Tagline: Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the best of the series.
Crazy For Fight III, this time available only for Unreal Tournament is the largest of the series - seven complete playable maps and three smaller ones to connect them make it obvious that CFF3 dwarves the previous installments easily. Made by the Japanese author Tatuyuki a.k.a. TA19, nowadays known under the moniker 'TA20' in 2001 it did see a limited release on his website, however as time progressed the file was lost and I had to contact the author himself to gain access. Now as you can see from the presence of this very text as well as the download link below it, the response was positive.
Crazy For Fight III is the finale of the series and it can clearly be seen that the author has improved a whole lot. I was expecting something similar to the final map of CFF2, however this came to me as a real surprise - the author has improved a lot. Everything, the visuals, the sound layer, the very concept, all of this shows how much TA20 has learned in the editor. It is a shame that we find out about the existence of this pack now, but better late than never.
The Nali village, prior to... You'll see.
The visuals are no longer simplistic this time around. While the architecture is certainly of the oldschool sort, it's less regular and the places themselves have a sense of concept and purpose which while nothing really big, is very well implemented and gives an idea of what's going on in there. While there is no written story for the pack, many things can be figured out from the locations themselves if nothing else. The levels are quite varied - a village, an ancient aquaduct below it, a town, a canyon of sorts (or a valley?), then a tech-rich outpost - all of this is clearly both inspired and inspiring in its own right.
An ancient walkway under the town.
While the levels mostly use Unreal Tournament tracks, they fit the CFF series' trademark arcade gameplay as well as the settings in which they are used. It's normally quite difficult to make typical fragfest music fit a single player adventure but TA20 has pulled it off successfully. Also, the ambience is there - finally - and it fits the locales quite well.
The gameplay formula hasn't changed drastically from the original CFF - it's still an arcade romp. At times a cutscene may appear and there's some adventure elements that mostly consist of exploring the locations to find the right switch or dealing with a blocked door to the jail cell the player's in - but all in all this is the same cheerful arcade carnage fest TA20 has made us used to, but enhanced, evolved.
Believe it or not, a Shining Skaarj will challenge you there.
As for the pack's flaws - sometimes certain events might not trigger if you're not in the exact spot, possibly due to small collision hulls of the relevant actors - but that doesn't happen very often. Construction bugs? I saw... like one? Not a big one though. And the scene where the player gets captured by the Skaarj - why the fresh hell did they allow me to keep my weapons with me in the jail cell, that's the question of the day. But aside from these flaws which are really nothing big - not even the last one, given that almost immediately the player gains access to the weapons they shouldn't have until that wall breaks, so the balance of the gameplay isn't changed by the bug, it's just an... oddity, nothing more... At any rate, the pack that has as many bugs as I have fingers on my right hand can be considered pretty polished.
What kind of a gore machine might this be?
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Crazy For Fight III is the best of the entire series. The visuals, whereas oldschool, are very decent, the audio layer is well implemented and the gameplay, while retaining the series' formula, is enhanced properly. There are even several translator messages scattered across one of the maps - while they don't reveal any storyline, being mere gameplay tips (translated by Frieza and Ividyon, polished by yours truly), the very fact of them being finally put there is a step forward. All in all, given the pack's age (made in 2001), TA20 made a damn good job and can easily compete with classics like Peril on Mars or StrangeWorld. This is how a series should end - with a bang.
The Water Castle, from a distance.
Looks pretty good actually.. thanks Delacroix!
Finally came around to play it. It's better than the last map of Crazy For Fight 2 - if my memory doesn't fool me. The first map was very promising with its scripted scenes and events. But at the end it's just fight, turn around the corner, fight. For that reason it can't compete with the innovative and inspiring map pack Strange World (referring to the last sentence of the review).
Apparently a Skaarj Berserker issue.
Also, unless there's another level like it later I lost all my weapons at the prison map.
Well, I passed _CFF3E without problem and on the other hand I could replicate this prison bug. I guess it depends on game version or something.

Withdrawal.org / Addiction Treatment / How Do I Transition from Detox to Addiction Treatment?
How Do I Transition from Detox to Addiction Treatment?
If you choose to attend a medically assisted detox program, it will be much easier for you to transition from withdrawal to addiction rehab. Call 800-662-8079 now to learn about your recovery options as well as how a certain facility will help you transition from one program to the next.
Withdrawal occurs because a person becomes physically and/or psychologically dependent on the drug, feeling that they need it to get through the day and experiencing severe symptoms when they are unable to get it. This can occur, though, even if a person is not abusing a drug but merely taking it as prescribed.
Therefore, medically supervised detox does not cure addiction, nor does it treat it. It simply paves the way for a person to experience less severe withdrawal symptoms so they can concentrate on their addiction recovery and care.
The medical professionals who provide detoxification care understand this, so they will often want to ensure that you are able to transition to addiction treatment safely.
Your doctor can help you decide if you’re ready for rehab.
According to the National Library of Medicine, “Long-term preventative treatment should begin” after the individual recovers from their withdrawal symptoms and is able to concentrate on recovery.
The doctors, nurses, counselors, volunteers, practitioners, and other individuals at your facility will help you make this transition much more easily.
When you begin to feel that the symptoms of your withdrawal are starting to subside, say so. It is important that your doctor stays informed of your condition so your treatment program can be modified to fit your changing needs.
Once it has been decided that you are ready for rehab, your doctor will make the necessary changes to your treatment program, weaning you off or slowly switching your medication and scheduling you to begin more treatment methods that are specifically geared toward your addiction recovery.
When you choose medically assisted detox as the first step of your recovery, the transition from withdrawal to addiction treatment is much easier and safer, as you will be assisted every step of the way by healthcare professionals.
Once you are stable and your withdrawal symptoms are no longer causing you severe issues, you can begin the less complicated transition into addiction treatment and your recovery can truly start.
Call 800-662-8079 now to find rehab centers where you can withdraw from and be treated for addiction any substance of abuse. We can help you find the right program for your specific needs as well.

Loitering is often the precursor to more menacing criminal activities. In some cases, it may put your tenants and visitors in danger. Residents at a Madison, Wisconsin senior living apartment complex faced an armed individual with a warrant for his arrest.
A 60-year-old resident saw a man asleep on a bench outside of her building. She asked him to leave but he remained on the property. The woman pulled out her phone to call police and the suspect knocked her to the ground, pulled out his gun and grabbed her phone. Two other residents attempted to call 911, but the suspect stole their phones, as well. Fortunately, one of the calls had briefly gotten through and officers were on the way. When they arrived, they saw the fleeing suspect, still holding a gun. After a chase involving officers on foot and in cars, the perpetrator was caught and arrested on a middle school playground. He was also wanted for his involvement in other burglaries and violent offenses, including a kidnapping in September.
It’s important to deter loitering before it becomes a more serious problem. Because residents are typically not equipped to handle certain situations, property managers should consider a proactive security service to help keep them safe. Our live video monitoring solution utilizes trained operators who watch surveillance cameras in real time. Depending on the situation, they will activate an on-site speaker warning and call police.
In this video, our monitoring operators saw a man loitering underneath the staircase at a Dallas, Texas property. We contacted the on-site guard, who instructed the man to leave the premises.

I’ve learned the hard way that no diet will be successful if you’re hungry all the time. Sheer willpower only saves you for so long before you fold, and begin eating everything in sight. For a weight loss plan to be truly successful, it needs to fill you up with healthy food…ones that will curb your hunger and make you feel satisfied. Only then will you lose weight.
Here are 9 simple ways to control ghrelin, the appetite-boosting hormone that triggers the brain to encourage eating.
Exercise aerobically. There’s nothing quite as effective to curb appetite than getting your heart pounding. Running, stair-climbing, and aerobic sports all can curb your will to eat for as much as two hours. Strength training is good too but is not as effective.
Eat protein. Try to eat plenty of rich proteins that are low in fat, such as lean meats. These protein rich foods are best at curbing ghrelin over a steady length of time. Carbohydrates will satisfy you at first, and then leave you hungrier than before, like a yo-yo.
Curb your sugar. Much like carbohydrates, sugar spikes your blood sugar. Then as the sugar is regulated by insulin, comes crashing down, causing a desire to eat more. Not only is sugar addicting, it adds no nutritional value. Your body does not need sugar for survival.
Eat your breakfast. This is a perfect time to eat protein. Eating lean protein at breakfast controls hunger for longer periods of time than any other time of the day. Eggs, lean meats, and protein rich smoothies and cereals are all good choices.
Add good fats to your diet. I know, this is the opposite advice of the low-fat craze that many of us grew up with, but your body needs healthy fats to function well. The body converts the unsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts, avocado and salmon into a compound that tells your brain to curb appetite.
Eat smaller meals more often. Having a small amount of food in your stomach throughout the day stimulates the production of a second hormone, peptide YY3-36, that reduces ghrelin production. This also helps to never have that starving feeling which can lead to overeating. The key word is “smaller”; watch your portions and choose wisely.
Plan ahead. When you’re hungry, survival mode kicks in, and you’ll grab the first food you see. Plan ahead by stocking your shelves with healthy quick foods, like nuts, cut-up vegetables, low fat cheeses, and low glycemic fruits. Keep healthy snacks in your car; they’re easy to package in snack-size bags.
Lower your stress. Why are so many of us stress eaters? Because the body makes extra ghrelin in response to stress, and makes us eat, especially foods like carbohydrates and fat. Find a stress-busting activity, like listening to music, calling a friend, going for a walk, or watching a funny movie.
Lose weight. Easier said than done, I know. But the above techniques will also help you shed a few pounds. People with leaner bodies produce more peptide YY3-36 than those who are overweight.

The friends suggested that our field trips would not be complete with out a visit to Housesteads Roman Fort to see a large section of Hadrian’s Wall. We had been to see several smaller chunks of the wall but never the more impressive stretch.
Hadrian’s Wall is 73 miles long and stretches across England from the coast of the North Sea to the coast of the Irish Sea. The Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the wall built on the northern most section of the Roman Empire in AD 122. The purpose of the wall was to keep out and defend against the “barbarians” to the north.
We explored the fantastic remains of the Roman Fort at Housesteads. They have the footprint remains of a commander’s headquarters, troop barracks, a latrine, the impressive gatehouse and of course the wall itself.
We saw a very informative video presentation about the fort and then did a bit of exploring around it ourselves.
The four Haynes’ felt up to a hike along the wall so Mr. Ray graciously agreed to let us head out and then meet us a car park 2 and a half miles down the road. The hike took quite a bit longer than we expected as the wall in this area crosses a very large cragg. Although it was difficult terrain the views of the wall and the surrounding land on either side was truly spectacular.

Corporate Culture, Staff Retention and Maximize Staff Performances and Outcomes.
Gary Fink, MA, works with various companies both locally and nationally focusing on development of corporate culture, staff retention and getting the most out of your valued and hard working staff.
Corporate culture is often thought of as that touchy-feely stuff that is difficult to define and should be left up to Human Resources to manage. For some it conjures images of toys scattered through the office and Segways running up and down the corridors, while some young pierced tech guy sits at his cube jamming out to music while he works. The reality is that culture is a business issue that has significant impact on a venture’s ability to generate a return on investment and should be prioritized and measured just like other business objectives such as financial growth, product development, sales, marketing and the like. Culture is defined as the identity and personality of an organization. It consists of the shared thoughts, assumptions, behaviors, and values of the employees and stakeholders. Culture is dynamic, ever-changing, and evolves with time and new experiences. Many factors help drive and define the culture, including leadership styles, policies and procedures (or sometimes lack thereof), titles, hierarchy, as well as the overall demographics and workspace. Culture is not just about having Nerf guns and scooters in the hallway. Culture exists in every organization, whether it is by design or by default.
Venture-backed companies understand the key importance of financial performance. They often live and die by it. The board will generally have stated goals around spending control, revenue generation and/or revenue growth. Culture, on the other hand, is rarely a metric that is monitored or viewed at an organizational level or by the venture companies that back the organization.
An organization’s culture may be one of its strongest assets or it can be its biggest liability. The reason culture is so important is that its impact goes far beyond the talent in the organization; it has significant influence on the organization’s goals. Culture drives or impedes the success of an organization. With culture impacting the talent, the product, the clients as well as the revenue, why would a company not measure, review and intentionally nurture something so important and critical to its success?
You don’t have to have a name like Google to understand how culture can drive a business strategy. Invodo is a venture-backed company in Austin, Texas, that helps other businesses increase sales through the power of video. Invodo takes pride in its culture, and it intentionally drives and promotes that culture with its new employees. One of the ways it does this is with a scavenger hunt for new employees that they have 30 days to complete. Items on the list include introducing yourself to the five executives of the company and scheduling a lunch with each one of them. Other items on the scavenger hunt include finding out how the company got started, identifying who was the first employee of the company, sitting in on a call with an Enterprise Sales Representative and finding out where the co-founders’ favorite coffee spot is located. Also as part of the hunt, new employees have to memorize the Invodo code (company values) and the mission statement. They then recite it at the next quarterly meeting. It is an incredible way to quickly integrate new employees into the organization’s cultures and to energize them about the company’s mission, vision and values.

My name's Marston York and I'm a voice over artist and writer in London, with a home studio and growing portfolio of voice work from animated character voices to continuity and narration.
A little while ago my friend Sarah, suggested that I consider doing workshops around voice work; after all, working with my voice is what I do. I've had a chance to work with some wonderful actors and theatre groups over the past year and today, Voice Play Ltd was part of the inaugural weekend for workshops at the Bob Hope Theatre on 16th September 2018.
I am really pleased that so many people took an interest in the vocalisation and characterisation workshop and the feedback has been really good and very useful.
Thank you to Sarah Howard for all of your support, encouragement and drive; to all the actors and voice artists, professional and non professional; to the Bromley Players, The Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre and the BHT who have participated in and helped to inform the workshops I can now deliver; and thank you to Jennifer Sims and the drama team at The Bob Hope Theatre for inviting me to present such an absorbing workshop.
It was wonderful seeing people's reactions to a breathing or vocal technique they hadn't considered before and how their voices changed and adapted in the course of just 2 and half hours.
I love language and I love talking out loud. Who knew that I would be helping other people to do the same thing.
I designed and delivered a 3 hour workshop to develop vocal understanding about how one's physical, mental and emotional state, environment and personal experience can shape the way the voice sounds. Thus giving a basis for developing character voices and different sounds through exercises and games. The workshop also included playing with how to create the basic sounds for different accents - specifically Lancashire based vowel sounds - by playing with placement of sound within the mouth, use of teeth, tongue, lips and visualisation with lots of game-playing and exercises to practice placement.
Working one to one to help an actor with no real experience of doing American accents discover her New York accent. We worked on specifics for particular areas of New York, mouth shape, vocal modulation, dynamism, phrasing and creation of specific sounds.
Working with Laura to develop strong character accents for the brilliant one-woman show, BOMBSHELLS, at the BHT in May, 2018.

As an all-round turbine in the 2.5 MW product line, the N90/2500 can be deployed at strong-wind sites. With different tower heights, it covers wind class IEC 1. Nordex also offers it with the option of a frequency of 50 or 60 hertz.
This makes the N90/2500 a very versatile 2.5 MW turbine and the classic in the series. Hundreds are in operation in various locations with vastly different climates and geographies across Europe, Asia and North America.
The rotor consists of three rotor blades made of high-quality glass fibre-reinforced polyester, a hub, slewing rings and drives for adjusting the rotor blades. A pitch system is used to control and optimise output. The variable-speed rotor enhances the aerodynamic effects and reduces the wind load on the system. If necessary, each rotor blade can be locked in any position by means of an innovative locking system to facilitate servicing.
The drive train consists of the rotor shaft, the gearbox, an elastic coupling and the generator.
Nordex equips the turbines with a two-stage planetary gearbox with a spur gear stage or with a differential gearbox. The gearbox is fitted with a cooling circuit with variable cooling output. The gearbox bearing and tooth engagement are kept continuously lubricated with oil.
The generator is a double-fed asynchronous machine. Nordex has been using this type of generator with variable-speed turbines successfully for many years. The main advantage is that only 25 – 30% of the energy produced needs to be fed into the electricity grid via a frequency converter. The deployment of this generator/frequency converter system thus cuts the total cost of the wind power system.
The gearbox, generator and converter of the turbine each have independent active cooling systems. The cooling system for the generator and frequency converter is based on a cooling water circuit, while the gearbox is cooled by an oil-based system. This ensures optimum operating conditions in all types of weather. A separate cooling system room at the rear of the nacelle facilitates access to the cooling units and ensures optimum performance of the individual systems.
The three redundant and independently controlled rotor blades can be set at full right angles to the rotation direction for aerodynamic braking. In addition, the hydraulic disc brake provides additional support in the event of an emergency stop.
The nacelle consists of the cast machine frame, a welded generator frame, a steel structure for the crane system and for supporting the nacelle housing and the nacelle housing itself, which is made of glass fibre-reinforced plastic. Ergonomically designed, it is spacious and thus very service-friendly.
The wind direction is continuously monitored by two redundant wind direction sensors on the nacelle. If the permissible deviation is exceeded, the nacelle yaw is actively adjusted by means of up to 4 geared motors.
The tubular steel tower is designed and certified as a modular tower. The requirements of EN 50308 in particular have been taken into account in the design of the tower interiors (access ladder, platforms, safety equipment). The transformer can be installed either inside or outside the tower.
The wind turbine has two anemometers. One anemometer is used for controlling the turbine, the second for monitoring the first. All operational data can be monitored and checked on a control screen located in the switch cabinet or via an external laptop. The data and signals are transmitted via ISDN for remote monitoring. At the click of the mouse, the operator can download all key data for the turbine from the Internet. The necessary communications software and hardware is supplied by Nordex.
Lightning and overvoltage protection of the entire wind turbine is based on the lightning protection concept and is in accordance with DIN EN 62305.

The team working on the Databox Project hosted their Cambridge open-source community launch on Friday 24th March at Darwin College, Cambridge.
Photos courtesy of Hamed Haddadi.
The morning session began with a formal introduction by Hamed Haddadi into the research project itself, explaining the high-level goals of the project: “Can we do detailed, user-centric, contextual analytics at a scalable rate without privacy disasters and legal challenges?” Richard Mortier followed with a summary of the technical architecture of the Databox and described the driving motive as an open-source, personal networked system, NOT another data silo that acts as a honey pot – the focus being to move computation to where the data is, thus reducing the movement of data itself. Tosh Brown and Yousef Amar then followed with (working!) demonstrations of the Databox SDK and UI, and development of drivers and applications at the container level.
The afternoon session was driven by the attendees, who were all asked to propose applications for and uses of the Databox, with small focus groups facilitating this development.
See my raw notes from the event below.
Thank you to all those who attended, the Databox Project team, and to the staff at Darwin College.
Join the community discussion in the Databox Discourse forum.
The Databox seeks to collate, curate and mediate third-party access to your personal data, whilst creating a user-friendly environment to effectively manage your data. We are generating data more than ever in the form of wearables, social media etc, and our digital footprint can be used by third parties to infer a wealth of information about us. Currently the user has little choice about which data is shared and with whom it is shared – we need a privacy-aware data analytics platform.
apps process the data, where the computation is. Apps installed as containers with explicit permissions upon installation and provided by the arbiter to allow them to access specific data.
The SDK provides a user-friendly cloud environment for building Databox applications quickly, and finding approved applications to use on your own Databox – you simply require a GitHub login to access it. The graphical programming environment allows you drag in and connect nodes, view the function output, and debug if needed. There are other useful details such as built-in virtualisations that allow you to view your data as graphs, lists etc, and application manifests which include any resources your app needs and different levels of functionality to correspond with existing devices. Current applications include Hue lights, a mobile sensing driver and Twitter.

Adding to my woes from the previous entry, the day after that (Wednesday) i woke-up not feeling too good at all. I decided there was no way that I was going to work, and as the day progressed, boy was I glad with that decision.
You may recall that at the end of last year I bragged about my vomit-free streak that i've had going since the start of 1999. I said back then that me bragging about it will probably curse me, and yesterday that proved correct (even though it took 6 months in coming).
Yesterday morning my spectacular 8 1/2 year streak came to an end. It would have been nice to have made it to a decade, but I guess I had a good run.
I'm usually a pretty healthy person, but I must have picked up a stomach bug in the past few days. I very rarely get sick (anything beyond a sore-throat or runny nose), so this is quite a strange and foreign experience to me.
Eight and a half years down the drain. What you should have done was digest it straight after it came out so technically it wouldn't count.
he gets sick?? he is human after all!!
actually, that's the same day that i got horrendously sick...giant whattha's all 'round!
hehe, some IT guys i know have actually had people ask if computer viruses are transmittable to humans.

Through the ages, as depicted in the works of many famous artists, a strong chin has been considered a sign of physical beauty.
On the other hand, a person with a receding chin is sometimes described as having a “weak” chin. Because their faces seem unbalanced to them, people with this condition often find it a source of distress and concern. Chin augmentation, or mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance by altering the facial contours. It is designed to add size to or move forward a receding chin. In some cases, a chin augmentation is done in conjunction with liposuction surgery of other cosmetic facial procedures such as rhinoplasty (surgery of the nose) and phytidectomy (facelift).
The best candidate for chin augmentation is the individual with a receding chin and a normal dental bite. For those with a bite dysfunction, jaw surgery, in conjunction with mentoplasty, may be necessary.
Prior to surgery, a complete medical history is taken in order to evaluate your general health. Careful examination of your face is also conducted. Dr. Gilmer will describe the type of anesthesia to be used, the procedure, what results might realistically be expected and possible risks and complications. Photographs may be taken before and after surgery to evaluate the amount of improvement.
Preoperative instructions may include the elimination of certain drugs which contain aspirin in order to minimize the possibility of excess bleeding. Antibiotics may be prescribed for a few days prior to surgery to prevent infection. The areas to be worked on are carefully marked.
The surgery can be done in our office on an outpatient basis. Medication to relax you may be administered prior to surgery.
There are two basic procedures used in mentoplasty: one involves moving the chin bone forward by an incision that is made inside the mouth ,the other the use of a plastic chin implant. The surgeon, working through the incision, uses special instruments to cut through the chin bone. The lower portion of the bone is then moved forward and sutured in to place. Small sutures are used to close the incision, and external bandages are applied to the area.
A second procedure, a chin implant, may also be used to create a more prominent jaw. In this technique, the incision is made either inside the mouth or externally, under the chin. A plastic prosthesis, sized exactly to fit the patient, is placed in a pocket above the chin bone and beneath the muscles. Sutures are used to close the incision and pressure bandages are applied. The procedure may take from two and a half to three hours or more depending on whether other procedures are done at the same time.
Pain connected with the surgery is minimal to moderate and is controlled with oral medication. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection. The bandages are usually removed within a week. Most patients are up and moving around the day of surgery; however, strenuous activities must be avoided for some time. Dr. Gilmer will advise you as to when normal activities can be resumed based on the extent of surgery and your personal healing process.
Some temporary swelling and bruising of the face are to be expected. Keeping the head slightly elevated when reclining and applying cold compresses may help reduce swelling. Chewing may be difficult for ten days to two weeks and numbness around the treated area may occur for a period of time. Brushing the teeth is sometimes difficult for several days.
Scars from the incisions fade significantly with time and are, for the most part, inconspicuous because of the location. Complications are rare; however, there are certain inherent risks connected with every surgical procedure which should be thoroughly discussed with the physician. You can minimize complications by carefully following directions given by Dr. Gilmer and his staff.
If you are interested in learning more about mentoplasty, please contact our office and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Shotgun hunters will appreciate the reach and power of this affordable 12 gauge load from Rio Royal. These shells come in a bulk priced case of 250 suitable for long term stockpiling and high volume use.
Each 2-3/4" shell in this case of 250 fires nine pellets of 00 buckshot at a muzzle velocity of 1,345 feet per second. This velocity is slightly higher than even most full power buckshot loads, giving it excellent effective range and terminal performance against deer and other game; in a hunting situation, the small amount of added recoil is not a major concern for most shooters. 00 buck has a nominal diameter of .330 inches (or 8.38 millimeters in metric units) and is well regarded for its strong penetration and terminal performance.
Rio Royal is a Spanish manufacturer with production facilities in both Spain and the United States. Their shotshells are well regarded for their reasonable cost and reliable ignition.

Research your plumber online even if you are in the position of not having the choice in which plumber is going to enter your home. You can use customer feedback to prepare for the plumber that the insurance company has assigned you. If you need a plumber, check out his or her credentials first.

WASHINGTON, July 19 (Reuters) - Fireworks are expected in U.S. Congress on Thursday when lawmakers question Kathy Kraninger, a senior government official and President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the consumer watchdog created after the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
Kraninger will be quizzed by U.S. Senators to prove she has adequate experience to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Democrats have said she lacks relevant experience and even some Republicans have questioned her familiarity with the consumer finance issues she would be tasked with policing.
Kraninger, 43, is a senior official at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB). She has extensive government managerial experience including at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which she helped set up, and at OMB where she manages the financial regulation portfolio, according to her biography.
But the success of her confirmation will rest heavily on her performance before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday, during which Kraninger will have to answer to progressive Democratic Senators Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren.
The two lawmakers have said Kraninger lacks experience and last month had demanded she clarify her involvement in Trump’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that separated more than 2,000 children from their parents.
On Tuesday they called unsuccessfully on the committee’s chair, Republican Senator Mike Crapo, to postpone the hearing until they got a response.
“There are always some who will say anything in order to create controversy where none exist. She is well qualified to lead the and she will do a great job protecting American consumers,” White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said on Wednesday.
The CFPB has been under attack from Republicans who claim the independent agency created by Congress to protect consumers from abusive lenders has over-stepped its legal statute.
The agency’s acting head Mick Mulvaney is also the OMB chief and works closely with Kraninger. He took over at the CFPB from Obama-era appointee Richard Cordray in November, and the agency has since dropped cases against payday lenders, shelved proposed regulations and overhauled some units.
Some Republican Senators including Crapo and Pat Toomey have backed Kraninger’s nomination. But other conservatives have raised concerns that her lack of consumer finance experience will hurt her confirmation chances.

Have you ever wondered why a nutrition plan that works for your friend doesn’t work for you? It’s because each individual is different and our basic nutritional needs differ from each other. It becomes all the more different for men and women. While the basic nutrition needs still stand the same for everyone, here’s a look at how you can take care of your nutrition needs specifically.
Men and women are 98.5% identical in their DNA. Thus there must be some differences that men and women need to follow in their nutrition plan. On an average, men need more calories than women to function. A person’s calorie intake must depend on their age, amount of physical activity they do and their BMI (Body Mass Index). On an average, a moderately active 125-pound woman needs 2000 calories a day while a 175-pound guy with similar exercise pattern needs 2800 calories. While a healthy, balanced diet is key to overall good mental and physical health, one should customize their calorie intake accordingly.
Women are more prone to osteoporosis in future. Men can also suffer from the same, however, their chances of developing it later in life is lesser. Thus in terms of nutrition, women must take special care of their calcium intake to keep track of their bone health. They can also go for calcium supplements if they feel that their calcium intake is less than what is necessary for their system.
On an average women also need more iron than men because they tend to lose iron with each menstrual period. Men, on the other hand needs just 8mg of iron a day compared to the 18gm a woman needs. Men should try and avoid excess iron because it can lead to harmful deposits in various organs. Red meat is the richest dietary source of iron and men should try and keep its consumption at a minimum.
When it comes to an overall nutrition. Both men and women must keep in mind that taking simple, small steps will work more than any dramatic changes. Simple things like not overeating, moderating your calorie consumption and including nutrient rich foods like vegetables, whole grains and proteins will work more for you in the long run. You can also take care of your nutrition by boosting it up and filling in the gaps with the right supplements.
Another thing you can keep in mind, whatever your gender may be, is that snacking is not bad as long as you are snacking on something healthy and nutritious. Instead of that bag of chips or cookies, you can go for a few almonds or some vegetable sticks. Your goal should be to eat healthy and snack healthy because at the end of the day, nothing can replace a daily healthy, balanced and nutritious diet.

Argumentative research paper topics with GlobalWritings.net!
Extensive research is a prerequisite. This is especially required more on argumentative research paper topics for college students. A good topic backed by excellent research inevitably leads to a wonderful essay.
An argument essay requires one to articulate a clear stand on a particular issue. The stand can be a question, fact or simply an opinion. The thesis statement of the essay must, therefore, clearly show that you are, in fact, arguing for or against the topic or an issue raised by the topic.
Everyday encounters can help you get argumentative research paper topic ideas. Look at your surrounding and see what inspiration you can draw to fuel your argument. topics formulated from real life encounters often are the best to write about since the writer has first-hand and thus credible information upon which the argument will be based.
Other sources of topics for argumentative research papers include the media. Magazines, newspapers, journals, radio and TV could prompt you to argue about a topic that you find intriguing. Often these sources will help you get topics that are about current events and topics that are relevant to the society. A student who can write perfectly on such topics stands to gain the admiration of the professor, and consequently good grades will be awarded.
The other incredible source is the internet. Any good search engine will get you links to sites that can help you find interesting topics to write about. These topics are common topics and often easy for the student to tackle. With the internet also comes a wide database from which data and supporting evidence can be gathered. Several websites exist that are exclusively aimed at helping students find topics for their research papers.
When hunting for a subject to write about have an open minded approach. Do not limit your thoughts only to one particular topic area. This is unless your professor has explicitly demanded that your argument be directed towards a precise angle.
The best arguments are usually based on current and/or highly controversial happenings. If a student can express his or her thoughts on such things in a way that appeals to the reader, it is possible gain an amazingly good grade.
Topics for argument essays can range from historical events like the cold war to future events like future technological advances. However, the topic has to be logical and relevant. Remember that all you facts and opinions have to be substantiated with credible, believable and related evidence.
Convicts on death row should be used for medical research rather than being subjected to death.
Therefore, when picking a topic to write about let sound judgment and logic guide your selection; additionally keep off topics that are rather volatile and thus lack a neutral stand. Other topics to avoid are those that clearly only have one side.

LingPipe's web demos are implemented as Java servlets (version 2.4) and deployed in the Apache Tomcat servlet container (version 5.5).
The rest of this page provides instructions for running the demos on the web.
The web archive (.war) file is created and deployed through the ant build file build.xml.
where DemoName is the name of the demo; e.g. echo or sentence_en_news.
Most browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) allow the user to set the page's character set using the top-level browser View menu and selecting the Encoding option, and then the appropriate character set.
After reading an HTML page, a browser may reset the character encoding based on the encoding declared in the HTTP content type or by including a meta element setting the content type of the page with a charset declaration (as is done on this page).
Text may be entered directly into the input form by typing or any other platform-supported means such as cut-and-paste or special character input (e.g. for Chinese).
Parameters with fixed sets of choices are entered using pull-down menus. Open-ended parameters are entered through small text fields.
It is important for text input forms (but not other web demos) that the character set declared in a browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) be the same as that declared for input text. This step is required to allow cut-and-paste and direct input to be captured correctly by the browser before being sent as bytes to the web server.
After the text is entered and parameters are selected, pressing the submit button sends the text and parameters to the server as an appropriately formatted HTTP request.
The server will return a page containing XML to the client, which the client will then display. Display behavior depends on the client.
An absolute path to the file on the user's system may be entered directly, or the browse button may pressed in order to find the file using the platform's file browser.
Parameters are entered using pull-down menus or by small text fields if they are open-ended.
Pressing the submit button after the file is chosen and parameters are set causes the file to be sent as part of an HTTP request to the web server running the demo.
LingPipe demos may be accessed directly as a web service through HTTP. Rather than using a form, a client program can directly send an HTTP request to the server. This can be done through an HTTP client in any language.
This client may be easily adapted to serve as a web service client for the LingPipe demos.
Text input should be provided as post data.
Parameters should be URL encoded as part of the request URL. For more information on URL encoding, see the class documentation for java.net.URLEncoder.
If a character set is specified, it will be used to decode the text sent as a byte stream. The character set may also be specified as a parameter.
The demos process data in one of three formats: plain text, HTML or XML. How that data is presented to the demo varies based on whether the demo is on the web, in a GUI, or a command.
For XML and HTML input, the elements to tag may be specified as a comma-separated list of element qualified names in the text field labeled includeElts. Another comma-separated list of names may be removed altogether from the input (though their content is left behind) in the text field labeled removeElts.
The demo output format is XML in all cases. Plain text is minimally wrapped in an element. HTML is parsed using NekoHTML into well-formed XML. XML is passed through with inline annotation.
The web demos all require both input and output character sets to be specified. The web forms will initially show the default character set of the server's Java virtual machine. They will also show all of the other encodings available on the platform.
Character encodings for the input and output are specified through pulldown menus labled inCharset and outCharset respectively.

Drawing from a lifetime rich in experience and wisdom, Kim Illig offers a unique blend of healing for her clients. She brings together her most current training as a Certified Intuitive Counselor with her past trainings as a Hellerwork Practitioner and as a nurse to bring a unique educational and healing experience to a wide variety of individuals and groups.
Since she was 10 years old and wrote her first report on the human circulatory system, Kim has remained fascinated by the workings of the human systems. In 1975, she became a nurse and worked in a busy orthopedic clinic where she learned extensively about how the body moves and heals. In 1980, Kim took time off from her profession to focus on her new job as a mother.
In 1986, more interested than ever in body healing, Kim was introduced to the bodywork modality of Hellerwork. It was working within this discipline that allowed her to integrate structural bodywork, movement education, and self-awareness dialogue; all keys to living to your full potential.
In 1999 her passionate interest focused on the Intuitive System. Realizing the validity of the unseen world, she studied many years with Caroline Myss and Norm Shealy about how to encourage people’s healing journey by making their personal energy management a high priority.

Controversial Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has instructed his police force to come up with a plan to stop illegal gambling in the country. Mr. Duterte has a zero-tolerance policy for cracking down on the use of illegal narcotics and it appears his number 2 nemesis is illegal gambling in his country doing a complete about face on his initial proclamation “Pay your taxes, and gamble until you die” I don’t really care.
Recently he has ordered the National Police to work along side the Philippines Charity Sweepstakes Office to rid the country of corrupt gambling. The Philippines has 18 licensed gambling entities in the country and they will be targeting unregistered agencies that offer games of chance.
It appears that although President Duterte will be willing to give these entities due process in court which is something he hasn’t done with the illegal drug trade.

How to make ice cream is a question that I am sure anyone would ask. After all, everyone likes ice cream, right? So, isn’t there a way to have great tasting ice cream without running to the grocery store or ice cream shop?
Well, actually, there is. If you can get your hands on a half cup of milk, one tablespoon of sugar, one quarter of a teaspoon of vanilla extract or chocolate syrup, lots of ice, some rock salt, and some plastic bags, than you can actually make yourself a serving of homemade ice cream! Is it hard? Well, not really. Actually, anyone can do it!
First, mix the sugar, milk, and flavoring in a bowl. You will then seal the ingredients in a quart-sized plastic bag. Then, you will need to take around two quarts of ice, and crush it. If your freezer makes crushed ice than this will be easy for you. Other ways to crush ice are with a blender, or you could even do it with a rolling pin, but be careful not to hit your fingers! Mix the ice and the salt in a one gallon bag together. They should fill up about half the bag.
Next, you will place the well sealed bag of ingredients into the bag of salt and ice. Do not allow the ingredients to mix with the salt and ice, simply use the salt and ice to make the bag of ingredients cold, thereby turning them into ice cream! Gently knead and mix the bag of ingredients until this happens. It should take about fifteen minutes.
Than…Presto! Open the smaller bag of ingredients and enjoy your ice cream! So, that is how to make ice cream. Not very hard, and anyone can do it with even simple ingredients kept around the house!

We accept commercial and private insurance.
We bill and accept most government and private insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid secondary, and Medicare Advantage Plans. That also includes billing all supplemental (“Medigap”) insurers. We even accept Medicare assignment and do all the paperwork!
Our fees are dictated by Medicare, and posted on the website of its Intermediary Contractor, Palmetto GBA.
After patients have met its annual deductible, Medicare pays 80% of a clinician’s fees. Medicaid and many supplemental insurance plans pay some or all of the fees not covered by Medicare — the 20% co-insurance and annual deductible.
Any balance remaining after all insurers pay becomes the patient’s responsibility. All medical practices are required by law to collect those amounts; failure to do so results in severe fines and even criminal penalties. DMHC “balance bills” only when we know the correct amount that is the patient’s responsibility.
For patients without supplemental insurance, we bill the 20% co-insurance at the time of service.
Please note that we no longer accept Medicaid as primary insurance. If you have insurance through Medcost, Healthteam Advantage, Cigna HealthSpring, First Medicare Direct, or Partners Health plans, we are happy to file your insurance papers, but the payment is required at the time of the visit.
Doctors Making Housecalls charges a “trip service fee” of $95.00 when patients are seen in a private residence, which compensates our clinicians for their travel time. We waive the fee when we see multiple patients during a scheduled visit in a business, retirement community, or other communal settings.
Should you have questions about the trip fee, your co-pay or anything else related to billing and insurance, feel free to contact our office toll-free at 1-844-932-5700 ext. 499 or send us a message.

The project, which has a pilot production commitment at the network, centers on six morally ambiguous strangers, each with their own unique specialties and secret pasts, are brought together by an enigmatic figure who blackmails them into working as a team to expose the corruption of the corporate and political elite.
Similar to DC’s “Suicide Squad,” Secret Six has had multiple incarnations in DC Comics over the years. The original team, created by writer E. Nelson Bridwell and artist Frank Springer in 1969, featured lesser-known characters like August Durant, Crimson Dawn and King Savage. The concept was rebooted in 1988 by writer Martin Pasko and artist Dan Spiegle featuring new and original members. Writer Gail Simone created a third version in 2005 made up of DC Comics villains like Deadshot and Lex Luthor.
Former “Suits” EP Rick Muirragui is set to write the script for the adaptation, with Bill Lawrence and Jeff Ingold of Doozer Productions attached to executive produce the project from Warner Bros. Television.
The last DC adaptation at CBS, “Supergirl,” debuted on the network in 2015 and moved to The CW after one season. DC’s other current TV projects include four other CW series — “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Legends of Tomorrow” and “Black Lightning” — as well as “Gotham” on Fox, “Krypton” on Syfy and a number of planned series for its dedicated streaming service.
Bill Lawrence and Doozer Productions are represented by ICM Partners and attorney Jared Levine.

Title: Wilderness versus non-wilderness: a comparison of white-tailed deer physiological characteristics and hunter success rates.
Author(s): Wooster, K. 0. and J. Ezell.
Abstract: Harvest data from the Cohutta WMA in the Chattahooche National Forest in Georgia were examined to determine if there was a difference between white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) harvested from the Cohutta Wilderness and deer harvested outside the wilderness where typical forestry and wildlife practices occur. The 90,000 acre Cohutta WMA includes the 35,000 acre Cohutta Wilderness. The wilderness does not contain a vegetative age class less than 10 years old, while non-wilderness age classes include 6 percent less than 10 years old. In 1989, following an excellent mast yield in 1988, there was no significant difference in body weights, antler diameter, main beam length and number of points (P = 0.05). But these parameters tended to be greater outside the wilderness. Six years of mast surveys indicate that main beam length was moderately dependent on previous years mast crops (R2 = 0.35,0.59 for the 1.5 and 2.5 year age class respectively). Body weights were less predictable from mast crops (R = 0.28, 0.14 for the 1.5 and 2.5 year age class respectively). This may be due to the time of year deer are harvested. Hunter success inside the wilderness for antlered deer was 3.2 percent while outside the wilderness success was 5.7 percent. Age distribution inside the wilderness was 29 percent in the 1.5 year age class, 6 percent in the 2.5 year age class and 65 percent in the 3 1/2+ age class including 15 percent in the 6 112 age class. Outside the wilderness age distribution was 59 percent 1.5, 11 extended to locals and camp owners, only 8.6% of the lease hunters agreed. Eighty-seven percent of the permit hunters indicated that they intend to hunt the site during the 1990 hunting season. Over 80% of the permit hunters felt that the study did not considerably inconvenience them, a study of this nature was of value to the hunting public, and there should be more publicity about the study. About 55% of the permit hunters indicated they would consider leasing land to secure hunting privileges for themselves. Of those indicating they were not interested in leasing hunting privileges, only 34% said their decision would change if the land was specifically managed for deer if leasing meant less competition for hunting space. Most (97%) of the lessees were satisfied with the lease and intend to enew their membership. About 55% of the members were interested in a multi-year lease. The lessees have experienced improved hunt quality through leasing with safety ranked as the primary reason; followed by, greater harvest opportunities, less competition, ease of access, and fellowship. Sixty-three percent of the lease hunters increased the amount of time spent deer hunting because: 1. They knew they had a place to hunt, 2. They had more free time than usual, and 3. They spent money for a place to hunt.

Part three of three for the Mommy Makeover segment from NBC Bay Area’s, KNTV, Living Well with host Peggy Pico.
On this show we discussed the Mommy Makeover San Francisco, focussing on Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, Mini Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. I previously posted two excerpts from the show. The first is on Breast Enhancement (Breast Augmentation) and the second covers Belly Enhancement, tummy tucks and mini tummy tucks. This segment will discuss Liposuction.
There are many Plastic Surgery Videos available on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog. Click on Videos, under Categories in the column, for a complete listing.
This video discusses Liposuction. The most broadly effective type of liposuction is tumescent liposuction. A liposuction cannula is used to demonstrate how liposuction is performed. Most liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis, and usually a compression garment is used for a few weeks after surgery. Before and after photos are also reviewed.
I hope this provides some new information on Liposuction. If you would like more information on Liposuction San Francisco, click here to visit the Liposuction page on DrMele.com.

HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Jamal Crawford‘s had some big weeks, but he has yet to win the NBA’s Player of the Week award. Jordan Crawford has. So it goes.
Jamal Crawford, though, is having one helluva February and should be a leading candidate for the league’s monthly award in the Western Conference.
Ah heck, who are we kidding? He won’t win it. Just like when the West coaches didn’t put him on the All-Star team last season for what would have been the first time of his career. And like when a panel of genius writers and broadcasters later crossed him over for the 2013 Sixth Man of the Year award and handed it to the clown prince of New York, J.R. Smith.
And now, get this: Crawford’s played so well this season, been so steady, so reliable, so needed that he’d win Sixth Man hands down. But … he’s out of the mix because he’s been forced into the Los Angeles Clippers’ starting lineup way too often — 22 times and counting — as an injury reinforcement.
So, as for the West Player of the Month? LeBron James having his mug being chiseled on the actual Mount Rushmore has better odds. Nah, the monthly honor will probably go to Kevin Love or Kevin Durant. Maybe James Harden or even Crawford’s rather deserving teammate, Blake Griffin. Those four, plus James and Carmelo Anthony over in the East, are the only guys averaging more points this month than Crawford’s 25.2. All-Stars, every last one of them. And not a single one of them’s even hit 30.
Hey, it’s cool. It’s just where would the Clippers be right now without their soon-to-be-34-year-old (March 20) shooting guard with the sick, launch-from-anywhere rainbow 3, and the insanely deft handle?
Not 39-20. Not holding down the No. 4 playoff spot.
Here’s Crawford’s stellar season-to-date statistics: 31.0 mpg, 19.1 ppg, 3.3 apg, 2.3 rpg, 42.1 percent shooting overall, 37.2 percent from deep and 85.9 percent from the stripe.
And here’s his numbers through 10 games in February: 36.5 mpg, 25.2 ppg, 4.0 apg, 2.4 rpg, 48.8 percent shooting overall, 41.1 percent from deep and 90.4 percent from the stripe.
Even better: With Crawford on the floor in February, the Clippers’ offensive rating (points per 100 possessions) soars to 121.6 and when he sits it drops to 102.6 — a 19-point cliff dive.
Crawford’s explosion helps explain the Clippers’ rise as the No. 1 offense in the league this month, boasting an offensive rating of 115.1 and averaging 113.9 ppg, even with Chris Paul reintegrating himself into the lineup and playing only six of the 10 games. L.A.’s playing quicker, getting in transition more and the Thunder win was a shining example with 27 of its 34 fastbreak points coming in a 72-point first half. The Clippers’ pace (possessions per 48 minutes) is at a season-high clip in February, 99.35, compared to December’s previous high of 97.81.
Asked Sunday if he’s considered moving Crawford back to the bench to give some punch to a lacking second unit even with would-be starter J.J. Redick still hurt, coach Doc Rivers literally couldn’t have swatted the question back quicker.
In just the last two games, huge back-to-back road wins at Oklahoma City and New Orleans to get to 16-15 away from Staples Center, Crawford, in his 14th season and somehow on his fifth team in the last six seasons (second in a row with the Clips) — scored 60 points, buried a dozen 3s, shot 56.8 percent overall and dropped nine dimes.
Really, this run started in January, not February. During the 18 games Paul missed with a separated shoulder from early January to just before the All-Star break, Crawford posted 22.0 ppg, 5.0 apg, 2.7 rpg and shot 39.3 percent from beyond the arc. The Clippers held steady, going 12-6.
Crawford hasn’t missed a game this season. As a starter he averages about 10 more minutes a game, yet in Crawford’s perfect world, Redick would start Wednesday against the Rockets — he won’t, and is out for weeks yet — and Crawford would come firing off the bench.
Is a Most Invaluable Player award something to look into?
He’s a straight up baller and one of the best pure scorers in the league.
The Clippers beat Oklahoma Thunder because of this guy.
Jamal is just a natural talent. It’s a crime he never made the reserves once for the All-Star team.
yea its a shame how he has never mad a all star game neither has Monta Ellis they are the most underrated players in the NBA.
