“I tend to think of poetry as a technology, as an ancient, durable data storage solution. Humans invented poetic devices to save and transmit information: behaviors, stories, and memories that we had no other way of storing before written language. For many people, poetry and technology don’t go together. They regard poetry as the essence of what it means to be human, and technology as soulless, unemotional, nonhuman. But technology is what has made us human over time.”
Artist Sasha Stiles creates in a unique space amongst art and science, poetry and technology,And while these fields are often posed as opposites, Stiles isn’t so limiting. Her creative process explores the possibility of a post-human world and results in traditional verse, collaborative AI poetry, and artwork based in binary code. Her Cursive Binary series consists of words and phrases in binary code but written in her own handwriting, while Analog Binary Code represents digital language as tactile objects. Technelegy (technology + elegy) is the “transhuman alter ego” for Stiles and the AI with which she collaborates in eir collaborative poems as well as her own poetry explore age-old themes with a forward-looking twist: what it means to give birth, to be alive, to die, to live forever AI researcher, and co-founder of theVERSEverse, an NFT poetry gallery. As poetry mentor to BINA48 since 2018, she Stiles’s cross-media work has been honored in the Future Art Awards, nominated f, exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art, Miami Art Week, SXSW, New York Fashion Week and Virtual Times Square, published as NFTs, and auctioned at Christie’s.

Its 95 kWh battery pack offers an EPA-estimated driving range of 218 miles per charge, and Audi says that you can refill 58 miles of driving range on a 10 minute charge at a high-speed 150kW charging station, or up to 174 miles of range in 30 minutes at the same kind of charger. For anyone who cares, it’s rated at a combined 77 MPGe, an apples-to-oranges figure that I think has no actual value to buyers.

Roughly two hundred anime series are made every single year. Let me ask you: how many of those have you watched? Not all of them, I’m sure. It would be difficult to do so! But it’s not impossible.
Anime fans are always up to date on the new releases of an episode or series and like to keep tabs on anime universe news.
And what better way to get invested than by using Funimation? Funimation will quickly become a go-to site to watch every genre of anime, from romance to horror to comedy. Things you can’t find on your TV.

What is the Funimation streaming service?
Never heard of it before? Funimation is a streaming service that offers all of the most popular anime straight to your device! Recently Funimation merged with anime streaming powerhouse and leading digital publisher Crunchyroll to create the best anime platforms for you.
If you’ve ever had the chance to watch anime that has been translated - or dubbed into English, you have definitely watched it on Funimation.
Whether you want to view the school life of Izuku Midoriya in My Hero Academia, the oceanic adventures of Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece, learn How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, the efforts of Tanjiro to enter the Corps in Demon Slayer or the epic battles of Goku in Dragon Ball Z, you can find the right show for you on Funimation.
Control your streaming experience, skip forward, pause, add content to your favorites and search for whichever show or episode you want to watch and watch on your favorite devices, including mobile devices and your smart TV.
The Funimation Global Group has an entire library of content related to anime and mangas, and their language voice-overs can be expensive to produce – which means higher prices for customers like us.
Is there a Funimation Free account?
Believe it or not, yes, Funimation offers a free account, and they let you watch all the shows, subbed or dubbed, in their library!
Even better: signing up for the Funimation streaming service for free is simple.
Head to the Funimation website subscription plan page.
Click the Sign Up For a Free Account tab at the bottom.
Enter your email and password and click the red Continue button.
That’s all you need to bring the best animation in Japan right to your Funimation app!
So why would anyone give up being a free user?
I’ll tell you why: adverts!
Think about the climax of your favourite series. The world is about to collapse, or the couple is just about to kiss! And then bam… a commercial!
We don’t like these interruptions; nobody likes ads, and Funimation knows it.
That is precisely why Funimation Premium subscriptions were created. You get a premium service and no ads.
If you are unsure whether to upgrade, you can test the product first with the free trial plan.
Does Funimation Premium come with a Free Trial?
Yes, the streaming service provides a fourteen-day free trial period to anyone wanting to test it out!
With your Funimation free account already created, you can choose from one of three Funimation Premium plans:
Funimation Premium, which provides early access to ad-free subs and dubs for up to 2 devices simultaneously.
Funimation Premium Plus, which provides you with deals on its merchandise and offline viewing for up to 5 devices simultaneously.
Funimation Premium Plus Ultra, which provides you with all the above, plus a special prize once per year.
All you have to do is click the “Start My Free Trial” tab beneath the plan of your choice to take its features for a spin! Enjoy at least two weeks of no ads, access to the entire library on the Funimation app and website, and maybe even access to offline viewing!
But be careful: once the two weeks free trial is over, you will have to pay for the service chosen.
How Much Does Funimation Premium Cost?
Depending on what plan you choose, Funimation Premium has three different prices:
Funimation Premium, for $5.99/month (or $72/year). This lets users watch Funimation on two simultaneous streams and access subs and dubs on content.
Funimation Premium Plus, for $7.99/month (or $96/year). This lets users access up to five simultaneous streams, with subtitles or dubbing, and watch movies, episodes of their favorite or popular series and much more offline.
Funimation Premium Plus Ultra, for $99.99/year upfront. This gives you access to up to five simultaneous streams and all of the above perks.
To sign up, click the red subscribe button, enter your payment details, and you will receive a verification email about your new account. Verify yourself, and before you know it, you will have the best movies and TV episodes at your disposal.
But yikes – those prices are nothing to sneeze at! Take a cue from all those anime you want to watch and find a team of anime fans to shoulder the burden with you (or, in this case, the bill).
After all, with Funimation Premium Plus, you can share your streams, and the price, with up to four other people!
What’s that? You don’t know enough fellow otakus who can afford it? Don’t go Super Saiyan just yet, and turn to other future brands!
Together Price has just the solution you need to watch the Funimation App for less!
How to save on Funimation Premium Plus
If you are wondering if a paid subscription to Funimation is really worth the cost or if you have to give up your Funimation subscription because of the costs, we have the perfect solution for you!
Share your account and save money! Let’s spell out how…
It costs $7.99 a month to subscribe to Funimation, and you can stream on 5 devices simultaneously. This means you can share your subscription with 4 other people cutting your costs by 80%. So you can watch Funimation for a fifth of the price!
Sharing your account can become a messy business. Finding fellow fans to share with, chasing them for their money, keeping tabs on payments. It’s all so time and energy-consuming and demotivating. Even when you know, you will get the best prices by putting in all that work!
Well, the good news is that there is a new service that does it all for you, so you can stream anime easily. It’s called Together Price, and it’s the first worldwide site for sharing subscription costs. More than 1 million people are already enjoying the benefits of Together Price.

A downtown businessman and developer has questioned whether the city violated its own bylaws with disposal of the parking garage at One Riverside Drive West without putting it out for tender or for sale on the open market.35 PM EST
The parking garage at One Riverside Drive West is seen on Nov. 7, 2017. Dax Melmer / Windsor Starby selling“In disposing of anything over $25,000, it should be made available to the public,” said Joe Mikhail of Mikhail Holdings which owns the downtown CIBC and Starbucks buildings. “They have to go through the procedure and put it out there. (The parking garage) does not belong to council, it belongs to taxpayers.”
“Everything has to be transparent. I am not going to get into the deal and whether they got too much or too little — just follow all the rules.”
But Windsor’s city solicitor Shelby Askin Hager said the city’s original 1999 agreement for the riverfront building allowed council to avoid putting the parking garage up for sale.
“That agreement prescribes on how all things are dealt with,” she said. “With the parking garage, the owner has the right of first refusal. If we wanted to sell the garage, we had to go to them first any way. We could have went to public tender if we were not happy with the offer and try to maximize the return.
“But to dispose of the asset it was in the agreement that binds us to go to them first, so there was no violation of the bylaw.”
Council voted unanimously Monday One Riverside Drive West for $6 million to the building’s owner, Europro Real Estate, which bought the office building just over a year ago for $32 million.
The 521 parking spots in the garage are primarily filled each weekday by employees who work in the building.
Mayor Drew Dilkens first hinted in August the city was looking at selling the garage which he described as a money loser over the past five years. Since 2012, the garage has been losing between $47,000 and $110,000 a year, he told the Star.
A Europro spokeswoman indicated Tuesday gaining control of the garage works nicely with contractual obligations the company has with the building’s tenants.
“One Riverside is a cornerstone downtown building and we continue to believe that a successful downtown is vital to the vibrancy of the city as a whole,” said Nelly Horovitz.
She noted the retail corner of the building currently occupied by National Bank “will soon become available and offers potential tenants a marquee corner.”
It had been on the city’s wish list for years to remove itself from all connections to the former Canderel building, but there were no opportunities under previous ownership, said CAO Onorio Colucci.
Europro felt it was critical to securing future tenants to have “full control over the parking operation” and was willing to end all lease arrangements in order to achieve that, he said. Discussions began a year ago, soon after the company purchased the building, Colucci said.
The city’s parking garage commitment otherwise would have stretched until 2101.
Colucci disputed the opinion the city would have done better than $6 million putting the garage up for sale.
“If there was even a small chance, that’s the route we would have gone,” he said. “All the spaces are tied up in long-term leases that are below market value for tenants in the building (predominantly FCA Canada).
“There is not a business case for another user buying the garage by charging higher fees, because of those long-term leases. That’s why this was the only sale that made sense.”
Windsor Family Credit Union holds the mortgage on the building for Europro. A separate agreement includes 25 per cent ownership of the building. Former Mayor Eddie Francis is now WFCU president.
WFCU is “a silent investor” and has no say in the building’s direction, said Francis on Tuesday.
“The building’s owners have full control,” he said. “We are a limited investor and they do everything to manage and operate the building.”
The credit union got involved as part owner in the “belief” that Europro’s vision for the building fits “with what we want to see in the community,” Francis said.
He had no comment on the city’s ability to finally rid itself of costly agreements and obligations to the riverfront tower.
His brother, Fred Francis, sits on city council, but city clerk Valerie Critchley confirmed he declared a conflict on Monday’s council vote to sell the parking garage and other agreements on the riverfront building with Europro.
In regards to his brother on council, Eddie Francis indicated rules and procedures ensured “he had nothing to do with the decisions” that were made.

I used to travel a lot for last 5 years and now working on my projects more but host rarely with the lack of free time. If it happens, I can guide you through local community of activists, creative and social enterpreneurs.
When I'm traveling I'm interested in politics, arts, activism and grassroots initiatives, also cities' routine, daily life of people. The best thing is to make something good for a place: go clean the beaches from trash, cook and feed people outdoors, organize a party for random people in the park. Now I go somewhere more for study or exchange.
[ Sorry, I won't be able to host you for the World Cup cause with the flatmates we'v rented out all space:( But please let me know if you wanna joing the campaign.]

last week i fell.
it was a tornado of several things. . .but it all boiled down to me feeling like a failure.
even as a hobbyiest.
but it brought me down low and made me come face to face with some pretty deep issues about myself. . .
which meant then i could try to work on them.
and yesterday afternoon i felt a huge shift. followed by moment after moment of light and kairos.
there were two things i finally did this week that i have been advised to do for four years. sometimes i am slow at learning. but, sometimes i think that's okay. things take awhile to process. it all works out. a good reminder to be patient with ourselves, or others.
so i kinda hit a rock bottom, and was able to bounce back up. and it reminded me of this post i wrote several years ago about failure.
last night tim and i watched mom's night out. for the first thirty minutes we laughed so hard, i had to lean forward and clutch my stomach to breathe. at one point (while the mom is in the closet having a melt-down) tim asked looking around, "are there cameras in our house?" if you want to know what i'm really like, when i'm not with you, this movie might give you a pretty good idea:). and there is tim (like the husband in the movie), bringing home flowers again and trying to talk me down again.
but, i show up.
and sometimes, just sometimes, i am rewarded with a flood of kairos in one night to give me a glimpse of what the bagpipes might sound like.
skyler made an impromptu "cooking show" during dinner prep. i filmed him making salad and quinoa salad and it was pretty much adorbs.
how can you go wrong when raw chocolate and coconut oil are involved? these are the cookies (made by 'raw melissa') i am willing to buy for $1 a piece at good earth when i am too lazy to make them.
these moment of kairos were followed by some awesome bonding time with davis and his new hedgehog. while we were cleaning out his cage. seriously.
and then tim came home late and skyler was DYING to read mo willems elephant and piggie book with him (skyler is SO excited about these books).
then we had family prayer all on my bed. all five of us, with roxy (our dog) and hedgie (the hedgehog). skyler laughed his head off all through the prayer, but for once i didn't feel like giving up. i felt like this was just as it should be.
highs and lows and try agains.

A leading transportation research organization wants to know what you think about the availability of truck parking.
Researchers want to know what you think
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) collected over 800 driver surveys on the topic of truck parking at last week’s Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville.
Drivers who did not attend MATS can still provide input on truck parking.  ATRI’s survey is now available to drivers online through its website at www.atri-online.org.  ATRI will collect driver responses on the truck parking survey through the end of April.
ATRI’s latest survey cross-references driver perceptions of truck parking availability with the viability of truck parking reservation systems and exactly how truck drivers put a “value” on truck parking availability.
This latest ATRI data collection initiative was driven by the selection of truck parking as one of the top priority research topics for 2015 by ATRI’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC).  Additionally, truck parking continues to rank high in ATRI’s annual Top Industry Issues Survey; in the 2014 survey Truck Parking ranked sixth overall but among truck drivers in the survey it ranked second, eclipsed only by the challenges associated with the hours-of-service regulations.
Parking: not just a complaint by drivers anymore

I've never heard of "halti" before, but the gentle leader is a leash that goes over the nose and hooks under their chin. Basically it has the same principle as a horse's bit, where it leads them by the nose. I have a friend who also swears by them, but she gets lots of funny looks because people think it's a muzzle.
We now use a prong collar to train. He no longer pulls when we walk and doesn't need the collar. When we practice obedience training or teach him new commands, we use a prong collar. However, unless you are taught the correct way to use a prong collar, never use it.
I have a halti which is like a gentle leader for Presley.. I personaly don't like it! If you'd like i will send it to you!!!!
I do not like them but i guess they do work for some.
we have lupis for our dogs, they are like a sled harnes but smaller. They have worked wonders with our lab Chester. Chester was never walked properly with my parents, they took him for runs, so his walk manners were horrible. When we got them after my parents separated (long story) we got lupis for the both of them and now Chester is learing manners. It tugs on their chest without hurting them and teaches them not to pull, we love them. Bobbie who is a terrier does not like hers so much but has gotten used to it and it is so nice to walk her with it.

Cincy is another sotry. she has broken a halti and can also get off a gentle leader. She paws at the constantly no matter what.

I tried a harness and she still pulled horribly. After almost a year of many attempts with differnt techniques and methods, We started her in her third training class last week and at that time decided to try a prong collar. I was sure I was against it, but gave it a shot and she is doing much better. As Doggies said, DO NOT use this unless you have been taught the proper way. I only decided to go to this becuase we have tried everything else and because we were shown how to use and actually allowed to borrow it and try it for a week before we buy it. Cincy has class tonight and I think we are going to go ahead with it. We only sue it when training and if we are walking by other dogs, we put her in a sit stay and change to her regular collar until we get by. I don't want to take any chnces with it.

I forgot to add that most dogs will try to get it off and that is the biggest problem. You must NEVER let your dog get it off then it know it can come off and will continue doing so & try harder harder each time.
it with Rocky when we are walking
in public places, (because he is dog aggressive. )
Sheba who use to pull, never took to the gentle leader.
keep his leash tight enough so his head can not
reach the ground so he doesn't hurt his nose. Than I put him

Acorner of Irvington Avenue and West Fairview Avenue in the business district tomorrow afternoonhe little town of Paradise, Kentucky was the site of McLean Drift Bank, the first commercial coal operation in Kentucky. Coal mining and coal users such as iron furnaces and, later, power plants, quickly grew around the little town. Paradise was eventually partly strip mined, becoming the topic of the famous John Prine song “Paradise.” When the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) enlarged the enormous Paradise Fossil Plant, air pollution became so dangerous that the whole town was bought and bulldozed. Today, the land around the Paradise Steam Plant is a blasted landscape, thousands of acres of pothole lakes and ridges of mine spoil. The TVA is preparing to convert the Paradise Fossil Plant to natural gas and the coal era will come to an end for Paradise.
You might not know this from the local news. Our politicians are busy fighting over who is the best “Friend of Coal” and are trying to convince Kentuckians that coal is the only thing keeping us alive. The “war on coal” exists only in the fevered imaginations of Mitch McConnell and other pols. If there is a war on coal, it is simply market forces at work. Fighting the end of coal is a losing proposition. Legal and political challenges to the new EPA regulations will fail because our very conservative Supreme Court has already instructed the EPA to treat greenhouse gases as a threat to our health and welfare under the Clean Air Act. It would have been better for Congress to pass implementing legislation, but we all know that Congress is presently incapable of accomplishing anything important.
Kentucky has something much more valuable than coal: water. In the Bluegrass, where I have made my home for more than 30 years, water creates our verdant hills, productive farms, sparkling lakes and gentle rivers. It is water that will create our future prosperity.
Global warming will dry out the West and drown the coasts. Businesses, farmers, industries and families will have to seek more suitable climates.

WUmbrella Movement, many people’s thoughts have been turning to the current state of Hong Kong politics. The Umbrella Movement ended in a stalemate: on the one hand the government refused to make the slightest concession to the protesters, but the movement was successful in ensuring that the political reform package proposed by Beijing (but with a strict vetting of candidates by Beijing loyalists) was voted down in June 2015. While then-Chief Executive CY Leung continued to refer to the movement as illegal and to threaten the democrats with an electoral backlash at the 2016 LegCo elections, his strategy at first stalled on both counts. Courts were initially reluctant to follow the government in freedom of assembly cases. The 2016 LegCo elections were a resounding victory for the pro-democracy camp, and a number of post-Umbrella groups were able to send representatives to LegCo.
However, the post-election sequence was disastrous for the pro-democracy camp. The ill-advised idea of several lawmakers to take their oaths accompanied by various theatrics and verbal slurs finally provided the Beijing government with an opening to intervene directly. When the NPC standing committee, in an unprecedented move, adopted an interpretation of the Basic Law, unsolicited by the Hong Kong government or courts, which intervened directly into an ongoing court case, it not only eliminated Yau Wai-ching and Baggio Leung, but also profoundly transformed the nature of LegCo elections. Subsequently, the interpretation served as a basis first to disqualify four other duly elected lawmakers, and then to preemptively eliminate candidates from standing for by-elections. In both cases, the curbing of basic political rights was actively abetted by the Hong Kong Department of Justice, which aggressively prosecuted lawmakers and produced legal arguments to support administrative disqualifications. After six pro-democracy lawmakers had been eliminated in this manner (removing the camp’s veto power), the rules of procedure in LegCo were changed to end filibusters. This sequence has, for all practical purposes, put an end to the chamber’s role as a counter-balance to the government. While the first years after the handover continued to see incremental progress towards more democratic institutions as foreseen in the Basic Law, since Beijing’s White Paper on One Country Two Systems was published in 2014, the movement has been reversed, and the dynamics now point towards an ongoing reduction of the degree of democracy in Hong Kong’s institutions. Political reform is likely to be permanently shelved.
In parallel, the DoJ’s aggressive strategy of appealing judgments seen as too lenient, including by reportedly overruling the Director of Prosecutions (making use of a power that the pro-democracy camp had fought hard to eliminate at the time the Basic Law was adopted), has gradually eroded the judiciary’s resistance to the new legal mindset. Although the Court of Final Appeals ended up overturning the prison sentences in the Civic Square case, it reaffirmed the colonial-era Public Order ordinance and adopted a new standard which tends to place the onus on demonstrators to take preemptive steps to avoid the slightest injury to police during rallies. These were precisely the colonial laws that triggered large-scale protests in the 1970s and 1980s before Chris Patten amended the ordinance, a decision that was reversed by the pro-Beijing provisional LegCo after the handover.
These steps are all in keeping with the re-interpretation ow.
Posters extolling the Greater Bay Area in HK’s MTR
Finally, while many Umbrella Movement participants tend to stress their achievement of bringing about deeper changes in the mindsets of the Hong Kong public, this too has been met by a counter-strategy on behalf of the Hong Kong government and pro-Beijing forces. The extravagant and far-over-budget infrastructure projects (High Speed Rail and HK-Macao Bridge) have been accompanied by a new discourse about integrating Hong Kong into a fuzzy “Greater Bay Area,” in which the city’s problems of lack of space, expensive housing and lack of care for the elderly can finally be solved. In this case too, CY Leung has played a pioneering role, proudly proclaiming his new-found identity as a “Greater Bay Area Person.” Beijing has provided increased administrative convenience for Hong Kong passport-holders in the mainland. While this effort is more subtle than previous attempts to promote national identity, it shares the goal of diluting Hong Kong’s political specificities and further blurring the border between “river water” and “well water” (as Deng Xiaoping once put it). Many legal experts believe the decision to place part of Hong Kong territory under mainland jurisdiction for the increased convenience of a short train ride has no basis in the Basic Law. But it certainly contributes to affirming and making visible Beijing’s “comprehensive jurisdiction.”
Ultimately, these developments raise the question of Hong Kong’s historical trajectory. Today, there is a strong feeling of a return to the political and public order restrictions of the colonial era. Politically critical groups will probably retreat to marginal spaces, as they did under British rule in the 1960s and 1970s. It is surely no coincidence that 2017 saw a rash of critical engagements with the 1967 riots and their aftermath. The growing exclusion of the pro-democracy camp from LegCo may push the opposition to regroup in a dangwai configuration like in Taiwan. Consequently, the momentum that Hong Kong’s civil society built up in the 1980s and 1990s, may be reconfigured as a simple historical parenthesis of 30 years, lasting roughly from the first elected LegCo seats in 1985 until the White Paper of 2014. On the other hand, it is undeniable that Hong Kong society has begun to shake off some of its colonial apathy. Is there then still a chance that the dynamics of decolonization, as claimed by the Umbrella and post-Umbrella movements, can quietly work towards a deeper transformation of society? Can these transformations counteract the powerful dynamics of integration promoted with unlimited resources by the government? This slow race between competing social dynamics is likely to shape the political situation of Hong Kong in the coming years.

I'mChineBefore that I lived in Hong Kong for nine years, doing research (and occasionally some admin). Over time, my interests have shifted from literature to intellectual history and politics. But my approach is still centered on how texts and ideas enter the public sphere, on the social history of political concepts.

At the EHESS, I teach a graduate seminar in intellectual history with changing topics. At the moment, I'm working on a book on Chinese intellectuals today.
Yellowing: Memo for a Generation


On Wednesday, we learned that new home sales in January hit a historic low, dating back nearly half a century. As if that wasn't bad enough, things got worse today with the news that existing January home sales also slumped unexpectedby 7.2% last month from December levels.
Though year-over-year sales improved by 11.4%, the January slide surprised many analysts, who were expecting a slight increase. Why anyone would be surprised is a mystery. With U-6 the unemployment rate at 17%,  And everyone else is afraid they're going to join those ranks.
The most worrisome element is this; if government tax credits (scheduled to expire on April 30) and artificially suppressed
interest rates aren't boosting home sales, what will?
Is it realistic to expect that Americans – who are desperately trying to reduce or get out of debt – will be inspired to buy a home due a tax credit ranging from $6.500 to $8,000? The median home price nationally is $164,700 for existing homes, and $203,500 for new homes. This means that the government tax credit ranges from 4%-5% of the sales price. That's hardly motivational, especially for people worried about their employment prospects.
Reports indicate that many existing homes are being bought by investors who plan to rent or flip them, particularly in the case of foreclosed homes. Distressed or foreclosed homes made up 38% of all sales nationally in January.
All of the government intervention may simply be expediting sales that would have occurred anyway, as in the case of the Cash for Clunkers program. And despite that intervention, the government cannot thwart what is a plainly organic and natural reaction to economic trends.
The issues in both housing and unemployment are equally deep and structural. Neither will rebound any time soon. It is very likely that these problems with will linger, remaining with us for years to come.
Apparently, government intervention cannot overcome the will of the markets, or the rational anxieties of millions of Americans.

UKAS celebrates World Quality Day 2020, featuring Rob Bettinson’s views on this important event.

As the UK’s sole National Accreditation Body, UKAS is proud of the role we play in enabling all our accredited organisations to maintain excellent quality and ensure the quest for continuous improvement delivers even greater value to their customers and end-users of their services.
One of the aims of accreditation is to support and encourage continual improvement, with UKAS helping accredited organisations ensure high quality is maintained through our rigorous and impartial assessment programme. These assessments provide a valuable opportunity for participating organisations to examine and re-examine products, processes and competencieossible.
Innovation is an important aspect of this process as it is vitally important to ensure the best tools and processes are adopted as they are developed and proven.
The constant mission for improvement is embedded at the core of UKAS’ own operation. One of the primary catalysts for improvement is the continuous feedback loop that we maintain with our accredited organisations. By regularly seeking feedback and listening to our customers we can be clear on our strengths, as well as being vigilant to where improvements can be made. We also pay attention to the innovations or additional services that may add value
Agility is something that all accredited bodies need to demonstrate, and the additional challenges of 2020 have proved this point beyond all doubt. This year UKAS had to demonstrate this agility ourselves by rapidly implementing a remote assessment programme that allowed our customers to maintain their accredited status whilst ensuring the marketplace could continue to have confidence in UKAS accredited services.

A condition still quite unfamiliar to many physicians is discussed in this issue of Pediatrics. The disease, called "Vitamin-D-dependent rickets" in the accompanying article, was first segregated from the array of "Vitamin-D-resistant rickets" by Fraser and Salter2 (Type III, A, ii, in their classification), and by Prader and colleagues3 (hereditary pseudo-vitamin-D-deficiency rickets, in their terminology). The condition is characterized by signs and symptoms which appear in the first year of life, and which are easily mistaken for those of severe (Stage III) vitamin D deficiency4. As revealed in typical case reports of the condition3,5, manifestations include muscular weakness, convulsions, severe rickets, growth failure, hypophosphatemia, low or normal total serum calcium, mild renal tubular acidosis, and hyperaminoaciduria.


WSegmentation is one of the key areas in computer vision. Advanced techniques, such as active contour models and active shape models suffer from many drawbacks. An improvement of the two approaches, based in evolution strategies, is presented. Some of its advantages lie in less computational resources and less a priori knowledge required. At the end of the paper, the results of the experiments carried out with the new approach are presented.

Known for his haze-induced lyrics like fellow cohort Curren$y, DZA recognizes this stigma on his letter to the industry, “To Whom It May Concern,” where he pens, “Give ‘em dope lines, they say I only give them smoke rhymes.” Later, he trades bars with Compton prodigy Kendrick Lamar over the soulful backdrop of Surf Club’s Hit Boy on “How Far We Go (Uptown 81),” and sons posers on the menacing “Fuck Is You Talking About,” spitting, “Hijackers, so sad/Call me Father MC, ghost dad.”
The smoke fest continues on “Roll Up, Pour Up,” as George Kush and Houstonian Killa Kyleon wax poetics\ over Taylor Gang producer Cardo’s slow-rolling beat. The aim is for the skies on the Hi-Tek-produced “The Early Days Of George,” before DZA rides shotgun with Big K.R.I.T. on the bouncy “Gotta Get Paid.”
Unfortunately his vision gets a little blurred with the anemic “Loaded,” where Lex Luger’s signature sound does little for DZA’s anemic raps, while “Profit” suffers from simple raps about money and Mary Jane, and the simple beat of “White Papers” does nothing for Devin The Dude’s signature crooning. T.H.C. (The Hustler’s Catalog) is meant to be Smoke DZA’s brochure on higher learning, and though he’s able to score high on some tracks, perhaps his next course will have a more comprehensive lesson plan. —Meka Udoh </s> Rockies 7, Giants 0
Jamie Moyer had another strong outing in his bid to earn a spot in the Colorado Rockies' rotation. The 49-year-old left-hander struck out four in four perfect innings Thursday night to help the Rockies beat a split squad of San Francisco 7-0. Moyer, a 24-year veteran who has won 267 major league games with seven teams, went to a three-ball count only twice and 30 of his 45 pitchers were strikes. ''Was I quick enough for you tonight,'' Ml. '''' Angel Pagan was the only Giants player to make solid contact against him, lining out to center field to start the game. Moyer spent last season as an analyst for ESPNw. He signed with Colorado as a minor-league free agent in January. With his strong spring, which includes giving up just one earned run in nine innings against full squads, Moyer is in the mix for what looks to be three open spots in the Rockies' rotation. A''You ow.'' Overall, it was a good day for the Rockies' uncertain starting pitching. Jerry Guthrie, acquired in a trade with Baltimore during the offseason, worked six innings in a minor league game, giving up one run and striking out six. Guthrie could be the Rockies' opening-day starter, a role he had three times during his five seasons in Baltimore. ''I felt good out there tonight, I kept the ball down in the zone. An overall good outing, 87 pitches and 57 strikes, I'll take that,'' Guthrie said. Former Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer, who signed a three-year deal with Colorado, hit his first spring homer,. N. ... The Giants and Padres lead NL teams with 12 victories. Coming in, the Giants were tops among NL squads in batting (.295) and ERA (3.11). were hoping to get back to winning against the New Jersey Devils Thursday night. But as the game progressed, hope faded quickly and the Bolts struggled offensively once again losing 4-2. With New Jersey leading 1-0 in the second period, Nate Thompson tied it up for the Lightning when Martin St. Louis found him alone in front of then net. However, New Jersey went on to score three unanswered goals including two in the third period after an odd sequence of penalties against Tampa Bay were called. Lightning defenseman Matt Carle would score with 2:15 left in regulation but obviously proved to not be enough. The Lightning managed just 19 shots on goal for the game. Devils’ goaltender Martin Brodeur stopped 17 of those 19 shots. The Tampa Bay Lightning power play has gone sour the past couple games. They were 0-for-4 against Devils. The Lightning are now 6-4-0 with 12 points on the season. Fortunately, they still lead the Southeast division by two points over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Fika involves taking time out to enjoy cake and coffee with friends or family or even alone. It's about slowing down and enjoying a moment in the day, which we think can only be a good thing.
Our favourite baked good to enjoy during fika is the classic cardamom bun. You'll see them everywhere in coffee shops windows from Stockholm to Gothenburg and are enjoyed by Swedes regularly with their daily cup (or three) of filter coffee. We have been so inspired by the Cardamom Bun during our travels to the Scandinavian motherland that we decided to make a flavoured coffee that tastes just like it! We are taking you back to its roots with this awesome Cardamom Bun recipe so you can enjoy the full Scandi experience. It requires a bit of time and love, but it's definitely worth the effort.
Next put the flour, 75g of the sugar, the yeast, cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt into a large bowl. Mix until all of the ingredients are combined. When the milk mixture has cooled, strain it through a sieve into the flour mixture.
Grab a wooden spoon and mix to create a soft dough. Now for the hard work. Role up your sleeves and tip the dough onto a floured work surface. Knead for 10 mins or until until the dough is smooth and stretchy. Clean the bowl and grease with oil. Pop your dough back in the bowl and give it a roll around until it's well covered in oil.
While you're waiting for your dough to rise, crack the remaining cardamom pods. Prise the pods open and collect the seeds. Crush the seeds into a powder and combine with 150g of sugar. In a bowl mix the remaining butter with all but 2 tbsp of the cardamom and sugar mix. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Punch the dough down (you can take out any anger from the day on the poor dough) and roll into a large rectangle roughly 35 x 45cm. Have the longer edge facing you. Spread the cardamom butter over the top making sure it gets right to the edges.
Now for the complicated part. Fold the top third of the rectangle down to the middle and the bottom third up, like an envelope, so you have three layers of dough. Cut into 12 equal strips – these don't have to be super accurate but as close as you can get them. Take a strip and cut down the centre but leave it attached at the top. Repeat this step with all of the strips.
Now for the signature cardamom bun shape. Twist each strip away from the centre two or three times, then tie the dough in a knot and tuck the ends underneath the bun. Pop them on the tray when they're done.
When you have finished this part cover both trays w rise for 30 mins – 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Finally tip the remaining cardamom sugar into a pan and add 50ml of water. Bto cool swirling to dissolve the sugar. Brush the syrup over the buns a couple of times as they cool. This will make them extra yummy!

lot and don’t get into trouble.”
One day Miss Richfamily didn’t show up after school. I waited until it was obvious that she wasn’t
just held up. She wasn’t coming at all. She could have sent a message to me by
calling the school, but she didn’t think that making me wait for her and
stranding me at school (when I could have taken the school bus home) was worth
bothering about. I was pissed off enough
to confront her with this the next day. She didn’t apologize; she gave me some lame excuse. Nowadays, I would zing her between the eyes
with well-placed retorts designed to drive my point of view into her
brain. Back then, though, I was just a
timid, shy kid who couldn’t deal with confrontations. I gave in. I hated myself for it, but I gave in. That didn’t change anything. Sheme, she
decided she was hungry. To her credit,

food. Of course, I said it was okay with
me. What was I supposed to say, “Yes, I
y?” My mother would not have approved. We stopped at the drive-in restaurant, where
she ordered a hamburger and ate it in front of me. She didn’t even offer me a pickle. I either didn’t have any money with me or I
didn’t want to eat before dinner, so I sat and watched her eat. If I had treated her with such rudeness, and my mother had found out, I would have
been chastised up and down for having no class and embarrassing my parents, who
didn’t raise any slobs.
My father was a lively, boisterous Italian-American who had
been born in Italy and raised on Long Island, New York. He met my Mom when he was in the Army Air
Corps during World War II. He had been
sent to Washington State for some training. He and Mom met on a blind date. She took one look at him and didn’t like him. Fortunately for me and my siblings, she
changed her opinion. She quit high
school to marry him, and went to live with his family on Long Island while he
went overseas. Despite her background,
Mom took to Italian family life like a real paesana,
and Dad’s family loved her. After Dad returned
from the war, they moved into their own home, ande
surrounded by a gaggle of Italian aunts, an uncle, cousins, grandparents, family
friends and neighbors. Then my Dad
fought with his Dad and decided to
move himself, my Mom and me back to Mom’s home town, Union Gap, Washington.
Dad was gregarious, friendly, generous, tender hearted and
loud. He had a lot of friends, many of
them drinking buddies. Unfortunately, he
became an alcoholic. When he was sober,
he was a good father. When he was
drinking, he was verbally abusive. That’s
a whole other story for another time.
When we first moved back west, we lived in a tiny
one-bedroom apartment behind my grandfather’s gas station. Mom and Dad had to put me to bed in the
bedroom, so they slept in the living room. There was a kitchen, with room for a small table. Living behind a gas station had its
points. I got to hang out in the gas
station, play with the almost life-sized cardboard cutout of the Philip Morris
bellboy (until I was told to stop doing that because it was there to help Grandpa
sell cigarettes) and watch all the people who came in. They were ordinary people, but I was just a
little kid and I didn’t know that. Sometimes, too, a drunk would come out of the tavern across the street. This was always exciting, especially if the town
cops came by and the drunk was arrested. One time the drunk was a woman. She managed to cross the street and stagger along our side of it until
the cop car pulled up.
Our Police Department consisted of two cops and one
car. Our cops were more like Andy Taylor
and Barney Fife than Briscoe and Logan. Arresting drunks and giving out traffic tickets were the highlights of
their week. Of course, there was the
time a couple of strangers tried to rob Snyder’s Market and Mr. Snyder took
after them with a gun. That was so
exciting that it gave the town something to talk about for weeks afterward. I think our two cops had to get help for that
one from the Police Department in the nearest decent-sized city, Yakima. An attempted robbery where the potential
victim fought back with a firearm was a lot more complicated than giving out
Grandpa’s gas station and our apartment were located across
the main highway, isolated from most of the town. This was hard for me, since I had been used
to being surrounded by relatives, friends and neighbors. I never quite adjusted. Instead, I developed a terminal case of
shyness that lasted all through my childhood and into some of my adult
years. I never had a social life when I
was growing up. Most kids don’t make it
into the most popular clique, but I didn’t make it into ANY clique. Instead, I made friends and had fun with a
couple of the other outcasts, and was happy whenever any other kid would talk
to me. Most of the time they ignored me.
My younger sister was born after the big move, in 1950. Suddenly, I wasn’t getting the attention I was
accustomed to as an only child. I
developed a habit of acting out, which didn’t turn out to be as useful as I
One day, I decided that I was sick because I had a mosquito
bite. I refused to get out of bed,
insisting that I was dying. This went on
until Dad decided to teach me a lesson. He pulled the mattress off the bed and hung it from the clothesline
outside. He must have been pissed off as
hell, because getting a mattress out the back door of a tiny apartment, then
getting it to hang on a clothesline, isn’t easy. He managed to do it, though. I spent the rest of the day sitting in a
chair, staring at the mosquito bite. It
My family wasn’t the Cleavers or the Andersons. The Bundys and the Conners wouldn’t be
introduced to television until much, much later, so we didn’t have any
dysfunctional family role models to compare ourselves with.
My little brother was born in 1953. By this time, I was in First Grade at St.
Joseph’s Elementary School in Yakima. I
was too busy dealing with school bus rides, nuns, other kids and school
subjects to act out over a new addition to the family. I had become resigned to not being the center
of my parents’ universe, anyway.
In First Grade, I was introduced to the 1950s Catholic
school experience. That is a subject for

The woody, bitter herb has long been relegated to cookies and brownies to mask the flavor while delivering on the high. You might choke some sweets down to get baked, but often, the methods that helped extract the THC in the edible make the end product pretty inedible.
To incorporate the chemicals that make you feel good from pot into food or drinks, you need to take two steps. The first step is to “decarboxylate,” which means using heat to unlock the drug’s psychoactive effects. Then, you have to infuse that weed into either fat or alcohol (unlike the caffeine in coffee or tea, it isn’t water soluble).
There are a couple ways to do this. Cirino recommends lightly roasting the pot in a 325-degree oven for six to eight minutes, or putting it in a mason jar in a pressure cooker for about 25 minutes at pressure. Using a whipped cream canister, he makes an alcohol infusion with high-proof vodka and the toasted pot, injecting it with nitrogen gas to infuse and letting it sit for about 10 minutes, then straining it after with an AeroPress coffee maker. The end result is a tincture that can be added to cocktails, coffee or applied to food.
Don't ruin your butter.
An infused oil isn’t something you want to sauté with – you’ll waste a lot and the results will be inconsistent. Use it as a last minute addition to sauces and something that you add with precision.
Given that strains vary wildly in intensity and it’s hard to know what you are getting, be sure to do some testing before throwing any parties, and keep in mind the tolerance of the people you are feeding — a regular medicinal user and a dabbler shouldn’t consume the same amounts.
Cirino uses the metaphors of drinking a cup of coffee or a cocktail for consuming cannabis, and his dosages are a whole lot less than you would find with medicinal edibles — think of a little lift to help you through an afternoon of working writing code or to relax a bit rather than full-on couchlock.
For “coffee strength,” he recommends 1 gram of pot for every 30-50 grams of solvent. Stronger “cocktail strength” (about three puffs on a joint) is 1 gram for every 20-25 grams of solvent. A typical dosage per person would be .5 milliliters of oil or tincture.
Remember, you’re going to have to digest the food before you feel an effect, so give it time. For an extended effect, try one dose and then another 90 to 120 minutes later.

Yes! If an owner uses their own trusted contractor/vendor, RPM will make a note in the portfolio to contact them first for maintenance orders. If the property is vacant, owners can handle the repairs to ensure their property is ready for a tenant. Our preference is to use our vendors to oversee the commitment to deadlines as we work with them regularly and have come to know what to expect when using their services.


The line is clearer when it comes to people who are neat and people who are not—at least according to the internet. "Organized People Are Probably Better Than Disorganized People" claims a headline on Huffington Post (Canadian edition, so there's that). People with tidy desk spaces may tend to be more ethical, better at time management, and more capable at dealing with unexpected roadblocks in their work—you know, the boring stuff—as well as are more likely to give to charity and eat a healthy diet. For the purpose of the rest of this essay, we will refer to these as "good habits."
Every January, every spring, and every September I resolve to be neater. I'll get myself a planner, or a letter tray, or download some app that I promise to use religiously to instill some order in my life. Whatever I do, it never sticks, and I'm starting to worry—isn't the definition of crazinesthat never comes?
