Product Description

Touratech Aventuro Carbon Helmet
Touratech has set a new standard for adventure touring comfort with the Aventuro Carbon helmet. This lightweight, carbon fiber helmet is comfortable, features a No-Drag Visor, and easily transforms between street, dual-sport and dirt configurations. While there is no shortage of helmet options on the market, there are surprisingly few good choices for the ADV touring crowd. Some of the most popular adventure touring helmets are heavy, generate excessive wind noise and are limited to just one configuration. Because of these limitations, Touratech has set out to make the ultimate helmet for adventure touring.

We started with weight. Let's face it, ADV riding and distance touring means hours in the saddle and riding with a heavy helmet takes its toll on your neck and shoulders contributing to fatigue. Touratech has used strong but lightweight carbon fiber to create a helmet that weighs approximately a half pound less than most of the popular dual-sport models.

No-Drag Visor
The visors on most helmets tend to grab passing air, which limits your range of motion and puts strain on your neck. The Aventuro Carbon's No-Drag Visor is designed with massive ports that allow air-flow to pass through the base of the visor. Like a pressure release valve, it dumps air to reduce pull on the head reducing strain and maximizing rider comfort. In sunny situations, the tip of the visor can be extended with a quick pull on its adjustable end. The Aventuro Carbon has been sculpted to cut through the wind with less turbulence and noise for the rider.

3 Modes - No Tools
Like a Transformer, the Aventuro Carbon helmet can be converted between street, dual-sport, and off-road modes on the fly with no tools. The visor can be removed for a long ride on the tarmac and installed quickly for a few days of riding adventurous roads in the mountains. The shield can also be removed completely to accommodate goggles for dusty riding or full-blown, off-road racing. Whether it's a street bike day, adventure ride or single-track weekend in the woods, the Aventuro Carbon can do it all in light-weight comfort while providing the highest levels of protection.

No Fogging
Whether it’s from the driving rain or the difficult terrain has you steaming - a fogged lens is bad news. Touratech has eliminated this problem by including a Pin-Lock shield and clear Pin-Lock insert with each Aventuro Helmet. Just like ski goggles, the Pin-Lock shield and insert creates a double lens that dramatically reduces the chances of a fogged lens. Some helmet manufacturers sell Pin-Lock as an add-on, Touratech includes it.

Key features:
-Crafted from lightweight carbon fiber for increased rider comfort
-No-drag airflow visor reduces wind grab and strain on neck & body
-Transforms between street, dual-sport, and dirt configurations with no tools

HDPE and PP recycling

As for PET post-consumer bottles, recycling of HDPE and PP bottles, containers and thermoforms is becoming particularly interesting and represents another important section of the recycling market. A wide variety of final products and applications may derive, with interesting and remunerable financial returns on investment for recycling companies. As in the case of PET, the quality and conditions of collected HDPE and PP wastes vary significantly from country to country, but also within the same country. In many cases, the quality of the collected material can be very low. It is necessary for HDPE-PP recycling technologies to becontinuously updated and technical solutions must be provided to correctly process the most difficult and contaminated materials while reaching the best final quality. Silver Python ‘s worldwide experience in the field of recycling is a guarantee of its capability of providing its customers with customized and accurate technical solutions with the state-of-the art recycling technologies. We are prepared to correctly respond in every moment to the ever-changing needs and conditions of our customers and of the market. For specific projects, Silver Python can offer turn-key solutions and give its customer full-optional engineering services including, for instance, waste water treatments.
HDPE-PP recycling lines Considering its long experience in the field of HDPE recycling, Silver Python can rely on the most performing recycling technology and on a recognized know-how for assuring the best quality r-HDPE flakes. Most of the worst contaminants are eliminated in an early step of the HDPE recycling plants. Thanks to the accurate and efficient pre-washing and washing systems developed by Silver Python, R-HDPE flakes coming out of Silver Python HDPE recycling plants can be almost compared to virgin HDPE resin.
The HDPE and PET washing processes have very strong similarities. This allows Silver Python to realize both HDPE washing lines dedicated only and specifically to HDPE-PP recycling machines and systems integrating HDPE-PP and PET washing. Specific devices are included in the washing lines based on the materials to be treated.

[Linrad] Re: SDR-IQ Birdies - the Solution

2009/10/18 VK2KU <

I could clean up the lid easily, but cleaning up the box is another
I was worried about paint and other chips of stuff getting into the
fine circuit board.
I guess I could take the whole board out, but cleaning up the screws
was just easier.

I lost my way back here because I have to admit that this forum is not one of the most active in my listings. ;-)

OK, so today I decided to improve the connection between the upper and lower parts of my SDR-IQ.  I took apart the case of my SDR-IQ and soon realised that I could do a lot without any problems of scattering material over the PCB.

The first thing I did was to use a small file (I would have used a dremel but I could not remember where I had put it) to expose the metal around the various screw holes inside the upper box lid.

Then I looked at the lower casing.  Most of the screw fixings are on the other side of large metal walls.  So careful filing exposes metal around most of the screw holes.

The two  screw holes at the front of the lower case do need a bit more care, so I put a stiff card under the lip and then filed the paint away for those holes as well.  Removing the filings carefully from under the lip of the case.  I also filed the two lugs that the two back screws mate with to increase the metal to metal contact.

Unfortunately, once the case is put back together there is no obvious way to confirm connections but I will look out for any VHF Birdies in future.

I did consider smearing some copper based connection cream onto the exposed panels.  However, I do know that Aluminum and Copper don't get on well but as most Amateur Radio stations are either short lived, or replace connections regularly, this may not be a problem...

Re: Piping audio from Linrad to other applications?

> Have a look here: http://jackaudio.org/

Yes, I have used JACK a bit with my home recording, and it is the tool
for the job and works well. But to use it, the applications have to be
JACK compliant and connect to the daemon rather than the sound card

I assume Linrad uses OSS for its audio I/O? I see there is an
application called oss2jack, which hopefully provides a layer to allow
an oss application to use the JACK server. Installation looks like a
bit of a journey, but hey, this is Linux. I suspect this functionality
is available directly in ALSA as well, but it is a long road to
decifer the .asoundrc syntax, at least for me.

> I suggest you use head-phones. Then any cheap soundcard should
> be perfectly adequate for listening:-)

The real problem is more about the poor IMD characteristics of this
internal sound, and the dismal noise floor. I am looking at the Echo
Indigo I/O PCMCIA for better sound. But already I am impressed at how
the SDR makes for a real difference in tuning and searching for
signals on 40M. Watching the pileup last night on VP6DX was
entertaining :)

Sup, I'm Hannah, a comic fanatic and animation student from the UK! I mainly do Nuzlocke runs (that I rarely complete lol) and occasionally, a fan comic. I also run a slice of life comic about my university adventures on tapastic!

The truth hurts...
But Pink's gotta hear it if she's going to become a better person. Sometimes the best thing to do is listen, apologise, reflect, and learn from your mistakes.
This is some heavy stuff... Pink considers herself a selfless, loving gem but as a matter of fact she's very selfish. It's hard owning up to your flaws, but when someone calls you out, you gotta listen to them. This is a learning curve for Pink, being called out for her selfishness by the gem she loves.
Poor Pearl...
I wanted to parallel Pearl's hand gestures in Rose's Scabbard because I like the idea that Rose and Pearl learned a lot of different behaviours off of each other, both from their diamond/pearl conditioning and also out of genuine love and appreciation of each other.
Oh, Pink...
You SHOULD NOT proclaim your love for someone in the middle of an argument, especially if you're in the wrong and are getting called out for jerk behaviour. Don't try and change the subject.
She's... not going to survive this scolding. But she needs to hear it if she's ever going to grow.
Pearl's about to rip Pink a new one!! You tell her Pearl!!!
That look...
Pearl solidarity is one of my favourite tropes. Don't you worry, Pip. You won't be forgotten by Pearl.
I'm scared...
Why are you making that face, Pink...
Pip is too cute for this world.
She certainly doesn't deserve being created for the sole purpose of Pink to experiment. Poor bab.
Pink... REALLY needs to think about the long term effects of doing this stuff before she acts. Poor Pearl...
Pip (Pink Pearl) is a pearl oc I created especially for this comic. But I ended up getting really attached to her and there's like, a whole shipping aspect with her and Pearl on my blog now...

More Pip art can be found here:
just for the record...
ordering another pearl when you're in love with Pearl is like,, a VERY bad idea 0/10 do not recommend
i decided to upload the first page...
...just because i didn't want to lose interest with just a cover page lol. from now on i'm doing a schedule. pages will be posted on tuesdays and fridays!
a new webcomic!!
Don't panic, this one is close to being completed on my tumblr and has a decent buffer so I should actually complete it lmao.

Welcome to my new oneshot comic, A Love Theory. This is a story I wanted to explore ever since first watching A Single Pale Rose. Knowing that Pearl now was actually Pink Diamond’s pearl, I had to wonder about the possibility of her ever… pulling a stunt like this. I’d like to say that this is a CHARACTER STUDY. I don’t condone the actions of Pink in this comic, but I also don’t believe that she is evil - rather, she is young, naive, extremely selfish, and doesn’t think her actions through.

This can also be read on my art blog:
I should be updating weekly, but if you can't wait you can read the first 15 pages there!
Hi. I never got to even finishing the first chapter even though I had like five planned lmao. Life got in the way, my interest in this comic fluctuated a lot, and I was struggling with my art. I've grown a lot since the last time I posted an actual comic page here, but I still don't think I'm going to finish Origins. Especially after A Single Pale Rose aired.

So what now?

Well, I've started making comics again, after this episode aired. It's crazy, it's like it just sparked some new inspiration in me for fan comics again. I have two so far, one about the immediate aftermath of the shattering, and one about Pink Diamond learning about love. I have a lot more ideas too. I'm debating over whether to add them onto this comic as extra chapters, or to start a new comic just to post any Steven Universe comics I make in the future. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.
i'd like to apologise for the length of this first of all...
I've been reading this comic on and off since you first started uploading it on smackjeeves but I think this is the first time I've commented??
I feel so silly for that! This comic is gorgeous! Your art style is beautiful to look at, the balance between humour and drama is great, and oh god, I love everyone's dynamics so much! Des is a great protag, and I think it's the first time I've seen a nonbinary/genderfluid protag in a nuzlocke run, so it really made me happy!
I have to say Green is my current favourite, though. There are several panels where I've buried my head in my hands and gone oh my god he's so taken by Red!! Being gay myself I love seeing their rivalry/relationship slowly budding in this comic. And their fashion is on point, too.
All in all, I regret tuning out of this comic for a while, because in under an hour you've pulled me right back in again! I'm sorry for the length of this, but I adore it! It makes me want to start up my own pokemon comic again... maybe I will after inktober! You gave me some amazing world building inspiration, so thank you for sharing this comic on here!
Launching a new youtube channel!
Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while! My course is really tough but I've made it through first year! Now I have more free time I am super close to being finished with the first chapter, and I'll keep going (provided the show doesn't reveal Pearl's backstory first). I think I churn out better quality stuff a lot faster with the experience of being an animation student so I've been setting up an art youtube account, for speed paints, animation tests and art challenges. I'll also be showing comic pages, although probably for my original stuff rather than Origins (maybe I'll do those on my Patreon once I get it set up, though).

Anyway, so many apologies for being so slow with updates!! I love you all who still read this, I promise pages will start appearing again soon!

RosePearl speedpaint:
Thank you for 100+ readers!!
It means a whole lot to me! I'm hoping to get comics churned out a little faster in the next couple of months because the recent stevenbomb has got the inspiration going again for me. I drew this up for Femslash February but also holy shit over 100 of you care about my comic, that's amazing! Thank you so much!

Anyway, this was supposed to look romantic and dramatic, like a poster for a space opera or something. Starcrossed lovers... worlds apart... can't keep their love under wraps... stay tuned for more hot rose quartz on pearl action...

Smokefree DC urges D.C. Council to regulate e-cigarettes

Smoke from an e-cig

Little did I know when I testified before the D.C. Committee on Health this week about the need to regulate e-cigarettes that I was sitting next to a convicted felon.

Bruce Bereano, representing the Maryland Association of Tobacco and Candy Distributors, sat next to me on the first panel. He was pompous and pugnacious, and he made some absolutely ludicrous statements.

(Earlier this year, Bereano lost an attempt to overturn his 1994 fraud conviction. He falsely billed clients, then gave the money to politicians via his political action committee. He was sentenced to five months in prison and five months in home detention, and was fined $30,000. Despite this, and the fact that he was stripped of his law license, he is still considered a powerful lobbyist in Annapolis. Go figure.)

The bill we were there to speak about was the Electronic Cigarette Parity Amendment Act of 2013 (B20-233), introduced by Councilmembers Yvette Alexander (D-Ward 7) and David Grosso (D-At-Large). The idea is to treat e-cigarettes like other tobacco products – restrict their sales to minors, ensure they won’t be used in smokefree areas and so forth. It’s a great idea, and we applaud Alexander and Grosso for introducing it.

In my testimony, I made three points: The health effects on nonsmokers of the vapor emitted by e-cigarettes are unknown; e-cigarette use in smokefree venues will cause confusion and could weaken the city’s very popular and effective smokefree workplace law; and e-cigarettes are being regulated by other jurisdictions throughout the country.

Bereano and I both agreed on one thing: the jury is still out as to what’s in the visible vapor emitted by e-cigarettes. That’s about all we agreed on. He and other e-cigarette proponents think that if e-cigarettes haven’t been proven unsafe, then they should be permitted everywhere.

That’s just wrong.

Smokefree DC urges the Council to follow the precautionary principle, which says that something shouldn’t be unleashed on the public until it has been proven safe. Why make people into guinea pigs? It’s not a good idea.

We do know that in 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about e-cigarettes, saying that a laboratory analysis found they contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals including diethylene glycol, which is found in antifreeze. The agency said that it “is concerned about the safety of these products.”

The second point I made in my testimony is that e-cigarette use in smokefree areas will cause confusion over whether smoking is or isn’t allowed. The tobacco industry calls it “vapor,” but it looks like cigarette smoke and smells like it as well. As I told the committee, if someone pulls out something that looks like a cigarette, puts it in their mouth, and something that looks like smoke comes out of their mouth, then it will appear that the person is smoking a cigarette.

The FDA is still figuring out whether and how to regulate e-cigarettes. In the meantime, policymakers throughout the country are beginning to restrict their use.

You can read more about Thursday hearing in this Washington Post story.

Unfortunately, Alexander said at the end of the hearing that she is going to wait for the FDA to act before pressing forward with her bill.

We hope she changes her mind. The measure should be implemented before e-cigarette use becomes a problem.

Relationship Media: CRM through Social Media

February 28, 2014 | By | No Comments

There are many pros for businesses that implement CRM through social media. It is becoming a preferred way to communicate and resolve many issues. When social media kicked off almost a decade ago (yes, it’s been that long!), it was the new darling of the media set. Well, now that the business world has evolved and integrated social media into customer service, sales, marketing and all of the other business lines, it’s time to call it what it really is: Relationship Media.

Humans has been communicating since the beginning of time. We’ve gone from hieroglyphics on a cave wall to smoke signals, telegraphs and telephones to smartphones. With social connecting us in ways beyond what many initially imagined, it has completely changed the way businesses build relationships, maintain the relationships that already exist, and respond to incoming communications that should be addressed.

42% of users on Twitter expect a response to their customer service issue in under an hour.

While some may be intimidated about jumping into the social swimming pool to bring awareness to their business, it might help to take learn from these perspectives: the way we communicate simply changes “channels” over time, but the age old rules of building and maintaining relationships never does.

Think about Shakespeare. His plays were one of the first “social media” events. People gathered at the Globe and actors played their parts on stage about the human condition. What’s great about social networking is now there is interplay between actor and audience and audience now also becomes…actor!

So, what does this all mean?

All the world’s a stage and social is just one way to “play your part.” If you own a business, you naturally have a voice that should be heard and is of interest to others within your industry. Start small and comment on other topics of interest to you and those that impact your business. If you have the “jump-in jitters” grab a business friend, explore together and discover content that can be shared in a Google Hangout or on your Facebook business wall. You’ll soon find you’re attracting prospects and influencers, all while having fun!

Just remember – it’s about the journey – so enjoy it and take others along with you for the ride. We’re all in this together and the basis for all business is relationship building. Take a piece of the social pie but be sure to leave some for others. It’s the new way of creating something bigger than ourselves and leaving a legacy for the future – however they may communicate years from now.

TJ - TURBOJET® is the combination of mechanical mixing and jet grouting and it is an important development of the Soil Mixing Technology allowing the construction of such consolidated structures in a fast and cost effective way, with high quality standards.

The method is based on the use of a mechanical tool, equipped with blades and jetting nozzles, to construct a column of consolidated soil. During the drilling phase, the cement-based grout is ejected at high speed through the nozzles to break up the soil, which is then mixed by the blades. This technology allows columns to have the same mechanical strength and diameter as the ones obtained using other soil mixing systems, but in a faster and cheaper way, making it highly competitive.

• No “horizontal hydro fracturing (claquage)”
• Less spoil on surface
• Good mixing quality also in plastic clay
• Precise diameter and extreme verticality
• High production rate

Technical data

• Columns diameter: 600 to 2400 mm
• Columns depth: over to 33 m depending on soil diameter and consistency.

broccoli rice –

Broccoli Rice with Lentils -

Always on the hunt for new way recipes! Especially the healthy, fresh and packed with veggies! As you could read here, I have a personal diet plan with high and low carb days, with I explain here. On low carb days I don’t eat rice, potatoes, wraps, pasta or any of those. But.. the struggle here might be that you miss some volume in the meal. I posted low carb recipes before, like the courgetti pasta, easy salad and cauliflower rice. This last one is such a good one, because you can make a lot of different variations on the recipe. Why not substitute the cauliflower for broccoli!

Broccoli Rice with Lentils - Soophisticated.comEASY & PERFECT ON THE GO

As I cheer for easy cooking, this recipe is also so so simple! I didn’t cook/bake the broccoli, so that part is cold. I like it that way, because it has a bit of a bite! Also very easy to take with you as lunch on the go! When you do food prepping, you might experienced that veggies might loose the crunch because they were cooked/baked and cooled down. Because you eat this raw, it will still have it’s bite! This recipe is without meat or fish, but with lentils for some protein! But you can go crazy and think off a million ways to variate with broccoli rice!

Broccoli Rice with Lentils -

For one person you need:

✚  small sized broccoli
✚  about 100 grams of lentils
✚  handful of mushrooms
✚  1/2 red union
✚  pecan nuts
✚  lemon juice
✚  coconut oil
✚  pepper/salt

How it’s done:

Grind the brocolli in a food processor with some lemon juice (quantity to your own likings), peper and salt. Add the lentils with the brocolli. Chop the mushrooms in quarters and bake in coconut oil. Bake the red union along with the mushrooms for the last minute. Plate it all up. I had some pecan nuts and added them for a bit of a bite.

Time to share my favorite tool to edit photos on my phone! When I take pictures with my iPhone, instead of the camera, I like to edit them right on the spot. No photoshop needed, because VSCOcam has all filters and options you’d like! Let me state that this is not a sponsored post, but just a fan speaking.

VSCO is my all time favorite. A lot of beautiful filters + a lot of different settings to change. What I love most about VSCO? 1) The amount of filters and pre-sets. 2) It’s super easy and user friendly. 3) You can save your favorite routines, so you can easily copy-paste them onto your next photos. This way your feed has the same style and colour setting.

VSCO Cam, my routine

What’s my to-go routine?
– Choose filter. I often go for HB1 or HB2.
– Alter the intensity of the filter, this depends on the light/setting of the original photo.
– Adjust brightness. I always go for extra light.
– Adjust contrast.
– Adjust temperature. I love cool temperatures over warm ones.
Sometimes I play with the saturation too, but it totally depends on the photo itself.

Are you using VSCO yourself? What do you think?

Millionaire Milestone

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

THE other day – well, somewhere between January 22 and 23 GMT – the visitor counter for Someone Once Told me clicked past 1,000,000. I’ve taken a belated screenshot today (January 26) of part of the site stats and posted it here.

For quite a long time I’ve been staring at that particular figure, punching in the digits from September 8, 2007 when the site went fully live, to see what the running total of visits was. The big prize was to eventually get up to 1m, and now it’s been achieved I feel something of a sense of relief, and pride, and great pleasure that so many people have contributed to the SOTM idea, by either visiting the site or contributing an image.

The figure of 8.3m page views, one which rises regularly, is rather bloody marvellous too, and testimony to how much interest is generated by the things other people have been told around the world, some of which are on display on the site – more than 1,200 and rising daily.

I have been idly wondering of late how I might wind SOTM up one day, how best I can ever provide an exit from it, not because I don’t love it utterly and wholeheartedly, but because I’m always wracked with doubt about how many images I can possibly get, and how long can it all go on for before things just grind to a halt.

Well, stats like the one posted above make me believe that the SOTM adventure has a little while longer to go yet.

Thanks to everyone who’s ever visited the site – now for the next 1m hits.

7/25/2013 Tennessee Civil War Notes

        25,  1861 - A note of thanks to the Southern Mothers

To the Southern Mothers.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude, I take great pleasure in bearing testimony to your motherly care, extended to the sick whom I recently brought to your rooms. Your noble deeds elicit my admiration. Be assured that your noble acts in the cause of freedom and humanity, will place your name in high esteem. You will be cited to daughters of succeeding generations, as examples of greatness and goodness worthy their imitation. Go on in your good work; you will cheer the suffering soldier, who is so unfortunate as to be taken sick, in camp, far from home. More especially let me express my unbounded thanks to Mrs. Mary E. Pope, secretary of the society, for her motherly care extended to Messrs. Barham and Bell, whom she so willingly and kindly took to her own private residence. Long may she live as a bright star of greatness and goodness, to nerve the brave soldier on to "victory or death." In memory's recesses will she ever live, as a kind and good mother.

Dear mothers, I wish you success and long life; you are exerting an influence that will animate and encourage all of us who have left our homes and firesides, that we may protect you and your daughters, or die in the attempt.

Hoping, should I become sick, that I may fall into your safe hands, I beg you to accept my most grateful remembrance.

BOLIVAR, July 25, 1862.

The cotton speculators are quite clamorous for aid in getting their cotton away from Middleburg, Hickory Valley, &c., and offer to pay liberally for the service. I think I can bring it away with safety, and make it pay to the Government. As some of the Jew owners have as good as stolen the cotton from the planters, I have no conscientious scruples in making them pay liberally for getting it away.

GENERAL ORDERS, HDQRS. DEPT. OF THE CUMBERLAND, No. 174. Winchester, Tenn., July 25, 1863.

I. In order to prevent the disorganization of the army its officers being picked off by the enemy's sharpshooters, the following badges of rank are recommended and permitted to be worn as undress uniform in all portions of this army when serving in the immediate vicinity of the enemy: Officers of all grades are authorized to wear single-breasted blouses directed in the Army Regulations, for the badges of rank worn on the epaulette. The rectangle of the shoulder-strap being too conspicuous on the field of battle, need not be worn. Second lieutenants will wear a single bar on the right shoulder only.

II. No private horses will be sent beyond the limits of the department without a special permit from the provost-marshal-general.

....the Yankees are getting pretty close. There were two Mr. Bakers [sic] at Mrs. Wms.' [sic] getting away from what they called the Bushwhackers. From all I can learn it is a part of Stokes' regt. [sic] who have got in there by some means and are after the Southern soldiers, &c., and being away from the Generals, they do as the Southern soldiers do a great many times, take revenge on those who happen to be of the opposite party. There are great tales told of what they are doing, but I have not heard of anything yet half as bad as Jack Ber[r]y's [sic] capers, who belongs to Hamilton's command,[1] nor even as bad as some of the recruiting officers and men done. [sic] The truth is each side, when it gets a little the advantage and gets of the opposite party trodden down a little, crows a little too big, and when the trodden party gets a chance to, [it] retaliates rather severely.

Marist holds on to shield

IT didn’t take long for the prospect of three in a row to be raised on Saturday.

The Marist Rugby Club created history on Saturday at Rugby Park in Invercargill when it made it back-to-back Galbraith Shield titles through a convincing 38-13 win over Pirates-Old Boys in the 2018 premier club rugby decider.

It was the seventh time the club had etched its name on the Galbraith Shield and the first time it had won the prized trophy in consecutive years.

So can the Marist juggernaut make it three in a row when the 2019 season rolls around?

“Someone has already mentioned that,” Marist captain Scott Eade said soon after the game.

“I guess when we celebrate over summer and we mull over what we are going to do that will be the next challenge.”

Coach Marty Smith, who has been at the helm for the two Galbraith Shield victories, has confirmed he would be back for another shot next year.

For the moment, though, it is about reflecting on a play-off performance which left little doubt as to who ruled the roost in Southland premier club rugby circles.

First Marist crushed Blues 41-0 in semi-final action before again doing the business in the 25-point win over Pirates-Old Boys.

“We are going to enjoy it now. We’ve been together since February, we had our first game at the end of March, and now we are celebrating,” Smith said.

Smith didn’t believe the final showing was Marist’s most polished performance, but he said his players stood up when it was required.

“The great thing about [the final], we scored a try in the corner, and we touched on it during the week, the way we trained all year with our tips, our goals, our defence pattern, our structure, everyone of the guys knew their job. That makes it easier and really satisfying,” Smith said.

“Last week I think we played better. This week we dropped a lot of ball and we kept Pirates-Old Boys in the game through our little mistakes.

“Defensively we were sound – they broke us through an intercept, which hurts,” Smith said.

Eade paid tribute to the large Marist support crew at Saturday’s final and said that again provided plenty of motivation.

“The most special thing is to see the looks on our supporters’ faces. Obviously we’ve got a great group of supporters with those older fellas and to see the look in their eyes to see what it means to them,” Eade said.

While Southland’s premier club rugby competition has been put to bed for another year, it is crunch time in the lower divisions this Saturday.

Wyndham will host Edendale in the division one final, while in section A of the division two competition Blues B and Star B will square off. In section B Tokanui will take on Drummond-Limehills-Star, while there will be plenty of interest in the division three final between Otautau and Bluff.

A Note from Dr Ooi

Hi, thank you for visiting my website. We present to you an introduction to our clinic and the services we offer. Please browse around and drop us an enquiry if you have any questions at all.

The main reason I started my own private practice is my desire to devote more time to each patient, a luxury I did not have in institutional practice. In a specialty like Cardiology where symptoms like chest pain can be the first sign of a serious underlying heart condition, I find it vitally important that your condition be expertly evaluated and managed. Your condition must also be fully explained to you and your questions satisfactorily answered.

I understand that the patient's time is also precious in this busy world. To cut down waiting time in between tests and reduce the number of clinic visits, we have available in the clinic on-site finger-prick blood testing and cardiac investigations such as ECG, treadmill and echocardiogram. You can consult, undergo tests and receive results, all within the same day. I will then guide you to make a well-informed decision for your health based on your values, preferences and beliefs.

This is how I envision Sozo Cardiology to be: A warm and welcoming clinic where patients are treated with dignity and respect, given rapid access to quality diagnostic testing and where cutting-edge medical treatment is administered in partnership with an informed patient and his family.

We look forward to welcoming you here.

Back in the days, when I was in school, if you read comic books you were a huge nerd. I was one of them. It was the early 90’s and the X-Men was a big hit among super heroes with fascinating stories, captivating plots, a whole new universe that easily caught my attention. Then the 21st century came and what we have been witnessing since then is an invasion of super heroes and just like that, we are all nerds and that is cool. What very few people realize is that comic book characters have a gigantic social load underneath their skins, full of behavioral issues, health issues, political issues and also linguistic issues.

Let’s take Marvel’s big hit ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ as an example. There is this tree-like super hero called Groot whose linguistic competence is limited to and only to this sentence “I am Groot” in this exact order. Which means that whatever a person asks him, tells him, he will utter “I am Groot” and this reminds me of a very serious impairment called aphasia, more precisely, Wernicke’s aphasia. I am far from being a medical doctor, but for those who are getting in touch with this term for the first time, Wernicke’s aphasia is an impairment as a result of a vascular accident or a severe brain injury on the posterior temporal lobe of the left hemisphere of the brain thus interfering speech production. This type of aphasia makes their patients provide utterances that do not provide any continuity to the conversation, although for patients with aphasia (PWAs) they sound themselves absolutely fine, as if their response was pragmatically acceptable for the conversation. Using the example of the film mentioned above we can notice the question in (1) and Groot’s response in (2).

(1) Where did you learn to do that?

(2) I am Groot.

Considering the pragmatic perspective of a dialogue, one needs to use linguistic data that is shared with the interlocutor so that a conversation happens. In (1) we can notice the desire of the speaker for some information that is not provided accordingly given the response does not fulfill the speaker’s request. However, intention is a linguistic feature that has been revisited in the works by Austin (Rajagopalan, 2010) thus the notion of constative utterances tend to be very strict and the performative ones tend to be more frequent which means that whenever a person utters there is always a purpose and an intention. Having understood that, it is possible to study the productions of PWAs, more precisely patients with Wernicke’s aphasia, and investigate the possibility of a locutionary act in their speech. There are some studies that indicate a trace of intention in their speech. Murteira & Santos (2013) state that some PWAs paraphrase in certain situations which may be an evidence of understanding even though their utterances may sometimes stall the entire conversation. If a thorough study brings to surface the hypothesis of a trace of intention, then a linguist can implement some tasks in order to rebuild PWAs speech.

By Hadrien J. Rambach

After meeting in London in 2005, by chance and for a few minutes only, an epistolary relationship developed between George La Borde and myself. It took several years before we met in person again, but visiting him and his wife in Calgary has since become a regular pleasure for my wife and myself. I have been very privileged, over the past decade, to assist him in forming his coin collection.

By John Kraljevich, Numismatic Consultant

Just as history is always more intricate and intense as it is being lived than it seems in retrospect, assembling a collection like this one is a more complex endeavor than a neatly organized auction catalog containing 63 superb coins may make it seem. While the coins acquired by D. Brent Pogue and his father Mack fill this catalog, the fourth in a series, what’s not included perhaps defines the Pogue Collection as much as what is included. Nowhere on the pages to follow will there be evidence of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of auction catalogs that were scanned and set aside after discovering they offered no coin important enough to add to this collection.

Charles Emanuel Revtyak (b. 1904 d. 1957) of Coaldale City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania was a collector and a student of U.S. numismatics who taught art and coached football at Coaldale High School. Although he sold gold coins as an adult to support his family during the Great Depression, he continued to amass notable collections of large and small cents, Shield, Liberty Head, Buffalo and Jefferson nickels, among many other series.

In July 2015 we had the pleasure of presenting for sale the Twin Leaf Collection, then the finest collection of Middle and Late Date large cents. The coins had been assembled over two decades by a collector who sought completion but was driven to buy many of the finest coins that became available along the way. As a result, the collection included many Condition Census pieces, as well as coins with impressive provenance. While most cent collectors would be satisfied to acquire one example of each variety, here we have a collector who stopped at nothing to acquire every Proof available, including duplicates, and worked to assemble representatives of the varying die states as well as the Newcomb numbers

By Aris Maragoudakis, Currency Specialist

We have recently finalized our February Rarities Auction. The lots are now listed online and are available for viewing! From scarce high grade Obsoletes, to high denomination large-size Federal Reserve notes, to rare National Bank notes, we are aiming to have all the currency bases covered. In addition, as Lot #46, we are featuring a very special error note: a Fr. 1960-J 1934d $5/$10 Double Denomination note graded 65PPQ by PCGS Currency.

Including Important Items Relating to the Career of Commanding General of the United States Army Alexander Macomb (1782-1841)

Stack’s Bowers Galleries is pleased to offer several items from the recent sale of the extensive holdings of the Swiss noble family Grand d’Hauteville. The family’s holdings were kept at Chateau d’Hauteville, a castle in the municipality of Saint-Légier-La Chiésaz, Canton Vaud, Switzerland. Included are several important items relating to the career of Alexander Macomb, “The Hero of Plattsburgh,” who in 1828 rose to the position of Commanding General of the United States Army.

By Bruce Walker, Numismatist & Cataloger

The Lennart Philipson Collection of Swedish coinage, one of the anchor consignments at our upcoming January 2016 NYINC auction, represents a near lifetime achievement dedicated to the memory of Thor Bäckström, the grandfather of Mr. Philipson. As is so often the case with numismatics, Thor Bäckström’s avid interest in coins served as the inspiration for a collection that eventually blossomed into a comprehensive type set dating from the 16th century forward.

Crossing the block as part of the December Hong Kong auction, we are pleased to offer space collectibles from the ‘Shenzhou 1. These items were stored in the cabin of and traveled into space aboard ‘Shenzhou 1’, China’s first space ship in 1999. Returning to the Earth from space, each piece was examined and certified by The People’s Republic of China Beijing Notary Office.”

What Everyone Is Saying About Horses

In addition, there are some fantastic tips in assisting you to locate a horse, you only need to try to find them online from formidable experts and horse professionals around. Just because you’re hitching a diminutive horse doesn’t mean you’re hitching a weak horse. The grade horses are people who can be your very best hope for virtually any event you desire. First it has to be created clear that ponies aren’t baby horses! A Pony isn’t a little horse, it is an individual breed. In these cases, `pony’ is employed as a term of endearment, as opposed to a designation of breed. After all, there are a number of rather huge ponies and some rather little horses.

A very simple solution isn’t to cross breed. There are various breeds of ponies, just because there are in horses. A terrier could be a little dog, but it needs a good deal of room to run in. Genetically, dogs are very diverse. Though some dogs may demonstrate some behaviors similar to this, it’s at much lesser extent and by a lot more controllable. Then, naturally, everyone wanted to have a cat or two. If your rabbit is molting, it’s not a great time to show them.

An animal can be tortured in several methods that contains the subsequent barbarous and brutal methods of the soulless abusers. Each animal needs to be provided its own food dish.Leftovers ought to be removed to stop spoilage. Animals, regardless of what species they are, will end up being man’s best friend.

The wolf and hybrid need a great deal of everyday exercise. He or she has a very strong ambition to become dominant. Neither wolves nor hybrids will earn a very good watch dog.

Horses – the Story

Birds are unable to flip their feathers and can’t escape predators. The rest of the species are extinct. Practically all animal species are abused by man somehow or the other. Neither of both of these animal species deals very nicely with problems they encounter outside the environments they’ve evolved to handle. Its plants may be used for any number of medicinal purposes. It’s always important to get a complete supply of the essential grooming tools.

This Day in 1989: February 25, President Bush Visits China

On February 25, 1989, American President George H. W. Bush, who had been in office for barely a month, arrived in Beijing for a working visit of China.

President Bush at Tiananmen Square, February, 1989

In the late 1970s, Bush had served as the official envoy to China, establishing the liaison office that eventually became the official embassy. He and his wife enjoyed riding bicycles on Beijing streets and acquired substantial knowledge of Chinese society. He also boosted personal relationship with Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping.

After becoming the President, Bush took the opportunity of the funeral of Japanese Emperor Hirohito to launch his first major diplomatic trip by visiting Japan, China, and Korea, before visiting any traditional western allies. (To soften possible controversy, he paid a same-day symbolic visit to neighboring Canada before the Asian trip.)

More than twenty years later, President Obama attempted his own version of "pivot to Asia."

This Day in 1989: February 20, 42 Scientists and Educators Issues an Open Letter

On February 20, 1989, 42 well-known scientists and educators co-signed an open letter to the nation's top leadership calling for democracy. This is the third such letter following those of Fang Lizhi and 33 writers.

This letter is relatively lengthy and detailed. As with the other letters, it called for the release of political prisoners but stopped short of calling for an amnesty. It also did not mention Wei Jingsheng's name.

The full text and list of signatures can be read here.

This Day in 1989: Feburary 2, Fang Lizhi Publishes China's Despair and China's Hope

On February 2, 1989, Fang Lizhi published an essay titled China's Despair and China's Hope, translated from Chinese by Perry Link, on the New York Book Review. In it, he boldly claimed that "the disappointments of the past forty years [of China] must be attributed to the social system itself."

The original Chinese version was published in Hong Kong press. It was also later propagated in Peking University by Wang Dan and Shen Tong through posters.

Secrets on Having a Long Lasting Relationship

Secrets on Having a Long Lasting Relationship

Relationships takes more than just being in love to last, it requires sacrifice,

patience, understanding, devotion and so many other things in order to last.

People that fall in love can still break up if they fail to understand that

relationship requires more than falling in love. Falling in love is the easy part but

maintaining the love and keeping it fresh seems to be hard for people. Are you in

love with your partner and you want the relationship to last, then you should be

able to do the following.

1. Be Willing to Compromise

If you really want to have a long lasting relationship, then you have to be willing to

compromise or sacrifice some certain things for the benefit of your partner and

the relationship. Knowing you really love your partner and you want to remain with

them, that urge to stay with them for a long time will make you close your eyes to

some certain things. If you know they hate something and always doing it brings

quarrel, then try your possible best to desist from that thing. But you to be certain

they are not making you go against your belief.

2. Discuss Issues Upfront

If their is a problem between you two, learn to discuss it to avoid building up and

causing distance between the both of you. If they do something you don’t like, tell

them, don’t keep it bottled up inside you, cos when the bottle gets filled up, you

will explode in front of them and it will be very hard to handle. So let them know

when they wrong you so it can be settled peacefully.

3. Be an Active Listener

If you are not a good listener that they can depend on when the going gets tough,

they will look for another listener outside your relationship which will be very bad.

So when they talk, listen well, don’t show I don’t care attitude or be absent

minded, listen and help them get through it.

4. Use a Soft Warm Tone While Talking to your Partner

Your partner should have a separate tone in which you communicate with them,

don’t talk to them as if you are talking to a random person and also make sure

you give them the respect they deserve.

5. Work Through your Problem as a Team

If you have a problem, don’t forget to share it with your partner and work through

it as a team, don’t always try to do it by yourself, do it together and when the

problem is solved, you will notice a closeness between you two because they

have shown you that they can be depended on.

6. Date Each Other no Matter how Long you Have Been Together

Some people think it’s only wen you are still getting to win your partner’s heart

that you go out on a date and that mindset will make them never go on a date

after winning their partner’s heart and it only makes the love die. If possible make

Friday night a date night, you mustn’t go out every Friday, you can have the date

at home so far as it is something different from your everyday relationship with

them, that way the love will be rekindled.

7. Be Valuable to Your Partner

Some people are more like parasites in a relationship, they are always at the

receiving end and not contributing anything to the relationship. They have nothing

to offer to their partner. That kind of relationship can never last cos at a point,

the giving party will get tired of giving without receiving. If they gain nothing from

you, then you are valueless to them and valueless things are thrown away once

the user gets tired of it.
