Public servants who are indifferent to the needs and concerns of citizens will be removed, president Cyril Ramaphosa said during his first ANC manifesto launch on Saturday.
"Many of our public servants are committed and dedicated professionals who perform their tasks faithfully," he told party supporters at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
"However, there are some whose indifference to the needs and concerns of citizens has led to a deterioration in the quality of services and assistance rendered."
Ramaphosa said this would change.
"For decades, our movement has been defined by selfless service to the people," Ramaphosa said.
"We therefore will not tolerate those in the public services or in political office who are negligent or use public resources for their own selfish gains."
Last year public service and administration minister Ayanda Dlodlo said SA’s R587bn public-sector wage bill had shot through the ceiling and the government would have to cut back on critical services if it failed to rein in pay increases.
The ANC was launching its manifesto ahead of the hotly contested 2019 general elections.
The elections are set to be the toughest yet for the ANC whose dominance in the electoral space has been on the decline since 2009, with its national share of the vote dropping to an all time low of 56% during the 2016 local government election.
Ramaphosa said civil servants had to serve the people of South Africa with commitment, diligence, humility, respect and honesty.
During his speech the ANC president also said that land claims had to be processed faster, title deeds provided quicker and housing projects completed on time.
He added that government would also be more deligent to ensure public servants did not do business with the state and warned transgressors that there would be serious consequences if they did not comply.
Ramaphosa said SA would not succeed if efforts to rebuild the country were not supported by a capable public service.
"We cannot and will not allow situations where government fails South Africans.
"We call on all our people to join us in this endeavour to build a capable and ethical state and to ensure that those who are responsible for stealing both public funds and private investments face the full might of the law," Ramaphosa said.
On land Ramaphosa said nothing new, however assured people that the ANC's approach to land reform was guided by the Constitution and by the need to advance economic development, agricultural production and food security.
He said in the ANC manifesto, the party outlined elements of a plan to accelerate land reform, making use of a range of complementary measures, including, where appropriate, expropriation without compensation.
"We will continue to promote a range of land ownership forms – public, private, cooperative, family and communal," he said.
Ramaphosa said the ANC would implement measures to promote urban agriculture and community food gardens to promote national food security and reduce hunger. | 2019-04-21T12:32:04Z | https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/national/2019-01-12-ineffective-public-servants-will-get-the-boot-says-ramaphosa/ |
A 1980 visit to the Metre gauge Nyon-St-Cergue-Morez (NStCM) before modernisation of the railway was completed in 1985. The vintage ABDe 4/4 railcars, some dating from the opening of the railway in 1916, were in opertion.
The Nyon-St-Cergue-Morez (NStCM) is a metre gauge railway in western Switzerland from the Swiss Federal Railways main-line at Nyon to Morez in France and a connection with the main SNCF system. The section from La Cure on the Swiss French border to Morez was closed in 1958. The first section from Nyon to St Cergue was opened in 1916 with completion to the border at La Cure inaugurated in 1917. The final section in France to Morez was completed in 1921. The French section was built by the Chemins de fer électriques du Jura (CFEJ).
The total length of the line was 39 km with 27 km remaining after closure of the French section. Electrified at the unusual voltage of 2200 volt dc from the outset, traffic was always maintained with railcars capable of hauling additional carriages. At the time of this visit, in September 1980, there were seven ABDe 4/4 railcars. Numbere 1, 5 and 6 were all built in 1916. Nos. 2 and 3 (built 1936 and 1924) were from the CFEJ with 10 and 11 constructed in 1918.
This visit was made because modernisation of the line and its railcars was planned. These plans included changing the supply voltage to 1500 volt dc, replacing the wooden supports for the overhead to metal and the purchase of modern railcars. The voltage change was undertaken in sections with the old railcars operating a reduced speed. Sadly, the end for the old stock came in December 1985. | 2019-04-24T12:57:20Z | https://www.world-railways.co.uk/railway-gallery-415 |
…things become quite mashed up in the bowl…whether the pie dough will roll over the rolling pin without brake, and gently slip into pie pan…..? – find out on Homemade season 3 episode 1.
If you read this blog regularly, you’ll know that I decided to make a few episodes or seasons of my Homemade alternatives to store-bought products, and today on the list is Pie Crust.
Yes, you can make your own homemade pie crust! It’s not hard, once you get the hang of it, and the result is so much better than your typical frozen pie crust that you get at the store. Some bakers use lard in their pie crust, while others turn to shortening, many of them swear by a half-butter-half-shortening crust, or even use a 4:1 ratio with butter to shortening.
I’m sure that all variants give good results, but for me, all-butter is your best bet !! it’s easy to find, it has fantastic flavor, and it yields a tender, flaky crust.
Dice it with a knife into cubes about 1/3" across, they don't have to be exact.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
Flatten the dough into disks, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hour or overnight.
Roll the dough out to the desired size (12-13" circle for a 9" pie pan) on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin.
Wrap with plastic wrap and set in the fridge or freezer.
Add some aluminum foil or parchment paper onto the dough then weigh it down with rice, dried beans or pie weights.
Bake in preheated oven at 375 F for 20-30 min or until golden brown, then remove the foil or parchment.
*If using a pie filling recipe that needs baked, bake according to that particular recipe.
I collect and love recipes.
I liked your recipe as it’s without egg. I’ll definitely try it.
Thanks for the pie crust recipe. It was easy. I know my pie is going to be great! | 2019-04-23T01:58:57Z | https://sugarapron.com/2016/03/30/homemade-all-butter-pie-crust/ |
Showing results for tags 'digital discovery'.
Hi I am new to the DD, and I thought this might be a good device to obtain readouts at high speed from my photon counter that outputs a 3.3v pulse every single time it receives a photon. The maximum speed it can go is at about 25ns per output. So I looked through some of the examples in the SDK (so I can automate the process, without having to save the data file each time and process it later). 1) It is not clear to me how I can extract the data from each channel using the SDK, or rather how I can specify which channel to log the data 2) I am wondering what is the maximum throughput, in the case I want to obtain data from multiple photon counters (e.g. 8 channels at 100MHz) 3) Also, if I implement a script to do a mathematical routine which will compress the amount of data (e.g. number of pulses over a period of time, or mean and std of pulses over a given time) is the script implemented on board or after it arrives in the cpu (post processed)? 4) Would I be able to get the time (or ticks) the pulse is received so that the data load is greatly reduced (since I do not necessarily need the 0s in the pulse stream). Thanks.
Hi I'd like to buy Digital Discovery to interface FPGA board to PC. As i saw the datasheet, It says that Digital Discovery has SPI read function. If the FPGA sends an SPI signal through Digital I / O, can the PC determine the SPI signal from the code and store the data? If you know, Please let me know.
Hello all, Chapter 2 of digital discovery (DD) manual mentioned about the possibility of output strength and slew adjustment. In waveform 2015 (e.g. 3.6.8), driver strength and slew can be adjusted in "supplies" manual. However, I couldn't find any API definition for this item. May I know where to find such API? Many thanks. HPLam P.s. Here is the quote from Ch.2 of DD's manual "The output strength can be set from 2mA to 16mA. The output slew rate can be set as: Quiet, Slow or Fast."

Moves pesky tiles of resources out of the way.
Place one of the machines and shortly it will begin moving ore from behind the machine to in front of it. It doesn't require power or fuel, and it doesn't produce pollution. They come in 10, 20, and 30 tile ranges, if you make the longer ranged ones they turn back into the basic one when you mine them. Don't worry, it doesn't cost any resources to upgrade them again.
I haven't refined this mod at all really, so be warned that the art is ugly, and the features are limited. For example, right now the machines are also fully functional Constant Combinators.

Margot Kidder is best known for playing Lois Lane in the Superman movies. And you could say the Man of Steel made quite an impression, because the sequel to Margot's acting career? Becoming a passionate activist for the environment. Margot was recently arrested at the White House for protesting the construction of the Keystone oil pipeline.
Margot is also quite outspoken about mental health: she herself successfully manages the bipolar disorder that led to a highly publicized breakdown 16 years ago, and she's continued with the acting career that's seen her work with everyone from Norman Jewison to Richard Pryor. She's also played a real-life leading lady to Pierre Trudeau, whom she had an influence on, and who inspired her to take a stand. | 2019-04-19T07:46:32Z | https://www.cbc.ca/strombo/guests/margot-kidder |
10 Commitments: #10 – Better or Worse?
I love reading about coaches. Recently, I read a book called “The Education of a Coach” by David Halberstam. It was a biographical analysis of Bill Belichick’s coaching history as he became one of the most successful coaches in National Football League history.
If you were to read the book you would learn the tremendous value Belichick placed on learning. It was his practice to spend the early part of the off-season traveling around and visiting other people who could teach him more about coaching a successful football team.
There was a story that struck me. After winning his second Super Bowl, Belichick went to visit retired NFL coaching great Jimmy Johnson. Johnson had won two Super Bowls but not a third. Belichick wanted to see what he could learn to improve on his record.
Johnson came up with a surprising insight. He suggested that the answer to winning a third Super Bowl was to figure out a new approach rather than attempting to do the same thing which won the second Super Bowl.
Johnson advised Belichick that success changes things. Players have a different approach once they have achieved a certain level. The things which motivated them to achieve success may not be the same things which cause them to maintain success.
Competition will respond differently. Everyone wants to knock off the champion. Everyone will devise strategies to counter their success. The climate changes.
So, the learning for me is that there is no room for complacency. We have to be innovative. We have to set higher standards. We have to look for fresh approaches.
Leaders look for the edge of excellence. That’s the difference in sustaining a great company. | 2019-04-21T22:33:33Z | https://www.palletone.com/ceo-blog/10-commitments-10-better-or-worse/ |

A Film By Matt Lambert. To promo a 240-hour long experimental theater piece that will be happening in Berlin in April 2014, directed by Thomas Bo Nilsson. A theater/performance art piece that will take place over 10 days straight at one of the most renown theaters in Berlin. At Schaubühne Berlin.
MEAT: For spring 2014, Thomas Bo Nilsson will present the immersive installation, MEAT. The point of departure for the installation is Luka Magnotta, the Canadian pornographic actor and alleged murderer, accused of killing and dismembering a young man. Luka was apprehended in 2012 in an internet cafe in Berlin and is said to have created a wide spectrum of online identities, rumor being that he had over 70 active Facebook accounts.
MEAT is inspired by Luka, as well as his self created alter egos, resulting in a 240 hour long interactive installation. An intact and hermetic, yet fragmented urban landscape is open for ten days and nights non-stop for the audience to explore. Over 60 actors are performing and living in the 600 sqm installation which can be visited at any time, and followed on the live online broadcast of the installation.
MEAT is a part of the fourteenth Festival of International New Drama (F.I.N.D.) taking place at the Schaubühne, Berlin. This year’s F.I.N.D. focuses on the interface between private life, art and political and social accountability.
Swedish born, Berlin based director, architect and installation artist Thomas Bo Nilsson has been behind the large scale installations that SIGNA has presented around Europe. From 2006 until 2013 he functioned as one the artistic leaders as well as creator of the detailed installations open for performers and audience members to inhabit and become part of. | 2019-04-23T06:36:13Z | https://www.kaltblut-magazine.com/meat/ |

Gold bars and rounds represent some of the simplest forms of physical gold, as they are generally valued closer to the melt value of gold than most other products on the market. Struck by private mints, they hold no legal tender and often have a fineness of at least 0.995.
Gold bars are generally produced with the name of the issuing organization engraved onto their face. Measured in troy ounces, the most common is the one ounce gold bar. However, gold bars are produced in a variety of sizes, such as one kilogram, 100 grams, 50 grams, 20 grams and 10 grams.
Gold rounds are distinguished from other coins by the fact that they are not authorized by government mints; instead, they are struck by private mints. They tend to be designed artistically (like government-minted coins) and come in a number of different sizes, such as 1/10 ounces, 1/4 ounces, and 1/2 ounces.
Any gold bars or rounds that contain a fineness of at least 0.995 are eligible for placement in a Precious Metals IRA. | 2019-04-23T02:15:32Z | https://www.birchgold.com/gold/bars-rounds/ |

Simon Kuznets has suggested that in the early stages of economic development, the distribution of income would tend to worsen, while at the later stages it would be improved by the economic growth. Whatever the theoretical explanation for the Kuznets curve, the empirical validity of this relation for the developing countries is still discussible. With in this article, the secular relationship bctween economic growth and the level of inequality has been tried to be tested with a cross-section regression study for 56 countries as a first step. Then, it has been tried to find out the consequences of macroeconomic policies on income distribution based on the cross-section regression study for 42 countries.

This Friday, September 26th is Bright Pink lipstick day. Join in and wear bright pink lipstick for the cause!
Bright Pink Lipstick is an annual event (now in it’s 3rd year) in partnership with Pink Hope that aims to not only raise awareness about Breast and Ovarian cancers (and funds), but also to encourage women to be proactive about their breast and ovarian health, by starting a conversation about their hereditary health.
I support a lot of causes, but charities to do with Breast cancer hold a personal meaning to me, as my late grandmother battled breast cancer. It is important to discuss any hereditary health issues with your family. You shouldn’t have to face it alone and you can take the first step in looking into your family’s hereditary health, so you can determine your own level of cancer risk.
This year’s official Bright Pink Lipstick is a collaboration with Pink Hope and Australian supermodel Jessica Hart. It is an exclusive lipstick for Bright Pink Lipstick Day through Jessica’s newly launched brand LUMA by Jess Hart cosmetics.
The LUMA by Jess Hart cosmetics lipstick can be purchased from Priceline stores (for $19.95) or online from the Pink Hope shop. If you aren’t able to purchase your official Bright Pink Lipstick or if you’re worried that it won’t arrive for Friday, you could just wear a favourite bright pink lipstick that you already own. You can also donate to the cause online or by texting PROMISE to 0477 56 PINK (to make a $10 donation).
Look Good…Feel Better’s Dream Week- Get involved!
Tomorrow kicks off Look Good…Feel Better’s annual dream week campaign. Dream week: 7 days of hope is a national campaign raising awareness and much needed funds for the Look Good…Feel Better program. The program receives no government funding, so it relies heavily on support and generosity of the beauty industry and general public.
What is the Look Good…Feel Better program?
During Dream week $1 from every lipstick or lip gloss sold at David Jones and Myer stores nationwide will be donated to Look Good…Feel Better, so go ahead and treat yourself to a new lippie, it is for a good cause after all!
I hope you will join me in supporting LGFB by participating in the 7 Days of Lipstick Challenge. I will also be donating to the campaign. | 2019-04-23T12:09:10Z | http://www.cottoncandydiva.com/causes/ |
I’m working on some new features, but it’s in an area I’m unfamiliar with, so I’m having to do a bit of learning and been down a few blind alleys. Once I get over the first hurdles I’ll be back in familiar territory, new updates soon.
EDIT: Further to this, I finally figured out how to get my OAuth tokens and am now figuring out the whole web APIs and JSON stuff for online cloud services. I found getting the token to be very confusing and poorly documented, but once I got access, using the APIs seems much simpler.
Been a bit quiet the last couple of weeks haven’t I? Took some time off for the local Blue Balls festival here in Luzern (That is the real name, I’m unsure if the swiss were aware of the double entendre…).
Anyway, back to work this week and working on a new feature which should be pretty exciting, keep checking for updates!
OK, so I’ve come up with a workaround to the orientation of videos filmed on apple devices, we can apply the rotation when the video is played (Which was already happening with portrait videos). This isn’t as good as converting the video to the correct orientation as additional real time processing is required. I will continue to look into the problem and see if I can raise a bug on it, or find a more effective workaround.
Next release should be out in a few days.
Ugh, now I’m having troubles with importing non standard orientation videos detected while testing the next release. The AVAssetExportSession is giving me memory problems and crashing the app when I try to correct the orientation for videos filmed on Apple devices, works great for any normally orientated video… I’m finding a workaround, but the release is delayed.
I’ve removed the standard UIImagePickerController to let users pick photos and videos from their camera roll, and while it functions pretty well at that, it had the annoying habit of automatically displaying videos and images on the external display, for my application, this is undesirable, as we’re already using the secondary display for our own purposes.
So I decided to build my own copy of the picker controller, fairly simple to do using the photos framework, a table view, a collection view and some views for displaying videos and images. But then I ran into trouble again with the AVPLayerViewController I was going to use so the user can check the video before importing. While it presents properly at first, there’s a full screen icon that can be selected and again, the video takes over the external display. It’s possible for the AVPlayer object you associate with the controller to disable external playback, but the view controller ignores this setting, very frustrating.
So I’m going to have to build my own player, really not that difficult, but will involve creating some icons, more code, time and testing, when all I really want is a facility to disable the automatic takeover of the external display.
I submitted a bug to Apple about it, but I don’t expect them to move quick. Obviously the AVPlayerViewController was designed to be easy to plug into your app, but the over simplification of the use case is annoying, if you have an external display connected, then you must want the video displayed on it. I guess with the recent addition of Picture in Picture, Apple simply only see special cases where more than one video could be played at once.
Anyway, couple of days delay, but the next update is coming along….
After a bit of a tour of Switzerland in the hot weather last week, I’m back working on the next release. This one will remove the stock photo and video picker and replace it with a custom version that won’t mess with connected displays, and maybe offer extra features in the future. It’s almost done already, so I might fit in a few other enhancements, should have a release for the end of the week.
Going to be on a break for the next week or so.
So after fixing the layers view, I’m going to address another fundamental part of the GUI, video importing. At the moment I’m using the stock apple UIImagePickerController for importing video and images, it’s less than satisfactory for my needs, it arbitrarily takes over the connected display, a totally undocumented feature which doesn’t seem to be able to be turned off. I’ll be replacing it with a custom importer, the basics are already there with the slideshow creator, and while I’m at it, improve other features of video importing and usage to better conserve resources and make the the Reality Augmenter more responsive.
Hopefully that won’t be too tough and I can add some extra stuff and still keep within a 2-3 week release cycle. After that there are going to be some major new features and improvements in the coming months, you simply can’t get a better projection mapping app for your mobile device.
This update gets rid of the layers table view, replaced with a new view that shows the layer geometries instead, so you can instantly see which layer is which. From this view you can tap any layer to edit it’s properties. Layer geometries are locked by default to stop accidentally interfering with the projection, to unlock, either long press on any area, or touch the edit button in the top left. You can then select and edit any layer like before, pinch to zoom, pan, and a long press to unlock snaps. The geometry view also looks a bit prettier and the checker pattern let’s you see if you’re texture edges line up or not, snapped nodes now appear in orange instead of blue.
The layer properties editor now has perspective correction, the default is off and the Reality Augmenter uses bi linear interpolation by default, this ensures the edges of your textures always line up. You can now turn on Perspective correction for a more correct 3d mapping, but the edges of textures are not guaranteed to line up, in many situations, this is not an issue.
Fixed crash when trying to connect to a google cast device with an iPad.
As usual, for any ideas, bug reports, suggestion, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Despite my earlier post on finding a bug on some devices, I managed to find a workaround, so 1.8 has now been submitted to review.
The problem only seemed to occur on older devices that only supported OpenGL ES2, and it made no sense. The OpenGL driver would crash when performing a certain operation in the fragment shader, reporting gpus_ReturnGuiltyForHardwareRestart. After googling the error, I couldn’t find any solutions, many suggested that it may have been incorrectly setup vertex buffer objects, but this was not the case for me. Others suggest a problem in the latest iOS release that was supposedly fixed in Beta.
For my layers, I combine multiple textures for the layer image, mask and overlay, with seperate texture coord buffers for each texture, all created in the same way that has proved 100% reliable for all previous releases. But this latest update adds another z coord to the texture coords in order to achieve the perspective correction feature, it worked fine for the layer image, but if a mask was introduced, it crashed. If I stopped dividing the xy values by the z, in mask only, it worked again. I hadn’t actually changed the size of the texture coords, I’d been using vec4s to respect apples guidelines on padding coordinates to increase memory access efficiency, just recalculated the z value as appropriate instead of using 0. | 2019-04-19T01:31:13Z | http://seriouscyrus.com/author/scadmin/page/2/ |
Elsewhere on our website, we've discussed what trespassing is, what the penalties are, if you get convicted for it, and how to tell if you're trespassing on someone else's property. However, in addition to Maine's criminal trespass laws, our state also has an additional trespassing law, called aggravated criminal trespass. This law recognizes that some acts of trespassing are relatively benign, and barely hurt anyone – like walking past a “No Trespassing” sign on a 140 acre farm and wandering around the corn fields – but that others can be considered more serious.
Have two prior convictions for burglary or aggravated criminal trespass.
Let's delve into each of these elements in detail.
This is the first requirement that can turn an act of normal trespassing into one of aggravated criminal trespassing. The reason is fairly clear: Walking uninvited into someone else's house is viewed as a major violation of privacy, and is something that rarely happens on accident, so the state of Maine has decided that there should be higher penalties if it does happen.
This long, legal-sounding definition seems like a 63-word way of saying the word “house.” However, there are certain differences between this definition of “dwelling place” and “house” that can make the difference between facing a charge of aggravated or normal criminal trespass. For example, a building that has been condemned, or an attached garage.
Permission and privilege are often subtly difficult ideas, especially in the eyes of the law. Examples of people that have a privilege to visit are firefighters or postal workers, when they're on the job. The reasoning is simple: If either of these workers had to ask for permission to come onto your property every time they needed to visit, you wouldn't get your mail, and your house will have burned down.
Permission is often much harder to determine. People rarely tell each other, “You are allowed to visit my dwelling place.” Instead, people often try to figure it out, depending on social clues and context. Unfortunately, people make mistakes, especially in these kinds of situations.
To be convicted for aggravated criminal trespass, you need to enter a “dwelling place,” and do so without permission or privilege. Additionally, you need to either commit a certain type crime while in the “dwelling place,” or you need to have enough prior offenses in your criminal history.
The crimes that can turn a regular trespass conviction into an aggravated trespass conviction are found in Chapter 9 and in Chapter 11 of Maine's criminal code.
Entering another person's “dwelling place” and committing any of these crimes will turn a trespass charge into an aggravated criminal trespass charge.
Even if you don't commit one of these crimes, if you have two or more prior offenses for burglary or aggravated criminal trespass in the past, any normal trespassing charge turns into one for aggravated criminal trespassing.
Aggravated criminal trespassing is a Class C felony crime. This means that it comes with maximum penalties of five years in jail, and $5,000 in fines.
A criminal defense attorney has lots of ways to defend against a charge for aggravated criminal trespass. All of the elements that we discussed above are up to the prosecutor to prove in trial, to a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you may have heard from others in the criminal system, this is not a low standard for the prosecutor to reach. Solid criminal defense attorneys know how to prevent prosecutors from meeting that standard, through challenging the prosecutor's facts and evidence, and by arguing that the prosecutor's case does not satisfy what the law requires for a conviction.
When it comes to aggravated criminal trespass, examples of what a criminal defense attorney would argue would be that the trespass did not occur in someone's “dwelling place,” or that no additional crime was committed that would turn the charge from trespassing to aggravated trespassing. Whether you had permission to be on the property is another example.
These are just a small sample of the specific ways that criminal defense attorneys would fight a charge for aggravated criminal trespassing. There are also all of the methods and techniques that defense lawyers use to defend people against all sorts of criminal charges. These include challenging and impeaching witnesses, using prior statements to damage their credibility, attacking the foundation of the prosecutor's evidence, and using the hearsay rule.
Attorney William T. Bly is regarded as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state of Maine. By using these criminal defense methods, as well as others that he has learned, honed, and perfected over years of experience and countless trials, he has accumulated an impressive track record of successfully defending clients against a wide variety of criminal charges.

Q: My closely held for-profit corporation’s health plan will cease providing coverage for some or all contraceptive services mid-plan year. Does this reduction in coverage trigger any notice requirements to plan participants and beneficiaries?
Yes. For plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), ERISA requires disclosure of information relevant to coverage of preventive services, including contraceptive coverage. Specifically, the Department of Labor’s longstanding regulations at 29 CFR 2520.102-3(j)(3) provide that, the summary plan description (SPD) shall include a description of the extent to which preventive services (which includes contraceptive services) are covered under the plan. Accordingly, if an ERISA plan excludes all or a subset of contraceptive services from coverage under its group health plan, the plan’s SPD must describe the extent of the limitation or exclusion of coverage. For plans that reduce or eliminate coverage of contraceptive services after having provided such coverage, expedited disclosure requirements for material reductions in covered services or benefits apply. See ERISA section 104(b)(1) and 29 CFR 2520.104b-3(d)(1), which generally require disclosure not later than 60 days after the date of adoption of a modification or change to the plan that is a material reduction in covered services or benefits. Other disclosure requirements may apply, for example, under State insurance law applicable to health insurance issuers. | 2019-04-24T02:10:05Z | https://www.payrollmasters.com/disclosures-with-respect-to-preventative-care-dol-notice-requirement-post-hobby-lobby/ |
We are also collecting funds to purchase the property! The price has been raised and our negotiations continue (at a Honduran pace); we'll keep you posted when a final price is reached. A large financial invest would be a major blessing.
We trust that God will provide for the ministry's needs; Is He calling you to be involved financially?
The majority of the Ranch’s construction projects are completed by groups and the money & labor they put into the buildings. Completed projects means more opportunity to share the Gospel. We've also expanded outreach to the community via VBS, community/RO4Y family construction projects, health seminars, rummage sales and special dinners.
It’s a kingdom building investment at the Ranch and in your life. Is God calling you to invest a week of your life for His kingdom in Honduras this year?
In the field, Rancho Oasis is a family of six that includes one Spanish speaking adult, a deaf woman and four children. We are stretched to the max and amazed at all that God is doing. We’ve seen God move even more when another adult or young person joins us in ministry.
Reality is we can’t accomplish what God has called us to do on our own. God is preparing each one of us in the body of Christ to serve and advance His kingdom. Will you test God’s faithfulness to you at Rancho Oasis? | 2019-04-25T09:54:58Z | http://www.ro4y.org/2012/08/newsito-top-5-reasons-beards-are-on.html |
Developing a new sans serif clearly distinguishable from existing sans serifs is a difficult task. Günter Gerhard Lange accomplished that with Imago, introduced by Berthold in 1982. It is narrower in proportion than others, has a square-like shape to its curves and numerals that are slightly shorter than its cap height. Particular attention was given to the expression of each individual character and great care was taken to keep them open and clear even in the smallest of sizes and boldest of weights.
Under the direction of Günter Gerhard Lange, bold and bold italic weights were added in 2000, making Imago an extremely well-balanced family with universal applicability. Imago is especially useful for office memorandum, and scanning and faxing documents.
Imago is a trademark of Berthold Types Limited. | 2019-04-23T15:06:35Z | https://www.bertholdtypes.com/font/imago/be/ |

I am certainly not one to waste fabric. As a person who loves fabric and knows all too well how expensive it is, I like to save what I can, even really small pieces. If you’re not one for waste either, here’s an easy tip on how you can get the most out of your fabric and money.
We know that most quilting projects will leave us with left over scraps, maybe from trimming away corners or just from the initial cutting. If you don’t want to throw away perfectly good fabric, why not cut it for future use by making your own precuts?
Here’s an example of my latest ‘made myself precuts.’ The quilt pattern I’m currently making requires several flying geese units that leave a lot of cut-away corners. Because the units are pretty large, the cut-away corner triangles (approximately 2″ x 4″) are big enough to allow me to cut out one 1 ½” square from each piece.
After cutting out the 1 ½” squares, there’s barely any fabric left leaving minimal waste. Easy and economical, right?
For me, the biggest challenge with doing this is deciding when to cut the fabric. Because I’m usually excited to keep on sewing the project at hand (it’s hard to take extra time to cut scraps) but I usually do it as I go along so I don’t forget what they’re for, and I know it’ll save time later. It’s personal preference whether you cut as you go, or later on.
Since I have been doing this for quite a while, I have saved myself a lot of time and fabric – it’s definitely a win-win situation!
Once I had the idea, I played around with it until the design resembled a clock face as close as possible, even down to the binding which represents a silver casing! Technically, the mug rug can read four different times, depending on how you orient it. 🙂 Unfortunately, Modern Patchwork is no longer published (I was sad to see it go) so I’ve decided to offer my Sunrise Clock Mug Rug pattern as a free PDF download.
I made the original four (in the above photo) with brightly colored hands and a white background but the next time around I experimented quite a bit with color. Since I liked how the quilting design looked, I kept it the same on the others as well.
These mug rugs are a quick and fun project that presents a clean, modern aesthetic. They make great gifts, too. I’d love to see other versions, if on Instagram hashtag #sunriseclockmugrug to share yours!
Ahh, half square triangles…I couldn’t imagine the quilting world with out them. I think it would be a safe bet to say that the majority of quilt patterns include half square triangles. And I think most quilters would agree that we love of their versatility.
Learning how to make half square triangles (HSTs) with accurate results can make all the difference in your quilt. I remember my first quilt included HSTs, and I also remember that I had no idea what I was in for when it came time to make them! I didn’t know anything about trimming and the importance of accuracy which made putting the quilt top together a bigger challenge than I expected.
If you’re a new quilter, I have an tutorial on how to make half square triangles with ease. It’s a basic method where you make two at a time and bias edges are avoided. By using this method you’ll find there’s very little waste but it allows enough fabric for trimming, and it’s perfect for chain piecing.
For future reference, I’ve included a sizing chart that provides both the size of the cut of fabric needed and the size of the finished/trimmed HST. It’s really a great resource, I use it all the time. Click to download my Half Square Triangle Chart PDF.
I made these HSTs for a pillow project using this method.
You can see that very little was trimmed away, but it does make a lot of difference when you piece your project together. I like to use a Bloc-Loc ruler for trimming my squares. Not only does it give great accuracy, it makes the trimming process go much faster than using a regular quilter’s ruler.
If you give this tutorial a try, I hope your triangles are stellar. 🙂 Let’s go have some fun creating!
Note: I am not endorsed by any products I have mentioned or photographed in this post; they are just items I like, use and wanted to share information on.
In 2017 I told my daughter I would make her a bed size quilt, but to be honest I never got around to it that year. Enter 2018 and I knew I had to keep my word. That said, I had her choose both the fabric and the quilt pattern because if I was going to take a lot of time to make something so big (and expensive), I wanted her to be happy with it.
After searching around she decided on Robert Kaufman’s Artisan Batiks/Retro Metro by Lunn Studios. This would be my first time working with batiks and I was ready to try something new.
Her pattern choice was the Hunter’s Star quilt based on the video tutorial by Missouri Star Quilt Company. We all love Jenny Doan, don’t we? I know I’m a fan of her videos and patterns, and store too, for that matter. The video tutorial I followed is Hunter’s Star Made Easy. It’s a great tutorial but there were a couple of things I found challenging and I’d like to share them with anyone who decides to make this quilt from the video.
First, making the half square triangles (HSTs). By using the method in the tutorial you need to know that all the fabric edges will be on the bias! Meaning everything is going to be stretchy so handle with care. Personally, I don’t like making HSTs this way because of that, but in this case I just used extra caution. If you’re a beginner quilter be aware if and when you use this method.
I needed 720 HSTs for the entire quilt, that’s a lot! Here’s a stack of just 168, trimmed and ready for blocks.
How to press your seams is important, and I found it worked best pressing the HSTs seams open—but—if you’re using a Bloc-Loc ruler, trim them first, then press seams open. I pressed a few open first and they were off, so I didn’t end up with a ¼” seam once sewn. It wasn’t until afterwards that I realized why that happened, but thankfully I didn’t do too many.
After I got that right everything lined up nicely! The pressed open seams made for a nice, flat lying block.
Here are a few more tips from my experience that are really useful.
After laying out the blocks, take a photo. It’s easy to get blocks turned around and having a photo reference is a lifesaver.
Pin, pin, pin! Some quilters don’t like to pin because it slows them down. I like the accuracy of pinning so I’ll take the extra time. It’s definitely worth it.
Before I began sewing rows together I numbered the back of each block in the seam, in order per row using a Frixion pen (you can see my sideways #8 in the above photo). If you end up making a mistake, having had the blocks numbered will definitely help. I actually sewed one entire row upside down AND backwards! I was glad I had the blocks numbered as it helped me fix the problem and it helped me to realize I had done it wrong.
I also pinned at both side seams and the center seams within the top block before I sewed my rows together. This keeps everything aligned.
Lastly, when I sewed the blocks into rows, I pressed seams to the four patch. That way, blocks in every other row were pressed opposite and my seams nested perfectly. Also, when I sewed my rows together I pressed seams to the row that had the most four patch blocks because pressing the star block seam flat cooperated better.
Here are a few photos of my process as I went along.
Because this quilt was so large I needed 9 yards of backing. So much fabric!
I also had my daughter choose what quiliting pattern she wanted. Here’s a close up of the mod squares motif she chose. I think it goes great with the fabric’s retro look.
And finally, the finished quilt! By far, it’s the largest one I’ve ever made. It’s queen size and measures 95 ½” x 104 ½” which is pretty massive for a quilt!
My daughter was so happy with it and it brings tons of color into her bedroom, just like she wanted. And I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out too. I do have to admit that this was a huge undertaking and I’m pretty sure I’d only work that hard for one of my kids!
Another quilt finished and one with an interesting story to go along with it. After finishing my Christmas quilt I thought, why not make one for Valentine’s Day? I love the color pink and tend to use it frequently so I had a lot of scraps on hand to choose from.
I wanted a heart quilt with a large array of pinks and reds, but I didn’t want to use the traditional heart shape so I opted for something more modern.
Once I had my idea I began designing the heart block and I started writing a pattern for it. Here’s what’s interesting…I thought I was onto something original, but when I went to name it I found it had been done before, published as a baby quilt in 2017, and had the exact same name! I admit I was a bit let down, but I still loved the design and it didn’t stop me from moving forward. I chose a different name because the quilts were different; mine was throw size, my blocks were bigger and I didn’t add borders.
Whenever I come up with a new design I always look to see if anyone else has already done it. For some reason when I checked for this heart quilt I didn’t see it anywhere, though I’m not really surprised it was done before because it is a pretty basic block.
Although I can’t claim it as my own design even though I’d never seen the other one (it isn’t worth getting blamed for copying) I do think it’s the cutest quilt I’ve ever made!
Here’s some general information on how I made my quilt. I wrote my pattern for using 10″ squares but it’s also scrap friendly. This illustration shows how I made my blocks from scraps. I used 29 different fabrics.
As an alternative, you can save time by strip piecing with precuts. Sew together and cut, as illustrated. One strip set will make 3 block halves.
I cut my background squares 5 ½” x 5 ½”, 99 total. I didn’t cut my edge pieces in half like most quilters would have done. Instead, I sewed them on as squares and trimmed them once the quilt top was complete. You might ask why would I do that? Well, I’m no fan of bias edges and by doing it this way I didn’t experience stretching and it ended up perfectly square. 🙂 And I know it’s certainly not the conventional way!
Here’s the layout of my Petite Hearts Quilt. Rows are sewn together on point (diagonally).
I used a variety of fabrics for this quilt including Riley Blake, Art Gallery, Andover, Michael Miller…just to name a few. The backing is Simply Colorful II in magenta by V & Co. for Moda. I sewed my binding on by hand using Aurifil 2530. I did the quilting myself on my Janome using the serpentine stitch using Aurifil 2026. Finished size is roughly 56″ x 70″.
Here’s the finished quilt. Original or not, I absolutely love it and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! | 2019-04-25T22:31:37Z | https://mondaymorningdesigns.com/category/uncategorized/ |

On August 5, 2018, the New York Times Magazine published a special issue devoted entirely to global warming. Writer Nathaniel Rich investigates what we understood about climate change in the 1980s, how close we came to taking national action, and why that effort failed, with enormous consequences since. The magazine also includes an aerial photo and video essay on climate-change impacts across the globe by photographer George Steinmetz. The project was made possible with the support of the Pulitzer Center. Please join us on Monday, September 10 at 5:30 p.m. for presentations by Nathaniel and George followed by a panel discussion with the Pulitzer Center’s Executive Director, Jon Sawyer, and moderated by Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz, Director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. | 2019-04-25T07:53:31Z | http://happyhackingbulletinboard.info/search?q=Times%20magazine%20com |
Many other Industrial and Commercial applications.
The Compacting Dumpsters are a liquid tight (up to 17") design that allows for both wet and dry waste to be compacted and stored while awaiting disposal. These Outdoor Compactors (also referred to occasionally as Compactor Dumpsters or Dumpster Compactors) offer a unique way to handle large amounts of trash with very little space outdoors. Trash Haulers are able to 'tip' these compacting dumpsters in the same way that they do their other (non-compacting) dumpsters. Oftentimes, waste hauling costs can be cut in half as a result of the reduction in service (tipping) requirements.
In addition to substantially reducing tipping fees / charges, these compactors can also help towards greatly reducing scavengers, insect and rodent problems, odor problems, fire hazards, overflowing dumpsters and much more.
Many standard features help make this a must for numerous waste processing applications. For example, the counter-balanced loading door is easy to open and the loading height is only about 3 feet. In addition, the power unit is free-standing and can be placed nearby the trash compactor at the most convenient location.
The operation of the outdoor waste compactor is simple and safe. After opening the counter-balanced loading door and discarding the trash into the large one cubic yard hopper, it is just a matter of closing the door and pushing the start button. The waste compactor cycles completely within 20 seconds and it is ready to accept more trash. These trash compactors come with many safety features such as a dual interlock system on the loading door and keylock controls that prevent unauthorized and unsafe operation. In addition, all controls are UL listed and the compactor meets or exceeds all ANSI and OSHA standards. | 2019-04-22T02:37:42Z | https://www.wastecare.com/Products-Services/Compactors/Trash_Compactors/Compacting_Dumpsters/Compactors_Outdoor_Overview.htm |

This here is becoming a lavatory room, a loo. Pity seldom atheists speak.
Kamil … again … I understand your interest in all this and your curiosity esp. the idea “what if this is real”?
You’ll find a lot many such eloquent testimonies if you dig deeper into youtube I am sure.
But look, the point is, eloquence is not sufficient proof of anything.
To a person with some mental disturbance, his/her hallucinations are very real. The hallucinations of such people are always with a social / human context (demons are talking to me, the governments is spying on me directly and personally, they’ve installed a chip inside me made of polymer that doesn’t show up in scans … etc. etc.).
Similarly, to someone who’s experienced an NDE, such things are very real. The brain is a powerful image creator … sometimes the images are so realistic that they seem to be real experiences.
But that does not imply at all that these things are objectively real for all of us.
Now suppose someone came back from an NDE with an earth shattering mathematical equation or result which an archangel revealed to him/her, which he / she memorizes and, on waking up, writes down but cannot understand at all (being a non-mathematician).
And which when shown to, say, a physicist or mathematician leads to the kind of surprise that this guy (the math prof) had in the movie (spanish clipping, I think, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjt82Wd8Ai4 … couldn’t find an English one) when an alien writes stuff about GR on the board. | 2019-04-20T09:08:00Z | https://asktheatheist.com/?p=3619 |
You’ve probably heard at some point that making large purchases with your credit card(s) before applying for a mortgage is a no-no.
In fact, you may have read that on this very site, since I’ve warned about it on numerous occasions in multiple posts.
You might be aware of this issue, but shrugged it off, thinking what’s a few points, right? You already have excellent credit so it doesn’t matter if you purchase a new $5,000 couch with your AmEx card for the new digs.
Well, think again. It really does matter, and it can do serious damage to your credit score. I’m not just talking about 5-10 points. I’m talking enough movement to potentially take you out of the running for a mortgage altogether.
Let’s take a look at a very real example; my credit score over the past year. Yes, I’m using my own credit score to illustrate this very real problem. Fortunately, I didn’t apply for a mortgage during this period so it wasn’t an issue for me.
But for those who followed my path and did, it could have spelled serious, serious trouble.
For most of the past year, my credit score has been stuck in a range from the low 800s to around 820. This is good because it means I won’t have any issues qualifying for a mortgage based on credit score alone.
Not only that, but I’ll also get the most favorable rates and avoid as many mortgage pricing adjustments as possible. Once you get above 760 there aren’t many credit score adjustments (if any) to worry about.
However, when the holidays hit I started making a lot of purchases on my credit card. There was a promotion with Discover and Apple Pay that offered 23% cash back on all purchases so I hit it hard.
I basically maxed out my Discover card, which had a pretty dismal credit limit because Discover is a pretty conservative lender. When all was said and done, I think I had 1% available credit on the card, otherwise known as 99% utilization.
This is not a good idea, especially before applying for a mortgage because it will literally tank your credit score, even if you pay off the balance in full by your due date.
The problem is that the credit bureaus will take a snapshot of your credit balances on a certain date and then compute your credit score based on that information.
Chances are TransUnion saw this maxed out credit card and docked my score accordingly, basically assuming I was going down a bad path by making a ton of charges. This is usually a signal that a consumer is in trouble financially.
In the matter of a couple months, my credit score fell nearly 50 points. From peak to trough, it fell a total of 65 points. I went from having stellar credit to having very good credit. Still, my score was below 760, which could cost you on a mortgage.
The takeaway is not to chance it!
Now the good news. Once I paid my credit card bill in full, and the bureaus took note of the new $0 balance (this isn’t immediate), my credit score shot up to its highest point in the past 12 months.
My 758 credit score was now 826, not too far from the perfect credit score of 850. It’s also the highest it has been since Credit Karma began keeping track of it a couple of years ago.
So despite the big hit early in 2016, I’m in even better shape than I was to begin with. This is great, but had I applied for a mortgage a month or two ago, I could have jeopardized the entire thing.
For someone with a lower starting score, they could have knocked themselves out of eligibility, or at minimum been forced to take on a higher mortgage rate as a result.
The moral of the story is to heed the warnings of avoiding large purchases before taking out a mortgage. It’s no joke. For the record, the same can be said of cash because you’re depleting your assets if you make large cash purchases.
In other words, practice frugality before and during the mortgage application process and until the loan is funded. Those purchases can wait and you’ll be better for it. After all, mortgages can stick with you for decades – you’d hate for one ill-timed purchase to haunt you for years to come.
Interestingly, once you get your mortgage, you might be able to pay it with a credit card, not that it’s necessarily a good idea. | 2019-04-24T23:28:54Z | https://www.thetruthaboutmortgage.com/dont-swipe-your-credit-card-before-you-apply-for-a-mortgage/ |

Most history buffs and lovers of Greek mythology know that Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece, as well as being the home to 12 gods and the father of the Olympian pantheon Zeus.
But how many, including Greeks, know which the second highest peak in the land of the ancient Greek gods is?
Standing at 2,637 metres in elevation Mt. Smolikas comes in second to the famed Olympus.
Situated in the northwest Ioannina prefecture and on the western border of Grevena prefecture, Smolikas is the highest peak in the Pindus range, and similar to Olympus is a relatively straightforward climb for experienced climbers and hikers.
Home to the uniquely beautiful small alpine lake called “Drakolimni Smolika” (Dragon lake Smolika) near the summit, which is as if straight out of a Lord of the Rings fantasy movie, the mountain is close to 2,200 metres high.
The frigid lake is filled with alpine newt (small salamanders), which continue their lives oblivious to the presence of tourists. | 2019-04-21T15:15:32Z | http://en.protothema.gr/amazing-aerial-footage-of-2nd-highest-mounatin-in-greece-video/ |
PepsiCo Inc. plans to remove sugary drinks from schools worldwide, following the success of programs in the U.S. aimed at cutting down on childhood obesity.
The company said Tuesday it will remove full-calorie, sweetened drinks from schools in more than 200 countries by 2012, marking the first such move by a major soft drink producer.
Both PepsiCo, the world's second-biggest soft drink maker, and No. 1 player Coca-Cola Co. adopted guidelines to stop selling sugary drinks in U.S. schools in 2006.
The World Heart Federation has been negotiating with soft drink makers to have them remove sugary beverages from schools for the past year as it looks to fight a rise in childhood obesity, which can lead to diabetes, heart problems and other ailments.
PepsiCo's move is what the group had been seeking because it affects students through age 18, said Pekka Puska, president of the World Heart Federation, a group of heart associations from around the world. He said he hopes other companies feel pressured to make similar moves.
"It may be not so well known in the U.S. how intensive the marketing of soft drinks is in so many countries," Mr. Puska said in an interview from Finland. He added that developing countries such as Mexico are particularly affected by this strong marketing.
Coca-Cola this month changed its global sales policy to say it won't sell any of its drinks worldwide in primary schools unless parents or school districts ask. The policy does not apply to secondary schools. The World Heart Federation wants all drinks with added sugars removed from schools with children through age 18.
Coca-Cola, based in Atlanta, did not immediately return a request seeking comment Tuesday.
PepsiCo's policy requires cooperation from its bottlers, vending companies and other distributors who take the company's products to schools worldwide. The company said it did not have exact figures for sales in schools around the world but said they did not make up a major portion of sales.
In primary schools, PepsiCo will sell only water, fat-free or low-fat milk, and juice with no added sugar. In secondary schools, it will sell those drinks along with low-calorie soft drinks, such as Diet Pepsi. Sports drinks are permissible when they're sold to students participating in sports or other physical activities.
In the U.S., the industry has swapped lower-calorie options into schools to replace sugary drinks. Sales of full-calorie soft drinks fell 95% in U.S. schools between fall 2004 and fall 2009, the American Beverage Association reported last week.
The industry voluntarily adopted guidelines in 2006 as part of an agreement with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a joint initiative of former President Bill Clinton's foundation and the American Heart Association.
Mr. Puska said defeating childhood obesity isn't as simple as just removing sugary drinks from schools. Students must also exercise and eat better, not just at school but at home as well. Students should learn these habits at schools, he said. | 2019-04-25T11:30:36Z | https://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20100316/FREE/100319922/pepsico-yanking-sugar-from-schools-worldwide |

Emerald City on CD? Blackwell trilogy question.
Will there be a physical release or will the game be download only?
For the Blackwell games, once the 3rd game is released, are there any plans on selling all 3 together with a minor discount?
Re: Emerald City on CD? Blackwell trilogy question.
Excellent. Come the 19th, if you order from Playfirst, they will have an option to order the cd version, or will that come later?
Hm. Honestly, I'm not sure! I guess we'll find out on the 19th.
I make sure I like cd versionAC Compressor for best price at Discountcompressor. ...Find new and used Dodge Parts. Locate Daewoo Nubira Parts suppliers and dealers online.Dodge Parts at wholesale prices. All of our parts are OEM quality or better, and most come with a 1 year warranty!
When you purchase it off of playfirst it gives you a chance to include the cd. As for most games you will likely be able to buy it in stores as well. I know games like diner dash you can find at stores like best buy. So it may appear in stores as well.
But I know you can get the cd through the playfirst sight.
To update this thread, I can confirm that a retail boxed version of ECC in in the works. | 2019-04-25T22:02:52Z | http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/forum/index.php?topic=620.msg2035 |

Katie Taylor will defend her WBA and IBF World Lightweight titles against undefeated Finnish fighter Eva Wahlstrom at Madison Square Garden, New York on the 15th of December.
The 32-year-old (11-0) will be making the third defence of her world titles, 10 months after she unified the lightweight divisions by capturing the IBF championship from Victoria Bustos in April.
Last week, The42 reported that Taylor was set for her MSG debut against Wahlstrom, news that was confirmed on Tuesday evening.
The Bray-native shares a storied history with Wahlstrom, including defeating the 38-year-old Finn on her way to gold in the 2005 European Amateur Championships and the 2006 World Championships.
Speaking about the bout, Taylor said: “Eva is someone I know very well from our time in the amateurs.
Meanwhile, the undefeated Wahlstrom (22-0-1) will be looking to become a two-weight world champion when she faces Taylor, having won the WBF Super-Featherweight champion in 2015. She has successfully defended the strap four times, including against the former Taylor foe Anahi Sanchez in December 2016.
“I have stated for the longest time that I am ready and I want to engage in toughest fights available,” said Wahlstrom. “This is the ultimate, biggest and toughest fight anywhere and to have it in the legendary Madison Square Garden is a huge honour.
“I lost to Katie a few times in amateur days but I am sure I won her respect anyway. Now, in a 10-round pro fight, it will be totally different game with all new avenues to avenge those defeats.
Taylor’s defence of her world titles against Wahlstrom will take place on the undercard of one of the biggest shows of the year, with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez challenging Rocky Fielding for the WBA World Super Middleweight title in the main-event.
Katie Taylor vs Eva Walhstrom for the WBA and IBF World Lightweight titles will air live on Sky Sports on the 15th of December. | 2019-04-25T22:48:08Z | http://wicklownews.net/2018/12/katie-taylor-historic-msg-title-defence-against-former-foe-confirmed/ |

In 1919, William Wrigley Jr. purchased Santa Catalina Island. Wanting an island home for his wife, Ada and himself, he sought out the best location in Avalon, which turned out to be at the top of a lovely mountain, with a full commanding view of the island, Avalon and the Pacific beyond.
It was the first spot to receive the morning sun and the last of the afternoon sun as it dipped behind the mountains. Wrigley named the mountain top Mt Ada. In asking his wife what she would like the house to look like, Ada answered that she had always wanted a house with dark green shutters. Returning from Chicago the following year, Mrs. Wrigley arrived on the island to find this lovely Georgian Colonial Mansion with dark green shutters.
The home was completed in 1921. “L” shaped, the mansion wraps around a formal motor court entry on the mountain side, and a grand staircase of over 100 stairs, leading up to the home from the ocean side.
Mrs. Wrigley was fond of succulents and cactus and had the garden planted with a number of unique species. The home was originally designed using her own ideas, involving three stories, a Turkish bath, billiard room, organ chamber, and a refrigerating room.
There were also six bedrooms, a sun room, and an elegant terrace porch. However, many of these original design details were modified or removed entirely such as the entire third floor of the home.
1921 is also the year that Mr. Wrigley decided to have his baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, hold Spring Training on the island. Although Mr. Wrigley usually watched the training from the bleachers, he had made sure he could watch them from his mansion office as well.
The Wrigley's enjoyed their time on the island and would visit at least twice a year until Mr. Wrigley’s passing in Arizona in 1932. They entertained Presidents, royalty and princes of industry, but mostly enjoyed island living, the Chicago Cubs and the community of Avalon. Mrs. Wrigley continued to love and visit the home after her husband's death.
During the 1960’s, visitors could tour the mansion until the Wrigley family donated it to the University of Southern California to use as a Marine Science Center.
In 1985, the property was leased to a private party who set about re-creating Mt Ada as a bed and breakfast. They turned it into a highly successful venture which has been awarded the Mobil Travel Guide 4-Star rating, Conde Nast’s “Best in the World” Readers Choice Award, the Forbes Four Star Award and several TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence. Mt. Ada is now managed by the professional hospitality team of the Catalina Island Company. | 2019-04-25T22:04:23Z | https://www.visitcatalinaisland.com/about-the-island/points-of-interest/mt-ada/ |
You can make your home more energy efficient by adding solar panels to your roof, a small backyard wind turbine, and also having residential window tinting. Installing films on your property is not as complicated as it seems and once done, you can save more on your energy bills.
When you tint your home windows Tivoli, the temperature in your home can drop down by a third. Even during the winter, you can still save cost just by the simple installation of window tints as they can help in making the temperature just right.
It is also common for most homes in Australia to have an air conditioning as they are at most used during the summer days. The energy used for air conditioning could be lessened once you have window films as they can block 75 to 80 per cent of the sun’s rays. This time can be a good preparation for that as window tints will allow you to save 30 per cent on energy cost.
Window tinting was once a luxury item on vehicles but became a great used on buildings. Things changed when car owners realize that window films can make their cars cooler and save them with their energy cost. As soon as this becomes known, homes soon followed as they see that they can also enjoy the same benefit cars have with films.
Now, residential homes are also taking advantage of window films to save on energy cost while lessening sunlight fading of furniture and not getting the harmful rays from the sun. | 2019-04-25T18:17:53Z | https://www.windowtintipswich.com.au/blog/create-an-energy-efficient-home-when-you-tint-your-home-windows-tivoli |
These are the many names for the sealed enclosure. The explanation of the latter names is simple. Because the box is air tight, the air inside the cabinet acts like a spring. When the speaker moves, it pushes against the “spring” and then it is pushed by the “spring”, similar to a suspension, hence the term acoustic suspension Logically, if the volume of the box is smaller, the “air spring” is stiffer. Inversely, if the volume gets bigger, the “air springs” effectiveness diminishes.
Increasing the volume too much, will lead to denying the effect of the spring, and the enclosure is an infinite baffle. Actually, the term infinite baffle is exactly what it sounds like, a baffle that extends indefinitely. This will lead to no resonances, no diffraction and other benefits. But in the real world, we can convene that the infinite baffle is just an oversized sealed box.
Cms – The compliance of the suspension (the spider and the surround, to be exact). If the suspension is stiff, the driver is not compliant. So, the easy it is to move the speaker, the more compliant it is. Cms is measured in m/N.
Vas – The air inside the cabinet has its own compliance. If the box is small, the air is less compliant and if the box is larger, the air is more compliant. Vas describes the volume of the air inside the cabinet (measured in liters), where the compliance of the speaker matches the compliance of the air inside the box.
If (volume of the enclosure) < (Vas) then it’s an acoustic suspension enclosure.
If (volume of the enclosure) >= (Vas) then it starts to become an infinite baffle.
Example : If Vas = 30L and I make a box of 29L or lower, the air inside the box starts to act like a suspension and I just made an acoustic suspension. I just like to keep it simple like that. Because if you want to get really technical, the term acoustic suspension is valid only when the compliance of the driver is 3 times (or more) larger than the compliance of the box.
Why choose a sealed enclosure ?
Roll-off is about 12 db / octave. This is compared to other enclosures, like bass-reflex, which has a steep roll-off of about 24 db / octave. You can see from this graph, the frequency response of the driver. Blue is for sealed and red is for bass-reflex. Let’s consider, for argument’s sake, that they both play linear till 60 Hz, and then they start to roll-off. While the bass-reflex will play louder than the sealed counterpart, when it has reached the resonance frequency, it starts to roll-off quickly, while sealed will keep playing even the lowest notes (at an increasingly lower output, of course). You can see from the graph, that sealed plays louder at 30 Hz than bass reflex, because of this smooth roll-off. Please understand that this graph exists just to make a point, in real life things aren’t so perfect.
This means that the speaker is very “lively”. It can play with little effort short term sudden sound waves, like drums, for example. For a good transient response, the speaker needs to start and stop exactly when it needs to. The internal air “spring” that acts like a suspension, helps with achieving these good transients. Also, the fact that it has a gentle roll-off slope of 12 db / octave, helps as well.
The difficulty of construction is very easy.
You just have to make sure that the box doesn’t leak air, and you are pretty much set. The only thing you need to calculate beforehand is the internal volume of the box. Now, there is no particular best volume for each speaker. You just have to understand what you are using it for, what are your tastes in sound, and then you can calculate the volume of the box. Meddling with the volume affects another T/S parameter (called Q).
We will talk about Q in a second and how does it affect the frequency response. Besides the fact that it is easy to build, if you get the volume wrong after you made the box, it’s not that big of a deal. Let’s say you wanted a 25 L sealed enclosure, and after it’s done, because of some building errors, it has 28 L. It will still sound good even with the 3 L extra. For a band-pass enclosure these kinds of errors are disastrous for the end result. You can even buy prefab boxes, since the only variable is the volume.
The major negative point for the sealed enclosure is the low efficiency. To make a comparison with bass-reflex : you would need a 200 W amplifier to drive a certain woofer in a sealed box, at the same output, you would only need 100 W, to drive the same woofer in a bass reflex box. Sealed will sound tight and deep, but not loud (unless you are pumping some serious watts). If you want loud, there are certainly better options out there.
The whole point is to separate the waves generated by the front of the speaker from the ones generated by the back. It is obvious that absorbing some of the back waves will do some good.
Placing absorbent material on the walls of the enclosure, ensures low resonances. The thickness of the damping material is important, if you need to absorb sound waves of certain frequencies. The back panel is the one who needs this damping the most, because back waves reflect of the back panel, come back towards the speaker and come out through the speaker.
This is a bit harder to understand, but the technical term is isothermal propagation. Pressure and temperature are correlated (for example if pressure goes up, temperature goes up). In our case, we talk about sound pressure. Now, when we add dampening material into the mix, it creates this isothermal environment to some degree. This material, although not a good temperature conductor, it conducts temperature better than air. In this case the pressure drops, which means the velocity of sound drops, which means the compliance of the box rises, which is the exact same thing as making the box bigger. Adding stuffing to your box will translate into 15 % – 25 % volume increase. We are talking about the effects, that happen when increasing the volume, because obviously the physical box size will remain the same.
If the damping of the box is done right, you are looking at up to 15% efficiency increase. Here is how a bag of poly fill looks like.
When people talk about Q, they are trying to describe the damping of the driver, or the whole driver/box configuration. In reality, Q is a composite term, it takes into factor all the mechanical, electrical and pneumatic properties of the speaker/cabinet and describes how it affects resonance. So it actually describes damping in a reverse way. It is referred to as quality factor, but generally accepted that it describes damping.
When Q goes down => damping goes up.
When Q goes up => damping does down.
Qms : Mechanical Q. It describes the damping made by the suspension of the driver : the surround and the spider of the speaker.
Qes : Electrical Q. It describes the damping made by the coil – magnet assembly. When the coil moves through the magnetic field it generated a current which opposes this motion (hence the electrical damping).
Qts : Total Q. This is the number you will need when establishing the desired volume of the box: The formula is : 1/Qts = 1/Qms + 1/Qes.
Qtc : This describes the total Q when you take into consideration the damping of the box as well.
When Volume of the box goes up => Qtc goes down.
When Volume of the box goes down => Qtc goes up.
Qtc = 0.707 : This is the number most people try to reach for, as it gives good transients and flat response with minimum cutoff.
Regarding the value of Qtc, you can strive to get the 0.7 value, and you can’t go wrong. You can go a little up, like 0.8 – 0.9, to get a little more fun sound, which will translate into a few db more on the bass notes (at the expense of transient response). Going towards to Qtc of 1.2 is pushing it, and should do that only if space is an important factor and you need a small box. You should avoid going beyond 1.2, because you will end up with a “one note woofer”. This means it will play a very narrow frequency range, loud (see the graph), and it will overpower the rest of frequency spectrum.
If EBP around 50 or less, then the woofer is suited for sealed.
If EBP > 100 then the woofer is suited for bass reflex.
If EBP is between 50 and 100, then it is good for either closed or bass reflex.
The length of the voice coil is something to consider also, because in a sealed enclosure, the woofer will have a longer excursion than the equivalent bass reflex.
For small woofers (6″ – 8″) Xmax should be 2-4 mm.
For larger woofers (10″ – 12″) Xmax should be 5-8 mm.
When you are building the enclosure, you should really focus on making the box air tight. You can ensure this by applying silicone sealant to all of the joints. If you do this, make sure you don’t place the speaker just yet, because the fumes from the fresh silicone will “attack” the speaker. Make sure you let it rest for at least 12 hours before placing in your speaker.
After figuring out which Qtc you want to hit for, you can find out the volume of the box. Take into consideration that after you calculated the net volume of the box, you should add the volume dislocated by the back of the driver (magnet assembly) , crossovers, bracing etc, so you get the gross volume of the box. Also, if you add stuffing, this will effectively increase the volume of the box, so keep that in mind also. If you are building your first speaker box, then the sealed enclosure is probably the safer bet.
Hello, thank you for your article, very insightful.
However, it is not clear to me how Vas and Vc are different, as according to this article both seem to denote the box volume?
Can you pls. elaborate a bit?
A speaker has a certain compliance or Cms. This is given by the suspension of the driver. Cms is measured in meters/newton. Vas expresses the same compliance of the speaker in terms of volume. Imagine a syringe without the needle. Close up the nozzle with your finger. If you try to push the plunger, you will encounter resistance from the air trapped inside the tube. This amount of air has a certain compliance. If the syringe is bigger (higher volume of air), the air is easier to compress, therefore, higher compliance. So having a high Vas number means that the speaker is more compliant.
Very interresting article thank you! Sealed it is!
Well, the answer is actually inside the article. If you take a closer look at the Qtc comparison chart all shall be revealed :). As you increase the volume of the box, Qtc will go down (0.7 , 0.5 etc). By doing this, you make the “frequency response line” very smooth. It reaches the very low-end of the spectrum. Very good transient response, but not very impressive on the output department. As you lower the volume of the box, you will start to get a peak in the response (as you are increasing the Qtc). Anything with a Qtc above 0.7 will have a peak in the frequency response. The transient response starts to degrade, and the frequency response doesn’t extend as low. However, you get a boost in output. If you keep decreasing the volume, the peak gets so large, that it basically plays only that frequency (“one note subwoofer” as they call it). You will see subwoofer manufacturers which opt for a 0.8 – 0.9 Qtc, because it results in a slight peak in the response, and people appreciate the extra output (and they are more commercially successful). Audiophiles aim for 0.7 because it offer the maximally flat response.
Awesome thank you very much Marius! Now I see it much clearer! I can now read/understand your diagram indeed! Have I calculated correctly, that for my dayton audio 18″ (for my home made 3 way active system, for the lowest flat “audio phile” base in a sealed and stuffed box) I need a volume of 100 liters to reach Qtc of 0.7 at Fs 60Hz? Of course I would love to get a lower Fs of 30Hz but how? Using a pro equaliser? Thanks!
Your calculations are correct. If you want to go lower, you will have to opt for a bass reflex design. A volume of 186 liters and tuned to 34 Hz will result in an f3 point of 39 Hz (f3 is 3 dB below linear response). To tune it to 34 Hz use a 150 mm diameter pipe with a length of 140 mm. Good luck!
Excellent article, thank you! I’m curious, how do these calculations change in a sealed speaker cabinet with multiple drivers? For instance a 2×12 or 4×12 guitar cabinet compared to a 1×12. Thank you!
When working with more than 1 speaker, all of the variables remain the same except for Vas. If you have 2 speakers, multiply Vas by 2. If you have 4 speakers, multiply Vas by 4.
As an amateur, I will humbly add that when calculating internal volume, you have to consider the volume of the driver itself, and possibly subtract this from the calculated internal volume. Big drivers have a considerable volume, and if you start adding several drivers this certainly becomes a factor in the calculations.
This Debu From New Delhi India .
I have a query , when you deal with speakers less then 50 mm cone size how do you then calculate the Vc , as in small units like Amazon Echo Dot etc.
I am designing a small table top Bluetooth Enabled speaker using PUI AS 04004 PR-P driver .
the enclosure for the speaker is on the base side down firing with vents/slots all around .
Dia 82mm x rear height of speaker enclosure is 35 mm. can you give some guidance on this.
First of all, it doesn’t matter the size of the speaker. The T/S parameters dictate the enclosure design. Secondly, you are asking about the volume of a closed box and you are describing a bass reflex. To be honest, when dealing with portable speakers (small boxes), the low amount of air inside the box demand a very long port, and there is not enough room. I don’t know the actual size of yours, and it might work. However, you will find that for most portable speakers, passive radiators are popular choice (instead of bass reflex ports). They do not add more size to the enclosure (like a port does for bass reflex) and they do not blow annoying air.
I intend to build two sealed baffles for professional application using a 21inches woofer.
The internal dimension is 22inWx28inHx22D.
I intend to use the followin….
Can’t find the thiele small parameters of these speakers. Can you provide them?
I don’t even know how to thank you !!!!
Excellent article for Diy beginners like me. Thanks a lot !!!
I like 10¨ guitar speaker that has the following parameters: fs 82.4 Hz; Vas 26 liters; Qts 0.58; Qes 0.5 etc.
Obviously, according to your reasoning expressed in this article, it is not suited for sealed enclosure (guitar speaker) since EBP is around 168. But, I would like to make a sealed enclosure since I really do not care much about bass performance since cut-off below 100 Hz in guitar cabinets are actually desirable. I like good, very good transients, but would not like the cabinet to be too big. Your calculations with chosen favorite Qtc of 0.7 give me a nice, rather small enclosure of 53 liters. Would that work fine? Also, if I go little higher with speaker cabinet volume, say around 60 liters, would that improve transients substantially that it merits increasing the size-weight of the cabinet (I do not like to carry around heavy speaker boxes, that is why I chose a Neodyimium 10¨ guitar speaker in the first place, Jensen Jet Series Tornado 10¨!). Also, if Width of cabinet is given, at 0.43 meters inner width, do other two dimensions have to follow certain rule for proper acoustic behaviour of this speaker cabinet (I used to read something about standing waves and such… )? ANY ASSISTANCE IS VERY APPRECIATED. Sincerely, Sven B.S.E.E. … more importantly, a guitarist… In other words, HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A GUITAR SPEAKER CABINET WITH THESE PARAMETERS AVAILABLE?
Adding polyfill will increase the perceived volume so it will compensate with the volume displaced by the speaker. And yes, in a sealed enclosure +/- 5% volume is not gonna be a noticeable difference.
This is my third question, but it is needed… hope you see that… there is an issue, a controversy of sorts, but a big one indeed, with speaker data given by manufacturer (Jensen Company) of my speaker of choice (Jensen Jet Series Tornado 10¨ Neodymium guitar speaker), as compared to the formula in your article of getting the speaker Total Q (Qts) from Qms and Qes. Namely, when I use manufacturer’s numbers for Qms and Qes given on their Web page (see the link below), in the simple formula that you have in your article (1/Qts = 1/Qms + 1/Qes) to get Qts, I get result Qts of 0.495. But manufacturer states that Qts of this speaker is 0.58! Now, which Qts should I use? Manufacturer’s Qts makes it work, the other one does not make it work, seems to me (I get Volume of the cabinet of 26 liters, which is not too likely?). Where is the catch? Is the manufacturer’s data faulty? Since I wish to use your article as my DEFINITE GUIDE to actually build me a cabinet, it is plainly obvious that I MUST use the correct number for Qts in order to make this build a success… Kindly assist. Thanks!
Well yeah, there is an error in the manufacturer spec sheet. Problem is you don’t know which one is incorrect. For example, Qts might be correct and Qes incorrect, or some other combination.
I know this will be a silly question but, How would you get close to a suitable box design for a driver that did not have required T/S parameters listed? Could you get close by magnet weight for the size of the driver, suspension material ( foam or accordian) etc.
Thank you for the excellent articles and work 🙂 I enjoy reading through them very much!
The real question here is how much stuffing should I have inside and in which shape or form shall I apply it? I’ve got pieces of white polyglass or fiberglass but I’m not sure how much of it and how to apply it inside the box?
1. What’s the recommended ratio of filling relative to the box volume? like 50% of the volume, less or more?
2. Do I need to dampen (line) the box walls internally with some other material that I can stick onto the internal walls (like the standard grey acoustic insulating foam)? Or is this not needed as it’s only required if it were a ported box? Will it muffle the mid-range if I do?
3. Do I need to fluff the white polyglass with my hands rather than it being condensed when I put it in, so it takes up more volume and being more loose?
I appreciate your efforts, thank you in advance.
You will probably have minimal improvements with sound dampening material. Don’t stress too much on the details, just add 50% stuffing and you are good to go. The Qtc will go down a bit, but that’s fine.
Excellent article and website ! I have a question about the stuffing please.
We convene that in a bass reflex box, port losses are negligible and since dampening material is not popular in bass reflex boxes, Qa is minimal as well. Therefore Qt = Qb (Total losses = box losses equal to whatever leakage the box has).
You won’t find Qa in soundeasy but you will find the Qb parameter, which might as well stand for all 3. So if you want to modify Qa, you might as well fiddle with Qb instead. | 2019-04-25T12:26:32Z | http://audiojudgement.com/sealed-enclosure-closed-box/ |
At Virta Health, one of our greatest prides is that our treatment is based on health outcomes instead of platitudes about ‘better health.’ Central to this is the clinical trial based out of Lafayette, Indiana, that has been testing the effectiveness of Virta’s treatment since 2015.
Dr. Amy McKenzie, PhD, has been an integral member of Virta’s research team. She was one of Virta’s first hires, helped launch the clinical trial, and is an ambassador of our research to the broader science community. She was awarded the Young Investigator Award at the National Lipid Association Conference in April, and received similar recognition at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions last week. We are proud of her accomplishments, and look forward to the contributions she will continue to make as a Senior Research Scientist at Virta.
A graduate of The University of Connecticut’s Exercise Physiology PhD, Dr. McKenzie will be responsible for future research strategy. I spoke with her about the beginnings of the Virta clinical trial, the most recent discoveries, and her aspirations for Virta in the coming months and years.
Sarah: Hi Amy. Thank you for the time — I know you’ve been very busy with your presentation at the ADA last week! Before I ask you to share about the results you debuted, can you lay out the beginnings of Virta’s clinical trial for readers?
Amy: Sure! From August 2015 through March 2016, we enrolled 262 patients with type 2 diabetes and 116 patients with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome in a study that would evaluate the impact of the treatment provided by Virta on their metabolic health over the next 2 years. We also enrolled a group of patients with type 2 diabetes who selected to continue the care they were already receiving from their PCPs, endocrinologists, and diabetes education program as an observational comparison. And last year, we amended the trial protocol to extend it to 5 years for participants in the intervention group if they were willing to continue participating. While the components of our treatment are based on decades of research, this is the first prospective, longitudinal study to evaluate the combined effects of these components in the care model we created at Virta.
Sarah: Without repeating your entire presentation, could you tell us some of the key findings from the prediabetes cohort?
Amy: Here’s what I think is most important: The initial studies on the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and the long-term follow ups have given us a lot of insight regarding the key drivers for preventing progression to type 2 diabetes or delaying its onset. In the DPP, participants with prediabetes who regressed to normoglycemia, even transiently when they collected data at 1, 2, or 3 years into the intervention, had a 56% reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In general, we expect 5-10% of people with prediabetes each year to either progress to type 2 diabetes or regress to normal blood glucose. In our study, 82% of participants with prediabetes remained enrolled in the study, which is pretty good considering all of the extra things we ask participants in research studies to do. And, 61% of those who completed one year testing, regressed to normal blood glucose with an HbA1c less than 5.7%. No one-year completer progressed to type 2 diabetes.
Sarah: So far, we have highlighted our 1-year type 2 diabetes health outcomes and cardiovascular risk factor changes, but there are a couple of other presentations our team has done in the last few months. Can you briefly cover some of those findings?
Amy: At the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR), my colleagues Drs. James McCarter and Nasir Bhanpuri presented the estimated pharmaceutical cost savings resulting from the reduced need for diabetes medication with our treatment. Annualized diabetes medication cost for our patients was $4,438 per patient, and at one year, this annualized cost was reduced 46% to $2,329 per patient, with the biggest contributor to that being insulin, which was reduced or eliminated in 94% of participants.
And then at Digestive Disease Week, Dr. Shaminie Athinarayanan and our collaborators, Eduardo Vilar-Gomez and Naga Chalasani, presented on the impact of our treatment on surrogate markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NAFLD is present in about 70% of patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes and it’s associated with increased risk of heart disease and chronic kidney disease. In our study, NAFLD, measured by the NAFLD liver fat score, was present in 95% of our participants with type 2 diabetes. Virta patients had significant improvements in this score, and the prevalence of suspected steatosis was reduced form 95% to 70% at one year.
Sarah: Looking beyond the clinical trial, you also have been leading a Herculean charge with our Virta Patient Registry. For those that are unfamiliar, what exactly is the registry? How will the data be used? Why does it matter?
Amy: From a research perspective at Virta, our goal is to improve health outcomes for patients. Pure and simple. And the reality is that there’s a lot we don’t fully understand yet, so I think there’s a lot of value in gathering initial insights from this observational data and it’s also something we can and should contribute to the broader medical and scientific communities to drive more even research. Our mission with the Virta Health Registry for Remote Care of Chronic Conditions is to utilize data volunteered by patients receiving care at Virta Health for their chronic condition to do just that, to gather insights on the types of patients and conditions we treat, explore ways to improve care for chronic conditions with particular attention to personalization and understanding who benefits most from what, and ultimately, for those efforts to translate to even better health outcomes for patients. We want our learnings to have the opportunity to improve health for all patients living with type 2 diabetes, not just our own, so we plan to share our learnings both in self-published reports and in the peer-reviewed literature so everyone can learn and make informed decisions.
Sarah: What can people expect from our research team in the next year?
Amy: More data! When people discuss our approach to regaining glycemic control that combines nutritional ketosis with continuous care via telemedicine, the first comments I usually hear are things like, “looks promising, but we need more evidence on x, or y, or z”, or “sure, you can do that for a few months, but is it sustainable?”. We want to understand more about all of these things too! So the research team at Virta wants to help answer these questions by contributing evidence to the scientific and medical literature in a way that’s applicable to the real world and everyday life for people with insulin resistance. We are currently submitting a few papers on secondary one year outcomes for peer review like markers of NAFLD and sleep quality, and starting to analyze 2-year data for patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, so watch for those!
Sarah: I personally feel so fortunate to have you on the team, and am excited to see what you will do going forward as a Senior Research Scientist at Virta. Could you share some ideas of where you foresee Virta’s research going?
Amy: In general, I think our research is going to help fill knowledge gaps in the medical and scientific literature and, I hope, serve as a foundation and springboard for other scientists to learn more about how this intervention works relative to their area of expertise and within their patient populations. At Virta, patient health outcomes are at the center of everything we do, so we’ll be working on everything from providing patients and clinicians with the evidence they need to make informed treatment decisions, to learning how we can better serve our patients and what other patient populations might benefit from our care, to understanding the treatment’s impact on cost to both patients and payers.
Sarah: I’ve asked a lot of questions about your work, but not a lot about you. Some may not know, but you were one of Virta’s earliest employees. What initially drew you to our team? And, if it’s different, why are you still with Virta?
Amy: There are two things that drew me to Virta at the time. One, is that I like being challenged and solving problems, and I felt like working at Virta was going to give me the opportunity to work on solving a really big and important problem. And the second reason, is why I think diabetes is a big and important problem in the first place. And that’s because diabetes isn’t an isolated disease. If you have diabetes, you’re not only concerned about diabetes, you’re also concerned about obesity, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risk, your kidneys… And having diabetes and its comorbidities doesn’t only affect you, it also affects the people who care about you. So I want to contribute to a solution for diabetes that keeps people healthy so they can enjoy life with the people who care about them. And why am I still here? Simple, if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I don’t know everything. And since I’ve joined Virta, I’ve learned a lot, but mostly I realized how much more we don’t know, so I’m still here because we still have a lot to understand on our way to helping 100 million people tackle their diabetes!
Sarah: Is there anything else you would want to add about your experience, or is there something else you wanted to touch on?
Amy: Definitely! I certainly didn’t get to where I am today on my own, I’ve had plenty of great mentors and teammates along the way and I owe them a lot of thanks for helping me find a career I was going to enjoy, taking time to help me understand what I couldn’t on my own, and being great role models for the type of scientist and person I want to be. I’ll spare you my mushiness, but I am incredibly grateful for my family, Drs. Jason Sciebek, Susan Yeargin, Derek Kingsley, and Larry Armstrong, and the whole team at Virta for inspiring me, teaching me, and being some of the best mentors, supporters, colleagues, and friends anyone could ask for.
Wonderful Amy, unfortunately Virta is not willing to help me. I am a “young” 75 yr old female who feels Virta would be a great support for me. My A1c was 8.0 approximately 8 years ago. In the past 2 years I’ve lowered it to 6.1 but would like my numbers to be better. When do you think Virta will start accepting people over 70?
We currently aren’t accepting patients over 70, but we’ll let you know if that changes! It is possible that we may be able to change our exclusion criteria. For now, we recommend you explore treatment options with your physician.
Thanks for this. This sounds very promising for a healthy long term solution. Keep up the great work.
How can I enter this program. Is the trial still in effect. | 2019-04-21T14:50:02Z | https://blog.virtahealth.com/future-virta-research-amy-mckenzie-phd/ |

Furman University Scholar Exchange - South Carolina Junior Academy of Science: Building a multi-sensor mobile robot that can freely move, detect human movement, and determine the general shape and position of a human subject to be compatible with an augmented reality headset.
Augmented reality is a recent application of technology that has brought a new world of opportunities. One such application could be the addition of robots to be compatible with an augmented reality headset, which would allow for many new ways of efficient communication and work. One such use of robots along with AR is in military or police applications, such as reconnaissance or survey operations, as they can gather much more information and data and are less likely to be detected than a human. The purpose of this project was to build a mobile multi-sensor robot that could use various sensors to detect and determine human movement, general shape and position. This information would be used in future studies to allow an augmented reality headset to generate a 3D digital marker of where the human subject is located. This would allow a user to scan a subject with the robot, and then see where that subject is physically located in relation to the user, regardless of any obstacles restricting the user’s view of that subject. It was hypothesized that such a robot can be built to the size constraints of 20cmx20cmx20cm using only Raspberry Pi, Brickpi, and Lego Mindstorm related items. The robot was tested on its sensor functions and mobility to determine how well it could detect human movement. After further tests the robot was found to not be able to detect human movement on its own, but could obtain basic information on the location of a human subject.

HOAL: Science Questions – How much Phosphorus and Nitrogen is Moved Through the Landscape into the Streams?
Science Questions – How much Phosphorus and Nitrogen is Moved Through the Landscape into the Streams?
There is a delicate balance between the application of phosphorus and nitrogen as a fertiliser to agricultural land and their harmful effects on surface and subsurface waters. Cost-effective mitigation measures need to target the sources and flow paths that conduct the bulk of the load.
Multiple flow paths (e.g. overland flow, macropore flow, matrix flow, tile drainage) of these substances are studied in the HOAL. A water quality monitoring network was installed. While the high sediment concentrations in the HOAL facilitate the sediment process analyses, they complicate the monitoring of water quality parameters, as they tend to clog sensors. A new device was developed, termed Water Monitoring Enclosure, that allows in-situ monitoring of water quality parameters for highly dynamic, sediment laden streams. This paper describes the design of the Water Monitoring Enclosure.
Autosampling and grab sampling is performed at regular intervals, and analysed for a range of parameters including stable isotopes. Mixing analyses, assisted by tracer tests, have identified the main sources and flow paths in the landscape. | 2019-04-26T14:09:32Z | https://hoal.hydrology.at/research-in-the-hoal/chemistry/ |

Last week, the Pakistan Air Force and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army-Air Force (PLAAF) began joint training exercises dubbed “Shaheen VI” in China.
The exercises began on Thursday and will run until September 27.
According to Xinhua, China’s state news agency, a spokesperson for the PLAAF noted that China had sent a wide range of aerial assets and troops, including Shenyang J-11 twin-engine multirole fighters, Xian JH-7 fighter-bombers, KJ-200 airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, and surface-to-air missile crews and radar operators.
Xinhua added that Pakistan had sent an undisclosed number of JF-17 Thunder fighters and its own early warning aircraft—likely Pakistan’s Shaanxi ZDK-03 K. Eagle or Saab 200 Erieye—to the exercises.
The JF-17 Thunder (known also as the FC-1 Xiaolong) single-engine, lightweight, multi-role fighter was co-developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industry group. The Pakistan Air Force is the only current operator of the aircraft.
The Shaheen series of exercises between the two countries, who are close partners, began in March 2011 and has since gone through five major iterations.
Last year’s exercise, Shaheen V, ran through April. Pakistan and China have increased air force coordination in joint operations in the meantime.
Increased aerial coordination between China and Pakistan could have a range of operational applications, ranging from counterterrorism operations against nonstate groups in China’s northeast to more complex operations during a potential future conflict with India. | 2019-04-24T12:56:28Z | https://thediplomat.com/2017/09/air-forces-of-pakistan-china-begin-shaheen-vi-exercises/ |
We were recently called to rescue 3 kittens who were found at the Eversley Haulage site on a lorry. In fact they were not in the cab of the lorry but on what's know as a "roll on, roll off" part of the truck that connects the cabin to the actual truck bit (not very technical description, I know).
We were told that 3 kittens had been spotted, but the driver could only find 2, and the mum was nowhere to be seen. One of the kittens, (we named Penny), was hissing and spitting and not very happy at all, the other kitten, (we named Tuppence) was very quiet and, unsurprisingly, very scared.
Still no sign of kitten number 3, or mum but then, the next day, we get a call to say that a 3rd kitten had been found. She had somehow managed to hide on the truck, and had been on a trip along the M25 - it is a miracle that she survived.
So we brought her in, and called her Thrupence (of course!).
The 3 P's, were obviously very scared and upset due to the ordeal they had been through but they have now settled and are happy, purry little fluff balls.
All 3 of the kittens have been reserved and are currently in foster care until they are old enought to be moved on to their furever homes.
These kinds of stories never fail to shock or distress us.... we just wish people would contact us, or another rescue if they can't cope with kittens.... we are here to help! | 2019-04-24T06:36:26Z | http://camberleycatsmeow.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-3-ps.html |
It’s no news that starting an e-commerce business in Nigeria is one of the smartest and fastest ways to amass wealth in this 21st century. In a country of over 180million residents with over 90million being internet users could be accredited to the success of e-commerce in Nigeria.
We have variously mini e-commerce business owners in Nigeria making over 8figures in profits with their business. The term “e-commerce business in Nigeria” doesn’t necessarily means you have to have a website like popular Jumia, konga etc.
Having these kinds of notion has made most people believe you need to have a substantial capital in other to run a successful e-commerce business. Don’t get me wrong, this business model is in stages and there’s nothing stopping you from starting small.
Before we proceed to learn how to start an e-commerce business in Nigeria let’s try and understand the concepts of e-commerce in Nigeria.
What is E-commerce & How does it work?
E-commerce is simply a sales transaction that takes place over the internet in other words electronic commerce.
The e-commerce business actually started way back around 1960 when electronic data was introduced into business.
The growth was revolutionized by the rise of Amazon and eBay in the 1980s and the entire story has changed since then.
E-commerce is categorized into six major types with each having its features and attributes.
Business –to – business (B2B): this refers to the exchange of products and services between businesses rather than business and consumer.
Business – to – consumer (B2C): selling of products and services from a business to the consumer. This is the most popular of e-commerce business.
Consumer – to – consumer (C2C): this is the type of e-commerce business in which consumers exchange products and services directly to each other online. This is usually done through a third party platform online.
Consumer – to – Business (C2B): this kind refers to the process whereby individuals make their products and service to be sold to companies. Or an individual that’s rendering a service for a company over the internet. E.g. logo artist or a freelancer.
Business – to – Administration (B2A): business to administration is the business transaction between companies and governments. This could be private companies providing services for the public administration.
Consumer – to – Administration (C2A): finally, consumer to administration is the transaction between individual and public administration. A good example is electronic tax filing.
As you can see, you don’t have to run operations like Jumia and Konga to start a successful e-commerce business in Nigeria.
Since that’s settled, let’s look at this list of business ideas that have the potentials of e-commerce business in Nigeria.
Natural & Organic Beauty Shop etc.
What makes a business an e-commerce business is the ability to transact online! Once you can easily create a small business website around any of the listed business ideas with the ability for potential customers to book, reach or pay via your website then you’re a successful e-commerce business owner.
Now, we’re going to be looking at the various necessary steps that need to be taken in other to have a successful e-commerce business in Nigeria.
First thing first, immediately you decided on what you want to sell or the service you want to render choose a nice and memorable business name for it that no one is using. Once you’ve done that conduct a corporate affairs commission (CAC) search for the name and if it’s available, register your business immediately.
Name search for CAC is usually round #500 but if the name is not available you’ll need to pay for another 500 Naira to search for the name. So, while searching, it’s always important to come up with a unique name. Make sure this name is not similar to any branded company already else it won’t be approved.
Once your name is reserved, you can then pay the actual fee to register it. This is usually around 10k depending on your business.
It is necessary to create a website around your business if you truly want an online exposure for your business. But not everybody might be ready to do that right away and the downside to this is that the name you had in mind for your website might be taken any moment if you didn’t secure it alongside your business name.
First thing first, check if your domain name is still available using NameCheap.com. That is, the name you have in mind for your website. You can also decide if it’s going to end with “dot com”, or “dot ng” etc.
Once you find it available buying it now might be a good decision as it always less than 3500 to acquire a domain name with NameCheap. This way, you can later build your website whenever you’re ready to do so since your domain name is secured.
But if you’re ready to create your e-commerce website right away I’ll recommend you go with BlueHost since it’s one of the best reliable hosting providers out there plus they will give you your domain name for free.
Depending on your business type, a good and solid business plan will always come in handy. Most especially for those that will be selling physical products. This way, you having a ready masterpiece of what to work with will prevent you from deviating from the original plan.
Having your business plan in place will provide a good atmosphere for both business and consumers. At least you won’t venture into the business blind and this will protect you against unnecessary loss.
Since the concept of e-commerce is to transact online then it only a necessity to create your e-commerce website as soon as possible.
Setting up your e-commerce website is more like creating the traditional brick and mortar store, except this time around transaction are done online. This way your website will be easily accessible to a different customer across states in Nigeria or nationwide.
While creating your website it is important you put into consideration the kind of hosting provider you’re using as this will determine how well your website performs online. For this, there no other than Bluehost.
However, the cost of building an e-commerce website in Nigeria depends on the platform you’re using. Using WordPress plus Bluehost can cost less than 80k depending on the package you’re starting with. Another simpler option to this is using Shopify.
Having your products available is the next thing to do. For those that plan on selling digital products and services, they don’t have to worry about this step.
Mini Importation has been one the most popular and fastest way to get started with e-commerce business in Nigeria for those that are into physical products.
And for this step to work, if you’re starting big then it’s recommended to get an apartment to stock your product inventory. If not, you could start by stocking products in your house instead of paying an additional cost to get an apartment.
Additionally, you don’t need to get an office space for now because hardly will any customer comes to buy a product in person from you. So for now, your apartment should be your office and warehouse if possible.
This step is very important. Once you have your products available and before you start running adverts, you should partner with one or two logistic companies that will help with the mobility of your products.
One of the advantages of e-commerce business is that you’re not restricted to any particular location like the brick and mortar store. You should be able to sell to any part of the country with your products reaching your customers as fast as possible.
But mind you, this can only be done through the help of a reliable logistics company. They will be the one to deliver the products and at the same time help you collect cash from your customers if you are running a cash on delivery system.
Below are few recommended logistics company to start with.
You’re simply taking your business to the next level with this inevitable step. The truth is nobody is going to know about your business except you take it to them via advertisement.
The cost of adverts will depend on how big your pocket is. However, spending much on adverts doesn’t necessarily means it going to convert well.
Before you start running an advert for your business I’ll suggest you do extensive research on how to run ads. Having more experience about this will give you an advantage and will also protect you against wasting money on ads that don’t convert well.
If you can effectively engage this network it’s going to be a greater turn over for your business.
Global Audience: one of the benefits of e-commerce business is its huge reach and reception across the national market. Starting one allows the seller to sell across the whole nation without geographical boundaries.
Get Closer to Customers: the e-commerce business model allows you to get closer to your customers. Which will invariably lead to increased productivity.
Reduced Cost of Operation: this will drastically save you money compared to when running the business physically.
Logistic Issues: Not all places are fully accessible within Nigeria, hence creating a set back with the dissemination of products.
Online Payments: Most people prefer paying for products on delivery instead of paying online.
Product Rejection: this could also be attributed to payment on delivery because if products are being paid for online there will be a decrease in the rate of product rejection.
Having a successful e-commerce business in Nigeria is more than creating a beautiful website. You have to take into consideration the kind of products or service that your business wants to offers else you’re no different with the rest of business out there.
Make your business stand out by offering a unique product, not a product that can be easily gotten by the roadside stores. Once your product is unique back it up with a master plan and promotes your business.

Attached are the final season standings, team and individual stats for the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL). In the team offense tab, scroll to the far right to compare each teams actual “Yard per Game” versus the replay to determine which teams are over/under achieving or spot-on, however, ensure the correct total of games played is typed into cell B1 in the Passing tab. Also, compare the replay against the actual league average for all statistical categories (first downs, rushing attempts, pass completions, etc).
Note: The Kick return statistics are low because of an error on my part. After reviewing some old documents created by Mark Zarb, I noticed the following excerpt: When playing with pre-1974 card sets, subtract 5 yards on all kick-offs, unless of course the boards indicate touchback.
Cells highlighted in yellow indicate I was unable to locate the actual statistic. | 2019-04-24T00:32:52Z | https://oguard62.net/standings-team-individual-statistics-2/ |
We pushed deeper into the murk, forgetting about the floating mountain tops overhead. Just one fall from one of those and we could practically say good-bye to our troubles. I suppose that’s why I favored the deep overhangs down those deep valleys–my subconscious telling me to find cover. I have no idea if my vampyric curse could save me from being pulverized, but if it did, we are talking at least a century of regeneration under those boulders.
The purple tentacles become more of a feature than an exception. My bodyguard called them “Mindflayers,” but I think aberration fit them best. Skilled in the use of psionics, they were adept at mind control, and the shield I erected from my mind to Shav’s was just enough to make their attempts bounce off our confused brains.
We exterminated handfuls down there in the belly of the valley, sure to pick up the trinkets as relics of proof so we would be paid. The damnedest thing was the arrival of other hunters. Seems as though others topside were keen on knowing what the devil was going on down here.
I gave the order to leave when a squabble broke out between Shav and another fighter from above. Humans are nothing but fish squabbling over the last shreds of meat from a floating cadaver once the last nibble is apparent. I have no problem in killing humans, however it should be noted that killing nobles brings trouble. I could not tell who was noble and who was not down here in this murk.
The portals sifted us up topside. Moments of oblivion as your body zipped through netherspace and then poofed out in a momentarily unrecognizable environment full of intent and purpose. Seconds later the “Ohu, this is me. This is reality” settles in.
“Sounds like a bonus is due for my employer,” Shav said, stroking his beard.
“If he comes with payment,” I said, sending out a bit of my own psionics, lacing my words with peril.

As if you needed any more reasons to love Chris Pratt, here’s another: He’s challenging fellow Marvel superhero Chris Evans to an epic bet via Twitter fueled by the upcoming Super Bowl.
An enthusiastic Seahawks fan, Pratt, who grew up in Lake Stevens, Wash., challenged Evans to dress up as Captain America and visit the Seattle Children’s Hospital if we win.
And if the Patriots win? Pratt has to dress up as Star-Lord, donning a Tom Brady jersey of all things, and drop into Evans’ Boston charity of choice, Christopher’s Haven, which benefits the families of child cancer patients.
@ChrisEvans OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag.
@ChrisEvans Humiliate my Seahawks? Maybe talk to Brady about deflating your expectations. BOOM! (legion of) You're on sucka. ?
This is an epic battle for the ages. We can’t wait to see Evans humiliated. Go Hawks!

To celebrate the opening of its new Beijing Global Gateway location at the Genesis Beijing building, the University of Notre Dame is holding a series of inauguration events Saturday, October 14, to welcome faculty, students, alumni, families, and partners in China.
Activities will include a panel discussion featuring prominent leaders in business and higher education from the U.S. and China titled, “Building Future Communities,” as well as a performance by the Notre Dame Handbell Choir and a celebratory Mass.
Since 2010, Noble has been building Notre Dame’s academic reputation and network of partners in the region. Notre Dame has forged academic cooperation agreements with a number of leading universities in Greater China, including University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, and Peking University.
Noble and colleagues have developed a wide range of programs for students, including options focused on Chinese language and society, business, engineering, and service learning in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guizhou. Notre Dame students also have additional professional opportunities thanks to programming between the Beijing Global Gateway and multi-nationals such as IBM and Xiaomi. Working closely with China’s Ministry of Education, the Gateway has provided opportunities including training programs for university administrators and scholarships for doctoral and post-doctoral students.
Scholarships for Chinese students who wish to attend Notre Dame are also available, thanks to the Greater China Scholars Program. Since 2011, 58 students from 31 cities across China have benefited from scholarships and academic enrichment programs which are supported by a cohort of Notre Dame alumni, parents and friends. More recently, Notre Dame launched the alumni-funded Greater China Collaboration Grant program which provides funding for faculty to conduct research with scholars in Greater China and share research findings at the Beijing Global Gateway.
The inauguration of the new Beijing Global Gateway location in the Chaoyang District, near foreign embassies and the Central Business District, will further enhance opportunities for collaboration with government, academic, and multinational organizations.
Since its doors opened in May, the Gateway has hosted Fulbright scholars, panel discussions, and meetings between Notre Dame and Balkh University (Afghanistan) as they develop a master’s program in finance and accountancy for Balkh, funded by a USAID grant. In June, nearly 40 Notre Dame students, alumni and parents visited the Gateway as part of the first summer celebration and forum co-sponsored with the Liu Institute for Asia & Asian Studies.
One of Notre Dame’s key partners in its growing Chinese network is Genesis Beijing, a community development project that shares Notre Dame’s commitment to developing intellectual communities focused on serving the common good. Genesis Beijing now houses the Beijing Global Gateway and provides a social workplace complete with public gardens, atriums, and club facilities where Notre Dame can host regional partners, and where there is space to communicate and collaborate.
Noble said the Beijing Global Gateway and Genesis Beijing have a shared vision to connect scholarship, knowledge, and values to the larger society through scholarly engagement and community organization.
“By being located within the Genesis Beijing community, we are blessed to contribute to the community’s intellectual, cultural, and spiritual activities and have access to the community’s art museum, canal-side amphitheater, and regular activities with thought leaders, artists, and community organizers,” Noble said.
At the October 14 inauguration events, Notre Dame will welcome many important partners, including Duan, Robert Liu, founding benefactor of the Liu Institute for Asia & Asian Studies, Rachel Duan, president & CEO of GE China, and Liu De, co-founder of Xiaomi, one of China’s largest private start-ups. The opening will also provide an opportunity to celebrate Notre Dame’s accomplishments of the past seven years and to look ahead to the exciting projects and relationships to come.
The new Beijing Global Gateway has already become a home for collaboration, experience, and conversation. As Notre Dame becomes an even more global university and a leader on the world stage, its productive presence at the Beijing Global Gateway will continue to provide rich opportunities for its scholars and community.
To join the University community in celebrating the Beijing Global Gateway inauguration, please RSVP here.

Beginnings offers post-adoption support for birth parents who have placed their baby for adoption, adoptive families and their children, or adult adoptees.
It is quite normal to have concerns related to adoption. Adoption is unique to each person and it is important that your counsellor understands the issues. Beginnings has experienced, well-qualified counsellors who are able to help you, or can refer you to qualified professionals.
Post adoption counselling is generally offered on a fee-for-service basis.
Adoption, like parenting, is a journey. Questions and challenges will arise, some of them specific to adoption. We are here to help you.
Does Beginnings offer counselling to children adopted through Beginnings?
Yes. Beginnings considers children placed through the agency as part of Beginnings family. There are several developmental ages and stages where a child’s understanding of adoption sparks questions or a need to know more. Beginnings counsellors will be there to help with these transitional times. Adolescents in particular may have added adoption related identity or separation issues that could benefit from meeting with a counsellor who understands adoption over the life time.
Does Beginnings offer counselling to birth parents who placed through Beginnings?
Yes. Birth parents will have the opportunity to continue meeting with their counsellor up to 6 months after placement of their child. Further follow up will be arranged as needed. Counsellors are also available to assist birth parents throughout the first year for with ongoing open contact arrangements.
Most Beginnings birth parents develop a relationship with their counsellor and keep in contact over the years via email, calls and occasional meeting.
Can Beginnings arrange for peer support for birth parents?
Yes. A counsellor can connect a new birth mom with a birth parent who has placed her child for adoption. Peer connections can take the form of one to one, or email contact group, or, small group concentrated in a region. Peer group support is primary counselling model of Beginnings locations in Woodstock, Northumberland and Guelph.
How can parents support their pregnant daughter or birth father son?
Parents need to be non judgemental and offer a verbal declaration of support for whatever their daughter or son decides, then seek out their own support network to talk about their own feelings of disappointment, loss or anger. By articulating clear boundaries of what they will or will not provide, grandparents will add to the information needed for their child’s important life decision. Often parents do not say anything until after the decision is made and it could have made a significant difference to the outcome.
What if parents do not agree with their daughter or son’s decision?
Parents must find a way to manage their disappointment and seek a counsellor to talk about how they will reconcile their lack of control. It is ultimately the birth parents’ decision to make for their child. It is never wise to pressure, coerce, impose or manipulate a decision that is not theirs to make. The consequences for this may not be evident at the time, but will surface in the future.
What if my son claims he is not the father, can we insist on a DNA test?
Yes. Ideally, the birth father pays for this service if he is requesting it. It is in the best interests of the child to have the paternity confirmed if there is any doubt. Beginnings can arrange for DNA testing. It is a simple swab taken from the mouth and sent to a lab. Results are usually back in 7 working days.
What is the role for grand parents once the adoption plan is made?
Parents role is to be there for their son or daughter.
What does open adoption involve?
Open adoption involves ongoing communication and contact between birth parent(s) and the adopting couple, including the child. This can take the form of letters, emails, phone calls, and/ or visits. The amount of contact is negotiated between the parties and varies from one situation to another. Beginnings believes openness is good for a child as it allows him or her to maintain relationships with important people in his or her life; as he or she grows older, openness allows access to information about his or her origins and background and to any other siblings he or she may have.
Will birth grandparents be included in the child’s life in the future?
In most cases yes, but it up to the birth parents how much they want to have their parents involved in the lives of their adopted child. The adoptive families are usually eager to have ongoing contact with all members of the birth parents families. The Covenant agreement can include extended family members in the contact arrangements.
It is an agreement outlining the specific contact arrangements between birth parents and the adoptive couple. The word Covenant means “promise” and implies a commitment on both sides to carry through with the arrangements they are making – for the sake of the child. These agreements are not legally binding, but are considered by Beginnings to be a binding promise to stay in touch.
What is an Entrustment Ceremony?
This is a ceremony that happens at the time a child is placed in the care of an adoptive couple by the birth parent(s). It is an acknowledgment of moving a child from one family to another and honours the role of birth parents in the lives of their children. Each ceremony is unique and reflects what is important to the people attending. Often there is chosen music, a poem or reading, and candle lighting to join the families in their Covenant agreement. Beginnings’ Covenant and Entrustment Ceremony form a foundation for the new relationships created through adoption.
Will my son need independent legal advice?
Beginnings can provide information on the definition of a legal parent, and will speak to birth fathers about their options and rights. If they agree to sign consents for adoption, all forms and papers will be reviewed with him prior to signing. At the time of signing consents for adoption, an appointment will be made with a lawyer familiar with private adoption who will offer independent legal advice and be available for any questions your son may have. | 2019-04-18T23:00:53Z | https://www.beginnings.ca/post-adoption-counselling-services/ |

Do you need to save more money for retirement? There may soon be an app for that, thanks to MBA graduate Carla Harris and her team.
UPDATE: Carla Harris was announced as one of ten winners of the SheStarts People's Choice Awards. She will receive $100,000 in pre-seed funding to develop Longevity.
Carla Harris has been shortlisted for the SheStarts program to support women in tech startups.
In her final capstone unit of her MBA at the University of Sydney Business School, Carla developed an app that has the potential to change the way you retire.
This is how Longevity was born: an app that helps to save money for retirement every time you spend.
Linking your everyday transaction accounts to your superannuation account, the app saves a small percentage of every spend into your superannuation, adding up over time.
“It was an obvious solution to a common problem,” added Carla.
“In the capstone unit, students confront the challenges that truly pioneering companies face,” said Professor Guy Ford, Director of the MBA program.
What is the MBA Business Capstone Unit?
Since completing the project, Carla has continued to develop the app with a team of computer programmers, data and research, and engineering experts.
“I love a challenge,” says the high-achiever, who also balanced her studies with motherhood – raising a baby who was eight-months-old when she started the MBA.
Longevity has since been selected out of over 800 applications to be one of 20 shortlisted for the SheStarts program run by Blue Chilli. The program aims to get more women into the tech start-up world.
“I nearly fell off my chair when I got the call that I was shortlisted,” Carla said.
Carla hopes that the app will empower future retirees, particularly women, with the skills and technology they need to be financially stable. | 2019-04-26T04:29:38Z | https://sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2016/12/07/app-to-change-the-way-you-retire.html |

Pakistan's Privatisation Commission workload has increased substantially this week, with its invitation to corporate and individual service providers to help the government in the privatization of the Habib Bank Limited and with the rescheduling of the opening of bidding for the sale of a major stake in the Pakistan State Oil company – a move which tops the government's broader privatisation agenda.
The technical assistance referred to will include designated chartered accountancy, legal counseling, vetting of reports, identifying and qualifying potential buyers, valuation and reference price determination.
HBL management is also expected to coordinate with the incumbent management to expedite the process of privatization. May 15 is the deadline for submitting notice of interest from potential buyers – and the PO will interview only short listed companies for final selection.
At the same time, the PO is also reorganizing the privatization of the Pakistan State Oil Company, a state-run company that controls 70 percent of the petroleum products business, officials said Saturday.
Pakistan State Oil is one of the best-performing corporate entities in Pakistan. Profits increased five-fold in the six months ending December 31 to 2.06 billion rupees ($35.5 million). It has announced a 60 percent interim dividend for shareholders.
Two Middle Eastern outfits, the Kuwait Petroleum Company and Midrock of Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan's Fauji Foundation have emerged as the three main bidders.
"We have invited all three potential buyers to hold a meeting with the commission," a commission spokesman said. "The meeting is likely to come out with a final date for PSO's privatisation," but suggesting that the bidding would now take place in eight to ten weeks.
The opening of tenders had been scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed to facilitate travel plans of prospective buyers at their request, the PO’s statement informed.
News of the pre-bid meeting boosted PSO's share price on the Karachi Stock exchange to 202 rupees early Tuesday, but late rumours of a possible postponement brought the price back down to 184.20 rupees by the close of trade amid apprehension that the privatisation timetable would be delayed more than two months.
“Investors became jittery when there was no statement from the commission before the close of trade,” said Mohammad Sohail, Head of Research at InvestCap, adding that share prices are likely to go back up once details and dates are published. | 2019-04-26T14:21:02Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/archive/2003/04/200849145241601699.html |

A Washington adviser who advised a Ukrainian political party and collaborated with a co-defendant of Paul Manafort was charged with violating the federal prosecutor's disclosure obligations and is expected to plead guilty on Friday morning, according to court records.
W. Samuel Patten, 47, of Washington, DC, was charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act because he did not register with the Ministry of Justice when representing the Ukrainian opposition bloc from 2014 to 2018.
Patten was charged with criminal information, a type of charge-off documents that are used when a defendant waives indictment and usually announces a lawsuit against the prosecutor. A hearing will take place on Friday before Judge Amy Berman Jackson at the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
5, the company received about $ 1 million for its work advising the opposition bloc and members of that party, including a prominent Ukrainian oligarch identified as Foreigner B.
Patten was listed as Managing Director and Konstantin Kilimnik as Managing Director of Begemot Ventures International, a limited liability company founded in 2015, the Daily Beast reported for the first time. A website for Begemot, which is linked to Patten's email address but does not list the company's customers, reported the Daily Beast.
Patten also reportedly worked in the Oregon subsidiary of Cambridge Analytica parent company SCL Group in the US According to the Daily Beast, who described his work as the development of "microtargeting" technologies by at least one major US presidential candidate he reported from 2014.
Patten has a varied CV. He worked in the oil sector in Kazakhstan from the mid to late 1990s and served as campaign director for President George W. Bush in 2000. He also worked briefly in the State Department under Bush, where he worked as a political advisor to and assisted Iraq Saddam Hussein.
Federal prosecutors accused Kilimnik, along with former Trump presidential president Paul Manafort, of prosecuting Manafort's criminal conspiracy and money laundering lawsuit in the district. Manafort was also convicted this month of banking and tax fraud in Virginia.
Prosecutors with Special Advisory Service Robert S. Mueller III said Kilimnik, a longtime Manafort employee in the Ukraine, had been investigated by US investigators for links with Russian intelligence. He and Manafort are charged with repeatedly contacting two members of a public relations firm and asking them to falsely testify to what the prosecutor at the behest of Manaforts calls secret lobbying.
The indictment was filed by US Attorney General in Washington instead of Special Adviser Robert S. Mueller III. Mueller's team also referred an investigation into the political work of the other Manafort employees, lobbyists Tony Podesta and Vin Weber, to prosecutors in New York.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Patten said in 2017 that he had met Kilimnik in Moscow more than 15 years ago, Kilimnik was an employee of the International Republican Institute, a democracy family affiliated to the US Republican Party. Patten ran the office from 2001 to 2004. "I relied on him," Patten told The Post.
Kilimnik left IRI in 2005 to work for Manafort in Kiev, where he began as a translator for the American consultant and was eventually appointed manager of Manafort's Ukrainian office. Patten praised Kilimnik as a person who helped Manafort navigate the complicated Ukrainian political scene.
Beyond his work as a translator, Patten told the Post Office that Kilimnik "would help Manafort understand the political context and why people do what they do."
Patten said last year that Kilimnik was working for Manafort Ukraine was perceived by its allies and opponents alike as the wisest of American consulting operations in that country.
"I would think that Manafort would have been useless there without Kostya," he said with a common nickname for Kilimnik. "You can not just fly in and talk about the good old days of Nixon, they must have some relevance there."
Patten was born into a gossipy milieu of social climbing and Washington power politics. He is the grandson of the late Georgetown-Doyenne Susan Mary Alsop and can remember that Henry Kissinger knocked him on the head at a party at the age of nine.
Patten told the Post Office in 2014 that a visit from newly-inducted President Kennedy to the Alsop house in Dumbarton Street NW confirmed hours after many celebrations the social significance of his grandmother and step-grandfather, political columnist Joseph Alsop.
The first husband of Susan Mary Alsop was Bill Patten senior. but the son she bore during her marriage – also called Bill – was not Patten's son. The child belonged to a notable British politician, Duff Cooper, with whom she had an affair in the late 1940s.
After the death of Patten Sr. in 1960, his widow Alsop married his close friend.
Sam Patten's father moved to Maine, ran a small weekly and later became Minister of Prisons. Sam was educated in Maine in 1993 and attended Georgetown University.
Manafort, 69, has not been found guilty of any allegation in Washington's case for his political work and alleged attempts to conceal his income from 2006 to 2017. The prosecutors claim that during this time he has washed $ 30 million as a consultant for pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.
The openings are to begin in DC on September 24.

Full-time undergraduate students who plan to leave the University on a temporary basis should request a Leave of Absence. Official leave of absence from the University must be authorized by the Dean of the appropriate college.
In order to affect a leave of absence, a student must submit to the Dean a formal letter, or the appropriate college form, and should then have an interview with the Dean. The request for a leave of absence may be countersigned by the student's parents or legal guardian. The parents or guardians may, if they wish and if authorized by the student, submit the official request for a leave of absence. In consultation with the student, the parents, and other campus offices as applicable, the Dean will determine what issues should be addressed during the period of the leave.
Leave of absence should normally be for no more than a year. When the student feels that he or she is ready to return to the University, the student should request an interview (which may be by telephone) with the college Dean. To guarantee the student's success, the Dean will determine whether the issues that occasioned the request for leave have been addressed. Assuming that the issues have been resolved, the student will then be returned to active status. If the student does not return to the University within the time originally requested (normally no longer than a year), the student will be considered as having withdrawn from the University.

Studies still show that the majority of Americans still see home ownership as part of the “American Dream”. In a 2017 Pew Research Center survey, 72% of renters said they would like to buy a house at some point. If buying a home is on your list of to-do’s, you probably know that preparation is in order. The home buying road map will help in explaining the process.
Interest rates are at historical lows. Historically, the average mortgage rate is between 7% and 8% (since people have been keeping track…since c.1971) Rates have been bumping around the low-to-mid 4’s for several years. These rates drastically increase buying power.
Home prices have decreased (2006 – 2010), bottomed (2010 – 2014), and are rising since 2014. When values are rising, it’s a great time to buy.
There is a small, but good inventory of homes on the market to choose from. More homes come on the market every week.
Buying a home is one of the smartest purchases you can ever make. For generations, many Americans have used real estate as their first avenue of wealth building. Building your own equity over years is one of the smartest and most likely ways to gain wealth, and it’s a very real hedge against inflation.
The process of buying a home is usually not a quick process. That’s why its important to have an experience Realtor® along for the journey. Here’s my interactive “Home Buying Road Map” to put the typical* home buying process in an understandable context. Each touch point is leads to more information on that topic.

Walk-through. Go through the home up to 5 days before settlement to assure repairs were made and the home is in accordance with contract terms.
For most Americans, purchasing a home is their entry to building wealth. It is also the entry to a lifestyle and to stability for a family. We can’t think of anything we’d rather be doing.

“members of an anti fascist organization” is the exact wording used to refer to these criminals as they are involved with stop racism now.
WaPo is a steaming pile of monkey shite.
How did they blame it on Drumpf?
We believe in violence and intimidation to further our political goals.
WaPo is correct. The literal opposite of a fascist is breaking down someone's door and threatening them and their family based on political ideology.
It's also why I cancelled my Amazon Prime account and no longer purchase anything from Amazon.
Think how bad it's going to get when the fascists start pulling this shite.
They just forgot to put quotation marks around "anti". Innocent mistake.
Why were there not arrests made for attempted breaking and entering or home invasion, certainly trespassing? You try that crap here and someone gets their head blown off.
“Antifa” is short for anti-fascist.
They hired a racist Asian girl proudly.
The Wa Po would call the Commies in WWII anti Nazis to make them look good.
I guess you could call Stalin an anti fascist.
He was a brutal, murderous dictator but he was an anti fascist.
ANTIFA has to be the most brazen example of "newspeak" in modern times.
These people have absolutely no idea what a fascist is. Otherwise, they wouldn't be calling the ones rioting and trying to break into peoples home "anti-fascist organizations".
Remember than antifa was chanting " no borders no USA at all".
Let the prog scum try to progslain that shite away while they are breaking the doors or conservatives. | 2019-04-21T16:25:29Z | https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/politics/wapo-calls-those-that-tried-to-break-into-carlsons-home-anti-fascists/80063060/ |
Ancor Marine, part of Power Products LLC, came out with a self-cutting cable tie.
As a jury-rigger, I say “mmm-hmm,” and I’m sure many marine electricians will find these nylon ties (which have a 50-pound tensile strength) useful. A stainless steel razor inside the tie’s receiving end plays the key role. After the tie has been pulled to its desired length or tightness, you simply twist the tail and the razor leaves a clean, flush cut without sharp edges. With no tool required, the risk of damaging whatever you’re bundling is eliminated, Elsner added. The ties come in 8-, 11- and 14-inch sizes.
Power Products held a press luncheon to highlight new products across its seven brands — ParkPower, Ancor, Mastervolt, BEP, Marinco, ProMariner and Blue Sea Systems. David Johnson, the company’s senior vice president of marine and mobile of the Americas, listed some new electrical devices from Blue Sea Systems, and his colleague, Danny Ascencio Hall, later demonstrated them as installed at the show.
The Mini Add-A-Battery Plus is sold with a BatteryLink Charger and is capable of juicing two batteries at or away from the dock. The Mini Add-A-Battery simplifies switching between the two batteries. Bottom line: The product virtually “eliminates the risk of getting stranded with a dead battery,” Johnson said..
Two dual USB chargers — one that fits a 12V charging receptacle — deliver 4.8 amps of charging power and feature “intelligent device recognition” (optimizes charging for Apple and non-Apple devices). It can be used with 12V or 24V systems.
The Mini OLED (organic light-emitting diode) DC Voltmeter monitors 12V and 24V systems with a bright waterproof daylight-readable screen.
Self-cutting cable ties are coming in December. | 2019-04-20T10:43:59Z | https://powerprodllc.com/news/d/TradeOnlyTodayFeaturesNewAnchorProducts |
Small Group Description: A group of people who plan and teach Sunday school on Sunday mornings at Good Sam. The Sunday school program takes place during the morning worship, from about 9:15AM to 10:15AM. Sunday school starts in the chapel as a single group and then splits into two age groups in the classrooms. During the time together, we sing songs and watch a video lesson as well as share about our week. In the classroom, we do a craft project or a puzzle page and further discuss the lesson. Teachers usually teach one week a month and can help in the gathering-time in the chapel or can teach in the classroom. We also have positions as snack coordinator and supply person.
Meeting Time: Sunday School Teachers meet periodically as a group for planning purposes and to support one another – times vary. | 2019-04-23T06:28:35Z | https://goodsam.info/connect/service-teams/sunday-school-teachers/ |

Getting started with the Aldi $500 3d printer.
Jarmon came in tonight with Aldi’s $500 3d printer. In less than an hour, he had set it up and was printing the default reboot model on the supplied SD card.
The verdict in the space was that, for the money, we’re impressed. It’s a pretty solid, well built machine that was very easy to use. We liked that it can operate autonomously and that the resolution was good.
Good work Jarmon – you made it look like child’s play. | 2019-04-21T02:11:08Z | https://gctechspace.org/2016/02/getting-started-with-the-aldi-500-3d-printer/ |
