Most of us believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it is "God's will," "karma", or "fate," we want to believe that an overarching purpose undergirds everything, and that nothing in the world, especially a disaster or tragedy, is a random, meaningless event. Abraham's Dice explores the interplay between chance and randomness, as well as between providence and divine action in the monotheistic religious traditions, looking at how their interaction has been conceptualized as our understanding of the workings of nature has changed. This lively historical conversation has generated intense and engaging theological debates, and provocative responses from science: what of the history of our universe, where chance and law have played out in complex ways? Or the evolution of life, where random mutations have challenged attempts to find purpose within evolution and convinced many that human beings are a "glorious accident." The enduring belief that everything happens for a reason is examined through a conversation with major scholars, among them holders of prestigious chairs at Oxford and Cambridge universities and the University of Basel, as well as several Gifford lecturers, and two Templeton prize winners. Now, as never before, confident scientific assertions that the world embodies a profound contingency are challenging theological claims that God acts providentially in the world. The random and meandering path of evolution is widely used as an argument that God did not create life. Organized historically, Abraham's Dice provides a wide-ranging scientific, theological, and biblical foundation to address the question of divine action in a world shot through with contingency.

I'm on the board at our local campus/community station, and we're looking for a station manager! If you have media and/or leadership experience, wouldn't mind living in one of Canada's nicest mid-size cities, and love radio, this might be a great fit. Deadline for applications is March 15. | 2019-04-20T11:17:01Z | https://jobs.metafilter.com/1585/Station-Manager-CFRC-1019-FM-Kingston-Ontario |
The ARVA Plume is one of the lightest functional avalanche saftey shovels on the market. With a 46cm (18.25 inch) carbon fiber shaft and a sizeable 24.5cm x 25cm (9.6in x 9.8in) aluminum scoop, the Plume will actually move some avalanched-hardened snow. But since it weighs right around 400 grams, you might not feel like you're carrying a true rescue device.
Full length carbon fiber shaft is strong and light, and is capped at the end to keep the snow out.
1.5mm (0.06in) thick anondized aluminum blade will take some abuse while saving you grams.
Simple one piece shaft clicks into the blade quickly so you can begin digging without delay.
T-grip handle gives you leverage regardless of whether you are left or right handed.
Strategically located holes in the scoop can be used to build an anchor or rescue basket.
Improved with aluminum inserts for extra strength at the joint.
Update for 2018/19: The Snow Plume gets a reshaped blade which includes a kick platform and increases moveable snow volume.
Notes Redesigned with a longer handle and aluminum inserts for strength.
Bottom Line Superlight yet functional shovel.
Fits ok in race packs like the Camp Rapid Racing when the middle divider is partially unzipped. However, it is tough to fit into the Camp Skin pack, and some of the Dynafit packs, so beware of that. We also have had one that had a couple of carbon splinters, but the others have not, so perhaps a little more lacquer or QA would be helpful.
As far as shoveling, I try to carry a larger 300-320 cm probe and guide style shovel on bigger missions, but when training and racing, the weight of this is awesome, and I feel a lot better than carrying a lexan or plastic Camp Crest shovel (which honestly should not be allowed in racing in potential avalanche terrain).
Will the handle on this shovel fit into a Camp race pack?
Hi Zach, yes the shovel and blade fit into both the old Rapid 260s and the newer Rapid Racing packs. It's approaching the limit of the packs, so you can see a bump near the top from the handle within.
Overall: As the lightest available full-size metal-bladed shovel for backcountry companion avalanche rescue, the ARVA Plume definitely rates Five Stars. Might not be a good choice though for snowpit work in “firm” conditions given possible durability concerns. And the relatively long single-section shaft might not fit inside many packs.
Background on product familiarity: I bought the Plume toward the end of the 2013 season, so I haven’t used it much, but regardless, I think it should be reserved for emergency rescue use only.
First, the first impressions out of the box: Despite the impressively light weight, the blade is full size for companion rescue, and the shaft is pretty much the optimum length (even though the two nearest-weight competitors skimp significantly on their shaft lengths). The full-size plastic “T” handle is fine for gloved hands (and might work okay too for mittens).
The shaft end is nicely plugged and inserts reliably into the shaft. But I noticed some looseness in the connection on my 2012-13 model. This prompted me to check some of my other shovels, whose varying looseness I kind of noticed for the first time. Still though, something about the combination of the carbon fiber shaft and the loose fit concerned me more than on my other shovels. But after wrapping some tape around the base of the shaft, the fit is now just right: secure yet still very easy to assemble.
Second impressions, in use: The single-section shaft and full-size blade are perfect for shoveling. But the long shaft might not fit in many small packs. And the “neck” on the blade might also lead to packing complications. Many of my fellow NSP and AIARE avalanche instructors prohibit carrying shovels on the outside of a pack. For me, any setup that is secure yet readily accessible is fine, whether inside or outside. Usually a shovel shaft is easy to lash securely to the outside of a pack, but not a blade. So given the target demographic for an ultralight shovel like this, confirm first that you can carry it securely yet accessibly in your pack.
Third impressions, for long-term durability: The blade material seems relatively thin, and the neck weld is relatively short. For backcountry companion rescue with good technique (i.e., chop then lift, not pry!), I think the Plume should be fine. But for snowpit work that entails forcefully bashing your way through numerous nearly impenetrable crust layers – an unfortunate specialty of our “Arctic Maritime” avalanche climate – then I would be concerned about long-term durability from such cumulative abuse. If you are fortunate enough to tour exclusively in relatively soft snow, then you can probably rely on the Plume for all your shovel work. But otherwise, I would take the Plume only for when my sole intended purpose for a shovel is emergency rescue. | 2019-04-18T19:07:20Z | https://skimo.co/arva-plume-shovel |

In this post we will discuss how to generate a sine wave modulated from different PWM signals. These technique it helps us to make pure sine inverters or to generate sine signals with different frequencyes.
As we know(from previous posts) some pins of arduino can generate PWM signals at high frequencies, so we will utilize this and adapt for sine equation. Let’s assume our frequency is 50Hz mean the time period is 20ms. So 10ms is half cycle period. In those 10ms we need to have many pulses with different duty cycles starting with small duty cycles, in the middle of the signal we have maximum duty cycles and finish also with small duty cycles.
To generate a sine wave we will use two pins one for positive half cycle and one for negative half cycle. In our post for this we use pins 5 and 6 that means Timer 0.
For a smooth signal we choose phase correct pwm at a frequency 31372 Hz-see previous post.
One of the biggest problem is that how we calculate the necessary duty cycle for each pulse. So, because our frequency is f=31372Hz the period for each pulse is T=1/31372=31.8 us, so number of pulses for a half cycle is N=10ms/31.8us=314 pulses. Now to calculate the duty cycle for each pulse we have y=sinx, but in this equation wee need degrees so half cycle has 180deg for 314 pulses.
For each pulse we have 180/314=0.57deg/pulse. That means for every pulse we move forward with 0.57deg.
Because it’s unpleasant to calculate each duty cycle by hand below it’s a small program that calculate the duty cycle between 0 and 90 deg( on serial monitor) and between 90 and 180 deg is in the mirror.
First value is 1 because we want to reduce the dead time betwen half cycles of sine signal.
To write the duty cycles we will use OCR0A and OCR0B for timer 0(pins 5 and 6), that means for one half cycle OCR0A will be equal with every component of vector myPWM and for other half cycle OCR0B will do that-see the post with Timer 0.
With the program below we generate phase correct signal at a 31372 Hz and 100 duty cycle(is between 0 and 255 on Timer 0).
But we want to alternate pins for each half cycle and make a variable duty cycle for each pulse. For this thing we use another timer(Timer 1) in CTC mode with interrupts. We generate a signal with the same frequency as frequency of pins 5 and 6 and after each pulse we change the duty cycle(values from the vector) with an interrupt. At the end of the vector we change pins(half cycle period) and start over.
An interrupt is a part of a program that pause the loop function and execute another part of a program at a very specific time and after that start from where it was.
For this application we use a interrupt that is enabled when Timer 1 match with the OCR1A value. To change the duty cycle at every pulse on pins 5 and 6 we must generate interrupts with a 31372Hz (to enable one interrupt at the same time with an pulse on pins 5 and 6).
To generate that interrupt at every pulse we must set Timer 1 in CTC mode and for that we use TCCR1B register to make WGM12 =1 and CS10=1(no prescaling), OC1A must be set in toggle mode in TCCR1A register(COM1A1,COM1A0,COM1B1,COM1B0)see waveform generation mode bit description for Timer 1.
Now we must calculate the value for OCR1A to generate a 31372Hz signal. For that we use the formula from the datasheet with a smal modification, number 2 dissapear fOC1A=fclk/N(1+OCR1A). Explication is that the formula with number 2 is for pwm and to have a frequency to a signal, the signal must be high and low and we wait two counts until compare match, one count before signal became low and one count before signal became high again(picture below). At interrupts when timer hits the compare match value the interrupt is generate, so number 2 dissapear.
The value of OCR1A is determined from OCR1A=(fclk/fOC1A*N)-1 and OCR1A=509.
So Timer 1 start counting until reach OCR1A=509 then activate the interrupt with a frequency 31372Hz.
To enable interrupts we need to set the OCIE1A=1 in TIMSk1 register and use ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect) (more details about interrupts here and here).
To be sure there is no problem with interrupts we will use cli() ( stop interrupts) and sei()(enable interrupts).
In ISR function we set the OCR0A and OCR0B with duty cycle values and change this values according to vector, also at the finish of each crossing of vector we change the enabled pin.
Before sine wave we must see if it is everything ok so we have alternate the pins at a stable duty cycle OCR0A and OCR0B equals with 128.
As you can see we have in vector 314 elements and the program only 313 because at last we have the transition between pins, and on the oscilloscope we have a better frequency.
This image from oscilloscope has 5ms/div, so you can see that each signal has a 10ms period.
As you can see the output signal is a pwm signal with variable duty cycle and after the low pass filter(R=47ohms and C=22uF) appear a half sinus form.
To have a full sine wave you need to use a H bridge and command it with these two signals (before filter).
we obtain a full sinus wave like from a H bridge.
In the image above the red signal is from pin 5 , yellow signal is from pin 6 and the green one is the “minus operation” between the other two.
Again, with the program above(with a variable duty cycle) and a mathematichal function we have obtain the signal above but with a H bridge you can obtain a pure sine wave and you can use it in pure sine inverters.
At last the frequency on this application is between 49.94 and 50.02 Hz, in the image below is only on channel 1 because the software of the oscilloscope can’t display the frequency of the “math signal”.
To make an update to this post next is a 60Hz signal.
Before the main program below is the program to generate values for duty cycle(with some differences from the first-it will generate all the values from zero to zero).
Now the main program will consist 260 elements because at last we have the transition between pins, and on the oscilloscope we have a better frequency.
The green signals are the others two combined.
In this picture is presented only a half cycle because i have used only one low pass filter(i had only one capacitor) and you can see that the resulting frequency is 60.02 Hz.
The result are better than in the previous example because i have used film capacitor(1uF) and not electrolitic for the low pass filter ( R=220 ohms).
On my oscilloscope i have obtained a frequency at 49.9 Hz.
Hi , thank you for this very very good tutorial , if I want to put the frequency of 60 Hz which should be the value of OCR2A ?? Thank you in advance.
When we calculate the number of pulses we have N=10ms/31.8us=314pulses for 50Hz.For 60 Hz the period of this signal is 16.6ms and for half duty cycle is 8.3ms.
Now N=8.3ms/31.8us=261pulses, so the only thing you need to change is the number of pulses and the duty cycle of them. In the vector you should have 261 elements(with different values from the our example) and in the ISR where appear 313 you must have 261(or 260 if give you an more precise frequency).
Thank you sir for your reply, is what it is inside of these braces I have to put the 261 Elements ??
Yes but i repead with your values. You can use the first program and change x=x+0.57; with x=x+0.83; because 180/216=0.83 and from serial monitor obtain the half of this values other half is in mirror.
Sir if I make a UPS 120V 50 Hz, is that the 50 Hz will be a problem because the frequency is 60 Hz for 120 v and 50 Hz for 240V ????
Yes you must have the same specification as the machines you want to power or the grid. Be aware that is a danger voltage i don’t have any responsibility if something go wrong!!!
Try to understand all the aspects of the project.
I’ve uptated the article and in the bottom you will find the program for 60Hz(at results is only a half cycle because i have had only one low pass filter).
Again i have no responsability if something go wrong!!!
When you finish the project maybe you’ll share the experience and the results.
Around 1uF(i have had three in paralel with small capacities(total 1.02 uF)) and a 220 ohms resistor.
Be aware that for transistors you should use the pwm signal not filtered!
In the H bridge the input signal must be pwm, the filter is mounted after the H bridge, i repeat i haven’t build such a device, search more information about SPWM inverters!
And for this project is more suitable a LC low pass filter.
Why not, i see it work for that project.
Hello sir. thank you for share this knowledge. I try this soft with an arduino mega 2560 and only work using the pins 4 and 13. I try also with a attiny85 but it does not compile. Can it work with the attiny85? or just can’t? Thanks.
I haven’t worked with attiny but from specifications it has the Timer 1 with just 8 bit and OCR1A in the program has a 509 value a lot higher than 255 max value for a 8 bit timer, so i don’t think it will work on attiny.
Recently i have updated the post with a program for pins 9 and 10 which use OCR0A=63. You can try this program for your attiny85 to see if it is working.
Hi sir i can try to upload this coding in ARDUINI UNO.campiling is good but not upload in aurduino.
i can simulate arduino uno with coding in proteous but no any change in pin5, and pin 6 both pin still neutral and pin 12 change only.
so you can’t upload the program to arduino uno???
and for proteus i’ve an oscilloscope on pins 5 and 6 and they work perfectly.
Thank You very much for a helpfull toturial!
To create 1*KHz sine wave , Which capasitor and resister can be used in the LP. filter .
I can now create the PWM pulse put can’t get a fine sine wave! How can we know which RC Circuit is the best to the frequency.
For the capacitor and resistors values i used an online RC low pass filter calculator or, there are formulas for this kind of filters.
Hope that help and sory for late response!
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.I need a 1KHZ sine wave with Arduino.How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
First of all sorry for late response.
In the second for this frequency arduino is a little to slow and maybe you will not be satisfied by result.
If in the program from post i’ve used phase correct pwm here i’ve used fast pwm for 62500Hz. Also the array contain only 31 elements so the resolution is not great.
Also beacause arduino can’t generate negative voltage you must know that, with this signals you must enter in a hbridge to obtain a sine wave.
The filter in this case is a RC with R=470ohms and C=0.1uF polyester.
i am making dc to ac inverter. am is this sinewave is ok to fed to the gate of h bridge.
Yes, but you must move the filter after the h bridge. In the bridge must enter an pwm signal.
Sir, How to generate on pin 9 and 10?
At the end of the article i have posted (before the video) a program with a sine wave at 50Hz from pins 9 and 10.
What you mean “to control the voltage”???
I mean that, if the DC input voltage decrease or increase this will lead to decrease or increase the RMS output voltage of the inverter and also if the output Load decrease or increase this will lead to increase or decrease the RMS output voltage of the inverter because the look up table only at one case. May question is that how can you adjust or regulate the output voltage regardless the input voltage and load variation.
It is a very good question but i don’t have the answer(i don’t know). I would let the sine part unmodified and on the input of the inverter you can mount an regulated dc-dc convertor or if you use the pull-push technology maibe there you can control the output voltage(again i don’t know about push-pull technology).
Thank You very much .But I need just one stage (Inverter) to produce sinusoidal output voltage for reducing the size and cost.
a) look up table 1 for output voltage 180V to 190V.
b) look up table 2 for output voltage 190V to 200V.
2) Is it possible to use sine function instead of using look up table especially when using Atmega such as Atmega238p (Arduino Uno) or Atmega2560 (Arduino Mega).
can this work on digispark? can it have variable frequency 25-100hz?
I see that this digispark use attiny85 and i have never use this device. I know that attiny has only 8 bit register(OCR1A=509 and 8 bits=255) so with the first program won’t work, but i have updated the post with a program for pins 9 and 10(on arduino uno) which use OCR0A=63 and this maybe will work on attiny.
I have created a single phase sine wave. But how to feedback output 220v used adc. Can you help me? Send me sample code?
From what you wrote i don’t understand what you want.
Please give me more details about what you want to do to see if i can help you!
I used H bridge PWM to generate sine waves. I want to change the amplitude of the sine wave (50hz constant frequency). How do I change the ?
i am not doing the H-Bridge, i like have a full sine wave PWM modulation at the one pin reference GND, How does this code modify to?
Keep the circuit configuration as same as what you did. Could you modify the CODE make both of PIN 5, PIN6 as full sine wave instead of half wave, one of them has 90 degree phase shift?
To generate a full sine wave on a pin you must generate a negative voltage for the negative half duty cycle of the sine wave.
I don’t know if something like that is possibile with arduino.
Sorry i couldn’t help you!
Could you move X Axis from 0 to middle of 5V, cycle positive from 2.5V to 5.0V, negative from 2.5V to 0V, this whole picture will be full wave.
Sorry, I am afraid this topic is suitable here. However I did read your ?site, the technology and your skill seems fully opening.
May I ask you? Is this site representing research agency? School? Manufacturing? forum?
It’s a small blog with electronic projects that are in my area of knowledge.
can you explain where does the “63” come from?
Like in the first example when the interrupt is triggered by timer 1 and it has a 31372Hz frequency, OCR1A is 509.
For the example where timer0 is for interrupt i have used the same formula OCR1A=(fclk/fOC1A*N)-1, where instead of OCR1A appear OCR0A.If the OCR1A was equal with 509, beacause the timer 0 has only 8 bits it’s maximum is 255 so i have used a prescaler N=8.
So if you make in the formula OCR0A=63 and N=8 the frequency obtain is 31372 as we want.
does this equation is mentioned in the source code? or can we calculate it with the code above?
sorry for being a newbie here..
Thanks for the posting, it was awesome!
Could you add another code which is soft start. In other word the sine wave frequency increases slowly from 1Hz to 50Hz(60Hz) few seconds?
sir, i wat to make the frequecy adjustable by plugin in variable potensio meter(analogread)..how to modify this code?
For the moment i can’t help, and i say tht because i have tried to do this but the result are not good enough. To modify the frequency is necessary to modify the values from the array and this will affect the output sine wave. Sorry this thing is over my knowledge.
Is there a way code can maintain output supply for a given battery voltage range?
Can anyone please help me, with what I have to change, if I want a 10 Hz, sine?
I`ve calculated the new sine values (and these are a lot).
Hi. As I understand your concept is working with fixed tables for generating the frequency – as explained above, e.g. 261 elements for 50Hz, 314 elements for 60Hz. Do you see a chance to work with variable freqencies, and in doing so having the possibility to fine tune the frequency lateron (e.g. with a potentiometer)? I would very much appreciate your comments and / or some example code.
To create such a project arduino must calculate the values from array very fast and i’m afraid that uno is a bit slow for that and also generate the pulses. I don’t know if an arduino due can do this.
Sorry i couldn’t help you because it is a bit hard that it seems.
hello sir, your articles really helps me a lot.
but whenever i tried to simulate all the codes that uses pin 5 and 6 output in proteus, i get no single pulse other than a straght line, except the code that uses pin 9 and 10 as output that gave me the half sine pulse. pls what can i do sir? as it needs to work before i can place it in pcb layout.
i don’t know what is the problem in proteus but the images from the post are from an oscilloscope and in my case worked very well.
How can we get OCR1A=509?
Hey Man, thank you for the good work this is really helpful. I am having a problem though with using this code on the Arduino Mega 2560 (ATmega2560). I tried the same code as the one above but I can’t see anything on the oscillioscope.
Hello! First, I love your post!
Second, I have designed and built a tripple H-Bridge circuit which is controlled by an Arduino Nano. (Atmega328) I use all the PWM pins – 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 to control hi & low of each phase. I can vary the frequency, but outputting a square wave makes the motor very choppy.
Now I would like to adapt your code to generate the sin waves exactly as you have above, but with three phases that are 120 deg apart from each other. I’m not expecting to vary the frequency at this point. 50 or 60 Hz is fine initially. I’m just wondering if there’s an easy way to generate the same signal 120 deg and 240 deg offset from the signal you’ve already created on two of the PWM pins.
I did the full sine wave output on one pin with this code!
Can this code upload to ATTiny44?
Hello sir, thank you for sharing this article.
Is there any way in which you can control when to start the generation of pulses. I am doing an inverter and I need to adjust the phase of the grid to the phase of my inverter therefore the best way to it is to start the PWM parallely with the grid . | 2019-04-21T00:08:04Z | http://www.eprojectszone.com/how-to-generate-a-sine-wave-from-arduino-or-atmega-328/ |

To counteract long term sequelae from stroke, ultrarapid diagnosis and treatment, high quality multidiciplinary in-hospital care and optimal long term rehabilitation is required. In this study, the investigators are moving the essential first diagnosis and treatment out into the community close to where the patient live, thus shortening the all important time from debut of symptoms to thrombolytic treatment improving the prognosis of stroke patients.
Stroke is an acute, potentially mutilating disease. To counteract long term sequelae three factors are essential: Ultrarapid diagnosis and treatment, high quality multidiciplinary in-hospital care and optimal long term rehabilitation. Initial diagnosis and treatment has up to now been completed within the hospital domain. This study will change that: moving the essential first diagnosis and treatment out into the community close to where the patient lives thus shortening the all important time from debut of symptoms to thrombolytic treatment. We will operate a local computer tomography (CT) service in the hands of community based non-specialized health care personnel (MD and nurse) acting under direct telemetric guidance from on call hospital specialists. Thus, the investigators will show that by combining current technological advances in real time video communication with an acutely well functioning cooperation between the community and hospital health service personnel the prognosis of stroke patients is improved.
Intervention group: Stroke patients investigated with rural CT scanning at HSS, Ål. Patients living in the municipalities of Hol, Ål, Gol, Hemsedal and Nes.
Control-group: Stroke patients with similar transportation time to hospital, but no access to rural CT scanning. Patients living in the municipalities of Nore- and Uvdal, Vang, Øystre and Vestre Slidre, Lesja, Vågå, Lom, Dovre, Skjåk and Sel.

Abstract— With the intensified market competitiveness, it is essentially important for Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation to measure the retailers’ perceptions of services. A questionnaire based on service quality model was developed, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to observe how demographic variables perceive among different service items and importance-performance analysis (IPA) was used to identify strengths and weaknesses as a whole. The results show that gender, business type, and bulk purchase category are the three major demographic variables that could have great impacts on retailers’ satisfaction. In addition, IPA depicts that fifteen items are the major strengths and should be maintained in order to gain competitiveness in the market. In contrast to major strengths, stacking services on delivered goods and empty bottle recycling services were identified as two major deficiencies from retailers’ viewpoints. Therefore, these two major weaknesses should be placed in the highest priority for improvement. The combination of MANOVA and IPA has not been seen in the research. The major advantage of the combination is to allow the management to observe if different demographic variables impact different services and, at the same time, to identify the major strengths and weaknesses of provided services for retailers based upon both perception and importance.
Index Terms— Multivariate analysis of variance, importance-performance analysis, service quality, customer satisfaction.

Persistently low inventory is defining this year’s housing market and contributing to slower sales, especially in the western region of the country, a report found. But here’s the silver lining for homeowners and sellers.
A study found that the annualized return on home sales in the nation’s 100 largest metros ranges from 2 percent to 14 percent. Here’s a look at the metros that top the list. Hint: Homeowners in the Northeast stand to gain the most.
A recent housing and mortgage market report looks at a “simple but powerful fact” that’s impacting the housing market today. What is the significance of this factor, especially in a market that is seeing a rapid rise in home prices?
Though mortgage credit access has expanded over the past three quarters, one aspect of the market is still lagging, according to a report. Which is that area?
Aging Baby Boomers and the Housing Market?
Accounting for 46 million homes, the baby boomer generation is beginning to enter the age when many leave the housing market. Here’s what a Fannie Mae study found on who would take the place of these aging homeowners.
Why Don’t More Millennials Own Homes?
A new report found that the homeownership rate for millennials was lower than for generations past. While the reasons are many and varied, here’s what the researchers recommended to tackle this challenge.
Young Americans choosing to marry and have children later in life may be contributing to a lackluster homeownership rate, but they are doing one thing that has the potential to boost it in the future.
Chattel loans are the most popular finance product for manufactured housing customers, but research suggests why this may not be the most cost-effective loan for these borrowers.
What if There’s Another Housing Crisis?
Whether another housing crisis lies beyond the horizon is yet to be seen, but researchers at the New York Fed set out to answer the question of just how vulnerable the market is if there is a crisis looming ahead. | 2019-04-19T07:20:11Z | https://themreport.com/author/krista-franks-brock/page/3 |
Cash flow is key to the success of any business, and the late payment of debts all too often has a crippling effect.
The process of debt recovery should start by making sure that your terms and conditions of business can be clearly understood and are incorporated into all contracts with your clients. If this is the case, we can send a Letter before Action to the non-paying party on your behalf for a simple fixed fee. If this party does not respond, we can then issue court proceedings, again for a fixed fee.
If there is still no response, we can obtain a judgement for you and take the necessary action to enforce the debt, involving bailiffs, sheriffs or any other type of enforcement as appropriate to the debt. Please feel free to call us to discuss your individual debt recovery requirements.
See our Debt Recovery Pricing page for more information about the potential costs associated with this. | 2019-04-19T22:11:26Z | https://www.coles-law.co.uk/services/business/debt-recovery/ |

Commission for Water Sustainability of the International Geographical Union (IGU) invites you to the conference Water sustainability in a changing world, 11th - 14th June 2019, in Bucharest, Romania. Ongoing global climate change, population growth, urban sprawl, land use modification and rapid development of economic activities are some of the most relevant facets of the transformations affecting our planet in the last decades, with significant impacts on water resources. These changes have led to alterations of the quantitative, qualitative and ecological features of the aquatic environment, threatening the sustainability of water resources. Meanwhile, extreme hydrological events, which appear to have increased in frequency and magnitude, have caused noteworthy human, economic and environmental damages, sometimes catastrophic.

As in the recent publication of the IPCC AR5 report, flood risks have been again highlighted as one of the most perceivable indicators when it comes to the understanding of climate change impact. Research on flood risk has never been ampler, yet we still witness the growing causalities of severe flooding around globe on a yearly basis. The stark resemblance of the consequences between the two catastrophic flooding events in both Japan and Indonesia 2018, exposes a bitter reality that there are still knowledge gaps where both the academia and the practitioners need to fill, with no exception for even the developed world.
Continuing from the successful series of previous IMA Conferences on Flood Risk, the IMA is planning its 4th International Conference on this topic in 2019 to bring together engineers, mathematicians and statisticians working in the field. The conference intends to be used as a forum for participants to meet and exchange their views on important technical issues, new and emerging methods and technologies in assessing flood risks in a world that is being altered by the climate change and moving towards an uncertain future. The emphasis will be on new developments in mathematical modelling methods, statistical techniques in assessing flood risks, especially on quantification of flood risks with a nonstationary climate and modelling uncertainty. Methods and application of assimilating new data from cutting-edge new type of observations will be among the topics for discussion. The conference will be of interest to flood defence practitioners; flood defence managers; statisticians, mathematicians, civil engineers.
American Meteorological Society (AMS) committee on Radar Meteorology and Local Organizing Committee in Japan welcome academics from a broad range of disciplines, including radar technologies, numerical model, satellite remote sensing, hydrology, signal processing, and atmospheric science on any aspect related to radar meteorology.
This conference merges up to three unique satellite conferences into one major event. It has been the practice of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology (SatMetOC) Committee (organizers of the 23rd AMS Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography and Climatology Conference) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT; organizers of the 2019 EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference) to hold joint conferences approximately every six years, most recently in Vienna (2013), and previously in Amsterdam (2007) and Paris (1998).
The event is co-organized by the AMS Committee on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology, EUMETSAT, and NOAA and hosted by the American Meteorological Society.
The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss mainstreaming nuclear power as a low carbon energy source and its role in combating climate change.
The mathematics of climate change is one of the grand challenges of 21st century. Atmospheric phenomena range from large scale monsoons and jet stream meanders with spatial scales of thousands of km’s and time-scales of months to years all the way down to individual cumulus clouds formed by turbulence with spatial scales of 100 meters and time-scales of minutes. This workshop will help develop the mathematics necessary to advance our understanding of how to efficiently and accurately link these physical processes. Improvements in this "physics-dynamics" coupling is the major obstacle to improved accuracy of climate models.
We are pleased to announce the 2020 Sun-Climate Symposium, which is sponsored by the Sun-Climate Research Center, a joint venture between NASA GSFC and LASP at the University of Colorado. The format for this symposium consists of invited and contributed oral and poster presentations in several themed sessions. We encourage your participation and hope that you will share this announcement with colleagues.

A. is almost 3 years old!! And you know what he likes best? Sleeping over at Grandma’s! He stays over for a day and takes over grandma’s bed. So I thought, why not find him a sleeping bag? Grandma’s won’t let him sleep on the floor though, but still, a sleeping bag sounds pretty nifty, right?
While on my search for the perfect sleeping bag I came across Artistic Sensations who does not only offers sleeping bags but also anything you might need for your kids’ room! From nurseries to a teen’s room, they’ve got it.
Kim, mother and owner of Artistic Sensations, gave me the amazing opportunity of reviewing one of their sleeping bags! I did not choose the fabric so I was wondering what it would look like.
Packages are a big deal at our house so when the sleeping bag came in the mail we were all onto it! And you should have seen the look in A.’s face when he saw the sleeping bag coming out of the box!! His eyes lit up and he was so excited (after I unrolled it, of course).
J. only watched and once he saw it was a big deal he decided to join in the fun! He decided to play with the pillow, which is his now. He has taken over and he takes it with him everywhere. So picture a 1 year old boy walking around the house with two Mickeys and one pillow! It is pretty cute if I may say so!
So, as you can see on the photos, the sleeping bag has a Firemen theme which is awesome since A. loves fire trucks which he calls “wee-oohs”! The sleeping bag is reversible. Ours has Dalmatians on one side and Firemen and fire trucks on the other side.
The sleeping bag was a hit! J. loves it, A. loves it, even Scratch loves it! It has been a few times now that I’ve found him sleeping on it!
We couldn’t be any happier and satisfied with our new sleeping bag which we have also used as a comforter. Gotta love things that can be used in more than one way.
I truly recommend Artistic Sensations’ sleeping bags. And maybe you are looking for a comforter for your little girl or a nursery bedding set for your baby, they’ve got what you need! Worth the look.
Find the sleeping bag and many more products at Artistic Sensations website.
Find Artistic Sensations in Facebook and Twitter.
Disclosure: I received a sleeping bag for review purposes. No other form of compensation was received. The opinions stated are my own and were in no way influenced by Artistic Sensations. | 2019-04-25T08:29:29Z | http://frompdxwithlove.com/6586/journal/artistic-sensations-sleeping-bag-review/2011/ |

What does this publication ‘Companies to Inspire Africa,’ mean for Nigerian businesses?
Nigeria has been going through a difficult economic situation over the last two to three years. It looks as if the country is now coming out of it. But what this publication really shows is the strength of companies across the African continent, particularly the biggest contingent coming from Nigeria. It shows that there is hope and it shows that there are companies that are doing good work.
It shows that there are companies that are managing to succeed in spite of all the challenges that you find in Africa. These are audited companies, these are companies that have been scrutinized, and yet they have come out on top. For me, the biggest thing I would say is hope, excitement and the fact that we have a good story to tell as Africans.
What’s your assessment of businesses globally and Nigeria, in particular?
Well, in the face of turbulent economic environment that has equally taken the toll on global emerging markets over the last few years, Africa’s corporate sector has continued to flourish, with high growth companies helping to drive the regions’ economies.
Industries like technology, communications, financial services, manufacturing and agriculture are at the centre of this growth, not only providing employment and opportunities for Africa’s young and growing populations but also boosting taxable revenues for governments.
However, as Africa’s market continues to grow, it becomes even clearer that there is, in fact no such market. But for FTI, our multi disciplinary team can offer support across the business life cycle tailoring our services to match the clients’ specific requirements helping to build strong relations with prospective partners, government, communities and other stakeholders.
How can Nigeria manage the poor perception using public relations?
It does not only pertain to Nigeria. I work across the African continent and I have worked in many of the countries that have the same challenge of public relations. Governments just need to realize that communicating to their populace and them being able to be understood in terms of legislation, regulation and the systems is necessary.
There is need to have professionals do the job. As a law, many of these offices have a public relations officer so it is not by mistake that they have that. If you look in many western countries, what they have is an internal public relations officer and then they also have the external public relations officer who assists with the various programmes that you have to execute.
Sometimes, they assist but sometimes the person on internal communications also helps out in the external communications. There are different combinations that can work. But I think slowly as we as a continent grow, and get to know a lot more different things, we can also change.
What are the peculiar challenges faced by Nigerian businesses with regard to communication?
I don’t like taking Nigeria out of Africa because the challenges that you face here are not that different to my own country of Uganda. For instance, instability of power means that the business costs are much higher and if you are competing internationally, there is no way you can do it because your cost is much higher.
So whether it is power, whether it is in an environment that is fully regulated or the regulations are not yet in place, these are some of the challenges. However, these challenges are not only being faced by Nigeria, they are also faced by many other countries on the African continent. I think there is need to ensure that there is a conducive environment for businesses to operate whether it is taxation or regulation.
How will the affiliation with Caritas benefit companies such as the ones listed to inspire Africa?
For me the sort of companies to inspire Africa are all potential clients at some point. We must look at them like that. As these businesses grow, there will be need for our services whether it is communications, whether it is public affairs, they would want to use consultancy services.
So, that means that while we are happy that the publication is there, we are also hoping and thinking that some of them might want to use our services. So that’s the way in which I see it.
What informed the affiliation with Caritas?
We are a global firm that works with different companies. We have four thousand seven hundred employees working in 29 countries. The reason why you have partnerships locally is because you can’t always be on the ground in everything and sometimes even if you are on the ground, you will have specialism you may not be able to meet may be sitting in London, New York or Washington .
So we have a wide circle of partnerships across the African continent and so Caritas falls within that. We have been working with Caritas on quite a number of clients and businesses that are pertaining specially to Nigeria.
Why did you choose Caritas among several other agencies?
Caritas is not the only firm we have ever worked with in Nigeria or we work with in Nigeria. But Caritas in the context of the work we do in Nigeria has shown that it has the ability to execute the assignments to the level that we are able to feel comfortable and meet international standards.
We are a global firm so at the very least, what we look for in a partnership with local consultancies is the competence to deliver to the level at which our clients want. Caritas falls within that group. | 2019-04-23T16:41:18Z | https://leadership.ng/2017/05/07/fg-should-fix-energy-sector-to-stimulate-smes-operations-kibazo/ |

I’m an RA at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. We were back to campus early for training before spring semester 2002, and it snowing hard outside. Everyone on staff was pretty much bored as we could not go anywhere because of the snow that was coming down that evening. So we decided to play “FLASHLIGHT TAG“. | 2019-04-23T21:02:49Z | https://reslife.net/ra/fun-on-the-job/ |
Anatoly Fyodorovich Dobrynin (Russian: Анатолий Фёдорович Добрынин, 16 November 1919 – 6 April 2010) was a Russian statesman and a Soviet diplomat and politician. He was Soviet Ambassador to the United States for more than two decades, from 1962 to 1986.
He attracted notoriety among the American public during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis at the beginning of his ambassadorship, when he denied the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba although, unbeknownst to him until days later, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had already sent them and the Americans already had photographs of them. Between 1968 and 1974, he was known as the Soviet end of the Kissinger–Dobrynin direct communication and negotiation link between the American presidency and the Soviet politburo.
Dobrynin was born in the village of Krasnaya Gorka, near Mozhaisk in the Moscow Oblast, on 16 November 1919. His father was a locksmith. He attended the Moscow Aviation Institute and after graduation went to work for the Yakovlev Design Bureau. He entered the Higher Diplomatic School in 1944 and graduated with distinction.
Dobrynin joined the diplomatic service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1946. He later joined the secretariat of the ministry, working for Vyacheslav Molotov, Dmitri Shepilov, Andrei Gromyko and Valerian Zorin. He was appointed deputy secretary general at the United Nations in 1957 and returned to Moscow as head of the foreign ministry's department of the United States and Canada in 1960. Dobrynin was appointed as Soviet Ambassador to the United States in 1962, and he had been the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps since July 1979. His tenure lasted until 1986.
Anatoly Dobrynin had the unique experience of serving as Soviet Ambassador to the US during the terms of six US Presidents (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan). The Cold War rivalry made his position one of the key elements in Soviet Union–United States relations, such that between the Soviet Ambassador to the United States (in Washington) and the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union (in Moscow), most diplomatic business channeled through the former. Dobrynin's regular contacts with the US State Department resulted in him being granted his own parking spot in the State Department garage until 1981, when President Reagan revoked that privilege.
Dobrynin developed an especially close relationship with Henry Kissinger, with whom he often met and dined with up to four times a week. They had a direct line to each other's office; they exchanged gifts, shared inside jokes, and even met each other's parents.
In 1971, he was elected to the Central Committee of the Communist Party (CPSU). After his long term as Ambassador to the United States, he returned to Moscow in 1986, joining the Secretariat of the party and leading the international department of the CPSU Central Committee for two years. At the end of 1988, he retired from the Central Committee and served as an advisor to the Soviet Presidency.
He attended the December 1989 Malta Summit that formally marked the end of the Cold War. He was given the honorary rank of Russian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in 1992.
Anatoly Dobrynin, a talented and memorable figure, professional of the highest calibre and legend of Russian diplomacy has left us. His name is associated with a whole epoch in Russian and global foreign policy.
There can be no overestimating Anatoly Dobrynin’s personal contribution to resolving the Cuban missile crisis and normalising Soviet-American relations.
His outstanding abilities as a negotiator and analyst earned him the respect of both colleagues and opponents, and his goodwill, deep knowledge and wealth of life experience won him the respect and liking of everyone around him.

Speech is a common challenge for people living with Late Onset (LOTS) Tay-Sachs, Sandhoff or GM1 diseases. It can affect all aspects of enjoying a full and active life. Ways to help including working with a Speech language pathologist and reading Tips for Improving Communication, from NTSAD.
Problems with communication vary in nature and severity from person to person. Although there are commonalities, no two people with LOTS are exactly alike. As the disease progresses, the variability continues. Many people talk so quickly their words run together, while others drop the endings of their words. Whatever the problem a Speech Language Pathologist can help.
If you have LOTS, the following list summarizes problems that you may experience at different stages of the disease. In many cases, you may experience the same areas of difficulty throughout the course of the disease, often with increasing severity over time.
If you are affected with LOTS, a speech-language pathologist can be helpful at all stages of the disease. In the early stages, a SLP can assist with problem solving and developing strategies to overcome communication challenges and help you continue to live a more full and empowered life.
Early intervention and involvement with therapeutic professionals is best because you can learn compensatory strategies more successfully during the early stages of LOTS and can then apply them throughout the course of the disease.
A SLP may recommend use of augmentative or alternative communication devices and techniques, which can be as simple as a word/picture board, or more complex, such as an electronic device that speaks for you.
For example, the SLP might work with you and your family to create a word/picture board tailored to your environment (whether it be a private residence or a long-term care facility) or flexible enough to be carried around. If an electronic device might be beneficial, the SLP, will evaluation your interest and motivation to use it, and will help make it easily accessible.
It is very important for individuals with LOTS to seek speech-language therapy in order to address speech issues and maximize their ability to express themselves and communicate. Speech-language therapy can also help you address swallowing problems and help prevent respiratory infections caused by aspiration.
How to Find a Speech Language Pathologist?
Generally your treating physician provides the referral. The SLP will coordinate with your overall health care providers and may possibly be covered by your medical insurance.
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) provides an online directory of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Programs. Their searchable database contains listings of more than 7,000 programs that employ audiologists and speech-language pathologists who hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from ASHA.

The Foolish Optimism Working Group are on tour from 11 October - 4th December 2018.
We are taking the film and the conversation about mental health to communities around Scotland.
The Foolish Optimism tour is a series of workshops across Scotland, during which we will bring the film and the conversation about mental health to as many communities as we can. Each workshop will be run by a few members of the Foolish Optimism Working Group and the exact format of the workshop will depend on how and where the participants have been gathered.
To let young people know that they are not alone, and give them a platform and a methodology to talk openly about mental health.
To gather stories and experiences from around the country to feed into the next stage of the project.
We will be updating the website regularly with details of the tour dates that are coming up, and stories from dates which have happened already. Keep an eye on our blog for updates! | 2019-04-20T10:22:55Z | https://www.foolishoptimism.org/the-tour/ |
After a nine-year run as art director at a local advertising agency, Dannielle felt she could do more to inspire her clients and make a greater impact as an independent designer. Thus, in 2007, was Sleeping Giant Creative born—with the belief that a smaller, more focused team can have more meaningful and significant impact for small- to mid-sized organizations, within more cost-effective budgets. She personally handles all concept and art direction, all the while standing avidly by her mission to make the world a prettier place. And with over two decades worth of experience in the biz, she’s managed to beautify a good chunk of the world she’s come into contact with. On a business card/website/print media level, of course.
The ultimate “Jill of All Trades” (it’s funny because Jill is her middle name), Courtenay has her hand in a little bit of everything…except making things look pretty. She leaves that to Dannielle. She’s obsessive-compulsive about organization; the oil in the cogs of all our projects, keeping everything running smoothly, efficiently, and on time. Courtenay has a proven ability to provide innovation, enthusiasm, and the forward-thinking leadership needed to take our business to the next level. As the main point of contact for most of our clients, she’s also likely to be the cheerful (usually) voice on the other end of the phone when you give us a call.
Kyle writes the pretty words to go with the pretty designs. In fact, she wrote these very words you’re reading…right. Now. With over a decade’s experience in business, technical, grant, and creative writing, as well as an extensive background in language arts and fine arts and artsy things in general, she’s become quite adept at finding that perfect balance between accuracy (boring) and expression (fun!). And she’s dedicated to bringing the Oxford Comma BACK. | 2019-04-21T20:40:34Z | https://sleepinggc.com/team/ |
AusCERT, Australia's largest information security conference, dominates an extended Patch Monday podcast this week, with the latest on Stuxnet, the insecurities of internet routing and the drama that started with a Facebook hack and ended with a journalist being arrested.
I've selected just three AusCERT-related stories for the podcast. For more, see ZDNet Australia's complete AusCERT coverage.
First, Stuxnet — the worm targeted at Iran's nuclear program last year. It's the most sophisticated cyber weapon ever developed. Security analyst Eric Byres, one of the world's leading experts in protecting critical infrastructure, believes that we'll see Son of Stuxnet, a less sophisticated copycat malware, in as little as a year. He also believes that the "air gap" — physically separating critical infrastructure networks from the broader internet — won't be the answer to this emerging threat.
Second, internet routing. There are problems with the protocols used to route traffic around the internet, as we explained on Patch Monday in November 2010. Routers trust other routers to tell them what's going on, but mistakes happen. Geoff Huston, chief scientist at APNIC, goes one further, denigrating this process mapping by rumour. "If you get bad players, how do you tell who's lying?" he said. "Our vulnerability is horrifying, that in the face of determined malicious cyber warfare you won't have an internet tomorrow when it happens."
Third, Christian Heinrich's demonstration of a Facebook privacy hack at BSides Australia, which used as its target the Facebook account of another security researcher's wife. That in itself raises ethical questions. But subsequently, a journalist who reported the story was arrested, and his iPad was seized by Queensland police.
Peter Black, who teaches internet and constitutional law at Queensland University of Technology, explains the Australian laws that apply.
Adam Palmer, lead cybersecurity adviser for Norton and former US Navy JAG prosecutor, provides a US legal perspective.
Ty Miller, chief technology officer of Pure Hacking, explains the boundaries of Ethical Hacking.
Sean Morrissey, chief executive officer of Katana Forensics, a digital forensics firm specialising in iOS-based devices like iPhones and iPads, explains what can be done with an iPad in just two days.
Colin Jacobs, chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia.
Running time: 59 minutes, 55 seconds. | 2019-04-18T21:19:07Z | https://www.zdnet.com/article/stuxnet-routing-hacks-and-a-seized-ipad/ |
In the early days of manned spaceflight, the United States found itself playing catch-up to the Soviet Union, from the first artificial satellite in orbit (Sputnik) to the first man in space (Yuri Gagarin). Gagarin earned to milestones - first human into space and first human to orbit the Earth. Alan Shephard was the second human into space, but the Redstone booster wasn't powerful enough to push the Mercury capsule into orbit. It would be John Glenn, on the US's third launch, and the first using a modified SM-65D Atlas booster that would push Glenn's Mercury spacecraft into a stable orbit. That was February 20. 1962.
Revell wasted no time producing a model kit to commemorate the first American into orbit with the release of Everything it "Go" later in 1962. This kit quickly became a classic and while it has been reissued a few times over the subsequent decades, it made its last appearance in 1998 after John Glenn returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.
Fast forward two more decades and was one Revell of the assets of a hobby distributor's bankruptcy, seeing that brand and many of its assets picked up by a German investment company and centralizing operations in Germany. The warehouse full of 'classic' Revell kit molds was acquired by Atlantis Models, and they've already begun the process of producing kits we haven't seen in decades including Everything is "Go".
When this kit was originally released, it was far too complex for a young modeler such as myself, and by the time it was first reissued, I wasn't doing much modeling as I had my hands full with my active duty assignment and spending weekends helping to restore a 1:1 scale B-17G. I finally did acquire a few of the kits in the 1990s, but they were put away for a rainy day. Chuck Holte built this kit a few years ago (look here).
This reissue by Atlantis retains the look and feel of the original kit. Molded in light gray styrene, this kit is presented on five parts trees and protected inside two sealed bags. These bags are essential as some of the tiny parts had come loose in shipping, but are safely accounted for. For a tooling that is over 50 years old, the kit looks surprisingly great. There are hints of mold flash here and there, but I've seen more mold flash from much newer molds than this. If you look carefully at some of the parts, such as the main deck, you'll note a hint of sink marks, but these are easily filled.
The kit represents Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral, the only facility at the time set up for manned space flight using the Atlas (the Redstone launches used Launch Complex 5). What comes in the box is a simplified version of that facility and what is notably missing are the gantries. Where the SM-65 ICBM is stored horizontally with its warhead in place and its tanks partially pressurized, the launch vehicle is assembled while the booster is vertical and one gantry has the crane to hoist the capsule and escape tower up into place and allow technicians access to the vehicle during assembly and checkout. The other gantry provides the swing-away arms for last-minute fuel and ground communication links prior to launch. Neither gantry is here, though there is a trailer/erector that is used to transport the booster to the launch pad. This isn't a criticism of the kit or the kit designers. You can see from the parts in this box that the basic launch stand and ramp are quite complex, and adding gantries would have made this kit overly expensive and complex to build. You only have to look at Revell's 1/144 Space Shuttle kit with Launch Tower to see how quickly a kit can escalate out of control in terms of cost and complexity.
As you handle the parts, you'll note how delicate the various handrails are and it is amazing that even though these are too large for 1/110 scale, Revell was able to achieve injection-molded rails this fine 50+ years ago. There are some fantastic photos of Launch Complex 14 with the spacecraft on the pad online, so you can see how the colors should be applied and weathered to achieve that look.
This is a fun kit, and thanks to Atlantic Models, you can build this moment of US spaceflight history without paying those collector prices.
With thanks to Atlantis Model Company for this review sample! | 2019-04-26T13:36:41Z | https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/atl/kit_atl_h1833.shtml |
Homer (once again) realises he has a high threshold for pain, which Moe takes advantage of by convincing Homer to become a boxer so that he can be his manager. Things are going well until Drederick Tatum enters the equation.
Another great sport-based episode that gives us a new side of Moe, as well as some early signs of latter-seasons Homer (booooourns). | 2019-04-24T21:55:11Z | https://www.podbean.com/site/EpisodeDownload/PB97F783SGH9F |
Suzanne Wilke pulls up to her dog grooming store and exits her white Pathfinder with an exuberant wave and a giant smile on her face. She walks indoors and is immediately greeted with a barrage of barking dogs and friendly smiles. She picks up a chair and suggests we talk outside. “It’s too nice to be inside.” As we make our way to the storefront, we are greeted by multiple friends and customers picking up or dropping off their furry loved ones. Wilke greets everyone with the same friendly demeanor.
Wilke, who turns 60 in December, is a cancer survivor and owner of Bark Avenue Omaha, a grooming and daycare center for dogs. Her business is expanding, servicing 60-100 dogs per day. She is a rare breed whose ethics come from hard work and determination. Not satisfied with a mundane routine, she keeps herself active. “I hope to always keep that mentality, to stay busy enough where I don’t really have to worry about staying young,” Wilke says.
Her passion for dog grooming started at a young age. When she was 14, she started helping out at her aunt’s grooming shop. “There is just an art to it,” she exclaims. “My brain clicked, and it just came naturally to me.” So it would only make sense that from then on Wilke would follow her love for dogs and eventually begin her own business.
After a few years of her apprenticeship, Wilke was no stranger to physical labor and eventually left the plumber’s union to begin a more promising job as a Union Pacific Railroad freight welder.
She smiles and explains some of her duties. “I welded hopper cars and did physical labor down in the shops of the Union Pacific Railroad.” Wilke continued to work at Union Pacific until 1988.
Unfortunately, in 1991, Wilke was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma, a rare malignant tumor. Wilke battled her way to make a full recovery only a year later. With a rare cancer, treatment was never easy. “They really didn’t know what to do for me.” However, she knew that there was something more. “I’ve always sat back and tried to understand what my purpose was. There’s got to be a purpose for me to be here.” After recovery, Wilke continued to work part time grooming dogs, but in 2000 she decided to open Bark Avenue.
As time progressed, Wilke maintained a healthy lifestyle both mentally and physically. She was in a position to do what she loved and make a living at it. However, in November 2015, Wilke suffered from a stroke that affected her speech and ability to walk. “It took me from November until the end of March to feel like I could get everything the way I needed it.” Much like other situations in her life, Wilke took this head on and conquered it. She shows no signs of health problems only a year after her stroke.
Today, she still grooms dogs on a daily basis and exercises every day. “There are all kinds of things we do in our lives that we feel passionate about,” says Wilke, who also enjoys camping, riding motorcycles, and four-wheeling.
Michelle Vilak, a good friend of Wilke and manager of Bark Avenue, says, “(She’s) the hardest working woman I have ever met. She’s inspirational and my best friend.” After spending an afternoon with Wilke, truer words could not have been said.

The condo comprises half of the third floor of a six-unit building off Yonge Street. It comes with a huge, private rooftop terrace and in-suite elevator access.
The building is quiet and private, according to the agent. There are no noisy renters or barking dogs to deal with.
There’s a reason for the lack of barking dogs: a no-pets rule. But, with only 12 owners and a five-member condo board, it may be possible for a determined buyer to get a special dispensation for a cat or two. | 2019-04-26T02:22:33Z | http://blog.myhomefinder.ca/Toronto_Real_Estate/condo-of-the-week-1-9-million-for-a-mirror-lined-hoggs-hollow-suite-with-a-rooftop-deck/ |
The collective student Paramedic grievance (lodged in April 2016) has not been upheld.
This means the panel has not agreed to address the delays to the student pathway – student paramedic progression into band 6 is not protected and the Trust has also refused to apply pay parity to the SEMT role.
UNISON has been advised by the panel in the outcome letter to work in partnership to resolve these issues. The grievance was raised due to a failure to address the issues in partnership over many months, followed by a ten month delay and a campaign to get a hearing. A week before the hearing we met with the Chief Executive and the Director of People and Culture to see if there was a partnership solution and a resolution was not forthcoming.
We are due to release the independent review of bullying, harassment, discrimination and casework shortly and given the above, it’s incredibly disappointing that another very delayed grievance has not been resolved supportively for the staff involved.
We will be discussing how to progress this issue and updating members as soon as we can. | 2019-04-19T09:15:34Z | https://putbacktheheart.com/2017/02/23/collective-student-paramedic-grievance-not-upheld/ |

My Ultimate Guide To Lighting Your Bedroom post went down a treat with a lot of you last week and it’s also brought in a few enquiries as to how to go about lighting up your little one’s bedrooms. Hence today’s post, where I’ve also included some lighting inspiration. You may even want to pinch a couple for your own spaces.
Obviously, a little more thought needs to be applied from a safety and practical viewpoint when it comes to choosing lighting for children’s bedrooms. They’re multifunctional spaces AND they’re learning the dos and don’t’s. Mainly the later, and my only advice is to be strong and you’ll get there eventually!
Natural light is essential to any space but it’s even more important with children’s bedrooms and playrooms. You’ll need to make sure their room receives as much natural light as possible so that they and YOU can move around safely, especially when they reach the Lego stage!
For grey days and evening play, ensure overhead ambient lighting, whether it is in the form of a pendant or spotlights, is sufficient to illuminate the room so they can go about their daily activities such as play and dressing.
TIP: If you install a dimmer switch or smart bulb with dimmable capabilities, you’ll be able to create some wind down time to their day.
If they’re fortunate enough to have a larger size room you could highlight their play areas with hanging pendants like the one above from Urban Cottage Industries, which will provide enough light for them to play safely.
Choosing the right window treatments can help with the amount of light that enters the room. Whether you choose curtains or blinds, (or a combination thereof) ensure that they that don’t block natural light coming into their room.
TIP: Keep curtains well drawn back during the day to let as much natural light into the room as possible. Likewise, make sure curtains meet in the middle when closed. Badly fitted curtains and/or blinds prevent you from being able to control natural light levels entering the room which is essential for nap and bedtime. Children’s sleep can be easily disturbed by natural light. You’ll want them to sleep for as long as possible and not be up at the crack of dawn or not be able to go to sleep during lighter evenings. If not for their own good, but for your sanity!
Creating the right ambience at night-time can be helpful with the winding down of the day. Choosing gentle lighting can help create a cosy atmosphere to their rooms. Dimmable bulbs help here, as does layering the lighting with wall or table lamps. If you’re into your technology and creating a smart home you can also choose LED smart bulbs that you can control and automate by wireless technology.
TIP: With very young children safety is key to the lighting that you choose. Low Watt or LED bulbs are ideal for night lights and from a safety point of view are cooler to the touch and for your pocket, are energy-efficient.
Lampshades offer a decorative feature to your little one’s rooms. If choosing one for the bedside opt for a wooden base to avoid breakages. They also help prevent glare from bare bulbs. The lighter the shade the more light shines through.
This artistic, but fun shade designed by Fab Funky Home decor is definitely one for the dog-loving child and I’ve met and know many who are. Who said art is just for the walls!
What I love about children’s lighting design is that with a little bit of creativity you can really add some character and set your children’s imagination on fire.
If I could turn back time, I’d definitely have snapped up this beautiful sleepy moon wall light for my children. The endless capabilities of creating a wonderful scene around this friendly moon make my mind boggle. It’s available from Hartendief who are based in the Netherlands. They ship to the UK but you will need to add a UK wire after purchase. They also sell the wall light, bear and stars decal as a bundle.
Use lighting to tie in colour schemes without being too stylised to help create a beautiful setting for your little ones. This wall cloud lamp diffuses a soft and warm light and is perfectly adapted to a child’s room. The cable automatically detaches from the lamp, in order to prevent the object from falling down which will give some parents peace of mind.
Another way to highlight a space and create a cosy corner is with some LED Fairy Lights. These from Cable & Cotton are completely customisable so you can mix and match your colours to suit the decor. Perfect to gently light their den like above, or if you’re concerned about safety, hang them higher to decorate a dark corner or adorn a shelf or two.
I loved reading Miffy to my children when they were little and couldn’t resist this rather larger than life Mr Maria Miffy light. It has everything going for it and is completely child-friendly. Everyone loves a friendly face and Miffy is a household name in Holland where he was created. He is here, out of the children books, in the form of a cute lamp that showers a mildly white glow of light into the surroundings when switched on. It’s hard to get floor lamps that are kid-friendly, that won’t topple over. Which makes this extra-large replica of Miffy perfect for adding some lighting interest at floor level. It is stable on its wide base and completely safe for use. You can adjust it for the desired brightness and even use it as a night lamp too. It never gets hot so children can cuddle and touch it freely.
This gorgeous white rabbit night-light is great for bedsides or perched on a shelf, or windowsill if space is tight. It’s handmade from durable child-safe moulded plastic and has a wonderful quizzical expression. Its head is moveable so he can listen to the bedtime story and provide companionship when it’s time for sleep.
If you’re worried about wires and little ones, then consider opting for battery operated lights. This Moon Silhouette Night Wall Light uses batteries that can provide up to 60 hours of continuous soft light. When you switch this light on it illuminate for 6 hours, before switching off and automatically switches back on at the same time the following day.
Your child’s bedroom or playroom doesn’t have to be all plastic and shiny surfaces. If you’re looking to create a unique space that’s on trend there are some fabulous lighting choices available like this wooden Cactus lamp. Use it to create a reading nook or as a night-light or for them to cuddle up with their favourite teddy. Perfect for quiet times and adding an indirect light source. The lamp will bring just the right amount of brightness into the kids’ rooms for some downtime.
The Memory Balloon ceiling light will add an element of fun, colour and feature lighting to your child’s bedroom or playroom areas. Perfect for adding another lighting layer at ceiling height this time. It’ll provide interest and liven up their spaces.
Children like to spread themselves out when their drawing and creating so give them more space by utilising clip-on lights. They’re’ brilliant for providing children with task lighting say on a shelf above a desk.
TIP: Smaller clip-on lights are also great if your child has a mid to high-rise bed where no bedside table is available. Go for one with LED bulb as they’re not only energy-efficient, they’re cool to touch and don’t emit heat.
There are some innovative designs available too like this pen pot with a movable light source that you might even want to steal for your own desks.
And finally, you just can’t beat a bit of Neon lighting or in this case a version thereof. It’s fun and offers a warm glow to ANY room let alone the kids! This LED-light is an energy-efficient and durable version of the popular neon light. It is made of plastic and can be used safely in kids rooms. The light operates with a built-in adaptor and an ON/OFF switch. Easy to hang on the wall or place on a shelf.
So which one are we going to pinch for ourselves?
On a final note, always choose lighting that is age appropriate and provides suitable functionality.
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are and thanks for stopping by! | 2019-04-22T02:23:33Z | https://theinterioreditor.com/lighting/childrens-rooms-lighting-tips-ideas/ |

Money Or Wedding Gifts? What Can You Ask For?
If you’re from a Greek or Italian family, the issue of asking for wedding gifts is unlikely to arise. Marry in the UK however and the question of gift etiquette arises.
The Greeks take a practical view, pinning money onto the bride’s dress at the wedding reception and in Italy it’s common for the bride to be given little parcels containing money.
So that solves that problem then.
The chances are the two of you have been living together for a while before getting married and you are probably quite well equipped with kettles, toasters, bed linen, china and all the other traditional gifts brides and grooms receive.
In fact what you could really do with is some money to help with a) the mortgage b) paying for the wedding c) paying for your honeymoon.
So what’s our advice on this front?
First off, asking for money is a bit tricky. Different guests will have different budgets and whilst £50 can buy a memorable wedding gift the giver may not feel that a donation of £50 is going to make much difference to your finances.
Also, people may want to give you ‘something’. A gift that you’ll keep and use throughout your married life rather than a donation that isn’t so much of a ‘thing’.
What you can do is let it be known via your parents or close family that a gift of money wouldn’t be unacceptable, in fact very welcome. But still be prepared for guests to want to give you something.
Which is where having a wedding gift list really comes into its own.
You might be well equipped but look around at what you have and think about what could do with being upgraded.
If you’ve always wanted a fabulous coffee machine then now’s the time to ask for one. Or maybe a piece of furniture – maybe a new bed? Or some high thread count bed linen?
If you have your gift list at one of the well-known department stores, like John Lewis, then everything in the store can be part of it. That includes items like garden furniture, electronic equipment and lighting. So be a bit creative. Maybe your sitting room would look fabulous with some new overhead lighting, in which case now is the time to ask for it. Maybe you’re planning an extension and need to furnish it. Then think about what you could put on your wedding list to add those final touches – maybe curtains, blinds.
Rather than money, you could ask for gift vouchers to your favourite store and many people may feel more comfortable giving a John Lewis or M&S gift voucher than an actual cheque or notes. You can also put gift vouchers on your gift list of course.
And if you’re both gardeners, you can have a garden gift list – where guests buy plants from a supplier so that you can restock your garden after your wedding and make it beautifully green.
If you need help with your wedding reception costs, then what about putting the word out that you’d like help with buying your wedding cake or the wine? That’s something somebody might like to contribute to. Some big wine merchants like Majestic offer gift vouchers which you could use to put against the cost of champagne and wine at your wedding reception. Certainly worth looking into.
Aside from your wedding, your honeymoon is going to take a cut of your finances and this is another route you could go down for wedding gifts. Have a gift list by all means, but also set up an account with your honeymoon provider so that guests – if they wish – can make a donation towards your honeymoon. Every little helps and many guests would love to know that they have helped to send the happy couple off on the honeymoon of their dreams.
You can add the cost of a honeymoon from Kuoni to your John Lewis gift list. Image via Kuoni.
Wedding gifts and money are a potential minefield and you don’t want to offend anyone. So here are a few pointers to make sure you get it right.
If guests do bring money and gifts to your reception and they are likely to, then they’ll need to be able to put them somewhere safe. Which is where a wedding post-box comes in handy.
You can make a feature of this at your wedding reception – one of our stylists would be able to dress it up perfectly for you and source a special wedding post box or basket. So get in touch with the stylist who lives locally to you and see what ideas they have. | 2019-04-24T10:34:01Z | https://www.ambiencevenuestyling.com/money-gifts-can-ask/ |
Members of Uighur Muslim community say Islamabad is not fighting for their rights as it keeps close ties with China.
On a cold winter evening, Mohammad Hassan Abdul Hameed, 34, walks towards his restaurant, past silk stores in the busy China Market in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
He, like many others here, belongs to the persecuted Uighur community from the Xinjiang province of China.
Abdul Hameed’s father arrived in Rawalpindi 50 years ago to work in a pilgrims’ guesthouse intended for Uighurs heading to Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj.
Today, the guesthouse sits abandoned in the market, not far from Abdul Hameed’s restaurant.
According to members of the community, it was closed down at the request of China in 2006.
Uighurs have been migrating to Pakistan since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some to work as traders and others escaping communist persecution.
Today, China’s brutal crackdown on the community has made headlines around the world as up to three million Uighurs are believed to be held in so-called “re-education camps” where they are made to renounce Islam.
In Pakistan, there are around 2,000 Uighurs and for decades they have kept a low profile in the country – so much so that very few people are even aware of their presence.
There is danger for every one of us in Pakistan now. Whoever starts saying I am Uighur, I am Turkistani, is in danger.
But their presence here has not gone unnoticed by China, Pakistan’s “iron brother” and a helping hand at a time of economic crisis. According to the community, China has started putting pressure on Pakistan to silence its critics.
Beijing has invested $62bn in the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which will connect Kashgar in Xinjiang to the southern Gwadar port in Pakistan.
China has also promised financial aid to the country, which is desperate to sort out its economic woes.
Despite Pakistan frequently highlighting the plight of Muslim minorities across the globe, when it comes to Uighurs, Islamabad does not wish to anger its powerful neighbour.
The Uighurs in Pakistan know too well what goes on in China since many have family members who still reside in Xinjiang. Most have not been able to talk to them for the past two years because they have been held in the camps.
Others at the China Market have similar stories.
Abdul Latif, a silk trader, has relatives in Xinjiang.
“There’s no news about them,” he says. “We can’t call them. If they get a phone call from here, even if they don’t pick it up, after a couple of hours the police will come and ask who called them, what their relationship to them is, how long they have known them, and only with this excuse, they will be picked up.
“If someone dies, there is no one to read the funeral prayers,” he sighs.
“It is such injustice that even injustice itself becomes ashamed,” Abdul Raheem, another trader, interjects, agitated.
According to Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia programme at the Wilson Center, the Uighur community in Pakistan is of some concern for China, despite being minuscule in numbers.
“China knows that the plight of Uighurs has already generated major headlines and negatively impacted its global image. So, it doesn’t want Uighurs in Pakistan, where they have more freedom to speak out, bringing more attention to an issue that Beijing wants kept quiet,” he says.
Recently, news broke of the Uighur wives of Pakistani businessmen locked away in internment camps in China. Pakistan’s inaction has infuriated the community, although it has not come as a surprise.
“Pakistan is the greatest friend [of China]. Higher than the skies, deeper than the oceans,” Raheem says.
While Pakistan often laments the plight of Rohingya, Syrian, Kashmiri, and Palestinian Muslims, you rarely hear Islamabad making statements in solidarity with Uighurs.
Some members of the community say they have started facing harassment and intimidation in Pakistan for being too vocal.
One of them is Abdul Rehman, who requested his real name not be used because of the risks to himself and his family members in China.
“The Chinese government has put everyone here after each other. Me after him, him after me and him after him. We are afraid of each other. We cannot talk openly,” he says.
“The problem here is that there is pressure on the Pakistani government from China and the government of Pakistan puts pressure on us so that we wouldn’t talk about [the issues of] Uighurs in the media here,” Rehman says.
“The agencies here put pressure on us from their side. They pick us up. They have taken many to safe houses. I am one of them. I was there for 12 days last year,” he continues in a hushed voice.
According to Kugelman, CPEC is one of the main reasons that the community has now come under increasing pressure in Pakistan.
“Beijing has ample influence over many things in Pakistan, thanks to its frequent largesse and to the trust it enjoys in Islamabad. China’s leverage has further intensified as it builds out CPEC, a major infrastructure project that’s critically important to Pakistan,” he says.
But China has also repeatedly raised alarm about what it calls “Uighur terrorists” who it believes are plotting attacks against it from the border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In 2015, Pakistan said “almost all” fighters had been eliminated in army operations.
According to Kugelman, the number of Uighur fighters is modest.
“Inflating the threat posed by Uighurs gives Beijing a useful pretext to crack down on them,” he says.
Mohammad Umer Khan, a founder of an organisation called Umer Uighur Trust in Rawalpindi, says the problems for him and other Uighurs in Pakistan have increased significantly in recent years.
He says the problems started in 2006.
Men, who he thought were from Pakistan’s intelligence agencies, would periodically pick him up and detain him for a day or two.
In 2010, Pakistani authorities closed down a school he had set up to teach the Uighur language to the community’s children, he says.
“They used violence against me and they put my name on an ECL (exit control list) so I couldn’t travel anywhere,” Khan says. His name was finally removed from the list in 2014 after he took the matter to the Supreme Court.
About a year ago, he says, he was picked up again and held for around two weeks.
Khan says he was beaten severely which left permanent scars on his left arm. He was subsequently made to sign documents where he promised to no longer protest against China’s policies.
Khan’s account could not be verified because the Interior Ministry of Pakistan did not respond to Al Jazeera’s repeated requests for comments.
“They say I am ruining the friendship between China and Pakistan,” he says.
But Khan says the real issue is not with the Pakistani government. “Definitely [the Chinese] have a hand in it,” he says.
The situation, say, analysts, is unlikely to change for the better as long as China continues to hold sway in Pakistan.
“It’s quite striking that while Pakistan often laments the plight of Rohingya, Syrian, Kashmiri, and Palestinian Muslims, you rarely hear Islamabad making statements in solidarity with Uighurs,” Kugelman says.”To be fair to Islamabad, it’s not just Pakistan that’s so hands off.
The Uighurs are aware of this and are slowly starting to lose hope.
Despite the threats, Khan intends to continue speaking about his community’s problems.
“I am not against Pakistan or CPEC. But injustice is being done to my nation, to my relatives. I speak for their rights,” he says defiantly. | 2019-04-23T10:56:52Z | https://www.viewpoint.net.in/2019/01/china-us-uighurs-pakistan-report-intimidation/ |

The town of Bentrock, Montana (located in Mercer County) in 1948 has a population of less than one thousand people. It is bordered on the west by the Fort Warren Indian reservation, a piece of land that is barely farmable and basically worthless and inhabited by members of the Sioux tribe. The roads are unpaved and the climate is difficult—residents must deal with extreme changes in temperature and never-ending wind. David guesses that the harsh and demanding climate keeps people so busy they can rarely find time to make trouble—this is why Mercer county is so peaceful.
We can glean right away that the inequality built into the fabric of this small-town society—the Sioux are relegated to some of the worst land in the state. This fact is almost glossed over, however, suggesting the degree to which the young David doesn’t question why the Sioux land is so bad. David mentions that the residents of Bentrock endure difficult weather conditions—which, while true, is ironically positioned in this section, following as it does the mention of the poverty on the reservations. Tellingly this narration refers to Mercer County as “peaceful”: in this way, the author David is embodying and communicating young David’s naiveté about the reality of his town.
The relief over the end of World War II is still palpable in Mercer county. Many men had been in combat—though not David’s father Wesley, who has a bum leg due to a kick from a horse—and now they only want to settle in with their families and tend their farms.
Again the picture being painted is one that will be systemically torn down by the events of the story: this postwar small town America is not nearly as idyllic as it seems, and its war heroes are not so heroic.
This tranquility makes for easy work for Wesley Hayden, who is the Mercer County sheriff. As a general rule, being the Sheriff of Mercer county doesn’t require great strength or courage. Young David is disappointed in this fact, and wishes his father’s job were more exciting. He notes that his father doesn’t even look like a western sheriff. He wears a shirt and tie and does not wear boots or a cowboy hat. He owns a small Italian made handgun but never carries it—which is just as well, David thinks, considering the gun is puny and doesn’t look the part. David’s toy guns look more real to him.
The question of identity is raised: we learn that Gail and Wesley construct identity differently. Gail believes Wesley’s profession prevents him from being his “true” self, and Wesley has clearly resisted her. The book will continue to wonder about what makes (or breaks) a person’s identity and sense of self. The difference between lawyer and sheriff also calls attention to the difference between law and justice.
David tries to explain his mother’s thinking. Grandpa Julian Hayden (Wesley’s father) had once been Sheriff of Mercer county for many terms, along with his deputy, Len McAuley. (David, as an adult, wonders why his grandfather wanted to be sheriff. He concludes it is because his grandfather wanted and needed power.) When Grandpa Hayden finally retired, he turned the post over to Wesley, keeping the Hayden name in office. This is why Wesley is trying, as David puts it, to “turn two ways at once.” Grandpa Hayden wants him to be a Hayden, and Gail wants him to simply be himself—something that is impossible in Grandpa Hayden’s presence.
Wesley, it is revealed, is torn between two loyalties. His father wants him to keep the Hayden name in office, but his wife (ostensibly for his sake) wishes he could move away from Grandpa Hayden, so that he no longer felt the pressure of his name. Grandpa’s corruption is also hinted at in this section. His desire to keep one family in charge is anti-democratic and betrays a love of power and prestige over a love of law. Wesley’s desires are notably absent from this description—his decision-making is entirely informed by the wants of his family.
Another reason David’s mother wants them to leave Montana is that she fears for her son’s development. David does not enjoy or understand living in a community—the rules and requirements intimidate him, and he prefers to be out in the countryside alone. He flees the town and its laws and regulations as often as possible, and Gail worries this is stunting his personal and social growth. But David is happy here—he rides his horse, Nutty, and goes fishing, hiking and hunting. He feels that out in the country is the only place where he can be his true self, free of the pressures of human society.
David’s isolation worries his mother because it is perhaps inhibiting his growth. This is yet another ironic kind of gesture—by the end of this story, the idea that the countryside could protect David from the realities of adulthood is almost laughable. David’s childhood naiveté is accompanied by a kind of naiveté on the part of his mother, who will eventually realize nothing can prevent David from growing up. The realities of the external world will find him even in his isolation.
David’s mother works as a secretary, so they have hired a housekeeper, a Sioux woman named Marie Little Soldier. She is a large, beautiful woman with a big personality to match, who likes to tell tall tales and jokes. David loves her (in a 12-year-old’s chaste way) because she is beautiful and unconventional, and because she cares for him.
David’s love for Marie exists on a kind of boundary: he believes he is “in love” with her but he is in fact recognizing and appreciating that Marie takes care of him, that she is like family. David’s sexuality is just starting to emerge, but he is still a boy. Note also how he loves Marie unreservedly, without any sense of prejudice, and focuses on her personality. Many of the older white characters don’t see Marie as a “person” in this way.
Marie has a boyfriend named Ronnie Tall Bear, whom David worships. Ronnie is perhaps the most accomplished athlete to ever graduate from Bentrock high school and was a star in every sport he tried. Young David never wonders, as a child, why Ronnie does not go to a top-notch school on a football scholarship—he simply accepts that “college is not for Indians.” As an adult however, David understands Ronnie could never have been accepted to college as a Native American in 1948.
David is blissfully unaware, as a child, of the injustices that Native Americans like Ronnie face. Though he admires and even “worships” Ronnie for his athletic prowess, he does not question it when Ronnie does not go to college. It is not until he is an adult that he recognizes prejudice for what it was—and Ronnie’s story takes on a darker and more complicated quality.
Marie stays in a servant’s room on the ground floor of the house, even though there is a spare bedroom upstairs. One day David passes the door and hears horrible coughing. When Gail returns for her lunch break, David tells her he thinks Marie is sick. Gail is alarmed and investigates, quickly determining that Marie has a fever. Marie is only wearing a nightgown, and David is reminded of the time he accidentally saw her naked getting out of the shower. Gail gives Marie extra blankets and tells her to stay in bed until evening, when they can ask Dr. Hayden (Wesley’s brother) to come over. Marie protests, saying she doesn’t need a doctor, but Gail ignores her and tells David to keep an eye on her.
Though David and the rest of the family love Marie in an almost familial way, she is still made to sleep in a servant’s room—presumably because custom dictates Native American servants do so. Though she is “like” family, her race and position prevent her from being treated as such. Marie’s sickness brings out certain dynamics in the house: David is made uncomfortable, but also intrigued, by Marie’s exposed state. His mother treats Marie like a child, ignoring her wishes and insisting on care.
David checks in on Marie frequently. She sleeps fitfully and mumbles deliriously. Once she calls David in and makes him promise to keep the doctor away from her. David protests that it’s just his Uncle Frank. Marie coughs violently and David rubs her back and feels that she is shaking all over. When he promises to keep Frank away, she seems to relax.
Marie’s weakness and fear begins to hint at the terrible reality (one of racial prejudice and abuse) lurking under the picturesque surface in Bentrock. The reader can begin to see that Frank is not “just” Uncle Frank—there’s something more to his identity.
David first learned of his father’s racism when he was about seven or eight. He received moccasins as a birthday gift from some extended family member and Wesley had refused to let him wear them, complaining they’d make him “flat-footed and lazy as an Indian.” David admits his father was not as hate filled as other bigots—in fact Wesley probably never considered himself prejudiced—but he held Native Americans in low regard and believed they were, with very few exceptions, lazy, superstitious, and irresponsible. David, when he is grown, puts on a pair of moccasins every day after work, as a small act of defiance.
Wesley is for the most part a good man—but the book emphasizes that even good, small town Americans are capable of certain evils. Part of David’s journey to adulthood involves reconciling his love and respect for his father with his father’s bigotry—which was undeniable, even if it was comparatively mild. His adult rebellion (in the form of wearing moccasins) demonstrates that he continues to grapple with these realities even as a grown-up.
Wesley tells Frank that Marie is sick, and warns him she does not want to be treated by him. Frank asks why and Wesley says he doubts she’s ever been seen by a “real” doctor. When he hangs up he jokingly tells Gail that Frank has agreed to do a little dance around the bed and bang on some drums—Gail doesn’t laugh and goes back to be with Marie.
Wesley and Frank bond over their mutual disdain for Native American beliefs and traditions—a trait that seems to have been passed down though the family. Gail’s displeasure is evident. She clearly cares more for Marie than she does for Frank.
When Frank arrives David is struck by how handsome and charismatic he is. He feels sorry for his father, who seems to him a less attractive and less impressive version of Frank, who was a star athlete in high school and a heroic doctor in WWII. Wesley is dull in comparison to Frank, who is favored by everyone in town including Grandpa Hayden, who sometimes speaks of Frank as though he is his only son. David remembers Grandpa Hayden giving a speech at a town celebration, praising Frank’s wartime accomplishments while Wesley limped around picking up litter.
The complicated dynamic between the Hayden boys and their father is fleshed out. Frank’s charisma, his accomplishments, his local fame—these all make him “more impressive” in David’s young eyes. David even feels sympathy, almost pity, for his somehow inferior father. Grandpa Hayden’s favoritism is also made evident. He has chosen Frank over Wesley before and will (as the reader will eventually discover) do so again.
Uncle Frank asks for a drink and Wesley offers him some of Ole Norgaard’s homebrewed beer. Frank says he might have some after he treats Marie. Frank goes into Marie’s room and shuts the door behind him. Almost immediately Marie begins screaming for Gail. Gail goes to knock on the door ask asks if everything is okay. Frank tells her, with disgust in his voice, that Marie insists Gail stay in the room.
The gravity of the situation becomes increasingly clear. Marie’s screams elicit disgust from Frank, disinterest from Wesley (who is more interested in promoting Norgaard’s beer), and concern from Gail. The family begins to split apart even in this early moment, foreshadowing the more dramatic fractures to come.
Wesley tells David to come wait outside on the porch. They hear muffled shouts of “no” coming from Marie’s room. Wesley ignores them. Finally Frank comes out and asks Wesley for a beer. Wesley leaves and David notices he feels uncomfortable alone with Uncle Frank. When Wesley returns he asks Frank why Marie had been upset. Frank says it’s just because she’s used to being treated by a “medicine man.” Wesley remarks that Native Americans will never make it in the 20th century unless they give up their old fashioned superstitions. Frank agrees, and says Marie might have pneumonia.
David’s discomfort around Frank suggests that he has already started to rethink Frank’s identity. Frank’s status and prestige no longer impress David, who is suddenly fearful of his uncle. Wesley remains unflinchingly on his brother’s side, sharing a beer and gossiping about Marie and her (in their opinion) inferior worldview. Once again their racism against Native Americans is apparent and, in Wesley’s case, makes him blind to what is going on.
Wesley asks if Marie should be in a hospital. Frank responds that Marie would probably never agree to go. At this moment Gail comes outside and confirms that Marie will be staying at home with them. David notices that his mother seems angry. Though she has never been a huge fan of Uncle Frank, she has never seemed blatantly hostile towards him, as she does now. Frank puts down his unfinished beer and makes an excuse to leave.
David is perceptive enough to notice that his mother is unusually unhappy with Uncle Frank. Uncle Frank’s quickness to leave suggests that he has an idea why Gail is angry—his guilt is already being hinted at. Again we can see Wesley at the center of a familial conflict—his wife is against Frank and he is with him (at least for now).
Gail tells David to go into the house. Instead of doing so, he tracks around the side of the house so he can eavesdrop on his parents’ conversation—he remarks that if he hadn’t done this, perhaps his childhood would have lasted longer. He hears his mother take a deep breath and tell his father what Marie has told her: that Uncle Frank has been molesting Native American girls—his patients—for years.
David here makes one of several decisions that apparently bring his childhood to an end. But the idea that David’s innocence could have endured this conflict—that he could have remained blissfully unaware—is perhaps a childish notion in and of itself. Frank’s crime is finally revealed, exposing the bigotry and abuse he conceals under his charm and social status.
Wesley frantically tries to rationalize, presumably because Frank is brother, and he desperately wants this information to be untrue. Gail will not allow it though, and renders Frank’s crimes to Wesley in harsh language. This startles David, whose conception of his mother is challenged by her use of these words. Wesley’s response is strange, even to David, who expects that he will respond more emotionally to this news.
Gail doesn’t understand the question. Wesley asks if she’s telling him because he is Frank’s brother, because he is her husband, because he is Marie’s employer, or because he is the sheriff. Gail says “I’m just telling you.” They are quiet for some time, and then Wesley asks if Marie has been a victim of Frank’s assault before. Gail says yes, but she hasn’t seen the worst of it. Wesley wonders if Marie will talk to him and Gail says she thinks so. Wesley claps his hands and gets up to go inside.
David quickly runs back in the house so his parents won’t know he’s been eavesdropping. They say nothing to him and go straight to Marie’s room. While they are gone, David examines Uncle Frank’s fingerprints on his beer bottle. He realizes he is already beginning to think of Uncle Frank as a criminal—handsome, charming Uncle Frank is gone forever.
David is coming to terms with the malleable and shifting nature of identity himself—he inspects Frank’s fingerprints, a tellingly childish imitation of criminal investigation—we can imagine he learned about it on television. But he has grown in his understanding of Uncle Frank—who is more, and more sinister, than his charming exterior.
Wesley’s first move in his investigation is to talk to his deputy (who was also his father’s deputy) and ask Gail to talk to Daisy to gage how much gossip about Frank has already gotten out. This move highlights that Wesley’s job as sheriff involves social maneuvering. The way the law operates is affected by the small town politics in Bentrock. It turns out Daisy has already heard Frank has been abusing Native American patients—though she uses euphemistic language to say so (to prevent David from understanding, but also, we imagine, to avoid facing the reality herself).
Later that night, Gail goes in to check on Marie one more time. When she comes out she looks exhausted and frail. Wesley is eating some chocolate cake that Daisy brought over, and casually asks Gail how Marie is doing. Gail cannot believe he has an appetite after all that’s happened. David realizes she is seeing his father differently: not as her husband, but as a brother to a pervert, a brother to a man who abused his power and authority to take advantage of women. David knows this because he is seeing Wesley the same way—he can hardly stand to look at his father, because he sees Frank’s features on his dad’s face.
Wesley’s status as Frank’s brother, as a blood relative of a heinous, sexually abusive criminal, begins to dawn on both David and his mother. David is disgusted by his father’s resemblance to his uncle, and Gail lashes out as well. The book wonders about the meaning of biological relation. Does Wesley carry some of Frank’s evil and perversion in him simply because he is Frank’s brother and shares his blood? What do the actions of our family members say about us?
Wesley tells Gail he doesn’t want this all over town, reminding her that they have no proof of anything yet. David sees a familiar disagreement between them: his father, touting proof and evidence, his mother relying on feelings and faith. Gail notes that rumors have already started spreading, and Wesley clarifies that he doesn’t want it getting back to his father. David notes that in many ways Wesley had nothing left to praise God with because he used up all his faith and loyalty on his “earthly father,” Grandpa Hayden.
Where Gail is concerned with justice (and follows abstract ideals) Wesley is concerned with procedure, with law. Yet Wesley’s loyalty to law is perhaps also shield that lets him also be loyal to his father. The law is more complicated than justice. David’s remark about his father’s resistance to religion is telling: Wesley’s devotion to his biological family is almost dogmatic. Wilson, the novelist, is warning against such blind devotion to biological ties.
Gail emphatically asserts that David will never be treated by Frank again. David is nervous about being addressed, and hopes he doesn’t give away the fact that he’s been eavesdropping. Wesley tells Gail not to bring David into this. She asks him again why he won’t say he believes Marie. David expects his father to insist Marie is either confused or lying, but instead he says nothing. David realizes his father doesn’t doubt Frank’s guilt—he knows his brother as well as anyone, and he knows his brother has committed these crimes.
A troubling new fact comes to light—Wesley does not doubt Frank’s guilt. David must now contend not only with the reality of his Uncle’s crimes, but with his own father’s willful tolerance of those crimes. Wesley has been resisting action not because of doubt, but because of devotion to the “Hayden” name. David must comes to terms with the fact that his father is capable of such moral shortcoming.

Acute pain and agitation are common in patients with delayed extubation after craniotomy which can lead to brain edema, intracranial hemorrhage, and even ischemia if untreated. Dexmedetomidine is useful for sedation in patients with delayed extubation after craniotomy as revealed from this study.
A randomized trial conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine for prophylactic analgesia and sedation in patients with delayed extubation after craniotomy.
From June 2012 to July 2014, 150 patients with delayed extubation after craniotomy were randomized 1:1 and were assigned to the dexmedetomidine group that received a continuous infusion of 0.6 μg/kg/h (10 μg/mL) or the control group that received a maintenance infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride for injection.
The mean percentage of time under optimal sedation (SAS3-4), the percentage of patients who required rescue with propofol/fentanyl, and the total dose of propofol/fentanyl required throughout the course of drug infusion, as well as VAS, HR, MAP, and SpO2 were recorded.
The percentage of time under optimal sedation was significantly higher in the dexmedetomidine group than in the control group (98.4%±6.7% vs. 93.0%±16.2%, P=0.008).
The VAS was significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group than in the control group (1.0 vs. 4.0, P=0.000). The HR and mean BP were significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group than in the control group at all 3 time points (before endotracheal suctioning, immediately after extubation, and 30 min after extubation). No significant difference in SpO2 between the 2 groups. For hemodynamic adverse events, patients in the dexmedetomidine group were more likely to develop bradycardia (5.3% vs. 0%, P=0.043) but had a lower likelihood of tachycardia (2.7% vs. 18.7%, P=0.002).
Dexmedetomidine may be an effective prophylactic agent to induce sedation and analgesia in patients with delayed extubation after craniotomy.
The use of dexmedetomidine (0.6 μg/kg/h) infusion does not produce respiratory depression but may increase the incidence of bradycardia. | 2019-04-22T22:15:38Z | https://www.medznat.ru/en/content/use-dexmedetomidine-prophylactic-analgesia-and-sedation-patients-delayed-extubation-after |
Just started to contact the students for lessons and I already have half of them confirmed for a date. Looks like I will be giving lessons for about an hour on Mondays and Tuesdays but we’ll see how things turn out within the next week.
So we have our contact numbers, school is back in session, but the time to do everything has suddenly disappeared! It seemed like there was nothing to do during spring break, but now that we’re back and we can actually proceed with our plan we have other things to focus on. Hopefully I’ll find time to contact the kids this weekend.
Finally got an update as far as students interested in taking private lessons outside of school. I think there are around 16 violins? I can’t quite remember. It should be interesting to start making phone calls to have everything scheduled by next week. It may have to wait until the weekend though, Procrastination just assigned a ton of homework right at the end of break. Issues? To be expected… Soon.
Is this my 3rd post?
Seems like time has been zooming by since our orientation and now finally our project is about to commence. This past week our group talked to all of the orchestra classes at Harding MS and hopefully attracted some customers. I’m still a little uncertain of how popular the program will be; hopefully we’ll get more than 4 or 5 students to sign up.
We’re still waiting to hear from their teacher to get the scoop on sign-ups and when we should start with lessons and sectionals. It’ll be interesting to see how things go.
So taking the time to think about AP Lang blogging, we were instructed to not just put “Post #1” and then write a two-sentence statement. However, I feel like as of this moment, I do not know of anything exciting and/or important to say despite the fact that this is my first post, late of course, that contains absolutely nothing valuable. | 2019-04-20T00:47:50Z | https://iowamakesmusic.wordpress.com/author/immeric/ |
Yesterday, Apple unveiled new entries to its iPod line-up – the sixth generation iPod Touch, and a new iPod nano and Shuffle. The new iPod Touch will be available in a vibrant array of colours, and boasts improved specs, bringing it in-line with the iPhone 6. This means that it will feature a 8 mega-pixel iSight camera, A8 processor, as well as an M8 coprocessor – which enables more accurate fitness tracking. Visually, it shares the same slimmed down, small stature, of its predecessor – with the same 4-inch 640p screen.
The new iPod Touch is available now for the following prices: £159 for the 16GB model, £199 for the 32GB model, £249 for the 64GB model, £329 for the 128GB model. There will be several colour options to pick from: Silver, Gold, Space-Grey, Pink, Blue, and Red – part of the ‘Product Red’ scheme which provides a percentage of the profits to help stamp out AIDs in Africa.
The iPod Nano will be available for £129, whereas the Shuffle will setback users a paltry £40. Both will be available in the same colours as the Touch.
In February last year, Apple CEO, Tim Cook, admitted that iPod was a “declining business.” The iPod Classic was removed from stores later in the year, with the company shifting greater support to the iPhone product line, which overtook the iPod back in 2010.
The latest iPod line-up arrives just in time to take advantage of Apple’s new Music service, but will not benefit from all of Apple’s features and services. None of the iPod line has a Finger-print sensor, or an NFC chip, which is also absent; meaning that Apple Pay will not be supported. | 2019-04-22T01:11:53Z | http://www.loadthegame.com/2017/07/25/apple-announces-new-ipod-lineup/ |

The origins of the Slipknot logo goes back to 1995 when an American heavy metal band was founded in Des Moines, Iowa. The band has produced music which is extremely enraging and is characterized by recurring changes of pace and affluent sonic detours. Slipknot is identified as an alternative metal post-Korn music band that gained immense popularity thanks to the neo-shock rock of Marilyn Manson-esque proportions. They are dubbed as the pioneers of the so-called late 1990s new-metal explosion. Chris Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jim Root, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Shawn “Clown” Crahan and Sid Wilson feature in the current line-up of Slipknot. Each of the band member sports a unique Halloween mask and costumes. Instead of nicknames, every band member is identified by numbers 0-8 which spices up their mysterious popularity. The band’s debut album, titled “Slipknot” was released in 1999. After the phenomenal debut success, “Iowa” and “Vol.3″ became smash hits when they were released in 2001 and 2004 respectively. Slipknot’s fourth album was released in 2008. The legendary success of the alternative heavy metal band paved the way for 6 Grammy awards including, “duality”, “let behind”, “my plague” and “wait and bleed”. Slipknot today stands as the one of the most popular heavy metal groups of the contemporary music scene thanks to the mesmerizing singing, powerful lyrics and controversial stage antics that enables the band to capture the hearts and minds of its followers across the globe.
The slipknot logos come in different colors most of them black, red and white in color. However, the logo featured above is the most frequently used logo. Shape of the Slipknot Logo: The Slipknot logo comprises of a black rectangle with the band name inscribed in metallic effect. Color of the Slipknot Logo: The black background brings an edgy and stylish look to the Slipknot logo. The whiteness is the symbol of the Slipknot compositions’ purity. Font of the Slipknot Logo: The font style of the logo is an inspiration from the devil which can be explained by the use of the violence that can be witnessed during Slipknot’s live performances and song videos.

I received today the galleys of Walt's People - Volume 9. There were a few small corrections. We still seem to be on track for a release that will happen either around May 20th or June 8th.
By the way, I really went overboard this time around. The book is 541-long. Oooops.
Here are three great Christmas cards from the Kimballs that Carlene Sunblad was kind enough to share with me.
Here are some more art coming from Leslie Brooks (wabbithole@comcast.net).
Any idea of who the artists are and who drew them?
I released two of those seven strips 4 years ago, but it makes a lot more sense to show all the ones I have in a single post.
On April 25, 1935 and until September 30, 1936, Mickey travelled to Zagreb, capital of Croatia. The magazine Crtani Film that would last little more than a year, had been created by Ivan Zrnic, distributed in both Serbia and Croatia and carried Mickey Mouse Sunday pages on its cover – recreated by little known Serbian artists.
This story is called "Mickey's Wedding" (Mikijeva zenidba) and I am showing here the strips that were released in issues 20 to 26.
[The Andreas Deja Discussion and Book Signing was a great success!
Howard Lowery is currently selling this drawing by Nancy Beiman (more about her upcming book soon) of Frank and Ollie that I thought you would all enjoy.
[The magazine with this article was sold on eBay recently, but unfortunately it was too expensive for me. Could this have had the first Mickey Mouse(s) in color - except for the posters ? Can this article have been forgotten ? – I have never seen any mentioning or copy of it. It seems like it has the prosess of making a cartoon right – see for ex. the emphasis it puts on a written scenario.
This new book will be released exclusively at Disneyland at the end of April.
Written by Jeff Kurtti, it's a beautiful volume but it is definitely aimed at your friends or relatives that do not know much about Disneyland history and want to start somewhere. The book is filled with excerpts of the old Disney News magazine, and of the books Disneyland Inside Story, Walt Disney's America and a few others. Most of the documents have also already been seen elsewhere, but overall the layout is excellent and the writting very enjoyable.
Bottom line: you won't learn or discover anything, but it's the perfect gift for all your friends if you want them to share your passion. That was Jeff Kurtti's and Marty Sklar's goal and they succeeded beautifully.

[I thought you and your audience at Disney History may be interested to learn about the latest addition to Suspended Animation Gallery, the online art collection produced by Disney animation artists, reflecting their own personal inspirations and created in their own choice of medium.
It’s Walt Peregoy, best known for his work on 101 Dalmatians, but also notable for his contributions to Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty. Check out Peregoy’s personal paintings that are available for viewing (and purchase) in the gallery at this link.
LOS ANGELES, CA – Tenny Chonin, founder and owner of Suspended Animation Gallery, is pleased to announce the addition of paintings by Disney Legend Walt Peregoy to her collection of art available for purchase. “His paintings are exciting, colorful, and nonformulaic— a truly inspired addition to the work already on display at Suspended Animation Gallery,” remarks Chonin.
Walt Peregoy began his career at The Walt Disney Studios in 1942 at the age of seventeen, working in the animation department as an in-betweener. After serving a tour of duty in the Coast Guard and then studying art in Mexico and Paris, Peregoy returned to Disney Animation in 1951. He worked as a designer and animator on Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp. Peregoy then served as the lead background painter on Sleeping Beauty, and he is probably best known for his outstanding color and background artistry on the 1961 animated feature, 101 Dalmatians.
Peregoy is the twelfth artist currently represented in the Suspended Animation Gallery, which exclusively carries personal art pieces created by the renowned artists of Walt Disney Animation Studios. The gallery exhibits and sells original works including paintings, drawings and sculptures created by the artists who the world knows through the famous movies and characters they have helped bring to life, such as Mike Gabriel (eight films, including Oliver & Company and Pocahontas) and Lisa Keene (twelve films, including The Lion King and The Little Mermaid).
Suspended Animation Gallery presents a revolving series of works and artists, posting photos of the available pieces to its website at SuspendedAnimationGallery.com.
[I have hundreds of animators gag drawings in my collection. There are many of them in which I can identify both the artist and the subjects of the drawings. However there are also a fairly substantial number for which I can identify only the artist or the subject or neither. I am looking for some help in this area.
For instance, in the first attached drawing, it’s pretty obvious that the subjects are Walt & Ub Iwerks. The question is WHO drew it? It might have been Ub himself or it may have been someone else. Considering how few artists were working at the time, in this case, the artist could only be one of a very small handful of people.
For later gags the “pool” of people is MUCH larger & it becomes tougher to identify both the artist & subjects. For instance, I can not figure anything for the “Pugsley Pout” drawing but the “Pulling Stockings” drawing looks like it could be by Freddy Moore. This may be an art class drawing so the subject would not be someone who could be identified.
He was kind enough to send me many other gag drawings that I will post on the blog within the next few days and weeks.
Great news! Walt's People - Volume 9 was finally sent to the printer today, which means that it should be released between the end of May and early June.
[Just wanted to forward a link to you on a great piece of art, just recently discovered and soon being sold at Bonham & Butterfield's in Los Angeles. The auction catalog isn't published yet.

Alice in Wonderland expert and collector extraordinaire Matt Crandall managed to find photos of all of Disney's Goebel figurines save 32 and posted them on his blog.
As you probably know by now, one of my big passions is Disney concept drawings and my two favorite concept artists are Ferdinand Horvath and Ken Anderson.
Here are two Horvath drawings that were sold recently on ebay.
[In 1929 comes in your country (Germany) the movie "Steamboat Willie" in black and white. It was a big success. In September of the same year the Mouse was produced by 3 different factories in Germany WITHOUT license. The 3 factories were SCHNEIDER, Leube, and WKC. All these 3 factories were in the middle of the Thuringian Forest, the area where I live. Nobody had seen Mickey in color, so the 3 factory made the mouse in black and white and in lilac and green clothes. This was the early mouse.
Around 1931 the Disney license was given in your country to Borgfeldt. Now it was forbidden to produce the mouse WITHOUT license.
The story goes on: In the Schneider factory a lot of art deco figurines were produced: bathing beauties and half dolls. Now a worker made a JOKE. He has given this naked "Snow White" the Mickey in her hand. He only made a total of 5 of this figurines, but the other are now missing after such a long time. This figurine was NEVER, NEVER in official production. OH GOD, Disney would have had heartbreak, if he had seen his cute mouse in the hand of a naked girl.
I was working this weekend on an interview of special effect animator Dan MacManus by John Culhane from 1972 that was recently transcribed for Walt's People by Robert Kolakowski.
The interview contains quite a few jewels, including the fact that MacManus was actually Mexican, but the two pieces of information that particularly caught my attention were the fact that MacManus mentions that he directed a movie called The Imperfect Crime (a 45-minute mystery) and that he stared in a Western parody, called Grizzly Gulch, directed by Carl Fallberg and Lars Calonius. That movie featured many Disney artists and was partly filmed at Ward Kimball's Grizzly Flats. Since we know that the Grizzly Flats railroad started operations in 1938 and that the movie was filmed before WWII (see CartoonBrew), we can deduct that it was shot around 1939. It lasted 1 hour and fifteen minutes.
Apparently only one copy of the movie survived and for reasons linked to rights we are unlikely to see it anytime soon.
I have been working during the last few days on an in-depth article about the pre-WWII Disney ceramics items created by the German company Rosenthal, thanks to the help of Hake's and Galerie Laqua (Carsten Laqua has a few of the rarest Rosenthal items for sale at the moment). The article will be released in Tomart's Disneyana Update number 76.
I released my very first article in Tomart's Disneyana Update in 1995. Here is the complete list of the articles I wrote or edited for Tomart's, including three that are yet to be released. | 2019-04-18T18:51:59Z | https://disneybooks.blogspot.com/2010/04/ |
SRINAGAR, July 14: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah said today that the Congress’ tweet about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and incarcerated former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was disappointing.
“There are a lot of things I will be critical of PM Modi for but attempting to repair India’s relations with Pakistan is certainly not one of them. I’m not even getting in to the internal politics of Pakistan that makes this tweet even more disappointing,” Abdullah said in a tweet.
The Congress had posted a photograph of Modi and Sharif walking hand in hand on micro-blogging site Twitter and sought to know what the Prime Minister thinks of his former Pakistani counterpart, who was arrested in a corruption case.
“Nawaz Sharif has been arrested on corruption charges. We’d like to know what his dear friend, PM Modi has to say about this,” the Congress tweeted.
The former Chief Minister also lashed out at BJP activists for burning effigies of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti in Jammu.
“It didn’t matter when Army establishments were attacked all over Jammu, soldiers kidnapped & killed, Amarnath yatris & tourists killed but suddenly @MehboobaMufti is enemy number one. The BJP thinks people are fools & won’t punish their selective memory,” he said in another tweet. | 2019-04-21T11:20:02Z | https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/omar-flays-cong-tweet-on-pm/ |

Learning Objectives: 1. Following the completion of this course the participant will be able to list the factors that affect cochlear implant performance. 2. Following the completion of this course the participant will be able to describe the steps as well as specific activities to facilitating listening and language development in a young child with a cochlear implant. 3. Following the completion of this course the participant will be able to describe the latest technological advancements in cochlear implant sound processors that contribute to facilitating listening and language all day long.
The development of listening and language skills does not occur at a set interval in a young child’s life but instead these skills occur naturally during exposures to the environment, new experiences and everyday moments. In order to provide the experiences to language necessary for development the child needs access to sound all day long independent of environment and activity. According to the research all infants and children require about 20,000 hours of listening experience in the first 5 years of life to create the neural infrastructure necessary for language development (Dehaene, 2009). The purpose of a cochlear implant is to access, stimulate, and grow auditory neural connections throughout the brain as the foundation for spoken language, reading and academics. In order for a cochlear implant to be an effective mechanism early implantation has proven to be instrumental in a young child’s oral language development as well as consistent device use all waking hours (Robbins, et al, 2004). Facilitating device use all waking hours can be problematic for young children for a variety of factors – behavioral issues, ease of wearing, activity level of child and child’s play environment. This presentation outlines the importance of consistent device use all waking hours, practical ideas for facilitating language stimulation in a broad range of environments and how technological improvements with the sound processor can enhance a child’s exposure to sound.

When I first started writing, I was convinced that there were rules to writing. For example, you started writing with a beginning, progressed through the middle, and ended at the end. Sure there were all those high literary works that started in one spot and circled around to the beginning before jumping to the end and then, somehow, returned to the middle. I’m not a high literary writer; I’m still learning my craft. So: beginning, middle, end. Small writing devices—flashbacks, foreshadowing, dreams—were all game, but that was the general flow of the story, and the order in which it should be written.
This was how I wrote Thorn, and the problem I ran into with my approach was that by the time I finally got to writing the end (over the 13 or so revisions I went through), the scenes had gone as stale as year-old Ritz crackers. I finally let myself start a revision with the final chapters, and only after that did my ending begin to come to life.
Then, about five years ago, I started participating in National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short). NaNoWriMo changed my perspective on writing straight through my story, from pure necessity. The reason is simple: if you are trying to write a 50,000 word novel draft in the month of November, and you know what happens at the end of your story but not at the beginning, you can’t waste time putzing around with the beginning. You write the first scene you know (in my case, the end), and then you jump to the next scene you know, and the next. You work backwards, sideways, and upside down.
Freed from my mental constraints, I wrote the end of the novel I had chosen to complete for NaNoWriMo. I knew the general arc of the plot, but it was the final scenes that kept playing through my mind. It was all there: fresh, vibrant, begging to be written. This was the kind of writing that makes writers positively vibrate with excitement: you can’t sit still envisioning the fight because you want to jump in and throw a punch; you can’t get the moment-of-despair scene written properly because you keep reaching for tissues. I loved it! Unfortunately (or not?) I loved it so much I never got around to writing the beginning. At 50,000 words, I had an ending, part of a middle and no beginning whatsoever. Oh, I had ideas, I just hadn’t gotten to them.
Then the realization struck me: I’d turned my novel into a trilogy. And I’d written the third novel first. It took me two more NaNoWriMos to draft out the other books of the trilogy, and I’ve found some serious challenges with my process: when you fly by the seat of your plot, trying to get that novel written in 30 wild days, you can’t know all of your characters and plot lines until you’ve written the beginning. This challenge is compounded with trilogies. I’ve discovered how much more vital my writing feels when I write the scene on my mind…and how much more revision that requires since new elements develop at the beginning and through the middle long after I’ve written the end. Now I just have to learn to love revision the way I love writing my first draft.

When Justin Lin was circling Terminator 5 he spoke about some of the ideas he had for the film and this script was born. All told I spent the better part of year in research, writing and the polishing Rebirth into the script I am releasing today. Hopefully it’ll help tide fans over until the increasingly awesome sounding Terminator: Genesis hits next July!
I hope you enjoy reading this script as much as I did writing it!
After a short exchange with a good friend on facebook I wondered if I hadn’t quite gotten the point across. In order to try and figure that out I realized that I had to ask a couple of questions that will likely expand further but the questions are as follows.
Is there a significant difference between between the way Writers, Writer/Directors and Directors who write tackle the possibility of starting on a possible continuation of a project down the line? In other words if a passion project seems likely to continue moving forward, regardless of if it happens right now or long into the future, is there a difference between how these three groups of people would tackle said project?
And how could their faith impact their actions?
Terminator 5: Dawn of The New Screenwriters!
It’s with a somewhat heavy heart that I write this official Terminator 5 news update as it means that I’ll no longer have to defend Ferris and Brancato on another Terminator script. Seriously though this news both excites me and bums me out since I spent a good deal of last year working on securing this very project.
However I’m also happy since that means Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar/Shutter Island/Alexander) and Patrick Lussier (Wes Craven’s Dracula/My Bloody Valentine/Drive Angry (Writer and Director) are going to be the ones to receive any blow back from the fans if the film under performs.
It’s and interesting duo that’s for certain however I know that Terminator rights holder Megan Ellison isn’t into making stupid decisions. She is after all behind such awesome films as Zero Dark Thirty and The Master and is very serious about making great use of the Terminator name.
This is someone I fully trust to know what they’re doing.
Apparently the Laeta/Lussier was combo writing a SF original for David Ellisons’ Skydance Productions and was so impressed with it that he landed them the Terminator job.
There are a total of 7 people on the writing staff of Terminator: The Connor Chronicles (T:TCC) I think that’s a grand number, it’s also the number of perfection so I suggest we leave well enough alone on that point. However how does writing work with a seven person team, or to be more specific how does re-writing work?
Let me share with you a few things that I took into my first re-write so that you can understand how the process works.
First of all while the latest update at the main page Terminator: The Connor Chronicles says that I’m the 2nd writer on the series, (and I do truly feel humbled by that), I am in fact the most recent hire. I’m coming into a project where we have first drafts written for 90 percent of the episodes, in other words other writers have poured their time, energy, effort, and writing skills into these scripts. Which leads to my first rule of rewriting especially of other peoples work.
Treat the draft with respect.
I’m Now a Writer for Terminator: The Connor Chronicles!
find interesting or make myself. However one look at the title in the address bar reveals that the primary reason I made this blog was to talk and discuss Terminator related items and articles. I’m so very happy to be doing that again, as I’m pleased to announce that I was approached by a friend, and welcomed by a new friend to be part of Terminator: The Connor Chronicles (T:TCC)!
Some of you may be asking yourselves what is T:TCC. I will lightly touch upon a few things here but you can follow this link to find out much much more. Terminator: The Connor Chronicles!
It’s a unofficial, non profit, CGI continuation of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Over 4o big time fans are hard at work to bring the universe back to life.
I am part of the writing team working hard to bring an excellent story line to tip top shape.
I’m currently hard at work writing a new draft of Episode 3 and it’s coming along very nicely indeed.
To say this was unexpected is an understatement, I knew very little about T:TCC through the first friend listed above before hand- as she mentioned in passing months ago that she was doing voice acting for a Terminator related project. I never once thought I would end up writing on said project, but I’ve very glad I am.
This year has been full of Terminator surprises and to be honest it’s a great way to cap off the year….though having a killer interview with Verizon this Thursday would make it even better.
So keep watching this space…within the next few days I’ll be writing a post about how I have approached re-writing on the project and there will be other articles in the future about Terminator: The Connor Chronicles.
Way back in 1999 I with the help of a good friend released my Terminator fan script Terminator 3: Final Retribution (T3:FR)onto the internet. The site went through a number it iterations including hosting through two different services, a liquid metal logo animation, message boards and even a Future War set written Terminator RPG.
You can still find on of the old sites on the internet to this day, it features artwork by another friend, Terminator short fiction and who knows you might even be able to still read the script online! If not you can download it from Terminator Files- They have absurdly detailed files! look under Scripts.
On top of that just like my inspiration in screenwriting Jim Cameron would draw artwork I also did some drawings as as part of the Digital Restoration Project I’m going to upload some artwork that I did around the time of the website release. So prepare to be Terminated by mediocre artwork as we travel back to 1999!
In T3:FR I wrote a direct follow up to Terminator 2: Judgment Day in which General Connor came back through time to protect himself and stop Skynet from two Automated Personell EXterminator Terminator units sent back through time by Skynet to kill off John Connor in the past. Here is a sketch of Apex One based on a certain actor.
After the break meet his female counterpart and find more art from 1999’s Terminator 3: Final Retribution!

PERTH -- National Energy Resources Australia (NERA) is supporting the Transforming Australia Subsea Equipment Reliability (TASER) project, led by Wood and in collaboration with Chevron, Shell and Woodside, by providing AUD $145,000 of funding over two years.
TASER follows on from the Subsea Equipment Australian Reliability Joint Industry Project (SEAR JIP) also led by Wood and supported by a group of operators. The collaborative industry effort is focused on sharing knowledge to improve subsea equipment design and reduce the requirement for costly and time-consuming interventions in Australia’s challenging offshore warm water environment.
NERA CEO Miranda Taylor said the project was an excellent example of the power of collaboration, innovation and technology to transform the international competitiveness of the Australian energy resources sector.
“Digital technologies and ‘living laboratories’ allow faster, safer adaption, testing and application of the technologies needed to optimize performance of the oil and gas industry’s subsea equipment.
“NERA is supporting the TASER project as it will bring operators and vendors together to share, collaborate and address industry challenges in real life conditions,” Taylor said. | 2019-04-26T05:52:31Z | https://www.worldoil.com/news/2018/2/15/nera-announces-funding-for-subsea-equipment-reliability-project |
Pulitzer Prize finalist for political cartooning, Kevin Kallaugher, has come a long way from drawing caricatures of tourists on the streets of London’s Trafalgar Square, a trade the recent Harvard graduate took up after his job playing basketball fell through. The prestigious Economist Magazine took note of his talent and hired him as their first resident cartoonist. Since 1978 he has drawn satirical commentary on current political events under the name of KAL for The Economist and The Baltimore Sun. Over a 38-year career, he has drawn more than 8,000 cartoons and 140 magazine covers.
With his keen eye and sharp wit, KAL lampoons the powerful and skewers the puffery of the political elites on the world stage. He frequently speaks in defense of satire and the right to freedom of expression necessary in our society. | 2019-04-26T06:14:02Z | https://valleytownhall.com/speakers/2017-2018/kevin-kallaugher-profile/ |
Bernadette! - Call on Dolly!
Bette Midler returned to Broadway in a revival of Jerry Herman’s beloved musical costarring two-time Tony winner David Hyde Pierce which officially opened on April 20th, 2017. This critically acclaimed and crowd-pleasing star turn of a revival went on to win four 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. On her off performances, Donna Murphy stepped into Dolly’s shoes giving an equally glorious star turned. Midler and Murphy both departed in January 2018. Lucky for theater fans everywhere, two time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters took over the role. She is joined by Broadway favorite Victor Garber.
As of this writing, she is scheduled to stay with the show through June.

Line: Dolphins by 4 ½.
• Miami leads the series against the Jaguars 4-3. In their last meeting, the Dolphins lost to the Jaguars, 23-20, in 2015. Since 2009, the Dolphins have won three of the last four games. It will be only the third time the Dolphins have played host to the Jaguars for a regular-season game at home. The Dolphins lost to the Jaguars 24-10 at home in 2006 and the Dolphins won 24-3 in 2012.
• The Dolphins are coming off a 41-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week on the road. Miami allowed 418 yards and trailed 21-0 after the first quarter. The Dolphins offensive line allowed quarterback Ryan Tannehill to be sacked nine times.
• Miami has allowed 30 or more points in six of their previous 14 games. The Dolphins defense has also allowed at least 400 yards in nine games.
• If the Dolphins lose to either the Jaguars or the Bills in next week’s regular season finale, they will be eliminated from playoff contention.
• Miami is 6-1 at home, but 1-6 on the road. The only other teams in the AFC with just one road victory are the Jaguars (1-5) and Raiders (1-6).
• Despite missing the past two games with a knee injury, cornerback Xavien Howard returned to practice on Wednesday. He is tied for first in the NFL with seven interceptions with Chicago Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller. Howard was the Dolphins’ lone Pro Bowl selection.
• Running back Frank Gore’s 126 consecutive games played streak will end on Sunday against the Jaguars. Gore was placed on injured reserve because of a foot injury he sustained against the Vikings in Week 15.
• The Dolphins rank 29th in passing, averaging 189.5 yards per game.
On Jaguars defense: "I know two weeks ago they shut out the Colts, which is pretty impressive. They’re a talented team. I think it starts with the personnel. They’ve stacked up good players at every position. They play fast. They keep things fairly simple." | 2019-04-23T01:00:28Z | https://www.jacksonville.com/sports/20181220/jaguars-opponent-glance-dolphins-are-6-1-at-home-1-6-on-road?src=rss |

Companies taking advantage of the Meeting Management Service of London Registrars may find the findings of a recent survey by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to be of relevance to their own business’s operations.
The poll of 851 managers in the UK found that inappropriate comments and gender bias in hiring and promotion decisions, as well as gender inequality in pay and rewards, remained prevalent in many organisations.
Four in five of the survey respondents said they had witnessed some form of workplace gender bias or discrimination over the previous 12 months.
When asked what specific behaviours they had witnessed, 50% of respondents claimed to have seen gender bias in recruitment and promotion decisions, while 42% pointed to inequality in pay and rewards.
69% - more than two-thirds – of managers stated that they had seen women struggling to make their views heard in meetings, and 81% cited inappropriate remarks, such as comments with sexualised overtones masquerading as ‘banter’.
The research also found that men were less likely than women to notice gender discriminatory behaviour, although there were also firm indications of progress and a wider will to change.
Caroline Dinenage, Minister for Women, Equalities and Early Years, commented: “Gender discrimination is completely unacceptable – women should never be held back just because of their gender.
“Shining a light on this issue is absolutely key to achieving equality in the workplace, which is why we are introducing requirements on all large employers to publish their gender pay and bonus data from April.
The poll found strong support for gender equality among men, with 84% in favour of a gender balanced workplace. The survey also showed that three-quarters believed men in senior leadership positions had a particular responsibility to assist talented women in the development of their careers.
CMI CEO Ann Francke stated: “It’s amazing that four in five managers have witnessed some form of gender-biased behaviour at work in the past year. Achieving a better gender balance is essential to boosting the UK’s productivity, which lags far behind our G7 competitors.

Will The Batman Reboot Be Based On The Arkham Games?
With the reports that Warner Bros. will doing the opposite of what Marvel has done and have the Justice League release before any individual character films come out, spare Man Of Steel, speculation about the films for the Flash, Aquaman, and a Batman reboot has been relatively quiet. However, the Batman reboot is rumored to quickly follow Justice League and some fans have expressed the desire that the films follow the plot of the acclaimed Arkham games. It seems like a good idea and those fans may be in luck, as there is now news that Warner has registered a series of domain names featuring various Arkham-related titles.
It appears that Warner has been secretly buying up the domain names through the same company that it uses for warnerbros.com and other domains such as the ones for the 300 prequel.
Check out the full list of domain names registered below.
So the question with all these domains is are they just for the next Arkham video game, or will the Batman reboot be based on the games? I don’t think a film set in the world of the games is all that farfetched of a possibility. The games are just about the coolest thing to happen to superheroes since Spider-Man got a comic book, and the plot of the games is a much better story than most superhero movies. With some slight tweaking, they would make for absolutely awesome films.
Justice League could somehow set up Batman being sent to Arkham City too and the whole movie could take place within the world created by that game. Of course, a major problem with opting for an plot based on the games is the Joker is a pretty necessary part of that world, and it may be too soon for fans to accept another actor filling the gaping hole left by Heath Ledger. That being said, someone has to take on the character again at some point, so why not have it happen sooner rather than later. I just don’t envy the actor whose every move will be compared to that of Ledger’s.
Then again, it’s always possible that Warner is simply registering these domains for no other reason than to protect its intellectual property, but this mass registering leads me to believe something more is happening.
Again, with no official announcement made, this is all speculation for now, but be sure to check back as we’ll keep you updated with any information that comes in.
