If you thought Sarkodie, Tinny, Guru and some other hiplife artistes are musicians, you might be mistaken, as Gyedu Blay Ambolley, music legend is saying they are not musicians.
According to the legendary musician, making some ‘noise’ and putting electronic beats together cannot be regarded as music in anyway and advised the media to desist from calling that music.
Gyedu Blay Amboley is the first musician from Ghana to formally incorporate rap forms into local High Life rhythms. He has previously ‘fought’ with Reggie Rockstone on who actually pioneered rap music. Ambolley plays the saxophone and bass guitar. | 2019-04-26T08:26:34Z | http://www.derofm.com/2018/05/i-get-shocked-when-people-call-sarkodie.html |
This single origin comprises coffee from twenty farmers who are dedicating themselves to organic methods in a region long defined by industrialized agriculture. Led by the indefatigable João Hamilton, the group has come together to open the brand-new Center for Excellence, an educational hub and processing center, where this very coffee was hand-blended by João. Not far from the Center is Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (FAF), the first farm in the area to spark sustainable farming practices in Brazil’s coffeelands. Little did FAF know, years ago, that its efforts would inspire a coffee like this, which is intensely sweet and aromatic.
Our coffees go through a rigorous selection and quality-testing process, and we only share the coffees that have most captured our imaginations.

Lunanshee's Lunacy: Now Presenting Kimberly!
Kimberly, my fellow YA Librarian and voracious reader, has agreed to be a weekly guest blogger on Lunanshee's Lunacy! I am very excited about this as Kimberly reviewing for this blog since her reading preferences vary greatly from my own. So now this blog will have a more diverse pool of reviewed books and YA programming ideas. | 2019-04-24T12:38:15Z | http://www.lunanshee.com/2012/05/now-presenting-kimberly.html |
Disputes arise frequently in the construction industry, especially in Florida. Contractors and homeowners may disagree on many things during a construction project, such as a contractual obligation, construction defects, proper contractor licensing and application of county and state building codes. To best ensure your investment is protected you should consult an attorney before beginning and throughout your project. An attorney can help you avoid or alleviate common construction nightmares such as unlicensed or unpermitted contracting, construction or financing payment disputes and construction liens, to name a few issues.
The first Florida Mechanics Lien Law was created in 1887 by the Florida Legislature. If you provide either materials or labor to improve property in Florida, you can secure payment through a lien on the property. The downturn of the real estate market in Florida created a huge surge in construction disputes. Florida Lien laws protect contractors and sub-contractors that provide materials or services and do not receive payment within a timely manner. | 2019-04-22T01:02:40Z | https://www.peartlaw.com/Construction_Law.html |
Abrupt climate change is rapidly turning the American West into a desert. But a culture in denial continues rampant suburbanization, fueled by the delusion that our water supply is inexhaustible.
The polar bear on its shrinking ice floe has become the urgent icon of global warming and runaway climate change. Even the flat-earther in the White House now concedes that the magnificent bears may be doomed to extinction as the sea ice melts and the Arctic Ocean is transformed into open blue water for the first time in millions of years. Humanity’s “great geophysical experiment,” as the oceanographer Roger Revelle long ago characterized the steeply rising curve of carbon dioxide emission, has knocked nature off its Holocene foundations in the circumpolar lands.
But the Arctic is not the only theater of spectacular and unequivocal climate change, nor are the polar bears the only heralds of a new age of chaos. Consider, for example, some of Ursus maritimus‘s distant relatives: the black bears that forage happily but ominously in the fabled Chisos Mountains of Texas’s Big Bend National Park. They may be the messengers of an environmental transformation in the Borderlands almost as radical as that taking place in Alaska or Greenland.
While hiking en route to Emory Peak on a preternaturally warm day in January 2002, with my mind still haunted by the apocalyptic images of the previous September, I made the nodding acquaintance of an antic and harmless young bear in a trail camp. Apparitions of bears are always slightly magical, and I presumed the encounter was an affirmation of a still largely unspoiled wilderness. In fact, as I was startled to learn from a ranger the next day, the young bear was, so to speak, a mojado–the offspring of recent undocumented immigrants from the other side of the Rio Grande.
Black bears had been common in the Chisos when it was the quasi-mythical redoubt of Mescalero Apache and Comanche raiders in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but ranchers relentlessly hunted them to extinction in the early twentieth century. Then, almost miraculously in the early 1980s, bears reappeared amid the madrone and pine of Emory Peak. Astonished wildlife biologists surmised that the bears had migrated from the Sierra del Carmen in Coahuila, swimming the Rio Grande and crossing forty miles of furnace-hot desert to reach the Chisos, a promised land of docile deer and abundant garbage.
Like the jaguars that have re-established themselves in the border mountains of Arizona in recent years or, for that matter, the blood-sucking chupacabra of norteño folklore who has reputedly been seen in the suburbs of Los Angeles, the black bears are part of an epic migration of wildlife as well as people al otro lado. Although no one knows exactly why the bears, big cats and legendary vampires are moving northward, one plausible hypothesis is that they are adjusting their ranges and populations to a new reign of drought in northern Mexico and the US Southwest.
The human case is clear-cut: Abandoned ranchitos and near-ghost towns throughout Coahuila, Chihuahua and Sonora testify to the relentless succession of dry years–beginning in the 1980s but assuming truly catastrophic intensity in the late 1990s–that has pushed hundreds of thousands of poor rural people toward the sweatshops of Ciudad Juárez and the barrios of Los Angeles.
In some years, “exceptional drought” has engulfed the entire Plains from Canada to Mexico; in other years, crimson conflagrations on weather maps have crept down the Gulf Coast to Louisiana or crossed the Rockies to the interior Northwest. But the semipermanent epicenters have remained the basins of the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers, as well as northern Mexico.
By 2003, for example, Lake Powell had fallen by nearly eighty feet in three years, and crucial reservoirs along the Rio Grande were barely more than mud puddles. The Southwestern winter of 2005-06, meanwhile, was one of the driest on record, and Phoenix went 143 days without a single drop of rain. Rare interruptions in the drought, like the Noachian monsoon of last summer (parts of El Paso received an incredible thirty inches of rain), have been insufficient to adequately recharge aquifers or refill reservoirs, and in 2006 both Arizona and Texas reported the worst drought losses to crops and herds in history (about $7 billion altogether).
Persistent drought, like melting ice, rapidly reorganizes ecosystems and transforms entire landscapes. Without sufficient moisture to produce protective sap, millions of acres of pinyon and ponderosa pine have been ravaged by plagues of bark beetles; these dead forests, in turn, have helped to kindle the firestorms that have burst into the suburbs of Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Denver, as well as destroyed part of Los Alamos. In Texas the grasslands have also burned–nearly 2 million acres in 2006 alone–and as topsoil blows away, prairies are reverting to desert.
This extraordinary forecast–“the imminent drying of the U.S. southwest”–is a byproduct of the monumental computational effort that has been mounted by nineteen separate climate models (including the flagship outfits at Boulder, Princeton, Exeter and Hamburg) for the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The IPPC, of course, is the supreme court of climate science, established by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988 to assess research on global warming and its impacts. Although President Bush now grudgingly accepts the IPCC warning that the Arctic is rapidly melting, he has probably not yet registered the possibility that his ranch in Crawford might someday become a sand dune.
Climatologists studying tree rings and other natural archives have long been aware that the 1922 Colorado River Compact, which allocates water to the rapidly urbanizing oases of the Southwest, is based on a twenty-one-year record (1899-1921) of river flow that, far from being an average, is actually the wettest anomaly in at least 450 years. More recently, they have gained an understanding of how persistent La Niñas (cold episodes in the eastern equatorial Pacific) can interact with warm spells in the subtropical North Atlantic to generate droughts in the Plains and Southwest that can endure for decades.
But, as Seager emphasized in Washington, the IPCC simulations point to something very different from the arid episodes catalogued in Lamont’s North American Drought Atlas (a state-of-the-art compendium of tree-ring records from 2 BC to the present). Unexpectedly, it is the base climate itself, not just its perturbations, that is changing.
Moreover, this abrupt transition to a new, more extreme climate (“unlike any in the last millennium, and probably in the Holocene”) arises not out of fluctuations in ocean temperatures but from “changing patterns of atmospheric circulation and water vapor transport that arise as a consequence of atmospheric warming.” In a nutshell, the dry lands will become more arid, and the humid lands, wetter. And the drying of the West will be accompanied by blast-furnace heat: IPCC’s new report includes an astonishing prediction that temperatures in the American West will increase by an average of nine degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century.
Yet mere scientific pronouncement, even to the thunder of nineteen unanimous climate models, is unlikely to cause much of a flutter in golf-course suburbs of Phoenix, where luxury lifestyles consume 400 gallons of water per capita each day. Nor will it stop the bulldozers shaping monstrous strip suburbs of Las Vegas (a projected 160,000 new homes) along US 93 all the way to Kingman, Arizona. Nor, despite possible pumping out of the vast Ogallala Aquifer, the underground water resource lying under eight states in the Great Plains, will it prevent Texas from doubling its population by 2040.
Despite a lot of recent sloganeering about “smart growth” and intelligent water use, desert developers are still stamping out burbs in the same “dumb,” environmentally inefficient mold that has blighted Southern California for generations. The trump card of the free-enterprise Southwest, moreover, is that the majority of the water stored within the Colorado River and Rio Grande systems is still dedicated to irrigated agriculture.
Even if “peak water” has now come and gone, desert sprawl can sustain itself in the medium run by killing cotton and alfalfa, while the big growers stay rich selling their federally subsidized water to thirsty suburbs. A prototype of this restructuring is already visible in California’s Imperial Valley, where San Diego has been aggressively buying water entitlements. As a result, an attentive air traveler will notice a recent increase in dead squares within the Valley’s emerald checkerboard of alfalfa and melons.
As water becomes more expensive, the burden of adjustment to the new climatic and hydrological regime will fall on subaltern groups like farmworkers (jobs threatened by water transfers), the urban poor (who could easily see water charges soar by $100 to $200 per month), hardscrabble ranchers (including many Native Americans) and, especially, the imperiled rural populations of Northern Mexico.
Conservative politics in Arizona and Texas will become even more envenomed and ethnically charged, if that is possible. The Southwest is already sown everywhere with violent nativism and what can only be described as proto-fascism: In the droughts to come, they may be the only seeds to germinate.
As Jared Diamond points out in his recent bestseller Collapse, the ancient Anasazi did not succumb simply to drought but rather to the impact of unexpected aridity upon an over-exploited landscape inhabited by people little prepared to make sacrifices in their “expensive lifestyle.” In the last instance, they preferred to eat one another. | 2019-04-26T01:50:15Z | https://www.thenation.com/article/denial-desert/ |

#Merica! - Surly Brewing Co. #Merica! - Surly Brewing Co.
Brewed For: Sketchy Fireworks and Trans Am Owners.
Light gold in color, #Merica! is an old-school pre-Prohibition American Lager that was brewed in 2015 for the Annual D4th of July party put on by the Minneapolis-based punk band Dillinger Four. One of the only beer styles truly born in the U.S.A, pre-Prohibition American Lagers used corn as an integral part of the flavor profile, rather than as a simple substitute for barley malt. The flaked corn used in #Merica! comes across as a subtle, fresh corn flavor, while soft hop aromatics come from Warrior and Willamette hops, which add a mild fruity, herbal character that stays in the background. #Merica! is perfect for a hot summer day and celebrating the country’s birthday and 21 years of Dillinger Four.

It really is harder. It’s a consistent winner of worst state in which to do business. Patricia was thinking about doing a franchise, but the thought of being an employer here is frightening to me.
A former company I worked at moved from CA to WA. They said it was for the ’employees.’ But coincidentally they had, had a number of former employees take them to court. When they moved to WA, they had a meeting with two of us to tell us the raise we would get when we went to WA with them. We both went (other programmers took jobs in TX.) Once in WA the raises failed to occur.
I left them for a year to work at a CA startup that offered me 5% of the company (in writing, but not signed) that company did great but I never got my 5%. I ended up back with my former employer in WA (they had offered me the same raise they didn’t produce before if I stayed with them. Uh huh.) They didn’t offer the raise when I went back.
This my children is why you need six months of emergency income stashed away.
It’s funny. When I saw this story linked on Insty this morning, I said “I bet this will be a Coyote Blog story”.
My wife is a retired nurse. Her job for the last five years of her career was doing case management via phone for a major insurance company. She handled the medical care of her clients and had nothing to do with the financial side of the business. Her caseload spanned several states and involved worker’s compensation insurance. She constantly complained about her California clients. Almost every one got a lawyer, which greatly slowed down the process because all of her communications with the client had to go through the lawyer. It didn’t matter if it was scheduling a medical exam or physical therapy, she had to go through the lawyer first. Of course, the lawyer was after billable hours but the end result is that even simple cases would drag out for months or even years. Of course, that’s what most of the clients wanted. They saw the insurance as “free money” and wanted to keep getting it for as long as possible. And to think, some people complain about the cost of worker’s compensation insurance in California. Things like this are a big reason why it’s so expensive there.

Regarding the knowledge of the MacCrimmon music, or sol-fa notation, there can be no doubt that Captain MacLeod, Gesto, noted it down exactly as it was pronounced, and as John MacCrimmon uttered it, and there is nothing to show that he did not know it as his forebears did. He was the last of them employed at Dunvegan Castle by the Chief, and it is not likely that he hid anything from Gesto. Who was “the real MacCrimmon, who died long before Captain MacLeod was born,” and why was John MacCrimmon “not a shadow of the great race of his forefathers, who came hundreds of years before him?” No doubt some of his predecessors may have been greater pipers. Gesto held that Patrick Mor was the best of them, and he must have known as well in his day as Mr. Grant does of the present day, but as to a “lost secret that is dead to this world forever,” it may be allowed to rest there. If Mr. Grant has discovered it, he should take out a patent for it. On the other hand, if Dr. Bannatyne, Mr. Simon Fraser, and Lieut. MacLennan can interpret the Pibrochs in Gesto’s book, any Court would allow them to take out a patent also. No doubt the MacCrimmon notation was as perfect as it could be in the absence of staff notation, and that is, in all human probability, what John MacCrimmon had, and transmitted to posterity through Captain MacLeod of Gesto. The whole question can be very much simplified by sticking to the notation in Gesto’s book, and if other people can interpret that in staff notation to suit the notation in the canntaireachd, what does it matter about a supposed loss secret, which may or may not be true? Captain MacLeod did not write an autobiography of his life. Other fellows in the history, and in that history the Rev. Alexander McGregor, and in Gesto personally, says distinctly that “he had a large manuscript collection of the MacCrimmon piobaireachds as noted by themselves, and part of it was apparently very old and yellow in the paper from age,” etc. He does not say that he counted them, but states: “I should think that the MS. I saw with him would contain upwards of two hundred piobaireachds from the bulk of it, and out of that MS. he selected 20 or so, which he published as specimens.” Now it is quite clear that he had a quantity of MS. piobaireachds, noted by the MacCrimmons themselves, and there was nothing to prevent him from comparing these with John MacCrimmons sol-fa in picking up the great “secret,” if it existed.
Mr. Grant quotes the tune No. 3 in Gesto’s book at the “crunluath,” or finishing measure, and says “there are seven syllables in each movement, or group of notes, whereas there should only be five,” and asks Dr. Bannatyne and myself to explain. The first line of the last part referred to is: “hiodratatateriri,hodrotatateriri, hiendatatateriri, hodratatateriri.” (Headmasters of schools please note.) Will Mr. Grant please write out his syllables, each separate from the editor, that we may see what his divisions are for? I presume he considers the rest of the pibroch correct. This may throw some light on the subject. He minimises Captain MacLeod works very much, but he has no idea of the man he depreciates so freely. I have strong evidence that Gesto could play the pipes, and was an excellent performer on the violin, and a good disciplinarian he was. He used to accompany his daughters on the piano with the violin, and was very intolerant of false notes. The consequence was that all the young ladies who frequented Gesto were the best players in Skye. He taught Sandy Bruce of Glenelg his pibrochs, and others as well. One young man took an interest in I would say to him: “I won’t let you go till you do I hodroho, hodroho, harranin, hiechin, etc., properly.” He was the first to brought a piano in the carriage to Skye, and was all round a man of great action, and worthy of the race from whom he sprang. | 2019-04-20T14:26:30Z | http://pmjohngrant.com/2011/10/ot-1-june-1912-the-secrets-of-canntaireachd-k-n-macdonald/ |
Colorado motorists must have auto insurance. To this end, the County Motor Vehicle Office is required to verify proof of insurance prior to registering a motor vehicle.
A letter from your insurance agent or insurer on company letterhead verifying insurance overage.
Insurance companies may be from another state, but must be licensed in Colorado or be authorized to do business in Colorado.
The law became effective July 1, 1999. Visit: Rule 46. Application for Registration-Proof of Insurance for more information.
Insurance companies are required to submit vehicle and driver information to the chosen vendor, EXPLORE, who builds and maintains an insurance identification database. The database matches vehicle registrations with current insurance records.
If the database matches a vehicle with insurance, the county records will show that a vehicle has insurance. If the county records show that a vehicle does not have valid insurance coverage, once we have verified proof of insurance, the county will advise you to notify your insurance agency to supply EXPLORE with the appropriate information. This is your and your agent's responsibility. | 2019-04-26T09:55:22Z | https://www.pitkincounty.com/311/Insurance-Requirements |
So have you been waiting for someone who knows "evangelical" stuff to write the "big picture" of what is going on in the Wheaton College wars?
That is precisely what veteran Washington Post religion-beat pro Michaelle Boorstein asked former GetReligionista Sarah Pulliam Bailey to do the other day. I especially appreciated that this journalistic view from 5,000 feet (or higher) involved the angle that GetReligion has been talking about from Day 1 -- the "who gets to define what 'evangelical' means, especially when jobs are at stake?"
I was actually on vacation when the news first broke, so I came back to the story trying to sort out what actually happened, who said what when, why it had turned into such a nightmare for the college. I saw a lot of people posting really simplistic reactions, like the college is racist or the professor equates Islam with Christianity, so clearly people didn't understand the complexities.
I asked our higher education reporter if I should disclose that I went (to Wheaton College). She said no, unless I'm on some alumni association or something. We have UVA grads report on UVA, etc. It's pretty easy to find through Facebook or Linked In or pretty much anywhere that I went there, but we didn't feel like it was necessary to stamp on the story itself.
So what are the real issues in this doctrinal skirmish?
The underlying theological debate taking place among evangelicals is complex, and accusations of Islamophobic bigotry or a betrayal of the Christian gospel are not uncommon. The debate has centered on how the Christian belief in a Trinitarian God -- God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit -- differs from the God of Islam and Judaism.
Theologians have debated whether Christians and Muslims understand God in the same way, and if so, whether they worship the same “one God.” Do they define the word “worship” in the same way?
So here is a question that I have been waiting for someone to ask. What are the relevant passages in the Wheaton College doctrinal statement? Might someone at least offer readers a description -- with a relevant URL -- of what is in there?
To state the obvious: I have not taught at Wheaton College. However, I have taught at two other Christian liberal arts colleges and it's pretty easy to see that this story is unfolding on multiple levels.
Like what? Bailey's story notes that this conflict truly became dangerous when it got personal and, in particular, when Hawkins decided that she was being asked to defend her own beliefs to a greater degree than previous professors who have clashed with the school. Thus, she has gone silent. Trenches are being dug.
It doesn't help that questions have been raised about where Hawkins stands on other hot-button moral and doctrinal issues. As Bailey's story makes clear, these are tense times at Wheaton when it comes to culture wars of all kinds.
My hunch is that -- looming in the background -- is the fact that Wheaton Provost Stanton L. Jones had already announced that he would step down from that post at the end of this academic year. So do you think there are divisions inside the Wheaton faculty on a host of issues, doctrinal and moral, and that it is crucial who becomes the next provost (the chief academic officer) in these tense times? You think?
So what are you waiting for? Read it all. | 2019-04-26T08:09:31Z | https://www.getreligion.org/getreligion/2016/1/25/sarah-pulliam-bailey-takes-deep-dive-into-wheaton-wars-and-conflicts-inside-evangelicalism |
Boats with a variable air draught (e.g. sailing boats with a mast that can be lowered or boats with a wheel house that can be lowered) can be handled as different boats in the fleet list: a simple + behind the name can indicate which is the one with the highest air draught. This allows a quick change from one situation to the other, simply by clicking on the other vessel in the fleet list.
Contrarily to what one would expect, there doesn’t always seem to be a logical relation between “authorised” (in the UK: “recommended” dimensions and “available” (i.e.. physical) dimensions of certain waterways. In some waterways of class I locks and bridges are found that would allow a complete push tow to pass. In France, however, some bridges in canals that formally are accessible for boats of 3,50 air draught, appear to be quite a few inches lower! It is not really possible to grasp these differences, but it’s good to know that some authorities use margins when establishing the recommended or authorised dimensions. Whenever possible, PC-Navigo uses the real dimensions.

Trust is at the core of capitalism. Without trust, transactions do not take place. And when transactions do not take place, people do not have opportunities to exchange value with one another to fulfill each other’s needs. A profound example of the importance of trust in business is Amazon. The Amazon online marketplace empowered all people in the world — regardless of nationality, race, gender or religion — to buy and sell goods to each other. The trust in the brand’s “why” of putting the customer first and the proof of that belief brought to life in the seller rating system created space for a confident buying experience. Before platforms like Amazon, it was considered a risk to buy goods from a random seller in a far away country. Now, we do it every day.
We can focus on being different from the competition, or we can focus on creating difference for our customers. Choosing the latter creates an intention to transform the lives of our customers instead of an intention to simply persuade them to buy what we sell. Creating products and experiences that transform our customers increases our positive impact on them, and the world gets a little bit better. This transformative intention is the core of purpose. Products and customer service experiences that align with purpose become more and more valuable to customers. Benefits of this value include willingness to pay more, increased brand loyalty and advocacy.
The beauty of a company purpose that doubles down on transforming the lives of customers is its effect on employees. When employees feel like they are contributing to a purpose that is truly serving others with pure intentions, they experience meaning in their work. When this happens, every small, daily task feels like it is a small part of a bigger movement. This feeling empowers employees at every level of the company to experience real-time fulfillment. That means, instead of waiting until the weekend or their next paycheck to receive a jolt of motivation, they get it every day. Increasing fulfillment leads to increasing motivation to fight through the daily grind of a tough job. The company’s purpose serves as the intrinsic motivator for each employee to want to produce quality products and give customers inspiring experiences. Simply put, purpose inspires and empowers a company’s workforce to positively impact themselves, each other, the customers and the community. Centering a company around one common “why” that serves others is truly the ultimate winning experience for all stakeholders.
All in all, injecting purpose into every single aspect of an organization creates one profound culture of meaning. When you can inspire employees to show up for themselves, empower customers to buy with loyalty, leave a lasting impact on the community and increase profit by doing so, you will win every single time. What organization would not want all that?

These cars are just a wee bit small for my taste! No quite enough space between me and the outside world...LOL I drive a PT Cruiser which isn't very big, but has lots of room inside of it.

Construction of the hill fort has been dated to some time between 440BC and 390BC, but it was destroyed before completion.
The fort's stone wall was broken apart and the rubble used to fill the 400m perimeter ditch, where the skeletons were found.
A second, outer wall and ditch had been started but not finished. | 2019-04-19T23:14:55Z | https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post.php/95717/news/fin_cop.html |
The small railed garden is now publicly accessible.
St George's Terrace was built c.1852, with a strip of communal garden in front of the houses that was owned partly by the Provost and College of Eton and partly by the Trustees of the Broder Estate, the dividing line marked by three stones in the ground. Tenants of the terrace were able to use the garden upon payment of an annual sum. A former resident of the terrace was Lord Byron's widow who lived in Nos. 10-11, where she died in 1860.
The site is open daily until dusk.

Sad to hear that Carl is no more.
It sounds like he was a great influence on figure painting and a all-round good, he will be missed.
Sorry to hear about his passing Willie.
He was a very unique man and will be sorely missed. You're correct in that there probably would be no flat painters in the U.S. if it weren't for Carl. I fondly remember teasing Carl when he went to one of the other vendors at MFCA and bought an Africa Corps tee-shirt. He looked at me, puffed out his chest and said "I vass in the Africa Corp.!"
It was Carl that got me into flats, and was for years my advisor and friend. He will be truly missed.
Through Carl I was able to purchase two sets I had been hunting years for, first Wimor's Cassanova A Night in Venice and then Western Miniatures Alice which I had been looking for information on for 11 years. Those were my first entry into going with flats in a major way and being able to find what I saw elsewhere.
He was always a gentleman to speak to and deal with. He made a big difference to many folks interested in flats in the United States, myself included.
My condolences go out to you and his all his family.
It is with deep regret that report the passing of my dear friend and mentor Carl Gruen.
Carl, for all intents and purposes, introduced the flat figure to painters here in the USA.
His passion for his beloved zinnfigur was only surpassed by his knowledge thereof. | 2019-04-19T07:39:07Z | http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=1361.0 |

Designing and producing the Family Violence Prevention Toolkit was a great opportunity to be involved in creating a tangible product and important resource for communities nationally.
Stopping Violence Against Women Before It Starts: A Practical Toolkit for Communities was formally launched by Minister Julie Collins at the Country Women’s Association Australian National Conference, in Hobart. View ABC coverage of the launch below.
The toolkit consists of a full colour presentation folder and 15 double sided fact sheets. A focus on legibility, reproducibility and pick up appeal were key in the design process. Hard copies of the toolkit are available for purchase and a free digital version can be downloaded from the National Rural Women’s Network website. | 2019-04-20T22:08:46Z | https://andrewwapling.com/project/family-violence-prevention-toolkit-design/ |

Just for fun, I’d like to share a small anniversary with you: this month marks 10 years since I turned in my first cover illustration for my first issue of Junior Skeptic (bound within Skeptic magazine). It’s an especially meaningful occasion for me because I usually consider myself an artist first (or at least an illustrator) and a skeptical writer second.
Featuring Cadborosaurus (Vancouver Island’s own regional, West Coast iteration of the Great Sea Serpent of the North Atlantic), this cover was something of a labor of love. It was my first shot at Junior Skeptic, as a one-time thing. It could only be about Cadborosaurus. I’ve previously described how I (like many skeptics) came to the skeptical literature as a direct continuation from my passion for paranormal mysteries. Of all paranormal topics, cryptozoology bit hardest and deepest—and of all the roaring, stomping, kickass (yet elusive!) cryptids to fall for, I have always most loved Cadborosaurus. An 80-foot sea serpent sliding undetected through the very waters off my childhood home? A cryptid I might glimpse while roasting marshmallows on a storm-swept beach? Who could resist—especially when my own parents once saw Cadborosaurus with their own eyes?
I’m very excited to announce that Ankylosaur Attack, my first paleofiction storybook for young children (illustrated with Jim W.W. Smith) is among the 2013 Forest of Reading® Silver Birch® Express Award nominees revealed this morning by the Ontario Library Association. This will make the book part of Ontario’s province-wide school and library reading program—the largest such program in Canada.
I’d like to express my immense gratitude to the Ontario Library Association for this nomination (and of course to my publisher, Kids Can Press). The Forest of Reading awards are exceptionally competitive in every category, and it’s an honor to be in such fine company. (My nonfiction Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be was nominated for the Silver Birch nonfiction award, which went that year to my friend Valerie Wyatt—Editor of both Evolution and Ankylosaur Attack, and veteran of over a hundred other children’s books).
The dogs days of summer were finally ending, and I was glad. The heat waves that have fried the U.S. all summer long were still hanging on in late August. The kids were trapped inside the house in the air conditioning, since there’s no way to play outside in the 105-degree heat, humidity, and smog, and even running an errand is unpleasant and potentially dangerous when the car is 140 degrees inside after you open it. Besides, there’s no place to go for them to get exercise in the air conditioning: they’ve outgrown McDonalds play lands, and I don’t want to spend money in a mall or in those overpriced indoor entertainment complexes. The boys had a few days left before school starts, and then they resume a regular healthy routine, and they’re occupied again. In the meantime, they lounged around the house in their pajamas till afternoon, with the TV blaring Cartoon Network non-stop while they play with and build their Legos. Any time we suggested an activity for them, they may engage for a while, then it’s back to goofing off. It’s summer, they’re kids, and they have no obligations. We already did the family trip to Colorado for my field work, and had our planned activities back in June and July. And I was counting the days until they were back in school and on a healthier routine.
Forty years. In some contexts, it’s not very long, but in the span of a human lifetime, it’s huge. Only a few generations ago, most humans did not live past their 40th year, and in some parts of the developing world, they still don’t. However, in the Western World, most of us can not only assume that we’ll live at least 40 years, but many of us will survive for 80 years or more. Still, 40 years is a long span of time, when most people can assume that life will have changed in many ways and thrown a lot of surprises at them.
Bigfoot and aliens — groooan — are so outdated. Right?
Yes and no. They’re outdated, so far as the amount of work left to do to educate the general public; almost nobody takes them seriously anymore. But they’re not at all outdated as far as being in the public consciousness. Almost everyone knows about them, and that’s critical to the mission of science education.
Having taught for 33 years at small nationally-ranked liberal arts colleges (Vassar, Knox, and Occidental) where teaching is a priority over research, I’ve seen pedagogical fads come and go. It seems like every 2-3 years the college brings in some pedagogical “expert” to tell us experienced professors that we were doing it all wrong for years, despite the excellent responses and teaching evaluations that we receive. I’ve sat through endless committee meetings and workshops where they try to get us to follow their “one size fits all” approaches to pedagogy. In some fields where discussion of everyday experience is the norm, they insist that we should make every class a discussion section, and let students “discover for themselves” what the field is about. I’m all in favor of “active learning,” as the current fad is called, but there are limits to where it is applicable. Some subjects, such as most of the natural sciences, are “content-heavy” and require that the students be exposed to a certain minimum amount of material, or they cannot take the next course in our highly structured and sequential curriculum. We try to make up for it by giving students all the “active learning” we can in lab sections, where they handle the materials and do the experiments themselves. But even in a small liberal arts college where the largest lecture section is limited to 32 students, it’s a severe challenge to “cover the material” and expect the student to also take an active role in every lecture. When some humanities professor tell us science faculty that we should turn Intro Chemistry into a non-stop discussion section, we all just laugh at their cluelessness. Not only do we have the constraints of a large amount of material to cover so the student can take the next course in the sequence, but in the case of chemistry and biology, there are MCAT and GRE exams that also have an expectation of a certain amount of “content” mastered by the students’ third year. Nonetheless, the reality is that the content-driven lecture is an essential element of at least some college courses. You may be able to get away from them in some subjects in the humanities and social sciences where every person has at least some valid expertise or ability to form an opinion, but it won’t work with a lot of the material we cover in the natural sciences, since so much of it is alien to one’s everyday experience and few students could have a meaningful debate about the merits of some reaction in organic chemistry.
This is not to say that I don’t integrate “active learning” techniques in my lecture whenever I can. They can range from simple things like passing a specimen of a rock or fossil around and make sure they are all see or feel what I’m describing; or getting them to all stand up in their seats, and then having the men and women sit down in 2:1 ratios as if they were atoms paired up into crystals and settling out of a magma chamber. I frequently pose questions to the class and wait patiently til someone comes up with the answer, giving them a few hints along the way if necessary. I’ve got amusing cartoons that make the point interspersed here and there through my slides; I try to make sly references to cultural phenomena or things the students can relate to, or poke fun at familiar movie plot devices that are geologically impossible. I try to pose realistic scenarios (especially on exam questions, which are all essay style) so that they can show they understand how their knowledge applies to the real world, and not just how well they can memorize and regurgitate a list of facts.
Working on refinements to my upcoming cryptozoology book with Skepticblog’s own Don Prothero (due out later in 2012) gave me a chance yesterday to dip back into Harvard psychologist Susan Clancy’s fascinating 2005 book about her studies of alien abductees, Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens. I thought I might share a couple of passages from the book here, partly because they dovetail so nicely with my own “Reasonableness of Weird Things” arguments.
Clancy’s area of primary interest is not skeptical investigation of paranormal claims, but false memory. To perform an “honest broker” service as thorough and reliable guides to the evidence on paranormal topics, skeptical investigators are ethically obliged to seriously consider the (unlikely) possibility of paranormal phenomena. In her own work with abductees, Clancy’s obligations were different. She felt justified in taking it pretty much for granted that her subjects had not been kidnapped by space aliens. Abductees were, for Clancy, a proxy group to allow her to examine questions related to a separate population’s “recovered” memories of childhood sexual abuse. | 2019-04-23T08:25:49Z | https://www.skepticblog.org/tag/education/ |

Going to the movies alone is probably one of my most favorite therapeutic things in the world. I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to watching movies (people talking, people chewing popcorn loudly, people clapping??!, people giving unnecessarily loud comments, people talking on their cellphones! ughh) so going solo is practically perfect for me and I've been doing it regularly every week for the past two months! I didn't get to do this while I was in Singapore because the theatres were ALWAYS so crowded with teenagers (ugh) so it'd beat the purpose of going alone. Here in SF though, the cinemas don't get that many crowd on weekdays and IT IS SO PEACEFUL in there. It happened more than once that I got the whole theatre to myself which is pretty awesome. Goshhhh just the thought of going there every week got me really excited.

One of the many reasons Rolex owners choose The Watch Buyers Group for the proper repair of their Rolex watch is that, while we only use factory Rolex parts in servicing a watch, we don’t have the same strict rules about working on watches with non-Rolex parts. A Rolex with custom additions is considered a fake watch, in the eyes of Rolex. They won’t service a watch with any custom parts. This presents a major issue for thousands of Rolex owners who have to customized, or personalized, their watch. We feel that taking such a hardline on Rolex repair isn’t realistic. Can you imagine if you purchased a brand new Ford truck, then put different wheels and tires on it, just to have the Ford tell you that it’s no longer a genuine Ford?
That said, this post is actually how not all custom accessories are created equally. The owner of the above watch had a diamond bezel, which is approximately 1 carat of diamonds bead-set into 18k yellow gold, added some years back (not by us). At that time they also had the dial added. It’s almost impossible to tell, but that is actually a mother of pearl surface (again, we didn’t sell them this dial). The customer found out about us through their homeowner’s insurance provider to repair or replace the damaged bezel. Not only were these additions poorly constructed, but the low quality of the materials used actually made the watch look cheaper, not more expensive. In the end, we replaced both the bezel and the dial.
To be very clear, we only use custom parts for watches at the request of the owner and only for cosmetic purposes. Only new, original Rolex parts are used when we service a movement. Non-original parts, such as mainsprings, gears, wheels, and even aftermarket lubricants, will cost you hundreds of dollars in collateral damage down the line. We simply will not use anything other than 100% genuine Rolex parts internally. | 2019-04-22T11:04:45Z | https://www.thewatchbuyersgroup.com/rolex-customization/ |

A couple of my friends have recently asked if I planned to do a review of 2014. I’d like to; but time as always is against me! So I just thought I’d say a few words about the year with respect to my blog. Its been quite a remarkable 11 months since I kicked off with a review of the STRAWBS gig at TOUCHLINE LIVE MUSIC here in Essex. At first, I thought no one would be interested, but I was glad to see that’s not the case. Right from the off, I had quite a few followers. That first Strawbs review has remained one of the most popular too.
I’ve met a lot of helpful and interesting people during the course of the year – not just musicians; but promoters; writers; photographers; or just knowledgeable music lovers. Some of those musos I have been a fan of since my teens – MICKY MOODY and MARTIN TURNER to name but two especially. Its also very flattering when some of these musicians have personally invited me to gigs and sent CDs for me to review as well.
Anyway, here are just a few thoughts and facts on my blog’s year….
MOST POPULAR BLOG was #25, MTWA at Touchline Live Music. Second was The Move at the Boom Boom Club (#15). In third place was MTWA again (blog #5); and fourth. The Micky Moody Band at Coolham (#23). I’m glad to say that these entries are still attracting new readers through search engines too.
BEST ROCK ALBUM must go to VIRGIL AND THE ACCELERATORS for their superb second studio album Army Of Three. It was very flattering to be put on the Guest List by Virgil, and to meet and interview the band before their gig at the Touchline. (Blog #26). Looking forward to seeing what VATA will be up to in the new year.
BEST ROCK GIG for me was a difficult choice. I saw fabulous performances from THE MOVE; VATA; and the THE STRAWBS. But I’d say MTWA at The Touchline just wins by a whisker (Blog #25). Nice of Martin Turner to agree to an interview beforehand too. This coming year, so far, I plan to see FOCUS and the PINK FAIRIES.
BEST BLUES-ROCK ALBUM. Difficult! Could be LARRY MILLER’s Soldier Of The Line; BERNIE MARSDEN’s Shine; or LAURENCE JONES’ Temptation; but I’d choose DEBORAH BONHAM’s Spirit I think. I was hoping for an interview with her too, but she unfortunately had to cancel her gig at the Touchline due to a chest infection.
BEST BLUES ALBUM: I enjoyed JAMES ANTHONY’s Some People Get It, which he sent from Canada for me to review. (Blog #24); and MILTON ‘n’ FARROW’s Skiffleodeon – also given to me by the band to review (Blog #22). RUBY TIGER’s Vistas was excellent; as was MATT ANDERSEN’s Coal Mining Blues; but I took a shine to DANA GILLESPIE’s Cat’s Meow the most.
BEST BLUES GIG is another tough choice. Great shows by COCO MONTOYA (Blog #14); MICKY MOODY BAND (Blog #23); and RUBY AND THE REVELATORS (Blog #16); but the best for me, was the very special show put on for the BOOM BOOM CLUB’s 1,000th gig; which included superb performances from OTIS GRAND; ALAN DARBY; LAURENCE JONES and THE VOODOO SHEIKHS among others (Blog #30). In 2015 I’d like to see RED BUTLER and LARRY MILLER if I can.
BEST FOLK GIG I attended during the year was OXJAM MUSIC FESTIVAL in Exeter. A great selection of West Country folk acts in one afternoon. I was invited by my good friends in DEVONBIRD who played a wonderful little set – as did every artist present. (Blog entry #28).
BEST FOLK ALBUM in my opinion was ANGE HARDY’s The Lament Of The Black Sheep. I’m hoping to review soon (see Blog #32). Also in 2014, I heard ADRIAN NATION’s second album Fall Or Fly, which is excellent. As for 2015, I’m looking forward to the second DEVONBIRD album which should be released in the spring – they are recording as I write. For info on Devonbird, see Blog #4.
DOWNSIDES. I had a couple of negative comments made to me during the course of the year – one due to a misreading of my blog; and one due to a certain curmudgeonly singer-songwriter who wrote unpleasant and untrue things about me – even after I gave him a good review! I never intend to cause offence – in fact, I’ve been criticised for liking everything! Well, I do seem to! (I suppose if I didn’t like something, I wouldn’t write about it). Anyway, the vast majority of those I’ve written about; and my readers too, have been very complimentary and supportive indeed; so I didn’t loose any kip over it!
REGRETS: ‘…..I have few, but then again, too few to mention’! These surround missed gigs. I was particularly peeved at missing LARRY MILLER; and TERRY REID because I couldn’t get time off work; and DEBORAH BONHAM’s gig at the Touchline was cancelled (as I said above) due to the fact that the poor lady had a chest infection. I hope she’s well now and will play there soon.
FUTURE PROJECTS include a review of Ange Hardy’s Black Sheep album; an article on my friend, the song-writer TONY PARTIS; and continuing to go and see as many and as varied gigs as possible. I also plan to get into the studio myself to try to record some of my own songs (for what they’re worth!). And I shall continue to support and promote my friends’ projects too.
A SAD FAREWELL to those musicians who sadly passed away in 2014: JOHNNY WINTER (See my blog #17); JACK BRUCE; JOE COCKER; PHIL EVERLY; ACKER BILK; PETE SEEGER; BOBBY WOMACK; TOMMY RAMONE; ALVIN STARDUST; and LYNSEY DE PAUL. These luminaries will be sadly missed; but leave us a fine legacy in their work which their fans will cherish for all time. R.I.P. (My apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone).
THANKS to all those who have supported; encouraged; offered constructive criticism; advice; photos; and other pics; and generally taken the time to read my blog. Those people are too numerous to mention but they know who they are; so thank you one and all! Here’s looking forward to more of the same in 2015.

Keep up the good work phil! i’m enjoying the blogs greatly. When we get time i want to sit down and thrash out the CD versis Vinyl debate! I guess you are you a Vinyl man?
Definitely a vinyl man at heart, Rob, being a teenager in the 70s! And I’m glad to say its coming back. I need a new deck for my man-cave though. I like CDs too though. Still got a lot of cassettes as well. What I hate is downloads! | 2019-04-20T06:38:30Z | https://philthequill.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/31-a-review-of-the-year-2014/ |

In the year 1935, a strange, devastating storm unlike any other touched down on Canadian soil, blighting the land, mutating animals and granting disturbing supernatural powers to people who died within its energies. This was only the first of many such storms. Terrible wars ignited, channeling the predatory abilities of those changed, called Risen, and the miraculous technology made possible by using harnessed Storm energy as a power source. The British use their fantastic new science to keep their subjugated Canadian citizens in line and protected from the encroaching forces of the United States and the independent nation of Indigenous people, the Kegintági. The European Union became mercenaries, lending their fleet of airships and impressive firepower to the highest bidder and using payment to buy and hoard Storm technology. The underground Canadian army fills their ranks with undying soldiers with horrifying powers and use relentless guerilla warfare in an attempt to overthrow their oppressors by any means necessary. The warring countries create specialty squads comprised of mutated soldiers with wondrous powers and send them into the most dangerous situations possible. Players are a part of one of these "Storm Battalions" as they try to combat the threats to their country and stay human in a brave new world of monsters and warfare. Welcome to the new front lines. This book includes: History of this strange alternative earth A guide for creating new characters (human and their twisted counterparts) Details of the bizarre technology and gruesome powers that enhance these soldiers All the rules needed to play, powered by the Dynamic Gaming System A roster of heroes and villains alike, statistics of foes both large and small Three adventures that range in levels of danger. | 2019-04-19T18:36:39Z | https://diceygoblin.com/products/storm-battalion-accessories |

Belize and Guatemala have had their share of difficulties recently over the border dispute that exists between both countries, but the two countries have recently reached an agreement in criminal matters.
According to a report on the Guatemalan media, Foreign Ministers for both countries came to an agreement which indicates that criminals convicted in either party may serve sentences in their home country which allow for a more effective rehabilitation of prisoners.
The agreement will last for 10 years and is automatically extended for equal periods unless either party terminates it through a written notification through diplomatic channels, which take effect one year after the claim.
According to the report, the document signed is based on the agreement of a negotiating framework and measures of confidence-building between Guatemala and Belize signed on September 7th, 2005.
The intent of this agreement is to maintain and deepen friendly bilateral relations until the territorial, insular and maritime dispute between the two countries is resolved permanently. | 2019-04-21T15:06:42Z | http://www.ctv3belizenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7425:belize-and-guatemala-signed-prisoner-exchange-program-&catid=38:sports&Itemid=115 |

A sinkhole is a void in the ground caused by a collapse of the Earth’s surface layer. This usually occurs when the ‘stuff’ underground – limestone and gypsum – dissolves or shifts as a result of lots of moving water in one area. Heavy localised rainfall or large areas of concreted ground can change the natural water flow.
In May 2010, a giant sinkhole opened up in Guatemala City in Central America. The deep hole (which formed an almost perfect cylinder 20m wide and 30m deep!) swallowed an entire three-storey building! This sinkhole was caused by water shifting the ground’s underlying layer of weak volcanic rock.
Last year a small sinkhole formed in the backyard of a family home in Illawong, a suburb of Sydney. A man and his baby were sitting on the couch, when the ground suddenly fell away from beneath them. The collapse was accompanied by a big explosion of dirt, which knocked over a tall tree and a washing line!
About one tenth of the Earth’s surface is susceptible to sinkholes, but don’t panic – the likelihood of one opening up near you is very small!
In next month’s issue, we’ll be aiming high and exploring how planes fly!
DID YOU KNOW? The world’s deepest sinkhole was in Chongqing, China, reaching down a whopping 662 metres!
DID YOU KNOW? Sinkholes are so common in Florida, USA, that until 2007 it was compulsory for home owners to have Sinkhole Insurance!
DID YOU KNOW? The local geology of Mt. Gambier in South Australia makes it very prone to sinkholes. Luckily, the fairly constant water table and dry conditions have stopped massive numbers of sinkholes from forming.
DID YOU KNOW? The areas of Australia most susceptible to sinkholes include parts of Canberra, Newcastle and Perth, as well as western New South Wales and the Nullabor region.

I know we all like to wink-wink, nudge-nudge at the idea of a cold one at the end of a busy day in the shop.... sometimes in the middle of the day too.
I hope that none of us ever forgets that drinking and woodworking don't mix any better than drinking and driving do.
....Just a gentle safety reminder as the weather turns warmer.
I'll drink an O'Douls do that.
But ---- only after I'm done with power or sharp hand tools. :) a cold one during cleanup often hits the spot.
It all depends on what you are drinking. When did "drinking" by itself come to mean alcohol? I drink all the time when I'm in the shop or behind the wheel but my drink of choice is water or maybe a diet Pepsi.
I'm pretty sure it happened about the same time that calling a beer a cold one started. Its a common colloquial phrase.
I have made it a rule to never have a beer while working in the shop. I also don't go out in the shop after having a beer.
Only after the power tools have been turned off for the day. And only with a finely rolled tobacco product from the Dominican Republic.
I guess the term "drinking" became common usage for drinking alcohol about the time my kids were small.
There were all sorts of anti "Drinking and Driving" commercials on TV, so one day I have my daughter Margaret with me in the car, I guess she was about 5 years old.
We're stopped in a routine spot check, the officer asks a few questions and Margaret pipes up "My dad is drinking and driving".
Well, it was the truth, I did have a coffee with me:D.
Besides safety glasses my other mandatory safety item is I never will touch a tool if I had a beer or alcohol. I know one beer doesn't affect most people while working but just something I won't do, maybe my low tolerance or all the "alcohol related incident" safety briefings we received in the military. Now at the end of the day, a cold one does help wash down the sawdust.
Good advice Mark, I have a very low tolerance for alcohol, one drink is my limit and I can notice the effects of it on me.
I've known folks that drink beer in the shop and some that shoot guns after a few brews and other dumb things. They have survived for now but... No alcohol for me until I'm done with sharp and pointie things (or things that go bang).
Used to watch the trap shooters get pleasantly plowed while shooting clay pigeons years back, thank goodness that's been frowned on by most clubs now.
Another thought, watch the pharmaceuticals too, any drug for that matter.
Lots of drugs out there that slow the reflexes and thought pattern.
I usually have a beer at the end of the day while cleaning the shop. No power tools involved!
Woodworking? Ha! Girly stuff.One of my machines will move a half-ton of steel at 250 inches per minute rapids. That's 4+" per second. I have welded material and cutters together just from a rapid crash.
A good reminder for all Mitchell.
I don't drink alcohol any way. So no problem.
But i will never mix power tools and alcohol. | 2019-04-20T02:36:17Z | https://sawmillcreek.org/archive/index.php/t-134813.html?s=7b7179643e6a4fad1fc6c6c9a6d26b92 |

The London Egg Bank was opened in 2013 by the team behind the London Women’s Clinic and London Sperm Bank to encourage egg donation in the UK. The London Women’s Clinic, established in 1985, pioneered the concept of egg sharing, a technique which made donor eggs available from women having IVF and reduced the number of women on waiting lists for egg donors.
However, despite our success with egg sharing and the opportunities for egg donation from overseas schemes, demand for donor eggs in the UK still outstrips supply. The London Egg Bank aims to increase the number of women coming forward as egg donors. A greater number of domestic egg donors will reduce the need for UK patients to go overseas for treatment.
Founded in 2010, the London Sperm Bank is the UK’s leading provider of donor sperm, with around 10,000 vials in storage at any given time. This means that the fertility centres within our group – the London Women’s Clinic and Bridge Centre – have a broad range of sperm samples at their disposal to match an equally broad range of patients. The London Women’s Clinics in London, South Wales and the North-East use donor sperm in around 1,000 cycles per year.
A specialist team of health professionals at Wrexham Maelor Hospital offer a 15 bed inpatient ward for patients who require an inpatient stay alongside outpatient clinics covering general gynaecology, hysteroscopy, colposcopy, early pregnancy assessment, urogynaecology, infertility services and gynaecological cancer.
Pharmasure is a privately-owned company with an in-depth, specialist knowledge of the therapeutic area of reproductive medicine.
There is a lot of information regarding diet and fertility and, unfortunately, a lot of it is contradictory. Should you cut down on sugar if you are trying to conceive? Wheat gluten? Alcohol? Caffeine? Do supplements affect fertility? Should you prefer high protein foods or those low in fat? It has been scientifically proven that women close to their healthy body weight have better chances of conceiving and having a normal pregnancy than those who are far above or below their ideal weight.
Rosie Letts will help you create a balanced diet, which provides adequate nutrient and calorie uptake, and guide you with appropriate advice and supervision.
Shropshire and Mid Wales Fertility Centre based in Shrewsbury is an NHS clinic offering a comprehensive range of treatments to both NHS and private patients. Covering the Midlands and Mid and North Wales the clinic has been helping couples conceive since 1991 and boasts some of the highest success rates in the area. In 2018 the clinic moved from its old base at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital to a new, bespoke facility offering patients much more modern, spacious surroundings whilst still maintaining the small, family feel that the centre is so well known for.

We believe that every child has the right to a secure upbringing in a loving family. No child should wait for an adoption placement. There are currently 4,000 children in England & Wales waiting to be adopted.
Surrogacy UK was formed in 2002, by a group of surrogates who believed that a successful journey for both surrogates and intended parents was one based on trust, mutual respect and, above all, friendship.
Since 2002 Surrogacy UK has grown to include nearly 150 active surrogates, 500 intended parents and a huge community of parents through surrogacy who return to celebrate the special way their child came into the world with their Surrogacy UK family.

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and Acupuncture Practitioner and I have over 25 years of clinical experience in helping people towards a place of mental and physical well-being. I specialise in fertility focused acupuncture and work in an integrated way due to the profound effect that the mind/body connection has on the ability to conceive.

As a physiotherapist I use Western Medical Acupuncture to stimulate the body’s own healing process and to restore the body to a state of natural balance. Acupuncture within physiotherapy is applied against a backdrop of clinical & research evidence. It is personalised, clinically and research evidence based and highly effective.
If you have any health or fertility issues, are hoping to maximise your chances of conceiving, either naturally or are undergoing assisted fertility treatments then I’m here to help.

A Tasty Mess: Dunkin What?
Cake doughnuts are my favorite by far and I've made them before, but never in chocolate...it was time.
I found a recipe by Paula Deen (shockingly it is devoid of butter!) and adapted it a little bit, plus I whipped up my own chocolate and sugar glazes. They turned out to be deliciously cake-y, chewy and the chocolate glaze is ah-mazing. Yup, I'll take credit for these - they're yummy!
Ironically I used a nonfat sour cream and skim milk in a doughnut I fried in oil, then coated in a heavy cream-based chocolate glaze...but it was all I had in the fridge! Still, made me smile as I watched these "nonfat" doughnuts cook in full-fat veggie oil on the stovetop.
1. In a large pot or dutch oven, pour the oil to a depth of about 2 inches and heat to 360 degrees.
2. While the oil heats - make the doughnuts. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, milk and eggs.
3. Add the flour mixture slowly to the wet mixture until it is well combined into a soft, sticky dough. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about a half-inch thickness.
4. Use a round cutter to cut out your doughnuts. If you're really lucky (unlike me!), you can use a small cutter to cut out the middle holes instead of cutting each of them with a small paring knife! Once your doughnuts are cut, you can keep gathering up the loose dough and re-rolling it to keep creating more. This recipe said it would make a dozen...it made almost 36! So it always depends on how big you make the doughnuts.
5. Fry the doughnuts in batches, about 1 minute per side (could be less - so watch them carefully!) and lay them out on paper towels to drain off the excess oil. While they cool you can make the chocolate glaze.
6. The glaze is super-easy, just pop the chocolate square and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals (stirring in between) until the chocolate has melted. Whisk it into the cream and add in the sugar and cocoa powder until you get a thick glaze-y texture. Then dip the doughnut tops in the glaze and let them set for about a half hour before putting them in airtight containers. White chocolate would be yummy too! I did a basic powdered sugar/butter/cream/vanilla glaze too, but the powdered sugar didn't completely dissolve for some reason so it looks a little lumpy...but it still tastes great!
Em, you are the pastry queen. So impressive! | 2019-04-19T00:56:05Z | http://www.tastymess.org/2011/03/dunkin-what.html |
Yesterday it was the Rockies of Colorado. Today it’s Mount Watadic. I set out this morning to hike this little mountain in northern Massachusetts. The mountain is located about an hour north of my daughter’s home in Holden, Massachusetts. We arrived there from Colorado Springs last night, and tomorrow we are heading out for North Carolina. So one might think I ought to simply rest today. And I will. And I am. | 2019-04-22T10:55:34Z | http://trentonchurch.ca/pastor-s-blog/tag/joy |

As part of the events of the World Government Summit, the Global Council for the 5th UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030, was held in Dubai.
The meeting was chaired by Mona Ghanem Al Merri, the Vice-President of the UAE Gender Balance Council. During the meet, Al Merri emphasised that the directives issued by the President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan on boosting the role and presence of Emirati women in the Federal National Council (FNC) to 50 per cent has reaped rich dividents.
The directives have also had a positive influence on steering women towards heightened participation of women in parliament and have already propelled them to make vital decisions on a national platform. The UAE Gender Balance Council was launched in 2015 and is being chaired by Shaikha Manal Bint Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, wife of Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.
The objective of the council is to reduce gender disparity and to propel the UAE as a proponent of gender balanced initiatives, in line with the directives of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. | 2019-04-21T14:38:30Z | http://emiratespr.com/sdg-5-global-council-holds-meet/ |
Diabetes has become a global epidemic.diabetes is the new “normal” today. It costs billions of dollars to the exchequer globally. Prevalence of diabetes is higher in urban areas and metros compared to rural areas. Rapid changes in our lifestyle and constant stress is a major contributor in India, the prevalence of diabetes is an alarming 15 % in metros like Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi etc.. and is increasing day by day. The best way to prevent diabetes is to screen periodically and diagnose the condition early so that associated complications can be prevented.
The periodic screen of the general population is vital bcoz majority of diabetics do not have any symptoms at all. Very few patients have classical symptoms of increased thirst, urine, hunger, and loss of weight.some may have symptoms like excess fatigue, tingling numbness of hands and feet, non-healing wounds, recurrent skin and urine infections. Screening becomes even more important in special groups like people with H/O gestational diabetes or a strong family history. Consultation with a Diabetologist or Endocrinologist should be done at the earliest so that appropriate treatment can be started. “Catch early-treat early” is the mantra to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with diabetes. | 2019-04-23T10:42:31Z | http://magnacode.co.in/blog/catch-early-treat-early-by-dr-yousuf-khan/ |

Another great session for our keen gardeners and our focus this week was planning our ‘Spring Garden’. Our two gardeners this week were the formidable Bradley and our new keen gardener Gemma.
The aim of this week’s session was to gain an understanding of plants that emerge from bulbs, what bulbs look like and how to plant them. Bradley started the session by matching up pictures of bulbs with flowers. The reasoning being to encourage students to learn the connection between our spring flowers and their origin. Bradley was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and was very good at matching up the names with the pictures.
Our next course of action was to take our students to our local garden centre to buy our bulbs. As we were walking to the centre, Brad enjoyed taking photos of some of our beautiful local trees.
Brad completed their purchases and we were now joined by the indomitable Gemma our newest member of the gardening club.
A lot of fun was had on the climbing frame and then we set to work to begin a collection of photos for our ‘card making activities’. We are planning to create a series of cards for Birthdays and Christmas. Again our amazing students took a series of beautiful photos and enjoyed looking, touching and photographing the beautiful flowers and plants. | 2019-04-22T04:36:15Z | https://castlefieldcampus-ebsd.co.uk/garden-blog-130916 |

Everybody wants to get healthier, so let's learn how to use fitness assessments to set your health goals. We'll look at an actual list of popular tests and techniques and we'll discuss how to interpret the tests so you can reach your health goals.
Has New Year's Day ever rolled around and you made a resolution that this was the year you were going to be fit and healthy? However, formulating a workout plan was frustrating and by Valentine's Day you were sitting on the couch while watching television and diving into that box of chocolates.
Do not worry. In this lesson we will review several fitness assessments and how to use that newfound knowledge to work toward achieving your elusive but attainable fitness and health goals.
Who was not wowed by the leaping abilities of the women and men on the outdoor volleyball court at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio? And they were leaping out of sand! A good vertical leap is helpful in other popular sports such as basketball as well. First you reach up and touch a point on a wall. After marking that point you leap up and touch as high as you can. Then simply measure the distance between the two points. A leap measuring over two feet is good and over three feet is outstanding. The test is designed to measure leg muscle power. This muscle power differs from leg muscle strength in that it involves quicker bursts of strength over a shorter period of time. By comparing results of the test with a previous test the athlete may determine if his leg strength is improving.
Were you amazed by those soccer players in the Summer Olympics weaving through defenders while running with the ball? The Illinois Agility Test helps to test similar abilities. The test features eight orange cones placed among a course measuring five meters by ten meters. A second person times with a stopwatch as you weave in an out of the cones in a predetermined pattern. A time of around 15-17 seconds is good. Ultimately this is a test of your physical agility, which is defined as the ability to be both graceful and quick. A diagram for setting up the test correctly can easily be found on the internet.
Was your heart beating fast watching Usain Bolt run for gold for a third time at the 2016 Olympics? This test measures not only running speed and endurance but also acceleration. You are timed by a second person with a stopwatch as you run various distances of 10-50 yards. Longer distances can be timed as well although 100 yards is usually the limit for the test. You may have heard about NFL wide receivers running the 40-yard dash in a blistering 4.2 seconds, but the truth is the average person cannot break five seconds. About 5.5 seconds is a standard baseline score.
These two tests are old favorites and can be done in the comfort of your own home. There is a chart which shows an average score for people of different age groups. There are also different ratings varying from very poor to excellent. These exams test muscular endurance, which is the ability to do repeated contractions over a length of time.
This will test your flexibility, especially the back of the legs (hamstrings) and the lower back. You sit on the floor with your legs extended and slowly bend forward. Then a yardstick is used to measure how far you can reach.
Skinfold calipers are used to 'pinch' fat around three to nine sections of the body including the waist, hips, arms, thighs, forearms, neck, chest, and calves. The doctor or personal trainer then uses an equation to come up with a surprisingly accurate body fat percentage.
First, the FMS is not a test that you should try to self-diagnose, but should be done under the watchful eye of a certified personal trainer.
Second, the FMS should be done after a light warmup but before engaging in any really hard physical exercise. Otherwise, the results may be skewed and there could be an increase of the risk of injury.
The FMS is such a beneficial exam and specializes in identifying left and right muscular imbalances and weaknesses. This is crucial because these can lead to not only inefficient body movements but also serious injuries. In fact, some coaches and personal trainers today now believe that muscle imbalances are so important that they recommend training an equal amount with both the left and the right hand. While this sounds good on paper some athletes have a hard time making this commitment. For example, if a pro golfer already hits 500 balls per day right-handed he may be reluctant to commit to hitting 500 balls per day left-handed as well.
It is not enough to have your initial fitness assessment done. You must also be retested periodically at roughly one-month intervals. A reassessment means to evaluate once more or to appraise again. The entire point of working out is to improve and your doctor or personal trainer will know how to read the results and make recommendations along the way.
In this lesson we reviewed various fitness assessments that are used to set health goals. We explained what exactly these tests are trying to measure and we recapped some of the most popular tests. We elaborated on the seven-point Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and how it can help identify weaknesses and prevent injuries. We talked about safety as it relates to testing. Finally, we expounded on the importance of periodic reassessments.

Yes, I am doing more or less the same.
It is just that I have a lot of objects and I was trying to find an optimal way of getting those that are of interest by minimizing the "for loop".
Yes, that seems like the right way!
I just use the command simSetObjectSpecialProperty(objectHandle,0) and it works. Whatever property I set before now is unset. However I am not sure if it is a right way to do stuff.
It seems the problem is solved or it never existed. It was just a matter of understanding the physics. | 2019-04-20T07:19:00Z | http://forum.coppeliarobotics.com/search.php?author_id=4295&sr=posts& |
Do I Have to Look at Dying Bulbs Forever?
My numerous daffodils, tulips, etc. are long past their glory days and are lying splayed on the ground in a shade somewhere between healthy green and withering khaki. Gardening wisdom advises us to leave the foliage standing until it has turned yellow. That’s a lot to ask, especially when your bulbs were planted front and center.
Yes, yes, I know, you’re supposed to plant them where they will be hidden under other plants that emerge as the bulbs are fading out . I don’t know about you, but I still notice those fading leaves, even when they are tucked under a newly blossoming plant. And how much sunlight are they actually getting when they are hiding under other plants? What good is that advise anyway, when you’ve also been advised to plant in large swaths?
And despite a certain gardening diva’s recommendation, we have been forbidden from braiding, folding, or otherwise subtly tucking those leaves out of site. As long as they are photosynthesizing, they need every spare inch of leaf exposed to sunlight. Or do they?
Let’s be realistic; most of us don’t bother cutting back the flower stalks as recommended, yet the plants survive. Why can’t we push the envelope on cutting back the leaves?
While it might be ideal – for the plant – to allow the leaves to expire and dissolve on their own, they’ve pretty much done their job within 6 – 8 weeks. I lean toward 8 weeks. Since my daffodils generally bloom in April, by mid-June I don’t feel any guilt or regrets about cutting them down.
If your bulbs were planted in an out of the way spot or if you truly have enough plants to distract the eye, you can save yourself the effort. Lucky you. If not, grab you’re your pruners. Trust me, they’ll be fine. I’ve been doing it for a decade now and they show no signs of slowing down. | 2019-04-23T20:50:55Z | http://www.gardeningthehudsonvalley.com/do-i-have-to-look-at-dying-bulbs-forever/ |

As children age, grow and mature, they obtain greater control over fine motor skills which are necessary to create proper speech sounds. As these skills are developed, children learn to articulate certain sounds and words. If a child cannot properly formulate and speak a particular sound or word by the expected milestone or age, intervention is usually suggested.
Articulation problems can result from the way a child utilizes his or her lips, tongue, jaws, etc. when speaking. Physical abnormalities can also cause articulation errors. Adults can also suffer from articulation disorders, originating from either untreated or undiagnosed childhood disorders or from another condition, such as an accident, stroke, trauma to the mouth, etc. | 2019-04-18T18:35:35Z | http://www.columbusspeechandhearingcenter.com/speech/articulation |
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — We’ve officially reached that time in the season when the players are ready for a vacation and can’t wait for the All-Star break. So how do they deal with that ennui? For some veterans, it seems like this is when they start picking on the rookies, from Philadelphia all the way to Los Angeles.
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — These days it’s nearly as important to have a cool nickname as it is to actually have great production on the court. Kobe is the Mamba, LeBron is the King, and in Golden State we have the Splash Brothers. And with Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine teaming up this season in Minnesota, it was clear they were going to need a nickname as well, since they’re all about the highlight plays. But before waiting for someone to give them a nickname they may or may not have liked, they decided to take things into their own hands and give themselves a moniker they could roll with: The Bounce Brothers.
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — A few months ago, a photo circulated of Utah Jazz forward (and former Slam Dunk Contest champ) Jeremy Evans showing off his incredible vertical leap in an effort to top the vertical leap recorded by number one draft pick Andrew Wiggins.
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — It’s been a big week for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who officially completed the Kevin Love trade and have effectively re-made their roster, adding a few new players. To celebrate the new additions, the Wolves had Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Thaddeus Young and Zach LaVine in Minnesota to meet the fans at a big rally downtown.
And then? The guys went to the Minnesota State Fair, because why not? The State Fair apparently has a lot of fun stuff to do, particularly if you’re a member of the T-Wolves.

Today sees the launch of the much anticipated 2018 EIFF programme.
Inaugurated in 1947, EIFF is the world’s oldest continually-running film festival. It has always had a pioneering outlook to its programming and is a champion of emerging British talent.
Legends such as Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Martin Scorsese, Danny Boyle, Gene Kelly, Tilda Swinton, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Clint Eastwood and Sir Sean Connery have all featured prominently in the festival over the years.
As online and mobile have become an increasingly integral focus for audience research and engagement it was essential that EIFF provided its audiences with an online experience befitting of such an iconic festival.
Teviot was delighted to win the opportunity to completely transform the EIFF website for the 2017 festival. We drew up on the innovative attitude of EIFF to create a vibrant, user-friendly site that focuses heavily on mobile experience and integrates seamlessly with the incumbent ticketing system, events programme and CRM.
The new website saw a big improvement in all key statistical categories since last year’s launch, which crucially also led to a marked rise in online and combined revenue generation.
Our partnership is still going strong this year and we’ve been working hard with the EIFF team to build on last year’s success and to refresh the site with all the latest content. The EIFF website is now bursting with useful features and functionality and all the exciting events for the 2018 festival!
In the lead up to this year’s festival, we’ve already seen a 74% increase in page views, 48% decrease in bounce rate and 58% increase in session duration. Due to the vastly improved user experience and content, people are spending much longer exploring and this is in turn leading to more ticket sales. We’re confident 2018 will see an even greater rise in online activity and revenue generation.
Alongside the 2018 programme launch, member ticket sales also launch at midday today, with tickets going on sale to the general public at 10am on Friday 25th May.
Make sure to visit www.edfilmfest.org.uk to book your tickets before they’re gone! | 2019-04-25T02:20:15Z | https://www.teviotcreative.com/digital/edinburgh-international-film-festival-inspiring-audiences-online |

The stone of good luck and protection, matte tiger's eye promotes clear thinking and calms the mind. Offering strength, restoring balance and allowing you to make decisions with clarity, these semi-precious 10-millimeter matte beads are detailed with a hematite crystal and brass logo charm.
Details: Elastic fit bracelets are available in three sizes. Each comes with an Eye of the Sea linen pouch and a gemstone meaning card. Beads and signature charms are from Greece. Colors and sizes of the beads may vary slightly, making each bracelet unique.
Care: Beaded bracelets are handmade from high quality semi-precious beads and metal components from Greece. Some metal components are highly sensitive to chemical elements, and can tarnish or lessen in luster over time. You should avoid extreme temperatures, body oils, perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics. We do not recommend sleeping, showering, swimming in chlorine or salt water, or exercising in this jewelry. If your bracelet gets wet, please dry it off. Exposure to the elements can cause the elastic cord that holds the bracelet together to weaken, and may contribute to it stretching or breaking in the future. To ensure the best care, roll the bracelet on or off your wrist, instead of pulling or stretching the elastic cord and beads. Repetitive pulling over time can cause the elastic to stretch and weaken.

A turn-based tactics game where 3 races wage war over the sacred Star Relic. 3 campaigns, 3 different races, 16 unique units, different skills, and a unique, never seen before tactical mechanic.
Star Relic is a turn-based tactics game where players have to defeat their opponents using different units and skills. The game is played like any other turn-based game - players create units, move them around the board, attack enemy units and so on. In Star Relic, it's pretty similar - players warp-in their fleets through special units called Warp Gates and the goal is to destroy the enemy's Gate. But that's not all. The board rotates with every turn clockwise. Since it is made by different layers ('orbits'), the board changes dynamically throughout the game, forcing the players to adapt and analyze how the board will look like in future turns. The game has 2 modes: Story Mode - 3 different campaigns (one for each of the game's races), with 9 missions each, 30 different skills and a developing story. Single Battle - Play against a friend in hotseat or against the CPU. Fur further instruction check out the in-game tutorial.
Star Relic has been played 3.492 times since it was added on June 8, 2010.

In the month of November when Catholics remember and pray for their deceased family, friends and neighbours, our Bishops have launched a new website that offers help and support to those grappling with issues around the meaning of dying and death. It features real-life stories about dealing with the journey through death to eternal life. It is called, The Art of Dying Well (from the ancient Latin name Ars Moriendi) and is drawn from Catholicism’s rich treasury of resources and reflections as well as consulting with experts and professionals in palliative care, ethics, chaplaincy, history and the media.
It is found at www.artofdyingwell.org. It will be of particular interest to those who are dying (that’s of all of us!) to family, friends and carers. At the back of each church there are cards with the address of the site and a prayer for the dying.
Last week I dealt with the Bishop’s response to the recent consultation on deacons. Today I quote his decision on Confirmation.
“Having considered all the opinions and arguments, I would like to see the Sacrament of Confirmation celebrated with candidates aged 13 (Year 8) or above, which is within the age range agreed by the Bishops’ Conference. Normally, I would hope to celebrate the Sacrament myself. The precise logistics still need to be worked out but I would prefer to confirm from Easter to the summer school holidays and, if necessary, into the following school term. We might also consider holding some celebrations at the Cathedral or some of the larger churches of the Diocese (such as St. Alban’s, Blackburn) to give the candidates a sense of being part of the larger Church.
the call to serve those in need.
At Forum on Wednesday we shall consider these and other decisions made by the Bishop following the consultation. | 2019-04-20T18:37:56Z | http://www.olotv.org.uk/33rd-sunday-in-ordinary-time-november-13th-2016 |

A middle-aged woman diagnosed with lung cancer fulfilled her final wish in donating her body to medical science at Tzu Chu University in Hualien in east Taiwan. Liu Li Rue-ing wanted to help students improve their medical skills: they will remember her for ever as their ‘silent mentor’.
Mrs Liu had a very hard life. She was born into a poor family in Hsinchu county, the youngest of seven children. Unable to raise her, her parents sold her to another family. It treated her very badly, physically abusing her and leaving her with bruises from head to toe. Her birth parents paid to buy her freedom; she moved to Taipei, where she worked as a maid in hospitals, restaurants and factories. She learnt to read and write on her own. In her twenties, she got married and, within the first seven years, gave birth to a girl and two sons. She was well treated by her parents-in law. Keen to make up for a lack of education, she studied hard at a community college.
Then one day, when she was accompanying her husband for a medical examination, she discovered by accident that she had lung cancer and that the disease had spread to other parts of her body. Initially, the doctors said that she had only one more year to live. She started chemotherapy in Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center and Hsinchu General Hospital, Department of Health. This gave her four meaningful years, for which she was very grateful to the medical teams. During her final years, she was weak but thanked the doctors and nurses for their care: she apologized to them for the fact that her health kept deteriorating despite their efforts to save her. She was truly a brave fighter who showed appreciation to others and remained at peace in her mind.
During her final moments, Mrs. Liu stopped breathing for a while, then resumed after ten minutes. She waited until a medical report showed that she qualified to be a body donor. After she passed away, an ambulance took her body to Tzu Chi University. Her strong will and determination has made her a great teacher for us. Her body will help us improve our medical skills and her spirit will help to guide us, both doctors and patients, and persevere in times of hardship.
Written by Dr. Chou Yu-Cheng, neurosurgeon at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, who visited and interviewed the family of Mrs Liu Li Rue-ing.

Hurricane season has one month left. Here’s what history says to expect.
Hurricane Kate came ashore a week before Thanksgiving in 1985. While it made landfall on Florida's Panhandle, its effects were also felt along Fort Lauderdale Beach.
We’re officially one month away from the end of hurricane season, but if history is an indication, it’s not time to let our guard down.
In eight of the past 10 years, a tropical storm or hurricane has formed in the Atlantic basin in November, said Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman for the Miami-based hurricane center.
The latest a storm has made landfall on the continental United States with hurricane-force winds was Hurricane Kate on Nov. 21, 1985. That Category-2 storm struck the Florida Panhandle — near Mexico Beach, of all places — a week before Thanksgiving.
Hurricane Michael intensified fast before it hit near Mexico Beach, Florida, last week. But Hurricanes Irma, Matthew, Harvey, Sandy, Wilma and others also had big jumps in wind speed.
Conditions won’t favor any more worrisome tropical activity off the coast of Africa at this time of year, but Feltgen said forecasters will monitor the Gulf Coast and the northwest part of the Caribbean Sea for development.
We’re already experiencing an above-average hurricane season. The typical year brings 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes to the Atlantic. For 2018, Hurricane Oscar is our 15th named storm and our eighth hurricane, and we’ve had two major hurricanes (Florence and Michael).
As National Hurricane Center meteorologists prepare for their end-of-season report next month, Hurricane Michael’s formation into a destructive force out of the Gulf of Mexico will be one topic drawing continued discussion.
“The rapid intensification was a little surprising,” Feltgen said of the storm that reached Category-4 status before crashing through the panhandle. | 2019-04-19T13:31:28Z | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/fl-ne-hurricane-season-november-history-20181030-story.html |
Tensions were at an all time high during Trump’s presidential election. Some have said many of his rally’s promoted intolerance and incited violence. An incident between Rakeem Jones and John McGraw resulted in McGraw receiving one year of probation.
In today’s video, Jones talks about concluding the incident in court and having a heartfelt moment with McGraw. Even though tensions are high during any conflict, it is important to thing beyond your initial impulses. | 2019-04-23T12:48:10Z | https://consciousliberty.com/2019/01/29/daily-inspiration-conflict-resolution-goes-beyond-impulse/ |

I had my bridal portraits taken at Pecan Springs Ranch event venue outside of Austin, shot by Amy of Al Gawlik Photography. I say the words "incredibly talented" about a lot of people, but goodness gracious, not many people are as good at what they do as Amy. I was so lucky to have her, and we couldn't have asked for better weather or better sunlight that April afternoon.
I wish I could show y'all what my dress looked like before alterations. I wanted something with straps and a unique back, and this dress fit both of those bills, but there was a a big problem in the form of a giant peplum skirt coming off the waist. The style never made it to mass production (no wonder - all that extra material for the peplum was not flattering) so the store had it on major markdown. I took a chance on it with the promise that the peplum skirt part could be removed, and I'm so glad I did. We added more buttons to go further down the back (buttons on wedding dresses just make my heart happy) and a sparkly belt, and to me, it was the perfect dress for our big day.
Sun flare. I love it. And can we talk about that settee?! I wanted to take it home with me.
Thank you, Al Gawlik and Pecan Springs Ranch!
Finishing up the second half of our wedding post today. Our ceremony was a little different than most. Andrew's close friend and mentor, Shane, got ordained on the internet to officiate our ceremony. Yes, we were those people. But we wouldn't have had it any other way. Andrew credits Shane with helping him become the person he is today, influencing his work, his values, his priorities and his faith. Knowing Andrew to be the man he is and knowing Shane had a large part in that - what an honor to have him play a part in beginning this new chapter of our lives.
Our pre-ceremony music made my 90s-country-loving heart so happy. Hal Ketchum and Restless Heart played as the guests took their seats.
of my favorite hymn of all time, Come Thou Fount.
This is one of my favorite images from the whole day and one word comes to mind: trust. The man who raised me, giving me away to the man about to say his vows to me. I wanted to freeze that bittersweet moment for just a little longer!
Sweet Emma girl. Such a beauty, and she doesn't even know it yet.
As soon as my dad sat down and I stood across from Andrew and took his hands, he slipped a tiny piece of paper to me and opened his palm so I could read it. It simply said "home team." Those words have been a theme in our relationship since we got engaged. Knowing that we would soon be moving to a new city and encountering a lot of new challenges, we promised that we would face it all, all of the unknowns, as a team. With a million different things vying for our attention every day, we know that our priority is at home, in each other.
We asked Shane to speak a little on the meaning of the covenant. How it differs in nature and purpose from a contract or a promise, and how our relationship in marriage is meant to mirror Jesus's relationship with the church. He also talked about choosing joy despite whatever circumstances may come our way.
Instead of lighting a unity candle, we joined jars of dirt. It doesn't sound pretty, or really even look pretty, but the dirt is from the land where we were each raised. His, dark soil from east Texas, and mine, rocky clay from the hill country. By joining those two together, we created our "common ground." We added sand from the Caribbean when we returned from our honeymoon, and we'll add to the jar with each place we live, wherever that may be.
My brother did what he does so well and played a medley of two other favorite hymns, In Christ Alone and Be Thou My Vision, before we said a final prayer.
The boys were ready to get the party started. Three cheers for Shiner Ruby Redbird!
First dance with my love. We danced to "I Just Wanna Be Yours" by Full Throttle.
There was a whole lot of dancing. A whole lot. And we loved every minute of it.
Looking back on our day, I honestly don't know how it could've been any more perfect. Our parents, our best friends, and our families all together in one place made it the best day of our lives. | 2019-04-18T18:47:42Z | https://www.thebigandbright.com/blog?offset=1498181068094&category=Wedding |

Intel Corp., one of the world's largest electronic-chip makers, pays its employees to play games—war games, that is. The company regularly conducts tabletop exercises in which supply chain managers respond to theoretical scenarios such as the loss of logistics staff in Asia to a fast-moving disease like bird flu, or a key distribution center's being knocked out by a flood. As is true in military exercises, the scenarios continuously change to reflect decisions made by participants.
For Intel, business continuity is a critical concern, said Genevieve Sutton, business continuity program manager in the company's Customer Fulfillment, Planning, and Logistics Group. Sutton was addressing an educational seminar at the CSCMP conference. The top priorities in an emergency are to protect employees, protect assets, and minimize impact on customers, in that order, she explained. For that reason, Sutton's group conducts annual risk assessments of 12 business areas that include reviews of changes to core functions, systems, and processes; existing risks; and existing and emerging internal and external threats.
In addition to identifying potential risks and developing plans to address them, Sutton's organization conducts both scheduled and surprise drills. The purpose, she said, is to validate that the plans in place are adequate; verify that they are practical, functional, and complete; and identify gaps and omissions. The drills involve Intel's facilities and suppliers worldwide. In fact, the company's contracts include language that requires suppliers (including providers of logistics services) to participate in disaster planning exercises—and to revise their operations based on the results of the drills. | 2019-04-26T01:53:31Z | https://www.dcvelocity.com/conference_reports/cscmp2007/cscmp2007playing_games_at_intel/ |
When you have a website, it is important that you regularly update the content; be that different stock if it is a shop, or blog posts/articles if you are a general website. These send signals to Google and other search engines that your website is functioning and active, which is good from an SEO point of view. It is no good just posting any old rubbish though, put some thought into your posts and you will reap the benefits!
Content should always look nice. Make sure that your font is clear and easy to read. If readers struggle with your text, they are likely to leave the site and not bother again. Make sure that the contrast between the text and the background isn’t too bright – very light text on a very dark background can be very challenging on the eyes!
Break up your words into paragraphs, or use bullet points to separate out chunks of text. It is harder to read on a screen, so breaking up the text will help the reader to keep their place and read comfortably. If you can, add in some images to break up the space on the page too.
Link internally to other pages on your site which are relevant – this is good for customer retention, as when a customer is reading a piece about a particular service, if you link to a similar service, they are more likely to look into that and possibly buy it!

The report on the causes of the July 10, 2017 crash, released Wednesday, slams "consistent production errors" at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in Warner Robins, Georgia, saying evidence from the crashed plane shows employees missed growing corrosion on the key propeller blade during a 2011 overhaul. The report finds workers at the base did a poor job of following the Navy's specific procedure for its propellers, in part because the vast majority of blades overhauled at the base followed different procedures. The report indicates the Air Force has now agreed to adopt the Navy's more demanding overhaul procedures for all propellers.
Military officials have known of the problems since at least September 2017 and some family members had previously indicated they knew what had happened, although they declined to discuss details. In July, just before the anniversary of the crash, Anna Johnson, the widow of crew member Gunnery Sgt. Brendan Johnson told The Associated Press that "planes don't just fall out of the sky.
"It was a grave mistake, it was an accident that was most likely preventable," Johnson said then. "I don't want their deaths to be in vain. I want something good to come of it."
"When we first heard that work done here in 2011 may have contributed to the mishap, leadership and the (propeller) shop were devastated," Kubinec said. "The first thing we did was take action to ensure that processes were in place that this wouldn't happen again. That's what our commitment has been since we first heard about it."
The report says a corrosion pit eventually developed into a crack, breaking off from the propeller closest to the fuselage on the left-hand side of the plane. A number of other propeller blades on the four-engine aircraft were also found to have corrosion. The report said investigators found a protective coating had been painted over corrosion on some blades from the plane, proving that Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex workers "failed to detect, remove and repair corrosion infected blades they purported to have overhauled."
The report said inspectors visiting the base were dismayed to find workers relying on memory for how they should conduct propeller maintenance, even though they had laptops with the correct procedures at their work stations. They also said technicians did a poor job of tracking paperwork that said who a propeller belonged to, which determined whether they were supposed to use methods for the Air Force, the Navy or P-3 surveillance planes. Plus, quality inspections did not cover "the steps regarding identification and removal of corrosion."
The Air Force doesn't know which technicians inspected the blade in 2011, though, because its previous policy was to dispose of maintenance paperwork after two years. Although the Navy had the power to audit work done by the Air Force in Georgia, the report says there's no evidence any audit ever occurred since the Navy handed off the work to the Air Force in 2009.
The report also concludes that the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, didn't do enough to inspect propeller blades or track maintenance records. The squadron was supposed to perform an electrical current inspection on blades any time a plane didn't fly for more than eight weeks, but did not. However, investigators said that even if maintenance workers had conducted inspections they missed, they might not have found the problem.
"It cannot be concluded with any reasonable degree of certainty that the radial crack would or would not have been detected," investigators wrote.
The blade sliced through the fuselage where passengers were sitting, lodging into the interior of the right hand side of the skin. The impact affected the drive shaft of a propeller on the right side, causing that propeller to break loose, causing it to hit the fuselage and then knock part of the stabilizer off the plane. The plane, then basically uncontrollable, broke into pieces, and the area containing passengers "explosively disintegrated."
The report says all aboard suffered "shock, disorientation, inadvertent physical responses, rapid onset of below freezing conditions and near impossible crew communication." All the men died from blunt force trauma and contusions, investigators found.
Despite speculation at the time, the report found ""no evidence of inflight fire damage or ammunition discharge."
The Navy grounded its fleet of C-130Ts until propellers are replaced, with Congress appropriating $121 million to accelerate the work. However, the aging KC-130T models like the one that crashed are being phased out. C-130s have historically been one of the military's safest aircraft. | 2019-04-26T11:43:13Z | https://knss.radio.com/articles/ap-news/report-propeller-blade-broke-causing-military-plane-crash |

How can you use journaling to heal difficult relationships?
Can this tool even be used successfully?
It can be used to address unforgiveness especially in past relationships where there have been things left unsaid, grievances which have just been left unresolved. Writing unsent letters are perfect for getting all that needs to be said in a safe way. No one interrupts your train of thought and you can write exactly what you feel.
This is helpful when the other person is not in your life due to distance or no longer alive.
But what about difficult relationships with people you either live with or have daily contact. Can unsent letters help heal the misunderstandings, the miscommunications, the pain and hurt that these create?
Of course, the technique works in the same way. You get to say what you want without interruptions and you finally get to explain what it is you want them to understand.
But, what if what you want is not just getting your point across? What if what you want is validation for who you are, what you are about and a deeper understanding.
Communication is a vital part of us being human. Even without words we find ways to communicate our needs, through body language, facial expressions etc. Animals communicate with each other, through their unique body language and calls. As I am writing this now I can hear a crow, with its unique croaky call. It isn’t just random, it means something to other crows may be even to other birds and animals.
Without communication there would be chaos, imagine if there were no road signs or traffic lights, or train timetables. These are all forms of communication. We need to have a basic understanding of what is being conveyed so that we can move along in life.
Why is human communication so difficult? Oh we can talk, we can sign, we can write and gesture and especially in our 21st century life, we can text, video chat, etc. but why is there so much miscommunication and misunderstanding?
Can you imagine what will happen if two dogs miss the signals from each other? There seems to be a protocol, when two dogs meet. They sniff each other and allow this so that they can read information about each other. If this process is allowed then depending what is presented there is a flow of energy information which the dogs respect. One dog may be more assertive the other submissive and their posture will show this. Fights usually happen for reasons involving fear, hunger, protection or territorial. But signals are given off clearly to warn the other first of all.
Do we give these signals too? Yes of course. We use our body language in the same way. Is this what is being picked up first and affecting the other’s response? Is there more to do with the energy of the other that affects our responses too?
There is also the case of perception. We see things as we are or as we have experienced the world. It is interesting to realise that we are all living in our own little realities and our brain has to decipher what is being sent to it through our senses. It is no easy feat as there are so many other distractions, of noise pollution, past experiences stored as memories, fixed habits that have been hard wired in our brains and also the question of genetics.
It is amazing that we actually understand anything that is being said to us at all. It is like we are these little universes maneuvering within a vast cosmos with our own agendas, understandings and protocols. We learn the general ones from young but what is right for me may not be right for you.
Yet, like animals we have a genetic blueprint where we are basically programmed to seek out other people for our protection and love. Humans are born dependent where our needs must be met by our caregivers. If our little signals are missed by them then we suffer. We cry for a reason as babies, we are either hungry, thirsty, hot or cold or need a hug. What if our crying is seen as a nuisance? what if our mother is suffering depression, or our father is tired and mostly at work so doesn’t know the different types of crying. What if we are not cared for because we are orphans, abused or unwanted?
Whereas an animal is born with a genetic blueprint to get up and run soon after birth. To stay close to its parent and learn from its parent’s actions. Humans learn through nurture, care and love. The communication a baby receives in the form of care, nourishment and love is how they are set for life.
Words are important but they are not what sets us for good or bad communication. Words let others know what we need as we grow. Our adults can give us what we need or withhold it. Our adults can show interest in what we are saying or ignore us. Our adults can praise us or criticise us. These are are stored in our brains, in our cells, in our soul.
We can communicate in the world, but what we understand is what is inside us. We are a product of what we have experienced, what we feel and what we think we are meant to be.
Even counsellors who learn active listening and practice this with their clients are still coming from their own understanding and experiences. But have learned skills which may not come naturally, like non-judgment, empathy, open – mindedness. They still have to reflect on their understanding and have supervision to clear any misunderstandings or discomfort they feel.
So, back to the question, can we use journaling to heal miscommunications with difficult relationships?
Yes, by addressing your inner child. You need to heal the child that is confused, feels unloved and misunderstood. You can write a letter to your little 4 year old self, or even younger and you can give him/her the love, understanding you feel you never received. You can be your own adult now. You can give that child the time,the validation and love you feel you never received.
After the writing, reflect on what you have written. Can you see why you may react in a particular way when you are not listened to, or understood? Write down what comes up. if nothing comes don’t worry. You may need to do this a couple of times over a period of time.
You can leave that for a day or two and then write one to your caregivers.
Write to their 4 year old self. They are coming from a place of miscommunication too. You can be their adult, give them the understanding and love that they may not have had. You can thank them for their traits that you deem as positive and passed on to you. You can even forgive them for not knowing any different.Again write a reflection on your writing and see what comes up.
But this is not addressing the miscommunication with the difficult person in question who may not be the caregivers.
No, it doesn’t seem so does it?
Leave it for a day or two and write an unsent letter to the person you are having miscommunications with. How do you feel about them now? Reflect in your writing about any little bits of awareness.
If you like to know anymore about writing to heal, please get in touch. I can help you through the process of writing to heal whether it is relationships, depression or dealing with an illness. | 2019-04-19T08:26:37Z | https://writetherapies.com/2018/07/02/writing-to-heal-difficult-relationships/ |
English is the international language, no doubt about it.
I am Chinese-ed and I love my mother tongue very much. But I have to learn and polish my English skill to survive in this globalization era. Especially working in an MNC that I have to communicate in English verbally and in written like email. I do spend time to review and revise my emails before I send them out making sure I maintain my "English quality" (grammar and spelling) and "professionalism" (no personal emotion etc) as the recipients at the other end of the globe (whom I've never met face to face) would judge me based on the email.
Like our ex-PM said, "world class infrastructure, third class maintenance". Sometimes Malaysians tend to have "tidak apa" (never mind) attitude. As long as the job gets done, who cares? This is why you can see slip outs around your surrounding quite often, like what I posted on "MalEnglish" 2 years ago. Probably the person in charge was "tidak apa" as long as the notice was out in time.
So start sending your entries to English S.O.S website. You just have to be a little observant to spot such "MalEnglish". Like I said, it's not that difficult since we have third class mentality here, you can easily spot such even in high class places and tourist attractions like I did in Pavilion KL.
Let's make our society to speak not only good Bahasa Malaysia and mother tongue, but also better English. Let's show to the world we're the cultured and educated nation.

The urban presence and activities of Naxalites of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) [CPI (Maoist], or Maoists, in short, is fast picking pace. On May 13, police arrested 10 Maoists in Pune, though they actually belonged to West Bengal. Nine of them were working as casual labourers while their leader was using the cover of a labour contractor. Four pistols and Naxalite literature running into 300 pages were recovered from their possession.
Earlier on April 25, 2011, police in Thane, Maharashtra arrested Angelo Sontakke alias Sunita Patil, a former teacher, presently secretary of the ‘Golden Corridor Committee’ of the Maoists and the wife of Milind Teltumbde, secretary of the Maharashtra State Committee of the CPI (Maoist). A sum of Rs 1.54 lakh was seized from her possession. Two days later, on April 27, her associate Sushma Ramteke alias Shraddha Gurav, was arrested from Pune. She was working under the cover of being a marketing executive. A few days thereafter police arrested three more women Maoists –– Anuradha Sonule, Mayuri Bhagat and Jyoti Chorghe. In all, during April-May a total of 16 Naxalites were arrested from various urban and semi-urban centres in Maharashtra.
The setting-up of a Golden Corridor Committee is a recent development. According to the chief of the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad, it was formed in February 2008. In the Maoist scheme of things, there are eight strategic areas, one of which lies along the western coast. Within this exists the area known as the ‘Golden Corridor’ that extends from the region around Pune and stretches till Ahmedabad and includes Mumbai, Nashik, Surat and Vadodara. Incidentally, this is also the industrial backbone of the country. It is towards this belt that the Maoists have currently turned their attention. The area could, indeed, turn out to be a ‘milch cow’ for the Maoists.
On May 8, 2007 Arun Farreira, an alleged Maoist communications and propaganda strategist, and another cadre, Murali, were arrested from Nashik.
On August 19, 2007, Sridhar Krishnan Srinivasan alias Vishnu, a Polit Bureau member and the then Maharashtra State Committee secretary, and Vernon Gonsalves alias Vikram, member of the Maharashtra State Committee, were arrested from Mumbai.
On September 20, 2009, Kobad Ghandy alias Rajan, Polit Bureau member who operated in the Golden Corridor area and is believed to have developed the draft blue print for the Maoists’ urban work, was arrested in Delhi.
On January 19, 2010, Suryadevara Prabhakar, who had earlier worked in Gadchiroli and Surat, and was propagating Maoist ideology in Mumbai, was arrested in Mumbai.
On June 17, 2010, Abdul Shakeel Pasha alias Rahul alias Adil, a former area Commander of Surat, was arrested in Delhi.
Commenting on the arrest of Naxalites in Pune, Thane, and other places in the past few weeks, a former Director General of Police of Maharashtra, Arvind Inamdar, said on May 16, 2011, “Certainly, it's a matter of serious concern. Prima facie, the Naxalites seem to have succeeded in ensuring the support of tribals and intellectuals in urban areas. As a result of that, their movement is getting support in big cities.” In fact, several years ago, in 1977, he had reportedly arrested the founder of the current day Maoist movement, Kondapalli Seetharamaiah, in Nagpur.
According to the Maharashtra police the objective of establishing the Golden Corridor Committee was to “seek safe haven[s] for [N]axalites wanted in their home states, [secure] medical assistance for them, raising … funds, procurement of equipment and arms and recruitment of youngsters from the working class, who are employed in small industrial units.” Further, as one officer of the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Maharashtra reportedly noted: “Naxalites seek shelter in industrial pockets as it is very difficult to identify and nab them as they hide amongst the labourers. Also most of them have some or the other contact with the workers in these areas so it easy to get a job and settle here” at a time when the police are hot on their heels in their respective areas of operation in various affected states.
Besides towns and cities in the Golden Corridor, the other urban centres that the Maoists have identified for penetration reportedly include Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore-Erode industrial belt, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ranchi (including the Kolkata-Ranchi industrial belt), and other/old industrial towns such as Kanpur.
In fact, in 2007, the Maoists had constituted a committee known as the Urban Sub Committee (USCO) tasked with preparing an ‘Urban Perspective Plan’, which is sort of a blue-print for carrying forward the urban activities of the CPI (Maoist). According to a senior intelligence official, that Committee consisted of very top Maoist leaders of the apex Central Committee and included Kanchan, Ambar, Ranjan, Vijay and Parimal. Of them, the last is believed to be the Polit Bureau in-charge of USCO.
Broadly, in the Maoist scheme of things, the objectives/tasks of the Urban Movement could be classified under three broad categories: (a) mobilise and organise the basic masses and build the party on that basis; (b) build the United Front; and (c) military tasks. Within this framework, the scope of activities of the urban movement of the Maoists would include: building and strengthening the working class movement, creating a militant and political working class, founding broad-based mass movements on political issues to build and strengthen the United Front work, and working towards building strong mass organisations which would be expressly and consciously directed towards the goal of strengthening armed struggle and the Strategic United Front.
Thus, it is imperative that the police in the various cities, towns and semi-urban centres maintain a strict vigil on groups and individuals who could be potential sympathisers and recruits, before the urban movement catches on.
All the more, it is essential to maintain such a vigil in the Golden Corridor area because it is the industrial backbone of the country and could provide leaders as well as a large number of recruits and sympathisers, besides huge amounts of finances, for the CPI (Maoist). | 2019-04-23T23:15:03Z | https://idsa.in/idsacomments/GoldenCorridorTurningintoMaoistHub_PVRamana_200511 |
