After two years in exile behind Valley River Center, Kiefer Mazda is moving back to auto row on Goodpasture Island Road.
The dealership has bought the property at 383 Goodpasture Island Road, which most recently was occupied by Lithia Saturn, and plans to open for business there on Monday, owner John Kiefer said Friday. Medford-based Lithia Motors shut down the Saturn store at the end of March.
Kiefer said he was excited to get his Mazda store back on what he called the �premier auto row� in the region.
�It�s been our dream to have a Goodpasture address ever since we came to town,� he said.
Kiefer Mazda had been on Goodpasture Island Road as a tenant, but lost its lease in 2007.
A former tire store behind Valley River Center was the only thing available, Kiefer said. The property wasn�t designed to be an auto dealership, he said, and it was off the main drag.
When he found out the former Saturn dealership location would be available, Kiefer looked into buying the property. He declined to disclose the purchase price, and the transaction has not yet been recorded with Lane County.
In 2008, the property had an assessed value of $2.1 million, and a real market value of $3.5 million, according to county property records. The sellers are William and Julia Atkin, who previously operated Emerald Chrysler-Plymouth at that location.
With a 16,000-square-foot showroom and 3.6 acres of blacktop, the new facility is about three times larger than the one behind the mall, Kiefer said.
Lithia had done an extensive remodel of the showroom about three years ago, so all that�s needed now is some painting and minor floor coverings, he said.
The Kiefer Kia dealership will remain at its current location at 1810 W. Seventh St., Eugene.
In addition to the two Eugene dealerships, Kiefer and his wife, Corinne, own a Mazda-Subaru store in Boise and a Mazda store in Coeur d�Alene, Idaho.
�Our customers and employees have been great about the move, and we appreciate everyone�s patience during the transition,� Kiefer said. | 2019-04-19T08:48:51Z | https://www.registerguard.com/rg/business/14576578-63/story.csp |

BlackBerry 10 devices coming late 2012 | BlackBerry Blast!
During the company's third quarter earnings call, Research In Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie confirmed that the next generation BlackBerry 10 devices will not arrive until late in 2012. This is not great news for RIM. The company has already lowered guidance for the fourth quarter, and the co-CEOs are fighting requests by some investors that the company needs new leadership. They are way behind Apple and Android in the smartphone market, and they cannot afford to wait until the end of next year to get something new to market.
Apparently, part of the problem is RIM is waiting for new dual core processors to be available before they can bring the BlackBerry 10 phones to market.
What do you think? Can RIM survive the long wait until BlackBerry 10 devices? In another six months so many Apple and Android phones will be shipped that RIM will be in an even more weakened position. Also, don't forget Microsoft who is coming on strong with Windows Phones. | 2019-04-20T05:07:59Z | http://www.blackberryblast.com/articles/2011/12/20111216-BlackBerry-10-devices-coming.html |

“The new model is built on trust and fairness,” states Jari Lindström (BR), the Minister of Employment.
The so-called phase two of the much-criticised activation model for unemployment security would introduce notable changes to the sanctions imposed on job seekers who fail to fulfil their obligations.
Jari Lindström (BR), the Minister of Employment, confirmed yesterday that the new model would oblige job seekers to apply for at least four jobs a month under the threat of a temporary suspension of benefits.
Job seekers who fail to send the number of job applications prescribed in their personal employment plan would first be issued a reminder of the non-gratuitous nature of unemployment security. If they continued to neglect their job-seeking obligations, they would face a temporary suspension of benefits or be issued a so-called employment obligation.
By contrast, the current benefit suspensions imposed for failures to apply for a job offered by employment services, refusals to draft an employment plan and refusals to participate or complete participation in employment services would be abolished, according to a press release from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy.
“The new model is built on trust and fairness: Those who need support will get it. Monitoring would be based on information reported by job seekers, and sanctions would be more lenient,” summarised Lindström.
“[Job seekers] could decide [by] themselves which suitable jobs to apply for and when,” he added.
Job seekers who fail to apply for a job offered by employment services currently face a 60-day suspension and those who refuse to draft an employment plan at least a 30-day suspension of benefits.
The first violation would in the future result in a reminder, the second in a 10-day suspension of benefits, the third in a 20-day suspension of benefits and the fourth in the imposition of an employment obligation. Turning down a guaranteed full-time job, meanwhile, would continue to result in a 90-day suspension of benefits.
The Ministry of Employment and the Economy also assured that there would be no overlap in the sanctions laid out in the activation model for unemployment security and the model for independent job seeking.
Lindström explained that the failure to apply for a job, for example, would not lead to both a suspension of benefits under the model for independent job seeking and a cut in employment benefits under the activation model.
“These kind of double sanctions are prevented already in the existing law,” he stated.
The Ministry of Employment and the Economy will start requesting feedback on the model for independent job seeking in the near future. | 2019-04-20T15:09:40Z | http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/politics/15645-lindstroem-government-to-impose-new-requirements-reduce-sanctions-on-job-seekers.html |

Hier ist die Originalseite zu finden: en:openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory.
Anmerkungen des Übersetzers: Aus eigenem Interesse übersetzen.
This article will give you a view from the contributor perspective on openSUSE Factory, such as concepts, commands to execute, people to talk to and so on. It is meant as a starting point and does not intend to replace in-depth documentation for things like programming languages, compilers, packaging or the Open Build Service. You are expected to know about those things already. This article will show that contribution to Factory is both easy and very welcome.
The easiest and most convenient way to contribute to Factory is to just submit fixes. If you know why a package does not build or does not work correctly, why not send a fix? If the version of a package is outdated, why not update it? To make this possible for everybody, the openSUSE developers leverage the collaboration features of the Open Build Service for Factory contributions. This means that everyone can branch packages from openSUSE:Factory, do modifications and submit them back; it is as easy as checkers. First, you need to checkout the package with osc.
As you can see, the server created a copy of the package from the correct devel project and placed the result into your home project. Check it out to your local machine to do any changes.
Alternatively, you can use `osc bco` to chain the branch+checkout actions into one command.
Remember to add an entry to the changelog so that it is easy for others to know about your changes.
After you have changed what you wanted to fix and the package builds and works correctly, you can check in your changes to your branch.
Then submit them to the developer of the package for review.
The developer of the package will then get notified about your submission and will review it. We call this BURPing.
If you have never created a package before, you may want to visit this tutorial before you begin submitting packages to OBS.
First and foremost, your package needs to reside in a devel project, which will act as a feeder project to openSUSE:Factory for your package. The home: namespace is not permitted to act as a develprj. Look which devel projects with similar packages to yours are maintained, and when you have found a good project, try to contact its maintainers and tell them that you want to maintain a package there. The easiest way is to simply send your package to the devel project.
A list of the current devel projects can be found in the drop-down menu on top of this page. Find a public list of all projects here. If you cannot find a corresponding topic, you need to use our catchall project devel:openSUSE:Factory. If you have a completely new collection of packages that could form their own devel project, see #How to request a new devel project.
After you have found a devel project, you can send your package to openSUSE:Factory. The submit request (SR) must contain a note with information about the package. Preferably, you introduce the package to the opensuse-factory list and point to that introduction in your submitrequest. A good introduction contains information on the state of the upstream project and how maintainable it is and what the purpose of having it in the distribution will be.
Scenario: There is a piece of software that is not in Factory, it is not maintained anywhere in the openSUSE Build Service (except possibly in the home: space), and you want to get it into Factory/Tumbleweed.
First, you need an OBS project somewhere outside of the home: namespace. In most cases, one of the existing devel projects will be appropriate for your new package. Just submit an SR to the appropriate devel project.
If you need a new devel project, one way to get one is to contact the maintainers of an existing top-level project and ask them to create a subproject for you. If none of the existing namespaces are a good fit, ask the OBS maintainers to create a new project space by opening a bug or writing to admin@opensuse.org.
If the project your package ends up in is an existing devel project, you can now submit the package to Factory.
However, if you had to make a new project for your package, there is more work to do. Each package in Factory/Tumbleweed has a "devel package" associated with it. These are the projects in the drop-down menu on top of the openSUSE:Factory project page. The location of the devel package (i.e. the project where it lives) determines what the devel project for that package is. In our case, both the package and the project are new: Factory doesn't know about them. When you submit from an project that is not in the list, the submission will be auto-declined.
This appears to be a Catch-22 situation. There is a way out, however, by whitelisting the new project/package combination in the osc plugin that vets Factory submissions. To do this and edit the check_source.whitelist file in the osc-plugin-factory project on GitHub by submitting a pull request. Once it is merged, you can submit the package.
If a package is already in Factory and is merely being moved to a new location, and that new location is not a Factory devel project yet, it can be made into one by issuing a changedevelreq for that package to the new location (after moving the package). If that new location was not yet a devel repo, upon accepting the chgdev, it will become a devel repo and all future submissions from this repo, including all other packages there, will be accepted.
go to build.opensuse.org, login, then search for the package you're interested in, then "Request role addition".
The Open Build Service will notify you about new requests via email. You also can also query it for all the new request.
Merging the changes is as simple as accepting the request. Its a good idea to examine the changes first.
Once you are satisfied with the state of your package in your devel project, simply submit it to openSUSE:Factory.
If you submit a lot of related packages in a short period, be prepared to equally receive declines. Time has shown that, if there is a problematic change in one package, there is a fair chance the same issue is present in other packages of the mass submit. We would therefore recommend that, if you plan on doing a mass submission, that you split it up into batches, and that the first batch has only on the order of 5–10 packages. Subsequent batches of a mass submit can increase in size linearly.
If you want to fix a package in a released distribution, like openSUSE 11.4, you have to do some additional steps. They are described in the package maintenance guidelines.
Warnung!If you are not the maintainer of the package, please talk to the maintainer before doing any of the steps below.
Before you drop any package please consider our drop policy for openSUSE:Factory. Thanks in advance.
Let's assume that we want to drop the oldstuff package from Factory, and that its devel project is devel:openSUSE:Factory. You should first check that no other packages depend on oldstuff in Factory.
Once you have found a solution, just file a drop request for oldstuff in openSUSE:Factory, explaining why you want to drop the package.
When a package is removed from Factory, it is not automatically removed from the devel project. The reason is that the package could still be used outside of Factory, in the devel project for some other reasons. So, depending on your needs, you might want to remove the package from the devel project too.

I should probably start by acknowledging that the above title is a little misleading, since strictly speaking the recipe I bring to you here is for a cake that can be made (and enjoyed) at pretty much any time of year, and is not just limited to those waning days of summer such as we’re experiencing now. Still, there’s something about the simple, celebratory quality of this cake that makes it particularly well-suited for these early weeks of September—an ideal send off for all those locally grown, sun ripened blueberries sitting in the fridge, and a warming welcome for the cool mornings that are just around the corner. That was my feeling, anyway, as my niece, Isabel, and I set about assembling the cake for a family dinner at my parents’ place in Maine several weeks back. It’s worth noting that at the time I had no intention of posting the recipe here, as it had already been featured on a number of blogs (most recently on Tim Mazurek’s excellent site, Lottie and Doof ), and I couldn’t imagine there would be much more to add to the conversation. I changed my mind, however, for one simple reason: this cake is too good not to share with all of you as well. And, of course, I ended up tweaking the original recipe slightly, so if nothing else you can consider this my five-cents addition to the dialogue.
But that seems to be thing about this recipe: people keep stumbling upon it, giving it a whirl, then feeling the need to spread the word (sort of like a chain letter, but with none of the foreboding if you choose to ignore it, and the simple promise of something good to eat if you don’t). The recipe was given its latest set of legs by the cooking show America’s Test Kitchen, who picked it up from their sister publication, Cook’s Country. Prior to that, one can assume at least a modicum of fame for the recipe following its selection as a Pillsbury bake-off winner—the timing of which I’m not exactly certain, but based on its original moniker of “Blueberry Boy Bait” (so-called because of its alleged success with teenage boys), I’d wager occurred sometime during the 1950s.
Still, one of the winningest qualities about this cake is the fact that it’s not explosively sweet—it’s coffee cake or muffin sweet, but a long way from the cloying sugary-ness of many fruit-based desserts. Together with its low-lying, compact nature (this is the kind of cake you want to hold in your hand, bypassing a plate and fork altogether), it’s a characteristic that makes for an ideal breakfast treat or simple dessert, when you’re looking for a homey, gratifying reward and don’t feel like blowing the doors off with something more high impact. Which is not to say that this is a sugar-free experience—far from it. In fact, a standout pleasure of this cake is its lace-y, caramelized topping, one that comes courtesy of that age-old duo, cinnamon and sugar. Here the pairing offers a seductive hit of sweetness, while also providing a bit of crunch that proves the perfect foil to the moist, tight crumb of the cake’s interior.
But one can’t underestimate the appeal of another of this recipe’s standout features: its ease. It’s a quality underscored by the fact that on my initial outing with this cake, Isabel and I assembled all the ingredients and had it in the oven in little more than fifteen minutes—this despite a good deal of family traffic in and out of the kitchen, not to mention a pileup of baby bottles and other items clustered on the counters. Still, it doesn’t require a lot of real estate, or focus, to take a mixer and beat a few sticks of softened butter with a quantity of sugar (both white and light brown) until it’s fluffy, then to introduce several eggs until they’ve just merged with the other ingredients. Nor is it particularly taxing to mix in a third of your dry ingredients (the flour, baking powder, and salt, previously whisked together) as you do next, followed by half of your milk, and then to repeat the sequence so that you end this phase of the cake’s assembly the same way you started it—with a third of the dry ingredients. And then there’s the addition of the 1/2 cup of blueberries—tossed with a tablespoon of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom, and gently folded into the batter. Easy stuff.
All that remains is to spread the batter into a greased and buttered baking dish (13 by 9-inches, if you’re following the ATK recipe to the letter), scattering the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries across the top, and sprinkling with the aforementioned cinnamon and sugar. Slip the pan into a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or so, and you’re good to go. Of course, as discussed above, I made a few small changes to the recipe, some of which you will likely already have noticed from the accompanying photos presented here. The first and most significant is that rather than baking the cake in the pan prescribed by the recipe, Isabel and I decided to go out on a limb and bake the cake in a 10-inch cast iron skillet instead. The decision was a relatively simple one, as the only pan in my parents’ kitchen approximating the requested size was already in use, but it also proved a fortuitous one as the rustic quality of the skillet proved a perfect match for the cake’s fuss-free, homespun quality. What’s more, it allows you to skip the recipe’s final step of turning the cake out onto a serving platter, as one of the pleasures of a cast iron skillet (at least for me) is the ability to serve directly from it, something I especially like to do with anything baked.
And a few other tweaks, some not entirely successful: One involved the quantity of berries called for by the recipe, a measurement Isabel and I thought could stand to be increased. Since we were working with local Maine blueberries, which are about a fourth the size (and weight) of the sort you find in most other parts of the country, our decision to increase the number used in the batter by an additional 1/4 cup was a good one (in fact, in our post-game analysis we determined we could have added even more, doubling the number from a 1/2 cup to a whole). But when I tried the same ratio at home using the standard sized berries I’d sourced at the farmer’s market, they proved too heavy for the batter and once out of the oven, ended up lining the bottom of my pan. And I ran into a similar problem when, a few weeks later, I decided to add some leftover blackberries into the mix. So unless you’re working with very small berries, it’s best to keep the measurements as listed below. Either way this simple dessert cake is a surefire crowd-pleaser, no matter what time of day—or year—you decide to make it. Don’t believe me? Just watch the line form.
NOTE: If using frozen blueberries, do not let them thaw, as they will turn the batter a blue-green color.
—Adjust oven rake to middle position and heat oven to 350˚. Grease and flour a 13” by 9” baking pan (or a 10” cast-iron skillet).
—Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. With electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Reduce speed to medium and beat in one-third of flour mixture until incorporated; beat in half of milk. Beat in half of remaining flour mixture, then remaining milk, and finally remaining flour mixture. Toss blueberries with remaining teaspoon flour. Using rubber spatula, gently fold in blueberries. Spread batter into prepared pan.
I simply adore this cake! I am making it for the second time in a week and a half. It is great for almost anyone; not to fancy for people with simpler palates, but not to simple for those with complex tastes. | 2019-04-23T08:55:14Z | http://therecipegrinder.com/blueberrycake/ |
Radial head subluxation (also “pulled elbow” or “nursemaid's elbow”) refers to the partial dislocation of the head of the radius at the level of the radio-humeral joint. The injury most commonly occurs in young children after sudden tugging of the outstretched and pronated arm (e.g., adults suddenly pulling a child's arm to keep it from falling). Clinical signs include painful and limited movement of the upper extremity and guarding, with the arm held in a flexed and pronated position. The diagnosis is often made based on typical symptoms and therefore x-ray imaging is generally not required. Management is usually conservative and involves closed, manual reduction of the radial head. The reduction can be carried out in an outpatient setting and does not require any immobilization of the elbow or further surgical treatment.
Subluxation of the radial head through the annular ligament: The annular ligament is interposed and entrapped in the radiocapitellar joint.
Age: 1–5 years, peak incidence between two and three years.
Previous history of radial head subluxation .
The condition is predominantly clinically diagnosed, with a limited role for imaging. A successfully executed closed manual reduction is not just therapeutic, but also diagnostic (see “Therapy” below).
Not necessary, if the patient presents with typical history and clinical signs.
Ultrasound: may be considered to prevent misdiagnosis and delayed treatment in children too young to properly articulate their symptoms, like those < 2 years.
Effusion or hemarthrosis of the elbow joint may be present .
Nondisplaced fractures are treated conservatively with a plaster splint for approx. 2 weeks.
Immobilization of the arm is not required. Most children regain full mobility of the elbow in a short time (10-30 minutes post reduction).

1.2 Why Do You need to Start Using a VPN Router?
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is an innovative technology, which makes an encrypted connection over a public network.
Individuals can use VPNs to gain access to network resources when they are not physically on the same local area network or as a way of encrypting and securing their communications when using an untrustworthy public network.
Businesses can use VPNs to connect data centers remotely.
The advantage of employing a VPN is to ensure the high-security level to the connected systems which cannot be provided by the underlying network infrastructure.
A VPN secures the internet connection of your computer giving you a 100% guarantee that all the information you are receiving and sending is secured from prying eyes.
Why Do You need to Start Using a VPN Router?
There are several compelling reasons to start using a VPN Router. A VPN is one of the most effective ways to bolster your security and gain access to resources on a network you are not physically connected to.
A worker or a student may use VPNs offered by their company or school to access resources on their own network without compromising security when they are traveling or when at home. Individuals can also set up their own VPN to access their secure home network safely while they are traveling.
VPNs are incredibly useful when connecting multiple networks securely. Most business count on a VPN when it comes to sharing networked resources such as servers among multiple stores or offices across the globe.
If you are a privacy-minded individual or a security advocate living in a completely open and free environment or a strictly monitored one, you can use a VPN to keep your communications encrypted and secure from prying eyes.
One of the best reasons most people use a VPN is to circumvent Geo-blocking on regionally restricted websites. For instance, you can use a VPN for entertainment purposes like watching BBCi Player while outside the UK just through connecting to a British VPN.
The Netgear R7000 AC1900 VPN router is an amazing networking masterpiece with incredible power to go around.
It revolutionizes your home networking with an ultra-powered dual-core processor running at a whopping 1 GHz, becoming one of the speedy 802.11ac routers ever provided by Netgear.
The router prepares your network for the most modern wireless-AC standard devices while still supporting legacy Wireless-G and the latest Wireless-N kit.
With a high powered processor, the VPN router will never disappoint when it comes to performance and speed. It makes handling of OpenVPN decryption/encryption such a breeze.
Specially designed for larger homes, the VPN router provides unique range and reliable, steady wireless internet built to serve multiple devices at ago.

It is also outfitted with internal amplifiers and comes complete with three adjustable external antennas for an enhanced signal.
Triple beamforming antenna configuration, although nothing special, delivers great performance.
Compact, but still an eye-catching design.
The NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 is a cheap, compact and all-around capable router, but if you are looking for an efficient VPN-capable device, look elsewhere.
The AC1900’s VPN and security functions are a joke compared to the competition, and even the low price of only $150 can’t make up for the AC1900’s shortcomings.
However, if you don’t deem VPN an important criterion to consider when purchasing a new router, then the AC1900 can be seen as a practical, affordable, albeit limited option.
ASUS RT-N66W is an awe-inspiring white edition of the popular RT N66U from the same brand. Featuring three antennas, 11 GB WAN port, two internal USB ports, and 4 GB LAN ports it is easy to tell that this is one of the VPN routers that proudly wears the crown of the global best.
Installation, set-up, access customization, as well as signal strength monitoring has never become such a breeze to VPN users! The VPN router stunningly boosts wi-fi speeds by a whopping 50 percent and can effortlessly handle the massive bandwidth needed for demanding online multiplayer gaming or large home, the extremely user-friendly router performs quite excellently. By utilizing sophisticated and innovative interface tools, this device allows effortless user control for all parental settings.D streaming.
It features loads balance and failover mode; the router is able to offer uninterrupted stability and redundancy for internet connectivity anywhere in your office or home.
High range of over 4000 sq ft.
The ASUS RT-N66W doesn’t try to be what it is not, and for that, we are thankful. Behind its sleek, white looks, there lies a great budget VPN router that includes the very same ASUSWRT Dashboard as in the much more expensive AC17500. Still, don’t expect absurd speeds from this entry-level device, as the RT-N66W does not feature 802.11ac capability, effectively locking the maximum bandwidth at 900Mbps. If you’re looking for the simplest, most cost-effective VPN router solution for your home or small business, even if that means compromises in some other areas have to be made, then look no further than this.
The Linksys E2500 provides a superior wireless speed of as high as 300Mbps, optimal range, and ultra-powerful innovative dual-band technology to offer advanced performance for active wireless offices and homes. Being provided at an amenable price, it is a perfect choice for those who are on a tight budget.
One of its important features that can’t be overlooked is its ability to employ the latest upgraded version of Tomato firmware. It also has a simultaneous dual-band innovative state-of-the-art technology that doubles your network bandwidth and assists to avoid network interference. The feature also enables quicker and smoother file transfer and media streaming.
A MIMO antenna array also provides unbeatable range and superior reliability. Has SPI firewall and WPA/WPA2 encryption that assists keep your network well protected. Cisco Connect software included that provides powerful tools for the ongoing management of your network.
The Linksys E2500 might seem like a bargain at an MSRP of only $55, but we recommend staying away from it. While the Tomato firmware support is appreciated, as are its data streaming capabilities, the lackluster speed, weird Cisco Connect VPN service, lack of most taken-for-granted features, impractical internal antennas and general inferiority, even when compared with other budget models such as the aforementioned ASUS-RTN66W, make the E2500 a poor man’s choice of a router.
The ASUS Dual-Band Wireless Router offers the quickest speed dual wireless data throughput ever available in the market for as high as 1167 Mbps of concurrent dual-band speed on the most modern generation of wireless connectivity.
It doesn’t have an external antenna but sports four inbuilt antennas. It supports all the modern kinds of internet signals such as all sorts of encryption, WPS support, and VPN. Also, the latest router features a roaming assistant and supports a whopping 22 languages. The router also doubles as an access point and a wireless bridge which can be the most helpful feature when your router’s lifespan as your primary router comes to an end.
Its Airadar can intelligently strengthen wireless connectivity by use of 802.11ac beamforming technology, exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning, and high power amplification. All these ensure enhanced stability, progressive data speed increases, and extended coverage.
Doubles as an Access Point.
The ASUS AC1200 presents itself as a stylish, modern mid-range router, featuring the full ASUSWRT VPN client also present on other ASUS routers as well as dual-band internal antennas adding up to a 1.2Gbps top speed, and, at a $95 price tag, is one of the cheapest devices featuring Wireless-AC on the market today. However, the AC1200 does compromise performance in favor of its arguably sleek looks, as the internal antenna configuration means that range and connection quality are subaverage.
The ASUS RT-AC87U Wireless enables you to access, share, stream, and sync your files from anywhere and on any Internet-enabled device. It features an ultra-quick 802.11ac wi-fi router which has a dual-band data speed of 2334 Mbps for a smooth as high as 4K/UHD video playback, super quick large files sharing as well as low latency online gaming.

By using one of our top pick VPN routers, your network confidentiality and security will never be a worry. If you’re just a Single user or sharing an Internet connection with another person, We recommend one of the cheaper routers.
Difference Between VPN & VPN Passthrough on a Router?
What is the VPN Concentrator?
An amazing and thoughtful article, although I would like to know your opinion on products such as wouter VPN (www.purevpn.com/wouter) or Norton (anti virus and malware) as both of them comes with pre-installed VPN service. Are they any good and what is the future outlook overall of VPN routers?
Nice article and great content. I am pleased to find this type of content on google. | 2019-04-19T21:20:44Z | https://www.pickmyrouter.com/best-vpn-routers/ |
The Xen Project descended on Toronto, Canada in late August for its annual Xen Project Developer Summit. The Summit is an opportunity for developers and software engineers to collaborate and discuss the latest advancements of the Xen Project software. It also gives developers a chance to better understand new trends and deployments in the community and from power enterprise users.
From community growth to new emerging use cases, the Summit covered a lot of ground. Developments within core technologies such as security, graphics support and hardware support were discussed. We also covered emerging technologies such as automotive, embedded and IoT. All sessions were recorded and are available here and also on slideshare (follow this link for summit presentations).
Below is a summary of a few videos that feature technology that has been recently introduced into the Xen Project hypervisor as well as emerging technologies that are being built with Xen Project technology.
In Xen Project 4.7, we introduced Live Patching as a technology preview. Live Patching gives system administrators and DevOps practitioners the ability to update the Xen Project hypervisor without the need for a reboot. Konrad Wilk, software development manager of Oracle and Ross Lagerwall, software enggineer at Citrix, provide insight into how it works, what the difficulties were to implement, and how it compares to other technologies for patching (kGraft, kPatch, kSplice, Linux hot-patching).
Dimitri Stilliadis, CEO of Aporeto, provides a great overview of the benefits of using Xen Project software to provide an execution environment for Docker apps. This approach allows VM-like isolations for security measures without having to sacrifice performance. The presentation introduces a new paravirtualized protocol to virtualise IP sockets and provides the design and implementation details.
Data breaches are happening all the time, and there are many ways that organisations are trying to stop this through detection, pattern matching and behavioural analysis. However, Neil Sikka, founder and CEO of A1LOGIC, provides a new way of looking at this problem and solving this problem by using the Xen Project hypervisor to enforce data loss prevention. It doesn’t use any type of detection, heuristics, pattern matching or behavioural analysis, but rather a strictly algorithmic approach rooted in hardware.
Members from the Xen Project sister community OpenXT, an open-source development toolkit for hardware-assisted security research and appliance integration, were present to provide some insights into how Xen Project is working within the embedded space and best practices for embedding Xen Project on mobile and tablet devices.
If this is an area that you are interested in, check out Christopher Clark (consultant and interoperability architect at BAE Systems) overview of the OpenXT Project, which has begun to attract new users and contributors. We also recommend Chris Patterson’s and Kyle Temkin’s step-by-step guide on the challenges and lessons to get Xen Project software started on phones and tablets. Chris is a advising computer engineer for AIS and Kyle is researcher for AIS.
Xen Project is consistently becoming more common within automotive and aviation. Xen Project 4.7 introduced the ability to remove core Xen Hypervisor features at compile time via KCONFIG. This allows a more lightweight hypervisor, which is perfect for IoT scenarios and better for security-first environments, like automotive.
Sangyun Lee, senior embedded software engineer of LG Electronics, presents on the real-time GPU scheduling of XenGT in Automotive Embedded systems. It introduces the real-time GPU schedule of XenGT running on automotive embedded systems and explains why this should be used for an automotive system.
Xen Project is consistently being used within embedded systems for automotive. Earlier this year at CES, GlobalLogic showcased its technology behind Nautilus, which is the company’s virtualisation solution that enables multiple domains to share the GPU hardware with no more than a 5 percent overall in performance changes. More on this technology and how it uses Xen Project here.
The summit was a huge success with many interesting conversations. The Xen Project thanks everyone who attended and presented as well as the sponsors of the event Citrix, Huawei and Intel. | 2019-04-22T14:39:40Z | https://xenproject.org/2016/09/26/a-recap-of-xen-project-developer-summit-2016/ |

Al-Ani’s practice is a diverse one, but a few common themes and strategies stand out. She tackles the issues of conflict, loss and displacement, but in an allegorical mode, setting up theatrical situations in which personal traumas take on a broader historical resonance. She repeatedly implicates her audience, turning the experience of viewing into a reflexive and occasionally uncomfortable one. That is not to say that her work is austere or sermonising. It offers an array of sensory and intellectual pleasures, but those pleasures are made contingent on the viewer’s awareness of his or her own occasionally compromised position in her dramas. | 2019-04-26T14:39:15Z | http://www.contemporaryartsociety.org/artist-members/janane-al-ani/ |

This brush head replacement arrived quickly. I had used the regular and "deep pore" heads before and liked them. But I am now using the "radiance" and think it is gentler on my skin and does just as good a job of cleaning my face. Overall very happy!
Love the sensitive skin brush head. The delicate one I didn't feel did the trick and the normal one was a bit to much for my sensitive skin. I use it once a day and keep it in the shower. I always get compliments on my glowy skin, well this is certainly one of the reasons. Love my Clarisonic!
It's a great neutral brush for your Clarisonic. I have sensitive skin but I'm also prone to acne. I feel like this brush is gentle enough on my face yet manages to even my tone very nicely. Plus that's the best deal you'll get for this type of product!
I only use the Clarisonic brush heads with my "mia" as they are softer, last longer, and clean more deeply without irritation. They are expensive to buy individually so I recommend buying them in the twin or value pack when on sale.
I gave my daughter my Clarasonic and bought myself a pink Mia fit which came with radiance brush heads. So I bought radiance replacement brush heads for her also. She is young, 35, and these will certainly keep her complexion radiant. And I'm hoping my radiance brushes will keep me the young looking 67 year old grandmother that I am. I have used Clarisonic products for as long as I can remember...perhaps that's why no one guesses my age. Thank you Clarisonic! | 2019-04-21T22:01:55Z | https://www.lovelyskin.com/o/reviews/clarisonic-replacement-brush-heads |
Eliot is a super six year old with an overdeveloped imagination. Cheerful and mischievous, he spends most of his time inventing and playing in wild stories where monsters, knights and aliens rub shoulders.
When Isabelle refuses to buy Eliot the box of super cereal that comes with a free pair of X-ray glasses that can unmask clones, Eliot is convinced that his mother has already been turned into a clone. | 2019-04-20T23:16:48Z | http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/abc1/201304/programs/ZY8739A002D2013-04-24T161729.htm |

Leah Lucci is a very active Doodle Addict with a sketchbook that's always grabbing my attention due to its vibrant backdrops and white space illustrations. I love the randomness an chaos of her uploads, which are a colorful combination of ink, acrylic, and watercolor. Her characters, people, and animals are fun and quirky and my favorite part of it all are her captions for each of the spreads. Seriously, they're hilarious and worth reading so I highly recommend that you follow her and check out more of her artwork! | 2019-04-25T23:57:13Z | https://www.doodlersanonymous.com/post/2575/the-vibrant-and-silly-sketchbook-of-leah-lucci/ |

GMR Motorex KTM racer Jay Wilson kicked off his NSW Motocross Championship campaign in style at round one held at Mt Kembla on 3 & 4 April. The event was hampered by rain and a mud soaked circuit, which made for tough racing but it was Wilson who came out on top in both the two and four stroke classes.
“This season Jay Wilson chose to contest the NSW Motocross Championships, and he has kicked off his title campaign in style,” said Macdonald. “Jay qualified well in both classes, and although he initially struggled to get off the concrete gate in his early races, he soon worked out his strategy and it paid off - winning races is much easier when you get off the gate and get up front early! | 2019-04-26T08:30:56Z | http://www.gmr-motorexktm.com.au/news/archived/306/ |
Tired of pulling conversion rates manually? Me too!
Let’s build ourselves a currency converter in Alteryx Designer version 10.1 using the http://fixer.io/ exchange rates. Fixer.io is a free JSON API for current foreign exchange rates published by the European Central Bank. The rates are updated daily around 3PM CET.
Tony, great post. In the URL I noticed you can also add a date to get historical rates for that day. What I tried to do is add a date input and Value replace on the URL for that date field 2015-02-01 for instance is my default in the URL. Hower I can't seem to replace the date similar to you are replacing the base value. Any idea how to do this with a calendar tool?
I've managed to get the URL that can handle historical rates. From the example above, the text input URL would change to http://api.fixer.io/2016-01-20?base=USD. This link will pull the rates for today (latest) and a Calendar interface tool will allow a selection of historical dates.
In the action tool for the calendar I am updating the value for the date string via the calendar selection.
This is amazing! I'm looking to see if something similar exists for Weight Unit conversion. LBS to KG or Tons etc. It should be even easier as these conversions never change unlike exchange rates.
Would you be able to upload the version with the calendar allowing you to pull historical rates? Much appreciated!!!
I have uploaded the version that can pull historical rates. Please let me know if this is the solution you were looking for!
Thanks for the prompt reply! It's very close to what I am looking for and I am wondering if you can show me one step further. Using your tool right now, I can only specify one date during each run. Is it possible to have it pull multiple dates? Let's say 2014-1-1 to Today? Can we specify whether we want daily or weekly rates?
Sorry for all the questions. This is an awesome tool and will be very helpful if it can do that.
I've updated the macro to pull results from a given date or date range now @ckjcheung. Thanks again for the suggestion. May I ask how you are utilizing the macro? I'd like to hear about how it is being deployed.
Thanks for uploading the tool. I work in Asia and my company need to deal with multiple currencies (RMB, JPY, KRW, HKD...) and need to be able to convert them back to USD based on the weekly rates. I need to be able to pull weekly exchange rate data so the weekly report I do can reflect the latest currency exchange effects. I had to manually copy and paste data from websites before.
I'm a beginner with Alteryx, and I'm trying to use this macro to do a dynamic fx conversion for a weekly report I'm running, but it doesn't have any output for me, what am I doing wrong?
I am connecting it to the workflow, and giving it input a column of integers, the amount I want to convert in USD from EUR, and setting the calendar date for today.
I have been using your macro since last month, and it worked really well; however, today it threw error '404'. The fixer link doesn't seem to be working. I created my ID on fixer.io and used the "Historical endpoint link", but I am not able to change the base currency. It would be great if you can help me fix this.
Yes I realised that I would need atleast a basic subscription. But since I was dealing with only historical currency rates, I created a historical currency rates database and used that to build a currency conversion macro. | 2019-04-20T14:20:05Z | https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Currency-Converter/tac-p/33665/highlight/true |

Food safety advocates are expressing sharp disappointment with the final federal GMO labeling rule, released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
While industry-friendly Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue asserted in a press statement that the new standard for foods produced using genetic engineering (GE or GMO) would boost "the transparency of our nation's food system" and ensure "clear information and labeling consistency for consumers about the ingredients in their food," groups like the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP)—and even food giants like Nestlé—say it does nothing of the sort.
Encouraging news on the fight against plastic pollution! Europe is one step closer to banning some of the most common single-use plastics to help protect the environment and reduce marine litter.
Negotiators from the European Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on Wednesday to reduce use or eliminate plastic products such as cigarette butts, straws, bottles, cutlery and cotton buds. The European Commission—the EU's executive arm—first introduced the sweeping proposal in May.
While the COP24 climate talks are at risk of ending without a concrete plan of action thanks in large part to the Trump administration's commitment to a dirty energy agenda, environmental groups on Thursday celebrated a major milestone in the global movement to take down the fossil fuel industry after the number of public and private institutions that have vowed to divest from oil, gas and coal companies surpassed 1,000.
A string of small earthquakes were reported the town of Blackpool just days after fracking operations restarted in England after a seven year hiatus, raising concerns that the controversial drilling process could eventually trigger bigger temblors.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) detected five quakes since Thursday near the contentious Preston New Road site operated by UK shale gas firm Cuadrilla Resources.
While the oil and gas industry has lauded the new trade deal that may soon replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a provision added by Mexico, along with its new president's plan to ban fracking, could complicate the industry's rising ambitions there.
The new agreement, known as the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), has faced criticism as being tantamount to NAFTA 2.0—more of a minor reboot that primarily benefits Wall Street investors and large corporations, including oil and gas companies. | 2019-04-21T08:20:50Z | https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/friends-of-the-earth |

Seriously no one else is voting for Chrono Trigger?!
I've come to appreciate multiplayer over single player these days, all else being equal.
I'm a gaming solipsist. I believe true multiplayer is impossible since I can only be sure of the existence of my own gaming.
Quick! Everybody get Chrono Trigger on the VC! Embrace the best game ever!
YES, Ocarina of Time is GOOD, but its no Chrono Trigger.
I feel like these decisions are so hard, I'm not even fully confident in my own but at the moment I posted, that was my best bet.

Today, we had an overload of cuteness courtesy of a baby squirrel.
I found him in the front yard, confused and weak. I snatched him up from a feral cat, who was approaching him with bad intentions, took him inside, and began the process of Baby Squirrel Rescue.
They can drink pedialyte and water as a mixture.
They SNORE, and it’s insanely adorable. I know this because Noah (my son named him) fell asleep in my hand when his tummy was full, and he snored. It’s the best thing ever.
After he was strong enough, and stabilized, I put him under his tree and stood watch. Unfortunately, it became clear he was an orphan, but we had a wonderful solution. After a series of calls, I drove Noah to Walden’s Puddle, a wildlife sanctuary about an hour away.
It’s like heaven on earth. I met owls, squirrels, turkeys, possums, birds, snakes, and a pair of sassy turtles. Here’s the site– I’ll be supporting them from now on.
Here’s an action shot of Noah enjoying his second cashew, which led to a nap.
He’s safe, happy, and on the road to recovery. It’s been an excellent Saturday, and Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my friends.
Some other news: We had a photo shoot for the new book, and it was AMAZING. Jade and Quinton were the perfect people, and Dottie Rainwater captured their essence perfectly. I can’t wait to show you the results. A Touch of Frost will be available on April 7th. and I hope you love the characters as much as I do.
Meet Jade (Sammie) and Quinton (Gideon).
Coming soon– trading cards, postcards, and posters. It’s going to be a fantastic release week!
Squirrels are adorable terrorists. They’re small, agile, cute, destructive, and recently, they attempted to take me out.
Muerte. Dead. Doomed. Ixnayed. Rubbed out. Removed with extreme prejudice.
Call it what you will, this was a clear attempt on my life.
Some background: Our home is more than a century old. The backyard is filled with treasures, from modern toys, vintage toys, china, bottles, inkwells, and other various items accumulated over time.
Until now, they’ve been relatively tame, and only unearthed by our dogs. Or me. Or moles. You get the picture.
It all changed when I heard a thunk as I was near the Super Tree House Compound I built for our son. A squirrel- it could be no other beast– dropped something from the top of our maple tree.
I’m holding the knife until the end of my natural existence, in the event that the squirrels decide to take another crack at me. You must understand, I have a history with squirrels. Our relationship began quite well– we had tame squirrels that ate out of our hands. They would sit on my shoulder, and let me pet their little ears. All was well until the Pumpkin Incident of 2003.
I had a sixty pound pumpkin of such glorious orange that it was sure to be a showstopper for Halloween. When I woke up one morning before carving, I saw something odd. The back end of a squirrel protruded from the interior of my once heroic pumpkin, now a partial husk having been disemboweled by a family of squirrels.
Actually, they’re a crime family. Let’s call it like it is.
I *may* have yelled at the offending beastie, and we all know how the Squirrel Network never forgets– and never forgives.
I urge you to look up. They’re watching you, and they’re armed.
We have five dogs of various breeds. All love to bark. Barking is their favorite thing, other than sleeping, but barking has to take place in strategically placed time zones in order to maximize its effectiveness.
To wit: Barking before 7:00AM? Enthusiastic. Unending. Varying tones, pitches, and reasons. Early morning barking is, in some ways, a medical miracle. Consider the following– our basset hound, Jack Reacher, can go from a snoring, drooling sleep to fully awake and on the verge of insanity, but only if conditions are just so.
People walking by, with or without their own dog.
A change in barometric pressure.
Among the five dogs in our herd, Jack is consistently the loudest, but not at all times. That honor goes to Michael Dean, also known as Big Mike. He’s a Newfoundland, and his array of barks are topped by what we ominously call his Big Boy Voice, which is reserved for such existential threats as the UPS driver and/or roaming frozen meat salespeople. Generally, one of his window-rattling booms is enough to convince the people selling small, convenient pre-packaged meat that we’re good for this year, and maybe check back never.
I write this because it’s Sunday, the traditional day of rest, and yet I’ve been up with the dogs for some time. You see, dog are true biological wonders; they can average fifteen hours of sleep per day, but very little of their rest is actually when we sleep. Rather, dogs prefer to lay on me while I try to write during the day, then rouse their chorus of howls at any time from 11:00Pm to whenever the sky begins to turn that subtle gray that lets them know their human has quite enough rest, thank you very much, and isn’t it time we started letting the neighborhood know that the squirrels are not only still alive, but threatening the very fabric of all that is American. | 2019-04-24T08:18:37Z | http://terrymaggert.com/tag/squirrels/ |
sinulog | let's go pinas!!
Thinking that some of the regional groups would perform officially today, I went to the Aliwan Festival Grounds at the CCP complex. Too bad every magical thing will be done tomorrow. Yet some of the troups shared a sampling of what can be anticipated on the final day. I saw contingents from University of Cordillera, Carmen (Cebu), and the grand winner for the Kasadyahan Competition of the Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo rehearsed their blockings for the street dancing competition. Yes, the pulsating percussion rhythm, the complex choreography and the ornate production design just whetted my appetite for more.

Every one of us has the beast inside. But for Kyrie Smith, the beast is no metaphor. Since she was 15, when she first shape-shifted into a savage, black panther, Kyrie has questioned her humanity and moved from town to town, searching for a way to feel human again.
Kyrie's lonely life changes forever while waitressing at a cheap diner. Investigating screams from the parking lot, Kyrie stumbles upon a blood-spattered dragon crouching over a mangled human corpse. The dragon changes back into her co-worker, Tom, naked, dazed and unable to remember how he got there.
Thrust into a world of shape-shifting dragons, giant cats and other beasts waging a secret war behind humanity's back, Kyrie may find the answers she seeks—with help from Tom, a mythical object called the Pearl of Heaven, and her own inner beast.
I absolutely love how Sarah Hoyt handles the love interests in this book. In so many urban fantasy books I see unhealthy relationships portrayed as normal - men who steal kisses and untrustworthy people who are given chance after endless chance. There is no enabling in this book because Kyrie does not take crap from anyone, especially not from men who are attracted to her.
I also love seeing characters take responsibility for their actions like Hoyt's characters do. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil anything!
Draw One in the Dark (Shifter Book 1) is a great fantasy with a lot going for it: thrilling action, murder mystery, a bit of romance, and unusual shifters. This gritty urban fantasy is a fast read with a YA/New Adult feel.
In "First Fleet 3: Descent," Case answers many questions about the Grave Worlds and the disappearance of the First Fleet, and in the process pulls all of the characters together into a thrilling crises on a Grave World cut off from the rest of humanity.
As we learn more about the monster who destroyed the First Fleet, Case's blend of hard science fiction and horror reminds me of Dan Simmon's style in the Hyperion Cantos. I get the feeling that many characters are going to die before, or because, they discover the true nature of their adversary.
Even as Case brings plot thread together and answers many of our questions, I can't imagine how the story arc could possibly wrap up in only one more novella. There will have to be mind-boggling surprises in the next installment, and I can't wait!
Once again, Case leaves me itching to read more. Are you addicted to First Fleet yet?
and "Part 4" to be released later this summer.
While you're waiting for Part 4, you can read an essay by Stephen Case about writing First Fleet [ here ].
Sophronia Lambert, a schoolteacher on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, lives a quiet life; that is until Nantucket whaling captain James Folger comes ashore. Realizing he is the man who killed her deaf brother, she decides to pursue vengeance – first at home, then at sea-sailing to the far side of the world as his bride. As she grapples with madness and morality, Sophronia’s quest mirrors that of her island community: to find a way forward amidst the pressures of a brutal industry, a nation mired in Civil War, and a past darker than the ocean’s abyss.
When Sophronia Lambert elopes and joins the Eliza Jane as Captain Folger's wife, her uncle Keziah Lambert and her love interest, Absalom Cook, worry that she will be “lost at sea” as was her late brother, Jonathan. If Captain Folger doesn't murder her himself, Sophronia may fall victim to the mental illness that has plagued her since she found her mother dead at the hands of her father.
Growing up on the small island of Martha's Vineyard is surely poor preparation for the brutality of an all-male crew set on the bloody business of whaling, as it proved to be for Sophronia's brother, except that this Lambert comes knowing that her true nemesis is the Quaker Captain who obsesses over numbers and superstition.
Bridwell's vividly poetic style draws the reader deep into the horrors of the human heart, whether it be Sophriona and Captain Folger's mental illnesses, the sailors' chauvinistic savagery, or the bloody process of spearing and stripping the soulful whales. But like Bridwell's realistic characters, his dark themes are tempered by the other side of humanity; the sudden joys, small pleasures, and even love. In this way, Sophriona's journey on board the Eliza Jane is like a mental breakdown, where she is separated from the two people who understand and love her most as she traverses what for her are uncharted waters.
Sophronia L. boasts the descriptive language of Hemingway and the complex drama of Faulkner, taking readers on a haunting journey through Sophronia's mental illness, manifest through her obsession with Captain Folger's death. I would absolutely recommend Sophronia L. as a superb novel for those who enjoy literary and historic fiction.
Check out the publisher, [Folded Word], and leave a review of Sophronia L. on [Goodreads]. | 2019-04-22T12:51:50Z | http://www.michelleristuccia.com/2015/04/ |

If you were accused of a crime, who would you rather decide your sentence--a mathematically consistent algorithm incapable of empathy or a compassionate human judge prone to bias and error? What if you want to buy a driverless car and must choose between one programmed to save as many lives as possible and another that prioritizes the lives of its own passengers? And would you agree to share your family's full medical history if you were told that it would help researchers find a cure for cancer?
These are just some of the dilemmas that we are beginning to face as we approach the age of the algorithm, when it feels as if the machines reign supreme. Already, these lines of code are telling us what to watch, where to go, whom to date, and even whom to send to jail. But as we rely on algorithms to automate big, important decisions--in crime, justice, healthcare, transportation, and money--they raise questions about what we want our world to look like. What matters most: Helping doctors with diagnosis or preserving privacy? Protecting victims of crime or preventing innocent people being falsely accused?

Are you playing the ‘bolting lottery’?
Material and manufacturing differences between apparently identical bolts can cause large differences in the bolt tension achieved on installation because each bolt stretches to a different extent when put under load. In addition, frictional forces between the bolt head and the bolting surface and those along the thread will differ from bolt to bolt, making achieving uniform ‘tightness’ through the application of an identical force to each bolt something of a lottery.
This chart demonstrates the wildly varying bolt stress achieved on the bolts in a 6” 900# RTJ flange when the same tightening force was applied to 12 ‘identical’ B16 bolts.
50% of bolts either exceeded maximum allowable flange stress or fell below the minimum advisable gasket stress values – not a good start to achieving a leak-free joint with long-term integrity.
Applying the same torque to all bolts in the flange resulted in a ‘scatter’ of bolt tension. This means that the joint is already subject to overload in some areas, whilst at other points there is insufficient tension across the joint resulting in non-uniform compression of the gasket.
Calibrated bolts will help to achieve a more consistent result but even then, only the tightening force applied, and not the achieved bolt tension, is known on installation unless some type of tension measurement fastener or system is utilised.

I was ready to head back home when the wind died right off during the outwards leg but I figured I'd see how far I'd get in three hours, and the wind came good after a while. So we did dead running, broad reaching, shy reaching, but no true beam reach and nothing hard on the nose either.
We did several jybes and went about on both tacks. All behaviours normal.
OK you can all stop clamouring. Here's your video. Ignore the grubby bits, the incorrect yard haul point, etc etc and enjoy.
I just checked the bureau and the wind speed got up to 10-15 knots for a little while, and was in the vicinity of 8-12 for a bit longer, so that explains the good boat speed.
That's pretty damn good for such a modest waterline. Five kn must be on the verge of planing.
She defs won't plane with that hull shape and a belly full of water ballast but other owners have reported boat speeds that seem too high for the wl length. Very satisfying to get her choofing along at this stage while I'm still sorting out the rig and learning how to sail a lugger.
I'll need all the advantages I can get for the next levels of use - camp cruising at an indecent distance away. I should keep my trap shut but I'm in light hearted early discussions about sailing to Tas alongside a 30 footer. Probably two years down the track, or more likely never, but I like the game.
Back to reality, I'm busy refurbishing the batteries in the electrical system. I let the li-ion cells run right down and I may have trashed a few by doing that. Anyway, i managed to kick start a charge on the whole 24 cells that make up the pack so maybe I'll get away with it. I'll need lights and charging power for the next adventures.
I'm stuck at home again for another week having volunteered to look after a dog while the owners are away. I've done a couple of very trivial jobs, but Romana is well ready to take the next leap. Weather permitting it looks like being a gulf crossing overnighter to Sheoak Flat Beach.
Subject to surviving a simple overnighter the next stage looks like being a two nighter triangle across the gulf to Black Point, Stansbury and return.
Now to one of my recurring favourite topics - self steering. Yes, I know I've already done this to death but Romana hasn't got a self steering thing yet so I'm going to make one.
It will be an experiment in three stages.
1. make a wind blade 260mm chord x 900mm span out of scraps. NACA-0012 profile. Mount it aft and above the stern of the boat on the centreline, with a crank that moves thin dyneema chord in response to the blade tilting. Take the dyneema chords direct to the tiller and see if there's enough force to steer the boat.
2. if the force on the blade is not sufficient to steer direct to the ship's tiller take the dyneema lines direct to a retractable kayak rudder mounted on the port side of the transom (away from the off-centreboard wake) and see if there's enough force to steer the boat by the kayak rudder.
3. if the force on the blade is not sufficient to steer direct to the kayak rudder, as 2, but pivot the rudder through a longitudinal pin and use the swing of the rudder in the ship's wake to provide a strong force to two lines back to the tiller.
I have the kayak rudder and the support frame for the blade mechanism. I've printed a template for the NACA-0012 foil shape and I'll make the blade.

What I meant to say is Good luck, sounds like a fun project.
Thanks, and you raised a very good question in the previous post, why the smaller kayak rudder might work in the possible outcome where the main rudder didn't.
There are two modes of force at play.
Going upwind with no self steering weather helm applies tiller force that the steers-person counteracts by pulling the tiller to windward against that force. If the tiller is lashed with a bungee you can sometimes get the forces to balance out and the boat will hold course. The shorter the effective keel length the harder that is to achieve. But putting a tiller tamer bungee across the cockpit through a clutch on the tiller allows a reasonable head start to balanced upwind steering, especially with a bit of bias to balance against weather helm. If a small balanced rudder is added in, there is not much force required to fine tune directional control.
Going downwind there is much less tiller force however with wave action to counteract the stern will want to slew and waltz. The main rudder can act as a dampener to that slewing if it is held close to a neutral position, but a bit of 'give' should be included. So again a bungee tiller tamer across the cockpit, with a clutch on the tiller, will help in that regard. A small balanced rudder will then not be required to do a lot of the work to trim the directional control.
At least, that's my take on it. It may not work at all, but in theory it should come close to it. If not then option three almost certainly will do it.
Have you tried the bungy cord steering method?
Not yet. I have the strings and bungees and blocks all set up somewhere but I forgot I'd done that until you reminded me. I guess I should try them first.
Definitely worth playing with the bungee method. Every boat is different. My paradox turned out to be excellent at self steering using lackeys only on any point of sail. One of the tricks to getting her steady down wind was to keep her a little under hull speed. Haven't sailed my new boat enough yet to know what she can do but I am hoping to avoid anything complicated. Back in my folkboat days a Navik did all the work for me reasonably effectively, but it was a complex thing with parts I could not easily repair and so was a source of worry. If the bungee method works for you, it really is much nicer than a vane just because it is so simple and easy on the budget.
A vane is just too much for a Scamp. But on a bigger boat, a well-set-up vane is a joy, representing the peak of human engineering.

I’ve gotten as far as buying the bungee cords.

Any trip longer than a couple of hours requires some effective self steering, if only so a coffee can be poured and a leak can be taken. Whatever works, works.
Before figuring out how to get my paradox sailing herself I simply loaded her up with a few weeks provisions and off we went. Once well out to sea necessity caused the self steering learning process to happen rapidly. Worst case scenario, one can always heave to for a breather.
There doesn't seem to me to be any good reason to not think about self steering while getting ready to put to sea. I've done enough heaving, too, to know that avoiding preparation is not the romantic scenario that books and movies would have us think.
My son went camping in the Grampians without adequate preparation. I had an 18 hour round trip yesterday to retrieve him and his vehicle, and his mate who he called first to rescue him, and his vehicle.
So he isn’t self-steering yet, eh Phil?
The young ones these days are a bit vane.
edit: sorry Bruce, I should leave the puns on the other thread. But it was just there.

The dog sitting is done and now I'm free to travel. Tuesday and Wednesday still look good for a first overnighter. I'll probably go to Port Vincent instead of Sheoak Flat to take a bit of shelter from a light/moderate SSW Tuesday night.
The batteries all seem to have come good. That's good. I'm taking three charged batteries for the VHF as I don't know how to rig up a charger from the boat. Got a new sleeping bag, and prepped the cooking gear and coffee maker.
When we used to cruise our Tumlare we fitted a tiller pilot. Had a small solar panel and a small car battery. We'd go to sleep as we passed the fairway beacon and wake up as we approached the Orontes bank. Sometimes I'd pop my head up for a look around along the way.
Tuesday and Wednesday are looking perfect. Broad reach both ways.
Write us a poem while your out there if you feel inclined.
Bruce, in my little sloop I have a deep cycle battery, charge it when I'm home, and have a little 200 watt inverter hooked up to it. It seems more than adequate to keep the VHF, Phone and Lappy charged up, I've been away for two weeks at a time and have yet to run the 80 amp hour battery flat.
As far as I can tell the only real needs are coffee, sleeping bag and something waterproof over the sleeping bag. So as usual I'm overkilling it.
If winter doesn't actually come, which looks likely, I may even get a two nighter in next week.
Winter? It's not even going to rain until mid May. And then only lightly.
Looking forward to the story...and the photos.
It might be a different story to the one I've planned. The wind came up to 19-23 knots this arvo despite an earlier forecast predicting less. Tomorrow and Wednesday may be similar and I don't really want to do a stress test in the middle of the gulf this early in the grand scheme. I may end up doing a local escape up into the Port River for a countery at a good pub and a camp out up in the Port. | 2019-04-22T15:02:11Z | http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?182771-Romana-de-Scamp-Voyages-and-Adventures&s=a63a636adf8b07e4ff1816c42440fe46&p=5869561 |
Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called BIELICKI live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called BIELICKI represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called BIELICKI in New York than any other state, but you are more likely to find a BIELICKI by picking someone at random in Delaware than anywhere else.
The following names have similar spellings or pronunciations as BIELICKI.
The following words are slight variants of BIELICKI that are likely to be possible typos or misspellings in written material. | 2019-04-20T07:12:28Z | http://americansurnames.us/surname/BIELICKI |

SCOTLAND’S most popular whisky is at the centre of furious row in Israel – over its kosher status.
The Chief Rabbinate – the supreme spiritual authority for Jews in Israel – has claimed that vast quantities of Johnnie Walker whisky in the country feature unauthorised kosher certifications.
Now the Jewish authority has warned followers that many bottles of the whisky – the most widely distributed brand of Scotch in the world – are off limits.
The kosher label on the Johnny Walker imported by Paneco. The firm insists it has done nothing wrong, despite criticism from the Jewish religious authorities in Israel.
Two companies are licensed to import Johnnie Walker Black Label from Scotland into Israel.
The Israel Beer Breweries Ltd Spirits (IBBLS) paid to have kosher inspectors fly to Scotland to verify that the production processes of their bottles are in line with kosher standards.
Rivals Paneco have not carried out their own checks but declare the whisky is kosher on their labels on the basis it is exactly the same product.
That has earned them the wrath of the Chief Rabbinate, who urged a boycott of Paneco-supplied Johnny Walker in stores, businesses and restaurants.
But the Paneco company have hit back at the Chief Rabbinate, saying that their product is the same as that inspected by IBBLS, and therefore should inherit the same kosher qualification.
A spokesman said: “All products sold on Paneco.com are completely and solely original.
The feud has caused confusion for whisky enthusiasts across the country, with reports that synagogues are still purchasing the unlicensed version and much confusion over whether the Johnnie Walker distilleries are kosher.
Many argue that whisky is always a kosher product, as it is made from grain rather than wine.
But many distilleries use wine or sherry casks to age their spirit, which can result in a non-kosher branding from the authorities.
The Chief Rabbinate is the office of spiritual authority for Judaism in Israel.
As well as covering kosher certification, the office holds jurisdiction over marriages, divorces and family matters.
Established in 1820 in Kilmarnock, the Johnnie Walker brand is one of Scotland’s most recognizable products, with 130 million bottles sold annually.
The brand is currently owned by drinks giant Diageo, and is currently thought to be worth around $5.3bn. | 2019-04-19T19:00:00Z | http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2015/08/19/johnny-walker-whisky-at-centre-of-furious-row-over-its-kosher-status/ |
As data privacy heats up on this side of the pond, last week the UK government announced a package of measures focused on extending the scope of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and strengthening the independence of the UK’s data protection and freedom of information regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
The anticipated Freedom Bill (to be published in February 2011) will include proposals to extend the scope of FOIA to a number of organisations for the first time. The Government announced the definite inclusion of the Financial Ombudsman Service and has proposed including The Advertising Standards Authority, The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, The Law Society, Bar Council and other approved regulators under the Legal Services Act 2007, subject to consultation.

Convert your roof space into a proper storage area. If your house is crying out for more storage and you just can't find the space, then an attic conversion is exactly what you need. We have several options when it comes to attic storage depending on your requirements and budget: Basic, Dustproof and Deluxe.
Suitable for most roof types, basic storage will consist of a pull down attic ladder and approximately 20 square meters of structural chipboard flooring.
Basic storage attics are perfect for storing the bulky item such as Christmas trees, bulky suitcases and storage boxes.
Council approval isn't necessary so the process is quick and easy. The basic storage option is a quick and cost effective fix to all your storage problems!
Prices start from $2,500 depending on project specifications.
If you are wanting to store items of value or just want to keep your items in tip top shape then the dust proof storage option is the way to go.
This option is definitely more suited to an older style cut roof as the dust proof membrane will fix to the under side of the rafters and be fully sealed.
With a pull down ladder and around 20 to 25 square meters of structural chipboard flooring, this option will give you ample space to store those items you might otherwise have had to put into paid storage. We can customize a dustproof storage solution to suit your needs with options like lighting, whirlybirds and skylights.
No council approvals are needed for Dustproof Storage Attics and our qualified tradespeople can complete this option in 3 days.
Prices start from $5,000 depending on project specifications.
This option is suited to terrace houses, Californian bungalows or larger free standing homes with structural internal framing.
This space can be used as an office, a study or just that extra little cosy hideaway. With lighting, insulation, plaster and paint this option creates a room where you never thought possible.
The addition of VELUX skylights and roof windows for light and ventilation helps control the climate. They can be operated manually, solar or mains power. A Deluxe Storage Attic will definitely add value to your home!
A site inspection is required to determine if council approval is required for this option. Prices for Deluxe Storage Attics start from $30,000 depending on project specifications.
We work efficiently! With quick turnaround times our qualified tradesman can be in and out in 3 days for basic storage and 4 days for dust proof storage, our deluxe storage option will take 3- 4 weeks to completion.
No fuss or mess! Generally we can enter your roof from the exterior meaning the disturbance to you and your family is minimal and we guarantee the site will be left spotlessly clean.
If you need to de-clutter and add value to your home then a storage attic is the perfect solution.

I'm writing regarding “Production Music Libraries” (September 2001 issue). As the article began, “When Mix looked at production libraries two years ago,” I suddenly remembered that I meant to write to you then.
What possesses you, as purveyors of information on the production of music, to promote, glorify or even discuss the concept of prerecorded, i.e., canned music? The argument you used back then was that the use of this “music” saves time and expense in the studio for producers. Excuse me? I thought the idea of having a studio was to capture and create music ourselves, not just paste together generic chunks that someone else did.
You need to teach people the value of making sounds and music that solve the unique problems of each project. You need to honor the talent of a composer and challenge the skills of the studio engineer to bring the best and appropriate sounds to our ears.
At a time when studio bookings are decreasing and customers are already discovering that they, too, can paste together CD-quality sound on their own home computers, don't you think this is the time to promote the special, important features of professional recording in professional settings?
Eddie Ciletti's recent “Which Witch” article in the September issue was very informative and provocative! I have only one thing to add: The thing that gets me every time about antique/vintage/stone-age tech, and/or the “Macrobionic” designs (and that could represent two soup cans and a string!) is not the way they sound, so much as the way they make you produce music. These items are very limiting. This can be really positive toward the outcome of the finished recording.
Let me set up a scenario for you: Your studio for a new project consists of piles of old German mics and 10 or so SM58s, an old drum kit, a bad upright piano and a '70s Twin. You've got two limiters, a plate reverb and some EQ, an old 8-track deck and a 16-track console.
First off, there is no way you can even contemplate working with talent that isn't extremely talented. Second, what the band sounds like is what you get. You can't fix it later, so they have to get it right. Little mistakes get left in. I mean, you give a guy Pro Tools to futz with and — unless he's working with Beck or Ween, who are really making fun of all the new, meaningless choices — he will waste time tweaking stuff that isn't worth tweaking.
I think what people frequently mean when they say “warmth” is actually “human”; that is, lots of mistakes.
I appreciated Paul D. Lehrman's commentary (“It's Still Rotten Sound to Me,” July issue) on the generally poor state of streaming audio on the Internet. It is true that the vast majority of online stations have horrible audio quality and that most of the Internet-only stations have no personality and worse programming.
However, I feel compelled to point out that not all is doom and gloom on the Internet audio front. Shoutcast (www.shoutcast.com) is notable in allowing people to create their own self-programmed stations and stream them (fairly reliably) at multiple bit rates to thousands of listeners. I've never had any problems connecting to a station there because of too many subscribers, and they stream in standard MP3 format that any computer should be able to handle. Many of the stations stream at speeds of up to 128 kbps, and some go even higher.
One in particular that is worthy of mention is Radio Paradise (www.radioparadise.com), which is self-described as “eclectic, intelligent rock.” Every hour of the day is uniquely programmed by a DJ who left the regular radio business because of the stifling nature of the business, and it's a treat to spend my working hours listening to everything from Ani DiFranco to XTC to Josh Joplin and everything in between. Remarkably, it's being supported by listener's donations and by money from listeners' CDNow purchases. In addition, the Radio Paradise Website has a thriving community of commentary and ratings based around a constantly updated playlist. Try it, you'll be surprised by how good it is.
I look forward each month to Mix for its industry insights, gear reviews and bleeding-edge technological coverage. The editorials can be fun too, even if my opinion or experience with gear is contrary to the writer's. What I don't like is when someone strays from his area of expertise and offers ill-informed, misleading opinions on things he is clearly unqualified to talk about.
A case in point is Paul D. Lehrman's “Insider Audio” column. On more than one occasion, he has used his editorial position to espouse his left-wing liberal agenda. In July's issue, he was doing fine discussing the problems with streaming audio until he ventured into the politics of the industry's struggle to increase bandwidth. I will gladly bow to his expertise in the technology, but I'm not interested in his political views. For him to assume he understands enough about the cause-and-effect relationships in economics to account for the impediments to progress in this field is arrogant at best. Economists from varied schools of thought make it their business to analyze policies and regulations that lead to “monopolies” and other stifling industry practices. (And few would be in agreement with Lehrman's assessment.) But they spare us their non-expert opinions about audio technology.
I'd be happy to discuss and debate these issues with Mr. Lehrman, but I don't think Mix is the appropriate forum. Nor do I think it's very professional for the magazine to give him that much latitude.
Although we are technical people, we don't operate in a political or moral vacuum. Economics and politics infuse all that we do professionally, and as creators and purveyors of entertainment and marketing messages, what we do makes an impact in those spheres. For you to disagree with my views is healthy. For us to ignore the realities of the world we operate in is not. | 2019-04-26T05:43:01Z | https://www.mixonline.com/recording/letters-mix-372610 |

What are storybook quilts and why are they so special? Let’s take a step back first and talk about quilts and books. They both things that are placed on laps. Both have a way of transporting us, as if by magical flight, to places of memory or imagination. Both are filled with memories of home — the fabric of our lives.
Memories of summer evenings spent eating ice cream and pretending she was at a beach instead of a rooftop inspired quilt artist Faith Ringgold to add words and illustrations of her story-art quilts to create her first children’s picture book, Tar Beach. Since then — for nearly two decades — children’s books with quilts and quilters have flourished. One of the best known books — even to non-quilters — is The Quiltmaker’s Gift, in which a king needs to give away his possessions in order to obtain the one thing he desires the most: a quilt. It’s a lesson in giving.
For one group of quilters, a collection of quilts to go along with beloved books — and their quilted bags — has been a gift to a community, one that can touch anyone who holds a library card. It’s a gift from the quilters that grew for more than a decade.
Over 10 years ago the TriCounty Quilters, inspired by a guild member’s idea to make storybook quilts — small quilts to go along with children’s picture books with stories based on quilts — decided to give the collection to a library.
“I had thought of quilts as only related to a bedtime story. You aren’t just holding a quilt. Children — and everyone — experience these quilts,” says Kay Howard, the children’s librarian/curator of quilts and books that travel throughout Western Pennsylvania to educate the public about quilts — and so much more.
Initially, the librarian had reservations about taking storybook quilts on the road. “After all, what if a quilt has an encounter with chocolate ice cream? I was told, ‘They wash,'” she says.
The storybook quilts project started in 2002 when guild member Nancy Forsythe read a quilt-magazine article about making quilts for children’s picture books. She took the storybook quilts idea to her guild, the Tri-County Quilters. The group of about 25 women, representing the sparsely populated Western Pennsylvania counties of Beaver, Butler and Lawrence, embraced the project.
Guild members felt it would be an interesting challenge to their creativity. Some of the storybook quilts came from published patterns, The Quiltmaker’s Gift had its own line of fabric, but most books, only offered illustrations.
“In some of the books, you didn’t even have the entire quilt pictured,” says Sue Mallen, former president of the Tri-County Quilters. “The challenge was to work from a picture, when you don’t have a pattern,” said Mallen, who did online research on picture book quilts to get ideas for the Hawaiian-inspired quilt she created.
The storybook quilts are stored each in its own portable, pieced bag along with the children’s picture book that inspired the quilt, ready to be checked out to individuals or groups ranging from preschools to senior centers. There is no requirement, except possession of a library card.
“We want children to know that you don’t go to the grocery store and buy a quilt. A quilt may be made by your grandmother, and it is a work of art,” says librarian Howard, now a quilt enthusiast.
Each quilt has a story about the special ways it has been used. For instance, high school art teachers use the storybook to teach fabric art. “Most high school art teachers aren’t quilters,” explains Mallen. Spanish teachers use the quilts in connection with books that teach Spanish words. There are books and quilts that teach Hawaiian and Native American words and culture. Middle grade history teachers use Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt to teach about the Underground Railroad; The Log Cabin Quilt teaches about a pioneer family in the Midwest and their efforts to create a home.
One of the librarian’s favorite experiences was an afternoon of reading and reminiscing when a senior-citizens group came to the library for a program. It wasn’t just to see the storybook quilts. Howard read the books aloud to the group.
“They enjoyed the storybooks, and they told stories, sat and listened to everyone talk. It was wonderful,” says Howard.

The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in the outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows on both sides of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy in a rollover or a moderate-to-severe side impact.
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is about to rollover, it immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt tensioners.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the passenger’s side curtain airbag deploys even if there is no passenger in the passenger seat.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars as they can interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
One or both side curtain airbags may also inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled frontal collision. | 2019-04-22T17:06:40Z | http://www.hocivic.com/side_curtain_airbags-23.html |

Two years ago Caridad Center started a mental health counseling program to address the needs of its patients. Volunteer Psychiatrist Dr. Vincent Abad oversees the program that provides bi-weekly individual counseling sessions on Mondays and group counseling. The Magnolias is a support group for women who have experienced violence and loss. “These women have suffered from physical and mental abuse, loss of family, and many have a deep sadness from missing their homeland. The women find comfort and strength in sharing their common experiences with group members and they are grateful for the support provided by our volunteer counselors”, said group coordinator Brenda Lopez. To express their appreciation to Caridad, members of The Magnolias created a painting which we are proud to display at Caridad Center. | 2019-04-20T05:11:28Z | https://caridad.org/2019/03/16/mental-health-counseling-program-magnolias/ |

Whether or not you enjoy doing laundry, you have to admit, it can be exhausting. The last thing you want is to find you've run of detergent after you've sorted and put in a load. Don’t lose hope. Quickly skim through your pantry and look for any of these substitutes that can help you get through a laundry emergency.
Making an alternative detergent requires a little work but once you’ve made it, you might not buy detergent again. All you need is baking soda, a bar of soap, and essential oil for scent. First, turn your baking soda into washing soda by putting it in the oven (click here for a quick step-by-step guide). After you’ve made your washing soda, mix it with your grated bar of soap and essential oils. That’s it! The best part is it's chemical-free!
Believe it or not, the best replacement for fabric softener is distilled vinegar. Vinegar is actually a natural softener so adding ¼ of a cup into your cycle will soften your clothes perfectly. If you’re worried your clothes will start smelling like a favorite Pinoy dipping sauce, adding a few drops of essentials oils will easily put out the smell. You can also visit your bathroom and borrow some conditioner to add to the mix as an added softener. If vinegar is all you’ve got, it will do the trick.
As for bleach, you need to find your first-aid kit and grab some hydrogen peroxide. Mix that with lemon juice, baking soda, and water, then voila—you’ve got homemade bleach. Add in some lemon essential oil to strengthen the spot cleaning action of your mixture.
If you use a dryer, simply dabbing on apple cider vinegar to a damp cloth and adding it to your load will soften your clothes and eliminate any static. Those looking for a simple static reducer can also crumple up sheets of aluminum foil into a ball then throw it in the dryer. | 2019-04-26T00:18:25Z | https://www.realliving.com.ph/cleaning-organizing/home-care/laundry-substitutes-you-can-find-in-your-home-a27-20180718 |
Don’t get caught out with incorrect details in the ATO Clearing House.
The ATO clearing house for processing Superannuation for your employees is a simple and effective solution which is super stream compliant for employers with less than 19 employees.
However, employers need to be sure each time they submit a payment – that the employee’s details are set up correctly. If the details are not correct, for instance if the employee has changed funds, the super fund will reject the payment and send it back to the Clearing House.
If the payment is returned the ATO Clearing House will contact you and ask that the correct details be updated within 7 days.
If you fail to update within the 7 days the payment will be sent back to the employer’s bank account nominated by the employer when the Clearing House was set up.
Of course this can raise compliance issues as to whether the payment of superannuation was paid by the due date for Superannuation Guarantee.
Another common error is when making payments the amount needs to match exactly the total amount that has been submitted on the payment Instruction. If the amount received by the ATO clearing house differs in any way to the amount submitted it will be automatically refunded to the nominated bank account. If the employer doesn’t respond in time and re-submit, the total payment for the quarter could fail.
The best practice is to make sure when you submit the Payment Instruction that the details are correct. Employers who have their BAS or Tax Agents attend to the submission for them should make sure they communicate any changes of funds or details to their agent so that the details can be updated and avoid the problems associated with having the incorrect details. | 2019-04-20T00:40:20Z | https://listermason.com.au/superannuation-clearing-house/ |

Social Media Housekeeping, and How Can I Work 4 Hours a Week?
Firstly, when I meet blog readers, I often ask for feedback, to me the constant feedback reinforces what I’m doing right, and what I can improve and grow on. Today, one reader suggested that I make sure to close the feedback loop when it comes to comments. While we both agreed that it’s impossible for me to respond to each comment, I want you to all know that I read each and every comment. Why? it makes me smarter around topics that I’ve initiated, so thank you all for that. If you can’t tell, I try really hard to listen, I just can’t always respond to all messages.
Secondly, I won’t be adding many new followers on Twitter. I’ve noticed a massive influx of new Twitter users (perhaps due to SXSW) and will no longer be following those who are following me. I can’t click on that many emails, and It’s not offering me any additional value as my message stream is already very large. It matters little as you can still @jowyang and I’ll see your message. Sam Lawrence did analysis on my Twitter behavior (even on a Sunday) and noticed that about half of my tweets are @replying to others.
The trend here is that I’m having a hard time scaling, but I’ve nearly completed my clone in my bio-vat in the garage, so there will be another Jeremiah appearing soon, well, I wish. I’m trying ways to stay efficient, I’ve reduced the amount of time I spend answering non-essential email, and downloaded Xobni with limited satisfaction.
At some point, I may have to follow Tim Ferris’s advice (although I’m a big skeptic) and start outsourcing some of my life, see his video. I’d start with email, then editing some of my reports for grammar. | 2019-04-21T08:55:19Z | https://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2008/03/31/housekeeping/ |
Most Victorians live, work and play close to the coast. It is also home to critical infrastructure, important economic hubs and many significant ecosystems.
The purpose of this study is to identify, characterize and quantify the "market" and "non-market" (commercial and non-commercial) value of the natural resources of the Victorian coast. The results from this study are intended to assist in policy development and decision-making that takes into account the both commercial and ecosystem service values and the interdependency of economic benefits and the health of coastal ecosystems. | 2019-04-24T08:55:13Z | http://inform.regionalaustralia.org.au/envionment-and-energy/environmental-management/item/assessing-the-value-of-coastal-resources-in-victoria?category_id=533 |

Thank you for your generosity in the past!
From $18,000 in community and runner donations received between 2015-2018, community and student volunteers were able to purchase the wood and hardware that allowed us to construct two major bridges which allow students and athletes access to the 200 acres and two miles trails of on school property on the west side of the river.
Previously, this land had been accessible only by fording the 15 foot wide river or crossing on questionable and rickety bridges made from fallen trees and scrap wood materials. Now the bridges are strong enough to hold the entire cross country team! The bridges are 6 feet wide — wide enough to allow an off road utility vehicle to cross over for emergency access.
We are looking to continue the improvements to the John Jay Community Trail through the winter and spring of 2019 to get the trail prepared for the second annual John Jay Community Trail Race on Sunday April 7, 2019.
a third major 25′ span bridge fording the ravine between the middle school and the Meadows which will allow for a final finish to the 5k cross country race course.
Cost estimates for purchasing the wood and hardware needed for these two goals is $15,000. We have already raised $3,000 of that through generous donations and we are looking to close the gap.
Please consider donating to the John Jay Boosters Club via the JJ Trail donation page to support the continued work on the John Jay Community Trail. Your donations via this linked page will go directly to JJ Community Trail improvements.
We also encourage everyone to support the John Jay Boosters Club by becoming members of this non-profit group dedicated to improving the health and sports lives of our John Jay students.
We are looking to continue the momentum towards completing the 5K course for the JJXC team to be able to hold cross country meets on it this coming season. To do that we still need your help to FUND THE FINISH LINE! | 2019-04-21T20:06:29Z | http://www.jjtrail.org/2018/11/donations-for-trail-building-open/ |
Our Cuenca city tour this morning starts at the Modern Art Museum. The current art show is not to everyone’s taste but the building, courtyards and gardens are attractive. After our visit we walk through the city streets to arrive at the central covered market. It is busy here. There are vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, cheeses, chocolate (of course) and much more. A whole section of the market is devoted to herbs for medicinal purposes. On a Tuesday and Thursday a few local elders carry out a cleansing and healing ritual in a shaman-like way. Sadly for Richard today is Tuesday! Our guides ask if anyone may be interested in participating. Naturally no one steps forward. Eventually Richard volunteers (and this is definitely for the first time, not an annual event). What follows amuses both our tour guests and the many locals who watch closely to see if Richard survives. Firstly some herbal water is poured over what can only be described as a bunch of grasses and herbs. These are pushed into Richard’s face presumably to inhale the aroma and for relaxation purposes. The same bunch of grass is then used to thrash the evil spirits out of his body. In no time at all his shirt is lifted and his trouser legs pulled up. Various herbal concoctions are then poured into his hair. An egg then makes an appearance! This is pushed into his forehead although fortunately it doesn’t crack (the egg, not Richard’s head). Spitting comes next (by the elder, not Richard). The egg is then cracked into a glass and the elder reads the glass (rather like reading the tea leaves?). The diagnosis follows: Richard is stressed! Ho Ho. Apparently he needs three more cleansing sessions and all will be OK. He makes a quick exit.
From the excitement of the central market we continue our walk via the flower market and on to the Cathedral and Independence Square. Our coaches meet us here and we head for the Homero Ortega Panama Hat Company. We enjoy an interpretation about the manufacture of the Ecuadorian Straw Hat and we end up in a shop. Numerous hats are tried and purchased and, naturally, it takes ages to get everyone out of the shop. Our last stop of the tour is Turi Hill, a natural viewpoint over the whole city. The weather is stunning, clear skies, sunny and warm so the view today is particularly wonderful. A few yards from the top of Turi Hill is situated the gallery of a famous Ecuadorian ceramics artist, Eduardo Vega. This proves another popular stop (or should we say, shop). Suffice to say our transport back to the hotel is loaded with Panama Hat boxes and ceramics! | 2019-04-19T22:42:59Z | https://furlongs.co.uk/blog/tour-leader-stressed |
There are loads of opinion polls asking people who they will vote for, but who do we think will win.
I'm half expecting to see a Labour minority government which will horse-trade rather than enter coalition.
Not sure what to make of the polls and I'm not inclined to be steered by any of the mainstream media.
I think the Ed Miliband visiting Russell Brand is interesting, and Cameron describing it as a 'joke' probably/potentially foolish.
I am also thinking that it might be a labour minority.
I thought Ed Miliband's decision to meet Russell Brand was odd. I don't think Ed trying to sound street did him any favours.
One area where I think Ed has been let off lightly is over Europe.
Farage wants to leave the EU.
Cameron wants to stay in the EU, but has promised a referendum.
Miliband wants to stay in the EU, but won't offer a referendum because he doesn't trust the public to make the right decision.
Ed's stance seems dangerous at a time when he is asking for votes, but the media don't seem to have challenged him over it.
I really don't know of more than a handful of people taking Russell Brand seriously except chem-trailers, lazy journos wanting a story about yet another controversy, or politicians who've run out of hoodies to hug or Arctic Monkeys to endorse, and so have alighted on another popular media construct.
His online presence is clearly popular - but then again, so are a lot of other eccentrics and conspiracy/nut job sites. I'm not saying that he hasn't managed to articulate a certain amount of things which many of us have felt at one time or another (and with the odd chuckle thrown in) but the main difference I see is that he's done it with a blend of made up words nestling amongst the unnecessary verbiage - and a guaranteed level of interest from a media with a prurient interest in where he's poked his winkle or who's grandpa he's upset this week.
However entertaining his playing the media pedagogue, it clearly doesn't mean he's got any viable alternative. Instead, in my view, his blend of mysticism and hypocrisy (the anti capitalist stand up comedian millionaire hare krishna?!) shows that he risks looking as venal as the system which both made him and which he criticises.
What really distinguishes him to me is a towering ego and self-regard which is very much the superior of any of the party leaders. Not really a model for any kind of philosophy or ideology I'd like to endorse. Which makes Milliband's cozying to him all the more simultaneously bizarre and revealing.
He's right to point out the cynicism which people have for politicians and political discourse. But its ironic that in my case, he's made it 100% deeper.
And yet, despite the hoo-ah, a lot of what he says is in defence of those with less of everything than he has.
I suspect that Ed Millibands dealing with him went something like this.
Russell Brand:Hi Ed, you know I am sup[porting you, shall we meet and do an interview.
Ed: "OK, I think that might be a good idea" (and it has been, it's been all over the media) but where will we go, would we get studio time at this late date??
why don't you just come over?, Half an hour should be long enough"
Ed: "Good idea, Thank you, see you then!"
My problem with all of them is the amount of times they use the word 'I'. I thought government and party was about collective responsibility, it makes them sound like they all have huge egos and a bit scary.
Interesting article on the BBC about the increase in the number of unopposed candidates in local elections.
In Eden District Council in Cumbria, 21 out of 38 councillors will be returned unopposed on 7 May.
Well overall election result was a surprise, didn't expect any party to come close to a majority.
Swindon less surprising. Especially Swindon South, frankly Labour deserved to lose after choosing flipping Snellgrove as the candidate.
Inclined to agree with you there Gorgon. Not that I had anything against her, but I haven't really heard a good word for her either.
Same with Ed, couldn't help thinking that even of the party thought he was brilliant top chap and all that, it doesn't really matter what they think does it, it what Joe public thinks that gets them in.
Still not looking forward to the next 5 years, but as I said to Mr Muggins this morning, by the next time we have a general election it won't matter much to me or him.
He said we were Ok, but he pitied the others on the bread line, then I pointed out to him that if anything happened to him, I'd be one of 'em, because we are living on his pension, mine is a joke, seeing as how I hardly worked - sorry, had paid work, for most of our married life.
Ah well, (sigh) I suppose I deserve to be poor seeing as how I didn't. Being a full time volunteer don't get you a pension or even the respect you'd expect.
Feeling VERY gloomy today. Not that things might have been any better under anyone else but at least we had hope - we have none now.
Looks like we'll be scraping our way to the grave and having to worry about health and welfare care too.
Avenger, I agree with a lot of what you say.
On paper the Tories have done better than they did in 2010 as they now have a small majority. In practice, the new government feels weaker. Between them the Tory-Lib Dem coalition had a decent majority. On there own the Tory majority is very vulnerable.
The divide between England/Scotland and potentially UK/EU is getting wider and is a major distraction to running the country. Cameron will be constantly looking over his shoulder.
Personally, I think Cameron was the best option available, but he has a really tough task ahead. I am not overly confident about the future, but I really feel that Ed Miliband would have been a disaster.
The collapse of Labour making England more Tory plays even more into the hands of the Scottish Nats. People may laugh at me for saying this but I think Labour have a very serious existential threat on their hands. They as a party have lost touch with the working class and their core vote. They have already lost Scotland and they are in danger of losing their Seats in Northern England if they don't reinvent themselves in the right way. The rise of UKIP in the the North of England in labour heartland I think is one of the most interesting recent political developments. Whether you agree with UKIP or not they are offering policies that have struck a chord with the concerns of working class people - uncontrolled immigration, wage compression, pressure on public services. Tony Benn, argued very cogently that the common market as it was called then was an undemocratic institution and as a democratic socialist he was opposed to Britains membership. Tony Benn would say that modern labour has lost its way and understanding of its founding principles. If Labour want to become a force again they need to get back in touch with their founding principles which are solid and apply them to the issues working people have today.
My own recommendation for labour is to reverse their policy on EU membership. Right wing parties like UKIP have a toxicity when it comes to issues like NHS and immigration but Labour would be able to tackle the immigration issue without the toxicity.
If Labour want to become a force again they need to get back in touch with their founding principles which are solid and apply them to the issues working people have today.
I think the key word there is 'working'. Labour have become the party of the non-working classes. The working classes can relate to UKIP.
This will be a tough few years for the Tories, but if they can weather those we could have a Tory government for many years. I remember thinking that winning the 2010 election was potentially a poison chalice. Whoever won was going to struggle to remain popular in times of austerity. The incumbent was always going to be in the firing line which is why I think Cameron was smart to avoid the head to head to debates. The global economy should have recovered by 2020, so that election should be easier for the Tories.
This time round Cameron has been trying to convince people that his policies are starting to work. In five years time, his successor should be bragging about how they have worked.
I liken the last few years of government with the fortunes of Man Utd. Tony Blair and Alex Ferguson both enjoyed lengthy periods of success, but knew when to quit. Gordon Brown and David Moyes were lambs to the slaughter. David Cameron and Louis Van Gaal aren't the finished article but can at least claim to be moving in the right direction. The next five years is about a steady recovery and handing a winning team to Boris and Ryan Giggs.
While the overall outcome in Swindon South and North wasn't really a surprise to me, I was surprised by the way that both candidates increased their majority.
Since the election, and following previous elections, many people complain that this government didn't get elected by a majority of the people. However this argument sidesteps the point that we don't vote for a government, a party or the prime minister.
Unless you live in the Witney constituency, you were't offered a chance to vote for David Cameron.
The local candidate gaining the most votes becomes our MP whose role is to represent the constituents in parliament. We, the public, need to remind ourselves of this, but MPs would be wise never to forget this. If we all keep this at the forefront of our mind, MPs will be forced to do the same.
I would hope that MPs will actively demonstrate that they represent, to the best of their ability, the diverse split of opinion in their constituency and not simply the views of their supporters or their party.
I didn't vote for Anne Snelgrove as I still recall all to well how her approach to being an MP was at odds with my views as stated above. In my opinion, rather than act to represent us, she considered herself to be her party's representative in Swindon. She paid the price for this in 2010 and in the recent campaign she failed to demonstrate to me that she had learned that lesson.
I'm not suggesting that this can be taken to the extreme whereby we have 650 MPs all acting in their own local interest as MPs do need to work together in order to any decisions to be taken. The key issue though is that, first and foremost, MPs need to reflect on how those decisions affect their constituency and if that is deemed to be a negative impact, it's a vital part of their job that they explain themselves to their constituents at that time.
In terms of this election result, I think that we are seeing is a sign of a country that is beginning to fragment, currently this is most pronounced with the voting patterns of England and Scotland, though people shouldn't assume that a vote for the SNP is a vote for Scottish Independence.
My own view on this is that I would have not have supported any government that relied on MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in order to get English only legislation through parliament. To me it beggars belief that MPs, who have no accountability to English voters, should be given a say on English matters. Especially when you consider that, due to devolution, those same MPs have absolutely no say in deciding those same issues in their own constituency.
Many questions are being asked now about what David Cameron will do about Scotland, but at the same time he is being criticised for making statements about English Votes for English Laws. It seems that some people see this as being nationalistic language which could bring about the break up of the UK. I don't really get the later argument.
Nationalistic sentiment already existed in Scotland and Wales and this drove the devolution debates of the 1990s. What these debates overlooked, and our own MPs failed us all on, was how the move to devolution in some parts of the UK effectively watered down democracy in England.
As such I think David Cameron is heading along the right path. If he gets this right, the UK can remain in tact, but with a more federal form of governance on those issues that have been devolved. It may be that a Scottish/Welsh or N.I. government that is accountable for raising the taxes which it then spends, may cause public opinion to shift again and help to cement the benefits of being in the UK.
Any Prime Minister, of any party, could have addressed this before now and, no matter what the outcome of this election, would still have faced this issue.
From my perspective I can't remember any previous general election campaigns which were prosecuted using so many deliberately hate fuelling and divisive stratagems. On the plus side though, UKIPs' anti-immigrant, anti Europe, anti any-bloody-difference at all xenophobic hysteria didn't do much except possibly bolstering conservative votes. (I don't have any psephology to back that up).
I was quite pleased to see the Pinnochio Party pruned, Ed 'Blinky' Balls booted out and Esther McWosserface lobbed out by the Scouses (geddit?), but very disappointed that the Green surge hasn't yet turned into a Green carpet. With PR the result would have been very different for the Greens, (as it would have for UKIP and the Lib Dems), but while our antiquated FPTP electoral system continues to return majority governments neither of the two big political parties are ever going to seriously consider change. Perhaps that would happen after several hung Parliaments, so that won't happen in my lifetime.
I think 'Blue' Labour has proven itself to be an abject failure which has left many Labour voters thinking 'WTF?' and nowhere is this more obvious than in Scotland which now has just one Labour MP, with 56 out of 59 MP's now being members of the Scottish National Party. The Tories and Lib Dems are left with one Scottish seat each.
Interestingly, London now has a significant majority of Labour seats (45 out of 73) with the Lib Dems holding just one seat in the capital.
A pox on (most) of their houses!
Looking impartially at the result, locally both the best candidates won. When Tomlinson and Dempsey were on the Sunday Politics a few months ago Tomlinson was by a long way the better performer.
As far as South Swindon goes, Snelgrove was just the wrong choice of candidate, especially up against Buckland who is a very good constituency MP.
Nationally, the Tories played a blinder. I firmly believe that they frightened the electorate with their vote Millibean get Sturgeon, who lets face it is far more left wing.
Several people I know and like, know and like Anne Snelgrove - but to date, she's been unable to transfer that anecdotal reputation into the public persona I've seen. Buckland on the other hand has an excellent reputation with the people I've put in touch with him in connection with unresolved Regents Circus issues. When ever I've spoken to him - evena bout subjects on whicch our opinions differ, he has been attentive, respectful and polite. As Alligator said, there are a bunch of us who sadly can't report the same sense from our interactions with Anne.
Once again, and after looking at the utterly predictable and truly dismal performance of labour in Devizes, I cannot understand why the party didn't make the intelligent common-sense decision to select Chris Watts as the candidate for South Swindon.
Again, the electioneering scaremongering of campaigning locally on 'saving the NHS' when we have so many health workers living here who experienced her party's 'reforms' might also explain the wall she hit.
Did any of you hear about her undignified spat with Buckland after her weird electioneering speech after the result? Very odd behaviour.
I'm really confused by that statement Geoff, given that you've previously expressed some cogent and informed opinions about the functioning of our economy. You are aware that the Greens are trying to simultaneously argue for an end to austerity AND a zero growth economy AND massive extra expenditure on public services - whilst at the same time leaving the EU and levying huge taxation on imports?! No one's seriously proposing that their policies would do anything except create Zimbabwean levels of inflation and a mass exodus of talent are they?
I'm all for the Greens having presence because of their environmental lobbying power, but I'd no sooner see them get any real power into their hands than I would UKIP.
You do realise that The Greens have stated that they will introduce huge levvies on imported goods - meaning that leaving the EU would be a certainty under a Green government...?
How anybody can think the Greens are credible with their policy manifesto is beyond me - and goes to show it takes all sorts to make a world. I for one want to leave the EU in its current format because it is an undemocratic organisation and when you think of the long struggle to extend the democratic franchise in these islands I am always stunned how blasé and relaxed many British people seem to be about our current membership of the EU where only unelected politicians (commissioners) are allowed to make laws. In any case even someone without an economics degree knows that if you put a tariff on imports from another country that country is likely to reciprocate and that a free trade deal is always the preferred option.
Sadly I am less than optimistic about Britains future. I deliberately remove Great because until we become a self-governing nation again and stop this endless lack of national self-confidence our decline will continue unabated.
The only way to significantly reduce CO2 emissions is a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Green policies would require more austerity not less.
Membership of the EU offers the best chance of a green economy. Green policies place a restriction on company performance. If we are part of the EU with similar restrictions placed on competitors we have a level playing field. If we had stricter rules in the UK than elsewhere we instantly become uncompetitive.
The corporate world would happily ignore the environment in favour of profit. Introducing an EU wide rule creates a level playing field, Having a pro-green UK government would distort the playing field and screw the UK economy.
I voted for the more positive option.
I think a lot of working people also took this option. | 2019-04-23T06:27:38Z | http://www.talkswindon.org/index.php/topic,10042.0.html |

Purple leaf Berberis is compact, dense, prickly variety and great security defense. Purple Berberis has reddish - purple deciduous leaves turning bright red in autumn. The Berberis stems bear sharp spines and the wood inside the stem is yellow in colour. Flowers are pale yellow, flushed red in spring with vivid red berries in autumn. This Purple Berberis is ideal for ushering in colour for the spring to informal borders. Berberis is again the best natural security barrier as its sharp spikes will keep intruders and unwanted visitors away.
Plant full sun to dappled shade, well-draining soil. Water well for the first year to establish the plants. Plant 3-4 per metre for single row hedge, or 5-7 for double staggered row denser hedge. | 2019-04-24T04:54:22Z | https://www.scotplantsdirect.co.uk/hedging/bare-root-hedge/berberis-hedging-barberry-plants/atropurpurea-purple-30-40cm.html |

Could repair or re-stubbing of journals be all you need to fix your roll or cylinder?
Over time, journal diameters can wear and cause a reduction in production quality and efficiency.
Sometimes production rolls or print cylinders require complete reconditioning, but sometimes a simple repair to the journal, or a re-stubbing of journals may be all it takes to keep your production line running effectively.
The cost of repairing a journal, versus replacing or reconditioning an entire roll or cylinder equals reduced maintenance costs.
Replacing and repairing journals has been an important part of how we save money for our customers every day.
Let HFW help you find ways to minimize your repair costs, while maximizing production! | 2019-04-25T15:59:19Z | http://www.hfwindustries.com/blog/2011/05/repair-or-re-stubbing-of-journals-may-all-that-is-need-to-fix-your-roll-or-cylinder/ |

Enter into an exploration of C.G. Jung’s personal transformation as recorded in the Red Book and viewed from Buddhist perspectives.
To learn what the Red Book may mean to us know, the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, together with the Institute of Buddhist Studies in Berkeley, hosted a series of “Red Book Dialogue†between Jungian Analysts and leading teachers, writers, and artists. These conversations, brought together people who have challenged themselves to engage with their own depths, are designed to appeal to people both in and out of the psychological professions. In this way, the meaning of Jung’s journey can come to life in each of us.
Our second dialogue, between Jack Kornfield of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and Dyane Sherwood, analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, was held at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco on November 12, 2010.

Hey Coffeeholics! Let's make this year the best year ever by being involved in something bigger .. something better! Last 2013 proved to be a very challenging year for the Philippines. But through the difficulties and calamities, we showed extreme resilience and strength, which was witnessed and admired by the world over. As we face 2014, Krem-Top wishes to encourage every Filipino to create greater and more postive changes in their lives. Together, let us all strive for a better Pilipinas.
How can we make a change? It can be big or small. It can start right here at your own home, school, or in a far away place. I mean who doesn't want a better country right? We can start making a change through small things like proper waste disposal. Honestly I find it so irritating when I see people just throw trash out the window while commuting. Its these kinds of waste which causes clutter and stoppage in our drainage and flooding in our streets. I'm making it a resolve to throw my waste/.trash properly. Its a small thing to do but if it can help make a better Pinas why not diba?
To reach my quota sales!
I want to be fit by working out and following a healthy diet.

The chronological resume is most suitable for junior to mid-level job seekers who wish to change jobs or industries. It's the most traditional style resume and suits those who may have had multiple roles in the same organisation, as well anyone with just a few jobs to list in their career history. The benefit of a chronological style resume is that employers can see your work experience to date at a quick glance.
This optional section may be used to give a sense of your personality or interests. This is especially useful if your interests align in some way with the industry, business or role you’re applying for.

Official Australian travel advice warning of "polar bear attacks" in Norway has been mocked by the Scandinavian country's Foreign Ministry in online posts.
Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs took to Twitter to poke fun at a Smartraveller update which suggested Aussie tourists could be hurt by the animals.
Earlier this week, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) had posted updates to its Smartraveller Facebook and Twitter accounts which advised tourists heading to Norway to "avoid polar bear attacks" by reading the official travel advice.
A DFAT spokesperson said no changes have been made to the Smartraveller advice relating to mainland Norway. | 2019-04-18T14:19:08Z | http://onthenewsnow.com/news/norway-pokes-fun-at-australias-travel-warning-of-polar-bear-attacks-on-tourists/ |

Xenoestrogens – The Root Cause Of Your Hormonal Imbalance?
Hormonal discussions are always a hot topic. It’s no wonder why. It’s our chemical makeup. It’s what keeps us healthy and functioning properly.
But what if I told you that your body may have chemicals within it that mimic your naturally occurring hormones, with the ability to make you unwell with life-threatening diseases.
Sadly, these chemicals are lurking in many everyday items and it’s important to know where they hide.
The most destructive chemicals are undoubtedly the xenoestrogens group (basically ‘fake’ oestrogens), which I will expose today. | 2019-04-26T00:03:37Z | https://gutdetective.com.au/tag/hormones/ |
Native American Haplogroup C Update – Progress!!
Haplogroup C-P39 is the Native American branch of Y DNA paternal haplogroup C. It’s rare as chicken’s teeth. Most Native American males fall into haplogroup Q, making our haplogroup C-P39 project participants quite unusual and unique. So are the tools needed to identify branches on the Native American haplogroup C tree.
Last week, Family Tree DNA added a group of 9 SNPs found in haplogroup C to their product offering. This was done without an announcement and without any fanfare – but it’s really important. Without the ongoing support of Family Tree DNA, we wouldn’t have the Big Y test, nor the refining SNP tests that can be added to the Big Y in areas where the results are ambiguous. Individuals who don’t want to purchase the Big Y can purchase these haplogroup defining SNPs individually as well.
The Native defining SNP for haplogroup C is P39. People who test positive for C-P39 will then want to test Z30750 and Z30764.
However, because haplogroup C-P39 is so rare – and to date – we have found several new SNPs in every man who has taken the Big Y test – and because those new, never before discovered SNPs are the bread crumbs that we need to follow to discover how our ancestors settled and dispersed across the Americas – we strong recommend the Big Y test at Family Tree DNA for all C-P39 men. The Big Y test doesn’t just look at known SNP locations, it scans the entire Y chromosome for mutations. Therefore, it’s both a genealogy and a research tool.
To that end, we very much want to fund this testing from the project coffers where necessary to advance our understanding. Just to whet your appetite, we have participants now across Canada and also in the American Southwest. We desperately want these men to take the Big Y test so we can get a much clearer picture of how they are related, and how many mutations they have individually – but don’t share – because that is how we estimate when they last shared a common ancestor. In other words, the mutations build the branches of the tree.
This week, we’ve ordered another new C-P39 Big Y test. If you are C-P39 – Native American haplogroup C – and have not yet taken the Big Y – please consider doing so.
If you are Native American and haplogroup C – please join the C-P39 and the American Indian projects. You can do so from your home page at Family Tree DNA by clicking on the “Projects” tab at the upper left of your personal page, then on “join projects.” You can search for the word “Indian” in the project list to find the American Indian project and scrolling down to the Y haplogroup projects and clicking on C will take you to the C-P39 link.
Each individual who takes the Big Y test is also encouraged to upgrade to 111 markers. We need as much information as we can get.
Marie Rundquist and I are co-administrators of the C-P39 project, and she wrote the following verbiage in honor of the 5 year anniversary of the first discovery of what is now C-P39 in the Native Community. We, as a community, have come a very long way in just 5 years!
It was in 2010, five years ago, when Keith Doucet first tested for the C P39 Y DNA (formerly C3b) Native American DNA type in the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Family Tree DNA study — with numbers of Doucets (and Doucettes!) having the same, Native American, C P39 Y DNA result. It’s amazing when you think of our journey and how much this research has benefitted our knowledge of our history in North America!
…and the subsequent discoveries of related Doucets and Doucettes and other project members from all regions of the US and Canada who tested in our project and whose results showed the same Native American C P39 Y DNA haplogroup type?
There is great similarity among the DNA test results for our C P39 Y DNA candidates despite differences in geographic locations and surnames, with testers from across the United States, including the American Southwest, the North East, the South, and Canada compared. Initial Big Y DNA test results for project members have shown remarkable similarity as well. Additional Big Y test results for tests underway and the availability of 9 new SNPs for our project members help us discover whether this trend is amplified by the additional tests or if we (the C P39 Y DNA project) can distinguish downstream uniqueness among our participants. The C P39 Y DNA test has received the generous support of its members, Family Tree DNA leadership and scientists, product managers, and volunteer administrators in establishing our superior C P39 Y DNA baseline and we are grateful for your support.
Thank you to our project members for your continued participation! And thank you to Family Tree DNA for their ongoing dedication, research and support. Collectively, we discover more of our history every day!

What are these 9 C SNPs? I don’t manage a NA project although I have members from a Pacific NW tribe in my project, but many of us are of C haplogroup. Would be good to know what these are.
Here’s the list and I have updated the article with the SNPs as well.
The Native defining SNP for C is P39. Underneath P39 they will want to test for Z30750 and Z30764.
I am C3e and recently joined the C-P39 project. My mother and father both have Native American heritage from New Mexico. I have been told Pueblo Indian by my mother but not 100% positive because I’ve also heard Apache..so maybe both . My Spaniard ancestors colonized New Mexico and intermixed with Native Americans who assimilated into the Spanish culture. I’ve uploaded my results to FTDNA. Please let me know which test to take that will help with the project. Thank you.
Hi, Jeff, Look for a reply by email regarding your results with suggestions. Thanks!
Love the “rare as chicken teeth,” Roberta! For members of this study, what began as an exploration of Native American origins with the C P 39 project has now turned into a deep dive into family genealogy. The DNA is filling in the gaps…I hear this sentiment from our members and its very fulfilling too. | 2019-04-18T20:47:35Z | https://dna-explained.com/2015/08/25/native-american-haplogroup-c-update-progress/ |
