Two sided 5mm/6mm allen key from Runwell, Japan.
TAKE 56 has a form resembling a bamboo shoot to make the grip easy to hold and to apply torque. A parachute cord at the end of the grip adds to the Japanese style of the tool. TAKE 56 has a 5mm allen key on one side, and 6mm on the other. TAKE (meaning Bamboo) 56 is designed to fit perfectly in the hand, giving maximum torque for even hard to shift, rusty bolts. | 2019-04-18T13:04:01Z | https://www.tokyobike.com.au/buy-accessories/runwell-take-56-allen-key |
Handle with care was a collection designed entirely out of fabric hands. This dress is made from over 250 hands all sewn together and was the key piece of the collection.
The dress has spent some time on display in the Milais and Fairfields Gallery’s. | 2019-04-21T17:05:48Z | https://clareallington.com/designs/handle-with-care/ |
This time last year, I was sitting at a desk in an overly air conditioned office building in downtown Manhattan. Most of my day was spent behind a computer screen, making copies, and answering phone calls. I knew spending eight hours a day behind a desk was not for me and that there must be a more fulfilling option out there. I always knew that I wanted a career focused on urban greening, but had no idea where to start. Fortunately, after many hours searching online, I found a light at the end of the tunnel–a free 10-week course called the Brooklyn Urban Gardener (BUG) program. Greenbridge, the community horticulture department of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, offers the BUG program annually in the fall. BUG helped me discover a path that led me to start doing the kind of work I knew I wanted to do.
Full disclosure: As a result of my participation in the BUG I program, I currently work for Greenbridge. Greenbridge developed the BUG program in part because they were receiving such a constant flow of community gardens, schools, and not-for-profit organizations requesting outside assistance in developing greening projects throughout the borough. However, Greenbridge staff had limited time to devote to such requests. The BUG program serves as a means of expanding BBG’s impact on community greening outside its gates.
BUG is a “train-the-trainer” course designed to develop community horticultural leaders throughout Brooklyn. Class sessions are scheduled primarily on weekday evenings to accommodate the demanding schedules of working individuals. An essential aspect of the program is the 30 hours dedicated to the community volunteer project. Each year, BUG students are organized into teams of five and are then assigned to complete volunteer projects throughout Brooklyn. In 2011, a BUG team project involved the creation of PS34’s garden and yielded the school’s Young Environmentalist Club.
Helped institute an on-site school compost system and lunchtime food scrap collection.
In addition to the 40 hours of classroom training and the direct hands-on the experience of working with a volunteer project, the BUG program also connects students to the myriad of resources available through BBG. Most notably, access to the amazingly helpful resource library, free admission to the garden, a vast network of horticultural stewards, and an elaborately comprehensive manual that provides the answer (or place to turn for one) to nearly every challenge faced in tackling community greening in Brooklyn.
As a result of my experience in the BUG program, my life has forever been shifted. I have developed a significant network of community greening resources, and more importantly, the confidence, skills and tools necessary to make a more direct impact on community greening throughout Brooklyn.
Apply to the BUG Program!
Fill out the application and email it to BUG@bbg.org. The deadline for applications is June 8th. Who knows, it just might change your life too.
Inspiring, Ryan. If we weren’t expecting our 2nd child in September, I might just apply! Maybe in 2014.
Thanks Garret! It’ll definitely be around next year and gets better every year! I definitely encourage you to apply (if having an infant isn’t too much as well!). | 2019-04-23T05:08:51Z | http://gwapp.org/2013/05/bug-changed-my-lif/ |
My name is Claire Sinclair and I have been told that I take on too many projects. Some of these projects are small, such as decorating or rearranging the furniture. Others are much bigger, like The Pajama Drives and food drives I organize. I have decided that my newest project will be “A Project for Kindness”. My goal is that it is my biggest project yet!
This project started with the intention of writing every single day. I was looking for inspirational things to write about; kindness, good deeds, inspirational people…and I did it!
Then, in March, my mom passed away suddenly and the blog began to take a different path. Although still about kindness, and spreading kindness wherever you go, I also started writing using a more personal side. Then my 31 year old sister-in-law died three weeks after my mom, also completely suddenly.
This has really changed my way of thinking. Not negatively, but even more positively than before. I realize that we have to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy the days that we have with each other. I miss my mom so much, and find myself wanting to call her all of the time. Now, some of the things I would have shared with her, become part of my blog.
Hi! I nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thanks for your positivity and inspiration!
My name is Prudence Holling and I have just self-published a children’s book called “Grace Has a Secret”. It’s a beautiful story of kindness and gratitude complete with really unique illustrations. I thought that it may be of interest to you considering the content of your website.
Thank you for letting me know. I will be sure to check it out!!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the follow. I enjoy reading your posts!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you taking the time to read it 🙂 I look forward to reading yours as well!
I happened on your blog by accident tonight, and wanted to tell you thank you! I love your stories. I am a 1st grade teacher, and also have NF1. I am having 5 neurofibromas removed from my foot in December over winter break. I am nervous about two weeks not being enough time to recoup. But I guess we do what we do. I, like you, don’t sit still well..
Anyway, thank you for creating this blog.
Wow! Coincidence that you happened up on the blog?? I will be honest, my foot hurt more then I expected it to. Are they large? I have several more on my foot but didn’t want to do them all at once. These two were interfering with my shoes. If I had done anymore, it would have been considered “too cosmetic” which upsets me because insurance doesn’t cover that. I get upset because I am not enhancing anything to change my body so I don’t think it should be cosmetic. Do you have many neurofibromas in other places? I’d love to keep in contact with you about this. There are so few people I meet with it, it is nice to know someone going through the same thing!
Would love to keep in contact with you. Are you on Facebook? My email is stacerstj@yahoo.com. The bumps on my foot range in size from the size of a pea to about the size of a penny. Some are “flatter” than others, like the 3 on the sole of my foot. I do have others on MANY places on my body. As I get older, I notice more showing up. I am hoping my insurance covers this, I too would like the doctor to remove as many as he can while I am sedated. I had one small one removed from my face about 3 weeks ago. It is still healing. I have had many surgeries to remove them from my scalp as well…please do keep in touch. | 2019-04-23T04:19:15Z | https://aprojectforkindness.wordpress.com/about/ |
I love paint for furniture, and what’s even better …. metallic paint for furniture! I’m sharing a review on Modern Masters Metallic Paint today.
On Friday, I posted a little teaser photo of something I’ve been working on, over on Instagram.
I was compensated with product and/or payment to review Modern Masters Metallic Paint. However, all opinions are 100% my own.
I was asked awhile back if I’d like to review the Metallic Paint Collection by Modern Masters.
I LOVE paint, so of course I said yes!
I had two color choices and decided to go with Oyster and Warm Silver. I had a terrible time choosing….there are so many fabulous colors.
And honestly, I really can’t wait to try more ….but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Let’s start with a close up “before photo” of the table I chose to paint.
It never ceases to amaze me what a little paint can do for a piece of furniture.
And in this case, metallic paint.
I picked up this piece at a favorite thrift store of mine for $3. Three whole dollars.
But it wasn’t looking so good.
Someone had spilled glue and nail polish on the top and I had to sand to remove it (after I chipped most of it off).
It was also a little “wonky” but a few tighter screws later, all is well.
Since this table was black I decided to spray it with a white primer before painting.
I chose to use both colors and go for a 2-tone finish.
The Warm Silver had super fabulous coverage since it’s ‘opaque’. The Oyster had a little less coverage but it was supposed to since it’s ‘semi-opaque’.
The Oyster is a gorgeous shade and I can see using it over metal and so many other things for a hint of shimmer. Beeaaauuutiful!
I loved the round shape of the table and decided it needed a compass rose right in the middle.
I used a white watercolor pencil to draw the compass rose and hand painted in with Oyster.
You can see a full tutorial on how to draw/paint a compass rose in this post here.
Isn’t that Warm Silver luscious? It’s a bit more gold than I had envisioned but it ended up being a lovely contrast to the Oyster shade.
So how did I like the paint?
I loved it. It went on like “buttah”…really, it did. I have no better word to describe it.
That is the word that popped into my head as I was painting and so I had to be true to it and say it here.
I had never contemplated metallic finishes much before….but I’m really loving them lately.
And I’m thrilled to have been introduced to this fabulous Modern Masters Metallic Paint!
How about you? Are you a metallic paint lover? Do you own any metallic painted furniture?
UPDATE!! You can see them now, here!
Wow – what a beautiful table and only $3 what a great deal.
Gorgeous table! It was steal at $3 but you have made it look like a million bucks!
What a beautiful end result for this pretty table. I can’t believe that table was only $3, what a deal. I love the metallic look and want to try Modern Masters paint for myself.
This turned out gorgeous Nancy! That color is beautiful and now you have inspired me to try a compass rose!
Thanks Shanna! :) Oh yes, they are fun to do!
Your table is spectacular. Using the two colors together was inspired. I like how you dressed up the legs, too. I just finished an antiqued silver nightstand. I used Martha Stewart’s metallic paint (the small pot available at Home Depot). While it went on very smoothly, every brush stroke showed. I even bought good brushes (Wooster and Zibra). I ended up using four coats of paint on top of two coats of primer. I wasn’t too happy having to put on so many coats or with the brush strokes (and I sanded in between). I have two more pieces that I want to use the same finish on but I might try Modern Masters instead. So if you don’t mind, I have some questions for you. How was the coverage of the opaque paint and how many coats did you need? And did you brush or roll on the paint and did you have brush strokes? Thanks for sharing your gorgeous project.
Yes, the first metallic paint I used was Martha Stewart’s and it was quite a challenge to get it to cover well. I think I probably used about 4 coats too. I think you will tend to get some brush strokes with any metallic paint. It’s just the nature of it. BUT, with that said, I had much less trouble with that with the Modern Masters paints. So a good paint brush is definitely key. I like Purdy best. The coverage for the “Warm Silver”, which is listed as “opaque” was FABULOUS. The coverage for the “Oyster” was not the same but it was to be expected since it was “semi-opaque”. The Oyster would be fabulous for highlighting metal or woodwork…and works very well over light colors.
I actually like it best. :) But keep in mind these are the only 2 colors I’ve tried so far. I will be trying more though.
I typically don’t use a roller much anymore but you could try that. I’d be interested to hear how that works with the metallic. Might be a good choice!
Thanks for the quick reply! I’m glad to hear that you’ve used the Martha Stewart paint so you know first hand how it performed. While I didn’t care for the brush strokes, it was more that the finish was very uneven. Even after the 4th coat, there were very obvious light and dark areas–especially on the top. And every change of brush direction showed (like painting the edge and then painting the top–if any paint from painting the edge got on the top, it showed). I’m glad that I chose a small project to start with because the next two are a china cabinet and a 9-drawer dresser. I definitely will try Modern Masters next. I see that they have a clear coat that will keep the metallic quality of the paint. I think I will try that on the nightstand top to make sure that things don’t stick.
WOW! That is a lovely and amazing transformation! That table is gorgeous now and that stencil really tops it off! ;) I LOVE Modern Masters! I have used their paints before and they are the bomb!
Thank you Julie! :) They are great…I look forward to trying some of the other colors now!
Oh my!!! The table is simply amazing!!! You’ve done an incredible job with it!!!! Even my husband, who is VERY sceptical about all this, thought it was beautiful! I REALLY like it!!!
Aw thank you Tess!:))) So glad you like it!!
Oh my goodness!! Nancy this table turned out so gorgeous, it looks so expensive! I love Modern Masters paints and have been using them for several years now, but their metallics are ahmazing. They have more colors, I think I may need to add to my collection. I am sharing this on FB, so gorgeous!
Thanks Karen!! :) I know, I might be hooked! I’ll be trying some more colors too!!
Love the table! It turned out beautiful! Love the compass rose!
Thank you Crystal! :) Compass Roses are my favorite…and really not hard to do at all!
I love this project and am a huge fan of Modern Masters paints… I’ve been using them for about a year and they hold up well. So glad you showed how to make your compass rose.. I’ve always wanted to do one. I always enjoy your painted treasures!
Compass Roses look complicated but they are sooo easy to do!! You can do it!
She is a beauty, Nancy!!! You are very talented my friend!
You did it again….another beautiful piece! It’s hard to believe that gorgeous table had such humble beginnings! You are so talented!
Wow Nancy, what a difference! Love the warm silver and oyster combo – so soft and pretty. I remember the compass rose you painted on another piece and it looks gorgeous on this one too. I’ve never used Modern Masters paint but this pretty makeover has certainly peaked my interest!
I was never much for metallic finishes in general but this has certainly changed my mind! It’s an elegant and subtle metallic which I love!
OK… this is spectacular!!! I have been looking for metallic paint for a project I am doing in a few weeks. I am going to check this line out, it looks like the perfect product!
I love furniture that has something “extra special” about it. And this has that “extra special” touch with the compass on top! Love that!!!
This turned out amazing!! I love the color combination, I’m thinking on using it on a table I have laying around in my house that is about the same size as yours, so I was wondering how much paint did you use for the project and which primer did you use. Could you recommend which brushes to use and where I can get them?
This paint went a long way actually! I have the small 6 oz Oyster and maybe used 1/4-1/3 of it. And the large 32 oz in Warm Silver, somewhere in between 1/8-1/4.
Nancy you did a fantastic job on this!!!!! It looks beautiful.
nancy- this table turned out amazing! i love that you used a compass rose on the top and choice of colors..perfection!
It looks now like a million bucks. Amazing.
When I saw this table, I thought to myself, that looks really familiar. Why, yes! That is because the same exact one is sitting in my garage right now waiting for it’s transformation! It was my great grandma’s table that my mother just recently gave to me. Yours turned out amazing! Love the two toned and metallic!
I was so impressed with your before-to-after, I just have to do the same with a table I have like it! And another table. And a chair. And a desk. :-) (I did take a GIANT gasp as it’s rather pricey.) Anxious to get started !
Aw that’s so sweet Patty!! :) Have fun!! You will love it!
I used once and having a hard time getting it on before it dries. and then areas are darker when i go over any help?
Hmm, it is a little different to work with. I did notice you have to be purposeful with your strokes when painting. (probably due to the metallic finish) I think metallic finishes can be a little picky in general. But knowing that going in helps. I just made sure to be very systematic with my brushing and applying it. The center area was done in “swirl” swipes etc.
As far as it drying before you finish…try using a larger amount of paint on the piece to work with. Especially if you are doing a large area. You need time to work the paint over the whole surface and go back and perfect your brush strokes before it dries. | 2019-04-26T08:58:07Z | https://www.artsychicksrule.com/modern-masters-metallic-paint-makeover-review/ |

It's only a Peanut Butter Jar, Good Grief!
Josie made it sound that she got the grand prize that day. She kept the empted peanut butter jar all to herself. She took the jar to a near by empty crate where she could lick its contents in peace with no interferance from Caillee and Hyacinth. You can't really tell but that dark speck in the photo is actually Caillee watching intently for any signs that Josie might give up the prized jar. | 2019-04-23T10:24:03Z | http://www.prettyinpinkdogs.com/2008/05/its-only-peanut-butter-jar-good-grief.html |

Is it time for the United States to dump Saudi Arabia?
After the recent execution of Shi’ite cleric Nimr al-Nimr by Saudi Arabia, the Middle East once again risks devolving into sectarian chaos. A mob torched the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, prompting Saudi Arabia and a number of its Sunni allies to break diplomatic relations with Iran.
In response to the unfolding chaos, the Wall Street Journal responded by asking “Who Lost the Saudis?” — fretting that the lack of support from the United States could lead to the overthrow of the Saudi regime. This is a provocative query, reminiscent of the “Who Lost China?” attacks against President Harry Truman after the Communist takeover of mainland China in 1949. But it’s the wrong question. Rather than wondering if Washington’s support for Riyadh is sufficient, American policymakers should instead ask themselves the following question: Is it time for the United States to dump Saudi Arabia?
The moral case for the United States to question its close relationship with Saudi Arabia is clear. Saudi Arabia is governed by the House of Saud, an authoritarian monarchy that does not tolerate dissent, and the country consistently ranks among the “worst of the worst” countries in democracy watchdog Freedom House’s annual survey of political and civil rights.
Given the two countries’ divergent values, the U.S.-Saudi alliance relies almost entirely on overlapping economic and national security interests. The United States long relied on Saudi Arabia as an oil supplier, a steadfast beacon of opposition to communism and a huge buyer of American arms. The Saudis, meanwhile, depend on the United States to protect their security.
Despite these long-standing ties, Saudi Arabia now harms American national interests as much as it helps them.
First, the Saudis and the United States diverge over American policy toward Iran. Saudi Arabia sees itself locked in a sectarian and geopolitical struggle with Iran for Middle East supremacy. Riyadh is concerned the deal that lifted sanctions against Iran in exchange for Tehran dismantling it’s nuclear infrastructure will empower Iran to pursue a more aggressive foreign policy in the region. Riyadh also fears abandonment by Washington, and worries the nuclear deal is only the first step in a process that could lead to its replacement by Iran as the United States’ primary Persian Gulf ally.
President Barack Obama, by contrast, describes the nuclear agreement with Iran as “a very good deal” that “achieves one of our most critical security objectives.” While no indication exists that the United States seeks to replace Saudi Arabia with Iran, it makes sense for Washington to explore other areas where American and Iranian interests may overlap. As the United States and Iran continue to feel each other out, we can expect tensions between Washington and Riyadh to grow.
Second, Saudi Arabia executed al-Nimr despite concerns expressed by the United States that doing so could damage hopes for peace in Syria. Ending the Syrian war remains a priority for the United States, since Washington hopes a Syrian settlement will lead all parties to unite against Islamic State.
Saudi Arabia and Iran support opposing sides in Syria’s civil war, and the prospects for peace depend significantly on cooperation from both countries. With the two countries now at each others’ throats due to the Saudis’ execution of al-Nimr, the Obama administration believes Saudi-Iranian tensions could “blow up” Washington’s objectives in Syria.
Third, thanks to the shale oil boom in the United States, American dependence on Saudi oil has dropped dramatically. According to a Citibank report, by 2020 the United States may produce so much domestic oil that it would become a net exporter, completely freeing itself from any reliance on Persian Gulf imports. Moreover, the Saudis also rely on the American market. They and many other OPEC members produce what’s called “heavy sour” crude, and the U.S. refinery system is the most attractive market for this type of petroleum. As the United States reduces imports, the Saudis must scramble to find other markets such as China. Unfortunately for Riyadh — as the Russians can attest — the Chinese give no quarter when holding the upper hand in negotiations.
The Saudis understand the consequences of the United States’ reduced reliance on imported oil. To retain market share, the Saudis launched an assault on American shale oil producers, hoping to drive them out of business by flooding the market with Saudi oil. The Saudis hope this leads oil prices to recover, but in the meantime much of the American shale oil industry could face bankruptcy. While cheap oil is good for American consumers, at a certain point the downside for the United States’ economy may outweigh the upsides. Of course, if the United States regains a greater dependence on foreign oil, the Saudis will be the ones to benefit.
In a highly unusual public rebuke in December, Germany’s vice-chancellor Sigmar Gabriel accused the Saudis of funding extremism in the West. “Wahhabi mosques all over the world are financed by Saudi Arabia. Many Islamists who are a threat to public safety come from these communities in Germany. We have to make clear to the Saudis that the time of looking away is over,” Gabriel said.
Even so, Gabriel is right — and it’s high time Washington policymakers take a good look at the long-term future of the American-Saudi relationship.
Regime change in Saudi Arabia is long overdue.
Thanks for approaching some honesty about the Sauds. The truth is that anyone who has missed how utterly depraved the absolute despots of KSA are is blind and dumb. That the western media reporters weren’t rolling on the floor laughing when KSA was named head of the UN Panel on Human Rights is a sorry testimony to the ignorance of the group. That western media was stone silent as the US tried to convince the world that the Sauds – whose ideology and government are indistinguishable from ISIS – was helping us bring “freedom and democracy” to Syria (that has infinitely more of both than KSA will ever have under the Sauds) speaks volumes of how embedded journos are with the government here. That western media remains mute over the daily atrocities of the Saudi aggression in Yemen is criminal. Enough already.
It was time 30 years ago. Saudi Arabia is a terror sponsor and homophobic nation.
and the US backs off the UK……..
So interesting to see the Officials of many countries that Syrians always have conflicts with are the ones planning The Syrians future!
I’m very sure those politicians can’t sleep at night till they deliver Democracy to Syria that many of those politicians don’t even have in their own countries!!!
You forget to mention the fact that The Petro-Dollars treaty that enable USA to make money out of each Oil transaction from the Gulf region, which help US economy tremendously is a valid reason for our government to close their eyes on all unethical acts that are happening by Wahhabi Saudi everyday!
No amount of PR can hide the fact that Saudi Arabia is a malevolent influence in propagating the worst interpretations of Islam throughout the Middle East and beyond. This fake “royal” regime has been cosseted long enough allowing their bogus “princes” to use their ill-gotten billions on buying off the West’s governments, industry and media.
The endgame seems to be in sight now for this monstrous regime that has sawn the seeds of 9-11 and used their enormous oil revenues to promote Wahabism – the most extreme-Islamic evil around the world. They even bit he hand that fed them by declaring war against American oil shale industry. Iran is an angel by comparison. Thank you for an enlightening article.
Saudi Arabia is a religious Monarchy. America left that stuff behind 300 years ago.
Cheney’s friends in Saudi Arabia need to burn. And they can take Cheney with them.
TrusTED and you’ll get more of the same (the third term of Bush/Cheney).
If we bombed them into submission they’d have nothing left. Our frackers will prosper and all would be well here inside the USA. NO MORE OIL IMPORTS. To the heck with those nuts over there. After all if things get out of hand there we have over 2K nukes ready to fire on will. We’re sick and tired of the wackos in the Middle East. Send Cruz and Rubio over there too.
Another article on the same outlet suggests a possible Saudi/US invasion of Syria, I thought they already did this by installing moderate terrorists(FSA) and ISIL. US military personnel already showing dissent via social media against any pro Sunni- terrorist deployment in Syria.
Dead on. North American oil, while heavy and sour, does not come with a surcharge in blood.
1. Saudi Arabia is our #1 defense industry customer.
2. The Defense Industry runs our Congress.
BTW. That also explains our perpetual war doctrine.
The Saudis will change their ways if they want our money badly enough. Otherwise I foresee a bloody overthrow of their tightly held regime, and the Kingdom will once more devolve into tribal in-fighting.
I am not a fan of any undemocratic regime, but we should be much more concerned about commie cash kings in China and KGB mafia in Russia, IMHO.
George Bush attacked the wrong country for the 9/11 outrage.
He was never very good at geography.
Just two more infos : religion of terrorists groups is Salafism. And Salafism roots are Wahhabi.
It,s a good and nice thing that the US and German politician have got to conclusion that what,s the real essence of Saudi tyrannous and oppressive self-appointed rulers.For years many government,especially Iran,insisted on the terrorist essence of Saudi rulers and their economical,political and logistic support of extremist groups like Al-Qaeda , ISIS ,Al-Nusra and………….
In the other hand , the Westerners,that have been repeatedly,accused Iran of supporting terrorism,should revise in their opinion about Iran and believe that Iran is ready to help the fight against extremism and terrorism anywhere in the world,especially in middle east,because Iran is the victim of terrorism after its revolution.
It,s hoped that the other governments and politicians will wake up soon and will stop the stupid Saudi rulers from their dangerous behavior,before late,and will help the innocent people of Syria,Yemen,Bahrain,….to return to their usual life.
Regardless of what happens in the future I wish America would seek out alternative energy sources. We do not need to depend on any foreign government or country for our survival!
The whole of North Africa and the Middle East is one big nuthouse, albeit excellent customers of American weaponry.
This is relevannt comment. USA must put saudies to pay heavily, because the Saudi government tried to harm US oil industry. They are very vulnerable for instance compared to Iran. They have no ability to make industrial production to produce high tec weapons etc. That ability Iran has because Iranian people are competent to solve problems, while saudis are not.
The ability in high tec is all for future.
Yes I am sure Kerry and Hossein Obama (the 2 fabulous deal makers and foreign policy experts) know exactly what they are doing. Plus who needs the Saoudis when we have Iran as BFF!.
This article is biased beyond belief. History has been twisted, manipulated, and fabricated to suit the narrative of putting forth the façade of a debate. Not the author of this article or any of the commenters below praising this ‘long overdue article’ know an iota of how the world really works.
I would like to ask the author what his views on Iran were several years ago at the height of the frenzy to impose sanctions… 2 critical concepts at play here forming the mathematical formula of: PROPAGANDA X HERD MENTALITY = DISINFORMATION + DISTORTION OF FACTS + IGNORANCE.
Reuters: How could you allow for an article such as this be published. Full of conjecture, outright fabrications and distortion of historical fact… This is the repulsing state of journalism.
GW Bush was not very good at anything. His voters represented the dumbest half of America. Clearly.
Everywhere in the Arab world, the fall of the dictatorship or monarchy means civil war and chaos .This applies even more to the center of evil. Reforming the monarchy is also impossible. The best solution is a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, brutal sectarian war. Europe experienced one such war 400 years ago. Without discrediting religion as a source of morality and rights is impossible modernization of the Islamic world.The world should let them to fry in their own fatThis means non-interference in relations between countries in the Middle East by the West and the US .
It is PAST time for the United States to stop underwriting Saudi foreign military adventures.
Iran killed 160 Americans in 1982 and then 25 Americans in 1996, funding hezbollah and secterian militians responsible for ethnic cleansing in Iraq, now Iran is supporting assad who is using allying with Russia against the US and helping assad to commit war crimes and sending iranian revlutionary guards to kill syrian, btw Iranian revolutionary guard is the same who held US citizens as hostages in 1979 In US Embassy in tehran, what israel is good for? just taking aids from the US and relying totally on handouts from Uncle sam, Saudi Arabia have been a very good ally for the last 70 years, helped us to defeat the Soviet Union, now helping US to defeat russia by lowering oil prices though BHO don’t want that, Saudi Arabia is staunche ally and if we lose them, we will lose a big leverage against all US enemies including china and russia, Iran rulled by dark age clergy who is killing American citizens and innocent women and children in Syria, not to mention threatening the existance of israel, obviously the writer lives in a different world or simply maybe on iran’s payroll nothing more. | 2019-04-20T12:47:50Z | http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2016/02/03/is-it-time-for-the-united-states-to-dump-saudi-arabia/ |
Whether you are rolling one up, or packing a fat bowl of your finest herb, it goes without saying that the best way to ensure a full, even burn is by properly grinding it first. Grinders come in many shapes, sizes, and styles, so we make sure to give you plenty of options here at The Dab Lab. Some customers prefer the slim pocket-sized profile of 2-piece grinders, while many want the full 4-piece models with the steel mesh screens and pollen collection chambers - so of course we offer both options. We have top quality, American made grinders like Phoenician Grinders and more affordable (but still quality) grinders like Kannastor Grinders. Phoenician Grinders are a bit newer to the scene, but with their background in engineering, they provide a wide array of features unique to their brand. Fibonacci-inspired design can be found throughout each model and the screens are removable and replaceable. Phoenician Grinders have no threads, but instead use a cool locking notch system that eliminates cross threading forever! The Kannastor has a more classic design, but with a unique look (black tops). They also make a "clear top" grinder that allows you to see the herb as you grind it (could prevent over-grinding).

Muslims think destruction. They would be praising Allah had the gas place blew up burning down the place providing electricity to people. God is not happy about destruction.

Set ribs out of the refrigerator to warm to room temperature.
Meanwhile, make sauce. Sauté onion and garlic in butter in a skillet until onion is clear, then add remaining ingredients and simmer 20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Dip ribs into hot barbecue sauce, then place on the grill.
Feed fire small pieces of aromatic twigs — fruit cuttings, grape or hickory.
Cover and barbecue until ribs are done, about 1 1/2 hours, keeping fire low, turning from time to time and basting with reserved sauce. Douse any flame-ups. | 2019-04-25T09:56:04Z | https://recipegoldmine.com/grillribs/kansas-city-style-barecued-beef-short-ribs.html |
Vitreous enamel is an ancient technique for adding beautiful color to jewelery and other objects by melting glass and fusing it to metal. Originally developed by the Persians, artists through the ages have found myriad ways to express themselves through its versatility. In this class students will begin their own artistic journey with enamel. Students will produce a pair of earrings, a pendant, and large pictorial image. Prior metalsmithing experience is helpful but not necessary.
We'll take a break for lunch and there are places nearby to grab a bite, but you can also bring your lunch if you want more workshop time to practice.

Judaism mandates the avoidance of tsa’ar ba’alei chaim, causing “sorrow to animals),” but ten billion animals in the U.S. alone are slaughtered annually after being raised under very cruel conditions on modern factory farms, where all of their natural instincts are thwarted.
To increase awareness of these inconsistencies, Jewish Vegetarians of North America, of which I am president, is spearheading a coalition of groups (list in formation at the end of this article) that is making an audacious proposal: that the ancient Jewish New Year for animals, a day originally involved with the tithing of animals for sacrifices, be restored and transformed. The coalition believes that just as Tu Bishvat, a day initially intended for tithing fruit trees for Temple offerings, was reclaimed in the 17th Century by mystics as a day for healing the natural world, it is important that Rosh Hashana La’Beheimot (New Year’s Day for Animals) become a day devoted to increasing awareness of Judaism’s powerful teachings on compassion to animals, and to considering a tikkun (healing) for the horrible ways that animals are treated today on factory farms and in other settings.
A 2006 report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, “Livestock’s Long Shadow,” indicated that animal-based agriculture emits more greenhouse gases (in CO2 equivalents) than is emitted by all the cars, planes, ships, and all other means of transportation worldwide combined. In a cover story, “Livestock and Climate Change,” in a 2009 issue of World Watch magazine, two environmentalists associated with the World Bank argued that he livestock sector is responsible for at least 51 percent of greenhouse gases. A major reason for this huge contribution to climate change is the large amounts of methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, emitted by cattle and other animals.
In view of the above, a major societal shift to plant-based diets is essential if the world is to have even a chance to avert the many current potential disasters. The case is even stronger for Jews, since animal-based diets and agriculture violate Jewish teachings about preserving human health, treating animals with compassion, protecting the environment, conserving natural resources, and helping hungry people.
It is well known that one is not to yell fire in a crowded theater. Unless there really is a fire! Well, metaphorically, the world is on fire today. Almost daily reports of severe, sometimes record-breaking, heat waves, droughts, wildfires, storms, and floods, in addition to polar icecaps and glaciers melting far faster than worse case projections of climate experts, are leading climatologists to fear that the world is heading toward a climate catastrophe. There are also indications that the planet may soon face major scarcities of food, water, and available energy. In addition, there are many other environmental threats, including deforestation, soil erosion, rapid species losses, desertification, acidification of oceans, and air and water pollution.
Hence, it is essential that dramatic steps be soon taken to alert society of the dangers and the need to take immediate actions.
Despite the above points, there is currently much denial, apathy, and lack of awareness among Jews and others about the need to make the saving of the planetary environment a major focus of life today. Along with most other people, Jews are generally “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic,” as we head toward a giant iceberg. Hence, the coalition plans to use the renewed New Year for Animals to increase awareness of the necessity of major societal changes, including a shift away from animal-based diets, in order to avoid the current potential disasters.
The reestablished holiday occurs on Rosh Chodesh Elul, the first day of the Hebrew month of Elul. In 2012, this is from sunset on Saturday, August 18 to sunset on Sunday, August 19. This is an excellent time for this renewed holiday since this date is the beginning of a month-long period of introspection during which Jews are to examine their deeds before the high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Starting on Rosh Chodesh Elul and for the entire month (except on Shabbat), the shofar is blown in synagogues during morning services to awaken people to their responsibilities, and that is an appropriate time to consider how we can improve conditions for animals. It is significant that Judaism considers that forhiddur mitzvah (to enhance mitzvot) the shofar and other ritual objects should ideally come from animals that have been raised without cruelty and have died natural deaths.
Transforming the holiday would also: show that Jews are applying Judaism’s eternal teachings to today’s critical issues; improve Judaism’s image for people concerned about vegetarianism, animals, the environment, and related issues, by reinforcing a compassionate side of Judaism; bring young, idealistic Jews who are currently alienated to some extent from Judaism and strengthen the commitment of vegetarian Jews who are already involved in Jewish life, by creating/reclaiming a holiday that they can more closely relate to and find relevant, meaningful, and appealing; and challenge Jews to creatively make the holiday meaningful, thereby helping to revitalize Judaism.
Of course restoring and transforming an ancient holiday cannot be done all at once. Just like Tu Bishvat, it would have to capture the imagination of Jews and evolve gradually. However, much progress has already been made and momentum is growing. There will be at least three vegetarian Seders to observe the holiday on August 19: in New York City at the Caravan of Dreams restaurant, at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, CT, and at a resort in Ontario, Canada, near Sault Ste. Marie. In addition a number of rabbis have endorsed the initiative, including Orthodox Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg who has written a comprehensive book on the Jewish festivals, Rabbi David Wolpe, a leading U.S. Conservative rabbi, and Rabbi Adam Frank, rabbi of the largest Conservative (Masorti) synagogue in Israel.
Renewing an ancient, almost completely forgotten Jewish holiday may seem audacious. But it is essential, to help revitalize Judaism, improve the health of Jews, sharply reduce the current massive mistreatment of animals, and help move our precious but imperiled planet to a sustainable path.
Please help spread the word about this initiative to renew the New Year for Animals as a day to increase awareness of the beautiful Jewish teachings on compassion to animals and how to apply them to end the horrific treatment of animals on factory farms and in other settings. Please consider arranging a talk, class, discussion or Seder related to the holiday.
Richard Schwartz is a 21st/58th century prophet!
Please visit JewishVeg.com/schwartz, and then scroll doen to the following section where I have 4 articles related to restoring and transforming the ancient holiday of the New Year for the Animals.
Why this initiative to restore and transform the ancient New Year for Animals is so important today.
3. Trying to avert the impending disasters should be a major focus for civilization today.
6. Unfortunately, there is insufficient emphasis on these teachings, as more emphasis is on learning about the biblical sacrifices, which animals are kosher to be eaten, and how animals are to be slaughtered and prepared to be eaten.
7. There is much apathy and denial about the impending catastrophes and the need to make averting them a societal imperative.
8. Hence, there is a need to awaken people to the dangers and the need for major changes to avert the impending disasters.
9. Bold, audacious steps are necessary to wake people up.
10. I believe that such a step is to challenge the Jewish community through restoring an ancient, long forgotten Jewish holiday initially related to the sacrificing of animals and transforming it into one that aims to increase awareness of Judaism’s powerful teachings on compassion to animals.
Kudos to Dr. Schwartz for planting seeds of compassion! I am honored to be able to participate in this historic event!
Fabulous. I am the past president of the Albany Vegetarian Network, Albany, NY.
May I post this initiative on FB where I have many vegan/vegetarian friends and many others I would like to make aware of this. Non-Jewish community, but harbor the same sentiments.
the Animal in Judaism – Initiative i.e. “Initiative Jüdischer Tierschutz” und “Trialog 4 Animals e.V.” in Germany supports the campaign to Restore the Ancient New Year for Animals!

Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation and damage to the joints. Increased activity of the pro-inflammatory pathways and auto-antibodies results in damage to the synovium, cartilage and bone.1 This can occur in any joint, but the hands and feet are commonly affected. The disease can also have extra-articular manifestations, including interstitial lung disease and scleritis. The severity of the disease varies between patients, and it is often associated with functional impairment and reduced mobility.
There is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with RA and patients have a higher risk of myocardial infarction. This is not fully explained by the traditional modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Chronic systemic inflammation has been demonstrated to accelerate atherosclerosis, and this increased risk is related to the severity and duration of RA. In severe RA, the increased risk is comparable to that seen in diabetes. In addition cardiovascular risk is increased with the long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment, including cyclo-oxygenase-II (COX-II) inhibitors.2 Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are also more common in patients with RA. The inflammatory process associated with active RA decreases bone density and thereby increases fracture risk. Reduced mobility and prolonged treatment with steroids also increase the risk of osteoporosis. The probability of developing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis can be reduced if risk factors are identified and addressed early.
RA can have a significant impact upon the patient’s lifestyle. Pain, stiffness, fatigue and physical limitations can all result in work-related absences. Within two years of the onset of RA, one-third of patients stop work because of the disease, and this proportion continues to increase thereafter.
RA can also impact upon the patient’s relationships and activity of daily living, and there is an increased risk of depression, as in many chronic conditions.
There is a high risk of functional impairment and comorbidities, particularly in the elderly population or those with longstanding disease. Care is often co-ordinated by a rheumatology specialist nurse although the rheumatology multidisciplinary team includes specialists from occupational therapy, physiotherapy, podiatry, orthotics, pharmacy and psychology.
Health promotion, patient education and self-management plans are central principles in chronic disease management. The GP has a crucial role in the holistic care of patients with RA, and the King’s Fund has suggested that outcomes could be improved with “a more proactive approach to management among primary care professionals”.3 Implementing current guidelines and care standards demands collaboration between primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary care to achieve optimal outcomes.
In the 2013–2014 QOF, the Department of Health introduced RA as a new clinical area (see box 1). These guidelines recommend that all adults with RA are on a register within the community.
The QOF guidelines recommend a face-to-face review with similar components to those within the guidelines from NICE and the British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) “Top Ten Quality Standards for RA”.
These guidelines recommend that both the RA disease activity and severity and the impact upon functioning and lifestyle be assessed. At this point, referrals to other members of the multidisciplinary team are to be considered, including consideration of surgical intervention.
There are QOF points for assessing the risk of the comorbidities of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. In addition, the NICE guidelines also advise assessing for systemic disease, organ damage and other comorbidities such as depression. The British Society for Rheumatology also calls for an action plan to address the issues that have been identified within the annual review. The annual review also allows an opportunity to discuss self-management, healthy lifestyle and any modifiable risk factors that are identified.
It is important to assess RA disease activity and response to treatments with an objective and reproducible tool. The most widely used is the DAS28 score. It is recommended by NICE and is also used to assess eligibility for biologic therapy.
The intention of treatment is to suppress disease activity, and the target is a DAS28 score of less than 3.2. The DAS28 score is useful in guiding escalation of treatment to control disease, or guide cautious withdrawal of treatment when disease is controlled. However, it is criticised for excluding assessment of the feet or systemic complications. Treatment decisions should be made with the rheumatologist, but options include combination DMARDs, short-term adjuvant corticosteroids or biologic therapy.
Pain management is another important facet of managing RA, and includes simple analgesics, NSAIDs and COX-II inhibitors. Consideration of TENS machine, wax baths and orthotics are included in the guidance and are examples of the central role that the multidisciplinary team plays in pain management.
The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) gives a composite score from patient reported outcomes to quantify functional ability. This questionnaire covers activities of daily living such as washing, walking and eating.
The assessment of disease activity and functional ability at the annual review gives an opportunity to compare the patient’s disease from one year to the next and to determine whether onward referral or support would be useful.
The QOF guidelines also specifically mention considering surgery. The patient may also benefit from other members of the multidisciplinary team, such as occupational therapy or physiotherapy.
The employer is required to make “reasonable adjustments” which can be recommended by occupational therapists and physiotherapists. When patients experience flares of the disease, prompt access to medical care can minimise absence. There is relevant information and support available for patients to access, and the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) website specifically has booklets about employment for both the patient and their employer.
and has a patient self-management course.
• During the last month, have you often been bothered by feeling down, depressed or hopeless?
• During the last month, have you often been bothered by having little interest or pleasure in doing things?
If the patient answers yes to either, then further assessment and intervention should be considered.
The modifiable risk factors within the QRISK2 algorithm are smoking status, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol/HDL ratio and body mass index. Cardiovascular risk assessment provides an opportunity for these modifiable risk factors to be addressed, including a personalised self-management plan. Anti-hypertensive and lipid-lowering medication should be considered, along with weight management programmes where appropriate.
Smoking is associated with poor prognosis for patients with RA, and as well as other important concerns (including cardiovascular, malignancy and fracture risk), it is particularly important to promote smoking cessation and provide further support within the community setting.
The management of RA demands a holistic, multidisciplinary approach. The annual review provides an opportunity to address health promotion and co-ordinate different aspects of care, and these new guidelines provide a framework for this. The key topics to include in the RA annual review are the assessment of disease activity and functional ability, the impact of RA upon the patient’s life and whether referrals to other members of the multidisciplinary team would be beneficial. Risk assessment for cardiovascular disease and osteoporotic fractures should result in specific interventions to reduce the risk of developing these common comorbidities. Collaboration between primary and secondary care for the annual review should improve outcomes for patients with RA. | 2019-04-23T02:51:16Z | https://www.gmjournal.co.uk/the-annual-review-for-rheumatoid-arthritis |
I'm new to this forum, and I apologize in advance if this is a repeat question.
If I understand correctly, the 3D structure of Dramatica should line up properly. So, for instance, if my Overall Story Goal is Conceiving an Idea (within the Psychology class), then if I go one level down (to Variations), I see a quad of Permission/Deficiency, Expediency/Need. This seems to differ (in terminology) from the Narrative First article. They assign a quad in the Mind quad (Certainty/Potentiality and Probability/Possibility) that is in a DIFFERENT TYPE.
And then I realized that there's an app called Subtext, which may or may not have different terms from Dramatica, but they still seem related somehow, because the author of Narrative First articles seems to be an expert in Dramatica.
Have the terms changed since the Dramatica book was placed online? Is Subtext a different beast altogether?
Thank you for your help. I may be simply looking at things incorrectly.
The 3D Model aligns correctly when the world it is exploring is balanced. Since stories are about inequities, imbalances, the model twists and turns, like a 4D Rubik's Cube*, to represent the universe of the story. That is the strangeness that you are seeing in that article.
The specifics of how this model twists and turns is proprietary knowledge to the company that created Dramatica. Thus, the Dramatica program is used to reveal the results. Within the program is a report called the Plot Sequence Report. That is where you see those results.
*No, that's not a typo. The model combines space and time, and so you have 4 Dimensions, instead of 3.
@Hunter OK, that makes sense. I noticed in the Dramatica book, the authors briefly touched on this, but they didn't dwell on it long (enough to explain it). So, in other words, you need to program to do it for you?
And do you know anything about Subtext? Is this Dramatica-as-an-app or completely unrelated?
First of all to clarify: Jim Hull (@jhull) is a Dramatica Story Expert who writes Narrative First and does the Narrative First podcast. Subtext is his app/service which is entirely based on Dramatica but adds features, functionality, masterclasses, etc. and is designed in part to simplify and make Dramatica accessible as a tool for people who just want to jump in and write in addition to helping to understanding the theory (which can take a while).
Regarding your questions on terminology, I'm not completely sure I understand your question. You're correct that the Issues (Variations) under the Concern of Conceiving are Permission, Deficiency, Expediency, and Need.
Certainty/Potentiality are the Problem and Solution under the Psychology quad.
It's alright. Seems that I cross-cross-posted... Plus, you answered a part of the question I missed. The fact that those articles will sometimes skip through a level, and hop to the bottom of the model. Thanks!
Subtext is run by @jhull and relies on reports from the Dramatica program, and analyses done using the Dramatica theory. If the Dramatica theory is Mathematics, then Subtext is Physics. The theory holds the information and structure, while Subtext focuses on the application. I use it for that very reason.
Problem Solving-Style --> Search this forum for information on this one.
These are the only changes that I am aware of currently, but you'll find that they mean effectively the same thing. The truth is that some stories are more amenable to the original terminology, while others are more amenable to the switched up terminology. Overall, though, you'll be fine using the original terminology.
As @Lakis, said, though, Jim is a Certified Dramatica Story Expert, so that's important to know, too.
@Lakis, okay so I think I hadn't gone far enough into the Appendices (of the Dramatica book) to see there's a whole "floor" of Psychology Elements. Duh. I see them now.
And do you use Subtext alone? Or with Dramatica software? How do you like it/them, if you don't mind saying?
If the Dramatica theory is Mathematics, then Subtext is Physics. The theory holds the information and structure, while Subtext focuses on the application. I use it for that very reason.
That makes sense! Do you use Subtext alone or with Dramatica software? Thanks for all your help!
I use both but I'm a Dramatica nerd.
I think purchasing the Dramatica software is a worthwhile investment if you're going down this path at all. Aside from the proprietary stuff (like Signpost order), it's really hard to understand the theory without plugging things in and seeing how it fits together.
Subtext has an awesome outlining feature.
You could just use Subtext if you're okay with picking a premise/storyform from a story that has already been analyzed. (EDIT: Which is totally fine BTW and maybe even recommended).
But even then I would recommend having the Dramatica software if nothing else to help understand how it works.
I use both. Many of the stories I write have a Storyform that is either uncommon or has not yet been written. (With the fact that I can barely find movies that I enjoy, and there are over 32,000 Storyforms, it's no wonder that I write the odd ones out.) Thus, I need the Dramatica program to actually figure out how the model gets twisted. In other words, there are no stories analyzed in Subtext that match the Storyforms that I have.
From here, I use Subtext to work out the feel of more difficult parts of my story. By using Subtext, I can load up the reports from Dramatica, and get a basic outline. I modify that outline with the tools in Subtext, using gists and re-arranging story beats to better match my idea. Since Jim's service divides up a story into a structurally appropriate outline, it can also ensure that you don't move things in a way that would break that structure. Once I've finished with that, I may or may not move to a more free-form program, depending on the story I'm writing.
The treatment that you can get from Subtext can be very useful, and for some stories, I'll actually use that. For others, I'll need a deeper outline than the treatment provided by Subtext, but it makes for a good starting point in those cases. Thus, there is use in both.
Also, I totally agree with @lakis. I think we are, in effect, saying the same thing from different points of view and experience.
Good to know! It's always good to hear people enjoy using something. I'm more apt to purchase it then, if it will help me learn the theory! Thank you for your help!
Thus, there is use in both.
While I did switch to Changed for Main Character Resolve (because it makes more sense to me when you look at the end of the story to determine the resolve, is it Steadfast, or is it Changed? Plus, it helps to differentiate it from the narrative Element of Change, something altogether different), I have yet to make those other changes to terms Hunter marks down. Things like Uncontrolled to Free or Non-Acceptance to Rejection. Eventually, I'll have an option to do that, but not quite yet.
The whole purpose of Subtext is to provide a practical approach to using Dramatica. I have a ton of experience helping writers across all mediums (screenplays, novels, games) and wanted to put that in a form that could benefit everyone. The theory is not all that complicated, and you can see a significant improvement in your writing, IF you concentrate on the big parts first--that's what Subtext does.
The one thing that was briefly mentioned that I need to write about more are the weekly classes (the Writers Room). Every week on Thursday we get together for an hour to go over intricacies of the theory or like we did this last week, analyze a script on the Blacklist and figure out why it's there and not in theaters. I had no idea this would turn out to be as fruitful and as exciting as I though it would be when I started. We learn so much in the open forum discussion that just isn't possible here or in a podcast. We already have 40+ hours in the archives, and I have no intention of stopping!
@jhull Yes, I think Subtext would help me re-outline my novel. I've already written it, but I've failed in ways that I already have reasons for (ugh), and I think the Dramatica theory would help to set a strong foundation for a major rewrite. So, I guess the last question I would have for you (and @Hunter already answered this a little, I believe) is: do I start with Subtext, or start with Dramatica to get the theory down, then export into Subtext? Am I thinking of this correctly?
And sadly, I don't live in LA (I'm assuming the writers' group is there?), so I'll have to follow online.
I would start with Subtext--Dramatica isn't really something you get down, it takes a long time to become proficient with it. Subtext short-changes that process by making a lot of assumptions about what you want to write and the kind of outline you're looking for. Then, once you're feeling strong with it and want and/or need complete control over everything, I would move to Dramatica.
Subtext is designed for beginners, but has the tools available for more seasoned writers.
@jhull, I've subscribed to Subtext, but I don't see Fault in Our Stars as a movie example (I think this is the closest example I can come up with, in regards to my novel), and I can't seem to work from scratch in Subtext (to fill in the details myself), so this requires Dramatica, correct?
If Fault isn’t there, it’s an oversight on my part. I’ve done a lot of analyses over the years on Narrative First, but some I’ve overlooked.
I can easily upload that one quickly this afternoon for you.
But yes, if you want to start completely from scratch, and not rely on genre or premise to find your story’s structure, Dramatica is what you want.
@jhull, oh, that's so generous! Yes, I would love for you to upload that for me, if you don't mind, but I know it's a lot of work. If you can't fit it in, I'm planning on buying Dramatica anyway. I just wanted to be sure this works for me (I'm sure it will!) before I splurge on everything.
It would probably take me longer than it would take you, since I'm new to this, but that's okay. I'm planning on learning everything for several weeks, just so I feel secure in what I'm doing.
My last name is Elliott, and I just signed up today (for Subtext) if you'd rather email me! You can find me in your database, I'm sure!
And you should definitely buy Dramatica--speaking from personal experience, it's a small investment in what will eventually become a greater understanding of how story works and by proxy--how we work.
It more than pays for itself 1000x--externally and internally.
@jhull, just purchased Dramatica, so I'm on my way! | 2019-04-20T04:44:55Z | http://discuss.dramatica.com/t/fault-in-our-stars-analysis-on-narrative-first/2387 |
Influencer marketing has emerged as one of the more effective ways for brands to spark engagement, drive brand awareness and reach audiences via digital platforms. And with the option growing in popularity, social media giants like Facebook are now looking to better facilitate such connection, enabling improved, transparent brand campaigns which deliver better advertiser results.
Facebook’s latest initiative to foster influencer marketing is its new Brand Collabs Manager tool, which helps to connect brands with relevant content creators for such purpose.
Through the platform, brands have the option of finding influencers who have similar audiences based on various factors (age, gender, interests). These influencers – who have follower counts ranging from 25,000 to 8 million people – also have access to insights and data, making it easier for brands to assess their actual reach and capacity, helping to find the right match.
So how will this impact the world of influencer marketing? In this post, we’ll take a look at how brands can leverage the new platform to fuel up their influencer marketing strategies, and get the most out of their efforts.
Brand Collabs Manager enables businesses to establish improved connection with influencers who align with their brand values, vision, and purpose.
Influencers can set up a portfolio that’s connected to their Facebook Page, and present campaigns where they’ve collaborated with brands and incorporated messages and products into their content.
The top relevant creators will also have a percentage match on their profile thumbnail, depending on your listed requirements, while you can also be able to see their audience reach, and set an audience match to see how it compares to yours. From there, you can choose any influencer or group of influencers.
Identifying the right person to represent your brand is vital – influencers with a massive following aren’t always the right fit for your audience. Always remember that quality trumps quantity when determining the right creators to partner with.
The pillar of any effective marketing strategy is exceptional content – and that’s no different for influencer marketing.
Influencers are content creators who have become exceptionally successful with their craft – brands should not only focus on the influencers they’re looking to partner with, but even more so, the content they publish, and how that might work in representing their brand. Effective content is authentic, resonates with the target audience and represents both sides well.
With the influx of brands and influencers, you need to get creative to break through the noise and stand out. Think of compelling ways to reach your audience by leveraging various channels and formats.
Facebook is constantly working to filter out fake content and accounts, in order to ensure users only see transparent and authentic content. This is because consumers want authenticity from brands more than ever.
If you think of influencer marketing as a quick way to amp up sales, you’ll quickly fail. Every influencer should be a true brand ambassador, not just a paid spokesperson.
Instead of partnering with big-name influencers for temporary projects, invest in establishing genuine, long-term relationships with those who truly align with your brand’s vision. Create an authentic relationship with your creator – they’ll feel that you’re more invested in the partnership, and in return, they may also become more invested and be more loyal to your brand.
This kind of relationship will help both sides create content that genuinely resonates with your target audience and which doesn’t come off super salesy.
Personalized marketing efforts have never been more important, and with Facebook’s access to a wealth of data on individual consumers, brands have the opportunity to ramp up their personalization efforts.
Brand Collabs Manager opens up the door for even better-targeted experiences – by serving more engaging ads and individualized content, the audience you’re reaching through influencers will likely be impressed and intrigued to discover more about your brand.
In order to gauge your success with influencer marketing and Brand Collabs Manager, you need to consistently measure your data and analytics in order to evaluate how users are reacting to your campaigns.
By using Facebook to track your performance, you’ll be able to better understand the type of content that works, which doesn’t, and what CTAs drive conversion. This will, in turn, help you focus on driving measurable results which boost ROI.
The launch of Facebook’s Brand Collabs Manager emphasizes just how significant influencer marketing has become – and really, the option is growing to form a crucial part of any successful digital marketing strategy.
Brand Collabs Manager is only open to a few brands creators at this stage, but it will soon be available to all. We predict that it will become a major disruption to the state of influencer marketing – and if used properly, it’ll maximize the quality of partnerships between the two parties and drive better ROI. | 2019-04-20T03:06:33Z | https://mediastreet.ie/21918-2/ |
A Year of Being Here: Albert Huffstickler: "The Edge of Doubt"
"The Edge of Doubt" by Albert Huffstickler. Text as published in Journal for Anthroposophy (Fall, 1994).

The month of March was action-packed in the streetwear world. Not only did all of the giants (Supreme, BAPE, Palace, Kith) drop at their weekly cadence, we also saw drops from several other brands that are working their way into the regular rotation. Artists/ Brands like KAWS and FTP added to their catalog and we even added some newly delivered artist merchandise. Among the new adds came the addition of a collaboration between Supreme and Louis Vuitton that had previously been missing from our catalog. Scroll down to check out what we added this month and don’t forget to click the photos to shop.
Likely the largest new streetwear add in March came under the umbrella of one of StockX’s most popular brands, Supreme. Announced in early 2017 and released during the summer of the same year, Supreme x Louis Vuitton is one of the streetwear brand’s more memorable and significant collaborations of late. Approved and released under the direction of then-creative-director, Kim Jones, the collaboration sold out everywhere instantly, even despite the high retail pricing. Now, sometime later, the pieces have become rare and fakes abound, making the collection’s add to our catalog a no-brainer. For authentic Supreme x LV, shop on StockX here.
KAWS is on a roll and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Since November, the artist has dropped some kind of collectible at least once a month, but in March, he delivered two. The first was his Along The Way figure, dropped on March 5th, which features two companions, one helping the other to stay standing (think “Lean On Me”, the song by Bill Withers or “Lean On Me”, the 1989 film featuring Morgan Freeman). Second came the KAWS Holiday drop featuring apparel and collectibles, including 20” plushes. Shop everything KAWS released in March here.
It feels like Travis Scott may have legitimately not rested since before the summer of last year. After dropping his album last August (alongside tons of merch), he immediately left to go on tour, which concluded last month. Throughout his many tour stops, he released merchandise as well, often dropping pieces exclusive to the cities he was in. Among these exclusive merch releases were drops in both Dover Street Market New York and pieces exclusive to his show at the Barclays Center.
Touring and dropping even more unique merch was apparently not enough to satisfy Mr. La Flame. Alongside his extensive touring activities, he dropped several other items deemed worthy of a StockX catalog add. The first was a “Sicko Mode Remix” Cassette Tape, released on March 20th, via Scott’s website. The other was a collaboration on a small capsule of Houston Rockets merchandise with Bleacher Report and Mitchell & Ness, featuring a jersey and two tees. Shop everything Travis brought us in March here.
Much like one of their customers turning in an assignment in school, FTP delivered their SS19 collection at what was almost the latest possible moment in March, on the 30th. The collection itself comes in strong, featuring several items of significance, including several items that play off of Ralph Lauren’s iconic Polo Bear. The standout item is the pullover hoodie, available in navy and charcoal, featuring something like the Polo Bear, but wearing a ski mask and other FTP gear. Needless to say, the featured bear’s parents are very likely disappointed in its life choices. The entire collection is available on StockX here.
The second of Sicko’s apparel releases, the high-powered, celebrity-endorsed brand dropped both men’s and womenswear in March. Featuring red, black, cement, and navy colorways, this was the brands most expansive release of it’s relatively short life. Highlights include the Navy Tee, the Black Zip-Up Hoodie, and the Tomato Red Hoodie. Shop the whole collection here.
In 2018, there were several #beentrill-esque items that came from seemingly nowhere but could be seen on everyone’s favorite celebs and influencers. Both of those brands have been featured here, the first of which being Sicko, worn by nearly all of the founders best friends in what now seems like something of a quick cash grab. The second of these has existed in the streetwear world with far more subtlety. With what is still a very cloudy brand message and ethos, Psychworld has dropped their second hoodie, titled “Dream State”. The hoodie fits in nicely with the current rising tie dye trend and features graphics that work nicely with the garment’s coloring as well. Shop the hoodie here.
Japanese Boutique, atmos, had a busy March, working with Nike on two different projects, both of which were added to our catalog. The first of these was in collaboration with Nike Athlete, Lebron James on a tee, pair of shorts, and crossbody bag and the second was a collaboration with Nike Proper on all different kinds of apparel. Everything added from Atmos in March can be shopped here.
Billie Eilish has come out of seemingly nowhere. The 17 year old LA-based artist has taken the Pop world by storm, releasing her highly touted debut album just weeks ago. Her image is that of teen angst and self-discovery, leading her to work with several artists outside of music on a modeling and more visual mediums. One of these artists is Takashi Murakami, who styled the artist for a Garage Magazine cover and also designed some of the artist’s album merch. The Murakami designed artist merch can be shopped on StockX here. | 2019-04-21T07:08:00Z | https://stockx.com/news/new-add-supreme-louis-vuitton-kaws-travis-scott-ftp/ |

It goes all the way back to the 1920s, like a famous game in 1920, when Cardinals punter Paddy Driscoll did everything he could to kick away from the most important rookie in NFL history, the Bears' Red Grange. The Lions started entertaining foes on Turkey Day every year starting in 1934, facing that same Chicago team (with Grange in his last year). After a brief hiatus during World War II, the holiday tradition resumed with the Lions hosting the Rams in 1945. That would be a day known for Jim Benton posting over 300 yards receiving. That record would stand until the Chiefs' Stephone Paige broke it 40 years later.
It wasn't until 1969 that Detroit hosted the Vikings, a game where the weather conditions got progressively worse until the field was covered in snow in the second half.
Just three years prior to that, the Cowboys started their own Thanksgiving Day tradition, besting the Browns behind Don Meredith's passing and Don Perkins' 100-yard rushing day. Dallas' opponents this Thanksgiving will be the Chargers, who first played on Thanksgiving in 1964 against the Bills. Interesting matchup, given that they would play again in the AFL Championship Game a month later.
Actually, the Chargers and Bills would face off the following Thanksgiving and meet in the championship later that year ... again. If either are to make the postseason this year, they had better get wins this weekend. You'll see both of those picks below, along with the Lions and Vikings and everybody else. Even the Browns. Much thanks for your take ... @HarrisonNFL is the place.
Marcus Mariota leads a late drive with a couple of clutch scampers to put the Titans ahead. Jacoby Brissett tries to answer with no timeouts, but he can't get Adam Vinatieri in range for a makeable try (55 yards). That's how I see this AFC South fight playing out. Tennessee fans would like their team to exert its will in the division, but Mike Mularkey's crew simply isn't there yet. The Colts haven't rolled over for anyone since getting embarrassed in that ill-fated second half in Seattle in Week 4. Either way, with the Jaguars playing a very winnable game in Arizona, this is a huge contest for the AFC South. All those people clamoring for the Titans to be higher on the Power Rankings might be surprised to know that the Titans are the only team with a winning record and a negative point differential this season. It's not my fault.
The score reads like it's going to be a near blowout, but I don't think it'll get out of control until late, when Mitchell Trubisky is forced to get the Bears back in the game. As long as this deal stays within 10 points, Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen will see the vast majority of the offensive work. Alfred Morris made hay against the Eagles last Sunday night, until the game situation took him out. Philadelphia will have trouble with the Chicago backs. Although not enough trouble, apparently.
Wentz watch: Carson Wentz joined Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to have at least 25 touchdown passes and five or fewer interceptions in the first 10 games of the season. Both those dudes pulled it off twice, though.
This AFC East "battle" could turn into garbage quite fast. (Not gonna say hot garbage, as I've seen enough Dumpster fire tweets to steer me away from the genre for awhile.) While it's easy to consider the mismatch to be Brady versus the Miami secondary, Matt Patricia's defense has been balling since early October. And the Dolphins' offense has been sucking since early September. The difference can be seen in a stat I developed with the help of @RealJackAndrade: N3P, or net positive play percentage. Tom Brady generates net positive plays (positive plays minus harmful plays) a staggering 39.9 percent of the time, which leads the league. Jay Cutler is way in the back at 28.2. He's currently ahead of Mitchell Trubisky, Joe Flacco, Mike Glennon, DeShone Kizer and Tom Savage.
The Bucs have played well in Atlanta in the recent past, winning there in each of the last two years. Tampa can make it three straight if it gets a few meaty kick returns. If you caught "Monday Night Football" this week, you might have noticed -- besides missing Giff, Howwwwwwerd Co-sale and Danny Don -- that the Falcons' kick coverage was downright terrible. This is a Doug Martin game. If he gets going for the Bucs, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be Fitzmagic. If not, he'll force throws and be Fitztragic. Appreciate that terrible pun. It's Thanksgiving week. People acknowledge cranberry sauce this time of year, and cranberry sauce is gross.
Back to Fitzpatrick: He ranks 10th in the N3P metric I designed with the help of @RealJackAndrade. Because Fitzpatrick has rushed for four first downs and thrown just three picks (with zero fumbles lost) in addition to being an efficient passer, his N3P is at 35.7 percent -- ahead of Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford and Russell Wilson.
The Bengals offense is due for a breakout game. Andy Dalton is actually posting one of his better seasons, mostly because he's really picked up his play over the last month. A.J. Green's production has been uneven, largely as a result of Dalton's inconsistency early, plus the lack of a major threat opposite him. Rookie running back Joe Mixon has flashed, but as of yet hasn't offered a signature performance to justify all of the pre-draft hype. His 2.9 yards per carry is flashy in a blocking fullback kind of way. As for Cleveland, can DeShone Kizer put more points on the board? This Cincy secondary is nowhere near as good as the Jags back five he struggled against last week. Same could be said for the Bengals' pass rush.
The Bengals' rushing attack is much worse than that of any team in the league. Their 68.0 rushing yards per game would be the lowest since the 2000 Chargers and 2000 Browns (they tried to see who could be less effective). Then there's Cincy's horrific 2.98 yards per carry. That would be the lowest since the 1994 Patriots. That's why Drew Bledsoe set the record for most pass attempts in a game that year. Bill Parcells loved running the football. But not that much, man.
I know the Chiefs have struggled, losing four of their last five games, but they're due for a fun outing. Bills coach Sean McDermott could make it an even better day for Kansas City by, I don't know, signing Jeff Tuel and sending him out there. Maybe make a trade for Austin Davis. Perhaps, in sitting Tyrod Taylor and starting rookie Nathan Peterman against the Chargers last week, McDermott was trying to send a message to his team that no player was above being benched after the debacle(s) against the Jets and Saints. Well, Peterman threw five first-half picks and Taylor isn't riding the pine anymore. It will be interesting to see how Taylor responds at a tough place to play like Arrowhead. How will Chiefs back Kareem Hunt play after yet another so-so game? After posting at least 100 yards from scrimmage in his first seven games, the rookie workhorse has failed to hit that mark in any of the last three contests.
The Seahawks try to keep pace with the Rams in advance of their Week 15 meeting in Seattle. They had better not look past these 49ers, who are coming off both a win and a bye. The first question is whether the visiting Seahawks will play any better in the secondary without their stars than they did versus the Falcons. Kam Chancellor -- who might miss the rest of the season with a neck injury -- makes a huge difference in the run game, which San Francisco revived against the Giants in Week 10. None of that matters, because Russell Wilson will probably pull this contest out in the fourth quarter. His passer rating during that super-relevant part of the game is a superhuman 133.0. That is off the charts this deep into the season.
Scoring might be higher in this contest, although New Orleans' defense has been stout for the balance of the season, and the Rams' unit has really come on over the last six games. Neither played particularly well last week. Wade Phillips' group struggled with those talented Vikings wideouts, playing without a full deck in the secondary. The Saints can empathize, as the absence of cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (who left early last week with an ankle injury) and Delvin Breaux ( on injured reserve) really hurt against Kirk Cousins. New Orleans won't have the home crowd to lean on this week, but either way, this should be a fantastic matchup.
Fun fact: The Saints and Rams are two of the three teams in the league that can boast both a top-10 rushing offense and top-10 passing offense this season (the Chiefs are the other). Only two squads could claim that last year: the Patriots and Falcons. You might have heard that they played in the Super Bowl.
Arizona quarterback Blaine Gabbert faces his former team. Get excited. Jacksonville defensive lineman Calais Campbell is doing the same. Actually, that is pretty cool. Campbell is enjoying a career year with the Jaguars, pacing the league in sacks with 11.5. The odd aspect of that prolific sack total is that he's never posted double-digit sacks in any given prior season in his lengthy career. Granted, the difference in scheme, as well as the talent of the Jags' secondary, has made a huge difference. Jacksonville is on pace for 64 sacks, which is unbelievable in this era of dinks and dunks and none-yard outs. The Cards can slow that pass-rush down if Adrian Peterson can average more than a yard per carry. If not, look out. Jacksonville could become only the third team in the last 25 years to lead the league in both scoring defense and takeaways. The other two -- the 2000 Ravens and the 2013 Seahawks -- won the Super Bowl.
The Raiders get back on track, although the kind of offensive onslaught we've waited for all season doesn't happen this week, either. Maybe Marshawn Lynch will create a different kind of uproar ... by actually rushing for 100 yards. That way, Derek Carr can generate completions downfield off play-action as opposed to obvious passing situations. Carr shouldn't have to play much keep up with Paxton Lynch. The latter will try to help the Broncos try to avoid their seventh straight loss this season, which is incredible, given the talent on that roster.
(Not) fun fact: Raiders opponents are completing 72.3 percent of their passes while compiling a 113.3 passer rating. Both of those numbers would be second highest since the AFL-NFL merger. Maybe the Raiders should never have merged.
This interconference matchup could get awfully ugly awful fast, like, ridiculously fast ( LUDICROUS SPEED!!!!!!), if the Packers go three-and-out and the Steelers' offense calls back to last week's scoring bonanza. Granted, much of Pittsburgh's windfall last Thursday night came off of Titans turnovers -- but Brett Hundley might be this week's Marcus Mariota 2.0. Hundley often tries to make plays out of the pocket a la the guy in front of him on the depth chart, to varied results (that's one way to put it). For all the handwringing over the Steelers' offense, they have put up at least 300 net yards in every game since Oct. 1. Points haven't come in bunches, partially because of interceptions, stalled drives and poor red-zone scoring. Somewhat under the radar (is anything ever over the radar?): Pittsburgh's win over Tennessee ensured that Mike Tomlin would finish at least .500 for the 11th consecutive season, his entire tenure in the league. Only famed Rams and Redskins head coach George Allen has more (12) without ever suffering a losing campaign.
Would like to predict a better outcome for the Texans, who battled their way back into the playoff race with a win over the Cardinals. This is a tough matchup for Tom Savage. The Ravens' defense gives everyone fits, and when they've faltered, it's largely been due to an anemic offense. Baltimore's passing game flat stinks. The ground attack has fared miserably as of late. Consider their rushing totals in three of their last four games (minus an outlier against the Dolphins in Week 8): 64 yards against the Vikings, 73 against the Titans and 58 against the Packers. Houston must force turnovers. That's not a strength for a group that misses J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus.
Fun fact: The Ravens are the first team since the 2000 Ravens to record three shutouts in the first 10 games of the season.
Think this will be a whale of a Thanksgiving game. It was entertaining last year, right up until the point that Darius Slay picked off Sam Bradford to save the day for the Lions. It might have been the deciding play in Detroit reaching the playoffs and Minnesota staying home. I anticipate Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen making their presence felt against Slay and his secondary comrades in the second half. Now, it should be noted that the Lions have won four straight on Thanksgiving -- but Detroit hasn't taken five in a row on Turkey Day since the six-game run they had from 1950 to 1955, with Bobby Layne, Doak Walker and the boys.
Going to go with the Cowboys, who have been historically great on Thanksgiving Day, posting a 30-18-1 record overall. Can't really say that Dallas is any better than the visiting Chargers, but the home-field advantage on Thanksgiving has proven formidable over the years. Last year, the Redskins outplayed the Cowboys up and down the field, gaining over 500 yards of offense, and lost. If Dallas is to win, Dak Prescott will have to develop some pocket awareness. Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram were so effective for the Chargers last week that Bosa started feeling sorry for Nathan Peterman. Speaking of, since Week 5, Los Angeles has posted the best sack differential (plus-12) and turnover differential (plus-10) in pro football. Actually, they're tied on the sack differential front. Who cares? They done good.
Wouldn't it be something if the Giants pulled off another upset four days after upending the Chiefs? In order to do that, they must get pressure on Kirk Cousins, who has played at a high level all season, despite a banged-up offensive line, no Jordan Reed and inconsistency galore from the rest of his pass-catchers. Washington is slowly getting healthier, and despite them being on a short week, I like the Redskins at home. Back to Kirk's hard luck for a second: Cousins is on pace to become the second quarterback in NFL history to start 10 or more games in a season with a 100-plus passer rating and a losing record.

Nunney Castle: Moated castle, built in the late 14th century from profits made in the Hundred Years War. Described as the most aesthetically pleasing castle in Somerset.
Glastonbury Tor: An ancient hill, which is connected to King Arthur and Guinevere, where two ancient, sacred geomagnetic lines of Michael and Mary combine – the only male and female energy lines found together and of course the Tor is thought to be the Isles of Avalon. Many people have also reported unusual, and magical happenings on the Tor – perhaps you will too?
Glastonbury Chalice Well: situated right between the Tor and the Chalice Hill the sacred and enchanting Chalice Gardens in Glastonbury hold one of the UK’s oldest wells. The Chalice Well and Gardens have been a place of respite, meditation and peace for the last two thousand years for many thousands of people. Admission £4.30 / £3.50.

Wells: England’s smallest city, medieval Wells is enchanting with it’s glorious 13th Century Cathedral. The city, which can be traced back to Roman times, takes its name from the small springs which bubbled up and which can still be found in the gardens of the wonderful moated Bishops residence.

Will the next Lexus LS debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show?
If you’re an automotive luxury brand, there are certain things you simply must have to be taken seriously. One of those things is a big flagship model, the kind that can be used for shuttling dignitaries around and showcasing the latest technology.
For Lexus, that model is the LS. It launched the brand over two decades ago with a combination of luxury features and impeccable build quality that put Mercedes-Benz to shame. Fast forward to 2015, though, and the current LS isn’t nearly as competitive.
Lexus may be working on rectifying that. It will unveil a new LS at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show in October, reports Australia’s Motoring, along with a high-end coupe model.
Little is known about the next LS, but it will probably feature more radical styling than the current model. Lexus has upped the style factor (some would argue too much) in models like the IS, RC, and NX in an attempt to outrun its reputation for building boring cars. It seems logical that the model that arguably defines Lexus would be a part of that.
Lexus will also have to conduct an equally thorough overhaul when it comes to technology. The current LS introduced features like semi-automated parking, but even that has trickled down to much cheaper mainstream models. The LS will need a new array of gadgets to compete with such tech-laden sedans as the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
As for powertrains, the current options of a standalone V8 and a hybrid system will probably remain. There are rumors that the LS will adopt Lexus parent Toyota’s hydrogen fuel-cell technology, but considering the current lack of hydrogen fueling stations, that probably won’t happen until later into the production run.
The LC will reportedly be offered in LC 500 guise with a standalone V8, and as the LC 500h with a hybrid system built around the same engine. They will be good for 470 and 540 horsepower, respectively. We wouldn’t bet against a hot LC F version, either.
If the reports prove accurate, the Lexus LS and LC will appear in Tokyo this October, and the coupe will go into production in November 2016. The sedan may arrive a bit earlier. | 2019-04-19T07:28:52Z | https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/lexus-flagship-ls-may-finally-get-a-refit-for-the-2015-tokyo-motor-show/ |

The logo of a company is what reinforces the personality of the brand. A good logo brings alive what the company stands for and attracts prospective customers. The logo should have an appeal that brings the customers closer to not just the product but the company on the whole.
The design should be simple and attractive. A modern art that cannot convey the message in a simple way cannot connect with the audience and therefore does not serve its purpose.
It should be versatile and appropriate to what the company stands for. It should not be a random design but one with meaning and a message.
A timeless logo is a very powerful one. It stays in the memory of the customer longer and therefore instils confidence. A logo that changes, again and again, makes the customer believe that the owner of the company is just as fickle minded and reckless. | 2019-04-19T12:18:20Z | http://bobbychitrakar.com/quality.html |
While you’re reading this blog, turn your glance upward to the address bar. You’ll see the website’s name and the world wide web (www) at the front, but before all of that, you’ll see the protocol in the form of letters with a colon and backslashes. This indicates the way that the information you’re viewing on your webpage was sent to your device.
The two most notable website protocols to consider are HTTP and HTTPS. These stand for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, respectively. Both of these are used to show that a hypertext page was used to transmit the information from its source to your web browser. As you might have guessed, however, HTTPS has an additional layer of security that keeps prying eyes away from seeing the data as it’s in transit.
Why Do We Use Protocols?
To understand how protocol works, we’ll use the example of two children; one of them throws a baseball, while the other is prepared to catch a frisbee. Of course, the two are incredibly different things, which complicates the actual act of catching it. The situation is quite similar for a computer. If a device is only preparing to receive 8-bit packets whereas the data sent is in 16-bit packets, things aren’t going to work according to plan.
By thinking about it in this sense, it’s easy to see that the protocol is designed to give the device an idea of the data it’s about to receive so that it can be both sent and retrieved successfully.
How Important is Protocol for the Average User?
If you’re not the one responsible for programming or network administration within your organization, then it’s likely that you won’t need to know much about protocol. However, it doesn’t hurt to remember that you should only enter data into a web form (particularly sensitive information) if the device is using a secure connection through HTTPS. For other questions or concerns you might have about protocol, be sure to reach out to us at 301-571-5040. | 2019-04-18T18:16:24Z | https://washingtonworks.net/blog/tech-term-protocol |
American History unfolds as decade after decade of car models, memorabilia, and collectibles come to life. Over eight decades of cars are displayed in themed settings such as the Golden Gate Bridge, an Art Deco hotel, a gas service station, a covered bridge, Battery Park in New York, and more. From the timeless beauty and classic elegance of Model T’s and Thunderbirds, to the rough and tumble of muscle cars and motorcycles, to the romance of rumble seats, visitors are transported through time in sections that represent the decades. America’s love affair with the automobile is constant and ever growing.
Late 1800s the Benton Harbor Motorcycle is a rare survivor from the pioneer period of American automobile development. Restoration research revealed that this may be the first vehicle in America built from scratch as an automobile as opposed to construction on a modified horse-drawn carriage. A replica of the 1896 Ford Quadricycle is on display on the Museum’s Lower Level; Ford’s first self-propelled vehicle received its name from its use of four standard bicycle wheels.
Early 1900s The Alphabet Ford Collection Henry Ford changed the world when he introduced the model T in 1909. This remarkable vehicle was standardized and mass-produced. At one time, over half the cars on the road were Model T’s. Some of these Fords were produced in limited numbers and are quite rare. On display on the lower level of the Museum are: 1903 Model A, 1904 Model B, 1905 Model C, 1906 Model F, 1907 Model R, 1908 Model K, 1908 Model S, 1909 Model T.
1920s during this decade automobile production levels reached a high that would not be seen again until the 1950’s. Lower priced cars such as the Whippet, Model A, and Plymouth helped keep many manufacturers stay in business during the Depression. At the AACA Museum visitors can see a 1928 Oldsmobile Model F28 Roadster, a Stearns Knight Five Passenger Sports Sedan, and a 1926 Packard Five Passenger Touring. Other areas of the Museum feature a 1924 Graham Brothers 1 ½-ton truck and a 1929 Stearns-Knight J-8-90 Seven Passenger Sedan.
1930s a decade that represents the highpoint of American automotive design with decorative bodies and flashy interiors. Car design followed the Art Deco inspired architecture of the period. Autos on display include the 1930 Dupont Model G Convertible, 1930 Cord L-29 Convertible, a 1936 Chrysler C-9 Airflow and a 1935 Brewster four door sedan. In other areas of the Museum, visitors can see a 1930 Buick Special, Series 40, and a 1935 Autocar 1200-gallon Fuel Tanker.
1940s a decade divided by pre-war, war production, and post war. Vehicle production stopped in 1942 as manufacturers converted to support the war effort. After the war, most manufacturers re-introduced their old models to the market that would by any new car available. AACA displays a gas station with the interior open for viewing. Also on display: a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible Coupe and a 1941 Packard Clipper Nineteenth Series.
1950s America emerges from World War II economically strengthened and automobile production sets new records. Power, size and luxury dictate the auto’s development for this decade. While large cars mark the era, the domestic compact car begins with the Nash Rambler. The Drive-In was a popular place for people to congregate in their cars to watch movies on an outdoors big screen. Part of the fun was the late-night adventure. AACA’s Drive-In scene has a variety of 50’s vehicles including a 1954 Corvette Convertible and a 1956 Chevrolet step-side pick-up truck.
1960s Manufacturers focus on internal brand identity, building new types of vehicles: personal luxury, muscle cars, pony cars, and cars with special packaging. Consumer demands and government regulations dictate changes in the industry. On display: the 1969 AMC AMX muscle car, a 1965 Chevy Corvair Convertible, a 1968 Cadillac El Dorado and more.
1970s a decade of reaction and change for the auto industry. The muscle car was eliminated by the threat of rising insurance rates, government regulations, and oil shortages. Imported cars become serious competition for Detroit. A variety of different vehicles are featured for this decade.
From Roads to Rails travel back in time as O-gauge trains chug through the idyllic Pennsylvania countryside and multiple scenes reminiscent of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.
The Museum of Bus Transportation has partnered with the Antique Auto Club of America Museum to provide museum quality displays of the bus industry – intercity, transit, and school – for the public. It also serves to showcase the industry’s growth and development in the United States and celebrate the role that the bus industry continues to play in mobility and progress of the American public.
In rural areas and in the thousands of towns and cities across the nation buses provide personal transport, carrying more persons daily than all other public modes of transportation put together. Until recently there was no national showplace for this industry to show and tell its story. The building and evolution of this industry provides a fascinating story of invention, entrepreneurship and the effort of thousands of people risking their time and capital in the hope of creating a profitable business.
The Flo Inn Café’ diners were a place where you could get the best breakfast for the best price and could be assured a full plate of whatever you ordered, straight from the kitchen, made to order. Coffee was always available fresh from the pot, hot, and served with a smile. The chef and waitresses were a part of the atmosphere and “regulars” were known by their first names. Here is where you caught up with local news, learned of the latest gossip, and started the day with friendly camaraderie. The Flo Inn Café, owned and operated by Florence Fortnoy, is an actual diner that operated from 1948 to 1983 at 2305 East Central, Wichita, Kansas. A small wall safe located just inside the door identifies this as a Valentine Diner, Aristocrat model, made in Kansas in 1940. This model was designed to be easy to operate, sold fully equipped, and was moveable, if need be, to a new location if business dropped. Outside the diner is a parked car of the era, a 1941 Plymouth P12, Convertible Coupe.
The World’s Largest Collection of Tucker Automobiles the enthusiasm and creativity that propelled Preston Tucker and his vision for the Tucker automobile is something that has captured the hearts of many. The AACA Museum is home to the David Cammack Collection which includes three 1948 Tucker ’48 vehicles, the factory Tucker test chassis, thousands of engineering drawings and blueprints, original Tucker parts, several engines and many other artifacts and displays.
Of the 51 original Tuckers produced, on 49 have survived and remain in existence.

Royal parties aren’t just for girls. This boy’s good knight birthday party by Estela, of Brazil’s Caraminholando, is full of dragons and castles and sword decorations—you know, the things boys go crazy about! The photos by Juliana Borges showcase an exciting dessert table setup, including cupcakes with medieval inspired toppers and so many creative printable elements guests would surely love.
Don’t miss out on this Knights and Dragons Birthday Party.
Backed by tall bushes, the royal dessert table was impressive! A 3-D model castle served as the centerpiece that was surrounded on nearly all sides by delicious looking desserts and medieval themed props. I love the grassy pathway to the castle and the wavy blue “moat” (actually paper cups filled with candy). Look close and you’ll see knights protecting damsels in distress. The front of the table was decked out in coat of arms images and crossing swords. Overhead, a larger coat of arms and a dragon marked the festivities.
A quick peek at the dessert table reveals amazing drink boxes with printable knight themed beverage wrappers. How genius is the drinking straw used as a sword? I think that clever touch might be my favorite detail from the party.
Fierce looking dragons are strategically placed around the dessert table. I think they are keeping a close watch over scrumptious looking cupcakes topped with printable flags, paying tribute to the guest of honor’s 4th birthday! A closer look reveals several other treats, such as custom wrapped candy bars.
I wonder if guests had to joust for their shot at the dessert table? Surely the competition for laying siege on such royal treats was intense. Check out Estela’s blog to see more details on this royally fun party!

Do you read many of these ESCO/energy efficiency reports? If you answered yes, then I guess you could probably list the table of contents without turning a page. Here is the link to download the report (PDF format) authored by WRI so you can read it yourself.
As one might expect, it provides an overview and insight for the ESCO’s and Energy Efficiency projects and market potential in India. Of course it also identifies the obstacles for future development of the ESCO’s business model and energy efficiency improvement projects. Financing for ESCO’s and business model improvements are cited as priorities.

However open source SL is great news!
I update the post, thanks!
Aha… as I understand it, SL only released the *client* as source code.
So, you won’t be able to host your SL universe for free (…thus preserving their business model based on “virtual real estate”).
I think the most important consequence of the reverse-engineering of the client (protocols) will be the ability to design SL object using off-the-shelf professional software (such as Autocad, Photoshop, etc) rather than the clumsy internal editor based on the “manual” crafting of the object performed by your avatar. | 2019-04-20T12:55:00Z | https://www.gnuband.org/2007/01/08/second_life_source_code_now_as_free_software/ |

Beardmore was founded in 1860, and its architectural ironmongery graced the grandest public buildings and finest homes in Britain and abroad. The brand is undergoing something of a revival, with an in-house team working on both historical and contemporary designs, as well as taking bespoke commissions, with products being made at Beardmore’s own foundry on the south coast. Clients include developers Candy & Candy, interior designers Nicholas Haslam and Nina Campbell, and architects SHH and Smallwood. Below, the company’s Theo Antoni offers some insights into how to successfully choose and specify ironmongery for a major project.
When do you like to get involved in a project?
We ideally like to get involved when the project budget’s been set. Once we’ve got all the information about the floor plan and door detail (such as the height and thickness of the door), we’ll design an ironmongery schedule, including all the hinges, locks, latches and door closers.
Because the door ironmongery is the last thing to be fitted, people can leave it too late – they’ve either run out of money or haven’t left enough time, because we work to a ten-week production schedule. Ironmongery is a high-value item so it needs to be in the budget early. And it’s often the things that aren’t on show, like the hinges, that are the most important: you don’t want your doors sagging because you’ve used poor-quality cheaper hinges.
Should you think about your door first, or your ironmongery first?
Work out what style of ironmongery you want before you design the door. First decide whether you want knobs or lever handles, because you’ll be designing the whole door around that. Or, fall in love with a door, but be aware that you might be restricted in your choice of ironmongery. We’re constantly advising people that their doors and ironmongery won’t work together; you don’t want to be forever banging your knuckles because they’re incompatible.
If you want massive doors, and you put them on hinges, at a certain point the door will drag. You can put a wheel on the leading edge to stop this, or have a pivoting door, with the pivot set away from the door frame – but then the gap can create a handtrap. You also need to make sure you can actually shoulder the weight of a heavy door – it shouldn’t be difficult to open. Some people even go for automatic opening doors if they’re too heavy.
High-end ironmongery is expensive – why should people invest in it, and what are the benchmarks of quality?
They say God is in the details, and that’s definitely true when it comes to architectural ironmongery. If you want something that’s going to look and feel the same, and work the same, for the next 50-odd years, then it’s worth spending the money on now.
You can’t really tell the quality of brass by looking at a new product, but we use higher-quality brass, which has less zinc content. Poor-quality brass degrades in a not-very-attractive way, going a lighter yellow rather than a deep gold. You can go into a house that’s had brass levers for 200 years and it’ll look fantastic; then you can look at handles bought from a high street DIY shop ten years ago and they look terrible.
Good-quality brass feels chunky and expensive in your hand, but extra weight isn’t always a good thing – if you don’t spring the latch correctly it becomes too heavy to operate.
Are there trends in ironmongery? What’s in right now?
It definitely goes in cycles. We went through a satin-grey, stainless steel phase; then burnished bronze. Now we’re seeing aged, unlacquered brass coming back into fashion – the unlacquered finish means it ages and patinates naturally, not keeping that shiny brass look.
The choice of finish can give the same product a totally different character, especially when it comes to the less detailed products – a plain square bar can look totally different in a burnished bronze than a satin chrome.
Another big trend is the move towards concealed hinges. It can really make a difference when you’ve got one of those really minimal schemes with no architraves, no skirting – all the detail removed.
Does Beardmore’s long history make it a good source for historically accurate ironmongery?
We do get approached for Grade-I listed buildings, where we might be brought an existing door handle and asked to reproduce it.
Beardmore does have a big archive, but it’s only now that we’re having it properly looked at and catalogued. It contains some of the old patterns, which means they can be used to make new pieces. Now we’re showing more of our archive I think more and more people will be coming to us for advice on period properties.
People think in quite simplified terms about period styles – beading on a backplate, lever or knob for Regency; rope detail for Georgian; plainer-looking for Victorian. But actually you find those details spanning really long periods.
What’s the advantage of having your own foundry?
We can make unique products. It’s rare to be an architectural ironmonger and also a manufacturer: most people are all selling the same products, but we’re selling our own designs. It also means we can offer a bespoke service, so if someone likes a lever handle but wants it longer, or a knob they want to be bigger, we can do that.
What sort of techniques does the foundry use?
We have a pattern maker who is able to make 3D moulds from a 2D sketch or photograph – it’s a real art form. Depending on what it is, it could start off as a mould in wood or plasticine, and then we use the lost wax casting technique to make the final piece. Lost wax is used for something that has a lot of decorative surface detail, but for something plainer we’ll probably use CNC milling, where you take a block of brass and mill round it using a machine. But even CNC-milled objects need a lot of hand finishing. | 2019-04-25T00:14:27Z | http://arkitexture.com/ask-the-expert/get-a-handle-on-architectural-ironmongery/ |
Mahmoud AbbasMahmoud AbbasReuters Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmud Abbas has written to US President-elect Donald Trump urging him not to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, official PA media reported Monday Monday. The PA news agency Wafa did not say when the letter was sent but said it aimed to explain the “risks” of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Abbas warned the move would have a “disastrous impact on the peace process, on the two-state solution and on the stability and security of the entire region,” Wafa said. Trump has said that he plans to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Abbas also sent letters to other world powers including Russia, China and the European Union, calling on them to “spare no effort” to prevent the United States from making the move, Wafa said. Mahmoud Al-Habbash, Abbas’s adviser on religious and Islamic affairs, warned on PA TV last week that moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would be “a declaration of war.” Abbas has previous warned against the transfer of the embassy to Jerusalem in statements to the PA media and to Israelis. Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway last month told a US radio channel moving the embassy was a “very big priority” for the president-elect. Trump has also nominated David Friedman, a supporter of Israel, as his ambassador to the Jewish state. In a Trump transition team statement last month, Friedman said he wanted to work for peace and looked forward to “doing this from the US embassy in Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.

This was the last real snow of the season, and I had to take advantage despite it being a weekday and hence a workday. It was only about an inch or two of snow (about three inches at the highest point of the hike), but it was a very pretty heavy, wet snow. This is one of my favorite hikes, and is also the most popular trail in the entire Harriman State Park. I normally do this route after the first snow of the season, but this time it was the last snow of the season.
I parked at the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center off 7 Lakes Drive near Sloatsburg. Hiked the Pine Meadow Trail along the brook which was roaring to the Stony Brook Trail, and then along the Kakiat Trail past the Cascade of Slid waterfall. Took the HTS Trail for a short duration across the brook, then took the Pine Meadow Trail back towards the return and back to my car.

I parked in Haverstraw behind the enormous mine works at the terminus of the biking trail that goes along the Palisades Cliffs and the Hudson River. Walked down the bike path until the abandoned park cabin, where I picked up the white-blazed Connector Trail that goes to the Long Path. This trail passes near a trail tunnel where the railroad goes underneath the mountain, so it was interesting watching a trail go through the tunnel while hiking.
Once I hit the Long Path I continued to the summit. Although the summit is a narrow ridge above both sides which are lower, there are surprisingly no good view available. At this point I turned back, went down the Connector Trail, and went south once I hit the bike path to explore the old quarries along the side of the mountain. These quarries are very old and were used to mine traprock at the turn of the century. Their walls are very impressive sheer cliffs with vast amounts of talus at their foot. The Palisades Park was created to protect the area from being totally obliterated from the quarrying operations. From there turned around and went along the bike path back to the car.

There had been an enormous rainstorm on Sunday with about 5 inches rain within a 24 hour period. The day after this storm there was flooding all over the area, so I figured this would be a good day to hike at Kakiat which is prone to flooding to observe this. Since it was a weekday (I had not been able to hike on Sunday because of the rain), I had to keep this hike short.
Started at the Kakiat parking area, crossed the bridge at the raging Mahwah River, and took the partially flooded-out Old Mill Trail for its length until the Kakiat Trail. I had to hike on rocks and detours to avoid the flooded and washed out portions. Took the Kakiat Trail slightly up the mountain, and veered off to the Kakiat waterfalls, which were falling strong. From there I bushwacked up along the side of the mountain to the lower Kakiat viewpoint, and then hiked down the Mountain Trail back to the parking area.
These pictures were taken with my cell phone camera since I didn't have my regular camera with me.

Not a good day to have a picnic.
Still a little bit of snow left on the Blue Mill Trail.

I have never seen the river overflow this much.

The author would like to thank Sila Rogan and Angela Bellegarde from the Indigenous Innovation Initiative at Grand Challenges Canada for their support and insight during the researching and reporting process.
Chef Francis, who is Gwich’in and Haudenosaunee, has been in the spotlight over the last few years, often for challenging beliefs such as those about bannock. In 2014, he was the first-ever Indigenous contestant on Top Chef Canada, where he took third place despite being a favorite to win. His incorporation of Indigenous medicine flavors (sweetgrass, tobacco, sage, and cedar) throughout the season won him praise, but the judges were unforgiving about his offering featuring muskox. Some undercooked quail in the dish didn’t help, either.
Francis is working to help change the narrative around Indigenous cuisine not exactly by recreating it, but by bringing some of its ingredients and techniques to modern tables and palates. Over the past few years, Francis has hosted dinners around the theme of reconciliation, to explore what modern Indigenous cuisine is, and could be. To do so, he’s looking within himself, to nature, and to elders across the country—but there are few who can fully recall the flavors of a pre-colonial palate.
“It isn’t something you can just pick up a cookbook and learn,” he says. “It’s been erased, and so many of the elders can hardly remember the tastes of these foods. They were taught not to taste it.” Here, he’s particularly referring to the residential school system, which took Indigenous youth away from their homes, and sought to “kill the Indian in the child.” It’s said that South Africa’s apartheid policies were modeled after Canada’s policies.
Francis wasn’t always set on making Indigenous cuisine, though. He recalls going to public school about 100 kilometers from Toronto, outside Reserve No. 40, where kids would tease him for bringing cured meats and a handful of Indigenous foods that were still being eaten. Experiences such as those distanced Francis from his roots. Decades later, he has come to terms with those early years, and has since sought to both unearth and reinvent Indigenous cuisine.
In early July, I went to Francis’s home on the Six Nations Reserve No. 40. Almost as a first lesson in the importance of land and climate to Indigenous cuisine, our original plans to hunt for venison are dissuaded by the searing sun, leaving us to prowl for produce at the local grocer.
Once we’re there, Francis begins weaving through the aisles. “Sorry if I get quiet for a second—I’m building the dish,” he says, smelling and touching everything, with an eye out for the “Grown in Ontario” signs. This tactile intuition has always been a part of his process, and taps into a much larger, centuries-old knowledge that he says is deep within him. It was this intuition that guided him through his culinary education at the acclaimed Stratford Chefs School, where he recalls feeling the motions in his muscles before he had ever learned them.
Spring peas, cod from the east coast, bone marrow, and early-season cherries fill our bags as we head back to the Francis residence. We brush off the wooden table and kick up a stir of mosquitos as we toss kindling into the fire pit. While it seems foolish to stand by a fire at midday in July, the smoke keeps the bugs at bay. Francis places the bone marrow and cod on a grill suspended between cinder blocks, then he heads out to forage a “salad.” He returns moments later, his hands full of soft, purple wild chive flowers, bright yellow nasturtiums, and stunning orange tiger-lilies.
This afternoon, he stews the cherries with the wild herbs, and crisps the cod ever-so-slightly. Just before the fish leaves the flame, it receives a glaze of yellow birch syrup from Quebec: my contribution to the meal. Birch has long played a role in Indigenous life, best known for the quintessential birch-bark canoes of the Algonquin First Nations. Birch syrup takes nearly double the amount of sap to syrup as maple. It’s savory at first, then eases into a rich maple flavor on the back palate.
As we prepare to plate the meal, I realize that Chef Francis had only brought out one dish, and one spoon for us to share. It feels significant, as the land we stand on was part of the Dish With One Spoon treaty. Believed to be among the earliest pre-contact treaties, it represents a collective responsibility to share the land and its resources (the dish) with all who sought to live on it (the shared, singular spoon).
On our shared plate, the early-season cherries are flavorful but not overly sweet, and balance perfectly with the richness of the marrow. The birch syrup seeps into the moist, flaky cod, and each bite is crisp with tiger-lilies and spring peas—a far cry from bannock.
Francis believes that Indigenous cuisine can be sharp, complex, and dynamic—just as the culture is. There’s still a lot of work to be done, though. “The Indigenous palate itself has been colonized,” Francis says. “We were given tastes for three things: white sugar, white flour, and white… well, you can guess.” There is a need to rediscover old food memories, and Francis thinks that non-Indigenous Canadians will come to appreciate Indigenous cuisine as well—especially in urban centers, where Francis sees modern food trends as a slow realization of centuries-old Indigenous ways. | 2019-04-23T10:40:59Z | https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/indigenous-cuisine-in-canada |

There are certain trends that seem to sweep over Instagram, saturating your feed until it's replaced by the next big thing. For fashion girls, particular poses have a way of exploding in popularity, with seemingly everyone following suit. It's likely that you're already familiar with the pose everyone is Instagramming right now but just don't know its name. The Bambi pose—yes, like the Disney character—was first coined by Julie Schott of Elle.com back in April and is that thing you've been seeing all over Instagram.
What is the Bambi pose? Let us break it down in layman's terms. The Bambi pose is a particular way of sitting, thighs over calves. As a gamut of influencers and fashion girls have demonstrated on their profiles, the Bambi pose is best accompanied by an arched back and sometimes even taken up a notch with a playful hand gesture or even a hair flip. Our field research suggests that most Bambi poses are performed in swimsuits—explaining why it's become the look of summer 2017—but some have even adopted the particular style of repose while clothed, like Bella Hadid for Porter magazine. Hadid is a particular proponent of the pose—see her many demonstrations below, and never wonder what the Bambi pose is again.

This week the Busy Bees had a lot of fun! They got to make some mittens with their finger prints and some skates as we started learning about winter sports! During Exploration, they had a great time making slime! They loved to touch it and play with it.
Our kiddos really enjoyed new activities to continue developing their fine motor skills, like placing poker chips in a jar.
Finally, during Circle Time, the kids enjoyed playing with Mr. Mike. We reviewed winter sports by sliding down a ramp as if we were on a sled in the snow. We moved and danced, and also had fun pretending to ice skate.
We look forward to starting a new month with new topics related to community helpers and Valentine’s Day! We are sure our little ones will have a wonderful time!

The encyclopedia make reference to, and I quote "the collected grass will have to be transported to a special silo on the farm and then you wait until it ferments."
Anyone have any clue where this "Special silo" is? I would most definitely prefer it over wrapping bails of grass. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It's not actually a silo, but a bunker. It is located south of the manure bunker.
OK, do the actually ferment the grass into silage?
They should. I've not done it yet myself yet in this game, but in FS17 you dump grass in the bunker, level it out/compact it, then cover it with plastic. It then ferments over time under the plastic. Then you use a silage fork or a bucket to scoop it into the mixer for TMR (cow food) or a trailer and sell it. I would hope the process in PF18 is similar, i'm just not there yet in my play through.
Maybe it only gives the option to do so when it is completely full.
Well, you have to do more to it than just let it sit, but yeah, you're supposed to level it and cover it with plastic so that it will ferment. Just leaving it out, it will dry out and become a hay/compost mix with hay on the top and only deeper layers will ferment, but it takes a long time and a larger pile. It needs heat and moisture to ferment, hence the plastic cover, which aids in keeping the moisture and heat in allowing for faster fermentation.
Ah, gotcha - yeah, from what others are saying, it's storage only, which is unfortunate and a missed opportunity for another game mechanic. | 2019-04-22T15:39:46Z | https://forum.techland.pl/topic/16499-special-silo/?tab=comments |
Their festive special is a rollicking 60-minute Moroccan adventure, but for the Birds Of A Feather stars the real dramas are closer to home – especially when it comes to Christmas dinner.
However, Pauline Quirke has help at hand if she needs it, thanks to her famous neighbour.
“I wouldn’t do that to her,” insists Pauline.
“I can’t just go: ‘Mary, throw us over a tiramisu!’ But I’m not good with desserts. Myself, Linda and Lesley are all busy in panto, so it’s going to be a slightly different Christmas.
It’s been a busy time for Pauline (aka Sharon), Linda (Tracey) and Lesley Joseph (Dorien). They had a hectic few weeks filming between Lesley waltzing with Anton Du Beke on Strictly Come Dancing, but they’re delighted with the results.
It all kicks off when Tracey’s son Travis fails to call her. She then panics on discovering he is not in Marbella, as she thought, but in Morocco with a mystery girl.
With French-speaking Dorien as translator and Sharon up for a cheap holiday, it’s not long before the trio are embroiled in all sorts of capers – along with Martin Kemp, returning as gangster Vince, who is running a bar in Tangier.
“Yes, Vince is back,” says Lesley, 71, whose character previously got to grips with the Spandau Ballet star in a hearse.
When is the Birds of a Feather Christmas special on TV, who's in the cast and what's it about?
Pauline and Linda first met Martin when they were kids attending a London drama club.
“Martin and [his brother] Gary worked in a fruit shop together,” recalls Linda.
Despite Martin’s return, the actresses insist they don’t want big-name stars for the sake of it.
“The guests we’ve had have been so great we haven’t really got anyone else on our wish list,” says Pauline.
Instead, they have a camel called Abdul and a temperamental lizard.
“Abdul was adorable,” laughs Pauline.
Given that Lesley was so busy with Strictly, it’s lucky they managed to finish filming the special (though it helped that a sand quarry in Leighton Buzzard doubled as the Moroccan desert).
“We had half a chair each,” laughs Linda about their visits to the studio to cheer on their pal. | 2019-04-18T21:09:52Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2364464/birds-of-a-feather-linda-robson-pauline-quirke-lesley-joseph-new-film/ |
A 36-year-old Sherman man was charged with Criminal Possession of Marijuana 5th Degree on November 7, 2018 following a probation investigation.
According to New York State Police, members of Chautauqua County Probation were conducting a home visit at Bobby Fowler’s residence during which time over thirty grams of marijuana were located. Chautauqua County Probation then notified the State Police. Fowler was processed at SP Jamestown and released with an appearance ticket.
Fowler is scheduled to appear in the town of Sherman Court later in the month to answer the charge. | 2019-04-23T18:22:15Z | http://www.allwnynews.com/2018/11/sherman-resident-charged-with-pot.html |
Every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt, according to a study by UN University's Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, published Oct. 28.
Today an area the size of France is affected -- about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world's irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
"To feed the world's anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it's a case of all lands needed on deck," says principal author Manzoor Qadir, Assistant Director, Water and Human Development, at UN University's Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health. "We can't afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands."
Zafar Adeel, Director of UNU-INWEH, notes the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects a need to produce 70% more food by 2050, including a 50% rise in annual cereal production to about 3 billion tonnes.
"Each week the world loses an area larger than Manhattan to salt-degradation. A large portion of the affected areas in developing countries have seen investments made in irrigation and drainage but the infrastructure is not properly maintained or managed. Efforts to restore those lands to full productivity are essential as world population and food needs grow, especially in the developing world."
The paper, authored by eight experts based in Canada, Jordan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, details crop productivity losses at farm, regional, and global scales, the cost of doing nothing, and the net economic benefit of preventing and/or reversing land degradation.
The estimated cost of crop losses was drawn from a review of more than 20 studies over the last 20 years in Australia, India, Pakistan, Spain, Central Asia and the USA.
Globally, irrigated lands cover some 310 million ha, an estimated 20% of it salt-affected (62 million ha). The inflation-adjusted cost of salt-induced land degradation in 2013 was estimated at $441 per hectare, yielding an estimate of global economic losses at $27.3 billion per year.
In India's Indo-Gangetic Basin, crop yield losses on salt-affected lands for wheat, rice, sugarcane and cotton grown on salt-affected lands could be 40%, 45%, 48%, and 63%, respectively. Employment losses could be 50-80 man-days per hectare, with an estimate 20-40% increase in human health problems and 15-50% increase in animal health problems.
In the Indus Basin in Pakistan, wheat grain yield losses from salt-affected lands ranged 20-43% with an overall average loss of 32%. For rice, the crop yield losses from salt-affected lands ranged 36-69% with an overall average loss of 48%.
Even in the USA's Colorado River Basin, studies show the annual economic impact of salt-induced land degradation in irrigated areas at US $750 million.
"It is important to note that the above numbers on global cost of salt-induced land degradation refer to economic losses based on crop yield losses only," the paper says.
"However, the crop yields from irrigated areas not affected by salinization have increased since 1990 due to factors such as improved crop varieties, efficient on-farm practices, better fertilizer use, and efficient water management practices. Consequently, there may be larger gaps in crop yields harvested from salt-affected and non-affected areas under similar agro-ecosystems, suggesting an underestimation of the economic cost of salt-induced land degradation."
"These costs are expected to be even higher when other cost components such as infrastructure deterioration (including roads, railways, and buildings), losses in property values of farms with degraded land, and the social cost of farm businesses are taken into consideration. In addition, there could be additional environmental costs associated with salt-affected degraded lands as these lands emit more greenhouse gases, thus contributing to global warming."
Among methods successfully used to facilitate drainage and reverse soil degradation: Tree planting, deep plowing, cultivation of salt-tolerant varieties of crops, mixing harvested plant residues into topsoil, and digging a drain or deep ditch around the salt-affected land.
Reversing land degradation and bringing salt-affected lands back into highly productive state are expected to result in favorable environmental benefits in addition to economic gains, although functional markets for many of the ecosystem services are currently embryonic or nonexistent.
Although there is a cost of investing in preventing land degradation, reversing land degradation, or restoring degraded land into productive land, these costs of action are much less than the costs of letting land degradation continue and intensify.
Pertinent policies, well-designed salinity management plans, supportive institutions, skilled human resources, provision of facilities and infrastructure for disposal of salts, capacity development of farmers, and utilization of locally available resources and indigenous knowledge of communities are crucial in combating salt-induced land degradation.
Salt-induced land degradation may also affect the business sector negatively either directly or indirectly, targeting their inputs, outputs, or processes. The businesses in close connection with natural resources may be affected, such as those dealing with basic resources (forestry, wood, pulp, and paper), food and beverage, construction and materials, industrial goods and services (transportation and packaging), utilities (water and electricity), personal and household goods (clothing, footwear, and furniture), leisure and travel (hotels and restaurants), and real estate. Therefore, reversing salt-induced land degradation would help these sectors achieve potential economic gains by providing needed levels of materials and services.

Charities were a big winner again at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, as this year’s event raised more than $1.7 million for charity. Donations from the Concours have averaged $1.4 million annually since 2006.
The Concours has generated substantial funds for charity since its earliest years, but donations in recent years have greatly accelerated. Annual donations first exceeded the $100,000 mark in the mid-1990s and the $500,000 mark in 2000 before surpassing the $1 million mark in 2006. The Concours has now surpassed the $23 million mark for total giving since its inception in 1950.
The event generates funds from many sources, both near and far, to help the local community. Generous Concours participants, including entrants and judges, regularly send in direct donations. Event partners such as BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Rolex and Bulgari donate valuable goods for opportunity drawings. Additionally, volunteers donate time and effort to make the event a success.
That success translates directly into donations for Concours charities. Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Pebble Beach Company, serves as the event’s primary charitable partner, directing funds to 85 local nonprofit educational programs and overseeing the Phil Hill Scholarships. Charitable partners benefiting directly from the Concours include Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, Kinship Center, Montage Health (formerly Community Hospital Foundation), Natividad Medical Foundation, Animal Friends Rescue Project and United Way Monterey County. Additional charities volunteer time and effort in exchange for donations, while other nonprofits benefit from the use of Concours infrastructure, such as tents, to host fundraisers.
The 67th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is scheduled for Sunday, August 20, 2017. For information, visit PebbleBeachConcours.net. | 2019-04-23T01:04:32Z | http://www.sportscardigest.com/continued-giving-2016-pebble-beach-concours/ |
Let’s focus on how can you optimize your website, and to do so, we’ll hear from the specialist who created e-commerce software to run an online store, Oferer.com.
Why is a high ranking position in Google so important?
If your online store and your products are visible on Google, this will bring more traffic to your website. It will also positively affect profits. Don’t forget that a majority of customers look for products on Google by using the appropriate keywords. And here’s how to have your site found for those keywords.
We will start with the optimization of the entire store for SEO. Make sure that the online domain matches the name of your store. Therefore, when you choose the name of your company, check whether the domain is available. In addition, the domain of the online store should be simple, so that the customers can easily remember it and could enter it in the search engine. Domains with the ending “.com” are the best.
Unique product descriptions are very important. Remember not to copy descriptions from other websites! A common mistake among online stores owners is copying descriptions from suppliers. This phenomenon results in what Google calls Duplicate Content and has a negative impact on positioning.
Therefore, stand out from the competition and optimize your store! Write in a simple and understandable language. Speak the language of benefits and indicate why the customer should purchase your item. In addition, divide the description into several parts. Indicate the general aspects of the product and create more detailed information about the stock or collection. Finally, enter the technical specification of the product such as parameters.
The last tip is the implementation of keywords. As mentioned above, the keyword itself can be the domain of the online store. It is important that the title of the item includes its name, model, additional parameters, e.g. color. In the detailed information, also include keywords – preferably in the intensity of 3% to 7%- when it’s more you can get the opposite effect.
The store’s optimization is very important and positively affect your profit. | 2019-04-24T16:49:04Z | http://thoughtreach.com/how-to-optimize-an-online-store-for-seo/ |

Regina v. H.M.C. [Provincial Court – June 2014] - Patrick C. Fagan, Q.C.
HMC, an executive with a multinational corporation, was charged with sexual assault for allegedly groping a waitress during the course of local festivities. HMC, a middle aged married professional with no prior adverse history with the police, denied being anywhere near the waitress or tent in question. None of that seemed to matter to the police. HMC was arrested and charged accordingly.
Bottom Line: Prior to trial Patrick Fagan discovered that the police had engaged in a highly problematic investigative procedure germane to identification of HMC as the suspect. Patrick Fagan was successful in having all charges completely withdrawn. | 2019-04-22T15:03:30Z | http://www.patrickfagan.com/regina-v-h-m-c-provincial-court-june-2014/ |

Since our mission here is to bring you the best advice both business-wise and relationship-wise, let’s dive into this. Many of us, myself included, have the experience. We work super-hard, we immerse, we love the grind, we live our entrepreneurial dreams. And meanwhile, we somehow neglect our intimate relationships and all of a sudden we find ourselves alone. Not cool, definitely not cool.
We might even feel sorry for ourselves. It seems not fair. We did our best to secure a living for “both of us”. “I did it for us….” But let’s be honest here – did you, really? Usually, or at least in my experience, we focus way too much. I know, I know… we hear it from all sides – you need to totally immerse. But then again – how do you want to keep a significant one when the only thing you think and care about is your business?
That’s what we hear so often – you are so selfish. And we might think it is not fair. But the truth is that building a business is very selfish. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t make it. You love it, you breathe for the process. And so she leaves. Rightfully so, who can blame her, right? I mean would you stay in a relationship where your partner seems to never really pay attention to you? I don’t know about you but I probably would not.
Yes, we need both – we need to feel successful, we need to build, to conquer. And we also need love, we need someone to talk to, someone who really cares about us. And someone we deeply care about. In my experience, this kind of balance is non-negotiable. We all know people who are very successful in their careers, in their businesses, but they are actually very deeply unhappy. The love is somehow missing and without love, what’s the purpose really? What could be your why when you have no love in your life?
So how do you deserve her?
Stop being so selfish. Yes, building a business is selfish and it is good to be selfish in the field. But being selfish in your love life, in relationships, that is definitely not a way to go. Do you want a quality woman in your life? Be a man of certain qualities yourself first. Like attracts like. You don’t know how to do it? Well, you are on the internet, all the knowledge is somewhere around here. Do you need dating advice? Be sure to check getexbackforgood.com. Do you need to improve your attitude? Give a chance to coach Corey Wayne, one of the best relationships gurus out there.

Pneumonia kills more children than any other disease. Stand with us to help give children a fighting chance.
Despite the facts, many people don't realise just how deadly pneumonia is for young children. It's not only a disease that affects the elderly, but one which stalks young children in developing countries.
For the children suffering, it’s a lonely battle. Their lungs stop working, filling up with fluid until every gasping breath becomes agony.
Many die from exhaustion – their fragile bodies simply too shattered to fight any more.
Every child who dies from pneumonia is being cheated of the chance to grow. And their parents must watch as the dreams they held for them are shattered before their eyes.
Here's the simple truth: Pneumonia stalks the weakest.
However, the factors that allow it to kill so many children are more complex.
In the world’s toughest countries, it’s the poorest and most vulnerable children who are more likely to suffer. Conditions like malnutrition and diarrhoea leave them weak and at greater risk of pneumonia.
They’re also exposed to dirty air that makes their little lungs vulnerable to infection and bacteria.
For many children, the odds are stacked against them from the day they’re born.
A lottery of birth is denying them access to the life-saving healthcare they desperately need.
They’re not getting the necessary vaccinations, and their symptoms aren’t being spotted until it’s too late.
Khadija, five months, has a severe case of pneumonia.
Maximilla waits beside her son, Jackson, for his condition to stabilise.
Our Community Health Volunteers count children's breaths per minute using beads.
Despite its prevalence, we know how to prevent and treat pneumonia.
We're scaling up our programmes on the ground and joining forces with partners to get life-saving vaccines and antibiotics to children.
We're also calling on governments to ensure all children have access to healthcare, regardless of where they are. We can't fight this alone. We need your help.
Help us by donating and joining our campaign against pneumonia today. | 2019-04-23T22:11:58Z | https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/what-we-do/health/pneumonia |

Future space missions may send dozens of rug-like robots fluttering down to the surface of alien worlds, taking much of the risk out of planetary exploration.
Researchers are developing flat, blanket-size landers that could be delivered en masse to worlds such as Mars or the Jupiter moon Europa. The approach represents a radical departure from the surface-exploration status quo, which generally launches single-shot, big-ticket landers or rovers that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to design and build.
Hemmati and his team got a $100,000 grant from NIAC last year to develop the "flat lander" concept.
The current vision calls for dozens of sensor-loaded sheets — each about 3 feet long by 3 feet wide (1 meter by 1 meter), but less than 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) thick — to be toted to another planet or moon by a mother ship.
Each sheet would touch down at a different location, without the need for complicated and expensive landing systems such as the "sky crane" that dropped NASA's Curiosity rover onto the surface of Mars in August 2012, researchers say.
"These landers should be capable of passive landings, avoiding the costly, complex use of rockets, radar and associated structure and control systems," Hemmati and his colleagues write in a description of the project on the NIAC website.
The loss of a few landers on any particular mission would not be a big deal anyway, Hemmati said.
"They don't all have to survive; we have dozens of them," he said. "Even if half of them make it, it's still good. We'll be happy."
Recent advances in thin, flexible electronics would allow these solar-powered sheets to gather a great deal of data on the surface of an alien world. For example, each one could carry tiny cameras, spectrometers and environmental monitoring gear, Hemmati said.
The landers would beam their data up to an orbiter or passing flyby craft, which would relay the information back to Earth.
The baseline concept calls for the landers to be stationary. But some mobility could be achieved by equipping them with tiny legs, or with actuators that could shape the sheets into spheres when desired, allowing them to be driven by the wind on breezy worlds such as Mars.
Mars is a viable destination for a fleet of flat landers, Hemmati said, adding that the robots could be sent to places heretofore deemed too risky and rugged to explore, such as the huge canyon system Valles Marineris.
More far-flung celestial objects — such as Europa and the Saturn moon Enceladus, which are both thought to possess subsurface oceans of liquid water — are possible targets as well. In fact, a flat-lander delivery to Europa would make a lot of sense, Hemmati said, since NASA is developing a potential flyby mission to the moon called the Europa Clipper.
"These two-dimensional landers could be nice as a pathfinder," Hemmati said.
Because Europa and Enceladus are so far from the sun, any flat landers on their surface would probably need more than just solar energy to keep operating. But that power could probably be beamed down to them by an overhead spacecraft, which would need to fly by regularly to relay data home anyway, Hemmati said.
While such long-distance power beaming sounds like a sci-fi dream, the concept is sound and has been demonstrated here on Earth, Hemmati said.
"Actually, we've had funding from DARPA [the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency] for tactical applications to do laser power beaming to remote areas in Iraq, for example," he said. "It's feasible." | 2019-04-24T04:48:19Z | https://www.space.com/25000-planetary-exploration-flat-landers-tech-nasa.html |

Dubai Police currently investigating a Dh 300 million ($81.7 million) international fraud case have issued a warning about the potential role of digital assets in terms of facilitating crime in the UAE.
Speaking at a forum on Sunday September 16, Major-General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, assistant-commander of criminal investigation department (CID) at the Dubai Police warned that a lack of awareness in the UAE about the risks inherent in digital currency aids cybercriminals in carrying out fraud, money laundering and piracy in the country.
According to police officials at the event, unmonitored large scale electronic financial transactions inevitably pose a substantial amount of risk, and the UAE government needs to develop a legal and law enforcement framework to deal with this threat.
At the event, Lt-Gen Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, deputy chairman of the Dubai Police and head of general security in Dubai noted that the nature and price of digital currencies makes it such that it is impossible to offers protection guarantees to investors. In the light of this he said, the only possible course of action on the part of the government is to warn investors about the risks they potentially face.
According to him, electronic money will eventually replace cash, but that in itself does not mean that all digital currencies will achieve the trust levels of fiat as long as their source and tracking system remains unknown.
A number of experts also spoke on the need for the UAE to proactively engage with cryptocurrencies so as to preempt their possible deployment as a tool of criminality. Dubai SmartWorld chairman Dr Saeed Al Dhaheri stated that rather than wait, Dubai should take the initiative and create a regulatory system to monitor electronic currency and stop it from becoming an enabler for crime. According to him, the high level of crypto startup failure within four months of establishment – 56 percent – is proof that a large portion of such businesses are “fake”.
Experts recommended the formation of a comprehensive legal system for regulating crypto in keeping with the Emirates Blockchain Strategy. To this end, they suggested the launch of a state-backed UAE cryptocurrency, as well as amendments to existing AML and CFT laws to state that they also apply to the use of digital currencies.
Authorities in the UAE have a well documented ambivalence about the issue of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, often issuing conflicting messages within weeks of each other. CCN reported in February that the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Agency (SCA) issued an investment warning to ICO investors in the country. Previously, the UAE Central Bank governor Mubarak Rashed Al Mansouri also stated that cryptocurrencies are “often abused for illicit financing purposes”.
However in December 2017, CCN reported that the UAE and Saudi Arabia began a collaboration on a proposed cross-border cryptocurrency. In February 2017, the UAE government also announced a partnership with IBM for a blockchain trade finance project. | 2019-04-22T09:29:34Z | https://www.bitcoinisle.com/2018/09/18/dubai-police-warns-against-crypto-scams-predicts-electronic-money-will-replace-cash/ |

Atrial fibrillation, or “AFib”, is one of the most common and more serious heart rhythm disorders. It occurs when electrical signals arise from different areas within the atria, causing the heart’s upper chambers to pump too fast and unevenly. The heart beats very fast and the rhythm becomes uncoordinated, impairing the flow of blood from the heart..
During AFib, the left atrium doesn’t completely empty of blood; the remaining blood can become stagnant and clot. If a clot travels into the ventricle and out into the bloodstream, it can block an artery, causing a stroke. In fact, the risk of having a stroke is 5 times greater for people with AFib than for others. Between 15% and 20% of all strokes occur in people with AFib.
Paroxysmal AFib occurs in short, intermittent episodes. The abnormal rhythm usually converts back to normal within a short time — from a few seconds to a few hours, seven days at the most. | 2019-04-19T08:38:40Z | https://www.electrophysiologistmiami.com/patient-education/arrhythmias/atrial-fibrillation/ |
SYNDRUM Quad Vintage Analog Custom...for sale!
This listing is for a nice Syndrum Quad with custom wood sides. The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. Included is a really long (I think it's 15 or 20 ft) breakout cable in order to trigger the 4 modules. It was wired into my patchbay so you will just need to add 1/4" connectors to the 4 ends. I had it custom made because the original trigger cable was short and always got tangled.
Sound Master Stix ST-305 Analogue Drum machine.
A great little drum machine made in 1981 which was a direct answer to the Roland Trs.
It has a very strong mellow thump sound to the kick and general all round analogue warmth which can be controlled from the sweep of the hard to soft tone control to bring its presence out, it sounds great.
It also has control trigger in and out, one a constant clock pulse and the other programmable via the accent.
The real beauty of the is machine is it has a direct output for every drum sound.
I have only ever used this drum machine with batteries as I never wanted to risk using a power supply or giving it the wrong voltage or impedance, but I’m sure it would work fine with a power adaptor, but as I say it’s a lovely machine and I wasn’t prepared to take that risk and the batteries last for ages anyway, the batteries are used for its memory also.
It does come with its original manual but it’s in German you may be able to find a UK manual on line somewhere.
Please note, personally it took me a bit of time to get my head around it to program, and it has to be programmed to get any sound out of it, but once up and running it is a very unique drum machine and I’m sure there’s not many of these around.
DRUMSTATION 808 909 drum emulation...for sale!

RARE Vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR8L....for sale!
Vintage Ace Tone Rhthym Ace FR8L 'Rhythym Producer' analogue Drum Machine.
These machines are becoming more and more rare, and this one is in full working order.
'Ace Tone' were founded in 1960 and went on to become a name we all know these days, Roland.
This unit was launched around 1974, and dates from that time.
It's housed in an elegant wooden cabinet, which has a couple of minor scuffs and marks, but for something that's almost 40 years old, and was heavily used in its earlier days, it's done not badly. The only thing 'wrong' with it, is the screws have been removed from the folding music desk! The Music desk is there (as can be seen in the pics) and will need 6 small screws to re-attach it.
We have a sensible reserve on this unit, or you can buy it now!
There is only this one, and once it's sold, it's sold.
As it is such an instrinsically valuable piece of musical history, we would prefer it to be collected, but will courier at cost.
Note, these usually sell for between £130 and £160 and the reserve price reflects this.
If someone uses the 'buy it now' button we will however, include carriage if required.
The “nineOnine” for iPad is a simple sample-based emulation of Roland’s classic TR-909 drum machine. With its looks and feel the “nineOnine” is drawing close comparison to the original hardware device.

Get ready for another linkup with the lovely ladies from The Well! Be sure to check out my other posts from the linkup here. The question of the month is What are you doing (now) to prepare yourself for a better future? What do you think you should start doing to create a better future for yourself? Whoa, what interesting questions, right?!
In order to answer these questions, I need to have goals for my future; something I'm working towards which requires me to take steps now to prepare for it. As I finish up half of my college career (agh!) I am looking to the future with thoughts of employment. For a long time I was convinced I wanted to be an attorney. Now don't get me wrong, I still would love to go to law school, however through my experiences with sales courses and competitions I have realized that my talents can be used for a variety of careers. When it comes to preparing for the future, I am looking to continually improve my transferable skills and will do that by taking on more challenges and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. That will mean seeking more responsibility in my work life and with my organizations.
As great as it is to look to the future and making it "better," I also believe that there is something to be said for embracing the here and now. I am one who is always looking to better herself and who thinks of her resume whenever she does anything (more here on why that isn't necessarily a good thing), however the present is something to be enjoyed. Granted there is always room for improvement, but we need not be obsessed with the future resulting in us missing out on what is wonderful about right now! Living in the future or with dissatisfaction in the present is detrimental and a shame. I am guilty of this on occasion, but have been making a conscious effort to find happiness in where I am today.
Identifying areas you want to work on is wicked important and essential to be successful, which is why I do truly like this question. As always, it is about striking the right balance between forward thinking and present enjoyment. Here is an image I created with a quote from Donald Altman which perfectly sums up what I'm trying to say. New phone background anyone?
What are you doing to prepare for your future? Do you agree that it's all about balance? | 2019-04-19T11:07:58Z | http://www.alyssajfreitas.com/2015/05/preparing-for-future.html |

Fifty-one genetically blessed beauties will walk in the annual fashion extravaganza, but only VS Model, Jasmine Tookes, will wear the diamond-encrusted $3 million fantasy bra.
Tookes said, “My first year I was panicking, I was working out everyday, freaking out.” Now, the VS Model graces the runway with elegance.
Stunning VS Model, Elsa Hosk, who is also a veteran runway angel, will walk the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris. Both VS Angels are excited about the upcoming show.
The excitement in the air is inevitable, with the world’s sexiest fashion extravaganza set to be full of colors, intricately designed lingerie, and a lot style. The spectacle is set to air on Monday, December 5, 2016, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, and millions of fans will stay tuned in.
VS Angels, Tookes and Hosk, were committed to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show preparation to stay in flawless shape. They focused on everything from dieting to working out, to make sure that their walk down the celebrated runway was nothing short of perfection.
Fans will be drooling and will be over the moon with the stunning VS angels. Are you curious to know how VS Angels, Tookes and Hosk, prepared for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? Keep reading to find out their workout and diet.
Tookes has come a long way from walking her first-ever Victoria’s Secret runway to being a veteran VS model today. A few years ago, Tookes used to think, “I’m fine, I don’t have to work out, I have a fast metabolism.” But now, she is disciplined about her workout routine.
The model likes to post her workout updates on social media. For example, look at this workout video on Instagram.
To prepare for the VSFS, she tries to focus on multiplicity in her workout regimen. Her workouts include a barre session, Physique 57, light cardio exercises, Pilates, weight training, and some heavy weight lifting.
During weekends, she would work out with VS Models, Josephine Skriver and Romee Strijd. She even created an Instagram account called @JoJa to post workout updates, on Twitter, the hashtag used to post the videos was #JoJa. For example, this tweet on her workout with VS model Josephine Skriver, where the model is doing her glutes workout.
The model also focuses on her healthy food plan. Typically, she begins her day with a protein shake (consisting of banana, chocolate whey powder, peanut butter, strawberries, and almond milk). She also likes to have the Isopure chocolate whey powder, and have a breakfast consisting of two hard-boiled eggs with spinach. She likes to have food with a lot of carbs and also indulges in her cheat days.
WOWW Did I just OPEN the Victoria's Secret fashion show??????? I'm still thinking I'm going to wake up to realize I just had the best dream of my life… but that was… real. Thank you from the bottom of my heart @ed_razek . Feel so humbled and emotional. What an honor to lead the most incredible show on the planet, in this breathtaking outfit, with countless and countless hardworking people included. I'm so beyond proud of all of us involved in this show!!!! You all made my dreams come true last night❤️ thank you for the love and support, to my fans and to everyone that made this possible. Hard work pays off, and girls, we did it!!!???❤️❤️❤️❤️ dont forget to watch it on @cbstv dec 5th 10/9c !!!!
The VS model looks stunning, and has focused on preparing for the VS fashion show. She would sign in for workouts with Tookes and Skriver.
Hosk includes boxing in her workout regimen, and is trained by boxing coach, Kwame Davis. She used to also be a professional basketball player, and now she tries to include a mix of barre, Pilates, and exercises for stretching. Her biggest area of focus is working on her glutes.
She is seen doing the Bosu ball workout with Martha Hunt and Madison Utendahl.
Hosk believes in eating healthy, and she said, “eating lots of proteins, vegetables, things that will just nourish your body from the inside.” She would probably have a healthy snack of Tzatziki and carrots, as well as a smoothie. The model also believes in juice cleanses without solid food. Her food plan includes organic and natural foods.
A typical breakfast would include eggs and bacon, lunch would be a mozzarella and tomato panini with lentil soup, and dinner would be fried cheese, chicken skewers with rice pilaf, cucumber, feta salad, and potato.
VS Angels are all geared up for the grand spectacle on Monday, and millions of fans will be tuned in. To stay super fit like Jasmine Tookes and Elsa Hosk, try adopting their fitness regimen.

Readers of this blog will have noticed that we have been focusing intensively on the centenary of World War I. Alongside the usual wide range of research, one in five visits to the Library this year have been by readers researching World War I topics – the Quaker peace testimony, conscientious objection to military service, war relief work and the lives of individuals involved. Enquiries to the Library on these subjects have gone up too, not least from Quaker Meetings organising local events and exhibitions around the country. In particular, there is a demand for images for illustrations and displays, and our colleague Melissa Atkinson has been busy researching the image collections for World War I related material. We asked her for a personal highlight.
With the WWI centenary upon us, the Library has been inundated with enquiries. I have discovered so many interesting visual items that it is hard to single one out. I have chosen to write about a photograph album that has gripped my attention (Library reference TEMP MSS 881/ALB). As with any photo album, a story unfolds after every page and I am captivated by the visual story told by its young creator – (Philip) Alan Burtt (1897-1991) who volunteered with the Section Sanitaire Anglaise 19 (SSA19).
The Sections Sanitaires Anglaises, collectively referred to as “the French convoys”, made up the Belgian and northern French section of the Friends Ambulance Unit (FAU). They helped transport wounded soldiers from battlefields to hospitals as British motor ambulance convoys working under the French army. FAU was one of the voluntary Units along with the Order of St. John Ambulance and of course the British and American Red Cross.
This album traces Alan Burtt and his unit’s movements around the towns of Coxyde, Zuydcoote, Nieuport, and Pont D’Oye the coast, the trenches and the combat zone.
Alan Burtt was still at Sidcot School when war broke out, and a keen member of the school photography club. While at Sidcot, he would have heard first-hand accounts of conditions on the continent from the former pupils who came back to talk about their war service, whether in the FAU, doing relief work with civilians, or in the army. Alan Burtt signed up for the FAU in July 1915, and trained at Oxhey Grange, Hertfordshire, before leaving for Dunkirk in January 1916 aged 19.
He was stationed with SSA19 from October 1916 to July 1917, working as an orderly and driver. He transferred back to England to the FAU agricultural section and worked with the Wensleydale Pure Milk Society (a Northallerton dairy farming cooperative founded in 1905). After about a year, he undertook further relief work with the Italian Ambulance Unit which was administered by the British Red Cross.
Like many other albums, autograph books or scrapbooks in the Library, Alan Burtt’s photograph album is a compilation of material from various sources – his own photographs, photographs taken and exchanged by comrades, and copies from official sources (in this instance, French Army photographs). Nonetheless, this a quite a memento for a desperate time. I find the collection both poignant and fascinating. For me, as a curator, these images reveal an aptitude for photography, and sensitivity to the subject. Even though an amateur photographer, Alan Burtt manages to balance devastating subject matter with poetic landscapes and personal experiences.

Trying to trace my Grandfather Thomas Birkett of Wigston, who converted his Argyll car into an ambulance and joined the FAU in Fraance. He played his guitar to the troops in the evnings.
You can see his FAU personnel records online, complete with photos! We have digitised the World War I FAU personnel cards and they are freely searchable online (http://fau.quaker.org.uk/). Thomas Birkett’s cards are here.
For more information about the records of the Friends Ambulance Unit during World War I, see our blogpost from last year.
Hi there, how interesting, I am the grandson of A Wiles featured in this album, I have a small collection of photographs of the SSA19 crew around the same period including Punch!!! I am planning a trip to Amiens this month, I plan to investigate the cellar at Doman sur la luce. I would love to swap any further information you have.
How marvellous – what a lovely collection to own We’ve just received your email message too. We’ll be in touch soon. | 2019-04-24T04:08:10Z | https://quakerstrongrooms.org/2014/10/29/world-war-i-images-photograph-album-of-alan-burtt-friends-ambulance-unit-ssa19/ |
Nestled alongside India, China and Thailand, sits the enchanting Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar. Formerly known as Burma, the country is now stepping out from its tumultuous history plagued with civil war, occupation and military rule. Known for its towering golden pagodas and devout Buddhist followers, there is more to this formerly closed nation than meets the eye.
Burma was renamed Myanmar in 1989, however some western nations, like the U.S., refuse to recognize the change.
The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is the country's most famous site and a revered Buddhist monument; it was erected more than 2,500 years ago using 22,041 solid bars of gold.
Traditional Burmese dance features double-jointed performers who bend wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, fingers and toes to stylized choreography.
In Burmese culture, white, or albino, elephants are worshipped. The animals are collected by politicians to bring good luck in elections. Currently eight white elephants are actively involved in blessing the country's affairs.
About 5,000 elephants are employed throughout the country in forestry operations to haul logs. Elephants start timber-work at age five and typically retire at age 53.
Burmese women and children smear fragrant paste made from tree bark, called thanaka, on their faces to combat the sun.
In the mountainous northeastern regions of Myanmar, the local diet consists of insect larvae, ants and grasshoppers.
Burmese people don't only drink tea, but eat it as well. Lahpet, or tea-leaf salad, consists of fermented tea leaves packed into bamboo tubes along with a variety of spices and accompaniments.
The Myanmar border with Laos and Thailand is often referred to as the "Golden Triangle." It is regarded as lawless badlands overrun with drug lords, arms dealers and insurgent armies, and is the primary poppy crop region for opium production.
Myanmar is the second-largest producer of opium in the world after Afghanistan, producing around a fifth of the world's supply.
100 days after the birth of a child, the parents invite family and friends to a naming ceremony where the baby is given a name based on astrological calculations.
There are no family surnames in Burmese culture or shared names between children and parents; Burmese women keep their maiden names upon marriage.
The term "U" is added to the names of senior figures in Burmese culture to signify honor and respect.
Burmese girls mark the end of childhood at age 9 with an ear-piercing ceremony. | 2019-04-25T12:31:54Z | http://www.kimberlyleupo.com/2016/06/yangon-myanmar-facts-about-relatively.html |

Well, I was there, along with my old friend and fellow MV Andy Victor. It was something of a sentimental journey for me since in our schooldays Andy and I used to be frequent attenders of various Nottingham folk-clubs (Andy still lives there and still is) and I remembered one or two of the club regulars from those days. Not only that, but the first time Andy and I saw Pete perform live was some forty years ago just down the road at Nottingham University SU.
Thought it was a terrific evening. Pete was on top form, a great mix of older and newer songs, and a very appreciative audience. I spoke to one or two people who hadn't been familiar with the songs previously who were really enthusiastic. Oh, and a rare outing for Stranger in Town, my favourite song from LL. | 2019-04-20T14:27:01Z | https://www.peteatkin.com/cgi-bin/mv/YaBB.cgi?board=App;action=display;num=1498993959 |
