Observing that filling up of the vacancies over 1.5 lakh in the police force would help in dealing with the law and order problem in the state, the Supreme Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to fill the posts in four years.
Chief Justice of India JS Khehar’s bench directed the filling up of the currently 1,01,619 vacant posts in the police and also asked the state government to start recruiting 30,000 constables every year from August 17, 2017, to August 2020.
It directed that 3,200 posts of sub-inspector should be filled annually from January 2018 to January 2021, apart from filling up the promotional posts every year.
Noting that officials in the Police Recruitment Board after the issuance of notification for recruitment of constables and sub- inspectors for one cycle shall not be changed mid-stream or transferred till the process ends, the bench said the officials can be held accountable personally.
Accepting their roadmaps to fill the vacancies, the bench directed Tamil Nadu (19,803) and Karnataka (24,889) to fill up about 45,000 posts in a time-bound manner.
The court, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the responses of West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand in the matter and sought fresh roadmaps.
Pursuant to the court directions earlier, home secretaries and senior officers of these six states had appeared personally before the bench.
The apex court was hearing a 2013 petition, which claimed that law and order situation in the country was deteriorating due to a large number of vacancies in police services at all levels across all states.
The petitioner had claimed before the bench that there were around 5.42 lakh vacancies in the police services across the country. | 2019-04-20T14:43:55Z | https://www.livelaw.in/fill-vacant-police-posts-time-bound-manner-sc-tells-5-states/ |
Saffron Makhaniya Lassi Recipe is a popular Indian yogurt based drink made from milk, yogurt, sugar, saffron, cardamon, cream, nuts, and butter.
A lassi is a popular Indian yogurt based drink and so we sampled quite a few during our 2 week long tour through Northern India. Some lassis were significantly better than others.
They’ve got to be thick and rich you see. If they’re too watered down, the flavor’s all gone.
You can always tell if the lassis were just made carelessly, you can taste that the loves not there.
In Jodhpur though we had the best lassis ever. Not just any lassi, but a saffron makkhaniya lassi.
We first tried the Makhaniya Lassi at a bustling lassi shop in the center of town and then I even got to learn how to make one myself at my first Indian cooking class.
Now the star ingredients of this delicious delicacy are simply milk, yogurt, sugar, saffron, cardamon, cream, nuts, and butter.
Yep in case you were wondering what that mysterious glob on the side there was, that is in fact straight up butter.
Might sound odd at first, but this is freshly made butter that is simply creamy and adds a perfect touch to the Makhaniya Lassi.
Most of the ingredients all get mixed in together and then the lassi is topped with a mix of heavy cream and nuts and raisins. And then dotted with a spot of butter, though this part can be skipped.
This Makhaniya Lassi recipe is best eaten with a spoon, so you can savor every bite. I love to travel and sample the local cuisine and all the regional delicacies and this was no exception. I have had plenty of mango lassis at Indian restaurants all over the world but this was my very first experience with the safffron Makhaniya Lassi. This was a super intriguing beverage and I cannot say I have ever had saffron in a drink before! I loved learning how to make this lassi during the cooking class!
A traditional Indian Lassi recipe from Jodhpur. A real delight. Bet you've never had a Makhaniya Lassi before!
Soak saffron in the hot milk and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
To the yogurt ad sugar and cardamon. Mix. Add the saffron milk mix and blend together with a hand blender until smooth.
In a separate bowl combine nuts/raisins and heavy cream. Mix.
Pour the lassi mix evenly into 5 glasses. Top with a dollop of the heavy cream nuts mix and add a small spoonful of butter onto the side of the glass.
this looks so good! I’ve got a few threads of saffron I need to find something special to do with, this sounds perfect!
Hope you enjoy this! A perfect use for a little bit of saffron that you have leftover. | 2019-04-22T06:31:10Z | https://avocadopesto.com/saffron-makhaniya-lassi-recipe/ |

The police department in New Bela is a quiet, small place; it isn't foreboding like most, but rather it's shrouded in a strange sense of familiarity, of safety. The exterior is of light-colored brick, its large, welcoming windows making it look more like a modern home than a business. The only thing indicating it for a police department is the medium-sized tan sign, printed in large, handpainted navy blue letters, which is posted in the front lawn, near the road. The floors are a dark, commercial navy carpet, and the walls are a calming, warm tan color. The front, U-shaped desk is made of brightly-tinged cedar, and the sound of whirring computers can be heard in the background.
Bela Nombra places high trust in law enforcement, and the officers of the BNPD take pride in their work. Bela Nombre is a relatively safe place, with most calls being traffic reports and accidents. Seldom do they make arrests, rarely must they report serious crimes such as robbery or murder.
But recently there's been an increase in alarming calls, such as vicious attacks and injuries, missing person reports, and a murder or two. . .
Keith approached the department, with Marianne in his arms. As he came within range of human-sight, he heard Jimmy call out to him.
"Hey, Mister Sheriff, what happened out there?" the man said. Keith smiled slightly, looking down at Marianne, then up at Jimmy. Jimmy was a man going into his forties, from Keith's guess, who had helped him so much in becoming the officer he was today. A bit on the round-side, maybe, but Jimmy could run faster than most teenagers in Bela Nombre, even though he was perfectly human. Dedication was what Keith catagorized it as. Pure dedication. And a wife with a three-year-old son who looked up to him.
"Marianne Williams. Ran into some trouble down at the beaches." he said, calmly, moving through the door that Jimmy held open for him. "Also, there should be a young man coming down here tomorrow. If he arrives before I am done with my rounds, put him on highway patrol until I get back."
Jimmy laughed, the sound deep and hearty. "What did the kid do, Keith? Disrespect to the law?" he asked, and Keith's face became serious as he set Marianne down in a chair, setting her down softly. He shook her gently to try and wake her up.
"Marianne, we're here." he whispered, then looked at Jimmy. "What, the boy? Oh... moral grounds. Violated a young woman sensually. He will be coming here for a while, until I am satisfied."
Jimmy raised a fading eyebrow. "Quite a night. And Miss Williams?" he asked, changing subject as he fetched the First Aid. Keith began to patch Marianne up silently, saying nothing for a while.
"Melanie." was all he said. Jimmy nodded. They had been through a few episodes with Marianne before, and it was no surprise that it happened again. "I think she left her groceries back at the beach. Do hurry and get them for her before the teens down there raid it?" Again, Jimmy nodded, grabbing his flashlight - a habit of his - and his walkytalky. That man was always so prepared, and Keith knew that it was unlikely for Jimmy to be anywhere without his flashlight and walkytalky. They were almost as attached to him as his skin.
Keith met Marianne's eyes as he finished cleaning up her cuts. "How are you doing, Marianne?"
She'd fallen into a deep sleep, comforted by the steady rhythm of Keith's breathing. He was warm, too. She noticed it when she no longer was being held in his arms, but she couldn't bring herself to open her eyes just yet.
"Marianne, we're here." She heard him say, as though from a great distance. There was another male voice nearby - oh...it was Jim. She decided she must be at the Police Department again.
Memories began flooding in of the last few times she had ended up here, and why. Then, Keith's voice reached her ears again with the one word that said it all.
The voice in her awoke completely with that one word, even though she knew it was not Keith calling her. A single tear fell down Marianne's cheek. The Melanie in her mind chuckled, and prepared herself for her next move. Keith began cleaning the cuts on her mangled feet, careful and taking his time with it. Marianne opened her eyes and sat up slightly in the chair, eyes wide and lips frowning.
"How are you doing, Marianne?"
Her brow furrowed deeply, still watching Keith with his unanswered question looming in the air. She was too tired from running across the beach to fight her for more than a moment longer. Within a frightening instance, Marianne faded into the background and Melanie leapt up on the chair, flying across to grab Keith's shoulders and pull him into a fierce kiss on his 'cautiously concerned' lips, her arms pulling her close to him and her feet wrapping around his waist so it would be harder for him to push her away. Melanie's thin arms tightened around his neck enough so her fingers could find their way into his hair, curling around the dark locks there. She only raised her lips for a moment to murmur, "Marianne's fine...but I'm feeling a little lonely..."
She turned back to his lips full-force, desperacy entwined with desire, finally falling back onto the chair and into Marianne, who was suddenly crying in deep gasps. "Oh my God! I...I...I'm sorry, Keith!" She buried her face in her hands again, her shoulders shaking violently now. "I-I shouldn't h-have done that!"
In the back of her mind, Melanie smirked and added. He tastes good.
Keith should have seen it coming... the battle within her was obvious from her distanced eyes. But he had not been prepared when Marianne jumped forwards, wrapping around him tightly as she kissed him with more passion than he could have ever been ready for. "Marianne's fine...but I'm feeling a little lonely..." she whispered. For a while, all he could be was breathless. By the time he caught his breath and his mind caught up with him, Marianne fell back into the chair, looking very frightened as she began to sob hard. His eyes were wide, but he was more concerned for her than anything.
"Oh my God! I...I...I'm sorry, Keith!" she cried, her hands pressing hard against her face as she trembled with the inner-earthquake of her surprise and regret. Keith frowned with concern. "I-I shouldn't h-have done that!"
He pulled her hands away slowly, so that he could look into her tear-stained eyes. "Marianne... Please... You'll hurt yourself if you keep this up." he said, then sighed. "I... It's alright." He smiled comfortingly up at her, caressing her pale hair gently. "Please calm down. I don't want you to go through any more than you already are." Keith leaned up and kissed her cheeks softly, one then the other. "It's alright... It's alright... I was surprised, but I'm not angry. I know, you are used to people being angry at you, aren't you? Poor Marianne..." He wrapped his arms around her as easily as he could, wanting to hold her tightly but managing to control himself. "It's alright." Keith leaned back to press his lips against hers, but it was worlds more soft, as he tended to be. He was still breathless by the touch, but it wasn't because he couldn't breathe this time. It was because... Because it was Marianne.
Keith stood up, picking Marianne up for a moment to let her sit in his lap. "There." he said as he pulled her close again. "You stay here for a while. No one is mad at you here, Marianne... No one is mad at you here."
"Please calm down. I don't want you to go through any more than you already are." Keith planted a soft kiss on each of her cheeks. "It's alright... It's alright... I was surprised, but I'm not angry. I know, you are used to people being angry at you, aren't you? Poor Marianne..."
Her eyes widened as his thick arms wrapped tightly around her. Marianne felt herself shaking all over, confused and torn. "It's alright." He was all gentleness in holding her, and when he pulled away to kiss her - on the lips this time - it the most butterfly-like of kisses possible. For a long moment, she forgot about the guilt she felt over kissing him like that, and started to be glad that she had.
"There." Somehow she found herself cradled in his arms like a child again, her head against his chest as she willed herself to stop trembling like a leaf. "You stay here for a while. No one is mad at you here, Marianne... No one is mad at you here."
"But they should be...what can I do about her? I...." she bit her lip, mentally screaming at herself to stop. "I'm so sick of her, Keith! But she's a part of me now...I can't imagine how it felt without her now..."
She was shaking so hard. His innerwill wanted to find some way, any way, to calm her down. It tore at his soul to see others in pain or to see them frightened. Especially when it was because of him.
But this time wasn't because of him... It was Melanie. He wished so much to be able to help Marianne. But he couldnt... he could only be there or her.
"But they should be...what can I do about her? I...." Marianne said, her voice slow. Keith sighed.
"I don't know, Marianne." he said, rocking her gently. "I wish I knew."
"I'm so sick of her, Keith! But she's a part of me now...I can't imagine how it felt without her now..." she continued, and Keith held her a little closer.
"Sh..." he soothed, leaning so that her head was under his chin. "Perhaps... we can find a way to make this better together." He rocked her silently for a few moments. "I promise that you will feel better soon... Whether it is that we subdue her or we berid you of her. I will help you... I promise..."
In his soul, he was hurting too. Not because Melanie bothered him.... oddly enough, she wasn't that much of a problem for him. Surprising and unnerving, but... he couldn't imagine having someone else in control of him. He could only guess that it was horrible and painful.
It was his duty to be there for those in need. It was his honor to be there for a lady. But for Marianne... there was little he wouldn't do.
"Hey, buddy." Jimmy's voice called. Keith looked up to see his partner peeking through the door. Jimmy moved inside, setting Marianne's bag down on Keith's desk. Mouthing 'thank you', Keith motioned slightly with his head towards the door. He needed someone out there to keep an eye on things. "I'm going to hang around the beach for a while more tonight. You stay here with her." Keith's eyes were pleading thankful as his friend went back out. He pulled Marianne yet closer. | 2019-04-24T16:13:45Z | http://belanombre.forumotion.com/t14-bela-nombre-police-department |
We present the results of the first annual Human-Agent League of ANAC. By introducing a new human-agent negotiating platform to the research community at large, we facilitated new advancements in human-aware agents. This has succeeded in pushing the envelope in agent design, and creating a corpus of useful human-agent interaction data. Our results indicate a variety of agents were submitted, and that their varying strategies had distinct outcomes on many measures of the negotiation. These agents approach the problems endemic to human negotiation, including user modeling, bidding strategy, rapport techniques, and strategic bargaining. Some agents employed advanced tactics in information gathering or emotional displays and gained more points than their opponents, while others were considered more "likeable" by their partners. | 2019-04-20T20:25:56Z | https://ir.cwi.nl/pub/28288 |

The bridge between existence and transcendence.
The above explains the opening verse of Parshat Chukas about the red heifer, which purifies from the impurity of death: The divine is concealed in existence (Elokim). In the Garden of Eden there was divine revelation (Havaya, chochma). Through human efforts -- "to serve and protect," Torah, mitzvot and offerings -- we draw down additional divine energy from keser (the 620 pillars of light), rooted in the impression of the infinite energy (sovev) within the finite energy (memaleh).
The service of the the poroh adumah (red heifer), which purifies from impurity, was all done "outside" (of the temple), referring to the work of teshuvah -- "burning" the desires of the evil inclination, breaking it down to ash, the core power of desire (koach ha'misaveh), harnessing and transforming it to the sacred. This teshuvah reaches and draws energy from the synergistic transcendental energy within the ten hidden sefirot, and beyond that -- the infinite energy (the higher Havaya).
Hidden sefirot; Parah Adumah; Infinite Energy. | 2019-04-21T18:54:36Z | https://www.ayinbeis.com/Chapter%2028%20(2) |

The Sandra Bland Act law requires corrections professionals to determine whether inmates suffer from mental illness and divert those who do to a mental health facility. The law also ensures that cell checks are properly done by providing funding for automated electronic sensors.
MAPLE GROVE, Minn., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire—GUARDIAN RFID, the global leader in inmate management and tracking systems and the Fort Bend Co. Sheriff's Office (Richmond, Texas) are leading a joint Webinar on maximizing compliance with the Sandra Bland Act.
Signed into law in June 2017 by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the Sandra Bland Act sees changes to bail reform, jail diversion, jail safety, officer training, racial profiling, data collection, officer discipline and behavioral health.
The new law stems from the death of Sandra Bland, a 28-year old woman from Illinois who died in the Waller County Jail days after being arrested during a traffic stop. Her death was ruled a suicide.
Captain Daniel Quam, Jail Administrator from Fort Bend Co. Sheriff's Office, and Greg Piper, Senior Training and Implementation Specialist at GUARDIAN RFID, will moderate the 45-minute discussion on how to gain compliance with the electronic monitoring portions of the Sandra Bland Act and Texas Jail Standards. This includes data collection, reporting, and integration with a facility's existing jail management system.
Captain Quam is an 18-year veteran of the Fort Bend Co. Sheriffs' Office. He serves on multiple committees and is a lifetime member of the Texas Jail Association.
Greg Piper has over 15 years of correctional experience, having worked with the Kansas Department of Corrections and the Hamilton Co. Sheriff's Office Jail Division in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Policy and workflow considerations to maximize compliance and defensibility.

SPARTAN, the ultra-rugged Android exclusively GUARDIAN RFID, runs Mobile Command software, a fully configurable mobile platform to collect data pertinent to Texas Jail Standards and demonstrate compliance with the Sandra Bland Act.

It is located in the northeastern side of Athos, after a 45 minute walk from the arsana (harbor). Some state that it was named after its original founder Hilandario, captain of a byzantine type boat named Hilandion. Historical data though, place its foundation in 1197, from the Grand Zupan of Serbia, Stephen Nemania and his son Rastko, who later became monks named Simeon and Savvas respectively. The latter later became the archbishop of Serbs. They were both declared saints of Serbian church after their deaths and still receive special honors from Serbian people. The settling of Serbian monks was validated in 1198 by a Golden Bull of Alexios III Aggelos. The monastery has been the stronghold of Serbian monasticism for centuries. It was later supported financially by prince Stephen Miloutin, and a tower was built, on the road leading to the arsanas.
The ruler Neagoe Basarab emerged as its protector during Ottoman rule. In the 17th century, the monastery extended its wings, wall painted the Altar and prettified the Catholicon. During the middle of the same century the library was one of most remarkable Slavic libraries. The one and only violation of the “Avaton” happened here, when the famous ruler of Serbia, Stephen Dousan and his wife Elizabeth, who later became a nun in Serres, visited it in 1345. The building complex was severely tested by fires in 1722 and 1891. The fire that broke in March 2004 burned nearly half of the buildings.
The Catholicon is dedicated to the Presentation of Virgin Mary and was built in early 14th century over the foundations of an older church. The floor that is made of white marble with a large cross in the middle, surrounded by multicolored strips of marble is still preserved. In 1319, hagiographers Eftichios and Michael decorated the temple with Macedonian style pictures. Currently, there is an attempt in highlighting the original murals that had been painted over in 1804. It has a wooden “iconostasio” (icon‐screen) of 1774. The original tomb of St. Simeon is located here. | 2019-04-23T04:35:13Z | http://dimosaristoteli.gr/en/culture/holly-mountain-hilandariou-monastery |

There are many challenges in motherhood — am I right or am I right? One of the most challenging parts for me has been learning to give my children the space to find solutions for themselves.
Whether it be a fight between siblings, a disagreement on the playground, or something my husband is trying to resolve with our child, my first instinct is to step in and come to my children’s rescue. I think that the mama bear instinct has something to do with always wanting to be the solution to all of my children’s problems. Thinking that I am protecting my children by speaking and acting for them, I have recently learned that I am doing them a disservice — instead of helping them grow into individuals who can stand on their own.
It has taken me about five years to understand that my children can think for themselves. Practicing in standing aside, I have proudly experienced that my children can and will find solutions to simple obstacles. I now get how important it is for their development for me to step back and allow them to learn the ways of their world, with my guidance of course.
The following are five benefits to sitting back and allowing our children to do things for themselves.
Creating a safe space for children to try things, to fall and get back up, and to explore their surroundings is a great way to aid our children in building confidence.
Providing our children the safe space to explore solutions to their challenges will demonstrate to them that we trust them to try things for themselves. This will help make obstacles less scary and more normal, and will help our children trust themselves because we are modeling that trust for them.
This one may sound similar to benefit No. 2, but it is different. Children need to trust themselves and trust you as their parent. The combination of both kinds of trust is critical to know what a healthy two-way confiding relationship is.
This benefit is my favorite because most of the time I spend with my children, I am interacting with them. I rarely get to enjoy watching their brains work to find solutions. When I do give them a chance to resolve an issue on their own, I am allowing myself to soak in the bittersweet parenting moment of knowing that I am helping my children become individuals who can think for themselves.
None of what I mentioned is easy. Building confidence, building trust, and providing the space for my children to fall and potentially get hurt makes my mama heart hurt a bit, or maybe a lot. However, in reflecting on the benefits, I know that it is for the best because one day I will not be here to protect my children. I prefer to know that they are their own best defense. | 2019-04-23T12:02:30Z | https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/03/5-benefits-to-sitting-back-and-allowing-your-children-do-it/ |
Things went really well this week for us :). Like really really well :). This week we were able to...TEACH 21 lessons! XD. We were so excited when we finished off the week having taught that many lessons. This next week though we have a goal of teaching 25 lessons! XD we also found 3 new people to teach this week and they all accepted our invitation to be baptized :). Heavenly father is definitely blessing us right now in our work :). Transfer calls come this week and me and my companion, Elder Farnsworth, are really hoping to stay together another transfer. He is probably one of the companions i have gotten along the best with :). The 4th of july was alright. I definitely enjoyed the fact that we got an all day p-day but we really couldn't figure out what to do hahaha. We kinda just did random stuff throughout the day and then at night hung out at a members house :).
So ya that's another awesome thing about idaho is that your experience you had with fireworks on 4th of july happens here too hahaha. Everyone goes and gets fireworks and lights them off in their backyards and what not :). | 2019-04-26T01:39:55Z | http://elderjordanarrowchis.blogspot.com/2013/07/chapter-78-july-8-2013.html |
If you have been following my Friday Focus features for a little while you’ll know that they aim to bring you fresh designers and talent from the Middle East that you may not have come across. Some might not think this, but Dubai actually stocks some great international brands too and one of the best places to find them is at Harvey Nichols-Dubai including this fresh new designer Maggie Marilyn.
The easy to wear feminine pieces are becoming more prominent in modern women’s wardrobe from the likes of Magda Butrym, Ellery and By Malene Birger. They all offer a great cut and a unique design which takes them from simple to statement and that is what the New Zealand designer Maggie Marilyn offers. What is so great about her approach and what seems to resonate with a modern day shopper, is her desire to produce everything in her home country using local materials.
I personally rate her denim pieces as well as flared trousers, a shape that is proving to be popular well into the next couple of seasons. Ruffles also play their part and are a gold way to add texture when styled with clean cut pieces like a white shirt or a pencils skirt. Her Fall 2017 collection also offers a sportier touch to dressing which I’m a huge fan of and will be styling a sporty tailored look soon.
Learn more about the designer here and shop her collection at Harvey Nichols – Dubai as well as some of my top picks below.
Really loving the trend pieces in their collection. Unique but wearable! | 2019-04-25T22:05:09Z | http://sweatshirtsanddresses.com/friday-focus-maggie-marilyn/ |

Miracle Organic Natural Afro Hair Growth Oil /elixir for natural Afro hair, curly hair and dry hair.
Miracle Organic Natural Afro Hair Growth Oil /elixir for natural Afro hair, curly hair and dry hair. With its essential oils and plant extracts specially formulated for growth, this miracle elixir also protects dry and brittle hair from breakage. Along with the organically grown carrier oils, the main ingredients include Ugandan Rosemary, Tanzanian Bell peppers and Coriander seeds.
Rosemary oil is generally celebrated as a miracle hair oil. It’s thought natural active ingredients in rosemary can help block some of the causes of baldness. There is increasing scientific evidence that rosemary oil can help boost hair growth.
The best way to use Rosemary oil for hair growth is by doing a Rosemary Oil Hot Treatment. Doing a hot oil treatment on the hair can allow the nutrients to penetrate deep into the hair follicle, locking in all the benefits for shiny, healthy, beautiful hair. To do a rosemary hot oil treatment, you’ll also need coconut oil and castor oil. Then add a few drops of your rosemary essential oil.
Burdock root oil can help strengthen hair by nourishing the scalp due to its vitamin A content and essential fatty acids. It may also reduce the symptoms of scalp conditions including dandruff, itchy scalp, redness and scalp infection.
Warning: Diabetics and pregnant women should be most careful when applying undiluted burdock root oil. Side effects of burdock oil may include reduction or increase in blood sugar levels, electrolyte imbalances and skin allergy.
Rosemary Oil to Grow Naturally Curly Hair, Burdock Root Oil to Grow Natural Black Hair.
Apply directly on scalp, use fingertips to gently stimulate the scalp and distribute oil. Use 3 times a week for best results. Expect to see results within 1-2 months of continuous use.
I have so much fullness and thickness.
I adore this stuff I've used it twice this year, and my hair loves it. It softens my hair and has made it so thick. | 2019-04-21T14:14:45Z | https://jostylin.com/product-page/natural-afro-hair-growth-oil-elixir |
Recently I was working on a project that contained an ASP.NET Wizard Control. The control was configured to allow non-linear progression through the WizardSteps. I realized that I needed to know which step the user had been on previously, as that would determine which control would have focus in the current step.
So I Googled, and was able to find out that I could use the Wizard Control’s GetHistory method to find the previous step. GetHistory returns a collection of the WizardStepBase objects that have been accessed, arranged in the order that they were accessed – the first object in the collection is the WizardStep that was accessed last, the next is the WizardStep that was accessed second-to-last, etc.
OK, so far, so good. But the MSDN documentation didn’t include an example of how to use the GetHistory method, and neither did the couple other mentions I found in other articles – they all said you could do it, but they didn’t say how. | 2019-04-19T20:17:03Z | https://techknowsolve.wordpress.com/2007/10/ |
The U.S. Army Blues, part of the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” is the premier jazz ensemble of the United States Army. After informal beginnings in 1970, this 18-piece ensemble became an official element of the Army Band in 1972. Comprised of exceptional jazz musicians from across the nation, the Army Blues strive to fulfill their mission through public concerts, educational outreach, and the preservation of the tradition of America’s unique art form: jazz.
The Army Blues have performed at prestigious venues such as the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, the famous Birdland jazz club in New York City, and the legendary jazz club Blues Alley club in Washington, DC. The band has shared the stage with jazz greats such as Dave Brubeck, Doc Severinsen, Stanley Turrentine, Slide Hampton, Dr. Billy Taylor, Kevin Mahogany, and Terell Stafford. The Army Blues give frequent performances at national conferences such as the Jazz Education Network annual conference, the International Trumpet Guild conference, the International Trombone Conference, and the Music Educators National Conference. The musicians of the Army Blues perform regularly at the White House, the Vice President’s Residence, the State Department, and for high-level military protocol and ceremonial events in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
The Jazz Ensemble, led by Paul Carr, is a popular ensemble for students across campus. 16-19 students are selected by audition to study myriad styles of jazz encompassing swing, Latin, fusion, bop, and the American Songbook. The band toured Europe in 1993, 1997, 2002, 2008, and 2015 with performances at Istanbul, Perugia, and in towns on the French Riviera. On previous tours the ensemble performed in Montreux, Vienné, Amsterdam, Paris, Bruges, Heidelberg, Athens, and Venice.

When the set designer for Netflix’s Mindhunter came calling for a number of plants and trees with a certain vintage vibe, we knew exactly where to find design inspiration that fit the style… As it happens, we’d just read a blog post about designer Jeff Lincoln channeling the 1980’s for a client’s multi-million dollar yacht. Armed with images of the interiors, we went looking for all things 80’s that would fit the aesthetic (think Golden Girls meets Terence Conran).
Since Mindhunter is a series based on the early days of the FBI’s criminal profiling unit, we found vintage brass and rattan planters for our aloe plants and traveler palms. These will pair well with all types of designer furniture, but especially the desks and chairs with chrome accents that we know will be used on set.
The harder challenge was sourcing faux house plants that were popular in this era as many of these haven’t made a come back. The good news is they still make a very good fiddle leaf fig tree and split leaf philo bush! Wouldn’t it be amazing if they put all of our designs in one room?
Stay tuned… Season 2 of Mindhunter is dropping sometime this fall and if it’s as binge-worthy as Season 1, we’re in for a treat.
Last fall, Bergdorf Goodman launched the new home collection for Gucci Decor with much fanfare and press and this month, they’re pushing the envelope again. This time with New Orleans pop artist Ashley Longshore who is making history as the first solo female artist to be exhibited on the 7th Floor.
Her extraordinary pieces have taken over the iconic store’s Fifth Avenue windows and a 945 square foot space that typically showcases more traditional home decor brands like Kim Seybert, John Derian and of course, Diane James. From paintings featuring Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, to diamond rugs, lipstick sculptures and giant champagne corks, Ashley’s eye-catching work is having a moment and her collectors (including Blake Lively and Penelope Cruz) agree.
When asked to describe her aesthetic, this very funny artist came up with “unapologetic, colorful, celebratory, sparkly, and humorous”… And we think this is exactly what the world needs: a little more glittery goodness. We just hope Ashley’s pieces don’t sell out before we get to see them in person.
is gold! Did you know that the original saying was penned by Shakespeare and appears in Act II of The Merchant of Venice?
With Christmas just around the corner, we know that time is of an essence so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite glittery gifts that won’t break the bank.
And the good news is, if you place your order this weekend, you’ll have these by the end of the week!
Fall weather is finally coming our way after a beautiful couple of weeks of Indian summer. That means bringing the party indoors and sprucing up the house with some cozy fall accents. From Vietnam, a country known for centuries-old gold leaf and lacquer tradition, this luxurious gold tray was inspired by the doorways of India’s Rambagh Palace and is perfect for serving cocktails or hors d’oeuvres.
Speaking of serving, we love Blue Pheasant’s Halette spoons… Made of gorgeously striated horn and cream-colored bone they are a hostess’s best friend.
You can walk on the wild side and add a bit of luxe lodge decor to you coffee table with these Tanner coasters. Not only are they extremely chic, they’re practical, too!
Every powder room needs a beautiful candle and this one comes with its own quartz coaster. Imagine a light wood scent mixed with notes of rosewood, cardamom, amber, and vetiver to create a sultry combination of sweet and spicy.
What goes best with a cool fall evening and a roaring bonfire? Hot cocoa, of course! Flying Bird’s Chocolate Lover’s Gift Box comes with four charming tins of organic heirloom cacao blends – a great gift for your favorite chocolate lover or just for yourself!
Now that it’s really fall, what are you doing to get party ready?
Here’s something new for Kanye West to sing about… Gucci’s launching a home decor collection this fall partly inspired by last summer’s Westminster Abbey Cruise show. Now this Gucci uber fan can decorate his home(s) in floor to ceiling Gucci – from cushions and candles to wallpaper and chairs.
While we wouldn’t recommend replacing all of your decor with this colorful accessories, a chair here or a candle there would add pizzazz to any room. How about a red velvet throw pillow with a bright bee (you know we’re partial to bees and these are embroidered and then hand applied, rumored to be a 10-hour process) or a toile covered mug topped with a rooster? Gucci Decor hits stores in September so keep an eye out for these fabulous finds.
Happy Friday all and may your weekend be filled with color!
Our #fridayfun brought us to Greenwich last week where we took the opportunity to visit some new (at least to us!) home decor stores in the area. Our first stop was The Perfect Provenance since we heard the restaurant there, Cafe 47, was amazing… and it was lunchtime!
Founded by Lisa Lori who has an extensive background in PR and fashion, this local gem features four to five curated “exhibitions” a year which inspire the whole retail experience. For each theme (St. Bart’s is the current one), Lori picks products with a story, whether it’s art, books, fashion, home decor or beauty. These little luxuries are artfully displayed in separate rooms on two floors of the 1912 house and each vignette takes you away to another world.
And let’s not forget the food which truly showcases Chef Arik Bensimon’s heritage (or provenance), having honed his craft at some of New York’s most iconic restaurants. We highly recommend lunch or dinner on the porch but make sure to reserve ahead since there are only five or six tables!
If you want to thank the hostess with the mostest or be the best guest ever, then arrive with a special gift that will make her love you even more… A small token of appreciation is always a good thing, no matter the size or cost. Summer is meant for party hopping and weekend getaways so it’s best to plan ahead. We’ve just added these lovelies and a lot more to our gift selection on Diane James Home so you’re welcome!
Happy Friday and may your weekend be as wonderful as you are!
P.S. Select gifts are up to 40% off so now’s the time to stock up.
It’s time to spruce up the terrace for summertime fun and there’s no better place to pick up some fashionable finds at a reasonable price than Zara Home. What started out as a casual browsing of the “Picnic” category for colorful melamine plates and acrylic glasses ended up as a jaw dropping exploration of La Grande Illusione, the company’s ephemeral installation for the 56th edition of The Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.
This collaboration tapped the British set designer and art director Simon Costin to bring the brand closer to the world of design using the Spring/Summer 2017 collection as fashion accessories. Costume designer Spencer Horne fashioned the frocks while Thierry Boutemy took care of the flowers.
“Folktales and fairy stories have always been the bedrock that I work from,” states Costin in a video about his work and you can’t help but be enchanted by the photographs shot by Tim Walker that bring the magical creations to life.
Needless to say, while we loved the distraction, we still haven’t shopped for the terrace!
We’ve been dying to carry Twig NY’s whimsical tabletop accessories on our website for quite a while so we finally took the plunge and ordered our favorite patterns for spring. As huge fans of Brittany Jepsen and her quirky, colorful DYI site The House That Lars Built, we were immediately drawn to her collections filled with botanical beauty.
For Petals, Brittany pulled flowers apart and arranged the petals into a rainbow pattern that was then photographed and transformed into decals. The design takes on a vibrant three dimensional quality when used on a mug or platter and the palette is gorgeous.
Based on the traditional rosemaling painting technique that is common in Scandinavia, Brittany took a lovely folk pattern and replaced it with beautifully photographed real flowers for her collection, Scandanavian Floral. We think these mugs are a wonderful way to start the day, don’t you?
The charming floral design of Britanny’s Language of Flowers collection records a love poem written by a boy to his darling in the Victorian-era secret language of flowers. Starting with the left side of the wreath and reading to the right side, each flower reveals a sentiment though we’re not quite sure what the message actually says. All we know is that the hand-painted designs are so cheerful and pretty that this serving bowl is sure to become a party favorite.
Our new collection, Untamed Nature, is now available so please come and visit our new Spring 2017 site!
P.S. And special thanks to our dear friend Patricia from PVE Design for her wonderful watercolor which graces our home page.
The use of real stones in home decor is nothing new, ask designer Kelly Wearstler, who made the trend popular years ago. Her collections include everything from marble lips and dog bowls to bejeweled bottle openers and trinket boxes. But what would she think of these replicas?
We’re loving how the look of stone is being captured in so many ways and can now be displayed not only on the walls, but on the floor. Can you believe this is a rug?
while these coasters add the right splash of color to a coffee table.
And this serving board (ceramic, not marble!) elevates the lowly cheese plate to a stylish meal.
All we can say is… These are faux real! | 2019-04-25T20:00:43Z | http://thebuzz.dianejameshome.com/category/finds/fabulous-finds/ |

Valletta Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Danilo Doncic as new Coach for its senior squad. The former Valletta FC striker has signed a contract with the club until the end of season 2018/2019.
Doncic replaces Zoran Popovic whose contract was terminated by mutual agreement following a meeting between president Victor Sciriha and the Serbian coach.
Danilo Doncic had started this season as coach of St. Andrews but his contract was terminated in September after joining the Saints early in October 2016 and leading them to securing their Premier League status at the end of last season.
He had started his coaching career with First Division side San Gwann in season 2006/07. The following season, he was appointed coach of Floriana. In July 2008, he moved to Bulgaria joining PFK Lokomotiv Sofia as assistant coach of the first time. Doncic then joined Greek top division side Kavala as assistant coach in June 2010. He moved to Malta in January 2011, joining Sliema Wanderers the following month. In summer 2012, he joined Tarxien Rainbows but stepped down after the first two games. He moved to Mosta in February 2013 but his contract was terminated in December by mutual consent.
Doncic then coached Al-Najma in Bahrain before moving to Greece where he led Ethnikos in Greece. | 2019-04-26T13:37:39Z | http://www.maltafootball.com/2017/12/18/danilo-doncic-appointed-valletta-fc-coach/ |
A 39-year old female with non-remarkable medical history presented for extraction of the non-restorable primary maxil- lary right canine (53) and implant replacement (Figs. 1–3). Tooth in Regio 13 had been removed over 20 years ago because of high impaction.

Clinical instructor at the Washington Hospital Center OMFS Residency program. Reviewer for the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. ITI member.
A delayed implant placement was planned to achieve a better control of the soft tissue contour and architecture. The alveolar ridge was narrow with buccal undercut, therefore, a small diameter implant design was treatment planned for the site. The potential for high forces, compromised bone quality and quantity, as well as esthetic demands required the use of a fast healing and strong implant with prosthetic flexibility to achieve the desired goal.
The initial phase involved removal of tooth in Regio 53 and placement of an interim removable partial denture to provisionalize the site (Fig. 4). The denture tooth in the prosthesis was shaped as an ovate pontic to contour the gingiva (Fig. 5) while awaiting implant placement (Fig. 6). Two weeks later, a flapless osteotomy with cooled saline irrigation was made in type 3 bone, following the socket contours to help pre- serve the original canine eminence. During the osteotomy, a buccal fenestration was created apical to the socket of the primary tooth. After completion of the osteotomy using a final drill of 2.8 mm, the fenestration was grafted with a xenograft material through the osteotomy. A Roxolid® implant (Straumann® Bone Level Implant NC 3.3 mm, SLActive® 12 mm) was placed with primary stability using a hand- piece at 35 Ncm (Figs. 7, 8). A conical healing abutment (Ø 3.6 mm/height 3.5 mm) was placed and no sutures were required (Figs. 9–11).
Immediately after implant placement a temporary abutment was connected to the implant, prepared (Fig. 12); and a methyl methacrylate shell was relined to fabricate a provisional screw-retained restoration. The crown was adjusted to avoid occlusal contact, polished and torqued to 15 Ncm. (Fig. 13). The screw access hole was sealed with a light- cured provisional composite resin. At the one-week postoperative appointment the patient showed excellent gingival health around the implant site (Fig. 14). Approximately four weeks after implant placement the provisional restoration was removed and a closed tray NC impression post was connected to the implant to make the final impression. Notes and photos of the desired shade, con- tours and surface texture were forwarded to the laboratory (Fig. 15). A CAD/CAM customized zirconia abutment was designed to provide adequate parallelism and emergence contours. The abutment was scanned to fabricate a zirconia coping which was veneered with compatible porcelain to obtain proper anatomy, esthetics and function (Figs. 16, 17). About six weeks after implant placement the restorations were tried in and all necessary adjust- ments were made. The abutment was torqued to 35 Ncm (Fig. 18), the access hole sealed with gutta-percha and a light-cured composite resin, and the zirconia crown was cemented with a self-etching resin cement (Figs. 19–21). Follow-up postoperative appointments were scheduled at one week and one month. The final restoration displayed excellent gingival health and natural esthetics (Figs. 22, 23).
The advantages provided by Roxolid® and SLActive® allowed for the use of a small diameter implant in a compromised tooth space with high occlusal forces and high esthetic demands. From an esthetic standpoint, the small diameter elimi- nated the potential for additional procedures such as soft tissue grafting to bulk up the highly scalloped thin gingiva. The proven faster osseointegration granted the clinicians the confidence for immediate provisionalization even in compromised bone. This provided the patient with her desired fixed provisional restoration and helped maintain the peri-implant gingival contours. The esthetic benefits of this ap- proach are evidenced by the rapid and favorable soft-tissue response obtained in this case. From a functional perspective, the aforementioned factors reduced the number of procedures, thereby decreasing the cost for the clinicians and discomfort to the patient, while delivering the best possible immediate provisionalization. The insertion of the definitive restoration at six weeks in compromised bone allows the patient to resume normal function earlier, providing additional comfort and abbreviating total treatment time.
This clinical case report was first published in STARGET 3/2010. | 2019-04-22T14:35:54Z | https://www.straumann.com/en/discover/news/about/archive/news.html?path=/content/straumann/com/en/shared/news/dental-implant-materials/mariano-polack-joseph-arzadon-immediate-replacement-of-primary-maxillary-right-canine-with-roxolid-implant |

The Mughals are often credited with bringing the biryani to India. Naturally then, their preparation of this delicacy is often considered the most authentic by many biryani lovers. This innovative preparation straight from the royal kitchens of the Mughal empire is typically made with mutton chunks marinated in yoghurt infused with spices. The cooked meat is then incorporated into rice with rich spices. Some of the best Mughlai Biryani preparations today can be found in and around Delhi, once a power seat of the Mughals.
Be it the richness of culture or food, Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, is always on point. One such treasure hidden in its folds is the Awadhi Biryani, which is undoubtedly one of the richest types of biryani in India that stands out for its dum pukht style of cooking. The meat is infused with spices and cooked partially before being combined with rice flavoured with intensely aromatic spices like saffron, cinnamon and star anise. The rice and meat are assorted in layers in a handi and cooked in dum style for several hours to allow a deep penetrate of flavours through every morsel. The Awadhi Biryani is an intricate preparation characterised by mild but rich flavours.
Even though its place of origin has since been renamed Kolkata, the biryani retains its original name, and in effect, its original flavour that is the trademark of the contagious Calcutta vibe. The Calcutta Biryani traces its roots to the classic Awadhi Biryani but also carries the typical Bengali flavours. This type of biryani is characterised by understated flavours, with a slightly sparing use of spices and a tinge of sweetness. One clear distinction that sets this biryani apart from its ilk is the use of yellow rice that is layered with cooked chunks of yoghurt-based meat, potatoes and soft boiled eggs. The unique flavours of the Calcutta Biryani come from the use of spices like kewra and nutmeg, in addition to saffron.
The cuisine of the Malabar region, especially Kerala, is a riot of flavour with many surprisingly rich delicacies hidden in its kitchens. The Thalassery Biryani is one such regional preparation that will really knock you off your feet. It is a type of biryani that perfectly sums up the adaption of a classic preparation as per regional cultural and ethnic influences. One of the most significant departures from the classic biryani preparations is the use of the indigenous variety of Jeerakasala or Khyma rice instead of long-grain, aromatic basmati. It also relies heavily on the use of locally sourced Malabar spices. The flavours of the dish are enhanced several notches with the used of fried onions, raisin, sautéed cashew nuts and fennel seeds. Also, the rice and meat are cooked separately and mixed just before serving.
As the name suggests, the Sindhi Biryani traces its origin to the Sindh region that now forms part of Pakistan. It is a type of biryani that stands out for its diversity of ingredients, each of which adds a unique note of flavour to the dish. The Sindhi biryani makes a generous use of chopped green chillies, mint and coriander leaves, roasted spices, fried onions, sour yoghurt, dried fruit, nuts, potatoes and even plums. The combination of ingredients may sound a bit peculiar but it is fascinating how the flavours work well together to deliver a rich, succulent type of biryani that you just cannot have enough of.
Must try all varieties. Excellent. | 2019-04-21T12:21:10Z | https://www.wandereatrepeat.com/five-types-of-biryani-in-india-you-must-try/ |

Melibiose is disaccharide consisting of one galactose and one glucose moiety in an alpha (1-6) glycosidic linkage. This sugar is produced and metabolized only by enteric and lactic acid bacteria and other microbes, such as Dickeya dadantii, Escherichia, Leuconostoc and Saccharomyces (PMID: 19734309 ; PMID: 28453942 ) (ChEBI). It is not an endogenous metabolite but may be obtained from the consumption of partially fermented molasses, brown sugar or honey. Antibodies to melibiose will appear in individuals affected by Chagas' disease (Trypanosoma cruzi infection). Melibiose is not metabolized by humans, but can be broken down by gut microflora, such as E. coli. In fact, E. coli is able to utilize melibiose as a sole source of carbon. Melibiose is first imported by the melibiose permease, MelB and then converted to β-D-glucose and β-D-galactose by the α-galactosidase encoded by melA. Because of its poor digestability Melibiose (along with rhamnose) can be used together for noninvasive intestinal mucosa barrier testing. This test can be used to assess malabsorption or impairment of intestinal permeability. Recent studies with dietary melibiose have shown that can strongly affected the Th cell responses to an ingested antigen. It has been suggested that melibiose could be used to enhance the induction of oral tolerance. (PMID 17986780 ).
May serve as an alternate pathway for starch digestion when luminal alpha-amylase activity is reduced because of immaturity or malnutrition. May play a unique role in the digestion of malted dietary oligosaccharides used in food manufacturing. | 2019-04-20T16:23:43Z | http://www.hmdb.ca/metabolites/HMDB0000048 |

Since it was founded in 1998, Black+Blum has a consistent design philosophy that makes their products successful. They designed only unique and functional products. By this way, they have won more than 25 international design awards and they designed functional products for their users. I recently had the opportunity to talk with Dan Black, Co-founder and Lead Designer of Black+Blum, and asked him about the past, present and future of Black+Blum.
Dan, could you tell us about your educational background and professional design career? Who is Dan Black?
My father had a factory that made slippers and bags, so I grew up from a very early age discussing business and products. I have three older brothers and all four of us have our own companies, so discussing products and business around the kitchen table, must have rubbed off on us. My eldest brother makes bed and has a company called Button & Sprung, the other two brothers have a childcare business called My Family Care.
I studied product design at Northumbria University (the course is called Design for Industry and famous graduates include Jonny Ive - head of design at Apple). It was a fantastic course and in the 2nd and 3rd year, you go on placement to work in industry. Each student would work somewhere different and learn something new. They would then bring these skills back and the students would lean off each other. I did internships at IDEO London and Frog Design California.
I always had a love of products, but it wasn’t until I was studying design at university, that I really considered making it my career it. My parents were pretty enlightened and always encouraged me to pursue a career in a subject I enjoyed. I am lucky that there are lots of things I enjoy. I have ended up being a homeware designer (now specialising in water bottles and lunchboxes), but I am sure I would have been just as happy designing furniture, lighting, gardens, bags, shoes or even buildings. Equally, I have an ambition one day to become a landscape or still life painter.
How did you meet with Martin Blum? Why did you decide to establish black+blum?
Martin Blum is a friend from university and we studied on the same course at the same time. While on the course, we always talked about starting a company together and the dream job being to design and make our own products that we were passionate about. So I feel very lucky that this is what I am now doing. Martin is still a good friend, but hasn’t been involved in the business for over five years.
How would you describe your design approach? What is your signature in your designs? What is your creativity source?
Our early designs had no specific category. We designed, lighting, fans, barbecues, basically anything that we thought was a good idea. There was no set price range, material or aesthetic style. It always started with an idea, but apart from that, it was pretty much a blank canvas. Now we are focusing on ‘food and drink on the go’ and are developing a strict design language, but each design still starts with a unique idea where we are performing a function better than what is currently on the market and doing something different. All our designs are unique to us and are developed from scratch. We want our designs to always be functional and to give the owner pleasure in using them. We would hate to launch a product, which is similar to others on the market or even a gadget (a product which is supposed to solve a problem, but doesn’t work and ends up not being used). There are already too many products being made in the world, so it is a designer’s responsibility to only produce items which function well.
What type of projects do you prefer and enjoy working on the most? What is your favorite material to use in your designs?
We love working on designs where we genuinely feel what we have created something new and special and better than anything else on the market. We like to work with materials like stainless steel, glass, and cork. These are all materials that can get better with age and use. Plastics have so many functional and manufacturing advantages, but it is not always easy to give it the same value as other materials, because people are used to it being low value and associate it with products, which are disposable. We want our designs to get better with use, and develop their own soul and character as they age and wear. Designs which get better with use are the ones that you value the most and have the chance of becoming antiques of the future.
What was your first commercial work? What has been changed in the design industry and your vision over the years from the first one to now?
Our first design was a light called ‘Climbing Light’. It was extremely minimal, being made from just a piece of wire and an electric cord-set. You screwed it to the wall and with a chrome top bulb, it became an extremely functional down-light above your bed. At the time of launching this in 2000, using a character in design was not common. Alessi had only just launched their designs with Philippe Stark and people were realising that character could be used in design. The clever thing about character and humor in design is that it can appeal to all tastes and ages and even design purists. Today, we don’t use a character in design, but only because it is now very commonplace and doesn’t necessarily add value to the items we are designing. The function is now our key priority over character.
It is hard to talk about all your designs, so I select the most celebrity one, James the doorman. James is your iconic design that everybody knows. What was the story of James? What was the contribution of James to the success of black+blum?
In a design career that spans twenty years, you need some luck along the way. James was ours. We had just moved to our studio in the Oxo Tower in the year 2001. We had a heavy glass door and wanted to create a fun doorstop that would hold it open. So we cut out of wood the rough shape of a person pushing the door. It was amazing how many people commented on it, so we thought we should produce an actual design that we could sell.
In 2002 we showed the design that people know today as ‘James the doorman’ at a trade fair. It got a good reaction and we took a few orders from some nice design shops. At the end of the show, an American lady came up to our stand and said that she really liked the design and would like to order some. She gave me her business card. I didn’t recognize the name of the company, but I followed up and sent her an email with some prices. The company was Target, one of the largest retailers in the US. They ended up ordering a lot of James the doorman and this gave us enough money to grow the company and invest in new designs. I have three children and my oldest son is called Jamie… I joke with him that he is named after ‘James the doorman’, who came before him.
How do you decide to start a new project and run to the end? Do you make a plan or only expect inspiration?
Nowadays, we have a 2-3 year project pipeline. This means we are pretty disciplined about analyzing how any new design will fit into our range. Designs can take 18 – 24 months to develop, so it really helps to plan designs well in advance. In the past, we weren’t so organised and designs came about by chance. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods. Sometimes sparks of inspiration come out of nowhere, but generally, this happens when you have subconsciously been thinking around the issue for some time.
Could you tell us about your Studio and your team? Is it possible that our readers can visit you to see and buy your products on the source?
Our office and design studio are situated in the Oxo Tower, which is next to the river Thames in central London, between the London Eye and the Tate Modern. It isn’t a big space, but there is a small shop area and people are very welcome to come and visit and we can talk them through the designs. Our team is made up product designers, graphic design, sales, and sourcing. We are lucky to have such a great team and everyone is extremely passionate about the products we design and sell.
What do you think about 3D printers? How did they affect the design culture? Do you still use paper and pen for your sketches, or is everything digital now?
We do use 3d printers a lot to help us understand form and size an early stage of development. But, we still always start a project by doing a lot of sketching first. CAD and advanced rendering software, makes it very easy to visualize a new design on the computer quickly, but physical models (whether cardboard or 3D printed) are also essential. I don’t think the computer has taken away the need to sketch and 3D visualization has not taken away the need to model making. The process of design hasn’t changed, but CAD and 3D printed models just help make certain aspects of the process quicker.
It might sound corny, but follow your heart and design products that you are passionate about and you would want to use yourself. Don’t always settle on the first idea you come up with, but continually challenge how you can refine it or make it more minimal. There are already too many products in the world, so always ask yourself ‘does the world really need another ...?’. If the answer is no, how do you justify designing it?
When we first started designing products, social media and digital cameras didn’t exist. These two factors have had a massive impact on design. Firstly, customers are more savvy in terms of appreciating good design or rather having a better knowledge of what their options are. Secondly, it has helped make it easier for designers to be able to communicate the functionality of new designs.
We have some really exciting new designs in the pipeline, so watch this space or sign up to our mailing list or follow us on social media, so we can update with all our new launches. | 2019-04-25T17:58:39Z | https://www.bontena.com/contents/2018/07/Interview-with-Dan-Black-Co-founder-and-Lead-Designer-of-Black-Blum-18071302 |
In partnership with Bates Wells & Braithwaite. Supported by Barrow Cadbury Trust. This page is drawn from Thinking about Merger, edition three. Full references can be found at the bottom of the page.
A merger is one of the most challenging steps an organisation can make. It can create tensions as well as excitement, be the cause of much debate, and lead to permanent and irreversible change.
Drawing from previous research and experience (our own and that of others) this section brings together a number of things to consider when thinking about a merger.
However, these are not mutually exclusive and can occur in combination.
The desire to meet users' needs more effectively has been a strong driver in several mergers. By combining the skills and reach of two organisations it can be possible to deliver more benefits to beneficiaries.
A desire for voluntary organisations to have greater influence on their external environment – particularly on funders and policy-makers – has been a recurring theme in our research. The merger of voluntary organisations concerned with slightly different aspects of work with a single client group, can create an enhanced evidence base for policy advocacy.
Our research suggests very few organisations actively go out to seek a merger partner, although they may compare the merits of potential partners. More usually, the idea of merger springs from existing contacts and joint work with organisations building up towards closer collaborative working, a shared understanding of the needs of a client group and the development of trust.
Smaller organisations can feel vulnerable in a highly competitive and volatile environment. A lack of organisational infrastructure may make it difficult for them to provide, fundraise and market for their primary activities. Merger could be viewed as a way to continue providing a service to their client group with more resources and a less fragile infrastructure.
Funding-related issues have a bearing on many merger decisions. Some public funders may try to make savings by funding a smaller number of organisations in their area, applying pressure to collaborate.
Governance issues can also be drivers towards merger, e.g. lack of strategic engagement or staff/trustee disagreements over future direction. Trustees of smaller voluntary organisations often have to volunteer large amounts of their time, which may become too much to cope with despite their high levels of commitment to the organisation.
In practice it may be for a combination of factors.
We have worked on many mergers & would be happy to share our experience.

The Perception Series – How soon before Fiction becomes Fact?
The theme or story question in The Perception Series is Will Science Go Too Far?
If you've read the trilogy, you know that artificial intelligence is a big piece of the story line, and we follow robot development and integration in society over the three books. In my story this doesn't turn out well for human kind. But it's fiction, right?
Well, take a look at this video. The last thing “Sophia” says is kind of creepy.
The ending of Contrition is not so far fetched after all. | 2019-04-26T08:03:19Z | https://www.leestraussbooks.com/the-perception-series-how-soon-before-fiction-becomes-fact/ |
You likely rely on at least one dashboard to get your job done, but how can you tell that it’s the “right” dashboard? Most of us rely on dashboards that were in use when we got the job initially, or otherwise were handed a solution instead of finding one ourselves. Those of us in control of the decision might have picked one based on convenience, because it was the easiest one to find or the first one that seemed intuitive enough to help with your needs.
But if you want to get more out of your dashboard, it’s important to judge your current platform with a critical eye. Are you using the best possible dashboard? And if not, what can you do to find one?
Everything starts with defining your goals. What is it that you’re hoping to get out of this dashboard, and which of these are higher priorities than others?
Productivity and efficiency. Dashboards have the power to save us time and improve our productivity—even though not all dashboards ultimately make good on that promise. The idea is that the simplicity and intuitiveness of a dashboard’s features should save you time that you would otherwise spend on doing those tasks manually.
Data integrity and reliability. You also need to know that your data is safe, and that you have checks and balances to ensure that your data is being entered appropriately. For example, it’s good to get a warning if and when you attempt to make duplicate entries in a CRM dashboard.
Visuals and reporting. Most dashboards attempt to turn big data into digestible insights by converting them into a more visual presentation. In other words, they use charts, graphs, and other visual depictions to help the user form conclusions that wouldn’t be intuitively possible just by glancing over the numbers.
Customizability. Customizability may also be a priority for you. A diversity of available dashboard templates and changeable layouts can help you tweak any dashboard to perfection.
How many platforms did you evaluate before landing on this one? There are likely hundreds, if not thousands of dashboards like this one available on the market. How many of those did you evaluate before finalizing your decision on this one? If this is literally the only option you considered, the possibility that there might be a better one out there is quite high. If this was the best of a dozen or more options, you can rest more comfortably in the integrity of your decision.
How long have you used this platform without considering a change? Technology changes quickly, and there are new innovations in the world of dashboards all the time. If it’s been more than a few years since you’ve even looked at other dashboards, it’s definitely time to reevaluate your relationship with your existing provider, and potentially look at new options.
How much time do you spend working on the platform? This can be a tricky question to answer, but it’s an important one if one of your main priorities is actively saving yourself time. If this dashboard is meant to save you time on menial tasks, but ends up demanding significant time or energy expenditure to maintain your records within the dashboard manually, it may end up doing more harm than good.
Do you ever find yourself wanting for new or different features? It’s sometimes hard to know what you’re missing, and you might be perfectly content with the dashboard you have simply due to a lack of imagination about what else could be out there. Think carefully about what other features you’d like to have access to. What would make your life easier? Could these be found in a different option?
How much control do you have? Finally, how much control do you have over the layout and features of your dashboard? Are you subject to the whims of the developers, or have you spent time cultivating just the right screens and reports for yourself?
Finding a New Solution? If your answer to any of the above questions lead you to believe there’s even a chance that a different dashboard could be giving you a better experience, it’s in your best interest to give those dashboards a try. Most online dashboards offer a free trial of their software, so you can get your hands on it before you buy it. Take advantage of this by experimenting with and evaluating as many platforms that align with your goals as possible before making a transition. | 2019-04-24T12:07:33Z | http://www.tubetorial.com/are-you-using-the-right-dashboard-heres-how-to-tell/ |

Beginning in 1999, popular protagonism – together with a more equal distribution of wealth and greater autonomy vis-a-vis the world's hegemonic powers – was a pillar of the political process. Poor people came on stage as political agents. It was the essence of the Revolution, its vitality!
In 2013, however, several crises came together which explain why the government changed course on many issues, including popular power. On the one hand, Chavez's death spelled the end of the charismatic and strategic leadership that had unified diverse sectors around a popular program. On the other hand, there was a drastic fall in oil prices (lasting from 2014 to 2016), which hindered our capacity to import the intermediate and final goods that the country needs.
A part of the Chavez leadership took control of the state apparatus and the PSUV. It closed ranks and carried out purges, opting for a strategy that implies the progressive elimination of democratic spaces. That group legitimizes its actions by pointing to the economic war and the conspiracy of the right – which are very real – and then its proceeds to limit various forms of expression of the popular will.
In parallel, the bulk of the government's social action focused on CLAPs and on bonuses [direct subsidies]. The Communal Councils fell by the wayside in the popular spaces, because the CLAPs generated a capillary organizational structure based on what is most important for the people: access to food. Unlike the Communal Councils, where the community chooses its speakers and representatives, CLAP spokespeople are designated by the state and the party.
Although participation seems to be waning in Chavismo, there still are wonderful demonstrations of popular power and self-organization – expressions of what Chavez called “territorial socialism.” These range from flagship communes such as El Maizal and El Panal to self-managed initiatives such as the Movimiento de Pobladores or the Productive Workers’ Army. How can we reactivate the latent revolutionary potential of the Chavista project, which is surely part of our collective memory?
Today the Chavista program of popular power no longer can count on the state as an ally, as it was in the past. Recognizing that is the first step. It's up to the Chavista bases themselves to promote that project and do so from below. To build popular power, you do not have to ask anyone’s permission, nor is it a requirement that you have the support of the institutions or their legitimacy. In fact, in a global context, Venezuela was an exception, because popular power is [usually] something that is built outside of the state or in opposition to it.
At this point in time, there is no room for an abstract political discourse based merely on global proposals – aimed at the society or political situation – if they don’t go hand in hand with solving our immediate problems. Political power and credibility turn around resolving concrete problems through self-organization and accompanied by democratic teaching processes. In all of this, it’s important that popular organizations achieve an economic capacity that enhances their autonomy.
The projects that you mention, along with a few others, are deservedly in the limelight, because they are based on real concrete practice – not platforms or short-term results that derive from transitory financing. These projects have broad social support, because they are about people themselves making profound changes in their day-to-day reality.
Nor, in spite of the enormous complexities that it meant for the Venezuelan process, should we be ashamed that the state itself promoted organization (that is, “from above”). That inevitably led to a tendency toward taming and controlling [the popular movement], often through patronage. But we also need to be clear that it was due to this state support – a political decision on the part of the Bolivarian Revolution – that the country’s largest experience of popular organization and participation could take place.
What people have learned in this process of politization – even in that soup of autonomy, rebellion, patronage and docility that has developed these days around the state – is a great thing and a very important one. The same goes for the “political” use of oil (administered by the Venezuelan state) to distribute wealth internally and promote spaces of autonomy in the whole region. As we say in Venezuela: nadie nos quita lo bailao (nobody can take what we’ve learned away from us), although there’s a lot that we need to evaluate critically and learn from our own experience. | 2019-04-24T11:11:51Z | http://links.org.au/venezuela-antonio-gonzalez-plessmann |

I wasn’t even left with a wheel.
I’m having some of those days. Not one. Some. You know? Do you though? I don’t know: it’s been pretty damn annoying and I’m just not sure you appreciate just how annoying.
So hear this. Yesterday I tottered out to the street to grab my bike and cycle to the station, and found that my velo – my lovely funny purple bicycle with red velvet seat – had been stolen. I was now going to miss my train, in addition to being plunged into mourning, so wasted about 20 minutes asking at my local yoga studio if they’d seen it. No. They’d ask, but no. So I walked to the station, angry at the slow boredom of pedestrian travel after the two-wheeled sort, found the next train was not for 45 minutes and the next direct one not for an hour and a half, and began wasting more time, desultorily browsing the uninspiring English-language mags at Relay, and foolishly not buying a sandwich so that later, at my destination, a Polish-border town called Schwedt, I was reduced to bad, bad things to eat. Later that evening, I set out to meet someone, and – viciously tired of walking on terrain I knew so well by bike – I decided to be constructive, not negative, and to rent a Deutsches Bahn City Bike.
Here we go. Are you ready for this?
Had rental gone as planned, I’d have been on time for my next appointment. But it didn’t: after registering thousands of my details twice (one wrong button at the end and I was shunted back to the beginning) and then my card details, I selected a bike. “The bike is unlocked!” said the screen. So I went to get it, but there was no such bike. Machine error. It was obviously a different station or at the bottom of the Spree or being sold off in a drug-squat. So I went back to the machine and chose another one, one I could actually see. “The bike is unlocked!” it chirruped, with me still thinking it had realised it had fucked up, not me, and that I was not going to be charged. I walked to this bike, but it was not unlocked. I went back to the machine, now really running late, and stuck my credit card in again. “! You have no more bikes allowed! ” it read. Suddenly I realised it thought I had taken two bikes, and that – as would become apparent after the 30 minute free period – I had nicked them and would have to pay, probably around €600 apiece.
So I dialled the customer help number written in red on the screen. A very very loud German woman said, in German, something that didn’t sound like: “hello, can I help you? Don’t worry, you haven’t lost all your money on two phantom bikes and a broken machine”. Alas, after trying another 4 times, as well as another number from the website (it was actually the same number), Simon was able to tell me that it was a recorded message saying NOT IN SERVICE. Odd for a system that I happen to know breaks down often, but there you are.
As I was walking to meet him, though, ringing and ringing this number and being told NOT IN SERVICE by the German woman, and becoming ever more stressed at how much money I might lose and how much time I might have to spend in dispute, and why didn’t I note down the false bike numbers, as well as thinking about how I was now running late DESPITE my best efforts…A BIRD SHAT COPIOUSLY ON MY HEAD. I was in the most urban, treeless street in Mitte, but would you believe, the one tree, and the one bird, happened to decide to unload a massive meal on my head at the precise moment I was walking by.
I mean guys, do you really need any more proof that the universe is out to get me?
I think you do. And here it is: TODAY, just one day after the above happened, leaving plenty of time (having no bike) to get somewhere for a 13:30 apt, I set out by foot to a train station. Simple: one line, the S5, to Zoo Station, according to my subway app. Only when I got there, there was no S5. The line doesn’t seem to exist. Still, I bought a ticket (that’s €2.60 thanks), standing on the platform trying to work out where it could be. Then an S1 went by. After walking through a tunnel to the U-bahn and then returning, I realised the S1 was my best option, and went straight to my destination.
There are few maps on platforms in Berlin that show you where trains go. true, different trains pass the same platform. But by the time my slow brain figured out that the S1 was the best bet, there was a four and then a seven minute wait for the next trains – but they didn’t go the right way at all. At last: another S1, OUT OF SERVICE. Time ticked by. I had left lots of time but now…and then, after the out of service train, a seven minute wait for an S2, no S1 in sight.
I had to go and find a taxi, since I had a ten minute walk on the other side, and I predicted- given the past few days- that I”d get lost and go round in circles and that my 3G, which has been loading at the speed of ice melting in Siberia for the past two weeks, would mean my map wouldn’t load at all. I wasted money on a subway ticket, yes. But worst was that I hadn’t been able to zoom in and out and in and out of the subway map, tracing the train to the terminus flashing on the screen to guess its number, in time, and LET THE GODDAMN S1 PASS BY STILL THINKING AN S5 EXISTED.
Then what? Then they’ll feel really terrible for me, of course. And immediately see the way the universe is uniquely predisposed against ME. ZOE STRIMPEL. But as I said the stories to myself that I wanted to unload on others, I could already see their bored expressions. But come on! Couldn’t the sheer annoyingness of all this make for a really good narrative? I mean, there must be novels out there where this kind of thing forms the substance of the plot; the ups and downs of the character, the nucleus for something profound.
But then I couldn’t picture it. I have never read a book like that.
And then I realised: nobody cares, or will care. The levels of irritation and stress caused by these banalities, hitting me as they did at a particularly doubtful juncture in life, are not conveyable through the events that created them. To make a good story there needs to be more; to make an individual feel furious, there’s plenty. | 2019-04-22T00:52:04Z | http://zoestrimpel.com/arch-irritation-the-inexpressible/ |

Me too! The LQS in Chapel Hill is the same way! I shop at Joanns or Hancocks. But i am planning my very first trip to Mary Jo's next month. Such a shame.
What a bummer!!! I am with you though...I never leave my money in a quilt shop, restaurant or business unless it has good juju! We are blessed here with many wonderful shops and shop owners but I also have had great experiences online.
Good Customer Service is a must if your business is to survive.....I know how it feels to be "invisible" in those "high end" quilt shops but I have also gone into some where I have been treated like royalty.....what a difference!
It's too bad they don't have Yelp in your area. Before my husband and I go to a new restaurant, we read the Yelp reviews. If the owners of this LQS knew they were a "turn-off" maybe they'd change their tune. I'm sure their business needs more than just their "favorites" to be financially successful. I know there are businesses like that as I have visited a few and it puzzles me how they stay in business. I have been on 2 shop hops within the last year and encountered only two "bad apples" which isn't a bad ratio, and fortunately our feedback on the Shop Hop will hopefully improve their customer service. It is so much easier to be nice. I helped out a friend who owned a quilt shop when she anticipated crowds even though she was always very gracious and welcoming, it's important to have enough staff for Shop Hops. | 2019-04-24T20:57:27Z | http://eileenmcgee.blogspot.com/2013/01/count-your-blessings.html |

The credit sequence consists of a close-up of a piece of paper, upon which a figure is gradually painted. As the credits finish, the image of the painted figure slowly dissolves into an aerial view of the desert landscape. The two-dimensional brown painted figure changes to a grey colour, and then begins to interact with the undulating sandscape. When the figure finally disappears, the shadow of a biplane takes its place. The camera moves back to reveal the biplane flying over the sandscape. It has two passengers, whom we later find out are Almâsy and Katharine.
The soundtrack of the film's opening is equally complex. Before the credits even begin, we hear a percussive sound, which we can later locate in the film as the clatter of small vials of medicinal oils. In addition, we hear male voices chanting, a Hungarian folk song, non-diegetic orchestral music, and the diegetic sound of an aeroplane engine. These opening shots and sounds contain a wealth of associations, which we shall attempt to unravel.
We could argue that the rest of The English Patient simply elaborates and extends the elements of the mise-en-scène condensed in the credit sequence and opening shot. The painted figure is the same as the figures Katharine paints in the Cave of Swimmers. We can therefore suggest that this image derives from the scene in the Cave of Swimmers, and that Katharine is painting the figure. The Cave of Swimmers is important to Katharine because it is her tomb, the place where she dies at the end of the film.
The sand dunes and the painted figure momentarily superimposed over them are similar in shape. The similarity in shape creates the metaphor that the sands take on a human form. Heightened significance or implicit symbolism is therefore created through the superimposition (through cinematic elaboration, in Perkins's terms). This metaphor is relevant to Almâsy's first flashback scene. In the foreground of the shot, we see him sitting talking to a desert tribesman about how to locate the Cave of Swimmers. Almâsy is seen drawing the cave, and translates the tribesman's words - 'It is shaped like a woman's back'. But just before the tribesman gives this metaphorical description of the cave, a biplane lands in the background. The tribesman pauses, sees the plane, and then offers his description, which Almâsy then translates. A few shots later, we realize that Katharine and her husband are in the plane. The associations established in the film's opening, between Katharine and the Cave of Swimmers, is therefore strengthened at this moment in the film.
Furthermore, we can use the foreground-background heuristic to identify the significance of the play between foreground and background. The superimposition in the film's opening links the figure being painted by Katharine to the desert (more specifically, to the Cave of Swimmers, which can be identified because it resembles a woman's back) to the shadow of the biplane carrying Almâsy and Katharine. By the end of the film we realize that this image shows Almâsy flying away from the Cave of Swimmers after retrieving Katharine's body. Moments later the plane is shot down and Almâsy is badly burnt. Katharine is further linked to the painted figure and the Cave of Swimmers when Geoffrey describes her as being like a fish in that she loves water and can swim for hours.
The painted figure is significant in a further respect: Katharine's paintings mark the initiation of Almâsy and Katharine's love affair. When the two of them are stranded in the desert, Katharine offers Almâsy several of her paintings, to put in his copy of Herodotus' History, which serves as a scrapbook of his life. At first Almâsy politely refuses them. But by the next morning, he changes his mind and says he will be honoured to put them in his book.
The sounds in the credit sequence are equally significant, although not so straightforward to explain. The sound of the bottles of medicinal oils is located in the film at the moment when a tribesman attends to Almâsy's burns. He uses some of the oil to cover Almâsy's face. The Hungarian folk song is located in the moment when Katharine stays the night with Almâsy in his hotel room. In the morning he plays on a gramophone the folk song which, he says, was sung to him when he was a young boy. | 2019-04-21T03:16:38Z | https://www.jukolart.us/american-film-2/the-credit-sequence.html |

There are so many variations in the brown shades that it can come in, so in that sense, you can be quite flexible when choosing. Over time, these brown hues slowly change into more amber-type tones, which is really beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

At the end of the day, as long as you've done your research in advanced and are confident that you have picked out the right pieces for your dining room area, chances are you will not regret the decisions you have made. Obviously, you will need to adjust some of your pieces over time as you start experimenting with different styling techniques, but that's all in good fun - you learn as you go along, and you will eventually be an expert in knowing what does and does not look good in your dining room area.
Brooke Mcguire Dining Room, 2018-09-19 05:58:24. However, remember that when you do experiment with colors, make sure that you don't include the whole color spectrum in your choices! Be consistent. Choose one or two main colors that you would like to focus on, and stick to that. Over time, if you feel like changing your color theme, by all means do so - just don't use all of them at once, otherwise, your dining room area will look like a child had just gone crazy with home shopping after being given permission to redecorate your dining room area.

Modern dining room furniture includes some of the most uniquely designed chairs you could possibly wish for. The back height of modern chairs varies so that you can find a style that looks best around your table. You can select chairs with or without arms depending on your personal preference. Leather is a popular upholstery material for modern furniture. While many modern designed rooms limit the main color scheme to two colors, which are usually black and white, the chairs are a great way to add a more brilliant third color to the room.
Jamie Dean Dining Room, 2018-09-19 21:39:09. One thing you want to avoid is buying dining room furniture that doesn't call to your family and friends to "come, sit and enjoy". In many homes where the dining table lacks that attraction, a dining room quickly becomes more of a formal work station where objects are left, the table becomes cluttered and the only thing not happening in the room is the dining. Even formal dining furniture can attract dinner guests without making them feel uneasy or nervous about their manners. It's all about the furniture you pick to fill the room.
Louisa Rocha Dining Room, 2018-09-19 18:46:45. Many homes today skip the dining room all together, but the classic appeal of formal dining is returning and the need to shop for dining room furniture is growing. What is most important when you are going to furniture stores to buy dining area furniture is to match the existing look and feel of your home with what you want your furniture to accomplish. Whether you are looking to build a formal dining room or a more casual dining nook, for a quality dining experience, you need to seek out quality workmanship that flows well with your homes other rooms.
Malaya Roberts Dining Room, 2018-09-19 17:12:35. Of course, the number one rule of thumb is that your furniture should be of great quality - and this actually holds true for any product that you buy. Make sure that the furniture you get is genuine hardwood, and comes from a reputable brand.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or as they are better known, Drones, have become part of the common world in the last couple of years like the Internet did in the 1990's. Technology continues to advance exponentially and the uses for Drones both for personal and business continues to expand both in types of uses as well as just the overall number of Drones in the air. This growth has caught the FAA by surprise so they have implemented a number of requirements to protect the safety of the commercial airspace, the primary requirement being the testing and licensing of commercial drone pilots starting in August of 2016. This requirement is unique in that it doesn't require the individual flying the Drone for commercial purposes to be licensed it just requires that an individual who is licensed is present during the time the Drone is in the air and that that individual is only over seeing one airborne Drone at a time.
We are Drone enthusiasts, UAS(Unmanned Aerial Systems) if you want to be technical and we are very good at technical, who build and service all kinds of Drones and their related hardware to software systems. | 2019-04-21T16:35:07Z | https://www.kywego.com/ |
A mysterious envelope leads Sam Kimura (Takei) back 60 years to a time when he (played as a young man by Telly Leung — Godspell, “Glee”) and his sister Kei (Tony Award-winner Lea Salonga — Miss Saigon, Mulan) strive to save their family from the wrongful imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Sam enlists in the army to prove the Kimuras’ loyalty, but Kei joins draft resisters fighting for the rights of their people.
Their paths take them from the lush farmlands of California to the wastelands of Wyoming to the battlefields of Europe, and their divided loyalties threaten to tear them apart forever. But as long-lost memories are unlocked, Sam finds that it is never too late to forgive and to recognize the redemptive power of love. | 2019-04-20T04:44:42Z | http://www.davenporttheatrical.com/portfolio/allegiance/ |
The Western Cape MEC for Social Development, Adv. Albert Fritz, yesterday addressed more than 650 guests at the second annual Department of Social Development (DSD) Youth Excellence Awards.
The awards were held at the Cape Town City Hall, and are held in line with the Western Cape Government’s Provincial Youth Development Strategy, which enjoins us to celebrate and recognize the achievement of young people across the province.
Starters of the organization, ‘Dream Factory’, which ….
12 year old boy with visual impairment from Athlone School for the Blind, who is the winner of international literary essay competition, and recognized youth writer. He has also been honoured further by a Japanese writing society.
Change makers, and innovating in girl-child empowerment methods.
The evening had a festive tone and the guests representing over 50 organizations from civil society, the public sector, and the private sector, enjoyed an evening of performances from young people in the dramatic arts, cultural groups and musicians.
In his address, MEC Fritz emphasised the need for a whole-of-society approach to youth development. “The whole-of-society approach is about government, the private sector, civil society and communities partnering to empower and create opportunities for young people,” said Minister Fritz.
The Western Cape Government this financial year will spend in excess of R54.8-million on youth development, which represents just over 17% of the overall provincial budget of R5.4-billion. DSD alone spends R12.7-million on youth development projects, which funds six Youth Cafes and 28 NGOs working with youth.
MEC Fritz concluded the evening my saying, “our efforts in government to develop and empower young people cannot succeed in isolation. I am making the call to you, the people of this wonderful province to take up the clarion call, and work with our young people. Let us create new opportunities and industries. Let us create the enabling environment and a society for our young people that is based on freedom, fairness and opportunity. We can empower all young people if we continue to work, ‘Better Together”. | 2019-04-25T19:52:15Z | https://www.gov.za/speeches/second-annual-dsd-youth-excellence-awards-addressed-mec-fritz-21-jun-2016-0000 |
Artist and graphic designer Bill Sienkiewicz hosted a spotlight panel Saturday morning at WonderCon. Best known for runs on "Elektra: Assassin" and a host of other big-line and independent titles including his creator-owned Epic series "Stray Toasters," Sienkiewicz is an industry veteran with nearly 30 years of experience in comics and film. Indeed, the artist had plenty of fodder for his one-hour panel and so much respect from the audience that he received a round of applause before even sitting down.
"I did learn the alphabet really quickly," said Sienkiewicz when discussing his youth and Polish-American roots. A descendant of Polish migrants who came to the United States in 1912, bringing with them strict Catholicism and a taste for liquor, Sienkiewicz grew up near Scranton, Pennsylvania. He described his neighbors as coming right out of "central casting." Racial and ethnic tension abounded, yet the "melting pot" came together over sparse similarities. "The one thing we shared were potatoes. Except the Irish ate theirs and we drank ours," he said.
By the time he was seven years old, his youthful experiences led Sienkiewicz to drawing. "I knew in kindergarten that I could draw," he said. Indeed, it was strange to him that others could not. Comics quickly became his creative outlet. "I took out a lot of my aggression by creating worlds that I could draw," he said. His father, a hard-drinking man, did not approve of the young Sienkiewicz's decision, though that didn't dissuade the budding artist from his work. "I was already going to hell anyway," said Sienkiewicz. So, he pushed on. "Anything that saves your life, I think you end up respecting."
Sienkiewicz grew up not far from the Jersey Shore, where he knew people that made "The Sopranos" look mild. His younger years gave him a strong sense of "the fucked up." At just four-years old, he watched his father mistakenly shoot his younger sister by ricocheting a round off a brick wall and back into the house. "My father did pull the trigger and my sister screamed," he said. "This is the kind of stuff that people go 'Now, how did you get into comics?'"
Breaking into comics at a relatively young age, the artist was influenced by Neal Adams at first, though he later looked toward other sources for inspiration. As he came into his own as an artist, Sienkiewicz borrowed creative elements from disparate sources, Hunter S. Thompson, Norman Rockwell and Gustav Klimt, among others, powerful creators he found with little outside help. When describing the bubble in which he and his family lived in while growing up, the said, "[My neighbors] knew John Deere made tractors and they probably thought that Norman Rockwell was a competitor."
As he developed his style, Sienkiewicz flew under the collective radar of comics fandom and professionals for a time. "It wasn't until the works got some notoriety that the higher echelon came in and said, 'You can't do that,'" he recalled, stating his belief that art should be polarizing. Apathy, he continued, is always the enemy. "Polarity is better than ennui."
Coming of creative age in the same generation that saw Frank Miller and Alan Moore rise to prominence, Sienkiewicz was able call some of his shots, artistically. He passed on "X-Men," but had a number of noteworthy runs including work on "The New Mutants." This was an era of unbridled creativity. His, Miller's and Moore's collective brilliance came under few auspices. "You don't sit down to be innovative," he said. "Bob Dylan did not call himself the voice of a generation. Everyone thought that comics were gonna be the adult medium," Sienkiewicz said. But, it turned out that adults had to spend their money on mortgages and not comics.
Sienkiewicz has recevied attention from Hollywood, both as a comics creator and as a graphics designer. Penning inspirations for film plots as well as posters and campaign materials for blockbuster movies, he insists the recent fad of turning graphic novels into movies can be dangerous if the quality of the graphic novel is not the first consideration. "Everyone's trying to have a movie deal now," he said. "It's all blue sky."
By the end of the panel, Sienkiewicz had unspooled his life story a little like the string on a kite. He went on more than a few tangents, but went straight upwards. At one point, he mentioned the possibility of doing an autobiographical comic, and the crowd cheered. A fan of Harvey Pekar, Sienkiewicz said a self-reflective graphic novel could be done well as long as it would adhere to his lifelong "responsibility to do the unexpected." | 2019-04-25T14:35:39Z | https://www.cbr.com/wc11-bill-sienkiewicz-spotlight/ |
Stephen Petty is going to deliver a two-part presentation. He’ll begin with a brief presentation on the Society of Medalists and seque into a Q &A with several of our members.
In the second part of his presentation he’ll interview a few of our members about their lives and collecting interests. You all will have to guess who may get interviewed! As you may recall he did something like this at several meetings a few years ago and it was interesting to learn interesting facts regarding our club members.
Despite terrible weather, 32 members ventured out in February to hear Rachael W. presentation on apothecary weights and Gerry Tebben’s presentation on collecting manhole covers.
We’ve all encountered apothecary weights, with their cryptic markings, and wondered what they are. Rachael had the answer.
They were used by druggists compounding medicines. The weight went on one side of a balance beam scale and a powder or such went on the other. Some weights look like coins, others are flat sheets of brass.Two, she said, actually doubled as Civil War tokens.Scale and weight maker John P. Gruber issued an 1863 token that showed a scale on one side and an eagle on the reverse with the legend APOTH. WEIGHT/ ONE DRAM/1863.
The ONE DRAM reverse was also mated with an obverse advertising Warmkessel’s beer hall.
A dram was equal to 3 scruples.
Pharmacists lost their scruples in the 1960s when metric weights replaced apothecary troy weights.
Do not forget about April. More and more dealers and collectors are going to join together for national coin week and put old collectible coins and currency into circulation hoping to get more people into our great hobby. How about joining the fun? I have lots of wheats to put out there in those penny bowls at cash registers and plan on spending some Ike dollars and a few other choice collectible coins. Join the fun, put out some older coins, tip your waitress or waiter with something special, who knows it could bring new members into our club. Make sure you have fun doing it I know I am.
Till next month — Bob ANA Ohio District Rep.

In opening their restaurant State Bird Provisions in early 2012, husband and wife Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski drew on one of Brioza’s signature dishes from their Rubicon days, a fried quail. The quail is the California state bird, and if you haven’t had his version, well, you’re missing out.

Last week I traveled to Vancouver, B.C. with my colleagues, Councilmembers Larry Gossett and Kathy Lambert, to visit two safe consumption sites, a community resource center, a treatment facility and a day center providing care in various forms to people experiencing homelessness and substance use disorder. All of these visits were located within eight blocks of one another in the East Hastings area of the Downtown Eastside. We had a full day at these locations speaking with people in recovery, outreach workers, law enforcement, health care providers and more. Seattle and Vancouver are both beautiful cities, but are each struggling with the effects of income inequality, increasing costs of housing and rates of homelessness, as well as illicit drug use and overdose fatalities and risks to public health and safety. I went on this tour with an open mind, knowing Vancouver is a much different city than Seattle, but aware of the opportunity we would have to learn from its efforts.
I learned that Vancouver, like Seattle, lays claim to coining the term “skid row.” The Downtown Eastside neighborhood, where logs once skidded down the street, hosts most of the city’s single room occupancy (SRO) buildings today. After the local logging industry took a downturn, these SROs became a hub for the disenfranchised and marginalized. I don’t believe there is any area in King County that precisely resembles this area, although parts of Pioneer Square, Downtown, and Capitol Hill have similar characteristics. I was surprised by how clean and affluent it is only three blocks away from this area that includes Insite, the safe consumption site that opened in 2003 that has been an issue of controversy here in Seattle. The Downtown Eastside has been a highly concentrated area for homelessness and addiction for decades. In fact, a clinic director with whom we spoke called it “the worst six blocks in North America.” Thankfully, there are many organizations working to solve these problems and assist people in need.
We began our tour early in the morning at the Powell St Getaway, which is operated by The Lookout Society, and has been a drop-in “living room” center for people who have experienced homelessness over the past 20 years. The Lookout Society is a non-profit charitable organization established in 1971 with the mission of solving homelessness, and offers a range of services 24 hours a day at 33 locations across British Columbia.
The Getaway provides clients a place to shower and do laundry, receive snacks throughout the day, and be able to get off the streets and relax as well as get referrals to housing and health care programs. We spoke with its medical director and other staff. This past July, Health Canada authorized the Getaway to add a safe consumption space with five booths as part of its services.
The Getaway serves 200 to 300 people daily, and reported having prevented 32 overdose deaths in its safe consumption site since its opening last July. It’s also important to note that the retention rate for people seeking addiction treatment through the Getaway has been above average since this program began.
Our second stop was the Lookout Society’s Hazleton Residences, a 24/7 shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and services provider, all in one building. It was a busy place, and we couldn’t take photographs, but were able to observe the first floor common and emergency shelter space, and learned that it frequently has to turn people away due to insufficient capacity to meet higher levels of need.
Our third stop was at Downtown Eastside Connections Clinic. The clinic is staffed by social workers, a pharmacy, and a family doctor to help provide casework support, addiction treatment, and many other health needs for the local population.
There we spoke with staff, including the manager and medical director, and Guy Fellicella, who related his firsthand experience of what it’s like to be a long-term drug user in the area. Read more about him in the Seattle PI and the Today Show. He lived on the streets, using drugs in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for over twenty years. Without Insite’s supervised consumption services, Guy believes he would not be here today. He credits Insite for saving his life six times over a ten-year period by its staff bringing him back from near-fatal overdoses and by engaging him to eventually seek treatment.
Today, he is deeply thankful for the opportunity to have continued living and to have been supported on his journey to recovery. In his case, the services he received at Insite were able to help keep him alive and become a contributing member of society. Guy is now a community health liaison at Vancouver Coastal Health, and has a wife and two small children. Guy was incredibly inspiring, and will be presenting at a TED conference in May next year on his life and the power of harm reduction principles.
After that, we walked several blocks towards Insite and through the heart of East Hastings and the Downtown Eastside.
Along the way we met a member of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association’s “Clean Team.” He walks the neighborhood, responding to business owners’ concerns and cleaning the streets and sidewalks of used needles. In 2015, the number of used sharps recovered from outdoor spaces in Vancouver was 250,732, according to Vancouver Coastal Health. These cleanup efforts, along with safe consumption sites, work to solve this public safety and health hazard.
He also carries Naloxone, which can be administered to reverse an overdose, which thankfully he has only had to use once so far.
In front of Insite, we struck up a conversation with a group of three police officers who were walking by. They shared their perspective on how important it is that safe consumption sites be sanctioned and go through Canada Health’s rigorous application process. Some unsanctioned “pop up” overdose prevention sites have opened in the neighborhood, and the officers were concerned about their effectiveness. Hearing about these unsanctioned sites indicated to me how much more unmet demand there is for this service. One of the officers also emphasized the importance of being able to follow through with treatment, housing, and other wrap around services to get people off the street permanently. There are seven beat cops on each shift (two shifts per day) in the four-square blocks considered to be the high drug use area.
Unfortunately, Insite wasn’t available for an official tour, although we had been trying to schedule one for quite some time. However, I was able to step inside and look over the facility for a few minutes. It was very active. During the half hour or so we stood outside speaking with the police we saw dozens of people enter and exit the facility, all who would not be leaving dirty needles/syringes in public places. But sadly, we observed two young women sitting in front on the sidewalk who were shooting up. The police officers said that’s not uncommon and that Insite staff will come outside to administer Naloxone if someone goes into an overdose. I was struck by the irony of their being right at the doorstep, but not going inside. Perhaps a first step, though, to actually go inside and get help at another time. The key, as we learned, is to get people to trust and become engaged in a path to treatment and recovery.
The City of Vancouver has a “Four Pillars” drug strategy: harm reduction, prevention, treatment, and enforcement. Safe consumption sites are meant only for areas with high levels of public drug use and for people who don’t have a support network to keep them safe. Such sites are NOT located in affluent and suburban areas of the city and environs. They are located where they’re needed. Safe consumption sites alone will not stem the crisis of the opioid epidemic but they have proven their ability to keep people alive so the other pillars of this strategy can reach more people in need.
The heroin epidemic has been growing for years across North America, and it can be discouraging to see this problem continue despite all of the good work we saw. In particular, there’s been a marked increase in overdose deaths as a result of drugs now being laced with Fentanyl, which have been coming into Vancouver from Asia and are much more potent. We also learned of a new portable kit that can test drugs brought into safe consumption sites so users can be informed, but it is very costly to purchase. This is of enormous concern in B.C., and has not yet hit Seattle and King County. Over and over again, we heard about the escalating rise in overdose fatalities, but that the number would be much higher without the availability of safe consumption sites.
To me, this experience reinforces how vital it is to take a comprehensive approach. Canada is expanding the opening of safe consumption sites across British Columbia as well as in Ottawa and Toronto because the peer-reviewed research, along with the firsthand experience, has proven the sites save lives, reduce crime and threats to public health and safety, and support people on their journey to recovery. Public Health – Seattle and King County plans on developing its own model, not using that of Insite, in taking a comprehensive, multi-services approach in order to get people into treatment and eventually work toward full recovery.
On Monday, I joined Executive Constantine in announcing new efforts to provide treatment on-demand throughout King County for more than 20,000 people, including expansion of Evergreen Treatment Services’ mobile opiate treatment program.
As we wait for the legal dispute over I-27 to be resolved, we will continue to work on expanding our efforts in other ways but the longer we wait to implement safe consumption sites, the more lives will be lost. | 2019-04-24T04:05:08Z | https://kccjeanneblog.com/2017/11/22/how-vancouver-b-c-is-responding-to-the-heroin-epidemic-and-homelessness-in-the-downtown-eastside/?shared=email&msg=fail |

If you’re looking for allergy free waffles, give this vegan waffle recipe a try!
I’m a big fan of waffles. When given the choice between pancakes or waffles: waffles wins every single time.
I love how maple syrup can fill every square with waffles, I always overdo it with the maple syrup.
Randa’s Tip: This batter has a thick consistency, so if you use a vertical waffle iron (like me) it works better if you open it and scoop it on like a traditional iron.
I’m not a vegan (you shouldn’t be surprised, I have a lot of chicken recipes on here) but that doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the lifestyle. I do what I can to eat at least one meatless meal a week, but that’s as far as it goes. I usually add eggs to my baking (and waffles) unless I’m in a pinch but I like to experiment, and chia seed eggs are fun to make (I love watching it gel).
I had the waffle iron set to the darkest setting (it was setting 5 if that helps anyone), I like my waffles crisp and dark but these vegan waffles were a little different. Still tasty, but not crisp – they were soft and had a similar texture to banana bread. I’ll repeat this again down below so I don’t get yelled at in the comments for those of you wanting crispy waffles (haha).
If you’re gluten-free, you can easily replace the all-purpose flour with this gluten free all purpose flour blend.
Heads Up: These allergy free waffles have a banana bread consistency instead of the crispy waffle texture that I love, but omg – they’re yummy!
These gluten free waffles are also vegan (dairy free) and so easy to make! They're great for breakfast, for brunch, for picky eats, and for kids.
Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl, whisk it together.
Add the rest of the ingredients into a blender, blend until smooth.
Pour 1/2 cup into the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes or until you reach your desired doneness.
Now for the all-important question: maple syrup or whipped cream on your waffles? | 2019-04-25T20:32:06Z | https://www.thebewitchinkitchen.com/allergy-free-waffles/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest&utm_campaign=tailwind_tribes&utm_content=tribes&utm_term=333046004_10166002_100053 |

I've sent a claim release to the gracious people of Magnatune, which is my record label. They are usually fast.
: I recently recorded myself playing Dead Pixels for 36 minutes in anticipation of the upcoming DP2 release and uploaded it for scheduled release in a week or two for my friend to enjoy and maybe get him to buy the game as well. I am not much of an entertainer, so the video is without voice over or fancy editing. I also don't monetise my videos, and even if I would, the revenue from it would be not worth mentioning (as in I'd be surprised if it sum up to a single cent).
: Now, Youtube tells me that The Orchard Music claimed a portion of the audio "On behalf of: Magnatune".
: Checking whether this is a valid claim led me to your site here.
: I have no problem with the actual rights owner to profit from my upload, but after skimming through your forum, I am under the impression that this claim was issued on behalf of an overstepping third party and that you might not condone of it.
: I could just mute the bit, but I'd rather keep the game's presentation as it was intended to be, for my friend to and anyone else who stumbles over the video to enjoy, when it gets released on schedule later, especially since I honestly enjoy your work.
: Thank you very much for your time, F. | 2019-04-20T10:51:04Z | https://www.danielbautista.com/forum.php?accion=ver&ruta=./messages/1510063812/1510065075&initial=0 |
LONDON, May 10 (Reuters) Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey has opted for Shakespeare comedies and other likely hits in an attempt to reverse his critical fortunes at London's Old Vic theatre.
Critics have turned on Spacey for what they see as a poor record at the helm of the famous London venue, and one questioned whether he should resign after Robert Altman's production of Arthur Miller's ''Resurrection Blues'' was panned.
News that the Old Vic would remain empty for five months in 2006 further increased pressure on the 46-year-old American.
But he reiterated yesterday that he had no intention of backing down. Spacey has committed to 10 years in the job, which he started in September 2004.
''I'm in it for the long haul,'' he said at the announcement of the lineup for next season.
''In the Old Vic tradition of celebrating great acting, big plays and a sense of event we're proud of the line-up we've assembled for our third season and beyond,'' Spacey added.
Next season begins with Eugene O'Neill's ''A Moon for the Misbegotten'', in which Spacey himself will perform.
Early next year the Old Vic will stage two Shakespeare comedies, ''The Taming of the Shrew'' and ''Twelfth Night'', both performed by Propeller, an all-male company.
Then comes a production of ''The Entertainer'' to mark the 50th anniversary of John Osborne's play, with British actor Robert Lindsay as the struggling comedian Archie Rice.
In a bid to repeat the success of the hugely popular pantomime production ''Aladdin'', comedian Stephen Fry has agreed to write a new version of ''Cinderella'' for Christmas 2007.
While the Oscar-winning star of ''American Beauty'' has had a rough ride since joining the Old Vic, Spacey's supporters point out that twice as many people came to the theatre during his first year in charge than came during the two preceding years. | 2019-04-23T16:46:52Z | https://www.oneindia.com/2006/05/10/adds-quotes-details-1147235717.html |

Welcome to another installment of If My Book, the Monkeybicycle feature in which authors shed light on their recently released books by comparing them to weird things. This week J. Ryan Stradal writes about his debut novel, Kitchens of the Great Midwest, just published by Viking.
If Kitchens of the Great Midwest were an extinct reptile, it would be a champsosaur, a gavial-like aquatic predator of the order Choristodera. The reason why is a slightly sad story, like how missing the bus in winter is sad.
As a boy growing up in Minnesota, I loved dinosaurs, like a lot of kids everywhere. I spent most of second grade creating an elaborate map of dinosaur discoveries in North America and held lectures, one for my elementary school class, one for the entire elementary school, and one at the senior high school. I tried my best to be amusing and informative, and people seemed to admire how I had cut and pasted dinosaurs over the exact locations where their remains were discovered. I took pride in being able to explain them all.
Still, there was one aspect to this presentation that bothered me. I had put a dinosaur, a hadrosaur, over a section of my home state. It was, to paraphrase Jeff Tweedy, a case of my lies being wishes. At that point in time, no dinosaurs of any kind had yet been discovered in what is now Minnesota. Most of the upper Midwest was under a big lake for much of the Mesozoic Era, and the displays at Minneapolis’ Science Museum reflected the region’s paucity of terrible lizards; what we had instead, in great number, were aquatic creatures—including lots of champsosaurs.
It was brutal to reconcile my dreams of being a paleontologist with a homeland that completely lacked the specific object of my adoration. Despite their reptilian status and promising Greek suffix, champsosaurs were not and are not considered dinosaurs, which totally sucked for them and for me. However, instead of continuing to gerrymander the Judith River Formation, I chose to stop using my safety scissors and glue sticks to change the past, and love these non-dinosaur gavial-like things that my home state stuck me with. Once I did, I found that there was actually much to love.
Like rhubarb pie, choristoderes kept showing up again and again, whether you wanted them or not; they went extinct and re-evolved several times, from the Triassic into the Cenozoic, with the champsosaur iteration being among the last and hardiest. Is this more beautiful than the saber-toothed cat evolving and going extinct and then re-evolving five more times? Yes, because champsosaurs were one of the unfathomably small minority of living beings to survive the K-Pg extinction event, which you go ahead and try to do, saber-teeth or no.
Although choristoderes did not figure as significantly in my book as they do in Minnesota’s fossil record, Kitchens of the Great Midwest is, above all things, a sincere love letter to my home region, a celebration of its inherent qualities and commodities, and an embrace of everything I experienced growing up that I hadn’t really seen dramatized in fiction. It’s about a young woman who doesn’t have to go far from home or change much about herself to be an incredible success, and it’s populated with characters who are like champsosaurs in their ability to evolve, thrive, and subtly impress. Let other states have the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the velociraptors; my home state, and my novel, are about unlikely survivors.
J. Ryan Stradal is the author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest (Viking, 2015), and lives in Los Angeles, where he is the Acquisitions Editor at Unnamed Press, Fiction Editor at The Nervous Breakdown, Advisory Board member at 826LA, and co-producer & host of the literary/culinary series Hot Dish. | 2019-04-21T06:08:07Z | http://monkeybicycle.net/if-my-book-j-ryan-stradal/ |
A journey made in search of something or a long and difficult effort to do something are common definitions for a quest and that’s what this book is about. When I was asked to review this book I was intrigued because I couldn’t see how anybody could make an interesting story about a bunch of personal development experts. Boy was I wrong!
I enjoyed reading this book because there was humor, a bit of mystery, and it was all framed up with a bit of interesting personal development psychology. I can tell the book was written by someone who is a personal development expert because he goes through various concepts with the introduction of each new client at Quest, Inc. I learned some things and found the book uplifting. I also appreciated the mystery that runs through the story(will keep you reading) and that continues right to the end, which leaves us on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read what happens in book two. Although you know I’m not a fan of trilogies and series.
I rate this book three and a half stars. I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in reading a book with a twist and that’s out of the ordinary. Although I wouldn’t recommend it for those of you who don’t accept the philosophy of personal development coaches or life coaches. You may find it too preachy. It’s well worth the read though for its originality. So, check it out!!! Happy reading…..
Justin Cohen is the author of four books and seven audiobooks. He produced and hosted a television talk show in which he interviewed some of the world’s top experts on success. As a leading authority on personal development, with an honors degree in Psychology, Justin speaks, trains and writes in the fields of motivation, sales, service and leadership. Having spoken professionally for nearly fourteen years, Justin has presented in twelve different countries, and in virtually every industry, to an average of ten thousand people annually.
Sounds quite interesting, you’re going to make me run up my book bill!
I really appreciate your thorough review Didi.You’ve certainly captured what I’ve tried to achieve.
You’re welcome! I hope it encourages others to pick it up. It really is interesting! | 2019-04-22T00:18:42Z | https://browngirlreading.com/2012/08/30/31-quest-inc/?replytocom=395 |

3 What Do You Know About Adult Type 2 Diabetes?
3.1 What Is Adult Type 2 Diabetes?
3.2 What Exactly Is Insulin Resistance?
3.3 What Are The Common Symptoms Of This Disease?
Adult onset diabetes is also referred to as Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, which usually occurs in children, requires insulin injections to control. Type 2 usually can be controlled with diet, exercise, and weight loss. Oral medications may also be prescribed if other methods fail.
Adult onset diabetes was so named because, historically, it occurred in those approaching middle age. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in cases among teens and young adults, and there have been instances involving children. Type 2 diabetes is considered a preventable condition in most cases, with the main causes listed as obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
Diabetes can be completely asymptomatic, meaning that many patients have no idea that their blood sugar is high. Others do not recognize the symptoms, which are usually not severe enough to disrupt their lives. Such warning signs include excess thirst, unexplained weight loss despite increased hunger, and frequent urination, particularly waking up at night to go. They may also experience numbness in their feet or hands, blurred vision, or dizziness.
Both types of diabetes can cause severe complications. There is an increased risk for circulatory problems, such as heart attack, stroke, and nerve damage in the feet and legs. The risk for renal disease is also increased, and some studies indicate that it may also increase the risk for certain types of dementia.
Diabetes occurs when the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot process the insulin produced. Insulin is used to move sugar through the bloodstream and direct it to cells for storage. Sugar that cannot be transferred to the cells and therefore must remain in the bloodstream can damage several of the internal organs. Fat cells are more resistant to insulin, which is why weight loss is often beneficial to diabetics.
A proper diet is also an effective way to treat adult onset diabetes. Meals should be eaten around the same time of day and consist of roughly the same proportion of protein to starches. Spinach, beans, barley, tomatoes, fat free dairy products, oatmeal, and citrus fruits are all recommended foods for a diabetic diet. Sugars should be reserved for a special treat and eaten after a meal during which limited carbohydrates have been consumed.
Diabetes is not a condition one should take lightly. It is a disease that can be quite serious in a lot of people who have it, and if gone untreated can be life threatening. So, it is vitally important to notice the signs and symptoms of adult diabetes as soon as possible. If you are unsure what diabetes is exactly then you should listen up.
Diabetes is a disease where high levels of sugar exist in your blood. It can be caused either by a lack of insulin in the body or the inability to use it. Insulin is a hormone in the body produced by ones pancreas which is responsible for regulating ones sugar levels.
There are three types of Diabetes. Namely type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes, with type 1 diabetes being the most serious of the three.
It is very hard to know the symptoms of type 1 diabetes due to which many people do not get them examined. When body stops making insulin or has less insulin then this type of diabetes attacks. Urge the people to take the injection of insulin regularly to remain alive. This is why it is so important to recognize the symptoms of adult diabetes as soon as possible. This will help you to resolve all medical conditions associated with untreated diabetes.
One of the main symptoms of adult diabetes is frequent urination. This is followed by constant thirst which is a result of the frequent urination. This is because the body is trying to prevent you from becoming dehydrated.
Another common symptom of adult diabetes would be blurred vision. So, if you experience blurred vision it is important to take it seriously as it could be a result of long periods of elevated blood sugar levels. Do not fall into the trap of passing this symptom of adult diabetes off by blaming it on aging or thinking that you are probably just overtired. Have you examined yourself by a doctor in such a case?
Other symptoms of adult diabetes would be increased appetite, fatigue, impotence if you are a man and infections that take a very long time to heal. Do not be discouraged though because if caught early the body will react well to treatment whether it is having a lifestyle change by changing ones diet and adding exercise, or by taking medication. So the sooner you are diagnosed the better.
Our human physique is designed in such a method that it sends warning alerts before any disease crops up. The same happens with diabetes. Warning indicators diabetes provides are fully attributable to elevated blood glucose levels.
Polydypsia – An individual with signs of grownup diabetes suffers with excessive thirst and consumes extreme quantities of water. The reason being blood will get concentrated because of the presence of glucose. This instantly sends alerts to the brain on account of which cells release their inner water content into the blood. Consequently, cells get dehydrated and wish water so as to replenish the lost moisture levels.
Polyphagia – Additionally, referred to as excessive starvation, this is yet one more warning signal associated to diabetes. In sort 2 diabetes, insulin is under-utilized. In consequence, the hormone stays in the blood, thereby sending a sign to the brain about want of glucose. In regular conditions, pancreas releases insulin solely when an individual is hungry.
Polyuria – This is without doubt one of the most attribute warning signs diabetes offers where an individual suffers with the urge to urinate frequently. Kidney or the renal system is the primary excretory organ of our physique that removes something that’s present in excess. Presence of glucose constantly stimulates the renal organs to launch it from the system. This is the reason why diabetics expertise polyuria.
Fatigue – Since the glucose current contained in the blood just isn’t metabolized properly, cells are always devoid of necessary energy levels. As a result of this, diabetics appear tired and fatigued.
Different characteristic signs of grownup diabetes embrace unexplained weight acquire or loss and blurred vision.
If you want to decide whether or not an individual is vulnerable to diabetes, greatest methodology is a diabetes symptoms quiz. Normally, physicians conduct this quiz in order to assess the diabetes threat potential of their patients. A diabetes symptoms quiz entails a sequence of questions on some generally observed signs of adult diabetes, BMI, familial history and age. Relying on the solutions, your danger is assessed.
Grownup diabetes is an illness that can lead to extreme health problems if left untreated. Normally, signs of adult diabetes appear in people aged above 40. Hence, once an individual reaches that age, it is higher to undergo periodical health check-up, pay attention to warning signs diabetes gives and endure a diabetes symptoms quiz so as to assess your danger potential. Remember, prevention is always higher than cure.
By protecting the completely different signs of grownup diabetes in mind, you might be far more prone to spot it early and prevent or your family members a great deal of extra time, vitality, and money. As well as, it is vitally potential that you might have also helped save somebody’s life.
What Do You Know About Adult Type 2 Diabetes?
All the three types are diabetes and many of the symptoms converge; however, each of these types has a different onset time and development.
What Is Adult Type 2 Diabetes?
Adult type 2 diabetes is almost always associated with being overweight, though it is not very clear what exactly triggers it. In this case, the insulin becomes lesser and lesser effective and as a result sugar starts to get built up in the blood. This is medically termed as insulin resistance. When this occurs, and this usually occurs in adults, the person is found to suffer of adult type 2 diabetes.
The adult type 2 diabetes is today an extremely common occurrence. It is estimated that 1 in 90 people suffer from the adult type 2 diabetes. Though this type usually develops in older adults, it is observed lately that this trend is more and more blurred.
What Exactly Is Insulin Resistance?
When the insulin normally produced in one’s body fails to regulate the sugar, this failure is termed as insulin resistance. You will find this type of diabetes called as ‘beta cell failure’.
Most of the symptoms are common to all the three types of diabetes, i.e. the patient will feel extremely thirsty and urinate often, will feel fatigued all the time, will experience sudden weight loss (though the loss in weight will not be too pronounced), there could be sudden itchiness around the genitalia (caused by yeast infection common with diabetics), get skin infections and irritation very frequently.
First of all, you will need to control your diet so that sugar will be kept in check.
You will need to introduce to your diet a great deal of fibre and eliminate fat to the largest extent.
You will need to learn to measure your blood glucose levels and to inject yourself with insulin when required.
Have a doctor’s number within easy reach so in case of any emergency you can immediately ask for expert advice and get medical help. | 2019-04-21T20:48:35Z | https://www.diabetestreatmentadvice.com/adult/adult-onset-diabetes/ |

Androidapplications are written in the Java programming language. The Android SDKtools compile the code—along with any data and resource files—into an Android package, an archive file with an .apk suffix. Allthe code in a single .apk file is considered to be one application and is thefile that Android-powered devices use to install the application.
By default, every application runs in its own Linux process. Android starts the process when any of the application's components need to be executed, then shuts down the process when it's no longer needed or when the system must recover memory for other applications.
Inthis way, the Android system implements the principle of least privilege. Thatis, each application, by default, has access onlyto the components that it requires to do its work and no more.This creates a very secure environment in which an application cannot accessparts of the system for which it is not given permission.
It's possible to arrange for two applications to share the same Linux user ID, in which case they are able to access each other's files. To conserve system resources, applications with the same user ID can also arrange to run in the same Linux process and share the same VM (the applications must also be signed with the same certificate).
An application can request permission to access device data such as the user's contacts, SMS messages, the mountable storage (SD card), camera, Bluetooth, and more. All application permissions must be granted by the user at install time.
Applicationcomponents are the essential building blocks ofan Android application. Each component is a different pointthrough which the system can enter yourapplication. Not all components are actual entrypoints for the user and some depend on each other, but each oneexists as its own entity and plays a specific role—each one is a unique building block that helps define yourapplication's overall behavior.
Thereare four different types of application components. Each type serves a distinctpurpose and has a distinct lifecycle that defines how the component is createdand destroyed.
An activity represents a single screen with auser interface. For example, an email application might have one activity thatshows a list of new emails, another activity to compose an email, and anotheractivity for reading emails. Although the activities work together to forma cohesive(紧密结合的) userexperience in the email application, each one is independent of the others. Assuch, a different application can start any one of these activities (ifthe email application allows it). For example, a camera application can startthe activity in the email application that composes new mail, in order for theuser to share a picture.
Anactivity is implemented as a subclass of Activity andyou can learn more about it in the Activities developerguide.
A service is a component that runs in thebackground to perform long-running operations or to perform work for remote processes. A service does not provide a user interface. For example, aservice might play music in the background while the user is in a differentapplication, or it might fetch data over the network without blocking userinteraction with an activity. Another component, such as an activity, can start the service and let it run or bind to it in order to interact with it.
Aservice is implemented as a subclass of Service andyou can learn more about it in the Services developerguide.
A content provider manages a shared set ofapplication data. You can store the data in the filesystem, an SQLite database, on the web, or anyother persistent storage location your application canaccess. Through the content provider, other applications can query or evenmodify the data (if the content provider allows it). For example, the Androidsystem provides a content provider that manages the user's contact information.As such, any application with the proper permissions can query part of thecontent provider (such as ContactsContract.Data) to readand write information about a particular person.
Contentproviders are also useful for reading and writing data that is private to yourapplication and not shared. For example, the Note Pad sampleapplication uses a content provider to save notes.
Acontent provider is implemented as a subclass of ContentProvider andmust implement a standard set of APIs that enable other applications to performtransactions. For more information, see the Content Providers developerguide.
A broadcast receiver is a component that responds to system-wide broadcast announcements. Many broadcasts originate（发起） fromthe system—for example, a broadcast announcing(宣告)thatthe screen has turned off, the battery is low, or a picture was captured.Applications can also initiate(发起) broadcasts—forexample, to let other applications know that some data has been downloaded tothe device and is available for them to use. Althoughbroadcast receivers don't display a user interface,they may create a status bar notification toalert the user when a broadcast event occurs. Morecommonly, though, a broadcast receiver is just a"gateway" to other components and is intended to do a very minimalamount of work. For instance, it might initiate a service to perform some workbased on the event.
Abroadcast receiver is implemented as a subclass of BroadcastReceiver andeach broadcast is delivered as an Intent object.For more information, see the BroadcastReceiver class.
Aunique aspect of the Android system design is that anyapplication can start another application’s component. Forexample, if you want the user to capture a photo with the device camera, there'sprobably another application that does that and your application can use it,instead of developing an activity to capture a photo yourself.You don't need to incorporate or even link to the code from the cameraapplication. Instead, you can simply start the activity in the cameraapplication that captures a photo. When complete, the photo is even returned toyour application so you can use it. To the user, it seems as if the camera isactually a part of your application.
Android系统被设计的一个比较独特的方面就是：任何APP都可以启动其他APP的组件. 例如，如果你想让用户使用照相机设备去捕捉一个照片时，可能已经有其他的APP已经可以做到了，而你的APP就可以直接使用它， 而不用自己去开发一个Activity来实现照片的捕捉了. 你并不需要和照相机APP进行合并或者接入到对方的代码里. 取而代之的是，你可以很简单的去启动一个照相机APP的Activity来捕捉照片. 当完成了这个过程，这张照片就会被返回到你的APP里并且可以使用了. 对于用户来说，照相机就好像是你APP里的一部分一样.
Whenthe system starts a component, it starts the process for that application (ifit's not already running) and instantiates the classes needed for thecomponent. For example, if your application starts the activity in the cameraapplication that captures a photo, that activity runs in the process thatbelongs to the camera application, not in your application's process.Therefore, unlike applications on most other systems, Androidapplications don't have a single entry point (there'sno main() function,for example).
Becausethe system runs each application in a separate process with file permissionsthat restrict access to other applications, yourapplication cannot directly activate a component from another application. TheAndroid system, however, can. So, to activate acomponent in another application, you must delivera message to the system that specifies your intent to start a particularcomponent. The system then activates the componentfor you.
Threeof the four component types—activities, services, and broadcastreceivers—are activated by an asynchronousmessage called an intent. Intents bind individualcomponents to each other at runtime (you can think of them as the messengersthat request an action from other components), whether the component belongs toyour application or another.
Anintent is created with an Intent object,which defines a message to activate either a specific component or aspecific type ofcomponent—an intent can be either explicitor implicit(显式或隐式的), respectively.
Foractivities and services, an intent defines the action to perform (for example,to "view" or "send" something) and mayspecify the URI of the data to act on (among other thingsthat the component being started might need to know). For example, an intentmight convey(传达) a requestfor an activity to show an image or to open a web page. In some cases, youcan start an activity to receive a result, in whichcase, the activity also returns the result in an Intent (forexample, you can issue an intent to let the user pick a personal contact andhave it returned to you—the return intent includes a URI pointingto the chosen contact).
Forbroadcast receivers, the intent simply defines the announcement being broadcast (forexample, a broadcast to indicate thedevice battery is low includes only a known action string that indicates"battery is low").
Theother component type, content provider, is not activated byintents. Rather, it is activated when targeted by arequest from aContentResolver.The content resolver handles all direct transactions with the content providerso that the component that's performing transactions with the provider doesn'tneed to and instead calls methods on the ContentResolver object.This leaves a layer of abstraction between the content provider and thecomponent requesting information (for security).
You can start an activity (or give it something new to do) by passing an Intent to startActivity() or startActivityForResult() (when you want the activity to return a result).
You can start a service (or give new instructions to an ongoing service) by passing an Intent to startService(). Or you can bind to the service by passing an Intent to bindService().
You can initiate a broadcast by passing an Intent to methods like sendBroadcast(), sendOrderedBroadcast(), or sendStickyBroadcast().
You can perform a query to a content provider by calling query() on a ContentResolver.
Beforethe Android system can start an application component, the system must knowthat the component exists by reading the application'sAndroidManifest.xml file(the "manifest" file). Your application must declare all itscomponents in this file, which must be at the root of the application projectdirectory.
Identify any user permissions the application requires, such as Internet access or read-access to the user's contacts.
Declare the minimum API Level required by the application, based on which APIs the application uses.
Declare hardware and software features used or required by the application, such as a camera, bluetooth services, or a multitouch screen.
API libraries the application needs to be linked against (other than the Android framework APIs), such as the Google Maps library.
Inthe <application> element,the android:icon attributepoints to resources for an icon that identifies the application.
Inthe <activity> element,the android:name attributespecifies the fully qualified class name ofthe Activity subclass andthe android:labelattributesspecifies a string to use as the user-visible label for the activity.
Activities,services, and content providers that you include in your source but do notdeclare in the manifest are not visible to the system and,consequently, can never run. However, broadcast receivers can be eitherdeclared in the manifest or created dynamically in code (asBroadcastReceiver objects)and registered with the system by calling registerReceiver().
Formore about how to structure the manifest file for your application, seethe The AndroidManifest.xml File documentation.
Asdiscussed above, in Activating Components,you can use an Intent tostart activities, services, and broadcast receivers. You can do so byexplicitly naming the target component (using the component class name) in theintent. However, the real power ofintents lies in the concept of intent actions. With intentactions, you simply describe the type of action youwant to perform (and optionally, the data upon which you’d like to perform the action) and allow the system to find acomponent on the device that can perform the action and start it. If there aremultiple components that can perform the action described by the intent, thenthe user selects which one to use.
Theway the system identifies the components that can respond to an intent is bycomparing the intent received to the intent filters provided in themanifest file of other applications on the device.
Whenyou declare anactivity in your app's manifest, you can optionally includeintent filters thatdeclare the capabilities of the activity so it can respondto intents fromother apps. You can declare an intentfilter for your component byadding an <intent-filter> elementasa child of the component's declaration element.
Then,if anotherapp creates an intent with the ACTION_SEND actionandpass it to startActivity(),the system maystart your activity so the user can draft and send an email.
Formore about creating intent filters, see the Intents and Intent Filters document.
There are avariety of devices powered by Android and not all of them provide the samefeatures and capabilities. In order to prevent your app from being installed ondevices that lack features needed by your app, it's important that you clearlydefine a profile for the types of devices your app supports by declaring deviceand software requirements in your manifest file. Most of thesedeclarations are informational only and the system does not read them, but externalservices such as Google Play do read them in order to provide filtering forusers when they search for apps from their device.
Now, devicesthat do not have a camera and have an Android version lower than2.1 cannot install your app from Google Play.
However, you canalso declare that your app uses the camera, but does not require it.In that case, your app must set the required attribute to "false" and check atruntime whether the device has a camera and disable any camera features asappropriate.
More informationabout how you can manage your app's compatibility with different devices isprovided in theDevice Compatibility document.
An Android appis composed of more than just code—it requires resources that are separate fromthe source code, such as images, audio files, and anything relating to thevisual presentation of the app. For example, you should define animations,menus, styles, colors, and the layout of activity user interfaces with XMLfiles. Using app resources makes it easy to update various characteristics ofyour app without modifying code and—by providing sets of alternativeresources—enables you to optimize your app for a variety of deviceconfigurations (such as different languages and screen sizes).
For every resourcethat you include in your Android project, the SDK build tools define a uniqueinteger ID, which you can use to reference the resource from yourapp code or from other resources defined in XML. For example, if your appcontains an image file named logo.png (saved in the res/drawable/ directory),the SDK tools generate a resource ID named R.drawable.logo, which you canuse to reference the image and insert it in your user interface.
One of the mostimportant aspects of providing resources separate from your source code is the ability for youto provide alternative resources for different device configurations. For example,by defining UI strings in XML, you can translate the strings into otherlanguages and save those strings in separate files. Then, based on a language qualifier thatyou append to the resource directory's name (such as res/values-fr/ for Frenchstring values) and the user's language setting, the Android system applies theappropriate language strings to your UI.
Android supportsmany different qualifiers for your alternative resources. Thequalifier is a short string that you include in the name of your resourcedirectories in order to define the device configuration for which thoseresources should be used. As another example, you should often create differentlayouts for your activities, depending on the device's screen orientation and size.For example, when the device screen is in portrait orientation (tall), youmight want a layout with buttons to be vertical, but when the screen is inlandscape orientation (wide), the buttons should be aligned horizontally. Tochange the layout depending on the orientation, you can define two differentlayouts and apply the appropriate qualifier to each layout's directory name.Then, the system automatically applies the appropriate layout depending on thecurrent device orientation.
For more aboutthe different kinds of resources you can include in your application and how tocreate alternative resources for different device configurations, read Providing Resources. | 2019-04-24T21:48:38Z | https://my.oschina.net/yaoqinwei/blog/203431 |
North Carolina takes driving while impaired charges seriously, , and the offense carries steep consequences. The stigma of a conviction could affect your personal relationships and professional life, in addition to criminal penalties.

After a DWI conviction in North Carolina, a judge will hold a sentencing hearing to determine whether aggravating or mitigating factors exist that should be considered before sentencing. Such factors may affect the sentence imposed. After hearing these aggravating and mitigating factors, the judge weighs the factors and decides on the appropriate sentencing level. .
Driving by the defendant at the time of the offense while his or her driver’s license was revoked for impaired driving.
Voluntary submission to a mental health facility for assessment and if recommended, participation in the recommended treatment.
Mitigating factors can help to effectively reduce the sentencing level of a DWI conviction. A criminal defense attorney can represent you during the hearing and help present these factors. The court can use the information when deciding on the terms and conditions of your sentence.
Aggravated Level One Punishment is one of the most severe punishments for DWI offenses in North Carolina. It can be applied when three or more grossly aggravating factors are present. It can result in a minimum of 12 months in jail and a maximum of 36 months, with no eligibility for parole. A fine of up to $10,000 also could be imposed.
Level One Punishment under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-179 could be imposed if a driver has two grossly aggravating factors when arrested for a DWI. It could result in between 30 days and two years in prison and a fine of up to $4,000. Probation also could be imposed, which could include the requirement of a substance abuse assessment and related treatment or education, plus abstaining from alcohol.
Level Two Punishment may be applied if the driver has only one grossly aggravating factor. The penalties include between seven days and 12 months in jail, in addition to a fine up to $2,000. Probation also could be imposed with restrictions similar to a level one punishment.
Level Three Punishment can be applied if no grossly aggravating factors are present and aggravating factors substantially outweigh any mitigating factors. Punishments include a minimum of 72 hours in jail or 72 hours community service and a maximum of six months and a fine up to $1,000.
Level Four Punishment could apply if no aggravating or mitigating factors are present or aggravating factors are substantially counterbalanced by any mitigating factors. Penalties include a minimum of 48 hours in jail or 48 hours of community service and a maximum of 120 days, plus a fine of up to $500.
Level Five Punishment would include a minimum of 24 hours in jail or 24 hours of community service and a maximum of 120 days, plus a fine of up to $200. The punishment could be applied if there are no aggravating or mitigating factors or mitigating factors substantially outweigh any aggravating factors.
Penalties can vary for the offense if the driver has three or more DWI convictions within the 10 years prior to the current offense. The crime could be considered a felony, which could carry at least one year in prison.
In addition to the criminal penalties listed above, it is important to know an arrest for a North Carolina impaired driving offense could lead to your driver’s license being administratively revoked for at least 30 days. If you are convicted of the offense, you could lose driving privileges for even longer.

Today R-CALF USA, through its attorneys, filed its reply in the federal district court in Montana to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) opposition to the group's motion to expand the scope of their beef checkoff case to include more states.
The district court granted, and the appellate court upheld, a preliminary injunction stopping USDA from violating the U.S. Constitution by compelling Montana cattle producers to pay for the private speech of the private Montana Beef Council without the producers' consent.
R-CALF USA asked the court to expand the case to include 13 additional states in which producers are similarly required to pay for the private speech of their respective private beef councils without their consent. The USDA filed an opposition to the group's request, essentially claiming the USDA would be prejudiced if the court expanded the case because the government would then be deprived of arguing their position in each of the courts in the states where the additional beef councils are located.
Today's reply urges the court to expand the case to include 15 states, by adding Maryland. The reply states the case rests on the sole question of whether the government has violated the Constitution by compelling producers to fund private speech without their consent. Because civil actions may be brought against the federal government in any federal district court, R-CALF USA asserts the Montana federal court has jurisdiction over both the USDA and the Constitution and can, therefore, include the additional states.
"Our goal is to defend the constitutional right of every cattle producer to choose whether to fund private speech. We want to empower independent cattle producers to hold their respective beef councils accountable for the money that is received and spent. We want to uphold the principals of our free market system by making the decision to fund private speech voluntary. And, we want independent producers to have a meaningful opportunity to express either their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with how the overall beef checkoff program is operated.
"We also want independent producers to be able to withhold funds when they are used to promote corporate control over their industry or corporate promotion. And, we want to empower independent producers to put an end to the pay-to-play scheme in which state beef councils send millions of dollars to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association-controlled Federation of State Beef Councils while the NCBA is lobbying Congress to defeat initiatives important to producers, such as mandatory country-of-origin labeling and reforms to prevent meatpackers from manipulating cattle markets.
"The fact that beef checkoff dollars are used to promote the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, which attempts to control producers by dictating how they must raise their cattle, is clear evidence that independent producers have lost their right to choose the path their industry will follow into the future.
"Our goal to empower independent producers will be made possible if we prevail in our lawsuit and are able to include tens of thousands of more independent cattle producers under the protection of our court-ordered injunction."
Attorneys for R-CALF USA include lead counsel David Muraskin, a Food Project Attorney at Public Justice, J. Dudley Butler, of the Farm and Ranch Law Group, and Bill Rossbach of Rossbach Law, P.C. in Missoula, Montana. | 2019-04-19T14:27:04Z | http://www.oklahomafarmreport.com/wire/news/2018/09/01231_RCALFFilesResponsetoUSDAOppositiontoMotion09072018_130545.php |

For many years computer applications organized their data between two tiers: memory and storage. The emerging non-volatile memory technologies introduce a third tier.
Non-volatile memory is accessed like volatile memory, using processor load and store instructions, but it retains its contents across power loss like storage.
SAP HANA is at the forefront and pioneers by adopting the latest hardware technologies of Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) to evolve in-memory computing even further. Intel DIMM based on 3D XPoint™ technology is fully aligned with the SNIA programming models for NVM and provides support for Block, File, Volume, and Persistent Memory (PM) File mode. SAP HANA focus is on leveraging memory mapping in NVM.PM.FILE mode which enables direct access to persistent memory using CPU instructions.
NVM technology has higher (than DRAM) latencies resulting in slightly lower performance, but it offers cost-efficient store of large data while still providing real-time access.
As data volumes keep growing, in-memory databases like SAP HANA require larger capacities. DRAM scaling has slowed significantly and will offer lower capacities.
Without NVM each restart for an IMDB can take upto 1 hour to load TBs of data to memory.
An excellent candidate for placement in NVRAM is the MAIN-part of SAP HANA column store. It is heavily optimized in terms of compression, leading to a very stable – non-volatile – data structure. Furthermore, the main contains well over 90% of the data footprint in most SAP HANA databases, which means it offers a lot of potential. The main is only changed during the delta merge. Since this process is asynchronous, it significantly lowers the impact of slower write transactions on NVRAM compared to DRAM. Especially since these changes must be written to the – SSD-based – persistency layer anyway. Fewer writes are also favorable in terms of endurance, since NVRAM has a limited number of P/E cycles. Read access to the main involves mostly sequential scan operations, where cache line pre-fetching will mitigate the higher latency of NVRAM.
This design fits HANAs architecture almost perfectly. The separation of write-optimized Delta and read-optimized Main and the characteristics of both areas match the respective strengths and weaknesses of both, DRAM and NVRAM, excellently.
The non-volatility of NVRAM means that, at startup, all data in the column store main (90%+ of all data!) will already be in memory. No more exhausting reloading from the persistency and full performance right from the beginning.
For more details look at SAP HANA Adoption of Non-Volatile Memory. | 2019-04-25T08:46:15Z | https://tmilinovic.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/sap-hana-adoption-of-non-volatile-memory-nvm/ |

The search for new ideas must go broad and deep throughout an organization. Traditional corporate controls and structures don't work well with innovation teams. New methods are needed to gauge effectiveness.
Innovators must be kept connected to the mainstream business. Isolating them leads to tensions with other parts of the company and lessens the chances that their work will be adopted.
Every managerial generation rediscovers the need for innovation to drive growth but, decade after decade, "grand declarations about innovation are followed by mediocre execution that produces anemic results, and innovation groups are quietly disbanded in quiet cost-cutting drives." So observes Rosabeth Moss Kanter in a new Harvard Business Review article, "Innovation: The Classic Traps."
Kanter, who holds the Ernest L. Arbuckle Professorship at Harvard Business School, specializing in strategy, innovation, and leadership for change, discusses her ideas on managing innovation and what companies can do to avoid the innovation traps that snare so many.
Sean Silverthorne: Companies and executives seem doomed to repeat the past when it comes to innovation. What are some of these mistakes and why are they repeated each generation?
Rosabeth Moss Kanter: Innovation seems to be rediscovered in each managerial generation (about every six years) as a fundamental way to enable new growth. But each generation seems to have forgotten or never learned the mistakes of the past, so we see classic traps repeated over and over again. Some of these repeat offenders include burying innovation teams under too much bureaucracy, treating the innovators as more valued corporate citizens than those who work in the current business, and hiring leaders who don't have the relationship and communications skills necessary to foster innovation.
Why the refusal to learn from the past? Institutional memories are short. But internal business pressures also play a part as executives balance the need to protect current revenue streams with the imperative to get behind new concepts crucial to future success. And too often executives lack courage—they call for innovation but then pull the plug on every idea brought their way.
Q: You categorize these mistakes under the headings of strategy, process, structure, and skills. Could you summarize your remedies?
Create processes and controls. The innovation process is inherently uncertain, so companies must develop new ways of tracking progress in these units. Rewarding a manager who "sticks to plan" doesn't encourage something new.
Select the right leadership. Innovation teams can't be isolated—their ideas will never catch on. So pick leaders who not only can communicate inside and outside the organization but who also know how to foster a collaborative culture.
In short, there are a lot of specific things companies can do to encourage rather than stifle innovation. But overall, companies need a culture and way of working that emphasizes flexibility and attention to relationships across areas.
Q: One of your warnings for corporate leaders is to be careful not to create two classes of corporate citizens: "those who have all the fun" and "those who make all the money." What's the central message here?
A: In 2002, Arrow Electronics attempted a new Internet venture, Arrow.com. The group was granted perks not given to others, and this did not go unnoticed by the sales group, which was already feeling threatened by Internet-enabled sales. The result: a literal brick wall was erected to separate the two sides of the building. Time was wasted battling each other and even stealing each others' customers.
So the message is you can't afford to build two cultures. Strong interpersonal connections must be created between the new and the established. In fact, each must contribute to the other.
Q: What is the innovation pyramid and how does it work?
A: The innovation pyramid is an innovation strategy that works at three levels. The lion's share of the investment underwrites a few big bets at the top: clear directions for the future. The second level is a portfolio of promising mid-range ideas driven by designated teams. At the bottom of the pyramid are early-stage ideas or incremental innovations that permit continuous improvement.
Influence flows from top to bottom—the big bets encourage smaller wins heading in the same direction. But success can also flow from the bottom to the top—3M's Post-it Notes is one such example.
Senior managers can use the innovation pyramid to gauge current efforts, recalibrate as ideas prove their value, and ensure there is activity at all levels.
Q: What companies do you think are the best at fostering innovation and avoiding these traps that snare others?
A: In the article I point to success stories from a number of companies including IBM, Seagate, Williams-Sonoma, P&G, and Gillette. Using the Innovation Pyramid model to accelerate innovation, Gillette created a stream of innovations—a battery-powered toothbrush, the marketing campaign for the Mach3Turbo, and the new-concept 2006 five-blade battery-powered Fusion shaving system—that raised revenues and profits.
Managers at these companies have learned the innovation lessons of the past. They strike the right balance between getting the highest returns from current activities and investing in new growth, they create organizational flexibility, and they foster communication and relationships.
A: I'm working with a small number of exemplary global companies that set high standards for themselves to see how they develop those standards, apply them to every business function, use them to raise the standards of the countries in which they operate, and generate productive innovation and new business opportunities in the process.
This continues my interest in innovation on a much bigger scale, and I'm already learning about cutting-edge new business practices. Stay tuned; I will start reporting on this in the spring. | 2019-04-25T08:58:52Z | https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/lessons-not-learned-about-innovation |
More than 200 electric co-op leaders from across the state were in Nashville on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 29 and 30, for the 2018 Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association Legislative Conference. During meetings with legislators on Capitol Hill, co-op members and employees stressed the important role that co-ops play in their communities and briefed lawmakers on issues that impact rural and suburban Tennessee.
Co-ops asked lawmakers to support Senate Bill 1646 and House Bill 1591 that will speed the deployment of broadband by allowing co-ops to utilize existing easements for nonelectric purposes such as telecommunication services.
Co-ops expressed support for Senate Bill 1752 and House Bill 1773 that will elevate the charges of assaulting a utility worker and makes them consistent with penalties already in place to protect other first responders.
While legislation has not yet been filed, a final issue discussed was an effort by the Department of Revenue to apply sales tax to fees paid by utility consumers. Co-ops asked the General Assembly to enact legislation to protect utility consumers from these additional taxes.
“Educated and informed legislators are necessary for us to provide low-cost, reliable power, and our legislators listen when we come to visit,” said Callis. More than 100 legislative visits were made during the conference, and many legislators from across the state attended a reception honoring members of the Tennessee General Assembly.
[NASHVILLE] – On Friday, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development announced that two electric cooperatives will receive grants to support the deployment of broadband in rural Tennessee. Gibson Electric Membership Corporation in Trenton will receive $1,353,148 million and Tri-County Electric Membership Corporation in Lafayette will receive $1,350,000.
In 2017, the Tennessee General Assembly, bolstered by strong support from Gov. Bill Haslam, passed the Tennessee Broadband Accessibility Act. This landmark legislation removed restrictions that prevented electric cooperatives from providing retail internet access and established a grant fund to encourage broadband expansion.
Tennessee’s electric co-ops serve more than 2.5 million Tennesseans, many of whom do not currently have access to broadband.
The 110th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee reconvened on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, for the second year of the two-year session and the first year in their new legislative offices at the Cordell Hull Building. It is expected that the upcoming legislative session will be a short one as 2018 is an election year, and members cannot raise funds for re-election while the legislature is in session.
Over two dozen members of the General Assembly will be retiring or running for a different elected office in 2018 and will likely be eager to return to their districts as quickly as possible. House Speaker Beth Harwell (R – Nashville), a gubernatorial candidate herself, will also be pushing for a quick session so that she may return to the campaign and fundraising trail.
Major issues likely to be taken up in the 2018 legislative agenda include the opioid epidemic, medical marijuana, seven-day liquor and wine sales and, of course, the budget.
A task force on opioid and prescription drug abuse, created by Speaker Harwell, met this summer and compiled a list of recommendations for treatment, prevention and policy. It is expected that a number of these recommendations will be introduced in legislative form this session. Look for bills that limit emergency room prescriptions, call for the hiring of additional Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Agents and establish a commission to combat drug abuse.
Rep. Jeremy Faison (R – Cosby) has been on a mission to legalize medical marijuana, and he may be closer than ever to reaching his goal. He will present a bill this session that would allow patients with certain debilitating illnesses to obtain prescriptions for certain marijuana products, including oils and extracts in capsules, pills, ointments, lotions and liquids. Smoking will not be an allowable product. While the bill would not allow for the recreational use of marijuana, opponents of the bill argue this is the next step before legalizing marijuana for recreational use. While the chances of passage this year may still be slim, the tide seems to be shifting in supporters’ way.
The wine-in-grocery-stores law became effective in July 2016 and some liquor stores have seen a dramatic decrease in sales as a result. In hopes to offset some of this decline in sales, a bill was filed last year to permit wine and liquor sales on all seven days of the week. The 2017 bill was ultimately opposed by some vocal retail liquor store owners who want to maintain a state-mandated day off despite lagging sales. Working in support of the measure is a coalition consisting of grocery stores, the Tennessee Retail Association and manufacturers of distilled spirits. The coalition will resume its efforts to clear a path forward in 2018.
Of specific interest to electric cooperatives, a coalition of utility associations will work to ensure that sales tax is not newly applied to fees charged by water, sewer, gas, and electric providers. This is the result of potential rule making by the Department of Revenue which would apply the state sales tax to fees charged to electric cooperative commercial and industrial customers. The rule has not yet been finalized, but conversations with the Department have shown that proactive legislation is the best bet to ensure that increased taxation for utility customers does not occur.
Senator Ken Yager (R-Kingston) and Representative Gerald McCormick (R-Chattanooga) will be introducing legislation to ensure that electric cooperatives have full rights to utilize cooperative easements for any purpose that State authorizes cooperatives to perform. This legislation will ensure that any written or prescriptive easement held by the co-op could be legally used for the provision of electric and telecommunications services.
Other issues will surely rise throughout the course of the session, and the TECA Government Affairs team will keep members informed each step along the way.
During a speech today at the Farm Bureau Federation Annual Meeting in Nashville, President Donald Trump emphasized the need for expanded connectivity across rural America.
David Callis, executive vice president and general manager of the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association, made the following statement.
Tennessee’s electric co-ops serve more than 2.5 million Tennesseans, many of whom do not have access to broadband.
In 2017, Gov. Bill Haslam and the Tennessee General Assembly recognized that electric co-ops are uniquely positioned to help close the state’s digital divide. The Tennessee Broadband Accessibility Act removed restrictions that prevented electric cooperatives from providing retail internet access. Just nine months later, some areas of the state are already seeing the benefits. Two co-ops have active broadband pilot projects, and several others will begin connecting consumers later this year.
The decisions made in Nashville can have a direct impact on your family or business. That makes it important to stay informed and, at times, reach out to your elected officials. Tennesseans interested in government and politics now have a powerful tool for connecting with state lawmakers.
Fully redesigned for 2018, the 110th Tennessee General Assembly app features a continually updated, searchable database of contact, staff and committee information as well as photos, leadership roles and social media profiles for members of the Tennessee House and Senate. The app also contains information on the governor and his cabinet and the Tennessee congressional delegation.

Electric co-ops have a mission to improve everyday life for our members and the communities we serve. That mission wasn’t completed when we first brought power to rural Tennessee in the 1930s. The mission today is unchanged — to understand the needs of our members and take action when we can to create new opportunities in our communities.
Co-ops provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity, but our efforts go far beyond energy.
Your electric co-op, no matter the size, is part of a large cooperative network that reaches across the state. We have a massive footprint, impacting the daily lives of some 2.5 million Tennesseans. The work performed by our co-ops strengthens our communities, helping rural and suburban Tennessee as we face new challenges and opportunities. Co-ops serve 71 percent of the state’s landmass, providing electricity to 1 in 3 homes across the state. We have infrastructure in 84 of the state’s 95 counties.
Michael Watson, president of Duck River EMC and new chair of the TECA board of trustees, presides over the resolution process.
“Build Up” was the theme of the 76th annual meeting of the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association held Sunday, Nov. 19, through Tuesday, Nov. 21, in Nashville. More than 350 electric cooperative leaders from across the state attended the event to explore the impact of co-ops and challenge one another to meet the needs of our communities.
Our goal — and the message of the meeting — is to build up our communities in any way we can. We recruit jobs and economic investment; we prepare the next generation of leaders; we give back through charitable donations, taxes and payroll; and we are on the leading edge of a movement that will bring high-speed internet to rural communities. Electric co-ops build up Tennessee — creating opportunities, impacting families and positioning communities to grow and prosper.
The challenge given to our cooperative leaders at the meeting was to think carefully about their co-ops and their co-op members. It takes careful planning to address the needs and expectations of co-op members. That focus is what drives our policies and the direction of each co-op.
While many challenges face rural Tennessee, there are also many opportunities for each co-op. It’s an important role we play: improving everyday life for our members.
Together, rural electric co-ops can — and do — build up Tennessee.

Cooperatives are, by any measure, a big deal in our state. From the Mississippi River to the Great Smoky Mountains, cooperatives improve the well-being of rural residents and communities across our state. They provide electric, internet and telephone services to homes, farms and rural businesses. They help Tennesseans secure financing for land. They offer products and services — including genetics and seed, nutrients and feed, crop protection and health equipment and fuel — for growing and marketing crops and livestock. They provide insurance for individuals and family businesses. And they employ thousands of Tennesseans.
Some 200 cooperatives currently serve Tennesseans through more than 6,000 employees working to impact our state’s economy by more than $1 billion annually, supporting schools and local infrastructure through tax contributions, enhancing our commitment to and focus on rural economies and shaping and empowering our state’s future.
The best thing about cooperatives? They are controlled by their members who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions. Representatives are elected from among the membership and are accountable to the membership. Every member has equal voting rights: one member, one vote. This is one of our key guiding principles.
Other than certain rules that we have to follow like regulatory or legal requirements, the policies your electric cooperative follows were developed by co-op member-owners like yourself.
That difference in ownership also leads to a difference in governance. Many corporate board members are selected because of their wealth, influence and position. That’s not the criteria for a co-op board. First and foremost, every electric co-operative director is a member of the cooperative. Directors serve on the board because they were elected by other co-op members — you — to represent them.
Because they are members, they live and often work in the communities they serve. That ensures that their attention is rightly focused on where they live. When you make a decision that affects you and your neighbors, you want to get it right. If you don’t, your neighbors will let you know about it.
Cooperatives across the state work for the development of their communities. Support for education, healthcare and economic development helps grow the community and keep it vibrant for tomorrow’s co-op members — your children and grandchildren.
Earlier this summer, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, by proclamation, declared October 2017 as Cooperative Month. With 75 percent of Tennesseans served in some manner by a cooperative, we think a month-long celebration of co-operative membership is a fitting tribute. | 2019-04-22T00:30:46Z | https://www.tnelectric.org/category/issues/page/3/ |
It's official. I'm another year older!
I had an amazing birthday full of love! It really was a fantastic day!
Grant wished me a happy birthday as soon as he woke up this morning, then I drifted back off to sleep. The kids were off school, so I didn't have to get up too early. The next time I opened my eyes, Dylan and Lily were coming into my room, singing "Happy Birthday" to me. It was the sweetest!
I was in for an even bigger surprise. The older kids surprised me with breakfast! They made me wheat toast topped with butter and cinnamon sugar, sliced strawberries, and hot tea! WHEN did they get big enough to make me breakfast?!?
They were all sitting on top of the table waiting for me to come into the kitchen. Four kids sitting on the table, one with dirty shoes, and one without pants. I typically would tell them to get down, but they were so excited and so proud! I'm lucky to have an entourage greet me in the morning!
Our morning was very rushed. We only had about a half hour to eat, get ready, get dressed, and get out the door. Let me just say...we were racing through the house!
Our first item on our agenda was going to the school for Dylan and Lexie's conferences with their teachers. It was one of those things where I really didn't have to go. As usual, both kids are doing great. Their teachers adore them and they're doing really well in school. Each conference lasted less than 5 minutes, so it was very painless!
We were less rushed leaving the school, so we were able to appreciate the nearly 70 degree sunny day. The weather was gorgeous! Such a special birthday treat! After a quick stop at the pharmacy, we headed home to get our stuff together for our playdate.
We had a bit of time before we had to leave, so we all snuggled up and attempted a group photo. We ended up laughing so hard, because there were too many of us and my phone kept distorting our faces. Honestly, those few minutes were some of my favorite all day. I love these kids with every ounce of my being, and I will always remember laughing hysterically with them over some of our "alien" faces!
We finally left the house for our park playdate. We stopped at the grocery store to pick up some picnic food, and as we were coming out it started pouring! Change of plans!!!
We ended up meeting our friends at a local arcade. It was noisy, crowded, and chaotic, but the kids had fun, and I loved spending time with my friends. I got beautiful flowers and we snacked on jelly beans and shared delicious chocolate cheesecake! Miraculously, the last bit of migraine that was lingering ended up going away. Of course, it could have been the caffeine and the cake, but what a relief!
It wasn't the afternoon I planned on, but it turned out to be just as much fun!
Dylan ended up going home with a friend for a sleepover, so I hugged my sweet boy goodbye. He made my birthday so special!
Lily fell asleep on the way home, so we had a few minutes of quiet before my Grant's mom and brother stopped by with gifts. We had a really nice visit! By the time they left, it was time for me to get ready for my dinner and shopping date with Grant! My dad came over to watch the kids, Grant got home from work, and we headed out for date night!
Our first stop was Olive Garden for dinner, then Grant treated me to a shopping spree for some spring/summer clothing. It was a tradition we started last year, and I LOVED it! After a trip to Target for some necessities and a quick stop at the gas station, we headed home. It was such a fun evening!
As soon as we got home, Grant gave me a small gift he picked out for me (some new shelves!), but my most favorite thing was the unbelievably sweet card he gave to me. His words had me in tears!
...then we put the kids to bed. We curled up on the couch, ate Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden (the BEST!), and watched a few episodes of Gilmore Girls (our guilty pleasure!). It was the perfect way to end my birthday!
It was such a wonderful day! I may be another year older, but I treasure every single day I'm given to love and be loved. That's what truly matters!
Happy, happy Birthday! I LOVE the last picture! Moms need more pictures like that - surrounded by her blessings!!!
Aaaahhhh! Happy Birthday! I agree the first and last picture are my favorites.
Have a wonderful weekend. Hope you are able to keep on celebrating.
Happy Birthday Momma! Looks like a blessed day with all those little loves of yours!
Sounds like you had the perfect Birthday! Happy Birthday again to you! Love all the pics!
Happy birthday Stefanie! What a very (busy) and special day. Love the group photo!! | 2019-04-20T08:31:16Z | https://www.lexieloolilyliamdylantoo.com/2015/04/another-year-older.html |
