FORMER KING of Spain – and Abu Dhabi resident – Juan Carlos I is reportedly thinking of acquiring a property in Sanxenxo (Galicia).
The father of King Felipe VI is enjoying his time in the north of Spain, where he was going to take part in a boat regatta that ended up being cancelled due to the bad weather conditions.
This is Juan Carlos’ second visit to Spain since fleeing to the United Arab Emirates capital in August 2020 after being involved in a scandal over a large hidden fortune.
Now the former monarch has told the Spanish Royal House he intends to start visiting the country more frequently.
And he is believed to be looking for a property near the coast of Sanxenxo where he can maintain his privacy.
Juan Carlos I is currently staying at the villa of his close friend Pedro Campos.
But owning a property would allow the former monarch to have more privacy and comfort during the regatta seasons.
It is believed he will be back in Galicia to compete in another sailing competition on June 9.

The LLVP was set up in 2008 to allow easy access to low visual aids for those whose vision cannot be fully corrected by spectacles or contact lenses and whose lives are adversely affected by their visual impairment.
So if you are struggling with your vision, make an appointment for a Low Vision Assessment. We will check that you are seeing as well as you can with spectacles and then try different aids according to your needs.
There is a wide range of magnifiers and monoculars available. It is a matter of trying the different ones.
If your main issue is with distance vision we can offer different powered monoculars. These can be a bit tricky to begin with but, using your stronger eye, you can become quite adept at using it.
For reading, we mostly use hand-held or stand magnifiers. Some of them are fitted with LEDs which makes the print even easier to read. Again, it’s a matter of trying different aids to see which one suits you best.
The success of the visual aids depends on the nature of your visual impairment and your motivation.
The aids are supplied on a loan basis. You will be given them free of charge on the understanding that you will return them if they are no longer of use to you. At that stage we may be able to swap it for something stronger.
So, if you’re struggling and your spectacles cannot be any better just call 01355 247581 to make an appointment for a Low Vision Assessment and you can have a go at the magnifiers available.

A baby gorilla chanced its arm to prank a silverback – and it’s today’s cheekiest watch
We’re grateful to u/ParadoxTrick for sharing this funny clip of a young gorilla winding up a long-suffering silverback. Watch what happened.
That’s either the bravest little ape – or the stupidest. Reddit users very much enjoyed the spectacle.
Little fucker made me laugh when he tried it from inside the tree.
Oh man that was great.
Little monkey’s got some balls.
I nominate the little fellow for the “Madlad Of The Week” award.
The new Planet of the Apes movie is not what I expected.
Little gorilla is a comedian.
Prove trolling existed before humans 😀
Ah, so this is what was meant by “monkey business”.
As another dad, I wanna pull a stool up, crack a beer open with this gorilla and say “man, sometimes I just can’t put up with these kids “
I love how real gorillas look like humans using a gorilla costume.
lol naughty gorilla
If there’s one thing adult gorillas can do, it’s handle boisterous kids.

The hard knock life of a seagoing refrigerated shipping container and the alternative solution
Reefers have a hard life, particularly at sea. All of which helps explain how rail is becoming a more attractive proposition, and here we explore the key reasons why. It’s a tough life being a refrigerated shipping container. Yes they get to travel the world carrying all manner of temperature sensitive loads. And yes, they’re designed to be tough, sturdy, and to deliver their cargo in perfect condition – no matter how far or arduous the journey.
Sounds glamorous, but scratch below the surface and we quickly find a story of hardship. At least that’s the view you get when reading up on the top causes of container claims.
A harrowing tale this evidence can also present, supported by an extensive list of what a refrigerated container is subjected to – from internal condensation and contamination to being dropped in the water!
Yet many such problems occur because of older shipping containers lacking today’s latest innovations, and technologies such as Thermo King’s Advanced Fresh Air Management (AFAM) that’s designed to maintain an optimal shipping environment – whatever the conditions!
Lost shipping containers at sea – the numbers
According to a recent survey by the World Shipping Council, an average of 1,390 containers have been lost at sea each year over the past three years. This is since the complete loss of the MOL Comfort in the Indian Ocean in 2014 that alone lost all of the 4,293 containers on board (and hence skewed the number for that year).
But this should be kept in context: it’s estimated that on any typical day around six million containers are in transit on vessels, trucks, and trains – making a combined 200 million trips each year.
Hence the importance of controlling what can be controlled – like using Thermo King’s MAGNUM PLUS® that enables transporters to understand how much power a reefer is using – and to be proactive is addressing and potential problems.
Safely making it to port brings a sigh of relief. But even then, the refrigerated shipping container has further obstacles to overcome, including custom exams, damage during off-loading, demurrage (a cost that’s charged by liners when containers are held longer than the agreed time at port), and lost containers.
This last point – not knowing where a specific container is – can now be easily addressed with the latest in remote monitoring technologies, such as RMM+ from Thermo King that offers a GPRS positioning system to reduce any form of cargo loss.
Rail’s growing reputation
But what else can be done to make life easier for the ever-enduring reefer?
Well, shipping over sea is of course only one mode of transport. As for alternatives, an increasingly popular choice is rail – and it’s here that new technologies, new capabilities, and solid infrastructure investment present transporters with a ‘refreshed’ offering.
Refrigeration management technologies are now better equipped to handle the specific stresses of transport over rail, resulting in solutions that allow the same reefer box to transport temperature sensitive cargo by sea, rail, and road.
Infrastructure investment in rail networks are steadily growing, with Europe alone set to invest €37 billion, while China’s One Belt, One Road initiative looks set to encompass $900 billion dollars worth of investment.
Consider all the possibilities
Each mode of transport has its pros and cons. But with the maritime option lengthening lead times and introducing the risks laid out above, transport managers are increasingly being asked to consider the alternatives – and especially rail – when identifying their ideal route.
All of which places the emphasis on your choice of intermodal refrigerated shipping containers. To ensure you’re in the best place to take advantage of every opportunity, get up to date on Thermo King’s full intermodal range.

The word nubile is often used to describe a young woman who is ready for marriage or sexual relationships. However, some people find the term sexist or outdated. Synonyms for nubile include mature, blossoming, marriageable, fertile, and of marriageable age. Other options include youthful, vibrant, and attractive. The word ripe can also be used to describe a young woman who is sexually mature. These synonyms are appropriate for describing a young woman who has reached sexual maturity, without objectifying her or reducing her to her reproductive potential. It is important to choose language that is respectful and empowering, and to avoid terms that perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – From Taylor Swift’s new Eras Tour book priced at $39.99 and sold only at Target, to a $50.99 Jessica Simpson puffer coat at Walmart, marked down from $84.99, major U.S. retailers stocked their shelves for Black Friday with exclusive products and lots of general merchandise steeply discounted.
As retailers prepare to open as early as 5 a.m. following the American Thanksgiving holiday, they are hoping more people seek to close out their shopping lists despite a shorter timeframe.
Walmart, which operates 4,700 U.S. stores, opens its doors at 6 a.m., as does Target, with 1,963 stores. Walmart this year is offering a variety of deals on Samsung TVs, Dyson vacuum cleaners, Lego and Hot Wheels toys, Levi’s jeans, and air fryers, though its pre-Black Friday discounts began November 11.
Target cut prices by $100 on products such as a 75-inch Westinghouse TV and Nintendo Switch gaming console, as well as more than 50% off Barbie dolls, Keurig coffee machines and KitchenAid mixers, deals which started on Thanksgiving and run through Saturday. Target is selling exclusive “Wicked”-related products, including “Wicked” soundtrack CDs for $39.99 with an offer of buy two get one free for Target Circle members.
The National Retail Federation, a U.S. retail trade group, expects roughly 85.6 million shoppers to visit stores this year, up from 76 million on Black Friday last year. Shoppers have only 26 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas; last year, they had a more leisurely 31 days.
Adding pressure for retailers is inflation-fatigued shoppers’ reluctance to splurge unless they get good deals.
While most U.S. retailers are closed on Thanksgiving, some like J.C. Penney will open as early as 5 a.m. on Friday to give shoppers a holiday shopping head start. Best Buy , Lowe’s and Home Depot will open doors at 6 a.m., with Costco, TJ Maxx, Ikea and Sephora opening between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., according to local store postings.
“With fewer days to shop, consumers are more likely to make spontaneous purchases, contributing to retail growth during the holiday season,” said Marshal Cohen, chief retail advisor at Circana.
Black Friday marks the start of the Christmas shopping season and is known for crowds lining up at big-box stores for “doorbuster” discounts in early hours after American Thanksgiving. But it has lost its luster as more Americans shop online, a trend that accelerated by the pandemic.
Major brick-and-mortar retail chains plan to showcase interactive products and experiences, including Ray-Ban augmented-reality glasses, extra-extra-large TVs at electronics retailer Best Buy, and spa services at U.S. department store chain Nordstrom Inc.

KZN holidaymaker goes missing from Mumbai airport, sparking search
A 69-year-old KwaZulu-Natal man has disappeared from Mumbai airport in India, sparking an international search.
Dhramalingum Pillay of Tongaat was returning from a holiday in the country when he went missing.
Family spokesperson Mandy Govender, an ex-police officer and community worker formerly from Tongaat, said CCTV footage confirmed Pillay walked out of the airport.
She said he was diagnosed with dementia after suffering a stroke.
“He was returning to South Africa on Monday morning with his daughter. There was a long flight delay in the early hours of the morning and they were exhausted. His daughter dozed off while sitting on a bench for about 20 minutes and he walked away from her,” said Govender.
She said Indian police; the South African Embassy, with Col Porky Govender, who is based in India; the Indian Consulate; and a member of the Indian Legislative Assembly were working with the family to help find Pillay.
Govender said hundreds of pamphlets with the man’s picture were printed and distributed at strategic points.
“At the moment, with the level of co-operation and support being received, all we can do is be hopeful.”
Govender said the family appealed to South Africans to network with people they knew in India to spread the word.
“Everyone is doing their best and we are using a chat group to communicate on progress in India,” she said.
Govender can be contacted on 067-718-2070 with information that may lead to locating Pillay.

Real sustainability, partnerships and holding ourselves to account
Sustainability is the beating heart of our business—the benchmark for everything we do. At a time when there is much economic and ecological uncertainty, our impact on the planet only becomes more crucial to us and our partners. After all, real sustainability can only be achieved by working together.
At Tosca, our partnerships are more than just transactional. We choose to work with like-minded businesses and brands to reduce our environmental footprint at every turn. It is a challenge we take on together.
And yet, as the world continues to wake up to issues of global warming and the impact of consumption, many are talking the talk, while failing to walk the walk. Performative action or “greenwashing” made headlines in 2022 and it’s a conversation that’s not going anywhere. Promises are no longer good enough. People are rightfully demanding action, results and proof when it comes to sustainability.
We’ve always believed in total transparency when it comes to how we run our business and what we can still improve upon. It’s the same story with our partners. So, here’s how, together, we’re turning blue-sky thinking into practical action.
Packaging: Why it Matters
We all know we should recycle. We all know not to drop litter on the ground. But how much do we understand about the importance of sustainable packaging? Research from Eurostat shows us that in 2020, only 64% of packaging waste generated by EU member states was recycled. The rest went into landfill. And the real kick in the teeth? It’s completely avoidable. Tosca alone has eliminated over 2 million metric tons of single-use packaging from supply chains as of February 2023. Imagine the impact if suppliers, processors, and retailers all switched to reusable rather than single-use packaging?
Eliminating Waste at Every Turn, Together
Eliminating waste remains at the heart of our customer partnerships. Through our shared sustainability goals, we go on a journey with every one of our partners, working to evolve their supply chains and help them to reach their ambitious targets. In a world of eco “promises”, we make sure our partners are showing results.
Take our partner Wegmans, a major grocery retailer based in the USA, as an example. Having adopted Tosca’s packaging for its seafood produce, it has since eliminated 2 million Styrofoam cases from ending up in landfill annually.
In addition to this, for our partners and the planet, waste is not limited to the packaging itself. Cheap, single-use packaging that does not properly protect the produce inside has big repercussions. If a dozen eggs are broken every time you deliver a box, eventually the impact on costs – and our feathered friends – will begin to pile up. To put this into perspective, a leading national retail partner stated that a staggering 37 million eggs were saved from damage or discard in a single year thanks to Tosca.
We’re Nothing If Not Efficient
One of the core things we do to help our partners become more sustainable is to make their businesses more efficient.
Creating increasingly sustainable packaging is important, but it is just one chapter of the much wider distribution story. Efficiency for our partners can come in the form of:
- The introduction of high-quality reusable packaging assets
- Pooling services so you only pay for what you use
- Enhanced tracking and transparency
- Trackable and foldable containers to optimise space and reduce customer transportation
- Industry-standard data protection.
Smaller Footprints, Bigger Targets
Unlike regular packaging, Tosca’s packaging products perform around 100 trips before the end of their life. Additionally, many of our partners save up to 25% on transportation costs due to increased cube on truck with a stronger container. And while we’re proud of how far we’ve come, we don’t plan on slowing down. In fact, alongside reducing the raw materials, water, and energy used to create assets, we are on our way to increasing recycled content in assets to over 30% by 2030. In true Tosca style, we will be totally transparent with our progress toward this goal.
At a time when sustainable action is under the magnifying glass, one of the most significant things you can do as a business is to hold yourself to account. While we vow to constantly investigate new ways to become more sustainable, our biggest promise is that we will continue to hit the targets we make for ourselves and our partners.

Partnership gives the Sheffield-based firm a springboard in the UK and US markets, says chief executive Dan Brookman
Digital loyalty specialist Airship joins Zonal after partnership leads to acquisition
by Aidan Poole
Hospitality software provider Zonal has acquired the digital loyalty firm Airship, including the Airship Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Toggle platforms.
The acquisition builds on a pre-existing relationship between the companies, who already share 100 customers that will benefit from further integration to drive visits and pre-visit revenue in the hospitality industry.
The integration will allow operators new ways to increase profits while giving consumers a smoother experience. Dan Brookman will remain as chief executive of Airship, based at the firm’s Sheffield office with his team.
Stuart McLean, chief executive of Zonal, said: “Over the last three years Zonal and Airship have enjoyed a very successful partnership and we are all very excited to welcome Dan and the team to the Zonal family.
“This move will further integrate our products and represents a huge opportunity for our customers, who will benefit from the data-driven, business-building, and revenue-driving benefits that this integration will bring.
“Teams across both businesses will be working hard to bring the benefits of this new partnership to customers old and new and we are all looking forward to building the business together.”
Brookman said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the next stage of our growth. This new partnership with Zonal gives us a springboard in the UK and US and I’m really excited to see what we can achieve together.
“Between our products and our collective integrations, we have some great tech and are committed to put our customers’ customer at the centre of that. We want to really push technology to help operators drive revenue growth.
“The flow of customer data is richer than ever, and the possibilities for personalisation, automation and revenue recognition will revolutionise hospitality marketing.”

– Due to the industrial and internet boom, Amazon needed to expand their existing 300,000 sq. ft. production line in Robbinsville, NJ.
– This project included adding 162,000 sq. ft. of new warehouse space, but the work needed to be done while Amazon operations remained open and active.
– To complete this project: temporary walls were constructed, racking and conveyor belt systems were temporarily relocated, and the existing building had to maintain constant temperature throughout.
– After the new building was constructed and conditioned, the temporary walls were removed and the interior industrial line expanded. All work was done without disrupting their 24-hour business operations during the holiday season.

We're excited to worship alongside you. Below are some tips on what to expect during your visit with us.
Worship is at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings with Education Hour (Sunday School and Bible Class) at 10:30 a.m. Sept–May. We celebrate the Sacrament of the Altar each Sunday.
WHAT TO WEAR
Many visitors wonder if they will “fit in” when they visit a congregation for the first time. At Trinity, we take to heart that God’s desire is for all people to be saved. This means that we want you to be here! It doesn’t matter what you look like or wear. We don’t have a dress code or a checklist to get in the door. When you visit, you will find people in jeans, shorts (yes, even in the middle of a Minnesota winter!), dress pants, skirts, dresses, and suits. We suggest when you visit, take a few minutes and introduce yourself to Pastor Einertson so he can get to know you better.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We worship using the historic liturgy of the church and we use the Lutheran Service Book hymnal published by Concordia Publishing House. We continue the historic practice of closed communion at Trinity. This practice is one that seeks fellowship but realizes that sin has divided the church. Where open communion overlooks these differences, we take the words of St. Paul to the Corinthians seriously about coming together united. If you have questions, or for more information, click here for the LC-MS's stance or feel free to contact Pastor Einertson.

A mighty bulwark, the Porta Claudia, was built during the Thirty Years War under the reign of Claudia di Medici and Archduke Leopold as a stronghold between Bavaria and Tirol in the border village of Scharnitz. Situated on a strategic Roman route from Germany leading south to Rome, the Porta Claudia was built to defend Tirol from northern invasion. During the Napoleonic Wars the fortress fought but gave way to an invading French force in 1805. The once mighty bulwark was largely destroyed but some vaults and an imposing ditch still remain. Some of the walls built from rubble with ashlar dressings stand to nearly full height, six meters tall.
Currently closed for renovation.

Seven Years of the Grand Challenges and the Connected Curriculum
2 October 2019
A recent report celebrates seven years of the Grand Challenges involvement with teaching at the UCL Academy
UCL's collaborative work with UCL Academy includes close ties between the Grand Challenges programme and the academy's 'Connected Curriculum'. GCSE pupils at the Academy complete a range of creative products aligned with UCL’s six Grand Challenges themes:
- Global Health
- Sustainable Cities
- Cultural Understanding
- Human Wellbeing
- Justice & Equality
- Transformative Technology
The Grand Challenges themes tackle pressing, global issues. Academy teachers work with university to make the Grand Challenges topics relevant and engaging for the academy students. Many academy students have presented the results of their work at UCL, preparing academic posters and giving talks for university staff and students.
“Feedback from UCL’s senior leadership team and Grand Challenges team on the quality of work students produced was excellent. Several students were able to articulate the importance of applying their learning to real world problems. They highly value the importance of speaking in front of real audiences.
Richard Donnelley, Director of Connecting the Curriculum and Grand Challenges, The UCL Academy.
1,440 UCL Academy Students have been exposed to Grand Challenges issues and themes since 2015 with all GCSE pupils now taking part in Grand Challenges projects.

Round 1 Men’s Rising Star Nominee: Beaumaris
The VAFA congratulates Round 1 Men’s Rising Star nominee, Jak Nardino, after he played a standout role for Beaumaris during their 50-point win over Parkdale Vultures.
What the club said:
“Jak “Bull” Nardino played his first game for Beaumaris in 2016 having played his juniors with East Sandringham and Hampton Rovers.
He started in the Under 19s and made his senior (Premier B) debut in that year, having just turned 17 years of age. In 2017 Jak was at the Sandringham Dragons playing a few games with the seniors (Premier Division) and Under 19s.
After a solid pre-season this year he has started in the seniors and is still only 18 years of age. Jak’s key attribute is his speed and his hardness at the ball.
He has based his football on Daniel Rioli. Jak is extremely quiet around the club and is known for his humility.”

The 2017 Vancouver Swordplay Symposium is just one week away! Though symposium passes are sold out, our wait list is active, and our unarmed workshops still have open slots! In addition, audit passes and gala tickets are still available.
This year’s event schedule is carefully designed so that you can dive deeply into the subjects of your choosing with as few schedule conflicts as possible.
As an example, here’s what a unarmed combat-focused schedule could look like:
In the morning, you can start with day one of Marco Quarta’s Renaissance Italian grappling intensive. After that, join David R. Packer and Kaja Sadowski for “The Salle vs. the Street, Part 1: Grappling” to see how grappling technique can vary by context. After lunch, Jessica Finley is leading the first day of her German grappling intensive, focusing on the work of the 15th century master Andre Liegnitzer.
On day two, you’ll have two opportunities to train with Marco Quarta: once in the morning for day two of the Italian grappling intensive, then again after lunch for his workshop entitled “The Heart of the Lion: Unarmed vs. Knife.” After that, you can join Jessica Finley for day two of her German grappling intensive.
On Sunday morning, you have some interesting unarmed/mixed weapon choices! For a long workshop, join Mark Mikita’s “Problem Solving and Mindset in Asymmetrical Weapon Combat”. For a shorter workshop, you can choose “Patterned vs. Unpatterned Training Methodologies” with Guro E.W., training Southeast Asian flow drills with or without a weapon. After lunch, the two grappling intensives converge into a joint Italian vs. German grappling workshop, co-instructed by Marco Quarta and Jessica Finley.
In total, VISS 2017 offers over 21 hours of unarmed combat seminars in one weekend! This is our way of approaching a new level of depth in the seminar format, all in the pursuit of mastery.

By Mik Bodnar - Business Development Senior Manager
Strategy consulting firms are facing notable shifts in workforce dynamics, shaped by evolving market demands and regional economic conditions. Recent analysis by Vencon Research highlights significant headcount trends across Germany, Japan, the UAE, the UK, and the USA, offering valuable insights for HR leaders faced with these realities.
Workforce Trends in Strategy Consulting
The consulting industry continues to grapple with tightening talent markets and rising compensation pressures. Entry-level positions have been disproportionately affected, reflecting cost containment strategies and evolving hiring priorities. At the same time, senior roles such as Principal-level positions remain in demand, suggesting a focus on leadership and specialized expertise.
Meanwhile, regional disparities have become more pronounced. While mature markets like Germany and the USA reported negligible changes in overall headcount, the UAE experienced exceptional growth, driven by strong demand for consulting services in the region.
These trends align with broader industry shifts. Hybrid work models, purpose-driven consulting, and demand for cross-functional expertise are reshaping workforce strategies in the sector. Effective talent management, including targeted upskilling and leadership development programs, has become critical for retaining top talent in an increasingly competitive market.
Findings from Vencon Research
Vencon Research's year-on-year analysis of strategy consulting firms reveals the following key trends:
- Declines in Entry-Level Roles: Analyst positions experienced the largest reductions, with headcounts decreasing by over 10% in Japan, the UK, and the USA.
- Growth in Senior Roles: Principals were the only group to show consistent headcount increases across all regions studied.
- Regional Variations:
- Minimal Changes in Germany and the USA: Overall headcounts remained relatively stable.
- Decreases in Japan and the UK: These markets saw modest declines in total headcount.
- Exceptional Growth in the UAE: Headcount increased by nearly 20%, with associate roles surging over 40%.
Implications for HR Leaders in Strategy Consulting
Current workforce trends present both challenges and opportunities for HR and business leaders in strategy consulting. As firms reassess their approaches to talent management and compensation, several key questions emerge:
- Are our workforce trends aligned with market benchmarks, or should we adjust to remain competitive?
- How can we capitalize on opportunities to attract top talent amid rising attrition at competing firms?
- What measures can optimize compensation strategies, particularly for critical senior-level roles?
Addressing these issues demands a balanced strategy—maintaining workforce stability while remaining responsive to changing economic and market conditions. For example, reductions in entry-level positions may appear manageable in the short term but could weaken the talent pipeline over time. Conversely, growth at senior levels underscores the importance of retaining and fairly compensating leadership talent while controlling costs.
Making informed decisions starts with access to accurate, market-specific data. Vencon Research provides targeted solutions to help firms act decisively. Our compensation benchmarking services deliver precise, actionable insights tailored to strategy consulting firms, enabling leaders to align pay structures with evolving market realities. By including detailed job matching as a core component, these services ensure roles are benchmarked with precision, providing a solid foundation for competitive and equitable compensation plans.
Beyond benchmarking, Vencon Research offers customized solutions to tackle unique challenges. Whether addressing talent shortages in established markets, identifying growth opportunities in high-demand regions like the UAE, or refining workforce strategies in response to economic shifts, our expertise equips firms with the tools to act with confidence.
To learn how Vencon Research can support your firm in meeting workforce and compensation challenges, visit venconresearch.com. With comprehensive insights and practical solutions, strategy consulting firms can position themselves not only to overcome today’s challenges but to strengthen their teams for long-term success.

Does temperature exist in space?
Hot things move quickly, cold things very slowly. If atoms come to a complete stop, they are at absolute zero. Space is just above that, at an average temperature of 2.7 Kelvin (about minus 455 degrees Fahrenheit) .What is the current temperature of space?
Gas between stars, as well as the solar wind, both seem to be what we call « empty space, » yet they can be more than a thousand degrees, even millions of degrees. However, there’s also what’s known as the cosmic background temperature, which is minus 455 degrees Fahrenheit .How cold it is it in space?
In fact, it doesn’t actually have a temperature at all . Temperature is a measurement of the speed at which particles are moving, and heat is how much energy the particles of an object have. So in a truly empty region space, there would be no particles and radiation, meaning there’s also no temperature.Would you freeze instantly in space?
This would not happen. Though space is typically very cold — most floating objects have a surface temperature of -454.8 degrees Fahrenheit — a person would not instantly freeze because heat does not transfer away from the body very quickly.Does water freeze in space?
Does it freeze or boil? The surprising answer is it does both: first it boils and then it freezes ! We know this because this is what used to happen when astronauts felt the call of nature while in space.Why is space cold if the sun is hot?
Space is the ultimate thermosThe sun’s radiation may travel through it, but there are no molecules or atoms to absorb that heat . Even when a rock is heated above 100°C by the sun’s radiation, the space around it will not absorb any temperature because of the same reason.

Tufted angioma typically presents at birth (15% of cases) or within the first 5 years of life (50% of cases) as a violaceous plaque or nodule that may be painful. Rarely, it presents later in childhood or in early adulthood. There may be a slight male predominance.
After an initial period of growth, the tumor stabilizes and usually persists; in some patients, it may spontaneously, partially, or completely regress.
Three clinical patterns have been described: tufted angioma without complications, tufted angioma complicated with chronic coagulopathy without thrombocytopenia, and tufted angioma associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). KMP is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an enlarging vascular lesion, profound thrombocytopenia, consumptive coagulopathy, and often a microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.

With a unique perspective on life and the way he showed a talent for effectively using colour and light to transform mundane subject matter into something special, the expatriate painter, Jeffrey Smart has come to be considered a legend within the Australian art world, renowned for his modernist depictions of urban landscapes.
Born in Adelaide in 1921, Smart received a formal art education at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts, Adelaide and the Adelaide Teacher’s College. It was during this time of study that Smart produced images painted from careful sketches made from nature. As he worked constantly on improving on nature by creating a better composition, this began his life-long preoccupation with composition, object placement and the still image. As a consequence of this commitment and the way he elevated symbols to make nature more recognisable, Smart became recognised as painter who preceded Graphic Art.
Although Smart initially aspired to be an architect, he went on to be an art teacher working for the South Australian Education Department from 1942-1947. Some of these schools he taught at include the South Australian School of Art , the King’s School, Sydney and the East Sydney Technical School. It was during his time as a teacher that Smart also came to realise his own homosexuality which later prompted his 1996 autobiography, “Not Quite Straight”.
Continuing his art education abroad, Smart went on to study in Paris at the Academie Montmartre and La Grande Chaumiere in 1949. After working as an art critic for the Daily Telegraph in 1954-1955, he began to frequently exhibit his work in 1957 and receive notable recognition from the art world. This was well-reflected when London’s Tate Gallery included his surrealist paintings in their exhibition of Australian Art in 1962.
In 1965 Smart moved to Italy where he bought a restored eighteenth-century farmhouse in Posticcia Nuova, near Arezzo in 1971. This is where the artist still resides. Many critics argue that despite Smart’s move to Italy, there still remains a distinct Australian sense of humour in his work which can be seen in the way he follows the strict compositional rules of painting to create a highly ambiguous and often surreal settings.
Often using his work to depict industrial urban landscapes, the influence of the idyllic environment surrounding Smart’s Tuscan villa rarely makes its presence known in his art. Despite the artist’s refusal to the claim, many critics argue that this reflects Smart’s position as a social critic deploring the dehumanized and denatured cities of modern experience.
Today the work of Jeffrey Smart is represented by Australian State Galleries in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and the Yale University collection, USA. His work is regularly for sale via art auction being a favourite of many art investors. See: Jeffrey Smart Exhibitions, Art Auctions or Investment Art Consultants.

Are you going to write or draw on a surface other than paper, do you want your drawings to remain intact over time and resist liquids such as water or certain toxic substances? In that case, you will need a permanent marker. To write on a CD, to personalize your clothes, to mark tupperware that you are going to freeze, to make an endless number of crafts on different surfaces... Indelible markers have a lot of utilities.
Advantages of indelible markers? There are many of them. They allow writing on any type of surface, from a piece of clothing to a rock; they are resistant to liquids, light and toxic substances such as xylene; their ink remains intact and completely legible for a long time etc. We could list many more advantages of permanent markers, but these are the most important and relevant if you are thinking of getting one.
We recommend that, before buying your permanent markers, you have clear what you are going to use them for, how you want the line to be to select the appropriate tip thickness and in what color you want them. Once you have this clear, it will be much easier to choose the option that best suits your needs.
The number of stationery brands that have permanent markers in their catalogs is very high. However, at Webcartridge we want to highlight two: Edding and Staedtler. Both are brands with extensive experience in the world of stationery and all their products have the highest quality and maximum guarantees. The most popular and the ones we are most used to seeing are Edding permanent markers. Their classic and iconic design that has remained intact over the years is one of the main reasons. In our online store we have them available in several different colors and tip thicknesses. As for the Staedtler brand permanent markers, these stand out for having a much finer tip than the previous ones, although you can choose from several different thicknesses.
Are you worried about the price? You don't have to be! Webcartridge is the cheapest online store on the market. Buy here your permanent markers at the best price.

The first thing you see when you get to Biggo’s front page is that they have three primary options for creating websites: a simple business card site, a slightly more complex corporate website, and an e-commerce site. Biggo aims to minimize the frustration stemming from the installation and maintenance of a website, by presenting users with a fully installed and pre-configured CMS (Content Management System) hosted and managed on their servers. In other words, rather than having to find the best host, register a domain, decide on a suitable CMS, and then study the documentation to figure out how to configure and maintain it, Biggo does pretty much everything for you. This makes setting up your website or online store a much simpler affair. Setup can be completed in a matter of minutes, with step-by-step guides available in Biggo’s Reference section.
Biggo’s most affordable option is the simple business card site, which comes with one custom domain e-mail, a database of stock photos, a photo gallery creator, and one gig of space – more than enough to display your basic corporate information. Moving on, we have the corporate plan that offers more advanced features such as a blog and news section, FTP access, and 10 email accounts. Additionally, there’s the online store plan which includes convenient 1-click purchasing options, product comparison tools, SMS notifications, and secure checkout and payment integration.

A flea market is an open-air market with stalls that sell secondhand or old assets at a low price. In some areas, a flea market sells old furniture or antiques. In others, it is an outdoor store that sells old things at a discount.
Despite how the term’s meaning may vary, it is an outdoor market that sells cheap stuff in most cases. Sometimes, the market may have an indoor location, such as a community hall, etc.
In some flea markets, an entry fee or access is required. As with most marketplaces, those companies commercialize, many flea markets today also sell baked goods and local farm products. You can select your area, and with Google’s help, you can find a ‘flea market near me’ to buy something.
What do these markets offer?
- The offer is unique, secondhand, and often vintage items: Clothing, decorative items, retro furniture, household items like typewriters, crockery, etc.
- It has an endless array of products that offer a more sustainable way to use, based on recycling and preserving money.
- The interest is mainly from modern people seeking originality at a low price.
Where can you find markets like this?
Saving cash is something that most, if not all, of us love to do. The thought of understanding that you are getting the best deal is such a fantastic feeling; it becomes almost an obsession. Flea markets are one of the more popular places that people appreciate going to make sure they can reach that dollar as much as possible. If you love the experience of escaping the big-city purchasing vibe, then you have got to check out great flea markets in the United States. Flea Markets have become a modern trend, so almost every big city has one or more. Search for them online and enjoy your time.
Do’s and Don’ts of a flea market:
- Do go early at the flea market for the best match. Stop by once again at the end of the last day to get the most significant discounts.
- Do get a plan of the flea market if there’s one accessible.
- Do keep your money in a front pocket or a cross-body purse positioned in front. Flea markets get crowded, and you’ll get hit from time to time.
- Do make sure to wear comfortable strolling shoes, or your feet will be aching by the end of the day.
- Don’t expect huge discounts on the starting day of the flea market. You may get some value, but dealers save enormous deals for the end of the last day.
- Don’t stick to the item if you’re not serious about buying. When you get an item you can’t live without, the retailer assumes you’re not serious, and he or she is tired of spending time.
- Don’t go away from an article you have to have. If you like it and don’t buy it then, it might get sold when you come back.
So, go ahead with your idea of visiting the nearest flea market. Enjoy the quality time with your friends and family. Happy shopping!

Surnames/tags: Rulkens Reulkens Rulkes
About the Project
The Rulkens Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Rulkens name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Rulkens name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Rulkens's), by time period (18th Century Rulkens's), or by topic (Rulkens DNA, Rulkens Occupations, Rulkens Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.
How to Join
To join the Rulkens Name Study, first start out by browsing our current research pages to see if there is a specific study ongoing that fits your interests. If so, feel free to add your name to the Membership list below, post an introduction comment on the specific team page, and then dive right in!
Once you are ready to go, you can also show your project affiliation with the ONS Member Sticker:
Rulkens seems to be a patronymic for the first name Roel.
The earliest records of Rulkens appears to be the christening registration of Jacobus Rulkens in Vlodrop on 05 Jul 1653.
There were various spellings of this surname. People with variations of this surname were mostly located in Limburg, Netherlands with concentrations around Vlodrop and around Linne/Maasbracht. This study is an attempt to find and document these families from the 17th to the 20th century. A further objective is to identify, where possible, how these various families connect.
Here are some of the current research pages included in the study. I'll be working on finding more information, and could use your help!

Facebook on Tuesday released the first maps of the COVID-19 symptoms people have self-reported experiencing county-by-county across the U.S., based on aggregate data from the opt-in Facebook survey that was conducted with researchers at Carnegie Mellon.
“Understanding how COVID-19 is spreading is critical for local governments and public health officials as they allocate scarce resources like ventilators and PPE, and eventually to decide when it is safe to start re-opening different places,” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO at Facebook. “Researchers believe these symptom survey maps can be an important tool in making these decisions. I've always believed that helping people come together as a community will help us address our greatest challenges – not just by sharing our experiences and supporting each other in crises, but also by working together at scale to solve problems. The world has faced pandemics before, but this time we have a new superpower: the ability to gather and share data for good. If we use it responsibly, I'm optimistic that data can help the world respond to this health crisis and get us started on the road to recovery.”
Facebook recently started offering an opt-in symptom survey prompt at the top of U.S. users homepages. The survey, being run by health researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, asked people if they have symptoms such as fevers, coughing, shortness of breath or loss of smell that are associated with COVID-19. Since experiencing symptoms is a precursor to becoming more seriously ill, this survey can help forecast how many cases hospitals will see in the days ahead and provide an early indicator of where the outbreak is growing and where the curve is being successfully flattened.
The survey responses are sent to the researchers and aren't accessible to Facebook.
This is the link to the symptom survey results that one can search for New York results https://covid-survey.dataforgood.fb.com. This is the initial survey data, but more people will have the option of sharing information to support the larger cause.

We have a period apartment next to a loud road with lovely old sash windows. We consulted with two “double glazing” companies whose only solution was to completely rip out the old timber windows which we loved and replace with PVC alternatives which didn’t suit the apartment at all. Mr Sash Cord was the complete opposite, he worked with us to professionally and creatively fit new double glazing glass to the old timber windows. The end result is amazing, hard to tell that we’ve even had new windows installed which was 100% what we were after. You can instantly feel the difference in the rooms now, quieter and more removed from the road. Would highly recommend! Thanks Greg!
Felix, St Kilda

The guys at Bathtime Bathrooms did a great job on our master ensuite. The whole process was slick from starting consultation to finish. Simple and easy to deal with the two main suppliers we used and we are super happy with the finished product. All trades were highly skilled and took a lot of pride in their work, leaving our home clean and tidy every day before they left. Special thanks to Tony and Luke for managing the project for us.

PITTSBURGH — The person who drove a car up to the back gate of the FBI’s office in Pittsburgh’s South Side and left it there has been found, authorities said Friday.
“He voluntarily turned himself in to the FBI this morning and appears to be suffering from an unknown mental illness,” an FBI Pittsburgh spokesperson said in a statement.
A bomb squad was called, and FBI agents worked with Pittsburgh police on the investigation into the incident, which was reported shortly before 5 a.m. Thursday.
The car, which was parked in front of a gate to an entrance behind the building, had writing on the driver’s side. It said: “Russia plants micro radio devices in ppls ears and controls them using a sound similar to a dog whistle. Subliminal hypnosis.”
THE MESSAGE ON THE CAR: “RUSSIA PLANTS MICRORADIO DEVICES IN PPLS EARS & CONTROLS THEM USING A SOUND SIMILAR TO A DOG WHISTLE. SUBLIMINAL HYPNOSIS.”
— Mike Holden (@WPXIMikeHolden) October 31, 2019
My photographer @pishotti captured this shot of the side of the car at the FBI gate. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/fedQMn5JCb
Investigators and a K-9 first searched around the car. Once the bomb squad arrived at the scene, a robot was used to inspect the car.
After the bomb squad cleared the car, it was towed from the scene for evidence.
Channel 11 News confirmed the driver was seen on surveillance parking the brightly colored vehicle before walking away toward East Carson Street.
East Carson Street remained open throughout the investigation.
FBI officials said out of an abundance of caution, the nearby Steelers’ UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Propel Schools Administrative Offices and Center for Victims were notified to the situation.

Get Your Head in the Cloud with 100G Gearbox Solutions with the MoSys LineSpeed™ Flex PHY
Thursday October 24, 2019By Scott Irwin, Vice President, LineSpeed Products, MoSys, Inc.
Worldwide shipments and revenue for 100Gb Ethernet switches have been growing rapidly, reaching 3.8M ports and $1.1B revenue for Q4, 2018, according to IDC. This has been driven by accelerated adoption in cloud datacenter and large enterprise markets. This trend can also be seen echoed in the growth of 100G optical transceiver modules used to interconnect switching, routing, computing, and other equipment. In support of these trends, a range of 100G optical module types have been created through standards development organizations (SDOs) and Multi-Source Agreement (MSAs) to meet various reach, cost, and other market requirements.
The latest of these optical module standards now require Reed Solomon – Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC) encoding to extend the reach and/or reliability of these 100G optical links. This RS-FEC encoding, as defined by the IEEE in 802.3bj, is applied to the 4x25G interfaces commonly used to connect these 100GE optical modules, such as QSFP28 pluggable modules. Unfortunately, this RS-FEC encoding cannot be applied at the original 10x10G signaling interfaces used in earlier 100GE standards and is incompatible with the 10x10G-to-4x25G “Gearbox” function as defined in IEEE 802.3ba. This makes it difficult to utilize FPGAs with lower-speed SerDes (10-11G) to implement the latest 100GE interfaces.
The MoSys MSH320 Gearbox, device with optional RS-FEC encode/decode, allows a lower-cost FPGA with 10-11G SerDes to interface to all QSFP28-based optics. This solution can support 100G optical modules with either non-FEC (e.g. LR4) or FEC-based (e.g. SR4, CWDM4, PSM4, etc.) standards. And with 10G Retimer functionality, this same device can also support backward compatibility to 40G (4x10G) pluggable modules in the same port.
Features and benefits of the MSH320 Gearbox device include:
The MSH320, coupled with a low-cost FPGA, is the perfect solution for your QSFP28-based interface. A single footprint can support both FEC and non-FEC 100G modules, along with backward-compatible support to 40G modules.
If you are looking for more technical information or would like to discuss your design issues with an expert, we are happy to help. Email us and we will arrange to have one of our technical specialists speak with you. You can also sign up for our newsletter or request a quote from sales.

The DOCAT: an instrument for formation
The movement of formation in Social Doctrine has had its beginning in the workshops that were given during the previous days in the USMA Universidad Católica Santa María la Antigua where more than 35 leaders coming from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Panama, United States were trained with the DOCAT to be ambassadors and missionaries of the Social Doctrine during and after the WYD.
Thousands of pilgrims signed their promise to start DOCAT study groups at the stand of the Vocation Fair that DOCAT maintained every day, staffed by volunteers from different countries. The first to sign was the Archbishop of Panama himself who also put his name on the wall of the DOCAT promises. It can be said that the DOCAT has already flooded WYD and that the young pilgrims have received this gift from the Pope as the best motivation to make this dream of the Holy Father come true.

The 2004 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte was the winning bottle in the January Installment of Pick My Next Bottle. The wine was decanted for one hour and served with steaks.
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte has a history in Bordeaux that dates back over 800 years. The estate started out life as part of the Du Boscq holdings in the Graves region. It was Du Boscq who planted vines in 1365 on a gravelly plateau called Lafitte. This attributed to a portion of the Chateau’s name. Jumping ahead a almost four hundred years, George Smith bought the Graves estate in 1720. Smith added his name to the property which we now know of as Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte. Today, Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte is owned and managed by Daniel and Florence Cathiard. The Cathiard’s purchased the the winery and estate in 1990 from well known Bordeaux negociant Louis Eschenauer.
Dark maroon in color. 13% ABV. Fantastic nose of red fruits, smoke, leather and graphite. Rich and elegant with tons of structure. More full bodied than expected with prominent tannins. Cherries, currants, tobacco and cassis on the palate. The finish is tremendous. This wine is drinking beautifully right now and should continue to do so for another 5-7 years.
My rating: 92 points.
The 2012 version of this wine is widely available for $75 and should be on every Bordeaux lovers shopping list. More broadly wines from the 2004 vintage of Bordeaux can be picked up at a discount to recent vintages like 2009 and 2010 and represent a great value in today’s market.

Meet One of the Oldest Black Farmers in the American South
Dori Sanders’ 250 acres has been in the family for more than 100 years
Tucked away on a single-lane stretch of Filbert Highway in Filbert, South Carolina, lies one of the oldest Black-owned farms in the South. Almost every Friday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you’ll find Ms. Dori Sanders sitting out under the aging roadside peach stand at Sanders Farm.
When you see Sanders, who is 85, you’ll be instantly amazed to know that she is still physically able to farm land and actively engage in the selling of her produce. While she’s very lively, she’s a petite woman, mostly due to aging. She spends most of the day sitting in a chair under the shaded part of her stand.
The South Carolina farmer still cranks up her tractors each season to ride over the more than 250 acres of land she owns, along with her brother Orestus.
The farm has been in the family for more than a century. Dori’s father, Marion Sanders, set out to own his own land in 1915.
For years, Marion’s family sharecropped for a South Carolina landowner. According to an adaption of an address given by Dori Sanders at the 2004 Southern Foodways Alliance annual symposium, sharecropping was a harsh way of life for her father. Her…

After setting multiple records during its syndicated run, CBS has confirmed season 2's premiere date on the network. The saga of the Dutton family as they fight to defend their massive Montana property against encroaching developers and the bordering Broken Rock Indian Reservation has been a smash hit for the Paramount Network since its 2018 review, overcoming early mixed reviews to deliver better-received subsequent seasons and setting multiple viewership records. In addition to the upcoming season 5 part 2, of spinoffs including and , the latter of which has a season 2 in development.
Ahead of the season 1 finale airing on the network,
has officially confirmed season 2's premiere date. The episode, entitled "A Thundering", is set to release on Sunday, October 29 at 9 p.m. EST. Part 2 of the season 1 finale, entitled "The Unraveling", is currently scheduled to air on CBS on Sunday, October 22 in the same time slot as its upcoming successor.Though an unequivocal hit for the studio, 's CBS syndicated run was originally cited as being part of the network's efforts to fill its Fall 2023 schedule with programming in the wake of the writers and actors strikes keeping any new episodes of such hit shows as
and from being produced. The Writers Guild of America did successfully come to a close in October as the organization was met with a fair deal from the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP), but as multiple attempts to negotiate a new contract have stalled between the studios and the group.Even if SAG-AFTRA were to reach a deal by the end of October, reports throughout the strikes have indicated that new seasons of major shows would be truncated, featuring far fewer episodes than their normal counts. This would go a long way into ensuring they could return for the Spring 2024 release calendar on major networks, but wouldn't guarantee every show's production.
Given has five-and-a-half seasons already produced and having released on its home channel of the Paramount Network, it seems conceivable that CBS could look to fill their calendar with the remaining 28 episodes of the neo-Western drama.The other element working in 's long-term syndication chances on CBS is the success it's already enjoyed on the network. The syndicated season 1 premiere drew in over 6.6 million viewers on the network, a 132% increase from its original premiere on the Paramount Network, with a subsequent analysis revealing half of the audience had never seen the show before. While it's unclear whether the show's season 2 CBS premiere will be met with the same level of success, the high anticipation for amid its hiatus and Kevin Costner BTS drama may continue to draw in those wanting to revisit their favorite show.

PizzaDAO is sponsoring more than 100 local pizzerias from 75 countries to give away free pizza to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22.
PizzaDAO will use the revenue from its Rare Pizzas project to fund the event. The Rare Pizzas collection includes 10,000 generative baked pizza NFTs created by more than 300 topping artists worldwide.
PizzaDAO’s biggest supporters, Cheech and Chong, Seth Green, Steve Aoki, and 13-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani, are also amongst the many who join and promote the event. The event will also raise funds for several charities.
Gemignani commented on the event and said:
“Working with PizzaDAO has been such a great collaboration and we are looking forward to helping to pizza the planet on 5/22/22! I love that the pizza can help so many people – charity, hospitals, firefighters, or just your neighbour…. everyone loves pizza and we are happy to be involved.”
The world’s largest pizza party will take place in popular spots in London, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, the streets of New York in Little Italy, the San Francisco Temple Nightclub, and the 99th floor of the Willis Tower.
PizzaDAO was established in February 2021 with the idea that pizza should be free and accessible to all. The project leverages Web3 tools that bring capital and provide inclusion to support independent businesses, especially local pizzerias, to help them scale up.
Snax, the founder of PizzaDAO, said:
“We want to change the world by using blockchain to enable community ownership of small businesses. Just like Bitcoin introduced a societal shift in the way humans collaborate, trade and prove ownership, PizzaDAO aims to empower small businesses to grow by bringing pizzerias on-chain, raising funds to give pizza away for free, and building strong locally-focused communities around the world,”
The project has over 400 pizzerias in its network and has spent more than $400 thousand providing free pizza since its establishment.
Bitcoin Pizza Day
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on MayMarch 22, to commemorate Laszlo Hanyecz, who paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two large pizzas in 2010.
Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, was an early Bitcoin miner. On May 18, he posted on a forum and offered 10,000 Bitcoins in exchange for two large pizzas. His offer didn’t receive any responses until May 22. Even though someone pointed out that 10,000 Bitcoins were worth $41, which was too much for two large pizzas, Hanyecz still followed up with his offer and bought two large pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoin.
Even though Hanyecz issued the first Bitcoin payment in history as we know of, the amount he paid equals around $290 million, even after the recent market fall.

The name of the problem is "The (stupid) base" :D
I used the decal paper on the base and everything was looking nice, until I sealed it with Future. After Future, I got a very uneven surface with glares. I tried to even out the top coat, but only managed to sand off the decal :(
After unsuccessful repairs, I started from the beginning. Only this time I am just using plain white printed copy of the circle. Right now its drying.
Hopefully I can take the pictures of complete kit very soon.

Income managing can be overwhelming, but a suitable financial plan can turn it into a fun activity. Tony Amaradio, financial expert, says that the right budget plan should concentrate on long term objectives. Prosperity starts with smart and well-defined strategies that require changing your lifestyle and reshaping habits to ensure financial security of your family.
In the digital era, many aspects of life, including wealth management, have become revolutionized, in large part due to technological advancements. Numerous online banking services and mobile applications easily downloadable from internet help in tracking personal spending right from your home. Once you master the art of budgeting, next step is to reduce the overhead costs. As it may be difficult to immediately change your lifestyle, Amaradio suggests training yourself to gradually eliminate unnecessary expenses from your budget. The easiest way of carving out the ability to save can be a seemingly small thing, such as bringing your lunch box and snacks to work or cooking an evening meal at home instead of regularly dining out at expensive restaurants. Another way of adding to your monthly savings is to develop a habit of paying for your purchases in cash rather than using a credit card. Research shows that people spend more when they pay from their credit accounts and, instead, purchase less when they use cash or a debit card.
Building capital for your future comes with maturity and reasonability, and the earlier you start to develop these qualities the better. The strategic financial expert recognizes that people who learn the value of money during their formative years become more successful in their adulthood. To achieve this, Tony Amaradio advises to use a fun and easy way of teaching kids how to save– the envelope system. By putting cash in an envelope children learn concepts of cash resources and managing their personal funds. Understanding your potential and being aware of your limits is the best ground for deciding how much you would like or need to put on reserve. Setting a goal might be inspirational and realization that you are saving toward something as small as a new Lego set for your kid or as grandiose as buying a home would undoubtedly be an incentive worth targeting. Last, but not least, upon the receipt of your monthly paychecks or bonus take a portion of it right off and invest that amount into your future savings reserve. Studies suggest that people who are good at financial planning and take actions to save money feel happier and better about their life than those who do not manage funds.
Tony Amaradio is an acclaimed economic advisor and visionary philanthropist who oversees two major companies, Select Portfolio Management Inc. and Select Money Management, Inc. Committed to helping others to succeed, he has supported thousands of people by teaching them how to plan, build, and preserve profitable assets through his landmark wealth-management strategies and tactics. Author of an inspirational book on the art of giving, which he wrote together with his wife Carin, he was formerly the host of a daily radio show “Market Talk” that aired in Southern California for over 20 years. Today, the inspirational financial expert travels around the United States to educate people about optimizing charitable donation techniques and money management.

I also wanted to go to the track a little more fresh and rested today than I have been just to see how that worked out for me. Overall, maybe a touch faster, definitely more consistent. One mile warmup, 6x200m with 200m RBI then a one mile cool down. 38, 37, 36, 37, 37, 36. To be honest, that fourth one hurt! It really is getting dark in a hurry now. I got to the track earlier than usual and it seemed like the sun was already behind the mountains when I was done.
Going up to FOCO tomorrow and I am really looking forward to that. I would like to get in a longish run this weekend on Saturday, maybe Mt. Rosa if anyone is interested. Sunday I think that I will do a multi-hour bike ride.
I love Halloween! I can't count how many things are "right" with this picture. I just can't! |

When implementing a CCTV system (e.g. one based around our macOS CCTV software SecuritySpy) it is important for all cameras to maintain the correct time for the purposes of drawing accurate timestamps onto their video streams. Not only will this help you review recorded footage, but if there is an incident that needs to be reported to the police, it will help them with their investigation. You may even be asked to verify or demonstrate to the police that your cameras are set to the correct time.
For this purpose, you should always give your cameras a valid NTP server address (NTP stands for Network Time Protocol). The cameras will contact the NTP server at regular intervals to set their clocks (you should also set your cameras with accurate daylight savings time settings, so that any such adjustments are applied automatically during the summer months).
For this purpose, we recommend using one of the time servers that Apple provides for free, which are time.apple.com, time.euro.apple.com and time.asia.apple.com. Continue reading

Now, therefore, give pledges - Margin, ‹Hostages.‘ The Hebrew verb (ערב ‛ârab ) means properly to mix or mingle; then, to exchange commodities by barter or traffic; then, to become surety for anyone, to exchange with him, to stand in his place; then, to pledge, to pledge one‘s life, or to give security of any kind. Here it is used in a spirit of taunting or derision, and is equivalent to what would be said among us, ‹I will bet you, or I will lay a wager, that if we should give you only two thousand horses, you could not find men enough to ride them, or men that had knowledge of horsemanship enough to guide them.‘ There was much severity in this taunt. The Jews hoped to defend themselves. Yet here was an immense army coming up to lay siege against them. What hope had they of defense? So weak and feeble were they, that Rabshakeh said they could not furnish even two thousand horsemen to resist all the host of the Assyrians. There was also, doubtless, much truth in this taunt. It was not permitted by the law of Moses for the Jews to keep cavalry, nor for their kings to multiply horses. The reason of this may be seen in the notes at Isaiah 2:7. Though some of the kings, and especially Solomon, had disregarded this law of Moses, yet Hezekiah had endeavored to restore the observance of the law, and it is probable that he find no cavalry, and that the art of horsemanship was little known in Jerusalem. As the Assyrians prided themselves on their cavalry, they consequently looked with contempt on a people who were destitute of this means of defense.

National plans for energy and transport show Europe is set to increase significantly biofuel use. By 2020, biofuels will provide 9.5% of total energy in transport; 92% of these fuels will come from food crops (such as oil seeds, palm oil, sugar cane, sugar beet, wheat).
This will require an expansion of cultivated agricultural land globally, converting forests, grasslands and peat lands into crop fields. Up to 69 000 km2 will be affected – an area over twice the size of Belgium.
Total net GHG emissions from biofuels could be as much as 56 million tonnes of extra CO2 per year, the equivalent of an extra 12 to 26 million cars on Europe’s roads by 2020. This means that instead of being 35 to 50% less polluting than fossil fuels (as required by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED)), once land use impacts are included, the extra biofuels that will come to the EU market will be on average 81% to 167% worse for the climate than fossil fuels.
Warwick Business School, MSc Business Analytics and Consulting – October 2010.
This study analyses the influence of UK Energy Security and Peak Oil as drivers
impacting on Warwickshire County Council (WCC) activities. The questions addressed by the study are what UK Energy Security and Peak Oil are all about, why they matter, how they impact on WCC, and what the authority’s next steps should be.
Our results show that WCC Services are affected by these threats through increased costs, changes in demand, impacts on staff, and possibly shortages. Some areas are more severely affected than others and the nature of the impact varies, but all of the areas analysed are exposed to these risks in some way.
A cadre of international experts contributed to this book to provide a truly global perspective on the dangers inherent in our over-consumption of oil, gas and coal. Without fossil fuels, mass-produced food and clothing, international travel, cars, and many more things become rare or impossible. The authors provide details of the problem for a variety of countries, including the US and China, as well as those in Europe and the developing world.

When I think about the way God loves us I am often amazed, and the worldly part of me thinks God must be crazy to love me. We can all be so ungrateful and undeserving of God’s love and providence, but He still offers it.
Some of the parables speak of the “crazy” side of God’s love, There is the parable of the woman who lost a small coin and, after finding it, she threw a party that cost many times the value of the coin she found (Luke 15:8-10). Crazy huh? Well Jesus is teaching about God’s Kingdom love for us, it is extravagant, beyond all reasonable bounds.
Then there’s the parable of the Man with two sons (Luke 15:11-32). One of his sons tells him to drop dead and wants his inheritance now. He gives it to him! Crazy! Off the son goes and messes up big time. He sinks so low he starts to admire how well pigs eat. Upon his return to the father he had told to drop dead, he expects wrath, but he gets embraced and the Father throws a party. Crazy huh?
But the story does not end there. The second son, offended at the party, now cops an attitude and insults his father by refusing to enter the party! Instead of sending servants out to force him in, the father himself goes out and pleads with his son who continues to dishonor him with bitter rebukes as to his leadership! What a crazy Father! He seems to love his son anyway. What father in the ancient world would ever plead with his son, it just wasn’t done. But Jesus is teaching again of his Father’s “crazy” love for us.
And Jesus is crazy too. He actually chooses to die for us, not because we are good, but because we are bad. We, having run his wrists and feet through with railroad spikes hear his prayers of mercy for us. And who would have excused him if, after dying, he just went right back to heaven and said, “Father, I’ve had it with them I’m coming home!” But instead he rose and said “Peace be with you” to men who had abandoned him.
Crazy. Just crazy.
It is clear that God loves us in a crazy sort of way. But thank the Lord his craziness is to our advantage.
Disclaimer: To the pious who may take offense at me calling God “crazy” let me remind that I am here echoing an astonishment from a worldly point of view and not asserting that God is actually crazy or unreasonable. You might say I am taking up the voice of the world for the sake of illustration.
“Ah” but you might say, “what about the souls in Hell?!” I say to you he loves them still! They do not want to live in the Kingdom with him and he respects their freedom in that regard. But have you noticed, he doesn’t wipe them out or annihilate them? They still exist, in an unpleasant place, but a place of their choice. Surely God regrets their choice, but, respecting their freedom, God still sustains and provides for them. Even Satan is not killed by God. Crazy!
So face it, God loves you. He even likes you! Not because you deserve it, you don’t. Neither do I. God loves you and me “for no good reason.” He loves because He is love and that’s what love does. To think that we could lose God’s love is actually a sign of pride since we think that somehow we have the power to make God stop being what he is, Love. I know full well that God does not love my sin but I do not doubt that he loves me…for no good reason, for no explainable reason other than he is Love and that’s what love does, it loves.
Now I hope You’ll find this video as much of a blessing as I do. I suppose that the closest example of unconditional love we have on this planet is a mother’s love for her children. Behold and be blessed: Shirley Caesar’s “No Charge.”

I received a request to read/review 'Beyond Belief' by Helen Smith around Christmas holidays last year. As of January 28th the book has become available in paperback, audio and ebook editions and I am happy to write in that this latest addition to the Emily Castles Mystery series, is just as light-hearted and engaging as ever.
This time, Emily Castles lands a gig with the Royal Society for the Exploration of Science and Culture to attend their annual conference being held in Torquay entitled 'Belief and Beyond'. The society will have for the first time in its history, extended the invitation to mediums, hypnotists and psychics. Emily's mission? Hired by the society's current president Gerald Ayode, she is there to investigate the possible threat to the conference's main attraction and 'super star' Edmund Zenon who is offering a £50,000 reward to anyone who can prove the existence of the paranormal. A well-known rationalist, he is not only a TV celebrity hoping to plug his book at the conference but his tour is aptly entitled 'Don't Believe the Hype'. Quite an inflammatory title at a conference that specialises in nothing but the paranormal.
The setting for the novel is The Seaview Hotel in Torquay aptly named for its location. It is in the waters of Torquay that Zenon has promised his audience, who are gathering in this seaside village from near and far, the most amazing gig on Earth: he will walk on water. And so enter a wide range of amusing (the colonel) and the not so amusing (Madame Nova) and even sinister characters who are all hoping to witness the moment Zenon delivers on his promise.
By now readers of Helen Smith will be expecting a diverse list of eccentric characters and she does not fail to deliver. There is never a dull moment as the characters battle each other for attention. There is murder, fortune-telling, a prophecy, and a very memorable baptism scene. And, of course, there is philosophy professor, Dr. Muriel Crowther, who is like the 'Watson' to our female 'Sherlock'.
Helen Smith's 'Beyond Belief', a whodunnit in all sense of the word, touches upon sensitive, humane issues such as ordinary people's need for the paranormal and the reason people feed into the hype of fortune tellers, psychics, and mediums. It also highlights how wrong it could all go and how easily some take advantage to prey and exploit people's vulnerabilities at a time of loss, bereavement and loneliness. It highlights how people's fears, anxieties, hopes and dreams are feeding an industry, whether authentic in its claims or not, that is constantly expanding and that is proving hard to ignore.
Finally, let me tell you why I like Helen Smith and why you should read her books. It's simple: Helen Smith is an author who listens to her readers. When those readers loved Emily Castles from the word go and asked to know more about her, Helen Smith was listening. In 'Beyond Belief' she creates settings that allow her main character the opportunity to connect with the reader. We glimpse a more intimate, possibly romantic side to Emily that was lacking in the previous book. I do believe she has a lot of growing up to do as a character and I do think there is more to her than the author is letting on. And best of all? Emily's a South London girl. Enough said!

While I was on retreat with my quilt guild, the Quilters Guild of Brooklyn, this past weekend I got started on the modern sampler quilt I've been meaning to make from this year's Block Lotto patterns. I ended up having only 1 1/2 days to sew, so I was only able to finish 2 months worth of blocks: double chevrons and beads on a string. I took a photo of them up on the design wall to show my progress, and as you can see I'm going with blue-and-white fabric and trying to stick with bright modern colors.
The project attracted some interest from my fellow quilters, who don't tend to make many "modern" quilts. The Brooklyn Quilters are a great group, and I'm proud to be a member.

A successful scan is one that begins and ends on time. Preparation and planning are key.
Assuming all of that is ready the day of the scan should go smoothly if you follow these
Arrive ~20 mins early with your participant and make sure the following are completed
your scan time starts:
- Register them on the CFMI website with a UNIQUE ID*. You may only register participants only using a CFMI
computer. No other computer will be able to access the subject registration page.
- Have participant fill out safety screener.
- First-screen them**--the more carefully you complete this step, the faster we can double screen them.
- Have participants use the bathroom, get water, etc. Otherwise, this cuts into your scan time and will
likely make your scan run longer than requested, which will incur a cost to your lab; that’s a really
expensive bathroom/water break.
- Ask the participant to remove all metal--belts, jewelry, empty all pockets, remove collar stays, etc.
- 5-10 minutes before scan time, ask any CFMI RA to double screen the participant.
Only a CFMI RA or AU can do a second screen.
*What constitutes a unique ID? It should have letter identifiers that usually correspond with your
project and/or lab. Ex. LAB_BRAINZ_1005. Example of a bad ID: C01 or P01.
**Thoroughly screening your participant means making sure ALL their surgeries and previous MRI scans
are listed on the screener form. The idea is to help them search their memory and make sure they have not
forgotten that one time they broke their arm, or got that permanent retainer, etc. Also, remember a
thorough phone screen prior to the day of the scan can save everyone a lot of trouble - see
the MRI Safety Implant Screening steps.
***If your participant has any non-removable metal in/on their body (surgical or otherwise), having
it pre-approved as documented in the MRI Safety Review Form
is required! Waiting until the day of scan will cause delays and potentially result in your scan being canceled. Starting this process at least a week before your scan time is ideal. Details
on how to pre-screen a participant can be found here.

I don't know about you, but I think tea is one of the best inventions in the world.
Apparently we've been drinking it here in Britain for over 350 years. They were a little luckier in China, having enjoyed a cuppa many centuries before us. In the UK we now drink over 165 million cups a day (thank you UK Tea Council) so I think we've just about made up for those years we were deprived of what is now the nation's favourite drink.
I thought it would be nice to celebrate tea in my own little way by making a papercut featuring a tea quote and surrounded by all things related to the delicious leafy infusion.
It was quite nice to spend a couple of hours cutting out teacups, teapots and tea bags while drinking a cup or two of the wet stuff!
Here's what it looks like framed. The quote reads "A cup of tea makes everything better". Which it does!
Would you like to know how I made it? Yes? Ok.
I started by drawing out the design in reverse on the back of the card. I always make sure each element is touching or linked in some way at this point because if not it would all fall to pieces when cut.
Then comes the fun bit, getting the knife involved! (Please excuse the pants picture, it's from my phone and let's just say it's not 'top-of-the-range', but rather 'hand-me-down'!).
So then I cut it all out, which I completely forgot to take photos of, but I think you probably get the idea! I decided that, to make the letters show up better, they needed a different coloured backing. To get the backing the right size and shape I drew through the lacy papercut around the letters, took the papercut away and filled in the gaps. Probably not the most conventional way to do it but it worked.
Here's the letter backing cut out.
To stick it on I applied PVA with a cotton bud so it didn't all squish out the edges and cause a sticky mess.
Then I had the fiddly task of aligning the backing and gluing it on level.
A little while later, all the letters were backed. The main colour, a dotty green/blue, was easier to stick on as I just dabbed glue on everything, aimed it for the backing and went for it.
And now I'm off to make oaty cookies. And a cup of tea. Mustn't forget that!
I'm sharing today's post on the following lovely blogs: I Gotta Create, Rhinestone Beagle, Domesblissity, Free Pretty Things for You, Manon Popje's Illustrations, Savvy Southern Style and Seasoned Homemaker.

Why exactly does the whole world want to distance itself from the term hipster?
They seem like hipsters to me (without any added pejorative). Would that be correct?
I’m a tastemaker, right? How can I make taste if everyone’s beating me to the punch?
It was a simple statement, made on a friend’s Facebook status. “I never got what the big deal is about Nick Drake.”
Many men still feel that endless misogynistic ‘jokes’ are ultimately harmless and that everyone should just get a sense of humour.

The "Buddhist-Catholic Dialogue" was held online October 22. There were Catholic representatives Father Alexei Smith from Saint Andrew Church, Professor Michael Kerze from Los Angeles Valley College, Susana Santana from St. Vincent de Paul, Darya Jones and Robert Copollina from Loyola Marymount University, and Buddhist representatives Abbot Ven. Bhante Chao Chu from Los Angeles Buddhist Union, Rosemead, Ven. Hui Ze from Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple, Rev. Fredrick Brenion and Patrick Chou from Higashi Honganji Temple, Debra Boudreaux and Sabrina Ho from Tzu Chi Foundation. A total of 11 people attended.
At the beginning of the conversation, Father Alexei thanked Hsi Lai Temple for attending the 39th Annual Red Mass of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He said the Catholic Red Mass was to commemorate Saint Thomas More who was martyred in the 15th century to defend judicial equality. The current Red Mass is an annual blessing ceremony held for judicial personnel such as judges and lawyers. It also traditionally symbolizes the beginning of a new judicial year for the government.
Then, the convener Michael Kerze invited Father Alexei to share about the Eucharist, the Catholic Sacrament, which is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The sacrament ceremony uses bread and wine to represent the flesh and blood of Jesus, and commemorates the sacrifice of Jesus and the Passover Seder with the Twelve Apostles. The Catholic Church believes that through the consecration of the bread and wine, the entirety of the bread is transformed into the body of Christ; the entirety of the wine is transformed into the blood of Christ. Therefore, when Catholics receive the sacrament from priests, Jesus actually comes to the scene and sacrifices for the world again. Catholics must also be grateful when accepting the sacrament, so the sacrament is also called the meal of thanksgiving.
In response to Father Alexei's sharing, Ven. Hui Ze of Hsi Lai Temple said that Buddhists should adhere to the "Five Meal Contemplations" when dining. Among them, "assess the amount of work involved, weigh up the origins of the food" which means that when eating, we must be grateful for all the hard-work and support of the many who helped to bring the different foods onto our plate, and reflect upon our daily efforts. In addition, we must maintain our mindfulness when we have a meal, just as Catholics must be grateful for the sacrifice of Jesus when they receive the sacrament.
Before the end of the conversation Michael Kerze, the convener, shared he hopes to continue the sharing of ceremonies between Catholicism and Buddhism.
Ven. Hui Ze was invited to share about Buddhist repentance ritual and Father Alexei to share about Catholic confession for the next dialogue. The dialogue ended successfully, with participants looking forward to attending the next wonderful dialogue in December.

It’s not as busy as you were expecting. The halls are only patronized by the sound of your footsteps and the subaquatic chur of the ocean outside. Peeking through the tiny glass portholes, you spy delvers hard at work. This base was built over an especially rich deposit of scrap metal. If Consol is an organism, then scrap metal is what its bones are made out of, and NAVY is its central nervous system. In a sense, you are walking through the brain.
Well, one of them at least. There are hundreds of other bases just like this one, after all. You suppose that maybe Consol would have to be an organism that has multiple brains, like an octopus. But wait – those don’t have bones. Then maybe the scrap metal is the blood or something? Do octopi even have blood? You’ve never seen one bleed. You’ve never seen one outside of movies. For all you know, they are a made-up creature. You think about it for a minute as you slink through the brain-guts of the worldsea and you come to the conclusion that no, octopi probably aren’t real. They’re more akin to the uncanny monsters from black-and-white movies.
“It is a pneumatic machine that attacks you... The claw, that’s the beast that enters your flesh; the sucker, that’s you yourself who enters the beast... This dream is upon you. The tiger can only devour you; the octopus, what horror, breathes you in!”

We all need a stable job so that we can provide for our families, but sometimes it feels like we are spending all our time at work. You know the drill: a major big wig is coming in from out of town and lately you’ve been spending all your time tweaking that big proposal you’ve been working on. And even when you cross that bridge, another project will take its place.
The truth is that whether you are salaried, a shift worker, or self employed, the average person works about 47 hours per week. You’re probably eating fast food in your car or at your desk, and the workouts you used to do religiously are now few and far between.
It’s a wonder how you find the energy to crawl into your own bed at night!
Well I’m here to tell you there are ways to squeeze in mini – yet effective – workouts when stuck at work. Some require you to think outside the box, but they are possible and range from yoga workouts like core breathing and shoulder circles to stretching, chair squats and even burpees.
When you’re stuck in a cubicle working all day, I’m sure you’re willing to try anything, right?!?!
Here are 5 workouts you can do at work!
- Wall Squats – Wall squats are great because you can get them done practically anywhere, leaving you no excuses. Think about it, you’ve got your cubicle, office, hallway walls, even while leaning against the door in the bathroom! Yes, I just wrote that. But it’s so true. Even if you are dressed up in a pant suit or a dress, you can still discretely bend your knees and slide down the wall until your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Hold that for 30-60 seconds.
- Lunges – If you have an office with a door you can close for privacy, do a few rounds of lunges from your desk to the office door. If you don’t have a door, there’s a hallway somewhere. I have a nurse friend who does lunges with her team every time they have to go down a particular hallway at the hospital. Make it a habit of doing lunges to and from the water fountain.
- Take the stairs – Duh! If you work in an office with stairs, maybe those that lead to the HR department or accounting – use them! Why take the elevator when you have a perfectly functional workout area available to you? Odds are, you will be able to take the stairs in peace since everyone else will be using the elevator. You’ll reap the rewards, trust me!
- Tricep dips on your chair – You’re sitting in your chair all day. Why not use it as a workout tool. Sit on your chair, place your hands on the chair for support and walk your feet out in front until you are in a position with your thighs parallel to the floor and with your knees bent. Bend your arms at the elbow and lower your body down. You can do these all day to increase intensity.
- Chair abs – Yes, chair abs! Simply place your hands behind your head and lift one knee toward your chest as you crunch, trying to touch opposite arm to opposite knee. This move will strengthen your core.
There are plenty of other options on top of these 5 workouts you can do at work to make the most of your day. For example, if you are used to eating at your desk while working at the same time, use your legitimate lunch break – you know, the one required by law that your company provides – to sneak into a local gym for 30 minutes. You can get a lot done in that time.
Just think outside the box, and you’ll be surprised what you can accomplish.
