This weekend I’m photographing these cool kids!
I’m getting giddy about it because it’s at their farm, in their wheatfield!
We met at their house and had a nice brew to talk over the details of the day.
Apparently there are going to be lots of people at the wedding called James & Rob there, so I’ve been briefed to try one of those if I’m in doubt.
I hope I don’t forget their mum’s names.
The farm’s called windmill farm…
It’s not working any more, but you can see why they put a windmill there.
For t’is blowy indeed!
We spent most of the practice shoot hiding from the gusts!
They’re actually putting up a big ol’ marquee in their wheat field adjoining the house.
I love shooting weddings on couple’s home turf, as more often than not, the schedule runs to the couple rather than to the wedding venue’s.
We even managed to get the pooch involved and stationary for a fraction of a second!
This is Bella!
I took this not long after getting my own dog and have since learnt about holding a treat above the camera to get a bit of well behaved eye contact!
I like how Bella’s wondering what on Earth they’re up to.
They’re such a lovely couple. It turns out Emma’s mum knows my mum well, and I should probably thank mam for pimping me!
Turned out Bella loves it in front of the camera.
As it was an actual farm, it seemed wrong not to play in the stables…
…and to get the cows involved.
The windmill made a cool background of endless brick.
OY! BELLA STOP HOGGING ALL THE SHOTS!
I really like this one. It looks like something out of Country Life magazine!
I could tell from the practice shoot that they’re gonna be a breeze in front of the camera at their fun wedding. Fingers crossed the weather isn’t too much of a breeze too!

Re: The Danger In Taking A DNA Test
In Response To: Re: The Danger In Taking A DNA Test ()
Old thread, jumping in late. Sorry, 39% NA? 25% you would obviously have NA features, especially if he has no African. To me African blood may make someone very ambiguous looking (exotic). That guy knew he was not damn Black. He took the test because he doubted. Does Halle Berry need to take a test to verify if she has Black ancestry? Does Vanessa L. Williams? No.
That guy knew or rather suspected the lack of blood. I high doubt the NA results are that accurate considering most look Mongoloid.

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday told its attorneys to settle the sexual harassment lawsuit brought against it by former Assistant County Administrator Gail Wilcox for $180,000.
In exchange, they are asking Wilcox to provide a complete release of claims and dismiss her lawsuit against the county and former County Administrative Officer David Edge.
While an announcement issued by the board Tuesday night did not explicitly say that Wilcox had agreed to the settlement, county Supervisor Bruce Gibson said “we have every expectation that it will settle with those terms.”
Wilcox filed her suit last June against the supervisors and Edge, claiming she was a victim of sexual harassment, retaliation, discrimination, a hostile work environment and breach of contract.
Both Edge and Wilcox were fired after a controversy exploded over their work relationship. E-mails between the pair showed how they engaged in bantering about Wilcox’s dating, often with sexual innuendo.
On July 14, the board fired Wilcox “based on her participation in a personal relationship that conflicted with her official duties.” Supervisors did not identify the other person in the relationship.
However, on July 29, an investigative report on Wilcox — called the Robertson Report after its author — was released. It confirmed an allegedly improper relationship between Wilcox and Tony Perry of the Deputy Sheriffs Association when the two were involved in collective bargaining, Wilcox representing management and Perry the union. Perry resigned Aug. 5 as executive director of the Deputy Sheriffs Association.
In announcing the settlement, the supervisors denied any wrongdoing in firing Wilcox. They said they had “a strong, defensible case,” but going to trial would have cost more than $1 million. County Counsel Warren Jensen noted that the county had already spent $337,000.
In addition, staff time would have been diverted from other important issues, the board wrote in a news release.
Jensen said the settlement covers all claims, including Wilcox’s costs and attorneys’ fees.
Tribune Managing Editor Tad Weber contributed to this report.

Today I am sharing a card using an image I had the privilege of coloring for the Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps Nov. 1st New Release. I couldn't wait to color this image us as I had inspiration for what kind of card I would make before I had even printed the image to color. I love those AH HA moments.
This was my second attempt at a shaker card. I am still trying to get the technique down without getting sequins and glitter stuck on the foam that raises the shaker layers. But, I thought this turned out really well for a second attempt. Here is a close up of my colored image.
I colored the image with my Prismacolors using the pencils themselves as the blending agent on Canson Mi Teintes white paper.
The Merry Christmas Sentiment came from a friend of mine from a Kit and Clowder Facebook Card Swap. Let me Tell you, I am so thankful for Alyce and Kit and Clowder. I look forward to all the coloring classes and group support you get from being apart of her group!
The Challenges I am entering this card in are:
Here is the original Image colored for the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog
Thanks again for reading. I hope my card inspires you!

"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes". ~Walter M. Schirra, Sr.
Apart from reading the "What to expect" series of books I haven't read any parenting or child care books. So this time when I went book shopping I searched the parenting section and came across the book called "Raising boys" by Steve Biddulph.

JOASH (Heb. יוֹאָשׁ ,יְהוֹאָשׁ; "YHWH has given"), son of Ahaziah, king of Judah (835–798 B.C.E.). Joash ascended the throne in the seventh year of the reign of Jehu, king of Israel (II Kings 12:2), and ruled until the second year of the reign of Joash (Jehoash) of Israel (ibid., 14:1). According to II Kings 11, he was the youngest of the sons of *Ahaziah. After the death of Ahaziah, the king's mother *Athaliah had all his sons murdered; but the infant Joash was saved by Jehosheba, sister of Ahaziah and wife of *Jehoiada, the high priest (II Chron. 22:11). Joash was hidden in the Temple for six years; in the seventh year Jehoiada plotted against Athaliah, then regent, to have him crowned. He was supported in this carefully planned plot by the captains, the messengers, and the citizens. Athaliah was killed, and Joash was appointed in the Temple in a festive ceremony. (The first mention of the decisive role of the citizens (*am ha-areẓ) in the choice of the kings appears in this connection.)
The ceremony seems to have been in the nature of a renewal of the dynasty (cf. the display of King David's armament emblems and spear, II Kings 11:10; II Chron. 23:9). Accordingly, it was augmented by a joint covenant between the king and the people, in which the royal privileges and responsibilities were reestablished, and by a covenant between God, the king, and the people against the worship of Baal, which marked the beginning of religious reform in Judah. The city was cleansed of the Tyrian cult, which had taken root during Jehoram's reign and flourished during Athaliah's reign, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, was killed. It is not known if the "high places" in Judah were destroyed, but it is clear that the Temple in Jerusalem and the priesthood headed by Jehoiada gained in importance and achieved decisive influence in national affairs for the first time in the history of Judah. Later, the Temple was repaired (II Kings 12:7–17; II Chron. 24:4–14 is a later version with variations in details); the work was completed in the 23rd year of Joash's reign. (The role of the king in building and maintaining temples figures prominently in ancient royal inscriptions from Egypt and Mesopotamia.) In that same year Hazael, king of Aram, attacked Israel, reached Aphek in the Sharon Plain and *Gath, and prepared to attack Jerusalem. Joash was forced to yield to Hazael; and according to II Kings 12:19, he gave him all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the Temple and the palace, and all the votive gifts that the preceding kings had dedicated to the Temple. After this surrender, Judah entered a period of political decline. The Philistines attacked the western boundaries of Judah, and Edom attacked it from the south. (Evidently, the prophecy of Amos 1:6 refers to these events.) After the death of Jehoiada during the last years of Joash's reign, the king came into conflict with the priests. As a climax to this quarrel, according to the late narrative in II Chronicles 24, Joash commanded that Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, be stoned in the Temple courtyard. II Chronicles 24:23–24 also relates that one year later the Arameans attacked and despoiled Judah "and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus." However, the credibility of this story is very doubtful. Joash died a violent death in a conspiracy, the circumstances of which are unknown and which seems to have gained considerable support. His murderers – Jozakar (var. Jozabad), the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer (II Kings 12:21–22 [but cf. II Chronicles 24:26]) – were apparently high state officials (i.e., royal "servants"). It is of significance that they were not punished immediately. Only when *Amaziah, son of Joash, felt that he was firm on his throne did he put to death the murderers of his father. Years later, however, he too was killed in a court conspiracy (II Kings 14:19). According to II Kings 12:1 Joash reigned 40 years. But, to judge from other chronological evidence in II Kings, his reign could not have exceeded 37 or 38 years. It is still debated whether Athaliah's 6 (or 7) year usurpation of the Davidic dynasty was retroactively included by Joash in his regnal years (i.e., Joash's first regnal year was regarded in his official reckoning as his seventh). However, the synchronisms between the contemporary kings of Israel and Judah make it clear that the editor of the chronological framework of the Book of Kings regarded Athaliah's regency as an independent reign, not counting it within Joash's "40" years. Na'aman argued that the account of the temple repairs (II Kings 12) was probably based on a royal inscription. An unprovenanced tablet purporting to be the very inscription hypothesized by Na'aman, and widely publicized in the media in 2003, was shown to be a forgery (Cross).

"NZ Lofts have been wonderful since they started work in March. They are soon to complete the loft and another room, my work space, which was gutted and refurbished, must dust, but honestly, we coped during a very difficult time and we both work from home. The dust is not as bad as everyone says – it's only when they break through which they do early on so you can get up there sooner and see where you want everything. Listen to Michael, he knows what he is talking about.
We really did not want a sani flow - and luckily we didn't need one, so try for this if you can, at least ask the plumbers to do their best. The plumbers and electricians are fast and as tidy as possible, and always lovely to be around.
Michael is a good man, very fair, very organised with his team and is on site at least 2–3 times a week during the initial build. He has always been available, evenings and weekends, if we needed something, and in an emergency he works extremely fast. I cannot rate him highly enough. And you can leave the builders with keys and a cat!
I can only vouch for our builders, Russ and Dom, along with others who stepped in for other work. They were all excellent and fast. But ensure you tell Russ exactly what you want, as if you're not around and he has to make a decision he will do it without you. None of this has been a problem, but if you feel very strongly about a design/technical aspect, ensure you tell the men what you want early on. They have a lot to hold in their minds.
Get as much light (natural and other) up in the loft, and sockets – we were advised to do this by friends. We wish we'd done this years ago, but we're really glad we went with NZ Lofts. We have no complaints and only good things to say."
"This time last year I accepted a quote from NZL for two bedrooms and a bathroom to be built in the loft of our double–fronted Edwardian house in Wimbledon.
I got quotes from three loft companies before Mike. The company I considered using sent me to see two lofts they'd built with different builders. I was very impressed with the second loft which had been built to a very high standard. The couple who owned the property said they couldn't recommend the loft company but they could recommend the builder, Mike Stark. This was before he'd set up his own loft company.
I contacted Mike and asked him if I could contact another of his clients. He sent me details of several clients and I went to see a house nearby where he'd done a loft, extension and a complete refurbishment. I spent an hour looking round the whole house and the owners of the property were glowing in their praise of Mike and his team.
Having accepted Mike's quote he gave me details of an architect and she came round and took measurements. She drew up plans and dealt with planning. I was very happy with her in all respects.
I agreed with Mike that work would start on 19 August and it did. The scaffolders were a bit slow but competent and pleasant. We had decided to have a tin hat so our scaffolding was very high and it was put to the test when we had horrendous storms in the autumn. It stayed up!
Over a four month period leading up to Xmas a large number of people came and went and generally the job stayed on course. We caused a delay by prevaricating about bathroom fittings and tiles and that is one thing you need to move ahead on. I learned a few lessons about bathrooms that I'd be happy to share with you.
There was a highly competent project manager in charge of most of the work and Mike came nearly every day to keep overall control. I got quite involved in the design and decision-making process and generally maintained a presence. All the guys were efficient, respectful and competent. Mike was concerned that we were happy with the project at all times and made useful suggestions about design. He recommended that we raise a ceiling on the first floor landing, an incredibly messy job but well worth the end result and he didn't charge us extra money despite additional labour and material costs.
The site was kept clean and tidy and neighbours were treated with respect. With hindsight I would have got the loft area vacuumed each evening as I had eye irritation problems from dust that got blown around in the exceptional winds.
Mike and his team were very pleasant to deal with, responsive and responsible and took a genuine pride in their work. When the odd minor thing did go wrong they made every effort to put things right immediately.
The project was completed on time and to budget. Additional costs were electrical and plumbing. We chose to have the bathroom completely tiled and an upgraded electrical system. That sort of thing is worth getting costed earlier than we did. We spent more on the bathroom fittings than we'd intended and hadn't even thought about the cost of blinds and carpets.
We are absolutely delighted with our loft. The building surveyor who signed off the job described it as a quality job and the roofer said it was the best loft he'd worked on.
We are planning to use Mike and his team for a kitchen refurbishment that involves building work and I have no hesitation in recommending him to you."
AB, Hither Green, London
"Mike and his team completed out loft in spring 2011 and we are delighted with the results. I am a bit of a perfectionist and very house proud and was delighted with the high quality workmanship and the respect for our house during the work. We really would not hesitate to recommend Mike and think we were very lucky to get such a great team on the job
Nicola & David.
"New Zealand Lofts completed a loft development for my wife and I in the summer of 2011. I am delighted with the work they completed for us and word recommend them to others looking to have similiar projects completed."
I was particularly pleased with the high standard of work they provided across all aspects of the development. This included the main building of the loft, electricial and plumbing work, and also a range of finishing including plastering, tiling and painting. I was also very pleased with the project management including both the detailed briefing we received at the start of the project and regular reviews we had to understand work completed and the forthcoming plans and priorities."
Richard and Catrin Shaw
" We came across New Zealand Lofts London team when they took up the loft conversion assignment for our neighbours. They were very polite throughout and minimised any disturbance to us as neighbours. We were also impressed with their finished work and transparent charging, as a result we asked them to undertake our project of loft conversion, kitchen extension and refurbishment of the whole house. They did this and more in the agreed timeframe and budget. I would ask them to work with us again if we undertook any new building projects."
Mr. & Mrs Srivastava, Engadine Street, Southfields, London SW18
"I have known Michael Stark for over 7 years. During this time he has done work for me on two projects. One was a partial renovation on a flat I owned and the other was a complete renovation of a house that my husband and I bought a few years ago. The house renovation included a total gutting of the property and building an extension.
In both cases Michael was reliable, efficient, pleasant and honest. The finished work was of a high quality and he stayed within the budget that he had quoted us for. He was always willing to come back and fix anything that we were not completely satisfied with. We would be happy to work with him again and would definitely recommend him."
Yasmina and Alfred Traboulsi
"A big thank you to Mike and his team for their professionalism and dedication through out our renovation project and turning an old damp dark house in to a light and spacious family home. All of the men on Mikes team were committed to a high quality job and worked hard from the beginning to the end to meet a very challenging deadline - always with a smile. I appreciated the practical hands on approach to solving any problems that came up quickly and efficiently and I felt very informed with a range of practical solutions always close at hand.
Mike and his team always thought outside the box making suggestions about things that had been left out of the original spec but were important to the project - our home.
To the amazement of all of our friends the project came in on time and within budget and in these ever challenging economic conditions the value added has considerably exceeded the cost. I could not recommend New Zealand Lofts UK highly enough and would be very happy to expand on this recommendation verbally."

As they neared the finish line of their documentary on the iconic Rabbi Joachim Prinz, filmmakers Rachel Pasternak and Rachel Fisher had one big editorial gap to fill.
In order to finish the film — Joachim Prinz: I Shall Not Be Silent — before its world premiere on May 9 at the Berlin Jewish Film Festival, they needed one particular iconic photograph: a picture taken by a New Jersey Jewish News photographer of the rabbi with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
So the two women from Maplewood turned, as they often had before, to Linda Forgosh, executive director of the Jewish Historical Society of New Jersey.
In the JHS archives on the Aidekman campus in Whippany, Forgosh and JHS archivist Jill Hershorin located a high-quality copy of the photo, which was taken at Temple B’nai Abraham in Newark when the civil rights leader spoke there on Jan. 17, 1963.
Assistance from the JHS, along with some major donations and smaller contributions from supporters on kickstarter.com, enabled R Squared Productions — Fisher and Pasternak’s company — to purchase rights to visuals they needed to complete their work.
Their film tells the story of the German-born rabbi who resisted the Nazis in his native land, then battled racism after fleeing to America.
From his pulpit at B’nai Abraham — first in Newark and then, after 1973, in Livingston, Prinz spoke out against racial discrimination and invited King to address his congregation on several occasions.
“Dr. King was not received well at all by the Jewish community when he came to Newark,” said Deborah Prinz of South Orange, the youngest of the rabbi’s five children. “Some people in the community were not happy. A lot of tensions were building. There were people in the synagogue who were never happy with the things my father did.”
On Aug. 28, 1963, Prinz stood on the podium with King at the March on Washington. “He told the crowd that as a Jew he had a deep sense of what African-Americans were experiencing,” said Fisher. “It was almost a visceral experience when he came here and saw the racism and heard white people use the kind of language they used. It brought back what he had experienced in Germany.”
“The film is everything we wanted it to be,” said Pasternak. “It is an honor to share Rabbi Prinz’s story with a wide audience.”
Although it was shown at the Berlin festival, the documentarians have not yet scheduled any public screenings in the United States. But, said Pasternak, “we are very interested in showing it in Rabbi Prinz’s home area.”

“You’re actually the first journalist to see this.”
Loaded words spoken to me when walking down the back staircase at Chateau Montelena to the cellar room. And they’re not just fully-packed AK-47 words because I’ve received no formal training in journalism; it’s because there’s pressure when someone trusts you enough let you take a peek into the dirty underwear drawer of a movie star.
Ok, so it’s not actually a dirty undie drawer; but it’s the equivalent, anyway, when that movie star isn’t a recognizable pretty face plastered across billboards and silver screens worldwide, but is a winery. And make no mistake about it, Chateau Montelena is, indeed, a movie star.
The steady stream of tourists and visitors arriving right on my heels at 9AM, popping photos of the Calistoga winery’s iconic stone castle exterior was evidence enough of that, considering that your average Napa Valley wine country tourist turns around once they hit downtown St. Helena on Route 29. If you want to visit Montelena, you have to find Montelena, and to find Montelena you have to be going slightly out of your way; you have to be looking for it.
The recently-expanded parking lot is the best evidence of Chateau Montelena’s new-found popularity – where they previously got by with space for about eleven cars, they’ve had to expand to a new lot that can accommodate several times that number. It’s all part of the strange dichotomy that seems to have defined the image of Montelena in the minds of wine lovers over last few decades: a familiar name and yet not a familiar destination. Even though its name became etched into the consciousness of U.S. wine lovers after Chateau Montelena’s then-unknown Chardonnay bested its more celebrated French counterparts in the famed 1976 “Judgement of Paris” tasting, real fame – movie star fame – didn’t come until 2008 when the movie Bottle Shock hit the theaters, giving the `76 Paris tasting the Hollywood treatment.
Too Hollywood, as it turns out. Ask Montelena’s assistant winemaker, Matt Crafton – who as a lanky, tall, affable, laid-back-but-knowledgeable guy seems to fit like a glove into Montelena’s NorCal culture – how accurately Bottle Shock portrayed Montelena’s history, and you get a pause, followed by a smile and an answer that says everything by hardly saying anything:
“Well… There was a Paris tasting; the Barretts did exist; we did win.”
All the rest, as they say, is basically Hollywood bullsh*t…
So don’t go out of your way at Montelena looking for any boxing rings, or drop-dead-gorgeous interns, ok?
The improbable `76 Paris win remains the thing we Americans just can’t let go – the wine equivalent of the Miracle On Ice (at the 2011 Vintners Hall of Fame induction ceremony in nearby St. Helena, the event was mentioned no fewer than six times). Yet, one gets the feeling from the Montelena staff that The Judgment has little bearing on what’s going on right now at the winery. And what’s going on right now is the equivalent of dumping the dirty underwear hampers and cleaning house.
What I saw underneath the stone-castle veneer (a former residence of the Frank family, who also architected the Chinese gardens on the site) was a cellar being ripped to shreds. “The pad’s coming up, down to the soil; the plumbing’s getting ripped out; we’re rebuilding under the façade from the ground up,” Matt told me. It looked stark and naked, with empty spaces echoing where tanks once stood, but it belied the enthusiasm Matt clearly felt in anticipation of having more modern equipment at his disposal.
The internal effort to modernize is being mirrored externally in the vineyard. Sort of. Actually, it’s more apt to say the internal work is mirroring what’s going on in the vineyard.
According to Matt: “We’re doing a green biomass index and soil revesting mapping, basically to put real data behind Bo [Barrett]’s hunches [on what ripens when], so we can use that knowledge far into the future. Bo might say ‘Back in the `70s, during such-and-such weather, blocks XYZ ripened faster and so we should pick those first’,’ and we’re trying to put some science behind that.” Turns out a lot of Bo’s hunches are getting confirmed, but the point is to put more of a focus on managing the vineyard plantings row-by-row instead of block-by-block. “When you’re picking twelve tons of fruit over a vineyard area where you get two tons per acre,” Matt said, “what’s are the chances of the grapes being uniformly ripe? Zero.”
Both vini- and viti-cultural efforts are part of a larger plan to focus more on the vineyard and remove the limiting factors (like older equipment) that might get in the way of making the kind of wine they’re after, which Matt describe as a “Montelena fingerprint.” In the case of their Estate-level Cabernets, it’s black fruits and tannic structure built for aging, while letting the interesting elements of vintage variation make their marks on each year’s wine. The goal is to get everything done in time for next year’s harvest, so no one is getting much rest apparently.
Tasting through the wines, the “fingerprint” is definitely there in the Estate Cabs, though not every vintage is a winner for the $125+ price point. Which doesn’t mean the wines are bad – it’s very unlikely that Montelena would remain popular if they didn’t deliver the goods each year, even if they do have the benefit of movie star status – just that the vintage variations can result in some major differences year-on-year, which you might love or loathe depending on your personal tastes.
Movie stardom hasn’t seemed to infect Montelena with its Lindsay-Lohan-ish poison yet. As Matt put it, “Big business didn’t build this winery; oil didn’t build this winery; every bottle we sold built this winery.” Here’s hoping that attitude stays firmly put, and that we don’t see that famous stone castle throwing TVs out of NYC hotel room windows after all-night coke-binges in the not-too-distant future.
2009 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay (Napa Valley) $50
I suspect the bar for Chardonnay is set crazy high here considering Montelena’s history, even if they claim that the 1976 Paris tasting results don’t factor much into their day-to-day lives. I’m not gonna say this is my version of a Chard for the ages, but while the 2008 on the buttery, melony side of things, the 2009 shows a lot more citrus and peach on top of the spicy oak, and the result is a relatively-big but very-well-balanced wine, with just enough acidity to keep it lively and suggest some good aging potential (if you can wait).
2008 Chateau Montelena Zinfandel (Calistoga) $30
I wasn’t expecting to find a balanced, spicy, lighter take on Zinfandel coming from the hot spot of Calistoga, but that just shows how little I really know, now doesn’t it? I got the feeling this wine, which deftly handles jammy blackberry fruit with peppery spice, would go down real easy with meat and veggies fresh off the grill. Enough fruit for the non-geeks, enough food-friendliness and spice for the full-on-geeks.
2007 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) $135
Far and away the best of the Estate Cabs I tasted form Montelena going back to the `03 vintage. The acidity is jumping and it makes the ripe red and black fruits pop out vibrantly despite its young age, and it clearly has some years ahead of it on the kick-ass tannic backbone (which firmly establishes its presence at the end of the mid-palate and lets you know the wine is serious, dammit). I know people hate when I say that the fruit is “pure” but the description fits here, as it does in wines that really achieve a level beyond the ordinary.

A leaf that fails to unfurl properly or indeed is torn by the next subsequent leaf can be soul destroying even to the most pragmatic of us all. As with most issues with plants there can often be a surprising cause or indeed a combination of factors that combine leading to this upsetting occurrence.
Broadly speaking the most likely culprit in a majority of cases especially during winter is low humidity. The action of heating air in a domestic setting will inevitably drop the relative humidity significantly.
We would suggest by measuring the humidity regularly you can take actions should it drop under 50% for any length of time. We will make an additional post on how you can do that.
Another obvious issue might be underwatering. It is true that underwatering is better than overwatering but balance is of course needed. A simple analogy would be trying to blow up a 10L balloon with only 1L of air. Your new leaf will need a minimum amount t of water to unfurl fully. Your plant will move water from other areas of your plant to try and assist with this function. Keep an eye out for your older leaves withering. This can be a sign that your plant is redirecting water to the new growth at the expense of the older leaves.
In winter low light can also get your plants in trouble, a lot of aroids can grow in relatively low light, but in winter, inside, a few meters from the window, it’s actually almost no light.
In a sunny climate, even in the shade there is actually a lot of light. If you would compare a sunny spot next to the window in summer with the same spot in winter with a light meter you would be amazed by how low the light actually is. If you can’t move your plant to a better spot, consider buying a growlight.
Should you be like to mist your plants, make sure that no water ever gets caught in an unfurling leaf, as it will rot for sure. This can be mitigated by having good air flow or only misting first thing in the morning.
If your plant appears to decline in condition in winter, there is the possibililty you are overwatering it. Check the roots for root rot. A root system in free fall may not be functionally capable of providing what you plant needs to ensure new growth unfurls pristine.
Finally check for every plant lovers nemesis. Thrips suck the energy out of the leaves and the damage manifests as yellow-orange-brown stains. The damage is always more pronounced on the back of the leaves. New growth is softer and easier for the thrip to feed. Gnarly looking deformed new leaves can often be an indication you may have an infestation.
Should you have difficulties with your plants during winter, don’t hesitate to send us an email with some pictures and a description of the growing circumstances: firstname.lastname@example.org
We will happily give advice or even use our social media channels to tap into the collective hive mind and opinions that is the plantlover family.

Braids and Pepper Rabbit at the Detroit Bar Last Night
Braids and Pepper Rabbit
September 28th, 2011
Whoever said that going to a bar and being swept into atmospheric rock isn't normal Wednesday night business obviously did not forward the memo to Detroit Bar, which hosted Braids and Pepper Rabbit last night.
Despite being 45 minutes off from their scheduled 9 p.m. start, people started trickling into the bar as the night wore on; a pretty good crowd emerged by the time the bands got onstage.
Openers Painted Palms did a good job doing what opening bands should do; somehow summoning the hipster nocturnals from their hiding places while establishing an airiness of music that stayed put the entire night. Haling from San Francisco, the three-piece mixed reverb into pretty much everything; the result was the sort of aloofness that can only be produced when nobody can understand the lyrics.
By the time Pepper Rabbit came on, people were just starting to get a little drunk, which is always good for a band's effect (especially in the case atmospheric music like last night's). They struck a balance between Painted Palms' echo and Braids' electric twangs, almost bringing the crowd along with them; dreamy and slightly distorted vocals practically used the Detroit Bar's sound system to their advantage.
Before the bands began that night the Shins had been playing over the speakers in the bar, so remnants of the Portman-endorsed and supposedly life-changing band still lingered in my mind, but mostly in memory fragments of a subpar Outside Lands set. Pepper Rabbit surpassed those fragments, though, bringing along with them a rough sentimental purity that the Shins should have always had but really don't.
Braids' set, albeit late, was bound to be the one whose energy would eke out the most dancing from the crowd. And indeed it did, though the floor lacked the vivacity it could have. Still, Braids gave their usual incredible set, juxtaposing sharp electronic chirps with the softness the band's vocal harmonies. At many points over their set, singers Raphaelle Standell-Preston and Katie Lee's voices seemed to meld together into one voice. At other points the softness turned thorny (or otherwise, not as devoutly euphoric) as drum effects added on top of ones on the band's guitars and keys.
As they geared up for their last song, Standell-Preston addressed the crowd, saying that they were going to end the night softly so that we could all "fall asleep easily tonight." They concluded their set with the very spacey "Native Speaker," the title track off their latest album, truly soothing the crowd into a half-daydream state of reverie; some people in the crowd sat down in starry-eyed appreciation for the apparent lullaby, only barely brought back to reality when it ended.
Critic's Bias: I sometimes dance to Braids' "Lemonade" in the mirror, and I'm nowhere close to ashamed of that.
The Crowd: Thick-framed glasses types whose folded arms betrayed their intentions to look cool drinking Jack and Cokes on a Wednesday evening; they enjoyed themselves during the sets but in between looked like they might be setting their internal alarm clocks.
Overheard in the Crowd:
"People who wear white pants take in the butt. Like... Justin Bieber. That guy wears white pants and he totally takes it in the butt."
"I'm really going to remember this guy, he has a very angular jawline."
"What time are you leaving?"
"I love fat chicks and tequila!"
"I love you. But only because you wear white pants."
Random Notebook Dump: The aforementioned comments about white pants seemed to severely hinder a certain white-jeaned wallflower from enjoying the night's performances.
"The Annexation of Puerto Rico"
"The Ballad of Alessandro Moreschi"

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
(Psalm 27:1, 13-14, New International Version)
We are defined by the choices that we make. The big ones and the small ones. If we choose to give to charity, people see us as generous. If we choose to cut someone off in traffic, people see us as…well, as an asshole. We make thousands of choices every day – from what to eat for breakfast to what car insurance company to use to who to marry and where to live. However, the most important choice we can ever make is to give (or not to give) our lives to Christ.
David is credited with writing the majority of the Psalms. It is more than evident that his writing is inspired by very intense times in his life. Times of joy, praise, confusion, sorrow, and pain. Psalm 27 was written at a time when David was being persecuted, yet he chooses to begin and end his Psalm by praising God. We can only speculate what was going on in David’s life when he wrote #27, but we all know he went through some pretty serious stuff. And he did some pretty stupid things. But through it all, he remained confident that the Lord would see him through.
When your rent’s past due and the landlord’s pounding on your door – praise God.
When people spread ugly rumors about you and you feel like you have no friends – praise God.
When you feel like the world is caving in on you – praise God.
When you’re flying standby and are freaking out that you might not make your flight – praise God.
And when the sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day and you’re surrounded by loved ones and feel on top of the world – praise God.
Praising God in all we do is a choice. Following His laws is a choice. Loving your neighbor with the love of Jesus is a choice. Choose to walk in the light.
Lord, help us to choose you in everything we do. Help us choose to praise you and pray to you. And thank you Lord, for choosing to give your life to save ours.

In PRI Vision, we spend our clinical days helping patients gain the ability to center themselves in space. We define centering as the neurological ability to use appropriate visual perception, capitalize on ascending support, and balance on each side. To center correctly, you must be able to be “neutral” as defined by PRI while performing this task. However, a person can be “neutral” and still not be able to center. Even though we are using visual input through the eyes to help patients accomplish this, centering must start with the floor.
Poor Right Centering with Extension; note how the trunk is fairly straight, rather than flexed, evidenced by lack of side-bending at the waist and from the side view by a flat back. The whole trunk is leaning to the right with the left leg as counter-balance for the trunk.
Appropriate Right Centering with Flexion; note how there is a side-bend in the trunk, showing right abdominal engagement for trunk support, rather than the left leg utilized for this purpose. Her nose lines up well to the right of her midline without head tilting to accomplish this. From the side view, rounding of the back would be observed, further indicating flexion of the trunk.
Sensory awareness of the floor may seem like an overly simple thing to possess. We have the patient attempt to center themselves, and then ask them what they feel holding them up. Especially when on only one leg, many of our PRI VIsion patients can’t answer that question; some of our patients can answer it when on one side, the right for instance, but not when on the left. The reality is that they really don’t know what muscles they are using. Some might answer their ankle, knee, back, or even their neck. Others are concentrating very hard and staring at the ground to help them balance, effectively using muscles around the eyes to help them stabilize themselves; this is another inappropriate substitute for poor sensory floor awareness. All of these floor-challenged patients have ceased to use the floor for ascending support; instead of pushing down on the floor to fight gravity, they are using extension muscles to pull themselves away from the floor and gravity. The heel, arch, inner thigh, outer hip, and abdominal muscles, important reference centers in the world of PRI, are not engaged, nor can they find them to activate them even when thinking about it.
The more disconnected a person is from the floor for proprioception and sensory input, the greater the chance that they have overactive neck muscles and associated symptoms. On the lesser end of the spectrum, they may have neck and/or back tension. At the more involved end of the spectrum they can also experience dizziness or disorientation, tachycardia, lightheadedness or fainting, and shortness of breath. In these more involved patients, tension in muscles associated with extension activity is so chronic that it takes the place of appropriate reference centers. Shutting down those muscles may make the patient actually feel worse until they are able to find, or are given, new references, and can meaningfully use them.
The concept of using the floor for support, neurologically-speaking, is not new to PRI. The right arch and left heel are some of the first references taught in PRI to help gain and maintain PRI-defined neutrality. In PRI Vision, the basis for this concept is taken from AM Skeffington’s (the father of behavioral optometry) description of vision that was written in the middle of the last century. In it, he states that every 250 milliseconds, a process takes place that begins with coming to balance with gravity, uses information about the space around you from the eyes, and results in vision as the “emergent” from the process. In other words, how our vision behaves has to start with our body (and really, the brain), first dealing with gravity. The space around you is literally the air and objects around, under, and above you. It then stands to reason that the better we can deal with gravity the right way and make sense of the space we are in, the more efficient and less taxed our visual process can be.
Ideally, we should be able to balance on one side without over-extending the body, unconsciously using appropriate references, and maintain this while freely moving our eyes around to any desired object; this demonstrates good ability to center. When a patient is overusing the visual system to do this, changes in the visual process happen. It could be that they tend to “fixate”, or stare, at one point to balance, as in the above example of staring at the floor. A more commonly-seen change in PRI Vision is that the patient can’t alter the way they are attempting to center themselves until we alter the space around them through lenses.
What does this mean in terms of treating patients everyday? We don’t claim to have all the answers. But we do believe that the more aware a patient is of the floor, especially on the left after an activity that helps them become neutral, the more likely they are to maintain that neutrality. Conversely, if they have poor floor awareness, or it’s not at least equal on the left to that on the right, you need to look further up the muscle chains for a descending problem.
At the top of all the chains taught in PRI, is vision. Not every patient who needs PRI Vision intervention has poor floor awareness. But if a patient is not able to find awareness of the floor, even if momentarily “neutral”, they will likely need PRI Vision intervention to see it differently, so that they may find the floor and keep it without challenging the visual process to do so.
As Always, Keep Moving Beyond Sight!

Thank you Sidney for inviting us up to your school to release our trout and learn more about your reservoir. While I was at your school I learned a lot about the past of your reservoir. My class has never been so far away from our school.
The first thing we did was stations at the local park. While we were here I learned about the history about this reservoir, the Ph, chloride level, nitrate, and water alkalinity in the water. We also tried fly fishing and we released our trout. After the stations we ate lunch and then played kickball which was really fun.
After stations we went on a hike. During this hike we saw three reservoir that were part of the woods. While we walked from reservoir to reservoir Cameron caught a snake and Corbin caught two frogs. Also at the last reservoir we were skipping rocks into the water. Then we went home. I want to say thank you again Sidney for inviting us up to your school. I had so much fun and I hope to see you again.
And Sidney in general
Is nothing like home
In Staten Island
There are more civilized homes
More rivers up there.

New measurements from the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) study have charted the shape and size of our universe to within 1% accuracy. Above, David Schlegl, a physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and research team member, describes the flat, and probably infinite, Universe that the findings suggest.
The gray spheres [in the artist's conception above] show the pattern of the "baryon acoustic oscillations" from the early Universe. Galaxies today have a slight tendency to align on the spheres (the alignment is greatly exaggerated in this illustration). By comparing the size of the spheres (the white line) to the predicted value, astronomers can determine to one-percent accuracy how far away the galaxies are.
Combined with recent measures of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and supernova measures of accelerating expansion, the BOSS results suggest that dark energy — the force thought to be driving universal expansion — is a cosmological constant whose strength does not vary in space or time. This finding doesn't quite line up with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, and researchers say that "understanding the physical cause of the accelerated expansion remains one of the most interesting problems in modern physics."
The BOSS data "also provides one of the best-ever determinations of the curvature of space. The answer is, it's not curved much. One of the reasons we care is that a flat universe has implications for whether the universe is infinite," says [Schlegel.]

'Too soon' for Laursen to make Villa return
Former Aston Villa skipper Martin Laursen has ruled out a return to the club as manager this summer, after speculation linking him to the vacant position.
Laursen did, though, admit that it would be "a dream" for him to take charge of the club sometime in future. The Danish international was forced to retire three years ago due to the serious knee injuries that had hampered his Villa career.
There had been some speculation linking Laursen with a Villa Park return, but he is staying in Denmark to complete his coaching badges at Sollerod-Vedbaek.
Laursen said: "That (the speculation) is flattering but it (Villa) is too soon for me, I'm afraid. I'm taking my coaching badges in Denmark and coaching at Sollerod to get some experience. It is going well but to manage Villa is too early. In the future, that would be a dream for me. Fans know how much I love Villa, a great club."
The favourite for the Villa Park position remains former-Manchester United favourite Ole Gunnar Soskjaer, whilst Brendan Rodgers and Paul Lambert remain contenders.

Siberian Husky Rescue/Referral of California
|Dogs Available for Adoption||Dogs Lost|
|Dogs Found||SHRR Rescue Groups|
|Adoption Fairs||SHRRCA Information|
|SHRRCA Main Page||Other Rescue Organizations|
SHRRCA is a 501C(3) non profit organization based in the SF Bay Area, but working with foster homes and rescuers throughout the State of California, Oregon, and Nevada. We also have contacts in most states in the United States.
Though we work primarily with Siberian Huskies and SH mixes, we will occasionally list other northern breeds for adoption. However, we feel there are other good organizations focused on those breeds and we encourage you to contact them. However, we will list all lost and found northern breed dogs.
Normally, the dogs that we foster are slightly older, rather than new puppies. This means you're likely to get a dog which doesn't require the intensive time and training a new puppy requires, and you won't be surprised by how the grown up dog looks or how big s/he gets.
For inquiries about the organization, to donate items or money, or intrest in participating or volunteering to the organization, please send us an email at email@example.com.
Dogs are fostered in private homes by members of SHRRCA.
SHRRCA is a membership organization, and you must be a member in order to foster dogs. If you're interested in fostering one or more dogs while they are waiting for a permanent home, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.org for membership information and a copy of our foster home agreement. All foster homes are subject to certain standards.
Before or upon entering our foster homes, all dogs will be spayed or neutered.
ADOPTINGInquiries on adopting specific dogs should be sent to the person identified in the listing. If you fail to reach this individual, you may contact email@example.com for assistance. Please send the dog and ID, or the link to the dog's page in the mail so we have a reference on the dog to which you are interested.
We do ask for a nominal donation upon adoption of dogs in our foster care. This helps us continue our work.
Membership is $20 per year and includes a subscription to the monthly SHRRCA Newsletter, which includes current listings of dogs available for adoption..
For further information Please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.org, or call 800-473-2274.
We make every effort to keep the website and database accurate. However sometimes there are errors. If you have a listing and want to make changes, please send a message to email@example.com with the subject that includes the name of the dog, and it's ID, and list the changes you desire. If the changes come from an e-mail address that is different than on the listing, an e-mail to the original address or phone call may be required to verify the changes. Note that the actual source of the submission and email will be archived for verification.
For assistance with using the forms to add a listing, check the online help links by clicking on the item name on the form. If you are still having problems, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.org and describe the problem that you are having.
This site will only list dogs that currently reside in California, Oregon, and Nevada, or from organizations that are registered in our database. For listing help, or dogs in other states or countries, please check the appropriate geographical region in the National Siberian Husky Rescue site at: http://www.siberianrescue.com.
For general website inquiries, suggestions, or comments, please send an email to email@example.com. We will be happy to respond, and are interested in your comments.

AP bests Google’s technology with legwork in reporting Nevada caucus results
The Republican presidential hopefuls were not the only ones in a race during the Nevada caucuses. The Associated Press and Google were also competing to see whether an innovative technology company or an established news outlet could report election results first – and right.
Like in Iowa, Google worked with the state party to count and distribute the latest results via Fusion Tables and embeddable Google Maps. For the first time, a state party employed Twitter to send out the latest figures, in tweets meant for humans and computers. Unlike the AP's election results, it was all free to anyone.
But unlike in Iowa, Google's figures lagged AP's for a couple of hours Saturday night. At one point, AP had results from 41.3 percent of precincts, while Google had just 18.7 percent.
“I had thought that maybe Google was having technical challenges, because the AP was steadily advancing,” said Jeremy Bowers, a Washington Post news app developer who closely followed the two reporting methods via an automatically updated table (see above) on the Post website.
The challenges weren't technical, but human. And they were the sort of challenges that the AP, with years of experience covering elections ranging from landslides to hanging chads, was ready to address.
While Google's success in Iowa demonstrated how technology could allow a state party to usurp the AP's role as the sole distributor of recurve bows for sale timely, reliable election results, the experience in Iowa showed that technology isn't the sole factor.
When the plan falls through, pick up the phone
According to the GOP's plan, each county party tallied the votes at its caucus and relayed its figures to the state party by phone, email or fax. People at the state party headquarters entered the figures into Google Apps. After county representatives had logged in to Google Apps and verified the figures, the state party certified the results and sent them out.
“As soon as we had certified election results, they were out in an instant,” said James Anderson, a campaign consultant who worked with the state party, Google and Twitter. But in some cases, it took a couple of hours for someone from the county to double-check the numbers. In other cases, there was trouble getting the data to the state headquarters.
In Washoe County, which has the second-largest population in the state, county officials were readjusting precinct boundaries up until last week. The state party's Google spreadsheet, though, had been set up earlier, according to Dave Buell, chair of the Washoe County Republican Party.
So when Washoe County emailed its figures to the state party (after problems with its fax machine), the two lists didn't match up.
A couple of hours after submitting the numbers, and hounded by phone calls from reporters, Buell decided to release them to media, including the AP, the local paper and ABC News.
“The news media is waiting, deadlines are passing,” Buell said. “We didn't want people to think Washoe County was holding things up and we didn't have our act together, so we just released the results directly.”
Buell said he released the figures at 8:30 or 9 p.m. PT, right around the time that Bowers noticed that the AP had logged more than twice as many precincts as Google. Due to the relative size of Washoe County – its votes made up 20 percent of the ballots cast statewide – that disclosure alone could have explained the gap.
The state party soon released its figures for Washoe County too, Buell said. And within an hour or so, Google was lock-step with the AP.
Experience pays off (and pays the bills)
This is the kind of situation in which the AP earns the fees it charges for its live election results. It did the same sort of verification in Iowa, flagging inaccurate or incomplete numbers. But those issues seem minor compared with the delays in Nevada, where the party kept counting through early Monday morning.
Anderson said he figures the AP had people in key locations or simply called county officials. “I think AP's advantage is that it's a tradition,” he said. Anyone who's been involved for years in county politics, “all they know is AP when it comes to reporting results."
Even so, he said, Republican officials were satisfied with how things went. "It's certainly the future of reporting election results," he said. "If it took a couple extra hours to make sure we weren't taking back numbers, then it was worth it.”
AP spokesman Paul Colford said by email: "AP drew on long-developed relationships that our elections team staffers have, contacting officials with first-hand knowledge of the results in certain areas to speed what we reported to our members and customers."
A few days before the caucus, the AP announced that it would rely on the feeds from Google and Twitter for its results and that its speed would depend on how fast the state Republican party provided the figures. If everything went smoothly, Google would be ahead by a few minutes. If not, the AP would try to seek the information itself.
If the party is inexplicably slow in releasing results from a county, even after the long, planned delays between the finish of the caucuses and the release of results, and we cannot get an adequate status report from the state party, we will try to call the county party involved, perhaps for a direct vote report.
On the other hand, if reporting from the party is steady and everything checks out, we will essentially be ingesting and passing along the results from the state party.
Anderson did point out that the party was the only source of certified results. “The AP was putting out numbers that may have been correct, but were not certified. The only certified results were the ones tweeted out and uploaded to the Google results map.”
And AP's lead, when it had one, didn't last long. The two organizations were essentially tied early Sunday morning -- most likely because the AP was relying on Google's figures. Google's figures were more complete on Sunday evening, Bowers said. “Google had 100 percent of precincts reporting before the AP did,” Bowers said. “AP was stuck at 88 percent of precincts reporting for a while."
Bowers tracked the results so closely because Google's performance in Iowa piqued interest within the Post newsroom. “Quite literally," he said, "someone walked up to our desk and said, 'Hey, what are we going to do with this Google stuff?' "
After reviewing the results of the test, Serdar Tumgoren, another news app developer at the Post, said he still believes that it's wise to stay with the AP -- and not just because it remains the only source for every election.
It's an admirable goal to “bring election data to the masses,” he said. But considering how many differences there are in elections just in the area around Washington, D.C., “it's not quite there yet.”
Aron Pilhofer, The New York Times' editor for interactive news, said what happened in Nevada confirms what he thought even after seeing Google's performance in Iowa. “There's not many shortcuts to getting timely, accurate election results. … The bottom line is, this is really complicated stuff, and it relies on a chain of human beings who are imperfect, and stuff happens. Crazy stuff happens.”

A – Many different materials are used in roof construction and not all offer the same robustness, especially over time. When we are faced with a flat roof in need of a flat to pitch roof conversion the existing roof could be any number of things such as concrete deck, timber deck, woodwool, stramit etc etc.
In order to determine which of our products is best suited to a project we have a number of things to consider such as;
- General composition and condition of the existing roof
- Proposed new roof pitch & design
- Wind uplift
- Roof loadings
In an ideal world we would prefer to supply our dead load structure for refurbishment projects due to it being site installed and being fully site adjustable which enables undulations, plant and other items on the roof to be easily remedied or worked around without any hassle, the criteria for this would be that the existing roof is robust and in good structural condition as the weight of the structure and roof coverings would be directly on the roof.
Unfortunately on some roofs the existing deck is not robust and constructed of materials such as stramit (straw board) or be in poor structural condition (rotten timbers) which will not take the load onto the roof.
In these instances where the roof is not robust or unable to take the weight of the new structure and coverings onto the roof, then we would have to consider installing our Clear Span system which is either, our fully pre-fabricated lightweight truss system or, our part pre-fabricated ‘foldable’ truss system (which has been designed specifically for tight access sites). Both span from wall to wall taking the weight of the structure along with the weight of roof coverings and associated goods down through the walls of the building and no weight will be transferred onto the existing roof.
All our structures come with site specific calculations and drawings, a full set of laminated drawings, plus our fixing guides and/or marking plans are always sent with the delivery to site.
If you would like to discuss a project and are wondering if you should use pre-fabricated lightweight steel trusses or our site assembled structure – give us a call and we’ll talk you through the options available and which would be most suited to your requirements.

This trial is evaluating whether PrEP Master Adherence Intervention will improve 4 primary outcomes in patients with HIV, Prevention. Measurement will happen over the course of 3 months.
This trial requires 120 total participants across 1 different treatment group
This trial involves a single treatment. PrEP Master Adherence Intervention is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. There is no placebo group. The treatments being tested are not being studied for commercial purposes.
"It is highly uncertain whether can be cured. However, there are many elements of prevention that can easily be achieved, particularly for those at high risk for hiv." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Significant signs of HIV and AIDS include: erythema, skin changes such as itching, dryness and cracking of the skin; fatigue; malaise; weight loss; cough; hoarseness; a dry and cracking mouth; hair loss or loss of hair color; and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, or the throat. The diagnosis of HIV also includes a positive result for HIV antibodies in the bloodstream, which indicates long-term exposure to HIV and a greater risk of developing AIDS." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Some treatments for hiv and/or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) include supplements for various nutrient deficiencies and drugs that alter immune function or replication of the virus such as anti-retroviral drugs or integrase inhibitors. It is necessary to continue to develop more-selective, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) that increase the durability of treatment. Also, new drugs such as fusion inhibitors and other biologics would offer an option for patients whose immune system is compromised, but who do not benefit from NNRTI therapy. More so, vaccines remain an option for preventing HIV exposure." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"HIV prevention does not guarantee a reduction in HIV transmission. The best way of reducing HIV transmission is to prevent men having sex with other men. However, condom use between men who have sex with men and between sex partners is critical if HIV is going to be effectively controlled. The use of condoms both in men who have sex with men and in those who have relationships with men would not only increase the health and sexual satisfaction of these men, but would also reduce the number of young people who acquire AIDS through exposure to HIV." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"A large proportion of people living with HIV do not understand the basic principles of oral sex and how it is spread. There is a need for public health campaigns to increase awareness on the key principles of oral health precautions and HIV transmission." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Estimates vary widely of numbers who would get infected with HIV every year in the United States. Preventive efforts and health care need must be tailored to the population in question. There is no single answer to these crucial questions that will work for all jurisdictions. There are also differences in the way the questions may be posed to respondents of different racial-ethnic groups and other demographic subgroups. Using the data in this study, we can make some estimates, but not all, of the number of people getting AIDS in any given year in the U.S. The estimates can help health officials planning programs. They can help states allocate funds for those services." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Prep master adherence intervention is a safe, feasible, effective, and acceptable model of care for enhancing the HIV preventive practices of men who have sex with men for 2 years." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In the current era, the decision to enroll in clinical trials is often based on personal desire and fear of adverse effects of new drugs. In addition to this, current research on clinical trials shows limited results for hiv, prevention trials that involve immunizations. Moreover, while the majority of men will be infected with hiv, men are in more control of their personal health than the disease. These men are in more control of their lifestyle choices, making it more difficult for them to be interested in trials. In the future, [HIV, prevention trials] could address the fears of the majority of men and the desires of the majority of women, if more research is done on the long-term safety of new drugs." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There are still many unanswered questions and ethical considerations about delivering MMI to a population of clients who have already undergone prolonged abstinence from substances for many months." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The prevalence and severity of STIs are increasing among U.S. men who have sex with men. In addition, the proportion of infected individuals who seek treatment for their condition is also increasing sharply. Effective treatment and prevention programs are urgently needed. HIV prevention, testing, and counseling should be implemented within health-care delivery systems." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Prepmaster is associated with increased knowledge and satisfaction concerning HIV risk behaviors among young people, but this advantage is not reflected in improvements in global physical or psychological functioning." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"To our knowledge, this is the first study to illustrate the utility and potential effectiveness of a master-training program for a behavioral drug regimen that is not widely available in the clinical setting. The P-MART intervention was successfully implemented, provided a strong impact on improved retention, and resulted in improved adherence. There are many potential advantages of this approach to enhancing adherence to other medications." - Anonymous Online Contributor

Ian McCafferty, currently serving on the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, was discussing the capital’s housing market when he claimed EU bankers were not returning to London.
LBC host Iain Dale was shocked after Mr McCafferty claimed an “exodus” of people were not returning, which was impacting the housing market.
The Brexit supporting radio host responded by accusing the Bank of England policymaker of “playing Project Fear”.
Mr McCafferty said: “We have seen in London a significant change as a result of uncertainty around Brexit, with a number of those who are renting, particularly who work in the City, usually elsewhere in Europe. We have seen an exodus of people.
“Such that certain properties in London are finding it harder, in that prices in London are reacting.”
The LBC host questioned how the Bank of England policy maker could “define” the shift as an “exodus”.
He said: “How do you define an exodus because the latest figures that I saw show there are more jobs in the City of London that there ever have been?”
Mr McCafferty replied: “But we are getting stories from the number of French and German and other European bankers that are coming to London has fallen quite sharply over the course of the last couple of years.”
Isn't that playing into the narrative that Brexiteers have of the Bank of England?
The LBC host responded by claiming arguing “if the overall level of jobs in the City of London is at the highest level it has ever been…how would that have an effect on the housing market?”
The Bank of England policymaker pointed out that “a lot of UK workers in the City, will not necessarily live in the same area as those coming from abroad who wish to rent”.
He added: “Which is why I think it is central London that is showing this rather than the south-east.”
The Brexit supporting LBC host then turned on the Bank of England expert for using the word “exodus”.
He said: “You've used the word exodus, which to my mind means a massive outflow of people.
“Isn't that playing into the narrative that Brexiteers have of the Bank of England that all you're interested in doing is playing project fear?”
Brexit news: Iain Dale clashed with Ian McCafferty over the impact of Brexit on the housing market
Mr McCafferty replied: “I don't consider an exodus as a massive outflow of people; I consider it an outflow and that's what we have seen.”
The LBC host was left fuming by the remark. He swiftly added: “No, it's a big word, isn’t it?
“It's not a trickle, it's an exodus. The two are very different."
The policy maker finished: "The number of foreign bankers coming to London has fallen very sharply over the course of the last couple of years or so.
“Not those who were already here, necessarily leaving, but as they return to their native countries, they are not being replaced in anything like the same numbers.”

The Hourly Timesheet
The hourly timesheet view is the same for Admin, Supervisor and User with a few slight differences depending on account permission settings. Administrators see all features, while supervisors might not see certain features like HR or Account Settings if they do not have sufficient permissions. User level accounts never see HR or Account Settings links.
Account Summary Information
The top of the timesheet contains employee summary information including their mobile login ID which can be used instead of an email address and is useful for logging in on a mobile device where typing an email address is not as convenient. The mobile ID appears next to the Login information. The Account Summary information also contains a user account audit trail under the Event Log and Profile History links that can be used to determine when various account values were altered. (Note that the Profile History link may be inaccessible to certain users due to permission settings).
The Estimated Payroll Table
The estimated payroll table calculates a rough estimate of the payroll totals for the current period. Once the new period begins, the Estimated Payroll will reset to zero until new time is added in the new period, even if there is still unarchived time in the previous period. If the payroll period is not set (i.e. payroll period is set to Flexible Schedule) then the Estimated Payroll will use a 45 day period calculated backwards from the last day of the current work week.
If time-off accruals are enabled, user balances will display in the Balances table.
The timesheet displays all time data for the user and, depending on how much data exists, may be several pages long. Clicking the + sign to the left of each record exposes audit trail information including
- The clock in/out IP address
- An audit trail with previous iterations of the time record
- Geolocation coordinates (if captured)
- User photos (if captured)
Time records are color coded by classification. Regular records are clear (i.e. no color) while time-off records have one of several colors displaying around the + sign to indicate the type of record. To determine the record type for a color-coded time record, check the Legend at the bottom of the page.
Each timesheet has 3 tabs:
- Timesheet: This tab shows the current timesheet.
- Time Entry: This tab is used to manually enter time on the timesheet, including time-off requests.
- Archives: Time closed in the payroll process, archived, or deleted will display on the archived tab. Deleted time does not appear in any reports but will continue to display on the archive tab.

Thus far, there have only been a couple of responses to my question of “what’s your favorite?” And, I would love to read more–so feel free to respond to the blog post, or email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.org .
Don Bull was quick to respond with his favorite:
John Odd, also responded quickly, but his a little less decisive explaining, “Thinking, thinking … currently well pleased with recent acquisitions including golden knight and Crosby pup as must-haves but THE corkscrew will be a toss-up between i) the folding kupper lager; ii) a crudely carved walrus tusk “greasy luck” T; or iii) one of the favourite group celluloids . Thinking, thinking …. I’ll get back to you.”
I have a feeling that many would be in John’s camp. How do you decide on THE one; that one corkscrew that you cherish over the others in your collection.
Keep the favorites coming!
Yes, I know, I still haven’t published mine…

Professional world musicians from Grand Union Orchestra work with young Essex musicians

Two professional musicians from the Grand Union Orchestra spent Sunday morning in Felsted with young musicians from the Essex Youth Percussion School.
The orchestra brings together musicians from many of the world’s major music traditions, are working with Essex Music Services to create more opportunities for local children to learn world music.
The musicians, Carlos Fuentes and Ketan Kerai, ran a lively workshop with the children introducing them to bangra music from north India and teaching them a new Brazilian samba piece. The young participants now have the opportunity to join more musicians from across Essex for a special performance in Harlow on February 21.
Mr Fuentes said: “Ketan and I really enjoyed our visit to Felsted.The children worked hard all morning and picked up the different rhythms well. It will be great when they get to take part in the performance day, they will then get to hear how the percussion pieces fit with the whole songs and they get to play with the other young jazz musicians and with Grand Union on stage.”
The Essex Youth Percussion School meets once a month at Felsted School, offering aspiring young musicians the chance to learn a variety of percussion instruments and music styles. The school is keen to get more local children involved. To find out more contact Jenny Thomson, Essex Music Services, on 01206 798788 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org
• To find out more about the Grand Union Orchestra and the jazz and world music project they are running across Essex, contact Claire Sivier at email@example.com or 0207 375 1122.

As Bert O'Brien, longtime assistant coach of the Ottawa 67's, was being honoured before last night's game against the Barrie Colts at the Civic Centre, he turned to the Colts bench and thanked them for their patience.
They were here for a hockey game, not to see him thanked for his 23 years behind the 67's bench. Not to watch Mayor Larry O'Brien -- no relation -- proclaim March 6, 2009, Bert O'Brien Day. Not watch him receive a trip for two to Ireland and a fancy framed picture.
Bert O'Brien, never one to seek the spotlight, was there for a hockey game, too. But he was not going to get away that easily. These days, everyone wants a piece of O'Brien and longtime buddy, 67's coach and GM Brian Kilrea, who are retiring after this season after 22 years behind the bench together.
"Thanks, everyone," O'Brien said after a brief speech as the 8,870 fans rose to their feet and applauded. "All you people are my friends."
Now drop the darn puck, please. There's hockey to be played.
"Everyone's saying it's winding down," said the 69-year-old O'Brien. "I hope it doesn't wind down until late May, with a trip to Rimouski (for the Memorial Cup)."
EARLY 4-0 LEAD
The Colts probably wished the ceremony had dragged on a little longer. They were down 4-0 on six shots before the game was even 10 minutes old, and the 67's went on to win 6-3.
They barely got the carpet rolled up from centre ice before Thomas Kiriakou started the scoring parade at 1:28. It was followed by goals from rookie Tyler Toffoli, Logan Couture, with his 32nd of the year, Toffoli again and Cody Lindsay, who clanged it off the top shelf.
That was enough for Colts goalie Michael Hutchinson, who was replaced by Peter DiSalvo at the start of the second period.
The Colts came back with three unanswered goals in the second before Lindsay scored again in the third.
The game might have been a preview of a first-round playoff matchup. Ottawa is third in the East and the Colts are tied for sixth. Both teams have four games remaining. The 67's final game of the regular season is March 15 at home against Kingston, when Kilrea will be honoured.
After standing beside each other for more than 2,000 games, Kilrea and O'Brien are still not sick of each other.
"We've had a few arguments, but not many marriages last 20 years without an argument," O'Brien said.

In a suburb of Cincinnati about 30 minutes north of the Ohio River, right down the street from the local Hooters, a little known subsidiary of defense giant Northrop Grumman works on contracts for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Xetron Corporation, whose products range from military sensors to communications systems to information security software, shows up in nearly 400 documents published earlier this month by WikiLeaks. Those documents describe some of the tools the CIA uses to hack phones, smart TVs, and other digital products to conduct espionage overseas — and some of the partners that help them do it, like Xetron.
Now Xetron employees are facing additional scrutiny in the wake of the WikiLeaks dump, according to one source familiar with the matter, with some of them suddenly pulled in to polygraph examinations. It’s unclear if the government is conducting an active investigation into the company as a potential source of the leaks or if the firm is simply responding to stepped-up security requirements on some of its projects.
According to the source, it typically takes months for contractors to schedule the polygraph examinations required on certain sensitive government contracts — sometimes up to a year. “But if it was really important for a mission it would happen immediately … or [if there’s] concern about the project,” the person said. Another source familiar with Xetron’s operations said being suddenly asked to sit for a polygraph in the context of normal project requirements is unusual. The sources requested anonymity to preserve their employability in the buttoned-up world of defense contracting.
The FBI, Xetron, and Northrop Grumman all declined to comment. “Thank you for reaching out to us. At this time we’re not able to provide a comment on this matter,” Northrop Grumman spokesperson Matt McQueen wrote.
“We have no comment on the authenticity of purported intelligence documents released by WikiLeaks or on the status of any investigation into the source of the documents,” Heather Fritz Horniak, spokesperson for the CIA wrote in an email to The Intercept.
The material released by WikiLeaks show that Xetron provided the CIA with tools to gain unauthorized access to Cisco routers. In one document, Xetron engineers are shown working with “The Bakery” — an unidentified group, possibly a codename for a unit within the CIA — to create “Cinnamon”: a malicious implant for Cisco devices. Another document says that Xetron developed software that routes communications back and forth between computers compromised by the CIA and command servers also controlled by the agency.
Xetron has been sharing hacking techniques with the intelligence community going back to at least 2010, according to documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In that year, according to a top-secret schedule, a Xetron representative was slated to present malicious Windows software named “Orca” at one of the CIA’s annual “Jamboree” technology conferences for agency staff and contractors. Orca was designed to circumvent a security feature of Windows that prevented anyone from tampering with programs on a computer hard drive. Orca instead tampered with programs after they had been loaded from the drive into memory.
In a follow-on presentation at the 2011 Jamboree, another Xetron representative was scheduled to detail research into techniques to obscure the origins of malicious software like Orca. In 2012, a Xetron representative was slated to outline a technique for reverse engineering — that is, essentially re-creating — the “embedded” software used to operate real-world machines, according to a Jamboree conference schedule.
It’s not clear whether the CIA ever adopted any of the methods outlined in Xetron’s presentations. Asked about the Snowden documents, the agency wrote that “it is CIA’s job to be innovative, cutting-edge, and the first line of defense in protecting this country from enemies abroad. America deserves nothing less. It is also important to note that CIA is legally prohibited from conducting electronic surveillance targeting individuals here at home, including our fellow Americans, and CIA does not do so.” The NSA did not comment.
Xetron’s proximity to the intelligence community has become particularly noteworthy in the wake of reports that federal investigators are focused on CIA contractors as the most likely sources of the documents published by WikiLeaks — although there is no evidence linking the company to that breach. The documents exposed details on many CIA capabilities, including a library of hacks against smartphones deemed “impressive” by digital security experts. Intelligence officials are taking the breach seriously; the CIA in a statement said the document release would “not only jeopardize U.S. personnel and operations, but also equip our adversaries with tools and information to do us harm.” According to two sources working at major defense contractors, such employers are taking extra steps to remind employees about company ethics — giving speeches and posting fliers in the halls about appropriate data transfer procedures.
It’s highly likely the government knows where the leak came from, or has a good idea, said Nick Weaver, a senior staff researcher at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley.
“I would be shocked if the investigators don’t already know when and by whom the data was accessed, by combining access logs on the server with the very narrow time range when this leak could have occurred,” he wrote in a text message. “If they don’t know this by now, it indicates that a huge amount of effort dealing with insider threats was wasted. Google was able to do this analysis for the data allegedly stolen from their autonomous car project. Why couldn’t the CIA?”
Despite claiming some 68,000 employees as of 2013, Xetron has maintained a relatively low profile over the years. One exception came in 2011, when the hacker collective Anonymous released email purloined from digital security firm HBGary; in one such email, HBGary reportedly discussed negotiating with Xetron to provide Xetron computer malware it could repurpose or re-sell.
Xetron began as a smaller “defense electronics” firm in 1972 and was purchased by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1986. Both companies were acquired by Northrop Grumman in 1996. Xetron’s Ohio plant endured an expensive fire, which inflicted $15 million in damage, in the early 1990s.
“Xetron specializes in providing solutions that meet operational needs or fill technology gaps,” reads a recent description of the company written by Northrop Grumman for potential government customers. One specialty includes “computer network operations” — expertise in encryption and intrusion detection as well as “reverse engineering and computer assault.”
“Our many repeat Government customers can attest to the reliability of the products we provide,” the description reads. “Click the links below to learn more about just some of the products and services we offer. Even if you don’t see it here, tell us what you need. Chances are we can help.”
The company draws a large number of students from nearby engineering schools; it has a partnership on “cyber informatics” with the University of Cincinnati where employees of the company can take classes alongside students. In September 2016, representatives of Xetron went to the University of Dayton to recruit engineers “to join their highly skilled Cyber and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance development teams,” according to a public Facebook post.
Multiple former employees described an office environment focused on beating rivals like Lockheed Martin for government contracts, but where it was not unusual to spend years on a proof-of-concept only to see it left unused.
“Morale was weak, to say the least,” one former employee said. Even so, few former employees were willing to discuss even banal details about working at Xetron; it’s not at all clear that the environment would push someone to leak sensitive work product. “I think a lot of them still believe in the mission, they were just overworked and underappreciated.”

One of Wales’ newest ultramarathons, the Born to Run ultra took place 23 February on a cold Llanelli day for the second time with 40 starters from entries across the UK. The 38 finishers were led home by Steve Babb of Newquay Road Runners who covered the 40 mile race in time of 5:16:00.
The first lady home was Elaine Dean in 6:40:30.
The course, officially mixed terrain but predominantly tarmac, is described as “a deceivingly demanding route” that starts from Bynea Cycle Club and follows the coastal path to Burry Port Industrial Estate and passes through Sandy Water Park where it joins the Mynydd Mawr route which then heads to Tumble before returning to Bynea C.C.
The race is organised by Matt Rogerson who has his own personal project, the 700 mile I AM PREMIER LEAGUE project coming up at the end of March.

What gives me the heebie-jeebies are smaller cities. I've been slightly more than "a mite confused" in places like Mobile, Shreveport, and most embarrassingly Gelsenkirchen, Germany (Think of a city slightly smaller than Shreveport) when I was there for the 2006 World Cup. I had a fellow reporter with me heading for the Portugal-Mexico match (I got my blogging debut reporting on the World Cup from a US perspective for a German newspaper), and I assured the reporter, a native German from Munich that I could get us the 18 miles from the Essen airport to the Veltins-Arena for the match. An hour later we still weren't there as we took the scenic route there. Of course, I guess it isn't too much of a thing to blush about considering I'm not a native, but all I had to do was stay on the Autobahn and take a single exit. Yikes.
So when I was advised by several people to go to Houma to get away from here this past Saturday, it wasn't without a bit of anxiety. On the surface, the place seems straight-forward, and people wondered why I was so anxious about it. "You can't get lost!" they would assure me. I tried to explain my problems with modest-sized towns, but they didn't listen. Now don't get me wrong. I wasn't afraid to go. I was positively buzzed about the concept of heading out to somewhere new, especially without my parents being in on it. My parents are pretty protective of their little wunderkind, so this was a chance for me to escape and do something grown-up for a change. I studied maps and readied my GPS and laptop. I wasn't going to get lost. I was going to prove myself wrong.
So I hopped into my car and headed out. The first thing for me to confront was my fear of high bridges. Though I had worked in Southeast Louisiana on several sites, I had always either flown in via helicopter or went around through New Orleans, so I had completely forgotten about the Atchafalaya River Bridge in Morgan City. Now bridges and I have an odd relationship. I love the design of bridges and their aesthetic qualities, but I absolutely loathe crossing them. I usually sit there quietly intensely focused on the road ahead of me, which makes for fun when I'm riding with people, as they try to get me to look at the sights from the top of the bridge. When I drive, I tend to be clever and just get across it as fast as I can on the inside lane. One of these days I'm going to be pulled over for speeding and I'm going to have to explain that I don't like bridges to an incredulous police officer.
Pretty...but I don't like crossing it.
So after surviving the bridge, I zipped down the fairly-empty highway until I got outside Houma. I took the exit like I was told and followed the winding road until I got to the traffic light I was told to turn at. I followed the directions until I found civilization. At the traffic light everything suddenly seemed unfamiliar compared to what I remember how it was described, so I decided to take the safe route and go straight into the mall. What could go wrong from there?
So I went into the mall and begin to wander about, looking to spend some cash, since this was why I was here after all. Too bad everywhere I went there was nothing for me to buy. No nifty ties, no new running shoes, no computer games (I've preordered them all), and definitely no sports apparel I would purchase (Me? Buy LSU gear? I'd just as soon throw the money in the trash!), much less soccer gear, and no movies either (I was searching for the complete set of Horatio Hornblower movies shown on A&E over the years to no avail, but I did find it on Amazon for $33. I win!). Undeterred, I decided to find the rest of the Houma shopping experience to get myself a new pair of running shoes at Academy. That's when the fun began.
I got onto the boulevard and headed north, assuming this was the way to go, but after a couple of miles and seeing nothing but building after building in an early stage of urban decay, I figured something was amiss. I turned around and headed south down the boulevard. I passed the mall up and once again something was wrong. I turned around and passed the mall again, turning on what seemed to be a new boulevard. That proved to be a bad idea, and I was soon winding my way blindly through a series of subdivisions until I spilled back onto the boulevard. I was quite frustrated at this time because I truly was a mite confused at this stage. Everything was supposedly on a single road, yet I couldn't find it. In my exasperation at a traffic light I decided to follow the traffic and alas! There it was!
I was taking the scenic route, honest!
I was so giddy to have stumbled upon the shopping centres I almost got
"Do you like soccer?"
"Uh... Yes! Yes I do." I said a bit shocked.
"Cool. I do too! I had to ask because I saw you wearing a soccer jersey like I am!"
I looked down and remembered I had indeed dressed up to go to town, if you will. I was sporting my PSV Endhoven shirt I had picked up the last time I was in Holland.
Hup de Boern! (Up the Farmers! [The nickname PSV supporters call themselves])
"Why yes I am. I assume you play soccer?" I had to ask.
"Yes! I love soccer! I play it on Saturday mornings and afternoons, and I watch it at night! I love watching David Beckham and the LA Galaxy! They're my favorite!"
I didn't have the heart to tell her that the Galaxy were rather pants and that she should support a proper MLS side like the Houston Dynamo. I mean, she had to be ten at the oldest!
By then her mom chimed in and apologized for her daughter interrupting my lunch. She told me her daughter absolutely loves soccer and had been staring at me since I walked into the restaurant, specifically because I was wearing a soccer jersey. Apparently not too many guys wear soccer jerseys around there, so this was something she had to find out about. I waved aside any protestations and told them how I grew up watching soccer from Europe and had even been to several big club matches in Europe, and most recently been at the World Cup in 2006 writing for a newspaper.
They left soon after, but I was extremely pleased by the situation, as all too often supporters of European soccer sneer at women's soccer. As I stated on a message board this evening, I was extremely happy for this little exchange because it's what soccer really is all about here in the States. It doesn't belong solely to the expats and immigrants, or the cool hipsters that pack the pubs in New York because the Barclays Premier League is the latest fad, nor does it belong solely to the suburban soccer moms who see it as play time for their kids. It belongs to all of us, and it's something we should be excited to find common ground with wherever we go, not something to dismiss with snide comments just because it doesn't fit within our narrow definition of what we think the game is and should be.
The happiness was unfortunately short-lived for as I was walking around Target doing some people-watching I became quite depressed. Why you ask? Simple. Everyone was walking around with their families, friends, and/or people of romantic interest, yet I was walking around alone. As usual, my emotions can't let me be for long, and I quickly became morose at the concept that I would soon be heading back to Franklin to an empty house with nothing to do. There would be no friends calling to hang out, no one to ask how my day was, and especially no one to ask me about things I like for once.
I was disgusted by this turn of events, and the whole way home I wondered why those feelings would come up suddenly. Was I jealous of these people? Probably so. But that didn't mean I had to toss aside the enjoyment I had getting out of the house and doing something new for a change. Something has to give when it comes to me dealing with loneliness. I'm not sure if I can handle this much longer. I think I'll expound on this some more, but not for now.

In a nutshell Italian Greyhounds are not the most cooperative of breeds when it comes to doing what you want them to do. However it is possible to obedience train an Italian Greyhound but it requires a degree more wit and cunning on the part of the human than with many other dog breeds!
Puppy training classes and even adult training classes are a good idea, especially if you are a first time dog owner. Training classes are about training humans to train their dogs. Training is not just about making your dog do what you want though – it’s also a great opportunity to build trust in the relationship between you and your dog, and classes provide a good socialisation opportunity for your puppy/dog.
Please only take part in training classes that use humane training methods e.g positive reinforcement methods such as clicker training. If you are at all unhappy with the training methods prescribed then trust your gut instinct and find another training class. Italian Greyhounds can be sensitive and you need to bear that in mind.
Remember: obedience training should be fun and rewarding, not stressful and frightening.
Many dog owners now crate train their dogs during puppyhood, although adult dogs can be trained successfully also. Crate training is a sensible and humane way of training your dog to tolerate being confined for short periods of time only. We do not condone crating an Italian Greyhound or any breed of dog for long periods of time.
Crates are den-like and dogs are den creatures. Many Italian Greyhound owners who crate trained their dogs as puppies keep crates in their homes even when the dog is an adult, although by this stage the doors may be permanently open or even have been removed completely. Dogs genuinely seem to love having their own little den – one of the reasons it is important to have a dog bed for your Italian Greyhound, even if it ends up sleeping in your own bed at night!
So why might you want to train your dog to tolerate being ‘locked up’? The short answer is : for it’s own safety.
Particularly when they are puppies, Italian Greyhounds can be very accident prone – jumping onto furniture (many an Italian Greyhound will surprise you by springing up onto a kitchen worktop), jumping off furniture, chewing through electric cables, etc. If you train your puppy at a very young age to tolerate short periods of confinement in a crate then you will be able to leave your puppy safe in the knowledge that it can’t hurt itself when you are not there to supervise e.g. when you pop out to the supermarket.
Crates are also perfect for travelling with your Italian Greyhound in the car. A crate secured on the back seat of your car is the safest place for an Italian Greyhound in the car. Why the back seat? Because most modern cars are designed with a rear that crumples on impact which means any dog in the boot of the car is likely to be crushed if the car is hit with force from behind.
If you decide not to crate your dog when travelling in a car, at least ensure that it is secured with a dog seat belt harness. If you have to brake suddenly and your Italian Greyhound goes flying off the seat it stands a very good chance of breaking a leg.
Note a dog should be trained to be confined in a crate – it’s not fair to the dog if you suddenly lock them up for several hours out of the blue and expect your dog to be perfectly content. There are many good training books that give advice on how best to introduce your dog to a crate and how to gradually build up the time that it spends in the crate without causing distress to the dog. Remember too that if your dog is confined in a crate he / she should always have access to fresh water. Water bowls that clip onto the sides of a crate are best so that your dog won’t knock the bowl over.
An alternative way of confining a dog for its own safety is a play pen – just remember that Italian Greyhounds can jump high and even young puppies may have no problems springing over the walls of a play pen.
As your dog gets older and wiser the need to crate your dog when you are not there should disappear, although the majority of Italian Greyhound owners will ensure that their Italian Greyhound does not have free run of the house when home alone even when they are older, restricting them to specific room(s) in the house.

Italian Greyhounds are notoriously difficult to house train. Anyone considering an Italian Greyhound really needs to think this through as it could mean a life time of dealing with puddles by the back door and leg lifting on furniture by both dogs and bitches – bitches mark just as much as dogs do!
There is lots of different advice on how to house train a dog. No one seems to have a magic solution with Italian Greyhounds. Speak to fellow dog owners and seek their advice on what worked for them.
A sound piece of advice is never let your dog pee or poop inside from day one. This is quite a task as it means you have to anticipate when your dog is going to need to toilet and then take it outside to do its business: when it wakes up; when it has eaten; when it has finished playing or done anything else ‘exciting’, e.g. postman rings the doorbell; and then every hour on top of those times. The idea is obviously that your dog learns very quickly that outside is the only place to pee and poop. It is an effective training method but very labour intensive – not practical for many but if you can take this approach it may save you a lot of frustration in the future!

Work with students Work with teachers Contact FAQs
Hi, I’m Jeremy Taylor, a British teacher, teacher trainer and writer. I’m based in the Czech Republic but travel a lot with my teacher training and writing. I originally worked as a biology teacher but then retrained as an EFL teacher and moved to Germany in 1987. From there I moved to Egypt where I worked for a humanitarian organisation for two years, helping to set up an ESP department in an Egyptian University. I then moved to the Czech Republic, Ireland, France and finally back to the Czech Republic. I currently work for a number of international publishers and train teachers in England, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.
“I have to say that I like your way of teaching and enjoyed the course in Belfast tremendously. Being in the position of a student made me realize – yet again – that the teacher and his/her personality and attitude towards the subject being taught as well as towards the students, is a key element in everything that happens in the classroom. If the students see and sense that you are doing your work with all your heart they are likely to be more motivated and more interested in what you say or do. You are an excellent example of an enthusiastic teacher, who really is present in the teaching situation.”
My Work with Pupils/Students
Classrooms like the one on the left are a sad reality all around the world. After an hour of class a teacher looks at her watch and only five minutes of the lesson have gone by. The teacher is bored, the students are bored, the book they are using is boring. If only there was a way of making lessons more exciting, more fun, more motivating. If only someone could visit a school and give some enthusiasm to the students (and teachers). Well, perhaps there is someone.
“Thank you once again for teaching at my school. It was a real success because all my colleagues told me that you and your style of teaching were really brilliant and fascinating!”
Tina Egger, Germany
I regularly visit schools and offer the opportunity for pupils to interact with a native speaker. In my 25 years of teaching, I have collected (mostly written) a wide range of material suitable for a wide range of levels and ages.
I have some great ice-breakers – activities I can do to help relax the pupils (as they can be pretty nervous when they first meet a native speaker). But it is not long before they are having fun and using English in a natural way. I love small group work where the task is to solve a small problem – in English.
I really don’t mind if the pupils don’t have a high level of English – as long as they are motivated to learn. My job is to bring interesting tasks that even pupils with limited English can do. I encourage teachers to join in with the pupils rather than just sitting at the side of the classroom.
This picture shows a young German student half way through a simple listening exercise. I have many parts of songs which include body parts. The pupils listen to the music and write down the body parts they hear – and then stick them on their friends’ bodies – in the correct position. It is a lot of fun – and definitely memorable.
As many pupils have never spoken to a native speaker before, I try to make the sessions as non-threatening as possible. I want the pupils to feel good about what they do know, rather than feeling bad about what they don’t know.
“I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for making it the most enthusiastic, joyful and inspiring class I’ve been to.”
Jenny H. England
What is suitable for one group might not be suitable for another. I am always ready to make tailor-made sessions that your pupils will enjoy. Activities can include:
- Musical listening activities
- Small group tasks
- An English Olympic Games
- Making Grammar Fun
- Collocation quiz
- Plenty of VAK
- TPR (Total Physical Response)
The exercises are not just simple gapfill ‘add a verb to this sentence’. They involve critical thinking and organisational skills. I love watching the different ways that different groups approach a particular task. I always monitor the groups to offer advice and help.
I have been teaching for 25 years and am able to modify my English so that I can talk with pupils with very basic English and make it natural. I am genuinely interested in them as people, what they think, what they like, what they don’t like and I aim to give them a lesson they will never forget.
I encourage the class teacher to stay in the room. I think this wise from a legal point of view but also it is great to see teachers and pupils enjoying something together. This has proved popular with the teachers I have worked with.
“i would like to express my sincere thanks for your teaching during my stay in ireland. i think your very intelligent. beacause you are a writter, english teacher, biology teacher and wonderful juggler. I can’t forget you forever. thanks again for your excellent teaching. Good-bye and wish your good healthy.”
Kim Hyeong, South Korea
Teachers are hardworking people and often have to teach 20-25 hours of English each week. They simply don’t have time to develop lots of new activities for their pupils. They are often stuck with a boring textbook and would love to have some new ideas of how they can make their lessons more exciting.
Most English teachers can speak pretty good English but often feel they need to improve. While demonstrating creative activities (such as the illnesses activity pictures on the left), they will also pick up a lot of new vocabulary.
I like to present tasks that the teachers can then use with their students. In this case, they are debating how to cut an A4 piece of paper so that someone can climb through the hole in the middle.
“Jeremy was a fantastic teacher. Very engaging and upbeat. I have learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself.”
I get the feeling that many teachers have a bad impression of Teacher Development sessions. They have to sit and listen to some ‘expert’ lecture them about their latest theory which has no relevance to the classroom at all . As you may have guessed, that is not my style.
I am a fan of Lord Nuffield who said: I hear – and I forget. I see – and I remember. I do – and I understand. So there is always lots of ‘doing’ in my teacher development sessions. The best way for teachers to find out about an activity is to do it. After trying out an activity we discuss whether they could use it with their own students – and, if necessary, how the activity can be modified.
Teachers who want to sit at the back of the class and sleep will be disappointed. 🙂
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything we learned on the course last weekend. You were truly inspirational and a great support to us all.
Pam G, England
Although I may only have a few hours with a group of teachers I try to hard to see their strengths and weaknesses and to build on their strengths and support them with their weaknesses. I appreciate the time that they have given up to come on the course and I want them to get the maximum benefit from the activities.
“Highly recommended. Jeremy was/is a very good teacher. No praise high enough!!”
I try to keep my activities short and sweet and varied – as I would for a session with students. I encourage pairwork, small group work and sometimes the whole group working together. One example of a fun session I do is when I teach a class completely in an exotic foreign language. It really helps teachers remember what it was like to be a learner again.
“Just a quick note to say how inspired I was by the weekend. No wonder you teach – you have a real knack for it. There were so many activities, we were constantly stimulated and bombarded with good ideas that the time flew by.”
Sam C, England
Some trainers will do their ‘show’ and then disappear. I am happy to spend time with teachers, giving them the opportunity to ask questions – or simply to practise their English.
“Hi Jeremy, you terrific teacher, I enjoyed staying in Barnstaple Devon and your kind of teaching was a great pleasure. We had lot´s of fun with your stories (!), learned a lot talking with you and you´re teaching is kind of WOW.”
How long are your sessions?
They could be just a few hours and they could be two weeks. Realistically, I think it makes sense to have either one day, or two. One arrangement I have with a school in Germany is that I teach pupils in different classes all morning on day one, have lunch, then work with the teachers in the afternoon. On day two I have more classes with pupils and then leave after lunch.
How much do you cost?
Well that will depend on where you are and how long you want me for. I try to arrange teaching/training sessions in the same area to cut down on travelling costs. The price will include travel expenses, accommodation and meals. Contact me with a request and I can give you a quote.
What age groups do you work with?
I have worked with seven year olds, but most of my pupils are secondary, from 11-18.
Some of our students have a very poor level of English. Can you still work with them?
Definitely. As long as they want to learn, I will do everything to help them. Please let me know the approximate language level of a group beforehand if possible.
Some of our teachers are interested in technology. Can you help them?
Well I’m not Bill Gates, but I have a number of technological things that I use – and I am happy to pass on. My technological activities require virtually no computer skills. I recommend teachers bring a USB stick with them to copy the material.
Can you provide material for our teachers to work with?
Yes. I will have worksheets – and will provide digital copies for teachers to use with their pupils.
I see you take a lot of nice photographs. Can we have some?
I’ll gladly send you copies of the best photos.
Teaching, training, writing, photography. Any other talents?
Well, some juggling is often a popular end to my sessions with pupils.
Any chance of getting one of your books?
If I have copies, I’ll bring one along. I’ll organise a competition and the winner of the competition will get a prize – which may, subject to availability, be one of my books.
The best way to contact me is by e.mail jeremytaylorwriter [at] gmail.com Feel free to write in your own language.
A few final quotes about my training.
Matt, London ” I thought that the weekend would involve sitting in a class, listening to theory and taking notes in a very diligent tweed-and-leather-elbow-patch kind of way. How wrong could I be? I had a truly fantastic time, everyone got into the spirit of things and the teaching was engaging and fun. I really think it was one of those life changing events that you hear people talk about and I’m so glad that I’ve experienced one as well.”
Patricia, Paris: I have now completed the course and can I say how fantastic it was. Jeremy Taylor was really excellent, very charismatic and a wonderful teacher. I have been teaching since 1979 and have been a Head of Dept (History) where I have observed many teachers, so I feel I know an excellent teacher when I see one.
I have informed my bosses here how good the course was and how they should consider Some form of INSETn TEFL training for all our staff.
“Thank you again for having come to Vorarlberg. From what the participants told me, it was a really successful session and I will communicate that also to the Pädagogische Hochschule.”
Joachim Wiesner, Austria

Scientists have long believed that the ability of the human brain to create new neurons ended in early development. Yet new research suggests that new cells are generated in the human brain throughout our lives. In fact, the new evidence suggests that thousands of new neurons are added each day, with only a modest decline in old age. Those blue spots in the image above highlight newborn neurons in an adult human brain.
What roles do these new neurons play? And what controls the rate of neurogenesis, as their birth is called? These questions stand at the heart of new exploration in neuroscience, where the brain is seen as more malleable and dynamic than previously thought.
In the new TED Book Rewiring Our Morality, London-based neuroscientist Daniel Reisel asks how neurogenesis might shape our morality over the course of our lives — and how our new understanding of brain growth might reshape our criminal justice system. For instance, could restorative encounters, where perpetrators and victims of crime are brought together in facilitated meetings, trigger the growth of new neurons in parts of the human brain that are involved in empathy? Might we be able to rewire our sense of morality?
As Reisel writes:
“Experience cannot alter the genetic code, but it can alter the way it is expressed. That is because there are numerous molecular switches that control when genes are turned on and off at various stages of life. Growing evidence suggests that what we experience — in the womb, as children, and throughout life — leaves an imprint on the so-called epigenome. Everything we experience can help determine which genes are active and which stay silent.
The old question of nature vs. nurture … has cast its shadow over many debates in the human sciences. However, the problem is not whether one is right and the other is wrong. The problem is the framing of the question: the perception that one of these aspects of the human story could completely determine a person’s choices. Because in their very interaction lies freedom and possibility.”
It’s been shown, for instance, that stress can stunt the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, a brain area thought to be involved in forming new memories. In Reisel’s bold reading, he asks, could we also encourage the growth of new neurons in areas that might make us better and more moral people? It’s a lot of responsibility for the little blue spot you see above.

Book Repair, Book Restoration & Book Conservation
Light of Day Bindery receives books, documents, boxes and slip cases in all stages of deterioration. There is a small fee for evaluation of books and documents, however there is no obligation for a customer to go forward with the repairs.
Dea examines all parts of an item to determine conditions and need for treatment. Broken joints, split hinges, soiled, torn and missing pages, bumped corners, damaged endbands and caps, broken threads, and many more problems can be corrected in the bindery. We clean and salvage all the parts of the book as necessary.
Any customer can feel confident that we will address their needs within the range of our services. When necessary, Light of Day refers documents to the Northeast Document Conservation Center in North Andover, MA.
Paper is often in need of cleaning and deacidification, and frequently books need to be washed and the pages buffered to arrest the the discoloration and brittleness that develops from the effects of acidity.
When there are missing pieces, as in the cover of this New Testament (photos on right), archival materials are used to rebuild what is missing and repair what is damaged. Titling and decoration are refurbished or replaced with mindfulness to the value of the book, its uses and the wishes of the customer.
As a final step, we are often asked to prepare a clam shell box. This structure helps to reduce the four main agents that damage books: light, air, abrasion and dirt. The box takes all the abuse and the book remains stable for much longer periods of time.
Below you can see the before and after of one of our cook book projects. Refer to the Pricing tab or call the bindery for estimates of different kinds of work.

One of the simplest ways to design a contemporary home is to attach with an architect. Readability, straightforwardness and expressiveness of the structure kind the premise for a modern home floor plan. While large modern homes may not be everybody’s cup of tea, they are often really interesting and spectacular pieces of architecture.
I used to be considering time may not look ahead to us, so with my studies not finished and with out much experience, I fell back on recommendation from teachers and older professionals.” Earth, now an architect with A49 House Design, says that the first problem posed by his tremendous-essential buyer was to create what she called a Sukhumvit-model” house along the lines of the Spring & Summer season Restaurant she favored a lot, which had previously been a residence in the Sukhumvit space.

Speeding leads to 30 charges of fraud
Even though someone is accused of a crime, an accusation or an arrest does not deprive the accused of their right to defend themselves. In fact, at times the very nature of the arrest or the evidence gathering procedure during the arrest may be contested. For example, when the police stop a car on the roads, they must have a reason to do so and a reason to search their vehicle as well. A defense attorney contesting an arrest that stems from this may have many grounds to challenge the arrest.
A Georgia man find himself charged with 30 fraud charges as the result of a stop conducted by the vice unit on the highway. The man was allegedly driving 76 mph in a 70 mph zone. Detectives conducted a probable search of the car, of which the accused was the only occupant, when a K-9 scan of the car indicated there may be narcotics in the car.
Upon searching the vehicle, detectives allegedly found 11 bundles of cash. They also allegedly recovered checks amounting to more than $55,000 issued by the U.S. Treasury. These refund checks were not his own. He was also reportedly in possession of 30 paper copies of Georgia driver's licenses of the people whose refund checks he had.
He has been charged with 30 counts of possession/manufacture of fraudulent identification. It is possible that federal charges may follow.
Georgia residents facing fraud charges, or any criminal charges, should take them seriously. They carry with them serious penalties that could affect every aspect of their life, such as child custody and job prospects. Even an arrest has the ability to taint someone's reputation, and the accused should work to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

NOTE: This article was first published at WashingtonTimes.com on Feb. 12, 2009.
(by Zoe Sandvig, WashingtonTimes.com) – Last semester, Will Ross, 21, did the unthinkable. He deactivated his Facebook account. His friends began asking what happened to him.
“It was as if I’d disappeared or something,” he said.
But Mr. Ross, a senior at Grove City College, in Grove City, Pa., would rather send hand-written letters or escape to a cabin in the woods than keep up with his friends’ profile pictures. He joins a growing fragment of college students and professors across the country who are challenging technology trends.
At Grove City, a Christian college with a student body of about 2,500, it’s not unusual to see students texting each other en route to class, taking class notes on their school-issued laptops or sending Facebook messages instead of walking across the dorm to talk to each other.
According to Maggie Jackson, author of “Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age,” almost one-third of 14- to 21-year-olds juggle five to eight different kinds of media while doing homework.
In a 2007 study conducted by the University of Minnesota, 41.8 percent of college students admitted that the overuse of technology negatively affected their academic performance.
Facebook, a social-networking site that connects more than 150 million people worldwide, was created in 2004 by Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg, 24. It has risen to the top as the leading academic distraction.
“You can waste a lot of time struggling to maintain Facebook posts … instead of engaging in your schoolwork or true conversation,” Mr. Ross said. He and a few friends, mostly juniors and seniors, concocted a plan for a campuswide “Facebook fast” for the month of December, leading up to exam week.
“One way to realize how unconsciously dependent you are is to do experiments,” Mr. Ross explained. He wanted it to be “something that everybody could do that would get everyone talking.”
They began by targeting about 200 freshmen males – a group Mr. Ross considers most technologically-dependent – through small-group discussions about using the media wisely.
Then they slapped up posters across campus and created a YouTube video that showed a “Facebook fairy” sneaking up on students while they are trying to study.
Mr. Ross doesn’t have exact numbers, but he heard many freshmen guys and a few upperclassmen participated in the “fast.”
Senior Bryan Jarrell heard people talking about the fast after class one day, and decided to take the plunge, despite many questions from friends and family. When his birthday rolled around Dec. 9, his disabled account did not send out reminders, causing only a few friends to forget the occasion. Other than that, he hardly noticed any change in his social life.
Now he says he “doesn’t do Facebook nearly as much.”
At Houghton College in western New York state, Gabe Jacobsen, a resident director, is heading the Simplicity Initiative, a similar movement aimed at challenging students to consider how technology is shaping their lives. In the second week in January, residence staff began encouraging students to abstain from certain technologies in four week-long installments. The technology included iPods, cell phones, Internet usage not related to their studies, television, movies and video games.
Mr. Jacobsen said the goal of the Initiative isn’t to make students give up on media and technology entirely, but examine how it affects their lives.
“They’re noticing that they’re allowing themselves to interact with more people,” he said. “They’re noticing how much time has been sucked away by media and technology usage.”
Laura Day, a 20-year-old resident assistant, said that the Simplicity Initiative forced her to go door-to-door to talk to girls in her hall instead of e-mailing them. She also pulled out her earplugs while walking to class.
“If I don’t have my iPod, and I’m not chatting on my phone, it’s a more pleasant experience because I’m chatting with people,” she said.
Beyond the dorm rooms, professors have noticed the ways that technology has negatively infiltrated the classroom.
“You look out from the podium, and you see a bunch of eyebrows and hairlines,” said Gregory Bowman, an associate professor at Mississippi School of Law. “You don’t see students.”
A year and a half ago, Mr. Bowman banned computers in his classroom for an entire week, forcing students to return to old-fashioned note-taking. Various professors at other law schools, including Georgetown, University of Michigan, Florida International and Harvard, have done the same.
Some students thanked the professor. Others complained that they couldn’t take notes fast enough.
“I gained a greater sympathy for computer users,” Mr. Bowman said. “If someone had been using a computer since she was 6, what kind of an educator am I to say ‘Don’t do that now?’ “
He has allowed laptops to stay in his classroom since then, but turns them to his advantage by asking students to use the Internet to find stories that contribute to class discussion.
Mr. Ross stopped bringing his laptop to class last year and watched his grade-point average jump from 3.2 to 3.35. While he’s received some “gentle social scorn” for his technology choices on campus, he doesn’t seem to mind.
“I’m mainly trying to simplify and focus on things that are more worthwhile and more lasting,” he said.

Nearly 58% of parents say that raising a child is the most rewarding job of all time. Everybody wants to be the best parent and role model to their children. However, this is never easy.
This is why it is worth looking into new age parenting if you want to form closer bonds with your kids to last a lifetime. Here is everything you should know about the new age parenting style and why this can be a game-changer in your home.
What Is New Age Parenting?
New age parenting is an excellent style where parents are encouraged to act as their children’s mentors and friends. When you are your child’s confidant, they will not see you as an imposing or bossy parent.
They will be excited to spend time with you and will not be embarrassed if you drop them at school. Many parents can access the internet to help pick up the best parent tips, thanks to modern technology.
However, you should be careful with a lot of suggestions out there because you do not want to risk losing your child’s love and respect. Many resources can blur the lines between friendship and parenting.
New age parenting is about helping kids be more aware of themselves and their surroundings. Instead of yelling at your children and grounding them for misbehaving, you are stepping up as a role model by taking a more composed approach to parenting.
Think about all those times your parents may have raised their voices or resorted to physical violence in the name of discipline. How did that make you feel? If you felt belittled and hurt in your childhood, you should ensure not to make the same mistakes as your parents when it comes to raising your own kids.
Pros of New Age Parenting
Remember when it was normal for fathers to come home from work and collapse on the couch for the rest of the day? How often has a mother had to remind their children not to disturb their dad?
Thanks to new age parenting, these roles are changing significantly. Instead of fathers turning around and telling their kids to ask their other parents for help with their homework, both parents are finding ways to be equally involved in their children’s upbringing.
Understandably, parents get tired after work. However, instead of letting your child feel scared to interact with you, it is better to ask for a few minutes to freshen up and then reassure them that you will find time to help them with their homework a bit later.
Whether changing diapers or being a superhero, it is best to brand out of the strict father-figure role. New age parenting is all about bringing both parents together and switching roles.
Forces New Parents to Compose Themselves
Let’s face it, children can be annoying. It is not gross to say this because every new parent struggles to get any sleep when they have a baby to raise. However, this is not the best parenting style unless you want your kids to resent you when they are older.
One of the most important things new age parenting forces parents to do is calm themselves. It is not okay to swear or yell at kids, nor is it okay to spank them either.
Even if a child in your house is screaming at the top of their lungs, it is never okay for you to shout back at them. Instead of losing your temper, stepping back and calming yourself is worth taking a minute.
Then you can warmly approach your child and educate them instead of yelling. When your child does not get the negative response they crave from you, they will also feel calmer.
Remember that you are still the boss. But you do not have to be a villain in your child’s eyes.
The next time your kid demands to know why they cannot eat ice cream whenever they want, you should not automatically respond with Because I said so! Calmly explain how too much ice cream and sugar can ruin their health.
Make Your Child Feel Involved
When you show kindness to your children, you make them want to be more involved at home. Instead of running into their own rooms, your kids will want to spend more time with you because you are a fun and loving parent.
Your children can help your complete household chores or help you choose an outfit for a party. Making your children involved is a process that deeply strengthens family bonds.
The next time you are with the little ones, try reading with them to feel closer. Check out https://storiespub.com/elephant-and-friends-story/ for some serious quality family time together.
Cons of New Age Parenting
One of the biggest problems with new age parenting is that not every child can be disciplined in the same way. For instance, if you practice being one child’s mentor and best friend, your other child may need a different parenting style, depending on their personality and how hard they are to deal with.
This can challenge parents because one size cannot fit all. Then it would help if you reinvented your parenting style to juggle a bit of new age parenting with some other tactics to ensure that all your children feel supported and cared for. Otherwise, you risk making one child happy while others risk feeling neglected.
Always Be Your Child’s Hero
Now that you know some basics about new age parenting, it is time to introduce some new activities in the home to strengthen your family’s bond. This way, you can spend more time with the kids instead of resorting to the old way of doing things.
It always helps to speak calmly and warmly to make them feel safe and loved. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to parent. As long as your child feels connected to you, you are already the best parent. If you enjoyed reading this child enrichment guide, check out some of our other posts.
Military Life and Personal Finances
Every facet of life has its own rhythm and lessons. Picture for a moment a vast, constantly moving ocean. A sailor navigating through this vastness learns to synchronize with its rhythms. Similarly, navigating through life in the military is about syncing with its unique dynamics, especially when it comes to personal finances. It might surprise some to know that just like that sailor, a service member also needs to be prepared for unforeseen financial storms. This preparation often begins with understanding debt settlement plans, and while many might not associate it directly with military life, it plays a vital role.
Understanding Debt Settlement Plans in the Military Context
Debt can loom large over anyone, but military personnel face distinct challenges. When deployed or relocated, a missed bill or unexpected debt can spiral quickly. That’s where Debt Settlement Plans come into play. These plans help negotiate down the total amount owed, offering a lifeline to those overwhelmed by debt. Being aware of such options can make a world of difference when navigating military life’s turbulent financial waters.
The Financial Battles Unique to Military Life
Whether you’re a civilian or in the military, some financial rules are universal: spend less than you earn, save for emergencies, and invest for retirement. However, several financial aspects are uniquely intertwined with military life:
1. Frequent Relocations and Housing Allowances
Imagine the nomad, forever traveling, seeking a home, but never truly settling. Military families often mirror this nomadic lifestyle, moving frequently due to orders. With each move come unique financial challenges, such as managing housing allowances or selling a house at a loss. Understanding how to budget and save amidst these changes is crucial.
2. Deployment Allowances and Savings
When a service member deploys, their pay structure changes, sometimes significantly. It’s like a farmer experiencing a season of plenty – but only if they recognize and save the surplus. By understanding and planning for these changes in income, military members can maximize their savings during deployments.
3. Special Insurance Needs
The sword bearer on the battlefield needs a shield. Similarly, military members require specific insurance to protect their assets and loved ones. From Servicemembers Group Life Insurance to unique property and auto insurance needs when deployed, being informed is crucial.
4. Educational Benefits and Their Financial Implications
In the forest of military benefits, the tree that stands tall is the GI Bill, granting educational opportunities to service members. But even this comes with its financial considerations. Using the benefits wisely and understanding the financial implications can set up a service member for future success.
Life as a Military Partner or Spouse
Walking alongside a service member is a journey of its own. Partners and spouses face distinct challenges:
1. Career Disruptions
Like a tree frequently uprooted, military spouses often find their careers disrupted with every relocation. Navigating the job market, understanding transferable skills, and potentially embracing remote work becomes essential.
2. Managing Finances During Deployments
With a partner deployed, the financial reins often rest with the spouse left behind. This shift means a sudden responsibility for bills, investments, and unforeseen expenses. Preparation and understanding become vital.
3. Utilizing Military Spouse Benefits
There’s a treasure trove of benefits for military spouses, from career support to educational opportunities. Tapping into these can offset many of the financial challenges that come with military life.
Conclusion: Charting a Steady Financial Course
Military life is a unique journey, filled with challenges and opportunities alike. Much like the sailor on the vast ocean, it’s about learning the rhythms and preparing for storms. By understanding the unique financial elements tied to service and utilizing available resources, military members and their families can chart a course toward financial stability and success.

[Ed. Note: On March 21, 2017, The Indiana Star ran an article by Dr. Richard Feldman on healthcare economics. Dr. Feldman is an Indianapolis family physician and former Indiana health commissioner. In Part I, Trenton Schmale, DO, rebuts Dr. Feldman’s article with the history of American healthcare’s evolution. Here in Part II, Dr. Schmale demonstrates how free market principles will work in healthcare, when given the chance.]
How are free market models solving our healthcare problems?
Free market solutions to the problems of increasing healthcare costs, lack of price transparency, and diminishing insurance coverage already exist. Medical pricing transparency is increasing, and patients armed with this knowledge are advocating for themselves at local medical services, including hospitals. The Surgery Center of Oklahoma lists each surgery’s cost up front. Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics, like Westfield Premier Physicians provide patients the choice of quality, affordable, convenient primary care in a monthly, quarterly, or annual care package. Northwest Radiology and Any Lab Test Now imaging and lab centers post prices online so patients can shop around for services. Even in a traditional hospital setting, patients who plan to pay in cash or still need to meet their high deductible can compare prices between places like the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and their local hospital. Increasingly, hospitals are reducing their prices at patients’ requests, rather than lose business to another facility. DPC and free market models are generating competition while lowering costs and increasing quality.
The free market also offers solutions to these issues via the health insurance market. For example, patients can join a healthcare sharing ministry like Liberty HealthShare, MediShare or Samaritan Ministries, instead of paying for traditional health insurance. Consumers should be free to customize their health insurance plans to cover what they actually need, which can reduce monthly premiums, raise or lower deductibles, etc., and insurance companies should be allowed to compete across state lines.
“As this wave of free market healthcare solutions emerges, it is important to make sure the government stays out of the way. The free market does work in healthcare if given the chance.” ~Trenton Schmale, DO, BRI chapter founder & past president Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Bypassing traditional health insurance altogether and utilizing a free market coverage model protects patients when needing both acute care and more routine or specialized care—because they would be empowered to carry insurance coverage for scenarios that fits them best.
Where are free market healthcare models working?
The free market is already demonstrating effective alternatives! Just look to healthcare areas where insurance is not normally taken: LASIK eye surgery, cosmetic procedures, infertility treatments, etc. These are fields that have been innovating and improving their procedures, tools, and treatments drastically; all while prices have generally been trending downward. These same trends are seen in DPC, cash-only practices and surgery centers.
States like Oklahoma, Washington, and North Carolina are starting to send state employees and Medicaid patients to cash only practices, saving their states millions of dollars in the process. Other states like Michigan and Florida are toying with the idea as well. How is this happening? Patients are more aware of what they are spending their money on. Patients want the best quality for the best price, and if medical businesses want to stay in business they need to be responding to these trends.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats will provide the solutions we badly need. Democrats continue the decades-long argument for government healthcare even while it fails; Republican “solutions” tend to focus on consumerism, competition, and the fallacy that their policies reduce government regulation.
As this wave of free market healthcare solutions emerges, it is important to make sure the government stays out of the way. The free market does work in healthcare if given the chance.

I just bought this ukulele and its way out of tune, and I literally have no clue how to tune it. I’ve been reading a lot of articles on how to tune it but I just can’t do it. If I take it to a music store would they tune it for me?

Last night, notorious film critic Armond White (dubbed The World's Most Contrarian Film Critic by Time) continued his tradition of howling, transparent public spectacle at the New York Critics Circle Awards. This time, his heckling was aimed at 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen. You know how Lady Gaga sings, "I live for the applause"? It's just like that, except the opposite for the troll that is White.
McQueen had just accepted his prize for "12 Years a Slave," presented by Harry Belafonte, when the interruption broke out.
As soon as McQueen took the stage, White started shouting from his table at the back of the room. "You're an embarrassing doorman and garbage man," White boomed. "Fuck you. Kiss my ass."
McQueen either didn't hear the comments or pretended not to. He thanked the critics group for honoring him with an award previously given to John Ford and Woody Allen, at which point White hissed "pulease."
In 2012, White reportedly yelled "The Good Shepherd!" while Robert DeNiro was on stage, and "Ethel Waters!" (twice) at Viola Davis. The year before, he talked shit about The Social Network, shaded Michelle Williams and made Annette Bening cry. This is his thing. Gene Shalit has his puns, Sandy Kenyon has his taxi TVs, and Armond White has an asshole where his mouth should be.
White, who made his name writing for the defunct New York Press and now edits something called CityArts, is nothing if not true to this rancid brand he's made of himself. The stuff he eviscerates in person is stuff he's already eviscerated in print—he called 12 Years "torture porn" and claimed "the only conversation this film inspires would contain howls of discomfort," which Internet discourse rendered categorically untrue, but whatever. He said it. (He also once passionately defended Adam Sandler movies by explaining that they're "really love stories," whatever that means.)
In a perverse way, I have something approaching partial admiration for the guy, though. White is willing to back up the shit he writes with IRL shit-talking, which is not something that you encounter everyday. Also, he keeps the New York Critics Circle Awards interesting. Except maybe to run down its winners, no one would be writing about this ceremony were it not for White's calculated hot-messing. But almost every year around this time, we hear a little story about White that makes us feel superior and more civilized.
Until next year, buddy.
Update: Armond White has categorically denied Variety's report. "I was misquoted, lied about...I didn't yell anything. I was talking among my friends at the table...What I read on the Internet today is outrageous and I don't know what that means," he told the New York Times.

Xi chairs Politburo meeting on economy, sends hawkish signal on inflation
Top of the agenda at Friday’s meeting was to “curb asset bubbles and safeguard against economic and financial risks,” while stressing the need to adopt proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy
China’s president Xi Jinping, a day after being bestowed the authority as the Communist Party’s “core” leader, chaired a meeting of the party’s political bureau on economic matters, signalling the importance he’s placed on tackling the country’s runaway lending and asset prices.
Top of the agenda during the Friday meeting was the need to “curb asset bubbles and safeguard against economic and financial risks,” while stressing the need to adopt proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, according to China’s state media.
The timing and the agenda of the Politburo meeting were particularly significant, coming fresh on the heels of Xi’s elevation, said Minsheng Securities’ analyst Yan Qing.
“There are usually only three Politburo meetings on economic matters and policies every year, in April, late July and early December,” Yan said. To have Xi chair a meeting at this time has “special significance,” he said.
Also important was how the Politburo stated that the prevention of asset bubbles was to become a goal of monetary policy, according to a Sunday research note by Goldman Sachs.
The meeting has sent a “less dovish” signal to financial markets on curbing inflation, which “may help to explain the visible rise in interbank interest rate over the past 10 days,” Goldman said.
China’s benchmark seven-day repo rates rose to record 2.6624 per cent on Thursday, 4.73 basis points higher than the closing average in the previous week.
If short-term interbank rates stay at the current level, the October average will be the highest monthly level over the past 12 months, Goldman said.
Property prices have been soaring among China’s biggest metropolitan areas, as easy loans by loosely regulated financial institutions have lured speculators to seek higher returns in fixed assets.
Property prices surged in September at the highest annual pace in more than seven years, according to Bloomberg data. As many as 63 major cities reported price increases for new homes in September, compared with 37 cities a year earlier.
China’s provincial and city governments took action in October, with more than 20 of them slapping on lending restrictions, and requiring second-time buyers to put down more money, to deter speculators from owning multiple properties.
The combination of administrative measures appeared to work.
By late October, an unprecedented mid-month release of property data showed the price growth index declining on average by 2.5 percentage points across 15 first- and second-tier cities.
Property prices fell in the first half of October in Shenzhen and Chengdu by 0.3 per cent and 0.1 per cent respectively, though still rose by over 4 per cent in cities such as Zhengzhou and Wuxi.
To curb asset inflation, the People’s Bank of China may set new rules to regulate the country’s wealth management products, which have been blamed for fuelling runaway credits.
The central bank may instruct commercial banks to incorporate their off-balance-sheet wealth management products into the Macro Prudential Assessment (MPA) system, as a way to improve oversight of shadow lending, the Caixin financial website reported last week, citing sources at the central bank.
All these measures amount to tweaks that could cool the market and stem the acceleration in prices, without requiring a dramatic shift in monetary policy, analysts said.
“Concerns about a repeat of the 2013 liquidity crunch are certainly overdone because that was a one-off policy misfire, which we think is extremely unlikely to be repeated,” Goldman said in its research.
The Chinese government also downplayed the country’s economic growth target, instead emphasising a programme to restructure the composition of the economy, forcing inefficient and unproductive industries to consolidate, Yan said, citing the wording of the post-meeting statement.
“One subtle difference is this meeting was the statement that fiscal support will be stepped up for poor regions, while at the July meeting it discussed how fiscal spending should guide social capital to invest in infrastructure and the real economy,” Goldman said.

LIBERALS TEAM UP WITH CONSERVATIVES TO DEFEAT POSTAL BANKING MOTION
October 24th, 2018 - 8:07pm
OTTAWA – New Democrats are disappointed that Motion 166 to study postal banking has been defeated in the House of Commons today. The Liberals were presented with a progressive and forward thinking idea, and they decided to team up with Conservatives to vote it down.
If passed, the motion would have formed a committee tasked with putting forward the best model for a public system of postal banking under Canada Post. Postal banking could provide services to Canadians in rural and Indigenous communities, who have been abandoned by big banks, and could also be an alternative to predatory payday lenders who are often the only choice for low-income Canadians.
“Postal banking would allow us to utilize the vast infrastructure of Canada Post that is already in place to deliver banking services across the country,” said Irene Mathyssen, NDP’s Canada Post Critic and sponsor of Motion 166. “However, Liberals much like the Harper Conservatives, lack any vision for modernizing Canada Post.”
Mathyssen’s motion gained support from thousands of people across Canada who signed petitions tabled in the House of Commons. Postal Banking is also endorsed by the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association, Canadian Union of Postal Workers and over 700 municipalities.
“The fight doesn’t end here. Canadians have been inspired by the idea of postal banking,” added Mathyssen. “It’s clear that only New Democrats are presenting a progressive forward-thinking vision for Canada Post.”

Infrastructure NSW Identifies 70 Projects Crucial to State Growth
By Vittorio Hernandez | October 4, 2012 10:46 AM EST
Infrastructure New South Wales (INSW) named on Wednesday 70 projects and reforms that the agency will pursue considered crucial to the state's growth and development.
The projects include a $10-billion venture that would link two of the largest motorways in Sydney, the M4 and M5 East.
To initially fund the 33-kilometre proposed WestConnex motorway, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell announced the release of $1.8 billion.
Businesses in the state hailed the construction of the new motorway because it would ease gridlock on Sydney roads. Patricia Forsythe, the director of the Sydney Business Chamber, pointed out that road and rail congestion in Sydney is the single biggest challenge to the city's economic prosperity and livability.
Infrastructure Partnerships Australia Chief Executive Brendan Lyon said the Westconnex is critical to solve the traffic problem in Sydney which he said is drowning in freight and passenger congestion.
Besides the motorway, the state government would also construct over 15 major crossings across NSW that would allow B-doubles to travel to regional areas and interstate. The five key roads around the Sydney Airport would also be upgraded.
The projects would cost $20 billion spread over 20 years. About $10 billion is expected to come from road toll fees.
INSW Chairman Nick Greiner is also expected to push for the construction of a second airport at Badgerys Creek, but the premier would likely reiterate his objection to the building of a new gateway in the Sydney basin.
"I'm preoccupied with state infrastructure. If the federal government wants to stump up the $5-9 billion for a federal airport, good luck to them. But I noticed (federal Infrastructure Minister Anthony) Albanese never commits such funds to the projects," The Australian quoted Mr O'Farrell.
Mr Albanese, however, agrees that the current Sydney Airport is near its peak capacity and unless a solution is immediately agreed upon, the city would miss out on major events as well as boosts to economic activities and job creation opportunities which would instead benefit Melbourne and Brisbane.

Some say that happiness is a choice, and where they may be some psychological pushback to that statement, the fundamentals of the concept are true. All of us have had the experience of waking up on the wrong side of the bed and immediately recognizing that we are a major “crankypants.” Sometimes, it’s simply because we didn’t get enough sleep, or tweaked a part of our body while sleeping. Perhaps remnants of a bad dream are lingering in waking hours. You might be ruminating on a deeper issue at work or in your personal life, and those thoughts are dominating your happy/carefree time. Whatever the cause, we do have a choice to get out of the funk, which usually involves changing our perspective,and/ or relationship to the stimuli around us.
Now of course, just being cranky is different than feeling fundamentally unhappy at your core. Pervasive unhappiness or unease can be labeled as depression, and it can feel incredibly heavy. Suffering from a long-term bout of unhappiness can stem from many areas, but for the most part, it can be narrowed down to fit into one of these categories.
1. Fear: This is intended to be a broad category, as it addresses many subtopics, such as self-esteem. A lack of self-esteem is typically a fear of not being good enough or being afraid that you are not living up to standards/expectations from yourself and/or others. Fear can also be associated with loss or being alone; never finding “the one” or losing someone/something important in your life.
2. Lack of drive; nothing to look forward to; bored: Many of us will never feel like we are fulfilling our true potential because we waste so much time doing nothing. We have so much choice these days that it can be paralyzing to have to choose what to do, therefore leaving us feeling empty. Without a long-term goal to keep working towards, we can feel rudderless.
3. Conflict with self or others: This is a beast of a category right here as it truly covers the bases when it comes to deep unhappiness. When we are engaging in an activity or life choice that takes us away from who we are at out core, we will inevitably feel conflict, and unease. When we are in conflict with another person, it can feel just as daunting as we struggle to find the right course of action with the least amount of consequences.
With these many varying degrees of unhappiness, getting out of the feeling boils down to making tiny choices throughout the day that help lead you back to feeling more stable and on top of things. If you don’t have the bandwidth presently to do the deeper work, then here are some life hack tools to guide you back into a more positive place.
-Distance yourself from the feeling: Use language such as I FEEL unhappy, as opposed to I AM unhappy. The feeling is fleeting, not a permanent state of being.
-Name the emotion as something other than it is: You may be experiencing what you label as "unhappiness" in your body, ie: tension in your shoulders, an upset stomach, headaches. That’s your body’s emotional response. The feeling can be whatever you want to name it. You can rename it as excitement or anticipation for a change.
-Acknowledge that its hard not to think about: Sometimes unhappiness comes from obsessing over something we have no control over. If you acknowledge to yourself that it’s hard not to think about, and give yourself a little break, it can eliminate some of the guilt of the obsession, which in turn helps you ruminate less.
-Fake it till you make it: Act like a happier happy version of yourself. You’ve been happy before, and you will be again. Do you remember what it felt like to be happy? What were you doing at the time? Try to repeat some of the actions you were doing when you were happiest.
-Get out and move: The energy around you can influence your state of mind. Stagnation can make you feel tired and bored which can mimic unhappiness. Get out of your house and into nature to cast off some toxic energy!
-Give yourself some self-care: It’s critical to know what makes you feel good for you, because self-care looks different to everyone. It can be as simple as sitting with a cup of coffee or going for a walk; saying no to something you don’t want to do or allowing yourself to do something you’ve always wanted to do. Find one thing that rejuvenates you and do it!
Remember that happiness is a moment to moment choice. One bit of information can change the temperature of your day, but how you choose to respond to it will have the greatest effect on your mood. When you link together each small choice towards happiness, it will inevitably shift your perspective, and before you know it, you will start to feel the heaviness of a funky mood disappear!

London: Printed for Henry Colburn, 1816. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto. xiii, (2) 370pp., 5 aquatints, 1 folding map. Bound in half calf over decorative paper-covered boards. Marbled edges. Color frontispiece. Two plates are signed engraved by R. Havell & Son. Comprising authentic memoirs and anecdotes of the reigning Bashaw, his family, and other persons of distinction; also an account of the domestic manners of the Moors, Arabs, and Turks. Illustrated with five aquatints, including frontispiece, and one folding map.
Attributed to the sister of the British Consul (1783–1793) Richard Tully. "The volume will be found an object of particular curiosity, from the lively and artless manner in which it lays open the interior of the Court of the Bashaw of Tripoli. It contains, we believe, the only exact account which has ever been made publicly known of the private manners and conduct of this African Despot, and details such scenes and events, such sketches of human weakness and vice, the effects of ambition, avarice, envy, intrigue, as will scarcely appear credible in the estimation of a European." (Preface). Contains appendix and index at rear. Binding with light wear along edges. Some foxing of map, engravings only o margins. Binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Item #46221

Computational job lifecycle¶
The GC3Utils commands support the following workflow:
- Submit a GAMESS job (with a single input file): ggamess
- Monitor the status of the submitted job: gstat
- Retrieve the output of a job once it’s finished: gget
Usage and some examples on how to use the mentioned commands are provided in the next sections
Managing jobs with GC3Libs¶
GC3Libs takes an application-oriented approach to asynchronous
computing. A generic
Application class provides the basic
operations for controlling remote computations and fetching a result;
client code should derive specialized sub-classes to deal with a
particular application, and to perform any application-specific
pre- and post-processing.
The generic procedure for performing computations with GC3Libs is the following:
- Client code creates an instance of an Application sub-class.
- Asynchronous computation is started by submitting the application object; this associates the application with an actual (possibly remote) computational job.
- Client code can monitor the state of the computational job; state handlers are called on the application object as the state changes.
- When the job is done, the final output is retrieved and a post-processing method is invoked on the application object.
At this point, results of the computation are available and can be used by the calling program.
Application class (and its sub-classes) alow client code
to control the above process by:
Specifying the characteristics (computer program to run, input/output files, memory/CPU/duration requirements, etc.) of the corresponding computational job. This is done by passing suitable values to the
Applicationconstructor. See the
Applicationconstructor documentation for a detailed description of the parameters.
Providing methods to control the “life-cycle” of the associated computational job: start, check execution state, stop, retrieve a snapshot of the output files. There are actually two different interfaces for this, detailed below:
A passive interface: a
Engineobject is used to start/stop/monitor jobs associated with the given application. For instance:a = GamessApplication(...) # create a `Core` object; only one instance is needed g = Core(...) # start the remote computation g.submit(a) # periodically monitor job execution g.update_job_state(a) # retrieve output when the job is done g.fetch_output(a)
The passive interface gives client code full control over the lifecycle of the job, but cannot support some use cases (e.g., automatic application re-start).
As you can see from the above example, the passive interface is implemented by methods in the
Engineclasses (they implement the same interface). See those classes documentation for more details.
An active interface: this requires that the
Applicationobject be attached to a
Engineinstance:a = GamessApplication(...) # create a `Core` object; only one instance is needed g = Core(...) # tell application to use the active interface a.attach(g) # start the remote computation a.submit() # periodically monitor job execution a.update_job_state() # retrieve output when the job is done a.fetch_output()
With the active interface, application objects can support automated restart and similar use-cases.
Engineobject is used instead of a
Coreone, the job life-cycle is automatically managed, providing a fully asynchronous way of executing computations.
The active interface is implemented by the
Taskclass and all its descendants (including
Providing “state transition methods” that are called when a change in the job execution state is detected; those methods can implement application specific behavior, like restarting the computational job with changed input if the alloted duration has expired but the computation has not finished. In particular, a postprocess method is called when the final output of an application is available locally for processing.
The set of “state transition methods” currently implemented by the
postprocess(). Each method is called when the execution state of an application object changes to the corresponding state; see each method’s documentation for exact information.
In addition, GC3Libs provides collection classes, that expose
interfaces 2. and 3. above, allowing one to control a set of
applications as a single whole. Collections can be nested (i.e., a
collection can hold a mix of
TaskCollection objects), so that workflows can be implemented
by composing collection objects.
Note that the term computational job (or just job, for short) is used here in a quite general sense, to mean any kind of computation that can happen independently of the main thread of the calling program. GC3Libs currently provide means to execute a job as a separate process on the same computer, or as a batch job on a remote computational cluster.
Execution model of GC3Libs applications¶
An Application can be regarded as an abstraction of an independent asynchronous computation, i.e., a GC3Libs’ Application behaves much like an independent UNIX process (but it can actually run on a separate remote computer). Indeed, GC3Libs’ Application objects mimic the POSIX process model: Application are started by a parent process, run independently of it, and need to have their final exit code and output reaped by the calling process.
The following table makes the correspondence between POSIX processes and GC3Libs’ Application objects explicit.
|os module function||Core function||purpose|
|exec||Core.submit||start new job|
|kill(..., SIGTERM)||Core.kill||terminate executing job|
|wait(..., WNOHANG)||Core.update_job_state||get job status|
- With GC3Libs, it is not possible to send an arbitrary signal to a running job: jobs can only be started and stopped (killed).
- Since POSIX processes are always executed on the local machine, there is no equivalent of the GC3Libs fetch_output.
Application exit codes¶
POSIX encodes process termination information in the “return code”, which can be parsed through os.WEXITSTATUS, os.WIFSIGNALED, os.WTERMSIG and relative library calls.
Likewise, GC3Libs provides each
Application object with an
execution.returncode attribute, which is a valid POSIX “return
code”. Client code can therefore use os.WEXITSTATUS and relatives
to inspect it; convenience attributes execution.signal and
execution.exitcode are available for direct access to the parts of
the return code. See
Run.returncode() for more information.
However, GC3Libs has to deal with error conditions that are not catered for by the POSIX process model: for instance, execution of an application may fail because of an error connecting to the remote execution cluster.
To this purpose, GC3Libs encodes information about abnormal job
termination using a set of pseudo-signal codes in a job’s
execution.returncode attribute: i.e., if termination of a job is due
to some grid/batch system/middleware error, the job’s
os.WIFSIGNALED(app.execution.returncode) will be True and the
signal code (as gotten from os.WTERMSIG(app.execution.returncode))
will be one of those listed in the
Application execution states¶
At any given moment, a GC3Libs job is in any one of a set of
pre-defined states, listed in the table below. The job state is
always available in the .execution.state instance property of any
Application or Task object; see
Run.state() for detailed
|GC3Libs’ Job state||purpose||can change to|
|NEW||Job has not yet been submitted/started (i.e., gsub not called)||SUBMITTED (by gsub)|
|SUBMITTED||Job has been sent to execution resource||RUNNING, STOPPED|
|STOPPED||Trap state: job needs manual intervention (either user- or sysadmin-level) to resume normal execution||TERMINATED (by gkill), SUBMITTED (by miracle)|
|RUNNING||Job is executing on remote resource||TERMINATED|
|UNKNOWN||Job info not found or lost track of job (e.g., network error or invalid job ID)||any other state|
|TERMINATED||Job execution is finished (correctly or not) and will not be resumed||None: final state|
Application object is first created, its
.execution.state attribute is assigned the state NEW. After a
successful start (via Core.submit() or similar), it is transitioned
to state SUBMITTED. Further transitions to RUNNING or STOPPED or
TERMINATED state, happen completely independently of the creator
program: the Core.update_job_state() call provides updates on the
status of a job. (Somewhat like the POSIX wait(..., WNOHANG) system
call, except that GC3Libs provide explicit RUNNING and STOPPED states,
instead of encoding them into the return value.)
The STOPPED state is a kind of generic “run time error” state: a job can get into the STOPPED state if its execution is stopped (e.g., a SIGSTOP is sent to the remote process) or delayed indefinitely (e.g., the remote batch system puts the job “on hold”). There is no way a job can get out of the STOPPED state automatically: all transitions from the STOPPED state require manual intervention, either by the submitting user (e.g., cancel the job), or by the remote systems administrator (e.g., by releasing the hold).
The UNKNOWN state is a temporary error state: whenever GC3Pie is unable to get any information on the job, its state move to UNKNOWN. It is usually related to a (hopefully temporary) failure while accessing the remote resource, because of a network error or because the resource is not correctly configured. After the underlying cause of the error is fixed and GC3Pie is able again to get information on the job, its state will change to the proper state.
The TERMINATED state is the final state of a job: once a job reaches it, it cannot get back to any other state. Jobs reach TERMINATED state regardless of their exit code, or even if a system failure occurred during remote execution; actually, jobs can reach the TERMINATED status even if they didn’t run at all!
A job that is not in the NEW or TERMINATED state is said to be a “live” job.
Computational job specification¶
One of the purposes of GC3Libs is to provide an abstraction layer that frees client code from dealing with the details of job execution on a possibly remote cluster. For this to work, it necessary to specify job characteristics and requirements, so that the GC3Libs scheduler can select an appropriate computational resource for executing the job.
GC3Libs Application provide a way to describe computational job characteristics (program to run, input and output files, memory/duration requirements, etc.) loosely patterned after ARC’s xRSL language.
The description of the computational job is done through keyword
parameters to the
Application constructor, which see for
details. Changes in the job characteristics after an

My previous post - #5 :: My day in hell
ouch!!!no.i did not break my finger typing.its just that i have a serious headache.i don't knw when it started but i do know WHY it started.i may be missing some details,forgive me for that,as i am having trouble remembering a lot of things.But trust that what you are about to read is an ectremely true first person account of his sufferings.being a citizen of the metropolis of mumbai,it is extremely obvious that i am a regular at various street food joints.but,even the most experienced person,won't claim complete knowledge of the dishes available on the streeets here.that is b'coz evolution is a process that is constant to these vendors.dengue,malaria,food poisoning may scare anyone but not us mumbaikars,or so we say(boast).if you say no to a free fast food rendezvous,you shall be the butt of jokes for enerations to come.so when my brothers decided to go out yesterday,i had no choice but to save my reputation and join them.the three of us might look very thin and lanky in appearance,but for me,the other two are veterans in such recco's.we decided the spot to be a street dosa vendor.being saturday,business was better than usual.dosas were flying out fster than you could say " Oh Shit!". after embarassingly gaping at the workings of it,we decided to get down to business.i left the ordering to my brothers.doe.three dishes.each plate of hot,steaming dosa was accompanied with a spicy,eye-watering chutney(sauce).the palate burned me stomach.it began to groan in surrender,but i spake not a word.i was jus pushing my plate back when two more dishes arrived.the flabbergasted look on my face was enuf to earn a few quick jibes.fuming with shame and rage,i swallowed all i cud.we left soon,b4 the dosawalah cud say "let me do some business out here".we were on our way back home wen we saw an golawallah( ice candy man).and my company launched into a vigorous explanation into why we stopped here.it seems that this was no ordinary street eatery.this was the most famous dish in all of our small town.begrudgingly,i gave up.bring em on,i said.i have to say it,the food was tasty,just that it was a little too much on my tummy.surprisingly it gave me a illusion of well being.it was not until i got to bed did i notice something was going wrong.i tossed and turned liek the dosa on my bed.i cud hardly find a minute of sleep.as i woke up in the moning,my head felt like a warzone for george's next adventure.my stomach looked like a gas inflated balloon,except that the gas was leaking out leaving a very bad stench.i was groggy,and cud hardly make my way fom hall to the loo.the occassional opening of my mouth led to the inhalation of a very bad stench,which i speculated was the stink of the decomposing stuff inside of me.as i brushed my teeth,i remembered the lines of shakespeare(proves how bad i was)*but above all-be true to thine own self* .i guess, shakespeare must have himself had an experience at the queens banquets.no wonder,then.as the impending day approached,i had all the time required for introspection -------- IN THE LOO.

Confessions of a CEO: Avoid Paving the Cow Path
Cows walk the same path over and over, following the well-worn route, confident it will take them where they want to go, mostly staying in line and moving forward with their heads down. In the spirit of efficiency and higher performance, as leaders, we tend to want to pave cow paths to make things better. After all, continuing to do what has worked reliably seems a reasonable course of action.
Covid upended our well-worn cow paths. As we planned our new “post-Covid” workforce strategy, I found myself repaving the cow path—making slight modifications to our pre-Covid approach to work. Basically, it flopped. One of my colleagues said, “We need to step back. We have a once-in-a-career opportunity to do something completely different—not just change on the fringe. We should not squander this opportunity.” She was right.
Fast forward to now. We are decidedly not on the worn cow path, nor should we be. According to Arizona State University, 66% of employers intend to offer more flexible or expanded work-from-home policies.(1) We need to catch up and get ahead. Here are three lessons I have learned.
1. It’s time to leave a good amount of what we thought we knew at the virtual door.
There is no better time to have a beginner’s mind than now. As a result of profound change over the last two years, employees are embracing what they want and need to do life, to do their jobs, and to be more present with their loved ones. We are in a national competition for talent, and the talent has a lot to say about how they want to work and where they want to live. Work and life have been redefined at every level.
Accenture reports that post-Covid, half of consumers are rethinking their personal purpose.(2) With so many of us reprioritizing, employee turnover has dramatically increased, and we are amid the great resignation. As people renew their personal purpose, connecting to a company’s purpose becomes even more important to attracting and retaining talent. More than ever, employees want to work for a company that serves a greater good.
2. New meeting protocols and codes of conduct are needed in a virtual world.
In recent discussions at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, we decided to strike RTO (return to office) from our lexicon. It’s no longer about returning, because we continue to function virtually every day at a high level. Our decision about how work gets done is centered around our customer and our employee needs, not a physical space.
Knowing that attendees can zone out during in-person meetings, virtual meetings require an even higher standard of creativity, content, structure, and expectations. A recent Digital.com survey reported 6 in 10 workers shop online during virtual meetings.(3) Ouch.
Trying to not only figure out how to make things work, but learn how to make things great, we are staying keenly aware and are looking at our future with fresh eyes. Like most companies, we have done quite a bit of experimenting … Some of it worked and some didn’t. For what it’s worth, here are some of our learnings:
- Change the scheduling default meeting times to 25 and 50 minutes (instead of 30 and 60) and watch work life get better.
- If you are the meeting lead, welcome attendees as they “arrive” and make it a point to engage everyone with checkpoint questions throughout the meeting. If someone has not contributed, it may mean they don’t need to be there … or they are getting some great online deals!
- It’s OK to leave people off the invite list and either message them with a quick question … or loop them into the virtual session for a few needed moments.
- Set an expectation about camera usage during virtual meetings, because being on camera is the new together!
- Make sure everyone has the right equipment to engage in a productive, visual meeting. We found many of our employees did not have camera access and were participating in meetings with audio only.
- And lastly, it’s OK to have fun during virtual meetings! The virtual meeting chat is a great place for color commentary and sharing gifs.
3. Without water coolers, communication and listening are more important than ever.
The loss of culture was my biggest worry related to shifting to more virtual interactions. In virtual meetings, when someone throws out a question, within seconds, answers, links, and perspectives appear in the chat. Because we are so connected to our keyboards, the virtual space is truly a communication channel to be nurtured.
With this in mind, our creative, communications, and human resource teams are setting out to enhance the culture so employees can thrive, whether they are in-person, remote, or some version of hybrid. We have multiplied our employee communications tenfold … more information-sharing meetings, more videos, more all-employee newsletters. Maintaining connections with one another, our work, and our purpose in a virtual world requires a highly structured approach to communications.
And, most importantly, we are learning to listen continuously and at scale. Earlier this year, we initiated a monthly “check-in” survey. We keep it anonymous, ask six questions (including two that remain the same), and publish the results in real-time—all of the results. With each survey we know how many respondents “feel great about work” and how many are “proud to work here.” In a recent survey, 75% and 89% respectively.
With each survey we also receive about 1,000 honest comments to the questions: “What is going well?” and “What’s not going so well?” The candid answers range from uplifting to concerning. We categorize the questions and work on solutions and answers, so we are continually improving. When we don’t know the answer yet, we share that too. And with a survey response rate of about 40%, the authenticity of this real-time feedback loop not only engenders trust, but we’ve also found ways to have a little fun too.
We've learned that 29% of our employees said they would take a free ride into space, 22% admit to watching True Crime, and apparently 20% are such big Phoenix Suns fans, they have Suns underwear.
Maybe it’s all that online shopping during virtual meetings.

Chippa bag first PSL win
Cape Town - Chippa United were made to fight hard for their first win in top flight soccer as they saw off Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 at Athlone Stadium.
The Cape side had more of the play early and had a couple of chances as Cole Alexander fired over from 30-yards and then Petrus Ngebo fired into the side-netting from a tight angle.
The Free State side, however, always looked a threat on the counter and were close to scoring in the 15th minute with a speedy break up the field, but the move came to nothing as Ruzaigh Gamildien failed to take the correct option.
The Chilli Boys took the lead in the 30th minute via the long ball route as Alexander’s 45-yard cross was flicked on and into the back of the net by Ngebo.
Phunya Sele Sele were the stronger side of the closing stages of the first half, but could not create any clear cut chances on goal.
But after the break the Cippa were back on top with a couple of quick chances, with Ngebo off target from 16-yards out.
And their lead was doubled nine minutes after the restart as Diego Brown went on a scything solo run which ended in a sublime finish with his right foot which left Patrick Tignyemb rooted to the spot.
Both sides were then guilty of missing easy chances. Firstly it was Ngebo who skied the ball over the bar from well inside box, before Lerato Manzini did the same thing at the other end.
Celtic kept on coming at the home side and were rewarded for their efforts when Lennox Bacela drew Maxwell Khubeka into a foul in the box.
Bacela converted from the spot himself to cut the deficit in half.
This signalled an intense period of pressure from Phunya Sele Sele as they attacked in waves upon the home goal as the rain poured down relentlessly.
Somehow, though, the Cape side managed to keep the ball out the net as they held on heroically to take home the three points.

I recently listened to an IG LIVE with Lauryn Evarts-Bosstick from The Skinny Confidential and Mona Vand on wellness. Now, these two are probably the queens of wellness. I wanted to share a few of their tips from the talk and touch on a few wellness points of my own that I have tried to incorporate in my routine.
I think what works for one person of course isn’t going to work for everyone, but there are a few things that do help a majority of people. As Lauryn said, “you’re your own guinea pig”. I think that really resonated with me especially when I form my skincare/workout/eating routine. I try to find that perfect combination that works for me.
Another point that Mona mentioned that stuck out to me was that one of her biggest wellness tips was to eat real food. I have actually read something on this a while back and if you think about it, it makes SO much sense. Cutting out processed foods and foods that come in boxes and packages just don’t seem as healthy as fresh fruits and veggies. Try limiting your intake of food that comes from a package and shop fresher options. You will probably eat more but feel better.
Rose Nectar : add a drop in your water for or use as a toner for soothing skin redness and irritation
Hemp Seeds : Add a little to your morning breakfast for some amazing benefits
Dates : Another wellness and beauty favorite that has a slow sugar release

Molecular Genetics and Epigenetics
The accumulation of heritable genetic and epigenetic changes that result in loss of function of tumor suppressors and/or inappropriate activation of proto-oncogenes is a hallmark of cancer. The goals of the Molecular Genetics and Epigenetics Program (GEN) are to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie these defects and to uncover new targets for therapy, diagnosis, prognosis, and prevention. The Program capitalizes on the large number of outstanding investigators at UVA with research expertise in chromatin architecture, transcription, replication, mutation, repair, and cellular checkpoints in cancer. The Members are organized around three main themes:
- DNA function, malfunction, and cellular checkpoints
- Signaling, gene expression and epigenetics in cancer
- Bioinformatics: mining information from human genomes
The Program is led by P. Todd Stukenberg, PhD, a leader in the replication and cell cycle fields who has focused more recently on the role of microRNAs in tumorigenesis; and Jim Larner, MD, an expert in neuro-oncology and DNA damage-sensing pathways. Through its activities, GEN provides a formal mechanism for fostering intellectual exchange and collaboration among its Members. Many of the new Members bring considerable expertise in the bioinformatics of microarray and deep-sequencing data, large-scale genomic rearrangements (including aneuploidy), and the molecular effects of radiation and cellular responses to radiation. In addition, GEN has added a significant cohort of translational and clinical investigators whose research focus is on particular tumor types, including lung and brain tumors, or on radiation damage.

My blog has 30 followers, Ok I know one of them is me because I did something funny when I tried to comment about a comment, but I think that is quite impressive and I want to say thank you to you all, if you have been, for reading my blatherings. Some of you of course are old friends and family, some are new and some are complete strangers.It's so nice to meet you. There is quite an international spread, apart from good (?) old Blighty, I have readers in France, Germany, America and recently Australia. I apologise for all of my very culturally and age specific references - have you any idea who Cathy McGowan was for example? Well happy googling.
I know for the 30 brave souls who have actually attempted the sign up instructions there are as many, if not more, out there reading anonymously and so I am wondering if I can make a few bob out of this. You are quite a a market and I could raise something for cancer research or just my own restaurant trying fund. I am not a capitalist at heart but it's fun to think about which advertisers may be interested. Quite a few cancer sufferers so maybe wigs or funny hats; lot of you of a certain age so maybe the little blue pills. I could do a regular book review and get Amazon flashing up with " if you enjoyed this one why not try etc etc ". There are lots of food references so maybe Waitrose or Gordon Ramsey's food chain.
There would be that question of trust of course, did this scruff bag really own a Chanel suit or has she just had a backhander from whoever is now running Coco's empire? Did she really slather over that fish or is she getting a cutback on the next family outing? And anyway I am too lazy so no ads.
I do feel a responsibilty to you all, however, and wonder if I need to vary my input. It could be like the Saturday and Sunday supplements. I have made a start on a restaurant review, if I started something immediately after finishing the latest book and I could still remember the odd thing about it, I could write a review. I would try a sports page but don't feel my heart would be in it. Last few weeks would have been " John Terry - who?"; "Andy Murray - thank God and why is he speaking with that Mid-Atlantic accent"; Winter Olympics - "brr". Six Nations Rugby - " Suppose Jeremy is still worth a sidelong glance and maybe I can bother to drag up that fantasy about the tackle to the ground by a 16 stone mass of muscle at full speed, mmm.. with me making sure he stays just where he is?"
I do know that you are all cheering me along in my battle and my blogging so the latest post-chemo news. I only had the three sickies and I am no stranger to those as you now all know. The rest has been sort of rumblings and slight flutters held in chain by the Dom Perignon I am knocking back - old chemo takers joke I suspect, the anti-emetics are called Donperidone or some such chemical nonsense. Last night I made it out to Al Frash for our regular, but not too regular to make it boring, Friday curry. I stuck to the masalla fish and a bit of curried veg and that was no hardship, and only one glass of wine and it all stayed down albeit with a few protests in the night. I wore one of my new headwraps, just as a big headband, a) because ironically my hair needs cutting and it's driving me mad and b) to get my audience used to the Edith Sitwell look that will run alongside the muted down African headress one.
There is one person who does not read my blog, husband of nearly 42 years, Stewart. He says he can't and I don't think I could read his either. He is going to have to put up with more than Edith Sitwell and Winnie Mandela, a lot more and for one he is going to get the full boiled egg bald. But of course my boiled egg look, thanks to my new mate Gok, will be wondrously smooth, warm but cooling to the touch; inside the yolk will be luscious just waiting for a hot buttery soldier to pierce its very soul. And that readers is all you are getting from the "Adult" section of this week's supplements.

Limbeck is a new western style gin: 45% ABV. A gorgeously heady mix of Blue Ginger and citrus with Tarragon, Seville orange and Orris. Rested in recycled Burgundy French Oak Casks to develop a smooth texture. The oak casks leave a subtle peach colour, which will vary subtly with each batch, That’s craft!!!

I think for a sport bike rider a complete set of motorcycle gear consists of a helmet being number one of course, gloves, jacket, riding pants and a good pair of motorcycle boots. Me personally I prefer Icon or Alpinestars motorcycle gear
If you are going to go out there and mix it up in the streets I would recommend you wear all of that but I see guys all the time with a helmet and then a T-shirt and shorts. I think that’s going to be painful.
Just think about this logically, if you do go down for sure your legs, torso and hands are going to make contact with the road. So why not put a little cowhide between that road surface and your skin.
Now this is coming from someone that does take his life in to his own hands and rides with out a lid at times. My reasoning is probably crazy but I will do that but I wont ride without a jacket and gloves, just because 100percent of the time that is going to make contact with the road!
Don’t be cheap!
I know its easy especially these days to pinch every penny you can. Don’t do it on your motorcycle gear! You get what you pay for and if the gear is not of quality it will not hold up.
I have been witness to an incident where one of my friends went down wearing a cheap leather jacket and the thing just came apart upon impact and his road rash was not pretty kids!
So dont save there please! Eat the dollar menu and save your penny’s but when it comes to motorcycle gear buy brands that you can trust Alpinestars, Icon, AGV, Scorpion, ZR1 are a few that come to mind!
Now go play and keep it rubber side down!

Episode 34 of the Lu and Bean Read podcast features author Deborah Blumenthal and her picture book Fancy Party Gowns.
Deborah Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and nutritionist who now divides her time between writing children’s books and adult novels. She has been a regular contributor to The New York Times (including four years as the Sunday New York Times Magazine beauty columnist), and a home design columnist for Long Island Newsday. Her health, fitness, beauty, travel, and feature stories have appeared widely in many other newspapers and national magazines including New York’s Daily News, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Woman’s Day, Family Circle, Self, and Vogue. (Oh, and the Lu and Bean Read Podcast. Ahem.)
Deborah’s latest picture book Fancy Party Gowns is the stunningly beautiful biography of fashion designer Ann Cole Lowe. Among her many accomplishments, Ms. Lowe designed the wedding dress worn by Jacqueline Kennedy–but almost no one knew her name. Isn’t it beautiful (image thanks to InStyle).
Lu and Bean selected this book for the podcast because they were so intrigued by the challenges Ann overcame, the famous women she designed for, and the many ways she “thought about what she could do, not about what she couldn’t change.”

Pregnant Mom Likes Chemical-Free Treatment "I am seven months pregnant with my second child and I did not want to have chemicals around so I looked for an all natural alternative when my son got lice. The pediatrician suggested that I call LiceDoctors. I love that the process was a step-by-step approach and that the technician took her time to make sure that she got all of those eggs out of the head. She was really thorough and there are no more eggs or lice in sight! You rescued us and we are grateful!" - Callie P in Goshen , NY,
Nanny Gets Bonus "I am a nanny and the kids I look after came home from school with lice. The mom asked me to do research and find the best lice service out there.

This little piggy…Posted: May 12, 2011 | Author: pinkunderbelly | Filed under: breast cancer, food | Tags: Antibiotics, cancer battle, coconut cream pie, heavy metal, homemade pie, Justin Bieber, loss, Miley Cyrus, missing mom, pigs, post-mastectomy infection, slope-intercept formula, survivor, tattoos |8 Comments
I know I teased you yesterday by mentioning the new, custom logo for this little blog but not unveiling it until now. I’d say I’m sorry but it would be insincere. There are so few things over which I have control on this “cancer journey,” so when I can control something, like the timing of an unveiling, I will do it and do it unabashedly.
But now, without further ado, I give you the official logo of The Pink Underbelly.
There’s a lot of meaning contained in this little piggy. It’s a visual representation of the long & winding road that is my “cancer journey.”
The pig carries weight because it’s pink, the international visual cue of breast cancer. But more importantly, because pigs are very popular and prevalent animals in our house. Macy has loved pigs since a very young age and has fueled that love affair for all of her 9 years. Most little girls love horses or kittens or teddy bears, but my independent-thinking, devil-may-care girl marches to her own beat (usually loud and heavy-metalish. No Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus for her). Her love of pigs is so all-encompassing that several friends of mine have presented her with pig trinkets, from pens to tiny flashlights to coffee mugs, that they’ve seen out & about while doing their daily work or running errands, and when they see a pig, they think of Macy. Love that.
David, my art consultant for this little blog, put a lot of thought into the pig’s tattoos. Since he did the heavy lifting, he should get to explain it:
“The angel wings are for Barb (cuz I believe in them), but I also added a MOM heart (cuz you don’t). The USDA bacteria free logo is to celebrate your being taken off antibiotics. The breast cancer awareness ribbon is frayed on the ends to represent your struggle. The barbed wire (also a Barb reference) is just to be a bad-ass. The slope-intercept formula, I added for sentimental reasons.”
Editor’s note: Barb is my mom’s name, and David knew her before cancer snatched her away from us and so callously extinguished the bright light that she was. Anyone who knew her loved her, and David is no exception. That he chose to honor her makes my sad heart smile a little, because it’s just so stinkin’ unfair that she’s not here with me, especially now that I’m in the winner’s circle after the brutal battle that was Nancy vs. Breast Cancer, and then because one brutal battle wasn’t enough, Nancy vs. Mycobacterium. One thing my sweet mama loved was a party, and being the consummate hostess-with-the-mostess, I think she would have thrown me one hell of a victory party, with enough homemade coconut cream pie for everyone.
Because I’m feeling generous, and because my mama would want it this way, I’ll share her coconut cream pie recipe. If you want it, let me know. If you can figure out how to make her crust taste like she did, definitely let me know, and I will be at your house with a fork. If you need help with the slope-intercept formula, talk to David. I had a lot of trouble with that one, back in the day.
I’ll take a stab at that crust! And we can all get fat while I try again and again.
Keith, the recipe is in your inbox. Good luck! Can’t wait to hear (and taste) how it turns out.
Love the pig…love the designs! Great job!! It’s so YOU!!
And I love that I don’t have to actually get any of those tattoos. Way too many needles in my life already!
It would be unfair to call you a big baby after all you’ve been through, but tattoos are no more painful than a sunburn and stop hurting much faster.
Love the pig. Loved your momma. Would love to make her pie for Stevie, he really loved her AND her pie. I know I can’t do the pie justice, but I would love to have the recipe
. I think I will crack open some champagne in your honor to celebrate all of your good news!!! Love comin’ your way from East 53rd Street! Sus
Pig tattoos for everyone! I say we all get some ink, and David is right that they don’t hurt. C’mon, before the kids beat ya to it.
Anyway, love the post, the logo, Barb, and the image of pie for everyone.
This is really cool! And yes, please oh please send me the recipe – though I could never in a million years hope to make a crust like your mom’s, maybe I’d at least have a chance with the filling after a few tries.

The Unbreakable City
The Battle of Stalingrad began in August 1942, subjecting its residents to months of living hell. But few doubted that the city was worth defending; its significance to the Soviet project made it too important to abandon.
In August 1942 Maria Chuprina had just turned 13. A native of Stalingrad, Maria had spent the first year of war on the Eastern Front going about her business much as normal. While she worried about her father, who was fighting the Wehrmacht in Ukraine, Maria continued to attend school and her mother kept going to work as a nurse. On the morning of 23 August Maria awoke in the apartment she shared with her mother and uncle. Drinking tea and relaxing at home after enjoying another day of the summer holidays, she had little idea of the horror that was about to unfold: ‘The sky grew dark. We just assumed clouds were covering the sun. And then the bombing started.’

As kitschy as it is, I have always been a fan of horoscopes and fortune telling- a la Tarot, Astrology (of the Celtic Tree, Chinese, and Western types), and Numerology. Just for kicks and giggles, I thought I would make a Berkeley horoscope based on months and Berkeley icons. See which one you are and what this month has in store for you!
This is when the fall semester starts, so obvi that is when the Berkeley Horoscope begins.
The Sign of the Sather Gate
Ever the one to love the smell of freshly shaved pencils and a good BBQ, you personify the beauty of a transition from summer to school. Filled with energy and a can- do attitude, you are the one to watch for in class. You will dominate any discussion section with your fast intellect and your insightful points. Being the social creature that you are, you love hanging around people and getting involved.
Key words- Spotlight, Extravert, Energy
Lucky Number- 10
Bitchin’ Hangout- Triple Rock- laid back in vibe, but high energy with tons of people!
Tip for the month- Watch out! You will burn out quickly if you push yourself too hard. Take it easy, hang out with some friends and do a group study sess- will you keep you focused, but not hyperventilating!
The Sign of Stanley Hall
Practical and grounded, you enjoy the beauty of precision, whether it be in your homework or in your apparel. You enjoy setting a good study routine for yourself to ensure that you get what you need to get done, done (or extreme panic time will ensue!). Health conscious, you tend to provide yourself ample time to go to the RSF or Berkeley Bowl because you know that when your body is doing well, so can your mind.
Key words- Sensible, Decisive, Detail- Oriented
Lucky Number- 4
Bitchin’ Hangout- Cafe Milano- close to campus, wifi enabled… good place to hang or study!
Tip for the month- Being the perfectionist that you are, you may think that good isn’t good enough. Instead of antagonizing over your issue, go out on a walk. Get that blood flowing and that brain juice bubbling!
The Sign of the Boalt Hall
You prefer to remain balanced and settled, so when things start to get bumpy… the heart starts a’ racing. You like things objective, fair, and diplomatic, aka hate conflict. Persuasive and charming, you can finesse them grades if need be! You love reading classical literature, going to museums, and listening to underground bands. Coffee is also definitely a must! Your perfect night is a quiet one with close friends, just talking and sharing a wine or a microbrew.
Key words- Tasteful, Diplomatic, Artsy
Lucky Number- 3
Bitchin’ Hangout- PIQ- with its high quality food and coffee, its clean and super airy atmosphere, it is a good place to study, relax, and people watch.
Tip for the month- You have a tendency to get stuck in your head and build mountains out of molehills. Relax, panicking will get you nowhere! Make yourself a happy place by listening to some of your favorite music while studying.
The Sign of the Heyns Reading Room
Powerful and ambitious, you always have your eye on the prize and you won’t take no for an answer. You go back and forth, from extroverted to introverted — depending on which side of the bed you woke up this morning. Since you are extremely intense and passionate, you are an exciting (if not enticing) date. However, you can also get a little dark and secretive, retreating into Main Stacks once you have had your fill of the outside world.
Key words- Intense, Determined, Complex
Lucky Number- 22
Bitchin’ Hangout- Thalassa- A dark and spacious bar where you can either drink with your friends or play a game of pool.
Tip for the month- Your intensity will start to boil this month, especially if things don’t go your way. Instead of adamantly attacking the same problem over and over again, take a breather and collect yourself. You will do a lot better once you have cleared your head.
The Sign of the Main Stacks
Wanderer and truth seeker, you are a bit of a dark horse. You want to know, in every sense of the word! You find yourself trying to understand your life, especially in the grand scheme of things. This usually means that you are one to keep quiet in most classes, keenly interested in the dialectic of your peers, but then you surprise others once you open your mouth and voice the conclusions you’ve arrived at.

What is Financial Planning and Analysis?
There is no specific definition for Financial Planning and Analysis at the moment. Wikipedia defines Financial Planning as “the task of determining how a business will afford to achieve its strategic goals and objectives.”
Financial Planning and Analysis provides decision support to the management in visualizing short term and long term objectives, assessing their viability and ensuring their fulfillment through continuous monitoring. Financial Planning and Analysis is the function that helps management take important decisions pertaining to the profitability and other financial health of the organization. It also provides sufficient information to the management in envisioning the future.
Elements of Financial Planning and Analysis:
The basic elements of Financial Planning and Analysis are forecasting, budgeting, reporting and analysis. But it could also include other areas such as resource allocation, IT support, Operations support and HR support. Each of the individual elements is a subject in itself. However, let’s attempt to understand the core elements in brief with day-to-day examples.
All of us have some amount of savings and we want to invest it somewhere. What do we do as the first step? We shortlist some companies based on their past performances, extrapolate their past performance and see what is the amount that we can make out of the money invested. This is akin to Forecasting – an integral part of Financial Planning and Analysis.
In the context of a corporation, forecasting can be defined as the periodic prediction of future trends considering the current internal and external factors. Usually, this is done by analyzing and extrapolating the past results and applying known anomalies to past trends.
We all budget our expenses. At the beginning of every month, we draw up our expense statements and determine the amount we can afford to spend what we’d like to save.
In a corporate scenario, budgeting involves drawing out a detailed financial plan and establishing a goal for the future period. It usually details the various financial elements and its drivers considering the capabilities of the business. This activity is done before the beginning of the year and is drawn out by month.
At periodic intervals, we all get appraisals at our workplace or we get to attend the PTA meetings at our child’s school. What we get to hear is a summary of past performances and our standing with respect to expectations.
In a corporate scenario, we engage in reporting to measure the events in a particular period. Reporting can be defined as providing of information at periodic intervals to various stake-holders that enables them to take important decisions. Stake-holders include management, business partners, investors, creditors and debtors. Information could be related to past performance, future plan, strategy, objective and market standing among others.
When we overspend, we try to see where we are over-spending, what expenses can be controlled, and how we strayed from what we initially planned. This is essentially an analysis of household expenses.
In a corporate world, financial analysis can be defined as assessment of the financial aspects of an organization including deployment of funds, profitability, investor protection, business viability and market standing. It usually involves the understanding of ratios, comparisons with Budgets and Forecasts and detailed study of the financial statements. This activity not only helps understand the problems and provide decision support, but also visualizes opportunities and ensures better performance.
Financial Planning and Analysis in Corporate World:
In a corporate scenario, Financial Planning and Analysis function usually comes under the direct purview of the Chief Financial Officer or the Director – Finance. The activity involves liaison with various departments, understanding their functions, their impact on the Business and providing support to take important business decisions.
The core Financial Planning and Analysis team caters to various departments like the Finance, Operations, HR, Corporate, Procurement, Quality, Sales and Marketing etc. In short, Financial Planning and Analysis function is that thread of every organization that beads various departments together and ensures achievement of their common goal. In addition to providing timely reports and analysis, Financial Planning and Analysis also provides support for redesigning the systems used for accounting, reporting etc.
Financial Planning and Analysis is set up by every Product and Line of Business in an organization. In some cases, it is also sub-divided by function and areas in which the business is carried on. In fairly large organizations, there are different people sourcing to different sub-divisions and conversely, in small organizations, one person caters to all divisions.
Why Financial Planning and Analysis?
To summarize the points discussed above, a few important reasons why Financial Planning and Analysis is required in organizations:
Financial Planning and Analysis aids in –
- Envisioning the short-term and long-term objectives
- Driving performance
- Meeting and overachieving Internal and external expectations
- Timely identification and correction of financial or operational concerns
- Understanding the reasons for variances to expectations
- Strategic analysis
- Identifying opportunities and providing decision support to capitalize them
Outsourcing Financial Planning and Analysis:
Financial Planning and Analysis is now being outsourced to other countries and there are fairly large organizations that now have their Financial Planning and Analysis setup in India. Financial Planning and Analysis function requires being closely associated with the Business and also requires involvement with many departments. Hence, Financial Planning and Analysis in India is now becoming a little more than an accounting job, unless reasonable analysis is involved.
To overcome this, it is very important for the offshore Financial Planning and Analysis Analyst to allocate quality time to analysis and to ensure that we do not get too caught up between deadlines and mundane activities. It is also imperative for the offshore qnalyst to maintain contacts with the business as proximity will be a challenge. Regular visits to the business concern, wherever possible, will help.
The advantages of having an offshore Financial Planning and Analysis are numerous. Offshore Financial Planning and Analysis activities not only ensure cost savings but also help in standardization. The assumptions underlying the financial reports are standard across all products and regions. Also, Forecasting and Budgeting are processes involving assumptions about future events. Catering to these requirements in a unified manner ensures that all the assumptions are standard.
Financial Planning and Analysis is a very dynamic and interesting function of finance. It requires the analyst to be deeply involved with the business and to understand not only the numbers, but also the science of running the business. It is therefore, very important for the analysts to understand the business before jumping into the numbers in order to keep the essence of “A” in Financial Planning and Analysis alive.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender And Queer Grantmaking By U.S. Foundations
Published: May 15, 2017
Author(s): Andrew Wallace, Ben Francisco Maulbeck, Lyle Matthew Kan
The 2015 Tracking Report (2017) explores the scope and character of foundation funding for LGBTQ issues in the calendar year 2015. The report analyzes 5,267 grants from 334 foundations, making it the most comprehensive assessment of LGBTQ funding available.
In 2015, funding for LGBTQ issues reached a record high of $160.7 million. The report notes significant increases in funding for trans communities, grantmaking to address criminalization and criminal justice reform, and support for LGBTQ communities in the U.S. South.
The report finds the overall field of LGBTQ philanthropy widening slightly to include a larger number of funders. However, growth slowed to less than 5 percent — as opposed to nearly 20 percent growth noted in the 2014 Tracking Report — on account of several core funders decreasing the depth of their support for LGBTQ issues.

Handsome Gong Yoo was seen with his hands covering his red face in a still cut.
As their spirits exchanged due to a coincidental accident, Seo Yoon-jae found out the hospital where Kang Kyeong-joon lay unconscious. He then found a poster with his face on it in the hospital. It was where he used to work.
Gong Yoo tried out his first comical act in his acting career. Possessed as the eighteen-year-old adolescent teenager who can't wait to grow up, Gong Yoo stuck to the wall and couldn't help but be shocked at the poster of his face on the hospital wall.
He covered his face with his hands then with his T-shirt in case someone sees him and does other unexplainable things on the wall and gets a telling off by Gil Da-ran (Lee Min-jeong).
Gong Yoo reduced his weight and is taking care of his hair and costume for the drama. He is so good at being comical that it's too bad we're seeing it only now.
"Big" will be aired on the first week of June.

Miami Beach High End Real Estate Market Overview by Top Producer Nelson GonzalezMay 22, 2017
In this overview on the luxury real estate market we wanted to give you a brief update on the ultra-high-end luxury real estate market in Miami Dade County; how it all began and where we are now. The price range that we will consider for this ultra-high-end market segment is $20M and over.
Miami wasn’t always the destination for luxury buyers for ultra-high-end real estate. Up until recent years, Miami did not have this type of luxury real estate product available. It all started in 2004 when wealthy buyers from around the world started to target Miami’s waterfront mansions due to Florida’s tax benefits and the lifestyle that Miami Beach offered.
Year 2006 is the year when the Miami Beach area saw its first closed sale over $20M with the sale of 12 Indian Creek Island Road for $22.5M, in which Nelson Gonzalez represented the Buyer. The first sale for Miami Dade County over $20M was 2 years earlier in 2004 with the sale of 1 Arvida Parkway at $20.6M. In the time from 2004 to 2012 Miami Dade recorded a total of 6 sales over $20M which amounts to an average of 1 sale over $20M each year. Starting in year 2012 this number tripled and from 2012 until present Miami Dade has been recording an average of 3 sales over $20M per year. The total number of sold single-family waterfront homes over $20M for Miami Dade County so far is 27. Nelson Gonzalez has personally sold 8 of the 27 homes closed over $20M. Throughout the years, the inventory levels for this market segment have been slowly increasing, but increasing at a higher rate than demand. In 2017 inventory levels for this market show an increase of nearly 300% compared to 9 years ago. The silver lining is that demand for high end real estate and the number of sold luxury homes has also been increasing. Year 2017 started off great for this market segment with already 3 closed sales of $20M+, in which Nelson Gonzalez represented the buyer in 2 of the sales. As of June 2017, in Miami Dade there are 31 single-family waterfront homes for sale with an asking price of $20M+. Although demand and sales have increased, inventory levels for this type of luxury real estate are still high for such a small market segment and it may take some time before that inventory burns off and the real estate market stabilizes.

Days after a Tulsa man was shot and killed by a police officer, the city’s police department has deleted its Twitter account after receiving dozens of hateful and violent messages.
A Twitter search for @TulsaPolice now brings up an error page.
Many of the tweets directed at the department slurred the officer who fired the fatal shot, Officer Betty Shelby. Shelby is currently on paid administrative leave as an investigation into the shooting continues.
A number of other tweets referred to the Police department as racists and murders, and others directly threatened the department.
Tulsa Police say they will continue to inform the public on social media via Facebook.
