The best dressed list for Spring
Spring is officially upon us in Southern California and cold winter days (yes, temps actually dipped below 70) are behind us! As you all know, I am a huge dress lover and this one in particular feels more elevated than its price tag. The handkerchief hem & slight puff sleeves are just the right amount of detail to take this lightweight cotton blend dress from everyday to elevated chic; I love that it has hidden side pockets as an added bonus! I’ve styled this particular dress two different ways, as seen below and with white mules & a skinny white belt and I’m looking forward to dressing it down for lunch dates with trainers and a denim jacket!

It’s hard enough to get toddlers to bathe, allow you to change their diapers, and eat the right things for their growing bodies! And on top of all of this, your dentist wants you to do what? Brush their teeth for two minutes, two times a day? And floss? Clearly that dentist has never encountered most toddlers right before bedtime!
Tips on Brushing your children’s teeth and flossing
Don’t fret; we have some really fun and unique ways to help make brush time one of your child’s favorite routines! If you and your toddler have ever come to visit Dr. Khoury at The Brush Stop Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, you have probably seen her perform what is called a “knee to knee exam.” Your toddler will be facing you, sitting on your lap, and is leaned back into the doctor’s lap so that she will get a great “dentist’s point of view” of your child’s mouth, shares Dr. Khoury, Pediatric Dentist in Del Mar region.
This can easily be repeated at home, such that while one person is playing and distracting the child, the other person is brushing and flossing. We suggest singing songs, like the ABC’s, just remember that once you reach the end of the song the routine is over.
If only one adult is available, then the floor and your lap can be your best friend! Have the child lay down with their head in your lap, and legs out in front. Allow them to play with a book, or toy, and let the singing and brushing begin!
The first week may be difficult, but as you continue down with this routine, children will adapt easily, and it will become part of their routine, and dare I say, an enjoyable experience for child and parents!?
Please do not forget to floss! Your child may have space in the front of their teeth, but by age three, the spaces in the back begin to close. So incorporating flossing at this stage, will make flossing in the future seamless.
Getting a teenager to brush and floss? Well, that’s a whole other blog post! 🙂

Hello, I’m Daniel Westfall on the channel “Pray With Me”.
Today, we look at the Gospel of John.
The Book of John starts at the same place as the Book of Genesis: back in the beginning. Genesis says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” John says, “In the beginning was the word. . . Through him all things were created.”
In Genesis when God started speaking, his first words were: “Let there be light.” In John when God sent his word into the world, it says, “In him was life and that life was the light of every human.” Twice, God sent his light into the darkness..
And when God sends light into darkness, things happen! At creation, the darkness of chaos surrendered to the light of God. In John’s Gospel we expect a similar result. When God sent Jesus as light of the world, human darkness should be swept away and human chaos should surrender to the light and life of God.
But that did not happen. John says, “Christ the true light came into the world, but the world did not know him. He came to his own and his own did not receive him.” God sent Jesus to light up the world, but the world just shrugged and continued in darkness.
What went wrong? Did God’s word lose its power somewhere between Creation and Christ? When God sent Christ, was he too weak to turn on the light in a way that would get noticed? The new beginning in John’s gospel suddenly feels like a bad Hollywood sequel. The original movie was great. but the best thing about sequel was munching on popcorn.
John explores this problem in his gospel. He tells stories about people who met Jesus, but they thought the new light was just a bad reflection, or they thought Jesus was just darkness in disguise. But John also tells stories about people who saw and responded to the new light.
Our father, we rejoice in the light of each new day. It reminds of that first day when you said, “Let there be light.” But we wonder why the light of Christ does not transform our lives. Why are there so many dark corners the light doesn’t find? Why do our character flaws and habits not change in all our years of being Christians? As John said, The light has come into our darkness, but the darkness does not understand it. “Christ came to his own and they did not receive him. But to those who did receive him, he gave the right to become children of God” (Jn 1:12). Yes Jesus, we receive you again. We receive your light. Light up our lives with your presence, expose our darkness and drive it away. May today be our day of new creation and new light.
I’m Daniel on the channel “Pray with Me”.

Dating Dilemmas: Do's and Don't's
When starting a new relationship it makes sense we would want to put our best face forward. Women may choose to withhold or avoid sharing their feelings for fear of losing the relationship, particularly in the formative stages. While we do not need to externally process every thought or feeling we might have with the guy we are dating, there is a problem when withholding might lead to painting a dishonest and incongruent picture of self or the relationship. If we fear losing the relationship, and we are not being our self – who is really in the relationship?
Often times we resist confrontation because we see it as a negative and we want to avoid conflict, especially in a new relationship. Reframe the situation as sharing your feelings with him (vs. confronting him on something he did wrong). This gives him the opportunity to move closer to you versus putting him on the defensive. It is also positive to focus and reinforce the behavior you do like (i.e. his calling).
When something is bothering you, do your self a favor and don’t deny or dismiss it. If you do tell him things are fine – figure out how to be fine with it (i.e. process it on your own); if you find yourself ruminating on it, don’t delay communicating with him as that delay could breed resentment or withdraw (neither of which create a fertile ground for a developing relationship).
Here are some tips when approaching difficult issues in a new relationship:
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Do keep perspective. If you like someone, but you don’t like a particular behavior and/ or you were hurt by a specific situation, ask yourself, “Is this is a situational problem or a relationship problem?” If it is situational, deal with the situation and don’t put the relationship on the chopping block. If it relational, decide if it is a “deal breaker” or not.
Don’t belabor the point. Do be open and upfront. In other words, be assertive. For instance, if you were disappointed he did not call when he said he would, tell him that, “I was disappointed when you did not call” – and then move on, let him know you were happy when he did call. It is not uncommon to be repetitive and get stuck in angry and hurt feelings. However, this does not serve you and it does not allow for him to move closer to you. He cannot change these past actions and you get to decide if you are willing to give him the space to make different choices in the future. And if he chooses not to, consider if this is someone with whom you want to continue a relationship. And remember, people often react not to what is said, but how something is said (i.e. are you being critical).
Don’t initiate the conversation with “we need to talk.” Do make sure he is available to listen and then share your feelings. When we do the former, it tends to create anticipation (anxiety) and expectation of outcome (defensiveness). Instead, just focus on how you are feeling, what you are reacting to (I feel ______________ when you ____________ ), and do so without expectation of how he should be feeling, acting or thinking. Be sure to let him know what you want from him, for instance, I just want you to listen or let him know if there is something for him to “fix” (a behavior change request).
Don’t make assumptions. Do ask about his thoughts and feelings. Invite him to share his perspective/ reaction. This reinforces open communication and willingness to hear/consider both “sides”, that there is balance in the relationship.
There are a lot of unknowns when beginning any new relationship and that can contribute to anxiety. Often, in order to minimize that anxiety, we might try to give ourselves a ‘reason’ the other person did or did not do something. For example, “He did not call because he really doesn’t like me.” Rather than think negative thoughts, acknowledge the anxiety and try not to get stuck on the negative attribution. Soothe yourself. Acknowledge your hurt feelings or anxiety about him (not) calling. Understand you feel disappointment because you are excited and that could lead to being in a vulnerable state. Work towards assigning neutral meaning to his behavior (since you do not know the root of his behavior until you discuss it). When you can soothe yourself you are less likely to hold the expectation for him to be “responsible” for soothing you.
Always remember - Love, honor and respect yourself first. If (subconsciously) you do not think you are worthy of having a healthy relationship or sharing hurt feelings, then what kind of man do you have the potential of attracting…?

INA, Ill. (Jan. 2, 2014) - For anyone interested in a career in health care, the new Community Health Care course at Rend Lake College is just what the doctor ordered. Class begins Jan. 13 and some spots remain available.
The health care industry is rapidly changing from a system of treating diseases to preventing them from happening in the first place. Community Health Care gives interested individuals the foundation for a future career in the health care industry. It also provides great information for family members caring for elderly or sick relatives.
“The health care field is still seeing rapid growth in terms of occupations,” said Kim Robert, Dean of RLC’s Allied Health Division. “Health care coaching is just another aspect of that, as new jobs and disciplines emerge. St. Mary’s Good Samaritan sees a need for health care coaches, and we are glad to work with them to develop the training for it.”
Health care coaches, also known as wellness coaches or health coaches, will help individuals implement the activities and plans the patient creates with his or her nurse, social worker or other clinician. Ultimately, the goal of the health care coach is to motivate and lead his or her clients to positive behavioral change and better health. At St. Mary’s Good Samaritan, health coaches act as liaisons between patients and clinicians and help implement clinical changes to improve the daily lives of patients. Community Health Care is a study of key issues and focuses on developing practical approaches to supporting patients. The class will be held from 1-4 p.m. on Mondays beginning January 13 and will run through May 12 at the Rend Lake College MarketPlace in Mt. Vernon. Spots are still available.
After completing the course participants will work with one or two patients, under the direction and supervision of the clinical staff of St. Mary’s Good Samaritan. This semester internship provides invaluable real-world experience with people in need.
Topics covered will include: challenges of delivering adequate health care in communities; population medicine; specific problems posed by diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease; ethical dimensions of the concept of “underinsurance”; community medicine and the law; methods of improving compliance, and measuring outcomes. The classroom course format is three hours of lecture, while the internship period with St. Mary’s Good Samaritan is in-the-field and may include accompanying individuals to doctor’s appointments, going to individuals’ homes to assist in a healthy home set up, and providing reinforcement of directions given by health care providers.
The class is a good fit for those interested in the growing field of health care coaching. It was developed in partnership with St. Mary’s Good Samaritan. According to Michelle Darnell, Vice President of Systems Improvement at St. Mary’s Good Samaritan, “Health coaches are an extremely valuable addition to our health care team. They extend clinical care beyond the walls of hospitals and physician offices by assisting individuals to optimize their quality of life.”
Darnell adds, “Because we believe the skills of health coaches are critical to our success and in keeping patients and our community healthy, we will be offering individuals who complete the course and internship a guarantee for an interview when they apply for a position in our facilities.”
For more information or to register for Community Health Care, contact the Rend Lake College Allied Health Division at 618-437-5321, Ext. 1251, or at .

Added Nov 11, 2012
A very simple vest top with a low v back and velvet trim. I drew the pattern myself using an old top. I love the simplicity of the shape and it was so quick and easy to make!
Bought from the scrap bin of a fabric shop for next to nothing! Not sure what it is, a man made fabric with a slight sheen.

If you're a fan of Japanese porn, then the term "idol" will mean something to you. This is actually a common word used in Japan to describe stars in the world of music and movies. You'll also notice that many performers are referred to as "AV idols." Shit, are we in class or something? You came here to learn about Idols 69, so let's get down to business.
The Idols69 chicks are really good at what they do, so they should be looked up to like any other idol. They are also all Asian, so if hot Japanese chicks strike your fancy then prepare to be striking your fancy good and hard. These are real native babes speaking their own language and fucking Japanese dudes.
This site has a huge collection to look through. There are over 9,585 videos and 434 photo sets. Although the amount of movies has increased, the number of pic sets has actually decreased since our last visit, so I don't think that section is updating at all these days, whereas you'll get multiple new videos on a daily basis.
The pictures are crisp and clear and the videos tend to offer great-quality playback, though there are some that are less impresive and others that are more impressive, including ones in HD. The flicks are downloadable as full-length MP4 files (they are marked as different formats, but when you download them they are all MP4s). You can also stream each one in an embedded player.
There are lots of blurred genitals here, as is common in Japanese porn, but there is a specific category called "uncensored movies." Now, while you will find uncensored vids in that section, I also found censored ones in the mix, so be aware of that.
Scenes include group, solo, one-on-one, anal, oral and more. They come with a write-up, but often the scenario isn't really played out. The reason for the lack of thematic consistency probably has to do with the fact that not all the content is exclusive. The site claims to produce some of the porn, but there is also some taken from DVDs.
You get even more content on top of this huge collection, because your membership gives you access to the All Japanese Pass network of 20+ sites. Anal Nippon, JP Teacher, J Schoolgirls and JP Nurse are just a few of the sites you can check out.
In the end, Idols 69 has a huge collection of high-quality porn and enough theme-related bonuses to please any Asian porn lover. The website is definitely worth joining.

The roots of m&s music can be traced back to the year 1991. It was originally founded in the heart of Frankfurt as a studio for musicians and to compose music arrangements for advertisement campaigns like Marlboro, Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, Blaupunkt and many more.
After relocating in 1994, the studio was expanded with a vocal booth for singers and voice actors. Shortly after this, localizing video games became a new field of work in the studio and it soon turned out to be the main focus of our work.
In 2003 the studio moved to Offenbach and due to the growing demands of the video game market, m&s music was further expanded in 2006 with a second recording studio. With a transition of the management in 2007, the creative portfolio of the studio was extended by offering lip-synch dubbing for movies, TV series and cartoons as well as audio support for museums, theatres and events.
According to the steadily increasing requirements we decided to move again in 2016 and extended our facilities with a third recording studio. Together with another transition in the management in the same year, the studio is now situated on the landmarked complex of the Hassia Factory in Offenbach, giving the studio its actual “face”.

While reading The Star this morning after breakfast, I found this message in the Opinion section:
Be aware of risks when investing in unit trusts
WE REFER to the letter, “EPF should not allow use of funds to buy unit trusts” (The Star, Feb 22).
The Employees Provident Fund is sympathetic to Sad Retiree’s experience. While it is the EPF’s responsibility to ensure that members have sufficient funds for their basic retirement needs, it must also be responsive to the needs of its members who wish to diversify their investment options.
The members’ investment withdrawal was designed to give members, who already have a sufficient amount in their EPF savings, an alternative to invest part of their savings in unit trusts through approved fund managers.
However, members must be reminded that investments made on their own, while potentially able to generate higher returns, are also subject to higher risks.
The choice to apply for the withdrawal depends on each individual’s risk-return profile. Members who are not confident about investing on their own should always opt to leave their savings with the EPF.
The EPF would like to encourage members who are considering the members’ investment withdrawal to seek professional advice and be fully aware of all the risks involved before making a decision.
NIK AFFENDI JAAFAR, Senior Manager, Public Relations, Employees Provident Fund, Kuala Lumpur.
It was a response to another message in the Opinion published last Wednesday:
EPF should not allow use of funds to buy unit trusts
IT is about time the Employees Provident Fund withdrew the provision allowing members to use their EPF funds to buy unit trusts.
This is to safeguard ignorant investors from losing their life savings.
Investing in unit trusts is the same as dabbling in the share market. In fact, it is worse because the investors are at the mercy of a third party (the fund managers) who are supposed to make money for them by investing prudently in the share market and such.
I lost about RM30,000 using my EPF fund to buy unit trusts the values of which have mostly dwindled, and that, too, from reputable unit trust companies.
I invested in unit trusts 10 years ago, and now approaching 55, I feel so sad with the loss.
After all, the role of the EPF is to protect contributors and ensure they have sufficient funds for retirement.
SAD RETIREE, Kuala Lumpur
I believe it is the duty of the EPF (Employees Provident Fund) organization to advise their members on the risks involved in taking out their hard earned money and hand it to these eager unit trust agents. Some of the these unsuspecting souls could be sold easily to the sweet promise of high returns promised to them. It is not in the agents’ interest to dwell too much on the risks because they are after the commission from the sales. Of course, we are expected to read the prospectus completely, but how many of us read all of the fine prints before signing above the dotted lines?

Clemons will try to bounce back as sophomore
This is the second in a series previewing the Kentucky football team's 2012 roster by examining young players who made their mark this season. Today's installment in on running back. The backfield was racked by injuries in 2011, but no player was hit harder than the powerful back who is our focus today.
Name: Josh Clemons
Rivals 2011 recruiting rating: 3-star (5.6)
Height: 5-10 Weight: 201
2012 class: True sophomore
What he did in 2011:
It only took one game for Clemons to seize the starting tailback job. With redshirt sophomore Raymond Sanders injured early in the season, Clemons became the Wildcats' top tailback. He had 14 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown in just his second collegiate game, against Central Michigan. Included in that was an 87-yard touchdown run that accounted for 2.8 percent of Kentucky's offense on the entire year and nearly six percent of its entire rushing total in 2011.
He didn't show that kind of explosiveness again, but he had double-digit carries in four of the first five games while chipping in as a kick returner when Sanders was injured as well. Then he suffered a torn meniscus in the first half of Kentucky's 54-3 beatdown at South Carolina on Oct. 8. He underwent surgery and missed the end of the year.
His final numbers weren't gaudy, and the Central Michigan game was the only time he averaged more than 3.5 yards per carry. Still, he was running behind a banged-up offensive line while he was healthy, and defenses were able to stack the box on the Wildcats all season. He showed the ability to be an every-down back as his receiving and blocking improved as the year went on. His toughness was unquestioned, as he refused to let the coaches know he had injured himself against the Gamecocks, and that was visible every time he touched the ball.
Final statistics: 65 carries, 279 yards, two touchdowns, four receptions, 53 yards.
What he'll do in 2012:
Clemons should be healthy in time for spring practice and he'll be back in the mix to start at running back immediately. There will be a trio of backs with starting experience for Kentucky returning in 2011 (upperclassmen Sanders and CoShik Williams included), but there was a point in 2011 where he had beaten out both those players and he'll have every chance to do it again.
Losing Clemons hurt the offense greatly. Williams is an adequate player and Jonathan George filled in as well, but Clemons is probably the toughest player the Wildcats have to tackle. He runs low, is shiftier than defenders think, and has the speed to build up a head of steam and knock defenders backward. He might be the most talented player in the Kentucky backfield, though it's hard to judge based on half a season of production.
Clemons could easily be the starting tailback on opening day in 2012. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Sanders and Williams could pass him up, but he's probably too talented for that to happen. Expect to see a lot more of him in 2012, and his production should increase if he can stay healthy and the offense improves as a unit.
Also look out for:
Fellow 2011 signee Marcus Caffey was expected to play early in the year, coaches said, but injuries slowed him in fall camp. Even as he recovered, there was no chance for him to play early in the season when Kentucky had close nonconference games against Western Kentucky and Central Michigan. He ended up redshirting, but drew rave reviews from teammates for his performance on the scout team. The backfield will be crowded in 2011, but he'll have a chance to make some noise.
Fullback D.J. Warren stepped in and became Kentucky's top fullback from the beginning of fall camp. He'll keep his starting job in 2012, and it's possible he'll see more time going forward. Warren was only on the field in specific situations as a true freshman as the offense featured two tight ends frequently, but the departure of senior Nick Melillo could help him see the field more. He was also learning a new position as a freshman. Warren spent most of his high school career as a tailback and defensive end, so he had a steep learning curve as he learned to become a lead blocker.

If dating is going to be like an interview, and the afterglow is going to be a performance review, I need to see a resume.
A sexual resume might come in handy with modern dating. Every date I’ve had in the last three years since I’ve been divorced has been comparable to an interview. A few times it even crossed into interrogation territory, but mostly I’ve felt being interviewed as a prospective girlfriend, wife, and even mother or step-mother.
Then there’s the afterglow, which has definitely become a performance review. We’re supposed to be able to rank the experience, and any negative (I mean, constructive) feedback needs to be delivered between compliments if delivered at all. I feel like if we have to ask how it was, it probably wasn’t great.
When it comes to relationships and sexual encounters, it seems like we need a resume or CV more than just pictures and profiles. We need one that would tell us a little more about sexuality in terms of skills, techniques, and experience. A resume would certainly be preferable to a d*ck picture. We can take a picture of our genitalia, but it doesn’t mean we are capable of effectively operating it or are skilled at operating our partner’s.
There are many factors to include in this sort of resume when looking for a partner:
What are your skill sets, for instance? Are you a fast learner? Are you able to multitask? Tell me about your attention to detail. What experience do you have?
There are certainly encounters I’ve had where I wished later that I had asked for references first. I’ve met the occasional person who seemed a bit overqualified for my tastes (no judgment—only use a bit more discretion in bragging about it) and some who needed a lot more training, education, or experience to be suitable for the role. If we could just screen some of these factors, dating would be easier!
If we had that initial resume to go on, the first date interview could be more straightforward. We could get down to business and not have to suffer through applicants without a chance in hell. First, we could screen out the most undesirable candidates and narrow it down to those who have real potential for us. Then, we could start out with the follow-up questions:
What makes you think you’d be a good fit for this role? Why are you more qualified than other applicants?
It would save us all a lot of bad sex if we could ask a few of these things upfront.
But, of course, we all know that people lie and exaggerate on resumes, so we shouldn’t expect a sexual resume to be any different. We can assume that people will enhance their skills, experience, and other attributes in order to be seen favorably in comparison to other candidates.
An initial screening process may need to take place, but we can at least figure out if potential dates can spell and use proper grammar and punctuation. We might be able to screen out those who don’t know the difference between two, to, and too or their, they’re, and there. We could assess some initial compatibility, and perhaps follow it up with a screening questionnaire to evaluate shared sexual interests.
The truth is that a sexual resume sounds ideal. It’s an amusing idea anyway and one that might help save us a little time. Since it’s not a thing not yet anyway, we’ll have to go through the process of evaluating potential partners the old-fashioned way, which doesn’t seem very old-fashioned anymore.
For me, I like to screen out people who send me unsolicited d*ck pics, heavy innuendo, and who are incapable of carrying on an actual conversation. Even when we’re looking for sex, there’s nothing wrong with wanting compatibility and connection with it.
The truth is that we often have to evaluate sex based on the actual experience because a lot of partners look good on paper. They may even have some initial skills. For example, they could be great at kissing, but that doesn’t guarantee skill in any other area. While it would be nice to filter out the undesirable experiences, it’s often difficult to do.
All we can do, really, is make sure that we’re staying consistent with our own standards, and being fully present and attentive to the experience. We can’t make anyone else do the same, but we can certainly let go of any partners who don’t meet our needs, particularly when we’ve openly communicated those needs. We don’t even have to wait for the experience to be over to change our minds and say that it’s not working out. Consent happens throughout the process, and that consent can be withdrawn at any time. Sometimes, that might save us at least a little time and effort.
Dating has become an interview process, and it seems that sex is like the probationary period that comes with a new position. I’m saying that and thinking that it might involve a lot of positions. Yes, the pun possibilities are endless here, but the important thing is that we get to know what we want and need in a partner. We don’t have to compromise our standards in relationships or in the bedroom. We can’t eliminate all the negative experiences, but we can certainly narrow them down.
No, we can’t quite ask to see a sexual resume, but we can pay attention when the topic comes up to both the verbal and nonverbal cues that might give us a clue about compatibility. We can also openly discuss sex and boundaries, helping to break down the taboo that keeps us from communicating our needs. Sex, love, and relationships should have an element of fun, but it seems like we’ve turned them into a job instead.

Four minutes after midnight on March 24, 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez hit Bligh Reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound. Eleven million gallons of North Slope oil spewed into one of the most bountiful marine ecosystems in the world, killing birds, marine mammals, fish, and devastating the ecosystem. (Exxon Valdez Oil Spill: Could It Happen Again?, 2000, May 10) Exxon claims the Sound has recovered, but environmental groups claim otherwise. Who is right?
This environmental disaster caused more destruction of wildlife then any other in our nation's history.
Approximately, half a million birds died including bald eagles, harlequin ducks, marbled murrelets and loons. It also greatly affected fish. Critical spawning and rearing habitats, including over 100 salmon streams, were besieged in oil. In 1993, there was an unprecedented crash of the sound's Pacific herring population. The spill also caused a noticeable decline in pink and churn salmon, dolly varden cutthroat trout and rockfish. The spill even affected habitats on land. Three national parks, three national wildlife refuges and one national forest was oiled.
Since the incident occurred in open navigable water, the U.S. Coast Guard's On-Scene Coordinator had authority for all activities related to the cleanup effort. His first action was to immediately close the Port of Valdez to all ship traffic. An U.S. Coast Guard investigator, along with a representative from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conversation, visited the scene of the incident to assess the damage. The Alaska Regional Response Team was brought together by teleconference, and the National Response Team was activated soon thereafter.
(Exxon Valdez, 2000, May 8) Other agencies were also involved. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specialists of experimental bioremediation technologies assisted in the cleanup. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was involved in providing weather forecasts for Prince William Sound, allowing the cleanup team to adapt their methods to changing weather conditions.
Once help arrived cleanup began immediately. Specialists from the Hubbs Marine Institute in San Diego, California, set up a facility to clean oil from otters, and the International Bird Research Center of Berkeley, California, established a center to clean and rehabilitate oiled waterfowl. Three methods were used in the clean up…burning, mechanical cleanup and chemical dispersants. In burning, they simply tired to burn small sections of the oil slick. However, due to foul weather, this method was not tried again. Mechanical cleanup used booms and skimmers. Skimmers were attachments to the back of boats which filtered the very top layer of water. This method worked well, but skimmers often clogged because of kelp and the heavy oil and repairs were time consuming. Finally they tried dispersants. Dispersants work much like detergent does in your washing machine. It allows the oil to mix with the water, dispersing the oil in a wide area. This does not remove the oil, but is supposed to dilute the oil to a point where it is almost non-existent.
After the cleanup, much was done to prevent this disaster from happening again. Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which required the Coast Guard to strengthen its regulations on oil tank vessels and oil tank owners and operators. Today, tank hulls provide better protection against spills resulting from a similar accident, and communications between vessel captains and vessel traffic centers have improved to make for safer sailing. (Exxon Valdez, 2000, May 8) Exxon reports it has done much to improve oil-spill prevention. It has modified tanker routes, applied new technology to improve vessel navigation and ensure the integrity of oil containment systems. Also, Exxon strengthened training programs for vessel captains and pilots and conducted more extensive, periodic assessments of Exxon's vessels and facilities. Today in Prince William Sound, tugs escort tankers in and out, and a state-of-the-art radar system tracks both ships and icebergs.
Oil containment booms and other response equipment are stockpiled in the Sound and elsewhere in the United States to enable quick and effective spill response. Emergency response teams are trained and stand ready in essential locations. Frequent drills are conducted that include important personnel from industry, government agencies and local citizens advisory groups.
As you can see, many things have been improved since the tragic accident. However, is this enough? Exxon (now Exxon-Mobil) has claimed the Sound is as clean as it was in 1988. Many leading scientists and environmental groups say it is not as clean. Scientific studies of the Sound are still under way today. Most published now state that the ecosystem has been improved, but things will never be what they once were. Studies indicate that in certain species of fish, genetic mutations have already occurred because of the spill. There is no hard-evidence yet, however. We will just have to wait and see to find out the final verdict of the Exxon Valdez's impact.

Hip-hop is full of shoulda-beens. Currently filed in Los Angeles' urban dead letter office is an expertly crafted recording representing the multiracial makeup of that city. Made by a black and Asian rapper with a white DJ, it's hard to say why the 2005 album Fly School Reunion, by Giant Panda (above), never took off. Throughout, MCs Maanumental and Chikaramanga wrestle the polyrhythmic beats of Newman in pure Angeleno style: smooth, hot and confident, even interpolating A Tribe Called Quest's "Midnight" (you know the transaction) to pay tribute to the golden era in the "'90s."
The group releases its follow-up, Electric Laser, this week, and the title reflects Giant Panda's new chosen sonic turf: lots of synthesizers, lots of electronics. Check 'em out when they perform with Pigeon John, the Crown City Rockers' Raashan Ahmad, Distant Relatives and Lost Role Models on Friday, May 23, at the Raven Theater, 115 North St., Healdsburg. 8pm. $20. 707.433.6335.
Sebastopol's own Smoov-E has occupied a similar spot of obscurity in Bay Area hip-hop, with the usual reason offered ("He's white") that unfairly simplifies his unique aesthetic as the Ron Jeremy of hip-hop. Not hard enough for the gangsta contingent, yet too persona-driven for the backpackers, Smoov-E may be the tightest dude ever to actually rock a player piano and a bullhorn.
Sex plays heavily in Smoov-E's raps, but within that approach his methods are as tricky as a pick-up artist; he's international spy Long Duck Dong one second, '70s disco king Larry Dallas the next. His latest incarnation, Rusty Squeezebox, "the Fornicating Cowboy," debuts on Saturday, May 24, at the Raven Theater, 115 North St., Healdsburg. 8pm. $20. 707.433.6335.
Finally, to fully spin heads into a tizzy, the affable and laid-back Devin the Dude comes to town this weekend in a rather underpromoted but no less exciting North Bay debut. The Dude pops up in the zaniest places—on Carson Daly, in Treal TV and on Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001 album, wedged, for one brilliant verse, between Snoop and Dre—and this weekend, he's at the Flamingo Hotel, of all places. Pool party afterwards, by chance?
With one of the most conversational styles in hip-hop, the Texas prattler eschews an aggressive flow for a more ruminative, distracted result; his awkward pauses are as much a part of his success as an MC as his humorous outlook. Devin's the only rapper ballsy enough to name his album To the X-Treme after Vanilla Ice's best forgotten crapolafest, and "Doobie Ashtray" is a comical, in-the-know description of herb gettin' ganked by roommates. He appears with guest DJs and comedians on Friday, May 23, at the Flamingo Hotel, 2777 Fourth St., Santa Rosa. 7pm. $30&–$35. 707.545.8530.

I have a question regarding cutting carbs. I have attempted to drastically cut carbs and as a result, went through a rough period just not feeling well. I suspect it’s because I went too extreme. What is the proper way to cut carbs and what is the best way to reduce body fat?
– Gary K.
It’s important to maintain your calories when you omit a large portion of your normal diet! Replacing the missing items with equivalent energy from protein and fat sources is key. Often a shift from starches such as bread, pasta and potatoes also means you’re also missing what normally goes on them – butter, jelly, oil, marinara sauce, sour cream, etc.
If you take away 2-3 slices of pizza, for example, and replace it with a couple of roasted chicken breasts, you’re losing hundreds of calories. You could obtain the equivalent calories without the carbs by having the chicken (light and dark meat) with cream sauce or mushroom gravy.
Your brain and nervous system prefer blood sugar as their source of energy. Be sure to consume at least the recommended minimum of carbohydrates to fuel your body properly. The United States Institute of Medicine recommends 130 grams of carbohydrates per day for adults, which is reflected in the 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines. (That equates to only 520 calories, typically less than 25% of actual energy consumed.)

Canon S1 IS Pictures and A Mini-Rant
Update (11/14/2006): Check out www.FiendishMasterPlan.com for another sunset picture, this one set in Albuquerque.
I haven't been posting regularly for quite some time, but the site's not dead, just going through a slow period.
However, I have been taking quite a few pictures with a Canon Powershot S1 IS, which I've had for nearly six months now.
My mini-review. Overall, I'm quite happy. The zoom lens is a great deal of fun, and the image stabilization actually works as long as you try just a little to hold the camera steady. With other cameras, "holding steady" was an exercise in frustration. I found that in any other light condition than full blast sunshine, handheld shooting produced too much blur. With the S1, I can go down to 1/30 and even 1/15 if I have to, although that's starting to push it.
The purple fringing issue occurs more often than I expected, but usually in small areas.
Here's a picture I could only have gotten with a zoom lens:
The overall sunset was decent, but these clouds look almost hellish to me, and it was the detail in them that I liked.
Here's a postcard picture taken in the Jemez, ones of my favorite places to go for landscape photography.
Some people would mean postcard pejoratively: I take it as a compliment. Taken at nearly full zoom.
Here's a picture I took to shut up the "But where's the picture of you with your really long shadow in it? That's never been done before!" emails I constantly receive.
Here's the mini-rant: the follow-on to the Canon S1 IS is the Canon S2 IS. There are two problems with Canon expecting people to just smoothly upgrade: 1) They switched from CompactFlash to SecureDigital memory formats, which means the 800+ Megs I have in CompactFlash would be worthless with the S2. and 2) They changed the adapter size from 52 to 58mm, which means almost all the filters I have are worthless. What a slap in the face.
And now, I leave you with a picture I found mildly humorous:

A terror investigation is underway in Greece after the German ambassador's residence in Athens was shot at in the early hours of the morning today (December 30, 2013), the Euro News website reports.
Dozens of rounds from a Kalashnikov assault rifle were fired at the building, hitting the walls and steel gates at the entrance.
No one was hurt and little damage was done, but the attack came amid anti-German sentiment during Greece's prolonged economic crisis.
Berlin is blamed by many Greeks for the devastating austerity measures imposed on Greece as part of the all-but-bankrupt country's EU (European Union) bailouts. Germany is the biggest single contributing nation to those bailouts, and some of its austerity requirements have resulted in a plethora of Greeks losing their jobs.
Police believe the shooting -- which occurred at 3:40 a.m. -- was the work of leftists. No one has claimed responsibility.

An article on Friday reported concern on graduation rates dropping 1+ percent in the Boulder Valley School District ("High-school graduation rates dip slightly," Daily Camera, Jan. 19). The 2017 rate was stated to be 91.3 percent. A quick glance at the 12 schools and their graduation rates should have raised an eyebrow by anyone with more than an 8th-grade math education. How do those numbers average 91 percent rather than closer to a 78/79 percent?
Maybe I just don't understand the new math.

What Device Should My Child Play On?
The Jersey Momma's Boy received a Google Nexus as a gift, and that's what he usually uses to play his games. The Nexus is similar to an iPad but less expensive. We haven't had any complaints with it so far. We have it loaded with games and that's all he uses it for. The only gripe I have is that certain apps are not available for android (just for Apple devices). We have a 3ObjGear case on it to keep it protected, too. I, personally, have a Kindle Fire, and although I like it, sometimes it bothers me that so many games are unavailable on it.

Fun Educational Apps
I love educational apps because if they're good, most kids don't even realize they're learning from them! Here are a few of our favorites. I mixed together the age groups, but I've listed some suggestions for preschoolers, kindergartners and elementary aged children. The majority of the ones we get are free. I don't like paying for apps if I don't have to, but I will if they're really good and not too expensive.
Kodable - SurfScore, Inc.
Kodable is designed to teach kids ages 5 and up the basics of coding. This is an important skill for them to have in the tech world and for the world in general, as they grow up. Kodable is an award winning program and even has matching curriculum for classroom usage. The little fuzzballs are adorable and my son loves trying to give the directions to maneuver them through mazes. My only complaint is that it starts out as a free app that you quickly have to pay for if you want to continue to higher levels.

Inventioneers - Filimundus AB
There's so much focus on STEM foundations for kids (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) these days, so Inventioneers is headed in the right direction! With Inventioneers, kids can create wacky, unique inventions or use some of the given inventions and earn new parts. The Jersey Momma's Boy loves this game, and will laugh out loud at his own work and the funny characters in the app. Available on iTunes and android devices.
|Inventioneers - photo from iTunes App Store|
Stack the States - Freecloud Design, Inc.
My son actually enjoyed playing this game when he was only in preschool because he was fascinated by the states, but he needed a lot of help with it. Now that he is 7, he can play the game on his own. The game asks trivia questions about each state, and you have to stack them up like building blocks as you collect them. The questions sometimes repeat so the kids wind up memorizing the facts about the states without realizing it. It covers so much ground- kids learn about states, flags, abbreviations, locations. It's really great!

Draw a Stickman - Hitcents
I'm sure people will argue about what educational value there is in drawing a stick man. But hear me out! In this little adventure game, you literally have to draw tools for yourself and figure out ways to stop fires, cross bridges, defeat enemies and more. Very creative and fun for adults, too! Draw a Stickman is one of the most unique games I have ever seen. Try the sample on their website for yourself and see what I mean.

Endless Alphabet- Originator, Inc.
I love Endless Alphabet! The graphics are adorable and the sound effects are silly and fun. It's basically a vocabulary game that reviews letter sounds, too. When the kids click on the letters they will see a little monster (nothing scary, they're all cute cartoons), hear the letter sound, and then be introduced to a vocabulary word. The monster will demonstrate the vocabulary word so the player can see how the word is used. I like that the words are challenging - 'cooperate,' 'bellow,' 'demolish,' etc. There isn't really a game for the kids to play, they basically just scroll through to see the monsters and hear the different sounds and words. They can drag and 'stick' each letter back into each word, too, to see how it is spelled. It is very basic and even kindergartners can do it. Your little one also might enjoy Endless Reader or Endless Numbers, too.

Crazy Times Tables - MadeByEducators
Crazy Times Tables is not a free app, but it's so cute and such a great way to practice multiplication facts. Kids can add their photos to the app so that they are actually a part of the game. I like it because it individualizes to your child's needs, so they work to their ability. It's available through the iTunes store.
|Crazy Times Tables App - photo from iTunes App Store|
Chicktionary - Blockdot
Chicktionary is a fun word game for 6 and up (adults, too!). The chickens present us with a mixed up word, and we see how many words we can make with all of the letters. The letters ultimately make one long word, too. You can play in a timed mode or just for fun. The chickens make funny clucking noises as you build each word, and present you with a little ribbon for your achievements.

JumpStart Preschool - Magic of Learning
JumpStart has been around for years and I often used their CD-Roms (wow, I'm dating myself!) in my classroom. Their apps are bright, vibrant, and easy for little ones to navigate. Just remember that the free apps sometimes have pop-up ads that you have to close out of (although they are usually ads for their own games). Your little one can practice sorting, counting, listening to stories and matching. I chose Magic of Learning as an example, but there are so many JumpStart apps to choose from.

Stay tuned for more of my App Suggestions for Kids. Do you have a favorite children's app to share? Tell me about it in the comments section below!

Pickens Academy High School Pirates (AL)
CARROLLTON, Ala. (WCBI Sports) – Pickens Academy is coming off a deep playoff run in 2012. The Pirates won their first eight games. The team loses ten players from that squad and its coach.
New head man Josh Thacker has a tough-minded approach and says all positions are an open competition.
|DIVISION 1A | REG | DIST|
|HEAD COACH: JOSH THACKER|
|Aug 30||Sparta Ac||away|
|Sept 6||Sumter Ac||home|
|Sept 13||Southern Ac||home|
|Sept 20||S Choctaw Ac||away|
|Sept 27||Eastwood Chr*||away|
|Oct 4||Jackson Ac*||home|
|Oct 11||Marengo Ac*||away|
|Oct 18||Meadowview Chr*||home|
|Oct 25||Patrician Ac||away|
|Nov 1||Clarke Prep||home|
“Hard work, just work hard, the best that you can,” Thacker said. “Put your best foot forward every day. Put your head down, go to work. When one guy goes down or one guy goes out for a breather, the next guy steps in. We try not to miss a beat. We have everybody on the same page. We don’t have a junior high program. We don’t have a freshman program. We have one big football family. From seventh grade to twelfth grade, we’re all doing the same thing.”
Thacker says his team is getting back to its roots. There are lots of farmers around Pickens County. It’s that dedication he says he’s shooting for.
Senior quarterback Josh Lewis returns. He gets it done with his arm and his legs and Thacker says he has a chance to play at the next level, even if it’s at a different position.
“Great athlete, projected college receiver, hopefully sometime down the road, but right now he’s just working his butt off. He’s a great kid, outside of the football field he’s a yes sir, no sir, yes ma’am, no ma’am, makes great grades. Josh is a great kid,” Thacker said.
Last season saw success, but it’s a new attitude for Pickens Academy.
“I don’t find a lot of motivation from last season. We dropped two games at the end of the season because we got kind of lackadaisical,” Thacker said. “We got in the playoffs and pretty much got beat pretty bad by Restoration. It seemed like we had the mentality of ‘second place is O.K.’ and that’s not O.K. for us. We want to finish this year on a very strong note. It’s not O.K. to go 9-0 and then drop the last two games of the season and then be O.K. to make the playoffs. That’s not a championship mentality and that’s not what we’re trying to do. To me, that’s average, and I hate that word and that’s not something you’ll ever hear us say.”

A STORMING UPSET AT 16-1
Storming, neglected at odds of 16-1 on the tote board upset rivals in an Optional Claiming ($180,000-$150,000) event for five-and-six-year-old horses travelling four furlongs (400m).
Storming (Oneil Mullings) trained by Ryan Darby, showed speed at the off, disputing the early lead with Money Marshall (Tevin Foster), Fourthousand (Phillip Parchment) and Supreme Star (Reyan Lewis). As the runners sorted themselves out passing the dummy rails, Storming was taken off the pace as Money Marshall and Supreme Star battled for top honours. Inside the final half-a-furlong Storming surged forward blowing by from rivals to score by 3 ¾-lengths, winning in a time of 50.0. Finishing second was Money Marshall while third went to Supreme Star.
SECRET EMPEROR FINALLY COMES GOOD
Secret Emperor, after 11 starts including some close finishes, finally went by the winning post in front in a native-bred three-year-olds Maiden Condition contest going 7½ furlongs (1,500m).
Ridden by Shane Ellis for breeder/owner/trainer Carl Anderson, Secret Emperor raced in third place behind Storm A Come (Tevin Foster) and Millinium Star (Paul Francis) down the backstretch.
Approaching the half mile (800m), Don Vincenzo (Reyan Lewis) slipped through on the rails to take control ahead of Millinium Star, with Secret Emperor getting closer with every stride. Approaching the distance, Secret Emperor hit the front and turned for home full of running.
Secret Emperor never gave up his gallop in deep stretch and coasted home by 2½ lengths. Don Vincenzo kept on for second with Anchorman (Anthony Thomas) third. The final time was 1:34.4.
BUZZ ASSAULT IN ONE SHAKE AGAIN
Roan gelding Buzz Assault led from the first jump in a dominating win among native-bred five-year-olds and upwards (non-winners of three) and imported five-year-olds and upwards (non-winners of two) over 6½ furlongs (1,300m).
Buzz Assault went to the front when the starter pressed his button and held the advantage over Jolly’s Dream (Roger Hewitt) and Mister A (Anthony Thomas) down the backstretch. Buzz Assault upped the tempo navigating the half mile as jockey Odeen Edwards let loose the reins aboard the Patrick Smellie-owned and -trained runner while Toughness (Dick Cardenas) and Daytona Belle (Nicholas Hibbert) chased.
Distance would then take its toll in the final stages of the race but Buzz Assault was too far in front to be caught, winning by 2¼ lengths. Duke of Springs (Samantha Fletcher) was second and Toughness third. The winning time was 1:23.3.
UNRULY BOSS REGAINS LOST FORM
After some disappointing efforts, Unruly Boss registered his first win for the season from 10 starts in a native-bred four-year-old and upwards (non-winners of four) over the straight course at 5 furlongs (1,000m).
Trained by Errol Subratie, Unruly Boss (Aaron Chatrie) was unable to go with the early leaders, as Alexa’s Dream (Raddesh Roman), She’s So Fabulous (Omar Walker) and Magical Mood (Odeen Edwards) set the early fractions.
Coming across the dummy rails with She’s So Fabulous continuing to blaze the trail, Unruly Boss came through with a strong run, going away to win by 3 lengths. Taurus Boy (Nicholas Hibbert) finished in second place ahead of She’s So Fabulous in third spot.
The final time for the race was 1:00.2.
SEVEN HORSES CLAIMED
Ryan Darby claimed winner of the sixth race Lazer Light for owner Raphael Gordon for $400,000 from Steven Todd, while Ryan Williams claimed second-finisher Hecandance for owner Rosdore also for $400,000.
In the eighth race, Ryan Darby claimed Sir Kel for owner Howard Taffe, Fernando Geddes claimed winner Thalos for owner Christopher Gordon from Anthony Nunes, and Arnold Rambally Jr claimed Giant Wheeler for owner James Forbes and Nadine Russell-Forbes from Jason DaCosta. All horses from the eighth event were claimed for $750,000 each.
Johnny Wilmot claimed Bern Notice for owner Rabalac Connection from Anthony Nunes for $1 million and Anthony Nunes claimed Azaria for himself, also for $1 million, from Wilfred Chin from the 10th race.

Ah, one of my favourite games today: doctors and nurses. First then, a new series of the thoroughly entertaining docusoap Junior Doctors: Your Life in Their Hands (BBC3). We've moved from the north-east to London, from Casualty-meets-Geordie-Shore to Casualty-meets- Made-in-Chelsea if you like (actually we are at Chelsea and Westminster hospital so that almost works). And more importantly we've got a new batch of young docs in, fresh meat.
So here's Andy who's 22 (Jesus, he's a child, he must have started becoming a doctor when he was still in nappies). Andy's first job is to fit a cannula into a Mr Straw in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Sharp scratch coming up, he sticks the needle into the back of Mr Straw's bony hand ... No, missed the vein, let's try the other hand. Oops, missed again.
After several failed attempts, Andy decides to give his patient a well-earned break from being a pin cushion guinea pig.
Laidback Amieth's first job is to stick his lubricated finger up an old man's bum, which he does with good humour and a smile. Not much seems to faze Amieth. Then he too needs to get a needle in, to pump adrenaline into a patient who's had a cardiac arrest and needs urgent resuscitation. The poor woman hasn't got any obvious veins in her hand, but Amieth finds one in her foot, and gets the needle in first time. Good job. I'm thinking if you need a jab in Chelsea and Westminster, ask for Amieth every time (and avoid Andy like MRSA). Amieth then helps out with the CPR – come on, a bit faster Amieth, now's not the time to be laidback. Oh, the lady sadly dies, but that's hardly Amieth's fault. He can hold his head high.
Less so Aki, who is busy breaking all the rules of confidentiality and giving private patient information out over the phone to ... well, he doesn't really know who to, actually. If you're a tabloid journalist, and you ring Chelsea and Westminster hospital after a story, ask for Aki every time. Meanwhile posh Milla, who really wouldn't be out of place in Made in Chelsea, has to certify a death – her first, and she doesn't know how to do it. There's no suggestion that the death was caused by one of Milla's junior doctor colleagues, but this day in August when they first join the wards is known as Black Wednesday. Death rates rise by around 6%.
So let's see how Andy's getting on with that cannula. Mr Straw's had his break, and Andy's back for (literally) another stab. "We'll get it in, first time, promise," he says with a new confidence. A new, unjustified confidence it turns out because he then breaks his promise, and breaks it again. And finally the patient loses patience and sends Andy away. Poor Mr Straw, punctured and bruised, he looks like someone out of Trainspotting.
To be fair to Andy, he does better later with someone else. They all improve; one day they'll help form the backbone of our health system. Possibly even Andy. But if you find yourself in hospital in the first week of August, ask for none of them. Probably best to stay away all together.
Also excellent, Confessions of a Nurse (More4) is less about what happens and more about who it happens to – the people, rather than the procedures, which is probably a fair reflection of the difference between the professions. By people I mean the nurses, and the patients, and the relationship between the two. Like the night sister Sarah and Alice who is deteriorating fast and says she's tired of breathing and ready to go now. Sarah strokes her hand and talks to her in the middle of the night.
This is more intimate and sympathetic than Junior Doctors. Well, doctors are an easier target – they're on their way to power and wealth. It's harder to have a pop at people on £14,000 a year (which is what Latoya, the healthcare assistant, gets).
In many ways being a nurse is a shit job. It's not just that the pay's shit, but you also have to take a lot of shit, from doctors sometimes, often from patients. As well as cleaning up their actual shit, of course. Look, this one horrid old man is flicking his all around the ward. And he's exposing himself. Oh yes, he's also a sex offender.
And yet Debbie and the other nurses have a laugh, and get on with it. And they say they love their work. Because it is an amazing job, and they – Debbie, Latoya, Sarah – are amazing people.

Ongoing Mentoring Could Help New Nurses Speak Up
(HealthDay News) — For new nurses, learning to speak up requires ongoing mentoring, according to a study published online March 5 in the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
Noting that nurses have reported being hesitant about speaking up or being unable to be heard despite adopting safety tools, Bernice Yee-Shui Law, BSN, RN, and Engle Angela Chan, PhD, RN, from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, explored the process of learning to speak up in practice among newly graduated registered nurses. They recruited 18 new graduates, and during repeated unstructured interviews and ongoing e-mail conversations with three participants, they collected stories of experiences of speaking up.
The researchers identified three interrelated narrative threads: Learning to speak up requires more than one-off training and safety tools; mentoring for speaking up should be offered in the midst of educative and miseducative experiences; and public spaces should be made safe for sharing secret stories.
"Cultivating a safe and open culture of communication and mentoring new graduates to speak up will benefit patient safety now and in the future by helping to retain committed patient advocates who could mentor future generations," the authors write.

Mr. Saturn for Garry’s Mod!
Managed to find time to finish a few more things from the translation to-do list. This time I finished the font and added lots of characters for foreign languages, mostly so that it’ll be easier for people to translate the game into their languages with font support already in place. The naming screen is a huge pain to hack, so having it all done like this will save future translators a ton of time and hair-pulling. Here’s what the naming screen looks like now, let me know if any of the letters look odd or could be improved:
(Before and after)
Here are some sample screenshots using made-up text translated into a couple other languages:
There’s one little problem, and that’s that getting these new letters into the text files isn’t going to be very straightforward at all. It’ll probably be a real pain. I’ll see if I can help fix that a little bit, but translators might have to use a clunky workaround like typing instead of ñ. It’s hard to explain but it’s mostly due to the fact that there are so many different text formats out there and different text editors mess stuff up in different ways.
Anyway, that crossed a few things off the to-do list. Then I went and tackled the player naming screen:
I don’t remember what this looks like in EarthBound Zero, but hacking this to include lowercase letters + all the international letters would be a really huge undertaking, so right now I’m planning to leave it like this.
The to-do list is quickly shrinking, but the really hard stuff is coming up now. Hopefully the remaining tasks won’t be TOO insane 😯

On May 20, 1963, David Wells was born. What does he have in common with Ray Oyler and Ned Williamson? Read to find out, but here’s a hint: It’s something he doesn’t have in common with Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi
As they seemingly always are these days, steroids have been much in the news lately. Between Jason Giambi’s comments to the press about using that “stuff” to Barry Bonds getting closer to Hank Aaron, hardly a day goes by without media commentary on the subject.
Among the most popular type of media (and fan) commentary is the speculation about who was using. Although this speculation is sometimes baseless—questions about Chris Shelton sure dried up once May rolled around last year, didn’t they?—that doesn’t stop people.
In the spirit of providing a contrasting view, I am going to present three players, from the contemporary to the decidedly ancient, who I am positive, as sure-as-sure-can-be, never used steroids.
David Wells: Being that Boomer is the most recent player on this list, he might be the most controversial. Some would claim that all the evidence they need to say Wells must be on the juice is that he is still pitching (albeit not especially well to this point) at age 44. Wells has looked finished at various times over the past few years, needing back surgery in 2001 and posting an ERA near five with the Red Sox last year, but has always bounced back.
So why am I so convinced of Wells’ clean status? I mean, just look at the man. He’s currently listed at 250 pounds, a number the Padres apparently arrived at by taking Wells’ actual weight and rearranging the numbers to a more favorable figure.
Wells also has suffered a number of injuries that suggest he can’t be bothered to take ordinary care of his body, let alone special steps requiring illegal medicine. During spring training in 1998 with the Yankees, Wells missed time with a case of the gout. Gout! Although there are generic factors, one’s diet is still considered a major element of preventing gout and you would think someone who is (ostensibly) a professional athlete would be able to prevent it.
As if that were not enough, earlier this year Wells was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. According to one source, the three leading factors in causing the disease are weight, lack of exercise and family history. I’m not trying to make light of these ailments (or any family history of the disease Wells might have) but I’m having a hard time imagining a disease an active athlete is less likely to get. Scurvy, perhaps.
All in all, if you can’t take good enough care of yourself to keep from being inflicted with sicknesses like those despite being a major league baseball player, I doubt you have the drive—let alone the inclination—to take advantage of the bonuses offered by steroids.
Ray Oyler: The suspensions of players like Alex Sanchez (career slugging percentage: .372) has led people to point out, validly, that it isn’t just the Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco types who might be roiding up. And while it is true that steroids can do as much for slap-hitting middle infielders as it can for hulking first baseman, I don’t think anything could have helped Ray Oyler.
There are a lot of ways to describe how poor a hitter Ray Oyler was. One could point to his career .175 batting average. Or maybe his lifetime .251 slugging percentage, which was nearly a 125 points shy of league average during his career. You earn that kind of slugging percentage when you come to the plate nearly 1,500 times in a career but manage only 60 extra base hits. Had Jose Reyes hit 10 more doubles last season, he would have topped Oyler’s career totals for doubles, triples and home runs in one year.
I think the best way to illustrate Oyler’s offensive ineptitude is the story of the 1968 World Series. So desperate for offense was Tigers manager Mayo Smith that he moved outfielder Mickey Stanley (career games at SS prior to September 1968: zero) to shortstop and stuck Oyler on the bench. Mind you, this was the World Series. Smith decided Oyler was so useless offensively that he was willing to put a guy with as much major league shortstop experience as I have in the spot for the biggest games of the year. (It worked, incidentally. Detroit won the Series in seven games.)
In my junior year of high school, my French teacher accused me of cheating on a test. We were friendly, and the incident was more-or-less put to bed when I observed that at the time I was holding down a solid C+ average in the course. Unless I was really bad at cheating, I surely would have been doing better. I don’t know just how much steroids can help you, but I refuse to believe it is possible to have a lifetime OPS+ of 48 and still be up to no good.
Ned Williamson: What might you say about a player who hit more than 40 percent of his career home runs in a single season? “Why, that’s Brady Anderson,” you would say. But that’s wrong, as Anderson actually hit less than a quarter of his career homers during his now highly questionable 1996 season.
The man in question is Ned (or “Ed,” sources vary) Williamson. In 1884 Williamson, playing for the Chicago White Stockings—confusingly, that’s the franchise that would become the Cubs—hit 27 home runs. The rest of his career he hit just 37, and never more than nine in a single season. So where did the unexpected boost of power come from?
Not from a bottle, or a needle, but rather from a ground rule. Williamson played in Lakefront Park (also known by other names), which featured a right field fence fewer than 200 feet away. As such, any ball hit over the fence was considered a ground-rule double. In 1884, the club changed the rule to a home run. Not surprisingly, homer numbers shot up. The previous year the team as a whole had hit 13; in ’84 five of the starting nine tied or bettered that total.
Williamson’s 27 home runs stood as the single season record until Babe Ruth in 1919. Though all those home runs might have been radically out of line with the rest of his career, I’m confident in saying Williamson, just like David Wells and Ray Oyler, never went near a steroid.

Whenever I’m entertaining a crowd, I instinctively fall back on burgers. There’s a lot of room to play and people’s expectations always seem low so it’s easy to blow people away. So I thought I’d try something new again, but a little simpler than the burgers I’ve made before. The goal: less “extra” flavors and something incredibly rich and beefy–more of a steakburger.
This was my excuse to play with my new KitchenAid meat grinder. I started with two separate cuts of beef: chuck (for fattiness–keeps the burger juicy) and ribeye (also fatty, but much more intense beef flavor). You could certainly throw the steak in a food processor, but a real meat grinder won’t turn your meat into texture-free paste. The goal is to nicely emulsify the meat and fat so you have a somewhat homogenous and tender end result
But anyways, back to the meat. These were incredible–very flavorful, very beefy, and very juicy. The supporting elements I worked into the ground beef (e.g. peppers, dijon, oregano) gave some zesty, earthy, spiciness, but nothing that got in the way of the beef, which is the star of the show.
Also, since no burger is complete without a bun, I thought I’d try my hand at those as well. The bun recipe originated from the second whitebread style as written in The Bread Baker’s Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread by Peter Reinhart. These were also fantastic–tender, tangy, and beautiful with a nice crust and delicate crumb.
- Burger Patties
- ~1.6 lb ribeye
- ~0.9 lb chuck top steak
- 1 shallot
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 poblano
- 1 Tbsp dijon
- 1-2 Tbsp worcestershire
- dash of bourbon
- 1 egg
- 2 chipotle + adobo
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- Buttermilk Buns
- 4.25 cups flour
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp water
- Sesame/poppy seeds
Buttermilk Hamburger Buns
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk. With the paddle attachment, beat these well. Then, add the contents of the flour bowl and beat just enough to get things mixed (figure 30 seconds). You should have a dough that looks soft and supple.
Now, switch to the dough hook attachment. Knead on medium speed for about 6-8 minutes. Again, the dough should be soft, supple, and tacky, but not sticky. As it nears completion, the dough should pull away from sides of the bowl but the bottom might just barely stick to the bottom of the bowl. Once time is up, the dough should pass windowpane test. That is, if you took off a small bit of dough (like the size of a nut), you should be able to roll it thin and pull in all directions until its so thin that you can see through it without tearing it.
Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to it. Roll it around to coat with oil and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let this sit in a warmish place (but essentially at room temperature) for 1.5-2 hours or til doubled in size to allow it some time to ferment.
With the dough risen, divide it into 12 pieces. Form “tight rounds” from these. If you’re not a bread person, the technique you use to shape your bread is actually quite important. To get the shape we want for a bun, take a piece of dough and hold it in your lightly cupped hand, resting it in your fingers. Firmly press the dough into the counter as if you’re trying to push it through the counter, simultaneously twisting your hand so that you rotate it a circular motion. This should press the dough towards the outer edge of your hand and once you pull away from the counter, you should have a nice, tight round ball that just puts itself right in the palm of your hand. Tada–tight rounds!
Now, mist the rounds with oil and cover loosely with either a towel or plastic wrap and let these rest for 20 minutes. Then, gently press down on them with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly so that they’re shaped more like a hamburger bun rather than a dinner roll. Transfer these to lined sheet pans.
Loosely cover these again and let them proof for another 60-90 minutes at room temperature or until roughly doubled in size.
Once they are, prepare the egg wash by beating the egg and water in a bowl until frothy. If you want to score the buns, slash them in the center and then lightly brush with egg wash. Finally, sprinkle on a handful of seeds.
Transfer these to a 400°F and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for an hour before cutting/eating.
Making the burger patties is a pretty simple endeavor if you have a meat grinder (so you can make your own ground meat rather than buying ground beef).
Cut the beef into long, thin strips that can feed into your grinder. Do not discard excess fat. Do the same for the shallot and pepper and strip the paper off of the garlic. Put all of this in the freezer for roughly 30 minutes–it makes for a better grind and it helps to ensure that the fat doesn’t melt out during the grinding process.
With the meat and veg chilled, process this through the meat grinder. Mix in all of the remaining components gently with your hands, working it only as much as is necessary. Form this meat into burger patties of whatever size appeals to you. Chill them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook (or freeze extras for another day).
Finally, fire up your grill and get it nice and hot. Grill the burgers to your desired level of doneness, which I would speculate means 3-5 minutes per side. And yes, that means you only flip the burgers once. Don’t beat the meat.
I like to grill my bun for about a minute while I melt the cheese on the burgers (I used rocquefort which I think pairs amazingly well). Get this on your plate and pile on the toppings (arugula and tomato for me), squirt on some ketchup, grab a beer, and enjoy!

This morning concluded a wonderful visit from one of my very best friends, and it also marks 8 days until I return to the United States! The timing of Maggie’s visit was perfect, because I think
it will help the reverse-culture shock of being around all of my loved ones all
the time. A week was perfect to get me
back into the habit of being around people… American people.
The first full day she was here, we took a day trip to the
town of Monselice. It is not a huge
place, but so worth the visit. Everything
was beautiful and peaceful - it was basically a cliché, small, Italian
city. We spent most of our time there
just exploring and having a delicious lunch.
We spent the weekend in the beach town of Rimini,
Italy. I would describe Rimini as how
Savannah, Georgia would be if it were actually ON Tybee Island. It was the perfect combination of both
Georgia locations. The main promenade
has so many shops and restaurants, we made sure to try a few different
places. I introduced Maggie to the
concept of aperitivo, the pre-dinner drink and some appetizers. One café by our hostel had the best aperitivo
I’ve seen in Italy. We also got the
chance to go to the giant outdoor market in the city center, ride bikes by the
beach, and just relax. Everything in
Rimini is so colorful! The same goes for
a lot of Italy, but with the beachy setting the colors just popped. It wasn’t quite high season yet, so there
were fewer people around, but we had full all the same!
For Maggie’s last two nights in Italy, we stayed in Venice…
Well, the hotel was in Mestre, but same thing.
Obviously, she had to see the two majors: the Rialto Bridge and Piazza
San Marco (plus basilica). I also took
her to my favorite spot in Venice- the Acqua Alta bookstore! We made sure to do our own exploring too, so
I was able to see parts previously unknown to me as well. Her parents were AWESOME and treated us to a
really nice dinner on our last night, so we were able to eat by the Rialto
Bridge! That is definitely something I
would never have been able to do otherwise, so if they are reading this – THANK
YOU SO MUCH! It also happened to be one
of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Obviously, this is not an extensive description of our
adventures, but I have started to notice that the more fun I have doing things
and seeing places, the harder I have to work to capture the moment in
words. Writers everywhere have my
Maggie really took to the Italian way of life, and I was so
happy to be able to show my favorite country off to one of my closest
friends. I think her visit solidified
our friendship for the rest of time, so she’s stuck with me.
Why the quick turnaround from visit to blog post, you may ask? To avoid packing for my upcoming return, of course.

“We’re going to win so much. You’re going to get tired of winning. You’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don’t win so much. This is getting terrible.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’ You’re gonna say, ‘Please.’ I said, ‘Nope, nope. We’re gonna keep winning.’ ” Those are the words of President Donald Trump, and he appears to be living up to that. While some conservatives see the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court as a huge win, swinging the court conservative for years to come, at what cost will the backing of the controversial pick hurt the Republican Party for years to come?
Brett Kavanaugh on paper looked like an easy judge to rush through the Senate, but when Christine Blasey Ford’s account of sexual misconduct in 1982 became relevant, everything flew out the window. While Ford wanted her story to be thrown into the mix of character evaluation, she didn’t seem to want to be thrown into the limelight either. While having your story told in front of the entire world isn’t ideal in any way, no man or woman should be accused by a faceless victim.
Upon hearing both testimonies, Ford appeared truthful and honest in her lack of memory of 1982, and clear and poignant in her clear memories of being held down and laughed at. Regardless of one’s thoughts on Kavanaugh’s role, there is no doubt she went through a horrible, humiliating event at 15 years old.
Kavanaugh’s testimony was much shakier. His outbursts and nonprofessional tone, yelling about how he “worked [his] butt off,” were daggers to defending his temperament, and his aloof understanding of numerous sexual terms like “boofing” and “Devil’s Triangle” — claiming they were drinking games — made him look foolish and, even worse, a liar.
Many conservatives argued that he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t, concerning his temperament about being accused of sexual assault, but he should have at least been honest about his sexual understanding. Maybe he was a virgin who just knew a lot about sexual activity, or maybe he wasn’t a virgin. One’s virginity and comprehension of sexual acts shouldn’t disqualify them from the Supreme Court, but his innocent Catholic boy routine was anything but.
There is a lot of blame going around about how this judiciary confirmation took place. One could blame Sen. Dianne Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, for coming out so late, making Ford’s story more of a political play. One could look at Kavanaugh’s inability to keep his cool. One could even look at Trump for not pulling Kavanaugh’s name and picking another candidate. But both sides were looking for a win, and while Trump and the GOP see this as “winning,” the cost is greater than the reward.
The GOP looks more like hypocrites than ever before. Had Kavanaugh been then-President Barack Obama’s pick, the Republicans would have given him the full Bill Clinton/Ken Starr treatment. He would have been painted as a sexual deviant and ran out of town.
That is not to say liberals can hold the moral high ground. They used Ford as a political puppet and useful idiot for their own agenda. And one late night TV writer revealed the dark underbelly of a crusade against men who may or may not be guilty.
“Whatever happens, I’m just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life,” Stephen Colbert writer Ariel Dumas posted on Twitter. In many ways they ruined Ford’s life, too. But political collateral isn’t on their radar in an anti-Trump war.
Already many are citing Kavanaugh’s ability to understand promoting women with his four clerks being all female. That might look good for a day, but not a long-term solution in rectifying his or the GOP’s reputation in understanding the #MeToo movement and being the party of moral clarity. And Kavanaugh may never move on from this.
“Brett Kavanaugh may look the part when he dons the robe, but Kavanaugh will be an illegitimate justice for as long as he sits on the Court,” said Brian Fallon, executive director of Demand Justice.
Trump promised to make “winning” feel like a terrible headache. You can’t say he hasn’t lived up to that promise.

Candied Yams or Sweet Potatoes are a staple side dish on many holiday dinner tables. This is a simple base recipe, great for beginners.
Candied yams aren’t actually made with yams, they are made with sweet potatoes. In the United States, the terms “yam” and “sweet potato” are used interchangeably. It is not uncommon for sweet potatoes to be labeled as yams in supermarkets, it is actually quite rare to find real yams in the U.S. Any orange-fleshed varieties like Jewel or Garnet will do for this recipe.
You will need 3 large yams (sweet potatoes) to serve 6 people, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve a bigger crowd. The yams can be partially cooked ahead of time and refrigerated until needed if you wish. Or to save even more time canned yams or sweet potatoes may be used instead.
The sugary simple sauce is what makes these yams candied. Brown sugar, either light or dark will work. Butter, I prefer salted butter. Complete with a dash of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla (homemade vanilla is amazing).
Marshmallows are optional, but if you are serving children it’s almost a must. Large or mini marshmallows will work.
Candied Yams or Sweet Potatoes
- 3 large yams (sweet potatoes), peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup butter (cut into pieces)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup reserved hot water, that the yams were cooked in
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 15 large marshmallows, or enough to cover the yams (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place the yams in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Just until they start to become tender and can be pierced with a fork. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- The yams can be left as slices, cut into bite-sized chunks, or mashed. Use a slotted spoon to transfer just the yams to a 1-1/2 qt. casserole dish or 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Cut the butter into small chunks and scatter over the top of the yams. Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon evenly over the top of the yams.
- In a small bowl add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the reserved warm cooking water. Stir to dissolve and add the vanilla. Pour over the top of the yams.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, twice opening the oven to spoon sauce over the yams.
- Remove from the oven and once again spoon the sauce over the top of the yams. Cover the yams with marshmallows and return to the oven. continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more. Or broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely.
- *For a different flavor replace the water with orange juice, pineapple juice, apple juice or cider.

CHICAGO -- Detroit Tigers relief pitcher David Purcey left the team this afternoon to return home to Texas for paternity leave.
The Tigers explored their options but will not make a move in time for the game tonight against the Chicago White Sox, which will leave the bullpen one pitcher short.
The fact that Triple-A Toledo is playing a weekend series in Scranton, Pennsylvania, provided a challenge in getting a pitcher to Chicago in time for the game.
Major League Baseball introduced a rule this past offseason allowing players to take up to three days off for the birth of a child.
"This is their first one," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I don't blame him. I said, 'You've got to do what you've got to do.'
"It does leave me a little short, because I figured on him for tonight."
The Tigers used relief pitchers Charlie Furbush and Enrique Gonzalez on Friday night in a 6-4 loss to the White Sox.
With Purcey unavailable, the only left-handed reliever available for the game tonight is Daniel Schlereth.

This is taken verbatim from a health newsletter I subscribe to. It says better than I can something I have been trying to write out in my mind. It is time for the barrage of flu shot warnings. The short and sweet - FLU SHOTS DO NOT WORK!! THEY MAY EVEN CAUSE HARM!! THEY CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO BE MORE LIKELY TO GET THE FLU!! Read on:
Every year, you hear about people who get a flu shot but come down with the flu anyway.
This is easily written off. Talking heads quickly explain that no medicine is 100 percent effective. Case closed.
So you're supposed to not ask questions, roll up your sleeve and take your medicine, right?
New evidence proves what we've believed for years -- that people could actually come down with the flu because of the shot.
What we now know is that the shot makes them more vulnerable to the other flu strains lurking out there.
For years, Big Pharma and its marketing partner, the CDC, have scoffed at the notion that the shot "gives you the flu." And technically, it doesn't.
You don't get the flu from injecting it into your arm. But the vaccine focusing on "this year's strain" leaves you wide open to other strains -- and even more vulnerable to them.
Two animal studies, one in in pigs and the other in ferrets, proved that flu vaccines made the animals defenseless to certain flu strains.
And now we know the same is true in people.
Researchers found that people who had gotten a flu shot the year before were more likely to become sick with the H1N1 flu the following year.
And don't look now, CDC, but in that same study, another shoe dropped...
Blood samples from children revealed something amazing. Compared to vaccinated kids, the unvaccinated produced MORE antibodies that offered protection against a wider array of flu strains.
That might not be enough proof for the CDC or Big Pharma or the store manager at Wal-Mart. But for me it clearly answers the question, "Should I get a flu vaccine?" with a big, fat "NO!"
Again, this is not from me, it is from a well respected health information newsletter.
I have published this in various forms over the past few years. I always get some responses about how "my doctor said I had to get the shot" or "with my medical history, I was told I would be foolish to not get the flu shot". My wife used to work at the local hospital. She was told she had to get the flu shot or she could not work. We got a lawyer to help us with a letter saying that was a violation of her rights unless they could provide conclusive evidence that her getting the flu shot was helping anyone other than the manufacturers of the flu vaccine. They backed down. People she worked with that got the shot - also got the flu. She never did. I have never had the flu as an adult. (I am 60 now and we raised 6 children - who did get the flu) Just to let you know, regardless of what your doctor, the CDC, or the WHO tell you - there is NO evidence that supports the efficacy of the flu shot - NONE! There is now evidence that says it can cause harm to the immune system. I know that those of you that get the shot like good "sheeple" will continue to do so, but I thought I would try. Just eat blueberries. A report came out this week that a substance in blueberries has been proven to improve the human immune system. Take echinacea and goldenseal if you around people infected or feel like you are coming down with something. This will improve your natural immune response.
Then again, a lot of the "medical" advice you are probably getting from your doctor is flat wrong! Reduce your cholesterol for heart health by taking statins - WRONG! Cholesterol is a vital component of good health. (FYI, there are dangerous levels of types of cholesterol, but they are MUCH higher than the figures thrown around. There are also at least 12 types of cholesterol, not two - but that is for another post). Take an antidepressant if you are feeling down. FYI, in all double blind studies done by independent parties (as opposed to the ones done by the drug companies) there is no improvement in mood that cannot be explained by the placebo effect and none greater than the results offered by fish oil supplements and/or vitamin B supplements. (a bit of a simplification, but again - another post - or do some research yourself). Reduce your salt intake to be more healthy. HA, as someone that has had severe high blood pressure since I was 16, sodium is NOT a direct link to high blood pressure in all people. It CAN cause an increase in blood pressure. However, a lack of sodium (admittedly very difficult on an American diet) can be very dangerous. There is more, but I really just wanted to put out the info on the flu shot. I did.

The Right and Wrong Ways to Manage People Through Technology
As we progress further into the Digital Age, many of us fear that the automation of processes through technology and the movement of HR into the cloud may cause us to lose the human relationships that lie at the heart of all good HR practice.
What we need to realize, though, is that technology is useless unless there are people around to apply it. The outcome of any technology, good or bad, depends entirely on how we use it.
None of us want people management to become systematized, because that’s simply not what it’s about. Employees need to be treated as individuals, and technology-based analytics have the potential to put everyone into clinical boxes. However, thinking of technology in this way leaves us with a pretty bleak outlook on the future of people management.
Fortunately, this outlook does not have to be accurate.
Below, we’ve outlined the right ways to use technology to manage your people, as well as some of the ways it could lead to negative work environments if mishandled:
The Right Ways to Use Technology:
1. Using Technology to Save Time
Cut the hours people spend on paperwork and administrative tasks by employing an HR system. Then, you’ll have more time to invest in employee engagement, which will only become more important as time goes on.
Technology can provide your company with a level of internal organization that gives the HR department the time and resources it needs to identify and eradicate pain points for employees. Instead of paperwork, HR pros can focus on providing management training and helping your business stay compliant with ever-changing employment regulations.
2. Using Technology to Mitigate Risk
No matter where your company is based in the world, you’re probably dealing with constantly evolving employment laws. Such legislation can be tricky in even the best of times.
Some HR tech solutions can provide you with ongoing guidance on process and employee relations to ensure your compliance and protect your company from risk. These same solutions can often help ensure your employees are being treated properly as well.
3. Using Technology to Identify and Eradicate Pain Points
If you want your employees to stay in the long run, you’re going to need to engage them with fulfilling work. HR alone cannot create such an environment, but HR does have the power to communicate with employees and make changes where other departments don’t. Ideally, HR can utilize the data gathered by analytics technology to uncover issues and build frameworks and environments for improvement.
The Wrong Ways to Use Technology:
1. Using Technology as an Excuse to Avoid Engaging With People
Relying too much on HR technology can distance management from employees, which can in turn promote a negative company culture. If technology becomes the exclusive means through which leaders engage staff members, the personal touch will be lost. That human-to-human contact is especially critical when handling sensitive issues, like employee performance or disciplinary procedures. Dealing with employees in a cold and insensitive way will only drive top talent away.
2. Over-Automating Processes
Employees are unique individuals, and so are the situations in which they find themselves. Differences should always be celebrated instead of stifled, which is why companies can’t allow their processes to become over-automated. Too much automation leaves little room for individual growth or experience. As we know, younger generations in particular prefer personalized experiences in the workplace, especially when it comes to matters of career progression.
Despite what science fiction films might tell us, technology isn’t something to be afraid of as long as we use it correctly. As professionals, we have the responsibility to employ technology in an ethical manner to drive positive change and improve the employee experience at work.
In this way, technology can actually help us re-humanize our workplaces.
Katie Harrower’s current title is marketing executive at Youmanage HR Ltd, but she’s considering taking on “scribe” as her preferred choice.

Pa. victim advocate Jennifer Storm resigns after a political fight with Senate Republicans
Pennsylvania Victim Advocate Jennifer Storm on Friday sent her resignation to Gov. Tom Wolf after facing Senate opposition for months.
Wolf nominated Storm for a second six-year term about a year ago, but the Republican-controlled Senate voted against her in November.
Storm called it a "political witch hunt" in her resignation letter.
“I came into the role as Commonwealth Victim Advocate knowing the political realities of the position, and I did so with fidelity and determination,” Storm said.
“I leave the office knowing that I have served crime victims and survivors - and the office - well and with uncompromising courage.”
Wolf is expected to name a replacement soon.
"Jennifer Storm has served our commonwealth well as Victim Advocate, and she will be missed," the governor said in a statement.
"Jennifer’s empathy, dedication, and ferocious commitment to justice made her an ideal advocate for victims and survivors throughout the commonwealth. I extend my thanks to Jennifer for all she has done to ease the burdens of victims and survivors, and to address the challenges they face."
The victim advocate is the top leader in the state for victim's rights, restorative justice and compassion in the face of trauma.
Former Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati said he wanted someone in that position to have a law degree and said she was subject to a state ethics investigation.
Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa pointed out that her lack of a law degree had never been an issue previously, including when she represented victims of Jerry Sandusky and Pennsylvania clergy.
Storm angered Republicans with her push to change the statute of limitations for clergy abuse victims, something that was opposed by the Catholic church and Republican donors.
Scarnati also questioned why Storm, who advocated for the commutation of a prisoner serving a life term in a 1996 murder case, didn't speak to the victim's family. He said it was the first time the state victim advocate supported the commutation of someone in prison.
The former Senate leader said he took no joy in opposing Storm but thought it was important to have a licensed attorney in the position to "ensure victims are provided the highest standard of representation and guidance at a time when they are most vulnerable."
He called on Wolf to appoint a licensed attorney to act as a true advocate.
While Storm's opposition came mostly from Republicans, she also faced opposition from Democrats.
"I don't believe she speaks for all victims," Sen. Sharif Street, a Democrat from Philadelphia, said in November. "We've had so many shootings in my district and Jen Storm hasn't showed up...I've stood at the funeral of children and Jen Storm wasn't there."
Senate leadership did not immediately respond to questions about whether they expect a candidate with a law degree forStorm's replacement.

As the number of motorcycles crashes continues to rise, state and local officials are urging all motorcyclists to practice safe driving behavior and for recently licensed individuals to enroll in motorcycle education courses.
"There's a lot of people dying on motorcycles," said Gwen Neundorfer, coordinator for the Lucas County Traffic Safety Program.
There were 177 fatal motorcycle crashes reported in the state last year, a 25 percent increase from 2004. Eleven of last year's fatal crashes occurred in Lucas County, one more than the year before, according to county statistics.
To date this year, five fatal motorcycle crashes have occurred in the county.
More than half the time, authorities faulted the motorcyclist for the accident.
The increase in fatalities has followed an increase in the number of motorcycles registered with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
There were 333,145 registered motorcycles last year, a 17 percent increase from 2001, according to the traffic safety program.
Those wishing to enroll in a local motorcycle education course may call Motorcycle Ohio at 614-466-4041.

New York State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is one factor driving investment in the state’s renewable energy industry. The RPS goal was recently expanded from 25% by 2013 to 30% by 2015. In order to achieve the RPS, NYSERDA offers grants and incentives to help bring down the costs of these clean resources.
More than any other county in New York, Madison County is at the forefront of the renewable energy industry. Madison County has developing industries in renewable energy solutions such as wind power generation, methane digestion, landfill gas utilization, feedstock production for ethanol and power generation, and more.
- Wind: Madison County is home to the first commercial scale wind farm in New York State and now has three wind farms with a fourth under development: Madison, Munnsville and Fenner are operating, and a new wind farm will soon be online in the three-township area of Eaton, Stockbridge and Madison.
- Methane: Madison County in conjunction with Waste Management – RE, currently captures and utilizes methane from the County’s landfill to produce electricity. Capturing the excess heat from this facility allows for the sustainable use of the combined heat / power (CHP) facility.
- Biomass/Feedstocks: Madison County is also researching the cultivation of feedstocks used in the production of ethanol or electricity. Madison County is abundant with agricultural crops, energy crops, and forests that are expected to supplement the traditional corn feedstock.
- Energy Masters, LLC, based in Canastota, produces photovoltaic arrays for commercial, military, and consumer markets.
The region also supports the renewable energy industry with competitive wages in representative positions. Being located between the Syracuse and Utica-Rome, Madison County draws labor from both markets, which is a key advantage. Wage rates in the region are significantly lower than in New York State as a whole.
|Median Hourly Wage of Renewable Energy Workers|
|Standard Occupational Classification||Occupation||Syracuse MSA (includes Madison County)||Utica – Rome MSA||New York State|
|17-3022||Civil Engineering Technicians||$30.78||–||$27.32|
|17-3023||Electrical and Electronic Engineers||$24.46||$16.32||$29.01|
|19-2041||Environmental Scientists and Specialists, Including Health||$30.70||–||$32.33|

The Fenner Renewable Energy Center, Inc., or “FREE Center”, is a grass-roots organization formed to educate the public on the benefits of renewable energy and other sustainable practices. The FREE Center is located on-site at the Fenner Wind Farm in Madison. It is organized to show the importance of green energy, and encourage others to embrace the clean energy lifestyle to ensure a better future.

Read “The psychology of fantasies – Part 1” HERE.
For the fulfilment of fantasies, open discussions contribute to the increase of intimacy in the couple. However, communication can be the one that leads to fine-tuning essential for the mental and physical health of the couple. But self-knowledge is also necessary. It doesn’t matter how you communicate to the other person what your preferences are if you don’t know what you like and what you don’t, what you are willing to try. In other words, the lesson is the same: the more correctly you know and evaluate yourself as a partner, the easier it will be for you to negotiate anything, from choosing the restaurant in Birmingham where to eat to the fantasies you want to experience.
Suppose you do not communicate your expectations, desires and needs in the relationship. In that case, you live with a roommate Who is even at a lesser level of experience than the one offered by an amateur escort. The challenge is this delicate balance between exposing yourself in your accurate colours and empathy and caring for the other, with all its differences and contrasts. The discussions themselves do not produce significant effects but help the attitude of openness, flexibility, acceptance of the other in your intimate space. The willingness to listen, receive information, process it correctly, and then give the other person the chance to manifest in your couple will lead to the permanence of feelings and the construction of a framework of safety and emotional health.
Suppose you know that you have a partner who is willing to ask you and find out what your fantasies are, how he or she can put them into practice, what to change, what to improve, to have initiative and to get involved in your repertoire of desires. In that case, it is a sign of maturity and relational versatility. Not all of us are necessarily artists in this way, but, in the end, this is what we are talking about in a relationship: to become better with each other, to want to grow with each other and with his help, regardless of whether we are talking about the social or emotional sphere. But if you do not find these advantages in your partner, then only a female Birmingham escort can help you temporarily.
But why are we so reluctant to discuss fantasy issues? In an age where we are all more present than ever in the virtual environment, the paradox is ironic because we feel more disconnected and lonely than ever. Socially speaking, taboos arise from this enormous pressure placed on marriages and Birmingham couples to be complex partners: husband, lover, best friend, father, brother, sister and mother. We want to be too many things and people at the same time. Due to such exaggerated expectations, the premise of failure is born. No one can offer you the solution for everything.
The fulfilment of fantasies was and still is a tributary of a mentality associated with shame, embarrassment, restraint, something hidden and talked about in a whisper, something that places us either in the area of dishonest behaviour or passionate extravagance. The reality is that, in privacy, we are all people who want to be validated and accepted for who we are, whether some like to fulfil their fantasies under the moonlight or others are excited by a romantic dinner by a lake. Shame is, however, a treacherous emotion, which we learn from childhood concerning ourselves, but also to our desire.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitek Systems (Nasdaq:MITK) (
www.miteksystems.com ), a leading mobile imaging software solutions provider and the pioneer of Mobile Deposit
® technology, and Allied Payment Network (
www.AlliedPayment.com ) today announced a partnership that delivers the next generation of mobile bill payment with Mitek's Mobile Photo Bill Pay
Using Mitek's innovative Mobile Photo Bill Pay technology, bank and credit union customers can make payments directly from their camera-enabled smartphone or tablet by snapping a picture of any bill. This "snap to pay" functionality is the first of its kind in the industry. Allied Payment Network was the first bill pay processor to leverage Mitek's Mobile Photo Bill Pay technology when they unveiled their Picture Pay
™ solution in November 2012.
"With Mitek's Mobile Photo Bill Pay, Allied Payment Network enables regional and community banks and credit unions to offer their customers the ability to pay their bills with the snap of a picture," said Michael E. Diamond, senior vice president, business development for Mitek. "Our partnership with Allied extends our reach to deliver Mobile Photo Bill Pay to financial institutions of all sizes."
"The future of banking is here through Picture Pay, powered by Mitek's innovative Mobile Photo Bill Pay technology," commented Allied President Ralph Marcuccilli. "Picture Pay is available through Malauzai Software (Austin, TX,
www.malauzai.com ) and a growing number of mobile banking vendors and provides banks with a simple, easy to use bill pay tool. Giving customers the ability to pay a bill in seconds from a mobile device is critical to attracting and retaining the rapidly growing market of mobile customers."
Jeff Casey, Senior Vice President at First Financial Bank, N.A., Abilene, Texas, embraces the simplicity of the technology for its customers: "Anywhere. Anytime. Picture Pay takes away the inconvenient, time-consuming reality of paying bills online or with a checkbook, and replaces it with a quick, easy snap of a picture. Industry trends predict over one billion mobile banking users in the next few years, and we see the camera as a key to mobile banking success."

The planet’s third-largest country by both area and population, the US is a world leader across pretty much every sphere of human activity – business, technology, science, politics, media, and of course education.
The US is home to many of the world’s most prestigious universities (including half of the global top 10), and hosts more international students than any other country – around 1.1 million by the latest count.Read on for information about studying in the US at graduate level – including how to apply, student visas, fees and funding, and staying to seek work.
How to apply for graduate study in the US- To be eligible for graduate study in the US, you should have completed a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from an internationally recognized institution. Along with your degree certificate, you will also typically need to provide:
One or more letters of recommendation
A research proposal (for PhD and postdoctoral applicants);
A graduate admissions test result, if required (e.g. GRE/GMAT);
Proof of proficiency in English (e.g. TOEFL/IELTS) if you are not a native speaker;
A statement of purpose, outlining your aspirations and demonstrating your suitability for the course.
While some institutions accept applications on an ongoing basis, most colleges offer an early deadline (usually December to January) and a regular deadline (usually March to April). You can apply to as many US universities as you like, but many students select a shortlist of six.
US universities often charge an application fee, usually between $50 and $100, though online applications can be cheaper or free. Thinking of studying a PhD in the US? Read our guide on how to find and fund a PhD.
How to apply for a US student visa – International students will need to obtain an F-1 non-immigrant visa. You can only apply for this after securing a place at an SEVP-approved university, and you’ll need to provide proof of sufficient funds for the course duration and a confirmation of your intention to leave the US after completing your studies. You’ll be asked to attend an interview at your local US embassy, bringing your application and supporting documents with you.
If you’re a Canadian or Bermudian citizen you won’t need a visa to study in the US, but you will still need to obtain an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility form and pay for SEVIS (the student database and tracking system) registration. The non-immigrant visa application fee is currently $160 and the registration fee for SEVIS is $200.
Tuition fees- Tuition fees at US universities are well known for being on the high side. Private universities tend to charge higher fees, and usually have a single rate for both local and international students.
Public universities will have a lower rate for students from within their state, and a higher rate for international students and out-of-state residents. If you wish to undertake a professional degree such as an MBA, JD, LLM or MD, you should also expect to pay considerably more than for other postgraduate programs.
All US universities are legally required to include a fees and financial aid calculator on their websites. Use this to get a quick estimate of how much your intended course of study would cost, and what funding you may be eligible for. You can access all net price calculators in one place here.
Funding- The good news is that many students are able to benefit from some form of financial aid, and often the most competitive institutions offer the most generous support. For example, five major US universities are entirely “need blind”, pledging to offer sufficient financial assistance for all students (both domestic and international) who are selected for admission, regardless of their financial situation. These schools are Harvard, Amherst, Yale, Princeton and MIT.
As US government aid schemes and loans are often not available to international students, you’ll probably find your best sources of funding are those offered by your chosen university and/or other organizations. Scholarships and grants may be awarded based on financial need, academic achievements and/or other talents, and may also take into account factors relating to your background and field of study.
While the largest funding packages are often found at the top end of the private sector, many public universities offer alternative support. An example is the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) scheme, which allows students with F-1 visas to gain paid, off-campus internships. Another funding option is the Fulbright Program, an initiative led by the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Living costs- Depending on where you decide to study in the US, the cost of living can vary considerably. Believe it or not, living costs in the US can often be lower than those in other popular study destinations.
Suburban and rural areas in the South and Midwest generally have the lowest cost of living, with big urban centers like New York City entailing considerably higher living expenses (New York University gives an average annual estimate of $24,000). To supplement your income, you may like to seek part-time work on campus. However, work off-campus in your first year is restricted by visa regulations.
Post-graduation degree work in the US- After graduation, F-1 visa holders are generally entitled to stay in the country for up to one year of post-graduation practical training. In order to do this you’ll need to apply for a change in visa status within 60 days after graduation, or risk being deported. There are two types of practical training, known as optional (OPT) and curricular (CPT). Both can be completed either during your degree or after graduation, but must not exceed 12 months and must be in a role directly related to your field of study. Some STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students may also be eligible to extend their practical training period by an additional 24 months. Meet US grad schools in a city near you- The QS World Grad School Tour is your chance to meet representatives of leading grad schools from across the US, and around the world. Get personal answers to your questions, attend free seminars about grad school admissions, and gather all the information you need. Attendees are also eligible to apply for exclusive scholarships.

Lawsuits against 401(k) plans going bad are on the rise, and they aren't just filed against big retirement plans any more. These lawsuits are centered on the bad investments, high costs and "revenue sharing," according to a report on Bloomberg.
Law firm Nichols Kaster calls the 401(k) "one of the most expensive plans in America" in its proposed class action suit against Fujitsu Technology and Business of America Inc. over a $1.3 billion retirement plan.
One Of The Newest Cases
In a lawsuit filed last week in a San Jose federal court, the attorneys alleged a large amount of fiduciary breaches connected to "excessive fees, record keeping, and the components of the company's target-date funds."
Bloomberg said the law firm compared Fujitsu plan fees with roughly 650 other plans of comparable asset size. "Among 401(k)'s with that much money, the average plan has annual costs that amount to 0.33 percent of assets, according to the complaint; it estimates that Fujitsu's costs were 0.88 and 0.90 percent for 2013 and 2014," Bloomberg read.

The law firm said this "would have led to at least $7 million in excess fees that could have been socked away in employee nest eggs, the complaint stated."
Furthermore, the report said, "Fujitsu America, which provides technology and business support to affiliated companies, has yet to answer the complaint or make an appearance in the case, and a company spokesman declined to comment."
'Just The Beginning'
Bloomberg, citing Wagner Law Group, said lawsuits like this one "are just the beginning" and come on the back of high-profile suits filed and won by Jerome Schlichter, of the St. Louis law firm Schlichter Bogard & Denton.
"It started with Schlichter doing cases against very large corporations in America," Wagner told Bloomberg. "And now it's going to start to be a free-for-all."
"With more attorneys seeing an opportunity, smaller plans are starting to feel the heat. After launching four 401(k) lawsuits alleging breach of fiduciary duty late last year, Minneapolis-based Nichols Kaster has filed four more in 2016, most recently against Fujitsu and American Century's $600 million plan," Bloomberg said.
Meanwhile, the report said 2016 has already seen a 401(k) plan be hit with a lawsuit, despite holding less than $10 million in assets, "a development that garnered the attention of many players in the small plan universe."

Today we are going to talk about HP Pavilion 13-s128nr x360, which is a 13.3-Inch Full-HD 2-in-1 Laptop equipped with an Intel Core i5-6200U Dual-Core Processor 2.3GHz, an 8GB DDR3L SDRAM Memory, 128GB Solid-State Drive, a 13.3″ diagonal FHD IPS WLED-backlit touch screen with 1920×1080 resolution, and Intel HD Graphics 520 with up to 4052MB total graphics memory. The laptop is running on Windows 10 Home operating system.
The HP Pavilion 13-s128nr laptop supports up to 11 hours and 45 minutes of battery, which makes it perfect for using on-the-go. You can take it anywhere you want, and you won't miss your daily tasks when traveling. It weighs only 3.77 pounds, so no problem carrying it around.
This HP Pavilion 13 is a convertible PC, with four modes, it's an app-loving, friend-connecting, 360 Degree-bending machine. We can easily convert from notebook to stand to tent to tablet mode. The laptop features HP with Audio by B&O PLAY that delivers the rich, authentic audio experience that immerses you so deeply in your music and entertainment that you can feel it. The Full HD IPS touchscreen display allows us to experience your visuals in captivating quality with a Full HD IPS touchscreen and get all the benefits of convenient touch-based navigation.
As a 2-in-1 Laptop, the 13-s128nr x360 is priced at $569.99 & FREE Shipping at Amazon, I think it's pretty fair. Its overall performance is brilliant, definitely worth the money.
The screen is great. Very sharp and bright. I will have to take it outside for a real test of the brightness. Using it as a touch screen, it is very responsive. All in all, it is an excellent and robust 2 in 1 system for everyday use that has an impressive display, is well-constructed, and relatively lightweight.

Pro: THe flight was slightly delayed, but nothing to speak of.
Pro: the efficiency and friendlyness of the staff simply fantastic.the journey was very short but everything from check in to baggage collection ran so smoothly.i will want to fly with this airline many more times.
Pro: Staff was pleasant on the short flight
Kontra: It's a cheap airline so no frills, literally nothing.
Pro: All good
Pro: Boarding was appropriate and by zones and respected.
Kontra: Flight was delayed
Kontra: This was a return flight I was taking. But even though I paid for a bag when booking, Kayak only booked the bag on the flight over. It there for cost me $48 to book the bag on at the airport one way back. For some reason when I was paying they could not take for the full amount on my CC and so I had to go change money as $8 had to be paid cash (very strange). The flight was very uncomfortable. I could go into detail but now I’m just ranting. Not happy. Won’t be doing that again.
Kontra: I am not sure why they were delayed.
Kontra: Seats we given did not recline .as they were just in front of emergency exit . The extra leg room seats were empty, but would have to pay extra to sit on them
Kontra: The flight cancelled.first we boarded twice and been waiting for 7 hours Inside and outside the plane thereafter they gave up and decided to cancel it ..it was nightmare
Pro: They were very professional, polite and helpful
Pro: No fuss, well organised.
Pro: Leg space and good arm rest
Kontra: No in flight entertainment (movies)
Pro: The crew are ok. They should find jobs with other, better airlines.
Kontra: Flight delayed on both legs. Delay management horrible, call centre was worse.
Pro: In flight meal.
Kontra: Got told luggage would go straight to bali from origin in Nepal. Waited at baggage check in jarkata just in case. Sure enough, our baggage comes out. Transfer to domestic terminal was almost impossible since we were given no information and our flight number changed completely. All of a sudden it was batik air not malindo, which has a completey different terminal. Will not be travelling with malindo again.
Pro: Love the width of the seat, the free 30kg luggage allowance and food. All provided without extra cost.
Pro: Delayed 1 hour
Kontra: It would have been great to have a confirmation that you received our request before the day of departure. We thought the booking did not get through so we booked another company. We ended up losing the money for that ticket. We could not reach kayak and AirAsia, in their policy doesn’t cancel anything. I don’t know who was supposed to send us the confirmation but the money is gone
Pro: The value, I got low price ticket. Polite , helpful crew. On schedule. Using apps for check in, no paper harassment. Didn't try food, and no use for entertainment for short flight. Don't have baggage.
Kontra: Space was so cramped, aisle and between seats. Would be very uncomfortable for people with long legs, long flight. Even cabin crew could hardly help with baggage on boarding in and out because of the space. Should be more firm on one cabin bag+one handbag policy, many inconsiderate passanger carry more so it was even more cramped.
Pro: Almost everything except for the seats..
Kontra: The seats.. too small..
Pro: Friendly staffs - both on the Fllight as well as the Ground Staffs.
Kontra: I cannot think of any
Pro: the boarding, the attention to detail exactly how i remembered Singapore Airlines from many times i travelled.
Kontra: The food was disgraceful, the entertainment, the quality of the movies was poor..
Pro: Food, service
Pro: one of the crew was rude. my spouse forgot to fold-up the cup holder, the hostess heat the holder so hard while walking. I don't know but it appeared as very very rude.
Kontra: Improve the process for boarding people were standing there for 45 minutes to 1 hour. People there needs training
Kontra: The layover in Singapore was a nightmare with insufficient hotel accommodation, nothing but Asian food and overly officious security staff.
Pro: Entertainment system ok
Kontra: Change if gate 30 minutes before departure and no info at old gate. New gate very far away, terrible for old people.
Pro: Very good for the price I paid
Kontra: Somehow I couldn't check in online, or at the kiosk. There was only 2 check-in desk for domestic flights in KLIA2. Long lines and waited 20 minutes. Thankfully the staff at the counter allowed me to check in, despite having only 50 minutes to spare.
Kontra: Flight delay for almost 4 hour
Pro: On time boarding ...very efficient
Kontra: Offer same type of value food...even worst tasteless
Pro: On time
Kontra: I was separate with my wife even if similar seats were available. To be with her, i had to pay.
Kontra: Crew service
Kontra: Worst food ever.
Pro: The hospitality of the staff Smooth sailing process
Kontra: The food and the seats and leg room is too small especially for larger people
Pro: Attendants were kind.
Kontra: Frequent delays to flight timings, and it was hard to find where the flight gate was as I couldn't find one on the screen. It was a little bit crowded. No food was given (probably because it's only 50mins flight but I wished there were snacks or drinks given for us)
Pro: easy securityand boarding at kl
Kontra: food bland
Pro: New Boeing 787, crew very tidy and efficient.
Kontra: The change over in Dubai for crew change. Shame we have to leave the aircraft and re-board. The entertainment kept playing up and the choice of films was not brilliant.
Kontra: airplane is a little bit old.
Pro: Best crew I have ever had
Kontra: Leg room is too small.
Pro: Love the 787. Best windows best toilets, 3by 3 seating. Love daytime travel. Am senior and given bes t possible aisle seat. Friendly check in a t Melbourne. Super cabin crew all smiling and keen to assist...all very smart dress.Good movie selection on average screen. Good service pillows blankets. Above average lunch with quality beef. Good follwup refreshments. Good air quality. Good use of shaded window effect.Liked
Kontra: Worst was slow moving line at Melbourne. Not enough check ins. Missed the tail and fuselage cameras on 780 and 750. Seat covers look cheap and worn. Coffee and orange flavour not best. Screens not best eg Cathay and Qatar. Women cabin crew good to dress islamic but too restrictive. No t easy th o hear captain messages. Seat design only average. Bandar airport ver y beautiful but need better restaurant.
Pro: Crew are just the best
Kontra: Boarding was disorganised, excellent service otherwise.
Pro: Flying from U tapoa is a great way to get to Hat Yai from Bangsaray,25 mins awayjust over1 hour flight time. Quick check in , Great.
Kontra: Little crowded in the departures hall,
Kontra: Great flight experience
Pro: Fairly good value (although not particularly low fare)
Kontra: Poor leg room and slow boarding by bus. Flight was late and no updates given.
Pro: I was in three empty seats all to myself
Kontra: it was very basic no tv or music
Pro: Boarding time was accurate .
Kontra: One of the crew member was very hard and never smile at all, and not polite also.
Pro: On time, nice service, safe arrival
Kontra: On board food relatively expensive
Pro: Friendly crew, clean, smooth boarding and arrival (incl baggage)
Kontra: Automated check-in is a pain for a family. There's really no room for your legs (I'm 1.8m and no chance I don't touch the next seat) - esp for old people not to recommend as definitely not healthy to be that squeezed. Worse than any other low cost carried from a space perspective.
Pro: Friendly crew quick and uneventful flight
Kontra: At check in our family was separated all over the plane. When querying after receiving the boarding passes told can’t do anything until he jestar supervisor put us in the same row. The plane was barely a third full so bit of effort from the initial staff would have helped.
Kontra: Seats uncomfortable Cabin temperature too low
Pro: The flight board on time
Kontra: The airport didn't show the gate correctly. When the passenger ask the airport staff also don't know everything. My goodness.
Pro: Generally okay and what one could reasonably expect for a regional low cost flight in Thailand. Ground staff were friendly and helpful despite huge numbers of people travelling. Likewise the cabin crew did their best given the low cost nature of the flight and having a full plane.
Kontra: Paid for seat selection, which I thought brought with it some priority in boarding, however that was not to be and instead boarding was a bit of a free-for-all with no management of the situation by ground staff. The seat pitch is also hideous and even being of average height it was near impossible to even move my legs to retrieve something off the floor.
Kontra: For tall people - there isn't very much leg space, but this was OK for a short flight
Pro: It’s worth the money.
Kontra: Small flight, no entertainment or food.
Pro: Good, orderly boarding procedure. Friendly and efficient air stewards and stewardess.
Kontra: needs more check in kiosks at PEN airport, aircraft seats quite narrow and not much leg room
Kontra: Boarding process Delayed flight
Kontra: Going from one hot country to another so had no need for a winter coat... it was so cold on that flight I caught a cold
Kontra: Check in waiting time 45 mins Flight delay 1.5 hours Air Steward cologne overpowered.
Pro: very nice while Landed and take off.
Kontra: We did not order any foods. No suggestion.
Kontra: Seats are super cramped and recline doesn't do much.
Pro: Really a pleasant flight experience! The cabin crews are delightful!
Kontra: The Air Asia Penang self baggage drop was chaotic and utterly disorganized. Despite the long line, travelers with closer flight departures were given the priority to cut queue.
Pro: Short flight, cheap, efficient
Kontra: lack of room on plane, ground check in staff not very helpful at Surat Thani Airport
Pro: All went well good directions at airport
Kontra: Air aisia check in terminal 2 not 1
Pro: All good
Pro: It's a no frills airline! Plane on time, clean, arrived on time. What more do you want?
Pro: Cheap flight. Delayed due to aircraft issue, I think. At least they were honest about it and apologized.
Kontra: Again, as this is a budget airline, you really can't expect too Much from them. They get you from point a to point b, that's enough. You will have to sacrifice your own comfort.
Pro: Punctuality was good. No complaints generally.
Kontra: Temp in cabin too high.
Kontra: I need wheelchair but your crew an Indian Lady I think in the check -in counter did not give me wheelchair from Singapore. She said but in Mla she assigned wheel chair but when in Manila they said Scoot did not assigned wheelchair inmy ticket. I hate you Scoot and I will never take scoot again in any of my up coming trips
Pro: All in all a pretty good flight. Nothing much to write home about but nothing really went wrong. Pretty Good and what you'd expect.
Kontra: Wasn't thrilled that I had to pay SGD48 both ways for up to 15kg check in. That extra SGD96 would have made a difference when comparing flights on Kayak. Delays leaving HK and SG but all of it was on the tarmac so not really Scoots fault.

Today I have a rather honest post and, if I’m completely truthful, I am quite embarrassed about the subject matter, but I really wanted to share this not only for myself, but in case it helps others who are maybe experiencing the same issues or feelings in any way.
So here goes…..
According to my Goodreads account which I started the back end of 2014 I read….
63 books in 2015
37 books in 2016
I openly admitted that I was disappointed in my reading last year in 2016. Although by my own admission I had not kept track properly of everything I read so at the start of this year, 2017, I was all set and raring to go! Books in order on my shelves. Exciting proof copies ready to be read. Debut authors to discover along the way with firm favourite authors with exciting books coming out that I simply had to get me hands on.
2017 was going to be my best reading year yet!
And then I caught it! That rare thing that seems to happen every now and again. Only this has stuck with me nearly all year…..
So let me explain a little….
Its November 2017 and so far this year I have read a grand total of…..
Wait for it……
Yes that’s right! 8!
*scoffs at my measly 8*
*hides in complete embarrassment*
Recently I’ve been looking at this evil number 8 and reflecting on why this has exactly happened. I’ve been busy in my personal life with work, family and fitness more this year and have had my fair few reading slumps where the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a book, but I hit the nail on the head whilst talking to a friend this week.
I have a case of Pick-Up-A-Book-Read-At-Least-Half-And-Then-Put-It-Down-I-Tus or as it is more commonly known the actual inability to finish an actual book!
*shrieks in horror*
Without realising it and whilst I have been punishing myself for my number 8 I have been starting books and not actually finishing them. There on my shelf were gorgeous books full of curious worlds with brightly coloured decorated book marks sticking out of the top of them. They were literally sitting there waiting to welcome me back into their pages where I had left characters in the midst of an adventure, running away from danger, falling in love or even going through their own trials and tribulations. I added how many of these I could find scattered around my bedroom and office…..29!
29 books that I have actually started reading and then never went back to. Not because the books were bad or awful, but because I appear to be unable to finish an actual book!
For someone who normally has a one book at a time rule this is just shocking!
What am I even doing?!
Why has this happened?!
Who even am I?
I’m such a blogging let down!
All of these questions have been running around my mind more than once or twice this year and causing me to retreat further and further away from books even though I know they give me such solace and love in their individual ways.
So what on earth happened? It could be the distraction of shiny new books in my possession or the fact that things have been busy or do I really have some underliying issue with actually finishing a book. It could be a number of these things or, as I’ve come to realise, a combination of all of the above. For the past few weeks more than ever I’ve been beating myself up about just that, my inability to actually pick something up and actually finish it. And thinking about my number 8 has just made it all worse in my head. I have been beating myself up about it and in turn added to my list of reasons for all of this. Pressure is never a good thing really is it?
I sat down to write this as a kind of talking to myself to get it out of my system kind of post to help with the fact that I feel so ashamed of everything to do with my reading this year, but whilst writing this I realised that 8 and 29 are just a number. It’s as simple as that. It does not take away the fact that I have supported and showcased amazing authors and books on my blog or the fact that those 8 books I have read have been great books that I have enjoyed from page to page. I’m telling myself whilst typing this that it’s actually okay. It’s okay to have had a bad reading year and it’s okay to be able to put a book down and come back to it another time when the timing is better or you’re not so tired and just want to binge watch Stranger Things in your PJ’s.
It’s okay to still be passionate about something and not feel like a complete failure because of your inability to actually finish a book for example! Those books will still be there with their stories and glorious worlds and unforgettable characters in the future.
So I am taking a big deep breath and starting a new page where a number is just a number and a good book can be the absolute best cure. But most of all I am saying that it’s okay to have not read as many books as everyone else or that I am going to completely fail my Goodreads challenge this year. Sometimes it’s the little things that count even if that’s a little number.
So to me when I am reading this back or to anyone that is feeling the same as me this year or any other year in the years to come…..it’s okay. Take your time. Enjoy new things. Take the pressure off a little. But most of all don’t worry about your number or how little you feel you are reading or doing. Even a couple of pages a night is better than nothing at all, but if that’s not even possible then that’s totally fine too. You are amazing and totally not defined by the number of books you read every year. Characters and worlds will always be waiting with open arms whenever you are ready.

Whether you make new year’s resolutions or not, the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about how to do more of the things you love. Here at Mother Raw, plants are our passion and we believe there’s no time like the present to start eating more of them. If you’re interested in trying a plant-based diet, we’re here to share some tips and tricks and to remind you how creative and delicious you can get with plants. Read on for our five favorite ways to put more plants on your plate in 2021.
Shop fresh & local
Get excited about plants by shopping local and keeping seasonality in mind! Fruits and veggies that are fresh and in season are the most tasty and nutrient dense! Check out a seasonal calendar to plan your meals around what’s fresh locally throughout the year. You’ll also be supporting local businesses and the environment. Another plus is that buying local, in-season produce usually means you’ll get a better price. Take a look at where to buy Mother Raw products near you and you’ll be all set for your plant-based endeavours!
Wash, chop, & prep
Get your fruits and veggies ready to eat as soon as you get home from the store. Washing, chopping, and prepping them right away means they’ll be ready to eat whenever you’re craving a snack or making quick plant-based meals. The easier it is to reach for them when you need them, the more likely you’ll be to eat more fruits and vegetables. Why not whip up a plant-based ready-to-eat salad with your fresh veggies and your favorite Mother Raw dressing? This one is simple but oh so flavorful, and there’s a lot more where that came from on our recipes page.
Sneak in some greens
There are many ways to get in more veggies simply by adding greens to things you’re already making. Add wilted spinach to your pasta sauce. Mix some greens into a soup or try our Broccoli Queso Cheese Soup. Cook some kale into your favorite stir-fry with this Mother Raw Japanese Dressing. Blend frozen spinach into smoothies or smoothie bowls. And voilà, you’re eating more plants without a second thought.
Swap your favorites
We love when we can make simple changes to an existing favorite and eat more plants at the same time. Swap the noodles in your favorite pasta or noodle dish for a veggie (and gluten-free) alternative like one of these! Change out chicken wings for these tasty BBQ Cauliflower Wings. Ditch the beef burger for a veggie burger with this epic Special ‘Mac’ Sauce. These are some simple ways to eat more veggies and mix up your old routine without compromising on taste.
Sauce it up
Whether your veggies are raw or roasted, steamed or sauteed, make them even more flavorful with sauces and dips. Add one of Mother Raw’s delicious dressings to your salad, dip to your crudites, or queso to your cauliflower. All of our products are plant-based too, so we make it easy for you to add even more plants to your diet this year. We’ve got you covered for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh, and snacks too.
Whatever your goals look like for 2021, we hope you find some tasty new ways to enjoy more plants. We’re always here to help provide plant-based inspiration. Wishing you a RAWesome new year from all of us at Mother Raw!

EFIL together with AFS International attended the European Conference ‘Citizens for Global Education, Education for Global Citizenship’on 24-25 June in Brussels. The event was organised by DEEEP, a project of CONCORD‘s DARE Forum, the European Development NGO confederation.
The Conference aimed at bringing together practitioners, institutions, academics and educators to discuss a proposal on Global Citizenship Education for the successor of the current Millennium-Development Goals of the UN which will be adopted in 2015. EFIL and AFS International gave their contribution at the workshops on assessment and measurement of Global Citizenship Education.
Currently, UN Development goals concerning Education aim at achieving primary education for all. The post-2015 framework aims at including quality next to access within the Education goal, which would allow including a target of Global Citizenship Education. So far, the target proposed is:
By 2030, all learners acquire knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to establish sustainable and peaceful societies, including through global citizenship education and education for sustainable development
The outcomes of the discussions at the Conference are gathered in the Brussels Proposal which serves as a basis for further advocacy.The new UN Development goals will be adopted in September 2015 and CONCORDE-DARE, UNESCO, Global Education First Initiative, Global Campaign For Education, Oxfam International are leading the advocacy actions.
At the moment the stakeholders gathered around the topic of Global Citizenship Education are mainly development cooperation organisations, and so are the Civil society organisations involved in the advocacy on this topic towards the UN.
All the outcomes of the Conference are available here.

I still remember the day I was introduced to cinnamon toast. I was 8 and over at a friend’s house.
“Hey, let’s have cinnamon toast!” She said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“You don’t know what cinnamon toast is?”
“OMG! We have to make it then. It’s amazing!”
Maybe it was the fact that I was young, but it changed my whole idea of what you could do with toast. It never occurred to me that adding something as simple as sugar and cinnamon to it could make it into the most amazing carmelized cinnamon sweetness. I thought bread was made for sandwiches and buttered toast.
It changed my 8 year old life.
But I rarely make it. I find that this treat, albeit more of a snack than a breakfast, is great on those bleak winter days or rainy afternoon paired with tea or coffee.
1/4 tablespoon of soft butter
2 slices of toast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Place to slices of bread on a baking sheet or foil.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar.
Divide the soft butter into half and slather each half onto a slice of bread.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over each slice of bread.
Bake at 350 for 5 minutes.
Makes 2 slices. Per slice.
This is definitely comfort food. And the whole house smells amazing while it’s being baked.

Obituary of Adelaide MacInnis
View Funeral Mass here https://youtu.be/4MKCH_IGrEw
It is with profound sadness, but acknowledgement of a life well lived, that we announce the passing of Adelaide MacInnis age 89, at St. Martha’s Hospital surrounded by loved ones on January 12th, 2021. Born October 29, 1931 in Inverness, Cape Breton, she was the youngest daughter of the late Dougall and Margaret (Beaton) Deagle. She was predeceased by her husband Charles “Buddy” MacInnis, her son Brian in infancy and daughter Anne (Brian Myers). She was also predeceased by siblings Jack, Robert, Bernard, Billy and Johnny, and Cathy Gillis. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
She is survived by children Charles (Judy Mettam), Ian (Wendy Power), Joan (Andre Weingartshofer), and Eileen (Peter Melong). Her pride and joy were her nine grandchildren, remembering their Nanny fondly are Kyla and Nicholas MacInnis (Charles), David Myers (Anne), Victoria and Steven MacInnis (Ian), Paul and Dr. Tony Weingartshofer (Joan), and Shaylene and Janique Melong (Eileen). Also great grandchildren Landon, Shelton, Mya, and Titan. Her fifth great grandchild is due to arrive in March. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
During World War II, her family moved to Pictou where her brothers and father were employed at the shipyard. After the war her family returned to Inverness and Adelaide attended the Holy Family High School. Following high school her family moved to Antigonish where she attended Mount St. Bernard College and she began her career as a bookkeeper at MacDonald’s Grocery Store in Antigonish. She then married Buddy in 1955 and started a family. Once all the children were in school, Adelaide worked at Canadian Tire in Antigonish.
Guided by a strong faith, she treasured her family, often sending “nanny’s prayers” when they were needed most. Known within the family as a “financial wizard” she prided herself on providing for the family and on her ability to stretch a dollar as far as she could. A trained seamstress and knitter she clothed her family with everything from prom dresses to wool socks. Adelaide wasn’t afraid of rolling up her sleeves and using a little elbow grease, priding herself in her ability to complete home repairs and maintaining spotless floors. Never short of words, Nanny wasn’t afraid of speaking her mind, frequently lending encouragement, or as she would say “a boot in the arse”. She valued education and hard work and never missed an opportunity to show her guests the family shrine that adorned her living room wall.
Adelaide came from a musical family, having fond memories of step dancing and singing in Inverness during her childhood. In her earlier years she won trophies at the married peoples bowling league in Antigonish. She was an avid skater and enjoyed playing cards and darts with her friends at club 60. Her favorite event of the year was the Antigonish Highland Games where she enjoyed the heavyweight events and the afternoon Ceilidh with son Charlie. She will forever be remembered for her famous rolls and delicious meals served every weekend to her children and dozens of their closest friends and future in-laws.
Special thanks to the Palliative Care Team at St. Martha’s Hospital for their kindness and wonderful care, as well as Drs. Emma and John Chaisson and Dr. Gallivan. Special thank you also to Dr. Michael MacKenzie (retired), her long time physician, and Pharmacist, Arnold Hudson who answered her many questions.
Funeral arrangements are under the care of MacIsaac Funeral Home. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there will be no public wake. Funeral Mass to be held at 11:00am Saturday, Jan 16th St. Ninian's Cathedral, Antigonish. In consideration of public health restrictions numbers will be limited in the church, please keep this in mind as not everyone may be granted entry. For those who cannot attend in person a link to the funeral mass will be posted on the funeral home's website following the Mass.

Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson is in Boston getting tests on his injured neck.
Gibson did not play in Sunday's comeback win over the Celtics and did not return to Cleveland with the Cavs. A team spokesman said Gibson is at Beth Israel Hospital getting tested. The Cavs do not know when Gibson will return. Gibson said his neck began hurting during Friday night's game against New Jersey.
Also, Cavs starting guard Anthony Parker did not practice Monday because of a sore lower back. Parker played just 14 minutes against the Celtics.
Cavs coach Byron Scott said Gibson and Parker will both miss Tuesday's home game against the Celtics.
Scott said Parker was grimacing in pain during Sunday's game and asked to be taken out. Parker is averaging 6 points and 23 minutes.

One problem with the Aral Sea is the anthrax
buried on an island there. By traveling to the Russian
island of Vozrozhdeniye one can easily gain access to anthrax spores that are prepared for use as a biological weapon
During the Cold War the Russians developed anthrax for use as a biological weapon, but they decided to bury the containers for the spores several feet under the sand of the island of Vozrozhdeniye. The island is in the shrinking sea of Ajan. As it is one could easily use a truck and a boat to get there, as there is no security protecting the island.
Apparently many wonder why anyone should be concerned, as all of the spores may be dead, and if they are not it would take significant testing to find out which spores are and are not. However I wonder why someone wouldn't just use all of the spores instead of testing them, the dead ones would obviously have little affect but they probably wouldn't impede on the rest of the spores. Also the threat seems unlikely because on nine seperate occasions a terrorist group has attempted to use anthrax on a Japanese subway, eventually giving up on anthrax and switching to sarin nerve gas, killing 22.
After the terrorist attacks on the United States Pentagon and World Trade Centre buildings of September 11, 2001 this would seem frightening. However, the failures of the past in dealing with anthrax insist that the problem is not great.

Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples.
At least, it is in England. In the US, 'cider' is rough apple juice,
'hard cider' is the fermented stuff! In France it's cidre,
it's sidra and in the German-speaking world it's apfelwein.
all quite different, but they're all based on apples!
cider is fairly straightforward. It's made from 100% juice and
'vintage' English cider apples. There are many different ways of making
cider and I don't think one should be too dogmatic about which is the
I don't, for instance, agree with the purists that pasteurisation or
use of apple juice concentrate should necessarily be regarded with
- in my view, excellent ciders can still be made that way (although I
happen to do it myself). On the other hand, I'm not too keen on making
high strength 'glucose wine' with added sugars and then diluting it
with water. But I'm a great believer in the controlled use of
dioxide, although I've now moved away from cultured yeasts in favour of
a semi-natural succession of 'wild yeasts'. What I do suits
in any case I'm always experimenting!
If you're really interested in the exact details, you can find
out of date!) descriptions of my orchard and my current cidermaking
on the following links:
Something to read!
years ago, I wrote a series of articles on small-scale cidermaking for
a 'self-sufficiency' magazine called 'Home Farm' (now re-named 'Country
Smallholding'). The copyright in the articles is mine and I
it might be useful to put them here on the Web so that anybody who's
can read them.
Click on the titles below if you want to read these articles.
they were written in a simple and chatty style for a magazine. I have
them lightly to bring them up to date a bit, but otherwise they remain
as originally published in 1992. I've probably changed my personal
to cidermaking a little since then, but the basics haven't altered!!
In 2008 I considerably updated and expanded the "Science of
Cidermaking" and it's now available to purchase as a book called
extra stuff for boffins.......
....... for technologists,
...... and for historians!!
you want to know more?
If you want a serious scientific treatment of the subject you
read my chapter on 'Cidermaking' in 'Fermented
Beverage Production' (second edition) edited by Andrew Lea
Piggott. In that chapter you'll find lots of references to
Long Ashton work, which was also very ably reviewed in various
articles by my old boss Fred Beech, whose knowledge of cider chemistry
and microbiology was encyclopedic and unsurpassed. Sadly, Fred died in
autumn 1995, and with him went the end of an era.
You can see an abridged
version of this
by clicking here, and an
shorter pictorial version here (beware
- it's a 1.3 MB PDF download so only for those on broadband!)
but if you want to see the whole thing
you'll have to
or borrow the book !
Some other reasonably priced and
'how-to-do-it' books which I recommend are
- Making, using and enjoying sweet and hard cider" by Annie
and Lew Nichols - ISBN 1-58017-520-1 - Storey Publishing, Massachusets.
This is the third edition published in 2003. I liked the
(1980) rather better - it had more pictures and drawings (and a
acknowledgement to me and all my Long Ashton colleagues, which got
due to a typo in the second edition and was not restored in the third!)
But the third edition does
plans for a press
the one I made for myself.
CIDERMAKING - On a small scale" by Michael Pooley and John
ISBN 1-85486-195-6 - Nexus Special Interests, Kent. This was
published in 1999, and is a good description of how to
make cider in a 'naturalistic' manner on a small scale at home
(but it does
contain a serious
typographical error!). This book, like the Proulx and
one, also includes plans for a small scale cider press, in this case of
the 'slatted basket' type. See the Shropshire
Apple Network website for more details about the book, the
and associated training courses.
- Hard and Sweet" by Ben Watson -
ISBN 978-0881508192 - The
Press, Woodstock, Vermont. The second edition of this book
was published in 2008
is an excellent practical guide similar in concept to the Proulx and
volume described above. It's written by an American author
US perspective but with a fair bit of European background and some
historical detail too.
All these books are currently in print and readily obtainable from
(or from a real bookshop, if you can get to one!)
- "The New Cider Maker's Handbook" (2013) by Claude Jolicoeur - ISBN 9781603584739 - Chelsea Green Publishing,Vermont -
is now the definitive manual for all small scale cidermakers in
North America and also beyond. Based on Claude's 25 years of
personal experience, plus discussions with other cidermakers
worldwide, it covers many topics not found elsewhere such as 'ice
ciders' and has a particular focus on naturally
conditioned sweet ciders from slow fermentations. Claude is an
engineer by profession so there are excellent discussions of mill
and press design too.
And a superb orcharding book (2001) by an ex Long Ashton colleague of
SOMERSET POMONA - the Cider Apples of Somerset"
by Liz Copas - ISBN
I-874336-87-3 - has now been privately reprinted and is available
directly from the author herself. There are 20 or
pages of interesting introduction about Somerset Cider Apples and their
use historically, a bit about the current UK craft cider
and then 80 individual apples described in detail with botanical,
and cider characteristics together with excellent coloured plates of
For some excellent and thoughtful historical background on
cidermaking and its current craft revival, plus lyrical essays and
photographs of many
contemporary craft cidermakers in the UK:
by James Crowden ISBN 9781841586274 was
published in 2008. It makes a cogent case for early bottled cider in
the 17th century, and in particular explains how the French
Champagne makers 50 years later borrowed their technology from
cidermakers in the Forest of Dean, and not the other way around!
Further book resources are given on my 'Further
Resources' page (well, where else?)
Web-based Cider Resources
look elsewhere on the Web for small-scale cidermaking information you
start with Gillian Grafton's Real
Cider and Perry Page.
This was taken over and maintained by Paul Gunningham for several
years. After his sad death in 2007 it was merged into Old
Scrump's Cider House

About Ai Lati
The Ai Lati brand was founded in 2005 by Federico de Majo. The Venetian designer has always worked in the lighting industry and gained his first professional experience in his Murano-based family business.
Ai Lati lights combine the traditional art of glass making with the latest technologies such as LED technology. The design is inspired by basic geometric shapes - such as a circle, globe or cylinder. The result is luminaires with a high level of aesthetics and functionality.
Not all lamps from Ai Lati are made of glass - there are also some made of other materials. The weatherproof outdoor lights, for example, are often made of aluminium - also in combination with plastics.
The Ai Lati luminaires fit in various environments. They are suitable for private use as well as for offices, hotels or restaurants. With their timeless design, they go far beyond the fickle character of fashionable fad products. You will enjoy it for a long time.

Hiring demand still strong in Malaysia, says report
Via The Malaysian Insider : The job market in Malaysia continues to remain upbeat, according to the Michael Page 2016 Southeast Asia Salary and Employment Outlook.
“We have observed an increase in hiring on a national basis rather than just Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding areas.
“While Kuala Lumpur remains dominant, we’re seeing key decisions and investment being made in other parts of the country,” said Michael Page managing director for Malaysia and Thailand, Paul Cooper.
As Malaysia seeks to become a manufacturing and logistics hub, demand for talents in these sectors has risen, with 31% of employers looking for talents in the manufacturing sector and 22% in the logistics sector, the report said.
It said although the government had continued its efforts to encourage Malaysians working overseas to return home through tax incentive schemes and the returning expert programme, most Malaysian expatriates were attracted by the opportunities and lifestyle abroad, with the weak ringgit further dampening salaries if they returned.
According to the report, 48% of Malaysians changed jobs to increase their salary, while 37% of respondents are expecting a salary increase of 6%-10% in the coming year.
“For Malaysia, salary and career progression are the top two motivators, at 64% 57% respectively, while recognition and benefits (55%) comes in third,” it said.
The survey is based on findings of more than 850 employers across a range of industry sectors in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The report aims to provide an overview on market and employment conditions and wages, and an outlook across the different sectors.

Although evidence has emerged to suggest that YAP overexpression is a crucial factor for tumor progression and resistance to targeted drugs in multiple cancers, the miRNA-mediated YAP regulation is still unclear. Here we show that the novel miR-550a-3-5p acts as a tumor suppressor and reverses BRAF inhibitor resistance through the direct targeting of YAP. Our data showed that the miR-550a-3-5p suppressed cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumor sphere formation through the direct inhibition of YAP and its oncogenic pathway in various cancer cell types. In addition, we showed that the YAP signature was associated with poor survival of colon cancer and identified an inverse correlation between miR-550a-3-5p and YAP in colon cancer tissues. Interestingly, this inverse correlation was regulated in a density-dependent manner. Furthermore, high levels of miR-550a-3-5p were associated with a good prognosis of esophageal cancer, which was suggestive of the clinical relevance of miR-550a-3-5p-mediated YAP regulation in multiple cancers. Importantly, we demonstrated that miR-550a-3-5p treatment sensitized vemurafenib-resistant colon and melanoma cells through YAP inhibition with reduced AKT activity. Moreover, the tumor-suppressive activity of miR-550a-3-5p and its sensitization effect for vemurafenib resistance were also observed in tumor xenograft models. Collectively, our data suggest that miR-550a-3-5p acts as a tumor suppressor through the targeting of oncogenic YAP and may be a new therapeutic tool for YAP-mediated BRAF inhibitor resistance in BRAF-mutant cancer cells.

It is a little ironic that this first information sheet published by the Projected Picture Trust should be on the classic American projector the Simplex. Patriots should be conforted however by the fact that the man most directly responsible for the quality of ingineering in the Simplex was a Scot, Francis B. Cannock, who had emigrated to America to work for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Cannock’s dictum, on wich the success of the Simplex was based, was that “The requierements of the machine fitting placed the thousandth of an inch as the limit of latitude; and on important parts ten-thousandths is the requierement.”
Click on the image and move your mouse to rotate in 360°
Is so many ways the Simplex is an adroit first choice since one of its creators was responsible for several major developments in motion pictures. This man was Edward Stanton Porter, best known today perhaps as the creator of film editing with ” The Life of an American Fireman” (1902) and for his immensely successful ” the Great Train Robbery” (1903) which gave us the screen’s first cowboy star, G.M “Bronco Billy” Anderson. The simplex can be seen as the most productive branch of the American technology tree. Its own precursor are Cannock’s Cinematograph and Edengraph but the Century (Westar), the Motiograph AA and the Ballantyne can be recognized as remote descendants while the Kaplan and the Wenzel mechanisms were direct copies.

When people need a material that’s strong yet lightweight, they usually look to carbon fiber. In the near future, however, they may instead choose to go with composite materials made from stretched carbon nanotubes. These materials could theoretically offer the same strength as carbon fiber at one-tenth the weight, or the same weight at ten times the strength. Researchers from North Carolina State University have recently succeeded in creating such a composite.

I’ll be leaving China soon, and it’s these 10 things you will certainly miss about China. After browsing the 10 Things Japan Got Right list, it got me thinking about what I’ll miss in the mainland.
1. Street Food (and small establishments)
Ok, I’ll be honest. The street food has made me run to the bathroom crying in agony more times than I’d like to admit—but for some reason, I still find myself crawling back to Lao Wang’s dumpling shop caked in black grease that is god-knows-how-old to buy some fried, oily dumplings (shenjian). Having some morning congee (zhou) with Chinese bread rolls (mantou) and washing it down with soy milk (doujiang) is a Chinese breakfast staple that can be found anywhere, anytime (and is DELICIOUS). Eating some Lanzhou Beef Noodles on a plastic bench outside at 3 AM hits the spot like nothing else. Buying some shrimp hundun (wontons) at the little shack near my gym after a run is my weekly guilty pleasure.
And oh man, ordering ban mian (mixed, dry noodles) with sesame or peanut oil is like a godsend. It’s better than sex. Having that with a hot lemon tea is nirvana.
All these dishes are under 5 USD, by the way. Having local street food at your fingertips for rock bottom prices is a joy, and definitely a plus, to living in China.
If you’re from the USA (or EU, or anywhere that isn’t China for that matter) then you probably know how much a taxi costs, and you can probably count the number of times you used a taxi in your home country on your fingers due to the exorbitant price. In the USA, a 15 mile distance can set you back 50 bucks. It’s crazy.
In China, taxis are ridiculously cheap and abundant. You can get a taxi anywhere, and even if you ride it all the way to the airport (a one hour drive) it will only set you back 30 USD at the most. I’ve been so spoiled by taxis here I really don’t know what I’m going to do when I head back to the states and, heaven forbid, drive myself.
Going drinking at the bar and need to get home at 4 AM for under 10 USD? Taxi!
Don’t feel like walking home in the rain and wouldn’t mind paying 3 USD for a ride home? Taxi!
Randomly decide to wake up at 5 AM to see the sunrise on the bund and need a way there? Taxi!
The cheap Chinese taxi is a godsend. Granted, the driver is usually crazy and sometimes the car smells mighty funky, but the convenience and price is simply unbeatable!
3. Being Blunt and Direct
In the USA (and most other western countries + Japan), for courtesy’s sake we love to put on our fake smile and show how much we enjoy interacting with the clerk selling us clothes or the man trying to set up our cell phone plan. Even when things go awry, we hold back on what we really want to say in fears of being rude or overbearing.
In China, it doesn’t matter.
Although it’s a bit caveman, it’s quite liberating to shout “hey waitress, could you bring me some water?” when I want water (instead of waiting to make eye contact with the waiter and prays s/he refills my glass); or to simply tell the waiter “hurry up!” instead of silently waiting another hour for the food while discussing the waiter’s dock in tip.
4. Furnished Homes
All rented homes in China include furnishings that the landlord is not only required to provide, but also repair if need be. If you get real lucky, your landlord will even upgrade your furniture on your behalf (because s/he feels like it’s their duty to give you a good place to live)–and for free. In my first Shanghai apartment, I told the landlord that I couldn’t use the electric stove and asked if he could come and teach me how to use it. Instead of teach me how to use the dingy little hot-plate, he went all out and installed a gas stove in my home. On top of that, all of my furniture was newly purchased from IKEA with a flat screen TV to boot (and I lived in a “lao fang zi” for 400 USD a month).
Sure beats renting a U-Haul and dragging your bed up 10 flights of stairs, eh?
Massages can run me 80 USD for an hour in the USA, and it’s not even that good.
Here? I’ve gotten a 2 hour massage for 15 USD once (foot and body, oil included). Of course, not all places are this dirt cheap but the standard is usually 15 USD for an hour. Foot massages go even cheaper.
And if you like it rough, then China gives it to you nice and hard. I prefer Chinese massages to almost everything else, mostly because they hit my pressure points and rub me so hard I’m usually screaming in agony. While it’s a bit masochistic, the whole process feels good in a way and the next day my body is good as new.
6. Public Parks
A public park in China is like no other. It’s like the Chinese wonderland you always dreamed about. Whether you’re visiting China for the first time or you’re a hardcore ex-pat, a waltz through the Chinese park will usually put a smile on your face.
There’s always some synchronized dancing going on, with old ladies blasting music ala dance dance revolution and rocking out. There’s old guys wearing berets, drinking baijiu (or huangjiu if you’re in Shanghai) while playing cards or mah-jiang. There’s weird exercise equipment for the elderly that people are jamming out to in public. At the entrance of the park, I always find an old calligrapher with a humongous brush practicing his art on the sidewalk with a bucket of water, writing poems from the past that soon fade away in a matter of minutes.
I cut through a park everyday on my walk to work. I always see people practicing taiji and it never fails to puts a smile on my face. The elderly are also quite friendly, so if you can speak Mandarin and you want some free Taiji lessons, they’re usually more than happy to teach you.
In America, if I were out late at night and walking down a dark alley alone, the likelihood of me being shot, raped, murdered or stabbed is actually quite high. Although Salt Lake (my hometown) is a fairly safe place in comparison to the rest of the USA, I still held the fear of potentially being shot when wandering the streets late at night.
China, on the other hand, is completely safe. I could walk down a dark alley at 3 AM filled with homeless people carrying razor sharp knives and still feel 100% safe. While you still have to watch your wallet and beware of pickpockets, there is no fear for your life here. And it’s a great feeling.
8. Mobile Plans
I remember setting up my mobile plan in Japan and it took me hours and was headache inducing. Paying for it was worse. Sometimes my phone bill skyrocketed to 100 USD a month!
China? Setting up a plan is so easy, I did it with little-to-no-Mandarin and got it all set up in an hour. I re-charge my phone with a 100 RMB card every month (16 USD), which includes a data plan, calls with my friends and texting. Booya.
9. Fruit Shops and Vegetable Market
I don’t even know how I lived without a fruit shop before, and how I can go on living without them. Cities in China are sprinkled with these little mom-and-pop fruit vendors that sell only the freshest fruit around. Fruit comes according to season, and it’s always exciting to see what new goodies will come in (dragonfruit in the summer, tangerines and strawberries in the winter, baby mangos in the summer..!!). The fruit selection here blows anything in the USA (or Japan, even) out of the water. Fresh longans, dragonfruit, persimmons… some fruit I don’t even know the English names, such as 琵琶 and 金橘. And nothing, I tell you, NOTHING tells you that summer has come more than the act of buying a watermelon from a dude in the street selling it off his pick-up truck. Did I mention all this fruit is insanely cheap? (Get a huge watermelon for 1 USD.)
The vegetable market is almost always the ultimate culture shock for foreigners. It’s stinky and full of flies, but it’s still the best place around to get fresh produce (trust me, the produce at the vegetable market is half the price and much more fresh than what you can buy at Tesco or Wal-Mart). From fresh fish and chicken (and when I say fresh, like, they kill it in front of your face) to ground intestines and roast duck, the vegetable market has it all. Choose your favorite vegetable stand, become acquainted with the boss (laoban), and I’m willing to bet you’ll be getting some service vegetables in no time (don’t forget to say, 送点儿葱吧！). Going to the market is a warm tradition from the past that, I hope, isn’t crushed by the ever-growing shadow of Carrefour and Wal-Mart.
10. There’s Always Something to See
China’s history literally spans tens of thousands of years, and thanks to that there’s an abundance of places to visit. If you live in Beijing, it’s easy to go to Tian’anmen square, the royal palace (故宫), the great wall, the gardens of past emperors (颐和园) and more—and that’s only Beijing. Whether you’re craving an epic journey into the deserts of Xinjiang, climbing the almighty Huangshan (yellow mountain) in Anhui province or merely taking a weekend getaway to the water village of Wuzhen near Shanghai, there’s ALWAYS somewhere beautiful, epic, and exquisite to escape to in China.
Since I’m keeping this entry positive, I’m not going to talk about the crowds, the crazy entrance fees or the lack of mannerisms from local tourists. Let’s pretend you’re rich, you look Chinese (so they won’t charge you double) and you never travel during China holidays—there, problem solved.
I also wanted to list other great conveniences of China that I just couldn’t leave out:
– Hire an ayi (maid) to clean your house once a week for only 12 USD/2 hours
– Order something online and have it arrive within hours–and for free
– Public transportation that includes the largest underground network in the world (Shanghai), in addition to buses that practically run to each corner of the city and come every ten minutes (and for cheap, bus is 20 cents and metro is 50 cents, average)
– Convenience stores open 24 hours where you not only can buy cheap beer and snacks, but can pay your bills and charge your mobile phone
– Banks and post office open on Saturday and Sunday! (sucks for them, great for me!)

With the transfer window coming to an end this week teams are desperate to offload players and the “Big Six” of the Premier League are looking to buy players that could change the course of their season. Here is one player I think each “Big Six” club should sign.
Arsenal – Bruno Guimarães
Arsenal has undoubtedly had an impressive first half of the season sitting 2 points off 4th with a game in hand at the mid-way stage. Arsenal has a promising GK in Aaron Ramsdale and a promising back 4 consisting of the likes of Ben White, Gabriel, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kieran Tierney. Arsenals attack could use a long-term solution at striker but since no one realistically available in January improves them we pivot to CM as the position of need. Arsenals midfield pivot has been touted as an area that could use some improvement. Granit Xhaka has been at Arsenal for a while and while having some qualities he also brings lapses of concentration and crucial mistakes in big games. Thomas Partey has failed to live up to the expectations after his €50m move from Atletico Madrid and Albert Sambi Lokonga is viewed as a rotational piece for now. With Thomas Partey and Mohamed Eleney now leaving for AFCON, January’s transfer window should be Arsenal’s time to improve the CM position. The perfect fit for Arsenal is Lyons Bruno Guimarães, he is linked with a €45m move to Arsenal and this fee shouldn’t be an issue considering the quality of player Arsenal would be getting. Bruno Guimarães has been brilliant for Lyon, he’s an all-round midfielder having the ability to make industrious tackles, he’s very good at putting pressure on the opposition with his athleticism so he would fit the man to man press deployed by Mikel Arteta, but Guimarães most impressive attribute is his on the ball ability. He’s a very good carrier of the ball which is important as it allows him to bypass presses and advance the ball up the pitch for his team, he can pick out an incisive pass to players in between the lines, can switch the play to flank to flank stretching out the oppositions compact shape, and when in advanced positions can pick out an assist or goal. This is what Arsenal lacks when Thomas Partey plays as he doesn’t have the quality on the ball against teams that sit in a compact shape against them. Bruno Guimarães will speed up their build-up and interplay against these teams giving Arsenal more high-quality chances per game. When we look at his Fbref report we can see the stats to back this up he ranks in the 90th percentile and higher for Passes Attempted, Proggesive Passes, Progressive Carries, Tackles, and the 89th percentile for pressures per 90.
Chelsea – Pervis Estupiñán
Chelsea started the year off hot with most of their season sitting 1st in the Premier League but due to COVID and Injuries have fallen off a bit. Chelsea currently sits 3rd 10 points behind Manchester City in 1st and could use some reinforcements in many areas of the pitch. Chelsea is very top-heavy and they’re not expected to bring in any forwards without unloading some of their own. Chelsea has been linked to some Center Midfielders like West Ham’s Declan Rice and Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni but neither of these players is realistically switching clubs in January, instead, Chelsea could wait until the summer to address this position. Chelsea’s center backs have been good throughout the season but with heavy links to Sevilla’s Jules Kounde this would be more likely to happen in the summer. Chelsea’s biggest loss through injury this season has been Ben Chilwell and Reece James with doubt both excelled in the wing-back positions of Thomas Tuchel’s 3-4-3 with aiding the width, chance creation of the attack, and chipping in with some goals and assists, with Reece James injury being a week to week situation Chelsea need to prioritize bringing in an LWB to finish off the season. Pervis Estupiñán isn’t a familiar name but could be a very good deal for Chelsea. With links to West Ham and Napoli in the past, there is the belief that Estupiñán is available. Estupiñán would be an attacking upgrade on Alonso as he provides the dribbling ability and pace and power that Alonso lacks. A problem with Alonso is when the ball is worked out to him he fails to inject the attack with any pace or penetration as he is very slow and does most of his damage from dead-ball situations. With Estupiñán at LWB, the Ecuadorian would advance Chelsea’s attack into the final third with his powerful dribbling and athleticism having the ability to beat his man. Estupiñán has the chance creation ability while in the box can pick out a key pass or cross to a forward. Estupiñán is also a front-foot defender who can come out make tackles and interceptions to help his team gain possession quickly. We can see Estupiñán’s qualities as he ranks in the 83rd and 87th percentile for passes into the penalty area and crosses into the penalty area while he ranks in the 97th and 91st percentile for Interceptions and Tkl + Int.
Liverpool – Julain Alvarez
Liverpool has had an improvement on their 20/21 campaign in which they just finished 3rd in the final weeks of the season. Liverpool sits 2nd in 8 points off Manchester City who sit in 1st. While Liverpool is on track to have a better season than a year ago you can say this was expected as they are much more injury fortunate than last year. Liverpool has to finish off strong and a signing in January to replenish the squad is a no-brainer here. Liverpool seem set at the defense with options at FB and CBs, CM is a position that could use an upgrade but they have players that can come in and keep the quality like Naby Keita and Oxlade Chamberlain with a move for a CM in the summer more likely. However, forward is a position Liverpool should take advantage of in the market. They don’t necessarily need a starter here but with options like Minimano and Orgiri in the forward line, the quality of depth is something they should improve. River Plate’s Julian Alvarez is the best talent in South America and has been linked to pretty much every elite club in Europe. He is reportedly has a £17m release clause that any club wanting to sign him has to pay and this fits Liverpool’s transfer policy of not spending huge fees on players. Julian Alvarez in South America has lit up South America this season scoring 20 goals and registering 12 assists in the Argentine Primera Divison. He’s a complete forward who can receive the ball at his feet and drive at the opposition while also being very good at getting in goal-scoring positions. So Alvarez won’t be a day 1 starter for Liverpool but they can work him into the lineup rotate him in and out the first 11 and by the 2022 season could have a top striker on their hands.
Manchester City – Owen Wijndal
Manchester City has been excellent and looks like a lock to repeat the Premier League. Having a 8 point gap at the top it’s hard to find any positions of need for such a complete team. One obvious area is the fact they don’t have a recognized center forward however it doesn’t seem like they need one as they score plenty of goals and with Erling Haaland being available this summer it wouldn’t make sense to bring in a striker right now. The left-back position has always been a question mark for Manchester City with the likes of Fabian Delph starting there in their first title-winning team under Guardiola and now Cancelo can play there at a very high level but he’s naturally a right-back. Owen Wijndal at PSV is one of the most promising young left-backs in world football in one of the most progressive teams in the Eredivisie. Wijndal is a very good passer from deep areas being able to move the ball effectively in between the lines. He also is very good at pushing up the pitch getting into the final third to support the winger he does this by providing overlaps and underlaps to make himself available for a pass or open up space for a teammate. Wijndal is a very good one-on-one defender he angles the opposing winger where he wants him to go before putting in a tackle to win the ball back.
Manchester United – Maxence Caqueret
Manchester United has been one of if not the most disappointing team this season. After bringing in Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Cristiano Ronaldo they sit in 4th and 19 points off 1st. Manchester United has a lot of needs but the biggest one is CM. With the likes of McTominay and Fred being first-team regulars Manchester United desperately needs an upgrade as they are not the quality United should have at CM. The likes of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes are much better when they are given free roles and able to influence play near the goal so, for this reason, Manchester United needs to be targeting a player who can progress from the first phase while being secure defensively. Maxence Caqueret is perfect for this role. He’s very much a player similar to Marco Verratti, on the ball Caqueret is one of the most aesthetically pleasing players in Europe. When he gets the ball building up from the back he’s able to shift his body and maneuver away from pressure which is vital because when Pogba doesn’t play Manchester United doesn’t have anyone that can help them play out of the press. Caqueret is also very good at passing being able to pull off a 1-2 in tight areas, work the ball out to the flanks, and play through balls into the forwards this would be huge for Manchester United as one of McTominay and Fred’s biggest criticisms are they can’t break lines passing. Caqueret isn’t just a deep playing playmaker he’s also amazing defensively he reads the game well being able to see when a pass is about to be played so he can intercept the pass and regain possession for his team. In the press, he’s fantastic at moving out the midfield line applying pressure, and winning the ball back high up the pitch to set up a transition for his team. We can see Caquerets qualities as he ranks in the 93rd percentile for tackles, 94th percentile for tackles won, 96th percentile for pressures, and 94th percentile for successful pressures.
Tottenham Hotspur – Adama Traoré
Tottenham Hotspur currently sits in 5th place on 36 points. They’re 2 points off 4th with 2 games in hand so with 4th on the line Tottenham should look to improve the quality of their squad. Realistically Tottenham needs a makeover of the squad as the new manager Antonio Conte has a specific style of play and a profile of players he likes. However, in January’s they’ll make 1-2 signings. With that being said who should they target? Tottenham could use an upgrade at LCB but since Conte’s arrival, he’s kept them more stout so I think they can wait until the summer for the perfect man. CM is another position of need but I don’t think there is anyone available of the qualities that could improve them more than the player they’ve been linked to the most, Adama Traore. Adama Traore is one of the most unique players in the Premier League he has arguably the best dribbling ability in the league using his pace, power, and close ball control to glide past players with the ball at his feet. This could be so valuable for a team instead of having to put 7-8 passes together to break down a low block Traore can dribble past 2 players and get you in the final third. Adama has the pace and lower body strength to play in transition fitting the Antonio Conte counter-attacking play. A lot has been made of Adama Traore’s final product as he can be erratic in front of goal missing a lot of “easy chances” but in Conte’s 3-5-3/3-4-3 Adama could play as the RWB so his main job would be to progress the ball forward very much as Achraf Hakimi did for Conte at Inter Milan. When we look at Adama Traore’s statistics he’s ranked in the 98th and 99th percentile for dribbles completed, dribbles attempted, and successful dribble percentage. He also ranks in the 97th and 93rd percentile for progressive carrying distance and total carrying distance.

Tens of thousands of mourners, some breaking through police barriers, flocked to South Africa's central government buildings on Friday to say a personal goodbye to anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela on the final day of his lying in state.
Such was the crush of people wanting to see Mandela's body in the Union Buildings in the capital Pretoria, that the government had asked others to stay away from the park-and-ride facilities set up to take mourners to the area.
"We cannot guarantee that every person who is presently in the queues at the various centres will be given access to the Union Buildings," the government said in a statement.
At least 50,000 people were waiting at park-and-ride points by 0530 GMT.
There were moments of tension as police tried to turn mourners away. At the Pretoria Showgrounds, one of the park-and-ride gathering points, the crowd broke through the metal entrance gate when officers tried to stop people coming through. Some fell to the ground and hundreds streamed past before order was restored.
On another access road, police had to force back people trying to break through crowd barriers.
"I am really angry, we tried for two days now to see Mr Mandela and thank him for changing this country and bringing us together. Now we have to go home with heavy hearts," said Ilse Steyn of Pretoria.
Winding queues snaked for kilometres (miles) from the government site perched on a hill overlooking the city, well into the heart of the capital.
The body of South Africa's first black president was lying in state for a third and final day before being flown on Saturday to the Eastern Cape for a funeral on Sunday at his ancestral home in Qunu, 700 km (450 miles) south of Johannesburg. Mandela died last week aged 95.
"I don't mind waiting, today is the last day and I must say thank you. I am who I am and where I am because of this man," said Johannesburg resident Elsie Nkuna, who said she had taken two days off work to see Mandela.
Filing past the coffin, some pausing to bow, mourners viewed the body laid out in a green and gold batik shirt, a style that he wore and had made famous. His face was visible.
On Friday, his grandchild Mandla sat beside the coffin, acknowledging mourners with smiles.
In the heat of the South African summer, army chaplains and medics handed out bottles of water and sachets of tissues.
The huge turnout surpassed the two previous days by far.
About 21,000 people paid their last respects on Wednesday and 39,000 on Thursday, Presidency Minister Collins Chabane told broadcaster SAfm.
"It is clear to us that we are likely to get more and more people who would like to get the opportunity to see the (former) President before he is transferred to the Eastern Cape," Chabane said.
Some people had been queuing since Thursday.
"We were hungry and thirsty and did not have money for food. The thought that I must be here to pay respect kept me going," said Leena Mazubiko, who had travelled from eastern Mpumalanga province.
The week of mourning since Mandela's death on Dec. 5 has seen an unrivalled outpouring of emotion for the statesman and Nobel peace laureate, who was honoured by a host of world leaders at a memorial service in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
But the homage to a man who was a global symbol of reconciliation has not been without controversy.
South African President Jacob Zuma, who is leading the national mourning ceremonies, was booed by a hostile crowd at Tuesday's memorial, a worrying sign for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) six months before elections.
There has also been a storm of outrage and questions over a sign-language interpreter accused of miming nonsense at the same memorial. The signer has defended himself, saying he suffered a schizophrenic episode.
Compared to Tuesday's mass memorial, Sunday's state funeral at Qunu will be a smaller affair focusing on the family, but dignitaries, including Britain's Prince Charles and a small group of African and Caribbean leaders, will also attend.
Iranian Vice President Mohammad Shariatmadari will also be at Qunu, but former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who had been expected at the funeral, will not attend, a South African foreign ministry spokesman said.
From the United States, civil rights activist Reverend Jessie Jackson was on the list to attend the funeral.
The Qunu event will combine military pomp with traditional burial rituals of Mandela's Xhosa clan.

Well, it is only SLIGHTLY OT.
First of all, an old story. When a person studies to be a private pilot, they carefully study the weather and take great caution when flying in anything but CAVU. By the time they get their commercial ticket, just a few minutes studying the prog charts and such and they feel comfortable in either going or staying. By the time they land a job as an airline pilot, they can just take one good look at a flight attendant and tell whether.
My 15 year old home/shop weather station has crapped out and they want the Lord's own fortune to troubleshoot it. What I'd like to find is some company that sells the outside sensors (wind, temperature, rainfall, baro, and the like) and wirelessly transmits it to a box behind my computer that plugs into the USB port and lets me use an app on the PC when I want to see what the weather is.
Yeah, I know, only a few hundred hours to homebrew such a device and another few dozen to write the software. I've got projects piled on projects, so I'd prefer to design it with a silver pencil ... i.e. I'd prefer to buy rather than scratchbuild.
Anybody got a lead for me?

Stylish and comfortable, these sandals are a must have. The Wanda Panda Bilma 2 is a casual women's leather wedge heel sandal with two adjustable hook and loop straps.
These Wanda Panda Bilma 2 Cuero Tan/Mustard Leather Women's Sandals have the following features:
- Premium Leather uppers and lining
- Eye-catching and comfortable
- Cork footbed that conforms to your foot creating a custom fit over time
- Hook and Loop Velcro strap

This is a cute sandal, unfortunately they just didn't fit my foot correctly. Too short and a size larger too big. Also, the color was a little too bright for my taste.

Portland Police Bureau- 03/26/12
On Sunday March 25, 2012, at 9:01 p.m., North Precinct officers responded to the report of shots fired at an apartment complex located at 5109 Northeast Killingsworth Street. As officers were enroute, additional information was broadcast that a white Chevy Suburban was described leaving eastbound on Kilingsworth Street.
Officers arrived and located the Suburban near Northeast Cully Boulevard and Killingsworth Street and observed evidence that the vehicle had been struck by gunfire.
Officers determined that occupants of the Suburban and occupants of an apartment were from rival gang factions and that prior to the shooting, the Suburban pulled into the apartment complex parking lot. 21-year-old Juan Carlos Espinoza-Soreque got out of the Suburban and slashed the tires of a car associated with the apartment.
20-year-old Jose Torres-Jimenez emerged from the apartment and fired multiple gunshots at the Suburban as it fled the parking lot.
Gang Enforcement Team detectives responded to conduct an investigation.
Torres-Jimenez was arrested and charged with four counts of Attempted Murder and one count of Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
Espinoza-Soreque was arrested and charged with one count of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree.
Both were booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
This is the 30th gang-related shooting of 2012.

Currently in Seattle where it's FREEEEEEZING, sipping hot tea and looking back at photos of sunny California. I had so much fun in December showing Elijah all the places I knew and loved. I have some memories from America when I was younger but I think the ones of Southern California really concreted themselves from my childhood since it's the place I always went back and visited during all those years in Europe.
By far my favorite day on this trip was the day we visited Laguna Beach (besides the dog beach in Huntington which was such fun). My mom and I did a BUNCH of shopping in the morning, grabbed some coffee and then picked up the guys and headed to Laguna. We were there for hours walking around and taking photos. It was the warmest day on our trip which for me heat equates to being the best day... also taking lots of photos... also the ocean.... so basically anywhere where it's warm, there's water nearby and I can take a lot of photos and I'm seriously the most content person. Throw in a few adorably fuzzy dogs that I get to pet along the way and I am set!
These photos bring back all the warm feelings (literally... it was so warm and I just want to go back to sun shining and lots and lots of heat... she types as she wears her snow pants inside...
Can't wait for it to be summer in Seattle. *sigh*
