Olympus VG-170 Review
|Full model name:||Olympus VG-170|
|Sensor size:||1/2.3 inch
(6.2mm x 4.6mm)
|Extended ISO:||80 - 1600|
|Shutter:||1/2000 - 4 sec|
4.1 x 2.5 x 0.9 in.
(104 x 63 x 22 mm)
|Full specs:||Olympus VG-170 specifications|
Olympus VG-170 Overview
The Olympus VG-170 features the combination of a 1/2.3"-type, 14 effective megapixel RGB CCD image sensor and an Olympus-branded 5x optical zoom lens, which offers a 35mm-equivalent range from a useful 26mm wide-angle to a moderate 130mm telephoto. Sadly, the Olympus VG-170 lacks true mechanical image stabilization, instead opting only for what Olympus calls "Digital Image Stabilization", which increases the ISO sensitivity (and along with it, both the shutter speed and image noise levels) to try and freeze motion. ISO sensitivity ranges from a low of ISO 80 to a maximum of ISO 1,600 equivalent. A 3.0-inch LCD display with 460,000 dot resolution offers the Olympus VG-170's only option for framing and reviewing images, as there's no optical viewfinder on this model.
Maximum image dimensions in the VG-170's native 4:3 aspect ratio are 4,288 x 3,216 pixels, and the camera also includes a 16:9 aspect ratio mode, albeit limited to Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) pixel resolution. The Olympus VG-170 employs a contrast-detection autofocus system operating off data streaming from the camera's image sensor, and the VG-170 also includes face detection capability, linked to both the autoexposure and autofocus systems, ensuring that your subjects' faces are taken into account when determining both these variables. AF tracking technology continually adjusts focus and exposure to keep fast-moving subjects in focus.
As well as still image shooting, the Olympus VG-170 offers 720p Motion JPEG high definition movie capture, although there's no high-definition video output on this model, so you'll have to transfer cards or use the USB connection to offload your data, if you want to see the result on a high-def display. A rechargeable LI-50B Lithium Ion battery with charger is included with the VG-170, although no information on battery life was available at press time. Images are stored in a rather limited 34.9MB of available internal memory, as well as on Secure Digital memory cards, including the higher-capacity SDHC types and SDXC types. Images and videos can be transferred to a PC over a USB 2.0 High-Speed connection, and there's also a standard-definition video output.
The VG-170 includes a variety of what the company terms Magic Filters, which are similar to the in-camera Art Filters first introduced in Olympus digital SLRs in 2009. These include two additions for 2012 -- Reflection and Water Color -- in addition to the existing Pop Art, Pin Hole, Fish-Eye, Soft Focus, Drawing, Sparkle, and Punk seen in earlier models. A generous 15 scene modes are offered in the Olympus VG-170, plus a Program Auto mode, allowing users some degree of control over their images without needing to understand the subtleties of shutter speeds and apertures. Scene modes include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Night Scene with portrait, Sports, Indoor, Candle, Self-portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Documents, Beach and Snow, Pet, and 3D. There's also an Intelligent Auto mode which can automatically select from a subset of available scene modes.
The Olympus VG-170 is not currently scheduled for sale in the US market. In Europe, it should ship from mid-February 2012, with pricing of about €100. Available body colors include black, white, or red.

Return Date Set for ‘GH’s’ Lulu!
“General Hospital’s” Luke and Laura Spencer (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis) won’t have to fret about their missing daughter for long: Lulu disappeared and has been off the canvas since Julie Marie Berman last aired on March 22, but now, her new portrayer, Emme Rylan, has announced when her nuLulu will be hitting the screen!
“My first airdate for GH is April 11,” the actress tweeted, meaning there’s only one week to go before fans can see her ABC debut. But will she be in Port Charles for her first appearance? Guess you’ll have to tune in and find out!

- Raman Sharma, Senior Product Marketing Manager
Evolution of Application Platforms
We used to build applications on-premises. Find h/w, find someone to set it up, and then the bits, networking, etc. Counter to productivity.
IaaS meant that a VM could be provisioned faster, but still left with some delays, and still required on-going management. The current wave of SaaS is probably mostly built on IaaS.
Along came PaaS. VMs were abstracted, hiding the on-going management of the VM and guest OS. But we still have the same per-VM paradigm.
Serverless ideally reduces infrastructure to zero. There is really a server, but it’s not yours and there’s no hint of it. The app still has to run on something, but you never acknowledge its existence.
Traits of Serverless
- Abstraction of servers
- Event-driven start-up triggers/instant scale out or in.
- Micro-billing instead of per-hour/month billing.
- Manage apps, not servers. Look after the thing you care about: the app and the code.
- Reduced DevOps: there are no servers to fix/patch. You don’t have to scale out traditional PaaS.
- Faster time to market
Your business can sell a service, consume data, seize an opportunity quicker than ever with serverless.
Serverless Application Platform Components
- Functions: Execute your code based on events you specify.
- Logic Apps: Design workflows and orchestrate processes. It’s the original serverless feature in Azure. Logic Apps tie together different things inside and outside of Azure in workflows made up of different steps.
- Event Grid: A relatively new service in Public Preview. Manages all events that can trigger code or logic. A single interface for all such events. Manage where those events come from, and decide what you will do with those events (start Functions, Logic Apps, etc)
- Database: store the data
- Storage: store data in blob/queue/NoSQL
- Security services
- IoT for massive numbers of devices inputing data
- Analytics to process data realtime
- Intelligence to use AI models to understand/action on data
Demo: Event Grid & Logic Apps (Chris)
He adds an action between the two existing actions in the logic app designer. This will trigger the Function. The Function is passed the body of the JSON. The Function will return a response, and that is used as an input to the Teams action. That input is given a condition. If verbosity = ignore then the Teams action can be bypassed.
Scenarios for Serverless
Short: Anything that is based on events.
- Real-time stream processing, e.g. IoT. You have no idea when data is coming in, and how much will come in.
- Time-based processing. E.g. collect logs and process them once per week. Why dedicate VMs/PaaS for that? Pay for the few seconds of compute that is required for the task.
- Back-ends for mobile/IoT/web. E.g. someone uploads an image to a site, a function stores the image in a storage account, and another function processes the image (thumbnails, metadata, etc) and stores that data somewhere.
- Real-time bot messaging. Use Logic Apps to workflow the processing of a question from a bot in Cortana Analytics and then send the result back to the bot.
The list of services will grow – it’s only been in preview for a month and a half at this point.
It delivers at massive scale:
- Sub-second end-to-end latency in 99th percentile
- 10,000,000 events per second per region.
- 24-hour retry with exponential back off for events not delivered
- A visual design experience without writing any code, no matter how complex it is.
- Multiple connectors to Azure, third-party, or your own services/functions.
- Uses a declarative definition format to work with CI/CD.
There are over 170 (and growing) connectors to orchestrate, e.g. Slack, SalesForce, Twitter, Box, Facebook, GitHub, DropBox, Pintrest, WordPress, etc.
An evolution of WebJobs from PaaS.
- Develop locally using best of class developer tools
- Boost productivity through triggers and bindings.
- Choose from a variety of programming languages
- Integrate with existing DevOps processes.
Lots of triggers: schedule, HTTP (REST or webhook), Blob storage, events, queues, queues and topics, storage tables, SQL tables, NoSQL DB, Push Notifications, Wwilio SMS Text … and one I missed.
What’s New in Functions
- You can develop locally on Linux, MacOS, and Linux
- Monitor serverless applications using Application Insights (now GA)
- Trigger a function on changes in Cosmos DB
- Securely provide access to information in Microsoft Graph through a function.
- Trigger a function from a real-time analytics pipeline in Stream Analytics
Four volunteers go on stage. There are two IoT buttons. When they are pressed, they’ll send a message to Azure IoT, and will trigger Functions. Fastest to answer questions get most points, last gets least points. And then questions on Serverless tech come up. The scores are processed by Serverless compute using Functions. In this case, the functions were actually running on a local host (WS2016).
- Fujifilm: Online service handling 1 TB data per day. Monolithic design where code change was hard. Cosmos DB and Functions reduced latency by 95%. Development time reduced by 75%. Higher reliability. Ability to add new features and release faster and more frequently.
- Quest: Uses serverless for a SaaS application. Able to manage millions of objects. Cut time-to-market by 2/3. No costly on-premises h/w.
- Plexure: Service to help retailers understand “signals” from their stores to optimize sales. Built serverless with functions, even hubs, IoT, machine learning and Cosmos DB. Reduced efforts and scales on demand. Used to build infrastructure for each retailer. Now they just publish APIs.

About the Cryptor Trust Group
Cryptor Trust is the first and still one of the few investment groups in the world to introduce a formal capital structure based on Bitcoin, holding Bitcoin and blockchain related investments as its main assets as well as expanding into distributed, blockchain based finance.
Influences of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology in a Disintegrating Debt-Laden Fiat Currency System
GCV: What are the elements and/or characteristics that will define the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
GS: Billions of new people connected by mobile supercomputers, with a storage capacity and access to knowledge not seen earlier in human history, will be multiplied by emerging technology in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing.
GCV: Klaus Schwab, the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, stated in his article The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have effects on customer expectations, product enhancement, collaborative innovation, and organizational forms as a result of new business models. How will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, once they are more widely accepted by the banks worldwide, affect the outcome of these four effects on society and business?
GS: They will facilitate the effects by providing lower cost, speed, trust, and reliability. However, this is not related to the banks as such, as they more or less will disappear in their current form and shape. The reason is that it is impossible for most banks to adapt due to their existing cost structure, the number of employees, regulations, and interference from the authorities. Notice that this is not only a matter of using new technology as those expensive bank buildings, all those expensive employees, and their old computer systems are not needed anymore to facilitate banking and finance in the post cryptocurrency blockchain world. Over the next few decades, you will see banks shrink dramatically and I predict that in the western world most of them will go under.
GCV: In your opinion, what ignited the Fourth Industrial Revolution and when did you decide to be a pioneer by offering guidance to people who want to invest in blockchain related assets using Bitcoin?
GS: The Internet was the basic platform that made the Fourth Industrial Revolution possible. You could say that digitalization, cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain were layers built upon the Internet. When we discovered Bitcoin, we understood this was a new beginning that opened endless opportunities in banking, finance, and commerce on a global scale.
GCV: Will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies empower people and if so, how will it encourage growth on a large scale?
GS: They become their own bank and have full control of their own money which is very powerful.
The main global effect on growth will be more liquidity, diversity, and a substantial increase in the number of various participants in all sectors of the economy.
Here are a few examples:
In manufacturing, the trend will be towards local production. In the future, you will print out your new mobile on a 3-dimensional printer and download the software. You will, of course, be able to choose or create the design of the mobile phone yourself.
In the stock market, there will more investors, listed companies, advisors, analysts, etc. It will also create new stock markets, especially in the 3rd world. Businesses in the 3rd world will have easier access to capital. The barriers for new companies to be listed and investors to invest will come down.
GCV: How will the Fourth Industrial Revolution shift the world inequalities to more equitable empowering options for the masses?
GS: In short, low cost super mobile smartphones, free Internet, digitalization, open source technology, cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain, all contribute to a worldwide leveled playing field. In the capitalist world, the cost of service and production is falling towards zero. As the world goes digital, a whole ecosystem becomes available over the Internet to everybody worldwide at almost zero cost.
GCV: It is predicted that the sharing economy will shift the power from institutions to individuals and communities. How will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies assist in the economic transformation using this type of collaboration?
GS: Together with a distributed commerce peer-to-peer network makes it all possible by facilitating the shift
GCV: How will the redistribution and decentralization of power and new technologies affect the way we do business? What kind of role will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have in this paradigm shift?
GS: The unbanked now get an opportunity to have a bank account in the form of a digital wallet, doing affordable cryptocurrency transfers for purchases, savings, and investment. Until now the traditional banking system has been too expensive and bureaucratic for them. The fences/barriers are coming down and a door is open for them to enter. This means the 3rd world will fully enter the digitizing global economy. The digitized global commerce will be open for everyone.
GCV: What kind of effects will the Fourth Industrial Revolution have on the working poor, poverty stricken, numerous people without bank accounts, and the quality of life in general for the global population?
GS: Digitalization of the economy makes the entry point to join the global economy close to zero and the cost of acquiring goods and services more or less free.
GCV: Will supply and demand requests change as cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies become the norm?
GS: Because of better availability of digitized service and goods, as well as the cost of service and goods falling towards zero, the demand will increase enormously especially from the unbanked of the 3rd world. Most of these people have limited access at present.
GCV: If cash is removed from society like most of it was in India, will it pose problems for the masses who are illiterate and do not use technology? Will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies bridge the gap and if so, how?
GS: The government restrictions will create problems for many people including possible ruin for those trying to save themselves without access to technology. The government of India is fully aware of the consequences, but still implemented the restrictions on the Rupee. I expect much more restrictions and regulations will occur when it comes to fiat currencies around the world as the global debt bubble implodes.
Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain are the escape route out of this regulation nightmare. It will be very difficult to enforce capital control restrictions on cryptocurrencies.
The Bitcoin/blockchain network is an encrypted, distributed, peer-to-peer outside the control of the government. It is not controlled by anyone. Cryptocurrency/blockchain networks live on the global computer network and are not possible to shut down meaning the blockchain network is not hosted in a single place where you can shut it down.
GCV: What do you perceive is the cause that ignited the shift from a debt-based system established by the fiat currency to an equity-based system created by cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and blockchain technologies?
GS: Technology made it possible and the abuse of the old debt system is the catalyst towards cryptocurrencies.
GCV: How will a decentralized currency affect the definition and operation of nations?
GS: Bitcoin is backed by no government, rather, it’s distributed across the entire network of users where its roots are in complex digital mathematics. This makes the currency immune to manipulation by politicians.
Because Bitcoin is untouchable by the nation-state, politicians will in the future struggle to extract tax revenues and penalties from their citizens in order to pay for the state’s ever bloating expenses and programs. Less revenue will, of course, undermine the nation state over the long term.
However, there are other forces than the currency that influence the future of the nation-state. Declining societies are fear driven and will tend to be more nationalistic as a way of finding ‘safety’. I would expect the declining western societies to become more nationalistic, and in practice, this would include exiting the European Union and possibly the break-up of European countries like Spain, the UK, France and Italy.
There are dangers for nations that put restrictions on the Internet in order to stop cryptocurrencies. Since Bitcoin is the money of the Internet, they could become isolated from the rest of the Internet economy or lagging in development. I would call these countries the ‘next’ 3rd world.
GCV: How will access to funds with purchasing power for new consumers affect the global economy?
GS: It opens the door for those without bank accounts to participate in the global economy making the world economy to scale much bigger. However, since much of that growth will come from the informal workers and businesses in the 3rd world it will not all be officially registered in the formal economy. OECD estimates that the world’s largest economy in 2020 will be the global ‘informal’ economy where ⅔ of the world’s workers actually work. This part of the economy will be booming and a substantial part of the wealth creation will happen there.
GCV: In other words, there will still be a shadow economy even with Bitcoin and blockchain?
GS: Yes, and the reason is how you define shadow and formal economies. Politicians will more often than not define economies outside their control and will as illegal. Think about it, politicians define two-thirds of the world’s workers as ‘criminals’.
I say really? The government controlled economy formal economy includes the world’s largest arms dealers like the U.S, Russia, China and France just to mention a few. On the top of it, the big arms dealers are very active running proxy wars around the world.
Politicians are also responsible for creating economic systems that close the 3rd world out of the formal economy and thus contributing to poverty.
GCV: What are the top pros and cons of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in a Fourth Industrial Revolution?
- You become your own bank, with no restrictions and parenting
- The government cannot take your money through confiscation, devaluation, and regulation, etc.
- Save money and time as cost goes towards zero for service and products and they become available digitally over the Internet
- Protection from payment fraud and identity theft
- Direct settlement (no intermediates) and direct access to markets
- You depend on technology that works. Wars, natural catastrophes, terrorism, etc. will continue and computer systems could be down for short or long periods of time.
- You need basic skills about technology as well as access to the Internet and devices.
- Cryptocurrencies still have a way go before they can replace credit cards and traditional currencies as a tool for the global economy. The timeline for widespread use will likely be over the coming decade.
- Lack of awareness and understanding as many people do not know how cryptocurrencies work and/or are not used to using cryptocurrencies.
GCV: What will be the future of work and wealth in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and how will cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies facilitate the process making it easier to attain both?
GS: This will lead to more independent workers and entrepreneurs as the doorkeepers like banks and other institutions are bypassed with favor given to peer-to-peer markets based on digital currencies and a digital economy.
As “crowd-based capitalism” or the “sharing economy” expands, we’re taking economic activity out of institutions. In the established old model, most economic activities were controlled by large companies and institutions.
Now we have a digitally controlled model, a platform that sits between people directly. New technologies based on the blockchain and distributed network make people trust each other enough for these interactions. The sharing economy is all about people and trust. People are once again being drawn closer together on a global scale. This is the melding between commerce and community. You could say it is a democratization of opportunities.
Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain make it all possible. The blockchain is a shared, trusted ledger that everyone can inspect, but which no single user controls. Bitcoin’s blockchain ledger prevents double spending and keeps track of transactions. It is what makes possible a currency without a central bank. The trust and value are built into the system.

Many of you know the sinking feeling you get when you find a lump underneath your dog’s fur. Any kind of cyst-like bump can cause panic, but it helps to know that most are benign (non-cancerous) and are known as lipomas, or fatty tumors in dogs.
Obviously, prevention is the best way to deal with fatty tumors in dogs but they can be elusive, appearing almost overnight.
What Are Lipomas?
Lipomas are a collection of fat cells found just beneath the skin. They have certain characteristics:
- They range in size from small to large, sometimes growing bigger than a tennis ball.
- Most are found on the chest, flanks, legs and neck.
- They’re soft and somewhat moveable.
This movability is the key difference between a benign fatty tumor and what is known as a lipsarcoma, a malignant (cancerous) tumor that grows in fatty tissues. These types of tumors don’t move under the skin and fortunately, they’re rare.
Lipomas aren’t painful unless they grow in a nerve rich area. Referred to as infiltrative, they really like the endocrine system, muscle tissue and fascia. In some cases, invasive lipomas impair movement and cause pain which can warrant surgery.
Weekly grooming can go a long way in early detection. Numerous holistic methods help soften and dissolve lipomas, stimulating the body to slowly absorb and process the contents of the lump thus shrinking and removing them.
Yes, you read that correctly, lipomas can be healed holistically especially when detected early.
Before we go into how to shrink lipomas, first let’s take a look at some of the reasons your dog gets them in the first place.
What Causes Fatty Tumors In Dogs?
Allopathic medicine is baffled by the cause of fatty tumors in dogs, usually attributing them to random chance, age and genetics. While age and genetics can contribute to the formation of lipomas, there’s something else that needs attention …
The build-up of toxins is often overlooked by mainstream veterinary medicine. From a holistic perspective, when lipomas form it’s a sign that the body is congested and energy isn’t flowing like it should. Toxins and fat get trapped and walled off by the body’s immune system as it pushes contaminants to the outside in an effort to protect and sustain internal organ function.
Your dog’s lymphatic system consists of a network of lymph ducts, nodes and vessels that transport lymphatic fluids to the bloodstream. A major player in the body’s immune function, the lymph system delivers nutrients to its cells while removing wastes.
When your dog’s elimination systems become congested and slow down, this stagnation can lead to blocked circulation causing lipomas and other chronic diseases. This build-up of wastes is sometimes referred to as a dog’s “toxic load.”
So where do these toxins come from? Your dog’s every day environment. Toxins can include:
- Environmental contaminants like glyphosphates, pesticides and herbicides
- Water contaminates like chlorine and fluoride
- Heavy metals
- Flea and tick medications
- Grooming products like chemically laden shampoos
Another contributing factor to toxic load is diet. Everything you feed your dog either contributes to disease or fights it. The cleaner his diet, the less your dog’s body needs to process it.
When your dog eats, his organs (liver, gallbladder and pancreas) decide how to react. This means they either release the enzymes needed to break down and assimilate nutrients or assume the body is under attack and issue an immune response. This leads to inflammation and slow digestive motility resulting in food staying in the digestive tract too long.
When foods aren’t properly broken down, it can result in the formation of toxins which can lead to a vicious cycle of stagnation and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Too Much Fat?
One of the problems about fatty tumors in dogs is the belief that too much fat equals fatty tumor formation. This isn’t true if the body is breaking down the fats.
It’s actually the type of fat that’s the problem, like the rancid and oxidized oils found in kibble. Some examples are rendered animal fat, vegetable oil and GMO soy and canola oils. Sadly, canola oils can be found even in higher end and “all natural” treats.
Your dog’s body sees these undigested oils as immune attackers and the body goes into defense mode, protecting itself by depositing and walling off fat mixed with toxins in the form of a lipoma.
If you suspect your dog isn’t breaking down his food properly, make sure he’s getting clean filtered water, pre and probiotics and digestive enzymes daily. If you’re a kibble feeder, consider moving your dog to a fresh food diet.
When traditional raw isn’t in your realm of possibility, options like commercial raw food, dehydrated and freeze-dried dog foods are available. You can also home cook for your dogs to add variety, especially if you have senior dogs.
There are also some natural foods that you can add to your dog’s food to help prevent lipomas. Here are some of my favorites:
- Add a basic regimen of burdock, milk thistle and dandelion can help support liver function, circulation and elimination. Pulse these herbs giving them for six days on, one day off for six weeks, then take one week off for six months. Take one month off and start again.
- Phytoplankton is an excellent source of a wide range of bioavailable vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
- Antioxidants like vitamin C and amino acids can help the body work more efficiently and support elimination and cell health.
- Organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) can be a powerful ally in the prevention and treatment of lipomas. ACV assists in liver detoxification as it stimulates circulation and energy flow. ACV works with the body’s lymphatic system by cleaning out the lymph nodes and supporting the body’s elimination channels. Give 1 tsp daily for dogs 15 pounds and under, 2 tsp for dogs between 15 and 30 pounds, 1 tbsp for dogs up to 80 pounds and 2 tbsp for giant breeds.
Movement Is A Must
Circulation is the key to the continuous elimination of toxins from the body. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the circulatory system, (the heart) it needs movement to efficiently work. Chiropractic care, acupuncture and acupressure help support energy flow but don’t forget about walking! The average American dog gets less than 15 minutes of exercises per day. That also means 15 minutes or less of breathing fresh air.
For any dog with lipomas or prone to forming fatty tumors, walking and fresh air are a must.
One of the best things you can do for yourself and your dog to stay healthy is walking outside. The simple movement helps circulate energy throughout the body and keep the lymphatic system moving as well as stimulate motility in the digestive system.
6 Herbs To Help Shrink Fatty Tumors In Dogs
Along with exercise, herbal remedies can help the body expel toxins, support the liver, kidney, and digestive systems and shrink and eliminate fatty tumors.
1. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). These bitter herbs can help break down fats in the body by stimulating the digestive system. Dandelion and chamomile help clear heat (inflammation) from the body and decrease stagnation of fluids and energy. Dandelion increases circulation by thinning fluids and supports the linings of the gut by decreasing permeability. It stimulates the release of bile by the gallbladder to help digest fats. Dandelion is a potent lipoma fighter due to its ability to facilitate the removal of toxins through the kidneys and liver.
- You can add dandelions to your dog’s diet or use a tincture of dandelion giving 1/2 drop of tincture for every pound of weight twice daily. Chamomile makes an effective infusion (a tea steeped 20-30 minutes) added to your dog’s food. Add 1 Tablespoon for every 30 pounds of body weight.
2. Burdock root (Arctium lappa) supports the lymphatic system, the liver and the kidneys. Burdock root combined with milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an excellent way to help the body rid itself of pharmaceuticals and move heat through the liver. Like dandelion, burdock root helps the gall bladder release bile to support the digestion of fats. Burdock root is cooling to any inflammatory condition of the liver and digestive system.
- Give as a tincture, 5 drops for every 30 pounds twice a day.
3. Chickweed (Stellaria media) moves fluids through the body and brings down inflammations throughout the entire system. It clears toxins out of the tissues with the help of the kidneys and liver. Used internally and externally, Chickweed helps dissolve lipomas and break up clumped fatty tissue. Diuretic in nature, it helps export toxins through the kidneys especially when combined with a lymphatic stimulant like cleavers (Galium aparine).
- Give as a tincture, 5 drops for every 30 pounds twice a day.
4. Self-Heal (Prunella vulgaris) is an herb often overlooked for preventing and treating tumors. Like dandelion, self-heal is common in yards and treated like a weed. A superlative lymphatic herb moving fluids in and out of tissues downward through the kidneys. Self-heal removes heat in the liver moving stagnant fluids and improving circulation. It is safe to use internally and externally to redistribute and break up fatty tissue.
- Give as a tincture, 1/2 drop of tincture for every pound of weight twice daily.
5. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) a popular anti-inflammatory increases blood flow with its warming nature. It improves digestion and soothes intestinal muscles while protecting the liver as well as stimulating bile secretions from the gallbladder. Turmeric should be used cautiously with dogs that can’t control their body temperature.
- Give 150 mg per 30 pounds of your dog’s weight twice a day.
6. Violet (Viola odorata) is one of the best lipoma herbs and it’s also safe for long-term use. Violets help dissolve hard and soft accumulations in the body through the lymphatic system. They’re cooling so they work especially well for hot conditions like fatty tumors. You can use violets internally and externally. Herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy used violet leaf as a poultice along with an infusion of the leaf and flower to remove any type of cyst or lipoma.
- To make an infusion, use 1 tsp for small dogs in a half-cup of water and divide into morning and evening doses. For medium dogs use 1 tbsp and 2 tbsp for large dogs. As a tincture, give 5 drops for every 30 pounds twice a day.
Note: General guidelines for using these dosages is giving them for six days on, one day off for six weeks, then take one week off for six months. Take one month off and start again.[Related: Do you know how to use herbs for pain relief for your dog? Here’s how]
Easy Lipoma Salve Recipe
What you need:
- 36 dry violet flowers with leaves
- 14 dry sage leaves
- 1/4 ounce of dry chickweed
- 8 ounces olive oil
- Organic vitamin E
- 1 ounce of beeswax
- 10 drops frankincense essential oil (optional)
It’s easy to make:
- Add olive oil to small crockpot and place herbs in and stir.
- Cover and let warm for 12 hours at 100 degrees. The oil should take on some of the color and odor of the herbs when infused.
- When your oil is ready, pour through a strainer into a glass pitcher.
- Add the essential oil and 10 ml of vitamin E and stir for two minutes.
- When you’re ready to make your salve, use a double boiler to melt the beeswax (approx. 145 degrees). Pour the wax into the infused oil and stir, then pour into containers and cap when cool.
Apply salve to lipomas twice daily. This salve is safe to lick.
Using herbal remedies with patience and consistency can support the body’s elimination channels. Recovery from lipomas is individual and some dogs will respond at a faster pace than others.
The goal is to slowly dissolve fatty tumors so the body isn’t overwhelmed with toxins and the herbs and the other healing methods I’ve mentioned in this article as well as homeopathy offer effective ways to support the body’s elimination channels while working to get the body back in balance. Working with these methods will not show success quickly but with patience and consistency, you’ll see these fatty lumps get smaller and in many cases disappear.

Dewey Dewitt has been involved in golf for over 65 years. Dewey remembers some of the people that he spent time with on the course.
“Where we are right now Rene in 1946 this was a sheep farm. Lester Baker owned it and in 1947 he put it in operation and I came out and worked for him. Then a group bought it with the Pierces, Mckay, Putnams and Dr Gormely and Frank Tomlin bought the place and made it into a Country Club. I played a lot with those fellows in those particular years. Also when I went to Presque Isle I was involved in the early making of that course. The first meeting had Oscar Taggott as Chairman. Irwin Porter Carl Moskwitz, Joe Freeman Sid Cook among other. Bud Survant. That is when Presque isle started. When Aroostook Valley transferred to 18 from 9 Perron Edmunds was the gun over there and Perron was a good friend of mine. I served on the Board of Directors over there. When Vaughn Currier decided to build Fort Kent I talked to Vaughn a lot about it. Dana Swett negotiated the money to get Portage started. Dana was a good friend of mine. and I was lucky enough to hit the first ball off the tee. That was back in the 60′s. All in all I have seen the growth of Golf pretty much in the last 60 years.”

Self isolating is alarmingly easy when you are an introverted home-based worker. One thing is for sure, when this blows over I need to get my arse outside and join a book club or something, so little of my routine has changed, its scary. However, this unfortunately does not apply to work flow.
Day 12 – of COVID-19 affecting me directly.
In Q1 2020, I currently am 25 years old and this is my first time experiencing world crisis after I reach adulthood. The first time I knew about coronavirus in December 2019, I thought it is only going to affect healthcare and political systems; yet, after the Wufan’s lockdown, I knew it is soon going to be economical. And it is our first world crisis after social media interconnectedness-digital era that human mankind is facing new lethal virus with its unique challenges including hoax, mass paranoid, and over sharing for their preventive actions to protect themselves from the virus. The virus is not as fatal as plague in 14th century, influenza, SARS or H1N1 but the crowds’ character has changed. They started to stockpile masks, hand sanitizers, and food like it’s WW3; and the panic spreads faster than the virus itself.
Even the most developed countries, which we call “the first-world countries,” have to battle unemployment daily.

The purpose of this research is to identify economic theory within the company Facebook, to explore the potential that social networking sites possess, and to recognize the influence that they yield in merging many smaller economies into a more globalized one. In the opening, the history of Facebook is covered briefly, and then the stated reasons as to why Facebook has aided in globalizing the economy is discussed more in depth, lastly mentioned is the impending long term outcomes are considered. The sources herein include a scholarly article by John P. Tiemstra, professor of economics at Calvin College, an interview with hosting founder Mark Zuckerberg, and other select articles and videos relating to the company.
“Always be prepared,” so the boy scout’s motto goes, but always being prepared for the curve balls thrown by the macro-environment is not as easy as it might sound. The macro-environment is made up of “six principal components: political factors, economic conditions in the firm’s general environment (local, country, regional, worldwide), sociocultural forces, technological factors, environmental factors (concerning the natural environment), and legal/regulatory conditions” (Thompson 2016). Every business or company out there, including Apple, must prepare for, as much as possible, and respond to the pressure of the six components of the macro-environment.

A raft of downgrades pummeled the MDC Partners Inc (NASDAQ:MDCA) stock after the advertising holding company issued a worse-than-expected earnings report, lowered guidance and cut its dividend.
The stock dived off a cliff, so to speak, plunging nearly 60% to close the day at $3.40, with 25.28 million shares changing hands. That was 27 times its average volume of 0.92 million shares.
Technically, the stock gave an ominous warning in July when it broke the neckline at $15.50 of a head-and-shoulders topping pattern on the monthly chart. Investors should have been in sell mode once the stock broke the $15 level.
On current reckoning, the stock appears to be on course to test its 2009 low of $1.10.
MDC Partners Inc (NASDAQ:MDCA) had a tough third quarter
For the third quarter, MDC reported an adjusted per share loss of $0.16, while analysts were looking for earnings of $0.22 per share.
MDC clocked revenue of $349.25 million, which missed by $5.05 million but grew 6.3% year on year.
“The third quarter was impacted by the many actions we are taking to position our business for long-term profitable growth and balance sheet strength,” said Scott Kauffman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are reducing expenses, optimizing our partner portfolio, and re-prioritizing how we allocate capital, all while investing in our partners to ensure that they have the right resources to continue to drive outstanding performance for our clients.”
To conserve cash resources, the company suspended its dividend, saving it $11 million in cash per quarter.
MDC Partners Inc (NASDAQ:MDCA) lowers guidance
MDC lowered revenue guidance for the full year to the range $1.365B to $1.375B from the previous $1.39B to $1.42B, and cut guidance for EBITDA to the range of $170M to $180M from the previous $205M to $215M.
“Our lowered 2016 outlook reflects a diminished revenue recovery in the second half of the year as well as the upfront costs associated with our expense containment and restructuring initiatives,” said David Doft, CFO. “While we won’t see the payback this year, these actions will enable us to permanently remove approximately $30 million of costs on a run-rate basis.”
MDC Partners Inc (NASDAQ:MDCA) downgraded
Analysts at Wells Fargo, Wedbush and BMO Capital all downgraded MDC from Outperform to Market Perform, Neutral and Market Perform respectively.

Koji Oishi flattened Honorio Banario at One FC 13. | Photo Courtesy: One FC
Koji Oishi proved he has staying power.
Oishi retained his One Fighting Championship featherweight crown, as he knocked out Honorio Banario in the third round of the One FC 13 “Moment of Truth” headliner on Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines. Oishi (25-9-10, 2-0 One FC), who KO’d “The Rock” to win the 145-pound title in May, sealed the deal 1:43 into round three.
Banario (8-3, 2-3 One FC) enjoyed early success with his punching combinations. However, the seasoned Oishi was merely biding his time. The champion staggered Banario twice in the second round, foreshadowing what was to come. In the third, Oishi found yet another gear, moved forward, floored the challenger with a right hand and polished him off with follow-up blows.
In the co-main event, One FC bantamweight grand prix finalist Kevin Belingon bounced back beautifully from his May defeat to Masakatsu Ueda, as he knocked out previously unbeaten Spaniard David Aranda Santacana a little less than three minutes into their confrontation at 135 pounds. Santacana (9-1, 0-1 One FC) met his end 2:53 into round one, buried by a brutal left hook.
Belignon (12-3, 3-3 One FC) set the table for the finish with an exquisite spinning back kick to the body. During a subsequent exchange, the 26-year-old uncorked a left hook that brought Santacana’s promotional debut to a dramatic and decisive close, Belignon’s Filipino countrymen
erupting with approval.
Meanwhile, repeated takedowns and heavy ground-and-pound drove onetime Universal Reality Combat Championship titleholder Eduard Folayang to a one-sided unanimous verdict over Dutch journeyman Vincent Latoel in their bantamweight showcase.
Folayang (13-4, 3-2 One FC), who entered the cage on a two-fight losing streak, struck for takedowns in all three rounds and assaulted his overmatched adversary on the canvas. Latoel (14-4-2, 1-1 One FC) was never much of a factor in the fight. Folayang iced the victory with a strong third round, where he survived a flurry of desperate punches from the Golden Glory representative,
scored with another takedown and piled up the strikes on the ground.
Elsewhere, a damaging clinch game and effective counterstriking carried South African muay Thai stylist Vuyisile Colossa to perhaps the most significant victory of his career, as he took a unanimous decision from AMC Pankration’s Caros Fodor in a featured lightweight tilt.
Colossa (7-4, 3-1 One FC) did his best work in close quarters, where he attacked the Strikeforce and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran with knees and elbows. Fodor (8-4, 1-1 One FC), who seemed to be a step behind his counterpart in the standup, answered with a pair of ill-advised guillotine choke attempts.
Both failed, allowing Colossa to rack up meaningful points in top position.
The loss was Fodor’s third in four appearances.
Finally, Lakay MMA flyweight Geje Eustaquio (5-2, 2-1 One FC) captured a unanimous verdict over Eugene Toquero (4-1, 0-1 One FC); unbeaten South Korean prospect Dae Hwan Kim (9-0-1, 1-0 One FC) submitted Thanh Vu (3-3, 1-2 One FC) with a rear-naked choke 4:10 into the second round of their bantamweight clash; Canadian import Paul Cheng (4-1, 1-0 One FC) struck Alain Ngalani (1-1, 1-1 One FC) into submission 4:54 into round one of their heavyweight scrap; former Shooto champion Koetsu Okazaki (9-3-1, 1-1 One FC) submitted Josh Alvarez (12-6, 0-1 One FC) with a rear-naked choke 3:13 into the second round of their battle at 135 pounds; Ruel Catalan (2-4, 1-0 One FC) put away Cambodian newcomer Khim Dima (0-1, 0-1 One FC) with punches 3:35 into round one of their flyweight battle; and Evolve MMA’s Herbert Burns (2-0, 2-0 One FC) submitted Edward Kelly (5-1, 0-1 One FC) with a rear-naked choke 44 seconds into the first round of their encounter at 145 pounds.

State Supreme Court Upholds Reardon Saint Francis Payout
The State Supreme Court today upheld a multi-million dollar verdict against Saint Francis Hospital, in a case of child sexual abuse by Doctor George Reardon.
At trial, the jury awarded Tim Doe Number one $2.75-million.
He was eight in 1969, when he and his 10-year-old sister were recruited for Reardon’s bogus growth study.
Reardon used the so-called study to get access to several hundred children starting in the 1960’s, so he could take sexual photographs of them and sexually abuse them.
The pictures were found in Reardon’s West Hartford house, years after he died.
The hospital claimed that it should only have been liable for the abuse, if it knew that Reardon was a pedophile.

ITIMAD-UD-DAULAH MAUSOLEUM Architectural similarities to the Taj Mah can not be missed as one views the Mausoleum from the Entry Gate. Often described as a “jewel box,” it is sometimes called the “Baby Tāj” and regarded as a draft of that larger and more famous mausoleum. Built between 1622 and 1628, the structure is approximately 23 meters square and sits on a base of about 50 meters. Although there is no comparison to the Taj Mahal in terms of grandness and scale, Itimad-ud-Daulah is more delicate in appearance, due in part to its finely carved jali (marble lattice screens). The mausoleum was the first Mughal structure built completely from marble, the first to make extensive use of pieta dura, and the first tomb to be built on the banks of the Yamuna, which until then had been a sequence of beautiful pleasure gardens.

Courteney Cox regrets chasing the fountain of youth.
The “Friends” alumnus gave a wide-ranging interview to New Beauty about Hollywood’s obsession with staying young and how it led her to make poor choices with her own looks.
“I grew up thinking that appearance was the most important thing. That’s kind of sad because it got me in trouble. I was trying so hard to keep up, and I actually made things worse,” she explained, noting that doctors would often pressure her to nip and tuck here and there.
“Well, what would end up happening is that you go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there.’ So you walk out and you don’t look so bad and you think, no one noticed — it’s good. Then somebody tells you about another doctor: ‘This person’s amazing. They do this person who looks so natural.’ You meet them and they say, ‘You should just do this.'”
With so many outside opinions, Cox, 53, no longer looked like herself.
“The next thing you know, you’re layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh s–t, this doesn’t look right.’ And it’s worse in pictures than in real life,” Cox said. “I have one friend who was like, ‘Whoa, no more!’ I thought, I haven’t done anything in six months. I didn’t realize.”
Other friends told her differently, assuring her that she looked good, but eventually, she had had enough.
“I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was,” Cox added. “I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren’t wrinkles — they’re smile lines. I’ve had to learn to embrace movement and realize that fillers are not my friend.”

David Haines and Joyce Hinterding have always been interested in the invisible energies that surround us, and that curiosity often finds its way into their art. Electromagnetic radiation is in the air all around us, but in this work we see it in action. The artists perform a mysterious dance with fluorescent light tubes under the huge transmission towers near their home in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia. The electrical field created by the towers is strong enough to affect the mercury gas inside the tubes, creating an ultraviolet light that strikes the tubes’ phosphor coating and makes them glow strangely against the night sky.

Reports not important to Silva
Everton boss Marco Silva has been speaking about reports that the Toffees could face punishment over suggestions they tapped up the former Watford boss.
The Toffees are currently in the middle of an independent inquiry relating to Silva’s sacking at Watford.
That inquiry could even lead to a points deduction or heavy fine.
Silva was sacked when it became apparent that his head had been turned by an approach from Everton.
A statement at the time his sacking explained:
“The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the board believes has seen a significant deterioration in focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford FC has been jeopardised.”
Was Marco Silva tapped-up by Everton?
Now, Marco Silva has been forced to talk about the situation in his press conference today.
While he didn’t want to get caught up in the subject, he explained that he is ‘really calm’ with the situation.
‘I don’t have thoughts about the situation,’ explained Silva in his press conference.
‘I don’t lose my focus, I am really calm with the situation and my focus is on what is important for me and for us as a club and it is the next game.
‘I’ve been working here since July 3 to prepare our squad for the matches and training sessions.
‘I don’t hear anything. It is not important for us and for me as a manager, for our players or for us as a club.’
Potential punishment in Marco Silva’s Everton ‘tapping up’ case revealed
It really does seem like Everton and Silva are in a sticky situation.
Should they be found guilty, there could be some hefty punishments dished out.
They could include a points deduction which could be huge.

Every stage of life brings exciting challenges as well as problematic obstacles. At Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning, we offer students a confidential and safe classroom to learn the necessary skills to manage.
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning began building its team of educational and mental health professionals in 2001. Students and families are offered a dedicated staff with specialized experience in Special Education, Psychiatry, Psychology, Psychometry and Social Work.
The elementary school program at Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning has been issued a Board Student Identification Number (BSID) and is listed as a private school on the Ontario Ministry of Education website. Our mission is to provide individualized, therapeutically supported educational programming for students from kindergarten to grade 8, whose learning has been impacted upon by challenges from developmental, medical, and mental health conditions. We work in partnership with the local school board to help adolescent students earn high school credits.
At Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning, our primary goal is to provide children with opportunities for academic success and thereby create a positive attitude toward an environment that is often avoided, due to their previous negative experiences.
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning’s mission is to maintain the child’s academic placement through the development of therapeutic relationships, the application of behavioral management techniques, the implementation of individualized learning programs and continuous clinical and academic support.
Applewood Academy’s vision is that children with specialized treatment needs will have access to high quality, compassionate and therapeutic educational programming that allows for the simultaneous delivery of educational and therapeutic interventions.
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning has set its’ goals:
- To assist children with special treatment and learning needs in obtaining their highest academic potential;
- To promote healthy personality development in the child;
- To reduce and counterbalance the negative factors contributing to a child’s emotional health;
- To support and facilitate the transition of the child back into a community school whenever possible and beneficial to the child or engage in planning which promotes continuity of care for the child when this is not possible;
- To support the child becoming a successful and self-led learner;
- To support the child to feel part of a school community; and
- To provide professional teaching and counseling through classroom experiences that promote normal maturation (care), prevent further injury to the child (safety), and correct specific problems that interfere with healthy personality development (treatment).
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning’s clients experience difficulties attending traditional academic placements. Often they are identified as having learning disabilities; mild intellectual defiencies; developmental disabilities; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; oppositional defiant disorder; conduct disorder or other emotional difficulties, such as, anxiety and sadness, which makes socializing very difficult.
The average client at Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning has had classroom experiences that are frequently characterized by peer conflict, teacher conflict, marginalization and failure. Resources for assisting our clients within traditional school settings are limited. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to secure and maintain placements within traditional academic settings.
As an alternative, maintaining a ‘home school’ program diminishes the client’s access to appropriate social experiences, limits the quality of instruction offered and further marginalizes the client. Home schooling over extended periods of time also places excessive strain on the parent-child relationship and increases the likelihood of family breakdowns.
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning provides short and long term educational / therapeutic programming for children in this situation, understands the challenges that families face with traditional academic settings and work with all members of a client’s treatment team, medical, psychological, and psychiatric to create a positive learning environment for the client and maximize the client’s learning potential.
Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning is open to any child in need. Any parent or guardian in the community may refer their child to Applewood Academy.
Role of Employees
- To provide academic programming which reflects the treatment goals established by the treatment team during in take and the initial assessment;
- To provide consistently calm, respectful, nurturing educational and social opportunities for the student to learn and grow in the classroom setting;
- To continue to assess the student’s progress and functioning and support the student in meeting established goals;
- To provide counseling to the student as they work through difficult situation that arise in the classroom;
- To provide extensive modeling of appropriate social interactions and problem solving;
- To provide a structured and consistent environment in which positive behavior is rewarded and negative behavior is compassionately redirected;
- To assist the student in meeting their developmental milestones; recognizing that many students who have experienced breaks in familial relationships and / or educational placements require more support than their same age peers;
- To establish and maintain excellent communication with all treatment team members regarding the student’s progress in the school setting;
- To provide leadership in establishing and maintaining communication with the student’s community school and work toward reintegration when indicated.
On some occasions, Applewood Academy may provide educational assistance to students being treated at BridgeCross Center for Eating Disorders. In these circumstances, the student’s assigned worker at BridgeCross will liaise wit the Applewood Academy’s Director of Services to arrange for the type of academic support required. It is expected that residents at BridgeCross continue with academic programming through their home schools and these students are likely to work on their academic program at the BridgeCross Center, as opposed to at the school site.
Role of Parents / Guardians
- Parents/guardians of students will actively communicate with Applewood Academy regarding the needs and progress of their child;
- Parents / Guardians will attend all relevant meetings related to their child’s placement at Applewood Academy;
- Parents / Guardians will encourage their child with respect to school attendance and academic performance;
- Parents / Guardians will assist their child at home through the use of structured homework time, the application of appropriate natural and logical consequences for behavior, monitoring of homework completion and tutorial assistance;
- Parents / Guardians will request a case conference with the treatment team if their child’s need for academic support at home exceeds that which they feel they are able to provide. Tutorial supports may be considered in these circumstances.
In 1999, Mr. Jeffrey J. Waplak joined with Terry Stevenson to form Stevenson, Waplak & Associates. Stevenson, Waplak & Associates is a team of mental health professionals. Clients are offered a dedicated staff with specialized experience and designation in Psychiatry, Psychology, Counseling, Psychometry and Social Work. Stevenson, Waplak & Associates now provides services to more than 200 clients per year.
In 1999, Stevenson, Waplak & Associates‘ expertise in residential treatment was partnered with the residential management skills of Mr. Michael Schmidt to form Quinte Children’s Homes. Quinte Children’s Homes fashioned their program so that both primary care and treatment were delivered through Parent Therapists. Now, Quinte Children’s Homes helps more than 80 Children and Youth per year through its network of 35 Parent Therapy Foster Homes.
In 2002, Quinte Children’s Homes and Stevenson, Waplak & Associates developed a specialized Day Treatment Program and a partnership was created with Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning, to provide educational and day treatment services to clients unable to attend community schools. Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning now helps 20 to 30 children per school year to continue learning, while offering a treatment plan that addresses their emotional and behavioural problems, and charts a path for their return to community school.
In 2007, BridgeCross Residential and Outpatient Treatment Centre for Eating Disorders was developed in partnership with the clinical expertise of Stevenson, Waplak & Associates, the residential treatment expertise of Quinte Children’s Homes, and the educational expertise of Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning. It now provides residential treatment for 8 girls and young women in need of weight restoration and stabilization.

10 to 15 seconds sounds like you have the difficulty on
too high or it's user error. Some encounters are hard, yes, but the game isn't exactly speedy so something is wrong.
Are your companions geared out properly? Are you levelling them in a sensible manner? Who makes up your party? How are your tactics set up? Are you using health poultices? Are you prioritising your attacks on certain NPCs (e.g. mages first)?

On the Road: Hitting the Big Time in Indianapolis
The fourth stop on this, my penultimate road trip of the season, was Indianapolis. I had been to this city once before in a professional context, as Indianapolis was the site of the 2009 Winter Meetings. Weirdly enough, I didn’t visit the Indianapolis Indians’ home of Victory Field during the 2009 Winter Meetings. I did, however, take a tour of the Colts’ home of Lucas Oil Field. Man, this feels like a long time ago.
After checking into the downtown La Quinta, I began the .75 mile walk to Victory Field. Along the way, I passed the home of the Indianapolis Pacers. It is called the “Bankers Life Fieldhouse,” because very few things are more exciting than the life of a banker.
Ah, yes, here we are: Victory Field, built in 1996 as the home of the Indianapolis Indians. Please note that the Indians are NOT an affiliate of the Indians, but the Pittsburgh Pirates. They and the Spokane Indians are the only two teams in Minor League Baseball to share a name with a Major League team while not being affiliated with the team in question. Do with that what you will.
Victory Field is located within spitting distance of Lucas Oil Field, the NCAA Hall of Champions and the Indianapolis Zoo (among other points of cultural interest). It is also located within spitting distance of a steam plant.
Upon arriving at the stadium, I was met by Indians media relations manager Brian Bosma. He was a very gracious and accommodating host throughout the evening, which kicked off with a walking tour. We started at the uppermost tier of the ballpark, with me making an offhand remark that walking around at this level of elevation felt like “being on the roof.”
We did, climbing an imposing steel ladder to get there, and here are the photos to prove it. That monolithic JW Marriot is a recent addition to the skyline; it was completed in 2011 and is part of a $450 million “Marriot Place” project consisting of five hotels that are all connected to the Indiana convention center.
Also, note that the Indiana state capitol building can be seen as well. It’s located beyond center field (shaded toward left), a green-ish dome dwarfed by the buildings surrounding it.
Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to meet Indy Indians president Max Schumacher, who began working for the team in 1957 as a ticket sales manager. He became president in 1969, and was instrumental in the conception and construction of Victory Field. The stadium opened in 1996, its name a reference to the team’s previous home of Bush Stadium, which itself bore the name of Victory Field from 1942-67. (Bush Stadium, incidentally, has since been turned into an apartment complex.)
Anyhow, I was talking about not having met Max Schumacher. But I did visit his suite. That framed uniform on the wall dates back to 1949. It belonged to the team’s bat boy, who eventually grew up to be a bat man.
Each of these balls is from an Indianapolis Indians’ no-hitter, signed by the pitcher (or pitchers) who threw it.
Below, you will be gazing upon framed ticket stubs from the last game at Bush Stadium (July 3, 1996) and first game at Victory Field (July 11). I can only imagine how hectic that season must have been, closing one ballpark and opening another in the span of a little more than a week.
Down on the concourse, one can find many an illuminated placard dedicated to prominent Indy Indians alumni.
Bosma told me a story about Randy Johnson during his time in Indianapolis, when he was so wild and intimidating that none of his teammates would stand in against him during batting practice. Razor Shines finally stepped up the challenge and immediately got drilled; thereupon everyone steered clear of Randy Johnson for good. Out of options, the team borrowed a mannequin from the nearby Indiana State museum and Johnson promptly threw a ball right through it.
I can only assume that this is true, but, even if it’s apocryphal its still a good story and who doesn’t love a good apocryphal story?
As for the presence of Razor Shines on the Indians’ roster, that can definitely be confirmed. He spent nine seasons in Indianapolis, retiring after the 1993 season at the age of 36.
“Razor Shines, he was the mayor of Indy,” said Bosma. “If you talk to anyone here who’s in their late 30s or early 40s, they’ll say that Razor was their favorite player.”
Razor and Randy played in Indianapolis at a time when the Indians were affiliated with the Expos. These days, the Pirates are the parent club.
This seating section is sponsored by the Hoosier Lottery. If an Indians player hits a home run off of the foul pole in the fifth inning, then one person in that section wins $1 million. This has yet to happen.
Here’s another enticing home run target. A pre-selected fan wins this truck if a player hits it with a home run, but that fan needs to be in attendance to win it. While the truck has been hit on several occasions, no fan has ever been in the ballpark to claim it. Bosma reports that Tony Sanchez hit it once, and asked if he could win it instead. No deal, Tony. No deal.
My previous post, on the Columbus Clippers, noted that that team has a Victory Bell. Well, so do the Indians. Specifically, it is the “Max Schumacher Victory Bell.” It was dedicated in 2011, and a fan gets to ring it after every victory. Max Schumacher does not ring it, because after it was dedicated the team lost their next seven games and he figured that he must have cursed it somehow.
With the game about to begin, Bosma and I headed over to “The Cove.”
Note the near-total lack of outfield signage. It’s all part of a larger organizational philosophy, to present the team as simply and professionally as possible. This is a Minor League stadium with a Major League kind of feel, as befits a team playing in a city that also hosts an NBA and NFL team.
Plenty of people were willing to pay $10 for berm seats, hauling in their own blankets and coolers. Or, even better for young fans, membership in the team’s Knothole Club costs just $16 and includes a season-ticket pass good for lawn or reserved seat admission. $16 for the whole season!
But we weren’t in the Cove just so that I could randomly take a bunch of photos and make a bunch of observations. I can do that anywhere. We were in the Cove so that I could meet my designated eater for the evening (you know, the individual who eats the ballpark food that my gluten-free diet prohibits).
This is Greg Hotopp, an Indianapolis resident (by way of Cincinnati) who works for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
This was definitely a first, and credit to Brian Bosma for doing it: Greg was given his own designated eating credential. Other teams, take note!
Greg said that he enjoys attending Indians games with his wife, Tracie, and their three-year-old daughter (she was left at home with a sitter on this particular evening). He has no problem rooting for the home team, but as a fan of the Cincinnati Reds this can lead to conflicting emotions.
“It can be tough as a Reds fan,” he said. “Like, ‘McCutcheon is amazing!’ and then the realization ‘Oh, crap. That’s not going to bode well for the Reds.'”
But Greg wasn’t here to wax on the contradictory nature of the Minor League fan experience. He was here to eat, and eat he did.
Designated Eater checks in IndyIndians https://t.co/7aBPlMPE9v
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) July 21, 2014
Greg is eating a “Shish-Kadog,” which is a shish kabob on a hot dog bun. It stands to reason that this would be so. This is the chicken version, topped with onion, pineapple, peppers and teriyaki sauce.
Greg was mildly pleased with this creation.
“It tastes pretty good, pretty much as advertised,” he said. “A little messy, but that’s okay. I’d never had pineapple at a ballpark before.”
The kadog was washed down with an Indians Lager, made specially for the team by Sun King brewery.
“This isn’t just me trying to impress Ben Hill, I actually like it,” said Greg of the lager. “This is third on my list of favorite Sun King beers [behind Sunlight Cream Ale and Cowbell Porter]. I get growlers of this.”
Tracie couldn’t help chiming in here.
“All of a sudden he’s this craft beer guy,” she said. “He used to never drink it.”
Greg agreed that this was true. He was more of a whisky guy, with Kentucky Barrel Bourbon Ale serving as his gateway to the world of beer.
Beer definitely goes with nachos.
BBQ Nachos, specifically, topped with pulled pork, cheese and jalapenos. Traiei had been content to stay behind the scenes — “Behind every designated eater is a good woman,” said Greg — but who can resist nachos?
And with that, Greg’s duties were done.
“It was everything I could have wished for, and more,” he said.
Thank you for your service.
While still in The Cove, I spoke with communications coordinator Chris Robinson about the team’s Twitter account. The Indians have more followers than any team in Minor League Baseball, and I wrote an article about the team’s Twitter strategy and style HERE.
Robinson, wishing to retain an air of mystique, posed for a photo with his face obscured. He may or may not be the same Chris Robinson who fronts the Black Crowes.
As Rowdie looked on, I made a top-secret transformation into a Chik-Fil-A Cow. A sign was draped around my neck exhorting the populace to consume the flesh of a chicken in lieu of consuming the flesh of a cow.
Did an onfield race occur? Does documentation exist? These questions may never be answered. All that I can tell you is that transforming into a cow and then back into a human takes a lot out of a guy. I was exhausted.
But there was no rest, for the weary or otherwise. Another metamorphosis led to a another new persona, this time as an overall, glove and goggle-wearing keg-toting bearded Sun King brewer.
My task was to carry a keg toward my teammate stationed in the outfield.
Good luck, and Godspeed.
It was a valiant effort, but we lost. I drowned my sorrows with french fries from the team’s “Build-A-Fry” concession area. (One can also build their own burgers and nachos.) Yes, there are french fries in there somewhere.
And, yes, that is a collector’s cup. I have not done a good job providing #cupdates this season, but here you go:
And that’s all she wrote from Indianapolis, she being the muse that guides all creative endeavors. I spent the last inning of the game in fan mode, sitting in the Cove with Bosma, waxing nostalgic about childhood baseball memories. It was nice to get the chance to do this.
But, alas, no victory bell could be heard at Victory Field that evening as the visiting Charlotte Knights emerged victorious. Maybe some other time, bell. Maybe some other time.
Meanwhile, my next trip begins later this week. Here’s the itinerary (an asterisk next to the name means that a designated eater is still needed at that location). Get in touch.

The systems that nonprofit and micro-businesses use to define, document and measure processes are similar because their access to resources is similar. I like to call these systems “Low Resource Systems” (LRS).
(This is appealing on two levels. First, those are the maiden initials of my name and second because the first appeal makes it easy for me to remember. What good is ingenious insight if you cannot recall it when the perfect opportunity arises to spit it out and raise eyebrows… and raise hope?)
The very idea of a Low Resource System means that a problem must be solved in an efficient manner.
Not so long ago, you could ask for ketchup at the McDonalds drive-thru and get a fist full; whether or not you really wanted that much. The extras ended up in cars, offices, and kitchens until the packaging color fades and crinkles to the point that the highly preserved contents may be perfectly edible, but not worth getting past the yuck factor to eat it. Lately, ask for ketchup and you are asked: “How many?”
Wait? How much ketchup DO I need?
You: “Three please!”
Them: …handing you ‘enough’ ketchup, “Thank you, have a nice day!”
Financial turn-around guru Myron Golden has a definition of money management that was a great resource to fashion this approach to resource management:
“Manage resources so that OUT-go dwarfs IN-come so UP-keep does not become DOWN-fall.” ~alorrinda
McDonald’s may not be a low resource business, but even they know that throwing too much ketchup at every customer that came through the drive-thru is a waste of resources.
After all, money is just one important resource for starting, strategizing, stabilizing, sustaining, scaling, and skyrocketing a venture. Ketchup is another.
It’s sad to hear talk about nonprofit and micro-business as if they are “less fortunate” organizations that would rather be “Fortune 500” companies. Nothing can be further from the truth.
The primary function of a “non-profit” is not to increase the amount of money the owners draw from that business, but to increase the value that is deposited into people and communities.
The same goes for us at Unity, as well as many other socially-aware businesses. We’re on a mission to lift up our community and those around us.
The mind shift is where the rewards are directed, not whether rewards exist. Maybe the distinction should be “For Profit” vs “For People.” The collective impact we can have on the experience of the human condition and the quality of life itself. Neither is wrong, just different; like each of us.
It changes the game for all types of organizations to think of money alongside other valuable resources like talent, skill, influence, ingenuity, energy, access, connections, favor, insight, innovation, information, and creativity.
Just trust the idea that what you have is far more important than what you don’t. After all, you have unfettered access to what you already have.
Putting forth the effort (another valuable resource) to make what is readily available do more to make business thrive is an approach worth pondering.
Technology is an attractive wheelhouse for maximizing the value of the time to perform essential, internal business processes. Rich opportunities for nonprofits, micro-businesses, and startups are out there.
Systematically gleaning solutions from a variety of industries, contexts, and disciplines helps budding enterprises stay around long enough to bloom into a value the world can’t live without.

Broad Spectrum CBGA Oils
Broad Spectrum CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid) oils are gaining attention in the wellness community for their unique properties and potential health benefits. CBGA is known as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” serving as a precursor to other cannabinoids like CBD and THC in the cannabis plant. These oils contain a range of cannabinoids but are THC-free, making them non-psychoactive.
Preliminary research suggests that CBGA may have several health-promoting properties, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects. This makes Broad Spectrum CBGA oils a topic of interest for individuals seeking natural alternatives for health and wellness.
These oils are versatile and can be incorporated into various forms, such as tinctures, capsules, and topical products, catering to diverse preferences and needs. As research into CBGA continues, these oils are emerging as a compelling addition to the cannabinoid-based wellness landscape, offering potential benefits derived from one of the most fundamental compounds in the cannabis plant.

The prompt for the third week of Mermay is Siren Song. The Medieval siren was half-women-half-fish, the ancient greek siren was half-woman-half-bird. And I mixed them😎. Also, there is one idea I liked. Sirens didn't seduce people, but sing them a song so sad, that they will stay at their island in melancholy. And then sirens ate them🤷♀️.

We’re delighted to introduce our next curator, Dr Gwyneth Gordon, Research Scientist, Arizona State University. Gwyneth (@gwynnotpaltrow) started out studying hydrothermal reactions near a gold deposit in east Greenland. She then trained as an isotope geochemist, studying the elemental and isotope budget of osmium, a platinum group metal, moved in the modern oceans, atmosphere, rivers and soils. She transitioned to studying non-traditional stable isotopes of redox sensitive metals (molybdenum, iron, uranium) might allow us to understand the early oxidation history of the Earth. She’s now applying these same tools to modern humans – using calcium isotopes as a monitor of bone mineral balance in astronauts and cancer patients, and identifying where people were born and lived in a forensic context. The central theme of her research is applying the isotope tools developed in geology to as many cool applications as she can think of. We asked her our usual questions and here she is, in her own words.
I always enjoyed science in high school. Growing up, our family took lots of driving trips across the US, visiting all the National Parks and camping out. My father wanted to study geology, but decided he couldn’t support a family doing science, so he became a lawyer instead. However, he instilled in me a love of the outdoors and nature, and a desire to understand how things came to be as they are.
I tried out physics, but didn’t feel comfortable in the department. I knew I wanted to study science, and the Geology Department was desperate for undergraduate majors. They offered an all expense paid trip to hike the Grand Canyon for spring break, even if you weren’t a major. Who could ask for better – hiking the Grand Canyon with professional geologists? I was hooked.
My field of study is isotope geochemistry. My earlier studies focussed on understanding the mobility of elements in the natural environment, using naturally occurring isotopes to trace the sources and pathways in the ocean, rivers and soils. However, I’ve become interested in applying these same isotope tools to more modern problems. I’m working on using a variety of different isotope systems in biomedicine and forensics. I’m funded by NASA to work on calcium isotopes as a monitor of bone mineral balance in astronauts – now applying this technique for cancer patients when cancer metastasizes to bone. I’m also funded by the Department of Justice to study isotopes at two Body Farms to trace where people were born and lived – particularly so we can identify corpses found without identification.
Why should the public care about your work?
I’m hoping to help evaluate treatments for cancer and figure out who homicide victims are. Who wouldn’t care about that?
I believe everyone is born a scientist. Developing, testing hypotheses and doing experiments is how we learn about the world. That new diet you’re on? – that’s an experiment with yourself before the dietary change as a control. The concepts I deal with on a daily basis in isotope geochemistry – mass balance, material moving from one reservoir to another, chemical reactions – are at their heart very simple. Working from simple concepts to very cool applications is something everyone does every day – people just don’t always realize that’s what they’re doing. I don’t think science is reserved for academic scientists.
For the last five years, I’ve been volunteering once a week with the Mesa Police Department Forensic Services Department as a Volunteer Crime Scene Specialist. I process property crime scenes, from residential, vehicle and commercial burglaries, criminal damage and minor accidents. I am certified to photograph the scene, process for latent prints, collect DNA swabs, collect evidence and do comparative shoeprint photography. I’ve collected more than a dozen AFIS hits (matching fingerprints at a scene to a known person in the database) and several CODIS hits (matching DNA to someone in the felony database). It may be the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Hobbies Include: Cooking -it’s a great application of chemistry!. Talking to random people on the bus to learn about their lives. You never know where ideas from one source will cross-fertilize ideas from another.
Ideal Day Off: Taking my dogs on a long walk by the canal. Having a nice lunch with my husband at our favorite Italian deli. Reading a trashy novel and seeing a movie.
Please welcome Gwyneth Gordon to Real Scientists!

The New York Times Company released their second quarter financials today, and Peter Kafka did some quick digging. He found that while print subscriptions were dropping, more than 200,000 new users have signed up for the digital subscription, closing the gap for lost revenue on the dead tree side of things. In other word, the NYT paywall seems to be paying off.
In addition to the 224,000 digital subscribers it got for web, phone and tablet access, the NYT signed up 57,000 users for its Kindle edition. An additional 100,000 subscribers joined through a free promotion from Ford, and no doubt a percentage of them will stay on when that deal expires.
Nonetheless, a 2.6 percent rise in digital ad dollars couldn’t make up for a 6.4 percent drop in print revenue. Numbers for About.com, the NYT’s version of a content farm, slipped due to the changes implemented by Google in operation Panda.

The first phase of a master $656 million plan to construct a new police academy in College Point is well on track for substantial completion by next December, the NYPD said.
City recruits will not likely step foot into their new training digs until July 2014, but the two steel structures in the Phase 1 portion of the project — meant to house classrooms, administrative offices and gyms — have been erected and are close to being 100 percent constructed, according to Inspector Terrence Riley of the NYPD.
The 700,000-square-feet currently being developed in the project’s first phase, Riley said, will accommodate one tour of 1,640 recruits during their first six months of training. Among classrooms and gyms, the new space for the city’s finest-to-be will also include a quarter-mile outdoor running track and a mock-up small city with banks, stores, apartments and streetscapes for simulated scenario-based training.
Some 3,280 recruits a year will come in and out of the total 30 acre site — bordered by College Point Boulevard, 28th Avenue and Ulmer Street — once it is completed, but the full build has not been entirely designed or funded yet and will not be for a few years, Riley said.
“This is just the first piece of a master plan,” he said, adding that changing training needs, a shifting police force now consisting 30 percent of women, and the importance of consolidating training that is currently spread across the city led to the push for a new academy.
“Our firearms training is in the Bronx and our drivers training is in Brooklyn. So, we’re moving 2,000 to 3,000 recruits all around the city to get all their training over a six month period,” Riley said. “It just wasn’t efficient, so the decision was made to make really a substantial investment in a new police academy.”
But some College Point residents called that “substantial” multimillion dollar investment into question, saying the new academy will not directly decrease crime in the commercial area.
“I hear that figure and College Point doesn’t benefit from it,” said James Cervino, who said he and a growing group of locals have been calling for more police presence for years.
The recruits, Riley said, would be unarmed and half-trained and would not be walking the beat of College Point as a practice site during training. But 30 to 40 cops will be assigned to patrol the academy’s perimeters, Riley reassured, and the recruits will be expected to make arrests and call 9-1-1 if they spot a crime in progress.
“They are in the area and they are visible, which is better than now, which is nothing,” he said.
Riley also touted the 100 brand new positions that will open up for jobs maintaining the site’s power facilities. Instructors and staff, however, will be transferred over from the current police academy in Manhattan, he said.
Authorities are still working out issues revolving around the lack of parking spaces on site — only 900, which is not enough to cover one tour of recruits — and the estimated 80 trees chopped down around the academy’s perimeter without the NYPD’s knowledge.
Riley said the idea of shuttle buses, use of public transportation and carpool are being discussed and said the city’s Parks Department will replace the fallen trees with 120 new ones.

Approximate logic circuits: Theory and applications
Choudhury, Mihir Rajanikant
Doctor of Philosophy
CMOS technology scaling, the process of shrinking transistor dimensions based on Moore's law, has been the thrust behind increasingly powerful integrated circuits for over half a century. As dimensions are scaled to few tens of nanometers, process and environmental variations can significantly alter transistor characteristics, thus degrading reliability and reducing performance gains in CMOS designs with technology scaling. Although design solutions proposed in recent years to improve reliability of CMOS designs are power-efficient, the performance penalty associated with these solutions further reduces performance gains with technology scaling, and hence these solutions are not well-suited for high-performance designs. This thesis proposes approximate logic circuits as a new logic synthesis paradigm for reliable, high-performance computing systems. Given a specification, an approximate logic circuit is functionally equivalent to the given specification for a "significant" portion of the input space, but has a smaller delay and power as compared to a circuit implementation of the original specification. This contributions of this thesis include (i) a general theory of approximation and efficient algorithms for automated synthesis of approximations for unrestricted random logic circuits, (ii) logic design solutions based on approximate circuits to improve reliability of designs with negligible performance penalty, and (iii) efficient decomposition algorithms based on approxiiii mate circuits to improve performance of designs during logic synthesis. This thesis concludes with other potential applications of approximate circuits and identifies. open problems in logic decomposition and approximate circuit synthesis.

It was my best friend Swati’s *BFF* birthday and after putting her through a lot of misery I and Neha (Co-Author of The Glorified Eaters or so I believe) took her here and while we were dining here my (then) girlfriend calls!
Her: Hey!! Where are you?
Me: Swati’s birthday party!! We are at The Usual Place!
Her: What usual place?
Me: Babes, The Usual Place!!
Her: Ok! Can you just tell me you’re not already drunk!!
Me: Dude I am at The Usual Place
Her: We just started dating you know and I have no F’ing idea where you and your friends hangout!!!
Me: The Usual Place is the name of the restaurant!!Bwahahahahaha!!!
I mean this name itself needs a lot of credits, such a thoughtful name. I remember The Usual Place being referred to in the popular comedy series How I Met Your Mother. The owner should have a really good observation and a huge fan of the series as well.
Now let’s get down to some evaluation! The Usual Place is a bit shady, very low lights!! I mean I love less lights but for some reason I needed lights in this place because the place had a very good decor and having a little more light in there would have only got things better off! The Usual Place offers a very good drinks menu! The steward made sure we bleed every penny out of our pockets by constantly coming down and suggesting us their great line of drinks and offers! We had two rounds of Kamikaze, 2 rounds of Flaming Lamborghini Ah!! I seriously loved Flaming Lamborghini! I would just go back to this place over and over just to have the flaming Lamborghini.
*Ain’t that chick behind me cute!!*
The barkeeper was seriously good, he definitely had some finesse with the Lamborghini. The steward comes up to us and tells us about the Bladder Burst offer that they have. Unlimited rounds of Beer for just ₹499 till you pee!! Why not why not bring it on!! So before I started I made sure to use the loo!! And then there was like 8 glasses of beer and I was still up for more but that’s when the attendant realised that I have a really good bladder and the longer he keeps me waiting I would burst and so did his magic work and then after the long wait for the 9th one I had to run down!! But this was fun.
The food here is just as good as the drinks that was served but the one issue that I found was the little that they had to offer in food. If you’re looking for a wide range of awesome food!! The Usual Place is not the place but whatever little they serve isn’t bad either. But if the management would consider some improvement to the existing place I would say they need to work on their food menu a lot.
I would rate this place a 4/5 for the good service, decent food and great drinks and for the first time ever the name!!

Australia has a worldwide reputation for its great outdoor lifestyle.Barbecues, picnics and camping trips are a great way to enjoy our perfect climate. But eating in the outdoors has risks – other than mosquitoes and ants. The food you take on picnics, barbecues and camping trips, and even to school for lunch, is kept out of its regular environment – the fridge, freezer and pantry – for longer times than the food you eat at home. This may have food safety implications.
What is different about eating in the outdoors?
- Outdoors you must rely on a cooler, such as an esky, to keep food cold. A cooler is not as effective as a fridge in keeping food cold. Food temperatures can rise to within the temperature danger zone (5°C–60°C), allowing pathogens (bacteria which cause foodborne illness) to grow.
- Many foods taken on picnics are pre-prepared, such as salads, rice dishes, quiche, and cold cooked meat dishes. These foods need to be cooked and stored properly to reduce the likelihood of food safety problems.
- Hand washing facilities may be inadequate, with no hot water or soap available.
- Safe water may be unavailable.
Tips for picnics and barbecues
- Put meat into a cooler when travelling. Meat juices can easily leak onto pre-prepared food, so put raw meat in leak proof containers. Just in case, place the meat on the bottom of the cooler away from ready-to-eat food.
- If it doesn’t affect passenger safety, travel with the cooler in the air-conditioned part of the car. If you have to put it in the boot, cover it with blankets to prevent it from warming up.
- Cut meat into serving-size pieces before leaving home and have all salads ready to eat. This reduces the need to handle food at the picnic site.
- Don’t pack food if it has just been cooked and is still warm. This includes baby formula. Coolers cannot cool food. It is best to refrigerate cooked food overnight before packing. Other perishable food and drink, such as deli products, cooked meat and dairy products must also be cold when put in the cooler.
- Always pack plenty of ice blocks, frozen bricks or gel packs around the food. Frozen drinks can serve as extra cool bricks.
- Perishables, such as salads, quiches and cold meats, should be out of the fridge or cooler for no longer than four hours (or less if you live in a hot climate). After this time they should be thrown out.
- Cooked meat can be left warm on a corner of the barbecue or covered on a plate for late arrivals. Just ensure it is protected from flies, and abide by the four-hour rule (see above).
- Disposable hand wipes or alcohol-based hand wash are an option if there is no clean water for hand washing.
- Remember to dispose of your litter responsibly.
For school lunches
- Fruit and spreads, such as vegemite and jam are fine for school lunches because they generally do not need refrigeration.
- Refrigerated foods, that are stored in a cool place and are eaten within four to five hours of preparation, are also acceptable.
- Keeping school lunches cool is easy:
- Use insulated lunch boxes or coolers.
- Freeze a drink bottle containing water, fruit juice or cordial, place in a watertight plastic bag, and include with the lunch. Or you can use a lunch box with a ‘built-in’ water bottle/freezer brick.
- If you still cannot keep the food cold, don’t include the following foods in the lunchbox: meats, including pastes (dried meat such as beef jerky is safe); seafood; cooked leftovers; soft cheeses; and other highly perishable food which you would normally keep in the fridge.
- Avoid packing perishable food that has just been cooked, such as meatloaf or boiled eggs. Such food should always be cooled in the refrigerator first.
Additional tips for camping
- When you have chosen your camping site, move your cooler from the car into the shade as soon as possible. You will need to keep moving it as the sun moves.
- Perishable food is generally unsuitable for camping excursions unless you have access to a refrigerator. It is best to carry and use dry, UHT and canned products. Pack all perishables in leak proof containers.
- It is a good idea to divide perishable food into one-meal lots and pack them in the cooler in reverse order to the order in which they will be used. This makes it easier to access what you require quickly, as the cooler should be open no longer than is absolutely necessary. Frozen meat can be kept in a cooler for two days and frozen stews for one day. They should be cooked well before eating. Never save leftovers.
- Always wash your hands before handling food, after touching raw food and after going to the toilet. At least 30 seconds washing in hot, soapy water is the recommended procedure. Use disposable wipes or alcohol-based hand wash if necessary.
- Keep utensils used for preparing raw food away from ready-to-eat food and wash them well in soapy water before using them again.
- You may need to boil drinking water or use disinfecting tablets. No matter how isolated your camping site, there is a risk of pathogens in the water.
- Keep the campsite as clean as possible. Birds and animals can be a source of food poisoning bacteria, so don’t leave food and utensils lying about.
One last reminder
- Wash hands and utensils in hot, soapy water before handling food and after touching raw food.
- Keep cold food as cold as possible in a cooler.
- Keep juices from raw meats away from ready-to-eat food to avoid cross contamination with pathogens.
- Keep hot food steaming hot. Cook meats properly and make sure any stews come to the boil.

The debate is probably still raging somewhere over Lamborghini’s latest SUV, the Urus, but regardless of your thoughts on the twin-turbocharged V8 monster, there’s no doubting its abilities are quite impressive for something of its size and weight.
More performance isn’t necessarily the first thing we’d change though, but we learned long ago that such concerns are no barrier to the tuning industry. German firm Abt Sportsline has now revealed its take on the Italo-Germanic beast, rendering it even quicker than the already rapid standard car.
Subscribe to evo magazine
From the factory the four-litre V8 in the Urus puts down 641bhp and 627lb ft of torque, but Abt’s warranted performance kit and ‘Abt Engine Control’ unit lifts these numbers to 700bhp and 671lb ft, which must surely be approaching the limits of the ZF eight-speed transmission.
Abt notes with pride that the power figure is more than twice that of the old Countach LP400S, a car considered fairly brutal in its day, though one even the Urus can’t compete with for sheer presence.
The newfound outputs don’t do anything for the top speed, which Abt claims is around the 190mph mark – as per the standard car – but it does haul the 2200kg car to 62mph from rest a couple of tenths quicker, down to 3.4sec from 3.6.
No other parts for the Urus have yet been announced – even the wheels on Abt’s demo car are as per the regular Urus – but wheels, aero parts and trim details are all sure to join the list in time. Actually, it’s somewhat refreshing that Abt has, for the time being, left the divisive styling well alone.
Pricing hasn’t been officially announced, but if you’ve got the £159,925 to set aside for the base car, an ECU-based tuning kit is unlikely to trouble your pocketbook by a great deal more.
In the meantime, those wishing for more dramatic changes to the Lamborghini’s styling can head for rival tuners such as Manhart or Mansory...

This is a guest post modified from two emails by professor of biological oceanography Peter Franks, reprinted here with his permission. Peter is a phytoplankton ecologist who studies how the physical processes in the ocean influence the growth and distribution patterns of phytoplankton, so he’s often the go-to guy on red tides. I have edited the emails slightly for clarity and context.
We’ve got a pretty spectacular red tide going in the waters off San Diego (and farther north and south). The organism is Lingulodinium polyedrum, my favorite dinoflagellate. Why favorite? Because it’s intensely bioluminescent. When jostled, each organism will give off a flash of blue light created by a chemical reaction within the cell. When billions and billions of cells are jostled – say, by a breaking wave – you get a seriously spectacular flash of light.
And the best part? The moon is in its “new” phase. That means that the bioluminescence will not be dimmed by moonlight for the next few days.
So please take the opportunity to go down to the beach tonight or tomorrow night to see one of nature’s most impressive light shows.
Or, if you’re like me (too lazy to get up after the sun goes down) get a clear drink bottle, get a friendly neighborhood surfer to fill it for you (knee-deep water is fine), and take it home. Put it in a cool, dark place – a closet or a bathroom without windows. Then, after the sun goes down go in there and let your eyes adjust to the darkness. Then give the bottle a shake – you’ll see blue sparks from the dinoflagellate’s bioluminescence. Then start experimenting: try your electric toothbrush. Or pour some on your arm, or on the countertop. Let some get sucked up into a towel. Or (this is the best) try adding vinegar. The acid makes the dinoflagellates release their bioluminescence chemicals all at once, giving a show similar to the finale of a 4th of July fireworks display. Unfortunately, like the 4th of July fireworks display, it’s terminal. That’ll be the end of the fun. Until you go and get some more red-tide water…
I’ve received a number of inquiries about the red tide. Frequently Asked Question #1 is (in a nutshell): will it [this red tide] kill me?
I know, I know. I’m as disappointed as you are. This species of dinoflagellate is not toxic. If it were, I’d have a lot more funding. It’s possible that it contains low levels of a toxin called “yessotoxin“, but this toxin is not one that’s tested for in the US (as far as I know), and there’s no records of it having any detrimental effects.

Note: Although this answer is written for testnet, it is absolutely valid for the mainnet as well. The script will be similar, just the address encoding will be different (P2PKH start with 1 vs m for testnet as we use 0x00 as prefix in address base58check in mainnet).
I tried to make transaction with Locktime on bitcoin testnet. I am not able to broadcast it.
nLocktime is specified, you cannot broadcast the transaction until that
nLocktime value is reached. In your case, when writing this answer, the testnet height was at 1567414 while
nLocktime is set as 1567415. Other than that your transaction is correct from a script point of view.
And how to use CLTV and CSV?
CLTV and CSV are script level timelocks, unlike
nSequence which are transaction and input level timelocks. CLTV or CSV are specified in the output locking script, and when spending those outputs, the user must set the
nLocktime or the
nSequence value to satisfy the locking condition.
Using your example, below will be the script for CLTV in the outputs and the hex of the outputs. The desired block height is 1567415 which is 0x17eab7 in hexadecimal and 0xb7ea17 in little-endian.
nLocktime value should be equal or greater to this number in order to spend the outputs that are locked with CLTV. So, for this transaction to go through
nLocktime value should be equal to or lower than the current block height which is equal to 0x0017eaae (1567406) or 0xaeea1700 in little-endian. However, do note that when spending this output that is locked with CLTV as an input in a transaction your
nsequence should be between 0xf0000000 to 0xfffffffe. Using 0xffffffff disables timelock.
"asm": "b7ea17 OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY OP_DROP OP_DUP OP_HASH160 083b56fb8b320a6373d4738bb81496b096e8034c OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG",
Using this output to your unsigned transaction hex, it gives the following script:
Raw transaction before signing:
CSV is a relative timelock, so the height of the blocks in relative sense is provided. For example, in your case the testnet height was at 1567406 while you wanted the transaction to be spent at height 1567415. So your relative height is 9 blocks. We are using
nLocktime for the current transaction to be the current block height which is 0xaeea1700 in little-endian.
"asm": "09 OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY OP_DROP OP_DUP OP_HASH160 083b56fb8b320a6373d4738bb81496b096e8034c OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG",
Using this output script in the unsigned transaction hex you specified gives us:
Raw transaction before signing:
When spending this CSV locked outputs, you will need to keep a few things in mind: (1)
nSequence <= 0xEFFFFFFF; (2)
nSequence's 22nd bit determines if the relative lock-time is time-based or block based. This bit should be set to 0 since your CSV is locked in blocks; (3) The value of the relative locktime, is then interpreted from the first 16 bits of the
Although I have shown the locking scripts in its raw form (using CLTV/CSV) in
scriptPubKey, it is recommended to create a P2SH locking script out of this raw script. This not only ensures that you pay lower fees for making this transaction, but also ensures your privacy (nobody will know that they transaction is timelocked) until you spend that transaction.

The student liturgy team was pleased and excited about their experience with the All Saints Vigil this past Sunday. They want to do more. There are Eucharistic Vigils, of course, connected with major liturgical feasts like Epiphany and Pentecost. Unfortunately, many of these lie within the days of academic breaks.
Our patronal feast is January 28th, and in 2011, we will bump the fourth ordinary Sunday to observe that liturgically at weekend Masses on January 29th and 30th. One opportunity for a vigil would be that Friday evening the 28th, honoring the actual day in some way.
I was wondering about letting the students loose with a “votive” vigil. Find an appropriate theme, like Holy Wisdom, and plant it in an appropriate place, like before finals week. Then see how many people show up to pray for their academic futures. Any ideas, either within the liturgical year or around a good thematic idea?

Steve Buscemi has learned not to get drunk while on location after a 1998 bar brawl in North Carolina almost cost him his life.
The actor was out drinking with "Domestic Disturbance" co-star Vince Vaughn when locals turned on the drunk stars and a nasty fight broke out.
Buscemi was left with knife wounds to the head and neck, but he isn't holding any grudges - he's blaming the whole thing on the alcohol.
He tells Playboy magazine, "Too much alcohol got consumed that night - by everybody, me included. They were local people; we were outsiders.
"I don't remember what was said or how it started. I only know that if I hadn't been drinking, I would not have gotten into any trouble.
"I had a plastic surgeon fix me up and went on from there."

I have been dying for an opportunity to show you this portrait of my lovely friend, actually he is the partner of one of my all-time-favourite people, so he has become a dear friend of mine as well. You may remember his silhouette from the Photo101 Solitude post.
Cardinal Guzman has challenged me to join in the 5-day B&W photo challenge, where I must post a black and white photo each day for 5 days and nominate someone else to join the challenge. I’d like to nominate dear Lucile de Godoy to join the challenge with me.
This photo (also as part of Photo101 Rehab) was taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 camera with a 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at f/2.8 and at 1/4000s (wow so fast) and with an ISO of 2500. So, clearly, I could have dropped the ISO and slowed down the shutter a little. Regardless, I am so happy with the results. This boy is a great subject, very photogenic. He has many voices and also many accents – he is very talented when mimicking accents from all over the world!
To join this challenge, you must post B&W photography for the next five days, and each day nominate another photographer to enter the challenge. Good luck! I’m looking forward to seeing the results!

Second match had Oregon Cricket Club up against Beaverton United. Good batting by Beaverton United specially their captain Chaitanya Deshmukh and Munish Sharma put them in a great position with 198 on the scoreboard. A good start from Jim Cleavenger and then a big partnership between Tom Ryan and Kamal Thangasara had Oregon Cricket Club close but Chaitanya stepped in and took the crucial wicket of Kamal ending the partnership. In the end Oregon Cricket Club could only put 155. Beaverton United won by 43 runs.
Here is the scoresheet.

Now That You Have Purposed in Your Heart…
You have decided against delicacies à la Daniel 1:8. You have taken the first step to reclaiming you health! In 8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind, we are going to wage war on the devil’s favorite battlefield.
At this point, you are ready for a revolution in the way you think about everything pertaining to food, health, and your appearance.
In Romans 12:2, the Lord instructs us not to conform ourselves to the world but to renew our minds.
In this scripture, the Apostle Paul is instructing the Church of Rome not to conform themselves to the way of the world they were living in, which was to reject things of God, but to transform the way Jesus translated them to His Kingdom through salvation. It was not talking about food. Food wasn’t a thing of the world at the time – it was God’s provision that no one had to think that hard about.
A New World
Things have changed. Food is a function of worldly pursuits today in a way it never has been before. The food system is now commoditized, meaning that it’s primary purpose has shifted from being a source of life and nourishment available to all to a source of great financial gain for a few at the expense of many. It has become an incestuous institution in unholy union with the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It has changed the landscape of human health and the environment worldwide in the form of epidemics and unprecedented disastrous circumstances. This is why we now need to apply this instruction to food.
The language we use to talk about food shapes all of our daily choices, which either finance this system in favor of the enemy or finance change for the better. Our food choices either prove that what the enemy has established can reign or they prove that perfect will of God. His will for us is long, abundant, healthy life. Let’s look at some of the ways we can renew our minds to that end.
8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind By Changing Your Language
I recently taught my daughter Ché not to say of any unhealthy things that they are “good”. What God said is good when He created the world in Genesis 1, none of the stuff that tries to masquerade as food these days qualifies for inclusion in that proclamation.
Further, many of us still hold on to the perceived “goodness” of such faux food, like some kind of cherished sin that we might allow ourselves to indulge in as a “treat”. If we have purposed in our hearts not to defile our bodies, our temples of the Holy Spirit, then we cannot continue to be double minded about those “foods” that pollute us inside.
I’ve trained myself and my children to eschew those things. Like “cookies, bad, ewwwww!! All that nasty sugar in there!” Over time you will be like the ex-smoker who is disgusted by the sight and smell of a cigarette: truly liberated and loving it!
The word meat originally referred to all food, any food, as in Genesis 1:29 in the KJV. It’s only in recent history we started to use it to refer exclusively to animal flesh. In Malachi instructed the Levite priests to bring all the tithes to the storehouse so there is meat in His house. in 1 Corinthians 3:2 Paul talked about first giving the parishioners milk then weaning them onto meat. In both of these scriptures, meat was a general term for that which nourishes. The point is that nourishment can be complete without animal flesh.
We have come to believe that animal-based foods are the best source of protein. We use the words “meat” (in the sense that indicates animal flesh) and “protein” interchangeably. This is a lie designed to keep us buying and consuming way more beef, poultry, pork and dairy industry products than we need for good health. In fact, many reputable studies have shown that at our level of consumption we put ourselves at greater risk cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other metabolic and autoimmune diseases than our counterparts in the world who eat very little of these (like 6-8 ounces a week if at all).
Having said all that, food is God’s creation. As such, our attempt to dissect it and distill it down to molecule parts to understand it is sheer hubris. Food is much too complex for that. There are so many other important vitamins, minerals and properties in each individual food. On top of that, we will never be able to truly understand how they all interact with each other in that food item, and how the combinations of foods that we eat interact with each other. We just need to stop and get back to basics. Focusing on just one food component is a tool of the enemy.
Our customary daily menu of milk/eggs/cheese every morning, meat and cheese at lunch, 6-8 ounces of meat at dinner and more than 50 grams of added sugar daily is actually over-consumption. It seems normal because that’s how everyone around you seems to be eating. TV families mimic and reinforce this notion, but here at 8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind, we are going to shed some light.
God set’s many limitations in the book of Leviticus on what animals we should eat. Interestingly, he didn’t limit how much we should eat. When you consider that in those days, the average person only ate animal based foods or any kind of sweet baked goods at annual festivals, you see that He didn’t have to set limits. Only the most wealthy, mostly royalty, could eat those things frequently. There was no refrigeration for the rest of us to keep cut up carcasses, even if we could afford it. Notice that later on in the bible there are many cautions against gluttony being deceived into thinking delicacies are good to eat every day. We will cover a little later in this series.
8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind Nugget#1 Did you know that there’s a difference between animal protein and plant protein?
People in poorer countries consume less animal based foods because they can’t buy them regularly, but as a result, they don’t suffer from the diseases we have here. When they do have adequate food that’s plant-based, they don’t suffer from food-related diseases. Plant protein is the hero there. It provides the same service as animal protein, but without the nasty side effects. This is a concept in which we can find real freedom in the renewing of our minds and lower grocery bills as well!
8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind Presents: Complete Protein, No Animals Harmed
In Ezekiel 4, God gives his prophet a bread recipe to sustain him through a rather difficult prophetic assignment. It is a six grain bread – wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt (verse 9). I learned from my kidney donor team nutritionist in a conversation completely unrelated to this scripture that the combination of beans and grains forms a complete protein. Microphone drop.
8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind Nugget#2 Slim People Need This Too!
Here’s an interesting topic that gets overlooked a lot these days. There are many obese and overweight people who should be concerned about their health, but there are also many slim people who are left wondering how to put on and keep on healthy weight during a food life changeover. The first thing I counsel to my slim friend is this: you’re not too skinny, God does not make garbage, people’s eyes are just fat!
One third of all Americans is obese and at least 2/3 are at least overweight. In response, the media casts overweight actors on TV an in film, glorifying pleasant plumpness to show sensitivity to these numbers. As a result, we have all now been subjected to a shift in the perception of what a “normal” body size is. And now those of us who are naturally slender are told we are too skinny. We need to renew our minds.
The truth it is indeed possible to have the same metabolic problems and disease risk of an obese person while being skinny. It’s a phenomenon called “skinny-fat”. Feel free to look it up.
To answer the question, nonetheless, the simple answer is to skew your new food choices to more calorie dense but still nutritious foods. We will address this in depth in another article.
8 Day Really Nourish Yourself Devo Day 2: Renew Your Mind Nugget#3 The Source of The Messages Shapes Your Mind
There are a whole lot of ways to renew our minds to help our bodies, these are just a few. The important thing is that you make it your business to scrutinize all the messages you get for
- Biblical accuracy and
- The motive of the source.
Once you figure out where the message is coming from and whether it lines up with God’s word and His will for you, you can get into obedience and see your victory!
Renew your mind. Your body will thank you for it!

There is a lot of sadness in a small town in Minnesota after the shooting of two teen-agers on Thursday. Thanksgiving must have been awful for all of the people involved. I can relate. I have been waiting for the press conference about this gruesome shooting that took place in Little Falls, Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day. On the face of it, one could think it was a self defense shooting. But more details were coming and today they were released. From the article:
Indeed. Some people are quick to shoot when it's not necessary. Yes, these two young people broke into Smith's house. They shouldn't have. They both appeared to have some other problems in their lives and one wonders what they were doing out on Thanksgiving Day breaking into this man's home. From another article:"According to the complaint, Smith told investigators:He heard glass breaking around noon Thursday while he was in the basement. It was the latest of several break-ins that he's experienced. Brady started coming down the stairs, and Smith shot him with a rifle by the time he saw the intruder's hips.Brady fell down the stairs and was looking up at Smith when the homeowner shot him in the face."I want him dead," Smith explained to the investigator for the additional shot.Smith put Brady's body on a tarp and dragged him to an office workshop.A few minutes later, Smith heard footsteps above him. As in Brady's case, Kifer too started down the stairs and was shot by Smith by the time he saw her hips, sending her tumbling down the stairs.Smith attempted to shoot her again, but his rifle jammed, prompting Kifer to laugh.Upset, Smith, pulled out a revolver he had on him and shot her "more times than I needed to" in the chest, he said.Smith dragged Kifer next to Brady as she gasped for her life. He pressed the revolver's barrel under her chin and pulled the trigger in what he described as a "good, clean finishing shot" that was meant to end her suffering.Smith acknowledged leaving the bodies in his home overnight before calling a neighbor to ask about a lawyer and to request that authorities be notified.Tessa Ruth, an aunt of Brady, was at the hearing and said she wished Smith had fired a warning shot or called police instead of shooting. "It wasn't right for them to be there and, yes, he had a right to defend himself. But to execute them like that...""
So it was known that Smith had guns and other things of value in the home that had been previously stolen. I have written about stolen guns a few posts ago. At least this last burglary was reported by Smith to law enforcement as it should have been. But if he chose to live in this secluded area and had had previous break-ins, wouldn't you think a security system would be a good idea? And further, do people like this who are so paranoid about the world around them sit around in their homes with their shotguns and handguns at the ready just in case? And even if they do, how about a warning shot, as was suggested, or holding the teens at gun point while calling law enforcement? Did this man truly think this was a self defense shooting? Does anybody? Raise your hand if you think it is ( and don't send me your comments saying you would have done the same thing- they will be unwelcome). Luckily for the families of the victims, the Shoot First law did not pass in Minnesota or the man could have tried using it to keep himself from being charged for murder.The brother said this was the latest of eight burglaries within the last few years, with the most recent on Oct. 27, when about $10,000 worth of guns, electronic gear and cash were stolen after thieves broke out a panel in a lower-level door. He said not all the burglaries were reported but that the one last month was reported to the Morrison County Sheriff's Office.Loved ones of the two teens, as well as authorities, say the shootings went beyond self-defense. Neighbors described Byron Smith as a loner who liked to shoot his guns often, intimidating and worrying nearby residents.Shaeffel said investigators told her that Brady had been shot in the shoulder and head, and that then Kifer was shot.She said her brother made good money working for their father's tree-trimming business and didn't have to resort to burglary.She said that Kifer had been in treatment more than once for abuse of controlled substances, and speculated that her cousin might have been after pills. Kifer had recently returned to school and had been trying to straighten out her life, Shaeffel said, adding that Kifer had stolen Adderall pills from Shaeffel's home."Yes, she had an addiction problem and stuff, but that doesn't mean she deserves to get murdered at 18 years old," Shaeffel said. "I understand they came there to rob them, or whatever, but shoot them in the shoulder and call the cops."Shaeffel, 27, lives near the Smith house and went there Sunday with her close friend, Tiffany Kostohryz."I just wanted to see," Shaeffel said, looking toward the garage. The red-brick house with peeling paint is tucked out of view from the road.Smith's neighbor Lori Williams said she had complained to authorities about the frequent shooting on Smith's property, worrying that children playing outside could be hurt. But deputies had told her and her husband that nothing could be done because his property was outside city limits, the couple said.They described Smith as an odd man who kept to himself. "He didn't say 'boo,'" Scott Williams said.
There are many more unanswered questions that will surely come out later. For now, though, this was a brutal execution style shooting committed by an apparent law abiding gun owner. This case is very painful for me to read about because it is quite reminiscent of my own sister's murder. Her body was found in my ex, and now dead, brother-in-law's basement and was not reported until the next day. Her friend's body was found in the upstairs with evidence of a chase leaving blood drop all around the house. Both bodies were shot more times than was necessary to kill them. My brother-in-law sat in his house for a day before reporting that he had shot 2 people and then not to law enforcement but to his divorce lawyer. What in the world happens to people in these situations?
Guns make these kind of incidents very possible and they happen far too often. As long as we just shrug our shoulders and say we can't do anything, then we won't. We have a gun culture that encourages too many people to have too many guns in too many places. This sort of laissez faire attitude leads to people thinking they can do anything they want in anger or in depression or after consuming too much alcohol or when abusing a spouse or partner. These are not criminals. These are law abiding gun owners who sometimes have problems of their own but are not prohibited purchasers. If we, as a country, would have a serious discussion about the role guns play in our every day lives and then pass some common sense laws that would send a message that guns and ammunition will not be available to just anybody and that access to guns by people who shouldn't have them will be illegal, we might make a chink in the armor of the NRA's crazy world where guns are the answer to everything. Other countries have figured this out. It's our turn to be better than this. It's time to demand a plan and deal as adults with the daily carnage. Like the "Little Engine That Could", I think we can do this.
As if the above brutal shooting was not enough, though, there were quite a few other holiday week-end shootings which I will not list in its' entirety. But here a few more that have come to my attention:
- There was a shooting in a Colorado 7-11 store parking lot. Interestingly, one of my readers wondered if there were just as many shootings at, say, 7-11 stores as there have been at Walmart stores. Here is one. I'm sure there are others. It's just that Walmart is leading the list right now for the most shooting and gun incidents- not something of which to be proud.
- Two motel shootings in Texas within the same number of days. Really. It's true. Here's one of them where one was killed and another injured. This one, also in Dallas, was a triple murder with bodies found in a motel room not far from the scene of the other shooting. Hey, it's Texas where gun laws are loose and shootings are frequent.
- Two dead and 8 wounded in holiday shootings in the Philadelphia area.
- Check out the Kid Shootings blog for the numerous incidents of shootings involving kids in the past week or so. It's enough to make a grown man cry. What are we going to do about this national public health and safety problem? There are young kids with access to guns shooting siblings; there are innocent teens shot while being outside or at parties. One boy was shot at a gun range. One boy shot himself in the face. Really folks. These are real people doing stupid and dangerous things with guns. Most of them are totally avoidable and all are senseless.
Lives depend on our doing the right thing in the name of the victims of gun violence.
As I thought, new information will keep coming forth about this case. Read this latest addition to the Star Tribune article to which I linked above:
This bears repeating: ""..it was Thanksgiving. He didn't want to trouble us on a holiday."" Really Mr. Smith? Are you kidding? Mr. Smith is in big trouble. Anybody who sits around in his house with two dead bodies without reporting the killings has something sinister on his mind. Like maybe, what story he could devise concerning why he had just murdered two teen agers. And further, why did he not report this directly to law enforcement? He went to a neighbor instead? My brother-in-law reported that he had murdered two people to his divorce lawyer. Yes, really. And that was after sitting in his house over night with two dead bodies. Some people should not have access to guns. Too many people are shot to death by people like these guys.Smith appeared for a 10-minute court hearing late Monday morning wearing an orange jumpsuit, his hands and feet in shackles. Bail was set at $2 million, with the prosecution noting the defendant's extensive travels to Beijing, Bangkok, Moscow and elsewhere overseas while he was working for the U.S. State Department.In asking for the high bail figure, County Attorney Brian Middendorf said the incident was a case of cold-blooded murder. "The circumstances are appalling and far beyond any self-defense claim," he said.Sheriff Michel Wetzel told reporters Monday afternoon that Smith explained to authorities that he didn't call immediately after killing the two because "it was Thanksgiving. He didn't want to trouble us on a holiday."As for whether Smith could be justified in shooting intruders, Wetzel said that a citizen does have to right to protect person or property, but it has to be reasonable.What Smith did "went further than the law. It doesn't permit you to execute once the threat is gone."
With every article, some new information comes out about the Minnesota shooting. Here is the latest one from the Duluth News Tribune:
Is that true? Do people laugh when they get shot? And does that make a shooter more angry so they need to finish them off? This is one sick and twisted man. And more from the article:Though Kifer was "already hurting," she let out a short laugh, Smith told investigators. He then pulled out his .22-caliber revolver and shot her several times in the chest, according to the complaint."If you're trying to shoot somebody and they laugh at you, you go again," Smith told investigators, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday.
Minnesota law allows a homeowner to use deadly force on an intruder if a reasonable person would fear they're in danger of harm, and Smith told investigators he was afraid the intruders might have a weapon. However, Smith's actions weren't justified, Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel said.
"The law doesn't permit you to execute somebody once a threat is gone," he said.
Here is yet another article about this story. From the article:
I continue to be amazed at the audacity of some who love to go after victims. Why do people have to slander victims? These teens allegedly did something wrong but now they are dead. This is a tactic of the extreme gun nuts and happens frequently. As long as that continues, there is little hope for any serious discussion about gun violence issues. These folks are in the minority but they give a bad name to the pro gun rights folks."The fact of the matter is, if people have all of the facts, they would not be quite so divided in their opinions," he told The Associated Press, noting that many details have not been made public. "It's not as controversial or as unclear an issue as people might think at first blush."Smith, a retired U.S. State Department employee, was charged Monday with two counts of murder in the deaths of 18-year-old Haile Kifer and her cousin, 17-year-old Nicholas Brady. According to the criminal complaint, Smith shot the teens multiple times as they tried to burglarize his house, which he said had been broken into before.Minnesota law gives homeowners the right to protect themselves and their property, but Wetzel said they don't have the right to execute an intruder once the threat is neutralized.According to the complaint, Smith told authorities he was fearful after several break-ins at his home in the town of about 8,000 people. The complaint said he told authorities that he was in his basement on Thanksgiving Day when he heard a window break upstairs. When he saw Brady on the basement stairwell, he fired — then shot him again in the face after he fell down.The complaint said Smith told an investigator: "I want him dead."Smith said he dragged Brady's body into his workshop. When Kifer came down the stairs, he shot her multiple times as well, and dragged her into the room with Brady. She was still gasping for air, so he fired what he called a "good clean finishing shot" under her chin "up into the cranium," the complaint said.And then police weren't called until the next day.John Lange defended Smith, whom he called his best friend, saying that even after reading the details of the complaint, he didn't feel Smith should be in jail."You have a right to defend your home," Lange said. "He's been through hell."Little Falls resident Liberty Nunn, who said she knew Nicholas Brady's older sister, said Smith could have simply shouted at them to stop. She said she hopes Smith goes to prison "for a very, very long time.""Those are two young lives that were taken," she said. "It's just not right."Some went to social media to express opinions, including Facebook pages set up to support the victims' family that also attracted comments slandering the victims. The creators of the pages did not return messages seeking comment.Family members of the victims also did not return messages.Morrison County Attorney Brian Middendorf's office said he would have no comment Tuesday. On Monday, he acknowledged the case could create controversy."I would ask that people not rush to judgment," he said. "Let the investigation continue. Let all the facts come out in court."State Rep. Tony Cornish, a former police officer who sponsored a bill last year that would have expanded circumstances in which people could use deadly force, said he believes Smith would have had a legitimate defense if he would've stopped firing after his first shot."After that first shot, when it turned into a grisly execution, he lost any hope he had of not being prosecuted," Cornish said. "He lost all my support."Rich Collins, a Morrison County commissioner, said that as a National Rifle Association instructor for basic home protection, he is a firm believer that everyone has a right to protect their property — but that they must also make attempts to retreat and call law enforcement."These young kids should not have been in this guy's house. That's a given. Nobody can deny that," Collins said. "Did he have the right to shoot them? Yes he did. ... But in the manner in which he used that right, I think, was excessive."
From another article about the teens allegedly breaking into another home:
Investigators were working late Tuesday to determine whether the two teenage cousins slain during a home burglary in Little Falls, Minn., on Thanksgiving Day committed a similar crime just hours before the fatal shootings.Preliminary findings suggest that Nick Brady, 17, and Haile Kifer, 18, were involved in another break-in Wednesday night, 6 miles south of the home where Byron Smith claims he shot them in self-defense, said Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel. Smith, 64, a retired U.S. State Department worker, is charged with second-degree murder in the double shooting, which Wetzel has characterized as "cold-blooded" executions carried out after the teens were disabled by initial shots.In the latest development, investigators are piecing together evidence recovered from a red Mitsubishi Eclipse that Brady had been driving, and which was discovered Friday parked a block away and around the corner from Smith's property, 3 miles north of Little Falls.That same car was seen in a driveway last Wednesday evening 3 miles south of Little Falls, in the vicinity of a house belonging to Richard L. Johnson, a retired Little Falls High School teacher who had been in Spain until Sunday evening.Wetzel confirmed that deputies who had been called to the Johnson neighborhood about the car identified it as one used by Brady, but not registered to him.The sheriff also said that Brady had walked up to the car, was questioned by the deputies and released. The burglary at Johnson's home was at that time undiscovered, he said.
Here is a great column from Minnesota columnist Nick Coleman about the Little Falls shooting:
Thank you Nick Coleman.
It now turns out that the shooter of the Little Falls teens wants first degree murder charges dropped:
Where is common sense?An attorney for a Little Falls man accused of killing two teenagers who broke into his home is trying to get first-degree murder charges dismissed.The Associated Press reports that at a hearing Friday in Morrison County District Court, a lawyer for Byron Smith, 56, questioned investigators about what they did after the November deaths of 17-year-old Nicholas Brady and 18-year-old Haile Kifer.Judge Douglas Anderson will give attorneys until November to file written arguments, then he will make his decision on whether the charges should be dismissed, reports the Pioneer Press.Smith’s attorney says there is no enough evidence for the indictment. Steven Meshbesher also argued that prosecutors committed misconduct during grand jury proceedings and that there were other flaws in the case.Meshbesher also wants evidence obtained during searches of Smith’s house to be suppressed, the St. Cloud Times reported.Smith has been free since posting $50,000 conditional bail after he was initially charged with second-degree murder. A grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder charges.Prosecutors say Smith shot Brady and Kifer multiple times after they broke into his home last November. His attorneys have claimed he acted in self-defense.The shooting kindled much debate about how much force homeowners can use when protecting property, particularly during home invasions.

When AYS began its involvement at Clarence Farrington School 61, it became clear that the needs of the school aligned well with what the Pacers Foundation supports. According to their website, “The Foundation awards grants and contributions to Indiana-based nonprofit organization… with a particular emphasis on education activities/programs.” The grant purchased new art supplies, physical activity equipment and storage for the equipment for the AYS program at Clarence Farrington School. In addition, the grant supported AYS’ partnership with Peace Learning Center and Arts for Learning to visit the program and provide activities for the children. The Peace Learning Center focused on teaching the children about social emotional learning, and even held training for AYS staff in restorative practice and restorative justice. Arts for Learning led the children in dance sessions and music demos, to teach collaboration while also encouraging creativity. According to AYS’ Associate Director of Program Services and Enrichment Keith Monfreda, “The kids have to learn how to work together.”
When Whitney Smith took on the role of AYS program director at this site, she created Family Nights to engage the parents along with the children. These Family Nights were created to draw in kids and their parents. By providing dinner, the stress of making a meal is off the parents’ shoulders, and it also provides a social space for them to interact with their children, the families of their child’s friends, and those who care for their children outside of the school day. The nights are focused on fun, and fun for the whole family. Monfreda states, “A lot of parents show up because they want to be involved.” The effects of these programs are easy to see, simply in the attendance at family nights, or the behavior of the children.
At Clarence Farrington, the school staff is also asked to check in on the students, specifically in how they behave in and outside of the classroom. Things like ability to solve conflict respectfully, or the self-sufficiency of a student and whether or not he asks for help on homework frequently, or solves the problem himself. Each student’s progress is tracked by those who look out for them every day and the effects and teachings of the programs provided by Arts for Learning and Peace Learning Center.
Through opportunities like the Pacers Foundation grant, AYS is able to enrich the lives of children in our locations across central Indiana, not just in academics, but in arts and emotional development as well.

The time has come to close one of the most exciting and memorable chapters in my life. Traveling through Central America, (a journey I didn’t think would ever happen) allowed me the opportunity to grow and open my heart in ways I never thought possible. One of the most important lessons on this trip, as cliche as it may sound, was learning to let go. Releasing. Whether a person, thing(s) or emotion. And I had to let go of all three. You can imagine how many times I’ve sang the song “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen to myself.
Somewhere along the way I read, that to love and let go can be the same thing. And letting go means diving in. But if your love has attachment, discrimination, prejudice or clinging in it, it is not true love. Ex squeeze me? Wherever it is I was supposed to be diving into with letting go, I should back away right now! It sounds way too complicated. It’s much easier to just attach yourself and cling to the idea of love. Isn’t that what we’re conditioned to do? Connect ourselves to someone. Partner, parent, friend. Looking for some sort of indication that we too are loved.
I wondered. What exactly is love? And how can it be the same as letting go? Love by definition is an intense feeling of deep affection. Mmm.. it sure feels to be more than that. I decided to explore this more.
A lot of movies, songs, art and poems talk about love as a need for possessing. As if by not having it you can’t survive. Or that by admitting to love someone you admit to having a lot to lose (as one TedTalk speaker noted). I disagree. It is the complete opposite for me. By admitting you love someone knowing you may have to let them go someday, helps you obtain an unrestricted freedom. Don’t you see. By knowing and accepting that that person may not be with you tomorrow. Allows you to cherish every moment even more. You possess nothing, and gain everything.
That’s not to say letting go can’t be a sorrowful experience. Because it is and it hurts for a bit. The first time I realized the difference between attachment and non attachment. Was the first time I decided to trust someone with my whole self, the good and the bad. Allowing them in, through the process of losing everything I owned and other very emotional moments. In addition to letting them go as well. After many cookies later, ok and pie. Maybe some ice cream too. I realized that it’s not how much you trust the other person with your love. But how much you trust yourself to love unconditionally. Letting go of every attachment, discrimination, prejudice or clinging you may have for others or oneself.
Love is not just a deep affection. It is a limitless connection to and complete acceptance of myself and others. A boundless reserve of empathy. Expanding with every new experience. I now close this chapter and eagerly await the beginning of the next. The adventure continues.

Reviewing is one of the tasks related to the ‘service’ side for those of us in academic positions. The task of reviewing typically entails reading a manuscript sent by an editor from a journal, providing written comments to the author (and editors should that be necessary), and submitting a recommendation to the editor/s. For manuscripts submitted to journals, the reviewer typically provides a recommendation for publication to the editor/s — ranging from “accept” through “revise and resubmit” to “reject.” Reviewing takes in the work of writing recommendations related to research proposals for funding, providing comments to publishing houses on book prospectuses and manuscripts, and submitting recommendations for whether abstracts and proposals for conference presentations should be accepted.
Reviewing is an important task in academic work, since it allows scholars to provide critique and recommendations on others’ research studies, findings, and proposals for future research. What does critique consist of? Typically scholars are called upon to critique one another’s work in ways that:
- Contribute to the quality of the work (e.g., through recommendations to authors to consider ideas from other streams of literature, or strengthen arguments via inclusion of further evidence etc.)
- Pose questions of authors to prompt consideration of counter-arguments (e.g., providing alternative interpretations of data presented)
- Prompt consideration concerning how the research design and methods used are consistent with the research questions posed and the evidence presented.
High ethical standards are crucial if the peer-review system is to work well. That means that reviewers should never share unpublished manuscripts with other readers, or use ideas from manuscripts without permission from the author. If there are conflicts of interest, reviewers should report these to the editor/s, so that the manuscript can be re-assigned to another reviewer. When might a conflict of interest occur? Potential conflicts occur when an author recognizes the author of a “blind” manuscript. In some instances, this might lead to a scenario when a reviewer does not fairly review the ideas of another scholar. Since some journals seek recommendations for reviewers from authors when manuscripts are submitted, there have also been cases in which authors have submitted phony details for reviewers – and reviewed their own manuscript (positively!). This is research misconduct, and in instances where this has been found to have occurred, manuscripts have been withdrawn.
While many journals operate on a system of “double-blind peer review” – in which scholars submit a manuscript that is anonymized, and reviewers anonymously provide commentary and recommendations, some journals allow reviewers to see the authors of the manuscript (while reviewers remain anonymous). With open access publishing – in which journals provide open access via the world wide web to any reader, some academic portals and bibliographic tools such as ResearchGate and Mendeley allow scholars to post manuscripts that are in process to allow for feedback from others – who would not be anonymous. Clearly, the norms for peer review are rapidly changing with new tools and technologies. For those new to the process of peer reviewing, here are a few ideas for getting started.
Receiving an invitation to review
When a scholar receives the initial invitation to review a manuscript the title and abstract are provided. Be sure to read the abstract. Does it match your areas of knowledge and expertise? If not, then perhaps the invitation to review should be declined, so the review can be completed by someone knowledgeable in the area. Do be polite and respond to the invitation. If you know that you cannot complete a review in a timely way – let the editor know so they can locate another reviewer. Editors also appreciate suggestions for other reviewers should a scholar invited to complete a review decline.
A first reading
Take time to do a careful first reading of a manuscript, all the while considering the kinds of manuscripts called for in the description of the scope of the journal. This information is found on the journal’s web-site. I typically take rough notes throughout a manuscript that I review. These may be comments about ideas and questions I have about the topics presented. Questions to consider include:
- Is the literature review thorough, informative and well organized?
- Have authors defined the terms and concepts used?
- Are theoretical perspectives explained?
- Are the research design and methods sufficiently detailed?
- Is the author’s argument logical and are findings well supported?
- Is the manuscript accurately formatted to the journal’s specifications?
- Does the argument contribute to the scholarly literature in an area?
- Is the manuscript a good “fit” for the journal?
Since approaches to qualitative methods are many and varied, the questions listed above are not exhaustive – and will likely differ depending on the journal and approach taken in a particular manuscript. I typically leave the manuscript for a day or two to allow time to think further about the ideas presented. This allows time to come back and add to initial thoughts.
Writing a review
I then reconsider the manuscript, re-reading sections I have marked. There is no one way to write a review. I usually start by providing an opening paragraph that collects the main ideas I hope to convey (e.g., overall impressions, strengths and weaknesses and so on), before providing more detailed comments and suggestions that extrapolate on the main points outlined in the opening. Be sure to comment on the writing, rather than the author. For example, it is not appropriate to be uncivil or critique the author. For example, Robert J. Sternberg, a psychologist and psychometrician, while president of the American Psychological Association wrote an editorial in 2003 in which he implored reviewers “to be civil”. He provided an example from the review of an article he had submitted in which the referee suggested that he find another line of work consistent with his limited level of mental abilities (!). These types of comments are never appropriate. In providing suggestions to other authors, care needs to be taken to formulate ideas in respectful ways. Further, in some ways, reviewing is pedagogical work — in that reviewers are in a position in which they can educate others about particular approaches to research or substantive areas, and help scholars to improve their writing and research.
Making a recommendation
For me, this is always the most challenging part of writing a review. Here, the reviewer must make a decision on recommending the article for publication to the editor. This should be directly related to the evidence provided in the review. These recommendations are advisory and editors may decide not to follow this recommendation, based on other reviews received.
Finally, it helps the review process, and editors if reviewing assignments are completed by the due date.
Since reviewing is a task that will not lead to another publication or contribute to an ongoing research study, and also takes a considerable amount of time when taken seriously, why do it?
Giving back. Reviewing is a way for scholars to give back to the field in which they situate their own work. In my own work, I’ve benefited from the generous reviews of other scholars who took the time to read my work and offer suggestions for improvement. I’ve found suggestions from reviewers concerning other literature to read has contributed enormously to my own work. By taking time to review others’ work, I’m able in a small way to ‘pay it forward’ to other scholars. And it’s always exciting to see when these articles are published.
Learning about substantive topics. Reading about others’ research provides insight into what others are scholars are doing, as well as new ideas and innovations in the field. This can be helpful in one’s research and teaching. As scholars gain expertise in a particular area, they will likely be asked more frequently to review articles concerning particular topics (and of course, may have to decline some of those invitations in the interests of time!).
Locating other resources
Many publishing houses provide guidelines to authors on how to review. For example, see
And of course, articles have been published on the peer review process. Here are two:
Rojewski, J. W., & Domenico, D. M. (2004). The art and politics of peer review. Journal of Career and Technical Education, 20(2), 41-54.
Lovejoy, T. I., Revenson, T. A., & France, C. R. (2011). Reviewing Manuscripts for Peer-Review Journals: A Primer for Novice and Seasoned Reviewers. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 42(1), 1-13. doi: 10.1007/s12160-011-9269-x
I hope you too are able to take the time to enjoy the work of reviewing.

Los Angeles commercial and residential architect Dan Brunn has had a banner year. The recipient of multiple awards, including an honor for Interior Design’s Best of the Year, Brunn’s work is garnering industry accolades. With a successful 2017 coming to an end, he’s facing his biggest challenge to date: Designing and building his own green home.
Brunn’s home is called Bridge House. It’s a unique 4,500-square foot rectangular structure that stretches over a creek in Los Angeles’s historic Hancock Park. “The build is adventurous and that’s exciting, but it’s my own house, so I have more time to question everything,” Brunn said. Currently, the support structures are in place, and when complete, the house will scale the creek effortlessly, as if it were part of the landscape.
In line with the California Residential Zero Net Energy Target of 2020, Bridge House is also designed to be net-zero, producing as much energy as it consumes. The home will achieve net-zero status using a 10-kilowatt (kW) SunPower Equinox™ solar system, sporting SunPower® Signature Black panels. SunPower has partnered with Brunn by providing the Bridge House solar system at no cost to showcase green home building practices and eco friendly living. (Check out this recent Dwell article about the project.)
“One of the best net-zero features of Bridge House has been its long rooftop,” Brunn said. “We’ve been able to fill it up with high efficiency SunPower solar panels to cover the home’s energy use.”
Bridge House will be Brunn’s first solar home. He plans to use it as his primary residence and as a showcase for his business and all of the sustainable products he’s using to build it.
SunPower and Bridge House Share Minimalist Design Aesthetics
Because its components are hidden, SunPower panels rest seamlessly on any rooftop, a feature that supports Brunn’s minimalist aesthetic.
“One of the biggest reasons I chose SunPower was because of design. It’s the simplest, cleanest home solar out there,” Brunn said.
Brunn ascribes to a design philosophy he calls “purposeful modernism.” He aspires to design buildings and homes where nothing can be removed because everything has a purpose. “You don’t see the mechanics of an iPad, so why should our homes be any different?” Brunn said. Step inside a Brunn home, such as “Hide Out” or “Flip Flop,” and you’ll notice the absence of hardware and other mechanical technologies. In their place, you’ll find the smooth surfaces and clean lines that define minimal modernism.
Brunn’s design philosophy resonates with SunPower’s, and it’s through similar guiding principles that the SunPower Equinox solar system was developed and launched almost two years ago. It’s by design that the panels have backside microinverters, that the wiring is hidden within the installation, and that the panels fit perfectly in our proprietary InvisiMount® Racking System. With SunPower Equinox, only the surface of the panels is visible and with precision mounting, they look like they’re floating on the roof.
A SunPower Equinox system is just one of Bridge House’s many complementary and eco-friendly features.
Part residence and part product showroom for Brunn’s architecture business, the home will showcase many other green building technologies. It’s being built using BONE Structure® an innovative steel framing technology specifically designed for net-zero efficiency. It will also be outfitted with high efficiency, fully connected Bosch home appliances, from its water heater, to its kitchen stove and even its surveillance system. And with a rooftop SunPower Equinox solar system, all of these electric appliances will be powered with electricity made from the sun.
“Many of the partners and I are charting new ground with Bridge House, and in the end, we get to show our clients the potential of a net-zero energy build,” Brunn said. At the center of the project is Modaa Construction, a local company bringing everything together from materials to permits. “Modaa has done an amazing job of mastering all the new technology we’re using and keeping this adventurous build on track.”
Construction of Bridge House is slated for completion in August 2018. In the meantime, Brunn has his hands full with the day-to-day business of building his home and running his business. Even so, he still finds time to envision the future of our homes and cities.
“I imagine a future of smaller, efficient homes with more land for people to enjoy and retail stores built for hospitality rather than transactions,” Brunn said. If Bridge House is any indication of what’s to come from Brunn and other forerunners of modern architecture, the future looks beautifully efficient, innovative and sustainable.
SunPower will chronicle Dan Brunn’s journey as a solar homeowner on our blog and social media channels. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for photos and videos of this innovative home building project. Follow the Bridge House LA and DBArchitecture on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes stories.

Summer Sowing Guide
People often ask us what they should be sowing from June on through the summer.
So, we've tried to list here the main things that we'll be sowing from
into the autumn for a good supply of vegetables right through the winter and into next spring.
Looking after summer sowings
Earlier in summer you will need to make sure that you keep seedlings watered in dry periods. Keep them damp and you'll generally find that June & July sowings get going really fast with the long - and hopefully warm - summer days.
Keep sowing in late summer and autumn, most of these veggies will grow outdoors quite happily outside in most of the country even as the weather turns colder. Any protection you can offer will help for later sowings as autumn comes on - mini plastic and fleece tunnels are an easy modern alternative to traditional cloches. Often just keeping cold winds off your plants is all that is needed to give you a really successful crop.
If you are lucky enough to have a greenhouse or polytunnel, don't let it stand empty once your summer crops are out. Think about bringing on baby plants in modules or outdoor seedbeds to transplant undercover as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers finish cropping. In a tunnel/greenhouse you can sow (and harvest) salads and greens throughout the year.
Salads and greens
Keep on successional sowing summer lettuce varieties in July - August to give you a wide range of salads in Autumn.
Winter lettuce are particularly cold-hardy, selected for sowing after mid-summer, for harvest in autumn - and with a bit of protection, on into winter. Ideal if you have a polytunnel and want winter salads - or outdoors under a cloche or mini-tunnel. Try Winter Marvel which can be sown right through into November and then again from late January.
Sow our quick heading broccoli outdoors in midsummer for autumn harvest, or as long as the winter is not too severe, it can be sown in late August or September in an unheated greenhouse or polytunnel, to give you a very early crop at the start of the following year.
Broccoli raab or 'rapini'
Broccoli Raab is related to turnip - but is grown like broccoli & produces delicious sprouts like a slightly spicy flavoured sprouting broccoli.
Thinnings are also excellent in salads or stirfries. Sow mid to late summer for harvest just 40 days later - so great in late summer & autumn when ordinary broccoli isn't available.
Sow spring cabbage in late August or September, and you'll get nice fresh cabbage very early the following spring.
Oriental greens - milder
greens for salads, or tasty mustard
There are a whole range of remarkably cold hardy oriental greens. They are ideal to keep your plot going through the depths of winter, particularly jf you don't have the space or time for traditional winter veg like brussels.
Many are good both in salads and cooked - try Pak Choi, Mizuna, Chinese Cabbage, Mibuna, Tatsoi and Mispoona, all of which can be sown from the end of June through to end September (you can keep on sowing through into the winter if you have a polytunnel or greenhouse)
Mustard greens are even more hardy than the milder greens - which means that they will keep on growing new leaves even in the worst of weather. Raw they are spicy - so although its nice to put small quantities raw in salads, they're mostly used cooked. When you cook them the heat disappears, leaving a rich, full flavour, with just a little spicy zing. They are especially useful because they grow so well in cooler weather.
Salad onions are MUCH easier to grow from seed than normal onions. They're really quick and useful, providing lots of greenstuff early in the spring gap when there's not much else available. Sow them after midsummer for a winter/spring crop
Kales are great for baby leaves (salads & cooked) in autumn, and then left to overwinter for delicious greens through to the following April.
You can sow kale 2 ways:
1) in autumn in a tunnel - for tender baby leaves. We particularly recommend Nero de Toscana for this use, although all the kales will do well.
2) outdoors before early August - for hardy overwintering plants. Try Red Ursa for a very good hardy variety that also makes delicious flowering shoots in spring
Chards and greens
Sow leaf beet and chard up until end July for a seemingly endless supply of greens in autumn and into next spring.
Winter spinach is excellent for use in salads as well as cooked.
Also try Rapa Senza Testa Turnip Greens for an excellect quick growing green vegetable. Ready about 4 weeks from sowing, it makes mild green leaves that have a wonderfully buttery flavour when cooked, and are also nice and mild if used raw in salads.
Land Cress (Barbarea verna) is great in salads but can also be eaten cooked as 'creasy greens' or as a pretty much identical substitute for watercress in soup. It is sown in autumn & grown over winter, its a great addition to winter salads!
Also try 'Bianca Riccia da Taglio'Salad Endive, which is hardier than lettuce, and has pretty pale green leaves with a good non-bitter flavour, it can be sown spring, summer or autumn.
Root and stem vegetables
Sow beetroot in June for full sized roots to store. A later sowing in July will be ideal for pulling as tender baby beets in autumn; you can make a further sowing in late August or early September if you are lucky enough to have a polytunnel.
(Store your main crop of beetroot for winter use by pulling in autumn, twisting off the leaves, and packing into dry sawdust. Make sure that the roots don't touch, and they should store through until well into the new year.)
Carry on sowing carrots in July and early August to pull as tender carrots in autumn. We recommend 'Giant Red' Dark Orange Carrot as the best for summer sowing. The vigour and flavour of this Italian variety are terrific. The great advantage of late summer sowings is that they are often less affected by carrot fly as the fly is less active in these months.
Sow turnips from mid June through to end July for pulling through the autumn and into the winter for all those lovely winter stews. Or cook them as my mum does, braised in the oven and served with a roast leg of lamb - delicious!
Sow swedes from May until late June for harvest in November/December - they will also store well in a cool place until well after Christmas. Excellent as an addition to winter vegetable soups (including the traditional Welsh cawl), roasted around the joint, or mashed with loads of butter and some ground black pepper.
Not everyone realises that Fennel is best sown after midsummer as its much less likely to bolt than if its sown in spring. Sow up to the start of August. The plants will stand up to Christmas or beyond in milder areas.
These are a fantastic root vegetable that everyone should try. They bear no resemblance to a breakfast radish, this is a large root - tennis ball sized and upwards - which you use in soups, stews and stir-fries. They are also great eaten raw grated or sliced finely into salads, with a mild zing to them. Try Black Spanish radish which is delicious in a stir fry, or used like a swede or turnip in soups and stews. We find them less fussy than either of those two vegetables, and sow them from July to Sept, for pulling all winter.
Successional sow Coriander until the end of July for a continual supply of fresh leaves, or anytime up to end September in tunnel or greenhouse. Parsley can also be sown up to end July and will stand through intot he winter with a bit of protection.
Peas and beans
Sow round seeded varieties in September and October for an extra-early crop in spring, or from January onwards. Try Glory of Devon as a dwarf variety, or Serpette Guilloteau if you prefer a climbing pea.
Sow broad beans and the hardier field beans from October (the ideal timing will depend on where you live) for an earlier harvest the following year.

By Harold Elletson
Roger Schank and Donald Clark will be interrogated by leading internet analyst and writer Andrew Keen about their controversial views on higher education at OEB’s ‘MidSummit’ conference in Reykjavik on 8 June. Both Schank and Clark think that the higher education sector is unfit for purpose and in need of urgent reform. They believe technology offers an opportunity to restructure and transform higher education, so that it is capable of responding more effectively to the needs of the employers and markets of the future.
Both men are a mixture of entrepreneur, academic, commentator and visionary. Schank is one of the world’s leading authorities on the use of artificial intelligence in education, learning theory, cognitive science and the building of virtual learning environments. He is also the Chief Executive of Socratic Arts, a company which aims to design and implement learning-by-doing in schools, universities and corporations. Clark is the former CEO of one of the UK’s leading e-learning companies, who has won many awards for the design and implementation of online learning. He is also widely known as one of the education world’s most colourful and outspoken commentators – his ‘Plan B’ blog regularly slaughters sacred cows.
Their approach to education and their view of the central role of technology in the learning systems of the future is summed up by Schank:
“The future of education is not with local schools (who typically refuse to adapt) but with online providers who can adapt quickly, offer their products worldwide and offer pragmatic learning on an as-needed basis worldwide.”
It is an attitude dominated by a functional, utilitarian attitude to education. Ultimately, institutions must meet the needs of markets: if they don’t, they have failed. The problem with the Higher Education sector, they think, is that it is simply not considering how markets and the needs of employers are changing. Too many universities are content with ignoring teaching and simply rest on the laurels of their research. In the future, it will not be possible to be so cavalier about the interests and needs of students.
“Universities are run by professors,” says Schank. “At the top universities, in order to become a professor, you have to have demonstrated, and must continue to demonstrate, an ability to do cutting-edge research. Then, we ask these top researchers to teach. They have very little interest in teaching and, if they must teach, they want to teach about the research they are doing.
“This would be fine and dandy, if just the top universities behaved this way. They would produce the limited number of researchers that we need to keep advancing our knowledge. The trouble is that nearly every university feels the need to copy the model of the top places. So the 500th ranked university will still teach about their research to students who will surely never be doing research. Most universities refuse to address real workplace needs and refuse to teach practical skills. As the President of Yale said to me when I was a professor there, in response to my attempt to get more practical things taught at Yale ‘We don’t do training, Roger.’”
Schank and Clark’s interrogator at the special ‘MidSummit’ session, Andrew Keen, will use a ‘Hard Talk’ style to examine their views in detail. Long a sceptic about some of the wilder claims made for the supposed benefits of information and communications technology, he is the author of ‘The Internet is Not the Answer,’ a celebrated and witty deconstruction of internet hype. A former high-tech evangelist, with a Silicon Valley start-up in the early days, Keen is now the Internet’s fallen angel, who believes that, on balance, it has had a disastrous effect on our lives.
The mix of characters and the clash of opposites at this ‘Hard Talk’ plenary session, which is entitled “Is HE still worth it?”, should make for one of the most fascinating discussions at what will be a thoroughly engrossing conference.

Engage More Businesses in 2018
We talk with economic development groups each day, and a theme that has emerged strongly over the last few months is the sense that engaging prospective businesses before they call you up is increasingly important to be competitive.
This makes intuitive sense as you look at the trends in the ways in which organizations engage, purchase and make decisions overall. Providing the right content on your website, and helping a prospective business self-educate is really inbound marketing – now the standard in businesses everywhere.
This might seem like a daunting project – turning your website into a business attraction lead engine ‐ and we would tend to to agree. Fortunately, new technology exists to help you tell a data-rich narrative about your community online. And without adding to your team's workload.
Attracting businesses with stories told through data
Here's a few pointers on how to think about providing the right content and storyline to help turn your website into a tool for educating prospects.
- Put the region in the best light. The right data in an easy-to-consume format will speak for itself. Help a prospective business see what it needs to know about your region with quick access information on trade area, workforce and more.
- Let your audience "choose their own adventure" Interativity in your data visualizations within the page will let viewers explore what they want to. Some people need workforce and quality of life information, while others want data on potential consumers. You can tailor these to the types of businesses you seek to attract.
- Make the report page awesome on mobile. More than 2/3 of Americans are getting their news on mobile devices. Your community profile report should be no different. Busy executives should be able to click and look on their iPhone, and have as good or better experience than in a browser. It's 2017, folks.
- Leverage data automation.
You don't want stale content on your site, and these days it is possible to have live connections to data sources within your report that let you "set it and forget it".
Here is a great example
At eImpact, we help economic development groups get sophisticated with their online business engagement, fast. Our solution provides everything you need, from data collection, to a beautiful online interface, which is mobile-ready.

Perhaps the most effective technique is "broad based dips" developed by

They have described it well in the literature and it is particularly
effective in mountainous or very hilly terrain.

She deceived you. You thought that she was all about love...but, she was all about your money. Yet, it still didn't stop you from keeping her posted upon a lofty pedestal. Until one day, you could no longer turn a blind eye to her true personality. The sparkly persona which drew you in so steadily, now makes you cringe in regret.
You think back to the other women whom you passed over because their looks and persona were not as glittery. Each night, you sit in your palatial home drinking expensive whiskey and cursing her name. How could you have let yourself be deceived by her facade? No doubt, she is cavorting around town with another man. She is probably whispering into his ear and promising to love him forever.
Though your feelings straddle the axis of love and hate for her, you long to hear those loving words fall from her lips...as insincere as they may be.

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I’m rubbish at design. But, I keep trying to improve…
This year, I thought I would have some baskets at the front, full of the hot colours of red cascading geraniums, Begonia ‘Cascading Embers’, Fuchsia ‘Thalia’ and Surfinia petunia ‘Victorian Yellow’. To cut a long and dismal story short, the plants were ordered, then lockdown stopped the shopping. Trying to get mail order hanging baskets was a nightmare (presumably most of them come from China, also in lockdown at the time), and those that arrived had very little wire and enormous gaps in between, so planting through the sides wasn’t at all practical.
The baskets went into the shed, and the basket plants, now in burgeoning growth, were consigned to double fill eight containers that were meant to hold a calmer collection of whites and greens, pinks and purples, most of which were also in burgeoning growth. All except for the Caladiums, which had, to a man, rotted.
Well, they’re all looking full of themselves now, even if not as planned.
This was a month or so ago.
And this is now.
Not showing to best advantage, I know, but they’re too heavy for me to heave around. Crammed in there, we have unlikely bedfellows. There’s Colocasia, with the large leaves; Zantedeschia ‘Picasso’, with the purple-throated white trumpets and spotted leaves; red balcon geraniums (the sort you get hanging from window boxes in Switzerland); surfinia petunia ‘Victorian Yellow’; the dark leaves and orange flowers of begonia ‘Cascading Embers’; fuchsia ‘Thalia’ with its red-accented leaves and emerging trumpets of scarlet-orange flowers; and fuchsia ‘Annabel’, just starting to open pink-tipped white flowers.
All things considered, I’m amazed they’ve grown as well as they have, the colocasia needing a lot of water to fuel those leaves, and the geraniums and petunias, not so much. Hopefully, next year I’ll do better!
The weedy plant just behind is truly a weedy wildflower – ragwort. I’ve left it there because the clumps of ragwort in the drive that are currently being consumed by Cinnabar moth caterpillars are now down to almost stumps. I think I may have to move the starving hordes to another food plant, and this one is big enough to see them through.

I bought this on Craigslist for $90. They guy I got it from said he worked in a quarry starting in 1979 and this was a back up genny for the shop and they used it in the quarry as well and when he retired they just let him have it. sometime a second outlet box was added to the top one for their tools as well as the stock box but other than that it is stock.

Choosing A Dining & Reception Tent Hall
Choosing the best reception tent hall for your special dining event is one of the most important aspects of ensuring your guests enjoy your event in complete comfort. Of course if your food is so one of its kind that people are willing to die for it, that will be a different story.
Not only does the perfect reception tent hall make hosting your event much easier, but it also means your guests are likely to enjoy your event and attend future events you host. A good beginning means half success.
There are many aspects to keep in mind when searching for the best reception tent hall, such as distance, seating capacity, and the number of amenities a specific hall offers your guests. When determining which reception tent hall is best for you, it can be helpful to know some basic things you should look for in such a hall.
Locate a Reception Tent Hall that Offers Convenience
Convenience is one of the most important things to look for in an ideal reception tent hall, as it includes both driving distance to the reception hall as well as the ease with which your guests can reach the hall. And since we have solutions for all kind of ground condition, you are able to move the tent hall anywhere you like, which makes location is zero problem to you.
When selecting an appropriate hall, you should keep in mind that most people prefer not to drive farther than 15 to 30 minutes, so you should focus on finding a reception tent hall within this distance of most of your guests to allow for maximum attendance. In addition, you should also ensure the reception tent hall you rent is easy for your guests to find to ensure no one gets lost on the way. Perhaps you may consider one transparent tent, with lighting, it will be a shinning star on the ground that no one will miss.

I used to say our district was bi-polar because having both Microsoft Office365 and Google G-Suite with Classroom drove many people crazy. Then someone pointed out that “bilingual” is both more accurate and more appropriate. So, for all the times a teacher or administrator has asked, “Is Microsoft going away now that we’re ‘going Google’?” here is the rationale for a resounding “No!”
First of all, if we are going to chase whoever currently has the best set of tools, that’s a moving target. Google took a giant lead with the ultra-simplicity of Classroom, but Microsoft is battling back by focusing on accessibility tools, touting the research on the retention of handwriting vs. keyboarding (Hence their focus on the stylus) and the interconnectedness of their suite of Office tools. As my colleague Tracey often points out, we don’t know that Amazon or Adobe or some thus far little-known developer may have the next best thing. Besides that, they are all constantly changing, usually for the better, but sometimes losing a feature.
Another argument that corresponds to UDL principles, is that each platform has different strengths to offer. Teachers, students and administrators are free to choose the tool that best meets the needs of whatever task they are trying to accomplish. For instance, when Google Drive stopped supporting the ability to play a video stored in Drive, it made Microsoft’s Stream indispensable. Our teachers don’t have to stop using Google Classroom and switch back to Microsoft (we had OneDrive a couple years before we had Google Drive). Teachers can store their videos in MS Stream and add the link to their Google Classroom. Classroom has all the tools most of our teachers need, but our math teachers are looking at OneNote Class Notebook instead because of the equation editing tools in Microsoft, and our AVID students, and some World and Classical Languages utilize OneNote, which Google doesn’t really have an equivalent version of. So, we can use the best of both worlds.
In our district, most classroom teachers are sold on Google Classroom, while the Central Office, including curriculum writers, have stuck with Microsoft OneDrive. Which makes a lot of sense when you consider the kind of work being done. Our district houses the NSA, the National Security Agency. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone! They have a very large internship program that allows high school students to work there, very often leading to a career there. Interestingly, when I was at an evening session for freshman and their parents at a local high school, the Guidance Counselor was giving advice to anyone looking ahead to apply for such an internship. Plan ahead. You can’t apply if you haven’t taken a couple of Office courses. Microsoft. Office. Courses. There is no Google version. We don’t know whether any of our graduates will go on to either an employer or a college that uses Google’s or Microsoft’s office tools. Outside of education, that odds are greatly in favor of Microsoft. Businesses don’t require Google Office certification.
On the other hand, in education, Google works great for the masses. As a Special Educator of two decades, I’m used to these kinds of choices. Is today’s purpose to make sure the students go home having mastered the content, in which case we will use all sorts of accommodations, digital or not. Or are we focusing on the soft skills today, where technology can be a crutch? Google tools tend to be all students and teachers need to succeed in the world of school, especially when they have access to all the third-party tools Google allows all the creative-minded developers in the world design to make Google work even better. (Our teachers have access to Add-ins and extensions. Our students do not.) Unless they need accommodations. Microsoft shines when it comes to accessibility features. But using solely Google does a long-term disservice to many of our students who will need to switch over to Microsoft professionally.
Ultimately, though, I suppose it’s a matter of preference, like chocolate or vanilla. I happen to like chocolate and vanilla.

On June 17th, Greece’s take on austerity and the European Union will be clearer. The vote and the general financial problems of Greece may end up being guideposts for other creditors and debtors in dealing with overleveraging. Greece, of course, isn’t the only country to be overleveraged. In reviewing a list of 40 countries with high frequency debt and government bond yield data, the ten most overleveraged countries are (debt to GDP in parentheses): Japan (212%), Greece (165%), Italy (120%), Ireland (108%), Portugal (108%), United States (103%), Singapore (101%), and Belgium (98%). Some of these, like Greece, are perceived as “unsafe” political entities, and thus, pay the price of being “unsafe” through higher bond yields. Others are perceived as “safe” from most or all forms of default, and thus earn the good graces of bond market investors. In rationing out the “safe” and “unsafe” overleveraged countries, the ten perceived “safe” overleveraged countries are: Japan, the United States, Singapore, Belgium, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Of these, six reside within the European Union. One has to wonder how long these ten “safe” overleveraged nations can stay on the good side of a generally rational bond market.
In the past year, 11 of these 40 countries found out what it is like to be on the outer edge of the good graces of the bond market, with Greece leading the way (up about 140% over last year’s yield of 12.75%), followed by South Africa (up 84% over last year’s yield of 4.5%), Portugal (up 40% over last year’s yield of 8.5%), Hungary (up 23% over last year’s yield of 7.2%), Peru (up 23% over last year’s yield of 5.5%), Spain (up 21% over last year’s yield of 5.3%), Italy (up 18% over last year’s yield of 4.8%), Columbia (up 8% over last year’s yield of 7.0%), Russia (up 7% over last year’s yield of 5.6%), India (up 4% over last year’s yield of 8.0%), and Brazil (up 1% over last year’s yield of 12.4%).
Why is Greece now in trouble with bond market investors? It’s not as if Greece’s lack of budgeting constraint was unknown until this year. The real answer is complex, and comes down to such things as economic growth, revenue, timing of expenditure needs, timing of bond rollovers, political risk, and perception of risk. Of these factors mentioned, it’s the whipsawing of perception risk that is difficult for investors and countries to manage. Of the “safe” overleveraged counties in the green box, which ones will have experienced the whipsawing of their perception risk at this time next year? Contagion risk in the European Union is high right now as is U.S. political risk? Presently, it appears the bond markets are paying more attention to the countries in the red box: “unsafe” overleveraged countries. But, “safe” never means safe when you’re an overleveraged country. Triggers in the actual perception of risk could be many, but what we do know is that one or two of the “safe” countries will probably shift away from being a safe haven. The shift from “safe” to “unsafe” will no doubt leave some bitter taste in the mouths of some investors and political leaders.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAL) is a
water-soluble synthetic polymer.
Polyvinyl alcohol has excellent film forming,
emulsifying, and adhesive properties. It is also resistant to oil, grease
and solvent. It is odorless and nontoxic. It has high tensile strength,
flexibility, as well as high oxygen and aroma barrier.
Polyvinyl alcohol is a white soluble
high-molecular compound, not soluble in ordinary organic solvents.
Polyvinyl alcohol for food use is an odourless and
tasteless, translucent, white or cream colored granular powder. It is
soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, but insoluble in other
- Polyvinyl alcohol is
used in adhesive and thickener material in latex paints, paper coatings,
hairsprays, shampoos and glues.
- PVA is widely used in
freshwater sport fishing. Small bags made from PVA are filled with dry- or
oil-based bait and attached to the hook, or the baited hook is placed
inside the bag and cast into the water.
- PVA is used as raw
material to produce coating material and adhesives etc. also to produce
pulp finishing agent, soil ameliorator, film and polyvinyl butyral etc.
- The combined exports of
China and Taiwan amounted to about 38,700 tons in 2006, and if the exports
are regulated by the anti-dumping problem, these exports must find out
- Due to the growth
potential, Asian markets including the Chinese domestic market should be
home for such material. But, if Chinese producers aggressively increase
the production capacity, the problem may not be so simple.
- The domestic demand of
PVA is estimated to be at least 5,000 Tons per annum for the next coming
- The use of polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA) as a coating agent for food supplements poses no health
risks, according to a recent EFSA investigation.
- The European
supplements market was estimated to be worth 5.2 billion in 2005, with
growth rate expected to peak at 4.4 percent over this year before dropping
to a steady 4.1 percent for the subsequent five years. By 2011, the market
is predicted to be worth around 6.6 billion.

Realme has been making incredibly feature-packed truly wireless earphones over the past couple of years. A few days ago, the company launched the Realme Buds Air 3 with claims of better audio quality, more effective ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), improved battery life, and features like multipoint connectivity for just ₹3,999 (₹3,499 for a limited time).
Our Realme Buds Air 3 review reveals whether the company’s claims hold true and if the new earbuds are worth buying.
Design & Comfort
The Realme Buds Air 3 are among the better designed wireless earbuds in the price segment. The case is small and shaped like a pebble, which helps it easily slide into any pocket. The lid offers a satisfying click and solid feel while opening and closing. Some people might not like the Realme logo on the top of the case.

The earbuds themselves are light and fit easily in most ears. They have a plastic build with a glossy finish, and I would’ve preferred a soft-touch material. Despite the glossy plastic body, the earbuds fit comfortably and securely despite lacking any ear fin. They did not fall out even when I shook my head vigorously (enough to cause a neck sprain). Even gym-goers and runners won’t find any issues with its fit. And the IPX5 rating is a bonus for people with an active lifestyle.
The stems of the earbuds are thinner and shorter than most other earbuds in the same price segment. The earbuds are placed in the case in a weird way, though. You have to rotate the ear tip section of the buds outwards while putting them inside the case. There is a USB Type-C charging port at the bottom.
Towards the end of the review, the Realme Buds Air 3’s case dropped out of my hands from waist-level height onto a hard concrete surface. As you can see in the image above, the case suffered a few dents and there was a crack towards the edge of the lid. I have never dropped any wireless earphones from such a height, so I am not sure how other earphones would fare.
I tested the Realme Buds Air 3 with the Realme 9 5G SE (Review) and activated the AAC codec. Most of my listening was via Apple Music and Spotify. I also watched a lot of videos on Prime Video and YouTube. I listened to various music genres, including Bollywood, Dance, Electronica, Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, and Rock/Soft Rock.
The Realme Buds Air 3 are tuned for punchy audio, with a slight emphasis on bass (low-end). But Realme hasn’t gone too overboard with bass, unlike the OnePlus Buds Pro and the Realme Buds Wireless 2. The vocals are clean but not as forward as I like. The low-end has a decent amount of thump, but it’s not as tight or meaty as some more expensive wireless earbuds. There is not enough sub-bass that I enjoy on my wired earbuds like the Final Audio E1000 and the BLON BL03. The high-end lacks that spark and shimmer that I love, but I am nitpicking at this price. The resolved detail is average, too.
The soundstage and stereo separation are nothing to write home about. The earbuds are pretty average in those aspects. You can switch between Bass Boost, Balanced, and Bright equaliser settings. I went through a 10-minute process to activate the Custom Audio Tuning feature, which improved the audio tuning. I could hear highs and vocals more clearly.
Sometimes, the vocals sound a bit metallic, and this phenomenon increases when the ANC mode is activated. There’s support for Dolby Atmos when a compatible Realme phone is used, and customisable equaliser settings are available.
Realme claims that the Buds Air 3 can cancel up to 42dB of background noise. I wasn’t expecting much with the earbuds because of their affordable price point. I’ve listened to other affordable ANC earbuds in the past, but most of them had poor ANC implementation, negatively affecting the audio quality and not cancelling enough noise.
The Realme Buds Air 3 performed really well, drowning out most of the unwanted noise. I was surprised at the amount of background noise that disappeared after turning on ANC. Low-end sounds from the AC and the ceiling fan disappeared. I couldn’t hear most of the vocal sounds from my family members (in another room) and the TV even when the music wasn’t playing.
I couldn’t travel on a flight during the review period, so I can’t really comment on the ANC performance during air travel, but I assume that the earbuds should fare well in such scenarios.
I wasn’t impressed with the transparency mode. Ambient sounds weren’t amplified enough, especially sounds from the higher-end frequency spectrum. I couldn’t test the Wind Noise Reduction feature since I didn’t go out a lot, or if I did, I couldn’t listen to the music.
Overall, the Realme Buds Air 3 have commendable audio quality and ANC performance for the price. I’ve listened to wireless earbuds that cost twice as much as the Realme Buds Air 3 but sound worse.
The Realme Buds Air 3 are highly feature-rich as per their price tag. They feature a Bluetooth 5.2 chip with support for SBC and AAC. Yes, they lack aptX and LDAC, but we don’t expect to see LDAC support at this price. Even the Galaxy Buds 2 that cost 3x the Realme Buds Air lack LDAC codecs. Want to know more about Bluetooth audio codecs? Read our in-depth explanation of Bluetooth audio and various wireless audio codecs.
The earbuds also support ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and transparency modes. The ANC is adjustable, too (received via a software update). There’s wind noise reduction, too, so you can take calls even when it’s windy (we don’t recommend calling while driving/riding). The earbuds support wear detection for automatically pausing/playing music based on whether or not you’re wearing them.
The companion Realme Link app allows switching between ANC On, ANC Off, and Transparency modes. It also allows tweaking of the audio equaliser. The earbuds also support customised audio tuning as per the user’s listening capability.
You can also enable/disable Volume Enhancer and Wind Noise Reduction features. Game Mode, Dual Device Connection, In-Ear Detection, and Auto Answer features can be tweaked using the app. It also lets you customise touch control settings—Double Tap, Triple Tap, and Touch And Hold—for left and right earbuds. Speaking of touch controls, there was a slight delay between tapping and those taps being recognised.
Realme claims a battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge (earbuds + case). Each earbud should last up to 7 hours on a single charge with ANC/Transparency modes turned off and volume level set to 50%.
In real life, the earbuds lasted anywhere between 5 and 6 hours when the volume level was set to around 80%. I turned off Dual Device Connection, Game Mode, Volume Enhancer, and Wind Noise Reduction. ANC and Transparency were activated based on requirements. If you enable all those features, battery life will take a hit.
The case can fully charge the earbuds three times, which means you are realistically looking at a total battery life of more than 20 hours. Most people will be satisfied with the Realme Buds Air 3’s battery life. A full charge takes around an hour.
The Realme Buds Air 3 get our wholesome recommendation. They sound relatively neutral yet punchy enough to offer a fair bit of excitement. Most people would like its audio tuning. The ANC performance was really impressive. The earbuds are well-designed, well-built, compact, and attain a secure fit. They are IPX5-certified, too, which means you don’t need to worry about them while working out.
The earbuds are extremely feature-rich and have multi-point connectivity, Google Fast Pair, and a fantastic companion app (Realme Link). Features like aptX and wireless charging would’ve been like icing on the cake, but we’re asking for a lot at this price point. The only thing that Realme can improve with its next-generation TWS is better performance in the higher frequency sound spectrum.
If you want even better audio, you should look towards the Jabra Elite 7 Active, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (Review). The slightly higher priced Nothing Ear (1) sound only marginally better than the Realme Buds Air 3 but lack a lot of features.

- Good design and IPX5 rating.
- Great companion app.
- Feature-packed for the price.
- Vocals sound a bit metallic, especially when ANC is turned on.

From Burnout to Brightness: Balancing Teaching and Happiness
Sometimes, teaching is more like bombardment: Grading hundreds of essays, placating disgruntled parents, accommodating learning needs, sweating out the principals’ nerve-wracking classroom observation. And then there are the stressors of life beyond the classroom.
Being a teacher can be tough. It is rewarding but also overwhelming and, at times, can take a personal and professional toll.
But that doesn’t have to be, explained educator Justin Ashley in the edWebinar, “Catching Happiness: How to Work Through Burnout and Be a Joy-Filled Teacher,” sponsored by Free Spirit Publishing. Ashley shared ways teachers can counteract burnout to build socio-emotional health and increase happiness.
Ashley was a burnout victim. His fallout was severe: He became addicted to prescription drugs, wasn’t spending time with his family, didn’t sleep enough, and finally landed in rehab, his life having come undone. His is a cautionary tale for teachers. How do they walk the fine line between professional and personal well-being?
They start, explained Ashley, by understanding that happiness is made up of relationships, financial stability, professional satisfaction, and physical and mental health.
Making Learning Exciting
Nurturing excitement in the classroom builds professional satisfaction, said Ashley. Switching up teaching styles to find more creative and interactive ways to engage students encourages them to become part of the learning process.
Students, emphasized Ashley, fall in love with the “remarkable, exceptional, new, and interesting content” so much they enjoy coming to school. Turns out, it has the same effect on teachers.
Rules provide the consistency that children need. But if they aren’t based in mutually respectful relationships, they lose their value.
Ashley relies on Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell’s book, The 5 Love Languages of Children, which highlights what young people need to form respectful connections, to drive the way he shapes his relationships with students around these languages:
Affirmation: Pointing out positives so students know that they’re doing the right things.
Quality time: Encouraging student participation in group activities and providing opportunities for interaction with others during recess or in the cafeteria, for example, to give children time and space in which to form bonds.
Physical touch: Giving children fist bumps and high fives, for example.
Personalized gifts: Rewarding prizes, such as colored pencils, playing cards, and even a lollipop can help to create connections.
Acts of service: Doing good for students to demonstrate care and concern.
Stating Your Personal Creed
Figuring out personal and professional priorities helps teachers to remained balanced. This requires finding answers to questions-to-self in four key areas:
Style: What lifestyle do I want to have? What style do I have when it comes to teaching and living?
Values: What are really the most important aspects of my life? What’s at the top of the priority, and what’s not at the top?
Joy: What do I enjoy doing the most? Where do I find myself laughing and smiling and losing a sense of time and place?
Legacy: What do I want to leave in this world?
Family and Friendship
Quality time with family, especially children, is crucial to personal well-being. Ashley follows the advice of parent expert Amy McCready who recommends parents blocking out at least 15 minutes a day to spend with their kids without cell phones, computers, or video games in the mix.
It’s equally as important to not be isolated from friends who substantially contribute to a person’s well-being.
Teachers’ salaries can be limiting. Ashley recommended budgeting, wise spending, saving, and investing, and establishing an emergency fund to greatly reduce financial anxiety that can erode emotional health.
Physical and Mental Health
Ashley urged teachers to monitor and address the following issues in order to be the best they can be in mind, body, and spirt:
Sleep: Teachers don’t get enough sleep, affecting how they function in the classroom. Avoiding caffeinated and sugary drinks after 12 PM; eliminating schoolwork and technology in the bedroom at night; wearing blue-light blocking glasses when watching TV; and lowering room temperature by two-three degrees before jumping into bed are among research-based actions that improve sleep habits.
Anxiety: Fear, worry, rumination eat away at teachers’ emotional stability. Often, they fret about issues that can be positively addressed. Flipping to the benefits of a potentially negative situation reduces anxiety. Stressing over a principal’s review of your teaching? Value any feedback in order to improve.
Depression: This is common among teachers and becoming more prevalent. A bonafide chemical imbalance triggers depression, which is exacerbated by poor eating habits, social isolation, and failure to compartmentalize. Teachers can consider working with a mental health provider to deal with depression.
Exercise: Working out at least 30 minutes three times a week uplifts your mood and puts you in a better mental state. Going to a gym is one option but riding a bike, playing a sport, hiking…all are good for the body and mind.
Ashley assured that rebuilding, renewal, and reinventing are possible. The Japanese, he explained, call this process “kintsugi,” the act of gluing back together broken pieces of pottery with a golden lacquer that makes the piece even more beautiful than when first created. Teachers, he said, should ask themselves how to beat burnout and rebuild their lives with gold.

Benefits Of Using Kosher Salt To Perfect Your Cooking
Non kosher salt is the one factor that can affect a gourmet cooks perfect dish. There are many benefits to using non kosher salt but, just like any other commodity, you cant get away with using it for every recipe.
The first benefit to kosher salt is its taste. Any person who cooks in the kitchen can attest to the differences in flavor between kosher and non kosher salts. This makes the distinction very clear when deciding what to use as a flavoring agent for your next meal.
Kosher salt is much richer in taste than its non kosher counterpart, and many restaurants use this salted water solution in their sauces. It will not only impart a richer flavor to the dishes but also add color to them. You can experiment with this method to create the right salt-to-water ratio in your cooking.
Another benefit to using kosher salt is its shaker power. Im sure that if you were to try and take a pinch of salt, break it in half and squeeze it through a mesh bag, youd be surprised at how much salt you could hold. With a standard kitchen strainer or a bag, the tiny bits of salt will sit there, adding to the flavor of your dish while taking up precious counter space.
Its so easy to avoid the extra salt when using kosher salt that its quite astounding to think that they even put it on the label of the product. They use this salt to make it look like that they use more when in fact, the label just says kosher salt.
If you are a teacher or a student, then it is difficult to argue with the health benefits of kosher salt. It has been proven that the salt used in kosher recipes help to protect the body from high blood pressure. In fact, if your family member suffers from high blood pressure, you should definitely have him or her use kosher salt in his or her meals.
Even if you do not suffer from high blood pressure, you can still reap some health benefits using a salt shaker. Its a very easy way to add a little something extra to your meals.
There are many recipes out there that call for non kosher salt, such as chicken soup, which needs to be cooked in a non-kosher broth. Be careful that the kosher salt you are using is all-natural, as it does not contain iodine, which can damage the thyroid gland.
If you are the type of person who loves trying new dishes, then using a salt shaker can be a great way to add salt to the dish that you are currently cooking. Once you get the hang of it, you can begin to use the shaker more to experiment with different recipes.
Besides using a salt shaker to add salt to your recipes, the salt shaker can also be used to take a pinch of salt and break it in half. Since the first time you cracked a salt-crusted egg, you have probably thought about using this method to add a pinch of salt to your next dish.
Experiment with the salt shaker by using it to break in fresh herbs, rub in a little garlic or use a salt shaker to sprinkle sugar on top of a sugar cake, but always remember to use only kosher salt. If you arent already doing so, please make a commitment to yourself to only use only kosher salt in your cooking.
You may not be aware of this, but when using a salt shaker in your cooking, you can always sprinkle some of the salt on top of your dishes before putting them in the oven. Salt always looks beautiful in a dish, so why not get your hands on some salt andget experimenting?

When asked if his two daughters with wife Nicole Kidman are musical, the American Idol judge, 46, shared a rare glimpse of family life in the Urban household: "I think Faith might be, our little 3-year-old," he said of his youngest child, Faith Margaret. "She likes 'Fifi,' so we call her Fifi now," he said of his baby girl's "new stage name."
"Sunday, our older one, she sings all the time too," the country crooner added of his 5-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose. "So who knows."
The father of two told Us that he would encourage his kids to do music if they had an innate talent for it like their famous dad. "Absolutely, if they're really good at it and that's what they want to do, I'd encourage them to work at it," he said of his daughters' potential future.
Musical talent, however, is not only limited to dad in this family: Long before she married Urban in June 2006, Kidman flexed her vocal muscles for Moulin Rouge! The star, 46, was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar back in 2002 for her role in the musical drama.
"Whatever they show an aptitude for and a passion for, they just have to work at it," the Aussie-raised superstar added Monday. "No matter what they do."
The Fuze singer will perform at the Grammys on Jan. 26. Idol's new season will return on Jan. 15.

Baking a rainbow cake. Want to leave the outside unfrosted so that the colors can be seen. How can I bake so layers don't brown on edges?
I want to only frost inbetween each layer, leaving the rainbow edges visible. But right now, they are turning out brownish-red, orange, etc. Less time in the oven? Lower temp? Butter instead of pam for no sticking?

Author: Department of Justice
Published on 29 February 2012 01:30 PM
Justice Minister David Ford has said that the fear of crime outstrips reality.
He was responding to today’s publication of the national statistical report on the Perceptions of Crime, which found that people’s fear of being a victim of crime exceeds the risk.
David Ford said: “Crime levels in Northern Ireland are on a downward trend and people are less likely to be victims of crime here than in England and Wales.
“The findings of today’s report do not come as any surprise. During the consultation process on the Community Safety Strategy, the common theme running through the public meetings was the contrast between the fear of being a victim of crime and the actual risk.”
The statistical report finds that 15% of those questioned thought they were likely to be a victim of burglary in the next 12 months, compared with the actual risk of two percent.
There were similar findings for car crime and violent crime, where the likelihood of being a victim far exceeded the reality.
David Ford said: “Tackling crime, the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour is a key priority for the criminal justice system and progress is being made.
“Crime levels are down as are incidents of anti-social behaviour and the establishment of the new Policing and Community Safety Partnerships in the next few months will bring together organisations at a local level of tackle crime and the fear of crime.”

Today is Wednesday, December 19th. Less than a week until Christmas. I have just breathed a giant sigh of relief because I just cleared my backlog, my order book. It has only been empty for about two hours since August. And now it is clear again! Oh joy!
On Sunday I started to panic because I still had 12 orders to go and some had to go to California. But I worked hard and now I have two pickups, one delivery and I'm done! I can now start on Christmas preparations.
No more work for awhile! Yay! Merry Christmas to all!

|Home World||Isle of the Labyrinth|
Fuesona is a member of the Forgotten Revolt. He and Nickero are the only Raksum in the group, not under some sort of mind control. Because of this, he is second-in-command of the Forgotten Revolt, despite that he is number four in the organization.
In the NestEdit
Fuesona was hatched in a Raksum nest along with the other members of the future Raksum division of the Forgotten Revolt. He grew up distant from the other Raksum and spent a great deal of time alone. When Fuesona left the nest, he became intent on making a fortune and rising to power. He soon found that this wasn't possible due to the human's hatred toward Raksum. After making this discovery, Fuesona went on a destructive rampage through the city of Valde Civitas. Eventually, he became known as the Isle of the Labyrinth's most dangerous terrorist. This infamous past caught the eye of Thorn.
The Forgotten RevoltEdit
Thorn approached Fuesona and told him that he was planning on taking over the Isle of the Labyrinth, and that he would like the Raksum to join him. Unbeknownst to Fuesona, Edward Thorn had just deceived him. The replica's true motives were to find memories for himself. Fuesona went with Thorn, gathering members for their cause. Fuesona himself, was the one that proposed using the other members of his nest, and to use a form of mind control for the unwilling subjects.
After gathering up enough members, Thorn decided that it was time to set a trap for the members of Kingdom Come, the current residents of the world Thorn truly desired, Castle Oblivion. The dark organization traveled to the End of the World, where through the help of a strange and mysterious entity, they were able to bring back Metropolia from the depths of the shadows. Now that everything was in place, Nickero caused them to crash-land in the newly brought back world that many members called their home.
At this point, each Forgotten Revolt member took on a different agent of Kingdom Come. Fuesona was pitted against Zoë. The skirmish between the two raged on until Fuesona subdued her with anesthesia, strapped her down to a hospital bed, and pushed her into a small room. He then left to find more suitable interrogation devices. Unfortunately for him, Mogmi, Zoë's young Moogle friend was tailing the blond teenager and was able to free her and eventually wake her sleeping form. Their escape was altered, however, when a blast of sonics from a battle outside caused the staircase to collapse, forcing the duo to flee to the roof, where someone was waiting. This person was none other than Fuesona. The two heroes raised their swords together and engaged the dark Raksum in battle, eventually overcoming him and knocking him off the roof and into an alley.
Hurt but not yet destroyed, Fuesona rose weakly from the cold ground. This sign of injury tempted the nearby Nickero, as he was in dire need of energy in order to survive the coming battles. Pinning the silver-haired Raksum to the wall, Nickero sucked the energy from Fuesona until all that was left was an empty shell. Fuesona was no more.
Fuesona is both cunning and cruel. He feels no remorse for what he does, believing instead that the end will justify the means. His major weakness is his immense overconfidence in himself. Since his birth, Fuesona has thought of himself as a natural leader, and often tries to take control in many situations. This led him to butt heads with Nickero, who considers himself to be more competant than his other cohorts.
Fuesona is a slender man, with a face that has a "worn" look to it. His silver hair is about neck length, and it is very straight. From his shoulders down, he is covered in black clothing. Fuesona wears a zip-up jacket, whose sleeves run all the way down to his black leather gloves. Below that, around his waist is a thick belt, with a buckle in the shape of the Forgotten Revolt insignia. Under this belt, lies a pair of black leather pants, equipped with knife and sword holders. To top off the entire outfit, Fuesona wears black boots that have a silver lining in various spots on their surface.
Fuesona attacks with a heavy sword that deals immense damage if used correctly. Unfortunately, this causes him to move very slowly in battle. He has little skill in magic, making him almost exclusively use close-ranged attacks, very rarely launching a spell at his foe. His defense itself is not very great, but his blocking skills are used well, often being able to stop the most complex attack.

Watching professional golfers hit chip shots is a great thing. It always seems like they have the perfect distance control. This leads to more up and downs, fewer bogeys, and hence, the reason they are on TV.
If you could have better distance control when chipping, you would see better results on the course as well. In order to get there let’s take a look at what determines how far your chip shots travel and how you can improve it.
What Determines Distance? Solidness of Contact
If you hit one shot solid, one shot fat, and one shot thin, all three shots are going travel different distances. How solid the contact you make is the biggest factor in distance control for chip shots.
What Determines Distance? How Much Loft is Used
This actually is more complex than it sounds. It should be obvious that using a club with more loft will produce a higher shot that will travel less distance than a club with less loft. The thing that is less obvious is that a lot of players lean the club forward or close the face which takes loft off of the club. This makes the golf ball travel further.
What Determines Distance? Speed of the Swing
Simple physics say that the faster the club moves the further the ball will go. It’s very common to see swings that are way too big or small when hitting chip shots.
Now we know what determines distance, let’s improve it.
Controlling Your Distance: Making Solid Contact
The biggest key to making solid contact is to get the clubhead to hit the ground in the same place each time without digging. It sounds complex but it’s really not that difficult. If the clubhead contacts the ground and you position the ball correctly you’ll hit a solid chip shot. To improve on this focus on setting your hands a few inches ahead of the ball at setup, making a swing with a slight wrist hinge, and feeling your mid-section rotate towards the target. Take 20 practice swings with this feeling and feel the clubhead “thump” the ground each time. After the practice swings add in a golf ball and you’ll see more solid contact.
Controlling Your Distance: Using Consistent Loft
The first part of using consistent loft is using clubs around the greens that you have practiced with and know how far they go. To make this easier reduce the number of clubs you use around the green. Sticking to the sand wedge, pitching wedge, and 8 iron makes your decisions much easier. The second part of consistent loft is not leaning the shaft of the club too far forward. A lot of golfers want to do this and end up hitting down too much. This takes the loft off the club and can also lead to the clubhead digging into the ground. Set your hands just a few inches ahead of the golf ball and distance control will be more consistent.
Controlling Your Distance: Having Consistent Swing Speed
The key to having consistent speed on your chip shot swings is to swing with balance and good tempo. This means that the backswing and the follow through should be similar sized. A lot of players make big backswing with very short follow through or vice-versa. This makes distance control difficult. Make 20-30 practice swings and focus on having both sides of the swing be the same size. The swing should also have good tempo and smooth movement. There should be no jagged or quick movements. Once you get the feel with the practice swings add a ball and maintain that good balance and tempo. Spend some time working on these three areas and your distance control will be much more consistent.

“It is always good to be able to answer the question ‘how am I doing?’”
Back to Basic Selling by Robert F. Taylor, page 152
It was the New York City Mayor Ed Koch who regularly asked the question “How am I doing?” He made this a popular household phrase.
The reason why more people don’t ask this question is that they are afraid that they might get the wrong answer. This is not a good enough reason to remain in the dark since whether they hear it or not, the answer will be the same.
Only by hearing what you need to hear can you do anything about it. This is a question that you must begin asking your clients as soon as possible. A few of the areas to investigate include: telephone manners, your customer service systems and policies, the speed in which you call clients and prospects back, the interest shown in your prospects problems and concerns, and I’m sure you can think of other areas.
There is another good time and place to ask this very same question to yourself. This involves your sales and marketing strategies and campaigns. How are you doing when it comes to daily prospecting? How are you doing at becoming more visible to those targeted prospects in your well-defined marketplace? How are you doing at motivating yourself and your employees?
The sooner you begin asking this question, the sooner you will be able to refine your program. Because you’re human you will naturally be looking for applause and confirmation that what you’re doing is yet another example of splendid work. This will be nice to hear, but it will not benefit you as far as improving your business. What you need to hear is the candid truth about areas that need improvement. Believe me, you won’t receive this input unless you actively seek it out.
Mike presents a business-building webinar on the third Thursday of every month sponsored by AmaWaterways. To receive monthly invitations send Mike an email with the words “business training” in the Subject Box. You will also receive a link to the recorded version.

Guilty as charged
-- for a minute
Terry Pluto made God Hates Cleveland Sports feel guilty.
Not for taking the summer off! Heck, no!
No, Terry Pluto wrote that familiar refrain when our teams are doing well: Quit yer crying!! Our Indians are in first place and they've just about got the division wrapped up. Yet still, says Pluto, "Hands wring, teeth gnash, violins weep."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... you talking to me?
Sure, there's been no lack of hands wringing, no shortage of teeth gnashing, and no lack of violins weeping here at GHCS. Well, except for the last three months. But the Steelers are in town, so lets start again!
Or maybe not. Maybe Terry Pluto is right. Maybe we should just sit back, and if winning is inevitable, just relax and enjoy it. Let's put on our #46 Doug Jones uniform, sit in the bleachers, and gulp down some dollar hot dogs. Let's call in to Bruce Drennan and Schwabby and praise Casey Blake's ability to be as average as can be. Let's send our name into the Indians' playoff ticket lottery and make plans for as many October nights as we can. After all, this is Cleveland Indians baseball we're talking about.
Terry Pluto made us feel guilty and we were on the verge of doing all that ...
... except ...
... except that just a few hours later Browns cornerback Leigh Bodden was arrested at the airport.
... except that just a few days later that seven-game Indians lead was down to five games and the Detroit Tigers were showing signs of life with a four-game winning streak.
... except that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in town, and Joshua Cribbs was predicting a Browns victory. (Here's a secret -- he's the only one.)
Yeah, we felt guilty for a few hours, because after all we DO have a first-place team on our hands. And we are riding high after the Cavs appearance in the NBA Finals just a few months ago. And we did get Brady Quinn AND Joe Thomas in the NFL draft.
But then Leigh Bodden reminded us -- you don't live in Cincinnati, you live in Cleveland!
And then we were just guilty for taking a summer vacation.

Bookassist Scores Three-in-row at Travel Industry “Oscars”

This third win confirms Bookassist as the only booking engine provider in the world, specialised in hotels, to win three successive titles.
The Dublin-headquartered company with worldwide operations won the prestigious World Travel Award title in 2012 and 2013. They picked up their third successive win on Sunday December 7th at the Grand Final ceremony in Anguilla as a result of strong voting from the global hotel and travel industry.

The record third win is an endorsement of the whole team and a win for the company’s hotel clients who place their trust in Bookassist. It’s a particularly strong achievement in a fast-paced industry, given the calibre of fellow nominated companies, including industry powerhouses and former winners Sabre and Amadeus.
The World Travel Awards are voted on by the global travel industry and carry significant weight for winning brands. Now officially ranked as the World’s Leading Booking Engine Technology Provider, Bookassist will continue to be a highly sought after brand for hotels that are serious about their direct online business.
Commenting on the support received from the global hotel industry, Des O’Mahony said: “The level of support, the messages of encouragement we have received is truly humbling.

It absolutely validates what we do, delivering exactly what the hotel industry needs, and at the highest standards.”

Many years back, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, I decided to go to the ex-Soviet states of Uzbekistan and Russia.All of this happened in the early days of Uzbekistan’s independence and very soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Before deciding to venture into the land, which was a dark spot on the world map, for me and for many others, due to international political manoeuvring and propaganda, churned to dispel socialist ideas, I brought my prior travelling experiences to the forefront, and deciding that it couldn’t be much different from the rest of the world, planned my trip accordingly. Soon you will start understanding the uniformity blunder and the cliché library.
I boarded the flight from Peshawar, Pakistan to Tashkent, the proud capital of the newly independent Republic of Uzbekistan. The flight experience was not much different from any local or international, approximately 2 hour, flight. But, the usual stuff ended with the flight.
Around 4 in the evening, we arrived at Uzbekistan’s Tashkent International Airport. The plane came to a halt. The air-stairs rolled into position, and the flight crew opened the door. Under normal circumstances this hatch might had opened into a usual scenario. But this time it was an opening into wonders of the yester years.
The vehicle awaiting the alighting passengers was no modern low floor bus, like the ones which were used at nearly all the airports by that summer of 1992. It was no Scania or Mercedes. It was some Ikarus truck with a trailer.
The new and unexpected did not end with this. This bus was in fact just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Cramped in that tow trailer, we reached the doors of the terminal. My regular-procedure routine kicked in and I hurried off the bus, towards the terminal, to go through the passport control ahead of the whole flight.
As soon as I entered the terminal, I saw a long corridor ahead of me. But some 5-6 meters down the path, the corridor was cordoned off. I was just taken aback a little to see two mid-aged women, dressed in white gowns, ones which looked like medical gowns, attending the make-shift counter. With overwhelming astonishment, invoked by the looks of the immigration staff, I approached the counter, and before I could even say hello, one of the attendants asked me for my passport.
In the meanwhile, a second queue had formed on the parallel counter, and the person at the head of the line had also handed his passport over. After grabbing my passport, the madam behind the counter asked me for something in her proficient Russian. Since I could not speak the tongue, I said: “Sorry, I can’t understand”.
The woman repeated her demand in a louder voice, as if instead of saying that I could not understand, I had said that I was deaf. But, the raising voice technique did not do any good. I still was at a loss to grasp the essence of her query. But looking at her outfit, and taking the surroundings into account, I was sure that she was not asking me out for a drink or for a dance!
The passenger behind me jumped into our intimate conversation and said: “She is asking for the tourist voucher, which you submitted at the Uzbekistan embassy for visa”.
Ok, so she was asking me for the piece of paper, which as per my understanding was a confirmation of hotel reservation. Back in those days, one had to make hotel reservations in advance for the purpose of getting visa to visit the ex-Soviet Union (they had a single visa for a number of newly independent states including Russia).
I handed out the three day hotel reservation confirmation, or as they called it the tourist voucher. The woman took a sigh of relief and started entering my data in her register. That was another very strange thing for me, because even back in 1992 immigration control officers already used computers everywhere.
She took her time, entered all my details in her register and handed me back my passport and the tourist voucher, without stamping my passport, and signalled me to move on. I was nothing short of bewildered by the process of immigration control. No stamps in the passport, no verification of visa, nothing!?
Lost in my thoughts, about the procedures, I went down the aisle, and some 10 meters down the line turned right, and voila, there they were, the regular uniformed, strict looking men and women in peaked caps.
As I reached the row of immigration counters, I scanned the territory to find the shortest queue. I saw a vacant lane and went right ahead to the immigration officer, who was probably waiting very anxiously to prey on the first fowl.
Approaching the counter I said: “hello”, and extended my passport towards the guy manning the station. He grabbed the passport, not even bothering to respond to my greetings. But, hey, who can complain about such behaviour exhibited by uniformed officers.
He took a look at the photo in my passport, and then raised his head to confirm if I was the same person or not. Then he lowered his gaze towards the passport again, and again raised his eyebrows to see me. He repeated this eye shifting at least ten times, while every time turning a new page in my passport. I was standing there and wondering if he could see a different photo on each page of my passport. But, the more he looked at me the more my lips broadened in smile.
After making sure that my passport had all 36 pages, as was written in it, and after feeling the authenticity of the passport with his fingertips, he also asked me for the tourist voucher. The difference this time was that the monsieur behind the counter could utter a few words of English.
Taking the tourist voucher from me, his hands disappeared under the counter, where there was an open briefcase, which had a computer installed in it. Now that was amazing, because back in 1992, laptops were very expensive, so at all the airports, where I had been, immigration officers enjoyed the pleasure of using table-top computers.
After all, there was something more advanced about the Soviet Union as compared to the rest of the world.
The immigration officer took his time playing with his advanced office equipment, and I kept wondering that probably he was trying to force his computer to declare me one of the world’s most wanted criminals. But failing to compel the database, after some 20 minutes, he gladly stamped my passport, and disembarkation card.
Taking back the custody of my passport, and nodding goodbye, I proceeded towards the baggage claim area.
The baggage claim area again welcomed me with a surprise. There was only one conveyor, but that conveyor and the surrounding area was barricaded behind a steel grill, and it was very badly lit. I went inside that prison cell kind of baggage claim area and waited for my bag.
Soon my bag appeared from behind the cavity. I took my bag, and started on my way following the exit sign. Just 10-12 steps away I came up to the customs counters. As everywhere, they had this red marked passage and a green-channel. I had a small bag with only my personal belongings, and nothing to declare, so I went through the green-channel. But, remember we were at the Uzbekistan’s Tashkent International Airport, not Singapore’s Changi Airport. As I stepped between the counters to pass, an officer of the Uzbekistan customs asked me to stop. He took my passport and asked me for the declaration form.
I informed him in a very casual manner that I had nothing to declare, hence no declaration form. The officer smiled and said that I needed the declaration form in any case. I said ok and asked him to give me a declaration form, so that I could fill it and go.
The officer pointed towards a window a few meters back and told me that I had to get the form from there. I grabbed my bag, and went to get the declaration form. As I approached the window and asked for the dreaded form, I was told that I had to pay for it.
Now that was something really new. Where in the world have you ever purchased a customs declaration form? As far as I am concerned, I had never even dreamt of purchasing such items, and mind you I had travelled extensively before that late August day.
Now you should get ready for the real fun. My lack of information, about the place where I was heading, started paying-off. I had money, but I had all my money in traveller’s cheques. Back then it was the safest way of carrying money. At any airport in the world, you could arrive, and readily cash your cheque(s) to have local currency. Back in those days there were a lot more different currencies then today.
I asked the person behind the counter about the price of the declaration form. It was just 100 roubles. In 1992 it meant about 10 US cents. I told him that I needed to exchange money. He pointed towards a man sitting behind a nearby pillar and told me that I could exchange money with him.
I went up to the money man. It is needless to say that he could not speak English. But, as they say, money loves silence. I had no problem making him understand my intentions. I took out a hundred dollar Thomas Cook travellers cheque and gave it to him. He took the cheque. Looked at it very closely, and then turned it over to see the back side. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at me as if I had tried to con him into exchanging a counterfeit US dollar bill. Most certainly it was the first time in his life that he had seen such an instrument of payment.
He uttered some words in the exotic tongue, and handed me back the cheque. I again attempted to explain to him with gestures that I needed to cash the cheque. Responding to my persistent query, he just managed to utter “No, no, no”. Maybe I am not a native English speaker, but I could understand that he had refused to cash the cheque.
Now that is what you call a dead-end. I asked the money man if there was a bank in the terminal. He probably did understand the word “bank”, because he pointed towards the exit, saying something in the same mysterious language. I grasped the idea that he was telling me that the bank was outside the terminal building. I thanked him for nothing, and went back to the customs officer.
As he was the only person, who could understand English, I tried to explain to him that I was ready to leave my bag, go out, exchange money, and then come back to buy the declaration form, and go my merry way. But after listening to my marvellous plan, he simply told me that I could not go out until I had submitted the declaration form.
So, comprehending the vicious circle of no money no form, no form no exit, no exit no money, and back to square one, I just put down my bag in the middle of the territory and sat on it. I was now contemplating how I was going to pass the rest of the 29 days of my journey at the airport, awaiting my return flight and dreaming about the historical sites of Uzbekistan that I could see.
As I was sitting there, just gazing around, one of the passengers, who had arrived on the same flight with me, came up to me and asked, why I was sitting there, and not leaving. He was also from Pakistan, so I had no problem explaining that I was caught in a vicious bureaucratic circle.
After listening to me he asked me to come with him. We went straight to the window, where they sold those dreaded declaration forms. He took out a 100 rouble note, which carried an image of bald Lenin, and giving it to the official salesman, bought me a form.
To tell you the truth I had no idea, how much those 100 roubles really translated into. Taking the form and thanking my benefactor, I assured him that I would give him back the money as soon as we could go out and find the bank. He just shrugged off the idea of returning 100 roubles, but at the same time gave me the “good news” that there was no bank at the airport, even beyond that exit gate.
Anyway, I victoriously returned to the same Customs officer, gave him the filled-out declaration form, and waving “hasta la vista baby” hurried towards the exit.
To be continued…

Over half a million PCs infected as hackers go after cryptocurrency
Authored by a Symantec employee
What happens when cryptocurrency becomes one of the most desired forms of money? Everyone takes notice. That includes hackers. This time cybercriminals have set their eyes on Monero, a highly sought after, private and untraceable cryptocurrency.
Researchers from Proofpoint discovered a Monero mining botnet called Smominru (aka Ismo) that spreads using the EternalBlue exploit.1 This exploit, which was created by America's National Security Agency (NSA), was leaked by a hacking group called Shadow Brokers in April 2017. EternalBlue was responsible for the debilitating WannaCry ransomware attack that infected over 200,000 computers all over the world.
What is the Smominru botnet?
Smominru is a botnet that comprises over 526,000 Windows PC computers. It is known to deliver a variety of malware and Trojans to vulnerable devices, ultimately benefiting the operator by mining cryptocurrency. According to a recent report, Smominru has infected over half a million computers and could forcibly mine nearly 9,000 Monero tokens.2 At the time of writing, this amount could be worth somewhere between $2.8 to $3.6 million. According to Proofpoint, the 'hashpower,' or the speed at which mining operations unlock new units of cryptocurrency, is twice the size of other mining operations. This makes execution that much faster. Even though the bot was distributed all over the world, Russia, India and Taiwan were the most affected countries.
What precautions to take for the Smominru botnet
Just like it protected its customers from WannaCry Ransomware before it was distributed, Norton Security can help protect against Smominru. Update your Internet security suite and operating systems with the latest updates.

Kid Cudi on Chelsea Lately
Last night Kid Cudi joined Chelsea Lately, not to talk to Chelsea, but correspondent Gabourey Sidibe. The two briefly touched on Need For Speed, of which the clip they played with Cudi featured humorous trolling by Cud, but more on Cudi’s actual start in music. He talked about the time he and Dot Da Genius worked for Dot’s dad’s security company and how he came up with the song that propelled his fame in “Day N Nite”. Also, his reasoning why he had to leave the Oscar Party he saw Gabourey at… priceless. And oh yes, a brief nod to the new album, Satellite Flight, which is available now (and a must-grab).

Falcon Eyes Bi-Color LED Lamp Sophiez SO-28TD on 230V
The Falcon Eyes SO-28TD is a modern LED solution, which provides extremely soft light. The individual LEDs are not visible, but instead, one soft light is being produced. The wattage of the SO-28TD is 28 watts. The light is produced within a 65 degree angle, with a CRI value of 95 providing natural colors. The brightness of the light is adjustable with the built-in touchscreen. It is also possible to adjust the color temperature, from 3000K to 5600K. You can power the SO-28TD with the supplied power adapter or optional NP-F battery.
The SO-28TD is great for video recordings in your studio or on location. Even when making portrait photographs, this type of light is being used more and more. The soft, widespread light provides a natural representation of the subject. Thanks to the spigot connector, the SO-28TD fits on almost any light stand. At the sides of the lamp you can find hinges. This allows you to adjust the lamp in almost any angle. Using the control panel on the back of the lamp, you can control multiple lamps simultaneously with one control panel. All you have to do is set the lights on the same channel (A / B / C / D). Even when using different types of lamps from the Sophiez, LPL and RX series, you can control them with only one control panel. The Sophiez lamps with 'TDX' in their name do not work with the 'TD' versions. For example, you can not control the SO-48TD wirelessly with the SO-108TDX. With the SO-68TD this works fine.

On November 4, 2009, PetsMart of Phoenix, Arizona, announced the voluntary recall of two Dentley’s Beef Hooves products due to possible contamination with Salmonella bacteria.
Both products were reportedly manufactured by Pet Carousel, Inc. of Sanger, California.
Here’s an edited copy of the actual announcement made by the FDA today…
The recalled products include only the following types of Dentley’s Beef Hooves purchased between Oct. 2, 2009 and Nov. 3, 2009:
Dentley’s Bulk Cattle Hoof UPC# 73725703323
Dentley’s 10 Pack Beef Hooves UPC# 73725736055
No other products are included in this recall.
The affected products were shipped from the Pet Carousel plant to three PetSmart distribution centers in Ottawa, Ill., Groveport, Ohio and Newnan, Ga., and then shipped directly to certain PetSmart stores. Although the affected product was not shipped to every store, as a precautionary measure PetSmart immediately recalled the product from all of its US stores and instituted a register block to prevent any product from being inadvertently scanned and sold. In addition, PetSmart removed the product from the PetSmart.com Web site and notified PetPerks customers with valid e-mail addresses in the PetSmart database who purchased the affected products.
Salmonellosis is an infection with bacteria called salmonella. Most persons infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some individuals, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Many dogs do not show clinical signs of salmonella. However, when they do, they often have diarrhea or other signs of systemic infections.
Customers who purchased the recalled products should discontinue use immediately and return the product to any PetSmart store for a complete refund or exchange. Customers who have concerns about their health or their pet’s health should consult a medical professional.
For more information, customers may wish to contact PetSmart Customer Service at 888-839-9638.
