You should make small decisions quickly so that they do not accumulate and become problematic. However, sleeping on a big decision will help you make the better choice, as sleep can help you solve difficult problems by accessing information that is related to the initial problem but may not be in your conscious memory.
When you need to make a big decision, always sleep on it first.

Whether you live in the Bay Area or not, you can definitely watch San Francisco 49ers online all season long. Even if you don’t have cable, you’ll have some great options to stream the games. That’s because the cable cutting market has expanded rapidly, and now you’ll have plenty of choices to choose from to watch 49ers game online.
FOX will be the most important channel to get access to since they’ll be broadcasting the majority of 49ers games. ESPN, NBC, and CBS are other channels which may be airing games during the year. One of the best parts about some of these services is if you don’t get live access to the service, you can potentially watch games on the FOX or NBC sports apps with your login. Read the guide below to learn more!
Hulu Live is a name that you’re probably familiar with. Even before people started cutting the cord they were using Hulu’s on-demand service. This next-day network service with added TV and movies has only continued to get more popular the longer it’s been around. So, when they decided to evolve and add live TV, it was exciting for cord cutters and those who wanted to cut the cord. Hulu Live is everything that a Hulu-fan could want. The Hulu Live channel list includes 50+ networks and access to both ESPN and many local channels. Local access is dependent on your location, but you can still use the sports and TV Everywhere apps to sign in to the network and watch your show or game live or on-demand.
As you might have already guessed, Hulu’s on-demand service is included with Hulu Live. You’ll have access to all of your favorite parts of Hulu with the addition of live television. You’ll also have a DVR that comes with 50-hours of storage space. Need to record more? You can upgrade to 200 hours for a small fee. Hulu with Live TV does not require any contracts, so you’re free to cancel any time. The monthly fee starts at $40 but could cost more with the additions of add-on channels and upgrades.
Sign up for the Hulu Live trial for another way to learn more.
DIRECTV NOW, from AT&T, could let you watch a San Francisco 49ers game live stream in its $40 per month starting package.

If you don’t catch it live, you can watch on-demand nationwide or you might be able to get live access using TV Everywhere apps. There are around 60 channels in the DIRECTV NOW channel package, so it’s good choice to simply replace your cable package.

Sling TV may let you watch 49ers game online. You can watch NBC and FOX live in certain areas and on-demand nationwide. These come in the “Sling Blue” package for $25 per month. Sling TV is known for its flexible channel packages and great deals for new subscribers. Sling TV Orange, also $25 per month, offers ESPN. Naturally, if you want to watch NFL each week, both packages would be beneficial. That’s why Sling TV offers a chance to combine these packages at a reasonable rate of $40 per month.
Some TV Everywhere apps are included in your package. These apps allow you to watch more shows live and/or on-demand. You just sign in with your Sling TV details and you’ll be able to watch what you want. Sling TV offers dozens of channel add-ons, if you want a larger package.

Plus, there are more than 70 other channels in the fuboTV channel package. There’s a heavy focus on sports networks, which makes this a great streaming option for sports fans.

Along with some form of local access you’ll also have ESPN, AMC, FX, Cartoon Network, CW, and more. You can also utilize the on-demand library to find previously aired content you might not have seen live or TV Everywhere apps, which will let you sign in and watch live and on-demand network-related content.
YouTube TV also features a cloud-based DVR, which is one of the most popular features YouTube TV offers. This is because they allow you to hold on to recordings for nine months and they offer unlimited storage space. This means you can record the entire season of your favorite show and watch it all at once if you want. Another popular feature is YouTube TV’s mobile interface, which takes streaming on-the-go to the next level. With YouTube TV you can stream on computers, Apple TV, Roku, and many other devices. Fire TV devices are currently not compatible.

There are multiple packages to choose from and you can also add movie channels to any package for a small fee. If you can watch the game on your local channels because you don’t get them with PS Vue, you may be able to login to their network TV Everywhere app and watch live or on-demand that way.
Your account will include a cloud-DVR, which can be split into multiple profiles so that you don’t have to share your recording space with anyone. You also won’t have to fight for the chance to use PS Vue, because you can run the service on five devices at the same time!

CBS All Access will let you live stream everything your local CBS affiliate is broadcasting for $5.99 per month. That means on Sundays you can watch whatever NFL games come on CBS. This might not be as helpful for you, but you could watch a 49ers games online if it does come on the network. As you might suspect, this service is best for someone that has cut the cord and doesn’t have access to a streaming service that offers CBS and that cannot get the channel with their antenna. As a niche service, CBS All Access offers plenty of content, but probably won’t be anyone’s sole streaming service as it is extremely limited in terms of what it offers. You can learn more about this service in our CBS All Access review.
CBS All Access offers the live stream channel all day long. It also gives you access to the CBS on-demand library. Everything that currently airs on CBS will be included in the CBS All Access on-demand library. You’ll also get plenty of older CBS shows and a growing amount of CBS All Access originals that are exclusive to this service. You can watch CBS All Access on most streaming and mobile devices including computers, Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV, and more.
Amazon Prime has partnered with the NFL to allow for Prime members to watch a free simulcast of Thursday Night Football each week. This makes it a great way to watch football if you’re a Prime member. However, if you’re not, you might want to consider signing up to Amazon Prime, as free TNF is just one perk that you’ll receive. For instance, they offer 2-day shipping for free, an on-demand library with movies and TV, original content TV and movie exclusives, an Amazon Prime music library, and so much more. While the free shipping and the Prime Video library are the two biggest reasons people get a membership, the added perks make the service even better!

NFL Game Pass streams every NFL game, so it could be a good way to watch the San Francisco 49ers without cable. Whether or not this service will work for you will depend on whether or not you want to watch the football game in live stream. You see, unfortunately, NFL Game Pass does not allow you to live stream regular season games. If you’re more interested in watching as many games as possible this may not bother you, but if you want to watch the game live streaming you may want to look for another service.
Despite the fact that you have to watch the games after they have finished airing on TV, the on-demand library that NFL game pass offers may soften the blow. In addition to all of the regular season games this season you’ll also be able to watch many previous seasons, including all special games and Super Bowls for those years. The condensed game feature allows you to watch the entire Game from start to finish in less than an hour. You can watch NFL Game Pass on a number of different streaming devices. These include mobile devices, as there are no mobile restrictions that will prohibit on-the-go streaming. Are you living abroad and still want to watch the NFL this season? If so, you can check out NFL Game Pass Europe or NFL Game Pass for the rest of the world depending on your location.

Knowing the natural heritage of the Park and contributing to spread among young people and adults the right sense of belonging, responsibility and respect towards this territory. Among the specific objectives it is intended to develop the awareness of the value of conservation and safeguard of the environment as a combined system of natural, anthropic and cultural elements; and to encourage a direct knowledge of the Capraia, Elba, Pianosa, Montecristo and Giglio islands as an example of environments of significant nature value that must be preserved. Increasing awareness towards the biodiversity safeguard problems is also part of the Park Authority's objectives, also through the best lifestyle practice. Most of the schools from the Elba island are expected to participate along with the adult people resident in Capraia and Giglio islands, fostering, when possible, the participation of parents too, both in case of children with disabilities and able-bodied ones.
The project addresses the young people residing in Tuscany's protected areas belonging to the primary, 1st level and 2nd level secondary schools, according to different educational pathways meeting the different needs indicated by the teachers and the schools.
The project also addresses the regional and national schools that are planning didactic outings and might choose the Tuscan islands thanks to the boosting of the promotion activities (through the Info Park Are@ team) and the creation of incentivizing measures.
At the end of each didactic activity the classes and the guides will realize a digital and/or analogical work to enable the Park to assess the experience.

Personally, I have no need for one of those newfangled compact music player thing-a-ma-jigs that require ear plugs, or ‘ear buds’ in today’s correct language.
I don’t need any of that stuff to keep me amused while behind the wheel of my big rig.
I have a personal list of favourite tunes, all stored in my little ol’ noggin. I whip one out at any time the mood hits me, and look out. I’m singing along and having a great time. Nobody with me to laugh or cry or even to make it a duet.
It’s one of the side benefits of driving a rig. No, I’m not going to tell you about when I was a cute little choir boy, but truth be told that was when I discovered I could sing.
I have a couple dozen songs that I love to sing while I’m driving. Sometimes, I just find myself just humming the tune. That works too. Makes me happy.
I usually do one or the other when traffic is nuts, or when some less-than-sane person has done some questionable act in front of my loaded rig that makes me question the existence of his or her parents.
OK, you say, what songs?
Well, first of all, these songs are etched in my brain because they are from the era when lyrics were easy to hear and understand. Music was the background, not the overly modulated noise which seems to be the flavour of the current era.
My two big time favourites to sing out loud are Dave Dudley’s “Six Days on the Road and Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again.
If I want to feel more up-to-date, I do Tom Cochrane’s Life is a Highway. I can’t hit some of those screaming notes Tom does, so that’s when I start to hum.
I can hit all the notes with Roger Miller’s King of the Road, even though his song is about a railroad, not a highway, but it works for me.
How about Arlo Guthrie’s City of New Orleans. Remember that one? I sure do. It’s another railway song, but it’s about travelling down the road.
With “road” as the key ingredient, there is always Ray Charles’s Hit the Road Jack. I especially love to sing the last verse of that song. I met Ray Charles once, shook his hand and spent a few minutes with him when he was performing at the Cave, here in Vancouver, but that’s another story for another time.
Are you noticing how you remember most of these songs? Have you been humming along too? Maybe just a little bit? Don’t worry. You’re normal too.
I sing this song in the privacy of my company rig, I can’t get the darn thing out of my mind for a week. That same artist gets me again with I Love a Rainy Night. That should be Vancouver’s theme song.
Then there’s one of the first songs I ever memorized, Johnny Ray’s Just Walking in the Rain. True, it’s not about driving, but it can be about just living on the wet coast.
An easy one for me to sing is a one-time hit from movie tough guy Robert Mitchum. Battle of Thunder Road. I can’t get my voice that growley, but I fake it.
Still in that era, I do a good job with Frankie Laine’s Ghost Riders in the Sky. The Highwaymen — Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash and friends — also did a good version of that song.
If it’s a wet rainy day, and traffic is stupid, I start doing The Mills Brothers’ Cab Driver. It just makes me smile — the song, not the real cab drivers because they scare the you-know-what out of me, nine out of 10 times every day.
I also remember most of Naughty Lady of Shady Lane by the Ames Brothers. I like the Doobie Brothers’ Divided Highway and being a good Canadian, my fall back choices are BTO’s Roll On Down the Highway, and my personal theme song, my motto, what my wife promises to engrave on my headstone; Trooper’s Here for a Good Time, not a Long Time.
In my previous life, I used to be a radio station DJ. I played these songs on the air. That’s my story, and sticking to it.
And no. I don’t do requests.

Creating profitable Dairy Farms in India. Educating Dairy Farmers & budding Dairy Entreprenuers with best practices on effective Dairy Management.
Amrutha Dairy Farms formally started operations in July 2010 in the Promoters owned land of 3 Acres near Bangalore. The Project was conceptualized by NABARD Consulting (NABCONS) and was funded by State Bank of Mysore.
One day Dairy Training was really very very help full for me to make certain decisions on my future dairy-farming plans,thanks a lot for your suggestions based on self experience . All through the training there was no biasing on dairy farm , i mean there was nothing negative or positive to talk, it was purely the experience, technicalities, difficulties,basics of dairy farming which is very important to make self-decisions rather than inspired-decisions. Well it is understood that one day is not sufficient to cover most of the details in the training, but what ever you gave was really sufficient to do some ground work and make certain decision on various aspects of the dairy farming. It could have been better if you make it for two days, and share some in depth details on all the technicalities and challenges. I heart fully thank you for sharing your experience and valuable inputs on dairy farming ,definitely they were priceless.
Thanks a ton for organizing the workshop on dairy farming. Initially when I had great interest towards dairy farming I struggled a lot to find a right person for guidelines.I happened to know about you and 'Amruta dairy' in yourstory.in. I was excited when you agreed to guide me because earlier when I approached some other people I didn't get proper response. I found the workshop to be well organized,structured and was good enough to cover the most of the aspects that we were looking for as a beginner.The best part was that it was not merely a theoretical class but were able to visualize everything since we had walk through in the dairy farm.I appreciate the way you connect and conduct your self with others because I never felt I was meeting you first time.
Overall a very good workshop. A very interactive session which cleared the doubts about and came to know more about the challenges involved in dairy farming. The live examples and experiences shared by Mr. Santhosh is very useful. This Workshop will definitely help to take proper and concrete decision whether to go ahead with the project or to see what is lacking and what needs to be taken care before starting the project. Thank you.
As a beginner got to know the inside story of this business which helped me learn little things involved and the major challenges that will be faced in running a dairy business. Overall it was a very good experience. You are doing a very good work, keep it up.
This workshop on Commercial Dairy Farming was really beneficial for me to get a better and wider knowledge about Dairy Farming. It is an inspiration for me.
Excellent, a must for anybody who intends to start a dairy farm. Superb food and hospitality. A very practical guide. I would come back soon. Genuine effort in educating the positives and negatives.
It was a very useful interactive session. Normally we get to know only the positive side of any business, but here, we also got to know the challenges and threats in dairy farming.
I would like to state that I found the day training workshop to be very informative, interactive and thorough. I was also very impressed with the honesty and transparency and earnestness with which Santhosh was ready to share his knowledge and experiences.
Workshop is good, gives the zist on the commercial dairy farming, tells about how we can start the dairy farm as beginner. Overall presentation by Santhosh is good, the level of knowledge and depth of experience is great. This workshop is totally useful.
It was a great and welcoming experience visiting your farm. The information and explanation provided was useful and the experience shared are definitely going to be of great help. The hospitality made me feel at home and I would definitely come back to learn more. Thanks a lot.
It was quite precise and insightful session. It surely will help me to take the right decision. Secondly, I really appreciate your effort and I am very much impressed with your team work and I wish you good luck for your future endeavors.

Built in 1818, Vat Sisaket is the only temple to survive a 19th century invasion when the Siamese raged the city and forced most of its people into exile across the Mekong. It continued to function as a monastery during the 19th century despite the depopulation. It is the only temple to maintain its original shape albeit a partial restoration in the 1920s hence the chipped walls.
Vientiane is an ancient city and its history has been recorded largely in its temples.
Came across this meme and found it cool. So here’s my very first attempt on photo hunting. I was in Vientiane last year and Laos has since been one of my favorite Asian destination. Check out other PhotoHunt entries here.

I've run into problems backing up my Postgres 10 DB.
It appears that I have problems with PSu Server builds newer then 1723. I can not get any of them to create a backup properly.
All earlier pg builds works perfect.
Both backing up and restoring properly.
I've filed a mantis for this.
Any possibility you could tell us all and help someone avoid a similar situation?
It was a problem I ran into which was caused by a bug in PSu way of using pg_dump I believe.
Hert fixed it in build 1901.
I did not have to do anything else other then upgrade the client side of PSu Postgres version and initiate a backup.
Hadn't been able to do a backup from within PSU since November.
Now it is running fine.

ugh McCann took the last of the photographic plates out of the developer and laid them on the table beside the others. Then he picked up the old star charts—Volume 1, Number 1—maps of space from various planetary systems within a hundred light years of Sol. He looked around the observation room at the others.
"We might as well start checking."
The men and women around the table nodded. None of them said anything. Even the muffled conversation from the corridor beyond the observation room ceased as the people stopped to listen.
McCann set the charts down and opened them at the first sheet—the composite map of the stars as seen from Earth. "Don't be too disappointed if we're wrong," he said.
Amos Carhill's fists clenched. He leaned across the table. "You still don't believe we're near Sol, do you? You're getting senile, Hugh! You know the mathematics of our position as well as anybody."
"I know the math," Hugh said quietly. "But remember, a lot of our basics have already proved themselves false this trip. We can't be sure of anything. Besides, I think I'd remember this planet we're on if we'd ever been here before. We visited every planetary system within a hundred light years of Sol the first year."
Carhill laughed. "What's there to remember about this hunk of rock? Tiny, airless, mountainless—the most monotonous piece of matter we've landed on in years."
Hugh shrugged and turned to the next chart. The others clustered around him, checking, comparing the chart with the photographic plates of their position, finding nothing familiar in the star pattern.
"I still think we would have remembered this planet," Hugh said. "Just because it is so monotonous. After all, what have we been looking for, all these years? Life. Other worlds with living forms, other types of evolution, types adapted to different environments. This particular planet is less capable of supporting life than our own Moon."
Martha Carhill looked up from the charts. Her face was as tense and strained as her husband's, and the lines about her mouth deeply etched. "We've got to be near Earth. We've just got to. We've got to find people again." Her voice broke. "We've been looking for so long—"
Hugh McCann sighed. The worry that had been growing in him ever since they first left the rim of the galaxy and turned homeward deepened into a nagging fear. He didn't know why he was afraid. He too hoped that they were near Earth. He almost believed that they would soon be home. But the others, their reactions—He shook his head.
They no longer merely hoped. With them, especially with the older, ones, it was faith, a blind, unreasoning, fanatic faith that their journey was almost over and they would be on Earth again and pick up the lives they had left behind fifty-three years before.
"Look," Amos Carhill said. "Here are our reference points. Here's Andromeda Galaxy, and the dark nebula, and the arch of our own Milky Way." He pointed to the places he had named on the plates. "Now we can check some of these high magnitude reference stars with the charts."
Hugh let him take the charts and go through them, checking, rejecting. Carhill was probably right. He'd find Sol soon enough.
It had been too long for one shipful of people to follow a quest, especially a hopeless one. For fifty-three years they had scouted the galaxy, looking for other worlds with life forms. A check on diverging evolutions, they had called it—uncounted thousands of suns without planets, bypassed. Thousands of planetary systems, explored, or merely looked at and rejected. Heavy, cold worlds with methane atmospheres and lifeless rocks without atmospheres and even earth-sized, earth-type planets, with oceans and oxygen and warmth. But no life. No life anywhere.
That was one of the basics they had lost, years ago—their belief that life would arise on any planet capable of supporting it.
"We could take a spectrographic analysis of some of those high magnitude stars," Carhill said. Then abruptly he straightened, eyes alight, his hand on the last chart. "We don't need it after all. Look! There's Sirius, and here it is on the plates. That means Alpha Centauri must be—"
He paused. He frowned and ran his hand over the plate to where the first magnitude star was photographed. "It must be. Alpha Centauri. It has to be!"
"Except that it's over five degrees out of position." Hugh looked at the plate, and then at the chart, and then back at the plate again. And then he knew what it was that he had feared subconsciously all along.
"You're right, Amos," he said slowly. "There's Alpha Centauri—about twenty light years away. And there's Sirius, and Arcturus and Betelgeuse and all the others." He pointed them out, one by one, in their unfamiliar locations on the plates. "But they're all out of position, in reference to each other."
e stopped. The others stared back at him, not saying anything. Little by little the faith began to drain out of their eyes.
"What does it mean?" Martha Carhill's voice was only a whisper.
"It means that we discarded one basic too many," Hugh McCann said. "Relativity. The theory that our subjective time, here on the ship, would differ from objective time outside."
"No," Amos Carhill said slowly. "No, it's a mistake. That's all. We haven't gone into the future. We can't have. It isn't possible that more time has elapsed outside the ship than—"
"Why not?" Hugh said softly. "Why not millions of years? We've exceeded the speed of light, many times."
"Which disproves that space-time theory in itself!" Carhill shouted.
"Does it?" Hugh said. "Or does it just mean we never really understood space-time at all?" He didn't wait for them to answer. He pointed at the small, far from brilliant, star that lay beyond Alpha Centauri on the plates. "That's probably Sol. If it is, we can find out the truth soon enough."
He looked at their faces and wondered what their reactions would be, if the truth was what he feared.
The ship throbbed softly, pulsating in the typical vibrations of low speed drive. In the forward viewscreens the star grew larger. The people didn't look at it very often. They moved about the corridors of the ship, much as they usually moved, but quietly. They seemed to be trying to ignore the star.
"You can't be sure, Hugh." Nora McCann laid her hand on her husband's arm.
"No, of course I can't be sure."
The door from their quarters into the corridor was open. Several more people came in—young people who had been born on the ship. They were talking and laughing.
"Would it be so hard on the young ones, Hugh? They've never seen the Earth. They're used to finding nothing but lifeless worlds everywhere."
One of the young boys in the hall looked up at the corridor viewscreen and pointed at the star and then shrugged. The others turned away, not saying anything, and after a minute they left and the boy followed them.
"There's your answer," Hugh McCann said dully. "Earth's a symbol to them. It's home. It's the place where there are millions more like us. Sometimes I think it's the only thing that has kept us sane all these years—the knowledge that there is a world full of people, somewhere, that we're not alone."
Her hand found his and he gripped it, almost absently, and then he looked up at their own small viewscreen. The star was much bigger now. It was already a definite circle of yellow light.
A yellow G-type sun, like a thousand others they had approached and orbited around and left behind them. A yellow sun that could have been anywhere in the galaxy.
"Hugh," she said after a moment, "do you really believe that thousands of years have gone by, outside?"
"I don't know what to believe. I only know what the plates show."
"That may not even be Sol, up ahead," she said doubtfully. "We may be in some other part of space altogether, and that's why the charts are different."
"Perhaps. But either way we're lost. Lost in space or in time or in both. What does it matter?"
"If we're just lost in space it's not so—so irrevocable. We could still find our way back to Earth, maybe."
He didn't answer. He looked up at the screen and the circle of light and his lips tightened. Whatever the truth was, they didn't have long to wait. They'd be within gravitational range in less than an hour.
He wondered why he was reacting so differently from the others. He was just as afraid as they were. He knew that. But he wasn't fighting the thought that perhaps they had really traveled out of their own time. He wondered what it was that made him different from the other old ones, the ones like Carhill who refused even to face the possibility, who insisted on clinging to their illusions in the face of the photographic evidence.
e didn't think that he was a pessimist. And yet, after only three years of their trip, after only fifty Earthlike but lifeless worlds, he had been the first to consider the possibility that life was unique to Earth and that their old theories concerning its spontaneous emergence from a favorable environment might be wrong.
Only Nora had agreed with him then. Only Nora could face this possibility with him now. The two of them were very much alike in their outlooks. They were both pragmatists.
But this time there would be no long years during which the others could slowly shift their opinions, slowly relinquish their old beliefs and turn to new ones. The yellow sun was too large and urgent in the screen.
He turned to the door and saw Amos Carhill standing there, bracing himself against the corridor wall. There was no color at all in Carhill's face.
"Come on up to the control room with me, Hugh. We're going to start decelerating any minute now."
Hugh frowned. He would prefer to stay and watch their approach on the screen, with Nora at his side. He had no duties in the control room. He was too old to have any part in the actual handling of the ship. Amos was old, too. But they would be there, all the old ones, looking through the high powered screens for the first clear glimpse of the third planet from the sun.
"All right, Amos." Hugh got up and started for the door.
"I'll wait here for you, Hugh," Nora said.
He smiled at her and then followed Carhill out into the crowded corridor. No one spoke to them. Most of the people they passed were neither talking, nor paying any attention to anything except the corridor screens, which they could no longer ignore. The few who were talking spoke about Earth and how wonderful it would be to get home again.
"You're wrong, Hugh," Amos said suddenly.
The crowd thinned out as they passed into the forward bulkheads. The only men they saw now were the few young ones on duty. Except for their set, anxious faces they might have been handling any routine landing in any routine system.
The ship quivered for just a second as it shifted over into deceleration. There was an instant of vertigo and then it was gone and the ship's gravity felt as normal as ever. Hugh didn't even break stride at the shift.
He followed Carhill to the control room doorway and pushed his way in, taking a place among the others who already clustered about the great forward screen. The pilot ignored them and worked his controls. The screen cleared as the ship's deceleration increased. The pilot didn't look at it. He was a young man. He had never seen the Earth.
"Look!" Amos Carhill cried triumphantly.
The screen focused. The selector swung away from the yellow sun and swept its orbits. The dots that were planets came into focus and out again. Hugh McCann didn't even need to count them, nor to calculate their distance from the sun. He knew the system too well to have any trouble recognizing it.
The sun was Sol. The third planet was the double dot of Earth and moon. He realized suddenly that he had more than half expected to see an empty orbit.
"It's the Earth all right," Carhill said. "We're home!"
They were all staring at the double dot, where the selector focused sharply now. Hugh McCann alone looked past it, at the background of stars that were strewn in totally unfamiliar patterns across the sky. He sighed.
"Look beyond the system," he said.
They looked. For a long time they stared, none of them speaking, and then they turned to Hugh, many of them accusingly, as if he himself had rearranged the stars.
"How long have we been gone?" Carhill's voice broke.
Hugh shook his head. The star patterns were too unfamiliar for even a guess. There was no way of knowing, yet, how long their fifty-three years had really been.
arhill shook his head, slowly. He turned back to the screen and stared at the still featureless dot that was the Earth. "We can't be the only ones left," he said.
No one answered him. They were still stunned. They couldn't even accept, yet, the strange constellations on the screen.
End of the voyage. Fifty-three years of searching for worlds with life. And now Earth, under an unfamiliar sky, and quite possibly no life at all, anywhere, except on the ship.
"We might as well land," McCann said.
The ship curved away from the night side of the Earth and crossed again into the day. They were near enough so that the planetary features stood out sharply now, even through the dense clouds that rose off the oceans. But although the continental land masses and the islands were clearly defined, they were as unrecognizable as the star constellations had been.
"That must be North America," Amos Carhill said dully. "It's smaller than the continent on the night side...."
"It might be anywhere," Hugh McCann said. "We can't tell. The oceans look bigger too. There's less land surface."
He stared down at the topography thousands of miles below them. Mountains rose jaggedly. There were great plains, and crevasses, and a rocky, lifeless look everywhere. No soil. No erosion, except from the wind and the rains.
"There's no chlorophyll in the spectrum," Haines said. "It seems to rule out even plant life."
"I don't understand." Martha Carhill turned away from the screen. "Everything's so different. But the moon looked just exactly like it always did."
"That's because it has no atmosphere," Hugh said. "So there's no erosion. And no oceans to sweep in over the land. But I imagine that if we explored it we'd find changes. New craters. Maybe even new mountains by now."
"How long has it been?" Carhill whispered. "And even if it's been millions of years, what happened? Why aren't there any plants? Won't we find anything?"
"Maybe there was an atomic war," the pilot said.
"Maybe." Carhill had thought of that too. Probably all of them had. "Or maybe the sun novaed."
No one answered him. The concept of a nova and then of its dying down, until now the sun was just as it had been when they left, was too much.
"The sun looks hotter," Carhill added.
The ship dropped lower, its preliminary circle of the planet completed. It settled in for a landing, just as it had done thousands of times before. And the world below could have been any of a thousand others.
They dropped quickly, braking through the atmosphere, riding it down. The topography came up to meet them and the general features blurred, leaving details standing out sharply, increasing in sharpness as if the valleys and mountains below were tiny microscopic crystals under a rapidly increasing magnification.
The pilot picked their landing place without difficulty. It was a typical choice, a spot on the broad shelving plain at the edge of the ocean. The type of base from which all tests on a planet could be run quickly, and a report written up, and the files of another world closed and tagged with a number and entered in one of the great storage encyclopedias.
Even to Hugh there was an air of unreality about the landing, as if this planet wasn't really Earth at all, despite its orbit around the sun, despite its familiar moon. It looked too much like too many others.
The actual landing was over quickly. The ship quivered, jarred slightly, and then was still, resting on the gravelled plain that had obviously once been part of the ocean bed. The ocean itself lay only a few hundred yards away.
Hugh McCann looked out through the viewscreen, turned to direct vision now. He stared at the waves swelling against the shore and his sense of unreality deepened. Even though this was what he had more than half expected, he couldn't quite accept it, yet.
"We might as well go out and look around," he said.
"Air pressure, Earth-norm." Haines began checking off the control panel by rote. "Composition: oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor—"
"There's certainly nothing out there that could hurt us," Martha Carhill snapped. "What could there be?"
"We might check for radioactivity," Hugh said quietly.
She turned and stared at him. Her mouth opened and then snapped shut again.
"No," Haines said. "There's no radioactivity either. Everything's clear. We won't need space suits."
He pressed the button that opened the inner locks.
arhill glanced over at him and then switched on the communicator, and the noises from the rest of the ship flooded into the control room. Everywhere people were milling about. Snatches of talk drifted in, caught up in the background as various duty officers, reported clearance on the landing. Most of the background voices were young, talking too loudly and with too much forced cheerfulness about what lay outside the ship.
Hugh sighed, as aware of all the people as if he were out in the corridors with them. It was the space-born ones who were doing most of the talking. The children, the young people, the people no longer young but still born since the voyage started, still looking upon Earth more as a wonderful legend than as their own place of origin.
The old ones, those who had left the Earth in their own youth, had the least of all to say. They knew what was missing outside. The younger ones couldn't really know. Even the best of the books and the pictures and the three dimensional movies can give only a superficial idea of what a living world is like.
"Hugh." Carhill clutched his arm.
"There must be people, somewhere. There have to be. Our race can't be dead."
Hugh McCann looked past him, out at the sky and the clouds of water vapor that swirled up to obscure the sun. The stars, of course, were completely hidden in the daylight.
"If there are any others, Amos, we can be pretty certain they're not on Earth."
"They may have left. They may have gone somewhere else."
"No!" Martha Carhill's face twisted and then went rigid. "There's no one anywhere. There can't be. It's been too long. You saw the stars, Amos—the stars—all wrong, every one of them!"
Her hands came up to her face and she started to cry. Amos crossed over to her and put his arms around her.
Hugh McCann watched them for a moment and then he turned and left them and went out through the locks after the young people. He didn't know what to think. He wished that they had never turned back to Earth at all, that they had kept going, circling around the rim of the galaxy forever.
He went through the outer lock and then down the ramp to the ground.
He stood on the Earth again, for the first time since his early youth. And it was not the same. There was bare rock under his feet and bare rock all around him, gravel and boulders and even fine grained sand. But no dust. No dirt. No trace of anything organic or even ever touched by anything organic.
He had walked too many worlds like this. Too many bare gray worlds with bare gray oceans and clouds of vapor swirling up into the warm air. Too many worlds where there was wind and sound and surf; where there should have been life, but wasn't.
This was just another of those worlds. This wasn't Earth. This was just a lifeless memory of the Earth he had known and loved. For fifty-three years they had clung to the thought of home, of people waiting for them, welcoming them back someday. Fifty-three years, and for how many of those ship-years had Earth lain lifeless like this?
He looked up at the sky and at all the stars that he couldn't see and he cursed them all and cursed time itself and then, bitterly, his own fatuous stupidity.
The people came out of the ship and walked about on the graveled plain, alone or in small groups. They had stopped talking. They seemed too numbed by what they had found to even think, for a while.
Shock, Hugh McCann thought grimly. First hysteria and tears and loud unbelief, and now shock. Anything could come next.
e stood with the warm wind blowing in his face and watched the people. In the bitter mood that gripped him he was amused by their reactions. Some of them walked around aimlessly, but most, those who were active in the various departments, soon started about the routine business of running tests on planetary conditions. They seemed to work without thinking, by force of habit, their faces dazed and uncaring.
Conditioning, Hugh thought. Starting their reports. The reports that they know perfectly well no one will ever read.
He wandered over to where several of the young men were sending up an atmosphere balloon and jotting down the atmospheric constituents as recorded by the instruments.
"How's it going?" he said.
"Earth-norm. Naturally—" The young man flushed.
"Temperature's up though. Ninety-three. And a seventy-seven percent humidity."
He left them and walked down across the rocks to the ocean's edge. Two young girls were down there before him, sampling the water, running both chemical and biological probing tests.
"Hello, Mr. McCann," the taller girl said dully. "Want our report?"
"Found anything?" He knew already that there was nothing to find. If there were life the instruments would have recorded its presence.
"No. Water temperature eighty-six. Sodium chloride four-fifths Earth normal." She looked up, surprised. "Why so low?"
"More water in the ocean, maybe. Or maybe we've had a nova since we were here last."
It was getting late, almost sunset. Soon it would be time for the photographic star-charts to be made. Hugh brought himself up short and smiled bitterly. He too was in the grip of habit. Still, why not? Perhaps they could estimate, somehow, how many millions of years had passed.
Why? What good would it do them to find out?
After a while the sun set and a little later the full moon rose, hazy and indistinct behind the clouds of water vapor. Hugh stared at it, watched it rise higher until it cleared the horizon, a great bloated bulk. Then he sighed and shook his head to clear it and started to work. The clouds were thick. He had to move the screening adjustment almost to its last notch before the vapor patterns blocked out and the stars were bright and unwavering and ready to be photographed. He inserted the first plate and snapped the picture of the stars whose names he knew but whose patterns were wrong, some subtly, some blatantly.
There was something he was overlooking. Some other factor, not taken into account. He developed the first plates and compared them with the star charts of Earth as it had been before they left it, and he shook his head. Whatever the factor was, it eluded him. He went back to work.
"Oh, here you are, Hugh."
He jumped at the sound of Carhill's voice. He had been working almost completely by habit, slowly swinging the telescope across the sky and snapping the plates. And trying to think.
"Why waste time on that?" Carhill added bitterly. "Who's ever going to see our records now?"
Behind Carhill, several of the other old ones nodded. Hugh was surprised that they had managed to come back to the ship without his hearing them. But of course they had come back in at sundown, as usual on a routine check, and now they were gathering to compile their reports. Hugh looked from face to face, wondering if he too was as numb and dazed and haggard appearing as they were. He probably was.
"What do you suggest, Amos?" he said.
"I say there's no use going on," Carhill said flatly. "You've all run your tests. And what have you found? No fossils. Not even a single-celled life form in the ocean. No way even to tell how many millions of years it's been."
"Maybe it hasn't been so long," Haines said. "Maybe something happened here fairly recently, and the people all went to some other system—to one of the Centauri planets, maybe."
Amos Carhill laughed bitterly. "You can say that in the face of the evidence? We know that millions of years have passed. Nothing's the same. Even the tides are three times what they were. It's obvious what happened. The sun novaed. Novaed and cooled. Do you really believe that our race has lasted that long, on some nearby system?"
is voice rose. He glared about at the others. He threw back his head suddenly and laughed, and the laughter echoed and re-echoed off the steel walls.
"I say let's die now!" Carhill cried. "There's no use going on. Hugh was right, as usual. We shouldn't have tried to come back. We've been fools, all these years, thinking we had a world to come home to."
The people muttered, crowded closer. They pushed into the observation room, shoved nearer to it in the outside corridor. They muttered in a rising note of panic as the numbing shock that gripped them gave way.
"Why not die here?" Martha Carhill's voice rose shrill above the sound of her husband's laughter. "We should have died here millions of years ago!"
Hugh McCann looked at her and at Amos and at all the others. He sighed. Why not? Why go on? There was no answer. Even a pragmatist gave up eventually, when the facts were all against him.
He glanced down at the reports on the table. All the routine reports, gathered together into routine form, written up in routine terminology. Reports on an Earth-type planet that just happened to be the Earth itself.
And then, quite suddenly, the obvious, satisfactory answer came to him. The factors clicked into place, and he wondered why he hadn't thought of them long ago. He looked up from the reports, at the people on the verge of panic, and he knew what to say to quiet them. He had the factors now.
"No!" he cried. "You're wrong. There's no reason at all to assume that our race is dead!"
Amos Carhill stopped laughing and stared at him and the others stared also and none of them believed him at all.
"It's simple!" he cried. "Why has so much time passed outside the ship while to us only fifty-three years have gone by?"
"Because we traveled too fast," Carhill said flatly. "That's why."
"Yes," Hugh said softly. "But there's one thing we've been forgetting. What we did, others could do also. Probably lots of expeditions started out after we left, all trying for the speed of light."
They stared at him. Slowly the dazed look died out of their eyes as they realized what he meant, and what the concept might mean to them. The concept of other ships, following them out into time. The concept of other men, also millions of years from the Earth they had left.
"You mean," Carhill said slowly, "that you believe other people got caught in the same trap we did—that there may be others in this time also?"
Hugh nodded. "Why not? Maybe they colonized some of those Earth-type planets we checked on. Anyway, we can look for them."
"No." Carhill shook his head. "If any of them had started after us we would have crossed their paths already. We never have. We never found a trace of any other expedition. Even if there is another, even if there are colonies somewhere, we could spend another fifty years looking."
"Well," Martha Carhill whispered. "Why not? It would give us something to look for."
Hugh McCann glanced around the circle of faces and saw the new hope that came into them, the new belief that sprang into existence so quickly because they wanted to believe. He smiled, somewhat sadly, and picked up the pile of reports and the photographs he had just developed. Then he slipped out of the room, through the crowd outside, away from them and the rising hum of their voices. He didn't need to say anything more. The ship would go on.
She was waiting for him in the corridor. She came up to him and smiled and slipped her arm through his. They walked on together, down the hall past the last of the people.
"I heard what you said, Hugh. You convinced them."
He nodded. "I wonder why it took me so long to think of it."
The voices died away behind them. They were all alone. They rounded a corner where a viewscreen picked up the image of the moon, so familiar, now the only thing that was familiar about this Earth. Nora shivered.
"You were very logical, Hugh. But I didn't believe you."
He glanced around and saw that there was no one near them and that the communicators in this part of the ship were turned off. Only then did he answer her.
"I didn't believe myself, Nora."
They went down the winding ramp that led to the interior of the ship. It too was deserted now. They left the carpeted, muffled corridors and their footsteps rang on the steel plates that lay down the middle of the ship, its heart, where the energy converters were, and the disposal units, and the plant rooms, and the great glass spheres of the hydroponics tanks.
"It's ironic, isn't it?" Nora said slowly. "We left here so long ago, looking for worlds with life, and we come back to find our own world dead."
"It's ironic, all right." He walked along the row of tanks until he came to the one he was searching for, and then he picked up a glass cylinder and filled it from the tank.
"I had to tell them something, Nora. They couldn't have gone on, otherwise."
The bottle was full. He stoppered it and then turned away. They crossed to the nearest lock and he pushed the button that opened it. They waited a few minutes until the door came open, and then they went out, down the ramp to the ground, across the slippery rocks. Even through the clouds there was enough light to see by.
They were approaching the ocean. The surf beat loudly in their ears. The spray was warm against their faces, almost as warm as the night wind.
"Tell me," she said. "You know what really happened, don't you?"
"I think so. I can't really be sure."
They paused on the low ledge where he had stood earlier and watched the girls gather their data for the reports. At their feet the waves washed up to the edges of the tide pools, eddying into and out of them softly. The water looked dark and cold, but they knew that it too was warm.
"There've been lots of changes, and they all fit a pattern," he said. "The temperature. The difference in salt content in the water. The higher tides. Those things could happen for several reasons. But there's only one explanation for the other changes, the ones I found on the star charts."
She waited. The water lapped in and out, reaching almost to where they stood.
"The Earth rotates faster now," he said. "And the stars are nearer. Much nearer than they were."
"How do we know? We exceeded the speed of light. Who could say what continuum that might have put us in? I remember an analogy I read once, in a layman's book on different theories of space-time. '—The future and the past, two branches of a hyperbola, each with the speed of light as its limit—'"
"You mean," she whispered, "that we're not in the future at all? We're in the past—the far past—before there was any life on Earth?"
e looked down at the pools of water at their feet, the lifeless water that according to all their old discarded theories should have been teeming with life. He nodded slowly and lifted the glass cylinder he had brought from the ship and stared at it.
"That bottle," she whispered. "You filled it with bacteria, didn't you?"
"You're mad, Hugh. You can't mean that that bottle is the origin of life on Earth! You can't."
"Maybe this isn't our Earth, Nora. Maybe there are thousands of continuums and thousands of Earths, all waiting for a ship to land someday and give them life."
Slowly he unstoppered the cylinder and knelt down at the water's edge. For a minute he paused, wondering if there were other continuums or only this one, wondering just how deep the paradox lay. Then he tipped the bottle up and poured, and the liquid from the cylinder ran down into the tide pools and eddied there and was lost in the liquid of the ocean. He poured until the bottle was empty and all the single-celled bacteria from the ship's tank mingled with the warm, lifeless waters.
The water temperatures were the same. Everything was the same, and the conditions were very favorable and the bacteria would divide and redivide and keep on dividing for millions of years.
"We'll hold the ship under light speed," he said. "And in a few million years we can drop back here and see how evolution is getting along."
He stood up and she took his hand and moved closer to him. They were both shivering, despite the warmth of the air.
"But how did life originate in the beginning?" she asked suddenly.
Hugh McCann shook his head in the darkness. "I don't know. We've been all over the galaxy and haven't found life anywhere. Perhaps it can't have a natural cause. Perhaps it's always planted. A closed circle from beginning to end."
"But something—someone—must have started the circle. Who?"
He looked down at the empty cylinder that he had dropped at the water's edge and then he looked out at the ocean, lifeless no longer. And once again he shook his head.
"We did, Nora. We're the beginning."
For a long moment their eyes met and held, and then they turned and walked away from the ocean, back toward the ship, and the people. And the moonlight glinted off the empty bottle.

A great suit for team training sessions this Arena kids big logo swimsuit in pink has been printed with a simple and sporty arena logo in the centre.
Constructed with Arena's "Swim Pro" back that provides both support and comfort while still allowing a full range of motion in your arms. As well as this back design, this arena swimsuit also has a regular leg height, meaning there is a comfortable amount of leg coverage without restricting the leg movement too much.
Fitted with a full internal lining to provide extra comfort.
Arena's MaxLife fabric offers an exceptional resistance to the effects of chlorine, meaning this swimsuit will retain both its colour and its shape for much longer than traditional swimwear.

Russia is developing a new multi-purpose light helicopter with the participation of leading European companies, the press office of Russian Helicopters Group (part of state hi-tech corporation Rostec) said on Thursday.
“Leading Russian and European companies are involved in developing the helicopter’s basic systems taking into account international safety standards and requirements. There are plans to eventually arrange the production process at the Ulan-Ude Aircraft Enterprise,” the press office said.
European companies are participating in the helicopter’s development as first-tier suppliers, Russian Helicopters Group said.
“The essence of Western companies’ participation is that the helicopter will get an international type certificate. The rotocraft will be intended for both the Russian and export markets where the basic share of consumer demand is expected,” the press office said.
VR-Technologies design bureau, part of Russian Helicopters Group, is the new light helicopter’s chief developer. Its specialists will be working on the helicopter’s modern outlook and interior jointly with renowned Italian designers, the press office said.
As was reported earlier, Russian Helicopters Group is developing a new light multi-purpose helicopter with a weight of up to two tonnes, with its production scheduled to begin in 2020-2021. The helicopter will feature a coaxial rotor scheme.
The rotocraft will have a maximum take-off weight of 1,600 kilograms and a flight range of 760 km. The helicopter will be able to carry up to five persons or 730 kg of payload. The machine will have a cruising speed of 230 km/h and an operational ceiling of 6,100 meters.

I just installed an app on my phone which I am quite impressed by, so I thought to start a thread to share interesting apps.
This one is available on Android and iPhone. It's from Cornell university, and it's for bird identification. I installed it because a friend is going to Guatemala for a holiday that will include some bird watching. Anyway, the app is small, but then you need to data packs for different regions that are between 100mb and 1gb. It's better for American (N & S) birds (includes range maps) but it still seems pretty good for the UK at a quick glance.
You can browse birds by type, but it's strength is bird identification. Either answer a very few question (where, when, how big, what colours, what was it doing) and it comes back with a range of images of candidate birds. I tried it on a Egyptian goose and it was the second bird it suggested. The other way is via taking or using an existing photo. I haven't tried this yet.
N.B. I am most distinctly not a birder/twitcher, so I can't say if it's a good app to the practices birdwatcher.
Edit: I tried the photo id and it works pretty well. I had taken a photo of some cormorants on a boat because - cormorants are cool. They were some distance away, so very small. I zoomed into the most distinctive profile, which was highly pixelated but .....tada! It got it in one.

Rich: I want to talk about this idea that is super important, the stories that we tell ourselves, about ourselves, and how we get caught up in these narratives that don’t serve you. Where do these stories come from and how we can decouple that narrative and begin the process of telling ourselves a new story.
And I would keep coming back to the line: “The problem with you is that you are you.” Because that Lucy voice had been so dominant in my early life, I really credit my meditation training for basically having a different relationship to Lucy. Instead of on the one hand believing her completely, you are right Lucy, you are always right. Where on the other hand hating her, and fearing her and being shamed and all that. I realized that I had two ways of approaching her. One was, Hi Lucy, I see you and the other was to Chill out Lucy.
Rich: Packed into that is the idea of becoming the Observer as opposed to identifying with that voice as being part and parcel of who you are, like wrapping it up in your identity.
Rich: It’s the negative bias. We’re hard wired, we’re predisposed to identify these negative things that occur to us and then choose to string these together and create this story of who we are, how we got here and what’s going to happen to us in the future.
Rich: I think about the story I tell myself, about myself. But also the story I tell about the other people that I encounter throughout my day, and that story is generally reflective of my own state of mind and how I feel about myself. If I feel good about myself, I’m probably going to tell a more flattering version…But when you really analyze it, you realize over the course of your life, billions of things have happened to you. Billions! And we extract out these 10 things that happen over the course of our life and we identify with them so deeply, so thoroughly that they infect and invade how we see ourselves and every decision we make. How we interact with other people. What words that come out of our mouth…Its amazing how pervasive it is. Its so cemented that the idea of even looking at that or being critical of the veracity of that, let alone reframing it, is something that I think that most people don’t even begin to engage in.
I relish those spontaneous times when I decide to stroll with my wife and dog through the park near our home in Amsterdam. Or when I take time to read a novel for fun. Or when I stop for a lovely glass of wine along an outdoor cafe along the canal because it seems like the thing to do. How about just taking time to take time?
Ah, the infinite moments to enjoy, presented to us on the conveyor belt of our existence….
There are times when making no sense makes sense. Just being, hanging out, following the whim, the momentary inclination. How long can you indulge yourself, though, purely, without hesitation, doubt, or a troubled thought about what it should be troubled about…?
Stop! Do something else. Do nothing. Try it. Anything. It’s not about our doing.
It started with these words, Gustave Flaubert’s words in his letter to Louise Colet. And spiraled from there. A middle aged man crippled with analysis, dragging his lame foot behind him as he trudges ahead.
I run the math. 10 years in this house. 365 days a year. Deduct 500 days for vacation, travel, walking the floors au naturel. Round it. We’re talking 3000 discrete events. 3000 discrete events.
And as I sit pecking this post out, I couldn’t tell you if the drawer handle is circular or square, platinum color or brass, a smooth or a rough finish.
But for 3000 events, mostly mornings, with a few afternoon and evenings sprinkled in, I open the drawer, peer in, and stare at my socks. The first big decision of the day.
Color? Must match the pants. And because socks are put on first (Why? Just because) the decision is momentous – the first domino tripping the shirt, suit, tie and shoe selection. Like an algorithmic equation forced on a poet, I’m paralyzed by the complexity. A lab rat for Barry Schwartz’s Paradox of Choice.
And yet, and still, the pursuit — that driving thing called art — hounds you, and you don’t know any rest. And, determined to make a way out of no way every day, you rise up and you hit it, own it, go into your studio… Art is a demanding mistress.

Today, more than ever, advances in technology have made it easier to stay in touch and search for information at any time and place. While having this type of access at our fingertips makes life easier, driving at the same time can yield devastating consequences.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 3,000 people are killed every year from distraction-affected crashes. With more than 300 million wireless customers in the United States and the growing number of services designed to keep people constantly connected, distracted driving has become a common occurrence and a national problem.
Common distractions include sending or receiving text messages or e-mails, eating or drinking, reading, grooming, talking on the phone or using other handheld electronic devices such as videos or GPS navigation. They all endanger the safety of drivers and other motorists. The most alarming of these distractions is texting, as it involves all three types of distractions – manual, visual and cognitive – at once.
Texting while driving is dangerous! In the time it takes to look down and send a text, it is estimated that you have traveled the length of a football field. Shockingly, statistics also show that texting while driving is equally as dangerous as operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Like alcohol and driving, texting and driving do not mix!
Earlier this year, I met with State Senator Maria Sachs to show my support to end distracted driving. She proposed a bill that would make it a moving violation for drivers to use anything but hands-free devices behind the wheel. I firmly believe tougher legislation is necessary, but it will not eliminate the problem. Our efforts must include education and awareness to address the blatant dangers associated with distracted driving.
According to the NHSTA, the highest incidence of distracted driving involves young drivers under the age of 20. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue has developed a program to educate our more than 62,000 teenagers enrolled in Broward County public schools. The program includes a public service announcement written and directed by local high school seniors. It demonstrates the inherent dangers of this common practice, specifically texting and emailing. I believe this peer-to peer influence will be one of the greatest components of this program.
There is no doubt distracted driving poses a great threat to people traveling on our roadways. The Broward Sheriff’s Office is committed to combating this problem and helping bring this dangerous trend to an end. Every time you drive, before you reach for your cell phone, I ask you to take a minute and think – is this message really that important? Turn off the phone or put it out of reach. Don’t take chances with your life or the life of anyone else.
For more information about BSO’s efforts to end distracted driving, call 954-831-8902.
Certain Broward cities and towns maintain their own police departments however, BSO does provide communications and dispatch services to some of these cities.

One of the pure joys of travel is the food. Yes, that's right - food is a window to culture. Think about it - from the night markets of Southeast Asia to the traditional recipes of, well, any culture, what people make and eat is a product of terroir, seasons, climate, history, and more. One of my favorite books about the food of France is The Whole Fromage, which takes readers on a trail of the most interesting kind - that of cheese. What I loved about that book was the interest in small cheese producers, and how they work.
Well, I've got a great new book to share with you today that follows along that same vein of small food producers, culture, terroir, and more. Small Batch: Pickles, Cheese, Chocolate, Spirits and the Return of Artisanal Food is written by Suzanne Cope, and explores four main areas of artisanal creativity in the US. It's a gem, packed full of history, interesting people, and stories of entrepreneurs, making their way in a nation that has gone to conglomerates and processed food.
Suzanne Cope definitely has the research and writing chops to write well about this subject. She's an author and scholar of food studies and narrative with a PhD in Adult Learning and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction. In addition to Small Batch: Pickles, Cheese, Chocolate, Spirits, and the Return of Artisanal Food (October 2014, Rowman & Littlefield), Cope has recent and upcoming academic, journalistic, and creative publications in XOJane, Time.com, Italian American Review, New Directions in Teaching and Learning, Edible Boston, New Plains Review, Foliate Oak, and more. Recent conferences contributions include Association of Writers and Writing Programs, Northeast Modern Language Association, Food + Tech Connect/ Cookbook Conference, and Association for the Study of Food and Society. She lives in Brooklyn and teaches writing at Manhattan College and University of Arkansas, Monticello MFA Program.
Small Batch: Pickles, Cheese, Chocolate, Spirits, and the Return of Artisanal Food is also an ode to times when we made our own food - and how to find our way back. It's about supporting local farmers nd food artisans, of finding the pleasure in taste, in learning the history of our food and who makes it for us, of honoring the craft of small batches.
Cope is an extraordinary writer, one who can easily combine history and current stories and weave them into an enticing narrative. While I half expected some recipes in this book (I do can my own jams and pickles), what I got was so much more. It's a glimpse into an ever-changing landscape of regulations, of marketing and cooperation, of passionate people creating amazing foods. It's a story of cheese (and cows), of chocolate (and fair trade), of pickles and history, of spirits and process. Her last chapter, Defining the Movement, One Bite at a Time, is an interesting encapsulation of the artisanal revolution sweeping our nation - and perhaps, changing the way we eat, bite by bite. The book is inspiring, educational, and makes you hungry. Highly recommended!
Small Batch: Pickles, Cheese, Chocolate, Spirits and the Return of Artisanal Food uses interviews with artisans from around the country to assert a definition of the (often over-used) term “artisanal” and paint the landscape of the new small batch food revolution. It also gives a history of these industries- and small batch food in general in this country – and looks at a number of issues surrounding small batch food production, such as the idea of terroir, the power of narrative in the valuation of a product, and how many of these new foods have looked to the past to define themselves, even as these products are created for a decidedly modern consumer.
Along with so many other folk, I had also discovered canning, cheesemaking, urban gardening, charcuterie, and other “traditional” food sourcing, preparation, and preservation methods and had seen how the trend was gaining momentum. I had also started seeing the over- and, in my opinion, mis-use of the term “artisanal” and “small batch” in corporate marketing and wanted to help define this term in a way that included participant research from those who were actually involved with small batch food production. My supportive editor Ken Albala was also instrumental in seeing this vision and giving me the green light to criss cross the country to chat with picklers and chocolate makers and distillers and cheesemakers around the country.
What was the most surprising thing you discovered, while researching Small Batch?
I was surprised at the business acumen of so many of these producers. I was expecting high quality food and an expertise in their industry, of course, but was excited to see that so many also had a strong business background and were using this to help build an economically and environmentally sustainable business.
More research - what were the joys and challenges of researching the book?
The joys were, unsurprisingly, meeting these great entrepreneurs and often sampling their products. I got to travel all around New England, across New York State, and down the west coast from Portland to Los Angeles. I also interviewed other people on the phone. People were so passionate and knowledgeable, I couldn’t help but get excited. I was convinced by almost every artisan that I should be writing a book on their industry alone, there was so much to say and so many interesting stories to share.
One of the biggest challenges, besides bringing together such a large amount of research into a cohesive narrative, was finding artisans. I learned – or at least was reminded – that the small batch food scene around the country is still very regional. I was so used to relying on the internet to find out anything – a great pickler in Portland, Oregon, say – but found that it was so much more reliable to ask friends or do on the ground research to really find the interesting stories that were worth telling.
How can people find artisanal, small batch creators?
Many of the entrepreneurs I spoke to started at their local farmer’s market – so that is a great place to look. Also, local grocery chains are, more and more, carrying and featuring local products. For example, Bi-Rite Market in the San Francisco area is a local chain that carries many small batch products and Whole Foods has people around the country whose job it is to source regionally produced, small batch products. There are also often food pop up markets that happen from time to time in various cities – I’m hosting a few for my book events, in fact, and am inviting local artisans to sell there.
I am working on a couple of projects. I’ve been working on a food memoir for awhile and hope to finish it soon – that was inspired by my Italian and rural American upbringing and the importance of food in my journey to where I am now. I also am interested in researching the ways that small batch food is helping cities around the world become more environmentally and economically sustainable – looking at the small batch ethos I’ve found common among many of these producers, but telling the stories of entrepreneurs in other cities and countries who aren’t often thought of as being on the forefront of artisanal food.
I also teach writing and literature at the college level, and am committed to that. I am starting to teach seminars that combine food and writing and look forward to more opportunities to teach in food studies programs. My non-food related research looks at the theory behind teaching writing and innovative ways to approach my role in the college classroom.
I just want to thank the many artisans who gave their time and knowledge (and sometimes samples of their products!) to help my research. Almost everyone spoke to their business being a true labor of love – only a handful of the artisans were making real money yet from their business, and many still worked a day job. I hope that this book helps to celebrate the hard work they are putting in to help keep these food traditions alive and address some of the environmental issues that are plaguing our modern food system today.
Wash and chop your greens, drain lightly – its great if they are still a bit wet. Set aside. Meanwhile sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil (on medium/ medium low) until mostly soft. Add the damp greens and toss with tongs for a minute or so, depending on how hearty the greens are that you are using (longer for kale, for example). When the greens are just starting to wilt, add the chopped pickles, brine, and mustard and mix, while the pickle juice steams the greens and creates a sauce. Add salt, pepper, and maybe even red chili flakes to taste.
Note: We received an ARC of this book from the publisher to facilitate the review - thank you!

And while prices are now rising strongly, and the market continues to tighten, the gloom in the shale patch has not ended. “Our customers are increasingly focused on cash flow, and clearly, the rush to add production is over. Oil and gas companies are delaying spending decisions as late as possible,” one more respondent from an oilfield service firm said in the Dallas Fed survey.
Other problems are also adding to the downbeat assessment, including low natural gas prices, access to capital, debt, pipeline bottlenecks, and operational problems related to the “parent-child” well problem, according to Standard Chartered. “We believe the survey results continue to support our view of a [quarter-on-quarter] slowdown in US shale oil output growth,” the investment bank wrote in a report. As evidence of this pressure, Vanguard Natural Resources, a medium-sized E&P, just declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in two years.
The company’s struggles could be indicative of a broader problem in the industry. “We believe there is an ongoing problem of high debt across the industry which, when combined with an investor focus on returns within cash flow, is proving to be an extremely challenging operating environment,” Standard Chartered concluded.
But that is cold comfort to the small driller in Texas getting squeezed by debt, constraints on labor and pipelines, and the heavier presence from the oil majors.
Kind of sad and certainly sobering. Shale is so American -- so many hopes and dreams. We invented the technology to bring it up from 10k + feet under high pressure.
I see us going increasingly after diffuse oil -- not the oil of bonanza reservoirs, as when I was a kid. Today's oil is tough and expensive to get at. It's the "source oil" that peculates upward with enough time and becomes trapped under dome rock formations.
Black gold over the years has seen changing net value and benefit. We have seen many upsides from burning it, but downsides are are much in evidence. It is not a healthful source of energy as much as it is a convenience. We fritter it away in play as much in work, and do not fully realize the price that we pay for it. The price needs to include a compromised planet and national security.
We see what next steps are needed in energy. It's a transition away from fossil fuel. The only question is how quickly will we get there.
I have always argued that US shale oil industry is not a profitable one. If it was judged by standard criteria of economics and profit that govern conventional oil companies, it would have been declared bankrupt years ago given the hundreds of billions of dollars it owes Wall Street.
That is why a trend is taking hold of the US shale oil industry, namely, oil majors edging out their smaller independent competitors because they have the financial stamina to stay longer. Poor financial returns, loss of interest from investors, pressure to cut spending and return cash to shareholders and encroachment from the majors are tightening the screws on smaller drillers. Deep pockets for manufacturing oil and gas have taken over the patch here.
All these issues confirm reports by numerous authoritative sources of a slowdown in US oil production and a projected production decline of 1-2 million barrels a day (mbd) mostly from US shale oil production by 2020. This could translate into a US production range of 10.0-11.0 mbd in 2019 and 11.0-12.0 mbd in 2020.
Fear mongering is what I get out of this writers stories. 1 person he talked with and based this story on?

Yeah! Scream! Scream! Forget about everything!
Wipe away your tears and scream! Let’s scream ourselves hoarse!
wakaranai hou ga wakuwaku desho?
Let’s speed up and go and live!
But isn’t it more exciting to not know?
Go and be mad in this mad night.
Let’s stand on it with our own two feet and go and enjoy ourselves!
You’ve just gotta enjoy yourself!
Thank you for the translation of this song! I must say though, this song is rather lovely, so full of energy!

Summary: Statistical engineering emphasizes developing and leveraging statistical methods and tools to help identify and solve large, complex problems. Within NASA, these large, complex problems are known as the agency’s "Grand Challenges." Research in planetary entry, descent, and landing technologies is one of these challenges and is an expensive, resource-intensive endeavor that benefits from the rigorous approach of statistical engineering. This article highlights the contributions of statistical engineering to the Mars Science Laboratory mission and, more generally, planetary entry, descent, and landing research. For example, a new approach utilizing response surface methods was developed for characterizing a complex measurement system. In addition, we reflect on areas where early implementation of a statistical engineering approach can increase the overall impact of the research objectives.

"HAYABUSA" experiment research on new engineering technologies necessary for returning planetary samples (sample return) to earth including electrical propulsion, autonomous navigation, sampler and reentry capsule.
precious clues to understand the origin and evolution of the Solar System.
Bringing back a sample from a celestial body in the Solar System is called "Sample Return." "HAYABUSA" is a probe to verify the practicality of acquired technology developed to archive future full-scale "sample return missions."
"HAYABUSA' was launched aboard the M-V Launch Vehicle on May 9,2003. It was accelerated by a swing-by of the Earth in May 2004 and reached its target Asteroid Itokawa on September 12,2005, after traveling about 2 billion kilometers. in September and October that year, "HAYABUSA" completed the most remote-sensing and measurement of the geometry of Itokawa and made two landings in November to collect a sample from Itakawa.
Through scientific observations performed during "HAYABUSA's" stay on Itokawa various knowledge was obtained including on its gravity and surface condition. The achievements of "HAYABUSA" were featured in the scientific magazine, "Science."
Experimental research on new engineering technologies necessary for returning planetary samples (sample return) to earth including electrical propulsion, autonomous navigation, sampler and reentry capsule.
At 15:22 on May 19. 2004 (JST), HAYABUSA approached most closely to the earth at an altitude of 3,700 km over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and performed the powered swing-by by accelerating itself with ion engines. At that time, three cameras (one telecamera and two wide-angle cameras) and one near-infrared spectrometer, which were designed to be used for navigation and scientific observations, photographed the Moon and Earth, while simultaneously performing calibration and performance evaluation of the instruments. In September 2005, the explorer arrived at the asteroid Itokawa about 300 million km away from the earth. In November 2005, it successfully landed on Itokawa. In April 2007, HAYABUSA started full cruising operation to return to earth.
Scientific observations were made over the asteroid Itokawa from mid-September through end-November 2005. Four observation instruments from altitudes of 20km to 3km observed Itokawa’s shape, terrain, surface altitude distribution, reflectance (spectrum), mineral composition, gravity, major element composition, etc. The observations provided us with much new information to study the asteroid formation process. By revealing the detailed figure of the most common small asteroid, we acquired important guidelines for future explorations of all types of asteroids.
The scientific observation results were published in a special edition of the U.S. scientific journal "Science," a first for Japanese explorers.

Khaled Assar, 26 years old, has been listed in the team named by the Egyptian Table Tennis Federation for the Liebherr 2019 World Championship, play commencing in Budapest on Sunday 21st April.
Competing in the recently concluded Seamsaster 2019 ITTF Challenge Plus Oman Open, he was beaten in the opening round by the top seed, Sweden’s Mattias Falck (11-4, 11-5, 12-10, 13-11).
However, the important factor is that he progressed through the qualification stage; in the first round, it was tough draw to say the least; Mattias Falck finished proceedings the runner up.
Now looking ahead to Budapest, Khalid Assar is confident he can reach the later rounds even though his journey will start, as in Muscat, in the preliminary stage.
In Muscat it was a strong field, in Budapest it will be even stronger; a fact of which the young man from Cairo is more than well aware.
Presently on the men’s world ranking list, Khalid Assar is named at no.182; in Budapest to achieve his goals it will be a tough task.

... Doctor poaching costs poor countries Rich countries poach doctors and nurses that poor nations spend millions to train, taxing already underfunded, overstretched hospitals in Africa and elsewhere, according to a report released Wednesday. The International Organization for Migration, a private group that often works closely with the United Nations on immigration and refugee issues, also said in its report that the practice means Europe and the United States get health workers at a bargain. The IOM estimated that it would have cost rich nations about $184,000 (euro141,266.79) to train each of the estimated 3 million professionals educated in poor countries now working in the developed world, for a "staggering" total savings of $552 billion (euro423.8 billion).
Poor nations, meanwhile, spend $500 million (euro383.8 million) a year training health workers, according to the report presented at a two-day meeting to discuss the impact of the migration of Africans.
"Emigration of health care professionals is a cause of particular concern for Africa with developed countries deliberately recruiting health personnel from the region, partly to offset domestic shortages," said the report, authored by Ndioro Ndiaye, deputy director general of the International Organization for Migration.
The International Organization for Migration said 21,000 Nigerian doctors are working in the United States, and more doctors from Benin work in France than in their own country.
In all, the report said, 23,000 African health professionals emigrate every year, 'leaving their own stretched health service in dire straits."
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said the "brain drain" affects all countries, but hits Africa harder.
"The fact that we have limited resources also increases the relative cost of education and training. So when skilled professionals migrate we are doubly affected," Meles said.
It is estimated that by 2025 one in 10 Africans will work outside their own country.

To demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of the leaf.
To do the experimenet, soak small pieces of filter paper in 5% solution of cobalt chloride or cobalt nitrate and dry them over a flame. The cobalt paper is deep blue when dried, but in contact with moisture they turn pink. Place two dried cobalt papers, one on the upper and the other on the lower surface of a thick, healthy leaf. Cover them completely with glass slides or with a Jeaf-clasp and clamp them properly to the leaf. Then quickly seal the sides with vaseline to prevent atmospheric moisture from coming in contact with the papers.
It will be seen that the cobalt paper on the lower surface of the leaf turns pink sooner than the one on the upper surface and this change in colour takes place within a few minutes.
The leaf transpires water more vigorously from the lower surface than from the upper. This is due to the larger number of stomata on the lower surface than on the upper.

Returned in the dark at 19:45 for a roundtrip time of 13 hours.
Man, that was a long day with post holing on the way out, but still some fun turns in the couloir.
Picture 10: It's variable from hard pack to pretty nice powder on top of hard slab.
Picture 18: Post holing on the way out. Nice !!!
The Colorado folks have been going after the 14ers the last week or so.
After studying the Snotel sites we saw that we had quite some good freezes in that area overnight. So we decided to give it a try. There is always the possibility to drop the East face in case we do not like what we see in the couloir.
We started at 7AM at the trailhead.
Picture 6: The upper ridges were quite windy and made for a relatively slow going.
Picture 7: Man…. Wasn’t that supposed to be a nice spring outing??
It was pretty cold and windy at the top.
Picture 9: What the heck is up with that road block?
Thanks Scott to bring up the idea.

Was this the "Pentagon Pundits' Problem" all over again?
UPDATE on May 20, 2008: The Infinite Mind has added an Underwriting page after the recent criticism and added fuller disclosure about a guest.
NPR is a complicated news entity.
It produces 59 hours of original news programming each week heard across the public radio system, the best-known of which are Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Then, it distributes 18 shows such as Car Talk, The Diane Rehm Show, and Fresh Air, which local public radio stations or independent producers create without any direct NPR editorial control.
And then there are other shows on NPR's three channels on Sirius: NPR, NPR Talk, and NPR Now. Some shows are produced by NPR, some are simply distributed by NPR and some are independently produced.
But the average listener is pleasantly (and should be) oblivious to these business distinctions. If a listener hears a show on a public radio station, the assumption often is that NPR is responsible for the program. Sometimes that's accurate; sometimes not.
So it's no surprise that NPR was held responsible when Slate.com posted a piece on May 6 pointing out conflicts of interest and lack of balance in a March show, "Prozac Nation: Revisited" on The Infinite Mind. The Infinite Mind airs on one of NPR's Sirius channels.
Slate: An episode of The Infinite Mind called "Prozac Nation: Revisited" featured four experts who have financial ties to the makers of antidepressants — something that public radio listeners weren't told. Also, they weren't informed that the show receives money from Prozac manufacturer Eli Lilly. Paging Alicia Shepard!
Not specifically, but it is the latest tangle to arise concerning the undisclosed ties of "experts" on the air.
On March 26, The Infinite Mind ran "Prozac Nation: Revisited," an hour-long piece questioning the science behind high-profile news stories that reported a link between anti-depressants and suicide or violence. "There really is no science that we were able to find that if you take anti-depressants, you will be more violent," Bill Lichtenstein, who created the show 10 years ago, told me.
But Slate health writers, Shannon Brownlee and Jeanne Lenzer, disagreed. "The body of evidence on this issue is conflicting and there are huge battles in the medical arena on this," said Lenzer.
The Slate authors say the issue is more complex than the show indicated. There were four experts on "Prozac Nation," and all dismissed the idea that these medications could affect suicidal or violent behavior. "They only offered a singular viewpoint," said Lenzer. "They [the show] should have dug up different sources and independent sources."
But more importantly, the show didn't disclose that the guests and host had some financial ties to makers of anti-depressants. "To me, it's not terribly relevant whether there's a clear scientific link between anti-depressants and suicide," said Gary Schwitzer, publisher of HealthNewsReview, an independent website that evaluates health coverage. "Bill Lichtenstein does good work. But he should have disclosed the financial ties."
One of the guests was Peter Pitts, a former Food and Drug Administration official. The show's host doesn't mention that Pitts is senior vice president for global health affairs at a public relations firm. That firm represents drug companies that make anti-depressants. Lichtenstein acknowledged that Pitts' business ties should have been mentioned. He said Pitts didn't disclose them while the Website Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, where Pitts is president, says he did.
Lichtenstein is correct about Talk of the Nation. Pitts appeared on the show in June 2005, one year after joining the public relations firm Manning Selvage & Lee, according to the firm. The call-in show identified him only as with the Pacific Research Institute, which lists itself as a non-profit educational charity promoting free market policy solutions.
Another issue is The Infinite Mind's funding. According to Lichtenstein, he takes no more than 15 percent of the budget from any one sector. In 2006, he told me, the program got $100,000 from Eli Lily, which makes the anti-depressant, Prozac.
All that said: Is The Infinite Mind an NPR show?
Technically, it depends on what you mean by an NPR show. The Infinite Mind is distributed several ways. Show creator Lichtenstein independently produces and distributes the program to 300 public radio stations and also offers podcasts. In addition, NPR has a contractual relationship with Lichtenstein to run the program on Sirius' NPR Now.
"We acquire the show only for our satellite service," said Margaret Low Smith, vice president for programming who handles program acquisition for NPR. Acquired shows are programs that are not produced by NPR employees.
For example Fresh Air, On the Media and Car Talk are "acquired" from outside producers exclusively for NPR to distribute to its member stations. Those programs carry the NPR brand. The Infinite Mind is in another class because NPR does not distribute it to member stations so the show doesn't carry the NPR brand.
"Nonetheless," said Smith, "if we are going to put a show up on our Sirius service, our expectation is it will live up to NPR standards and if it doesn't, it can become an issue."
When NPR distributes a show produced by non-NPR employees --whether it comes from a member station or an independent producer — the contractual agreement says that each show must follow NPR standards and practices. "We are very careful about the shows we select for Sirius and it matters a lot to us that those shows live up to the highest journalistic standards," said Smith.
Smith said NPR is reviewing this particular episode of The Infinite Mind.
No matter what NPR finds, a few things should happen. On NPR's website listing "popular public radio shows," NPR should make it clear which are distinctly NPR-produced shows and which ones are not. For instance, the site lists Prairie Home Companion and provides a link, even though the popular show is produced and distributed by American Public Media, a competing public radio service.
The Infinite Mind, particularly since it deals in the controversial world of science and medicine, should include information on its website about how it is funded. It should also add Peter Pitts' public relations job to the link for the "Prozac Nation" episode and to any related transcripts.
Being upfront about real or potential financial conflicts of interest is key to establishing credibility. Financial associations don't mean that experts should necessarily be disqualified as commentators, but the public must be told about them.
With the Internet, it is much easier for news operations to be transparent, and they should take advantage of the ability to be more transparent if they ever want to win back the public's respect and trust.

We’re all familiar with the obvious changes northern-latitude trees go through as winter approaches, but did you know that there’s more to a tree’s seasonal changes than autumn’s brightly-colored foliage?
Researchers at the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) study the both the external and internal structure of trees, and FPL’s Center for Wood Anatomy Research notes in the Wood Handbook that changing temperatures affect far more than the crimson and orange hues of fall.
When a tree grows, the wood is produced one layer of cell divisions at a time — but we do know from experience that in many woods, large groups of cells are produced at the same time, and these groups act together to serve the tree.
Transverse sections of woods showing types of growth rings. Ring development in softwoods ranges from no transition (A) to an abrupt transition between earlywood and late wood (C). Hardwoods (D-F) exhibit a similar range. The arrows delimit growth periods when present.
These collections of cells produced over the same time interval are known as growth increments. Because of the tree’s internal biological processes, these increments are arranged into layers. More commonly, these layers are referred to as growth rings.
In temperate portions of the world (and anywhere else with distinct, regular seasonality) trees form their wood in annual growth increments. All of the wood produced in one growing season is organized together into the recognizable, functional entity of the growth ring. In many tropical woods however, growth rings are not evident, as their climate zones lack seasonality.
Woods that form distinct growth rings, and this includes most woods that are likely to be used as engineering materials in North America, show three fundamental patterns within each growth ring: no change in cell pattern across the ring; a gradual reduction of the inner diameter of conducting elements from the earlywood to the latewood; and a sudden and distinct change in the inner diameter of the conducting elements across the ring.
The orientation of these rings can effect the tensile strength and elasticity of a wood product, and industry professionals must take this into consideration when deciding how a tree should be used.
In addition, most know that by counting the annual rings, researchers can determine the age of the tree, but analyzing growth rings can also tell us about the environmental conditions present when they were forming, including moisture levels in the soil and air, temperature, and sunlight.
In larger trees, annual rings can represent decades, if not centuries, of growth.
Abnormal rings can also be linked to traumatic events in the tree’s past, like forest fires, disease, or climate events, and the rings become not only a record of the life of the individual tree, but of the forest and environment as a whole. Many other disciplines, like archaeology, can use this information (known as dendrochronology) to support their own research, making wood one of the best record keepers on the planet.
For more information, please see Chapter 3 of The Wood Handbook, Wood as an Engineering Material.

An energized and revitalized "hate-crimes" measure (actually, left over from the Clinton regime) passed in the House by a 24 vote margin (223 to 199 ). This bill was an amendment to HR 3132 (the "Children's Safety Act") and extends "protection" to people victimized on the basis of sexual orientation and gender by including them into the already existing federal hate-crime legislation.
I do not see how this subdividing of crime victims even further into "special categories" will help serve our justice system. Clearly, it rejects the concept of equal protection under the law that our justice system (supposedly) searches for.
All violent crimes against people are motivated by hate. This piece of legislation, like all prior "hate-crime" legislation, is saying that some victims are "more entitled" to protection than others. Oh, really? Why should this be? Does this make sense? Of course not. This makes no sense, at all. Nada. Zip.
The thought police are getting stronger every day, and our rights to free speech are being curtailed. If you don't agree with the homosexual agenda, be careful of what you say...or what you think.

When I first saw the new Dior Beauty spring line with the scented nail polishes, I thought how cool! And then I thought, $19 – I don’t think so. I stumbled across some great Revlon scented polishes at ULTA. I got bubble gum and beach. They both smell great. Beach has that great suntan oil/ ocean smell. I did not put a topcoat on until the scent wore off a couple of days later. They cost around $4.99 each, but Revlon was buy 2 get 1 free. So, with my ULTA coupon I got three polishes for $7.00! The blue glitter polish (radiant) is pretty, but no way near the same quality as a Deborah Lippmann glitter polish.

Sharing with the world faith journeys through Life Shapes, authentic Christian living, and communities of Faith.
These days there is a lot of talk about the less fortunate and especially the oppressed. It’s very clear from Scripture that as Christian’s we are to defend, and stand against the oppression that we see. To be clear, however, any stand that we make needs to follow biblical principles, not the rights that the world has made up. Unfortunately, following biblical principles is not how the world wants Christians to stand against oppression.

The corsair Simon Boccanegra has been elected Doge of Genoa thanks to the assistance of Paolo Albiani. He hopes that in this position the patrician Jacopo Fiesco will no longer be able to refuse him the hand of his daughter Maria, Simon’s sweetheart and the mother of his daughter. When Maria dies, Jacopo swears to take revenge on Simon unless the latter hands over his granddaughter to him. However, after being put in the care of a nurse, the young girl has disappeared.
The fate of Simon’s daughter is explained 25 years later. We learn that she has grown up in the Grimaldi household as the foundling Amelia, and has now fallen in love with the patrician Gabriele Adorno. Simon seeks her hand in marriage for Paolo, who in the meantime has become the Doge’s chancellor. However, when father and daughter recognize one another, Simon abandons this plan. Paolo is enraged, and arranges for Amelia to be abducted, a plot which is foiled by Gabriele. Whilst the senate is in session, he rushes into the council chamber intending to accuse Simon of instigating the abduction. However, Amelia throws herself between them. Simon suspects that Paolo was behind the abduction, and orders him to curse the wrongdoer. Paolo takes revenge by putting poison in Simon’s goblet. Gabriele is also determined to take the Doge’s life, since Paolo has led him to believe that the latter is Amelia’s lover. Once again, Amelia intervenes, and reveals to Gabriele that she is in fact Simon’s daughter. When the patricians approach determined to overthrow the Doge, Gabriele sides with Simon. The uprising is put down, and Paolo condemned to death. However, his poison is already starting to take effect. As he dies, Simon is reconciled with Jacopo when the latter learns that Amelia is his granddaughter.

I know of only one consistent way for auto sales associates to start earning real money. This way is available to any associate who has the insight to hear and recognize a career-defining moment when it comes.
Here is how this defining moment usually happens. You get up one day, like all others, and go do what you’ve always done or what seems popular with the herd or huddle. Then something comes along and slams into your status quo like a defensive end into a quarterback.
The funny thing about defining moments is you can’t plan for them so you usually can’t see them coming. We don’t see them coming because our habits, often unproductive and unprofitable for us, tend to blind and deafen us to change.
That’s right. If you want to make successful living selling cars, leave the up traffic to those who’ll settle for less. Nationally, just 5 percent of auto sales associates make a living taking ups. Instead, plan now to go after the business residing in your existing customer base.
A dealership’s customer database is the most under-capitalized source of business in very dealership in America. Ninety percent of the customers a dealership engages will never hear from that dealership or that sales associate again, creating a rich opportunity for any associate who wants to chart their future for a profitable life selling cars.
See if the numbers don’t speak for themselves. When I recently spoke to a group of 100 Midwest auto sales associates, of the 40 of them having been in the business for five years or more, only seven of them were making really good income – and they were doing that without taking ups! These guys had learned the secret to successful careers in auto sales I’m sharing today.
The average household has three drivers, each a potential customer. The average customer will own 12 vehicles in his or her lifetime. That one household represents 36 potential sales for someone.
Fresh ups carry low grosses, tend to be tough on CSI and earn them only mini commissions.
30 percent of every customer in your database has someone in their family or among their friends and associates who’s going to buy a car within 90 days, according to Joe Verde. Go after them!
My defining moment came after training at the dealership and trainer said that this is how all before you prospected for business, friends, relatives and ups.
Decided those paths were so worn they are now trenches. After some research found a very lucrative credit union market. Started credit union car buying service.
Great comments! Thanks for contributing to the discussion. The problem is that we as an industry are willing to hire people who want to stand around most of the day, catch a quick up or two, and make a few hundred bucks. Like Chip said below, there just isn’t any excuse for this with the tools that are available to us. We need to focus on hiring people who want a career and not just a job, and then we need to teach them and train them how…there’s also no excuse for us not to do our part as managers.
When I saw that Edward Shaffer had commented, I made a beeline here to read what he would contribute... I was not disappointed. I have a high level of respect for Mr. Shaffer's experience and professionalism, and reading what he posted as a comment is essentially as true a reason for the cause of what I commented on, and the driving force behind what Patrick Kelly created this article about. I would like to add one more facet to what Ed commented about; when you create an organizational development plan around specialization of task execution by those who are most suited for the role, inevitably you end of saving money as an organization because you are no longer paying somebody for the execution of a task they are simply not doing. Plus, specialization allows you to hire the least expensive resources to get a particular type of work done properly.
Follow up is great but if that store has a very high turnover rate as most stores do then what the customer gets is "Mr. Customer the person that sold you your car no longer works here but......"
The basic underlying reason for this apparent lack of motivation is a case of "can't do" vs. "won't do". It is not from lack of want that many sales consultants fail to make the most of the opportunities within their current customer database. It is the direct reflection of their personality profiles and the discomfort produced by these activities.
Most sales consultants are hunters and thrive on the immediate and tangible reward of the kill. What you are describing here is a farming activity which takes time, effort and patience to produce results. Prospecting the client base is simply a foreign concept to the hunter.
For example, although I was a proficient sales person in my day, I neither saw the benefit nor felt comfortable with simple follow up such as calling clients on their birthday. It basically feels insincere and disingenuous to me...with my personality profile...to perform these types of relationship building tasks. In other words, it is just not "natural".
The underlying concept of seeking business from within your client database is a sound principle. My belief is that it is the responsibility of the dealership to create business opportunities for the hunters. What we really need is a shift in philosophy to a more specialized model which places people in positions where they have the highest likelihood of success. What General Managers and Dealer Principals resist is making the investment in these changes...they firmly believe int he philosophy and are simply asking the wrong workforce to perform the tasks.
Here's what I don't get, why do Owners, GMs and Managers let this happen?
Sales reps work for the Owners, GMs and Managers - don't they?
Honestly, one of the biggest problems that I see at dealerships is that they are run by car guys, not true sales and marketing professionals. These Owners, GMs and Managers are lazy, ignorant or a combination of the two. They are either happy with what they are making or they don't know how to run a sales organization properly.
If they did, this would not be allowed to happen.
With all of the tools we have at our disposal today, there are no valid excuses.
There's gold in them there service drives!!!!
Unfortunately if more sales professionals looked at their job as a career versus just another job that individual would do the things to take their "career" to the next level.
These are great stats and its funny becuse they are the same as when I entered the car biz 16 years ago. I dont understand why some salespeople don't understand it. I hope they all read this and find realize this could be their career-defining moment!!!! Great article Thank You for posting.
Every dealership seems to have at least one salesperson that never takes a fresh up... This is the guy that when the sales manager gets on his case about going out and greeting a customer, when the store gets extra busy, always seem to say "I can't... I got an appointment that will be here in less than 15 minutes..."
I have often wondered why more sales people do not adopt the type of follow up and customer communication process that allows sales professionals to graduate from the showroom floor and become "Sales Executives" instead of lot greeters.

I have a hive that has swarmed twice in 3 weeks. Both times the bees returned to the hive after about a half hour. What's up with that?
I'm guessing a clipped queen.
Would you mind putting your location in your profile, please? It helps us give more climate-relevant answers.
Clip Queen as had one of her wings cut back a bit to keep her from flying. They swarm but the queen cant follow so they return to her.
I am a bit south of you, central Arizona. Swarming and then returning, like a practice swarm, that has happened twice in the last few years. This is with local bees with their own queens. Each time they waited a couple of days after returning and then they completed their swarm ....move....whatever.
Either the queen wasn't quite ready to leave or conditions were not quite right - my best guess.

The Sedona has an elegant design that puts it in a class all its own! The Sedona features a decorative center band accent, rounded finial and end as well as a unique hexagonal nib section. The Sedona is comfortable to hold and is well-balanced. It is specifically designed as a small mid sized pen, and is a favorite of those with smaller hands. This takes a rollerball refill which can be purchased at your local office supply store.

Say you're a tiny Himalayan nation with the most benevolent of kings. You measure your people's progress by an index of Gross National Happiness, and the GNH is riding pretty high. Why ruin a good thing?
Some of the people of Bhutan apparently were thinking just that when they voted last month to become the world's newest democracy.
They took power from their king and gave it to the people because, well, because the king insisted that they take it. No, this really happened. A ruler gave up power quietly, willingly, because it was best for his people.
Bhutan's March 24 election was called by 28-year-old King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. This process began in 2005 when his father, who then ruled the land, decided that no leader should be "chosen by birth instead of merit." Democracy, he said, would offer stability.
The elder Wangchuck transformed his country. When he became king in 1972, Bhutan was a reclusive, poor state. During his reign, the nation's economy prospered, life expectancy soared by nearly 25 years and many more children were educated. Consider this a sign of progress or regress: Bhutan has had television since only 1999.
This was all part of the king's philosophy of Gross National Happiness. GNH is rooted in the Buddhist idea that economic growth is not the only thing that brings bliss. The nation strives to create an environment for broad and fair economic and social development, protecting cultural values, conserving the environment and good governance.
The king, who turned over the throne to his son in 2006, decided democracy was another necessary piece of happiness.
The people of Bhutan largely embraced this change. Just under 80 percent turned out for the election. The winning party, the Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT), which is close to the monarchy, took 40 of the 47 seats in parliament. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck will remain head of state.
So is everybody happy? Actually, some people are a little worried. The campaign rhetoric was mild by U.S. standards, but some people were distressed by any sharp public discourse.
"Under the king we have lived so many years peacefully. I don't know how democracy is going to help," one citizen of Bhutan told Reuters.
But they're going with the flow. Too bad the world can't invest in GNH futures.

This past weekend I was in Temecula, California at The Big Traveling Potluck. It was a super quick trip but I’ve been reflecting on it ever since I returned home. I’ll be sharing a little more about the trip soon but there is one thing I just have to say right now.
This trip ruined me on avocados. In the best and worst way possible.
The main day of events took place at a house in a hilly-mountainous area near Temecula. The owners of this absolutely stunning [like, jaw-dropping] house rent it out for different types of events and we were lucky enough to spend most of our time there over the weekend. Beyond the house they have a gorgeous, rolling property filled with organic produce, flowers, lavender, and who knows what else.
While walking around outside I noticed an whole area of avocado trees, which were gorgeous. I just kind of stood their in awe and of course snapped a photo.
Earlier that day was when I first tried the tree-ripened avocado and I was kind of speechless. Yes, avocado left me without words. It was just so flavorful and creamy and soft [but not mushy] and vibrant green. On Sunday there was an amazing brunch spread and of course a gigantic bowl of fresh avocado. Like, mixing bowl size. There was also a fresh loaf of gluten-free bread and a toaster. You should have seen how high I piled my avocado toast. Three times.
I’ve been obsessing about it in my head ever since.
This may partially be because I bought 3 avocados yesterday, all of which were completely inedible. While they appeared and felt ripe they were streaked with brown, pale yellow-green, and they tasted like bitter water.
My hope was to slather the top of this pizza with guacamole but that just ain’t happenin’ today. Ohhh, California.
Now that I’ve stopped crying about avocados let me end on a good note.
A REALLY freaking good note.
Never bake your polenta pizza again. Ever. Don’t do it!
When grilled, each side becomes crisp—especially around the edge—but the inside still has a tender chew. You know when you roast corn how the flavor intensifies and becomes that much more amazing? Well, the same exact thing happens with this crust! I wanted to eat the entire thing before I even put the toppings on.
If you like corn on the cob, cornbread, and corn tortillas you are pretty much going to flip out when you try this.
Topped with my easy enchilada sauce and a handful of lightly sautéed veggies, you’re looking at one flavor-packed, almost-summer meal. Maybe for an occasion like Cinco de Mayo? Maybe eaten with a cocktail in hand?
toppings: red onion, red peppers, corn, black beans, mushrooms, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, etc.
For the polenta: Bring water to boil in a large pot. Slowly stir in the polenta grits and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and place a lid on slightly ajar to avoid spattering. Stir frequently for 25-30 minutes [lid can be removed once spattering stops] until the polenta is very stiff. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the salt + pepper. Taste and add more s/p if needed. *The polenta will seem thickened around 15 minutes but continue to cook the full time. Do not use these instructions for quick-cook polenta.
While cooking, line two, 8-inch round pans with parchment [or wax paper]. Spread half of the polenta in each pan with a silicone spatula being sure to spread evenly, firmly, and all the way to the edge. You want the pizzas 1/8-1/4-inch thick. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until fully chilled.
While chilling cook any pizza toppings and set aside until ready to use.
Preheat your grill to 350-375* F [med/med-high]. Grease your grill grates and evenly brush 1-2 teaspoons of oil the top of each polenta crust. Remove from the pan and gently flip onto the grill. Peel the parchment off and close the grill. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until grill marks appear and the edges are golden brown. Lightly oil the other side then carefully flip with a large metal spatula. Grill for about 4 minutes then top with sauce and other toppings [add sharp cheddar or pepper jack if desired]. Close the grill and let cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Carefully remove from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes then slice on a cutting board and serve.
notes: Cooking polenta for hot breakfast cereal may only take about 5-10 minutes but when cooking to actually create polenta it takes about 30 minutes until it’s fully ready. It’s important to cook it this long so the pizza crust holds up when grilling. Pizzas can be made 1 night ahead and kept in the fridge overnight. Cover once cooled.
for the toppings: I like to give a quick sauté to the red onion and red pepper over med-high heat with a sprinkle of salt, then place them on a plate. Next I cook the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes then set them aside. Then I added frozen corn and black beans sprinkled with a few pinches of cumin, salt, + mild chili powder and cook for 4-5 minutes. I set everything aside until ready to top the pizzas.
Now someone come clean the mess. I’ll pay you in food.

Nobody knows when they will face an emergency that requires them to raise substantial funds. Maybe a mature relative becomes ill with dementia, and you need to pay for professional care? Putting people in care homes can cost thousands of pounds, and so you’ll need to find the money fast. Perhaps your house suffers significant weather damage, and you need to pay for repairs before you can move your family back into the property?
Whatever might happen, the strategies listed below should help you to get the cash you require. At least one or two of these ideas should work for you, and so you just need to read this post and utilise the most suitable suggestions.
Unless you have a terrible credit score, most people can apply for credit cards to raise some of the money their require. There are hundreds of different lenders out there, and so it’s always sensible to use price comparison websites to identify the best deals. You just need to search Google for domains of that nature and then enter your details.
The system will then highlight all the companies willing to offer a credit card, and it will also let you know the ins and outs of the deal. You should opt for the card with the highest borrowing limit and the lowest interest rates for the best outcomes. There are even some firms willing to lend to people with low credit ratings if you take the time to look around.
If your bank accounts are in good standing; you might consider visiting your local branch and asking about long-term loans. Most banking institutions offer the lowest interest rates on the market to their clients. That means you should manage to find a decent deal that will provide you with all the money you need. Still, it’s sensible to read the small print and ensure you can meet the repayment schedule.
Missing payments on your loan could damage your credit rating, and it could lead to you losing your home in extreme cases. So, make sure you never borrow cash from anywhere unless you’re 100% confident that you earn enough each month to make the repayments. If your bank turns you down; just visit another!
People who’ve paid their mortgage for more than ten years have a lot of equity built up in their homes. That means it’s possible to remortgage the property and get a lump sum of cash in your bank account. Just remember that the mortgage term will begin all over again, and so you will have to make payments for much longer than you otherwise would have done.
Still, if your family faces an emergency and there are no other options on the table, remortgaging your property could provide you with a financial lifeline. Again, there are price comparison websites you can use to ensure you get the best deal available. You just need to enter your details and then take a look at the results. With a bit of luck; you should manage to raise thousands of pounds if you walk that path.
If you think that selling your home and downsizing is a suitable solution; there are lots of ways you can go about achieving that goal. You could place your house on the market and wait for your estate agent to arrange viewings. However, that is probably not the best strategy if you need cash fast. Thankfully, lots of companies out there will buy your home in a matter of days.
They’ll never pay the full value, but that doesn’t matter if you face an emergency at the moment. Just search Google and then visit any website that appears on the first page of results. Take a look at the offer on the table, and then work out whether or not it will solve your financial issues.
Lots of families have two cars these days, and that is usually convenient. That said, it doesn’t make sense to have more than one vehicle in your driveway if you’re attempting to raise lots of capital. Consider selling the most valuable automobile to help achieve your fundraising goal. For the best price; you’ll want to sell the vehicle to a private individual, but that can take a few weeks. So, think about handing the keys over to a dealer or a professional salesperson.
Again, you won’t get the full value, but at least you will leave with some cash in your pocket. The best strategy comes down to how much money you require and how much time you have to get it.
If you want to sell your car in the fastest way possible; you should consider searching online for companies that will make an offer and purchase it on the same day. Websites like WeBuyAnyCar have become exceptionally popular during the last few years, and they could provide you with a lifeline.
People who own small businesses have more options than most when it comes to raising funds. In many instances, it’s possible to loan some money out of the company and pay it back at a time that suits you. You just need to get in touch with your accountant and let them know that you need some cash right now. They will then take a look at the position of your business before making recommendations.
You could get the money in your account the same day if your accountant says it’s possible. Just make sure you don’t hinder the progress of your operation if you rely on the money to pay your bills each month.
Maybe you have some gold and silver jewellery at home that you could sell to specialists? Perhaps you have some artwork hanging on the wall that’s worth a lot of money? Either way, selling your valuables is an excellent way to get a cash injection when you need it most. You can use online auction websites to list your items in most instances, but sometimes it’s best to use niche domains. For example, there are specialist auction sites that deal solely with memorabilia.
So, if you have some original Star Wars figures still in the packaging; you should get the full value when using those niche domains. It’s all about finding the right market and listing your possessions at the best times.
Let’s presume you have half of the money you need to cover the cost of your emergency. Well, it’s possible that you could double your funds overnight if you start making smart investments. Anyone can trade on the stock market these days, and there are lots of smartphone apps that remove all the hard work from the process. You just need to conduct as much research as possible and then put your newfound knowledge to good use.
Try to find companies that are just about to hit the big time, and then invest a few days before that happens. Your share prices could double or even triple in a matter of hours if you get things right.
If all else fails; you could always try crowdfunding for your emergency. That strategy might work well if your problems relate to a sad or unlucky string of events. For instance, let’s use the same example as before and presume you have a loved one who needs to go into a care home. Telling your story online and letting people know you can’t afford to cover the costs might encourage them to make donations.
At least some of the ideas and suggestions from this post should appeal to you, and so you just need to put your plan in place and start working towards your goal right now. There is a decent chance that you can raise a minimum of £10,000 by the end of the week if you’re smart. Some folks might even manage to find upwards of £50,000 depending on their circumstances.
You just need to use some common sense and ensure your borrowing doesn’t have adverse effects further down the line. Don’t bankrupt yourself! Be smart, and always think of the long-term consequences of your actions. Thanks for reading this article guys, we’ll see you back here soon!

Today I obsessed over my knit edge technique. This was caused by a new upcoming video that I'm going to do about unknitting. Unknitting the Ks and Ps are simple really; it's the edges that cause all the problems. So I pondered once again, "How to knit a neater edge?"
A neater edge in most people's opinion is called a Slip Stitch Edge or an Open Slip Stitch Edge, which creates a cool looking chain effect on the edges rather than the bumps you get if you knit all stitches of garter stitch pattern and in stockinette where you knit all right side stitches and purl all wrong side stitches without consideration for what is happening to the edges.
Some quick abbreviations to limit my typing.
SL = slip one stitch. You do not actually work the yarn through the loop you are slipping.
PW = purlwise or "as if to purl". Bring yarn to the front as if to purl, insert needle as if to purl.
TBL = the needle is inserted through the back loop; rather than through the front loop (or leg).
That might be it. So what does all this mean and how can you apply it to your knitting? Well, personally I don't like any of the directions where I have to do one thing on the RS row and something else on the WS row. Why? Because I forget which row I'm on and wind up creating a bump in the middle of my pretty chained edge! YIKES, then I have to unknit the edge and twist them the right way. Not worth it IMO. And besides you get just as nice of a look with others that are good for both RS, WS, stockinette and garter.
There is something that I learned with all this, and believe me I have a huge pile of little skinny samples I've been doing. And that is that every time I knit something there is always a border edge or a selvage which is usually seed st or garter stitch. Other than straight stockinette there is no time that I can recall the first stitch of a row being a purl. Why is this important you may wonder. Well that means to do a sample I need to knit something with a garter stitch border; or just knit garter stitch. Small steps, but I do learn some things with all this experimentation.
1. Creates an open chain edge in which the yarn is not crossed at all in the chain for both stockinette and garter. While I like this because it keeps the sts perfectly on the sides, I don't like it because the edge looks too loose.
3. This also creates the twisted chain look, it works on both garter and stockinette, it looks exactly like #2 but there is no tight twisted stitch to knit into. IMO this is the best bet.
I did investigate into the mystery of the chain edge once a long time ago and much to my delight I havebeen slipping the the first stitch knitwise and purling the last, which is exactly what I've just suggested. Yeah!
Now you wonder, what do you do if your pattern if it doesn't already tell you to slip stitches? Ah this is easy. Simply cast on 2 more stitches than the pattern tells you to cast on. You will SL your first stitch KW, work the pattern in full for that row, then P the last stitch. Simple as pie.
Hi there. It took me a while to find a you tube video on how to make a neat edge finishing for scarves and found yours demonstrating 3 options. Thank you for posting. I then looked at your blog and saw the same caring to share your tips and advice. All the best and look forward to more.
I found your YouTube video after a google search on "neat knit edges". Im new to knitting and was having trouble deciphering some instructions in a book I purchased. I definitely like your technique better. Thank you so much for posting this very helpful video.
Thank you sooooo much. Especially loved the instruction to CO the 2 extra stitches than the pattern tells you, as I had a very jagged- edged shawl, which now can be finished beautifully. God bless you!
@Anonymous: Thank you for pointing that out. I had changed my Ravelry user name to DetroitKnitter... it's fixed now. Hope this edge works with your project!
I LOVE your concise and precise instructions about edges. You make it perfectly clear how and why to do it each way. My dishcloths and scarves will now look more elegantly finished. Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful tip on neat edges! You explain this so nice and easy to understand!!! Love the tutorial here, and the amazing video!
I've just read your blog and I have a question. Why would you add 2 sts to your pattern when you are only slipping one?
I'm sorry that I don't have a better explanation, but I think if you tried to only add one stitch you would create a bump on one side or maybe alternating sides?
Very nice and neat looking, #3 is what I'll be using from now on for visible edges. Thank you so much!
I am saving your post. I love #3 and how it works.
I am wondering about projects where the leading edge is not stocking stitch but reverse stocking stitch. And I can't get my head around it. Any advice?
Q: I am wondering about projects where the leading edge is not stocking stitch but reverse stocking stitch.
A: You will always add 2 cast on stitches to what the pattern says to cast on in order to make the chain edge. So it doesn't matter which stitch the pattern starts out with. Work the first chain edge then the written pattern and end the row with the chain edge; turn and again work the chain edge stitch then the pattern and end with chain edge stitch and so on for every row. I didn't go into specifics of knitwise/purlwise since that depends on which of the 3 methods you use.

Membership status Candidate country, accession negotiations underway since July 2010.
Iceland applied for EU membership in July 2009.
2010, and the Council decided in June 2010 that accession negotiations would be opened.
The municipalities are governed by municipal councils which are directly elected every four years The sizes of these councils vary from five members in the smallest municipalities to fifteen in the largest one. Most municipalities except for the very small ones hire an executive manager who may or may not be a member of the municipal council. These managers are usually referred to as mayors (bæjarstjóri / borgarstjóri) in the mostly urban municipalities but "commune manager" (sveitarstjóri) in the rural or mixed municipalities.

I used to draw quite a bit when I was younger, and somehow I managed to get good grades in art in school. Since then, I have gone from pencil to mouse. Hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to move beyond the mouse and get into more intuitive drawing on the computer. I know a lot of people who create really cool and funny online comics, and they are quite successful doing so. However, one thing most people have trouble drawing are hands. It’s not the easiest of things to draw, and even the artist behind one of the most successful online comics, Penny Arcade, has had his characters’ hands criticized by other artists. To me they look fine, but apparently they need a little more work according to some.
For all the people who haven’t yet found a way to draw hands or are lacking the skills overall, maybe some tips are in order to solve the situation. You could still make some rather awesome comics even though you can’t draw hands. For example, create a droid or a robot and you’ll have sorted the problem out in no time at all, or why not go with a stick character? That’s another type of very successful online comic that gets more and more interest each day.
Grant Snider, the owner of the website Incidental Comics, has some rather awesome ideas for how you can rid the problem and get on realizing your dreams of having your very own successful online comic. Just have a look at these options, and I am sure you will find a solution to your problem. Some of them are actually quite amusing and would make the characters even more interesting. Imagine a character walking around with a tambourine all the time.

In an action alleging negligence, medical malpractice, statutory violations of New York State Public Health Law §2801-d, CG&P was awarded summary judgment dismissing all claims against its client, a Long Island nursing home and rehabilitation facility. The decedent developed a pressure ulcer to his heel which progressed to Stage IV, became infected, and required multiple surgical debridements and local wound care for 3 years. The Court found that CG&P successfully established that the heel ulcer developed as a result of the decedent’s advanced peripheral vascular disease in the context of his co-morbidities, and not as a result of any care or inadequate care on the part of the nursing facility. This was supported by the diagnostic testing that showed occlusive arterial disease and an unsuccessful revascularization procedure. The case was handled by CG&P Partner Michele R. Levin and Associate Renton Persaud.

Greenville County residents: Your school taxes could be going up.
On Monday, Greenville County Schools trustees will vote on a $620 million budget that includes a 5.1 mill increase.
The public will have an opportunity to comment on the tax increase and budget at a 6 p.m. public hearing that will precede the second reading of the budget at the J. Floyd Hall Central Office on Monday.
The tax increase would generate an additional $6.7 million to help fund across-the-board salary increases for teachers, staff and administrators. Teachers would receive the largest wage increase, an average of 3.29 percent, the district said.
New revenues also would help offset increased costs for employees' health, dental and retirement benefits.
Thanks to the General Assembly's Act 388, taxes on owner-occupied homes wouldn't increase, although there would likely be a modest tax increase on residents' cars.
Business owners and owners of rental property or second homes also would see their taxes rise.
At the request of The Greenville News, Greenville County Schools officials provided calculations on how the tax increase would impact various business owners and car owners.
Older automobiles, because their value has declined, would be assessed the smallest additional levy.
The owner of a 2006 Toyota Camry would see an annual tax increase of 60 cents annually.
Taxes for a 2006 Honda Accord would rise by 76 cents annually, while taxes for a 2006 Ford F-150 would go up by $1.08 yearly.
• 2018 Toyota Camry: $8.01 annually.
• 2018 Honda Accord: $9.12 annually.
• 2018 Ford F-150: $9.65 annually.
• A restaurant valued at $316,404 would see an annual tax increase of $96.71.
• A machine shop valued at $460,830 would see a tax hike of $141.01 annually.
• A pharmacy valued at $602,270 would pay $184.29 more annually.
• A flower shop valued at $649,290 would see its tax levy rise by an annual $198.68.
The district's proposed 2018-19 operating budget is $620,240,000, representing a 4.6 percent increase over last year's budget, said district spokeswoman Teri Brinkman.
The new budget includes a 3.29 percent average salary increase for teachers and a 2 percent raise for other district personnel.
"A 2 percent raise will help employees respond to inflation over the past 12 months (2.13 percent), and meet higher deductibles, co-pays, and prescription drug costs," Brinkman said in an email.
The raise for teachers is partially, though not fully, funded by the state.
The recommended budget equates to a cost of approximately $45 per day, per student, for the 180 days of a school year, Brinkman said.
The proposed budget is based on the Senate version of the state budget and could be adjusted once the state budget is finalized.
Though taxes are going up by 5.1 mills, the Greenville County Schools board has the authority to levy up to 15.2 mills to keep pace with population growth and the Consumer Price Index.
Other new expenditures in the proposed budget include money for student growth, the expansion of Rudolph Gordon School into middle grades, the hiring of a principal in advance of the opening of Fountain Inn High School, and additional special education personnel to better serve students, the district said.
The budget also includes money for school safety, including a heightened presence of school resource officers, additional funds for criminal background checks for volunteers, and four new school safety specialists to monitor and enhance security drills at the district’s more than 100 facilities.

In Part 2 of this series, we reviewed areas for change management across a number of business functions, demonstrating that they were all affected by the information and data made available by telematics. In Part 3, we’re looking at Why Change? It is important that we have already established what areas could be a focus for change management (Part 1), but then ask the right questions as to why we might want to change them, and is what to change and when will change depending on the organisation.
Change and change management may be a conscious decision for internal improvements/re-organisation, or it may be a requirement due to legislation, market requirements, or even customer driven to improve an existing service.
Change is a difficult aspect for any business to grasp. Individuals are often happiest when they know what they are doing, why they are doing it and how to do it – introduce change and all this disappears. The saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is often heard, but in an ever-changing environment you may not know it is broken until it is too late. Successful organisations listen to their environment and then adapt and reinvent themselves, not only to keep pace with the ever-changing environment but also to best control and manage the environment that they are in.
Change is an essential part of the growth and development of any organisation – but why change? There are a number of reasons and benefits to change programmes that, if planned and managed, would assist to make improvements and allow businesses to be proactive in an ever-changing environment. Here are seven of the top reasons to embrace change.
All organisations want to improve the way that they conduct business, to achieve internal benefits and improve service levels. It also enables them to stay ahead of their competitors and improve sales opportunities.
Review of management structures can verify if they’re fit for purpose. Analysis of reporting chains and decision makers and their skills would enable the change team to see if the right teams were in place and any change needed.
Change due to legislation is usually seen as a hindrance to existing business practices. Health and Safety, and Environmental are examples where change was required. If understood and correctly assessed these can be used to a company’s advantage rather than an obstacle. Identifying where the benefits lie in making legislation changes can make a company a market leader and a champion of best practice, and in some cases an industry benchmark.
Identifying influencers and advocates and putting them at the centre of the change communication programme is the best way to improve understanding and transparency of change. People become part of the change project when their ideas and concerns are taken into consideration, the result being improved engagement. Often the best ideas are from those4 on the front line, this should be identified acknowledged and if appropriate rewarded in the feedback loop to staff.
Change projects are an excellent way to re-engage with the existing customer base, through communication on how the company will improve and how that would benefit them with improved the service levels. Viewing customers as stakeholders and collating their thoughts and opinions greatly assists with the change process decision making, keeping change projects on the right track for business improvement.
Change involves risk and risk requires management. Businesses must be comfortable with understanding and managing the risk to support change.
The good news is that there are technical solutions that assist with being able to make change possible. Telematics is an excellent enabler for change, as the data received is real time helps identify actionable insights in areas such as workflows and access to better information which improves decision making helps employees understand the benefit of change. I’m not a Manchester United fan, but Sir Alex Ferguson was a master at changing his teams to keep ahead of their rivals and became the most successful manager of the Premier League. Connecting systems across the organisation improves smarter decisions and faster reaction times, and leading telematics technology platforms provide free API’s with support to create efficiencies across functions and information to enable actionable insights.
There are countless instances of companies that could not or would not change and therefore no longer exist. Conversely there are many examples of companies that have changed, developed and grown. TomTom are a good example of how they have stayed ahead in the market through the development of their satellite navigation solutions and services in the consumer market, through to the diversification and growth of TomTom Telematics, and the Fitness Division. By managing change and achieving growth to meet the demands of the consumer, they have stayed ahead of the competition.
Identifying the change enabler allows you to be comfortable with uncertainty of what change can bring. You can see what is happening in real time with the data being presented, which, in turn, allows you to make smarter decisions and better plan a change process.
Managing the future grows the business and develops the staff. Change is central to success and it should not be a reactionary view, but a well-planned process that allows organisations to succeed.

What historic or world events took place in your early days?
Oddly enough, I have no personal memories of world events in my early days, though no doubt I could easily look up events from my early years in reference books! Perhaps we lived in a more sheltered world then; our news sources were radio and newspaper, and the world was surely not the global village then that it is today. We did not have television in our home, and of course there were no satellites in my earliest years, and certainly no internet! But these stories are meant to be from my own memories, and so I will tell about my first personal memory.
It takes place on November 22, 1963. That November day, at about 2 in the afternoon, our grade 3 class was holding class elections for our “Junior Red Cross” club. We had just completed the voting, and the teacher had announced that I had been voted class president! Just then, there was a knock at the door, and in walked the school principal, with a very sober expression on his face. He announced to us that the President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, had just been assassinated, and that as an act of respect, our school would close for the rest of the day, and our school flag would fly at half mast. Then he left to speak to the rest of the classes. I remember sitting there feeling like the bottom of the world had fallen out. Everyone was very quiet. In my rather sheltered existence, I knew little about President Kennedy, but I did have a sense that he was a great man, and that somehow this event had changed the world forever. After sitting there silently for a minute or two, our teacher dismissed us from class, and told us to go straight home.
Our classroom was in the highest level of the school, right next to a wide flight of stairs. I sat down at the top of the stairs, probably to put on my snow boots, and suddenly a few of my classmates gathered around me, and one or two of them started taunting me: “President Kennedy died, and you just got voted President so you’re going to die” or words to that effect. I remember shuddering, not out of fear, but with wonder that such insensitive and disrespectful words related to the death of a great person could be spoken. It was after this that the realization came upon me that history was more than just stories, and that the stories of history are also the stories of each of us, as they have made the world we live in. After that, I listened more carefully to the radio news, read about world events more carefully, and my interest in current events, world history, politics and such grew by bounds. One day I would become a Social Studies teacher, with a specialty in historical geography, and even an invitation from the dean of the history department of the University of British Columbia to return and take my doctorate in history. While my path has taken a different route than he envisioned, I have never lost my interest in world events, an interest that started on that fateful day of November 22, 1963.

Write an article about these questions. The best articles will be published on the site.
The most useful bit of advice I have ever received was from an online course. I had been studying English for years but with no success, I wasn´t motivated to learn and I found it difficult. As it was so challenging for me; I started to give up until one day I came across this advice. Start with what you enjoy. But how can we make sure that we enjoy the language learning process?
The best way to learn a language is to relate it to yourself and your life. You need to think about what topics you are most likely to use and begin with those. If you study about something that doesn´t capture your attention, it is difficult to learn. As I read recently on the course, “to learn something well, you need to enjoy it”. This is very true with languages. The creator of the course has hit the nail on the head because not I use English every day. I try to think in English and I read in English all the time.
All in all, I reckon that languages are important to open your mind and be able to travel with ease. I´d recommend this course to everyone and I´m glad I found it.
What would you think of…?
Are you one of those people who …?
If the answer is …, you should….
What do you reckon to …?
Write an article about your experiences doing extreme sports.
What was your best sporting experience? What made it so memorable and what did you learn from it? What aims do you have in the future of sport?
Write an article (160-190 words) about your experience. Make it personal and tell anecdotes.

Siza’s design commissions range in size from swimming pools to large residential complexes. They include private houses, banks, office buildings, restaurants, museums, stores and university buildings. Most of his best-known works are located in or around Porto.
Álvaro Siza was born in Matosinhos, a small town north of Porto, in 1933 and graduated in architecture from the Porto University of Porto in 1955. He set up his first practice a year before graduating, completing his first built work a year later, consisting of four houses in his hometown.
Siza taught at the University of Porto in the 1960s and ‘70s. He has also served as visiting professor at Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, the Los Andes University in Bogotá and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).
Siza’s design commissions range in size from swimming pools to large residential complexes. They include private houses, banks, office buildings, restaurants, museums, stores and university buildings. Most of his best-known works are located in or around Porto. These include the 1963 Boa Nova Tea House on the shore of Leça de Palmeira, which Siza redesigned as a 50 years later as a restaurant, and the Piscina das Marés, a strongly topographical public outdoor swimming pool built into a natural rock formation on the seashore. Others include the University of Porto Faculty of Architecture’s iconic new buildings (1986-1993) and the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (1999), which is set beautifully into a surrounding park.
Also located in Porto are SAAL Bouça and SAAL São Victor, two social housing areas that Siza designed after the Portuguese revolution in the 1970s for the national housing association, Servicio de Apoio Ambulatorio Local (SAAL). At the time, these areas, made up of multi-level, larger-than-usual maisonettes, were only partially completed. Since then, Bouça was gentrified, renovated and finally completed in the 2000s, while the São Victor terraced houses were demolished.
Siza’s most recent projects are a 2015 museum in Chaves, Portugal, dedicated to artist Nadir Afonso, based on his geometric style (2015) and the Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande Church in Brittany, France. This new church, with a hall that rises above the ground level to the second floor and which takes advantage of natural light, which is to be completed by the end of 2017.
Siza has also successfully participated in design competitions around Europe. His partners over the years have included Fernando Távora, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Juan Domingo Santos and Rudolf Finsterwalder.
Siza originally intended to become a sculptor. His style may be seen as poetic modernism, an extension of modernist principles and aesthetics. His design portrays respect for local traditions, times, the surrounding nature and broader context, adapting the shapes of buildings into them, exploiting natural light, taking special relationships into account at all scales, as well as continuous studying and experimentation.
Other honours bestowed on Álvaro Siza include the Mies van der Rohe Award (1988), the Pritzker Prize (1992), the Praemium Imperiale (1998), the Wolf Prize (2001), the RIBA Royal Gold Medal (2009), the UIA Gold Medal (2011) and the Venice Architecture Biennale Golden Lion (2002) and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (2012).

Welcome to this interview Andrew. You’re a part of the 2CAudio family. Let’s introduce yourself what 2CAudio is doing and how it all began. How many people are working at 2CAudio?
Greetings! It’s a pleasure to be here.
2CAudio was formed in 2008 as a partnership between myself and Denis Malygin to develop audio signal processing software plug-ins focusing on spatialization, advanced creative effects, and other future-forward ideas. Since then 2CAudio has gone on to win major industry awards, and its products are heard daily by millions of people around the world. We offer some of the best reverbs on the planet among other highly innovative and creative things, such as Kaleidoscope.
Both Denis and myself have a history in our industry that goes back long before 2CAudio was even started. At the time I was running my content creation and services company, Galbanum, which was, and is still is, developing sound-design tools and sample libraries and licensing technical content to partners such as Native Instruments, Alchemy, ROLI, Tone2, and many others. I was, and still am, also active in film, TV, and game scoring, and electronic music, and I recently have been releasing neo-classical solo piano material which was one of my very fist loves in music, going back 25 years now. So I came to 2Caudio with a heavily creative background; I think in terms of being a composer, producer, and sound-designer, and this background and mindset heavily influences our work. Creativity is in our DNA because I am effectively a creative artist, just like many of our customers.
Denis comes from the more formal computer science background, and has been writing plug-ins and audio signal processing code professionally since his early 20s if not before. He has a master’s degree in computer science from one of the best technical universities in Russia. He was a cofounder of the former company Spin Audio that released some excellent products in the early 2000’s. He was coding hand-written assembly language before I really knew what a “for loop” was!
Over the years, our relationship evolved as needed to achieve our product goals. Developing something as complex as Kaleidoscope for example, is a massive undertaking for two people and there are tons of moving parts to coordinate, and integrate into the myriad of host and OS requirements. Additionally, perhaps because I am an artist, I tend to suffer from large amounts of OCD and perfectionism when it comes to most everything and certainly to issues of sound-quality and mathematical precision. I often found myself dissatisfied with the traditional solutions to various DSP challenges we faced. So I became more and more directly active in the coding of our products myself, and over-time became our resident expert in the math and theory aspects of our products.
Today I code the raw algorithms we use in our products in C, and I work out all of the tuning of their parameters. I do thousands and thousands of listening tests and analytical evaluations to check and refine our algorithms. I basically define “what” and “why”, work out the math for it, and do some of the initial work on answering “how”. Denis has evolved into the “systems architect” position. He is now almost entirely concerned with “how”. The how question, involves things such as how do we optimize the algorithm itself, which I am involved with initially, and then how do we structure and “vectorize” it to make it as blazingly fast as possible on current CPUs. It also involves all the integration topics related to plug-in standards, hosts, and OSs. It also attempts to answer how do we organize our code in such a way that a small team can manage it over years and decades and reuse critical parts while adding functionality etc. The how questions are very complex and we found that to really excel at them it helps to have one member of the team focusing almost exclusively on these topics, and we are very lucky to have someone as skilled as Denis handling these topics. Thus, in short, Denis has become the systems architect of our team, and I have become the product and algorithm designer and mathematical-theory DSP expert.
My favourite plugin of 2CAudio is Kaleidoscope. Let’s tell our readers which features are included and for which purposes could it be used?
Kaleidoscope is the ultimate sound-design tool and creative effects toy! It is designed with one goal in mind: to inspire and invigorate composers, sound-designers, and artists to push the boundaries of what is possible in cutting edge sound-design. It is a tool that allows users to control and manipulate sound using images that represent massive amounts of modulation data that controls timing and spatial position of 512 independent physically modeled resonators.
Kaleidoscope can be used as an FX processor where the incoming audio signal is used to excite the resonators to produce things such as Harmonic & Tonal Reverb, Granular Effects, Dynamic Resonator Effects, Dynamic Filter Effects, Extreme Textural Effects, Vocoder-like Effects, Morphing Delay Effects, Extreme Spatialization & FIRs effects, Automated Volume & Panning effects, and things that defy classification.
Kaleidoscope can also be used a generative synthesizer to produce novel content without any audio or MIDI input signal at all. In this modality Kaleidoscope behaves something like additive synthesis where we dynamically sum hundreds of voices to create incredibly ornate shifting poly-rhythmic synth patterns, textures, ambient drones, atonal sound FX for visual media, and much more. We explore these synthesizer aspects of Kaleidoscope even more in the next version.
Kaleidoscope is effectively a tool that offers ultimate control over the musical organization of sound in time, frequency, and spatial location. It allows users to sculpt and construct musical and sound structure that would almost impossible to construct with any other method. It is incredibly fertile ground for composers and sound designers to explore and come up with truly novel and exciting results.
You’ve got also some other very interesting plugins like Aether, B2, The Perfect Storm and Breeze. What makes your tools different from other products on the plugin market?
I think two things really set us apart from the competition: creativity, and precision. In 2008-2009 when we first released Aether convolution verbs were king of the plug-in market, and there was no really strong algorithmic verb yet on the market the rivaled or beat the hardware legends. We effectively came along and dethroned both, with the very first effort of our new company. We did so with creativity and with precision.
Convolution is very good at exactly replicating a given sound at a given position in space at a given moment in time. The problem with convolution, or rather not the mathematical process of convolution itself, but the practice of using convolution to convolve a musical signal with the impulse response of a real physical space, is that the real physical space is built according to mathematical design principals that are defined in hopes of having a particular effect on the acoustics of the concert hall, but such buildings are always built within the practical confines of construction techniques, costs, and annoying things like gravity. The audience sadly can’t float midway between floor and ceiling, the ceiling can’t be made of water, and the walls are not going to be made of 50 meter thick marble even if this is what would give the best sound. Furthermore the process of capturing the impulse response is usually not perfect or immune from environmental factors such as background noise. So convolution imperfectly captures an imperfect approximation of a desired result, and is valid for only one static moment in time.
Why not skip all of that and just model the desired result? And since when is modern music production always concerned with exactly what happens in a concert hall that was designed for classical music performance? Flangers, phasers, ping-pong delays, and synth pads for example, don’t really exist in the concert hall, but they have existed in music production for quite some time and are widely loved. People have been doing weird and wonderful things to sound for quite some time. There is no right answer for all possible scenarios. So the best case scenario is to understand all the psychoacoustic phenomena that are possible and the mathematics that can create such things, and then create an algorithm that can model such things as well as bend the model to more extreme values that are not exactly natural in the sense of what normally is found in concert halls, but may be desirable creatively within the context of modern music production. Furthermore such algorithms can be made dynamic over time. In other words, they modulate in very interesting ways that make them much more alive than static convolution. We fully embrace this kind of creative thinking in all of our reverb products, and the creativity of Kaleidoscope should be self-evident.
With regard to precision, all of our products use double precision processing. Aether, B2 and Kaleidoscope offer oversampling. Aether and B2 offer extreme interpolation methods. All of these things combined create incredibly clean signal paths in our products with result in noise floors well below the limits of human hearing and the best DA converters in existence. We have noise-floors in the -150dB to -300dB range! You can pass any signal you like into our algs, crank up modulation depth and rate and you will NOT get a wall of noise or other nasty artifacts that are commonly found in other competitive products. We have by far the cleanest modulation available in our algs. Sometimes noise and artifacts are cool for creative purposes — I get that, but we feel it should be a creative decision to add such things to your mix, not a side effect of a poorly designed product that is unavoidably imposed upon the user.
Your website is very attractive and the design of your plugins too. It seems you’re attaching great value of perfection. „Good enough“ is not good enough for you, right?
Yes, absolutely! Thanks kindly for noticing! I have been involved in one way or another in our industry from a very early age. Even as a teenager I was already extremely active as a beta tester for companies such as MOTU, Waves, Prosoniq, Sound Toys, U&I Software and many others. I often got myself in trouble for overstepping my bounds in this capacity and making extensive product revision and feature suggestions. I was that guy! LOL. I suppose it was inevitable that I would eventually make my own products. In terms of product perfectionism, I suppose all that time I spent on QA topics as a very active beta tester in my younger years has rubbed off onto our products. It’s fairly rare for any major issues to even make it to beta-testing in our case.
A common quote attributed to Mark Zuckerberg is “Done is better than perfect.” For better or for worse, I find it extremely difficult to follow this advice. For me the formula is simple: “Done equals Perfect”! I would probably be richer if I listened to Zuckerberg, but my OCD perfectionist artist side almost always wins. Sometimes our deadlines and timelines suffer, but the result is usually worth the wait.
This general mentality extends to our graphic design, GUIs, and websites as well. There is usually a point in every project we do where some member of the team or a contractor thinks I am completely insane for pushing too hard, asking for too much, obsessing over microscopic details, “painting the back side of the fence”, etc. That’s usually how I know we are on the right path!
How much time does it take to develope a plugin (on average)?
It is highly variable depending on the product and whether or not we have done anything similar to it in the past. For example it was relatively easy to get from Aether to Breeze, because Breeze is built using some of the same technologies that exist in Aether. It was fairly similar for B2 as well. Even in these cases, it is never quite as simple as it seems though because as soon as we start opening something up and working on it, we almost always find one way or another to find “one last thing” to perfection-ize, and this can go on for quite a while. I have a business degree, so I should probably be better at project management and deadlines, but ultimately, I am much more of an artist and a scientist than I businessman I suppose. I am motivated more by pure knowledge and the pursuit of perfection than I am by money.
For a product like Kaleidoscope that was completely new for us, is highly complex, and has tons of new technology, it can take forever. We have spent many years of full time effort on Kaleidoscope by now. The time invested into this RnD however, helps all of our products, not just Kaleidoscope. My personal DSP/math/coding skill set has grown tremendously because of our work on Kaleidoscope.
Where do you get your inspiration for new amazing products and which technology inspires you?
Great question. The 2CAudio slogan is “Convergent Creative Precision”. The first word, convergent, represents our understanding of the universal trend in knowledge and discovery that tells us that over time disparate segments of art, science, technology, and thought merge and become one, and therefore wisdom and progress in one discipline can often be successfully applied to another. Practically what this means, is that more often than not, we find inspiration from areas outside our industry rather than from within it. A multitude of developers in the audio world spend enormous amounts of time analyzing classic gear to make emulations of it. They spend incredible resources to develop sophisticated methods to achieve such emulation. We respect their efforts, but this is not us. I leaned much more about reverb algorithm design by studying branches on trees than I did by trying to analyze a Lexicon 480-L for example, with all respect and credit to Lexicon for its achievements of course. In general I spend almost all of my research time trying to improve my pure “math and science” skills and trying to better understand the natural world. I am deeply inspired by the awe and beauty of the natural world, and the mathematical principals that seem to govern it. I suppose one could say, my specialty and primary area of interest is the “mathematics of aesthetics”. This obviously translates quite exactly into work on something like Kaleidoscope, but you may be surprised to know it has direct application to reverb as well once you get deep enough.
You are offering also additional sound-/presetpacks to your tools, what can you say to this?
We tend to make extreme products aimed at knowledgeable professional users. We make power tools for power users. Most of our products have a lot of options and settings and their parameter space allows for extremely diverse results. This is a dream come true for sound-designers and people who love to “geek-out” and experiment. However, even the most knowledgeable pros, sometimes, and indeed more often than not, have limited time due to the pressure of a deadline or other similar reason. They need fast results. Even in my own personal creative work, I realized that some days I like to turn on the creative brain, and other days I like to turn on the science brain. If I am working on a piano composition for example, I should be focused on my performance aspects such as phrasing and dynamics, or compositional devices such as harmonic development, more than the current parameters of my algorithmic reverb. In many ways, it’s better to have a division of labor, even if the labor is done all by the same person.
This division of labor has more or less always existed in synthesizers. How many people have ever played a DX-7? How many create custom presets for it? Some of our products have a complexity level similar to a synthesizer. Kaleidoscope, is effectively a synthesizer, and one that makes use of a skill set that is fairly foreign to many traditional musicians (i.e. graphic design, tuning theory, etc.).
Excellence simply requires focus. Oftentimes pros have more important things to focus on than making custom presets. Our expansion packs are made by top sound-designers and producers, and sometimes myself, who have spent enormous amounts of time to explore the far corners of the parameter space of our products and bring back truly magical gems for the rest of us to use in our music productions. This can be a very valuable asset.
Expansion pack content can easily be customized to make it personal as well of course. We offer many ways to achieve that in our products.
Can you give us a little production tip or do you have a secret function in Kaleidoscope or the other ones?
The most important not-so-secret function in Kaleidoscope is the “WHITE” control. This control mixes white noise into the input signal in a specialized way. At a 100% setting it will completely “erase” the tonality of the input signal, producing white noise that follows the envelope of the input signal. This is useful to tame wild resonances that can occur when the tonality of the input signal matches Kaleidoscope’s tuning exactly, as well as to change the tonality of a sound completely while retaining its rhythmic information.
At a 200% WHITE setting the input signal will be completely ignored and Kaleidoscope will be processing pure white noise. In this mode Kaleidoscope is effectively a generative synthesizer. It can be thought of a 512-voice synth where the image is effectively the performance, much a like a highly advanced piano-roll notation that also dynamically controls gain and panning for each voice independently. Incredibly intricate sound-sculptures can be created this way, and the next version of Kaleidoscope explores this territory even more.
2CAudio is well known for very creative and futuristic plugins and soundpacks. Which kind of plugins or expansion packs could your fans expect next?
We have completed most of the work for the next version of Kaleidoscope already. It contains a pretty massive amount of changes and new additions. I have said it before, and at the risk of sounding arrogant I will repeat it: I honestly believe that once we achieve the full original vision for Kaleidoscope, it will become a tool of incredible historical significance to the world of electronic music and sound-design of all forms. It has the potential to change the landscape of these fields with an impact equal to that of something like the original Moog analog synthesizer. It is a very audacious goal, and we never expect it to be easy, but to quote JFK if I may, we choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. We will metaphorically go to the moon, to Mars, and way beyond both with Kaleidoscope, trust me!
In addition to that, we have new research completed for our reverbs, and some completely unrelated products in the pipeline that we have been developing for a while now. We have been buried in deep RnD the past couple years actually, and the fruit of this labor is just about ripe to pick and share with the world. We are very excited to share it!
We understand you’ve agreed to extend a special give away exclusively for Noizefield, right? What need people to do to participate on it and whatare the prizes to win?
Yes, we are happy to be able to agree to do something for Noizefield readers and support the community. We are offering 4 different prizes for Noizefield readers: one of each of our product packs, namely: 1 Kaleidoscope Pack, 1 Aether Pack, 1 B2 Pack, and 1 Breeze Pack. To qualify, just write a comment at the Facebook post at Noizefield and you will be entered to win one of our tools till 30th June 2017. Noizefield will select the winners.
2CAudio was founded by an American and a Russian. Both of us were born in 1975 in the middle of the Cold War. Fortunately I missed out on the Russiphobia and McCarthyism of 1950s, but we still had plenty of implicit programming from Hollywood and elsewhere telling us Russians were the bad guys etc. I am reasonably confident Denis had the same programming in the opposite direction. Even in 2014 when I visited Russia for the first time, flying over Ukraine from Romania the day before the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 tragedy, I half expected to find Martians or Vulcans with green blood that ate babies for lunch. And this is from an open-minded creative person who works in an innately international industry, with many foreign friends, who was already in daily communication with a Russian citizen for many years!
Despite our small cultural differences, people everywhere generally want the same things. We all look quite similar when we smile and laugh as well as when we cry.
I grew up in the heartland of Pennsylvania, went to university in Southern California, in Los Angeles, and most recently lived in Washington, DC for over a decade. My father is from New York City. I am an American through and through, and am proud of it. But one can love America and the values it originally espoused without the need for everyone else to come in second place. We seem to be heading into dangerous thinking recently, and I don’t mean specifically because of any given election result. Fear in various ugly forms, seems sometimes to be on the rise. This is quite sad.
It is my hope that 2CAudio might be a small example of what is possible when people of different backgrounds learn to work together. We are all stronger when we respect and learn from one another. We achieve more when we build bridges instead of walls.

In classical homeopathy, one and only one remedy is chosen to cover all the symptoms (or as many of the symptoms that is possible to cover). Since it is difficult to find such a remedy, practitioners started mixing homeopathic remedies, often with great success. There are various schools of "mixing" and vibropathy is one of them. It combines pure homeopathic remedies with nosodes, radionics rates, flower remedies etc. and the resulting therapies are often both easy to find and efficient in healing.
On the main vibropathy site concentrate on the menu on the left side, from there you will be able to extract the information about vibropathy. Click on SRHVP on the main menu to see the manual and the instructions in using the SAI RAM potentizer. From that page click on List of Remedies to get the list of all remedies in the system. You'll have to wait a bit more for the page to download since it is one enormous table. There are 576 cards, some with only one remedy on it, the others with dozens of remedies on themselves. On each card there is a recommended potency. You are free to change the potency on any card but you should not do it since the whole system functions best when left as it is.
OM -- organ remedies, ali in potency of CM.
Vibropathy is made for beginners and non-doctors alike. It comes from India, where true doctors are really rare compared to the number of people living over there. This system is used from the 1990's, and is best accepted in Eastern countries of Europe, Middle and Far East.
Give #2) TDS for five days in a row; then give remedy #3). Repeat after two weeks. Herem, TDS means "three times a day".
8) Just as any other radionics device, the vibropathy machine can send healing through space (distant healing). You can heal someone in the hospital, in coma on another continent, or even in the same room where the machine is, it doesn't matter at all where the recipient is. A steady flow of energy is coming to him or her. This is similar to Reiki, except that in Reiki you can direct the energy through the time as well.

Bloggers4UKIP: Smart Meters for all! We're saved!
Smart Meters for all! We're saved!
The British government has unveiled plans to install gas and electricity smart meters in every house at the customer's expense. Installation of the smart meters will be mandatory.
According to the British government, the meters will save consumers money and reduce CO2 emissions. The meters don't make electricity or gas cheaper and they don't reduce the amount of electricity or gas an appliance consumes but they will cost the consumer money to install. This makes them cheaper because .... ?
Last week, European politicians voted to roll out smart meters in every building across the Continent by 2022, and set an 80% installation target for 2020. The technology relays info about household electricity use and prices to consumers, who can then alter their habits to cut energy bills often by over 50%.
The European Empire strikes again and once again it's the consumer that ends up paying the cost of the Empire's stupid ideas. But at least we know how it's going to save us money - we can alter our evil capitalist ways and be good little eco-friendly socialists reading Captain Euro magazines to our children by candlelight. In other words, it's not going to save us money at all - it's going to cost every household money to install something that is going to save the gas and electricity companies millions because they won't need meter readers any more.
The economy has hit rock bottom, most of the world is in recession and national debt is touching 150% of GDP so obviously the priority for everyone in the country has got to be spending £7bn on smart peters.
MPs can always claim all their bills on expenses, so why should they care?

6-7 November 2014, Lugano. From 28 September 2014 to 11 January 2015 the Museo Cantonale d’Arte in Lugano will host a major exhibition consecrated to Bartolomeo Suardi, known as Bramantino. The exhibition will trace the artist’s entire cultural and expressive itinerary, from the onset of his career to his very last works. Works of Bramantino will be shown alongside paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures and goldsmith’s art which represent, in a tightly-knit web of exchanges and interferences, the most important Lombard figurative tendencies within the frame of the Italian Wars and the French rule of Lombardy (1499-1525). Since the exhibition will constitute an important opportunity to re-examine the works of Bramantino and of his contemporaries, the Museo Cantonale d’Arte promotes a two-day symposium to present and discuss the most recent studies of the researchers active in this field. The symposium will take place in Lugano from the 6th to the 7th of November 2014. The symposium aims at bringing together art historical presentations as well as technical and scientific investigations reports on specific works. The proceedings of the symposium will then be published in a volume of the series Biblioteca d’Arte Skira. Proposals in the form of an abstract of 2000 keystrokes for a contribution of max. 15-20 minutes should be sent with a brief CV by e-mail. Deadline: 31 July 2014.

HATFL will present the Farrington awards to students for an outstanding performance in all languages and levels tested.
*No students who hold outside experience or heritage learners may be registered for levels I, II, or III. Outside experience is defined as any student who has lived or studied for any length of time in an environment where the target language is spoken. When in doubt contact the language representative on the next page. Heritage Speakers are those students who have been exposed at some level to the language in their home environment.
Part 1: Multiple Choice Exam & Presentational Writing: The multiple choice exam will be given first to all entrants and will be limited to one hour.

Part 2: Interpersonal Speaking: All students competing for the Farrington awards should be prepared to speak about general topics related to course objectives for the test they are taking. Advanced level tests will include the use of past and future tenses in discussing cultural comparisons and contrasts.
ASL: The ASL exam will consist of the Interpersonal Speaking portion ONLY. The top 5 finalists will participate in a secondary round of interviews which will include advanced level topics.
Awards & Ceremony: All students who participate in the Farrington contest will receive a certificate of participation from the proctor administering their written exam. The awards ceremony for finalists will take place immediately following the oral testing and the reception, close to 12:00 noon. Students placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in each category will receive a medal recognizing their accomplishment. The two remaining finalists will receive Honorable Mention medals.

Staying nimble in today’s fast-paced digital world is a challenge. Between uber-competitive markets, the tug-of-war for top-tier talent and ever-changing deadlines for deliverables, it’s hard to keep up. As your company develops exciting new projects, you may need an extra hand to get the job done. When that happens, you’ll want to know your options, especially what hiring models may best fit your situation.
Today, we’ll go over the ins and outs of the most common models: staff augmentation, outsourcing and direct-hire contracting.
Staff augmentation is a way to fill a temporary skills gap at your company. Let’s imagine that your company receives an interesting project from a top client, but you know you’ll have trouble making it happen. Perhaps the project requires a programming language that your staff doesn’t know well, or the deadline is a tight turn-around.
Whatever the reason, your in-house team can’t handle it all.
That’s where staff augmentation comes into play. With it, you can hire one or more team members from outside the company to join your team. Often, these team members will have the expertise and availability to help complete the project. Remember that the core in-house team stays intact; it’s simply supplemented by extra team members to get the job done. This is great for retaining your company’s top talent and maintaining quality expectations.
There are plenty of pros of this model. Generally speaking, it allows for greater flexibility and dynamic adaptation to project needs. For instance, since staff augmentation fills gaps where needed, these workers will no longer be part of your team when the project ends. Staff augmentation is ideal for shifting project requirements, as you don’t have to needlessly hire in-house staff members. In this way, your company strengths are leveraged.
To learn more about the benefits and challenges of staff augmentation, check out our in-depth guide here.
Remember that staff augmentation has three different modalities. Depending on the geographic location of the workers, staff augmentation can be in-country, offshore or nearshore. All three have their benefits and drawbacks, which we’ll mention below.
This means that outside team members are located within the same country as the in-house team. The main advantage of this system is that team members will share national regulations, language and culture. However, in-country staff augmentation is usually more expensive and can limit your talent pool.
Nearshore staff augmentation is when team members are located in a different country, but usually within the same general time zone. For the U.S. markets, nearshore workers often live in Latin America, which has similar time zone coverage. Nearshore staff augmentation helps limit issues with schedules, while also providing a larger talent pool and typically more affordable rates than in-country. In addition, many nearshore workers will share language and cultural understandings. In the case of Latin America, English skills are strong and cultural knowledge of the U.S. is commonplace. A good example of nearshore staff augmentation is Tecla’s talent marketplace, which offers South American staffing services for U.S. markets.
Offshore staff augmentation is a general term for any team members located in different country than the in-house team. Generally, the terms offshore, overseas and foreign staff augmentation are used interchangeably. Offshore staff augmentation shares some benefits of nearshore staff augmentation, except for it may present issues with time zones and diverse cultural understandings.
Another common working model is called outsourcing, or managed services. This model is distinct from staff augmentation in many ways. In general, outsourcing is a hand-off solution where companies contract another firm or team to take control of a project. Often, this means the outsourced team is completely responsible for the results and manages the project on their own. For many companies, this model simplifies matters, since they don’t have to manage anything extra: they simply set the requirements and wait for the deliverables. For others, however, this loss of control can feel a bit scary.
Since you don’t have to worry about managing, and you often have a defined timeframe and budget, you’ll be able reduce overhead costs. This is especially helpful if your core business line has nothing to do with the project you need. For example, perhaps you need a redesign of your website, but your company doesn’t have an IT or design department.
With outsourcing, you can focus what your company does best, and leave the rest to the outsourced firm or team. This way, you won’t be needlessly distracted by tasks that have little to do with your core business.
You may feel a little nervous about handing over the responsibility of a project to another team. Since it’s not your in-house team, you may be hesitant about the outsourced team’s quality and reliability.
When you hand over the project reins to another team, you might not feel 100% comfortable with sharing all your data and intellectual property. However, this is an issue no matter the working model. Be sure to create tight, detailed contracts in order to prevent problems.
Let's not forget that the same modalities apply to outsourcing. Sometimes outsourcing happens in the same country as the in-house team. Other times, you might opt for a nearshore company for greater talent and fewer costs, or an offshore team for a specific skill set. Overall, nearshore and offshore services tend to be more cost-effective than in-country services, though you may need to handle challenges with time zones and cultural differences.
You know your company best and whether the staff augmentation or outsourced model is right for you. Be sure to keep in mind these considerations when deciding how best to augment your teams and finish those key projects.
In addition to staff augmentation and outsourcing, there’s another model called direct-hire contracting. Many specialized agencies (psst, like TECLA) will offer a direct-hire service, so that you can recruit a special contractor directly into your company. This is similar to staff augmentation, except that it focuses on just one worker for a long-term relationship at a company. It’s a one-off recruitment model that can help fill a company’s specific need in the long-run. Remember that in-country, nearshore and offshore modalities are available for direct-hires as well.
A consultant provides expert advices and guides a company on the best way forward. This person is typically highly specialized and know how to assist you in making decisions or guiding you through processes. You might hire a consultant when you’re not sure how to implement a product, or what the best practices may be.
A contractor is a general term to talk about a worker who performs the job. You can contract this worker when your needs are already defined and you simply need high-quality work to get done.
In either case, you can use direct-hire contracting to recruit top talent for a one-off need your company may have. It’s a good option if you have a precisely defined role in mind and just want help recruiting.
Whatever your needs may be, you know your company best. You can decide whether staff augmentation, outsourcing or direct-hire contracting may be right for you. In addition, you should consider whether the in-country, nearshore or offshore modality will best fit your company. Keep in mind these considerations so you can successfully augment your teams and finish those key projects on time.

After having presented his new menswear collection, Tommy Hilfiger has brought on the catwalk leaders dedicated to the women’s line for spring summer 2012. The New York Fashion Week is now in full swing and the calendar of the festival is always full of events. If the men’s collection of the American brand pointed out by the bright color tones and combinations of some ‘daring colors, even the leaders of the women’s collection have their attractive force in color. A color which, however, is not always declined and only in garish shades although it will be difficult to show off these outfits in everyday life.
Fantasies irreverent and geometric forms characterize the outfits that, thanks to asymmetric cut, can enhance any kind of silhouette, even women who want to hide a few extra pounds too. On the catwalk even beachwear with many swimsuits whole and the multicolor prints. A collection casual but certainly not easy to wear.
And what do you think of the proposals of Tommy Hilfiger?

Experience the warmth and charm of the Rossland Inn, one of Rossland’s oldest, original buildings (circa 1898). The walls are adorned with local artwork and photos.
You can choose the short-term or vacation apartment that suits your needs. We offer one, two, three and four bedroom apartments. Enjoy your own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen in your home away from home. You’ll find them fully equipped, including private entry, linen, kitchen, washer/dryer, WiFi and lockable storage for your bike, golf bag, skis or board. Apartments range in size from 800 sq ft to 1,400 sq ft. – spacious and comfortable.
You’ll find our central location in the core of Rossland so convenient. You are walking distance from Rossland’s shops and most popular destinations: the Flying Steamshovel pub, Idgie’s Fine Food restaurant, Rossland Brewery, Rossland Thrift Shop, the Alpine Grind Café and Revolution Cycles.
Hiking and biking trails are a block away. We are on the free winter bus route to Red Mountain Resort and Blackjack Cross Country Ski Club trails. It’s just a 5-minute drive from Red Resort and Redstone Golf Course for more cross country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter months.
We keep the apartments stocked full of local information for biking, hiking, skiing and relaxing. Stay for one or several nights: for singles, couples or families.

Every now and then, we encounter the above argument while cycling on the road. Cyclists neither pay gas tax nor motor vehicle tax like car drivers do. Therefore, gas tax, one could argue, covers road damage caused by cars. Is it fair that there is no such tax on biking?
To figure out a reasonable taxation on the basis of road damages, one would have to calculate which road damage is caused by which means of transportation and determine the amount of taxes on that basis. Road damages are related to the weight of the vehicle. The heavier, the more force affects the road. The damage does not increase linearly, but with the fourth potency. This means that, for example, two tons compared to one ton cause not about twice as much damage but 16 times as much. Which vehicles then cause the most damage to our roads? To a very large extent it is trucks. Due to their weight, one single truck causes as much damage to roads as 100,000 (!) cars.
And bikes, which are much lighter than automobiles, cause no significant road damage at all.
If you looked at the weight of the vehicle only, trucks would pay radically higher tax than cars and bikes, which would be hardly taxed at all. Perhaps car drivers should therefore start to complain about truck drivers, rather than cyclists.
However, this calculation considers only one aspect: road damage. It would be more comprehensive to conduct a more complete analysis of all the external costs of different modes of transportation. External costs are those costs not directly paid by the driver but by society. Instead of taking into account the operating costs of a vehicle (in case of cars that would be for example gasoline), it means looking at social costs – such as the risk for pedestrians to be injured by cars.
External costs emphasize that one party (the driver) has a benefit (to get from A to B), but the costs of the usage (the accident) are carried by a second party. And the second party has no use of the automobile herself. Thus, the second party subsidizes the behavior of the first.
The aim of an economy should be, however, to achieve the optimum economic benefit of all modes of transportation. To achieve this optimum, car drivers pay taxes on gasoline. Wouldn’t those taxes exist, it would be economically worthwhile to use a car much more frequently. The societal costs then would be (even) higher, which is undesirable from an economic perspective: people die in accidents, air pollution challenges our health system, traffic jams our cities etc.
And what if you look at cycling from an economic perspective? Cycling has high external benefits, especially through the extra exercise one gets when cycling, saving a lot of healthcare costs. Contrary to the car, bikes also cause significantly lower external costs, since the latter do not cause air pollution, rarely lead to congestion, use only little space and pose only a low risk for other road users.
So if you think this point all the way through, the national economy, aiming to get the economic optimum, should actually pay people to cycle. Lately, an Australian study has shown that for every 20-minute bike ride, an economic benefit of € 14.50 is gained. From this economic point of view, the current distribution of the tax burden between cars and cyclists would be inappropriate for cyclists. Driving should then be more expensive and cycling should be rewarded financially.
There also is data from Switzerland: pedestrian and bicycle traffic has an external net benefit of 400 million Swiss francs (about 2/3 due to pedestrian traffic), while all other types of traffic combined form a negative external net benefit of 8.5 billion Swiss francs, about 6.8 billion francs thereof due to automobile traffic.
The relation described was also recognized in Norway: cyclists and pedestrians were paid according to their economic benefit. In figures, every pedestrian received € 6 per kilometer, every cyclist € 3. A nice, yet unfortunately unique campaign.

The following message was sent this morning to all members of PatientsLikeMe. Please read what we have to say about openness, sharing and its privacy implications and join the conversation.
What are the privacy implications of sharing in this open, online community? We talk a lot about this and, as a company, strive to be transparent about the risks and rewards to sharing here. Two recent events have prompted me to reach out to all the members of PatientsLikeMe to ensure we all understand openness, sharing and its privacy implications.
We rarely receive a request like this, but since receiving this one, I have thought about it every day. We do not want anyone to be surprised by the impact of sharing data on PatientsLikeMe. We believe in openness, but we also want people to knowingly make the choice to be open with their health information.
This brings me to the second event. Recently, we suspended a user who registered as a patient in the Mood community. This user was not a patient, but rather a computer program that scrapes (i.e. reads and stores) forum information. Our system, which alerts us when an account has looked at too many posts or too many patient profiles within a specified time interval, detected the user. We have verified the account was linked to a major media monitoring company, and we have since sent a cease and desist letter to its executives.
While this was not a security breach, it was a clear violation of our User Agreement (which expressly forbids this type of activity) and, more significantly, a violation of the community’s trust. Your Account Information (e.g. your names and emails) was NOT in danger of being stolen. It is likely that the forum information that was “scraped” would be sold as part of that company’s Internet monitoring product. In fact, we sell a similar service, PatientsLikeMeListenTM, to our clients so they better understand the voice of the patient.
What does this all mean to you? What can you do?
We recognize that people write very personal things in the forum and often use real names. In any growing network of tens of thousands of members, there is no way to ensure that information you share in the forum or on your profiles will not be read by others. Know that the information you enter in our system is shared (unless we tell you it is private, like full name and email in your Account Information). It can and will be read by other patients, the PatientsLikeMe team, researchers, and others that use PatientsLikeMe, including our partners with whom we share de-identified data.
Please weigh the benefits of sharing and the amazing value you all create in helping each other versus the risks of people, unknown to you, reading your posts. Your input helps PatientsLikeMe and our partners learn about your disease and make better products to meet your needs.
Learn and understand why we value openness. If you haven’t, please read the Read This! FAQ. If you want to know how we make money, you can take a look at this FAQ or go to our Partners Page and know that we sell your data and insights (but not your identity) to our customers.
Consider the value of being part of the PatientsLikeMe community and make the right risk decisions for yourself. Together, we can really change the way diseases are treated and managed by putting you, the patients, in the center of healthcare. We can hold companies accountable for the strengths and weaknesses of their products and also help make those products better – but that requires openness and that is your choice.
We welcome your comments and questions and we love feedback. This has been posted on our blog, which is a good place to dialogue, as is the forum.
On behalf of the entire PatientsLikeMe team, I want to thank you for being part of our communities and sharing your experiences.
I can live with you selling the information as long as you continue to reinvest in the infrastructure of the site and keep it more than just up to date. Cutting edge is what I have found here and I expect you will still provide this.
By the way PLM is currently cutting edge, and you provide an invaluable service to the patients that communicate with each other every day.
I am also part of LinkedIn and they are miles behind you!
Please keep up the great work you are doing, you have no idea how much it is appreciated!
I have no problem… one of the worst things about my mother’s disease (PSP)was how little known it is. Until a disease is well-known, there will be inadequate funding for research into cause or treatment. It would have done me so much good if there had been a support group meeting, in person, locally. That can’t happen until we know one another.
Perhaps John Wayne said it, perhaps his movie character Sgt. Stryker said it, perhaps someone else said it; but regrdless of attribution, the aphorism “Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid,” applies here. If you don’t want the world to know about it, don’t put it on the internet.
This is excellent Ben and thanks for writing this.
Recently Fast Company wrote an article about the fact that Facebook began showing all of our contact and other information. The article points out that in this electronic age, we are going to have less and less privacy.
For people from the ‘old school’, like me, where people respect other’s needs, personal challenges and privacy this is taking some adaptation. Unless I stop using my computer, phone and anything that stores or records information…including mall and freeway cameras…everything I do is now PUBLIC! With the threat of terrorism, the legal barriers that once protected privacy and personal information are being eroded steadily. Worst of all, companies like the one you mentioned, (and governments), inevitably exploit this information.
As a Hospital and Clinical Pharmacist and then a Business/Personal Coach, I have kept sacred my patient’s and clients information for over 40 years. My role and responsibility is to help people build healthy and more effective lives and inevitably there are a few tears and failures along that path. But this is OK, because it is all part of what makes us human, vulnerable and worth supporting.
In my experience, all of us are the same. We have things that work and do not work, births, deaths, disease, divorce, crime, broken bodies, spirits and hearts. But knowing this, it is important that we continue to reach out to one another and share our pain as well as our successes. The experience of a community of patients is a golden resource that should not be restrained or with-held from others seeking answers to their challenges.
Therefore, I encourage members of this site to be bold, brave and don’t let external forces prevent you from reaching out, sharing and supporting one another. To not do so is to give in to those that would usurp or exploit us and in the process people would end up being alone once more, with far fewer resources and much less real life experience of drugs and treatments to share.
I find such value in this site. Just knowing you’re here is a relief. Given that anyone can secure information for any place, I won’t let a few cracked hackers silence me.
now can legally obtain the neupro patch. I found the patch beneficial in my pd treatment and have found no replacement treatment. I think FDA is penalizing PD patients who found the patch benefical by this decision. Does any other PD patient want to protest this decision?
If so, how do we protest?
Ben, this is a blue-ribbon message. Really exemplary.
For both items, you said clearly & simply what people needed to know. Also, I was particularly impressed with your bot-detector software, and the top-notch clear/concise description of what such things do.
I felt like I could be open in my account entirely due to the fact that no one can use this information against me as I do not work and am retired plus I have openly discussed the use of this site to my treating Dr, or pdoc. So I am not worried about my information being misused. If anyone wants to harm me with this information that I have on this site I sincerely doubt they will be able to do so.
I don’t see that patients like me can do me any harm just some good conversation.
PLM isn’t “cutting edge” .. both Google and Microsoft have similar projects .. Microsoft has a health vault sort of thing .. and so does Google .. they’re just not at the advanced stage that PLM’s at, right now .. especially having integrated the forums .. (plenty of those on the web .. like webmd.com .. psychorg.com, etc.) ..
I have a thing against Pharma firms .. they’re in the business of keeping people SICK .. (otherwise, let’s face it, they’d be so out of business) .. after all, pharmaceuticals are a huge lobby .. and I firmly believe, are the reason why cures to things such as cancer aren’t being made public .. otherwise, can you imagine? .. if the cure to cancer were to be found .. how many of these pharmaceuticals would go out of business? ..
I don’t know if I’m comfortable with my personal data/information being sold to these firms.
Thank you for watching over us without taking away our ability to make our own choices and decisions. It is a personal journey (actually I prefer to call my experiences an adventure) and like everything in life there are associated risks. What I love about PLM is the grown up, no nonsense, clear way you ‘speak’, bravo.
And a quick note to Jimm Hughey thanking him for his beautifully crafted comment, which I found insightful and eloquent.
I want to ask you what is the right way (if there is any) for monitoring media companies to access the data from PatientsLikeMe?
Good question. The best way is to contact us through partners@patientslikeme.com so we can understand the nature of the request and begin a dialogue.
Massive kudos Ben! I am not a patient, nor am I a member, but I do consider myself a passionate patient advocate. I have blogged twice this week about the essential need for transparency regarding patient data and it’s impact. patientslikeme.com is a huge leap forward, congratulations.
I just wondered who did the member think was reading her comments, when she posted her experiences?
I guess it is still not clear to many people- ANYTHING POSTED ON A NETWORKING SITE OR BLOG IS NEVER PRIVATE.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification Ben- Mr. Heywood, for all to read. I truly appreciated this site when i was first diagnosed. It brought me great comfort and solace, knowing I am not alone in my illness- Fibromyalgia.
I just wanted to say that I felt the whole point of this website was to share personal information with others so there could be an open exchange of ideas to help “think outside the box” regarding our issues to help us be more proactive in our treatment. I personally knew when I signed up that it would be public information. I have also found that I have helped others in similar situations due to what I shared. Talk about validating!
Happy Valentine Day. 28. Happy Valentine’s day dear.

“For most of my life,” writes José Parlá, “I have experienced being in transition and migration.” As he moves through a layered world of multiple cultures and geographies, Parlá’s intensively textured works move between spaces and mediums: they encompass painting and sculpture, wall fragments brought inside gallery spaces or installed in public, and the polymorphous influence of the underground art scene of the 1980s. In the past several years, Parlá has written his memory- and space-inflected aesthetic into the physical spaces and buildings of New York City, with permanent murals at One World Trade Center, Barclays Center, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. 2015 saw his first museum solo exhibition at the High Museum of Art, in Atlanta; his second appearance at the Havana Biennial in the spring; and a major show of paintings and sculptural works at Bryce Wolkowitz and Mary Boone galleries in the fall. On a one-day trip from Los Angeles near year’s end, Parlá welcomed Laila Pedro to his Brooklyn studio to reflect on his trajectory, share work in progress, and talk about the evolution of his expansive practice.
Portrait of José Parlá by Phong Bui. Pencil on paper. From a photo by Taylor Dafoe.
Laila Pedro (Rail): Your personal and artistic itinerary has always had a very international, multicultural turn—you’re drawing from and incorporating a lot of influences.
Jose Parlá: Over the years, I have been interested in connecting my environment and history to what I do as an artist. That interest inspires moving and traveling, so that I can see how different people behave and what other places are like. My own upbringing as a kid was multicultural—I grew up in Puerto Rico and Miami and have Cuban roots. Knowing that the people of Cuba are made up of a large melting pot of cultures is the DNA driving the desire for diversity in what I do. As a teenager I lived in very diverse neighborhoods in Miami, with a mix of African American, Jamaican, Colombian, Nicaraguan, Cuban, and other Latin American cultures. In 1990, I went to college in Savannah, at Savannah College of Art and Design [SCAD], where I was one of the only Spanish-speaking students. I searched for common ground and ended up making all kinds of friends from all over the world before moving to Atlanta and then to New York. My early years of development as an artist influenced my itinerary of constant movement.
Rail: Did you move to Brooklyn right away?
Parlá: I moved to the Bronx for the first two years, and then to Brooklyn, where I’ve been for nearly twenty years. New York was the base for my first travels—to Europe and Asia—and it was also from New York that I first visited Cuba and my family there. Moving to New York in the mid-late ’90s was great because it was the beginning of an era that was becoming digital. To witness globalization and the return to urbanized lifestyles for people meant that, as an artist, I was also a part of that development. Between 1995 and the early 2000s I was able to travel and also exhibit in London, Tokyo and other cities in Japan, as well as Sydney, Melbourne, San Juan, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Paris, and other places. I saw the art, music, design, and architecture all start to build on the energy of the path the underground had paved. Even Havana, which is analogue and was not—and still is not—very connected to the internet, was engaging the world with art and culture.
Rail: It’s an interesting moment to be going back and forth.
Parlá: It is an interesting moment; for me, it’s also interesting to see people that are going for the first time and want to return and be involved in Cuba’s future. I started going in the late ’90s, and I have seen so many interesting things unfold. In 2012 I went with my friend, the artist JR, to work on a truly special project, The Wrinkles of the City, Havana Cuba. It was a large-scale mural collaboration that also included a film and a book component. To be able work in the public sphere in Cuba really expanded my practice and changed my life.
Rail: That was one of the first pieces that got me really interested in the greater scope of your work, beyond the paintings.
Parlá: That was an epic time for me because it was the first time I really worked in Cuba. We interviewed twenty-five elderly folks on the streets of the city and created dozens of murals dedicated to their stories. Growing up I never had the opportunity to travel to Cuba—it was not allowed—and because of that I never met my grandparents on either side of my family. Working on this project and getting to know the people JR and I interviewed was like meeting my grandparents; or, at least, I felt connected to the collective consciousness of their era.
Rail: How did that project come together?
Parlá: The Havana Biennial invited JR to participate; one day, having lunch at JR’s studio, my brother Rey suggested that we could do a trade of each other’s work. We felt that our work had a lot in common and that the collaboration was an organic one that could be worked onto the surfaces of the textured and historical walls of Havana.
The project encompassed many elements; we both love to document everything, so it grew from making murals to making a film about two artists collaborating, and showing the stories of the Cuban people who had lived more than half a century and had seen Cuba before and since the revolution. And, although we had been invited and had plenty of autonomy, we were careful, too. We didn’t have all the permits for filming, so we were constantly surprised that we weren’t getting into trouble.

After months of preparations—producing the murals, editing a movie and a book—we showed the film in Miami for the first time during Art Basel Miami Beach 2012. Along with all the international art-world people, and the local Cuban people who had never been to Cuba before, the audience included members of the Cuban Ministry of Culture. And it was emotional—a great moment.
Rail: Working without permits, interviewing strangers on the street—do you think some of that willingness to just do what you want to do stems from your early practice? That seems like what the approach to painting walls in the ’80s would be, no? Just going for it.
Parlá: That project definitely had the spirit of the early-’80s guerrilla art style, but the difference was that we were doing it all in the daytime. Havana as a city feels somewhat like the first time I ever came to the Bronx in the ’80s when it was kind of wild, except that Havana doesn’t have the same crime elements—it’s a raw place full of exciting things changing and happening, and there is crime, but not the way you would remember New York in those days.
The sense of community is like nowhere else in the world. The way that we work, we were always on ladders, so we had to find people who had electric trucks with lifts, so we could get higher. There was an element of always finding a solution to tons of problems that would arise every single day. If a building was falling down, we had to tie the wall with a rope so it wouldn’t fall on us, or we would be working and walls would hit our heads. Everything is kind of raw, so it did feel like when I used to go paint walls in Miami or in New York in the ’80s, and the ’90s, illegally—you were in situations where you were climbing stuff, and it was dirty, and it was grimy. It’s different from the studio—when you’re working in the daytime, in public, a lot of people walking by want to talk and ask you questions while you’re painting, and that interaction is priceless; their curiosity feeds you.
Rail: So you’re bringing the community into the work.
Parlá: We brought the community into this project with every single piece, literally. The whole feeling of the project was of a major collaboration with the public. There was interaction on many levels throughout our process. We would invite kids to see our books and photos and to mix paint and assist us in pasting JR’s photos, or to learn how to paint with me. We met local Cuban rock climbers who taught us to hang from ropes to paint the larger murals.
Rail: In addition to the lived experience in present-day Havana, you are also in conversation with Cuban art history—specifically with the legacy of the seminal painter Wifredo Lam—in your first solo museum show at the High Museum in Atlanta. How did you interact with his work in that context?
Parlá: Michael Rooks, the curator of contemporary art at the High Museum, invited me to participate in a solo show that would be in dialogue with the concurrent retrospective of Lam. I decided to make both paintings and sculptures, and in the paintings I worked with large geometric lines, extensions of three-dimensional letters, or objects that played on the surreal, elongated, figurative images in Lam’s work that sometimes depict Yoruba deities like Eleguá, Yemayá or Changó. The titles of my works in the show are in the Lucumi Yoruba language, and many deal with music, religion, and the sea—El Camino de Neptuno, for example.
Rail: This spring, you returned to the Havana Biennial—can you tell me a bit about the experience of creating Detrás del Muro?
Parlá: For the Detrás del Muro project I made four new sculptures, painted on both sides, that reflected city intersections between Miami, Havana, New York, and San Juan. These are inspired by places significant to my upbringing and my family’s migration. The sculptures were exhibited at the Antonio Maceo plaza on the Malecón, the famous sea wall in Havana, and Juanito Delgado curated it.
Rail: Then in the fall, you had the show Surface Body/Action Space. In Cuba you had one kind of community dialogue; that show it seemed like you were again referencing history and art history, right? We were talking earlier about Cy Twombly; what are some other historical influences for you?
Parlá: There’s a piece called Nuevo Rumbo (2015) that was in Mary Boone’s gallery. It is a 6 × 24-foot landscape, diptych painting. In that one I wanted to do two things—one was talk about what’s going on with the history of Cuba and the United States. Two, I wanted to make connections to historical landscape painting. The work is very tumultuous; it’s made of layers and layers, and you can really dig in. In my imagination, it deals with history going back to indigenous and pre-Colonial times all the way through the early days of Cuban Independence to the days of World War II, the Cuban Revolution, Bay of Pigs, the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and then the landscape starts to clear—which is precisely December of 2014, when President Obama announces normalizing relations. So hope starts to open up, and the composition reflects that.

Some of the sculptural pieces in the show are very much like intersections in particular places: it could be Coral Way and 87th Avenue in Miami, it could be 106th and Park in Harlem, it could be Flitcroft Street in London. It’s about particular places, particular communities, and what people do to walls. So, somebody painted over something, put a poster up and ripped it, another person came—and it’s imagining those characters. Outside of that, it also nods to other sculptors and the history of painting and sculpture, so they became like sculptural paintings. It’s kind of new for me—I was interested in doing that because it was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling and the so-called end of the Cold War, which made me think of the historical significance of where we are now with the United States and Cuba. When we heard the news of the Berlin Wall falling in 1989 there was a sense that it meant Cuba would soon be changing—but it’s been twenty-five years and now it’s starting to change, so it’s another little nod to history.

I wouldn’t say that my work is abstract because there’s always so much that connects the work to history or something specific. At first you might think it’s an abstraction, but then you get closer and it’s not; it’s like a real close-up of a real wall. It could be realistic, or you could find something in it that leads you into your own path or your own story—it doesn’t necessarily have to be mine. I like to find relevance in works that have led me from past histories in my own life to something that’s new now in our present.
Rail: Bringing it back to your own history, and to finding those spots of relevance or resonance, let’s talk about the physicality—the embodied quality—of your work. You’ve talked about it feeling almost like dancing sometimes.
Parlá: When you have larger paintings and you’re on your feet all the time you are no longer just using your elbows and hands to move the paint, you’re using the full length of your body. Your arm is extended from top to bottom—you can see some of the lines are really long; some of those I really jump across the canvas, and I’m up on a ladder and I jump off the ladder, or I bring tons of texture with both hands, and I attack the canvas in a forceful way. So there is a lot of action painting in the work, which I think is necessary. The type of energy I bring to painting is unique in the sense that I grew up dancing and I love that feeling. I bring it to the paintings because it’s very much me, who I am—that physicality is important not only because of what I’m doing to the painting, but beacause of what it symbolizes.
Rail: Do you listen to music while you work?
Parlá: Sometimes, most of the time, but sometimes I have to just have silence.
Rail: Let’s go back to the question of materiality. You were showing me some of the work in progress downstairs and talking about how that process evolved a little bit; can we talk more about how you use that remaining white space on the canvas, the question of time, how you let the elements work with you?

Parlá: When I’m in the studio I don’t want to repeat what I’ve done for years; I want to try to incorporate new things, and invent new things, and play with it. You have to pay a lot of attention to what you’re doing, but you also have to spend a lot more time with it, so that you can understand new ways to work. If you’re using acrylic you’re limited to how much time you have before the acrylic dries, so you can manipulate it, so you develop a clock for it, and that clock is so internal that you just know it, you don’t have to put a timer on—it’s okay, I want to do this, I’m going to go walk away and work on this other painting—but in the back of your mind it’s pulling you towards that, like, ten minutes, fifteen minutes that you needed for it to almost dry to go and lift some paint off, or to continue the technique.
I am constantly experimenting and figuring things out, and then you make choices, where it’s like the large painting you liked—I wanted it initially to be something else, but then you look and realize that the process is more interesting than where you thought you were going. Painting sometimes becomes about not doing anything to the painting, but about watching it and then spending time just looking at it, and that is just as important as making something happen. The same thing goes for sitting on a corner in Brooklyn or any city and looking at people going by. And that is part of the work to me because you’re absorbing it, and eventually you’ll bring it back to what you do.
Rail: In the past few years you’ve been making work for large-scale architectural spaces—ONE: Union of the Senses, at One World Trade Center; Barclays Center; Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Snøhetta-designed Hunt Library in Raleigh. Has your work naturally lent itself to those kinds of spaces or have you had to develop new strategies for these more monumental contexts?
Parlá: It’s interesting, I developed the confidence to do large-scale works because that’s how I started and I trained for years around the city on large walls. When we were going around painting in the early days, you’d work with your friends to do huge things. You would do a whole train, you would do a massive wall, you knew how much time you had to do this blend of colors, and then your foreground, and your background, and your sketching, and you just knew how to work big because that’s how we taught each other to work. That’s not something you could have learned at school. I never did any large-scale painting classes at art school. That’s all stuff that was self-taught or taught between friends when we were much younger.
Then I went to school and, as you know, I was never comfortable with terms like “graffiti art,” or “street art.” Even back in the ’80s, I thought those were really lazy terms that came from people who were outside the culture, who were trying to understand the subculture but had no idea. People were writing articles in the early ’80s about what was happening out in the Bronx like they knew what was up because they’d spent one afternoon with a kid from Washington Heights. And they didn’t know what was up, but they were talking about it like they did. Then everyone else read it, including young artists who didn’t know how to really absorb that, and they believed it.
There came a point for me when the entire art form and subculture were being milked to the bone. I started to pay attention to that and I was like, “I don’t want to milk that, I want to go experimental, I want to spend time figuring it out.” I wanted it to remain grimy, like the abandoned buildings or the tunnels I explored, so I kept thinking about location and about what those environments meant; it wasn’t just a look that I was going for, but a meaning. So, the meaning: why does a painting look like a place that is deteriorated? Because the place has been neglected, there’s poverty, there’s a status in that society that is not as educated, or doesn’t have access to a certain kind of worldly understanding. I wanted to reflect that in the paintings. Not that I had a worldly understanding; I am still learning every day. But for me there was a need to reflect what I saw and how I lived. And if there was writing on the wall, and there was a poster that was torn, all that reflects the kind of anger that exists in these places and the kind of misunderstanding that is being lived. That’s what the paintings started to become about, but they were in the studio, so then I became incubated as an artist, and I wasn’t painting large-scale all of the time, but I never lost the touch of how to do large-scale pieces. And the bigger the studios got over the years—even if they were tiny for that time, they were big for me—the larger and larger I started to paint.
One of the pieces that is most important to me is titled Gemini; I did it in 2001 in reaction to the September 11th attacks. At the time it was big for me—eight feet tall by twenty feet wide—and I layered it and I layered it, and I worked on it for like, six months. It was such a cathartic piece that at the end of it I was sick. It was a crazy time to be here and it was really a kind of unhealthy situation to go through; and all the artists that I knew were all talking about it—not just the artists, but everybody. That made me want to go back into large-scale again, because I felt like there was an energy and a message that I could convey that was gestural, that was body-sized, that couldn’t be done with smaller works.
All the mural projects came about because I had done several large paintings abroad, in Japan and Canada—commissioned, public mural works—and then the Cuba project came along, which was really pretty massive. I think working with architects, you already know it’s a monumental piece, it’s a permanent piece, and it’s large-scale. You asked me if I had to adapt a little bit to do those murals—you always are adapting, when you have a certain specific thing that’s going on.

Rail: It’s a heady thing.
Parlá: It’s massive—it’s ninety feet. It was a big responsibility. I started out painting planes of color that suggested valleys and mountains—really minimal compositions to get the colors and the blends going. Being able to step back and look at such a large piece from some distance allowed me to properly see what direction I was going in.
Rail: So the architecture of this studio facilitated the making of this art piece for another architectural space?
Parlá: Yes. If you’re on the ground level, you can see it only one way, but I had the option to see it from the mezzanine, so I had two angles. When it was a much simpler painting, I would go over here and do, like, this pink area, and come run up here, and then my eye would go, “Wow, you need something there,” and I would run back down, and do that. It was a physical workout to run around in the studio, and up and down the ladders I had set up.
And then, I can’t explain it, but it was like a kind of synesthesia—all of my senses were combining into this painting, and I had blocked the world out. It was really important to do that, and I spent almost ten months in front of this painting, back and forth, back and forth, painting, running around the studio. You’re only so small, and the mural’s so tall, so I felt I was always inside of this gigantic color field. Even though I’d look at the floor or look around the studio, that’s what was dominating the place. At one point I felt it was very psychological to be in the middle of that space. I was constantly asking myself, “What is this painting about?” And then it came to me one day. I kept jumping off the ladder. I would be on the top of the ladder and I would jump off and do like these long flourishes off the words in the paintings and lines, and I would do that so often that at one point I thought, “What am I doing?” and suddenly I wrote the word “union.” It came to me. And I was like, what is it, what is it? And I kept thinking about this feeling of synesthesia I had gotten months before. I worked really late at night, I remember. And the next morning I rode my bike back to the studio, and when I was riding my bike it came to me again: synesthesia—this feeling like I was all absorbed into it. And I started reading about it and talking about it and basically, it came to me: it was the union of the senses. And I wanted it to be that for people who would see it, for several reasons—because the world needs more unity, and the more that people have a sense of that, I think the fewer problems we’ll have. So the piece [ONE: Union of the Senses] was a big message about love and compassion—all the things that sound whimsical when you say them out loud, but that’s what was going through my mind.
Rail: When it comes from the lived experience of making the work, it’s real—you can’t really argue with that. I have one last question for you, which is: what is going on in L.A.? Can you talk about it? [Laughter].
Parlá: It happened really organically. I knew that I wanted a break after all these recent projects, that I just wanted a space to go and think. I actually began by going to London, where I thought I’d stay awhile, until I saw a friend who convinced me to go to L.A. He offered me a very interesting midcentury-modern kind of tree house and it just seemed like the perfect thing to do. It looked peaceful. I thought I’d just go there and write or read and relax—but I kept feeling like painting, and then I also started working on some sculptures and different installation ideas. I spent the first week just rummaging around nature, finding logs, painting weird things, making paintings. And then I realized it was turning into something. Another friend, an architect, who has been working in San Francisco, came to visit and we started doing these landscape pieces, onto one of the abandoned construction parts of the house that was never built, so it has these broken foundations—almost like ruins. And it all started to make perfect sense for my work: there are these pieces that are walls that are crumbling, but it’s all in nature. I’ve been adapting that into the work and I’ve been doing new paintings, and it’ll all turn into a project around this tree house. It’s new work, very different-looking work from what I’m accustomed to doing. We’ll see where it goes from here.
