The UT RTF department consistently ranks in the top ten programs in the U.S. for both the academic study of media and for media production.
UT RTF doctoral alumni are producing valuable research, publishing innovative work, contributing to academic and policy debates on key communication and media issues, and inspiring better media practices. Our students regularly publish in highly ranked peer-reviewed journals, including Cinema Journal; New Media & Society; Media, Culture, and Society; Television & New Media, and more.
Media Studies faculty and graduate students produce valuable research contributing to academic and policy debates on key issues in media and communication. Our program is distinctive in providing students with exposure to both humanistic and social scientific approaches to the critical study of the media.
Scholarship and coursework in RTF’s Media Studies Program examine the central role of media in culture, society, the arts, and politics, within historical as well as diverse local, regional, national, and global contexts. Both in the classroom as well as in their research, our top-tier faculty examine how media engage cultural practices, political participation, and social interactions within economic structures and technological systems. We teach and research a wide range of legacy and emerging media forms, including but not limited to film, television, digital media, radio, mobile technologies, and interactive games. We explore media as sites for the articulation and struggle over identity, with attention to issues of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion, and generation. We value multiple theoretical and methodological approaches through the interdisciplinary study of industry, policy, production, texts, and audiences. Our program aims to inspire better media practices as well as informed citizen engagement through media literacy based in empirical work.
The Digital Media cluster emphasizes a) knowledge of how communication technologies have developed historically; b) the social and cultural functions and dynamics associated with digital media systems; and c) how elements of art and design figure into expressions of and interactions with digital media. Courses address social media, new media industries and also examine ethical issues such as IP, copyright, and free speech developing around the digital media environment.
Courses in this cluster focus on global perspectives in media as well as specific regional and national contexts. Topics include film, television, digital and social media, as well as development, politics, and immigration, among others. Courses in global settings engage subjects in regions such as Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and nations such as Mexico, Brazil, India, China, and the UK.
Courses in the Identity and Representation cluster examine film, television, digital media, and mediated culture in relation to the construction and politics of gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, citizenship and other axes of identity. Topics addressed in these courses include representation, authorship, inclusion, and advocacy within the media industries and social life more broadly, and community identities and formation in relation to the entertainment media and popular culture. Courses within the cluster are decidedly interdisciplinary, with theoretical roots in critical and cultural studies, historical studies, critical race studies, feminist media studies, queer studies, postcolonial studies, global studies, and other theoretical perspectives. Students can specialize in areas that include Latina/o film and media studies, fandom studies, television and digital media studies, South Asian film and media studies, and gender and Hollywood film.
RTF students engaged with this cluster frequently take courses in other departments and programs across the University, including Women’s & Gender Studies, Mexican American and Latina/o Studies, African and African Diaspora Studies, Asian American Studies, English, the LBJ School of Public Policy, Anthropology, and Theater and Dance, as well as in departments that focus on area studies outside the U.S.
Courses offered in the Industry, History, and Criticism cluster examine film, television, and digital media across the globe through a rich variety of methodological frameworks and critical lenses. A wide range of courses survey the media industries in relation to topics such as identity, region, fandom, stardom, and storytelling. In addition to varied offerings on industry and audiences, we offer courses emphasizing the importance of historical context, aesthetic analysis, and critical theory.
RTF graduate students benefit from access to several archival collections, including the Harry Ransom Center (site for the Robert De Niro, David O. Selznick and newly acquired Mad Men collections, among others), the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, and the LBJ Library. They can also take advantage of proximity to Austin’s vibrant media industries.
As globalization brings the world more closely together in certain ways, it pulls us apart in other ways. Many media scholars are examining these environments, technologies and international dynamics in order to improve understanding and to harness the tremendous abilities of new media systems to improve economic, democratic and social conditions. This area of study emphasizes the issues surrounding activism, technology, and cultural production using a critical frame and critical epistemologies. It requires sound methodological preparation as well as supervised research experience.
The Media, Technology and Social Change cluster incorporates (1) opportunities for formal participation on at least one research project and also (2) the potential to take part in a sponsored summer internship with a project or agency using communication systems or exploring communication policy or social change in some way.
The PhD with concentration in Media Studies is a scholarly degree incorporating coursework, comprehensive exams, and research culminating in a dissertation. Students are expected to present their work at conferences and produce original work that is worthy of publication. Students admitted to this program must have already earned an M.A. degree. We do not have a PhD program in Film and Media Production or in in Screenwriting.
Curricular requirements include 6 credit hours in theory and literature (RTF 395), and 12 credit hours of research tools or language (including RTF 380). The department also requires students to complete nine credit hours in a minor field, outside the RTF department. Minor work may be taken in the College of Communication or elsewhere in the University.
All Ph.D. students are guaranteed four years of funding in the form of Teaching or Research Assistantships.
Portfolio programs provide opportunities for students to obtain credentials in a cross-disciplinary academic area of inquiry during the same time that they complete the requirements for their doctoral degree. With these programs, students take thematically related graduate courses.

Across Liverpool NUT, PCS, UCU and ATL trade unionist members walked out on strike. Schools, courts and jobcentres were among the services affected as public sector workers striked against proposed pension changes.
Later, there was a demonstration and march through the city centre by about 2000 supporters of the action - really colourful and enthusiastic set of banners and placards. Crowds were so large, that they couldn’t be accomodated in the original venue for the speakers, the Black-e, so the rally took place outside.
I was there as a freelance Liverpool based photographer and submitted images to a number of national press agencies.

AT a recent rally in Thar, Prime Minister Imran Khan thundered that the desert region’s abundant coal reserves — its ‘black gold’ — would bring prosperity to the people there. Coming from a self-proclaimed environmentalist, these words are not only disappointing, but potentially dangerous. In fact, they may pose an existential threat to not only the people of Thar and Sindh, but the entire nation.
When the prime minister launched the Clean Green Pakistan initiative last October and promoted the idea of the ‘10 Billion Tree Tsunami’, it triggered a sense of optimism among those who care deeply about the nation’s sustainable future. Perhaps for the first time, it appeared as if the reins of the state were finally taken over by someone who was driven by a vision that encompassed the long-term well-being of the people and not just his own re-election. That optimism seems to be eroding now.
It is a fact that the people of Thar are devoid of economic opportunities. With a population of 1.7 million — 75 per cent live below the poverty line, which shoots up with every drought — the region’s welfare should be our policymakers’ top priority. The available choices, however, should be evaluated on the basis of a criterion that ensures multidimensional development. In this regard, coal is possibly the least potent means of all.
What plans are in place to offset the looming damage of coal-related commercial activities for Thar?
To start with, Thar’s coal deposits comprise inferior quality lignite and sub-bituminous characteristics. The Geological Survey of Pakistan analysis proves that these are among our least-valued coal grades due to the high moisture content and low heating value. Furthermore, of the oft purported ‘reserves’ of 175bn tonnes, less than 5pc are measured and the rest are theoretical estimates. The proven reserves of 7bn tonnes are not fully recoverable either.
The PML-N administration built an entire case on the massive coal power buildout on the basis that the fleet will provide cheap electricity and improve the balance of payment. If the present government believes in a fraction of that narrative, it must realise that it is misled. The operational and permitted plants vividly indicate why tariffs shouldn’t be accorded for coal power producers in the future.
Between 2015 and 2016, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority granted tariffs to developers for about 9,500MW of coal capacity. Over 60pc of that capacity will burn imported fuel because policymakers agreed that it is a better alternative to Thar’s lignite. Moreover, coal power producers were guaranteed an overly lucrative rate of return, which could be higher than the rates offered for other technologies during that period and was awarded at the behest of the federal government.
Since imported fuel cost is over half the total tariff, these plants could worsen our trade imbalance through 2050 and generate expensive electricity. A case in point is the 1,320MW Sahiwal plant, which produced power for Rs11.25/kWh in February 2019, compared to the originally estimated tariff of 8.2 Rs/kWh. The cost for the consumer soars if the equity and loan repayments are repatriated in a foreign currency since the rupee has depreciated substantially.
On the technical front, coal power plants offer some merits which are overvalued by bureaucrats who usually run the show in ministries. With uninterrupted fuel supply, coal plants can provide electricity without varying generation and load. The so-called baseload characteristic of these plants causes inflexibility because they should keep running regardless of the electricity demand. Notwithstanding the fact that our power demand is highly seasonal ranging between 25,000MW to 10,000MW, depending on the weather— the politicians and bureaucrats professed the need for baseload generation and permitted an excessive capacity of coal-fired power projects.
The coal power value chain emits large amounts of pollutants and clean water is among the key input requirements for thermal power stations. If employed, the Tharis will be paid poorly to ensure “commercial viability” of the mines. While at work, the miners will be exposed to chemical substances and coal dust that cause a host of lung and respiratory diseases. For those who escape these miseries, the stacks of power stations will emit enough sulphur, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and mercury that they will be worse off by not leaving their ancestral lands.
On behalf of the Tharis, it is worth asking the provincial and federal authorities: when coal projects are building infrastructure to consume trillions of litres of water every year, why do the locals not have access to clean drinking water? What mitigation plans are in place to offset the looming damage of coal-related commercial activities for the Thar region and for the rest of the country? The pitiful irony is that the functionaries and politicians who are wrestling to take the ‘credit’ for Thar’s recently built coal power project blame each other for the region’s destitution, and its starving children.
Surely, the people of Thar deserve better. They would be better served not by earning a few thousand rupees while mining for some billionaire corporates of Karachi and Beijing, but by economic opportunities that do not jeopardise their health and environment — and are identified in consultation with them.
Interestingly, at the same rally, the prime minister lauded Thar’s solar energy endowment. He rightly noted that instead of constructing a miles-long grid, solar power is a cost-effective technology for the region’s power needs. I wish someone in the audience had asked that since such a commendable realisation exists, why are the policymakers in Karachi and Islamabad drawing up plans for the local villages’ displacement. Why is the rest of the country being deprived of this ‘yellow gold’ (solar energy), which is available through the length and breadth of the country? Arguably, Clean Green Pakistan and massive coal mining in Thar cannot go hand in hand. We will have to choose one or the other.
the US, Germany,UK, China and India to name a few still use coal to produce electricity, it's dirty and yes there is the issue of pollution and yet western nations are quick to sermonise to poorer countries to use less pollutant means to develop electricity for the nation yet at the same time they themselvesstill use coal and come up with a myriad of excuses. we need to use coal for at least a decade or two, while at the same time developing power generation through dams, wind and nuclear. As reliance on only one form of electricity generation could put the national security at risk. our industry and domestic users require constant supply of electricity and as such there is a requirement foe coal as well. in all this the drive to plant more trees should pressed ahead as fervently as possible, even in arid regions using drip technology.

The development of preventive medicine by interventions before the patient even becomes ill, of personalised and predictive medicine through the management of big data, DNA sequencing that will enable adaptive treatments, and relationships between doctors and hyper-connected and informed patients … the healthcare of the future will be digital and will radically change the current ecosystem.
The digital hospital will also change current relationships between hospitals and society in general. To avoid spending thousands of euros on hospital admissions, the idea is to spend less time in hospital.
The role of the hospital will therefore evolve and be increasingly based on diagnoses and interventions. This will mean improved levels of patient comfort and reduced social security costs.
A new type of healthcare is beginning to take shape that is focused on the “coordination” of new professions and smart devices around the patient, and on the involvement of patients and their loved ones. Attitudes are also changing: the prevailing idea is for patients to become “an actor in their own follow-up”. Patients will get help to manage their conditions: diabetes, respiratory or cardiovascular disease, obesity or cancer.
Currently, all healthcare actors operate in the digital world – hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and most patients.
are also mobile and have become so by using their own equipment or that supplied by the institution.
The challenge is now to transform practices around digital technology.
The appearance of sensors on machines and products enables a substantial amount of data to be collected. With good processing and analytical tools, this data will allow production lines to be optimized by identifying specific problems that arise and also to enhance knowledge on consumer habits and preferences, etc.
Bioinformatics is a research field that analyses and interprets biological data with algorithms and statistical, hybrid or discrete models, to classify and understand these data, therefore allowing researchers to make new scientific discoveries. Such discovers may, for example, result in the establishment of new, more effective medical treatments.
Precision robotics allows robots to be designed and created that will help doctors – surgeons in particular – to improve accuracy (neurosurgery) and/or to carry out less invasive operations. Robots can also be used for patient physiotherapy by using a robotic health aide to help their rehabilitation. Lastly, robotics will enable prosthetics to be created that are more functional and that work more naturally.
In the field of health, modelling and simulation are predictive tools that help the actors in this domain to understand biological phenomena, come up with experiments, or even remove themselves from real-world experiments to carry them out “in silico”. These tools are also useful for training future doctors.
Healthcare institutions and hospitals in particular need an IT system that allows them, in accordance with predefined rules and operating procedures, to collect, evaluate and process data with ICT and organisational tools, distribute value-added information to internal/external partners, participate in a collaborative project with a specific goal, namely, patient treatment and recovery.
The development of smart devices and the internet of things will allow the behaviour of people and things to be monitored, potentially in real time, and will therefore complement diagnostics with the analysis of information collected by networks and sensors. These tools will be essential for the development of telemedicine and eHealth or mHealth.
One of the major challenges in healthcare is to ensure that the collected data generated by smart devices and IT systems remain confidential and the property of the patient. The development of digital technologies in healthcare cannot reach its full potential without users being confident about the security of their health data.
The cloud is already widely used for software and data management. The growing interconnectivity between production sites and company departments requires the sharing of large data sets, a process that the cloud has made a lot easier.
This technology raises many hopes. Beyond prototyping, additive manufacturing already enables the production of small batches of complex and replacement parts, and even customized products. With fully developed technologies, the speed and precision of the printing will mean increased and large-scale production.
This aims to provide real-time data on repair techniques for parts, by making this information available on augmented reality glasses, for example. These technologies can also be used for training, or to make design stages more realistic so that more people can get involved.

As this may sound as a strange question on first sight. The goal is to only have sql users with data reader & writer rights on the database once the database is setup. Afterwards No accounts should exist anymore that have more rights than Reading & writing to the existing table structure. This behaviour should be irreversible.
The database user corresponding to the Server admin login cannot be altered or dropped.

Antigua-and-barbuda > Antigua and Barbuda: Where the beach is just the beginning.
Antigua (pronounced An-tee’ga) is located in the heart of the Caribbean Sea at 17 degrees 5’ north and longitude 61 degrees 45’. The largest of the Leeward Islands, Antigua is a 108-square mile limestone and coral island recognized for its numerous coves, bays, 365 white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters. To the south are the islands of Montserrat and Guadeloupe, and to the north and west are Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Barts and St. Martin/Maarten. The sister Island of Barbuda (Bar-byew’ da) lies 27 miles northeast of Antigua with a land area of 62 square miles.
The capital of Antigua is St. John’s, with two distinctive waterfront areas and a selection of shops and restaurants. A majority of the 71,068 people (2001 Census) residing on Antigua are of African descent, the remainder being of British, Lebanese, Syrian, Chinese and Portuguese origin.
Barbuda (Bar-byew’ da), which lies 27 miles northeast of its sister island Antigua, has a land area of 62-square miles. A low lying coral island, known for its untouched pink coral and white sand beaches, its highest point is only 125 feet above sea level.
The capital of Barbuda is the village of Codrington. A majority of Barbuda’s 1,500 inhabitants live in Codrington.
Antigua was named by Christopher Columbus in 1493 in homage to Santa Maria de la Antigua, the miracle-working saint of Seville, Spain. In 1632, Antigua was permanently settled as a colony by the British. The arrival of Sir Christopher Codrington began the sugar era for the island with more than 150 cane-processing windmills – each the focal point of a sizeable plantation.
By the end of the eighteenth century, Antigua had become an important strategic port as well as a valuable commercial colony. Known as the “gateway to the Caribbean,” it was situated in a position that offered control over the major sailing routes to and from the region’s rich island colonies. Most of the island’s historical sites, from its many ruined fortifications, to the impeccably-restored architecture of English Harbour, are reminders of colonial efforts to ensure its safety from invasion.
Horatio Nelson arrived in 1784 to develop the British naval facilities at English Harbour and to enforce stringent commercial shipping laws. The first of these two tasks resulted in the construction of Nelson’s Dockyard, one of Antigua’s finest physical assets. Serving under Nelson at the time was the future King William IV, for whom the more pleasant accommodation of Clarence House was built. It was during William’s reign, in 1834, that Britain abolished the slave trade throughout the empire.
As the sugar industry of the British islands began to dissolve, the island turned towards the development of tourism. In 1967, under the leadership of V.C. Bird, with Barbuda and the tiny island of Redonda as dependencies, Antigua became an associated state of the Commonwealth, and in 1981 it achieved full independent status.
For more information about events, promotions and things-to-do in Antigua and Barbuda, go to the Tourist Office Page visit the official website of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
Note: Information provided on this page were derived from a combination of internal research and readily-available outside sources, such as destination tourism offices, official press releases and marketing media kits.
Anthem: "Fair Antigua and Barbuda"
Currency: Although U.S. dollars are widely accepted on the island, the unit of currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$). The exchange rate is approximately US$1 equals EC$2.7. Traveler’s checks and major credit cards are accepted and ATM’s are available around the island.
Time: Antigua is on Atlantic Standard Time year-round. During the fall and winter, noon in New York equals 1 PM on the island. During daylight saving time in the U.S., the hour is the same on the Eastern Seaboard as it is on the island.
Electricity: Most hotels are wired as in the U.S. with 110 volts, 60 cycles; however, some run on 220 volts requiring the use of a converter.
Taxes/Service Charges: An 8.5 percent government tax is added to all hotel rates. Most hotels and restaurants also add a 10 percent service charge in lieu of tipping. An airport departure tax of US$28.00 (EC$70.00) is payable at the airport on departure.
Tipping: Similar to that in the U.S., 10-15% depending on the service. Some restaurants and hotels will automatically add a 10 percent gratuity. If in doubt, just ask. Porters and bellboys should receive 50 cents per bag and taxi drivers expect 10 – 15 percent of the fare.
Communications: Direct dialing to the U.S., Canada and most of the world is available on the island. To call Antigua, direct from the U.S. dial one plus the area code (268), then the seven-digit number. Internet access is also available at some hotels and cafes in St. John’s.
Attire: Informal, but conservative. Beach attire is not appropriate for town, shops or restaurants. Some hotels and restaurants stipulate jacket and tie for men and dresses for women in the evening.
Pet Regulations: An import permit must be obtained from the Chief Veterinary Officer before the importation of all animals. In order to obtain this permit, the intended animal must first be micro-chipped and its blood tested for Rabies Titer at an approved laboratory. The result of such tests must then be forwarded to: The Acting Chief Veterinary Officer at P.O. Box 1282, St. Johns, Antigua.
Medical Facilities: There are several general practitioners and specialists on the island, a hospital and a private clinic. No vaccinations are required unless the visitor is arriving from an endemic area. Recompression chambers are available by air ambulance at nearby Saba and in St. Thomas. Pharmaceutical services are widely available.
All visitors to Antigua and Barbuda must be in possession of an onward or round-trip ticket. Visitors from the United States need a valid passport.

Japanese Black Pine seeds are relatively easy to germinate and grow. The dormancy within the seed is short and easily broken and reasonable success can be expected even when seeds are sown without any form of pre-treatment. The benefit of a short period of pre-treatment is that a greater percentage of seeds will germinate and the germination of the seedlings will be syncronised with most seedlings germinating within a few days of each other.

Lahore – Journalist Zeenat Shahzadi, who went missing in Lahore in August 2015, was found by security forces on Wednesday night, BBC reported on Friday. Before her abduction, the 25-year-old journalist had been working on the disappearance of an Indian citizen, Hamid Ansari, who was reported traceless in Pakistan since November 2012.
The head of the missing persons commission, Justice (r) Javed Iqbal, confirmed that Shahzadi was found near the Pak-Afghanistan border. She had been kidnapped by some “non-state actors and enemy agencies”, Iqbal told BBC.
Shahzadi had played an important role in encouraging a government commission on enforced disappearances to investigate Hamid Ansari’s case, the BBC reported in 2016. She went missing, months after police admitted they had detained Ansari in 2012, and handed him over to intelligence officials. On the day of her disappearance, Shahzadi was blocked on the road by two cars, and abducted by armed men. She was scheduled to appear before the commission to testify in the case of Ansari’s disappearance in the next few days.
Shahzadi’s mother had claimed that the journalist’s brother ended his life after her abduction, BBC had reported. “That child just could not take it anymore,” her mother said of his death.

A group of interfaith leaders, mixed with activists, concerned citizens and lay persons, stood on the desert soil near Tornillo, Texas on Thursday, Nov. 15, to pray, speak and sing on behalf of the young migrant detainees housed in a tent city at that federal detention locale. We came from places throughout the United States — Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian, Christian, Atheist, Agnostic and None-of-the-Aboves. We had come to bear witness.
We were there less than two days and we bore witness to a fraction of the complicated story that is life at the border of Mexico and two states. We saw stark examples of "solutions" that are strong on political point scoring and brutal on humanity. Bridges where families sleep for weeks because that is safer than returning home, and tents where we imprison children who have risked home and family for a chance at life.
I did not return home with some great epiphany, but rather an education on how tangled and layered immigration is along our borders where ideology gives way to the reality of life. And I have no easy answers, only one clear assertion — we can do better than this. And it starts with us holding all our leaders accountable, the ones we favor and the ones we don't. For this crisis is not confined to a single administration, rather it is spread out amongst a series of political agendas — agendas that know very well how to tug and pull at heartstrings and gut reactions. Is that how we choose to be governed?
As you cross the bridge into Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, you can look down and see a phrase spray painted on the side of the drainage ditch that serves as another barrier between cities. It says, "La frontera vive en nosotros." The border lives in us. Until we find ways in our own places, our own cities, our own churches and our own pews, to examine and eradicate our predisposition towards "othering," we will continue this pattern, as old as the Deuteronomic commandments and Syrophonecian women at wells, which claims that some people matter more than others. That might win elections and score points, but it isn't the Gospel.
The Rev. Chris Moore is the Senior Minister of Fellowship Congregational UCC in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was part of an interfaith pilgrimage, bringing advocates from several states to the federal detention center in Tornillo,Texas, in mid-November.

Sales associates are the beating heart of the store. Their personal interaction with customers is what makes physical retail stand out from online shops. Start leveraging these biggest store assets today. Count3r offers the personal assistant to every member of staff and helps to boost in-store sales performance.
Customers enter stores better informed than ever and expect the same from their store host. However, it is impossible for staff to know all information of thousands of products by heart. That is where Count3r comes in.
We tailor familiar online sales tools to the in-store sales experience and help employees find, filter and compare products in seconds. We help the team to focus all attention on the customer again, not on memorizing ever-changing product information.
Severe price competition has put strain on the business models of retailers. Nudging customers towards profitable shopping baskets through upselling, cross-selling, and bundling is vital to ensure business sustainability. That is why we put effort in making the sales of accessories, services, or higher margin products as easy and convenient as possible.
Matching individual staff expertise with the ever-changing needs of stores and customers can be a nightmare. Employees often know a lot about a little, but not always what is needed most. Count3r aims to transform laser-focused specialists into versatile generalists, without the loss of expert product knowledge. We provide the tips, tutorials, and communication tools to help staff roam entire shop floors and sell anything on every department.
Employees are a store’s greatest assets, but only if you empower them with the right information. Count3r combines all information on a tablet and enables sales associates to look up personal sales results, leaderboards and targets, stock information, and high priority products. Our dashboards also facilitate managers, with the right intelligence whenever or wherever needed.
Modern organization have to work with ERP, POS, PIM, ECM and CRM systems as part of an exhaustive corporate software jungle. Although usually intended to benefit employees, more often than not these programs confuse, demoralize and waste time. Count3r builds software with the workforce in mind, and brings the IT jungle together in a single intuitive interface on a tablet. We want staff to do what they like best: spending time with customers.

Eyes that are filled with unanswered questions and promises, a mind full of hope. This is Ally. Deep in thought, gazing out towards the lens and beyond. Gently and comfortably leaning into his everyday, natural poses. Calm. Collected. Gentle and honest.
Photographer Jingyu Lin captures Ally Fallon at D1 Model Management in this intimate and laid back portrait series. She snaps away in the comforts of her temporary London home to help create a relaxed and calm atmosphere. No styling, no team. Nobody to interrupt the natural flow of the photographer and her subject.
Described as a ‘go with the flow’ kind of guy, Ally allows Jingyu to step into his world and capture some beautifully organic and real moments all with utter ease, allowing her to achieve her goal of capturing the raw atmosphere. Today's serving of momochome bliss, brings a familiar veeling of absolute comfort and effortless chilling. We all need this, those daily moments. Moments where everything is simple and responsibilities seem distant, possibly berried beneath the tallest mountains. These are the moments to live for.

In the last post, we learned to use an if test to detect an error that could occur when a user runs our program. A more modern and flexible way of handling errors is to try to execute a statement, and if something goes wrong, jump to a specific set of statements to deal with the error, or at least gracefully exit the program.
If something goes wrong in the execution of the statements in the try block, Python will raise what is known as an exception. When Python raises an exception the execution of our program jumps to the except block, where statements can provide a remedy for the error.
Below is a version of our bmi_calc.py program that uses the try-except construct.
If the user forgets to provide weight and height when running our program, sys.argv raises an exception because is an invalid index. Remember that sys.argv is the name of the program, bmi_calc.py in our case, and that sys.argv[1-n] are all subsequent command-line arguments. When an exception is raised, Python immediately jumps and executes the statements found in the except block. In this case, it prints two lines and exits the program.
sys.exit(1). Remember that sys.exit(1) stops the execution of your program. Any numerical value other than zero will cause sys.exit() to stop your program.
Python executed the statements in the try block and no exceptions were raised, therefore it skips the except block of code and executes the last two lines of our program.
For the user of our program, it does not matter whether we use an if test or a try-except structure. As we will see in the next post, the try-except structure provides more advanced ways of handling errors, which will make our program more clever and informative.

Its medical definition is ‘nausea and vomiting from pregnancy’.
Approximately ¾ of women will experience some form of morning sickness during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Morning sickness will usually begin week 4-6 and end week 14-16.
It is important to remember that every pregnancy is different and not all women will experience the same symptoms and for the same period of time.
This is not true. Morning sickness symptoms are often worse in the morning, hence its name, but can occur at any time of the day or night.
This is not true. Majority of women will experience morning in the first trimester only. However, 1 in 5 women will experience sickness in the 2nd trimester with 1 in 1000 women experiencing sickness throughout their entire pregnancy.
Severe cases of morning sickness is known as hyperemesis gravidarum. Women experiencing this condition get very sick and are hospitalized for periods of time to manage help their well being and well being of their unborn child.
This is not true either. A small number of women are lucky enough not to have any symptoms. The lack of morning sickness can sometimes be an indication of miscarriage, in the first trimester but it is not always the case. Women go on to have healthy full term babies.
If I have morning sickness in my first pregnancy will I have morning sickness during my second pregnancy?
This is not true. It is important to treat every pregnancy as unique.
Women who have extreme cases of morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) with their first pregnancy do not necessarily have the same experience second time around.
This is not true. Mild morning sickness will not affect the nutrients reaching your baby. However in extreme cases when a woman has to be hospitalized due to severe vomiting, dehydration and weight loss, this is a concern. Medical treatment is essential in these cases to ensure the well being of both mother and baby.
Like all forms of illness there are a number of things we can do to help ease the discomfort.
Another thing that can be done to lessen morning sickness is to get more molybdenum (it’s in a few prenatals and in some foods, but usually the ones that don’t appeal much to pregnant women) while avoiding sulfites and nitrites in the diet.

I noticed while reorganizing after the chaos that is the "tear-down" following a show, that one of the polymer bicone beads on this faux lapis lazuli choker was cracked. The tension was too tight on the stringing wire and the sterling spacer bead had worked it's way into the beads end.
Not sure what I was going to do, it was obvious that repairs at the least, were inevitable. Luckily, this neckpiece was constructed in two separately strung parts, so I wasn't going to have to deal with back portion and all the smaller seed beads.
First, I looked through polymer components, but nothing suitable was available. Next, I considered sterling and/or coiled wire beads. It wasn't just a matter of closing up the gap left by the bicones - this piece needed both the interest and the length provided by these elements.
Finally, I sorted through my miscellaneous beads. I found two black onyx parts from a pair of interchangeable "door knocker" earrings (remember those?) But, given their size, they didn't look right in the same space as the bicones - too big. I moved the smaller ingots outward, provided a slide for the onyx with a couple of sterling crimp tubes and hung them with large jumprings. They don't lie completely flat, but hang at a bit of an angle.
I like it! This choker looks updated and a bit more interesting, don't you think?

The Little Theater Group of Costa Rica once again brings a Broadway hit to the stage at the Laurence Olivier Theatre. Opening on April 26 and running for two weekends, “God of Carnage,” written by Yasmina Reza and the winner of the Tony award for Best Play in 2009, will come to life in the hands of some of the LTG’s best known actors.
Director Noel Montagano and an incredible cast, Susan Liang, Tom Humes, Lisa DeFuso and Chicago import Jim Kissane are sure to bring a high level of professionalism to this comedy and fill the evening with laughs.
The play takes place in a modern-day Brooklyn loft apartment, where an 11-year-old has whacked another kid in the mouth. Both sets of parents meet to alternatively apologize, assess blame, work out consequences and throw their neuroses in each other’s faces.
The son of Alan, a big shot lawyer for pharmaceutical companies, and Annette, a wealth manager, hit the other child with a large stick, which broke two incisors and exposed a nerve. The son of Veronica, a cultural anthropologist of sorts, author and art fanatic, and Michael, a self-made seller of domestic items, would not let the other boy play in his “gang,” which initiated the quarrel.
The two sets of parents attempt to civilly and amicably discuss the ramifications and punishments associated with the incident. The hell that breaks out is amusing partly because the two teams not only go at each other, but at times they also switch sides. It can be partner against partner, or boys against girls, without an ounce of introspection or admission of responsibility on either side.
The LTG production of God of Carnage will run about 90 minutes, and the show will be staged from April 26-May 5, with 7:30 p.m. performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. matinees on Sundays. The Laurence Olivier Theatre is on Av. 2, Ca. 28. For reservations: 8858-1446 or visit www.littletheatregroup.org.

Too Much Sugar Ray is a big puddle of love. He adores being picked up and held and will purr in your arms hugging you. He loves to sit on your lap and be petted, purring really, really loud. He is the most affectionate cat we have ever met.
Ray was doing great until his previous owner found out that he is diabetic and needs insulin shots. The needles are super small and Ray is the best patient ever. But his owner didn’t want to give shots, so he told the vet to euthanize sweet Ray instead! Can you imagine your family wanting to “off” you just because you became diabetic? Neither could we — so we took Ray in to foster care.
Ray gets along wonderfully with other cats and kittens and just wants a place he can live out the rest of his years with love and care. He is missing most of his teeth, not that that matters. His insulin runs about $25 a month. Ray has tested positive for FIV. Cats with FIV+ often gets passed over because people feel worried about the diagnosis. However, given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat and it requires direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissible to humans.

The Busymen were formed in 1997 by 60's music fans Robert "Boston Bob" Smith (organ, percussion and vocals), "Scratchy" Dave Crawford (guitar and backing vocals), and Richard Buchanan (bass and backing vocals). They enlisted Ben Jones on drums, and played their first gig at the Melbourne Hotel. I first saw them at their second gig at the Orient Hotel, where they were supporting The Genies and The Onyas.
The band has had several lineup changes over the years, but the most stable lineup was with Robert Worrall on guitar, Richard on bass, and Danielle Mutton on drums. They were the last band to record at the legendary Red Zeds studios, their first single being "Hostile" b/w "Evil Hearted Evie" on Wild Eagle Records in late 2002. A few months later they recorded their second single "Peach Orchard Road", a swamp blues number written by Worrall and his then-wife Ruth Berry and featuring Screamin' Stevie from The Hekawis on harmonica.
Robert Smith's mounting health problems put the band on hold for a while, but in 2005 they ended up touring Sydney, Melbourne, Woolongong and Adelaide.
In 2007, they released their first album "Distort All Levels" on Turkeyneck Records. The album's music was mostly written by Worrall and contained one cover "I Want My Woman" by The Emporers. The backing band dissipated in early 2010, and that year I enlisted Michael Bolger as the new guitarist (previously from Perth bands As Is, and The Hoovers), and bassist Jack Mulroney who had also been in The Purple Avengers and The Racketeers along with drummer Russell Smith who replaced Mutton in the lineup.
In late 2014, The Busymen completed recording their second album produced by Sean "Dr. Rock" Tracey from The Dangermen and due to be released in July on his label Swashbuckling Hobo Records.

This is one of those days. Just too weak to sit up and my brain’s too foggy to concentrate. So tonight’s posting is going to be short and (hopefully) sweet. I promised my son that wouldn’t give in when I feel like this and that I’d make myself do something everyday to keep myself positive and useful. Hope you guys enjoy tonight’s icons.

Today, technology touches nearly every aspect of our lives. Even the definition of “computer” has blurred to the point that it hardly resembles those big, heavy bricks we worked on and supported “way back when.” We still have desktop and laptop PCs, but we also have tablets, smartphones, thin clients, and countless wired and wirelessly connected devices running many different flavors of operating systems. Add to that the rich complexity of enterprise networking, with virtual desktops, mobility, cloud-based services, and the consumerization of technology, and it all adds up to an extraordinarily complicated world. Despite the changes and challenges, users still expect the same—or better—levels of support from their IT departments.
Unfortunately, support systems have not always kept up with the growth of technology. Many IT shops still struggle with the same shoulder-tap model that was used in simpler times. Even if they’ve managed to move beyond that, it’s often only by using a number of unrelated or dissimilar tools.
The lack of an integrated set of tools results in a disorganized workflow. Even if there is an incident management tool, it may require considerable manual effort, with the incident ticket being passed back and forth between support teams. The customer contact process could still be manual as well; if remote tools are being used, they’re likely to be a separate set of tools entirely. Documentation is lacking because the support team is constantly distracted by requests from clients to fix routine problems. These are typically issues that could be fixed by end users if they only had access to self-service tools that allowed them to resolve their own issues.
A lack of integrated tools can also affect how quickly larger problems are identified. Many times, tools used to monitor the environment are separate from the tools used for support, and, in fact, are often owned by completely different teams. Problems could be proactively identified if only those monitoring systems were integrated directly with the service management tools. Rather than the support team only having visibility into single incidents, they would have a broader view of support issues. It would enable them to do root cause analysis in advance, rather than damage control after the fact.
What this clearly shows is that, by and large, support tools and processes have simply not kept up with the growth of technology as a whole. Why can’t all of these systems be integrated?
Let’s examine four innovative ways integrated processes could work if the appropriate tools were readily available.
It takes time to move a ticket through the chain of custody. The service desk owns it first; they pass it along to the next level of support, and then it often has to go back to the service desk for final closure. Why not streamline this workflow and include the second-level support team from the beginning? Instead of the service desk acting as a dispatcher, the service desk guides the incoming call directly to the support team that can fix the problem.
to take over a desktop, configure or repair software, troubleshoot the operating system, and even reboot the client device while maintaining the network connection. Really, the only time a physical visit might be necessary is if the client machine can’t connect to the network or hardware needs to be repaired/replaced.
Since the support session originates with the incident tool, it becomes much easier to document what it takes to resolve an issue. This information can, in turn, be used to populate a knowledge management tool so that similar issues can either be quickly resolved or even converted to a self-service function. The opposite can also be true. If an organization allows clients to request assistance via, for instance, a chat client, once a problem has been identified, a support ticket can be created directly from the remote support session. This saves time and reduces the volume of calls coming into the service desk.
The support system should also be closely integrated with monitoring tools. Rather than waiting for recurring incidents be become a management issue, have the monitoring tools proactively identify trends and issue warnings to IT support. Armed with this information, the support team can begin working on fixing potential problems before they get out of hand.
Finally, any support tool needs to be adaptable. Technology changes quickly, and support professionals need to be able to keep up. Can it support mobility? Virtual environments? Clients expect their support teams to adapt, so the tools we use must be flexible enough to accommodate a changing technology landscape.
The flexibility of the tool is very important because the overall framework of how clients are supported depends upon the industry, the maturity of the IT organization, and the needs of the business. One common IT framework is ITIL, which sets standards for incident, problem, release, and change management. Even if an organization hasn’t formally adopted the ITIL strategy, they likely follow a similar framework just to keep the environment orderly; there’s no such thing as the perfect system, so everyone has developed processes that define how the support team responds when things go awry.
Whichever tool you select for support, you should be able to adapt it to your internal support framework. When changes or new software releases occur, the details—approvals, ownership, and the specifics of the change—should seamlessly pass into the support system so the team is aware and can be on the lookout for potential incidents that result. If there’s a marked increase in incidents, those issues can be tied to a problem ticket, which, in turn, should be escalated back to the owner of the change. Since this all should be happening inside one system, no time is wasted moving from one tool to the next or trying to determine the root cause of a problem.
We hear a lot about cloud computing nowadays, and our support tools should take advantage of this new technology. By putting services in the cloud, analysts will no longer need to hurry back to their desks to update incidents; it can be done right from a user’s desk, if necessary. It also opens up the support team to a virtual world where it doesn’t matter where they sit. Having the availability in the cloud enables the team to get an incident to the right person, no matter where they happen to be located at the time.
Last but not least, any modern support tool needs to enable the business by making simple or routine jobs a self-service task. By tying your monitoring tools into your incident system, you can quickly determine the most common types of incidents. Using that information, build self-service around the resolution of the issue. This makes your clients happy because they get a faster turnaround, and it makes your IT support team happy because they now have time to focus upon bigger, more critical issues.
Moving from an IT support “toolbox” to a streamlined, integrated set of tools just makes good business sense. Streamlined workflows result in better, faster resolution times and provide better visibility into the overall IT framework. Support teams are able to focus on the bigger issues rather than the routine—all the while enabling the business and making your customers happy!

Elmer Simms Campbell (January 2, 1906 – January 27, 1971) was the first African-American cartoonist published nationally. He workd for Esquire Magazine and was the creator of "Esky", the famous pop-eyed mascot that represented the magazine. He was a native of St. Louis, Missouri and the son of teachers. He was the cartoonist for his high school's weekly newspaper. He was a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute.
During a job as a railroad dining-car waiter, Campbell sometimes drew caricatures of the train riders, and one of those train passengers, impressed by Campbell's talent, gave him a job in a St. Louis art studio.He spent two years at Triad Studios before moving to New York City in 1929. After a month, he found work with the small advertising firm Munig Studios, and began taking classes at the Academy of Design. He contributed to various humor magazines, notably Life, Judge and College Humor.
Following the suggestion of cartoonist Russell Patterson to focus on good girl art, Campbell created his "Harem Girls," a series of watercolor cartoons which attracted attention in the first issue of Esquire. Campbell's artwork was in almost every issue of Esquire from 1933 to 1958.

Industrial Floor Coatings Market size is estimated to exceed USD 7 billion by 2024. Favorable macroeconomic conditions coupled with rising industrialization in emerging nations will drive the industry share. According to the Asia Development Bank, Asian countries are expected to invest USD 9 trillion for infrastructure development between 2010 and 2020 to augment industrialization and urbanization. This will create a surge in the number of manufacturing facilities, thereby fueling industrial floor coatings demand.
Industrial floor coatings are widely used in food & beverage processing facilities to maintain quality, purity & hygiene. Rising urbanization has influenced consumption patterns, increased disposable income will make processed foods affordable for a larger share of the populace. This will foster growth in the food processing industry and create substantial opportunities for the product.
Industrial floor coatings market is expected to witness strong application potential in the food and beverage processing industry. While working in the food processing industry, it is quite important to keep all the areas clean – especially the floor. Certain food constituents such as blood, sugar, acids, oils, fats, etc. often fall onto the floors, which are highly susceptible to infections and contaminations.
In response to this fact, it is highly important to maintain the sanitary standards of the floors, which has provided a major thrust to the demand of industrial floor coatings market from this application. As per estimates, in 2017, industrial floor coatings market size from food processing was valued at USD 1.5 billion and is further expected to grow at an appreciable pace over 2018-2024.
Many of the food processing industries rely on the epoxy type of coatings, which are highly durable and withstand strong chemical resistance & thermal shocks. Contributing to over 50% of the overall industrial floor coatings market, epoxy is estimated to be register a y-o-y growth of 6% over 2018-2024.
Many industries and manufacturing plants witness repeated spills or a high likelihood of oils, grease, or liquids on the floor. In addition to this, floors of warehouses and manufacturing units also need to withstand wear and tear, created by heavy machinery, high impacts, and excessive heat. Subject to this fact, industrial floor coatings market is gaining huge demand from this application, on account of thriving profoundly on the cusp of rapid industrialization and urbanization.
The prominent economies of Asia Pacific including China, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and Japan promise great potential for the growth of industrial floor coatings industry, owing to rapid infrastructural development. As per estimates, APAC industrial floor coatings market is expected to record a CAGR of 8% over 2018-2024.
The concrete flooring material is witnessing noticeable demand from the manufacturing and warehouses applications. Owing to its superior properties of wear & tear, prevention from abrasion, scratch resistance, and ease of maintenance with excellent aesthetics, industrial floor coatings marker share from concrete materials stood at USD 3 billion in 2017 and is likely to grow at CAGR of 7.5% over 2018-2024.
The key industrial floor coatings market players are joining forces with biotechnology firms to synergize their domains and address the demand for bio-based products. For instance, in 2016, Arkema a leading company in specialty chemicals, has partnered with several industrial coatings companies to develop bio-based materials to meet the latest industry demand and shifting consumer trends. Following this collaboration, in 2017, Bostik, a subsidiary of Arkema acquired CMP specialty products, a flooring and floor preparation unit of U.S. based specialist CGM. The acquisition gave Bostik a fair chance to further exploit the U.S. construction market and provide better and innovative flooring solutions to its customers.
In light of this dynamic scenario, industrial floor coatings market size is certainly liable to surge over the coming years with a projected CAGR of 7.2% over 2018-2024. Some of the other renowned names in industrial floor coatings industry include Dow Chemical, Sherwin-Williams, Akzo Nobel, BASF, Asian Paints, PPG Industries, Tambour, 3M, Kansai Paint Co., Ltd, and Milliken & Company.

Car type/year/Registration number: Mk 1 AH Sprite, USY 875, owned since 2000.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Peter May Engineering fast road head, 276 cam, single one and three quarter inch SU with K&N filter, C/R 11.0 to 1, LCB and RC40 rear box, five and a half inch steel rims, Rivergate/Datsun five speed gearbox.
Owner’s expected power output: 90bhp.
Actual power output: 91bhp at flywheel (63bhp at wheels) @ 5053rpm; 108lb/ft torque.
Owner’s comments: Pretty much what I expected, surprised it didn’t go bang!
R/R operative’s comments: Quite good power, ignition timing spot on at 27degrees max ignition advance, a bit lean on light throttle, OK on load, rev counter all over the place and requires resistor spark plugs and/or new leads or coil as high firing voltages. It is running electronic ignition.
Owner's name: Roly Alcock, who lives in Worcester and is a retired computer network engineer, originally started work in the 1960’s as an apprentice with a Standard Triumph garage in Gloucester.
Car type/year/registration number: MGB roadster, ENJ 616K, bought on e-bay 6 months ago. The car has only done 1000 miles in last 10 years.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Standard apart from Petronix electronic ignition, nice alloy rocker cover, Moto-Lita steering wheel and very large Klaxon horn filling the space between the radiator and grill!
Owner’s expected power output: Standard figure is 90bhp would be surprised if it is more than 75bhp.
Actual power output: 86bhp (58bhp at wheels) @ 4145rpm.
Owner’s comments: Pleasantly surprised and pleased.
R/R operative’s comments: Mixture mega rich on idle but strangely idles well despite this, it does needs further investigation, max ignition advance 24 degrees, power figure is OK being close to standard, rev counter spot on.
Writer’s comment: This is the third car that the genial Roly has brought a car along to the shoot out, previously he came with a Triumph TR4, in which the fuelling was ultra lean, under 2% co, and also the throttle jammed open on full load on the rollers! Last year he came with his Singer Le Mans replica, complete with A series engine. (This was not reported in SF due to lack of space). I wonder what he'll bring along next year?
Owner's name: John Wragg, lives quite close in Kinver and works part time as an accountant for two different firms of solicitors.
Car/type/year/Registration number: MG Midget, JUB 287L, which he has owned for 6 years.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs etc): K & N air filters, electronic ignition, five speed gearbox, Frontline front suspension, wire wheels, works style hard top.
Owner’s comments: Pleased it has some extra horses and that the tickover is now lower, hope it now uses less fuel!
R/R operative’s comments: Ignition was 34 degrees max advance, weakened mixture three flats and gained 4 bhp from initial run, ignition traces good, carbs giving slightly shy of full throttle.
Writer’s comments: It was good to see John again, a 4 bhp improvement from last year with some extra tuning and electronic ignition is very worth while.
Owner's name: Dave Price, lives in Devon and is a Design Technology and IT teacher at an independent school. Dave was previously in the RAF as an aircraft engineer.
Car type/year/Registration number: MG Midget, HGF 272K, which Dave has owned for 3 years, he bought it from a RAF pilot at the nearby Chivenor air base.
Owner’s expected power output: Absolutely no idea, only know on GPS that it does 64mph at 4,000 rpm!
Actual power output: 59bhp (38 bhp at wheels) @ 3931 rpm.
Owner’s comments: Glad he didn’t break it! I have seen quite a few R/R disaster videos on You-tube and was concerned.
R/R operative’s comments: Tick over high and uneven initially, jet heights vastly out, choke stops were interfering with the idle, now adjusted. Dizzy needs work on advance curve, 10 degrees at tickover and only giving a max of 20 degrees full advance.
Owner's name: Mark Turner lives in Banbury and is an engineer with Continental Automotive. He used to race a very competitive Class B Mk 1 Sprite in the MGCC Midget Championship. This car has now been sold.
Car type/year: Eldon Mk 23 Sports 2000 racing car, 1979. This car has had three owners in last 5 to 6 years. Mark bought it in December 2010, having always wanted to race a sports racing car.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Standard apart from dry sump, and K & N filter in accordance with series regulations.
Owner’s expected power output: If it makes 100bhp I will be surprised, in some ways I hope it gives as little as possible as I need a reason why I've not been very competitive this year. I plan to build a fresh blue printed engine over the winter, preparing the bottom end myself while David Gathercole tackles the cylinder head.
Actual power output: 116bhp (93bhp at wheels) @ 4587 rpm, 140lb/ft torque.
Owner’s comments: Wasn’t expecting that.
R/R operative’s comments: Doesn’t rev, I think a good Sports 2000 engine gives something in the region of 125 to 130 bhp.
Writer’s comment: Mark was extremely competitive in his Mk 1 Sprite so its only a matter of time until he does the same in this series. This season he has spent getting the car to handle, trying vastly different spring rates on the front, and with the new engine installed next year he should be much quicker. Mark and his dad Ian, have been to the last three Midget Register R/R shoot outs, bringing an interesting collection of cars, two in 2009, one in 2010 and the two this year that we haven't seen before. (See later for the newly acquired MG Midget owned by Jen Turner, Mark’s wife).
Owner's name: Gil Duffy who lives in Malvern and used to be a Business Development manager at Halfords in Redditch. Gil has raced Midgets in all three classes of the MGCC Championship series for many years.
Car/type: Ex Charles Marriott MkI AH Sprite, which ran in the AHC series, but now altered to compete in the CSCC Swinging Sixties series where it is very competitve.
Modifications: (cam, head, carbs etc): Engine originally built by Peter May, but since rebuilt by someone else possibly Skiptune. C/R unknown, possibly 296 cam, single 45 DCOE carb, Aldon ignitor ignition, 4.2 diff with Quaife LSD, 6 inch Minilights and Yokohama AO48R 1b road tyres. Panhard rod, rose jointed anti-tramp bars, fibreglass front and back, with Peter May Metro callipers, and 9 inch discs. Full roll cage etc.
Owner’s expected power output: 120bhp optimistically, but it is going to Peter May for a rebuild very shortly.
Actual power output: 127bhp (102bhp at the wheels) @ 6843 rpm.
Owner’s comments: Pleased with that, but surprised it is quite as good as 127. Another 5bhp from the rebuild would be great.
Writer’s comments: Gil has recently been driving in the Classic Sports Car Club series with this Mark 1 Sprite along with his daughter, Pippa. He has also driven a Historic Formula Junior car and his Class A Midget - a busy season. Gil and Pippa have had some encouraging results in their first year in the two driver 40 min racing CSCC series, with several top three places and a class win at Spa Francorchamps. Power was down at higher revs in the recent Birkett 6 hour relay race at Silverstone, so Gil wanted to check that new valve springs had sorted the problem.
Owner's name: Tim Dalton, lives in Bewdley and is a computer technician.
Engine type/capacity: K sreies, 1800cc, fitted by Tim five years ago.
Modifications; (cam, head, carbs, etc): Emerald ECU, 278/265 cams, 10.75 to 1 C/R Vulcan modified VVC head. This years modifications include DTH individual throttle bodies, and also slight adjustments to the cam timing by Tim. This car has 10 inch Wilwood discs, 14 inch road wheels, Frontline exhaust, wood rim steering wheel, rear roll over bar and a very nicely sculptured power bulge in the bonnet to house all the K series ancillaries.
Actual power output: 194bhp (150bhp at the wheels) @ 6858rpm; 156lb/ft torque.
Owner’s comments: Tim’s two expletives have been censored for this magazine, but after this he said “pleased with that, quite a magic number, there will be some extra large pints at the pub to-night. Anthony Cutler (Midget Register K series guru), will be particularly interested in the figures”.
R/R operative’s comments: Pretty close to the perfect set up, responded well to 2% increase in fuelling and 2% ignition advance over 5,000rpm.
Owner's name: Ken Harris, who lives in Newham on Severn, is a locksmith who multi tasks driving a 26 tonne HGV vehicles carrying chilled/frozen food to supermarkets in the UK.
Car type/year/registration number: MGB GT, VLX 111M, belonging to Ken’s father, Brian, who was a BRM F1 team mechanic in the 1960’s. He has owned the car for five years as a second vehicle.
Engine type/capacity: B series, 2000cc, bought as reconditioned unit from the MGOC.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Specification unknown as the car came with the engine fitted, visible modifications include a Ford five speed gearbox, K&N air filters, tubular exhaust manifold, and a Mota-Lita woodrim steering wheel.
Owner’s expected power output: 70bhp at the wheels.
Actual power output: 97bhp (71bhp at the wheels) @ 4266rpm; 140lb/fit torque.
Owner’s comments: About what I expected.
R/R operative’s comments: 28degrees max advance, some hesitation on acceleration and the mixture is lean on part throttle, also the idle is on the rich side, but OK on full load. Needles fitted were found to be AAU. Suggest having full set up or try AAA needles which are a bit richer in the mid range.
Writer’s comments: Ken, like the Turner family, has been brilliant in supporting the Aldon R/R shoot out, and is the only person to have not missed a year. Previously he has brought his Isle of Wight 1275cc MK 1 Sprite twice, and also his MGB GT. Ken’s prediction of power at the wheels was uncannily accurate.
Owner's name: Jen Turner, lives in Banbury and works for Land Rover at nearby Gaydon as a design engineer on the braking system for the Evoque, the new smaller Range Rover. Jen is originally from N. Ireland and is married to Mark.
Car/type/year/registration number: AH Sprite MkIV, KMT 500K, purchased in June this year as a part finished project, advertised in Safety Fast.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs etc): Cam believed to be 266 profile, Mini Spares stage 3 head, Mini Spares Mega pistons, Maniflow LCB, single 45 DCOE carb on long inlet manifold, 10.5 to1 C/R, Ford type 9 five speed gearbox, 5 inch Minilight wheels and RC40 rear silencer.
Owner’s expected power output: No idea!
Actual power output: 88bhp (62bhp at the wheels) @ 5295rpm, 100lb/ft torque.
Owner’s comments: Will do better.
R/R operative’s comments: Fuel was leaking in the DCOE, probably a faulty seat on a pump jet valve which needs sorting. Tickover was very rough with a misfire, which changing the ignition leads/caps did not fully rectify. Compressions checked out all at about 160psi, ignition 27 degrees max advance, power about right for a 266. Didn’t run it for long on load as the engine had only done a very few miles since being assembled. Still sounds a bit like a VW Beetle on tickover!
Writer’s comments: The power figure for Mark’s Sebring Sprite last year with a 266 cam was 85bhp so Jen’s engine is certainly in the right league at 88 bhp considering it had done so few miles running. Jen is the only lady so far to be brave enough to bring a car to this previously male dominated event, and I am very pleased that she came along. I know there are many more lady owners of MG’s, so I hope others will be encouraged by this and follow Jen’s lead next time. You will be made very welcome!
Car type/year/registration number: MG Midget, DVK 963K, 1972, which Robert has owned for 23 years. It has a distinctive Williams and Pritchard fibreglass front, similar to those made by Ashley.
Engine type/capacity: A series 1275cc, turbocharged.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Metro turbo charger with intercooler, can vary boost between 5psi and 17psi, MGB brake servo, Toyota five speed gearbox, knock on five and a half inch Minilight wheels with 185/13 tyres, 15” wood rim steering wheel.
Owner’s expected power output: 95 to 100bhp at 5 psi, 130 bhp at 17psi.
Owner’s comments: Pretty happy with that at 13psi, may come back again with the 17psi boost. Previously it had been on some rollers in London, but I feel that these were over optimistic unlike the Aldon rollers, which seem very realistic.
R/R operative’s comments: Pretty rich, turbo engines are traditionally a bit fragile so we did not run it for very long, consequently it was not easy to fully asses the set up.
Writer’s comment’s: A very neat home engineered turbo installation with all the associated pipework for the intercooler etc. This was the second car that Robert has brought to the shoot out, back in 2008 he came along with a smart light blue MGA, with modified cam and 45 DCOE, which he uses occasionally in classic rallies. Robert is an ex committee member of the Midget Register.
Owner's name: Ian Webb, lives in Brixworth, Northants, and works as a logistics manager for Mercedes Benz HPE (High performance engines) which designs and runs the F1 engines for Mercedes Benz, Mclaren and the Force India teams. Ian uses this car in Auto Solo's which is Auto test driving in a forward direction only.
Car type/year/registration number: MG Midget, OHY 344M, 1973, which he has owned since 1986 and rebuilt in 1987/8. The car looked completely standard and original.
Modifications (cam, head, carbs, etc): Ian stressed that the engine is completely standard (see later), i.e. completely original pistons, standard cam 230/252, C/R etc, but all components are balanced and friction reduced, engine has Newtronic electronic ignition, LCB, flowed carbs (carb butterflies and piston mods as per Vizard book …), K&N filters, Toyota five speed gearbox, 4.2 Quaife LSD, panhard rod, anti tramp bars, vented discs with Metro callipers. Tidy and concealed hydraulic handbrake conversion, for auto solo handbrake turns, Minilight wheels, roll over bar, small cherry bomb inline silencer plus an RC 40 across the back of the car.
Owner’s comments: Pleased with that, more than I expected!
Writer’s comment: For a truly standard specification engine the output of 77bhp, some 20% above the standard figure, is a truly remarkable achievement. Ian was initially playing down the engine capabilities emphasising the very standard nature, however he was rather sand bagging as it shows that from his engineering background at Ilmor and now Mercedes Benz, he has built a superb blue printed engine. Perhaps Ian may think about doing some” hands on” work at Mercedes Benz HPE rather than logistics? I should imagine this car is very effective in auto solo's, while looking so tidy and original.
Dennis Wharf thought that this car sounded about the best of the day. It looked great with the colour co-ordinated Teal blue Mini-light wheels. Ian said he was originally inspired by the Hall brother’s from Scotland, who's two immaculate Teal blue auto test Midgets would regularly come down and take part in the Californian Cup at MG Silverstone during the 70’s and early 80’s. I wonder what happened to them and their cars?

Beirut, Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil said in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in Beirut on Monday that his country will not take part in the ongoing Warsaw Conference.
Bassil said that the decision about not participating in the Conference is taken in accordance with Lebanon's national interests.
The Conference, slated for February 13-14, will be hosted by Poland and sponsored by the United States.
The US actually aims to turn the so-called conference on Peace and Security in the Middle East into an event against Iran's presence in the region.
The Iranian foreign minister, for his part, appreciated Beirut's firm stance on Warsaw Conference.
Zarif arrived in Beirut for a two-day visit on Sunday.

Take it on the chin?
Are British businesses firing employees unfairly as a result of possible data breach negligence? Ian Osborne, Vice President UK & Ireland at Shred-it, tackles this thorny issue.
We all know that humans are invariably the weakest security link, and data breach after data breach reminds us of this fact. It may be an inevitable reality, but it is often a frustrating one for those responsible for networks. After all of the hard work and dedication that comes as part and parcel of maintaining the security and integrity of a network, it's understandable that networking professionals and business leaders alike take simple data security mistakes pretty badly.
Research from Shred-it and Ipsos conducted early in 2018 found that nearly a third of businesses that suffered a data breach, have terminated a negligent employee's contract as a result. Is that a fair response?
Clearly, a sense of accountability is required, and the seriousness of maintaining best practice needs to be underlined now more than ever given GDPR. Many will feel that the only way to do that effectively with employees is by making a strong example of those that are negligent.
It is easy to think this way. After all, many of the most common attack vectors that bring down networks and lead to data breaches could seemingly be prevented by common sense. Think twice before clicking on an email link to ensure the source is trusted, don't use public Wi-Fi to access confidential information or work systems, etc. The trouble is, its common sense not to leave the fridge door open or leave the car lights on, only to return to spoiled food or a car that won't start, yet many of us have done these or similar things. We are busy, we are human and we make mistakes. If we want to prevent routine mistakes in data security, businesses must train people to be ever vigilant and make best practice a habit - something they currently do not do.
In our research, just over half of large British businesses have trained their employees on using public Wi-Fi, but only 70 per cent provided training on identifying fraudulent emails: the latter was the highest response concerning critical security training. Overall, just 46 percent of small businesses offer any of the key employee training that is necessary at all, with only a quarter having provided training on the use of public Wi-Fi and a third having offered training on identifying fraudulent emails. In addition, two-thirds of large British businesses and a quarter of small business owners have offered their employees specific GDPR related training.
As an employee sacked for clicking on a spear phishing attack based on an apparently authentic email from their boss, for example, would you have a right to feel aggrieved if you had never received any training on how to identify fraudulent emails? Opinion will be split, no doubt. That is why it is important that we have a debate and that representatives from IT, HR, and the C-suite consider the question.
It is my personal view that enhanced training has the benefit of building better trust with employees. Team members will feel supported and also understand their responsibilities in terms of safeguarding and information security. It will also reduce the likelihood that network security can be undone in the simplest of ways. Fundamentally, demonstrating that these training steps have been universally implemented will help to make a better response to the ICO in the event of a data breach; simply saying that you have sacked a low-ranking employee may not impress.
It's time for you to decide. Should simple data security mistakes that lead to a data breach always lead to the dismissal of an employee, or should organisations accept that this issue isn't going away, and take responsibility to better train staff?

In the summer of 1966, Norman Leigh took a team to the Casino Municipale in Nice with the express intention of systematically winning large sums of money at roulette. Two weeks later, his team was banned from every casino in France-not because they had cheated or behaved badly, but simply because they had won-methodically and consistently. Thirteen Against the Bank is a wry and detailed account of a true event that all expert opinion deemed impossible: beating the bank at roulette. It reveals how Leigh assembled and bankrolled his crew of thirteen, instilling in them the discipline and stamina to bring off this coup and then apply it using a system known as the Reverse Labouchere betting progression. An all-time casino gambling classic.

BIG, DIRTY & CHEESY- America's biggest burger chain has officially landed in Brisbane.
Carl's Jr and their chargrilled thick burgers will now call the Brisbane airport domestic terminal home- and no, you don't need to book a flight to enjoy their delicious meat stacks.
The Brisbane store is the second Australian location for the takeaway giant with the first opening it's doors in February in Bateau Bay. At the Central Coast opening lines wrapped around the block and we are expecting similar maddening scenes as Brisbanites desperately try to get their hands on the American burger goodness.
Carl Jr's whose slogan is, "Eat Like You Mean It", menu features 100% Angus beef burgers (available in 1/3 lb or 1/2 lb)...grilled and fried chicken burgers...natural, criscut, and chili cheese fries...crispy chicken strips...onion rings...shakes...and ice cream cookie sandwiches for dessert. Breakfast is also available.
Carls Jr is a cheap and quick burger fix that fulfills a space currently left vacant in the fast food market in Australia. The burger is huge, much larger than it's competitors, with the 1/2 pound thick burger even trumping the whopper in size. It is extremely good value for money, the average combo meal will run you about $10.90. Also, unlike it's competitors Carl's Jr offers bottomless drinks from it's soda fountains. The fountains can be accessed by customers and you are welcome to drink to your heart's content. So save yourself some $ and grab a small cup! TIP: Try the chicken strips with honey mustard dipping sauce- you won't be disappointed.
If airport dining isn't your thing don't fret- Carl's Jr has plans to open 300 stories across the country over the next 10 years, with a good chunk of them being based in Queensland.

Andy Robertson is out of Thursday’s Euro 2020 clash with Kazakhstan but will join up with the Scotland squad on Friday following discussions with SFA medical staff.
The Scotland skipper had held out hope he might join Alex McLeish and his players in Astana, where they take on Kazakhstan in the opening group game.
The Liverpool left-back was left behind in Glasgow on Sunday evening for treatment on a mouth abscess. Robertson had played that afternoon in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Fulham.
As late as yesterday he was determined to find a way to get to Astana in time to contribute on the pitch. However, after further talks yesterday, it has been decided he should meet up with his teammates on Friday for the second assignment in the international double header against San Marino.
Celtic’s Kieran Tierney is almost certain to play at left-back instead providing there is no reaction to him training on an artificial pitch earlier today. The Celtic player has only returned to the first-team recently after being forced to rest a pelvic problem. Barry Bannan, Charlie Mulgrew and Jordan Archer have already pulled out of both games.
Like Robertson, Cardiff City Callum Paterson and Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth will join up with the squad prior to the San Marino fixture after an agreement was reached with their clubs not to play them on the Astana Arena’s artificial surface.

On September 11, Google reports to consent to a power buy arrangements (PPAs) to purchase power from three new breeze cultivates in Finland with a joined limit of 190 MW. The arrangement has been marked to purchase sustainable power source from three new breeze cultivates that are being worked in Finland and which self control one of its server farms.
The arrangements have been concurred with sustainable power source designers CPC, Neoen, and WPD and are for activities that won't profit by government sponsorships. Numerous organizations have hurried for shabby sustainable power source to cut expenses and lessen their carbon impression through purported corporate power buy assentions which empowers firms like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft to purchase from the vitality generator.
Google said this is the first occasion when it buys endowment free sustainable power source in Europe, which demonstrates that renewables have cost aggressive with matrix control in an expanding number of areas.
In Europe, this is the fourteenth PPA's that Google has entered for just about 900 MW of wind and sun powered limit. The three new breeze cultivates in Finland will be added to the framework that nourishes capacity to Google's server farm in Hamina.
A year ago the innovation organization had achieved its 100% sustainable power source acquiring objective and now it reports to scale up as it needs to purchase extra sustainable power source to keep up this level.
Wind has turned out to be disputable with customary power in numerous nations. A year ago, the quantity of new corporate PPAs, correctly wind and sun powered, secured another record with more than 5 gigawatts.

Open Garden, one of the finalists at TechCrunch Disrupt New York last year, just launched the newest version of its Android, Mac and Windows app that makes sharing your mobile Internet connections even easier. In many ways, this 2.0 release, which the company presented at the Launch conference this morning, fulfills the promises Open Garden made when it first launched.
The new version, for example, now automatically creates a mesh network between all the Open Garden-enabled devices within reach and automatically picks the fastest connection to route traffic. If one phone is connected to Wi-Fi, for example, other phones can then use this connection to offload their 3G and 4G bandwidth through this one phone or laptop (or even multiple devices to increase the bandwidth available to all devices on the network).
Since its launch last year, the Open Garden app has now been installed over 2.1 million times, the company’s CEO and co-founder Micha Benoliel told me last week from the company’s offices on Treasure Island. Until now, Benoliel said, the app was mostly being used for sharing mobile data. The new version changes this in his view. Now, the app really allows you to crowdsource connectivity.
The new version can also create a multi-hop network, meaning there could be multiple phones or laptops in between you and the final Internet on-ramp on the mesh network. In previous versions, users had to connect directly to the device that provided the actual Internet connection. Using its so-called “gossip” feature, all the devices in the mesh are now aware of the other phones, laptops and desktops with Open Garden around them, which makes for a smarter network and also ensures that the mesh is very reliable and can route traffic faster.
The company is already talking to a number of carriers, though Benoliel wasn’t ready to disclose any details about these discussions yet. Not all of the carriers, of course, like the idea of Open Garden, given that it allows you to circumvent their own mobile hotspot features. AT&T, for example, continues to block the service. Open Garden, however, believes that its service could be a boon for carriers. “As the public accesses more data-centric and bandwidth-intensive applications, delivering that video content will become an increasingly bigger challenge for mobile operators. Consumers will blame carriers if their video quality is subpar,” Benoliel said in a statement today.
Besides the carriers, Open Garden is also talking with the automotive industry. For car manufacturers, Benoliel argued, Open Garden could offer a kind of asynchronous telemetry service that could use a driver’s phone to cache data on the phone and then send it to the car manufacturer when it’s on a Wi-Fi network. In addition, an Open Garden-enabled car could also just use a driver’s phone to provide Internet access to on-board apps.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has an amazing knack for saying things that contradict scientific evidence, despite the fact that he is a retired medical professional. When Donald Trump tried to assert that vaccines cause autism during the second Republican presidential debate, Carson shot him down, which was great. But then he perpetuated a myth that is also harmful to public health: the idea that we give children too many vaccines too close together. There is zero scientific evidence to support this, and it's strange that a doctor would perpetuate it. Now, Carson is affirming his belief that the Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain, and not as tombs for pharaohs, which archaeologists have mountains of evidence was the case.
Carson first stated his strange theory during a 1998 commencement speech at Andrews University. On Wednesday, reporters asked him if he still held this belief during a book tour stop in Naples, Florida, and he said he did: "Well, the pyramids were made in a way that they had hermetically sealed compartments. You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain for a long period of time."
Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big — when you stop and think about it, and I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time — to store that much grain.
This is yet another of Carson's strange opinions, which contradict science and stand in stark contrast to his respected career in medicine. Carson is also a creationist, and has said that Darwin's theory of evolution was encouraged by "the adversary." As in Satan.
Archaeologists are not happy with this declaration, especially as it's coming from a presidential candidate who is almost tied in the polls for first place with Donald Trump. They say there is lots of physical evidence that the pyramids were used as tombs — evidence like, ya know, mummified people. Further, others have pointed out that the pyramids are not hollow. They have passages and chambers, and are not giant empty spaces, like what would be necessary for grain storage.
Others have accused Carson of racism, saying that he's unwilling to acknowledge the feats of non-Westerners, instead attributing the pyramids to Western religious figures.
Carson's claim has become a joke on Twitter, but it's unclear just how many people might agree with him. The Washington Post thinks that his position as an educated doctor might actually help him attract voters who like skeptics and those who fight the status quo. Regardless, Carson's idea that the pyramids were granaries confused many, and hopefully won't be taken too seriously.

I finished my doctoral research project about four years ago now and before I embarked on it, I saw myself very much as a practitioner. An academic was remote, untouchable and in ivory towers, in libraries or in academic environments. But through engaging in my project, I was able to discover that there is actually a real blend if we find the right approach for us, as practitioners, to investigate and enquire into our world of relational practice.
So I chose a methodology called action research, which is familiar to many in action learning sets, or in Honey and Mumford’s learning styles, or in Kolb’s learning theory of ‘plan, act, observe, reflect’.
What I have found, as a result of engaging in my research project, and subsequently, is that if we approach all our work from a place of enquiry and curiosity, seeing what is happening between ourselves and our clients as data, we can suspend our judge or the emotional triggers we may get caught up in, and use the data of what is happening to inform what we may do, or what the client may need to do next.
When I’m not sure what to do next, I pause and say, just one step, let’s explore, what is the data telling us? That helps me find a way to move forward on to the next step.

A survey of customers at Rimi stores shows that more than 80% of respondents rate the option of quickly paying for their purchases at a self-service checkout as highly positive, and an additional 12% rate the experience as positive. Self-service checkouts decrease the time customers spend on shopping, and they let customers check out at their own pace and speed. At the present moment there are more than 230 self-service checkout terminals at 40 Rimi stores throughout the Baltic States, and the number of participating stores will soon increase to 60. Self-service checkouts will also continue to be introduced to Rimi stores in Latvia next year, both in Riga and at regional stores.

As always I'm not going to talk about things you can read about on other websites. I would want to share pointers which are not out there at the moment wrt this shoe.
Fit - Get Half-Size Bigger!
Straight up - I found out that the fit is indeed a bit smaller than the standard US9 for my feet - so if you've had confusion & doubts because you read different reviews from different websites, trust me get half-size bigger than your normal sizing. Having said that it's a bit interesting for my case actually because my left foot is actually half-size smaller, it was perfect for the left... the right, however, yearned for a shoe half-size bigger.
And with such fitting, my poor right foot has been suffering bit more toe-crushing during the hill descends compared to my left - and I kept tightening the shoe-laces to ensure the mid-section is as secured as possible, holding the feet in place & not the toes keep jamming into the shoes, give the toes room to splay.
Having said that the uphill grip is actually pretty damn fantastic. The foot/shoe synergy was fabulous during the uphill climbs because the shoe/feet are more aligned.
But with the extra half-size, one could wear thicker socks and the toe-crushing during downhills won't be as bad.
The shoes will feel a bit puffed up cushiony from the box as well - and everything would feel a bit tight. I even contemplated wearing the shoes without the insert at first - it was THAT fluffed. New shoes I suppose. As I finished up my 3rd run in these shoes, I know the material has been stretched and the cushioning dampened by a fraction... and it is now slowly moulding to my sole/feet a bit more & hopefully I continue to develop that synergy between feet & shoes. All this, in addition to the half-size issue, made me think hard & long whether I've made a mistake with the sizing and the choice of shoe!
So I circled out the area where it was causing skin abrasion during the downhills. The extra heel cushioning held the feet well during uphill, however during downhills, this extra cushion would jab into the back of your feet and cause abrasion. Which was what happend to me. Way round it? wear sufficiently protective socks! Thin injinjis didn't cut it. I would probably need to add extra tape on my ankle as well around that area.
I do feel that TOPO does feel a fraction snuggier. hmm.. perhaps its because TOPO uses softer material, the Olympus does feel much hardier in terms of overall material. The few times the VIBRAM sole brushed against my legs, it felt rough and tough.. like it would last forever. I wouldn't be able to say the same about the TOPO's sole..
The shoe-shape design is very similar but not 100% the same as welll..
I've yet to fully test how well both shoes drains, and whether the upper material dries out quick. But judging from the material itself, my guess would be the TOPO.
Still early days to be honest.. and that's all I have for now, hope you've found this early review useful anyhoo.. thanks for reading.
The roominess of the shoes for my overall feet is absolutely improved when I remove the insert, its just the shape of my feet vs the design I suppose. So if you have similar challenges, you can try this method too..
By removing the insert it also means the feet is closer to the ground, and for a maximalist shoe - this is going to help with the tech downhills where you want cushioning but also not lose that ground-feel too much - for better stability & control.
The insert is decent quality & provides extra cushioning..
Shaving that extra few millimetres for the toes were absolutely necessary in my case..
Just a pic to show what I think is a normal feet that I own..

To reduce the waist size should do exercises that will help you burn the fat in your abdomen and obliques. How I have said many times reduce waist is not so easy, but with proper diet and exercise can reduce the waist size to get the desired size. When a woman wants to have small waist should forget about the idea of making muscles in the stomach, because this is what we achieve is to have a square waist not want the female figure as most women to look more beautiful and attractive to men and herself.
So do not forget to reduce the waist should eat well and exercise properly suited to shape the waist.
The only solution to have small and slim waist is balancing a balanced diet and exercise can observe satisfactory results in very little time and can wear the clothes of your dreams and do not ever dare to use why not have a small waist and feminine.
Here I share a diet to reduce waist quickly and with lasting effects, and is not complicated to do.
In this diet to reduce waist and not have to worry about leaving to eat, unlike all you can eat but in small quantities, making five meals a day that will be breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. From what we completely forget you fat intake is sugars.
Take note of what you eat for a month to reduce the waist and very feminine.
To reduce your waist you need to remove all the abdominal fat, which can only be achieved by doing crunches daily.
The first day will start doing 50 sit-ups you should gradually increase to 10 at ten every day in the first week, the first five abdominal crunches 60 the second day and so on. In the second week you should gradually increase from 25 to 25, when you get to 400 crunches a day, and only from there further increase abdominal leave, keeping in 400 crunches daily to reduce the waist.

Rg Luma specialise in bespoke pick, pack and palletise applications within the food and beverage sector.
We are all used to being able to walk into our local supermarkets any day of the week and being able to buy any of the multitude of choices that they offer. To ensure that a constant supply of these products are available to us, food manufacturers turn to automation and to RG Luma. We engineer solutions that can pick product from the production lines at whatever speeds you require, can change between products in seconds and can run for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From your morning pancakes to your evening barbecue dips, RG Luma automates production lines to keep the supermarket shelves stacked.
Traditionally Food production, and especially packing, has used people to maintain the required flexibility and speed of response to changes that the supermarkets demand. Rg Luma’s solutions within the food factories take this into account and are often based around robotics which are flexible enough to cater for many variants and allow change over times between those variants in seconds meaning that supermarket demands can be met every day.
Innovative solutions using cutting edge technology is how we deliver results to our customers … how can we help you?
Rachel’s Organic yoghurts are now a familiar premium brand on many supermarket shelves, in part, thanks to the automation that RG Luma provided that enabled them to expand their production facility from a restrictive manual process on one filling line to fully automated packing and palletising throughout their dairy.
Our challenge was to take pots (from 350g to 600g) direct from their fillers, check weigh and metal detect them to meet national food standards and then place them in to acetate trays at a rate of 120 pots per minute per line. When they were packed into trays we supplied a robotic solution to palletise the product ready for distribution to their customers.
Our solution had to be installed in the floor space of their existing dairy and involved integrating Sparc Systems check weigh/metal detectors, bespoke conveying, purpose built multihead pick and place servo systems and ABB robotic palletising robots. The solution was built with hygeinic wash down in mind and installed over weekends to ensure that there was no interruption to supply to their customers.
Data collection for weights and measures regulations was included and the result was that their production was able to expand to keep pace with their sales requirements without incurring any further high labour costs.
RG Luma had already installed robotic pancake stacking lines at Honeytop foods which were so successful that it allowed them to open new product markets to their customers. They decided to invest in crumpet production and required a solution that could pick and stack over a 1000 crumpets a minute in a variety of stack patterns for the multitude of customers that they were offering them to.
Using proven RG Luma and ABB flex picker technology was the obvious way forward and so we provided a flexible line with touch screen change over that included 12 robots utilising vision technology to pick individual crumpets and place them in a stack height determined by the particular customer packing format selected on each run.
An additional requirement was to recognise the crumpets’ top surface so that they could be packed face to face and back to back to maximise shelf visualisation. RG Luma developed algorithms to achieve this using the standard ABB “Pickmaster” software.
Stacks were then conveyed to Fuji Flow wrappers for final packaging before delivery to supermarket shelves.
Honeytop’s investment in RG Luma’s line was again a huge success and resulted in them being able to supply around 1200 crumpets a minute to their customers with no dedicated packing operators.

I have a file as below.
I want to pick only those records where date in position 11 is 1 day prior to today's date (19th Aug 2014).
My sysin card is as below.
This is selecting all the records from I/P. Where am I doing wrong?
You can code INREC and INCLUDE/OMIT COND in any order you like. It does not matter. SORT is going to execute them in the order it wants, which is always INCLUDE/OMIT COND first, then INREC.
Why LT if you want equal to?
Yes that was a mistake, I corrected it and now I am getting ZERO records in the O/P.
So Bill, it means I have to do it in two seperate steps?
Can you paste the sysout of what you are running now, please? In the Code tags.
INCLUDE/OMIT COND operates before INREC. Did the implications of that sink in?
You need to consult your SyncSORT (as it turns out) documentation to see if you can get a date format in INCLUDE/OMIT COND which matches your data format.
If not, I'd suggest a simple small step to set up the date in the format you need, as a SORT symbol, using SYMNAMES and then use that symbol by name in your INCLUDE COND=.
Read the piece about FIELDS. Don't use FIELDS on INREC, OUTREC or OUTREC on OUTFIL.
You don't need the OUTREC anyway. The "FIELDS" on your INREC (which is not needed because it does not do what you think/want) would be better OVERLAY just for the data you want changed (and don't you want to change it back afterwards?).
Yes, it'll work. However, every record is processed (due to need of OUTFIL INCLUDE=) and every record is extended to include a constant value. The more records on the file, the more noticeable the effects of this. To go this route I'd try to INCLUDE COND= at least something (like the YYYY value).
If not directly available in that format for INCLUDE COND=, set up a sort symbol on SYMNAMES. Generate in one small step, use (along with SYMNOUNT) in the second step, on the INCLUDE COND=.
That's why I switched to the other method.
set up a sort symbol on SYMNAMES. Generate in one small step, use (along with SYMNOUNT) in the second step, on the INCLUDE COND=.
Yep, like that. I'd just include the SYMNOUT DD in the second step as well, but not vital where there is only one symbol (the value it has can readily be worked out from the converted control cards - the SYMNOUT makes it explicit).
Thanks Bill. I have not much experience of using symbols. Mostly because at my site, if a SORT is doing more than 'sorting' they make me write a program for it.

It sure has been awhile. Anyhow, here's my attempt at a chiptune dance track ( I suspose? ).
The siren is the sliding synth, I can hear it too, lol.
Not much criticism for this tune, it has a real full sound to it and I think the idea was good and it was executed well too. The bass has a real full sound to it, which is refreshing. The mixing is pretty much right on, in my opinion. I wouldn't change a thing about it. I think it was mixed very well.
Percussion was good, seemed to fit well. Not much else to say really...it's a great track keep up the great work.
Yay for sliding synths i suspose.
About the full sound, it's possibly my best mix of a song yet. But i can't understand why. Maybe because the synths are fairly simple. I mean, the bass is , im pretty sure, 2 osc saws. That's it. 3xosc no less ^^. With a sidechain on the kick to avoid clashing.
I like it started out and gradually builds up into an incredible piece. The way it is retro through and through is brilliant as well. Kind of makes me feel like I am on an adventure actually which is pretty sick as well. The siren feeling sound is great actually, makes me feel like I am escaping someone. All the sounds make me feel retro and as if I was collecting and shooting things.
The overall flow is chilling yet so amazing as well and I love it. Great job on this piece.
Overall, kind of reminds me of Scott Pilgrim and TMNT the game, great job.
THanks for your review. Anyhow, i don't know exactly what you mean by siren sound. I geuss one of the slidey synths? Well i never planned that this song would mean anything or feel like anything. I just had loads of fun making it and that's it :P. But still thanks for saying that it sounds retro.
Hmm, i've never seen Scott Pilgrim before nor played TMNT the game. Maybe i should look into those.
The cheese is immense. AND LOL at a 8 BIT breakdown. That made me laugh so freaking much! So thats what your up to these days!!
What can i say, i love cheese :D.
Dunno what you mean by 8bit breakdown though. Since anything isn';t 8bit at all. I used a cheap low pass and highpass filter for the ehh filtered parts. And all the synths are 3xosc. I just tried making them like the oldkool synths. :D Slidey synths and that chord thing.
Haha this sounds really cool. Probably best 8-bit dance track iv ever heard.
because I honestly can't write constructive reviews.
It sounds nice though, one of the main synths has an attack on it I'm not a big fan of though, but it's still fine.

Home > Soft & Green > Wellbeing and Hygiene > The joy of running.
Why do we run? A question that is not always easy to answer. Certainly to stay healthy, but if we consider the impressive growth in the number of runners, this explanation does not seem sufficient.
A word from the experts.
Some experts have studied this phenomenon, which has seen an enormous increase in participation. This is probably because running has lost part of its competitive nature: it is no longer running to “become”, but to “be”; in search of well-being that is not only physical but also mental and even relational. For the pleasure, that is, to do it together.
So we run to feel good. But some also run for higher reasons: some companies, for example, organize teams that register for various marathons with the aim of raising funds for a good cause. One thing is certain. In a super technological world, the simplest (and least expensive) sporting activity seems destined to continue its run towards success.
The Sofidel Running Team project aims to promote a culture of well-being and good living among the company’s people. Participants share a common goal: to travel an imaginary world tour at the equator, equal to 40,075 km (24,901 miles). The lengths covered by each team member are added to those of others in a collective effort that is intended to be a great, ideal, Sofidel embrace to the planet. This also aims at supporting WaterAid through collective fundraising.

After my experience in using Aperture 3 to make my first Apple photo book, I wondered, “Is there a difference in the quality of a photo book printed with iPhoto versus Aperture 3”?
Despite using iPhoto to organize all my photos, I have never used my iPhoto to make a photo book. I guess I just got used to making books with the first company I tried (MyPublisher), but since then, I’ve been venturing out a lot more (as you can probably tell).
1) Aperture 3 offers much more advanced photo editing tools. You cannot compare the handful of basic iPhoto’s editing tools with the extensive options Aperture 3 gives you to make precise adjustments. iPhoto works fine for a quick fix of snapshots, but is not for the more serious hobbyist and definitely too limiting for pros.
2) Aperture 3 offers an easy way to edit your photos en masse. (A big advantage over Photoshop is how the workflow “flows” – I didn’t realize how tedious it was to open each individual photo in Photoshop in order to do edits. Multiply that over 300 photos and it can get very time consuming! It was nice to have all the photos right there and easily accessible to edit. A bonus was to be able to readily access the editing tools while working in the book design software.
3) Aperture 3 offers fully customizable layouts – a must for anyone who’s into making photo books like me – iPhoto doesn’t have that capability.
4) Aperture 3 does non-destructive editing – if for some reason you want to get back to your original photo (or photo book version), you can do that and easily backtrack and undo any edits.
5) You can save your book design in Aperture 3 as a PDF and upload it to any photo book company – you’re not restricted to printing it with Apple as is the case with iPhoto.
Aperture 3 is clearly the better program for editing and book creation (duh), but it is $199 more than the ole’ standby iPhoto which comes on your Mac, so you have to decide for yourself if the features are important to you. Try the free Aperture 3 trial to see for yourself.
-The books are all printed at the same production facility.
-I had read that iPhoto does a pretty aggressive downsampling or compression of photo book files as they are uploaded for printing, but that Aperture’s compression was less. I asked Apple’s customer support if that was the case, and while they didn’t give specifics, I was told that the compression rates for iPhoto and Aperture do differ and that there was no way to adjust that. However, the representative stated that the different compression amounts do not affect the print quality of their books, prints, calendars and cards.
If you’re interested, check out my earlier post featuring my detailed Apple Aperture 3 photo book review.
See my Aperture 3 overview.
These photos were taken of the new iPad we just got today and of course I had to see how my site looks on it! Hmmm…wonder what they’ll say about the iPhone later today???
Hi Joy! I’m working on my honeymoon book now too! (bridal shower and rehearsal dinner are on the list too…) It was really hard to find the answer to this question on the internet and forums, so I just contacted customer service and asked follow up questions for clarification. They were really prompt to respond, so I’ll give good marks to Apple for customer service. I really liked how my AdoramaPix book turned out – it is a very different product from other photo book printers I’ve tried to date. Let me know how you like it. I haven’t tried Smilebooks myself, but the plan is to add more photo book companies as I go along. There are actually several that I have on my list to get into the database (including iPhoto). When you say your Smilebooks book was “okay” – do you mean print quality? If you have more info on that you want to share, that would be great. I’m glad that you’ve found my posts helpful – hope you’ll visit often!
To be fair when I say my bridal shower album was “ok” is that I wish I put a little more effort. I did 2 8×8 books, one soft and one hard cover. The one thing I didn’t like on the hardcover was that the little picture applied was a sticker, and looks like a sticker. But for a review of Smilebooks, the print quality was very good and the paper was a good thickness. Making the book with their program was fun. So I do recommend that you try them out and add them to your list. I will keep you updated on what happens next. I am taking my time on my projects. I will definitely be visiting often.
So many companies to try – so little time 🙂 Yes, please keep in touch!
Your website is my dream come true. I have so many books to make and am so stuck! I don’t know where to turn. I figured I’ld start trying them all one by one, but boy it takes a lot of time. I did make a shutterfly book a while ago, which came out nice, but the paper a little thin, photos pretty good, not great.
I did get a 30 day trial of Aperture and couldn’t get much done. I finally broke down and bought the program as I kept hearing and seeing it has the best and most customizable book design. Hadn’t tried the apple books yet, tho seen them in the store. Looks sort of the same as Shutterfly. I’m almost finished with an iphoto book, loved hearing your comparison. They do have fun templates, but not very customizable. I will probably switch to Aperture after this one.
I don’t like designing online, too slow, or at least it was a few years ago. Have blurb software and publisher. Wasn’t crazy about publisher books, but may try again. Love the idea of a heavier matt paper. Will have to check that out.
Anyway, I think the idea is to not be perfect, but just to move on and start making books! So glad you’ve got a good start…just wait til you have kids!!!!
Thanks again, will check out more of your posts!!!
Thanks for commenting! Yes, there’s so many companies out there – it can be confusing. I basically started making photo books by going online finding MyPublisher and then I made several books through them until venturing out to Blurb, Snapfish, Mpix. Then the rest is history. Off the top of my head, the most flexible design software I’ve seen so far is from Aperture, AdoramaPix and Photobook America. Picaboo and Mixbook also have a lot of flexibility too. I like different companies for different reasons which you’ll see in my reviews. If you scroll to the bottom you’ll see links to all the reviews there so you don’t have to click on the company logos. At some point I will add ratings and do more comparison posts, but it may take a bit of time…til then I hope my reviews will be helpful and good luck to you in your photobook making!
What a nicely organized site! For the last 2 Christmases, I have made several books with iPhoto and sent them to Apple. They came out nice. Everyone was impressed with them. The paper is flexible, not like a photo or stock type paper. I was a little frustrated by the limits in the layouts. As usual, what Apple supplies is well designed so nothing is going to look bad, but it’s not as customizable. I think I am going to try some other services and see what happens. Thanks for contacting Apple. I wish they had more information about their photo services.
If I use aperture and export to a PDF to print with another company, do I need to find one that offers the same book size? Will my two page spreads work with a layflat book someplace else? I really wish Aperture offered layflat!
I currently use iPhoto and was contemplating Aperture so your review was very helpful. Thank you.
I also have two questions. 1. Mpix, Blurb etc??? – Do the quality of the pictures in the photobook match that of 4×6 photos from shutterfly? 2. And have you tried WHCC?
Thanks so much for this website. I just made a photobook and tried out apple iphoto book and mypublisher. We went for the glossy page option with my publisher, which was extra. Don’t know if it was that that made the difference but the quality was noticeably better in my publisher. The images were sharp and photo-quality whereas the iphoto ones were grainier and ‘home printer’ quality. Iphoto software is nicer to use and customise so might be better for a scrap book type thing where the quality doesn’t matter quite so much but for sonething where you have professional quality photos I’d go with my publisher every time. Thanks for your recommendation fir my publisher – it really helped make the decision.
Have you ever known anyone who created a photobook completely within Lightroom 3?
I have found anything regarding printing in any way to be frustrating with Lightroom, but it would make my life easier.
Also, I agree with you so much re Photoshop and doing things 300 times… I am not good at making droplets, though that would take care of a lot of the drudgery.
Any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for this information. I’ve been wondering if there was a difference in quality and found your website by googling that question. I used iPhoto for printing a photobook this past December and was not pleased with it – mostly because of bleed over on several facing pages. My photos also printed dark.
Hoi. Thank you for writing this. I appreciate your effort. I am adding sources to offer my own clients, and I was searching for this info relentlessly. Non archival is worrysome. I know it may not get lots of direct exposure, but will the print hold up to the acid and oils in the hand? will it fade and run?
I think aperture offers a nice design package, but since the apple prices are ubiquitous, I dont have any room for profit except for layout. This hurts me when I shoot gigs for printing expenses only.And I look for other options in quality, so I am really interested in that price calculator and your publishers 180Lb papers. I think I would like to add this to my options for my clients as I grow my business I want the BEST quality, or else they could go to wall mart.The DPI is a consideration. Curious about the iphoto print formats. hmmm. Im also curious as to thier photo paper quality.
I have one local printer that is archival and competitive but i have to spend considerable time editing, but, I know its solid product.
Do you know what company apple uses for their prints, im sure they are not making them in Cupertino. If you can find out and post it here, Id love to know this info.
I’m not sure what company Apple uses for their prints. My book did come from CA though, I can’t recall the exact city on the packaging. You may be interested in this post since you asked about paper quality: http://www.photobookgirl.com/blog/photo-book-paper-quality-compared-photo-book-company-prints-best-paper/ Hope that helps!
I have been using Aperture 3 and Apple print books for a few months now. Yes they are pricy, however by the time you add paper, ink and some sort of portfolio or picture book to keep the photos in, the option makes sense. I am using the Extra-Large Hard Copy books and the quality is really good. I am going to give several different books away for Christmas as gifts. Each book ranges from $49-100+ depending on the number of pages. There is some lag time in getting books back from Apple, however printing takes time. Also, I live in Michigan and the books have come out of Oregon so geography is not in my favor. Aperture is a really great program and does a nice job of cleaning your photos, allowing you to stamp your pic’s in places, your people in faces and interfaces very well with i-photo. I HIGHLY recommend using you tube or getting a self help book for Aperture as it is as simple or complex as you want it to be and why not learn about the program. I have converted from Photoshop to Aperture to get the value of the database and book printing. Your posts are great, thank you for the valuable information and confirmation. I have not tried print books form Wallmart, Cosco or other less expensive websites, and probably won’t. The “buy book now” button just is too easy. Gotta love Apple for ease of use.
Yes, I’m a Mac junkie myself – ever since the Apple Performa I had about 20 years ago 🙂 Too bad their books never go on sale though!
I’m reviewing Lightroom 4 now. Was excited about the photo book feature, but after downloading the free trial, am finding out they don’t offer custom sizes! Why would they do that? Argggghhhh!
You should be able to export your book as a PDF and then print it with any company that will take PDF files. I know that Blurb does that. Not all companies will take PDFs. Blurb is one of them. Best!

YOHO! is back, ready to showcase the cutting edge of fashion. The trade show allows clothing brands to connect with those who wear the threads on the streets of China. Moving into it’s 11th year – we are proud to host the Yo’Hood afterparty again in 2016!
After throwing a crazy four venue party last year, we are now going to distill the vibes into one club with a huge party at Arkham. Bringing the beats will be Joey Purp & Kohh, supported by local acts Fader One, Louie Louie & G₳LI.
Joey Purp, member of the Money Saving Crew, is a wild lyricist hailing from Chicago, He made his name featuring on critically acclaimed projects like ‘Surf’ by Donnie Trumpet & Chance The Rapper, ‘Innanetape’ by Vic Mensa and ‘.wav Theory’ by Towkio. He continued exploring sonic boundaries as part of Leather Corduroys, with their album hitting over 1.5 million plays and paving the way for them to grace the stages of festivals across the USA.
In 2016, alongside touring with Vic Mensa, he released a solo album – iiiDrops – and it was immediately received as one of the best hip hop records of the year, gaining a strong 8.2 from Pitchfork earning ‘Best New Album’.
KOHH, born in the town of Ouji (Japan), composes heavy hitting raw lyrics that express the realistic and rough side of life. His style cannot be categorized or placed in a genre box. Releasing tracks since 2012, he became the first Hip Hop artist from Japan to be featured internationally on Vice. His second album ‘Monochrome’ rose to #1 in the iTunes hip hop charts in 2014, with his 2015 offering ‘Kuchinashi’ hitting #1 overall. He also featured on the sensation ‘It G Ma’ with Keith Ape which has now hit over 21 million plays on youtube.
Fader One & Louie Louie are both key components of the Yeti Out contingent here in Shanghai. Fader produces Hip Hop while Louie Louie, the artist formerly known as Yung Sol, tries his hand at experimental urban sounds. G₳LI is known as one of Shanghai’s tightest DJs and always keeps the crowd guessing with his selections.

Computer literacy and competence are essential for effective adaptation to the challenges of the next century. Some populations, however, have fewer opportunities to learn these necessary skills. Among the various inequalities of access and competence, one of the most notable is the apparent difference between girls and boys. In attempting to identify the sources of these apparent differences and inequalities and to devise means for reducing the gaps, some investigators have focused on the influence of peer interactions. By observing children function under different conditions of gender pairing, it is possible to examine the influence of gender pairing on children's attitude and performance on the computer. This study examines the influence of gender pairing and the nature of educational software on boys' and girls' computer attitudes, feelings of competence, and performance. The researcher assessed children's performance and attitudes through interviews, observations, and computer scores. The participants who completed all phases of the study number 93 fourth graders and 41 fifth graders from two elementary schools. Each child engaged in three computer sessions followed by an interview. Children worked with a same-gender partner one session and a different-gender partner another session. Half of the children who participated utilized drill and practice software and the other half exploratory software.
The results indicated few significant differences in performance scores. The observation data, however, implied reliable variations in interaction styles between the gender-paired groups. The boys were more likely to be exploratory, and engage in insulting and interrupting behavior, while girls were more likely to be supportive, to be talkative, and to ask their peers for help. Based on the interview, both boys and girls enjoyed a variety of software, but more boys preferred action/adventure and violent games, while more girls preferred creative and writing types of software. In choosing a partner, most boys and girls said that the gender of the partner was unimportant in regards to interest in computers, computer competence, a partner that is easier to work with, and a partner with whom more work gets done. Nevertheless, they said that generally children will choose a same-gender partner.

A Lely robotic milking system can milk 60 cows per robot or more, with an average of 2.6 milkings per cow per day. These figures are dependent on factors such as milk speed and production. Typically a robot can achieve 180 milkings per day with a goal of harvesting 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of milk per day.
7. Can you achieve labour savings or more flexible schedules in a robotic milking system?
Robots offer a great deal of freedom and flexibility of lifestyles and labour. Labour requirements vary based on management style, herd size and needs. Lely’s goal is help you become more efficient and flexible with labour and your time.

My name is Sarah and I am thrilled to offer pelvic floor physiotherapy at Movin’ Mountains. It is an area that is so often overlooked and can have such a significant impact on one’s quality of life. After 10 years of clinical practice and having had a son myself, I have come to appreciate even more the integral role that the pelvic floor and a strong responsive core play in a healthy, active body. I am excited to share my knowledge of the pelvic floor and how to treat conditions ranging from incontinence, prolapse, diastasis rectus, pelvic pain and others. It is key to recognize that the interplay of small, targeted changes can result in large functional gains.
I graduated honours with distinction in Biology from the University of Victoria in 2003 and then graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2006 with a Master of Physical Therapy. Since graduation I have pursued post-graduate courses in manual therapy, the vestibular system and vertigo, the shoulder, core stability and the pelvic floor, and bike fitting for road cyclists, triathletes and mountain bikers.
I have clinical experience in the private practice setting treating a multitude of conditions and a year working on the medical floor and ICU at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. I have also been a preceptor for physiotherapy students from UBC. I have a strong emphasis placed on manual therapy, exercise prescription and education while providing patient centred treatment programs.
A bit about me: In my free time I enjoy swimming, cycling and skiing. I also loves the time spent with my husband and son in the outdoors, be it paddling, hiking, camping or sailing.
What does my quote mean? My quote is derived from a quote by Pablo Picasso which states: “Action is the foundational key to all success.” I find this quote to be empowering. To me it illustrates that even a small action can overcome the inertia and fear of trying to achieve a larger goal. The most important thing is to act.

The BC Government wants to hear from YOU!
To its credit, the new government says it wants to do things differently.
After conferring with Indigenous leaders, citizen groups, industry executives and an expert panel, they say they want to restore public confidence in project reviews, advance reconciliation with First Nations and make real strides on climate. Residents want economic development without having to sacrifice their ability to hunt, fish, breathe fresh air and drink clean water.
We need everyday people to keep our lawmakers on track.
Right now British Columbians have a rare chance to tell the government what we want!

This may not bother everyone as much as it bothers a dog walker, but there is nothing worse than a soggy leash wrapped around your neck, or even your wrist for that matter. I love these Tilden Leashes by OllyDog because they are stink-proof, waterproof, and flexible enough to be comfortable around your wrist and in your hand. They come in fun colors and last for years!
These are probably my #1 must have item for dog owners in Seattle. If you're dog plays outside and gets wet and muddy, you need this collar! Have you ever noticed that sometimes the stinky dog actually isn't stinky, it's just the collar? Dublin collars solve that problem entirely! The collars are sturdy rubber, stink proof, waterproof, easy to wash and perfect for Seattle. In my opinion, every active outdoorsy dog needs one of these. I am so adamant about them, I actually bought them for all of my clients for holiday gifts one year.
The Soggy Doggy doormat may not seem like much, but it piqued my curiosity enough to try it out. I was really surprised with how well it worked! I got two of them for our boat. The dogs (and us) track in so much water from the deck into the cabin and before you know it, the whole floor is wet. These mats are so absorbent that with just one step on the mat, the paws come off onto the floor dry and clean. It's pretty incredible! Their a small (and I think local?) company, and definitely worth a try!
The Furminator FurDry Wrap Towel is kind of a joke and kind of genius. It's like a bathrobe for your dog. It solves the problem (mostly) of the wet dog jumping on the couch, or getting their bed all soggy. You just wrap them up and let them hang out. By the time you take it off, they are fluffy and dry! I think this would be especially useful for the Golden Retrievers and any other long haired dogs. Yes, they look pretty ridiculous, but a rubbing them with a towel can only get them so dry, believe me, I am a pro!
Give your dog a space to dry off - whether it is a laundry room, a gated off kitchen, or a crate, it helps everyone to know they aren't going to jump straight onto your white couch.
If you use a non-waterproof leash or collar (such as the Wonder Walker harnesses), throw them in the wash once a week to keep the stink away.

Miles, Bailey and I just found our new favorite toy: NiteIze Innovation Meteorlight K-9. It is a rubber ball that lights up when you push it. This ball is perfect for Seattle winters when it gets dark out at 4pm. I don't know about your dog, but Bailey loses way too many tennis balls when it is dark out, and she rarely loses a ball! The ball is powered by an LED light and it changes colors as it flies through the air. The dogs had no trouble finding the ball in the pitch dark and I was constantly entertained watching the changing colors bouncing through the dark. I bought the meteorball at the Queen Anne All The Best. They said they've heard from others that the battery lasts about 3 months.
I have hesitated buying this ball for so long because it is $11.99, which in my mind, is outrageous for one ball, but if the dogs can see this ball and we don't lose it, it may be cheaper than losing numerous orange rubber balls!

Start crating your pup early and they will soon love their "house" in no time. I always suggest to give a special treat or Kong filled with peanut butter each them they go in their crate. There are many options for bedding available, personally, I like to put a big fluffy blanket or bunch of towels so the puppy can kind of nest and get cozy, and also get used to my smell even more. Plus it's easier to wash frequently than a dog bed.
New puppies may have a hard time sleeping through the night at first b/c they miss the heartbeat of their littermates. This pillow mimics the sound of a heartbeat. Or you can go the old fashioned way and buy a ticking alarm clock at Bartell's. Also you can put a Nalgene bottle of warm water in the crate so it feels like a warm body next to them.
When not in the crate, make sure your pup is in confined areas so you can keep an eye on them!
There are a ton of good puppy foods out there, and majority of them will be grain-free. Talk to someone at your local pet store to help you decide what is best for your pup. I like to go to Mud Bay Granary, All The Best or Petapoluza. Nick at Petapoluza is especially knowledgable and helpful about dog foods and only carries the highest quality labels.
These treats are great because they are easy to break into small pieces for little puppy mouths and lots of training, and they don't smell horrible but the pups love them!
Be it a treat pouch, a ziploc in your pocket, or just a pocket full of treats, make sure you are armed with treats at all times! You want to always be prepared to reward your pup for all the new behaviors he is learning!
I don't know what it is about this toy, but pups seems to love it!
This little ring gets soft and gummy for young puppies teeth. Bambi lived on these for several weeks.
This is a great toy to stuff with treats when you put your pup in their crate.
This is a ballwalkpark puppy gift basket classic. Everyone loves a squeaky hedgehog! Until the squeak drives you crazy..
The squeaky bee is another ballwalkpark classic. The bee is smaller and easier for pups to hold onto. Still soft and squeaky fun!
Accidents will happen. If your puppy can smell where the accident was, they will be more likely to have another one in the same place. This enzyme cleaner takes away all of the smell better than anything I've found. It's also ultra concentrated so a little goes a long way. You can find it at Mud Bay.
We are in Seattle. Muddy paws are an inevitable part of life. This ultra-absorbent towel will make your dry-off job that much easier.
Run this bone under the water, put it in the freezer, and give to your pup for some soothing relief.
A must-have for leash training! Check out my blog last week about the Wonder Walker body halter here.
I like this leash because it has a handle close down to the dog's neck also so you can keep them on a short lead at corners, cross walks, or in crowds. Bailey and I used this thing walking around Greenlake every single day for almost 4 years. Whether it's this leash or not, I highly recommend a flat nylon or rope leash as opposed to a retractable leash.
Pretty much the greatest invention ever. My profession pretty much relies on this handy little tool, considering I can't throw more than ten feet on my own... A great way to exercise your pup once they are a little older!
A QR code ("quick response") on a pet ID tag links to your pet's online data to show emergency contacts, medications, dietary information, and much more. Modifying your data is immediate, free, and does not require a modification to the physical ID tag.
Health Insurance is a MUST! Rates are reasonable, starting around $25-$30/mo depending on breed and depending on which plan you choose you can receive up to 90% of your vet bills back on accidents, illnesses and genetic problems. Healthy Paws is a great local Seattle company. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with them and highly recommend!

The Wonder Walker is much safer alternative to choke chains, and even a flat collar if your dog pulls. This harness can be used on any dog, of any age. Which brings me to another reason I am such a fan - if you start using this harness on a young puppy, you teach them the right way to walk from the beginning and eliminate pulling as a problem before it even starts.
The Wonder Walker comes in a ton of great colors that you can custom order. Another reason to love this company? It is local, based in Seattle! Explains why almost every dog walking up and down Queen Anne Ave is sporting one these days. I have bought mine at All The Best on Queen Anne.
**I am not given any incentive to write about this harness, I just really like it and want to share with everyone!

Kenidjack valley is one of the mines which has been improved.
The future of one of the most important historic mining areas in the country is being celebrated on Monday.
The National Trust has announced the completion of a 10-year project to secure the long term future for St Just in west Cornwall.
It is now one of the key sites in the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site bid.
The project has ensured the survival of over 70 industrial sites, including two of the country's best known mines.
In all an estimated 2,000 surviving shafts and 13 surviving engine houses have been saved.
The trust said the Cornish mining industry made a key contribution to the evolution of an advanced industrial economy and society in Britain between 1700 and 1934.
The St Just mining district was one of the richest, most important mining areas in Cornwall.
Mark Harold, National Trust regional director for Devon and Cornwall, said: "The completion of the St Just coast project is a significant milestone in the ongoing conservation of Cornwall and West Devon's celebrated industrial landscape.
"This celebration is an opportunity for us to say thank you to everyone who has made this project possible, but also to highlight how working in partnership to protect our cultural heritage can regenerate the countryside and support local communities."
The trust said the St Just Coast Project could not have been achieved without significant funding and building firm partnerships with the local community and organisations including Cornwall County Council, the South West Regional Development Agency, English Heritage, Objective One and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Nigel Sumpter, principal project officer for the St Just Heritage Area Regeneration Project, said: "As part of the project, for the first time in its history the world's best preserved arsenic works, near the famous Crowns engine houses at Botallack, can be safely entered."

There's lot of discussion about how the value of electric cars will hold up over time, depending on how long their expensive lithium-ion battery packs last and how quickly they may lose capacity.
But now the folks who estimate used-car prices for a living, the NADA Guide, have weighed in with their take on the value of one-year-old Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt models.
According to trade journal Automotive News [subscription required], the June issue of the NADA Guide will set the value of a "typically equipped 2011 Leaf SV electric car" at $23,975.
That, according to NADA, is 95 percent of its price after incentives.
Which is true, if you assume that the original owner paid the 2011 sticker price of $32,780 and has already filed 2011 taxes and been able to realize the full Federal tax credit of $7,500 on them.
That puts the retail cost at $25,280--using the calculation known as "net pricing," a practice with which we take issue.
NADA Guide analyst Maynard Brown says the company considers tax credits to be equivalent to purchase rebates because used Leaf and Volt buyers are aware of them and would not buy a used plug-in car for a higher effective price than the original buyer.
Note: Since $32,780 is the base price of a 2011 Leaf SV without any additional options, the math would likely be a bit more accurate if we were to add something like $1,500 for the options that may be in the "typically equipped" Leaf SV model assumed by NADA Guide.
For the record, the base-level Leaf SV model was vastly outsold by the high-end Leaf SL model, according to Nissan.
That's a higher percentage loss than the 2011 Honda Civic (which lost 24 percent) or the 2011 Toyota Prius (which lost a remarkably low 12 percent of its price).
Comparable figures for the Chevy Volt were 90 percent of sale price after the tax credit, and 75 percent not including its value (or a 25-percent loss).
Do you think the argument that Leaf and Volt prices have to be below the post-incentive level, because a second buyer won't pony up more cash than the original owner, holds water?

Millions of children around the world will be celebrating the globally recognized holiday, Halloween. From Mexico, to the United States, to Canada, to Ireland; each culture has found a unique way to celebrate this ancient holiday. Traditions vary in differing cultures, but a few things remain the same: pranks, games and costume parties.
For this reason, Halloween is a great time to teach your children a new language and culture. In over a dozen cultures and languages, you can find Halloween traditions, old and new, that will keep your child wanting more! Angela Jackson, founder of the Global Language Project, a nonprofit program that teaches youth a second language while preparing them them to compete in a global workforce, gives some great exercises and games to introduce your children to various cultures this Halloween.
In Mexico, Latin America and Spain, All Souls’ Day, which takes place on November 2, is commemorated with a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31. The celebration is designed to honor the dead who, it is believed, return to their earthly homes on Halloween.
bonfires are lit as they were in the days of the Celts and children dress up in costumes to spend the evening “trick-or-treating” in their neighborhoods. Children are also known to play tricks upon their neighbors on Halloween night. One of which is known as “knock-a-dolly,” where children knock on the doors of their neighbors but then run away before the door is opened.
In Korea, Chusok is a time when families thank their ancestors for the fruits of their labor. The family pays respect to these ancestors by visiting their tombs and making offerings of rice and fruits. The Chusok festival takes place in the month of August.
In Sweden, Alla Helgons Dag is celebrated from October 31 until November 6. As with many other holidays, Alla Helgons Dag has an eve which is either celebrated or becomes a shortened working day. The Friday prior to All Saint’s Day is a short day for universities while school-age children are given a day of vacation.
Unlike most nations of the world, Halloween is not celebrated by the French in order to honor the dead and departed ancestors. It is regarded as an “American” holiday in France and was virtually unknown in the country until around 1996.

The Inspectorate completed 75 visits as part of a joint operation with Immigration New Zealand and Inland Revenue in June of this year.
Initial analysis indicated 73 subcontractors rolling out broadband networks had breached minimum employment standards.
Chorus, which in December sought assurances from subcontractors that employment standards were being met, said today it was extremely disappointed with the findings and would take immediate action.
“We have always been clear in our expectations of our subcontractors regarding employment practices, to the extent that breaches of employment standards are also breaches of their contracts with us,” said Kate McKenzie, Chorus CEO.
The investigations represent the first phase of inquiry into employment breaches within the data cabling industry and the inspectorate is planning further activity across New Zealand.
“We were made aware that migrant workers in the broadband industry were potentially being exploited by various subcontracting companies undertaking work on behalf of Chorus," Lumsden said.
“Breaches we observed to-date included contracting employers failing to maintain employment records, pay employees’ minimum wage, holiday entitlements, and provide employment agreements."
In a number of cases contractors deliberately used practices such as ‘volunteering’ or extended trial and training periods without pay.
Approximately 900 subcontracting companies have had working agreements with Chorus and its three main sub-contractors.
"Each of these have different work practices ranging from the compliant down to the outright exploitative, so the investigations are very involved and will continue," Lumsden said.
“Many of these employees represent a vulnerable section of the New Zealand workforce that often aren’t aware of their minimum employment rights, and are concerned with their visa status.
"Large companies such as Chorus need to be proactive and ensure that their contractors and subcontractors are not exploiting their workers."
E tū union's communications industry coordinator, Joe Gallagher, said the findings were alarming but not surprising.
“We have known about the effect of this contracting model since they started it,” he said.
In December, when incidents of mistreatment first emerged, Chorus said it had thousands of people working in the field rolling out the fibre program and the claims raised in the media were "not reflective of the wider industry".
"However, we are constantly refining our framework for working with our contractors to ensure the best outcomes that we can," Chorus network and field general manager Ed Beattie said.
