Does Muscle coactivation influence joint excursions during gait in children with and without hemiplegic cerebral palsy? Relationship between muscle coactivation and joint kinematics.
Background The theoretical role of muscle coactivation is to stiffen joints. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between muscle coactivation and joint excursions during gait in children with and without hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Methods Twelve children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy and twelve typically developing children underwent gait analysis at three different gait speeds. Sagittal hip, knee, and ankle kinematics were divided into their main components corresponding to joint excursions. A coactivation index was calculated for each excursion from the electromyographic envelopes of the rectus femoris/semitendinosus, vastus medialis/semitendinosus, or tibialis anterior/soleus muscles. Mixed linear analyses of covariance modeled joint excursions as a function of the coactivation index and limb.
Findings In typically developing children, increased coactivation was associated with reduced joint excursion for 8 of the 14 linear models (hip flexion, knee loading, knee extension in stance, knee flexion in swing, ankle plantarflexion from initial contact to foot-flat, ankle dorsiflexion in stance and in swing). Conversely, ankle plantarflexion excursion at push-off increased with increasing tibialis anterior/soleus coactivation. In the involved limbs of the children with cerebral palsy, knee loading, ankle plantarflexion at push off, and ankle dorsiflexion in swing decreased, while hip extension increased, with increasing muscle coactivation.
Interpretation The relationships between muscle coactivation and joint excursion were not equally distributed in both groups, and predominant in typically developing children. The results suggest that excessive muscle coactivation is not a cause of stiff-knee gait in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, but appears to be related to spastic drop foot.

A visit to a new Nando's with my friend who had just got back from visiting home. This was the next branch on my list of central London branches. It's easy to find, just a minutes walk from Baker Street station. Got a bit disorientated at first then realised I could actually see it from the station. I thought it was really small at first before I noticed it had a downstairs, we got seated in the smaller upstairs on a table for two, they weren't too squashed up against each other so that was good.
Friendliness of Staff - The staff were friendly enough but when we went up to order there was only one person on the tills while 4 or 5 people were stood behind him chatting, this was a bit annoying while I was waiting to be served 2/5 for staff.
Speed of Service - There was no queue when we ordered, but one quickly formed behind us, as I just said there was only one person on a till so it took longer than it could have for me and my friend to get served. The food came in under 10 minutes so 4/5 for Speed.
Food - I got my usual Butterfly chicken with Peri-chips and garlic bread. The chip portion was kind of small with an ok amount of Peri-salt on and they tasted fine. The garlic bread was burnt in a nice way but wasn't fantastic. The chicken was delicious and bathed in extra hot sauce. This was above average food. 4/5 for the food.
Decor - The decor wasn't that impressive, no cool artwork upstairs, nothing that stood out. I got a brief look at the downstairs and it looked better with lots of booths and a huge mirror that made the room look like it went on forever, also there in tills on both floors which means no going upstairs to order 3/5 for decor.
Overall this was mainly an average branch with some pretty awesome chicken, and that's the most important thing so 4/5 for this branch.

It is the ability of wasps to cause painful stings that concerns most people. Unexplained road accidents have sometimes been attributed to the distraction of drivers by wasps. They are not regarded as particularly aggressive and the ability to sting is employed by the social wasps to defend their nests. The sting is caused by the injection of venom into the victim by means of the modified ovipositor of the females. Unlike the sting of bees the wasp sting can be withdrawn from the victim. The venom is haemolytic, haemorrhagic and neurotoxic. Histamine is also present which causes the redness, flare and weal in skin. Wasp Control Manchester will treat your problem.

Today has been busy and I'm insanely tired (damn these obligations demanding attention all of a sudden), but I'd at least like to make a post in honor of hide's birthday. If I have my dates right, he would just have turned forty-three.
I know how it sounds, but I wonder what Yoshiki is doing.
Woah, his hair is especially awesome here. Also, the band he's playing with..."Spread Beaver" ...their name makes me laugh.
Does it stay hot pink? Also, I thought the band's name was more dirty than illogical...guess I just have a dirty mind.
Hahaha, good. And woah, are we online at the same time? That's madness.

Made in collaboration with Brick Lane Jamme Masjid community, Jamaat (2018) (translated from Arabic meaning assembly) is made and exhibited respecting the religious and cultural rules of the mosque. Jamaat comprises of two simultaneous installations, one in the main prayer hall and one in the female prayer room. The mechanical recording device is used as an anonymous eye; in a culturally sensitive environment such as the mosque, the objectivity of the machine allows entry to a place that is forbidden for a female non-Muslim.
The camera is not permitted to film in front of the people praying, nor can it show their faces. Subsequently, an automated rig is constructed to film from above, at a constant speed from the entrance to the Mihrab. The pre-recorded footage of the Jamaat prayer is then projected back into the architectural space using the same automated device. The controlled motorisation of the projection mirrors the movement of the recorded image, which gives the effect of only the frame moving through physical space, constantly revealing and concealing the actual site below. The projected image appears to be multi-layered, as the image of the carpet maps with the real carpet, whereas the bodies in prayer become ghostly illusions.
Jamaat questions how the projected image relates to the real space and how the experience of the real space is mediated by the image. Both installations bring forth a very precise relationship between body and space, helped by the fact that the people it addresses are coming to worship and therefore invested in the place. It could be argued that there is already a form of site-integrity in the mosque because of the religious and social practices that happen there. How much are the religious practices responsible for defining a mosque?
Jamaat has found a way to connect and engage the prayer spaces, allowing access for men and women to both sites. Each installation functions as a self-making apparatus, in turn, making a broader argument about the triumph of lived space over representational space. At the end of the residency, the Jamme Masjid invite the general public into the main prayer hall and female prayer room, providing an opportunity for Muslims and non-Muslims to experience Jamaat first hand via the site-performances.

Greetings, jammers! It's been a rough week, or really year, for us music fans--the recent losses of Leonard Cohen and Leon Russel have been widely felt and have reopened the wounds left by the passing of greats such as David Bowie, Prince, Merle Haggard, and many others who've left us this year. But let us not be hung up on their passing. Instead, let us celebrate how ALIVE they all made us felt. So, for Episode 88, here is a special LIVE episode, with samplings of some of the icons we miss and some other prolific live performances that serve to capture how alive music can make us all feel.

Lately, it seems as if I am out to prove that things that look simple and straightforward really aren't. Today's topic is no exception, especially if you are a beginner. When I just started out on this path of developing, the world was a very different place; technology was different. Things weren't as easy as it is today (thank you, Microsoft!). I learnt everything I know myself; it wasn't easy and I wanted to give up so many times.
It was the little things that got me down, literally. I remember my very first book I had to learn (remember: without help!). I remember the very first error I got and how I spent hours not understanding why the error occurred. This sucked. I will get to the point soon, I promise! It is not often I get to pour my heart out to strangers. In any case, a simple thing such as the Enabled property let my mind wonder a lot, and no I do not have ADHD, and I thought about what makes some Properties tick.
Enough about me. Let's talk about overriding disabled properties of some controls.
I will not explain control properties. Even as a novice, this should be one of the very first things you learn about programming.
I mentioned a term earlier: Overriding. Overriding is the process of changing the default method or property of an object. Here is more information regarding Overriding object methods. Although I mention the word overriding, you will not really do it in a similar fashion as you may have learned from the previous link, or as you may already know. The object of today's little exercise is to change the default behaviour of an object when that object has been disabled.
Start Visual Basic and create a new Windows Forms project. You may name it anything you like. Add a Component to your project by selecting Project, Add Component, as shown in Figure 1.
UserPaint means that the control should paint itself rather than having the operating system do it.
If you build your application now, there should not be any errors. After the Build, navigate back to your form's design view and have a look at the Toolbox. Your newly created component should now be listed, as shown in Figure 2. Add this component to your form. Feel free to set any properties of it; it is, after all, still a label.
This code is quite simple. It creates an in-memory Bitmap (picture) of the label, according to our specifications. I edited the font and the back color, and then tested again whether or not the label is Enabled.
Build your application again, and add this component from your toolbox onto your Form.
This checks to see if our Boolean flag is True or False. Based on this answer, it updates the display of the two labels accordingly.
A supposedly simple task can sometimes be much more effort than what it needs to be. Yes, it is not too complicated to override the disabled properties, but it's still a tedious amount of work.

Added by Andy on January 27, 2013.
We thought it best to compose this page after witnessing the changes in attitude of a lot of newer kayak anglers in the last few years. It seems that the more common use of “dry suits” has given people an extra special sense of reassurance to go out in all kinds of weather and take unnecessary risks. Wearing a dry suit is not a license to go out in freezing conditions, massive surf and swells and especially in Winter! At the time of writing this article (Jan 27th 2013) paddle buddy Wayne (tommo) and I went out yesterday after reading in another site about wetsuits and waders not being suitable for kayak fishing which I know is complete and utter rubbish having worn one for around 9 years safely on the sea! It also said that “waders are a non starter” and shouldn’t be worn! We went out and videoed Wayne doing a re-entry in freezing conditions in front of the local RNLI who were watching us. There’s a video too showing me in my wetsuit & Wayne re-entering his yak in 20ft of freezing water without a drop getting through!You can view the video from the nav bar link on the home page.
What wasn’t mentioned was the fact I wore my 5/3mm full titanium lined OTTER wetsuit and left the PDF in the tankwell as we both going to do re-entries and my PFD isn’t suitable for the Ultra 4.3 with it having a protruding front pocket that catches on the yak centre hatch (NOOKIE Explorer 2 on order). I didn’t do a re-entry as it was simply too cold and we just wanted to prove a point about the waders but after paddling around 100 metres my fingertips began to go numb and my jawbone was icy cold, that was after around 3 minutes on the water. However, my body was warm and I couldn’t feel the breeze at all so thermal qualities are definitely there. If I’d jumped off the yak I’d of floated like a cork and been able to re-enter the yak no problem but I’d of had to head straight back in given the harsh conditions.
Winter is a time to clean the gear off, oil reels and repair gear and the kayak. Also to rig the kayak with new gear maybe and adjust it to suit the coming season. Yes you may get the odd mild winters day to go out on the kayak to fish, maybe even just to paddle but there’s still a lot to consider prior to going out. If you do manage to get out in winter then you MUST have a paddle buddy, I cannot stress just how important this is as they could keep you alive and be more responsive than ANYONE coming to rescue you. The first thing that hits you in cold water is your body sort of retracts itself internally. Your heart protects itself by shortening the blood supply to extremities like fingers and toes and more importantly your brain! Lack of blood to the brain doesn’t need any explanation, it’s simply dangerous. Yes you can survive longer in a dry suit when submerged but your not invincible! I’ve seen lots and lots of re-entry posts in forums all around the UK with dry suits on but when I speak to people about going out on a kayak without a dry suit their reaction is shocking! “ooh no, too cold for me” or “but I’ll get wet” are most common. Now lets just think about it for a second, your going out to sea on a lump of plastic, surrounded by water using a paddle that can’t help but drip on you as you paddle in one of the worlds wettest countries and you don’t want to get wet? I think that if that’s your attitude then this sport isn’t for you! Your going to get wet at some point, especially in a dry suit as your tempted to go out in less favourable conditions so are more likely to get tipped! Just how many of you reading this have done a re-entry from a tipped yak at sea with all your gear onboard. Fancy rod leashes and expensive electrical equipment? not a lot I can tell you because you know you could get tangled under water by your line, leashes, anchor line, drogue and could also possibly lose precious reels in boxes that are now floating away in the tide and wind! Just ONE wrong movement under water, maybe a hook? punctures that dry duit and water rushes in and your done for unless you can sort it all out and climb back on immediately!
On inland waters we like to fish when nobody else is around as boats scare fish, kids playing everywhere etc so dawn & dusk are great but one issue is always overlooked and that is the fact that your alone with nobody to turn to if you tip! Yes it’s unlikely but it is possible! I’ve pulled out of a snag and nearly tipped over a few times. I’ve paddled in swells to 3ft on Coniston water, Ullswater and lock Ruddock/Tummel over the years and did a re-entry on my Scooter on Coniston once in a 2ft swell that blew me down the lake in t-shirt, shorts & PFD in July. I had a wresting match with the yak to get back on it as the wind was pushing me under the yak as it turned the yak. A wind surfer on the shore had to be held back by my wife who explained what I was doing. I got back on, paddled about 60 yards back to where I launched then did it again much to the amazement of the wind surfer who left knowing I was okay (and maybe a bit touched). So you see, inland waters can be even more dangerous as the sea! Always try to have someone to paddle with, especially in winter when there’s no-one else around if you get stuck out there.
In summary we feel that the promotion of the sport in general is heading towards “noobs” taking out other “noobs” and teaching them that it’s okay ‘cos they’ve got a dry suit and teaching them all they know ‘cos they think they know it all and it’s seriously frightening! If your going to advise people on safety then please do your research.When you go out on the water on your kayak your representing the sport and this has been somewhat pushed aside by the new era of dry suited invincible yakkers who seem to think they’re better than everyone else by going out in extreme conditions when the reality of it is, these people are not only risking their own lives but they’re damaging the sport for the rest of us!
Please think very seriously about going out in winter on your kayak. The British weather is so changeable that in winter the risks are seriously higher with hypothermia at the top of the list! I’ve always regarded winter as a time to keep warm and comfortable and as explained above sort my gear out. Why not get the shore gear out again and stay safe on your local pier etc. Leave the kayak wrapped up ready for the warmer weather!
The information given has been gathered by over 9 years of kayak fishing in all the situations possible and not “borrowed” or read on some wannabe famous yak anglers blog. Please use it to your advantage and only paddle in winter if it’s absolutely spot on out there and please DO NOT go alone!
Wow, nice read, I am one of the “noobs” as you call them only started up Kayak fishing last year and it didn’t go to well and that was in the summer. I was looking to see if it was viable to practice on my fishing kayak in the winter on some inland waterways but after reading your article I think I might rethink that idea.
It’s a shame I can’t find a decent safe water to practice on, I was hoping I could camp in the lakes and try the waters there but maybe leave it until the weather is more favourable.

What Makes Urban Fantasy Appealing?
Urban fantasy has gained an insane amount of popularity over the recent years. With over 50,000 books in the ‘Popular Urban Fantasy’ section on Goodreads, it’s clear this genre is booming. I wanted to share my thoughts on why I think this genre has become so popular. Also, what makes urban fantasy so appealing in general?
Fantasy is known to be an immersive and engaging genre. What makes fantasy so immersive? One word: imagination. Fantasy explores the wonders of imagination in ways other genres can’t. The fact that you can create an entire world filled with fictional characters is amazing! Fantasy allows our imaginations to run wild. We can immerse ourselves into completely different worlds. Using nothing but our imagination, we can create an entire life for ourselves within these worlds. The possibilities are just about endless.
The question of the hour is, what distinguishes fantasy and urban fantasy? While both do share the qualities listed above, urban fantasy has its own unique qualities. Urban fantasy has qualities that no other genre can touch upon. In this post, I will go over what separates urban fantasy from the rest.
A fantasy novel takes place in a completely fictitious world. What makes urban fantasy so interesting is the fact that it takes place in real locations around the world. The action happens in your city, street, or local library. You can walk around your city with the sense that your favorite character once walked on the spot you’re standing on. It almost feels like they are there with you.
Villains roamed the streets you roam. Ghosts hide in your favorite restaurant. You hear the clanking of epic sword fights happening right under you. A story is much more relatable with familiar elements such as streets, buildings, and signs. Seeing these familiar elements brings you closer to the action, story, and characters.
Has this ever been you? I know this has been me, and it never gets old!
Nothing is more immersive than seeing our world altered by mythical creatures and beings. We can all agree that seeing the real world transform and shatter is an entertaining experience. We see everyday people reacting to extraordinary events. We witness buildings crumble and explode. We see, flying through the sky, objects that nobody would even think to be there. Whatever may happen, it’s always interesting to see our own world from a different perspective.
Think about the movie Ghostbusters. Remember the Stay Puft marshmallow man stomping through New York City? You see residents panicking and running away. Buildings come crashing down. The classic explosion that leaves the city in ruins. All of these elements come to life right in New York.
The fact that all of the action takes place in a real location makes you wonder what it’d be like if a 100-foot marshmallow man actually came to life and started smashing everything. What would you do? How would you react? You can put yourself into the situation and see things from your own perspective. You get to work your imagination, which is never a bad thing!
We all like to escape to different worlds and imagine what our lives could be like. Sometimes we don’t want to escape to a different world, but see the one we’re living in now transform into something completely different. We all like to shake things up. Urban fantasy allows us to do just that using one tool: our imagination.
When real life and fantasy mix, the result is urban fantasy. It’s easy to imagine how such a genre became so popular. We all like to daydream about scenarios that are otherwise impossible. Some of us like to imagine life with psychic powers and abilities. Others would love to be able to communicate with the dead. People just want to immerse themselves into worlds completely thought up by the imagination. Everybody does this from time to time, even if they don’t like to admit it. Though, we can all admit that it’s lots of fun!
This sounds interesting. Nothing like some of the love triangles I've had to endure in urban fantasy.
It is a great book cover and, I enjoyed the book description.
Cover art is fine. Interesting description. Thanks and congrats.

Primark has withdrawn a £5 Christmas candle from sale over fire safety fears.
The retailer, which has a branch in Plymouth’s Drake Circus, has stopped selling the silver glitter Christmas Tree candle after a woman posted on Facebook that it had burst into flames.
Jenny Ferneyhough took to the social media site to warn others about the incident. She has also contacted the store.
Her post has already been shared 90,000 times and has had thousands of likes.
A Primark spokesman said: “We take safety of our customers and quality of our products very seriously.
Ms Ferneyhough, from Manchester, said: “It had been burning a couple of hours before it did that.
“We blew it out and then lit it again but it happened another three or four times.
“We thought that the further it got from the outside of the candle, to the wider part of it, that would be fine.
Ms Ferneyhough said the whole top of the candle was on fire.
She added: “We were both in the room when it happened but it could have easily caught fire to something if we hadn’t been and had not noticed.
“Especially at Christmas time with all the decorations around, our whole fireplace could have gone up.

Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department – 4th District Investigative Section have arrested and charged Jalen Christopher Marshall, age 25, of the 13500 block of Montvale Drive in Silver Spring, with the first-degree assault of his 72-year-old grandfather. After assaulting his grandfather, Marshall barricaded himself inside the family’s residence and after approximately five hours of negotiations, Emergency Response Team (ERT) officers forced entry into the home and arrested him.
This morning at approximately 9:05, officers were called to a residence in the 13500 block of Montvale Drive for the report of domestic violence. Upon responding to the home, officers were met with the 72-year-old victim, who had lacerations to his face. Marshall, the victim’s grandson, was in the home. When officers attempted to make contact with Marshall, he exited the home carrying what appeared to be a long rifle and then reentered the home. (Officers located this weapon during a search of the home and determined that the long barrel replica firearm was a pellet gun. See photo below). Marshall exited and reentered the home several times carrying the rifle. He told officers that he was going to drink bleach. Emergency Response Team (ERT) officers were called to the scene to begin negotiations in an attempt to have Marshall exit the home peacefully.
While officers were trying to communicate with Marshall, the victim explained to investigators that Marshall, who lives with him and his wife (Marshall’s grandmother), had been acting strangely the past several days. This morning, as the victim was in the kitchen and Marshall was upstairs, the victim heard a loud commotion coming from the upstairs. Marshall came downstairs into the kitchen and began yelling at his grandfather. Marshall punched his grandfather and pushed him to the ground. While the victim was still on the ground, Marshall struck the victim’s face with a dining room chair. The victim attempted to call 911 and run away but Marshall pushed him down again. The victim was able to escape to the outside of the home as Marshall pursued him. As the victim continued to attempt to get away, Marshall took a machete that he had in his vehicle and attempted to strike the victim.
The victim ran to a neighbor who was outside and the neighbor called 911. Marshall ran back into the residence.
Shortly before 2:00 p.m., officers forced entry into the home and arrested Marshall. Marshall had used furniture to barricade himself inside of the home. During a search of the home, investigators located an approximately three-foot sword and the replica long gun that Marshall was carrying when he exited the home on several occasions (see photo below).
Marshall was transported to the Central Processing Unit and charged with first-degree and second-degree assault. The grandfather was transported by Fire & Rescue personnel to a local hospital for medical treatment.

A £5.45 billion local public health budget, which will be ring-fenced for two years, has been announced by the health secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Following advice from the independent Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation group, funding will be specifically targeted at areas with the worst health outcomes. The government says that ring-fencing the budget for two years will give local authorities a clearer long-term understanding of their future funding as they prepare to take on their new responsibilities from April of taking the lead for improving the health of their local communities.

Back in the day, we used to seek caves which had hot springs in them. We’d immerse ourselves in the water on certain substances and experience many different types of altered states of consciousness. I, personally, never experienced a bad trip doing this but I think it’s possible so one should be psychically prepared for such an experience and being anti-fragile does help in that regards to a certain extent–or so I would think. There’s also something womb-like to this experience and it’s quite comforting.
I’ve taught myself a bathtub meditation which mimics this experience and although one won’t get transported to Alpha Centauri it does help in calming, quieting the mind while bringing one into presence, and helps ease anxiety to certain degrees.
So…fill your tub and add anything you like to the water–essential oils or salts and candles are cool, too. Lay with your back and spine as level as possible with your eyes eventually focused straight in front of you and not up–also find a spot in front of you to focus on. Have your knees bent and I like to put my feet on the upper surface of the front of the tub so that my knees are elevated with the knees about 6-inches apart ( my feet are also about 6-inches above the base of the tub) and pointing to the ceiling. Now put your thumbs together directly in front of your eyes with your fingers pointing upwards so that your two hands form a pyramid shape. Your eyes when looking through your hands should see the pyramid and you should also see the solar cross if you adjust your knees and hands accordingly–this cross also looks like a Christmas angel. I should note that to me this is in no way sun worship. These are simply the geometric shapes which form when laying in this position. Now I just focus my attention through my hands at the previously mentioned focal point in front of me. Concentrating on the breath or counting breaths is also helpful. And Voila, I come out of this experience in an ultra-relaxed state of being.
A word on cults: inner strength and intestinal fortitude cannot be gained via the cult ethos and structure. True strength comes from within and doesn’t need exterior validation. I’ve mentioned this before but I reject the Nietzschean will to power as being ‘the thing in itself’ which doesn’t exist in this ‘darkened womb’ and this explains why this particular mode of thinking so often leads to tragedy–humans are not Gods and never can be in the sense of what is being espoused in these philosophies. I also reject universal cosmological declarations based solely on the meditative experiences. Moreover, cults reject dialogue and only pontificate dogmatically while doing everything possible to defend the deluded worldview usually demonizing those who are critical of the cult.
A thought on Season 2’s Penny Dreadful: the most interesting scene to me was when the old Jewish scholar was talking to the head witch and they are talking about God and he says many say God is found within (assumably because God isn’t found anywhere else/the death of God) and the witch replies, “they’re wrong”…This is interesting from my idiosyncratic Gnostic view and goes to the aphorism above. IF we are the result of Elohim archons then we may very well be ‘good Godless’ here. Our situation is far worse than normatively imagined but things could also be far better as The Lighted Womb really does exist. If this were true then humanities destiny/ies (recurring civilizations brought about by cataclysm) is in the hands of the Gods. FWIW: THE GOLDEN RULE practiced as I understand it (non-necessary exploitation or coercion of other lifeforms, humans, and resources) is our only hope of escape as one cannot be taken to The Lighted Womb while practicing such behavior. DO YOU SEE WHY OUR PRESENT FINANCIAL SYSTEMS ARE ALL EXTRAORDINARY EXPLOITATIVE AND COERCIVE?

The Difference Collection was designed to avoid any pressure behind the horses ears, which is a particularly sensitive area, especially on some horses. It is noticeable that the pressure from a regular headpiece can create real discomfort for some horses which results in communication problems between horse and rider. Thanks to the exclusive shape of the headpiece and the crossed throat latch, this bridle stays behind the neuralgic Center and relieves the most sensitive horses.

When I consider the grace of God, I usually think of the merciful, forgiving, generous love of God freely shared with my sinful, imperfect self. But on Sunday, Pastor Mike* reminded me of another grace: God’s sanctifying grace. We are already loved by God, and we never will be perfect. But the sanctifying grace of God continues to work on us; this grace draws us closer to God’s ways and will, helps us to grow as followers of Christ, and works to perfect us in every way. We are actually freed in a new way when we embrace the insightful, challenging, revealing, humbling, and sometimes painful corrections and callings of God.
These days I sense that God is challenging me to simply do the next right thing. The next good thing. No matter what. I am called to do what good I can, but entrust the results to God. This challenges me because I want to know that any of my kind words or generous actions are actually making a difference! If I am honest, it seems that I’d like to be rewarded in some way for any good I am able to do. Even if the reward is just to see what good I may have done, the small difference I may have made. So I sense God is asking me to surrender my need to see results and my need to know I’ve made a difference, and to simply do good… for goodness’ sake.
I am called to do these things, just because they are the right, good, and faithful things to do. I am called to obediently and humbly welcome God’s sanctifying grace and to keep allowing God to instruct and teach me. I am called to surrender my need for results, recognition or reward. I am called to simply do good for goodness’ sake.
* You can hear this inspirational sermon message about grace at the St. John website: http://www.sjumcwv.org/media; “It’s All About Grace,” June 25th, 2017. Read Romans 6:12-23 for the Bible passage. The actual message begins at 13:47.

This is an important first step in hiring a freelance drone pilot. There are different requirements for professional drones than there are for hobbyists. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure that a freelancer working with your business is certified to operate commercially in your jurisdiction. In order to fly commercially in the U.S., a pilot must obtain a remote pilot certificate from the FAA. This certificate proves that the operator has passed a test that covers the legal and safety requirements for flying drones. Someone who has passed this test cannot claim ignorance on matters of airspace restrictions, and has at least a baseline knowledge of safety protocols.
General liability insurance is a must when operating a drone commercially. Not only is it a sign that the freelance pilot is a professional, but it also indicates that the contractor is committed to best practices and has gone through the process of proving the safety of their operations to an insurer. In order to get the best rates, the freelance pilot should develop a robust safety protocol and a thorough general operating manual. Not to mention, it absolves the broadcast company of potential liability for damages to a third party in the unlikely event of a crash or accident.
Since drones are a relatively new addition to the media toolkit, it may be difficult to find freelancers with an extensive portfolio. Nevertheless, their capabilities should not just exist in theory; they should be proven with high-quality footage and many hours of flight time. Requesting drone footage clips will provide the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the pilot’s work and allow the employer to see if the freelancer can fly with smooth movements, which ultimately results in higher quality footage and safer flights. You should also make sure the pilot isn’t flying too high and that he/she can track an object on the ground. This is especially important in the news industry because unlike construction or engineering, you often can’t go back to get that aerial footage of a breaking story.
When your pilots submit footage, either as part of the interview process or for an actual story, ask them for a flight plan, some coordinates, or even a nearby landmark. Simply plug that information into a validated, updated airspace map, and you can see whether the flight was performed within the bounds of the law. Of course, sometimes you can tell simply by looking at the footage that it was obtained illegally. If the flight was performed at night, or over crowds of people, or it shows a major airport, then odds are (unless the pilot obtained a waiver from the FAA) that you shouldn’t work with that freelancer.

XnView is quite a versatile image organizer which supports hundreds of file formats. As such, photo management is what it's best known for. However, one of its least known features is that of a duplicate image finder, or more accurately, Find/Search Similar Files as the developer puts it.
Unlike some other free duplicate finders that rely on just file names and file attributes (extension/format, creation/modification dates etc.) on finding duplicates, XnView goes a step further by looking in the file data and picture content.
I presume the former compares image metadata, dimensions, CRC32 checksum etc. while picture content compares the actual visual data (i.e. visual similarity as one does with eyes).
While the software is quite good at finding duplicates, it comes with one major downside: the deletion process is entirely manual in that you've to delete the duplicates one by one.
This is a small issue for those working with small collection of images however for large collections this may prove daunting.
To find duplicates using XnView or XnViewMP do the following.
1. If you haven't yet installed XnView, you can get if from the official page here.
It's available on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and comes in two flavours XnView (Classic) and XnView MP (Multi-platform) which are almost identical in features though the latter supposedly has better performance. A portable version is also available for those on Windows.
I'll be using XnViewMP for the purpose of this tutorial - it's image compare implementation is more intuitive than the one in the classic version.
2. Run the software and in the toolbar select Tools then Search similar files... or Find similar files... in the classic version.
3. That should open a small window to add the files to compare. You can add images using the Add files... button or folders containing the images using the Add folder... button.
4. Below it select the method/algorithm to use to find the duplicates then select OK.
Use Same filename if you're comparing images that use a similar file pattern or that are contained in different folders. For better accuracy however, use Same file data which is more accurate and relatively fast.
If that doesn't yield results you can try the last option Similar picture content which is more accurate but slower.
5. Give it some time and that should open a results Window with the duplicates it has found along with a summary of the similar data. You can also visually inspect the two images here (e.g. by zooming) should you want.
6. To delete the duplicate, you can click on the delete icon beneath the two preview pictures. If you've more than one duplicate, you can also right-click the duplicates in the results and select Delete file.
To change the picture that is used as the original (reference), right-click it and select Use as Reference. You can then select the duplicate and delete it.
On the other hand, if you don't want to delete the file, you've the option to copy or move the file to another folder using the icons beside the delete icon or from the right-click menu shown above.

There are so many wonderful benefits that can be felt once you start introducing superfood powders to your diet, and there’s no need to wait and wonder about the ones you’ve never tried as it’s easier than ever to buy superfood online, particularly with sites like Detox Trading. The following three have been selected as they have the power to propel you through a cold January and leave you feeling energised and nourished.
Camu Camu powder is a powdered form of the Camu berry, a Brazilian superfruit. This wonderful tasting powder packs sixty times more vitamin C per serving than an orange. It contains up to 1180% of your recommended daily allowance of this important vitamin per single teaspoon. There’s no better time to top up on vitamin C than in winter, and especially after the Christmas and New Year festivities in which your health may have taken a back seat. Moreover, the taste of this pink powder is deliciously sweet and sour like sherbert, making it easy to keep your levels topped up. For more info on camu camu powder, check out this video.
Another fabulous tasting natural product, bee pollen has, historically, been used for many ailments – from improving intestinal health to restoring blood cells – but it also provides considerable protein, B vitamins, vitamin E, fatty acids and amino acids amongst other nutrients. In fact, bee pollen has been called a ‘complete food’ due to the mighty nutritional punch it packs, which is great for giving you a boost and seeing you safely through winter.
Finally, a warming and flavoursome spice with medicinal benefits that have been recognised in Asian cultures for centuries.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful compound which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Curcumin is best absorbed by the body alongside fat, so to get the full benefits of turmeric you can add it to an oily snack or whip up a turmeric ‘latte’, using nut ‘milk’ and adding cinnamon for a gorgeous sweetness. It could also pay to add a sprinkle of black pepper, not only for the warming effect but also because it contains the compound piperine which aids the absorption of curcumin.
With these three superfoods, you’ll beat those January blues in no time!

Sutro Antibody Effectively Targets CD74 in Lymphoma & Multiple Myeloma Preclinical Studies | Sutro Biopharma, Inc.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, December 12, 2017 — Two studies presented yesterday at the American Society of Hematology’s annual meeting in Atlanta showed frequent expression of CD74, a cell-surface protein in hematologic B-cell malignancies, in both heavily-pretreated and never-treated multiple myeloma and in three major types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The studies were performed using the unconjugated antibody from STRO-001, a CD74-targeting antibody drug conjugate developed by Sutro Biopharma.
Additionally, STRO-001 demonstrated potent in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo antitumor activity in multiple B-cell tumor cell lines and xenograft models.
Sutro plans to submit an investigational new drug application by the end of 2017 and to launch a Phase 1 clinical trial in the first quarter of 2018 to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of STRO-001 in patients with multiple myeloma and aggressive and indolent, or slow-growing, lymphomas.
Both of the studies presented yesterday used immunohistochemistry to measure CD74 expression by examining the Sutro antibody’s CD74-binding capacity in tissue samples from patients with multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
In the first study, Sutro’s research collaborators, led by Dr. Arun Wiita , an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of California at San Francisco, examined bone marrow samples from multiple myeloma patients and found that the Sutro antibody detected CD74 expression in 35 of the 36 samples, including specimens from patients who were treatment-naïve and patients who had been heavily pretreated with chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. CD74 expression levels were determined to be similar in samples from both newly-diagnosed as well as relapsed or refractory patients. Two pathologists blinded to the patients’ clinical histories and pathology results independently reviewed the specimens.
In the same poster presentation at the ASH meeting, Sutro also presented data showing that STRO-001 demonstrates potent in vitro cytotoxicity in four multiple myeloma cell lines and reduces tumor burden in two disseminated xenograft models, including prolongation of survival in the MM.1S model.
In the second study, Sutro’s research collaborators, led by Dr. Yaso Natkunam professor of pathology and director of hematopathology at Stanford University School of Medicine, examined human tissue samples of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and found that CD74 was highly-expressed in most samples from patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (135 out of 140, or 96%), follicular lymphoma (148/151, 98%) and mantle cell lymphoma (19/21, 91%).
In the same oral presentation, Sutro discussed data showing that STRO-001 exhibits potent in vitro cytotoxicity in multiple lymphoma cell lines and anti-tumor activity in germinal center B-cell–like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, activated B-cell–like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma xenograft models. STRO-001 prolonged survival in the disseminated Mino mantle cell lymphoma model.
“There’s a critical need for new, highly-targeted therapy with better tolerability for both multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” Sutro CEO Bill Newell observed.
“STRO-001 was developed with Sutro’s proprietary cell-free protein synthesis and site-specific conjugation platforms, which facilitate multiple rounds of antibody and ADC optimization,” said Dr. Arturo Molina, a medical oncologist and Sutro’s Chief Medical Officer.
“Sutro’s XpressCF+TM platform enables us to produce novel ADCs that directly target cancer cells with a homogeneous payload, thus delivering the optimum dose of cytotoxin to the tumor every time,” Dr. Molina added.
Unlike conventional cell-based expression systems, Sutro’s technology isolates a cell’s protein production machinery into a cell-free extract, XtractCF™, which includes all the necessary biochemical components for energy production, transcription and translation to generate aglycosylated homogeneous antibodies.
The XpressCF+™ platform allows the incorporation of non-natural amino acids into specific positions on the generated antibody, allowing for site-specific conjugation of cytotoxins with a linker and warhead to enable consistent, stable, well-defined pinpoint placement of STRO-001’s toxic payload. By contrast, many earlier, first-generation ADCs have toxic warheads attached at varying positions, resulting in products with unpredictable and sub-optimal pharmacologic properties, stability and efficacy.
Sutro’s technology enables the company to iteratively discover and test molecules in a rapid cycle of weeks rather than months to rapidly identify the optimal molecule designed for safety and potency.
Sutro’s manufacturing center in San Carlos, California, the world’s only cGMP cell-free manufacturing facility, is built to maximize the speed and efficiency of cell-free extract and protein production. The cell-free extract is manufactured by a multi-day continuous process producing extract for large scale XpressCF™ and XpressCF+™ reactions.
This past October, Sutro received a manufacturing milestone payment from Celgene for completing production of STRO-001.
Sutro’s approach to discovery, without the cell, is also transcending the limitations of biologics manufacturing. Sutro’s state-of- the-art manufacturing facility confers an important competitive advantage as Sutro heads into human clinical trials in 2018. In addition to developing its own oncology pipeline, Sutro Biopharma is collaborating with select pharmaceutical and biotech companies to discover and develop novel, next generation therapeutics. As the pace of clinical development accelerates, Sutro and its partners are demonstrating a more efficient approach to killing tumors without harming healthy cells.

Radio stations often think about using social media as a tool to reach listeners, but it’s also a great way to reach other leaders in your market who can in turn reach your listeners. We call these people “influencers” — the folks who have a large following of their own that overlaps with your station’s fanbase. They can help your radio station amplify its message and reach more people.
I’ve written about engaging with influencers before, especially as part of the launch of a new radio morning show. But I want to take a closer look at how you can use Twitter in particular to engage with these leaders in your community. While Facebook is a fantastic tool for engaging with your station’s audience at large, I find Twitter to be more effective with influencers.
1. Identify key topic areas for your radio station.
2. Brainstorm a list of related influencers in your market.
3. Start a shared spreadsheet.
You may want to install an extension for your web browser that allows you to quickly open multiple links. For example, I use the Bulk URL Opener extension on my Chrome browser. When I want to open the Twitter page of every ‘Sports’ influencer on my list, I sort it by category, select and copy the Twitter URLs, click the Bulk URL Opener button, and paste the URLs in. Boom! I have each influencer’s Twitter page open in a different browser tab.
4. Divide your influencers into Twitter lists.
Create a Twitter list for each category of influencers. To do this, first follow the influencer by clicking the ‘Follow’ button. Then, click the three small dots next to the ‘Follow’ button and select “Add or remove from lists” from the dropdown menu. You can add the influencer to an existing Twitter list or create a new one.
5. Follow these lists in a social media management app.
I recommend using a social media management app like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck. These make it much easier to use social networks — especially Twitter.
I use Hootsuite to manage my social media. I create a tab for “Twitter Lists” and on that tab, I create a stream (column) for each of my lists. This allows me to quickly and easily scan the stream and see what all of my influencers are tweeting about.
6. Retweet the best tweets from these influencers.
On a daily basis, spend a few minutes perusing the lists in your social media management app. Look for the best tweets from your influencers and retweet them. These influencers will notice that you shared their tweets and it will build goodwill with them.
The advantage of dividing your influencers into lists by category is that this allows you to make sure that you are tweeting about the right topics in the right ratios. You don’t want to go overboard on ‘Science Fiction,’ or ignore ‘Sports.’ Having the lists in different columns can help you avoid these issues.
7. Use #FollowFriday to give your influencers a shoutout.
Follow Friday is a popular meme on Twitter. Every Friday, Twitter users show appreciation for other Twitter users by listing them in a tweet with the hashtag ‘#FollowFriday’ or ‘#FF.’ It’s a nice way to give a shoutout to others. Acknowledge your influencers with this hashtag and they’ll appreciate it.
8. Share your influencers’ content and tag them in the tweets.
If your influencers create content, such as columns, blogposts, videos or podcast episodes, share a link to that content over Twitter. Be sure to tag the influencer in your tweet by including their Twitter handle so they notice.
At Jacobs Media, I frequently share posts from Alan Cross’ wonderful blog, A Journal of Musical Things! When I do, I always include ‘@alancross‘ in the tweet because I want him to know that we’re giving him some love.
9. Share your radio station’s content and tag the relevant influencers in the tweets.
When sharing your radio station’s website content on Twitter, include the Twitter handle of the appropriate influencers in the tweet. Be careful not to tag influencers who aren’t relevant. When sharing your blogpost about last night’s Cage the Elephant show, you should tag the concert venue but not the quarterback of the college football team. Hopefully, they will retweet the station, passing your content along to their followers and increasing your website traffic.
When it comes to social media, don’t think of it as just a way to reach listeners. It’s also a great tool for connecting with other leaders in the community — especially on Twitter.

I have been experiencing that any changes in the networking of OneView Appliance (running 4.10.01) is triggering a "reset" of the certificate.
Change the DNS, the Subnetmask, what ever ... and the VALID custom certificate is replaced by a self signed one !
Another request regarding Certificate. I uploaded in Manage certificates a valid certificate that include the CRL url, which is reachable by the oneview appliance. But OneView seems to ignore it completely and only offer to upload a CRL.
Can some one help me or repport this bug.
If the appliance hostname or IP address change, CA signed certificate if any on the appliance would be replaced by a self-signed certificate. The rationale being the hostname or IP address are typically included in the certificate Subject and/or SAN fields. For change in subnet mask, gateway, DNS servers - will check. What version of OneView are you using?
For CRLs, you are right, there is no automatic extraction of the CRL from the CRL DP URL specified in the CA certificate.
You need to manually upload the CRL file and keep it refreshed.
However, we do have two variants of scripts based on python / powershell that you could use.
There is a readme file that describes how to use the script.
It can be scheduled on a Windows or a Linux machine outside the OneView appliance to keep CRLs on the appliance updated.
It works with CRLs that have expired on the appliance and updates them.
The automatic CRL update - likely to appear in a future release.
Noticed you have mentioned version as 4.10.01, thanks.
You are right, just verified. Acknolwedge the defect.
We'll take this up to address in a future release of OneView.
Thank you for notifying us about this.
It does not answer, however, why the hell they cannot download the CRL themselves from a CDP. Just like any other PKI participant does.
Moreover, it looks like they can do this for pre-installed certificates (e.g. Symantec) but not for others.I understand that you cannot locate the CDP by just looking at the CA certificate. That’s normal and that’s by design. However, normally you should be able to locate the CDP by looking at any certificate issues by such CA—e.g. when you perform validation of this certificate.
You are right. It is doable but non-trivial.
The CRL that needs to be fetched to check for revocation of a device certificate is not the one specified in the CA cert that signed the device certificate but the CRL DP URL that is present in the actual device certificate that is being fetched. The CRL URL specified in the CA's certificate only helps check for revocation of the CA cert itself, not the device cert that the CA signed. As a result, a little more involved than a straight forward fetch the CRL from the URL.
Having said this, it is an inconvenience and we are working on improving it.
Thank you for your candid feedback.
I have been encountering that any adjustments in the systems administration of OneView Appliance (running 4.10.01) is setting off a "reset" of the authentication.
Change the DNS, the Subnetmask, what ever ... furthermore, the VALID custom authentication is supplanted by a self marked one !
CA signed certificate on the appliance being replaced by the self-signed certiicate, is that correct?
Same issue as noted by @PhS- at the beginning of this thread.

In the autumn issue of the Estonian Literary Magazine Vahur Afanasjev discusses our place in the world and talks about life in Peipsiveer, Viivi Luik explains why it’s good to leave Estonia for a while, Hasso Krull delves into the poetics of Aare Pilv’s clouds and Maarja Kangro analyzes the essence of the prize frenzy. There is also a new column in ELM, “A Perfect Day”, and the author of the opening text is Eva Koff. The English-language literary magazine of the Estonian Institute introduces Estonian literature at the book fairs in Göteborg, Frankfurt and Turku, and is also available to anyone who is interested. In addition, the magazine can now be read on the fresh website elm.estinst.ee.
“Rebirth, resurrection, nirvana – religion offers many opportunities to believe there’s something greater, something more beautiful, something purer than man. That something lies beyond earthly life and human intelligence, but at the same time is something towards which one can advance and, perhaps, even reach if he tries hard enough. Still, the person is most important of all. […] I have one life and one death. It’s a heavy thought, but it makes it that much clearer how much you must care for yourself and others,” says Vahur Afanasjev in an interview to Holger Kaints.
In addition, Adam Cullen looks back at the EstLitFest held in London in spring, Kadri Hinrikus talks about the umwelt of children and rejoicing about what we have, and Mihkel Seeder gives an overview of the latest Estonian dramatic literature. Finally, there are, of course, book reviews.
In Estonia, the ELM can be found from the larger libraries and bookstores, Krisostomus (Raekoja plats 11) in Tartu, Puänt (Telliskivi 60a/1) and the Estonian Institute’s office (Suur-Karja 14) in Tallinn.
The Estonian Literary Magazine is published since 1995, the publication of the magazine is supported by the Estonian Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Endowment of Estonia. The editor of the magazine is Berit Kaschan.

We offer you options tailored to each age group according to the destination and the language.
These courses for very young children provide the right environment to stimulate an interest for foreign languages. A fun approach to the language is combined with a large number of activities. The motto is to learn while having fun! Everything is supervised by teachers or sports instructors.
Juniors learn to integrate into a group made up of pupils from around the world and take language courses with other international students. The learning experience is always fun and varied. The extracurricular activities offered in schools add to the learning process by providing further practice of the language.
Teenagers develop their linguistic knowledge and can develop in an international context. The activities organised by the school both after class and during the weekend give them an opportunity to meet up together and practise the language in a relaxed atmosphere with young people of the same age while being supervised by responsible adults. In some schools, 13 to 17 year olds can sign up for intensive courses, which considerably accelerate the learning process and lead to rapid progress.
Within our family language studies abroad programmes' framework, adults can choose the courses which suit them from the options offered by our partner schools.
20 hours of classes a week, which generally take place in the morning. This allows you to follow a programme of activities offered by the school, to explore where you are staying on your own or to meet up with the children and enjoy some free time together.
The intensive course consists of 25 to 30 lessons a week, some of which take place in the afternoon. The learning experience, as for the standard course, is communication orientated. In the afternoon, the programme offers conversation classes or a choice of topics. It is ideal for making rapid progress.
Please note that certain lessons on the intensive course take place in the afternoon and may not coordinate with having to meet up with children in the afternoon.
You develop your level of language, your ease of expression in professional life and the acquisition of language skills for your work. This programme is combined with the general language course.
You benefit from private teaching tailored to your individual needs. The teacher is at your disposal and you learn what you really need to know and develop at your own pace. For this, your timetable is arranged according to your own availability.

For The First Time, Majority Of Americans See Cuba Favorably In Poll : The Two-Way Gallup says that for the first time since it started asking Americans about Cuba back in 1996, a majority now see the country in a favorable light.
For the first time since Gallup started asking the question, 54 percent of Americans said they see Cuba favorably. Here, an old American car passes by the U.S. Embassy in Havana on Dec. 17, when the United States announced a plan to resume regular flights to and from Cuba.
Reflecting a move of 33 percentage points in the past 10 years, a majority of Americans — 54 percent — currently see Cuba in a favorable light, according to Gallup. The nation's favorability rating went up across the U.S. political spectrum, but by far the biggest gain was among Democrats.
A "strong majority" of Republicans still view Cuba unfavorably, Gallup says, with only 34 percent seeing Cuba favorably compared to 73 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of independents.
"During the past few years, Americans' opinions about Cuba have become sharply polarized by political party," Gallup's Jim Norman writes, "with the Democrat-Republican gap in favorability more than doubling in the last two years — from 17 points in 2014 to 39 points today."
But because of the gains, Gallup says that for the first time since it started asking Americans about Cuba back in 1996, a majority now see the country in a favorable light.
When Gallup first asked Americans about their view of Cuba back in 1996, only 10 percent said they saw the country favorably. Today, 54 percent say they view Cuba in a favorable light.
The news comes as the relationship between Cuba and the U.S. continues to thaw.
On Tuesday, American and Cuban officials "will sign a civil aviation agreement in Havana ... re-establishing air service between the two countries for the first time in decades," as Laura recently reported for the Two-Way.
And on Sunday, Rodrigo Malmierca, Cuba's minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, arrived in Washington to discuss business opportunities and other issues with U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, Cuba's Granma news service reports.
The poll is based on a survey of a random sample of 1,021 adults aged 18 and older in all 50 states, Gallup says. Taken from Feb. 3-7, the poll has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Life is always so busy! The To Do List never seems to be totally checked off. Who has time to take a day off anyhow. I don’t know about you but sometimes I want to ignore my Planner just for a little while so I can get a break from all the items that need to get finished today. Wonder if God could add a 25th hour to the day to help us out?
So what is one to do? Is it possible to slow down at some point, somehow?
I think so. There must be a way to take the time and rest, to have a Sabbath. Work, busyness cannot be all there is in life.
Towards the end of last year I took some time to see what gives me energy. I asked myself what did I like to do in my spare time. How would I spend the ‘perfect day’? There is it was, four things I love to do, things that refresh me when life can get stressful.
Hence WARD was formed. For me, spending time in each of these 4 areas is refreshing. It is like plugging myself into a wall socket getting my batteries recharged. At some point each day I spend time with each one. Whether it is writing in my journal or another blog. Or going for a run with Puppy or a bike ride with friends. Or finishing the library book or starting a new one. Or sitting quietly with my Bible listening to the Holy Spirit.
What gives you energy? Doodling? Sewing? Crafting? Playing sports? Woodworking? When can you make the time to recharge your batteries each day?
Life can be super busy and before we know it time has flown by. Without making the time to enjoy ourselves with friends and family, recharging our batteries. I challenge you to make a list of 2-3 things you love doing and find time each day to do them. It can be as little as 30 minutes but it will be a rest-filled 30 minutes.
Since starting to WARD off the busyness of life I have found more contentment. Oh, don’t worry the stress of life is still there. Worry still tries to creep in. But I am able to stave it off better, more consistently. My journals are filling up nicely. The pile of books I’ve been meaning to read is getting worked through. My run times are getting faster in pace (and Puppy is excited each day to go out). The Holy Spirit is teaching me pretty cool things about myself and faith.
What are your 2-3 things which recharge your batteries?
When during the day can you put them on the schedule?

Firefighters from Eastern and Southern area commands battled a raging fire at a scrap metal recycling plant throughout the night.
The were working at the Co Down site from just after midnight on Wednesday right through into Thursday.
NIFRS East shared details of its work on the blaze.
They said: "During the week crews from Eastern Area Command and Southern Area Command worked hard all night to bring a large fire in a scrap metal recycling plant under control near Seaforde County Down.
"Well done to all crews involved."
Group area commander William Johnston said the fire took hold at premises off Farranfad Road in Seaforde, where a family owned scrap metal firm founded in the 1920s is based.
"There were crews from southern and eastern and they worked right through the night," he added.
An aerial appliance was also brought in to help tackle the blaze.

It came after Chelsea refused to deal with Tottenham over a potential loan deal for the Belgium striker.
Reportedly they were asking for £2 million for a loan fee from all teams but Spurs, who were linked with him too, were being quoted £8 million because of the rivalry between the two sides. If he was to go to Everton, that would have to be a permanent deal.
"Now, a big, big development as well in the last few minutes because we have been told that talks have also been held with Spurs about Michy Batshuayi moving on loan to Spurs".
And now that Maurizio Sarri has signed Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus, Michy Batshuayi has no possible future at Stamford Bridge.
It is hard to know whether to admire the Belgian for his bravery at demanding such excessive wages, or cry at the belief that he thinks he warrants that sort of pay packet, but at this stage it looks as though he could be staying at Chelsea.

Hayden and his team were outstanding. They arrived on time, worked all the way through and finished on schedule. They even waited until they'd done a couple of hours work before they accepted a cuppa! They were polite, tidy and a pleasure to deal with. Would have no issue recommending them to others.
Excellent job done, by extremely nice and pleasant workforce.
Everything went smoothly from quotation to starting and finishing the work on time.All rubble was cleaned up and taken away as promised. I would certainly recommend them.
Arrived on time and carried out required work in a timely manner. As this was to fix a serious leak, A&A had already made a temporary repair to stop further damage without prompting from the customer.
Excellent job by Armstrong roofing! I had many issues with other contractors . Armstrong roofing resolved all the problems with my flat roof. Very professional service. Quick, helpful giving honest advice. Armstrong roofing saved the day ! Would highly recommend this company.
I contacted Hayden at Armstrong and Armstrong who came to give me a quote for sorting my roof problem. He gave me quotes for two ways I wanted costing.He explained fully the difference between the two quotes.I went with his suggestion and am very glad I did.A real professional and very good to deal with.Thank you Hayden for a quality job.
Wooden fascia replaced by side of garage removed some of the roofing felt that covered fascia and replaced accordingly. Immaculate quality of work, good customer service.
Great service. Knowledgeable and efficient. Were able to fix broken roof tiles as well as replace old guttering and identified what the problem with a faulty gutter was caused by. Highly recommended.

Bostadssektorn svarar för en betydande del av landets totala miljöpåverkan, men det finns stor potential till förbättringar. Sektorn står inför ett omfattande renoveringsbehov, vilket skapar goda förutsättningar för sociala och miljöförbättrande åtgärder. För att lyckas krävs det bland annat strukturerade arbetsmetoder med väl uppsatta miljö- och hållbarhetsmål som följs genom hela renoveringsprocessen. Ett kritiskt läge är processens slutskede när renoveringsåtgärderna är färdigställda och byggnaden lämnas över till förvaltaren. Syftet med denna studie är därför att dels utvärdera hur dagens hållbarhetsstyrning fungerar i renoveringsprocessens sista skeden, samt att ge förslag på metoder som säkerställer att hållbarhetsfrågor och hållbarhetsmål följs upp och fortskrider in i förvaltningen samt håller över tid.
Intervjuer med elva företagsrepresentanter från nio fastighetsbolag och två representanter från en bransch- och intresseorganisation tillsammans med litteraturstudier är de metoder som använts i studien.
Resultatet visar att det finns brister i dagens hållbarhetsstyrning vid överlämning, uppföljning, erfarenhetsåterföring och förvaltning. Det handlar främst om att projektspecifika miljömål inte fortskrider in i förvaltningen samt att rutiner för erfarenhetsåterföring och uppföljning är bristfälliga. Det finns omständigheter och svårigheter som står i vägen för en ambitiösare hållbarhetsstyrning i renoveringsprocessens slutskede. Dessa är identifierade som tekniska, sociala, ekonomiska, administrativa, organisatoriska och psykologiska barriärer. Dock finns det förbättringsmöjligheter för att minimera eller få kontroll över dessa hinder, vilka främst handlar om nya metoder och bättre strukturer.
Utifrån studiens resultat och slutsatser har en hållbarhetsmanual skapats för att underlätta för berörda aktörer att prioritera och styra hållbarhetsarbetet i renoveringsprocessens slutskede på ett bra sätt där hållbarhetsmål följs upp och fortskrider in i förvaltningen samt håller över tid.
In 2015 the 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by 193 member states of the United Nations. The SDGs are highly ambitious and their underlying processes are interconnected by causal relationships. Work towards fulfilling them therefore requires considering how solutions for one goal will impacts others. In this study target-oriented backcasting is applied to examine set goals in the future, as well as to determine the current state and trends of development. This is done in an effort to determine conflicts between targets and resource limitations of future development. The findings suggest that the current paradigm of giving GDP growth highest societal priority, leads to a causal relationship where development occurs at the expense of sustainability at the global level. In order to overcome this, the fulfilment of the SDGs has to be given higher priority than the size and growth rate of the GDP.
Considering the immense problem of chemical pollution worldwide, there is a great need for methods that can be used to calculate indicators of chemical footprints. Such indicators can be calculated for products and services using life cycle assessment (LCA), but also for whole nations. Indicators of natio- nal chemical footprints may include emissions within the nation’s borders only, or also emissions related to consumption (thus having a life cycle perspective). A limited number of studies (< 5) have attempted to calculate indicators of national chemical footprints using the USEtox consensus model for toxicity impact assessment in LCA. One of these is our calculation of indicators of a national chemical footprint for Sweden. Two other studies have made similar assessments for Europe. Using the national perspective of these studies enables a rough validation of USEtox results, since the indicators of national chemiABSTRACTS 62 63 cal footprint based on USEtox can be compared to non-LCA toxicity assessments done on national levels. Such validations are not possible for LCA studies of single products. Notably, the results of existing assessments of indicators of national chemical footprints, including our Swedish study, all pinpoint zinc as the dominating substance. Zinc typically accounts for >50% of the toxicity impacts for both ecotoxicity and human toxicity. For ecotoxicity, this is not unreasonable considering the notable toxicity of zinc to aquatic organisms. For human toxicity, this result is more surprising. Zinc is an essential trace element for humans that many take as a dietary supplement to prevent zinc deficiency. Non-LCA sources describe zinc as “relatively harmless” to human health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) does not list zinc among the top ten chemicals of major public health concern, although there are other metals on the list (mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic). These contradictory claims about zinc’s health impact seem to constitute a paradox. We present a review of existing studies assessing indicators of national chemical footprints, and of toxicological research related to zinc. We further discuss potential causes of this zinc paradox, as well as implications for assessments of indicators of national chemical footprints with USEtox.
Infrastructure projects are today major contributors to global warming. However, various strategies for reduction of greenhouse gas emission are available, as described in sustainability assessment schemes and performed in infrastructure projects.
Beyond the choice of methodology, greenhouse gas reduction represents an important challenge, namely to engage involved actors. The establishment of a common sustainability policy, reflected in procurement requirements could be a solution. However, often in subject of complications such as misunderstandings or increased cost.
Impres, a research project aiming to streamline the process of greenhouse gas reduction in the infrastructure sector, conducts case studies around the world in which useful methods and examples are assimilated. In cooperation with Impres, the present report includes the case study of California High-Speed Rail (CHSR).
The aim of this report is to compare strategies for greenhouse gas reduction of sustainability assessment schemes for infrastructure projects, and evaluate the feasibility as procurement requirements. Furthermore, to identify corresponding processes of greenhouse gas reduction in the case study of CHSR, as well as revealing important factors towards realization.
The course of work involves a study of the schemes Envision, BREEAM Infrastructure, CEEQUAL, IS Rating System as well as the standard PAS 2080. Regarding the case study, the sustainability policy, procurement requirements and project reports are the main used sources. Moreover, qualitative interviews with involved actors have been performed in California. Finally, to create a comparative matrix for greenhouse gas reduction processes, standards ISO and PAS 2080 have been reviewed.
The results show that greenhouse gas criteria of the studied schemes not are mandatory to perform in anyone but PAS 2080. Which means that further requisites might be needed in order for the schemes to be useful as procurement requirements. Furthermore, the outlining of processes reveals a weakness in the setting of a greenhouse gas reference point, and while every scheme includes a greenhouse gas quantity assessment, there is a difference in the priority of reduction.
Regarding CHSR, an exclaimed policy goal is to perform climate neutral construction. While procurement requirements are limited to quantification of emitted greenhouse gases and the use of effective construction machinery, which is insufficient to meet the goal. Nevertheless, the Authority in charge is performing CO2 compensating measures, such as planting trees.
Finally, a variety of driving forces, success factors and challenges for realizing greenhouse gas reduction have been identified. For example, personal motivation and legislation as driving forces. Whereas, sustainability as a core mission, experience and communication are seen as success factors, and resistance to transfer sustainability goals to procurement is an exclaimed challenge.
As a conclusion, sustainability assessment schemes do have certain processes for greenhouse gas reduction in common. However, they present criteria with different degrees of obligation, affecting feasibility as procurement requirements. In CHSR, similar processes are found, where further reduction of greenhouse gases can be achieved, especially by an optimized choice of construction materials. In the end, personal motivation seems to be an important factor for introducing and realizing greenhouse gas reduction goals in infrastructure projects.
During the so-called “Miljonprogrammet”, over a million homes were built in Stockholm. As the buildings mature, parts of the buildings reach their technical life times and it is time to renovate them. At a time when the environmental impact of humans is a hot topic, it is appropriate to take the environment into account when deciding upon which restoration method to use. The sewage pipes are one of the important building parts in need of repair. This can be achieved by for example traditional pipe replacement or Cure-In-Place-Pipes (CIPP-lining).The goal of this study is to investigate and compare the environmental impact of traditional pipe replacement versus the use of the relining method CIPP lining by conducting a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA). The methods differ in the way that traditional pipe replacement demolishes the outer layers of the bathrooms and remove the old pipes to replace with new and restore the surface layers while CIPP-lining renovates the pipes from the inside with the use of a flexible liner.The purpose of the study has been to clarify the differences in environmental impacts of the different methods in a clear and easily understood way and thereby also simplify the decision-making process of property owners in need of renovation.With aid of the guidelines in ISO standards 14040 and 14044 a correct methodology has been used to ensure that the level of this work will be as high as possible. In combination with the software SimaPro specifically developed to handle the creation of various forms of life cycle assessments and the ISO standards a complex system been analyzed in detail.The results of the study show that CIPP-lining generally cause less environmental impacts than the traditional pipe replacement method. The analysis of 14 selected impact categories show that CIPP lining is preferable in 13 categories and that the traditional pipe replacement is preferable in 1 category. The sensitivity analysis show that the results change drastically depending on how much of the materials and energy used to demolish and reconstruct the outer layers of the bathroom one chooses to allocate to the new sewer pipes.The results show that the CIPP-lining results are dependent on the consumables and the liner assembly processes while the energy usage of the production process does not have a large impact on the results. For the traditional pipe replacement the results show that the consumable process is clearly the biggest impact while the piping production inflicts the least impact on the result.

This study is an original environmental assessment of the Brazilian cashew, a perennial tree cultivated in 30 tropical countries that yields four products: nuts, apples, gum and wood. While economic and agronomic data regarding cashew are available worldwide, the environmental issues related to the main production systems and products commercialized by Brazilian farms have not been discussed consistently. This environmental assessment is important to guide the efforts of researchers and farmers for improving the environmental performance of cashew cropping systems and products. Life cycle assessment is applied to assess the environmental impacts of cashew systems and products, considering multi-cropping systems, agriculture functions and allocation procedures. Two cashew cropping systems are compared: (i) a high-input system, or reference system, developed through 20 years of research, and (ii) a low input system, as defined by a sample of farms practicing multi-cropping systems. Aspects and impacts of these systems are reported via the following production stages: nursery, establishment, and low and full production. Two agriculture functions are adopted to analyze the cropping systems: land management (impacts per hectare) and financial (impact per US$ from total sales receipts). The impacts of cashew products are evaluated using the crop production function (per kilogram of product). The impacts of products are measured using both mass and economic allocation. This study shows that the low and full production stages account for the majority of impact in both cropping systems, but land transformation for the establishment of cashew orchards is the main contributor of climate change. The analysis of multiple agriculture function shows different results for the study of cashew production systems and products. Considering the land management function (impacts per hectare), the low-input system causes less significant environmental impact, when compared to the high-input system, in all categories but toxicity. When the financial function is analyzed (impacts per US$ from total sales receipts from one ha), the low-input system achieves better performance for only eutrophication and water depletion impact categories. The analysis of the crop production function (impacts per kilogram of product) shows that the choice of allocation procedure also affects the results when comparing the impact values of products from different cropping systems. If the choice is for mass allocation, products from the low-input system achieve better environmental performance, but if economic allocation is chosen, products from the high-input system perform equal or better than when produced in the low-input system. From the joint analysis of agriculture functions, the conclusion is that the best option to improve the environmental performance of the Brazilian cashew production is to adjust the high-input system with modifications regarding fertilization and pest management. From this case study, the benefits of considering multi-agriculture functions and accounting for all production stages in the study of perennial crops are highlighted. The importance of developing emission and characterization factors to reduce uncertainty when estimating pollutant loads and evaluating impacts of perennial crops cultivated in tropical regions is also discussed. This study advances the knowledge base on the environmental assessment of perennial crops in general, and on cashew crops specifically.
The main aim of this thesis is to demonstrate and critically assess life cycle approaches’ and environmental certification (EC) tools’ potential for supporting decisions for improved environmental performance in the building and real estate sectors.
Using life cycle approaches, the thesis shows that for new build and renovation cases aiming for low operational energy use that embodied global warming potential (GWP) due to material production can constitute a large portion of a building’s lifetime GWP. Therefore life cycle based information about materials’ embodied GWP needs to be made available to and utilized by design process decision makers.
It was also shown that applying the Swedish EC tool Miljöbyggnad was useful in highlighting potential positive and negative changes in indoor environmental quality arising from renovation packages aiming at significant operational energy use reduction in existing multifamily buildings. However such renovation packages are not profitable from a property owner perspective. Miljöbyggnad may be useful when designing policy instruments to overcome this.
The thesis also showed that EC and related environmental enhancements contribute to achieving property owners’ and tenants’ overall strategic objectives for value creation. For property owners this arises for example through lower energy costs and attracting desirable tenants. For tenants, value creation arises as support for internal and external environmental communication.
For the further development of life cycle approaches’ and EC tools’ application to buildings and real estate it is important to consider how they can be adapted to consider ‘distance to sustainable’ targets referencing for instance the planetary boundaries approach. It is also interesting to investigate how valuation of buildings and real estate may be performed in a way that expands from the current narrow focus on the economic perspective to also include environmental and social perspectives.
HWz Miljö och Ledarskap AB.
Under de senaste 5 åren har miljöcertifiering för byggnader i Sverige tagit fart ordentligt. Det inhemska verktyget Miljöbyggnad är klart populärast, men LEED och en svensk BREEAM-version används också mycket. I vissa delar av västvärlden har miljöcertifiering för byggnader varit en företeelse i minst 15 år och erfarenheterna i form av olika mervärden av certifiering har studerats i ett antal forskningsstudier. Forskningen hittills har framför allt utgått ifrån att noggrann värdering av miljöcertifiering och hållbarhetsaspekter generellt är viktig för att rapportera tillgångars värde. Mindre uppmärksamhet har ägnats åt hur miljöcertifieringen kan påverka fastighetsägarföretag från ett bredare värdeskapande perspektiv.
Det finns i dagsläget tillräckligt många svenska miljöcertifierade byggnader för att kunna undersöka hur mervärde hos svenska fastighetsägare skapas genom miljöcertifiering. Arbetets syfte är därför att visa om och i så fall hur svenska fastighetsägare upplever mervärde från miljöcertifiering utifrån ett brett verksamhetsperspektiv. Arbetet avser också att samla praktiska erfarenheter om mervärde från miljöcertifiering.
Studien bygger på en nätbaserad enkät och intervjuer. Enkäten har använts för att samla information om möjliga mervärden, vilka definierats i förväg av forskargruppen med bas i den befintliga litteraturen. Målgruppen för enkäten var representanter för fastighetsägare med direkt erfarenhet av en svensk miljöcertifierad lokalbyggnad.. Enkäten skickades till representanter för 65 byggnader, och kompletta svar kom in från 31. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer har använts för att få levande exempel på specifika upplevda mervärden samt att ställa följdfrågor kring vilka förutsättningarna eller omständigheterna är/var för att dessa nyttor faktiskt skulle uppkomma alternativt varför de inte uppkommer. 15 personer intervjuades, där varje person hade direkt erfarenhet av en svensk miljöcertifierad lokalbyggnad.
Intervjuer bekräftar enkätresultat att det klaraste mervärdet utifrån driftkostnads och -intäktsperspektivet är minskade energikostnader. Resultat från enkätundersökningen gällande hyresnivå och försäljningspris stämmer överens med tidigare utländska statistiska studier. Dessa mervärden förväntas öka i framtiden enligt enkätsvaren. Samtidigt visar intervjuer att de mervärdena samt vakansgraden, en annan faktor som styr driftinkomsterna, inte upplevs i klara ekonomiska termer. Snarare talar man om att miljöcertifieringen medför ett mervärde genom att den etablerar byggnaden i en nischmarknad för hyresgäster såväl som för investerare. Denna nischmarknad håller på att utvecklas så att miljöcertifieringen i framtiden kommer att ses som ett hygienkrav snarare än en ”unique selling point” som det har varit för de undersökta tidiga exemplen.
Övriga viktiga mervärden enligt intervjuer med stöd av enkätresultat är att miljöcertifieringen underlättar kommunikationen av miljöfrågor i byggprojekt, företagsledning, fastighetsförvaltning och vid marknadsföring. Exempelvis kan man bättre kommunicera mål för miljöarbetet i byggprojekt som i sin tur enligt de intervjuade leder till bättre materialval, en högre kvalité hos byggnaden och bättre dokumentation över inbyggda material. Det senare leder dessutom till en lättare försäljningsprocess enligt en intervju. Studierna visar att miljöcertifieringen har lett till att miljöstyrning blivit en allt mer integrerad del i affärsstrategin vilket har understrukits av att ett flertal kommersiella företag numera har tagit beslut om miljöcertifiering på högst ledningsnivå. I fastighetsförvaltningen har man fått en bättre struktur på miljöarbetet med hjälp av miljöcertifieringen. Slutligen visar intervjuerna flera exempel där miljöcertifieringen har gett mycket positiv marknadsföring, exempelvis med en hög mediesynlighet, en ledande roll i internationella branschnätverk och ett gott rykte bland övriga i branschen.
Med grund i enkät- och intervjuresultaten kan de uppkomna mervärdena delas in i tre separata men kopplade kategorier som handlar om hur miljöcertifiering skapar mervärden: ”miljösatsningarnas mervärde” syftar till mervärden som uppkommer direkt från en specifik miljösatsning som miljöcertifieringen föreskriver. Ett exempel är lägre energikostnader från en effektiv energianvändning. ”Process mervärde” uppkommer genom miljöcertifieringens struktur och kriterier som underlättar miljö- och kvalitetsstyrningsprocesser för byggprojektledning, fastighetsförvaltning och företagsledning. För det tredje uppkommer ”certifieringsmervärde” genom själva märkningen i sig som grundar sig på certifieringverktygens trovärdighet och kännedomen om certifieringssystemet. Det tydligaste mervärdet här för fastighetsägare är att kunna bemöta krav om en byggnad med en specifik certifiering från önskvärda hyresgäster.
Utifrån det samlade intervjumaterialet kan man skönja tre typer av inriktningar när fastighetsägare tillämpar miljöcertifiering. ”Marknadsledare” som kännetecknas av att man framhållersjälva certifieringens mervärden starkt. Mervärde för denna typ uppkommer främst genom konkurrensfördelar av att attrahera önskvärda hyresgäster, vid försäljning och genom varumärkesbyggande. Detta yttrar sig i bibehållna (eller ökade) ränteintäkter, minskad vakansgrad och ökat transaktionsvärde. Enligt intervjustudien är det främst stora privata företag med kontorsfastigheter i storstäder som har denna inriktning. Denna grupp anses vara ledande i den mening att företagsledningarna har fattat beslut om att applicera miljöcertifiering på t.ex. all nybyggnation.
”Samhällsledare” är organisationer vars strategiska inriktning påverkas av eventuella politiska krav eller som ett utfall av att man är en offentligägd organisation som förväntas bidra till samhällets mål och intentioner i största allmänhet. Här framhåller man starkt mervärden i form av den förbättrade byggprocess som tillämpningen av certifieringsverktyget ger. Det viktigaste identifierade mervärdesexemplet för denna strategi handlar om en bättre målstyrning som slår igenom i relationer med konsulter m fl. i byggprojekt samt i att kommunicera och etablera miljöarbetet internt. Enligt intervjuerna leder dessa processförbättringar främst till en byggnad med högre kvalité och bättre kunskap i förvaltningen vad gäller inbyggda material. Typiskt för en sådan organisation är att de är offentligägda och inhyser offentlig verksamhet, exempelvis vård eller utbildning. Denna grupp anses vara ledande i den meningen att man har applicerat miljöcertifieringen mycket medvetet och ibland har man fattat beslut om det på högsta ledningsnivå.
Den sista strategiska inriktningen bedömer vi inte som lika pådrivande som de två förstnämnda. En grupp kallar vi för ”kompetensutvecklare” och bland de intervjuade organisationerna finns det exempel inom denna grupp som är mer marknadsinriktade och de som är mer samhällsinriktade. Dessa fastighetsägare har gemensamt att de inte (i vår tolkning av intervjusvaren) har så tydligt uttryckta syften vad gäller mervärden från miljöcertifieringen som de inriktningar vi bedömer som pådrivande. En fråga är om det är en avsiktlig strategi för dessa organisationer att låta övriga gå före, eller om vi har intervjuat dessa organisationer medan de bygger upp den interna kompetensen för att vara mera pådrivande vad gäller miljöcertifieringen i en nära framtid.
Det ska noteras här att samtliga strategiska indelningar som vi har sett har möjlighet att få ut mervärde från specifika miljösatsningar. Främst av dessa är minskade energikostnader genom energieffektivitet, men det finns också de som kopplas till t.ex. materialval och dagsljus. Beroende på strategisk inriktning kan olika miljöcertifieringar vara mer eller mindre lämpliga för att ut mesta mervärden till lägsta kostnad. ”Marknadsledarna” får i dagsläget störst mervärde från internationella verktyg jämfört med övriga identifierade inriktningar. Frågan är emellertid hur situationen är om några år. Flera intervjuade talar om att miljöcertifiering snart (eller i princip redan är) hygienkrav på kontorsmarknaden i storstadsområden. Detta kan leda till att fler fastighetsägare behöver lära sig och överväga att tillämpa även andra system än Miljöbyggnad ganska snart. Samtidigt finns en risk då tillämpningen av miljöcertifiering blir en viktig affärsstrategisk komponent att verktygen inte styr mot hög miljöprestanda utan mer mot högsta möjliga mervärde.
Analysen här har också visat att det finns goda grunder för att etablera kopplingar mellan mervärde som man får från miljöcertifiering och organisationers värdeskapande arbete som avses att ge finansiell nytta på sikt. Dessa kopplingar kommer att vidareutvecklas i det fortsatta projektarbetet. I fortsättningen görs också en enkät och intervjuer med hyresgäster för lokalfastigheter. Dessutom gör vi en fördjupning kring offentliga aktörer.

But some of the largest and fastest-growing agency brands are squarely focused on a particular type of client, not every type of client. Of the top 25 advertising agencies in America, more than half are specialist firms, not “full-service” agencies. Focused agency brands like Rapp, Digitas, and Wunderman are actually larger than general market agency brands like DDB, Ogilvy, and Y&R. In Minneapolis, a city that has spawned more than its share of talented advertising agencies over the past few decades, the largest agency is not Fallon or Campbell Mithun – firms that help put Minneapolis on the advertising map – but rather Carlson Marketing, a specialist in customer relationship marketing. With revenues of some $265 million, Carlson Marketing is nearly four times larger than any other agency in the city.
But experience shows that the most successful brands deliberately cultivate a narrow line. They know that depth is much more effective strategy than breadth. This is particularly true for professional service firms, where your product is your intellectual capital. No client ever buys a “wide range of expertise,” but rather a specific kind of expertise.
Being afraid of “too much focus” is the mistake of assuming narrow is the same thing as small. Starbucks is narrow – coffee – but it certainly isn’t small. Intel is narrow – microchips – but ranks as a Fortune 100 company. In professional services, some of the largest firms are some of the most focused. For example, while most other advertising agencies attempt to position themselves as “full service,” Zimmerman is focused on the retail category. They call their specialization “brandtailing” – the combination of strong expertise in both branding and retailing. As far as ad agencies go, this is a pretty “narrow” focus. But the result is anything but small. With billings of over $2 billion, this agency employs several thousand people.
While adding services, functions, or divisions may temporarily add to your revenues, the knee-jerk reaction to diversify rarely adds to your profits. This is mostly due to the diffusion of your firm’s energy and resources. Your firm and its management team (especially if you’re one of the smaller independents) can really only optimize one strategy at a time.
As the philosopher Heraclitus said, “You can never step into the same river twice”.
The other argument for diversification is that it broadens your risk — if one business goes bad, the others are there to protect you. Again, this sounds like inarguable common sense. But experience and research shows that it’s almost never an effective way to maximize your profits. The most profitable companies in the country are without exception those that are the most focused, not those that are the most diversified.
To make matters worse, agencies that do choose to establish additional divisions tend to make the same mistake their clients make; they extend the existing agency brand name onto these new companies. Logic says this will create faster, higher awareness at lower cost. But marketing text books are littered with examples of line extensions that literally destroy the meaning and value of a brand. In professional services as well as packaged goods, line extensions rarely if ever result in a strong brand that generates profits without cannibalizing the parent brand. This is because your brand can really only stand for one thing at a time.
The main reason so many brands — agencies and others — fail to reach their potential is because they do what seems logical instead of what’s actually effective. As marketing professionals, we in the agency business should know better.

Belgium: Axel Hirsoux Has Won!
The final Eurovision selection of the season took place tonight as Axel Hirsoux was selected to represent Belgium at Eurovision 2014. His song is called “Mother” and will be flying the Belgian flag in Copenhagen.
The domestic jury that did not have a say in the results unanimously agreed that Axel should represent Belgium in Copenhagen. In the end the public then had 280 points to allocate to the acts. Ruslana in the interval before her performance made a public plea to ask for action to help Ukraine, she went on to perform with the Ukrainian flag in her hand.
Axel also becomes the first Walloon born Belgian to win a Flemish produced Eurovision selection.

The Source's Second Annual Hip-Hop Music Awards were staged Thursday, Aug. 3, 1995, at Madison Square Garden's Paramount Theater in New York City. The 411 Online, which at that time was a small black-and-white magazine known simply as The 411, was there to cover it. Notorious B.I.G. took home four awards, but the show ultimately will be remembered for heightening tensions between the East and West Coasts. Suge Knight publicly attacked Puff Daddy's need to always be seen and heard in his artists' videos, and the show did not return until 1999. Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Rage, Sam Sneed, DJ Quik, 69 Boyz, Biggie, Puff Daddy, Craig Mack, Faith, Total, Junior M.A.F.I.A., Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Method Man performed.

And there are the playful dining and drinking spaces, including The Living Room, an uber-stylish hangout packed with geometric shapes, colour-changing lighting, and cocktails, with DJs some nights and board games others. There’s the upscale Californian cuisine of TRACE on site, with organic ingredients that can be ‘traced’ back to the local fishermen, farmers and producers; but, as you’d expect from a district that has its own acronym, there are also plenty of trendy eateries in the surrounding SoMa area.
In the relaxed but trendy SoMa (South of Market) district, the hotel is just round the corner from Yerba Buena Gardens, by SFMOMA (the Museum of Modern Art), 5 blocks from Union Square, around a mile from Chinatown and Lombard Street, and 2 miles from Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Transfer time from San Francisco International airport: 20 minutes.

Planes, trains, and automobiles… will be clogging up the world this December for the holidays. As loved one travel to be with each other (or away from each other) there is something that we can all agree on: traveling can be stressful.
Whether you are taking one of the modes of transit we mentioned or you arrive and need a luxurious moment of relaxation, we have compiled our favorite travel necessities. These are easy to fit into your toiletry bag, TSA-approved, and practically a spa experience in the palm of your hand.
If you forget your bag at home or your luggage gets lost, don’t fret! Own your ish, hydrate with lots of water, and jet yourself to the nearest store that sells skincare and cosmetics. You can go to the local drugstore or a department store (our founder’s fave is Bloomingdale’s). Either way you decide or whatever you find, use our guide for the product types that you will need to survive these holidays.
Hey, even if you’re spending your holidays on the couch solo then there’s no reason to not treat yoself!
Yes, we admit that it takes a secure AF person to wear a sheet mask in public. However, Charlotte Tilbury totally revamped sheet masks as we know them with her Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask.
You read that right, this mask is dry. Unwrap it, put it on your face, use the ear loops (yes, ear loops) to secure it so that it doesn’t slide off your face like some other masks. There’s no goop or mess. Just a complex of peptides, plant extracts, and vitamins to give you supple and radiant skin that will last for up to eight hours.
So while you’re terrified of looking like Jason from Friday the 13th, just remember that a cocoon isn’t cute but that mofo emerged a butterfly.
The cream, the myth, the legend. The Eye Balm Intense from La Mer takes everything you know about the brand and ups the ante.
This eye balm harnesses the brand’s Miracle Broth™ to regenerate the sensitive skin around your eyes using algae and minerals. The added Marine De-Puff Ferment™ helps to detox your under-eye area using the gemstone tourmaline. This helps with any puffiness or under-eye baggage. Considering the holidays are a time of high salt and alcohol counts, we’re going to keep reapplying this from the time we set foot on the plane until 2019.
The cold weather coupled with travel can lead to parched skin. We’re talkin’ flakes, dry patches, and an overall dull complexion. There’s nothing quite as miserable as applying your makeup and not getting the result you want because your skin is in bad shape.
We avoid this by slathering ourselves in Hydra Beauty Creme Riche from Chanel. The brand’s scientists extracted the most concentrated elements from the Camellia flower to infuse this luxurious cream with the most hydrating ingredients. Blue Ginger helps protect your skin from environmental aggressors (UV and pollutants). This is a must for airplane travel.
There are few things that are more refreshing than a cool spritz on the skin. Water’s cool but have you seen Lightful Softening Lotion?
This product from MAC has diffused vitamin C to renew the skin from any UV damage, increase cell turnover, and heal hyperpigmentation (uneven skin tone). The other prime player is coral grass. What?
Coral grass is a sea plant, harnessed most commonly in Japan, with properties that cause it to be super hydrating when applied to the skin. MAC Cosmetics has been one of the first global brands to use this plant in it’s skincare for a boost of moisture.
vitamin C to renew the skin from any UV damage, increase cell turnover, and heal hyperpigmentation (uneven skin tone). The other prime player is coral grass. What?
So you need the perfect makeup to slip into your clutch for that holiday party or a do-it-all product so you don’t have to lug your whole makeup back in your already over-packed suitcase. Well that product doesn’t exis — just kidding!
Palette Essentielle from Chanel comes in multiple curated tones (six for the basic palette and one on seasonal rotation for added glam). Each compact comes with the perfect concealer that can double as a foundation (just spritz it with the spray above from MAC), a highlighter for that dewy glow, and a color that can be used on lips, cheeks, and eyes. This is a favorite product of Chanel’s head of beauty, Lucia Pica, and one she uses for red carpet and runway.
Mascara will forever be our desert island product and the Hypnose Drama mascara from Lancôme has the wand that dreams are made of. The curve allows you to get down into the roots of your lashes to brush through to the tip with full impact. The curved side helps build and cement your lash curl.
The formula is one of the most dramatic one the market and one swipe is enough for the inkiest and most voluminous lashes. The best part? It doesn’t flake or clump which means no raccoon eyes during that New Year kiss. Grab the holiday edition of this mascara, which contains light reflecting pigments and comes in a chic rose gold package.
Whether you’re trying to compete with the star on the tree or just survive this time, we hope our list of essentials will help. Check out our guide on foundations for dry skin for even more solutions for makeup on dry skin.
What’s your favorite travel/cold weather product? Let us know in the comments below or slide into those DMs.

Our autistic son did some kind of magic on his computer. “Blue screen of death” magic.
We have a friend named Monte who is an I.T. kind of guy. He has the computer at his house seeing if he can bring it back for Joey to do more magic. Monte and his wife were a couple of Joey’s handpicked guests at his 19th birthday party.
What is very special about this chain of events is the way in which Joey is responding.
“Normally” (geez, can we use such a word around here?), the removal of the computer, or VCR, or any other Joey favorite leads to agitation, which can lead to seizures. Years ago, he became violent when a computer froze and I couldn’t fix the problem.
Monte is the right person for the job, not just because he’s an I.T. geek, but because he’s someone who gets Joey and who Joey likes in return.
People who can bond with a special needs person are worth their weight in gold to care givers, too. The “job” isn’t just fixing stuff – it’s being a figure of trust, warmth and other precious levels of connection that special needs often cause to crash, like an old overworked computer.

It's sad to say that our Forum Manager, Steph, has decided to resign from her position as Forum Manager. Steph will still be on the team as Super Moderator but will not have control over Moderators anymore. It's been a pleasure having you onto the Management team Steph.
In this case, -Emma will be Acting Forum Manager until we have a new Manager to replace Steph. I will be hoping to have the applications out in the next couple days so make sure you watch out for that. If not, I will be choosing the Forum Manager myself.

A layover can be pretty boring or even exhausting especially if it is in an unfamiliar city. But layovers can be exciting tourist opportunities; especially in an interesting city like Hong Kong. Depending on how long the layover is, there are interesting things to do within 12+ hours of being in Hong Kong. Here is a short guide of three things to do in a 12+ hour layover in Hong Kong.
There is no better place to begin an epic journey through the beauty that is all one can get out of Hong Kong in 12-24 hours than the Hong Kong International airport. The Hong Kong International airport is quite interesting as it contains a variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment centers. These entertainment centers include the UA IMAX Theatre which is the biggest IMAX giant screen in Hong Kong well positioned to accommodate the field of view of every audience member and The Aviation Discovery Centre which offers a history of the aviation industry in Hong Kong through themed exhibitions complete with attractions like the Cockpit simulator and the Sky Deck. Both entertainment centers can be found at Terminal 2 of the airport. A tour of the airport should last about 2 hours.
Shopping is a fun way to pass time as it provides a lot to see together with the exhilarating feeling of purchasing something new. It takes between 1 hour 30 minutes to 4 hours to shop at the City Gate Outlets, the Maritime Square or both.
The City Gate Outlets is about 10 minutes from the airport via the S64 or S1 bus services. This mall with its over 90 international household items, fashion, beauty and miscellaneous accessories brands offers a unique shopping experience which includes discounts ranging from 30% to 70%. It also provides the opportunity get a spa treatment, see a movie or enjoy Asian cuisine.
The Maritime Square is about 35 minutes from the airport. It can be gotten to by taking the Airport Express and getting off at Tsing Yi Railway Station. As the name hints, it is the first ocean-themed shopping Mall in Hong Kong. It promises a beautiful shopping experience with its over hundred shops and restaurants.
Most cities are best explored on foot. This provides an opportunity to soak in the feel of the city and to experience the daily life in the city. Hong Kong is no exception. Walking through Hong Kong on foot is very rewarding as it offers the chance to see the daily life of its inhabitants, learn something new about the rich culture and history of Hong Kong and get a taste of the amazing street food.
No matter how long the layover is, there is no excuse to spend it huddled in boredom when there are some exciting things to do while waiting for the next flight.

Whilst pregnant with Poet I constantly reminded myself that I had to let go of my birth experience with Che because second time around it was going to be different - I was birthing a different baby. Not once did I consider that the same rule would apply to parenting.
When Poet was about 18-months-old she started to really assert her independence. She is all fire and quirk; she's fearless, quite demanding and rough with affection. She is my opposite and she's taught me that while consistency in parenting is important, honouring and respecting the individual child is essential, too. It's one of the most humbling realisations that I've had as a parent; never presume you've got it under control because when you do, your two-year-old with throw her head back, let out a raucous laugh and then look you in the eye and say: "No!"
There has been so much intellectualising of parenting lately; there are a myriad of labels and countless news articles explaining "how to". It can be so overwhelming and to be honest, I often think it's unnecessary. Right now I'm accepting the fact that sometimes, it's best to surrender to laughter instead of keeping a straight face.
Daniel and I have had to let go of everything that worked with Che and go back to basics, right back to the beginning. As we wander the windy toddler path we teach right from wrong once the giggles have eased.
I should probably start by apologising for taking so long to announce the winner of the winter giveaway. Truth be told, life has been slightly chaotic and I wanted to set aside a good few hours to sip tea and read haiku. It was such a treat to scroll through the entries - you're a talented bunch and I really appreciate you bringing your creativity to this space.
Congratulations, little one. I hope haiku helps you to celebrate each and every season.
If you're interested in introducing haiku to your children I highly recommend Today and Today, Zen Shorts and Zen Ties. If you have any other suggestions please leave them in the comments section.
Living a less-distracted life : come back to your breath.
How often do you stop to feel yourself breathe? I'm presuming your answer is "not often enough" - and that's ok.
If you watch a baby or young child breathe, they do so with their whole torso; it rises and falls with each inhalation and exhalation. It's called a whole body breath and adults don't do it enough. After childhood, when we begin to experience stress, it's quite normal for us to revert to short, sharp breaths into the chest. Ideally we need to breathe into the belly - a deep, nourishing inhalation followed by a long, releasing exhalation.
Breath awareness is one of the most effective relaxation techniques. Simply observing the breath has the power to bring you into the present moment, to the here and the now. When you start to become aware of your breath you begin to notice its quality - light or heavy, smooth or jagged - and from there you naturally become more aware of your body.
It can be quite confronting to stop and realise that you've been running on auto, that your breath is shallow and your body is tense. But I promise you that it doesn't take long to establish awareness; to make it an essential practice in your day. You can do it right now - mentally repeat "let" as you inhale and "go" as you exhale. It's also a beautiful way to settle before sleep, encouraging your breath to move down into your belly, letting go of your day and any unnecessary thoughts.
So: inhale and exhale....become aware of the rise and fall, ebb and flow.
Che: He gave me 10 shots before he ran off to play with the neighbours; bright winter sun on a day cold enough for a scarf (and he needs a haircut).
Poet: We have arrived at two - "No" and "Miiiiiiiiiine" have been the words of the week.
Following on from the discussion about capturing the child's beloved belongings within a portrait, I've been thinking about the idea of home. I usually capture close-up portraits of the children but this week I'm going to work at stepping back, capturing them in their home - the photographer just passing by.
This week the happy, colourful shots over at Airstream Family made me smile / Free of fever and looking absolutely adorable in a corner of light - little Saul and his mop of curls / I love Harper and Finn's expressions; so honest / Possibly the best silhouette-by-the-ocean shot I have ever seen...and I can't go past a pouty, sleeping babe / and finally, a sketch from a dad besotted with his girls.
Table decoration, a trigger of childhood memories and subsequent reminiscing; "he loves me, he loves me not," ingredients for pretend tea, the inspiration for a portrait, the perfect prop against crinkled linen, windowsill installation.
There really is beauty in the simple things...and the simple things are not expensive.
Living a less-distracted life: tune out, switch off.
I spend a lot of time on my laptop; it's a necessary part of my work life and it's also where I indulge in a little creativity - writing, editing photos, seeking inspiration. But lately, as I've had deadline after deadline to exhaust me, I've made a conscious decision to stay away from the computer and its long list of distractions.
Steering clear of the laptop gets me out of my head - quite literally. I stop thinking and start doing. I'm more aware of my body because I'm moving it, taking strides, stretching skyward. I use my hands differently too; instead of the monotonous tap, tap, tap, I hold a littler hand in mine, I touch salt water and sand, I massage the earth whilst gardening and ground myself in the best possible way.
By switching off I find clarity; creative inspiration and much-needed perspective.
Che: Plane, car and Astro Boy in Japanese; this week's beloved possessions.
Poet: Walking the sea wall on her birthday, the salt wind whipping her hair.
I unintentionally created a sequel of 28/52. I also wanted to create an example of portraits without faces; they are still such honest captures of my children.
This week I adored Leah's captures of a journey; rich with the warmth of a summer road trip / Elie and his colourful blocks, a beautiful childhood moment / Logan in mid-summer; so sweet / Saskia wrapped in wool and bathed in light / and Matilda and George - in black + white, all the way from Scotland.
trying out her new wishbone bike / reading to Poet; a tiny eyes doll complete with a top knot, a pocket dress and leather buckle shoes.
Late last night you lay on my chest and cuddled in - we stayed there till you fell to sleep. I was reminded, so vividly, of our meeting two years ago; for the first two hours of your life you clung to me, eyes wide, taking me in. It's one of my most cherished memories - getting to know you, trying to fathom that you were actually here, my dark-haired, cherub-lipped girl. I hope you cuddle in on every birthday eve, just so we can reminisce.
The first six months of school have been a little like the first six months of motherhood. I've been the amateur, tentatively walking a new path, questioning my ability and my decisions. Whilst my days are not dictated by the cries of a newborn they are most definitely controlled, to an extent, by the school bell.
Documenting my experience as a school mum seems relevant to this space and so it's with all honesty that I say it's been harder than I anticipated. This brand new phase of parenthood has been a little confronting and it's definitely taking me time to adjust. Che is thriving - I'm so grateful for his enthusiasm and happiness. But me? Well, generally I've found it all a bit overwhelming.
When you become a school mum you automatically take on a whole new list of responsibilities - life gets significantly busier. We were a few weeks into the school year when I realised that this new level of busy was now my normal. It was then that I vowed to keep things simple; easy afternoons, no extra curricular activities, slow, spontaneous weekends. Even so, there's been a fair few weeks where I've wished for those pre-school days when we were a little freer.
When your first-born starts school you grieve the end of one journey as you attempt to embrace another. There's a period of transition that can be a little rocky; you step into a new role and place yet another hat on your head. It's only now, in retrospect, that I understand what the transition phase was all about. Amidst the strict routine of the school week I was establishing a rhythm so that I could, in my own way, feel grounded and settled in my new role.
I spent most of 2012 wondering how Che was going to cope with the changes - not once did I think it would be me with the issues. Parenthood is so humbling.
Living a less-distratced life: recognising that my phone is one big "beeping" distraction.
Take a moment to visualise a bunch of parents and kids at the park. Now visualise a bus full of commuters making their way into the city, coffee drinkers at your local cafe, people waiting in line at the supermarket. There's a lot of phones in that picture, isn't there.
The smart phone has introduced so much convenience into our lives and, rather ironically, a significant amount of distraction, too. Many of us jump to look at the screen as soon as we hear a beep or a bling, we make notes, take photos, play games and get a real time look into everyone else's lives (filtered in every sense of the word).
I'm guilty of it - quite guilty in fact. My phone is just a small version of my laptop; whenever I have it with me I'm basically carrying my work load around. If I take it into the bedroom at night and have it on my bedside table I'm spending the night next to a little device that omits some rather nasty energy. It also means I wake to distraction and work every morning - my phone is not the first thing I want to see when I open my eyes.
This week I purchased a little clock that now sits on my bedside table. It has numbers and hands and an alarm. It doesn't omit harmful energy, it doesn't light up, it doesn't remind me about work, it doesn't send me messages and it can't take photos. It's plain and quiet and simple - it fits in nicely with my collection of bedside essentials.
So: spend some time away from your phone, find a replacement clock for your bedside table, turn of some of your notifications and embrace the opportunity to be in the present moment - without distraction.
Che: His winter has been about two things: a spiderman onesie and long lego building sessions (usually wearing the onesie whilst building the lego).
Poet: Flyaway hair and rolled up denim; so happy on the shore.
It's been a quiet week around here as I tap, tap, tap on the keyboard, trying to meet a huge deadline. Working from home is always interesting; life goes on around me as I escape into a bubble of emails, interviews and stories. I'm not the nicest person to be around at times like these but thankfully my three besties excuse my bad behaviour.
Reading blogs is always a welcome break from monotonous work. I wish I was throwing pebbles into the lagoon like this sweet boy / or hiding in a field of daisies like Lily / warming in the winter sun with these cuties / chasing these furry bundles across the sand / or spending my time lakeside like Bespoke - water like glass.
This, the final in the seasonal giveaway series, is a collection of beautiful products to inspire creativity and prompt warm, slow days. There's a little bit of everything here; woollens for your child, decadent beauty products to nurture your skin, handprinted linens for your bedroom, wholefood cookbooks, art supplies and that Riviera blue cast iron French Oven.
13. Every winter kitchen needs a little cast iron and this Chasseur 24cm round 3.8L casserole pot in Riviera blue is pretty perfect. Valued at $209 from Kitchen Warehouse.
14. Petite Kitchen by Eleanor Ozich; a fabulous winter "simple eating" cookbook inspired by tradition, whole foods and gathering with family - valued at $30.
And so, to enter all you need to do is write a haiku poem about winter. I will nominate my favourite 10 poems and will send the list to each brand featured in the giveaway. They will then nominate their favourite and the poem with the most votes wins.
This giveaway ends on Thursday 18th July at 9pm. I'll announce the winner in the days following. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask them in the comments section - I'll respond there as soon as I can.
This giveaway is open to readers across the globe (even if you are currently basking in summer).
There is an onslaught of fancy (exorbitantly expensive) kitchen gadgets on the market and almost every cookbook I pick up requires at least one of them. Do we really need advanced technology to cook good food? No, definitely not.
I've been scouring my local op-shops for hardwearing, good quality kitchenware. It's hard to find but occasionally I stumble upon a gem. A cast-iron pot is a treasure I discover once a year, sometimes the wooden utensils are in abundance and at other times I return home with nothing. When I pop into little boutiques I'm drawn to tea strainers, handcrafted spoons and textured linen.
ginger - in tea to boost the immune system, with fruit & veg juice to revitalise and a pungent addition to an Asian-inspired meal.
fresh herbs - I've just planted my essential herbs after neglecting them for a fair few months. I love society garlic (you can eat the flowers, too), flat-leaf parsley, thyme, rosemary, chives and mint. Aesthetically pleasing and an absolute kitchen staple.
wooden utensils - I have a jug full of them in all manner of shapes and sizes. Some are stained with the red of tomatoes, others wear the burn marks of a rushed cooking session.
beeswax - I light a candle in the kitchen each afternoon/evening; it sees me through preparing, cooking, eating, cleaning, contemplating.
eggs - preferably from mama + popa's chooks who roam through the herb patch, these beauties are a meal in themselves and taste best when gooey and met with toast soldiers. The ultimate comfort, they truly make a fluffy batch of pancakes, a celebratory cake, a hearty quiche.
loose leaf tea and a pretty strainer - a necessity for a tea ritual and therefore a necessity in my life.
honey dripper - because swirling golden honey from the jar onto hot toast is one of life's simplest pleasures.
a tea spoon - with a curved handle it happily sits on the side of the teacup in case a little more stirring is required.
big handled scissors - for cutting herbs and flowers stalks.
sea salt + pepper - enough said.
lemons - for a citrus-inspired roast chook, or sprinkled over steamed greens, with cream cheese for delectable cake icing or with ginger in that immune-boosting tea mentioned previously.
berries, fruit or flowers - bought, gratefully received or found, a touch of decoration on the windowsill completes the scene.
Living a less-distracted life : spend 15 minutes a day completing a chore (particularly one I've been putting off).
I'm revisiting a New Year's resolution/good intention here.
I'm not the Type A personality who succeeds in practical thinking and organised doing. I'm the person who acknowledges a task needs to be done, mulls over it for a good while, adds it to the list and comes back to it later. Unfortunately it doesn't take long for the list to become a burden and so, before long, those little chores amount to one big, irritating distraction.
What is most enlightening about this "15 minute rule" is the realisation that all the chores I've been putting off actually don't take that long to complete. They are far more daunting on the page and in my head than they are in real-life. And so, every day I set the timer and work on a task; I am focused, determined and hence I work efficiently.
Most of the chores I've been working on have saved me time in the long run. An organised kitchen cupboard means I don't have to spend five minutes finding the lid for the pyrex dish. A tidy pantry ensures the right ingredient can be found without any shuffling or rearranging. Cleaning the children's wardrobes means there's a place for everything and everything is in its place.
So: set the timer on your phone, work for 15 minutes and get rid of all your distracting chores. 15 minutes a day, one-by-one, tick, tick, tick.
In stark contrast to the oyster farms, the winter rock pool is bright and, quite literally, shimmering.
We all went down to the beach this week and come midday Che and Poet were immersed; splashing and shrieking. After days of relentless rain it was with sweet relief that I lifted my face to the sky and let the sun warm me to the core.
This is mid-winter on the east coast of Australia; wetsuit-clad kids waiting for waves.
The view from the carriage is always beautiful, especially when the train weaves around the Hawkesbury River, past tiny fisherman cottages, derelict sheds and humble tinnies.
Early Saturday morning the rain was bucketing and the fog was heavy. It made for an eerie yet mesmerising picture.
We are halfway through the year and as I try to comprehend just how fleeting it has been, I find comfort in the 52 portraits I have captured. As I look at the photos together I see a story - of their childhood and my motherhood. I'm grateful.
Living a less-distracted life : de-cluttering my inbox.
if I don't have time to reply, I mark the email as "unread"
So: de-clutter your virtual letterbox, it's somewhat satisfying.

On a boat departing Paris in 1840, a young man, Frédéric Moreau, stares moodily at Paris, still visible behind him. He is going home to Nogent-sur-Seine to stay with his mother before beginning his law studies. On deck, he observes a man holding forth with a young woman. Frédéric and the man soon engage in conversation. The man introduces himself as Jacques Arnoux, the owner of an art magazine. A servant tells Monsieur Arnoux he is needed by Mademoiselle, and he goes belowdecks.
Frédéric observes the passengers. He sees a beautiful woman in the first-class section and is captivated. Everything about her entices him—from her body to her basket of embroidery. Frédéric sees that her shawl is about to fall into the water. He grabs it for her, and she thanks him. Then Arnoux appears with a small girl. The beautiful woman is Arnoux’s wife.
Frédéric stays close to the Arnouxes. Arnoux invites him to go belowdecks, to the saloon. There, Frédéric sits near Madame Arnoux and observes her closely. Eventually, Frédéric and the Arnouxes get off the boat, and Frédéric says goodbye. As he makes his way home, he remembers that Monsieur Arnoux had called his wife “Marie.” He vows to become a friend of the family and see Madame Arnoux again.
At home, Frédéric’s mother and some friends greet him warmly. Madame Moreau welcomes her son and is certain that great things await him. As Frédéric eats a meal, he wonders what Madame Arnoux is doing. He eventually leaves the house to visit a friend named Charles Deslauriers.
Deslauriers’s father was angry and abusive when Deslauriers was a child, but he sent him to school in Sens, where he met Frédéric. Deslauriers was passionate about philosophy, while Frédéric was interested in drawing and writing. They planned to work together in Paris and lead decadent lives with women. They separated for a while, while Charles studied law in Paris and Madame Moreau sent Frédéric to Le Havre to visit a rich uncle.
This is the first time they have seen each other in two years. Deslauriers tells Frédéric he will not be staying in Paris, which disappoints Frédéric. Frédéric tells Charles about Madame Arnoux, and Charles encourages him to pursue a friendship with Monsieur Arnoux.

With the constantly growing interest of players to online gambling, the online gambling market is growing too. Gaming companies try to satisfy the growing demands. They offer new products, develop technologies and sign new licensing agreements.
Inspired Gaming is the company with niche interest in virtual racing products (speedway racing, horse and greyhound racing and motor racing). Recently the company has signed two new major licensing agreements with Paddy Power, a growing force for betting in the UK market, and Victor Chandler – one of the best known names in betting. Both companies believe that the racing software of Inspired Gaming will become a great compliment to the products they already offer.

German laws regarding online casino gambling industry were not consistent and systematic. The country had a monopoly and would have run it for two more years had it not been for the High Court’s ruling on Germany which means that online casino gambling and betting reform are a must for the country at the moment.
Now EU countries know the boundaries lines of their control when passing new internet gambling laws. Besides, the ECJ is supposed to rule in favor of more inclusive regulation what means that countries have to prove that monopolies and bans do really help to keep their citizens in safety.
So, the present ruling in Germany gives betting companies a good chance to access German players.

The online casino gambling industry has been banned in Israel for years already, however, at the moment the Israeli government are taking new and serious steps to keep the internet gambling sites away from the country.
The new implemented ISP blocks are of little danger for the global internet community. The fear is that these blocks may soon turn into a form of internet censorship in the country. The brightest example of how the country can keep everything under control is China, the country with the longstanding history of news and political information censorship.
Another side of the implementation of these blocks is that they create more savvy internet gambling companies who always find other ways to access the players.

Amendments in the law regarding online casinos are expected to take place soon in Belgium. They are supposed to limit and restrict certain online casino activities from some operators in the country. Officials claim that they don’t have any intentions to monopolize the industry, but only to protect the main interest of the public.
The amendments are supposed to get serious inquiry and evaluation if they are legal and comply with EU laws first, however, the EU Commission has already received numerous complaints from opposing bodies.

When reading becomes a party!
It was with some butterflies in the stomach and great excitement that Grade 2 students finished the Literary Month with a flourish!
The students read the story “Witch, Witch come to my party”, by Arden Druce. As a way to share such a nice story, they dramatized it to grade 1 and preschool 3 students May 31st.
Not only did they think of the best way to do their dramatization but also were engaged all the time finding solutions to build the characters and sharing customs with friends in order to make of it a very special moment.
At the end, they threw a party at the sound of “Fireworks” by Katy Perry and “Can't Stop the Felling”, by Justin Timberlake.
Undoubtedly, Grade 2 students rock!

FRESH SEEDS Papaver rhoeas (common names include corn poppy, corn rose, field poppy, Flanders poppy, red poppy, red weed, coquelicot, and, because of its odour, which is said to cause them, as headache and headwark) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family,Papaveraceae. This poppy, a native of Europe, is notable as an agricultural weed (hence the “corn” and “field”) and as a symbol of fallen soldiers Next day delivery only to be had to mainland Britain Seed is to be had to the remainder of the United Kingdom but will take several days to arrive via royal mail recorded delivery Ground preparation Endeavour to make a choice ground that is not highly fertile and does not have a problem with perennial weeds. Good preparation is very important to success so aim to keep watch over weeds and produce a good quality seed bed before sowing. To prepare a seed bed first remove weeds the usage of repeated cultivation or a herbicide. Then plough or dig to bury the surface vegetation, harrow or rake to produce a medium tilth, and roll, or tread, to produce a firm surface. Sowing Seed is best sown in the autumn or spring but may also be sown at other times of the year if there is sufficient warmth and moisture. The seed will have to be surface sown and may also be applied by machine or broadcast by hand. To get an even distribution and avoid running out divide the seed into two or more parts and sow in overlapping sections. Do not incorporate or cover the seed but firm in with a roll, or by treading, to give good soil/seed contact.

Received: 29 Aug 2015; Published: 12 Oct 2015.
The increase of population leads to an increase of the quantity of domestic wastewater. Activated sludge system is the most cost-efective to treat the domestic wastewater treatment. This study is aimed to evaluate the co-precipitation coagulant effect of FeCl3 on the growth of activated sludge, settling characteristics of the activated sludge, and effluent quality. sludge sedimentation characteristics (settling) as well as on the effluent quality. The activated sludge systems were operated in batch mode and synthetic domestic wastewaters with C:N:P ratio of 100:5:1 were used as feed wastewater. The growth of activated sludge was based on concentration of Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid (MLSS), settling characteristics of activated sludge was based on value of Sludge Volume Index (SVI), and effluent quality was based on turbidity, colour, N-ammonia concentration, and Chemical Oxygen Demand content. Results indicate that inhibition effect of FeCl3 to activated sludge activity was not significant at dosage ≤ 30 mg/L. Good settling characterisic (SVI 70-150 mg/L) was achieved at dosage of 20-30 mg/L. Finally, the best effluent quality, i.e. turbidity (9.4), colour (96), amonia removal (83.6%), and COD removal (72.97%), at dosage of 30 mg/L.
Peningkatan jumlah penduduk mengakibatkan kenaikan jumlah air limbah domestik. Sistem lumpur aktif merupakan proses yang paling efektif untuk mengolah air limbah domestik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh co-precipitation koagulan FeCl3 terhadap pertumbuhan lumpur aktif, karakteristik pengendapan lumpur aktif, dan kualitas efluen. Sistem lumpur aktif dioperasikan secara curah dan umpan air limbah yang digunakan adalah air limbah domestik sintesis dengan rasio C:N:P = 100:5:1. Pertumbuhan lumpur aktif berdasarkan konsentrasi Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid (MLSS), karakteristik pengendapan lumpur berdasarkan nilai Sludge Volume Index (SVI), dan kualitas efluen berdasarkan tingkat kekeruhan, warna, kadar N-amonia dan kadar Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inhibisi FeCl3 terhadap aktivitas lumpur aktif tidak signifikan pada dosis ≤ 30 mg/L. Karakteristik pengendapan yang baik (SVI 70-150 mg/L) tercapai pada dosis 20-30 mg/L. Kualitas efluen terbaik, yaitu kekeruhan (9,4), warna (96), penyisihan amonia (83,6%) dan penyisihan COD (72,97%), pada dosis 30 mg/L.

OLDHAM RLFC wishes to emphasise how crucially important it is for the club’s well-being that fans rally round and buy season tickets for the 2019 season.
Many of you have done so already and we thank you for that, and appreciate your backing. We really do hope, however, that more of you will follow suit.
WITH THAT IN MIND, THE DEADLINE FOR BUYING AT DISCOUNTED PRICES HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, TWO DAYS BEFORE OUR FIRST PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY AT BARROW.
We fully appreciate that this is an expensive time of year for everyone, but it would truly be a massive help if more of those supporters who can afford would consider paying up front to come to the club’s assistance and to take advantage of the offers that are built into season-ticket pricing.
The facility to spread payments by instalments is closed, but otherwise fans now have until 3pm on Friday, January 11 to buy by post or in person at the club’s office inside the Vestacare Stadium and until midnight on January 11 to buy online by debit or credit card via the Roughyeds payments site.
To contact the office between these times ring 07904 898177.
Sitting: adults £144, concessions £126, under-16s £40.
To buy by post include cheque made payable to ORLFC and send to: Oldham RLFC, Vestacare Stadium, Whitebank Road, Limehurst Village, Oldham OL8 3JH.
The club is doing all in its power, despite facing severe financial restraints (caused mainly by proposed changes to central funding and a reduction in the number of league games in 2019), to build a good squad for next season, as head coach Scott Naylor underlined so positively at the recent Open Forum for supporters at the Vestacare Stadium.
Currently, 22 players are signed-on for next season, including new recruits Ben Calland, Richie Hawkyard, Aaron Jones-Bishop, Anthony Bowman, Jamie Greenwood, Scott Law and Emmerson Whittel plus Danny Grimshaw, who is back after a season away.
Scott told fans that other additions are in the pipeline and that he already has a squad that he believes will be stronger and better than last year’s group and certainly a lot more experienced.
He also looked forward with great anticipation to competing in the new 1895 Cup which, he said, would be all about getting to Wembley, unlike the Challenge Cup which, realistically for a club of Oldham’s current standing, was more about getting a good draw and earning some money.
Cup games, admittedly, are not covered by season tickets but the point we are making is this: There IS a lot to look forward to in 2019, not least a realistic opportunity to win promotion with a new-look squad that will have to fight tooth and nail against the other anticipated front-runners for the two promotion spots, possibly headed by big-spending Newcastle Thunder, who come to the Vestacare Stadium for our fourth and final pre-season warm-up game on Sunday, February 3.
That, and the Law Cup game with Rochdale Hornets at home on Sunday, January 20 are key dates for your diary as we look ahead to the start of the new campaign.
Off the field, we are hoping to recruit more volunteers to enable us to reach out and engage more with schools and community clubs and to look at ways and means of increasing our fan base and involving a lot more younger supporters with the help of our fantastic mascot Roary, whom we believe is one of the best in the business.
The fans who attended the forum were given an insight into what’s going on behind the scenes and left for home, we feel sure, with optimism about next season and, even more importantly, an upbeat view of how the club intends to face up to and confront head-on the many severe challenges that lie ahead.
These are not merely applicable to our club but to all clubs at our level.
We CAN surmount these hurdles, as Julie Collins explained so professionally with the aid of her power-point slides at the forum, but we can only do it with YOUR help and YOUR loyal backing.
What the future holds for the professional arm of rugby league in Oldham, will be determined to a large degree by how much support we can muster among the town’s not inconsiderable rugby league community.
We have to continue to reach out to that community and we intend to do so, but more immediately we need our great and ever-loyal diehards to give the club a massive lift with the sale of season tickets.
Yes, you pay up front and you save the equivalent of one match’s turnstile price as well as receiving a newly-designed club scarf which would itself retail at £10, thus saving you a total of £24. With only ten home league games there isn’t much leeway but we’ve done the best we can, always with the club’s best interests in mind.
We understand that you might have to miss more than one match anyway because of holidays and other family commitments.
Purely on a mathematical basis you might think a season ticket isn’t for you. But we are not talking maths here . . . we are talking of the club we all love and of its future.
Various clubs are, and in the recent past have been, firing distress signals and we have first-hand knowledge, have we not, of how easily a club can be here one day and gone the next.
As pubs disappear overnight, local newspapers continue to fail, High Streets crumble under the pressures of online shopping and every time you switch on the TV you are bombarded with appeals for help from some charity or another, we live in a changing world in which we have to fight like mad to keep hold of the things that we hold dear.
Rugby League is fighting such a battle right now. Closer to home, so is Oldham RLFC.
A key part of that battle concerns how many season tickets we can sell between now and the new cut-off point, Friday, January 11, 2019.
We’ve heard it said that fans should be given until nearer the start of the season to get the best discounts so we’ve listened to that viewpoint and acted accordingly.
We need the income NOW, and over the course of the next few weeks, because we’re signing players, building a squad and still having to meet lots of continuing overheads without any income from match attendances and the like.
Not all our fans can afford to buy season tickets. We know that and we seriously value the support of those who pay at the turnstile, perhaps sacrificing something else in order to do that. You are our lifeblood, our heart-beat if you like.
But for those who can afford a season ticket without breaking the bank please consider renewing or, if you haven’t gone down that route previously, please consider doing it now for the benefit of the club and the sport that means so much to you.
At risk of nicking the late, great John F Kennedy’s thought process and his famous line, think not of what the club can do for you, but what you can do for the club.
Please remember that deadline . . . January 11, 2019.
THE CLUB SENDS ITS BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL FOR A VERY HAPPY AND PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS, FOLLOWED BY AN EQUALLY HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.

When shopping for an eco-friendly vehicle, you might be considering a hybrid for its impressive fuel mileage and smart, versatile design. But not all hybrids offer the same room for the family, convenience of operation or even comparative safety standards. In the case of putting the 2018 Toyota Prius up against the 2018 Chevrolet Volt, it soon becomes clear that spending more cash up front only gets you an empty wallet.
Which One Requires to be Plugged-In to Recharge Daily?
The 2018 Toyota Prius is the hybrid ready to run anytime and anywhere that you need your transportation. It never needs a power outlet to operate as it has a charge sustaining battery from the use of power from the engine recovered in coasting and braking. You will need to plug-in the 2018 Chevrolet Volt every night to your particular charging station to make it into your job. If you need to run some errands, you are going to need to find another charging location to top off the tank.
Does One have More Room?
After picking the children up from school, you might want to stop for some bread and milk. There is very little space for shopping bags in the trunk of the 2018 Chevrolet Volt while the 2018 Toyota Prius offers a convenient liftgate with enough room for their backpacks and the groceries.
Which Vehicle Comes Loaded with Extra Protection?
Every 2018 Toyota Prius comes complete with Toyota Safety Sense P which includes pedestrian detection with emergency braking, lane departure detection, automatic high beams and dynamic radar cruise control which work together to avoid accidents. In the 2018 Chevrolet Volt, you can add on some of these features which come at an additional cost.
In the end, when you opt for the 2018 Toyota Prius you will be saving all around while enjoying the versatility, efficiency, and safety that your family needs in a daily commute.
