The cable, written on 16 July 2008, was sent by the US consulate in Mumbai, India, to the US secretary of state, and summarizes a discussion of the CDM involving representatives of the consulate and the US Government Accountability Office, along with Indian officials and executives of large Indian companies. At the time, 346 Indian projects had been registered with the CDM's executive board. Today, more than 720 Indian projects have been approved and have gained some 120 million tonnes' worth of carbon credits, a large fraction of the 750 million tonnes issued since 2005 (see 'Cleaning up').
Yet on the evidence of discussions at the meeting, most of the carbon-offset projects in India fail to meet the CDM requirements set by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The cable also describes the UN's validation and registration process as "arbitrary".
Indian authorities were also criticized in the cable. All CDM projects must be validated nationally, then verified independently by an accredited firm. But the cable quotes R. K. Sethi, then chairman of the CDM's executive board and member-secretary of the Indian CDM authority in New Delhi, as admitting that the authority simply "takes the project developer at his word for clearing the additionality barrier".
"This will not invalidate carbon trading, but it does go to show that the CDM has serious flaws," says Mark Maslin, a climatologist at University College London. "In India and China, the multiple levels of governance which you need to have in place to make carbon trading work are simply not there."
Martin Hession, head of global carbon markets at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change, and chairman of the CDM executive board, says that the critical remarks in the cable date from a time when "people were complaining a lot" about problems with the CDM. Controversies over whether specific projects reduce net emissions are still common, he says. But since 2008, the board has followed more stringent guidelines for verifying the eligibility of projects and for enhancing the overall efficiency of the scheme.
"The CDM is much more transparent and predictable than the tenor of these remarks might suggest," he says. "We reject many projects in India and China because they fail to meet the required criteria, and we do in fact often get the message that project validation has become too stringent."
Others argue that the rules are still not rigorous enough. In some circumstances, the CDM may actually have encouraged the production in developing countries of the coolant chemical HFC-23, an extremely potent greenhouse gas (M. Wara, Nature 445, 595–596; 2007). Critics have demanded harsher sanctions against validating companies found guilty of lax oversight, together with clearer conflict-of-interest policies and tighter rules on what qualifies as an additional clean-development project.
International Rivers, an environmental campaigning group based in Berkeley, California, is now calling on the CDM executive board to reject the 412-megawatt Rampur hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh, India, which is awaiting CDM approval. The project could earn some 15 million carbon credits from 2012 to 2022, amounting to an estimated US$150-million windfall for the Shimla-based developer Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited, the group says. But the decision to finance that project was taken long before the CDM was even created, says Himanshu Thakkar, director of the Delhi-based South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People, clearly invalidating its application.
The company stands by its claim that the project qualifies for the CDM, and says that the Indian government approved the investment proposal for the project in 2007, when the CDM was already in place. As Nature went to press, the CDM's executive board, which met in Quito, Ecuador, this week, had not yet decided whether to approve the Rampur project.
Despite the controversy, the European Union seems determined to continue its mandatory emissions-trading system, which it sees as crucial in tackling climate change. There's little doubt about the urgency of that goal: global carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 45% since 1990, reaching an all-time high of 33 billion tonnes in 2010, according to a report released last week by the European Commission.

This is not necessarily a risk factor for cancer. You need to find ou why though. If the time between day 1 of one period and day 1 of the next is 22 days this is within normal range.

The first step in creating a 2D game is to first settle on the idea for the game. It seems obvious but sometimes people waste a lot of time and effort by jumping into creating graphics and programming elements without knowing exactly what their game is actually about. The game idea - known as the concept - is extremely important and must itself be developed in great detail before progressing to the next stage. The concept stage can be broken down into three parts, idea generation, idea development and idea visualisation. Remember, the great thing about games is that anything you imagine is possible so set your imagination free!
First things first then; you need to come up with an idea for your game. Idea generation is often called brainstorming but in reality brainstorming is just one type of idea generation. Brainstorming involves simply writing down as many ideas as possible as quickly as possible without considering their merit (whether they are good or bad). It is important not to think too much while doing this as logical or analytical thinking will restrict your creative mind.
Another idea generation technique is 'the random game' which involves creating headings of time, place, object and person/animal. You then give yourself a minute to write down as many things as possible under each heading. For example, under the 'time' heading you may write things like Jurassic period, iron age, 1960's, 2012, 2233, yesterday...etc. So after 4 minutes you should have 4 full categories which you can use to create a game idea, "but how?" you ask. The next part is the random part, simply take one word from each category at random and force yourself to put them into a scenario. Once again do this as quickly as possible without thinking to engage only the creative part of your brain. Remember, games are not real so anything goes!
It is not vital to have excellent drawing skills (although it wouldn't do any harm), the important thing is that you get your idea out of your head so you can show it to other people in order to get feedback or even just for yourself to see your idea in a physical form.
Artists create the visual elements of a game, such as characters, scenery, objects, vehicles, surface textures, clothing, props, and even user interface components. Artists also create concept art and storyboards which help communicate the proposed visual elements during the pre-production phase.
Concept artists usually begin with traditional materials (eg pen and paper) and progress onto computer software.
The Concept Artist sketches ideas for the game worlds, characters, objects, vehicles, furniture, clothing and other content. They also suggest level designs, colour schemes, and the mood and feel of the game. They are usually very good at perspective drawing and architecture. Although not involved in creating the actual game art, their concept will determine the look of many aspects of the game.

Rio Tinto will donate $1 million to assist flood victims following the devastating Christmas-New Year floods in Queensland. Rio Tinto will contribute $700,000 to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal and $300,000 directly to Emerald charities and organisations. The floods have been described as the worst in Queensland's recorded history, triggered by monsoonal rains after months of significant rainfall across the State. Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in the central Queensland towns of Emerald, Condamine, Theodore and the regional town of Rockhampton.
Rio Tinto Energy chief executive Doug Ritchie said: "We are committed to supporting our local communities." "In making this $1 million donation we want to give a hand to those who have been evacuated from their homes or who have had their homes damaged in flood-affected areas of Queensland," Mr Ritchie said. "These are difficult times for many Queenslanders, especially occurring around Christmas and New Year. Our employees are part of the communities around our operations so we're pleased to be able to provide some direct support into Emerald. We note many other companies have pledged their financial support to flood victims, and hope that our donation will continue to encourage others to dig deep and assist during this time of need." On 29 December Rio Tinto declared force majeure on sales contracts at all four of its coal mines in Queensland because of the flood and rain impact.
In addition to the financial assistance, workers from Rio Tinto's Kestrel coal mine near Emerald are continuing to help community efforts in the flood-stricken area. The Kestrel Mine ceased operating on 28 December after road and rail access were cut by floodwaters. Immediately afterwards many of its employees began helping out in their local flood-affected community.
Kestrel Mine General Manager Operations John Coughlan said: "In the days leading up to the Nogoa River peaking on 31 December and causing widespread flooding and water inundation throughout Emerald, our employees have been providing support to people in and around town, helping to sandbag homes and assisting people in moving. "We flew in 10,000 sandbags and additional rolls of black plastic last week when Emerald ran out of supplies, and our employees worked throughout Thursday night continuing to sandbag and seal buildings, including the Avalon nursing home where 100 aged people live and could not be moved. "We have been providing direct assistance to the State Emergency Service (SES) in areas where they have been overwhelmed by the demand for help, and we will continue to do this during the clean-up in the days and weeks ahead."
Just weeks before the floods, Rio Tinto Coal Australia made a $10,000 Christmas donation to the SES in Queensland in lieu of mailing Christmas cards to stakeholders. The SES was selected as a recipient ahead of wet weather forecasts for summer, and the SES chose to put the donation towards the purchase of a new self-contained forward command communications trailer to help them communicate by mobile phone, radio or satellite phone in emergencies.

Until today, few people likely thought of a sanitation worker as a victim of the Jamar Clark shooting in Minneapolis in November 2015. But today’s City Pages article on what happened to one of them — Alan Ditty — is a disturbing piece of journalism.
The coverage of the aftermath of the mass killing in Orlando is following a well-worn path — we’ve gotten pretty good at developing the template in these sorts of things.
By around this time next month we’ll be knee-deep in pitches for us to buy new cars.

Maintaining a safe environment at home for elderly individuals is usually of priority for family and caregivers. The following resources offer viable solutions for modifying the house to make it safer for the aging individual in the home.
Are Sleeping Problems Part of Aging?
Many of us consider sleeping troubles as simply a part of the aging process. In fact, it is not at all. Studies indicate that the aging body requires only a minimal amount of sleep. However, insomnia and severe sleeping disorders in the elderly tend to be a result of medication side effects, poor sleeping habits, sleeping disorders that have gone untreated, and other medical conditions. Even though it is not a direct problem, it can cause other serious issues when attempting to “age in place” in the home.
The aging individual, or their adult children, needs to fully evaluate the problems associated by not getting enough sleep at night. Not handling the problem directly can create significant issues when the person lives in a home unsupervised by others. They should consider eldercare, where an individual visits the home on a daily basis to help the aging individual with basic and extensive needs.
The services of a home care company is an ideal solution for any aging member of the family that no longer has the ability to care for their own needs, and requires the skills of another. Instead of moving that individual into a nursing home, the family can consider hiring a personal care assistant, a skilled nurse or a home care specialist.
The home health aide can assist the aging individual at maintaining a daily routine. They can assist them in effectively monitoring their medications and ensure that they are waking up and going to bed at the correct times. They can help them groom and bathe, prepare their meals, clean their house, and keep them active throughout the day. The aide can help monitor their mental and physical activities including therapy routines, reading, walking, playing cards, writing or other things to keep their mind and body active.
A personal care aide can also help by transporting them to the doctor, to the pharmacy, social events, religious activities and other places. They can make reports on medical conditions, and help the elderly individual maintain a schedule.
While it is true that many caregivers for the elderly can be stressed out and eventually burned out, it is much easier on the family members to have their own load lessened. This will allow the adult children and grandchildren to spend their time providing loving companionship and social interaction with their aging parents and grandparents.

Physicists have discovered the reason why even operas sung in English are hard to follow. A study has found that in order for sopranos to be heard above the sound of a large symphony orchestra, they tune into resonances in their vocal tract to amplify the sound at the high end of their range.
Although this enables them to make a sound that can fill the Albert Hall, it sacrifices intelligibility because the vowels sung by sopranos in full voice all sound the same.
The discovery, reported today in Nature, was made by Dr John Smith, Elodie Joliveau and Prof Joe Wolfe at the University of New South Wales, Australia. "For sopranos, the price of being heard is a loss in comprehensibility," said Dr Smith.
The physicists studied nine sopranos with an average classical training of nine years and followed up the suspicion that the singers used a resonance effect to boost high notes. "The evidence for this is that they tend to open the mouth and smile more as they sing successively higher notes," Dr Smith said.
The vocal tract (including tongue and mouth) has several resonances that boost or amplify sounds produced in the larynx and the team measured the frequencies of resonances as the sopranos sang ascending scales. In the top half of their range (but not the bottom half), the singers did indeed tune one of the resonances to match the pitch they were singing, producing more sound for the same effort.
But the vowels end up sounding nearly the same, which makes words more difficult to understand, while consonants are affected to different degrees. "The tuning of resonances from their normal values means that different sounds such as la, lore, loo, ler and lee sound very much alike in the high register," said Dr Smith.
"What we've shown is that trained sopranos boost the sound from their vocal chords by 'tuning' or adjusting the shape of their vocal tract so it matches the pitch they are singing," said Prof Wolfe.
"The effect is a little like the amplifying effect you get by singing in the bathroom," he said, adding that even if this did not occur, "the vowels would be hard to distinguish because there just isn't enough frequency information at that high pitch." He added: "It's possibly one reason why local opera houses use surtitles even when the words to an opera are in English."
The effect has been remarked on before, notably by the 19th century French composer Berlioz, whose book about orchestration even warns opera composers to take it into account.
Before attending an opera it is wise to read the text.
As it turns out, the soprano is usually given something less than the main part of the story line so it doesn't matter whether you understand what she's saying.
I have been a vocal coach to a number of folks (including a couple of names you'd recognize). I try to remind them that since there are 5 vowels and 21 consonants in the English language, that only singing the vowels does not convey information.
The "music" is in the vowels.
The "information"is in the consonants.
(Plus, since most consonants are formed with the mouth closed or partially closed, one must emphasize the consonants in the singer's head so that the overall effect sounds "right" to the listener.
Thanks for the post, blam - brings back memories.
I often find it hard to distinguish the accent of a singer (e.g. it's sometimes hard to tell an American from a Brit), and I wondered why that was. Now I know. Much of an accent has to do with vowels, and if they all sound the same, then it would be hard to distinguish accents.
But what is the reason behind popular music.
Another thing. Opera singers look better from the cheap seats. They look less fat, and all you see is the stage makeup.
I tried going a few times, the expensive tickets, and fancy dress. BORING! (And I can sit listneing to orchestral music for 2 hours without complaint.
Opera is the jack of all trades (singing, acting, costuming, orchestral music, dancing) and the master of none.
"For sopranos, the price of being heard is a loss in comprehensibility," said Dr Smith.
and Badda Bing, Badda Boom, all of a sudden his hearin' clears up nice. Capish?
Was there a question buried somewhere in that statement?
Even without the resonance issues, opera singers generally round out their vowels so as to get volume at the expense of intellegibility. Vowels like the long "O" or long "E" tend to be sung more like a schwa or a short "I".
Every year I go into Boston and listen to the Messiah, all of the tenors and sopranos sound like they are being roasted over a hot fire, singing beyond their range.
Saw this and thought of you ping.
I once bought a libretto for "Madame Butterfly" which had the Italian and English neatly lined up line-by-line, with the first page of Italian on page 1, the first page of English on page 2, the second page of Italian on page 3, etc.
How do people publish such brilliancies?
That's what my voice coach said, too. Consonants get lost right away. You have to hit them hard if anything is to get out. Vowels are fine. You come to appreciate a vocalist who takes the trouble to hammer the consonants for the audience.
It depends on the language. Operas sung in German are easier to understand because it is a much more articulate language. English is not a great language for singing.Soprano Anna Moffo is very easy to understand. Some singers just slur more.
I don't understand most opera lyrics- but I never, never have trouble understanding Gilbert and Sullivan.
Actually good diction is not about overdoing the consonants in an "affected" way (you know what I mean -- exploded "t"s and so forth) as much as it is doing it consciously and in a large group doing it exactly the same way and exactly at the same time.
Goes for public speaking as well as singing. We as a people tend to be quite lazy with our diction.
This is not news. The louder one sings the more the vowels flatten out. Also the higher.
Verdi and the other bel canto composers always put very light orchestrations under crucial passages they wanted to be sure would be understood.
The "text" is irrelevant in opera.
I'm a big Gilbert and Sullivan fan also.Oh bliss, oh rapture! Oh rapture, oh bliss!

Veronica Darling: OK OK, the best tights ever!
OMG, here's what I look like at 30 weeks pregz!
I'm so proud of him that his work has taken off, he's in demand and we're saving money (for let's face it, we have a deadline coming up that could majorly change our financial situation)... but when you're working for yourself, there's so much more to think about! The poor darling has hardly time to invoice, so voila! I employed myself as his bookkeeper and am learning online software so our accountant doesn't go ballistic at us! "BORING!" you're yelling at me, right? I'm such a nerd about some things... I love being the bookkeeper.
ANYWAYS, Husbie finally took some time out so we could have a little holiday AND he took some photos of me in Newtown, wearing my darling darling darling friend Emina's orange bamboo tights.
Yep, she makes the best tights (and these ones are on special at the moment!) and sells them at her darling darling darling store OK OK in Sparta Place, off Sydney Road in Brunswick. I also bought some woolie ones, some ribbed ones, and some ... brown/tan ones that look great with floral stuff... so if you're stuck for original looking tights this winter, Emina has a pair for you. When I was in last week, she was having a clearance sale on clothing, but if you check up with her Facebook updates, you'll see what's going down as she always has great stuff going down.
But you know I've blogged about Emina at OK OK before, especially because she stocks the best range of .... MELISSA SHOES. I'm wearing my brogues Melissa's here in the photo too! The dress is a Country Road (wait for it) dress I found at the op shop, that appears to be a normal batwing dress, but is PERFECT for my roundness and shortness... I am wearing a cowl scarf with it (a scoop loop cowl of course!) and I was surprised for in Sydney (during the day) ... one does not need a jacket! OMG!

Arsenal's Spanish midfielder, Mikel Arteta, who was forced off the field in the eight minute of the Gunners' 1-2 defeat to Wigan, has been ruled out of the rest of the season. The central midfielder's absence creates serious problems for manager Arsene Wenger, ahead of his side's critical derby clash against Chelsea, on Saturday, at the Emirates.
The Spanish midfielder twisted his ankle while trying to cross the ball in the game against Wigan, resulting in him being temporarily withdrawn from the field for treatment. Arsenal were not given stoppage time during this period and Wigan took full advantage of their momentary numerical superiority to net their second and game-winning goal.
Although Wenger did not seem very happy about this, he was more concerned about Arteta's injury.
"It is an ankle problem. It looks quite a serious one. It is too early to say tonight. But it doesn't look a little ankle sprain. It is a serious one," the Metro quoted Wenger as saying earlier.
The scans revealed no serious ligament damage (in the ankle) but Arteta has still been ruled out for the final weeks of the season, during which Arsenal will play Chelsea, Stoke City, Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion.
The injury adds to Wenger's woes; the Frenchman is already without a number of first-team players, including the influential Jack Wilshere and players like Abou Diaby and Per Mertesacker. Additionally, on-loan midfielder Yossi Benayoun cannot play because of a clause in his contract (Benayoun is on loan from Chelsea). The only reasonable option seems to be to play Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky alongside Alex Song.
The game against Chelsea will be critical because of the defeat Arsenal suffered in their last game. If they lose to the Blues, the Gunners risk conceding their hold on a Champions League position for next year to both Tottenham and Newcastle.
Arteta transferred to Arsenal, from Everton, for a £10 million fee and has scored seven goals in a total of 31 league appearances.

A great fun evening. Check out the routes!
Short course winner Graham paying for his exertions!
First off, thanks to Mark Lockett for his considerate "offer" to collect in the controls...!
This strange new format is now becoming more familiar to a small but growing band of people. One notable advantage is the ability to review routes on Routegadget over a pint immediately after in the event in the pub adjoining the event base (see photo)!
I was particularly excited about putting on this event as with it being on my doorstep, I was well aware of the area's potential for an urban event. One finisher opined "this area was made for orienteering", having initially got to grips with and then been left bamboozled by the myriad paths, open areas, dead ends and route choices.
Though the north section of the map had been used in its OCAD guise for a variety of urban events, it had always surprised me that the south bit (Upper Holway) had been overlooked. The open source mapping provided a decent base map but I did need to update it extensively. Something for those interested in planning to bear in mind- using an existing map saves a lot of time. Though we orienteers do like our novelty, so please feel free to update your own local / favourite map.
Thanks to Roger and Judy Craddock for organising and to several competitors who offered constructive feedback.
PS- three peoples' scores now amended to reflect the delay or points they missed at control no. 20.
Best 2 scores to count from the 3 event mini-series.
Prize- the Night Owl trophy (pictured). All runners eligible, regardless of whether they run the long or the short course.
Gavin Clegg ran the long course, which was roughly a third longer than the short course. His score of 750 therefore increased to 1000. The standard orienteering age/ gender handicap factor was then applied to his score, as it was for all other competitors below.
Maybe we should be encouraging more entries in this category?
MapRun doesn't need kites, control units or dibbers. All users need is the smartphone app.
Immediately after your run, you can upload your score and time to the web and compare how you did with others.
Read more about MapRun and the app in our dedicated section here.
We'd be really grateful if you could let us know if you're coming, to help us determine map numbers.
Produced from Open Orienteering Maps. See map excerpt above. It contains more detail than a basic 'stick' map of the streets, but less detail than OCAD maps. Please note the blue used in rivers and streams doesn't look too different to the green used for woods.
Forbidden routes will be marked by a purple cross or a series of these, most obviously for safety and access reasons.
They are occasionally used to exclude from your route choice an option which doesn't present a technical challenge i.e. a long straight road.
The priority for all entrants should be to return safely.
We are using predominantly residential areas with 30mph speed limits. These areas are sometimes bounded by faster roads, which there should be no need to cross.
Suggested (but not compulsory) crossing points (the symbol is two purple curved lines) are marked on the map.
Forbidden routes are marked with purple crosses.
The above two symbols can look similar- take care!
Barriers - public fences and walls should not be crossed unless they can be without climbing and danger of injury to competitor or damage to the barrier.
Please show courtesy and understanding towards those you encounter on your run. A friendly 'hello' can often smooth the way.
You must take a paper map with you and should not rely on the onscreen map, which may not be the most up-to-date version of the map.
All participants must return to the assembly point before course closure time of 8pm, even if they have not completed their run. Results must be uploaded to the server at that point.
Under 16s taking part must be accompanied by an adult at all times on the course.
Each event starts from a pub/restaurant, giving you the option of unwinding after your run.
Parking at the Master Thatcher pub, Liseux Way, Taunton TA1 2PD (pictured).
The pub have kindly allocated us parking at the far end of the car park to the rear, where we also anticipate basing our welcome/registration- look out for the yellow QO banner.
Please do not use any other part of the car park.
Should we run out of parking spaces at the pub, the shopping parade (with a Tesco Express) opposite has plenty of free spaces for customers' use.
Two courses are offered, Long and Short, using exactly the same controls.
Both are "Score" courses, meaning there isn't a set order to the controls you visit.
Short Score- the order of the controls you want to visit is entirely up to you.
Long Score- there are two sets of controls, one set tackled after the other. Once you switch to the second set, you cannot go back to the first set.
The optimum routes are typically 9k for the long and 6.5k for the short.
Each course has a time limit of 50 minutes.
Points will be deducted at a rate of 30 points per minute for each minute or part minute you're late back.
Points values for controls are variable and denoted by the first number of the control, e.g. 62 scores 60 points.
The control circles on the map are coloured red on one set and blue on the other- the colours are meaningful only for the Long score.
For those who took part in our QOADs series, the Long score uses essentially the same scoring system.
Your phone should beep when you get within 10m of the "control".
Occasionally, your GPS signal may drift- you may have to wait a few moments for it to 'catch up'.
Our GPS controls tend to be located on lamp posts where the GPS controls work well. Wooden telegraph poles, signs and other street furniture, fences, bridges and play or sports equipment in parks may also be used. Those controls that are not on lamp posts will be listed on the map and on control description sheets.
Please print off and fill in our standard registration form in advance (or email it to us) as we are trying to keep the event organisation low key.
Ignore the boxes about 'SI' unless you are hiring a club phone, in which case fill in the details we usually request off those hiring SI dibbers.
£5 - for both adults and juniors with accompanying adult.
On payment you will be given a PIN code which will activate the course on the app.
We have four tried and tested Alcatel club smartphones available for hire on a first come, first served basis. Please contact the organiser in advance to reserve one.
Start times from 17.00 to 19.00.
You effectively have a choice between running in partial daylight or in the dark.
Suburb of Taunton with good variation in terrain, featuring maze-like estates with excellent path networks and open green space as well as parks, scrub and a sports ground. The car speed limit does not exceed 30mph throughout the area.
There are some busy main roads, particularly the one running past the pub which continues in a vaguely north-south direction and the road running past the sports centre to the east. Please take extra care crossing these roads and consider using the crossing points marked on the map.
For those who enjoy getting off the paths and taking direct routes across the ubiquitous grass, please note there are steep unmapped banks alongside parts of Chestnut Drive, the main road bisecting the southern half of the map N-S.
The are to the south has several unmapped flights of steps.
The areas of scrub to the south of the sports centre (Blackbrook Pavilion, to the east) can feel quite isolated in darkness, some of the paths can be muddy and there is undergrowth in the open areas. You may wish to avoid it. You will only miss out on one control (worth 20 points) if so.
Slippy, grassy slopes are a common feature. There is potentially a small ditch to jump that forms the eastern border of the Sports centre grounds.
The Finish control is in the middle of the pub car park. It is most safely accessed by a path (mapped) running alongside the pub.
The Master Thatcher advertises itself as being child and dog friendly.
It has toilets for customer use only plus free WiFi.

Given its four distinct spaces, spread across the ground floor of Hotel Hotel, you have to be very unlucky to find nowhere to sit at Monster Bar. If you’re a nook-person (and a book person), we’d suggest making a beeline for the fireside library seats, right by the hotel’s Edinburgh Avenue entrance. For a more formal experience, head into the Mosaic Room, which has parent-friendly padded chairs, another fireplace and beautiful mosaic flooring (hence the name). Wherever you sit, the good news is you can order food till 1am here. We suggest you specifically order the yabby jaffle with crème fraîche and horseradish. It’s become something of a mascot for the bar – perfect, classy comfort food.
At dinner they focus on fresh and local, so the menu items rotate quickly (except for that jaffle) – you’ll notice an emphasis on low and slow cooking here. It’s not exactly Texas barbecue, but you can get fall-apart lamb shoulder, short rib and pork hock. The wine list is compelling – it mixes Canberra drops with a more global outlook, including a dedicated section for natural and skin contact wines. If you’re more of a cocktail person, the classics are all here, along with a rotating selection of house specials. You can also do breakfast here. If you’ve stayed in the bar till closing, checked into a room upstairs and are in need of an instant revival, their pork belly and fried egg brekky – with a Bloody Mary on the side for good measure – should see you through.

In the popular imagination, home air conditioners come in just two types: the window AC unit, and the central AC that connects to a network of ducts that snake through the walls to vents. But these aren’t the only two options available. There is a type of air conditioning that falls between the two, delivering the direct cooling of a window unit but with the efficiency and power of a central air conditioning system. It’s called a ductless AC, or a ductless mini split system.
Installing a ductless air conditioner is not the right choice for all homes—but it is the right choice for many homes. To find out if your house is suited for the benefits of ductless air conditioners, call All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning. We are also available to help homes that are already enjoying ductless air conditioning with any repair or maintenance needs they may have. We are here to help you find the best home cooling solution.
If you are interested in installation of ductless air conditioning, or if you need service for a ductless system, call on the Boca Raton, FL specialists at All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning.
What Does Ductless Air Conditioning Involve?
The reason that ductless ACs are also called ductless mini splits is that they use the same split system of indoor/outdoor cabinets as standard air conditioners, but instead of a single large indoor unit, they have multiple smaller air handlers placed throughout the rooms. Each of these air handlers contains a blower fan and evaporator coil, and they connect through the back of the wall to the central cabinet outside. Refrigerant runs through the coil and the blower fan sends out conditioned air into the room. Ducts aren’t required at any stage of the process.
Energy efficiency: Because ductless mini splits use smaller fans instead of one large one, they consume less electricity than standard central air conditioners. The lack of ducts also increases their efficiency, since they don’t gain heat along stretches of the ducts or risk losing air pressure through leaks.
Improved indoor air quality: The ductwork in a home turns into a reservoir for airborne contaminants that escape normal cleaning. A system that uses no ducts at all will not contribute to sending these pollutants around a house.
Zone control: The air handlers in a ductless mini split system can be controlled separately from each other. You only need to cool down the rooms that need cooling, which both helps save money and allows people in the house to enjoy personalized comfort wherever they are.
Space–saving: For new home construction and remodeling, going ductless frees you up from the space constraints of ductwork.
Although ductless cooling is easier to install than a conventional central AC, it is still not easy. You must have professionals take on the work, as well as figure out the proper size of system and how many air handlers you will require. All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning can take care of this job for you, and we are always here to help you with any repairs or maintenance your ductless system may require. We are your Boca Raton, FL ductless air conditioner specialists.

"Playing it safe is the riskiest course of all."
Here are a few things I've been writing and pondering lately. Enjoy this week's issue and if you're feeling inspired, pass it on.
Busy work is stressful. Meaningful work is satisfying.
There will be more distractions than ever in 2017. It's up to you to strip away the busy work and focus on what matters. It'll be more satisfying and way less stressful.
Years ago, a mentor told me a story about NFL quarterback Joe Montana. He wasn’t the fastest guy on the field and didn’t have the strongest arm, but he saw the field in slow motion. It was his unfair advantage.
Empathy depends on your ability to overcome your own perspective, appreciate someone else’s, and step into their shoes. Self-control is essentially the same skill, except that those other shoes belong to your future self—a removed and hypothetical entity who might as well be a different person. So think of self-control as a kind of temporal selflessness. It’s Present You taking a hit to help out Future You.
This is a great article from Bill Taylor at the Harvard Business Review about how Domino's made a better pizza, transformed into a tech company, took some huge risks and 18x'd their stock price.
Two of the great ills of executive life are what [Domino's CEO Patrick Doyle] calls, borrowing from behavioral economics, “omission bias” and “loss aversion.” Omission bias is the tendency to worry more about doing something than not doing something, because everyone sees the results of a move gone bad, and few see the costs of moves not made. Loss aversion describes the tendency to play not to lose rather than play to win. “The pain of loss is double the pleasure of winning,” he argues, so the natural inclination is to be cautious, even in situations that demand creativity.
Leaders who want to shake things up have to be comfortable with the idea that “failure is an option,” Doyle concludes. In a world of hyper-competition and nonstop disruption, playing it safe is the riskiest course of all.
A great post from DuckDuckGo CEO and founder Gabriel Weinberg. Enjoy.
A mental model is just a concept you can use to help try to explain things (e.g. Hanlon’s Razor — “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by carelessness.”). There are tens of thousands of mental models, and every discipline has their own set that you can learn through coursework, mentorship, or first-hand experience.

There are lots of different factors are there which would make your hair to loss. It may be due to increase in the level of your stress, anxiety and the irregular life style and other improper diet habits. To come out from such a kind of problem you can make use of traditional Chinese medicine which can really help you. It is because the condition of your hair had been believed to get reflected up with the state of key aspects of your health.
Some believe that the traditional Chinese medicine can be effectively helping when you are treating your hair loss under the different underlying conditions that causes the hair loss. The traditional Chinese medicine hair loss treatment mainly focuses on creating the balance and harmony in the body through strengthening up the blood and causing balance to the hormones through restoring Qi and directing the blood to the scalp.
The TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) suggest that your liver would stores up the blood and it would circulate the blood to the sides as well as to the top of your head. When the liver gets stressed up under pressure this would dysfunction and decrease up the level of the blood flow to the head and this acts as the main reason why the hair thinning and grayness found in that region.
The kidney would dominate the growth as well as the development of your body that includes the hair. When someone has the strong kidney essence then your hair would be shiny, thick and strong.
How can you overcome from that?
To overcome form that there is a need for you to follow the dietary plan that is rich in the fatty acid, mineral and proteins for that there you can also undergo the herbal therapy. Several different types of the Chinese herbs can be used for underlying the hair loss. For the development and improvement of the scalp circulation there is a need for the primary and preventive measures.
Another treatment that you can able to use for developing the growth of the hair in Chinese medicine hair includes the acupuncture for hair loss. Through this you can able to correct the imbalance that had been found in the hormones. When the imbalance had been corrected sure the root cause of the hair loss can be controlled and this would pave a way for the new hair growth and makes your hair to grow stronger.

As construction week continues, today’s article features Case Backhoe Rentals and spotlights an authorized Case, Kubota, and Pettibone construction equipment rental and agricultural equipment dealer: Mckeel Equipment Company, servicing Western Kentucky, Northwest Tennessee, and Southern Illinois.
For the past twenty years, rental has been the virtual lifeblood of our construction equipment business at McKeel Equipment. But, that wasn’t always the case. We began, over 75 years ago, as an outlet for the region’s agricultural community. But, as the years went by, with loader backhoes and small dozers, we slowly started venturing into the construction industry.
Although it’s by no means new to the market, the loader backhoe continues to be the number one choice on jobsites, when it comes to construction equipment rentals. Combining digging and loading capabilities with the mobility a loader backhoe offers can turn many aspects of dirt work into a one man show. No equipment manufacturer understands this better than Case.
Case introduced the first factory-integrated loader backhoe in 1957, and with the recent introduction of the “Stronger Everywhere” N-Series, they’re sure to remain the industry leader for years to come. Dramatic increases are found in loader breakout force, lift and reach, along with backhoe breakout force and Case-exclusive Power Lift provides almost 40 percent greater backhoe lift than leading competitive models. The new machines also provide substantially improved visibility and operator comfort.
Mckeel Equipment Company is an official Case, Kubota, and Pettibone Dealer. Visit Case Construction at Con-Expo for a look at the N-Series, as well as the completely redesigned Alpha Series skid steer and compact track loaders.

Probably my favorite Amiga 1000 3rd-party expansion device made back when the computer was fresh and new was the Microbotics Starboard2.
The Starboard2 was - and is - simply an amazing piece of 3rd-party hardware, originally released in 1986. The device offered a whopping (yes, whopping) 2MB of auto-configuring “zero wait state” RAM. Plug and play - it just worked perfectly. There were actually 512KB and 1MB versions, too, but come on now. In addition, it came housed in a very substantial and solid metal housing, painted to closely match the Amiga’s case. And best of all it sported smooth rounded corners, a near-match to the Amiga’s case as well as the Amiga 1010 external FDD. Just gorgeous and well designed.
Think about it. The Amiga 1000 shipped with a paltry 256KB. Sure, that seemed like a decent amount when stacked next to a much less expensive C128, but in reality it didn't get you very far. Consumers were practically forced to buy the front RAM expansion to get their machines up to .5 MB of chip (and were encouraged to do so at dealerships).
But slapping the Starboard2 to the side expansion suddenly rocketed the machine to a glutinous 2.5 MB total. That is a seriously stout amount for the time - and even for today for most jobs.
Now check this out: the Microbotics Starboard2 was also expandable. Not only could you stack a second board onto the first one - giving you a mind-blowing 4MB total RAM - It had 2 internal add-on options to further extend your Amiga 1000’s capabilities. Note: you could only use one or the other in a given Starboard2, not both simultaneously.
Option 1, boringly and bafflingly named the Multifunction Module, gave you a 68881 @ 14Mhz and a battery backed up clock. It also had this interesting if novel “StickyDisk” feature which provided a re-bootable RAM disk. It should have been named the StarWarp or something, right?!
I mention all of this because I just acquired an incredible Starboard2 specimen expanded with a StarDrive. I’ve had a Starboard2 in the past but sold it after acquiring one of MKL’s 8MB 68000 RAM boards. It became redundant. But I could see instantly that this Starboard2 was unique; something I’d never seen in person before or even online except in the Big Book of Amiga Hardware.
The stock Starboard2 simply slaps onto the side of you A1000 and auto configures on boot-up. It’s instant and awesome. I assumed the same with this expanded version.
After loading KS 1.3, I inserted WB 1.3 and right where the RAM gets assigned in the startup-sequence (right before the clock gets loaded) my machine would hang. Every. Single. Time. No matter what I tried. Worth noting I did not have a hard drive hooked up yet.
Then I started to wonder: Did the StarDrive require a special installation disk to use it? There is literally nothing online about a any type of disk or accompanying software.
So I contacted the only other person on the planet that I know who not only has a StarDrive, but he uses it regularly: Blake Patterson. His Amiga 1000 is fairly legendary on Flickr. He sports the Starboard2/StarDrive + a gorgeous MicroNet hard drive (I believe I’ve seen him daisy-chain two of them before).
So I pinged him. He had - and sent me ADFs of - the original Starboard2 disk, and the StarDrive installation disk! He went a step further and shot me his highly customized WB 1.3 disk, which I’ll talk about later. Note: His WB disk was created via the StarDrive software, and sharing it in no way whatso-F-ing-ever breaks any kind of licensing by sharing them. They can only be used by owners of StarDrives which appear to be extremely rare to say the least.
The Starboard2 Setup is really a memory testing disk. The StarDrive Setup, however, is absolutely essential in getting the expansion to work. At all. And it completely replaces your original Workbench disk. So if you don't have the StarDrive disk, you aren't going to boot when you are first getting started. Kind of crazy, really, but that's how it works. It provides options to setup an attached SCSI hard drive, or exit to a trimmed down version of WB 1.2.
It also has a very long, very thorough on-disk manual, where you learn Microbotics - like GVP and others - created their own scsi device driver, which is integral to the entire process working correctly.
You put in your KS disk. Then you put in the custom WB. It sends assigns over to the attached hard drive and finishes loading WB on the HDD. As such, once loaded you can pop out your WB floppy and use the machine like a HDD equipped Amiga (because it is!). You still have to boot with floppies, but you get all of the benefits of a HDD attached to an Amiga 1000. Simply awesome. The old-school way, like it’s 1986, and you’re the king.
But here’s where it gets a little weird for me.
I couldn’t load up a stock WB 1.3 floppy with my StarDrive attached. I had not hooked up a HDD yet. It appears that in order for the machine to boot, I have to have a HDD attached, mounted, formatted and partitioned for the machine to behave properly. After I do that, I have to use the StarDrive software to create a custom WB boot disk. And, the hardware and software is so old it will create a disk in 1.2. Somehow Blake modified his to 1.3.
I’ll have to see if I can figure out how he did that at some stage. I have a feeling if I can move the custom scsi device drivers over to a WB 1.3 disk, I should be in business. This is how the Phoenix setup wound up working.
My plan is to hook up a SCSI2SD board for my HDD for this setup. I’m currently waiting for an adapter so I can attach the drive to the StarDrive port. So I’m in a bit of a holding pattern. But very excited (and hopeful) I can get it working.
Blake Patterson’s machine is the goal for my stock 1000. Check this amazing photo out (and do check out Blake’s awesome photography on Flickr).
The ultimate goal. PHOTO CREDIT: Blake Patterson.
I will be submitting those files to BBoAH, too.
Nice write up. I wonder what this was worth at release?
I wonder what this was worth at release?
That's a really good question. It was worth a lot.
According to advertising, the price(s) may surprise you.
If you were to buy the Starboard2 in 1987, it had several variations. Keep in mind these are 1987 dollars. So you can approximately double them for 2018 values.
The Starboard2, with 2MB of RAM installed, was $879. You could have bought it without any RAM for $395 (if you had to budget yourself, and get it piecemeal).
Reality check: In 1987, an Amiga 500 cost $699. So the Starboard2, with 2MB installed, cost more than an Amiga 500. Incredible.
In addition, if you had the MultiFunction Module added, it was only an additional $99. If you bought the Starboard2 + 2MB RAM + MultiFunction Module you got it for a discounted total of $959.
By today's standards, these were Apple prices.
Great reminder here of how expensive RAM was back then.
This got me to thinking about the 32K memory expansion board I talked my parents into getting me for my TI-99/4A‘s Peripheral Expansion Box [more info at MainByte here]. I got it in 1983 and I recall it cost $299. For 32K. (Kilobytes, not megabytes.) My current main computer, a Power Mac dual G5 2.5GHz, has 2.5GB of RAM. That’s 80,000 times more memory than the memory expansion board I had for my TI. That 2.5 GB cost me maybe $400. I did the math and discovered that if the G5’s 2.5GB of RAM were purchased in 1983, the cost would have been $23,920,000.
One nice thing about the Starboard2 was that it could be put into the 2000 with a Microbotics Zorro adapter board. You plugged the Starboard2 into it and hooked up one clip lead and that was it! It is still in my working 2000. Sadly, I don't know where the case went when I upgraded and I regret it because I'd like to get the 1000 back in fighting trim. I wish now that I had left it on the 1000 but, as you say, memory was very expensive then and I was a very young (read, "poor") kid.
I just recently found one of these in an estate sale. They have the StarBoard2 and the StarDrive expansion is still in the original box. I fitted it into the Starboard but hadn't tried it yet, figuring I would need a disk. Thank you very much for archiving them!

Do we have the firewall management in Classic OVH VPS because Anti-DDOS pro is not included in that?
Can I block UDP based attacks?
Yes, you have access to the firewall and the ddos protection.
I'll confirm this again with you. On the website it shows that the Classic OVH VPS just comes with Anti-DDOS where as Dedicated Cloud comes with Anti-DDOS pro. So does that mean the firewall management is included in the simple Anti-DDOS as well? I'm looking for a way to block UDP attacks.
Can we manage firewall settings in the Classic OVH VPS to manage DDOS attacks that possibly go through?
Does the OVH vps line have permanent mitigation? If so, can we transfer our sys failover ip's to it?
yes, VPSes have permament mitigation if that's what you want, but also the option for automatic. They also have the full featured control on the Network Firewall, just like dedicated servers.
IPs from SYS can only be move to dedicated server at OVH, not VPSes.
The SYS panel doesn't have any configuration option in regarding of the anti-ddos protection. I can't tell about the KS manager, never seen it, but I guess it would be pretty much the same.
In the OVH manager, you can set how the anti-ddos works (automatic, permanent or disabled) and setup the network firewall.
Just had a look in my SYS panel and can't see anything like that, I'm pretty sure the protection is the same KS gets.
In the normal SYS range, do you get any Anti-DDOS customization panel where you can make slight adjustments or is it automated just like KS?
So what if we take the BETA one, would we have to reorder when it goes out actually or would the payment cycle just change?
The server expires completely and you have to order a brand new one (if they have any in stock), so you lose any configuration you have done, plus the ip address will change each time.
Secondly, I get attacked by a simple UDP packet and my software firewall completely blocks it. The only problem is that it's so big that the port is choked. Port: 27015 gets attacked and everything dies out. So this can be a potential threat to even people who run webservers, not just gameservers. Why don't they cover that?
The game range is in beta and has been for at least 8 months with no indication of when it will end, meaning you can only hire a server for a max of 14 days.
But then OVH range goes out of budget. How about the game range?
yes, OVH servers come with extra features, such as network firewall, that allows to create rules and some of them are quite specific to certain games.
why ovh doesn't provide more than 18 rule with extra cost?
- Do the normal SYS servers (e.g. essential ones) benefit from any special DDOS protection different than Kimsufi?
Sadly you cannot enable permanent mitigation and/or edit network firewall on SyS / KS servers. SyS protection pretty much identical to KS protection.
All servers from ovh.com benefit from 'pro' ddos protection, and come with permanent mitigation / firewall feature.
I've been using Kimsufi range to host game-servers on various games and to some extent they have been satisfactory enough when it comes to DDOS protection. I've received attacks on my game-server ports (UDP) and in those cases DDOS protection did not work at all, even blocking the port didn't help. I have a really good software protection on my system.
- I see the GAME range servers too and it looks they might help me, but they're still in BETA. Can I get a permanent solution?
I don't need anything else that comes with GAME range servers because I run my own software including OS modifications. All I need is something to protect me from DDOS attacks whether it's UDP or TCP, no matter what port gets attacked.

Last updated December 24th, 2018.
Cambodia’s economy will prosper over the next several years as GDP growth continues rising in the high 6% range annually.
Low labor costs compared to its competitors, increasing foreign investment, along with falling crude oil prices will contribute to Cambodia’s success story, says the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The “Asian Development Outlook” report predicted Cambodia’s GDP will achieve 7.0% in 2019 and the same number in 2020. Compare that to “only” 6.9% in 2017.
Basic sectors like tourism, agriculture, textiles, and infrastructure projects keep propelling the Cambodia economy. However, the nation is becoming more adept in all these industries and will continue moving up the value chain, says the report.
“Cambodia’s economy continues to expand at a robust pace, increasingly propelled by strong export growth, robust tourist arrivals, buoyant domestic demand, along with an expansionary fiscal policy,” said Sunniya Durrani-Jamal, Country Director for Cambodia at the ADB.
Cambodia enjoys something that few other frontier market economies do: a tourism sector. Over 2.5 million people visit Angkor Wat each year.
The textile sector is among the most important parts of Cambodia’s economy. According to the ADB, nearly three fourths of the nation’s total exports are propelled by this industry.
Cambodia’s agricultural sector, another large contributor to its economy, suffered back in 2014 because of damage caused during a long period of flooding and drought.
It’s long since recovered though. Cambodia agriculture grew by 9.2% as demand from Chinese buyers increased – likely due to the trade war with the United States.
Property, trading, and tourism sectors accounted for most of the growth in Cambodia’s service industry last year. Meanwhile, tourist arrival numbers grew more than 10% to reach six million visitors in 2018.
The ADB’s report said Cambodia should take measures to ensure tourists spend money locally instead of giving it to foreign hotels and airlines.
Cambodia’s inflation rate declined to 2.4% during the first half of 2018, significantly lower than 3.6% rate recorded in 2017.
A modest change in the price of food is the main cause for Cambodia’s falling inflation. Yet the ADB expects inflation will pick up slightly in 2019.
Furthermore, it’s now easier than ever for small and medium businesses to receive credit. The total value of outstanding bank loans in Cambodia, as well as the nation’s money supply, grew substantially between 2014 and 2018.
The report warned that more credit, combined with increasing dollarization, may heighten risk in Cambodia’s economy – especially within their burgeoning financial sector. Better regulations and oversight are needed in some industries.
Generally speaking, there’s a rather positive tone for the Cambodia economy. But the country must start diversifying its industry and exports, making a transition from a frontier market to an emerging market.
“Rapidly rising wages without increased productivity could pose a major domestic risk, eroding Cambodia’s external competitiveness, which still relies on cheap labor,” according to Sunniya.
The ADB report showed a greater number of small items, such as car wire and electronic parts, are now manufactured in Cambodia.
While the ADB noted this activity is done on too small of a scale to noticeably impact economic growth, they also believe higher value industries should eventually thrive and diversify if given enough time.
Cambodia’s economy is one of Asia’s strongest and will probably remain so for awhile. Yet the nation must diversify outside of agriculture, tourism, and low priced goods.
They’re making excellent progress toward this goal and should achieve it within the medium to long term.

In April 2016, I returned to China. I would have preferred not going back. But I had to retrieve my things. I had sent my 5 boxes of clothes, winter clothes, books and various possessions to Shanghai because I had nearly completed every step of securing a job for the 2015-2016 school year there. Ready to complete the final step of securing a visa, I mailed my belongings ahead of me. In the end, it didn't work out. My boxes of things were away from me for nearly a year.
I should have known better. In June of 2015 my visa was about to expire. I had already expressed my plans to leave Yichang and I was excited about a high paying job in Shanghai starting in August of 2015. I completed the interview stage and accepted the job by the end of May 2015. But in mid-June, the school in Shanghai was unreachable. I was told in the beginning of June that I should come to Shanghai to renew my visa but without hearing from them in the weeks leading up to the expiration date of my current visa, I was not going to book a flight to Shanghai on the the day before my visa expired. The expiration date is not a suggestion. I didn't want to face any sort of fine for overstaying my visa.
Luckily I had a plan B. In early July, I would send my boxes to Taiwan where I would be staying with my former college classmate. He had settled down there and was glad to receive me for a short time until everything got figured out.
Within just a few days of my departure for Taiwan, literally the Saturday before, I got a message from the school in Shanghai telling me that they were looking forward to my arrival on Monday. After two weeks of me trying to get a call back or any acknowledgement about where they were, I told them that I was going to Taiwan and that we would have to work out the visa situation from there. It would become infinitely more complicated now that I was not renewing a visa within China. I was applying for a new visa out the country. Rules are always changing in China and this means that the people helping foreign teachers apply for new visas are always unsure about the process.
I would wind up spending three weeks in Taiwan--one week with my friend and two weeks at a hotel. The school in Shanghai assured me that all they had to do was send a letter of invitation to me with the proper Foreign Expert Certificate which they had secured for me. I would then have to take that paperwork to the Chinese consulate in Hong Kong. I would then receive my one year multi-entry visa. I could then arrive to Shanghai and all would go smoothly. So sure that I could complete this business in Hong Kong, I was given the address of the proper office and the name of a nearby hotel to stay in while the paperwork processed in Hong Kong.
After the boxes arrived to my friend's home in Taiwan, I made the choice of unburdening him by moving to a hotel to complete this business. I needed to be centrally located downtown. I needed constant access to the Internet. I needed to have peace and quiet. Taking the boxes to my hotel in Taiwan from my friend's house was easy. I decided to send the boxes off to Shanghai ahead of me. The rest of the process was simply a matter of receiving the paperwork that would allow me to apply for the Chinese Visa.
The office in Shanghai was finally coming off of their summer vacation. I was told that the head contact, who went unreachable during those weeks leading up to my visa expiration, was absent because he was in his home country getting married. As improbably as that seemed, I had no recourse but look forward. The school head was traveling in America. But I got to talk to a really nice woman who was just back to Shanghai from another Chinese city. She was chatting with me as she landed at the airport and I felt that we had good rapport. She seemed concerned with making everything work well but she had to be updated on the situation. She told me that the paperwork was coming and I felt that I could book a ticket for Hong Kong. Still I felt it prudent to wait until I get the paperwork before making the actual booking.
This is where this plan collapsed. I received the paperwork and looked over it carefully. There was a box ticked on the paperwork which indicated that I was allowed to apply for the visa in my home country only. This meant more unplanned time and unplanned expense. I wasn't willing to pay for a last minute flight to America. These delays and expenses were due to their mishandling of the situation. The question I had was, when would this carelessness end? If these communication problems and flippant attitudes towards my costs and inconvenience happen before I even arrive to the school, what am I to expect once I have committed to the job?
I have dealt with management in China which prefers to leave me on a need to know basis and this usually means that I have to adjust to changes which I am the last to know about. The negligence seems to be by design. Even for a company so small, as to not require so many layers of communication, asking for the situation to be any other way is seen as threatening. As soon as I complain about such a situation, I get thrown to the wayside.
So I exercised my only power. I quit before I even stepped foot in the school. This was the smartest decision. As I searched for more information about this school, I naturally found other sites which advertised job openings. The monthly payment was listed as 1/3 of what I was promised. It now became painfully clear why completing the hiring process was made so terribly inconvenient.
I searched for another job among some of the links that I had saved throughout the spring and early summer. It wasn't long that I heard back and landed a job in Vietnam.
The hiring manager was elated when I told her that I could arrive in a week. Beside my hotel was a travel agent that could process my Vietnam visa in three days by sending my passport to Taipei. I was eager to get to work. Over the past 8 years, July has always been an incredibly busy month for me with full days of classes for 6 days a week. I was eager to get back to work.
The only problem was that my boxes were on route to Shanghai. Nothing in them was essential for getting my feet back on the ground in Vietnam. I was careful to bring along the essentials like my computer, degrees, some work clothes, etc.
Xenia would be joining me. And among all of the positive thoughts I was having about this move, the best one was that in Vietnam (as opposed to Shanghai) we would be able to work together and live together. Different schedules and different apartments in Shanghai could have easily spelt the end of our relationship which in Vietnam has blossomed over these past 9 months. We are closer than ever and I have never been happier. All the more reason that I could put the drama with that school in Shanghai behind me.
Yet, I knew I needed those boxes and I looked at every option. There were no moving companies that could help. UPS and FEDEX work with businesses. Other companies deal with container shipments. Private movers are interested in helping international businessmen move entire home furnishings from places like London to Singapore. No third party wants to help a humble teacher in east Asia move his five measly boxes to southeast Asia. The school would not simply mail them to me. They wanted me to pay them nearly $1,000 to have a moving company pick them up and mail them to me. Although they could not tell me which company they got this quote from. When I asked them, I wanted to know how they came up with the quote of 5,000 RMB. There was no way I was going to send them money before they sent the boxes. They had already proven themselves to be unreliable. Each time I contacted them, I was talking to a different person. They were quite wisely shifting this responsibility to someone else. How could I get frustrated with person G when it was person D who promised me something? They clearly didn't want to deal with their mistakes. And I knew that this problem would only be resolved if it required next to nothing of them. To their credit though, they did store my boxes for almost a year.
So I kept them in the back of my mind as I worked on making my life work in Vietnam. Everything was smooth and I enjoyed the winter months in the tropics. I ate healthy fresh food, enjoyed the low costs of life here, and I have never taken the ever-blue sky for granted. I have a great schedule. Compared to what I was used to in China, the work was much easier than it was in China. Also, I live with a beautiful woman who feels at home in the tropical heat. But I knew that I had to get my belongings and finally close this China chapter in my life.
There were no cheap solutions. But it was more important that I get the boxes and so I planned a trip to go pick them up myself.
Fast forward to April. I secure a visa. The only one available was a 10 year visa which allows for multiple entries for up to 60 days at a time. It cost $220. All I needed was 5 days to pick up my things and sort out anything that I didn't need anymore and then carry the rest back. This was the task and I was ready.
I would leave Vung Tau at 7 PM on Sunday night. This got me into Ho Chi Minh City at 9. I planned on hanging out at my favorite restaurant until it closed at 11:30. I would eat a nice dinner, drink a couple of beers brewed from the local brewery and even have a cab called for me. Getting to the airport at 12:30 AM, I checked in and made it to the gate an hour before my flight. No stresses or problems to count. I just listened to music before the flight.
Flying China Eastern, the plane had no in-flight entertainment, the food brought to me in the middle of the night was all high refined breads and a snickers bar. I was awoken to find it on my tray and ate nothing but the croissant which gave me the weirdest reaction. It was like my brain was wide awake as my body was still trying to sleep. The flight attendant came by with the drink cart and when I asked for apple juice she just shouted back the one word; apple juice. She could say the English word but with no sense of how English speakers use tone of voice she made it sound like I had carelessly left apple juice somewhere and she was sharply reminding me to pick it up. All of this felt very strange and was very familiar at the same time.
Then at daybreak, we were flying over water. But the water took on a strange viscosity as we continued to fly over it. The soupy black water pulsed instead of waved. The water gave way to mud which then gave way to red earth. From that arose dwellings made from the same color of the dirt. Then there were fields carved out of that. Low and flat dwellings covered the land while veins of road scratched into the land stood out brightly against the darkness. Looking outwards into the distance, the low hanging smog smearing the horizon like a pencil smudges. The low dwellings in the distance obscured by the pencil dust. The only sign of Shanghai was the skyline of the Pudong Financial district. From this vantage point, Shanghai's signature buildings were not so impressive. A city of multi-millions represented by a skyline of fewer than five sky rise buildings looking as if drawn out of smudged graphite.
I wanted to take a photo so badly. But that flight attendant who yelled at me in her most polite voice, when handing me a drink, was now nearby helping someone fill in an immigration document. She had already caught me once taking a shot with my phone. I accepted that this sight would have to go un-shot.
I landed in Shanghai. I had no specific feeling about the occasion. I had flown into China many times. But this was the first time in the past 10 years that I returned to China with no plan to stay long. Just as the morbid skyline reminded me of why I didn't want to live here. The broken escalator and the ridiculous sign reading 144 hour transfer area reminded me that this place is funny without trying.
Waiting in line at immigration, I realized that lots of people are still flooding into China on a daily basis and that SoundCloud is one of the websites that can be added to the list of banned websites in China. I was on my way to the hotel by 9AM and felt, that this being a trip of a series of hurdles, the starting pistol had been fired and I was off to a good start.
Monday morning, I checked in the hotel. It was cavernous and poorly lit and the woman at the desk was in a bad mood. I checked in and had to enter my passport number in order to use the wifi. It wouldn’t work until I called the front desk who transferred me to another office which transferred me again to their tech support who was finally able to register my password in their system after two tries. It seemed unnecessarily complex.
Now with access to the Internet, I contacted the school and my new contact person. She was at the school already and so I let her know that I would be there immediately. I booked this specific hotel because it was only a short ride to the school.
I wasted no time. I hired a taxi and told him that I am going to want him to take me back to the hotel where he picked me up. The fare turned out to be 40 RMB both ways ( about $6) and so I let him keep the change from 100RMB for the trouble of waiting at the school and helping me transport my boxes.
The school was easy enough to find. I had to wait as the secretary, at an intake office attached to the school, took her sweet time with some grandparents. When I met the person tasked with meeting me, I realized that she was none of the people I had been communicating with since last June. That was intentional and I was neither disgruntle about the job situation nor did I care who I had to deal with. I just wanted my boxes.
After shaking hands with the woman who was tasked with having to greet me, I waved to the two older guards flanking me. I told her to give ******* my best. Then I left. Sure, there were some things on my mind. But there was no place for them. I had shaven and dressed like a professional. I came for one thing. There was no drama from their side. Nothing further to say from me. If anything, I wanted them to wish things had worked out better. They lost a good teacher when they lost me. And based on how they treated me, I can guess how they treat others. It would not be surprising, if they have a hard time attracting and keeping good people. And so they don't value someone like me. They are too stupid to know what they are missing. Nothing I could say could change that. I was smart to save my energy for more important things.
I was lured into the job with a salary of $3,000 a month, which is quite comfortable in China. I was told that my interview and video resume was very strong and they were excited to welcome me to their school. I was excited about the regular school hours and the travel camps to Thailand and having the chance to be valued as a photographer for school events and such.
So why was there a communication blackout in the weeks before my visa expired? Why was I told that getting the visa was going to be a simple matter of flying into Hong Kong when in reality I found out that I had to fly all the way back to America to get the visa? The costs would have piled up and I would have seen December before I would have been able to save any of the money I made from this job.
They were testing how much of a dog I was. They wanted to know how badly they could treat me before I left. They had nothing to lose because if I did the smart thing and left, as I did, they could replace me with two younger, more malleable, and cheaper teachers.
I returned to the hotel and had the bellboy deliver the 68kg of stuff up to my room. And there I was, finally alone with my stuff. I had labeled the boxes and tore into box number 1, believing the money belt with my birth certificate was in there. Yes, one of the reasons why this trip was essential, and not a simple matter of retrieving replaceable books and shoes. I had foolishly packed my birth certificate. That paper could have easily fit in with my other important papers but somehow I overlooked it.
While in Vietnam, I visualized the money belt with the document sitting neatly in box number one. But as I tore open box number one I noticed among the books and scattered tea and broken pottery, it was not there.
I would find it in box number two, sitting on top as if I had put it in there at the last minute before sealing it up. I was elated to have it in my hand again as it may prove to me incredibly useful as I renew my passport in a couple of years.
I spent the rest of the afternoon going through the boxes. I was overjoyed to be reacquainted with some of my things. I was able to throw other things away.
I then celebrated the completion of a major part of this trip by heading to the Shanghai Brewery. In February of 2015 this became one of the places which Xenia and I loved to visit. I returned there to find the beer to be underwhelming, especially compared to The Pasteur Street Brewery in Ho Chi Minh City. I was not impressed with the price of the hamburger. $12 seems a bit excessive considering what I can get at Lucy's in Vungtau.
No matter what, Shanghai will always be a great city for street photography.
Throughout this trip I was noticing that there was very little that appealed to me about China. Although the Former French Concession has charming lane roads, nearly everything else that I love about Shanghai can be found in cities around the world in more appealing countries. As I walked the streets I was very aware how aggressive people were. They walked right into me as if i were invisible. This did not only happen to me. I saw men walk right into foreign women. In the most extreme case, there was a foreigner on a bicycle. A couple of electric scooters were zipping by and as if they were locomotives chugging along at full steam. I noticed them when I heard the man yell at the top of his lungs. They would not even slow down as they passed him causing him to veer off to the curb. He was left to curse them under his breath alone. I witnessed this and could only think how common such things were while I lived in China. Oh, how I didn't miss living here.
On the second day I organized all of the things I wanted to keep. I had an entire box full of papers and broken things that I no longer wanted to keep. I organized the books neatly and had two boxes, one of books and another of winter clothes that I could send. I then decided to go for a walk, eating at a Austrian bakery. I would then go for coffee on Yong Kang Road--a street popular for its western bars. One side of Yong Kang Road was braced with bamboo scaffolding. In fact, this street is just a short section with hole-in-the-wall storefront bars like Soi Cowboy in Thailand but without any of the salacious themed entertainment which makes Soi Cowboy so much fun. Westerners drinking happy hour margaritas for all the public to see is the least Chinese thing one can do. I would leave, choosing to not waste any time there and satisfied enough having had a nice afternoon walk after the filling meal at the Austrian restaurant.
I returned to the hotel to pack my bags to see exactly how much I could actually fit. To my delight, I over-estimated how much I would have to send. I could fit all of my books and would send the box of clothes through the post. I would leave that for the next day.
The box weighted 9kg and traveling by surface mail, which is possible via a land border, the cost was no more than $20. This came as a great relief as I paid over $400 to have the 5 boxes sent from Taiwan to Shanghai.
With the box mailed, I felt an incredible weight lifted off of my shoulders. On that morning after I mailed off the box, I went back to the hotel and fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the afternoon. Having had worked the entire weekend, then traveling all night on Sunday only to arrive Monday morning to pick up the boxes, then sort them out, reducing the boxes down to one, and then finally sending it off, I just wanted to collapse a little. A major part of this trip was completed. The logistically difficult part of the trip proved to be easy.
I had no hassles from the school. The hotel disposed of the things from the boxes that I wanted to junk. The only question was how overweight were my bags. When I eventually checked-in at the airport on Friday, I would learn that I was 10kg overweight for a total of 30kg. I had placed a one hundred dollar bill in my wallet earlier that day for this very purpose. The charge came to 680RMB which is roughly a little over one hundred dollars. The clerk at check-in was happy to take my bill to solve that issue.
On Wednesday afternoon, after I woke up, it was raining. So I enjoyed a glass of wine and dinner at the restaurant attached to the hotel. Watching the people walk by as the rain turned the streets into mirrors, I could sink into a little self-congratulations on getting to this point.
I had one more task ahead of me. I had to lighten my weight a little more. I would photograph all of the pages from the various file folders I had kept and store them on my phone so that I could turn them into digital files for my records.
One of the most important things I did during my time in China was keep regular records of my teaching. Daily lesson plans helped me keep track of my favorite methods and understand my strengths and weaknesses.
Five days alone in China were important for me to handle this final piece of business. The steps I laid out for myself made the process run smoothly and made sure I completed what I set out to do. The video work, photography, and voice memos were a way to keep a record of my thoughts that I would have otherwise shared with a friend.
While living in China, I was much less critical than a passing tourist would be. Although I never got used to the shocking things, I didn't feel a need to satirize or make fun of China at the people's expense. This is a poor country working hard to change that. Still, there is a reprehensible side of this place which cannot be explained away. I always saw hazards in living there. Whether it was dealing with unscrupulous people, the regular dangers of getting hit by a car, anti-western ideas that boil over, or just the accumulation of toxins as the pollution reached shocking levels. China is a hard place to be for a long period of time.
What China is not is easy to understand. What China is also not is wanting to be understood. That is no reason not to try. My interest in photography came about in China and evolved there. I definitely became a better teacher while there. I learned to be more self-reliant. I would complete one year and sign on for a new year to see how a changing situation would play out, to see how the students would develop, and to see how the city would change.
After long enough, I had seen enough. I had once gained great insight and a was left with a memorable education as an undergraduate, years ago, as an overseas student When I moved to China to work there in 2005, I had no idea that I would wind up staying so long.

While Apple managed to pack a bunch of new technologies into the iPhone 5, the company opted not to include the wireless charging found on Nokia’s Lumia 920 or the near field communications technology found in the Galaxy S III.
Though some saw Apple’s Passbook feature as a perfect companion to NFC, Apple opted not to include the technology in the iPhone 5. Passbook is used to store loyalty cards and gift cards as well as things like boarding passes and baseball tickets.
In an interview, Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller said that Passbook alone does what most customers want and works without existing merchant payment systems.

Here's why growth should decelerate in Q3.
If you follow tech giant Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) closely, you may want to mark your calendar. Formerly Google, the search giant's parent company reports third-quarter results on Thursday, Oct. 27. With shares rising about 12% in the past month and trading around a new all-time high set during the quarter, investors will likely be watching the company's earnings release closely to see if Alphabet can live up to high expectations.
Ahead of Alphabet's third-quarter earnings release, here's an early look at what to expect.
Ahead of Alphabet's earnings release, analysts have a consensus estimate for revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share of $22.1 billion and $8.63, respectively. This compares to revenue and non-GAAP EPS of $18.7 billion and $7.35 in the year-ago quarter and $21.5 billion and $8.42 in Q2.
These expectations seem fair and somewhat conservative, given that in Q2 Alphabet's revenue and EPS actually increased at slightly higher rates than the year-over-year growth these estimates imply.
YOY = year over year.
Analyst expectations for slower year-over-year growth in Q3 versus Q2 are likely a reflection of commentary from Alphabet management. The company's most recent earnings call discussed the more difficult year-over-year comparisons Alphabet is about to face.
Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat noted in the second-quarter earnings call that the company's revenue growth rates recently benefited from a change to mobile ad formats made in the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter of 2016, therefore, will be the first quarter with a year-ago comparison including this benefit.
"I'll let you do your own forecasting. But when comparing growth rates, we're obviously at a higher revenue base versus last year," Porat stated, seeming to suggest analysts shouldn't expect recent year-over-year growth rates to persist.
Further supporting expectations for 18% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3, Alphabet's constant currency year-over-year revenue growth in the last quarter before the company began benefiting from its ad format change for mobile was 18%. So, analysts seem to be essentially betting the inclusion of mobile ad format benefits in the year-ago quarter will bring year-over-year growth back to where it was before the company started benefiting from this tailwind.
Another interesting area to watch will be Google's "other bets" segment. While its $185 million in revenue in the company's most recent quarter, which management said was primarily driven by Nest, Fiber, and Verily, pales in comparison to Alphabet's total second-quarter revenue of $21.5 billion, the segment is growing rapidly. In Q2, the segment's revenue, specifically, was up 150% from the year-ago quarter. Can this small segment keep growing this fast in Q3?
But what will likely be more interesting about the "other bets" segment than how fast it is growing is whether the company is improving the segment's losses. Its operating loss was $859 million in Q2 -- worse than its $660 million loss in the second quarter of 2015.
Investors will be able to find a copy of Alphabet's earnings release on the company's investor relations website after market close on Oct. 27. A live conference call, which will be available on the same page, will discuss third-quarter results at 1:30 p.m. PT.

If there’s one thing I regret as a Doctor Who figure collector it’s not grabbing duplicates of the Dalek Collectors’ Sets while they were going cheap. There are a huge variety of variants (ranging from the obscure to the really obscure) left untouched by Character Options, and these days finding the exact versions needed for parts swaps can be a difficult task. However thanks to Forbidden Planet selling The Chase set at a huge discount, I now have three new figures to work with. The first is a pretty simple custom, but one that’s been missing from my collection for the longest time – a movie-style Dalek from the Peter Cushing films produced in the 1960s. More specifically, a drone type Dalek from the second of these films, Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.
A feature-length remake of the second Dalek story, Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. sees Doctor Who, his granddaughter Susan, niece Louise and police constable Tom Campbell (played by Bernard Cribbins) land in the year 2150 A.D. with Earth under Dalek occupation. The Daleks are led by gold “supreme”, with a black Dalek in charge of mining operations and a red variant as the saucer commander. Standard Daleks are silver and blue, much like their TV counterparts at the time but with an enlarged fender and dome lights. As was the cast with both movies, some Daleks are fitted with a claw rather than the standard plunger.
There are seven different movie Dalek variants in total that I’d like to make one day (three from Doctor Who & The Daleks and four from Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.), but for my first I thought I’d do the easiest of them. All that was required for the main body was a standard Chase Dalek (the Power and Evil variants would suffice too) and a extended fender taken from a Daleks Invasion of Earth variant. The fender from the Planet of the Daleks’ Supreme also works, but those models are a bit harder to come by. Using the Invasion of Earth variant also requires removing the top skirt piece from the base, which (despite being stiff) can be pried away from the larger section.
The larger dome lights were a little trickier. I’ve seen customs on the web use anything from painted cylinders to conical LEGO pieces, but before I’d even started I knew I wanted to try using LEDs. Getting the right size and shape took a number of different attempts, but what I eventually settled on was two 10mm cylinder LEDs glued together vertically to get the right height and width. The shape isn’t 100% movie accurate, but does the job well enough. The clear LEDs were then painted using Humbrol metallic blue paint, which actually turned out as more of a translucent blue.
As I say since this was a first attempt at movie Dalek I wanted to keep things simple, so this particular Dalek is stuck with a plunger rather than having a fancy claw appendage. If I’m able to make more in the future this is something that will need to be addressed (since some of the higher ranking Daleks have claws), but for now this is perfectly fine.
A simple custom, but one that makes a huge difference once you’ve made all the little changes needed. I’m extremely happy with how this turned out, and hope I can gather the parts to make the rest of the movie Daleks in the near future.
What are your thoughts on the Peter Cushing movies?

Located just on the edge of the town of Los Gatos, the Los Gatos Mountains offer a mountain-retreat feel with close proximity to all city conveniences. Lexington Reservoir is a wonderful location for recreation and reflection and there are peaceful spots throughout the area for hiking, biking and leisure. Nestled under the forested tops of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it’s no wonder that the Los Gatos Mountains are so desirable.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: THE 3-STEP FREEDMEN’S TOWN PRESERVATION SHUFFLE “1. Buy a block (maybe the vacant one on W. Gray . . . the blocks are small). 2. Move all extant historical structures to said block and make it a park, with public space for outdoor events. 3. Rehab the brick streets. Anything beyond this, in the name of historical preservation, is in name only.” [Turning_Basin, commenting on City Wants To Create Historic District To Protect What’s Left of Freedmen’s Town Historic District] Photo of torn up brick street section at Andrews St.: Chris C.
The presentation slides from last week’s meeting about the street and infrastructure work planned for Fourth Ward between W. Gray and Welch streets are now online — you have until May 6th to email the city about it, if you feel like doing so. The green lines show areas where 50-ft.-plus cross-sections are planned, with anywhere from 7 to 22 ft. of pedestrian space (mostly running 12-to-17 ft., in the not-to-scale drawings). Streets marked in light blue would range from 33 to 36 ft. wide, including only 1 sidewalk and a 2-ft. easement on the opposite side; areas marked in dark purple would also get 1 sidewalk, but both vehicle and pedestrian lanes would be several feet narrower (27 to 30 ft. in total).
The work skirts the southern edge of the not-quite-rectangular Freedmen’s Town National Historic District, which runs north-to-south roughly from W. Gray to W. Dallas St., and east-to-west from Gennessee St. as far west as Arthur St. in some places. Planned street and infrastructure work in that area is currently on hold due to the ongoing court case over preserving the remnants of brick roadways in the district, along parts of Wilson and Andrews streets.
From the inside out and the outside looking in, here’s a peek through the semi-see-through mesh facade of University of Houston architecture professor Zui Ng’s Shotgun Chameleon house, located just east of the intersection of Cleveland and Gillette streets in the Freedmen’s Town National Historic District. The 2-story 3-bedroom home was named Architectural Record‘s house of the month last month, and was originally designed for a 2006 expo of building ideas for post-Katrina New Orleans. The space can be used as a duplex or a split home-office setup thanks to a set of exterior stairs leading to the upper floor.
The design’s appearance can also be adapted to blend in with different neighborhoods and urban settings. The metal mesh, which covers most of the upstairs balcony on the street-facing side of the building, could provide a scaffolding for leafy cover, or could get wooden siding tacked over it to help the structure fit in with similarly-adorned neighbors. Ng says the front could even go commercial, with the upstairs hosting a billboard for a downstairs business, or go high-tech, with options ranging from solar panel arrays to breeze-catching louver arrangements.
The rooftop terrace of this 2008 City View Courtyard townhome ought to be a decent spot for watching tomorrow’s Freedom Over Texas fireworks show. The Fourth Ward location between W. Dallas St. and the back of Allen Parkway Village falls in Freedmen’s Town — though not the portion designated and nationally registered as Freedmen’s Town Historic District. The townhome property’s name is only semi-apt; while “city view” (top) is a sure thing, the “courtyard” reference is less clear. Perhaps it refers to the narrow strip of fenced pens between the 2 back-to-back 3-packs? Even without the seasonal pyrotechnics of Houston’s Official July 4th Celebration to view, the end-cap’s perspective peeks at office peaks, . . .

The course of employed by group arts practitioners distinguishes us from all different cultural fields, and that is reflected ultimately product of our work. After Creative Expression, college students started putting the finishing touches on their Arts Workshop presentation. Find the straightforward instructions for making this Radial Design project by going to the fifth Grade Projects Gallery at Kids & Glitter. Traditional martial arts will invigorate the body by including motion and train and awaken the thoughts by opening different avenues of thought. Wire coat hanger crafts are perfect for classroom artwork as a result of it is inexpensive, as well as something the kids get pleasure from.
Forever will likely be a pupil even after I have students below me. Martial arts will at all times evolve and you will always should adapt to the subtle nuances that come with that evolution. If I have been doing this project in a classroom, I suppose I would discover Nativity clip artwork and have the youngsters lay the ornament insert over the clip artwork and, using a black Sharpie, hint over the picture. There are tons of of martial arts all over the world and in some international locations, each family line has its own style that’s passed from technology to generation. Start with something worthwhile – a poem, a novel, a brief story, an article, a speech, even an commercial – and research it from all angles, ferreting out all the language arts you can or until curiosity wanes. The Northampton Arts Council works to support and nurture the arts in the metropolis of Northampton.
There’s evidence of the constructive long-term benefits of participating within the arts in all their kinds from longitudinal studies from both mainstream cultural organisations, and from the wealth of targeted arts and well being initiatives. Now you can also make your own Elf on a shelf by following the tutorial at Jane of All Crafts. The Festival of the Arts was a paradise for the visible arts, with aisles upon aisles of Southern California’s greatest artists displaying their works. A high quality arts movie theater is a venue, normally a building, for viewing such films. Since the times of UFC, the mysticism” behind most of the Eastern conventional martial arts had been shattered.
Colin Blakely, Director and Professor, School of Art, and Michael B. Schwartz, Temple’s Tyler School of Art ‘88/UA MFA ‘91, Founder and Director of Tucson Arts Brigade and its Mural Program, can be inviting the greater arts neighborhood, students, faculty, the School of Art Board and the City of Tucson mural advocates for a panel dialogue about the mural arts in Tucson, focusing specifically on the applications’ downtown murals and ongoing efforts to create a sustainable mural program within the city.

Find out more about parked domains - what they are and in what situations it is beneficial to have your domain names parked.
There are 2 services that you’ll need for a working web site - a domain name and a website hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the domain name in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded within the hosting account, but if that domain is not linked to such an account or to an email service, it's parked. In other words, the domain name is registered and you are its owner, but it does not have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” webpage from the registrar company, or it can be directed to any other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and make certain that no one else will take it. Meanwhile, it will not block a slot for a hosted Internet domain inside your account. You can also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domains with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main web site as a way to protect a brand name.
You'll be able to park as many domains as you would like with any of the web hosting packages that we provide. Naturally, this feature is available just for domain names registered here because the service is always provided only by the registrar. As opposed to many companies, we don't charge anything more for parking a domain name and the process is going to take just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. We've got a number of parking templates to pick from where you can add custom text. If you choose to host a parked domain address in the future, adding it to your account takes only a click. Everything essential for your website to start showing up, like setting up a domain folder and creating DNS records is going to be done automatically by us. Our feature-rich Domain Manager tool will enable you to see a full list of the domain names that you've registered through our company and you’ll be able to set a filter to view only the parked or only the hosted ones.

Ahaqir Ishaq : Does Anthony Davis Wants to Join the Celtics?
Does Anthony Davis Wants to Join the Celtics?
The latest news in the NBA is that Anthony Davis may join the Boston Celtics and team up with Kyrie Irving. Wow, that is crazy news considering how good the Celtics already are at this point. Will they be able to land Davis?
It looks like the Celtics are never satisfied. They have the best young roster in the NBA and they are still trying to get better. Well, it's Irving that is really doing the recruiting. He has reportedly talked to Davis about teaming up in Boston.
It will be interesting to see if the Celtics actually try to pursue Davis because they have a lot of players to pay in the near future. They will have to let one or two of them go because they can't pay everyone. And Davis will be looking for a max contract.
There has been no rumor that Davis is unhappy in New Orleans. I think that he is going to test all his options. The New Orleans Pelicans haven't had much playoff success and losing over and over again will make a player want to try other options.
Unless the Pelicans can make it to the Western Conference Finals, Davis will not be happy. He has played great in the playoffs but it has always been in vain. Trying to beat the Golden State Warriors four times is not easy and not many teams can.
If Davis joins the Celtics, he will be able to beat the Warriors, a hurdle he desperately wants to get over. Golden State has had trouble stopping Davis but they have been able to limit his teammates and win every series against the Pelicans.
Just like the rest of the NBA, Davis wants to beat the Warriors. He knows he can't do it alone. Joining the Boston Celtics is a great way to beat the Warriors because the Celtics have one of the best rosters in the league. With Davis, they will be the best team in the league without a doubt.

Strawberry Summer Sangria an easy light refreshing cocktail you’ll want around this summer!
Strawberry Summer Sangria filled with fresh strawberries, peaches and loads of citrus! This Summer Sangria served over ice is a light refreshing cocktail you’ll want around at your next party!
One of the things I missed the most while I was pregnant was wine. The funny thing is it’s not like I had it every night when I wasn’t pregnant. I think it was more the idea of being told I couldn’t have it, made me want it more. Does anyone else’s mind work like that?
A couple years ago I would get headaches after drinking wine, specifically red wines. I would usually stick to the really sweet wines – like Moscato or Riesling. But then a good friend of ours, who is a frequent visitor to Napa, introduced me to a GOOD red wine and I haven’t looked back!
In fact, I’d venture to say that I’m more of a red girl than a white. Although, I do like a good Rosè especially in the summer!
But todays’ recipe is all about Sangria.
A classic sangria usually has brandy, sugar, oranges and limes. It marinades overnight and really soaks up all the flavor. It’s flipping delicious.
What I love about Sangria is it’s so versatile.
You can add just about any fruit you’d like, sub different liquors for the brandy, add juice or seltzer water and you’ll almost always end up with a delicious product.
The last time I made Sangria it was all about Citrus and I used White Wine. It was super light and refreshing.
But today we are all about those berries, more specifically those Strawberries.
This Sangria is loaded with fresh strawberries and peaches. Just make sure to save a few fresh ones to top your drink with afterwards. But don’t throw out the ones that have been soaking all night, they are loaded with all the sangria flavor. It’s honestly my favorite part. Gimme all the wine soaked fruit. Yes please!
This recipe can be made a day or two ahead of time, in fact it’s better if you let it sit overnight.
Top it with seltzer water and then serve it over from ice for a cool refreshing treat this summer!
It’ll be a staple by us, especially when the kids are going crazy outside. Just sayin. Momma needs a little sangria to stay sane!
Right before serving, add in the club soda. Stir the sangria around one more time and serve over ice.
Sangria is one of my most favorite summer drinks. This one is light and refreshing and going on my must-make list this summer.
This sounds so refreshing for summer! Bursting with flavors!
Sounds like the perfect summer cocktail!
It’s like summer in a glass! So tasty!
One of my favorite drinks especially for the summer!!
This is such a gorgeous drink! Would be a staple cocktail for summer parties!

Do You Need a Beautiful Glass Table Top?
The glass tabletops can be used in many different ways, however most famous is to use glass to protect surface of the table, desk and coffee table. While used as the cover on wood surface, generally thinner glass like 1/4" is been used. Edges of glass will generally get polished to smooth this out and avoid possibility of the injury from sharp edges. While glass is used as the wood surface cover there’s not any need for tempering any glass.
You have come at a right place for the replacement table top. You can custom cut, polish, bevel, or temper the glass. It ensures perfectly customized fit, and gives you an opportunity to choose glass type that you want, as well as gets this delivered in the record time for home or office needs. No matter whether it is for the glass table replacement, the glass table cover or table design of own, steps of customizing the glass table top will be the same. The glass table tops come custom manufactured that means all pieces are at your specification.
Why To Choose Glass Table Tops?
-Refresh the older pieces with the less permanent option, compared to the stains and paint.
- Protect the furniture from scratches, nicks, or other possible damage.
- Elevate impact of the wood tables and dressers when protecting the investments from any scratches, sun damage, glass rings, or scuffs.
- Glass is beautiful; glass top is the best way to add a little shine to dull item.
- Renew your old glass table and inserts with glass table replacement; the outdoor tables are vulnerable to the damage or weathering. Like the single and the French doors, they will open inwards and outwards depending at interior and exterior space.
- Order tabletop to complete the table, nightstand and plant stand.

Orthodontic retainers are custom-made devices, made usually of wires or clear plastic, that hold teeth in position after surgery or any method of realigning teeth. They are most often used before or after dental braces to hold teeth in position while assisting the adjustment of the surrounding gums to changes in the bone. Most patients are required to wear their retainer(s) every night at first, with many also being directed to wear them during the day - at least initially. There are four types of retainers typically prescribed by orthodontists and dentists: Hawley, Essix, Zendura, and Bonded (Fixed) retainers.

During a “traditional” tummy tuck, stretched muscles are “tightened” with sutures, and excess skin is removed. Using the combination of pUAL and simple skin removal, traditional tummy tuck surgery is much less common, even if you have lost a significant amount of weight.
For most patients, treatment will normally be accomplished in an out-patient surgery center.
While liposuction and full tummy-tuck procedures can be combined, the risks of surgery may be greater than if either surgery is performed alone. Abdominoplasty does produce a permanent scar, which can extend from hip to hip.
Some patients with a protruding abdomen do not require abdominoplasty. If your abdomen protrudes, but you do not have significant excess skin, you may benefit from liposuction only. Be sure you understand the relative advantages and disadvantages of both procedures as you make your decision.
Treatment recommendations are based on your examination & personal preferences.
The incision for either surgery will vary according to your specific needs. The most common incision reaches from hip to hip at the level of your pubic bone. Not all clothing will conceal this incision. A second incision is made around your navel. Your skin and fat layer is lifted from the muscle layer of your tummy wall.
In traditional tummy tuck surgery, the surgery extends up to your rib cage, while in a limited tuck the surgery extends just above your navel. This is the difference between traditional and limited tummy tuck surgery.
To flatten your stomach, your tummy wall muscles are “tightened” with stitches. The excess skin is then removed.
Except for the full tummy tuck, surgery is most often performed as an outpatient procedure, usually under general anesthesia. Full abdominoplasty usually requires at least an overnight stay.
If you live more than 20-30 minutes from Syracuse, you should consider spending the night of surgery at a local hotel. Should you experience a possible surgical complication, I do not want distance to prevent you from being evaluated. Following anesthesia, some patients may become nauseated. Traveling longer distances may increase your risk of becoming carsick.
Due to the large area that must heal, you need to limit your physical activity. You can think of healing like allowing glue to set: It takes time. While we try to aid nature, there is nothing we can do to speed the healing process.
For comfort and support, you will be given an elastic abdominal binder. While you can wear your binder 24 hours daily, you should wear the binder whenever you are up. After the first several days, the binder is no longer required, but most patients continue wearing the binder as a matter of comfort.

Does the rigor of Samuel Beckett’s plays demand that they be appreciated only in a straight-back chair? Might an audience be allowed to get comfortable, even in the ease of one’s own home? And what happens when the theater hall shrinks to the size of a living room, the viewer divorced by a TV screen from the actors who are not there? What a sacrilege to film Beckett’s plays, now that he’s been dead a while and can no longer object, and yet what a terrific opportunity.
Beckett on Film is a laudable project, unique in the realm of theater. Produced in Ireland and shot during the year 2000, the four-DVD set presents all nineteen of Beckett’s stage plays filmed by nineteen directors who remain faithful to his texts while probing the resources of their medium. We know the arguments: theater is performed live, before a different public each night, and so the shifting nuances, the shared risk and mutual response. The theatrical space is like a temple, where the spirit must be conjured up anew, collectively. Film offers none of that; its magic is more mechanical, engineered by a particular syntax of the gaze. What, then, is gained by such an enterprise?
Most obviously, a sense of intimacy. But Beckett’s plays are already intimate, often featuring a single character and never more than three or four, with their deep subterranean river of consciousness giving rise to the voices. Film, however, brings the possibility of the close-up. In Not I, a 14-minute monologue, the lone character is a mouth. Amid the vast darkness of a theater, that small lit mouth, relentless in its refusal to speak of a self in the first person, seems almost lost, a fierce flickering flame against the night. In Neil Jordan’s film, by contrast, the mouth of Julianne Moore fills the frame: projected onto a movie screen, the giant mouth could appear grotesque, but seen on television floating in a dark room, it lets us concentrate on the very act of speaking. Shot in one continuous take, the film nonetheless brings up another problem inherent to the form, in that theater is a three-dimensional environment, whereas film is really two; by cutting among five different angles, with no clear logic other than to create an impression of space, Jordan’s camera feels more restless instead, as if he didn’t trust us to just watch the play unfolding.
Throughout these films, a central element of theater is curiously missing, and to great effect: there is no stage. Rather, we are right there where the play is happening---in the room with Hamm and Clov in Endgame, beside Winnie in her mound in Happy Days. How we dwell with Beckett’s characters, by what rhythm we view them and receive their words, becomes the director’s prerogative more than ever. The subtle liberties taken by Anthony Minghella in Play are of a piece with Beckett’s own poetry, extending the dynamics to intensify the spatial and emotional depth. A man, his wife, and his mistress appear side by side, trapped in urns from the neck down, condemned to repeat the details of their affair when the focus lands, each in turn, on their mud-crusted faces. Where Beckett called for a single inquisitorial spotlight to animate the speakers back and forth, Minghella swoops in with his camera like a trigger to the action, layering the takes to suggest the perpetuity of their confessions. Moreover, on stage there are but three urns; the film repeats the image, so that beyond the actors---Alan Rickman, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Juliette Stephenson---a whole desolate landscape is revealed, filled with urn-bound figures.
One of the benefits of this project, which grew out of the original productions at the Gate Theatre in Dublin, is that it introduces a number of seasoned actors---and some emerging Irish directors (Conor McPherson, John Crowley, Kieron J. Walsh)---to Beckett’s work. But while many of the bigger roles are performed by well-known actors, these are not star turns. John Hurt, as directed by Atom Egoyan in Krapp’s Last Tape, is appropriately craggy and crotchety, and seems genuinely pained listening to the tape of his younger self. In Ohio Impromptu, Jeremy Irons brings a mournful, hollow-eyed weariness to the brief tale of loss and memory. Here, in response to Beckett’s wish that the Listener and Reader be “as alike in appearance as possible,” the film makes use of technical effects so that Irons can actually play both parts. With Catastrophe, a late work dedicated to Vaclav Havel, David Mamet draws on a full theatrical lineage in casting Harold Pinter as the manipulative Director, Rebecca Pidgeon as his enthusiastic assistant, and John Gielgud as the silent, suffering Protagonist.
While the directors generally show restraint in helping the plays achieve their proper resonance, the sets, of course, are paramount in establishing the visual relationships. Most of the films were shot in studio, but one remarkable departure is Happy Days, which Patricia Rozema shot on a volcanic hillside in Tenerife. Half-buried in her mound and dressed for a party, Rosaleen Linehan proves to be a splendid Winnie, who remains chipper and undaunted, even grateful for her life, despite exposure to the elements. That those elements are indeed real (the wind occasionally audible), confirmed by intermittent long shots where she becomes practically imperceptible amid the rugged landscape, makes her outlook even closer to miraculous.
Waiting for Godot, on the other hand, tender and droll as ever, was filmed in an abandoned creamery on a set that appears quite natural, with its rock-strewn expanse, its dirt road and bare tree, until at the end of Act One when the day quickly fades to night and an artificial moon rises into the sky. Common to most of the films, naturalistic sets fit Beckett’s texts surprisingly well, grounding them in the world we know and thus granting easier access to his finely sculpted writing. As it is, film encourages a more natural use of the voice, so that the actors don’t have to project as from a stage and may better control their delivery according to Beckett’s stringent requirements. In Endgame, such conditions aid and abet the performance nicely, where Michael Gambon and David Thewlis as Hamm and Clov, those modernist vaudevillians of despair, pivot and turn about the shabby room as they persist in trying to outwit each other.
Technology in the service of art, that is the ideal, yet how much waste along the way. Beckett on Film is a marvelous treasure, a box no bigger than a thick book, but of immeasurable depth. These production do not claim to be definitive versions. Rather, they are a fresh take, within the recent memory of their original creations, and taken together they serve as a milestone, a means to propel Beckett’s work into the future, toward new audiences. Like Krapp with his tapes, the format of the DVDs enables us to revisit the plays over and over, to rewind, jump ahead, compare. In a quiet room they speak to us, inside of us, ever curious and intangible voice to keep us company.

This was one of the first recipes I designed for World Cancer Research Fund. And, like many of my other recipes, it is inspired by Morocco. Cinnamon is often associated with sweet foods, but this recipe shows how delicious it is in savoury dishes too.
Lightly dust the chicken pieces with plain flour.
Warm half the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan, and place in a heat-proof dish and cover.
Add the rest of the oil to the pan and warm. Then add the onion, garlic and potatoes, and stir continuously until the onion starts to soften. Add the lemon zest and juice, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and black pepper, mix and cook for a further 2–3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan, and add the chickpeas and stock. Mix thoroughly and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and leave to simmer for 20–25 minutes.
Place the spinach on top of the other ingredients. Replace the lid, and leave for 2 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt. If using frozen spinach, add a few minutes earlier. Stir the spinach through the casserole and serve.
Serving suggestion: Serve on its own, or with a portion of steamed green vegetables.

The advanced control solutions can provide millimetre-by-millimetre control of the actuators. Accurate positioning of windows is necessary to obtain an optimal indoor climate during all seasons and all weather conditions. Data communication between the actuators and the MotorControllers enables the actuators to report back their precise position. This enables the BMS system to know the exact position of the vents at all times.
The registration of the exact position of the windows enables the BMS system to accurately position the windows to ensure that they are open to the same amount which maintains the external appearance of the facade. This also prevents the BMS system having to close the windows at numerous times during the day in order to reset their position to the fully closed position, preventing so called “hunting” of actuators is also a benefit of this feature.
The WindowMaster actuators equipped with the special MotorLink® technology enable different opening/closing speeds to be used, dependent upon the digital command received. For instance a slow and soundless speed when in automatic mode and a faster more audible speed when activated by the manual keypads in order to provide an immediate visual response to the user. This technology makes it possible to operate automatic (slow speed and soundless) during lessons in schools, meetings etc.
The MotorLink® actuators can run fully synchronised – without an external synchronisation module. Up to four actuators can work together on one window with a tolerance of less than 2 mm. Through our patented solution the actuators communicate with each other directly and adjust their speed so that they are always operating fully synchronised. This genuine real time synchronisation is the best guarantee that the window is not, for example, damaged by actuators running at different speeds.
The WindowMaster actuators include an integrated reversing function, which enables the pressure on the window gaskets to be released by a few millimetres after the windows have been closed. This ensures a prolonged life span of the gaskets and air-tightness of the window. The distance which the window actuators reverse can be programmed individually for each window and adjusted after installation if required. The reverse function ensures that the windows gaskets are not destroyed by the closing force of the actuator.
Window actuators equipped with the special MotorLink® technology can reduce the risk of entrapment. The actuators are programmed to stop and reverse if they encounter obstacles when closing. The set points determining when the actuators are to reverse are adjustable, but there is a limit to how sensitive they can be set as they still need to overcome the forces required to close and seal the window. In addition, other external systems can be linked to the actuators, e.g. motion sensors or safety edges. This safety function reduces the risk of anything becoming trapped in the window.
Actuators from WindowMaster using the special MotorLink® technology include a two-way communication between the MotorController and the individual window actuator. Feedback from every window actuator can provide an early indication of any potential faults. This feature makes it very easy for the caretaker or facilities manager to locate any fault in the system.
Online parameter set-up, either from a maintenance terminal in the building or remotely via the internet or modem, is a standard feature in all MotorLink® solutions. Therefore initial set-up and future adjustments to the speed and forces etc. of the actuators is quickly and easily achieved. The on-line parameter set-up greatly reduces the hours needed for commissioning the system.
Window actuators with TrueSpeed™ ensure soundless operation when opening windows to ventilate a building. While MotorLink® guarantees position feedback and synchronization between multiple actuators to open windows at the same time, TrueSpeed™ delivers a definite speed, ensuring that all motor lines are aligned. Furthermore, TrueSpeed™ is able to reduce the speed of opening and closing to 1mm per second, which effectively ensures soundless operation.

Outdoor Metalwork. The best part of this collection? All of these piece can be left outdoors year around with very little maintenance. The pieces shown here are all made of steel, the same metal as our brightly sanded interior pieces. However in this case, once we have completed making them, we do nothing else to treat the surface, rather just put them outside and let the elements add their finishing touch to the coloring.
And of course, you are welcome to use these items indoors too!
TIP: Rust is rust and can leave a stain on light colored walls and walkways. Most of our wall pieces are fitted with stainless steel spacer pins. These create an interesting shadow when the item is hung on the wall, but also keep the rust from making direct contact with surfaces to help minimize staining.

North Star Mall uses newly available space to provide families with “Tot Lot,” an educationally inspired children’s soft play park created by Center Stage Productions and sponsored by Children’s Hospital of San Antonio.
SAN ANTONIO (December 2, 2013) — North Star Mall has unveiled a brand new soft play park to provide a special space for their youngest shoppers to enjoy. The ongoing drought in San Antonio, Texas inspired North Star Mall, a premier shopping destination within this community, to transform their fountain area into “Tot Lot,” an educationally themed soft play park geared for children up to five years old. Designed and manufactured by Center Stage Productions and sponsored by Children’s Hospital of San Antonio, this family friendly attraction features bold primary colors, letters, numbers, shapes and interactive sounds.
“The water restrictions enacted by the City resulted in the closure of the fountain formerly in front of the JC Penney store. The newly available space provided the perfect chance to create a play area for small children,” says Michelle Robertson, senior marketing manager for North Star and The Shops at La Cantera. “We’re thrilled to see so many families simply having a great time at Tot Lot and even happier to be able to enhance their shopping experience,” added Robertson.
At the center of the action is the Kids Clubhouse, which children may access through a tunnel tube. In addition to soft foam clusters of numbers and letters, there are multiple brightly hued arches for children to crawl on or under, and a musically-embedded ABC slide which plays scales in ascending or descending order depending on whether the child is climbing up or down. A theatre section featuring a flat screen television accompanied by beanbag chairs and soft bench seating is also part of the fun.
Interactive features, which are geared to improve hand-eye coordination and sensory exploration, include a pathfinder pegs maze game, the wavy “funhouse” mirror, the magic hands touch-activated image creator and a bubble window.
Safety is a big component of the Tot Lot. To that end, heavily padded carpet adorns the area which in addition to completing the educational theme by featuring a hopscotch board, shapes and numbers, is also specially engineered to give kids a safe landing. In fact, it absorbs impact and exceeds standards for drop and fall ratings. Further, all soft play pieces have high-quality smooth foam surfaces and are scaled to size for children’s safety. Best of all, each play piece is coated with naturally antimicrobial urethanes, which inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
North Star Mall’s Tot Lot is free to the public and open during all mall hours, which are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. North Star Mall is located at 7400 San Pedro Avenue, San Antonio, Texas. For information, call North Star Mall at (210) 342.2325 or visit www.northstarmall.com.

Though we often think of GIS as focused on the earth, ArcGIS Pro is powerful enough to map the heavens above. We love how this star chart and companion story map use vivid illustrations and clear explanations for celestial mapping terms such as coordinates and constellation boundaries. The charts make great use of color and labels, and the map offers a beautiful depiction of the arc of the Milky Way across the sky. Minimal constellation figures in the overview maps help us to quickly orient ourselves in the night sky.
This map presents the endeavor of charting the stars as an approachable map-making process, using clever cartographic techniques for visualisation. The graduated symbology represents the stars’ relative brightness. This gives the chart depth atop intuitive nighttime colors. Larger areas of the night sky are made prominent by a smart labeling hierarchy, while annotation further enhances the labels. A clean layout brings together Northern and Southern hemisphere charts. Each technique makes this very dense dataset beautifully legible.
The map author of “The Night Sky” created a companion story map tutorial. This step-by-step guide walks you through how to build this map using ArcGIS Pro.
Instead of latitude and longitude coordinates, star charts use declination and right ascension. In ArcGIS Pro, you can make a spatial layer of your star chart table by making an XY Event Layer and setting the Declination as the Y field.
The Polar Sterographic projection is conformal, so constellations can retain their recognisable shapes. Using graduated symbology to indicate star brightness will give your star chart depth.
Divide the Northern and Southern hemispheres into their own views, and rotate the Southern hemisphere by 180 degrees This will allow you to display the Milky Way as a continuous feature across both views.
Data was compiled by Peter Girard, who gave permission to use and share it. The Milky Way data was adapted from another map. Software used: ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, Inkscape.
The chart required manipulation of data and graphics. For example, the author used georeferencing and custom projections to create the Milky Way polygons, and the Feature Outline Masks tool for annotation masking.
Using the provided data, and without agonising over any design considerations, you could recreate this map in 1 to 2 days. Most of the work is in placing and editing text. It originally took about 4 months of experimentation to arrive at this final map.
Polar Stereographic projection provides great results.
Use separate views for the Northern and Southern hemispheres, rotating the Southern 180°.
Apply graduated symbology to the stars’ relative brightness value field.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Sept. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ECRI Institute®, an independent nonprofit that researches the best approaches to improving patient care, today announces the release of its new SELECT Capital Budget Tool, the latest enhancement to ECRI Institute's SELECTplus™ capital technology advisory service used by more than 2,500 hospitals and health systems worldwide.
The SELECT Capital Budget Tool is an interactive, Web-based resource that allows hospital departments and purchasing professionals to create clean, standardized preliminary equipment "wish lists" – the first step in the often arduous task of building a hospital or health system's annual capital budget.
"Hospital decision makers will no longer need to take time out of their busy schedules to contact vendors for list price quotes when building their budgets, often budgeting for much more than necessary," says Jennifer Myers, ECRI Institute's Vice President of SELECT Health Technology Services.
Built on a best practice approach to capital spend management, the Capital Budget Tool enables hospital staff to build a clean, standardized capital budget wish list right from the start—one that relies on actual and accurate prices paid, without a lot of tinkering and tweaking of data.
Submit a budget directly to ECRI Institute for further analysis, including unlimited consultation with their staff of technology analysts, biomedical engineers, clinicians and researchers.
"The Capital Budget Tool can help hospitals inform their critical purchasing decisions and allocate their capital budget dollars more strategically in the face of current healthcare trends," says Anthony J. Montagnolo, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Office, ECRI Institute.
Using the Capital Budget Tool, multiple staff members within a hospital or system can submit proposed or requested items, allowing for greater transparency across all departments of a hospital when it comes to the annual capital budget process. The tool quickly populates standardized pricing data in a simple list format that includes the name of staff, department, and facility (if a hospital system) requesting a particular piece of equipment. Users can view the average price for a budget item from within a 12-month window, and the tool automatically recalculates totals as new items are added.
For more information about ECRI Institute's SELECT Capital Budget Tool, or to request a demonstration, contact Jennifer Myers at (610) 825-6000, ext. 5287, or e-mail jmyers@ecri.org. To learn more about ECRI Institute, contact us at communications@ecri.org, (610) 825-6000, or 5200 Butler Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462.
ECRI Institute (www.ecri.org), a nonprofit organization, brings the discipline of applied scientific research to discover which medical procedures, devices, drugs, and processes are best to enable healthcare organizations improve patient care. As pioneers in this science, ECRI Institute marries experience and independence with the objectivity of evidence-based research. ECRI Institute is designated as an Evidence-based Practice Center by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. ECRI Institute PSO is listed as a federally certified Patient Safety Organization by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Not all Aurora chiropractors are the same. At Moore Chiropractic Group we pride ourselves on not being a relief care facility, but correcting problems and on improving the health, well-being and vitality of our community. We specialize in not only family care and wellness, but on the difficult cases that have not responded to traditional medical treatment or symptomatically based chiropractic care.
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints seen today in all age ranges. The cause for this can vary but it is very possible to live a life free from low back pain with chiropractic care. For cases that have degenerated to a significant level, Moore Chiropractic Group teams up with the Canadian Disc Institute to provide cutting edge, disc specific treatment allowing patients to get back to living a pain free life. Call the office today to find out how you could end your low back pain. We specialize in difficult cases!
Headache and migraine suffers know they would do anything to relieve these debilitating conditions. Many have tried everything from massage therapy to strong prescription drugs but nothing completely makes them go away – it only masks the symptom. Dr. Moore looks to determine the cause of your headache by looking at irregularities in structure and then working to correct these structural deformities and allow the body to function with no neurological interference. For more information please call our Aurora chiropractic office and ask for a complimentary headache and >migraine package.
More and more frequently patients are coming to the office inquiring about general health and improving their quality of life. These questions have become so frequent that Dr. Moore has designed a series of lectures addressing different health and wellness topics. If this is of interest to you please call the office to find out about the upcoming lectures.
Just like there are many types of massage therapists, doctors, dentists and mechanics there are also many different types of chiropractors. Some chiropractors are relief care doctors who focus on relieving pain and once the pain is gone you discharged until the pain comes back again. Other chiropractors focus on correcting the cause of the symptom to allow for long term relief.
Many patients find that by correcting the structure and removing interference from the nervous system through corrective and wellness chiropractic care they not only live life pain free but they have more energy, vitality and generally a better quality of life.
Dr. Moore and Moore Chiropractic Group focus on solutions to your health care problems. The best results achieved are with patients who take a committed interest in their health and are looking to make spinal correction to 1) eliminate any symptoms they are experiencing at the time and 2) (and most importantly), correct the cause of the problem to ensure they are optimally functioning.

1. The act or ceremony of separating form a common to a sacred use, or of devoting and dedicating a person or thing to the service and worship of God, by certain rites or solemnities. Consecration does not make a person or thing really holy, but declares it to be sacred, that is, devoted to God or to divine service; as the consecration of the priests among the Israelites; the consecration of the vessels used in the temple; the consecration of a bishop.
2. Canonization; the act of translating into heaven, and enrolling or numbering among the saints or gods; the ceremony of the apotheosis of an emperor.
3. The benediction of the elements in the eucharist; the act of setting apart and blessing the elements in the communion.

The Boulevard of Chicago helps over 300 homeless men and women restore their health, rebuild their lives, and move into stable housing each year. When we find affordable housing for our clients, we also help set-up their households -- dishes, pots & pans, towels, sheets, and furniture. These items are donated by individuals and organizations throughout Chicagoland. The Boulevard, The Road to Health and Home, is in desperate immediate need of a replacement truck to facilitate these pick-ups and move-ins.
The Marino Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge Ram Dealership in Chicago has generously discounted a Dodge Ram truck for us -- and longtime Boulevard donors Ed & Kris Kazemek have pledged to match the first $10,000 in contributions we raise -- dollar-for-dollar -- toward this critical need.
We did it! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Fund a Truck for The Boulevard campaign, and shared it with your friends. A BIG thank you to Ed & Kris Kazemek and Sarah Walker for taking the lead on this project, thanks too Tony & Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM for making this happen. All of you have made it a Wonderful Life for The Boulevard this year!
AWESOME -- Our $10,000 Challenge Grant donors Ed & Kris Kazemek have upped their gift with an additional $5,000 to bring our campaign to within $2,530 of its goal. What a wonderful couple! Please join them in closing out this incredible gift. THANKS does not begin to describe our gratitude!
GREAT NEWS! This morning we surpassed the threshold amount of $10,000 in our Fund a Truck for The Boulevard campaign. This accomplishment meets the $10,000 Challenge Grant issued by our long-time friends Ed & Kris Kazemek. Yea team, and thank you Ed & Kris! Please forward the Go-Fund-Me link to your friends now. Let’s get this done.
We are fast approaching the $10,000 Challenge goal that Ed & Kris Kazemek made in our Fund a Truck for The Boulevard campaign! When we hit our first $10,000 – they’ll match it with another $10,000. Please help us accelerate this campaign by making a donation today.

The Minister and Department of Home Affairs, yesterday, Tuesday 6 March 2018, attended a meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs at which the matter of the naturalisation of Ajay Gupta family was raised, and duly clarified. This was followed by a briefing to the media in Cape Town in light of voluminous interview requests received.
This matter started with a document circulated on social media early in 2017 seemingly to draw public attention to the granting, by Minister of Home Affairs, of naturalisation to members of Ajay Gupta’s family (Annexure A). The Department was invited by the Portfolio Committee to explain the matter. Accordingly, on 27 June 2017 the Director-General Mkuseli Apleni briefed the Committee on applicable legislation and the process followed.
The Department informed the Committee that there were five Ajay Gupta family members who applied as a group. Focus has therefore been on the five members of the Gupta family who had applied for naturalisation, whose matter was raised in the document circulated on social media, thus warranting to be clarified.
The five are Mr Ajay Gupta (born 05 February 1966), Mrs Shivani Gupta (Mr Ajay Gupta’s wife, born 10 May 1970), Mrs Angoori Gupta (mother, born 30 December 1945), Kamal Singhala (son, born 25 October 1992) and Surya Singhala (son, born 10 March 1995).
The process of naturalisation in this regard followed their request for exemption to ordinary residence requirements as stipulated in Section 5(9)(1)(c) of the Citizenship Act, 1995. Their request was in keeping with Section 5(9)(a) which states that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsection (1)(c), the Minster may under exceptional circumstances grant a certificate of naturalisation as South African citizen to an applicant who does not comply with the requirements of subsection (1)(c) relating to residence or ordinary residence in the Republic.
The Minister approved their request for early naturalisation on 30 May 2015 (Letter attached as Annexure B).
However, of the five, four members of the family, excluding Ajay Gupta, were naturalised after they fulfilled the requirement to renounce their Indian citizenship, given that India does not allow dual citizenship. The reason that Ajay Gupta was not naturalised is that he did not renounce his Indian citizenship. Therefore he remains not a citizen of South Africa. He only holds a permanent resident permit.
On 27 February 2018, in adherence to a request from the Portfolio Committee, the DG presented, to the Committee, the supporting documents showing investments and social responsibility of the Gupta family in South Africa. The report was accepted by the Committee. The Committee will validate the documents submitted as evidence, for authenticity.
Yesterday the Minister attended his first meeting of the Portfolio Committee wherein the department was going to present its third quarter report.
The Committee had an opportunity to ask the Minister questions about the naturalisation of the members of the Ajay Gupta family. It was after this meeting that the Minister addressed a media briefing to respond to media requests.
During the briefing the matter of Atul Gupta’s naturalisation was raised which was never a subject for the investigations. He was naturalised before the tenure of Minister Malusi Gigaba at Home Affairs.
Therefore, Minister Gigaba never dealt with the granting of citizenship to Atul Gupta, who was naturalised on November 2002, having satisfied the ordinary requirements for naturalisation. He arrived in South Africa in 1994.
In order to address the Gupta family in its entirety, the Department looked at all the people with the Gupta surname who are on the system. We found that there are 39 people who are not naturalised, 13 who are naturalised, and 10 who were born in South Africa, which gives us a total of 62 (Annexure C).
It should be noted that Atul Gupta was naturalised in November 2002 and Rajesh Gupta was naturalised in July 2006. Both of them appear in the IEC voters roll.
We trust that this statement clarifies the entire matter around citizenship and status of members of the Gupta family. We want to reiterate that Ajay Gupta who was the subject of the investigation is not a South African citizen.

The patriotic city of Jhansi is synonymous to the Rani of Jhansi, Lakshmi Bai. The city is known for the Sepoy Mutiny and resistance against the British in 1857. Located 103 km from Gwalior and 175 km from Khajuraho, Jhansi got its name from the term 'jhain-si' which means blurred shadow. Formerly known as Shankargarh, Jhansi was a stronghold of the Chandela kings. Situated between the Betwa and Pahunj rivers, Jhansi serves as a gateway to Bundelkhand.
It is the place from where Rani Lakshmi Bai led her troops in the 1857 war against the British for independence. The city was given to Jiyaji Rao Scindia by the British Government in 1861. Jhansi was then a part of Gwalior state. But in 1886, the British took Jhansi back from Gwalior state. It was later in independent India that Jhansi was included in Uttar Pradesh. Presently it serves as a Divisional Commissioner's Headquarter including district Jhansi, Lalitpur and Jalaun.
A major stronghold during the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, this majestic fort was built by Raja Bir Singh Ji Deo, in 1613. The fort was transferred to the maharaja of Scindia in 1858, but later exchanged for Gwalior in 1866. Being located on a rocky hill, it offers wonderful views of the city. This huge fort, with ten gates, was built in order to act as an army stronghold and garrison but was later modified into residential quarters. The fort also has a museum, which is known for a wonderful collection of sculptures and provides an excellent insight into the lively history of Bundelkhand. A statue of the queen (Lakshmi Bai) is also installed on the way to the fort.
Jhansi Museum or the Government Museum is popular for an interesting collection of prehistoric tools and literature. It is broadly divided into four galleries that comprise of terracottas dating from the 4th century BC, sculptures, costumes, weapons from the Chandela dynasty, arms, manuscripts, paintings and coins of gold, silver and copper. The Jhansi museum is located in the Jhansi Fort itself. The museum gives a deep insight into the Chandela dynasty. One can also see a separate picture gallery dedicated to the Gupta Kings, which is the major highlight of this museum.
This 18th century structure was once the palace of Rani Lakshmi Bai. Refurbished as a museum, it contains hundreds of sculptures dating back to the 9th and12th century. The Rani Mahal is basically a double storied structure with flat roofs, arched chambers and open courtyards. The second floor has a huge Durbar Hall that features an original painted wood-paneled ceiling. It has a total of six grand halls with parallel verandas. The most exciting feature of the palace lies in its multi-colored paintings on the walls and ceilings. Rani Mahal has been witness to the Great Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. It was the place where Lakshmi Bai made plans with Tantya Tope and Nana Sahib to overcome the colonial rule.
Each place and monument of the city reminds one of the bloodbath of 1857. The city is well connected to all the major cities of India via National Highways 25, 26 and 3.

Regardless of your political beliefs, we've woken up in a reality where some people (including kids & teens) are experiencing what I judge as a trauma-level response to the election and it's aftermath. I liken it to how one might feel and react if someone close died unexpectedly- shock, disbelief, anger, unwillingness to accept, grief-level sadness, and despondence.
1. Be easy on yourself.
If you or those around you are experiencing any of the challenges above, treat yourself / them as you might if someone close to you died unexpectedly. Offer that level of leeway, compassion and patience.
As you are able, take the time to listen to those around you and witness them as they work through their feelings around this experience.
Set up opportunities to be with one another and connect. Reach out to those who tend to isolate themselves and invite them.
4. Lean into your coping skills.
5. Spend time in nature.
Walk slowly outside, near trees and/or water if you can. Walk and breathe slowly. Hang out with your pets.
Lessen suffering by doing things you can control that you know help you feel healthy- diet, exercise, pray/meditate, reading, creative expression. Resist the urge to cover the intensity with substances and distraction. Resist the urge to blame and to succumb to hate.

If we are not learning we are retrogressing, and excellence evades our grasp. We must continually seek to improve our knowledge, our intelligence, and our wisdom. Our knowledge is the body of facts and information that we know, and provides a foundation from which to proceed. Our intelligence is our ability to solve problems and extrapolate from the knowledge we currently have to gain more. Wisdom is our capacity to apply the ideas generated by our intelligence, and make positive change in our world. Together, they comprise our consciousness; our general understanding of the universe, including ourselves. By learning new things we can elevate our consciousness out of the fog of our animal ancestry, and into planes of higher understanding than we as humans currently achieve.
