Yesterday I read a mediation by Dr. James Campbell ("In Praise of Pigeons") on Dickinson's poem and part of it stated: "When I imagine that 'little bird' of which Dickinson wrote, I automatically think of the starlings and the sparrows of my Indiana childhood. I might even imagine the colorful and aggressive blue jays or cardinals that I still enjoy watching. But when I think of hope and birds and bird songs, I never ever think of a pigeon...."
The meditation goes on to talk about the orator's experience with pigeons and he adds, "But those pigeons were persistent, muscular, determined....They never let me forget that they were there..."
And he continues his thought re Dickinson's poem repeating the line, “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune--without the words, and never stops at all…. But it’s not a delicate little bird, easily frightened away. Hope is a New York City pigeon – persistent, determined, muscular, cooing at us even when we do not want to hear her song, reminding us that where we are today is not where we shall end. The exiles will return. There will be justice and equity for the poor of the earth..."
It's beautiful meditation in my humble opinion. I'm grateful to have come across it. I will be speaking with Dr. Campbell re his thoughts and his use of pigeons to illustrate his point later this morning.
My musings re pigeons are not as profound as Dr. Campbell's (understatement) but I have published posts here on Blogger about them and they are featured in my book series, Words In Our Beak.
....is included in a recent blog post.
... titled, To Hear An Oriole Sing, is one I referenced in my presentation this fast fall at NYSEC, (New York Society for Ethical Culture).
Like Pigeons, American robins and Emily, a Baltimore oriole are included within my three volume book series, Words In Our Beak.
Starlings came to NYC 129 years ago today.
Monday's Memo: It's N'tl Napping day!

Edwards, who has served as an NFL analyst for ESPN over the last nine years, was introduced Monday. What was laid out Monday should leave Arizona State fans equal parts inspired and skeptical.
Edwards provided greater detail to the vision for ASU football along with athletic director Ray Anderson, Edwards’ former agent during his time as an NFL coach.
The whole arrangement is completely unconventional and Anderson didn’t shy away from that fact.
And in an effort to combat folks (of which there are many) who believe this weird setup is destined for failure, Anderson brought out Edwards’ current agent, Phil de Picciotto, to explain why he is the right man to lead the Sun Devils’ program.
As if an agent would ever speak negatively about their own client, de Picciotto offered up praise for Edwards that would make Butch Jones blush.
“He feels he can help students here, especially those student-athletes who play football. He feels he can make the right kind of difference. Herm Edwards just fits here. I have no doubt that he will put a lot of points on the scoreboard of life for everyone in this community,” de Picciotto said.
Anderson compared the ASU football program under Edwards to a train “leaving the station,” and he’s urging everybody, even the doubters, to hop aboard.
Edwards is a passionate guy, and he brought it on Monday. He was on board with the train metaphor, too.
The Herm Edwards era has officially begun at @FootballASU.
Edwards, who made sure to emphasize his history in the Pac-12 (he played at Cal in the then-Pac 8), hasn’t been a coach in nearly a decade, but he made it known he hasn’t just forgotten how to coach. He said even in his role at ESPN, he was always coaching football.
“Pat Tillman said when he talked about passion, he said it ‘ignites your soul.’ Football ignites my soul. It’s what makes me go. This is what I do. I’ve done this my whole life,” Edwards said. “Some people will say, ‘Well, you haven’t coached in nine years.’ You don’t forget how to coach.
But for all of the rah-rah spirit from Edwards, there were a few head-scratching moments.
He went on a few tangents, including one where he ranted about the lack of NFL rivalries when asked about the Territorial Cup and another where he used a football huddle as some overarching metaphor for society.
“Before I open it up for questions, I’ll tell you this about football. The thing you miss most, when you don’t play and you don’t coach, is the huddle. You miss the huddle,” Edwards said. “You miss the ability to walk in the room where collectively players are from everywhere. Every race, every religion, every color. It don’t matter, because you’ve got a common goal. You’re trying to be something special as a team.
And there was another moment where a reporter from Devil Digest, the Arizona State Rivals.com affiliate, asked Edwards a question. The reporter, Hod Rabino, gave his name and affiliation as requested by the moderator.
Before Rabino could ask his question, Edwards seemed taken aback by the “Devils Digest” (as in Arizona State Sun Devils) name.
The overwhelming feeling among athletic administrators, between chuckles, is that this hire will turn into a Lovie Smith Sequel – an out-of-touch NFL coach returning to college for one last pay bump before retirement. And potentially paying more than $11 million as a parting gift to Graham to bring in Edwards is the topper.
Maybe Anderson and Edwards will ultimately be proven right and ASU will go from the middle-of-the-pack Pac-12 program it was under Graham to a contender. Whatever happens, ASU has more eyes on it now than it did a few weeks ago. That’s for sure.

Panic buying of Asian markets by underweight institutions, coupled with savings rates which are unprecedented even by Asian standards and very low local interest rates, have driven the Singapore index and many Hong Kong big-caps to pre-crisis highs. For non-momentum investors, this can be justified only in relation to bubble prices in the US and Europe. Hong Kong now has very positive real interest rates, and Singapore may get every policy move spot-on but now has the neighbours from hell.
Having failed to participate in the first quarter, our small-cap portfolio has recently been keeping pace, with shares often quiet for long periods and then popping up as results come out or an institutional investor suddenly "discovers" a new name. The NAV is now $16.09, having risen 10% in the last four trading days.
NAV is up by just over 60% in the sixteen-odd months since the beginning of 1997, and the cumulative outperformance now stands at a respectable 28% over the same period.
Importantly, however, the intrinsic value in our portfolio remains highly attractive: the ordinary shares are on a current year PE of 7.2, reducing to 6.1 in the following year (on our own estimates, which tend to conservatism), and a current-year net dividend yield of 6.5%, rising to 7.2% in the following year. The overall portfolio, including one high-yielding bond but also including warrants and one defaulted bond, has an expected after-tax dividend yield of 7.1% for this year, rising to 7.8% next. These valuations have risen by less than the NAV performance, as the last two companies to report for the years to Dec 98 and Jan 99 came in ahead of our expectations, and we have gradually been selling some of our best performers - such as one share which has risen four-fold since purchase - to buy equally good or better companies which have nevertheless lagged the market and are much cheaper (double-digit net dividend yields, or sub-4 PE's).
The portfolio mix is as follows: we'd emphasise that it has arisen from bottom-up stock selection, not from any pre-conceived ideas of asset allocation.
16 Jan 99 How good is the investment case for Asia now?

The Silverdale-based physicians group will join Franciscan Medical Group, parent company of Harrison Medical Center.
SILVERDALE — The Doctors Clinic will enter a formal partnership with CHI Franciscan Health this week, marking a milestone in the continued consolidation of health care services in Kitsap County.
CHI Franciscan, parent company of Harrison Medical Center, announced the long-rumored affiliation Wednesday morning. Representatives of CHI Franciscan and The Doctors Clinic said the two groups had entered into a professional services agreement following months of negotiation.
Under the agreement, which takes effect Saturday, The Doctors Clinic will join Franciscan Medical Group, a primary and specialty care arm of Tacoma-based CHI Franciscan. The Doctors Clinic will continue to operate as an independent, provider-owned corporation and will be contracted to provide services to Franciscan Medical Group patients.
The Doctors Clinic CEO Jay Burghart said the affiliation will help the The Doctors Clinic weather rapid changes in the health care industry while maintaining its own approach to patient care.
'This is a relatively creative way to work with CHI Franciscan, and at the same time continue to deliver a product into the health care marketplace we believe the patients of Kitsap County appreciate,' Burghart said.
The deal extends Franciscan Medical Group's reach in the West Sound region. The Silverdale-based Doctors Clinic includes about 80 primary care doctors and specialists working at eight locations from Port Orchard to Poulsbo.
As part of the negotiations, CHI Franciscan purchased The Doctors Clinic's surgery, imaging and laboratory programs. O'Connor said some of those services will be consolidated at Harrison Silverdale, but portions might stay in place.
Staff in The Doctors Clinic primary care offices will remain employees of the independent group. Burghart said there might be staff consolidation in the three divisions being acquired by CHI Franciscan. Employees had been made aware of the negotiations this year and were notified Friday that a final agreement had been reached, he said.
The Doctors Clinic will maintain its business office and medical records system and will generate patient bills on behalf of Franciscan Medical Group. Burghart said he could not comment on whether fees charged for services would change because of the partnership, as those details are being worked out.
Patients will receive letters about the affiliation this week. O'Connor said there should be few conflicts with insurance plans as patients transition from The Doctors Clinic to Franciscan Medical Group, because Franciscan works with most major carriers.
A small group of physicians founded The Doctors Clinic, originally the Jackson Clinic, in 1949 in Bremerton. The group expanded over the decades, adding providers and clinic locations. It shifted its corporate headquarters to Silverdale in 2009 and closed its Bremerton practices in 2014. Swedish Medical Center took over The Doctors Clinic practice this year on Bainbridge Island.
The Doctors Clinic President Dr. Randall Moeller said pressure was mounting for the group to partner with a larger organization. He pointed to an ongoing shift toward risk-based contracts, which pay providers a lump sum to provide care to patients, rather than providers charging fees for every service performed. Moeller said risk-based payment systems are challenging for small practices to manage and more feasible when spread across a broad population of patients.
New federal standards also could greatly increase the amount of data providers must keep. Large medical groups will have an easier time meeting those requirements.
Moeller said CHI Franciscan was the obvious affiliation partner because it operates Kitsap's only hospital and already had a working relationship with The Doctors Clinic. He acknowledged some patients and members of the medical community are concerned about a loss of options for primary and specialty care on the peninsula, as more practices link up with CHI Franciscan.
The Doctors Clinic is the latest in a series of affiliations and acquisitions Tacoma-based CHI Franciscan has negotiated in Kitsap. Others included the purchase of Advanced Medical Imaging and Olympic Radiology in 2015, and WestSound Orthopaedics in July.
CHI Franciscan broke ground this year on a $530 million expansion of Harrison Silverdale, a project that will allow the medical group to consolidate hospital services in Central Kitsap.

A week or so ago I was asked by soon to be ISTE president the AWEsome Ms. Holly Jobe to create "a page on the board wiki and/or a word doc with links and descriptions of the tools that would help orient new board members to all the ISTE tools" and I did! Taking the easy way out (this is a very busy time for me!) I curated the info from various ISTE publications, the main ISTE webpage, and used my own graphics wherever possible so that the new ISTE board members would have everything ISTE Social Media on one wikipage.
But as the ISTE board wikipage is protected - ya'll can't see it...so I thought I'd re-post it here (with minor changes) so that these great resources can be enjoyed by anyone, not just ISTE board members! I also think I'm gonna post these as a blog on the ISTE Community Ning. Comment if I missed anything, or if you have a suggestion for inclusion...Enjoy!

LastPass, one of the world’s most popular password managers, came under fire this week, after it became apparent that the service autofills passwords across all subdomains by default.
While it’s clear that this feature has been implemented to provide users with quick and easy access to different domains under the same parent site, web security specialists said autofill-by-default throws up a myriad of potential security issues.
Although this functionality can make it easier for users to access content across sites, Kettle said it was “equivalent to a website setting a non-HttpOnly overscoped cookie containing your plaintext password”.
The potential dangers of this practice can be illustrated using the examplebank.com domain.
Although examplebank.com might be subject to regular security audits, an attacker could seek to obtain a user’s password by compromising a less secure subdomain, such as marketing.examplebank.com, as LastPass would happily volunteer the credentials using the autofill feature.
Some sites – such as blogging platforms – intentionally provide customers with their own subdomain. The LastPass subdomain autofill feature exposes them to cross-user attacks.
Another example of how password autofill across subdomains increases the attack surface lies in the fact that organizations often delegate subdomains to third parties for non-critical functions, such as support centers.
The autofill password feature could also leave LastPass users open to subdomain takeover attacks.
Armed with knowledge of the feature, an attacker looking to compromise an account could simply target the subdomain with the weakest security.
“I think password managers are great but if you’re using LastPass and haven’t disabled autofill, an attacker who wants your password has a lot of options,” Kettle told The Daily Swig.
Users can mitigate this risk by disabling the default autofill feature in LastPass.
The Daily Swig has reached out to the developer for comment.

With every use, unpleasant soap scum residues and stains can build up inside washing machines and dishwashers encouraging mould growth athough the accompanying odours are usually masked by the strong chemical fragrances in mass-produced detergents.
Avoid this problem by regularly cleaning your machines with our natural anti-bacterial formula to ensure your machines are germ and odour free.

Denon Envaya is the perfect utilitarian speaker. Whether you want a soundtrack to your cooking, to fill your front room with music or pack a speaker in your bag and enjoy your tunes on the move, Envaya does it all. The IP67 dust and waterproof rating means there is nowhere that you can’t take Envaya. From the washing up bowl to the pool it is ready when you are. Tuned by Denon’s class leading audio engineers, each speaker has been painstakingly crafted to achieve an unmatched musical performance. Implementing innovative digital sound processing techniques, powerful amplifiers and high-quality speaker chassis, the range is capable of creating an immersive soundscape that easily annunciates the subtlest of high notes, whilst simultaneously having the ability to deliver deep bass tones with complete control and clarity. Simple connectivity and Siri activation allows you complete, hassle free control, from your smartphone.
Extraordinary sound quality is further improved due to the inclusion of advanced audio processing technology, bigger size drivers and more powerful amplifier modules.The sound produced is above and beyond anything that conventional compact speaker systems deliver, thanks to 'oversized' proprietary drivers paired with a large passive bass radiator that fit neatly into this speaker's compact design. Performance is finely tuned with a range of advanced, on board, patented signal-processing technologies that 'intelligently' provide the best possible sound performance from any connected source. The audio tuning is done by our audio experts taking care of the Denon sound philosophy.
Denon Envaya is Water and Dust Proof. The official rating is called IP67, which means that the Envaya Pocket can stand in 1m of water for 30 minutes without damage. To achieve this all connectors are covered by a cap, gaps are closed by gaskets and chassis are water resistant which means altogether no water can enter the unit for a certain period.

I’m really enjoying working on my temperature blanket – even though it’s only a few rounds a day. However, I made a rash decision to work on other related projects at the same time. I began it in December – so that Winter in its entirety would be evident at the beginning.
December was an odd month for temperatures. The first few days were very mild – surprisingly mild – and introduced colours that I wouldn’t have expected until March.
There were also some very very cold days. Using the December colours I made a granny square blanket which I’ve called The Spirit of December. I’ve just realised that I haven’t photographed it – but these squares above are from the project – and you can see how colourful they are.
January brought cold temperatures. In the same way I made granny squares to represent the month as a whole – based on the same temperature colours. Work was delayed on The Spirit of January due to the previoously mentioned shortage of Lobelia, but the final stitch has now been added, and here are most of the squares finished and about to be blocked!
I’m now working on The Spirit of February. So far I’ve used 15 colours – there may be more, but I won’t know that until the afternoon of the last day of the month. I’ll update you on the Winter phase of the Temperature blanket at about that time too.

The blanket, which I’m calling Sprit of December is roughly a temperature blanket for the last month of 2016. Each day I recorded the temperature in the morning when I woke, and again at mid-afternoon. A colour was allotted to each degree, and the stack you saw yesterday was the result. I plan to have it finished by the end of January, and in the meantime I’m working one the Spirit of January, along the same lines. It will be interesting to compare.
Here is a mini collage of some of the squares.
Grannies aren’t my favourite, but they are suiting this project, and it’s a good discipline to work consistently on something that takes determination to see it through.
Author nuvofeltPosted on January 4, 2017 January 6, 2017 Categories Blanket, crochet, This and That, ThoughtsTags 2017, crochet, January, Spirit of DecemberLeave a comment on The ends are reducing!
And now for the ends!
Firstly, thank you for the comments made on my last couple of posts. If you are still waiting for a reply I apologise. I really appreciate them, but find it so much easier to answer via the pic – and I haven’t opened mine for a while. I will do so soon, though, in the meantime here is a sort of December catch-up!
A couple of posts back I showed you a granny square. My relationship with these easy crochet pieces began many years ago before I was married. I began a blanket in shades of white, apricot and grey. There were 8 rounds in each square and my ambition was to make a blanket big enough to cover the bed to the ground, on each side. I bought a ball of colour now and then, as I ran out. Then disaster struck! The shop closed and no one else sold the brand. The finished squares were bundled into a bag and hidden at the bottom of my wardrobe.
Time passed and I met and became engaged to my, now, husband. His mother, sadly no longer with us, was a fellow yarnaholic and I mentioned the blanket to her. lol and behold – she knew of a shop selling this yarn, although it was a fair journey away. So, once again the square production started, although the intended blanket size now increased by quite a lot in order to cover the bed once we were married.
Progress was slow. I had a full time job, and topping up the yarn only happened when I visited my fiancé and his family. All went well, though, until….
…. that shop closed too…..
At some point the bag and its contents were donated to a charity. I had had enough of granny squares to last me a lifetime!
So to begin working on a blanket made with said squares has been an emotional journey. I have, at times, been ‘transported ‘ back into the last century long before the Internet brought everything so close. Back to the days when there were even steam trains operating on a daily basis. Yes, I really am that old!
Anyway….. enough reminiscing let’s get back to the purpose of this post.
Granny squares! I’ve been making a few.
This is just one, but I made 30 during December. That equates to one a day with Christmas Day off! I’m calling it the Spirit of December blanket. I’ll tell you more about the colours and idea behind it when it’s a little more ‘together ‘. In the meantime… I spy a few ‘ends’!

The 1972 Olympic games which took place in Munich, Germany are known in sports history for two reasons. First, because 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by Palestinian terrorists and second, because the American Jewish swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals.
The attack on the Israeli athletes took place only a few hours after Spitz had won his last medal. It was at 4:30 in the morning on the fifth of September 1972 when the Arab terrorists knocked on the door of the Israeli wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg. When Weinberg opened the door, he and Joseph Romano, a weight lifter, were shot and killed by the terrorists. A few hours later the murderers demanded the release of 200 prisoners from Israeli jails because they had rounded up nine Israeli athletes whom they promised to kill if their demands were not met.
The Germans attempted to kill the terrorists. In the course of the fighting which then ensued, all the Israeli hostages were killed. Thereupon the Germans capitulated and let the terrorists go. However, Israel sent an assassination squad to track them down. That squad succeeded in killing eight of the 11 men involved in this massacre. A ninth terrorist died of natural causes and two were evidently assassinated, but it is not known whether this was done by Israeli agents or someone else.
As soon as the cold-blooded terrorist murders became known, American security guards surrounded Spitz and removed him from Germany, fearing that the Arab terrorists would try to kill him also because he is a Jew.
Spitz's achievement was indeed stunning. He won four individual events, the 100 and 200 m freestyle and 100 and 200 m butterfly, and then won three relay races as well.
Spitz won in phenomenal times. His first race was the 200 m butterfly, in which he touched the wall in 2:00.7. His next event, the 200 m freestyle, was even more exciting. He won that in 1:52.78. Thereafter he succeeded in the 100 m butterfly in 54.27 seconds and then in 51:22 seconds he also won the 100 m freestyle. More recently, these world records in swimming have been overcome. For example the Dutch swimmer van den Hoganband swam the 100 m freestyle in only 47.84 seconds in the last Olympics, in which the Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe did the 200 m freestyle in 1:44:06.
At the time the achievement of Spitz was immense and continues to be so today. On returning home to California he was bombarded with endorsement offers. This allowed him to earn more than $7 million in two years. With this money he entered the real estate business, having first tried a movie career, which failed. In 1973 Mark Spitz married Susie Weiner, with whom he has two sons.
Mark Spitz was 22 years old at the time of his great victories. In that year he had already accumulated 23 world swimming records and 35 United States records. Included were two gold, one silver and one bronze medal which he won in the 1968 Olympics when he was only 18 years old. Even at age 15 Spitz won four gold medals at the Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv, where he was declared the most outstanding athlete. At age 16 Mark Spitz won the 100 m butterfly at the national AAU championships, the first of his 24 AAU titles.
Mark Spitz's parents were Lenore and Arnold Spitz. Although natives of California, he lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for a time. There Mark swam at Waikiki Beach every day when he was only two and three years old.
Because his father was a wealthy steel executive, he was able to enroll Mark with George Haines, the famous Santa Clara swim club coach. When he reached college age Mark Spitz went to Indiana University where he trained with the great coach Doc Counsilman. Spitz graduated from Indiana U. in 1972 in time to attend the Olympic Games. One year earlier he was named World Smimmer of the year for the third time.
In 1989 when he was 39 years old, Mark Spitz began training for the 1992 Olympic tryouts. At that time the 6'1" Spitz weighed 185 pounds. However, he failed to qualify for the 1992 Olympics as his best time failed to meet the competition.
One thing is certain, however. The name of Mark Spitz is now and always will be an ornament to American sports history and a source of pride to the Jewish community. May he live to 120 years.

Originally Published: March 7, 2017 9:47 a.m.
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — On Feb. 22, the Navajo Nation filed an amicus brief with the United States District Court, along with other tribes, against the Lake Oahe easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The brief, filed with 34 federally recognized Indian tribes, said the federal government is required to be held accountable in its trust responsibility to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, located in Cannon Ball, North Dakota.
In granting the Lake Oahe Easement, the U.S. Army Corps violated fundamental trust duties, Begaye said.
The Navajo Nation will continue to stand alongside other Native American tribes who face environmental injustice and threats of encroachment on sacred lands, he said.
An oil spill in Lake Oahe could negatively impact the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s treaty rights in fishing, hunting and clean water.
“… There will remain no other contiguous land to which the tribe can resort, the ability to survive as a sovereign community within a defined territory will be placed in serious jeopardy, should the natural resources be negatively impacted,” the amicus brief said.
The amicus brief provided technical and scientific information on occurrences of oil spills and disruptions to the environment, local residents and economies as a result of those spills.
“Because the federal government has acted here in derogation of its solemn trust duties, the motion of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for partial summary judgment should be granted,” the brief said.
The Nation is familiar with similar spills like the Gold King Mine spill, where over 3 million gallons of toxic waste washed downstream into the San Juan River. The Nation is currently in litigation with the Environmental Protection Agency for its role in the Gold King Mine spill.
Begaye said the Nation has a strong interest in preventing future similar incidents through enforcement of robust trust responsibilities for federal agencies.

Andrea Pirlo has revealed that he left Milan because he was no longer in the first team plans of boss Massimiliano Allegri.
The playmaker quit the Rossoneri on a Bosman last summer to join Juventus and he subsequently inspired their Scudetto success.
“Milan offered me a one-year extension, but I wanted three years because I was younger than the other players whose contracts were expiring,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“But the real reason behind why I left Milan was because Allegri wanted to use Massimo Ambrosini or Mark Van Bommel in front of the defence instead of me.
“That meant that I had to change position on the pitch. So I said ‘no thanks’ to Milan and chose Juventus.
Some were surprised by Pirlo’s decision to leave champions Milan for a team who had finished the previous two seasons in seventh place.
“When I was at Gigi Buffon’s wedding in June last year, people asked me if I was crazy because I had left,” he added.
“I then replied that when I decide to join another club, I do it because I want to win. And I also said that we would win the Italian championship.
While Juventus enjoyed the assists of Pirlo, Milan did struggle at times without his calmness and vision.
“A lot of my former teammates told me that they missed me during the campaign,” he added. “But I’m happy as I won.
The 32-year-old has fond memories of his time with the Diavolo, but he admits that their attempt to get him suspended for a Cup game after an alleged elbow on Van Bommel was uncalled for.
The experienced Italian international also took advantage of the interview to praise ‘rookie’ Coach Antonio Conte.
“Conte is a great. I’ve had a lot of Coaches in my career, but never one who has been so prepared, so meticulous in his work and who explains things so well.
“We watch videos of our opponents three or four times a week and it's difficult for them to surprise us as a result.
With the Scudetto won, Pirlo now believes that his side can be a force in next season’s Champions League.
“This Juve is one of the strongest ever in terms of mentality and pride,” he commented. “We can make a bid for the Champions League as we are now by playing in the same way.

It's Friday...we just had our very first fire drill! Perfect Morning....everyone stayed calm....and NO TEARS.....SUCCESS!
It is extremely helpful for me. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this blog Fire Drill Friday, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information?
Fire drills are important and this blog explicitly explained how important it really is. Recently, a fire started in our office. We don't know what to do because we didn't experience any fire drill. Thankfully the fire was taken out fast. This blog helped me to suggest in our office to have a fire drill Friday every first week of the month.
That is really good to hear. Nowadays, people are being refrained from doing various safety measures and precautions like the fire and earthquake drills. But, honestly, I personally believe that every working individuals from all sorts of aspects of life should know how to respond to various crises, especially now that typhoons, earthquakes, and fires come harder than before. I am really glad to know that you guys are doing your best to maintain this practice. I salute you for your efforts.

Is TicketLiquidator Legit, Harmless and Solid?
It was an actual stress having our tickets. They ended up not developed for sale before 48 hours ahead of the exhibit. As we have been on vacation, we experienced no computer system, so we had to pay to employ one particular. The 1st time we did the tickets have been not attainable nonetheless. We then went into the box office environment and so they had no document with the tickets. Then we went to a different shell out machine and printed our tickets and went back again on the box workplace. They weren't sure the tickets have been good quality and instructed us to show up at 7:30 if the gates opened in the event that our tickets were no great. We waited in line for around an hour or so after which you can were permit in at 7:thirty. The tickets were brilliant, nonetheless it was now a second ninety minutes right until exhibit time. The seats ended up not especially proper also, the two large girls at the rear of us have been fifty percent within our seats the complete show. We could have gotten significantly better seats in a cheaper price and avoided every one of the inconvenience if we might have just waited and purchased them in Vegas. A very poor working experience.
Ticket Liquidator is ticketliquidator reliable is one of the initial locations I go to when I'm researching for tickets. I bought tickets for Red Sox and Celtics celebration thru them and i've experienced a very good practical experience. Their rates have been affordable also. I've no main problem with obtaining the tickets also, the delivery. It worked out nicely plus they did an outstanding profession.
I purchase a tickets or perhaps the Miami Heat vs. Celtic game titles on 10/26/2017, on the other hand the tickets had been not legitimate, we checked because of the box workplace as well as the tickets were being marketed to someone else... I used to be below the rain with two young people and after i referred to as Ticket Liquidator. They asked to post a letter head in the Arena as being a evidence that ticket they bought me ended up not legitimate... Marketing bogus tickets really is a fraud.

Cerebral palsy (CP) remains the most common cause of physical disability in children that results from a static brain lesion during pregnancy or early life. Although the brain lesion is static, the physical manifestations and medical issues may progress, leading to altered motor patterns.
The aim of the study was to assess gross motor progress in children with spastic (quadriplegic and diplegic) CP treated with intensive physical therapy (PT) as compared with a matched group treated with a standard PT regimen.
Out of 45 patients with spastic CP aged 2-6 years, 25 patients were assigned to an intensive therapy group (group A), whereas 20 patients were assigned to standard therapy (control group B). Patients were classified according to the gross motor function classification system. The intervention program was administered for 16 weeks, with sitting and walking as the treatment goal. The gross motor function measures 88 and 66 (GMFM-88 and GMFM-66) and gross motor performance measure (GMPM) were used for assessment at baseline, at 8 weeks, and at 16 weeks after intervention.
At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. After 8 weeks, there were significant differences between the two groups as regards the total scores of GMFM-88 and GMPM (P < 0.05). However, highly significant differences for GMFM-88 (P < 0.001) and only significant differences (P < 0.05) for GMPM were observed after 16 weeks. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups as regards GMFM-66 scores after 8 weeks, and significant differences were found only after 16 weeks (P < 0.05). After 16 weeks, all dimensions of GMFM-88 were significantly increased in both groups (P < 0.001). Only sitting showed no statistically significant difference in group B (P > 0.05).
Intensive PT regimens were more beneficial than standard therapy in spastic CP, especially in children with a low functional level.
Cerebral palsy (CP) represents a group of permanent disorders in the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation attributed to nonprogressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of CP are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behavior. Secondary musculoskeletal disorders involving the muscle, tendons, bones, and joints are common as a result of spasticity, muscle weakness, and immobility .
CP is divided into three groups on the basis of the predominant neuromotor abnormality: spastic (unilateral and bilateral), dyskinetic (dystonia and choreoathetosis), or ataxic .
The gross motor function in children with CP has been conceptualized as having two main features: function and performance. Function indicates the ability to accomplish certain motor activity. Performance refers to the quality of motor activity or how well the child performs a certain activity . The gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) was developed in response to having a standardized system for describing and classifying the severity of movement disability among children with CP . The classification system is widely used among healthcare professionals to establish goals, give prognosis, and make decisions .
There is no compelling evidence on the type and length of therapy for children with CP. It was found that a high-frequency physical therapy (PT) regimen, regardless of the type of intervention, enhances treatment results . PT plays a central role in managing the condition; it focuses on function, movement, and optimal use of the child's potential. PT uses approaches to promote, maintain, and restore physical, psychological, and social well-being and also teaches parents on how to handle their child at home with respect to feeding, bathing, dressing, and other activities. Previous reviews have addressed the effectiveness of PT interventions in children with CP, focusing on neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) , strength training , conductive education , and orthotic devices .
It is important to determine the effects of interventions on motor function with reliable and valid tests. Several evaluation measures are available to assess gross motor development in children with CP, such as the gross motor function measure (GMFM), which is the best known and most frequently used instrument worldwide. The original version of the GMFM is the GMFM-88, consisting of 88 items that have been categorized into five dimensions of gross motor function . The scores for each dimension are expressed as a percentage of the maximum score for that dimension, and the total score is obtained by adding the scores for all dimensions and dividing by 5 (the total number of dimensions). The GMFM total scores can range from 0 to 100. The reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the GMFM scores are documented for children with CP .
The aim of the study was to assess gross motor progress in children with spastic (quadriplegic and diplegic) CP treated with intensive PT as compared with a matched group treated with a standard PT regimen.
Forty-five children with spastic quadriplegic and diplegic CP were recruited from the Conductive Education School for Special Needs, Kuwait. They comprised 25 girls and 20 boys, aged between 2 and 6 years. They were classified as per the GMFCS, a five-level classification system with particular emphasis on sitting, walking, and wheeled mobility. Level I includes children who can walk without limitations and level II includes children with limitations in walking long distances and balancing. Children in level III can walk using a hand-held mobility device (canes, crutches, or walkers), and children in level IV are more likely to be transported in a manual wheelchair or to use powered mobility. In level V, individuals have severe limitations in head and trunk control and require extensive assisted technology and physical assistance . They were then classified according to the method adopted by Yokochi et al. , who used a three-level system of mild, moderate, and severe as follows: levels I and II GMFCS were considered as mild CP, level III was considered as moderate CP, and levels IV and V were considered as severe CP. Mild indicates that the child walks without assistive aids, moderate indicates that he or she walks with assistive aids, and severe indicates no independent functional mobility.
Group 1 included 18 patients with mild CP (eight quadriplegic and 10 diplegic); group 2 included 17 children with moderate CP (six quadriplegic and 11 diplegic); and group 3 included 10 children with severe CP (six quadriplegic and four diplegic).
Children with seizure, mental delay, progressive neurological diseases, blindness, or deafness were excluded, in addition to children who had undergone surgical procedures or had received botulinum toxin type A injection within the previous 6 months.
Patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: group A and group B.
In group A (the intensive PT group) the treatment program consisted of five sessions weekly, of a duration of 1-h per session, for 16 weeks. In group B (the standard PT group or the control group) the children received standard NDT twice weekly, of a duration of 1-h per session, for 16 weeks.
The manual treatment component, which used sensory techniques guiding the child's movement by means of graded stimulation, as practiced with the NDT approach .
The training exercise component, which focused on helping the child to perform development-related functions such as rolling, sitting, and standing.
The management component, which consisted of guidance for the parent or assistant on handling and positioning within the scope of daily activities at home.
The rehabilitation program of all children also included occupational therapy, for 1 h once weekly, which focused on upper-extremity functions, hand-eye coordination tasks, and perceptual training.
walking, running, and jumping (24 items). Items were scored on a four-point scale.
A score of 0 indicates that the child does not initiate the movement, a score of 1 indicates that the child initiates but completes less than 10% of the movement, a score of 2 indicates that the child partially completes the movement, and a score of 3 indicates that the child successfully completes the movement. The measure was applied to both groups three times at baseline, and at 8 and 16 weeks.
The GMFM-66: This is the most recent version as it contains 66 of the original 88 items . The goal was to be more responsive for children with major functional limitations and for those with minor functional limitations.
To improve reliability and validity, 22 items were deleted and an interval scale was created. Of the 22 items, 13 were from the lying and rolling dimension, five were from the sitting dimension, and four were from the kneeling and crawling dimension.
The gross motor performance measure (GMPM): The GMPM is composed of 20 items selected from the GMFM for assessing the quality of movement in children with CP . Three of the 20 items are static, such as standing, whereas the remaining 17 are dynamic, such as hopping on one foot. For each GMPM item, three out of the five possible attributes (alignment, coordination, dissociated movement, stability, and weight shift) are determined to be assessed. Alignment refers to the adjustment of parts or segments of the body in relation to each other. Coordination is defined as the smooth and controlled use of movements in motor performance. Dissociated movements refer to isolated movements such as extension of the hip with flexion of the knee. Stability refers to the active maintenance of a body position in the presence of disturbing forces. Finally, weight shift is defined as movement involving the transfer of the body's center of gravity. We assessed each attribute by using a five-point scale ranging from severely abnormal (1) to consistently normal (5). We scored all three attributes for each item simultaneously, based on the average performance in three trials.
Comparison between more than two patient groups for parametric data using analysis of variance.
Forty-five children with spastic quadriplegic and diplegic CP were included in this study, divided into two treatment groups.
Group A included 25 patients (10 mild, nine moderate, and six severe CP) with a mean age of 3.1 years.
Group B included 20 patients (eight mild, eight moderate, and four severe CP) with a mean age of 3.4 years.
The general characteristics of both groups are presented in [Table 1]. At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. After 8 weeks, there were significant differences between the two groups as regards the total scores of GMFM-88 (P < 0.05). Highly significant differences (P < 0.001) were observed after 16 weeks. All dimensions of the GMFM-88 were increased in both groups, as shown in [Table 2] and [Table 3]. Only sitting showed no significant differences after 16 weeks in group B. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups as regards the GMFM-66 after 8 weeks (P > 0.05), whereas significant differences were found after 16 weeks (P < 0.05) ([Table 4]). There were highly significant differences in total scores of GMPM after 16 weeks in both groups ([Table 5] and [Table 6]). On comparing the total scores of GMFM-88 and GMPM in both groups, we found significant differences after 8 weeks and highly significant differences for GMFM-88 (P < 0.001) and significant differences (P < 0.05) for GMPM after 16 weeks ([Table 7]).
After 8 weeks only crawling and kneeling and standing showed significant differences. After 16 weeks only sitting showed no significant differences. Lying and rolling showed significant differences, whereas other dimensions showed highly significant differences.
No significant differences were found between the two groups at baseline. Significant differences were observed after 8 weeks, whereas after 16 weeks differences were highly significant for GMFM-88 and significant for GMPM.
CP is a disorder of movement and posture secondary to an insult to the developing brain. The insult is static and permanent and may be the consequence of different factors, including both genetic and environmental causes. Although the insult is static, the consequent symptoms are variable and may change over time .
Our study showed that the NDT interventions administered for 16 weeks in children with spastic CP had improved their gross motor function as measured with the GMFM-88 and GMFM-66. This improvement was significant for both groups as all dimensions of GMFM-88 were significantly increased in both groups (P < 0.001). Only sitting showed no statistically significant difference in group B (P > 0.05) after 16 weeks. Further, the intensive NDT intervention had a greater effect on children's motor function and performance than did the standard intervention.
Tsorlakis et al. examined the effect of NDT treatment and differences in its intensity on the gross motor function of 34 children with CP, of a mean age of 7 years (age range 3-14 years), with mild to moderate spasticity and hemiplegia (n = 10), diplegia (n = 12), and tetraplegia (n = 12). Patients were assigned randomly to two groups: group A underwent NDT twice a week, whereas group B underwent NDT five times a week for 16 weeks. The outcome measure used was the GMFM-66, which assessed the performance of the children before and after intervention. The differences between the initial and final measurements for group A revealed significant differences in GMFM-66 scores with a mean change score of 1.18, whereas group B showed a mean change score of 2.36. Results revealed that the gross motor function of children from both groups improved significantly after intervention. Children in group B performed better and showed significantly greater improvement than those in group A. Therefore, as initially hypothesized, NDT intervention had a significant positive effect on gross motor function in the children of both groups.
A randomized controlled study was conducted by Shamir et al. to assess sitting and gross motor progress in infants with CP who were treated with intermittent intensive PT as compared with a matched group treated with a standard PT regimen. Ten infants aged 12-22 months were studied; five were assigned to the intensive intermittent therapy group and five to the control group. After 4 weeks of baseline intervention, the intervention program was administered to the experimental group for 8 weeks and the regularly scheduled weekly program to the comparison group, targeting sitting as the treatment goal. In baseline phase A, a 90-min treatment was administered to each infant once a week for 4 weeks, and in the intervention phase B group E received one therapy session for 4 consecutive days in 1 week followed by a 3-week rest period during which no intervention was administered. The same schedule was repeated during the second 4-week period (B2). At the end of each month an assessment using GMFM 66 and 88 (dimension B) was made. During this period (B, B2), the comparison group C was treated for 8 weeks once a week (A1, A2) and evaluated with the same measurement tools applied in group E. The intermittent intensive regimen yielded a mean improvement of 7.8% as compared with 1.2% with the standard treatment. However, these results were attributed to infants with a low functional level only.
Another study conducted by Bower et al. aimed to determine whether motor function and performance is better enhanced by intensive physiotherapy in children with CP. Participants comprised a sample of 56 children with CP classified at level III or below on the GMFCS, aged between 3 and 12 years. To compare the effects of routine amounts of physiotherapy with intensive amounts following the 6-month treatment period there was a further 6-month period of observation. Changes in motor function and performance were assessed by using the GMFM and the GMPM at 3-month intervals. There was no statistically significant difference in the scores achieved between intensive and routine amounts of therapy.
In the study by Deppe et al. 47 children with unilateral CP aged 3.3-11.4 years were randomly assigned to either a modified CIMT or intensive bimanual training. Patients in the modified CIMT group received 60 h of modified constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) and 20 h of bimanual training over 4 weeks. Patients in the bimanual treatment group received 80 h of bimanual training over 4 weeks. This was the same number of hours of training given to our patients but over a period of 16 weeks. Modified CIMT provided a significantly better outcome for isolated motor functions of the paretic arm compared with the bimanual training. Children with greater disability showed greater improvement than those with less disability and age did not affect the treatment outcome.
Intensive PT regimens are more beneficial than standard therapy in spastic CP, especially in children with a low functional level.

This model paper investigates an article “Mobile Phone Applications as Innovative Marketing Tools for Hotels” by Chen, Hsu & Wu that analyses iPhone as a product that has not featured much in the market and among consumers. This is in line with marketing research studied in class and desire to evaluate the practical nature of marketing. According to Chen, Hsu & Wu (2012), iPhone has not found a direct application in the lives of the majority of household consumers. The initiative of this paper is to show that though iPhone has a low involvement perspective, it has survived due to the intense advertising by the producing company. The easy to use interface, unmatched simplicity, high-resolution camera, its massive app selection, and constant updates are a few of the many features of the iPhone that have led it to enjoy global success.
Before developing any strategies or making any other business related decisions regarding the introduction of iPhone in America, one must understand the culture of this heavily populated country. America has one of the fastest growing markets for smartphones. Throughout the past few decades, America has been extensively operated as an outsourcing destination where organizations from various countries minimized their cost-base. Based on this approach, America has continued to change rapidly, and is on the road tobecoming the largest potential market for goods and services (Johnson, 2013).
It is great news that Apple has made something affordable or easily available for Americans. Although the 5c is still costly (only $100 less than the 5s), it is still a cheaper alternative to the iPhone. If the buyer only wants features, then it is better to buy Android mobile phones that offer higher specifications at the same price (Woellner, 2013). However, if a buyer wants the highest standard rather than specifications, then he/she can blindly buy the iPhone. The trends underlying this product brand and the transformations undergone from the initial time to the present form the interest of discussion of this paper. The iPhone, a smartphone created by Apple Inc. and first introduced (1st generation) in 2007, has become one of the most popular and highest grossing cellular devices of all time. People all over the globe are currently using iPhones due their advanced technology (as a competitor to smartphones in the market).
Apple also made an untimely enhancement of the online Apple Store for both new iPhones. Since the iPhone 5c remains too costly for the low-end market, the iPhone 4 will continue to be the leading seller at the low end as observed by Chen, Hsu & Wu (2012). The article enthuses that the price difference between the two new models of iPhone is not enough for operators to drive users away from the top model. Smartphone sales during the 2013 July-September quarter have increased by 23.2 % as compared to the same quarter last year (Wahlen, Bradshaw, Baginski & Stickney, 2011). As observed, the iPhone 5s has been sold out in most markets while the iPhone 5c has built up in stock. Mobile phone sales are expected to rise by 3.4% and smartphone sales to reach 250.2 m, registering an increase of 45.8 % during the same quarter last year.
At a time other upcoming digital devices producing companies are busy looking to enter the second most populated and one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Apple Inc. is already on the top. They had their first-mover advantages as they entered the market early and have continued to be successful as they changed with both American and global developing culture and economy (Johnson, 2014). They use a pull strategy in marketing, taking full advantage of their well-known American brand name to appeal to the target market that aspires to live a modern life just like Americans. Apple Inc. industry is able to understand the target market of its iPhones products, and can easily adapt to the changing demands whenever there is need for it (Woellner, 2013). Such a highly versatile culture in this industry is a key force that would make Apple Inc. to continue succeeding in its production and selling of iPhones to consumers now and in the near future.

By changing our habits we can improve this condition. Using mild soaps and cleansers will prove less irritating. Eating a well balanced diet will average out the condition and slowly improve it. And we all know not to pick at acne postules and bumps, but to stop it and possibly cure it we have to get to the source deep in the skin.
Surface treatments like benzoyl peroxide creams and solutions are at best minimally effective and can further irritate the condition. We need to get several layers down to the source, the bacteria, inflamation, and the sebacious glands where acne forms.
Plastic surgeons know that glycolic and salicylic peels are better than hydrogen peroxide treatments, but they will not reach the source. This is where plastic surceons and doctors use TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid) which is a deeper peel to reach the source, change the skin pH (which kills off the bacteria – they cannot survive in high acidity conditions), and increase skin regeneration by sloughing off several layers. TCA peels have been clinically prove to treat and cure acne better than any other treatment (including lasers and Accutane) without any of the horrible side effects).
TCA peels used to be something only the wealthy could afford, but not anymore. You can still go to your doctor and pay $500+ or you can do it yourself. TCA peels are the easiest, safest, and most effective of all the skin peels and are now easily available. For more details about TCA peels contact the author below or look it up on the internet. Get a TCA peel and start enjoying cleaner, more youthful skin and stop wasting your money on products that don’t work.
An individual may get diabetes when the pancreas can no longer secrete the needed hormones that produce insulin. The insulin maintains the glucose in the blood to be normal. Low insulin means that the level of glucose, which is sugar in the blood, may get high and may lead to diabetes.
The autoimmune reaction is a type 1 diabetes where the cells in the pancreas organ that produces the needed insulin are destroyed. This results to the total loss of insulin in the hormones. This happens because the body has its own hormones that protects and destroys its own pancreas cells.
Although there is no scientific proof why this occurrence in the pancreas happens, some studies have some theories that may possibly be related in this kind of reaction. Some say that this happens when there is exposure of a newly born to a cow’s milk, the infection from viruses and bacteria, and the exposure from food-borne chemical toxins. There is not enough evidence yet to prove some theories that may trigger the cause of diabetes.
The type 2 diabetes is said to progress when there is lack of insulin that is needed to maintain the blood sugar in the body. Another reason is believed to be that the needed insulin not be effective effective to control the blood sugar because of abnormalities in composition. The last reason is said to be that the receptors in cells no longer respond and fail to stimulate the organ that produces the needed insulin.
An individual is likely developing the type 2 diabetes when a person is overweight or obese. The increase of age of an individual is also considered a factor in acquiring this type of diabetes. Some few cases that may lead in this type of diabetes may include when a woman is having her pregnancy, or when a person have some intakes of medicines and drugs. In addition, any sickness or infectious decease that can alter the pancreas production of insulin.
There are some basic treatments for diabetes. These ways can serve an individual its important role in treating diabetes. Here are some ways on how a person can treat diabetes problems.
1. An individual must work thoroughly in obtaining his ideal body weight. Every individual must have a regular exercise and physical endurance tests. People who suffer from diabetes are recommended to be physically fit if possible. Exercises for the lungs and heart may help the person lessen the sugar that causes diabetes.
2. An individual must follow a diabetic diet program. Not being on the proper diet can be a great factor in acquiring type 2 diabetes. It is recommended that a person must lose weight if he is an overweight person. It is advisable that a person must be conscious of the food that he takes. Eat foods that do not have sugar content.
3. The option of the individual to have medication and seek the help of a doctor. Every diabetes patients that have type1 and type 2 diabetes can take insulin daily to sustain the insulin production of the pancreas. There is also the new insulin pump that continuously provides the much-needed insulin. There are also new medications that treat diabetes like the synthetic human insulin, Sulfonylurea drugs, Biguanides, Thiazolidinediones, Meglitinides, Alpha-glucosidase, and other drug combinations.
Diabetes can be prevented with the proper awareness and information regarding this illness. What is important is that a person must have a healthy diet and regular exercise to have a healthy body. Responsibility and discipline is needed to help oneself in overcoming this disease.

MC Jessy is a familiar face when it comes to the comedy and stand up scene. Heis not only funny but a recent award by Furaha Centre for his charitable work proves that he has helping heart too.
The funny man from Meru steals the hearts of Kenyans with his dance moves and funny jokes when hosting local show Churchill raw which airs on NTV.
He has made a name for himself as he was recently emceeing at the Kinoru stadium in Meru during the Madaraka day celebrations.
Away from that the talented comedian spent some time giving back to the community at the Furaha centre in Meru bonding with children with cerebral palsy.
“Just been awarded by Furaha Centre for charity efforts in Meru and the whole country, and I have gladly accepted to be the charity ambassador for Furaha Centre,” the comedian posted followed by him receiving an award.
Among other celebrities who run charitable organizations include The Footprints Africa Foundation which was established to help empower and grow healthy, dignified and informed societies in the region.
Others include Janet Mbugua who runs Inua Dada Foundation which helps marginalized girls in the society especially in marginalized parts of Kenya.Stanley Kamau who runs Ahadi Kenya and has been on the fore front helping fight against jigger attacks.

It is a tale as dramatic as Homer and as ludicrous as Humpty Dumpty. It starts with enjoyment and pleasure and ends with tragedy and death.
It is the Odyssey of Tobacco.
Rather, it is man’s addiction to tobacco.
For years we have hammered and beaten the subject, here, there and everywhere. The campaign against smoking has proved to be fair to poor. Despite irrefutable proof that cigarettes can kill you, people are still smoking. Cancer, heart disease, emphysema and 32 other diseases matter little, once you feel the effect of a puff you are hooked.
Every cigarette you smoke cuts five to 11 seconds from your life. That elegant, graceful innocent-looking item, once an icon of sophistication, contains an army of killers aiming at you.
What are those killers in tobacco that gradually end our lives prematurely, approximately 15 years sooner than non-smokers?
Those dangerous substances are: carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that interferes with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen; nicotine, a deadly drug that reaches you within 10 seconds of when it enters your body; tar contains small quantities of carcinogenic substances causing lung cancer; smoke particles, as small as 0.00036 millimetres, most of which are exhaled but at least 25 per cent are trapped on the lining of the lungs and absorbed by the cells. They cause progressive destruction of the air sacs in the lungs.
The only way to stop smoking is never to start.
That first puff gives you relief, delight and bliss.
It causes the brain to release adrenaline that creates a buzz of energy, ecstasy, but it quickly fades. You want that buzz again. The up and down cycle happens over and over. You become addicted to that euphoric feeling and the body craves that feeling.
This never-ending cycle is why those who start have difficulty stopping. It cannot be emphasised enough — never start.
For over 50 years we have known that smoking can kill you, yet millions are still smoking and thousands more pick the habit each year.
According to the US Center for Disease Control, in 1965 40 per cent of the American population smoked, now it has been reduced to 14 per cent after an extremely aggressive campaign by the government. That still means 40 million are still lighting up — 443,000 die each year from smoking.
Younger people enjoy it, older people are addicted. “Smoking is my best friend,” says an old die-hard. Even as it gets harder to find a place to smoke, they manage.
Lung cancer was once a very rare disease, now it is a global epidemic.
Cigarettes were recognised as the cause of the epidemic in the 1940s and 1950s. Manufacturers fiercely disputed the claims and a conspiracy to hide the evidence began in earnest.
Hollywood paid notice and produced a highly esteemed film in 1999, The Insider, based on a true story of a whistleblower in a tobacco manufacturing company, threatening to reveal the company’s secrets. Directed by Michael Mann and starring Al Pacino and Russel Crowe the film was nominated for seven Oscars and received rave reviews.
The US and the UK have seen significant decline, now manufacturers are targeting women, teens and Asians.
Cigarettes kill one in 10 adults globally. This amounts to four million deaths a year. By 2030 it will be one in six.
Every eight seconds someone dies of tobacco use.
Some 15 billion cigarettes are sold daily, that is 10 million every minute.
The World Health Organisation claims the highest smoking rate is in the Western Pacific region where two-thirds of men smoke. According to their report, the Brits smoke the least and the 10 highest smokers are in Andorra, Luxembourg, Belarus, Macedonia, Albania, Belgium, Czech Republic, Jordan, Russia and Syria.
Tobacco use among women is 63 per cent to 46 per cent by men.
When Christopher Columbus sailed to the new world the natives were occasionally smoking tobacco in long pipes, only for medical and religious purposes. Carved drawings in stone show tobacco use by Mayans dating back to 600 AD. Columbus took back some seeds to Europe, where the plant was first used as a medicine for relaxation. In 1560 a French diplomat, Jean Nicot, introduced the use of tobacco — hence the botanical name “Nicotania”.
Even back then European physicians declared that tobacco should be used only for medicinal reasons… no one heeded them then… and millions do not heed the scientific evidence now. Cocaine is easier to beat than a cigarette.
The first commercial cigarettes were made in Virginia, US, in 1865 and the first American tobacco company was formed. Cigarettes were rationed for soldiers in WWI, mostly WWII. With the men at war tobacco companies started marketing to women and teens. By 1944 cigarette production reached 350 billion.
Are we gullible, stupid, uninformed or simply do not care to live long, healthier lives?
If you think you are safer turning to the hookah, the water pipe, known as nargileh, arguila, shisha, hubbly bubbly etc, think again. Not only does it carry the same risks as cigarette smoking, it has more. Those enticing tobacco flavourful juices irritate the mouth, increase the risk of oral cancer and clogged arteries.
Hookah cafés are becoming more and more popular around the world — the US, Russia, France and of course the Middle East.
We have been reduced to begging every smoker of those myriad methods to quit, if not for yourself do it for your family and friends. Second-hand smoking also kills.

A 45-year-old man was attacked by three men wearing hoodies near Springvale Stores on Fraser Road in Kings Worthy.
A pre-inquest review is due to open today into the death of a teenager from Kings Worthy near Winchester who was killed when a Ferrari crashed.
13 year-old Alexander Worth died last August when the car he was a passenger in crashed into a fence in North Warnborough.
The 37-year-old driver from Surrey was seriously injured.

These recordings are not available for health care professionals’ continuing education credit.
As biosimilars come to market, physicians and patients will have questions about the safety and effectiveness of these products, similar to what was experienced with the introduction of generics more than a generation ago.
The Biologics and Biosimilars Collective Intelligence Consortium (BBCIC) harnesses cutting-edge distributed research network technology and surveillance methods to provide the reassurance that patients and physicians want.
In this webinar, we’ll introduce our BBCIC founders and discuss our 2016 BBCIC Research Plan.
Free to AMCP members and non-members may email info@biosimilarsresourcecenter.org for more information.
The Webinar addressed the science behind data consortiums, and also look at why AMCP is engaging data consortiums, managed care specialty drug experts, researchers and industry to help launch the AMCP Biosimilars Collective Intelligence Consortium before the first biosimilars hit the market.
This presentation was recorded to help FDA Advisory Committee members and the public gain useful insight into the unique regulatory features that are ascribed to biosimilar products.

We are urging our readers to be neither collectivist nor individualist, but personalist. This consciousness of oneself as a member of the Mystical Body of Christ will lead to great things.
We are working for the Communitarian revolution to oppose both the rugged individualism of the capitalist era, and the collectivism of the Communist revolution. We are working for the Personalist revolution because we believe in the dignity of man, the temple of the Holy Ghost, so beloved by God that He sent His son to take upon Himself our sins and die an ignominious and disgraceful death for us. We are Personalists because we believe that man , a person, a creature of body and soul, is greater than the State, of which as an individual he is a part. We are personalists because we oppose the vesting of all authority in the hands of the state instead of in the hands of Christ the King. We are Personalists because we believe in free will, and not in the economic determinism of the Community philosophy.
Peter Maurin, founder of the Catholic Worker, derived his inspiration, not only from the education he received from the Christian Brothers, but from his contact with French radical thinking.
Traditional Democrats tend to see the government as a protector from the whims of capitalism, while Silicon Valley liberals see the government as an investor. The government competitively funds citizens to solve problems in a way that an agency never could have imagined. This helps explain the Silicon Valley elites' obsession with charters: publicly funded, unionless, and highly experimental schools.
This belief is closest to what political scientists call communitarianism, the theory that active communities can solve problems better than either the market or the government alone. For instance, a communitarian might choose a neighborhood watch over more police or a carpool system over public transit.
To overcome polarization on the issue of climate change, Yale professor Dan Kahan says in an interview with e360, scientists and the media need to frame the science in ways that will resonate with the public. A message that makes people feel threatened, he says, simply will not be effective.
"Eminent sociologist Amitai Etzioni, says if our modern consumer society is the problem, then the answer is a ‘communitarian’ approach. But can this really work?
Getting beyond the individual is also what Nigerian novelist Teju Cole explores. In his case it’s not people around him, it’s communing with the past inhabitants of cities.
And from individual to common ownership in music: should songs belong to everyone? German musicologist Dr Daniel Müllensiefen dissects musical plagiarism."
"This is perhaps the most telling point about cities. Even in this age of technology – where people can collaborate with people they barely know on the other side of the globe thanks to the internet – success depends, as Harvard economics professor Edward Glaeser points out in his book “The Triumph of the City”, on communities of individuals being in close physical proximity. Hence all the attention paid to encouraging clusters, whether they are in high-tech, as is the intention in the area around Hackney in east London, or anything else. Glaeser and others have plenty of evidence suggesting that future economic growth is dependent upon the ideas and initiatives originating in cities."

'We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak" (2 Cor. 4:13).
I heard a minister say, "Anytime you see a therefore in the Bible, stop and see what it's there for." In this verse, Paul uses the word therefore to combine the two parts of faith: "I believed and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak."
If we're going to believe something, we also have to speak it. Believing alone doesn't make it come to pass. It has to be combined with saying what God's Word says.
Jesus said, "If you believe in your heart that what you say will come to pass, you'll have whatever you say" (Mark 11:23). The truth is, we can spend a lot of time feeding on God's Word, but what we continually say is what we'll ultimately believe.
When I was growing up, I had a friend who was a chronic liar. He started out lying just to get himself out of trouble, but it eventually became a habit. He'd make up a whopper of a lie about some situation; then six months later, no one could convince him it hadn't happened that way. He'd said the lie so much that he actually believed it.
If that can be done with a lie, we should be able to do the same thing with the truth of God's Word. When we first start saying, "By Jesus' stripes I was healed," it can sound hollow. It's easy to think, I know the Bible says that by His stripes I was healed, but I feel sick from head to toe. But as we keep saying it and saying it, soon we'll believe it no matter what we feel like.
How do you come to that place of faith? By feeding on God's Word and speaking it with your mouth. Once you believe in your heart what God says, you can declare it with the added push of faith behind your words. Then get ready, for your answer will come to pass!
God's Word is truth. As I continually speak His Word and believe it with my heart, His Word becomes truth in me. I believe God's truth, I declare God's truth and I receive His very best!
"Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man...and he will increase in learning" (Prov. 9:8-9 AMP).
There is one thing you can do that will accelerate your spiritual growth more than almost any other thing: Learn to take correction - from the Spirit of God and from His people.
So few believers seem to be able to do that. When their preacher gets in the pulpit and preaches about something they already know, about some aspect of life they've already submitted to the Lord, they think he's great. They like him because he makes them feel good. But the moment he stands up and begins to preach about something they're doing wrong, they take offense.
God says that's foolish. He says in Proverbs 1:7 that only fools strike out at, or despise, correction.
So don't be like that. When your pastor or anyone else in the Body of Christ has a word of correction for you, receive it gratefully. Appreciate those who share the wisdom of God with you. When someone points out somewhere that you've missed it, instead of reacting against them, examine yourself and say, "Is that right? Does that agree with the Word? Do I need to make a change there?"
If the answer to those questions is yes, then make the changes you need to make to get your life in line.
I know that's not easy. None of us likes to be corrected. But if you'll make up your mind you're going to receive that correction anyway, that you're going to remain teachable, you'll be able to go on and grow in spiritual things much more quickly.
One man said, "If you think you've already arrived, you aren't going anywhere." Remember that next time someone corrects you. Love that person and thank him for speeding along your spiritual progress. If you'll do that, you'll come out ahead every time.
God gave Moses specific instructions on what to do to be set free from the tenth plague. God proclaimed that there would be judgment because of disobedience and God said that the firstborn of every household would die. But, then He detailed a procedure that would stop the death angel from coming into their homes and wreaking havoc in their lives.
Let's look at these instructions in Exodus chapter 12.
"Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: On the tenth day of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.
And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire; its head with its legs and its entrails. You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.
And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
The Hebrews followed these directions to the letter. Because they followed the directions and put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts and the lintel, when the death angel came to their house, the death angel did not enter. The death angel passed over and went on to the next house. If there was blood on the doorposts of that house, then it passed over that house also.
When the death angel would get to a house where there was no blood on the doorpost, then he entered in and took the firstborn of the household and the firstborn of the animals. The next morning, according to the Word of God and according to history, there was a great cry throughout the land of Egypt. There was great mourning. It was horrible. From the house of Pharaoh on down to the house of the servants, God's judgment struck the land of Egypt.
And so, the Hebrews were released. Exodus 12:14 says, "So this day shall be to you a memorial...." It was set aside as a day to remember the deliverance of the Hebrews out of Egypt. It was called the Passover.
If you feel like you're under pressure these days, you're not alone. Satan is putting more pressure on more people right now than ever before.
He's pressuring us mentally, financially, emotionally and every other way he can. The pressure has gotten so great everywhere that governments don't know what to do. Businesses don't know what to do. Families don't know. Churches don't know.
Giving is always Jesus' way out. Whenever there's a need, He plants seed! In fact, in Mark 4, He compares the entire kingdom of God to a seed. Just think about the importance of seeds for a moment.
Every living thing on this earth came from a seed. You came from a seed. Then you were born again from the seed of God's Word. Jesus Himself was The Seed planted by God. God sowed Him in sacrifice. He came forth and grew up into many brethren.
So when Satan puts you under pressure, go to Jesus and let Him tell you how and where to plant. If you'll do it, that seed will grow up until it breaks the powers of darkness and lack. It will release you from the pressure the devil's been putting on you.
I've seen it happen. When Jerry Savelle first began to work for my ministry, he only had one suit of clothes and one shirt with a pair of slacks to his name. He wore one, then the other, night after night to every service we held. He didn't have the money to even think about buying another suit. I'm telling you, he was under pressure where clothes were concerned!
Then he found out about the principle of seed-faith and harvest. So he went downtown in the city where we were in a meeting and found a fellow on the street who needed clothes and gave him some.
Immediately people started giving Jerry clothes. It started in that meeting and they've been doing it ever since. Today there are many preachers in Africa wearing Jerry Savelle suits! (Even if the sleeves and pant legs are way too short!) He's still sowing and reaping the greatest clothes harvest I've ever seen.
If the devil's pressuring you, don't panic...plant! Plant your time. Plant your money. Plant the clothes off your back. When your harvest comes in, you can laugh and say, "Hey, devil, who's feeling the pressure now?"

Formula E Racing should include Battery Swaps at least until battery technology improves.
Formula E Racing in its current form involves having to switch EVs during the race seems unnecessary, when the Formula E cars could have been designed like the Tesla Model S and have a battery swap completed in significantly less time by pit crews than the 90 seconds previously demonstrated by Tesla motors. The time required to switch e-racers is faster than a battery swap, but having drivers switch cars during a race is just not the standard way races are typically conducted in the racing world.
Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) will no doubt also be forced to impose an arbitrary time period such as 60 or 90 seconds as the minimum time to accomplish a car swap so as to not make drivers complete in a 100 metre dash as part of Formula E Racing.
Sadly Formula E is currently missing out on the opportunity to showcase EV battery swapping as a fast EV recharging method to the general public and thus promote electric car usage even more than their high profile international Formula E races.
The reason behind not using battery swap technology seems to be due to the FIA desiring to ensure that Formula E racing was a safe as possible, which means having applied some legacy rules associated with internal combustion engines to modern EV racing. The batteries in the Rechargeable energy Storage System (RESS) must be made of a fire resistant and fluid-tight material. Such phrasing seems to suggest that FIA is still trying to protect drivers from the dangers of racing with the volatile and explosive fuels used by internal combustion engines rather than the pure electric juice of EVs.
If charging times are an issue then an option would be run the race in series of sprints or heats with the top finishers after a certain number of laps to advance to the final race. Formula E seems to desire that instead of allowing battery swap technology to used they prefer that the electric vehicle industry make other advancements in the areas of EV battery or drive-train efficiency to allow even longer races to be finished with just a single car and driver.
An interesting article, although factually incorrect. The main reasons why battery swapping was ruled out of contention was due to their size and weight being around 200 kilos and that battery swapping that kind of weight would necessitate massive machinery which would not be suitable or safe to use in the scenario of a city street race where the entire setup will be done, raced and packed away in less than two days. Not only that but the machines would have had to be under the cars which is impractical for a low down racer since the only option would have been to put the machinery on ramps. Cranes would have been an alternative, though swinging around 200 kilos was considered dangerous and implausible as an option.
“Deterring” to the race designers.
It could well be a battery swap isn’t a good trade at this time. Mechanical loads may be too high, or the battery may be preferentially distrubuted around the car or their was a lack of confidence in the connectors.
I agree that swap is a great idea, but, the devil is in the details.

That was a recent Quora question and I just had to see how people responded.
Marketing is a great differentiator. For instance, a real estate agent with marketing skills vs. a real estate agent without marketing skills. Which agent do you think makes more money, regardless of their skills?
I enjoy how diverse it is.
It allows you to use your creativity in a strategic way.
Learning marketing is learning life.
I was not surprised to hear all the definitions that were curated from sources like dictionaries, Wikipedia and business gurus around the world. I think we all understand that marketing is an integrated system to promote products and services to audiences that would find value in them.
But it wasn’t until I scrolled all the way down to Joe Polish, Founder of Genius Network, that the nail was hit on the head. I hadn’t heard of the Genius Network. Apparently, it “is the place high level entrepreneurs go to get their next big breakthrough with access to connection, contribution and collaboration, not available anywhere else.” And it costs $25,000 to join. Now this is a guy who can market!
While in the truest sense of the question, it might not be a literal definition of What is Marketing? But in the spirit of the question, it’s the most relevant meaning. It’s an investment, first and foremost. A worthy one, I might add.
This month Wheeling Auto Center hosted its 15th Annual Art Contest for local school children, featuring the theme Turn up the radio, because this car loves to dance. Originally conceived as a way to spruce up their reception walls, the contest has grown into a much-anticipated annual event. An average of 335 students in grades K-8 from eight local schools enthusiastically participate each year. Judging is conducted by Wheeling Auto Center staff and the Pepper Group creative team.
Each year Pepper Group creates a new theme and poster, coordinates the contest and MC’s the award ceremony with Wheeling Auto staff. Past themes include: Cars of the Past, Vehicles from Other Planets, My Dream Car, If Animals Could Drive What Would They Drive and many more.
All winning artwork gets professionally framed and displayed in the Wheeling Auto Center reception area for one year. All participants receive a $5 Oberweis gift card and winners receive $100 prizes at an awards ceremony held at WAC in May. The ceremony has become a family celebration of the student’s artistry.

There are literally dozens of “April Fools” videos like that one, produced by prominent companies from Canadian airline Westjet announcing their conversion to the metric system, to the new pet-friendly Roku remote.
The best prank videos make sense as an extension of the brand or product, so they have some marketing value. But what each of them also have in common is that these companies have a sense of humor. They come across as likeable, and approachable. Everyone knows that people prefer doing business with people they like, but people also prefer to do business with businesses they like. That’s why we market great customer service. That’s why we create easy-to-use websites (nothing makes a business more unlikeable than a jumbled, frustrating web experience). And that’s why reading techno-speak is often less effective than a more casual marketing voice. A business doesn’t need to create a viral video to be likeable (although it doesn’t hurt), it just needs to sound human and appeal to people.
By the way, Google is always one of the biggest creators of April 1st videos. This was one of my favorites this year.
This video was created to share some clever ways to work with eggs. Some of these tricks are crafty, but others are very practical. Particularly practical at the eight-minute mark, where I finally learned how to hard-boil an egg without the shell sticking to the egg.

Growth hormone is so important for health and wellbeing but can you do something about its diminishing quantities with the passage of time? As we age, growth hormone production slows down and it stops completely in the 30s.
Some people have turned to synthetic growth hormone injections but these are too expensive and they could potentially cause side effects. A better alternative does exist and it’s called growth hormone releasers.
There are various kinds of natural supplements and HyperGX14X and HGF-1 are just two of them.
How do the supplements compare and what are their best characteristics? Keep on reading to find out.
According to the manufacturer’s website, HyperGX14X can produce visible bodily changes and improvements in health within six weeks. The supplement is manufactured in an FDA-compliant facility, which contributes to the quality of the final outcome.
The supplement consists of capsules and an oral spray. The two supplement each other, delivering faster results and helping the body optimize the HGH production.
HyperGX14X’s ingredients affect the functioning of the pituitary gland – the one responsible for releasing growth hormone. This is how the supplement delivers all-natural and safe effects.
HGF-1 is a similar product and the premise is the same – its ingredients stimulate the pituitary gland to begin making HGH on its own.
According to the manufacturer’s official presentation, the supplement’s ingredients have undergone clinical trials that establish their effectiveness and ability to increase growth hormone levels in the blood.
Thus, it’s another good product to try if you want to get better results at the gym, maintain your youthful appearance and improve overall health.
… and several other. The effectiveness of many ingredients like GABA, deer antler velvet, tribulus terrestris and l-arginine has been established. Apart from stimulating growth hormone production, these ingredients also lead to an increase in testosterone.
These two combined effects make HyperGX14X a perfect workout supplementation option.
The product is all natural, free from synthetics and available for purchase without a prescription. It doesn’t cause any side effects and all men can give it a try.
The manufacturer’s official website features tons of evidence about the formulation and the health benefits it’s expected to deliver.
The HGF-1 composition features some similar ingredients but there are also a couple of noteworthy differences.
Just like HyperGX14X, HGF-1 is a natural formulation that doesn’t cause any side effects. Men that don’t want the risks stemming from HGH injections should definitely opt for such a natural supplement.
It comes with a money-back guarantee and the product ships internationally.
Both HyperGX14X and HGF-1 are both quality supplements that can be used effectively to increase growth hormone levels regardless of your age. They’re safe, they come in a convenient form and they don’t cause side effects.
If a conclusion has to be drawn, however, HyperGX14X can be considered slightly better. The supplement has dual delivery in the form of capsules and spray.
In addition, the formula is a bit more complex than the one of HGF-1. Thus, if you’re wondering between the two, HyperGX14X is certainly the better product to try.

What a terrific week! This was a busy one for me (still is), but it's turning out to be a fantastic one for shooting. I think most of you have met Kristie and Ric before... But here they are in their day after/bridal shoot. These sessions work so much better than on the actual day because the couple is much more relaxed about their wearing formals, not having to worry about timelines, worrying if they're going to slip on the vow front, etc. It's just a casual time to be together and take some really great photos. OH! And looks who else made a return appearance; DUDLEY!!!!! Soooo sweet!!!
I love bridal sessions. I never feel like I get to do enough of them because I just love them so much. Why? Sessions like THIS! This was the perfect day for shooting an outdoor bridal session; the sun was starting to go down so I could get that fabulous "rim light", the breeze was pleasant, the gardens were stunning, and well, Julia is just a complete doll and is so wonderful in front of the camera!

Weston was sleeping on the bed, and was totally thrilled to wake up and find his 2 older sisters beside him. He looked at them and gave them his biggest smile.
Janelle and Elaine might be only 2 years older, but they sure spoil him with attention!
Who wouldn't like to be big sister to such an adoring little brother?

My beloved Francies are finished! We’ve had a tough go of it, but we finally made it – and all in one piece (well, two pieces, but I’m really referring to the fact that I haven’t chopped these socks into little bits out of frustration). Third times a charm I always say, and it is the truth in this case. After knitting elf socks the first two tries (see previous post about delusion – I can convince myself that any work in progress is going to be fine, just fine no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary), I finally have created socks that fit my feet! Meet my Lightfoot Francies . . .
The socks are Francie by Rebekkah Kerner, and the pattern is very clever and beautiful. The foot shaping is really not as difficult as it looks (I omitted the leg patterning because it just wasn’t my thing), and the socks hug your feet just right. Don’t be afraid of the unique construction – just be afraid of your row gauge. Be very, very afraid of your row gauge. Ok, it’s not that scary, but apparently I am a very loose knitter compared to Rebekkah Kerner, so I had to make a needle change – specifically from 1’s to 00’s. As long as you’ve got correct row gauge, though, it should be easy, smooth sailing.
The yarn is Slackford Studios, LLC Lightfoot Sock, colorway Favorite Lipstick, dyed by Susan right here in Oklahoma! This yarn is 100% superwash merino, and the yardage is great. It is super soft and lofty, and it doesn’t have too much twist the way I think some sock yarns do. Lightfoot knits up really well – I didn’t have any problems with splitting or over twisting. It was also tough enough to withstand being ripped out approximately, oh, 50 million times and re-knit! I’m definitely going back to L&B for more soon!
I’m in love with these socks and as soon as can psych myself up to knit on 00’s again I’ll be knitting some more!
So, it’s the weekend now, and I’ve got my secret wedding present supplies! I’m about 20% finished, and I love it so far. I even took it into L&B to show off (and buy much needed needles) and convinced someone there to knit it as a wedding gift [not for Emily – don’t worry about duplicates :-)]! Don’t be concerned – I swore everyone there to secrecy before I left. Since I can’t really tell you much else about that project, let me share what I completed since last time.
Plain-ole toe-up socks. My Kaffe Fassett’s Design Line Universal Toe Up Socks are finished (they knit up really fast because the yarn is so big – well, big for sock yarn). I really love the colors and they fit great. After looking at more pictures of this yarn on Ravelry, I may have to make a few more pairs of plain-ole toe-up socks in different colorways.
My second accomplishment was getting closer to row gauge for Francie than I have ever been! I’m well into the foot decreases on the first sock, and I’ll let you know if this story has a happy ending . . . In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of my Lightfoot Francies. I think the yarn is so beautiful in this photo that I have found myself looking at it over and over again!
I look pretty cross-eyed in this one. I forgot to look at the camera and not the image on the screen!
I’ll also show you a picture of some very cool sock yarn I bought at L&B tonight (when I stopped by to show off my sweater). I was sitting next to the spinner/dyer herself when Leslie showed me the yarn! It’s called Lightfoot Sock by Slackford Studio, LLC. I couldn’t find a link to the Slackford Studio website, but here is the spinner/dyer’s blog. Although I haven’t started knitting yet, the yarn sure does look great all wound up! Maybe it will become a Clapotis (thanks to Leslie for telling me how to pronounce that – now I can discuss my potential project).

Maybe not. But when government operates like a successful company, it works a whole lot better — and costs a whole lot less.
Those living on the government dole probably don’t even see the storm.
Census Bureau data shows that more than 18 percent of Kentuckians live below the poverty line — only Arkansas exceeds that percentage — while nearly 25 percent of Kentuckians will get Medicaid benefits if the federal government’s race toward health-care collectivism continues.
Voters getting these benefits tend to pull levers for political sugar daddies, rather than for serious policymakers willing to make tough decisions such as cutting entitlement programs.
Example: House lawmakers in both parties pursued a strategy that led to them to vote for spending cuts and real verification of budget savings only after Gov. Steve Beshear agreed to veto those measures.
Put simply: Finance experts say counting on Kentucky to meets its debt obligations is about as wise as counting on a lottery ticket to take care of your retirement.
No government equivalents of those cheeky “freecreditreport.com” commercials exist. But if they did, Frankfort could provide plenty of characters for the ads — in the form of the governor and all but a handful of House members content to give the administration carte blanche when it comes to “restructuring” state debt.
Remember: “Refinancing” means you keep making payments but in smaller amounts, and if you get lucky, at a reduced interest rate. “Restructuring” delays payments altogether.
During the original budget session, legislators restricted Beshear to $130 million worth of “delayed payments” during the 2011 budget year.
In the fine tradition of constitutional, check-and-balance government — the governor ignored them. He upped the “restructuring” to $197 million.
So, when the commonwealth’s credit score plunges, guess what happens to the interest owed on all that debt? Yeah, it goes up.
A mortgage-seeker with bad credit gets stuck with higher interest rates and payments. Likewise, Kentuckians get stuck when a governor cannot stop spending or pay on time.
It all adds up — badly for Kentucky: the lowest GDP per capita, ranked No. 47 among states in median household income and the lowest percentage among all surrounding states of people older than 24 years of age who finished high school.
We could do — and have done — worse.

I cannot find a single fault with any aspect of my stay at Marconfort Atlantic Gardens, whether it be the excellent quality and choice of food, the beautiful surroundings, the charming/helpful staff, the amenities or the location. I can only give a ten out of ten and would encourage anybody to visit which I am certainly going to again next year.
Private bungalows. Good location very close to the beach, lovely and peaceful, staff very professional and friendly.
Advised that there had been breakins and our neighbour affected while we were there, quick to fix lock may have been due to proximity to road so don’t leave valuables out of safe just in case. However very nice don’t be put off.
Adult only accommodation , evening entertainment good however tailored for retirement demographic if you are looking for something more lively. Bar close 11. Good house wine & selection of beverages, wine and drinking glasses , no annoying tip bell or plastic cups.
Very good holiday will return.
Staff were exceptional, professional and welcoming. Food was delicious with a massive choice and a great all inclusive bar. Pools were a bit cold but probably down to time of year (Easter). Bungalows are cute and well equipped with lovely private terrace areas, currently being refurbished and will benefit from a lick of paint. Only real failing was the 'gym' - one wobbly cross trainer and a few weights does not constitute a gym!
Geniunely, a fantastic holiday and we will definitely be going again!
A very pleasant week away and good value for money. Only slight criticism was that the entertainment in the evening was pretty everage - think they were thinking all the guests were over 75!

This non-profit group in Washington needed a corporate and professional email template that they could use for sending emails to investors and people in the community. They wanted to spread the word about the new company and wanted to do it with a classy look and a professional style. We added some images in the template to communicate the fun and educational aspect of what they do, but kept the style minimal and clean because of the audience they were targeting with these emails.

India’s textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back several centuries. Even today, textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to India’s exports with approximately 11 per cent of total exports. The textiles industry is also labour intensive and is one of the largest employers. The industry realised export earnings worth US$ 41.4 billion in 2014-15, a growth of 5.4 per cent, as per The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (Texprocil). The textile industry has two broad segments. First, the unorganised sector consists of handloom, handicrafts and sericulture, which are operated on a small scale and through traditional tools and methods. The second is the organised sector consisting of spinning, apparel and garments segment which apply modern machinery and techniques such as economies of scale.
The Indian textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and handwoven textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated mills sector at the other end of the spectrum. The decentralised power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector form the largest component of the textiles sector. The close linkage of the textile industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of textiles make the Indian textiles sector unique in comparison to the industries of other countries. The Indian textile industry has the capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable to different market segments, both within India and across the world.
The textile and apparel industry can be broadly divided into two segments – yarn and fibre, and processed fabrics and apparel. India accounts for ~14 per cent of the world’s production of textile fibres and yarns (largest producer of jute, second largest producer of silk and cotton, and third largest in cellulosic fibre). India has the highest loom capacity (including hand looms) with 63 per cent of the world’s market share.
The domestic textile and apparel industry in India is estimated to reach US$ 141 billion by 2021 from US$ 67 billion in 2014. Increased penetration of organised retail, favourable demographics, and rising income levels are likely to drive demand for textiles. India is the world’s second largest exporter of textiles and clothing.
Textile and apparel exports from India are expected to increase to US$ 82 billion by 2021 from US$ 40 billion in 2014. Readymade garments remain the largest contributor to total textile and apparel exports from India. In FY15, the segment had a share of 40 per cent of all textile and apparel exports. Cotton and man-made textiles were the other major contributors with shares of 31 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively.
Rising government focus and favourable policies is leading to growth in the textiles and clothing industry. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in textile sector increased to US$ 1,587.8 million in FY15 from US$ 1,424.9 million in FY14. The Ministry of Textiles is encouraging investments through increasing focus on schemes such as Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS). To promote apparel exports, 12 locations have been approved by the government to set up apparel parks for exports. As per the 12th Five Year Plan, the Government plans to provide a budgetary support of US$ 4.25 billion to textiles. Free trade with ASEAN countries and proposed agreement with European Union will also help boost exports.
The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US$ 108 billion, is expected to reach US$ 223 billion by 2021. The industry is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing employment to over 45 million people directly and 60 million people indirectly. The Indian Textile Industry contributes approximately 5 per cent to India’s gross domestic product (GDP), and 14 per cent to overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
The Indian textile industry has the potential to reach US$ 500 billion in size according to a study by Wazir Advisors and PCI Xylenes & Polyester. The growth implies domestic sales to rise to US$ 315 billion from currently US$ 68 billion. At the same time, exports are implied to increase to US$ 185 billion from approximately US$ 41 billion currently.

I just Came back after being on the road for the last five months, I finished this crazy trip with a 3 weeks European tour with my homeboys FNSF. Here’s some pictures I took during this gypsy tour.
Sickboy : Busted Parachute from Goldstitch on Vimeo.
Did this one from Berlin, drew it on my sketchbook and scaned..
Too bad i’m gonna miss this show, two of my favorite artists right now.
Sorry for not updating too much lately, we really need to get better with all this interweb thing. Here is another wall from our china trip, this one is from Guangzhou, a city with a population of 7 million people, which is more than Israel basically. The whole place look like an apocalyptic city from the future, and was really different from any other place we´ve been to. We did this huge wall (50 meter long) together with the local KAPS crew, Uncle from HK and some other cool writers we met there. thanx guys, for showing us around and letting us taste the weirdest food ever, it was a great week!

But instead of increasing our frustration, we should think of combating this Zapp Brannigan Let It Snow Christmas sweater situation, maybe through generating self-employment opportunities and channelizing our energy in that direction. In this manner, the grave problem of unemployment can be tackled to a great extent. That’s all I have to say.
Thank You!Respected Principal, Respected Professors, and Dear Fellow Students! Like every year, we have gathered here once again to celebrate the annual function of our college and today being the last day of the Zapp Brannigan Let It Snow Christmas sweater celebration we will have lots of fun including eating, dancing, merry-making, etc. This day is all the more important for us as this is the last year for the final year students. Hello everyone, today I’m happy to introduce to you about my family. My family includes my mother, father, and my little sister.
Let’s get started with my mother, she is like any other mom. Loving, caring, and concerned but when she is angry, she is very strict. Zapp Brannigan Let It Snow Christmas sweater She’s artistic and seeks to do things that relate to art. She loves to cook and is extremely innovative in that aspect. She is the anchor of our house and is definitely the driving force for our family!

Work, school, grocery stores, gym, restaurants, appointments, and home. No matter where you’re going, there’s a road underneath you, helping you get to your destination. Everyone uses roads, whether it’s by car, bus, or even bike. But according to The Evolving Planet, the asphalt these roads are made up of contributes to over 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide around the world annually. In addition to this massive pollution issue, asphalt roads are also weak, high maintenance, and extremely fleeting. Luckily, a solution exists, and it happens to be something we use every day–plastic.
After growing weary about the potholes around his house, British engineer Toby McCartney recalled how people in India were melting plastic into the holes and decided to invent his own environmental process to prevent this problem. In this process, bitumen, the oil-based binding agent used to hold roads together, is being replaced with plastic waste otherwise bound for landfills. His company, MacRuber, has concluded that this method is cheaper, 60% stronger, and lasts three times longer.
So far, McCartney has paved his driveway using plastic successfully and is pushing to make his pollution-reducing vision a reality in the UK. India and the Netherlands will also be using plastic in the near future, so when is the United States going to jump onto this environmental bandwagon?

Organizing projects take a lot of abuse on the internet, frequently being called “unrealistic”. Sometimes I agree, like when items are just decluttered and lined up on a shelf with no clear system. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, when the system is SO complicated there is no chance the family can follow along. As I’ve worked my way through our house, I feel like I’ve developed a really good grasp for the happy middle. The best projects keep things organized and save time instead of requiring more time to put something away.
We use many of my organizing projects every single day, and they are never spots I have to worry about picking up. It’s glorious! Now that I know some projects have stayed organized over a year, I thought it would be good to do a follow-up of my favorites. You can click any of the photos to see more from each project.
In the laundry room, the pet station is still working really well! We’re in and out of it at least twice a day for Maddie’s food and medicine. Anytime we need something dog-related, there is no searching around, it’s all in one spot. The chalkboard vinyl on the door is holding up and so handy.
Also in the laundry room, the trash / lint bin is a huge help! There was no space for a regular trash can since the room is basically a hallway from our closet to the entryway. Before, lint and trash were thrown into a shoebox that cluttered the room, now that problem is solved and we use that bin every day for both dryer lint and any trash from the closet like clothing tags.
In the bathroom, the washcloth drawer is seriously one of the absolute easiest organizing projects you can do. It makes me happy every morning. No more tipping-over washcloths OR towels. The drawer serves as a divider. And just like the drawer in the laundry room, it doubles as a shelf. LOVE IT!
Under the bathroom sink, the tiered rack for hair products is still doing it’s job keeping a zillion bottles off the counter. Of course, I keep coming up with new things to clutter the bathroom counter. I’m a work-in-progress. I’m definetely pickier about trying random new hair products now that I have a defined place to store them, so this project is saving me money along with time!
In the kitchen/pantry, the coffee station still reigns as one of my favorite and most used projects. I’m NOT a morning person, and having everything organized and easy to put back has been key to keeping this area under control.
Trust me, there are LOTS of other spots I totally fail at keeping neat every day. Then there are other spots that are still working great, but aren’t used daily or haven’t made it to a year yet. The only spot that has been a big fat organizing fail is our coat closet. I organized it on a whim and didn’t follow any of my own organizing rules. It’s back on the list for a new organizational makeover this year!
If you’re craving more organization, make sure you check out the kitchen and master closet. Both of those have been working great for around 6 months, so hopefully I can mark them down as official long-term successes next year!
I love love love the pantry makeover. It’s still one of my all-time favorite Pinterest pins and one of my favorite remodels.
Thank you so much Kathryn, we’re so glad we tackled it!
I have been pondering my laundry room feeding station every since we moved into our house. Still haven’t gotten a good system down. I’ll have to take some pointers from yours.
The chalkboard on the door is so awesome for dog sitters or even when the neighbor pops over to feed Maddie and let her out if we’re gone for a long time.

Stackable parts trays by chrismofer is licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution license.
Stackable parts trays! for Stackabling.
I needed a nice set of trays this size which could stack on my desk, to replace bags of small hardware.
Uploaded are various pocket arrangements. the difference between 1.0 and 2.0 is the concave peg holes are enlarged to prevent the trays from sticking when stacked. I've been printing these at 85% scale, so from 3.0 onward they will be that scale to begin with. I added STLs and inventor files. I will add step files and/or drawings if they're requested.
The trays pictured are Stacktray 1.0 @ 85% scale to fit a Prusa bed.
each used, for me, 120ish grams of filament meaning I could print 8 of these from a 1kg spool. if you had fewer walls and bottom layers, and go light on the infill (it really doesn't need much) then you could probably squeeze out 10. either way, they cost about $1-$3 each. The lids would be <$1.
3.21.19 added lid variations, my logo embossed in, out for color change, a QR code for color change, and a qr code 2 color change 0.1mm layer height version.
** added thick lid as the regular lid ended up being a little flimsy for my tastes. if you printed the thin lid at 100% infill, it'd be plenty strong.
Say thanks by giving chrismofer a tip and help them continue to share amazing Things with the Thingiverse community.
We're sure chrismofer would love a Tip, but unfortunately they have not setup their accounts to receive them yet.

The resurgence of 90s fashion trends strikes up strong emotions for both sides. Someone are thrilled and others are in completely detest. We can look back on the Spice Girls or Titanic with fond nostalgia, but JNCO pipes? Say it isn’t so. Why did we let them fool us into believing tuxedo jeans were cool and blossom hats are cute? The betrayal we felt at the hands of 90s fashion gurus still stings. Donning a 90s outfit is virtually profanity unless you’re attending a theme party.
EDITORS NOTE: We do not condone the resurgence of 90s slang, homeslice.

Joe Lo Truglio may not have been the flashiest member of the '90s sketch comedy troupe The State, but his amiable goofiness and try-anything approach has served him well. After joining the NYU-based group in the late 1980s, Lo Truglio made the jump from stage to screen, appearing in all three seasons of the group's groundbreaking show "The State" (MTV, 1992-95). Lo Truglio's dry, sarcastic nature found him work as a character actor on such shows as the Comedy Central sketch series "Upright Citizen's Brigade" (1998-2000) before he reunited with many of his former State cast members in the cult summer comedy "Wet Hot American Summer" (2001). After a string of appearances on "Wainy Days" (My Damn Channel, 2007- ), Lo Truglio turned in a memorable role in the blockbuster hit "Superbad" (2007), and produced and starred in the soap opera parody "Horrible People" (My Damn Channel, 2008). With later roles in high-profile comedies like "Role Models" (2008), "Pineapple Express" (2008) and "Wanderlust" (2012), Lo Truglio proved himself a solid supporting player in the midst of comedic heavyweights such as Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.
Born in Queens but raised in suburban Florida, Lo Truglio filled his early years with horror movies, shaky Super-8 backyard masterpieces and MAD magazine. An active member of his high school's drama program, he decided to major in filmmaking at New York University, where he quickly joined The New Group, Todd Holoubek's free-form sketch comedy group that eventually became The State. The 11-member group attracted enough attention that, in 1992, MTV offered them a deal to write and star in "You Wrote It, You Watch It" (1992-93), a sketch series hosted by future "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart that sourced material from viewers. After the show's ignominious cancellation, the group rebounded with "The State," which ran for three seasons before low ratings, a lack of executive support and a failed attempt to relocate to CBS with "The State's 43rd Annual All-Star Halloween Special" caused the tight-knit group to call it quits.
Like many of his castmates, Lo Truglio soldiered on. He appeared in numerous shorts created by Stella, a comedy group formed by State comedians Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black and David Wain; and landed cameo roles on the similarly-minded comedy series "Upright Citizen's Brigade" and "TV Funhouse" (Comedy Central, 2000-01). In 2001, Lo Truglio reunited with Showalter, Black, and other future comedy stars when he portrayed an obnoxious camp counselor in "Wet Hot American Summer," Wain's '80s camp movie satire that went from box-office dud to modern cult classic. The following years cemented Lo Truglio as the funny guy in the background: he landed a supporting role in the surprise indie hit "The Station Agent" (2003); and branched out into voice acting with his work on the "San Andreas" (2004) edition of the popular "Grand Theft Auto" video game series. After portraying a hapless deputy in several episodes of "Reno 911!" (Comedy Central, 2005-09), created by State alum Thomas Lennon, Lo Truglio joined the cast of "The Ten" (2007), a satirical look at the Ten Commandments directed by (who else?) Wain, and also starred in several episodes of his semi-autobiographical web series "Wainy Days."
The late 2000s saw Lo Truglio expand even farther. He portrayed a manic driver in the breakout hit "Superbad," and was cast opposite Paul Rudd as an enthusiastic role-playing knight in "Role Models" before playing a nosy teacher in "Pineapple Express." That same year he teamed up with "The Ten" actor A.D. Miles to produce and star in "Horrible People," a web series that parodied soap opera excess. He returned to the big screen with a supporting role as an inept police officer in the alien buddy comedy "Paul" (2011) and bared all as a commune member in the underwhelming "Wanderlust" (2012) before joining Ken Marino's dating parody series "Burning Love" (E! 2013-14) and voicing a drunken toy soldier in the animated hit "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012). In 2013, Lo Truglio scored his highest profile television role yet as hapless New York police detective Charles Boyle in the squadroom comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (Fox 2013- ), starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher.

Well, it’s Monday, and I don’t know about where you are, but here it’s misting down a light rain over the icy slush from the weekend, so… yeah. Monday.
I know it’s live on the big-A (dot-com, dot-uk, and dot-ca), and it will be coming to Smashwords and Weightless, too, if you’d rather get yourself an e-pub. At any route, if you’re looking for some holiday tales (and maybe want to discover some new authors in the process), may I suggest A Few More Winter Tales?
An eclectic collection of winter and Christmas tales, from Venice to the streets of the sinister village St. Botolph in the Wolds, featuring work from twelve authors – ’Nathan Burgoine, Nick Campbell, Scott Claringbold, Sarah Caulfield, John Linwood Grant, Sacchi Green, Stephen M. Hornby, Gene Hult, Catherine Lundoff, Paul Magrs, Christopher Parvin and Anthony Townsend.

TEHRAN – Israeli regime is providing extreme right parties in Europe with covert support to create a rift in the continent.
TEHRAN - Presidential chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi said on Saturday that Europe should stop supporting the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and separatist groups.
TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has told Europeans that making accusations against Iran won’t absolve them of the responsibility for harboring the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) - also called Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) -- who has murdered tens of thousands Iranians.
TEHRAN – Lamenting Germany’s extradition of an Iranian diplomat to Belgium, months after he was arrested on suspicion of plotting a bomb attack on a meeting of Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) in Paris, the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday summoned the German ambassador to Tehran.
TEHRAN - Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Monday that in spite of enemies’ plots, Iran’s security is exemplary.
The permanent representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has called for a halt to U.S. supports for the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in letters to UN officials.
TEHRAN – Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday the recent reports on the role of Iranian nationals in an alleged plot to bomb an MKO gathering in Paris are part of a scenario to deal a blow to Iran-Europe relations at this important and sensitive juncture, according to the official website of Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, addressed a rally staged by an extreme Iranian opposition group in Paris on Saturday, calling for regime change in Tehran.
TEHRAN – A prominent law expert from Geneva's Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies has urged the Ottawa government to launch an investigation into former senior Canadian officials’ connection with anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).
TEHRAN – Denouncing U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive tone and actions against the Iranian nation, Judiciary chief said on Monday that those who are descended from “gun-toting cowhands” are insulting the great Iranian nation whose civilization dates back to thousands of years ago.
TEHRAN – When Daesh (ISIL) forces approached Iran’s borders almost four years ago, the Army Aviation took action against them similar to what it had done against to Monafiqeen (Mojahedin-e Khalq operatives in the Mersad operation) in 1988, Iranian Army Aviation chief Yousof Ghorbani has said.
TEHRAN – Rasoul Sanaee Raad, the IRGC deputy chief for political affairs, says the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) were responsible for the recent riots in a number of Iranian cities.

The first three years of life are a time of very rapid brain growth. A newborn baby’s brain is about 25% the size of an adult’s but by three years of age your toddler’s brain will have reached about 80% of its adult size! By three years your toddler may have learnt up to 900 words! Scientists now believe the toddler years are a unique window of opportunity for brain development, the right nutrition during the toddler years is important to fuel brain growth and may influence your toddler’s school performance later in life.
Iron is a nutrient that is important for supporting healthy brain growth and development. During toddlerhood, your toddler’s brain and body are developing rapidly, which is why toddlers have high iron requirements compared to adults, for instance toddlers for their size need nearly 4 times more iron than adults (per kg body of weight).

We planned to spend a good chunk of a day at Manresa Beach today. A part of this trip included a stop in Watsonville to try the unique Mexican food at Fiesta Tepa-Sahuayo and if anybody is going to spend a day or two of surfing there, we highly recommend visiting this restaurant. For more information, follow the link provided in this post.
It was a low stoke day as for surfing goes, as the waves were a bit firing, then started to mellow down as the beach started to fill in with the tide. I told Wendy that it will come back again in about an hour when the tide starts to recede again. I was right, and the beach started to fire up again, though this time, the waves were really closing out. I tried to ride a few on my 6'6 and I was successful on a few of the waves, but mostly it was so difficult to ride them plus it was tiring to keep moving up and down to find the right spot. Since yesterday, I have been back on a short board programme, and I am now starting to work on very fast take offs, which is really one of the keys in riding short boards successfully. Then comes faster flick up too. Once I am up on the board, I am a bit more confident in controlling the board, so I am really looking forward to really consistently taking off with the 6'6 board.
After finished with the beach, we stopped at Capitola for a snack. We were originally going to have a dinner at Sukeroku on Mission. We always pass by there after surfing, but we never stopped by there. But we were so still full from lunch that we opted for a drink and a snack. We parked over the cliffs and when we arrived at around 6:00 PM, the waves were firing and nobody was on it. I wish I could just paddled out from the pier and it is a bit of paddle out but I could have had some good rides!

It’s no secret that bollards come in a variety of sizes, colors, shapes, and materials, and are used for a number of applications. Among the ways bollards vary is how they differ from coast to coast, including their roles in two of the biggest U.S. states, California and New York. Let’s take a quick look at these differences and perhaps learn a little more about both states.
A visit to the Golden Coast and you’ll see many more yellow bollards than black ones. Yellow bollards pepper the perpetually-sunny state compared to the sleek black bollards on so many New York City streets. Los Angeles and other cities in California also tend to feature more colored bollards than New York, as well as more brushed stainless steel options.
Bike commuting is common in West Coast cities such as San Diego, San Francisco, and Irvine, something reflected in the state’s bollard uses. Bollards are frequently utilized as bike locks in these cities to promote an outdoor, eco-friendly lifestyle. New York may not have the bike commuter numbers of its western counterparts, however, it features more miles of bike lanes and paths than any U.S. city. Since bike commuting will likely increase in New York, it would not be surprising if more bike lock bollards crop up.
Bike locks are naturally one application cities on both coasts use bollards for, as they are also utilized as storefront protection, and in and around stadiums, medical complexes, parking lots, parks, and storefronts.
As you wander the streets of New York, you will come upon bollards inspired by the city’s rich and varied history, such as those in the Dutch and older English styles. Tudor, Gothic, and Victorian influences are also evident in New York, as well as those from the modernist era– the city is home to MOMA, after all. Bollards in the style of black cannons are among those you’ll see in New York.
Like New York, the history of California plays a huge role in its architecture, from Mexican adobe-style homes to those in the Spanish stucco style. And while bollards may be a small architectural detail, the colors they feature throughout California are indicative of the vibrant history and look great against the Mediterranean climate.

How is the overall progress of vintage 2018 and what is looking promising?
Is there any particular Varietal that’s standing out to you?
With your 2017 vintage what wine stood out that we wine lovers are about to experience?
Word is that both the 2017 and 2014 vintages were exceptional years with 2014 being called once in a lifetime. What insights as a winemaker do you have on both of those vintages?
“’14 was fantastic, better for red than white.
Now, hopefully, I’m not overstepping, but obviously, Hunter Valley Sémillon is the global standard.
“I think it’s just a perfect match in variety, climate, and site. A perfect spot in the world. It’s the beautiful white fruit characters, low alcohol, and level acidity, that allows it to age for a long time giving us a beautiful, tasty, white wine. It’s just that unique combination of variety, climate, and site. No one else can do it in the world.
And whether it’s Sémillon or something else what is your favourite wine to drink?
“Myself? My favourite wine is Tumbarumba Chardonnay. Which is why I work at Hungerford Hill. It was the number one condition on my checklist when I looked at taking the job – ‘Where’s their Chardonnay from is it Tumbarumba. It’s my favourite region. Yeah, I love it, it’s just amazing. Complex, intense fruit, fantastic acidity that’s just a real class wine. And, it’s a huge opportunity to make them.
Chardonnay’s my favourite wine full stop. You’ve got to have your favourites.
Hungerford Hill has been making wines with fruit sourced from all over the Hunter Valley and greater New South Wales but, up until recently, your top shelf reds like the ‘Epic’ and the ‘Heavy Metal’ are a blend of varietals from South Australian regions. Why have you ceased using South Australian fruit for your wines?
“The original Hungerford Hill back in the ‘60s had vineyards in the Coonawarra but they were all sold off. So there was a long association with South Australia. We’re not turning it off forever it’s more of a ‘Lets concentrate on what we’re known for.’ We’ve got a range of climates in New South Wales from the Hunter Valley that’s a very warm climate, Tumbarumba which is very cool-climate and Hilltops in between where we can make all of the varietals we use to make the Epic and Heavey Metal. So, we’re going to bring them up here.
Our passion, my passion is New South Wales Wines. I’ve only ever made New South Wales wine my entire career.
Thank you very much Bryan.

Buying quality items not only saves you money in the long-run, but is less wasteful and more environmentally friendly. Companies that offer inexpensive products are in the business of having repeat customers, so they are not likely to worry about the quality of their products. Buying cheaply made items will have you spending more and more money after they break apart in a short amount of time.
You should also only buy items that will serve your life well. Items should be tools you can depend on to make your life easier and efficient. When buying, buy items that have good quality and that will serve you well.
⬜ Will I use this item?
⬜ What is its purpose?
⬜ Is it a good-quality item?
⬜ Will this serve me well?
Items should only be bought if it has a purpose and it is used regularly.

ATD Jet 3 Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printers have been selected by JDR to metre mark their sub-sea power cables.
cables, umbilical systems and marine cables for a broad range of applications.
Previously they had used competitor CIJ systems to identify their products so they knew what to look for when investigating new printers.
The primary requirement was that the systems should be very reliable, with simple start and stop and have a very user-friendly software interface. After comparativ tests with ATD and a number of competitor systems JDR selected the ATD Jet 3 solution as it met all of their requirements.

Here is one of my favourite recipes for using it up lemon cheese. It has become a family tradition for me to make this at Christmas (lovely with fresh stollen!), but I make it whenever I have a glut of lemons too. It keeps for ages in the fridge and, as well as being scrumptious on toast, crumpets or with fresh baked rolls, it also transforms many a pudding. Be warned, though, you may want to make twice the quantity of lemon cheese as this recipe uses almost the whole jar in one go!

Nearly three dozen Florida mayors stood at the doors of the Florida Senate Chamber Wednesday to protest what they called an assault on home rule – the Legislature’s preemption of local regulations to the state.
Hawthorne Mayor Matthew Surrency counted nearly 50 proposals this year that would give the state control of regulations governing a variety of issues. Bills are advancing at the state capitol that would give the state control of where vegetable gardens and short-term rentals can be located to when local governments can raise taxes and create community redevelopment agencies.
“We believe the state has a lane and local governments have a lane and when we respect those lanes we can be a great state,” said Surrency, who also serves as president of the Florida League of Mayors.
In recent years, lawmakers have preempted to the state regulation of guns, minimum wages and sick-leave benefits for workers and ride-sharing companies. The mayors say state lawmakers should stay out of local matters and let Florida’s 412 municipalities govern themselves.
Among the preemption bills moving in the Legislature is an “anti-sanctuary” measure that would outlaw local policies not to contact federal officials when an undocumented immigrant is in custody. Another bill would put the Department of Business and Professional Regulations in charge of short-term rentals. A third would require a two-thirds vote to increase a local tax.

2. Union activists won re-hiring at 6 Adidas contractors in Central America after union-busting firings.
In Central America alone, six different Adidas contract factories have illegally fired workers who took the courageous step to stand up for their rights and unionize. It began at Pinehurst Manufacturing in Honduras in 2010, and repeated in 2012 with the Troon Manufacturing and Flying Needle factories in Nicaragua. This year, the pattern continued when union leaders were fired at Textiles Opico in El Salvador, and Centro Textil and Handsome in Nicaragua. We are happy to report that in all six cases, a combination of worker protests and international pressure on Adidas succeeded in the workers winning back their jobs to continue pressing forward in defense of their and their coworkers' rights on the job.
3. Indian workers at Adidas contractor Gokaldas forced factories to finally obey the local wage law.
Gokaldas Exports Group, a major Adidas supplier in India, refused to properly implement cost of living increase in the minimum wage (VDA) that was legally mandated in April 2013 in any of their factories. Managers appeared to pay the VDA but at the same time unilaterally cut workers' stipends for housing and transportation to work, effectively nulling the raise for workers. Through the Garment and Textile Workers Union (GATWU), workers took action and directly pressured Adidas and other Gokaldas buyers. As a result of this pressure, workers won full implementation of the VDA increase retroactively back to April, 2013.
4. Indonesia workers won stolen wages from Adidas and its shuttered contractor, PT Kizone.
The owner of PT Kizone in Indonesia, which spent years making university apparel for Adidas and other brands, suddenly fled in 2011, abandoning 2,700 workers and robbing them of $1.8 million (USD) in unpaid wages and severance. While Nike and the Dallas Cowboys quickly chipped in, Adidas denied responsibility for the contractor, provoking a intense international campaign, especially at U.S. universities. Finally in April 2013, the former workers and their union negotiated a landmark settlement agreement with Adidas, with close guidance before and during the negotiations from League unionists with experience in similar cases in Honduras and El Salvador.
5. Honduran workers made major steps forward with Fruit of the Loom.
On October 25, Jerzees Buena Vista became the second Fruit of the Loom factory to sign a collective bargaining agreement with workers' union, affiliated to the CGT union confederation. In July, the sister union at Jerzees Nuevo Dia had negotiated an additional wage raise to their 2010 collective bargaining agreement, the product of a landmark agreement between the CGT and Fruit of the Loom. Workers at both facilities now earn wages significantly higher than those at their non-union competitors, such as Hanesbrands and Gildan Activewear. Workers have also formed unions at Fruit's VFI facility in Honduras and most recently at the Joya De Ceren factory in El Salvador. Last week, United Students Against Sweatshops lauded Fruit as it became one of the first U.S. companies to join the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, and was the first international brand to publicly accept findings and recommendations by the Worker Rights Consortium regarding widespread minimum wage violations in Haiti.
6. Bangladeshi workers turned tragedy into first steps forward on factory safety, wages and labor rights.
98 years ago, U.S. unionist Joe Hill famously urged his comrades on the eve of his execution, "don't mourn, organize." Bangladeshi garment workers have faced a series of unthinkable tragedies, from the 2012 torture and murder of labor activist Aminul Islam, to the wake of the horrific collapse of the 8-story Rana Plaza factory building in April. But the country's unionists have refused to back down. Facing intense international pressure, a growing number of international brands have signed an agreement with a number of Bangladeshi garment unions, known as the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. Later in the year, after years of mass protests by garment workers paid the world's lowest wage, the national minimum wage was nearly doubled. Feeling the heat of the international spotlight, the Bangladeshi government allowed some labor law reforms, which unionists quickly condemned for ignoring key shortcomings, such as the prohibition on labor unions in the export-processing zones.
7. One thousand Cambodian union activists are back to work after a 4-month strike and violent repression at SL Garment Processing.
A lengthy labor struggle against mistreatment by management at Cambodia's SL Garment Processing culminated in live ammunition fired at striking workers, injuring 8 workers and killing a nearby street vendor. The conflict involved the firing of about 1,000 union activists. Workers refused to back down, and kept the strike up for four months while demanding resolution from the international brands using the facility like H&M, Inditex, Gap and Levi Strauss. Finally, in December, the union C.CAWDU reached an agreement with management. All of the unionists have been rehired, and C.CAWDU continues pressing for implementation of the back pay owed to workers per the agreement.
The Turkish textile-garment union TEKSiF ended a national strike with 100% member participation on August 23, 2013 after coming to an historic agreement with the main Turkish textile-garment employers' association. The agreement included, which covers 20,000 workers in thirty factories, includes an increased annual bonus, increased overtime compensation, increased general wages, increased retirement contributions by employers, and ending subcontracted labor in covered factories. All of this was gained under a government openly hostile to workers, brutally repressing union demonstrations in the months leading up to the strike.
Let's make 2014 a year of far larger victories in the global garment industry. Please begin a monthly donation today.

What did we do in the fall of 1973? We sat at the brink of a precipice: Vietnam was winding down but the scandal that would end a presidency was just beginning to unspool. Richard Nixon was about to let loose his famous line to a gathering of journalists in Florida: "I'm not a crook," the president said. A year later was gone.
In the course of reporting a 2015 story on cottage cheese, NPR's Dan Charles came across an official White House photo of the meal Nixon ate right before he went on TV to announce his resignation: one lonely scoop of that controversial cheese on a bed of pineapple. The two ingredients are arranged artfully, if sparsely, on White House china; Nixon washed it down with a glass of milk.
"Once upon a time the tomato was taboo in polite society," the magazine wrote. "With it smooth skin (colored a sinful scarlet) and questionable family connections (the notorious nightshades), it was looked upon as lust-provoking and probably lethal, a double stigma not easy to overcome." Gourmet overcame nonetheless, with a whole suite of recipes for stuffed tomatoes.
"Como, the favorite resort of our grandparents, today has been rediscovered by our children." This declaration is in reference to Lake Como, an Alpine body of water that, according to Gourmet, "looks like a frog's leg garnished with herbs," and where guests to the swank resort feasted on dishes like jambon le tout Paris—ham steaks with curry sauce.
It was the end of the season, after all, the time when we cling to the last of the summer crop, figuring out ways to make it last, make it last, make it last. The magazine presented a menu of options, including a take-no-prisoners English hot-pepper sauce, which specifies to leave the seeds in: "the sauce should be very hot." A healthy dose of sugar tames things somewhat.

Labor Day came and went, and now everyone feels like summer is over. Technically, there's a little summer left. That means you should probably house as much ice cream as possible before it's truly soup weather.
Dairy Queen could help you tie a bow on summer with a buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO) Blizzard offer in its mobile app. Like other ongoing deals in the app -- BOGO sundaes and a free Blizzard for downloading the app -- it's pretty easy to take advantage of the freebie.
You'll find the BOGO Blizzards in the "Offers" section of the DQ app. With the deal, you can get a second Blizzard Treat of equal or lesser value for free through September 15 at participating locations, which does not include DQs in Texas or Canada. Unlike Wendy's cheeseburger freebie or McDonald's offer of free fries every day this month, you can only redeem the BOGO Blizzard one time.
If you aren't buying the whole "summer's not truly over" schtick, you can bridge the gap and go for the Fan Food chain's pumpkin-flavored Blizzard. It's an order that says, "I understand it's basically fall, but I'm an adult and I'll eat ice cream whenever I damn well please."
