Thanks to the DKG board for the authorization to use the ressources of the the DKG for free distribution of KuaS back issues.
The Deutsche Kakteen-Gesellschaft (German Cactus Society) was founded in 1892 (first as the “Gesellschaft der Kakteenfreunde”) and is one of the oldest societies still existing for lovers of cacti and other succulents. From 1892 to 1922, the “Monatsschrift für Kakteenkunde”, from 1923 to 1928 the “Zeitschrift für Sukkulentenkunde”, from 1929 to 1932 the “Monatsschrift der Deutschen Kakteen-Gesellschaft ”, from 1933 to 1943 the “ Kakteenkunde ”, from 1938 until 1943 “Beiträge zur Sukkulentenkunde und –pflege” and 1937-1938 “Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten” were published by the society. After the second world war, in 1949, there followed the publication of the journal “Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten”, and since 1957, together with the Schweizerischen Kakteen-Gesellschaft (Swiss Cactus Society) and the Gesellschaft der Österreichischen Kakteenfreunde (Society of Austrian Friends of Cacti).
“Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten” has been published monthly since 1957 and has become over the years one of the most important journals on cacti and other succulents. It is the world's largest circulation magazine on the subject.

HealthCare Partners was founded on the belief that a Coordinated Care Model creates the best patient outcomes. Healthcare in the United States is not often coordinated. In fact, a patient seeking care for a complex disease often ends up seeing a series of specialists and receiving a series of medical and hospital services with little, if any, coordination among the providers.
Fortunately, alternatives to this fragmented healthcare delivery system exist, and HealthCare Partners has been a pioneer in this area. Since the mid-1970s, HealthCare Partners and its predecessors have developed models of delivering coordinated care, with a primary care physician at the center. We provide quality healthcare and positive patient experiences for an ever-growing number of communities, while holding back escalating healthcare costs through greater efficiency.
When providers work together to coordinate a patient's care, the result can be happier, healthier patients, faster recovery by those who are ill or hospitalized, and improved quality of life for those with serious and chronic conditions.
Provides self-management for people with chronic disease and prevention services.
Provides long-term, whole-person care enhancement for patients with diabetes, COPD, CHF, CKD, depression, dementia, cancer, and organ transplant, using a multidisciplinary team approach.
Provides intensive one-on-one physician/nurse-patient care and case management for the highest risk, most complex patients, using highly trained physicians and care managers who are closely integrated into community resources, physician offices, and/or clinics.
Provides in-home medical and palliative care management for frail and homebound patients who have physical, mental, social, and financial limitations, using specialized physicians, nurse care managers, and social workers.

Database mirroring is a primarily software solution for increasing database availability. Mirroring is implemented on a per-database basis and works only with databases that use the full recovery model. The simple and bulk-logged recovery models do not support database mirroring. Therefore, all bulk operations are always fully logged. Database mirroring works with any supported database compatibility level.
You cannot mirror the master, msdb, tempdb, or model databases.
Database mirroring maintains two copies of a single database that must reside on different server instances of SQL Server Database Engine. Typically, these server instances reside on computers in different locations. One server instance serves the database to clients (the principal server). The other instance acts as a hot or warm standby server (the mirror server), depending on the configuration and state of the mirroring session. When a database mirroring session is synchronized, database mirroring provides a hot standby server that supports rapid failover without a loss of data from committed transactions. When the session is not synchronized, the mirror server is typically available as a warm standby server (with possible data loss).
Database mirroring provides complete or almost complete redundancy of the data, depending on whether the operating mode is high-safety or high-performance. For more information, see "Operating Modes," later in this topic.
A database mirroring partner running on SQL Server 2008 Enterprise or later versions automatically tries to resolve certain types of errors that prevent reading a data page. The partner that is unable to read a page requests a fresh copy from the other partner. If this request succeeds, the unreadable page is replaced by the copy, which usually resolves the error. For more information, see Automatic Page Repair During a Database Mirroring Session.
In the event of a disaster, in high-safety mode with automatic failover, failover quickly brings the standby copy of the database online (without data loss). In the other operating modes, the database administrator has the alternative of forcing service (with possible data loss) to the standby copy of the database. For more information, see "Role Switching," later in this topic.
To minimize downtime for a mirrored database, you can sequentially upgrade the instances of SQL Server that are participating in a database mirroring session. This will incur the downtime of only a single failover. This form of upgrade is known as a rolling upgrade. For more information, see How to: Install a Service Pack on a System with Minimal Downtime for Mirrored Databases.
The principal and mirror servers communicate and cooperate as partners in a database mirroring session. The two partners perform complementary roles in the session: the principal role and the mirror role. At any given time, one partner performs the principal role, and the other partner performs the mirror role. Each partner is described as owning its current role. The partner that owns the principal role is known as the principal server, and its copy of the database is the current principal database. The partner that owns the mirror role is known as the mirror server, and its copy of the database is the current mirror database. When database mirroring is deployed in a production environment, the principal database is the production database.
Database mirroring involves redoing every insert, update, and delete operation that occurs on the principal database onto the mirror database as quickly as possible. Redoing is accomplished by sending a stream of active transaction log records to the mirror server, which applies log records to the mirror database, in sequence, as quickly as possible. Unlike replication, which works at the logical level, database mirroring works at the level of the physical log record. Beginning in SQL Server 2008, the principal server compresses the stream of transaction log records before sending it to the mirror server. This log compression occurs in all mirroring sessions.
A database mirroring session runs with either synchronous or asynchronous operation. Under asynchronous operation, the transactions commit without waiting for the mirror server to write the log to disk, which maximizes performance. Under synchronous operation, a transaction is committed on both partners, but at the cost of increased transaction latency.
There are two mirroring operating modes. One of them, high-safety mode supports synchronous operation. Under high-safety mode, when a session starts, the mirror server synchronizes the mirror database together with the principal database as quickly as possible. As soon as the databases are synchronized, a transaction is committed on both partners, at the cost of increased transaction latency.
The second operating mode, high-performance mode, runs asynchronously. The mirror server tries to keep up with the log records sent by the principal server. The mirror database might lag somewhat behind the principal database. However, typically, the gap between the databases is small. However, the gap can become significant if the principal server is under a heavy work load or the system of the mirror server is overloaded.
In high-performance mode, as soon as the principal server sends a log record to the mirror server, the principal server sends a confirmation to the client. It does not wait for an acknowledgement from the mirror server. This means that transactions commit without waiting for the mirror server to write the log to disk. Such asynchronous operation enables the principal server to run with minimum transaction latency, at the potential risk of some data loss.
All database mirroring sessions support only one principal server and one mirror server. This configuration is shown in the following illustration.
High-safety mode with automatic failover requires a third server instance, known as a witness. Unlike the two partners, the witness does not serve the database. The witness supports automatic failover by verifying whether the principal server is up and functioning. The mirror server initiates automatic failover only if the mirror and the witness remain connected to each other after both have been disconnected from the principal server.
The following illustration shows a configuration that includes a witness.
For more information, see "Role Switching," later in this topic.
Establishing a new mirroring session requires that all involved server instances run the same version of SQL Server. However, when you upgrade to SQL Server 2008, the versions of the involved instances can vary. For more information, see How to: Minimize Downtime for Mirrored Databases When Upgrading Server Instances.
Whether an operating mode is asynchronous or synchronous depends on the transaction safety setting. If you exclusively use SQL Server Management Studio to configure database mirroring, transaction safety settings are configured automatically when you select the operation mode.
If you use Transact-SQL to configure database mirroring, you must understand how to set transaction safety. Transaction safety is controlled by the SAFETY property of the ALTER DATABASE statement. On a database that is being mirrored, SAFETY is either FULL or OFF.
If the SAFETY option is set to FULL, database mirroring operation is synchronous, after the initial synchronizing phase. If a witness is set in high-safety mode, the session supports automatic failover.
If the SAFETY option is set to OFF, database mirroring operation is asynchronous. The session runs in high-performance mode, and the WITNESS option should also be OFF.
For more information, see Transact-SQL Settings and Database Mirroring Operating Modes.
Within the context of a database mirroring session, the principal and mirror roles are typically interchangeable in a process known as role switching. Role switching involves transferring the principal role to the mirror server. In role switching, the mirror server acts as the failover partner for the principal server. When a role switch occurs, the mirror server takes over the principal role and brings its copy of the database online as the new principal database. The former principal server, if available, assumes the mirror role, and its database becomes the new mirror database. Potentially, the roles can switch back and forth repeatedly.
The following three forms of role switching exist.
This requires high-safety mode and the presence of the mirror server and a witness. The database must already be synchronized, and the witness must be connected to the mirror server.
The role of the witness is to verify whether a given partner server is up and functioning. If the mirror server loses its connection to the principal server but the witness is still connected to the principal server, the mirror server does not initiate a failover. For more information, see Database Mirroring Witness.
This requires high-safety mode. The partners must be connected to each other, and the database must already be synchronized.
Under high-performance mode and high-safety mode without automatic failover, forcing service is possible if the principal server has failed and the mirror server is available.
High-performance mode is intended to run without a witness. But if a witness exists, forcing service requires that the witness is connected to the mirror server.
In any role-switching scenario, as soon as the new principal database comes online, the client applications can recover quickly by reconnecting to the database.
Database mirroring can be used with the following features or components of SQL Server.
Since SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1), database mirroring partners and witnesses have been supported by SQL Server Standard and SQL Server Enterprise. However, the partners must use the same edition, and asynchronous database mirroring (high-performance mode) is supported only by SQL Server Enterprise. Witnesses are also supported by SQL Server Workgroup and SQL Server Express.

Russian Winters debut album LAST BATTLES was released nationally in Sept 2011. "beautifully constructed . . elements of early Radiohead" Drum Media CD of the Week (for Last Battles) "accomplished, adventurous and completely engaging . .one of the most talented songwriting collectives in WA and indeed the country." The Wire Mag "I was already into this song and then the trumpets came out! Then vocal harmonies! This tune just keeps giving and giving. Awesome stuff." 4/5 Dom Alessio, triple j (for Pacific) "Pacific is a poetically forceful track . . feast your ears and get ready for much bigger things from these guys." Drum Media - SINGLE OF THE WEEK (for Pacific) Last Battles was produced by Dave Parkin (Jebediah, Red Jezebel, Sons of Rico) and Russian Winters at Blackbird Studios in Perth. First single, 'Pacific' is a thumping slice of dark indie pop - a reflection of the sound the band achieved over 10 months of writing. Old grunge faves, UK shoegaze flashbacks and American indie-folk harmony bands were thrown on the reference CD to compliment the Winters’ brooding structures, washy guitars and overdriven vocals. The band was picked by Triple J Unearthed to play Parklife 2011 in Perth. 'Twas a lovely way to celebrate the album's release! Last Battles has been getting some ace reviews around the country and the band is gearing up for a 2012 national tour.
Really liking this boys! The trumpets are the best.
You lads seem to find creative inspiration in the strangest of places, but with results as spiky and fun as this I'm not complaining.
This grabs you from the first listen, with its wonky guitar hook, but it takes a few more to really sink in. From the Split Enz-ish vocals to the overtly thumping drums. Dig.

I don’t know about you, but I recently found myself thinking, “how is it November already?” As unbelievable as it seems, the Holidays - that crazy time of year when you celebrate, eat, shop and repeat – have arrived. With all the comings and goings of the season, we often lose sight of the healthy habits we’ve worked towards over the past year. Working out? Who has the time? Eating healthy? Ha! And last but certainly not least, a regular sleep schedule? There’s simply too much to do, right?
Wrong. Before you tailspin into the season of doing... I mean giving, you have got to set sleep goals for you and your family, especially your little ones. We know that the health and wellness of your munchkin is at the top of your list every day, but what about at night? According to our partners at the National Sleep Foundation, school-aged children (6 to 13 years old) need between 9 and 11 hours of sleep every night in order to help prevent sleep disorders and health related issues. These are serious health concerns, and enforcing a regular and consistent sleep schedule and bedtime routine are critical keys to success, regardless of the time of year.
Our PureCare Kids collection is specifically designed for growing children from 3 to 13, and offers premium youth pillows, protectors and pillowcases that provide the comfort and wellness benefits that your growing child needs. Give your youngster a head start with proper sleep support from PureCare One Kids pillows. Or check out the adjustable constructions of our Rise & Shine youth pillows, which are designed to grow and change just a quickly as your kiddo. Don’t forget the basics of mattress and pillow protection, which help to keep harmful allergens and irritants like dust mites, bacteria, and moisture from building up in your child’s sleep environment. And don’t worry, our entire Kids collection is completely washable – pillows and all!
Sweet dreams for your little ones start right here this holiday season.
What’s Living in Your Mattress & Pillows?
With Halloween just around the corner, many of us are busy decorating the house with ghosts, ghouls and creepy-crawlies. But the truth of the matter is that this isn’t the only time of year that we share our homes with things that could make your skin crawl. Take for instance what’s most likely been living in your mattress and pillows all year… bacteria, allergens and dust mites – oh my!
While an estimated 66% of Americans are planning to take part in Halloween festivities this year, only a small percentage are protecting their sleep environments from the creepy-crawlies that invade them year round. This seems crazy considering the fact that over 60 million Americans suffer from allergies and allergen-induced asthma, which are often triggered by dust mites and other allergens in the sleep environment. That means that of the estimated 42 million trick-or-treaters hitting the streets this year, only a few will be protected when they finally hit the sheets Halloween night.
I’d say it’s time to keep the critters and creatures of the night at bay with PureCare’s collection of bedding and pillow protectors. Our protectors are clinically tested by Dr. Philip M. Teirno, Jr., Director of Clinical Microbiology& Immunology at New York University. According to Dr. Tierno, “The accumulated quantities of allergens that build up in your mattress over time like fungi, bacteria, dust mites, dander and numerous other particulates can lead to exacerbations of asthma and allergies or contribute to their development.” Dr. Tierno’s straight forward solution? “A medical quality mattress protector is the solution” to providing day-long, year-round protection for your family.
Sleep tight…and don’t let the bed bugs bite this Halloween!

The Big Smoke, the home of the West End, and a regal choice for travelers seeking a destination hot on events, glorious history, evocative museums, and spectacular shopping – London has it all. from wandering the gold leaf state rooms of Buckingham Palace to helicopter flights above Westminster, afternoon tea at The Ritz, and catching controversial exhibitions at the Tate; you may tire of the weather, but you will never tire of the Great British capital.
The Taj 51 is one of London’s most delightful places to stay, boasting an unrivalled location only five minutes from Buckingham Palace. A mesmerizing history makes the Taj stand out – once an almshouse for the poor owned by a relative of Anne Boleyn, then a meeting place for nobility, and now a glorious hotel. Expect emerald brickwork depicting Shakespeare plays, mosaic floors, peacock wallpaper, and 19th century paintings. Expect libraries lined with glass and globes, and expect 24 karat afternoon tea and access to the best Indian restaurant in London.
If you like to take breakfast with duchesses and dukes, then The Goring could be just the spot for you. This historic hotel played host to the Duchess Kate Middleton the night before her wedding. In the summer months patrons can play croquet on the lawn, an array of footmen, butlers, and personnel are there to serve, and the Royal Suite stretches the length of the building and boasts a grand piano, swathes of silk and Georgian glassware.
The Ritz is nothing short of an institution in London and a firm favorite for well-heeled visitors looking for the best afternoon tea. Tradition is the name of the game here, with white gloved doormen, Louis XVI suites, and Michelin starred chefs taking up the helm to serve at one of Europe’s most dashing dining rooms.
While Britain doesn’t have a sterling reputation when it comes to cuisine, London is a smorgasbord of creative culinary skills. You can taste the Finest French food at Le Gavroche, with its impeccable 8 course tasting menu serving up everything from clam minestrone to Scottish beef in red wine, French artisanal cheeses, and perfect pastel petit fours.
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is also one of the only chefs to have been awarded three Michelin stars. Every tantalizing touch is as lavish as they come; think a whole menu dedicated to black truffles and a tasting menu composed of foie gras, Dorset crab with caviar, saddle of venison, lobster and a citrus vacherin.
Leave fussy French palates behind and opt for the clean razor-sharp execution of sushi master Chef Mitsushiro Araki. The Araki boasts one of the most expensive tasting menus in the whole of London; in fact, The Araki only has one item on the menu – sushi omakase. Expect melt in the mouth fresh fish and incredibly delicate offerings from the Michelin starred chef.
Knightsbridge is the spot to splurge if you are looking for designer gems without the crowds that flock Oxford Street. Both Harrods and Harvey Nichols reside here boasting an endless array of gourmet goodies, high class knick-knacks, and fashionista fun. Sloan Street is the place to linger for those craving Gucci, Armani, and Christian Dior. While over on Bond Street you will find Tiffany’s, Cartier, and Sotheby’s Antiques.
London’s cocktail scene is certainly worth exploring, whether in the elaborate 1930’s Shanghai style of the China Tang Bar or sipping a flawless French 75 at the famed Dukes Bar on St James Place. During London Fashion week you cannot go wrong showcasing your best dress at The Riding House Café, the hip Hangout Sketch, or at the illustrious club Tape.

Lady Gaga has made millions as a pop superstar, so when she admitted on Monday’s episode of "The View" that she had been caught stealing from a hotel, fans were surprised, reports CBS News. Even more surprising was the item that she coveted enough to swipe: a photo of “View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg!
But unfortunately for Gaga, she was foiled when hotel security came to her door five minutes later to retrieve the stolen photo. “We’re going to need to have Whoopi back,” the guards said.

I’ve received a Party Wall Notice – what are my options?
If you are comfortable with the details provided by your neighbour then you have 14 days to confirm, in writing, that you are happy for them to commence their work. No further formalities of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 would be required.
If you aren’t happy with the plans proposed by your neighbour then you can appoint your own surveyor to follow the dispute resolution process outlined in the Party Wall etc Act 1996, negotiating with the Building Owner’s surveyor to ensure that your property and interests are protected in a Party Wall Award. In this situation, your neighbour is responsible for all reasonable fees of your surveyor.
3 – Dissent and appoint an agreed surveyor with your neighbour.
You may feel comfortable choosing one ‘agreed surveyor’ with your neighbour. This is where one surveyor is chosen to act impartially on behalf of both parties, although it’s advised that the surveyor is carefully selected for their experience.
Failing to respond to the Notice within 14 days will be automatically considered as a dissent and will begin the dispute resolution process. As an Adjoining Owner, how you decide to respond to the Notice dictates the procedure that the Building Owner must follow. We strongly recommend considering your options carefully and take the opportunity to discuss plans with your neighbour and get professional advice from a specialist surveyor.
For more information about the process, read our blog post about what happens when you are served a Party Wall Notice.
What is covered in a Party Wall Award?
Why is there a Third Surveyor on the Party Wall Award?
If you have chosen to appoint a separate surveyor from your neighbour, you may notice that a third surveyor has been named on the Party Wall Award. In many cases, this third surveyor will have been agreed upon by the acting surveyors without the knowledge of the Building Owner or Adjoining Owner, but there is no need for concern. They will only be called upon in the event that a dispute between the two acting surveyors cannot be resolved.
As distinguished Party Wall Surveyors, Squarepoint is frequently selected as a third surveyor to determine the outcome of any dispute between surveyors. Should one of the appointed surveyors fail or refuse to act in accordance with the Party Wall etc Act 1996, we will step in to take their place for either party.
What happens if damage occurs to my property?
If your home, garden or other property suffers damage as a direct result of the work being carried out on the party wall, the Building Owner is legally obliged to repair it.
Before any work commences it is absolutely essential that a Schedule of Condition is carried out to record the initial state of any areas that may be affected by the works. This will make it much easier to identify new damage, providing evidence for Adjoining Owners and also protecting Building Owners from false claims.
Assuming both parties agree on the cause of the damage, there are several ways in which they can proceed. All of which are at the discretion of the Adjoining Owner – no decision can be made without their consent.
Repair costs can be calculated in one of two ways; either the Party Wall Surveyor(s) will arrange for 3 contractor quotes to be provided before agreeing on the most appropriate, or the Surveyor(s) will use a cost guide, such as the Building Cost Information Service, to agree the cost of repair.
For more details about party wall matters or to appoint a Squarepoint surveyor to represent you, please contact us today. You can send an email via our contact page or talk to our friendly team directly on 0208 360 5488.

Veronica Dunbar has called Brewerytown home for two years now. Originally from Southwest Philadelphia, she grew up in her father’s barbershop, where he worked for nearly 40 years. Surrounded by hairstylists from a young age, she knew this would be a profession that would not only feel like home, but bring positivity to those she served. Dunbar currently works at Asanti Hair Studio located at 2827 W. Girard Ave., where her campaign “Fit for a Queen,” has garnered community attention. Her ongoing efforts consist of raising money in order to give back to the communities women in transition, through a day of pampering.
Have you always had a passion for hairstyling and beauty?
Yeah I actually did. I grew up in a salon, so I was always surrounded by women doing hair and it always looked fun to me. I’m a person who doesn’t really like to be restricted. I enjoy making my own schedule, and you can meet a whole bunch of people, and that’s what made me want to be able to do this. I’ve been working for Asanti for about four years. It feels like home when I’m here. I love getting up in the morning and going to work.
What have you learned from the people you have met as a hairstylist?
I’ve been fortunate enough to meet so many great people through my line of work. You find out a lot about people’s lives and what they’ve gone through. I’ve been able to meet people from all different walks of life, ranging from stay at home moms to company executives. This has allowed me to learn a lot about people but also myself. I’ve come to see that I may be going through things, but after talking to others and listening to their stories it’s shown me that sometimes what I’m going through isn’t that much. Meeting new people can put things into perspective.
How do you think beauty can inspire people to do better?
I want them to feel proud and confident when they walk out of these doors. I want them to be able to see themselves in a different light. When you don’t look the way you want you don’t really feel the part. For me, personally, when I do my hair and do my makeup, I feel ready to take on the world. I want these women to know that there are people out there who support them, notice them, and want them to succeed as they take on the world. And maybe when they see themselves after their visit, they may realize they want to do more and think bigger.
If you can use your platform to do something, whatever the case maybe, you should do it. I think we all need to feel that we have support and feel united. Personally, I know what it may feel like to not have all the support you need. My mother, who passed away, suffered from alcoholism and I witnessed her go into rehab as she was trying to transition her life for the better. I saw how it wasn’t easy to recover. Seeing my mother’s struggle first-hand has made me want to bring positivity to the community the best way I know how. Now I have a platform that can help others in order to give them hope.
A “woman in transition” is a female who is experiencing a lot things in her life. Some women may be transitioning from having substance abuse issues or even recovering from homelessness. There are many different types of women in transition who are essentially trying to get back on their two feet.
How exactly are you using your platform to help women in transition?
In November, I did an event similar to what I plan on doing now, and it really hit home for me. The event showed me that this line of work is way more than a regular press and curl. Some of the women at the event had never had the opportunity to have this type of treatment. Going into that event some of the women didn’t seem very approachable and I was preparing myself for a quiet encounter, but once they sat in the chair and I actually talked to them, they were able to really open up to me. They loved their hair and left with so much more confidence, and it made me really want to do something like that again.
The event I’m working on right now, “Fit For a Queen,” welcomes women in transition to get their hair, make-up and nails done for free. I want this event to be more than what you look like on the outside, but for the beauty to reflect within as well. I’m currently working on having some inspirational speakers, nutritionists and counselors lined up. Sometimes when you are in transition your focus isn’t primarily on eating how you should or the other things that could contribute to living a healthy lifestyle. I would like these women in transition to leave feeling beautiful, but also enhancing their self-worth. I hope this event will touch other people who could also use their platform in order to help those in need.
How has the community in Brewerytown responded to your events and campaign?
Everyone has been very supportive. A lot of the establishments have done fundraiser events to help me reach my goal. Otto’s Taproom, a bar around the corner, is currently having a fundraiser now that is a drink special. Every $2 is going to “Fit for a Queen.” Uncle Nick’s Pizza, which is directly next door, has donated to my gofundme. Nutrition 365, which is a fitness center has been very supportive as well, reposting things that I have shared on social media. The community has been like one little village helping me get the word out to the community.
What kind of impact do you hope this will have on the community?
Sometimes when people see your outer appearance they automatically judge you, and sometimes you yourself can look in the mirror and not feel good. I want these women to know that there are people out here who support them, notice them, and want them to succeed. I’m a person who sees something that may not be right, and instead of sitting or ignoring it I want to act on it. I’ve found out by doing so, others follow suit. I want people to be less selfish and more humble about those who surround them.
If you would like to support Veronica’s campaign “Fit for a Queen,” you can donate to her GoFundMe page here. The tentative event has been scheduled for May 6, 2018.

Every website owner wants to reach its full potential and gain insights to better understand their users. A usability testing company will help you figure out how to reach your digital marketing objectives and, therefore, come closer to realization of your business goals.
Usability work primarily aims to assist the audience of the site in achieving the targeted action. It is important to consider the specifics of business processes, a technology used, and company goals. A well-designed website not only attracts potentials but also increases income received from the current clients. Thus, the main task of the analysis and subsequent optimization of website usability is to research what problems website users face when they interact with its interface and available functionality. To increase a conversion rate, a website owner should ensure that people enjoy convenient navigation, easy access to all the necessary information for decision-making, and debugged functionality.
Usability testing allows you to reveal the problems related to website structure, functionality, interface, and content, which can lead to a decrease in conversion. In other words, testing a website aims to identify problems that prevent its visitors from becoming your customers. Confusing and illogical navigation, unpleasant reception, difficulties in reading texts, complexity in making an order are among the common usability mistakes. The core tasks of usability testing are increasing website’s conversion, reducing the cost of attracting customers, increasing the average cheque, growing a number of transactions per customer, and motivating visitors to make repeat purchases.
The result of such an audit is a list of recommendations for improving the interface of your site. There is a myth that you will need to develop a completely new website after the usability testing. As a matter of fact, in most cases, it is enough to work on weak spots that cause losing customers.
Convenience of searching on the site.
If you plan to design a new website and have prototypes or concepts, you will also benefit from website test services. At the early stage of production, it is easier to prevent mistakes and apply all the necessary tools. In addition, pricing is usually lower as compared with usability testing when your website is up and running.
If the vast majority of your target audience accesses your website using smartphones and tablets, you need to also consider test mobile. This service is similar to website testing for desktop, for example, test users approach also works as well, but some nuances apply.
The potential issues to deal with may include incorrect Flash usage, content not adjusted for a small screen, non-responsive design, small font size, and touch elements placed too close. The page load speed is even more important for mobile than it is for desktop. The aforementioned worsens user experience and prevents your potentials from performing targeted actions on a mobile platform.
One of the cases when usability testing is required is the following. Imagine that you attracted 1,000 visitors to your website as a result of a promo campaign. 100 of them selected something and added the products to the cart. This is a decent result, a 10% conversion rate, and you should feel upset if only 5 visitors actually completed a purchase.
Such a situation clearly indicates that the traffic driven to your site is targeted, so the users are ready to buy.
If you do not make any improvements, you may also face the niche “burning out”. This means that users with a negative experience with the site will avoid going back to it, let alone try to accomplish the targeted action. This often leads to a situation when a site owner will have to face the fact that the target audience has narrowed to 5% of its possible volume due to poor website usability.
The focus of work, choice of instruments used, and project duration differ but generally speaking, there are six main stages to complete.
Conducting research on your potential customers gives you an understanding of what is preventing them from performing the targeted action on your site.
Studying conversion paths from the entrance point to the fulfillment of the target action using thermal maps, WebVisor, analysis of how visitors move throughout a sales funnel, and so on.
Searching for barriers that reduce conversion by analyzing the behavior of visitors on the site and their wishes.
Analyzing the business and its specifics, accounting for positioning and features of the competitors. The findings allow you to emphasize your uniqueness in design, e.g. design more recognizable logo, use other types, and more.
Composing clear, detailed, and justified recommendations for designers, developers, and content managers on how to improve a structure, functionality, and design of the website.
Designing and prototyping improvements and changes that were revealed and approved during the audit.
Why do I need UI/UX services?
Your website can potentially help you increase income received from your current clients by motivating them to make repeat purchases and encourage new visitors spend more. Thoughtful UI/UX will help you reach these goals. Consider getting help from us in case you are planning to create a new website, redesign the existing one, or take measures to grow your conversion rate.
How long does a typical usability testing project last?
A typical project takes approximately 4-5 weeks to complete. However, complex websites with user-centered design usually require more time to conduct all the studies.
Contact our representative for more details.
Do you work with mobile applications?
Yes, we provide UI/UX design for mobile apps. Such a project requires inserting all the software functionality into a comparatively small mobile design, which often takes weeks of work. However, the results show that simple, intuitive solutions help you retain clients and lead them through your app. So, investment in UI/UX for mobile apps have high ROI.
Do you provide design and also implement all the necessary changes on my website?
We offer the best solutions that our team is capable of. Our expertise in design allows us to provide you with design, dynamic prototype, and recommendations on how to implement it on your website. Then, you can either ask your developers to apply all the changes or we can provide you with a list of trusted web developers able to help you.
Where can I find samples of your work?
The selected case studies are presented here.

As we prepare to honor the memory, teachings, accomplishments and courage of America’s greatest “Dreamer,” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it was disheartening to realize this week, more than fifty years after his demise, members of the U.S. House of Representatives did not have the courage to “sanction” the most prolific racist among them—Iowa Representative, Steve King.
House members, even with the Democratic Party now wielding the levers of power there, settled for tepid action instead, and voted on a “resolution of disapproval” in response to Steve King’s most recent comments regarding White supremacy.
In another disingenuous act this week, Republican House members voted not to allow King to sit on any committees. This, after having sat idly by for years as Steve King openly and boldly fomented racist ideology, pushed xenophobic policies and cozied up to some of the most bigoted organizations in the country.
It was almost laughable to hear House Minority leader, Republican Kevin McCarthy, say with a straight face, “Steve’s remarks are beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America.” Really?
McCarthy continued, “His comments call into question whether he will treat all Americans equally, without regard for race and ethnicity.” I was incredulous.
Steve King has a long public record that clearly reflects his attitude toward minorities. Consider, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” Or his comments justifying a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, “We do that with livestock all the time.” Or, his reference to the historical contributions of Blacks and other minorities, “I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about.” Or, his comments about immigrants, “You want a good bird dog? You want one that’s going to be aggressive? Pick the one that’s the friskiest . . . not the one that’s over there sleeping in the corner.” These are just a few examples of his appalling public comments.
With such an egregious and overtly racist history, it is hard to give much credence to the actions taken by the Republican Party against Steve King this week, especially when you consider their stunning silence and public support of the racially charged policies of Donald J. Trump.
“There must be a recognition on the part of everybody in this nation that America is still a racist country.” Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

Double Olympic champion Hicham El Guerrouj completed a 10km road race on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, South of France yesterday.
El Guerrouj who retired from athletics after winning the 1500m and 5000m gold medals at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 made a come back to the sport but as he was quoted “it was just for pleasure”.
Before the race, the 33-year-old Moroccan said that for once he wanted to be part of a mass race with no ambition to perform.
Although he did not expect to be among the leaders, El Guerrouj briefly stayed with the leading group before dropping back and finishing eight minutes off winner Mokhtar Benhari.
El Guerrouj is expected to return in April to run either a 15 or a 20km road race before his marathon debut either in New York or Berlin.
For the record, El Guerrouj clocked 36:00 to finish in 136th position.

Who speaks for the public if no journalist is listening?
This is but one of the questions posed by a group of journalists, educators, new media producers, artists and members of the community who have come together to explore the media landscape in the Pacific Northwest. This unconference organized by Journalism that Matters is entitled: Re-imagining News and Community in the Pacific Northwest and is taking place at the University of Washington January 7-10.
At the heart of the conference is the central question, What is possible when journalists and the public come together? At a time when the basic underpinnings of mainstream journalism seem to be coming undone, this conference offers an opportunity to break through the fear of change and begin to recognize what is emerging in our changing news environment. Words like trust, passion, collaboration and possibility all have been identified as important ingredients in the evolution of what's next. And the questions that are being posed by those attending the conference offer a window on this time of transformation and re-invention.
And so, each morning we were asked to submit a question to the mix, to share our passion and/or interests and take responsibility by spearheading a break-out session around it.
How can/should media help people cope with info overload and point to what news (in all of the din) is the most important for media consumers?
Although a fun and fruitful exchange, I'm not sure the seven or so of us that gathered around my question were able to answer it. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve."
No truer words spoken, especially since the task of posting my notes to the JTM wiki has yet to be achieved.
"Re-Imagining News and Community - an unconference" lived up to my experience of the JTM series over the years. Facilitated by the very fine Peggy Holman and Stephen Silha, the gatherings are energetic and hands-on endeavors. Organizers use something called Open Space Technology to challenge participants to get out of comfort zones and engage with an issue independently and with others.
I don't know how effective these kinds of mash-ups are statistically, but everyone always has a ball at these things as far as I can tell. Holman, author of the highly-recommended The Change Handbook: The Definitive Resource on Today's Best Methods for Engaging Whole Systems and the article "Journalism That Matters: Emerging Cultural Narrative" [pdf] for the Spring/Summer 2009 issue of Kosmos Journal, forwards that OST has quantifiable value. I ♥ the technique and plan to incorporate it and others from the Change Handbook in future programs.
After the conference (and I do mean immediately after, me literally running to make this date because the JTM conference ran late) I had an informal lunch with a few local veterans and advocates.
What good fortune to participate in a vibrant discussion on the needs of area milfamilies. This photo shows my post-conference Seattle Vets Issue Lunch Clutch, which took place Sunday at Zao Noodle Bar, University Village Shopping Center near the UW campus. Thank you to Theresa, Sue and Gordy for coming out to see me (extra kudos Mr G for logistical support)! I walked away impressed by the area's different VA programs and the energy of its vets advocates, counselors.
Here at Journalism that Matters, Chris Jordan gave a presentation about the photographs he took during his trip to Midway Island. He presented a video that he made, which was first debuted at PopTech this year in Camden, ME. This video consisted of images he shot of young albatross, that had died from plastic consumption. The 6 minute video was accompanied by the musical soundtrack of Christen Lien and challenged his viewers to feel the immense feeling of such images. The one driving point of his whole talk was that the next evolution of journalism or art creation, is finding the passion in your work and allowing it show through your art.
- How do we envision the role of the artist in the future of journalism?
- What is the potential for news as a performance?
- What should journalism be in the 21st century?
- How do we create sustainable freelance communities in an increasingly decentralized newsroom?
Yesterday I did a small graphic recording of the session on “Disturbance, Disruption and the Artist” – I like this because I listen more than talk, and those of you who know me, I like to talk. There again was this strong sense of “wanting to stay connected” and I kept feeling like I needed to add a disturbance.
The disturbance I suggest is that we find the continuum of inward connecting to like minded people and share initiatives all the way to the outward facing, networked action which throws each of us connecting outward, not inward. Balancing the closeness and connection of community with the wider possibility of “infecting” others with journalism that matters by forging outward.
The second thing that struck me in that session was the idea of a game to connect communities and news. The meme of play with it’s joy, challenge, cooperation and competition keeps coming up in every domain I touch upon. So now, today, I’m wondering what such a game would look like. What do you think? What sort of game would weave journalists and community members into a functional news ecosystem?
Eeeek. It was so hard to pick a session. The sessions were created by attendees who had a desire to host sessions, so totally on-topic…..and so desirable! Sustainable Seattle attended the session focusing on respect in communications. We attended with Ashoka/Youth Venture (an organization that creates continuous chain of empathy for youth 12-20, empathy in action, and a change maker campus program, and changemakers.com where there is a local and global) and WA Farm worker Housing Trust (a nonprofit that does policy and advocacy to ensure farm workers have a safe place by working with all the stakeholders to find common ground, a strategy that is working with state legislature!).
Our session host, Kristin Millis, posed the notion if journalists listen and respect the public, readers, and those we write stories about, news and media entities would be more trusted and would stay in business.
All stories are newsworthy: What ever anyone has to say, has value to them, so that individual should be treated with respect. If you can’t provide them coverage, offer them resources.
There is always a story: There is always truth in a story: Stop, listen, ask, find out more, take the time to find out more. Take the time to listen.
With a journalist at the table with three nonprofit representatives, we adapted these lessons to our efforts: Nonprofits tell stories too- we need to ensure the stories we tell are accurate to our community, and we can do this by listening, and by telling the stories that fulfill our goals and provide information for better decisions (by nourishing people and encouraging action) and that provide a context – the good, the norm and the bad – not just the bad. Nonprofits also are conduits for changing behavior. Collaborating with others in getting the message out is a great way to get the message out, and is cost effective- in many ways! Collaborating in communicating also allow the nonprofit and all to get a better idea of the story.

FRED Film Radio is joining the Iranian Film Festival Australia in Sydney, Australia from the 9th of October to the 2nd of November 2015.
Iranian Film Festival Australia is the only nation-wide Australian festival dedicated to Iranian cinema. Contemporary Iranian cinema is one of the world’s most exhilarating national cinemas. Their aims are to showcase a diverse range of the best and most interesting of current Iranian cinema, and through cinema to introduce Iranian culture to other Australians, providing a better cultural understanding.
IFFA is an independent non-political, non-aligned and non-religious private organisation run by Anne Démy-Geroe and Armin Miladi. We are NOT supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are most definitely committed to an audience comprising both Iranian and non-Iranian members where people can mingle and talk among themselves, leading to a better cultural understanding.
IFFA commenced in 2011, opening with A Separation, straight from its Berlin Golden Bear win and before its Oscar win. It expanded from three to five Australian capital cities in 2012. October 2015 sees the fifth national tour of the festival.
Many Iranians consider IFFA the key cultural event in Australia.

The news worldwide is often full of pretty alarming stories about the impact of global warming. Ice melting, sea levels rising, coastal communities being hit by severe flooding following hurricanes, droughts wiping out crops… As certain Boskalis projects have a direct link to mitigating the impact of climate change we asked two experts why these extreme events are occurring and what they think should be done to protect ourselves against them.
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Director General, Professor Gerard van der Steenhoven, and Stefan Aarninkhof, Professor of Hydraulic Engineering and Coastal Engineering at Delft University of Technology, talk candidly about the realities. Surprisingly, despite the fairly worrisome climate developments, they are still positive that humankind has the innovative spirit needed to come up with solutions.
Melting ice caps are an important indicator of global warming. Can you explain what causes this and the impact it has on the weather?
Given that the ice is melting and the sea is warming, the sea level rise will be close to 100 centimeters by the end of the 21st century.
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) is the Dutch national weather service. Primary tasks of KNMI are weather forecasting, and monitoring of weather, climate, air quality and seismic activity. KNMI is also the national research and information center for meteorology, climate, air quality, and seismology. KNMI focuses on monitoring and warning for risks with an atmospheric or seismic origin. In addition, KNMI offers advice and strategy prospects for both acute and future dangers. In order to improve future advice and therefore reach risk reduction, it actively seeks to learn from past events.
Professor Gerard van der Steenhoven is Director General of KNMI and responsible for the organization’s overall management and strategy. In addition he is the Chief Science Officer of KNMI. Before his appointment at KNMI, Van der Steenhoven was Dean of the faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Twente. Before that, he worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston and the National Institute for Subatomic Physics, Nikhef, in Amsterdam. Between 2000 and 2008 he held an Extraordinary Professorship in Experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Groningen. He was also Chairman of the Netherlands’ Physical Society, Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research, Differ, and Vice-chairman of the Top Consortium for Knowledge and Innovation for Process Technology in the Netherlands.
Professor Stefan Aarninkhof holds the Chair of Coastal Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology. He is a member of the Steering Group Sand Engine and chairman of the working group Coast of the Dutch Expertise Network Water Safety. Throughout his 20-year career in the water sector, Aarninkhof was closely involved in the execution, programming and management of applied coastal research, always at the interface of science, engineering and design. He did so as researcher/adviser at Delft Hydraulics (nowadays Deltares), as a program manager of EcoShape Building with Nature and as deputy general manager of Hydronamic, the in-house engineering company of Boskalis. Stefan graduated as a civil engineer from Delft University of Technology in 1996 and subsequently received a PhD from the same university in 2002.
What is the impact of the melting ice caps on the rising sea levels?
Is the world likely to face more extreme weather events?
It is not the increase in the number of hurricanes only, but also the increase in intensity.
These are pretty worrying scenarios, what can be done to prevent, or at least, mitigate the situation?
So is the answer to these extreme weather events to build more and more protective infrastructure, higher and higher dikes?
The time is there to start thinking in terms of climate resilient scenarios and the associated adaptation measures needed.
Can this approach be applied across the world?
What difference has COP21 and recently COP23 made in tackling global warming? Is there a need for a ‘Global Masterplan’?
I believe the COP21 Paris Agreement is truly historic.
Are there reasons for optimism?
In an ideal world what are three things you would do right now to help solve this massive challenge?
As the world feels the impact of global warming with more extreme weather patterns and rising sea levels, Boskalis is continuing the work of its forefathers in protecting vulnerable delta areas around the world.

Build Thread Was going to build, but took a MAJOR shortcut instead! [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!

View Full Version : Build Thread Was going to build, but took a MAJOR shortcut instead!
So, that was a great, inexpensive way to dive into cnc control, and I learned a lot from it. Before that i had never looked at Gcode and had no idea how to get from a dxf to runnable Gcode.
So, lately I decided it was time to start on the big table again, and started looking for materials. I wanted to have at least a 4' x 8' cutting area this time around. So, I was searching on Ebay for cnc parts and came across a 1993 Advance Cutting Systems 60" x 120" cnc plasma cutter listed by a shop that went to laser and no longer needed it. It was in good condition, but had a really outdated Koike Hybrid analog servo control (same as a linatrol picopath). Well, I was able to buy it for practically nothing, oh - and did I mention it came with Hypertherm Max100D dual gas plasma cutter and machine torch? Since my spare time is non-existant I figured this would be a good way to go. After taking delivery I had it all hooked up and cutting shapes in about 2 hours. I quickly decided that the old control system HAD to go!
So, I stripped off the control, driver box, and servo motors. I re-used the high quality shielded motor wires and mounted some big 1125 ozin steppers I already had. This machine is rack and pinion drive and had 3 to 1 timing belt reductions on both axes. All I had to do was make 2 simple motor plates that fit the stepper bolt patterns, and bore the motor pulleys out from 1/2" to 5/8".
I'm currently using the microkinetics 80v 10 amp microstepping drivers and power supply with an ebay breakout board and have great performance. The gantry is rather heavy, but I'm still getting good accelerations (77 milligees on X, and twice that on Y) with reliable rapids at 1600 ipm. I am really thinking hard about cutting a bunch of lightening holes in the gantry beam to help out, but haven't done so yet.
PS - what's the secret to embedding youtube vids?
Ok, I have to talk about the Hypertherm plasma cutter now. Throughout the years I've used about all brands of plasma cutters - starting with a 1980's Thermal Dynamics, later a stakpak, a Pakmaster 50XL, a couple of Lincolns, and a couple of Millers. I was impressed 3 times - obviously the first time I ever used one, much much later when I was on monster garage and used an Esab, and finally by this 20 year old obsolete Hypertherm. As of a few years ago the Esab was the best I'd come across, to the point that I went and bought a Powercut 1500 not long after with ideas of a cnc table in the back of my mind. I have never been impressed with either a Miller or Lincoln offering! The TD stuff was pretty good, but were all low power units.
So, obviously I had no idea about what was ideal for CNC when I bought the Esab. It has no cnc interface or capability and HF start. And, while it's got plenty of power it's also got a seriously tapered cut and very expensive consumables.
This plasma table came with a really old (1993?) Hypertherm Max100D cutter. This has been an impressive unit. I have asked Jim from Hypertherm a lot of questions about it, and he keeps talking about how outdated the machine is. However, I'm getting the best cut quality I've ever had from a plasma out of this thing. It's way better than the much newer Esab. And, the best part is Hypertherm's manual is DEAD ON with it's setting chart. I hate to think what a new Hypertherm would be like if this is so far out of date! As you can see I'm definitely a convert - never buy another brand again!
What Monster Garage episode were you on?
Glad you like that old Max100D. The 100D was very similar to our popular Max100.....the "D" stands for dual gas, meaning you can have a different plasma and shield gas. Often, for cutting stainless and aluminum users would use nitrogen for plasma gas and CO2 for the shield gas to get an oxide free cut. If you are cutting steel, you simply use air as both the plasma and shield gas for best results with this type of torch.
It is true that the 100D is old technology by Hypertherms standards, in fact our new Powermax85 cuts way thicker, way faster, and with about 4 to 6 times the consumable life as compared to the 100. We have developed a lot of technology in both the torches and the power supplies that improve cut quality, reliability, size, and exspecially consumable life.
I like to see those older systems still cutting steel. Reminds me of a day with no gray hair! I was managing the assembly department at Hypertherm back then. Most likely I tightened a few screws on that system!
I got an email from Candcnc yesterday saying my MP3000 builder's kit should be shipping today! I am really anxious to get it on the machine - should fix most of the nagging issues with the table.
There is one other issue with the table that's a little disappointing - although not surprising. The single side drive on the gantry allows a little racking, specially when the carriage is towards the opposite side of the table. There's no play in anything, and it takes a lot of force to make it deflect, but acceleration forces will bring out a wiggle in the cut. I'm debating strategies for connecting that other side now.

Biomoda is on track to complete its CyPath Phase II pilot study for the early detection of lung cancer this quarter. The primary endpoint is to discover 6 to 10 asymptomatic patients in the first cohort which was met with just over 130 patients. They are collecting additional positive control data for another 44 patients which is expected to be completed in June.
Successful results of the Phase II pilot trial in Q2 should pave the way for the initiation of a Pivotal Phase III by year-end. In addition, the Phase II results may be sufficient to receive a CE Mark in Europe by year-end with a European launch early next year.
Advanced Explorations (TSX-V: AXI) will raise up to $3.74 million in a private placement of up to 17 million units at a price of $0.22 per unit. Each unit will consist of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.40 and a one year term.
In a recent interview of Mickey Fulp by the The Gold Report, Mickey discussed Goldgroup Mining, a portfolio company of ours which is completing a reverse takeover with Sierra Minerals (TSX: SIM). Mickey had good things to say about each company individually and moreso collectively.
Mickey Fulp: A company that I am a founding shareholder of is Sierra Minerals Inc. (TSX:SIM), which recently announced a reverse takeover (RTO) with privately held Gold Group Mining. Sierra is now a company that can build a mid-tier Mexican mining company. The current producing mine is Cerro Colorado. It just announced record quarterly production of about 6,400 ounces, projecting around 25,000-plus ounces of production this year. The company is now debt free and will be merging fairly soon with Gold Group Mining. They have the Cerro Colorado mine in production and have a high-grade underground resource at San Jose De Gracia in Sinaloa. They also have a 43-101 qualified resource at the El Porvenir high sulfidation play in Central Mexico. However, the real flagship property is going to be Caballo Blanco, another high-sulfidation gold system in Veracruz province that is a joint venture with Almaden Minerals Co. (NYSE:AAU;TSX:AMM). There is a resource and untested targets on that. I’m bullish on the Sierra Minerals and Gold Group Mining combination.
The Gold Report: Would you give us more information on Gold Group Mining?
MF: Gold Group Mining has some of the same management team that has been running Sierra Minerals. Gold Group has raised a significant amount of money in its private history and advanced two projects: San Jose De Gracia and El Porvenir. They did a deal with Lundin Mining Corp. (TSX:LUN) in the late fall for Caballo Blanco, which has significant upside potential for adding ounces. For a period of time, Gold Group Mining has been trying to put together the proper vehicle with which to go public and Sierra Minerals fits right into that. You’re basically rolling two companies that have some common interests and management, as well as shareholders, into a single entity. The new company will be called Gold Group Mining.
TGR: The currently public Sierra Minerals is acquiring Gold Group Mining and is switching to the Gold Group Mining name?
MF: It’s a reverse takeover. Gold Group Mining is basically acquiring Sierra Minerals as its public vehicle. Sierra is a small Mexican mining company, and now with this merger we can foresee the creation of a mid-tier mining company.
TGR: So has this reverse merger been priced into the stock?
MF: Yes, it has. There will be a rollback of Sierra Minerals on a per-share basis. With the pre-IPO financing of Gold Group Mining, the company will come out of the chute fairly valued for both groups of shareholders. With respect to the upside in the immediate term, I don’t really know what speculators may or may not do. But certainly you can play the new entity as a small producer growing into a mid-tier Mexican mining company.
Federal prosecutors are conducting a criminal investigation into whether Goldman Sachs Group Inc. or its employees committed securities fraud in connection with its mortgage trading, people familiar with the probe say.
The investigation from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office, which is at a preliminary stage, stemmed from a referral from the Securities and Exchange Commission, these people say. The SEC recently filed civil securities-fraud charges against the big Wall Street firm and a trader in its mortgage group. Goldman and the trader say they have done nothing wrong and are fighting the civil charges.
Prosecutors haven’t determined whether they will bring charges in the case, say the people familiar with the matter. Many criminal investigations are launched that never result in any charges.
The criminal probe raises the stakes for Goldman, Wall Street’s most powerful firm. The investigation is centered on different evidence than the SEC’s civil case, the people say. It couldn’t be determined which Goldman deals are being scrutinized in the criminal investigation.
April 30 (Bloomberg) — Moore Capital Management LP, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG’s securities division agreed to pay more than $39 million to settle separate allegations regarding trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Moore Capital, the $15 billion hedge fund run by Louis Bacon, will pay $25 million to settle the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s allegation that a former portfolio manager attempted to manipulate platinum and palladium futures during a surge in prices two years ago, the regulator said yesterday.
Morgan Stanley will pay $14 million and UBS $200,000 for a separate allegation that they concealed a block trade of crude oil from Nymex, the CFTC said in a separate statement yesterday.
As a follow up to recently released news from Advanced Explorations Inc. (TSX-V: AXI), eResearch believes the Company is poised to benefit from long-term growth in the steel industry, and as a result, eResearch maintains its 12-month price target of $0.60 per share.
Advanced Explorations has made significant progress on its key objectives, particularly the completion of the baseline environmental study which is critical to completing the feasibility plan. We look for continued execution of the Company’s business plan going forward resulting in a further increase in shareholder value.
In a joint news release, Sierra Minerals Inc. (TSX: SIM) and Goldgroup Resources Inc., a privately-held British Columbia company, announced that all resolutions with respect to their previously announced business combination were overwhelmingly supported by votes cast by shareholders of both companies.
Under the Arrangement, Goldgroup shareholders will receive one post-consolidation common share of Sierra (being common shares of Sierra consolidated on a 2.85:1 basis) for each common share of Goldgroup held, as more particularly described in the joint management information circular of Sierra and Goldgroup dated March 25, 2010. The Arrangement remains subject to the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court. A hearing on the Arrangement will be held on April 28, 2010 for the Final Order approving the Arrangement. Closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur on or about April 30, 2010.

Description Java JRE applications are not working when using Squid with NTLM auth.
It won't work using the custom.tmpl because it put itself under the authentication rules.
this doesn't happen with all applets.. why??
seams that some javaapplets try to access the inet while starting without authentication.
causes the java applet to be denied permenently by squid.
is this a specific java-version which doesn't want to work?
is this the same in your situation?
do you have any public sites you can provide as an example?
It's possible to have an url to one of that "guilty" applet for debugging purpose?
Can someone confirm that the workaround works?
Yes it's true but it's such an annoying problem.. maybe a sysadmin just want to solve it forever.

Between Windows, Macintosh and Linux based operating system. There are constant updates and complete revamps for each individual OS. Users constantly ask the same question “Why should I upgrade? I already know how to operating this OS I don’t want to change or upgrade.” Being that when a new operating systems come out it might not be “required” but is highly recommended. Detailed below we will be discussing the perks from upgrading along with the long term side effects of refusing to upgrade/update.
Plain and simple, if you are running an operating system prior to Windows 7 (I.E. XP, Vista, 95) you need to be moved off immediately. If you plan on taking advantage of the basic and daily functions of a computer. Anything prior to Windows 7 is unsupported at this point. There are some situations where this is untrue. Some users specifically use a computer for a single purpose and nothing else. Like a simple program that runs test on motor vehicles, or operates machinery. Where this technology was developed 10s of years ago and unsupported by anything else. If that is not the case though, an immediate upgrade is highly recommended.
*IMPORTANT* Even though Windows 7 is currently supported and still having updates being released, with the release of Windows 10 that could potentially change quickly within the coming months/years.
With the new release of windows 10, many users are already making the switch over to the newest generation operating system. The reason is simple, Windows 10 at this time is a complete free upgrade from your previous OS (Windows 7, 8, & 8.1 are the only valid OS’ for upgrade). An immediate upgrade is recommended for all users before the deadline of July 29th, 2016. HPCS is recommending Windows 10 for all users for quite a few reasons. If a user is found to be using Windows 7, an immediate upgrade is recommended while it is free since 7 will be the next operating system to be unsupported by windows updates and other new age programs. Windows 8 & 8.1 still have a solid shelf life to them but considering how terrible the OS was, the added features and original ones brought back from 7. A user should want to upgrade.
The only times a upgrade would not be recommended is when a program a user requires for their daily activities is unsupported on Windows 10. The most that HPCS is discovered is the programming and connection issues with Quickbooks 2014 and previous version not working smoothly. All other programs that are standard in today’s technological society work just fine.
One of the core reasons for a new OS besides helpful additions for users are security upgrades. With how reliant on technology our society has come to and what a user actually keeps on their computers is highly sought after by hackers. Eventually a hacker will find kinks in an operating systems core registry to avoid detection and steal any personal and financial data they might be after. This is also another reason why there are constant windows updates to provide “security checks” to prevent these kind of disasters from happening. The best practice to preventing this is constantly keeping updated with updates, operating systems and good browsing habits.
Along with the software that operates on a CPU, there is also the hardware involved that must be supported by the installed operating system. When new technology is released, the drivers or the BIOS programming that recognizes the hardware is subjective to the OS installed on the hard drive. This issue arises mostly with common hardware like printers/scanners and fax machines. The drivers supporting the FULL functionality of that device might not be supported if a user is on an outdated operating system.
With the reasons stated above, if a user plans to keep up to date and protected. When a new operating system is released it is well advised to switch before it is too late. HPCS and its staff of highly trained technicians are available to guide a user through this process while offering the price of the software at a discounted price. Where as a retail location will offer the CDs and key attached to the windows OS a user is trying to upgrade. HPCS receives its keys from an OEM vendor and while the store bought price usually exceeds $200, HPCS can offer keys and OS upgrades as cheap as $95 depending on the required OS a user is seeking.
All HPCS OEM keys are guaranteed to be genuine or they will be replaced for free (some terms and conditions apply, call up HPCS today for a full list of terms.) Stop waiting around for your computer to go obsolete, call up HPCS today and get you geared in the right direction.

Latest Print: my painting of the Buildings and Colleges of Oxford, ‘The Oxonian Castle’, now available as a poster print from Blackwells in Oxford.
Welcome. My work falls, broadly, into three main categories: there are the ‘Surreal’ paintings, there are the ‘Orientalist’ paintings which are the result of my trips to the Middle East, and then there are the ‘Sky’ paintings (very much to do with living in Bath and keeping a diary of skies there) Of course, living in Bath there are also many paintings of Bath..
Please feel free to browse and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
‘52 Views of Bath’. To view the paintings from the exhibition, click here.

The girl begins to tell her story to her secondary colleagues. It’s personal and she struggles to find the words. The struggle isn’t because she’s not sure what to say, it’s because she doesn’t know if she can say what she wants. She looks down, glances across the classroom and makes a small motion to a friend. It’s a small gesture with her fingers and I’m not sure what it means. But her friend understands completely and goes into action. As the fidget spinner makes it way quietly across the classroom to her, she grabs it with care, gives it a sharp spin, and the world is whole. The tiny event makes me once again see that classrooms are not simply instructional spaces, they are communities of care. Places of safety, places of connection, places where it’s ok to be who you are and places where your friends care for you.
It’s another classroom and another day. The kindergarten kids are learning to read and write. After the teacher reads the story they sit together in small groups to write their story. One boy looks up at the other students and says “how do you spell dolphin?” Currently, he has “dlfn” on his page and he’s just not sure it’s right. His classmate beside him says “it’s right here.” He gets up, crosses to some chart paper where the word dolphin is written and points it out to his friend. It’s no coincidence that the teacher has it at hand for all to see but this small, smiling interaction between friends is just another example of kids caring for each other.
Classrooms big, classrooms small, schools big, schools small. Classrooms are a mirror of our community. In all their diversity, in all their multicultural richness, this is largely where our children learn about how to care and support our friends and our neighbours. These classroom communities just don’t emerge out of thin air. The core curriculum that teachers help unfold every day is the creation of safe, caring and inclusive places. In my visits to schools, I watch this nurturing of environments done with such grace and ease but I am acutely aware that this is the very intentional and purposeful construction of teachers on a daily and hourly basis.
I am also aware that one of the lovely things about being in education is that we know our work will never be done. Our moral bar is high and the pursuit is endless. While the visits to schools show me the wonder that is going on across the district, the issues that emerge every week on my desk are also a reminder of the ongoing dream of safety and inclusion for all. On one of my last visits in the week, I walk through the doors to the Pride Prom as a means to show my support. I ask the teachers outside, “where’s the Press?” Last year hosting this event was a national news because it seemed to push the boundaries. This year…it’s just a bunch of kids having fun. Now that it’s just part of what we do, I guess it’s not news anymore and this is a good thing.
One step at a time toward our never ending journey of creating safe, caring and inclusive environments for all. The kind of environments that teachers carefully construct and support in the many small communities called classrooms right in your neighbourhood school each and every day.

I feel like this is the start of a whole new life after just spending 1 week at Spirit Vine, something completely unimaginable. I thought that 3 ceremonies would be too less but it has surpassed my expectations by an inconceivable margin.
I feel like a child that is learning the ropes of living all over again, the only difference being that now I feel completely equipped and resourceful. I have my adult part which feels unblocked from my past limitations, and I feel this part is ready to be a mature and understanding parent to my inner child that is bubbling with excitement to explore this world.
I had lost this feeling of curiosity and aliveness for over 20 years and now this veil of depression has been lifted completely because of the week I spent with some of the most amazing people from all over the world, as well as the most wonderful facilitators Silvia and Rohan. The workshops that Silvia conducted have taught me techniques that I will be practicing for the rest of my life – to keep transforming my negative patterns and to release parts which don’t belong to me and recover the lost parts of my soul.

In recent years, cases involving Central American migrants, including unaccompanied children (UACs) and families, have inundated the U.S. immigration system. Many of these migrants have expressed a fear of persecution and have applied for asylum, initiating a resource and time-intensive adjudication process with high stakes. Since many of these claims rely on non-legal expertise – often relating to country conditions and/or mental health assessments – the influx of cases presents new opportunities for collaboration between social scientists and legal scholars. In order to foster the collaboration that could inform the equitable adjudication of these cases, a cross-disciplinary team at American University convened an international group of researchers and practitioners with expertise across three areas: 1) country conditions in Central America; 2) psychological assessment of asylum seekers; and 3) asylum adjudication and evolving jurisprudence on asylum law in the U.S. The workshop had multiple goals, including the development of cross-disciplinary professional networks, the articulation of plans for future research, and the identification of other collaborative efforts seeking to address challenges in asylum adjudication.

NSW Energy Savings Scheme – now new and improved!
Last week, the NSW government introduced legislation to expand its Energy Savings Scheme. We’ve been expecting these changes for some time, but it’s now official!
The energy savings target will increase from 5 per cent to 7 per cent in 2016 and then to 8.5 per cent by 2019, amounting to a 70% overall increase in the target.
Incentives will be introduced to help businesses and households to save gas.
The scheme will be extended to 2025.
According to the Government, these changes are estimated to save households and businesses up to $8.2 billion on energy bills over the lifetime of the scheme.
The Australian energy efficiency industry currently employs around 3,000 people, including our team at Ecovantage, so this is great news for job security and continued growth of this sector.
As an active participant in the NSW scheme, Ecovantage looks forward to continuing to roll out projects that save energy in the years to come.

In the wide world of sports, golf is a curious game. It has no referees, no umpires, and no officials. No, instead golfers must answer to a different authority...the course marshal.
And much like golf, The Marshal himself is an anomaly. He’s not an enforcer. He’s a facilitator. A man whose sole responsibility is to preserve the enjoyment of golf. So, who better to serve as the ambassador of an app that does just that?

You're thinking about having a baby! Have you made an appointment with your doctor for a preconception check-up? A pre-pregnancy visit to the doctor's office is a smart move for anyone trying to have a baby, particularly for first-time moms or those with underlying health concerns. But what do you need to know?
How could my medical conditions (be sure to share any pre-existing conditions you may have) have an effect on my ability to get pregnant or my pregnancy?
How long do I need to be off of birth control before trying to become pregnant?
How long does it take most couples to conceive?
What should I do to get ready for pregnancy? Are there any lifestyle changes I should make?
Are there any vaccinations or immunizations that I need before getting pregnant?
Is it okay to continue taking my medication, either over-the-counter or prescription, while trying to conceive or when I become pregnant?
What vitamins or supplements should I take while trying to get pregnant? When should I start taking them?
Could my family health history affect my ability to conceive, my pregnancy or my future baby?
Even if having a baby is a distant thought, you can still talk to your doctor about pregnancy at anytime. Trying to get pregnant can be stressful for some, but a visit with your doctor can help ease your concerns so you can enjoy your pregnancy journey from start to baby.

Have you made the same New Year’s Resolutions a few years in a row? If so, you’re not alone. The haphazard nature of New Year’s Resolutions is more conducive to stress than success.
New Year’s Resolutions fail for many reasons, but the reasons share a common trait. If change is truly desired, no delays should be made. By waiting for the clock to strike midnight on December 31st before taking the first step in your journey of self-improvement, your commitment is already on shaky ground. Half-hearted pledges, coupled with lofty goals are a recipe for disaster, leading one down a stressful path likely to end in despair. A lackadaisical approach like making a resolution to stop drinking while toasting the New Year with a glass of champagne is one such example.
Health related goals are common; many sources cite weight loss and smoking cessation as the most common resolutions. Instead of deciding to stop smoking or losing 50 pounds ASAP, consult your doctor to determine what measures will work best with your overall health.
Think of your progress tracking/journal as a buddy. This is particularly helpful for goals which require modification of daily activity—like eating. When you know you will face your decisions by writing them down, it helps to see your second serving (or serving size) from a new perspective. Your progress, when tracked, gives you a tangible record—one which can be reviewed as a reminder of how far you’ve come.
Making changes to your daily life is already “going against the grain”. If your method of documenting is also difficult, that decreases your chances of success.
This is why no matter what your goal is, tracking progress should be done in a manner that works with your normal record-keeping methods. If you use mobile device apps, computers, or even hand-written journals, the method you keep should be consistent with your comfort level. When your chosen tracking method is a good match for your record-keeping methods, you increase the chances of realizing your goal.
By setting the goals too high, you will not only find them difficult to reach, your despair will be greater. A better way to reach the goal is to think of the steps necessary to achieve the goal. Big goals cannot be achieved overnight; if they could be done so quickly and easily, they wouldn’t be “big”.
Many large goals involve a lifestyle change that cannot or should not be done overnight. For weight loss, many doctors are in favor of gradual calorie reduction and a slow and steady increase of exercise for permanent weight loss. By making drastic changes, a person could hurt him/herself in the gym by undertaking a strenuous workout on an untrained body, or collapse from low blood sugar.
Think about why you haven’t made the change before this point. For example, if you plan to wake up earlier in the morning to exercise, think about why you have been sleeping in. You will need to go to sleep earlier in order to wake up earlier. (For tips on getting more sleep, click here.) Likewise, if you overeat, you may have some anxieties or unresolved issues for which you have used food as a distraction for psychological pain. Counseling can be beneficial for such issues.
Experiencing setbacks can increase anxiety, causing the individual to end the commitment. If you’ve documented your progress, think of your setback as a bad chapter rather than the end of your story. Remember, it’s self-improvement, not self-perfection. Continue your progress, accept that setbacks may occur—but don’t let it derail you, and enjoy your progress.
Decades ago when I decided to give up smoking, for example, I used Excuses Begone! beliefs. It was encouraging for me to realize how much more difficult it was to smoke than not to smoke. The smoker part of me always had to have a pack of cigarettes and an ashtray within easy reach, carry matches or lighters, dispose of ashes, deal with smelly fingers and stained teeth, earn money to pay for this disgusting habit, be careful exhaling noxious fumes, cough up nicotine residue from my lungs, buy lighter fluid and flints, and on and on. The truth was that continuing to smoke was the real difficulty, and changing my habit involved one simple thing: not smoking. This is true for virtually all of your habits. The belief that they’re going to be hard to change is only a belief! Making something difficult in your mind before you even undertake the effort is an excuse.
Spur-of-the-moment decisions are less sincere, and without the proper level of commitment, substantial and lasting change will not be made. Many people become consumed with the Christmas celebration and consequently don’t think about New Year’s Eve celebrations until December 26th—or later. If you haven’t taken the time to make a sound decision, don’t pressure yourself at the last minute. Schedule a time to contemplate and plan for a positive life change.
Self-improvement works best with assistance and accountability. Discover your “blind spots” and get help for anxieties and other issues that have caused you to subconsciously sabotage your goals by contacting CrossRoads at 317-842-8881 for more help with self-improvement.

In this work, an explicit integration scheme for hyperelastic-based finite strains elasto-plasticity is presented. One step update equations are obtained from the large deformation multiplicative elasto-plasticity theory, where an exponential variation of the plastic deformation gradient is assumed. In addition, the material tangent matrix is presented and has the same formal structure as the usual small strains elasto-plastic tangent matrix. In purely elastic regime, the proposal reduces to the usual large deformation elasticity equations. Routines to alleviate the main drawbacks of explicit methods are outlined, such as a yield surface drift correction scheme and an adaptive substepping method. Several examples of typical geotechnical tests using the Houlsby hyperelastic model along with the Modified Cam Clay plastic model are discussed. Results from a convergence test suggest that, using an adaptive substepping scheme, the error of the local problem is independent of the step size.

Writer Vince Gilligan talks about his first few days on The X-Files.
I love Vince! And it's good to know he understands our nerdiness.
Agree P. Vince is one of my favs as well. Great interview Dame Alison.
Leaving food in the pantry under the assumption that the gig wouldn't last long is something I would do. Thank goodness it worked out! He has always been one of my favorite writers.

First of all a Squonk mod is a vape mod with a built-in squeeze bottle.
The bottle is used to feed e-liquid to an atomizer.
Furthermore the atomizer that is usually used is an RDA.
The liquid goes up through the 510-connection in order to get to the atomizer. In essence, a squonk mod eliminates the need for dripping.
As a result, is “transformed” into a tank section for your atomizer.
Finally, because is a kit, the sqounk comes with the RDA as well.

"Stand your ground in a Trial – Keep Faith"
Welcome to "Stand your ground in a Trial – Keep Faith"
In a trial the strength of your faith and your patience will eventually give you the "‘victory”.
Satan - he will test your faith as soon as you act upon the promises in the word of God. He will try to get you to waver between faith and unbelief.
He will try to make you feel unworthy of, or too guilty for receiving anything of God. He will try to force you to look at the circumstances around you, and situations around you, instead of looking to Jesus for your answers.
However, God turns al of Satan’s strategies to your Good.
First, the trying of your faith will bring forth patience, which keeps you from being moved by your natural senses. ‘Patience’, means being steadfast, unmovable, consistently the same, unwavering, unyielding to outside pressures.
The Lord is Our Source; He is waiting for you to ask Him to come into your life.
Jesus still prays and intercedes for all His children because He wants their faith established in God’s word where it will not waver when pressures build.
Don’t put your conditions on their answers; they determined not to bow down to the Devil no matter what happens. Let your faith speak. God honored their faith.
When life is easy/convenient, most people readily acknowledge that God answers prayer.
But when things get difficult, then they learnt whether their faith is strong enough to take the heat of the furnace, or whether it will waver and die.
Satan has taken from you long enough; he would love to have your children, you, your family, all you have. But, you need to decide that you are not going to let a prickly little thistle tell you, a mighty cedar of Lebanon, what to do.
“Greater is he that is in you, then that he is in the world.” 1 John 4:4.
He is a big God. God is a giving God who wants to give you the desires of our heart. He has given you all the promises in His word to stand by faith; He solemnly promises to perform each of them.
The temptation is to give up and to doubt God’s word, but don’t do that because faith depends on the word of God for its strength. The more you add the word to your faith the stronger your faith becomes, and the more you learn to trust God with all of your heart.
Trusting in the Lord with all your heart means that you depend on God’s love, faithfulness, unchangeableness, regardless of how things look on how you feel.
Trusting with all your heart means you do not depend on what your head tells you, you do not lean to your own understanding.
Even today’s God sends His angels to protect and deliver His children.
And Jesus Himself will be with you in the midst of every trial, to give you joy and peace.

Right to information (RTI) advocates around the world have much to celebrate on today's Right To Know Day (28 September) with the launch of numerous tools, initiatives and reports that will make it more difficult for governments and public institutions to avoid their duty to promote information sharing and openness.
The camera of Hassan al-Wadhaf captured some of the bloody protest that killed dozens of protesters in Yemen in mid-September. It also captured the attack that lead to his death. After taking sniper fire to the head while filming the protests, al-Wadhaf died in hospital on 24 September, report Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). The killer has not been identified.
At a time when the murderous spree of drug cartels in Mexico seemed it couldn't get any more horrific, the decapitated body of María Elizabeth Macías, news editor of "Primera Hora" was found on 24 September, report the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Adding to the atmosphere of despair, another journalist is missing, according to IAPA and RSF.
Shortly after a provincial court in Guayas, Ecuador, upheld a bankrupting US$40 million fine and three-year jail sentences for three "El Universo" newspaper directors and one writer, President Rafael Correa insulted his critics during a public speech at Columbia University in New York, report the Andean Foundation for Media Observation & Study (FUNDAMEDIOS), the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
After threatening to use the retrograde Official Secrets Act to force a "Guardian" journalist to reveal her sources in the phone hacking scandal, the Metropolitan Police is holding a closed-door meeting with members of parliament to explain the move, report Index on Censorship and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
Chiranuch Premchaiporn, director of independent news site "Prachatai", is calling for worldwide support as she faces jail time of up to 20 years. Premchaiporn is the latest victim of Thailand's antiquated lèse-majesté laws, which were set up to protect the monarchy from insult, and are being used in modern times to silence dissent.
The official launch of the International News Safety Institute (INSI) - North America office, which will provide safety training and additional support to North American journalists, will take place in New York on 14 October.
Journalists and media in Eastern Europe that support press freedom are invited to apply for the Gerd Bucerius Free Press award. The deadline for applications is 24 October 2011.

Anyone familiar with South Asia might recall that identity there is inextricably linked with religion. Religion is turn is tied to narrative stories. South Asia today is divided up largely between two nations, India and Pakistan. India, whilst officially a secular country, has a general unspoken understanding that it derives most of its heritage from the heritage of its Hindu majority; there are worryingly even some fringe elements calling for the re-definition of India as a Hindu country.
To re-assert its secularism, India has even adopted its forgotten Buddhist past as a sort of government sanctioned heritage: the bank notes, national symbols and even government architecture reflect this. Pakistan as a nation-state defines itself as an Islamic country, its heritage harkening back to the glory days of the Muslim Mughal Empire: Nations, of course, need their origin stories and historical periods to reference- by inventing a continuum they are able to create a sense of national identity and unity. Despite this, there are often large minority populations and centuries of history in these nation-states which suggest this is not necessarily universally true.
Yet there was a time where South Asia, as we know it today, was a hotbed of diversity, fluid identity and heritages; where multiple schools of thought and faiths existed, intertwined with each other, and where ideas did not rule over borders but rather men did. And as humans are, so the law was fluid, unpredictable, accommodating, flexible and grounded in context. Contradictions in belief was the norm, and those aware of this made this to be a thing of great beauty.
This was an India that still existed when my grandparents were my age- sadly lost now due to the partition of India and Pakistan- it is also a historical fascination of mine to see how identity was treated back then as opposed to how is treated now. It is for this reason that for my Keystone project I am writing a historical-fiction novel set in 18th century India, a time of great change and revolutions, titled ‘Sarkar’ or sovereignty.
My aim with this novel is to shed light on how vast different and more flexible identity was in these days. My hope is that it may cause some to reflect on the strict binaries imposed on South Asian society today. Take for example the Rababi people; whose historic profession was as travelling bards who also made a living singing hymns in Sikh temples. Despite this, they identified as Muslims, holding the Sikh Guru Nanak as their murshid, or guide. Unfortunately they have scattered and their livelihood has been disrupted since the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. For my project, I hope to interview elders of the Chand clan of Rababis to gauge their sense of identity today.
Then there are the Meo, whom despite their identification as Sufis still retained many of their Hindu cultural and social practices, even intermarrying with the neighboring Hindu peoples. Unfortunately, in modern times they too have fallen prey to polarizing evangelicalism from both Hindu and Muslim far-right organizations.
Perhaps my favorite amalgamation is that of the Sindhi people; Muslims and Hindus both venerate the figure of Jhoolay Lal- for Muslims he was a great saint and for the Hindus he was an incarnation of Varuna, their patron water god. Legends and stories about him are interwoven among these communities such that though these characters might appear different, the Sindhis hold him to be one and same. The legend of Jhoolay Lal also has great implications for the identity of the now segregated Sindhi people.
This diversity is not only found in religions but also in terms of social professions; there are several communities in India which were historically able to reinvent themselves so as to increase their repute- People such as the Sayyids of Bohra or many Indian ‘Afghans’ were once farmers of Indian stock who passed themselves off as mercenaries of noble foreign lineage so as to appear more lucrative to employers; this was complete with an ethnic origin narrative of course.
The Third Battle of Panipat, which arguably began ethno-nationalistic thought in South Asia.
It is my love for this spectrum of identity (as opposed to the polarized identities has taken hold today) which makes me want to bring this period to life. I find it very delightful that my great-grandmother read Sikh scriptures in the morning and Hindu scriptures in the evening as way to make sense of the great jumble that was once personal religion in pre-partition India. I find it sad that this sort of thing would now be frowned upon. But still, I want to know how my ancestors reconciled this mess of belief, ethnicity and social position, because I dream we may see ourselves liberally as such again. I believe this is the best way for a country, plagued by polarizing sub-nationalism and sectarian-violence, to be truly secular in all walks of life.
Here is a photo of me working on what may or may not be my Keystone.

I was speaking on a panel in Oxford last week and the subject of greenhouse gases other than CO2 came up with one of my fellow panelists. It seems we can add a “new” one to the list of recognised greenhouse gases, Nitrogen Trifluoride. NF3 has a global warming potential (GWP) some 17,000 times that of CO2 with an estimated atmospheric lifetime of about 700 years. Like many of these high GWP compounds, NF3 finds a home in the electronics industry. It is not a listed Kyoto gas.
Global production of NF3 has grown from some 100 tonnes in 1992 to an estimated 4000 tonnes in 2007 and is projected to reach 8000 tonnes a year by 2010. The electronics industry tells us that only a very small (~2%) of global production is released into the atmosphere and that most industrial processes result in its destruction. However, not all observers agree on such levels (claims of up to 16% released).
Neverthless, the issue here is not NF3 itself, but the much more important need to keep a check on all the greenhouse gases. This point was really driven home for me when the Shell scenario team submitted the two Shell Scenarios, Scramble and Blueprints, to analysis by the MIT Integrated Global System Model of the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change.
Scramble sees the world taking a more reactive approach, first focussing on increasing the energy supply and then facing the consequences later.
In Blueprints, the difficult decisions are taken sooner rather than later, leading to revolutionary changes and a better balance of economic and environmental needs.
The analysis is described very thoroughly in the MIT paper The Influence on Climate Change of Differing Scenarios for Future Development Analyzed Using the MIT Integrated Global System Model. In Blueprints the emission of non-CO2 gases is kept in check at about current levels whereas by 2100 the same gases under Scramble are some two and a half times current levels and still rising, even though Scramble has finally managed to see CO2 emissions plateau by the second half of this century.
The impact on atmospheric concentration of GHGs is even more marked. By 2100 Blueprints sees CO2 levels in the atmosphere plateau at about 550 ppm and total GHGs plateau at 630 ppm CO2e. In Scramble, CO2 is nearing 700 ppm and still rising, but total GHGs are now over 1000 ppm CO2e and rising. The latter translates into a near quadrupling over the 21st century of the net radiative forcing due to all long-lived GHGs, sulfate and black carbon, aerosols, and ozone which translates again to an increase, by 2100, in the Global Mean Temperature in degrees Centigrade (relative to 2000) of some 4.5 deg.C.
Whilst even the concerted mitigation efforts of Blueprints may be insufficient overall, the stark message of the analysis is “watch out for the other gases”. As we head towards Copenhagen, all eyes will be on the energy sector and CO2 emissions. NF3 and its cohorts may well miss the party, but to our long term detriment.

On the Chopping Block: Here’s what those 19 agencies really are and what they really do.
I took a long hiatus. I’m back because I can’t stand silently by while Trump eliminates 19 actually-really-wonderful agencies in order to “save money” (in the grand scheme of things, these agencies cost pennies on the dollar and, frankly, if it’s saving money we’re concerned about, maybe we shouldn’t be spending $4.5 billion on a wall between the US and Mexico).
What was on the chopping block? Poor people and education, basically. Foreign assistance (but we’re bloating the military…). Also the arts. Like I said, heartbreaking.
The USADF is an Independent US Government Agency that provides grants of up to $250,000 to community groups and small enterprises that benefit under-served and marginalized groups in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Now, if you just don’t think ANY of our money should be leaving our borders (really myopic and naïve, but okay), I guess there’s not a lot that can be said to convince you that part of power is responsibility and, beyond that, simple decency. The USADF has helped support and fund more than 1,500 small enterprises and community-based organizations in more than 20 African countries. It’s also been involved in implementing a food security project in the Sahel region of West Africa.
And its cost? About $22 million dollars (so it wasn’t exactly bleeding us).
ARC is a federal-state partnership that works with the people of Appalachia (an historically impoverished region and oft-overlooked region of the country that includes all of West Virginia and portions of AL, GA, KY, MD, MS, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN, and VA) to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life. Congress established ARC in 1965 in order to help bring the region into socioeconomic parity with the rest of the United States. The Commission serves a population of more than 25 million people in an area of 205,000 square miles.
Most of its funds go towards grants, which require performance measures, and a regional research and evaluation program helps inform the agency’s work. Basically, ARC is focused on teaching communities how to “fish for themselves.” ARC targets its resources to the areas of greatest need and least half of its grants have historically gone to projects that benefit economically distressed areas.
And it’s had a positive impact. In 1960, there were 295 high poverty counties in Appalachia, now there are 91. It’s reduced infant mortality rate by 2/3 and doubled the percentage of high school graduates. ARC’s programs have helped create or retain over 101,000 jobs through projects that include entrepreneurship, education and training, healthcare, telecommunications, business development, and basic infrastructure. Additionally, ARC grants have leveraged almost $2.7 billion in private investments – nothing to sneeze at.
The CSB is an independent US federal agency that is charged with investigating industrial chemical accidents and conducts root cause investigations of chemical accidents at fixed industrial facilities. It’s authorized by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and has existed since January of 1998. It’s role? “To investigate accidents and determine the conditions and circumstances which led up to the event and to identify the cause or causes so that similar events might be prevented.” The CSB is under its own auspices and does not take direction from any other agency or the executive branch.
Once the CSB is gone, there isn’t another agency or organization that will take on the CSB’s roles. We’ll be back to unexamined accidents.
CNCS is a federal agency created in 1993 (under George H. W. Bush) that engages more than five million Americans in service through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, Senior Corp, USA Freedom Corps, President’s Volunteer Service Award, and the Presidential Freedom Scholarship Program. Its mission is to “support the American culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility.” Although it is a government agency, CNCS behaves like a foundation and is the largest annual grant maker supporting service and volunteering in the United States.
Anyway, all that is gone in the FY 2018 budget.
The CPB was created in 1967 in order to ensure universal access to non-commercial high-quality content and telecommunications services. It achieves this by distributing more than 70% of its funding to more than 1,400 locally owned public radio and television stations.
The CPB has received around $500 million dollars a year to fund media. Rooughly 95% of CPB’s appropriation goes directly to content development, community services, and other local station and system needs. Public broadcasting stations are funded by a combination of private donations from listeners/viewers, foundations, and corporations. Funding for public television comes in roughly equal parts from government (state and federal) and the private sector. Stations that receive CPB funds must meet certain requirements. For example, they must either maintain or provide opportunity for open meetings, open financial records, a community advisory board, equal employment opportunity, and lists of donors and political opportunities.
Similar to ARC, the DRA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for the residents of the Mississippi River Delta Region which consists of 252 counties and parishes in parts of AL, AR, IL, KY, LA, MS, MO, and TN. The agency is led by a federally appointed co-chairmen and the governors of the eight states mentioned. Under federal law, at least 75% of DRA funds must be invested in economically dstressed counties and parishes. Approximately half are awarded for transportation and basic infrastructure improvements.
The Denali Commission is an independent federal agency established in 1998 that exists to provide critical utilities, infrastructure, and economic support throughout Alaska – specifically paying attention to Alaska’s remote communities. It delivers federal services in the most cost-effective manner (again, why is this on the chopping block?) by reducing administrative and overhead costs. The Denali Commission’s mission is to provide job training and other economic development services in rural communities, and it was established with a specific focus on promoting rural development and providing power generation, transition facilities, modern communication systems, water and sewer systems and other infrastructure needs in rural Alaska.
I guess Trump doesn’t like Alaska.
Promoting museums and libraries as strong community anchors that enhance civic engagement, cultural opportunities, and economic vitality.
Supporting the stewardship of museum and library collections and promoting the use of technology to facilitate discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage.
IMLS also advises the President and Congress on plans, policies, and activities to sustain and increase public access to information and ideas. (Are you starting to notice a trend, here, with respect to what Trump is trying to nix? Because I am.) It supports the full range of libraries in the US, including public, academic, research, special and tribal, and supports the full range of museums in the US, including art, history, science and technology, children’s museums, historical societies, tribal museums, planetariums, botanic gardens, and zoos.
IAF’s mission statement is “to (1) strengthen the bonds of friendship and understanding among the peoples of this hemisphere; (2) support self-help efforts designed to enlarge the opportunities for individual development; (3) stimulate and assist effective and ever wider participation of the people in the development process; and (4) encourage the establishment and growth of democratic institutions, private and governmental, appropriate to the requirements of the individual sovereign nations of this hemisphere.” Again, another agency that isn’t costing us very much but is doing wonderful things for the less privileged of the world. In a world where kindness and empathy are rare commodities.
Grant recipients are closely monitored and required to report semi-annually on their progress. IAF compiles this information annually into a results report (available – for now – on their website). An independent review of IAF found that its approach “favors inductive reasoning in contrast to other aid agencies’ reliance on deductive methods.” In other words, rather than articulating questions and testing hypotheses, IAF begins with observation first and from observation follows relevant questions. This is immensely valuable because it results in a greater understanding of issues and people and provides an opportunity for more useful and effective solutions to problems.
The USTDA is another independent agency. It was established in 1961 to advance economic development and U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle income countries. Essentially, the agency helps companies create U.S. jobs through the export of U.S. goods and services needed for priority development projects in emerging economies. USTDA links U.S. businesses to export opportunities by funding project preparation and partnership building activities that then help to develop sustainable infrastructure as well as foster economic growth in partner countries.
USTDA also supports efforts to mitigate global climate change (And there it is. There’s why Trump wants to eliminate it) by helping partner countries develop renewable energy resources, invest in cleaner forms of traditional energy and modernize electric grids in order to increase their efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. In 2013, USTDA was named a Smart Grid Pioneer by “Smart Grid Today” for its efforts. In 2015, the agency committed over half of its energy investments to renewable power. If allowed to come to fruition, the projects would have the potential to unlock over $4.3 billion in financing and produce over 2,400 megawatts of new renewable energy (so, in addition to being environmentally friendly and intelligent, it’s also a potential goldmine). The new renewable energy would reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by an estimated 12 million metric tons a year as compared with new traditional power generation.
I could ramble on and on about USTDA; I suggest you do some of your own reading. Its elimination is tragic from an energy advancement perspective. Its worked to create sustainable cities, investing in intelligent solutions for transportation and energy, and working towards safe and efficient urban infrastructure. Thanks a lot, Trump.
LSC is the largest single funder of civil legal aid in the United States and distributes more than 90% of its total funding to 134 independent nonprofit legal aid programs. More specifically, LSC grantees help people who live in households with annual incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty line (for a single person that’s roughly between $11,880/year and $16,400/year). Eligible clients include the working poor, veterans and military families, homeowners and renters, families with children, farmers, the disabled, and the elderly.
“Justice for only those who can afford it is neither justice for all nor justice at all.” Texas Chief Justice Nathan Hecht.
Here’s another one with which just about everyone is familiar. The NEH was established in 1965 and is an independent federal agency. It is dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities. To further its goal of lending support, the NEH provides grants to cultural institutions for high-quality humanities projects (museums, archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public television, and radio stations, as well as individual scholars).
(1) Bridging Cultures Initiative: Explores ways in which the humanities promote understanding and mutual respect for people with diverse histories, cultures, and perspectives.
(2) Standing Together: Promotes an understanding of the military experience and supports returning veterans.
(3) “We the People” Initiative: Designed to encourage and enhance the teaching, study, and understanding of American history, culture, and democratic principles.
Guys, the NEH has done so much. Don’t let them kill it.
NeighborWorks America is a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization started in 1978 that supports community development in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It provides grants and technical assistance to more than 240 community development organizations in urban, suburban, and rural communities nationwide. The organization provides training for housing and community development professionals and administers the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program (created in 2007), which helps those dealing with foreclosure.
Again, Trump just really doesn’t want to help give the little guy a leg up. At all.
OPIC is the US’s development finance institution created in 1971 – it mobilizes private capital to help solve critical development challenges and, in doing so, purports to advance the foreign policy of the US and national security objectives. It helps businesses gain footholds in emerging markets with the intent of catalyzing revenue, jobs, and growth opportunities both in the US and abroad.
OPIC achieves its mission by providing investors with financing, political risk insurance, and support for private equity investment funds, if commercial funding cannot be found elsewhere. And GUESS WHAT, the institution operates on a self-sustaining basis at NO NET COST to American taxpayers. But…OPIC also has high environmental and social standards, including human and workers’ rights (because it wants to raise those standards in countries where it funds projects), so Trump probably felt it needed to go.
USIP is a non-partisan, independent, federal institution established in 1984 that analyzes conflicts around the world. It was formed by the United States Institute of Peace Act and calls for the Institute to “serve the people and the Government through the widest possible range of education and training, basic and applied research opportunities, and peace information services on the means to promote international peace and the resolution of conflicts among the nations and people of the world without recourse to violence.” In other words, USIP is supposed to teach, to help, to foster learning, and to strive to determine how to promote peace and resolve conflicts in ways that don’t involve picking up a weapon and killing someone.
USIP operates programs in conflict zones, conducts research and analysis, operates a training academy and public education center, provides grants for research and fieldwork, and convenes conferences and workshops. It also is working to build the academic and policy fields of international conflict management and peacebuilding.
In terms of budget? USIP hasn’t gotten more than $43 million. That’s less than one-tenth of 1% of the State Department’s budget and one-HUNDREDTH of 1% of the Pentagon’s budget.
(1) Increase leadership, collaboration, and civic engagement – Inspire and energize Americans to commit to preventing and ending homelessness; strengthen the capacity of public and private organizations by increasing knowledge about collaboration, homelessness, and successful interventions to prevent and end homelessness.
(2) Increase access to stable and affordable housing – Provide affordable housing to people experiencing or most at risk of homelessness; improve access to mainstream programs and services to reduce people’s financial vulnerability to homelessness.
(3) Increase economic security – Increase meaningful and sustainable employment for people experiencing or most at risk of homelessness; improve access to mainstream programs and services to reduce people financial vulnerability to homelessness.
(4) Improve health and stability – Integrate health services with assistance programs and housing to reduce people’s vulnerability to and the impacts of homelessness; advance health and housing stability for youth aging out of systems such as foster care and juvenile justice; advance health and housing stability for people experiencing homelessness who have frequent contact with hospitals and criminal justice.
(5) Retool the Homeless Crisis Response System – Transform homeless services to crisis response systems that prevent homelessness and rapidly return people who experience homelessness.
All-in-all, seems like a pretty worthwhile agency.
Our President is waging war against us, all of us. Make sure that Congress knows we don’t want this budget.

At some point in childhood, Dr. Seuss was everyone’s favorite author. The prolific author had multiple classic children’s tales from “Cat in the Hat” to “Green Eggs and Ham” to “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Perhaps the most relevant of his books at the moment (and every holiday season) is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” The 2000 live-action film seemingly plays in loop on network television every December. 18 years later, Universal Pictures has released another Grinch film, this one in animation.
The plot of this film follows the same sequence as the children’s book and previous Grinch films which we’re acquainted with. In the land of Whoville, a green and fury creature named The Grinch (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) lives with his only friend, a dog named Max, in an isolated cave. He encounters a young girl named Cindy Lou Who (Cameron Seely), whom he tells to speak to Santa in person about her mother’s hectic work schedule. The Grinch, who was raised an orphan, spitefully decides to “steal Christmas” from the residents of Whoville.
This film might be terrific to the young generation of kiddos who’ve yet to become exposed to Jim Carrey’s iconic Grinch character. To older audiences, “The Grinch” doesn’t offer anything more appealing than the last Grinch film. Nevertheless, it’s a solid holiday film perfect for the whole family.

February started off with beautiful spring sunshine, and ended in layers of snow – not really what we all expected when winter seemed to be ending. However, compared to January, it was short and sweet, with plenty keeping me busy!
Here are a few things that inspired and entertained me throughout the second month of 2018.
This was the opening show for NST’s brand new City venue, and what a way to begin a new exciting era of culture in the heart of Southampton! The Shadow Factory was utterly fantastic and, although it’s no longer playing (sorry!), I know that I can expect to see many more high-quality performances like this in the city from now on.
I finally got to see Darkest Hour in February. I always take so long to see the films everyone raves about that I risk missing them entirely, so I was very glad that didn’t happen this time!
This film was great, beautifully shot with a stunning score and, of course, Gary Oldman’s Oscar-winning performance as Winston Churchill. I have a few more films lined up to see in March, and hopefully they will be equally as good.
I was overjoyed to grab some last-minute tickets to see Miss Saigon on the Southampton leg of its UK tour. Incredibly memorable, it was one of the best shows I have ever been lucky enough to watch; I can’t recommend it enough. If you get the chance…go go go!!
This was another last-minute theatre trip at the end of the month; two days after seeing Miss Saigon, I was at NST Campus watching the award-winning musical, Teddy.
I loved this show and found it inspiring and poetic; sadly it’s no longer in Southampton but it is on tour and will be ending its trip in London, so again, if you can see it, make sure you do!
Aptly, Dolly’s bookish debut arrived in my arms on Valentine’s Day! Another read I adored, and another one on my lengthy ‘to be reviewed’ list, this was a true gem and really stands out from other memoirs I have read.
Some people leave work on a Friday and head out for a drink or three to see in the weekend.
I, on the other hand, go straight to @OctoberBooks and treat myself to a few mini-reads from the new @PenguinUKBooks #PenguinModern collection.
Corrie has started her own series where she speaks to different women about their careers, aspirations, and journeys. I have listened to every episode so far and each one has left me feeling motivated and inspired. Corrie’s interviewing style is really chilled and she lets her guests really shine; her chat with Samantha Moyo stood out to me in particular. This is definitely one to enjoy during your commute!
February was a bit of a Dolly Alderton fest for me, obviously! This little podcast series, released in line with her book, is really quite lovely; an opportunity to hear about various familiar figures and their experiences of love in all shapes and sizes. I really loved her chat with Ruby Tandoh – it’s well worth a listen.
Sadly it has moved on, but I can’t wait to see what will replace it at the Museum.
February saw the launch of NST City and Studio 144 with a spectacular celebratory event in Southampton’s new Cultural Quarter.
The event on 16th February included performances in Guildhall Square, fireworks and a sneaky peek in the new John Hansard Gallery space. I managed to head along after work, and was so glad I made it; it was a vibrant and truly exciting moment and I cannot wait for the fantastic future of Southampton’s cultural scene!

The Adelaide River snakes its way south from the Van Diemen Gulf, through Djukbinj National Park, to the Adelaide River settlement on the Stuart Highway. The river is perhaps best known for its popular ‘jumping crocodile’ cruises, run by a number of different operators. The crocodile cruises are located about one hour’s drive south of Darwin along the Arnhem Highway - just follow the signs to any of the ‘jumping crocodile’ theme cruises. Watch crocodiles being encouraged to jump high in the air for their food. The river is also home to a massive and varied bird population. Nearby, the Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre provides a 360 degree view of the floodplains of the river. Viewing platforms and walking paths at Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve also provide visitors with an excellent opportunity to see birdlife.

The resignation of President Nazarbayev will herald a new era for Kazakhstan. But what should the country expect in the future?
The Brexit deadline has been extended to 12 April and Prime Minister Theresa May has promised to stand down once her withdrawal agreement is passed by the Parliament.
As the Chinese economy starts to slow down and relations with Beijing become more challenging, Australia will need to put the lessons it has learned along the way to good use.
Beyond Brexit: How Can Australia Better Engage Europe?
After Brexit, Australia should look to forge stronger ties with Brussels and the continent.
The news that special counsel Robert Mueller wrapped up his probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections and potential collusion with the Trump campaign sent Washington and the world into a frenzy.
Australia's move to recognise Juan Guaidó as the interim president of Venezuela is consistent with its interests in the region and its promotion of open democratic governance and the rules-based international order.
After Christchurch, what will New Zealand do with its Guns?
Changes to New Zealand's gun laws should be based on calm, objective and honest dialogue about what works to reduce different forms of gun violence.
After the Christchurch terror attack, there needs to be scrutiny of both the online hate speech which contributes to radicalisation and the intelligence failings which allowed such an attack to occur.

We are now absorbing earth-bound Virgo energies, celebrating the upcoming New Moon this Wednesday, September 20 at 27º Virgo. Pay close attention to issues involving ‘savior/victim’ polarity, the Virgo New Moon is bringing this into focus for resolution. Virgo is the sign of service, highlighting compassionate healers and caring for others. This can swing over the balance point into over-giving, controlling caretaking, self-sacrifice, and martyr resentment. Neutralize the ‘savior/victim’ polarity into your inner Zero Point – set yourself free! The Equinox balancing act is the theme of the moment…as the sun moves into 0º Libra the day of the Equinox on Friday, September 22nd. Libra is the sign of ‘balanced scales’, emphasizing more harmony and balancing polarities of masculine/feminine, yin/yang, light and dark.

Here’s a look at some of the top stories from Voorhees in 2012.
To kick off the New Year, Mayor Michael Mignogna was sworn into his ninth year on the Voorhees Township Committee and his seventh year as mayor.
Mignogna was nominated by each member of the committee to serve again as mayor. His brother, Stephen, swore him in at the meeting, as two of Mignogna’s hildren stood by his side.
Mignogna said the first order of business was to take a look at how the township can reduce spending while generating income.
He said the township has made significant progress in recent years to pare down the budget.
Mignogna said the main areas of cost savings have been realized in staff reductions and efficiencies throughout town hall.
Gov. Christie made a special visit to Voorhees in January.
Hundreds of residents from Voorhees and neighboring communities came out in full force to see Christie at his first town hall event of the year at the Voorhees Town Center.
Christie spoke to the crowd, which packed the lower level and second-floor balcony, near the township’s municipal offices, reiterating the message he had delivered the previous day in his State of the State address, citing the need for job creation, balancing the budget and proposing to reduce the income-tax rate statewide by 10 percent.
Once Christie opened the floor up for questions and comments from the public, residents from Voorhees and Cherry Hill quickly let the governor know how they felt about a proposed charter school coming into their community.
Christie signed legislation that would allow school board elections to be moved to November.
Christie initially proposed the legislation in May 2010 and garnered bipartisan support in the legislature. His reasons for signing the bill were to encourage a higher voter turnout and to help school districts save money by combining school elections with the general election.
Residents voted to approve the Voorhees Fire Department’s $7,466,965 budget by a margin of 469–397 on Feb. 18, Chief Jim Pacifico said.
The 2012 budget is under the 2 percent state-mandated cap.
The budget was slightly less than last year’s nearly $7.5 million budget.
In a close race, residents also voted to send Thomas Hanney and Barbara Silary to the Voorhees Board of Fire Commissioners.
Hanney and Silary both got 448 votes.
The two other candidates — Vaughn Vandegrift and Kurtis Stroemel — received 438 and 431 votes respectively, Pacifico said.
Pacifico said he appreciated the residents who turned out for the weekend vote.
“I thank them very much for keeping the fire department on track,” Pacifico said.
With dozens of members of the Voorhees Township Police Department present, Mignogna swore in Charles Fowler and Daniel Stark as sergeants at during a meeting in February.
The committee then shifted its focus to hashing out the details of a new citizen’s budget advisory committee.
Earlier in the caucus session, Committeeman Michael Friedman said the group reached a compromise about who would sit on the citizen committee.
Friedman said he wanted four residents on the committee, but other members of the township committee said they wished for an open citizen group, allowing any interested Voorhees taxpayers to get involved.
“We reached a compromise so all the citizens of Voorhees could have a voice,” Friedman said.
Committee members chimed in, stating their satisfaction with the group being open to all residents.
“We all agree we’re about transparency,” Mignogna said.
Voorhees Schools Superintendent Raymond Brosel had been on the move, delivering budget addresses to interested parents and community members at the district’s five schools.
Brosel highlighted monetary figures and points of interest to a group of parents recently at E.T.
Hamilton School, stating major teacher cuts are a thing of the past.
Last year, he said, 12 teaching positions were cut from the budget, adding up to 24 overall staff cuts. This year, the district is not proposing any staff cuts, he said.
If the notorious landfill on Staten Island that took in most of the rubble from Ground Zero after the Sept. 11 attacks has a vision to transform its 2,220 acres into a productive and beautiful park, so, too, can Voorhees Township.
Just off of Centennial Boulevard, spread out over 37 acres, sits the former Buzby Landfill, which reached capacity in 1972, endured dozens of lawsuits over misuse, changed hands from the Buzby brothers to RCA and General Electric and was purchased by the township in 1978 for $1.
After a few years of visioning and planning, the Rutgers University Department of Landscape Architecture presented its vision for the site, after listening and taking feedback from community leaders, residents and elected officials.
And after sharing much of his own time with baseball and the community, residents found their own way to honor Tom, who died on April 9, 2011, at the age of 51, after having been diagnosed with lung cancer just three months prior.
Three Voorhees police officers responded to a call they will never forget.
Officers Nicholas Gruber, William Walsh and Daniel Scheets were on duty when police assistance was needed at the Avalon Court Complex.
The three were told to look for the suspect in a silver Nissan with a front rainbow tag.
Knowing the suspect was armed and dangerous, the officers noticed the vehicle parked off to the side of Centennial Boulevard. Police presented themselves to the suspect and told the man to surrender.
After encountering the three officers, 39-year-old Dr. Giocondo Navek of Williamstown took his own life.
Just minutes before, he had shot and killed Dr. Payman Houshmandpour near Centennial Boulevard, officials said.
Police Chief Keith Hummel, along with Mayor Michael Mignogna and Voorhees committee members, honored the three officers at a township committee meeting before dozens of officers, friends and family members.
Officials from Virtua held a community question and answer session for neighbors and nearby business owners to discuss future plans for the old hospital.
The hospital was rendered useless and closed for business last May, when Virtua opened its doors to patients at the new hospital located off of Route 73.
At the meeting, Virtua staff announced work was set to begin on Monday, June 4 to remove the old hospital building, along with the helicopter hangar and helipad, the former Summit Surgical Center and the office building at 1 Carnie Boulevard.
Voorhees Township had gone without a property reassessment for 19 years, until 2006, when Camden County required the township to do so.
But in the years that followed, the housing market continued on a downward spiral.
The reassessment process is mainly governed by the state and county, said Township Administrator Larry Spellman.
So now, he said, Voorhees is trying to catch up and bring all homes in the community up to fair-market value.
“The state never took into consideration six straight years of housing decline,” Spellman said.
It’s not exactly “The Incredible Journey,” but if Mitzy the beagle pointer mix could talk, she would have some amazing tales to tell.
The two-and-a-half year old rescue dog disappeared in Evesham Township on Saturday, May 19, after running away from her owner and into the woods behind Georgia O’Keefe Way.
After more than two weeks on the lam, the frightened dog was found on Wednesday, June 6, on William Feather Drive in Voorhees Township.
Volunteers from the Animal Orphanage in Voorhees returned from a three-day journey of a lifetime to Texas. The arrival home was a relief; the four dogs they rescued were safely back where they belong and a welcome home party set up for their return.
Milky, Chaz, Theodore and Gina returned home after they were sent to the Spindletop Rescue facility in Texas.
According to Shelter Director Christine Todd, the Animal Orphanage had sent the four pit bulls there earlier because the facility and its owner were highly regarded in pit-bull behavioral techniques and knowledge.
“This place is the last resort for animals with behavioral issues,” Todd said.
Spindletop is a well-known rescue group in Willis, Texas. However, Texas law enforcement, due to alleged negligence, seized approximately 300 dogs from the property, according to Todd.
Miriam Gilbert’s recent race was the 16th annual 24 Hour Around the Lake Race. The race had four options from which to choose — the 24-hour ultra, 12- hour ultra, 24-hour relay and a full marathon. Gilbert, 53, decided to run the 24-hour race. She managed to run 83.32 miles in 22 hours, 10 minutes and 31 seconds.
“I came in third in the women’s open,” Gilbert said.
Lacing up her running shoes, Gilbert is an ultra-runner. She does not let anything slow her down. A few years ago, Gilbert was diagnosed with myelopathy of the spinal cord as a result of B12 deficiency, she said.
Small improvements around town will not go unnoticed. Road paving and repairs and stop sign installation will take place. And new equipment in two local playgrounds will be installed.
Council members also approved the 2012 Road Program, the installation of stop signs on Fourth and Fifth Streets and moving forward with installing playground equipment in Green Ridge and Sandpiper playgrounds.
More than 2 million New Jersey residents were without power as of Thursday, Nov. 1, and eight counties were included in the direct federal assistance declaration announced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Oct. 30 after Hurricane Sandy swept through.
Mayor Michael Mignogna said Voorhees was fortunate.
According to PSE&G’s outage maps, as of Thursday, Nov. 1, Voorhees experienced between one to 500 power outages.
Other than power outages, the township only experienced fallen trees causing damage to a few vehicles and two homes, Police Chief Lou Bordi said.
Democrats will continue to out number Republicans on the Voorhees Committee. Mario Di-Natale and Andrea “Andi” Ayes were elected over Tom Booth and Dan Buck. Ayes held the leading number of votes at 6,385 in all 19 precincts, while DiNatale was 75 votes behind her at 6,310 votes. In the Board of Education elections Barbara Dunleavy (5,004 votes), Denise Kirkland (4,628 votes), and Amy Lynch (3,876 votes) were reelected to serve on the board.
Newcomer Patrick Stewart closely followed Lynch with 3,821 votes.
The time to find those lastminute holiday deals was coming to a close, while Voorhees has been attracting holiday shoppers to both the mall and local businesses alike.
Economic director Michael Marchitto said Voorhees businesses were doing well this season.
He said most businesses have reported “fairly strong sales” like last year. Although the official numbers are not released, Marchitto said positive reports are coming into his office.

The hoteliers and restaurateurs who participated each had their own operational and financial challenges, but there were some common themes we thought we would share.
Disciplining for Absences: Group consensus is to discipline when the absence is not covered by sick time or hotel ordinance covered time; some have found employees quickly exhausting their time before they accrue additional protected time off. Some hotels have converted separate sick and vacation to a combined PTO. This is easy to administer, but makes it hard to discipline because there is so much paid and somewhat protected time off. Other hotels have kept a separate sick bucket (frontloading 48 hours in compliance with LA Ordinance) with a separate vacation/PTO bucket to meet the 96 hour requirement under hotel ordinance. This allows hotels to discipline employees for not following call-in protocols after first 48 hours used, and to deny some PTO requests that are not illness based.
Wage Scale Issues: Many hotels reported employee relations issues because more tenured employees want higher wages than new employees. One option is to provide certain extra benefits based on seniority (such as paid parking). But, remember, any non-discretionary wage related benefits are included in the overtime rate.
Eliminating certain employee benefits like paid parking, dry cleaning, shift premium.
Start charging for meals or eliminate the employee cafeteria.
Eliminate paid holidays or include paid holidays in PTO time.
Eliminate other paid days off: Bereavement, jury duty.
Stop drug testing all applicants/new hires.
Eliminate commissions for sales and catering — instead pay per performance and meeting quota or quarterly goals.
Outsource to third parties. Although this may or may not save costs/lower risks. Be careful about joint employment liability; negotiate for proper indemnification language in vendor contracts.
Some hotels are eliminating service charges and paying higher wages to banquet servers.
If a service charge is in effect, 100% must be shared equally to the employees who performed the tasks (e.g. room service or delivery) or worked an event, so tracking these hours to ensure proper payment has become cumbersome. It’s still okay to pool tips/gratuities (but not service charges).
Any service charge or administrative fee must be clear on who it goes to. Any ambiguity could prompt an unfair business practice claim.
Be careful before jointly deciding to implement any new surcharge to offset hotel ordinance fees. A recent anti-trust class action was just filed against a group of restaurants that got together to institute a 3% surcharge.
Compliance with this type of local ordinance is challenging, so if you would like to part of any future working discussion groups, we would love to have you… just let us know.

A range of Shotcrete machines are available which control the complete process of, typically, wet spray concrete, making the process very fast and easy. Wet sprayed concrete is traditionally applied by machine and our shotcrete machines can manage most pre-blended cementitious construction materials for a huge range of applications. Shotcrete Machines are essential where there are high spray outputs and large cross-sections that require the work to be mechanised. Unlike conventional concrete pumps, these systems have to meet the additional requirement of delivering a concrete flow that is as constant as possible, and therefore continuous, to guarantee homogeneous spray application.

First I have a Axim x50 520 mgz.
Quetion) Has anybody managed to get gps4ppc to link with external bluetooth gps unit without using gpsgate and the like? I can use gpsgate and everything works fine with it but I would rather do it with just b4ppc and it's librarys if at all possible. Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this.
There should be no problem doing it with Serial2 library and GPS library.
I've been working also with gpsgate and GPS reading functions, over an Htc/Qtek S200 with WM5 and a external BT GPS.
Yes, it works but, until now, not quite well; I mean that I've been able to read positions provided from gpsgate virtual port in a GPS simple application (the GPS sample), but with a lot of delay, both in the first adquirance, and also in the following retreived data.
This delay makes it no useful for a real time working, which was what I needed, so I stopped developing with gpsgate. Maybe there's a way to make it works ok, but in a first approaching it has a unexpected delay.

Things to keep in mind when having your car serviced outside of the"Casa"
The biggest responsibility a car owner has is to properly maintain his vehicle at all times, one of the most important being the engine oil change service. Brand new car owners are encouraged to continue having their vehicles serviced in the “Casa” due to it being under warranty, but “Casa” prices are notoriously high leading to most car owners to look outside for cheaper oil change servicing. The problem with going outside are the authenticity and quality of the parts and services.
Just because you’ve been driving your vehicle for a few years does not mean you know enough about it. Sadly, majority of the car owners nowadays don’t even touch the owner’s manual considering it contains all the essential information about your vehicle. Not only does it contain information such as the proper tire inflation pressures but more importantly the proper specification and viscosity of the engine oil your vehicle should be using.
As much as a hassle it is to go out of your way to have your vehicle serviced is, a general practice should be to stay and wait for your vehicle to finish. Owners should inspect the parts being used and replaced by the mechanics (Filters, Lubricant) to ensure they used quality parts that meet your vehicles specifications.
When it comes to your vehicle, adapting the “Bahala na” attitude is not advised as you may be taken advantage of by mechanics who will include other services that you don’t need. Ask for the Job Order before the start to service your vehicle, inspect every line item, make sure that each service item is something you asked for specifically or relevant to your service.
Once everything has been completed on your vehicle, test it! Turn your engine on for a few minutes to make sure there aren’t any leaks and everything is running as it should be.
Going out of casa for your oil change service while cost effective could also be a bad experience. Your vehicle vehicle relies heavily on the lubricant systems in your engine to properly operate thus, proper servicing for this is needed. Always remember these tips in order to give you the same peace of mind you get in the casa while also saving more money.

Michael Moore: I was kind of a strange child. My parents knew early on that something must have been wrong with me. I crawled backwards until I was two... It all began when my mother didn't show up at my first birthday party, 'cause she was off having my sister, and dad tried to cheer me up by letting me eat the whole cake. I knew then, there had to be more to life than this.
Roger & Me tells the story of Flint, Michigan after General Motors chairman Roger Smith, shut down the GM plant leaving the entire town in financial ruin. It also tells the story of director Michael Moore's quest to find Smith and bring him to Flint to see the town's devastation. The documentary tells the idiocy, cowardice, heartlessness, and kissing up of the rich while a town tries anything, and I do mean anything, to get back on their feet. I saw this in my high school economics class and after watching parts of Moore's TV Nation ( also highly recommended ) I felt compelled to watch this again. Contains grisly scenes of a rabbit being slaughtered, which I find painful since I have a pet rabbit, and Smith delivering a Christmas speech about the warmth the holiday season provides, while superimposed over a family being evicted on Christmas Eve. Smith later resigned as chairman and will later on meet a man in a red suit, and he ain't Santa Claus. 9 out of 10.

Getting kids to eat nutritious food can be HARD. One of my clients has two young children, and while one will eat most of what’s put in front of her, the other has much more “discerning” taste. If it isn’t topped with cheddar cheese, or drizzled with ketchup, honey or maple syrup, there’s a good chance it’s going to end up moving around the plate.
Wanting to incorporate the beautiful eggplant that’s in season in Ontario right now, I recently made a roasted eggplant hummus for the family. The hummus had a fantastic creamy texture from the roasted eggplant; however, the sharp flavour of the raw garlic I used was really off-putting for the kids, one of whom asked me quite seriously “why did you make this?”. You’ve got to love kids’ honesty!
I actually thought the raw garlic taste was a bit too strong as well, and so tried to think of a way to subdue its acridness while maintaining garlic flavour in the hummus. And then I realized I could roast the garlic along with the eggplant, to take away its bite and add more natural sweetness.
With roasted garlic, the hummus turned out 100% better, and, to my amazement, the sweet-toothed kids actually really liked it. Something that kids (and adults) will enjoy that has protein, fiber, vegetables, and is free of any added sugar…that’s a huge win!
Roast the eggplant and garlic: Preheat oven to 400F; Cut eggplant in half and score flesh 3 times in one direction and 3 times in the other to resemble a diamond pattern; On each eggplant half, brush 1 ½ teaspoons of oil and season with 1/8 teaspoon of salt; Place halves, flesh-side up, on a parchment or foil-lined baking tray; Toss garlic with 1 teaspoon oil and wrap in tinfoil; Place this tinfoil garlic packet beside eggplant; Roast vegetables for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the flesh of the eggplant is soft and has developed a caramelized crust; Remove pan from oven and allow eggplant and garlic to cool slightly.
Combine the chickpeas, 3 tablespoons water, tahini, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, cumin, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Once the eggplant and garlic have cooled, scrape the flesh of the eggplant away from the skin and squeeze the garlic from its skins; Add eggplant and garlic pulp to the blender with the other hummus ingredients; Process until smooth; Adjust the consistency with another tablespoon of water if necessary.
Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a light dusting of cumin.
