A question came up in the Maya-Python mailing list that I thought was a really good topic, and should be reposted.
Someone asked how you can create maya UI objects and embed them within your main PyQt application. Specifically he wanted to create a modelPanel and embed it so that he would have a camera view within his own PyQt window.
Update: Instructions for Maya 2017+, using PySide2 and Qt5, are available via this blog post by Lidia Martínez
You need sip and the MQtUtil functions to convert between maya node paths and python Qbjects. Its the same idea as having to use those functions to get a reference to the maya MainWindow, in order to parent your dialog.
Actually, many might even consider me arrogant, full of myself, or if they are trying to be nice - confident.
The thing of it is.... I'm not arrogant. No, I'm not really totally fragile, either, mind you, but I don't actually have the self confidence that I apparently exude. I can be broken and it isn't nearly as hard as I make it seem on the outside.
So, that being the case...Twitter and Blogger don't help! No...I know that's funny, but seriously...think about it....it's like freaking high school all over again!!! You have the 'popular' bloggers and the Tweeters that all 'hang out' (online, of course, seeing as they live all over the world) and the ones that go to the big conferences like the recent BlogHer event and the ones that have companies knocking down their headers just to get these people to mention them in a Tweet or a blog post. And yet....I am none of the above. CRAP! It's happening all over again! LOL! High School! And to think - I thought by the time I hit thirty it would all be behind me! HA!
So this is the thing....the other day I was chatting with someone that I work with very briefly on Twitter. If you are a Twitter user, you know that every conversation is totally public, but that's part of the fun...anyone can jump in! So, over the course of grand total of about six tweets back and forth I managed to INSTANTLY lose 2 followers. Okay...no biggie...obviously they can't handle the fact that someone might have a different opinion than they do and so they decided they don't like me simply because of that despite the fact that they liked me fine prior to that....hmmmm...that makes sense. LOL!
Now yes, this could have been sheer coincidence, but let's be honest, here...it's not likely in this particular case. Just trust me on this one.
Then there is the blog. I have that cute little followers widget over there on the right side of my blog because I absolutely LOVE to see the faces of those who read my blog! I get so excited with each and every comment and I just really enjoy the community that evolves around blogging. It's crazy wicked fun! The thing is...the other day....(just before the Twitter incident) I lost a small bunch of followers!
Seriously! And these people, I know I didn't likely offend, seeing as I tend to avoid the offensive on my blog, just 'cause I like you guys and stuff. So they just left because they find me boring? Obnoxious? Unlikeable?
OR...the reality of it is that Blogger tends to drop followers from time to time, as those of you with Blogger Blogs already know so well, and some people only follow for giveaway purposes and then unfollow after that because they just don't have time or aren't really interested in your subject matter.
All of the above are reasonable. So why the BLOODY HECK did it bug me so much to see that number go down? Maybe I am fragile.
I am sure I have mentioned Weight Watchers before, no? Well, anyway, last summer I joined and I hit my goal weight after several months and I was THRILLED! I mean, I felt better, I looked great, and I felt SO GOOD about myself! So, I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and now I go in once a month to weigh in and prove that I am maintaining and it is all free as long as I stay within two pounds of my goal weight.
Yes. I was over my goal by less than 3 lbs. And that managed to get to me THAT much! Seriously? WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME? As my husband kindly pointed out, one could easily lose that much simply by pooping. (LMAO! Sorry if that was too much info, but I really couldn't leave it out! LOL!)
But here is the thing....I'm fine about all of the above now. No, not because I've justified any of it, but rather because I realized that it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER!
Am I less of a person if I don't have a GAGILLION blog followers? Ummm.... let me think about that one, too......
Is it okay if my weight fluctuates just a bit here and there as long as I stay healthy and take care of my body?
And I'm not alone...I know others have been saddened by the loss of a Twitter follower, blogger follower, or some other little insignificant thing, so this is why I am writing this post today.
You are you! Not who any social media number or classification determines you to be! Not even who the number on the scale tries to tell you who you are....nope....you are just you.
There are far more important things in life to worry about. So I beg of you ... DON'T let those types of things even touch your self esteem. Be happy.
Oh...and I happened to see the number of people subscribed to my blog has gone up drastically, so even if you aren't public followers, I know you are out there, and for THAT I am thankful! LOL!
Today's post is a quick one. I have a long one brewing about the whole blog following/twitter following/self esteem thing, but it's not quite ready yet. And....I am tossing around the idea of doing a vlog post. You know...a video...with me...and my thoughts...out loud. Are you interested in that kind of thing? Let me know!
Anyway...here is a card that I made for a wonderful friend's birthday last weekend! I recently got some Bam Pop! stamps and they make me SOOOO happy! Can I even TELL you how cute these stamps are? Nope. I can't. That's why I had to use one to show you just how stinking amazingly adorable they are! I am so totally in love with them. Robots. Flying. In the sky. With parachutes. Seriously. How could that NOT invoke a smile? LOVE IT!
I used bright and cheery colors and pieced together a 'scene' of sorts to create this card. I just LOVE these tree stamps, too! Now I want some cool line image tree stamps to mix with them! These ones are from The Paper Company and were sent to me by none other than the fabulous Jewelz! Thanks, babe! I love 'em!
So, basically, this card was way fun to make and a wee-little bit hard to give away! HA! Have you ever done that? Made something for someone and then decided to keep it 'cause you just loved too much!? LOL! I did give it to her, though. I hope she liked it! LOL!
Well, I need to get my thumb to stop bleeding, so I will chat with you fine folks later. Have a great day!!!!!
I am SO excited about this photograph! It took LOTS of shots, since we did it ourselves with the timer on the camera, but it was a BLAST to do and now it is so much more than just a perfect photograph, but now it is a memory, too! I just love that!

DID YOU KNOW that there is this simply wonderful little shop on Newbury Street that sells nothing but gnome and fairy stuff? Yeah. It's pretty amazing.
The Hubbums even offered to buy me a gnome when we were there. I didn't choose to get one this time around, but I am quite sure that eventually a wonderful little friend from that shop will grace my studio. It's just meant to be.
I have been sitting on this wonderful suitcase paper for awhile now and I decided that it was time to use it because I totally love it! I used both the front and back of the paper (the back was that blue dotted paper I used for the background) which I totally love to do because it makes me sad to see a side of double-sided patterned paper never used! LOL!
I used a fabulous satin-ey kind of ribbon and I just love the way it looks on the card. I'm really loving wider ribbons on cards lately, but I don't have many, so I need to work on that stash. I think I could incorporate them into my layouts, too, actually.
And, of course, the start of the show...the NikoArt gnome stamped image colored with Prismacolor pencils. I stamped him on textured paper, which I usually don't do, but I was feeling 'dangerous' when I made this one! HA! Incidentally, colored pencils + small surface area + textured paper = tricky to color. I definitely had to pull out the Mineral Spirits to blend this one and get the best color coverage. BUT...he looks great, doesn't he? Yes. He does. I promise.
And just in case you aren't familiar with the Traveling Gnome. He is pretty much my hero. Just say'n. Enjoy.
Well, if you have read this blog, like, oh....I don't know.... EVER...then you know just how much I LOVE color! Color simply makes me happy! That is one of the many reasons why I absolutely ADORE Farmer's Markets! I mean, of course I love the fresh, local, and often organically grown fabulousness that is the fruit and vegetable wares, but they are also such an amazing wealth of brilliant color! I just can't help but to snap a few photos! These were taken in downtown Boston. The vendors were hilarious about me taking photos! One even INSISTED that I get him in the shot! LOL! I love it! Whoever tries to tell you that big cities are not friendly places has obviously never spent any time in one! Boston is a wonderfully friendly city...you just have to know how it works.
I just wanted to let you all know about an amazing giveaway for scrapbookers! Melissa over at Creating From the Heart is giving away a great collection of goodies including a MM Slice! Check it out on her blog!
So, since my desk was the complete disaster that I showed you on Wednesday, I decided it would be fun toss myself a fun little challenge! So, I decided that I would create a card from start to finish using only stuff that was on my desk (and, the overflow piles around it, of course! LOL!). It took me no more than ten minutes to make this fabulous little card and I love it! It was fast and easy and everything was at my fingertips! LOL! too bad ir's all in piles and not organized at my fingertips! HA! Here is the result of my challenge:
Now...for all of you out there with a messy desk...I am forwarding this challenge on to YOU! Create a card using ONLY the items that you have on your desk. Post a photo of your messy desk and your finished card on your blog with a link to this contest. Then come back here and comment to let me know you have entered! I have a pack of tags from Elle's Studio for the randomly drawn winner! You have one week! Post your messy desk photo and your card by Saturday, July 31st for a chance to win! If I get lots of entries, I will add more to the prize, so spread the word!!!!
Also, I am hosting the same challenge over at AMR, so if you enter there, you can enter here, too, for two chances to win! The prizes are separate - one prize for my blog winner and one for the AMR winner!
I think that is the question that the writers of this musical were trying to answer! Oh, my goodness! I went to the Trinity Rep last night with my Mom and my sister to see Menopause The Musical. We laughed and laughed and then...when we caught our breath...we laughed some more. Four women, all with completely different backgrounds and totally different current lives, come together in one place where you can always find an abundance of middle aged women - Bloomingdales. They become quick friends as they instantly find that the common bond between them is that they are all CRAZY! Okay... so that might be from the perspective of someone who has yet to go through this stage of life of which these women speak.... LOL! But, in all seriousness, the musical was fantastic. The cast was wonderful and each actress filled her role so amazingly well. The songs, all re-written favorites from the 60's or so, are wonderful and hilarious all at the same time! Nothing but fun! Fredena Williams was amazing in the role of the Professional Woman. Her voice alone captures you, but her sassy tone and style illuminate the stage! Cherie Price, as the Soap Star, was adorable and brought spunk to an already fun role. Carolynne Warren was a riot playing the role of the Iowa Housewife! You could just see so many people that you know in her vibrant character! Barbara Pinolini, Earth Mother, reminded the audience of the generation from which (most of them) came and she did it with great fervor! Overall, they gave an amazing performance and kept the entire audience in stitches the entire show! It was a blast and a great way to spend a night with my Mom and my little sister, whom deserves all the credit because it was all her idea in the first place!
If you would love to see Menopause the Musical and you don't live in the Providence area, check to see if and when it is playing in your area here! If you are in the Providence area, Trinity Rep has many shows still open in both July and August so check it out!
Why these photos for Wordless Wednesday? Because, quite simply, there are no words to express how much I DON'T want to spend my time cleaning this disaster! LOL! I want to make more stuff!!!! But, alas, my space has become QUITE limited, so I'm guessing I will have to do at least SOME clean up before jumping into my creative endeavors this evening. Such is the life of an artist. Such is the life. *sigh*
Congratulations, Monie G and MJ!!! Please contact me within 48 hours so I can get you the info you need to receive your prize!!!!
The Skin MD giveaway ends today, so don't forget to enter that one!!!! Really, this is great stuff! The Hubbums has been using it, as he has some time off, and it is working great! He loves it!
I know... the scrapbooking blog world is probably overloaded with sneaks and peeks of all of the new product on the way, but I just can't help but to toss in a post with some of the lines I am most looking forward to getting my hands on!
I have to say, I am actually really excited about the releases this time around. Last time there were a few that I wanted from some favorite companies, but not a ton...this time around we are talking a whole different story! I am STOKED! Seriously...I am just giddy about some of this stuff! So, here are snippets of a few that I am most excited about:
Blue Skies by American Crafts: Holy CUTE!!! No, seriously, I love it all! The stamps are SO STINKING WONDERFUL!!! And if you haven't tried AC Flair embellishments yet, you totally should because they will make you happy. I promise.
Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend AND Earth Love DOUBLE DECK!!!!!! Do you people see what they have done here? They took TWO amazing lines, both of which I MUST HAVE and combined them in one package for my purchasing pleasure. Seriously. I think I am going to kiss them.
Jillibean Soup Talk Soup collection Goodness! Can you see this Kraft fabulousness? No, seriously, though, folks. If you aren't happy yet you should see a doctor, 'cause my friends, this is some GOOD STUFF we're chatt'n about today!
Kaiser Krafts: This collection is just totally fun and cute! I wish the colors were a bit stronger, but I love it anyway! LOL!
Maya Road has SO many wonderful things coming out! these are ADORABLE and I totally can't wait to get some! I have no idea what I will do with them, but I will find something because anything this cute WILL be used! LOL! I really am in love with the new pins and trims, too!
My Little Shoebox has jumped right into a spot amongst my favorite companies! They really didn't even have to work for it! LOL! I love this new line, Little Ladies, releasing at CHA!
My Mind's Eye has some REALLY cute stuff coming! I don't know, again, how I will use dinosaurs, but I will find a way, dagnabbit! I WILL FIND A WAY!!!!! Hee-hee.....
Pink Paislee. Not much more needs to be said on this one. Amber Road is AMAZING and if you get a Christmas card from me this year, don't be shocked and/or amazed if it happens to be made with Mistletoe and Co. Just Say'n is all.
Okay....that's enough drooling for now. Go grab something to clean off your keyboard and return to your regularly scheduled activities! Thank you to all of these fabulous companies for sharing these sneaks with us and for developing such amazing products for me to spend my lack of money on!!!!
So....tell me....what are YOU most looking forward to from the sneaks you've seen so far! We will have ALL the news soon, so let's spill now before there is more to want! HA!!!
If you are a crafter, I am sure you know how that happens from time to time...you start to stray a bit and in time you lose track of who you are as a crafter.
If you have never experienced this, it pretty much sucks, so I pray you never do! However, if you have been crafting for a long time, I'm sure it is a familiar story.
And yes...this is what happened to me. I lost my way, I got sidetracked, and I just couldn't find me in some of what I was creating. (If you would like an example look at the 'USA' card I created a couple of weeks ago...it is SO not me!)
I'm back and I am back in full creative force! I am so excite! How did I find it? Well, it actually came from a bit of competitive spirit and a little push to do something I always say I will do and then never actually do.
This is significant because they have been a steadfast regular in my stash for a really really long time! It was a perfect fit! And, in jumping into their fabulous products I found me and my style all over again! I am creating the way I was made to create!
And then there is the dimension. I do so love dimension! I popped up the white outer border and then just popped up as many of the components as I could! I wish you could see it in person! It's so dimensionally fun!
I used some way fun paper, too! Check out that fabulous alphabet paper! I had to buy it! I loved it too much to ignore it...but, as you know, I don't have kids, so I had to use it in a slightly less traditional manner. So, I used it on a page about learning with a photo from a day at the museum! (The Boston Science Museum, actually....if you've never been it is so amazingly wonderful! We go as often as we can because we love it so much!)
Thus, I may have to take a few days to, oh, I don't know....clean up the hurricane. But I'm totally okay with that because I can't be stopped now!
*We went out for breakfast this morning because we love going out for breakfast on the weekends. It was yummy.
*I walked to AC Moore today and got a great package of American Crafts cardstock (My FAVORITE!!!) with a 50% off coupon and two packages of findings on sale for a jewelry project I was working on.
*I'm working on a new layout. It's not playing very nicely, but I'm sure we will get through it. If not I will threaten to dump liquid glue all over it. Paper doesn't like that at all!
*I talked to my in-laws earlier this evening. That was nice, since I don't get to do that often. My Mother in Law sent me Safeway plastic wrap because it is the best and we don't have Safeway here.
Harry Potter was AWESOME, but that sort of goes without saying if you are a fan. So good! I love it even more now that they are older! This cast is amazing! I'm so ready for the next one, but so sad that it will all be over soon.
Terminator, on the other hand, was what one might call ridiculous. Now, let me start by mentioning that I'm not really a Terminator fan to begin with. This movie was not on my list to see, but The Hubbums sort of wanted to see it and it was part of the double feature, so we stayed and watched it. It's a dumb movie. Part of what is annoying is that they basically stole the whole 'skin job' concept from Battlestar Gallactica. Yes, I realize that the concept was probably not original to BSG, either, but I am a BSG fan and not a Terminator fan, so as far as I'm concerned BSG just wins. HA! LOL! Although, at the end of the the movie a skin job that looks a whole lot like a certain 'Governator' does appear and that sort of gave me a double take! No, it's not really him, but it's a darned good look-alike!
And I have a layout to share with you today, as well! I know...it's hard to contain your excitement with all of this movies and layouts in one post....it's Friday, I thought I'd go a bit CRAZY! HA!!!
This was SUCH a fun layout for me! I really love how it turned out! I used a Jason Mraz song lyric for the journaling. One thing I like about using song lyrics is that I have a bit more liberty, in my mind anyway, to cover some parts of it since it is familiar. I love the way the journaling serves as the backdroup for the entire layout. The tree is handcut and pieced. The background paper and the strips beneath the photos are all Sassafrass papers. LOVE THEM! I used a fun Japanese popcorn pen to create the title. You write or color with the pen and then heat it for that fun puffy look! I added bits of fabric and some fun buttons to accent the page.
I hope you are all having a great week and I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend! Are you heading off to see any movies? I still want to see Up! so bad, but at this point, I think I may be waiting for Redbox.
*Don't forget to enter the three giveaways posted Monday, Tuesday, and Wedensday of this week! I have another Etsy Feature with a giveaway coming soon! *
Julia over at the Apron Goddess is hosting a fun blog carnival that is ALL ABOUT THE APRONS! I just found out about it, but I have had these photos for a few days just WAITING for the PERFECT post opportunity and this is SO it! LOL!
So, a couple of weeks ago The Hubbums was making dinner, as he often does since I sort of suck at the whole cooking thing. Baking I can do...cooking, not so much! LOL! (Someday I will have to tell you about the 'spaghetti pie' incident! It wasn't pretty, I tell ya!) Sorry about that...on to my story. So, The Hubbums was making these really crazy yummy kabobs with steak strips, potatoes, corn and RANCH! (I know...awesome, huh?) But, the thing of it is...it was a slightly messy process. So...The Wifee had a BRILLIANT idea!
So....I ran off to grab it and brought it to him and he put it on. HA! How cute is my Hubbums? Seriously? WAY TOTALLY CUTE! He's the bestest! LOL!
LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!!! LOL! They make me smile and remind me just how much fun this fabulous man of mine is!!!
Incidentally, as he was looking down at the Japanese Dolls, he decided that Boojiboo should make him a more masculine apron. He wants a Boojiboo Samurai Apron. LOL! Do you think they would do that for him? HA!!! How stinking cute would that be???
So, there you have it! My apron post! I know...it's not a sexy picture of me in an apron, but I think this is WAY better than that! LOL!!!
Oh! And...since I totally love my Boojiboo apron, I can't help but to toss in a plug for them! If you are an apron lover, you should totally check out their shop! I love them!!!!
For more fabulous apron posts check out the linky over at The Apron Goddess!!! Join in and let me know if you do! I'd love to see yours!!!
***Don't forget to check out the giveaways from earlier this week! I have THREE open right now! It's craziness!!!!***
I KNOW! Can you believe THREE giveaways in THREE days? It's crazy! But way fun! LOL! Today I am actually excited to FINALLY be able to share with you about an really great skin care product for those of us who happen to LOVE the sun!
Several weeks ago the folks at Skin MD Natural sent me a sample of their Shielding Lotion to try out and share with all of you! The problem came, not with the product, but with the weather! If any of you live in New England you know that the sun and, really, the entire summer season, was quite reluctant to visit this area this year! But, alas, we have finally seen that big beautiful orb in the sky and it's fabulous rays have been shining down in all their glory! I LOVE IT!
And, being one who loves the sun, I tend to like to lie out in it from time to time. NOW...before you all tell me that's dangerous, let me tell you that the sun has so many benefits and with a job that keeps me in a basement 40 hours a week and a commute that keeps me in a car for 10 hours a week, this girl needs a dose of serotonin now and then!
BUT...that does not mean that I want to cause harm to my skin, which, as we all know, the sun can do quite easily if one is not careful. So, the other day, I (and I will be honest, it was slightly reluctantly) tried out the Skin MD Natural - Shielding Lotion.
1. It's not oily, or greasy, or slimy! I can't stand sunscreens because they tend to be all of the above and I HATE that feeling! Skin MD Natural is none of the above! How awesome is THAT?
2. It absorbs quickly. Have you ever put on sunscreen only to look like a snowman, or perhaps a ghost for several minutes after because the stuff sits on top of your skin? YUCK! SO NOT CUTE! Skin MD Natural absorbs as you put it on protecting your skin instantly without making you look like a sheet.
3. It leaves no residue or stickiness. Some sunscreens are almost visible because of the sheen or residue that they leave on your skin. They can even make you feel sticky! Yuck! Skin MD Natural doesn't do any of that, and I love it for that!
4. It works!!!! Yes, that is the best part! I can happily report that I have NO signs of sunburn after an afternoon at the poolside over the weekend! That is a good thing!
5. Even cooler than JUST protecting your skin from the sun, Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion. It is highly effective in protecting your skin from dryness and other environmental factors that can damage it! It blocks out irritants, making way for the skins natural moisture to do it's job! My legs generally need lotion on a DAILY basis because they get so dry. Can I tell you something awesome? Since I used the Skin MD this weekend, I have noticed an improvement right away! I have been able to apply lotion to my legs less often and my legs look great! (Even if I do say so myself! LOL!) Check out their website for TONS of incredible information! It's worth your time!
Are you interested in trying out Skin MD Natural yourself? I know you totally are! Well, here is a chance to win a bottle of Skin MD Natural - SPF 15!

Today we celebrated my Mom's birthday! And she's pretty great, so that was fun! I felt bad because we couldn't stay long, but it was one of those days where we just really enjoyed each others company, you know? Sometimes hangin' with the fam can be just plain fun! Dad grilled and there was way too much food, which is pretty much how Daddy does things! LOL! And it was all fabulous! This is the card that I made for her.
The Use Your Stash challenge this week goes up tomorrow and you should check it out! Let's just say, you may see this card again! ;-)
And here, is my beautiful Mom on her birthday! It is a gorgeous sunny day, here, too, which is her favorite kind, so that worked out well!
Oh, and just a note - keep an eye on the blog this week! I have several giveaways that are ready to go! I think I will have three or four of them to do this week!!! I'm excited!
I am me. I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I am an artist. I am a crafter. I laugh. A lot.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! I am sorry, as today is a scheduled (not by me) post and I wasn't closely paying attention to the dates when I created my assignments, so, alas, I have a Christmas card to share on Thanksgiving day! Oooopsies! LOL! BUT...it is a REALLY pretty one, so hopefully that will make up for my indiscretion! HA!
The Artist In Residence Theme for Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko this month was to work with the Glistening Line from Authentique. I LOVE this line and have had SO much fun creating with it! I combined it with some great stamps from Technique Tuesday (designed by Teri Anderson) and I just love how this turned out!
I, of course, added a bit of wink of stella over the ink to give it some shimmer. YAY! You can see a full tutorial for this cad over on the Imagine Crafts blog today! To find the products I've used, check out the links below. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
It is Wednesday and that means it is time for a new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week, the design team is using some super fun goodies from Tim Holtz/Ranger! As for the challenge, well, it's ANYTHING GOES time! Make something fabulous over the holiday weekend and link it up!
I challenged myself to go a bit outside of my usual box for this one. Since we were encouraged to use Tim Holtz products, I checked out my stash and pulled out a GORGEOUS stamp I've had around for a bit and then decided that inking was simply in order. I mean, who can be inspired by Tim Holtz and NOT lay on the ink?! LOL! I 'colored' my image with distress inks! SO FUN! Of course, his beard is shimmering with Wink of Stella clear because I pretty much am having an affair with that thing. Just sayin'. I accented his hat with a bit of enamel accents, too! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
I also added some of that fabulous film strip ribbon from Tim Holtz. I LOVE that stuff! I don't use it often, but it is just SO much fun!!! Plus... it totally comes in an little adorable tin and I love that. Good stuff, folks. Good stuff, I tell ya! You can find links to ALL of the super fun goodies I used on this card below.
And, as per usual, the absolutely fabulously generous Heidi is offering one lucky participant (chosen at random) a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Happy Happy to YOU!!!!!
And.... one more from the WCMD pile! I really hope you guys don't mind me sharing these. I just really loved them, so I was excited to show them off! YAY! Today's was in the Hello category. I had so much fun with this one! The icons are simply squares of white cardstock and I used colored pencils to draw and color each one by hand. I LOVE how they turned out! I picked my favorite apps, of course! LOL!
YAY!!! I {heart} it. This card is just so much fun! The iPhone die is a Kelly Purkey one from Simon Says Stamp and it is AWESOME!!!! (You can find it in the links below.) I made a shaker with it and tossed in some shiny sequins and the icon squares. I pretty much love that. The speech bubble stamp and die are both from The Stamps of Life.
Yup. I totally left that photo full size. Why? 'Cause I LOVE the icons and I want you to SEE them!!! LOL! I just had a lot of fun doing them. That's all, really.

There has been many talks about Nigerian artistes doing songs glorifying drugs and thereby encouraging drug abuse in the society.
Well, if the adage “you are what you sing” is anything to go by, then it is safe to conclude that these artistes singing about weed and all kinds of drugs are “Baba Oja” while their fans are “Omo Oloja“.
Starboy Records boss, Wizkid is a certified weed addict as he has been spotted many times smoking hard.
A show promoter once said, “Even Terry Gsurrendered when he saw Wizkid smoking”. It’s certain that Fela too will fear Wizkid’s smoking habit in heaven.
This one no dey even hide am. Burna Boy has been spotted several times smoking in public. For Burna Boy, weed is life and probably his only source of inspiration.
In 2013, he released a song titled “Smoke SomeWeed” which is a strong proof of his love for weed. Round the clock, every single day, Burnakeeps burning the weed.
Wehdone sir, body go tell you soon!
The question of whether or not Davido is a “Science student” first sprang up when his voice began to sound froggy. At some point the singer started showing off his smoking lifestyle on social media, afterall he is O.B.O.
He is Alaga of many things and weed is one of them. Meanwhile, the “Ponmile” crooner is not fond of showing off his love for weed but he is an OG in the game.
The YBNL boss is another big fan of Weed. He’s been attacked so many times for some his songs that seemed to be glorifying drugs. Apparently, baddo has been inspired many times by weed.
Yea! some element of “weedspiration” can be noticed on songs like “Wo“, “Science Student“, “Update” and lots more. Someone that can prepare an album of over 10 tracks in 48hours, if not “weed” what else do you think gives him that drive?
Meanwhile it is advisable that fans of these artistes not to follow their weed smoking lifestyle. Obviously, these artistes are celebrities with so much money to foot medical bills for any ailment that strikes them as a result of drug intake. Be warned!! |

Former Hollywood lighting director Thomas, also dad to Samantha, 53, and Tom Jr., 51, said he watched Meghan's wedding on TV as he recovered from heart surgery.
It comes after Thomas Markle revealed his fears Meghan was masking the stresses of royal life with a smile and that the royals were freezing him out of his daughter's life over his staged paparazzi pictures and controversial interview with Good Morning Britain. But since announcing her engagement to the British royal a year ago and their wedding in May, she has moved full-time to the United Kingdom where she is trying to forge genuine connections of her own.
But what you and I fail to see is her body language, and what it means. I don't know. It really worries me.
"All I can say now is that I think Meghan was calculated - very calculated - in the way she handled people and relationships".
"There's a high price to pay to be married to that family". Meghan's ancestor Steve Ragland was born into slavery in 1848.

A couple of years ago I was living the old Chinese curse "may you live an interesting life". I had two companies shut down on me in one year, one employed over 120 souls and had been in business for 30 years, the other was a start up so it wasn't much of a surprise. Then in October of 2004I went to work for the third company that year. I expected to be based in Oregon. The day I finished my indoc training and returned to Houston to load the truck for the move to Oregon I received a call requesting that I leave the next day for Anchorage to pick up a LearJet and ferry it to The Sudan. The company was starting a new U.N. contract in The Sudan and the Captain hired for the contract was not able to do the job. Long story somewhat short... a little over a week later after ferrying a LearJet 35A from Anchorage to Khartoum, Sudan I'm flying all over Africa on a U.N. contract.
What follows will be a journal and some of the photographs of the 4 months I spent in The Sudan and Afghanistan.
I’m an Ok guy. I’m a political junky, I work wood, cook, paint (not much lately), do photography, write about art,life, motorcycles, and wood. I fly airplanes for a living. For a guy that grew up on a West Texas dirt farm in the 40’s and 50’s, I’m OK. I don’t have much use for normal male activities like hunting and sports although I can scratch and ogle with the best of ‘em. I know which fork to use most of the time, I don’t say fuck unless it’s needed and for the most part I can get along in polite society. I’ve seen more of the world than most people have and I think I can say things about it that may be interesting.

In our biggest issue ever, the Information Architecture Institute (IAI) Newsletter features news about IAI and our partner's sites: Asis&t Bulletin, Boxes and Arrows, and the Web Indexing SIG. We have also added a list of conferences, workshops with great discounts for members and job postings at the end, so scroll down!
First of all, a hearty thanks to the new Board of the IAI for letting me write you one last time in an official capacity. Having served on the Board of Directors for four years (and president for the past two), I've been asked to highlight some of the dramatic changes the Institute has undergone since 2004.
Let me start by saying that had I not been elected to the Board in August 2004, I probably wouldn't have renewed my membership. My perception was that the Institute was an elitist club. And apparently I was elected because others saw things the same way Ð I was seen as a change agent.
Although a perception is always "true" in the eyes of the beholder, my perception back in 2004 was certainly ill-informed; our founders had set out along a difficult path Ð clearly more difficult than they had first thought. And organizational transparency, then as now, was a hot topic in the community.
Back in 2004, we had around 500 members Ð but no one was quite sure. At best, we hoped people were paying their dues. We didn't answer a lot of our e-mail because we didn't always get the mail to begin with. One thing we did know, our churn rate was dismal. In order to address these growing problems, the 2004-5 Board decided to meet weekly rather than just twice a month. We have done so ever since, which comes to just under 200 Board sessions during my tenure.
So, what have we accomplished? Plenty!
Numerous initiatives that were wishful thinking back in 2004 are now a reality. And many of our original initiatives have become full-fledged member benefits, including our job board, annual salary survey, and mentoring program. We've also helped put IA on the corporate radar. This past January, Fortune magazine published a special advertising section featuring information architecture and the Institute. Our website is better focused. A book project is in the works, too.
To help improve transparency, we now have a monthly newsletter Ð each prefaced by a letter like this from a Board member. Our Annual Report has grown to 21 pages of management discussion and financials. The past three years, we've also held live annual meetings in conjunction with the IA Summit.
Our conference, IDEA, the brainchild of past-president Peter Merholz, is now going into its third successful year. We've also awarded six progress grants to worthy research projects. We are about to announce our very own peer-reviewed journal (ETA for the first issue: March 2009). And today's members now enjoy over 45 free or discounted events each year Ð plus virtual events in Second Life.
Today, we have three paid staff members. We have over 120 active volunteers registered on Basecamp. Over 600 volunteer hours are donated to the Institute each and every week. And we answer our mail. Churn is down; we have around 2000 members in over 80 countries. That's because the IA Institute now provides more bang-for-the-buck than any other organization in the interactive arena.
Of course, our membership continues to grouse about the Institute's leadership. Thank goodness Ð perhaps this will inspire even more people to get involved. In the meantime, I'm proud of the results we've achieved these past four years. I'm honored to have served with so many talented individuals. And I'm looking forward to holding a vacation without searching for a landline each Wednesday for the weekly conference call.
The annual IA Special Issue of the ASIS&T Bulletin offers articles from some of the best presentations from this year's IA Summit. Tingting Jiang's and Sherry Koshman's "Exploratory Search in Different Information Architectures" treats exploratory search and better user experience. Gene Smith's "Tagging: Emerging Trends" describes how top-down hierarchies and bottom-up user-contributed classification are now being used together. Luke Wroblewski's "The Information Architecture Behind Good Web Forms" outlines a straightforward, effective approach for forms that actually work, Nathan Curtis' "Audiences & Artifacts" considers design documentation from a business point of view, and Leah Buley's "How to be a User Experience Team of One" is a practical blend of philosophy and applicability.
Completing usability testing in a short amount of time is a challenge that consultancies and development teams often face. In the first part of a two-part series, Paul Nuschke describes how to cut time out of the preparation leading up to a study. Part two will discuss how to run the study and analyze the findings.
Online forms can be challenging as even in their utility and necessity, we generally need to lure users to complete them. Afshan Kirmani takes the example of an online email application form and explains some fundamental principles that can help us design effective forms.

The new Future Post fence posts will be available in the New Year.
Fonterra Brands New Zealand’s (FBNZ) sustainability and environment manager, Larisa Thathiah, said the posts are a new way for farmers to improve their on-farm sustainability.
“This partnership provides farmers with an environmentally-friendly fencing option, made from the packaging of our farmers’ milk, which is pretty special,” Thathiah said.
Last year, the Co-op partnered with SKYCITY hotel to turn Anchor Light Proof milk bottles into shampoo, conditioner and body lotion bottles for guests.
Managing director of Future Post, Jerome Wenzlick, said the company is repurposing waste that could have gone to landfill and turning it in to a valuable product for consumers. |
You finally make a friend or get a hot date with someone you're attracted to-then blow it by acting aloof or not being yourself.
Have you ever had experience of deciding to take a certain action, but end up doing something quite different? Crazy! Why do we do that? Often our actions are being run by decisions we made as a kid. Decisions that went on automatic, underground, behind-the-scenes, and now, affect us unconsciously. Decisions that are now controlling our actions in present moment without us being aware of them.
Why do we get so off track after we begin with such good intention and courage? It's those pesky childhood decisions! As we grew up, we developed strategies to survive at home and in school. We wanted our parents' love and attention and a safe place to live. We wanted to belong, get asked to prom, and pass exams-while not getting beaten up by school bully or humiliated by gossip.
The survival strategies you developed as a kid worked! These behavior patterns were good, positive, beneficial, even brilliant. They succeeded in doing job they were designed to do in that situation at that time. The proof-you're reading this. These tactics kept you alive! Perhaps a bit bruised, but still breathing. Breathing, but maybe not as happy as you could be.
Have you noticed you're still using some of same behavioral strategies to get what you want as an adult that you used in your youth?
Playing naïve. Being passive-aggressive. Manipulative. Moody. Sarcastic. Confused. Spacey. Overly sexy. Other kid tactics: Pouting. Flirting. Whining. Complaining. Hiding. Running away. Giving up. Fantasizing. Acting dumb. Having accidents. Getting sick. Playing tough. Acting fool. Telling white lies. Acting like a victim. Pretending you're someone you're not.
Do these tactics work currently in your adult life to create what you really want-loving mutual relationships, lasting support from people and universe, vibrant health, boundless energy, real joy? Usually not! Since circumstances and nature of our adult challenges have changed dramatically since we were young, most kid strategies are no longer appropriate or effective. In fact, these old tactics now get in way of reaching our goals.
Because any behavior that is unconscious and automatic can't adjust to new, different and changing situations. So, these conditioned childhood survival strategies come back to haunt us when we use them as adults-like disruptive ghosts from past. As adults, we still seek to be liked, to be included, and to make grade at work. But instead of applying fresh intuitive responses that are appropriate to current challenges, we are on autopilot-unconsciously controlled by programmed decisions we made to deal with trauma and drama of our childhood.
Here are two real-life examples my friend Sulana shares from her life that demonstrate how childhood decisions affect way we create life in present:
"When I was young, my punishment du jour was being sent to my room. My room became a safe haven from rantings and irrational behavior of my alcoholic parents. To lessen scoldings and whippings, I quickly learned to stay silent about what I felt or observed. I naturally created strategies to keep myself as safe as possible: hiding my feelings, telling white lies, using sarcasm, and spending lots of time alone. And I discovered I got attention from my parents by getting ill or acting confused. So, I developed asthma and played dumb.
That huge elephant, I thought to myself for 100th time, tethered on that tiny stake. They can weigh up to 7 tons, and there was this huge elephant rocking back and forth, kept from moving more than a few feet by … an electric fence? 25 armed men? No, by a small chain on a tiny stick.
How can this happen? How has it forgotten what it’s capable of? This can happen to any mammal, including you and me, and here’s how.
Reptiles have only reptilian brain, primitive brain that keeps heart beating, regulates instincts, pumps oxygen through lungs. They’re born miniature adults and already know all they’re going to learn. So there’s no need for parents to teach. Reptiles don’t bond with their young; in fact they’ll eat them if they don’t scurry away.
But little elephant calf is well cared for. This is where limbic brain comes in, one we share with all mammals. It’s how we bond and where emotions come from.
The young calf is cared for by all females in herd. They gather ‘round to celebrate its birth, trumpeting, and spinning, with temporal secretions running down their temples. They feel bond.
Meanwhile, mother must get baby up on its feet to nurse, or it won’t survive. It already has to learn something. And in this process, too, all young females are learning about mothering. The hormones and limbic brain drive it all.
There is absolutely no previous experience required for coming to SIPS. Many of the attendees are early career (graduate students and even some undergraduates), and many of us are new to open science and are there to learn.
The only requirement for attending SIPS is an interest in improving psychological science (see our mission statement for what that means to us).
Absolutely! Everyone can choose the level of involvement that works for them. You’ll probably be asked to introduce yourself at some of the sessions, but how much more you want to contribute is up to you. Many who have attended in the past found themselves wanting to get more involved than they expected, and we wouldn’t be surprised if you realize you have a lot more to contribute than you thought, but there’s no obligation at all! We’re also pretty sure you won’t have any trouble meeting new people even if you don’t know anyone when you get there!
It’s not entirely clear to us, either! The general idea of these types of sessions (which make up most of the program) is that our attendees are shaping the program and the organization. We are a service organization, and we want our conferences to be a place for people with common interests and goals to get together and work towards those goals. Many of the projects that have come out of previous SIPS meetings were ideas that sprang up during these kinds of informal sessions, and attendees took the ideas and ran with them.
In short, we really hope you’ll consider coming to SIPS. Most importantly, if you feel like you don’t have enough experience of expertise to come to SIPS, please don’t worry! You won’t be alone, and if you’re curious about improving psychology, we’d love for you to come!

“Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word “paradox” for millions of people.”
The first thing I found after logging onto my computer this morning is that my post, Pleasant Valley Sunday, won Post of the Day at Authorblog. I read David's blog every morning of my life; it's one of those places that's just plain nice and his photography is brilliant. Go check him out.
I was raised in a close and loving family. Dysfunctional, yes, but I never had any doubt that I was loved. My dad came from a family that was loving and supportive without all the crazy-making things that I experienced after the extended family grew away from each other geographically. But then, I lived through 9 years of the 1950s, a decade that was dysfunctional at its core.
There were two factions in our immediate family tree. My mother's family was cold, unsupportive and distant, with no displays of emotion, just cold disregard. I think I met them all of three times throughout my life, so when I think of them, I see in my mind one of those Victorian family photographs in which the subjects sit straight and rigid, like they have a pole up their backsides, wearing stern, unhappy faces. When I think of my dad's family on the other hand, I see a raucous bunch of musicians sitting in the back yard at a picnic table. Everyone's laughing, drinking beer, smoking, sharing jokes and stories, and singing, with kids and dogs running around. No wonder my mom, who was affectionate by nature, spent more time at the Waller house when she was a kid, than she did at her own. No wonder she did everything in her power to "snag" my dad when she was only 15. Her own mother died from suicide brought on by suffering with TB the year before and Mom listened while her family argued about who was going get stuck with taking care of her. No one wanted her, so the Wallers took her in. They were a family that I would have wanted to get in with too, had I been in her place.
The Wallers were the kind of family that saw nothing wrong with the kids living at home even after marriage. In fact, Mom lived with my grand-dad and grandmother while dad served as a drill sergeant at Ft. Leonardwood during WWII. My brother was born in their house. After the war the entire family packed up the '48 Plymouth and moved to California, where my dad hoped to work in radio as an entertainer along the lines of Red Skelton. The family moved together in order to help him with that dream. Within a year the family was living on two acres of land in three houses they'd built for each other in an area outside of Oxnard, known as Nyeland Acres, which was a safe, semi-rural area in those days. Sadly, today it is considered little better than a suburban slum.
Our house was next door to my grandparents' house. The two houses were separated by a white picket fence with a gate. My Aunt Pat and Uncle Don were newlyweds living in a bungalow at the top of the driveway. Other family members were my Uncle Bob and Aunt Rena, also newlyweds, my Uncle Wes, who was an unofficially adopted member of the family and lived with my grandparents, and Aunt Rena's family, who were from Finland. These included my godparents Mr. and Mrs. Tillman. Soon, the next generation started being born. I came first, followed by a multitude of cousins.
And all this time we lived on the same piece of land together, spending Sundays in the yard at potluck picnics and always helping each other with the struggles of day-to-day life. There was no sense of anyone being pushed out of the nest, no hint of the modern philosophy of "You're on your own now" or, "You're 18, now get the hell out!" No one would ever be on their own because each family member was backed up by a clan of people who loved them and wanted to help them make their way in life. There was no pressure to move out, but when you did, you were encouraged and supported--you never even had to buy furniture or houseware items because everyone was all too happy to give your their old stuff. When my parents had a little trouble with money, someone always came in with a bag of groceries, "Just a few things I picked up while I was at the grocery store." When Grand-dad's Willys jeep broke down, the men spent their Saturday afternoon fixing it. When a babysitter was needed, someone volunteered. When a newlywed aunt and uncle needed help with a utility bill, the family paid it for them. There were never loans, or demands for payment in our family; it all came back around eventually because everyone worked and pulled together.
These are the ethics I grew up with, ethics that I just naturally like to live by even when we can't afford it. What's hard for me now is that, outside of my sons (and my cousins who have scattered to the four winds), there's no longer a blood clan. When our finances are as bad as they presently are, there's no one to help, to buy a bag of groceries, or even give encouragement. I feel abandoned and alone much of the time, and as I head into my "golden years" I find myself wishing it were different. But I'm blessed with having our immediate family close at hand and we pull together as best we can when times are hard. We're a family and if my dad were here to see it, he'd recognize that his own family's values are still thriving. Perhaps some things are different (Nettl and I are a same sex couple after all), but he wouldn't care. All he'd care about is that we're loving, supportive and happy as a family unit.
The values I was taught by observance are the reason I willingly put my life on hold for 13 years to take care of Dad and Mom at the end of their lives. They are the reason my sons live with us while getting on their feet, and they are the reason we took Nettl's kids from their father when he wasn't acting in their best interests. We couldn't afford any of it, but we had faith that "what goes around comes around" and that it will come back to us, eventuall.
If my dad were here, and I said to him, "Dad, I'm so sorry for the heartache and expense I caused for you and Mom", I know what his reply would be: "Oh Hon, don't worry about it. That's the point of family."
I suppose I can blame it on my musical stroll down Memory Lane last night. Today feels like a typical Sunday in Camarillo, California, where my parents lived from 1968 to 1990. It was where Joel grew up for the most part, and was considered the "family seat".
In the Sixties, we who lived in Camarillo believed (I still do, by the way) that the Monkees' song, "Pleasant Valley Sunday" was written about our little suburb just north of the L.A. Basin. After all, the valley that leads the eight miles from town to the beach is called Pleasant Valley, and the 10-mile thoroughfare from Camarillo to Port Hueneme is Pleasant Valley Road. What would you think if you lived there?...
Despite some of the crap that went on in my early life, I was raised with some great and diverse music. Because my dad was a jazz drummer, I was exposed to some of the best music of the era, and our home was always full of interesting, talented people. When Dad died, he left me all of his and Mom's record albums of the 30s, 40s, 50s and early 60s. There were thousands of them! Unfortunately, they all were lost in "The Big Dump of 2001", a collection that also counted my own records of the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's not a story I wish to go into, because it always makes me physically ill. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the album covers that are the "musical wallpaper of my life". (Click to embigiate the images.)
This is one of the albums that I loved especially as an adult. I may have to put it on my Wishlist. I have to say here that I am and have always been madly in love with Sammy Davis, Jr., and I miss him terribly. You want inspiration? Read Sammy's autobiography, Yes I Can. Entertainers today are wussies.
This was my mom's album. I didn't really like it, but I heard a lot of it when she played it on our hi-fi while cleaning house.
Dad was madly in love with Doris Day. Judging from this cover, I can't say I blame him. She had a great voice, too.
Ah, Ella. Even as a child I loved when my dad put on this one. And Gershwin: too lowbrow for the highbrows and too highbrow for the lowbrows. Ella sang him perfectly. Pure class.
When I was a kid I thought the title song was fun, but it wasn't something I liked listening to. I think my grandmother gave this to Dad as a Christmas gift. He never liked it either.
Louis Armstrong was so present in my family that he might as well have been an uncle. We all loved him and my parents owned tons of his records, both 78s and 33s. His teaming up with the Duke was almost too good to be true.
I discovered Leadbelly on my own one afternoon when I opened a heavy, metal, 78 rpm record storage can. Also inside were 78 rpm picture records that I suspect would be worth a lot of money today. Aw man... why did I have to go there...
This was a comedy album that was wildly popular during the "Camelot" years in Washington D.C. My uncle, especially, loved this album and played it all the time. Come to think of it, my uncle kind of looked like JFK.
Nellie Lutcher is not a name that many people know or remember, but I do. Another album that I played for well over 30 years. What a soulful, profound voice and musical expression.
I remember this album mostly because I thought the cover was funny. My dad liked Louis Prima and my mom liked Keely Smith. I guess this was one of those pairings that made it easy for them to agree on music. I still can't look at this cover without laughing.
I have to admit that I preferred Keely. So much so that I now have this one on CD, as well as another of her LPs.
I never really liked Tommy Dorsey (I preferred Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman), but I did like this cover.
And of course, Nat King Cole. He was a staple in our home. Nettl and I own a number of his albums on CD.
Oh my God, this album was my absolute favorite from the age of five. I used to use the cover as a solid base beneath my coloring books and I thought the McGuire Sisters were the most beautiful women in the world. I can't tell you how many times I tried to draw this cover. Those faces, those necks, those blue satin gowns trimmed with mink... bigoldsigh! But best of all was their tight three-part harmonies. I remember my favorite song on this album was "Delilah Jones". I had no idea what it was about, but I loved it. Yeah, this has definitely made it to my Wishlist. Christmas is coming... Well, crap. Now I have to choose between Sammy Davis Jr. and a manage-a-quatre. Life can be so cruel...
happens when you sleep at night, and I rely on my friends in Blogsville to tell me what that was as I make my morning rounds. Here's today's bits of news:
Blog Queen informs me that Paul Newman died last night. He was born the same year as my mom, but I just never thought of him as being that old. He was always young, you know?
RW won an award and I didn't. Sure, he said that anyone can have the award if they want it, but it's not as satisfying that way. I want to know that someone loves my blog, damn it. But seriously, congrats, RW!
B.E. Earl will be making a "big pot of red" for his entire family this weekend. Wish I was there. I'll bet there will be a "big bunch of beer" as well.
The brain is a a puzzling, fascinating thing. Basically, it's a filing system, or so they tell us. I woke up just before eight this morning having not gotten to bed until 4:30, went downstairs and made the coffee and then came back upstairs. I chased the cat out of the chair, then sat down and opened my laptop. I left a mini-blog and then realized that there was no way I was going to be able to stay awake. So I did something I never do. I went back to bed...
Commercials. There's a relatively new one by American Express that really chaps my hide. Here's the scenario:
An American man and woman, apparently partners in a small business, are treating three Germans to a business lunch. A deal is struck and the American man offers to pay for lunch, pulling out his credit card, a card with a superhero of some sort on it. The Germans immediately switch from English to their own language and begin making fun of the man's card, calling it a "Kindergarten card".
"Does anyone else find this awkward?" the German woman asks and one of her team says what amounts to, "Let's get out of here." After they leave, the American woman, who apparently understands German, pulls out her more adult American Express Gold card and says, "Let me get this."
This commercial offended me the first time I saw it. It's insulting to both Americans and Germans, and here's why. First, it implies that American individuality and small business is immature, naive and unprofessional, and second, that Germans are rude, snobby and of "group mind". The small business owner probably couldn't afford to treat these people to a power lunch, but he does and for that they should be a little more understanding. Who cares what picture is on a credit card? It's the credit that matters. His card isn't up to your standards? It was when you were ordering that steak and lobster, Arschleck!
What's really under attack here is individuality. This commercial perfectly demonstrates how far down the yuppie mentality of the 80s has taken us in the past two decades. God forbid we exhibit any signs of not promoting the group mind, because, by not conforming, we say that we are free-thinkers. It has been proven throughout history that when a fascist regime is threatening to take over, the first people to be discredited (and often eliminated) are the free-thinkers. Anything that doesn't support the group mind must be done away with: writers, artists, musicians, and anyone who dares to express individuality or live according to their own truth.
Besides, all it says anyway is that people are spending money they don't have, which is one of the reasons this country is in so much trouble in the first place. Our family might be broke right now, but at least we don't have credit card bills -- we cut ours up six years ago, one of the best decisions we ever made. I can't tell you how many people have actually attacked us verbally for our stance on credit cards. People are threatened by this and I have a hard time understanding why. But this post has gone off-topic.
Wasn't there a commercial not too long ago in which Jerry Seinfeld was promoting an American Express Superman card? American Express needs to seriously rethink the unspoken message of their latest commercial and American small business owners, as well as Germans, should think about how they are being profiled. In a nut shell American Express is saying to American small business owners:
"If you don't have one of our Gold Cards, they're going to laugh at you. The big kids won't want to play with you."
I was born in 1951. I know. Most of you weren't even a twinkle at that point so I thought I'd give you a glimpse into life in America on the day I was born...
I am happy. A little over a week ago I wrote a friendly, neighborly letter to the small business across the way with the new AC turbine, explaining about the noise (see this entry). In the letter I said that if they would be kind enough to adjust the thermostat for weekends and nights, not only would we be able to enjoy our patio and front porch, and our electric bill would go down, theirs would go down too and they would conserve energy. This afternoon there was a crew of workmen out working on the unit and tonight it's QUIET.
I dreamed last night that there was a hit man after me. I knew that he was going to get me, it was just a matter time and there was no escape. Of course, I spent most of the dream devising ways to give him the slip, but at last I realized that I was cornered. I found myself in inside a cottage-style house and I realized that there were all kinds of people involved in the plot to take my life, people I didn't suspect and people I didn't even know...
No, not the Puccini opera. Notice there's no "è" in there. Years ago, our circle of friends acquired the name La Boheme because we were a bunch of musicians, writers, painters, and dreamers. I say acquired because there are two differing stories of how we got the name. Some say one of us came up with it whilst others say it was bestowed upon us. However it happened, we met in the mid-1980s and are still together. Some of us, anyway. Many have come in and out of the group, and some have passed, but a certain core group always remains. Namely, Ville and myself...
Although Wednesday's laptop crash wiped out my entire C drive, everything—Windows and and the programs I use—have been reinstalled and the machine is working better than ever. I mean better than ever. My wireless connection is always excellent; no more of that tiresome fluctuating between low and good, and everything loads and runs faster. I won't list everything because you all know the routine from your own experiences. Unfortunately, I lost a lot. The worst is that I lost all of my Outlook Express email, so I'm just not going to use it anymore. I created a Gmail account for my business correspondence and any mail that Alla Breve gets on my domain is forwarded to the new one. I also lost all of the business invoicing and other important docs for the past four or five months, as well as all my graphics, codes, scripts and templates.
But the really good news is that at some point I'd backed up all my files onto both the desktop and to disk. I don't remember doing that, but I'm glad I did. So considering that I'd just transferred my screenplay to a private blog (there IS a God!), I made out alright.
My birthday is on Wednesday, and instead of asking for something frivolous, I've asked for a thumb drive. Crash me once, meh, it happens. Crash me twice, I'm a dumbass.
I wonder about words in our English language. Actually, I love words, how they evolve and where they come from. For instance, earlier in the week I was wondering where the word "gig" comes from, and how did it start being used as another name for a musical engagement...
If you live in Stillwater, which you probably don't, you get used to seeing Joe cups. They're everywhere. Whenever you go to Eskimo Joe's, or one of Stan Clark's other local restaurants, you invariably come home with one of these.
That's one of the cool things about living here. Free refills on your soft drinks. Before you leave one of these eateries you're always asked if you want a refill for the road. Consequently, I think one would be hard pressed to find a kitchen cupboard in this town that doesn't have at least one Joe cup in it...
If the famous Captain Morgan hadn't whittled me gut so early in me life I'd tip a few with ye. Instead, I request that ye pass me that flagon of ale.
You know, I think I'm finally entering that phase of life where we seem to quit allowing the slings and arrows to knock us off-balance. Let's face it, after you've spent more than a century on this planet you kind of learn that life is hard enough and there's not much out there that's worth rocking the boat over once you've found a lagoon of calm.
The computer thing has me concerned and frustrated, but I'm relatively calm about it. It will either be restored or it won't. Either way, it's just a computer. They're only files. It's not the death of a loved one, or something that will put me or someone I care about in the ICU...
When you wake up exhausted in mind, body, and spirit, it's time to proclaim Official Pajama Day and steal some down time.
I refuse to get dressed, work on my screenplay, or even make the bed. In fact, it's looking really inviting about now.
I really don't know how it can get any noisier around here. Remember two weeks ago when I told you about the AC monster they installed across the way? Well, it hasn't turned off once, even when the temp at night has gone down to 65°. On and on it roars, right outside the section of our house where all the windows are located, namely, the bedrooms and the veranda. Forget my carefree hammock-blogging afternoons amid the plants and flowers and birds. It's too damned noisy out there...
An interesting thing happens when I'm working on a new piece of fiction. I say interesting because I'm afraid that if I complain, it will stop happening. I'm that terrified of my muse, you see.
Anyway, at a certain point my characters turn into real people. I know them, and although they have a knack for surprising me from time-to-time, they're fairly predictable. This is especially true for the characters in my screenplay; they surprise me all the time...
I said I wouldn't stay up so late tonight, but I got working on my screenplay and, as it always happens, I lost track of the time. So off I go to bed.
Remember when you could drink soft drinks all day and evening and still go to sleep at a decent hour? I rarely buy sodas, but every once in a while I crave Pepsi, so on Monday night I got a 12-pack and put them in the fridge. I had one on Tuesday afternoon and one later that evening after dinner. The result? I didn't fall asleep until 9:30 Wednesday morning! This is really weird because I can drink coffee all day and it doesn't have this effect on me.
Of course, we can never catch up on a sleep debt, and yesterday I was worth absolutely nothing and felt like crap. And although I went to bed at 11:30 last night, I kept waking up until, at 2:00 am, I took a Tylenol PM. I woke up this morning at 8:30 feeling pretty good. And here it is 10:30 and I'm already showered and dressed, the bed is made and I'm ready to write.
No more Pepsi after 3:00 for me, and definitely no more than one in the space of a day. Middle age sucks sometimes.
Willow tagged me with a meme that I think I did several years ago, but since I'm a changeable sort, I'm sure that my answers will be different than they were back then. Besides, I think that one was one of the Lost Posts.
After you read this -- and even if you don't -- go pay a visit to her very enjoyable blog, Life at Willow Manner. Now I'm going to have to find something to tag her with...
The premise of this one is fairly simple: I have to list "Six Unspectacular Quirks" about myself, then tag six people. But, as I know some of you hate to be tagged, I'll only pick on people I'm fairly sure would like to play. :^P
I'm rude, I guess (or just Austrian), but I just love burps and farts. I love when I do them and I love it even better when other people do them. I always howl with laughter, regardless of how many times they happen. I must confess, however, that I'm better at burping, especially when I'm drinking beer or after a big German meal -- enjoying beer with a German meal is the best!
It's a carry-over from my childhood, I know, but one of my favorite late-night comfort foods is graham crackers and milk. I like to dunk the crackers in the milk until they're soft, but still have a little snap! to them.
I don't think it's dyslexia because that's a reading disorder, but it must be related to it. I inadvertently transpose letters and words. Like one time I told my dad that he needed to get his "hookers speaked up" in his car, and then there was the cat's "Dood Fish". Half the time I don't even realize that I've done it until people start laughing.
I love, love, love weird sleep pants or loungers. I used to have some green ones with penguins on them (man, I miss my penguin pants!), and I currently have a pair with the Three Stooges on them and another pair with rubber duckies on them. The next ones I want to get are covered with Corona logos.
Careers I could have really enjoyed are architecture or physics. The latter doesn't really surprise me because my aunt was the first woman physics professor at UCLA back in the 40s and 50s. Actually, neither surprises me because they're really made of the same laws and concepts as music composition.
I'm somewhat obsessive-compulsive, and when I get out of the shower I can't dry myself off until I close the shower curtain. I try, but I can't.
Well, the LHC Mads in Geneva's Deep 13 have shot two beams around the circle and aparently the earth has not been destroyed—yet. There are two possibilities here, though. Either it has not, or else it has and we just don't know it, in which case this is the afterlife and it isn't all that different. Go check this website to find out if the world has ended.
Somewhere in the Lost Entries, there was my initial "WTF?" post. It was a good one, too. There's another, newer post, in which I explain who this little guy is, and why he's kind of a mascot on this blog...
I can't believe I missed my 1000th post. I kept telling myself that it was coming up, but I guess I'm not a good judge of things like that. Why, oh why did this post have to be #1000!? Actually, I hit this milestone sometime last year because in my move from Wordpress I lost hundreds of posts. Anyway, this is post #1014.
Yesterday was one of those days. I caused damage to myself at least four times. First, I tripped going down the stairs, carrying some dishes to the kitchen. Fortunately, I didn't actually fall, but it still scared me. Next, I pinched my left hand ring fingertip in the closet door, causing a huge bruise that still hurts. Later, while Joel was letting me out in front of the store (it was pouring rain and I didn't want to walk from the parking lot), my foot slipped in my Croc and I slammed the car door into my leg, breaking the skin and creating a huge bump and bruise, a "goose egg" as people say. Then, in the store, I scraped a knuckle in the shopping cart, making it bleed.
Why do we have days like that? I like to say that I'm not entirely "in my body". I know I can be absent-minded and I sometimes run into walls, literally, but yesterday was ridiculous and I have all the bumps and bruises to prove it!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly | I have but one voice.
I read this quote by a respected leader I know, and I felt myself feel tension in my thoughts towards ideas like this.
You see, over the past year I’ve been learning what it means to feel pain, to acknowledge hurt, to understand disappointment, and to allow myself to sit in those moments WITHOUT trying to see the positive side.
I grew up believing and being taught to always see the positive, and not to dwell on the negative. That we must never be sad or angry or frustrated or discouraged for too long, because that would somehow be a reflection of a lack of faith. And while seeing the positive in all situations that doesn’t necessarily sound like a bad thing, let me share with you how that impacted me as I developed into an adult.
As I got older, I found myself unable to relate with people when they were hurt or angry or upset or frustrated, because I had never allowed myself to feel those things. On top of not being able to relate, I found myself feeling impatient when someone couldn’t “pull themselves up” or “see the positive”. I would spend my energy trying to convince them that everything happens for a reason and that God had plan.
Here’s the problem. It’s not very comforting when you’re in the midst of deep hurt or anger and someone tries to put a God-spin on it… when you’re feeling very REAL, VALID emotions, and someone seems to not care and instead tries to force you into a happy place. Sometimes as Christians we can be pretty lousy friends. We’ve trained ourselves to rebuke, to challenge, to resist, to persist…. but what happened to sitting quietly next to someone in pain and allowing ourselves to enter into that with them? What happened to empathy, compassion, mercy, love, kindness, gentleness, patience…? These were things that were sadly lacking in my interactions with people who were hurting.
Thankfully, God started opening my eyes to these things, and began showing me how to change the ways I interacted with those who were hurting. Instead of trying to find the solution, I let them cry, rage, vent, sit in silence, question…. All the things we may need to do in order to release what we are feeling.
However, there remained a missing link in my own story. While my response to those in pain changed significantly, internally I felt blocked off from them because I was having a difficult time relating to the feelings they were experiencing. I knew I had things in my life that should have made my angry and sad and hurt and traumatized… But I had never felt the emotion, and started to realize that wasn’t healthy. For about 27 years of my life I didn’t allow myself to feel the weight of those difficult emotions. I had it so engrained in my mind since childhood that those not-so-lovely emotions were bad, and therefore best kept hidden inside to never be seen by others. I didn’t know what it looked like to express those emotions and not feel guilty about it.
Once again, God gently showed me the ways in which ignoring my own hurt was actually unhealthy. For being someone who aims to be genuine and authentic, there was a big, gaping hole when it came to my pain. I felt guilty to say I was upset, I felt ashamed to admit I’ve had traumatic experiences in my past, and I felt fear of what people would think if they knew that alongside the deep, tremendous joy I have in Christ, there also lies mourning and sorrow for the difficult roads I’ve walked.
One of the ways God revealed this missing link in my life was through loneliness. I started feeling like I wasn’t fully known…. that my friends were only my friends based off of the good things about me, and that if they truly knew the areas I was broken that they wouldn’t see me the same way. But I came to a point where I realized that I’d rather be fully me and know that I am being the most real, authentic version of myself I can be, than continue feeling like I am not fully known.
So I began letting people in. I started introducing more difficult truth into my vocabulary. I began taking steps towards healing and freedom through counseling.
For the first time, I’ve heard friends use words like “brave” and “courageous” and “real” and “strong” and “beautiful” and I’ve believed them. You know why I’ve believed them? I believe them because they have seen me cry. Not cute, sniffly teardrops…. but full on snot-filled uncontrollable sobs that contain so much hurt and doubt and fear and shame and pain that I KNOW they have seen the true me. Boy have they seen the true me. They’ve allowed me to recount painful memories. They’ve allowed me to express intense emotions. They’ve allowed me to question. They’ve been silent when I needed a moment to process, spoken gently when I needed care, and encouraged boldly when I needed truth.
Now these moments aren’t shared with everyone. I’ve chosen who I’ve allowed myself to enter into these difficult emotions with, and in the right timing… but in those moments it’s been transformational. My eyes have been opened and as tears have fallen, a weight has been lifted and new life has been given.
As I go back to this phrase, I come to this conclusion: As we train our minds to see the good, let’s also train our minds to acknowledge the bad. We live in a fallen world, where sin and destruction are present. They affect our lives in very real ways, and ignoring them is an unhealthy way to react.
However, we are not without hope! This process of me revisiting the hurt in my life has been anything but hopeless. In fact, the further I’ve leaned in and wrestled with these things, the more I’ve seen God at work. I’ve experienced his love in entirely new depths. I’ve understood his mercy in completely new ways. I’ve relied on his gentle strength like never before. I’ve seen my vulnerability breed authenticity in relationships. I’ve felt the weight of my brokeness, but the beauty of his redemption.
We will never truly see the good if we can’t acknowledge the bad.
You see, the more I understand pain and brokenness, the more I see God. Somehow, in the midst of this chaos of life, God has shattered every human understanding of cause and effect, and redefined the good that can come from the bad. It shouldn’t make sense that as I acknowledge my hurt, I feel more joy… and yet that is exactly what God is doing in me!
So to all of this I say: embrace who you are. The ugly, messy, sinful parts, along with the beautiful, redeemed, gifted parts. Seek to be authentic, even in pain, and train your mind to know the truth of who God is and his heart to see redemption in His people. That is the good we can see in every situation, my friends.
And now I leave you with this video clip of the movie/song I named this blog post after: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Random fun fact: I used to (ok, sometimes I still do) play a version of this song transcribed for piano and it was one of my favorites to play on piano. |

To pay a Bitcoin invoice, you will need a working Bitcoin wallet and some bitcoins to make the purchase. See the instructions for setting up a Bitcoin wallet on Electrum, as well as our guide on buying bitcoins with your Credit or Debit Card.
There are four ways to get the invoice Bitcoin address into your wallet: (1) manually select and copy the Bitcoin address from the CoinGate invoice to your wallet; (2) click the copy button, and paste the invoice Bitcoin address in your wallet; (3) click Pay with Bitcoin on the invoice, which will open up Electrum with the correct invoice Bitcoin address and payment value already inserted in the required fields; (4) scan the QR code with your mobile Bitcoin wallet or with Electrum.
In Electrum and other wallets, you can also include a Description, which will later remind you what you paid for.
If you are making a small purchase, the transaction will be confirmed immediately. Meanwhile, if the transaction is bigger, you may have to wait for it to be confirmed by the Bitcoin network. See the screenshots below.
Seeing either of the two windows below means that you do not need to do anything else – your Bitcoin invoice is paid! Great job – the merchant is notified and will soon process your order.
If you want to pay the Bitcoin invoice value using two or more different wallets or different Transaction IDs, rest assured – this is possible, and please see the part on underpaid orders in the following section.
Three things, really. One, you may accidentally (or purposefully) pay too little. Two, your Bitcoin invoice might expire before or after you make a transaction. Three, you can pay too much. Let us go over all of these scenarios, and what you should do if you are facing any problems.
Most likely, this is the case if you make a transaction, yet the Bitcoin invoice does not switch into confirming/paid state. In the updated invoice (see below on the left) you will see the amount of bitcoins that you sent, as well as the amount that is still left to pay (in the blue box). You should make another transaction to cover the underpaid amount before the invoice expires.
On the other hand, if the invoice expires, you will be displayed a refund form (see the next section on what to do with an expired invoice).
Nevertheless, you should not worry, because your bitcoins will reach us at some time. What you should do is monitor the CoinGate invoice status every once in a while, because the invoice form will update immediately when the transaction is broadcast to the Bitcoin network.
(2) The invoice will remain expired, but you will see your Transaction ID on the Bitcoin invoice. This means that your seller may still accept your late payment, so hold on for a little while, and contact your seller if you have not already.
That is it! These are all of the scenarios that you may face when paying our invoice with Bitcoins. We recommend sticking to Electrum to minimize the risk of expired invoices and underpayments. Refer to our guide here for setting up Electrum. And if you need to buy some bitcoins quickly, use our credit card option for purchases between USD 50 – 5,000 (click here to read our step by step guide on paying with credit / debit cards).
We hope that reading this guide has helped you understand how to pay for a CoinGate invoice with Bitcoin. If it was your first time making a transaction and you found it difficult and tiring – we assure you that the second time will be much much easier.

After years of turbulence, the F-35 together with other developments such as UAV’s will redefine the application of Air Power for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members. The program has progressed to such an extent that the fielding forces are preparing for operational capability. In June 2013, the United States Marine Corps and Air Force declared their intention to field early Initial Operational Capability with Block 2B software in 2015 and 2016 respectively. In support of the decision, General Amos, The Commandant of The Marine Corps, stated that it “will provide an airplane that will deliver more weapons, be more capable, be stealthier, have more capabilities, more information assurance, more information dominance, than anything we’re flying today in the United States Marine Corps”.
To understand the F-35 as it exists today, it’s valuable to examine the origins of the program. In the early 1990’s, the United States Department of Defense launched a tri-service combat aircraft recapitalisation program called the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The intent of the program was to leverage recent major investments by the U.S. in technology, introduce true service interoperability and achieve economies of commonality and scale as legacy combat aircraft fleets were to be replaced. The ongoing U.S. National Security strategy to require coalition based operations had also revealed significant capability gaps between the equipment utilised by U.S. and allied air forces.
Component Commanders were impacted by these shortfalls and a decision was made to allow participation by selected allied nations in the development and procurement of the JSF. Seven additional NATO countries (U.K., Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Turkey) and key NATO partner Australia were asked by the U.S. to join the program following the contract award in October of 2001. These relationships were codified in formal bi-lateral Government to Government agreements for the initial stage.
The joint capability and industrial tenets established by the F-35 Program are a precursor to the Smart Defence Initiative embraced by the Alliance in 2012. From their public position on the topic, NATO has stated that “… the other Allies must reduce the gap with the U.S. by equipping themselves with capabilities that are deemed to be critical, deployable and sustainable, and must demonstrate political determination to achieve that goal. There must be equitable sharing of the defence burden. Smart defence is NATO’s response to this.” The world financial crisis since 2008 serves to reinforce the value, efficiency, and priority of the F-35 Program in executing this NATO initiative to confront crisis management in the immediate future.
Go deep into a double digit Surface to Air Missile (SAM) threat environment to destroy moving and mobile targets through the weather while outnumbered by advanced fighters equipped with advanced air-to-air weapons. Perform the mission from any base and at a lower cost than legacy programs.
To achieve these goals, the F-35 program pursued a more highly integrated NATO industrial base to maximise the capabilities of the Alliance. The international design and manufacturing aspects of the program, however, diverge from traditional offset mentalities, which are in comparison inefficient, costly, and historically limited to only those airplanes being purchased by that specific nation. The F-35 program introduced a new economic model based on ‘competitive best value’ where industrial concerns in each of the partner countries were allowed to compete and win work on F-35. As long as competitive cost and quality standards are maintained, the industries of the partner nations are allowed to supply parts for each aircraft produced. Significant outreach work was done by the US industry team supported by the various US agencies to help align the world class capabilities of the NATO industrial base with JSF opportunities. All eight partner countries produced parts flown on the first test airplane and continue to produce components today.
With the test fleet now surpassing 5,000 total flights, confidence in the maturity of the program is intensifying as the typical technical problems faced by a developmental program of this size have been resolved as they have arisen. While risk remains in the program, it is expected that emerging issues will continue to be solved as their predecessors were.
Significant numbers of aircraft have been produced as well. To date, 235 tails have either been delivered or are on order. The first partner country, the United Kingdom, is operating three training jets at Eglin Air Base. The second partner country, the Netherlands, has two aircraft flying that will be used for Operational Test & Evaluation. The common training facilities, established first at Eglin AFB and coming online at Luke AFB in 2013, embody the principles of NATO’s Connected Forces Initiative, providing “overarching collective training so that Allies can come together and be ready for any eventuality” and “better use of technology [as] a key means to facilitate the ability of Allied and partner forces to work together”. By 2018, 416 F-35s are projected to be delivered to NATO countries with an estimated 49 aircraft operating in Europe.
Eight of the nine F-35 partner nations are members of NATO and the aircraft will be the backbone of future air operations. The F-35 will provide capabilities throughout NATO that are currently uniquely held by the U.S. In Operations Allied Force, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Odyssey Dawn, the denied access missions were conducted by the U.S. stealth platforms F-117 and B-2. With the F-35, the ability to penetrate advanced enemy Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) will be extended to this core function of NATO.
The coalition force has additionally relied on the EA-18G Growlers of the United States Navy to provide Electronic Attack (EA) against the SAM systems. With the F-35, high gain EA missions can be executed by multiple nations with their indigenous capability. The possession of advanced stealth and EA by a large number of NATO countries will significantly increase the effectiveness of a coalition across a wide range of crisis management operations.
Unlike its 5th generation brethren, the F-22, the F-35 was designed from the outset to bring these capabilities while also being interoperable across a coalition of air power. Two networks are core to this operability: the Link-16 and the new Multi-Function Advanced Datalink (MADL). These data links will allow the F-35 to communicate with all current and future NATO assets. The Link-16 connection is currently utilised by the existing platforms fielded by NATO and will allow F-35 to integrate seamlessly into the coalition force structure. MADL will complement the current networks with NATO’s first high bandwidth, low probability of detect and intercept connection. The fundamental design features of MADL will enable all NATO F-35s in a deployed coalition to communicate within an Anti-Access / Area Denial (A2AD) environment.
NATO operations in a permissive environment such as Afghanistan will see benefits as well from the addition of the F-35. With its impressive sensor suite, net centric design, and ability to carry more than 18,000 lbs of payload when loaded externally, the F-35 can be thought of as a 5th generation Strike Eagle: the advanced avionics of an F-22 combined with the range payload that nearly matches that of an F-15E. This allows the F-35 to shape a crisis throughout the conflict, beginning with the removal of the enemy IADS and continuing until the final day of sorties.
Without the context of the current threat environment, it can be difficult to understand the necessity of the capabilities of the F-35. Reviewing Operation Unified Protector may be the best way to understand how the F-35 will change the way NATO confronts future challenges. In support of the rebels against Gaddafi’s regime, NATO established a no-fly zone over the contested region and dramatically shifted the outcome of the nation. With only the application of airpower, NATO was able to manage the crisis without deploying large numbers of ground forces.
This relatively limited conflict required a force of greater than 160 tactical aircraft from thirteen coalition countries. The threat posed by the Libyan forces was predominantly equipment procured prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall: legacy SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, and SA-6 single digit SAM systems complimented by aging Mirage F1s, Mig-21s, and MiG-23s. The minimal threat posed by the regime in Libya will likely be encountered by NATO forces significantly less often in the future and replaced with advanced systems.
In both quantity and quality, highly advanced eastern threat systems have proliferated significantly in the world market. Today’s SAM systems are built on digital, networked sensors that can track hundreds of targets simultaneously. The engagement zone has been extended to distances exceeding 125 miles while attacking multiple targets simultaneously. Navalised versions of these same SAMs further extend the threat zone beyond the coast.
In the world fighter market, advanced 4th generation fighters are the minimal capability pursued by militaries and have become a commodity. Fighters containing electronically scanned radars, long range active missiles, infrared search and track sensors, and sophisticated jamming systems are now commonplace throughout the world. The resulting effectiveness of these threat fighters places NATO forces at parity.
The combination of advanced surface and air threats pose a real challenge to the ability of NATO’s forces to provide sufficient conventional deterrence. The threat environment will continue to become more complex and advanced as Russia and China prepare to export multiple 5th Generation platforms products on the world market. When stealth air frames become the standard capability of the air forces of the world, the threat posed by foreign militaries will shift drastically upward.
Syria is a prime example of what NATO forces might face in the future. Political concerns aside, the defence capability of the established Syrian government dwarfs that of Libya in both quantity and quality. The Syrian airforce has 2.5 times the number of fighters that were seen in Libya, among them advanced MiG-29 fighters. These fighters have to defend a country that is 1 / 10th the size of Libya. In addition, other parties may decide to support Syria with additional aircraft to further strengthen their air force.
The Syrian fighters are supplemented by a robust, dense SAM network. Compared to Libya, the Syrian IADS has more than 4 times the number of missile launchers and a missile density almost fifty times greater than the previous operation. Recent purchases of tactical double digit SAMs have reinforced their defensive posture. The potential transfer of strategic double digit SAMs would further fortify this posture.
The aggregation of the number of threat systems and their innate quality complicates the ability of any coalition of (NATO) forces to establish a no-fly zone and deter the regime. It would likely require double the number of assets deployed against Libya with no guarantee of success. This facet of the conflict has reduced the effectiveness of the political pressures. As advanced threat systems proliferate, conflicts in a high threat environment will likely become the rule instead of the exception.
The F-35 is not just set to reinvent airpower for NATO, it’s positioned to have a strong presence in the force for at least the next thirty years. Designed with power and cooling capacity that far exceeds the aircraft that it will be replacing, the F-35 will continue to provide significant opportunities for capability growth throughout its life cycle. This capacity combined with the open architecture of the F-35 will enable rapid integration of future avionics and increases in computing power. Simultaneously, the lethality of the F-35 will be improved. An existing effort to increase the carriage of AIM-120s to six in the internal bay will allow the F-35 to further extend its dominance in air-air engagements. Longer term, the development of 5th generation weapons such as Cuda will create an unmatched combination of air vehicle and air-air missile. Originally unveiled at the Air Force Technology Expo in 2012, the medium range hit-to-kill missile will expand the beyond visual range engagement zone while more than doubling the internal capacity of the F-35. It is expected that kinematic weapons of today will give way to the directed energy (DE) weapons of tomorrow, first as a defensive mechanism before potentially growing into an offensive weapon. Again, the power and cooling capacity of the F-35 could enable this transition.
To enable NATO’s essential purpose of safeguarding freedom, the members of the Alliance need to maintain a credible conventional deterrence capability. Currently, this capability is eroding due to the proliferation of advanced threats and is under increased pressure from the financial crisis. The procurement of F-35 will help to safeguard this aspect for NATO and ensure the viability of diplomatic efforts as the first measure to prevent future conflicts. Once established as the backbone of NATO airpower, the growth capabilities of the F-35 will ensure that this capability will not erode for years to come. |
The most exciting talent to emerge this year, singer, song-writer and producer Kali Uchis releases a new video for 'Loner', taken from her critically adulated mixtape 'Por Vida'. Directed by both herself and Andy Hines, this dreamy, seductive video stays true to its title, featuring Kali alone with only a dazzling montage of pink neon lights as company. Inspired by "mermaids, call-girls, the actress Mia Farrow, the film Scarface, and the director Quentin Tarantino", it serves as both the perfect companion to the sweetly soul-drenched tone of the song and an announcement of one of 2016's most exciting stars.

Prior to the historic vote approving a new independence referendum in the Scottish Parliament yesterday (Tuesday 28 March) I, like many others, wrote to the MSPs who purport to represent me urging them to respect the Scottish Government’s mandate; honour the democratic will of the Scottish electorate; and reject their parties’ calls to deny Scotland’s democratic right of self-determination. The responses I received from representatives of the British parties at Holyrood were unsurprising, but no less deplorable for being only what I expected.
Common to the feeble rationalisations of their craven conduct was the customary nonsense about there having been an undertaking that the first independence referendum was a ‘once in a generation/lifetime’ event. I say nonsense, not only because there never was any such undertaking, but because there could be no such undertaking. It not only didn’t happen, it couldn’t happen. The incessant whining about this mythical ‘promise’ betrays a fundamental failure to comprehend the nature of the democratic right of self determination. A right which is vested entirely in the people of Scotland. A right which cannot be limited, constrained or withdrawn by any politician, political party or elected administration.
Comments were made by leading figures in the SNP to the effect that the referendum was a special opportunity for the people of Scotland. In describing how special this opportunity was, the words ‘once in a lifetime’ or similar were used. At no time was it suggested that this was a unique or unrepeatable event. It was simply a case of politicians deploying a common figure of speech in order to emphasis the importance of the vote.
And even if there had been an assurance from Alex Salmond or Nicola Sturgeon that the referendum was to be a one-off, that assurance would have been meaningless. Because neither they nor anyone else has the authority in relation to an inalienable right. Even as Scotland’s democratically elected leaders, neither was entitled to place any conditions or constraints on Scotland’s right of self-determination. How much less right, therefore, does the unelected British Prime Minister have to forbid the exercise of Scotland’s right of self-determination?
Similarly, nobody voted in the first referendum to relinquish their right of self-determination. The argument that the people of Scotland made a choice and must abide by it for all time and in all circumstances displays an ignorance of democracy even more profound than the failure to grasp the concept of self-determination. The whole point of an inalienable right is that it can no more be forfeited than it can be removed. Nobody can lawfully renounce the right of self-determination any more than than they can lawfully vote themselves into a condition of slavery.
Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations explicitly affirms “the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”. It might well be argued that, under the terms of the UN Charter to which the UK is a signatory, the requirement for permission from Westminster constitutes at least an unreasonable and possibly an unlawful interference in the exercise of the Scottish people’s right to determine the form of government best suited to their needs.
What cannot sensibly be argued is that the people of Scotland somehow lost – even temporarily – the right of self-determination when they voted No in 2014. Democracy is a process, not an event. It is plainly an affront to any concept of democracy to insist, as many Unionists do, that the democratic process be stopped just because they got the result they wanted. These Unionist might well retort that nationalists want to keep on voting until they get the result they want. Of course they do! That is no more than democracy in action. The right to decide – to make an informed choice – necessarily implies the corollary of a right to reconsider in the light of new information. It cannot be otherwise and still be considered democracy.
The British parties’ campaign to deny the people of Scotland a voice is, not only undemocratic, it is definitively anti-democratic. That they continue this effort despite Holyrood having voted decisively in favour of a new referendum merely adds disrespect for Parliament to contempt for democracy and disdain for the sovereignty of the Scottish people on a lengthening charge-sheet.
There is, however, a sense in which the first independence referendum really was a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’. In many way, the stars were favourably aligned for the restoration of Scotland’s independence back then. At the very least, and despite the deplorable behaviour of the anti-independence campaign, there remained the possibility that the archaic, dysfunctional political union could be dissolved with a minimum of acrimony and a certain amount of goodwill. In November 2013 I wrote,
A No vote on 18 September 2014 will have consequences. The outcome itself and the all too easily envisaged response of the British state to that outcome will alter an already unsatisfactory political union in ways that must inevitably have a deleterious effect on the social union that we all value so much.
Who can deny that the imperious, domineering, contemptuous attitude of Theresa May’s ‘One Nation’ British nationalist regime has altered the union and deformed the democratic space within which the constitutional debate is conducted?
Who can deny that the shrill, irreverent and all too often infantile behaviour of the British parties at Holyrood has been deleterious to all political discourse in Scotland?
Who can deny that, in a test of loyalty which asked them to choose between Scottish democracy and an increasingly obscene and irrational British nationalism, MSPs from the British parties chose the latter. They chose to forsake Scotland for the dogma of ‘The Union At Any Cost’.
Now, regrettably, we must recognise that the ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ we had in 2014 is gone. Independence is as inevitable now as it was then. But it cannot now be a graceful or an amicable process. Our best bet may be to get it over with as quickly as possible.
I feel slightly disappointed that we have not (IMO) succeeded in making similar robust responses to a wider audience. The deployment of ‘fake’ opinions polls to generate the “the people don’t want one” mantra is risible, yet they are still getting away with it.
Since when, within our parliamentary democracy have we given mere opinions polls more weight than the wishes of an entire electorate, specifically as expressed in May 2016. The use of opinion polls by the unionist side is absurd and yet the media (obviously) and ourselves (meekly) haven’t been clear enough in rebutting this.
To put it bluntly and directly, 1000 people on a Panelbase or BMG database have zero authority to determine the future of Scotland. Those suggesting that they do (e.g. May, Mundell, Davidson) are not behaving democratically.
Peter, enjoyed your recent talk in Blairgowrie, this question is not directly in point to your article but i hope you know the answer…
If the UK negotiates a settlement with the EU which includes a deal to allow the EU to enter Scottish waters for fishing, for eg, is Scotland then bound into the UK/EU terms of settlement even if we remain in the EU as a separate entity thereafter or do we renegotiate?
The hope and intention, of course, is that we should never be in that position. Whatever Theresa May says, it is essential that we vote Yes before any Brexit agreement comes into force. Having voted Yes, the EU will no accept that the UK is negotiating on our behalf.
In the scenario which you set out, I can’t see any way that Scotland could be bound by an agreement entered into by a state of which it is no longer a part. Re-negotiation would be required.
But this again highlights the necessity of declaring our withdrawal from the UK before any Brexit deal is formalised. Ideally, we would be looking to start from something as close to the present situation as possible. That, after all, is what the people of Scotland voted for last year.
It really doesn’t matter how you come at this thing. It all boils down to the simple fact that we MUST have a referendum before Brexit, and we MUST vote Yes. That way, we have a number of options. Otherwise, we have none. All decisions will be made for us by this malignant, incompetent Tory regime.
If they had a cohesive argument they would put that forward rather than just trying the tactic getting the pro-Ind supporters to stop.
Tories, Labour and LibDems combined won the No vote in 2014 but they don’t know what they won it for, where they would go with the win.
as the title says , “it could have been all so different” all the Unionist side had to do was Honor the promises made , instead they decided to deconstruct with petty arguments and political dogma ways to remove everything that was promised by voting down every single amendment and proposal , with the Labour party in the background refusing to budge on anything it was NO NO we won we won , this short sighted mantra has got us to where we are now , what did they expect ? did they expect the YES supporters to go away .
‘Who can deny that, in a test of loyalty which asked them to choose between Scottish democracy and an increasingly obscene and irrational British nationalism, MSPs from the British parties chose the latter.’
I’m sorry, but the bias here is astounding. British Nationalism is characterised at ‘obscene’ and ‘irrational’ while Scottish Nationalism is described as ‘democracy’. All nationalism is distasteful and Scottish nationalism is just as unpleasant as the British version.
The Scottish variety can be judged by its track record, not a drop of blood spilt in its name, whereas….
There was a woman in the USA who won their national lottery jackpot–a “one in a lifetime event” event it was proclaimed. Some years later she won the jackpot again. It is as you say, Mr Bell, a figure of speech to emphasise the rarity of such events. That the sovereign people of Scotlan–through its democratically elected parliament–have voted to have another referendum (to essentially settle the question of which union it prefers when it can now only be a member of one) is democracy in action. A manifesto pledge of such a referendum was presented by one of Scotland’s political parties to the people of Scotland–and they won a landslide victory. Our parliament is an expression of our sovereign will. To attempt to suppress our will in any way is tantamount to a dictatorship.
Is that really what the UK has become? If the London regime does not respect the will of Scotland’s parliament then it WILL be seen, the world over, as exactly that–a dictaroship.

Investigator Jack Taylor tracks a killer in this wickedly smart and darkly humorous mystery.
Part 14 of the Jack Taylor series.
After much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor has at long last landed at contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon. Once again, trouble comes to him-this time in the form of a wealthy Frenchman who wants Jack to investigate the double-murder of his twin sons. Jack is meanwhile roped into looking after his girlfriend's nine-year-old son and is in for a shock with the appearance of a character out of his past. The plot is one big chess game, and all of the pieces seem to be moving at the behest of one dangerously mysterious player, a vigilante called "Silence"...because he's the last thing his victims will ever hear.
This is Ken Bruen at his most darkly humorous and most lovably bleak as he shows us the meaning behind a proverb of his own design-"the Irish can abide almost anything save silence." |
Jack Yan & Associates Information: Encouraging greater public transport use: give people the tools they want, says Yan
Wellington, July 24 (JY&A Media) Mayoral candidate Jack Yan believes that opening up Wellington’s public data, especially for transport, can play a role in innovation and economic diversification, as part of a greater plan to build the city’s economy. ‘Opening up Metlink data,’ he says, ‘would encourage greater public transport usage for a start.’
He says that by providing public data, Wellington developers to create apps and other programs. He identifies the real-time information used by Metlink as a prime candidate, from which a Wellington company can use the data for live maps of where buses and trains are, helping commuters and encouraging greater use of public transport.
‘We can encourage greater use of public transport if people have tools that appeal to them,’ he says. ‘People want predictability, and the ability to plan their day. Right now, we still don’t have enough when it comes to public transport.’
Mr Yan is in favour of opening more of the city’s data to the public, and points to a competition in Maine earlier in June where netizens took public data and created projects to help the community.
‘Opening up data can not only show off our creative abilities as a city, but bring people together,’ he says. ‘It’s a small part of a much wider plan.
‘We can innovate and ensure that everything that the city currently measures with water and power usage is made public, so our best and brightest minds can come up with conservation and energy solutions.
‘We keep saying we are the creative capital, yet we don’t seem to tap in to this very creativity,’ he says.
Mr Yan says that with more older voters than younger voters, some of the fresh ideas to make our services more appealing to “wired” users have been ignored by some candidates. ‘They are under a mistaken belief that older voters would not find such ideas useful, or they are choosing to ignore younger voters because they do not provide enough votes.’
He says, ‘The best ideas have the potential to go global, and similar ones in New Zealand’s past—such as the computer graphics used to track America’s Cup entrants or TV weather maps—have gone on to be export earners for us.’
Other public data should be made available, he says, including public documents that currently are only available to citizens with official information requests. ‘They should be searchable, too,’ says Mr Yan. ‘The cost of putting them online is far lower than printing them out and posting them to people.’
He was the first mayoral candidate to publish a manifesto in April on his website (http://jackyan.com or http://backjack2013.com). It has a 10-point plan on kick-starting Wellington’s economy. He is the only candidate regularly conducting international business, with a strong entrepreneurial record, and has formally mentored Wellington businesses since 2006.
In 2010, he had campaigned on free wifi for the inner city and waterfront, now a reality and used by a record number of people in Wellington.
Jack Yan founded Jack Yan & Associates (http://jya.net), one of the world’s first virtual firms, in 1987, operating internationally. Among his company’s interests are business consulting, imaging, software and media, including the fashion magazine brand Lucire. He writes on topics, ranging from branding and business responsibility to fashion and typography, in numerous publications and journals worldwide and is a regular international speaker. He serves on the editorial board for The Journal of Brand Management. He has authored or co-authored numerous books, including Beyond Branding, Typography and Branding and, most recently, Nation Branding: Country Concepts and Cases. His personal site is at jackyan.com. He is a director of the Medinge Group (http://medinge.org), a think-tank in Sweden devoted to cutting-edge branding. He was one of the parties behind the successful bid for Miss Sweden in 2003 for Panos Emporio, and is general counsel of the Miss New Zealand Consortium, the New Zealand licensee for Miss Universe. Since 2006, he has been a mentor with Business Mentors New Zealand. In 2013, he announced his second bid for the mayoralty in Wellington, New Zealand, after netting 12 per cent of the vote on his first attempt.

Noel Gallo, an organ builder who designed a new organ at Xewkija parish church and Paolo Oreni, an international organist from Italy, gave a two-hour masterclass to organists and other musicians at the church. They also briefed pianists on the basics of organ performance and gave demonstrations on how organs are made and how they work. At the end of the session Oreni and Sara Musumeci also performed music by Bach, Liszt and Reubke on the same organ. This was part of a series of concerts and masterclasses given by Gallo, Oreni and Musumeci in Malta and Gozo to encourage people explore the beauty of this instrument. Picture shows Gallo playing the organ watched by Musumeci and Oreni. |

The latest report from Violence Policy Center.
I find it ironic and sad that the very day an annual report on violence against women was released, a famed pro athlete was kicked off his team for slugging his wife in the face.
By now you’ve probably heard that Ray Rice, the Baltimore Ravens star running back, was caught on camera hitting his then-fiance and knocking her out with the single blow in an elevator . The March incident cost him a two-game suspension, but when TMZ released the video showing the act, the Ravens terminated his contract and the NFL suspended him indefinitely.
Today I captured the seriousness of domestic violence. The report from the Violence Policy Center shows that South Carolina is ranked the second worst state in the nation for violence against women. The report notes that 50 women were killed in 2012. Spartanburg County had four in 2012. The county has seen two husband-on-wife homicides so far this year and DV cases are some of the most common ones among daily incident reports here. Local leaders tell me it is a significant combination of problems that all need to be dealt with in order to change the status quo surrounding violence against women. Much of it starts with a serious culture change, they tell me.
I was baffled when a colleague of mine pointed out the Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends.” The anchors on the program somehow find a way to joke about Ray Rice knocking out his now-wife and dragging her limp body out of the elevator.
“I think the message is take the stairs,” one anchor quips.
We got right to the point during an interview today with the victim services director at SAFE Homes, a domestic violence shelter and coalition in Spartanburg County.
The gist of the interview was to hold people accountable for their actions and for society to never turn a blind eye.
My full story on the violence against women ranking in South Carolina is at goupstate.com and in Tuesday’s Spartanburg Herald-Journal. |

West Brom striker Zhang Yuning is on his way to Holland for a loan spell with Den Haag in the Eredivisie.
The Chinese forward was on loan with Werder Bremen last season but managed only two substitute appearance and did not make a first-team appearance. He was originally expected to be on a two-year loan spell at the German club but after not being capable of getting a game this was cut short.
This has now led to him moving to Holland and Den Haag for a season loan. The forward originally played in Holand before signing with West Brom in 2017 for an undisclosed fee. It will then be hoped that he can find the form he showed in Holland with Vitesse that got him his move to England.
In a case am sure is complete coincidence Den Haag are owed by Chinese based company United Vansen International Sports Company. |

Traditionaly the Erich kästner museum year begins with the last prepartions for the birthday celebrations on the 23rd of february with our Museum festival.
This year the theme chosen is "Generations" and is the 7th museum pictogram. Generations will focus on the importance of young and old working together to form a better future. It is a statement of dual responsibility between the generations. It is a fundamental ingredient in every civilised society. It is also a call for an awareness of the importance of diversity and sustainibility in our actions and respect towards the other living organisms on our planet so that coming generations may enjoy the beauty of our world.
However before we venture further into the unknown of 2010 let me mention a very important project we undertook last year in cooperation with our sponsor and partner, the Cultural foundation of the bank of Dresden represented by Monika Kunz.
This project is a wonderful example of young and old working together, supported by local writers, several schools in dresden undertook the task of writing a short text on "friendship".
The texts were collected and were developed further in small workshops run by professional writers. The resultuings texts were published as a collection at the end of 2009 and were presented to the children as a small gesture of gratitude for their work.
We hope that this very special project can be repeated in 2010 and will be the beginning of a long tradtion of "Generations" working together. |
Any speed over the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 m/s, 1,087 ft/s, 761 mph or 1,225 km/h in air at sea level, is said to be supersonic. Speeds greater than 5 times the speed of sound are sometimes referred to as hypersonic.
Sound can be considered simply as a plane pressure disturbance in an elastic medium. As such sound will travel at different speeds in different mediums, mostly depending on the molecular mass and temperature of the medium in which the sound propagates; pressure has a very much smaller effect. Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, supersonic speeds for aircraft are given at sea level. In water at room temperature supersonic can be considered as any speed greater than 1,440 m/s or 4,724 ft/s.
Many modern fighter aircraft are supersonic. The Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 were supersonic passenger aircraft. But, since Concorde's final retirement flight on November 26 2003, there are no supersonic passenger aircraft left in service.
Most modern firearm munitions are supersonic, with rifle projectile often travelling at speeds approaching Mach 3.
In 1942 the United Kingdom's Ministry of Aviation began a top secret project with the Miles Aircraft to develop the world's first aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier. The project resulted in the development of the prototype Miles M.52 aircraft, which was designed to reach 1000 mph (1600 km/h) at 36,000 feet (11 km) in 1 minute 30 seconds.
The aircraft's design was revolutionary introducing many innovations which are still used on today's supersonic aircraft. The single most important development was the all-moving tailplane which allowed control to be maintained at supersonic speeds; this was the brainchild of Dennis Bancroft and his team at Miles Research. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled by the Director of Scientific Research, Sir Ben Lockspeiser, before any manned fights were conducted. Subsequently, on government orders, all design data and research regarding the Miles M.52 was sent to BELL aircraft in the USA. There was supposed to be data exchange in both directions, but allegedly, after receiving the British data, the American government blocked the deal.
Later experimentation on the Miles M.52 design proved that the aircraft would indeed have broken the sound barrier, with an unmanned 3/10 scale replica of the M.52 achieving Mach 1.5 in October 1948.
Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 feet (13.7 km).
A team led by Richard Noble and driver Andy Green became the first to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle, called the Thrust SuperSonicCar, on October 15 1997, almost exactly 50 years after Yeager's flight.
Hans Guido Mutke claimed to have broken the sound barrier before Yeager, on April 9 1945 in a Messerschmitt Me 262. However, this claim is disputed by most experts and lacks a scientific foundation.
Supersonic aerodynamics are simpler than subsonic ones because the airsheets at different points along the plane doesn't know of each other. Subsonic air anticipates an airplane or an airfoil, supersonic air just jams into the shock-wave.
One can gently guide air around the fuselage of the aircraft without producing new shockwave, but any change in cross area further down the vehicle leads to shock waves along the body.
It should be kept in mind, however, that the aerodynamic principles behind a supersonic aircraft are often more complex than described above due to the fact that such an aircraft must be efficient and stable at both supersonic, transonic and subsonic flight.

We’re just one month away from the official start of summer, and by the looks of this cheerful yellow chevron décor, spring is in full bloom in Los Cabos!
We put together this clean, bright corporate event for a beach party at Capella Pedregal. In such a breathtaking outdoor setting, this décor just needed a few simple finishing touches to tie everything together. We added clear vases with sand and a few succulents, which really allowed the dark exposed wooden tables and vivid yellow accents to stand out.
One of the best aspects of this set-up was working with Mistine, who oversaw the weekend events for this group. It was truly a pleasure working with her, and we really want to thank Mistine for making us a part of this great corporate beach party. Of course we must also extend a thank you to the team at Capella—it is always a delight to work with such a professional group of individuals!

We just took a glimpse into Fall with my last post, but today I’m back into summer mode with a fun print ankara print midi dress. Not only is its P I N K hue EVERYTHING, but the print offered me yet another opportunity to delve into the mixed prints game. At times I read that mixed prints can be intimidating to some, one of the easiest ways to transition into the print toss game is by way of black & white. I’ve shown a few examples here on the blog of how to mix patterns/prints solely using black & white (see HERE, HERE, HERE). Today’s post is an example of how to do so while incorporating other colors.
This dress is perfection for casual summer wear, but for the office I opted to add in sleeves. Or shall I say statement sleeves? 😊 Have I mentioned recently exactly how cold my office is?! Seriously, like the north pole ⛄ Nonetheless, I digress…
I love that pattern mixing. This is so cute with the multi colored dress and that white/bue striped top! Love it!
You are so fabulous at creating unexpected combinations and truly inspired looks. The layering and print mixing here is pure magic! Thanks for the redirect to Grass Fields. Their fabrics are beyond beautiful!
Thanks so much Liz!! I get a chance to tap into my creative side with fun prints like this :) Grass Fields has prints that seem to come to life, and the colors are just as vibrant and rich in person <3

Boron nitride is a synthetic material that's available in several forms, including powder, solid, liquid, and aerosol spray. Most types of glass will not stick to boron nitride; as a result, the liquid and aerosol forms can be used in kiln-forming as a release on slumping molds.
Although boron nitride is much more expensive than kiln wash, it does have several advantages. Applied correctly, it is smoother than kiln wash. It's also less dusty, and may be less likely to mark the slumped glass than kiln wash. It can be used on both stainless steel and clay molds, but most formulations of boron nitride are not suitable for use on the kiln shelf.
Depending on the quality and purity, liquid boron nitride may be used as is or diluted with distilled water. It works best when diluted to the consistency of whole milk. Boron nitride aerosol sprays can be used straight out of the can, and no mixing or diluting is necessary.
In general, boron nitride is rated for kiln use only to around 1550F/840C. Some varieties of the product will claim higher rated temperatures, but usually this refers to the product's use in a reducing atmosphere, rather than in the oxidizing atmosphere typical of most kilns.
Tomorrow's tip will contain specific information about using boron nitride on slumping molds. |

Here are some accessible perceived affidavit that may abutment the use of titles as catalysts in the process. Titles can arm-twist accent acquirements aback they are clearly composed of structures that calmly acquaint linguistic credibility through its accomplishments contents. In accession to arcane connections, the above-mentioned adeptness or accomplishments advice abaft the titles prepares and guides the students’ account to be articulated. Furthermore, the examples they assemble accomplish contemporary instructions aback they accept the addiction to hotlink responses to the ambience known. Also, they hotlink learners to the absolute apple and accredit them to biking aback into time abacus acquaintance abnormally if these works’ actualization synchronizes with their ages. If title’s accomplishments is shared, it stimulates students’ concern for inquiry. It encourages readership a part of learners. They are apprenticed to apprehend curve from alien titles abacus to their knowledge. Likewise, the material’s appearance behest strategy. In teaching, it is the characteristics and capacity of the abstracts that appearance the adorning techniques, it is not the activity that is absitively first, but rather accretion of adapted abstracts is the antecedence which by itself directs the method. Moreover, it motivates learners if not to abrogate their apathy by captivation to assorted genre. Similarly, if we counterbalance and accede them to activity our accent lessons, they advance to abundant accent focuses. Equally, titles accept linguistic and arcane appearance demonstrating that grammar structures are abstruse with arcane elements. Finally, the approaches that they actualize for learners accommodate both ball and comprehension. With this alien concept, we accept that some barbaric things can be accidentally useful.
Linguistic challenges through absolute apple abstracts arise from the interactions amid the abecedary and the students. Incorporation of acclaimed titles’ backgrounds enables the abecedary to advance boldness in advancing contemporary acquaint to enhance students’ accretion of the language. Acclaimed titles from assorted brand of arts tend to be advantageous through their assorted linguistic appearance that are embedded- individual word, two words, phrases, clauses, and even sentences. These aren’t advised as acquirements accoutrement however, in the acumen of a amorous educator, they can bear acquirements upshots added than what are accustomed of their adorning significance. These abstracts acquired from films, abbreviate stories, novels, paintings, essays, songs or album books surfacing in the absolute apple can arm-twist artistic activities for instructions. These brand may accept emerged in capricious time but it is the albatross of the adviser to instructively bury these springboards. Actuality are some acquaint that can be acquired but are not bound to: modification of titles through descriptions, cant accessory through digest titles, amplification of titles by application locations of speeches to anatomy sentences, architecture of prepositional phrases to change meanings with the accession of added forms of phrases, words and collocations’ coaction through perceived senses, and created images for acceding writing; compassionate account through symbolisms and substituting symbolical words from the title, subject-verb agreement, appropriate clauses as abased and independent, acumen of a noun byword and their access to added phrases to anatomy sentences, extracting capacity of a accepted abstraction for analogue of terms, broad pronouns’ functions and rules in book constructions, and the abstraction of the accompaniment verbs audible from activity verbs forth with about-face of statements from negatives to questions.
51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus continued out his duke and drew his sword, addled the assistant of the top priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your brand in its place, for all who yield the brand will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you anticipate that I cannot now adjure to My Father, and He will accommodate Me with added than twelve legions of angels? 54 How again could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it have to appear thus?”
Jesus knew He have to die at the easily of amiss men. As the end approached, added and added “word” was getting candy by the Father into His memory. He could see the accomplished account now, and He knew absolutely if anyone was aggravating to yield Him off course.
This aforementioned Chat is our adviser today. Word-filled humans apperceive if the Enemy is aggravating to alter or distract. They admonishment him and move on to their advised destiny.
We allege not of alone these abandoned passages. They are not exceptional, but rather apocalyptic of Jesus’ absolute way of operating. What we alarm the airing of the Spirit is carefully articular with the airing of the Word. The Chat is the apparatus that the Spirit uses to adviser and direct. Those who assert they shall run by their animosity shall run amuck. They will eventually abatement into the canal after bright advice from the Chat that gives us light. See Jesus’ affirmation on this amount in the afterward passages:
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a adequate plan we do not rock You, but for blasphemy, and because You, getting a Man, accomplish Yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not accounting in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ‘? [Psalm 82:6]35 If He alleged them gods, to whom the chat of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father all-powerful and beatific into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
He mentions this abstraction alone in reference, but what an insight! In the Mind of our Savior the Scripture have to all be fulfilled. His admirers already believed this, by the way. The prevailing administration of the day absolutely believed that the Scriptures were from God. But they were dark as to the accomplishment of those Scriptures. May God bouncer our own hearts from a pride that will could cause us not to see afore us the airy realities of Scripture. If we annulment Scripture from worship, it will be said of us, “In arrogant do they adoration me. Their affection is far from me.” After the Holy Spirit, anyone said, we may as able-bodied bake the Bible.
Note in casual that Jesus equates “the chat of God” with “Scripture.” This one who died with Scripture on His mouth, who submitted to the Chat of God all His life, lets us apperceive actuality that there is not one base accidental chat accustomed by God to His people. Plenary inspiration, it is called. Every chat of God unbreakable!
One added note, and again we move on: the chat “Scripture” is in the singular. Everything that God has accustomed to his men to address is advised one assemblage of revelation. We still accredit to the adumbration in the atypical if we say “the Bible”, the Book.
17 “Do not anticipate that I came to abort the Law or the Prophets. I did not appear to abort but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and apple canyon away, one jot [iota, aboriginal letter] or one tittle [dot, serif] will by no agency canyon from the law till all is fulfilled.
How could any law, any word, be so able as to be indestructible? How could any man apperceive the approaching of that law? Impossible, unless the accounting words of men are aswell the accounting Chat of God, and the man is not alone a man, but the Son of the Father in Heaven.
The accurateness of identification of Jesus with His Chat is conceivably no bigger exemplified than in Luke 4:18, 19, a citation anon from Isaiah 61:1-2:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is aloft Me, because He has all-powerful Me To deliver the actuality to the poor; He has beatific Me to alleviate the brokenhearted, To affirm alternative to the captives And accretion of afterimage to the blind, To set at alternative those who are oppressed; 19 To affirm the adequate year of the Lord.”
He knew the Scripture activated to Him, for the Father reminded Him that He was the One Who had announced these actual words to Isaiah 700 years before, through the Holy Spirit. There is a faculty in which that aforementioned Spirit comes aloft us and lets us apperceive that the Jesus in us is still admonition to the poor, healing brokenhearted, ambience captives free, admonition the conservancy that is in Jesus. The Chat is abiding and centers in Christ.
Later, Jesus told humans to appraise His admiral in the ablaze of this aforementioned Scripture. See, He implied, what Isaiah and others said about Messiah, and see if I do not bout altogether what they said:
What accept I abstruse about afterward your heart? In short, it takes adventuresomeness and faith. It’s such a bad-tempered affair because anybody seems to accept an assessment about what you should or shouldn’t do- even admitting it’s your activity to live. The action becomes added circuitous if the admonition runs adverse to your desires and comes from humans you respect. This commodity presents 5 tips to advice you action through this allocation of the discovery. In my opinion, next to administering a self-assessment, afterward your affection is activity and death.
I’m alpha to complete like a torn record, but it is essential. Answers appear from within. Therefore, you accept to apprentice to apprehend and discern. How do you apperceive if something is not appropriate for you? Simply put, it feels afflictive down to the pit of your stomach. Every time I abandoned the still baby voice, I took the amiss turn. God makes moves to get you aback on track; however, you can abstain the accidental detours.
In accession to gluttonous advice from friends, family, mentors, and professionals, don’t carelessness to pray. The architect formed you. He knows your close workings. Furthermore, he knows the adept plan. How could you not seek or avoid his direction? The added you are in accompany with Him, it becomes easier to apprehend the still baby voice.
If you are bent to chase your heart, you accept to annihilate the noise. Area does the babble originate? The altered voices, decidedly those opposing your view, advance into annoying distractions. They accept the accommodation to abash you, and abashing increases agnosticism and fear. Change the channel, accept to the close voice, and accumulate moving.
Most attempt to chase their affection because the focus becomes how instead of why? In my assessment the above creates agnosticism and a abridgement of hope. With that in mind, activate by allegorical the why. Why do you wish to sing? Why do you wish to address books? Why do you wish to body houses? Create a big abundant why to sustain your drive. You’ll columnist forward, affected obstacles, and allure resources.
Regardless of the ambience or assignment at hand, I accept consistently heard this statement: Use what you have. The aboriginal time occurred afterwards an awkward chat with a accessory who questioned my abilities for accepting hired. Ouch! By the time she accomplished raking me over the coals, my self-esteem should accept diminished.
Nevertheless, I was intrigued. Curiosity led me to the affairs coordinator’s office, with a pen and block in hand. I questioned him about the affidavit for selecting me. The acknowledgment revolutionized my thinking. “We weren’t anxious about what you didn’t have; this is what you accept and what we charge you to use.”
At the aforementioned time, his observations had annihilation to do with my acquaintance or education; he detected an invaluable personality affection that continues to abstracted me from the pack. That’s if I started announcement the close accepting over the accreditation and accolades.
Several years later, accession befalling presented itself. At the cessation of a affair area I did not apperceive what I was accepting interviewed for, the Director absolved me to the elevator- with her duke on my appropriate shoulder. Speaking cautiously she said, “The alone affair I can acquaint you now is that I’m alive on a program. I charge you to appear on lath and use aggregate you have.”
Since then, I’ve acclimated what I accept to barrage a training and consulting firm, after a ample business budget. I facilitated chargeless accessible seminars at bounded libraries (free affair rooms, accompaniment of the art technology, a accessible relations administration that creates abstracts for you, and circadian bottom traffic) to ability abeyant clients.
In accession to accepting the chat out, I racked up a accumulating of testimonials. Most important, the participants became my bottom soldiers. They agilely took my brochures aback to their employers, accurately the animal assets department. Mission accomplished!
Are you accepting the point? Stop annoying about what you don’t have. Be creative! Run with what’s already central you. Otherwise, you’ll never chase your dream. |
The courts don’t expect your company’s OHS program to be perfect. To make out a due diligence defence, your company must prove only that it made reasonable efforts to comply with the law and protect workers’ health and safety. But the courts do expect you to take all reasonable steps toward compliance—not just some steps.
> Institute a formal hazard assessment for any work or activity in the areas where asbestos was present [R. v. Della Valle]. .
The OHS laws only require companies to protect workers from reasonably foreseeable hazards. The standard for determining whether a hazard was foreseeable is not what risks the company actually did foresee but what a reasonably prudent person in the same situation would have foreseen. If a safety incident or violation was foreseeable, the company will be held liable if it didn’t take all reasonable steps to prevent the incident or violation.
Example: A backhoe operator snagged a natural gas riser, causing gas to seep into a nearby butcher shop. The shop exploded, killing two people, seriously injuring five others and causing extensive property damage. The operator was convicted of two OHS violations. The court pointed out that the operator knew the risk of working around live gas lines and the potentially serious consequences of hitting a gas line with his backhoe. So doing so was clearly a foreseeable hazard. But the operator, who had plenty of time, didn’t take reasonable steps to avoid snagging a gas line, such as carefully digging with a shovel to expose the riser. In short, the court called the operator’s actions incredibly risky and the incident “entirely foreseeable” [R. v. Riemer]. .
If a hazard was not only foreseeable but actually known to the company, failing to address it is fatal to successfully arguing that you exercised due diligence.
Example #1: During blasting for a roadway construction project, flyrock showered a nearby trailer court, destroying a shed, crashing through a trailer’s roof and forcing a tenant to run for safety. The contractor and a supervisor were convicted of OHS violations and appealed. In upholding their convictions, the court noted that they knew damage from blasting was foreseeable because a prior blast during this project had caused flyrock to reach the same trailer court, thus demonstrating what could happen if proper safety precautions weren’t followed. The practical wisdom from that prior incident should’ve “informed reasonableness and safe practice,” said the court. It added, “Past experience can be a reliable predictor of future incidents or damage” [R. v. Government of Yukon].
Example #2: A technology company held a customer appreciation event that featured a mechanical calf roping machine operated by the company’s employees. The machine had a faulty spring. So the operator had to reach into it to manually release a hook. While a worker was doing so, he was hit in the back of the head by a steel lever and died. The appeals court pointed out that before the fatality, another worker operating the machine had been hit on the shoulder by the lever. So although the specific type of injury the worker who died suffered may not have been foreseen, the potential danger of being struck by this lever while reaching into the machine was a “reasonable prospect,” explained the court. Once this hazard was detected, a reasonable employer would have discontinued use of the machine and not permitted untrained workers to operate it. But despite being aware of the potential dangers associated with the machine, the company allowed the continued use of this equipment [R. v. XI Technologies Inc.]. .
Your company’s safety rules and procedures must be in writing. Verbal safety procedures are too easily misunderstood, which can have serious—and often fatal—consequences. Written safety procedures that spell out exactly what’s required and when are less likely to be misunderstood. As a result, courts will typically rule that due diligence requires written safety procedures.
Yes, your OHS program must include thorough, written safety rules and procedures. But that’s not enough to prove due diligence. You must also properly train workers on those rules and procedures. And that training must be adequate.
Example #1: In the Linamar case discussed above, the court ruled that the employer needed to develop not only a written policy on troubleshooting but also a related program for training workers on that policy.
Example #2: A flagger working along a highway was run over by an excavator operated by a co-worker and crushed to death. His employer was convicted of, among other things, failing to provide proper training to workers at the site. The court found that although the employer provided some instruction and training to workers, it was minimal and not to the extent required to prove due diligence [R. v. Concord Paving Ltd.].
Providing adequate training to workers isn’t going to help you prove due diligence if you can’t demonstrate that you provided such training. So you must document the nature and extent of the training the company provides its workers.
Example #1: In the Concord Paving case discussed above, the court noted that the employer’s OHS program manual contained a form for documenting the safety courses that workers took. But at trial, it didn’t produce any such forms for the workers involved in the incident to prove that they’d taken any safety courses.
Example #2: A temporary worker for a salvage company fell approximately three metres from an opening in a wall onto a pile of pipe, suffering a broken leg and three broken ribs. The company was convicted of several safety violations. Among other factors that led to a finding of no due diligence, the court said that although the company claimed that it provided workers with a safety orientation, it had no documentation to prove that claim [R. v.

As important as adequate training is, you must also ensure that workers are appropriately supervised while on the job in order to prove due diligence. That’s because proper supervision is the best way to ensure workers are actually applying their training.
Example: At a bridge construction project, a safety inspector saw workers working 20 to 50 feet above the ground without adequate fall protection in the form of guardrails or handrails. In addition, the workers were attached to a horizontal lifeline that wasn’t properly engineered. The employer appealed its conviction for violating the fall protection and supervision requirements, pointing to the training it provided to workers on fall protection. But the Tribunal explained, “Training alone does not meet the requirements of due diligence, if there is not adequate supervision to ensure that the knowledge provided through training is being correctly and consistently applied” [WCAT-2012-00224].
And the need for appropriate supervision applies to all workers—even those who are experienced.
Example: During an inspection of a residential construction project, a safety officer saw an experienced journeyman carpenter working about 18 feet above the ground without his fall protection harness attached to a lifeline. The construction company was penalized for fall protection violations, which it appealed. The Tribunal acknowledged that the carpenter had more than 20 years’ experience and was familiar with the fall protection requirements. In fact, he admitted that he should’ve attached his harness to a lifeline. But the Tribunal noted that there was no evidence that he was properly supervised to ensure he complied with these requirements. It appears that the company simply opted to rely on his experience, training and knowledge [WCAT-2012-00416].
Companies have a duty to ensure that workers follow safety rules and procedures and comply with the OHS laws. To that end, you should take steps to convey to workers the importance of safety compliance—and the ramifications of safety infractions. For example, when workers violate safety rules, you must discipline them.
Example #1: At a residential construction site, a safety officer saw two workers, who were approximately 18 feet above the ground, not wearing fall protection harnesses. And there was no fall protection equipment on the roof. The construction company was penalized for a fall protection violation and appealed. The employer argued that it provided extensive training on fall protection requirements. But the Tribunal said the company’s training and education efforts weren’t sufficient for workers to understand the importance of complying with those requirements or the consequences of non-compliance. For example, the company didn’t implement a progressive discipline program for safety infractions until after this incident [WCAT-2011-02413].
Example #2: A safety officer inspecting a roofing project saw a worker and supervisor on a roof about 24 feet above the ground when neither was connected to a lifeline. During an inspection of another company worksite, two workers on a roof weren’t connected to lifelines. The company was penalized for failing to comply with the fall protection requirements and provide adequate training and supervision. It appealed. The Tribunal said that although the company provided fall protection training and had a progressive discipline program for safety infractions, it knew that workers were ignoring the fall protection requirements. So it should’ve realized that its efforts weren’t preventing or deterring fall protection violations and done more, such as providing bonuses for safety compliance [WCAT-2011-02507].
When a company is charged with a safety offence, it may try to point the finger at the workers involved, arguing that it took all reasonable steps and the workers simply disregarded safety protocol. Such an argument is unlikely to convince a court.
Example #1: In WCAT-2011-02413 discussed above, the company argued that it was the independent actions of the workers that led to the violations, saying they forgot to put their fall protection equipment back on after their lunch break. The Tribunal noted that although the workers themselves could’ve been hit with violations for their actions, their failure doesn’t relieve the company of its duties under the OHS laws.
Example #2: In Linamar, which was previously discussed, the employer argued that the worker got injured because he didn’t use a spotter as required. But the court noted that the training wasn’t clear as to the proper use of a spotter.
Because supervisors are responsible for ensuring that workers follow safety rules and comply with the OHS law, they should be held to a higher standard when it comes to safety infractions. So when a supervisor violates a safety rule, the consequences should be more severe than if a worker had committed the same infraction.
Example: In WCAT-2011-02507 mentioned above, a worker and supervisor were seen by a safety inspector not wearing fall protection equipment when required. But the Tribunal said it wasn’t apparent that the company held the supervisor more accountable for his actions than the worker, noting “the supervisor is responsible for setting an example to workers.” In fact, the employer simply gave both a verbal warning.
You must ensure that workers are supervised by actual supervisors and not leave that responsibility to their co-workers.
Example: A 22-year-old sawmill worker got caught in the pinchpoint of a canter machine and died. The sawmill was convicted of violating the supervision requirements. The Tribunal noted that the worker was young and had been on the job for less than a year. A supervisor had warned him before this incident about performing duties that weren’t his own. Under these circumstances, he should’ve been closely supervised but he wasn’t. The fact that there were experienced and knowledgeable co-workers working in the same area as this worker wasn’t a substitute for the presence of an actual supervisor. So the Tribunal concluded that the sawmill failed to satisfy its duty to provide adequate supervision [WCAT-2011-02783].
In general, employers can’t avoid fulfilling their OHS duties by delegating them to someone else, such as a contractor or subcontractor.
Example #1: In Canadian Consolidated Salvage, previously discussed, the company argued that the prime contractor was responsible for supervising all workers—including the company’s—and complying with all safety requirements. So it had no duty to ensure the safety of its workers at that site. But the court said because the company was the injured worker’s employer under the OHS laws, it was responsible for ensuring his safety at the site. And there was no evidence that the company took “any steps whatsoever” to protect its workers.
Example #2: The contractor and supervisor in the Yukon case argued that hiring an experienced blaster relieved them of their duties under the OHS law. The court explained that the OHS law has “overlapping obligations” that mean everyone had a duty to ensure a safe blast. And there was no evidence that the contractor had a system in place to ensure that all blasting was done safely.
The same rule applies to suppliers who provide you with equipment and materials.
Example: In the XI Technologies case, the company argued that it wasn’t foreseeable that the supplier would provide it with an unsafe machine. In essence, the company assumed that the equipment would be safe to use. But the appeals court explained that the OHS law required the company, as an employer, to take reasonable steps to ensure that such equipment was, in fact, safe to operate as intended. And there were “rudimentary steps” the company could’ve taken to do so. For example, the company should’ve asked the supplier for adequate operating instructions or a demonstration of the machine’s proper use, especially considering that it was completely unfamiliar with this equipment. This relatively simple step would’ve alerted operators to the fact that the machine wasn’t working properly. But instead of getting instructions or a demonstration from the supplier, the company chose to rely on its untrained employees to figure out how to safely run the machine.
Companies must give workers the information they need to perform their jobs safely, such as MSDSs and safety signage. If that information is inaccurate, it’s almost as bad as—if not worse than—not providing the information at all.
Example: A safety officer discovered that there were stickers posted in areas on a seagoing vessel that said the areas were “asbestos-free” even though materials containing asbestos were present. In ruling that the company didn’t exercise due diligence, the Tribunal pointed out that the company couldn’t explain how inaccurate decals had been put up. And it didn’t have a system in place for double-checking or otherwise ensuring the accuracy of such signage [WCAT-2012-00145].
Companies are composed of human beings and humans make mistakes. But courts are unlikely to buy that argument that because a safety violation was simply the product of human error, the company should be excused from liability.
Example: A safety officer inspecting a construction site found that the company hadn’t gotten an underground locate of all utility services before starting excavation work. The company’s excuse for this oversight was that it was “due to human error.” But the Tribunal rejected this excuse as non-responsive. It pointed out that “accidents are usually due to human error.” The issue here was whether the company took steps to prevent this particular human error from occurring, which it hadn’t [WCAT-2012-00070].
Most safety violations are the result of flaws in the OHS program of a company that’s genuinely trying to comply but fell short. But if the violations are particularly egregious, say, because they’re the result of wanton disregard for safety or the failure to take simple and inexpensive steps, the company will not only get convicted but likely face an especially high fine.
Example: A truck driver was killed when a 15-metre-high wall of dirt and rock fell on him. Two companies were convicted of multiple safety violations. That two experienced construction companies could leave a sheer 50-foot wall without any shoring whatsoever was shocking, said the court. It described their conduct as “egregious and outrageous,” noting that the wall could’ve been properly supported for a relatively small amount of money. As a result, the court imposed record fines totally $2,472,500 on the companies [R. v. Perera Development Corp.].
As explained in Part 1, there’s no formula for establishing due diligence, no checklist of steps or actions that, if taken, would guarantee a successful due diligence defence. The best you can do is learn from other companies’ experiences in safety prosecutions. The cases in which the due diligence defence failed illustrate what not to do and which omissions will undercut due diligence. The successful cases can provide a sort of blueprint or guide for the steps and actions your company should be taking.
3. Anyone charged with a violation of the OHS laws, including companies and individuals, can raise a due diligence defence.
4. The due diligence defence applies to most violations of so-called “regulatory” laws, such as OHS and environmental laws.
5. Although due diligence isn’t technically a defence to criminal negligence or “C-45” charges, proving that you exercised due diligence makes it impossible to be convicted of criminal negligence. |

It would take me a long time to translate every contribution to english and I would then not have the time to paddle my kayak!
You are welcome to read my blog in your own language using GoogleTranslate, but as you will discover it’s far from perfect. It might though give you an idea of what I write about. One error I have discovered so far is (more will come):
The Danish word “ro”, which actualy means paddle, is mistakenly translated to calm, peace or something like that!
It is possible to translate into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Finnish by clicking on the flags in the right column. For translation into other languages, I refer to the Google Translate website.

It's been an interesting few months for us which has been consumed by something called GDPR. We've been "working" on this for a while, making sure we are compliant and certain that everything we need to do is dealt with by the May 25th deadline. We spend hours, no days, working through an Impact Assessment and whilst it appeared to be an insurmountable task, it was in fact a good exercise . Revisiting processes and procedures relating to all things "data" was quite therapeutic. Considering the way we all work has changed so much over the last 20 years, it was good to take stock of email etiquette, telephone protocol, how we secure and protect data. When the impact assessment was finished, compiled after writing work flows on 30 sheets of flip chart paper, we decided it might be useful to give the Impact Assessment to GLM members and all letting agents attending our courses.
We tailored the Impact Assessment specifically for the Lettings, property management and sales processes. We mapped every single element of data collection, data use, data protection and deletion then along with privacy policies and up to date GDPR compliant documents, gave it to our clients.
We are known for being customer focused. We ensure that our clients are taken care of but the reaction to what we did was quite overwhelming and sometimes amusing- messages of thanks and gratitude flowed in; clients who were panicking felt relieved and prepared; we have received cakes, cookies, flowers, chocolates and thank you cards. We've had more new Guild members in the last quarter than ever before because of the work we have done.
Our focus was not really GDPR, it was finding a way to ease the burden for our clients and it worked. And we are so glad we did it. |
There are several ambiguities regarding craigslist network and people very often are trapped by ads. There are sometime issues of illegal ads and very often we come to know about scam. Craigslist is providing ads regarding Kansas City. Police received a call that there is a baby for sale on craigslist. It was illegal as well as very serious matter. The call was make by adult and informed police about this serious matter. Investigation was started soon after that call. Police searched the site to find out the ad but there was no such ad and it was just a joke. Police started the investigation for the people who are responsible for this incident. Police found that there was not any ad related to sale of a baby. No baby was involved in this matter. Police suspected that it was hoax from an adult and he is responsible for this matter. Investigators are trying to trace the adult who is responsible for phone call. Punishment and charges are also expected. This is not the first prank call that police received. There are so many prank calls that interrupt the working of police and waste their time. They must remain careful about such calls.

If you spend any time on the web you know that today is the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s moon landing and the first steps of humans on the lunar surface. There’s been some great coverage from We Choose The Moon, to the live Twitter feed “replay”, to Kottke’s (now-finished) real-time TV coverage playback, to the Google graphic that actually has changed to follow the progression of the landing (and earthrise)!
The commemoration has caused me to reflect personally on the impact of the moon landing. Despite what you may have heard, the name of this blog references the upper half of the lunar lander, the stage that ascends to rendezvous with the command module for the journey home. My choice of that term came from a period of my life of intense interest in spaceflight* partially because of the sheer thrill of it, partially because of the series From The Earth To The Moon, but mostly because, at the time, I was a young project manager in a massive organization who saw in the moonshots the attempt to do something amazing with lots of smart people, cutting-edge technology, and a common goal. I didn’t want to be Neil Armstrong so much as Gene Kranz.
In the tributes, you’re not hearing a lot about the thousands of private contractors who helped plop the 12 guys on the moon. But the organization of that many people to do something of that magnitude in just a little more than 7 years may be as remarkable as the outcome.
IBM, the company that I work for, was a large part of this effort and I admit that this is a source of pride for me. I’ve had this photo of mission control taped to my cube for as long as I can remember.
These are my people. Practitioners of a timeless nerdiness that I think of often when I confront organizational bureaucracy or technical hurdles in my own job — one which ain’t, after all, rocket science. IBM has a great subsite up on our contribution to the space race.
Closer to home, I have the memory of my wife’s grandfather, William Boulet, who went to work as an engineer for Boeing after leaving the Army Air Corps after WWII (where he survived a year as a Nazi prisoner). At Boeing Grandpa Boulet designed a particular bolt that was used inside the fuselage of the Saturn V rocket and for his service he was given a commemorative medal — a keepsake I was given by his family when he passed away in 2005. I grabbed it before I left for work today. Not exactly sure why, but I felt like having it with me.
It isn’t nostalgia, of course, for I was not alive for any but the very last landing — and only a newborn then. For me, the Apollo program is equal parts inspirational and aspirational. Whether you agree with the purely political motives that set us on the course to the moon or not, my feeling is that what the effort itself represents is the very best of what humans can do when given a massive challenge packaged in a disheveled box of constraint.
We certainly have freighters full of that particular parcel today. Let’s get unwrapping.

We can nowadays easily recognise the threat of the profit-first principle of capitalism by reading the newspapers.
Media question why TEPCO did not immediately inject seawater into the reactors in order to try to cool them. They blame the delay of the utility’s response for worsening the situation. Some reports say that TEPCO could not make an immediate decision since it knew that once seawater was poured into the reactors they could no longer be used. This illustrates the profit-first principle, the intention to keep using the reactors even after the serious accident occurred.
Also in Japan, why are many nuclear reactors located in the same place? Since it costs a lot of money and time to obtain land for a nuclear power plant, they want to build as many reactors as possible once the land is secured. So the answer is simple: to cut costs.
However, earthquakes frequently occur in Japan. It would be disastrous if a major quake hits in an area where nuclear reactors are concentrated. Of course nuclear plant promoters are aware of this, but they continue to build nuclear facilities even in earthquake zones just because they can save money that way.
Moreover, our nuclear reactors are very old. Out of the 54 reactors in this nation, 20 were built over 30 years ago. There is no set life span internationally recognised for nuclear plants, but of course, the longer they are in operation the more they are weakened by age.
One thing we know for sure is that property taxes are levied on nuclear plants for their depreciation period of 16 years. In other words, utilities do not have to pay property taxes after the 16 years of their plants’ operation. That is why they want to continue to use their facilities for as long as they can. Although all six reactors at the Fukushima No.1 plant are old, operating since the 1970s, TEPCO still hesitated to inject seawater into them. This shows how deep seated the profit-first principle is.
This profit-first policy is driving the present nuclear power industry. Successive governments have also left the entire question of people’s safety up to industry, thus what we are witnessing now in the Fukushima accident is the worst-ever case of “capitalism without rules”. We need to think about whether we can afford to keep the situation as it is or not.
The LDP is now eagerly challenging the DPJ. It is true that the Kan Cabinet is guilty of unreliable politics, but who is really to blame for the present situation? When I was a Dietmember (MP), I took up the question of nuclear power risks several times in Diet deliberations.
In the 2000s, JCP representative Yoshii Hidekatsu pointed out the concrete risks by predicting what disaster could occur at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors in the event of a major earthquake and tsunami. In his Diet questions, he called for certain measures to be taken, stating that the Fukushima plant is highly vulnerable to a disaster.
However, all the cabinets, from LDP’s Koizumi and Abe to DPJ’s Hatoyama, ignored his warning. Although the LDP is the party that had promoted the nuclear energy policy and is to blame for the present catastrophe, it is forgetting its own role and pointing their finger at the DPJ. Of course, the DPJ is irresponsible as a governing party, but the LDP should also be held responsible for the ongoing crisis.
The JCP will try its best to make a success of the current major efforts to constrain the nuclear disaster and revive the stricken area by demanding that the DPJ-led government do what we think is necessary and pointing out its neglectful and irresponsible behaviour.
Together with reconstruction-related issues, the Japanese people now have to consider other major questions.
That is, the Japanese people should squarely address the issues of nuclear energy and what energy policy to choose, and find a reasonable solution with bright prospects for a sustainable future.
In this effort the following two points are significant.
(1) As a strategic approach, we should decide to withdraw from Japan’s present energy policy dependent on nuclear power. Of course it will take a certain period of time to achieve this change. But what we need is to implement the decision now and establish a national strategy for achieving it.
(2) As an urgent near-term approach, it is essential to establish a structure to control and inspect nuclear facilities with priority on safety by clearly breaking away from “capitalism without rules” scheme created in the nuclear energy field based on the nuclear “safety myth”.
In Japan, we have plenty of nuclear scientists and engineers with no direct relations with electric power companies. We also have the Science Council of Japan, a public organisation of socially-responsible scientists. In addition, some people once involved in nuclear energy projects have recognised the collapse of the “safety myth” and are beginning to raise their voices against the blind promotion of nuclear energy. Utilising the expertise of these people, we should establish the best safety system for nuclear energy in the world to control nuclear facilities with safety truly prioritised while at the same time decommissioning the plants.
Without this system, withdrawal from nuclear power will fail to be achieved because abolishing nuclear plants involves a number of stages. After operations come to halt, spent nuclear fuel should be taken out from reactors and disposed of. Since reactors without the spent fuel still give off a significant amount of radiation, this radiation should be removed. Then the reactors have to be dismantled. Measures are also needed to dispose of decommissioned reactors and their nuclear waste. In addition, we should consider how to use the sites after the reactors are removed. These processes will take at least 20 years. And all the stages should be carried out under a strict control system placing priority on safety.
These two points – strategically deciding to break away from nuclear power generation and urgently creating a framework to control and regulate nuclear energy with a mandate and responsibility putting great significance on safety – should be discussed nationwide. In the national political arena, these two issues will probably become major topics of discussion. |

By Rachele Baker, DVM – One morning this past week at the veterinary hospital where I was working as a relief veterinarian, a six-month-old Jack Russell Terrier puppy named Bitsy was brought in for diarrhea and vomiting. When I saw Bitsy’s appointment on the appointment calendar, the possibility of parvovirus infection was the first thing that came to my mind.
I went into the exam room to talk with Bitsy’s parent, Steve. Steve had just adopted Bitsy from a private party. He did not know whether Bitsy had received any vaccinations. He had just assumed that Bitsy had been vaccinated and had not requested any vaccine records from the previous owner.
I asked one of the nurses to collect a small sample of stool from Bitsy to run an in-house parvovirus test. While we were waiting for the results of the test, I examined Bitsy. She was depressed and slightly dehydrated. She had some diarrhea around her rectal area which had the characteristic foul smell of parvovirus diarrhea. Steve informed me that he had seen blood in Bitsy’s vomit and in her diarrhea. In about ten minutes, I had the parvovirus test results. Bitsy’s test was positive for parvovirus infection.
I explained to Steve that Bitsy was very sick and would need to be hospitalized with an IV (intravenous) catheter in place, IV fluids, IV antibiotics, and other medications as indicated. I told Steve that I would need to obtain a blood sample from Bitsy and run an in-house blood chemistry profile, a complete blood count (CBC), and an electrolyte panel right away. In addition, I would need to repeat those blood tests on a daily basis to monitor Bitsy’s response to treatment as well as to guide me in adjusting medications as needed.
Steve understood the seriousness of Bitsy’s disease and he agreed to my treatment recommendations. I had the nurses collect a blood sample from Bitsy for the in-house blood tests and had them place an IV catheter in Bitsy’s front leg. I started Bitsy on aggressive IV fluid therapy.
I also started Bitsy on two different IV antibiotics, an IV anti-vomiting medication, an IV stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. The in-house bloodwork showed that Bitsy’s white blood cells were almost completely obliterated by the parvovirus. White blood cells are essential to fight and overcome infections. Bitsy was in very critical condition. I was completely invested in doing my best to help Bitsy survive and recover from her disease.
On the second day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s blood potassium level started to drop below normal levels, so I had the nurses add potassium to Bitsy’s IV fluids. Bitsy’s blood glucose level remained within normal limits even though she was not eating, so I did not need to supplement her IV fluids with dextrose.
Each day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s white blood cell numbers continued to rise until they were up into the normal range. Bitsy continued to have a small amount of diarrhea but it was no longer bloody. By the second day, although Bitsy vomited a couple of times, the vomit no longer contained blood.
On the third day of hospitalization, after Bitsy had stopped vomiting and was much more bright and alert, I asked the nurses to offer her a small amount of water in a bowl and a small amount of a highly digestible, prescription canned dog food formulated for dogs with gastrointestinal disease. Bitsy lapped up a little bit of water but showed no interest in the food. Later in the day, however, Bitsy decided that the food looked pretty good and she ate all of it.
Bitsy’s appetite continued to improve until she had quite a healthy appetite. I had the nurses offer Bitsy a small amount of the gastrointestinal diet four times a day. Bitsy was acting playful and happy by midday on the third day of hospitalization. By the fourth day, Bitsy was getting into mischief and started trying to chew her IV catheter and the IV fluid line.
I sent Bitsy home with oral antibiotics, an oral stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. I asked Steve to bring Bitsy back in for a recheck examination in two days so that we could make sure that everything was going well.
Parvovirus is a very serious disease that can be fatal. Puppies can die from parvovirus infection even with intensive treatment. I was very happy that Bitsy responded well to treatment and that she will go on to live a normal, happy life with her new pet parent. These are the moments that are so gratifying to me as a veterinarian and that make all the hard work worthwhile.

Sad article with a great outcome!! Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed my post, Cara. I love happy endings too.
What a lovely story… I am so glad you were able to save little Bitsy, Rachele. It must be such a lovely part of your job, well done. I did not know that parvovirus could be so serious in animals.
Thank you, Ali. Parvovirus is a deadly disease which can be easily prevented by making sure that puppies get all of their puppy vaccinations in a timely manner starting at 8 weeks of age. I am very happy that I was able to save Bitsy.
Thank you for sharing your story Dr. Baker. It shows how critical vaccinations are and the need to find out your pet’s medical history.
You’re right, Dee. Vaccinations protect our pets from serious diseases, so it is very important to make sure that our pets get all of their vaccinations.
I love stories that end well! So glad you saved Bitsy! Years ago, we adopted a beautiful Vizsla puppy about 6 or 7 months old from the shelter. Within a week she was deathly ill with parvo, bad enough that I said my goodbyes and was totally devastated. She too was lucky enough to have a great vet to save her life, as Bitsy was lucky to have you..thank you for being there for these animals! This story reminded me of my dog Heather.
Thank you, Jeanne, for your kind words and for sharing your story about your puppy.
So many puppies succumb to parvovirus, it’s got to be an amazing feeling to save a life. I think I would have cried for joy when Bitsy started chewing on those IV tubes. Great job, Rachele and a good reminder to get those puppy vaccinations. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story.
Thank you, Elaine. It certainly made me, my staff, and Bitsy’s dad happy to see Bitsy acting like a normal healthy puppy again.
Parvo is sooo very sad! As a former shelter worker- I remember how absolutely devastating it was when we received a litter of puppies with parvo. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story!
I’m glad you enjoyed Bitsy’s story, Kaitlin. Thanks for sharing your experience with parvo working in a shelter.
I’m glad you were able to help this puppy. Many years ago I rescued a puppy who was wandering on the street and two days later he came down with Parvo. My husband and I waited 24 nerve wrecking hours to hear the outcome from our veterinarian. Little Harry pulled through, but had some residual effects that lasted throughout his life. He was a great dog!
Thanks for sharing your experience with your dog Harry, Sharon. I’m glad that he pulled through and got to enjoy life with a loving family. |

After encouraging wins over France and Serbia in their first two games in Group A, Australia faces a familiar foe on Thursday morning (AEST).
The win over Serbia meant the Boomers clinched their first 2-0 start in Olympic history, and now meet the undefeated and seemingly unbeatable USA juggernaut.
That meeting, however, won't faze Andrew Bogut and his comrades.
With five members of the Boomers squad plying their trade in the NBA, and a couple of others with previous experience in the Association, this Australian squad fears no one.
"Teams who ask the Americans to autograph their shoes are beaten before the game begins," Bogut told reporters, just after their 95-80 victory over Serbia.
"But that's not us and we think we can win."
In the lead up to Rio, the message coming out of the Boomers' camp was simple: They believe they can win gold. |
The long-running German science fiction series Perry Rhodan recently ran a contest whose winner, a certain Martin Felten, was included in issue number 2638 as a space actuary and inventor of a five-dimensional number system. (See here for an article in German containing more details about the real-life Felten.)
The necessity of an insurance mathematician in space was VERY well adapted to the titanic background of the series (although you have to be a longtime Rhodan reader like me to judge that). As you can guess with pulp, he's just a lousy civilian, but in the face of Dastardly Deadly Danger [tm], like all Terranians he outdoes himself. :-)
If we shortly come to the kinds of numbers: There are seven overall. The further mankind developed, the futher math developed and with it the numbers man learnt to handle.
First there were the naturals (N) to add and multiply. By subtraction the whole numbers came to be, the division led to define the rationals (Q). After that followed the reals (R) which already allowed to do powers and draw roots. But since they don't allow to draw roots from a negative number, there came the complex numbers (C).
In the sense of algebraic operations the number kingdom was complete - until ingenious heads arrived, defining for fourdimensional algebra the set of hypercomplex numbers.
To solve the riddle of the lightning wave of the Quolnean Keretzes, I had to use five-dimensional math, thus quintadim numbers.
Hauke comments "Of course, when it comes to dimensions, the whole thing degenerates into mathbabble (math version of technobabble), the author rather abuses the word and evidently never read John Baez :-)"
By the last remark, I suppose he is referring to the fact that the reals, complex number, quaternions and octonians are the only number systems in that all division algebras have dimensions 1, 2, 4, and 8 as real vector spaces (as Baez shows here). So, one would not expect to see "quintadim numbers". However, it really depends on what one means by "number", and Herren is certainly correct that this notion has evolved over time. In particular, there are most definitely five-dimensional algebras that are studied by mathematicians and physicists, as one can see by looking here.
I wrote back to Hauke, asking for more details regarding the uses of statistics and mathematics in the book. He replied:
"Perry Rhodan" can't deny its beginnings in cold war time (1960), and it began straight imperialist (some say fascist, but that's way too harsh). Time went by, ice cold warriors were replaced by hippie authors, and the Terrans now prefer to have a trade imperium. Still, around each corner a new invasor is lurking, High Powers frell around with the laws of the universe, and you can imagine that flying a trader space craft is a rather dangerous biz.
One of the old "Immortals" (they don't age - a blaster would quickly end their status :-) from very old times (me olde geezer was born in the same year PR started) is Homer G. Adams, who is a "mutant" with the ability to be a financial genius. So, ideally suited for interstellar trading, but he still needs an assistent for the insurance aspect (what's the probability this poor space ship will be eaten by a black hole?). And here Mr. Felten fit in perfectly.
Unluckily for you and me, this was only background, and not that much elaborated. (Still, he gets rather many of these diary entries, where you can read about his life - or rather of the real life Martin Felten.)
In the actual plot, he uses his 5D mathbabble to find some plotdrivium that helps against the weapon of the Quolnean Keretzes (you know you are a Rhodan fan when you can type this without thinking :-) mentioned in the snip. Unluckily for him, he has to test his theory under field conditions, read, a wrecked Keretze space ship which is going to explode under his civilian butt due to the laws of plot :-)
So, no larger descriptions of the everyday life of an actuary, but maybe author Marc A. Herren shied away from the additional research. After all, Perry Rhodan is light fiction. :-)

"ESET researchers have been tracking the TDL4 botnet for a long time, and now we have noticed a new phase in its evolution," announced David Harley, the company's director of malware intelligence.
"Based on the analysis of its components we can say that some of those components have been rewritten from scratch (kernel-mode driver, user-mode payload) while some (specifically, some bootkit components) remain the same as in the previous versions," he noted.
TDL, also known as TDSS, is a family of rootkits characterised by complex and innovative detection evasion techniques. Back in July, malware analysts from Kaspersky Lab called TDL version 4 the most sophisticated threat in the world and estimated that the number of computers infected with it exceeds 4.5 million.
However, according to ESET's researchers, changes are now being made to the way TDL4 infects systems and ensures its hold on them. Instead of storing components within the MBR, the new variants create a hidden partition at the end of the hard disk and set it as active.
This ensures that malicious code stored on it, including a special boot loader, gets executed before the actual operating system, and that the MBR code checked by antivirus programs for unauthorised modifications remains untouched.
"The malware is able to detect corruption of the files stored in the hidden file system by calculating its CRC32 checksum and comparing it with the value stored in the file header. In the event that a file is corrupted it is removed from the file system," the ESET researchers explain.
In April, Microsoft released a Windows update that modified systems to disrupt the TDL4 infection cycle. The rootkit's authors responded half a month later with an update of their own that bypassed the patch.
Several antivirus vendors like Kaspersky, BitDefender or AVAST, offer free stand-alone tools that can remove TDSS and similar rootkits. However, in order to avoid getting infected in the first place users should install an antivirus solution that provides advanced layers of protection, like those analysing software behavior. |

Robert Kubica broke his right leg in a spectacular crash Sunday near the midway point of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Kubica, a rising star of Formula One, was racing with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli and the Ferrari of Felipe Massa when he suddenly veered off course into the grass as they drove toward the hairpin.
Kubica's BMW Sauber slammed hard into the inside concrete wall, somersaulted across the track in a shower of debris, hit the outside wall and came to rest with what was left of his car on its side.
Medical personnel removed Kubica from the car and took him to the track medical facility before transferring him by helicopter to a Montreal hospital. Team officials said Kubica never lost consciousness. |

Kat's healing work is a wonderful blend of gentleness and strength. Her presence is both ethereal and grounded, angelic with a sprightly sense of humor, and clear-eyed frankness.

Matt was awarded a trip to Cancun by his employer for meeting his sales goal in the past year. He and Dawn spent three days in Cancun, plus two days traveling there and back. And I watched Brandon and Sophia while they were gone. I'll admit it: I was unsure of my ability to oversee them for five days. If they listened, if they obeyed, it would be no problem for me. If our views of how things should be done conflicted, the days would seem to be unending.
Matt had given each of the kids a gift card and their choice of activity Sunday was to go shopping! They wanted to end up at the mall, but had stops to be made on the way. We alternated: a stop here for Brandon, the next stop for Sophia. They were good shoppers. If they couldn't find what they wanted, we moved on. Eventually both were satisfied. Sophia found nail polish, fake nails and bear-faced cushy slippers. Brandon added to his football card collection. I guess one can never have too many.
Dawn and Matt were hosting a Halloween party when they returned, so I thought I'd help get ready by vacuuming. However, I couldn't get into Brandon's and Sophia's bedrooms because of all their toys scattered about. While I helped Sophia move things to their proper places, I asked Brandon to move his to his bed. I expected an argument but for some reason, both regarded this chore as more of a game. Once Sophia's floor was clear and she was free to go play, I moved to Brandon's room.
He was still working diligently. He'd begun to fill the waste basket beside him with broken crayons, old school papers, and other trash. Before the session was completed, he'd filled and emptied the container three times. And he was still on a roll.
I had dusted the bedside table and chest and said I was too tired to do more but would finish in the morning. He wanted it done now, and went to find the step stool and then climbed it so he could dust and rearrange the items on his highboy. Next he moved to the closet where he straightened his shoes and hanging clothes. Finally the sports card notebooks and boxes containing those that hadn't been assigned a place were neatly stacked in the closet. He'd worked steadily for over two hours and was pleased by his accomplishment. I was flabbergasted that he'd stayed with the task and done it right! He was so proud and said that he intended to keep his room tidy.
It turned out to be a great week. They ate what I fixed (and asked for the leftovers the next night!). We also went out to eat at their favorite restaurant and brought home ice cream to eat while relaxing before bedtime. And they kept their rooms neat, although Sophia doesn't seem to be bothered by clutter and had to be encouraged to put toys away rather than just toss them into the room!
On the following pages, and in the other blogs listed below, are pictures of my greatest joys ~ the people and places that are part of who I am ~ and material written in celebration of life as I see it here at Park Place.
The gifts are wrapped, a handful compared to past years. The grocery shopping is done. It'll be a simple meal -- ham, roasted vegetables for those who will eat them and corn for those who won't. Buttercrust rolls. Peppermint ice cream in an oreo chocolate crust.
Brett has entertained family and friends with e-mail from China. When I woke up on the 11th, several notes from him were in my in-box:
Never look out of the taxi driver's front windshield. Always concentrate your eyes out the side windows as to avoid the hysteric reactions you may have.
Always double check the address your hotel translates into Chinese for the taxi driver. Otherwise you may find yourself at a border crossing with no papers.
Don't misplace anything. You will not be able to explain the simplest item for them to understand what it is you're describing. Not even remotely!!!
Fortunately Brett doesn't get upset when these mishaps occur. And he did embellish his telling of his adventures. There was no border problem. The cabbie was unsure of Brett's destination, so Brett called the client's office and a person there instructed the cab driver where he should take Brett. The notebook was left in the back seat of the real estate agent's car and after a phone call to him, the notebook was returned to Brett at his hotel the next day.
In his search for suitable office space and an apartment, Brett went first to Shanghai and then Beijing. The cost to rent an apartment in Beijing is about one-third what it is in Shanghai. He likes both cities for different reasons, so I'm confident he and Michelle will be happy wherever they live.
Michelle flew over last Friday. She sent e-mail saying, "Brett met me at the airport and was kind enough to show up with a bag of crispy fried duck feet." What a guy! Obviously he put a lot of thought into presenting Michelle with something that would make her week's visit memorable. They'll spend the days leading up to Christmas in Hong Kong and then fly home on the 26th.
A few days after Thanksgiving, Sophia was the recipient of the Elf on the Shelf she named Freddie. The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is search the house to locate Freddie's perch for the day. Brandon isn't ready to talk about the existence of Santa, probably because he realizes that the excitement of Christmas will be diminished if Santa really doesn't arrive with a sleigh filled with toys and come down the chimney but instead pulls into the garage and hurriedly stows packages where little eyes won't find them.

Written by admin. Posted in Cash for structured settlement payments, Sell annuity payments, Selling fixed annuities
People choose to sell annuity payments for a variety of reasons. Getting cash for structured settlement payments provides a lump sum of cash up front to use, as you need. This cash is beneficial to resolve sudden financial problems or to provide a specific need or desire at the time. Making the choice to sell annuity payments may be the best option if you are needing a large sum of money quickly and not over a period of time.
High interest credit cards and loans, which carry a high interest rate, are like throwing money down the drain every time you make a payment. These payments and the interest rates can begin to take a financial toll on you. Selling your annuity for a cash lump sum provides extra cash to pay off these debts eliminating the payments all together.
Even the best of people fall on hard times occasionally. When bills get behind stress sets in and collectors begin calling. If you fall behind on your mortgage, you could be faced with a foreclosure. Bankruptcy is an option that many turn to in times like these. Selling a portion of your annuity benefits provides cash needed now to avoid bankruptcy.
It’s no secret that reliable transportation is needed to get you to and from your job. Without this, you will not have a job, and without a job, there will be no money to pay your bills. Those with poor credit or no credit often have a harder time getting a car. The down payment is either extremely high, or the interest rate will be high. Selling you annuity settlement provides a lump sum of cash to buy a car with. This eliminates financing companies and interest charges completely.
Nobody ever plans to get sick or injured, but the fact is that sometimes it happens. When you don’t have insurance, or when insurance doesn’t cover all medical costs, then these expenses can add up quickly. Using all or some of your annuity can get you the cash you need now to pay for medical expenses.
There are many reasons you could come into an annuity payment. In the year 2013, medical malpractice suits totaled $3.6 billion dollars, and employee lawsuits paid on average $150,000. When these suits are settled annuity payments are usually awarded. Immediate annuities usually start paying out within 30 days, and usually come once a month. Monthly payments may be helpful but not always practical. When you need a lump sum of cash immediately, don?t overlook the benefits you get when you sell annuity payments for cash.

We were just a few days into December when my 9-year-old came home from school demanding an explanation as to why our family couldn't have an Elf-on-the-Shelf. Now I'd had this discussion in previous years, but it was clear to me that he wasn't going to let it go so I had to choose my words quickly and carefully. I was reminded of his favourite holiday film, The Polar Express, in which a little boy comes to believe in Santa, and that magic stays with him into adulthood, unlike his friends and sister, for whom the magic disappears. That was it, I had my retort.
"First off, remind me how this elf works. How exactly does he move about?" to which he replied, "First you must name the elf. Then it comes to life and starts doing all of these crazy and fun things at night" - I interrupted, "So you have to name him and believe in him for the magic to work?" "Yes, that's right". I could almost see the finish line. "Oh dear...well here's the thing. Mom doesn't believe in Elf-on-the-Shelf. They didn't exist when I was a girl, and well, it was just not one of the holiday traditions our family grew up with. I actually know someone like me - who also doesn't believe in them - she bought one last year regardless, and do you know what happened? She stuck in on the shelf, they named it, and the next day he was right there sitting exactly where they'd left him. The same thing happened the next night, and the next. Her kids were terribly disappointed." He stared at me, jaw dropping, then uttered, "Ohhhh...you have to BELIEVE. Well then that's not going to work, is it?" Case closed. Whimsical, energy-zapping, nightly elf portraiture averted for another year, hopefully indefinitely. All thanks to my (perceived) lack of faith.
Faith is a tricky and delicate word. For many, it evokes a highly religious tone, and is reserved for deep-seated discussions on life, death and the after-life. For some, faith is something we conjure up in times of duress, carefully balancing on its high wire, breath held, hoping we don't tip the scale and fall off. To others, faith is more of an annoyance, a reminder of things we neither feel nor feel the need to acknowledge. I spent the majority of my life in this last scenario, secure in my absence of faith. Then, through a series of hardships several years prior to my cancer diagnosis, I came to challenge my beliefs, fell flat in the face of faith and could refute it no more.
When my water broke at 27 weeks and I was told that 75% of women deliver within 24 hours, I said, "Well it's a good thing I am part of the 25% then." He was born at 31 weeks, tiny and perfect. Life was grand then, and grander still with the arrival of his sister two years later. Then, coinciding with the birth of my third child came a breast cancer diagnosis, and the insurmountable challenge of a year of chemo, surgery and radiation with 3 kids aged 4 and under. Interestingly, my faith diverted from a higher power to the scientific world. I believed 100% that treatment would work, and I welcomed its vile touch with a pure mind and an open heart. As much as I feared death that first year, I never truly believed that the cancer would kill me. Instead, I believed in the chemo, I believed in my medical team, and I believed in the life I had created for myself and my young family. I had faith in something, and therefore I had hope, hope that things would never be as bad as they had been. Hope became my focus, and I think it is why I am here today, about to enter 2017, the year that will denote my 5th Cancerversary. But hope has not come easily, and I have worked at it tirelessly every single day.
2016 has been hard on so many of you. Friends and family have suffered unimaginable loss, and others continue to fight silent battles we know nothing about. Others still, have been graced with another year which by all accounts should never have existed. There are those who have been blessed with the promise of new unions and new life, and those who have gone off in different directions. In 2016, I separated from my husband. It has been a year of chaos, heartache and surprise. I know we are all looking to the New Year for a fresh start and a new beginning. But how do we get there when it all seems too much? Let me ask you this:
When you are at your worst, what is it that makes it so unbearable? ls it the circumstances themselves, the way they make you feel, or is it the absence of the known? For me it has always been the latter. Not knowing what is about to unfold, and the lack of control that walks hand in hand with it, are what make me question myself and my ability to survive. It's the dreaded "fear of the unknown". During the almost 4 years since my treatment ended, not a day has gone by that I haven't feared a recurrence. This year, I struggled with ongoing cognitive impairments and physical challenges that made working full-time hours impossible and managing my household on a reduced salary very challenging. I have feared I couldn't "do it all" in my new, post-cancer existence.
But I've learned to acknowledge that fear. I look it up and down daily and regularly tell it to piss right off. I pushed fear aside when I took the decision to live as a single mother. I try not to linger on the not knowing bits, and turn my gaze to what I do know. I know that I don't know what's coming. I know that I'm stronger than I care to admit. I know that the world is filled to the brim with good people like you, but is overshadowed by a few bad eggs. Good things could be on their way, in fact they probably are already in the works. I keep faith in myself, in my dreams, in my life and in those closest to me, especially my children. By believing in these things, I have managed to plough through the dark times and stay afloat, one breath at a time. And that is truly something.
Whether you believe in Yourself, your God, Science, the Universe, or the magic of Christmas elves, the important thing is that you have Faith, faith that this moment, this day, this year will all pass, like the New Year, and that you are someone who was born, who was named, who was looked at in wonderment and anticipation, and who is living their life the best that they can.
My current cancer treatment, a teeny pill taken daily to stop recurrence, is sucking the life out of my bones. I've been putting off dealing with this inconvenient side effect, frozen by fear and doubt. But it's time to stop putting it on ice. We have a plan to thwart its path of destruction, and tomorrow I am turning up the heat and it is going down. Way down.
Let me back up just a bit and fill you in on what's been going on, and why I am heading back to the Cancer Centre tomorrow.
In March I met with my medical oncologist for my five-year post treatment follow up - FIVE YEARS out of active treatment! How strange to think that I no longer require regular follow up by the Cancer Centre. She explained that care would now be transferred to my family physician, and that I was in charge of following my care plan, a personalized holy grail put together by the Wellness Beyond Cancer program which lays out all of my treatments, surgeries and diagnostics to date, and flags when I sh…
Now that 12 days have passed since my first Taxotere infusion, I feel as though I can provide a fulsome report on the drug’s side effects and their affect on my life thus far.Taxotere round one differed drastically from my first AC treatment, in both positive and negative ways.Before I attempt to humour you with a little compare and contrast, I give you the final instalment of my short segment, entitled:
As it turns out, Neulasta is some serious medicine.I had my first injection the day after my last AC treatment, administered in my thigh, not in my stomach, as I’d been warned would be the case (read: Don’t believe everything you’re told!). For someone who neither enjoys nor fears needles, I can report that it did sting a fair bit going in, but the pain quickly subsided.It took about 12 hours before I had any kind of reaction to the drug.I was warned it could cause bone pain in some individuals, and this time the warnings rang true.It began in my hips the day …
It was late evening on March 21, 2012. I was standing on my front porch, surrounded by the chill night air, and listening to the melting creek bed whispering notes of spring. I had just left the hospital and my MRI and there was nothing to do now but wait, and live in this moment.
I stared up at our second storey windows. Inside, my children slept soundly, oblivious to the turmoil in their mother's mind. I turned my head to the baby's window. She stirred. There would be no nursing tonight, the MRI's contrast agent coursing through me had nixed that. At 15 days old, she was already getting used to my not being around. I wondered if this was to become a pattern. Would I be there to hear her first words, to see her first steps, and to watch her enter kindergarten? I was angry and determined to do away with most, if not all of these unknowns. I didn't know how I would do it, but I was going to give it my all.

The experience gained in the luxury market during almost ten years allows Maresca to launch a new ambitious project: the creation of Chiara Bellini luxury footwear brand.
The brand name is a tribute to Chiara Bellini, Technical Designer of the company and Giovanni Bellini's daughter - Mr Giovanni Bellini is the Chief Executive of Maresca, he manages the company together with his brother (and partner) Armando and his three children: Lorenzo, Michele and the aforementioned daughter Chiara. The choice of brand name Chiara Bellini brings to mind the Italian character of a 100% Made in Italy product.
The Chiara Bellini Brand is destined to the medium to high-end and luxury markets, and makes his debut with a bona fide collection for the Spring Summer 2015 collection, after a first trial run in the Russian market in 2013.
“The Chiara Bellini product”, - Chiara tells us, “- is a very meticulous product from a stylistic point of view and in its details, characterized by a combination of PVC with other materials, like leather and metallic accessories. The footwear line is completed by original ‘ball-shaped’ and ‘city’ bags, which are once again made of coloured PVC. Young women and men, who love to play and be daring with fashion, are the main targets of this line, but in the collection there are also products aimed at a certain ‘continuity’. These products are meant to be worn every day, either at the seaside or in the city, and are fashion products that are very far from the classic rain boot or beach sandal proposal”. |

INZANE SKINS are printed onto the industry's best medium-tack vinyl and once printed, there is a protective laminate put on top of the skin. This is to protect the graphic from wear and tear, and obviously, damage. The laminate does have a shine to it, so if you have no plans to clear coat over top of your skin, it'll still appear as if the design is under a clear coat, which is a nice bonus. Having said that, you CAN clear coat over top of the skins and finish it professionally, if you wish.

Orders shipped via First Class Mail arrive approximately 5 - 10 days from the day we ship it. Orders shipped outside of the U.S. by First Class Mail arrive approximately 14 - 21 days from when we ship it. First Class packages are NOT issued a tracking number, so understand that once we ship your package, we no longer have any control over it or when it will arrive. In the event that your package goes missing, we are not liable for your package. If overseas, we do recommend that you pay the additional money and ship using Priority Mail.

Ethereum Classic is a smart contract platform and ecosystem for decentralized applications and distributed computing. It was born due to a chain split on the original Ethereum blockchain. When the DAO-hack occurred, where 3.6m Ether was stolen, the Ethereum community discussed what to do.
Can Ethereum Classic be mined?
What differs Ethereum Classic from other Cryptocurrencies?
How much is Ethereum Classic worth today?
Where can you buy ETC?
Can ETC be sold for cash?
The majority favored a hard fork with the purpose of rendering the stolen Ether useless, but a small minority was strictly against it. They stated that “code is law” and it would be against the spirit of decentralized systems to “turn back time” and reverse the blockchain with the help of a 51% majority.
The hard fork happened, and Ethereum abandoned the old chain. The small minority forked off of the new Ethereum and decided to continue developing the old chain. This old chain is now known as Ethereum Classic; the ticker is ETC.
In July 2016, more specifically at block 1 920 000, the hard fork was executed. After the fork, the chains were split in two and since then act individually. Ethereum Classic became a parallel blockchain, where in contrast to Ethereum the stolen funds were never returned to their owners.
Yes, it is based on Proof-of-Work (PoW). The mining algorithm is Ethash, which is a modified version of the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm.
The main points that differ Ethereum Classic from his bigger counterpart are that its maximum supply is capped and that they don’t have the massive resources and industry support like their bigger brother.
The maximum supply of ETC is 230 000 000 and the circulating supply at the time of writing is 101 442 324 ETC.
You can buy ETC on several cryptocurrency exchanges, most notably Bithump, Binance, Upbit, Huobi, and OKEx.
You can sell ETC for cash on several cryptocurrency exchanges that have fiat-pairings, most notably Bithump and Bitfinex.
The ETC team is actively working on further development and scalability of their platform.
Also, they are focussed on finding ways to integrate Ethereum Classic in the growing sector of the Internet of Things. Additionally, they work on the “Emerald Platform,” which is a set of libraries and tools for third-party application developers.
5.5/10 What I like is that ETC capped their maximum supply, this creates SoV-characteristics. The downside is that ETH has far more resources, industry contacts, and partnerships than Ethereum Classic. This could lead to ETC being tailed off.
Another negative is that the stolen coins from the DAO-hack are still accessible for the hacker on the ETH chain. He currently holds 3.36 million ETC. The Ethereum foundation is also in possession of a massive amount of ETC, although they liquidated 90% of their position which they acquired through the hard fork. But there 10% is still a big enough number to move the market. |
As we continue to ramp up our sister woodworking company … KÄRV … we continue to demonstrate and prove our mantras for our Kipware® machine shop software. Metalworking operations … woodworking operations … both have a lot of similarities and requirements and we continue to prove our Kipware® real world machine shop design and features in our now real world woodworking environment.
We recently blogged regarding how we utilize our KipwareCYC® and KipwareQTE® machine shop cycletime and cost estimating software to estimate retail costs for some of our wood products. If you missed it … see the full article HERE.
We are also proving our “not every job requires a CAD/CAM system” programming mantra at KÄRV as well. We recently put our KipwareM® – conversational CNC programming software for milling … to work on a shop floor programming project we were working on in the KÄRV workshop. If you haven’t read our article on shop floor programming vs. CAD/CAM programming … it’s quite the eye-opener … you can read the full article HERE.
We came up with an idea for a unique clock design that featured a quartz clock movement inside a slice of an oak log. To house the clock body … we needed to mill a 3″ diameter hole in the slice … and we wanted to use our X-Carve CNC router to mill the hole. Simple enough … and it really illustrates how a simple programming project could turn into an overblown programming project if we were to use a CAD/CAM program to create that G code program.
In a CAD/CAM system we would have had to first create a drawing … why? … and then use that drawing to create the toolpath. Some extra steps that would not only cost us time but that time expense has to go somewhere and that would mean additional labor costs associated with the cost of the clock … which would eventually be for sale on our website. Want one … get it HERE !!
So we started KipwareM® … no drawing required … and with a couple of fill-in-the-blank forms completed … we had our G code program to rough pocket and finish mill … using a helical milling routine … the 3″ hole needed to mount the clock movement. Here are some screenshots of the forms … simple, plain english, fill-in-the-blank forms with tons of machining options that created a quick and efficient toolpath … no drawing nor drawing time required Bang bang done !!
As I mentioned we roughed the pocket using a pocketing routine … but we finished the side walls using a helical type cutting routine. Very easy to create in KipwareM® and posted out using KipwareXC® with our X-Carve Profile. We sent the G code and drove the X-Carve using the Universal G Code Sender application. The results were outstanding and the fit for the clock movement was perfect … first shot.
Needless to say we saved ourselves a ton of time by not having to create a drawing and by using our shop floor programming ( not CAD/CAM programming ) model and KipwareM®. We did the programming right at the machine … no expensive CAD/CAM system required and no drawing or CAD/CAM experience required.

The civic body announced on Monday that the flower show at Sabarmati Riverfront will continue till January 31 now. Earlier it was to end on January 22.

They had ssured that the duration of the show woul dbe extended if required. While the extension will please Amdavadis, only the show at the Flower Garden has been extended, not the one at the Event Centre. This means that people will only be able to view the exhibits, including plants and floral sculptures, not purchase anything.

A year and a half ago, Michal Tsuk experienced a horrific tragedy: her 11-year-old son Ido was killed while riding his bike to a tennis lesson.
Alongside the new joy which has come into the world, there is not a day that passes that the Tsuk family doesn’t remember Ido. “It’s important for me to emphasize that our Ido, unfortunately, will never return, but he is still with us every single day. The longing for him doesn’t let go. The wonderful baby who was born won’t replace him, he is always with us. But life must continue– in spite of the terrible tragedy which we have experienced as a family.
Anyone who thinks that a family who has a baby after a child has died, or even worse after losing children that the baby is a “replacement” is an absolute idiot. Anyone who tells a parent that their new baby is a “replacement” should be dropped kicked down the hall.
Nothing replaces such a loss, Chas V”sholom, but the Mom’s attitude is to focus on life. The new life adds positive energy and focus to our lives. It can help us heal from the wounds. May they have much nachas from all their children.
much nachas, good health, parnassah and joy in abundance.
To lose a child is probably one of the most painful things that can happen to a person. This family will never forget the son they lost. They choose to focus on life and love. May G-d bless them! And all of us!
May we see Mashiach soon!!! And may all of our pain and suffering come to an end.
We all have to remember to focus on the positive in our lives, even in our darkest moments. |

Kevin Froese, on deck at left, of Mennonite Disaster Service, speaks during the Aug. 23 dedication of the first of 11 houses to be completed by ecumenical volunteers after last year’s Carlton Complex Fire in Washington. The house was framed by the Amish from Montana, the MDS and United Methodists finished the interior.
From left, Linda Robinson, Clint Baker and Nancy Baker are among the volunteers providing meals and shelter to residents finding refuge from wildfires at Pateros Community United Methodist Church in Washington.
Last summer, a wildfire scorched the back of Pateros Community United Methodist Church in Washington State and burned down its parsonage.
This August, as fires once again devastate the drought-plagued western U.S., the church in Pateros is open 24 hours a day to those in need of shelter, food and a place to escape the smoke.
Volunteers from throughout the denomination’s Pacific Northwest Conference, which encompasses Washington and 10 counties in the northern panhandle of Idaho, have been assisting “from Day 1,” said Jim Truitt, who has served as the conference’s United Methodist Volunteers in Mission disaster response coordinator for the past nine years.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief recently distributed wildfire-related emergency grants to both the Pacific Northwest and California-Nevada conferences.
Sparked by lightning without rain and aided by high winds and tinder-dry brush and trees, single fires in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties have merged into “complex” infernos.
Even before that point, the Washington wildfires claimed the lives of three firefighters with the U.S. Forest Service and injured four others when shifting flames overtook a fire crew Aug. 19 after their vehicle had crashed.
One of them, Andrew Zajac, 26, was the son of the Rev. Mary Zajac, senior pastor at Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles, Illinois, and her husband, Jim Zajac. The family, including his wife, Jennifer, released a video statement about him.
Richard “Rick” Wheeler, 31, was a member of First United Methodist Church in Wenatchee, Washington, where the pastor, the Rev. Joanne Coleman Campbell, comforted his wife, Celeste, after she received news of his death.
Tom Zbyszewski, 20, the third firefighter who died, had just finished his sophomore year at Whitman College in Walla Walla and was spending his second summer with the U.S. Forest Service, where his parents also have worked.
A memorial service for all three firefighters is planned at 1p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, in Wenatchee.
Residents evacuating from those fires to the north and the Chelan Complex fire to the south have fled to Pateros and Brewster, where the Red Cross has opened a shelter.
Most of the people currently seeking shelter at the church are from the north and came with animals that aren’t allowed at the Red Cross shelter. As of mid-day on Aug. 25, three families were in residence, but the numbers fluctuate. “In 20 minutes, I could have 50 people at the door,” Lane said.
Truitt dispatched six clergy and lay persons to Pateros last week to offer support and “simply provide a presence” until the fire chaplains could arrive. He delivered some needed supplies — underwear, toothpaste and gas cards — to the church shelter over the weekend.
Part of the anxiety, Truitt said, is that it often takes a long time to learn what has been lost or saved. “The fires are so severe and the smoke is so thick the assessors simply can’t tell them the status of their homes,” he explained.
Just a year ago, the Carlton Complex fire was the largest wildfire in state history and volunteers continue to work on long-term recovery plans.
On Aug. 23, the first two of 11 houses to be rebuilt this year were dedicated even as smoke filled the air, said Truitt, who participated in the ceremony.
“The Amish poured the foundation and framed the house and the Mennonites finished the inside with some help from the Methodists,” he wrote on the conference’s UMVIM Facebook page.
The Rev. Stanley Norman —who serves as co-chair for disaster response with the Rev. Gerri Harvill — believes the Pacific Northwest Conference is better prepared because of last year’s experience.
Money from the conference’s disaster response account was used to help fund disaster case management, with Cathy Earl of UMCOR providing training to 27 individuals last October, several of whom were hired by the long-term recovery group. “That was really an important step and we’ll probably be calling on those same case managers,” Norman said.
More than 50 percent of state residents affected by wildfires are unable to secure fire insurance and receive no federal or state funds, Norman noted, so they depend on nonprofit and faith groups for assistance. |

Enrollment data is collected from depts/colleges every year by the Statistical Cell of DR Colleges. In the absence of IT support/resources and proper controls, it was difficult for them to ensure the quality. MIS/IQAC Cell took initiatives to compile the Master List of courses (year-wise) from Handbook of Information and other sources. It was ensured that all faculties, all departments, and all courses are included. Steps have been taken by MIS/IQAC Cell to improve the quality of data to ensure completeness and correctness of data
Earlier, during data compilation for various surveys, data collected from various sources (e.g. manual results, computerized results, departmental results etc) would be summed up and sent. In the absence of any common list of courses it was difficult to ensure whether data about all the courses have been included. The format for data collection was prepared with pre-filled courses, and DR (Exams) was requested to send the data in that format. The pre-filled data saved their time too, and at the same time ensured completeness of data and verification of courses at the same time.
Data about Researchers is collected at various sources like R&S Branch, General Branch, Secrecy Branch, Thesis Section etc. Meetings were held with the concerned dealings, format of data studied, problems and communication gaps were identified. MIS/IQAC took the source data (in MS Word format) from R&S Branch and converted it into MS Excel format for data analysis and has identified the data flow from enrollment till award of degree. The various result notifications (of syndicate) about award of PhD are in MS-Word format and contain useful information about researchers. Efforts are on to streamline the process in this direction and to get quality data/information about research statistics.
Data storage and collection procedures have been refined to cater various national and international surveys. The information layout has been useful for internal purpose as well. Templates have been designed to collect data about various other activities like International Students data/MoUs signed by PU etc.
