This pub is now called The Old School House.
Semi decent large chain type pub. It has a huge outside seating area out front, which is quite difficult to find in Glasgow.
Normally there would be no way I'd choose such an establishment, but we were meeting friends with kids and also dogs, so this place pretty much suited our needs as we could all sit outside.
Aspalls cider on draught, but no real ale available, which was a let down.
Slight lack of foresight on the part of the management. Plenty of outside TV screens to show Andy Murray against Federer in the sunshine. But, when showing a Scotsman in a Wimbledon final in a pub in Glasgow, it's probably wise to have more than 2 staff serving. I waited 30 minutes to get served at one point.
The Doublet, just yards away is a good pub. | 2019-04-21T10:54:58 | http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/41/41544/Primary/Glasgow |
I recently led a session at the eResearch Australasia conference on the ethics of AI in higher education. It is a big topic to handle, and I’m pretty new to this stuff, but the conversation went pretty well, and the awareness of both AI and ethics is high in this community. The ethical challenges posed by AI are significant, but the benefits are also great, and it is vital for educators and citizens to be aware of both. Here are some of the key points made by the audience (and I am pursuing the topic, so will post some more later on).
After many false dawns, AI may be gaining traction. Chatbots, Natural Language Processing, robots, autonomous vehicles, and the combination of big data and AI are all findings applications in a myriad of commercial, educational and other contexts. AI was once about explicit commands; what you put in is what you got out, but now it is largely about machine learning and big data, about machines that not only learn, but also make decisions. This is behind a number of new and emergent applications in medicine, transport and education that hold great promise but also ethical challenges.
In particular, it is an ability to ‘make decisions’ that poses numerous ethical dilemmas; can an autonomous Volvo car chose to collide with either a pedestrian or a dog ‘ethically’; can a Google chatbot impersonate a human for nefarious purposes, and can an autonomous military drone decipher images of illicit activity and then take autonomous action? These are not dystopian projections of a sci-fi future, rather these ethical issues that exist now well within the province of AI and its applications.
Whilst ethicists have provided critique, debate, and numerous ethical frameworks for an AI future, (indeed the Australian Government has just proposed a “technology roadmap, a standards framework and a national AI Ethics Framework”, and regulation in the space), higher education has been relatively quiet in terms of debating the impacts of AI on teaching and research and the broader HE education system. Indeed, while AI applications are not yet fully realised in research, this could opportune time to think about them, before they are (and this change could occur quite rapidly as did the use of data in research across both the humanities and the sciences).
Some of the ethical issues posed include the stalwart of IT ethics, being privacy, but also new issues arise, particularly around transparency and the interpretation of data using machine learning and how these interpretations may influence later research findings, be credited as research work, and indeed impact upon broader society. This is a particularly difficult issue as AI does afford many benefits in terms of the researcher’s ability to deal with the scale and complexity of big data, but there are things that machines are good at and things that people do better, and this intersection of machine and people intelligence, including ethical decision making, needs to be considered from the very emergence of AI in research.

Now a whole thing is different! I was thinking DISM command was running successfully & telling some error in the results but it seems DISM Command stucks & does not run even! So even SURT can't do anything. The problem appeared with applying DISM Commands but it is all different. An all different system problem! Am i right ?
We should give her some credit ? How she is still firm about using DISM or the problem is appearing just because Microsoft's DISM can't run on Win 7 ? If the case is just that Microsoft's DISM can't run on win 7 it is not a problem at all ?
Now i am thinking she should check with DISM++ & tell what happens ?
Quick question, is there a way to remove DISM from my computer and reinstall it? Not sure if that would solve my problem but it may be worth a shot. I actually noticed the problem when I had the KB already installed on my computer but noticed it in my windows updates, I don't know why on earth it installed it again but it did and just like the first time it got stuck on install so I cancelled it. Thinking maybe it might have messed it up somehow.
C:\Windows\Servicing\Version\ and what files are in those directories?
Posts are happening concurrently, They all should be integrated well before any conclusion!
As said earlier, go thoroughly with that MS link.
2. Parallel to that try to find out / work out the other system problem.
3. You should try DISM++ as well.
4. You said DISM & SURT are same what is that ?? !!
5. You should also go through that EightForums link to understand the things better. As i am looking at your confidence, I think DISM works with win 7 partially & not in full as in win 8 or win 10. I am not sure.
Hello Roy, My CBS log is great..no errors and in the C:\Windows\Servicing\Version\ there are 2 files..6.17601.23505 with amd64_64 installed and a x86_installed inside the folder the other folder is 6.1.7601.24383 with nothing in the folder.
Here is the final results of my CBS Log and the rest of it looks the same, it's all good.
Thank you so much Vineet , I really appreciate all your help. I am hoping to get the DISM working.
Dism /Image: D:\offline /Cleanup-Image /Source:C:\windows, where D: is the drive letter that points to your unserviced HDD, and C: points to the main HDD of the second computer. | 2019-04-23T16:15:36 | https://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/418964-dism-error-3-when-trying-run-scanhealth-2.html?s=6ca34feeaa753cd382fd350607db5182 |

Well, I just broke my record again I think.
It's been 17 minutes since I finished the last enhancement. Within this 17 minutes, I blogged about my previous enhancement and then completed a new enhancement.
There's a 'Submit Resume' link next to each job's position number now. When you click on that, it passes the position number to the Submit Resume page and it pre-fills the message body of the form with a statement that the person is interested in the noted position number.
I had to go into Debug mode to make sure that I'd be able to get "PositionNumber" from the querystring. I did, and it worked like a charm.
I am really digging DotNetNuke! | 2019-04-26T04:20:23 | https://jeffhandley.com/2008-01-30/an-even-faster-enhancement |
If userenv.dll is missing and your’re getting an error this guide will help you fix this not found userenv.dll file. Works for Windows 10, 8, 7 64 & 32 bit.
Free download userenv.dll file that is missing on your computer to fix the error.
If you’re having an userenv.dll error and the file is missing you are going to get next errors when running your program or a game. Here are listed the most common messages that users are getting when they encounter an error with the missing userenv.dll file.
This application failed to start because userenv.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
The file userenv.dll is missing.
Cannot start the program. A required component is missing: userenv.dll. Please install the program again.
Sometimes Windows doesn’t even work properly due to the missing or corrupted userenv.dll file. So to fix it you have to download the file (it’s free!) and place it where it should be on your computer. Read the installation guide down below which is going to help you with userenv.dll errors.
userenv.dll is located in Windows\System32 folder or Windows\SysWOW64 folder. It is required to be installed there in any Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7 and Vista versions.
These easy steps should fix your issue with missing userenv.dll that isn’t found in your system.
Sometimes you or any program could delete userenv.dll. In this case open Recycle Bin and check if the file is here. If yes then right click on it and chose “Restore”. That will fix your missing error.
Download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package from official Windows website. userenv.dll is a part of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package so downloading and installing it should fix the errors.

Install any available Windows updates. Sometimes Microsoft updates Windows files and an update may contain userenv.dll that is not found.
Check your system with antivirus. You may use any Antivirus you find. If you have none we strongly recommend to get one but for a one time run you may use DrWeb CureIt. It is very efficient in looking for SpyWare of MailWare that might cause userenv.dll error by simply deleting or corrupting the file.
The latest option would be perform a clean Windows installation that will fix your system and update it to the latest version. But use this as the last option if none of the suggestions above didn’t help you fix the missing userenv.dll. | 2019-04-24T12:19:22 | http://founddll.com/userenv-dll/ |
Solar Powered Cars - Page 5 of 5 - The first solar cars made their appearance in the late 1970’s. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the first completely powered solar car was developed in 1984 by Greg Johanson and Joel Davidson.
Solar powered cars are a smart way to stop spending all your hard earned cash at the gas pump. When you purchase a solar powered car, you’ll be getting your fuel from one source – the sun. Hundreds of photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. Surprisingly enough, just one cell can produce a half volt of electricity. Each cell is carefully placed on the surface of your car to effectively capture the sun’ says. This energy is stored in batteries that are used to power the vehicle.
The vehicles are extremely lightweight are are extremely practical. They are both safe and convenient. Solar powered cars are able to produce their full rated power at any speed which is a huge advantage. Going this route will help you save thousands on gas year in and year out. Plus you’ll be helping to improve environmental conditions by reducing your personal carbon footprint. Dramatically reducing the use of fossil fuels will have an astounding impact on the world.
New designs are constantly being introduced to world, while technological advances make solar powered cars more and more attractive. Solar energy is renewable and not endanger of running out like fossil fuels. There’s a race against time to create solar powered vehicles that will be affordable and practical for everyone no matter what their budget. They are a great way to begin reversing some of the damage caused to the planet through the use of fossil fuels. You owe it to yourself to learn as much as possible about solar powered cars. Just give it some thought.
Is a Solar Powered Car Right for You?
If you are thinking of upgrading your car to a clearer emissions car, then there are a few things you should know. These cars are not cheap but with government refunds and the tax credits you can get from going green that you can receive from the federal government, you can save a great deal of money when you decide tom go green with your car.
First thing you need to know about buying a green car is you have to price out the car you want to get. Knowing the car you want to get will help you out when you are purchasing a car. Solar panel powered cars can be found in Japan and are being tested in the deserts of the United States.
The second thing about solar paneled cars that is beneficial to all it is because of the fact that it burns renewable energy source. The suns’ rays power the car in order to get it to move down the road at good speeds. Some of these cars can reach speeds of 70 mph. these cars are improving with the technology increasing in today’s age.
Another benefit of getting a hybrid or solar panel cars is the tax rebates and other government refunds you can get from buying a green car. Some of the tax rebates will greatly help you out when it becomes tax time. The rebates and additional breaks can come in handy when you need a break with your income. These deals are all over the place, you just need to do a little research before you buy your green car. | 2019-04-23T20:38:05 | http://www.solarpoweredcars.net/page/5 |
Open weave fruit/vegetable bag (Hiperadobe) on polypropylene gravel-bag foundation.
Close-up view of raschel mesh bags used for Hiperadobe.
My initial impressions are very favorable: extremely tough, no ‘give’ or stretch when pulled by hand and no sign of tearing during tamping. It has ideal working properties for earthbag walls in virtually every regard. In addition, the material looks almost identical to shade cloth that’s used to shade plants in nurseries and plant stores except it lacks the glossy coating. More testing is needed to determine its ultraviolet (UV) resistance.
So now we have another standard, commercially available product that works perfectly either by itself or in conjunction with poly bags. This to me is a game-changer, folks. Anyone sitting on the sidelines can now use this improved system to reduce costs and labor, and speed construction. I encourage everyone to buy a few bags and test this out. Your results may vary. We’ve already had one report of very weak vegetable bags.
– The bags are probably less expensive, because the merchant at the farmer’s market sold me the bags at less cost than poly bags, even though they were in perfect condition. I’ll report on the cost once I find the supplier.
Both Kelly Hart and I see this as a major development for earthbag building. The only drawback we can think of is some loose fill material like sand, rice hulls or crusher fines will fall out of the openings.
I never thought I would be so excited about new developments in soil filled bags.
Though I would probably still use the poly bags if using rice hulls/volcanic materials for an outer layer of insulation.
Perhaps the Supplier could be asked to make a run of bags with slightly tighter weave and maybe even denser strands specifically for earthbag building??
Anything is possible, but I’m sure that would raise the cost.
Here is an American manufacturer. This product is only 9 1/2 inches wide, but as they make raschel bags, perhaps they can supply wider tubes as well, if they know there is a market for it.
Here is the manufacturer in Brazil that has the mesh tube that was specially developed for hyperadobe.
The only thing is that now they said they will only produce this again if there is a big order….
Thanks, Paula. But it’s okay, there are lots of other suppliers.
How well do you think this would work with crushed cinders/ scoria? Have you found a US source? | 2019-04-23T12:26:52 | https://earthbagbuilding.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/open-weave-fabric-ideal-working-properties/ |

Make it known from the first day of the semester that the classroom is a judgement free, ego-free space where everyone can safely explore ideas. You could even make it one of the 'class rules' --- I have several that I cover on the first day. I have had students remind fellow students of this ego-free mandate during the course of the semester. It sets a tone for collaboration from the onset.
Another method I use to 'set the tone' of the class is to play music before class starts. I play a random assortment of music from Pandora Radio, or music that shares a theme with the subject matter of the class, and/or ask the students for suggestions. I have noticed that when I play music before class it encourages friendly banter between students (as opposed to them sitting fixated on their phones or with earphones in etc.) Speaking of friendly banter - I always try and arrive well before class officially starts and talk informally with the students. If you know their interests and ambitions you can reference these in class as examples and scenarios.
I 'try' and limit my presentations to no more than 20 minutes; I say 'try' because sometimes this doesn't work. I like to talk. If I know I have a long presentation, I try and punctuate the presentation with questions and activities to break 'the lecture' into chunks.
I put class PowerPoint slides online for the students to download: that way they can focus on the class, activities, and conversation, rather than feverishly writing down every word from the slides. Needless to say, writing every word on the PowerPoint is not effective note-taking (see Cornell Note Taking and other solo activities) That is one of the reasons I have reduced the amount of words of my slides (if I use them at all!) Often my slides are just an image with no words --- the image primarily serves as a reminder of what I want to talk about.
If you ask a question and want the students to answer, pause longer for the answer than you expect --- tell the students you will wait.... (this is sometimes much longer than feels comfortable). I always tell the students that "I will wait"; I even had one student once say to me, after a rather lengthy uncomfortable silence in the class, "are you doing that 'wait' thingo?" Embrace the silence. Some students need time to formulate their responses in their heads or on paper before they will speak in a public setting. I have also heard that some professors will say " I will wait to until five hands are raised before we proceed." Pausing in class encourages students to think or reflect on the subject matter.
Don't let one or two students answer (dominate) all the questions --- quieter students will rely on the vocal ones to answer all the questions and they will stop trying. I was that student who was quick to answer and once a professor said to me "Catharina, let's let other students answer this one" - at first I was upset, but later I realized that hearing everyone's voice is important. I think I learned to be a better listener as a result.
Break the students into small groups for discussion.
In my experience, students who are facing one another, as opposed to looking at the back of each other's heads, are more likely to communicate. Try rearranging the seating (see Up and Moving!).
Another cool exercise introduced to me by Dr. John August at the Wakonse South Conference is Fortunately, Unfortunately. Dr August explains: "I usually talk about a topic in a mini-lecture, stop, and then ask the students these two questions in an alternating way. My students seemed to enjoy the exercise once they understood what I wanted from them. I was pleasantly surprised that they chose to share important concepts, rather than pieces of trivia."
And how do you stop them talking and regain control and silence in the room?
I have always used a variation of this methodology - but saw it really work in a very very large class setting at a teaching conference I attended. When you want the students to quieten down and regroup as a large class, raise you hand in the air. The students are instructed that when they see a raised hand they should raise their own hand... this works like a wave across the crowd and quickly quietens the room. | 2019-04-24T21:48:14 | https://sites.google.com/a/tamu.edu/claporte/active-learning/get-em-talking |
Retirement is expensive. Supplementing social security income has become a reality faced by many retirees and future generations. Therefore, early planning for retirement is essential. During this process, it is important to be aware of and understand the savings vehicles specifically designed for retirement in Puerto Rico.
In Puerto Rico there are various Treasury Department-qualified vehicles through which contributions are tax-deferred until retirement. These include Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs); 1165(e) Plans and Keogh Plans.
Individuals aiming to maximize their savings for retirement whose salaries account for 100 percent of their income can make annual contributions to an IRA or 1165(e) Plan. Self-employed individuals have the option of making annual contributions to IRAs and Keogh Plans. A Keogh Plan is a type of qualified retirement plan available for self-employed individuals, owners of unincorporated businesses, owners of more than 10 percent of a special partnership or a corporation of individuals, or individuals who earn a substantial portion of their income through self-employment. The maximum annual deductible contribution is up to 25 percent of the net income, with a limit of $53,000 for the taxable year ending on December 31st, 2015, whichever is less. Depending on the tax rate, Keogh Plans can deliver savings of up to 33 percent. Once established, contributions may be made until the tax return deadline for the applicable tax year, including any extensions.
Funds contributed to the plan are taxed when the participant receives them. The tax is determined according to whether the funds are disbursed in a lump sum or in partial payments. Funds received in a lump sum can be taxed at a special rate for capital gains while partial payments are taxed as ordinary income.
Keogh Plans are established through a trust. It is important to note that such a trust is considered a separate legal entity that provides additional protection against third-party claims. The trust receives the contributions, which can then be invested prudently. The trust is exempt from paying taxes on income generated by the investments.
For plans with more than one participant, federal regulations require that fiduciaries managing any plan that covers employees must exercise care, skill, prudence, and diligence when selecting investments. Among the factors that should be taken into consideration when making investments are: maintaining sufficient liquidity to allow the disbursement of benefits for participants who retire or resign; diversification to minimize the risk of losses; and seeking alternatives aimed at providing predictable growth without undue risks.
The type of plan is selected according to the specific circumstances of the individual or entity establishing it. Qualified types include pension, stock option and profit sharing plans. Pension plans can either be defined as benefit plans or defined contribution plans. We recommend the evaluation of vehicles such as Keogh Plans as part of your tax planning in conjunction with planning for retirement and the protection of assets. An important final point to note is that Keogh Plans, as with any other qualified retirement plan, must be established before the end of the taxable year of the participating individual or entity. The fiduciary services experts in Banco Popular’s Wealth Management division can work along with your financial advisors to help define the retirement strategies that fit you best.
The content of this material is for informational purposes only and is not intended as tax advice. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, its subsidiaries or affiliates, do not engage in the offering of tax, legal or accounting advice. If legal, tax, or accounting assistance is required, the service of a competent professional should be sought. The contributions made to a Keogh Plan may be invested on investment products. Investment products are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by Banco Popular de Puerto Rico or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates. Investment products involve risks, including the possible loss of the invested principal.
Contributions in excess of the deductible limit will pay a tax equivalent to 10% even if the non-deductible contribution is not claimed as a deduction on your income tax return. For 2015, the maximum annual employer and employee contribution amount per participant will be the lesser of $53,000 or 100% of the participant’s Compensation. Also, the maximum compensation per participant to be used for determining contributions to the Plan shall not exceed $265,000.00. | 2019-04-26T02:40:12 | https://popularone.com/keogh-plans-a-long-term-benefit/ |
As the Merced County Spring Fair prepares to enter its 125th year, fair management is striving to continue in the face of budget cuts.
About three years ago, the state stopped funding the fair system. Local businessmen and the Merced County Spring Fair Heritage Foundation have stepped in to raise enough funds to continue to pay out more than $40,000 in prize money to youth for projects ranging from ag mechanics to livestock.
Fundraisers have also been critical in operating the fair and attracting talent.

Here is my second track, Rabócsiring. Again a rallycross track from Hungary.
Because it is used for gokart racing too, I included 2 layouts for that type of racing. One is used in general gokart events, another is used in the National Events.
On the gokart track I made the AI lines for original Gokart.

A very nice track! I very like the Go-Kart versions, but you could make 2 more versions (National and GP without the curves at the beginning ). The farm and the parking lots are very good.
Well-made effort from you I like the style of the dithering and whole track, it reminds me of BBA style which I really like It really has chance for ToM!
@Roberto: Maybe I'll do the layouts and update the post. Depends on my freetime. | 2019-04-23T00:58:42 | http://forum.generally-racers.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4437 |

Thanks, Carole, glad you like the post. It almost beggars belief that Einstein could have come up with this level of theoretical complexity – and be proved correct in practice so much later as a result of this amazing achievement.
thanks for the comment – don’t quite understand why it’s a repeat of Severne’s….
I knew that you’d comment on yesterday’s events. At first, I couldn’t understand how they could achieve a photo of a black hole, since photos depend on light, no light can escape from a black hole, etc. etc. Then, I at least figured out that it’s not an image of the black hole itself, but of the “event horizon” surrounding it. Obviously, more research is necessary on my part!
It’s just so phenomenal, in so many ways — and it certainly points out how far the younger generations have come in using new technologies that people my age find as mysterious as black holes! | 2019-04-22T02:49:58 | https://astrologyquestionsandanswers.com/2019/04/10/pluto-the-nodes-and-a-black-hole-revealed/?shared=email&msg=fail |

It should be pointed out that the networks are not channels per se they incorporate numerous channels across diverse broadcast media such as news, weather, documentaries, action film channels, reality Television and so forth. Like the Huge Ten Network, the channel does not subscribe to Nielsen so there are never ever any ratings released. Then they obtain full manage of an additional sport and one more sport, and just before you know it, no one can enjoy any sports for free of charge anymore. And even within every segment, the ratings can vary wildly based on season, interest, national events (elections, NFL, NBA, main news developments, geopolitical events) and others. In my opinion, this channel works far better as it is in it’s present state (in the U.S.): Net-delivered network/connected Television app.
You can share posts, pictures, and videos with your pals and family members, and you can also stick to people you don’t know (like celebrities, your favourite writers, sports stars) like you do on Twitter. Thanks to the destruction of the old Huge East and the new leagues raised in its location, CBS Sports Network has benefitted tremendously while spending a pittance.

It is possible Van Gogh sold a painting whilst alive. There is rumour of the dealer Pere Tanguy selling one for a few francs in Paris. But whether he did or he didn’t, throughout his life Vincent survived solely on the monthly cheques from his brother Theo.
Initially, his ambition was to be a draughtsman. He had come to painting late, and his sister always thought he should be a baker. But as his talent flowered, his commercial opportunities withered. As the art dealer Tersteeg often told Vincent, he wasn’t doing what people wanted, which is unfortunate if you’re freelance.
After a fascinating stay in London, where he was first a school teacher and then an aspiring missionary, painting took over Vincent’s life, eventually taking him away from the cold winds of Holland to Paris, where he met the impressionist community. But it was only when he left there in some despair and travelled to Arles in the South of France that he truly came alive as a painter, living in the famous Yellow House. Here he found the sun; and here also the famous ear-cutting incident occurred, which took him for a while to a mental asylum.
He shot himself aged 37. In his life, he quoted Palissy with approval: ‘Poverty prevents good minds succeeding.’ We understand; but of course Van Gogh didn’t paint with his mind.

Brainstorming is a valuable technique when an organization must develop the plan for a large-scale or complex project or an enduring program for which there are ambiguous mission parameters, multiple constituencies, and multiple references—or worse, none—to guide the enterprise. Brainstorming helps staff generate ideas, solutions and action steps to inform the venture. It also supports the building of strong, engaged teams.
Typical issues that might lend themselves to an organization’s use of brainstorming are doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities assessments; after-action reviews; and examining ways to free up “white space” on the unit calendar.
When now-retired Col. Darrell Katz was given the unenviable task of closing Flint Kaserne in Bad Toelz, Germany, by July 1991 and relocating the organizations based there, he employed brainstorming to generate a robust set of action steps to ensure the move was conducted with the least disruption.
Returning control of a U.S. base to the German government, and moving the unit and families, were formidable tasks. Armed with very little in the way of guidance other than an order to close Flint and a date for turnover, Katz’s team set to work.
His unique employment of inclusive brainstorming, and his insights into managing complex and long-range tasks, resulted in a plan that included input from many constituencies; enjoyed “buy-in” by the organizations, members and families involved; and incorporated management activities that ensured all activities were completed on time.
If you are considering a brainstorming session, review the brainstorming rules of the road. Don’t assume that everyone understands the process and will abide by the rules. Without a brief discussion of the fundamentals and routine reminders of the guidelines, the brainstorming process will be disrupted because ideas will be judged and distracting discussions will begin. The use of a skilled facilitator can help in the execution.
Soldiers from the 1st Armored Division discuss patrol tactics in Iraq in 2009.
One question that should be asked early in the process is, “Who else should be part of this planning team?” Also, a key to an effective session is to ask the right question in the right way. The brain will go to work on any question asked. For example, when asked “Why can’t we…?” the brain will churn and provide a long list of reasons why you can’t. If the question is framed, “How can we…?” the brain will work just as hard on providing a comprehensive list of activities to solve that puzzle.
A business consultant once told me that in most situations, all the information that an organization needs to solve a problem already resides in the employees. His task was giving voice to the employees who had the knowledge and skills, and teasing the information out for the managers.
When an executive begins to express opinions too early in the process or to overrule recommendations, the brainstorming climate is dampened and the buy-in is less than optimal. In brainstorming, the process is more important than the plan.
Buy-in is a critical element in executing a plan. “People support a world they helped create,” according to Dale Carnegie, the famous public speaker on self-improvement. The more involved an individual is in crafting a solution or developing a plan, the more energetically he or she will support the final plan of action.
Including seasoned members of lower-echelon organizations along with junior officers and enlisted personnel helps an organization create linkages of support throughout the unit. This increases the conviction that all voices were heard and concerns addressed.
In the case of Flint Kaserne, the plan required seemingly endless tasks. A short list included selecting the future home from a handful of available bases that would be vacated in the overall reduction of U.S. forces in Germany; identifying requirements and coordinating adequate family housing, headquarters, team rooms and barracks; arranging for training to continue until the last possible day before movement and re-commencing immediately after moving; and identifying and coordinating social and official events in support of the movement to the next home.
As the project owner, Katz used what in a civilian context might be called focus groups. He included several constituencies from outside the normal planning staff. After the staff had developed the basic plan and timeline of activities using the time-honored reverse-planning process, these other constituencies were invited to offer their insights. They often identified activities that were not normally at the top of the mind of the project manager.
These voices included personnel from facilities and organizations such as dining facility, motor pool and arms room; commissary and exchange; and medical and dental clinics. Spouses provided their concerns; the unique requirements of special-needs children were also addressed. Key civilian leaders from Bad Toelz were consulted. Flint Kaserne leaders met with the counterparts of those civilian friends at the new communities.
As the search for a new home narrowed, engineers and security personnel were consulted to determine the suitability of each potential home for the 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group. Would the upper floors support the safes? Could elevators be constructed to facilitate movement of heavy team gear?
Well-facilitated planning sessions should result in a comprehensive list of activities for the key staff to arrange and sequence in the most logical order. The input of these constituents informed a robust plan that was designed to execute all the activities while maintaining a rigorous training schedule, with the least disruption in the unit’s operations tempo and home life.
Most projects don’t fail because of poor planning; they fail due to faulty execution. As one sage remarked, “Even a hole has to be managed.” Brainstorming to determine the action steps for managing the execution will pay dividends. It’s difficult to grumble about the management of an activity when you have a hand in creating the management plan.
There is a tendency to develop what project management guru Eliyahu M. Goldratt described in the book Critical Chain as the student syndrome: building in safety factors and then waiting until the last minute to work on a project. Leaders need to be aware of these safety nets and squeeze this excess from the plan during the development stage.
Using a simple plan of activities and milestones (POAM), an executive can easily determine the status of a project and make corrections early. A well-constructed POAM for executive-level management of a project includes four elements: a no-later-than deadline; the task, simply stated; who is responsible for the task; and comments or notes such as what must happen before this activity can be acted upon.
To maximize the effect, the senior leader should be the project owner. Ownership by the rater encourages attention and support of all departments. Katz, by word and deed, left no doubt who was in charge.
Katz’s participation and continued interest ensured that energy levels remained high throughout the execution phase. There is magic in the executive showing personal interest. Attending the meetings sends a clear signal that this project is important to the leader.
However, the executive will probably not be involved in the day-to-day execution of the activities; the project manager ensures activities remain on schedule between meetings with the executive. The project manager also conducts supplemental meetings to discuss and coordinate activities.
Vermont Army National Guard soldiers plan a field training exercise at Fort Drum, N.Y.
1st Infantry Division soldiers brainstorm at Fort Knox, Ky.
As the project comes to a close, take the opportunity to review and analyze what went right as well as what could have gone better. This is a great time to develop an after-action report.
Brainstorming—especially inclusive brainstorming—is a powerful tool to analyze a task; inform a robust plan; assist the executive in managing the execution; and prepare for the next complex, long-range or enduring project. Regularly managing activities ensures all supporting tasks are completed on time. Personal attention by the senior leader—the project owner—prevents the loss of enthusiasm during a long-range project.
Including a broad and deep array of individuals and subordinate units throughout the organization promotes greater understanding of the activities; increases buy-in; and reinforces cohesive teams. | 2019-04-24T17:57:43 | https://www.ausa.org/articles/brainstorm-soliciting-variety-ideas-yields-better-results |

The De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Spikers fell to the Adamson University (AdU) Soaring Falcons in four sets, 14-25, 25-23, 19-25, 19-25 at the Araneta Coliseum, earlier today.
Adamson made quick work of La Salle in the first set, launching from a 4-1 lead following a team captain vs team captain joust between Paolo Pablico (AdU) and Cris Dumago, which was won by the former. DLSU tried to rally some points, but struggled to find its groove, giving Adamson the first set in just 20 minutes of play.
Once again, The Green Spikers found themselves down early in the second set, 0-3, after a series of errors, but got back on their feet to tie the game at five apiece. Stellar floor defense showcased by the Green and White shifted the lead to La Salle, 11-10, following a Dumago crosscourt hit that ended a long rally. La Salle maintained a three-point cushion since then, but four straight points by AdU changed the complexion of the game and made the Green Spikers surrender their advantage, 19-20. However, the combined efforts of Dumago and rookie Gerian Bacon finished the set in favor of the Green and White, overcoming a 23-21 advantage by AdU.
It was a chess match, no team wanting to allow a two-point lead until a Carlo Jimenez drop gave the San Marcelino-based crew an 8-4 advantage heading into the first technical timeout. From then on, the opposing squad never stopped putting their feet on the gas pedal, leading to as much as seven, 17-10, after a bullet by Geoffrey Alicando. The Soaring Falcons did not look back and capped off the set with a forced error from Dumago.
Although La Salle showed Animo in the fourth frame, the number of unforced errors were just too much. The boys in green immediately found themselves staring at a 2-6 deficit following an unorthodox hit by George Labang. The Soaring Falcons extended their lead to six, 18-12, with a drop shot by Pablico that ended another long rally. La Salle refused to wave the white flag as a service ace by Billie Anima, and back-to-back offensive blocks by Kieffer Reyes and the team captain gave DLSU a glimmer of hope, cutting the deficit to two, 16-18. However, Adamson showed composure and countered with an offensive block of their own, courtesy of Alicando. Jimenez then gave the match to his team with a drop shot that fooled the entire Green Spikers squad.
Lone bright spot Dumago spearheaded La Salle’s offense with 18 points followed by Anima’s 10 and Reyes’ 9.
On the flip side, three Soaring Falcons tallied double digits as Pablico scored 18, Leo Miranda had 13, while Labang finished with 10 markers. Setter Jimenez was hailed as the best player of the game with 35 excellent sets and six points.
The Green Spikers now hold a 4-8 win-loss record slate.

Hello, my name is Dorothea, I’m from Berlin and I spent year abroad here at Branksome Hall, an all-girls school downtown Toronto.
I already decided at the end of grade 9 that I want to do a year abroad because I heard so many people describing the one year abroad as the year of their life. I wanted to make all this new experiences myself, getting to know more of the world, stepping out of my comfort zone, making friendships for a lifetime. I was really excited when I started the whole process, but when it actually came to choosing a school there were moments where I was just confused and not sure anymore if I would find the perfect school. With the support of my family and the ssb team I finally decided for Branksome. Looking back, the preparation seminar in Dortmund and all the tips ssb gave me about how to prepare best and make the arrival easier turned out to be very helpful. I surprised myself that I took the risk of spending one year in a completely unknown environment since I was a shy, introverted and cautious person, always trying to make predictable decisions without risks. I had never been on a girl school or in a boarding school before not mentioning living on my own away from home for a longer time.
Despite all the preparation time flew until I was done packing and my last evening at home started. And then I was on my first flight alone across the Atlantic. It was an incredible feeling, I was so excited and could not wait to see the place where I would spend the next 10 months though it was still a little bit scary to imagine. When I finally arrived it was overwhelming. The new school and residence, the other people from all over the world, the language. The new residence girls had an orientation week where we did sightseeing and got to know each other which turned out to be very helpful. The first days I did not speak a word because I thought my English would be too bad and I could not understand anyone. But everyone was so nice and welcoming and I noticed pretty fast that the others are in exactly the same situation as me: new city, new people, new language. Then I tried to be open and more outgoing and I already found in the orientation week many really good friends.
The first week of school was very challenging for me because I felt that I could never manage my courses and deal with the new lifestyle and I was near to giving up. The first day was the only time I wondered why we have two hours study time, after that I already needed it. By the end of the week I was exhausted from the jetlag, all the homework and still adjusting to everything new. Compared to Germany, my days were so full and structured and I did not had much free time. But after the first week it got a lot easier. I got support from my friends, teachers and residence dons and I also became good friends with day students. After three weeks, I looked back and could not believe how much time already passed. My new life got normal so quickly and I got used to wearing a school uniform, taking all my class notes on a laptop, speaking in English and sharing my room with my roommate.
Branksome has an outstanding academic program which does not only include lessons in the classroom, but also provides great learning opportunities that my school in Germany never offered to me. Beside school, most people are part of one of the many co-curricular activities that Branksome offers like a sport team, a club or a service program. Just for fun and without expecting anything, I went to the auditions for ‘Grease’, the school’s theatre production in cooperation with a boy’s school in Toronto. Surprisingly, I got in and spend two and a half months a lot of time rehearsing to dance and sing in the end at three amazing performance nights. With my drama class I had the incredible opportunity to visit New York for a few days to attend theatre workshops and watch plays on Broadway. In class, we performed plays we wrote ourselves and really grew together as an ensemble. As a part of the rowing team I had the possibility to train with amazing people and trainers. I started in the winter season where we did indoor training on ergometers and in the spring we went every morning at 5 am on the water and attended regattas in Canada and the USA on the weekends. I also played in the orchestra and joined other events at Branksome.
I came to Branksome with making the promise to myself to take every opportunity, enjoy every single moment and be as open and outgoing as possible. And now after my year in Canada is over, I know that Branksome was the best choice for me. Looking back, this year was the hardest and most challenging of my life. I was often physically and mentally exhausted and asked myself if it was worth putting so much effort in school and my extracurriculars. But now I can not only say yes, I can say that I enjoyed every single moment, no matter if I was spending a weekend at a friend’s house or experiencing the pain of racing the last meters of a regatta. The school gave me so many opportunities to experience things I had never imagined and could have never experienced at home. And also the people that I met made me grow. I made friends for a lifetime. I went through happy and sad times with my friends, laughed and cried, went to dinners, movies and dances, stayed at friend’s houses over weekends or holidays, was camping, went dog sledging in Ottawa, wrote my own theatre play, experienced different cultures and a completely different school.
But what happens now that I returned home? Beside, that I face the problem to not find the right German word because I still think in English and beside that I can do my own laundry now? It was definitely hard to leave what became a second home to me and it is hard to get used to my life here but I am so glad that my parents made this experience possible. I know I’m gonna see my friends again even if they live all over the world now. This year changed a lot, my school formed my personality and thinking. I would describe myself now as confident, independent, risk-taking and open to unfamiliar situations and new people. In one sentence: It was the year of my life.
Last, I want to thank everyone who made this year an unforgettable memory for me. I really hope that you decide doing a year abroad because I can assure you that it will be an amazing experience! I wish you all the best and for anyone who considers Branksome, feel free to ask ssb Nottebohm for emailing me with any questions! | 2019-04-23T22:48:52 | https://www.ssb-nottebohm.de/erfahrungsberichte-branksome-hall-dorothea.html |

I know I promised to post that contest this week, but alas, I am under fire of Murphy’s law. I’m currently experiencing some unexpected medical problems that are as yet, undiagnosed and are preventing me from getting a large number of things done (blog included).
That said, the contest will probably need to be post-poned until next week, or possibly even the week after.
Also, I’ll get to all of your comments as soon as possible, but I can’t give you a timeline for that yet.
Please do get better soon. I just found this place and have enjoyed it thoroughly!
Glad to hear it, but I can’t guarantee anything with regards to my health.
Just wanted to wish you well as you work through all the medical stuff. Take care of yourself (INTJs seem to need reminders once in a while).
Thank you for the reminder, and yes, I do need it more often than I usually like to admit.
Hey, did you find out what the problem is? Hoping you’re feeling better.
Not feeling better yet, but coping better. I’m still getting tests to figure out what’s wrong, but thanks for the support!
Do you think there is any correlation between Hogwarts Houses and MBTI types?
Hey, when you see this, I just wanted to wish you well. Especially with the unexpected medical problems. I know from experience how hard that shizzle can be.

At a time when President Obama is looking around for tools to use against Putin, the recent report of a Task Force, co-chaired by Ambassador Paula J. Dobriansky, Governor Bill Richardson, and Senator John Warner, raises the question: Shouldn't shale energy resources be Washington's mightiest weapon? The author of the report, Elizabeth Rosenberg, argues that the call for energy independence may not be in America's national security and economic interest. The best way to assure America's energy security is by using our abundance to widen global access to sufficient, affordable energy supplies.
Elizabeth Rosenberg is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Energy, Environment and Security Program at the Center for New American Security. She served as senior advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for terrorist financing and financial crimes, then the Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Rosenberg helped to develop and implement financial and energy sanctions, including the tightening of global sanctions on Iran, the launching of new sanctions against Libya and Syria, and the modification of Burma sanctions in step with normalizations of diplomatic relations. She also helped to formulate anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing policy and overseas financial regulatory enforcement activities.

Francesca Jarosz Brady: What happened to Indiana’s business Republicans?
Decades later, citizens are no less concerned about our city’s misplaced rubbish: Trash and illegal dumping rank second on the list of Mayor’s Action Center complaints. But we’ve lost our collective will to address the problem.
In an effort to change that, Mayor Joe Hogsett recently joined corporate and civic leaders in launching the “It’s My City” campaign, which draws from the Hudnut commercial to urge citizens to keep Indianapolis clean.
It’s a much-needed call to action. Indianapolis has lost its pride of ownership when it comes to clean streets and public spaces. That’s evidenced by trash-lined streets and gutters that abound from affluent neighborhoods like Meridian Hills to center-city thoroughfares like Capitol Avenue.
It’s time to start taking trash seriously, and it’s especially important now.
Indianapolis is poised to emerge in coming years as one of the nation’s thriving 21st century population centers. Our tech scene is growing, downtown is booming, and we’re committed to investing in our city’s growth—whether by marketing Indianapolis to attract new talent or revamping amenities like Tarkington Park to enhance livability.
As we make new investments, we also have to commit to taking care of what we already have. New buildings and promotional campaigns will go only so far if our streets are congested with plastic bags, bottles, cans and discarded mattresses that convey apathy and disrepair. As we strive toward the goal of attracting talent and making the city more vibrant, we have to start with the most fundamental practice of keeping Indianapolis clean.
Greater neighborhood order also leads to less crime and chaos. Keep Indianapolis Beautiful cites a drop in police calls following its work to replace a near-east-side drug alley with trees. These examples abound, as researchers from the University of Pennsylvania noted in a study on the crime reductions that resulted from beautifying vacant lots in Philadelphia.
Tackling trash demands two fundamental steps. First, the city has to commit more money and manpower to beautification. There was one major trash sweep last year. That’s not enough. Indianapolis needs a proactive, citywide effort to clean up rubbish and sweep streets, with a priority on the most litter-ridden areas. That would send a clear message to the public that the city takes cleanliness seriously, and residents should, too.
Companies could help support these efforts through money, employee manpower, or a combination of both, building on existing efforts such as Indy Do Day and the Lilly Day of Service. And not-for-profits like Keep Indianapolis Beautiful could mobilize existing volunteers to help support the cause.
To maintain a clean city, though, the sole burden can’t be on government. Our limited tax base won’t support it. The job of keeping Indianapolis clean also depends on residents working to take care of their neighborhoods.
We’ve lost our collective sense of ownership of blocks and streets—whether because of technology, metropolitan growth or a more transient populace. We need to reclaim the belief that keeping our neighborhoods clean depends on all of us.
Hogsett can be the chief champion of this message. Civic leaders, businesses, teachers, ministers and others influential in their communities must echo it.
The revival of Hudnut’s pithy anti-litter campaign is a good first step. Now, it’s up to city, business and civic leaders to match that call to action with resources and sustained momentum.
Brady is a vice president in the Indianapolis office of VOX Global, a Washington, D.C.-based strategic communications and public affairs firm. | 2019-04-23T14:07:52 | https://www.ibj.com/articles/63180-time-to-tackle-citys-most-solvable-problem |

DesignCloud is a co-working space in Chicago specifically aimed at creative professionals. They were looking for improvements to their website to drive member conversions and a solution to manage the overall culture of the community they wanted to foster. My main role as a user experience designer was to conduct user research, outline the user flows, gather content and functional requirements, and create visual designs of the new pages and screens.
The team started off by conducting contextual inquiries with six users, two of which were employees and four of which were members. The questions varied depending on their relationship with DesignCloud. For the employees, we wanted to understand what their vision was for the company and any pain points they had with their current system. The member interviews were to understand what their motivations were behind choose DesignCloud over competitors and if they had any areas of improvement for the space. After we completed the research, we organized the data in a work activity affinity diagram to help categorize the information and identify the key themes based on our research.
I was responsible for putting together work flows to depict DesignCloud's current system so that we could easily identify ways to improve their existing process. We leveraged mental models, sketching, brainstorming sessions to come up with a solution which we based our task, contextual, and interaction models on. These sessions led us to create lo-fi wireframes to help drive the layout for the design phases.
Ultimately, I designed visual comps for a desktop and a responsive mobile view of their current website.
These are the desktop and mobile versions of the member intranet that our team designed. I created these visual comps in Photoshop and Illustrator from the wireframes that I had received, also keeping in mind the requirements and information architecture that we had established. I also created prototypes for the desktop and mobile views using InvisionApp.
OUTCOME: Our team presented our research, design decisions / strategy, visual comps, and prototypes to DesignCloud. Nick, the founder, told us that we had exceeded his expectations for this project. He and the DesignCloud team are currently taking a look at the recommendations we made and incorporating them into their existing systems. | 2019-04-22T10:57:03 | https://www.actuallyjenn.com/designcloud |
Proposals to use lie detectors to search for spies and to impose the death penalty for espionage would violate fundamental constitutional liberties, said Morton Halperin, Washington director of the American Civil Liberties Union. Halperin called on Congress to reject anti-espionage proposals as unconstitutional. The proposals were contained in amendments to defense authorization bills. The real problems include "overclassification of information and excessive numbers of employees with access to sensitive information," Halperin said. | 2019-04-23T22:47:31 | https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-07-08-mn-9856-story.html |

Despite numerous ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) overflooding the crypto universe, but famous cryptocurrency investor Brian Kelly said that the market is overvalued, in an interview to CNBC. According to him, it seems that the investors are in a “wait-and-see-mode”.
Kelly further said that the market for ICOs is becoming “very frothy”, one of the most popular crowdfunding methods to raise money for cryptocurrency ventures.
In the first half of 2018, more than 300 ICOs have been launched. It is almost the same amount of ICOs in the whole of 2017. And more money has been raised through ICOs in the first six months of the year as compared to the whole of the last year.
Kelly is the founder and current CEO of an investment firm BKCM LLC which is focused on digital currencies. He further said that US is not a significant player in the ICO market, rather Asian countries are at the forefront here as the regulatory issues are not that pressing.
While all this is going on, the value of Bitcoin has almost stagnated. Once it had touched the mark of US $20,000 but, as of Thursday 05:30 PM ET, it was hovering at around $6,700. | 2019-04-24T14:02:22 | https://www.btcwires.com/block-o-pedia/icos-are-overvalued-says-brian-kelly/ |

As patients encounter rising costs for health care services, there are new opportunities for clinicians to work with patients to understand how informed referrals and shared decision-making can improve patient experience. Too often, clinicians don't have information on the relative cost of health care services or facilities. In an effort to work toward standardization and enable comparisons, the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI) recently completed an 18 month pilot to produce total cost of care and resource-use data in 5 regions. Multi-payer claims data was used by physicians in participating regions and a physician leadership seminar was held to educate, engage, and create a peer support network for effective use of data to drive practice transformation. This webinar featured program results and a provided a summary of the next phase of NRHI's innovative work in this space. | 2019-04-24T18:47:04 | https://www.pcpcc.org/webinar/clinicians-and-patients-natural-partners-identifying-right-care-quantifying-total-cost-care |

Samuel R Whitfied was born in 1892. He was recorded on the census of 1901 living with his family at Moss Side, Hanmer. Head of the household was Richard Whitfield aged 40. He was an Agricultural Labourer. His wife was Ellen aged 39. Their listed children were Gertrude 12, Mary Ellen 10, Samuel R 8, Frank 7, Thomas 5 Bertha 4 and a baby daughter aged 3 weeks who hadn’t got a name then.
The next census of 1911, records a Samuel Whitfield aged 18, working as a servant – worker on farm – at Bane Farm, Penley, Ellesmere. The farm was owned by John Leadsom who lived there with his wife, married daughter and her husband and child.
UK Soldiers who died in the Great War 1914 -19, accessible on www.ancestry.co.uk confirms the military details as above left. It adds that he enlisted in Whitchurch and that he was killed in action. It is this source that tells us that he was previously in the Welsh Horse Regiment with a different regimental number. His medal index card also on ancestry lists his two medals.
The UK Register of soldier’s effects in which the army calculated what moneys were owed to deceased soldiers, includes an entry for Samuel. This source tells us he that his death was ‘presumed’ on the 23rd March 1918. His father Richard received payment of £19 ..2sh .. 8d which included his war gratuity of £13.

Can you defend your Christian faith? How would you do it? Would you try your hand at Christian apologetics?
Many Christian apologists turn to the first letter of St. Peter and quote the following words as a defense of the practice of Christian apologetics: “Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15) This makes sense. The word “defense” is “apologia” in the Greek. And some go so far as to say that St. Peter has given us a mandate properly defined as “the discipline that teaches Christians how to give a reason for their hope.” (Frame, 1994) But I would argue that what we often call apologetics, that is, the disciplined and frequently systematic mounting of arguments defending the Christian faith from corresponding challenges, is not exactly what St. Peter means. I think it is much more fundamental.
In the early days of the the Church many Christians suffered. Many lost jobs, were ostracized, kicked out of their synagogue, shunned by family, thrown in prison, tortured, and even killed. Imagine how common it must have been for non-Christian family and friends to say, “Why are you doing this to yourself and your family? Why don’t you give the sacrifice to Caesar at the temple? Why don’t you worship our city’s god, or Caesar? Why don’t you renounce this Jesus? Don’t you realize you will die if you keep this up? Do you not love us, love your spouse, love your children?” Imagine the pressure. Why would a person refuse to capitulate? Why not give up and worship Caesar? Or renounce Christ? Not because of a well crafted argument. Not for a cosmological argument for God’s existence. Rather, because of the hope that is in you; that Jesus rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father. It is because of the encounter with Christ. Those without eyes to see or ears to hear will not understand, but perhaps they might see the joy, hear the words of the Gospel, experience the witness, and begin to ponder these things in their hearts. They might see the sacrificial love, the service and joy, hear the words of love and truth, and perhaps they just might begin to be open to the calling of the Holy Spirit.
IS forces had no answer. The dozen Christians, who included many elderly and infirm, were let go.
That, it seems to me, is the truest apologetic.

In 1990 the Voyager 1 spacecraft turned its camera back towards Earth and found a pale blue dot.
“Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam”.
That mote of dust, that pale blue dot, is our home, a gift from God to us.
Sagan’s quote is powerful, but Pope Francis pushes that sentimental understanding such that the sentiments are rooted in the powerful, cosmic truth that the world is a sacrament of communion. In other words, as we engage with creation and come to know it we become like priests offering up to God the world which He gave us. If this is our relationship to this pale blue dot, then questions of market forces, or government regulations, or pollution, or poverty, or global supply chains, all fall under this sacramental understanding.
I see too many Christians here in the rich and powerful “west” chaffing at the Pope’s encyclical, often using common evasive tactics like focusing on whether it is well written or organized, or whether the Pope mentions Jesus enough times, etc. These are all fair assessments, but if our first response to the world was to fall on our knees in supplication and worship, because our first understanding is of the world as sacrament, I wonder if we would be pushing back as much to the Pope. I think he gets it right. His critique seems to be spot on. We have forgotten the garden, the gift of creation. If we understood and lived out the idea of “world as sacrament” there might not be a need for the encyclical, because the world would be less ravaged. Still, and our struggle bears this out, only in Christ do we find salvation, and only through Christ will the creation cease to groan.
Final thought: It’s a strange thing to think that the so-called radical, left-wing environmental movement is showing the Church (especially in the west) a little something that it has lost along the way. | 2019-04-19T18:39:31 | https://satellitesaint.com/2015/07/ |

He had been stopping at the house of Mrs. Thomas Melvin, at the "Old Lock," and was prostrated with inflammatory rheumatism. Mrs. Melvin has a large family of children and is poor, and Mr. McHale did not wish to be a charge upon her, hence he was taken to the Home at his own request. Mrs. Michael Melvin, also living at the Lock, is an aunt of the afflicted man. Mrs. Thomas Melvin is not related to him in any way.

In December of 2010, Congressman Peter King announced his intention to hold hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims, basically to investigate and understand the threat of homegrown terrorism and extremism. On June 20th, the 5th hearing took place regarding this matter, which has been surrounded in controversy ever since it’s inception.
Now in theory, I actually have no problem on such hearings; in fact, I think it’s a very good thing, and something that should be done. The problem with these hearings however, is that the man heading them, Peter King, does not have the right intentions behind them. Peter King is your typical Republican congressman, who has his own political and ideological agenda behind the whole saga, which is to cause fear mongering, and a demonization of the Muslim community in the west. In other words, what we are seeing are not actual hearings and testimonies regarding the root cause and reasoning behind Muslim radicalization in America, which is the supposed intention behind the hearings.
If we are to hold hearings on the radicalization of Muslims, then it should be done properly, with the facts out there for everybody to see. As I said, this is something good to have, and something that is needed. Ever since the September 11th attacks, when the phenomena of terrorism and extremism came to the forefront of public attention, there has never been any real official meaningful mainstream discussion on why such a phenomena exists in the first place. Instead of this we have been given propaganda filled reasoning and explanations by those in power, and by certain right wing propagandists with their own bigoted agenda. We have been told and led to believe that the causes of homegrown extremism is simply due to the fact that these people are crazy, and there is a crazy ideology out there that simply manages to brainwash them into a warped reality, thereby turning them into monsters.
Now without a doubt, it is a crazy ideology to believe you can go out there and cause mass murder to innocent civilians, but the point I am making, is that it is not so simple as in black and white, that these people are mentally deranged lunatics, with no logic behind them, in other words these men are not acting on an entire basis of irrationality. Rather, these men, who do become extremists, have logical and political reasoning behind their anger and extremism, one only has to look at what they themselves have said! In fact one needs to also look at what the intelligence community has to say, the very same people we task with hunting and arresting these people.
The root cause of extremism behind these men is the foreign policy of certain governments in question, in this case, we are talking about homegrown American Muslim extremists, and so the foreign policy in question would be that of the American government in regards to Muslims and Muslim countries. Foreign policy blunders such as the illegal invasion of Iraq, the sanctions against Iraq that preceded that, leaving half a million dead Iraqi children, and the continued biased support for Israel, an oppressive occupying power over the Palestinians. All of these foreign policy issues, and many more, are the actual causes of driving some Muslims into the fold of extremism; they have channeled their political frustrations through that route, rather than other civilized and legal means.
So this is what we should be investigating, this is what we should be letting everybody know, and this is what we need to be talking about. However, that’s not what’s happening, instead we have radicalization hearings being headed by Peter King, with an agenda that doesn’t want to get the truth or the real answers, and doesn’t want to do anything with examining the evidence as to why homegrown extremism exists.
Homegrown extremism is a reality, there’s no use in trying to deny it’s existence, but if we want to confront and understand the problem, then we need to properly assess and examine it, and then we might be able to address and prevent it from happening in the first place. Now if any politician is able and willing to do that, then I am all for it.
Another top article from Sheikh Sami.
When someone blows up people we identify with (for example, Americans in 9/11), we rally round and beat the crap out of them (and a load of others) even though they did not attack US directly but just someone we are allied with or feel affinity for.
So what happens when WE blow up a whole bunch of people that others identify with?
What would happen if we bombed the crap out of China or South Korea? What would SOME American born Chinese and Koreans do? | 2019-04-20T12:12:21 | https://thedebateinitiative.com/2012/07/05/homegrown-muslim-radicalisation/ |

More than 20,000 are presumed dead or missing in Japan after a massive earthquake and tsunami hit on March 11. In response, the music community has been actively trying to raise relief money to send the small island nation.
Your SXSW Primer: What Acts Are Poised to Break this Year in Austin?
Next week, I'm heading west. (South by South)west. The music part of the annual Austin, Texas, festival (which has digital and film concentrations as well) is running this year from March 16 through the 20th. SXSW is important because it gives thousands of young acts the chance to be seen by those from all sides of the music industry and the media--in addition to the swarms of fans who attend every year to enjoy some new rock, pop, rap, and more. In previous years, I was introduced to Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons, Rye Rye, The Antlers, VV Brown, Fitz & the Tantrums, The Lonely Forest, The Temper Trap, Dawes, Local Natives, and even, seriously, Katy Perry--she played to a room of about 100 in 2008--through SXSW.
Today in Tweet-Beat: Jordan Dunn, peep-toe shoes, shirtless dudes and SXSW announce the arrival of Spring! | 2019-04-24T06:06:28 | https://www.teenvogue.com/tag/south-by-southwest |
Box was severely damaged. I hope it doesn’t effect the quality of the picture once I use it.
I love the product and the price on here!
Great product!! Took a little long to get here.
Horrible most of them came out blank. So when we used them on vacation we had to run to the store and purchase some because these didn’t work.
I love the frame and the quality is great. | 2019-04-19T21:24:36 | https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/gg-cm-fujifilm-instax-film-pack-for-instant-print-mini-cameras-10-20-30-pack?deal_option=f315105c-3683-4eae-9436-7f4d64d5727e |
(Football Club)A scintillating first half-hour laid the foundation for City’s 2-1 win as a clever and resilient Napoli side forced their way back into the game thereafter, pushing City more than any other opponent so far this season.
(Football Club)City started where they had left off against Stoke at the weekend, with a whirlwind attacking spell that had Napoli in absolute knots. Mesmerising football (Football Club), concentrated on the left flank to start, brought immediate rewards and perhaps should have delivered more before the game turned.
(Football Club)Tired legs? Over-confidence? Over-elaboration at the back? (Football Club) Or simply an opponent of a different calibre? Having done the hard work and exerted energy streaming forward for more, City were suddenly pushed back by an opponent that had spent the first 30 minutes unable to hold onto the ball and trapped inside their own half.
8 — (Football Club)Pep Guardiola chose exactly the same starting line-up with good reason. Saw his side play outstandingly sharp and incisive football for half an hour, then be closed down and forced backwards by a crafty and well-balanced Napoli side. Now needs to give some a rest.
GK Ederson, 9 –(Football Club) Was already playing well, when he was asked to face a penalty. The scuffed shot by Dries Mertens came straight down the middle and he saved well with his left boot. Outstanding in his quick darts to the edge of the box and in his safe, confident handling.
DF Kyle Walker, 7 — (Football Club)So far forward that his blocked shot in the box led to Raheem Sterling’s early breakthrough. Was being given more food for thought at the other end, however, and despite his ability to recover quickly, he gave away the first penalty by pulling Raul Albiol back at a corner. Often left Lorenzo Insigne in too much space in the second half.
DF John Stones, 9 — (Football Club)Outstanding again at the back as City’s tactics unravelled in the second half. Quick to recover and nick the ball from the menacing Mertens, directing plenty of traffic from left to right and back again as City controlled possession. Somehow got his belly in front of one goal-bound shot as City almost paid dearly for their dallying. A dazzling 94 percent pass accuracy tells the story of his night.
DF Nicolas Otamendi, 7 — (Football Club)Hectic time for him. Less composed with the close passing across the back but right at home with the lunging interceptions, one of which robbed Mertens before half-time and another came critically to the rescue towards the end as Napoli pressed.
DF Fabian Delph, 7 –(Football Club) Calm and assured in early period, but appeared a little rattled by the second half onslaught. Overhit a pass that put Fernandinho in trouble in front of his own goal, but showed battling qualities and a calmness on the ball that was admirable.
MF Fernandinho, 8 — (Football Club)An all-action game from the Brazil international. Great deal of steady possession early on, first to the loose ball when Ederson saved the first penalty and always attentive to Napoli’s attacks down the flanks. Worked hard through the middle and dug out one lovely through-ball to Jesus. Blotted his copybook by giving away the second penalty, for which he was booked.
MF Leroy Sane, 6 — (Football Club)Appeared to have put the wrong studs in, so often was he on the floor. Gave Albiol plenty to think about, but also lost possession far too easily. Drew a yellow for Christian Maggio.
MF Raheem Sterling, 7 –(Football Club) Fast to the rebound when Walker’s shot came to him early on and his cool finish put City ahead. Gave Kalidou Koulibaly plenty to think about but it’s a shame he cannot arc a ball into the box like Kevin de Bruyne.
MF David Silva, 8 –(Football Club) Key to releasing Leroy Sane early on, he produced the deft cut-back that led to the opening goal. Outshone Marek Hamsik early on but failed to release the ball in time when there was a chance for a third goal. Replaced by Ilkay Gundogan after a clash of heads with Elseid Hysaj.
MF Kevin de Bruyne, 8 –(Football Club) Bossed the start and produced another sublime pass to set up the second goal on a plate for Jesus. One amazing left footer hit first time came back off the underside of the bar. So clever in his working of tight spaces and changing direction of attacks.
FW Gabriel Jesus, 8 –(Football Club) A real (Football Club) lung-busting effort in chasing down the defenders all night. Touched in the second might have had a second, had Koulibaly stopped it on the line between his knees.
MF Bernardo Silva, 7 –(Football Club) Arrived as a 68th minute replacement for Silva and immediately went on a terrific slalom through the middle. However, he was bypassed by a lot of the flow in the other direction.
MF Ilkay Gundogan, NR — (Football Club) On for Sane after 75 minutes and found himself pushed well forward to aid a tiring Jesus.
DF Danilo, NR — (Football Club)Replaced Jesus as Guardiola tried to bung some holes. | 2019-04-23T04:07:51 | https://sportscentre4u.com/football-club/ |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Duke Energy is preparing for potential severe weather expected to bring high winds and heavy rain to portions of the Carolinas Wednesday.
Crews across the Carolinas are preparing vehicles and materials to respond to outages that may occur as a result of the storm. Additional resources from within the Duke Energy system are also available to assist local crews as needed.
Customers may also report outages online using their smart phone. Progress Energy Carolinas customers must register their account prior to the storm in order to report outages online or from a mobile device.
During and immediately following larger storms, restoration times may be difficult to predict. Duke Energy encourages customers in affected areas to be prepared if an outage occurs. Customers with special needs who experience an outage should be prepared to seek alternate shelter until service is restored.
Charge mobile phones in advance of the storm.
Keep at least one battery-powered flashlight where it can be located easily in the dark. Listen for storm information on a battery-powered radio. Keep an extra supply of fresh batteries.
Make sure any indoor heaters, such as wood stoves or kerosene heaters have adequate ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Likewise, make sure the flue of your fireplace is working properly. Never use outdoor grills in the house.
After severe weather, Duke Energy takes specific steps to restore power. Crews first assess damage and determine what crews, equipment and supplies will be needed to make repairs. Because of this, customers may see damage assessors patrolling their neighborhoods before crews arrive to begin work.
Crews prioritize work to ensure the largest number of customers are restored as quickly as possible. Essential services such as hospitals and emergency responders have priority. | 2019-04-22T00:23:22 | https://news.duke-energy.com/releases/duke-energy-prepares-for-severe-weather;-urges-customers-to-prepare |
At Recreate, we love the Cape Craft Design Institute and all it offers! We recently took part in their creative problem solving workshop and visited their incredible product support space.
As well as being a beautiful team building day out, we learnt the following things: Admire is a perfectionist, Katie is the messiest of us all, Vusi is the numbers guy and Michelle loves a challenge.
The greatest thing we learnt was that all 4 of us are much more in tune and alike than we think. We all chose the same patterns and similar tools to work with but we all came up with original and different ways to solve problems.
Yes, that’s right! If you bring us a mug full of bottle caps, we will return the mug to you full of coffee!
“Why?”, you ask? Well let’s start from the beginning.
This man with the beautiful smile is Phanny Mangwiro. He is a craftsman that uses discarded bottle caps to make the most exquisite products, from coasters, condiment carriers to giant works of art.
Just look at what he has made from beer bottle caps that are usually tossed before you can say “cheers”.
We know that Phanny works long hours and goes from place to place to collect bottle caps to make his amazing pieces, and so we’ve been collecting bottle caps on his behalf. Once our collection fills a big bin, we give Phanny a call and he is able to collect it all in one go. We help him save time and he in turn inspires us with his craftsmanship.
If you would like to help Phanny out, you can also drop off bottle caps to add to our collection for him at our studio in Salt River and if you bring in enough to fill a coffee mug we think you deserve a free coffee!
We were delighted when we received a call from one of Cape Towns well known architectural and interior design studios requesting what would soon turn out to be one of our most challenging and exciting bespoke pieces to date.
The design from our client was clear. A baby compactum reminiscent of a vintage travelling trunk but the with qualities and finishes of a contemporary functional piece of furniture.
The detailed finishes included sealed vinyl wallpaper, vintage style brass corners and handles and timber beading.
Have a look at our process below.
We were invited to go to the set of the new Afternoon Express and chat to the ladies about upcycling. We had a great time. Thanks for having us! Best of luck with the show.

How do you save water with your feet?
Install Foot Pedals on Your Sinks!
Zem Joaquin gave Inhabitat some really innovative tips on how to “green” your living space.
One tip stood out for us at Recreate – how to cut back on water usage using your feet!
A great way to cut back water usage while making your life more convenient is to install foot pedal valves into your sink systems to control water flow with your feet! Not only can it save you money on your water bill, but it solves the whole soapy hand / turning faucets / teeth brushing conundrum with one elegant design solution – no more having to twiddle faucet knobs with sudsy hands!
Seems like pedal valves are not available in South Africa yet, but we found a “how-to” build your own on Instructables. Happy pedalling friends!
The inspiration behind Recreate was Katie’s passion for transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary. Katie is a self-proclaimed hoarder of all things useless, impractical, broken and colourful and is passionate about finding new uses and functions for these treasures she finds. Our creative team leader – she’s the one we turn to whenever we are in need of a bit of inspiration and creative guidance.
Head of our small workshop team, Admire can be found with his hands full of odds and ends and a large smile on his face. Originally from Zimbabwe, he joined Recreate in 2010 and has kept us running on schedule and on point ever since. In his own words “Recreate is my life” and it shows in his work. All the products that come through his hands get the best treatment and his standard of quality is just impeccable.
Recreate’s social media extraordinaire, she is in charge of making sure all our products get their final touches done and photographed to be “front page” ready for all our social platforms. She also acts as the studio manager and organizes all the paperwork, schedules… basically is our multitasker that crosses our t’s and dots our i’s. She’s the one you chat to when you call, email, instant message or poke us on Facebook, and we couldn’t ask for a better voice for Recreate.
Why did Recreate cross the road?
As you will know if you follow us on our various social media – Recreate has moved.
After four and a half years at 368 Albert Road, we decided that a change was in order and a big decision was to be made. And so Recreate crossed the road…..
We had our shop on Albert Road next to the lovely VAMP for a few years before we realized that we needed a more workshop-like space to be able to recreate all our products. Our workshop across the road in Stowe Street was an amazing find and we happily worked between two spaces for almost a year.
The workshop space is light, quiet, calm and a perfect oasis to recreate all the treasures that we find and some that we are entrusted to bring back to life again. Slowly but surely we started falling in love with our workshop and just knew our customers would love it as much as we did.
In July 2014, we decided to move our shop space into our workshop space and create a working studio. This is where the fun began, merging our shop and work space wasn’t an easy task but it was definitely an adventure.
Once all the dust had settled and the paint had dried, we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to move. We closed the doors and locked up at Albert Road for the last time in September 2014 and haven’t looked back since!
The working studio is different to our old store. It is messy here… a fun inspirational mess!
Come and visit us at 6 Stowe Street and you will understand why we crossed the road!
It is an odd question, a confusing question – but have you really considered where the things we throw “away” actually go to? Where is this “away” place we talk about?
There really is no “away”.
In Cape Town we have 3 landfills that have already been filled and closed. Our current landfills are already full to capacity and rapidly overfilling up to 50 m above ground level.
How crazy is it to think that these kinds of landfills take up vast amounts of acres all over the world. Many of which are filled with garbage that cannot be decomposed. Did you know that it takes more than 500 years for a disposable nappie to biodegrade.
Making Peace is a photo exhibition currently in the Company Gardens. I was inspired and a little shocked by some of the images I saw there.
One of the reasons this photo exhibition spoke to me, was of course the section all about our responsibility to be “green” for our future, our world, ourselves.
In Guangdong, China this former rice farming community is now an enormous Centre for recycling and disposal of electronic waste (definitely unable to decompose). According to the Basel Action Network only half of all this waste is actually recycled.
90% of our waste can be reused or recycled.
Perhaps just for the rest of today we could think every time we throw something “away” where it may end up and if maybe just maybe there wasn’t another option?
One of the quotes I read in the exhibition was from Al Gore Jr.
Let’s try and keep our city, our country, our planet clean and beautiful.
The City of Cape Town partnered by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Swiss confederation, the FW de Klerk Foundation, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation and Action Support Centre. All to bring us a great treat. This is the first time that Making Peace is presented outside Europe where the exhibition will remain on-show along Government Avenue until 31 January 2015. The exhibition is presented in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa languages.
Cannot believe that it is already a new year. Seems like 2014 just zoomed right past us. The first full week back is almost over and we are feeling a bit nostalgic for last year and yesteryear.
Here is a flashback to September 2014, where our products got a bit of a feature on Southboundbride as part of a styled wedding inspiration photoshoot. Images by the very talented Wesley Vorster and flowers and styling by the gorgeous ladies at Leipzig.
We’re so excited about our new working studio and happy to see others are too.
Pop in and enjoy the creative space with us. Look how pretty it looks. Snapped by Dillon Kin Photography.
We’re in Ideas magazine again this winter. Florals to brighten up your lounge while you wait in anticipation for spring to come around? Yes please!

We’ve blown past 200% and still going! We’re super excited to ship as many boards as we can, so to make sure we stay on schedule, our suppliers have been sent tentative parts lists to ensure that everything is ready for production day.
As promised, here is the update that shows how to connect the Teensy board to an Arduino and Arduino-compatible boards. I have also included a link to an in-development version of the Epaper library below. Check it out and suggest improvements early, so that they can be implemented before your kit arrives!
The high resolution of the display means that there is not enough room in the RAM of the Arduino UNO to hold a framebuffer. This means that the Uno is only useful for displayed patterns generated by software.
The extra circuitry is the level shifters necessary to translate the 5V signals from the Arduino to the 3.3V standard used by Epaper.
Switching to a 3.3V Arduino-compatible eliminates the necessity for the level shifter.
Using a newer ARM-based Arduino compatible, there is even enough room in RAM to hold a framebuffer, which allows you to easily draws complex shapes, text, and graphics.
Shown here is the EpaperQuoteDisplay example that is included in the library, running on Adafruit’s take on the Arduino Zero, the Metro.
In the next update I’ll be presenting the first batch of improvements to my library, along with my progress on combining my library with Adafruit’s GFX library to make drawing shapes and patterns super easy!
All new Adapter Board orders will now contain an E-paper Adapter circuit board with soldered pins. Bring Your Own Device, no assembly required!
Have your own Teensy or other 3.3 V microcontroller? Get this pack! You will receive an E-paper Adapter circuit board with pre-soldered pins and one E-paper Screen.
Starting from scratch? Get the Full Package! Ships with everything you need to start playing with E-paper right away. You will receive an E-paper Adapter circuit board with pre-soldered pins, one E-paper Screen, and a Teensy-LC with pre-soldered pins. | 2019-04-25T07:59:25 | https://www.crowdsupply.com/soniktech/e-paper-shield-kit/updates/2486 |
In February, we launched our Farm to Fork Fondo Ambassador Program and had over 100 applications from everyday athletes passionate about sharing their fitness journey and inspiring others to be healthy. From all those touching stories and applications, we hand-picked nine Official Ambassadors from throughout our Farm to Fork Fondo regions to promote this year's events, share their fitness journeys, and engage others in conversations in person and online around healthy eating and exercise.
You can follow our Ambassadors on the our Ambassador Blog, and interact with them at Farm to Fork Fondo events and other events near you throughout the year!
Coco in her own words: "I am a native of Alexandria, Virginia, married to my high school sweetheart (who also happens to be an awesome bike mechanic), and usually empty-nester (my daughter lives in Colorado and my son lives in South Carolina). I started cycling about six years ago, when my son went off to college. My husband thought cycling would be a fun activity we could do together, and got me the bike that I still enjoy riding today. While I was reluctant at first, I have come to love cycling. I love spending time outside, I enjoy exploring the countryside on our longer rides, and I like the challenge of conquering my fears and climbing up those hills!
"I wanted to be a Farm to Fork Fondo Ambassador because I have loved my experiences doing Farm to Fork Fondo--Pennsylvania Dutch and support the mission of bringing together cyclists and farmers and supporting farmland preservation. Farm to Fork Fondo--Pennsylvania Dutch was my first organized group ride, and my first time riding on roads instead bike paths. I had a great experience and want to encourage others to participate. If you are a beginner, you will see that the events really are open to everyone, and will be amazed at how supportive and encouraging other riders are. If you are an experienced rider, you will enjoy the unique combination of a relaxed atmosphere and challenging course. Riders of all levels will enjoy the gorgeous scenery, visiting farms and meeting local farmers, and indulging in the great food at the farm rest stops and post-ride feasts."

Mike in his own words: "I'm a Manufacturer's Sales Representative for Wood-Mode Custom Cabinetry living in Philadelphia, PA. I've been cycling all of my life but got into amateur road racing in 2008 and realized I loved riding way more than racing in 2012 after getting my Cat 3 upgrade. Riding had always been about getting outside, challenging myself, seeing the world at a different speed, and spending time with friends. It still is those things to me and more.
"My brother, CJ, and I started a charity, Team I Hate Cancer in 2010 that raises money and awareness for local cancer causes in the Philadelphia area. We've raised over $350,000 since then and we created our eponymous cycling team in 2014 as another way to spread our message. We heard about the Farm to Fork Fondo series through its founder Tyler Wren who is an alum of our same high school. Tyler and I have ridden together before, unfortunately when he was at the top of his game, and I was towards the bottom of mine, and four of our TIHC riders decided to ride the Farm to Fork Fondo - Vermont last year.
"I wanted to be an Ambassador because the Farm to Fork Fondos represent all that is right in cycling. We love nothing more than getting out on the roads with our friends, pushing ourselves to the limit, knowing that we're going to stop somewhere for coffee and pastries, or snacks, or cake, or ice cream. That's precisely why people should sign up. The Fondo provides a terrific, supported environment to ride a little farther than you're used to, knowing that along the way you'll get to take in some of the best scenery, most delicious fresh food, and do it by bike where you can take in the great outdoors."

"I am an elite road cyclist, although over the last couple of years I have been cycling more for fun and enjoyment! Besides cycling, I am a PhD student studying nutrition with a focus on malnutrition in children in Malawi where I live half of the year when I’m not in Toronto. I appreciate the importance of supporting local farmers, eating well, and being active, and therefore I share the same philosophy as Farm to Fork Fondo. I also love the sport and lifestyle of cycling because it has allowed me to meet so many incredible people, from beginner riders to those representing Canada. People should sign up for Farm to Fork Fondo because of the opportunity to ride as much or little as they choose through the countryside and to eat delicious fresh food!"

Franz in his own words: "I'm an avid cyclist that’s always looking for new roads to explore and challenges to overcome. When not on my bicycle, I work as a physician in the city that never sleeps encouraging others to choose a healthy lifestyle.
"Endurance sports especially cycling started around 2012 as I saw the cycle portion of a triathlon. Since then i was hooked not only to triathlons but to cycling and all things endurance. With that, i had to change my diet, my whole way of life if i wanted to keep tackling challenges. Since then i have been taking care of what I eat and incorporate that to my training."

Caryn also works as a consultant and performance coach at Valor Performance, Inc., a company devoted to helping executives and salespeople ignite and sustain peak performance.
In her own words: "My bicycle represents freedom. It carries me anywhere I want to go, anytime. Parking is irrelevant, as is traffic: I come and go as I please. I ride my bicycle to work daily, and my commute is the best part of my day. I love the Farm to Fork Fondo because it reminds me that joy resides in the journey. As an Olympic athlete I was constantly focused on the end goal of winning medals, but when I ride in a Farm to Fork Fondo, I am reminded to savor each moment--each stroke of the pedal--each bite of farm-fresh food. In other words, it teaches me to slow down and enjoy the ride!"

Mark in his own words: "I’m a native upstate New Yorker, United States Air Force veteran, and current owner/innkeeper of the restored historic hotel – The Inn at Cooperstown in Cooperstown, NY. Growing up I worked on several farms and later in life I became an avid cyclist and racer. I started riding as it was something my wife and I could do together, plus I really needed to lose weight (210 lbs. when I started and 150 lbs. now) and get fit. I found the Farm to Fork Fondos to be a perfect way to do something I love with my wife and honor our hard-working farmers. If you’re looking for a fun, well organized bicycle event with several ride distance options, great people, a festive atmosphere, and awesome food from local farmers, register for before they sell out."

"I first got into biking towards the end of high school after borrowing a Trek1000 from a friend- I didn’t return the bike for 2 years! I loved being able to be outside, go fast and I had finally found something fun that helped my health.
"I have made great strides forward in my own health both physically and mentally since my diagnose. I owe these successes to training off and on the bike and maintaining a healthy active lifestyle.
"My passion for cycling coupled with my experiences in the food world would only serve me well as an Ambassador for Farm to Fork Fondo. I’m excited for the opportunity to share my journey this 2018 Season to my audiece across my social media platforms. Who knows who I’ll meet along way and hopefully inspire, but only by challenging myself this season, on and off the bike, will I realize my fitness goals.

SoLoMo is the latest buzzword from the virtual world. In real-world translation – SoLoMo is an amalgam for social, local and mobile allowing people to interact (social), find (local) and access (mobile) information easily bridging the gap between user and the web. In essence mobile devices allow users to connect to the Internet wherever they are and to interact with their social networks on the move and marketers can use this to target them with localised offers. Great examples of SoLoMo in action include Foursquare and Groupon – platforms that use social marketing and mobile check-ins as a way to drive business to locally based merchants.
Consumers are increasingly turning to their mobile devices as shopping companions. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see shoppers in stores using apps to obtain information beyond what they could get by being physically in the store, such as reviews, ratings from other consumers, price comparisons and taking advantage of location-based offers.
Euromonitor International’s Quick Pulse Survey found that 26% of respondents use social media for the purpose of following companies or brands they like, and nearly that number (23%) seek discounts and deals from those companies. A few also reported sharing such discounts with friends (10%) or writing their own reviews (9%).
Note: Quick Pulse responses reflect the opinions and habits of several hundred of Euromonitor International’s in-country analysts and in-house researchers around the world.
In a world where smartphone use will continue to show strong growth, with global sales of smartphones expected to reach US$282 billion in 2016, SoLoMo is expected to remain a vital tool for brands to stay relevant in an ever-changing digital market space. | 2019-04-26T02:50:33 | https://blog.euromonitor.com/solomo-combining-the-real-and-virtual-worlds/ |

Headache in young children is manifested inSuch signs as anxiety, lack of appetite, insomnia, sharp crying. Children older is a sign of lethargy, or vice versa, overexcitation. Often such children strive to lie down and fall asleep, moreover, at a time when they are usually cheerful and active.
The most common causeHeadaches in young children are viral colds that are recognized by weakness, fever, lacrimation, and other cold symptoms will not allow this state to be confused with anything.
With sinusitis, sinusitis, and also a number ofInflammations of the ear - throat - nose, too, there is a headache. The cause of the headache may be teething or dental disease. If the cause of headache is the ENT pathology, then, as a rule, at night, namely in the second half of the morning and the pain intensifies, and the day begins to weaken.
Well, if the cause is caused by a toothache or eruption, then the headache will be characterized by a tedious character, constancy, mild intensity, often subfebrile condition.
Visual overload is also the causeThe occurrence of a headache. In this case, pain must be paid special attention, because it can signal a visual impairment (astigmatism, nearsightedness). Such a pain provokes a long watching TV, long reading, long games at the computer. In addition to the headache, it can cause redness of the eye proteins, dryness and itching in the eyes, redness of the eyelids.
Physical and even emotional overstrainIs another common cause of headache in children. Headache in children can often occur after stress, tension. Often the cause of the headache is that the child is in uncomfortable conditions for him, for example, high humidity, stuffiness, noise. In such cases, the pain concentrates around the forehead. Such pain can be characterized as pulsating, pressing, it usually passes in a couple of hours. In the event that the symptoms occur more often, indicates that the usual headache becomes chronic.
Intracranial pressure is also the causeheadache. Symptoms of intracranial pressure can manifest from the first days of the child's life. Such children have no appetite, they refuse water, often regurgitate, there is a bulge of fontanel and strabismus. Children at an older age complain of pain in the nape, which is worse after sleep or a poured pain in the head. Such pains are characterized by a delay in mental development, increased irritability, in some cases violations of coordination of movements and convulsions were observed.
The most dangerous causes of headaches in young children - brain concussion, brain tumor, meningitis.
Concussion is accompanied by acute pain immediatelyAfter getting injured, loss of consciousness, vomiting. If a severe head injury is obtained, show the doctor and do an x-ray of the skull, even if the symptoms begin to pass. Often after a few days, the condition begins to deteriorate.
When meningitis is characterized by a bursting growing headache, giving up in the neck. Also, with meningitis, there is a tension in the muscles of the back, an increase in body temperature, the appearance of a point red rash.
Tumor of the brain in young childrenIs rare. But if it is, it is accompanied by a prolonged pain in the nape, which increases after sleep, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, increasing indifference. An accurate and rapid diagnosis can be made by computed tomography. In this case, the main thing is to call the specialist doctor promptly for qualified help and start treatment as quickly as possible.
Migraine as a cause of headacheKids are in last place. Usually migraine is manifested in children older than seven years. The provoking factors are head injuries, overload, eating disorders (hunger or overeating, use of "stimulants" such as coffee and chocolate). In young children, migraine is manifested by severe pain in the forehead area, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, nervousness.

Poster presentation on Botany 2018, annual conference of the Botanical Society of America in Rochester, Minnesota, USA (July 21-25).
Genomes represent a distinct and legitimate level of biological organization within cells, having their own unique evolutionary histories and with genome size (GS) as one of their inherent properties. One feature that has long puzzled researchers measuring nuclear GS is the tremendous variation encountered in many different groups of organisms. This project aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding the GS and ploidy diversity across one of the most species- and endemic-rich floras of the world — Cape Floristic Region (CFR; it has nearly 9400 species of which approximately 68% are endemic). It is relatively well-explored in comparison with other world hotspots, with available data on species distribution, phylogeny, ecological preferences, functional traits and/or biotic interactions. Currently, representative GS data are available only for a few Cape genera (e.g. Agapanthus, Eucomis, Gasteria, Nerine, Oxalis), while the great majority of Cape groups remain unexplored. Therefore, we want to unravel the extent of ploidy and genome size variation across the Cape flora and assess the evolutionary role of genome-wide processes (genome duplication, genome down-/up-sizing) in the genesis of the Cape hyperdiversity. In particular, we are determining holoploid genome sizes and AT/GC contents in a representative set of Cape plants using DNA flow cytometry. We are developing a public online database, which will store all available GS data of Cape plants and will serve as a primary source of GS values for this biodiversity hotspot. Around 1000 species have already been subjected to flow cytometric analyses by our team using both intercalating (to estimate GS in absolute units) and AT-selective (to determine the proportion of AT/GC bases) fluorochromes. Our goal is to fill the database not only by GS data, but also by chromosome counts and exact information of investigated individuals, including georeferenced locality, high-resolution scan of preserved herbarium vouchers, etc. The database should provides fundamental source of unequivocal and easily checked data on incidence, frequency and distribution of taxa with ploidy heterogeneity and genome size variation. Meta-analyses of such data will shed new light into extent of polyploid speciation in CFR.

The century-old Laurelhurst neighborhood in Seattle is a sought-after area with scenic streetscapes.
For Bill Gates Sr., the fondest memories of life in Laurelhurst are all about raising a family. Gates — a civic leader and father of the Microsoft co-founder of the same name — has lived in the same home in the Seattle neighborhood since 1965.
Gates feels that while much of the surrounding city has changed with time, Laurelhurst has largely stayed the same — a family-friendly community with convenient access to the University of Washington, downtown and the Eastside.
His son owned a home in Laurelhurst before building his Medina mansion, and a number of other prominent Seattleites live, or have lived, in the neighborhood.
Yet most of its occupants are regular, middle-class working families who find that quality schools, along with a residential quiet not found in many urban Seattle neighborhoods, make it a great place to raise children.
“Nobody’s going there unless they live there,” says Joie Gowan, an agent for Windermere Real Estate since 1988 and who was raised in Laurelhurst.
“Our first house was in Wallingford, and we did like being able to just walk up to the restaurants or movie theaters. But when we had kids, it started to bother me a little bit that when they’re playing in the front yard, there are lots of people going by, and you don’t know if they live there or what,” Gowan says.
“I grew up in Laurelhurst, and we moved back [to the Windermere neighborhood, just north of Laurelhurst] to get that same kind of thing — you know the people who live in your community, and you all keep an eye on each other. It’s a tight-knit community,” she says.
While Laurelhurst doesn’t have a lot to offer the typical first-time homebuyer (most entry-level prices, for a two-bedroom house, start above $600,000), it can be a good place to move up to.
During 2008, 53 homes sold in Laurelhurst, ranging in price from $282,000 to $3.55 million, with a median price of $905,000, according to figures compiled by Windermere Real Estate, which noted that the typical Laurelhurst home has four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 3,020 square feet.
Within the neighborhood, home prices drop north of Northeast 50th Street, which is the boundary for membership of the Laurelhurst Beach Club.
The topography of the area, coupled with the spectacle of beautiful, well-kept homes and yards, makes it an easy place for newcomers to lose their bearings.
Bounded to the north by Sand Point Way Northeast and to the west by Mary Gates Memorial Drive Northeast, Laurelhurst sits on a steep hill leading down east to Lake Washington and south to Union Bay.
The usual Seattle grid of numbered streets and avenues is present, but frequently interrupted by steep terrain, forcing visitors to wind through neighborhood streets.
In addition, Laurelhurst is one of few areas in the city where street and avenue numbers overlap — you may find yourself at the intersection of Northeast 41st Street and 42nd Avenue Northeast, or even better, at the corner of 50th and 50th.
The history of Laurelhurst goes back more than a century.
In 1900, a group of 50 prominent citizens invested in the southern portion of the neighborhood to build the Seattle Golf Club. Members rode a private ferry from Madison Park to reach the course, which was moved to The Highlands north of Seattle in 1908. The clubhouse, at the corner of Northeast 41st Street and Latimer, still stands as a private home.
When access to the Laurelhurst peninsula improved in the 1920s with new roads and completion of the Montlake Bridge, the neighborhood saw a building boom.
The Laurelhurst Community Club, an organization founded in 1920 and still active today, was instrumental in getting built the Laurelhurst Playfield and Community Center, as well as Laurelhurst Elementary School, whose handsome brick building was dedicated in 1928.
The community club continues to be a major advocate for community involvement, safety and preservation. Jeannie Hale, an attorney who has lived in Laurelhurst for 30 years, serves as president of the 14-member board.
“To do anything, you have to have volunteers who really want to be there, who understand and care about the issues,” she says.
The community club produces a neighborhood newsletter 10 times per year and distributes it to nearly 3,000 residents, and maintains a large e-mail network and Web site.
The editor of the newsletter is the only paid employee of the community club.
The group doesn’t oppose development in the neighborhood, and in many cases has encouraged it.
“A lot of people think community groups like ours are just obstructionists,” says Stan Sorscher, a labor-union representative and physicist who serves as secretary of the board.
Expansion plans by Seattle Children’s hospital have long been a divisive topic among neighborhood residents.
“It’s a big part of Laurelhurst’s character, the bifurcation about Children’s hospital’s expansion — or encroachment, as some view it,” says Gates.
Part of what draws young families to Laurelhurst, residents say, is the reputation of its schools, both public and private.
The private Villa Academy is one of the oldest schools around, founded on Beacon Hill in 1903 as school and orphanage, one of the many such institutions established across the nation by Sister Frances Cabrini, who became the first American saint.
The orphanage and school moved to Laurelhurst in 1914. The orphanage closed in the early 1950s. The K-8 school attracts students from as far away as Sammamish, Marysville and Renton.
“We are fortunate to have been here since the early days of this neighborhood and to have grown up with it,” says Marlinda Siegfried, admission director at Villa Academy.
Public education has a strong reputation in Laurelhurst as well, due in part to the large and active PTA at Laurelhurst Elementary.
“When we moved in, all three kids went to Laurelhurst Elementary,” recalls Gates.
A major draw to Laurelhurst Elementary is Laurelhurst After School Enrichment Rooms (LASER).
The nonprofit, before- and after-school child care and enrichment program operates in portable buildings on the Laurelhurst Elementary campus and maintains a close relationship with the school.
“I think of child care as teaching,” says Sequoia Hartman, executive director of the program.
While Laurelhurst itself has none of the commercial bustle of such neighborhoods as Ballard or Wallingford, it doesn’t give up its urban Seattle feel.
There are strips of businesses and restaurants along Sand Point Way and 45th, and the University Village shopping center is just minutes away.
When asked what stands out about Laurelhurst in their minds, people mention how common it is for those who grew up there to come back.
“What has always impressed me is how many multiple generations of families live in this neighborhood,” says Siegfried. | 2019-04-22T04:47:57 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/laurelhurst-is-a-good-place-to-move-up-to/ |
The EMD GP18 sequentially followed the builder's extraordinarily successful GP9 although the latter model was still in production at the time. Very similar to the GP7 and GP9, the GP18 was slightly more powerful and came with the option of a low or high, short cab hood something that had only been upon special request with EMD's first two road switcher models. While thousands of GP7s and GP9s were produced just a few hundred GP18s were ultimately built for a little more than two dozen railroads. Ultimately, the model proved to be the least successful of the Electro-Motive Division's early General Purpose series. Today, several GP18s remain in operation on numerous shortlines and industrial operations around the country although all have since been long retired from Class I rosters. Today, two GP18s are known to be officially preserved; Rock Island #1349 is privately owned in California as Central California Traction #1795, and Nickel Plate Road #514 is located at Steamtown in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The EMD GP18 began production in late 1959 and is considered the last of the builder's "first generation" models. It used the final version of General Motors' first locomotive prime mover, the 16-cylinder model 567D1 which could produce 1,800 horsepower, the most powerful in the series up to that time. As with all GP models the GP18 featured a B-B truck setup (two axles per truck) and used GM's model D47 traction motors (the latest at the time), enabling it to produce 45,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort, the most of any early Geep model. However, its starting effort was the same as both the GP7 and GP9, 65,000 pounds. At just over 56 feet in length the GP18 was the same length as its predecessor models and did offer many visual differences.
The EMD GP18 was not nearly as popular as the GP9 (or the GP7), although that can partly be contributed to the fact that both were in production at the same time. Another reason the GP18 saw fewer sales is that by the late 1950s and early 1960s most railroads had filled their rosters, completing the transition from steam to diesel locomotives and for the time simply did not need any new motive power. Despite its lower sales, numerous railroads, particularly Class Is, purchased at least a few GP18s. When production on the model ended in late 1963 just over 400 GP18s had been produced (this included more than 50 examples of which were purchased by other countries).
Interestingly, no Canadian lines purchased the GP18 (although Canadian National subsidiary Grand Trunk Western did buy a few) and as such General Motors Diesel of Ontario took no orders for the model. American lines to purchase the locomotive included; Aberdeen & Rockfish (1), Baltimore & Ohio (1), Boston & Maine (6), Central of Georgia (8), Chicago & North Western (6), GTW (11), Illinois Central (29), Lehigh Valley (4), Louisville & Nashville (5), Missouri Pacific (the largest buyer, 146), New York, Susquehanna & Western (3), Nickel Plate Road (10), Norfolk & Western (48), original Norfolk Southern (17), Northern Pacific (9), Phelps Dodge Corporation (3), Rock Island (25), Seaboard Air Line (10), Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia (1), Texas & Pacific (5), Texas Mexican Railway (2), and Toledo, Peoria & Western (1).
Foreign lines to purchase the GP18 included National Railways of Mexico (37), Ministry of Communication and Transportation (3), Araraquara Railway of Brazil (12), Saudi Government Railway (1), and South Peru Copper (2). Despite lukewarm sales success the EMD GP18 was a reliable locomotive, as can be demonstrated by the dozens of units that can to be employed by shortlines and industrial operations around the country. Places one can still find the locomotive in service includes the Central California Traction, Minnesota Northern, RailLink, New York, Susquehanna & Western, Carolina Southern, Indiana Boxcar, Madison Railroad, Copper Basin Railway, Vermont Railway, Otter Tail Valley Railroad, Florida Central, Buffalo & Pittsburgh, Georgia Northeastern, and the Aberdeen & Rockfish still operates the only one it purchased #300. | 2019-04-18T20:23:21 | https://www.american-rails.com/emd-gp18.html |
Twenty One Pilots have been climbing the Billboard music charts since the release of their album Blurryface, which features popular songs including the #2 hit “Stressed Out” and “Ride,” which reached #6 on the Hot 100 this summer. Their results on the Hot Rock Chart are even more impressive. With the recent release of “Heathens,” their single from Suicide Squad: The Album, the alternative-rock duo earned the title “Most Weeks at #1 on the Hot Rock Chart” at 33 weeks, beating out Foo Fighters, the reigning champs at 30 weeks.
We were fortunate to see them at Hangout Fest in 2013 and happily drove two short hours to see the two-man band live at the Wharf in Orange Beach where they put on a magical performance. Literally. At one point, lead singer Tyler Joseph embraced his inner Houdini, disappearing from the stage and reappearing atop a concession booth.
The high-energy show kicked off with Tyler and Josh Dunn taking the stage in their signature red jackets and ski masks. With an electrifying light show and boundless series of stunts—ranging from walking over the audience in a hamster ball to death defying flips and leaps—the twosome kept the audience enthralled. Weaving through a wide range of songs including “Tear in My Heart,” “Lane Boy,” “Polarize”, “Trees” and “Heathens,” the talented duo proved their spot atop the charts is well deserved.
By the end of show, which was cut short by a looming lightning storm, Josh proved he is a force on the drums while Tyler captured the audience with his one-of-kind-style of rap while playing keyboards, ukulele and guitar at various points throughout the show.
Midway through the 60-plus minute set, they headed to a platform in front of the sound booth and performed some of their earlier releases in a more intimate setting within the crowd, further demonstrating their artistry and desire to connect with the audience.
Honest, real, passionate, heartfelt and energetic are but a few of the adjectives that come to mind when thinking of the raw emotion and unbridled talent they poured out on this tour, appropriately named the Emotional Road Show. But you should be the “Judge.” They’ve already announced some U.S. tour dates for 2017, including stops in New Orleans and Birmingham. | 2019-04-19T04:40:56 | http://beachcomberdestin.com/2016/08/25/live-music-review-twenty-one-pilots/ |
If you lived at least one winter day in a home without your furnace heating, you know it’s serious. Trying to stay warm by layering clothes and consuming insane amounts of hot tea is only a temporary solution in New Jersey.
Don’t worry – your preferred New Jersey heating repair company is just a phone call away. Make sure you act as fast as possible, because not only can you get sick from long exposure to cold, but there are other bad consequences. If you leave your home unheated for a long period, some of the pipes might freeze and burst – not something you want to deal with in the middle of a New Jersey winter.
Whether your home uses forced air heating or hot-water radiators, our experts at Advanced Air Heating & Air Conditioning can find and fix the problem ASAP. Southern New Jersey furnace repair is something we get a lot of calls about during winter.
The lack of heat in your home is not the only way furnace problems manifest themselves. Watch out for any signs of a furnace not performing as usual: making louder noises, cycling on and off continuously or not responding to thermostat temperature adjustments. New Jersey heating repairs usually have to do with a malfunctioning furnace or thermostat, but our technicians are trained to investigate and uncover other issues as well.
With decades of experience we have the skills, equipment and training to handle any type of heating and cooling in New Jersey. If we may be of service in keeping you comfortable with any type of furnace give us a call 856-256-7700 or schedule an appointment with the form on the right of the screen.
Most older homes with gas furnaces in New Jersey will find that they have the conventional type. These are less efficient and work on the process that the gas which is burned is initially used to heat the exchanger and then is vented quickly. This leaves a lot of the energy lost as it is vented out of the system.
A newer more efficient style is the condensing furnace. This type is different in that it contains two heat exchangers. The first works similar in capturing the energy in the form of heat from burning gases and the second heat exchanger then is used to absorb the same gases which have condensed exited the first exchanger.
The standard AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is used in the HVAC industry to set levels and categorize equipment.
Energy Star standards set a AFUE of 90% or greater to qualify for its gas furnace models in New Jersey.
Age – Furnaces typically last 16 – 20 years, however extreme conditions, improper installation or cheap / bargain units will have a shorter lifespan. This is a great time to contact us and start shopping for a energy efficient unit. Waiting until the unit fails completely usually means that you make a poor decision in an emergency situation. Being prepared and knowing is better way to reduce your long term energy bills.
Your furnace frequently malfunctions or stops working. If your furnace is older and runs louder you can usually hear it running at strange intervals or at short or long intervals instead of the “normal” cycles.
Your heating costs gradually went up over the past years. This can be difficult to know because one New Jersey winter may be more harsh than another and fuel costs can fluctuate but when looking over the monthly or yearly bills you can get a good estimate.
You’ve neglected furnace / HVAC maintenance for a long time, but then you are having regular issues with repairs. Most cases and units incur the most repairs in the last 2 years. Much like an automobile, you will have to decide when it is the right time to make the replacement. We will glad to help you with options, selection and our experienced opinion. Another good tip is to check into our regular maintenance plans. They really do save you money, bring you peace of mind and save you from an emergency in New Jersey’s winters.
Older, poorly functioning Furnaces lack the ability to keep a house moisturized and this leads to an excessively dry atmosphere inside the home. Some units have a humidity setting and this fails as the unit ages. This excessive dryness can irritate allergies, produce coughs, increase dust in the air and dry throat, nose and skin. You may even notice plants suffering and needing watered more frequently as well as creaking floors and furniture.
Is the thermostat doing it’s heating job efficiently? If some rooms are cold while others are comfortable it can be that the unit lacks the power to produce enough heat. At the same time the furnace may not be able to push enough air through the system.
When the furnace is NOT electric and has a Pilot light that light should be blue (not yellow) a yellow flame usually indicates a very poorly running furnace and can be an indication of carbon monoxide poisoning. You may also notice soot remnants on the outside of the unit or nearby. The furnace vent pipes may be moist or even rusted. All of these are indicators there could be a problem and needs attention.
Are you Hearing new and different noises while heating? Like your vehicle, a furnace can produce a wide range of noises, none of which are a good sign. Whistling, popping, snapping, banging, rattling or even squealing are a sure fire warning that something is wrong and most likely failure is in the near future.
Headaches, Burning in the eyes or nose, flu like feelings, nausea or feeling disoriented can all be signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. Poorly built units can develop cracks in the heat exchanger and this can lead to leaks which can fill the surrounding area with harmful gases. This is serious and can be detected with a carbon monoxide unit found at most home improvement stores.
To save you headache, we also offer convenient maintenance plans to ensure your furnace is ready for heating in New Jersey and there will be no surprises. We are your heating and furnace repair company in New Jersey. | 2019-04-22T00:40:42 | http://advancedairnj.com/?page_id=42 |
For nearly two years, Robert Mueller has been a silent participant in American government. Tasked by the Justice Department with investigating Russia’s attack on the 2016 election, he communicated with the public only through court filings—indictments, motions, plea deals. When was the last time in this country that a person was so often in the headlines and so rarely in front of the cameras? Sightings—Robert Mueller at the Apple Store, Robert Mueller at the same airport gate as Donald Trump, Jr.—were enough to make news. On Friday, Mueller concluded his investigation and maintained his silence. It was left to William Barr, the new Attorney General, to tell Congress that he’d received a report from Mueller, and would be reviewing it in the coming days to determine what Congress and the public can be told of its findings.
While Mueller was working, Democrats often interpreted his silence as a great strength, a sign that his investigation was far removed from the everyday scrums and tweet drama of Donald Trump’s Washington. Will that interpretation hold in the days and weeks ahead? Minutes after Barr disclosed his receipt of the Mueller report, leading Democrats—including much of the 2020 field—demanded its immediate release. As my colleague David Rohde noted on Friday, if Barr refuses to make the report public, House Democrats have vowed to subpoena Mueller himself. Surely, there will be debate about Justice Department policies and practices if it comes to that. For Mueller to testify would be an extraordinary step. But he was appointed in extraordinary circumstances, because senior Justice Department officials realized that public trust in government was at stake. Many Americans were expecting Mueller, when he was done, to be forthcoming about what he found. Preserving public trust now means breaking the silence, in one form or another. | 2019-04-20T23:13:32 | https://epeak.in/2019/03/22/will-we-ever-hear-from-robert-mueller/ |
Birmingham Insurance Institute’s incoming president for 2018, Ra’chael McNamara, has chosen Birmingham charity Father Hudson’s Care as her Charity of the Year for 2018–2019.
It’s a cause that’s close to her heart because it’s local and works with people in need right across Birmingham and surrounding areas.
It’s also close to home. Her brother Paul works for Father Hudson’s Care’s Fostering Agency, New Routes.
The partnership will raise awareness of the difference the charity makes to local people in the West Midlands and raise important funds for its vital work.
The Birmingham Insurance Institute brings together the entire insurance industry in the West Midlands.
With almost 6,000 members, it is the second largest group outside London and operates as a learning and support hub for insurance professionals.
Father Hudson’s Care transforms lives by supporting 3,500 people in their time of need every year with the help of almost 300 volunteers. The charity offers adult care, fostering, post-adoption support and help for families, young people and children experiencing difficulties via schools.
It works throughout the region to support at-risk women and families, vulnerable migrants and people experiencing marginalisation, exclusion, homelessness, destitution and isolation, and supporting people to recover from trauma, violence and crimes.
Father Hudson’s Care’s CEO, Andy Quinn, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by the President of the Birmingham Insurance Institute as her Charity of the Year.
"It meant a great deal to us that she visited our Day Service for adults who have profound disabilities and spent time with some of those who attend. We like our supporters to witness the work we do.
Ra’chael McNamara said: “I chose Father Hudson's Care for many reasons, some close to my heart following illnesses within the family with associated short-term complex care needs, and others due to the wide-ranging support services offered and the obvious need for charity support.
"Recently, I spent time visiting Father Hudson’s to see first hand the amazing staff without whom these services are not possible.
"My eyes were opened wide at the commitment and care of everyone, from the dementia care to the complex care needs of people with disabilities. It really does put your own life into perspective and is very humbling at the same time.
The partnership will last 12 months, with regular fundraising events across the year and President Ra’chael McNamara undertaking a special challenge in June 2019. | 2019-04-21T07:17:11 | https://www.birminghamdiocese.org.uk/news/father-hudsons-care-chosen-as-charity-of-the-year |

Climbing, history, and rare desert ecology draw us to this magical part of West Texas.
Hueco Tanks State Historic Site juts from the desert of West Texas, about 30 miles east of El Paso.
Her tiny hands find holds so small we can hardly see them from the ground. A spidery crack, a hair-thin ridge, a pea-size bump act like ladder rungs as she dances her way up the slab of stone. She moves naturally, effortlessly, like an animal in its element. This delicate dance of strength and agility, of balance and nerve and grace, plays out on a boulder the size of a house way out in West Texas.
It’s daunting to follow the footholds of a rock climbing legend, but we are here to try. Our women-only climbing group has convened from eight states to explore the vertical world of Hueco Tanks State Historic Site. Filled with prehistoric pictographs and fragile desert ecosystems, the site is open only to those with a permit or a guide. We are lucky. Our guide, rock climbing pioneer Lynn Hill, is here to unlock the secrets of this stone.
Zoom out, and the boulder field looks like a giant pile of pebbles. Zoom in, and stones that seemed smooth as sand now show lovely texture―pockets, creases, and folds―that reveal infinite paths up the rock. We are programmers, surgeons, product managers, editors, lawyers, and moms, unique in ability, personality, and style. Each one of us finds her own way up as others cheer her on.
"Lock in. Heel up. Smear," Lynn says, crouching on the rock face, dangling from bare fingers. We learn her language, try her techniques. She's teaching us how to fight gravity by using our bodies in mechanically efficient―if counterintuitive―ways. "It's difficult. How do you explain walking?" Lynn says, explaining how movements blend into one fluid motion. "It's like a moving meditation."
Hueco feels as sacred as a church to some. The Mescalero Apache, Kiowa, and Tigua groups hold religious ceremonies here. Named for the huecos, or rock cisterns that gather water year-round, it has served as an oasis throughout history.
Visitors today must arrange for a state-certified guide who can protect the vulnerable desert vegetation. The fragile ecosystem is part of Hueco's mystique, which draws world-class climbers such as Lynn.
Lynn is astonishingly tiny for someone who became a giant of her sport. Her 5'1", 100-pound frame and tiny hands would seem a disadvantage on routes where the next handhold lies out of a petite reach. But Lynn, a former gymnast, employs uncanny flexibility, balance, and strength to scurry up routes that defy much taller men. Once able to bench-press nearly twice her weight, she exhibits quiet strength.
We listen as Lynn critiques videos of our climbs. We try our balance on the slack line, a tightrope suspended a foot off the ground. We drink wine, do yoga, tell stories, and laugh like old friends. The few men hanging out in Hueco Rock Ranch watch from a distance, dumbfounded by the shift in estrogen over testosterone. "It's really trippin' me out," says one. "I kind of want to call my mom." As the party unwinds, we head outside to gather around a bonfire, visiting with another group of climbers who are roughing it in tents among the desert scrub.
In three days, friendships formed, the kind that withstand time and miles. Four women from four states reunited for a summer weekend in Kentucky's Red River Gorge. Others met up, climbed together, or stayed in touch through e-mail and blogs. Looking back, we all remember the same thing. Even more than the big-sky horizons and the feel of the rock beneath our fingers, we remember the spirit of fun and togetherness that happens when women lift each other up.
Lynn Hill runs private climbing clinics around the world, including at Hueco Tanks. Beginners are welcome, though previous time spent climbing outdoors or in a climbing gym will amplify the experience. Classes are limited to 10 people for individualized instruction and need to be booked well in advance. Find out more at www.lynnhillclimbs.com.

TEN couples in Cagayan de Oro City finally tied the knot in front of the altar last Saturday, March 23, during the mass wedding rites held at St. Augustine Cathedral, this city.
The mass wedding, according to the Oro Citizen’s and Wellness Center, is part of the aftercare activity of the Community Based Rehabilitation Program (CBRP) implemented through the City Anti-Drug Abuse Council (CADAC), as some of the grooms and family members of the newly-wedded couples are graduates of the said program.
“Part kini sya sa atong Community Based Rehabilitation Program nga dili lang hisgutanan nga rehabilitate sila diha sa drug addiction but gusto sad nato nga mai-strengthen ang family ties sa mga magtiayon,” City Administrator Teodoro Sabuga-a Jr. said.
The city government and the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro sponsored the expenses used to process the couples’ requirements, their marriage certificates and the wedding rings.
Monsignor Perseus Cabunoc, who presided over the ceremony, lauded the effort of the local government in organizing the event which strengthens and officially place God in the relationship of the couples.
He mentioned the importance of receiving the sacrament of matrimony as the newly-wedded couples live together and build their own family.
Couple Demuel Santaan, a graduate of the CBRP, and his wife Mayene Mampalaod-Santaan, for their part, expressed their gratitude and happiness that after six years of living together they finally got married.
Despite living a simple life as a farmer and a housewife, the couple said they are happy with their simple life and looking forward for a better future, especially when concerning their plans on having a child or children.
“We are hoping mahimo kini nga inspirasyon sa mga atong mga ubang drug responders, labi na ang mga kabataan, nga diay naa pa gyu’y paglaom,” Sabuga-a said.
After the wedding, the reception was held at the Duaw Park where City Mayor Oscar Moreno congratulated the newly-wedded couples. | 2019-04-24T00:32:50 | https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1798280/Cagayan-De-Oro/Local-News/10-wed-under-citys-anti-drug-councils-program |
