Buckeye Valley’s Zach Kreft completed the trifecta at Tuesday and Thursday’s MOAC Championships, winning individual titles in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200.
Zach Kreft won a trio of individual MOAC championships and Nina Hilt nabbed two of her own to lead the Buckeye Valley boys and girls track teams during Tuesday and Thursday’s MOAC Championships at Mount Gilead.
Kreft dominated the distance events, crossing the finish line well before the other runners in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200.

Hilt won both hurdle events with relative ease, too. She picked up first-place points in the 100-meter event in 16.08 seconds while winning the 300-meter race in 48.19 seconds — a mark more than four seconds faster than her prelim time.

Casual-Smart is made for a reason. So let’s use it! It has been a long time since the formal, old-school corporate look has merged with casual style. Even if you still work with a strict dress-code at office there are still some ways to break ( or let’s say ‘’bend’’) the rules silently.
First rule: If you are allowed not to wear a tie, you are allowed to wear anything. Just not sweatpants or a dirty t-shirt; but backpacks are ok. It’s the urban sophistication. There are many sleek & stylish backpacks you can wear to work. It can be practical, comfortable and chic if you get your choice right.
Keep your fabric choice high: Try leather or leather-like fabrics, sued, or canvas with leather details.
Keep it solid and muted colours such as black, grey, or beige. Navy is cool too. | 2019-04-24T13:04:01 | http://syndicate.details.com/post/who-says-backpacks-are-only-for-weekends |

U.S. President Donald Trump's tweet.
A tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump blaming China and Russia for currency manipulation was quickly contested on Monday.
Trump tweeted early Monday morning that "Russia and China are playing the Currency Devaluation game as the U.S. keeps raising interest rates. Not acceptable!"
His words came three days after the U.S. Treasury Department's semiannual report to Congress last Friday that China and five other major U.S. trading partners placed under monitoring – Germany, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and India — were not manipulating their currencies.
"This tweet reflects a misunderstanding of currency issues. China's currency has appreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar since Trump took office, which should in principle make U.S. exports more competitive in the Chinese market," said Eswar Prasad, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former International Monetary Fund China division chief.
Prasad told China Daily that there is little evidence that China is intervening substantially in foreign exchange markets to prevent its currency from appreciating further against the dollar.
"Invoking currency devaluation in the context of the escalating U.S. trade dispute with China is not consistent at this stage with the facts on the ground," said Prasad, author of the recent books Gaining Currency: The Rise of the Renminbi and Dollar Trap: How the U.S. Dollar Tightened Its Grip on Global Finance.
Nicholas Burns, a former U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, described Trump's words as "the real danger and risk of Twitter diplomacy by the president when he fires off the tweet without having talked to his advisers and without having confirmed the facts".
"The Treasury report last week did not brand China a currency manipulator. Now the president does. So it makes us look a little bit unstable and unsteady," he said on CNBC on Monday.
He said any president's words are "sacrosanct" and got to have credibility. "This reduces our president's, our country's credibility when he says things that are not accurate," said Burns, now a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School.
Trump had repeatedly accused China of currency manipulation during his 2016 presidential campaign. But three reports issued by the Treasury under Trump did not find that China had manipulated its currency.
On the contrary, the U.S. dollar has weakened substantially in the past year against most currencies, including the Chinese currency, the yuan, also known as renminbi (RMB).
The yuan has gained about 10 percent against the U.S. dollar over the past 12 months, climbing in March to its strongest level since August 2015, according to Bloomberg News.
Yi Gang, governor of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, said on April 11 that China has no intention of manipulating its exchange rate to try to boost trade.
Trump has been accused of inaccuracy in both his tweets and speeches. At a tax-cuts roundtable in Florida on Monday, he again blasted U.S. trading partners by saying "we lose a tremendous number of jobs and money with almost every country we do business with. In many cases, our friends are worse than our enemies in terms of trade deals".
He also reiterated the issue of a 5 billion U.S. trade deficit with China, saying "so we started a process and we'll see how it ends up. But we're going to win."
Trump's blaming other nations for U.S. trade deficits and equating the trade deficit as a loss for the U.S. are dismissed by most economists who say the deficit is caused by the US' own fiscal policy and low savings rate, and a trade deficit does not mean a loss or win.
Trade relations between China and the U.S. have been strained in recent months after the Trump administration threatened tariffs on 0 billion in Chinese imports under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974.
China has vowed to retaliate and announced its proposed tariffs on billion in imports from the US, including soybeans, automobiles and planes.
William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said that the Chinese economy is more complementary rather than competing directly with the U.S. economy.
He expressed on Monday on CNBC that there might be a good outcome to the current dispute, but also voiced concern if the two countries engage in tariff retaliations.
"If trade barriers go up, it's just bad for the U.S. economy. We're going to have more inflation, less growth, low productivity, just a bad, bad outcome," he said. | 2019-04-19T16:15:56 | http://english.china.com/news/china/54/20180418/1261524.html |

Written over 50 years ago, when the memory of Verdun was much fresher than it is today, this chronicle of the longest and bloodiest battle of the First War and possibly the longest and bloodiest in history is definitely not a dry account of troop movements and battle plans. On surface that may seem a bridge too far, but Horne establishes a national context through France's enormous suffering at Verdun - and beyond. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. He is presented as being overly cautious, overly secretive, excessively stingy with troops, having a flawed strategic I found this a superb look at the iconic battle of World War I. A junior officer in the 1960s, Powell wanted to avoid another Vietnam; they heeded his doctrine in 1991 but, as we know, in 2003 even Powell seemed to forget it.
I have a Sick Child right now, which means I'm currently running on less than three hours' sleep. Koska vuosi sitten en oikein tiennyt mitään Ensimmäisestä Maailmansodasta, päätin lukea aiheesta kolme kirjaa. He is posting links, facts and backstage material on our social media channels. In looking at the commanders, the German commander, Falkenhayn, comes off extremely poorly. My only complaint is that he doesn't translate any of his French quotes! Indeed, the French learned from them and French troops, mimicking their enemy, had some early success in the Somme. If you are at all interested in the battle of Verdun, the fairly modest cover price of the book is well worth paying.
When finally the battle drew to a close, it was with a whimper, not a bang. The difference was something that would become more obvious in the second World War but that was nevertheless visible even in the tender year of 1915: Falkenhayn was a commanding general, yes, but he was a German commanding general, and therefore evil. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. In another country -- 17. The final break would occur with, after Verdun, a new French offensive that would again needlessly sacrifice French lives in pursuit of victory and glory the title of the book is meant to be ironic. German storm troops had good success with their new techniques early in the battle.
These include the first use of flame throwers and phosgene gas by the Germans and rolling barrages by the French as they pushed the Germans back in fall of 1916. I know he probably speaks fluid french, but not all of us do! It does not suffer in the least that it was first published 50+ years ago, it is as relevant today as ever. But what made Verdun uniquely horrific was how long it went on for. Crispin's Day speech from Henry V. Wounded, he displayed violent bad temper in hospital; shook Paris by his wild debauches on convalescent leave; and finally ended the war in a mental home, suffering from chronic depression into which he had sunk after the death of his brother.
It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its simply one of the very best books I ever read. The Price of Glory stands by itself as a compelling read of a tragic battle, which Horne is so good at conveying to the reader. Some selfish but ultimately healthy mechanism insulates us—most of us, most of the time—from life's horrors. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. We had but one desire; the end! Well, the Germans guessed rightly that France would never surrender Verdun, which was a key fortress-town near the front lines. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there.
That infamous standoff at Verdun between the arnies of France and Germany will remain one of the greyyest description of war in my mind. He was the right man, at the right place, at the right time. Verdun:n valitsin luettavaksi siksi, että taistelun nimi on aina välillä ollut esillä kun kuvataan ihmisten mielettömyyttä. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. The psychological effect of this on the soldiers is…well, it can hardly be imagined. Of Petain: What manner of man was this amorous general who was soon to earn from his countrymen so much honor and love, that would later be replaced by so much hatred and dishonor? Not just bad in the trite war-is-hell kind of way, but cosmically, apocalyptically bad.
Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. World War I exhausted Europe; at the outset, its armies, navies and colonies held dominion over much of the globe, but at the end it was a pauper continent, with both victors and vanquished shattered by deaths and debts, reparations and revolutions. A must read for Lost Generation junkies. At the time of which we write, Petain was a bachelor of sixty, with commendable vigor for his age…With the commanding posture that was the unmistakable and indelible mark of St. It's been instructive to remind myself that French soldiers in the line at Verdun not uncommonly went eleven days without any rest at all. The French and Germans were both deeply affected by the battle, but they drew away from the fight drawing wholly different conclusions.
Horne quotes another writer who says War is less costly than servitude. For me, the only draw back was that while the author provides several quotes in French, he does not provide an interpretation. Take this humdrum little factoid: a quarter of a million men died in the Battle of Verdun. Though more pertinently this does offer valuable insight into a matter that Horne claims is without precedence in history and utterly unfathomable, namely the Falkenhayn memo. It shows that Verdun is a key to understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity. It's also strong on the experience of the battle for the ordinary soldier. The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916 is the second book of Alistair Horne's trilogy, which includes The Fall of Paris and To Lose a Battle and tells the story of the great crises of the rivalry between France and Germany.
Each chapter begins with an epigraph or two, many of which are in French or German. Published in 1962 it remains one of the leading English language books on the battle and campaign, being widely read and almost invariably cited extensively in Verdun-related bibliographies. Horne looks at the battle from all levels, from the poor infantry soldier in mud to the highest general in his chateau. Horne makes the case that it is the worst battle in history, even worse than Stalingrad, and he might be right. It's the story of the battle, rather, often in the words of the men who fought there. I'm sure any historian would say that's simply what happens in any argument. Let's just say I'm not a huge history buff.
Nevertheless, it's a highly readable introduction to the events that became seared in French memory. He has a splendid gift for depicting individuals' A. Horne makes the case that it is the worst battle in history, even worse than Stalingrad, and he might be right. So harsh were the conditions, so brutal the casualty rates, that it effectively broke the French army for the next 50 years, even, according to Horne, influencing French strategy in the Vietnam War. The problem becomes that when you know the eventual fate of your subject, do you downplay the triumph and overplay the tragedy? The prose is witty, erudite, at times strangely beautiful. | 2019-04-23T04:47:12 | http://fontidelvulture.it/the-price-of-glory-verdun.html |
Over the course of numerous months, various forms of terror attacks and murders have occurred around the world. From the mysterious disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi to the numerous bomb threats that placed 24 American schools on lockdown, it appears as though the incidents are only increasing.
On January 15, an upscale hotel and shopping complex in Nairobi, Kenya, was terrorized by a group of armed men with lethal weapons and explosives. The vicious attack lasted for several hours until rescue teams arrived at the scene and took control of the entire complex. Although more than 700 people were successfully rescued, a total of 21 people were unfortunately killed during the chaos. In addition, 30 more people had been severely injured and rushed to nearby hospitals.
Of the many victims that lost their lives, six had been the employees of a popular Nairobi company and were sent to the hotel for business purposes. As the attack was taking place, the employees helped protect people who were in serious danger. Moreover, they placed themselves in harm’s way in order to save the lives of others. Therefore, their bravery displayed true heroism that must be honored.
Meanwhile, the supposed terrorist organization that caused the attack goes by the name “Al-Shabaab.” Five suspects were recently arrested for being linked to the tragic incident. However, there is still not enough evidence to determine whether or not they are part of Al-Shabaab. There are also many speculations regarding a future attack that may potentially arise. In the meantime, police officials are doing thorough investigations to find out who is behind the attack. | 2019-04-19T16:20:30 | https://hhsclarionnews.com/world-news/2019/02/01/the-nairobi-terror-attack/ |

I want to say few words to members about the Village Aid Program (VAP). During my time I was President I was hopeful of working with the VAP on a few projects but circumstances beyond my control meant that this never materialized.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for the work they do and would be happy to see RCCM working with Village Aid on joint projects.
I have met Dave Collins and few of the other Village Aid representatives on a few occasions and it was my impression that they are sincere and dedicated in their efforts to provide help to the people of the Philippines.
I would not hesitate to recommend VAP to any club looking for a project partner and in particular I hope to see some join RCCM / VAP projects for 2009-2010.
Why are you are Rotarian?
I invite every Rotarian, and in particular, those in the expat community to ask themselves why they are really A Rotarian. Are you really here to serve? This is a rhetorical question but over the next few weeks this question will come back to you more and more as you ask yourself if you are really there to provide serve above self.
I have observed Rotarians that claim to be very active and talk a lot about past achievements . They might often recite the four way test but in practice they repeatedly break each of the rules. They play politics and in their own mind might believe that they are the custodians of a club guiding it in the right direction and only acting in its best interests. These types of people exist in all clubs and all organizations and always will.
Do you think you know someone like this? I don’t want you to Look at the person now because I want you to look at your own motives. It is not to those people that I direct my question to ask yourself why you really chose to serve in Rotary.
In life there is there is the universal 80/20 rule. This is not a scientific rule but rather a rule of thumb. Simply put 20% of effort will achieve 80% of the result and the remaining 20% of the task may require an additional 80% of effort.
The same rule seems to apply to member participation in a club. Only 20% or less actually participates in projects and of these only 20% actually drive the project. The rest are there just making token efforts and often eager to give advice or criticize. But of course, this, as we know is the universal complaint and experience of almost all past club Presidents. This club is no different in this regard.
We all understand that Rotary is there to serve those in the community that a less fortunate than ourselves but how many of us have real empathy with those people?
You may have pity but do you have understanding?
Real empathy requires being able to take their perceptional position or layman’s terms putting yourself into their shoes. This can be very hard to do for most of us. I doubt if anyone here has every really gone hungry. I doubt any of us have felt the hopelessness and despair many of those we claim to serve experience. With the advantage of education we can be fast to judge them but as humans we all strive to improve our situation to the best of our ability and that means drawing on our life experience and knowledge however limited it is.
Some may have joined Rotary to appease a guilty conscious about living such a privileged existence in the midst of sea of poverty and suffering, as if their membership dues alone absolve them from any responsibility. This is not a good reason to be a Rotarian.
Some join out of boredom or a need to belong. I have observed some that Rotary has become their identity – there whole life – which is very sad and they are not necessary the most committed and productive Rotarians – in fact some that come to mind are not good Rotarians at all.
Some join as a means to elevate their career. Membership to Rotary looks good on the CV of an ambitious person. They are there only to serve themselves.
Very few actually join to really serve the community.
When I joined Rotary almost three years ago I was new to the Philippines and was encouraged to join by my wife for the social aspect and I would acknowledge a component of the guilty conscious.
These were not good reasons for joining but the during that time I was exposed to rotary work and started to become inspired and excited by the effect on lives a simple helping hand can provide. It was not so much the projects my club was directly involved in, but other life transforming projects such as the clef lip correction.
I had high hopes for my rotary year in terms of making a real difference but circumstances conspired to deny me an opportunity to serve out my presidency and even initiate half the projects I had in mind.
There is a saying that if you want something done ask a busy man. David is an extremely busy man, probably busier than anyone else in the club yet he was able to pick up and run with the few projects I was able to initiate and do a fantastic job.
I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for David. He exemplifies a good Rotarian. I wish David every success in his Rotary year.
Over the next few months as David starts new projects I hope all of you will remember my words and question about why and how you are here to serve the community. You might think about it in the shower, while driving to the next meeting or as you recall anything that reminds you of this question.
I am not sure if David has mentioned it but I am personally sponsoring three children back to school this year. There are real back to school situations for three families and not just financial assistance to family struggling to educate their children. They (a boy and 2 girls all from different families) have already commenced their school year and I am happy for David to incorporate this as one of his projects for the club.
As a president it is very hard to enforce Every Rotarian Every Year to TRF. However President Dave can keep this promise that an award will be given to Every Rotarian Every Year.

Now since 2009, “The Rotary Club of Central Mactan” an International Service Organization which has a motto to all Rotarians aspires – Service Above Self. the means by which our club has been able to support various charities and community needs financially, and through physical participation throughout the Province of Cebu mainly in Lapu Lapu City.
Our gratitude goes out to our past SPONSORS, making it possible to raise funds to give back to our community. Our most recent Community Service Project “Water & Sanitation – well capping” has enabled Rotary Club of Central Mactan to donate php126, 588.00 to date.
will impact many lives no matter how big or small your contribution. With the funds raised, we will continue serving our community with support for local Secondary School scholars, programs for children with special needs and surgeries, International work with Polio Plus and financial assistance for the never ending quest for clean drinking water.
Note: Your sponsorship is tax deductible.
This is the first of our well capping projects providing communities with a pump in order to obtain water from previously open wells.
Open wells expose the water to more potential contaminants as well as place a burden on people needing to bring water up from deep wells using buckets. It is often women and children that have this job as the men are often out trying to make a living to support their families.
We are happy that we can both reduce potential contamination to the water table and at the same time make life a little easier for communities.
Putting the finishing touches to the new well cap with water pump. A concrete cover will be placed over the well.
As part of our drive to forge stronger relationships with other active clubs we have now signed a sistership agreement with the Rotary club of Capital City Sunrise Concord, N.H.
Spent the morning driving around with Barangay officials and our Rotary Community Corp coordinator for Gun-ob looking for open wells for our well capping project.
We visited ten Puroks (small communities) and found 8 open wells suitable for our well capping project. For this first site visit they only collected the names of adult users of each well.
This is sufficient for us to make an assessment about the suitability of the well for inclusion in the project but upon commencement a more complete list including children and number of dwellings will be compiled.
Our first joint project with the Rotary Club of Puerto Princessa was the sharing of our School Crossing safety project. Six of our school crossing kits were presented to our sister club for use in Palawan.
The visit of Club President Christopher Bennetts and President Elect David Poley coincided with the hand over of three of the kits to local school.
Before the handover the Rotary club of Puerto Princessa provided the school representatives with a lecture on School Zone Safety they had prepared in powerpoint. This was followed by the hand over and signing of a Deed of Understanding.
Both the School Zone Safety powerpoint presentation and the Deeds of Understanding will be adopted by the Rotary Club of Central Mactan as part of our hand over process for the School Safety Crossing Project.
The next day Pres. Christopher Bennetts and P.E. David Poley had the opportunity of meeting Mayor Hagedorn and telling him about our joint school crossing project with the Rotary Club of Peurto Princessa.
Following the signing of the Sistership agreement President Christopher Bennetts was invited by the Rotary Club of Puerto Princesa to be the Guest Speaker on his classification.
After giving a brief overview of his background and experience Pres. Christopher Bennetts spoke about the importance of Internet marketing for Rotary clubs and how the club website was increasingly the main face of the club to the world especially when it comes to finding international sponsors for club projects.
Topics included in the talk were site content, Search Engine Optimization, blogging, marketing and promoting projects, using other online resources such as youtube and social networking sites. The talk was followed by many questions from the members of Puerto Princesa.
It was agreed that development of our club websites was another area where the two clubs could share information.
For the Primary purpose of promoting goodwill, friendship, fellowship and interclub sharing resources in project implementation among the foregoing clubs in furtherance of the Rotary slogan of “Service Above Self”.
Likewise, this is intended to forge unity and common stand among the clubs on certain fundamental issues involving Rotary. | 2019-04-22T20:31:40 | http://vap-ripoff-blog.org/theothersideofrotary/RCCM%20cashed%20page.html |

Bangalore: In the U.S., top outsourcing customers such as Bank of America and several local governments are asking vendors such as TCS, Infosys and Wipro to deliver more projects locally. These outsourcing customers are also canceling job offers to foreign workers in an attempt to address anti offshoring sentiments and cope with legislative requirements of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP).
In the last few months, at least five new outsourcing contracts had new clauses which mandated that certain work be delivered onshore, reports The Economic Times. Under this regulation, Bank of America and other financial services organizations who have received funds under TARP need to ensure that they try and employ local American workers before hiring a foreign workers.
"Bank of America's Merill Lynch integration projects are being delivered locally because of TARP requirements. On any other day, it would have asked Infosys or other companies to do," said a U.S. based person familiar with the bank's outsourcing initiatives.
A spokeswoman at Bank of America confirmed that her company had canceled around 50 H1B job offers in order to comply with TARP. Several graduates from the University of Michigan are among many potential H1B workers left stranded in the US.
"Recent changes in U.S. legislation made it necessary for Bank of America to rescind job offers it had made to students requiring H-1B sponsorship. Bank of America had very much looked forward to these individuals joining the company," said Kelly E Sapp, spokeswoman at Bank of America.
Experts such as Phil J Fersht, research director at Boston-headquartered AMR Research, say all TARP funded banks have canceled their H1B offers. "All TARP-funded banks are rescinding H1-B offers right now, except in critical roles and existing outsourcing deals where its imperative to have offshore managers onsite. It's a political 'hot potato' especially after the AIG bonus fiasco."
The TARP-funded banks are not the only ones demanding more local delivery. Several government customers including City of Tucson, which works with TCS and State of Missouri, which is a Wipro customer, have asked these vendors to move over 80 percent of work to the U.S., and create local jobs. | 2019-04-19T05:25:11 | https://www.siliconindia.com/shownews/US_companies_move_work_onshore-nid-58682-cid-3.html |

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz for 15 – 20 seconds. Pour into a smallish loaf tin (lined) and cook at gas mark 5 for 40 mins to an hour (depends on your oven). It’s cooked when it has begun to shrink from the sides and a skewer comes out clean when pushed into the centre.

ImmunoQuant is a research project within the e:bio - innovation competition on systems biology and is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). ImmunoQuant involves 19 project partners, of those 12 partners are affiliated with the BioQuant center.
ImmunoQuant is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Thomas Höfer and Prof. Dr. Roland Eils. The project term is Mai 2013 – April 2016.
Article in systembiologie.de issue 09 July 2015 (english) and Ausgabe 09 Mai 2015 (german): "ImmunoQuant: the race between viral infection and innate immune response"
The relative kinetics of viral infection (replication and spread) and the innate immune defense (IFN production, paracrine spread and cellular response) determine the outcome of the tug-of-war between virus and and innate immune system.
Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is crucial for understanding the normal functioning of innate immunity and viral interference therewith.
Lytic versus persistent infection strategies of the virus are linked to the specific viral countermeasures against the host’s innate immune defense.
The research focus lies on the study of the human pathogens DENV and HCV, exemplifying different strategies of immune evasion and of HIV-1, for which intrinsic and innate immunity mechanisms are becoming an exciting new area of research.
In order to characterize the quantitative extent, mechanic sources and functional consequences of cell-to-cell heterogeneity due to intrinsic stochasticity in molecular interactions and “extrinsic” cell differences, the methodological focus centers on live-cell imaging, high-resolution microscopy, flow cytometry and single-cell based mathematical modeling.
The project is structured into eight work packages, WP1 to WP8, and into four main research areas: The recognition of virus (WP1, WP2), the induction of the anti-viral state (WP 3, WP4, WP5), host-cell survival vs. death decision (WP6) and tug-of-war between innate immune response and viral spread (WP7, WP8). | 2019-04-22T21:05:48 | http://www.bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de/research/programs/immunoquant/home.html |
Emily Wight Dutch Feast - Good Food RevolutionGood Food Revolution | Wine is food.
Malcolm Jolley talks to Dutch Feast cookbook author Emily Wight.
Over a million Canadians claim at least some Dutch ancestry, and yet one might be hard pressed to think of many Dutch dishes that have become everyday standards. Vancouver author and blogger Emily Wight might change that. Wight married into a Dutch-Canadian family that kept up or adapted the foodways of her husband’s grandparents, which she enjoyed immediately and got her interested in the cuisine of the Netherlands. Her new cookbook Dutch Feast combines traditional Dutch recipes with one influenced by the spices and flavours of the former Dutch colonies, like Indonesia, as well as modern takes on everything from snacks to desserts to comfort foods and anything else in between or beyond. It’s more than practical, it also pretty and full of colour photographs by Tracie Kusiewicz. Wight also provides more than straight forward recipes, she includes notes on the history and place in Dutch culture of each category of dish, for those of us who wish to know more than just ‘how’ but also ‘why’.
I met Emily Wight in Toronto recently to talk more about Dutch Feast and the cuisine that inspired it. We began by eating a butter cake from the book. A “non traditional” one, with saffron and pastiche’s instead of almond. (Delicious, like an exotic shortbread.) Wight explained that Dutch dessert tradition is mostly focused on things eat during the day, with a coffee. So that’ what we did. We had a coffee in my kitchen, and I had a second piece of butter cake while we engaged in the chat below.
This interview has been edited for clarity, length, and style.
Good Food Revolution: Wight is not a Dutch name, so I understand it’s your husband who is the Dutchman?
Emily Wight: Yes, he is a Vanderwood.
Good Food Revolution: OK, but what about you? I know that you run a successful food blog in Vancouver, and that this is your second published cookbook, but what’s your background? How can we introduce you to GFR readers?
Emily Wight: Well, I do a little bit of everything. My background is creative writing; I studied at UBC. I had to write a lot at UBC, but when I graduated I wasn’t writing as much anymore so I started the blog [wellfedflatbroke.com] because I was used to producing and I had to dump my brain somewhere, and it’s done pretty well, although I should probably update more than I do. Anyway I wrote a book [Well Fed Flat Broke] based on the blog about budget friendly cooking. At that time I was recently graduated, my student loans were kicking in and I had recently got married so I was living on a shoestring. That did really well.
Good Food Revolution: So why the shift in focus?
Emily Wight: I have always been interested in Dutch cuisine. I think there’s something in the national character: you don’t brag. So, the Dutch don’t talk a lot about their cuisine. Many of the delicacies you would only see if you were in a Dutch community, or if you went to a Dutch bazaar or store. I wanted to tell people about them. There’s a lot of good food there.
Good Food Revolution: And you were introduced to it through your husband and his family? Are they recent immigrants?
Emily Wight: No, Nick’s grandparents came from Friesland after the Second World War. Canadians liberated their village and they quite fond of the Canadians and they came here and settled in Edmonton originally.
Good Food Revolution: There is a pretty good Canadian-Dutch relationship, right? Queen Beatrice was born in Ottawa, for instance.
Emily Wight: There is a positive relationship all the way around. I remember the first time I went over [to my husband’s family] for dinner. I wasn’t eating meat at the time. They had made Nasi Goreng for me, with is an Indonesian inspired fried rice dish. It’s the kind of thing you make with your leftovers. They had fried bananas and fried eggs, and I remember tasting it and thinking, wow this is incredible! I had never seen it before. This is before we started looking at Dutch food broadly, but it was so interesting and different. I would go to dinner there regularly and there was always boerenkool, a stamppot with potato and kale, long before kale was trendy. There were all these ingredients and recipes that weren’t common but that Dutch families were making every day at home.
Good Food Revolution: Isn’t one of the nice things about Dutch cuisine, because it’s a Northern European cuisine, is that it uses ingredients that are more or less available in North America? Like you don’t need olive oil, and olives and lemons? On the other hand, the Dutch were great traders, and imported all kinds of exotic things. So, I’m not sure where I’m going with this.
Emily Wight: If you look at a lot of the Dutch Masters art, it’s a bit of a brag. They would show they had grapes and lemons. But a lot of Dutch food is really simple, using root vegetables, hardy greens, and butter. All things that you can get easily. And they’re such comforting foods.
Good Food Revolution: I don’t know if it’s the case in Western Canada, but the Dutch were huge agricultural pioneers in this part of the country and even to this day there are Dutch immigrants who come here to farm.
Emily Wight: There’s an area just outside Vancouver called Ladner. When we were taking the train up to north to Friesland to visit Nick’s relatives, it looked a lot like Ladner. And they’re both fairly rainy climates, so if you’re Dutch and settle in BC, you’ll feel right at home.
Good Food Revolution: So how did you get to be on that train, researching Dutch food? When did you start cooking dutch?
Emily Wight: It started with the cheese. There’s a Dutch store in New Westminster, Holland Shopping Centre, where I really started to explore. We would just pick up interesting looking things. It was a multi-year process of learning, for sure. But when I committed to the book, we really started learn a lot more, studying regional dishes. Things like mussel soup, which aren’t things my husband’s family ate. It opened up a whole new world.
Good Food Revolution: So, Dutch Feast isn’t a family recipe cookbook, this is more an overview? This Emily Wight the food writer taking on a subject of interest.
Good Food Revolution: Uh, yeah.
Emily Wight: But I think there’s similarities. A period of poverty after the war where the cuisine suffered. Now, people in Netherlands are rediscovering some of the old recipes, and old ways of doing things. It’s the same kind of thing. There are these great nourishing dishes there. I mean you don’t have a culture of really tall, happy people on crap food! So, I wanted to know more about that, and we ate really well when we were there.
Good Food Revolution: When did you go and for how long?
Emily Wight: We went when the book was nearly fully formed, and we went on a two week mission just to eat. We took our son, who was four when we went (he’s six now). He loved it. Everywhere we would go they would wonderful things for kids: pancakes, chocolate toast. It’s kid heaven. The dairy case in the grocery store is enormous, and at the end you can buy pitchers of pudding. So, after dinner you can pour yourself a bowl of pudding! Anyway, it was two weeks of designated eating and a very brooding trip, in many ways.
Good Food Revolution: Did anything, other than pudding pitchers, surprise you?
Emily Wight: Just how flavourful the food is. When you talk to Dutch people, a lot of them will say, ‘What is there to Dutch food? It’s a lot of mush.’ And they do love a potato masher and a bowl of mush, but but there are all these really interesting spices and subtle details. For instance, saffron in things, like mussel soup, is really nice, and maybe a little unexpected. Some of the dishes end up being really refined. The geography is also really interning. In the south, they are close to Germany, so you’ve got really delicate tarts and interesting things like that.
Good Food Revolution: Are there some areas or regions where you enjoyed the food more than others?
Good Food Revolution: I’m not sure I like where this going!
Emily Wight: Ha! They didn’t eat him. There’s a statue of him in the town square. Anyway, they figured out what to do. They opened up the dykes and flooded the land and the Spanish had to flee. As they were leaking somebody found a big pot of stew. That’s the origin of hutspot, the traditional mash of potatoes, carrots and things. They celebrate the end of the Siege of Leiden every year on October 3rd with a big bowl of this mash of potatoes and carrots, and a nice stew or meatballs.
Good Food Revolution: If someone was interested in Dutch cuisine and bought your book, where would you suggest they start?
Emily Wight: Well, I think the mustard soup is a really interesting and unusual dish, but you wouldn’t necessarily know there was mustard in it when you’re eating it. It just has a really warm, savoury quality. There’s a little bit of curry powder in there, it’s thickened with eggs, and it’s really easy to make. So, that’s not a bad introduction. And, I recommend the butter cake. It’s one of my favourites. And it makes your place smell so good.
Good Food Revolution: It’s really good. And again, the spices in the book and Dutch cuisine were, for me, a cool surprise.
Emily Wight: The Dutch got out there. They were interested in spices and colonized parts of the world where they come from, like Indonesia, and also where sugar was a big motivator, like the Caribbean. they travelled and they brought a lot back with them, so there are a lot international flavours to Dutch cuisine, that you might not find in other cuisines. Surinam, for example, is a great source of really interesting food. What I tried to do with Dutch Feast is include traditional Dutch recipes, some Canadianized recipes and also ones from around the Dutch world.
Dutch Feast can be found wherever good cookbooks are sold, like Good Egg in Kensington Market. Emily Wight keeps a blog at wellfedflatbroke.com. | 2019-04-21T16:02:04 | https://www.goodfoodrevolution.com/emily-wight-dutch-feast/ |
As we know, Puccini was always very picky when it came to finding a new story to set to music: his biggest failure was Edgar, at least partially due to the libretto, yes, but also to the fact that he could never fall in love with the hero. A mistake he swore to make never again. Finding great artists to collaborate with was not the problem: the problem was finding the right artist with the right story. It’s in this canvas that the collaboration between Puccini and one of the greatest Italian poets of all times, Giovanni Pascoli, tried to come to life.
Pascoli, a great admirer of the composer, wanted to write for the theater but due to different circumstances and, most likely, to the impossibility of finding a common ground, the collaboration never materialized.
Giovanni Pascoli (1855–1912) was one of the greatest poets in Italian history and, along with Gabriele D’Annunzio, the emblem of decadent poetry.
Il Fanciullino, a sort of personal manifesto published in 1897, shows an idea of poetry as an intimate thing, geared towards the everyday life and the praise of the childhood qualities inherent to every human being. Pascoli shows in his works idealistic and spiritual tendencies, typical of the end of the 19th century.
A great opera lover, Pascoli used the few pennies he had as a student to go the theater and when he took his sister Ilda in his house, he celebrated by taking her and the other sister, Maria, to the opera.
In 1895 Giovanni Pascoli had rented a house near Barga, in the province of Lucca, where he moved with his sister Maria; Pascoli bought the house in 1902 where he lived until his premature death in 1912. This period was one of the most creative in his life.
The first document attesting a contact between Pascoli and Puccini dates back to 1897: with the help of some common friends, Pascoli let Puccini know that he was interested in writing for the theater; on his end, Puccini let him know that a future collaboration could have been possible after he was finished with Tosca. At the end of the same year, Puccini commissioned Pascoli an epigraph for a close friend, Guglielmo Lippi, who had died prematurely.
was to visit Pascoli already in November of 1902, along with the painter Nomellini, but there are no details or proof that it ever happened. In early 1903 Puccini announced a visit to Barga, but the car accident got in the way and the trip was canceled. Pascoli sent him a heartfelt get well card, which Puccini appreciated. A few months later, he commissioned Pascoli with a sonnet to be published with an image of the composer surrounded by his female heroines, a promotional idea of his editor, Ricordi.
a Nagasaki e a Cefù.
drops of blood, drops of tear.
and you made your maker weep.
in Nagasaki and in Cefù.
Puccini promptly replied: “Dear great poet, I’ve read your card with great joy and I thank you for it. I too have faith in the flying of Cio Cio San!“.
It would have been another four years before Puccini went to Barga: his first visit there is documented by a 1908 picture, his second from another picture dating 1911, one year before Pascoli’s death. Both pictures were taken in Pascoli’s house, Puccini elegant as always, Pascoli looking like a depressed farmer, as always.
Truth is that the romantic idea of two great minds being great friends doesn’t quite find any substantial proof: there is very little correspondence between Pascoli and Puccini and even though they respected each other, their respective views of life were utterly different.
Pascoli retreated to the mountains, enjoying nature and its tranquillity, finding his way back to the innocence of childhood, living with his two sisters. Puccini liked nature for hunting; he enjoyed drinking, smoking, playing cards, women; he liked to have his friends around while composing. The mindsets of the two were opposite: Pascoli was an introvert, mostly keeping to himself; he could have never fitted in Club La bohème.
Moreover, both Puccini and Pascoli were not young artists anymore, but famous and popular ones: the first time they met, Puccini was 50 years old and Pascoli 53; Puccini had already written most of his masterpieces, from Manon Lescaut to La bohème to Tosca to Madama Butterfly; Pascoli had published Myricae (1892) and I canti di Castelvecchio (1903), his two most famous collections of poems. They were both at a point where compromising on many things would not have been possible.
Both artists had understood that: despite the reciprocal respect, they knew that the ways they envisioned art and life were, in fact, opposite to one another. Pascoli’s poetry is musical, evocative, rich of anguish and child-like awe; he finds the musicality through the words, breaking up with the tradition in order to find new and free ways to connect with the soul.
In a way, this can be said for Puccini as well, at least partially: he would never send anything out to the audience which wasn’t aimed to touch its soul. However, as Verdi himself had pointed out, Puccini was the bridge between tradition and innovation. Even though Madama Butterfly is the opera that breaks the patterns (preparing for La Fanciulla del West), it doesn’t go in the direction of Pascoli’s poetry: the innocence of the child is there in Cio Cio San, but not as something to go back to, rather as something that will be inevitably broken.
The poetry of Pascoli is rich of musicality, yes; but musicality does not mean “musicability” in the sense of being apt to be set to music: a poem is made of small verses, singing to themselves, serving themselves in order to create their own private universe; and it is, in its form, bound to be concise. An opera libretto is a long list of verses, where the words need to be practical in order to serve the action, the stage.
Pascoli’s best and most renowned works remain the ones from Myricae and from I canti di Castelvecchio where he’s pacified by the sounds, the colors, the smells of his childhood, trying to make sense of the injustices of life, like the murder of his father. Where Puccini takes the bull by the horns, going into the world with a larger-than-life attitude, Pascoli retreats to the mountains, trying to recreate with his two sisters the serene microcosm of his early years. The melancholic tendencies of Pascoli are marked by his life events (and by his background in Latin and Greek where tragedy certainly was not sparse) and carry a sense of inevitability without any charm. Puccini’s melancholy is much more romantic, and rich of small every-day-life details: the pink bonnet in La Bohème, along with the snow, the friends, the lack of money but the richness of the heart: it’s a more practical and less philosophical approach.
Between the most likely impossible collaboration between the two artists, came, also, life: Puccini was traveling more and more while Pascoli was going down the vortex of depression and alcoholism. Diagnosed with hepatic cirrhosis, the poet dies in 1912. Puccini was present at the funeral and, together with Nomellini, a few months later at a commemoration in Barga. The respect for a great artist never died. | 2019-04-21T02:09:45 | https://www.artaxmusic.com/pascoli-puccini/ |

While in the floor has been useful for decades in houses and organizations in Europe laminate floor is relatively new to us. Laminate floors is really a tough flooring exterior which can be basically split during create. A laminate flooring is made up of best use coating, which is typically aluminum oxide, that is lengthy sustained, a print layer which will be the routine of your selection (wood or ceramic), an intrinsic primary, as well as a backing, which are fused together.

This is the seventh part of a new series I’m calling Blogmatics. It’s an attempt on my part to lay out as best I can in as brief a manner as I can all the theological assumptions behind my blog posts.
I remember back in my youth group days we all used to get fired up about this question. “The church isn’t a building, it’s the people!” we used to say without a doubt in our minds. I still hear that line tossed out by people of all ages and all theological persuasions.
On the surface it sounds so true, almost liberating as if denouncing the formality of a church building or institution frees us from all the things that we think are foreign to the faith.
As I’ve gotten older I don’t know that I’ve gotten wiser, but I have become more convinced that the church is both more complicated and more beautiful than most of us imagine.
Is the church a group of people?
Of course. In Acts the church begins as the “ecclesia,” the called out ones, men and women called out of the ordinary, the mundane, and the routine to live extraordinary holy lives that would forever change the course of human history.
But even then there was more to church than just a bunch of friends hanging out, sharing a meal, and singing a few songs.
The great missionary and social work of the apostles, of Peter, Barnabas, Paul, and the rest were part of a coordinated, institutional effort to spread the gospel.
The early church, as Paul so clearly stated, was one Body with many fundamentally connected, absolutely not autonomous parts.
This is why Paul and Barnabas had to appear before the Council in Jerusalem. And why Paul took a collection from the church in Corinth to Jerusalem. It’s also why Paul and the rest of the New Testament writers had the authority to write the letters to early churches, some of which they had never even visited themselves, giving them instructions, advice, and commands for how to be the people of God and how their churches should function.
The early church was never the autonomous, loosely affiliated group of believers so many in the church today want to pretend that they were. In fact, the very idea of autonomy is fundamentally antithetical both to what it means to be the church as well as to the Christian faith itself.
Because independence is an American ideal, not a Christian one. If you want to be independent and do things however you see fit, then George Washington is the founder of your faith, not Jesus.
As Christians we are not independent of one another. We are, by definition, members of one interdependent Body. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
So whether we call ourselves Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Nazarene, or Catholic we are all share “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” We are the called out ones together, not individually. And so we cannot bury our heads in the sand and pretend like what happens in one corner of the church has nothing to do with us simply because we’re not a member of that particular denomination or congregation. What one pastor or preacher or congregation or lay person does affects us all whether we like it or not. So, regardless of the name on the sign out front we must support one another, even as we hold one another accountable.
And yet I think there is a beauty in our diversity.
Do I wish there were fewer denominations? Absolutely.
But disagreement is not evil. It certainly is not a sin, nor is it necessarily detrimental to the life of the church because being a Body is about unity, not conformity. In fact, disagreement can be a very good and important thing when it stimulates growth and maturity in the Body of Christ.
Each theological tradition brings a important voice to the table, reminding the church of the complexity of her faith and, hopefully, keeping her from teetering too far towards a monochromatic dogmatism defined by the opinions of a few.
Our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters remind us of the importance of tradition and authority. Pentecostals remind us to leave room for the moving of the Spirit. The Reformed tradition reminds of the power of God. And Wesleyan-Arminians remind us of God’s gift of free will and the divine desire to be in a truly loving relationship with creation.
When these voices speak in conversation with one another, rather than denouncing the other outright, they come together to weave a beautiful, rich, and vibrant tapestry of the faith that no single tradition is capable of achieving on its own.
But, of course, this happens far less often than it should.
Because the church is made of human beings and human beings are not perfect, therefore the church is not perfect. Too often there is a tremendous credibility gap between what we proclaim and how we act as a church. We must always strive to bridge this gap through love, humility, and service to others. But until Christ returns to claim his bride the church will continue to have moments of embarrassing failure.
But those short comings on the part of some do not negate the importance and necessity of the community of faith as a whole in shaping who we are and guiding us towards who we were created to be.
Simply put, we need the church and the church needs us.
In the end God may choose to extend salvation beyond the church, but for now there is no Christianity, no being a follower of Jesus outside the church he established.
So is the church a building, institution, or people?
The church is defined by the lives of her people. She is led through the guidance of the Holy Spirit by the leaders God has entrusted with her care. And she is a physical place where the people of God can come together to be reminded that they are not alone and that the God they worship inhabits and is transforming the world in which they dwell.
Being the church isn’t easy, but being the church is who we are as followers of Christ.
We can celebrate it, criticize it, get angry with it, wrestle with it, or praise it.
But we can’t abandon it.
Because to reject that Body is to reject the one who gave us his Body.
And if we do that, we can no longer claim to be his followers. | 2019-04-22T04:48:50 | http://zackhunt.net/2013/07/12/blogmatics-the-church/ |

In this post you will be learning the various parellelism techniques that can be used in Apache Spark.
We need to use parallelism techniques to achieve the full utilization of the cluster capacity. In HDFS, it means that the number of partitions is the same as the number of input splits, which is mostly the same as the number of blocks.
If you want to check the parallelism default value in your cluster use sc.defaultParallelism in your spark shell.
In my cluster the defaultparallelism value is 2.
In Spark shell we can achieve parallelism by adding value 10 to the sc.textFile() which means the file has number of partition as 10.
To maximize the parallelism, the number of partitions value should be two to three times the number of cores present in your cluster.
Reduce the number of partitions using a RDD method called coalesce(numOfPartitions),where numOfPartitions is the final number of partitions.
If your data has to be reshuffled over the network, then use the RDD method called repartition(numOfPartitions), where numOfPartitions is the final number of partitions. | 2019-04-24T06:56:31 | https://josepraveen.com/2018/03/15/parallelism-techniques-in-apache-spark/ |

Crossing the Clyde Arc (or Squinty Bridge as almost everyone calls it) we see the Finnieston Crane dominating the skyline.
This is the end of Route 1 and a good place to pause for a break, with nearby tearooms and toilets, and buses to George Square. It is also a great place to see the new Clydeside in all its shiny splendour.
Dominating the skyline, the Finnieston Crane is a powerful visual symbol for artists. In 1987 George Wyllie’s giant straw locomotive was suspended from the crane for several months before being transported back to Springburn where it was ceremoniously set alight – in true Viking longship style.
We look forward to seeing you again at the start of Route 2 leading from here to the edge of Glasgow Green. | 2019-04-23T02:04:03 | http://www.walkingheads.net/tour_stop/clyde-arc-aka-the-squinty-bridge/ |
Processing attention and question density in computer-based instruction.
Abstract: The effect of density of embedded post-questions on learning from computer-based instruction (CBI) was studied among 90 sixth-graders randomly assigned to three versions of a CBI programme — high density, low density, and no embedded questions. Children made significant achievement gains across each increase in question density, consistent across the continuum of reading ability represented in the study. High question density facilitates student learning from embedded post-questions in CBI and does not appear to seriously diffuse processing attention.

In February of 1874 a frontier preacher from Ottawa county named E.T. Russell rode into Salina on a yellow Texas pony. Russell visited with all who had ever been Christian members, and arranged a protracted meeting. During this meeting nine persons were baptized in the Smoky Hill River, near the Iron Avenue bridge. And at the close of the meeting on the fourth Sunday in March, 1874 the congregation was organized with twenty-nine members. J.C. Rash, E. Hedenberg and Dr. S.J. Daily were appointed as officers.
From 1897 to 1910 David H. Shields served as minister of the First Christian Church. It was during his ministry that talk of the church began. But it wasnt until the the pastorate of J. Arthur Dillinger and Guy Findly , from 1917 to 1924, that plans were drawn and funds pledged for the present church building.
On July 25, 1922 the building committee and church board signed a contract with Salina architect Charles W. Shaver to create plans for the church. The congregation approved the plans March 21, 1923 and the cornerstone was laid September 21, 1924.
Description: The modified Gothic style church features a castellated bell tower with unique patterns on the window cusps, arches and muntins. There are 50 art glass windows with oak tracery. The interior features walnut beams and Gothic-flavored oak pews and woodwork throughout.
Members moved into the new building in February of 1925, occupying the basement for nearly two years before the sanctuary was completed. The church was dedicated on Sunday, January 30, 1927.
Hopcroft-Pringle Glass Works of Kansas City, Missouri was engaged to produce fifty windows in varying sizes and intricacy of detail. Records from the architects office dated 1924 list the cost of the stained art glass as $2,925.00.
The dominant window of triptych design is more than 13 feet at its base and rises to 24 feet at the point of the Gothic arch. The central panel is more than three feet wide and nine feet tall and depicts Christ in Gethsemane. The side panels have stained glass leaded designs which produce a stylized columnar effect with green and gold swirled glass outlined in ivory with rich brown accents.
The central panel was donated by the Rash Bible Class in honor of their teacher, Mr. Howard C. Rash, a charter member of the church. Rash organized and chartered the first documented Sunday School Class in Kansas. The first State Sunday School Convention of the Christian churches was held in this church in 1881. Attendance averaged more than 100 per Sunday during the first decades of the 1900s.
Prominent in the imposing north tower are six arched windows with colored and white opalescent glass in diamond designs. Each window measures four feet wide and eighteen feet in height.
The doors leading to the sanctuary are of darkly stained oak frame and tracery with inserts of softly swirling translucent lavender, green and milky white art glass. This same art glass is used in the eight panel doors at the back of the church. These doors, each 4 8 by 9 5, and more than 2 inches thick, partition the back section of the church to house congregation overflow. | 2019-04-21T14:35:00 | http://blueheavenstudios.com/history.cfm |
This paper proposes a model for analysing the non-linear behaviour of steel concrete composite beams prestressed by external slipping cables, taking into account the deformability of the interface shear connection. By assuming a suitable admissible displacement field for the composite beam, the balance condition is obtained by the virtual work principle. The solution is numerically achieved by approximating the unknown displacement functions as series of shape functions according to the Ritz method. The model is applied to real cases by showing the consequences of different connection levels between the concrete slab and the steel beam. Particular attention is focused on the limited ductility of the shear connection that may be the cause of premature failure of the composite girder.

Personally, I am opposed to the initiation of violence in any form, by anybody, or by any agency, government or otherwise. I cannot make inspired violence square with ethical concepts. Aggressive coercion, whether socialized medicine or initiating war with Russia, is at odds with principles which seem right. How this brute force can be used and be considered moral, except to restrain violence otherwise initiated, is beyond my capacities to reason.

No visit to Branson would be complete without attending a first rate country music show! Our group saw two great shows, the famous ‘Baldknobbers,’ and ‘Raiding the Country Vault.’ Other group activities consisted of a tour of the Branson Veteran’s Memorial Museum, and a dinner at the Fall Creek Catfish and Steak House, a long-time Branson institution where the servers toss fresh rolls to customers.
The annual Fund-Raising Auction was held after the banquet on Saturday evening. The auction lived up to its tradition of generosity and fun. Auctioneer Mark ‘Doc’ Holiday and his able ‘Assistants’ Randy Burkhart and Jim Victor artfully cajoled and coerced the crowd to bid generously! “Perhaps the most notable donation was by past Association President Leo ‘Short Round’ Williams, who donated three leather-bound original editions of the book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young, by LTG Hal Moore, autographed by the author, plus a photograph of General Moore. Bidding was vigorous on these treasured books! “Joel and Dorothy Chase of Manassas, VA attended the Reunion and expressed deep appreciation for the MEDEVAC rescue and medical treatment. Joel was platoon leader for D Co., 1st of the 5th Cavalry and was severely wounded at LZ David in Cambodia on June 14, 1970. He was MEDEVAC’d to the B Company, 15th Medical Bn treatment facility at LZ Buttons, where Dr. Jon Lundquist (then CPT MC) treated him. Joel would like to find that MEDEVAC crew and thank them. If you were, or know someone who was on that crew, please e-mail me at: <historian@15thmedbnassociation.org> or call (402)457-9807.
Ron ‘Huey’ Huether was recognized for his outstanding work developing and running the Association Web site. He was presented a Lowe’s gift certificate for $100.
The next Reunion will be Number 20-the 20th anniversary of the founding of the 15th MED Bn. Assn. and the first Reunion. That was in 1998 in Franklin, VA. “Dan Toothman, the 2018 Reunion Coordinator reports that the 2018 Reunion will be held at Williamsburg, VA, likely sometime between April 18 and May 6.

15th Med Bn Assn. Historian Needs Your Help! The VVMF (the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund) is the nonprofit organization, which was authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1980 to build a national memorial dedicated to all who served with the U.S. armed forces in the Vietnam War. This memorial is the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D. C., completed in 1982.
One of the projects by the VVMF is to complete the Wall of Faces. The following quote is from the VVMF Web site (www.vvmf.org).
Wall of Faces The Wall of Faces connects a face and a story to each of the more than 58,300 names on The Wall. Collected photos are displayed online at VVMF’s Wall of Faces, which features a page for each person whose name is on the Memorial.
These pages allow Family and friends to share memories, post pictures and connect with each other. The photos will also be displayed in the future Education Center at The Wall. To see the Wall of Faces, go to: www.vvmf.org/thewall There are 3 out of 43 15th Medical Battalion KIA’s without photographs on the Wall of Faces. These are: Charles S. Ridout, SP5, Age 28, Washington, DC -July 20, 1968 Gary L. Taylor, SGT, Age 20, Cincinnati, OH -May 24, 1970 Michael R. Wick, SP4, Age 21, College Point, NY -June 9, 1969 Also, there is a photograph of Armand A Sylvestre, CPT, Age 32, Nashua, NH-July 15, 1968 on the Wall of Faces, but it is of very inferior quality, and a replacement is being sought.
If you happen to have a photograph in which any of these Veterans appear, please notify the 15th Medical Battalion Association Historian at historian@15thmedbnassociation.org , or call (402)457-9807.

A giant space gate appeared in the skies above the Asura Sea. It constantly expanded before finally fully opening.
As this space gate appeared, the waters of the Asura Sea began to rise in fierce and turbulent waves. The elites of the saints and humanity flew out amongst the great waves. Although each one was wounded, they were all in good spirits and beamed with smiles.
Another crowd of elites had completed their final trial.
They obtained treasures and inheritances from the final trial space. Compared to their original backgrounds, the rank of these new inheritances was completely disproportional, a gap as great as the heavens and earth.
“What is your completion percentage?” A young elite excitedly asked after just having left the final trial.
Several youths congratulated and flattered each other. Because they had all grown stronger, they were all in good moods. Even if others had surpassed them, they still sincerely praised them.
A sharp-eyed youth saw a blue figure flash through the rising waves of the Asura Sea.
Several youths discussed together. As they did, several other surrounding individuals also began to chime in. When it came to the saints, Fairy Blue Lotus had an extremely high level of fame and prestige. Originally, the slightly older Good Fortune Saint Son had been able to suppress Fairy Blue Lotus, but now that the Good Fortune Saint Son had died, Fairy Blue Lotus naturally became the ‘Elder Senior Sister’ to every saint race junior.
As these words of praise fell into Fairy Blue Lotus’s ears, they actually felt incomparably grating.
Fairy Blue Lotus’s voice was cold like ice, causing these boisterously chattering youths to shrink back. All of them didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Indeed, in order to help the human and saint elites obtain a higher completion percentage, Ink and Clear had deliberately lowered the difficulty of the final trial by a little bit.
Even so, Fairy Blue Lotus wasn’t able to obtain a 90% completion. During this final trial her completion percent was 89, just 1% off from reaching 90.
But, to overcome this 1% was not easy at all!
Fairy Blue Lotus also knew that when Lin Ming first entered the final trial, his completion percent was 92.
In the past, Lin Ming was also only at the Divine Lord realm!
The Divine Lord realm was not a suitable realm for participating in the final trial. Afterwards, Lin Ming completed his Grand Reincarnation Art and came to the final trial again. Due to the emperor jades, he perfectly completed the final trial and reached 100%.
Fairy Blue Lotus didn’t possess the emperor jades so it was naturally impossible for her to achieve 100%. But in a situation where the difficulty had already been suppressed, it left her saddened that she still couldn’t achieve 90%.
She estimated that if she were to come to the final trial 10,000 years ago, then with the difficulty of that time her own completion percentage would be several points lower.
A deep and sonorous voice echoed out near Fairy Blue Lotus’s ears. She turned to see a large fellow flying towards her with a petite girl sitting on his shoulders.
They were the brother and sister pair, Highsun and Darkmoon.
These two individuals had a completion percent that was 5 points lower than Fairy Blue Lotus’s.
“92%...” Fairy Blue Lotus wasn’t surprised. The first one to break past 90% was Lin Huang.
Fairy Blue Lotus had watched Lin Huang’s training these past years. People said that Lin Huang was the son of Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian and simultaneously possessed the rare Asura bloodline and God Beast bloodlines; there was no need to speak of his talent. He also had an incredible amount of resources to freely utilize as well as the ability to study any peak inheritances he so desired. With such strength, a high completion percentage was what he should have achieved. If he were to be surpassed by others then he really would be seen as a joke.
However, Fairy Blue Lotus knew that Lin Huang’s progress relied on not just his talent but also his own hard work.
He had always maintained the title of being the number one figure of the younger generation and people would always praise him from behind, saying that he was ‘worthy of being Lin Ming’s son’. But, these results were all due to his unceasing training from childhood to adulthood, and had been exchanged with innumerable life and death battles.
To withstand such pressure wasn’t easy even for Lin Huang.
Fairy Blue Lotus turned to see Lin Huang flying away from the turbulent waves. She couldn’t help but sympathize with him.
At this time, a giant Black Dragon flew into the skies above the Asura Sea. With its two wings extended outwards, it nearly blocked out the sun and skies.
A black-clothed young girl rode atop the Black Dragon’s neck, waving towards Lin Huang.
She was Lin Ming and Sheng Mei’s daughter – Jiu’er.
Seeing Jiu’er, Fairy Blue Lotus sighed with emotion. When Jiu’er first entered the final trial her completion rate was only 80%; this result couldn’t be considered too high.
Jiu’er was different from Lin Huang. She had been accompanied by Lin Ming and Sheng Mei growing up and had obtained the best guidance from them. When Lin Ming and Sheng Mei broke into True Divinity, she had also been baptized with their Laws. However, what Jiu’er lacked was actual combat experience. Although her perception was astonishingly high and her cultivation progressed rapidly, her strength was actually somewhat lacking.
Like flowers grown in a greenhouse, although they were beautiful when they bloomed within, they weren’t able to withstand the harsh winds and rains of the outside.
The originally mischievous and lazy Jiu’er saw her own completion percentage and silently departed for the Great Desolate.
She trained in the Great Desolate, fighting desperately with the vicious beasts there!
No one knew what Jiu’er experienced in the Great Desolate. All they knew was that after a short hundred years she returned, and when she reentered the final trial once more, her completion percent had reached 87.
Such a rate of growth was astonishing.
Fairy Blue Lotus knew that even though Jiu’er often smiled and appeared happy, the truth was that her burdens were no less than Lin Huang’s.
Jiu’er originally had a playful personality, but that changed when her mother was captured by the Soul Emperor so many years ago. Although it was said that her mother as still alive, she feared that her situation wasn’t too optimistic, otherwise she would have returned already.
Jiu’er’s silent efforts were all for her mother!
“I just reached 90…” Jiu’er said, a bit depressed. But as this voice fell into the ears of others, including Fairy Blue Lotus, it left them feeling somewhat depressed.
From 80 to 87, then from 87 to 90, Jiu’er’s speed of progression was too terrifying!
After all, the final trial was not a test of one’s strength but of one’s talent and potential.
If a martial artist grew stronger their completion percentage wouldn’t necessarily become higher. Instead, because of one’s increased age, their completion percentage might fall instead. But for Jiu’er, because she was growing stronger far beyond her age, this was the reason why her completion percentage would rise by ten whole points.
If it were anyone else, they would already be thanking the heavens and earth for an increase of 1-2 percentage points in a thousand years.
And it seemed that Jiu’er’s potential had yet to be fully unearthed. Later on, it would be possible for Jiu’er to obtain a 95% completion.
“Big Brother, I’m leaving first then!” Jiu’er slapped the Black Dragon’s back. The Black Dragon flapped its wings and shot up into the skies. Even the clouds above were blown away by the violent winds.
Lin Huang looked at Jiu’er’s back and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He watched as Jiu’er left and then turned to fly into the Asura Sea.
During this venture into the final trial he had gained some enlightenments and needed to go to the Amethyst Heavenly Palace.
The Amethyst Heavenly Palace was also where Lin Ming had gone into seclusion.
Lin Ming’s cultivation could not be disturbed and no one was allowed to take a step into the Amethyst Heavenly Palace; they could only cultivate around it.
If one cultivated here they would fall under the 1:10 time enchantment and save a great deal of time.
Divine Dream, Emperor Shakya, Astral Vault, Soaring Feather, as well as numerous human and saint Empyreans all cultivated here. | 2019-04-24T06:33:19 | https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/martial-world/mw-chapter-2229 |

Winner of the CTBUH award for ‘Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa 2011.
The characteristic long and narrow floor plan design is a result of the need for a column-free flexible office space whilst maximising natural light throughout.
In order to achieve an open office space the structural cores had to be pushed the edges of the building and a solid A-frame shape was devised to help dissipate any wind or seismic forces. The weight of the upper residential section is spread across a huge steel beam that transfers the load to the lower A-frame cores.
The architectural design was partly inspired by the John Hancock Centre in Chicago.
The lower outside space is surrounded by a 200-meter-long pool and benefits from its own microclimate created by a shaded atrium which is naturally cooled with the downdraft of the building facade.
The east to west orientation shields the office spaces from intense sunlight in the morning and evening and the south face of the tower features shading elements which help to keep the building cool.
The building is crowned with 12 luxury duplex and triplex penthouses with private swimming pools.
The original master plan had specified two separate residential and commercial towers which were later consolidated into a single mixed use tower with offices on the lower 25 floors and residential apartments and penthouses above.
A sky lobby with restaurants, shops, a gym and a swimming pool divides the upper and lower sections.
One-click links to properties currently on the market in The Index.
The Index reveives an overall rating of 4 based on 6 reviews. Users were asked to consider many factors including the view, finishing, layout, noise levels, traffic, public transportation, parking, security, swimming pool, gym, and maintennance.
Index Tower is very well kept and feels spacious from the moment you walk into the apartment building to the corridors on the floors. Cleanliness and spaciousness is all you can think of. | 2019-04-23T20:16:19 | https://propsearch.ae/index.php/dubai/the-index |

Figure 9 from Simpson et al. 2017 in prep.
My focus in galaxy formation is on dwarf galaxies and the Local Group. I have done simulation work on isolated, low mass dwarf galaxies, exploring the interplay of stellar feedback and reionization. I have also studied the effects of momentum feedback on dwarf galaxy formation. In the context of the Local Group, I am currently working on a study of ram pressure stripping and quenching of satellite galaxies using the Auriga simulations.
Movie of Figure 1 from Simpson et al. 2016.
I am interested in the effects of supernova feedback on galaxies generally, however, recently I have focused specifically on feedback from cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are a significant source of pressure in the ISM of the Milky Way and may be dynamically important in large-scale galactic gas flows.
The movie to the right shows the impact of cosmic rays on the ISM and their ability to drive outflows. See Simpson et al. 2016 for more details.
I am a part of the development teams of the Enzo and AREPO simulation codes. These codes are highly-parallel, hydrodynamic and nbody simulation codes used for a wide array of astrophysical problems, particularly for cosmology problems. My development in both codes has focused on techniques for modeling supernova feedback. In Enzo, I have also developed techniques for improving the efficiency of cosmological zoom simulations through the use of must-refine particles.
I am also a part of the AGORA collaboration for galaxy simulation code comparison as part of the Enzo team. My work on this project has focused on cosmological nbody simulations. | 2019-04-26T04:28:19 | https://www.simpsonastronomy.com/research |

Hyundai I30 Vs Kia Ceed 2020 - Hyundai delivered several secured natural products and services in the Geneva Engine Demonstrate 30 days from now. We've today done Elantra next to the car, often known as Europe and America's i30 past. At present, Hyundai needs a action on the i30 - an Elantra wheelbarrow, by other brands. The Hyundai i30 2020 shows previous changes revealed by other "cascading networks" and softer, softer measurements. It methods 245mm over the lure, but still uses the exact same wheelbase, meaning more room is limited by the possible of the heap. The variance of the Hyundai 2020 i30 features a roof range that's clearer in contrast to existing Hyundai carts obtained from Modern Australia, alluded to as i30. Like vehicles, carts position in a complete assortment of welfare things including self-ruled crisis braking, ruling crisis braking, driver loss showing, programmed light, rearview cameras, how to boost, monitoring deceased areas, back-end crossing cautiously contrary to the action of your website and study the indication monitor speed. Hyundai has introduced inside following in regards to the addition of an 8-inch tablet monitor showing the monitor shows with channels and Apple and Android searching for smartphone technical glass innovations. Even so, you will see a 5.6-inch touchscreen with low requirements that not need mirroring or routes.
Your body seems powerful because of the bloated wheel curve and effective ribs that help the side of the car. For power that's a lot more distinguished, the Hyundai ay30 fastback gets a 15% tougher and 5 mm suspension reducing leeway on the floor than the Hyundai i30 common hatchback.
The general outer proportions of the Hyundai i30 Fastback 2019-2020 are not similar since the related Hyundai ay30 hatchai. Your body period is 115 mm lengthier (4455 mm), and the height is 30 mm smaller (1425 mm), the divorce between the axles for the soplatform design is indistinguishable - 2650 mm. If the whole Hyundai ay30 fastback all together is unique, in those days the inside repeats the master plan in the hatchback and place wagon, but with several orders. To start with, a wide normal human anatomy period is permitted to offer the luggage compartment an oddity greater compared to the hatchback, and this can be paid to the benefit view. But, further out, this really is also an uninvolved and underrated dome roof that disguises valuable millimeters over the heads of people in the rear line.
In addition, we have a advanced, sharp and relaxed salon with exemplary complementary resources, astonishing ergonomics from the driver's working setting and a big amount of advanced hardware. You will find profitable multi-utilitarian control wheels, tight and educational products, top boards that are purely delegated with a solitary 8-inch shading touchscreen media frame (route, bolsters for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), guaranteed flawless target with model cuts side atmosphere controllers, Clean flow to powerful target lines. The driver's seat and top wander apart from oral part assistance may meet the rear anatomy profile and thick pressure.
2020 Hyundai i30 shows three different kinds of engine oil and beside diesel. You will see an ordinary 1.4-liter suction program that forces out 99 pulls that present power to the leading wheels with a six-speed manual method. A 1 liter turbocharged inline 4 with 118 drives can be accessible quickly with an equivalent gearbox. The most effective conclusion exhibition turns into a 1.4-liter turbocharged model with 138 power mated to the six-speed manual or even a seven-speed double grasp system. Diesel is just a 1.6-liter turbocharged unit that provides 131 pulls. Then not far, we can also view a far more distinguished adaptation exposing the 1.6 or 2.0 liter engine that supplies significantly more than 200 pulls.
Often the Hyundai i30 performs around three various gas motors with diesel. Generally, there is usually 1.4 liters in an average way the 99 suction program expels power that sends the capacity to the leading side using around six rate managing. About 1 liter of inline 4 uses 118 power alongside 125 lb-feet of torque which may also be accessible with a similar gearbox. The most effective concluding event is getting a turbocharged 1.4-liter unit that's 138 hp and a combined 178 lb-foot mated with about six degrees of controlling or multiple models of multiple dual grasp systems. Diesel fuel certainly the 1.6 turbocharged program gives 94, 108 and 131 hp or more to truly have a volume as high as 203 lb-foot with torque. The second selection gets a indication selection that's indistinguishable from a number one finish gas engine. Minutes later down the road we can also view other running kinds that are better, 1.6 or 2-liter products that offer 200 hp for number reason. But, this isn't established around that angle.
Different Hyundai i30 may make excellent European sellers. The car will go for sale in Europe around the finish of 2019. The precise value given by the company is uncertain, but we calculate it will undoubtedly be $ 25,000.

Looking to modify blade and tiller range of motion on a '94 br 275. Any one have experience tips or tricks? also looking for a set of forks for the quick detach.
Did they even have 275's in 94? I had a 96 BR 400 so it makes me question the year? You'ld obviously need longer rams etc...not sure if you wouldn't be better off selling it and getting the cat you need though...could get expensive and the cat itself has already flatlined value wise.
Modifying the cat may be more expensive than just finding another Cat set up for the park but if you are determined to modify your existing machine which I understand. You first will have to extend the mount so that when you do add a longer rams you don't pinch your cab. It will have to be heavily welded since you will be basically extending the whole blade and mounts from of the machine. It shouldn't throw your tiller wight off but you may have to consider the overall balance of the machine depending on how much weight you add to the front.
remount the rams and hoses so they do not get pinched when you add the new range of motion.
The welds are the key and if done even slightly below perfect you will probably rib the blade off once you start pushing a lot of snow.
Best of luck. Sounds like a fun project. The 275 are nice to operate in the park.
yep br's were made in '94. just looking at the quick and easy: the curl ram looks like there is about 6" left of travel which really only translates to 3" but even that would b a great help. has bombardier ever made a replacement ram to utilize that extra space. There is a bison in our future fingers crossed. but id like to find out what can be done with the br for now.
I am not sure if Bombardier directly makes an extended ram but you could look into the ram specs of what you need and I am sure there is a ram made that would fit that space. You could luck out and find a ram off of construction or forestry equipment which you allow you to pick the ram up on the cheap. | 2019-04-19T20:26:39 | http://forums.slopegroomer.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=134&p=734 |

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGEWithin us all there is a silent system working to keep us healthy- the lymph system. Without it our bodies would swell up like balloons, swamping our cells with stagnant fluid. The lymph system’s impact is so far reaching that many don’t even realize that minor aches and pains, low energy or susceptibility to colds and flu may be due to a sluggish lymph system and a compromised immune system. In this article we’ll discuss the anatomy of the lymph system, what happens during edema and how lymph drainage massage can help, as well as contraindications to lymphatic massage. | 2019-04-24T18:39:24 | http://www.bamboolotusmassageandbodywork.com/lymphatic-drainage-masssage.html |

I cannot believe I am going to say this, but I miss snow. The last time I saw snow, was a few years ago when I flew up to Pennsylvania during the holidays. I was driving across the state with my father during a blizzard trying to make my flight back home. What normally would be a five hour drive became a crawling all day adventure. Ten inches fell that day as we followed the salt trucks along route 30. I was in pure bliss, watching the countryside turn into a magical fairyland. My father was ashen as he clutched the steering wheel, trying to keep our car from sliding into the guardrail. I felt as though I had been transported into a Currier and Ives print, a white winter wonderland that I could imagine myself traipsing through and tasting snowflakes. I simply could not take my eyes off the enchanting landscape. I made my flight, with only moments to spare. My father was exhausted, yet relieved we had made the journey unscathed. I felt exhilarated, full of a child-like wonder I had not known in years, the memory forever etched in my mind.
A similar experience happened to me the first time I had gone to Charleston during the holidays. The lobby of a grand hotel downtown was lavishly, yet simply decorated in all white. Numerous Christmas trees adorned the entry, all dripping in artificial snow, pinecones and white lights. I remember stopping, for I was entranced and instantly transported to my youth. I tried to recreate this mythical wonderland in my own home, on my own tree. It was a mess, one of those, easier than it looks type projects. It appeared like more of a stark, out of place in my living room, iceberg. I vowed no more snow from a can that day.
I find white themed flower pots, an encapsulated recreation of the winter wonderland that is reminiscent of the snow filled landscape. This month, let’s explore the South’s icicles and frosty interpretation of winter gardening.
Amaryllis Amaryllis hippeastrum 12-18” height Outdoors/ sun * Upright, very dramatic blooming bulb that is great, forced for Christmas bloom, which can be planted in our gardens for subsequent late Spring blooms.
Artemesia Artemisia vulgaris 2-3’ Full sun/part shade * Beautiful, graceful gray texture.
Alyssum Lobularia maritime 6-8” Full sun/part sun * Low, ground hugging and sweet fragrance, great in pots and will trail.
Cabbage Brassica oleracea 10/12” Full sun/ part shade * Very dependable in the winter.
Cyclamen Cyclamen persicum 10/6” Part sun/ shade In sheltered areas, these can be planted outdoors. They are very showy, offering color all winter.
Lobelia Lobelia erinus 3/10” Part Sun/part shade * More known for its blue variety, the white counterpart similar to alyssum yet bloom in the shade. Can be somewhat finicky, yet stunning.
Pansy Viola x wittrockiana 4/6” Full sun One of my favorites for pure charm, yet also the deer’s wintertime delicacy.
Paperwhites Narcissus 18” height Full sun/ shade * Great for forcing both inside and out. Will bloom anywhere the first year, then needs sun.
Petunia Petunia x hybrida 6/10” Full sun These are best when planted in the fall where they will continue to bulk up in width, then bloom in the spring. Great in beds and draping over a pot.
Snapdragon Antirrhinum majus 6/5” Full sun/ part shade * Plant in fall for great bloom. They will cease to bloom during the cold, but will thrive again in the spring.
Stock Matthiola incana 10/12” Full sun * Wonderfully fragrant, upright and surprisingly willing to bloom during the cold months.
Viola Viola sp. 4/7” Full sun/ part shade The quintessential winter wonderland flower along with its cousin the Pansy. Upright and mounding in habit.
I love mixing greens with my white flowers in a pot for winter color. I use various shades and textures of greenery to compliment and accent this palette. Ivy is indispensable, comes in many varieties, and does quite well in our winters. Vinca Vine is another evergreen trailer, with “Wojo’s Gem” being a favorite. Sagina, the Scotch Moss is a definite fairytale lime green, soft enhancement. The Herbs; Parsley, Rosemary, Sage and Thyme make wonderful additions to the white garden. | 2019-04-19T06:57:17 | http://karengeigercreates.com/how-on-earth-published-in-pink-magazine-december-2011/ |

In the fall of 2006, Herald-Times columnist Mike Leonard admitted that he fabricated a Congressional vote that never took place in order to take a partisan shot at incumbent Congressman Mike Sodrel. On February 28, Mike Leonard lied about funding for Ivy Tech, attempting to lead readers to believe that Ivy Tech's operating budget is funded by property taxes. On March 7, Leonard hit another low.
In a column about a dispute between Union Board and Young Americans for Liberty at IU, Leonard asserted that YAL was denied funding for a speaker not because of bias, but because YAL did not follow the proper procedure and allow UB to help with planning the event.
Of course, Leonard contradicted himself by saying that UB "got the 'cuckoo-cuckoo' whistle" from faculty and rejected the request because the proposed speaker did not have "sufficient academic credibility." So which is it, Mike? Was it bias against the speaker himself or was it because YAL did not follow procedure? You cannot have it both ways.
The issue of following proper procedure is a legitimate point, if we take a leap of faith and assume Leonard is being truthful. But Leonard just can't leave well enough alone. He could not simply make the point about procedure. He felt the need to smear the group and defame the students involved in the group.
Leonard spewed that YAL represent "the same people who opposed civil rights in the 1960s." Keep in mind that we are talking about college students who were born in the late 1980s, twenty years after the civil rights movement was at its peak. Unless YAL members have discovered the secret of time travel, it is simply not possible that they could have opposed something 20 years before they were born.
This is a typical smear tactic from Leftists like Leonard, who lack the emotional stability to engage a discussion on the merits of the issue and must instead hurl personal attacks at their political opponents. Instead of refuting the allegation of bias with an argument about procedure, Leonard was compelled to smear these young people and paint them as racist and homophobic.
Keep in mind that Leonard did not provide one single fact, one shred of evidence or the slightest hint of proof for his despicable mudslinging. Leonard did not even attempt to show where any member of YAL's leadership has said or written anything against the civil rights movement, "programs for racial and ethnic minorities" or "fair treatment" of homosexuals. He simply applied the Left's stereotype of "racist, sexist and homophobic" to discredit rather than engage.
In other words, he made it up. This is well below what should be expected of a newspaper in a university community, especially a university that boasts a well-respected school of journalism.
This is going to be a long year. Leonard is lashing out, and he is doing so without regard for facts and ethics. H-T editor Bob Zaltsberg should publish an apology for Leonard's vile smear. I will not hold my breath for the H-T to show a shred of decency, however. | 2019-04-19T11:06:04 | http://www.sstibbs.com/scott/2010_archives/blog_2010_040.html |

February 8 street date. The cliché circulated after the 2016 election foretold a new artistic golden age: Artists would transform their anger and anxiety into era-defining works of dissent in the face of authoritarianism. Yet Bob Mould calls his new album Sunshine Rock. It’s not because Mould likes the current administration. His decision comes from a more personal place – found in Berlin, Germany. “Four years ago, I made plans for an extended break,” Mould explains. “I started spending time in Berlin in 2015, found an apartment in 2016, and became a resident in 2017. My time in Berlin has been a life changing experience. The winter days are long and dark, but when the sun comes back, all spirits lift.” Three years in Berlin would quite literally shed new light on Mould’s everyday mindset. “To go from See a Little Light to the last three albums, two of which were informed by the loss of each parent, respectively, at some point I had to put a Post-It note on my work station and say, ‘Try to think about good things.’ Otherwise I could really go down a long, dark hole,” he says. “I’m trying to keep things brighter these days as a way to stay alive.” Raw vocals counterbalance strings that appear on five songs. Although Mould has experimented with small-scale string accompaniment on previous albums, Sunshine Rock ambitiously incorporates an 18-piece orchestra performed by the Prague TV Orchestra. Mould wrote the string parts, which collaborator Alison Chesley transcribed for various instruments with input from consultant Paul Martens. It all amounts to Mould’s catchiest, grabbiest album since Copper Blue, the acclaimed 1992 debut of his trio Sugar. Back then, Mould’s work in Hüsker Dü, as a solo artist, and in Sugar helped define the sound of guitar rock in the alternative age. Sunshine Rock finds him doing it again for an era that has ostensibly eschewed rock. | 2019-04-22T10:05:05 | http://fab.ca/e/search.asp?Catalogue_itd_Desc1=MRG650&s= |
Richard Bewes: He says it … He does it … He is it!
No, Christ is more than someone who dispenses wonderful gifts. He IS the Gift itself – being the original source of all life. You don’t come to Jesus for gifts. You come because He is Jesus! He is the one and only universal Resurrection and the Life. He says it, He does it, He is it!
At the tomb, they’re weeping – and Jesus weeps too. So He doesn’t look down upon our sorrows in calm detachment; He has emotions too. A friend of mine described her sense of outrage as the coffin of her father was lowered into the ground. Something inside her was shouting, ‘That’s my DADDY!’ What a difference it makes that Jesus, Lord of all life, shares the grief of His friends at these epic moments.
In our story, Lazarus, the dead friend, was raised. Here was the demonstration of Christ’s authority over Old Man Death. It was apparent in every one of His commands that wonderful day: “Take away the stone!....Lazarus, come out1…. Take off the grave clothes and let him go!” This was not THE Resurrection. Lazarus would die again one day. But the event took place – as Jesus phrased it in His prayer to the Father above “that they may believe that You sent Me. ”It was also something of a curtain-raiser for what was to come – Christ’s own historic, bodily resurrection – the prototype for every one of those who follow Him through this life and into the next – never to die again!

Paleo Food List > Is Spelt Paleo?
Spelt is an ancient form of wheat that has been grown and eaten for more than 7000 years. Although that may seem like a long time, it’s not long enough for our bodies to have adapted to eating wheat of any kind.
Grains were introduced into our diet about 10000 years ago, when agriculture was invented. That’s also when we started getting cavities and various physical deformities (including crooked teeth) as a result of malnutrition.
Spelt has been touted as a health food because of it’s status as an ancient grain. It may be a better option than the much newer dwarf wheat (that comes with an extra load of gluten and even fewer nutrients), but a better choice is not necessarily a good choice. Like all grains, spelt is still low in nutrients and high in carbohydrates and anti-nutrients (including gluten).
If you’re still not convinced that grains are unhealthy, Mark Sisson has no shortage of reasons to avoid them. | 2019-04-20T01:05:58 | https://paleoporn.com/q/is-spelt-paleo/ |
This page contains tips and advice for getting rid of flies, including fruit, fungus, and house flies.
Keeping Flies Out of Cat Food OutsideI have over ten cats plus kittens we feed out side, but the flies are so bad they won't eat and are losing weight. I have put fly strips, sprayed apple cider, everything, and gets worse!
Keeping Flies from Laying Eggs on Silk FlowersI need a spray to prevent flies laying eggs on my silk flowers.
Keeping Flies Out of Pet Food OutsideI need to leave some dry cat food outside. How can I keep the flies away? I've never had this problem in prior years.
Getting Rid of Annoying Flies/BugsI just moved into an apartment and can't seem to get comfortable because of these annoying flies. Can anyone identify what type of insect this is so I can research where they may come from and how to get rid of them. They show up out of nowhere. I've killed about 10 in less than 24 hours. They are driving me crazy.
Getting Rid of Flies in RestaurantI run a chop bar restaurant and the house flies are so unbearable. You find them all over the place, in the dishes, on the tables, chairs, in fact, they are everywhere and this situation isn't good for business.
Fruit Flies in Cat Litter BoxI have two cats, both are females and they have their own litter boxes. I clean each litter box once a week with bleach. I recently started doing this because fruit flies have been coming out of only one litter box, and it's the white cat's litter box. They both eat the same type of food. | 2019-04-23T03:11:31 | https://www.thriftyfun.com/tf/Home_and_Garden/Pest_Control/Flies/index.html |
In collaboration with Justin Jewett (aka Hateball, rocket society) i illustrated/designed a "Rat Fink" inspired vinyl toy. It was a ton of fun working with justin, plus the toy was sculpted by some master sculptors out in Japan which was pretty cool. It was a fast timeline but we made it :) luckily, and just in time for ComicCon 2014. One of the cooler parts of the toy was that he comes with a huge mask which comes off and on. | 2019-04-20T03:13:55 | http://www.chadatwork.com/zinewolf/ |

ID UFO is a 2-vs.-2 minigame from Mario Party 5.
A UFO startles the Red Team members, and it quickly flies off into space. While the Red Team turns to face the screen, the screen splits and shows both teams.
There are two sets of UFO pairs, one for each team. The team must Ground Pound two of the ten UFO panels simultaneously within a time window to match the UFO pair outside. When a panel is triggered, color and sound effects indicate whenever a player has a correct match or not. Once the team correctly matches their pair, their UFO pair flies away and a new UFO pair appears. The team that matches five UFO pairs before the other team wins and ends the game.
While all the UFOs' designs are unique, most share a few characteristics designed to confuse the player into guessing the wrong panel.
The ending for ID UFO.
The team that wins do their victory animations while the other team falls through the holes and floats in space. If no teams have any UFO pairs, the minigame ends in a draw with both teams falling through the holes.
Rules – "Find the panels that match the two UFOs. You and your teammate must do a Ground Pound on both panels at the same time."
Advice 1 – "To get a point, you have to do a Ground Pound on your panel at the same time your teammate does a Ground Pound on his or hers."
Advice 2 – "If you Ground Pound on the wrong panel, that panel will flash red."
This minigame, M.P.I.Q. and GOOOOOOOAL!! are the only Mario Party series minigames whose names do not have any lowercase letters.

Thyssenkrupp Elevator introduced ACCEL – the unique transportation system that offers high capacities and high speeds for short distances, with no waiting times for passengers and low implementation costs. With this new solution, Thyssenkrupp marks its entrance into the mass transit sector.
As congestion in urban transport networks rises in tandem with the population increase in cities, municipal bodies are under continual pressure to reduce road traffic congestion and combat the costs it imposes in terms of immense wastage of time, energy, and environmental resources. Thyssenkrupp ACCEL was developed to address this need in the current multimodal transportation network of large cities.
The ACCEL transportation system facilitates the building of passenger feeders to existing metro stations, making them easily accessible even to commuters who do not usually use the metro due to its distance from their locations. Metro system capacities can now be maximised with new access points, and by increasing the connectivity of current metro networks, the new transportation system could capture 30 per cent additional passengers. Implementing ACCEL works as an alternative to building expensive additional stations or carving complex underground connections, and results in a significant decrease in the number of road transport vehicles in use.
ACCEL is Thyssenkrupp contribution in aiding the urban shift from road to rail – the ultimate goal for transportation authorities in large cities today. By reducing transit times in airport hubs and providing both rail and airport operators a cost-effective solution that requires no complex civil or infrastructure work, Thyssenkrupp ACCEL is successfully catering to the current needs of our rapidly developing urban communities.
ACCEL also benefits airport operators looking to improve transit times between gates or between distant parking bays and the airport. With no waiting times or barrier gates, passengers need only 140 seconds to cover a distance of 270 metres, instead of the earlier 415 seconds, resulting in an impressive time saving of 66 per cent. For airport operators, it eliminates the need and high costs associated with providing buses, automated people movers, or sky-trains for distances of up to 1.5 km.
ACCEL can transport as many passengers as typical fully automated cabin systems, move up to 7,300 passengers per hour per direction, and combines smooth speed changes and the highest safety requirements for passenger transportation. Using a band of overlapping pallets that expand to three times the original size of each pallet, ACCEL’s revolutionary technology, applying the linear motor technology of the magnetic train Transrapid, ensures that passengers step onto the belt at normal walking speeds of 0.65 m/s (2.35 km/h), accelerate smoothly up to 2 m/s (7.2 km/h), and then decelerate back to normal walking speeds before leaving the system. For passengers who continue walking while on the belt, speeds of up to3.3 m/s (12 km/h) can also be achieved.
In addition to being easy to use, ACCEL does not require large teams to operate and maintain, is a perfect solution to fill the current gap in short distance transportation in cities and airports, and is a very competitive alternative to existing automated people movers for distances of up to 1.5 km. | 2019-04-19T09:03:14 | https://aceupdate.com/2017/03/11/thyssenkrupps-accel-a-game-changing-transportation-system/ |

Blended hooded pullover that feels as great to wear as it does to purchase, thanks to the earth-friendly recycled material used to help create it.
I needed hoodies for my crew, and Logo Up delivered. They arrived fast, and the logo was perfect...just what we wanted! I ordered different sizes for each one of my guys, and each one fit just right.
These hoodies are so comfortable and soft. They are true to size and pretty durable as well. I will definitely be reordering these as soon as we need more! | 2019-04-22T10:42:00 | https://www.logoup.com/Hanes-Fleece-Hooded-Sweatshirt_p_1816.html |
And how about the word consultant?
Does it evoke thoughts of that loathsome 'consultant' from the movie Office Space seeking to dismantle your business by indiscriminately hacking away at everything in his path that appears to be an 'expense' item?
You see, I'm all about sustainability and integration of divergent mindsets and opinions. Rather than attempting to 'clean house' or 'start over', there's a better way to improve your business. You need to be able to setup processes and workflows for your business that will enable you to realize a healthier bottom line and once in a while take a much deserved vacation! And that's without having to worry about the sky falling every time you step away from your business.
Data speaks volume to the health of your business. But first, you need to define a vision and a core set of principles for which you want your business/project/endeavor to align itself to. And remaining authentic to your own set of personal values? Absolutely essential. While I'm not suggesting we join hands in front of a campfire singing 'Kumbaya My Lord', I am a strong proponent of vision before strategy followed by precise execution.
I've taken on various technology and data science related roles for various hedge funds and a musical instrument retail giant. At the end of that 12 year run, I then decided to build a fully comprehensive convenience store enterprise management software solution for our family run 40 location convenience store chain pump.eat.drink. Then I became the chain's de facto technologist (hence the 'psuedo' CTO label) and data scientist.
One thing you can be rest assured of -- I'm definitely not trying to sell you my software because it's become too intertwined with the business itself.
With that being said, I can offer solutions that don't involve building systems from the ground up. And with the explosion of retail technology start-ups over the past 10 years, you should know there's a solution that will not only be cost effective but also well integrated into your existing technology stack (even if none exists).
So what exactly will I do?
You let me know that you need help growing your bottom line or just cleaning up finance, operations, sales and/or management. Note that I've ordered those categories in a particular sequence.
We'll then schedule a Skype call so I can get a better understanding of your business.
I'll put together a proposal, timeline, and cost structure of what it will take to achieve the desired objective.
As opposed to other consultants who offer solutions but are so far removed from implementation that you're left with nothing other than a bunch of hopes, wishes, and dreams, I only get paid if you realize your vision.
And if you still hate the word consultant or just don't need any help?
Keep on following this blog and my Twitter feed then also stay tuned for updates on my book which is set to be published later this year.
And if you want to meet me in person rather serendipitously? I'll be making my way many many times* through the trade show hall of the NACS show scheduled for October 17-20 in Chicago.
Otherwise, I'm not opposed to traveling!
The catch? Just make sure you've got a unique problem that you might think a thorough examination of data and technology integration can solve.
Really, I'd love to help you!
This is no joke. And I'm definitely not desperate for business.
It'll be a one to two pager report. And definitely no recycling of that jargon you might glean from industry publications you've been using to patch leaks in your ceiling.
My passion is to seek out unique data and workflow driven problems so that I can help you realize a collaborative solution. Call it a reversal of the age-old 'I can do everything' mentality, I truly believe that two heads definitely work better than one.

A couple days ago, I was with my parents and they bought some instant noodles. My mom and my dad are both trying to watch their diets. So I flipped over the box with my mom and she goes, “See – only 190 calories!”.
I pointed out to her the sodium percentage (42%) and I said, “Mom – the serving size and this information is only on HALF the bowl.” So in reality eating one bowl is 82% approximately of her daily value which is 2000 mg of sodium!
Lets put that into perspective – my mom, who loves eating fish could eat Cod fried in batter with only 100mg of sodium – meaning she could have 20 of them! Twenty!!
While Nutritional Facts are a mere guideline, it is important to read when you’re buying and making a decision. The box is based on a 2000 calorie diet, but give or take it is still fairly accurate.
When reading the Nutrition Facts, check out the serving size because that’s where they get you. Check out how much fat, transfat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar is in it – especially if you’re on a diet for your health.
There is no definitive guideline as to what you should and shouldn’t get – it all depends on your diet, but keep in mind the different facts when you’re doing comparisons at the grocery store!
For example, I picked up a cereal box and looked at the Sugar – it had more sugar in half a bowl than drinking 2 cans of pop! The next thought in my head was – do I eat the cereal that’s going to give me the same amount of sugar as two cans of pop on a daily basis? Probably not.
It’s also important to check out the ingredient list – did you know that they are required to list the ingredients in descending order of proportion of weight? So..if sugar or salt is one of the first couple ingredients, you may want to think twice about buying (unless of course,it’s a candy bar or a pretzel!!).
Remember that Nutritional Facts are in place to help you make a good decision, but it shouldn’t stop you from buying the foods you love! Just be weary of what goes into your body to live a longer and more food-filled life!! | 2019-04-18T19:02:52 | https://gastrofork.ca/2011/nutritional-facts/ |
I want to upgrade the RAM (now is 4gb). May I know the compatible RAM and upgrade capacity?
I read your post about upgrading the memory on your laptop and wanted to help.
On page 3, is shows that 6GB is the maximum memory and the configurations supported, as well as the memory types. | 2019-04-19T04:24:36 | https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Pavilion-g6-1273sl-Ram-upgrade/td-p/5638009 |
I have a lot of ways to motivate myself for workouts throughout the week. Mantras usually work “You never regret a workout”, “Running is a gift”, “Just get moving”. Sometimes life gets a little too busy and my workouts suffer. This week is a testament to that.
Well last week was probably not the time to start my weekly workout goals. With work in full force (often putting me home after 8:30 pm) it made it difficult to get in some workouts. This week hopefully started off on the right foot!
After my workout, I came home to whip up a quick healthy dinner. An Asian inspired salad with sautéed shrimp in red pepper flakes and OO, strips of red pepper, broccoli and a little Asian dressing.
Now I am relaxing with a little Real Housewives of NJ drama.
Question of the Night: What do you do when you are in 'a funk?' Do you workout, schedule something fun?
Real Housewives always seems to make my life seem so much... better than theirs ;-) And minus the yoga, you accomplished your goals, which I would call pretty darn impressive for the week I know you had. Love you! | 2019-04-24T04:00:36 | https://www.apinchofginger.com/home/move-tivation |

I have been slowly working on compiling a list of inspirational reading based on what has been recommended in the various Dungeons and Dragons books. When I left off, I was working through the authors listed in Appendix N of the Advanced D&D Dungeon Master's Guide. Next up for consideration is Leigh Brackett.
Leigh Brackett is one of the authors that is listed only by name in the DMG and is another one of the authors that crosses genres. Like a lot of the pulp authors of the 1940s to 1960s, she wrote science fiction that incorporated a lot of fantasy elements. Not surprising, since she was partly influenced to write by Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars books. She didn't stop there, though. She wrote hard-boiled detective stories, westerns, and numerous screenplays, including a draft of The Empire Strikes Back.
That Gygax includes her here without listing any suggestions is not surprising. A lot of the authors he recommends are classic writers from the pulp sci-fi era. The lack of suggestions leaves me in a bit of a lurch, though. She was extremely prolific. I haven't read much of her stuff yet, despite having a few things on the reading shelf. So I'm going to add quite a few entries for her.
Reading synopses online, I eliminated some of her novels. The crime and western novels are off the list. The other big category I removed is the screenplays. Eventually I may include some movies on the list, but I really want to focus on the solely written material first.
The planetary adventure novels are a given, especially the Eric John Stark stories. The Long Tomorrow is good reading for a post-apocalyptic game. The short fiction is on the list for now. Eventually some of these might fall off the list as I read them, but for now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Most of the short stories have been anthologized, many of them in multiple books. Where I own an anthology that contains the story, the anthology and the story are in the list in bold. Other stories have either one or more anthologies that I know contain them or the original publication listed. I know there are other anthologies I haven't listed. If anyone knows of ones I have omitted, please let me know.
A few of the anthologies and most of the full novels are available as ebooks from Baen books. The online samples for the anthologies are often one or more complete stories contained in the anthology. The samples for the books are typically the first chapter or chapters.

As some of you may know, I was a freelance writer before I became an author. I write articles, web content, blog posts and any number of other things. This is how I make money. Though I hope that as more of my books are released I can concentrate more on fiction and perhaps earn an income that way. I don't know if I will ever want to completely give up freelance writing, however. It's fun and allows me to write a number of different things and learn about topics I would otherwise never bother to learn about!
It's true of many careers, but there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes there's tons of work from tons of clients and other times things are slower. Right now I have two very steady clients that keep me busy for most of the time I have available to write. On the days when I don't have things from them that they need directly, I go to a few of the freelance writing websites on which I am an author and I can take jobs from their boards.
Monday, for whatever reason, I did a search on freelance writing and found a website that had a list of 20 different sites where writers can make money writing articles and other items. The site can be found here. Enough people have asked me how I got into freelance writing and where I find my work that I like to share what I can about the options out there.
I didn't have a ton of time to go through each of the websites mentioned on the above post, but I did look at a few. In fact, I applied at number 17, Writtent because it sounded interesting to me. I got an email a few hours later asking if they could interview my by phone. I did that interview the next day and now I have a sample blog to write for them. If I pass that test, I will be allowed access to their clients in order to write for them. I think...that's what it sounded like, at least!
These sites seem to be getting pickier about who they will hire. When I first started I created accounts and started writing and that was that! One some of the other sites listed on the site above, you have to take English, grammar and other tests in order to be allowed to write for them. It makes sense. They have clients to please and they want writers who can meet their needs.
So I plan on going through the rest of those websites someday. It'll be a great resource for when work is slow other places and I need something to fill the short amount of time I have. If that ever happens! I know when my daughters get old enough and they are BOTH in school I'll have a lot more time to mess with things like that. In the meantime, I wanted to get the resource out there for any other freelance writers or those who aspire to make money with writing!
P.S. For other details on freelance writing websites and tips, visit the "Freelance Writing" portion of my website. I list all of the sites I work for or have worked for and a few others where I have found jobs. | 2019-04-18T20:54:29 | http://www.authorbrookewilliams.com/blog/freelance-writing-update1 |
On Nov. 2, when “Bohemian Rhapsody” — the biopic of Freddie Mercury, lead singer of British rock group Queen — debuts on U.S. screens, it will mark latest in a long string of highly diverse films lensed by cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel.
The DP’s work, which goes back to the early ’80s, has encompassed war stories (“Three Kings”), dark comedy (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”), historical drama (“Marshall”), TV movies and series, multiple documentaries — and the genre for which he is perhaps best known – superhero movies, including “Superman Returns” and four installments of the X-Men franchise.
Sigel was attracted to visual art from a young age, and at first honed his skills as a painter. He experimented with abstraction, but always came back to more representational imagery that served a narrative. He arrived in New York City from Detroit at age 18, having been invited to the Whitney Museum’s artist-in-residence fellowship program.
Sigel soon began making personal films and, given the political turmoil of the time, he gravitated to documentaries with social topics. Soon he was travelling to the world’s hot spots with a camera, especially Central America. He shot a documentary that showed U.S. audiences the first images of the Contras’ secret militia in Nicaragua.
His work came to the attention of master cinematographer, director and activist Haskell Wexler, who needed a DP for what became “Latino,” a 1985 film set against Ronald Reagan’s proxy war against the Nicaraguan government. “What drew me into narrative and feature filmmaking was the desire to control the visual storytelling more than you can with photojournalism,” Sigel says.
Despite his subsequent foray into indie and studio features, Sigel’s name still comes up among cinematographers as an under-the-radar trendsetter whose films are considered game-changers – “Drive” and “Three Kings” being the most often cited.
“Three Kings,” directed by David O. Russell in 1999, took a bold, even risky approach to color, contrast, film stocks and lab processes that is still influential. “Drive,” directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, used the then-new Arri Alexa digital camera.
Along the way, Sigel has forged working relationships with numerous directors, working most often with Bryan Singer. The forthcoming “Bohemian Rhapsody” will be their 12th narrative project together.
The visual artist and social documentary aspects of Sigel’s mindset still have a strong impact on his choices. Director Reginald Hudlin worked with Sigel on “Marshall,” last year’s biopic about the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. | 2019-04-23T22:20:18 | https://variety.com/2018/artisans/spotlight/queen-freddie-mercury-1202984921/ |

On a rare Saturday off from shooting weddings, I had the pleasure of taking the Maine Snapshot Studio to Camp Sunshine's Pumpkin Festival fundraiser at L.L. Bean's flagship store campus in Freeport. I worked with Abby of Dead River Company to offer free photo booth snaps to anyone who wanted one. In the spirit of Halloween, I spied tons of costumes that needed to make an appearance in the booth, though I think I only snagged one costumed dog. I was glad I wore my long johns and layers to muster through the surprisingly cold day. But it was totally worth it for such the great cause that Camp Sunshine stands for and all the good that they provide to kids and their families with life threatening illnesses. It was an absolute pleasure to meet all the employees from Dead River who volunteered to help out at their booth. They even came in second in the pumpkin carving contest, 58 pumpkins carved in 10 minutes -- only three pumpkins shy of first place!
This was my first year ever at Pumpkin Festival and I was floored at how many pumpkins were lining the streets as I pulled in to town and even more as I rolled out. Every single one was lit with a real flame-burning candle. The goal was 10,000 carved pumpkins and a tent full of volunteers cranked out carving after carving all day long. The energy was great, the entire day's sights and sounds just made you smile.
Abby and the Dead River crew, it was great to meet you all and hope we can work together again at next year's event! I smell victory for you in the pumpkin carving contest! | 2019-04-21T21:14:01 | http://blog.emilieinc.net/2013/10/maine-snapshot-studio-at-ll-beans.html |

I’ve been meaning to write a report on this route for ages and only just got round to doing it, so this will be brief as its all from memory. I met up with my good friend Graeme in Hope and set off for Lose Hill. We didn’t really have a plan other than to head to Crookstone Knoll. We followed the busy path along Mam Tor and dropped into Edale where we sampled a few pints in the Nags before climbing The Nab to Ringing Roger. Following the Kinder path East we dropped just below Crookstone Knoll for a wild camp. I was using my MDL Duomid and Graeme using his MLD Trailstar. The evening was cold but dry and the morning was thick with cloud but cleared by the time we packed away. Following the Roman Road we got back to the cars midmorning. A very nice easy route, great weather and a few pints.
The report doest really do this trip justice, but given this was 5 months ago I’ve had to summarise it. Graeme has a great YouTube channel where he did a much better job of covering the route with a video, check out his channel here, the video here and his blog site here. | 2019-04-20T08:37:17 | http://www.ukwildcamping.com/crookstone-knoll/?shared=email&msg=fail |

For Christmas a few years ago, my partner, Teja, gave me a round yoga mat about six feet in diameter. When I spread it out and began to practice—by the twinkle of the Christmas tree lights—I was amazed at the way my asanas transformed. My gestures became rounder, less angular. I took up more space. I spiraled and spun. To my astonishment, I realized that my thirty years of yoga practice had been unconsciously shaped by the boxy confines of a six by two-and-a-half foot rubber rectangle.
There’s nothing wrong with a rectangular mat, of course. They’re useful and practical tools. And a circular mat would reveal its own limitations, in time: why am I not flowing through the whole room? Why am I not flinging open the windows and doors, and dancing through them?
A yoga mat is only one way we may unconsciously box in our journey of awakening by outside forms. The yoga poses themselves, when practiced rigidly or unconsciously, can become constraints on our freedom rather than means for unfolding. A meditation practice can become just one more way to try to establish ourselves as the supreme dictator over our inner world—and then beat ourselves up when we don’t succeed.
Here’s something to remember about yoga poses: people made them up.
Some of them were made up a long time ago—hundreds or even thousands of years. A lot of them—including many that we think of today as “classic” yoga poses—were invented by Indian yogis in the early part of the 20th century. Some were imported from places as diverse as YMCA exercise classes and Swedish gymnastics—and then given Sanskrit names. Some were invented as recently as last week. There is nothing inherently sacred about any of the postures that you’ll see arcing and twisting on yoga calendars. What makes them sacred is the way we inhabit them.
There are really only so many ways the human body can move, and people in different cultures and different eras have probed those limits. It seems likely that the earliest forms of asana practice were spontaneous eruptions of movement from deep meditative states, the trembling of psycho-spiritual energy through the body releasing into movement. Then hatha yogis began imitating and systematizing those spontaneous movements in order to access the states that had originally inspired them.
I don’t say this to denigrate the formal yoga asanas we commonly practice today, which are powerful tools for transformation that shape the body —and the psyche—over a lifetime of practice. They are an extraordinary expression of the possibilities of the human body, a fountain for inner energy, and vehicles for exploring our inner world.
But what we think of as a “pose” is just a moment of flow frozen in a snapshot. It’s no more or less significant than the moment that came right before it. Snapshots are evocative ways to perpetuate memories: You’re glad you have that photo of you and your best friend toasting your birthday in the cabin in Yosemite. But the photo doesn’t show what happened a few minutes later, when a black bear broke in and took the whole door off its hinges.
So in your practice this week, invite yourself to let go of any fixation on form, so you can really feel your body moving from the inside. Sensations are the language of the body. Listen to your own body’s story as if hearing a friend confide secrets she’s never shared before. Tune to the parts of your body that are crying out to be heard—and also to those areas that may have been numbed into silence.
Move from feeling—and allow your movements, in turn, to bring more feeling to areas that may be invisible to your awareness. Fully inhabit your body—opening locked rooms, exploring hidden crannies, flinging open the shutters in airless garrets.
Practice your yoga as a way of opening the boxes you have put yourself inside, not jamming yourself into more of them. What other shapes have you forced yourself into in your life? Where else might your perception of how freely you can move be constrained by other people’s conventions?
Along the way, you’ll uncover parts of your body that are stuck, injured, or vulnerable. Be with them with particular tenderness—not as obstacles to success, but as gifts to be unwrapped. Ask them how they want to be healed or released. By being with yourself in this way, you are expanding your capacity to attend your inner world with kindness and sensitivity —a capacity that will serve you well as you turn your attention to more and more subtle aspects of your experience.
Remember, it’s not just structures and alignment that you are feeling into. Yes, you are tuning in to your proprioception of bones and organs and muscles and skin, and their optimum relationship and function. But as you go deeper, such anatomical distinctions begin to dissolve. Your body emerges in your awareness as a shimmering field of sensations—arising and disappearing like bats swooping under a streetlamp. What you think of as hand breaks down into a pixellated field of dancing detail, just as an impressionist’s painting of a lake is composed of thousands of tiny dots of color.
Use the conventions of the yoga asanas as chisels to open your range of movement, build your strength, and awaken your body’s intelligence. But then move through them and beyond them. They are a trail map helping you navigate a majestic wilderness. But don’t confuse them with the silver river flowing between granite cliffs, or the red-tailed hawk soaring over them, clutching a fish in its talons.
Don’t just tramp down the well-traveled fire-roads of a familiar pose. Instead, meander down all the deer trails. Stop at a hidden beach for a picnic. Sit on the sand and listen to sea gulls call, and take a bite of an apple you pluck off an overhanging branch—sweet and crisp and tasting of rain and eternity.

Dear Friend,Yesterday, the day after President Obama signed his stimulus bill into law, the NY Post ran a cartoon depicting the bill's "author" as a dead monkey, covered in blood after being shot by police. You can see the image by clicking on the link below.In the face of intense criticism, the Post's editor is standing by the cartoon, claiming that it's not about Obama, has no racial undertones, and that it was simply referencing a recent incident when police shot a pet chimpanzee. But it's impossible to believe that any newspaper editor could be ignorant enough to not understand how this cartoon evokes a history of racist symbolism, or how frightening this image feels at a time when death threats against President Obama have been on the rise.Please join me and other ColorOfChange.org members in demanding that the Post apologize publicly and fire the editor who allowed this cartoon to go to print:http://www.colorofchange.org/nypost/?id=2822-580602The Post would have us believe that the cartoon is not about Obama. But on the page just before the cartoon appears, there's a big picture of Obama signing the stimulus bill. A reader paging through the Post would see Obama putting pen to paper, then turn the page to see this violent cartoon. The imagery is chilling.There is a clear history in our country of racist symbolism that depicts Black people as apes or monkeys, and it came up multiple times during the presidential campaign.We're also in a time of increased race-based violence. In the months following President Obama's election there has been a nationwide surge in hate crimes ranging from vandalism to assaults to arson on Black churches. There has been an unprecedented number of threats against President Obama since he was elected, with hate-based groups fantasizing about the killing of the president. Just a week ago, a man drove from Louisiana to the Capitol with a rifle, telling the police who stopped him that he had a "delivery" for the president.There is no excuse for the Post to have allowed this cartoon to be printed, and even less for Editor Col Allan's outright dismissal of legitimate concerns.But let's be clear who's behind the Post: Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch, the Post's owner, is the man behind FOX News Channel. FOX has continually attacked and denigrated Black people, politicians, institutions at every opportunity, and ColorOfChange has run several campaigns to make clear how FOX poisons public debate.I don't expect much from Murdoch. However, with enough public pressure, we can set the stage for advertisers and subscribers to think long and hard before patronizing outlets like the Post that refuse to be held accountable.You can help, by making clear that the Post's behavior is unacceptable, and by asking your friends and family to do the same. Please join me:http://www.colorofchange.org/nypost/?id=2822-580602Thanks. | 2019-04-24T04:03:43 | https://blacksciencefictionsociety.com/forum/topics/ny-posts-racist-cartoon-of |
Fluorite is considered to be one of most popular minerals in the world among gem and mineral collectors, second only to quartz. It is often referred to as ‘the most colorful mineral in the world’ owing to its variety of brilliant colors. Fluorite is said to absorb and neutralize negative vibrations. Fluorite is known as the “Genius Stone”. | 2019-04-23T14:16:17 | http://www.ny6designs.com/beads/Fluorite-2/ |
Lucius Licinius Lucullus, (born c. 117 bc—died 57/56), Roman general who fought Mithradates VI Eupator of Pontus from 74 to 66 bc.
He served in the Social War (91–87) under Lucius Cornelius Sulla. As quaestor in 88, he was the only one of Sulla’s officers to take part in his march on Rome. He was Sulla’s proquaestor in the East from 87 until his return to Italy and was indispensable in the success of Sulla’s campaign against Mithradates VI, king of Pontus. He was aedile in 79 and (by special dispensation) praetor in 78.
In 74, when Lucullus was consul, the Roman province of Bithynia was invaded by Mithradates VI. Lucullus was appointed governor of Cilicia and later of Asia and commanded Roman forces in the war against Mithradates. With five legions he drove his opponent from Cyzicus in the winter of 74–73 and defeated him at Cabira in 72. By 70 the war seemed to be over. Lucullus’s able financial administration alleviated the crisis caused by the war in the province of Asia by drawing up a plan that allowed the cities of Asia to pay off their debts to Roman businessmen at moderate rates. His evenhanded treatment of Asian debtors and Roman creditors earned him the hatred of the latter.
Mithradates then gained the alliance of his son-in-law, Tigranes, king of Armenia. Lucullus attacked Armenia, defeated Tigranes, and captured his capital, Tigranocerta, in 69. Three mutinies by Lucullus’s troops in 68–67, however, forced him to curtail operations. Mithradates recovered much of his lost territory, and Lucullus’s enemies carried legislation (Lex Manilia) requiring him to hand over his command to Gnaeus Pompey.
Lucullus was prevented from celebrating his triumph at Rome until 63. In 59 he opposed the political maneuvers of Caesar, Pompey, and Marcus Licinius Crassus (called by modern scholars the First Triumvirate). Afterward he retired to enjoy a life of great extravagance. The adjective Lucullan, meaning “luxurious,” derives from his name. | 2019-04-22T07:08:34 | https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lucius-Licinius-Lucullus |
The dragonfly is large predatory insect generally found around watery areas in both the North and South Hemispheres. The dragonfly is very similar to a damselfly but the wings on the adults are considerably different.
The dragonfly is found hovering near lakes and swamps as the dragonfly larvae (the nymph/baby) is aquatic. The dragonfly nymph is capable of producing a painful bite for humans, where the adult dragonfly poses no threat.
The dragonfly is best known for its beautiful colours and the way it's body and wings sparkle when the dragonfly is flying around the water.
Dragonflies have long, thin and generally colourful bodies, large eyes and two pairs of transparent wings. As with other species of insect, the dragonfly also has six legs but it is unable to walk on solid ground. In flight, the adult dragonfly can propel itself in six directions which are upward, downward, forward, back, and side to side.
Both the dragonfly and its larvae are carnivorous animals and they feed exclusively on other small animals. The main prey of the dragonfly are mosquitoes, flies, bees and other small invertebrates. The dragonfly larvae feed mainly on aquatic insects and their eggs.
The dragonfly is preyed upon by a number of predators around the world including birds, fish and reptiles such as lizards. The dragonfly is also commonly eaten by amphibians such as toads, frogs and large newts.
Female dragonflies lay their eggs in or near water, often on floating or emergent plants. The dragonfly eggs then hatch into nymphs. which is how most of the dragonfly's life is spent. The dragonfly nymphs live beneath the water's surface, using extendable jaws to catch other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles and fish.
The larval stage of large dragonflies may last as long as five years. In smaller species, this stage may last between two months and three years. When the larva is ready to metamorphose into an adult, it climbs up a reed or other emergent plant. Exposure to air causes the larva to begin breathing. The skin splits at a weak spot behind the head and the adult dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, pumps up its wings, and flies off to feed on midges and flies.

Happiness is a choice. Do you choose it or do you choose something else? There are 86,400 seconds in every day. While sometimes we can’t control what each of those seconds brings us, we can control how we respond to them. If we spill the milk during breakfast we get to choose how that will impact the rest of our day. Will you choose a good day or will you choose a bad day?
Marc Levy, in his book titled “If Only It Were True”, wrote that every day we receive a bank account. Our account resets to a balance of $86,400 each morning. We get to choose how we spend that money. We lose whatever amount we don’t spend wisely. The bank account is time and the currency is in seconds. The idea is that we should make the most out of the time that we have.
Would you ever throw away $86,340 because you lost $60 when you spilled the milk? Of course you wouldn’t. You would get back to spending the rest of your bank account as wisely as you could. So why do we allow that rude driver, that delayed us by ten seconds, to steal so many more seconds, minutes, or even hours of our day?
About two years ago I stopped telling my wife and kids to have a good day. Instead, I tell them to choose a good day. Have a good day has that “I hope your luck holds out and nothing bad happens to you so you can enjoy the day” sort of feeling to it. While choose a good day has that “You’re in control and I hope you choose happiness” sort of feeling to it. Choose a good day reminds my family that we have the power to choose.
This isn’t to say that I never have a bad day, I do. I cross paths with rude people and unexpected challenges almost every day. However, the choose a good day mindset is changing how I respond. Initially, it resulted in me realizing, days later, that I could have made a different choice. Gradually, days later became the same day. And now, I am recognizing my choice of reactions much closer to when those potential day spoilers happen. The more that this concept becomes a part of my default thought process the less time I spend having a bad day.
My choose a good day campaign has been successful. Some of my family members return the favor and tell me to choose a good day. As a result, I’ve decided to expand my campaign to friends and strangers. I’m going to drop have a good day (night/weekend/week/month/year/life) from my vocabulary. Instead, I’m going to tell people they have the choice. I’ll know that I’ve been successful when a perfect stranger tells me to choose a good day. Spread the word, we all have a choice. Choose wisely.
I hope you all choose a good day.

Nice read, Brian. I prefer not to put a ‘good’ label, honestly. Something more like ’embrace the day’ I feel is powerful for my kiddo. Good/great is a modifier that is different for all and, frankly, life just isn’t all good. If you embrace what happens good/bad/weird/up/down, you truly live life in all its form. Embracing life, however, is a choice as well.
Thanks! I like that. Embracing life and all that it brings is my goal as well. | 2019-04-24T04:26:41 | http://www.briangaller.com/why-i-dont-tell-my-wife-and-kids-to-have-a-good-day/ |
