Ava Mucikyan, the founder of the Salt Room LV, is a true embodiment of the American dream. She was born and raised in Armenia, a country where a hierarchy of men and women still stands strong. Throughout her career, she worked in many international non-profit organizations and helped empower women who did not think their opinion mattered. Ava’s passion for empowering women fueled her courage and leadership to move across the world as a graduate student in 2005 and obtain her second master’s degree in intercultural communications from the American University in Washington, D.C.
After moving to Las Vegas in 2007, she started her banking career where she received multiple awards and recognitions for her leadership and achievements. Ava left a high-paid career with a title of vice president in corporate America to follow her dream in 2014 and founded the Salt Room LV, which allowed her to continue staying true to her passion.
She quickly became a published author and a philanthropist. In 2018 Ava won the Rising Star of Women of Distinction Award for her leadership and contribution to the community. She has a dream that one day all women will unlock their full potential, live fearlessly and change the world. | 2019-04-25T02:34:39 | http://lvwomanmagazine.com/2019/2019-people-to-watch-ava-mucikyan/ |
“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
But what about what comes before…?
Christians in Asia who witness for Christ face fierce opposition from all levels of society: first, from their family or clan, as ancestor worship is prevalent in the region; second, from false religions that punish those who refuse to worship idols and spirits; and third from Communist and other tyrannical governments that are threatened by Christ, the true power Who exposes the lies that prop up their earthly rule.
If Christians live as God calls them too… what does any unbeliever have to fear…?
If those who oppress… oppose… persecute… and kill… knew what their God taught… would they still want to destroy them…? fear them…? feel threatened by them…?
The question which follows… Are they truly seeing His children…? live as He commands…?
If we lived such shocking lives of love… I wonder… What would happen…? | 2019-04-22T22:10:46 | https://jeremiahsmenu.blog/2018/10/31/shocking/ |
A chapter from David Carr’s new book, The Night of the Gun, will appear in this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. It is an exquisite and painful account of his drug abuse that manages to do something fascinating: Shed light on addiction in a new and important way. Instead of offering up yet another memoir that merely details Carr’s gut-wrenching journey, Carr reports out his own life. With a humbleness too few memoirs adopt (and a humbleness that is, of course, a crux of sobriety), Carr gets the inalterable fact that he himself is not a reliable source in his own autobiography. By tracking down old acquaintances and interviews with his own family, a more complete picture of Carr’s life--the addict’s life--is delineated. Too many addicts will never fully appreciate the toll their disease has taken on others, simply by not remembering. Carr takes the brave and excruciating steps of finding out.
And then there’s the unintentionally hilarious New Yorker rejection letter above. I think Jay McInerney was already on that beat.
Check out Carr's cool and unique website here. I'm pretty blown away by Carr; after endless junkie memoirs, Carr has managed to take what should by all rights be trite and make it visceral, compelling, moving, and, most important, new.
Update: New Yorker letter via Gawker. | 2019-04-22T00:10:30 | https://newrepublic.com/article/43013/junkie-lit |

Doctoral symposium provides an exciting environment for both beginning and mature PhD students. Beginning students have the opportunity to receive first-hand feedback on their research from experienced researchers as well as from their peers, enabling a critical review of their thesis work outside the safe environment of their research lab. At the same time, they will be required to read and critique the other participants’ work, since providing constructive feedback is almost as important for a researcher as receiving and acting on feedback.
The symposium also provides students who are about to finish their PhD or finished within the last two years a chance to showcase their work in front of the full IEEE CSMR-WCRE audience. Thus, they can not only disseminate their research results, but maybe also attract the attention of a research group looking for a new postdoc or of a department looking for a new faculty member! The submitted abstracts of this group of students will be published, and the best presentation (as voted by the audience) will be awarded the official IEEE CSMR-WCRE Best PhD Presentation (BPP) Award.
Finally, there will be a panel with senior experts in the field who will discuss any questions by the symposium participants about life as a PhD student and afterwards. This panel will be interactive, hence we need your input!
[on a 5th page, which will not be published] at least three questions and issues that the student would like to have discussed, as well as the stage of the PhD work (beginning/mature).
Please submit this abstract by October 28, 2013 on the Easychair site (select “Doctoral Symposium” track): https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=satcsmr18wcre21.
We expect participants to come prepared to the venue so that they get the most out of the symposium. We will provide more detailed instructions later on, but people will at least be expected to read the abstracts of the other participants.
Will all abstracts be published?
No, only the abstracts of (almost) finished students will be published. The projects of those early in their PhD work are often still taking shape and thus hard to pin down in an abstract. In fact, the goal of the symposium is to help shape the research through expert and peer feedback.
Are all symposium participants eligible for the BPP award?
No, only (almost) finished students, for the same reason as above.
Can all conference participants attend the talks of the beginning PhD students?
No, to stimulate deep, honest, but possibly confrontational feedback without embarrassing anyone, these talks will only be open to the other symposium participants and the invited experts.
Can all conference participants attend the talks of the (almost) finished PhD students?
For further details contact your doctoral symposium track chairs Bram Adams and Sibylle Schupp. | 2019-04-22T10:57:18 | http://ansymore.uantwerpen.be/csmr-wcre/submission/Doctoral-Symposium-Papers |

4hp motors and controllers for a kart?
In the last months, we built an electric kart from salvaged 500W (3/4HP) electric scooter parts (http://electrickart.blogspot.com). With 17AH batteries we can easily run full speed for about an hour and a half which is awesome and gives us a good range (currently 27kph top speed, which gives 35-40km on a charge!). Now we'd like to build a second version, one that can win from the gas guzzling kid karts (4HP) at our local karting club. Our current electric kart is not much slower than the kid karts although we have about 5 times less power, so we're confident we could outrun them with just a bit more electric power on our wheels. We're now wondering how much power we should put in the machine.
We're not convinced that we need to bring that much horsepower into our kart, and are now looking for alternatives in the 4-5HP range that may possibly also be easier on our wallet (Etek+AllTrax combo costs about $1000, which is not cheap).
Looking at electric scooters, we love the use of 3000W (4HP) engines in models that can run at least 60kph on a range that is beyond 40km. As our experience with bringing in scooter parts onto the kart was very positive, we're looking for motors and controllers in the 3000W range that could be used on a kart, but the parts should not necessarily originate from scooters.
Do you guys have any shopping recommendations for such motors and their controllers? Has anyone built a 4HP electric kart? What type of motor should we adopt? What kind of voltage, 24, 36 or 48? How much AH should be in our batteries? Where do I go to buy motors and controllers in Europe (Belgium)? | 2019-04-25T21:40:20 | https://visforvoltage.org/forum/7810-4hp-motors-and-controllers-kart |

The first World Cup was held in South Africa in line with the upcoming FIFA this coming June. Umthombo an NGO working with street children in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal is facilitating the event.
The opening kicked off with fireworks and has already displayed spectacular skills of the street children. Latest news came out it is somewhat miraculous. Philippines’ ‘Miracle Team’ beats the international soccer country Brazil with the score 0f 6-2. You heard it right, Philippines beat Brazil in soccer. The win encouraged the team so much. The RP team was led by coach Jess Landagan.
“It seems that Tinikling footwork beat Samba footwork,” noted RP women’s team skipper Marielle Benitez, when informed of the historic triumph Thursday night.

Welcome to the June 2013 issue of Tassie On My Mind, a free monthly newsletter keeping you informed of the latest news on what makes Tasmania such an attractive travel destination.
Tasmania is a hot destination for so many reasons. No less in winter.
There are special places you can only find in Tasmania and special tastes that come only from Tasmania. There's a natural wonder best viewed in Tasmania, and in winter too!
Did you know that you can take lighthouse tours in Tasmania?
I just heard about the search for a new operator to conduct tours of the Table Cape Lighthouse.
Located on the north-west coast of Tasmania, the lighthouse is 125 years old. At a height of 25 metres, it has views extending to Stanley and to Low Head, north of Launceston. Table Cape is the only lighthouse in Tasmania still operating and accessible to the public.
It was built in 1888, after several ships were damaged when they hit Table Cape on their way to Wynyard to collect produce. For the first 30 years of the operation of the lighthouse, keepers lived on site. This was no longer required after automation of the lighting system.
The Cape Bruny lighthouse is also open to the public but it is not a working lighthouse.
Then there is the Iron Pot lighthouse which has its own appeal too.
Do you like hiking, cycling or horse riding? You will need suitable trails for that.
A recently launched website provides information on 77 tracks in Hobart, Kingborough, Derwent Valley, Glenorchy, Clarence and Brighton.
You can find a walk based on distance, location, duration, whether it's suitable for wheelchairs, and so on.
"The trails cover a diverse range of environments from coastal beaches and bushland to hilltop vistas and rural scenes."
Interested? Then check out the Greater Hobart Trails website.
Tasmanian Jeff Thomas has just been named one of the best 12 teachers in Australia.
He created the Magone program at Glenorchy's Dominic College. The program helps children who are disengaged or at risk of becoming disengaged from education.
As part of the program, children take turns to prepare meals between classes, go on a daily run and even build furniture for the centre. Educational, social and emotional issues are addressed.
"Our society is very good at writing people off instead of saying let's see what they are good at. If they're keen to do well, let them do well."
Our school systems certainly seem to suit some children more than others. But everyone is gifted in some way I believe. It's good for teachers to look at ways of helping students find out more about what they have to offer.
Mr Thomas is now doing a doctorate on alternative education - I'm sure he'll have more to offer in this area too!
Where can you find the best sparkling wines in Australia? Why Tasmania of course, according to Gourmet Traveller.
Gourmet Traveller just released its Hot 100 list of "the most exciting food and drinks trends to the latest and greatest in travel" globally.
"Tassie is the hottest cool-climate centre of booze production in Australia right now. The best sparkling wines in the country come from here (Arras, Radenti); the artisan cider scene is rockin' (Red Sails, Willie Smith's); the whiskies get better and better each year (Lark, Sullivans Cove); and serious mainland wineries are investing big-time in Tassie vineyards (Brown Brothers, Shaw and Smith)."
"...significantly cooler than the mainland, with long summer daylight and maritime influences, which are ideal conditions for long, slow and consistent fruit development."
"Tasmania’s reputation for producing some of the nation’s best sparkling wines is increasing thanks to the pristine cool climate in which the grapes grow, which uncannily is not too dissimilar to the famous Champagne region in France."
Look no further than Tasmania for quality sparkling wines!
I'm referring to the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, sister to the perhaps more well know Northern Lights, visible in Scandinavia.
Tasmania is ideally situated on the globe for viewing this natural and magnificent phenomenon.
Some lucky people recently got to witness this amazing natural phenomenon in Hobart. For those of us who missed the live show, here are some great Aurora photos.
"Celebrate the dark through large-scale public art, food, music, light and noise."

New analysis shows 22 of Australia’s largest companies are actively working to undermine the Paris agreement targets, betting shareholders’ money on strategies that assume global climate change action fails.
Investor action group Market Forces says those companies – worth a combined $121bn and representing 7% of the ASX300 – are “out of line and out of time” and has called on shareholders to divest their holdings.
The group’s legal analyst, Will van de Pol, said it was the first time Market Forces had “named names” and called out companies whose business strategies relied on the world failing to meet the Paris targets to restrict the global temperature rise to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
“A handful of Australian companies are undermining efforts to limit global warming by pursuing new fossil fuel projects, or basing their business plans on energy projection scenarios that would doom the Paris agreement to failure,” the report says.
The list of “uninvestables” includes mainly resource and energy companies, but also diversified investment vehicles including WH Soul Pattinson and Seven Group Holdings.
The Market Forces study found that 199 ASX300 companies, representing 64% of total market capitalisation, faced heightened transitional climate risk but had not yet demonstrated business strategies consistent with the Paris agreement.
There were 143 companies with policies “not overtly inconsistent with Paris”, and just eight had aligned their strategy with the agreement.
Three companies – AGL, Origin and BHP – earned a reprieve from the list of the worst offenders, despite acting in a similar manner, because Market Forces said they had shown some progress towards aligning their goals with Paris.
In recent years, the boardroom has become an increasingly important front for climate activism.
This month, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, the largest in the world, announced it would divest from firms that explored for oil and gas. Last month, Glencore said it would no longer back new coalmines in response to investor calls for the company to act on climate change.
Pressure is also increasing on Australian companies, though many still refuse to even consider the financial risk posed to their businesses by climate change.
In September, a report from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said “the law requires” relevant companies to “include a discussion of climate risk” in their annual report.
In February, the Asic corporate governance council released new recommendations that directors and companies should make climate risk disclosures.
The Market Forces report singled out “coal cowboys” Whitehaven and New Hope, which it said had plans to establish new coalmines, or expand existing ones, based on forecasts that assume the failure of Paris.
Oil and gas companies Woodside, Santos and Oil Search had each “faced increased investor engagement over climate change in recent years, but this has done nothing to dissuade their plans to increase fossil fuel production”, the report said. | 2019-04-24T22:53:07 | https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/mar/25/out-of-line-top-australian-companies-accused-of-undermining-paris-deal |
The Team Extreme Ice Fishing Tournament trail came to Rock Creek Lake last Sunday. Partner Mark Anderson and I had decided to fish this a long time ago and the time was finally here. Both Mark and I spent quite a bit of time preparing for this event, either studying maps, GPS coordinates, or time on the ice. We both were pretty anxious to get this tournament going and see where we placed against some of the best ice anglers in the state.
We put together a game plan, knowing that some of our fishing areas would probably be a secret and not fished by competitors. Our plan worked great. We started fishing in deeper water near some brush. The limit for each team for this event was 8 bluegills and 8 crappies. We had this filled in about 25 minutes. The size of those fish weren't huge, but it is always a relief to get the limit covered. We kept fishing hard all day long, which was made easy, as the Vexilar FLX-28's were lit up all day long. We hopped around the lake and hit 6 different areas. Some we hit a second time. We were catching fish at each area, but we honed in on a couple main areas that were in deeper water.
We had discussed before the event that the bluegills are more scarce in the lake and would be the key to victory. This was very evident come weigh-in time. Almost every team had the double limit of panfish, which surprised me a little bit. However, team after team weighed in and the gills were definitely on the small side. We had some nice 8+ inch gills which outweighed our crappies. We ended up with 6.93# for our 16 panfish, we ended up 2nd place. First place had 7.14# which was anchored by a 1.30# crappie. A huge crappie for this lake, and congrats to them for catching it. It was a great tournament, and our plan came together wonderfully, and another great placing for Mark and I.
As always, we were using VEXILAR electronics to find and catch fish throughout the winter.
The Team Extreme Ice Fishing tournament circuit is coming to Rock Creek Lake next weekend. My usual ice fishing partner and I will be signed up to fish. I used Saturday as a day of preparation for the event, as other trips this winter too. The more I fish this lake, the more I wonder about the size of the gills and crappies. This tournament should be a great report card for this lake, as some of the best anglers in the state will be on the ice to test their skills. There are plenty of crappies and bluegills to go around in the lake, finding and then catching the nicer ones are always the key to tournament success.
Without trying to spoil too many places at Rock Creek I went on two adventures Sunday. I went to two lakes that I have never ice fished before. A friend lured me Red Rock where the crappie bite has been awesome. I couldn't turn it down. Caught a few there, but packed up early as the bite was almost non-existent. It did turn on later that afternoon...bad luck on my part I guess. That decision to leave and try another lake proved to be a good one though. I headed to Otter Creek Lake. A big thanks to Nick LaVelle for pointing me in the right direction, as I found a few fish, largemouth bass, gills, crappies, and yellow bass.
You never know what will happen when you go to a different lake, but yesterday was a great time, and I have a feeling I will be going to these more often when the water freezes.
I love fishing, and I love competition, so when an ice fishing tournament rolls around and it is close by, I just can't stay away. This past Sunday Team Extreme Ice Fishing, an organization out of Minnesota was hosting a tournament at Big Creek Lake near Des Moines. Mark Anderson and I have fished this lake the last three years in different tournaments, so it seemed natural that we would fish this particular event. Mark spent a few days on the ice scouting it out and I spent a long day there myself searching for crappies and bluegills. The lake is a big one, a deep one, and a clear one, which is also loaded with brush and rocks. Mark and I had a good game plan going into the tournament day, we had some deeper locations near the old channel, and we had some shallow and deeper brush piles too. Tournament rules are that each team can weigh in 8 crappies and 8 bluegills. No other species counted.
While Mark and I only fish a few times a year, it seems like we fish every day together. We didn't really talk about the "teamwork" for the day, we just fell into our roles. Mark fired his Strikemaster up at each stop, and before the first hole was cut, I had the Vexilar FLX-28 down the hole checking for the structure we were looking for. A few quick words back and forth and we were both fishing in no time. It is always a pleasure fishing with Mark, I think he is one of a very few that might have as much drive on the ice to figure the fish out as I do.
Things started off very quickly for us, numerous bluegills and a few crappies found the bucket at our first stop. A good start to the day, which is important when the temperatures are hanging around the zero mark. We headed to our second spot, it was good during practice for bluegills, it didn't disappoint. We caught a few big ones here as well. Off to third area, one that we didn't catch fish on in practice, but it had all the right things for roaming crappies. We hooked up two of our largest crappies in this place, we were flying high! We continued to hit a few other areas and picked up a few fish here and there. We ended the day at our starting spot, and I was able to pick up one more nice crappie for the team.
We had 6 really nice crappies, all over 10inches, and then two of them were about 9 inches. Our 8 bluegills were all about the same, 8.5inches or so.
We felt pretty good going to the weigh-in, but thought we needed a few more bigger ones. It was true, we fell a little short. We had 9.65 pounds, while the winners had 10.5 pounds. We placed 4th out of the 13 teams competing, good enough for a nice check. If you like ice fishing, you should check out Team Extreme Ice Fishing, they have 3 more events in Iowa, 3-Mile lake, Rock Creek Lake, and Brushy Creek Lake. They are ran very well, and the competition is second to none.
nice picture of me while I patiently await a bite. | 2019-04-20T11:12:18 | http://fishingwithtoddreed.blogspot.com/2014/02/ |
For families with dreams of visiting the Pearl of Africa, taking children to this amazing is just incomparable. Watching these youngsters astonishingly up close with their first elephant encounters in the wilderness or even spotting prides of lions lying on a hot day under the acacia trees or even going water rafting along the world’s longest river, going gorilla trekking for those who are above 15 years creates everlasting memories in these youngsters’ mind and they will come to appreciate and cherish their childhood stages so much.
We at Prime Uganda Safaris have broadly dealt with such activities in Uganda, so we realize and understand the expectations of children of all ages when arranging a Uganda safari. We are well informed on where to go for real Uganda cultural tours, which engage the young ones and the national parks that truly welcome children. We guarantee that you will have the kind of encounters which will make your family life-changing and a memorable one.

After this step, the next phase was cleaning up – which was a total pain. I had a few bags in the office that I had to haul downstairs. Then I had to clean and shop vac the second floor. Then clean and shop vac the stairs. Then clean and shop vac the first floor hall. Then clean and shop vac the dining room. And then finally clean the stairs down to the basement.
While I was able to get to some of the demo in our stairwell, there’s a good amount of plaster and lathe that’s difficult to reach – and requires a scaffold. Luckily for us, Bob has such a thing (we’re so fortunate to be able to tap Bob’s awesome arsenal of tools/machines/gadgets).
Funny thing, I’d only ever heard of the event referred to as “Rhinebeck,” which is the name of the town. But I guess it’s officially the Sheep and Wool festival (awesome domain name).
I’m not sure where I first saw it. Probably some internet meme thing. But ever since then, I no longer think of them as coat hooks.
After an hour or so, Howard joined us and we hung out for another drink – catching up about our jobs and lives, and talking a bit about the old neighborhood. I passed a Target on my way down Division, which was very new to me. I heard that Happy Village might not be long for this world.
With all the street work and no-parking areas, it’s been critical for us to have the driveway available/open for Bob. And the thing with Bagster bags is that when you schedule a pickup day, they promise to remove it… within three days of that scheduled time.
Today was one of those days at work where I kept pushing to get something done, and ended up working through lunch. To top things off, I had a bit more to do after I got home, and kept on plugging away for a while afterwards.
Liz and I did a lot of errands in the AM, and got to doing some demo in the late afternoon. With the master bedroom closer to being completed, we want to also get the walls along the stairs cleared and cleaned up.
Lately, I’ve been really enjoying playing Battle of Polytopia. It’s got elements of Risk and Civilizaion in it, with a small tech tree that you gradually expand over time.
A lot of these feelings, I’ve discovered, are in my head. The sense of urgency. The feeling that I am sprinting towards some future thing. Maybe it’s more accurate to say: the feeling that I need to sprint towards some future thing. When I think that’s not the case. | 2019-04-20T18:32:36 | https://avoision.com/blog/page/13 |

Lydia Olson, age 86 of Osakis passed away on Thursday evening, March 21, 2019 at the Bethany on the Lakes in Alexandria, MN.
On April 17, 1932 a baby girl was born to Edwin and Estella (Bakken) Brendmoe at their home in Todd County, MN. They named her Lydia Mavis and she was their only daughter and grew up with her brother, Ernest. She attended Osakis High School and graduated with the Class of 1951. After high school, Lydia attended the beauty school in St. Cloud, MN. She became a hair stylist and worked at a shop she operated in Milaca, MN. On July 29, 1967 Lydia was united in marriage to Ole Olson at the Salem Lutheran Church in rural Osakis, MN. They made their home in Osakis and Lydia opened a beauty shop in Osakis. They had two children, a son and a daughter. Lydia attended both Salem and Elim Lutheran churches throughout her long life, and especially loved to help with the quilt projects for the missions with the ladies from Salem. She was a talented seamstress and known for her pleasant disposition and ready smile. She was an excellent baker who could make delicious sugar cookies and Norwegian treats like flatbread and lefse. She was a loving and doting mother and grandma who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Lydia is survived by her children, Dale Olson of Alexandria and Denise (Jason) Kleve of Osakis; 6 grandchildren, Samantha (Brendon) Scott, Emily Kleve, Ben, Owen, Reva and Isabel Olson; a brother, Ernest Brendmoe of Osakis. Preceding her in death are her parents and her husband, Ole Olson who died in 1999. | 2019-04-23T22:16:56 | https://www.theosakisreview.com/obituaries/4588970-lydia-m-olson |

SearchData "The Image of Fairfield" H FAIRFIELD W \ [MIRROR! Nonprofit Organization U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 32 Fairfield, Conn. Volume 7, No. 13jf Thursday, December 8, 1983 Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut 06430 Incorporated 1977 Bannow To Stay Open For Late Night Studying by David M. Rothbard The Bannow Science Center will be open for extended hours to give students an alternative place in which to study, according to Fran Keneally, F.U.S.A. Vice-President. Many students on campus had complained that the library was becoming a "social hall" and that it was no longer used merely for research but also for studying for tests and doing home-work. After several proposals offered by F.U.S.A. to the administration in which such ideas as opening the cafeteria for additional study space use were deemed not practical, Bannow became the compromise choice since the computer center which is located in the basement, is presently open until midnight.. "Bannow seems to be the likely alternative," asserted Keneally, "and it should be sufficient if the hours are expanded." Rooms 137,138 and 139 will remain open from 9:30 p.m. until mid-night for students to have another quiet place in which to study. Keneally stated that Mr. James Fitzpatrick, Campus Center Director, was most helpful in this matter and that the students will have this on a temporary basis. "In my opinion, it should be available much later than midnight, and there is talk of extending the hours until one a.m.," Keneally said. "Also, with the new Computer Science and Business Information Majors, the students will need more access to the computers and the building." In an additional note, Dr. Larry Miners, Pro-fessor of Economics and Chairman of the Under-graduate Curriculum Committee, approved the resolution that students be allowed to sit in on the UCC meetings and give input but would have no voting privileges. Dr. Robert Bard, Professor of Law at the UConn School of Law, addressed gathered students and faculty on the subject of ethics in academe. [Photo by John Pastorelle] Bard Discusses Academe Townhouses Near Approval by Kathryn King Fairfield's Town Plan and Zoning Commission held a public executive session on Novem-ber 29th to discuss the building of new townhouses on this campus. According to Dr. John Barone, Provost, the approval needed to begin construction has not yet been formally granted. First, the Commission will send notice of its approval, which Dr. Barone expects by this week. The approval with its conditions will be published in the newspapers and there will then be a two week waiting period for challenges to the approval. If there are no challenges, it will become official and building can begin. The Commission had some conditions, most of which were minor, but there was one that will affect students directly, according to the Provost. The Northeast gate will be opened in the daytime during the week for construction vehicles and students. There will be a barrier, though, on the North Road between Jogues lot and to Julie Hall so students will not be able to use this gate at night. "Students should be aware of the conditions," he said. This condi-tion was made in response to the neighbors' concern about traffic. With this condition in mind, building should begin soon, depending on the finalization of the approval. Dr. Barone said that," Hopefully, we'll have a hole in the ground before you leave from exams." Plans are being made for three new townhouse units, holding 24 houses at four students in each, so there will be ninety-six more people allowed to live at the town-houses next year. * The layout of the townhouses will be similar to the original ones with some minor changes such as the absence of a front porch because it was found they weren't being us-ed. If everything goes through with no problems these new units will be included in this year's lottery for the Fall of 1984. These units should take about nine months to construct with three months included for leeway so they should be ready in September. The Plan and Zoning Commission has been very busy this fall so the issue "got in as fast as you could expect" before the commission. "There was a quorum problem at one point," the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so the meeting was postponed to the 29th, according to Dr. Barone. by Christine Ryan For two days last week, Dr. Robert L. Bard, Professor of Law at the University of Connecticut School of Law, led a thought provoking symposium entitled "Ethics in Academe." With constant innovations in technology and education, new ethical problems are ap-pearing in every academic setting. During the informal colloquium, many of the cur-rent ethical considerations were discussed. Among the controversies that arose were the question of academic tenure, academic honesty, plagiarism, and indoctrination. Lisa H. Newton, Coordinator of the Applied Ethics Program of Fairfield, proposed various topics and Dr. Bard, members of the faculty, and students contributed their ideas. At one point, Dr. Bard asked the audience, "Would it be so terrible if everything published was anonymous?" The question at hand was on copying another person's writings and passing them off as original. The most extensive discussion was around the idea of indoctrination and Crea-tionism. It is still argued whether teaching Darwin's theory of evolution is indoctrina-tion or not It was concluded that teaching an idea is not indoctrination if it enhances the students' ability to appreciate new ideas. Dr. Bard, who is active in public service and author of many articles, is against the idea of copyrights for printed material "...unless you can establish that without them they would not be written," which is a different approach to writing. Dr. Newton was quite surprised at that statement, as were most of the members of the audience. The question of tenure was approached but no definite conclusions were reached. Especially interesting was the topic of Continued on page 2 Student Legislature Repeats Election by Kathryn King Election for Student Legislature repre-sentatives were re-run on the twenty-first of November.

The event was a record breaker, accumulating 512 pints, a Fair-field County first. The drive, co-chaired by Chuck Hacker, Lisa Larocque and Anna Pavlick, was run as a com-petition between the dorms on campus with prizes of Seller's special dinners and $50 gift cer- Father John J.

The Red Cross is using Fairfield University's technique to run a pilot-program for any future blood drives. "The whole thing went really well, we were very pleased with the student turn-out," said Hacker who is currently planning another blood drive to take place in February. "The importance of these blood drives cannot be understated" said Hacker who points to the fact that in Connecticut there are only two full-time blood donation centers, and the Red Cross relies totally on the contributions of independent bloodmobiles to keep the blood supply constant for the area. It should be noted that only Yale University and UConn top the Fairfield effort. Yale, however, runs its blood drive through the hospital where many non-students can contribute. Additional-ly, UConn has 22,000 students from which it can draw donors. February's bloodmobile is expected to top last month's efforts, but Hacker declined to comment on an exact number. The 512 pints donated by Fairfield University students, administration and staff, comes at a crucial time for the Fairfield area and the State of Connecticut. Unwarranted fears of contract-ing A.I.D.S. (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome) from donating blood have held donors back. It is not possible to get this disease by giving blood. tion were Jogues, who elected Rich Fahey, Leigh Anne Wassem, and James English. Regis voted for Bill Rowan, Christopher O'Rourke, Fran Reed, and Dave Lombardo. The Off Campus Boarders elected Lisa Johnson, Jay Power, Siobhan O'Connell, and Joe Graziano. The Commuters elected Mary-Ellen DeAngilis, Delia Smith, Alison Baxter, and David Robertson. In Campion there was a three way tie between Steve Callahan, Alicia Williams, and Maureen Sullivan. A run-off was held by the R.A.'s in the dorm. The results of that run-off were unknown at presstime. Others elected in that dorm were Michelle McCahill, and Eileen Corbliss, according to Lisa Johnson, secretary of Student Legislature. The election was held again because a rule was overlooked by the election com-mission. Last year, with the addition of the townhouses as a voting district, the elec-tion rules were updated. Students of every dorm used to vote for three representatives, according to Antone Siciliano, chairman of legislature election. The new rule states that students vote for as many representa-tives as there already are in that district in-stead of automatically voting for three. The number of representatives varies with the population of the district, according to Siciliano. In the original election students only voted for three representatives. Jay Power, Student Legislature president, lodged a pro-test after this mistake was noticed. A re-election was scheduled for those dis-tricts that did not elect enough people. "We had a better turnout this time," commented Antone Siciliano. | 2019-04-20T19:22:56 | http://digital.fairfield.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/mirror/id/2151 |

Contempt of Court can occur when someone fails to obey an existing Court Order. For a person to be in “Contempt of Court”, there must be: (1) a Court Order that clearly imposes an obligation, (2) an ability by that person to comply with the Court Order, and (3) a willful refusal by that person to obey the Court Order.
In a family law situation, there are times when one of the parties (either the former husband or the former wife) fails to comply with an Order issued by the family law court. When these circumstances occur, the other party may want to take some type of action which will make the uncomplying party obey the existing court Order. One of the options available for the party seeking compliance with the existing Order is the filing of a Motion for Contempt and Enforcement.
1. Existence of a Court Order that clearly defines an obligation that the other party must comply with. For example, if the Court Order states that the Father must pay the Mother $100 in child support on or before the 10th day of each month until the child reaches the age of 18, then the Father’s obligation to make monthly child support payments appears to be clearly defined.
2. Ability of the Obligated Party to Comply with the Court Ordered Requirement. This means that if the Court ordered the Father to make monthly child support payments to the Mother, then the Court must receive evidence shows that the Father has the financial ability to make those monthly payments.
3. Evidence which shows that the Obligated Party has willfully refused to comply with the existing Court Order. For example, if the Father sill has the income and/or assets which would enable him to make the monthly child support payments, then this requirement would be satisfied. On the other hand, if the Father is no longer employed and/or no longer has the assets necessary to pay child support; and can show the Court that he has diligently sought other employment or other options which can help pay the child support, but has been unsuccessfully, then this requirement may not be satisfied.
1. Incarceration. If the Court determines that the noncompliant party has intentionally refused to comply with the Court’s Order and has the ability to comply with the Order, then the Court has the authority to incarcerate the non-compliant party. The purpose of the incarceration is to put pressure on the non-compliant party and try to force them to comply with the Order. If the noncompliant party initiates action to comply with the Order, then the incarceration will end.
2. Fines. Another means for the Court to address the contempt issue is to Order the noncompliant party to pay a fine as a penalty for their noncompliance.
3. Other Sanctions. Depending on facts and circumstances regarding a Party’s noncompliance, the Court may order other sanctions. For example, if a Party is employed but refuses to pay child support, then the Court may order a wage garnishment.

Charlie Kidd has been gone for quite awhile now — may God rest his soul.
Charlie was from what Tom Brokaw called “The Greatest Generation.” Charlie was an infantryman throughout WWII, fighting through Africa into Italy and then onto the beaches of Normandy and onward to Berlin.
He was naturally curious about newcomers — rural folk usually are — and when he found out the family dog had killed the children’s cat because of stress over the family’s move to West Virginia, he went to town, planted himself in the main intersection, stopped each car as it approached until he found someone with a litter of kittens. He secured one for delivery, greatly consoling the children.
Charlie was not a wealthy man — he was a retired rural mail carrier. But he was a philanthropist of great merit, because his gifts to the community were enabled by frugal savings from a modest income. He gave his church a handicapped access ramp and asked Grandfather how to protect the church’s stained glass windows from BB gun holes inflicted by a neighborhood brat.
Grandfather told him Lexan plastic outer windows would do, so Charlie bought them and had them installed. In typical fashion, he asked the pastor to accompany him to the parking lot, pulled out a revolver and shot a piece of Lexan lying on the ground.
Just wanted to demonstrate Lexan’s utility, Charlie said, but Pastor knew Charlie was more interested in scaring the bejeebers out of him.
Ah, RD, Charlie sounds like my late uncle – who also was in Normandy.
My uncle quietly paid for a kitchen for the gun club, and got me a really nice hatchet and knife set to wear when I went backpacking – which is the kind of thing he did.
When we buried him, he still carried shrapnel in his left knee.
Soon, all of our WWII vets will be gone. They will be sorely missed by our society, IMO.
A later “Grandfather Says” article will tell the story of another, who never came home.
When Ma and I went across the pond to fulfill her dream of visiting Alderney, part of our Journey was visiting The Beaches. Naturally, Charlie was discussed! One of the American Tourists, Sydney, was one that stormed the beaches. Late June of 1990 was 50 years after this historic day. This trip was Sydney’s first return back. We were blessed to have a living History lesson not altered by truth twisted beyond recognition.
Hi daughter! I remember when you and Grandmother (your Mom) visited the English Channel Islands and Normandy.
I stayed home and tended my cattle.
I always enjoy these articles.
I enjoy them too, JB! It is an honor to have Dave’s writings here.
… And I’m in your debt, Len. Nothing ever would have been written, if it hadn’t been for your blog.
The children now have their Dad’s recollections written down, although one or more of them remembers one or more episodes with one or more differences.
Parents cannot be seen through the eyes of their children.
What a fantastic read! It brought a smile to my face because I knew a man like Mr. Kidd too.
Thanks for sharing his story Grandfather.
i always look forward to these articles. They bring me much joy. Way back in my youth, I was lucky enough to work with some WWII vets and they were the greatest generation.
I’m glad to hear that, David.
From time to time a WWII veteran appears on TV and I am always struck by their solid self-awareness. They know who they are and what they did and are not much affected by fashionable socioeconomic angst.
Recently I was able to attend a lecture by a 92 year old Marine who stormed the beaches at Iwo Jima. Don Graves is truly a remarkable gentleman who had us laughing one minute and near tears the next. He was a child of the Depression and imparted a few lessons on what is important in life, He really reinforced what my grandfather and other elders taught me years ago. Sadly, there were not many younger folks in attendance. Of all people, they could use a little history lesson that you won’t get on a mobile device.
When he asked us to sing “God Bless America” with him, we all stood and belted it out to the best of our ability. I walked out with a renewed sense of pride in those who served and fought for right.
Wouldn’t it be great if our high schools and colleges called assemblies in their auditoriums to hear Don Graves, as part of their history education?
There is not a day that passes without memories of Charlie coming to mind.
I showed up at the camp with a black eye. He asked what happened. He said I needed to go back and teach the kid a lesson. (The “kid” was 18, I was 13.) This taught me courage.
I crossed the street one time to avoid him as I was sauced. He mentioned this to my Dad. (RD) This taught me integrity.
I was a very troubled young man. Jobs were scarce in WV during the late 80s. RD suggested the ARMY, Charlie followed up later by telling me I needed to get training there that I could use in the “world.” This taught me how to optimize opportunity.
I returned home from Desert Storm. Charlie, out of the blue, told a story of a soldier’s decapitation from artillery fire. The round almost killed Charlie. This taught me to make the most out of life, that it’s short, and that I’m lucky I came home OK.
Upon retiring from the military Charlie recommended the VFW. He advised that I get my medical records to the service officer there. He also advised that I take the recommendations from said officer to the VA. I didn’t know it at the time but I have some serious health problems from the service. This taught me that pride goeth before the fall.
I will never forget Charlie Kidd. Thanks for introducing me to him. And for being a great Dad.
So true! I started late and kept going — but my four are sources of utter joy and pride. I wish I’d started earlier and had more!
And Erik is right: Thanks for being a great Dad.
BTW, Carolyn is an accomplished publisher , among her other gifts, and plans to publish a printed version of “Grandfather Says”, some day. | 2019-04-18T22:18:50 | https://lenpenzo.com/blog/id52369-grandfather-says-remembering-an-old-friend.html |
From the successes of Project Bamboo to the formation of an Office for Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities, myriad institutions, scholars and technologists have recently come together to develop standards for collaborating in digital spaces across the humanities. Indeed, this shared commitment across multiple disciplines has led many to describe Digital Humanities as a discipline in its own right, encompassing aspects of the library sciences, computer sciences and, of course, the humanities.
Notably underrepresented within the field are the standards and practices of visual design. As Johanna Drucker has observed, "many of the digital humanists I’ve encountered treat graphic design as a kind of accessorizing exercise, a dressing-up of information for public presentation after the real work of analysis has been put into the content model, data structure, or processing algorithm" (Drucker online). Drucker traces this attitude to the "long-standing tensions between images and text-based forms of knowledge production" within Western philosophy (Drucker) – a tension iterated in the concept of code and platform as mere containers for, rather than co-producers of, meaning. On a practical level, these boundaries are inscribed onto a division of labor between humanists – "scholars" who produce intellectual content but have few, if any, programming skills – and technologists who encode content without, it is presumed, participating in its production. Although most developers have some training in visual design, their skills are often subordinate to the scholar’s desired functionalities.
Through convention, the user "drags" and "drops" items in a list, or "expands" and "collapses" browsing facets to "traverse" metadata, conceptualizing haptic movement to construct a narrative around underlying data structure. ... More than simply organizing materials on a screen, then, visual design negotiates a constant exchange of meaning between the grammar of HCI and the database or markup language. These mediations -- what we are calling acts of translation -- both open and foreclose interpretive possibilities, influencing the way scholars and students relate to the materials they study.
We explore these acts of translation in three case studies: NINES, the CHNM's Object of History, and SFMOMA's ArtScope.
Some of the more interesting empirical evidence we came across during our research didn't make it into the paper . . . like the fact that much-lauded 2006 ACLS report Our Cultural Commonwealth didn't include any prominent programmers or designers on its commission or among its commission advisors; nor does it address technologists as one of its many audiences, although the report -- basically on the state of digitizing cultural heritage artifacts -- clearly relates to the concerns of those that design and produce digital technologies. Certainly an enormous amount of good and even amazing things have come out of that report; but the absence perhaps speaks to the systemic division of labor that is still, still present in most DH labs and projects.
In the same vein, there are an astonishing number of practically unnavigable DH projects. The Rossetti Archive comes to mind. Imagine I want to get to Rossetti's Ballads and Sonnets (1881). It takes me at least four (really, five) clicks and three long pages of text to get to the object itself, following the confusing path Books Exhibit --> Collections Intro --> Browse Collection --> Document --> IMAGES --> Transcript (see the top of the image below). Once I get to facsimiles I want, the images are simply lined down the center of the screen, difficult to browse.
These difficult-to-traverse page hierarchies hide all the juicy stuff -- the images -- while the archive's organizational structures are opaque and hard to traverse. For instance, alphabetic lists work pretty well in a library; not so much on the web.
The Rossetti Archive has been an amazing, inspiring project, one of the first I used and studied as a student of Digital Humanities. It goes without saying that Jerome McGann and the staff on the project are pioneers in the field -- hell, we might not have a field of DH without them. But it's worth taking a step back and considering it and all DH projects not as a scholar editing and compiling artifacts and metadata, but as a user trying to find them. It forms a very different picture.
From my experience in a DH lab, the typical workflow for most projects is: gather and analysis the data you want to present; figure out what you want to emphasize within that data set; lay out the functionalities the user can perform on that data; and, finally, design the interface. From a visual design perspective, this is all backwards -- first you figure out themes, your Big Picture, your story you want to tell with the visual interface; then you bring the actual data into the picture. Of course, this approach is very different from the scholarly research process in the humanities -- but then it has to be different. We're dealing with a different production medium.
None of the above has made it into my paper with Madeleine, but it's been bouncing around the back of my skull as we pass drafts back and forth. If a technologically competent scholar willing and able to use DH projects gets frustrated with the interface designs, how can we expect to entice others, especially non-scholars and those who couldn't otherwise access these materials?
* Madeleine has been a brilliant collaborator, contributing immensely to my own thinking on this and so many topics. If I say anything interesting about Digital Humanities in the next few weeks, she deserves co-authorship. Without her, I'd still be sputtering on about my little literary wheel machines, not knowing a thing about visual design. As in: whut, colors and shapes and pretty things make people do stuff online?
** We're obviously not the first to make this point. Johanna Drucker and Matthew Kirschenbaum have both talked about the importance of interface design in DH, and Lev Manovich was an early and important figure in the field. | 2019-04-23T05:17:19 | http://blog.whitneyannetrettien.com/2009/04/acts-of-translation-digital-humanities.html |

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) was founded in 1918 to standardize development of certain areas of manufacturing, safety, and engineering. It is composed of safety professionals, engineers, and experts from a variety of industries. In 1992, ANSI released Z359.1 Safety Requirements for Personal Fall Arrest Systems, Subsystems, and Components, which addressed fall arrest systems in non-construction occupations. Since its initial release, ANSI has twice reviewed and updated Z359.1, and in 2007 ANSI expanded its Fall Protection Code by releasing individual product standards to better address the different elements of fall protection systems in greater detail. ANSI standards reflect the most current performance and manufacturing guidelines for fall protection equipment, and bodies such as OSHA often refer to their standards when drafting subsequent regulatory legislation. Unlike with OSHA standards, manufacturer compliance with ANSI standards is voluntary, but is considered desirable given the additional technical guidance provided. As a world leader in fall protection safety, Guardian Fall Protection seeks to maintain 100% compliance with ANSI standards for all of its products, and follows the recommendations of the committee, including the new requirements found in Z359.18-2017 Safety Requirements for Anchorage Connectors for Active Fall Protection Systems. Until 2017, fall protection anchorage connector performance requirements were governed by the legally enforceable OSHA 1926 Subpart M, and voluntary ANSI Z359.1-2007 standards.
From a practical standpoint concerning anchorage connectors, these two standards are essentially identical. Both require anchorage connectors to withstand a static 5,000 lbs. load, while OSHA provides an alternative guideline of requiring the anchorage connector to withstand a 2:1 safety factor relative to the potential impact energy of a falling worker. Over time, ANSI recognized that the requirements found in Z359.1-2007, while still helping to improve worker safety, were “...overly simplistic...,” and went back to the testing lab to create a standard that, “…more closely represents actual use of the anchorage connectors.” The result is Z359.18-2017.
The release of Z359.18 coincides with the restructuring of Z359.1 away from a product standard (to an overview document, instead), and the introduction of individual standards for the component parts of fall protection products. As part of this shift away from Z359.1 as a product standard, the latest 2016 release of Z359.1 prohibits any product from being labeled as meeting Z359.1 after the effective date of the standard (originally 8/2017 but later amended to 2/2018). For any manufacturer to claim an anchorage connector is ANSI compliant, the anchorage connector must be tested against, and pass every applicable element of the new Z359.18-2017 standard; Z359.1 compliance is no longer permitted. Please note, however, that Z359.18 is not retroactively applicable. Any anchor currently bearing the Z359.1-2007 mark is still fully compliant and safe for use, including those already installed, or those that may be purchased, while Z359.18 testing is conducted.
According to the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), who, along with committee members representing various manufacturers (including Guardian), draft ANSI standards, Z359.18-2017, “…represents a significant step forward in the realm of anchorage connectors.” Instead of treating all anchors the same, it introduces three new “types” of anchors (A, T, and D) based on intended application or performance. It also introduces much more stringent compliance testing by establishing guidelines for dynamic strength testing (drop testing), residual strength testing (repeating a dynamic test on an anchor), and serviceability load testing (ensuring an anchor will not deform under normal working conditions). In addition to new strength performance standards, Z359.18 also introduces extensive corrosion tests to ensure the longevity of anchorage connectors when exposed to the elements. In all, the new Z359.18 standard is the most advanced and aggressive standard for anchorage connectors, and is designed to push the industry forward to help create the safest and most durable fall protection anchorage connectors available.
In response to the stringent new testing requirements, immediately following the release of Z359.18 Guardian Fall Protection made significant investments and upgrades to its testing facilities. This included installing a dedicated anchorage connector testing tower, certifying our testing lab to the ISO 17025:2017 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories standard, and validating testing procedures for the wide variety of substrate requirements demanded by Z359.18. This long-term investment not only reaffirms Guardian’s commitment to be a world leader in fall protection solutions, it will allow us to bring our current anchorage connectors into Z359.18 compliance faster, and also remarkably shorten the research and development time for new products.
Guardian Fall Protection is actively testing anchorage connectors to the new Z359.18 standard. Because of the more demanding performance standards required by Z359.18 as compared to Z359.1-2007 or OSHA 1926 Subpart M, Z359.18 compliance testing will take an appreciable amount of time to complete. In addition to testing, Z359.18 also requires manufacturers to assess all compatible substrates, fasteners, and installation orientations to provide the most accurate installation guidance possible. The goal is to ensure anchorage performance in the real world matches that found in the lab. It should be noted that all Z359.18 compliant anchorage connecters will still remain fully compliant with all OSHA regulations.
During the testing phase, until individual compliance is established, anchorage connectors manufactured after the effective date of Z359.18 are prohibited by ANSI from carrying the previous Z359.1 compliance mark, and may consequently only be marked as OSHA compliant. These anchorage connectors should be considered completely safe for use as directed by the instructions.
Guardian has already completed Z359.18 compliance testing for many anchorage connectors and will be releasing them into the market as quickly as possible. As future anchorage connectors achieve Z359.18 compliance, Guardian will announce any new compliance statements through our regular media channels, including our official Z359.18 compliance bulletin, here.

ANSI Z359.18-2017 is clearly a “next generation” standard and goes well beyond any existing performance standard for anchorage connectors. Compliance is intended to be challenging to push safety performance forward to meet the greater demands of the industry at large. By choosing to adhere to this more demanding Z359.18-2017 standard, Guardian maintains its ongoing dedication to providing the worker at height the most effective fall protection equipment available. | 2019-04-23T12:08:45 | https://www.guardianfall.com/news/57-technical-bulletins/397-ansi-18-white-paper |
We played a fun and simple math game using dots! The children were shown five green leaves, each one with holes cut through them from one to five. They were also shown five ladybugs, each one with dots on their backs ranging from one to five. The children had to match the correct number on the leaf with the correct ladybug in order to find out which lady bug ate a hole through which leaf.
We read Dog’s Colorful Day using a picture of Dog and colored spots to add every time he gets dirty in the story! The children had fun identifying each color and counting the spots that appeared throughout the story.
After reading Dog’s Colorful Day, we made our very own colorful dogs! Using Q-tips and watercolor paint, we took an ordinary dog and gave him spots of color.
You can use this same technique to add spotted color in any colorless picture. | 2019-04-26T06:56:24 | https://heightslibrary.org/dots-and-spots/ |

This is purest diet and most suitable for yoga practitioner. Satvik food contains fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, milk products, nuts and honey wholesome grains. Satvik food are fresh, whole natural, of good quality, neither over nor under cooked gives calm and alertness and at the same time a state of quiet energy. They are said to nourish consciousness. They add vitality to the total system by bringing a perfect harmonious balance of energy states in the food itself. They do not pull the energy from the body and they do not weigh it down. They provide a practice balance of nourishment and create no undue waste. This type of food increases the vitality and not sheer-bulk which supplies energy for meditative purposes. Diet can influence the mind and change the personality. So we must change our food habits towards a mind attached to it, a yoga sadhana can gain immensely in his journey towards mental control.
The type of food is very natured spicy, bitter, sour, pungent, dry and excessively and exit the passions, making mind restless and uncontrollable.
Food which is cooked a great deal to increase into taste appeal.
Which stimulates and activates the nervous system.
Which speeds up metabolism e.g. tea, coffee, tobacco, green chilies and pepper, high quality wines.
Rajasic food stimulates speed, sensual pleasure and physical activity.
Spiced and cooked food to perfection with lots of such sauces, it tempts one to eat more and leads the attention to the savor of the food and away from internal signals.
Such food items are real enemy of mind body equilibrium.
Such a diet no doubt creates in an individual brilliant energy and keeps all vigorous men restlessly striving to fulfill their uncontrolled passion and desires.
Diet containing insecticides, emulsifiers, artificial coloring and other chemicals.
The food which has been left their essence & which has been processed a great deal.
Energy & vitality are almost absent in such foods and hence he becomes sluggish and diseases of degeneration and accumulation of excessive matter are likely to occur like obesity, arthritis etc.
When food is spoiled its chemical structure breaks down and because of the acidity that results some nutrients are destroyed. Rather then being useful, they may break down into products which cannot be used by the body but must be excreted. In the mean time, they are under circulation and act as irritants to the nervous system as well as to other cells, tissues and organ. Eating Tamsic food makes one less alert.
Ayurveda believes that right food is the best medicine. As vital power of the food is the greatest curative power.
According to Ayurveda and yoga, food is responsible for the individual's physical, mental and spiritual development. Since food is the source of vitality, errors in diet will cause disorders. This is why we should be aware of the properties of the food we eat. | 2019-04-25T00:17:57 | https://www.ayurvedayogashram.com/diet.asp |
As we summarized in a recent Financial Services & Insolvency Communiqué, Saskatchewan has introduced Bill 151 (the Bill) which amends The Personal Property Security Act, 1993 (Saskatchewan) (the PPSA or the Act). Over the coming weeks our Saskatchewan Financial Services team will bring you a number of posts to inform you about the upcoming changes and how they may impact you.
how payments to a specific creditor are to be allocated where not already stipulated by the parties, such that obligations secured by a PMSI would be the last loans to which payments would be allocated.
We will discuss each of these amendments in more detail below.
Bill 151 introduces amendments to address cross-collateralization where a secured party provides purchase money inventory financing involving a series of transactions with the same debtor. This could arise in a floor plan financing of large whole goods inventory, where payments are generally tracked piece by piece, or it may be a supplier of smaller inventory, such as parts or retail inventory, where it's much more difficult to allocate payments to particular contracts or purchase orders.
One problem the amendments are meant to tackle is the extensive bookkeeping currently required by a secured inventory lender to keep track of which payments relate to which particular pieces of inventory and to track payments that discharge particular purchase money debt. Thus, this amendment is aimed at increasing efficiency and certainty in inventory financing relationships.
Under the amendments, there will be new sections 2(5) and 2(6) in the PPSA. Section 2(5) will provide that a PMSI in inventory will secure all obligations arising from related transactions creating a PMSI and it will extend to other inventory in which the secured party holds or held a security interest pursuant to a related transaction. Section 2(6) then defines related transactions as being where the possibility for both transactions is provided for in both transactions or an agreement between the parties entered into before the first transaction. A floor plan financing agreement should easily meet the test for creating a related transaction, but less formal arrangements could also meet the test, such as where an oral agreement exists that there will be financing pursuant to a series of purchase orders.
This should simplify accounting requirements greatly for inventory lenders, and perhaps even their borrowers, as it will be clear that so long as the related transactions test is met, it will not be necessary to track specific payments to specific inventory.
For other creditors who might be seeking an avenue to claim priority against an inventory lender, the amendments will make that more difficult. In the past there have been examples of non-PMSI creditors challenging the priority of inventory financiers on the basis that certain inventory had been paid for and thus was free of the PMSI priority. If the inventory lender can establish that the inventory was all supplied under related transactions, it will have PMSI status on all the inventory financed or supplied by it, irrespective of what payments it has received. The non-PMSI secured party may have nothing left to argue if the inventory lender has registered properly to attain PMSI status and meets the related transactions test.
It is common for debtors to consolidate their loans with their existing lender or to refinance through a new lender. Where such consolidation or refinancing involves PMSI security interests, the question arises as to whether the refinancing lender acquires the PMSI security interest in the collateral.
For some other provinces, this may be a new concept but it has been the law in Saskatchewan for nearly 20 years as a result of the court decision in Battlefords Credit Union Limited v. Ilnicki, 5 WWR 673 (Sask. C.A.) (Ilnicki). Ilnicki held (in the context of debtor protection legislation, as we will discuss below) that a lender who lends money to a debtor for the purpose of enabling that debtor to reduce or eliminate an existing security interest in the debtor's personal property has given value for the purpose of enabling the debtor to acquire rights in the property. When the financing pays out a loan secured by a PMSI, the new lender obtains a PMSI in the collateral.
Where the same lender refinances, the continuation of the PMSI status will be automatic. Where a new secured party is lending to pay out the debt owed to a prior PMSI lender, there are two methods where the PMSI status may continue: (a) the first lender may assign its security to the new lender, though that will not be common, or (b) the new rules will deem the assignment of the PMSI status to the refinancing secured party.
Note that where the new lender is relying on the deeming provision, it is crucial for that lender to register its security interest before the original lender discharges its registration. That is normal commercial practice, but still critically important.
Thus, Bill 151 is largely enshrining into the PPSA what has long been the law in Saskatchewan pursuant to Ilnicki. As is often the case where Saskatchewan leads the way in modernizing PPSA rules, we expect that other PPSA provinces will likely follow suit, to provide more certainty for lenders in debt consolidation or refinancing situations involving PMSIs.
We mentioned above that Ilnicki actually arose in the context of debtor protection legislation. Saskatchewan laws limit the ability of certain PMSI lenders to sue for deficiency where the proceeds of sale of the collateral are insufficient to retire the debt. As a result, there are times when it is not necessarily desirable for a lender to have PMSI status in Saskatchewan, at least if the lender has registered first or by serial number and would otherwise have priority.
Lenders familiar with Saskatchewan laws are likely aware of the debtor protection legislation in this Province. Both in the farm context, through section 46(2) of The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act (the SFSA), and the non-farm context, through section 18 of The Limitation of Civil Rights Act (Saskatchewan) (the LCRA), restrictions exist on a vendor's right to sue the debtor for the purchase price or the deficiency where the vendor holds a PMSI. Those provisions in the SFSA and the LCRA restrict the vendor's right to recover the unpaid purchase money on an article sold to the vendor's lien on the article and the vendor's right to repossess and sell only. Note that corporate debtors may waive the LCRA protections, but individual debtors cannot.
Notwithstanding Ilnicki, the "seize only" restrictions do not apply to all PMSI lenders. It is important to understand that these restrictions apply to vendors and not pure lenders where the lender has provided purchase money financing to a debtor to enable the debtor to purchase the collateral, though they will apply to lessors who have "financed" through what are commonly referred to as security leases. That distinction has been made in the past by Saskatchewan Courts and recently confirmed in Richardson International Limited v. Richardson International Limited, 2017 SKQB 332 (Wyllychuk). In Wyllychuk, the Court confirmed that where the lender is purely a lender and not a "vendor", the restrictions of section 46(2) of the SFSA do not apply to it even where the lender has PMSI status by virtue of having taken an assignment from a prior lender with PMSI status. In Wyllychuk, Rabobank had provided financing as a lender to the debtor concerning the farm equipment collateral that the debtor purchased from Richardson. Rabobank then assigned the loan and security to Richardson and what the Court was looking at was Richardson's status by virtue of the assignment of Rabobank's rights. The Court held that Rabobank was a lender and Richardson had acquired Rabobank's rights under the assignment as a lender and not a vendor and was, therefore, not limited by the SFSA to sue for deficiency.
While the amendments do not affect Wyllychuk, we have included this discussion to ensure that lenders doing business in Saskatchewan are aware of our debtor-protection rules and how they may apply. Lenders engaged in refinancing will want to structure their agreements so that they are not characterized as vendors, to ensure that their PMSI status will not restrict them from suing the debtor for the obligations or any deficiency on the obligations after enforcing the security. A lender who can be characterized as a vendor (which may include a lessor under a security lease) will be at greater risk of being precluded from pursuing a deficiency.
The third amendment relates to allocation of payments to a PMSI secured party. This applies only where the parties have not agreed in advance to how payments would be applied, or where the debtor has not specified how the payments will be applied. In those situations, the prior agreement or instructions will govern.
As discussed in the very informative report to the Canadian Conference on Personal Property Security Law on Proposals for Changes to the Personal Property Security Acts, which we have referred to in other posts on Bill 151, this proposed order of allocation varies from the U.S. approach, which would apply payments first to unsecured debt, second to PMSI debt and third to non-PMSI secured debt. In situations where the lender and debtor do not have a prior agreement for the allocation of payments, these amendments give lenders more certainty that payments received by the debtor will not jeopardize their PMSI status where non-PMSI obligations exist.
The PMSI amendments do not represent the most significant changes introduced by Bill 151, particularly in Saskatchewan where Ilnicki provided for PMSI status to flow through refinancings. Nonetheless, it will be important for secured parties to understand these new rules. In particular, secured parties engaged in refinancing debt of another PMSI lender will need to ensure that they register early to qualify under the deeming provision. The amendments simplifying accounting requirements for inventory financiers should represent a very welcome change for those lenders. | 2019-04-23T17:51:13 | http://www.mondaq.com/canada/x/781846/securitization+structured+finance/Amendments+to+PMSI+Rules+in+Saskatchewan |

The Drummond Family is thankful to be working for the Lord. We’ve been traveling the southeast sharing God’s love in word and song since April 1996, 20 amazing years. Many things have changed in those years but not the call of God, which is without repentance. Our vision is deep and stronger than ever before. We believe that God placed a calling upon our lives to carry the Gospel. Our goal is to reach as many as possible in the final days, to see the lost saved, hearts mended, broken homes restored, the sick healed, and to fulfill His calling on our lives-to share his message in song and word. No other music can touch and move the heart like the power of a gospel song.
We are a close-knit family based ministry. Pat Drummond is our manager, and is an Ordained Minister. He also sings, plays drums, and takes care of everything we need including keeping the bus running & getting us where we need to be, and generally does anything that needs to be done. After being involved in music since the age of 12, he have seen many things over the years, but one thing that has not changed is God’s great power and the love for his children is still the same. Pat has a vision to see the lost soul saved and broken hearts healed. Pat’s wife, Michelle “Chelle” Drummond, plays spilt keys carrying the bass part, writer, graphic designer, web master and road manager (to say the least). Chelle is a great prayer warrior and much of the success of the group can be directly attributed to her efforts both physically and spiritually. Chelle’s anointed songwriting continues to touch lives everywhere we go. One of the latest penned by her and Pat gives great hope with the song, Hope in the Valley. Their daughter, Meagan Pledger, is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and a graphic designer, designing most of the graphics for the ministry. Meagan’s songwriting continues to bless hearts and touch lives. Her vocals as a 27-year-old singer are touching youth each week as we travel. Our son, Bo Drummond, is a vocalist, lead & steel guitarist for the group. Bo has recently come back on board traveling with the family. He works in the studio as a producer, engineer, and musician for Studio D Productions. His love for music began at a very young age, and has travelled for many years carrying the gospel in song. Bo is also a songwriter and has just co-written the groups latest radio song with Cody Boyett titled “I Stand.” Ron French is the newest member of the group. Ron is a vocalist, songwriter, and musician. Ron has played many years on the road playing guitar and drums, and for the past few years, he’s enjoyed a great solo ministry as well. Ron’s heartfelt anointing will touch you as he plays and sings. We are pleased to welcome Ron to the DFM. Chastity Drummond handles product for the family, and is a great prayer warrior. You will also see our grandchildren, Lilly, Travis, and Luke doing many things as they work with the family.
When you hear The Drummond Family in concert you will hear some of the old classics that everyone knows and loves, new original material that ministers to the soul, and words from our hearts that we hope will change the lives of the listener. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty (II Corinthians 3:17). We strive to carry that spirit with us everywhere we go. Because of His love and mercy we have been able to see souls saved, addicts delivered, sick people healed, and burdened hearts lifted and encouraged. We love working for Jesus!
Pastors, promoters, and friends, we are currently booking dates for the 2016 and 2017 year. Let’s make plans to have the Drummond Family at your next event, We would love to be in service at your next event, campmeeting, revival, special service or sing ~ our hearts are to reach out to the lost and rejoice to see them come home! Contact us today!

Who is Entitled to a Court Assigned Attorney?
New York State Law requires assigned counsel in certain types of cases if an individual is financially unable to afford a private attorney. The right to assigned counsel is present in criminal and some civil matters. The individual counties determine the specifics of the right to assigned counsel.
Judiciary Law of New York, Article 2 § 35, states that an individual has the right to assigned counsel in some types of cases if he or she cannot afford one. The law provides for the assignment of counsel in criminal matters. Family Court cases also can be assigned counsel if the matter involves juvenile delinquency, family offenses (an order of protection), child abuse and neglect, termination or limitation of parental rights (including limitations to custody or visitation rights), and for the Respondent in a paternity case. In 2006, §35 of the Judiciary Law was amended to extend representation in those matters to the Supreme Court, which handles divorces. In addition, children have the right to assigned counsel (called Law Guardians or the Attorney for the Child).
Ontario County has set forth specific eligibility guidelines for the Assigned Counsel Program. Persons who are charged with a felony, misdemeanor, or the breach of other laws other than traffic infractions, for which a jail or prison sentence is possible are eligible for the Assigned Counsel Program. Counsel is also provided to eligible and indigent persons who have a right to assigned counsel under Sections 262 and 1120 of the Family Court Act, Section 407 of the Surrogates Courts Procedures Act, and Section 259i(3)(f)(v) of the Executive Law.
Traffic infractions and offenses without a jail or prison sentence, such as the possession of marijuana, are not eligible for assigned counsel. Any other case where a statutory entitlement to assigned counsel does not exist is not eligible for assigned counsel. Assigned counsel applies after a case is already pending in the courts, and will not help you to file a case in the courts.
Eligibility is determined by completing an Affirmation of Financial Status Form. The Court may permit the applicant to verbally provide answers to this form under oath. Financial status will be reviewed based on the County’s financial guidelines.The suggested maximum financial eligibility is 125% of the current official federal poverty income level. In 2009 this was $13,538.00 a year for a single person household.
If a minor is granted assigned counsel, a Parental Affirmation of Financial Status form is required to be submitted by custodial parents.
Each lawyer is paid for by the state, through their local counties. (See the NY Guide to Family Law). The County Legislature decides how the service will be provided in each County (Public Defender’s Office or Assigned Counsel system), and what financial guidelines will apply. Ontario County uses an Assigned Counsel System which can be contacted at (585) 396-2852. A Public Defender's office will start handling most criminal cases in 2010, but the Assigned Counsel Office will still handle Family Court and some criminal law cases.
Legal Assistance of the Finger Lakes is a civil legal services office which handles some civil cases for low income persons for free. Eligibility for those services is limited according to the office's resources and funding, and is not an "entitlement" program. | 2019-04-20T01:05:12 | https://www.ontariocountybar.org/legal-assistance.html |
GRAND RAPIDS — Following Friday’s Division 3 semifinal win over Ypsilanti Arbor Prep, Pewamo-Westphalia coach Steve Eklund talked passionately about winning the state championship for all the Pirate teams that couldn’t take the final step in the past.
Ten different times, P-W had played into the final week, falling in three quarterfinals, four semis and three championship games — most recently two years ago.
Saturday, the Pirates finally broke through with a 40-33 win over Flint Hamady at Calvin College.
The girls’ state crown comes just one week after the Pirate boys won a state championship with a last-second win over Iron Mountain.
Droste was a freshman on the P-W team that fell in the 2017 state final by two points to Detroit Edison.
Saturday’s title wasn’t handed to P-W, either. After the Pirates led, 20-14, at halftime, Hamady dialed up its defense in the third quarter. The Hawks got more physical and forced 12 P-W turnovers, including 10 in a row over a five-minute stretch which saw the Hawks pull to 29-24.
Following Hannah Spitzley’s 3-pointer with 3:00 remaining in the third, the Pirates didn’t score another field goal the rest of the way, though they did sink 8 of 12 free throws to prevent Hamady from leading at any point during the game.
And even though the 6-foot Spitzley — P-W’s tallest player — fouled out with four minutes remaining, the Hawks could only play up the height advantage into two more points, as Aryana Naylor posted up with 4.1 seconds left.
It was tough to watch from the bench for Spitzley, who only fouled out of one game before, back in her freshman year.
“This year, I’ve been getting into some bad foul trouble, but we’ll figure it out for next year,” said Spitzley, a Western Michigan commit.
Despite giving a few inches away height-wise, the Pirates were tough on the boards, outrebounding the Hawks 32-19 and limiting Hamady’s 6-2 Naylor to six points and 6-1 forward Treshondra Williams to seven.
Ellie Droste, a Grand Valley signee, had a game-high 18 points. Rachel Huhn had 10, and Spitzley added eight.
Even with the comeback, Hamady missed 14 shots in the low post during the second half. | 2019-04-22T09:57:52 | https://www.freep.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/03/23/mhsaa-basketball-pewamo-westphalia-wins-division-3-girls-title/3257279002/ |

Qt4 offers the GUI framework that will finally make it possible to implement a KDE Screen Reader for the blind or low-sighted. A key component that will be needed is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) module. This talk will present two existing TTS systems as possible solutions -- the KDE Text-to-Speech System (KTTS) and Speech Dispatcher.
KTTS is an existing KDE capability included in the kdeaccessibility module. Speech Dispatcher is a system developed by Brailcom.
The KTTS and Speech Dispatcher teams are currently working to merge their efforts together into a single solution. Depending upon the progress made towards that goal, this talk will either present them as a single solution for KDE, or as alternatives. In the latter case, pros and cons for each will be discussed.

The annual student enrollment period often proves to be a stressful time for everyone involved. For students and parents, enrollment can feel like an endless parade of forms, authorizations, verifications, and registrations. What many don’t realize is that this complex but vital process can be just as stressful for school administrators and those responsible for educational IT systems.
Typically, enrollment demands many hours of work by staff members and IT, along with the associated costs of those hours. Once families have provided schools with their student’s information, school administrators have to take steps to ensure that the data is securely stored. With so many steps in the process, student registration and re-enrollment can feel like a tedious time for many. We sat down with our very own CEO and Co-Founder, Jinal Jhaveri, to learn about how using an enrollment system that integrates with your SIS can help school systems save time, money, and alleviate stress.
SchoolMint: The integration of registration data into an SIS suggests having an ‘enrollment system’ in the first place. How important is that?
Jinal Jhaveri: For starters, automating a school system’s registration and re-enrollment process can save significant amounts of time and money. With an online and mobile registration platform, school systems can reallocate funds that were previously used on paper, printing, and mailing towards vital investments that have a more direct impact on student outcomes.
In addition to saving money and staff time, automation dramatically improves the accuracy of enrollment data. Administrative staff will no longer struggle to interpret registration documents which contain critical student information. Additionally, a good registration system automatically checks for returning and transferring students previously registered in the school district. When it comes time for re-enrollment, the system is already pre-populated with the student data like grade, school, emergency contact information, etc.
Fortunately, online registration systems have become very easy to use. Parents can quickly complete and submit school forms and upload documents whenever convenient, even on their mobile phones. And, now that school systems have all of their enrollment data in a digital format, staff can more easily conduct analyses and gain insights into their enrollment data, which enables better planning and decision making.
SM: What are the primary reasons why school systems care about the accuracy of student enrollment data?
JJ: The overall budget for each school is primarily defined by the number of students it successfully enrolls. On average, a budget in the neighborhood of $12,000 is allocated per student for public schools in the U.S. That means that system failures and reduction in enrollment can lead to the permanent loss of hundreds jobs, as well as millions of dollars in school funding.
The other reason that the integrity of enrollment data is so important is because this student data is private and requires extra security protection. Schools have a moral and legal responsibility to prove that all students are treated equally, regardless of information about the students, their parents or their guardians in regard to actual or perceived race, color, national origin, immigration or citizenship status, and other locally determined impermissible factors. Storing this data online means that it won’t get lost and administrators can access this information quickly and easily.
SM: Why is important to consider the integration of student registration data with an SIS when contemplating an enrollment system?
JJ: Once again, it’s about time, money, and data accuracy. By automatically syncing up enrollment data with a SIS, the margin of error in creating a comprehensive student record decreases.
Since the SIS is generally considered the final source of truth for teachers and administrators, direct integration between an enrollment system and a SIS not only enhances data accuracy, but streamlines school operations and reduces costs. Data errors that make it into the SIS can have big repercussions. Many stakeholders rely on the accuracy of SIS data and direct integration is many times more accurate than repeat data entry.
SM: What types of data are collected during the registration and re-enrollment process?
JJ: There are many essential types of identifying information that must be collected during student registration periods. Required information may vary, but can include guardian information, demographics, emergency contact information, media release forms, technology policies, etc. Schools also need to keep track of essential health data such as the results of student physical exams and the compliance with immunization schedules. This also extends to the results of optical and dental checkups.
Student ethnicity data must be collected as required by state and federal laws such as state assessments, special education evaluations and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reports. Beyond the registration period, there are many more examples of forms that must be completed and updated year-round. Athletic programs need authorizations and release forms. Students with learning and attention issues need their 504 Plan or IEP documents. Missing details or outdated information can pose a serious security risk and create legal exposure for the district.
With so many forms for parents and school administrators to exchange and collect, the likelihood of these documents getting lost increases. Using an online student enrollment system like SchoolMint can help simplify this process. Parents will no longer need to search around for missing documents. Instead, they’ll be able to access all school forms online on their mobile device and can complete them at their convenience. Parents can also upload important documents like proof of residence or immunization records in seconds through their mobile phone or computer. If parents need to update records at any time, they can also do so through the online enrollment system. This helps ensure that data is up to date!
SM: Are there ongoing benefits to the integration between an SIS and the school enrollment system?
JJ: A seamless SIS integration and registration system like SchoolMint prevents data entry errors and eliminates many hours of work and countless headaches. School administrators can count on securing clean data without duplicates. Critical fields like addresses transfer with flawless accuracy and data is available throughout the system in real time.
This means that IT can spend more time on improving the system rather than fixing errors. Administration can focus on providing higher quality education instead of dealing with problems arising from incomplete enrollments. Perhaps the most important advantage is that integration with your SIS opens up access to high level enrollment and demographics dashboards to authorized users. The reduction in stress alone will justify this new implementation.
SM: What questions should a school system ask when trying to optimize (or set up) a seamless integration between their enrollment system and their SIS?
JJ: There are three primary considerations that a school system should contemplate when either first setting up an integration or further optimizing the integration between their enrollment system and their SIS. First, it is important to note the type of integration, if any, that currently exists between their enrollment system and their SIS — API level, import and export process, FTP transfers, etc. This will help the school understand how much flexibility and control they have when moving data from the enrollment system into the SIS.
Secondly, to avoid duplicate student records, a school system should ensure that the integration can identify both exact and potential student record matches so that administrators can decide whether they need to create a new student record in the SIS or re-purpose an existing one. Third, it’s important for schools to have visibility into changes that have been made to the records and when they were made. This is critical for auditing purposes.
SM: With which SIS providers does SchoolMint integrate?
JJ: SchoolMint seamlessly integrates with leading SIS providers like PowerSchool, eSchoolPlus (SunGard), Chalkable, Skyward, Aeries, Aspen (Follett), Illuminate and others to ensure that data transfer is as simple as possible. We provide seamless integrations and easy data exports in order to enhance the quality and integrity of data and improve the efficiency of operations.

One of the pioneering new metal bands whose sound helped to define the genre for decades to come, Deftones have been a huge underground success and almost all of their albums has received critical acclaim. The band was formed in Sacramento, California in 1988 when the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Chino Moreno, lead guitar player Stephen Carpenter, drummer Abe Cunningham and the bass guitar player Dominic Garcia came together. The lineup for the band changed a lot over their initial years as the band struggled to keep hold of certain members due to their other commitments with different bands. Thankfully for fans, in the year 1990 the lineup stabilized and the band was able to regularly write and record new material.
Not one to shy away from exploring new styles within the metal genre, the band have sometimes been described as the “Radiohead of metal”, but whether you consider that to be more of a complement or insult would depend on how rigid your particularly taste in certain genres is.
In 1995 the band’s debut album was released. Recorded at Bad Animals Studio in Seattle, Washington, the album was entire written by the band and produced by Terry Date, who would then go on to produce the bands next three albums. Whilst their initial albums weren’t commercially successful, the band did develop a small following, particularly in underground metal circles amongst fans who like the more experimental side that Deftones heads towards.
Deftones’ biggest success came with their third studio album, “White Pony”, which was released in the year 2000. The album was so successful that it managed to debut at number 3 on the U.S. Billboard chart, having managed to sell a total of 178,000 copies. Part of the success of the album was added by Delgado, who brought new elements which the band were able to successfully integrate. Critics have pointed out that whist the tracks and sounds on the album vary greatly between tracks, the different styles come together successfully to create a great album for anyone interested in a diverse range of metal styles on one album.
Known for their sometimes aggressive style, Deftones enjoys huge success whenever they go on tour and have performed a number of sell out concerts at large venues around the world. Their fan base continues to grow and for this reason the band are still around touring and producing new material today. | 2019-04-21T22:11:55 | http://loudmetal.com/deftones/ |

On Dec 24 2007-Jan 1 2008, I attended an eight-day meditation program called Meditasi Mengenal Diri (MMD, loosely translated to Meditation to know oneself), facilitated by Hudoyo Hupudio in Mendut monastery, Central Java.
MMD aims to free oneself from attachment. The rules are simple. The only ‘task’ we have is to be aware. To be aware of all our thoughts and actions. The only thing requested from us is not to bother anybody else. Simple, but not easy.
My days were full of ups and downs, full of various ridiculous thoughts to physical sensations, such as sore back and itches. But I was determined to discipline myself and not to give in to the sensation, thoughts and boredom.
Time flew, relatively speaking. I started to enjoy the meditation sessions. This so called enjoyment in itself is a golden trap. Mr. Hupudio reminded me to be careful, “Be aware that you are enjoying the meditation, until the time you feel neutral about it.” How cunning our brain is.
In the last day, the head of the monastery joined us. He reminded us to always be aware of and to pay attention to every move, every second of our life, including the times when we feel bored or frustrated why we cannot meditate.
Our mind is used to searching, demanding, and getting. It is difficult for the mind to give and let go. Even when we think we do good deeds, the mind keep thinking “What do I get?” From getting recognition from other people, good karma, prosperity and peace, to heaven. The mind still demands something in return.
Or subtler still, we often think “I give so that I feel fulfilled.” There is still hopes. The mind is having difficulties in letting go.
Even when we meditate, we often hope for ‘progress’. So when we feel at peace, we are happy that we feel at peace. We feel we are progressing. There is still expectation.
The habit of searching, demanding and hoping are the result for ego. The mind constantly demands. This creates unease, restlessness and dissatisfaction.
To overcome this, we only need to pay attention, to be aware. The method is so simple. Each of us has the capability to attend to our mind and physical condition.
Our thoughts, desires and plans in the everyday life should be filtered. Is it a good thought? Will it hurt us, other people, or other being? Is it feasible or am I being too ambitious, pushing it too far, or wanting too much? All has its own portion. If it is good, then we need to be consistent, should be loyal in executing the plan.
Our everyday life is our meditation. So let this kind of attention be present, always. Attend to all our physical and mind movement, to the mind that keeps demanding all things to everybody, including to self, other people, and God.

About 15 people from all walks of life attended the training. Parents of autistic children, therapists, psychologists, and youth from Miss/Mr. Jakarta (I wonder if this is the correct translation of Abnon Jakarta). They came from Kalimantan, Solo and various places in Jakarta.
I can only say: Amazing people. People full of enthusiasm and commitment to share their understanding of autism and to help autistic children and their surrounding create a better future.
Thank you, Gayatri and DY, for allowing me to participate and for such a wonderful initiative. Thank you, MPATI pioneers, for your enthusiasm and patience.
Thank you, Mbak Lita of Maverick, for willing to help without any single hesitation. I cannot imagine doing this without your help.
I want to share the presentation of the training here. Unfortunately, it is still in Indonesian. Let me know if you are really interested and want to have the English version.

Thank you for, literally, everything.
I can dedicate my life to you as a payback, but it would still be nothing compared with all the things you have done for us.
How about a song for today? I think this one fits well.
I will never forget. Promise.

You control the blue cell in the middle of the screen - and you need it to grow! Click next to it to emit mass and move into the opposite direction. By absorbing other cells you grow. Every level has it's own objective, just follow the instructions.
When you lost too much mass, you cannot move. Click [back to menu] to retry a level.
This is my first game jam and it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much in advance for testing out my game! Thank you also to the creators of the game Osmos HD which obviously heavily inspired this game.
Interesting game. The difficulty is a bit high early on, and it seems like you have to move perfectly to clear a stage.
Feels like a mix between Osmos and Asteroids, fun. But like gkxd said, there's a difficulty spike very early on that makes it very hard to progress.
Pretty interesting game, though quite hard, especially with the purple cells.
Once I get to lvl 5, I cant control the cell.
Maybe you lost too much mass? When you are at the minimum, you cannot emit more mass so you have to hope to absorb some by chance or retry the level.
@ORECROS Yeah, it's always nice to see how coders play games. :-) At least in level 10 this wont help you.
Nice job. I like you add new elements in each level.
Good game. Smooth room wrapping and good game mechanics too. Good job.
This is a kind of game I can spend to much time with, good job!
Yes definitely an Osmosis-like game and pretty good one at that. I did feel like the amount of mass you lose for propelling yourself could be a bit less. There were several times where I would push myself in a direction and just have to float around for a while until I just happened to bump into a green. It did make the propulsion decisions quite a bit more meaningful though and it was relaxing. Nicely done.
Nice game, the twist in level 5 is funny!
Great game with a nice concept! congratulations!
I like these kind of games (that's why I made a similar one). My tactic was to get to a minimal level and taking out the purple cells at that size. But that didn't work in level 10 :).
Nice little game. It was a bit kind and/or evil at times right at the start because you could have an enemy or food come up you within the first second of play. So having a safe area around player spawn would probably be recommended. If one opted to warp around the playing field, it felt like one was out of sight rather long (especially if using the corner where the HUD was placed). Other than that, relaxing little arcade game.
I had a bit of a problem controlling this game but i like where you were going with it. The music could loop a bit better. Good Job!
It's too hard to catch everything and takes too long. If I had more mass, I'd have more options to change direction. Still I liked the game a lot, with a bit more balancing this is nice!
Fun game. Did not expect the controls swap half-way through!
Enjoyed the variation in levels, though I had difficulty on the final level as it seemed touching reds while carrying any mass at all was a death sentence for that attempt. Also noticed that some ejected mass seemed to disappear soon after using it, though I'm not sure if that was just me. | 2019-04-23T23:55:39 | http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=28618 |
committed to preserving its small-town charm, and thanks to the sustained efforts of concerned residents, its dark night skies. In recognition of Sedona’s efforts protecting this important natural resource, the International Dark-Sky Association has designated the city of Sedona the world’s eighth International Dark Sky Community.
“We are pleased to honor the dedication and hard work of the many Sedona citizens committed to protecting the nighttime environment,” said Acting IDA Executive Director Scott Kardel.
The events culminating in today’s announcement began more than 40 years ago. Sedona residents founded Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB) in 1972 to address rapid growth and a lack of regional long-term planning. Over time, KSB members began to consider light pollution as pressing an environmental issue as air and water quality and the protection of the Red Rocks. Fifteen years ago, city staff began working with KSB, the business community, and local citizens to identify problem outdoor lighting installations and to incorporate solutions into a revised code.
ordinance became law in 2001.
As part of the process of becoming a Dark Sky Community, the City of Sedona appropriated funds to bring City Hall into full compliance with the code and to provide resources for lighting retrofit projects such as that carried out at Posse Grounds Park. In 2012-13 the city’s Outdoor Lighting Small Grant Program provided 50 percent matching funds per project of up to an aggregate program total of $10,000 per project to encourage business and commercial property owners to voluntarily bring their grandfathered outdoor light fixtures into compliance with the ordinance. Earlier this year Sedona approved further protections that expanded the use of adaptive controls and light curfews for city-owned lighting.
innovative community outreach. Since the program began, eight Communities, 17 Parks and eight Reserves have received International Dark Sky designations. | 2019-04-23T00:51:03 | https://www.darksky.org/ida-designates-sedona-arizona-the-worlds-eighth-international-dark-sky-community/ |

Often those who embark on a natural weight loss diet program jump on the scale after a week of following their routine, believing that a decline in weight is going to prove just how potent their eating strategy truly is. A few days after beginning a new plan, the scale might even indicate a significant improvement, which seems to confirm that the new plan is burning fat quickly. Yet, few realize that the opposite may actually be true!
Let’s take as an example a low carbohydrate diet strategy, which has become common in recent years, and is what many opt for when seeking to burn fat fast. Often in only a few days, several pounds of scale weight can be shed, which is a tremendously exciting indication of a positive improvement, that is, if the weight was actually body fat. Unfortunately, because carbohydrates store water in muscle cells, anytime the body experiences a decline in the carbohydrates consumed through dietary sources (fruit, rice, etc), stored carbohydrates are released into the bloodstream, which reduces water weight dramatically. Therefore, the significant weight reduction that often occurs quickly after beginning a low carbohydrate diet plan is actually all water, and not body fat. Since the goal of any weight loss strategy is to burn fat from problem areas, this does not sound like good news.
What’s worse is that continued adherence to such a diet plan often burns away significant amounts of muscle, which weighs even more than fat (due to its density), so stepping on a scale and seemingly seeing continued progress is anything but when examining the composition of the weight that has been shed. In addition, lost muscle slows metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories), making body fat reduction slower and more difficult.
So, what’s the alternative to using a scale? The barometer of how potent a natural weight loss diet program is rests upon its fat burning potential, therefore it’s important to isolate areas that accumulate fat the easiest (such as the stomach) with a measuring tape and caliper to determine if the circumference of that body part and the actual fat that exists between the skin and muscle tissue is declining. This measurement combination is far more reliable than body weight in determining whether or not fat is being shed, and is an important consideration to make before you decide to step on the scale and see how productive your fitness week has been! | 2019-04-19T11:38:55 | https://fatvanish.com/the-difference-between-losing-weight-and-burning-fat/ |
Plants have been profoundly queer players in the modern project of describing "life" for ethical and political consideration. From their taxonomic destabilizations of colonial order in the eighteenth century to their current questionings concerning agency in recent posthumanist discourses, plants demand that we think about living, being, and becoming in ways that interrupt anthropocentric and heteronormative figurings of ethics, agency, futurity, and life in general. In this presentation, Catriona Sandilands, an internationally recognized scholar in both queer ecologies and plant studies, will speak about "botanical queerness" with an eye to thinking through the complexity of humans' relations to plants beyond habitual environmentalist modes of address. Plants are not simply objects of human concern; they offer up modes of being. becoming, living, and futurity that have been overlooked in many more animal-centric accounts, and that may serve as the basis of a more critical, queer, and ecological understanding of life in relation to power. | 2019-04-23T12:40:57 | http://heymancenter.org/events/botanically-queer/ |

Travesties is a 1974 play by Tom Stoppard. The plays setting is primarily Zürich, Switzerland during the First World War, three important personalities were living in Zürich at that time, the modernist author James Joyce, the communist revolutionary Lenin, and the founder of Dada, Tristan Tzara. As he reminisces Carrs memory becomes prone to distraction, and instead of historical biography these characters are interpreted through the maze of his mind. Carrs memories are couched in a Zürich production of Oscar Wildes play The Importance of Being Earnest in which he had a starring role, Stoppard uses this production and Carrs mixed feelings surrounding it as a framework to explore art, the war and revolution. Situations from Earnest feature prominently within the action, the characters in Travesties include versions of two characters from Earnest and Cecily, and the comedic situations of many of the other roles are shared by other characters. Stoppard uses many theatrical devices within the play, including puns, the real Carr did play Algernon with a group of actors called The English Players, for whom the real James Joyce was the business manager.
Carr and Joyce had a disagreement after the play, which led to legal action. The dispute was settled with the judge deciding in favour of both disputants on different counts, Joyce parodied Carr, and the English Consul General in Zürich at that time, A. Percy Bennett, as two characters in Ulysses, with Carr being portrayed as a drunken, obscene soldier in the Circe episode. After the first performance of Travesties Stoppard received a letter from Henry Carrs widow, Travesties was first produced at the Aldwych Theatre, London, on 10 June 1974, by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The production was directed by Peter Wood and designed by Carl Toms and it closed on 13 March 1976 after 156 performances at the Aldwych, the Albery Theatres in London and the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City. Reichel in 1978 with Martin Benrath, Nikolaus Paryla, and de, the production was transferred to the Savoy Theatre in March 1994 and ran there until June 1994. A reading was given at the British Library in February 2008, the production broke box office records at the Menier Chocolate Factory, becoming the first play in the company’s history to sell out ahead of its first preview.
The Misanthrope, or the Cantankerous Lover is a 17th-century comedy of manners in verse written by Molière. It was first performed on 4 June 1666 at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, the play satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society, but it engages a more serious tone when pointing out the flaws which all humans possess. It differs from most of Molières other works by focusing more on character development, the play, though not a commercial success in its time, survives as Molières best known work today. Molière has received criticism for The Misanthrope. The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, claimed in his Letter to M. DAlembert on Spectacles that it was Molières best work and he believed that the audience should be supporting Alceste and his views about society rather than disregarding his idealistic notions and belittling him as a character. Alceste The protagonist and misanthrope of the title and he is quick to criticize the flaws of everyone around him, including himself.
He cannot help but love Célimène though he loathes her behaviour, Célimène A young woman who is courted by Alceste, Oronte and Clitandre. She is playful and flirtatious, and likes to point out the flaws of everyone she meets behind their backs, Célimène pays much attention to social appearances. Philinte A polite man who cares for Alceste, and recognizes the importance of occasionally veiling ones true opinions in a social context. He is mainly thought of as Alcestes foil, Acaste A young, pompous marquis who believes he is deserving of Célimènes love. Oronte An outgoing, seemingly confident man who loves Célimène for a time and his insecurity is revealed when he is unable to handle Alcestes criticism of his love sonnet. Arsinoé A highly moralistic older woman who is jealous of the attentions which Alceste pours onto Célimène, Éliante Love interest to Philinte and cousin to Célimène, who initially pines for Alceste. She possesses a good balance between societal conformity and individual expression, Clitandre Another marquis who attempts to woo Célimène and win her love, and enjoys gossiping with her about notable social figures.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as a brand of the International Harvester Corporation in America, and now as a line with MTD Products. The division was sold off in 1981 when International Harvester became bankrupt and was broken up.
During the 1960s IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners of increasingly popular rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, ploughs, trailers, etc.
Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981 following the break up of IH after they became bankrupt and were restructured. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTD for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment (MTD, YardMachines, YardMan, White Outdoor, Bolens, and Troy-Bilt).
In 2007, Cub Cadet (MTD Products) and Yanmar of Japan entered into a partnership to manufacture and market compact and utility tractors in the USA. They would be sold under the Cub Cadet Yanmar brand name through existing Cub Cadet dealers. The partnership was revised in 2011 with Yanmar taking full control, and the Cub Cadet name being dropped.
David Kalb, a warehouse worker from La Habra, California, was the winner of the 2008 Cub Cadet trick shot challenge. Kalb won the chance to play Lebron James, a four-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, at a game of H-O-R-S-E in Venice Beach, California in an online contest. Kalb won the first game but the two decided to go best 2 out of 3 whereupon Kalb won also.
The Cub Cadet brand is also used on utility vehicles for use by estate managers, farmers and park services for moving personnel, tools and light loads. - Cub Cadet ATV. The ATVs are built by HiSun in China, and assembled by Cub Cadet in the USA.
Electric lawn mowers are also branded as Cub Cadet.
A few of these can be seen in the Garden machinery classes at tractor and vintage shows.
A few have also been converted for junior classes of the "Sport" of Tractor Pulling.

By taking what you know about security in the physical world and logically applying it to the virtual world, you can effectively protect your personal information.
You can slow down a hacker, but it will do you good to accept that you may never be able to truly stop someone from getting through your first line of defense.
If the rest of the community would give hackers more of a chance before writing them off as evildoers, there would potentially be more incentives for capable people to go into the white hat hacking business.
Protecting this data is a necessity as more and more consumers are voluntarily offering up their rights to security or privacy in search for convenience.
Almost every industry can improve efficiencies with blockchain. But what will make blockchain a success is ultimately security.
One of the crucial benefits of blockchain is its distributed capabilities, which mean there isn’t one centralized target to hack.
How to Overcome Cyber "Insecurities"
Whether they come from a technical, business or even military background, all CISOs experience a number of personal and professional roadblocks on a daily basis that challenge the ultimate success of their company’s security.
If the WannaCry incident taught us anything, it’s that global, widespread ransomware can and will impact organizations without any notice. The time to prepare is now.
By removing the allure of hacking, we can hopefully incentivize cybercriminals to instead use their skills in a positive way, to benefit not only themselves but also the greater good.
While automation delivers many benefits to the enterprise, there are dangers to mindlessly automating every business function, especially when it comes to security.
If CISOs took a page from physicians and worked together to share missteps and move forward, they could gain crucial security learnings and prevent the spread of attacks.
Every year, countless security vendors roam the show floor at RSA, promising that their latest revolutionary tool is going to solve the entire world’s security problems.
Focusing on securing an endless amount of endpoints is almost impossible to do effectively. You can’t rely on the devices to be secure and you can’t rely on the consumers to secure their devices themselves.
The interests of the researchers should be to make the world more secure, not profit from a corporation’s vulnerabilities.
Listen to your coach. Similar to the Olympics, a CSO or CISO needs to be able to lead their team and consider the impact they will have on the broader organization.
Containerized Security: The Next Evolution of Virtualization?
While using containers to secure your organization is a relatively novel approach, it can lead to cost savings and massive scalability.
It is critical for business leadership to address the growing threat of ransomware as a business risk rather than a siloed IT issue.
While it’s important to have multiple layers of defense, more emphasis needs to be placed on how companies integrate, update and manage their security. | 2019-04-25T14:24:04 | https://www.securityweek.com/authors/jennifer-blatnik?quicktabs_1=0 |
Chios mastic (Mastiha), known from the ancient times for its beneficial and therapeutic properties is the aromatic resin from the trunk and the branches of the mastic tree (Pistachia Lentiscus var. Chia), which is a bush that can only be found in Southern Chios. The mastic appears like a tear from the carved parts of the tree and flows in drops to the ground.
local tradition demands that the Chios mastic liqueur Psychis should be served with dessert, after each meal or with coffee. Today, the mastic liqueur Psychis is an excellent choice for consumption as a shot, always frozen, or even as an aperitif served in a wine glass with crushed ice!
Ouzo of Chios Psychis, “rempiko.” It took its name form the traditional copper distillery, as it is called in the dialect of Chios, its aroma from the aniseed and the care during the distillation process, the decoration of its bottle from the passion of the traditional craftsmen of the island, when they create by painting the walls with the scraped designs called, “xysta” and its personality from the heart of the distiller of Chios. Alcohol 42% by vol and 84 proof. | 2019-04-20T02:21:52 | http://www.distinctiveimports.com/psychissons/ |

I surprised that the flood stuff is rubber. But I’m glad it is. I was worried it would be molded around the unique torso piece, but it’s rubber so I can put it on almost any figure. And the name tag actually says Keyes on it!
First of all, amazing. The figure himself is pretty amazing and great detail, i just ain't big on how bulky his torso is, i don't know if its supposed to be that way or not.

The Insurance Institute for Highway safety released their annual report on vehicle death and injuries for over 200 different 2001-2004 model year vehicles. The period of accidents covered was 2002-2005. Driver death rates averaged 79 per million registered vehicles.
A conversation with a Yavapai County Sheriff officer summed it up, when he stated "big vehicles win". His family drives a Suburban.
The Institute rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. The first requirement for a vehicle to become a Top Safety Pick is to earn good ratings in all three Institute tests. A new requirement for 2007 is that the winning vehicles must offer electronic stability control. This addition is based on Institute research indicating that ESC significantly reduces crash risk, especially the risk of fatal single vehicle crashes, by helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers.

Two monks were walking along a river when they came upon a crossing point.
At the crossing was a woman in tears. She told them that she was afraid of the water and could not cross. Without a word, or hesitation, the older monk proceeded to carry the woman on his shoulder, crossed the river and let her down on the other side.
The two monks resumed their path while the woman went her own way.
When they returned, the younger monk, obviously agitated, continued shaking his head and muttering under his breath. After a moment the older monk finally asked him what was wrong. The younger monk said, "Brother, we are prohibited from any contact with women, yet you carried that woman across the river on your back. You let her crawl onto you and you held her! " The older monk gave a slight smile and said to his younger companion: "Brother, I left her 2 miles back at the crossing. Yet, you still appear to be carrying her"

2014 – the year of new experiences and being terrified | MeatVentures!
ContactGet a hold of us!
2014 ended yesterday and it’s really been an incredible year for us. It was the year we started the Meatventures Meat Wagon and it’s been a year full of new experiences, learning, fun, and terror. When I say terror, I mean it in a good way. There were a lot of situations where I had to step way out of my comfort zone, which is a terrifying experience, but every time I did lead to growth and a bigger comfort zone.
I am also grateful for so much in 2014. I’m grateful for my wife Jeannie, who has gone out of her way to support me in this crazy adventure, despite it being a huge leap out of her own comfort zone. I’m grateful for everyone at Roux and in the Hamilton food community in general for all of their support and help. I’m grateful for every person who saw our little cart and chose to spend their hard earned money on our food. I’m grateful for all of my friends and family who understood when we missed event after event this year because we were either working or exhausted from working. I’m grateful that I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a position to take this path, and grateful for everyone who has helped along the way and believed in what we are doing.
With that being said, here’s some of the highlights from 2014 for us!
The first time Meatventures made any money. This was from someone buying some bacon and Jeannie framed it for me.
The first time I ever got a look at the Meat Wagon. We learned a lot by starting out with a little.
First time I ever got interviewed – thanks to Carly from the Fat Girl Food Squad!
Food and Drink show – the first time I ever served our food to the public. I was terrified and shaking and it took an hour for me to calm down. Also where I learned to let go of what I think I know and listen to those who know better.
Sew Hungry – the first time I ever did a cooking demo in front of anyone. Again, terrifying to start with, but better after Susan, Scott, and Iain helped me practice. They also introduced my to Chanry who I met for the first time and helped me out by co-hosting.
First service with the Meat Wagon. It was cold, it was windy, our umbrella blew away, our pilot lights wouldn’t work, and then it rained. Luckily some friends came and kept it from being a complete disaster.
First time at the Village Station Bazaar, and the first time we ever sold out completely. Which was good, but bad because we were still figuring out how much food we needed to bring to events.
First big event we ever did – the Waterdown Street Festival. We had a lot of friends come and visit us which was great. We brought an entire trailer full of crap to this event because we just didn’t know any better at the time. by the end of the season our setup was half the size.
Popup Hamilton – first time doing an upscale event and first time cooking for 90 people. Thanks to Jeannie, Iain, and Terry for helping me out and Susan and Dave for believing in me despite my inexperience. It was terrifying to present my dish to a big room full of diners, but it went well and the night was awesome. Was fun to work with everyone and help put everyone’s dishes together.
We competed at the Canadian National Bacon Championships and won, winning an entry to the World Food Championships and a trip to Vegas!
We travelled to a bunch of different events. Some were good, some were bad, but every time we learned something new and had fun.
We did our first big catering jobs.
We met some awesome people and made a bunch of new friends – I wish I had pics of everyone!
We travelled to Vegas to compete in the World Food Championships. Missed the second day by 0.3 of a point in 11th place, but had a blast and got to hang out with lots of good people.
We had an article written about us!
Finally, we launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise some funds for expanding our business so we can step it up this year. Together with our own funds we were able to put together enough money to move into a full size mobile kitchen. The new Meatwagon is currently under construction and will be out on the streets this spring.
There’s more – so much more, but if I put in everything from the year this post would go on forever and it’s already too long.
2015 is going to have a lot more firsts in store, and I’m sure it’ll have its own share of terrifying moments.
I’m really looking forward to expanding our menu and having a proper mobile kitchen to cook in and I can’t wait for the new season to start. Hope to see you all out there this year! | 2019-04-24T22:04:07 | http://meatventures.com/2014-the-year-of-new-experiences-and-being-terrified/ |
Nothing Like a Snack that Tastes like Apple Pie!
2. Spray Olive Oil or use REAL Butter to “grease” a square baking pan. Use whatever size you want. This recipe is for 4-6 squares, so use a baking pan that will cut 4-6 squares.
3. In a Large mixing bowl, Mix all the ingredients very well until you have a very thick batter. Use a Mixer, your hands whatever…..
4. Put the batter and spread evenly in your baking pan.
6. Take out and let cool completely.
7. Eat one now…..or…..put it in the fridge for later!
Depending on the brand of coconut flour you are using, you may want to experiment with adding an extra Tablespoon next time to make the batter more firm or less firm.
Also, you may want to add or reduce the Honey, depending on how “sweet” you want the snack to be.
There is also Vitamin C, Potassium, Iron and B vitamins in this Snack.

I've recently purchased the above model. It's very beautiful, robust and I really like the 720p video it offers unlike the DCS-825L model. I've set it up without problems in two Android phones and our Android tablet (all running Lollipop 5.0 and above).
The problem I am facing is most probably with the camera itself. In random times (it could be 2 hours, it could be 1 day) the camera will disappear from my wireless network. In fact, I have noticed that the camera reboots itself and when it finishes booting, the Green LED is on as it should be, but the blue (cloud) LED start blinking slowly. After that I cannot access the camera anymore and I have to hard reset it and run the setup wizard all over again!
EDIT: I just noticed that if I try to connect to the camera's web interface through a browser it says "File not found". Perhaps the camera's firmware is not installed correctly and therefore it randomly reboots? Is there any way to reinstall the firmware?
Wireless congested area: No. Just a couple of other wireless networks around.
I hail from Europe, Greece! I hope you can make an exception and offer me some help, since I know this forum is only for US customers, as stated in the top of this page.
I don't think that DCS-855L has the capability of setting up a static IP. I have even tried its web-interface (via http://x.x.x.x/eng/mainFrame.cgi) and mydlink.com but i don't see any relevant option.
Regarding the uPnP, I have it enabled on my router.
Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Use a WiFi Scanner to find out. How many?
Try using Auto Channel Width and set a manual channel to 1, 6, 11 or 13. Disable WPS and set Local Connection only for IPv6 ON the router.
Set Auto Channel Width > Done.
Set to channel manually to 11 > Done.
... and set Local Connection only for IPv6 ON the router.
Regarding the above... I have no idea what it is and where to go το set it I found an option in Advanced Network "Enable IPv6 Multicast Streams" which was enabled. Is this ok?
48 hours have passed and the camera works flawlessly! I have also set up an IP reservation in the router since i could not set a static IP on the camera. I don't know if this helped or not.
I think our job here is done FurryNutz! Thanks again!
Glad it's working well. Enjoy. | 2019-04-25T07:55:58 | http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=63790.0 |

If you’ve ever seen StacyPlays on Youtube, then you have an idea about what to expect from the Mystic Mesa modpack. This pack beefs up mesa biomes significantly, making them larger and more expansive in general and more specifically, filling them with strange monsters and critters you’ve never seen before, like wolves, birds, unicorns and even dragons. Sure, it might make more sense to see a dragon in extreme hills or another mountainous location, but Mystic Mesa brings the beasts to acacia forests everywhere. It should go without saying, but most of these custom mobs are also hostile and violent.
There are dozens of mods included in the Mystic Mesa mod pack, including Aqua Creepers, which allows for creepers that swim through the water and do massive explosion damage, even when the player is submerged. The Lantern Mod won’t make Minecraft like the Amnesia games, but it will give you a similar perspective of the world around your character, plus the lamp’s a nice light source that you can carry around with you to light up dark spaces. Torches, glowstone and other light sources do still produce light, but they don’t illuminate your surroundings when you’re just holding them.
There are improved ladder mods, mods that make zombies literally eat players and villagers, mods that add fossils and archaeology to the game and much more. However, there doesn’t seem to be any specific quest chain or sense of direction in Mystic Mesa. Instead, you’re free to do whatever you want and get your kicks where you can.
Each launcher is different, so same is for the installation process. If you want to see how to install Mystic Mesa ModPack for each launcher, please take a look at our ModPacks Installations page. | 2019-04-21T01:34:09 | http://minecraftmodpacks.net/mystic-mesa-modpack/ |

As the days went on and Trump began to immerse himself more and more into politics in the United States, it became very clear that not only was he serious about running for the position of Head of State in 2012, but that he is without a doubt the man for the job.
Trump is a successful businessman. He went from being one of the most successful and wealthiest businessmen in America to going bankrupt then back to being successful. Not only did he resurrect his career, but also he improved it tenfold. Trump is by far richer, smarter, and more successful today than he ever was.
And right now, that is exactly why America needs Donald Trump. The United States went from being the most prosperous country in the world to struggling with its economy. Right now we are in a time of crucial need for an economic and political overhaul that would reduce the national debt and deficit, as well as completely turn around the economy.
Trump is one of the wisest people in the entire country in terms of economics and finance. So how could he possibly not be fit for that aspect of the job?
Trump also is the only man in the country with the courage to say what others can only have the guts to think.
He called out President Obama on his political tactics and his place of birth.
Sure Obama may have presented a birth certificate, but as President of the United States of America, is it not even slightly possible that he fabricated the document?
The man barely spent his childhood in the country and his father was not even born in this continent. Do people really trust a piece of paper to discount the rest of the evidence? There have been people who have counterfeit more difficult documents.
Imagine Trump dealing with Congress. He won’t allow anyone to push for random measures or spend money frivolously without calling them on their actions. He would rule with an iron “you’re fired” hand.
Trump will get to the bottom of every issue without beating around the bush or sugarcoating his questions.
Trump would handle every issue that comes his way swiftly and effectively.
With both his personal success and his recent political actions, Trump has proven that he is the man for the job of President of the United States of America.
Yep I agree! Trump would fire every imbisol in Congress, turn the US economy around and dominate the world.

Lucrative incentive but subpar in-branch customer service.
Despite the long lines inside their branches, Chase offers the most convenient locations. Banking with them has been great so far! Switching over was the best deal yet!
Chase Bank is a lucrative banking opportunity, however it has served me well when I converted it from the Total checking to the Student checking account. I typically use my account to pay my Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit card. The in-branch customer service is a bit lacking. It’s almost as if the employees don’t want to be there and have something better to do. The credit card customer service is excellent. They are open 24/7 and you can always hear a smile on their face. The app that they offer is quite convenient for keeping up with your finances on the go. I would recommend the checking account only if you plan on applying for a credit card from them or opening for the bonus.
Signed up for their basic checking and savings account and because I was a veteran, the service rep recommended I upgrade to an interest paying checking account for no additional requirements. Now I get more services than I would if I had just signed up for the basic checking.
Happy with Chase, and love the website, thank you for your hard work to maintain it with deals!
Fantastic mobile experience. I love the app both on my android and apple devices.
I’ve been banking with Chase since the start of college, and I must say that the mobile app has saved me on numerous occasions. Convenient and Reliable.
I use Chase because it is right across the street from my office. I like their ATM which can deposit checks and use that as well as teller services and their service has met or exceeded my expectations.
I have total checking and saving account for nearly 4 months. I come from China and have been in US for only 8 months as a PostDoc with J-1 visa, I was very welcome the day I applied chase account in our local branch, The bankers are very nice and informed me know the policy in detail because my English is not very good. After about one hour’s work we completed the paperwork. The bankers are also very nice when I withdraw or deposit money everytime. The online bank is pretty convenient, I can pay bills and transfer money easily. And recently I have been approved Chase Freedom Credit Card, I’m very lucky because I have only half a year’s credit history. I like Chase. All the best! Come on, you’ll do better!
Chase has been great for me in the past! Lots of great products and very good customer service based on my experiences.
My Chase bank has told me about some savings account promotions for EXISTING users before — something like “deposit another 10k in new money and receive $150 back”. Will this site try to list those promotions?
I hope I win the drawing!
Love all the offers from Chase! They always pay attention to customers’ needs and go out of their way to cater to customers.
Chase has always been good to me. Bonuses go through smoothly.
I had a checking account with Chase and it functioned as you would expect and I like the branches – they are pretty nice and you can tell they put money into them.
Chase is great. Like the quick pay feature to transfer money to family.
Been using Chase for 20+ years…very satisfied.
I’ve only had positive experiences with Chase Bank. I have a checking account with them, and have had no issues with it. I wish the minimum balance of $1500 for fee avoidance was lower, but other than that I like the account. There are plenty of Chase ATM’s to withdraw money from. It’s super easy to deposit apps with their mobile app.
Chase banking branches have been friendly to me when I go in to deposit in person and I have found that to be very helpful because their branches are well located.
I love that online banking is so efficient. Other banks offer the same service, but Chase seems to process bill payments faster which has saved me a few times. I’ve also had positive customer service experiences. For instance, a customer service representative once called me back the next day to make sure my needs were met. It was like having a friend check up on you. Thanks, Chase!
Chase has been my bank for the past 8 years. I really love the staff at the Central Point location!
Chase has recently opened a new branch in my neighborhood and I decided to stop-by, to check them out and inquire about opening a new checking account. I was greeted by the most friendly staff who accommodated me and addressed all my need beyond all expectations. I opened my new account on the spot, with no fees, free checks and a $300 bonus (using a promo coupon). That week, I inquired with 3 other major banks and nobody else offered free checks, better conditions and online features. The $300 bonus gift was deposited in my account in 10 days, a record speed for such promo bonuses. I am totally impressed and based on my experience I don’t believe you’ll find any better bank than Chase.
I just became a Chase customer, and I must say that I am very satisfied with customer support and the bonuses. I was so satisfied with opening up a checking account with Chase, that I just got a Chase Freedom Rewards credit card! Thank you, Chase!
Chase has always made me feel welcome and made it super easy to get things i need done!
Having a Chase account is a must for any New Yorker. They are simply everywhere! I just wish they had no service fees for their bank accounts.
I have been with a lot of banks over the years and chase has what I feel is the best website which is user friendly, good looking, and links all of your accounts together including your credit card accounts. I think it is awesome and their customer service is great too.
Chase has truly been remarkable. The representative that assisted me with opening my account was more than helpful and even gave me a tracking number for my bonus. It’s been smooth sailing since I chose to open my accounts with them. Awesome employees and fantastic bank.
Chase is awesome and loyal to their word! Bank of the West had a similar offer but failed to mention all their stipulations and restrictions! I also love the fact that Chase offers their machines in AMPM.. so happy that I bank with them!
Chase is overall a very good bank. Albeit I find their interest rates on savings accounts low (everyones are). I find their mobile app superior over any other as BOA still doesn’t offer TouchID for logging in. Overall, happy to be a chase customer, I feel my money is secure.
A chase card in every wallet and a branch on every block!
Chase is really a good company to bank with. I personally am an employee there and compared to other banks, no other institution has service like Chase does. Friendly staff and good customer experience.
I’ve been with Chase and no other bank and have been very satisfied with this bank and the customer services. The website is also great and allows me to do so much from my phone or computer, which is so convenient!
I just LOVE this banking institution. I got a letter in the mail one day…decided to pop in to learn a little more about the bank. And since day 1 I have had over the top customer service. Staff at my branch are phenomenal. I would definitely recommend chase to family and friends!!!
I’ve been with chase for the past 5 years, never had a probelm with their service and they always notified me if any suspicious activity was going on with my account.
Chase bank has been wonderful. The employees are always friendly and helpful, either in the bank itself or on the phone. I have been with them for many years now, and love the customer service, and the ease of banking with them. I would recommend them to anyone!
I’ve only just opened my account with Chase after switching from another bank about a month ago, and I can truly say, I’ve never been more happy or satisfied going to the bank. It’s all so quick and they explain everything so well.
So many great features to a Chase account. Great tips to avoid the fees!
Chase sent me the $500 coupon for Total Checking and Savings. I opened the Total Checking and I am currently waiting for my direct deposit to switch over to get the bonus. Very happy with Chase so far.
I received a pretty good sign up bonus with direct deposit which was nice. Chase has been good so far, I haven’t had any issues at all. I like that there are so many branches near me.
Just signed up for a checking account with Chase and Hilda made my experience very comfortable and the entire staff was very welcoming. With promotional perks like 200.00 for signing up with direct deposit, it would’ve been ridiculous NOT to choose Chase!
i have always had great customer service from Chase – i would never bank anywhere else.
and waiting for my bonus. The customer relation staff were very professional and curtious.
Chase offers are the best. Both myself and my husband have individual savings,checking, and credit cards with them. So, we were both able to get all the bank bonuses doubly!! When we moved from Texas to Arizona we were able to transfer everything without a hassle. Chase banks were everywhere and very convenient. We each have different Chase credit card accounts so one is mostly for travel and the other is used to get that special 5% bonus points on the new promos that are quarterly. It makes that “Chase what you Can!” saying the real thing. The tellers, customer service agents are always there. You call and you immediately talk to a real person– no automated menus to navigate. We are very happy to work with a bank that values our business.
Always a great experience with Chase!
I have had a chase account for a couple of years and have always receive great service. They are easy to work with and and have resolved any issues in a courteous and expedient manner.
Chase has some of the friendliest staff in branch, and their process to open an account was easy and enjoyable.
I really like Chase banking as atms are always available in cities that I visit as well as the convenience of the quick pay app. As a college student, their services are very easy to use and not a hassle to work with.
I love chase bank and would love to keep it!!
Chase is great. Been banking with them for 15 years. My checking, my wife’s checking, our savings, and our Mortgage. Always great rates, and great customer service.
When I went in to the Chase in Naples, FL on US 41 I was greeted and served promptly. I was treated like I had a million bucks! Rachna offered me coffee and was very personable. She was interested in me as a person instead of just my money. The bank manager also came over and greeted me. What customer service!
I like Chase Bank because of their great customer service.
Chase Bank’s reputation makes me confident to join up with them! Very much appreciate the tips for signup bonuses, thanks!
Chase has been the most down to earth bank I’ve dealt with. They pretty much say, “Here, set-up an account and do what you need to do.” It doesn’t ever feel like I’m being cheated.
I have had no problems s worn Chase Bank. I used to be with B of A and hated it. Chase is so much better!
Have had a good experience so far. They have been much more helpful than previous banks I’ve used.
Chase is located on practically every corner-convenient.
I’m satisfied with my banking experience so far.
Awesome banking experience, this is what a customer look for when you are new to a place, easy of use(app), easily reachable, supporting and satisfying staff and to add to all this joining bonus.
Excellent customer service and easy on line banking service!
Excellent customer service, thanks for the chance!
Chase checkin account is awesome. they give 300 dollar back which is great and i opened account for my wife too. | 2019-04-22T13:59:38 | https://idoro.ru/chase-250-coupon/ |

Yesterday there was a fresh dusting of snow on the Three Sisters. Besides being stunningly beautiful, it reminded me that we are approaching the cold season and all the food that comes with it. I know I'm not the only one who breaks out the soup pot and starts making bread as soon as the leaves change!
With visions of chicken pot pie and chili floating through my head I came across Valori's placemat and napkin pattern. Perfect! A new look for my table and I still have plenty of time to make cookies. The only difficult thing about this project is choosing your fabrics! In fact I found so many combinations I wanted to make I have extra options to show you this month.
Keep in mind that placemats shown are digital representations from photos of the fabric. Fabric scale, repeat, and color may be altered. Pictures are meant to give you an idea of what the project will look like, not a prefect representation.
My first selection is three fabrics from Imagined Landscapes by Jen Hewett and follows Valori's pattern as written. I had a very hard time not cutting the fabric and running home to sew up a batch. If you love this option as is, we put together a bundle of all the fabric you'll need for four placemats.
Jane made this selection fabrics from Wonder by Carrie Bloomston and follows Valori's pattern as written. The colors in this fabric are so rich and vibrant! I love that the design captures a sense of happy "wonder" without being childish.
For this selection I added an extra border. Simply cut a 1" strip, press in half and sandwich between your main fabric and edge fabrics. No need to sew any extra seams. Very cute and seasonal as is, but I think it could be even better with one of the segments from this panel appliquéd in the corner. I like the idea of all my guests having their own message or picture.
You could also add the picture or small print sections to your napkins. Picture sections are 5.5" wide by 8" tall. Print section is 5.5" wide by 4" tall. Panel is sold as a 24" (2/3 yard) section of both.
The last selection is a simple two fabric placemat with embellishment. I wanted to show an example of how you could use fabric paint or embroidery to add interest and make your mats truly unique. This selection uses canvas fabrics to more weight and texture. Our main fabric is Forage by Anna Graham paired with a basic black canvas. We aren't offering a bundle for this selection, for four placemats main fabric front and back you need 1 1/2 yards. For front panel only, you need 2/3 yard.
Sadly, we are out of the fabric Teri used to make these gorgeous placemats, but I wanted you to see what a finished mat looks like.
I hope you have fun with this project and all it's possibilities. As always I'd love to see your work. Send me your pics or tag @StitchinPost on Instagram or @StitchinPostor on Facebook.
Art History 101 by Marcia Derse is here. We're so excited to have this amazing line in the shop! The possibilities with this fabric are endless; quilts, bags, home decor, and more. The main panel fabric is so interesting you could frame the fabric alone.
The entire line is now in the shop and on the website, but it's going fast!
Be sure to check back next week; we'll have some pre-cut bundles and patterns featuring this fantastic fabric.
We are giving away a signed copy of Jean's amazing book "Intuitive Color & Design!"

As a pizzeria, Eno’s is rather disappointing. The crust bulges with blackened air pockets and carries a nice, bitter char. But the execution of the whole—sauce and toppings and important bits—droops into mediocrity. But the cool Oak Cliff (make that Bishop Arts District) parlor offers many other reasons to spend an evening, including a well-considered beer list and some surprising non-pie options.
You can sample local creamy cheeses with rosemary pecans or try spice-filled figs with Texas goat cheese. Or pluck from a rotating selection of olives. Eno’s has daily rotating soup selection too, ranging from Hudson lentil to Napa Valley porridge. Meyer lemon salad with bacon and shaved Parmesan doused in honey (local) tarragon vinaigrette piques too. On our visits, European standards such as the bouillabaisse have stood out, as did the root beer float. Made from good ice cream and artisanal root beer, it turns out creamy, bitter, and effervescent.
Like many restaurants these days, Eno’s stresses local sourcing (the “local pie” boasts seasonal, “locally influenced” staples). Even the wine list is local; with Texas wines and a selection from Dallas’s own Times Ten Cellars. The wine selection strains price credulity though. | 2019-04-21T22:29:48 | http://www.fearlesscritic.com/dallas/restaurant/5903/enos-pizza-tavern-dallas |
In the walkthrough for the Silverfall basic game I've made a great effort to give you the more information and to gather the more quests just to help you, if you get stuck somewhere or you're simply curious about the game play.
Please take that into account, from the Companion-type quests only those ones are available for you that are given by the companions you travel with. For example: you can only get Tanya's first quest if she's with you at the time you are in the Great Cemetery Wastelands.
The description for the quests of Portiz and Alina was the great work of Kriszta (a Hungarian fan), and she was also the one who helped me to build-up the content of the site with her critical but beneficial comments.
I grouped the walkthrough by places for the sake of clear sight. Therefore somewhere the chronology is a bit "upside down". During the game you have to return to a place, sometimes more than twice. So there will be quests in a place in between more time elapse. These ones will be marked and you'll find the prelude there and with a simple mouse click you'll be able to check on it, and then return.
This description is clearly a spoiler for those who love surprises!
You need to complete two quests in this Mine, but you don't get another one here.
You need to complete quests you picked up earlier in this Camp, but you don't get another one here.
Here you don't get any new quest, you just have to fight a way to the Necroraider Laboratory.
Here you don't get any new quest either, you just have to break through the hordes of necroriaders and get to the Zeppelin.
You can find the walkthrough for the extension of this game, Earth Awakening here, or on top amongst the main buttons, or in the Navigation menu. | 2019-04-21T18:15:52 | http://silverfall.net/viewpage.php?page_id=1 |

Interesting. I’m guessing they went by “official” organic certification numbers.
We have an surprising swath of orchards. Pecans? Peaches? That is similar to the swath the cross timbers cut across Oklahoma.
Organic status is self-reported and there were no steps taken by the USDA to verify status for the Census of Agriculture.
Respondents were instructed to report organic production as defined by the National Organic Standards while in 2002 only acreage of certified organically produced crops was collected.
So, I guess it depends on if the farmer thinks her growing methods meet the standards set forth by the National Organic Standards Board, even if she hasn’t been certified. Or is certification an inherent part of meeting the standards? Hmmm.
I’m confused by the total number of organic farms used in the NYT maps. The Census of Agriculture shows more than 20,000 U.S. farms engaged in organic production. And I’m confused further since I can’t tell if the whole operation is organic, or just part. I’ve emailed the author inquiring about that.
The USDA is currently conducting its first-ever Organic Production Survey, which will be a more in-depth look at organic farming, types of crops, livestock, practices, marketing, and processing. And you don’t have to be certified to participate.
Through the Organic Production Survey, NASS [National Agricultural Statistics Service] will gather additional information on how the growth of organic farming is changing the face of U.S. agriculture.
Okie doke. Hannah Fairfield (the author) updated the map key to show that the farms she plotted are indeed certified organic farms and that is why the numbers vary from the Ag Census.
this also explains why it seems difficult to get fresh, locally grown produce around here.
By the way, Hannah’s is starting to beef up their use of locally grown foods and bringing attention to it in their menus. Woohoo!
I think the lack of locally grown produce is more of a cultural thing. Our metro areas like big chain grocers and big chain restaurants, my fellow farmers like big acreages, lots of inputs, and abhor direct marketing.
It’s one of those things that constantly perplexes me. (ironically while sitting on a tractor) I think it’s either our relative newness as a state, or the cultural aspects of our population that steer things a certain way. A city like Chicago creates enough demand to alter the surrounding agricultural landscape, while OKC just doesn’t have the numbers. | 2019-04-21T18:48:06 | https://oklavore.com/2009/05/06/plotting-progress/ |

Alamosa Hunter Trials. It could have been any Paces challenge, Ae-Cha thought, as she urged Carter Seven IK over the well-traveled ground. Jeff had been going well, pacing himself against CE Maple Leaf the entire trial. Not knowing the peak time was always difficult, but as long as she kept Jeff even and they both had fun, it wouldn't matter in the long run. It helped that they had Carina Paris, their new English Foxhound, who at only six months, was still learning the ropes - and was in desperate need of a good haircut. Still, the five of them were currently having a great time, and Ae-Cha was almost able to pretend this was just another trial. Except that today, Jeff was close to grabbing his National Champion title, and she'd worked too hard to see this pass her by. Behind her, she could hear Aline urging Justin along behind her. Both horses were close to retiring, and Ae-Cha would be sad to see that happen, and both were determined to have their boys achieve the best title they could. Aline had suffered a setback in Hawk, who'd been taken lame just before the competition, and injuries had beset the team for weeks. If Ae-Cha and Aline could pull off a close time and get those points, their horses would both title out before their retirement, and earn those sugar cubes she was sure the vet would talk her out of giving them eventually. They deserved a good long rest in their paddocks, maybe taking a jump now and again through the Montréavila forest. Throwing her attention back into the trial, Ae-Cha rounded the next bend and took off for the jump with renewed enthusiasm. They could do this. As Ae-Cha, Aline, Jeff and Justin thundered towards the end of the course, Paris darting between their heels, they'd hit close enough to the time that Jeff hit his title, and Justin was only eight points shy. Next time, Aline thought, giving Justin a concillatory pat on the neck.

Mini programs are cloud-based embedded apps within WeChat. Apps within an app, if you will.
Great for users because they don’t need to install as many apps on their mobile phone, thus saving them a lot of phone storage. Plus they also don’t ever need to worry about missing or reinstalling apps whenever they change their phones since the mini programs remain connected to their WeChat accounts.
Rather than downloading them from a secondary app store or other website, WeChat users access mini programs either by simply searching within the main program, scanning a QR code or receiving an update within their chats. It optimises the users’ experience because they never waste time waiting for app installation or switching in and out of WeChat.
CNPay is proud to announce that we can now provide these services to all Australian merchants. Fully customising the functionality to each specific request. Efficiently and cost-effectively. Thus making it easier to become even closer to your customers.
Using our technology and expertise, you’ll find Mini programs quite easy to develop and implement. We recommend first trialling a beta-version in order to test the market viability (thus avoiding a large investment) then refining the Mini app, based on customer feedback, before releasing the full version to the massive WeChat user base.
Mini programs continue to be very popular with WeChat users covering almost every necessity of daily life like transportation, food and fine dining, time management, video viewing, photography, online shopping and many more. | 2019-04-26T08:09:15 | http://www.cnpay.com.au/?p=5009 |
