ACS Athens retains two separate air conditioned cafeteria areas; the main cafeteria by the school Theater lobby and the Elementary cafeteria which only serves Elementary students. Students may also enjoy their lunch at some open air campus areas.
Sandwiches are available as a daily option in addition to the below hot lunch menu.
The pricing policy has been negotiated with the School's Management Team, according to the tender documentation and requirements of ACS Athens. Gefsinus has establised a contemporary computerized system, which can give statistics for your children's daily food/beverage consumption. You can prepay for your children's food for 20 or 60 meals and get a further discount on the meal cost. You can also get a discount for your 2nd or 3rd child in the school. Every child will have its own prepaid meal card, which is necessary for the purchase of meals and also for buying extra snacks, drinks, etc., as approved by their parents.
You can make direct payment to the Food Services Cashier (Monday to Friday, 09:00-11:00) or deposit the monthly amount in the bank for your child's meals, seven days prior to the week's meal period, or pay with credit card. The prepaid card can also be used for purchasing other products except meals, such as snacks, juices etc. This option has a minimum deposit of €10. For each purchase, children will receive the relevant receipt from the Cashier and it will be their responsibility to deliver it to their parents. In cases where invoices are requested, customers should inform the Cashier prior to the purchase.
The Menu of the hot meals is published at the schools on a mothly basis and there is one for Middle School / High School and another for the Elementary cafeterias. The offered food items pricing is also listed in our website. For full hot meals there is a prepayment card which offers a price discount.
The hours of operation are 8:00 to 18:00 at the main cafeteria. The Elementary cafeteria is open only during the lunch time. All students, school employees and parents can eat at the cafeteria areas regardless of whether they purchased the food from the school cafeteria or brought the food from home.
Gefsinus is the largest catering company operating in closed markets in Greece and one of the largest ones in southeastern Europe. It caters daily to 90.000 people in more than 80 service locations in Athens, Crete and Peloponnese. It covers the catering needs of industrial and service provider companies, medical care and educational institutions, camps, etc. It owns an ultra modern and fully equipped central production unit in Athens and one in Crete, which are designed according to the standards imposed by the European and Greek legislation.
Founded in 1992, we boast for our 22 years of experience that give us the expertise needed to offer the best quality in all our products and services. Our meals are based on the Mediterranean cuisine which is acknowledged world wide as the most balanced and healthy cuisine. We focus on using materials, fruits and vegetables in season to ensure their quality and non-use of chemicals.

The third triennial conference of the Ghana Studies Association, “Ghana As Center,” will bring scholars of Ghana together at the University of Ghana from the 10th to 13th of July 2019.
From its inception, the mission of the GSA has been to nurture a community of scholars of Ghana that is intergenerational, multidisciplinary, and multilocal. In furtherance of this vision, GSA instituted the triennial conference in 2013, becoming the first African Studies Association’s affiliate organization to host a conference on the African continent.
“Ghana as Center” will be our largest and most dynamic conference; we expect over 200 participants—researchers, artists and activists–from West Africa, North America and Europe engaging in different forms of intellectual engagement around the question, ‘What will it mean for Ghana Studies to place Ghana at the center of research?’ We are excited to have on our program papers, performances and visual presentations that recognize Ghana as both unique and global, as a site for methodological innovations and theoretical insights.
Community support is essential for the success of GSA programs, and necessary to ensure that all fees associated with attending “Ghana As Center” remain low for our diverse, global community of scholars, including graduate students and early career faculty.
We invite you to become GSA a conference patron with a contribution of $250 or more, or you may join as a conference co-sponsor with a contribution of $1,000 or more. We will acknowledge your important contribution on both the GSA website and in the conference program.
We appreciate your continued support of the Ghana Studies Association! | 2019-04-24T08:11:16 | http://ghanastudies.com/announcements/gsa-triennial-conferences/ghana-as-center-conference-legon-10-13-july-2019/support-the-ghana-as-center-conference/ |
After two days of almost 60 degree temperatures, it is snowing. The National Weather Service said it would snow about an inch over night and would continue this morning. No appreciable accumulation is expected.
Five minutes on Route 29 South (the original thoroughfare to DC -- a major artery) and it's an easy shot to M's house. Because it was 54 degrees and beautifully sunny, I opened the sun roof and had my windows down. Just before her exit was when I spotted it. I slowed down, blinked a couple of times, took a deep breath and looked again. It was still there -- on the right of the highway, between the guard rail and the huge sound barrier: a large ram -- not a Dodge Ram -- a real, four-legged, grass munching ovis ammun. When I got to M's house, I called Animal Control and told them what I'd seen all the while emphasizing I was not drunk and/or delusional. Much to her credit, the agent did not laugh and acted like she had gotten calls like this every day. She said she would send an officer out immediately. She asked for my phone number; I gave it wondering if she would hang up and call the county mental health clinic or the police who would ask me to surrender my license.
This was the second time I had seen a goat or a ram where there shouldn't have been any. Six weeks after my cancer surgery, Richard and I went to Ocean Isle, NC, for a recuperative stay. One evening while awaiting entry onto the one-lane bridge to Sunset Beach, I saw, in the marsh to my right, munching away -- a huge auburn-coated ram or goat (it's hard for me to tell the difference. I was born in South Philly for heaven's sake!). Again with the blinking...it was still there. Thinking that morphine takes a long time to leave the system, I asked Richard to look in the marsh and tell me if he saw anything interesting. He did. "What's a goat doing in the marsh???!" I felt much better.
I do believe in omens; I have, however, absolutely no idea as to what this means. I'm a Gemini so it's not an astrological identity thing. Maybe I should have been rooting for LA all along instead of the Eagles?
To see one quietly grazing denotes that you will have powerful friends, who will use their best efforts for your good.
btw - I'm a Gemini too.
Back in 2007 there was a goat living in the cliffs along Crooked Creek back behind the soccer fields being the jr. high school here. People who walked and jogged along the path would see it in the morning.
The city decided he wasn't hurting anything so they didn't go up and get him. Then a group of jr. high kids killed the poor thing. Little freaking monsters.
Maybe a ram is your spirit animal. They usually appear when you need strength or encouragement. At least that's what a Native American told me. Very interesting. I wonder what Dr. Phil would make of it??
I like Gin's idea. Now I'm wondering what it means.
Dear Kathy, I went to the doctor and I paid the bill. I have a dental device in my mouth.
My teeth are twisted, and I try to correct them.
But I'm very bored, because it' s 2 years!!!!
So, the 19th february i will take off all, and I'll show my new smile on blogger!!!
Ram omens MUST be a good thing!
Just stopping by from Kubuto...Brad's place.
I wish I had seen that Ram. Darn. I'm with the things come in 3 group, so I'll be waiting for the follow-up story.
You're a great mom and grandma. Is the baby better? | 2019-04-20T04:57:49 | http://kathyspeace.blogspot.com/2009/02/ram-lamma-ding-dong.html |
Looking for expert insights with a number of opinions in sports -- then visit The Athletes Village. Ask a question. See what others have said too.
In March, 2019, the top level was achieved! Gamification goodie worth a pat on the back or a cup icon.
As the coldest days arrived, so too came great news of a grant of more than $7K.
This award will support our efforts of "playing well with others" at community swim pools. SKWIM USA, a nonprofit that helps to promote swimming, fitness, sportsmanship and game-play get the funding to obtain equipment and host Aquatic Jamboree events this summer in Pittsburgh.
With the spending of other people's money come a big splash of responsibility. So, I'm interested in connecting now to prepare to engage with you, your families, your friends neighbors, organizations and even business contacts.
All ages and all swim abilities are welcome as we play SKWIM at Aquatic Jamborees, but we need to rally more political will to participate and venture out of our comfort zones -- for the sake of fun and fitness.
Can we get your team down to the Northside or Hill District to compete? Or, can we bring our game and perhaps a squad to your summer pool?

In the realms of professional craftsmanship, the quality of the tools can have a dramatic impact on the quality of the output — whether it be analog, such as a woodworker creating a cabinet, or digital, such as a software developer creating a computer program. Yet this is not the only reason why programmers tend to be particularly choosy and even fiercely loyal regarding the tools of their trade, because software development may be the only field in which its practitioners build their own tools and thus understand better than anyone else the desired capabilities with which those tools could be imbued.
As a result, hundreds of competing source code editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) have been created and refined during the past several decades. The initial products available were line editors whose sole input device was the keyboard of a terminal connected to a mainframe computer, and whose sole output device was a line printer — no screen and no mouse! Eventually those were supplanted by full-screen editors — such as vi and Emacs — that displayed multiple lines of text on a monospace terminal, and were more geared toward computer programming than were the first generation of editors. With the increasing availability of personal computers and language compilers, dedicated programmer's editors — such as Brief, Multi-Edit, jEdit, and UltraEdit — steadily gained valuable features, including language-sensitive syntax highlighting, code folding, search-and-replace using regular expressions, macro languages, and project file management.
The most powerful programming applications eventually incorporated more advanced features, many of which were previously handled by separate dedicated applications. These features include: debugging source code interactively, generating unit test code, checking files in and out of version control utilities, customizing the editor's user interface, recording and running macros to automate tasks, and using FTP to upload and download source code files and other website resources. One such development environment is Komodo IDE, which I will examine here.
Their flagship programming platform, Komodo IDE, was first released three years later, according to Wikipedia. The latest version, as of this writing, is 10.2.1, a copy of which was kindly provided for review by ActiveState. The software can run natively on Microsoft Windows 7 and later versions, Mac OS X 10.9 and later, and officially six of the most popular Linux distributions and probably most if not all of the major ones.
In terms of financial costs, Komodo IDE Personal, at $147, is available for students, freelancers, and other individuals who would not be compensated for their purchase. Professional developers can get a single-seat license for $295 or $394, depending on whether they want upgrades and support. For teams of five or more developers, five licenses can be had for $1675. Anyone interested in a site license to support 20 or more developers, should contact ActiveState. Teachers may qualify for a single or group license at no charge.
ActiveState makes freely available an open-source editor, known simply as Komodo Edit, which is quite usable for text editing but does not include any of the more advanced IDE capabilities.
In this review, I will be using the Microsoft Windows version of Komodo IDE, on a Windows 10 machine. In this case, the installation requires 276 MB of space on the hard drive. If you were to perform the installation process, then you should see six pop-up windows in succession (whose screenshots will not be shown here), which allow you to customize the content and location of your installation. Specifically, on the "Custom Setup" window, within the parent grouping "Desktop Integration", there are three optional features: "Desktop Shortcut", as the name implies, simply adds a shortcut to your desktop. Similarly, "Quick Launch Shortcut" adds one to your taskbar. "Register as Default" specifies that the Komodo IDE instance you are installing will have higher precedence over any other installations of the software — presumably earlier versions. That same window indicates that the default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\ActiveState Komodo IDE 10\. (This naturally will be different for people installing on a Mac OS X or Linux platform.) It can be changed to any alternate destination if its drive has sufficient free disk space.
On the last window, if you finish the installation process with the "Open User Guide" option selected, then the online manual will be opened in a new browser window. Overall the process is similar to that of any other modern software application, and you will likely find that it goes smoothly.
Once Komodo IDE is installed, launching the program for the first time will result in six additional pop-up windows. On the "Appearance" and "Integration" window, you can specify the color scheme from one of 17 possible options (the "Default" scheme uses various dark background colors). In the "Integration" section, you can specify one of nine options for the key bindings, with support for seven other popular editors / IDEs: Atom, Eclipse, Emacs, IntelliJ, Sublime, VScode, and Vi. It is not immediately obvious what the difference is between the two options "Default" and "Legacy" (the old Default) nor that between the two options "Vi" and "_vi". The window also designates which web browser will be used by Komodo IDE for opening web pages.
On the next window, you can change the indentation from the default option of four spaces. Also, you can specify five options related to the automation of editing, such as triggering snippets and code completions, ending delimiters and tags, and wrapping a selection with a typed delimiter. Throughout this review, I will stick with all the default values.
When the initial launch sequence ends, you should see the Komodo IDE main window, whose interface is likely quite different from the appearance and layout of most if not all the other applications you are accustomed to within your given operating system's environment — enough so that it might initially seem a bit cluttered and confusing. This is partly because the traditional menu bar is initially collapsed into a three-line menu (a.k.a. the hamburger or drawer menu) in the upper right of the toolbar — or more correctly, the horizontal bar which is located beneath the menu bar and which contains what the documentation refers to as "toolbars", each consisting of a set of buttons with related functionality. Being able to easily hide the menu bar is a welcome feature — and possibly inspired by mobile apps — as it frees up needed space that would otherwise be occupied by an entire menu bar that may get little use once you begin editing files.
In terms of appearance alone, the default styling is a flat design that incorporates shades of black, gray, blue, and white. As a result, it has a clean look that does not appear to use any of the icons, controls, and other elements that are provided by the given operating system's UI libraries for developers to use. One could argue that this not only gives the product a much more consistent appearance over all of the OS platforms that it supports, but it probably also reduces the burden of ActiveState's design and support work specific to a particular platform. Any user who wishes to alter the appearance to more closely match the native standards of a particular operating system, can do so using the options at Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Platform Integration.
The toolbar, at least the left portion of it, is by default reminiscent of that of a web browser, with buttons for moving forward and backward. To the right of those are three buttons for common file-related tasks. The central portion of the toolbar is dominated by a field labeled "Go to Anything", which allows you to search, from a single field, through all of your code bookmarks, the Komodo IDE commands and menu items, the API documentation, your currently open files, installable packages, shell commands, your toolbox items (such as snippets and macros), and the files and sections defined within any project. The buttons to the right of that field can be used for managing macros, controlling the display of the three side and bottom panes (which contain various widgets), and other functionality. The toolbar can be customized, such that the default buttons can be disabled or enabled as desired, and new buttons can be added to it.
All professional-grade IDEs allow extensive customization of the appearance and functionality of those products, and Komodo IDE is no exception. The preferences window (accessible by Edit > Preferences) has no fewer than 29 categories: Appearance, Code Intelligence, Color Scheme, Commando, Debugger, Editor, Environment, File Associations, File Opening, File Saving, Find, Formatters, HTTP Inspector, Interactive Shell, Internationalization, Key Bindings, Language Help, Languages, Mapped URIs, Notifications, Places, Printing, Servers, Shared Support, Source Code Control, Syntax & Spell Checking, Web & Browser, Workspace, and Windows Integration. To quickly limit the list to those matching a search phrase of one or more keywords, you can type it into the search field above the list of category names.
One glaring omission is a feature offered by most if not all major word processors, spreadsheet programs, and other editors: the ability to specify a default directory to begin at when opening an existing file. But in Komodo IDE there is none, and when you begin a new session, Files > Open invariably begins looking in the samples directory (created by the installation process) or, for Windows users, your Documents directory, even though it is quite unlikely that your files are stored in either location. For any fresh session, the process should instead default to whatever value you set in a new field in Preferences > File Opening.
Overall, the level of customizability provided within Komodo IDE can be quite helpful. For instance, the text used within the program, such as for the built-in help information and on the menu labels, starts off rather small — enough that it might prove annoying to users with vision difficulties. Fortunately, you can change the font face and size, separately for the user interface and the text displayed in the editor. The allowed values are determined by the chosen color scheme, whose preferences section is like a style editor unto itself, with options to set such style choices as the foreground and background colors, as well as bolding and italicizing, for every conceivable element shown in the Editor Pane, including function names, identifiers, and 50 others. You can even create a new custom color scheme if you are not happy with any of the 17 prebuilt ones.
In my opinion, there are some noticeable blemishes in the layout and menu design of the Komodo IDE interface. For instance, one of the first oddities a new user will notice is a group of nine buttons near the center of the New Tab pane. All of these are redundant, and duplicate commands accessible from the main menu — and thus they are a waste of space and seem like an attempt to fill up the empty area of that pane. I suspect most developers would prefer more of a "blank canvas" when starting fresh.
Similarly, in the lower right corner are two buttons, labeled "Troubleshooting" and "Report a Bug". The "Troubleshooting" button activates a menu whose ten links largely duplicate those of the Help > Troubleshooting menu accessed from the three-line menu at the top. The two sets of links should have been combined into one and centralized in the main menu. In addition, the button wastes screen space. The same criticisms can be leveled at the "Report a Bug" button, but even more so: That button is redundant because it duplicates the functionality of the Help > Troubleshooting > "Report a Bug" menu item, and it too wastes space as it is merely a link to the GitHub web page for Komodo IDE and Komodo Edit issues. The prominent visibility of that button has (according to the ActiveState team) increased the number of bug reports submitted by users, but that same benefit might be achieved by telling every new user about the "Report a Bug" menu item. The reminder could be included in the initial screens seen by users when they first begin running Komodo IDE. As an alternative or as a complement, the information could be presented as a usage tip (one of many), since so many computer users are accustomed to countless programs popping up a brief but informative tip each time they launch a given program. At the very least, there should be a setting in the user preferences to hide both of those buttons.
The View > Tabs & Sidebars menu does not currently give any indication as to which of the 15 tools listed on it are visible after any menu item is activated. This hampers the new user in learning as quickly as possible these parts of the interface, such as how the names on that menu correspond to the icons at the tops of the left and right panes, especially as those icons can get a bit lost in the plethora of toolbar icons above and the tool-specific icons below. The menu could indicate the active menu items with ticked check boxes (as is done in the View > Toolbars menu) or highlighted labels.
Lastly, visual confusion can occur when the menu toolbar has been collapsed into the three-line menu icon, because then all the menus are forced into the upper right corner of the overall Komodo IDE window. Consequently, when you go two or more levels deep into the menu system, causing one menu after another to cascade out, it can be difficult to easily see where the top-positioned menu stops and the menus under it begin — and thus which of the menu labels you can choose from. An example menu sequence that illustrates this problem is Project > New From Template.
Admittedly, this is using the default styling, and it is possible that a different color scheme has distinct border coloring that would eliminate or at least greatly reduce this quandary. Alternatively, one can use the conventional menu bar.
On a positive note, the designers and developers of the Komodo IDE interface have clearly put substantial effort into making the interface quite customizable by you, and have also provided ways to maximize the available screen space for viewing source code, by repurposing the traditional title bar, by allowing full modification of the buttons and widgets in the various panes, and by providing a "Focus mode" which frees up even more space by hiding all three panes with a single mouse click and even reducing the height of the toolbar. Users will likely find the interface to be generally comprehensible and, with practice, conducive to productivity.
Komodo IDE offers a full arsenal of features one would expect in a professional-grade IDE. With regards to editing any sort of text, and not just source code, the product supports all of the standard editing functionality: Text can be selected as a stream of characters, as a block of adjacent lines, and as a column (i.e., a rectangle) of characters (illustrated in the screenshot below). There does not appear to be a way to un-select a rectangle of characters inside of a larger selected rectangle of characters (while maintaining the first selection) — like an enclosed subset — as one can with Sublime Text, but I have yet to imagine a realistic use case for such a capability.
If you then begin typing new characters, the resulting string replaces all of the selected characters.
Moreover, with the multiple carets feature, you can insert the same text in many locations that are not necessarily on top of one another (i.e., not forming a horizontal line). Specifically, multiple selections and carets (zero-length selections) can be set, and all subsequent edits and movements are applied to the caret in each selection simultaneously.
When editing source code, you can, with a single command, select the block of code associated with the current line (i.e., the line of text containing the edit cursor at that moment).
A variation on this is to select the delimited block of code, i.e., all of the code within the braces, excluding the code on the top line preceding the opening brace.
As with any editor, text can be cut and copied to the system clipboard and pasted therefrom.
Not only can you jump backward and forward through your editing changes (typically referred to as "undo" and "redo"), but you can also jump backward through earlier cursor positions within open files, referred to within Komodo IDE as the editing history — which at the very least can save you time when you open a file worked on in the past and your edit cursor is automatically positioned where you had last left it, so you can immediately resume your earlier work.
The ability to search for a static string or pattern of characters is crucial for any software development tool, and thus Komodo IDE allows you to search for text in the current file, all open files, or all files located within any given directory structure — and optionally replace some or all of them with new text. You can use regular expressions to find patterns of characters and, for each instance, replace the string with any combination of characters, even dynamically specified substrings of the original text.
It all seems to work well, with the only apparent exception that the "Replace" button not only replaces the currently found instance of the search string, but also then automatically jumps ahead to the next instance of the string, if any, even though you did not request for Komodo IDE to perform another find operation. (Thus the button's label is misleading and should instead read "Replace & Find", as it does in jEdit.) This behavior is alright in the scenario when you know that there is only one instance of the search string — in which case it would not make sense to use the full find/replace dialog, but instead just do a quick find (the Fast Find feature) and then change the text manually. But more often than not, there are multiple instances of the search string within the file or you do not know how many there are. When using a regex pattern, you typically would like to verify that the replacement was done correctly — not in the sense that Komodo IDE might have interpreted the pattern incorrectly, but rather that you may have entered one that does not do exactly what you hope it will (we've all been there!). If the next instance of the search string is more than a full screen of text below the prior one, then the result of the prior replacement is no longer immediately visible, and you may not discover that there was a problem with it. A diligent individual is thereby forced to backtrack to the prior replacement — perhaps by changing the search string (to match the replacement value) and then searching backwards, which adds an extraneous entry to the "Find" field. All of these problems would be avoidable if the dialog had a new button that would perform a replace operation and then stay put, so you can see the replacement before optionally searching for the next instance, or if the dialog displayed a preview of the replacement about to be made, before you hit the "Replace" button.
During an incremental search, as you types characters into the search field, all of those instances that match within the Editor Pane are highlighted.
Source code can be indented and properly formatted automatically as you type or later, and the settings for all of that can be customized. You are notified visually of any syntax errors, and can jump from one to another.
Auto-completion is a handy capability that can save time by automatically popping up a list of possible completions of whatever string of text you are currently typing, based upon the source code language — for instance, object methods in Python and PHP, and submodule names in Perl. Also, when you begin entering parameters to a function or method, Komodo IDE will pop up a reminder (a "calltip") listing the names and datatypes that the function or method is expecting to be passed.
The names of classes and methods can act like hyperlinks to their definitions, which can speed the process of checking their nature before using them. Similarly, any HTTP(S) or FTP URL can be clicked to go straight to that page in the default browser.
You can also collapse a block of indented code under whatever line of code above it has a higher block level (i.e., is less indented) — usually referred to as "code folding". This is useful for getting a better sense of the higher level structure of a program or a portion thereof.
The same sort of purpose is provided by the (optional) "minimap", which is located on the right side of the Editor Pane and can give you a high level view of all the code, with the portion of the code visible within the Editor Pane shaded.
Most programmers would agree that one of their favorite features of any IDE is the ability to step through source code, one line at a time, essentially watching the program in action as it creates variables and objects, sets their values, and produces output. It certainly beats littering one's code with "print" statements! For instance, a PHP coder can execute and debug a script running on the command line or in a web server, either locally or remotely.
Komodo IDE provides full debugging for Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, Node.js, and Chrome (browser) — once you have properly configured the program so it can find and work with the language interpreter for the given source code (instructions for how to do so are found in the online tutorials). Breakpoints and bookmarks can be set and used within the source code. As one would expect, Komodo IDE can present within its own window any web page produced by the code being executed.
Not only can Komodo IDE read — and in turn, debug — files located on remote servers, but it allows you to edit them as well, once you have supplied the needed information for the program to log into a particular web hosting account.
Often referred to as "workplaces" in other IDEs, projects in Komodo IDE allow related files to be organized as a whole. Each project can have individual preferences, such as the top-level directory, file extensions to be ignored, settings for debugging sessions, special editor settings, user environment variables (of the operating system), character encodings, and the date-time format. Initially, there is a prebuilt project associated with the tutorials, containing source code files in various languages, which you can explore and execute, knowing that they are confirmed to work within Komodo IDE.
New files can be created based on pre-defined templates that contain default content according to the particular file types. Komodo IDE boasts several other file-related capabilities. For instance, it has built-in support for color-coded file differencing, which includes the ability to easily jump forward and backward from one difference to another. This can be especially helpful when comparing source code that has been forked into two or more different versions that are largely the same but contain critical changes among them. This IDE integrates with source code control (SCC) repositories for CVS, Git, and others.
Most if not all of the functionality provided within Komodo IDE can be accomplished either by choosing menu items or entering their corresponding command shortcuts on the keyboard. The assignment of the key sequences to their corresponding commands is often referred to as "key bindings", and they are fully customizable by you. This can be especially helpful if you have already memorized a set of keystrokes that were learned when using a different editor or IDE in the past. For programmers working in a Windows environment, there is no need to fear that any custom key binding preferences are saved in the Registry and thus will be nearly impossible to back up and later restore if needed or to quickly customize a new installation of Komodo IDE. The product saves all preferences in a text file.
The features mentioned above encompass only a small subset of the multitude offered by Komodo IDE and discussed in their documentation, yet at least these are most of the critical ones which the majority of programmers would consider a bare minimum for any IDE worthy enough to invest time in trying out and perhaps even more time in mastering.
Just as with learning a computer language (or any human language, for that matter), thoroughly learning a sophisticated code editor or IDE is best accomplished through practice — and the greater the immersion, the better. However, reading instructional materials and working through integrated exercises can be quite helpful as well. In the case of Komodo IDE, those materials comprise an online manual, some tutorials, and conversations within a forum.
The online manual is divided into three major sections: "General Use", "Base Editor", and "Advanced Topics". Not only does the website provide the usual search capability, but in the left pane, which contains a table of contents, a "Quick filter" field automatically hides the links whose titles do not contain whatever text is typed into that field — thereby allowing you to quickly focus on those subsections that match your interest.
The first section provides information on general usage of the product. It explains how to install and launch Komodo IDE on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms — using the GUI installer or the command line. It contains an overview of the elements that compose the editor's workspace (menus, toolbars, widgets, panes, sidebars, and tabs), as well as limited information about the included sample project files. The subsection dedicated to tutorials primarily focuses on how you can create or modify your own tutorial, using YAML markup.
The basic editor functionality is explicated in the second section, and covers a wide range of topics: hyperlinks (to three types of strings in the code), user preferences (typically referred to as "settings"), key bindings (typically referred to as "shortcuts"), projects, file manipulation, finding and replacing text, the Places panel, the Open Files pane, the Commando (the universal search field mentioned above), abbreviations, userscripts (typically referred to as "macros"), snippets, URL shortcuts, tab stops, templates, custom toolbars and menus, code intelligence, refactoring, and more.
The third section explores advanced subjects, including collaboration with other developers through Komodo IDE, publishing code, the Database Explorer, code profiling, the debugger, build tools, and many others.
The main problem with the online documentation is that much of it appears to be out of date or, in a few places, unfinished (at least, as of this writing). There are features mentioned that have since been removed or transformed significantly. For many of the commands and their corresponding elements on the screen, the description of where to find that particular menu item or the appearance of its toolbar icons, do not match what one sees in the program. For example, in the case of the Project sidebar, a menu item mentioned in the manual (View > Tabs & Sidebars > Places) is missing. Most glaringly, the entire "Database Explorer Sidebar" section consists only of the text "The Database Explorer shows…" — and that's it! The Status Bar, which is supposedly beneath the Bottom Pane, is not to be found as described and pictured. Moreover, on many of the tutorial pages, some or all of the embedded images are missing or look nothing like the current ones in the software.
As noted earlier, the installation comes with a sample project, comprising several programs in Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl. These are a convenient way to quickly try some of the functionality for viewing and testing code.
There appears to be two sets of tutorials: One set, noted above and accessed by Help > Tutorials, consists of links to eight sections of the online manual, mostly devoted to programming languages supported by Komodo IDE. Another set, found within the right pane in the "Tutorials" section of the Toolbox tool, is built into the Komodo software and thus can be perused even when you may not have Internet access (perish the thought!). This second set includes the "Getting Started" tutorial, which is the one that, by default, begins immediately after launching Komodo IDE for the first time.
ActiveState maintains some online forums, containing several hundred posts so far, organized into eight categories: Announcements, Discussions, Feature Ideas, Customization, How To, Tutorials, Support, and Report a Bug. That last one is simply a link to the GitHub page where users can report issues. By far the two most active categories are Support, where people can get help with specific problems they are encountering, and How To, where people can learn how to use features within Komodo IDE. Another source of support is the Mozilla IRC channel #komodo, which is active from 9 am to 6 pm, Pacific Time. In my (limited) experience, the ActiveState developers are responsive to new issues and feature requests when they are submitted.
Aside from some visual oddities and rather rusty online documentation, Komodo IDE is a powerful, attractive, and well-supported platform for editing and debugging source code in all the major open-source computer languages and on all the popular operating platforms.
If you are a computer programmer or a website or app developer, and you are not entirely delighted with your current toolset, then you definitely should take a close look at Komodo IDE, which combines all of the editing capabilities one takes for granted, excellent code and debugging tools, and a range of other features that could make it the ideal replacement for whatever tool you are currently using. | 2019-04-20T17:03:50 | https://www.ross.ws/?_writing/articles/Komodo%20IDE%2010%20Review |
Scientists are working on developing Black Mirror-styled AI tech that can decode your brain signals.
All secrets are safe within your head, right? Well, that is not the case anymore! It’s been some time since the scientists have started looking into mind reading. And it’s safe to say that they have made a considerable amount of progress in this field.
The scientists are using mapping techniques to extract data from the brain and to convert them into useful information. If you are thinking how close this is to some episodes of Black Mirror, then you are safe to assume that the technology is progressing on the same path.
Soon, this technology will evolve in a way that the scientists could reach out to your memories and play them like a movie.
Let’s look at the areas where technology is making progress in a way that we could have only imagined!
Machine learning is the future, and it is here to make changes in the way we do things and how we do it. But turns out it can do far greater things than that.
The progress in helping human beings through machine learning comes in the form of reverse engineering the technology. Through machine learning, we can help people with behavioral disorders by letting the machine understand what they are thinking and responding in an appropriate way.
It was found out that the brain likes to associate words in a language using specific colors and dimensions. This discovery was made by a neurologist named Alexander Huth and a team of researchers.
This project was funded by National Science Foundation. The experiments conducted with the help of a fMRI machine showed that specific parts of the brain light up with language processing.
This study was invaluable because, with this technology, new methods can be developed through which patients who can’t talk can be helped.
It was the research group led by Alan S. Cowen who first discovered that face data could be reconstructed from a person’s mind after carefully monitoring brain activity through a series of tests. The study was done in 2014, and the data could point us in the direction of how autistic children respond to faces.
Did you know that in future, you might not have to worry about forgetting a dream that you had? The preliminary version of this technology was tested back in 2013, and it showed great results.
The experiment was done in Japan when scientists decided to decode dreams using an MRI scanner. The result was a process that returned 60% accuracy in reading dreams.
Of course, we will see more about this technology in the near future.
MMT or millennium magnetic technologies found that the thoughts can be read by using fMRI scanners. This was done by carefully monitoring brain activity and where the activity happens inside the brain.
It could even differentiate been faces, object, truth, and lie, etc.
Is The Future Really Bright?
Let’s not get to the conclusion where others could actually use devices to read your minds, because that is illegal and violates several human rights. Moreover, the current scenario requires a lot of funds and repetitive tests to return a positive result. | 2019-04-25T15:50:19 | https://interestingengineering.com/ai-powered-mind-reading-tech-could-soon-read-your-mind |

Meet Lenny. Lenny is a very sweet 15 month old dog. He is a well rounded dog who is friendly to all people and dogs he has met. Lenny is also a very smart boy. Lenny loves playtime and loves for you to throw him a tennis ball out in the yard. He will bring it back to you most of the time if he does not get distracted. Lenny also loves to eat and adores treats! He will happily sit on command for his “cookies”. (all treats are known as “cookies” to him). He also loves the sweetness of bananas and takes small pieces ever so gently from your hand as he does all treats. Lenny also loves affection and being loved on. He loves to rest near you and snuggle up and tries to share his foster mom’s pillow by resting his head on it too. Lenny and his brother, Mickey (see our website) were saved from the City Shelter when they were both very young pups sick with a respiratory infection & were very malnourished. It is very difficult for a young puppy to survive in a public shelter due to their young and immature immune system, as well as the stressors of shelter life. Lenny is now a very healthy, full grown, beautiful pup. He has a very shiny black coat with beautiful white markings. Lenny enjoys his playtime with you and/or other dogs but also enjoys hopping up on the bed and taking a peaceful nap besides you. Lenny will sleep all night with you or in a kennel. Lenny and his brother, Mickey have always been together. They have played, ate, and slept together on a daily basis. In comparison to his brother, Mickey, Lenny is the most forward & independent of the two. In a perfect scenario, they would also be adopted together. However, we know that for most people, adopting two pups at one time may be too much to handle. We would consider an experienced adopter if interested in both. They are still young and feel if in the right home surrounded by love and attention, will still do very well if they must be apart. They do occupy each other and they love one another’s company, so they are never bored. They play wonderful together. We will take all applications into careful consideration. Lenny enjoys chest and belly rubs, adores treats, toys, rooting around the yard, playing fetch, playtime and other dogs. He is currently 66 pounds and is 15 months old and full grown. Lenny is one who dislikes visiting the Vet and/or nail trims, so will need someone who will not mind giving the extra attention needed to assure Lenny when these times are necessary. (he is very frightened) For the latest video of Lenny and Mickey see our Adoptables page. The very first step is completing an application prior to a meet and greet. Please see our Adopt and About tabs on our website to learn about our Adoption process. You will not be contacted until we receive an application. Please take time to read our About us section. Note: Vet reference and ID must match. | 2019-04-23T14:49:40 | https://adoptstardogs.org/contact/ |
I've gotten several questions about my schedule during my High/Low training, and to those I've answered, "I'll be posting it soon," and then I never posted it. I promise I wasn't trying to throw you off the trail so that I was the only one reaping benefits. Or maybe I was. You'll never know.
Before I divulge my top secret schedule, let's talk a little about how I created it.
First off, my time is limited, as is much of yours. There are certain days that I have available to train, and other days that I don't. Like you, I have to work within that framework.
High Intensity days require at least 48 hours between workouts. Period.
Low Intensity days can (and should) be used as a recovery day.
Low Intensity days don't have to be climbing; they can include massage therapy, yoga, stretching, etc..
Now, what exactly happens in each session? That depends. Seeing as how I know you're sick of hearing me say that, I'll elaborate a little.
Focus is on forearm hypertrophy as well as strengthening the core, upper arms, shoulders, and back.
Warm up by bouldering, finishing with a few difficult repeats 2-3 V grades below maximum.
60-90 minutes max bouldering (1-3 move sequences) or system board (1-3 move sequences). Focus is on static movement, lock-offs, pulling in underclings, etc.. Lots of rest between attempts.
Focus is on explosive movement and muscle recruitment.
45-60 minutes recruitment bouldering (3-5 move sequences) or same on the system board. Focus is on big, powerful movement. Deadpoints. I try to avoid jumping too much, instead opting for big moves that require tension to hold. Lots of rest between attempts.
Hangboard. Eva Lopez Transgression board. Minimum Edge hangs.
Campus. 1-2 days a week only. Approximately 1 hour campus workout that focuses on big movements and plyometrics, rather than the popular long lock-off moves. This is another area I've promised to write more about, and haven't. I will this time around, I swear.
SST. Only on days when not campusing. Same as above, with less weight, higher reps, and more ballistic movement.
Climbing: Once a week I do a Low Intensity climbing day. This day is one I've learned to really appreciate and look forward to. I separate our free standing boulder into four sections. In each section, I do all of the V0-V1 problems, then all of the V2 problems, then all of the V3-V4 problems, and any of the V5-V7 problems that I have dialed in. I do all of the problems in a section without rest, though I'm also not in a hurry. I just keep a steady pace, and if I start to get more than a slight pump, I shut it down. After that section, I rest five minutes and continue. This workout usually takes about an hour or so, and I'm done.
What I feel is the key to these days is that I focus in on the techniques it takes to be efficient on a route. Breathing steady and staying relaxed is number one. After that I'm looking at movements that I don't often do while training strength and power, such as drop knees, being more exaggerated with my hips, and climbing as straight armed as possible. I also work hard to pay close attention to foot and hand placements, rather than rushing through problems I could easily monkey through. I work on changing up my natural pace - sometimes climbing more static, and sometimes climbing with more momentum - but always with precision.
When I walk away from a good Low Intensity session, I feel invigorated instead of worked. I've found that my recovery is sped up considerably by an effective Low day.
Massage: At least once a week (often times more) I spend about an hour on the foam roller, with the Theracane, and using a Roleo Arm Massager. Once I month I get a deep tissue sports massage.
If I had more free time, I'd try Yoga or climbing specific mobility drills, particularly related to hip flexibility. I'm fairly flexible where I need to be for climbing, so this isn't a high priority for me, (though I have started to do a little more stretching for hip turnout, as I've noticed a slight decline in my natural flexibility - probably a product of both age and climbing steeper rock). I also don't buy into the idea that flexibility helps prevent injury, so that's another strike against using up my valuable time for stretching. However, if you aren't trying to get overly flexible, it can't hurt, so if you're looking for something to do in your free hour every few days, stretch!
Now for the caveat. If on a Thursday I don't feel recovered, I'll skip it and try to fit my High day in on Friday. This is difficult on a tight schedule, but occasionally I've made it work. Luckily, it hasn't been often that I've needed to. So this schedule isn't set in stone, and should be changed depending on how honestly prepared you feel that day. It's your body. Listen to it. | 2019-04-22T23:56:13 | http://www.powercompanyclimbing.com/blog/2014/02/highlow-scheduling.html |

About a year ago I almost bought one of those hilarious bumper stickers that say “Save the Ta-Tas”. I thought it’d look great slapped across the back of my minivan, right next to the CTR sticker. I didn’t buy it, not because I’m not all about saving Ta-Tas (because, believe me, I’m very fond of my own) but because I knew that the Susan G. Komen Foundation passed along funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s, even the world’s, largest abortion peddler.
But guess what’s being slapped across my bumper as soon as possible? Yup. Save the Ta-Tas. Because yesterday the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the leading charity for breast cancer research, announced that they will no longer partner with Planned Parenthood.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision comes after years of the Foundation affiliates providing financial support to Planned Parenthood. However, in the light of federal investigations of Planned Parenthood and a vigorous new Vice President, Komen has pulled funding.
If there were ever a time for people of all backgrounds to pull together in the cause of life, the time is now.
We respect and applaud the integrity of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We offer a standing ovation to the courage and the sacrifice to reach such a phenomenal decision. The cause of Life thanks you.
At this very moment, the Susan G. Komen Foundation is receiving thousands of angry emails from Pro-Abortionists mocking the decision to defund Planned Parenthood. They are receiving threats and hate filled messages. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is taking a heavy blow, but let’s show them that they do not have to stand alone.
Please take a stand with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. They have acted with bravery. It is time for each of us to do the same.
What I am asking each and every one of my readers is a single email to news@komen.org thanking the Susan G. Komen Foundation for their courageous step in the cause of Life. It’ll take one minute, one sentence, to show our support for this courage amidst the turmoil. It’ll take a single moment to let them know that they do not stand alone and they have gained an entire army of supporters proud to email and proud to paste Save the Ta-Ta’s to the back of their minivans.
Take a minute and send an email right now!
I am a BC survivor of 43 years, having radical surgery when I was 26 years old. Because of my young age and potential reoccurance, I was admonished to refrain from having more children. (I had two little girls age 4 yr and 20 months.) As difficult as the cancer experience was, this admonishment was even more devastating to me. As the years went by we adopted two baby boys five years apart. When our youngest little boy was 3 and I was 11 years post-op., I was blessed to give birth to a baby girl, rounding out our family to 5 beautiful children; ages new born to 15 years. Now nearly 32 years later, I continue to stand in awe of the gift of life, not only my own, but that of our wonderful children.
I am grateful that the esteemed Susan G. Komen Foundation, whice I have supported for years, has enhanced their honor by taking this stance against abortion. I daily give gratitude to the mothers who chose to offer their babies to a home and life that they were unabe to provide. I’m grateful for the privilege of bearing a child, post cancer and the support I received from my doctors.
Thank you Susan G. Komen Foundation for taking such a courageous and honrable stand.
My email to Susan G. Komen will state I will never donate to them again. I stand for Planned Parenthood and all the good work they do, to include STD testing. You can’t save my Ta-Ta’s but take over my uterus!
I would like to thank you for your brave stand against Planned Parenthood on this issue.
Thank you for your article. Immediately after reading it, I sent an email of thanks to the Komen foundation. Finally I can feel good about supporting the Komen cause knowing that they are no longer funding Planned Parenthood. | 2019-04-20T12:17:43 | https://unitedfamilies.org/abortion/susan-g-komen-foundation-no-more-funds-for-planned-parenthood/ |

In addition to our ranges of standard epoxy probe cards and those for extreme temperatures, low leakage and high voltage, we design bespoke probe cards to suit your more specific probing requirements.
With established probe card manufacturing facilities in the UK and the US, we can build both epoxy and blade probe cards to suit any wafer probing challenge.
Our comprehensive library of master templates and our ability to create interfaces, ensures that our probe card PCBs can be used with all major tester platforms. At the same time, our advanced in-house design modelling software speeds up the custom design process and enables us to achieve quick turn-around times.
Our experienced probe card designers can design and build complete probe cards for you, however, we also offer the option for you to provide your own PCB if preferred.
Using your own PCB when building probe cards enables us to integrate your electronics designs so you maintain full control of the test. Another reason, customers often choose this route is because it can produce more accurate readings as test components can be positioned closer to the device under test (DUT). Reducing the use of longer cables and connections can significantly reduce the noise, and therefore increase the overall accuracy of test results.
Furthermore, it allows for components to be positioned closer to the probe, which allows better circuit optimization. | 2019-04-20T10:55:10 | https://www.wentworthlabs.com/custom-probe-cards/ |

The great age of Spain did not end in Paris last night (Monday). It ended two years ago in Brazil, but perhaps we only realised it now. Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, David Silva: these are names that no longer hold any fear, at least in the international game. Once they ruled the world, but for the second consecutive tournament they were swept aside by teams who looked sharper, smarter, somehow newer.
Here Antonio Conte’s magnificent Italy side looked like the -future. Spain looked like the past: a gilded and garlanded past, but a past all the same.
Four years ago, Spain demolished Italy 4-0 in one of the most ruthlessly one-sided finals of the modern age. It was the high watermark of one of the all-time great international teams, but time has both spread and ossified the Spanish school of passing football. The same conventional style, the same predictable moment, the same metronomic tempo. Teams have had eight years to work it out, and Italy -certainly have. They defended ruthlessly, they attacked intelligently and they chased with passion and aggression.
Revolution, not evolution, is what Spain require now. In hindsight, the decision to keep coach Vicente del Bosque after a disastrous World Cup in Brazil increasingly looks like a blunder. Wedded to an outdated style of play and the players who once made it work, he will surely not survive this tournament, even if he refused to be drawn on his future after this match.
That one could certainly be Italy. Their quarter-final with Germany in Bordeaux on Saturday brings -together the two outstanding sides of this tournament. And although Germany will again start as favourites, you can bet Conte – the finest manager in this tournament, and certainly the most meticulous – will have a plan for them.
Against Spain it was simple in theory but sublime in the execution: tackle hard, play the ball quickly out of defence, getting men into unpredictable positions from unpredictable angles. Nobody exemplified this better than Emanuele Giaccherini, who was part conventional screener, part roaming winger, part auxiliary forward, a midfielder without portfolio. It took Spain the best part of an hour to work out what he was doing.
At the back, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon came into his own in the -final quarter, making a clutch of -important saves. Italy’s formidable back three of Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini simply devoured Alvaro Morata. Impeccably drilled and full of energy, Italy stretched the pitch in -attack and contracted it in defence, like a lung inhaling and exhaling. It was marvellous, and in its immaculate spacing and asymmetrical perfection, there was a certain beauty to it as well.
The mental approach, too, was spot on. Unnerved by Italy’s physicality, their surreptitious angles and concussive challenges, Spain were drawn into a scrap that did not suit them. Iniesta and Fabregas were sketchy and imprecise, while the back four looked strangely fey, vulnerable almost every time Italy advanced. Only the formidable David de Gea kept them in the game.
But De Gea was arguably also at fault for Italy’s goal, which began with a nothing foul from Ramos on the edge of the area. The wall might have done a better job, but so might De Gea, who fumbled the low shot, brought down Giaccherini as he reached the rebound, and was nowhere as Giorgio Chiellini pounced on the loose ball and smashed it into the net far harder than he needed to.
Spain eventually wrestled control of the ball but were never able to wrestle control of the match, although Morata and Pique missed good chances in the second half as Spain finally located their bite.
Meanwhile, Italy never stopped creating. Graziano Pelle, Emanuele Giaccherini and Eder might all have widened the margin of victory. The paucity of Spain’s options was -evident from their substitutions: the familiar Pedro, the 35-year-old veteran Aritz Aduriz and Lucas Vazquez, who has played only sporadically for Real Madrid this season.
None was able to influence the game, and in the first minute of -injury time, Italy finally drew the curtains. With verve and purpose, Italy spread the ball from right to left, then left to right. Substitute Matteo Darmian played the ball through, and Pelle jabbed the ball past De Gea.
Italy’s bench flooded the pitch, and in that moment one of the great teams in football history was consigned to the past. Spain is a name that no longer holds any fear, and that perhaps is the greatest sadness of all. All great sides pass into legend, but few quite so definitely as this. “There’s no tomorrow for Spain, there is for us,” said Conte. Time will tell how prophetic those words will prove. | 2019-04-26T03:50:52 | https://newsjumbo.com/italian-masterclass-signals-end-of-spains-golden-era/ |
George Latimer's election as Westchester County executive has opened up a state Senate seat that is now attracting national attention.
A special election to fill two vacant Senate seats, including Latimer's, is expected to be held on April 24.
According to this article in The New York Times, the Rye Democrat's 37th District seat "could hold the key to Democrats scoring a government trifecta in Albany, an alignment in which one party controls the governorship, as well as both houses of the Legislature.
Latimer easily defeated two-term Republican incumbent Rob Astorino of Hawthorne in Novermber, by a 57 to 43 percent margin attributed in part to opposition to President Trump.
Latimer’s former Senate seat is up for grabs, and the special election — as yet unscheduled — to replace him has once again assumed heightened implications.
While the Assembly has an overwhelming Democratic majority, the Senate is controlled by Republicans.
Democrats are likely to hold onto the Senate seat vacated by Ruben Diaz Sr., who was elected to the New York City Council.
But Latimer's seat is less certain, accoding to The Times.
In 2012, Senate Republicans redrew the district map. | 2019-04-20T14:24:37 | https://dailyvoice.com/new-york/whiteplains/politics/latimer-seat-in-westchester-seen-as-key-to-democratic-unity/732094/ |

ogra:anything in particular i should look gor with alternate cd??
Hello all. Is anyone out there using the load balancing with Gutsy? I'm especially interested if anyone has implemented the querying of ldminfod for the server rating, and if so, would you be willing to share the process and code you have for making it work. Thanks!
Hi. I manage to install and run ltsp on ubuntu. Everything works fine. I boot up on client and log in, but I need to run some graphical applications (gvim for example) as different user. So I "su - shamot" in terminal, then "export DISPLAY=localhost:13.0" and then "gvim" but all I get is: X connection to localhost:13.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Any suggestions, please?
How do I add applications to LTSP 5 installed on a Debian machine? Specially the KDE environment.
on server processes, there is no more processes from that user... if I ping that IP, I have reply..
i thought that could be a bad client RAM.. but.. there is about no use of clients RAM, right?
any idea on what is going on?! or.. is there anything else I can do to find out?
akSeya, how much memory in client?
can you go to 128?
i'll put 128Mb ram, then boot with a live CD and let it doing something..
you just dont have enough!
can the ubuntu ltsp packages "co-exist" somehow with an existing dhcp server?
ogra: got any pointer to some documentation maybe?
ogra:anything special i need to loook for in alternate cd install..so far has "just worked"
is there any up-to-date documentation for installing ltsp on a ubuntu gutsy?
ogra: if i want to keep my existing dhcp server, how would i go about this?
ogra: ok. then i have to install all the services like tftp and so on manually?
ogra: ok, nice. where can i read how i need to configure the dhcp?
it didnt work till I change the file?
tftpd-hpa defaults to switch on the inetd setup, i wonder why it didnt for you, are you sure there is no line for it in your inetd.conf ?
everything goes fine till I get the message "alsa-utils.c device doesnt support 44000Hz changed to 44099Hz [OK] "
aha, ogra you are http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ arent you?
Hi all. Does anyone have a collection of cybercafe management tools for a thin client cyber cafe? Or suggestions for what works well in that direction?
savetheWorld: Error: "kiosk" is not a valid command.
savetheWorld: Error: "herlp" is not a valid command.
savetheWorld: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin.
i installed tftp-server on ubuntu and configured my dhcp server -- how do i need to go about configuring tftp? any pointers?
mfc_alpha: if you install ltsp-server package, tftpd-hpa should be configured properly.
moldy: is an inetd running?
if your problem is coming from NFS, then you must be well past tftp problems.
moldy: which linux distro and release?
if the kernel is getting transferred, then tftp is working. period.
moldy: are you and mfc_alpha the same person or not?
mfc_alpha: what linux distro? what release?
I seems to come from NFS isn't it?
moldy, mfc_alpha: is this a clean install for both of you, or an upgrade?
vagrantc: you mean that something give the filesystem to the client and this thing is not NFS?
but ... how can i help if you take off?
moldy: ok, so did you make any progress? still need a hand?
most unusual that it didn't automatically configure inetd to use it.
i'm almost certain the default behavior is to use inetd. so what was different or unusual about your configuration, i don't know.
vagrantc: anyway... what does the client auth against, by default?
vagrantc: but on the terminal client, i get "Login incorrect"
moldy: have you configured lts.conf at all?
moldy: has the server changed ip addresses since you built the ltsp environment?
vagrantc: can i somehow get at any debugging output client-side?
vagrantc: /var/log/ldm.log on the client?
vagrantc: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf <- do i need to set the SCREEN_NN stuff there?
vagrantc: do i need to do anything for the changes to take effect except reboot the client?
moldy: shouldn't need to, no.
moldy: presuming ubuntu isn't using tty2, that looks good to me.
vagrantc: i thought that config should get me a tty on tty2?
let's just see if it's reading the lts.conf at all.
oh, this started out as a dapper box?
did you first upgrade to edgy, feisty, and then gutsy?
moldy: any luck on getting a shell on tty7?
vagrantc: do you think my current problems could be related to the fact that i skipped edgy?
vagrantc: right now my test thin client is on the same subnet as all my usual clients, could this be a problem?
vagrantc: then i get, in the server log: pam_env(ssh:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory.
on the client, i am thrown back to the login prompt.
otavio: so 1 would be the next package to build ... ?
otavio: do we loose our place in the queue with a new upload?
vagrantc: do i need to have a gui installed on the server for the client to be able to login?
otavio: you think it's ok to make ltsp, ldm and ltspfs i386/amd64/powerpc only ?
otavio: well, i'm not really able to test most architectures... but i've fought and fought with sparc.
on the terminal client, should i be able to login to the text login on tty1, or is it normal that this does not work?
otavio: the network booting code only supports i386, powerpc, and sparc, with untested code for alpha.
on the terminal server, there must be an X process running, right?
otavio: but sparc definitely doesn't work... the network boot part in ltsp works, but there's bugs in klibc-utils that cause it to fail in the initramfs.
moldy: oh ... you didn't have a window manager installed?
vagrantc: sick? are you doing well?
vagrantc: oh my! and are you feeling better now?
otavio: yeah ... you're busy with debian-installer stuff mostly?
vagrantc: but you're better now?
HI, im using tcpwrappers on portmap i have set inside hosts.deny ALL:ALL and im using inside hosts.allow portmap: 192.168.9.0/255.255.255.0 which is my network, but im unable to use nfs, would you tell me what im doing wrong?
you need more than jus portmap..need nfs itself?
hello. I have been trying for two days to configure the dhcp failover in edubuntu for ltsp and when ever i put in the failover parameters into the dhcp.conf in /etc/ltsp my clients cant boot. If I comment it out, then no problem. Can some one help or has run into this before?
and btw...for now i am just dealing with the master. I have NOT configured a slave. Does that make a difference?
Who's got Koolu thin clients?
I can't get them to boot via Gutsy LTSP. According to http://forum.koolu.org/viewtopic.php?t=2 Gutsy should "just work"... I'm getting a signal 11 from Xorg when it tries to launch X. Any ideas?
vagrantc, what happens with LDM_THEME unset ? is it backwards compatible and uses the "default" link as all former releases ? so upgrades dont fall apart ?
well, i'm way before "make install"
vagrantc: Is that change in trunk?
vagrantc, where did the screen.d script for ldm go ?
ogra: you calling --libexecdir in debian/rules ?
otavio: so does a package priority (required, important, standard, optional, extra) effect where in the buildd's queue a package ends up?
inst that defaulting to /usr/lib anyway ?
why would it do that ?
why doest it use the system default for libexecdir ?
at any rate, the code is in a much better state to put it whatever crazy place your distro thinks it belongs.
20:31 * vagrantc suspects there is no sane global default.
ogra: you're not sleeping tonight, are you?
ogra, "i'm slowly starting to get unhappy with the attitude that there is no other linux than fedora"
ogra, we often believe that there is this kind of attitude from Ubuntu.
ogra, us being angry at each other is not productive.
vagrantc, libexecdir is defined as a GNU standard, Debian doesn't have it?
ogra, and isn't it a case that you weren't even using the make install scripts at all before?
vagrantc, yes but it isn't even defined to somewhere else? It is a standard GNU directory no?
warren: heck if i know what's standard, i just got it all working and don't mind so much.
vagrantc, hmm. do you have any code creating the rc.d dir in your packaging ?
hello. I had issues with edubuntu and getting failover to work. I jumped over to k12ltsp and im looking to get ltsp working with dhcp failover/load balance. I specifically had issues with the failover component not working with eth0 and it complained of such in logs. Can anyone give insight into whether the k12ltsp distro is good for school envs?
orga: yes..i posted there too.the issue is Im under tremendous pressure to get this env up, as windows viruses have plagued the darn environment. It is a big school, so I need a proof of concept ready to go.
orga: 6.0 just was released..which is what i have. i suppose an rpm -qa should tell me which version of ltsp comes with that.
what's the point of using glib?
RyanRyan52: it looks like some of the changes are also pertaining to the guest button code?
RyanRyan52: is the code tested?
ogra: while Im at it..i know your busy...but installing edubuntu on standalone mode produced some issues with dhcp and binding to eth0. Is that typical?
vagrantc, did we talk about moving ldminfod to ldm itself yet?
21:22 * warren can't remember.
achandrashekar_, what do you mean by "standalone mode" ?
vagrantc, we don't have to do it now, but I hope we can do it soon.
The GNOME guys are interested in gdm integration possibilities after F9.
ogra, the media would be confused, what to cover?
ogra: what the "sleep(5);" in the no re-ask the password thingy?
ogra: wouldn't we want to to sleep after the message was displayed?
it for the user, so she actually sees the "password failed"
ogra: have you tested the single password attempt patch you posted?
ogra: any objection to having the greeter not display the date ?
could pass it through ldminfod ... but which server gets priority if you have multiple servers defined?
more for me to do!
why would you set anything in lts.conf ?
besides, we probably don't have to handle anything differently in our code. | 2019-04-26T10:38:32 | http://irclogs.ltsp.org/?d=2008-02-12 |

Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the notorious drug lord known as El Chapo who twice slipped out of high-security Mexican prisons and into criminal legend, was extradited to the United States on Thursday night, officials said, drawing to a close a decades-long quest to prosecute the head of one of the world’s largest narcotics organizations. A federal court in Mexico denied an appeal by Mr. Guzmán’s lawyers to block the extradition, clearing the way for his transfer to the American authorities in New York, where he faces numerous charges for his role as the chieftain of the Sinaloa cartel. Mr. Guzmán was put on a plane on Thursday in Ciudad Juárez, near the border with Texas, and was set to arrive in the United States as President Obama leaves office.
The decision to extradite Mr. Guzmán was an about-face for the Mexican government, which once claimed that he would serve his long sentence in Mexico first. However, after his Houdini-like escape in 2015, when his associates tunneled him out of Mexico’s most secure prison, officials began to reconsider. When he was recaptured early last year, after one of Mexico’s most exhaustive manhunts, the government publicly said it would allow the extradition of Mr. Guzmán, thus relieving itself of the potential embarrassment of another escape and preventing further souring of its relationship with the United States.

Few basic amenities are as appreciated as consistent hot water. If your hot water heater is too small or broken, you understand how uncomfortable showering, washing dishes and other tasks can be with cold water. While all water heaters may look similar, there are a surprising number of options available. Whether you need to replace a broken water heater or are looking for an upgrade, consider an HTP water heater.
This guide will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about your next water heater. There are a large variety of water heaters available from HTP, so this guide will give you a broad range of options. Then, we’ll look specifically at one highly rated electric water heater. You’ll also see a helpful comparison with other, highly-rated water heaters. With an HTP water heater, you’ll appreciate consistent, inexpensive hot water throughout your entire home.
HTP is a highly rated company that provides water heaters and space heaters for commercial and residential use. They offer an incredibly diverse product range. You might be more familiar with Phoenix or Everlast water heaters. These lines are their most popular water heaters and provide nearly every type of gas or electric water heaters you could need for your home or business. Everlast water heaters are particularly well-rated and popular, so this guide will give you all the information you need to consider the Everlast 40-gallon water heater.
There are plenty of options for water heaters. These workhorses all look deceptively similar, but you have a few major considerations to make before choosing the right water heater for your home. When you determine the design, heat source and capacity, you’ll be on your way to choosing the best brand to meet your needs. Take a look at each of these sections before reviewing the Everlast water heater.
While most homes use a storage tank water heater, there are other convenient options to explore. Storage tank heaters keep a large amount of water hot, so you can have plenty of water for showers, washing clothes and any other household needs. They store the water in an insulated tank, which uses one or two heating elements or rods to keep the water at your desired temperature. This is the most common home unit, but you can also try a tankless water heater.
Also called on-demand water heaters, these energy-efficient units don’t store any water but heat the water on demand. This allows you to save on energy since you won’t be keeping water hot until you use it. However, these water heaters may not be appropriate for a large household. If you use more than one appliance at a time, a tankless water heater won’t be able to meet your demand.
There are other, highly specialized models available, like solar-powered water heaters or hybrid heat pump water heaters. Hybrid models draw in hot air from the room in order to help save on electricity costs. With the right model and room temperature, you can save up to 60 percent on your overall energy cost. In general, however, most homes will use a storage tank water heater, or a tankless heater if it is a particularly small household.
There are three popular ways to heat your water. Choose between electric, propane or natural gas, depending on what’s available at your house. Natural gas is the most cost-effective in terms of your heating bill, but it’s usually the most expensive water heater. Not all homes have natural gas available, so this may not be an option for you. If you have propane, this is another great way to heat your water while saving on your electricity bill. However, depending on your area, propane can also be quite expensive. Electric water heaters are the least expensive to purchase and install. Consider how much you will be using your water heater and what size you’ve chosen, because an electric water bill can add a significant amount to your electric bill. Some homeowners use solar power or other means of generating electricity, which can save on your energy bill.
If you choose an electric water heater, you can purchase either a 4500-watt or 5500-watt water heater. Typical residential electric water heaters use 4500 watts. Depending on the model, you can expect roughly 18 to 25 gallons-per-minute of hot water with a 4500-watt water heater. A 5500-watt heater, on the other hand, can heat up to 23 to 35 gallons-per-minute. If you have a large family and need to take multiple showers in the morning, a 5500-watt heater can be a great way to keep up a steady amount of hot water. However, 5500-watt heaters are more expensive and have a higher electric bill.
All storage tank water heaters are advertised based on the size of their tank. Most water heaters fall between 30 and 50 gallons, but you can purchase tanks as small as 5 gallons or as large as 80 gallons. While this is an important factor to consider, the most important number to use as a comparison is the first-hour rate or FHR. The FHR tells you how much hot water you’ll receive in the first hour. Not only does this take the size of the tank into consideration, it also factors in how quickly your water heater can heat more water. A smaller tank that heats efficiently may give you more continuous hot water than a larger, less efficient water heater.
Most water heaters will advertise other convenient features. Some have a digital display, which allows you to monitor and control the temperature easily. Others have the ability to connect to your smart device and allow you to wirelessly change the temperature settings. It’s great if you are away on a vacation and need to reduce the temperature while you are gone. Consider the warranty, insulation and other features as well when determining the best water heater for your home.
The HTP Everlast 40-gallon, 4500-watt water heater is an excellent example of some of the excellent features HTP offers with all its water heaters. This sturdy water heater has plenty of foam insulation and is backed by an impressive limited lifetime warranty. This is the smallest Everlast water heater available, but still offers plenty of hot water for most households. If you need higher wattage or a larger tank, Everlast offers 52-gallon tanks and 5500-watt options for both tank sizes. The stainless-steel elements are resistant to corrosion, and the stainless-steel holding tank offers a considerably lighter design. However, this model doesn’t offer a digital thermostat or control panel, so it isn’t very convenient to adjust the temperature. While it’s lightweight, the tall design may not fit easily in smaller spaces. It won’t fit in your crawlspace or small cabinet like a shorter model would. This Everlast water heater is an excellent option for most households and provides a very high FHR.
There is a wide range of water heaters available, and the price can vary quite dramatically. For electric water heaters, you can pay as little as $300 or as much as $2,000. This list offers mid-range and budget-friendly models, from $348.00 to $1,299.00. The largest difference between each water heater is the warranty. Another factor to consider is the FHR. Choose the water heater that best matches your budget and hot water use. Keep in mind that more expensive water heaters may be more energy efficient, so you’ll save more after years of use.
This premium water heater is slightly more expensive and comes with a wide range of additional features. It uses a hybrid heat pump, which allows it to use as much as 60 percent less energy. The digital controls are easy-to-use and offer several operating modes for different uses. It has a larger storage capacity and recovers 20.7 gallons in the first hour. While it costs more, you’ll quickly save this amount with the impressive energy efficiency.
However, there are several downsides to this unique water heater. First, you’ll need to have plenty of room to store this tank. With the hybrid features, it’s 63 inches tall. That’s significantly taller than most water heaters. You’ll also need adequate space for the hybrid heat pump to draw warm air. This water heater only comes with a 10-year warranty, so it may not last as long as an Everlast water heater.
One of the most affordable brands, this model shows the most inexpensive way to purchase a 40-gallon electric water heater. The Rheem water heater only comes with a 6-year warranty, but still offers 53 gallons in the first hour. It isn’t too tall or wide, so it fits in more locations. Like the Everlast water heater, this model doesn’t feature any digital controls, so you’ll need to manually change the thermostat if you need to adjust the temperature. It’s an excellent choice if you are on a budget but may not have the long-lasting quality of the A.O. Smith or Everlast water heaters.
Choosing an HTP water heater can be a challenge. With the wide variety of options available, it can be difficult to narrow it down to one model. This pros and cons list will help you determine whether the Everlast 40-gallon electric water heater is the right choice for your household. If you need a larger tank, higher wattage or a different heating source, HTP has all the options you need.
The Everlast water heater series has one of the best warranties available for water heaters. You’ll have peace of mind with the limited lifetime warranty. It has a great FHR, so you’ll have plenty of hot water all day long. It’s lightweight, so you or a professional won’t have trouble fitting it in the right location. The stainless steel construction is not only durable but resists corrosion and buildup. It’s incredibly insulated, so you won’t lose as much valuable heat. It is reasonably priced for a premium hot water heater and is lead-free and safe for drinking.
For this price, many electric water heaters have digital controls or energy-efficient hybrid features. Unlike propane or natural gas, this water heater will raise your electric bill, so it will be more expensive over time. Consider the price of this premium water heater. Some models, like the Rheem water heater, provide similar features for less than half the cost. The Everlast 40-gallon water heater doesn’t offer any vacation setting, so you’ll have to manually turn off the breaker or lower the thermostat if you want to save money while away from home.
For a durable, effective electric water heater, the Everlast 40-gallon 4500-watt water heater receives 4 out of 5 stars. This is just one popular option out of the vast HTP water heater brand. If you prefer a natural gas, tankless or 5500-watt water heater, look for these great products from HTP. HTP provides an excellent warranty for all the products offered, so you’ll have peace of mind and stress-free operation. Be sure to choose the correct tank size for your household. Choose the most energy-efficient water heater with a great warranty, and you’ll never have to worry about on-demand hot water again. | 2019-04-22T16:20:23 | https://allthingshvac.com/2018/09 |

Broadcaster and host Lyn Ching technically lives with her in-laws—in a house inside their property, that is. The home that she shares with husband Jappy Pascual and their children, Gaby and Matty, occupies 500 square meters of the 1,200sqm lot of the Pascuals.
Initially, the couple wanted to spend their first few years as a married couple living in a condo, but Jappy thought it would be best to build a house to anticipate their family’s needs in the future. Jappy’s parents gave them the lot and even helped out in building their dwelling, going as far as hiring the services of interior designer Susan Lacson. Contractor Jade Irigo of Evi Construction also came into the picture to help complete their dream home.
Even with an interior designer in the picture, Lyn was still very hands on when it came to picking out materials and decor. She understands the importance of being involved in the process, so that their tastes are reflected in the results. The Pascual couple may have taken this all too seriously, as they came up with several requests while the project was ongoing, which incurred some delays in completion. More than a year after, they got what they wanted—a cozy home that fits their family’s needs and a reflection of who they are as a family.

As part of our move to Azure DevOps (from BitBucket and our own hosted Jenkins), we needed to host some internally used NuGet packages (packaged up third-party commercial libraries).
To do so, we created a new Project in Azure DevOps. As this project is going to be used for all our common libraries, we’ll also host the NuGet feed under Artifacts of this project as well. Note: you need to you have Artifacts extension enabled in Azure DevOps.
Now that we’ve created the Feed, for each distinct library, we’ll also create a new repository under that project – see end of this post.
The NuGet packages are defined using nuspec files, hence the packagesToPack using src/*.nuspec.
[FEEDNAME] needs to be replaced with the feed name for the NuGet feed we created at the start.
We are not defining the version the generated NuGet packages. For our packages, the version is manually defined in the nuspec file.
Now all you should need to do is commit a change to a repository, and watch Azure DevOps build then publish your NuGet packages.
From now on, you can use the same dropdown to to switch the repositories. | 2019-04-25T16:20:43 | https://www.nbrooks.id.au/2019/04/05/nuget-packages-from-azure-devops-repository-to-azure-devops-artifacts/ |
Justice Democrats is a progressive political action committee founded on January 23, 2017 by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk and former leadership from the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The organization formed as a result of the 2016 United States presidential election and has a stated goal of reforming the Democratic Party by running “a unified campaign to replace every corporate-backed member of Congress and rebuild the Democratic Party from scratch” starting in the 2018 congressional midterm elections.
Justice Democrats describes its views as being held by most Americans, but deemed “politically impossible” by the current political establishment because of systemic political corruption. They comment that as all campaigns need donations and that candidates who hold policies viewed as unfavorable by corporate interests and wealthy individuals will be denied funding by corporations. Therefore the system actually ends up forcing politicians to change their policies to suit the current business environment.
After the 2016 presidential election resulted in a victory for Donald Trump, many critics of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party on the political left, including but not limited to The Young Turks and Secular Talk, pointed to the perceived loyalty of politicians to large donors as a major contributing factor to Clinton’s loss to Trump. These critics contend that a campaign model more similar to Bernie Sanders, whose 2016 presidential campaign was funded by small individual donations, will increase public trust in politicians and accountability to constituents.
On January 23, 2017, Cenk Uygur and Kyle Kulinski founded Justice Democrats with ten others, including former staffers from the Sanders campaign such as its Director of Organizing Technology, Saikat Chakrabarti, and MoveOn.org fundraiser Zack Exley. According to the organization, they seek to create a left-wing populist movement to support alternative Democratic candidates beginning with the 2018 mid-term elections, in order to either defeat the incumbent Democrats or cause them to become accountable to their constituents. They require their candidates to take a pledge to refuse financial contributions from billionaires and corporations. In addition, they hope to rebuild the Democratic Party on a national level and to defeat President Trump if he runs for re-election in 2020.
Justice Democrats announced in March 2017 they had teamed up with the Brand New Congress, a PAC established by former Sanders campaign supporters, to further their goals.
As of March 20, 2017, Justice Democrats have reported they have received 8,300 nominations and raised $1 million.
Representative Ro Khanna of California’s 17th congressional district announced on May 9, 2017, that he had become a Justice Democrat, and the first sitting member of Congress to join the organization. On November 1, 2017, Justice Democrats announced on social media that fellow progressive group AllOfUs had merged with the group.
On December 22, 2017, it was announced that Uygur had resigned from his position at the organization, following the revelation of previously deleted but archived controversial blog posts he had written almost two decades earlier that were featured in a report by TheWrap that were reported to have been posted in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Uygur apologized the day prior and revealed that he deleted the “ugly” posts over a decade ago because he no longer stood by those principles. The following day, Kulinski announced that he had stepped down from the organization as he disagreed with the opinions of the Justice Democrats staff members that pressed for Uygur’s dismissal over the blog posts. He said his decision came as a result of a personal dilemma as he saw the posts in question upon re-reading them as being satirical due to them dealing with Uygur complaining about his inability to attract women. Kulinski noted that the decision to ask for Uygur’s resignation came from the Justice Democrats staff, not the candidates, and as such he asked his supporters to continue backing the organization’s candidates.
According to Justice Democrats, their highest priority is to effectively eliminate the role of money and conflicts of interests in politics. They wish to pass a constitutional amendment to “put an end to Washington corruption and bring about election reform”. They support the idea of publicly funded elections, banning Super PACs as well as banning private donations to politicians and campaigns. In addition, they advocate the reinstatement of provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and a ban on gerrymandering for partisan gain. As a core policy, any candidate running with Justice Democrats must pledge to refuse any donations from billionaires or corporations. They plan to call a constitutional convention.

My Life in Second Life: I Want My Portal of Civilization!
I read an unsettling article the other day about the Cushing Academy, a prep school for children and young adults, that is eliminating its library of 20,000 books. The headmaster, Dr. James Tracy justified his decision this way: “You know [holding up a book], if I look at this book I am struck by how limited it is. This is pretty bulky. I don’t mean to belittle or disparage it. I love books, and I love the representation of culture that they embody, but, from an information perspective, this is a very, very bulky way to reposit data by today’s standards.” A book is too bulky? Has anyone tried to snuggle into bed with a Kindle?
Instead of books Tracy will provide computers which he has named “Portals of Civilization”. I hope you understand, dear readers, that the information you seek is chosen for you - as in any analog collection. But many of your online sources are chosen by Google and other filters. And if we’re talking books, for example, they have to be copyright free. You'll need to supplement! While it may seem convenient as you sit in front of the laptop eating crackers over the keyboard, nothing beats the serendipity (there’s that word again, MM ;) ) of browsing in the stacks. Here’s an interesting study taken from student discussion groups across the country. Some of their observations about research in the digital age describe how students waste time online not knowing what to look for, yet still sift through articles trying to make them fit their needs, or try to figure out if an article is up to date, or whether something is from a credible source. This article, “Google Book Search: A Disaster for Scholars” ought to give an institution pause before hurling themselves fully into the digital zone without the infrastructure to support the idea. Google makes mistakes, the article tells us, my favorite being a misattribution of the following book, The Mosaic Navigator: The Essential Guide to the Internet Interface, which Google dates 1939 and attributes to Sigmund Freud and Katherine Jones.
In place of the stacks the Cushing Academy spent $42,000 on 3 flat screen tvs that will project data from the internet. The reference desk was removed to make way for a $12,000 cappuccino machine. When I was 13, I did not drink coffee, and the last place I wanted to hang out socially was in school. But school and city libraries were always an escape, a place to explore books in peace. They are the most comforting places in the world to me, libraries, full of possibility, imagination, offering answers to all my questions, or raising questions, which is even better. In a time when most of us are tethered to our computers and gadgets, the physical sensation of turning a well-worn page offers a form of respite that cannot be replaced. There's also plenty to admire in the physical, like the well-worn publisher's binding of something other than a mass market paperback. As a friend's shrink used to say, I think what we're looking for here is a balance. The Cushing Library states that few of their books were checked out. I think it's up to the Cushing Library to make their library truly relevant to their students.
As for online resources, I know Teen Second Life has got some wonderful projects that would put Dr. Tracy in a happy technological flutter. And, for you older folks, our Second Life libraries can be great…just visit the Alliance Library blog for access to a variety of in-world collections. I look forward to how online collections will develop. A really fine afternoon can be spent at the R.F. Burton Library in New Babbage (shown in the photo above). Click on the stacks and you’ll have immediate access to a wide of subjects (online books from credible sources!) having to do with Steampunk and Victorian history and literature, domestic science, and spiritualism. I’m particularly proud to be a member of the Caledon Libraries, who set the bar for sharing access to library collections.
There are so many different ways to uncover information and become literate, and you students of life and students of schools have to know how to find stuff in a myriad of ways. But remember, as my friend Matthew says, no one beats the book’s terms of service. | 2019-04-21T05:08:31 | http://mylifeinsecondlife.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-want-my-portal-of-civilization.html |

Hummingbirds are among the most attractive to the average bird watcher, who make special provisions of growing flowers or artificial nectar in feeders to attract them nearby in order to watch them. Consequently it is an inspiration for lovers of the bird in regard to choosing them as a central theme for a tattoo design.
There are several traits of the hummingbird which make them ideal candidates for the subject matter of a tattoo. Those include the long beak, rapidly flapping wings, its body position, and the flowers that accompany their eating habits.
All of these offer up a plethora of possibilities for design options, including the attempt to make the wings appear to be flapping, a variety of colors, and flowers that usually include long blooms to accommodate the way hummingbirds feed.
Add to all of that the usual styles and interpretations of the tattoo artists, and there are an endless number of ways to portray the bird in a very compelling way. We'll look at a gallery of hummingbird tattoo designs now with some comments on them.
The first image of a hummingbird tattoo is one that we all can relate to, as it's probably the most common one we see when viewing hummingbirds, aside from the hanging sugar water we give them.
What was interesting to me about this tattoo is the focus of the subject matter. It isn't the flowers or the eating of the nectar, but the attempt to make it look like the bird had come zooming in and quickly starting drinking of the flower.
If you were wondering what that blue was in the design, that's the attempt to create a look at what the air would be seen as if we could see the effects of the hummingbird wings on it with the naked eye.
It's not too impressive to me, but it does show how artists try to reproduce the most fascinating part of the hummingbirds actions.
For someone that likes a lot of color, this is a pretty good tattoo design, This is a case where the artist captured the position of the hummingbird's body when it feeds very well.
The simple but effective colors on the hummingbird and flowers look really good. They are vibrant, solid, and uncomplicated. Yet there are just enough little additions; on the flowers and the hummingbird to keep it from being boring.
Rarely is a tattoo very appealing to me when you have to wrap your eyes around the area it is inked to see the entire design. This tattoo is one of the few exceptions to that rule for me, as the way the hummingbird is portrayed as feeding from the flowers which are wrapped around the shoulder works for me.
It gives the sense of quick feeding which hummingbirds usually partake in; darting in and out of the flowers and flying back and forth between areas in those jerky motions. In other words, the position of the bird and the flowers make it look like the bird is in fact acting in that way.
That may not be the reason for it being that way, but it definitely may be done on purpose to convey the idea. Either way, I like the way it looks.
I love tribal tattoos when they're done right, and this one is, even as it reproduces an Aztec look, whom the hummingbird has a lot of history with, as it was a fetish of the nation; a very important part of their ancient history.
While I'm not certain of the Aztec art or design connection, the tribal look is very relevant to hummingbirds, and this style looks fantastic.
Even though the previous tribal hummingbird tattoo had a lot more detail, this one has a much cleaner look, and is superior to me, although both are well done.
It's of course difficult to compare the two because their totally different in size, and the locations on the body make the tattoo artist adapt the design accordingly. But if I had to choose, the tattoo design below is my favorite of the two.
Here is a unique tattoo because of the inclusion of some tribal elements, along with the attempt to make the wings of the hummingbird appear to be rapidly flapping. For what it is, I think the artist was successful with it.
That's because it wasn't an attempt to make the bird appear realistic, but to display one of its characteristics in a way that can be easily recognized and understood. Seeing it from the front position is also a nice touch, as normally the hummingbird is designed in a way that views it from the side.
The color of this tattoo is what makes it attractive to me. The humming has a nice rainbow of colors flowing from the head, to the neck, and down throughout the body. Also vibrant is the blue color of the flower.
It's a really nice tattoo, but the bottom half of the bird is noticeably weaker than the top half, although the little feet were placed nicely, something many tattoo artists don't get right, who tend to make them look like they're sticking out the side. Here you can see the back leg appearing to be on the other side of the body; something you should look for if getting a hummingbird tattoo.
This final tattoo in the hummingbird gallery is fantastic. The colors are magnificent, detail amazing.
What is of particular note is the position of the hummingbird, which is exactly like it should look; the depth of the morning glory it's eating from is outstanding, and the two go together without clashing in any way.
This was of course a serious attempt at creating a great piece of art, and has to be judged from that point of view. In that regard the artist and lucky recipient of the tattoo succeeded in the endeavor.
You can see why hummingbirds are the choice so many people make when deciding on a tattoo, as they are compelling, have great color, and can be placed in a scene which is always enjoyable to view. What more could you ask for with a tattoo design?
If that's your tattoo on the bottom, that's very close to the painterly style! The first tattoo comes VERY close -- if only the tattooist hadn't indulged in outlining the flowers and bird. Beautiful pics -- thanks for sharing!
Creative and fashionable... I must say I find these tattoo designs look elegant!! | 2019-04-22T02:22:01 | https://hubpages.com/style/hummingbirdtattoodesignsgalleryphotospictures |

Was Dante Wrong to Name the People He Put in Hell?
If one were asked to name the greatest work of literature of all time, there would be only a handful of serious contenders. Both of Homer’s classics would make the short list and perhaps Virgil’s epic would also qualify, and possibly one or other of Shakespeare’s tragedies. There is also little doubt that Dante’s magnum opus, The Divine Comedy, would make the grade as one of the all-time greats.
These are great questions that deserve and, indeed, demand answers.
My correspondent’s discomfort with what might be termed Dante’s judgmentalism is understandable. It’s not for any of us to presume that anyone is in hell. I think it fair, therefore, to question this aspect of Dante’s approach. In his defense, I would suggest that he wanted to avoid writing a crudely formal allegory about the deadly sins which would have been the case had he presented them as personified abstractions. In putting real people in hell and purgatory, it enlivens his story, bringing it to life literarily. He is, therefore, employing poetic license. Whether this is sufficient reason for the crime of judgmentalism is, however, questionable. Might he not have been better served had he peopled his afterlife with fictional characters of his own invention, suggestive perhaps and inspired no doubt by real life historical people, but not actually naming them and therefore damning them (at least literarily)? If he had done this, he would not only have avoided the sin of judgmentalism but would have saved generations of readers from having to read the historical context surrounding the real-life people whom he consigns to hell or purgatory.
Needless to say, there would be no problem with his naming of the canonized saints in Paradise but the irony is that Dante actually places a canonized saint in hell! He consigns Saint Celestine V to the vestibule of hell for what he termed Celestine’s “great refusal” to accept and embrace the papal office. Although Dante doesn’t name Celestine V directly as the “coward” who made the “great refusal,” it has been accepted by most critics that Celestine was indeed the “cowardly” soul whom the great Florentine singles out for his scorn. It seems that Dante vents his spleen against Celestine, not so much for his resignation per se but for the fact that his resignation had enabled Dante’s enemy, Boniface VIII, to become pope.
Leaving aside the problem with his naming of specific real-life popes and priests, Dante would be doing nothing wrong in placing fictional popes and priests in hell and purgatory. There have been many bad popes and priests and it is good to embrace and acknowledge the fact. Good Christians should not be afraid to admit that there are bad Christians, including bad priests and popes. Indeed, the paradox is that good Christians know that they are themselves bad Christians!
My final observation is that we should not allow this tragic flaw in Dante’s comedy to blind us to the beauty of the great poet’s engagement with sin (in hell and purgatory), with repentance (in purgatory) and with sanctity (in heaven). It is a majestic work, filled to the brim with Christian insight into man’s relationship with God and his neighbor. In short, we shouldn’t allow the mote in Dante’s eye to become the plank in ours!
Republished with gracious permission from Intellectual Takeout (June 2016).
I think it’s one of the most endearing things about Dante’s poem. It speak truth to the reality of apostasy and that nominalism endangers our souls. Always talking about the damned in abstract, faceless terms always makes it an issue “out there” somewhere. We must recognized there will be people in Hell we were just sure who weren’t supposed to be there (and conversely, in Heaven). Dante doesn’t have an infallible list of the damned, but he does have a theological license for regarding evil fruit as coming from an evil root.
If Dante had peopled it with fictional Popes, it would have convoluted the historicity. A significant theme is of the work is the Papal/Holy Roman Emperor conflict. Actual Popes and people were required to present actual situations and political ideas. Dante had to have real Popes and other people It would not have been the same work. In addition, fictional characters would have required much more character development. Dante achieves an incredible economy and force by letting the historical characters speak out of history.
Read Pope Benedict XV’s “Dante Encyclical”. It speaks for itself. | 2019-04-18T18:57:32 | https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2016/12/dante-divine-comedy-joseph-pearce.html |

It was a punchy way to open a talk titled �From Indie to AAA to Indie,� and Molyneux leaned into characteristically bombastic language while describing his experiences as an indie developer.
But first, Molyneux decided to share a slide showcasing the many desks he�s worked upon, from a shanty desk in the corner of a garage to a series of proper office desks at Bullfrog, EA, Lionhead, Microsoft. �I actually thought I�d talk about desks for a moment," he said, as a way to better explain his reasons for �going indie� instead of staying in the corporate world.
See, the desks in the picture share a common trait -- they're all covered with half-finished work. To hear Molyneux tell it, he was driven to start 22cans out of an innate need to �create,� one that bubbled up while he was working at Microsoft a few years ago.
Molyneux spoke out against what he perceives to be greedy monetization models that are handicapping game design. Companies like Supercell and Mojang have developed games that appeal to a broad audience, rapidly bolstering the ranks of potential players that developers can target, and as a response many companies are creating games that prioritize revenue potential over player satisfaction.
Molyneux went on to share his six-step plan for making Godus, 22 cans� upcoming god game for PC and mobile devices. He recommended that developers experiment with technology � he points to 22cans� experimental launch of mobile tap receptacle Curiousity: What�s Inside the Cube, which was built by 5 people using Unity, as an example.
�If you put a million people together, about 5,000 of them will turn into nightmare bullies who will destroy the culture you�re trying to create,� said Molyneux. He claims that by removing player communication from Curiousity, 22cans learned how to better create a healthy community.
Community-building is the second stone on the path of Molyneux� suggested development path. It�s a common refrain, of course � Molyneux claims that by using Kickstarter to fund Godus and then releasing early versions of the game to that small community of backers, the team at 22cans was better empowered to quickly respond to player feedback and update the game.
From there, Molyneux recommends developers move to Steam�s Early Access service. He claims that Godus netted another million installs through Early Access, which brought in more money and players to keep development going.
22cans stopped updating, took time to redesign some of the core systems of Godus, and later released one large major update for the game.
It�s an interesting suggestion in light of the fact that many of the developers I�ve spoken to during GDC 2014 are enthusiastic about developing their games in public. To them, the pressure of having to respond to player feedback and release weekly builds of a game in development via Early Access or some sort of beta program forces them to �focus on the fun� and ensure their game remains entertaining throughout the development process. Molyneux seems to recommend that indie developers take time to evaluate and iterate upon their design without worrying about keeping their fans engaged.
The next step is to do a limited release of your game to gauge reactions. For Godus, that means an April launch across Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, the Philippines and New Zealand, with a proper launch to follow. To Molyneux, the value of being an independent developer lies in being able to do things like muck around with odd funding models or release schedules without having to answer to a broader authority. | 2019-04-24T22:49:43 | http://gamasutra.com/view/news/213442/Molyneux_shares_his_strategy_for_indie_development.php |

Have ready two 9 x 13-inch ovenproof baking dishes. Combine the water, quinoa, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and all the water is absorbed. Set aside.
TO PREPARE THE CABBAGE, remove and discard any outer, damaged leaves. Using a paring knife, remove and discard the center core of the cabbage. Place the whole cabbage, core side down, in an 8 to 10-quart stockpot. Add the water and cover the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and steam for about 15 to 18 minutes. Fork-test for tenderness. The leaves should be very soft and pliable. Remove the cabbage to a dish and set aside.
TO MAKE THE SAUCE, combine the tomato paste, water, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a 2 or 3-quart saucepan and simmer over medium heat, uncovered, for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Spoon in enough of the sauce to cover the bottom of the baking dishes.
TO MAKE THE FILLING, combine the onions, carrots, bell pepper, garlic, and water in a large, deep skillet. Water-sauté over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender, adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent burning the vegetables. Turn off the heat.
Crumble the Gimme Lean into the skillet and add the Brazil nuts and well-drained raisins. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and toss well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
To form the cabbage rolls, separate the cabbage leaves by carefully lifting each one up from the core end. Place one leaf on a dish with the core end of the leaf facing you. Spoon the filling into the center of the leaf. The size of the leaf will dictate the amount of filling to use.
Roll up the core end first, then tuck in the sides, and, finally, roll the leaf over to enclose it completely. Place the cabbage roll, seam side down, into the baking dish and repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves. If the inner cabbage leaves are not soft and very pliable, put them back into the pan and steam for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Spoon the remaining sauce over the tops of each cabbage roll. Cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes to heat through. Just before serving sprinkle the tops with the parsley and toasted sesame seeds. | 2019-04-21T14:27:42 | http://compassionateholidays.com/cabbage-rolls |

On Tuesday morning I picked up a steaming cup of coffee from the MacDonalds in Lachine and made my way down to the "Old" Lachine Canal. The whole of the Lachine Canal is "old", but this portion is even older than the rest since it pre-dates the heavy industrial use of the canal in the early to mid-20th century.
A plaque commemorates the much earlier fur trading period, long before the construction of the Lachine Canal, when this spot at the head of Lake St-Louis served as the jumping off point for fur-trading expeditions up the St-Lawrence river and on to the Great Lakes.
The ancient fur trade outpost, once a kingpin in the lucrative trade of centuries-past, now serves principally as an anchor for this very pretty urban park.
Nothing is further from the hustle and bustle of the more traditional commuting experience that is happening on Highway 20 than the picturesque serenity of this much less traveled route just a few kilometres to the south.
Taking the Vespa to work means that I can take ten minutes to enjoy my first cup of morning coffee in this beautiful relaxing setting rather than juggling coffee in the car or on the train.
Ten minutes is such a small price to pay for such a soothing experience. | 2019-04-22T10:22:04 | https://www.life2wheels.com/2010/07/old-lachine-canal.html |
The calls we get through our individual advocacy program inform us about systemic problems. The problems people have showed us are broken sytems and which are in need of reform.
We gather with our top advocates and colleagues in the advocacy arena several times a year to prioritize which issues are most critical. CCDC believes in the power of coalition, so often we will not work on issues if they are being covered by our sister organizations.
Our strategic plan guides our priority issues and values. The plan is reviewed quarterly by the board of directors and updated every three to five years with broad input from the membership and staff.
Systems Advocate work involves attending policy related meetings including formal boards and commissions and informal working groups, showing up at the state capitol to educate lawmakers about our issues, and grassroots organizing. Systems organizing can be done on a local or statewide level and most meetings have a phone in options to facilitate rural participation. You will need to take the Basic Advocacy Training at the University of Denver. This 8 week class (once a week for 8 weeks) provides basic information on advocacy as well as the systems we encounter. You also will be paired with a mentor upon completion. In order to be a certified advocate and represent CCDC, this class is required. If you are interested in the class, please contact our manager of training Angela Nevin at anevin@ccdconline.org.
to get to learn what CCDC is all about in what CCDC does to help advocate and stop discrimination against people with disabilities.
– If you attend the orientation, you would be able to volunteer for CCDC — by attending events but not formally representing CCDC.

We’re bombarded with negative messages everyday. Bailouts to bad weather. Hogzilla to swine flu. It’s good every now and then to take a respite from all of that. A couple of weeks ago, while visiting my in-laws in NC, we had the pleasure of attending a community pickin’. Not a pig pickin’. Or a nose pickin’. (We don’t do that around here.) But a pickin’ of the musical variety. Bluegrass and country music to be more specific.
These community pickin’s have been popping up around the area for some time. Gifted musicians and music fans come from all around to visit these different pickin’ parlours or “Pickin’ Parties” for lack of a better term. To listen. To play. And to forget about the Lizard Man for one evening. What could be better than a night of music and fellowship?
This particular pickin’ was in Staley, NC. The musicians circle around, break out in Little Cabin Home on the Hill and the fun begins. They take turns leading the music and everyone jumps in, even if they’ve never played that particular tune before. It’s fun to watch.
Here’s Julie, a fiddle player and the only lady in the bunch. She’s a member of the all girl band, The Sweet Potato Pie.
This young fella began on the upright bass. The upright bass is cool.
Yep, I’m looking at you. I’m talkin’ about your bass. That’s one cool bass.
I wanna to learn to play the stand up bass.
The stand up bass and the banjo. The banjo rocks.
And the dobro. Beautiful instrument, the dobro.
The singing and pickin’ continue. Around the circle it goes. Where it stops nobody knows.
Here’s a familiar face. It’s my husband and our daughter.
I’m surprised these pictures are any thing close to being clear as I was slightly nervous for my daughter. This was her first time singing in a group of strangers and all adults. Most of the musicians didn’t know the song, Come On Up to the House, but just jumped right in. See the proud daddy? Pure joy.
He’s so proud. Me too. She’s something for only being 14, if I do say so myself.
It was a fun night for all. As I said before, these pickin’ parlours have been popping up all around. Maybe there’s one near your neck of the woods? If so, why not take your family? Enjoy some real talent and maybe make some new friends in the process.
Are there any other local goings on you can share with everyone? Maybe your neighborhood has a regular block party? Or is there a square dance hall nearby? Or do you like to stand outside around a fire with your favorite buddies eating s’mores and watching for shooting starts? Whatever it is, do tell.
Keep on pickin’ you pickers out there!
Great job by all! Beautiful pictures – beautiful young lady (and dad). Wish her Mom would sing with them. Thanks, Amy.
How fun!! Hope did such a wonderful job! Randy, too! I love all the pics you took. What special memories…..
There’s just nothin’ like the sweet, sweet sound of a daddy and his daughter makin’ music together. Wish I could’ve been there!
Go Girl! Love it! Will be lookin’ for you in Nashville soon!
Wow. So sweet. Your family is so talented. Her voice is angelic.
That music brings tears to my eyes every time. My granddaddy was a steel guitarist and had a band that practiced and jammed at his house all the time. Every weekend we’d head to my mom’s home to experience it. I didn’t like it so much at the time (especially the cigarette smoke) but it sounds like home to me now.
And the Lizard Man? Is there one up there, too? I thought Bethune had the only Lizard Man around.
Watch out Nashville here she comes!!!! Hope puts her soul in the song. What a sweet sound. And the look on Proud Daddy’s face is priceless. I keep playing the video over and over again. I love it. Wish I were there. “Come On Up To the House” just may become our fireside song, Hope, I love you, and you are natural with lots of talent. Keep on singing. And Amy, Like Nanny J said it would be good to have a video of the three of you. Love to all.
WE love bluegrass in our house, or folk or western, whatever it is called , the acoustic combined with a voice….and your daughter’s voice is AMAZING!
My husband plays drums, banjo, guitar and a wicked harmonica, we need this kind of happening in our area….none that we know of, another reason to move! thanks for sharing and I will look for her to be on the public stage soon! love seeing her daddy’s love!
LOVE!! Love the music style, love that gorgeous girl and her sweet voice. Shes got some soul, that girl. She totally held her own.
I love this idea and I wish I could find something like that here.
Your pictures were insane! So good.
I think my favortie part may be the pround parents. You two have every reason to be proud.
Alli, I and the whole family loved listening and watching the video! There is nothing like a fathers’ love and your video captured that!
Wonderful! I love your pictures, they are perfect and capture the mood so well!
I’m a sucker for live music, and an even bigger fan of bluegrass. I wish I could have been there to join in the fun!
Great blog you have here… beautiful.
As I was reading this entry, I was thinking….where is the video? So thrilled you shared with us. I can’t do much picking but I can definitely do some grinning when it comes to bluegrass. Thanks for sharing.
Credits to the mom who took amazing photos! Thanks so much for sharing. Btw…what lens did you use for these???
Hey Joy! Thanks so much. Of course as her mom I’m a little biased.
I used the fabulous 50mm 1.4 lens. Aren’t you just loving it?
Gorgeous! I love the photos and I can practically hear the music.
Music night with friends is a weekly event at my house and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I cook for them and they play music. I get the better end of the deal, for sure!
Your daughter has a great voice and the music is awesome! Great post!
Loved the pictures of Hope and Randy. The daddy/daughter duet was awesome! We love simple get-togethers with friends and family: bonfires, game nights,and gathering to watch our favorite teams play the big games on TV.
How precious!! I enjoyed the video very much. Great memories!
Thanks so much for sharing this special moment with all of us. The look on Randy’s face is absolutley priceless. It brings tears to my eyes to see it so well captured. Your mom and mother-in-law are right, you should be singing with them.
I love it! Great music and a beautiful girl with a lovely voice. You have every reason to be proud!
Just passing by, but had to comment. She sings beautifully and I loved that song!
I had to come back by and listen to this song again! It’s a great song and she does a great job.
Loved it!! She’s got some talent (and so does he). Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!! She’s got a great voice.
Loved seeing Hope and her Diddy enjoying some “Old Timey Music” as my blue grass pickin’ brother calls it…together! She sang great and Randy looked proud. My West Virginia roots were groovin’ on it! Thanks for sharing Amy.
How great–your daughter and husband playing together! My husband and I have played bluegrass together for over 40 years–he and his brothers played for several years before that. It’s the most fun, live music—and the friendliest people seem to love playing and listening. I’m so glad you shared that with us! Pick on!
We spent Jan.2, 2000 at Grandpa Jones’ home with Mac Wiseman, Earl Scruggs (and his Missus) and John Hartford (And Miss Ramona, of course), along with many others on the trip of a lifetime our friend took us on. We’ll never forget it–it was awesomely awesome!
Ah…that was delightful!!! Your daughter is lovely and a great voice!
Just linked here form tasty Kitchen…going to add you to my stalking list 😉 Your photos are stunning!
Wow, she’s good. This brought tears to my eyes, the expression on your husband’s face. What a gift for all.
Awesome job, Hope! These are wonderful pictures as well! | 2019-04-20T20:13:54 | https://shewearsmanyhats.com/pickin-and-a-grinnin/ |
Ramaswamy Venkataraman , 4 December 1910 – 27 January 2009) was an Indian lawyer, Indian independence activist and politician who served as a Union Minister and as the eighth President of India.
Venkataraman was born in Rajamadam village in Tanjore district, Madras Presidency. He studied law and practised in the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court of India. In his young age, he was an activist of the Indian independence movement and participated in the Quit India Movement. He was appointed as the member of the Constituent Assembly and the provisional cabinet. He was elected to the Lok Sabha four times and served as Union Finance Minister and Defence Minister. In 1984, he was elected as the seventh Vice President of India and in 1987, he became the 8th President of India and served from 1987 to 1992. He also served as a State minister under K.

Venkataraman was born in Rajamadam village near in Pattukottai, near Tanjore district in Tamil Nadu. He had his school education in Govt Boys Higher Secondary School, Pattukottai & Undergraduation in National College, Tiruchirappalli.
While practising law, Venkataraman was drawn into the movement for India's freedom from Britain's colonial subjugation. His active participation in the Indian National Congress's celebrated resistance to the British Government, the Quit India Movement of 1942, resulted in his detention for two years under the Defence of India Rules. Venkataraman's interest in the law continued during this period. In 1946, when the transfer of power from British to Indian hands was imminent, the Government of India included him in the panel of lawyers sent to Malaya and Singapore to defend Indian nationals charged with offences of collaboration during the Japanese occupation of those two places.
Law and trade activity led to Venkataraman's increasing association with politics. He was a member of constituent assembly that drafted India's constitution. In 1950 he was elected to free India's Provisional Parliament (1950–1952) and to the First Parliament (1952–1957). During his term of legislative activity, Venkataraman attended the 1952 Session of the Metal Trades Committee of International Labour Organisation as a workers' delegate. He was a member of the Indian Parliamentary Delegation to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in New Zealand. Venkataraman was also Secretary to the Congress Parliamentary Party in 1953–1954.
Although re-elected to Parliament in 1957, Venkataraman resigned his seat in the Lok Sabha to join the State Government of Madras as a Minister. There Shri Venkataraman held the portfolios of Industries, Labour, Cooperation, Power, Transport and Commercial Taxes from 1957 to 1967. During this time, he was also Leader of the Upper House, namely, the Madras Legislative Council.
Venkataraman was appointed a Member of the Union Planning Commission in 1967 and was entrusted the subjects of Industry, Labour, power, Transport, Communications, Railways. He held that office until 1971. In 1977, Venkataraman was elected to the Lok Sabha from Madras (South) Constituency and served as an Opposition Member of Parliament and Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
In 1980, Venkataraman was re-elected to the Lok Sabha and was appointed Union Minister of Finance in the Government headed by Smt. Indira Gandhi. He was later appointed Union Minister of Defence, here he is credited for initiating India's missile programme, he shifted A P J Abdul Kalam from space programme to the missile programme, and consolidated the entire missile system, naming it as Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. Later he was to serve as Vice-President of India and then as a President of India starting 1987, where he worked with four prime ministers, and appointed three of them:V P Singh, Chandra Shekhar and P V Narasimha Rao, during his five-year term, which saw the advent of coalition politics in India.
Venkataraman received the Doctorate of Law (Honoris Causa) from University of Madras, the Doctorate of Law (Honoris Causa) from Nagarjuna University. He is Honorary Fellow, Madras Medical College; Doctor of Social Sciences, University of Roorkee; Doctor of Law (Honoris Causa) from University of Burdwan. He was awarded The Tamra Patra for participation in the freedom struggle, the Soviet Land Prize for his travelogue on K. Kamaraj's visit to the Socialist countries. He was the recipient of a Souvenir from the Secretary-General of the United Nations for distinguished service as President of the U.N. Administrative Tribunal. The title of "Sat Seva Ratna" was conferred on him by the Sankaracharya of Kancheepuram.He was a devotee of the Paramacharya of Kanchi.
On 12 January 2009, Venkataraman was admitted to the Army Hospital (Research and Referral ) with complaints of Urosepsis (a toxic condition caused by the extravasation of urine into bodily tissues).His condition grew critical on 20 January, when he was detected with low blood pressure and E. coli tract infection. | 2019-04-24T21:59:07 | http://www.tlm4all.com/2019/01/r-venkataraman-biography.html |
A father-son home builder duo of Doug and Chris Dickens has taken advantage of a strengthening housing market recently by specializing in infill development, primarily in the Collieville and Piperton areas.
While enjoying the chance to work together during the past three years, their collaboration has resulted in the construction of 20 to 25 new homes annually.
Chris Dickens launched Dickens Built in 2006 and weathered the economic downturn of the late 2000s. He started the company after countless hours working and learning from his father.
As the recession ended and the company stabilized, one of the company’s projects, the 16-lot Washington Street, had lot that were ready to go.
“We created a unique product that was close to the Collierville Town Square, and it became one of the first successful projects in Collierville coming out of the recession,” Chris said.
Doug Dickens has worked with infill land development in the Greater Memphis area since 1979. Over the years, he has been involved with developing 40-plus communities along the Poplar corridor.
From 2003 to 2014, he handled infill development for Boyle Investment Co., and he has partnered with his son since then.
He describes himself as in the early stage of retirement but still interested in good infill opportunities within Collierville.
“After retiring from Boyle, Chris and I have developed Hallsworth and Natchez Place, and he’s finishing up building in both of those now,” Doug said.
The 13-lot Hallsworth community near Collierville Elementary School features standard sized lots of 15,000 square feet or more, with homes averaging 4,000 to 5,000 heated square feet. Prices start in the $600,000s.
The nine-lot Natchez Place project on the east side of the Collierville Town Square includes zero-lot line homes starting in the $500,000s and sized at roughly 3,000 heated square feet. Logistically, the homes are close to highways 385 and 72, an additional draw for buyers that have ranged from millennials to Baby Boomers.
“We tend to create the zero-lot line homes for the empty nester Baby Boomers, and there are a lot of Baby Boomers in the Greater Memphis area,” Chris said.
The homes feature more livable downstairs areas and less maintenance, and they are located within walking distance of outdoor spaces, restaurants, office space and other commercial and retail shops.
He expects both of the company’s current projects to be closed out by middle of next year, and then the Dickens will turn their focus to 12 additional lots near the town square that will be coming on the market by the end of next year.
Financial Federal has worked with the Dickens for many years, supplying development and construction loans on a variety of communities.

Some three years ago we purchased one of the Hartley patio glasshouses and had it installed at the bottom of our rather unusual garden (a 70ft x 30ft area which is mostly of a ski slope design, the glasshouse is on flat area at the bottom). The glasshouse has given good service and is very much valued and is full of plants at present.
During the nights of 23rd / 24th December 2013 our neighbours 45ft high Cyprus deposited itself across our garden and on into a neighbours garden. On viewing the devastation caused we were extremely worried about possible damage to the glasshouse. The tree had come to rest in part on our garden shed and we could see bows pressed up against the greenhouse.
The tree has now been removed and although the shed was extensively damaged the glasshouse is intact with doors and roof operating in the normal manner. We feel sure that had we gone with say a cheaper option this would not be the case.
We still cannot believe how Hartley came through the storm (name of the glasshouse) as you can see it is in a tight spot which shows that every garden can have a glasshouse.
Congratulations Hartley for a good strong construction. | 2019-04-24T14:21:19 | https://hartley-botanic.co.uk/about/case-studies/patio-greenhouse-case-study/ |
This manual is a how to blueprint for anyone who has had a legal and or systematic problem and all others doors of positive action were closed to them; and they did not know who to talk to or they had very little knowledge of what to do next. The greatest frustration which one can be faced with is to be confronted with a legal and or systematic problem and your lawyer(s) take your hard earned money and sell you and your case down the drain. This Manual contains systematic trade secrets which have been accumulated over the years; the techniques are tried and proven. There is one point that I must stress to the Pro Se attorney; you must remember that you are your own attorney and that you are entitled to all of the rights and privileges and courtesies which are given to the opposing attorney.

I'd never even heard of conversion disorder until this happened! Just sharing/venting.
Immediately after an extended Parkinson's freezing episode that led to a panic attack (her first), Mom had what looked like a grand mal seizure. After almost a week in the hospital, she had no further issues and doctors came up with no conclusion on why it happened. Discharged to rehab and immediately began panicking and having convulsive movements in her arms and legs, so they sent her back to ER. Spent the day in ER before they sent her back to rehab, where the next day she had another "grand mal". Back to the hospital.
Spent 4 days on video telemetry. Naturally, she was steady as a rock the entire time (so frustrating!). Then, an hour after the EEG wires came off, she started with more convulsive "fits", followed the next day by another seizure. She starts screaming, convulsing, goes rigid, stops breathing, lips turn blue, pees her pants, falls unconscious, etc.
The neurologist's diagnosis: conversion disorder. Something to do with her Parkinson's is giving her the sensation of falling/flying/being out of control. This leads to panic attacks, which lead to these non-epileptic "episodes", which vary in severity. Now, just the fear of having another episode leads to an episode. Today is day 21 since the first one happened.
Yesterday, as I stood at the foot of my sleeping mother's bed discussing her imminent discharge to a rehab with a caseworker, she awoke and immediately went into a severe episode. I appealed the discharge and began advocating even harder for Mom. She's been prescribed Paxil and Ativan, but the situation is obviously far from under control, and will undoubtedly continue to happen at rehab. How will these episodes be handled at the rehab? Will they immediately be there by her side if one happens? Will they be able to talk her down when one is beginning? Will they send her back to the hospital, where we begin the cycle all over again?
It seems like I'm being heard, so here's where we stand: the hospital is trying to get her into a facility that is better equipped for this issue than the one we originally picked based on her stay last year when she broke her hip. The psychiatrist's nurse practitioner came in and very clearly explained to my mom what is happening to her in a way she can understand (though she is having a very hard time understanding anything right now due to the horrible things that are happening to her, the extended hospital stay, and the fog of Ativan). They are requesting that she gets not only PT and OT, but that a mental health therapist see her while she's at rehab and afterward when she (hopefully) comes home. Currently still waiting for information.
I've been to the hospital every single day but one since this happened. I've been maintaining a brave face at the hospital, with the exception of yesterday, when I was weepy all day and would break down in tears anytime someone said something nice to me!
My siblings are "helpful" to varying degrees, but as always, I am the main caregiver and decision maker. This, I can handle. What I have a hard time dealing with are the forms and financial matters! I practically have a panic attack myself thinking about them. A request for help with Mom last summer ended very poorly (how on earth can they be possibly be expected to take Mom for one weekend a month, what with their exquisite special-ness!), including a request that someone handle these matters.
Wish us luck, and of course any kind words or advice would be SO appreciated!
In the past we've made do with visits from an aide a few times a week to bathe her, but now I'm thinking of privately hiring someone to come in on a frequent basis. That's my hope, at least. My mom has some money in the bank, and I would much rather spend it on keeping her as comfortable as possible here at home than give it to a nursing home where she'll have no quality of life.
You are right. There is so much back story here that would take a week to go into. I have asked for help with paperwork and was dismissed with "that's ridiculous, she lives with you!", but I need to bring it up again and be firm about it.
But the thought of doing it - ugh! I'm SO strong when it comes to some things, much stronger than my siblings, but this...I'm still shell-shocked from past nasty confrontations.
I need to fess up to my shortcomings and tackle this.
(((((((Hugs)))))) What a challenging situation. Sounds like the most recent medical suggestions are good ones and will give your mum a chance to recover. She is very stressed by her situation. Parkinson's is a complex disease.
Are you able to hire help once she is home, or get some support through your local agency for aging. Detached sibs are the norm we see here. I am sorry yours are no help. You could use some.
Take enough time for yourself to process all that is happening. It must be very distressing for you to see these episodes, as well as for your mum go through them. You need some "down time". Take it while you can. Treat yourself to a massage or a partial spa day. You need to build yourself up.
This sounds like the month from Hell! My husband gets very uptight about ‘intermittent faults’ in machines, but intermittent episodes like your mother’s are infinitely worse. I am amazed that you are managing to cope at all. Can your mother hear? Is it something she is hearing that is triggering the panic attacks?
Your post makes me wonder (and not for the first time) whether the donkey who picks up the load ever tells the siblings the way it is, just as clearly as they say in their post. If your siblings are hearing this one day at a time, usually when the drama is over and you have already coped with it, they need to see the totality in the way you have put it to us.
It sounds to me that this is time for a serious discussion with all the family about who is going to do what. You cannot do all of this. Even siblings with their own special issues can at least spare time to do the paperwork needed for your mother’s care.
You need to tell them that you can’t and won’t cope. Unless and until they step up to the plate big time, your mother is going to need to go into care permanently. Whether you are actually ready for that immediately is not the point. It will come to that if this goes on permanently, and now is the time to push the point. Don’t wait until you are crippled with all of this yourself, both mentally and physically.
You have my total admiration for what you have been able to do so far. I do wish you good luck, but please don’t let it go on like this.
The unfamiliarity of rehab and the hospital is undoubtedly increasing her excessive fear and contributing to the episodes, but unfortunately it’s nexessary, which I hate! The ultimate goal is to get her home in a familiar environment, but right now she’s barely coherent and totally unable to stand. Also, I’m not equipped to handle episodes in which she stops breathing. It’s just so complex and frustrating.
From what you have said seems to me Mom doesn't want to be in rehab. Maybe this is what causes the anxiety. Could you get therapy at home? | 2019-04-19T15:10:25 | https://www.agingcare.com/discussions/id-never-even-heard-of-conversion-disorder-until-this-happened-just-sharing-venting-447725.htm |

Did you know that these steel blocks were once hazardous waste? These are now being used as premium raw material for the steel industry worldwide! Read the story of the emergence of these Purified Metal Blocks. The result of an safe, innovative and patented process of Purified Metal Company.
The story of PMC starts a few years ago with the founders Jan Henk Wijma, Nathalie van de Poel and Bert Bult who all have a background in steel industry. After a while Jansen Recycling Group has decided to join as a shareholder and Purified Metal Company was founded. The following years can be compared to a broad journey of exploration. In collaboration with a very strong consortium of well-established partners the concept has been proved and realized. In 2018 the official assignment to build the factory has been given and the factory will become operational in July 2020.
The story of steel starts around 2011 with contaminated train scrap. This scrap could not be adequately cleaned in order to pass as clean steel and therefore had to be dumped into landfills. This is how the idea, to destroy asbestos and recycle steel by thermic heating in a hot heal of 1550 degree Celsius, came about. From various scientific studies it has become clear that all types of asbestos are being destroyed within fractions of seconds and are being converted into different components, basically silicon-oxide, magnesium-oxide and water. Components that are already present in the hot heal.
The asbestos is thus being destroyed by the process of PMC and the steel is converted into a new premium raw material. Additional benefits could be that the steel scrap doesn’t have to be cleaned in advance.
For steel factories the visual control of incoming steel scrap is very important to assess the quality of the steel scrap. However, because the incoming material of PMC is contaminated with asbestos (or other contaminants) this step is not possible. The material is double packed to prevent asbestos from being released to the environment. Another factor is that the material comes from many different sources, which makes an assessment of the chemical composition before melting impossible. Steel is being produced on the basis of a chemical analysis made by a metallurgist. This is how the idea existed to not convert the hazardous steel scrap into steel but to produce a premium raw material that can be used by steel factories worldwide and has been given the name Purified Metal Blocks.
At first the focus was on asbestos contaminated steel scrap only. In the Netherlands alone tens of thousands of tonnes asbestos contaminated steel is being cleaned or dumped into landfills. However, several other contaminations have been found in combination with steel. Examples are mercury, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) and chrome VI. These contaminations can form serious danger to humans and the environment.
The combinations of steel with hazardous substances is being found in different steel objects such as valves, trains, ships, air ventilation systems and heaters. The combination with steel and mercury is often being found in the oil and gas industry in installations like gas pipes and oil platforms.
Chrome VI has been used, for example, to produce corrosion resistance paints. In the current situation these objects are being cleaned when economically viable and furthermore being sold as raw material or end product. If it’s not possible to clean an object, the material is being dumped into landfills. This is how complete trains disappear in landfills under the ground.

The common cold doesn’t always require a doctor’s visit, but the symptoms can sometimes leave you lethargic and whiney. If you’re stuck on the couch with a box of tissues in your lap, consider these at-home remedies to make your symptoms a little more bearable.
This may seem like an obvious one, but make sure you are staying hydrated. Your body is 60 percent water and it can’t function properly unless you are hydrated. Plus, if you have the cold sweats, you need to replace the water that your body is expelling.
Not only will this help you feel cleaner and overall a bit more put together, but the steam from an extra hot shower will actually help with your congestion and coughing. The addition of a humidifier in your bedroom can also alleviate your coughing during the night, helping you get that much-needed rest.
If you’re making some dinner for yourself, incorporate garlic into your recipe. Garlic is thought to have antimicrobial properties, which can both help heal and prevent sickness. There are plenty of delicious recipes that incorporate garlic, so grab a few cloves and whip something up.
When you have a sore throat and a cold, any hot beverage can be soothing. However, try adding some honey and lemon to a hot cup of tea. The tea will help soothe your throat alongside the honey, which has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Honey also works as a cough suppressant, which will help prevent further irritation of your throat.
The addition of lemon juice or a lemon slice will incorporate Vitamin C into your tea, which can help boost your immune system. The citrus from the lemon can also help clear out your throat if you have a cold.
Probiotics is another word for good bacteria, which help protect and strengthen your immune system and digestive system. These probiotics can be found in many foods, but they are most commonly found in yogurt. Have a cup of yogurt for breakfast (maybe even drizzle some honey on top) to help your body fight off the infection.
Of course, we all know that we’re supposed to drink chicken soup when we are sick, but why? Well, as it turns out, chicken soup can help slow the movement of white blood cells in your body, allowing them to gather in areas of infection to heal and prevent it from spreading. Plus, the heat from the soup will help soothe your throat and warm your entire body.
Getting well is a priority when you’re sick, but it doesn’t always require a doctor’s visit. There are plenty of ways to alleviate your cold and flu symptoms from the comfort of your own home. The next time your nose stuffs up or your throat gets scratchy, try some of these simple remedies. | 2019-04-21T02:31:25 | http://www.imakenews.com/keyhyundai/e_article003553993.cfm?x=brmGSkb,bL8yVW2m,w |

How would you gauge the success of your last digital campaign? Losing money is never desirable, and breaking even isn't much better. If you managed to see positive gains, you're probably ecstatic that your efforts paid off.
But getting in the green doesn't necessarily mean you've won.
In fact, it's this complacency that prevents most marketers from ever becoming truly great at digital promotions.
Think about this: seeing a 3% ROI might look great on paper, but what if your campaign has the potential to bring in 6% with a little reworking?
Marketing isn't cheap. It's a time-consuming, resource-heavy process, and many marketers are afraid to rock the boat when they tweak proven methods. They're not interested in getting to the next level because their current situation is comfortable and profitable.
Granted, it's not always a bad thing, but complacency robs you of the chance of ever becoming greater than your last campaign.
But what happens when your current methods no longer work? Marketing trends are continually shifting, and you won't always be able to rely on your current techniques.
In today's fast-paced digital world, it's either embrace change or get left behind.
The best digital promotions are the ones that speak directly to your target audience, or just a segment of that audience. It's tailored to their interests, their buying habits, their hot buttons.
Generic campaigns that aim for mass appeal aren't usually as effective as the ones that make personal connections with your audience. In fact, 71% of survey respondents indicated they prefer personalized ads that cater to their unique needs.
Marketers are trained to look at numbers, facts, and data to gauge a campaign's success. But let's be honest, some things you just can't measure.
For example, seeing the number of click-throughs on an ad doesn't tell the entire story. You will never know how many times a person thought about that ad. You will never know how many people actually saw your ad - you only know how many times the ad appeared on page.
Venturing away from a metrics-only standard of measurement goes against the marketing grain, but it's absolutely essential to focus more on strategy. Building relationships with customers will always result in better results than vying for one-off sales. When you think about your audience and how you can remain connected to them through promotions, the numbers and sales will automatically follow.
Too often digital promotions tend to look like every other promotion out there. This happens when marketers start scoping out their competitors for inspiration and end up becoming a me-too competitor.
But while marketers are busy searching for campaign inspiration, they fail to realize that inspiration itself is usually the answer. Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign and Coca-Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign were inventive and inspired their audience. They motivated buyers through their messaging. If you want better digital promotions, you must inspire others in a way that only your company can.
Avoiding complacency is the first step to creating better digital promotions, but the road is long and full of twists. Don't be afraid to fail and never stop trying to improve.

Alphonse Puthren who has made a strong entry into the malayalam film industry with his directorial debut 'Neram' is gearing up to shoulder yet another project, creamed with romance and entertainment. The director has already roped his lucky charm Nivin Pauly as the hero while the heroines would be fresh faces. After learning that the title of the film 'Premam' was not taken yet, he announced his new venture on the Valentine's Day.
'Premam' will be produced by Anwar Rasheed under the banner Anwar Rasheed Entertainment. Behind the camera would be the same team who has worked for 'Neram'. With the finalization of the cast, the movie will start rolling from May 2014. Actor Nivin Pauly is currently enjoying the stardom and blessing showered upon him.
After an impressive start debuting with 'Malarvadi Arts Club', the young charming guy took a leap forward after the success of 'Thattathin Marayathu' which really changed his fortune. With his recent releases '1983' and 'Om Shanthi Oshana' running successfully in theatres, Nivin has made his foot strong in the industry getting impressive projects. After completing the shoot of 'Banglore Days', Nivin will join the sets of 'Premam' which is expected to have a long line of respected artists.
Alphonse Putharen who rose to popularity with the music video 'Yuvvh' starring Nivin Pauly and Nazriya Nazim didn't have to look back. Known as a director, editor, writer and commercial ad maker, Alphonse is much aware about the taste of the audience who has recreated the visual magic with 'Neram'.
Film maker Jude Antony who made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy movie 'Om Shanthi Osana' is trying his luck through 'Premam'. As it is the second movie for Alphone Putharen and his crew risk and anxiety is double as the movie enthusiasts keep his expectation on the creation. | 2019-04-21T16:30:57 | http://www.spiderkerala.net/resources/11405-Premam-malayalam-movie-Alphonse-Puthren-with-his-lucky-charm-again.aspx |

Why do a good number of Nigerians lack interest or passion or appreciation for good or positive news achieved by Nigeria and Nigerians?
Yeah that's true. I just noticed it in this video contest on going now . 90% of my friends turned it down, saying all sorts of nasty things. I think it's because they believe these topics are not feasible with Nigerians or do they find it unusual. I just find it hard to grasp. | 2019-04-20T07:03:48 | https://www.positivenaija.com/forum/topic/dispassion-for-good-news-in-nigeria/ |

Engauge is a mobile app and interactive phone cover that tracks smartphone use throughout the day with the aim of reducing unintentional and habit-driven interactions.
Engauge combines a mobile app with an interactive phone cover that together track, and make the user aware of, the quantity of smartphone use sessions they initiate throughout the day. The goal is to limit the habit-driven impulse to check through raising the individual’s awareness around each smartphone interaction. Engaging in only mindful smartphone use that is driven by intent will decrease our daily use count, ensure fulfilling on-phone experiences, and give us back just a little more time each day to raise our sights, notice the people and community around us, or have a minute or two more with the people we love.
Be aware of smartphone use BEFORE user is fully engaged with their smartphone.
The phone cover syncs with the app, displaying how many times you’ve swiped open your smartphone so far for the day. The cover also reacts to your actions. When the phone senses motion (like it is being picked up) it turns the side lights on for a ten second period. This is just long enough for you to acknowledge your use count, before you proceed with your smartphone use or decide to wait.
The app overlays an incrementing animation onto your smartphone’s lockscreen. It displays when the smartphone is turned on and counts when the lockscreen is swiped opened. Seeing the count increment after every swipe open lets the user acknowledge that every swipe counts.
Visualize smartphone use behavior in detail and provide comparison for understanding.
If you want to better understand your use, the app provides a breakdown of your swipes throughout the day and an overview of your daily counts for the week and past months. It also compares your numbers to the averages of the Engauge community and to your personal goals, if you chose to set one.
Provide support through social motivation and friendly competition.
Set a personal goal for a daily use count to aim for throughout your day. You can also participate in challenges with friends or family who are also using the Engauge app and phone cover. Challenges can be for a day or multiple days among two or more people. It’s based on cumulative overall counts for that period of time. The app requires only one swipe from each participant to set up the challenge or to accept the invitation. From there, it runs off of notifications until the challenge concludes. | 2019-04-20T08:17:38 | http://www.engauge-app.com/ |

Now you have already learned the definition of creativity and defined your own idea of it. The definition of creativity goes back to 1930. The article introduces the development of definitions of creativity, providing further knowledge about it.
The field of creativity studies can be dated back to 1930, or 1940, or the 1950s; however, originality was the subject discussed more than creativity. The literature concludes that creativity requires both originality and effectiveness.
Despite the fact that the original definition of creativity began long ago, many discussions of ways to define it look to articles by Stein (1953) and Barron (1955).
Let’s start with a definition. ‘A creative work is a novel work that is accepted as tenable or useful or satisfying by a group at some point in time . . . By “novel’’ I mean that the creative product did not exist previously in precisely the same form . . . The extent to which a work is novel depends on the extent to which it deviates from the traditional or the status quo. This may well depend on the nature of the problem that is attacked, the fund of knowledge or experience that exists in the field at the time, and the characteristics of the creative individual and those of the individuals with whom he [or she] is communicating. Often, in studying creativity, we tend to restrict ourselves to a study of the genius because the “distance” between what he [or she] has done and what has existed is quite marked . . . In speaking of creativity, therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between internal and external frames of reference. (Stein, 1953, pp. 311–312).
Stein indicates that: (a) Creative work tends to be useful for some group, so social judgement is involved; (b) a creative insight arises from a reintegration of already existing materials or knowledge, but when it is completed it contains elements that are new; and (c) it is important to separate personal from historical creativity.
In this article Barron defined two criteria, which are uncommonness and adaptiveness to reality. These standard definitions of creativity speak of the two criteria that creativity should possess; however, they or they alone, may not always apply. For example, Simonton suggests that a third criterion, surprise, should be considered; while Runco argues that parsimony is the only criterion by which to judge.

The struggling Eastland Center shopping mall is hitting the auction block.
Current owners CW Capital will auction off about 640,000 square feet of the mall’s 1.4 million square feet of space in an auction on October 11th. They’ll go through Southfield-based real estate brokerage Farbman Group.
The auction covers most of the enclosed portion of the mall. It doesn’t include the spaces formerly occupied by Macy’s and Target and those currently leased by Lowe’s and Home Depot.
The mall has been struggling with declining occupancy rates and violent crime for years. CW Capital has been in charge of the property since 2016 after the former owner lost it to foreclosure.
The city of Harper Woods wants to work with the mall’s next owner to convert Eastland into a mixed-use development. It would include a new city hall and police department headquarters with a civic campus. Eastland is Harper Woods’ largest source of tax revenue and has cost it about $2 million in lost property taxes since 2014.
Eastland is part of a larger trend of declining, once-popular enclosed shopping centers. Other cities around the region — like Southfield with Northland Center and Waterford Township with Summit Place Mall — are trying to figure out how to redevelop their shuttered shopping malls. | 2019-04-23T18:52:05 | http://www.dailydetroit.com/2018/09/24/eastland-center-shopping-mall-to-be-auctioned-in-october/ |
What is the meaning of Tassels in Number 15:37-41?
NKJV Numbers 15:37 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 38 "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels <06734> on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels <06734> of the corners. 39 "And you shall have the tassel <06734>, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40 "and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God.
Using Strong’s Concordance and Hebrew Lexicon: Tassels <06734> tuyu tsiytsith; (from 06731 flower, shining thing) Meaning: tassel, lock (of hair) used 4 times in the Old Testament: 3 times in Numbers 15:38-39 above and once in Ezekiel 8:3.
From Barnes Commentary: The ordinary outer Jewish garment was a quadrangular piece of cloth like a modern plaid, to the corners of which, in conformity with this command, a tassel was attached. Each tassel had a conspicuous thread of deep blue, this colour being doubtless symbolic of the heavenly origin of the commandments of which it was to serve as a memento. Tradition determined that the other threads should be white—this colour being an emblem of purity (compare Isaiah 1:18). The arrangement of the threads and knots, to which the Jews attached the greatest importance, was so adjusted as to set forth symbolically the precepts of which the Law was believed to consist. In our Lord’s time the Pharisees enlarged their fringes (Matthew 23:5) in order to obtain reputation for their piety. In later times however, the Jews have worn the fringed garment (talith) of a smaller size and as an under-dress. Its use is still retained, especially at morning prayer in the Synagogue.
From Eclectic notes: And now again we have what the spiritual sense alone can interpret to us: the people are commanded to make upon the borders of their garments tassels, and upon the tassels a cord of blue, that they may look upon the tassels, and remember the commandments of Jehovah, and do them, that they may be holy to their God. The tassel is literally a "flower," from a root which means "to shine," and which is used of the plate upon the high-priest’s forehead, which similarly is connected with a lace of blue (Exodus 28:36). This, it is plain, is not a mere casual resemblance: as in the high-priest’s diadem holiness becomes the crown of the garments, here we find it on the border of them, next the ground: the lace of blue, the heavenly colour, reminding us that heavenliness is holiness. This, where the garment touches the ground, secures the habits, as it were, from the invasion of earthliness. While the flowerlike form may attest the "beauty of holiness," and that it is a living growth where real. Full consecration is clearly the lesson of the tassel and its attachment.
From Matthew Henry Commentary: The people are ordered by the Lord to make fringes on the borders of their garments. The Jews were distinguished from their neighbours in their dress, as well as in their diet, and thus taught not to be conformed to the way of the heathen in other things. They proclaimed themselves Jews wherever they were, as not ashamed of God and his law. The fringes were not appointed for trimming and adorning their clothes, but to stir up their minds by way of remembrance (2Peter 3:1). If they were tempted to sin, the fringe would warn them not to break God’s commandments. We should use every means of refreshing our memories with the truths and precepts of God’s word, to strengthen and quicken our obedience, and arm our minds against temptation. Be holy unto your God; cleansed from sin, and sincerely devoted to his service; and that great reason for all the commandments is again and again repeated, "I am the Lord your God."
Matthew 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem <2899> of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Mark 6:56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border <2899> of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Luke 8:44 Came behind him, and touched the border <2899> of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
Using Strong’s Concordance and Greek Lexicon: Hem <2899> kraspedon kraspedon; used 5 times in the New Testament and translated in the KJV as ‘border’ 3 times, ‘hem’ twice (as above) The Greek <2899> kraspedon kraspedon is used in the Septuagint (in Numbers 15:38-39) to translate the Hebrew <06734> tuyu tsiytsith, so we can be reasonably certain that a tassel is intended in the New Testament.
The command to wear tassels in the corners of their garments was part of the Law of Moses given to Israel. For them the Law was written in stone and the carnal ordinances were designed to keep it in the forefront of their minds. The Law of Moses is not binding upon Christians because Christ fulfilled the Law and took it out of the way.
For us the Law should be written in our hearts and kept active by the word of God and our consciences.
In Christ the Old Covenant (the Law of Moses) is replaced by the New Covenant (the commandments of Christ). The carnal ordinances along with tassels and Sabbath observance have no part in the New Covenant. | 2019-04-22T08:38:43 | https://www.thisisyourbible.com/questions/show/1070 |
People who are waiting for things to get better are literally living in a bubble. Watch other football teams. We aren't a good team. We won't be a good team this year. Things aren't going to get better. Hope you enjoy that top 10 pick. Maybe this time we'll draft a rookie QB. Probably not. I hate this team. I hate this organization. We are the laughing stock of the NFL. It's disgusting.
If the Redskins go 8-8 and win the NFC East I am ok with that.

... kinda where I was going JB...Cousins IMO was still a good non signing in our situation...he has an insane receiving corp in Minny and breaking Culpeppers all-time passing record means nothing if he doesn't bring them all the way the only reason they gave him the huge payday... they still lost in the divisional playoffs in 2004 when he set the record with a .500 record which is definitely not going to happen... Grant was a big part of his arsenal while he was here like him or not...Crowder is pedaling backwards...Richardson has flashed so far but has had trouble staying on the field as had Reed and Doctson...Keenum did have the higher completion percentage and you can dissect that any way you wish.. | 2019-04-25T08:57:58 | http://httr.cpnd.us/thread/21617/nfl-cousins-thread?page=4 |

Originally the Carriage Master's private quarters, the Hayloft Suite feels tucked away from the rest of the world.
The Hayloft Suite is the entire second floor of the Catchpenny Cottage at Chinaberry Hill.
The original hayloft to the estate has been joined with the Carriage Master’s quarters to create this pleasant space. The cottage is filled with local art glass – patterned glass and stained glass windows by a local Seattle Tacoma artist let in lots of light, more patterned and colored glass in the downstairs entryway. Small but sweet, craftsman windows in the bedroom lend a cheery cottage-like feel to the room. Tongue-and-groove woodwork throughout in chocolate tones with crisp white linen trim.
A vintage gold leaf mirror is a great backdrop for the table and chairs in the bedroom, much like a corner in a Parisian cafe. Hand-carved wood and rattan four poster queen bed, large walk-in closet with vintage dresser to hold your favorite things (the extra-long closet becomes a perfect hideaway/play space for children whose families rent the entire cottage).
The sitting room was originally walled off from the Carriage Master’s quarters and used to store hay for the horses below.
Antique clawfoot soaking tub and shower in the bath, with stained glass reflection at night from the light outside.
Please note: as the 2nd floor of a carriage house, the Hayloft has non-standard ceilings (7’2″) – not a problem if you are 6’3″ or less, but we would recommend one of our other rooms with the 9 1/2 ft. high ceilings if you are 6’4″ or above – or if non-standard ceilings bother you in general.
The two-room suite with private bath is very bright, so does not feel cramped or constrained otherwise, just cozy. The term “tucked away” really does fit the Hayloft Suite – children naturally gravitate to this space.
Both the Garden Room and the Hayloft Suite overlook the side garden, with the large Japanese maple tree just outside, both have a private bath with antique clawfoot soaking tub and shower (the Garden Room has a high overhead Victorian rainshower which is original to the mansion).
Both accommodations have a small view of the bay from the bedroom (with the Garden Room, you can see the water if you stand next to the window, the Hayloft Suite has a small view of the same waterway through the trees — which is less of a view during the months when the Japanese maple tree has leaves). Both views are distant views of the water.
If a more intimate/closer view of the water is important to you, you may want to consider either the Pantages Suite or the Rose Room. Of course, there are also views similar to those of the Pantages Suite from the wraparound porch, front parlor and vestibule, which is open to all of our guests. | 2019-04-22T22:44:00 | https://chinaberryhill.com/rooms-suites/hayloft-suite/ |

The STREAMLINE was conceived to improve and extend the Apache Flink platform to handle both batch and streaming data in a uniform way. The best way to achieve impact with our research is to reach out to the Apache Flink community and support its growth. Therefore, STREAMLINE has selected Flink Forward as its vehicle for dissemination and outreach. As the community around Apache Flink has grown exponentially, this has proved to be a good decision for the project. We have been able to reach over 2000 people directly and many more that have watched the presentations afterwards. One of the main goals for the STREAMLINE project has been to increase the competence and supply of data scientist in Europe. The increasingly large number of people attending the FlinkForward conferences is a testament to the success in reaching this goal.

Posts tagged by 'RSS Feed'.
I always found writing code to read an RSS feed within my .NET application very time-consuming and long-winded. My RSS code was always a combination of using WebRequest, WebResponse, Stream, XmlDocument, XmlNodeList and XmlNode. That’s a lot of classes just to read an RSS feed.
That’s too simple, especially when compared to the 70 lines of code I normally use to do the exact same thing.
Each “entry” element within the RSS feed represents a YouTube video. You are able to extrapolate all the important information about each movie such as Average Score, View Count, Thumbnail Images, Video Description, etc. Really useful stuff!
You may be thinking: Why should I use an RSS feed to retrieve the video information rather than using the YouTube API? Well, using a YouTube API is definitely the easier and most straight-forward method. But what you should be aware that the API only works from .NET 2.0 onwards. There isn’t a YouTube API for .NET 1.1. Unfortunately, I only found this out when I tried to implement the API into one of my .NET 1.1 client sites.
The code I have written below, reads the YouTube RSS feed and stores the information in a DataTable.
//Select all nodes starting with "entry"
//Iterate through each thumbnail and only get one thumbnail per <entry>. | 2019-04-23T12:07:03 | https://www.surinderbhomra.com/Blog/Tag/RSS-Feed |
In some parts of the world, University education is free. In other parts of the world, tuition is quite costly but largely subsidized by the government through financial aid. In the worst cases, higher education is not affordable for the average citizen, and obtaining financial help is a nightmare.
Is education really a basic right or is it something only the privileged can enjoy?
We found out how long students have to work to pay off education in 40 different countries. We also figured out if students can work part-time while studying to save for tuition.
It is important to note that students can take out loans, get government grants and scholarships to afford education. In this study, we didn't take this into account and made the worst possible case scenario.
Picture a girl named Sophie. She can't get government aid because her parents make too much money but don't want to pay for her education. She can't take out loans because she can't get a cosigner and had a falling out with her family. She also can't get a high paying job because every employer requires a degree. Her only option is to work at a grocery store for minimum wage and save up money to go to school.
What is the best country in the world for Sophie to be born in if she wants to go to University?
How much does a University degree cost in 40 countries?
If we just look at the cost of education alone, without factoring in minimum wage or how long a student has to save to afford it - United States turns out to be the absolutely worst country to go to school in.
Public University costs more in United States than in any of the other 40 countries.
Private University education in United States costs almost double the price of the 2nd most expensive country.
Our hypothetical student, Sophie, can get 3 separate private University degrees from France, Japan and Hong Kong before she can get a University education in the United States.
If you are born in most of the European countries you are in luck! University is free.
How many years does it take to save for tuition?
It is common for students that don't have money right away to work for a few years and save up for University. How many years do students in different countries have to work to save up? We are assuming students are working for minimum wage at a low skilled job.
In 70% of countries we studied students only have to work a year or less before paying off their entire degree.
Out of all developed countries, students in the United States and Hong Kong have to work the longest to afford public education. Students in the US have to work for 2.1 years to save up for tuition only.
Countries in Asia require students to work longer to save up for private education than countries in Europe. Given the minimum wage, education is quite affordable in China, India, Taiwan and Thailand. Students have to work for less than half a year to pay off their tuition.
Even though tuition costs are the highest in United States than anywhere else in the world, students don't have to work the longest amount of time to save up. The minimum hourly wage in some countries makes it impossible to save for education - for example Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Chile, Philippines.
It will still take 5.5 years for a student working minimum wage to pay off tuition in the US.
How many hours a week do students have to work?
Let's say a student wants to work while studying to pay off their tuition. We assumed that the average student will have 208 working weeks during their 4 years at University. How many hours will the students have to work a week to afford education?
Surprisingly, at the minimum wage of $7.25 students have to work 22 hours a week for 208 weeks to afford a public University degree in United States. If a rich uncle or scholarships cover the living expenses of a student, they can afford higher education by working part-time in the US.
If we are playing the Commonwealth "game" - students in Canada have to work the hardest to afford private education - at 12 hours a week. Followed by, 9 hours a week in the UK, 7 hours a week in Australia and 4 hours a week in New Zeland.
It is impossible to work part-time and pay off public school in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Chile.
Public education in India and China is surprisingly affordable. Well - more affordable than in the United States. Students only have to work 4 or 5 hours a week.
Students cannot work part time to pay for private tuition in 57% of the countries we studied.
United States isn't the only country where you can't work 20 hours a week to pay off tuition for a private University.
Only the privileged can afford private Universities in Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Philippines, Czech Republic and United States. Unless students get loans, grants of scholarships they have to opt out for public education in more than half of the countries.
This study does not take into account scholarships, government grants and other subsidies available to students that are academically excellent or that don't have the means to afford University.
We found both the public and private cost of University education in 40 different countries. We assumed students will be studying their Bachelor's degree for a 4 years period.
To find the number of months or years a student has to save for to afford a degree we found 1) the living wage in each country (monthly living expenses) 2) the low skilled wage (monthly amount someone can earn) or when this number was not available we used the monthly minimum wage and 3) education savings (monthly earnings minus monthly expenses). We divided the cost of a private or public degree by the average amount a student can save in a month.
last 4 months each. The total hours a student can work while receiving their education is 4928 hours.
The total amount a student can earn during their time at University was found by multiplying 4928 hours by the minimum hourly wage of each country.
living expenses for 48 months).
Trading Economics and Wage Indicator were used to find the [low skilled wages],minimum wages and individual living wages.
A variety of sources were used to calculate the private and public tuition rates for Universities - 1,2,3.
This is just the beginning of a series of blog posts looking at University education around the world. There is more to come! Notice how we didn't take living expenses into account in this study. We left the "real" comparison for our next post where we tell you in which countries it is possible to save for both living expenses and education while working at minimum wage.

You don’t have to change the info you includeayou just Need to Present the information to emphasize the skills your employer needs.

You are able to supplement what’s on the webpage with links to your work however, you need to motivate the hiring supervisor to take the excess step demanded.
When it is only generic information, you may want to leave it all out. You Might have a foundational resume which compellingly articulates the most critical info, states Heifetz, but you need to change it for every chance. Prioritize it ruthlessly to make sure the absolute most important information is at top. Contact information (email and a cell phone number) must go at the summit of your resume.
Traditionally, CVs are inclined to be organized in a Chronological format and makes it simple for the recruiter to get a summary of a individual’s full work livelihood.

The CV is your chance to demonstrate every bit of your nature and lifestyle and your accomplishments. The CV should contain all the information that you feel that the interviewer want to view in the interviewee.
The very first thing that a CV must do is get the attention of the Hiring manager or employer. Should you decide you need to submit a CV, remember that while there are not any specific formatting guidelines, you should use common sense to make a document that’s comprehensive and well organized.

Implementing a CV once the employer needs a resume could be an issue. There is zero reason an employer would have to understand exactly what you want. To start with, you’ve got to tell the facts about what you have got to provide to potential companies.
The occupation, the Current Market, and the institution wasn’t the ideal Match for me personally. If you want to relocate for work, you probably already know it is best to leave your present address off your resume. Alternatively, you need to tailor your resume for every job that you apply for.

Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, thinks Mohamud Noor needs to make up his mind. Kahn, one of the longest-tenured legislators in state history said she is not surprised to have a Democratic opponent for the party endorsement.
Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, thinks Mohamud Noor needs to make up his mind.
Kahn, one of the longest-tenured legislators in state history — having first been elected in 1972 — said she is not surprised to have a Democratic opponent for the party endorsement. She has frequently faced ambitious DFL challengers for the right to run in what is now House District 60B, a deep-blue Minneapolis district that virtually guarantees a long string of electoral victories for any Democrat.
What confuses Kahn is the trajectory of Noor’s career. Once a viable state Senate candidate for an open Minneapolis seat, Noor then shifted his attention to the Minneapolis School Board. Late last year, board members elected Noor to fill the seat left vacant by the sudden death of Hussein Samatar.
Just months after that appointment, Noor announced that he would challenge Kahn for the DFL endorsement in her district.
“I don’t understand how one runs one’s life like that,” said Kahn, who added that she had received an email from a constituent complaining about Noor’s disservice to the school board position.
By way of explanation, Noor said a seat in the Legislature would give him a platform to address a number of issues, including education, while the school board seat permits only a limited agenda. Noor said that he has always had his sights set on a position at the Capitol.
Perhaps just as important as Noor’s own ambitions are those of Somali-Americans who live in Kahn’s district. Following the election of Minneapolis City Council member Abdi Warsame, some activists in that politically engaged community are sensing a groundswell that could make Noor the first Somali-American legislator in the country.
As evidence of the force propelling Noor into the race, he pointed to his campaign announcement event, which saw hundreds of energetic supporters pack the gymnasium at the Brian Coyle Center.
Kahn, meanwhile, is comfortable with her established rapport with the Somali community, citing relationships that go back two decades. Last year, she endorsed Warsame’s bid for the City Council, and she said he plans to return the favor in her re-election campaign.
Veteran DFL politico Brian Rice, who has assisted Kahn on campaigns in the past, points out that Warsame’s Ward 6 seems specifically carved out to provide for East African representation at the city level. There is no such legislative district currently in existence. In fact, Ward 6 is made up of pieces of four different House districts.
Rice said he met with Noor prior to his announcement and tried to warn him about this reality, saying only 80 of the district’s 281 endorsement delegates would hail from areas with “significant” East African populations.
Jamal Abdulahi echoed Rice’s analysis. As chair of the Minnesota DFL Somali-American Caucus, Abdulahi has been thinking for some time about how that constituency might achieve representation in the Legislature. Abdulahi’s initial reaction to news of Noor’s announcement was to question whether the candidate had done proper research on the district.
In 2012, DFL organizer Mike Griffin spent more than six months pounding the pavement trying to win the party endorsement in Kahn’s district. Griffin, a recent University of Minnesota graduate, focused his efforts on the University campus area, working to convince students to participate in the party endorsement process. Griffin said the student population, often considered transient and unmotivated, is still available to be stirred in 2014.
Though it took three ballots, Kahn survived Griffin’s challenge. Looking back on that contest, Kahn said many supporters met her door-knocking with dismissive laughter, saying the incumbent was a “shoo-in,” and telling her not to worry about Griffin.
To this point, Noor has only stated that he plans to seek the party endorsement, and has not explicitly addressed whether he might decide to force Kahn to a primary. There, the consistently high turnout from the Somali community could be a boon to Noor. But Abdulahi emphasized the reality that, with primaries taking place in summer months, the potentially winnable student population is largely absent at the time of the vote.
Noor’s previous Senate campaign — which he eventually lost in a primary to Sen. Kari Dziedzic, DFL-Minneapolis — got off to an impressive start, as he won the endorsements of TakeAction Minnesota, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees (MAPE) union, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and Stonewall DFL, the LGBT caucus for the state’s Democrats. Observers of Noor’s newest quest point out that it’s easier to gain that support in an open field, as opposed to convincing a group to switch allegiances: Kahn already has the endorsement of each of the groups that backed Noor in 2011.
For his part, Noor said he plans to pursue the same organizational strategy as in the past, though he admitted it would be more complicated. If the support of key organizations does not materialize, he is confident that his work ethic and personal connections will see him to victory.
Reached Thursday evening, Noor said he had barely slept the night before, explaining that he had been spending time with people affected by the Cedar-Riverside apartment fire that killed at least two people and injured more than a dozen. | 2019-04-26T16:45:07 | https://minnlawyer.com/2014/01/03/noor-challenges-kahn-for-minneapolis-seat/ |

Here Jubilee Centre discusses what we think is important for short term mission programmes. Sharing together canbe a powerful experience for all involved if people come to the partnership ready to learn from one another. In the article we look at why we think global partnerships and exchanges for learning are a good idea, what people can give and receive if they are part of the programme, as well as providing a checklist of do’s and don’ts for people coming to visit us. We hope this will be just one stage in the journey and that you will carry on being involved in global issues through campaigning, living ethically, giving and praying on a long term basis.
We want our visitors to be able to empower the communities they partner with through listening to them and using local knowledge during your interactions. This is important to us as local people are the experts in their own lives. As a result we have produced some facilitators guidelines that show how you can hear from the people you are working with. We ask all of our visitors to read and to think about how they will incorporate the ideas into their teachings and interactions with the Zambian communities they meet.
In this interview with Christianity Today, Bishop Zac Niringiye discusses the relationships between international churches, especially in the light of short term missions. You can read the article here along with some questions to help you think about your role in the global church.
Read this article to find out more about the traditions of the Ubantu culture which is a broad culture that spans eastern and southern Africa. As international partners work together the Zambian author, Chiku Malunga, calls for new ideas to be grafted onto existing indigenous cultures, rather than simply uprooting them and transplanting foreign models. He also believes that to promote ongoing behavioural change in leaders, it is essential to tap into the energy, commitment and authenticity that reside within the culture concerned.

When it comes to diversity in fashion, it’s clear there’s still a long way to go. Despite high profile moves (like the epic Rihanna being recently appointed as the first black spokesperson for Dior), recent figures showed that roughly eight out of ten models walking Fashion Week are white. Model Nykhor Paul recently spoke out on Instagram about make-up artists backstage not having the right make-up for darker skin tones, with Jourdan Dunn echoing the same struggles.
And not just in a tokenistic way, either – “The concept of token models of colour at fashion shows is still very much alive,” they say. “And don’t get me started on campaign figures.” The girls on their page demonstrate that, despite what the runways would have you believe, there are many incredible diverse models out there. @moremodelsofcolor counts new faces Amelia Rami, Nora Attal, Pooja Mor, Amilna Estevão, Alice Metza, Achok Majak and Yuan Bo Chao as their favourites. Lets hope we see more of these girls on the runway very soon. | 2019-04-23T05:03:22 | http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/26269/1/this-instagram-is-calling-for-better-diversity-in-fashion |

Some consumers have expressed concerns over the safety of using a smartphone enabled with near-field communication technology to deal with credit card debt, but Google says that its new digital payment service is more secure than traditional purchases.
Google Wallet, the new mobile card payment service from the ubiquitous tech giant, is said to be considerably safer for consumers to use than typical cards due to the technology involved, according to a report from the International Business Times. For example, the chip that sends the payment data cannot be tampered with because it self-destructs when removed from the device, and is only active when transmitting information.
Several studies have shown that consumers are overall willing to adopt digital wallet payment methods, but have said their primary fear is whether their information would be easier to access. | 2019-04-18T14:42:14 | https://www.consolidatedcredit.org/financial-news/google-wallet-service-said-to-be-secure/ |

"I'm enjoying my Mastermind very much - it was definitely the right decision for me to join at this point in my business journey and it's great to be amongst women who are travelling their own path shoulder to shoulder. Your experience, knowledge and skills are able to lift business owners to where they need to be because you provide both emotional support and practical advice."
We’re fortunate to be businesswomen today – the opportunities available for us to turn our knowledge and experience into an enterprise are endless. It’s relatively easy to set up at home with a laptop and be connected to the world. That’s the way I started way back in 2004.
But there is also a flipside to the opportunity coin. Overwhelm and a feeling of isolation, of having to do it all alone, can be a common part of the business journey as you try to prioritise and stay focused on your goals and be seen and heard in an increasingly noisy online world.
I know the value of connection, support, encouragement, an infusion of new ideas and an honest sounding board to keep you buoyant, motivated, confident and clear so you can consistently move forward in your Next Chapter Business.
And those benefits are just the beginning of what you experience in a Business Mastermind that’s carefully curated and thoughtfully facilitated.
Next Chapter Business Masterminds are strong and creative.
I bring together women from a wide range of service-based industries, locations and experience in small and intimate groups where diverse and synergistic thinking provides a consistently powerful boost for you and your business.
We dig deep into your business and help you prioritise and focus with umbrella goals, cascade plans and core strategies to implement. Having the brainpower and support of a small group of smart women absolutely committed to you and your business success is a powerful experience.
Most importantly, there is no specific curriculum we follow in a Mastermind (although there is access to a great many valuable resources). Instead, you are met exactly where you are at now, and provided with the insight and guidance that you need, at the present time.
You’ll accomplish much more, with more ease, with your support team beside you than you ever would on your own!
Who is a Next Chapter Business Mastermind for?
Which Business Mastermind is right for you?
The Circle Masterminds are a great fit for women in the first 2-5 years of business. You'll have clear services, often one on one, and are attracting clients, but you’ll also likely describe the development of your business model as a little haphazard, and you know that it needs refining and has great potential with further clarity on your message and marketing. You're likely to be generating an annual five-figure income and are keen to increase your reach and to leverage your time.
The Diamond Masterminds are intended for women who have been in business for 5+ years and are typically offering services in the Business to Business space, commonly working with corporate clients and often in the professional services field. You might have staff and are looking for ways to streamline your business, make more time for you and ensure your growth aligns with your personal goals and vision for sustainability. Annual revenue projections in six or multiple six figures is anticipated.
Running a business is hard. Running a business alongside women who get it is easier. You'll find those remarkable women in a Mastermind and it will quite literally, change your life.
A mastermind is a carefully curated space where a small group of people regularly meet to discuss challenges, brainstorm solutions and ideas, share resources and recommendations, provide feedback and unwavering support as they create the next chapters of their business.
The myriad of competing priorities and demands on your time and energy are very real challenges. Bright shiny options can also take you off course and the humdrum of the day-to-day running of your business can both distract and overwhelm you. Your mastermind group will keep you seeing the big picture, reminding you of why you are in business, what you’re committed to and the overarching purpose that underpins your tasks. They’ll help keep you inspired, focused and clear, anchored to your vision.
Your Mastermind colleagues very quickly become business allies and friends, an instant expansion to your Network at a deep level. The level of trust and connection you build has a synergistic effect as usually tap into the networks of the group as well. Strategic alliances, recommendations, cross promotions and more have their roots in your Mastermind.
That's just the tip of the Mastermind Iceberg!
The best way forward is for us to have a wholehearted conversation so I can understand what it is that you want to create and we can both make a call on which Mastermind is the best fit for you and your goals.

Browse top 284 famous quotes and sayings about Partial by most favorite authors.
1. "Facts and values are entangled in science. It's not because scientists are biased, not because they are partial or influenced by other kinds of interests, but because of a commitment to reason, consistency, coherence, plausibility and replicability. These are value commitments."
2. "You can, in short, lead the life of the mind, which is, despite some appalling frustrations, the happiest life on earth. And one day, in the thick of this, approaching some partial vision, you will (I swear) find yourself on the receiving end of - of all things - an "idea for a story," and you will, God save you, start thinking about writing some fiction of your own. Then you will understand, in what I fancy might be a blinding flash, that all this passionate thinking is what fiction is about, that all those other fiction writers started as you did, and are laborers in the same vineyard."
3. "A wave of embarrassment washed over him, and he checked to see if any of his posters had noticed. They stayed put, emotionless and impartial."
4. "Encounters taking the form of challenge-and-response are the most illuminating kind of events a for student of human affairs if he believes, as I believe, that one of the most distinctive characteristics of Man is the he is partially free to make choices.... Encounters are the occasions in human life on which freedom and creativity come into play and on which new things are brought into existence."
6. "I think that the failures of Enron and WorldCom and other companies are partially failures of investors to recognize companies that are selling for a thousand times nothing, but chances are they may be worth only that."
7. "Strangers are only offensive when they offer courteous greetings. It abolishes the impartial judgment needed for a just society."
8. "My list of basic tools is a partial answer to the question about what has changed: Over the past few years, large numbers of programmers have come to depend on elaborate tools to interface code with systems facilities."
9. "Near the docks downtown he swerves off the highway and races the cab toward the end of a deserted parking area and it hits me somewhere, now, this moment, when he drives into and then over a dilapidated, rust-covered aluminum fence, heading toward water, that all I have to do is put the Walkman on, blot out the sound of the cabdriver, but my hands are twisted into paralyzed fists that I can't unclench, held captive in the cab as it hurtles toward a destination only the cabdriver, who is obviously deranged, knows. The windows are rolled down partially and I can feel the cool morning air drying the mousse on my scalp. I feel naked, suddenly tiny. My mouth tastes metallic, then it gets worse. My vision: a winter road. But I'm left with one comforting thought: I am rich - millions are not."
10. "Honor was the light that flooded my darkness. She was the glasses to my partially blind eyes. Her kisses were like balm to my wounded soul. Her determination to survive even when odds were against her was my wakeup call."
11. "Every reading is partial, but that does not absolve us from the quest for meaning, which defines us as a species."
12. "Children can feel, but they cannot analyse their feelings; and if the analysis is partially effected in thought, they know not how to express the result of the process in words."
13. "A rumor is a social cancer: it is difficult to contain and it rots the brains of the masses. However, the real danger is that so many people find rumors enjoyable. That part causes the infection. And in such cases when a rumor is only partially made of truth, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the information may have gone wrong. It is passed on and on until some brave soul questions its validity; that brave soul refuses to bite the apple and let the apple eat him. Forced to start from scratch for the sake of purity and truth, that brave soul, figuratively speaking, fully amputates the information in order to protect his personal judgment. In other words, his ignorance is to be valued more than the lie believed to be true."
14. "Manhattan was a no-man's land, empty, an unofficial demilitarized zone between Partials and the human survivors. No one was supposed to be here, not because it was forbidden but because it was dangerous. If something happened to you out here, either side could get you, and neither side could protect you."
15. "To engage in activism that envisions alternatives ways of organizing society and alternative ways of being is to risk membership in society, a sense of belonging, however partial it may be. Activism can make us vulnerable because it is so obviously about wanting something beyond what is, and to have a political desire often is construed as wanting too much."
16. "Getting a handle on why wolves do what they do has never been an easy proposition. Not only are there tremendous differences in both individual and pack personalities, but each displays a surprising range of behaviors depending on what's going on around them at any given time. No sooner will a young researcher thing, 'That's it, I've finally got a handle on how wolves respond in a particular situation,' than they'll do something to prove him at least partially wrong. Those of us who've been in this business for very long have come to accept a professional life full of wrong turns and surprises. Clearly, this is an animal less likely to offer scientists irrefutable facts than to lure us on a long and crooked journey of constant learning."
17. "A blind Justice is merely an impartial Justice. True Justice would have eyes in the back of her head and a pair of mismatched shoes."
18. "To deal with the true causes of war one must begin by recognizing as of prime relevancy to the solution of the problem the familiar fact that civilization is a partial, incomplete, and, to a great extent, superficial modification of barbarism."
19. "It all made sense — terrible sense. The panic she had experienced in the warehouse district because of not knowing what had happened had been superseded at the newsstand by the even greater panic of partial knowledge. And now the torment of partly knowing had yielded to the infinitely greater terror of knowing precisely"
20. "As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe."
21. "But man is so partial to systems and abstract conclusions that he is ready to distort the truth, ready to hear nor see anything, as long as he can justify his logic."
22. "He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye."
23. "As long as the appointment process is transparent and there is a broad mix of political views among the governors of the BBC, I think the public can feel confident that impartiality and independence are just as important to me as they have been to previous incumbents."
24. "So let me help you out. My favorite color is-hell, I don't know. I've never cared enough to think about it. My favorite movie is-what else-ZOMBIELAND. But not because the good guys win in the end, though that's a plus, but because Emma Stone is hot."I snorted. He was SUCH a guy."My favorite band is-""Let me guess," I interjected. "White Zombie? Slayer?""Red. And no, not just because I want zombies to bleed.What about you? Who do you like? Because honestly, I'm surprised you know White Z and Slayer.""I like Red,too, but I'm partial to Skillet. Used to listen to them with my sister. But why wouldn't I know the other bands?""You look so angelic.""And do you think angels are hot?" I asked primly, trying to play it cool so that I wouldn't reveal what a mess I was on the inside. All this time, he'd wanted to get to know me and date me. What craziness!"The hottest."
25. "Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process, not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging, but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best."
26. "No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it."
27. "Some years ago I adjourned with a friend to a nearby schoolyard net for a recreational hit. On the way, we exchanged philosophies of cricket, and a few personal partialities. What, my friend asked, did I consider my favourite shot? 'Easy,' I replied ingenuously. 'Back-foot defensive stroke.'My friend did a double take and demanded a serious response. When I informed him he'd had one, he scoffed: 'You'll be telling me that Chris Tavaré's your favourite player next.' My guilty hesitation gave me away. 'You Poms!' he protested. 'You all stick together!"
28. "Of course it was painful, and there were times when, emotionally, I just wanted to chuck it all. But pain seems to be a precondition for this kind of sport. If pain weren't involved, who in the world would ever go to the trouble of taking part in sports like the triathlon or the marathon, which demand such an investment of time and energy? It's precisely because of the pain, precisely because we want to overcome that pain, that we can get the feeling, through this process, of really being alive--or at least a partial sense of it. Your quality of experience is based not on standards such as time or ranking, but on finally awakening to an awareness of the fluidity within action itself."
29. "I grunted. It's something I picked up over a fifteen-year career in law enforcement. Men have managed to create a complex and utterly impenetrable secret language consisting of monosyllabic sounds and partial words—and they are apparently too thick to realize it exists. Maybe they really are from Mars. I'd been able to learn a few Martian phrases over time, and one of the useful ones was the grunt that meant "I acknowledge that I've heard what you said; please continue."
30. "Many slaves on this continent are oppressed, and their cries have reached the ears of the Most High. Such are the purity and certainty of his judgments, that he cannot be partial in our favor."
31. "My master likewise mentioned another Quality which his Servants had discovered in several Yahoos, and to him was wholly unaccountable. He said, a Fancy would sometimes take a Yahoo, to retire into a Corner, to lie down and howl, and groan, and spurn away all that came near him, although he were young and fat, wanted neither Food nor Water; nor did the Servants imagine what could possibly ail him. And the only Remedy they found was to set him to hard Work, after which he would infallibly come to himself. To this I was silent out of Partiality to my own Kind; yet here I could plainly discover the true Seeds of Spleen, which only seizeth on the Lazy, the Luxurious, and the Rich; who, if they were forced to undergo the same Regimen I would undertake for the Cure."
32. "News of the miracle had reached the doge's palace, but in a somewhat garbled form. the result of the successive transmissions of facts, true or assumed, real or purely imaginary, based on everything from partial, more or less eyewitness accounts to reports from those who simply liked the sound of their own voice, for, as we know all too well, no one telling a story can resist adding a period, and sometimes even a comma."
33. "No young woman of good breeding should show exclusive partiality to one partner all night."
34. "When I returned to partial life my face was wet with tears. How long that state of insensibility had lasted I cannot say. I had no means now of taking account of time. Never was solitude equal to this, never had any living being been so utterly forsaken."
35. "If Anthony Weaver knew anything, it was this: That life and love and country and duty…that all of these things faded in time. They came and went with the impartial cruelty of the Indian sun. But sin and sin alone is eternal."
36. "Speransky, either because he appreciated Prince Andrey's abilities or because he thought it as well to secure his adherence, showed off his calm, impartial sagacity before Prince Andrey, and flattered him with that delicate flattery that goes hand in hand with conceit, and consists in a tacit assumption that one's companion and oneself are the only people capable of understanding all the folly of the rest of the world and the sagacity and profundity of their own ideas."
37. "John," I murmured, rising from the bed and going to stand by the table, staring down in astonishment at the gold-rimmed china plates and intricately embroidered napkins in sapphire rings. "How did all of this get here?""Oh," he said casually. "It just does. Coffee?" He lifted a gleaming silver pot. "Or do I seem to remember you being more partial to tea?" His grin was wicked.I gave him a sarcastic look-it was a cup of tea I'd thrown into his face to escape from the Underworld the last time-then sank down into the chair where the bird was perched."
38. "Nor do piecemeal steps however well intended, even partially resolve problems that have reached a universal, global and catastrophic Character. If anything, partial `solutions' serve merely as cosmetics to conceal the deep seated nature of the ecological crisis. They thereby deflect public attention and theoretical insight from an adequate understanding of the depth and scope of the necessary changes."
39. "I steal one glance over my shoulder as soon as we are far from the foreboding luminance of the neon glow, and it is there that my stomach leaps into my throat. Squatting just shy of the light and partially concealed by the shade of an alley is a sinister silhouette beneath a crimson cowl, beaming a demonic smile which spans from cheek to swollen cheek."
40. "Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life."
41. "Believing that Sibel was saying these things to me to make me angry, I got angry. But this is not to say that the fury owed nothing to my partial awareness that she was right."
42. "A good judge is not one who is impartial, but one who has prejudice for good."
43. "The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in meOlder and harder than life and more impartial, the eye that watched before there was an ocean."
44. "Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods."
45. "Why do so many today want to wander off to South Africa or Kenya or India or Russia or Honduras or Costa Rica or Peru to help with justice issues but not spend the same effort in their own neighborhood or community or state? Why do young suburbanites, say in Chicago, want to go to Kentucky or Tennessee to help people but not want to spend that same time to go to the inner city in their own area to help with justice issues? I asked this question to a mature student in my office one day, and he thought he had a partial explanation: 'Because my generation is searching for experiences, and the more exotic and extreme the better. Going down the street to help at a food shelter is good and it is just and some of us are doing that, but it's not an experience. We want experiences."
46. "When heuristics don't yield the results we expect, you'd think we would eventually realize that something's wrong. Even if we don't locate the biases, we should be able to see the discrepancy between what we wanted and what we got, right? Well, not necessarily. As it turns out, we have biases that support our biases! If we're partial to one option—perhaps because it's more memorable, or framed to minimize loss, or seemingly consistent with a promising pattern—we tend to search for information that will justify choosing that option. On the one hand, it's sensible to make choices that we can defend with data and a list of reasons. On the other hand, if we're not careful, we're likely to conduct an imbalanced analysis, falling prey to a cluster of errors collectively known as "confirmation biases."
47. "King: Should I specify for the realm what religion will be acceptable in this Kingdom, as the Emperor in the East did?Titus: If you are of such sagacity, my Lord, that you know all the secrets of the Universe, you would be remiss if you did not specify the acceptable religion. But if you, too, are mortal, and your understanding is partial, I would think it arrogant to dictate to the people how they should approach Existence. Each has his own understanding, and each his own ability to understand."
48. "Impartial, compassionate, brave, and understanding…these are the traits that come with putting the Noble Eightfold Path into practice. By following this path, anyone can become the kind of leader the Buddha hoped to see—a leader of peace."
49. "Since we place so much value on human life, why do we glorify, in a perverse sort of way, the extinguishment of life? The answer to that question, whatever it is, is at least a partial answer to why people continue to be fascinated by Hitler, Jack the Ripper—Manson."
50. "It seems that a profound, impartial, and absolutely just opinion of our fellow-creatures is utterly unknown. Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows. And why, if this -- and much more than this is true -- why are we yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most solid, the best known to us--why indeed? For the moment after we know nothing about him.Such is the manner of our seeing. Such the conditions of our love."
We make our own choices, and then we present the matter to the Lord and get his approving, ratifying seal." | 2019-04-24T16:31:36 | http://topfamousquotes.com/quotes-about-partial/ |

It's a child's first day of kindergarten, but who is worried about all the new people and the different things he'll meet--the child? No! The mother.

The designated registration dates and times are e-mailed to currently enrolled students prior to registration. Registration dates and times are also posted on the registration week schedule and available on My.NMU.
New freshmen and transfer students register for courses during the new student orientation program.
Prior to actual registration, you can review which courses are being offered for the upcoming semester by going to My.NMU and selecting the appropriate link for current or incoming student, then the semester for which you will be registering, and finally the department in which a course would be offered. You can also create customized search parameters, such as indicating you want classes that take place during a specific time range, on a particular day or online. After submitting the semester of registration, you are encouraged to completely review the full registration screen that comes up, which will familiarize you with your course registration search options.
Go to MyNMU and log in using your NMU user ID and password. If you do not know your user ID or password, go to myuser.nmu.edu to look it up or reset it.

Click on the Academic Services tab.
Under the Registration heading, click on Add or Drop Classes.
Select the semester for which you are registering and click submit.
If you are at your assigned registration time or past it, you can begin registering for classes. You will need the course registration number or CRN. This number will be to the far left in the course offering list.
If a course you are trying to register for is full, there may be a waitlist available. For more information on what courses have waitlists and how to use them, click here.

Do you have a registration hold?
On the Web, go to MyNMU.
Click the Student Services tab at the top of the page.
Click the Academic Services tab.
Under the Student Records heading, click View Holds.
Your registration date/time hold may be displayed to prevent you from registering early. Any other administrative holds listed need to be addressed and removed before you can register. You can learn about the various types of holds here.
To have the registration hold removed, contact the university office or department that placed the registration hold. Only the office or department that placed the registration hold can lift the hold. | 2019-04-20T04:25:22 | https://www.nmu.edu/registrar/node/35 |
