Many people who have begun their own journeys in the encaustic art medium might believe that the simple iron made landscapes are the shape they are just because of the rounded shape of the iron’s base-plate. But the thing that actually gave me the confidence and visual ‘memory’ to begin my own voyage into landscape with an iron was this hill in west Wales, known as Foel Drygarn. It is an ancient Iron Age Hill fort located at the eastern end of the Preseli hills. The Preseli range is a national park and has lovely bleak open spaces and lots of blue stones, even accepted as the quarry for the 29 inner stones of the world famous Stone Henge. In this blog look at the basics of iron landscape I have speeded myself up to make it all a bit shorter. But the important information is still in there. That’s the beauty of video !! There are a couple more video shots almost at the end, of other similar hill shapes in the Preseli hills close to where I live.
Thank you Michael for your inspiration,encaustic art is pure magic ,what a wonderful way to step into this magical world of colour ,great to share this with friends too, blessings &light jenny. | 2019-04-23T20:09:25 | https://michaelbossom.com/mb-blog-01-basic-landscape-foel-drygarn/ |

Traverse City – We’ve Moved!
3,2,1 — done! With our three best practices for hearing protection this holiday, the only thing you’ll have to worry about is snagging the best viewing spot.
There are so many things to think about during the 4th of July. Those burgers aren’t going to grill themselves, you remembered to set your chairs out early for this year’s parade, and the kids all have matching red, white, and blue outfits. To help you out, we’re going to make this easy yet essential to-do for you: Protect your family’s hearing this holiday.
The bangs and booms from fireworks can cause serious hearing damage, with sounds reaching 150 decibels (dB) at 3 feet.
For adults, the recommendation from the World Health Organization is not to be exposed to more than 140 decibels (dB) of peak sound pressure (like a firearm or a jet engine); children shouldn’t be exposed to more than 120 dB (like a jet plane takeoff or a siren). Because of their sensitivity to noise, children under 12 months should not be exposed to fireworks.
Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dB (like a snow blower or a bulldozer) can cause hearing loss. The bigger the boom, the less time it takes for damage to happen. Exposure to loud sounds such as fireworks can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. These ailments can affect all ages.
The farther away you get from the fireworks explosions, the further you get from hurting your hearing. When dealing with fireworks of 170 dB, adults need to be 50 to 65 feet away (at least the length of a school bus). Kids need to be 165 to 200 feet away (about half of an NFL football field) from the same fireworks.
While at the store to grab things to grill, pick up some foam earplugs. This inexpensive hearing protection is portable, easy to use, and will make you pretty popular at your 4th of July party if you bring extras!
Pro Tip: For best use, roll the earplug between your fingers before placing it in your ear. This allows it to expand in your ear canal, giving you more sound protection.
Declare your dedication to hearing health by sporting earmuffs — no, not the fuzzy ones. We’re talking about those heavy-duty ones that are great for not only fireworks, but also monster-truck shows, arenas, and working with power tools. Look for soft, padded ear cups with a slim headband so the earmuffs will stay in place comfortably. Those soft ear cups will help air circulation over the ear to keep your head cool. You can even find foldable, easy-to-carry earmuffs, as well as ones in fun colors for the kids.
If you want more information about hearing protection or customized solutions for you and your family, contact us today — we’re here to help. Enjoy sporting your stars, stripes, and hearing protection, and have a happy 4th of July!
If you don't personally have cochlear implants, it can be hard to know what the experience is like for people who do. This video gives those with normal hearing a glimpse into the life of someone with implants.
Years ago, it was common practice to use only one hearing aid, even when the hearing loss was in both ears. But there are a lot of benefits to wearing two, including balancing sounds and improved hearing in noisy environments.
One hearing aid or two hearing aids?
While many people in today's society focus heavily on the monetary costs or benefits when making decisions, when it comes to hearing, the non-monetary benefits should be where the focus lies.

We promote, but do not require, Python as a scripting language over Perl because in our opinion it is a cleaner language. A nice alternative to Python is Ruby.
The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and many other platforms. If your favorite system isn’t listed here, it may still be supported, if there’s a C compiler for it. Ask around on news:comp.lang.python – or just try compiling Python yourself. | 2019-04-25T02:35:33 | https://assignments.lrde.epita.fr/tools/python.html |

This is another long one (19:57), but I think a lot of people will enjoy the content.
You’ll likely notice that I’ve used a slightly different video player this time around – this one includes links to the other two videos (which show up once the video ends) – so if you happened to miss those ones you can easily check them out as well.
You will ALSO likely have noticed that I added a box in the sidebar to show Mark’s waste tally. I think it will be a lot of fun for us all to follow along as Mark continues his journey towards 2000 lb (and beyond). I’m amazed that he’s already added ~250 lb (as of the time of this writing)! Pretty cool.
Thanks again to Mark for putting together this video series! I am certainly looking forward to all his future OSCR (and other) updates!
How do the coffee filters keep the worms from crawling up the sides of the bin?
It is interesting to see all of the various worm bins and how individuals run their set ups. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.
The bin area is more rich with food, the worms don’t find much food in the coffee filters but, if I dig around there are plenty of worms under the filters.
Mark great video, when it was over i said “Already?” You have got me checking out the Vermico sight. And wishing i had enough feed stock for such a large bin.
Listening to your videos i sounds like you are feeding every other day or so. With the bin processing so fast and your worm herd increasing so quickly. Do you plan to keep feeding the same amounts, feeding larger feedings or feeding more often?
I started to find some hot spots (88 degrees) and decided to stop feeding for about a week. I don’t really have a regular feeding day.
I just go with the “flow”.
Mark, my avocado shells do not break down too fast. Usually when I harvest the compost the shells are broken, dried and still there. I imagine they disappear but I keep tossing them back into my tubs/boxes. My pits seem to stay the same form, but I usually find the worms all over the things. I have not had one grow yet. Sounds interesting. Oh, I am still working to get back to Iowa to work with my brother to build a metal one of these. I will let you know if that ever works out.
btw… you must have a very understanding and forgiving wife to let you take up your garage with your bin of worms and garbage. Bless her!
Mark, thanks for sharing the video.
I was thinking, if you money to make one out of metal, use aluminum.
Just weld fast and hot!
And thank you Letty is very supportive.
Thanks for the tip. It was an idea that I got from a book.
Great video!! I showed my husband your huge worm “house” and asked him to finish the flow through for me. He did!!! Now my worms have a much bigger home. I am trying to keep my new flow through bin warm though. I love to see your worms and how much you feed them. They seem to polish everything off fast too. Keep the news coming.
Thank you very much! It’s starting to get cold here in south central Kansas. Keep me posted. | 2019-04-22T11:16:14 | https://www.redwormcomposting.com/worm-bins/mark%E2%80%99s-oscr-videos-%E2%80%93-part-iii/ |

is a modest sandy garden.
proud above their pebbled bed.
lies not yet cold on jagged rocks.
about the pools and alien paths.
and pads sadly away into nowhere.
for his faithful old mongrel friend.
The beach lies deserted and quiet.
of small waves lapping on shingle.
golden fleur de lys, symbols of privilege and power.
were enchanted, goblin made in silvered thistle down.
silk and the thud of steel cold lance on leather shield.
Lords joust, ladies play, but peasants all must work.
of ripe fruit, eats and takes his ease as best he can.
draw high stocked carts through the hot afternoon.
mutely submit, helpless in a divinely ordered world.
is sometimes blind and freedom may be a burden.
weep in the darkness for their dying children.
poor men lie awake and pray for a better life to come.
in the bleak church yard their peasants lie forgotten.
were broken on the spokes of Catherine’s cruel wheel.
shattered streets and dreams of a new world crumbled.
for one another should at last become the only rule? | 2019-04-18T22:21:03 | http://naomi3.blogspot.com/2013/10/ |
CAPE CORAL, Fla. - The National Weather Service office in Tampa Bay issued a Tornado Warning for Lee County at 6:50 PM Saturday night. However, a later report reveals there was already a tornado on the ground at 6:45 PM.
By 6:52, the tornado had fizzled out in Cape Coral.
The National Weather Service issued a Special Marine Warning at 4:30 PM, lasting until 6:30 PM to warn boaters of potential water spouts before conditions escalated quickly.
"When it hit Pine island Sound, something happened with the friction or the effects of the coastline and we've seen that," said Robert Garcia, Meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
The Storm Prediction Center had also warned of potential severe weather Saturday afternoon.
Garcia tells Four In Your Corner's Tony Sadiku tornadoes often spin up with little warning, and people should always be ready with a plan of action. "The tornado threat isn't necessarily going to be visible or during the day. It's probably going to be at night. So stay weather aware, get the weather radios ready," Garcia said.
It's also important to have multiple ways of getting weather information, like TVs, radios and apps like Storm Shield . Since tornados in El Niño years often happen at night, a source of information that can wake you up at night is often critical.
The best place to be in an active tornado situation is in the most interior part of your home on the lowest level, like a closet or bathroom. | 2019-04-22T00:01:09 | https://www.fox4now.com/news/national-weather-service-addresses-delay-in-tornado-warning |

This is the reincarnation of a very popular pop up seafood restaurant that was in Little Venice last summer. The new setting is an old pub on the dodgier end of King’s Road just past World’s End.
I went there with a friend for a quick pre movie meal and it was really hard to find as the signage is not exactly obvious, especially if you don’t know where it is. All the neighbouring shops had no idea of it’s existence either. So this caused us to have even less time to spend at this place.
When we finally got there, we had to walk through the restaurant on the ground floor which is meant to be an American Diner. The strange decor of black and red looked more like a 1980s disco. Summerhouse is on the first floor and thankfully, it is decorated like a beach house and was totally refreshing. We were the only people there. Being the first week, it probably hadn’t got on anyone’s radar yet.
The dining room doesn’t have many seats and I expect it could get very loud when full as it’s all hard surfaces. If you go on a warm day, there is a little terrace where they have squeezed in a few al fresco tables.
Seeing as we only had time for one course, we had the fish and chips and the grilled sole. The battered fish was perfectly crisp with really well cooked chips. The portions were enormous. I wanted to try the Maryland crab cakes but they weren’t on this menu but could be on that of the diner downstairs.
The new team of staff were over eager to help but were not been briefed about the menu or even what to do. I guess this can only improve with time. Our quick meal was perfectly decent and I love the vibe of the dining room so I will be back when they have had some time to warm up. Our meal was £30 for 2 (with the soft opening discount).
The Summerhouse at The World’s End Restaurant.
hmmm or nobody else had your dogged determination in actually finding it!
You are probably right. The food was good so if hope more people find them. | 2019-04-25T12:53:09 | https://eatcookexplore.com/summerhouse-at-worlds-end/ |
Over the last week in March, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) installed a new community ocean observatory at Kitamaat Village, on the northern coast of British Columbia. Similar installations were installed at Digby Island, near Prince Rupert, and at Campbell River.
Crew from the M/V Crown Royal lay cable that links the underwater observatory to the shore station at Kitamaat Village.
The village is located at the head of Douglas Channel on the north coast of British Columbia. Today, the Haisla people and the Haisla Nation are centered around Kitamaat Village, which is located approximately 10 kilometres south of Kitimat, British Columbia.
Coastal communities are facing a wide range of rapid environmental changes that are impacting their local ocean. On 30 March, ONC hosted an interactive community launch event and information session in Kitamaat Village to celebrate the deployment of this new observatory and explain how the community can access these data.
The new Kitimaat Village – Haisla Territory Community Observatory includes an underwater cabled seafloor platform equipped with a live-streaming video camera, instruments that record local water quality, and a hydrophone that records the underwater sounds of whales and the noise caused by ships.
On land, a weather station with a co-located automatic identification system tracks ships and above-ground video camera monitors environmental conditions 24/7. All the observatory data are streamed in real time to a shore station in the village and from there, to Oceans 2.0, ONC’s advanced data management system.
Data are freely available for viewing on the observatory web page. | 2019-04-26T09:56:45 | http://www.oceannetworks.ca/new-observatory-comes-kitamaat-village |

Once upon a time, on an unassuming Thursday not long before lunchtime, a proposal to Dominique Logan* that she buy a salad for lunch was all-too swiftly rebuffed by the misinformed proclamation that she had a ‘problem’ with ‘paying money for salads.‘ Salads, continued Ms Logan, like a freight train hurtling down a path of philological devastation, are not worthy of her currency due to their lack of substance. It was at that moment that Ms Logan, bless her ignorance, showed her true colours as another cog in the anti-linguistic salad conspiracy.
This misuse of the term ‘salad’, regrettably, is not confined to the above anecdote. It has become a widespread issue among the food-consuming population of the English-speaking world and, second only to climate change (a likely UN conspiracy), poses the greatest risk to our way of life since the advent of the immigrant.
I have therefore decided to take the matter of this ‘word terrorism’ into my own hands. I am writing to set the record straight: a salad is not just an open assortment of cold vegetables.
In these calamitous postmodern times, there are those language descriptivists who would openly posit the above definition. These language saboteurs, known in context as ‘salad compositionalists’, disparage not only the hallowed salad tradition, but their Latin-speaking ancestors who conceived the very term they purport to comprehend.
Salads are more prevalent in the food world than the Big Sandwich cartel would have you believe. We need only look to the etymological root of the term to learn its true meaning. ‘Salad’ is a derivation of ‘sal’, the Latin word for salt. It can thus be inferred that it is not the composition of a dish that gives it a ‘saladic’ nature, but it’s salty seasoning - added at the moment of completion.
The implications are clear: any food onto which salt is peppered (a pun for your pleasure) qualifies as salad. Salted tofu is a salad. Pumpkin soup shortly becomes a salad. That popcorn you purchased last weekend at the pictures? Salad. And sushi, the ever-popular Japanese delicacy, onto which soy sauce (the saltiest condiment of all) is customarily poured, is, undoubtedly, a salad.
If I have managed to persuade even one noble soul through this humble letter, I would consider it a great success to this worthy cause.
*Not a fictional name. We must name and shame such subversive agents as is required. Salad is not a game for the fainthearted. Dominique Logan is one of many and must be stopped.
This is f#@%ed. SA Lad needs spend one day in the hospitality world to realise the kind of damage he/she is going to cause with garbage like this. Read a dictionary dude. | 2019-04-23T23:01:50 | https://www.deminimis.com.au/home/sushi-is-just-a-rice-sala-rolled-up-in-seaweed-other-obvious-thigns |

Brand New Essay on Joan Didion & Euphemism & Coffee Shops.
Grief is Different. Grief has no distance.
The point at which an entire family was doomed was when its last mobile member became too weak to queue for rations. Heads of households — usually mothers — were thus faced with a heartbreaking dilemma: whether to eat more food themselves, so as to stay on their feet, or whether to give more to the family’s sickest member — usually a grandparent or child — and risk the lives of all. For this reason… The Russian language makes the morally vital distinction between trupoyedstvo — ‘corpse-eating’ — and lyudoyedstvo — ‘person-eating’, or murder for cannibalism.

There’s always stories about celebrity ash smoking or ash snorting or ash eating. It seems to go with the fame, somehow. Usually I find it kind of crude, but I’m a big fan of this just released video about smoking postmortem Tupac. FYI, Pac loved “chicken and the BEACH.” "Yeah, it’s definitely true. I think it was the night of, we had a little memorial for him, with his mom, his family and s*it," Young Noble said. "And we hit the beach, do a lot of s*it he liked on the beach. Some weed, some chicken wings, he loved orange soda and all that kind of s*it. Pac loved that kind of s*it, so we were giving him our own farewell that night. That night, I forget which one of us came up with that s*it." "I came up with that s*it, if you listen to ‘Black Jesus’ he says last wishes, n*ggas smoke my ashes, so that was a request that he had. Now whether how serious he was about it, we took the s*it serious," E.D.I. added in.

In response to popular demand from parents, we are happy to announce the rollout of YouTube filtering for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is available right now for Mobicip.com Premium users, and will be available at High School level for others in a couple of days.
UPDATE: We found that this feature doesn't really allow filtered access to YouTube. It turns out that the only mechanism to play YouTube videos is through the YouTube application itself. So if the YouTube app is disabled (following the instructions below), and Mobicip provides filtered access to YouTube.com, none of the videos will be playable. We are working on finding a workaround for this, in case Apple doesn't support Flash soon. Please bear with us as we find a solution that works. Thanks for your patience.
UPDATE: The issue mentioned above has now been resolved. Please follow the instructions below to setup filtered access to YouTube through the Mobicip browser.
Simply disable the default YouTube application using the Restrictions feature, setup Mobicip Safe Browser as the default method to access YouTube, and unblock the YouTube category (Premium users only).
Mobicip™ offers a best-selling alternate browser for Safari that enables parental controls on your child's iPhone or iPod Touch. It is simple to setup and works anytime anywhere! The Mobicip Safe Browser is protected by a mobicip.com account setup by the parent.
Touch the search tab, and search for "mobicip"
Select the Mobicip Safe Browser from the search results.
Touch the price button, it will turn into BUY NOW. Touch this button and enter your iTunes username and password.
NOTE: Please make sure you purchase the app from the iTunes account that will be synced with the device. Your child may have a separate iTunes account to which the device is synced. Please purchase through that account instead of yours. If you have already purchased the app from your account, call iTunes Customer Support and they can cancel and refund the purchase.
One purchased, the app will be installed on your screen.
When installation is done, touch the Mobicip icon to launch the app.
If you don't have a Mobicip.com account already, touch the Create New Account button.
Once the account is created, login into the app. You should see the browser open up like this.
If you haven't already, visit www.mobicip.com from your PC to upgrade to the Mobicip.com Premium web application.

To allow the YouTube category, select Settings > Categories > YouTube. Uncheck the YouTube categories that you wish to allow and save the settings.
Your child can now access YouTube only through Mobicip Safe Browser, and YouTube in general will be accessible, but inappropriate content alone will be blocked. We would love to hear your feedback on this feature.

Have an idea for a great t-shirt? We offer design services that can help bring your ideas to life. Or we can use your own design to create your custom product to market your brand. Provide us with camera ready artwork (vector based) of your logo and avoid setup charges.
Looking for a price list? Because of the many variables involved in screen printed materials, it is difficult to provide a generic price list and still make sure that you get the best deal possible on your order.
Contact us to request a free quote or to learn more.
Quantity. We are a production shop; we base our costs on production time. If you need a few shirts or 1000 shirts, it takes the same time to set the job up. Therefore larger quantities will always have a lower "per shirt" price than smaller quantities.
Garment. Basic t-shirts of course are least expensive, prices increase when you add pockets, long sleeves or choose a heavier weight of cotton like a Beefy-T. Ringer T's, 3/4 sleeve, and fleece are always more expensive.
Garment Color. Garments are typically defined in one of three color categories. Whites, neutrals (ash and heather gray), and colors. Prices vary across categories with white being the cheapest and colors the most expensive.
Number of Printed Colors. 2 colors are more expensive than 1, and 3 colors are more expensive then 2 obviously. The number of colors in each location affects the piece price.
Printing on Dark vs. Light Garments. Darker garments are harder to print on and most colors require an under-basing so that the colors pop on dark garments. Under-basing is essentially adding 1 color per location which will affect piece pricing. | 2019-04-23T08:29:52 | https://revdupink.com/p/screenprinting |
SMU alumna and paralympian Yip Pin Xiu was featured in a video interview where she answered students’ questions on failures and setbacks. The video – Rebound with Resilience – is a social campaign started by communications studies undergraduates from NTU. They hope that their campaign will help to stop stigmatisation of failure and people with disabilities and in the process, cultivate resilience in individuals.

In line at the post office, this Mark Zuckerburg-looking guy in front of me starts waving his hand at the one (of course) clerk working the desk during the busiest part of the post office’s day.
"Can I just get my mail?" he says. "I think that’s it right over there."
She tells him, politely, that he’ll have to wait until his turn, which at this point is not a long way off. He starts to fidget, rubbing his finger over his knuckles, looking up, looking down, looking up again. In my mind I’m rearing back, waiting for this guy to say something really impetuous, and readying my response.
The guy in front of Squirmy allows him to go ahead and doesn’t even receive a thank you in return. Now I’m really hot.
The clerk checks the stack of mail behind her and says it belongs to someone else. She doesn’t know where his mail is.
"But it’s supposed to be here. I picked up my mail here two days ago."
"Yes," he responds with a sigh.
And now I’m the one fidgeting, biting my lip, looking down, because I realize that what is for me just a single quick errand over lunch is for this guy one of probably a thousand previously simple tasks that in an instant became a huge, complicated nightmare. | 2019-04-18T15:34:52 | http://www.johndedeke.com/blog/2011/4/27/the-pieces |

How many simultaneous e-mails via Outlook?
I know this is more of a WM question, but I'm getting a Pro so wanted to know this.
Currently I want to sync it with my home calendar and POP e-mail that is on my desktop PC. I have 2 POP accounts.
I also want to connect to my work's Exchange server and use the mail and calendar through Active Sync Push. Is this possible? Or can I not switch between these??
Re: How many simultaneous e-mails via Outlook?
For Mail, you can have multiple POP/IMAP accounts and 1 Exchange ActiveSync account.
You can set your ActiveSync at home to sync with your Calendar, Contacts and Calendar but not your home E-Mail since your Exchange ActiveSync is already setup to sync mail.
I hope I didn't confuse you...I had to re-type that a couple times.
You have what's assumed to be virtually unlimited POP/IMAP accounts. I know I have three, and I'm pretty sure you can have a lot more than that.
You can have only one Exchange account. Whatever you sync with Exchange wirelessly, though, cannot be synced with your computer via ActiveSync. So if you set it to sync your mail, you can't also sync it with your desktop. As far as I was aware this held true with calendar, contacts, etc. But if you just set up your home Outlook to use RPC over HTTP then it'll sync the same information anyway, making the phone unnecessary for that task.
See that's what I thought, but I'm running Vista and I was just able to re-pair my phone with WMDC and choose Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.
EDIT: Someone will have to see if you can/can't do this with XP...I can check tomorrow while at work, but I'm running Vista and Linux at home.
Last edited by MadlyAlive; 11-03-2008 at 08:06 PM.
I seem to recall it was on XP that I last did this, so that may be true.
You can have up to 8 accounts, one of which can be exchange. However, your Sprint Pictual Mail and Text Msg will take another 2 and Microsoft reserved their hotmail, so that leaves you 4 pop/imap accounts.
Thanks everyone for their posts. They were very helpful and they all were very clear. I'll just need to decide if I want to sync my personal calendar (wired) or work (wirelessly). | 2019-04-23T20:33:51 | http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro/42928-how-many-simultaneous-e-mails-via-outlook.html |

Clarence N. Peiffer, 97, of 132 E. Whitefish Rd., Port Washington died peacefully on February 12, 2007 at Virginia Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center in Germantown where he had been a resident a few weeks.
He was born in Holy Cross, Town of Belgium, Wisconsin on July 12, 1909 to John and Rose Wester Peiffer. On August 4, 1934 he married Marcella A. Remich of Lake Church at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Lake Church. She preceded him in death on February 11, 1958. On April 23, 1969 he married Esther E. Robel Wilde of the Town of Mequon at St. Peter of Alcantara Catholic Church in Port Washington. She also preceded him in death on March 6, 1994.
Automobiles were always a big part of Clarence’s life. On July 1, 1952 he opened Peiffer Auto Service on North Wisconsin Street in Port Washington and up until a few months ago was there most every day. From 1958 to 1975 he also operated an American Motors Dealership there, as well as, lawn mowers and snowblowers from Simplicity Mfg. and Toro. In his later years he could always be found greeting a friend by the parts counter. He continued to help out around the garage long into his golden years. Peiffer Auto Service continues to be operated by his two sons, Don and David.
He was and usher for St. Peter’s Church for many years; was very fond of his cars and enjoyed a drive now and then. Most of all he enjoyed the Sunday polka dances at Kewauskum, Adell and Johnsonville. He enjoyed bowling, shot pool at the Port Washington Senior Center and still played sheepshead twice a week with his friends. He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Loyal Order of Moose #1043 Saukville, Catholic Knights Branch 31 and Knights of Columbus Ozaukee Council 2035.
He is survived by his sons Don (Carol) and David (Diane) Peiffer and step-son Gerald Wilde, all of Port Washington, 6 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, sisters Sally Layman of Milwaukee, Hildegard Bremser of Cedarburg and Evelyn (Alex) Goedde and his brother Al Peiffer, both of Port Washington, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He is preceded in death by his two wives and five brothers, Roman, Harry, Norbert, Ervin and Milton Peiffer.
Funeral services will be at 1PM Sat. Feb. 17 from the Poole Funeral Home, Port Washington to St. Peter of Alcantara Catholic Church, Port Washington for Mass at 1:30PM.

BIGBANG’s “Flower Road” continues to top South Korea’s major music charts 7 days after its release on March 13. As of March 20, 4:30pm KST, it has achieved 7 “perfect all-kills” on Instiz’s iChart.
me too.. I’m also curios. I swear, if flower road win in any music program, I’ll cry buckets or scream like mad.
BIGBANG on hiatus slays the chart.
And again let’s add that this was made with no promotion, a one week announcement, no MV and with 4/5 members enlisted in the military.
I just love reminding people of that.
Ditto!!! With one week notice and zero promotions this is their power! Big Bang are Legends. Long Live The KINGs!!!
I love his face here. That must be his, the other members and YG’s face right now.
Original Haru Haru version. How could he not remember it? It’s the one in the MV, Jiyong, for goodness sake? The one he made.
Joke’s on him, I love Fetus Bang in that video, is so dramatic. And yes! that was the style back then, he should be proud looking how much they have evolved.
Are we surprised? Well, kind of because it wasn’t intended to be this successful. SK is missing Big Bang so much regardless of Tabi’s investigation. I really hope that this success really impact Tabi in much more positive ways despite of the “issue”. Hope he can see that regardless of the few headaches, Big Bang just won’t crumble or wither away. There’s just too much love here and he need to take note of this bright side of being who he is.
The five of them were born to be BIGBANG. Period.
Lol… They on a roll. THEIR presence is missed so much. . That people just want to hear BB. And THOSE antis can crawl back wherever they came from… BB`’s music is done its talking.
All bow down to The KINGs!!!! Yet again they prove that their status is one that is earned over the years and that their title as KINGs is well deserved. They don’t need fancy MVs, catchy concepts, high energy choreographed dance moves…their golden voices, their talent for music is all our boys need to slay!
Wow, so many PAKs!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 This is so freakin’ awesome!!!!
FYI guys Bang Bang Bang is really close to 300M mark. We are now at 299,929,359 views. If you’ve got a minute go drop in on youtube!
I was just there. The count is now 299,950,652. I think we will make 300M tonight! | 2019-04-20T20:32:52 | https://bigbangupdates.com/2018/03/flower-roads-perfect-kill-updates.html |
I grew up in St. Louis and moved to San Francisco right out of college where I lived out my city dwelling dreams for all of my 20’s. My favorite thing to do on a weekend is stroll through a farmer’s market or down a charming street full of local shops and coffee houses. My husband and I took an “extended honeymoon” and backpacked through Europe for 2.5 months and ever since I’ve had a never-ending travel bug. Mexico City is next on our list! Broad City and Netflix documentaries are my after work shows of choice.
What led you to begin Local Nomad?
I had a “someday” dream of opening a boutique for most of my life. Finding unique products that none of my friends had heard of has always oddly been a passion of mine and since I was a teenager. I would totally geek out in any boutique, flea market, etc I happened upon (I mean this hasn’t really stopped…). Dedicating my life to owning a shop was truly driven by this lifelong hobby of finding and collecting all sorts of hidden treasures and feeling compelled to share them with others. There are so many talented makers out in the world and it’s overwhelming to the average person to scour the internet for unique, handmade goods so it’s my job to do the research and curate a collection of the best items I can find.
Honestly I thought about this for so long and it came to me in the shower one day when I was formulating the brand concept. The shower is an incubator for all of my ideas, ha! Local Nomad is an oxymoron but the more I thought about it, it made sense - most everything in the shop is "locally made" somewhere around the world. It wasn’t until my husband and I decided to pick up our lives and move to Phoenix from San Francisco that I honed in on the story of the brand. Being an avid traveler and not being a native to Phoenix, carrying mostly local Phoenix made goods didn’t feel authentic so I decided to bring in handmade goods from all over the world – playing on my love for travel and bringing a different perspective on the “shop local” movement. We do carry work by local Phoenix makers but the idea was to have customers feel a sense of discovery when they walked in the doors and hopefully connect with an item based on the place it was made. Upon moving to Phoenix I didn’t realize so many people (especially young people) who live here are transplants, so I’ll often have customers say “oh, Jacobsen Salt! I’m from Portland!” and instantly connect with the product.
How do you source the items and brands that you have in the store? Do you look for certain designs, sustainably made products, etc?
I get this question a lot - I find my products all over the place! I travel a lot and whenever I visit a new city I make a point to go to the local boutiques to see brands they’re carrying. I usually pick up a few things for myself to support my fellow shop owners and simultaneously discover new locally made goods from each place I visit. Trade shows can be helpful and I attend them here and there but I’ve learned that the good ole internet is my best friend if I’m looking for more “undiscovered” brands. Instagram is an especially good resource for brands and I’ve been known to go into a pretty deep black hole and find some amazing treasures!
Do you have a team? What steps did you take to build it?
I do! I’ve had a small team since the beginning, just two gals and myself. I hired my first employee a month before we opened and she helped me with inventory and product photography for the website before the craziness ensued. Now each employee has different responsibilities and I try to play off of each one’s strengths. I try to delegate as much as possible and think of a list of tasks before each day so time spent at the shop is as productive as possible.
Central Phoenix, where the shop is located, is so wonderful in that the community really rallies behind locally owned businesses. I'm in the shop most days and connecting with people in the space is the most fun part of my job. We participate in an event called PHX Flea a couple times a year which is essentially a makers mart and there we get to meet so many people from all over the vast Phoenix area! So far we've done a couple of events in the shop - a macramé wall hanging class and a clean beauty workshop - and we want to continue to host more of these. Events are great because people in the community can come together in our space and learn something new or simply get to know each other.
Oh, there are so many! I am currently obsessed with Minna, an ethically made textile company based out of the Hudson Valley in New York. Sara, the owner, designs the most beautiful kitchen towels, table runners and throws and she works with artisans in Guatemala who weave the textiles. I'm also in love with an independent women's clothing label Rise & Ramble. They’re based in North Carolina and use natural and foraged dyes to color their textiles. Each garment is touched by Andrea, the designer, and each piece truly feels like a work of art. Lastly, Meyelo is a company that employs women artisans in Kenya through fair trade practices to make simple, beautifully designed brass jewelry and leather goods.
I read something recently that stated millennials are spending more money than any other generation on experiences. While everyone is shopping online more than ever these days, I think are still craving authentic, inspirational, sensorial experiences that take them away from their screens. Small businesses have a way of providing an experience unlike any chain store – especially when it comes to connecting with customers. Entrepreneurs are dreamers and risk takers and most I know are not in it for the money. When you’re motivated by your passion instead of dollar signs you can truly create something beautiful, and how awesome it is to support someone who is following their dream?
Well my workspace is most often my shop, so I love it for obvious reasons! Since I share my workspace with my customers, I try to keep it calm, casual and relaxed. I play a lot of downtempo music and light incense or palo santo each morning to create a sense of peacefulness as someone walks through the door. Many customers breathe a sigh of relief when they walk in as if they’re immediately transported into a much needed state of zen. I also recently got a puppy so I’m trying to train her to be my shop dog!
For me the idea of opening a shop has always been based on the premise that I truly believe surrounding oneself with beautiful things can create joy in one’s life. I find complete satisfaction in having a customer choose a handmade coffee mug and telling me that they can’t wait to sip their latte in it each morning. If coffee is part of your morning ritual – however you make it – it’s a sensorial experience and I believe it should be celebrated. If I can find objects with which people connect, and those objects bring joy to one’s life and support other entrepreneurs along the way, that’s my idea of success.
What are some of the setbacks or challenges you faced when starting Local Nomad?
A major setback was construction on the shop. I chose a space that is part of a newly renovated shopping plaza and was down to the studs, so we ended up having to put a lot more money than we thought into the build out. The shop looks gorgeous and I’m 100% happy about the location, but there are little things here and there I would have changed had I known how much it would cost in the end. We also opened a few months late, so I had some clothing inventory that I didn’t end up needing but working with such small designers you can’t exactly cancel orders. We got through it all in the end but I sold more on sale than I would have liked in the first few months!
Your shop is still in its first year! What are some of your favorite moments thus far?
I still look back to our grand opening party and it was surreal meeting so many people in the community that night. I was 5 months into moving to Phoenix and hardly knew anyone at the time so seeing this community pop up in my shop lead to an indescribable feeling of comfort. My dad ran to Ace hardware about 5 times that day, my brothers were on bartending duty and my husband’s restaurant catered tacos. It was one of those “this is really happening” moments that I’ll never forget. A funny thing that happens often is people I’ve “met” through Instagram pop into the shop all the time and it’s always hilarious connecting in real life!
I mean, where would we all end up by NOT supporting each other!? I’ve never been a competitive person by nature but at times I’ve felt threatened by the success of others and in turn, felt insecure. However, I got over this thinking in my late 20’s and adopted an “I don’t give a damn what other people think of me” attitude that really propelled me into feeling confident enough to start this business. I truly see no value in comparing myself to others – it always ends up being a negative reaction created 100% in my own mind. I realized early on that in order to have a creative career you cannot be concerned with how others view you or your work. You have to be confident in what you’re putting out into the world and just go with it, or else you’ll feel inauthentic. I’m really fortunate to have a lot of inspiring, strong and courageous female friends who have played a huge role in shaping who I am today. We all encourage each other, support each others dreams, and just truly love each other for who we are – and how special is that? My hope is that every woman experiences friendships like that in their lifetime.
One of my best friends Leah Kirpalani is a fashion merchandiser turned holistic health coach turned clean beauty expert. She quit her corporate retail job to help women overcome chronic illness through diet and lifestyle changes and launched a wellness website Good Life. Leah’s always been a beauty junkie and battling a chronic illness herself for most of her 20’s, she started trying every natural beauty product on the market. She recently decided to evolve her business to create a brick & mortar clean beauty shop in San Diego (Shop Good, coming soon)! She started her online wellness / clean beauty shop a year before I started my business and it was so inspiring seeing my friend do a 180 in her career to create a successful creative brand with an amazing purpose. She gave me the confidence to know that I could create my dream, too.
Was there any particular person who helped shape your career in formative way?
During my last two years in San Francisco I managed a boutique and the owner, Kristina De Pizzol was incredibly helpful in showing me the ropes. At the time I worked for her she had two shops in San Francisco (now 4!) and she has such a “can do” attitude about life. She took me on buying trips, taught me visual merchandising and truly showed me how to create something out of nothing. She is a creator at heart and seeing her work her magic in her shops while also being a mom of two gave me the confidence to believe I could, and the validation that I wanted to pursue my dream.
What have you learned from owning your shop that you think can apply to any creative endeavor?
I’ve learned to not overthink things and to not force creativity when I’m not feeling it. 20% of my job is spent being creative – whether is taking photos, doing visual merchandising, assorting product when I’m placing orders – or directing my employees to do some of these things. 80% of my job is spent doing emails, finances, talking with customers, etc. On a day when I have a long list of non-creative things to do (like clear out my inbox) I typically can’t get myself into a creative mood so I have to prioritize and carve out time to get those things accomplished. Like most, my personal creative endeavor is still a business, so I’ve learned that success is always a balancing act.
What tools or resources have been most helpful for you in creating your business?
Instagram has been a huge part of our business and it’s also what takes up more time than I ever imagined! We use an app called Planoly to plan out our Instagrams which makes the process more organized and thoughtful. Mailchimp makes sending emails seriously easy. After doing what felt like weeks of research, I landed on Shopify for our website/POS and have been so happy with the system. Skillshare has amazing online classes from industry experts for all things creative / small business oriented. You can learn SEO basics, Facebook advertising, how to take amazing product photos and a plethora of other helpful things. There are so many amazing companies out there building products for the modern small business – you just have to do your research and find what’s best for you.
Work/life balance has always been a huge priority to me. I’ve never been a workaholic and frankly because of that, I was at times scared I didn’t have what it takes to start a business. I understand my stress threshold and know what I need to do in order to calm my nervous system – take a yoga class, do breathing exercises, or go on a short run to let out excess energy. I always try to work as efficiently as possible and delegate to my employees as much as I can. Finding great employees who could do things better than me – i.e. visual merchandising, graphic design and photography – has been essential in sustaining a healthy work/life balance.
What are some of your favorite places in Phoenix?
Oooh I have so many! Lux, a coffee shop down the street from my shop is kind of like the neighborhood meeting place - you’re always bound to see a familiar face. Phoenix Public Market is my go-to on Saturday morning for their farmer’s market. It’s a café/restaurant that is such a great community gathering spot. Camelback Flowershop for flowers + gifts and Phoenix General for independent labels. One of my favorite things to do as a local in Phoenix is grab drinks or do a staycation at one of the many beautiful resorts. Camelback Inn is my favorite place to take out of town guests. It’s a beautiful Spanish colonial style resort that’s been around since 1929. Getting a spa treatment and doing a staycation at the Andaz Resort in Scottsdale is my favorite way to “get away from it all” when I can’t get away from the shop for more than a day. The spa feels very modern yet organic and the entire resort is so thoughtfully designed. | 2019-04-22T22:32:29 | https://www.theglossary.co/interviews/2017/7/30/small-business-profile-lauren-danuser-owner-of-local-nomad |
In December we were commissioned to illustrate and animate a January promotion for Public Health England’s new online health quiz and tool, ‘One You’. The work needed to fit with the One You brand, of teal background and bold yellow line as a footer, so we designed the illustrations to grow out of the yellow base line and flow from slide to slide. Live footage was also incorporated with the yellow line to tie it all together. This was created in two formats, a short one for Facebook and a full one, seen abpve. | 2019-04-22T16:31:08 | https://www.hireanillustrator.com/i/66715/public-health-england-one-you-animation/ |

Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna af Södermöre (Swedish: [ˈaksɛl ²ʊksɛnˌɧæːɳa] ( listen); 1583–1654), Count of Södermöre, was a Swedish statesman. He became a member of the Swedish Privy Council in 1609 and served as Lord High Chancellor of Sweden from 1612 until his death. He was a confidant of first Gustavus Adolphus and then Queen Christina.
Oxenstierna is widely considered one of the most influential people in Swedish history. He played an important role during the Thirty Years' War and was appointed Governor-General of occupied Prussia; he is also credited for having laid the foundations of the modern central administrative structure of the State, including the creation of counties (Swedish: län).
Oxenstierna was born on 16 June 1583, at Fånö in Uppland, the son of Gustaf Gabrielsson Oxenstierna (1551–1597) and Barbro Axelsdotter Bielke (1556–1624), as the oldest of nine siblings. His parents belonged to the ancient and influential high noble families of Oxenstierna and Bielke, both of which had held high offices in the state and the church for generations. After the death of her husband Gustaf, Axel's mother Barbro decided to let Axel and his brothers Christer and Gustaf finish their studies abroad. Thus, the brothers received their education at the universities of Rostock, Wittenberg and Jena. On returning home in 1603 he took up an appointment as valet de chambre (kammarjunkare) to King Charles IX of Sweden.
One of Oxenstierna's more unusual intellectual qualifications was his knowledge of the Scots language, reflecting the importance of the Scottish expatriate community in Sweden at that time. As Chancellor, he would regularly receive correspondence in Scots from his agent Sir James Spens, and he ventured into the language himself for an official letter to his Scottish counterpart, the Earl of Loudoun.
In 1606 he undertook his first diplomatic mission, to Mecklenburg and other German royal courts. While on diplomatic duty abroad, Oxenstierna gained appointment to the Privy Council (Riksrådet). Henceforth, Oxenstierna became one of the king's most trusted servants. In 1609 he travelled to Reval (present day Tallinn), on King Charles's behalf, to receive tributes from the city of Reval and the Estonian knighthood. Together with other councillors, Oxenstierna tried to warn the king of Denmark and the intentions of Danish King Christian IV. In 1610, Oxenstierna travelled to Copenhagen with the aim of preventing war with the neighbours, but unsuccessfully. The following year, Danish forces crossed the border, initiating the Kalmar War. In the fall of 1611, King Charles died. Around New Year 1611–12, the parliament had to deal with the situation. According to the rules, the 17-year-old Gustavus Adolphus had not reached the proper age to be considered adult enough to rule as king. However, the estates agreed to disregard those rules. In return, the young king agreed to ensure the nobles further privileges and appoint Axel Oxenstierna Lord High Chancellor.
On 6 January 1612 Oxenstierna became Lord High Chancellor (Rikskansler) of the Privy Council. His controlling, organizing hand soon became apparent in every branch of the administration. Sweden was at the time troubled by three wars against Denmark (Kalmar War), Poland-Lithuania (Polish-Swedish War) and Russia (Ingrian War). Oxenstierna's first big task as Chancellor was to achieve peace in some of the wars. The war against Denmark was considered the most dangerous of the three as the enemy-controlled parts of Sweden itself. Negotiations began in Knäred and Oxenstierna was first Swedish plenipotentiary. The negotiations led to the Treaty of Knäred in 1613. For his efforts regarding these negotiations, Oxenstierna received the title of district judge in the hundred of Snävringe and, eventually, the barony of Kimito.
During the frequent absences of Gustavus in Livonia and in Finland (1614–1616) Oxenstierna acted as his viceroy. One assignment Oxenstierna received while the king was in Livonia, was the task to finalize the negotiations regarding the marriage of John Casimir and the king's sister, Princess Catharina. At the coronation of Gustavus Adolphus, in October 1617, Oxenstierna was knighted. In 1620 he headed the embassy dispatched to Berlin to arrange the nuptial contract between Gustavus and Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg. During the king's Russian and Polish wars he had the principal duty of supplying the armies and the fleets with everything necessary, including men and money. Oxenstierna's ways of carrying out his assignments apparently gained King Gustavus's appreciation, since the king, in 1622, asked Oxenstierna to accompany him to Livonia and appointed him Governor-General and commandant of Riga, a strategically important town during the ongoing war against Poland. His services in Livonia gained him the reward of four castles (among others Burtnieki and Valmiera) and the whole bishopric of Wenden. Entrusted with the peace negotiations which led to the truce with Poland in 1623, he succeeded in averting a threatened rupture with Denmark in 1624. The Polish-Swedish War was reinitiated in 1626, and on 7 October that year, Oxenstierna became Governor-General in the newly acquired Swedish possession of Prussia. In 1629 he concluded the advantageous Truce of Altmark with Poland-Lithuania. Prior to this, in September 1628, he arranged a joint occupation of Stralsund with Denmark in order to prevent that important fortress from falling into the hands of the Imperialists.
Oxenstierna was not only highly successful within the diplomacy. During these years, he was entrusted with various important assignments in which he succeeded, such as gathering money and troops for the attack in Prussia in 1626. He played the leading organizational and administrational role in Prussia, as he had done earlier in Livonia. He was in charge of, for example, tolls, fortifications and the entire state grain trade. During the latter part of the 1620s, Elbląg (German: Elbing), where Oxenstierna resided and from where he governed the Swedish parts of Prussia, became a major Swedish centre of power, second only to Stockholm.
When Sweden entered the Thirty Years' War in the summer of 1630, tolls from Oxenstierna-controlled Prussia, as well as food supplies acquired by Oxenstierna, were pivotal assets. He had also obtained credits from foreign businessmen, ensuring large sums of money making it possible to hire mercenary soldiers to the army used in Germany.
After the Battle of Breitenfeld on 7 September 1631, Oxenstierna received a summons to assist the king with his counsels and co-operation in Germany. During the king's absence in Franconia and Bavaria in 1632 he held the appointment of legatus in the Rhineland, with plenipotentiary authority over all the German generals and princes in the Swedish service. Although he never fought a battle, he frustrated all the efforts of the Spanish troops by using strategically successful regulations.[clarification needed] He managed to conduct large reinforcements to King Gustavus through the heart of Germany in the summer of 1632.
In the Battle of Lützen (1632), on 6 November 1632, Gustavus Adolphus died. This meant that Oxenstierna became supreme commander of the Swedish troops in Germany, although he let his subordinate generals be responsible for the military operations on a lower level. He moved his headquarters to Mainz, which in practice became the new Swedish capital. Oxenstierna was now absolute ruler of the significant area that the Swedish army had conquered in Germany. He was offered the position as prince-elector of Mainz, but, after serious considerations, the offer was turned down.
When King Gustavus died in November 1632, his only legitimate and surviving child, Christina, was almost six years old. Until her declaration of majority at 18, a regency council ruled Sweden. This council was headed by Lord High Chancellor Oxenstierna, who wrote Instrument of Government (1634), a new constitution. During the years after the king's death, it became apparent that differences of opinion existed within the council. Some of Oxenstierna's colleagues recommended that Sweden should seek peace and withdraw from the war in Germany, not least after the defeat at Nördlingen in 1634. However, Oxenstierna's opinion, that Sweden should remain in the war to ensure compensation for the sacrifices made, prevailed. The, for the Swedish side, disastrous outcome at Nördlingen brought him, for an instant, to the verge of ruin and compelled him for the first time so far to depart from his policy of independence as to solicit direct assistance from France. But, well aware that Richelieu needed the Swedish armies as much as he himself needed money, he refused at the Conference of Compiègne in 1635 to bind his hands in the future for the sake of some slight present relief. In 1636, nevertheless, he concluded a fresh subsidy-treaty with France at Wismar. Swedish troops remained in Germany all the way until 1648 and the Thirty Years' War's end. Oxenstierna, however, left Germany and returned to Stockholm in 1636, after ten years duty as premier Swedish representative in Prussia and Germany.
Oxenstierna more directly claimed his place within the regency of Queen Christina and became the young queen's teacher in statesmanship. His presence at home dominated all opposition, and such was the general confidence for Oxenstierna, that for the next nine years his voice, especially as regarding foreign affairs, remained omnipotent in the Privy Council.
In May 1643, the Swedish Privy Council decided to attack Denmark. The Torstenson War was at large parts the work of Oxenstierna. The purpose was to gain territories from Denmark and be released from the Danish Sound Dues. Other factors might have been a will to revenge the tough peace treaty of Knäred in 1613. Whatever the reason, Oxenstierna considered the time was right to finally settle the score with Denmark. Swedish troops led by Field Marshal Lennart Torstensson attacked Danish Jutland from Germany, while Field Marshal Gustav Horn was in charge of the troops that attacked Scania. The outcome of the war was decided in the naval battle of Fehmarn Belt in 1644 where the Royal Swedish Navy decisively defeated the Danish Navy. The defeat of the Danish Navy left the Danish isles open to a Swedish invasion, and Denmark sued for peace. Oxenstierna was personally involved in the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Brömsebro, with which Sweden gained Gotland, Saaremaa (Ösel), Jämtland, Härjedalen and for thirty years Halland. Shortly after the peace treaty, Oxenstierna was created Count of Södermöre.
When Christina came of age, she tried to push Oxenstierna, her old mentor, aside. The relations between the two were not good and Oxenstierna always attributed the exiguousness of Sweden's gains under the Peace of Westphalia − Sweden gained only Pomerania, Usedom, Wollin, Wismar and Bremen-Verden − following the conference in Osnabrück to Christina's undue interference. When the queen, a few years later, wanted to abdicate, Oxenstierna at first opposed this because he feared mischief to Sweden from the unruly and adventurous disposition of her preferred successor, Charles X Gustav. The chancellor changed his mind about Charles Gustav, however, and gave Christina the help she needed to go through with her abdication. Oxenstierna died a couple of months after the ascension of the new king.
Oxenstierna is interred in the family burial vault in Jäder Church, north-east of Eskilstuna.
Oxenstierna died in Stockholm on 28 August 1654. He was interred in Storkyrkan, Stockholm on 18 March 1655. His body was then moved to Jäder Church close to the Oxenstierna estate at Fiholm, in present-day Eskilstuna Municipality, where a vault had been built in accordance with his wishes. In the vault, Oxenstiernska gravvalvet, several members of the Oxenstierna family have been buried, including Axel and his spouse Anna.
Gustaf (29 March 1609 – 1629), the oldest child, became a chamberlain.
Johan (born and died 17 June 1610).
Johan (24 June 1611 – 5 December 1657), named after his deceased brother, became a privy councillor.

Erik (13 January 1624 – 23 October 1656), served as a Lord High Chancellor after the death of his father Axel in 1654.
Axel Oxenstierna's wife Anna died in 1649.
Oxenstierna was in possession of large estates and many mansions. During his life he owned palaces in, among others, Estonian Otepää, in Latvian Burtnieki, Ropaži and Valmiera, in Finnish Nousiainen (Nousis) and in Stockholm (Oxenstiernska Palace). The foremost of the mansions was Tidö Castle in Västmanland.
Axel Oxenstierna is perhaps most remembered for the establishment of a uniform administrative system. He was ever-present during the vast reforms of the 1610s and 1620s, when the Swedish government was hugely modernized and made more effective. This was necessary for the war policies that would build the Swedish Empire. Among the areas reformed were army and navy organization and recruiting, trade and industrial policies, regional and local administration, the system of higher education, and the judicial system. The boundaries of the administrative counties of Sweden still to a large extent follow the boundaries established by Oxenstierna in the 17th century.
Oxenstierna would not have had such an impact unless he had won the king's trust. From 1612, when Oxenstierna was appointed Lord High Chancellor, until 1632, when King Gustavus Adolphus died, the two men struck a long and successful partnership. They seem to have complemented each other. With Oxenstierna's own words, his "cool" balanced the king's "heat". More than once, the chancellor had to realize plans of the king, plans that sometimes were highly spontaneous and far from ready to be implemented in reality. When it came to entering the Thirty Years' War, Oxenstierna was not as enthusiastic as the king, but since the king's will was decisive, Oxenstierna accommodated himself to Gustavus's wish. At times, Oxenstierna stepped in to ease tense relations that the harsh behaviour of the king had caused. He regularly received the highest praise for his work from the king and there was almost no area in which King Gustavus did not consult his Lord High Chancellor Oxenstierna.
The Chancellor made large contributions to the Standing orders of the House of Knights (riddarhusordning) of 1626. After the death of Gustavus Adolphus, Oxenstierna was the mind behind the Instrument of Government of 1634, in which, for example, the organization of the five Great Officers of the Realm was clarified. Five governmental branches, of which the Great Officers became heads, were established. Oxenstierna pushed through the Instrument of Government, but not without opposition. He claimed that the new form of government reflected the will of the late King Gustavus, making himself the interpreter of the king's thoughts and wishes, and leaving the opposition no possibility to control the truth in this.
When he discovered that there were too few young noblemen to staff governmental positions, he worked to make it easier for boys outside the noble families to gain higher education, and gave them the possibility, eventually, to be raised to the nobility themselves. He could therefore be considered the father of Swedish meritocracy.
Oxenstierna was also a supporter of mercantilism and a believer in immigration and free enterprise.
In Germany, Oxenstierna became a fear-evoking character in a derived version of the popular German lullaby Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf!, in which he is referred to as "Ochsenstern".
Dutch jurist and philosopher Hugo Grotius considered Oxenstierna "the greatest man of the century". French Cardinal Richelieu called him "an inexhaustible source of fine advice", while Richelieu's successor, Cardinal Mazarin, said that if all ministers of Europe were on the same ship, the helm would be handed to Oxenstierna. Pope Urban VIII claimed that Oxenstierna was one of the most excellent men the world had seen.
"Do you not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?" (in a letter to his son Johan written in 1648, in the original Latin An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur?). Although attributed to Cardinal Richelieu as well, this is probably the most famous Swedish quotation in the English-speaking world. The words were intended to encourage his son, a delegate to the negotiations that would lead to the Peace of Westphalia, who worried about his ability to hold his own amidst experienced and eminent statesmen and diplomats.
Oxenstierna has been portrayed on the stage and on the screen several times, mainly due to his role as mentor and guardian to the enigmatic Queen Christina. He was played by Lewis Stone in Rouben Mamoulian's 1933 Hollywood movie Queen Christina, with Greta Garbo as the female lead role, by Cyril Cusack in Anthony Harvey's The Abdication (1974) and by Michael Nyqvist in Mika Kaurismäki's The Girl King (2015).
Samuel Ahlgren (1764–1816) played Oxenstierna in Drottning Kristina (1790), by the King Gustav III of Sweden who was an active playwright.
In August Strindberg's 1901 play Kristina, Oxenstierna is portrayed as a cold realist criticising Christina's extravagant lifestyle and her gifts to favourites.
The part of Oxenstierna was first performed by Giovanni Carlo Casanova in Jacopo Foroni's 1849 opera Cristina, regina di Svezia.
Oxenstierna figures prominently in the Ring of Fire hypernovel by Eric Flint et al. until the fifth main sequence novel 1636: The Saxon Uprising in which he attempts to organize a counter-revolution to restore the supremacy of the aristocrats while Gustav II Adolf is incapacitated, but Gustav Adolf recovers and in chapter 52 Oxenstierna is properly rewarded for his treason, along with three of his staff officers who started to draw their guns.
The computer strategy game Europa Universalis IV has several in-game events related to Oxenstierna's reforms and regency.

A Canton-based food pantry that feeds hundreds of families across western Wayne County is getting a boost as it heads toward the Thanksgiving holiday.
Open Door Ministry, which feeds about 430 struggling families every week, has been chosen for a food drive by Bayloff Stamped Products, a Belleville-based auto parts stamping plant, and Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Westland.
Adrienne Erwine, Bayloff administrative assistant, said it's important for those who have jobs and food to help those who don't.
"We recognize that we are very blessed," Erwine said. "We have jobs. We don't have to worry about providing for our families. We also have the capability to give back to our community."
Open Door helps families from communities such as Canton, Westland, Plymouth, Wayne, Livonia, Redford, Garden City, Belleville and others as far west as Ypsilanti and as far east as Inkster.
The latest food drive occurs 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at Texas Roadhouse on Ford Road, east of Newburgh, in Westland. Erwine said items such as cereal, canned goods and "anything that has a long shelf life" may be dropped off at the restaurant. Donors who give five or more items will be entered into a drawing for two main floor, general admission tickets to country singer Kip Moore's concert Dec. 8 at The Fillmore in Detroit. Everyone who donates will get a $5 coupon for Texas Roadhouse.
Steve Darr, Open Door Ministry director, said the organization depends on the help of the community. He said businesses, scouting organizations, school groups and many others pitch in.
"It just blesses my heart to see all all these organizations come out to help us or donate money," he said. "We do depend very much on all the donations we get."
Open Door has distributed about 900,000 pounds of food so far this year, compared to 1.1 million pounds for all of last year. It gets much of its food from Forgotten Harvest and Gleaners Community Food Bank, but it also relies on help from local groups.
Open Door is in its 14th year. During that time, it has touched the lives of 6.500 families and more than 20,000 people within its service area.
"That's huge," Darr said. "That many people at one time or another have had a need for food assistance."

What are the reasons why you'd not see a lawyer for legal advice on your small business, at either the start up stage or during the lifetime of your business?
The main reason that I mightn't see a solicitor for legal advice might be the lack of transparency on pricing.
Solicitors in Australia are notorious for even charging exhorbitent fees for postage stamps in their final bills. So I would need a solicitor that [a] specializes in small business needs, and [b] announces their fees upfront.

Fashion is big business; from the high-street bargain outlet through to the couture gowns on the runway. But fashion brands big and small, high-street or high-end, have had to adapt their businesses to the world of digital-first shoppers and online retailing.
For companies that can successfully navigate the changing buying habits of consumers, who increasingly expect a seamless and connected shopping experience between in-store and online retail, there is huge potential for brands to keep customers coming back for more.
Selling fashion products online presents some obvious challenges and drawbacks when compared to shopping for physical items instore. How can consumers know if an item of clothing will fit them or suit them if they can only view it on a model on a screen? As with so many aspects of online life, the reality can be different to what is expected.
For this reason, clothing companies have invested heavily in perfecting the online shopping experience, with generous returns policies and 360-degree images intended to convert clicks into purchases. But how consumers behave online is as fickle as fashion itself. Fashion brands must understand not only where consumers go online but also where they get their inspiration from.
There has been much discussion about the impact of ‘fast fashion’; an increasing trend of consumers buying cheap clothes on a regular basis. With the landscape changing so rapidly and outlets catering to every sense of style, it’s hardly surprising that people are buying more and more than they have before.
And more than this, a simple click is all it takes to put a pair of trousers or a new dress into your virtual shopping basket. When a purchase is as immediate as this it is natural that people are spending time shopping for clothes online in tandem with actually going instore.
Recent research from Toluna suggests that more and more people buy fashion items every week. While the numbers remain relatively low, 7% in 2017 versus 5.7% last year, it points to a growing trend and one which can help online fashion retailers of all sizes.
Last year saw the highest percentage of respondents say that they bought fashion items several times a year (just under 32%) in contrast to the most popular choice of 2017 — every 2-3 months being true for almost 30% of respondents.
This research suggests that the UK public is increasingly going online to make their sartorial spending sprees. A purchase every two to three months means that clothing; shoe and accessory brands have regular opportunities to attract new customers online or to convert instore shoppers to select their items online.
One consistent concern for consumers is price. As with buying clothes in person, “getting a good price” was the most popular response from respondents in both 2016 and 2017 when asked what they considered most important when shopping for clothing online.
Whilst this may not be surprising, the quality of the product is apparently becoming more important to consumers, with 19% of respondents favouring this option in 2016 compared to over 22% in 2017. Free delivery and an easy return policy were also popular answers from respondents; but price is king.
Whilst this may seem an intuitive answer it offers insight into the typical shopper’s egalitarian attitude towards outlets. So, consumers don’t look online for specific things, such as high-ticket items. Instead, the online marketplace has simply become an extension of the physical one where consumers go as part of their ‘shopping around’ comparative experience.
Where consumers get their fashion inspiration is also changing. While in-store remains the prime place for the public to get ideas for their wardrobe there is some suggestion that the physical trip is more for mulling over outfits than actually buying them.
One thing is clear though; print is losing its popularity, with newspapers and magazines slipping in their inspiration influence in favour of social media and YouTube. In 2016, all social media channels accounted for the ideas hotspots for 36.7% of respondents, whereas 2017 saw this increase to 38.8%.
This change suggests the power of online influence and that brands have potential for genuine growth if they move online when trying to reach their audience. This can already be seen in the money being poured into hiring social media influencers to promote and publicise fashion brands to consumers who wish to emulate their personal style.
Customers do take inspiration from multiple sources so it’s key for brands to think about in-store and online retail with a multichannel approach. The breadth and range of social media also means that there are plenty of options for fashion retailers; it’s just a case of finding the right channel and the right spokespeople to reach the right audiences.
Ultimately online retail is fashion’s darling — and this doesn’t look as though it will change any time soon. The online space has allowed new and innovative brands to bring consumers new styles and products, whilst also allowing established retailers to reach a wider audience.
That’s not to say that the death of the high-street is an inevitability; rather that the instore experience will need to change and respond to the unique issues it can address. Developments such as virtual reality stores and interactive displays may help draw shoppers back to physical shops but won’t be rolled out on a wide scale for some years.
There is a place for buying clothes in-store, but Toluna’s research suggests that buying online will continue to drive profit for business. Consumers will increasingly look online to decide what they should be buying and where, as influencers and social media plays a more significant role in how the public learns about fashion. The sweet spot for retailers will be in creating those seamless customer journeys that complement — rather than compete — between in-store and online retail. | 2019-04-22T01:07:16 | https://www.imrg.org/blog/in-store-and-online-retail-how-to-understand-the-modern-fashion-consumer/ |
As the work from home trend grows, many businesses require secure remote access for their employees, and it’s not always to simple cloud apps such as Outlook email.
Sure, it's easy to get access to cloud applications like Microsoft Office 365, G-Suite, Salesforce and other popular SaaS applications - users can simply type in the URL from almost anywhere, and with the right credentials they log in.
But many businesses still need to provide reliable and remote access to line of business apps such as ERPs, CRMs, finance, healthcare, accounting systems and more, which are not so easily accessible over the Internet in a secure manner!
There are many secure remote access options out there, and if you google that term, you will quickly discover it’s pretty easy to become lost in a sea of marketing from the different vendors.
So let's start out with an unbiased definition of the three most well known remote access technologies, and we'll follow it up with the key differences between them as well as the pro's and con's.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that allows user devices to securely connect to a corporate network from remote locations with an Internet connection. This technology is usually restricted to laptops (PC or Mac) and provides access to network resources (shared folders, printers) remotely via a secured connection. Users will need to install an application or have a connection setup on their device.
RDS (Remote Desktop Services) is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s remote access solution, which was formally referred to as terminal services or a terminal server. It works by allowing users to log in from almost any device via the Internet to a centralized server, presenting the same virtual desktop to all users. The server resources are split amongst all the users who are actively logged into the server. RDS generally works best with PCs.
VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) also provides remote access to a virtual desktop, but in this case each user has their own dedicated Windows-based system which can be configured to their liking. In this scenario, there are separate virtual machines being hosted on a single (or multiple) server with dedicated resources for each machine, which can improve both security and performance.
What are the key differences between VPN, RDS and VDI?
When using VDI, all users have their own dedicated station that they can customize, although the administrator can define policies to decide what can be modified and what is uniform between the different virtual systems. Users will get a more familiar Microsoft Windows 10 (or other) environment to connect to. As the resources are defined and completely dedicated to each machine, this means that each machine works independently of the others, which may be important to highly regulated or secured environments.
When using a VPN, the application on the client device (e.g. PC or Mac) establishes a secure connection and creates a tunnel between the device and the corporate network. The end user’s device then behaves as if it was in the office. All applications and services offered can send data securely over the encrypted tunnel. The processing is done on the client machine, unlike RDS and VDI.
Cost: A VPN is generally the lowest cost solution. Minimal hardware is required and users can usually keep their existing devices. A VDI system is usually the most expensive, as there is an extra layer of software required to host a VDI system, most commonly Citrix or VMware. RDS may fall somewhere in the middle.
Maintenance: Using a VDI setup requires many different virtual machines to support the user base, so it can be more challenging to run patches and updates. An RDS setup generally has fewer machines to patch and maintain. VPN setups can leverage existing hardware, however maintaining off-site resources can be difficult as they need to connect to be visible.
Performance: The user experience is generally quicker on a VDI solution than RDS because the resources are compartmentalized and adjustable to each user. This provides a faster experience when using the system. A VDI solution would typically be recommended for AutoCAD or similar graphic-dependent software, which requires more processing power. VPN connections rely on client hardware and connection speed, thus sending large amounts of data can be slow because of the encryption required.
User Hardware: Because all the processing is being done on the server side, the end-user hardware is not as important with VDI or RDS. VDI solutions provide access clients for Mac and Windows, and in some cases iPhone and Android devices. Windows RDS has clients for Windows and Mac, however using a Windows-based PC will generally give the most consistent user experience. For VPNs, user hardware is more important as the processing is done on these devices.
Security: VDI and RDS can be configured to restrict data from leaving the corporate network. VPN connections protect the data in transit, however data can still be moved to client devices and extra steps should be taken to protect against this.
Every business has different requirements that will need to be taken into consideration. As an example, for a small number of users with limited needs, VPN or RDS is simpler and more cost effective.
But for a larger workforce with mobile needs or graphic processing needs, a VDI solution might be better suited to deliver the user performance required.
If you’re considering any of these solutions, make sure that you do an upfront IT analysis of your business needs first. Your best bet is to reach out to an experienced IT consultant who can guide you through the entire process, and assist with deployment, user training, and ongoing maintenance as required.

A technical glitch on Barclaycard’s website meant that a “sexist” error message was displayed to a user.
Nikki, a Twitter user who was trying to fill out a form on the banking company’s website, found that she was not able to tick “Dr” as her title at the same time as ticking “female” for her gender.
The message received more than 11,000 likes on the website, however Nikki later clarified that the error was caused by a website glitch.
She then got in touch with Barclaycard, who helped her successfully submit her application form.
A Barclaycard spokesperson said: “We apologise to Nicola for the technical error she encountered when applying for a credit card. Applicants are usually able to select ‘Dr’ as their title and then enter their gender as either female or male.
“Applicants are able to complete the form successfully when entering their details in a linear manner by selecting ‘Dr’ as their title, entering their name and then selecting female or male as their gender. | 2019-04-26T09:58:52 | https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/2019/03/18/glitch-appears-to-give-barclaycard-online-customer-sexist-error-message/ |

Surgery of any type is serious business that calls for major research before moving forward. If obesity is a lasting concern, however, there are some pretty compelling reasons to consider bariatric surgery to help make the pounds come off faster and stay away long-term.
While it’s best to discuss the pros and cons of different forms of bariatric surgery, such as gastric sleeve procedures and LAP-BAND operations, with your doctor directly, there are some good reasons to move in this direction. While carrying around a few extra pounds probably doesn’t signal a need for weight loss surgery, serious obesity or morbid obesity might.
When an impossible plateau has been reached – If you have tried other measures to lose weight and keep it off and just haven’t been successful, it might be time to consider weight loss surgery. Different bariatric procedures, such as the gastric bypass, have proven very effective for helping people get over those impossible plateaus while ensuring long-term maintenance of weight loss. Although invasive and sometimes permanent, bariatric surgery may provide the best option for weight loss.
When health concerns are high – Obesity is a problem that an estimated one-third of American adults face. This condition can lead to heart disease, some forms of cancer, stroke, diabetes, and more. If there’s a reason to be concerned about long-term health, it might be time to consider surgery.
When self-esteem is at a serious low – While self-esteem likely shouldn’t be the only reason to consider bariatric surgery, the fact is improvements in this department are often a side effect of surgery.
If it’s time to consider bariatric surgery, be sure to consult with a skilled physician that can help you review all the options. Weight loss doesn’t have to be a losing battle. | 2019-04-25T19:41:48 | https://www.nicholsonclinic.com/blog/all/with-you-all-the-way/2014/08/28/3-reasons-to-consider-bariatric-surgery |

MUMBAI|KOLKATA: The average growth rate for daily groceries as well as discretionary items such as cars and two-wheelers were lower under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government compared with the second term of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance regime while large electronic goods including televisions, washing machines and refrigerators, on the contrary, logged faster growth.
According to annual growth data for the past 10 years by WPP-owned research agency Kantar Worldpanel and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), while the actual consumer demand or volume growth for FMCG products and passenger vehicles rose consistently since 2014, growth either faltered or declined in most segments over the past two years following the introduction of the goods and services tax (GST) in July 2017, patchy monsoon rain and a higher base, which in turn, dragged down the average growth rate.
For instance, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market grew 3.1% on average for five years starting 2014 despite a decline of 1.1% last year. In comparison, the consumer goods segment grew 4% in 2009-13.
“Policy decisions such as GST or demonetisation (November 2016) caused short-term disruption in consumption growth but will boost demand over a longer period,” said B Krishna Rao, senior category head at Parle Products.
Demonetisation and the rollout of the single producer levy had upended consumption and stocking patterns across the consumer goods segment. This was followed by a weak macro environment including moderation in GDP growth and wage inflation. It should be noted that auto industry data is for the relevant financial years while that for other consumer segments relate to calendar years.
During the second term of the UPA government (2009-14), overall FMCG growth also stemmed from rising rural disposable incomes, following three consecutive years of good agricultural growth and the jobs programme. However, two straight years of deficient monsoon rain starting 2014 stalled growth in the rural markets, home to more than 800 million people whose purchase behaviour is largely linked to farm output. It was followed by long periods of low food inflation that depressed rural consumption since mid-2015, say experts.
A recent report by Citi research said a modest reversal in food prices could help rural consumption growth and the effectiveness of welfare schemes will be crucial. “With subdued agriculture activity and depressed rural wages, revival of these programmes post-election would be a key factor for rural consumption growth. The success of these programmes in lifting rural demand after the elections would critically depend upon budgetary support and ability to remove local bottlenecks,” the report said.
The average annual growth rate under the NDA regime for cars and two-wheelers was 6.2% and 7.2%, compared with 11.8% and 13.8% in the UPA’s second term. That was thanks to healthy rural incomes and pay commission implementation with the auto industry insulated from the effects of the global financial crisis due to a stimulus programme.
While the second term of the UPA government was a tale of two extremes, the current NDA regime has been all about steady organic growth through various disruptions, said Aswin Kumar, programme manager, mobility (automotive and transportation) at Frost & Sullivan.
“The recent slowdown has been triggered by increase in cost of ownership due to liquidity crunch, insurance and fuel price hikes, some of which may not be under government control,” Kumar said.
With about 15 million cars and 50 million two-wheelers added in five and seven years, respectively, traffic congestion has surged. Meanwhile, the rise of shared mobility platforms such as Uber and Ola have provided alternate means of transport, impacting car purchases. Maruti Suzuki, which controls half the car market in the country, saw sales slow in FY19 after four consecutive years of double-digit growth.
“Rural growth has sustained even as there has been slowdown in some urban areas,” said Maruti Suzuki chairman RC Bhargava. “The current government has addressed some fundamental issues and there are a number of policies being put in place to deliver long-term growth.” GST and simplification of the tax regime will have a long-term positive impact on the automotive sector, he said.
While rural markets dragged the consumer products market down, companies said changes in taxation and government initiatives over the past five years have triggered faster growth in electronics under the NDA government versus the previous UPA term. For instance, televisions grew 10% while washing machines and refrigerators rose 11.5% since 2014 on average compared with a decline of 4% in televisions and 10% growth in each of the other two large appliance groups. | 2019-04-24T17:55:48 | https://retail.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/auto-groceries-skid-under-nda-white-goods-shine/68842559 |

Processing speed, manufacturing efficiency and uniform product quality have been the hallmarks of the coil coating industry. At Shamrock, we specialize in providing micronized waxes and fluoropolymers that enable coil coatings to maintain their integrity. Our slip aids and abrasion resistance additives protect your coatings by providing improved weatherability, durability and enhanced appearance in coatings applications as diverse as roof decking, auto exhaust systems, beverage can ends, appliances, venetian blinds, lighting fixtures and toys to name a few. We offer a full range of waxes and wax blends for water and solvent-based systems in particle sizes from submicron to 300 microns. Our additives can be used over aluminum or steel substrates and incorporated into the backer coat, primer or top coat.
Abrasion results from scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away. Products such as S-381N1, Taber Tiger 5512, Taber Plus 75, S-395 N2, FluoroSLIP 511, and SST-3D are recommended to provide abrasion resistance.
The ability of coating surfaces to resist to marking by metal. It is related to the hardness, the pigmentation, the coefficient of friction, and the topography of the coating. We recommend micronized wax products such as S-394N1, FluoroSLIP® 225, S-NAUBA 5021, and PTFE products such as SST-2 and SST-3.
Micronized PTFE powders improve the static, but not the dynamic coefficient of friction. PTFE is generally used in combination with other waxes such as carnauba or polyethylene. We offer blend of PTFE and waxes in different form: FluoroSLIP® 421, FluoroSLIP® 511, FluoroSLIP® 515, FluoroSLIP® 605. They improve the slip, gloss retention and present good abrasion resistance in coil coating application.
Wax additives such as Hydropel AF can change surface energy of coatings allowing for water repellency. Pre-wetted dispersions such as Hydrocer 145 or emulsions such as Hydrocer EE-95, Hydrocer EP-91 are recommended for their ease of use combined with enhancing gloss control, slip, and abrasion resistance.
The texture series has become the industry standard for high bake coil coatings. These polyolefins provide texture with a “suede-like” feel. Because of their intrinsic high melt viscosity, they will not lose their particle definition at metal temperatures as high as 500ºF. They are highly resistant to all solvents. | 2019-04-21T16:10:57 | https://shamrocktechnologies.com/markets/coatings-2/can-coil-coatings/ |
Destination Mars has been a science fiction staple since at least the 1950s, but it’s only recently become technologically feasible to have humans not only travel to the red planet, but potentially colonize it.
“Humanity’s on a very slow climb, upwards toward a permanent spacefaring species,” says Jesse Rogerson, science advisor to Canada Aviation and Space Museum.
Rogerson has been fielding space questions due to the excitement caused by SpaceX’s Starman, a human-sized dummy, and his red Tesla Roadster, which were launched on an interplanetary mission on Feb. 6.
Celebrity entrepreneur, Elon Musk has been a vocal supporter of human missions to Mars. As CEO of aerospace manufacturer SpaceX, Musk oversaw last week’s launch of Falcon Heavy, a powerful and largely reusable rocket. The rocket carried the car and dummy into space as a demonstration of the rocket’s capability, and very successful publicity campaign. For several hours after the launch people could watch Starman in his Tesla, orbiting Earth, via livestream. The stream got more than six million hits over that period.
Musk has said that he intends to get people to Mars by 2024, though other space organizations are somewhat more conservative with their estimates. The International Space Exploration Coordination Group projects the 2030s as a more likely timeline for getting boots on the ground of the red planet.
“It’s inevitable. Humans will be on Mars, and they’ll be there in the next 10 to 20 years,” says Rogerson.
Arguments for humanity becoming interplanetary range from pushing the boundaries of human capability in engineering, science and even medicine, to ensuring the survival of our species. Practically speaking, Mars is one of our best candidates for success and survival.
Mars is our second closest planetary neighbour. At its closest approach, the planet is 54.6 million kilometers away, meaning a one-way trip, with current technology, is possible in seven months. Proximity is important as initial supplies and help need to be available from Earth. While there has been recent interest in exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system), our current technology is incapable of bringing live humans to those places.
As well, Mars might already have a history with life. According to NASA, Mars once had an atmosphere, much like Earth’s, but solar winds and radiation stripped the planet of its shield. Without an atmosphere, water, as far as we know a precursor to life, is not stable on the planet. However, there is mineral and geological evidence that there were once flowing rivers on our red neighbour. This suggests that although from a harsh, windswept landscape, Martian microbial life might exist, and humans could have their first alien interaction.
Gary Boyle is former president of the Ottawa chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and former lecturer at Algonquin College who has been watching the new era space race with interest.
“The hype with Mars has really come tenfold,” says Boyle. He says that social media has been especially influential in propelling interest. He notes that when he was a child in the 1960s and 70s, he’d have to wait for at least a month for discoveries to be published in a magazine. Today it can be published online fifteen minutes later.
Notably, Canada has been well-known for its robotics contributions. The country’s most famous success has been the Canadarm series, designed and built in Canada. Canadarm 1 was launched in 1981 aboard the space shuttle Columbia. It was a dexterous arm that could capture, manoeuver and deploy payloads. The more advanced Canadarm 2 is the International Space Station’s robotic arm. It can do repairs and capture payloads on the space station. It is also on the Canadian five-dollar bill.
Canada has sent eight astronauts to space, beginning with Marc Garneau in 1984. The most recent Canadian in space went up in 2012, and became, what some have called, the world’s most famous astronaut. In early 2013, Chris Hadfield recorded the first music video in space when he covered David Bowie’s Space Oddity. The video went viral, boosting international attention to Hadfield, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the space station program more broadly.
On November 30, 2018, Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques will launch in a Soyuz spacecraft, for his first mission.
No matter when it happens, Canadians are making preparations for the ultimate mission. McGill researchers are already testing technologies for finding microbiological samples from the Martian surface, using the high Canadian Arctic as a stand-in for the desolate distant land. Western University has geologists studying ice deposits for where water might settle and hide on alien lands.
The Martian fever is growing.
At Carleton University, Etienne Rollin, a physics professor, runs the campus observatory. The metal dome on the Herzberg building allows Rollin’s students to observe the night sky, including Mars.
Rollin says that he doesn’t have the time to accommodate all the demand to visit the observatory.
On Feb 2, a consortium of fifteen space agencies, including the CSA, released the third edition of the Global Exploration Roadmap.
The 36-page document is an outline of how national space agencies, including NASA, CSA, European Space Agency and Roscosmos, intend to push beyond Earth’s immediate vicinity, and ultimately onto Mars.
The route is something of a leapfrog approach.
There’s been continuous human presence in space, on the International Space Station, since 2000. Any future space travel will be based on knowledge gained from this endeavor, so the collection of agencies intends to keep investing in the space station, and use that as a launch point.
What is new about this iteration of humanity’s push for Mars is the inclusion of the Deep Space Gateway in the mid 2020s. This is a space port orbiting the moon, from which missions could be launched both to the moon, and further into what’s known as deep space.
Once there’s a launch pad in deep space, according to the document, the route is set to take humans to Mars by the mid 2030s. | 2019-04-25T14:14:30 | https://capitalcurrent.ca/archive/capitalnews/archives/4815 |
I think the part of the brain that compels us to write is completely different from the part that does the marketing/promotion,etc. Which is why in the trad pub world, you have writers who write and a whole other set of people to sell the written works.

Gastric bypass surgical procedure is among the many hottest bariatric surgical procedure, with the variety of those that are selecting to bear the process doubling since 2015 to 2017. The American Society of Bariatric Surgery, estimates the quantity to be 140,000 yearly. This process is primarily finished to resolve problems with morbid weight problems and the illnesses related to it.
In gastric bypass surgical procedure, a small pouch is created within the abdomen. This small pouch is stapled and the small gut’s higher portion can be hooked up to this small pouch. The center part of the small gut is hooked up to the remainder of the abdomen. Food will bypass the remainder of the abdomen and the remainder of the small gut. Te abdomen will probably be in smaller measurement which might make it full sooner. Less energy will probably be absorbed.
This process would require weight loss program change. Since the digestive system is altered or shortened, each meals consumption can be priceless. Some frequent unwanted side effects introduced by the surgical procedure is dietary deficiency like anemia and osteoporosis. This is why it is vital for sufferers to comply with a unique weight loss program and take mineral and vitamin dietary supplements.
The particular gastric bypass weight loss program would make it possible for weight reduction will probably be maintained over time. It would usually contain excessive protein meals. Foods excessive in protein would be certain that new tissues are being constructed and the injuries are therapeutic correctly. Ideal excessive protein meals will probably be low in fats like crimson meat, hen or turkey with out pores and skin, fish, eggs and cottage cheese.
Sugar and fats is among the many meals which might be prevented. Gastric bypass weight loss program would contain meals low in sugar and fats. Sugary meals are excessive in energy and fats. Fat is troublesome to digest. Consuming an excessive amount of sugar might additionally consequence to the Dumping syndrome that has nausea, dizziness, vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea as signs. The physique might additionally react the identical approach to an excessive amount of fats. Foods with an excessive amount of fats and sugar, anyway, wouldn’t have ample vitamins that will be important to the physique.
Foods excessive in fiber are additionally restricted in gastric bypass weight loss program. Fibers might block the abdomen, small gut and would require extra gastric acid to digest it. A physician’s approval is required earlier than ingesting any laxative or fiber capsules.
This change shouldn’t be finished instantly. There are phases in a gastric bypass weight loss program. Clear liquids can be the primary stage. For the primary two days, clear liquids like water, sugar-free juice, clear broth and no fizz soda are consumed in small quantities. Within the primary two weeks, low-fat, excessive protein liquids are ingested. It is vital to additionally take chewable multivitamins throughout this stage.
Doctors would decide when can be the appropriate time for the affected person to progress to tender or puree weight loss program. Some would have the ability to eat after two weeks, whereas others must wait longer than that. Some people who find themselves on this stage would typically resort to consuming strained child meals. While others would favor consuming tender meals like scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, blenderized lean meats, and so on.
Two months after the surgical procedure, the affected person might now begin consuming common weight loss program, beginning with high-protein meals. Food consumed needs to be in small quantities. Remember that the abdomen is contracted. After the gastric bypass, the abdomen might accommodate about an oz. of meals. Eventually, it might stretch and maintain about four to eight ounces or a cup to half a cup of meals.
One factor that folks ought to take heed to can be overeating. Gastric bypass surgical procedure could make the abdomen smaller, nonetheless this doesn’t have an effect on the general angle to consuming. People might consequence to overeating due to genetics or feelings. Lifestyle change is vital. Overeating might trigger regaining the misplaced weight, growth of the pouch, and in worst circumstances rupture of the abdomen.

Just last week, Lana Del Rey released her new album, Ultraviolence. You can have a listen to it above via Spotify.
The album certainly follows in the tradition of 2012's Born to Die but is definitely more mature and stripped down. Ultraviolence is filled with folky pop songs and is sure to please fans of Lana Del Rey's music.
The title track is exactly what one would expect from Del Rey with it's bluesy chorus and melancholy lyrics. "West Coast," the first single from the album, is a jazzy musical tribute to California. "Shades of Cool" and "Brooklyn Baby" have an acoustic, 1960s feel and definitely mirror the singer's earlier hits like Born to Die's "Ride."
Ultraviolence also has several songs that are filled with explicit lyrics, nods to hipster Brooklyn, and drug references i.e. the angsty "Fucked My Way to the Top" and "Money Power Glory." While the album is certainly more mature, these two songs wonderfully capture the "Be young, be wild, be free" motto that Lana has come to be known for. Fans will also be happy to finally enjoy the high fidelity version of the previously-leaked "Black Beauty."
My personal favorite from the album would be "Old Money" which sounds very similar to the 1960s hit, "What is A Youth" by Nino Rota (featured in the 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet). Now whether or not this similarity was intentional or not remains to be determined but "Old Money" is a solid, melodic piece that should not be overlooked. "The Other Woman" is equally as beautiful and is very jazz-influenced, with its saxophone accompaniment and Del Rey's crooning vocals.
While Lana Del Rey already has a well-established fan base it is refreshing to see that she is still taking chances with her music. No two songs on this album sound alike and as a listener you can tell that Del Rey takes inspiration from a wide assortment of musical styles and artists.
You can purchase Ultraviolence on iTunes. For the latest information, music, and videos from Lana Del Rey be sure to visit her Zumic artist page. | 2019-04-21T19:07:08 | https://zumic.com/ultraviolence-lana-del-rey-official-full-album-stream-zumic-review |

Dawn Alexandrea Berry is a postdoctoral research associate—diplomatic history, foreign policy, and security studies—at the Einaudi Center for International Studies, Cornell University. She lives in Ithaca, New York, and has been a member since 2012.
My research lies at the intersection of several geographic and thematic historical subfields including diplomatic and international history, security studies, the history and geopolitics of the polar regions, business history (particularly mining), history of science and technology, media history, American history, Canadian history, and the history of the British Empire (among others).
I was a very curious child. I loved reading and asked far too many questions (many of which my mum could not answer). Studying history gave me a mechanism to find my own answers to an increasingly long list of questions.
I am currently preparing a manuscript entitled Star Spangled Ice: FDR, Global Security, and the Polar Regions. It explores when, why, and how the United States became involved in the security of the Arctic and Antarctic from an international perspective.
My dissertation was on the North Atlantic Triangle and the genesis and legacy of the American occupation of Greenland during the Second World War. The biggest challenge I had to overcome with my doctoral work was limiting its scope and finding a digestible way to discuss the complex technological, economic, political, diplomatic, military, and social factors that led to, and resulted from, the occupation.
Whilst completing my archival research I frequently came across wonderful material on the Antarctic, and some fascinating sources on gender and sexuality, which were outside the purview of my project. Since completing my dissertation I have been able to do more comparative work on the polar regions, and follow up on some of the exciting material I discovered in the archives.
I am interested in the relationship between the historiography of the Second World War and collective memory. David Reynold’s In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing the Second World War is an exceptional work that provides both critical analysis of Winston Churchill’s The Second World War and demonstrates how Churchill (somewhat self-servingly) shaped our contemporary understanding of the conflict.
Communicating the ways in which the past continues to shape the present—demonstrating that history matters—is very important to me. I enjoy finding the connections among people, circumstances, and events in the past that continue to have unexpected or unrealized impacts today.
Having completed my graduate work in the United Kingdom, the AHA was (and continues to be) invaluable in understanding the subtle differences between the American and British higher education systems.
I love hearing about other historians’ research and how they came to work on their subject. I had some phenomenal discussions in the minibus shuttle between the hotels at the DC meetings in 2014. These included a particularly memorable chat with University of Arizona Professor William Beezley about puppets and politics in Mexico—fascinating!
Most of my passions have some sort of historical connection. Museums fascinate me. I love travelling and have lived in six countries and visited more than 50 others. When I travel or move to a new place I try to visit at least one museum. It is so interesting to see how the past is presented to the public and how people relate to the exhibitions. | 2019-04-18T10:28:07 | https://www.historians.org/publications-and-directories/perspectives-on-history/november-2015/aha-member-spotlight-dawn-alexandrea-berry |

Dr Liam Fox was appointed Secretary of State for International Trade on 14th July 2016. A GP by trade, he held a number of shadow roles and was party chairman between 2003 to 2005, before becoming shadow secretary of state for defence (2010-2011). He stepped down from the post amid controversy over his working relationship with friend and self-styled adviser Adam Werritty.
Dr Fox, a ‘Leave’ supporter, returned to the frontbench as a favourite of the Tory grassroots – underlining Theresa May’s efforts to appease those on the right of her party. The remit of his new department will be interesting, as traditionally the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ‘sells’ the UK to other nations: maintaining these trading relations is critical to making Brexit work. The Brexit department will be delivering the EU trade deal, so Dr Fox has been charged with producing frameworks for trade deals. However, this leaves the FCO in something of a grey area, already creating showdowns between Johnson and Fox. | 2019-04-22T11:04:37 | https://www.whitehouseconsulting.co.uk/project-brexit/key-negotiators/rt-hon-dr-liam-fox-mp/ |

5 Tips for Efficient Meal Prepping Vegan recipes for an active, healthy life.
Meal prepping is an incredibly helpful practice that will inevitably save you time, money and calories. It can be a challenge, however, to figure out out to efficiently meal prep so that you aren’t wasting hours of your weekend in preparation for your week. If you want a few actual healthy food combo ideas, check out my other blog post with some meal prep ideas.
I have been meal prepping for so many years now that I have developed a few helpful tips that I wanted to share.
Spend the money and make the effort and go buy 14 medium size to-go containers and 14 small to-go containers. These are very cheap! So, the cost should not stop you. In many of my pictures I have glass containers, which are more expensive, but the plastic containers work just fine as long as they are BPA-free which means they won’t leak and that they are microwave safe. Microwaving food is not a good idea anyway, but I understand sometimes we just do. However, there is nothing wrong with leaving your lunch and or dinner out for a few hours to warm it up (or eat it cold). This practice is better than microwaving, which will zap the nutrients right out of your food! But truly, that can be level two and nothing to worry too much about yet.
Get a sharp knife and a knife sharpener. A sharp knife is essential to cutting up vegetables and fruits. It will save you time, great annoyances from the inefficiencies of small knifes and, when you learn how to use it properly, it will save your fingers!
Learn how to use a sharp knife! This is not too hard. There are many tips and tricks to make this easy and it’s a great skill to acquire. There are a load of videos and articles online to get you started. I have my own video coming soon.
Buy cherry tomatoes, while they are not pre-cut, they are small and so you don’t have to cut them!
Doing these 5 things will save you a lot of time and money over the course of your life! It will also save your health as you will be less likely to overeat, less likely to grab for unneeded and unwanted extra calories or food that is unhealthy.
Please reach out or comment if you have any questions!

In 2009 American Girl caught us all off guard when in addition to the Girl of the Year, Chrissa Maxwell, they also released her two best friends, Sonali Matthews and Gwen Thompson. American Girl was criticized quite a bit that year on everything from releasing three dolls at once to the back story of Gwen being homeless. The Chrissa story was one that Natalie just fell in love with – and relates to very well – and so she asked for the entire Chrissa collection that year. She obviously did not get it all at once, but between birthdays, Christmas, using her own money and such, Chrissa’s collection is our only “complete set.” Ever since we got Sonali (Natalie got her for her birthday on December 30, 2009 just as the set was being retired), she has been one of my personal favorites. She looks good in everything and I like her unique face (which was made for her and then used on MyAG 46 & 47 as well as Cecile).
Sonali’s meet outfit is a light green t-shirt, cable knit sweater tunic (I love the detail in this one), denim capris with embroidery and banded leg opening (again – nice detail), and light blue flats with ribbon trim. Her meet outfit is great for mixing and matching.
Sonali is busy texting Chrissa while having lunch at the picnic table. The picnic table is part of Chrissa’s collection.
Lunch time! Chrissa’s picnic table has a removable string of “lights” that add a fun element to any photo. Sonali is of Indian descent and is actually much darker in real life than she appeared in the book illustrations and in the Chrissa movie. Her hair is actually fabulous though – it is silky and has loose curls. We have not had any difficulty with it at all.
Yesterday I posted a sneak picture on Facebook and Instagram of Sonali’s hair and asked if anyone could guess who today’s start was. Did you get it right? Her hair is in a “spider web” or “veil” style that is super easy to do. I will post a tutorial of the style later today – but it really is so easy!
What is that crazy Sonali up to now? Dancing on the picnic bench? Sonali – I am not sure that is great idea! You will end up with a banged up head like Chrissa’s brother Tyler if you are not careful!
I have often wondered how many Sonali dolls were made and how many were sold? I tend to believe she is one of the harder to find retired American Girl dolls, actually.
Sonali is so pretty, love her meet. Hey guys Yuko arrived! She is so pretty and larger than I expected!
Sonali is soooo pretty. I as well regret not getting her or any of Chrissa’s collection. Thank goodness there are dolls that look just like Gwen and Sonali. P.S. The doll that looks like Gwen is identical to her. All you would need is to buy just her meet outfit and you have Gwen! Or you can buy her on Ebay!
Vivi- thanks! I <3 Space Sloth (the picture). Actually, I'm just obsessed with sloths in general, and if you look into my brother's laptop, I put a bunch of sloth pictures in a folder. And if you click my name and see my new blog, I have a sloth as the header, I'll occasionally put sloth pictures on my posts, and there's even a sloth as my Blogger profile picture thingamabobber.
Fiona – I was just wondering, how did you change your icon picture? I can’t seem to figure out how to do it.
awww!!….. hey!!! I have ag 47!!!
Sonali is one of our favorites, too! I, of course, like that she is darker than most.
@StoryTeller- Thanks! This was really informative! I didn’t know that Sonali, Julie and Marie-Grace have different molds. There all so close, I just hought they were the same. I only have 3 AG dolls and they all have different molds, classic, (AGOT #19), Asian,( #30), and the Josefina style, (Sunny, formerly Julie). Although I do love the Sonali mold, I will probably not be getting another AG doll, b/c I also have 7 Springfield Collection dolls (current run and retired), and a custom (boy) OG doll. That’s 11 in all!
I have no clue how many Sonalis were made or sold, but it was probably less than Chrissas. And I heard that she was available in early 2010 (along with Gwen) because they were not very popular.
What a beautiful doll! She looks so cute beside the picnic table (and playing on the bench) and I, too, really like that light blue sweater. | 2019-04-23T06:54:02 | https://dolldiaries.com/doll-of-the-day-american-girl-sonali/ |
As part of the 2015 Conference two Masterclasses will be held on Monday 19th, October from 9am till 12:30pm.
This masterclass — presented by the Australian Environmental Justice (AEJ) project team — will explore ‘environmental justice’ in theory and practice, in Australia and beyond, through its disciplinary and interdisciplinary developments and, especially, from an ecological economics perspective on environmental justice.
Various aspects of environmental justice will be analysed — distributive, procedural, substantive, participatory and recognition. Terms such as ‘ecological debt’, ‘ecologically unequal trade’, ‘water justice’, and specific methods such as ‘popular epidemiology’, will be explained and discussed.
We will draw on some of the more than 1500 case studies on the international online interactive environmental justice atlas (http://ejatlas.org/) to which AEJ contributes. The EJAtlas has been created through the ongoing Environmental Justice Organisations, Liabilities and Trade (EJOLT — http://www.ejolt.org/) project initiated by past-president of the International Society of Ecological Economics Joan Martinez-Alier (UAB, ICTA). This scholar–activist international collaboration has centred on cataloguing the conflicts and analysing the cases of environmental injustice, producing various reports, fact sheets and articles in academic journals.
Participants will learn ways to contribute to — as well as draw from — EJAtlas. We will provide a manual as well as a demonstration of contributing a case study. Successfully processed through EJOLT, case studies constitute refereed publications. No background knowledge is required for this masterclass but we take an engaged, participatory, community of practice approach.
This masterclass – presented by Paul C. Sutton and Sharolyn Anderson of the School of Natural and Built Environments at the University of South Australia – will introduce the idea of ecosystem services, and the mapping and economic valuation of ecosystem services.
Interest in ecosystem services has increased dramatically in the last decade. Economic valuations of ecosystem services globally exceed the entire value of the world’s marketed economy or global GDP. Current estimates put the global value of ecosystem services at roughly $125 Trillion per year. Losses to ecosystem services as a function of global changes to land cover in the last 10-20 years are estimated to be on the order of 4 to 20 trillion dollars per year (up to 1/3 of global GDP). Losses to ecosystem services as a function of diminished or impaired ecosystem function that result from land degradation, species extinction, and climate change have yet to be completely assessed. Ecosystem services represent an interesting and challenging market failure that the traditional economic world view has dramatically failed to address appropriately.
This course will present an introduction to the nature of ecosystems services, some exploration of the methods used to conduct economic valuation of ecosystem services, some discussion of the utility and non-utility of such evaluations, and an introduction to mapping ecosystem services at national scales using simple benefits transfer methods. The second half of this 3 hour master class will involve a small lab exercise using ArcGIS, a global LandCover data product, and Powerpoint. We will provide a student license of ArcGIS and the data to enable all participants to produce a map of the ecosystem values of any country of their choice and make a figure in powerpoint. We envision this exercise as an easy ‘plug-and-play’ laboratory exercise that can be adopted for courses in GIS, Cartography, and Ecological Economics. Please bring PC laptops for participation in the workshop. | 2019-04-19T01:20:06 | http://anzsee.org/masterclasses/ |
An article was recently brought to my attention in regards to the HUGE lottery that the news has been talking about. Many of the media outlets have stayed that the state that gets the taxes from the money will be in good shape due to many budget cuts in recent years.
The particular blog brought to my attention covers a similar subject. “What if a church goer was to tithe off the money? That means a full 10% of the money goes toward the church budget.
With many denominations against gambling this raises a few interesting questions that I will attempt to answer in short form below. Now as a disclaimer let me state a one thing, I don’t support the idea of throwing away your money gambling but I also don’t support the idea of throwing your money away of useless things either (to me doing either is dumb).
1. Is Gambling A Sin? – In the Bible there is not that one verse that says “Gambling is a sin”. However the Bible does say a lot about money just in Proverbs let alone other places where Jesus speaks of it. Its clear that the Bible says that when it comes to money two things are true. First it shouldn’t control you and secondly it shouldn’t be the source of your hope. The answer to the question then is “yes”. Gambling is a sin because it encourages you to put your hope in something other than Jesus and in the end can take over your life. However as Christians we must be careful not to yell “Gambling is a sin!!” while we throw away our money on our own comforts while others go without. It may not look the same as gambling but we are still putting our hope in things other than Jesus while we watch those we are commanded to help go without.
2. Does The Church Care Where The Tithe Comes From? – When you ask the question of whether or not a church should/would take the tithe off of the winnings of a lottery ticket many would say “no” very quickly. However you can’t just look at one isolated time. Do churches take the time and see where all their tithe comes from? How do they know they don’t get tithe money on a regular basis from people that play the lottery but only win little bits at a time. You can’t say “we would never take it because its wrong” unless you investigate where all your money comes from.
3. Is The Church Mature Enough To Handle That Much Money? – Lastly we have all heard of stories where churches have split over really dumb things. Carpet color, music styles, pastors and more. So it would take a very kingdom minded church to be able to sit down and really use the money well. In reality I think the tithe off that much money would unfortunately show us just how immature as followers we really are. For example you would have one person that would want to use it for the parking lot, another for the outreach ministry and yet another for the new building. To much money put into a church that doesn’t trust the leadership to decided the outcome of where it should go is a dangerous thing. However all it really does is show just how immature the congregation was to start with so the sin isn’t in the money its in the people.
In short would I take a tithe on that much money? It depends. I would have to know the believer. Are they mature, are they doing this for self glorification and do they there hope placed in Jesus or in money?
Of course if I’m going to ask that question of them shouldn’t I ask that question of everyone that tithes….. | 2019-04-19T17:00:39 | https://pastormikemoore.com/2012/03/31/gambling/ |

The 2019 1st Term of the Bible Institute at Raiwaqa is about over. We are down to the final two weeks of our long courses. We have 12 students in the program this term. Semi and Lency went through the graduation line in November of last year, but both have a few classes left to finish up their studies. We had 4 returning students and 5 new students.
We have been privileged to host Bear Valley’s first study abroad student, Kaleb Cutter. Kaleb is a 2nd Year student at Bear Valley Bible Institute, Denver from California. He is taking the last term of his program here in Fiji and will return at the close of our short courses to graduate in Denver. He is a real joy to have in our program.
Our new students have been taking English Comp 1. Emosi, our new teacher, has just about completed teaching his first course on the Life of Christ and is doing a superb job. Jason completed a class on Preparation and delivery of sermons and is now teaching a class on the Backgrounds of Early Christianity. I am currently teaching a class on the Christian Home after having finished a class on the Pentateuch.
One thing that is different is that we have four female students in the program this year. Most are wives of students who graduated last year. It is difficult for some of the wives to attend at the same time as their husbands because of the need for one to look after the children. Tupou, the wife of Semi, is attending the program so that she can be better equipped to teach children’s classes at the Naila Church of Christ. Her husband, Semi, graduated last year and has been charged with overseeing the Bible school program at Naila. He teaches the older youth and she the younger. Nancy is the wife of Emosi, who was our top student last year and now teaches in the school. Nancy also teaches a regular children’s class at the Raiwaqa Church of Christ. Moira is the wife of Peter, who also graduated last year. She is one of the teachers in the Bible school program at Raiwaqa. Peter currently is in charge of the Bible school program at Raiwaqa and serves as the financial officer for the school. The last woman in our program is Jacinta who is married to Lesio. Lesio is currently being considered for an elder at the Raiwaqa congregation. He has taken a two year sabbatical from his work in order to go through the program so that he can be a better elder. His wife teaches one of the children’s classes at Raiwaqa.
We will highlight some of the men in the next update.

A new Coast Guard cutter commissioned Friday honors a petty officer who was killed in a confrontation with suspected smugglers.
LOS ANGELES — A new Coast Guard cutter commissioned Friday honors a petty officer who was killed in a confrontation with suspected smugglers off the Ventura County coast.
Horne was killed in December 2012 as crew members from the Marina del Rey-based cutter Halibut were maneuvering an inflatable boat near Santa Cruz Island to intercept a panga, a type of boat favored by smugglers trying to bring contraband and people north from Mexico.
The cutters, part of efforts to modernize the Coast Guard fleet, have advanced systems and can reach speeds of 28 knots. Each ship has a crew of 24, a range of 2,500 miles and is capable of patrols lasting up to five days. | 2019-04-24T12:25:28 | https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/2019/03/22/coast-guard-commissions-ship-named-slain-petty-officer/3251091002/ |

OPEN State is a micro-exhibition about the state of work and thoughts by OPEN Architecture. 16 projects from OPEN’s work of the recent few years are included in this exhibit, some built or will be built, others rejected or speculative, they are presented in the upper and lower lines respectively along the time-line. Each project is intentionally presented with reduced information, focusing on the concept and strategies embedded, the very important yet less tangible aspect in architectural projects.
A consistent agenda manifests itself in different forms in all the selected works, which is the effort of creatively crafting joyful urban spaces for the masses within each unique social / urban / programmatic circumstance, where people are better connected with each other and with nature.
The public realm for the masses demands urgent attention. It is more relevant than ever in today’s urban and social context in much of the developing world, especially in China, where OPEN’s practice is situated in. Against a background of ultra speed urban development and a severe lack of joyful public spaces, OPEN has been actively seeking strategies that tackle these problems with each opportunity we have. Architecture is our vehicle as architects to respond to the challenges of our time. | 2019-04-23T22:27:38 | http://openarch.com/task/15 |

Tired of hearing noisy sound upstairs? Tired of living in the basement of your mom and dad? Or do you just want to live the American dream? Whatever reason you have that makes you want to buy your own home, the home buying process can be very exciting and frightening. However, according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors, you are not alone. The number of first-time homebuyers was about 47 percent of all home sales in 2009.
While the thoughts of granite countertops and white picket fences might be dancing in the head, you do not want to be carried off by a dream and be left with a huge bill. This is probably one of the biggest purchases you’ve ever made, so instead of looking for an impulse purchase (like that designer jeans you just bought), arm yourself with lots of research and some quality consultants. It may be the difference between the years of loving the house you are in and asking how long until you can look for the next one.
Take a look at these 5 tips to help you start your own real estate happiness.
You had to study hard to learn on driving before putting yourself behind the wheel. It’s the same with buying a home. Making the wrong decision on your first home can go back haunting you, so why not take some time to learn from the professionals and go straight to the head of the class with your own investment knowledge?
Seminars for first-time homebuyers are offered by urban housing departments and nonprofit organizations. You will find tips on buying a home, financing a purchase, and even keeping your home once purchased. In addition, many of the seminars are free.
Setting your heart on the beautiful five-bedroom property, three and a half feet above the hill, can make you left disappointed if you do not know how much you can afford.
Instead of leaving a cushion on your bank account so your next check would not bounce, you might want to sit down and look seriously at your average monthly budget. Take a hard look at what you’re spending your money – all from your restaurant bill to your dry cleaning account (but not your rent). So, you know what you left after paying all those bills. This is what you will have left on monthly mortgage and home expenses. Do not forget to calculate all of your home-related expenses, plumber visits, etc.
If those numbers do not add to what you want, take this as a starting point to lower and modify your spending patterns. Skip daily milk or put your lunch for a couple of months and see if your budget numbers change for the better.
Face it – when you work on a budget, sometimes you have to compromise. Knowing what you really need can help you reduce home choices and even make decisions more easily when having to bid.
List your needs and wants. Do not forget to include things that are not really part of the house, but important, such as the environment, travel, school systems, and even proximity to entertainment places.
Once you have your priority list, consider bringing it with you as you go looking for a house and write notes in every home. After seeing four different homes on Sunday, this list can help remind you of what you’ve seen and liked or disliked.
Since most people will not pay for their home with cash at the closing table, you may have to take some sort of loan or mortgage. A mortgage is a loan that only uses some property, such as your new home, as collateral, gives the bank the right to take home if the mortgagee does not survive the bargaining period.
Think of your plan on the long run as you explore your mortgage options. You could be one of those people who would never buy another house, so maybe you’re more interested in a 30-year mortgage at a flat rate. However, other couples may see this house as a beginner property they only want to have until their second child is born. They may want a floating rate mortgage.
Shopping around for a mortgage is also a great idea. Some banks may be able to provide different interest rates. When you make your purchase, be sure to compare one apple with another apple, so ask for the same type of loan, terms and amount to get a better understanding of the best deal for you.
Before finalizing your purchase, make sure that the house you intend to buy is free from asbestos, dangerous leads and mold. If you happen to live in Brisbane, the chance of an old house to contain asbestos is very high. You should contact a professional asbestos removal company in Brisbane (https://www.asbestoswatchbrisbane.com.au/asbestos-removal-brisbane/) or asbestos removal endorsement company in Brisbane to help you with this matter. | 2019-04-24T06:20:44 | http://www.sorellaandme.com.au/5-top-tips-first-time-homebuyers/ |
City of Hamilton’s Public Health Services is investigating several cases of Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia that is caused by legionella, a bacterium found primarily in warm water environments.
Public Health has received reports of six cases since the beginning of July which is at the high end of the expected number of cases for this time period. The investigation is focused in the east end of the city. The investigation is determining possible sources of exposure for each case. While the investigation is ongoing no common source is suspected to be the cause of these infections. When looking for sources of exposure, items of concern include air conditioning systems, water cooling towers, humidifiers and hot tubs and spas.
As a preventive measure, Public Health Services has communicated with all cooling tower owners and operators reminding them of the importance of maintaining their cooling tower(s) so as to minimize legionella growth. Local health care providers have also been made aware of the local legionella activity so that they can take any appropriate action with their patients. | 2019-04-23T00:50:29 | http://outbreaknewstoday.com/ontario-hamilton-reports-increase-legionella-cases-70124/ |
Review in a Nutshell: My Plain Jane is a refreshing retelling and filled with endless laugh out loud lines!
My Plain Jane is a companion novel to My Lady Jane, and you don’t need to have read the first book to enjoy this one (except please do read the first one it’s amazing). Instead of retelling history, the authors have taken on a beloved classic, Jane Eyre. All I’ve read of Jane Eyre before this book was a few passages and a couple of retellings, but you really don’t need to know the original to love this book. Some of the jokes are kinda at the expense of the classic novel, but they’re equally funny if you haven’t read it.
I absolutely loved this book. It follows three main characters: Jane Eyre, a penniless orphan who just so happens to have rare ability to see ghosts; Charlotte Bronte, an aspiring author and Jane’s best friend, who dreams of getting away from her horrible school; and Alexander Blackwood, the star agent of the Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits, a group of ghost hunters, who will do anything to get Jane to join them. Charlotte promises to help Alexander get Jane to join the society, but after Jane begins working for the mysterious (and handsome) Mr. Rochester, that may be harder than they expected.
Jane’s plot follows fairly closely to the original story of Jane Eyre for the first third of the book, but through Charlotte and Alexander’s perspectives, some differences and variety is shown. After that first third, however, the book contains so many twists and turns, really becoming its own. The writing style is just as fun as in My Lady Jane, with hilarious asides, countless references, and so, so many jokes. I would say that this book was even funnier than the first, something I really didn’t expect.
The pacing of the book was great, I flew through it, never wanting to put it down. The ghost aspect was also handled well, with just enough rules to make sense but also never overloading you with exposition or ever really feeling like a heavy fantasy read.
I absolutely loved the characters in this book. Charlotte was amazing, and I’ll fight anyone who says differently. Alexander and Jane were also interesting protagonists. Jane could be a little frustrating, but in a purposeful way and other characters were equally annoyed. The relationships had less of a focus in this book than in My Lady Jane, which wasn’t what I was expecting considering it’s a Jane Eyre retelling, but I really appreciated the way they were shown. Honestly, I just love everything about this book.
Cons- ??????? How can I list any cons for a book that brought me so much joy?
My Plain Jane is a hilarious, witty retelling with plenty of twists to keep the story fascinating no matter how well you think you know Jane Eyre. This is the perfect lighthearted, fun read for the summer. | 2019-04-19T11:06:04 | https://caitsbooks.com/2018/06/30/review-my-plain-jane-by-cynthia-hand-brodi-ashton-and-jodi-meadows/ |
TUESDAY, April 30, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Ideal amounts of vitamin D supplementation for breast-feeding infants are unclear, according to a new study.
Vitamin D is important for infant bone growth, but breast-feeding infants are susceptible to vitamin D deficiency due to low levels of the vitamin in breast milk, according to background information included in the study, which was published in the May 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study, by Hope Weiler and colleagues at McGill University in Montreal, included 1-month-old healthy breast-fed infants who were followed for 11 months after being randomly assigned to receive different dosages of oral vitamin D supplements. Doses were either 400, 800, 1,200 or 1,600 international units per day.
None of the dosages raised and maintained vitamin D levels within a range recommended by some pediatric societies, but all the dosages raised and maintained vitamin D levels within a lower range recommended by the Institute of Medicine, according to a journal news release.
The study did not pinpoint the ideal dose of vitamin D for infants, Dr. Steven Abrams, of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, said in an accompanying journal editorial. He wrote, however, that clinicians could be reassured from the findings that a daily vitamin D intake of 400 international units was adequate to maintain blood levels recommended for bone health.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers vitamin D supplementation recommendations for breast-fed infants. | 2019-04-21T02:40:20 | https://consumer.healthday.com/bone-and-joint-information-4/bone-joint-and-tendon-news-72/study-looks-at-vitamin-d-needs-in-breast-fed-babies-675874.html |

A screenshot of the original post sent our by Nuestro’s father Ramir, which sparked the ‘#SignForKim’ campaign.
Sophomore Kimberly Nuestro passed away over the weekend from a medical condition, according to an email from principal Greg Giglio.
Nuestro was wearing her favorite player, Stephen Curry’s number 30 as she was playing for her club basketball team, according to a Facebook post by Nuestro’s father Ramir.
Although a loudspeaker announcement could not be made due to AP testing, each third-period teacher was asked to read a memorial statement from the administration.
Nuestro played JV basketball for two years, and was an avid Warriors fan. The Nuestro family asked the HHS community to wear Warriors gear along with the colors blue and gold on Monday in memory of Nuestro.
On Monday evening, a social media campaign began using ‘#SignForKim.’ Ramir started the campaign with a Facebook post on Monday to try to get the attention of Warriors star Stephen Curry and have him sign Nuestro’s shoes in her honor. Teammates, relatives, friends and community members have since shared the post with a photo of Nuestro from the most recent basketball season.
From the Instagram account @chriscedro. Nuestro’s father Ramir and her former coach Christopher Cedro dropping off her shoes at the Warriors practice facility yesterday.
Students have posted the following picture, tagging Stephen Curry, on multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The hashtag was tweeted over 850 times in the Bay Area’s Twitter radius and was posted over 2,000 times on Instagram. There is no way of tracking the number of hashtag uses on Facebook.
Ramir and Christopher Cedro, one of Nuestro’s former coaches, visited Oracle arena on Tuesday and gave Curry the shoes, according to a post on Cedro’s instagram. Curry said he signed the shoes today, and they will be returned to the Nuestro family.
Photo courtesy of Lindsey Takahashi. This photo of Nuestro from last season was posted with the hashtag ‘SignForKim’ by over 2000 Instagram users.
Administration and the leadership class set up a memorial for students to contribute to throughout the week. Students can drop off photos, flowers and cards for Nuestro and her family. All the items will go to the Nuestro family throughout the week, according to an email from the leadership class.
Counselors are available throughout the week to support students.
The Epitaph: Sophomore Kimberly Nuestro passed away this weekend. She was a huge Warriors fan. Everyone [at HHS] wore Warriors gear on Monday in her honor. Is there a message you want to send to her, her family and the school to show support?
Stephen Curry: This is obviously an unfortunate situation for her family. I heard her story, how much she loved basketball, how much she loved watching us play. For her family to have the support of your school of the community around her but also from the Warriors organization to hopefully give them some support and to hopefully get through this situation as best they can. That’s really all you can do. Basketball’s been obviously a huge part of my life and I know for Kimberly she was so passionate about it. And to know that so many people loved her and honor her name with the Warrior logo and colors and everything at school means a lot. I hope her family can get through this as best they can and they have support from everybody around them.
The Epitaph: The whole social media campaign started with her dad actually posting at you on Facebook. Over 2,000 friends, family members and strangers posted. When did you first hear about the “Sign for Kim” campaign?
Stephen Curry: Two days ago, I think. Our [public relations] people reached out to make sure I knew that it was going on. And a little gesture that I could do [was] just to sign the shoe … I wish I could have met her before she passed. But this is a small token for her family, to I guess know that there’s a lot of people thinking about them. With what they’re going through and to hopefully honor her life with those shoes.
My thoughts and prayers to Nuestro family on the loss of their daughter, Kimberly… May she rest in peace! Thank you, Steph Curry for fulfilling her wish! You are really an inspiration to all!
To the Nuestro family, my prayers are with you ,through this time of sorrow for Kimberly. I feel that she is resting in Jesus arms. She’s at peace. To Stephen Curry you’re blessed and highly favored. I share with Kimberly as a fan. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you Steph Curry for fulfilling my niece wish, God bless your kind heart.
Dear Mr. Steph and OhanaKNuestro!
Our team played at Mission College on Saturday. A young passionate hoopster taken much too soon but living her daily dream of Steph and the Dubs and basketball! I hurt because I also was a lover of hoops, the Dubs, and God all my life…still am.
Thanks, Kimberly and Mr. Steph, for being our MVPs!
I am so sorry to hear about Kimberly’s passing. My heart goes out to the Nuestro family. May Kimberly rest peacefully with the Lord above.
After reading about the tragic loss of your daughter Kimberly, i needed to send my deepest condolences to you family. She was so young and had so much waiting for her. But God had a better plan for her and she is looking upon all of you with that beautiful smile telling you i am okay. Stephen Curry we all love you and what you did showed just the kind of human being you are. Thank you for making kimberlys dream a reality. God Bless all of you. | 2019-04-21T18:52:48 | https://hhsepitaph.com/5164/news/community-gs-warriors-show-support-for-nuestro-family/ |
A LAND OF PROFOUND SILENCE, GREAT LIGHT AND MAGNIFICENT COLOUR. The inspiration for my current work flows directly from the impressions gained whilst painting and travelling in Australia, most recently to Fraser Island near the Queensland coast, where the air is clear and the sky and the sea shine. A stark contrast to my previous visits to Central and Northern Australia, Uluru and the East Kimberley, where one can experience a land of profound silence, great light and magnificent colour. Water holds a special fascination for me, on the coast, in billabongs, in the gorges of Central Australia and of course on Sydney Harbour. Light and water create images of beauty and energy. | 2019-04-24T10:41:08 | http://galleryntk.com.au/index.php?module=photoalbum&PHPWS_AlbumManager_op=list&PHPWS_MAN_PAGE=albums&PAGER_limit=20&PAGER_start=0&PAGER_section=1 |
This article was published 15/2/2011 (2991 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
City paramedics want locations that have been treated for bedbug infestations publicly disclosed in the same way the city publicizes restaurant health violations and city police reveal the location of indoor marijuana grow operations.
On Tuesday, Chris Broughton, president of Manitoba Government and General Employees Union Local 911, which represents Winnipeg paramedics, the bedbug scourge is a growing health risk to emergency personnel and the general public.
"You don't want to create hysteria, but there has to be a balanced public response," Broughton said. "It's also a dicey subject, especially when you start getting into personal health information."
But the risk of people unknowingly spreading the bedbugs outweighs privacy concerns, he added.
"What we need is for people to disclose it to us," he said.
He said the city currently publicizes restaurants that have been forced to close temporarily because of insanitary conditions on a City of Winnipeg web page as a public service.
In the same vein, Winnipeg police use a website to disclose locations where indoor marijuana grow operations have been uncovered. Police say conditions in the house caused by the grow-ops, such as mould spores, could be injurious or dangerous to public health.
The same could be done with buildings that have been treated for bedbugs, Broughton said, so people are more aware of their surroundings.
Plus, it would also give emergency workers a better idea of precautions they need to take, he said.
"We think government needs to take a stronger approach on these issues," Broughton said. "The bedbugs are exploding in our city. No one wants to take their work home with them."
Health officials are currently putting together a province-wide response plan to deal with the bedbug invasion, Premier Greg Selinger said Monday. It will include a public awareness campaign and new ways to kill the pests.
Broughton added there has only been a handful of instances where paramedics have spotted bedbugs on their equipment after treating a patient. That equipment and clothing had to be decontaminated before being used again.
Alex Forrest, president of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg, said several firefighters have also been bitten by bedbugs during the course of their work.
"It's become another hazard of the job that we're being exposed," Forrest said. "All you can do is educate people to minimize the risk, because it really doesn't matter where you go, a movie theatre or restaurant or hotel, you can be exposed. All it takes is one person to bring in a couple of bedbugs and increase the risk."
City police have also said they're also worried about unwittingly picking up bedbugs on calls. A handful of WPS lockers and cruiser cars have been fumigated after single bedbugs were spotted.
"It just boils down to what we're facing in any emergency service... you're going into a variety of different environments," Winnipeg Police Association president Mike Sutherland said in an earlier interview. "These insects are relatively pernicious, and hey, they do like to travel and they spread easily."
Should locations that have been treated for bedbug infestations be publicly disclosed? | 2019-04-26T13:13:43 | https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/disclose-bedbug-sites-paramedics-116296529.html |
I found this awesome art and writing activity at What the Teacher Wants! I am excited about this and so are the kids. I took their pictures while they were working on another project and this week we will be putting it all together and filling out our applications. I can’t wait to see what they write and share with you!
Grumpy reindeer! Haha! He’s a sweet kid.
Saving the planet – Dr. Seuss style!
The amazing Dr. Seuss will soon have a birthday (March 2nd) so kindergarten and I will be getting a jump on the festivities by making some Lorax inspired portraits this week. If you can’t tell from lots of my other projects, I LOVE using the Apple program, Photobooth for art projects. The kids love taking their pictures and its so much fun to put yourself in so many different places.
I came across this photo that inspired this project.
It would have been such a great project that I know I would have enjoyed as a kid. I think (know) my students are enjoying it because I heard one of them say today, “I can’t wait to come back to art.” They didn’t want to give me their papers when it was time to leave because they were enjoying what they were doing too much. I love it. It’s what I live and work each day towards. Even if they don’t love everything about art and think about it constantly like I do, I want them to find SOMETHING they love about art and that they can look back on and say,”I really enjoyed that.” Mission accomplished.
So, we started by taking their pictures with photobooth. Printed them out, cut them out and glued to a plain white sheet of paper. Then I set them loose to draw, doodle, sketch and daydream. Thy are doing a great job and I can’t wait to see their finished pieces.
Okay, so our school’s bookfair is coming up and the theme is “Story Laboratory” and there are mad scientists on the loose, crazy bugs flying around, and beakers of unidentified concoctions overflowing. I love helping out with bookfair decor and this year should be lots of fun.
First, I will take their pictures with Photobooth on my Mac. Of course they will be instructed to look as crazy/mad scientisty as possible.
Next, they will cut out their heads and shoulders and then cut off the top of their heads, where the brain will be hanging out.
I’m using peachy colored paper for the brain, which I know is not accurate but it’s more colorful than gray. Don’t forget to add the arms to hold the book!
After gluing the brain and arms together, they will glue themselves to their background. I’m going to go ahead and give them a background to work on while I take their pictures at the beginning of class.
I use a little 4×6 piece of white paper to make the book. I’ll encourage them to make the cover of their favorite book. Just glue that onto the hands and you’re done!
I think these are going to turn out so great! The classes that have already seen my example are excited. I’ll post again when we are finished.
Fourth grade really enjoyed learning about the queens and pharoahs and all of the art of Ancient Egypt. We looked at tons of photos of monuments, hieroglyphics, sculptures, and sarcophagi. We took their photos using Photobooth on the Mac and then cut their heads and necks out and glued them to a black background. We drew the clothes and head-ware with pencil, first, then added color with oil pastels. They also wrote their names in hieroglyphics and added a frame of gold and silver. They all seemed pleased with their final products!
6th graders studied Andy Warhol and his Marilyn Monroe images before creating their own, updated versions using Photobooth and Pages. We printed in black and white, then colored them with color pencils. | 2019-04-21T00:26:51 | https://tinyartroom.wordpress.com/tag/photobooth/ |
When you are trying to offer good service, too much data or the wrong type can be more problematic than not having enough data in the first place.
Enterprise software specialist Freshworks and the Service Desk Institute researched this topic, and found that over half of the teams they spoke to suffer from this problem.
A massive 55 percent of businesses said they do not find all of their service desk metrics useful or valuable. Only 17 percent measure cost per incident. We spoke to Simon Johnson, General Manager, UK&I at Freshworks to find out more.
One of the main findings was that more than half of businesses don’t find their services desks are offering them useful data. Why are so many getting it wrong?
It’s important to understand why this data is not useful to the business. Is the fault here that people on the business side don’t understand the data they are getting, or is there a misunderstanding of what the business wants? Whatever the reason, this direct information around customer service and experience should be incredibly useful to other teams, from marketing and sales through to product development or operations. It’s therefore important to review the data that gets provided over on a continuous basis, so that it is always useful and valuable.
The fault is therefore less in the data itself, and more in deciding what data points are important for the ITSM team and for the business. Once these points have been discussed and confirmed, it’s then important to spend time on how that data is shared. For example, some teams don’t have an accurate, “apples to apples” comparison across all their channels. If you can’t get a consistent approach across all your channels, this makes the data hard to understand.
For external-facing helpdesk teams, it can be hard to get email, phone and online chat conversations ranked alongside each other. Each of them involves an interaction with a customer, but are the interactions being tracked equally? For internal service desk teams, the problem can exist too.
Another issue is when teams only get asked for numbers – for example, how many tickets get dealt with. You can reply with a number – “2000 tickets” – to that. Originally, that might have been enough. But people change roles, or get replaced, and that number loses its context. If you can’t help someone to understand that this figure is a great result given that half the team were out sick or on holiday, or this is the busiest time of the year, or it’s actually lower than normal due to a new approach that helped offer more self-service … that is a big miss. Context is vital to decision making.
Is this a case of service desks not moving with the times? Can they make changes, when their job involves change management?
The challenge here is that companies want to adopt new approaches to working with customers, and teams have to develop new ways to meet what the business wants around IT. However, this speed of change can make it difficult for existing teams to evolve their processes. This is particularly difficult if your ITSM tools don’t support easy customisation and configuration changes that you can carry out yourself.
ITSM teams should be able to use their existing change management skills to improve. Better planning can help avoid some of the simple challenges. Even just being a fresh pair of eyes on a plan can make things easier.
Are new developments like DevOps helping or hindering service teams?
DevOps was developed to bridge the gap between developers and IT operations – the processes around automation and continuous deployment have improved because of the collaboration here.
The issue is where the boundaries are around collaboration between teams. Getting people involved across the business – so from service and support as well as operations – should be a natural step at the start, but it is all too easy to miss. Opening up discussions with other teams – for example, marketing around customer experience – can help you get involved earlier.
DevOps aligns well with the Agile development philosophy – so ensuring shorter release cycles, and making changes to priorities so that services meet business needs now, rather than what they were expected to be months ago. This emphasis on change should mean that DevOps will help these service teams as they provide input on their requirements as well, and those changes should be implemented quickly too.
I am reminded of Conway’s Law, which was first developed in 1967 – that companies build IT systems and services that match how their teams communicate internally. If you run in silos, then your IT systems will tend to be siloed and stand-alone; if you focus on cross-department initiatives, then your IT will be the same. DevOps can help that process, but it can involve taking baby steps at the beginning.
How can teams learn to use their data more effectively?
Context is really important. According to our research with SDI, around 80 per cent of service desk teams provide monthly reports to the business. However, only 38 per cent of companies provide context on the results that they offer. If you want more teams to make use of your data, then this kind of insight should be added.
It’s also worth looking for stories in your data. When you have common issues come up that affect multiple people, can you find a good example that puts a human face on that problem? This can help paint a picture for others within the business. Combining data with stories can help people understand some of the impact from the decisions they make.
Will AI automate all this anyway?
AI can help automate some of the processes that service and help desk teams go through. It can make it easier to link up the right people to fix a problem faster based around skills.
Similarly, search-driven analytics can help businesses prepare for the future based on the results that they are seeing today.
These results can be used to automatically spot where common issues are coming up and what resources can be provided to help those problems – whether this is new content that can be provided to help users solve their own issues, or additional staffing resources for specific channels that are seeing increased demand from customers. By forecasting resource requirements, you can improve efficiency across the team using AI and automation together.
However, AI is not the answer to everything and skilled staff will be necessary to keep this running. For example, AI can be used to power chatbots, but this relies on your approach to knowledge management. If you don’t have good content that is well ordered and searchable using AI, then your chatbot won’t be effective. This is where your existing staff have a significant role to play on understanding your customers and what their issues are, and how to develop content to meet their needs. Without this, your investment in AI will be wasted.

This picture was taken by Walter Frentz and it showing Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and his entourage with local peasants whilst touring the operation zones of the Einsatzgruppen, Belorussia, 15 August 1941. In the center is SS-Hauptsturmführer Werner Grothmann (Chefadjutant von Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler), while at right is the translator (because Himmler and Grothmann did not speak Russian). During a visit to Minsk, Himmler attended a demonstration of a mass-shooting of Jews in Minsk arranged by Arthur Nebe (Kommandeur Einsatzgruppe B) after which he vomited! Regaining his composure, Himmler decided that alternate methods of killing should be found. He told Heydrich that he was concerned for the mental health of the SS men. Himmler turned to Nebe to devise a more "convenient" method of killing, particularly one that would spare executioners elements of their grisly task. Murder with carbon monoxide gas, already in use in the Reich as part of the euthanasia program, was contemplated, but deemed too cumbersome for the mobile killing operations in the east. By November he made arrangements for any SS men suffering ill health from having participated in executions to be provided with rest and mental health care. | 2019-04-24T08:42:57 | http://ww2colorfarbe.blogspot.com/2016/03/heinrich-himmler-during-visit-to-belarus.html |
LEGO: Female Scientists Need to Stay!!
SAVE THE SCIENTISTS! News broke last week that the LEGO Ideas Research Institute is considered a “limited edition” item and no more sets will be produced for the sold-out set. Thousands of customers are deeply disappointed by this announcement. We want sets like the LEGO Ideas Research Institute to be a long time fixture on toy shelves everywhere, rather than a “limited edition” set only a small group of customers was able to purchase. The line sends an excellent message to children and clearly their is the customer demand to continue production and even expand the line. Please don’t take them away, LEGO!
LEGO has enormous influence over what is marketed to children and what children play with, which is why strong female characters are important for both girls and boys to see represented in LEGO toys. A large section of LEGO’s customer base have used their voices and wallets consistently for three years to communicate they are wanting, ready for, and will purchase sets like the sold out LEGO Ideas Research Institute featuring three female scientists. Please change this “limited edition” set into a Lego mainstay.
Sign the petition to tell LEGO to keep this amazing set!
