This presentation focuses on the various paths interdisciplinary collaboration may take in digital humanities projects. Rose will discuss the evolution of a long-term project, Protest Spaces (protestspaces.org), which has evolved from a GIS mapping project to a global interdisciplinary research network. She will also discuss her new digital humanities project, Gender Studies Resources (gsrdb.org), and the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration with both campus and external colleagues starting from the planning stages of a project. | 2019-04-25T11:59:46 | https://www.csuohio.edu/class/ISS321 |
If A.J. Abrams scores 26 points, you can almost bet that Texas is going to win and that's what happened when the Longhorns eliminated Minnesota, 76-62. Minny never really belonged and making them a 10 seed was an insult to about 15 other teams. Texas has a nice blend of players who should give Duke a struggle in the next round.
Dwayne Anderson and Dante Cunningham each scored 25 points to lead a come-from-behind win by the #3 Villanova Wildcats over a scrappy squad from American University. The Wildcats were down 41-31 at the half, but wore down the Eagles for the 80-67 win.
VCU has a pretty good hoops team. News Flash: UCLA is better. By a point, 65-64. Quite a few people liked VCU to pull off the upset and they almost did. Eric Maynor missed a shot at the buzzer that would have won it. If you stuck with the 11-time tournament champion Bruins, you're bracket looks a lot better than other people's.
#2 seed Duke outclassed tiny Binghamton (15), 86-62.
First mild upset of the tournament went to the 10th seed Wolverines of Michigan, after a lengthy absence of ten years, over Clemson, a seven, the first ACC team down, 62-59. Michigan's Manny Harris had his usual solid game, with 23 points, 7 boards and 6 assists. Michigan has a tougher task Saturday against the 2 seed Sooners.
#4 Gonzaga knocked out #13 Akron, 77-64. The Zips gave the Zags a good game for about 3/4 - a recurring theme this year - until Gonzaga asserted themselves late and pulled away. The game was essentially over with about 7 minutes left. Somebody please tell the Zips that its over.
#2 Oklahoma crushed #15 Morgan St., 82-54. Blake Griffin survived being flipped over the back of another player to score 28 points, while corralling 13 rebounds. Big 12 is 3-0. | 2019-04-19T04:51:51 | http://collegehoops.dtmagazine.com/2009/03/thursday-first-round-late-games.html |

In this part we explain you how to expose metrics to Prometheus.
Configure the gravitee.yml file to enable metrics service. By default, Prometheus support is activated and exposed from the technical API.
By default, the technical API is bind to localhost only, so it must not be invoked outside localhost. If you need to expose the API wider, you may have to set the services.core.http.host property to the correct network interface. If you’re running within a docker container, set the IP to the IP address of the container. Each change requires a restart.
Here is an example to ask Prometheus to scrape the API Gateway technical API where from formatted metrics are available. | 2019-04-26T01:48:34 | https://docs.gravitee.io/ae_installguide_metrics.html |

2019 national election a 'race to the bottom' - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.
Recent polls suggest that voter commitments to political parties have weakened and that a low turnout is very likely.
The political parties that gain most from the election will not be those gain more supporters so much as those that lose fewer of their existing supporters.
In other words how well parties do in May will depend more on their ability to get their supporters to vote than their ability to attract first time voters or poach support from other parties.
The parties that do well will be those that are able to retain a higher proportion of their ‘traditional’ support base.
At the heart of this ‘race to the bottom’ is the reduced credibility of the major parties. The African National Congress (ANC) has been battered by a range of issues including its associated with corruption and economic stagnation.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has been been tainted by the VBS scandal, its reliance on “conspiracies” to garner sympathy as well as its failure to reinvent itself after Jacob Zuma stepped down.
Although the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has recently shown a resurgence in popularity it is set for major changes when Mangosuthu Buthelezi steps down after May.
The IFP will identify Buthelezi’s successor after the election thereby ensuring that supporters are not quite sure of what or whom they will be voting for in May.
The Democratic Alliance’s (DA) strategy remains reliant on capitalising on ANC failures while having dealt with their own leadership issues clumsily. Perhaps their biggest failure is their inability to capitalise on their 2016 Local Government Elections successes.
In 2016 the DA came to dominate coalitions in a number of municipalities including Nelson Mandela Bay, Johannesburg and Tshwane. DA leadership in these municipalities should have inspired confidence in their ability to run the country.
However the quality of leadership in local government has been, at best, mixed with councils under their control proving unresponsive and exclusive.
The positive impact has been undermined by these administrations imposing inordinate rates and services increases during the economic squeeze.
These factors serve to reduce the enthusiasm of each party’s supporters, this in turn will reduce the turnout rate in May. The typical party supporter will be confronted with three choices on election day. Vote for their ‘traditional’ party, vote for a rival or not vote at all. It is rare for voters defect from their political home and support rival parties.
For this to happen the rival party has to convince voters that it will: a) do better than the ‘traditional’ party and b) that they will have an meaningful impact on governance.
The second factor limits the extent to which voters will shift allegiance to smaller political parties. Voters rarely defect to rival parties and the most likely outcome is that the voter simply does not bother to vote.
After the election the political parties will collectively inherit a disillusioned electorate and a rising trust deficit between the populace and those who purport to govern them. | 2019-04-21T14:48:37 | http://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/2019-national-election-a-race-to-the-bottom/ |

Today We, Zarathustra the Cat, would like to speak about Easter bunnies. Once, during Our visit to Albrecht Dürer’s workshop in 1502, We met an extraordinary rabbit (or, to say precisely, a hare), to whom We kindly helped to sit for the great artist.
Hares are “prey” animals in wild nature, which means they are trembling in fear if they think their lives are in danger, it can easily happen in unusual surroundings. The hare which Albrecht Dürer invited to pose, got extremely nervous, and the great master asked Us to comfort him.
Then the hare sat for Dürer but his own, he realized that it was no danger in the artist’s workshop. You may even see a reflection of windows of this place in bunny’s eyes.
The original version with the cat was lost in centuries, and only today We show it to the world.
That is why you may see only a hare alone at the wall of Albertina Gallery, Vienna, where you can find a painting created during later sessions.
Remember how vulnerable bunnies are, and never give rabbits as an Easter gift to children!
Living animals are not toys!
Happy Easter to everybody: humans, cats, and bunnies, and even dogs! | 2019-04-20T12:34:46 | https://fatcatart.com/2018/03/the-cat-and-the-bunny/?lang=en |
Recently, the community of yoga enthusiasts and followers broke out into an uproar. The reason for the digression is due to YogaGlo’s letters it has sent out about a new patent to protect their online fitness classes. The patent involves the “method and technique” used to film yoga classes. In other words, the patent protects the company from individuals placing their cameras in this location: This image shows the teacher is in the middle, and student are on the sided of the camera. U.S. Patent No. 8,605,152 is claimed to cover the “methods and apparatus for yoga class imaging and streaming”. Other claims include: the device for image capturing can’t be at about 3 feet in height, “a studio having a front area and a rear area”, and “a line of sight corridor”. But why would they want to patent a camera position? YogaGlo argues that their patent is to protect the “look and feel” of their online videos. YogaGlo says their videos make you “feel” as if you are in the studio with them even from home. They said they were simply trying to protect their trademark and copyright interests. Also, YogaGlo has already filed for the same patent twice in July and August of this year, but was rejected both times. Finally, the USPTO granted them their patent. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), this patent should not be in place for multiple reasons. For one, their claims are extravagant in the sense that hundreds of yoga instructors record their classes in this manner & similar setup. It is one of the easiest ways to film and instructor as well as other members of the class who may be showing alternative moves. Even an online petition was created to have the patent dropped by YogaGlo. In addition, our patent system is not designed to protect the “look and feel” of things. There has been a growing emphasis on claiming intellectual property rights in this culture. In just 2013 alone, there were over 609,000 patent applications sent to the USPTO compared to 1963, which had 90,000. It makes sense why YogaGlo would feel a need to protect their videos from being copied. In a final battle for their patent & the determination of the yoga community, YogaGlo has decided to drop the case, but they still defend the “atmosphere” of their videos, and still believe there is a valid trademark or copyright interest to protect their business. | 2019-04-18T21:24:12 | https://www.thermnagency.com/yoga-studio-patent/ |

We Can’t Measure Women’s Empowerment the Same Way Everywhere—But Should We Try?
Measuring empowerment is a perennial challenge for those of us evaluating programs targeting women. Last Wednesday’s launch of J-PAL’s new Practical Guide to Measuring Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in Impact Evaluations at CGD was an exciting opportunity be inspired by impact evaluation powerhouse Rachel Glennerster, the former Executive Director of J-PAL and current Chief Economist at DFID, while simultaneously getting a bit discouraged about the quality of existing quantitative measures of empowerment. Here are a few takeaways for economists doing impact evaluations. | 2019-04-25T14:40:29 | https://www.cgdev.org/section/opinions/blogs?f%5B0%5D=field_relate_experts%3A3126771 |

Hi; all went fine except samba which wants 4.8.7 smbclient but it#s smbclient 4.8.4.
Thansk @all for your hard work.
Should be fixed now, please wait your mirror synced.
Hi! Thanks for this update.
I’m having the same issue tomaggio refers to, waiting for the mirror to update on that one.
Also, right after the update I started noticing my desktop freezes for a couple of seconds every now and then. Can this be related to the update? Should I wait for the kernel update currently on testing that seems to address this particular issue? (Note that I didn’t have this issue before the update, or at least not so obvious as it is now).
couple of seconds every now and then. Can this be related to the update?
an issue with your hardware too. Have you looked in the journal?
Thanks for the assistance @totte, I will google this code to see if I need to modify a setting in my system.
from another on the same network when a freeze happens.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to research. Disabling the compositor seems to have fixed the issue.

Rabies has been known to man for thousands of years. Ancient Mesopotamian writings describe these symptoms in dogs along with warnings about their bites. During the Middle Ages, it was quite a problem due to the half-feral dogs that often roamed through villages. It was believed then that the disease was easily transmitted, and people were often killed just on the suspicion that they had contact with a rabid animal.
Louis Pasteur developed the first vaccine treatment for rabies in 1885.
Though we tend to associate rabies with dogs, there are many other mammals that can carry it. In fact, in North America, the more common source of rabies are infected bats. Alternatively, it can be carried and spread by raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes, and even cats. Rodents and rabbits can not carry rabies. The animals don’t necessarily need to look or act ill to be carriers, so don’t use that as your only gauge of potential risk.
Rabies is spread via saliva, so bites are the most dangerous source of infection, though a good scratch can be enough. Technically, a human with advanced rabies could also transmit the disease if they happen to bite someone though is a pretty rare occurrence.
There are several stages of rabies, and the symptoms are fairly unique once they begin to develop. At first, it will seem like the flu, with fever, lethargy and headache. This can last a few days. It’s during this phase that you need to seek treatment, even though you may not even recognize that you have rabies. Being very aware of animal bites or scratches is the key.
After that, there will be neurological symptoms, such as confusion, irrational anxiety, insomnia, anger and paranoia. Once these symptoms begin, rabies is almost certainly fatal. You can also expect delirium and hallucinations at this stage.
Towards the end of its run, rabies can cause another set of symptoms called “hydrophobia” (seen in about 80% of people who get the disease). There is a severe fear of water and drinking, and painful throat spasms when swallowing. In the other 20%, the disease presents with paralysis and muscle weakness instead.
In can also be very important to recognize the symptoms of rabies in afflicted animals, so that you can make extra effort to avoid them or to help you make a diagnosis if you are bitten/scratched. At first an animal will simply have a fever and loss of appetite. This is not likely to be very visible to you in a wild animal, but it is something you might notice with your own pet dog. After that, the more traditional symptoms will start to appear.
Animals will start to be extremely violent and will attack without provocation. There can by seizures, paralysis, disorientation and the stereotypical foaming at the mouth.
If treated immediately, rabies is seldom fatal anymore. But it is not something that can adequately be treated at home with standard medications. So you would have to have access to proper medical care once you are bitten by a rabid animal. Unfortunately, this may not always be available.
The first immediate step is to wash out the wound and rinse with iodine or alcohol to stop the infection from taking hold in the first place.
After that comes the post-exposure vaccine. Even though you take it after being bitten, it is still considered a vaccine because its purpose is to prevent the disease not treat it. More specifically, the treatment is one shot of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and 4 doses of the usual vaccine. You get the HRIG and 1 shot of vaccine ASAP after the bite, then the rest of the shots at 3, 7 and 14 days afterward.
There is a vaccine that can be administered before you are exposed to rabies, but it is not commonly available unless you work with wildlife. If you live in an area where rabies may be a problem, you can ask your doctor about getting vaccinated.
If you are unable to acquire the proper vaccination, you will need to protect yourself from animal bites and scratches.
In a post-disaster scenario, animal pests can be a bigger problem than currently, especially once dogs begin to run wild and could further spread the disease from other mammals. And considering it is one of the few diseases with a 100% fatality rate (when untreated), it should not be taken lightly. Thankfully, it is not contagious between people and is unlikely to spread in a typical pandemic fashion.

In a past life, well over thirty years ago, Shahnaz used to be a stewardess with Air-India. Her travels have taken her around the world many times and Oxford had been on her agenda—in the hoary past. Not remembering anything of the city, she was delighted to have me for a guide in one of my favorite cities in the whole world—my sometime home, the seat of much of my intellectual activity.
We had booked tickets by Megabus from London and, awaking again at the crack of dawn, we boarded one at 7. 30 am from London Victoria to arrive on The High at about 9.00 am. From this time on, our exploration would begin. We resolved to stop for a rest every one hour—and often we did (but not necessarily after each hour).
From High Street into Queens Lane, passing by St. Edmund Hall College and New College. This affords the first glimpses of what Mathew Arnold so memorably called “the dreaming spires” of Oxford.
Detour into Turf Tavern Alleyway to see the home of Jane Burden, Muse to the Pre-Raphaelites and wife of artist William Morris.
A peep into the Turf Tavern, well associated with the fictional Inspector Morse, a creation of the novelist Colin Dexter, and Bill Clinton (both of whom downed countless pints here).
Under the Bridge of Sighs that joins two parts of Hereford College to bring us out on Catte Street.
A glimpse of the Indian Institute with its Indian motifs on the walls—cows, lions, an elephant.
Walk down Holywell Lane to see Holywell House where music recitals are often held. Also the site of the pilot episode in the TV series Lewis which was a spin off from Inspector Morse.
A return to Catte Street and a walk down Parks Road to get to Rhodes House to see the base of all Rhodes Scholars in Oxford in a building with a spectacular rotunda designed by Herbert Baker (who, together with Edwin Lutyens), designed the city of New Delhi.
A visit to the Natural History Museum to see Charles Ludwig Dodgson (Lewis Carol) memorabilia in the special vitrine dedicated to the extinct Dodo bird. We also saw the dinosaur skeletons and wonderful stone sculpted scientists like Darwin and Linneaus.
A visit to the Pitt Rivers Collection in the back of the Museum to see thousands of items collected by Oxford naturalist Pitt Rivers—the Shrunken Heads are the biggest attraction and we saw them (they also feature in an episode of Lewis). We also saw the New Zealand knife that featured in an episode of Inspector Morse (“The Daughters of Cain”). On the advice of a guide, we actually took the elevator to the second floor (a first time for me) for wonderful views of the collection from on high. This enabled us to admire the brilliant architecture of Victorian designers—a feature with which we are familiar as Crawford Market in Bombay looks very similar to this building (as does Empress Market in Karachi). Upstairs, we took in the endless collection of just one man that includes everything you could possibly imagine from terracotta pots of native American Indians to Canadian totem poles, from pointed spears and arrowheads to shell-studded dolls and other toys. It is truly a stupendous collection.
Crossing the street, we entered Keble College—sadly it was not open to visitors at this hour, but we did get a peep into its sunken Quad and had the opportunity to admire its red brick façade which is different from the Gothic exterior of other Oxbridge colleges.
Brisk walk brought us back to The Broad (Broad Street) where we took a much-needed rest in the cafeteria of the new Weston Library. I had a milky Americano and Shanaz had a cappuccino as we rested our feet and took in the grand interiors of Oxford’s newest library and main administrative building. When we felt more relaxed, we nipped into the gallery next door to see a special exhibition called ‘Which Jane Austen?’–a special show to commemorate the author’s second death centenary which falls this year. We saw first editions of her books, much of her correspondence with family members and friends, her portable writing desk and a lot of other wonderful memorabilia. In the adjoining theater, we watched a short film entitled “Jane Austen and the BBC” which showed us clips from many of the BBC versions of Austen’s novels from the 1950s onwards.
Back on The Broad, we entered Blackwell’s, Oxford’s famed bookstore, to see the underground Norrington Rooms—the only underground bookstore in the world.
Quick entry into The White Horse Tavern—also a frequent drinking hole of Inspector Morse and Lewis.
Across The Broad, we entered the Museum of Science to see its biggest attraction—the blackboard used by Albert Einstein when he gave an invited lecture at Oxford. The theory he presented there is still on the board in his own handwriting!
Stroll through Clarendon Court to arrive at the Sheldonian Theater, Christopher Wren’s cupola-ed masterpiece in Oxford. Its horse-shoe shaped amphitheater is used for graduation ceremonies and concert recitals.
Entry into Bodleian Square to see the main building of the Bodleian Library. We went through the main entrance but did not pay the fee to see the Divinity School whose carved pendant stone ceiling and fan vaulting are two of Oxford’s highlights. Instead we nipped into the library’s shop to buy a few souvenirs. We took in the tall main wall of the quadrangle with its classical columns that rise in tiers to present a sculpture of James I in whose time the library was built (with inherited money from his wife by Thomas Bodley—which we had learned on our walking tour of Totnes!).
Through to Radcliff Square where we took in the splendor of one of Oxford’s most sensational buildings—the Radcliff Camera (or Rad Cam as it is known colloquially). Built by James Gibbs in the mid 1700s in neo-classical style, I have had the immense privilege of carrying out research in his member-only reading rooms with their magnificent interior ornamentation. We also took in the twin spires of lovely All Souls College—the scholar’s college–for it only admits scholars who already have a doctorate!
Visit to the Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin which fronts the High Street. Took in the beautiful choir area with its painting of Madonna and Child by Simon Vouet and its chancel sculptures. Saw the pillar at which three of Oxford’s martyrs, Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley, were tried as heathens.
As it was almost 1.00 pm and we had a lunch appointment with my friends Susan and Tony, we hurried off to meet them. We crossed The Broad and arrived at the spot where the three martyrs were actually burned at the stake in the reign of Bloody Mary Tudor, first-born daughter of Henry VIII. Also saw the Martyrs Memorial at St. Giles and then crossed the street towards The Randolf Hotel to hurry towards the Eagle and Child pub (once a haunt of the Inklings—C.S. Lewis of Narnia fame and J.R.R. Tolkien of Hobbit fame). The place was much too tiny and too crowded for us to enjoy lunch there. After a lovely reunion with my friends (in whose home in Grandpont I have often stayed), we walked towards Little Clarendon Street to Carlucci’s—for a taste of authentic Italian cuisine.
Lunch at Carlucci’s gave us a chance to catch up with my friends and to rest our weary feet. I had the two-course set lunch which came with liver pate, onion marmalade and toast points and the linguine with beef ragu for my second course. Other members of our party had risotto verde, spinach and goat cheese ravioli and spaghetti vongole with cappuccinos to follow. It made for a very nice mid-exploration rest as we chatted nineteen to the dozen. What a great thing it is to be able to see my friends at each of these venues and to be able to spend quality time with them even when my schedule is so tight.
After lunch, I escorted Shahnaz to the Ashmolean Museum (one of the world’s greatest museums) to take its self-guided highlights tour—entitled 10 Highlights in an Hour. As I had visited the Ashmolean only six months ago, I thought I could make better use of my time, but I did not want Shahnaz to miss its brilliant offerings. We decided to meet 90 minutes later at a café on The Broad by the very spot of the martyr’s execution. Shahnaz loved the tour, saw most of the highlights and then some, while I raced off to the Oxfam shop to look for vintage treasures and then to the shoe section in Marks and Spencer on George Street as we had left almost no time for any kind of shopping in our crowded itinerary and I needed to find a pair of wide-toed black shoes (which I always buy from Marks). Sadly, I did not find anything I liked.
Ninety minutes later at the appointed spot, Shahnaz and I reunited. It was time to take her into one of the colleges which opens to visitors between 2 and 5 pm daily. Into Turl Street we went as I took her, naturally, into Exeter College that I know best from my own student and teaching days there. We entered through the Porter’s Lodge and saw the lovely Quad as we made our way into the chapel that was designed by George Gilbert Scott (who also designed the Library at the University of Bombay that I have also used). The library connection I share in both India and Oxford with this architect is a very special matter of interest to me. We took in the gorgeous Byzantine altar with its gold mosaics, the tapestry by Edward Burne-Jones, one of the college’s Pre-Raphaelite alumni, entitled The Adoration of the Magi for which Jane Burden (whose home we had seen in Turf Tavern passage) had posed. We also took in the beautifully painted organ and the Irish Celtic floor tiles around the altar. The stained glass windows, however, are a highlight of the chapel for they are based on the royaume style of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and feature tiny pieces of glass held together by lead through which the sun shines with jeweled colors. In fact, the outside of the chapel also features the distinctive spire that is also inspired by Paris’ Sainte-Chapelle.
Off to the Margary Quadrangle we went so that I could point out to Shahnaz the room I had occupied in Oxford We also took in the underground lecture rooms in which, in recent years, I have taught at the college’s summer school (which I had once attended as a student myself). We also nipped into the Junior Common Room which led to the Fellows’ Garden at the back. Crossing the Fellows’ Garden (on what appeared to be Open House Day), we climbed steps leading to the ramparts and walls of the college. Perched up here, one receives some of the best views of Radcliffe Square from a height. We rested again, took a few pictures, and then continued with our tour as there was still so much to see. Poor Shahnaz would have begun to feel seriously fatigued by this point but she wished to press on to take everything in.
We returned to Turl Street and made a detour into the Covered Market so that she could see the stalls and shops, some of which date from a few hundred years. There are butchers, bakers and candle-stick makers in these precincts and it is always a pleasure to get a glimpse into the vendors’ wares.
Back on The High, we walked towards Carfax to see the confluence of the four main crossroads that have stood on this site from ancient times: Cornmarket Street (its name says everything), High Street, George Street and St. Aldgate’s.
Walking down St. Aldgates, we nipped into Oxford’s Town Hall where Shahnaz learned a bit about the Town Versus Gown controversy that has long persisted in these parts. Although it is normally closed to visitors and can be seen only on an official conducted tour that occurs just once a month, the guard permitted us to climb the steps and enter the spectacular Main Assembly Room with its incredibly detailed and very lavish interior decoration that consists of rich plaster work on ceiling and walls with the added attraction of embossed cherubs that jut out in the most appealing way.
Leaving the Town Hall, we walked down St. Aldgates and made a detour down Bear Lane so that I could take Shahnaz to a pub called The Bear which has a distinctive collections of thousands of ties in glass cases on its ceiling and walls. There was a time when the publican would take a tie from patrons in lieu of money for a drink. Thus, he amassed a vast collection, each of which is lovingly labelled and dated! Needless to say, it is no longer possible to pay for a drink in that fashion! Probably the fact that there is no more room anywhere to display the ties accounts for the discontinuation of the practice!
We then entered the precincts of Christ Church College which was built by Cardinal Wolsey and then taken over by Henry VIII—it boasts the largest Quad in Oxford and unfinished cloisters. Since Evensong would begin in half an hour, we decided to attend it. So off we walked to Christ Church’s Perennial Gardens which offers a lovey backdrop for clicking pictures. We had no time or energy to walk across the Meadows towards the river, but we did cross the street to inspect Alice’s Shop (which was closed) as Lewis Carol was a mathematics don at Christ Church and his novel Alice in Wonderland was motivated by a cruise down the river Thames to which he had treated 10-year old Alice Liddel, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church.
We re-entered Christ Church and made our way towards its Cathedral to attend Evensong which began at 6.00 pm. It was the second Evensong service we would attend on this trip (having attended also at Exeter Cathedral). This one was far better as it included child choristers who brought a decidedly angelic sound to the singing. We left at 6.30 as we had a coach back to London at 7. 15 and did not want to be late.
We nipped into M&S to pick up some food that we could eat on the coach back to London. We arrived at our bus stop on The High at 7.05 and were actually able to catch the earlier coach to arrive in London at about 8.45 pm.
Of course, it was a whirlwind tour. But I have to say that Shahnaz loved every second of it—for so she told me! There was simply no way she could have squeezed so much into her day had it not been for her willing spirit. By the time we arrived at Marble Arch, we had rested a great deal. We had also spied en route the darkened skeleton of the Grenfell Tower building that had succumbed to a very tragic fire only a couple of weeks ago.
From Marble Arch, we jumped into a bus that took us directly to Battersea where we dressed for bed and gratefully sank down to sleep.

I did not wish to leave our accommodation in Holborn without saying hello to Arben, the concierge at the former building in Holborn that I had occupied, a few years ago. And so, on my way to the colloquium, I set out just a little early in order to walk to 7 High Holborn. I was delighted to meet him and spend about ten minutes chatting with him and finding out about his family’s successes. Then walking quickly towards Bloomsbury, I arrived at our campus at NYU.
The last day of our Colloquium at NYU dawned in what seemed like a heartbeat. The final panel was as absorbing as the others had been—plus we had a fine summing-up of the day’s many lessons and the things we would take back to our teaching practice. By the time it ended, my head was simply swimming with ideas that I would like to experiment with and include in my own pedagogy. Plus, I had made friends with some really fascinating colleagues whose research interests were a real eye-opener. All of us felt that it had been a very successful conference indeed and we were far richer for having attended it.
Although many of our colleagues had already started making their steps home-ward, quite a large contingent of us were present for the farewell luncheon that was held at a Peruvian restaurant called Pisq. Now I had never eaten Peruvian food before and did not know what to expect. But being a foodie and always ready for a new gastronomic experience, I looked forward to the meal.
We were offered a few choices from a set three-course meal that was very impressive indeed. I started with the Sea Bass Seviche which was my first time trying seviche. I found it absolutely delicious—soaked in lime juice that had ‘cooked’ the fish to a tender consistency, it was terrific. My ‘main’ was actually two choices—as my colleague Afrodesia and I decided to split two of them: I opted for the Steak Tips and she had the Pork Belly—hers turned out to be better than mine, but they were both palatable (if not outstanding). For dessert, I opted for the Chocolate Mousse served with Matcha ice-cream (the mousse was glorious, the ice-cream was the blandest, most tasteless kind I have had—it was not even sweet enough for my palate). Still, as meals go, it was a treat to share it with my colleagues who were all filled with the sense of recent accomplishment at having made presentations that were so well-received.
I did not waste much time after lunch, but walked with Brendan to my office at NYU to meet Quentin from the IT Helpdesk who was helping me send a grant application online. As soon as I managed to get the task done, I left our Bloomsbury campus and took the bus to Piccadilly where I was scheduled to meet Shahnaz who had spent the entire day at the National Gallery taking Highlights Tours, attending shorter gallery lectures and even learning to sketch. Best of all, she had managed once again to get us day tickets to see The Goat or Who is Sylvia by Edward Albee at the Theater Royal Haymarket which she had reached at 10.00 am.
I was much too stuffed with our three-course lunch to even contemplate dinner but Shahnaz was starving (not having taken a break for lunch during her day at the British Museum) and when I spied a “Two Drinks for the Price of One” deal at the Kitchen Market, a restaurant at Haymarket, I suggested we go there for sundowners before the show. How annoying it was to find out that we could not have one drink each for the price of one—we had to each have two drinks and pay for just one!!! The cocktails we chose are far from memorable but Shahnaz did tuck into a Chicken Cesar Salad (which I also nibbled) before we rushed off to see the play.
Damien Lewis, Sophie Okenedo and Jason Hughes in The Goat or Who is Sylvia?
All I knew about this play is that Albee wrote it and Damien (Brody of Homeland fame) Lewis was in it. That was enough for me to feel determined to see it. And at five pounds (yes, five pounds because apparently our seats offered ‘restricted’ views), we were in the theater and seeing what I think is probably the best drama I have ever seen! Seriously! The play itself is perfection in terms of construction, writing and wit. As might be guessed, it is about a middle-aged architect with a very successful marriage and a teenaged son who falls in love with a goat! The consequences of his infatuation threaten to tear his marriage and life apart until the awful and quite unexpected denouement.
The performances were simply unbelievable. Lewis, of course, stole the show…but he was ably matched by his co-star Okenedo (who, I believe I have seen in Selma). Jason Hughes whose performances as Sergeant Ben in Midsomer Murders was also excellent (although he has put on heaps of weight and I had difficultly even placing him). The young chap who played Lewis’ son was amazing for his age and shows all the makings of a future star. Truly, we could not believe that we were enjoying such stupendous theater for the cost of a cup of coffee in Starbucks! It more than made up for our previous night’s disappointment over Annie.
Flushed with the joy of seeing a really superb piece of work, and finding that it was still very bright when we emerged from the theater, Shahnaz and I decided to take a very long walk—we arrived at Trafalgar Square (its fountains and Edward Landseer’s lions beautifully illuminated), turned down Whitehall and stopped to take pictures at the Cenotaph. Across the street, we admired the lovely military and memorial sculptures along Whitehall before we arrived at Charles Barry’s beautiful buildings that comprise London’s Houses of Parliament where we took many pictures with Big Ben in the background. Not content with reaching the banks of the Thames, we walked along the Embankment past Westminster Pier and took more pictures with the London Eye and the Royal Festival Hall in the background. Past Charing Cross we strolled until we arrived at the Theater District. We entered Covent Garden which wore a strangely deserted look and jumped into the Tube for one station as Shahnaz was so pooped, she could barely take another step. She is learning rapidly exactly what it means to take a trip with me! No doubt, when she gets home, she will need a vacation from her vacation.
It was about midnight when we arrived in our room at the hotel—thrilled with the last night of the first lap of our travels. We would be leaving early the next morning for Devon—so we showered super quickly, got our things all packed up and ready, set our alarm for 5.30 am to leave our hotel at 6.00 am to catch the 7.30 am coach to Devon.

HOUSTON, TX – April 30, 2010 — Rockland Capital, LLC (“Rockland”) announced today that its affiliate, RC La Paloma Holdings, LLC, is acquiring an interest in the La Paloma Generating Plant (“La Paloma”), a natural gas-fired power facility located in McKittrick, California. At the same time, Rockland entered into an agreement to oversee management of the facility. NAES Corporation will serve as plant operator.
La Paloma, a 1,022 megawatt combined cycle facility, began commercial operation in 2003 and is located approximately 110 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Its four units employ Alstom’s GT-24 technology, making the plant one of the most efficient in southern California.
The transaction comes immediately following the negotiated foreclosure of Complete Energy Holdings’ majority interest in La Paloma by a lender group led by Trust Company of the West (“TCW”).
“Rockland’s experience in California and our expertise in optimizing power assets make us an ideal fit to own and manage this facility,” said Scott Harlan, Managing Partner of Rockland Capital. | 2019-04-23T00:00:48 | http://www.rocklandcapital.com/rockland-capital-announces-investment-in-la-paloma/ |
Home Roundup Gel How does Roundup Gel kill weeds?
The Roundup Gel sticks to the leaf and the Roundup is then absorbed into the leaf and into the sap stream of the weed. It travels around the weed through the sap stream to the roots and growing points. Here it simply stops the weed from growing and the weed gradually dies. The amount of time it will take for the weed to die will depend on a few things; the size of the weed, the depth of the roots and the time of year. Roundup is most effective when weeds are green and growing. And because Roundup only works inside the weed and is inactive in the soil, this leaves the soil free for use and replanting. | 2019-04-19T04:49:42 | https://www.roundup-garden.co.za/roundup-gel/how-does-roundup-gel-kill-weeds |
Covariance models are a powerful description of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) families that can be used to search nucleotide databases for new members of these ncRNA families. Currently, estimation of the parameters of a covariance model (state transition and emission scores) is based only on the observed frequencies of mutations, insertions, and deletions in known ncRNA sequences. For families with very few known members, this can result in rather uninformative models where the consensus sequence has a good score and most deviations from consensus have a fairly uniform poor score. It is proposed here to combine the traditional observed-frequency information with known information about free energy changes in RNA helix formation and loop length changes. More thermodynamically probable deviations from the consensus sequence will then be favored in database search. The thermodynamic information may be incorporated into the models as informative priors that depend on neighboring consensus nucleotides and on loop lengths.

2017 has left climate deniers with nowhere to go. Merciless hurricanes, heatwaves, floods, and droughts swept the planet all year, along with impossible-sounding fires – in icy Greenland; and in California in December. All are an early taste of what life on a hotter world would be like. Public opinion recognises the link with climate change, with international polls showing that worries about global warming are now at record levels with vanishingly few people thinking it’s a hoax.
Oh, goodness, some weather events happened! We should totally believe that they were caused by Someone Else driving a fossil fueled vehicles!!!!!!!!
Yet the climate war is far from over. While climate denial may have lost, there is another problem: climate apathy. Most people understand climate change is happening, but just don’t think about it much and don’t accept they should change their lives to deal with it. This matters because stopping dangerous climate change won’t be possible with only popular measures like replacing coal power stations with solar panels. There will have to be difficult changes too, like cutting emissions from flying and meat eating. So long as many people are apathetic, governments will avoid the hard changes that are also needed.
One long-standing reason for apathy is the way climate change often feels like a distant problem, something for polar bears and future generations. So it matters that climate change is now devastating places where emissions need to fall. Those of us who want faster action shouldn’t hold back from pointing out that this is what would become normal if emissions don’t fall.
Interestingly, climate apathy is something that can be assigned to members of the Cult of Climastrology. They are the ones who are constantly bleating about doom, whether it be future doom or ZOMG CLIMATE CHANGE IS HERE!!!!!!!, yet, they take few actions in their own lives to mitigate their own carbon footprint. They’re super enthused to institute carbon taxes/fees on Other People, along with restrictions on That Guy and the way they run their lives, but Warmists are rather apathetic about doing more themselves other than go to a rally (in a fossil fueled vehicle) and complain online. | 2019-04-22T08:36:33 | https://rightwingnews.com/climate-change/2017-year-climate-denial-died-something/ |

In all the rush to Christmas each year (guilty, guilty, GUILTY!) we (me) tend to overlook Thanksgiving and its non-gastronomic appeals. Since my turkey day decor tends to be limited to, well, turkeys, I went in search of a little inspiration. May the settings below inspire a little fall creativity at your own table.
peacock feathered porcelain make the setting distinct.
Wainwright dinnerware, hand embellished in 22 karate gold, at Horchow.
A talented home decorator at Flickr combines a number of pieces to stunning effect.
Cottage country from Ballard Designs. Very simple, very cozy.
For your straight-forward homecooked Thanksgiving.
and candle glow make a warm holiday setting.
ready for Christmas, too (for an added touch, serve soup in the pumpkin bowl).
A literal interpretation of Turkey Day, from Horchow (English earthenware by Spode).
and holly, try these for a new tradition.
that would look lovely in a cottage-style home.
All images attributed in captions above.
Thanksgiving to me is all about using natural elements, linen, corn, berries, leaves and things to share. When I host, I illustrate and calligraphy each place card. Simple touches for a day to enjoy, a day to gather and to give thanks.
That second image is my favorite. I am not great at decorating for Thanksgiving. Usually a zillion white pumpkins. I am going to do better this year. You have inspired me!
love the paper pumpkin placecards(how alliterative was that!), but you can't go wrong with a cheetah print charger! decor-wise i use beaded pumpkins and gourds and fresh flowers. perhaps i'll post a pic or two while i hide out in my guest room from my extended family!
Beautiful! Love that gold coil design. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Skyla. | 2019-04-25T13:18:13 | http://sfair.blogspot.com.sanityfairblog.com/2009/11/thanksgiving-table.html |
Look what arrived today!! It’s the new FOILED COLLECTION from Makeup Geek! Since I just received them today, this is going to be a swatches and ‘first impressions’ type post.
FOILED Lip Gloss is the perfect mash-up of highly reflective, metallic shine, and the newest gloss technology, making it far more long-lasting – up to 6 hours per application. The luxurious, color-rich lip cream is extremely comfortable to wear and offers the mirror-like metallic look of our FOILED Makeup Collection. To ensure limitless options, we’ve formulated FOILED Lip Gloss with a completely customizable finish. Apply a single swipe for a beautifully translucent pop of color with a brilliant reflective shine. Or apply multiple layers for rich, opulently opaque color, with a dazzlingly metallic finish.
So first impressions… the packaging is gorgeous. MUG has really been stepping up their game in that department.
Let me start off by saying, these aren’t the kind of lip glosses you can put on without a mirror. Unless you’re a lot more talented than I am, I suppose. What I’m trying to say is that they’re super pigmented. And they don’t have a discernable scent or taste that I can notice.
Here’s some swatches in sunlight, so you can see the shimmer.
BACKSTAGE is a deep purple with blue reflects. ACOUSTIC is an ox blood red. DRUMROLL is a mid-toned purple with pink reflects. GROUPIE is a bright fuchsia with purple reflects. REPLAY is a bright pinky coral.
VINYL is purplish taupe with silver reflects. HEADLINER is a rich copper. MIXTAPE is a rosy plum. SET LIST is a medium rose with light pink reflects. VIP is a light peachy pink.
I don’t find the formula to be especially sticky, my hair doesn’t stick to it or anything. I haven’t tested them for longevity yet because I’ve switching colors every hour or two. I don’t think that they’d last 6 hours like they suggested but I’d estimate that you could easily get a solid 3- 4 hours of wear.
My favorite colors are definitely VIP, SET LIST and MIXTAPE. And if I was feeling daring, I’d go with HEADLINER, DRUMROLL or ACOUSTIC.
I’m not a huge wearer of lip gloss but I can already tell you that I’m going to get a ton of use out of those last three. I’ll update you guys on my thoughts after I continue playing with them for a few more days. But so far I’m in love with the neutral shades.

The most Kimel families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1840 there were 2 Kimel families living in Ohio. This was about 67% of all the recorded Kimel's in the USA. Ohio had the highest population of Kimel families in 1840.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Kimel surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Kimel ancestors do for a living?
In 1880, the most common Kimel occupation in the USA was Farmer. 38% of Kimel's were Farmers. Farmer, Laborer and Keeping House were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Kimel. A less common occupation for the Kimel family was Blacksmith.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Kimel ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Kimel family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Kimel. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Kimel census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.

Prato's textile tradition is ecologically sustainable by vocation. We just need to remember that reclaimed wool, which starting in the nineteenth century made the fortune of this area, reuses scraps and waste that would otherwise be disposed of in the environment, and does not need dyeing, which is by far the most polluting manufacturing stage. As a result of its propensity for environmental sustainability, and fully aware of the importance of this aspect in contemporary industry, including in fashion, the Prato district is the first in the world to join the Greenpeace "Detox" project.
In order to reduce processes and materials with a high environmental impact, the project aims to eliminate, by 2020, 11 classes of pollutants discharged into water courses during textile manufacturing processes.
Since the launch of the campaign, 27 member companies of Confindustria Toscana Nord have subscribed to the Detox protocol, and banned the use of a number of chemical substances in industrial processing. | 2019-04-21T10:04:53 | http://www.cittadiprato.it/EN/Sezioni/225/Textile-sector-and-sustainability/ |

You don’t need to be lucky to become wealthy. Like everything else in your life, wealth is the result of conscious manifestation. Conscious manifestation is the science of altering and experiencing reality as you wish .The key word here is ‘conscious’. Because we are manifesting all the time, whether we are aware of it or not! Health, relationships, abundance or even poverty - we attract the reality we want to experience. You carry your own wealth blueprint Each of us carries our personal equation with wealth. If you are experiencing wealth struggles, chances are you’re carrying an unconscious tendency to mistrust, fear or shrink from inviting abundance into your life. Resolving this problem is the first step towards transforming your wealth equation. Most often, the answers lie in our past relationship with wealth - ideas we were fed as children, past failures, or some decisions we made. With simple understanding and awareness, you can alter your conscious equation with wealth. The unconscious ideas we carry about wealth are deeper and more difficult to uproot. But it’s not impossible! Meditation is one powerful way to root out the unconscious ideas and decisions that are sabotaging your efforts to get and stay wealthy. You have the power If our unconscious decisions can have the power to manifest our reality, imagine what we could do if we applied the same power with conscious intent? Whether we accept it or not, we carry an incredible potential within us to alter the events of our life. What the Vedic tradition calls Kundalini shakti is that space of infinite potentiality, the womb of superconsciousness hidden in each of us. Kundalini is a space of such concentrated potential that any seed you insert into this space of will manifest directly as reality. Using Kundalini power to alter your wealth blueprint is to wipe out all your wealth issues in a single stroke. If we can access that space in us, wealth would be no more than a single conscious decision. Fortunately, Kundalini is not some mysterious force as we imagine. With the right techniques and guidance, you can awaken this tremendous potential energy and channel it to manifest wealth and much more in your life.
Does that sound like a surprising question? | 2019-04-23T07:02:40 | http://nithyananda.org/article/three-understandings-manifesting-wealth-0 |

Measures of aging with disability in U.S. secondary data sets: Results of a scoping review.
Title Measures of aging with disability in U.S. secondary data sets: Results of a scoping review.
BACKGROUND: There remain significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of aging with long-term disability. It is possible that important advances in knowledge could be gained using existing secondary data sets. However, little is known regarding which of the data sets available to researchers contain the age-related measures needed for this purpose, specifically age of onset and/or duration of disability measures. OBJECTIVE: To better understand the capacity to investigate aging with long-term disability (e.g. mobility limitation) and aging with long-term chronic conditions (e.g. spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis) using extant data. METHODS: Public use national and regional data sets were identified through existing reports, web-based searches, and expert nomination. The age- and disability-related variables, including age of onset and duration of disability, were tabulated for data sets meeting inclusion criteria. Analysis was descriptive. RESULTS: A total of N = 44 data sets were reviewed. Of these, 22 contained both age and disability variables. Within these 22 data sets, 9 contained an age of onset or duration of disability variable. Six of the nine data sets contained age of diagnosis for a single or set of health conditions. Onset of functional limitation is in two, and onset of self-reported and/or employment disability is in four, of the nine data sets respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There is some, but limited opportunity to investigate aging with long-term disability in extant U.S. public use secondary data sets. | 2019-04-25T16:50:00 | http://agerrtc.washington.edu/node/236 |
British explorer David Cowper has become the first to transit the Hecla and Fury straits since the route was discovered in 1822. Adrian Morgan reports on one of the most respected marine explorers of all time.
British sailor and explorer David Cowper has successfully transited one of the most difficult routes of the North West Passage, the Hecla and Fury Straits. On 27 August, accompanied by his son, Fred, Cowper became the first to navigate through this passage since William Parry discovered it in 1822 with the ships HMS Hecla and HMS Fury.
He departed from Maryport in Cumbria at the end of July in his strengthened and specially designed 48ft aluminium motorboat Polar Bound, navigating singlehanded to Greenland. Then, joined by his son, he continued beyond the Arctic Circle, and south of Baffin and Victoria Islands on a route considered by some to be the world’s most difficult.
The boat was nearly pitchpoled and father and son were bruised from being thrown around. They lay ahull for several hours until the tide turned. David Cowper noted: ‘conditions were atrocious’.
Polar Bound was designed by Dennis Davidson of Murray Cormack Associates and built by New Century Marine in one of the former minesweeper sheds at the old McGruers yard in Rosneath that Cowper owns. She is shaped like an egg – Cowper would rather describe her as ‘spoon-shaped’ – albeit an egg designed not to crack even under the pressure of 65 tonnes of ice.
Well known in the 1970s for his sailing exploits, Cowper undertook two circumnavigations in the Huisman-built 41ft sloop Ocean Bound. In 1979 he broke Francis Chichester’s record by a day, and two years later, sailing the ‘wrong’ way, beat Chay Blyth’s record (in the much larger British Steel) by 72 days. Before that he raced his 30ft Wanderer sloop Airedale in the 1974 Observer Round Britain and was an OSTAR entrant in 1976.
Cowper’s move from sail to power in 1984 was logical: whereas ice is ubiquitous in the polar regions, wind is often absent. A ‘shakedown’ cruise round the world in the 42ft cold-moulded former lifeboat Mabel E Holland made Cowper the first person to circumnavigate solo via the Panama Canal in a motor boat.
In July 1986 he left for the Arctic at the start of a solo voyage that was to last four years: via the North West Passage, during which Mabel E Holland survived a sinking while overwintering at Fort Ross, thence round the world for a second time to arrive back in Newcastle in September 1990.
Prior to this summer’s Hecla and Fury voyage, Polar Bound underwent a two-year refit, having successfully returned from the Arctic after Cowper’s fifth – and most audacious – transit of the North West Passage, via the McClure Strait, the most northerly of the seven routes, one of a number of ‘firsts’ achieved by this most modest of seafarers.
Polar Bound’s refit has been forensic. Cowper leads me down the double-dogged forehatch in the forepeak, where shelves of plastic boxes contain everything he will need on a voyage he says will last one, maybe two – who knows – three years? A vicious-looking old wooden-handled RNLI boathook rests against the hull, a relic from the Watson, used for cutting weed off clogged propellers.
Watertight bulkheads separate this from the engine room and bow compartment. The space is immensely strong. This is the second line of defence, the first being a stem, already super-strong, further protected by a sharp, hefty strip of aluminium.
Every seacock and valve is accessible; every one has been dismantled and greased. Cowper has a tool for everything. A Dickinson Bering stove in the saloon, insulated with one tonne of rock wool, has been nickel-plated. “I hate rust,” he says with a passion you might express about mice in the rafters.
Cowper was the first person to transit the McClure Strait, the most northerly navigable route of the Canadian North West Passage.
Meticulous planning underpins everything he does. The 18mm toughened glass wheelhouse windows, as fitted to RNLI lifeboats, and 10mm polycarbonate side windows – Polar Bound is self-righting – have been removed and rebedded; the wipers – “very poor, all mixtures of metals” – dismantled and rebuilt.
Meticulous, but frugal. The man himself is spare. The shower looks unused. “Clean people don’t need a shower,” he says, apparently quite seriously, although I can’t be sure.
Yet expense is not spared on the essentials. The air-damped wheelhouse seat was bought cheaply off a police boat. Polar Bound carries £20,000 worth of diesel, much of which he intends to buy in Greenland “where it’s subsidised”.
At the heart of every Polar Bound voyage is a piece of reciprocating machinery that must match its owner in strength, resilience and reliability: the Gardner eight-cylinder LXB 150hp diesel engine that for thousands of sea miles in polar, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Antarctic waters has turned a four-bladed 3ft bronze propeller (one of two; he carries a spare). At a steady 900 revolutions per minute, hour after hour, day after day, it is akin to a human heart, and just as vital.
A fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, with a business to run back in Newcastle, Cowper is still at work, as frequent calls to his mobile attest. In 1986, returning from the Arctic, where Mabel E Holland had been left after failing to force the Bellot Strait, he worked his passage home on the Esso Imperial “peeling potatoes”.
His first yacht, the 30ft Laurent Giles Wanderer Airedale, he bought as a student for £5,000. “All my money at the time,” he recalls.
Besides, sponsorship would bring with it obligations: to talk, interview, lecture, endorse, meet people. Not that he shows the slightest unease or reticence, let alone irritation, at answering questions and is comfortable in front of a camera. You get the impression that he would relish a little more recognition, but the relative lack of it does not bother him unduly. Named Yachtsman of the Year in 1990, he has a devoted following among those who matter, which is all that matters to him.
Those records cannot lie: his Ocean Bound feats aside, he will always be first to circumnavigate the world non-stop in a motor boat and to transit the North West Passage alone, and more besides. Between 2009 and 2011 he completed the voyage westward through the passage, down the coast of South America to the Antarctic, South Georgia – “My favourite place; special, unmolested wildlife” – via Cape Town to Australia, Fiji, Hawaii and doubling back again east, via the Passage. It was his sixth solo circumnavigation, and another first.
Jane Maufe – his somewhat younger, able crew and companion – who was aboard for his 2012 transit via the McClure Strait, describes him as “a perfectionist” and “old school, in the nicest possible way”.
So why is he not better known? It could be down to his age, lack of vanity, or quite simply the fact that most people see the world as a Mercator projection. It is only when you look at a globe that you can grasp what the “circumnavigation via the poles” – something Cowper has achieved twice, both east to west and vice versa – means.
It means hundreds of hours alone at the wheel, plugging on; of stifling fogs and brutal gales, and a vista of endless ice. Of bergs and bergy bits, and searching for elusive leads; of backtracking and frustration, danger. And always ice, the lure of which has drawn explorers north and south for centuries.
To Cowper the Arctic means “going into an antiques shop; back into history” where the shades and in some cases the bones of famous explorers still reside. Of McClure, Parry, McClintock, Franklin, Bellot and Ross, whose names are forever associated with straits, sounds and passages. There is now a Mabel E Holland Point at Fort Ross, near where she sank over the winter and Cowper raised her.
At his early Victorian house in Newcastle – formerly owned by the Barbour family – he stores a vast amount of gear, equipment and charts, as well as a collection of first editions of great explorers. Either he has a keen eye for their future value or, more likely, feels he is sailing in their wake.
There are clear exceptions: his son Freddie who accompanied him for several legs of previous voyages to Norway, the Azores and Iceland, and Jane Maufe, who shares his unflappable enthusiasm.
A highly competent crew, companion in adversity, diplomat, negotiator and fellow adventurer, she recalls being handed a Browning rifle at Fort Ross: “David wanders away completely unarmed with the bullets in his pocket and tells me that if I meet a bear I should click two stones together, then it buggers off.” It was a threat not to be taken lightly as a polar bear once “bounced up and down” on the Tinker Traveller that Polar Bound carries under a derrick on the aft deck.
Fact: Polar Bound is uninsured. “I just try to make sure everything is 100 per cent,” says Cowper. | 2019-04-21T14:07:35 | https://www.yachtingworld.com/extraordinary-boats/polar-bound-extraordinary-david-cowper-purpose-built-aluminium-vessel-94424 |
Good evening. I always feel incredibly proud to stand here and look across a room packed with people who share our passion for safer streets and support for road crash victims, people who work so hard alongside us. I’m especially proud to do this now, alongside Brake’s CE and founder, in Brake’s 20th year.
Brake remains relatively small, but we are growing in size, reach and influence. We’re doing more each year, with your help. We now have 30 staff members, and an income of £1.1 million. We work incredibly hard with limited resources, to speak out, inform, educate, engage and support.
Last year our helpline supported more families devastated by road death and injury than ever before: 545 cases, through 2,000 calls and emails, including for the first time many UK families bereaved through crashes abroad thanks to partnership working with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
We were thrilled to receive accreditation from the Helplines Partnership, recognising the quality of our support, which includes emotional comfort, practical and procedural advice, signposting and advocacy. Feedback shows the enormous difference this makes to so many suffering victims.
But as we move into 2015, we’re conscious that not all road crash victims can access our help, and despite your backing, our team remains stretched. Hence we’re seeking increased funding to develop our serious injury support, partnership work with hospitals, and grow our capacity so we can move, alongside our partners, towards all crash victims being referred to support.
As well as developing our support work, we continued to engage communities across the UK, helping them raise awareness to prevent casualties. Last year 53,000 children marched for road safety in our Giant Walk, and learnt some key lessons on the way. We engaged 500 nurseries in our long-running Beep Beep! Day initiative.
Community engagement is another key area of development for us. We want to run our projects for schools and nurseries on a far bigger scale. We especially want to develop and expand our programme on engaging young people, to help tackle casualties among this at-risk group.
We recognise that working in partnership with professionals in local authorities, emergency services and companies is essential to promoting road safety. Our Brake Professionals scheme now has 1,200 members, and last year we delivered 25 research bulletins, 10 reports, and 40 webinars, seminars and courses, to share information and best practice.
This year, we’ll continue to share research and tools, with a focus on developing our webinars and multi-media resources, to help professionals deliver road safety work as effectively as possible.
As most of you know, we also continue to coordinate the UK’s biggest road safety event every November, Road Safety Week. We had a record year last year, thanks to your help and an ongoing Department for Transport grant. Nearly 10,000 schools and groups registered to be involved, all getting an action pack. We ran a successful media campaign calling on everyone to look out for each other, especially highlighting drivers’ responsibilities to protect people.
In 2015, Road Safety Week is 23-29 November and we hope you’ll all be involved. We will again use the event to promote road safety at community level, and run a high-impact campaign, drawing attention to the links between road safety, the environment, and health.
That continues to be a key theme for us across our campaigning, throughout the year, as our influence continues to grow through social and traditional media, online, and public affairs work.
Our GO 20 campaign, calling for 20 limits to become the norm for safer walking and cycling, gained further momentum last year. We linked up with more charities, organisations and MPs, and shared good practice among the rising number of local authorities switching to 20mph.
Our campaigning work also saw some significant victories, with Scotland introducing a lower drink drive limit, an announcement of a government review of charges and penalties for driving offences, and progress towards a zero tolerance drug drive law, coming in on 2nd March.
But we still have a long way to go, before our laws are fully in line with research and best practice, and we have a truly safe system that enables everyone to get around without fear or threat, sustainably and actively. It’s that principle we’ll continue to champion in 2015 and beyond.
Across all our work, we have grown. Growth enables us to support more crash victims in need, deliver more life-saving education and awareness, help more communities and professionals, and campaign ever more vociferously.
As we move into our 20th year, we are on the cusp of not just becoming a bigger, more impactful organisation, but one that is at the forefront of driving a shift in how we use roads and approach road safety, a shift that will not only prevent terrible, needless tragedies but enable everyone to live greener, healthier, happier lives.
For us to continue to grow, and make that step, your support is critical. So I’d like to finish with a plea, for everyone here to do everything in their power to support Brake this year. If you can, step up your company’s support. Back our campaigns. Become a professional member. And please fundraise for us, to help mark our 20th year.
I will be running a little over 20 miles in the London marathon, and you can sponsor me tonight, so please do! But please also consider how you and your organisations can work with us to make things happen throughout this year and into the future.
I’m now delighted to welcome Robert Goodwill MP, under secretary of state for transport, with responsibility for road safety.

Long-term care insurance is an expensive proposition. According to a 2012 Insurance Price Index published by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, the average cost for an individual at the age of 55 was approximately $2,000 a year. That cost has risen every year since.

I believe the correct translation for the error is "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."
Other languages may expect a DD/MM/YYYY format. SQL Server generates this error when there is a mismatch between what is provided and what the SQL Server is expecting.
The Free Tools are normally tested with US default settings and time zones. Given your location and language, try following the advice in the link and see if that resolves the issue.
SQL Data Profiler has been tested with SQL Server 2017 and it does work, so this should not be the problem.
So, I must change my server date and time defaults to MM/DD/YYYY? I can't 'because all the other programs won't work properly. It' s a pity 'cause I just needed this tool ..
I think you misinterpreted my suggestion. I was merely trying to figure out what the actual issue was given your initial post. Let me explain a couple of things.
No where in the profiling step does it presume a US datetime format but instead using the ISO format.
If the problem is related to data stored related date time, there could be a number of explanations. Such as, possible the datetime values being shortened to YYMMDD, in which case that could present problems handling them when comparing ranges using the ISO format. Just a guess.

Her career as a novelist was launched by the three novels contained in Worlds of Exile and Illusion. These novels, Rocannon's world, Planet of Exile, and City of Illusions, are set in the same universe as Le Guin's groundbreaking classic, The Left hand of Darkness.
Tor is pleased to return these previously unavailable works to print in this attractive new edition.

Running a little late today, but better late than never, I believe the saying goes.
So without further ado, I present the moon.
The Blood Moon photos taken earlier this month are my hubby's (a little blurry but given it was a cloudy night he had to click when he could.
The other full moon photos below those are mine from earlier this year.
Always love a full moon, wish I could have got better shots of the blood moon, I really will have to read the manual of my new camera.
What fabulous moon shots. You can never go wrong with pictures of the moon.
I love that the moon can be seen everywhere, so it is a thing to love just for that reason alone I think. I truly love a full moon.
I've never seen moon photos so close before, you must have climbed a very long ladder! My moon shots are usually a tiny white orb in a huge black sky.
I've never seen a blood moon either, I seem to always miss them, are they a regular thing? I'd like to be able to look out for one. | 2019-04-19T03:28:40 | http://menopausalmumma.blogspot.com/2014/10/sunday-selections-moon.html |
On May 23, 2008, Ian Taylor became the youngest Irishman to stand on the top of the world. In June 2007 Ian and his friend set out to climb four mountains on four continents in one year with Mount Everest being the final climb. Before June 2007, he had only climbed one mountain over 5,000m. Ian also took on a charity element, raising €70,000 to build the Mt. Everest primary school in Uganda with Irish charity Fields of Life.
From + 40c to – 40c Ian braved his own fears, demons and the mountains. He saved a fellow climbers life and four months after being told he wasn’t the right material for Everest by two professionals, he successfully made it to the summit of Mount Everest. This was a true story of teamwork, drive and ultimately success.
Based in the US and Ireland, Ian has years of experience of managing teams in a business environment. He also leads and trains teams for mountain expeditions around the world and has done so with great success. Ian has climbed Kilimanjaro 18 times now, aiming for 50 summits, he has lead hundreds of people to reach their goals in the mountains. A team Ian lead to Kilimanjaro in September 2011, released a book about their journey.
Ian was involved with the Ireland to Everest 2012 ascent of Mt. Everest, using his skills to help others achieve their dreams on Everest. Ian manages his own trekking company training teams for their treks around the world. Ian is a team leader, motivational and leisure consultant. Ian has plans to set a new route to the South Pole, film a feature film and raise money for schools in Gaza. | 2019-04-22T02:10:02 | https://frontrowspeakers.com/speakers/ian-taylor/ |
Completing a simple survey could play an important part in strengthening Queenslander's marine pest biosecurity.
'Everyone has a part to play in marine biosecurity and Biosecurity Queensland wants to know the boating practices people have now, and how much people know about marine pest biosecurity to help decide what areas to focus the education and awareness campaign on,' Mr Furner said.
'That is why we are asking anyone who works or enjoys time in Queensland's magnificent marine environment to complete the online survey which is open until 29 March 2019.
'The survey will provide valuable information about current marine pest biosecurity knowledge including awareness, prevention, preparedness, identification and response to a suspected marine pest sighting.
'As we have seen with white spot disease, some pests have great potential for destroying our marine environment, the businesses that rely upon it and impacting our way of life,' Mr Furner said.
'Pests such as Asian green mussel, Brown mussel, Japanese seaweed and Harris mud crab can displace and exclude native species, carry disease, and foul infrastructure which impacts on commercial fisheries, ports, marinas and the tourism industry.
'The early detection and notification of a single Asian Green Mussel in waters near Weipa in May 2017 and the prompt action taken following that discovery were crucial in achieving a terrific biosecurity outcome,' Mr Furner said.
'I therefore encourage anyone with an interest in Queensland's valuable marine environment to complete the marine pest survey because improving education and awareness will ultimately help protect the natural environment, our economy,and our way of life. | 2019-04-22T16:40:33 | http://www.publicnow.com/view/23F4BD2A5688DA77764AD6EB176076F7BE815C06?2019-03-11-07:30:12+00:00-xxx536 |

A group of Triad poets is headed to the Brave New Voices national competition and they could use your help getting there.
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A group of Triad poets is headed to a national competition July 12-17 in Washington, D.C. And when the Gate City Youth Poetry Slam Team arrives at the Brave New Voices Festival, they will be among the most outstanding and outspoken youth poets from around the world.
The group, which is coached and mentored by poet Josephus III, has competed in the festival for the past 6 years and each year, the community pitches in to help send these talented young people to represent the area.
The Gate City Youth Poetry Slam Team would appreciate your help again.
"Travel is expensive," said Josephus. "It costs about $5,000, so any amount would help. Ten students from Greensboro have earned the opportunity and we are pooling all of our resources to support this endeavor."
To prepare for the competition, the students will perform around the city and raise funds to go towards travel and lodging expenses. The final send-off event for the team will take place on Saturday, July 9, 2016 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Center, located at 200 North Davie Street in Greensboro.

OPPOSITION MMD national deputy spokesperson Peter Phiri has expressed concern that the marooned trucks at Kasumbalesa border post in Chililabombwe destined for the DRC can cause human catastrophe if not resolved quickly.
However, Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) explained that the current long queues at the border post had no impact on revenue collection.
In a statement, Phiri observed that the continued traffic congestion being caused by trucks destined to the Democratic Republic of Congo was posing a hazard to residents on the Copperbelt Province because most of them were transporting flammable cargo.
Phiri noted that the delayed clearance of DR Congo bound trucks was adversely affecting Zambia’s trade at Kasumbalesa.
Phiri proposed an appointment of a taskforce to address the issue and ensure that the clearance of trucks at Kasumbalesa border post was expeditiously conducted.
However, ZRA Corporate Communications Manager Topsy Sikalinda said the trucks going into DR Congo were mostly transit goods while others were local exports.
“Both scenarios do not attract any export taxes. Zambia does not have an export tax system except on timber and precious stones,” he explained.
Sikalinda added that there had been public concerns about loss of revenue when people/ the public see goods going out of Zambia into DRC as being smuggled or evading tax.
“It is important for the public to know that all trucks currently on the Zambian side in Kasumbalesa have already been cleared by the Zambia Revenue Authority,” he said.
“They are waiting for entry formalities into the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Zambian government has since engaged the Congolese authorities to deal with the matter”.
Sikalinda stated that so far, the Zambian authorities had extended border operating hours from 18:00hrs to 20:00hrs.
“The Authority has further suspended late clearance fees to encourage transporters to clear goods out of Zambia even after normal working hours. Starting Tuesday 9th April, 2019, the Zambian and Congolese authorities have agreed to start clearing at least 600 to 700 trucks every day into Congo from the current average of 420 per day. This is expected to help clear the traffic in the next 10 days or so,” he said.
He disclosed that congestion has been caused by various factors that include limited parking space, as only one lane is available for exiting into DR Congo due to construction works and the security situation, as most drivers fear for their safety. | 2019-04-18T15:17:13 | http://newsdayzambia.com/?p=9518 |

I will post here the evolving details of the mechanics of the exhibition.
LOCATION: The Studios right adjacent to PARIS PHOTO LA: Raleigh Studios, Hollywood, across from Paramount Studios. We plan to have a shuttle bust for the tiny distance. Wine of allowed.
CURATING: I have the advice of gallery owners experienced in art sales.
COST: I have to cover space, extra lights chairs and the like. I will come up with a formula of a percent of sales plus a figure for every 2ft of 10ft high wall space. It will be very reasonable. If you really can't afford it and the work is fabulous, then we could work out something for you. If more folk participate, the costs plunge. I estimate the following plus 30% of sales to cover costs of sales assistants.
These prices are one's I will personally guarantee. If we get a good response, then we might be able to lower costs even more. I will also look into a Kickstarted campaign too.
Matting, framing, mounting on Dibond, printing postcards, etc done at actual cost and charged to you, but the prices will be provided in advance.
Look at http://lodima.corg - Archival materials - I am considering having them do all our work as the quality is high and the prices are very good.
POSTCARDS: If images are received in time, we will have postcards from each Photographer with their bio on the back. I'll find our prices. Any suggestions, PM me.
FRAMING: Can be done locally here in LA if you wish. Pictures need to be signed, matted if small and have a number in the series and a statement that these will not be offered online for less than the exhibition prices.
Extra large pictures will need to be signed with edition number and mailed in a cardboard tube.
I will seek good prices for mattes and frames here.
BIO & Artist's Statement: write this out now so they are ready to go.
RETURN SHIPPING: At cost, payable in advance.
FURTHER EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY: If at all possible, and I have the backing of photographers, we'll also present the pictures in other locations and shows.
INSURANCE: Have your expensive pictures insured if you can in the mail. I will look into costs of insuring the pictures, (for reprinting and framing costs), while they are in my custody and hopefully costs are not beyond my reach.
MAILING LIST: We will advertise the show and also I plan to mail out invitations.
EXPECTED PROFIT: Last year about 70 photographers bought space at ~ $3500 or more for 8 linear feet 10 ft high. About a 1/3 or so are claimed to have made a profit. About 60% are said to be happy and at least one guy is miffed to the nth as he is well established and only sold one picture. So this is part of an identity building process and with subsequent shows and the build up of a following, I expect we will get a good following given the quality and diversity of the work submitted to date.
OMISSIONS: If I have left out a topic that's significant, bring it to my attention.
SUBMISSIONS: Online to the ongoing thread here or privately by PM or by email if you wish.
SCHEDULE FOR NOTIFICATIONS: will be issued shortly. Watch this space.
Decide what pictures you will submit, the sizes, number in each series and the price.
PRICING: The average general range in general at this show would be from $200/350 to $3500/4500 going from 8"x10" all the way to say 55" to 72" high.
However, some fine photographs can fetch from $1200 to $7,000 for the same range of sizes and even more if you are already well established with a following.
EDITION SIZE: The size of editions should normally decrease from 15-100 at the smaller size all the way down to 1-5 at the upper end as the more money is spent, the rarer the image is hoped to be.
These are not rules, but guides based on precious sales last year.
This is not to be considered a sure win, but it will begin the process of building a following as I intend to follow through, if we have enough encouragement and set up further venues with your continued support.
So far the quality of the submissions are very high and we'll have a sufficient diversity of taste and price point for a lot of different buyers.
If you don't mind, I will convert your post for the benefits of users of the metric system. And while I am at it, I'll give the prices in €uros as well.
SPACE: 25.6 m x 3 m of wall space total.
COST: I have to cover space, extra lights chairs and the like. I will come up with a formula of a percent of sales plus a figure for every 60cm of 3m high wall space. It will be very reasonable. If you really can't afford it and the work is fabulous, then we could work out something for you. If more folk participate, the costs plunge. I estimate the following plus 30% of sales to cover costs of sales assistants.
EXPECTED PROFIT: Last year about 70 photographers bought space at ~ 3200€ ($3500) or more for 2.4m wide, 3m high (and it would cost only 1232€ for us).
PRICING: The average range in general at this show would be from 180-280€ ($200/350) to 3200-4200€ ($3500/4500) going from A4 / 20x25cm all the way to say 1.4m to 1.8m high.
For 3 prints, 4 prints maybe, we need 60cm (2 feet) of wall space (one needs a bit of space around each picture and we can't really use the bottom and top parts), so 276€ / 300$ of wall space. Price per picture would be 280-550€ ($350-600), of which you get ~70%, so 196-385€ ($245-420).
Thanks for the conversion and good suggestions. Your help is much appreciated.
Note that all the space between the sides of the pictures and between one photographer and the next will be provided at no cost to those showing their work. We'll space them out well. Furthermore, A3 size can show well 3 rows in a "24" wide space. If one is a little over, that's O.K. , we're flexible.
Also, one should consider simply mounting prints on board or Dibond and purchasers have the option of getting it framed. We'll have a framer lined up. That cuts down the cost built in to selling a print considerably and some buyers prefer that modern look.
I will get pricing for local painting, (your signature in the print, one file for each numbered copy of that series that you offer) and/mounting of signed prints on Dibond or board. We'll provide a standardized option for printing and mounting so that you can just send either the signed prints or the files with your signature and series number embedded in the picture to appear on the bottom of the print.
The cost of hanging the prints on the wall is covered in the price of the booth. I have enough storage for a giant truck of art!
SELECTION OF PICTURES: A jury will be going through the submitted images once we have enough and then they will select pictures according to the kind of material likely wanted by the expected visitors and collectors to this show. This might mean an initial disappointment for a few pictures of each of us or all the pictures of a set. It has to be that the total body of the work works for the audience.
My job is to be as open as possible to all submissions. However, ultimately some, unfortunately might not be selected by the jury for this show of photography as art.
So please continue to submit your work and present pictures that you feel deserve to have a place in the exhibition as fine art. I'd rather you submitted too much and risk disappointment than you not be represented because you didn't send enough of the work you love.
Good luck and believe in what you are proud of and bless it and send it to us!
If someone wants to use standard US frame sizes, I found this list to which I added European paper sizes in inches.
8" x 10" 4.5" x 6.5" 5" x 7" A5=5.83" × 8.27"
11" x 14" 7.5" x 9.5" 8" x 10" A4=8.27" × 11.7"
16" x 20" 10.5" x 13.5" 11" x 14" A3=11.7" x 16.5"
20" x 24" 15.5" x 19.5" 16" x 20" A2=16.5" x 23.4"
24" x 36" 19.5" x 29.5" 20" x 30" A1=23.4" x 33.1"
If someone is interested, I can also offer to print up to A2 size for the cost of paper and ink.
If any of the exposed/hanged image is sold on day one, how do one sell the same or others if they are not available on location, in PILA ?
Perhaps everyone should send more 5 of each image for example.
A Folio is a small pack with all the images exposed similar to the one shown bellow. Sorry for the bad quality of the images.
Folios can be bought in US but at the moment I can’t find the place.
Here you can have a look at some available at my favourit publication.
All good suggestions Antonio, thanks.
I too have asked Asher the question about the hypothetical situation if one image is sold more than once. Since I can only send one copy of each image of mine right now, I will then have to print the required images and mail them to Asher if (hopefully) that situation arises.
What I am wondering about is how to create a certificate which mentions the photographer, image title, unique number in the series, etc. Does anybody have a template for this?
For those of you who still need to compile a list, I have uploaded my excel template here. Feel free to use it.
Cem, I do not have Excel. I can work with it but I use Google spreadsheet instead.
However, I have downloaded it and I have seen what you are talking about.
Let's wait for other opinions and suggestions.
As I print my own images I need to start to print soon and buy more paper and ink. To print a lot of images can be time consuming... for me that is !
Need to edit that soon. Obviously, the letters in RED are simply what should be included.
Thanks Cem and Maggie for these time savers!
I dunno how USA handle that, but in France less and less customers need certificate. For art collectors, they just answer "it's signed and numbered, that's ok, certificate means nothing more".
Asher, if you need certificates I usually use hanemuhle ones and can send you with next parcel.
The stamps cost money, the paper is more expensive than the one I use, Ilford and the whole process becomes longer for me, more time consuming.
However, it is a very "serious" option. Curiously I still have Hahnemuhle paper but I am not sure if they have A3+.
For me, at the moment it is not an option. I would need more time to prepare.
Hahnemuhle and it's certificate is a serious option.
Important: It would be most helpful if everyone who hasn't already done so, uses this great spreadsheet and sends it ASAP. This will help in curating the matte and framing prices.
Add your picture to the first space for picture.
Fill in all the other fields and email it to me at editor.OPF AT mac.com obviously AT gets replaced by @ and there are no spaces.
I do not have neither Excel nor Word. I use Google docs instead.
Hope I have done everything right !

As with all NBA teams who lose their franchise player, the Cavs are in a situation where they still have a lot of talent but don’t know where that talent will take them. After being a playoff lock for four years prior to this season, the Cavs are no longer going to be able to coast through the regular season. Many NBA experts claim the Cavs will fall well short of the playoffs and that is because their most talented players have proven very little when their roles have expanded. Here are five players who can prove their legitimacy in this league and prevent themselves (and the Cavs as a whole) from falling off the map. | 2019-04-23T22:22:05 | https://clesportstalk.com/ranking-the-cavs-players-with-the-most-to-prove-this-season/ |

Members of the priests' association add their voice to the voice of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
“This is a time to teach clearly, encourage reflection, and call for common action in the Catholic community to bring about an end to the use of the death penalty in our land.
“ . . . We reaffirm our common judgment that the use of the death penalty is unnecessary and unjustified in our time and circumstances.
• The sanction of death, when it is not necessary to protect society, violates respect for human life and dignity.
• State-sanctioned killing in our names diminishes all of us.
• Its application is deeply flawed and can be irreversibly wrong, is prone to errors, and is biased by factors such as race, the quality of legal representation, and where the crime was committed.
• We have other ways to punish criminals and protect society.
“ . . . We renew our common conviction that it is time for our nation to abandon the illusion that we can protect life by taking life. Ending the use of the death penalty would be one important step away from a culture of death toward building a culture of life.
The largest association of Catholic priests in the United States is adding its support to the position taken by a group of about 40 faith communities and the Washington Interreligious Staff Community regarding health care.
The 10 priorities include preserving coverage gains made by the ACA, preserving funding for Medicaid expansion, reasonable revenue in the federal budget to pay for health care for all, ensuring that insurance premiums and cost sharing are affordable, access to essential services including mental health and pre-natal care, coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, continuing children under 26 to be covered by their parents’ insurance, insurance without annual or lifetime caps, and preventing insurance companies from discriminating against women, the elderly and people in poverty. | 2019-04-26T14:13:28 | https://www.uscatholicpriests.org/auscp-positions-statements |

More Rake's Progress Photos Than You Can Shake a Rake At!
Here are a few more images from tonight's la prima of Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress @ Vienna's Theater an der Wien.
Too bad there are no previews of the alleged 18+ content from director Martin Kusej. We'll just have to use our ~imaginations~.
Anne Sofie von Otter shows the Wiener Symphoniker what's what with her sultry, divaesque mezzo, Baba the Turk.
English tenor Toby Spence and English bass Alastair Miles are poised for tomorrow's opening night of Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress in Vienna's Theater an der Wien. The production will be conducted by that hawter than hale, dewy-skinned, man-gawd Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who will sweat through the Martin Kusej production with the Wiener Symphoniker.
Theater an der Wien is promising such a spicy production, that it is carrying a warning for kids younger than eighteen years old, to shield their innocent eyes from an explicit naked brothel scene and some secksay stripping. If things get too hawt, we've got Anne Sofie von Otter playing the bearded wife to extinguish the flames. | 2019-04-23T10:18:41 | https://operachic.typepad.com/opera_chic/toby-spence/ |
Two days after the fruit was added to the wine, it looked like it was about to grow right out of the crock. The golden raisins swelled immensely, and the yeast got a little crazy with the bubbles. I was a little concerned I was going to end up with a big mess. It stayed covered with a clean flour sack towel, and after a few more days it settled back down. By the time I was ready to bottle, it was back near where I had started.
I waited around two weeks before bottling, even though the original recipe said two days to one week, because I could still hear the wine actively fermenting. A friend gifted me some lovely bottles, which I washed and drained and left bake in a sunny window for a few days before using.
I ladled the fruit into my jelly strainer to drain, trying to keep as much sediment as possible out of the bottles.
After filtering, I funneled the liquid into the wine bottles.
In the bottom of the crock there was a fair amount of yeasty sediment, or dregs.
In Wild Fermentation, Sandor Katz recommends substituting these dregs for one quarter of the liquid in a French onion soup recipe. They are very high in B vitamins (think “nutritional yeast”). I didn't do this, as I am the only one in my family who likes French onion soup, but I may try this at sometime in the future.
After bottling, the top of each bottle was covered with a balloon to accommodate additional fermentation. When the balloons stop inflating, they can be corked. (Use a wine corker to make this a snap.) Here's a shot of my bottles, in the morning sun( for photo purposes only) before they were moved down into the cool, dark basement food storage room to ferment for at least six months. I'll let you know how it turns out. 🙂 As for the fruit, it's sitting in my fridge. Anyone have a good recipe for using up some mixed fruit with a powerful kick?
Coming soon, I'll be talking about water kefir. I just ordered Full Moon Feast, so I'm looking forward to combining my kefir with healing herbs (I've heard there are recipes for this in this book) and I've made contact with some water kefir fans on Facebook, so I'm hoping to get some tips from them to spice up my kefir brewing and get my grains growing.
Note – This is the second post of three about making dandelion wine. See the recipe and getting started post here, and the end result – tasting the wine – here.
This made me think of the wine my daughter in Alaska was making. I forget which wild berry they used…low bush cranberry or what. She has some brewing when we were up there. But she also had some already bottled up and on the counter. Crazy this was she had it in the same bottles she had her kombucha that was flavored with wild berries and the color was the same and she never gave a thought to the fact that they looked the same and were lined up together. I had no idea there was some homemade wine on the counter. Up one morning I decided to have a glass of her berry flavored kombucha while I cleaned up her kitchen. Had myself a glass and thought my of my her kombucha is strong with the berries.
We had a really good laugh later when we found out I had a glass of the wine not kombucha.
She quickly separated the bottles and put the wine in another area.
Your wine looks lovely Laurie! I just might have to try this next year.
I cannot wait to hear about your water kefir adventures. Cuz I need help with mine!!
I'd love to hear how it turns out, once you sample it!
I'm thinking winter fruitcake as well…how fun to follow this progress! At the back of Wild Fermentatin (or maybe in the kefir chapter) Sandor mentions a yahoo group for kefir enthusiasts which is very active but you will get a ton of info on there. I'm sure it's much more active than any facebook page.
I’m just newly embarking on adventures in fermentation and that danelion wine sure sounds fun! Dont know if i could down the dregs though. I’m not that brave yet.
When I was a kid my dad would start a rumpot for Christmas. When it was ready he’d spoon that beautiful ‘kickey’ fruit over some vanilla ice cream. It was lovely!
Can I bottle the wine in resealing bottles like the old grolsch beer bottles? Or do you have to cork it?
Because of the extended storage time of wine, using grolsch style bottles is not recommended as the gaskets will degrade over time.
How long can they be stored if they’re corked properly?
Years? I think we found some in mom’s basement that were over 10 years old. The flavor profile will change over time.
I have used the leftover fruit (i.e., raisins) in Christmas fruitcake. Now, before anyone makes a face, homemade fruitcake is not like store bought. It’s much better, and one can use preferred dried fruits instead of citron, which is most of the fruit in store bought fruitcakes. Using the fruit from the dandelion wines eliminates soaking the dried fruit in bourbon. The flavor contributes nicely to the fruitcake, makes a moister cake that mellows beautifully.
If you have family or friends that will eat fruitcake, that sounds like an excellent use for the fruit.
How many bottles does this recipe fill? | 2019-04-25T21:55:25 | https://commonsensehome.com/bottling-the-dandelion-wine/ |
Friends, we've gathered today to say, Yes! Yes to not just the good things about Memphis, but the BEST things about Memphis. The things that make you the happiest to live here. The best taco and the best vet and the best local band. Yes!
The art in this issue was designed by Memphis Flyer Graphic Designer Jeremiah Matthews to bring to mind video games — of the '80s zam! pop! wow! sort. Did you know in the Ms. Pac-Man game, the ghosts can go into the center square? We've seen it with our own two eyes. We were always the type of player who ate all the pills leaving us vulnerable to the ghosts. But you can go into that square if you're really good. If you're the BEST.
Shall we drop the quarter in the slot? Let's all play. Let's all get into that square. Game Over? No, it's Game On. Yes!
A few things to note about this issue. We got the biggest number of voters ever this year. We thank you, as the Best of Memphis wouldn't be so good — actually, the BEST — without you. A lot of people worked on this issue. It was written by Jackson Baker, Julia Baker, Olivia Bates, Samuel X. Cicci, Shara Clark, Chris Davis, Jesse Davis, Michael Donahue, Susan Ellis, Michael Finger, Alex Greene, Chris McCoy, Toby Sells, Maya Smith, Jon Sparks, and Bruce VanWyngarden. It was designed by Carrie Beasley, with images by Justin Fox Burks.
We thank our advertisers as always, because without them, this paper wouldn't be free to you each week.

The Bulldogs scored a touchdown with 38.7 seconds left to win the game.
With a five point lead and the Bulldogs driving toward the goal line, the Sandcrabs absolutely needed a stop. For three downs, the Sandcrabs’ gritty defense accomplished that feat. But with 38.7 seconds left in the game, the Bulldogs’ quarterback drifted a pass near the left corner of the end zone.
Grace Remey was there to make a play. The Sandcrabs’ sure-handed senior jumped in front of the ball, ready to come up with the game-winning interception.
Instead, the ball skimmed off her hands into the arms of Bulldogs receiver Breaza Robinson.
The touchdown gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the game, 15-14.
Seabreeze’s star quarterback, Bailey McQuarrie, threw an interception — her second of the night — on the very next play.
Inspired by Senior Night and a chance to climb into the Top 25 of the state flag football rankings, Seabreeze jumped to a 14-0 lead by the second quarter, highlighted by a 40-yard interception return by Taylor Nirschl for the game’s first score in the opening quarter.
But in the second half, everything changed.
After an interception by Kara Haas gave the Sandcrabs the ball back with seven minutes to spare in the fourth quarter, McQuarrie did the unthinkable: She missed a snap, fumbling the ball in the Sandcrabs’ own end zone for a safety.
Fries despised the team’s low energy following the game-changing mistake.
Regardless, the second-year coach said he was happy that the mistakes happened in the team’s regular season finale instead of in the playoffs. Seabreeze has a first-round district matchup with Matanzas on Tuesday, April 24. | 2019-04-18T21:44:47 | https://www.ormondbeachobserver.com/node/73606 |

If you think shopping for clothes is hard, just wait until you get pregnant, then it really becomes a challenge! Your body is changing on a daily basis, you may be feeling the most self-concious you’ve ever felt, and what felt comfortable yesterday today feels like a vice. I always thought I’d look so cute in maternity wear and then I saw what maternity wear costs and I’m just happy I can throw something over the bump. Sometimes that something is my husband’s t-shirt other times its a cute top I got in my latest Le Tote ; it’s style inspiration can come from anywhere! Thanks to some serious style envy I’ve developed scrolling through the instagrams of other pregnant bloggers, I have felt compelled to go looking for cute bump-friendly clothes that won’t steal money from Acorn’s college fund.
JJ Perfection Women’s High Waist Elastic Flared Midi Skirt $15.99 – While this skirt is not advertised as maternity wear, the material and cut are perfect for accomodating a growing baby bump. Wear it low as you near the homestretch of your pregnancy for a comfortable casual look. Plus, you’ll still be able to wear the skirt after baby arrives.
My Bump Women’s Cold Shoulder Fitted Maternity Dress W/Side Ruched $29.99 – This dress is most certainly bump-approved. My Bump makes several styles of form fitting maternity dresses. I particularly liked this one because you don’t usually see a cold shoulder cut in maternity wear. This dress will really show off your bump without breaking the bank and would even make a great baby shower dress!
DJT Women’s Flowy Handkerchief Hemline Midi Skirt $18.99 – I am all about skirts as Spring makes her reluctant arrival and this skirt is both comfortable and care-free with it’s hankerchief cut. And just like the prior find, it’s not a maternity skirt but is stretchy and soft enough to accomodate a growing bump. Bonus, you can keep wearing it during the awkward post-partum period.
GRECERELLE Women’s Casual Loose Pocket Long Dress Short Sleeve Split Maxi Dresses $23.80 – You can throw this dress over a swimsuit, three months without shaving, or a baby bump; which as far as I’m concerned makes it the perfect dress! Long and flowy this dress has plenty of room to hide a baby bump while giving the illusion that you’ve got it all together. If you’re a first time mom you probably don’t by the way. And like the other pieces I found, this one can stay in your wardrobe even after the baby arrives.
Be on the look out for these clothes covering my ever expanding waistline in the next several weeks. And let me know in the comments about any amazing preggo finds you’ve come across! | 2019-04-23T06:10:57 | https://realgraceshines.com/2019/04/06/amazon-maternity-finds/ |
Turns out that the Cleveland Plain Dealer followed up on this, and managed to reach both of the people involved, who said that both the letters were real. This was good enough for the professional urban-legend checkers at snopes.com, so it's good enough for me.
The general counsel, James Bailey, now lives in San Diego. He confirmed he had written the response. Bailey's web page at the consulting firm where he now works says he was an executive VP for the team, but he had been a partner in a law firm and so it's plausible that he was general counsel too, as the letter states. (Although the letterhead is for the "Cleveland Stadium Corporation," not the team, according to the web page Bailey led an effort to get the team a new stadium, and so could have had separate letterhead for that purpose.) Bailey also confirmed he had copied Art Modell, the team's owner, on the letter, which might not have been the best idea. "I should have been more cautious," Bailey said. "After I wrote it, I heard about it right away from Art. He said something like, 'What the hell are you doing?' He was not a guy lacking passion."
The complainer, Dale Cox, has since moved to Idaho but is still practicing law (and, he says, is still a Browns season-ticket holder, which might show his judgment has not improved). He told the Plain Dealer he wasn't mad about the response and that in fact he "thought it was pretty cool." Whether he's remembering that correctly or just doesn't want to seem like a sore loser now, that's the right response. He also claimed to have "used that letter a couple times myself since," but if he did, he did not provide details.
I came across a couple of posts suggesting that Mark Twain originally came up with this idea, but if he did, I couldn't find it; and it would probably be public domain and/or fair use anyway, if like Mr. Cox you wanted to use this yourself. | 2019-04-19T07:15:40 | http://loweringthebar.net/2011/03/cleveland-browns-lawyer-letter-is-apparently-real.html |
A tropical "nut" which can be eaten in many different ways: eaten raw, used in confectionery, used to produce oil, or the water inside can be drank.
The coconut is the seed of the Cocos nucifera fruit. Belonging to the group of fruits called drupes, it is related to dates, apricots, plums, nectarines and peaches. | 2019-04-25T09:58:05 | https://www.foodista.com/food/PNQG4HRF/coconut |

Two years ago this July, I set off on a cross-country road trip from Virginia to Arizona with my two dogs and car full of stuff. I spent four weeks on the road and logged more than 2,000 miles. As you might imagine, I learned plenty after taking a trip that long with my beloved long-haired Chihuahuas. It was daunting. I’d only taken on them one weekend getaway to prep. But you know what? The trip was, by far, one of the best things I’ve ever done. Sure, I thought about flying my dogs out with me. But there’s something that’s quintessentially American about a road trip and going West. And my dogs are my babies, and it wouldn’t have been the same trip without them. I had to bring them with me.
Looking back on it, if I had to tell myself one thing it would be this: slow down. Driving cross country is (probably) an adventure you’ll only make once in your lifetime. You never know when you’ll be back in Arkansas, Oklahoma or Texas. Give yourself permission to drive 300 miles out of your way to a tiny town in the Arkansas mountains that will end up being one of the coolest places you’ve ever been to. Let yourself drift. Believe it or not, once you get used to packing up everything, moving hotels and driving a few hundred miles every few days. Sure, you’ll be lonely and scared and tired, but when you’ve got your dogs with you, you’ll always have a friend.
Before I went on a trip with my dogs, I took them around the block in their car seats. Those few short jaunts helped ease them into car travel. Before my 2,000-mile trip, I drove them from Virginia to Asheville, North Carolina. Much to my surprise, my dogs did well. It was their first time in the car and in a hotel room for a long period of time and they rocked it.
Make sure to research a hotel’s pet policies before you reserve the room. When you book, be sure to list in the comments that you’ll be bringing dogs and ask for a quiet room. Some hotels will put all the dogs in one hallway.
I discovered this at 3 a.m. one night in Winslow, Arizona, when just about every dog staying over started barking at once. It was funny, but draining since I didn’t sleep well at all. I ended up staying another night in my next destination, Flagstaff, so I could catch up on sleep.
If you’re going to leave the room, try turning on the radio or the TV on with the volume up. Put your dogs in the bathroom if you’re worried about them having accidents. One thing’s for sure: it’s always fun returning to them in the room. My boy dog, Rocket, was always happily perched on chairs waiting for me. Rocket is more rambunctious than my girl dog, Autumn, which made getting into the hotel a somewhat complicated process.
When I checked into hotels, I’d hold Autumn in my arms and keep Rocket in a traveling case so he didn’t act up. I eventually consolidated everything I needed so I’d only have to make two trips to retrieve my dogs’ supplies and then my luggage. When you’re making a number of stops along the way, just bring in the essentials that your pet will need: dog treats, dog food and bowls. I’d only drag their beds up the stairs if I’d be leaving them unattended for an extended period of time or if we’d be in the hotel for multiple nights. Otherwise, it wasn’t worth the effort.
Some of my favorite memories of the trip? Walking with my dogs in Santa Fe to see the sunset from a local park. The hotel staff recommended the spot and I couldn’t not have loved it more. One perk of traveling with your dogs is that you’re guaranteed to check out new places when you walk them. I loved finding tiny little parks all over Santa Fe and seeing all the adobe buildings surrounding the hotel.
Any wayward traveler will tell you this: your most beloved memories will be the most surprising.
I booked the cheapest pet-friendly hotel in Sedona on a whim, and it ended up providing me with one of the most gorgeous views of that city’s famed red rocks. I loved walking with my two dogs on a nearby trail by one of Sedona’s energy vortexes.
I was impressed by how well my dogs handled the trip. I was so afraid they would run away and be impossibly stressed out, but they were fine. Before I left, I posted on a Chihuahua Mamas Facebook group I’m part of and asked everyone for advice about moving. Someone commented that Chihuahuas just need to be with their person and they’ll thrive. This proved to be true over and over again.
Before my trip, I never really thought of myself as spontaneous, but after the trip, I realized just how rewarding traveling to a new place on a whim can be—like the time I pulled over so me and my dogs could check out the Natural Bridge of Arkansas. Spending so much time together made me realize how much I could really trust my dogs.
Constantly heading from one destination to another was stressful for both myself and the dogs, so having rest days gave us a chance to reconnect and catch up on some much-needed sleep. My dogs loved staying in one place, even if it was just for one night.
To prevent yourself from tiring out from driving, force yourself to rest. Take a minimum of 30-minute breaks when you stop for gas. Give yourself time to unwind since driving and traveling is exhausting.
As long as it’s during the day, truck stops are best. There’s usually plenty of green space where your dog can roam. Give them water and a walk. At night, I’d stick to gas stations due to safety concerns.
I visited more Sonics on my road trip than I ever have in my entire life. It’s easy to pull in, order food and then enjoy it with your dogs beside you. A clerk at a Wendy’s I visited loved seeing my two dogs in the car with me when I ordered chicken for them and I even got some free dog treats from a drive-thru coffee shop in Amarillo, Texas.
My biggest takeaway? Even hyper dogs, like my two Chihuahuas (who are very territorial and can be tough to bring to new places), can travel. Before this massive trip, I never really took them anywhere except for the vet and on walks around my neighborhood. But now, I’ve got the confidence to bring them more places. They come with me on most trips. Once you’ve spent an entire month on the road with your two dogs, a single overnight trip seems simple.
Above all, remember to have fun. I couldn’t have imagined completely uprooting myself without my two dogs. They’re my family. And the trip wouldn’t have been the same without both of them by my side. I’d recommend it to anyone brave enough to make the journey. | 2019-04-21T06:32:08 | https://petcentral.chewy.com/pet-parenting-travel-11-things-i-learned-driving-cross-country-with-my-pets/ |
A new initiative designed to encourage employees to cycle to work using electric bikes has launched in the UK.
The Green Commute Initiative has teamed up with Axcess Electric Bikes in order to improve the air in our cities by offering workplace electric bike package deals to help get traffic off the roads and more people cycling.
For commuters who perhaps can’t make such a long journey on a push-bike, the Green Commute Initiative will allow employees to own an electric bike through a salary sacrifice arrangement, much like the existing Cycle to Work scheme. With 80% of pollution in the air coming from vehicle traffic, the Green Commute Initiative is focused on ensuring that anyone who wants to cycle their commute to work is given a fair chance at owning a bike.
Here at Axcess Electric Bikes we have a wide range of electric bikes and accessories for you to choose from to make your commute easier, healthier and more enjoyable.
How does the new e-bike scheme work?
The Green Commute Initiative have put together a very simple package that not only helps to save you mo ney on owning a bike but also financially benefits your employer too. Their specially tailored finance plan means that the employer doesn’t even have to buy the bike – meaning a desirable plan that your workplace will be inclined to go for.
You will agree to Hire Purchase the bike or bikes required by your employees. Their salary sacrifice and your savings on their National Insurance payment will cover the cost of the bike.
You may also be able to claim the capital allowances.
The Hire Purchase arrangements pay for the bikes and your employees pay for the Hire Purchase through the salary sacrifice, meaning you don’t need to find any money at all.
If you don’t want to use the Hire Purchase arrangement, you can buy the bikes yourself as long as you register with the Green Commute Initiative.
If the employee leaves during the arrangement, they will have to pay the remaining balance of the bike.
Your employees can choose any bike they want (and accessories, if needed), as long as it’s from one of the Green Commute Initiative retailers.
Your employer will provide the bike to you under a salary sacrifice agreement. This means part of your salary will be withheld in order for you to purchase the bike.
You don’t pay tax on the salary that you sacrificed and therefore, will save tax and National Insurance.
You are responsible for the safety and security of the bike at all times. If it’s stolen or lost you will still have to make the salary sacrifice payments.
You can have whatever type of bike you want, but electric bikes are newly available on the scheme and easier to ride on longer commutes.
You should mainly use the bike for commuting, but you don’t have to ride it every day.
Many people won’t realise the damage that sitting in traffic on the way to work is doing. Pollution is becoming more of a serious problems across the UK, so not only will the Green Commute Initiative reward you with a second vehicle, it will also improve your health.
Two of the chemicals in pollution are Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and diesel particulates (DPM). The two chemicals, when mixed with our air, are extremely harmful and can cause long-term damage to our hearts and lungs.
Over 23,500 people die each year due to NO2 poisoning, and 29,000 from DPM poisoning. Children and older people are especially at risk, but the pollution affects everyone.
1 in 11 people in the UK suffers from asthma.
The NHS spends £15 billion per year on air pollution-related illness.
London, Derby, Southampton, Nottingham and South Wales all have major problems, with many other UK cities just below EU directive levels.
This is a relatively recent phenomenon caused by the rush for diesel to reduce CO2 emissions.
The reputable ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme from the UK Government has proved popular with employers and employees alike so it was only a matter of time before electric bikes got in on the action too. Here at Axcess Electric Bikes we’re very proud to be involved in such a positive scheme and encourage you to visit their website and download the form to show your employer. | 2019-04-21T08:16:48 | https://www.axcess-electric-bikes.co.uk/news/e-bike-scheme/ |

Hepatic hemangiomas vs metastases: MR differentiation at 1.5 T.
We retrospectively studied the value of MR imaging at 1.5 T in distinguishing hepatic hemangiomas (n = 15) from metastases (n = 15) by using (1) lesion/liver signal-intensity ratios, (2) contrast/noise ratios, and (3) T2 relaxation time on long TR/TE spin-echo (SE) sequences. Lesion/liver margin sharpness, lesion shape, and overall lesion morphologic pattern were evaluated also. Univariate logistic regression analysis of the quantitative data showed that T2 was the only statistically significant (p less than .02) variable for distinguishing a hemangioma from a metastasis. A receiver-operator-characteristic plot of T2 produced an area of 0.80 (+/- 0.08). T2 values for these lesions still overlapped with those for metastases. Morphologically, hemangiomas were sharply marginated (80%), rounded or oval (93%), homogeneous, hyperintense lesions (73%), whereas metastases were poorly marginated (66%) and inhomogenous (67%) lesions. The marked, hyperintense appearance was present in 27% of metastases. Retrospective, multivariate logistic regression analysis of T2 and the presence of hyperintense morphology did not improve results based on T2 alone. Morphologic criteria are helpful in differentiation, as some metastases have a prolonged T2 and are not homogenous, hyperintense lesions. In cases where T2 or morphology are equivocal, other diagnostic tests may help confirm the MR findings. We currently use a T2 of greater than 88 msec and the presence of hyperintense morphology to diagnose hemangiomas. Despite both quantitative and qualitative analysis, data for these hemangiomas and metastases still overlap. | 2019-04-20T20:40:14 | https://scholars.duke.edu/display/pub799838 |

Many experts say that the Honey Badger is the most fearless creature in the whole animal world. In protecting their dearest, they can go completely crazy, and they are not terrified even of great beasts when standing in front of them.
They have thick and leathery skin that protects them as armor, so they practically don't have any natural enemies.
Many farmers in Africa and India have big problems with them, as it is almost impossible to force them away. A single Honey Badger can murder dozens of hens or geese in a short time, which is their favorite prey.
The proof of the fearlessness of the Honey Badger can also be seen in a video clip that has landed on the internet these days.
One of the hungry leopards wanted the puppy of Honey Badger for a snack, but then quickly realized that he had chosen the wrong target. Another Honey Badger stepped in for the puppy, who fearlessly attacked the big leopard, and the whole scene was captured on the camera. | 2019-04-22T10:48:38 | https://klipland.com/video/honey-badger-rescues-her-baby-from-hungry-leopard |
