Both times I have stayed at Doxford Hall with my family, we have stayed in one of the two cottages in the grounds of the hotel: The Head Gardener’s Cottage. It seems hardly appropriate to call it a ‘cottage’ – it is a fantastic 3 bedroom property set over two floors! The cottage is set apart from the rest of the hotel’s accommodation and is a short walk from the hotel itself. It is surrounded by expanses of green grass, leafy trees, overlooking a greenhouse and orchard where you will find delicious apples and tomatoes amongst other things! From the first night we stayed here, it felt like home. At Christmas time it looked so beautiful – a gorgeous Christmas tree was set up and the staff even left a stocking for our cockapoo, Lottie! In summer it still had that same homely feel to it; the cottage has everything you need from kitchen utensils, to a huge dining table, from open fires, to bookshelves of books and magazines. Those littles touches of lovely Molton Brown miniature toiletries and Ringtons tea, coffee and biscuits, made our stay at the cottage that bit more luxurious. We have vowed to keep returning as a family as often as we can!
The grounds at Doxford Hall really are beautiful and I will never get bored of exploring the surroundings of the hotel and admiring the beauty of the countryside – some great photo opportunities! The Hall is also the proud owner of a Guinness World Record for its Yew Tree Maze in the grounds, but should also be commended for its outdoor artwork including statues and wire sculptures, and range of different gardens. On a sunny day there are few better places nearby to sit and enjoy an Alnwick Gin and Tonic than in the grounds of Doxford Hall, overlooking the majestic Hall and green gardens.
One of the greatest things about Doxford Hall and Chathill for anyone interested in exploring more of Northumberland is its location! To me, the hotel seemed to be less than a 20 minute drive from some of my favourite places in the county including Bamburgh, Craster, Seahouses, Alnwick and Newton-by-the-Sea. If you have already dined in the George Runciman Restaurant at the hotel and are looking for something different, Doxford Hall’s proximity to these coastal towns opens up many culinary doors for you! This was one of the main attractions for a family of foodies like us.
Spending Christmas morning in a Jacuzzi was a slightly unconventional way of celebrating Christmas Day, but it was great! Doxford Hall has a lovely Aqueous Spa with a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and range of spa and beauty treatments available. If you’re not too tired from walking around beautiful Northumberland, the pool has never been too busy for a decent swim in my experience. Otherwise, just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet!
My favourite area of the hotel itself (closely followed by the bar) has to be the Morning Room. As you approach the hotel by car you will see a dome-shaped room at the rear of the Hall, adorned with windows and a glass dome roof that allow in floods of natural light. The Morning Room is the perfect place to enjoy Afternoon Tea or a quiet cuppa. Many brides and grooms getting married at Doxford Hall choose to utilise this room for reception drinks and I can see why – it’s beautiful artwork, chandeliers and eclectic furniture say it all. If you’re a book-worm like me, you’re also sure to be astounded by the impressive, old Library just along the corridor from the Morning Room. It is another tranquil room where you can sit back and enjoy a drink and a good book.
Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa is not just a base from which you can explore Northumberland, but it is a stunning place to stay and you will come away feeling rested and looking forward to your next visit!
Pro(s): There are plenty more great things about Doxford Hall I could talk about, but my recommendation would be to head over to Chathill and experience the beauty and tranquillity of the Hall yourself!
Con(s): For me, not having strong internet or phone signal in the Head Gardener’s Cottage was a pro rather than a con. However I know for some people this could be a potential problem if you are wanting to research where to explore – just make sure you print out all of your research in advance or head up to the Hall where you will get both signal and 3G.
This looks like paid for advertising…..the gardeners cottage is a grubby dirty house in the grounds with a collection of mis matching furniture. The entrance is dumping ground for all sorts of rusty rubbish and junk. The mattresses are very poor and the house was dusty and grubby throughout. A quick vacuum wouldn’t go amiss before guests check in.
Whilst I appreciate your viewpoint, I’d just like to make it clear that in no way, shape or form is this paid advertising. My family and I have been visiting Doxford Hall and staying in the Gardener’s Cottage for two years now, including over the Christmas period – it is a very special place to us. Each time we have visited, Doxford Hall have been unaware that I am a blogger and I have never received any kind of payment or special treatment from the staff. If I am offered a complimentary product or service at any point, I will always disclose it – please read my blog that will be posted this weekend for evidence of this.
Please also see my disclaimer, where I stipulate that all opinions expressed in my blog posts are my own, based on my own experiences. I gave such glowing feedback of Doxford Hall and the Gardener’s Cottage to reflect my own experiences – the cottage was immaculate and the Doxford Hall staff went to every effort to ensure our Christmas Day and other visits were fantastic, as reflected in my post.
I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay at Doxford Hall – I am sure the staff there would appreciate your feedback. However, please reconsider next time you falsely accuse someone who writes reviews for fun and for the enjoyment of others, of paid or false advertising – it just isn’t true. | 2019-04-24T20:14:59 | https://highlightingthenortheast.com/2017/09/01/5-things-i-love-about-doxford-hall/ |
Samuel John Frederick Platt was born two months prematurely and rushed into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It soon became apparent that the new-born had a rare disease, confounding specialists and sending his parents, Melissa and Fred Platt, on an emotional roller-coaster as his condition was misdiagnosed several times.
His distraught parents stood by Sam’s side and advocated for his needs, while feeling ignored by some of the health care professionals assigned to Sam’s care. After more than a year in a private hospital in Johannesburg, Sam’s parents managed to get a second opinion and secured a transfer to a hospital in Cape Town.
Sam finally received the proper diagnosis and started to make small yet significant steps to recovery. But just as Sam was about to be given the all-clear to go home, after spending fifteen and a half months in ICU, he passed away.
Fred Platt writes honestly about his experiences as Sam’s dad. He shares the 7 lessons he learnt during this darkest period of his life, which have fundamentally changed his perspective on everything – being human, on business and on relationships.
In honour of Sam’s life, a charitable Trust, Footprints4Sam has been established. With the aim of ensuring that the highest standard and corporate governance is applied to preserve the legacy of Samuel John Frederick Platt, the Trust focuses on ensuring that no child or family will have to endure the challenges that Sam faced. Emphasis is placed on both advocacy as well as tangible initiatives that support families of children facing life-limiting diseases.
As the CEO of a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Fred has spent the past twenty years of his life building a successful business. He lives in Johannesburg with his wife, Melissa Platt. This is his first book. | 2019-04-22T23:16:24 | https://www.polity.org.za/article/lessons-from-a-rainbow-unicorn-a-real-life-story-of-a-fathers-loss-fred-platt-2018-09-14 |
Sunday 10 September, 12.30 pm to 16:00 FREE entry.
Halifax’s General Cemetery is the last resting place of nearly 20,000 past local residents and others from the 1840s to 1963. These include Mill owners, Chartists, Waterloo Soldiers, Great War fatalities, Nurses, nonconformist clergy, organ builders, and even murder victims.
This year there will be a focus on Sir Francis Crossley and his family, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth in 1817. The cemetery also celebrates the 175th anniversary of its first burials in 1842, and the oldest tombstone will be highlighted.
Digital Family History information concerning all the cemetery’s burials will be available to consult. And the remarkable new Garden, which has won awards from Yorkshire in Bloom, will be open for you to stroll in at leisure. Light refreshments will be available.
The Friends of Lister Lane Cemetery was formed in 1999. In collaboration with Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, the volunteers attempt to promote the upkeep and public profile of the site. In 2015, the Cemetery was awarded a Significant Cemetery in Europe status by the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe.
The Halifax General Cemetery, Lister Lane, was opened in 1841. Today, the Cemetery has Grade II listed status and has many interesting monuments, particularly the Gothic spires and obelisks along the main pathway.
The Cemetery has been recognised as a Significant Cemetery in Europe, one of only 13 in the UK, putting it alongside such famous cemeteries as Highgate in London.
Lister Lane Cemetery covers three acres of land, laid out around a now derelict neo-classical chapel and a raised terrace with views across Halifax to Beacon Hill.
The Cemetery is open to the public on Wednesdays from 10am – 3.30pm and most Sundays (weather permitting) from 10am – 12pm when the Friends of the Cemetery are working there. | 2019-04-25T09:43:00 | https://halifaxnorthandeast.com/2017/09/07/halifax-heritage-festival-tours-of-lister-lane-cemetery/ |

Many people experience increasing difficulty with balance and safe mobility as they age, which leads to the common and serious problem of falls. These problems are associated with loss of confidence and decreasing ability to function independently. In many cases it leads to the consideration of institutional care. Injuries from falls are a major cause of death in the older population. Fortunately, most causes of falls and instability can be treated successfully and the risk of falling reduced. The Michigan Podiatric Medical Association (MPMA) answers some common questions about balance issues.
How common are falls and balance problems in older persons?
Each year, falls occur in over a third of persons over age 65, and in over half of persons over age 75. About a third of the older population reports some difficulty with balance or ambulation. This percentage increases in frequency and severity after age 75.
What are the major causes of falls?
The most common causes of falls include environmental hazards (such as slippery floors and loose rugs), weak muscles, unstable balance, dizziness, vision problems and side effects from medications (such as dizziness and confusion).
How can I tell if I am at risk for falling?
The most important predictors of fall risk include: muscle weakness (difficulty rising from a sitting position without use of hands to push off); unsteady balance (needing to walk slowly or with a wide base of support to maintain balance); having fallen in the past year; and taking certain medications (some blood pressure medications as well as psychoactive medications, such as sedatives or anti-depressants).
What can I do to decrease my chances of falling?
Ask your MPMA doctor to evaluate your strength, balance, gait, entire medication list and overall risk factors for falls. The chances are good that there will be a number of things that can be done to reduce fall risk, such as adjusting medications, obtaining physical therapy, starting an exercise regimen, or receiving an assistive device such as a cane or walker, to make walking safer.
How can I make my home environment safer?
There are many pamphlets available to assist in hazard-proofing your home environment. Alternatively, a home health provider, such as a visiting nurse or occupational therapist, can come to your home and provide a hands-on inspection and set of recommendations. Common recommendations include installing bathroom grab bars, improving lighting in key areas, removing hazardous conditions on the floor, and making stairways and entrance areas safer.
What kind of walking aids are available and whom should I talk to about getting the right product?
A whole spectrum of walking aids are widely available, ranging from simple canes to elaborate types of walkers and wheelchairs. Any walking aid should be carefully measured to the right size and provide the optimal level of stability without creating too much dependency. Your MPMA doctor can help you with proper fit and advice.

The Michigan Podiatric Medical Association (MPMA) has been dedicated to serving and protecting the public’s podiatric health and maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct among its members for over 100 years. The four main objectives of the organization are: to improve the quality of foot care; to promote the importance of foot health among the general public and health care professionals throughout the state; to increase awareness of the art and science of podiatric medicine and surgery; and to provide continuing medical education to podiatrists.

There’s a German word, waldeinsamkeit, that Google Translate (yeah, I’m that guy) puts in English as “Solitude of the Forest.” It’s meant to describe a singular type of loneliness that is at once isolating, peaceful, and reflective. And having a spot where you can go and indulge in a little waldeinsamkeit of your own can be a rewarding experience for everyone. Now we want to hear about the most incredible places where you go to be alone.
While waldeinsamkeit traditionally implies a dense, quiet wood, the emotional experience can happen just about anywhere. Maybe it’s a meaningful hideaway in your city or town that you like to keep all to yourself, or maybe it’s a bustling public square where you allow yourself to be alone in a crowd. Personally, I sometimes like to head to a place near our office called Transmitter Park. It’s right on the East River, and has a terrific view of Manhattan just across the water. It’s gotten much more crowded in recent years, but I still go there and tune out the world, just watching the water and meditating on the endless possibility of the big city, or whatever’s on my mind. It helps me feel like I’m both in the middle of the teeming city around me, and blissfully apart from it. Wherever it is that you like to explore the wonders of solitude, we want to hear about them.
Waldeinsamkeit roughly translates to “the feeling of being alone in the woods.” The structure of the word says it all: “wald” means woods/forest, and “einsamkeit” means loneliness or solitude.
This word is about creating a connection with nature and cherishing one’s time spent alone in the woods. Waldeinsamkeit evokes feelings of contemplation, calm, and even meditation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a poem titled, Waldeinsamkeit.
O what have I to do with time?
For this the day was made.
The woods at heart are glad.
The souls that walk in pain.
Which no false art refines.
The sires of Nature, hide.
Though they to all belong!
To brave the landscape’s looks.
To the high cheer I found.
Crowns all thy mean affairs.
Should you, like PG, have no idea how to pronounce Waldeinsamkeit, here’s a link.
I frequently experience Basementeinsamkeit (Kellereinsamkeit).
Well… it’s a nice legend.
It’s not a word I ever used or saw used in my native language. In fact, translated it would mean that the forest is lonely.
Having said that, it’s wonderful to walk in the forest and I love it. | 2019-04-23T04:08:37 | https://www.thepassivevoice.com/waldeinsamkeit/ |
Pula ( ; ; ) is the largest city in Istria County , Croatia , situated at the southern tip of the Istria peninsula, with a population of 62,080 (2006).Like the rest of the region, it is known for its mild climate, tame sea, and unspoiled nature. The city has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. Pula has also been Istria's administrative centre since ancient Roman times.
Its population density is 1,093.27 residents/km², ranking Pula fifth in Croatia.
Its birth rate is 1.795 per cent and its mortality rate is 1.014 per cent (in 2001 466 people were born and 594 deceased), with a natural population decrease of -0.219 per cent and vital index of 78.45.
The majority of its citizens are Croats representing 71.65% of the population (2001 census). Ethnic minorities and their composition is as follows: 3,415 Serbs (5.83 per cent), 2,824 Italians (4.82 per cent), 980 Bosniaks (1.67 per cent), 731 Slovenians (1.25 per cent) and the rest belong to other minor ethnic communities.
The city lies on and beneath seven hills on the inner part of a wide gulf and a naturally well-protected port (depth up to ) open to the northwest with two entrances: from the sea and through Fažana channel.
Today, Pula's geographical area amounts to , on land and at sea, bounded from the north by islands Sv. Jerolim and Kozada, city areas Štinjan, Veli Vrh and Šijanic forest; from the east area Monteserpo, Valmade, Busoler and Valdebek; from the south with the old gas works, commercial port Veruda and island Veruda; and from the west Verudela, Lungomare and Musil.
Like the rest of the region it is known for its mild climate, tame sea, and unspoiled nature with an average of sunny days of 2,316 hours per year or 6.3 hours a day, with an average air temperature of ( in February to in July and August) and sea temperature from to .
Hominid remains, dating back to 1 million years B.C., have been found in the cave of Šandalja near Pula. Pottery from the Neolithic period (6000-2000 B.C.), indicating human settlement, have been found around Pula.
The city's earliest recorded permanent habitation dates back to the 10th century BC. It was founded by the Illyrian tribe of the Histri, an ancient people that lived in Istria.
The town was known to early Greek voyagers, since its founding was attributed to the Colchis. It was mentioned in the mythological story of Jason and Medea, who had stolen the golden fleece. The Colchis, who had chased Jason into the northern Adriatic, were unable to catch him and ended up settling in the region where the Illyric tribe lived. They called the place Polai, signifying "city of refuge". Greek pottery and a part of a statue of Apollo have been found, attesting to the presence of the Greek culture.
The Istrian peninsula was conquered by the Romans in 177 B.C., starting a period of Romanization. The town was elevated to colonial rank between 46-45 B.C. as the tenth region of the Roman Empire, under Julius Caesar. During that time the town grew and had at its zenith a population of about 30,000. It became a significant Roman port with a large surrounding area under its jurisdiction. During the civil war of 42 B.C. of the triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus against Caesar's assassins Brutus and Cassius, the town took the side of Cassius, since the town had been founded by Cassius Longinus, brother of Cassius. After Octavian's victory, the town was demolished. It was soon rebuilt at the request of Octavian's daughter Iulia and was then called Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola Pollentia Herculanea'. Great classical constructions were built of which a few remain. A great amphitheatre, Pula Arena was constructed between 27 BC - 68 AD., much of it still standing to this day. The Romans also supplied the city with a water supply and sewage systems. They fortified the city with a wall with ten gates. A few of these gates still remain: the triumphal Arch of the Sergii , the Gate of Hercules (in which the names of the founders of the city are engraved) and the Twin Gates. This town was the site of Gallus Caesar's execution. During the reign of emperor Septimius Severus the name of the town was changed into "Res Publica Polensis"
In 425 A.D. the town became the centre of a bishopric, attested by the remains of foundations of a few religious buildings.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the city and region were attacked by the Ostrogoths, Pula being virtually destroyed by Odoacer, a Germanic foederati general in 476 AD. The town was ruled by the Ostrogoths from 493 to 538 AD. When their rule ended, Pula came under the rule of the Exarchate of Ravenna (540-751). During this period Pula prospered and became the major port of the Byzantine fleet and integral part of the Byzantine Empire. The Basilica of Saint Mary Formosa was built in this period.
The first arrival of the Slavs in the environs of the town dates to the 7th century, but they never really settled the city, which kept its Roman soul. The history of the city continued to reflect its location and significance, like that of the region, in the redrawing of borders between European powers.
From 788 on Pula was ruled by the Frankish kingdom under Charlemagne, with the introduction of the feudal system. Pula became the seat of the elective counts of Istria until 1077. The town was taken in 1148 by the Venetians and in 1150 Pula swore allegiance to the Republic of Venice , thus becoming a Venetian possession. For centuries thereafter, the city's fate and fortunes were tied to those of Venetian power. It was conquered by the Pisans in 1192 but soon reconquered by the Venetians.
In 1238 Pope Gregory IX formed an alliance between Genoa and Venice against the Empire, and consequently against Pisa too. As Pula had sided with the Pisans, the city was sacked by the Venetians in 1243. It was destroyed again in 1267 and again in 1397 when the Genoese defeated the Venetians in a naval battle.
Pula then slowly went into decline. This decay was accelerated by the infighting of local families: the ancient Roman Sergi family and the Ionotasi (1258-1271) and the clash between Venice and Genoa for the control of the city and its harbour (late 13th - 14th century). In 1291 - by the Peace of Treviso - Patriarch Raimondo della Torre gained the city as part of the secular realm of his Patriarchate of Aquileia, only to lose it to Venice in 1331, which then held it until its downfall in 1797.
Pula is quoted by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, who had visited Pula, in the Divine Comedy: "come a Pola, presso del Carnaro ch'Italia chiude e i suoi termini bagna" or "as Pula, along the Quarnero , that marks the end of Italy and bathes its boundaries".
Venetians took over Pula in 1331 and would rule the city until 1797. During the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, Pula was attacked and occupied by the Genoese, a Croatian-Hungarian army and the Habsburgs; several outlying medieval settlements and towns were destroyed. In addition to war, the plague, malaria and typhoid ravaged the city. By the 1750s there were only 300 inhabitants left in the city, wandering around the ancient city, now covered with weeds and ivy.
With the collapse of the Venetian Republic in 1797, when Venice was beaten by the army of Napoleon, the city became part of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was invaded in 1805 after the French had beaten the Austrians. It was included in the French Empire's puppet Kingdom of Italy, then placed directly under the French Empire's Illyrian Provinces.
In 1813, Pula and Istria were restored to the Austrian Empire (later the Austro-Hungarian Empire), and became part of the Austrian Littoral crown land. During this period Pula regained prosperity. From 1859 Pula's large natural harbour became Austria's main naval base and a major shipbuilding centre. It was chosen for this honour by Hans Birch Dahlerup, a Danish admiral in the service of Austria. The city transformed from a small city with a fading antique splendour into an industrial town. The island of Brijuni to the south of Pula became the summer vacation resort of Austria's Habsburg royal family.
In World War I, the port was the main base for Austro-Hungarian dreadnoughts and other naval forces of the Empire.
During this period many inhabitants were Italian speaking. The 1910 Austrian census recorded a city population of 58,562 (45.8% Italian speaking; 15.2% Slavic). However, this census focused on the spoken language, not the nationality of the citizens. Following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, Pula and the whole of Istria - except the territory of Kastav - were given to Italy under the peace treaty.
The decline in population after World War I was mainly due to economic difficulties caused by the large-scale reduction of the Austro-Hungarian military and bureaucratic facilities and the dismissal of workers from its shipyard. Under the fascist government of Benito Mussolini, non-Italians, especially Slavic residents, faced huge political and cultural repression and many fled the city and Istria altogether. Italian rule lasted until its capitulation in September 1943. The Nazi German army entered to fill the vacuum left by retreating Italian soldiers. The whole city became part of “Küstenland”, the occupied zone under the Third Reich. During German military rule (1943-1945), Pula was integrated into the Operational Zone Adriatic Coast, a German occupation zone. The city then saw a very difficult period: arrests, deportations and executions of people suspected of helping the Partisans' guerilla struggle. The city was subjected to repeated Allied air raids during the Second World War.
For several years after 1945, Pula was administered by the United Nations. Istria was partitioned into occupation zones until the region became officially united with the rest of Croatia within the SFR Yugoslavia on September 15, 1947. Pula formed an enclave of the Zone "A" defined by the Morgan Line within SFR Yugoslavia , occupied by a company of the United States 351st Infantry and a British battalion of the 24th Guards Brigade.
When the city was ceded to SR Croatia, a republic of SFR Yugoslavia , upon the ratification of the Italian Peace Treaty on 15 September 1947, creating the Free Territory of Trieste, its population of 45,000 was largely made up of ethnic Italians and Istro-Romanians. However, between December 1946 and September 1947, most of the city's Italian residents opted to emigrate to Italy during the Istrian exodus. On August 18, 1946 it was the site of the Vergarola explosion.
Subsequently, the city's Croatian name, Pula, became official (Italian name: Pola). Since the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1992, Pula and Istria have become part of the modern-day Republic of Croatia.
The city is best known for its many surviving ancient Roman buildings, the most famous of which is its first century amphitheatre, which is among the six largest surviving Roman arenas in the World. and locally known as the Arena . This is one of the best preserved amphitheatres from antiquity and is still in use today during summer film festivals. During the World War II Italian fascist administration, there were attempts to disassemble the arena and move it to mainland Italy, which were quickly abandoned due to the costs involved.
Two other notable and well-preserved ancient Roman structures are the 1st century AD triumphal arch , the Arch of the Sergii and the co-eval temple of Rome and Augustus, built in the 1st century AD built on the forum during the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus.
The Twin Gates (Porta Gemina) is one of the few remaining gates after the city walls were pulled down at the beginning of the 19th century. It dates from the mid-2nd century, replacing an earlier gate. It consists of two arches, columns, a plain architrave and a decorated frieze. Close by are a few remains of the old city wall.
The Gate of Hercules dates from the first century. At the top of the single arch one can see the bearded head of Hercules, carved in high-relief, and his club on the adjoining voussoir. A damaged inscription, close to the club, contains the names of Lucius Calpurnius Piso and Gaius Cassius Longinus who were entrusted by the Roman senate to found a colony at the site of Pula. Thus it can be deducted that Pula was founded between 47 and 44 BC.
The Augustan Forum' was constructed in the first century BC, close to the sea. In Roman times it was surrounded by temples of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. This Roman commercial and administrative centre of the city remained the main square of classical and medieval Pula. It still is the main administrative and legislative centre of the city. The temple of Roma and Augustus is still preserved today. A part of the back wall of the temple of Juno was integrated into the Communal Palace in the 13th century.
Two Roman theatres have withstood the ravages of time: the smaller one (diam. circa 50 m; 2nd c. AD) near the centre, the larger one (diam. circa 100 m; 1st c. AD) on the southern edge of the city.
The city's old quarter of narrow streets, lined with Medieval and Renaissance buildings, are still surfaced with ancient Roman paving stones.
The Byzantine chapel of St. Mary Formosa was built in the 6th century (before 546) in the form of a Greek cross, resembling the churches in Ravenna . It was built by deacon Maximian, who became later Archbishop of Ravenna. It was, together with another chapel, part of a Benedictine abbey that was demolished in the 16th century. The floors and the walls are decorated with 6th-century mosaics. The decoration bears some resemblance to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia at Ravenna . The wall over the door contains a Byzantine carved stone panel. The 15th-century wall paintings may be restorations of Early Christian paintings. When the Venetians raided Pula in 1605, they removed many treasures from this chapel to Venice, including the four columns of oriental alabaster that stand behind the high altar of St Mark's Basilica .
The church of St. Francis dates from the end of the 13th century. It was built in 1314 in late Romanesque style with Gothic additions such as the rose window. The church consists of a single nave with three apses. An unusual feature of this church is the double pulpit, with one part projecting into the street. A 15th-century wooden polyptych from an Emilia artist adorns the altar. The west portal is decorated with shell motifs and a rose window. The adjoining monastery dates from the 14th century. The cloisters display some antique Roman artifacts.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in the 6 th century, when Pula became the seat of a bishopry, over the remains over the original site where the Christians used to gather and pray in Roman times. It was enlarged in the 10th century. After its destruction by Genoese and Venetian raids, it was almost completely rebuilt in the 15th century. It got its present form when a late Renaissance façade was added in the early 16th century. The church still retains several Romanesque and Byzantine characters, such as some parts of the walls (dating from the 4th century), a few of the original column capitals and the upper windows of the nave. In the altar area and in the room to the south one can still see fragments of 5th to 6th-century floor mosaics with memorial inscriptions from worshippers who paid for the mosaics. The windows of the aisles underwent reconstruction in Gothic style after a fire in 1242. The belfry in front the church was built between 1671 and 1707 with stones form the amphitheatre. There also used to stand a baptistery from the 5th century in front of the church, but it was demolished in 1885.
The Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas with its Ravenna-style polygonal apse, originally dates from the 6th century, but was partially rebuilt in the 10th century. In 1583 it was assigned to the Orthodox community of Pula, mainly immigrants from Cyprus and Nauplion . The church owns several icons from the 15th and the 16th century and an iconostasis from the Greek artists Tomios Batos from the 18th century.
The star-shaped castle with four bastions is situated on top of the central hill of the old city. It was built, over the remains of the Roman capitolium , by the Venetians in the 14th century, following the plans of the French military architect Antoine de Ville. Since 1961 it now houses the Historical Museum of Istria. Close by, on the north-eastern slopes, one can see the remains of a 2nd-century theatre.
The Archaeological Museum of Istria is situated in the park on a lower level than the Roman theatre and close to the Twin Gates. Its collection was started by Marshall Marmont in August 1802 when he collected the stone monuments from the temple of Roma and Augustus. The present-day museum was opened in 1949. It displays treasures from Pula and surroundings from prehistory until the Middle Ages.
As a result of its rich political history, Pula is a city with a cultural mixture of people and languages from the Mediterranean and Central Europe, ancient and contemporary. Pula's architecture reflects these layers of history. Residents are commonly fluent in foreign languages, especially Italian, often also German and English. From October 30, 1904 to March 1905 Irish writer James Joyce taught English at the Berlitz School; his students were mainly Austro-Hungarian naval officers who were stationed at the Naval Shipyard. While he was in Pula he organized the local printing of his broadsheet The Holy Office, which satirized both William Butler Yeats and George William Russell.
Italian natives of the city are known as "polesi" and "polesani"
Major industries include shipbuilding, processing industry, tourism, traffic, food industries, construction industries and other non-metal industries.

The natural beauty of Pula's surrounding countryside and turquoise water of the Adriatic have made the city an internationally popular summer vacation destination. The pearl nearby is Brijuni national park visited by numerous world leaders since it was the summer residence of Josip Broz Tito. Roman villas and temples still lie buried among farm fields and along the shoreline of the dozens of surrounding fishing and farming villages. The coastal waters offer beaches, fishing, wreck dives to ancient Roman galleys and World War I warships, cliff diving, and sailing to unspoiled coves and islands large and small.
Pula is the end point of the EuroVelo 9 cycle route that runs from Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea through Poland , the Czech Republic , Austria , Slovenia and Croatia .
It is possible to track dinosaur footprints on the nearby sea shores; certain more important finds have been made at an undisclosed location near Bale .
Pula had an electric tramway system in the early 20th century. It was built in 1904 as a part of Pula's economic crescendo during the Austro-Hungarian rule. After WWI, during the Fascist rule, the need for tram transportation declined and it was finally dismantled in 1934.
Pula Airport is located north-east of Pula, and serves both domestic and international destinations. Similarly to nearby Rijeka Airport , it is not a major international destination. However, this is likely to change as low-cost airline, Ryanair has started scheduled flights to Pula since November 2006. Nearby international airports include Trieste in Italy, Zagreb , Croatia's capital and Ljubljana , Slovenia's capital. There are direct flights into Pula airport from London and Dublin during whole year and several other large airports in Western Europe during summer.
A train service operates north from Pula through to Slovenia, however the line remains disconnected from the rest of the Croatian Railways network. Plans to tunnel the 'missing link' between this line and from Rijeka have existed for many years, and despite work commencing on this project previously, has never seen completion.
Passenger ferries also operate from the port area to nearby islands, and also to Venice and Trieste in Italy. | 2019-04-24T18:53:15 | http://maps.thefullwiki.org/Pula |
In the Wednesday morning quarterbacking after Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race, one criticism was that she had not employed that consummate politician former President Bill Clinton enough in her campaign, to speak to “the people” he could connect with and she could not.
But for all the mistakes the Clinton 2016 campaign operation and the candidate herself made — and there were plenty — sidelining Bill was not one of them.
The star of the presidential wunderkind of the 1990s already had become tarnished, his political mojo faded in the new century. Hillary perhaps had remembered how he stole the show — and not in a good way — during her 2008 presidential run, when he wore his joking “first black president” moniker into the ground with the Democratic Party’s most loyal base and his antics in the South Carolina primary ennobled rather than diminished the first-term African-American senator named Barack Obama.
When she did employ her husband during her competitive 2016 primary fight with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, perhaps in search of that old Clinton magic, rather than feel potential voters’ pain, he wagged a defensive finger as he lectured young activists protesting his 1994 crime bill and its consequences of mass incarceration that haunt the country still.
Since Hillary Clinton had already apologized for her 1996 sound bite calling young offenders “super predators,” finding other tasks for her scene-stealing husband was probably a wise call.
Even when Bill was not front and center, his presence at a debate loomed even larger than a hovering Donald Trump, whose campaign sat his accusers of sexual misconduct (Bill’s not Donald’s) in the audience.
After Bill Clinton’s latest return to the media spotlight, competitive Democrats hoping to capture the House and praying for a chance at a Senate majority might be wishing he had not picked this moment to embark on a book tour and find a way to land smack in the middle of a #MeToo movement — and not in a good way.
In an NBC interview that, like a wreck on the side of the road, was difficult to turn away from, it was clear that the times — and on reflection, Bill Clinton’s place in them — have changed. It’s not just some policies, such as maximum-minimum sentencing, that have curdled.
Surprisingly for someone once judged so astute, Clinton seemingly had not anticipated Craig Melvin’s questions on Monica Lewinsky. Instead of saying he apologized then and remains sorry today, a reasonable outreach even if he felt unfairly blindsided, the former president leaned in to defend himself, note his $16 million in legal fee debt and compare the media circus surrounding his personal scandals to the attention paid to the transgressions of the current White House occupant.
That Clinton charm was nowhere to be found.
It’s true that Donald Trump faces his own litany of accusers, including former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, now suing the president for defamation (a judge has ruled Trump can be deposed), a profane “Access Hollywood” tape, and a Cabinet and staff marked by accusations of incompetence and corruption — with EPA chief Scott Pruitt and the Russia investigation making daily headlines.
Clinton’s supporters would take his flaws over Trump’s mountain of political and personal indignities, especially if you throw in more judges such as Clinton Supreme Court pick Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
But a game of “whataboutism” and a reminder from Bill Clinton of all the women he hired and promoted does not excuse Clinton’s reckless behavior with a White House intern in her 20s when he was the president of the United States. Saying that two-thirds of the American people were on your side makes you sound a little too much like another president who measures success by crowd size and ratings.
Lewinsky has found her public voice in recent years, in a TED Talk on shame and bullying, and a Vanity Fair article recognizing the power imbalance in a relationship she nevertheless and forthrightly has owned as consensual. She has earned it after a life upended and then reclaimed, for the years in which she certainly paid a higher price than the adult president in the room.
Her words resonate with a generation of women and men who are discussing relationships — healthy, toxic and in-between — and finding their way on what is and is not acceptable at work and in life. And they vote. Few of these voters have any nostalgia or patience for Bill Clinton and have moved on to craving new voices and politicians.
On CNN, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, when asked about Clinton’s TV appearance, said the former president should make things right with Lewinsky: “I was raised that when you screw up and you make a mistake, you say sorry, and if it’s not good enough for the person you are apologizing to, you keep saying sorry until they feel comfortable and you are recognizing that you made a mistake.” Clinton has followed his initial words with versions of a walk-back — on CNN and in a visit with Stephen Colbert — but if he thought he would get a pass, he was mistaken.
Any hope for a Democratic wave in the fall depends on enthusiasm from women and young voters who are looking to the future rather than the past. The result of Tuesday’s primaries in California and other states show tough races across the country. So expect Bill Clinton to be the invisible man on the campaign trail, as nervous Democrats who want to offer fresh ideas show little interest in half-hearted apologies from a tainted surrogate.
Bill Clinton himself has acknowledged that much has changed in 20 years — in a good way. | 2019-04-20T12:29:06 | https://www.rollcall.com/news/opinion/bill-clinton-campaigning-democrats |
According to the most recent Charities Aid Foundation report on corporate giving, FTSE 100 companies donated an average of 1.9% of pre-tax profits, a total of £2.1 billion, in 2014. By anyone’s standards, £2.1 billion is a great deal of money. In the charity sector, ‘millions’, let alone ‘billions’, is substantial.
With billions of pounds donated in just one year, there must be a catalogue of amazing successes attributable to these vast sums. Surely years of corporate donations in the billions will have produced incredible results in the world of health, education, arts & culture, environment and other social areas.
Maybe … but examples are difficult to find.
Unfortunately, the best practices that companies often apply to most areas of business such as client acquisition, relationship management or research & development are disregarded in relation to donating to charity. On many levels this is unfortunate and irresponsible.
Even companies with strong sustainability strategies, well-articulated purpose statements and established impact investing programmes struggle with effective philanthropic programmes. The challenges can usually be attributed to lack of confidence, lack of focus or lack of expertise.
Short-termism defined as “an excessive focus on short-term results at the expense of long-term interests” isn’t restricted to earning per share preoccupation and end of year bonuses obsession. Companies also expect to see quick returns on everything from key hires to sponsorship deals. Unfortunately donating to charity sometimes falls into this category as evidenced by the number of ‘charity of the year’ programmes. The problem with short-term associations is that they don’t allow companies and charities to develop strong relationships with mutual understanding of opportunities and challenges. The lack of confidence to commit to a longer-term partnership restricts ambitious goals for the partnership which could have far-reaching impact.
Companies are constantly approached for donations across geographies and business units. Realising that ‘grass roots’ interactions are often most effective, it’s tempting to roll out a localised approach to corporate charitable giving with each market and / or unit responsible for its donation budget. This applies to the company’s donations as well as the stewardship of employee donations. The difficulty with this approach is that the overall impact is almost impossible to measure which results in low buy-in from employees and other stakeholders. Saying ‘no’ is difficult but imperative if a company wants to deliver a targeted and meaningful approach to its charitable giving.
The level of enthusiasm to support causes that are close to the hearts of employees, customers and other important groups is encouraging. Unfortunately, the skills required to co-develop meaningful and transformational programmes with charity partners is often underestimated. Community investment roles are often assigned to loyal employees that want to ‘give back’ or do something more meaningful within the organisation. As tempting as this solution is to retain talent, it often translates into teams of enthusiastic amateurs managing multi-million pound budgets which would simply not happen in other areas of the business. Employees throughout the organisation can play an important role in the company’s donation programme but ensuring that experienced professionals are at the helm of the corporate giving strategy is crucial.
The private sector has an important role to play in contributing to society and using its range of resources to solve problems. There are a growing number of excellent programmes that are tackling supply chain issues, access to finance, employability and strategic use of technology to name just a few.
Giving effectively to charity is only one area of a company’s corporate responsibility strategy. Often seen as a non-core activity, its status should be elevated. Managed effectively, it has the power to unite employees and other stakeholders. It can provide a focal point for the company’s purpose agenda. Most importantly, it can help to create significant impact within the chosen area of health, education, social change or other cause identified.
As companies settle into an exciting 2017, they should consider what changes they can make to their charitable giving programmes. Are they clear about what they want to achieve? Can they strive to do better? Now is the time.
This almost certainly doesn’t reflect the full amount as an amendment to Companies Act in 2013 means that companies don’t have to report information about their donations. As such, 13 companies on the exchange have ceased publishing donation information. | 2019-04-19T12:28:45 | http://philanthropycompany.com/2-1-billion-corporate-donations-show-impact/ |
Advantages for employers and employees exist when the employer allows employees to work flexible schedules. Whether the flexible work schedule involves compressing work days, flexible daily hours, or telecommuting, challenges exist for the employer and the employee. Let's take a look at the advantages for employers and employees that negotiating a flexible work schedule provides.
Flexibility to meet family needs, personal obligations, and life responsibilities conveniently. If you have a flexible schedule, you can go to a parent-teacher conference during the day, take a yoga class, or be home when the washing machine repair person comes.
Reduced consumption of employee commuting time and fuel costs. In some areas, commutes of more than an hour each way are not uncommon. If these employees are allowed to work from home, that saves two hours of time, gas, and wear and tear on the road. Not to mention, fewer people driving means it's easier for those people who are commuting.
Avoids traffic and the stresses of commuting during rush hours. You might be amazed at how much faster a commute can be if you can drive to the office at 10:00 instead of 8:00.
Increased feeling of personal control over schedule and work environment. One reason people like to work for themselves is the control issue. By allowing employees to determine their own schedule and work environment, you appeal to the entrepreneurial spirit—which can be good for your employees.
Reduces employee burnout due to overload. Flexibility means employees can take a break when they need it without incurring the wrath of a boss.
Allows people to work when they accomplish most, feel freshest, and enjoy working. (eg. morning person vs. night person). Many managers feel that early birds are hard workers and night owls are slackers. There's no evidence that that is the case—it's simply cultural.
Depending on the flexible work schedule chosen, may decrease external childcare hours and costs. It needs to be clear that for all but a handful of jobs, working from home still requires child care because you can't work effectively while also entertaining a toddler. However, if a couple both have flexible schedules, Mom can go into the office at 6:00 a.m. and Dad can get the kids ready for school. Mom's 8-hour day is finished by 2:00 p.m. and she can meet the bus at 3:00 p.m., while Dad starts his workday at 9:30 a.m. The result is two full-time jobs and incomes with no childcare costs.
Increased ability to recruit outstanding employees.
Allows people to work when they accomplish most, feel freshest, and enjoy working. (e.g. morning person vs. night person).
Extended hours of operation for departments such as customer service.
Develops image as an employer of choice with family-friendly flexible work schedules.
There are also key organizational challenges to address to make flexible work schedules support your business. In and of themselves, as a positive benefit for employees, flexible work schedules support employee engagement, positive morale, and retention. But, flexible work schedules must operate to meet the needs of the business, too.
Employees who thrive in an office environment may find it difficult to work when colleagues don't hold the same schedule. This is why many employers require core days and core hours during which everyone is in the office.
There is no clear delineation between work and home. When you use flexible schedules sometimes that means work all of the time. If your boss allows you the flexibility to go to to your child's soccer game, then the boss may not feel guilty about calling you at 9:30 p.m.
In team-oriented departments, teams still need to meet, which requires set guidelines.
Some people take advantage of the flexibility and use that as an invitation to work from home which really means watch Netflix with their email screen open.
Some managers, who are used to seeing when their staff members come to work, watching what staff do all day at work, and knowing when people leave for home, have trouble adjusting to the new management style which requires trust.
Office-oriented people sometimes view their work-at-home colleagues as slackers because they can't physically see their productivity.
Compressed work weeks can make client handovers complicated—clients expect service 5 days a week during business hours and can be fussy when an employee isn't in on Friday.
Jobs that require customer-facing responsibilities only allow certain types of flextime. Whole days working from home are not an option. Other kinds of jobs such as assembly-line manufacturing and hands-on healthcare such as nursing share the same disadvantages. Employers struggle with fairness when only certain employees can work remotely.
Overall, the advantages generally outweigh the disadvantages and a good manager can handle the disadvantages. Flexible scheduling has become part of what employees are looking for in their comprehensive employee benefits packages. Your employees will love you; the employer will benefit from overall positive morale which is linked to increased productivity. Best? You will retain your superior employees.

Discussion in 'How is your display put together...' started by BrianJ, Jun 25, 2012.
Hi, I am new to the forum, and to the world of Christmas light shows. this is my second post and first question. I hope I am putting it in the right place.
Across the front of my house (eaves) I would like to run 6 circuits of C6 LED strings and one run of LED icicles from the same location. They are 70 light sets (3 strings per circuit totaling 1260 bulbs plus icicles) with 4 inches/10cm between bulb centers. There seems to be enough space between the bulbs to allow all of them to be mounted in a single straight line from the lower edge of the fascia or the soffit. Is it ok to mount them so close to each other or will they color wash to much when all bulbs are on? I am unsure how to mount them cleanly so that all the bulbs are lined up straight. I hope some others have found a decent method of mounting lights to the under side of the eaves.
The lights would be ordered like this I think, White, Blue, Red, White2, Green, Yellow. This would allow even spacing on a white/white chase or a blue/green chase or a red/yellow chase. Any input would be appreciated.
I presume from your post that you want to be able to display the strings as individual selected colours, or to be able to chase the bulbs along the eaves. The selected colours will work OK, however, the chase function will not; - a chase requires a minimum of 3 channels, but preferably 4. Two channels ( as prpopsed) will only give you a flasying effect - not a moving chase.
My suggestion for your setup would be to ziptie the 4 coloured channels at equal spacings (you can then use these as individual colours or for a multi colour chase. Then assuming your icicles are white - ziptie the 2 white channels (or 4 if you want to add a white chase effect) to the icicles and mount them just below (or above) the coloured strings. The combination of white icicles and white strings then allow the programming of a "bouncing" icicle effect which I think looks pretty good. (See some of my 2011 videos). Trying to combine 8 channels as a string will make the bulbs too crowded. | 2019-04-21T14:52:03 | https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/mounting-led-strings.2379/ |

I see luxury items as an investment. I know it is not to everyones taste however I love brands. I love the history behind some brands and believe in the quality. Over the last couple of months I have bought a few items which I absolutely love and do not regret purchasing! Money is hard to come by so I don't just go out spending money on whatever I like! I think 100x before I make a purchase and do my research to make sure I am getting the best and spending my money on something which is going to last me years to come.
I have been lusting over these espadrilles forever. I have had Chanel espadrilles before, the canvas navy and black pair however did not think it suited my style. I have been on the hunt for a black and white pair for a good two years so when I saw these I had to make an immediate purchase! These are the speckled leather version with double sole. I have them in UK size 6 when I am normally a UK size 5, this is because it is leather and during summer I did not want my feet to sweat! I am only planning to wear them during summer as I can see them getting ruined in winter. Therefore for the time being these are now packed away in my wardrobe ready for summer season. I purchased these for £350, not sure if the price is different here in the UK as these are from abroad and currency varies. Would I recommend these? Ofcourse! They look stunning on and go with every outfit. They are very comfortable and give me that little height due to the double sole. If you see them in store and they have your size don't hesitate to purchase them as they are always sold out so you would be very lucky to get your hands on a pair!
Isn't this brooch breath taking? I was in London back in September and as always went into Selfridges. After browsing through a few departments I had to go into Chanel even though I don't think my bank account was pleased. I went in mainly to look around and this unique classic piece stood out to me. I love my bling as I like to wear simple outfits and glam it up with some sparkle. This therefore looked perfect. I remember standing there starring at this brooch, imagining myself wearing it with a denim jacket, some leggings and trainers as well as a lovely dress and heels. This meant to me I could style this in any way I wanted whether it was casual or for an occasion. I asked the assistant for the price and was told it was £400+ (can't remember the exact price, maybe £425?, will look at my receipt and update!) I could not justify the price and told myself I did not need it and walked out. However the resist didn't last for long and I had to go back to purchase it the very next day! A brooch is very versatile and you can wear this on your jacket, top, jeans, belt, scarf, hat, shawl...etc!
Ok, I have always had the classic Michael Kors purse, that lasted me for a good 5 years until the leather decided to rip as I used to overload my purse with receipts, cards and coins! I kept the MK purse and used it for a good year and a half even after it ripped as there was no other purse that stood out to me. I also used a basic coin purse which had 'London' written on for all my coins. I don't know how but I always end up with loads of change. Anyways, when I went to London last month, I decided I was going to purchase a new purse/wallet but not knowing which one. Once again I went into Selfridges and straight to Chanel. I asked to see their small leather goods and the assistant showed me this purse as well as the lambskin version, card holder in both leathers and the big long purse. Card holder was out of the question because the price difference between this and the card holder was about £40. You are getting a lot more leather and space with this purse compared to the card holder. This retails for £360 and is in Caviar leather which is more durable and scratch resistant compared to lambskin. I can fit about 10 cards in this as well as some cash and some coins, so all in one. One reason why I went for this purse compared to the long version is because I tend to carry small bags now such as the Lady Dior Mini, which does not have space for a large purse. Would I recommend this? So far yes! I love it, looks very classy and I love the quilting as its ones of Chanel's classic pieces.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this post and hopefully talk to you all on Twitter!

Perhaps the most important thing to realise is that you cannot use social media to simply broadcast information to an audience. Social media platforms have fundamentally redefined the relationship between consumers and brands. The more traditional channels (like TV, radio and magazine advertising) were one-way communication mediums: you told people what you wanted them to hear, and they had no way of replying – at least not via the same medium.
Social media platforms offer a two-way medium. Your audience can communicate back to you – in real time. This means that you are no longer broadcasting information to your audience – you are in a conversation with them. It’s important to understand that your audience knows this and expects it. So if you don’t accept the conversation and engage with them, they will feel ignored and affronted – which is not good for your brand and your relationship with your customers.
You cannot afford to simply post things on social media and leave it at that.
One of the frustrations that many companies have when they use social media is that they feel it is not helping them to make sales. This has very little to do with the way they are pitching on social media, and everything to do with the fact that social media platforms are not sales channels. They are information distribution channels and engagement channels. This is where you build relationships - not where you make sales.
Imagine you’ve just arrived at a friend’s cocktail party, where you’re introduced to some people you’ve never met. You’ll exchange some small talk, perhaps strike up more in-depth conversations, even make a few new friends. You wouldn’t dream of launching into a sales pitch for your products within 10 minutes of being introduced.
Decide which social media platforms to use. Don’t just assume that you need to be on Facebook just because it’s so popular. It may not be where your best audience is. Take some time to discover which social media sites your customers and potential customers frequent, and why they use them.
If you offer B2B services it may be more beneficial to concentrate on LinkedIn, which is more business oriented. Whereas if you sell hair care products directly to consumers, Facebook may offer better engagement opportunities.
Just as you tailor your communication style in everyday life to the context in which you find yourself, you should do the same on social media. Business communication on LinkedIn needs to be a bit more professional, whereas you can perhaps afford to take a more casual, familiar approach on Facebook, and use shorthand, telex style with Twitter. | 2019-04-22T02:55:29 | https://www.budgetinsurance.co.za/blog/business-blog/social-media-advice-for-small-businesses/ |
In a dream, a fever means paying oneâs debts, for fever in wakefulness is an atonement for sins. Fever in a dream also means a threat and a menace.
If one sees someone he knows suffering from fever in a dream, it means that he will get involved in a business that will require him to lose his religious commitment. Fever in a dream also means wearing the garment of a revered person. Fever is the messenger of the angel of death and his warner.
It reminds the person to repent before death comes and to corrects his conduct with his Lord before meeting Him.
A feverish shiver in a dream means negligence and disdain regarding oneâs religious duties.
If one sees that he died and was washed and shrouded in preparation for burial in a dream, it means that he is persistent in indulging in sins and that he is careless about the consequences.
Such a warning is only seen in a dream by an insolent sinner, if he is lucky. Fever in a dream also may connote entering a bathhouse or a sauna and suffering therein from heat, exhaustion and thirst. | 2019-04-25T09:09:39 | http://dreaminterpretation.dedikmi.com/12402-seeing-Fever-in-dream-islam-dream-Fever-dream-meaning-dream-interpretation-spiritual-meaning |

I have to admit, it has never been easier to search and find beautiful things that spark my imagination. However sceptical we might be about it, Instagram is a real treat for those following the movers and shakers in the creative community. So this is one of my most recent sightings. Even though she doesn’t really like to consider herself an artist per se, Luisa Azevedo is a bright, young Portuguese photographer, instagrammer and collagist from Covilhã with a ton of creativity up her sleeve. Curious, playful and boasting a glaring love for the sea, she captures the sun-kissed moments she comes across on the Atlantic coast and wittily blends them into grand compositions that certainly makes you look not once but twice.

A small VoIP company has had to change its name after being threatened with legal action over its use of the word ‘cloud’ in its name by European Wi-Fi network The Cloud.
Facing a High Court case, Cloudnet Telecommunications decided to avoid potentially heavy legal costs and give itself the new name by which it is now known, Birchills Telecom.
The two companies don’t compete directly but had vaguely similar registered names, Cloudnet Telecommunications Ltd, founded in 2009, and The Cloud Networks Ltd, founded in 2003.
“We were told by The Cloud’s legal team to simply change our name in case The Cloud decided, at a later date, to sell telephone systems,” said Birchills Telecom founder, Dave Hill.
Despite the name similarity, a check on Companies House register reveals many dozens of companies using the word ‘cloud’ in their names, including some that operate in the computing sphere, so Birchills now believes there could be a less obvious motive for the threat – bad SEO on Google.
Hill’s company was first contacted by The Cloud in August 2010, days after he noticed the latter suffering in Google search returns.
“We provide business phone systems and cannot be simply mistaken for the Wi-Fi hotspot provider, and were in no way trying to pass ourselves off as them. We have now had to invest in changing our branding, marketing materials, emails and more, while keeping our customers happy and informed of the changes,” adds a miffed Hill.
The company would have fought the demand had it been able to afford the legal costs, which Hill believes would have run to a six-figure sum for each day at the High Court.
The SEO theory is hard to assess retrospectively. Running a Google UK search today will overwhelmingly return Wi-Fi giant ‘The Cloud’ depending on the precise cloud-related term entered. If the company found itself usurped by a separate company finessing Google’s algorithms to get a higher entry that could easily have caused pique. The term ‘cloud’ is generic which makes standing out in search returns that much harder to begin with.
What Birchills, formerly Cloudnet Telecommunications, has been canny about is generating publicity out of its enforced name change.
The Cloud was asked to comment on the story but had not replied at press time. | 2019-04-19T06:40:58 | https://www.computerworlduk.com/it-vendors/voip-company-changes-name-after-the-cloud-legal-threat-3265410/ |

Last week I had the privilege of delivering a guest lecture in Christopher McKinley’s “Introduction to Communication and Media Arts” course among 135 undergraduate students. My 25-minute presentation emerged as quite the scholarly love letter to the late Neil Postman, who was my doctoral advisor in media ecology at New York University from 1995-1998. My lecture is titled, “A Very Brief and Highly Autobiographical Introduction to Media Literacy Education,” and what fun I had reflecting upon my lifelong pursuit of communication, education and technology. And it’s probably the closest I’ll get to doing a TED talk. Enjoy.
If you like the presentation, you will soon be able to read more in my contributory chapter to Renee Hobbs’ forthcoming edited volume: Exploring the Roots of Digital and Media Literacy through Personal Narrative (Temple University Press, 2015). | 2019-04-20T15:09:08 | http://vanessagreenwood.us/my-scholarly-love-letter-to-neil-postman/ |
It's probably going to be another tough work week, but I am grateful that it can't be as bad as last week was! Reason being, I got my manuscript of the first Geren book returned to me on Monday the 2nd, along with a bunch of feedback and reference documents. And I was so busy between work, writing, and commitments that I had no more than 10-15 minute intervals in which I could even look at them until Friday. It was excruciating. I am very grateful that I made it through without calling in "sick" to work, though I haven't been so badly tempted in years. Also glad I didn't skip out of my church activities Wednesday and Thursday night, and I kept the writing up too. I think I will beg her to never send me stuff on a Monday again!
On the happier side, I got my book theme quotes and series theme quote for the Triune books all sorted out, yay!
Also very pleased that I succeeded with a platelet donation on Saturday morning, thanks to my iron level being just barely high enough.
I'd wanted to have it ready in time for my brother and sister-in-law's visit, but it ended up not working out. Still, I'm very pleased I finally got my custom wall decal of a personal motto installed in my living room, and I really like how it looks. Etsy is WONDERFUL!
Chapter 8 of DWoT is complete, and I'm hoping to get through one more next weekend. What a blessing to make such great progress!
The wall decal is great. It looks so good on the wall.
So good on your continue progress on DWoT.
I hope your work week is going better than expected.
Thanks! =) I like that it can be removed easily too, unlike a stencil.
At least the work week is going! | 2019-04-19T21:01:20 | https://shouts-of-joy.livejournal.com/373349.html |
The saying goes “You can tell a lot about a person (or company) by the company they keep.” Here at GameGlide.com, we keep some really great company.
We are avid hunters, who hunt what we can, when we can, within the ordinary working man’s budget.
What does T.R.U.E. Outdoors stand for?
TRADITION – Each of us was raised in families who hunted. We learned from our Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, and Brothers. We want to continue to pass this hunting TRADITION down to our family, but also to all those who do not have the luxury of being raised in a hunting family.
RESPECT – We hunt on public and private land where RESPECT can mean many things. On public land RESPECT means working with other hunters for the best of our sport. On private land RESPECT means knowing the land owner and treating them well. Finally, at all times whether public or private land RESPECT means caring for the land and animals God has blessed us with. We want to teach all aspects of RESPECT to both new and old hunters alike.
UNITED – We believe our passion in hunting requires being UNITED with all hunters. We feel that we have many opponents and that by being UNITED with one another is yet another key to passing down the TRADITION of our sport and teach RESPECT to others as well. We desire to UNITE with other hunters who share our passion.
ETHICAL – Finally we believe it is important to be ETHICAL in all phases of our sport, and to teach these ETHICS to the novice and seasoned hunters.
What does T.R.U.E. Outdoors do?
We are active and interactive in the Facebook social media realm.
We teach and remind hunters of TRADITION, RESPECT, UNITED, and ETHICAL aspects of our sport throughout the year.
We support and promote other organizations with similar beliefs.
We poll our fans for input and share stories of success, failure, and of lessons learned.
We promote and market our sponsors, whose products we believe in.
We support both local and national clubs and benefits.
We promote these organizations through word of mouth.
We financially support these organizations with our own hard earned money.
We attend local and regional hunting show exhibits.
We speak with many vendors at the shows.
We plan to setup our own booth at smaller local shows.
The next popular TV hunting series. We have no plans to become this.
The next big web site, selling the latest and greatest products.
AND THE WAY GOD WOULD WANT US TO DO THEM!

Second edition. Folio, 33.5 cm, original dark brown cloth decorated in blind, gilt lettered within a gilt circle on front cover, all edges gilt. pp 19 text (in double columns) + frontispiece and illustrated title + 13 other lithographed plates (mostly tinted) with tissue guards + folding map. Small cloth chips to spine tips, minor damp spotting to covers; small ink blot to fore edge of tissue guard at title leaf, map creased but not torn, small evidence of removed bookplate inside front cover, else a fine, lovely copy, text and plates very clean, no foxing, hinges and joints not cracked, no owner names, plates a clear strike. TPL 3563, Lande 1861, Sabin 33937. The lithographs were from Hunter's own drawings and were printed in Boston by J.H. Bufford, who also worked with Nathaniel Currier. "Probably the first book to include lithographs drawn by Winslow Homer, who was apprenticed to Bufford's of Boston at the relatively late age of eighteen, for a period of two years. The present work includes the apprentice's first substantial published lithograph (the third plate, View of the Locks, Entrance of Rideau Canal) which is initialed by Homer, and the large title vignette and five other plates that are attributable to him on grounds of style". - Tatham, Winslow Homer and the Printed Book (1992). " 'Ottawa scenery' first appeared in ... a small initial printing of ... a few hundred copies. A second edition ... still carrying the year 1855 on its title page, followed, probably in mid-1856... In the second edition the letterpress has been entirely reset, though the contents of Hunter's essay are virtually the same. In the first edition the signature marks on the gatherings of pages are numerals; in the second edition they are letters. Hunter altered the folding map for the second edition chiefly to show additional rail lines around Chicago. Bufford's shop redrew three of the lithographic views for the second edition. The need for a second edition seems to have arisen in the spring of 1856, when the Canadian Legislative Assembly ordered 140 copies of the book, one for each of its members. Presumably this was to inform the legislators about the town that had just become a contender in the consideration of sites for the new capitol. Because Hunter had apparently not forseen a need for a second printing, he had made no arrangements to keep standing either the type or the stones from which the first edition had been printed." - Tatham. The plates include: (1) Bird's Eye View of Chaudière Falls; (2) Rideau Falls; (3) View of Locks; (4) View from Barrack Hill - Looking Down the Ottawa; (5) View from Barrack Hill; (6) Junction of the Gatineau with the Ottawa river; (7) The Approach of the Suspension Bridge; (8) Suspension Bridge over Chaudière Falls; (9) The Big Kettle; (10) A Portion of the Chaudière Falls, from the North; (11) The Chasm, Chaudière Falls; (12) View from Interior of Chasm; (13) Timber Slide; (14) Natural Curiosity Ottawa River.

And yet another week comes to a close. I’ve barely been here, due to the fact that I had to jet off to the land of the flat mountain and ravenous baboons, Cape Town this week, to go grab me a Visa. And while even Romania is hesitant about letting me in, I reckon that I’ll be successful. Here’s our weekly wrap-up of pictures, Batmen, ladies and comments.
With gaming in a bad light yet again due to several violent tragedies, it’s heart-warming to know that somewhere out there, people in the industry still care. Enter our own local branch of Xbox 360, who went ahead and surprised young Keagan Gillepsie with some Halo and Forza goodies, and even got the Master Chief to make an appearance. Well done lads, it’s reassuring to know that at the end of the day, we’re more than just targets for overzealous politicians. We’re people with hearts and love for our fellow gamers.
I played Devil May Cry. I clocked it. I finished it. Hell, I’m playing through it for a third time now on a higher difficulty, I love the damn game that much. But as usual, the whiny crybabies of the world just can’t get over the fact that people have different opinions and that DmC might actually be a damn good game, even if it is cosmetically different. While Capcom is using the rage to make some extra coin on the side, another bunch of entitled whiners wants the game taken off the shelves completely, and have petitioned US president Barack Obama to make it so.

With the former publishing giant deader than my singing career, everyone wanted a piece of the THQ IP pie in Geoff’s article, a discussion which led to 64 comments adding their own two bits to who should get what. And strangely enough, Gavin received the exact amount of comments for his warning about purchasing movies on the Xbox 360. So, it’s a stalemate between the two Gs. Although knowing them, this will end in blood and tears. Most likely mine.

Santa Clara , city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. It is a communications and commercial center located on major rail and highway junctions; it also has an airport. Cattle raising was the traditional industry until the 19th cent., when sugarcane became important. Tobacco processing and trading are carried on there. Santa Clara was founded in 1689. It was captured by guerrilla forces in late 1958 during Fidel Castro's revolution against Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar. | 2019-04-21T00:28:17 | http://cuba-villaclara.net/en/index.asp |
A complaint at the Constitutional Court has brought the ratification process in Germany – and with it the UPC – to a screeching halt. The reasons behind it are shrouded in mystery and in European patent circles speculation is rife.
No comment on the UPC case: the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) in Karlsruhe.
The Unified Patent Court has suffered many setbacks during the attempts to get it off the ground: the ECJ opinion 1/09, the lawsuits brought against the new court by Spain in Luxembourg and the Brexit vote. It seemed the patent court was always on the point of failure. But even the delay caused by the snap British election in June could not stop it. The UK has now resumed ratification; the final UPC law is set to be passed in September, thus bringing the process to a close.
This would have cleared the way for the UPC to open its doors in early 2018 – one year later than planned, but nevertheless it would be up-and-running. In Germany, everything seemed to be going according to plan: In early June the last of the three UPC laws was passed by both the lower house (Bundestag) and upper house (Bundesrat) and they were ready and waiting to be signed by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Instead, on 12th June Steinmeier suddenly put a stop to the ratification process. The news from Berlin shook the European patent world. Since Germany, like the UK, is one of the Member States that needs to ratify the Protocol on Provisional Application, the start date for the UPC once again seems a long way off.
And even now, the background to the complaint remains obscure. The only thing that is clear is that the Federal Constitutional Court asked Steinmeier not to sign the UPC laws until there was a ruling. On 31st March, a private person of unknown identity filed a constitutional complaint against the national implementation law and even the UPC Agreement itself (ref. 2 BvR 739/17). The latter had only just been passed by the German parliament. In addition, the complainant has applied for a temporary injunction.
However, the problem is the lack of transparency: The Federal Constitutional Court has not revealed any details about the plaintiff or, more significantly, the grounds for the complaint. Speculation in the patent community across Europe has reached fever pitch. For tactical reasons, Germany always wanted to be the last of the three major patent nations to ratify, so as to remain flexible in the face of any demands from smaller nations. Now it seems they will have no choice in the matter.
According to those involved, the steps taken by the Federal Constitutional Court and the President are standard practice in constitutional complaints against international agreements. How quickly Karlsruhe will rule on the complaint is unclear. Although a spokesperson for the court conceded there is a particular sense of urgency, she also insisted the matter is highly complex. Experts estimate Karlsruhe could rule on the urgent motion in four to six months. Technically, this would mean the UPC could still launch in early 2018.
Broß, however, sees things differently. “There is no urgency in this case. Because of Brexit, the Federal Constitutional Court can take its time. The outcome of the negotiations will need to be taken into consideration, because it will affect significant parts of the UPC that are based in London,” says Broß.
Broß, who is not only a constitutional judge but also a former patent judge, believes the EU patent and UPC to be incompatible with the German constitution. “Firstly, the Boards of Appeal at the European Patent Office lack independence. They are not an independent court,” says Broß. “Without the possibility for an ordinary court to review decisions, there is no effective legal protection.” This problem was overlooked, he argues, during the preparation of the German UPC laws.
In June 2016, the European Patent Organisation decided to reform the EPO’s Boards of Appeal but this, claims Broß, is unlikely to change anything. The reforms are already underway but Broß dismisses them as purely cosmetic “so long as the EPA President still holds all the threads”. Under German law, the Boards of Appeal are still not an independent court, argues Broß.
Controversially, there are five more constitutional complaints expressing the same grievance, JUVE has found. These are irrespective of the UPC (2 BvR 2480/10, 2 BvR 421/13, 2 BvR 756/16, 2 BvR 786/16) and the Federal Constitutional Court has announced its intention to rule on one of these cases this year. Interestingly, the rapporteur in these cases, Peter Huber, is also the rapporteur in this latest complaint against the UPC.
A second theory is that the constitutional complaint takes issue with voting behaviour in the Bundestag. German patent experts came to this conclusion because the complaint was filed shortly after the vote on the two main laws in Karlsruhe. The Bundestag passed the UPC laws with a simple majority but there is some debate as to whether a two-thirds majority ought to have been necessary.
Stop Sign Shocks the Patent World.
Since the news hit that the German ratification process has been stopped, patent experts have been trying to keep a level head.
Winfried Tilmann said of the situation, “I don’t see any indications that the Federal Constitutional Court might doubt the constitutionality of the relevant contracts and laws.” And with the way British ratification is plodding along, there is certainly no rush.
Still fighting for the UPC: Winfried Tilmann sees no indications that the UPC Agreement might be unconstitutional.
Konstantin Schallmoser from Preu Bohlig & Partner said, “There is no evidence that the Unified Patent Court is unconstitutional.” The question of constitutionality has been sufficiently discussed by the experts who conceived the court and Rules of Procedure, he argues. Furthermore, the European Court of Justice already commented on this in its rulings in the lawsuits brought by Spain against the EU patent (C-146/13 und C-147/13).
Apart from the reasons for the German constitutional complaint and the possible outcome, it is the name of the plaintiff that interests patent experts the most. The majority are putting their money on the complainant being a lawyer or patent attorney – if for no other reason, because of the complexity of the subject matter. Others suspect it could be an act of revenge from one of the few UPC opponents in Germany. | 2019-04-23T06:59:41 | https://www.juve-patent.com/news-and-stories/legal-commentary/black-box/ |

By combining tested product perception questions with key demographic and characteristic questions, it’s easy to discover key findings about how various constituencies view your product. Apply these insights to targeted marketing campaigns and turn data into results.
The best way to acquire new customers— and retain existing customers—is to keep your finger on the pulse of your market. Companies use product feedback surveys to monitor changes in their customers’ attitudes toward a particular product.
Product feedback surveys are a key component to understanding your audience and making the necessary decisions to help your product and your business succeed. Survey your target audience to learn the leading factors that influence a purchase, which product features/benefits are essential to success, how to evolve the product over time, and much more.
Ask potential consumers what they think about your new concept before you spend time and money developing it. The Product Feedback Survey helps you gain the necessary insight at every stage of development to determine if your new product is viable, plus the features your potential customers consider most important. | 2019-04-25T10:42:43 | https://www.sogosurvey.com/survey-templates/market-research/product-feedback-survey/ |
We Honor Veterans is a project of National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA). These groups have invited hospices throughout the country to join a pioneering program focused on respectful inquiry of, compassionate listening to, and grateful acknowledgment for our veteran clients and patients. By recognizing the unique needs of the veterans we serve, our staff at Redmond-Sisters Hospice is working to accompany and guide our local veterans and their families through their life stories and toward a more peaceful ending. We hope you will join us in our effort. Do you have questions or know a veteran who may need our assistance? Please call us at 541.548.7483.
At Redmond-Sisters Hospice, our main objective is to provide comfort and support at the end of life. Because we know that one out of every four dying Americans is a veteran, we are working hard to equip our hospice to meet the unique needs of our local veteran community.
As a result of our collaboration with the NHPCO, we have had the opportunity to learn how best to serve veterans through the challenges they may be facing from illness, isolation or traumatic life experience. By recognizing the unique challenges of each veteran patient, we are able to offer them the dignity and hero's welcome home that they deserve. | 2019-04-23T14:45:05 | http://www.redmondhospice.org/veterans-programs/ |

Ring by day. Pendant by night.
This piece of jewelry I played with the idea of a ring that can also be worn as a pendant. The secret is in the shank. It has cut outs to except a chain. Besides the functional challenge, the piece needed to have an interesting profile and top view at the same time. A spherical pearl fit the bill. I flush set a couple of diamonds and varied the surface treatment by stone wheeling the top edge. | 2019-04-22T06:16:28 | https://atlasbenchtalk.com/tag/pearl/ |
Discussion in 'Software Releases' started by ptitSeb, Feb 21, 2016.
A video of the gameplay on the Pandora from Ingroreis.
The game is best played with a mouse, but Nubs can be used (and so is the TouchScreen too).
Not compatible with preview save!
Attached is the diff for the Pandora version.
lordbobjones and FBnil like this.
Woahh this looks like a very nice Game.
I cannot wait to try this out. You are amazing ptitSeb!!!!
Awesome music... still learning how to control it. But so far I like the fact you can just touch the screen to shoot in that direction. saves aiming.
Very smooth on the 1Ghz.
New build, faster and more playable on the Pandora.
Good work on the ports, ptitSeb.
Is the source code for your changes available anywhere? You could post the sources on GitHub or somewhere like that.
You've said that the books are Open Source. They're not, they're commercial. If you could just take out the "OpenSources Books" bit, that would be cool. I just don't want there to be any confusion that the books are free when they're copyrighted*.
(* - the First Edition of "The Honour of the Knights" is available under Creative Commons, however the other books are copyrighted).
And I'll put here the changes I have done (not much, and mainly Pandora specific for the keymap).
And welcome @stephenjsweeney and thank you for this game!
@ingoreis : thank you for the video, I've put it in first post and on the repo.
New build on the repo, based on new version. The game seem vaster, and is also more difficult.
But it's not compatible with previous saves, you'll have to start over.
Also,@stephenjsweeney (and other), I have attached the diff or the Pandora port in the first post.
I've taken a look at the diff, and there are far fewer tweaks than I was expecting. I'll try and incorporate some of those into the main code (will probably create a control config so that WASD isn't hard coded, too).
Hmm, shame the save games weren't compatible. I'll make an effort to ensure v0.5 saves work with v0.6.
Thanks @stephenjsweeney . I try to make as few changes as possible to stay closer to the author work. I've just made a few optim changes (the drawCircle made the Galactic map smooth even when many system are "blinking"), and the keymap mainly.
the v0.4 -> v0.5, I got a segfault try to continu, so I start over. I was expecting that behavour anyway. If I understand well, the whole scenario has been reworked, so even if it was compatible, the previously done missions would have changed and should be redone anyway. Compatibility is intersting only if the story is expanded, and existing mission has not changed much.
And by the way, congrats for your game, it's already really polished and plays well!
New release on the repo. It's now v1.0, so basicaly final version with everything inside! | 2019-04-19T22:46:18 | https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/the-battle-for-the-solar-system-the-pandoran-war.76999/ |
Once you’ve located an area, or set of records, you can find out what information we have by either clicking the point on the map or the record in the database. This brings up a pop up window that shows the full details for that HER record – including what is known and what the origin of this information is. Many of the sources listed on an HER record can be viewed at the History Centre in Chippenham if you want to visit, or may even be available in your local library, university or online.
You’ll also notice that the website highlights records in the database and pulses the location point on the map so you never get lost! But once you are ready to look at something else you simply need to hit the ‘Clear Search’ box and you can delve into something else of interest.
So please do have a go and see what you can find on the HER and let us know what you think. It may be in the future there’ll be even more search options for you to enjoy, and the number of records we have in the database is always growing – so it’s always worth checking back in future. | 2019-04-24T21:51:40 | http://wshc.eu/blog/item/a-new-website-for-archaeology.html |
Based on research from more than 10,000 surveys from children and parents of divorce, Collateral Damage presents parents with an overview of the negative impact that divorce has on their children and offers ways to better serve their needs at this critical time. Approximately fifty percent of marriages in the United State fail. Add to that the increasing number of couples who never marry, have children together, and later go their separate ways. In all of these scenarios, children suffer greatly—often in silence, as parents do not know how to effectively guide their kids. When the sorrow and emotional issues of children are not addressed, the cycle of divorce is likely to continue for them and in generations that follow. In addition, while children may appear to be resilient and adjusting, without proper support children of divorce are more prone to drug and alcohol abuse, criminal behavior, mental and physical illness, and suicide. How can parents manage their own hurt, shock, anger, and despair so that they can provide their children with what they need? While Collateral Damage does not advocate divorce, it does sound a wakeup call for parents. It identifies the landmines inherent in the dangerous terrain of divorce and equips them to help their children not to feel abandoned or unheard. Topics covered include: Building the family—not losing itTuning into your kidsStabilizing childhoodMaintaining parent/child rolesAvoiding the parenting handoffKeeping kids out of the war zoneInstilling trustKeeping open lines of communicationAttuning to guiding, spiritual resources The unfortunate failure of a marriage does not mean the end of the family. Providing a stable, supportive, healthy relationship with your child demonstrates what a loving relationship looks like, better preparing them for intimate relationships and marriage as an adult. | 2019-04-19T14:48:59 | https://www.storytel.com/nl/nl/books/617176-Collateral-Damage |

Then keep that “why” in mind for those times when you will hit rough challenges because you will face challenges. It's a given! How you react to the challenges will make or break your business. If you don't feel that you can be committed, have a why, and stay on target as you grow your business then this just might not be for you.
4. Is it important to optimize my social media?
To answer this question, it's important to explain what “optimization” looks like when it comes to social media. When I talk about “optimization” I'm referring to methods and plans that you can use to promote your business so that you bring awareness to your product or services or brand online. When you optimize your social media, you are taking action to make your business findable in Search. Along with creating attractive content that entices your target customers to take action and make a purchase with you.

Agile is not just a methodology; it’s a mindset. Several other methods and frameworks are based on the Agile manifesto; two of the most widely known are Scrum and SAFe.
Agile thinking is not really about project management but product management. One essential part of the definition of a project is that it has defined start and end dates. Agile methods work best when you establish a cadence of iterations released over a more extended period, as with long-term software development. However, a typical project is completed long before the team gets the chance to settle into a cadence.
A project isn’t Agile just because you display the Agile terminology. We’ve seen projects advertised as Agile when in reality they merely divide the usual waterfall steps into multiple iterations. The project implementation sequences are still defined regarding requirements, design, configuration, testing, and production release—and that isn’t Agile. Agile produces working software products at each iteration, not only at the very end. You define/develop the requirements and design as you go along.
A genuinely Agile-driven process is less prone to errors and rework because of its collaborative approach, and all project stakeholders are involved. Errors are caught at the early stages, long before they result in an expensive rework. However, Agile requires more resource commitment from SMEs and stakeholders—not just the Product Owner. Everyone needs to review work and provide input and feedback during the entire delivery process.
Do not force your project to adopt Agile just because it’s the “in” thing to do. Some projects can’t be forced to adopt Agile, and if your project must follow a rigid sequence of requirements, design, and so forth, and not flexible to adapt to changing needs, then Agile might not be suitable.
Some projects lend themselves to an Agile/Waterfall hybrid approach. The important thing is to separate project deliverables into two parts — one that is a waterfall (traditional software development lifecycle) in approach and another that’s Agile. This hybrid approach would work well if the Traditional SDLC method is used to establish the infrastructure for deploying a new solution, then try an Agile approach for the iterative development and the necessary configurations.
All projects can benefit from the Agile philosophy. Whether it is relating to software development or not, there are multiple elements of the Agile manifesto that will add value to any project.
Business Leadership support is vital to maintaining an Agile culture; You need to ensure that you don’t go through the motions to satisfy management. To meet with real success, it’s essential that everyone embrace the Agile mindset including senior leadership.
Please expect more in future blog posts, but I do hope that you and your organization take full advantage of what Agile philosophy and Agile software development approach have to offer.
At WayMaker Digital, we help organizations to deliver their projects while adopting the Agile culture across the business. Our core specialties include Requirements Analysis, Business Process Automation, and establishing an Agile Project Delivery cadence that’s repeatable and sustainable for business customers.

A rainbow threw up on my room...and I like it.
I absolutely love and simultaneously dread setting up my classroom for the new school year. I love starting fresh and coming up with new ideas to help my classroom operate more efficiently but it is also a lot of hard work and very time consuming.
Some time saving tips: laminate posters, string together flags and pennants so you only have to use a couple of staples, cover entire walls with paper (top of the ceiling -to the floor) it makes the room look larger, save your borders every year (they are pricy!), go to Allposters.com when they have sales or look in their clearance for inexpensive posters (sometimes only a dollar!) and invest in a staple gun (best investment EVER).
Keep rules short and sweet, but put them in a VERY visible location. I have this at the front of the room next to the screen of the projector. The little pockets are for Homework/ Tardy Cards for each class to stay organized. I just cut a manila folder in half and stapled the sides.
College pennants are expensive so a great alternative is to find a color printer (beg an administrator) and print images of college's logos and glue to colored pieces of paper and presto...college pendants!
Showcase where you went/go to college. I currently attend USC so the helmet (a gift from my husband...he knows me so well) serves two purposes: 1) To teach about the Roman Empire/ Legion Armies and 2) USC Trojan mascot representing!

It was really, really hot today, in that unpleasant Phoenix-area way that is, thankfully, unusual here in Tucson. For some reason, I've felt a compulsion during this year's heat waves to spend meaningful time outside. I avoid the noonday sun, obviously, but do try to go without air conditioning long enough that reentering its artificiality feels suitably artificial. This practice came in handy today when New Silver's vents started blowing the sort of air that industrial fans blow in auto repair facilities.
Because I wanted to stay in extreme temperature shape, I even spent ninety minutes in the garage this evening -- the thermometer read 108 when I started -- sorting through what I charitably refer to as "my archives" and then assembling a rolling cart for hanging file folders without any help at all. This may not seem like a big deal to you. But if you knew how easy it was to lose control of that sort of undertaking in the Nicolini-Bertsch household, where she-of-impossibly-high-standards takes command at the slightest provocation, you would be impressed with my autonomy and stealth. I even had to fetch the toolbox!
Better still, the cart I put together came from a box I'd been moving around since 1997. Back then I bought another cart, which Kim assembled, and decided that it was so handy that I purchased a back-up. For years I've been trying to keep the box out of Kim's line of vision, fearful that she would insist I finally donate it to Goodwill. When she has seen it and, understandably, informed me that my likelihood of ever using it was miniscule, I've responded that I was saving it for the day when I would suddenly turn its potential energy into actual utility.
Well, guess what? Today is that day! It now sits handsomely in the garage, full of various empty file folders that I will soon deploy in my reorganization of my home office. Things are changing around here. I'm taking the Allen wrench by the hand. I'm going to screw things into place. If you're nice to me, I might even let you watch.
Oh Honey, I am soooo proud of you. I will remember this day forever. You're a Big Boy now. You know what Santa's bringing you for Christmas, don't you? Your very own set of Craftsman Power Tools. I think you're ready for them now. I really do.
It must be all that training in tool management you've been giving me lately. . .
very audible laughing heard from this side of the lake.

The Secretary of State has ruled that controversial plans to demolish nearly 200 homes as part of a Pathfinder clearance project in the Welsh Streets area of Liverpool should be subject to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
The council will now be required to submit a new, full, planning application for demolition. Permitted development rights - which the council was using to fast-track demolition - have been suspended and the controversial plans will now be subject to the full scrutiny of the EIA process. Most importantly, the council will now be required to properly examine alternatives to demolition, including renovation and refurbishment, something that it has so far refused to do.
The houses in the Welsh Streets area of Liverpool were built by, and for, Welsh artisan immigrants in the 19th century. One of the houses condemned under the council’s plans is 9 Madryn Street, the birthplace and childhood home (until he was 3 years old) of Beatles’ drummer Ringo Starr.
The decision, which follows SAVE’s recent Court of Appeal victory on demolition and EIA, has huge implications for mass house clearance projects planned under the now defunct Housing Market Renewal (Pathfinder) programme. With permitted development rights suspended under EIA, it will be possible for local people and other objectors to scrutinise plans and to challenge the principle of demolition, rather than simply the method of demolition.
Planning specialist and Pathfinder resident Jonathan Brown of Merseyside Civic Society says: ‘It has been obscene to see authorities acquire, evict, devalue and demolish thousands of Victorian terraced houses without even submitting a full planning application, simply so the land they stand on can be handed to development driven quangos for private profit. | 2019-04-21T02:14:06 | https://www.savebritainsheritage.org/news/item/198/Pickles-Deals-Huge-Blow-to-Welsh-Streets-Demolition-Plans |
Action RPG Shooter 2017-09-02 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the highly anticipated sequel in the Deus Ex franchise. The game is very similar to its predecessors in many ways - you still get to make important, story-changing decisions, meet some interesting characters, have fun with a wide range of augments, and enjoy an amazing stealth-based gameplay. That said, it does have some unique aspects like overloading your augs, though personally, I don't bother to use it; and also the revamped hacking system. I also like the game's loading screen when you're supposedly travelling from one location to another. It's a very nice touch.
However, many fans are rather disappointed with the story and side missions in this game. Some are pretty good and well-fleshed out admittedly, but many of them seem to not have any effect on the game or the storyline itself... like mere fillers. Most of the characters that you meet in this game is a lot less important than before as well. | 2019-04-18T16:46:40 | https://www.findgameslike.com/deus_ex_mankind_divided |

Behind the scenes personnel at the club have been working hard to seek ways improvements can be made and increase our offerings to the local community.
Yesterday (01 March) the club received confirmation that we have been accepted by Northamptonshire FA to host the local SSE Wildcats Centre.
“The Football Association and SSE have teamed up to launch a new initiative in 2017, SSE Wildcats, designed to inspire girls aged between 5-11 to be involved in the sport.
The SSE Wildcats club will be run in conjunction with local County FAs, utilising our qualified coaches and local facilities we can offer girls a location nearby where they can get involved. The coaches will soon be attending St George’s Park where they will be trained in delivering tailored sessions to meet the needs of the girls no matter what football experience they have.
This is a leap forward for the club and for girls football in Rothwell, Desborough and surrounding areas. We hope to increase participation in girls football in conjunction with the Football Association.
The centre will open in April 2018 and further information will be release in due course so keep an eye on our social media in the coming weeks! | 2019-04-18T15:26:01 | http://fcaztecyouth.co.uk/News/story/fc-aztec-to-host-sse-wildcats-centre |

In order to determine whether or not depot blood cells in the bone marrow are mobilized into the circulating blood at acute hemorrhage, as does the depot blood in other blood depot organs. Acute bleeding was applied to a rabbit and the change in hemogram of V. untricia femoris was observed. Secondly, an acute bleeding was applied to a rabbit of which the reticuloendothelial system was blocked with India ink, to observe how the blood finding of V. nutricia femoris will be effected and to compare this result with that of the first experiment. The findings are as follows: 1) When the rabbit was bled to the extent of 15 to 20cc per Kgm., the rate of decrease of red blood cells in the V. nutricia femoris was much less than that in the corresponding A. femoralis. Not only the number did not decrease, but it increased, reaching the peak 1 to 2 hours after the bleeding. Following the increase, however, the number gradually decreases until it becomes almost the same as the number of blood cells in the A. femoralis. The increase of white blood cells is much more rapid and distinct than the rate of increase of the corresponding A. femoralis blood; it marks the same peak as the red blood cell system 1 to 1 and a half hour after the bleeding. Such an increase of blood cells in V. nutricia femoris is due to the mobilization of marrow depot blood cells. From this, the bone marrow may be called one of the blood cell depot organs, having much significance in supplying blood cells to the blood circulation in case of acute hemorrhage. 2) On the other hand, no such blood cell mobolization can be seen when the rabbit with its reticuloendothelial system blocked with India ink is bled. Therefore, it is concluded that the sound functioning of the reticuloendothelial system is essential for the mobilization of bone marrow blood cells. 3) A marked contraction of the nutricia vessels was observed immediately after the bleeding, for both the non-treated rabbit and the rabbit with its reticuloendothelial system blocked with India ink. Though the contraction began to recover 30 to 60 minutes after the bleeding, the blood vessel did not recover its original diameter of before the bleeding, at least until the termination of the experiment. | 2019-04-19T20:24:43 | http://ousar.lib.okayama-u.ac.jp/ja/journal/joma/66/12/article/43098 |

"... I have sent (?) you ... pairs of socks from Sattua, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants, two pairs of sandals ... Greet ...ndes, Elpis, Iu..., ...enus, Tetricus and all your messmates with whom I pray that you live in the greatest good fortune."
2 The obvious restoration is mise]ram (so CEL).
3 At the start tri]/a (so CEL) is impossible. t is very good and i is quite promising for the next letter; this suggests uigin]/ti, a large quantity but not all necessarily for the use of one person. We suggest that Sattua is best understood as a personal name and note the brand Sattuo on a leather patch (VRR II, 93 no.9.i). Fatua is attested as a personal name in Lusitania (LC 264) but we do not think Fattua a preferable reading. paria is no doubt to be supplied after the break.
5 The double mention of the item is no doubt due to the fact that the second pair of sandals came from someone else (so CEL).
1 salutare .[, ed. pr. We now think that saluta a me is a more plausible reading; the final trace is exiguous.
2 At the end Pu[ is also possible.

The Apollo Institutes of Transplant are pioneers of transplantation in India. From India's first successful liver transplant to the most complex multi-organ transplants, Apollo Hospitals has had several definitive milestones in the field. The Apollo Institutes of Transplant is a centre of excellence that is not just at par with the best in the world, but is setting the benchmarks of clinical excellence in organ transplant. This achievement is a result of relentless commitment and focus.
Every day the team of champions at Apollo Institutes of Transplant helps someone achieve a new start; a new shot at life. There is no better example of the magic of hope, the miracle of medicine.
Ashok is a priest and lives in southern India. He had a chronic cardiac ailment that led to an end-state lung disorder. When he reached Apollo Hospitals, the team at the Apollo Institutes of Transplant told him that his best and only real chance was a Heart and Double-Lung transplant. After 8 challenging hours of surgery and a few days to recuperate, Mr. Ashok was back to the pulpit; back to spreading the word of God.
Param was diabetic for 21 years. That is over two decades of total dependence on Insulin. Things got even worse when she was diagnosed with end-state renal disease. She came to Apollo Hospitals and consulted with a team of experts. A revolutionary simultaneous Kidneys and Pancreas Transplant was recommended, and she agreed. The complex procedure took 12 hours to complete and was successful. Today Param is healthy, diabetes-free and finally free from the dreaded daily needle. | 2019-04-20T18:54:52 | https://www.apollohospitals.com/departments/transplantation/transplants-decoded/the-busiest-solid-organ-transplant-program-in-the-world |
Mike Huckabee reacted Sunday on "Fox & Friends" to former Secretary of State John Kerry holding private meetings with Iranian officials.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry is being slammed for conducting shadow diplomacy with Iran after admitting to multiple meetings with Iranian officials behind the backs of Trump administration officials -- including over the scrapped nuclear deal.
An administration official on Thursday told Fox News Kerry’s meetings are "shameful," pointing out what Iranian-backed militias are doing to kill and injure people in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
Other Republicans suggested it may not even be legal.
"John Kerry is the only guy I know who wants to bring back the Edsel, MySpace and other failed enterprises," Huckabee (R-Ark.) remarked. "What he is doing is not funny."
Huckabee said Kerry could be suited for the first successful prosecution of the Logan Act of 1799, which prohibits conducting unauthorized diplomacy with governments in dispute with the United States.
The act's name refers to a 1798 incident in which Philadelphia farmer George Logan traveled to France, outside the purview of President John Adams, to try to avoid war during a time of tension over merchant shipping.
Huckabee said Kerry is violating the "sense of protocol" for former U.S. diplomats, and that he is effectively "negotiating secretly with a foreign government [and] the largest terror sponsor in the world."
Kerry responded to previous criticism from President Trump, comparing his demeanor to a teenage girl.
Some Democrats floated the idea of prosecuting former Trump National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn [Ret.] under the Logan Act, in regard to allegations surrounding his contact with Russians. | 2019-04-23T18:09:07 | https://insider.foxnews.com/2018/09/16/mike-huckabee-says-john-kerry-could-be-first-logan-act-conviction |

Use trilinear or anisotropic filtering on textures. See Textures in the Unity Manual for more information.
Use mesh-based occlusion culling (see Occlusion Culling in the Unity Manual).
Always use the Forward Rendering path (see Forward Rendering Path Details in the Unity Manual).
Enable Use Recommended MSAA Levels in OVRManager (see OVRManager for more information). Generally, the recommended MSAA level is 4x if you don’t plan to enable Use Recommended MSAA Level.

Lewisham’s leading scrutiny councillor and board member of the Phoenix Community Housing Co-op, Alan Hall has hailed the approaching launch of a new 60-apartment ‘extra-care’ complex as the future of housing for the elderly.
The project came a step nearer this week with the award of the contract to run the homes going to Notting Hill Housing Association.
Hazelhurst Court built by Phoenix Community Housing in partnership with Lewisham Council and the Mayor of London is an extra-care building providing 60 one and two-bedroom flats allowing older people to enjoy facilities for independent living with staff on site.
Phoenix board member and local councillor Alan Hall said: “Providing high quality, well designed homes for older residents with care needs will allow local residents to stay independent. | 2019-04-23T10:26:03 | https://alanhall.org.uk/2017/05/11/lewisham-housing-co-op-shows-the-future-of-independent-living-for-older-people/ |

Choosing to have LASIK surgery in San Diego can be a life-changing decision and should be weighed heavily. Thankfully, when you are researching this procedure, you can consult with San Diego LASIK surgery centers that will warn you of both the benefits and risks of the surgery, one of which is the possibility of dry eye.
If you already suffer from dry eye, LASIK surgery can exacerbate the problem. San Diego LASIK eye surgery doctors can advise you that in the months right after the procedure is done, you may experience the worst dry eye you have ever had in your life. The symptoms of dry eye can be quite annoying and painful and include a scratchy and itchy feeling, as well as an accumulation of mucus in the corner of the eyes that manifests into the crusty feeling people often wake with in the mornings. And, believe it or not, excessive tears are also caused when suffering from dry eye. This may seem like an oxymoron, but when the eye does not get enough moisture, the constant irritation in the eye can cause them to water to a point that can become debilitating. When discussing the possibility of dry eye with a doctor in your San Diego LASIK eye surgery center, he or she will probably advise you to use artificial tears in the weeks following your surgery.
Your San Diego LASIK doctor will explain to you how the LASIK procedure is performed and how it leads to dry eye. Basically, a flap is created on the cornea during the surgery and sometimes nerves in the cornea may become severed during this process. This can cause temporary dry eye in many patients and actually cause blurry vision. Now, this may come as a surprise and can also be quite alarming when this surgery is touted to give perfect vision. You may see clearer than you have in years at one moment, and then your vision will be clouded when the tears begin. You may be tempted to call your doctor, but you will also have to remind yourself this was one of the side effects you were warned about. Using artificial tears your San Diego LASIK surgery doctor prescribed for you can alleviate symptoms. You may also be prescribed a medication that can stimulate your natural tear ducts, which will moisturize your eyes and cause them to not feel as heavy and sore.
LASIK eye surgery has become one of the most popular elective procedures of the 21st century. It serves both a cosmetic and medical purpose, as patients will be able to see better than they could ever remember and be free of the cumbersomeness of glasses or contacts in order to see clearly. What many do not realize is that the technology for this surgery has been in development for nearly a century.
When you choose to have this procedure at our San Diego LASIK facility, know you are being treated with proven technology and equipment that has been in development for many years and has been tried, tested and approved by the FDA. The original concept of LASIK surgery was first conceived at the start of the 20th century, as new knowledge about the workings of the eye was discovered. In the 1970s, the ideas were put to work after a doctor in Russia treated an injured eye by just removing a portion of the eye’s outer service. LASIK development was in full force after that.
It was 1987 when LASIK first became commercially available in the US and since then countless San Diego LASIK surgery patients have reported clear vision results after undergoing the procedure. Experienced ophthalmologists have been performing LASIK surgery in San Diego for years using the most updated LASIK surgery techniques and technology available. Different methods of performing this surgery include blade and non-blade techniques. A blade can be used to cut the flap in the eye that is imperative to LASIK in San Diego and anywhere else, or a second laser can be used to do the same thing and have the same result. This is often up to the discretion of your San Diego LASIK eye surgery center. Other types of LASIK are called Wavefront and Epi-LASIK.
The results of this type of surgery have been life-changing for many people. Gone are the days of feeling awkward in glasses or soaking contact lenses in solution each night before bed. Some patients report seeing better than they ever did with glasses or contacts after their LASIK procedure is done. Of course, the results will not be immediate as your eyes will be blurry just after the surgery is complete. But, the next day you will literally have a whole new outlook on life as the world is finally clear and crisp. This technology that began as just a concept nearly 100 years ago has improved the lives of millions of people and can improve your life as well. Call your San Diego LASIK center today to find out how.
One of the many things that keeps people from deciding to have LASIK surgery performed are the cost factors involved. LASIK is not an inexpensive procedure, and is also not covered by most insurance plans because it is often considered cosmetic and not medically necessary. Also, there is no set price for the procedure as different people have different degrees of damage to their vision. So, between that and the different types of LASIK procedures, costs for LASIK surgery in San Diego can vary greatly.
When you go for your initial consultation with a San Diego LASIK center, you will learn all the cost variables and the different LASIK techniques that there are to choose from. Depending on what San Diego LASIK eye surgery doctor you choose and how much experience he and his practice have with this procedure, prices can have a large range. It can run anywhere from about $499 per eye to well over $2,000 per eye. The low quote is often found on LASIK advertisements and very rarely ends up being the true cost. A price of $499 per eye is usually for the most basic eye issues and often is only for the surgery itself and nothing else.
Most cost quotes that are higher include both pre-op and post-op visits, as well as the procedure itself, which can be performed with a variety of different types of lasers, as LASIK technology is constantly changing and evolving. You can often feel confident with a higher quote because you know you will be getting the best possible care with experienced doctors. San Diego LASIK surgery doctors are at the top of their field and well sort the cost of getting the best possible outcome.
Other things that factor into the cost of LASIK surgery in San Diego and other parts of the country are different custom procedures that are now offered. The more specialized the surgery, the more costly it can end up being. While the price of LASIK surgery may seem daunting to many, testimonials show that it is often well worth the money spent.
Finding the right doctor to perform your LASIK surgery procedure is of the utmost importance when you decide to take this life-changing step. There are several factors you should consider when choosing the right San Diego LASIK eye surgery center and doctor, and often the decision is nothing but a personal choice regarding whose hands you feel most comfortable putting your precious gift of vision into.
First and foremost, how experienced is any San Diego LASIK doctor you are considering? Knowing how many of these procedures he or she has performed, as well as their success rate with the surgery, can help you make an educated decision on whether this ophthalmologist is the right one for you. You can start your search by asking around. Odds are you know someone who has had LASIK surgery in San Diego, as the procedure has become ultra-popular in this first part of recent times. Some people may report horror stories, but odds are your friends or acquaintances will be amazed at how they can see post-LASIK and rave about how well everything went for them from the moment they went for their first LASIK consultation.
When you do go for you initial consultation after deciding to undergo LASIK in San Diego, your doctor may ask you as many questions as you ask him or her. The doctor will want to know if you are a right candidate for the procedure, as not everyone’s eye problems can be corrected with LASIK. For example, if your nearsightedness is too severe, LASIK might not work for you like it works for others. Once the doctor has decided you are a perfect candidate, look around his office. Does he have a nice staff? Do patients seem to be rushed? Running the office like an assembly line can be a red flag, but seeing patients treated like individuals who get the utmost care should give you a positive feeling about the practice.
Of course, you also need to take cost considerations into mind, but never choose your surgeon based on cost alone. Extremely low prices may be too good to be true and often are. Remember the old adage, you get what you pay for and what you want to get with LASIK surgery is outstanding vision after years of glasses dependency. Payment plans through third party creditors are offered, but you need to make sure you can afford the monthly payments before signing any paperwork.
Do not trust your eyes to just anyone. Thoroughly research both LASIK and San Diego LASIK doctors before taking the plunge into this procedure. So, call us today and set yourself on your way to a positive life-improving choice.
Not everyone with vision problems is a candidate for LASIK surgery. This procedure is usually performed on people who have astigmatism, are nearsighted or are farsighted. When consulting with your San Diego LASIK doctor, he or she will examine you carefully and also interview you in order to learn if the LASIK procedure is right for you and also what LASIK procedure you should have performed, as there are several.
First, when having LASIK surgery in San Diego or anywhere in the country, you must be 18 years of age or older. This is because LASIK should only be performed on people whose eyes have fully matured and the general consensus is this will happen by age 18. You need to be free of any eye ailments or infections for at least one year. If you are pregnant or nursing, you are also not a good LASIK candidate, but you can consult with your San Diego LASIK eye surgery center again post-partum or after you have finished nursing your child. You also cannot have any autoimmune disease and no amount of scarring can be found on the cornea upon your consultation examination.
Once it has been decided that you are a good candidate for LASIK in San Diego, your next step will be finding just the right doctor to perform the procedure. Our top-notch San Diego LASIK surgery center can match you with just the right doctor to suit your needs. This doctor will take you through the steps of the surgery and also be who you consult with on the required follow up visits to make sure the procedure met your expectations and that your eyes are healing as well as possible. Choosing a LASIK surgery center and doctor with the best qualifications can make the difference between a failed procedure and an effective one. After all, this is your vision that you are putting at risk and you would not want to trust such a precious gift to just anybody. If LASIK surgery is performed correctly, the odds are a whole new world of visual wonder will open up to you and you’ll find that you will see better than you have in years, and possibly better than you did when you were burdened by glasses or contact lenses.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States. In one year, more than one million people undergo cataract surgery in the hopes of having clear vision restored. And indeed, with the success rate for this surgery, the odds are they will. However, cataract surgery in San Diego is still surgery, and as with any operation, there is a recovery period with strict instructions that must be adhered to.
Immediately following San Diego cataract surgery, you will not see clearly. After all, your eye or eyes have just been through a traumatic experience and need time to heal. Although the surgery is done on a outpatient basis and you can go home soon after, it will not be safe for you to drive so you must make sure you have already arranged for a ride home from the surgery center. The next day, you will have a follow up visit with your doctor to make sure there are no immediate complications. And actually, you will have several follow up visits over the next few weeks and months to make sure your eyes and vision are healing correctly.
Home care is also of the utmost importance. Remember to wear the large dark sunglasses that your doctor gave you right after your San Diego cataract eye surgery to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Also, avoid any makeup near the eyes, as well as harsh creams, lotions or perfumes. Any kind of debris from these items can cause infection, which you most certainly want to avoid. You will also be prescribed prescription antibiotic eyedrops. Take these exactly as directed and do not miss a dose. You may feel fine, but infection is a possibility when any kind of surgery is performed, even if you do make sure no cosmetics are near your eyes. Antibiotics can help you avoid an unwanted infection. And, if you need to touch your eyes, make sure you do so with thoroughly clean hands. All of these measure help prevent infections. They may not be foolproof, but they do lessen the odds.
In a few weeks, you will find your vision has improved immensely and it will continue to improve more in the coming months. Your recovery will be monitored by your doctor, and once your vision has proven to have stabilized, if you had worn glasses before, you will be examined and fit for a new prescription. What you thought may be blurred vision for the rest of your life, has finally become clear.
Cataracts are almost an expected part of aging and indeed, this eye disease affects millions of people over the age of 60 every year. Surgery to have cataracts removed is the only option for fixing this ailment, although not everyone chooses to do so. Still, when people understand the facts about cataracts and what causes them, it may make cataract surgery in San Diego less daunting.
First, it is important to understand some basic facts about the make up of the eye. Water and protein are the two basic things that the eye is comprised of. Water keeps the eye moisturized, while the protein helps keep clarity on the lens so we see more clearly. As we age, these proteins change and lead to cloudiness on the lens. This is a slow and gradual process that is barely noticed—if at all—while it is happening, but eventually this protein change and breakdown becomes what are known as cataracts and clear vision seems to be a thing of the past. Now, in some rare cases babies might be born with broken down eye proteins, but in most cases it is just a result of the body’s natural aging process.
Like many ailments, outside factors can bring them on as well. While we cannot slow down aging and naturally happens to our eyes, we are able to speed up the occurrence of cataracts with lifestyle choices. Statistics have shown those who smoke cigarettes or expose themselves to excessive UV rays over a long period of time are more apt to develop cataracts and may even develop them at an earlier age. Of course, some outside causes cannot be helped, and these included suffering from diabetes and having to take steroidal medication for some health conditions.
When cataracts do develop, they are characterized by poor vision. It is almost like seeing through a very dirty windshield that no amount of cleaning will help. Some people are able to accept this and live with it, while others choose to seek out help. Once cataracts are diagnosed, San Diego cataract surgery is usually recommended, although not completely necessary as cataracts do not do damage to the overall health of the eye. Some people know they will need to have San Diego cataract eye surgery somewhere down the line, but may choose to wait until the cataracts become a nuisance or too much to bear. More extreme cases can not only cause vision impairment, but also cause pain. If you think you are suffering from cataracts, take the first step to getting help and call us today. | 2019-04-21T18:07:44 | https://www.lasiksandiegoeye.com/author/eyedoc71 |

On November 10th we celebrate World KC Day, a national awareness day sponsored by the National Keratoconus Foundation. This day is dedicated to raise awareness about keratoconus (KC), as well as to support and advocate for those living with KC.
Keratoconus, often abbreviated to “KC”, is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins causing a cone-like bulge to develop. This results in significant visual impairment.
Who is the National Keratoconus Foundation?
The National Keratoconus Foundation (NKCF) is an educational program of The Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at UC Irvine.
The publication and circulation of literature and seminars.
Through the organization of keratoconus patients and eye care professionals on a local level for the purpose of mutual dialog and support.
Raising funds to support scientific research into the causes, treatment and possible cure of keratoconus.
Visit our website at www.nkcf.org for more information.
Hello and let me introduce myself. I am a 56 year old woman who was diagnosed with Kerataconus back in 1975. My optometrist was quick to send me to the University of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario Canada and a wonderful Ophthalmologist named Dr. Callendar. I was fitted with hard lenses but the prognosis back then, was a little scary. We were told that I could lose my sight and at 15, it didn’t really sink in. The adults were worried but as a teenager I wasn’t. **Read Janes touching story in Humans of Keratoconus.
I think this is a pretty good example of the early stages of Keratoconus!
Dr. Anita Miedziak from the Princeton Eye group with a patient.
still wearing Rose k lenses.
I was diagnosed with keratoconus when I was 29 the year was 2009 and I thought it was the end of the world! At the time the Doctor I was seeing gave me little to no hope, said there was no cure and I would eventually lose most if not all my vision. I was only 29 not married no kids and I was practically going blind…It was hard but i had vome to terms with it tnis was my life. I decided to enjoy the little vision I did have for whatever time I would have it. Time went on vision got worse and grew into a depression. My days consisted of going to work and coming home to sleep….gained weight and continued to get depressed. Thankfully I have a great group of friends and family who didn’t let me give up, and have supported me every step of the way! One of my friends fathers is part of the Lions Club of Wolcott, Connecticut, she told him my story. Her father sent out a mass email to other Lions Club members….within minutes I had an appointment at Yale New Haven Eye Center. I saw 2 different Doctors and they saw me at no charge. Although my Keratoconus is advance and at some point I will need corneal transplant, right now my vision is pretty stable with contacts. I have been trough a few different pairs as my vision has change and I also had Acute Hydrops, i could not be any happier with my vision and Yale Eye Center. Keratoconus is a part me but it no longer defines me nor hinders me! There is hope. The picture I have attached is from 2014 when I had Acute Hydrops. The road to recovery from it has been long as I still have a lot of scarring but i did gain most of my vision back.
I’ve been diagnosed with bilateral KC for 20 years now while in basic training. I’ve been through a gamut of GP hard lenses over the years in Order to keep me working as a nurse. This picture is me this morning after 2 sixteen hour shift. It’s a killer on the eyes, but I’m thankful that I can still practice safely doing what I love. Thanks to having a very close ophthalmic relationship with my optometrist. Let’s keep education and research going to improve our quality of life.
I’ve been KCer since 1978 and have had transplants to both eyes. I bless the souls of my two cornea donors every day!
7 years since diagnosis! In the past few years, the online KC community has changed my life for the better and provided me with so much support. KC is a relatively rare disease, so the community really comes together to support each other and share resources about treatment, insurance and more.
I’m a firefighter in Providence,RI. I think that I might be a good representative to firefighters that have KC. I have the disease and I still perform my job at a very high level as a technical rescue specialist. I could have retired with a disability pension since I’m legally blind in my right eye, but that wasn’t acceptable to me. *read Dan’s incredible rescue story in Humans of Keratoconus.
Living with kc and smile. Thanks Lord. Kc grade 3 and 4 in my two eyes .
Diagnosed 1998 no surgery needed so far. Still wear RGP lenses.
without my opticians patience & determination I wouldn’t have been able to focus on my son’s being born, my wife on my wedding day, keep my job, drive, watch t.v…. the list is endless, I owe him my life! I remember these priceless things when I’m having bad lens days, sensitive to sun light, tears streaming down my face, dry irritation, it’s these moments I remember I have a ball ache of a disease that troubles other worse than me. I think about the people with no sight, no lens correction ability and I just crack on with life, just grateful that I haven’t got it as bad as those who have it worse than me, never thinking about those with perfect sight and no bad lens days!
Hi, I’m Thai. I have known that I have keratoconus on both eyes for 15 years. I’m using a ferrara ring in my left eye but got transplanted cornea on my right eye. | 2019-04-22T21:58:50 | https://worldkcday.com/2016/09/30/world-kc-day/ |
Corstorphine Community Centre and Dr Elaine Smith (Clinical Psychologist, Corstorphine Psychology Services) are delighted to bring a FREE community screening of the Resilience Documentary.
This film focuses on the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - now deemed to be one of the principal causes of serious mental and physical health conditions. It is an engaging and moving documentary.
We invite members of the community who are involved in working with young people (birth to adolescence). We believe that this film will have relevance across professions. A special invite is also extended to the voluntary sector.
Tickets are limited to 2 per organisation to ensure we can reach as many organisations as possible. Please contact us if you have a request for more staff - we will consider requests if there are special circumstances.
Some of you may be aware that Scotland is leading an ACE aware movement. This is your chance to become involved and think about how our community can contribute.
We look forward to seeing you and making our Corstorphine community more ACE aware. | 2019-04-21T21:07:46 | https://www.eventbrite.com/e/resilience-screening-understanding-adverse-childhood-experiences-aces-in-our-community-tickets-49155518479?aff=eac2 |

Sony has updated the PlayStation Store listings for three old PS3 games, indicating that the online functionality will be going offline on this month. The servers for Warhawk will be shutdown first, which will go offline on 15th October 2018, followed by PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Twisted Metal on 25th October 2018.
Multi-player and all online features for this product will be terminated and will no longer be available from 15/10/2018.
According to the US listing for Warhawk, this shutdown means that the game will no longer be playable unless the PS3 system is set to LAN mode, as only local network play will function.
Multi-player and all online features for this product will be terminated and will no longer be available from 25/10/2018. | 2019-04-24T04:10:13 | https://www.xtremeps3.com/2018/10/03/sony-to-shutdown-servers-for-three-ps3-games/?share=google-plus-1 |
The Massachusetts Women's Fellowship, United Church of Christ, is an auxiliary organization of the Conference established to undergird the program of the Conference and its churches by (1) encouraging women to grow to full stature as mature Christians; (2) enlisting women in a closer fellowship of Christian love; and (3) encouraging the participation of women in the life and work of the whole church.
The Fellowship shall make an annual report to the Conference. The Fellowship shall organize itself and set its own rules, providing they are not in conflict with these Bylaws.
During 2010, the Massachusetts Women’s Fellowship Board of Directors voted to dissolve as of July 1, 2011. They made this decision because the churches of the Conference, with a handful of exceptions, no longer maintain organized Women’s Fellowship groups, leaving no role for a statewide Board.
The Massachusetts Women’s Fellowship Board of Directors further voted to transfer their remaining assets to the Dorcas Society of the Pentecostal Church of Chile, with whom they have been in partnership for more than twenty years.
Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Conference, United Church of Christ proposes that the Annual Meeting amend the Conference bylaws accordingly.
Revised Massachusetts Conference Bylaws are available online. | 2019-04-20T22:18:56 | https://www.macucc.org/newsdetail/92738 |
Marcon completed the fit-out of Northern Ireland’s first frozen yogurt shop – Spoon Street is a new concept froyo bar, inspired by the craze that is sweeping America. The new brand is the brainchild of Harry Wang and Katie Waddell who have chosen Ballyhackamore in Belfast as the location of their first outlet.
The unit had to be stripped back to its shell and a complete interior fit-out undertaken over a 4 week period. Marcon Fit-Out’s specialist joinery workshop manufactured the bespoke items within the shop which included the counters, seating and the curved ceiling which is one of the many features of Spoon Street.
Spoon Street is a perfect example of where a high quality fit-out, good design and bespoke manufacturing meets imagination, a strong product and a personal service. | 2019-04-25T06:31:01 | https://www.marconfitout.com/spoon-street-2/ |

6 July 2014 – Nelson Maluleka scored a brace as the South African Men’s Under-17 National Team (Amajimbos) defeated Botswana U17 4-0 in an international friendly match on Sunday, 6 July at the Molepolole Stadium in Botswana.
The other two goals came from midfielders Thendo Mukumela and Sibongakonke Mbatha.
The score was 2-0 at the break.
This was the second match in a week between the two nations – South Africa won the first encounter 2-0 on Thursday, 3 July at the Sir Seretse Khama Barracks Stadium in Mogoditshane.
Amajimbos head coach Molefi Ntseki made eight changes to the squad that won the first match. The visitors took the lead through Mukumela in the 36th minute with a long-range shot. Seven minutes later Maluleka opened his account with a thunderous strike that gave the Botswana keeper no chance.
Mbatha increased the lead 10 minutes into the second stanza to make it 2-0 to South Africa.
A minute later Maluleka, who is also the captain, scored his second from the penalty spot after a Botswana defender was adjudged to have handled in the box.
Ntseki brought on fresh legs, giving a chance to Felix Noge, Katlego Mohamme, Edwin Sekhwama, Thato Ramogogodi, Vuyo Mkatshana and Vuyo Mantjie in place of Simon Nqoi, Mbatha, Maluleka, Khanyisa Mayo, Charles Baloyi and Thato Pheleu.
On Monday, 7 July the South Africans travel to Lesotho for two more matches.
The clashes are part of preparations for the upcoming 2015 African Youth Championship qualifier against Tanzania on Friday, 18 July in Dar es Salaam. | 2019-04-24T09:47:11 | http://www.africansportsmonthly.com/news/sa-u17-wallops-botswana-u17 |
CAPITAL SERVICE, Inc. et al.
Petitioner manufacturers and distributes bakery products in California. A union sought unsuccessfully to organize its employees. Thereupon, the union sought to enlist the aid of purchasers and consumers of petitioner's products. Agents of the union requested retail stores not to handle petitioner's products and stated that if they continued to do so, a picket line would be set up. Some stores acquiesced; others did not. The union placed pickets at the entrances of the latter stores, with the result that many deliveries were interrupted and some employees of other employers refused to cross the picket lines.
Petitioner made two counter moves. First, it filed suit for an injunction against the union in the California courts. A few days later it filed a charge of an unfair labor practice against the union with respondent. Each had as a basis the same conduct of the union.
"In view of the fact that exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter was in the National Labor Relations Board, Garner v. Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Helpers Local Union No. 776 (A.F.L.) (346 U.S. 485), 74 S.Ct. 161, could the Federal District Court, on application of the Board, enjoin Petitioners from enforcing an injunction already obtained from the State court?" 346 U.S. 936, 74 S.Ct. 375.
I. The District Court had jurisdiction of the subject matter, because this is a 'civil action or proceeding' arising under an Act of Congress 'regulating commerce.' 28 U.S.C. § 1337, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1337. The National Labor Relations Act is a law 'regulating commerce' (National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., 301 U.S. 1, 57 S.Ct. 615, 81 L.Ed. 893); and here, as in American Federation of Labor v. Watson, 327 U.S. 582, 591, 66 S.Ct. 761, 765, 90 L.Ed. 873, the rights asserted arise under that law.
II. In absence of a command of the Congress to the contrary, the power of the District Court to issue the injunction is clear. Federal courts seek to avoid needless conflict with state agencies and withhold relief by way of injunction where state remedies are available and adequate. See Alabama Public Service Commission v. Southern Ry. Co., 341 U.S. 341, 71 S.Ct. 762, 95 L.Ed. 1002. But where Congress, acting within its constitutional authority, has vested a federal agency with exclusive jurisdiction over a subject matter and the intrusion of a state would result in conflict of functions, the federal court may enjoin the state proceeding in order to preserve the federal right. See Public Utilities Commission of Ohio v. United Fuel Gas Co., 317 U.S. 456, 468—470, 63 S.Ct. 369, 375—376, 87 L.Ed. 396; Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503, 510—511, 64 S.Ct. 641, 645, 88 L.Ed. 892. Cf. American Federation of Labor v. Watson, supra, 327 U.S. at pages 593—595, 66 S.Ct. at pages 766—767, 90 L.Ed. 873. Congress, however, has provided that 'A court of the United States may not grant an injunction to stay proceedings in a State court except as expressly authorized by Act of Congress, or where necessary in aid of its jurisdiction, or to protect or effectuate its judgments.' 28 U.S.C. § 2283, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2283.
We do not stop to consider the many questions which have been propounded under this newly worded provision of the Code.2 One alone suffices for this case. For we conclude that the injunction issued by the District Court was 'necessary in aid of its jurisdiction' and thus permitted under the exceptions specifically allowed by Congress.
The state court injunction restrains conduct which the District Court was asked to enjoin in the § 10(l) proceeding brought in the District Court by the Board's Regional Director against the union. In order to make the § 10(l) power effective the Board must have authority to take all steps necessary to preserve its case. If the state court decree were to stand, the Federal District Court would be limited in the action it might take. If the Federal District Court were to have unfettered power to decide for or against the union, and to write such decree as it deemed necessary in order to effectuate the policies of the Act, it must be freed of all restraints from the other tribunal. To exercise its jurisdiction freely and fully it must first remove the state decree. When it did so, it acted 'where necessary in aid of its jurisdiction'.
In view of our ruling, we find it unnecessary to consider whether apart from the specific exceptions contained in § 2283, the District Court was justified in enjoining this intrusion on an exclusive federal jurisdiction. Cf. Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503, 510—511, 64 S.Ct. 641, 645, 88 L.Ed. 892. | 2019-04-26T09:42:00 | https://openjurist.org/347/us/501 |
You could have the most beautiful ecommerce website in the world – if it’s not easy to navigate and use, then it’s all for nothing.
In today’s competitive landscape, for an ecommerce store to truly succeed and continue growing, it’s no longer enough to just attract visitors with well-executed marketing campaigns and beautiful visuals. Once they’ve landed on your website, it’s crucial to offer them a smooth user experience from beginning to end that will keep them engaged and motivate them to come back time after time.
How to achieve this? With the help of Williams Commerce’s team of highly experienced UX (user experience) designers.
Our team of UX designers is involved in the process of creating a new ecommerce website from the beginning, to deliver stunning websites with beautiful, user-centric design.
We create a strategy which is tailored to your goals. This includes gaining an in-depth understanding of your target audience and its needs.
The UX team will create a wireframe for your new ecommerce store which incorporates all the data they’ve gained so far.
Before moving forward with the implementation, our experts make sure to TEST, TEST, TEST to iron out any potential issues or bugs.
When creating the UX design, at Williams Commerce we also take into account the different requirements that your mobile website has and ensure we create a fully responsive ecommerce website which offers a smooth customer journey on all devices, from desktop to mobile.
It’s no secret that customers these days have higher expectations and demands than ever before. And who can blame them, when there are so more options available out there for them to choose from? So, if you want to avoid your customers switching loyalty because they weren’t satisfied with the online experience provided, UX can help you keep your customers happy and turn them into loyal clients.
• Saves you money and time – instead of having to deal with usability issues later, when it might be harder and more expensive to change the existing design of your website, why not prevent those issues from happening by ensuring that you give your customers the user experience they want from the beginning.
• Good for SEO – with Google penalising websites for bad usability and giving lower quality scores to your Google Ads, avoid all that hassle and make the most of the mobile traffic coming to your website by giving them a fully responsive, UX design.
• Higher conversion rates – by offering a smooth user experience from start to finish for your users, you increase chances of them completing their purchase the first time which translates into higher conversion rates that lead to an increase in revenue. Our UX design team works closely with our CRO (conversion rate optimisation) experts to ensure that the design is fully optimised to help you achieve better conversion rates across various devices. | 2019-04-22T20:14:21 | https://www.williamscommerce.com/what-we-do/design-user-experience/ |

This is a quick and delicious full-flavoured main course – tender pork, creamy, smoky cheese and sweet apple sauce. Either make your own apple sauce or use shop bought. This goes well with braised cabbage and mashed potato.
Heat the grill to medium. Place the pork steak on a foiled grill tray, brushed with a little oil. Fold the foil over a little around the edge, to make a small lip. Grill the pork steak gently on either side until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Once cooked through, remove from the grill and turn up the heat.
Grind a little black pepper on each steak. Spoon a tablespoon of apple sauce on top of each, spread it out a little and top with a slice of cheese. Place back under the grill and cook until the cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly browned. Serve with any juices caught in the foil. | 2019-04-18T10:39:15 | https://www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/view/recipe/pork-gammon-recipes/pork-steak-with-apple-sauce-smoked-chedd |

You can either use fresh veg or left overs for this recipe, I also add in other veg if I have it. This is great as it can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner, hot or cold. For the frittata pictured I had the roasted veg as leftovers so fried leeks & added peas towards the end before putting into a dish and adding egg mixture.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Meanwhile, prepare your chosen veg: peel shallots or onions and quarter or thickly slice; peel carrots and cut into 5mm slices; peel squash or pumpkin, deseed and cut into 2–3cm cubes; peel parsnip, celeriac and beetroot and cut into 1–2cm cubes; cut potatoes into 1–2cm cubes.
Put all the veg into an ovenproof dish, about 23cm square. Add the garlic, oil and plenty of salt and pepper and toss well. Roast for about 30 - 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veg are all tender and starting to caramelise in places.
Beat the eggs together with the chopped herbs and some more salt and pepper. Take the dish from the oven, pour the egg evenly over the veg. Return to the oven for 10–15 minutes until the egg is all set and the top is starting to colour. If your oven has a grill, you can use that to accelerate the browning of the top.
Leave to cool slightly, and then slide the frittata out on to a plate or board.
Stir ingredients in a large bowl (if time leave for a wee while for the juice to soak in) then spread onto a large baking tray and place in the oven for 25-30 mins until golden brown, stirring periodically to stop it sticking and allow even browning.
This can be used for breakfast, pudding or a snack with fruit & yoghurt or sprinkled on the top of stewed apples/rhubarb/plums.
TIP: Put a handful of frozen berries into a jam jar before you go to bed, next morning add natural yogurt & top with Muesli, screw on the lid – easy snack or lunchtime treat for work or school. | 2019-04-21T16:22:01 | http://www.andreahomeopath.co.uk/gluten_free_recipes.htm |

Forex trading carries high risks of encountering substantial losses for non-professional investors. After the accord at Bretton Woods in 1971, more major currencies were allowed to float freely against one another. The values of individual currencies vary, which has given rise to the need for foreign exchange services and trading.
Companies doing business in foreign countries are at risk due to fluctuations in currency values when they buy or sell goods and services outside of their domestic market. 100 to manufacture, and the U. A stronger dollar resulted in a much smaller profit than expected. The blender company could have reduced this risk by shorting the euro and buying the USD when they were at parity.
That way, if the dollar rose in value, the profits from the trade would offset the reduced profit from the sale of blenders. Hedging of this kind can be done in the currency futures market. Imagine a trader who expects interest rates to rise in the U. The trader believes higher interest rates in the U.
You can earn the interest rate differential between two currencies. You can profit from changes in the exchange rate. An investor can profit from the difference between two interest rates in two different economies by buying the currency with the higher interest rate and shorting the currency with the lower interest rate. Currency trading was very difficult for individual investors prior to the internet. Trading currencies can be risky and complex. The interbank market has varying degrees of regulation, and forex instruments are not standardized. | 2019-04-21T19:04:19 | http://lecoachdupc.ch/forex-forecast-free/ |
If you are like most people, you probably don't enjoy hunting down spiders, rodents, and creepy-looking beetles, and decide to leave the exterminating to the professionals. Instead of sticking around to watch how your problem is treated, many people skip off to the mall or go out to lunch, leaving their exterminator to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, getting rid of bugs should be a joint effort between you and your pest control specialist, like one from Cavanaugh's Professional Termite & Pest Services. Here are two ways to help your exterminator to do his job, so that your treatment is more effective.
After you have set up an appointment with your exterminator, you might feel like you have done your job regarding pest control. However, if you are serious about eradicating bugs, there are a few things that you should do before your pest control professional ever steps into your home.
Record Pest Activity: Professional exterminators use different chemicals to target different pests. For example, traveling pests like spiders might be treated with a residual pesticide, which can stick around for up to a year so that pests have time to track through the area. If you want to make the most of your treatment, carefully record pest activity. Write down descriptions of bugs or spiders, their usual hiding spots, and the time of day that you notice them. Any information that you can give your professional can help him to use the right pesticide.
Remove Obstacles: When your exterminator encounters obstacles like furniture pieces and piles of papers, your treatment might be less effective because professionals can't treat certain areas. In order to help your exterminator, go through your home and remove any objects that might get in their way. Pull furniture away from the walls, and eliminate clutter before experts arrive.
Vacuum Everywhere: To help pesticide to adhere to your carpet and stick to your walls, thoroughly vacuum your home. Use hose attachments to remove dust and debris around baseboards, underneath furniture, and in front of doorways.
Not only will preparing your home help your exterminator to be more effective, but it might also give your professional more time to treat your space. When exterminators don't have to interview you about the problems that you have been dealing with or move heavy furniture, they might have more time to target trouble spots.
To keep bugs from coming back, most exterminators will issue homeowners special instructions before they leave. Although you might be tempted to ignore these directions, the fact of the matter is that not paying attention can cost you. Here are a few guidelines that exterminators might issue, and how they can help your treatment to be effective.
Timeframe: If your pest control professional gives you instructions regarding how long you need to leave areas untouched, follow his instructions to the letter of the law. Some pesticides need time to dry or set before they can be effective. If liquid is mopped up or items are moved around, you might be destroying the pesticide perimeter that your exterminator worked so hard to develop.
Daily Behavioral Changes: As your exterminator treats your home, they might notice homeowner habits or problems with your home that can be aggravating your bug problem. For example, if your family has a tough time remembering to throw away food wrappers or clean up dropped crumbs, it could be attracting pests. If your exterminator mentions habits that could be making your bug problem worse, try not to take offense, and implement the recommended changes right away.
Being proactive and taking the time to familiarize yourself with pest control treatments can help your exterminator to be more effective the first time around. | 2019-04-18T18:18:32 | http://lancefunggallery.com/2014/10/07/2-ways-to-help-your-exterminator-be-more-effective/ |
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a major intracellular protein phosphatase that regulates multiple aspects of cell growth and metabolism. Phosphorylation enables the activation or The ability of this widely distributed heterotrimeric enzyme to act on a diverse array of substrates is largely controlled by the nature of its regulatory B subunit. There are multiple families of B subunits, this family is called the B56 family.
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a major intracellular protein phosphatase that regulates multiple aspects of cell growth and metabolism such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, cell cycle, development, and apoptosis.
In order to exhibit specificity control over catalysis, hetero-oligomers are formed so the catalytic subunits are complexed with regulatory subunits. This helps direct their action towards the cellular substrate. This is the function of the B56 domain.
B56 alpha, is additionally thought to play a role in nuclear export.
Regulatory B subunit is a heterotrimer.
Mainly found in the cytoplasm, however various isoforms can be found in the nucleus.

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the B56 domain has been found. There are 15 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence. | 2019-04-23T06:25:57 | http://pfam.xfam.org/family/PF01603 |

A Simi Valley home is the perfect place to raise a family. You can enjoy all that the Los Angeles area offers in the way of employment and entertainment opportunities and then return to your home snug in the tranquility that is the community of Simi Valley’s foundation.
For many residents, Simi Valley history adds to its appeal and nostalgia. In the beginning, it was home to the Chumash Indians whom used the fruitful soil to harvest items like acorns. Then, it became a home to Spanish colonies that built the famous Simi Adobe-Strathearn House that served as the once named Rancho Simi’s headquarters, but is now part of the Strathearn Historical Park and Museum. It is a city that also has history during the pioneer days and was used for the raising of sheep and cattle. It was finally incorporated in 1969 with only a population of 10,000 people. | 2019-04-23T18:48:00 | https://robinkarcich.c21erg.com/Simi-Valley |

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) could be set to fall nearly 20% based on trading in the options market and an analysis of the stocks current trading patterns. Shares of the stock sit at a critical technical support level, while options traders are betting shares of the stock fall by January of next year.
The January 18, 2019 long straddle options strategy suggests that IBM stock could rise or fall by about 16.7% from the $145 strike price. It places shares of IBM in a trading range of $121 to $169. But the number of puts outweighs the calls with 3,600 put contracts of open interest, versus only 2,670 call contracts. Additionally, there are nearly 4,400 put contracts of open interest at that $135 strike, and with a cost per contracts of approximately $7.20, it suggests that the price of the stock would need to fall to below $128 just to break even.
After years of declining revenues, analysts are forecasting revenue to just barely grow by less than 1% per year in 2019 and 2020. But the earnings outlook isn't much better, with a growth rate of about 2.7% in 2019 and 3.7% in 2020. It makes the appearance of IBM's cheap one-year forward earnings multiple of 10.5 not all that cheap.
But should IBM's stock hold its uptrend, or report better than expected quarterly results in the middle of April, the stock would likely avoid the sharp decline. It could also spur option bets to be unwound and repositioned. It makes the upcoming quarterly results for IBM critical.
For now, IBM's stock appears to be nearing a breakdown, with options traders, technical charts and analyst estimates suggesting shares fall in the coming weeks and months. | 2019-04-23T00:45:16 | https://www.investopedia.com/news/ibm-traders-see-stock-plunging-20/ |
