Freshly cut hay, always invokes many memories of my youth.
Growing up on the farm was an incredible period of my life, we experienced moments of hardship, but also so many countless moments of joy and beauty. I did so much discovering in that place, discovery of the world, discovery of myself. One of the greatest things I learned was to cope with temporary discomfort when I knew that it was contributing toward a reality that was worth it. When I was working for something that I loved, it was all worth it, no matter what momentary hardships might present themselves.
Although bailing hay was incredibly hard work, especially when I was so young, I accepted it as my responsibility, my “cost” for being privileged enough to grow up with horses. The privilege, to wake up before the sun, walk quietly out to the barn in a heavy sweater, and thick boots, pull back the barn door and be greeted by the warm smell of horses and the soft sound of their welcoming nickers. To grab a bridle, pull open the stall door and lead my horse out into the pre-dawn night. To pull myself onto her back, her thick fur immediately warming my legs, her ears forward looking into the night. To lie close to her neck, trusting that her eyesight at night is better than mine, and to lean into a smooth gallop with her, darkness enveloping my vision, the crisp air catching my breath, the stars shining softly as they fade into dawn. To lie flat on her back as she grazes, staring up at the sky, dreaming up ideas and futures, listening to the world wake up as the sun pulls itself slowly above the horizon. To sit, and embrace the warm golden rays as the sunshine spills into the field. This was all a gift, and every ounce of sweat was worth it. Without question.
Beyond all of those little moments of hardship, those brief memories of pain or discomfort, every single one of those moments was building toward something greater. Each was contributing to my growth as a person, to my development of self and my fearlessness and courage. Each of these moments that I once wished away, I continue to learn from with each reflection. I have realized over time the weight that these six simple words carry, and that they are not to be used lightly, as they go beyond the immediate moment, they go to the core of our own existence. Soon this really will all be over, and there will no longer be future moments in our life to cope with. In the end, we actually live our lives very quickly, the good and the bad.
I catch myself now, when I am wishing away my present, and rather than uttering that Mantra, I try to look for small opportunities to acknowledge and appreciate beauty within the present. Today I spent the day pruning vines on an organic vineyard. The task itself is not overtly laborious, it is not overly taxing but it can be somewhat monotonous and the mind tends to wander. After hours in the hot sun snipping and plucking, walking row after row, my mind was tempted to reach again for that Mantra. But no, not this time. This time I took a moment to acknowledge and appreciate. Looking at the horizon I am surrounded by mountains, all with dynamic shapes, sizes, colors and reliefs- snow caps straight ahead, to my right cacti blanket the mountainside, to my left steep thick green ridges. I smile, standing in awe of the rawness of their beauty. I look down at the vine I am trimming back, feeling love for the beautiful little buds that I am encouraging the vine to channel sap to. I imagine the small role I play in the life of this plant, the grapes that will be born from it, their journey to grow, be bottled and eventually end up in a glass poured in celebration and cheers- suddenly I am a vessel of fate for these grapes. My smile gets bigger. A soft breeze plays with my hair, I relish in the feeling of being outside all day, dirt on my hands, the sun on my back, surrounded by trees and birds, breathing in the clean, fresh air. I begin imagining how I will take the knowledge I am gaining from this project and build something from it. Gratitude overwhelms me. It is a lovely day, and I hope that this is not over too soon; I continue onto the next row.
Have you ever caught yourself wishing away your present moments, rather than digging in and pulling out every last drop of life you have in the present? What have you done about it? It takes practice, for me anyway, and a level of consciousness, but I have found there is so much beauty around us, it can always be found, should we only choose to seek it. Our perspective of challenges can be shifted dramatically when we find moments to appreciate within the midst of them, before it’s all over.
Nice blog, Greta! When I was younger, a friend & I had a joke about “some day” which was never about the present moment. I can totally relate to your experience & love the place you’ve arrived at! Your words are very descriptive & my senses came alive! Great job!! Keep it going!
Many thanks for the supportive words! It is wonderful to hear when something resonates 🙂 And such a good angle to consider as well with those “some day” comments- always an opportunity to consider why not now? Cheers! | 2019-04-24T05:51:24 | https://wanderwithgreta.com/2014/10/04/wishing-away-the-present/ |

At the Law Office of Matthew I. Hirsch, we have extensive experience with employer-sponsored filings and many years of successful outcomes with Petitions for H-1B status.
What is a “United States Employer”?
What is a qualified H-1B beneficiary?
What is a “specialty occupation”?
What are the labor-related requirements for an H-1B visa?
What is a “public inspection file”?
What is the “return transportation requirement”?
What is the H-1B “cap”?
When can I file for an H-1B?
When is an Employer or Petition exempt from the “cap”?
What is an H-1B dependent employer?
What additional attestations/procedures are required of H-1B dependent employers?
What are the penalties for violating requirements for H-1B dependent employers?
Where can I get more information on H-1B visas?
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa category for temporary professional workers. It is an employer-sponsored category. This means that a petition for H-1B status must be filed by a qualified “United States Employer”, defined below; individuals may not sponsor themselves for H-1B status. In addition, the H-1B category is employer-specific. This means that the H-1B permits the foreign worker to work only for the sponsoring company or organization.
To qualify for H-1B status, the employer, the employee and the position offered must all meet regulatory requirements, described more fully below. In addition, the employer must comply with labor-related requirements relating to wages and working conditions, also described below. A Petition for H-1B status is filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS, formerly INS) and is adjudicated by CIS examiners at a regional processing center.
The following sections describe the various requirements that must be met by the employer and the applicant to qualify for an H1B visa.
An employer seeking to file a Petition for H-1B status must be a “United States (U.S.) employer.” A U.S. employer is a person, firm, corporation, contractor or other association or organization in the United States with an IRS tax identification number known as a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). For a petition to be approved, the CIS must find that a bona fide employer-employee relationship exists. In evaluating whether a bona fide employer-employee relationship exists, the CIS looks at whether the sponsoring employer has the authority to hire, fire, pay, supervise, direct, manage and/or otherwise control the work of the employee. In cases involving technology consultants, healthcare workers or other positions involving third-party worksites, the CIS has regularly required supplement proof to demonstrate the existence of the bona fide employment relationship. For more information on CIS requirements for cases involving third-party work sites, click here.
have education, specialized training, and/or progressively responsible experience that is equivalent to the completion of a U.S. baccalaureate or higher degree in the specialty occupation, and have recognition of expertise in the specialty through progressively responsible positions directly related to the specialty.
In some cases, if the lack of an H-1B prevents an otherwise eligible beneficiary from obtaining a professional license or certification, the CIS will grant the H-1B for a one-year period to permit the person to qualify for the required professional license or certification.
attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry.
Examples of specialty occupations include: architects, engineers, professors, teachers, researchers, medical professionals, allied health professionals, dietitians, computer professionals, accountants, attorneys, social workers, economists, librarians, business professionals and others. The key to determining whether a position qualifies as a “specialty occupation” is whether or not the position normally requires a degree in a particular field. If a position requires a bachelors’ degree in any field, it may not qualify as a specialty occupation.
the nature of the specific duties are so specialized and complex as to be usually associated with the attainment of a baccalaureate or higher degree. A position that would normally qualify as a specialty occupation may qualify if the position is so complex or unique that only an individual with a degree can perform the requisite duties.
What are the labor-related requirements for an H-1B?
In addition to meeting requirements relating to the petitioner, the beneficiary and the position, to qualify for an H-1B, the employer must also comply with certain labor-related requirements. In particular, every Petition for H-1B status (and every Petition for H-1B1 or E-3 status) must be accompanied by a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA is transmitted to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), using the DOL’s on-line system, referred to as iCert. The DOL is supposed to take no more than seven days to review and certify the LCA. Once the LCA is certified, it is returned to the employer/attorney as an electronic attachment. Once returned, the certified LCA can be included as part of the H-1B package of documents.
The LCA is not a test of the labor market. The LCA does not require newspaper advertising or other forms for recruitment. The LCA does not require the employer to screen or interview U.S. workers. The LCA does not require proof that the foreign worker has special skills or that the employer has been unable to locate a U.S. worker for the job. Those concepts are associated with employer-sponsored permanent residence, not with the H-1B category.
that the employer has provided notice of the filing of the LCA filing to the employees’ collective bargaining representative for the H-1B occupation or, if there is no such representative, it has posted notice of the filing for ten days in a conspicuous place at the work site on the date the LCA is filed, or within 30 days before it is filed.
documentation of the basis used for the prevailing wage.
In general, DOL regulations require employers to make the LCA and supporting documentation available for public examination at the place of business or the place of employment within one working day after the filing of the LCA. An employer must retain copies of the LCA and the public inspection file for one year beyond the end of the period of authorized employment or one year from the date the LCA is withdrawn, except in the case of DOL enforcement action. It is advisable to keep the PIF separate from the employee’s personnel records.
In addition to the requirements described above, all sponsors of H-1B workers must agree to pay the alien the reasonable cost of transportation to return to his or her home country if the employer terminates the alien’s employment prior to the end of the authorized employment period. Please note that the return transportation requirement does not apply if the H-1B worker leaves the job voluntarily. The return transportation requirement does not apply if the H-1B worker is terminated at the end of the period of authorized employment. Return transportation does not have to be offered to family members and the H-1B sponsor does not have to pay the return transportation costs of any of the H-1B worker’s personal property.
The number of new H-1B visas is subject to an annual cap. According to statute, the maximum number of visas is capped at 65,000 per fiscal year; counted from October 1 to September 30. Out of these, 6,800 are set aside for professionals from Chile and Singapore who are eligible for H-1B1 visas pursuant to Free Trade Agreements with the United States. An additional 20,000 visa numbers are available to individuals who have received a Master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution of higher education. Any unused visa numbers under the Chile/Singapore quota are used for candidates that fall under the regular cap.
Once the annual H-1B cap is reached, it is no longer to file a Petition for H-1B worker. The “cap” renews each October 1, and it is possible to file Petitions up to six months in advance. Therefore, under the present system, on April 1 of a given year, the CIS will begin to receive and count Petitions for H-1B status against the cap for the fiscal year beginning on October 1. In recent years, the H-1B cap has been reached in a matter of days, meaning that qualified employers, seeking to sponsor qualified H-1B workers, were barred from filing Petitions.
a nonprofit research organization or a governmental research organization.
For more information about when an employer is exempt from the H-1B cap, click here.
who is the beneficiary of a Petition seeking a transfer of H-1B status.
An H-1B Dependent Employer is a company that employs a high percentage of H-1B workers. If a company is H-1B dependent, additional attestations and requirements will apply to any Petition for H-1B worker.
employers with more than 50 full-time employees having 15% of the workforce in H-1B status.
For information on calculating H-1B dependency, click here.
If an employer is H-1B dependent or has been found to have willfully violated their H-1B obligations within a five-year period, then it will have additional attestation requirements relating to the recruitment of U.S. workers and the displacement of U.S. workers, in addition to the general employer requirements for H-1B visa petitions.
These additional attestation requirements apply only to labor condition applications (LCAs) filed by an employer for a non-exempt H-1B worker. They do not apply to LCAs filed for an “exempt” H-1B worker. An “exempt H-1B nonimmigrant” is an H-1B worker who earns at least $60,000 per year or holds a Master’s degree or higher in a field related to the intended area of employment.
As to any non-exempt worker, each time an employer files an LCA, either for new employment or for an extension of a non-exempt worker, it is required to indicate H-1B dependency status.
If the employer is H-1B dependent, then it must include in the LCA an attestation that it will not displace or lay-off a U.S. worker “in an equivalent job” either within its own workforce or that of another employer (e.g. contractor). Furthermore, an H-1B dependent employer is also prohibited from placing the H-1B worker with another employer (e.g. in a contracting position) to perform work, either in whole or in part, if this would also result in displacing a similarly situated U.S. worker.
In addition, an H-1B dependent employer must also make a good faith effort to recruit U.S. workers for the position before hiring an H-1B worker. The employer must recruit potential U.S. workers for the position through advertising, job fairs and other forms of industry-wide recruitment. Furthermore, the employer must offer the job to any equally or better qualified U.S. worker who applies for the position. The employer must also not favor other non-immigrant employees who have not yet obtained H-1B status, e.g. students on OPT.
If your organization has a high percentage of H-1B workers and if you have questions or concerns about H-1B dependency, contact us.
Depending on the type of violation committed by the employer, civil money penalties may be assessed ranging from $1,000 to $35,000 per violation. Furthermore, employers who commit certain violations may be prohibited from participating in the H-1B program or other immigrant programs for a minimum of one year, and up to three years, depending on the nature of the violation.
Where can I get more information on H-1B visa?
Please note: The law relating to H-1B visas, LCA’s, changes of status, transfers between cap-subject and cap-exempt employers, and other H-1B topics is very complex. At the Law Office of Matthew I. Hirsch, we specialize in H-1B visas and have filed literally hundreds of cases in this category. Mr. Hirsch is a recognized expert on H-1B topics and has frequently presented lectures on H-1B topics to fellow lawyers and other professionals. We welcome the opportunity to consult with you and your organization about H-1B visas, and any other type of employer-sponsored non-immigrant visa.

Andrea Zaccuri (Alumni MDes), Arianna Smaron (Alumna MA) and Alessandra Puricelli (MA) are represented in the exhibition “Hotel Insomnia” in Eindhoven (NL) with works in editorial design. The works were created during their studies in Basel.
In March 2015, the collective VOLUCE was interested in the problem of abandoned places in Milano, which lead to the start of project SPOGLIE. The research was divided into two phases: first, we collected data and pictures of the areas then, in designing the book, we acknowledged how to visually represent these areas.
Thanks to Basil.js we were able to process 330+ places, managing their metadata, drawings and satellite pictures. The code we wrote captured the information from Google Maps and a datasheet organizing them into the book. Due to the complexity of the information, the use of a programming language was a fundamental aspect to visualize and understand the data. The final outcome is a connection between the architectural space and its digital representation.
A reflection upon the chinese poem by Li Bao “Ask the moon with a cup of wine in the hand“, in a bilingual poster-book format. How can the Chinese poem be interpreted by the choice of the layout and the relationship with its english translation?
Li Bao plays with direct figures of speech which remind currents and flows.
The book-poster presented can be read vertically and horizontally and plays on the relationship between the image of the moon and the text.
The moon is an image of my hair, because for Li Bai, in his poem he can see himself in the moon. Therefore the visual interpret the thoughts of the writer also by the movements of the text which is “dancing like a current in the river”. This play is visible in both the languages: the chinese characters placed in vertical and going up and down and the english characters by the changes of the tracking.

Just like whole numbers (or integers), decimal numbers also have place value and a corresponding number word. The place value of decimal numbers also allows you to know the number word of a decimal number. In other words, the number word of a decimal comes from its place value.
First, let's look at some decimal numbers and see how they are expressed in words.
The number word for 0.4 is four tenths and is the same as its place value.That is because the digit 4 is in the tenths place.
Remember, when dealing with decimals with the place value of tenths like 0.4 there are equivalent decimals to 0.4 such as to 0.40 (forty hundredths) and 0.400 (four thousandths), etc.
The number word for 0.65 is sixty-five hundredths and is the same as its place value.
That is because the number 65 is to the right of the decimal point, indicating the decimal in the hundredths place.
The number word for 0.875 is eight hundred seventy-five thousandths.That is because the number 875 is to the right of the decimal point,indicating the decimal in the thousandths place.
The number word for 2.81 is two and eighty-one hundredths.That is because there are 2 whole parts and 81 fractional parts. The "and" represents the decimal point.
The number word for 34.24 is thirty-four and twenty four hundredths.That is because there are 34 whole parts and 24 fractional parts. The "and" represents the decimal point.
The number word for 168.973 is one hundred sixty-eight and nine hundred seventy-three thousandths.That is because there are 168 whole parts and 973 fractional parts. The "and" represents the decimal point.
As you can see, the number word simply expresses each decimal as its place value.
Notice how the word "and" is only used when there are both whole numbers and fractional parts. The word "and" shows there is a fractional part: it represents the decimal point.
Let's practice identifying the place value of decimal numbers and their number words.
1) What is the number word for the decimal 0.6?
Look at how many digits are to the right of the decimal. There is only one digit to the right of the decimal. The 6 is the only digit to the right, so the decimal is in the tenths place. Write the number 6 as a word (six) and then the word tenths.
2) What is the number word for the decimal 0.75?
Look at how many digits are to the right of the decimal. There are two digits to the right of the decimal. Two digits (7 and 5) are to the right of the decimal, making the decimal in the hundredths place. Write the number 75 as a word (seventy-five) and then the word hundredths.
3) What is the number word for the decimal 0.316?
Look at how many digits are to the right of the decimal. There are three digits to the right of the decimal. Three digits (3, 1 and 6) to the right of the decimal make the decimal in the thousandths place. Write the number 316 as a word (three hundred sixteen) and then the word thousandths.
4) What is the number word for the decimal 5.16?
Look at how many digits are to the left and right of the decimal. There is one digit to the left and two digits to the right of the decimal. The digit 5 is to the left indicating it has 5 ones. Two digits (1 and 6) to the right of the decimal make the fractional portion in the hundredths place. Write the number 5 as a word (five), then write the word and which represents the decimal point. To the right of the decimal point, write the number word for 16 (sixteen) and the word hundredths.
5) What is the number word for the decimal 21.745?
Look at how many digits are to the left and right of the decimal. There are two digits to the left and three digits to the right of the decimal. The digits 2 and 1 is to the left indicating it has 2 tens and 1 ones, or the number 21. Three digits (7, 4 and 5) to the right of the decimal make the fractional portion in the thousandths place. Write the number 21 as a word (twenty-one), then write the word and which represents the decimal point. To the right of the decimal point, write the number word for 745 (seven hundred forty-five) the word thousandths.
6) What is the number word for the decimal 609.4?
Look at how many digits are to the left and right of the decimal. There are three digits to the left and one digit to the right of the decimal. Three digits (6, 0 and 9) to the left represent the whole number 609. The one digit to the right (4) of the decimal make the fractional portion in the tenths place. Write the number 609 as a word (six hundred nine), then write the word and which represents the decimal point. To the right of the decimal point, write the number word for 4 (four) and the word tenths.
7) What decimal number is the same as two tenths?
Since the place value is tenths, just write the word two as the number 2 to the right of a decimal point. There is no whole number (or integer), so place a zero to the left of the decimal point.
8) What decimal number is the same as twenty-seven hundredths?
Since the place value is hundredths, just write the word twenty-seven as the number 27 to the right of a decimal point. There is no whole number (or integer), so place a zero to the left of the decimal point.
9) What decimal number is the same as three hundred fifteen thousandths?
Since the place value is thousandths, just write the word three hundred fifteen as the number 315 to the right of a decimal point. There is no whole number (or integer), so place a zero to the left of the decimal point.
10) What decimal number is the same as six and two tenths?
This number word uses "and" and has both whole numbers and fractional parts. Write the word six as the number 6 then a decimal point to represent the "and". Next, the place value of decimal is tenths, so just write the word two as the number 2 to the right of a decimal point.
11) What decimal number is the same as fourteen and fifty-two hundredths?
This number word uses "and" and has both whole numbers and fractional parts. Write the word fourteen as the number 14 then a decimal point to represent the "and". Next, the place value of decimal is hundredths, so just write the word fifty-two as the number 52 to the right of a decimal point.
Decimal numbers have place value and a corresponding number word. Knowing the place value of decimal numbers also allows you to also know the number word of a decimal number.
The number word of a decimal corresponds to its place value.
0.4 is a decimal number with a place value of tenth, so the number word for 0.4 is four tenths.
0.56 is a decimal number with a place value of a hundredth, so the number word for 0.56 is fifty-six hundredths.
0.178 is a decimal number with a place value of a thousandth, so the number word for 0.178 is one hundred seventy-eight thousandths.
The word "and" is only used when there are both whole numbers and fractional parts. The word "and" represents the decimal point. | 2019-04-24T02:56:22 | https://www.turtlediary.com/lesson/decimal-place-value.html |
The singing sensation Beyonce has never looked back after her initial success. Apart from her amazing beats she has also acted in films. She even got a chance to sing at the 2008 Presidential Inauguration ceremony. Destiny’s Child has bought her great success and she has proved that she is equally deserving of individual credits. You need to act fast and book your Beyonce concert tickets before they sell out.
Beyonce has slowly emerged as a talented solo star from the trio girl group - Destiny’s Child. Beyonce Knowles was born on September 4, 1981 and started very early in making her music career. She started with Gyrl’s Time, a group of eight girls. The group had two tremendously talented singers in Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, both later on featured in Destiny’s Child. The group also got signed by an R&B producer and the concerts tickets sold like hot cakes.
After the Star Search defeat, Beyonce was a little disappointed but she got great encouragement from her father, the manager of their group. The initial group of eight girls now only a group of four girls was renamed Destiny’s Child. From 1993 to 1997, Beyonce, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were featured on the opening acts. In 1997, the group struck gold with a single in the Men in Black soundtrack. This was enough to spark the careers of these girls and soon they started selling tickets on their own. The singles like “No, No, No” got great attention and they were on the R&B and Soul charts.
The group released their second album; The Writing’s on the Wall in 1999 and got mainstream success. The Destiny’s Child concerts tickets were quickly becoming hot property and the group was moving into professional music industry. Soon, Luckett and Roberson get replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. The group was slowly getting lost in its own success while Beyonce started getting solo projects. Slowly, Beyonce started getting more and more offers of solo performances and the group Destiny’s Child started losing its sheen. Beyonce’s first solo debut album Dangerously In Love in June 2003 got great success and it was #1 on the charts. The album was slowly reaching platinum heights and Beyonce concerts tickets were quickly selling out with fans buying tickets just to see a glimpse of her, their star.

Ezra Levant spins tar sands crude as “ethical oil”—with the same tricks he used in his tobacco lobbyist days.
This summer, as environmental groups converged on Washington, DC, to protest the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a Canadian “grassroots” nonprofit by the name of Ethical Oil went on the counteroffensive. The group’s YouTube videos and TV ads all carried the same blunt message: You can buy oil from Saudi Arabia and bankroll terrorism, the oppression of women, and fanatical Islam, or you can buy oil from Canada, your friendly, democratic neighbors to the north.
This “ethical oil” argument comes from Ezra Levant, a Canadian political commentator and the group’s cofounder. A middle-aged man with an easy smile and expressive eyebrows, he comes across in his speaking engagements as a personable, straightforward guy with a commonsense argument. In his book, he doesn’t try to impress with big words or even mildly complex ideas. He interjects his policy discussions with short sentences like “Wow.” You feel like you’re sitting down with a sensible old friend to chat about the follies of anti-tar-sands protesters.
Levant’s deceptively simple arguments have been gaining traction among the champions of Alberta’s tar sands, and they were even picked up recently by US Energy Secretary Steven Chu. Yet they neglect some key facts: In a global oil market, escalating demand ensures that the Saudis will never want for customers, no matter how much the US takes from Canada. Even the pro-Keystone XL Petroleum Economist notes that the “Ethical Oil” approach includes “strange arguments that show little grasp of the global economy, or the way its most important commodity is traded.” Unfortunately, these counterarguments are more complex, lacking the sound-bite simplicity of Ethical Oil’s good-versus-evil message.
If you’re familiar with the tobacco industry’s all-out campaign to downplay the adverse health effects of cigarettes, Levant’s rhetorical style might sound familiar. From June 2009 to June 2010, Levant was a registered lobbyist for Rothmans Inc., a subsidiary of Phillip Morris International. During his stint with Rothmans, he successfully convinced regulators to crack down on cigarette smuggling instead of increasing the size of health warning labels on cigarette packages, claiming that smuggling posed the greater public health risk. Contraband tobacco, he argued, is especially harmful to adolescents, who can buy it without having to show identification.
In May of 2010, while still a registered lobbyist for Rothman’s, Levant also began lobbying on behalf of the Ontario Korean Businessmen’s Association, a nonprofit representing 2,300 convenience store owners. On Levant’s first day of lobbying for the association, the OKBA issued a press release announcing it was launching a campaign against contraband cigarettes.
Just eight months after concluding his work for Rothmans, Levant founded the Ethical Oil Institute, the nonprofit behind EthicalOil.org. Although the group’s executive director has claimed that the website is “100 percent independent of government and industry,” the Ethical Oil Institute shares the exact mailing address of a prominent tar sands law firm, McLennan Ross LLP. Tom Ross of McLennan Ross and Levant make up the entirety of the Ethical Oil Institute board of directors. | 2019-04-21T10:08:46 | https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2011/10/keystone-xl-tar-sands-ethical-oil-pr-campaign/ |

US: Riedel's RockNet system handled audio distribution for the Christmas lighting tree ceremony at LA's Grove shopping complex, reports David Davies. Audio provider Goodman Audio deployed RockNet 100 for basic audio transport and routing between various points at the event.
Cirque de Soleil, Jon Secada and Lone Star were among the performers at this year's free event.
Specifically, Goodman Audio used three RN.101.IO modules to provide both line and microphone inputs and outputs. Nine RN.141.MY interfaces were used to connect two Yamaha PM5D mixing consoles, located at the FOH and monitoring stations, as well as a Yamaha M7CL console in the video truck. One RN.302.LO module was specified to provide eight additional line level audio outputs at the video truck.
According to Goodman Audio president Trace Goodman, the RockNet system is "very versatile and it just sounds great. The independent gain control worked amazingly with no one being able to tell that other engineers were making changes. Plus, the system is easy to set up and understand."
RockNet product manager Thorsten Schulze tells PSN-e: "RockNet is a real-time, low latency audio distribution network tailored to tour and installed sound applications. It provides a universal solution to almost any imaginable audio distribution challenge and behaves very much like a traditional analogue split system. RockNet 100 is the cost-effective and flexible solution to enter the world of RockNet digital audio networks. Based on the renowned RockNet 300 technology, RockNet 100 provides the same digital audio quality and ease of use with a reduced number of 80 channels. And of course, all RockNet 100 devices are compatible with the RockNet 300 series."
UK: KV2 Audio has undertaken a restructure and appointed Tom Weldon to oversee UK customer support, writes David Davies. The sound reinforcement manufacturer has also promoted former UK sales manager Mick Butler to the position of UK sales director. | 2019-04-20T09:10:19 | https://www.psneurope.com/installation/audio-for-christmas-lighting-1-riedel-in-la |

KINGMAN – A boy’s joyride with friends in a family car turned into a fiery crash early Tuesday morning behind Uptown Drug Store in the 2800 block of Andy Devine Avenue.
Kingman police responded to a report at about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday and arrived to find several vehicles fully engulfed in flames.
Their investigation found that a 14-year-old boy had taken the car and was fleeing from a family member who was following him in another vehicle and trying to get him to stop.
At some point one of the boy’s two friends drove the car when they lost control and crashed into two delivery vehicles parked behind the drug store, causing the fire. The vehicles were a total loss.
The 14-year-old was detained at the scene, while the other two fled and were later turned in by their parents.
All of the juveniles were taken to Kingman Regional Medical Center for evaluation and then were released to their parents. The investigation is ongoing. | 2019-04-23T12:01:56 | https://kdminer.com/news/2018/jul/10/joyride-family-car-ends-fiery-crash/ |
The MTR Corporation has said it is unsure why contractors chose to cut short steel bars against regulations, during a Hung Hom station expansion.
“I don’t know why they choose to use this method. This method is not very effective,” said MTRC Projects Director Philco Wong at a press conference on Wednesday. MTRC CEO Lincoln Leong said he would not speculate over why the unapproved methodology was used.
The rail operator admitted that workers in 2015 had cut steel bars to make them look as if they were correctly screwed into couplers securing a platform floor to the walls. If the steel bars are not properly attached, there is a risk that the platform floor could collapse. The station expansion is taking place to accommodate the HK$97.1 billion Sha Tin to Central Link.
Steel bars were cut short and did not screw into couplers securing a platform floor to the walls (right). Photo: Screenshot.
Pressed by reporters, Wong did not clearly state the number of problematic steel bars and their locations, out of 26,000 couplers they were connected to.
Wong said the there were five occasions in August and December 2015 were irregularities were found. He said “fewer than five” problematic steel bars were found in each of four inspections, and five problematic steel bars were found during a December inspection.
Wong said there were a lot of construction procedures and there may not be detailed records of everything. He said the December inspection found the problem was relatively serious and a written notification was made to the main contractor, Leighton Asia. Incorrect construction methods were no longer in use by January 2016.
Asked if the worker who cut short the steel bars belonged to Leighton Asia, Wong said there was no evidence to show who was responsible.
Leong said train tests started at the new Hung Hom station platforms in April, and the progress has showed that the structure was safe.
Leong said that, normally, inspectors stationed at construction sites will demand the rectification of problems immediately. He said superiors would only be notified if the problems occurred continuously and if they affected the building structure.
“This has been the practice across the industry, and is in compliance with the government’s demands. That is why we did not report the incident to the board and the government,” he said.
MTRC Chair Frederick Ma said the board attached great importance to the incident and a report will be submitted to the government.
Ma said the incident occurred three years ago and it will take time to gather the relevant information. The government demanded a report by Thursday, but the MTRC has replied that it can only submit a report as early as next Friday.
“We understand that the government is very concerned about this incident. We will fully respect any decision by the government,” he said.
Independent safety tests will be conducted by engineering consultant C M Wong & Associates Ltd., which will be completed in three to four months. The consultant has conducted independent tests for the City University sports centre and former Central Police Station collapse incidents, as well as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge falsified concrete tests incident.
“If any violation of regulations are found, we will handle it seriously and report it to the authorities,” Ma said.
The Highways Department said in a statement that it understood the MTRC needed time to collect and organise information, but it demanded the corporation submit a report as soon as possible.

The department said the MTRC should exhaust all feasible means to ensure the tests conducted by independent experts are reliable and comprehensive, and that the tests should be completed as soon as possible. The department also demanded the MTRC submit detailed information and testing plans by experts.
Democratic Party lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting said he was very disappointed by MTRC’s response since it had not answered key questions about the incident, such as why the contractors cut short the steel bars.
Civic Passion lawmaker Cheng Chung-tai has written to the legislature’s house committee to request an investigation by invoking its special legal powers. | 2019-04-19T19:07:48 | https://www.hongkongfp.com/2018/06/06/mtrc-top-official-unsure-contractors-cut-corners-hung-hom-mtr-station-expansion/ |

Dreams: to Reality is an action game developed by Cryo Interactive and released in 1997 for the PC and Playstation. In the screens below you can see an early beta version of the game, but as we never played the final one, we are not sure about all the differences. If you played the game, please let us know if you find some interesting changes!
The GUI, gameplay and the story are completely different between PSX and PC version of the game, I’ve played the both. Only the main character is the same. So this is why you see differences there, because the screenshots supplied here are from the both versions.
I like to think about this version as if it’s delirious dream experienced by a person who briefly played the original PC version. | 2019-04-20T05:06:43 | https://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/dreams-to-reality-psx-unreleased/ |
a re-casting of the libel laws such that, while individual reputation is protected against malicious or reckless smears, lawful free expression is not chilled and there is a fully effective public interest defence for both scholarship and responsible journalism.
I signed up to the petition pretty much as soon as it was launched and contacted my MP, Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative, Chingford and Woodford).
Thank you for writing to me about EDM 423 and libel law reform. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me.
I understand your concerns on this issue. It is important that those who contribute so much to research and culture in this country so not feel restricted from publishing intelectually challenging and informative articles. Fear of libel action should not curb debate by scientists, academics and journalists. Freedom of expression is the hallmark of a free society and must be strongly protected.
If libel cases do succeed, the costs are often so crippling to defendants that even large newspapers are in difficulty in resisting some claims. It is evident that Britain has become an attractive place for individuals to bring about speculative libel action since lawyers will often bear the brunt of the cost in exchange for the potential rewards available to winning litigants.
You may be aware that the Secretary of State for Justice, the Rt. Hon. Jack Straw MP, has recently announced that the government is drawing up plans to alter libel law.
As a general rule, I do not sign EDMs as the seldom have any impact. Please be assured that I will continue to press the government on this issue, to ensure that any changes to the law adequately protect individuals without placing to great a burden on, for example, scientists, academics, journalists.
First things first, a very many thanks to Mr. Duncan Smith for replying. It is clear from his response that he understands the issues at the core of the campaign - the protection of scientific debate and responsible journalism. It is heartening to see support for the principle of free expression from the Conservative party, following on from Jack Straw's recent announcement of a Working Party to investigate libel reform, and the Liberal Democrat commitment to rebalancing the law to protect free debate.
In all fairness, there is the possibility that Mr. Straw's plans that Mr. Duncan Smith refers to are more bark than bite, as the extraordinary legal blogger Jack of Kent points out - a working party whose work isn't followed up with genuine Parliamentary time and a concrete set of workable legislative reforms are nothing but political point-scoring this close to an election, and yet we musn't be too quick to dismiss the progress that both Labour and Tories have made on this issue lately.
As for not signing the EDM, IDS is not alone in taking the line that 'they're not effective.' Strikes me as a chicken/egg situation, in that if high-profile MPs don't give EDMs their backing they're that much less likely to achieve the media coverage they're designed to elicit. It would of course have been a boost to see Mr. Duncan Smith sign the EDM, but it is fair to say that despite not doing so the libel reform campaign can count on his support - what remains to be seen is that with the Lib Dems, many Tories and Labour politicians joining in the campaign for reform, whether the next government's resolve, no matter what its makeup, is strong enough to pass new legislation early on in the new Parliament so that our fundamental right to free expression and debate without fear of persecution is protected. | 2019-04-24T02:02:44 | http://teekblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/iain-duncan-smiths-response-to.html |

Out of the 1000’s of exhibitors at the 2019 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market show these brands and products stood out from the rest and will surely continue to become industry leaders in going green.
Regardless of how much greenwashing the outdoor industry promotes, the manufacturing of skis, snowboards, hardgoods and soft goods, for the most part, is toxic to our environment. Some brands are making a stand by creating gear using recycled goods, some are using renewable resources while others are focusing on the overall footprint their manufacturing process creates and a few select brands are even taking a stand on Fair-trade practices.
2019 is a big year for a company you’ve most likely never heard of until now, reDEW8. reDEW8 is the makes of jeans that use no cotton. Zero Cotton it’s called saves around 1,800 gallons of water per jeans by simply using renewable fibers instead of cotton, for these jeans reDEW8 is instead using denim woven from wood fibers. Yes, you head that right, wooden jeans, that are super soft to the touch with a lightweight feel.
DPS Skis introduced their Phantom Wax last year which won a ton of awards. Recently studies have come out showing high levels of toxic Elevated perfluorocarboxylate levels in humans after using fluorinated ski wax. You know the sort of wax you need to open windows when applying. Worse yet people living near facilities that manufacture these waxes are even seeing higher levels of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in their water sources. So why does the DPS Phantom 2.0 Work, once applied you will never need to wax your skis or boards again. Traditional iron on wax only lasts for months if not shorter before needing to be re-applied. Best of all you can now apply the DPS Phantom 2.0 Base Glide Treatment at home in direct sunlight, although the UV machine shown here looks pretty darn rad available at local ski shops around the globe.
With the world’s first 100% recycled apparel line, Jack Wolfskin is surely set to be a big player in the outer world space moving forward. The Texapore Ecosphere recycled collection features a ton of green initiatives including the use of fleece made of recycled bottles. The entire 2020 apparel line including bags, and packs are 100 percent PFC free. Even with the materials being recycled on the apparel this outwear still offers a nice soft yet flexible feel. The days of stiff recycled plastic bottle jackets are long gone. Be sure to keep the https://www.jack-wolfskin.com/Jack Wolfskin brand on your radar.
One of the brands that stood out the most at the show which totally flies under the radar is Niche Snowboards. Niche-based in Salt Lake City, Utah has a zero waste snowboard factory that recycles all of its used materials. This is something the entire industry should strive for. Niche uses a process called Recyclamaine which is able to reuse their epoxy resins. All these materials can be broken down via Niche Snowboards secret sauce allowing the materials to be repurposed and recycled. The only question becomes can green snowboards hold up in terms of durability.
Staying hydrated in the winter is much tougher than the summer. Just think how many times you wake up after riding or skiing with a dry mouth. 686 wants to change that while saving a ton of waste in the process. The new 686 Hydrajstash Jacket has a build in 25 oz. hydration reservoir that sits in the waist area as opposed to other reservoirs that sit on your shoulders. So why is this green? 686 hopes to cut down on waste at ski resorts by ditching the tiny little water cups in the day lodge, by instead just rocking your 686 Hydrastash Jacket with a built-in supply of water. I can see this being super rad to hydrate on a chairlift, gondola or heck even mid-run.
Everyone loves a good story about the little guys turning into a successful business owner. That’s surely the case with Phunkshun Wear makers of some of the most comfortable face masks out there that are now made 100% out of recycled water bottles. If Phunkshun can make recycled material feel this cozy against your face the entire industry should be taking note. Phunkshun Wear founder Lonny Goldwasser started the company while working as a ski instructor in summit county Colorado. Instructors spend a lot of time on snow and now what works and don’t. Phunkshun Wear is the industry leaders in face masks and for good reason, they truly work, and not just for skiing and riding but can be used year round.
The manufacturing of skis and snowboards for the most part if not sustainable, aside from brands like Meier Skis. How is Meier Skis able to commit to being green? Well, they use reclaimed pine beetle kill for the wood in their skis. These trees are essentially standing dead and primed for major forest fires. The wood is not usable in the traditional lumber mills and has limited use, that is until Meier skis started using this existing natural resource to help make their skis. With the use of pine beetle wood in the core, when skiing on Meier skis you get a nice flex and rebound to the ski. Best of all these guys can even make custom graphics for your skis. This smaller company will soon be taking a big chunk out of the ski industry market share om terms of ski quality and popularity. Meier Skis based in Colorado has seen great growth year after year.
How does 100% recycle, biodegradable synthetic insulation sound? Primaloft has set out to make insulation a little less harmful to the environment by offering a new line of insulation known as PrimaLoft® Bio that is not only made of 100% recycled materials, more importantly, this material is now biodegradable. Current test show 80% of the PrimaLoft® Bio is biodegradable in 395 days. What’s cool about this material is it can even biodegrade in the ocean, where so much of our consumer goods end up. Synthetic insulation is around us at all times from our gloves to our jackets, sleeping bags and even our beds use these materials for warmth. The one question becomes will this biodegradable material hold up to heavy use in a puffy per say. Most likely the answer is yes.
Spark R&D makers of the most reliable and durable splitboard bindings on the market has committed to going green by purchasing solar panels to help power their manufacturing facility in Bozeman, MT. These 50kW solar panels are able to offset about 25% of Spark’s energy consumption by using unused space on the roof of their new manufacturing facility. For other brands or business looking to go green like Spark R&D there are tons of programs available out there that will even help to pay for the cost of installing these panels. Another way to do something similar is to request green energy from your local power company. We made the switch to using wind power at our office via the local energy company and only saw a slight increase to our electric bill to the tune of around $100 extra per year. If Spark R&D can power C&C machines with solar, the rest of the industry should be able to follow.
DENVER, CO – In years past we have given out awards for Editors Choice, Best of Show and so forth. This year I wanted to take a different approach and highlight products from the Outdoor Retailer 2018 Summer Market that are being made with green ethical standards, brands that are working toward reducing the harm we have placed on the environment and most importantly manufacturing of sustainable goods.
First up on the list comes from our friends at Ruffwear. Ruffwear created the Restcycle™ Bed, a super comfy Baffled dog bed that’s filled with recycled foam that normally ends up in a landfill. The factory Ruffwear uses for manufacturing, also makes backpacks for another brand, so when Ruffwear saw a bunch of waste, they had an ah-ha moment, let’s use these punch outs to fill a dog bed. Say goodbye to dead spots as the Restcycle™ Bed will always have amble padding even if you have the sort of dog that likes to spin in circles endlessly before laying down. Even the removable cover is made of recycled good, kudos Ruffwear.
We can grow marijuana in the United States of America, however, we cannot legally grow hemp? Luckily brands like Astral are willing to source hemp from other countries to bring a line of hemp, recycled polyester shoes. The Hemp Baker, Hemp Loyak, and Hemp Maria shoes not only look good, they feel incredibly soft. Hemp takes less water to produce than cotton, offers great anti-microbial properties and can be used for hiking, casual walking and just about everything in between. If you haven’t tried on a pair of Astral’s your truly missing out.
Starting in Spring of 2019 Toad&Co is taking an even more sustainable approach by announcing that 100% of all styles will not meet the companies eCo standard. Currently, 90% of their products are eco-friendly, made with organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester, wool and more. Terms like bluesign® or STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certifications will soon become the norm within the outdoor space. Does your favorite clothing brand have a similar message? If not it’s time to see what organic, natural materials feel like against your skin. Be sure to keep Toad&Co on your radar as this company is growing quickly with great products and a strong environmental – socially conscious brand message.
It’s estimated around 640,000 tons of discarded fishing nets are left in the ocean every year. Old fishing nets are bad news, they have been known to kill dolphins, harm reefs and ever worse leave pollutants in the ocean which are worse than any other plastics out there. So when Costa Sunglasses teamed up with Buero to manufacture a line out high-end sunglasses out of used fishing nets, we got really interested. Turns out the sunglasses are made by recycling the old fishing nets into tiny pellets which then get molded into frames for sunglasses. How cool is that?
How many corks does it take to make a pair of sandals? I’m not sure but what’s really cool is when a brand like SOLE can take a bunch of old wine corks and blend them together to create a pair of sandals or foot-beds out of the recycled materials. Do you recycle? Most likely the answer is yes, so the question becomes how much gear do you own that’s actually recycled? Ponder that for a second.. With recycled cork footbeds and sandals like these from SOLE, the feel is a bit on the stiff side which works best for people that have less mobility in their feet.
Kelty teamed up with Preserve, for their Camp Kitchen line which is 100% recycled Everyday Dishes that can be used and reused forever. The Camp Kitchen from Kelty is the first product in the Preserve’s line specifically designed for the outdoors. And it surely won’t be the last. Preserve not only makes stuff out of 100% recycled goods, they want your #5 plastic—such as yogurt cups and other common household containers to be recycled—via Preserve’s Gimme 5 program. All recycling and manufacturing is done in the USA taking #5 plastics and turning them into new Preserve products. Win- Win.
The Lakpa Jacket from Sherpa Adventure Gear is a great high-end sustainable piece of outerwear that will rival all the big name manufacturers. Named after Lakpa Rita, the first Sherpa/gear tester to climb all the 7 summits, the Lapka Jacket is waterproof, breathable and has Nepalese inlays making this a super stylish jacket. Sherpa Adventure Gear got its OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification which means the Lapka material, along with everything from the threads used for sewing to the inserts and even all non-textile stuff like buttons, zippers, rivets and more has been certified. Since 2003 Sherpa Adventure Gear has helped to provide quality working conditions and educational opportunities in Nepal including the Empowering women through meaningful employment in Nepal program. | 2019-04-25T08:48:08 | https://mtnweekly.com/reviews/outdoor-retailer-environmental-friendly-product-award-winners/ |

Ahead of the first presidential debate Democrat Hillary Clinton gets mixed results in two key battleground states, while Republican Trump holds a comfortable lead in one-time swing state that has been trending red in recent elections.
Although down from her commanding 12-point lead last month, Clinton still leads by a comfortable eight points in Virginia, with 45% to Trump’s 37% among likely voters. The previous poll was taken in early August, in the midst of Clinton’s post-convention polling bounce.
Colorado is a much closer race. Clinton garners only 40%, giving her only a nominal one point lead over Trump, at 39%. This is exactly in line with where the race was when the Battleground Tracker last polled Colorado in June, before the conventions.
And in Missouri – where Obama nearly eked out a win in 2008, but lost by nine points to Mitt Romney in 2012 – Donald Trump also leads by nine points, with 46% to Clinton’s 37%. Once a true bellwether state, Missouri has trended Republican over the past two decades.
Obama won Colorado and Virginia by similar margins in 2012 – Colorado by five and Virginia by four. Due to rapidly shifting racial demographics, large college-educated populations, and late-summer polls that gave Clinton double-digit leads in both states, Colorado and Virginia are often placed in the same category of competitive states that might not be so competitive in 2016. But this poll reveals some important differences between the two.
For example, Clinton loses white voters by similar margins in each, trailing Trump by seven points in Colorado and 11 in Virginia. However, while the largely African-American non-white population of Virginia backs Clinton by an overwhelming 71-16, the largely Hispanic non-white population of Colorado supports Clinton by only 53-24. Thirteen percent of non-whites in Colorado pick a third party candidate, while 11% are undecided or don't plan to vote.
Indeed voters in Colorado, particularly young voters, are particularly likely to be undecided or opt for third party candidates. Among 18-29 year olds Clinton wins only 39% support, while Libertarian Gary Johnson, at 18%, has almost as much support as Donald Trump, at 21%. Another 6% support the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein. 39% of young voters in Colorado say they would “never consider” voting for Clinton – though 60% say the same for Donald Trump. Gary Johnson's support is actually the same (18%) among Virginia under-30s, but Clinton gets 48% and Trump 24%.
Another big difference is how many partisan voters support their party's nominees. In Colorado, Clinton has virtually no advantage in this respect: 86% of self-identified Democrats back her and 84% of Republicans back Trump. In Virginia, however, Trump wins only 73% of Republicans, while 93% of Democrats back Clinton.
And Colorado voters are more likely to see Trump as prepared to deal with major issues. Roughly 48% of Colorado voters say Donald Trump “can fix the economy” and 46% say he “has the right approach to terrorism”. Only 35% say the same for Clinton on the economy and 39% on terrorism. In Virginia, Clinton is three points over Trump on terrorism (46% to 43%) and only two points behind on the economy (41% to 43%).
Winning Colorado (9 electoral votes) and Virginia (13) would also significantly shore up Clinton's path to 270: add Colorado and Virginia to the states John Kerry won in 2004 and Clinton is already at 273 electoral votes – that is, without Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio or Florida.
Missouri appears to have fewer surprises in store. Some polls had suggested the race might be surprisingly close – a potential harbinger to something like Obama’s unexpectedly strong performance in 2008, when he lost Missouri by only 0.1%.
But the Battleground Tracker finds Trump leading by nine, driven by strong support among white voters, who back Trump over Clinton by 54% to 27%. In an unusual case for 2016, Trump also performs slightly better among self-identified Republicans, 84% of whom back their party’s nominee, than Clinton does among Democrats, 79% of whom back her.
Interviews were conducted September 21-23, 2016 for the CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker. A detailed description of the methodology used to carry out the surveys can be found here.

At first glance, for many, New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry might seem pretty benign, even romantic and quaint. However, like most animal industries, there is much that is disguised, distorted, and hidden from public view. In the documentary Blinders: The Truth Behind the Tradition, filmmaker Donny Moss gives the viewer an intimate — and frequently startling — picture of the horses who not only labour in poor conditions, but who also find scant comfort in their resting stalls. Despite their years toiling in dangerous streets or standing in cramped and barren housing, most horses do not retire to sanctuary at the end of their thankless working lives, but instead are shipped to slaughter. In this interview, Moss talks about what surprised him most about the industry, and why he believes that a ban is the only way to really help the horses.

As a certain group of right-wing American Catholics continues to promote free market fundamentalism—sometimes very amiably with rhetorical commitments to a (diminished) social safety net and maybe even with a nod to an increase in the earned income tax credit—Pope Francis has once again affirmed the Church’s fundamental opposition to this ideology (however cleverly marketed) and the idolatry that often drives it.
While right-wing defenders of libertarian economics should be deeply challenged by the pope’s call for an economy of communion (along with over a century and a quarter of formal Catholic teaching), those of us who actually value Church teaching and orthodoxy should also reflect upon our own biases and assumptions. A market mentality permeates much of American culture, including the thinking of many in the center and even on the left. I sincerely doubt that, given my American background, I am immune from certain biases that pull me from identifying the best path to integral human development, global economic justice, and the common good.
It is easy to cast stones at Catholics who (against Church teaching) believe that access to food or healthcare is a privilege to be earned, rather than a right. It is easy to cast stones at those who delude themselves into believing that the economic growth under China’s state capitalism shows the efficacy of free enterprise and small government, or that the Great Depression and Great Recession were caused primarily by excessive government intervention in otherwise virtuous markets, or any other delusions that ideologues cook up while promoting policies that create the throwaway culture. It is much harder to check one’s own assumptions and ensure that we too are not complicit in this culture or guilty of being capitalists first and Christians second.
We cannot understand the new Kingdom offered by Jesus if we do not free ourselves of idols, of which money is one of the most powerful.
When capitalism makes the seeking of profit its only purpose, it runs the risk of becoming an idolatrous framework, a form of worship.
Tax avoidance and evasion which, before being illegal acts, are acts which deny the basic law of life: mutual care.
The principal ethical dilemma of this capitalism is the creation of discarded people, then trying to hide them or make sure they are no longer seen.
The economy of communion, if it wants to be faithful to its charism, must not only care for the victims, but build a system where there are ever fewer victims, where, possibly, there may no longer be any. As long as the economy still produces one victim and there is still a single discarded person, communion has not yet been realized; the celebration of universal fraternity is not full.
We must work toward changing the rules of the game of the socio-economic system.
May the ‘no’ to an economy that kills become a ‘yes’ to an economy that lets live, because it shares, includes the poor, uses profits to create communion. | 2019-04-24T19:58:43 | https://millennialjournal.com/2017/02/08/pope-francis-challenges-profit-obsessed-capitalism-and-our-complacency/ |

Old school meets new school in this fresh approach to the classic IPA. At 50 IBU’s and 6.7% ABV, Breaking Bud features the restrained bitterness and alcohol of a classic IPA with newer tropical fruit hop flavors and aromas of Mosaic. Also in the hop mix are Simcoe and CTZ, creating layers of mango, passion fruit, pine and dank. A malt bill with a pinch of crystal malt and a hefty dose of flaked wheat keeps the beer crisp while adding flavor complexity.

Top 8 Sega Series We Want Back NOW!
From the Mega Drive to the ill-fated Dreamcast, Sega's consoles played host to a huge number of brilliant games across every genre imaginable. It was never a question that Sonic the Hedgehog would live on, but over the years, a number of cool and quirky series faded into quiet obscurity. A recent survey from Sega of Japan asked its overseas fans which of their favorite franchises they'd like to see brought back from the dead, and that got us pondering our own halcyon days spent with Sega titles past. It is with our eyes locked firmly upon the rearview mirror that we bring you this list of eight long-lost games and series we'd love to revisit on modern consoles. | 2019-04-19T02:49:04 | http://lists.cheatcc.com/533 |

President Donald J. Trump slammed social media and big tech. today for their censorship of conservative voices, arguing that mainstream media sites like CNN and MSNBC are allowed to post fake news without punishment and that "censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police."
Earlier in August, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was removed from various social media platforms such as Facebook and Youtube. Many critics warned that despite Jones espousing arguably fringe views and outright lies, the censorship of non-leftist thinkers would continue and target conservative thinkers and remove conservatives from various platforms.
CRTV's Gavin McInnes was recently kicked off Twitter for reasons unknown, other than that he supposedly violated their guidelines. But, conservatives have long argued that even if these social media websites do not explicitly block an individual or organization from using their platform, that the company would in effect place a "shadow ban" on their accounts and prevent their followers from seeing their tweets. James O'Keefe's Project Veritas even recorded Twitter engineers discussing how they planned on preventing certain viewpoints from being aired on their platform.
"Yeah. That’s something we’re working on. It’s something we’re working on. We’re trying to get the sh*tty people to not show up," one engineer said on a recorded video. "It’s a product thing we’re working on right now.” As further evidence showed, "sh*tty" in this case would mean anybody who was tweeting about guns, God, or the flag or other right-leaning viewpoints.
While that video purports to show what happens behind the scenes at just Twitter, many on the right fear that this sort of shadowbanning occurs on all left-wing platforms that spring out of the liberal Silicon Valley. Just last night, Dennis Prager's "Prager U" showed statistics highlighting that despite having nearly 3 million followers on Facebook, their most recent 9 posts were seen by zero of their followers.
Likewise, several of their videos were errantly marked as hateful. CRTV's Allie Beth Stuckey recently filmed a video for Prager U discussing toxic masculinity that was taken down, but Facebook apologized and claimed it was a "mistake."
Given the relatively new influence of social media in American society, it is not obvious what steps forward the government can, or should, take to prevent censorship in political discourse on privately owned websites. The president's tweets appear to indicate that he wants to address the issue but given that conservatives often argue against market interference the exact remedy to the solution remains unclear. | 2019-04-21T18:19:54 | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2018/08/18/trump-calls-out-social-media-censorship-as-big-tech-silences-prageru-other-conse-n2510989?utm_campaign=inarticle |

Come meet filmmaker Stephen Most on Sunday at the Siskiyou FilmFest during the Oregon Premiere of his film Wilder than Wild: Fire, Forests, and the Future ! This impactful Film by Stephen Most and Kevin White will take you on a journey that is not only wild but so relevant to our home here in Southern Oregon.
Stephen Most is a writer and filmmaker. He is the author of River of Renewal, Myth and History in the Klamath Basin (University of Washington Press, 2006), and of Stories Make the World, Reflections on Storytelling and the Art of the Documentary (Berghahn Books, 2017). He is the writer/producer of the documentary River of Renewal, which won the “best documentary feature” award at the American Indian Film Festival, and of Wilder than Wild: Fire, Forests, and the Future, a documentary about wildfires and climate change, which won the San Francisco Green Film Fest’s 2018 Green Fire Award for Best SF Bay Area Environmental Feature. Wilder than Wild focuses on our local Klamath region as well as other fire-impacted areas on the west coast.
Most began his playwriting career with the award-winning POE, which the Organic Theatre produced twice in Chicago. He co-wrote LOON’S RAGE, which launched the DellArte Players Company. His other plays are MEDICINE SHOW, CROSSING BORDERS (for the San Francisco Mime Troupe), RAVEN’S SEED, WATERSHED, A FREE COUNTRY, and FORCES OF NATURE.
Documentary films Most has scripted include Oil On Ice, which is about the controversy over drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge; A Land Between Rivers, a history of central California; and Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time. Wonders of Nature, which he wrote for the Great Wonders of the World series, won an Emmy for best special non-fiction program. The Bridge So Far: A Suspense Story, won a best-documentary Emmy. Promises, on which he worked as Consulting Writer and Researcher, won Emmys for best documentary and outstanding background analysis and research and was nominated for an Academy Award. Berkeley in the Sixties, which he co-wrote, also received an Academy Award nomination for best documentary. Nature’s Orchestra, which he wrote and produced, was broadcast in the PBS seriesNatural Heroes.
In addition to A Land Between Rivers and Berkeley in the Sixties, the historical documentaries Most has written include four scripts for the 26-part series Bridging World History; Bound by the Wind, a film about the history of nuclear testing; and The Greatest Good, a history of the US Forest Service. Most created “Theater of History” for the permanent exhibit of the Washington State History Museum: more than ninety audio voices spoken by characters from various aspects of the State’s history are represented by American Indian masks, monochromatic mannequins, and photographs on stage sets and in dioramas. His play A FREE COUNTRY, which was produced by the Seattle Group Theatre in 1997, is based on the characters in the Hooverville shack diorama. His book In the Presence of the Past describes the approach to representing history taken by the Washington State Historical Society in creating their permanent exhibit.
Come see Stephen’s thought-provoking film Wilder than Wild: Fire, Forests, and the Future for yourself this coming Sunday, February 10 at the 17th Annual Siskiyou FilmFest in Grants Pass, Oregon. Stephen along with special guests from the film Elizabeth Azzuz and Margo Robbins will be in attendance for the Oregon premiere and to take questions from the audience and discuss his film, which focuses on our region, the Klamath Basin.

Hola! Llevo un par de días utilizando la aplicación desde mi televisor Samsung y estaba funcionando muy bien hasta hoy porque pongo cualquier canción y se detiene cada 2-5 segundos, lo conecte a mi celular, lo apague y desconecte un par de minutos y sigue sucediendo lo mismo... ☹️ ¿Alguien sabe una soluciona?
Thanks for getting in touch. Hope it's okay if we reply in English!
We'd like to ask you if you could remove Spotify from your Smart TV and preform a soft-reset on both your TV and Router. In the meantime, reinstall the app on your mobile device. How to do this you can read here.
Try moving the router and TV closer to eachother in case it's not working. That way we can find out if this is aan issue cause due to a lesser connection.
Hope that helps! Let us know what the result is and we'll be happy to help. | 2019-04-18T20:17:21 | https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/TV-SAMSUNG-La-m%C3%BAsica-se-detiene/m-p/4677715 |
WISC Partners is a UW alumni-driven strategic operating capital fund that invests at the early stage primarily in Wisconsin technology companies. Our investment approach is a hybrid that borrows from the playbooks of early stage accelerators like Gener8tor or TechStars as well as from private equity. We invest to provide strategic operating capital but importantly, our model also includes mentoring, connections and coaching aimed as driving liquidity events. We target our Fund I at $25 million. Our LP’s thus far are primarily alumni who have been successful in Silicon Valley – as such they have networks and company building experience that we use to amplify the growth and speed the exit of our portfolio companies. In effect, our formula aims to import some of what makes the Valley special so that Midwest-based bright minds and emerging companies don’t have to leave for CA. | 2019-04-24T14:27:59 | https://thenetworkconnect.com/directory/wisc-partners/ |
Slant Eye For The Round Eye: Quotable: The Real Deal. Straight Up.
In continued defense of online dating, I feel compelled to say this much. If I could tap my Ruby Slippers three times and return West, back to the land of Pre-Lie, for every time that I was lied to in the presumably safer world of traditional face-to-face dating (or counted those times that I have lied to someone …. yes, I can acknowledge.

Recently, while at an event during sustainability week at UC Santa Barbara, I got to chatting with some students about sustainability and the future of our food supply. Being in the agricultural distribution industry, I often find myself in conversations such as these. That day, my eyes were opened to things I did not know and it left a big impression on me. I learned that by the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth’s population will reside in urban centers. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. This prompted me to research on the subject; what can be done about this? What are our options? Some experts say there is a possible solution: indoor farming, or more precisely, viable, vertical farming.
Greenhouse growing has been around for years, but using greenhouse methods to grow in levels vertically, as opposed to horizontally, are more recent and provide a much more efficient use of space. Some say that in the years to come, this will be the prevailing method for farming. I figured that since I am in the produce business, I better know where we are headed!
Although we are lucky to live in a region where the sun shines almost 300 days a year and produces the best produce in the world, we are still subject to Mother Nature. Weather dependent crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers simply, will not grow in the soil here, year round. Lucky for us, enter the hydroponic, hothouse grown versions. In the winter, when our customers lament about the pale, tasteless tomatoes, I always recommend hothouse grown. The industry has gotten so good at producing these, that you almost, can’t tell the difference. In fact, some customers prefer them to the farm grown. Another bonus is that we are only a stone’s throw away from many of these growers; among them, some of the most famous for the living lettuces seen everywhere.
I recently toured a butter lettuce facility and was blown away by their operation. They turn out millions of heads of beautiful butter lettuce a year, using a completely closed system. What takes 30 days to grow in the field, takes them 15 days, using 95 percent less water, about 50 percent less fertilizer, and zero pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. As a reference to the popularity, The Berryman sells over 80,000 heads per year. The current technology allows for pretty much anything to be grown hydroponically, from potatoes to melons to corn. But is that what we want? Is farming indoors a betrayal to traditional farmers?
In short, vertical farming is just traditional farming, with a substitute for the soil and sunlight; moved to a warehouse with nutrient fortified water and wired with LEDs. I must admit, I feel a little funny supporting a concept that deviates from the story of the farmer and his fields. To me, the latter is a much more romantic story of nature; stewarding the land, the sun rising and setting on Nature’s majesty. The alternative sounds like a chemistry lab with its bright lights and closed environment, but isn’t that something we should get our heads wrapped around, considering we are heading for some serious issues with no apparent solutions using traditional methods?
What will be the fate of the soil farms? Will they be a thing of the past? Will we lose our connection to nature by growing and consuming food grown in controlled environments? The answer is: probably not. The current technology for indoor farming is still costly. It’s an environmental solution, but still has its drawbacks. Certain crops are simply too expensive to be grown indoors, i.e., it would cost $25.00 worth of light and energy resources to produce enough wheat indoors, to make one loaf of bread. | 2019-04-19T03:31:25 | https://theberryman.com/wordpress/?p=4790 |

Today I went to an AA meeting, and the topic was on spiritual awakenings. Such a juicy topic that is.
I've had a taste of both. When it comes to "burning bush" experiences of the dramatic variety, you can read about two colorful episodes in my recovery story on this website. One was psychedelically-induced; the other was a result of sober practices that promote purification and opening of the nervous system. Each was special in their own right, but it's the sober variety that has stuck with me over the long term. Psychedelics are just too tricky.
AYP is quite clear about the pitfalls of seeking peak experiences and/or clinging to them when they do arise. There's nothing wrong with peak experiences, per se; it's just that we should take them in stride. For this reason, AYP promotes a gradual and permanent awakening that is stable and rock solid. That way, when the occasional fireworks do burst forth in a grand display of ecstasy, we are prepared to enjoy the scenery without being overly obsessed with such sirens. We easily favor the practices, rather than the effects produced by the practices. The special effects will take care of themselves; we just have to tend to the causes.
In today's meeting, an old-timer recalled his early days of sobriety when he had attended a meeting and heard a woman describe her peak experience. Apparently, she had been ironing clothes, when suddenly, her laundry room was bathed in an ethereal light. Upon hearing the story, the old-timer went home that night and began to vigorously iron all of his clothes! Needless to say, he was disappointed when he didn't get doused with celestial moonshine and heavenly glory. But I sure don't blame him for trying. That kind of effort is definitely a sign of bhakti, which is the fuel that sustains our path of enlightenment.
In AYP, we iron our clothes with practices like Deep Meditation, Spinal Breathing Pranayama, Samyama, and Karma Yoga—to name a few. These practices enhance our life in a such a way that makes even mundane circumstances enjoyable. For instance, one of the symptoms that has been recurring for me is robust laughter, about the smallest things, and among co-workers and friends. The diaphragm starts pulsating spasmodically, and then joy arises and illuminates my perception. Then I don't care about fancy dimensions so much, because there is so much pleasure right here in front of me.
Like a wave that peaks into a crest and then breaks into a trough, so does our journey unfold. Only our steady and intelligent devotion will allow us to ride the wave successfully, through the ups and downs.
I had a “spiritual awakening” when I was about 8-years-old. (I was completely sober).
I felt a presence enter my body (I shuddered as if ice cubes had been poured down my back). It wasn’t gradual. I don’t know if it was God or the Holy Spirit or simply enlightenment…but I know it was spiritual. And again, I was 8. | 2019-04-24T14:38:27 | http://ayprecovery.org/blog-7-spiritual-awakening-and-peak-experiences/ |
Today we remember the miracle of St Theodore and the boiled wheat. Fifty years after the death of St Theodore, the emperor Julian the Apostate (361-363), wanting to commit an outrage upon the Christians, commanded the city-commander of Constantinople during the first week of Great Lent to sprinkle all the food provisions in the marketplaces with the blood offered to idols. St Theodore appeared in a dream to Archbishop Eudoxius, ordering him to inform all the Christians that no one should buy anything at the marketplaces, but rather to eat cooked wheat with honey (kolyva).
In memory of this occurrence, the Orthodox Church annually celebrates the holy Great Martyr Theodore the Recruit on the first Saturday of Great Lent. On Friday evening, at the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts following the prayer at the ambo, the Canon to the holy Great Martyr Theodore, composed by St John of Damascus, is sung. After this, kolyva is blessed and distributed to the faithful. The celebration of the Great Martyr Theodore on the first Saturday of Great Lent was set by the Patriarch Nectarius of Constantinople (381-397).
The Troparion to St Theodore is quite similar to the Troparion for the Prophet Daniel and the Three Holy Youths (December 17, Sunday Before Nativity). The Kontakion to St Theodore, who suffered martyrdom by fire, reminds us that he also had faith as his breastplate (see I Thessalonians 5:8).
Offering himself as sweet bread to the Trinity.
So by his prayers, O Christ God, save our souls!
With its aid, you overcame the power of the enemy.
Therefore you are crowned in eternity with a heavenly diadem. | 2019-04-26T12:06:06 | http://stlukeorthodox.com/html/iconography/newicon-b.cfm |

I told you to save your 4th of July watermelon rinds for watermelon rind pickles!!!
I first shared this easy watermelon rind pickles recipe in July 2012. I will be making them again this week, so I thought I would dig it out and freshen it up a bit. This recipe for watermelon pickles is so easy and they are great for summer picnics or summer hostess gifts!!!
I hate to waste anything…”Waste not, want not,” my Grandmother used to say. I learned well. I verge on the cusp of hoarder…but it ‘s all fun stuff I can make art with…right?
This is a great starter recipe for pickling. Watermelon pickles are tasty and pretty easy to do for pickles. So buy a medium sized watermelon (I prefer seedless) enjoy the fruit and save the rinds. I usually keep a bag in the fridge for a few days and drop the rinds in as we eat it. You need to peel the dark green off for my recipe, but I have seen people leave it on. It makes them crunchier.
Peel watermelon rind and chop it into 1″ pieces. Mix water and salt until salt is dissolved to make brine. I usually let this happen while I peel the watermelon rind. Place rind pieces in large bowl (not metal) with the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight (24 hours).
In large soup pot place vinegar and sugar. Stir until blended (sugar will not be dissolved). Add spices and bring to a full boil. Lower heat to medium. Add watermelon rind slowly so it does not splash on you!!! I use a large slotted spoon. Place a ceramic plate on top of mix to hold the rind down under the liquid. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour (less if you like crunchy pickles).
Place rind in clean, sterilized canning jars. I use the small decorative kind so I can give them as gifts. Cover with pickling juice. Cover tightly and put in fridge immediately. They will be hot, so don’t burn yourself. Pour the rest of the juice into another canning jar and save. It can be used again.
This makes about 4-6 small jars, 2-3 pint jars. | 2019-04-23T14:49:50 | https://www.cre8tivecompass.com/easy-watermelon-rind-pickles-recipe/ |

I was going to say that's a very odd/exotic looking cake (looking like fruit salad ), but then I realised it's little roses around the numbers... Looks great!
I love the Hannibal slavegirl one, and the Aminta picture. Very rare!
Rosemary Ashe. I know I'm in minority, but I really love that original Elissa skirt.
Birgit Lyngholm, swing in Denmark. She's played every female ensemble role except the seamstress/dresser! But the "Green lady" costume was her main costume unless she followed someone else's track. Pics posted with permission.
and does anyone know who this is?
No, the one she linked to at the bottom.
Here's that first picture. I KNOW I have the second one, but I can't find it.
Josefine interviewing Danish Phantom Preben Kristensen AKA "the small Phantom". He was marvellous in action! As was Josefine. My fav. part must be the named Phantom's facial expression when Josefine said "You have this... organ... and I've played this organ..."
I've always loved this photo of Helen Hayes with Jeff Keller as The Phantom. I remember saving it when it was posted at PFN and, somehow, it's survived at least three or four computer crashes.
I used to have one or two other photos of Jeff and I know they survived the crash...I just can't find them right now.
And apologies if they're huge, if someone can tell me how to post as thumbnails I would be very grateful!
Sarah looks so lovely in that first picture.
As for posting thumbnails, you should have an option for a code labeled "IMG Thumbnail" in Photobucket (if not, you should be able to turn that on in your link options). It's will post a thumbnail version that will link to the original in your album. That's what I did for a couple of mine in the Fans Week thread.
I love that SB pic on page 1! Looks late West End (or early B'way?) - is the year 1987 correct?

I think it looks West End too, that flowery design on the skirt portion looks the same as Maria Kesselman's costume.
Yes, I think the original West End costumes was the only ones making the Rooftop dress into a (semi-) proper Robe a la Française, as the costume design suggests. What Brightman wears in the photo looks like these West End dresses - but the dark eye makeup and the looser curls looks more Broadway, somehow. Maybe she didn't always sport that blue eye shadow and big wig in West End?
Basically an overdress worn over a decorated petticoat and an even more decorated stomacher (but the wide hips and the folds in the back separates it from the forerunner mantua and other similar garbs).
The dress is probably Broadway, since before the performance ALW made a comment about the "international nature of musical theatre".
I love this picture of Sarah on the roof of the Opera Garnier... what a brave girl to face those scary heights! This was from an article in Vogue, if I remember correctly.

How funny... my good friend/old roomie made that dress! It's actually in my room right now, as she was going to let me borrow it if I didn't get my Star Princess gown done in time for Vegas... What a small world!
It's absolutely gorgeous, too. It reminds me of a yellow brocade dress - which was somewhat simpler since it was from Colonial New York - that is on display in the New York State Museum. The Museum is just down the street from me and I've been lustifying after that yellow dress for years.
OMG small world!! I choose that picture cause the clean colours and cut shows the important main features of that style of dress well - I had no idea it was related to any of you! Give big compliments to your friends for a lovely garb, she's really understood history with that one.
God I love those pictures of Sarah. To be honest, I could never tell who it was because I had always seen low quality shots or avatars made of them. So thanks for posting!
Another of the shots of Sarah in the Garnier, taken 'down below'... lucky girl!
I love the pics from that photo shot. Does anyone have that one of her in the dressing room? | 2019-04-23T09:05:09 | http://desertedphans.forumotion.net/t423-rare-pictures-1 |
With 28 island nations and more than 7,000 islands across 2.754 million km², the Caribbean is a very big place, and with so many incredible destinations on offer, choosing where to go can often be an overwhelming experience.
Not everyone is as clued up on what makes each individual island so unique, so if you don’t know your Aruba from your Antigua or what separates Saint Martin from Saint Vincent, then we are here to help you get a better understanding of what some of the region’s most popular islands have to offer.
At 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, Barbados is deceptively compact considering its global reputation. But it’s good news for tourists because that means it’s small enough to drive around in a single day, and many seize the opportunity to hire a car to explore both sides of the island.
Pristine idyllic beaches can be found on every Caribbean island and Barbados is no different. Head to Bridgetown’s Carlisle Bay, Browne’s Beach and Pebbles Beach or Christ Church’s Miami Beach and Accra/Rockley Beach.
Barbados is also the birthplace of rum and pop star Rihanna, who was born and raised here and was recently named ‘Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary’ for the island.
Bridgetown has enough fascinating historic sites to earn it the title of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A walking tour of the capital will likely include National Heroes Square (formerly Trafalgar Square and home to Lord Nelson’s statue), St Michael’s Cathedral, the Bridgetown Jewish Synagogue and Parliament Buildings.
Similarly, Garrison Savannah – a historic military base – is worth checking out, with its beautiful Matthias Church, St Ann’s Fort ruins and the Savannah race course, which is still used for many sporting activities today. It’s a great place to fly a kite, go jogging or just watch the world go by.
Rum fans will love it in Barbados. The island is home to the Mount Gay Distillery, which was founded in 1703 making it the world's oldest remaining rum company and serving as solid supporting evidence for its ‘birthplace of rum’ claim. Several other distilleries can be found on the island including St Nicholas Abbey and Foursquare Distilleries, as well as an estimated 1,500 rum shops across the island.
Oistins is a town on the country’s south coast, and on a Friday night, Oistins Bay Gardens plays host to ‘fish fry,’ an informal outdoor grill using fresh Bajan ingredients, prepared right in front of you. Whether you’re looking for seafood, meat or a vegetarian option, you’ll find a vendor to pile your plate high with delicious island food.
Whatever the budget or whatever you want to get up to, Barbados is sure to please all.
Sandy Lane (one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious resorts), Fairmont Royal Pavilion (newly-renovated in 2018), Cobblers Cove (reminiscent of an English country house hotel and part of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection).
The mountainous volcanic island of Saint Lucia is the only island in the world with a drive-in volcano and the only sovereign nation to be named for a woman. No two parts of the island are alike – some areas offer bustling nightlife and beachside parties, while others offer opportunities to get away from it all and explore dense jungles and quiet vistas.
Two words: The Pitons. Situated on the southwestern coast of the island, these two volcanic plugs – the 2,530-foot-high Gros Piton and 2,438-foot Petit Piton – are perfect for hiking around, with exotic plants and animals to spot as you go.
You can also sail around them and admire the beauty and shape of the dormant volcanoes from the water. Pigeon Island is also great for nature and history lovers, with the chance to explore the ruins of Fort Rodney, built by the English to fight the French. Beach fans will love Anse Chastanet and Anse Mamin beaches, which are great for snorkeling and scuba diving.
With fantastic adults-only resorts like the wellness-focussed Rendezvous and the three-walled suites of Jade Mountain, Saint Lucia appeals to nature-loving, luxury-seeking couples keen to press mute on life. That’s not to say that families can’t have a good time on Saint Lucia though, with the likes of Coconut Bay Resort & Spa, which features Saint Lucia’s largest water park and the superb Cocoland kids club with its very own water feature and mini zip wire.
Given a full year, you could attempt that ‘different beach every day for a year’ challenge. However, with a shorter space of time to play with, you should prioritise Dickenson Bay, Pigeon Point Beach and Jolly Beach.
For those seeking a little adventure, head up to Shirley Heights - a fantastic vantage point with panoramic views. It's the best place in Antigua and Barbuda to catch a sunset, so make sure you don't forget your camera. Another Antiguan hotspot is Nelson's Dockyard which is perfect on a Sunday when they host a weekly barbecue. Feast on sumptuous Caribbean cuisine to the sound of live music against the backdrop of many boats.
Anyone who likes resort holidays with a couple of day trips thrown in.
Jamaica is famous for being the home of Bob Marley and reggae music, as well as beautiful beaches with white sands and bright blue waters. Jamaica can also lay claim to having the largest botanical gardens in the Caribbean, the 200-acre Hope Gardens. James Bond was created here, too: Ian Fleming wrote the Bond novels from his GoldenEye home in Jamaica - now part of the 52-acre GoldenEye Resort & Spa – and the first James Bond film, 1962’s Dr No, was filmed in Ocho Rios.
Jamaica is blessed with many lush waterfalls, and Dunn's River Falls near Ocho Rios has to be the most popular one of them all, receiving thousands of visitors each year. With hundreds of miles of coastline, there are many gorgeous beaches, too, namely Doctor’s Cave Beach, Rose Hall Beach and Cornwall Beach in Montego Bay, Seven Mile Beach in Negril and Boston Bay Beach in Port Antonio.
Anyone with even the slightest bit of affection for reggae will relish a tour around the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston. It is enclosed in a large, creaky, colonial-era wooden house on Hope Rd where Bob Marley lived from 1975 until his death in 1981. It’s here that the legend recorded some of his biggest hits including Jamming, Waiting in Vain, One Love and Redemption Song. Other notable attractions include Seville Great House and the unmissable National Gallery of Jamaica.
Foodies have a lot to thank Jamaica for. It’s the country that gave the world Jamaica blue mountain coffee – the world’s most expensive bean – and jerk chicken (although this special blend of spices can be applied to pork, fish or any meat with equally delicious results). Curious eaters should also try to check out Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and saltfish - a mouth-watering concoction of salted cod and ackee.
Everyone. Newlyweds, young families or retired couples will have no trouble making life-long memories in Jamaica. Many believe that the best family resorts lie on the west coast of the island (Montego Bay, Negril).
Beaches Ocho Rios, Sandals Montego Bay, Secrets Wild Orchid, Zoetry Montego Bay Jamaica. Jamaica has a tropical climate so it is generally warm and sunny any time of year. However, with hurricane season usually running from June to September, summer isn’t necessarily the best time to go.
“It’s better in The Bahamas,” so says the official website for this 700-island country. Just 50 miles off the coast of Florida, it’s certainly the more accessible destination in the Caribbean. It’s also the home of the famous (and adorable) swimming pigs.
Visit Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. It’s a bustling metropolitan hub full of culture and modern amenities, and just to the north is Paradise Island. The name says it all, with 685 acres of pure paradise with resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops, nightlife, a golf course, an aquarium and a casino.
It’s worth dropping by the Exumas too - an exotic collection of dream destinations, surrounded by sapphire-blue water with footprint-free beaches and ultra-exclusive resorts and islands fit for celebrities with private homes that regularly play host to some of the world’s most famous stars.
The water in the Bahamas is some of the clearest on the planet with a visibility of over 200 feet, so bring your snorkel. The rest of your time here can be filled with shopping, sightseeing, watersports, diving and dining.
Divers, A-list celebrities, pig fans.
Grenada is often referred to as the ‘Spice Island,’ a nickname earned due to being a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and even cocoa. It is blessed with some remarkable dive sites, awe-inspiring beaches, and dream-like waterfalls.
There’s no shortage of things to do in Grenada at any time of the year, and the island’s social calendar is looking packed for 2019, with events like Grenada Carnival and the Grenada Chocolate Fest.
Amongst the island’s 30 dive sites is the huge Bianca C cruise liner, dubbed ‘Titanic of the Caribbean’ which sank in 1961 and is now ranked amongst the top 10 wreck diving sites in the world.
Grand Anse - Grenada’s longest and best-known beach - is a two-mile stretch of sand guaranteed to wow beach lovers with pristine sherbet-white sand and glistening waters.
Divers, beach lovers, waterfall chasers.
Just off the coast of Venezuela is the tiny island of Aruba. It’s the very definition of a sun-soaked, Caribbean paradise and a must for any beach enthusiast.
It’s a popular beach destination with effortlessly clear turquoise waters and stretches of white sandy coast. Aruba’s beaches are some of the best in the world, notably Eagle Beach in Oranjestad - a great spot for turtle watching, with species such as the Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles nesting here.
No trip to Aruba would be complete without a stop at Arikok National Park. Covering almost a fifth of the Island, Arikok is especially known for its Conchi Pool, a natural pool shielded from the sea by jagged rock formations, and the Quadirikiri Caves, which have impressive stalagmites and stalactites. Arikok is also home to the Fontein Cave, with its historic painted walls, as well as Jamanota Hilltop, which provides panoramic island views.
This 87-square-kilometre island is split roughly 60/40 between the French Republic (named Saint-Martin) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten). Despite the uneven divide, the island’s population of 78,000 people is roughly equal and there’s no border to worry about.
This unique partnership means vacationers get to enjoy three distinct cultures, with the delightfulness and soberness of the Dutch on one side, the savoir-faire of the French on the other and the blending of both with exotic native heritage.
Despite its compact size, this laid-back island is home to dozens of beaches and lagoons, a mountain range, luxury hotels, elegant villas and more than 300 restaurants. Shopping on the island is duty-free and casinos, discos and night clubs stay open till dawn.
Anyone, but especially someone who likes the idea of flip-flopping between French and Dutch cultures in a single day.
Made up of 32 islands, Saint Vincent is lush, mountainous and agricultural with a 4,000-foot volcano. Saint Vincent has, to date, seen limited tourist development bar one large hotel complex. Its highlights include climbing a 4,000-foot volcano and catamaran trips up the dramatic west coast.
Some of the Grenadine islands like Mustique can be expensive but this is not the case with Saint Vincent. English is the main language spoken here, and there are a number of hotels, restaurants, and attractions for visitors to enjoy.
Tobago Cays offers some of the Caribbean’s best diving and snorkelling spots. Snorkelling here is world class with sea turtles and parrotfish just some of the species you’ll see.
Food lovers will happily drool over some of the most exciting menus to be found anywhere in the Caribbean.

LONDON (Reuters) - British fashion designer Alexander McQueen hanged himself in a wardrobe at his home in central London after leaving a note at the scene, an inquest into his death heard Wednesday.
Westminster Coroner’s Court was told the 40-year-old, whose full name was Lee Alexander McQueen, was found dead on Thursday morning at his apartment in Mayfair.
A post mortem examination found he died as a result of asphyxia and hanging.
A coroner’s officer said the inquest heard the note was being examined by police.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. The inquest was adjourned to April 28. | 2019-04-25T17:56:37 | https://ca.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idCATRE61G3PZ20100217 |
Legend, as we would hope, captures the spirit of the story but ignores the mundane detail. The mundane detail is this: I actually wrote a screenplay, over five years, but wasn’t optimistic about getting it funded. These days, studios prefer the lower-risk option of adapting a novel that has already proved itself in the marketplace. So I rewrote my screenplay as a book.
That process was relatively easy – but only because I’d spent five years with the story and the characters already. And the book took on a life of its own, above and beyond being a vehicle to get a movie made.
You credit the Creative Writing course at RMIT as being a contributing factor to your success with The Rosie Project. What was the most crucial aspect of the course to your literary achievements thus far?
I studied screenwriting and then professional writing and editing at RMIT. The study was more than just a contributing factor: there was no way The Rosie Project would have happened – in screenplay or book form – without it. The courses gave me theory, feedback, discipline, encouragement and industry contacts. I first encountered my publisher, Text, when one of their editors came to speak to our class. A few months later, she became my editor.
It’s hard to pick out a single factor, but if I had to, I would boringly have to nominate the theory – and I use that term broadly to include practically-oriented advice. I just learned tons of stuff about plot, character, story structure… My most important subject was probably the first screenplay editing subject I took where we looked at an early draft of a successful screenplay and compared it with the final result: learning how to make your work better is at least as important as learning how to write a good draft.
You mention in passing in your blog that your school days were not a particularly happy time of your life, and that your recent studies felt like a ‘second chance’. Could you elaborate a little on that?
I guess I’m being a little harsh there – I had some very good times at school but suffered from being younger than my classmates. Timing of my birthday (midyear), being reasonably bright and a move from NZ to Australia conspired to put me a couple of years ahead academically – but not socially!
Mature age tertiary study, particularly in a creative discipline, is so different: you’re doing it because you want to – and, just as important, so are your peers. Grades are less important than what you’re learning, and the relationship with faculty and the institution is less parent-child. For me there was a sense of fulfilling the “if I knew then what I know now” fantasy.
At an age when many baby boomers are looking longingly towards retirement, you have taken on a whole new career. What has been the impact on you and your family and on your life in general?
Yeah. I was in my fifties when I decided I could make writing my full time career. At that age, my father (who’s now in his late 80s) had retired permanently. My kids are adults, so the impact there is minimal. There’s a lot of travel, but I was doing quite a bit of that in my old job. My partner is also a writer and had her first mainstream novel, Medea’s Curse, published earlier this year. So, with the kids off our hands, we have a strong common interest in writing and great opportunities to travel. I just have to persuade her to give up the day job!
You are the epitome of a DIY man: you had a goal, you set about learning how to achieve it, and you got there in the end. At diywoman.net we salute you.
Well, thank you. I think there’s an important qualification about the pursuit of goals. It’s vital to enjoy the journey. My stated goal when I started screenwriting was to write a Hollywood (or equivalent) movie. That was the dream – not the realistic expectation. I made sure I had lots of smaller wins along the way: short films made, into festivals, shown on television. A couple of plays performed by Short and Sweet. Some short stories published. Etc, etc, etc. Lots of et ceteras. I enjoyed the process of doing these things too, as well as the formal recognition. And when, at least initially, I realised I couldn’t pull off the movie dream, I was prepared to trade it for getting a book published. So by all means have a goal, but don’t be so single minded that you miss the joys of the trail and the possibility that it might lead you elsewhere. | 2019-04-24T02:23:31 | https://diywoman.net/diy-womans-favourite-australian-author/ |

Dimensions: 11" H X 5" Diam.
I put in the year I gave the gift.
If i personalize this growler with the name Smith it would read Smith Brewing Co? Just want to make sure the layout remains the same as the example on the website just the name and year change. I wish you could preview what yours would look like.
Then you would put in the year.
It will read Smith Brewing Co.
Then you would put the year.
With regards to the personalized breweing co. growler, does the wording :brewing co" appear? I'm hoping to engrave the word "Everglades" and have it read Everglades Brewing Co. Please advise.
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the words "Brewing Co." and the featured graphic design comes on these growlers. They are further personalized with your name up to 12 letters including spaces.
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the word Brewery does appear. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us at 800 356 8466. Thank you again.
Can this growler be used after brewing for the second fermenting? Does it seal well enough?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your inquiry! These growlers are more for personal use for filling and drinking the beer rather than using them to ferment/brew beer. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us at 800 356 8466. Thank you again.
Do you make a personalized Flip top grower?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately at this time we do not but stay tuned!
I didn't know if the personalization would turn out very well but I was very happy when it came in the mail and everything looked awesome, definitely a good buy.
This growler arrived quickly (for a customized item), well packaged, and beautifully done. I cannot wait to give it to the recipient.
It is personalized and my friend started to cry!
We purchased a personalized growler for our son for Christmas. Very satisfied with the quality of the printing and look of the growler!! Delivered in great time and our son just loved it!!
He brews his own beer, so having a growler with his name on was a big hit. High quality. Looks very professional on his back bar. He said it was almost too nice to use. But he will proudly. | 2019-04-21T12:31:16 | https://www.wineenthusiast.com/personalized-brewing-co.-growler.asp |
When it comes to shopping for kids scooters, the options are mindboggling, usually, it’s going to come down to the color but you still want to make sure you are buying something decent that’s not going to fall to pieces five minutes.
There are options for all budgets from basic and simple, just something around the house through to models to cover longer distances on family outings.
Find the best 3 wheeled scooters for kids from our top list below, with trusted brands and great feedback it makes it easier to find the one they will love.
From the well known and trusted brand Micro, comes the Mini Kickboard 3 Wheeled kids scooter, built to a high standard, it is a cheaper option if it’s not going to be used for multiple riders or if there is no height adjustment needed for the handlebars.
Stability and ease of use are what makes this scooter great, along with the ability to carve and surf the pavement by the steerable front wheels, just lean to turn and the wheels automatically go with the flow. It’s nice and light at only 4.2 pounds and recommended for children of 2 – 5 years of age it’s a fun way of adding exercise and outdoor time to their routines.
Stopping is taken care of by the foot brake while making the ride safer, your child’s feet are protected from the turning rear wheels, this prevents them accidentally resting their feet on the moving back wheel. The Kickboards’s wheels use a larger diameter in the front for extra stability and security over bumpy ground and are made from durable polyurethane to handle the miles while still being grippy and comfortable to ride on.
The Micro Kickboard Mini is one of the highest rated 3 wheeled kids scooters around, with the great price, unique ride quality, flexible deck, and long-lasting wheels it’s a true kid’s favorite for many households and by choosing the Micro brand, you know the quality and part availability is great.
The Lascoota 2 in 1 gets its name from the detachable seat which turns it from a stand and scoot to a sit and scoot, great for longer journeys and changing things up to keep it interesting for your kids. Fully adjustable for different ages and well priced, it offers that bit extra than a stand-alone scooter.
For comfy and safe riding, the deck is nice and wide for bigger kids shoes, plus the seat is comfy with the in-built seat pad, also the flex of the plastic seat base helps to absorb bumps from concrete surfaces.
If your kids are fussy about color or you are keen to have matching scooters, there are a total of 6 colors to choose from, blue, green, pink, purple, red and yellow. These should cover you for when they really want their favorite color!
The Lascoota’s deck has been designed to be low to the ground for maximum stability which gives the younger riders more confidence to push their boundaries, by leaning side to side the front wheels turn with them allow big sweeping turns and allowing quick balance corrections which are a must with 3 wheeled scooters.
The seat attaches via hex screws so tools are needed to make the changeover but this keeps it secure and stops little fingers playing with the mechanisms. Up front, the handlebars allow for four positions in height from standing right down to the seated position.
Great for kids aged around 2 through till 10 years, there is a long window of enjoyment and scooting fun.
From the well known and trusted brand, Razor, the Jr Lil Kick kiddies scooter may be priced low but still manages to pack in the features of more expensive offerings, it’s a no-frills scooter for parents on a budget who don’t want to sacrifice quality shopping.
Using plastic spoke, polyurethane wheels, the Jr rides comfortably and speedy. The grippy texture provides traction over varied surfaces and is hard wearing, just like the more expensive rides.
The main scooter frame is constructed from welded steel for strength, usually aluminum used in more pricey scooters drives the price up so just because it’s a budget scooter doesn’t mean its flimsy or easily broken. The Jr sports a 45-pound weight limit which is great for an entry level scooter.
The main way Razor have kept the cost low is by going to a fixed wheel design, having two on the rear vs two up front with a steerable linkage system. The dual rear wheels provide good stability for younger riders finding their feet and stopping is handled by dragging a foot, also the Jr makes a very good stepping stone towards a bigger scooter with a low purchase price it’s a perfect first scooter.
Two wheels at the front or two wheels at the back? The main thing to consider with the rear double wheels is ankle clearance, some kids might bang their ankles while scooting along while others will be fine. There are many variations of three-wheeled scooters and the front double wheels layout is usually the most popular but you do pay a slight premium for the more complex steerable designs.
The Radio Flyer My First Scooter is aimed at first-time riders just starting out, needing a stable and predictable ride with an easy to handle design, plenty of foot space and fun to use.
An extra wide foot area with a textured finish gives excellent stability and helps prevent feet from accidentally sliding off the deck, it’s wide enough for kids to put both their feet side by side.
The Radio Flyer uses a turn to steer system vs a lean-to turn like most three-wheeled scooters. For kiddie just starting out, it provides just enough movement to keep a straight line and go where they need to go without having to shift to much body weight which might cause imbalance.
The Radio Flyer comes in at less than 5 pounds but still has a 50-pound weight limit so it will stand up to multiple uses from different kids and with a contoured design there a no sharp edges to fall against or cause issues. Radio Flyer has specced plastic wheels, not quite as grippy as the poly-urethane versions but work well for beginner scooter rider as they likely will be less aggressive in their riding style than bigger kids.
A great, all-round scooter with a well-designed focus on safety and ergonomics, no wonder it’s been so popular!
The fun is on with the convertible Micro Mini-2-Go, underneath is the well-loved and rated Mini Micro but on top, there’s a funky clip-on seat with onboard storage, this turns it into a fast rolling sit and go which can be changed easily to keep your kids keen for more.
The standout feature is the clip-on storage caddy, contoured and shaped for maximum comfort with no sharp edges, it uses a slide out caddy so your kids can carry their trinkets and finds when they are out and about. When the caddy is slid into the closed position it gives the seat extra support and stops it flexing and moving around.
The dual front wheeled design uses Micro’s carve-to-turn system, lean to where you want to go and the scooter carves it’s turn for you without needing to steer or turn the bars, great fun for kids.
For the parent there an easily removable push rod so if you were to go for a walk, your kids can be pushed while sitting. Located at waist height and height adjustable it comfortable enough to push for extended periods of time.
The Mini-2-Go is a well thought out and versatile scooter, you get the very nice Micro Mini underneath with adjustable handlebars and aluminum hardware plus the whole storage caddy/seat. It makes for a good alternative to a balance bike, especially for in town or busy footpath where you might need to keep your kiddy close or hang onto them when moving. They have fun being pushed while the whole scooter is easily steered precisely to avoid obstacles or give extra enjoyment.
If your short on space, or like to have something in the car just in case your kids want to go for a scoot somewhere, the folding feature of the Razor Jr Kick Scooter makes transportation and storage far easier.
Just like it’s sibling, the Jr Kiddie Kick Scooter, the Folding version shares the twin rear wheel layout with fixed, T-Bar handlebars and steel frame construction. The rider weight capacity is also 45 pounds, even with the handy fold-up hinge incorporated into the down tube, just underneath the front of the footbed.
The Jr Folding Kick features a large covered deck which hides away the folding mechanism but also providing coverage to the rear wheels. If knocking ankles was a concern, the deck gradually slopes outwards to stop feet getting hooked in the wheels, kids will naturally put their pushing leg slightly wider to clear the deck and therefore clearing the rear wheels.
Clear polyurethane wheels are standard with good grip and resistance to premature wear while providing shock absorption.
The Jr Kick Folding is available on two different colors, pink with purple grips and blue with orange grips and is aimed at young riders from 3 years of age, with comfy contact points and a stable riding position it might just end up being their go-to for extra mobility and walks with the family.
To fold the scooter up, simply pull the hook forwards allowing the hinge to release, it ends up saving a lot of space compared to a fixed body scooter and it’s not easily accessible while riding so there less chance of any mishaps.
If you’re after a quality scooter for your kids to run around on the footpaths and driveway and not wanting to spend more than you need to have a look at Den Haven’s 3 Wheeled Glider. It’s very close in construction to the Micro 3 wheeled models but it comes in at a fraction of the price.
The dual front wheels make riding fun, even first-time riders can jump on and be moving in no time and when they have got the hang of it, speed will increase so there is a footbrake to keep things in check. Standing on one foot while resting the pushing foot hovering on the brake makes sudden stops and speed adjustments easy.
The front T-Handlebar is fully adjustable in height, from 14.5 inches throughout to 24.5 inches. To keep the bars straight there is a push button inside the sliding riser which locates in the pre-drilled hole, this also stops the handlebars sliding down in-case the quick release was knocked or not done up tightly.
The handlebars feature large, rubber grips with perforated ends to keep the aluminum bar safely hidden away in case of a fall, as a bonus they help protect the walls if your kiddie is riding around inside or even bumps up against a car.
The Den Haven 3 Wheel Glider uses the tried and true, two in front, one in back layout, it relies on the lean to steer motion with the linkage between the front wheels which is a lot of fun for carving big turns without being unstable, even beginner riders can start to use to enjoy the motion in a very short time.
The 3 Wheel Glider is a real bang-for-buck model, what it may lack in color choices and flashy looks it makes up for it with a low price and build that is very close to the Micros without compromising on materials and quality.
If you like the two up front and one in the back wheel layout but still need a scooter that can be folded down for easier transportation and storage, the Max Glider Deluxe from Eedan combines all of these into one design. With the super-handy removable handlebar assembly, you can throw into the boot of a small car, underneath your buggy or even into a backpack.
The Eedan incorporates a unique dual-rear-wheel design where two wheels take the place of where the single rear would normally be. This helps to ease the wear and tear on the wheels by letting them both share the braking and turning duties. The rear sprung footbrake uses a reinforced body for maximum performance and keep the flex in check.
Cool Colors – Available in three designs they are definitely unique and something a bit different to the standard block colors. Eeden calls the two alternative colors schemes, graffiti, one urban and the other pop, very eye-catching and sure to be a hit with kids, of course, there’s the classic black as well if the graffiti is not their thing.
What’s the best way to complement a wild color scheme than with flashing led wheels. Just start them spinning and they flash and light up. It’s not just fun for the kids, the flashing lights become very obvious in low light conditions which add an extra level of safety.
The Eedan Max Glider comes in at an affordable price, and with the flashing wheels and super-bright color scheme, you can guarantee your kids will love it straight away. The other key feature is the ability to remove the vertical T-Handlebar, not something most scooters have, especially in the steerable models. Often the outdoor toys can be used, then put away for a while over winter or bad weather so this makes it great to stow away in a corner out of the way.
Never mind the name, the Gobber 3 wheeled scooter is a popular model with overwhelmingly positive feedback. The Globber adopts the standard three-wheeled layout for predictable stability and feel for younger riders but uses a clever locking system to fix the front end if first timers are having difficulty getting used to the leaning action of the front end.
Underneath the hood, there is a spring-loaded mechanism which allows you to choose between a fixed front end and the lean-to steer option. There is the familiar system which allows the wheels to turn when the scooter is leaned over, both evenly and at a camber, while this can be fixed to stop the scooter from leaning at all, ideally something kids would use if it’s their first scooter, as they grow in confidence, unlocking it will allow them to turn and better handle their increased speed.
Colors, Colors and even more colors – with a total of 11 combinations even the most discerning toddler will be happy with your choice, although maybe ask their favorite color first!
The telescopic front T-Bars are all aluminum to keep the weight to a minimum and adjust via the quick releases from 26.5 to 31 inches. Topped off with safe and cushy rubber grips and fast rolling polyurethane wheels all the contact points are good to go.
The Globber has an excellent maximum recommended weight at 110 pounds, or just under 50 kilos thanks to its aluminum reinforced deck, this means more adventurous young riders can take it to the local skatepark and lean on the lower slopes before they transition to a more dedicated design for more aggressive riding.
The Globber’s great for kids aged 2 to 6 years old and with the option to lock the steering it’s super friendly for beginners.
Wonderview’s Kick Scooter is extremely sturdy with a maximum weight capacity of 154 pounds, or 69 kilos. This not only means it will handle the extra rough and tumble especially if older kids jump on it, and extend the lifespan so your kids don’t outgrow too quickly.
Strong Deck – On the underside, there’s a stainless steel reinforcing plate which allows the scooter to handle the weight that it can, it keeps the deck rigid while allowing it to still sit low to the ground to aid stability.
Out the back there’s the double back wheel to spread the wear and tear over both vs a single rear design, the wheels are polyurethane and roll on high quality bearing for speed and reliability. Plus they contain flashing LEDs!
The decks nice and wide at 5.3 inches with a textured surface for extra grip, and out the back, stopping power is handled by a stainless steel, reinforced foot-brake, and since there are two wheels the extra rubber gives great stopping bite.
The front T-Bar is detachable to allow for easy transport and storage, plus the assembly is minimal so they can be up and running in no time. While the colors may not be as wild as other designs, sometimes it’s the simple contrast of the colors used which can be eye-catching for young kiddies, plus they soon forget once they are out and having fun cruising around.
Not all 3 wheeled scooters are the same, things such as deck height and handlebar adjustability play an important role in how the scooter responds to the riders input, but have you considered how the wheels might affect the stability?
Two up front and a single at the back – By far the most common has its advantages from keeping the pushing and ankle area free from obstruction, avoiding kids knocking their ankle if they put their pushing foot to close to the rear of the deck.
Another plus is the linkage system manufacturers include to aid steering and allow the rider’s weight to change the direction of travel. By leaning the scooter over, the wheels turn and pivot to help the turn, keeping the center of gravity where it needs to be much like a bicycle. With grippy wheels, the turning, or carving motion is great fun once kids get more experience and speeds increase. Sometimes the single wheels are doubled up at the back for better wear and tear and brake performance.
Two in the rear and one up front – You will see this layout commonly on the budget scooters and designs for more general riding. The steering is different in this case since a single wheel up front uses the standard, turn the bars to steer motion. The scooters are simpler in construction and are perfect around the house or driveway.
This one is not to be overlooked since the wheels are the only thing touching the ground. You will see two main types, plastic wheels, and polyurethane wheels.
Plastic wheels can be a cost-saving feature but can also be suitable for very young riders who don’t cover a lot of distance, ride the scooter indoors and for parents looking for a lightweight scooter.
Polyurethane wheels are the preferred option for outdoor surfaces and durability. Very similar to a skateboard or rollerblade wheel in construction, they use a soft outer molded onto a small plastic (or aluminum) wheels.
These are very good for concrete and generally mixed surfaces and once the outer tire wears away they are easily replaced since most wheels are of standard design and dimension.
There is a surprising variety of weight limit among the scooter models, some upwards of 150 pounds and some under 45 pounds. Visually the models look very similar but the maker usually includes a reinforced deck with stainless steel or aluminum to stop flex and better support the structure.
The weight limit can also play a role depending on where you think it will be ridden the most, at home, cruising around the driveway or tagging along on a family walk? The higher weight limit most likely is not necessary providing your child comes in under it.
Maybe your child’s still under the lower weight limits but like’s to venture to the skatepark or hops off curbs, having a stiffer and stronger scooter is of benefit since it’s less likely to break or wear out prematurely.
My personal favorite is Mini Micro, it’s one of the originals and is widely duplicated by other brands with each putting their own spin on the design.
What are your thoughts? Kids love these lightweight little rockets and they make an excellent Christmas or birthday present, oh and it’s a fun way to give them more exercise. | 2019-04-22T08:45:21 | https://kidsbikegear.com/best-3-wheeled-scooters-for-kids |

"We got the packages today and I wanted to send you a thank you! The company was very thankful and the delicious food is gone already. We had a fitness test earlier this week, so most of the guys were watching their food intake to ensure a good performance. The timing could not have been better as the treats were a nice reward for successful completion. I've attached two pictures of some of our guys unpacking the food... I had to get them quickly before it all disappeared!
On May 20th, 2015 the City of San Mateo and our thoughtful community put together 20+ care packages (see below) for our adopted troop. We received a heart-warming message of thanks and a great photo!
"Thank you and the City of San Mateo for the outstanding and persistent support you all have given to the Company through the four years that I have personally been in ABU Company. The package I received was amazing! There was not a single thing that will not get eaten or used. We have your photos posted throughout our company area so that all the incoming Soldiers can see what the City and its citizens have done for the Soldiers and the Company.
"Year after year for the past 47 years their citizens have supported the Soldiers of ABU and their families and even more when deployed. They yet again impressed us. This month we received a banner signed by nearly 100 citizens and each Soldier received an individually addressed and packaged care package." | 2019-04-22T21:06:54 | https://cityofsanmateo.org/3204/Messages-from-the-Troops |

Navajo handwoven Klagetoh rug woven by Denny Yazzie. The Klagetoh weaving is very similar to the Ganado rugs, but with a predominantly gray background instead of the Ganado’s red. Some experts do not consider Klagetoh a specific regional rug but a sub-type of Ganado. This rug is woven with commercially dyed wool of brown, gray, white, red and black. This is a one of a kind item. Made in the USA. 86" x 68". | 2019-04-20T04:18:33 | https://www.camerontradingpost.com/navajo-handwoven-klagetoh-rug-r16221-934118.html |

These easy tips will not only make you a kinder cook, they’ll also help boost your nutrition.
What better time than spring to think about how small, sensible changes can help us eat better and be healthier? And with Earth Day coming up, it’s also a good time to think about changing some of our cooking and eating habits to better our environment.
These nine tips will help you conserve water and energy; reduce waste at home; and help boost your nutrition when you cook, too. Do what you can-every small change will make a difference!
Your ‘cookprint’ is the energy needed to prepare and cook food. According to Save On Energy, a program by the Government of Ontario, using lids while you cook-say, while boiling a pot of water-can decrease your energy use by up to 14 percent. Use smaller, energy-efficient appliances such as a slow cooker to make just about anything from appetizers to stews. You can also cook in your toaster oven; it’s perfect for mini-pizzas or roasting veggies. And don’t be afraid to use a little elbow grease. If you can, use a hand egg beater, manual can opener or hand-held juicer instead of the electric ones.
To conserve water, steam vegetables with a small amount of water instead of boiling them in a pot full of water that you’ll throw out afterwards. The bonus with steaming is that veggies stay tender-crisp, and few vitamins and minerals are lost in the cooking water. I stack a few bamboo steamers that I bought in Chinatown so I can steam dim sum and veggies all at the same time-and I only need to use one burner on the stove.
Another way to conserve water is to avoid defrosting food under cold running water or in a sink of water. Just one minute of running the tap sends an average of 13.5 litres of water down the drain. Instead, plan ahead when you can, and put frozen meat in the fridge to defrost a day or two before you need it. For example, plan on approximately 10 hours per kilogram (or five hours per pound) when defrosting frozen poultry. Or thaw frozen meat in the microwave.
If you want to make a cup of coffee or tea, fill the kettle with just enough water to do the job, rather than wasting the energy needed to heat the full kettle. If you do have extra water left over, use it for cooking or washing fruit and vegetables. Some kettles now have a built-in temperature setting so the water doesn’t have to reach boiling each time. That’s a handy feature for green-tea lovers like me, since it is best made with water that is a few degrees below boiling (175°F/80°C); making green tea with boiling water burns the leaves and gives it a bitter taste.

You arrive at a large yet unremarkable door along a quiet side street of an otherwise bustling city. You’re sure it’s the right one, you can smell the possibilities emanating from within, or is that croissants?
As you reach out to the handle, a familiar voice in your head says “Are you sure you want to do this?” You pause, “Cooking for others can bring about feelings of immense satisfaction, but the landscape is vast, no one knows how far it stretches, you could get lost”.
You look up and see something your eyes failed to notice until now, the engraving in stone across the arch of the door “Good Food is the Foundation of Genuine Happiness”.
You take a deep breath, get a grip on the roll of knives under your arm and push open the doors.
Over the coming weeks and months I will be sharing my favourite recipes and showing you the skills it takes to elevate your cooking game in the kitchen.
As you progress through the recipes (and indeed, whenever you cook) you will be awarded Experience Points (XP) which you can use to fill in your skill tree and plot your culinary progress.
You begin of course, at the bottom. A Level 1 Beginner Pot Wash (‘Esculerie’ in French).
Cooking is a vocation, an endless sea of knowledge to explore and, hopefully, stay afloat in. You certainly won’t learn everything here. It’s also a journey of discovery about oneself. What you cook and how often will determine your player’s character. There’s a skill tree for that too.
Each time you complete a skill circle, you can fill in a square on your progress track. Fill up the progress track, and you’re ready for level 2.
Got questions? Head on over to the FAQ.
Once inside you are ushered over to a wall where you stand in a line with the other recruits. The room is mostly in shadow, the odd beam of light streaming in from an unknown source catches on various surfaces, teasing the image of something grand and sprawling.
Before you stands a colossal giant of a figure. Clad in a white jacket, and seemingly uninterested in the line of hopefuls. The light lands on one of its massive forearms. You can see it’s all gnarls and welts, the scars of a thousand burns and cuts adorn a hand that is now more scar tissue than skin. You notice that on its belt, where you might expect to see a weapon of legendary power sits only a humble, unremarkable knife. Without thinking, you stare at it curiously.
SLAM! The creature plants two massive hands on the ground near where you stand and stoops down to meet your now terrified gaze. A solitary, gigantic, camel like eye peers at you from under a bandana. When it speaks, its voice is rough and harsh, like coals being dragged over a metal grating.
You try to stand tall, you’ve prepared for this moment, rehearsed it your mind countless times and now you’re ready. You take out your roll of knives and let them unfurl to the ground. A truly masterful collection, a menagerie of blades and gadgets of all shapes and sizes. Filleting, paring, an off-set pastry knife, a cleaver. On and on it goes. The light in the room somehow finds you and begins to dance off the galvanised steel teeth you have bared. This is your moment.
Sadly your moment is cut short by the booming of laughter. You thought its voice was rough but the laugh? It’s like being punched with sandstone.
“Pathetic! Tell me ‘Esculerie’…” At the mention of your new nickname there are some chuckles and guffaws of recognition.
At that moment the entire hall lights up to reveal a vast and shining kitchen. Rows and rows of ovens, prep stations, pots, pans, trays, tables, chopping blocks and stove tops stretch out for what seems like miles. Before you stands a whole motley crew of giants and trolls, dwarves and dragon born, a whole host of misshapen misanthropes cackling and slapping each other on the back. All of them awash with faded tribal markings covered in scars and scuffs, burns and boils. They’re all laughing heartily at your expense and you wonder for the first time, whether you’ve done the right thing. Looking to your left you notice there are no other recruits, just you.
You turn to see what must surely be the barest pantry in all the land.
You wander into the pantry, still shaking. After a thorough search, you return to the main room, find yourself a prep station and get to work. Despite your humiliation, you’re not a complete fool, you’ll show them.
You take a damp cloth and lay it down under your chopping board to stop it slipping, run your knife over the sharpener, check the blade by running your thumb perpendicular to it and lay out your ingredients.
This makes the ‘rustic stew’ – the first recipe I ever devised myself. I was living in Spain at the time and needed to feed a lot of people on the cheap.
It’s the simplest recipe I know, none of the ingredients are chopped so much as ‘roughly hewn’ into sizes that will fit the average mouth.
The Chorizo does the heavy lifting in this dish. It’s always nice to rely on the labour of more skilful people and I urge you to find other recipes/produce that let you do the same. Making chorizo is a lengthy and complicated process, don’t do it, let someone else do it and then take the credit for it.
If you’re vegetarian then substitute chorizo for dried wild mushrooms (soak overnight) and some smoked paprika.
Put the chopped chorizo in a cold, large saucepan on a low heat and add a splash of oil. As the pan heats up, the fat on the chorizo begins to render and liquefy. Once the bottom of the pan is covered in red juice, add the onions and pump the heat up to a medium. Let the onions sweat. Once they have become translucent and red, add ALL the other ingredients. Leave it on a medium heat until it starts to simmer then turn down to a low heat and leave it alone for at least two hours. After two hours, give it a stir, a taste and a season with salt and pepper.
At about four hours it hits a real sweet stage, ladle some rustic stew into a bowl and serve with crusty bread. Maybe don’t wear anything white whilst prepping or eating this.
The cadre of miscreants each fill a bowl from the large pot of rustic stew you’ve prepared. They are less animated now than they were and to your surprise, they each thank you for the offering.
The sound of quiet, cheerful chatter is punctuated by the ting of steel spoon against porcelain as everyone devours the stew.
Chef turns to you and gives you a silent and deliberate nod of approval. You smile for the first time that day and a warm sense of accomplishment fills your heart.
Chef then motions to one side, you follow with your eyes and spy a mountain of dirty pots and pans dripping with food waste and grease. Your heart sinks, chef smiles.

Nintendo has announced the launch of a new console to replace the Wii U. The console is codenamed NX and will be launched in March 2017. After the initial rousing support for Nintendo Wii which introduced motion control, Nintendo’s Wii U was met with disappointment as only 13 million units have been sold worldwide since November, 2012 as compared to 20 million Xbox Ones and 36 million PlayStation 4s. Nintendo says the new console will have brand new concept but they are tight lipped about what the concept might be.
Nintendo has been under tremendous pressure from competitors for some time now and they desperately needed something fresh to regain market share. The new console might be for display at E3 in June. According to the dev kits, the NX might be more powerful thatn both Xbox One and PlayStation 4, marking Nintendo’s departure from using less powerful hardware for their consoles. Nintendo has also come up with a mobile game called Miitomo. This is the first ever Nintendo game that is not designed for its own consoles. | 2019-04-18T16:52:17 | http://www.ulpnet.com/2016/04/27/nintendo-announces-new-console-called-nintendo-nx/ |

Awnings can be a tremendous complement to a home in a number of capacities—whether it’s keeping you safe from the harsh sunlight of a hot summer day or keeping at bay a light drizzle that might otherwise send you packing inside until the clouds have passed. But, owning an awning can have its drawbacks and the biggest one by far is wind damage.
Today’s modern awning designs have a number of innovations to combat wind damage, including reinforced materials to protect against warping and emergency retractors that can be manually deployed if the wind kicks up too quickly. Perhaps the best innovation out there, however, is the automatic wind sensor that comes with numerous motorized awnings in Kawartha Lakes, ON. This sensor actually detects wind levels that might be unsafe for the awning and serves to automatically retract it to protect it from sudden damage.

The Israel Center for Mind-Body Medicine was co-founded in 1998 by Naturopathic Physicians Dr. Paul Epstein and Dr. Nimrod Sheinman, as an educational, training and clinical institute. Although the center is now renamed and has been passed on to others to run, Drs. Epstein and Sheinman were pioneers in bringing this philosophy and approach to healing to Israel.
The Center's work is dedicated to the significance and power of the mind-body connection, to the integration of western psychology with eastern traditions, and to the influence of spirituality on daily life. The Center is working to explore these aspects and to bring these dimensions into medicine, psychotherapy, health psychology, education, nursing, family therapy, organizations and society.
The Center's model applies the science of mind-body medicine with the wisdom of the world's healing traditions. In our work, we integrate holistic perspectives, east-west psychology, contemplative traditions, meditation practices and mindfulness based approaches. We emphasize the influence of the inner world of beliefs, emotions, thoughts, attitudes and awareness on healing, wellbeing and health.
The Center believes that all of us have powerful and largely untapped resources, which can be communicated, utilized and expressed through mind-body approaches. The Center is working to deepen this appreciation, and it's significance and application into the fields of education, medicine, psychotherapy, and to the society at large.
Mind-Body Medicine combines the findings of modern science with the wisdom of world's ancient healing traditions. The concepts of mind-body medicine can be used regardless of any therapeutic modality one is using in one's practice. The field of mind-body medicine emphasizes the person's whole being, acknowledging that emotional, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions are most important factors in well-being, health and healing. Mind-Body Medicine believes that people can be active participants in their own health care, and views illness and life's difficulties as an opportunity for personal growth, self-awareness and psychological transformation.
The Center has worked with the Israel Ministry of Education, the Israel Educational Psychology Services, the Israel Cancer Association, the Israel Family Therapy Association, the Israel Teachers Association, and the Israel Insight Meditation Society as well as within medical schools, hospitals, universities, nursing schools, family therapy institutes and natural medicine institutes.
As a professional and experiential training for nurses, social workers and other health care professionals, this is the Center's main program for health care practitioners in hospitals and HMOs. The program presents the mind-body theoretical and experiential perspectives, and allows the participants to experience the therapeutic value and power of meditation, guided imagery, emphatic dialogue, east-west psychology and group-work. The training is also aimed to help participants at exploring how to integrate mind-body skills into their clinical practice with individuals and groups.
An experiential retreat for cancer patients and their families and for health professionals from the psycho-oncology field, devoted to empower and to give options in healing. The retreat is designed to explore and integrate the best mind-body knowledge and skill through guided meditations, deep inquiry and guided imagery, integrating large group instructions, small group discussions and personal work.

The residential intensive integrates the up-to-date knowledge in nutrition, stress management, movement and mind-body perspectives, with strong emphasis on experiential learning for healing the heart.
Our commitment to bring mindful awareness and mind-body skills into Israel educational system. Our unique model is based on synthesis of mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, relaxation practices and yoga, emphasizing experiential and mindful learning.

New Ayoma – A clergyman has called for a socio-economic renaissance, to enable the people of Buem in the Jasikan District of the Volta Region to regain their lost status.
Most Reverend Gabriel Akwasi Ababio Mante, Bishop of Jasikan Diocese of the Catholic Church, appealed to the people to spearhead any such initiative for positive results.
He reminded them that in the past, community-led projects resulted in the building of facilities, including post offices, community centres, and school blocks, many of which were now dilapidated.
Most Rev. Mante was addressing a durbar of chiefs and people to crown the Buem 2012 Congress, organised by the Coalition for Peace and Development in Buem (COPADIB), on Saturday at New-Ayoma in the District.
The annual event brought together the people of Buem, to discuss and chart development for the area, known for its fertile land, and used to be a bustling cocoa-producing zone.
Most Rev. Mante said some four decades ago, the Buem area was a highly favoured destination for investment in agriculture and trading, but today the situation has changed, and dwindling fortunes of the area could be reversed by the people.
Mr Isaka Buraima, Chairman of COPADIP, said over the years, the group had supported development in the area, and cited the purchase and distribution of 20,000 cocoa seedlings to farmers and the resolution of protracted chieftaincy disputes in the area.
He said the Buem Congress would be transformed into a yearly festival from 2014, to be held at Bodada, seat of the Buem Traditional Area.
Mt Buraima said that the theme for the occasion: “Healthy People for Sustainable Development,” was chosen because good health of individuals, aggregating into general health status of groups, was a priced resource.
He said the success of community development plans, and economic activities were premised on the health of the people.
Mr Alban Sumani Bagbin, Minister of Health, through an emissary, announced that a health team comprising doctors, surgeons, dietitians and physical exercise experts would visit the district, to tackle health problems affecting the people.
He said government was working hard to upgrade capacities of health facilities in the area.

The advantage of food blogging is that you get to see a restaurant as a regular customer would. And can be frank about what you write. The weakness compared to an organised review is that you do not get to taste a larger range of what a place has to offer. I prefer the former though. I feel constrained when I am at an organised review. Even if the food is free. I feel bowed down by the weight of my host's expectations. With the Chef at his conscious best.
The problem for the reader of 'blog reviews' is that you get feedback on very few dishes. Even if this is from the heart. You don't get a perspective on the whole range on offer.
One solution is for readers to drop in their comments for all to see if they have gone to the same place. Shaswati's comment on Bespoke Cafe was a good example as we got to know about dishes (omelette, black bean burger) beyond what I had written about. Or you have to wait for blogger to return to a place and try out more things.
We did so at Yellow Tree when Kainaz took mom and me for lunch on Saturday.
The occasion was Banu's French leave. Well I was really pleased with the experience this time too. Felt good to see that a new place, which I had praised, live up to my recommendation of it. Felt like a proud parent.
The service was competent. The waiter was middle aged. Not really suave. But knew his job and answered our questions satisfactorily.
Kainaz ordered grilled chicken sausages with peppers. The dish was a riot of colours. The taste lived up to it. The sausages were very succulent. They had drizzled some pesto sauce which took the sausages to the next level. There were large pieces of bell pepper which had a nice bite to them and weren't chunky at all. A very promising start to the meal.
My tenderloin steak arrived. Medium done. One bite and I knew that it was a 70 mm blockbuster. The meat was really tender. Had a fresh, pink hue to it of meat which was cooked to perfection. Meat whose pedigree didn't need to be hidden by over cooking or torching. Each bite of beef melted this pork lover's heart. It wasn't just meat. It was a seven year itch. I couldn't have had the whole thing by myself and K helped me with a few forkfuls. Living up to her wedding vows.
Mom had a 'healthy' plate of fish and chips. I took a few satisfactory bites. They had put a slight masala marinade to make Old Blighty's former national dish more palatable in the real land of chicken tikka masala.
Happy with our dishes, my eyes begun to stray to the next table. A couple there had ordered a focaccia bread sandwich. I was really happy to see the bread look resplendent in its original glory. Different from the grilled and flattened focaccia bread served in most places. I nodded in approval.
We left Yellow Tree in a happy mood. Knowing that we would return again.
i didn't really have a good experience at yellow tree. Took a table on the 1st floor next to a window overlooking the road. happy. then a few friends of the chef arrived and we were asked to move to another sad little corner table as they wanted to join a few tables.. we refused. then the beer was not chilled. the waiter told us it is. err..sorry i can feel it is not so. then the bread to go with the meal didn't turn up till the meal was over.....we waited and ate in sheer frustration once no response was coming. the bread actually turned up once i'd closed my plate. i sent it back. till then i still hadn't lost my cool. But erupted when i saw the bread on the bill. asked for it to be taken off and never went back.
i guess experiences are like that . a one off like this does happen but i must say in a place which offers a plethora of choices i didn't feel the need to go back. would have if they'd been nicer about the goof ups.
I think a review is incomplete without comments on the dessert. So one more trip seems due. | 2019-04-20T06:58:41 | https://www.finelychopped.net/2010/06/reaffirmation-yellow-tree-bandra.html |

LinkedIn today announced Signal, a new feature (currently in beta) that lets members see an activity stream that combines LinkedIn status updates and Twitter posts from other members who have opted-in to the feature. LinkedIn has licensed the Twitter firehose to incorporate all of its members’ tweets into the site, not just tweets with the #in hashtag embedded, as is current practice.
While it is hard to imagine anyone other than corporate and independent talent recruiters will make LinkedIn their primary Twitter client, Signal does have an element that is worthy of emulation by other social networks and enterprise social software providers that incorporate an activity stream (and which of those does not these days!) That feature is role-specific filters.
I wrote previously in this post about the importance of providing filters with which individuals can narrow their activity stream. I also noted that the key is to understand which filters are needed by which roles in an organization. LinkedIn apparently gets this, judging by the screenshot pictured below.
Notice the left-hand column, labeled “Filter by”. LinkedIn has most likely researched a sample of its members to determine which filters would be most useful to them. Given that recruiters are the most frequent users of LinkedIn, the set of filters displayed in the screenshot makes sense. They allow recruiters to see tweets and LinkedIn status updates pertaining to LinkedIn members in specific industries, companies, and geographic regions. Additionally, the Signal stream can be filtered by strength of connection in the LinkedIn network and by post date.
The activity stream of every enterprise social software suite (ESS) should offer such role-based filters, instead of the generic ones they currently employ. Typical ESS filtering parameters include individuals, groups or communities, and workspaces. Some vendors offer the ability to filter by status as a collaborator on an object, such as a specific document or sales opportunity. A few ESS providers allow individuals to create custom filters for their activity stream. While all of these filters are helpful, they do not go far enough in helping individuals narrow the activity stream to view updates needed in a specific work context.
The next logical step will be to create standard sets of role-based filters that can be further customized by the individuals using them. Just as LinkedIn has created a filter set that is useful to recruiters, ESS providers and deploying organizations must work together to create valuable filter sets for employees performing specific jobs and tasks. Doing so will result in increased productivity from, and effectiveness of, any organization’s greatest asset – it’s people. | 2019-04-26T15:44:55 | https://lehawes.wordpress.com/tag/opportunity/ |
Kizomba is a popular genre of dance originating in Angola, characterized by a slow and usually very slow and romantic rhythm and usually fueled by electronic percussion. It is danced very smoothly with neither tightness nor rigidity and there are frequent simultaneous hip rotations coordinated between dance partners, particularly in the quieter refrains of the music.
Semba is a faster variant of kizomba – basically to kizomba what meringue is to salsa.
More information about the dance classes at the University Sports Centre can be found here.
We hope to see you on Monday during the classes! | 2019-04-25T02:21:37 | https://www.sdaleidance.nl/kizomba/ |
