697bhp. In a Jeep Wrangler? Sounds like the perfect way for the American manufacturer to celebrate its 75th birthday, if you ask us.
The Jeep Trailcat uses the Wrangler’s body, except here the wheelbase has been stretched 12-inches to accommodate the 6.2-litre supercharged V8 Hemi ‘Hellcat’ engine, while ground clearance has been increased by two inches so it can drive over bigger things.
Jeep has fitted 17-inch beadlock alloy wheels wrapped in laughably chunky 39.5-inch BF-Goodrich Krawler T/A KX tyres, Fox shock absorbers and Dana 60 axles to make Trailcat capable of battling the sort of terrain that would make most cars cry.
Meanwhile a six-speed manual gearbox lets the driver really wring out every one of the 697 ponies under the power-dome vented bonnet. Other aesthetic revisions include a satin black grille, seats borrowed from a Dodge Viper and lamps. So many lamps.
From here on it’s speculation, as Jeep is yet to disclose any performance figures. Or how appauling it will be on fuel. But given the standard Wrangler has a 3.8-litre V6, the Trailcat can only be significantly faster – even if all those modifications make it much fatter.
The Jeep Trailcat was actually built to celebrate another significant milestone, the 50th anniversary of the Easter Jeep Safari annual event in which participants take on the gruelling terrain of Moab in Utah, US, over a nine-day period.
The meanest kitty on the block, then? Hell yes. Can you buy one? Not yet – for now this is just a show of what Jeep can do when its engineers can let their hair down. Best cross your fingers and toes. | 2019-04-22T11:06:54 | https://recombu.com/cars/article/707bhp-jeep-trailcat-wrangler-is-all-kinds-of-right |

Heavy rains have Sonoma Valley’s streams going strong right now, and much of that water rushes right past our communities on its way to the Bay. In fact, according to stream gauges, Wednesday’s powerful storms sent 1.6 billion gallons of water rushing by in just 24 hours!
By our calculations, assuming a total annual water use of about 6 billion gallons in Sonoma Valley (taken from Sonoma Water’s most recent available data), that means well over a quarter of our Valley’s annual demand went out to sea in a single day.
Finding ways to slow down, capture and store all that water is a challenge Sonoma Valley will have to address in the coming years. Doing so benefits us all, and the environment as well. | 2019-04-20T10:36:40 | https://sonomaecologycenter.org/2019/01/18/every-rainstorm-is-a-missed-opportunity/ |
A man from China has been found in Bangkok on Tuesday with a fake Thai ID card in the name of Thailand’s Wattana Phu Ob-orm known to most snooker fans as James Wattana.
Chern Liang, works for a Chinese tour company and has allegedly been using a fake ID for for 22 years. He discovered corrupt officials in the Kanchanaburi area, were prepared to produce the fake ID card for him for a nominal fee and thus agreed to go ahead with the deal. He has been using it ever since.
When officials investigated his claim that he had a family to verify his story, they discovered Chalong and Prasit Kaewwichit and their son Panya but they had no knowledge of anyone going by the name of Wattana and stated they only had the one son.
Further evidence came when they discovered that the man known as Wattana was born in 1969, before his so called parents were married.
When questioned, the Chinese national told police he chose the name because he liked Thailand’s top snooker player James Wattana, who was successful, especially during the 1990s.
Chern is said to be employed by a Chinese tour firm, with a salary of 28,000 baht per month. He denies this however. | 2019-04-21T14:48:06 | https://news.lovepattayathailand.com/national/chinese-fake-id-name-thai-snooker-star/ |

I have an action that updates some search criteria in Redux. I'd like to immediately fetch some data from an API based on that local criteria. The problem is that although the search criteria action dispatch is synchronous, it will not complete before the search results dispatch begins.
Am I missing something obvious? I can think of a few hacky ways to handle this, but what is the best way? Should I set a flag when search criteria updates, and fetch results in componentDidUpdate() if the flag is true? Or should I make updateLocalCriteria() asynchronous just so I can chain fetchApiResults() in the promise chain?
I think I've found my answer. I can get the current state within fetchApiResults(). Therefore, I can get the current search criteria before making the api call.
In your updateLocalCriteria, you probably already change one of the props of your reducer to the new value, I'll call it criteria.
The second dispatch will even wait for your first synchronous update to be finished, even if you don't really need it because you already has access to it.
You can still do what you said, get the current state of your store, but it seems quite overkill to me, since you can simply pass it as a parameter or you action.
Why is Redux passing dispatch into the return function of an action?

Man has always been a curious creature, that’s the main reason the news industry operates, to feed that curiosity.
More often than not, weather phenomena tend to be on the top of the list of picture editors and news-gatherers alike, but it is rarely an easy task.
Whether a photograph can be taken or not, relies heavily on the photographer having the right gear with him, and I am not referring to cameras and lenses! Right gear might be a pair of Wellington boots, or even a spare pair of dry socks.
What might be involved is climbing a mountain, or walking through snow, ice, even cow manure. Gloves are essential and appropriate clothing a must.
On the other hand, a press photographer might be prepared, but very rarely does a photographer have the luxury of a pre-arranged photo-shoot to depict the weather. This would be more of a “photo-call” rather than a news picture.
When the weather turns cold and snowy, my first port of call is the stunning Brecon Beacons in mid Wales, a trully stunning location to photograph, irrespective of the weather. It has a few different things in terms of terrain and a variety of photography can be achieved including news and landscape.
I found myself going to the Brecon Beacons twice recently. The A4059, between Penderyn and the A470 can be quite a difficult road to drive on when it has snowed, as it’s more likely iced over.
Nevertheless, knowing when and where to stop and obviously what to look out for, is what drives a competent press photographer.
Safety is of paramount importance and you can’t just stop your car, switch your hazard lights on and wait for a picture to miraculously happen right in front of your very eyes.
During my first trip, it was really early in the morning and everything still had a light blue hue.
The picture above shows the stretch of road which is pretty much right bretween Penderyn and the A470 junction, and works well with a long tele-photo lens. In this instance I used my Canon 400mm f4.0 DO.
I only wish there was more snow either side, or even a layer of snow on top of the car, but hey, you can’t have it all.
On the same road, just a few miles closer to the A470 I safely stopped in a layby, and for this shot I used my Canon 24-105 on its wide end.
Not a particularly fruitful day in terms of stunning news-worthy pictures, enough though to get me a couple of online hits.
For our whole set of pictures from the day, click here.
My second trip was somewhat more rewarding. It was again a weekday, schools were closed in the area, the sun was shining with nice blue skies everywhere, which not only makes for a better photograph, it helps with people’s mood too, they tend to smile more which is usually what picture editors go for.
The couple above seemed to have had more fun than their two young children, who gave up after only a couple of attempts, as they tended to pirouette more on their sledge than go straight down the slope.
The parents had a big sledge, not sure though it was enough for two adults, nevertheless they couldn’t stop laughing. Not only did they sleigh down the slope, but they seem to slide forward, off their sledge too.
This works best as a triptych. I felt sorry for the poor man, he later confided in me that he his pair of skis was not very good with soft snow and they kept digging in.
My second day in the Beacons got me a hit in The Times, as well as a good few online hits.
For more pictures, see here.
Third day didn’t involve much travelling. To start off, I only had to open my Velux window in my attic. and this was the result.
If only the moon was nearer the horizon so I could have included more of the rooftops.
Moments later, I was walking on the road outside my house. The iced over road surface was not as visible but still worked, well… just about.
Having just a few minutes to photograph before I moved on to the seafront, it was impossible to get someone walking on the pavement or even crossing the road, which would have been great. Instead, I was happy to get a picture of a travelling car.
My walk by the beach was more rewarding. Very quiet with the odd office worker pausing to take selfies with the sunrise in the background, or even with a couple of dog walkers on the beach.
What was strange, was a low flying cloud funneling through the entrance to Swansea Port which had to be part of my frame. From where I was standing, I could also see the sun rising. To get the shot below, I had to keep moving as did the walker and his dog.
My Canon 70-200mm f2.8 was just stunning and focusing either on the man’s silhouette or on the horizon beneath the sun was done effortlessly.
I even managed to squeeze a few frames from the promenade, a good few metres from the beach.
Thank you Mr Dog Walker, who ever you are!
JPEG compression however came to spoil the end result a bit as the file needs to be compressed so that it transfers quicker. That’s the reason it is so essential to always keep the original JPEG or even better, the RAW version of the file.
To look through our entire set of images, click here.
Upon my return to the Council car park, I discovered that a token was needed to exit and had to wait for 10 minutes until the Library would open.
I was prepared for weather phenomena in terms of cemeras, lenses and clothes, but that I wasn’t prepared for.

After we were being youngsters, among the most simple craft tasks we realized to carry out is coloring with crayons and markers. This is often a little something terrific to do with children simply because you may obtain lots of academic coloring e-book internet pages. In place of merely hanging the images on your own fridge, even so, turn them into additional sophisticated jobs. Make use of them to decoupage or make them into greeting cards. Grandparents like getting birthday playing cards showcasing drawings from their grandchildren!
You can also uncover pleasurable projects to teach your children the necessity of recycling. Use newspaper, for instance, to try and do paper mache jobs and produce candles from old crayons. You may find a range of crafting guides that demonstrate you techniques to use plastic bottles, tin cans, tissue packing containers, in addition to a range of other objects that you'd typically throw absent Summer Camp Crafts.
When crafting with little ones, it truly is essential to seek out assignments which have been harmless. Try to remember, a child's system remains creating, in order that they are prone to substances and also other destructive toxins whereas adult bodies are not as susceptible. Master what chemicals to stay away from and examine labels. This is especially essential for paints, glues, and clays. You should definitely observe younger young children extremely meticulously, as even non-toxic substances may be unsafe whenever they get into a child's eyes and, in almost any circumstance, is often difficult to take out from carpets and partitions!
If you don't like undertaking crafts, take into account building a modify for the youngsters. Craft tasks will not should be costly, messy, or challenging to do-you may even uncover crafts that can make fantastic domestic decorative objects! If all else fails, think about signing up your children for classes at area craft offer merchants and summer season camps. | 2019-04-18T21:06:01 | https://aom2013.com/craft-beer-guild-distributing-of-san-diego/ |

Tables and Files – What’s the Connection?
What is the relationship between a table and the files that contain it? This isn’t as easy a question as you might think because there is not a direct relationship between a logical object like a table and a physical object like a file. For a small database like AdventureWorks (< 200 MB) all you need is a single data file to hold all your tables. As things start to get larger and more complex you may add files as a way of increasing performance. For example if you have a single table that is large and heavily queried you may want to put it on a faster (and probably more expensive) drive. You may also have non-clustered indexes that cover your query that would benefit from being separated. If terms like non-clustered index and covering query are unfamiliar you might benefit from this excellent article by Joe Webb.
In the picture above the Table01 is actually the clustered index and Table01/Index01 is a non-clustered index. Note that a file can be in exactly one filegroup, but the components of the table can be located and managed through the use of different filegroups.
–Create a test DB. Does the DB exist? Drop if it does.
–folder to use the script as written.
At this point you can take a look at the various structures using either the Object Explorer in SSMS or TSQL. I prefer TSQL because it is repeatable and far more flexible. The following script shows the relationship between tables, filegroups, and files.
I recommend you play with this script on the sample DB above but also on of your own DBs. Not only will it familiarize you with the various catalog views it will also point out how your data is arranged and may help you in managing it even better. | 2019-04-21T10:28:00 | https://philergia.com/2011/02/22/tables-and-files-%E2%80%93-what%E2%80%99s-the-connection-4/ |
Ask any average Joe with a suitcase what his dream job is, and no doubt it would be to travel the world. What if we told you it's possible?
The first step you’ll have to take to make the big bucks is to start your own blog. There are some basics you’ll need to know if you want your blog to be successful, and you’ll also need a decent amount of time to build a follower base. First, come up with a name. When you’re thinking of blog titles, you’ll want to make sure you have something original, but also travel related so web browsers will know what to expect when they come across your page. Make sure the domain is available as well! A name is no good if someone else already has the rights to it. Next, set up your page. It could be as simple as a WordPress site, or as complex as paying a developer to set it up for you. No matter what you choose, remember design is key. Now that you’re live, don’t be shy. Advertise your new blog on all your social media pages, and encourage your friends to spread the word as far and wide as you intend to travel.
The web may seem as though it’s already over-saturated with other travel bloggers, but remember that the world is a big place, with endless nooks and crannies to explore. No one blogger can cover them all, so there can never be too many. It’s also worthwhile to remember that not all bloggers stick to it. Life gets in the way, and many that could have been successful fall by the wayside. If you keep up with your blog and post often, you have a better chance than a lot of other blogger hopefuls. Many blogging platforms offer built in metrics systems as well, so you can track how many people are viewing your page. Keep an eye on that, and if you see a steady progression on that (even if it’s slow going) you’re on the right track.
We know if sounds pretty obvious, but the most important tip to starting a career in travelling is actually getting out there and travelling! It may not be worth it to quit your day job right away (remember it can take some time for your blog to become a hit, and to get advertisers to sponsor you) but you can still travel with a 9-5 job. Take short weekend trips, plan to getaway on holiday weekends, and split up your holiday time so you can go to more destinations for a short amount of time, rather than one destination for a long amount of time. You can also fill time in between trips with travel-related advice, and funny anecdotes from past trips. Or, if you have video content, you can break up one video into multiple posts. That way you can keep your readers engaged and interested, even while you’re not travelling. Once your blog takes off though, go to as many places as you can, as often as you can. Life out of a suitcase can be pretty grand, especially if you get rich doing it.
That’s it. Three simple steps to living a lifestyle you may have thought unattainable. Still don’t believe it’s possible to make £45k a month just by writing about your experiences on the internet? Take a look at the man who actually does it!

Randolph J. May, Jr., Maryland Life Fellow and President of the Free State Foundation, has recently co-authored with Seth L. Cooper, the two recent books: A Reader on New Neutrality and Restoring Internet Freedom and #CommActUpdate: A Communications Law Fit for the Digital Age.
A Reader on New Neutrality and Restoring Internet Freedom provides a wealth of information and key insights into the long-running debate surrounding “net neutrality” regulation. The selected writings in this Reader explore both legal and policy rationales that support the FCC’s December 2017 action. They explain why the FCC’s pro-consumer, pro-investment, pro-innovation approach to regulation of broadband Internet services that was adopted in the Restoring Internet Freedom Order should be preserved.
#CommActUpdate: A Communications Law Fit for the Digital Age offers a roadmap for a comprehensive update of federal communications law. The book is comprised of six scholarly responses submitted by the Free State Foundation to an earlier congressional process considering an overhaul of the Communications Act, along with a Preface and lengthy up-to-date Introduction providing a wealth of background information and context.

Found some copper for small mermaids and accessories for next week which I will work on, and more metal mermaids are on the agenda, plus I have been asked to do my large 3D metal garden herons and buzzards so if I have time I will do those too. | 2019-04-19T06:58:30 | http://www.metalmermaid.com/blog-for-metal-mermaid/metal-fish-sculptures |
Harvesting Alaska seafood ranks between oil and tourism in economic impact, according to a new report detailing on the commercial fishing industry.
The Juneau-based economics firm McDowell Group released an updated study on the economic impacts of the commercial fishing industry on Jan. 19. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, a private-state collaboration designed to increase Alaska seafood’s worldwide value, contracted the report.
According to the report, seafood created 41,100 full time equivalent jobs and $2.1 billion in labor income between 2013 and 2014; 17,600 of the total were Alaska resident commercial fishermen, who took a total ex-vessel income of $735 million in 2014.
The report found a growth in seafood employment from 2010-14, with more resident fishermen, processors, and total earnings and harvest levels. In 2014, the state had 500 more seafood jobs than 2010, representing a $24 million payroll growth.
Alaska is the country’s largest seafood producer, and hauling in fish, as well as processing and selling them, creates the largest source of direct private employment in the state.
Fisheries data can be hard to nail down, with swings in employment and harvest from year to year. The updated report takes the yearly averages from both 2013 and 2014 to smooth the data.
The report did not examine the economics of sport fishing or subsistence fishing.
The North Pacific is home to some of the most verdant marine ecosystems in the world, and the proof lies in harvest statistics. Sixty percent of the nation’s seafood landings — more than every other state combined — come from Alaska waters. The state exports more seafood than any other product, renewable or non-renewable. If Alaska were its own country, it would rank sixth in the world for seafood exports.
Production continues to rise. The 2014 seafood harvest totaled $1.9 billion in dockside prices. The resulting processed products raked in $4.2 billion on the wholesale market. The rising value comes mostly from the fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, or BSAI.
The revenue has benefits for the state.
“Commercial fishing and processing businesses pay substantial taxes and fees to operate in Alaska, including more than $138.6 million in 2014,” the report reads.
The large-scale fisheries output isn’t localized only in the Last Frontier. Supply chains and retails operations add up to a sizable national economic base resting on North Pacific fisheries. Alaska’s seafood industry creates 111,800 full time equivalent jobs nationally, with $5.8 billion in labor income and $14.8 billion in total economic output.
Alaska’s salmon is the ocean’s North Slope, as far as economic impact goes.
On the opposite end of the price spectrum is pollock, which lacks salmon’s fine dining appeal but compensates with versatility and sheer volume; the fish is the largest volume seafood harvest in the nation.
Salmon and pollock make up the bulk of Alaska’s seafood value, but the expensive delicacies carry their weight in spite of lower volumes harvested. Alaska crab, which commands high prices in both domestic and international markets, accounts for 14 percent of the harvest value. Another 10 percent of harvest value owes to halibut and black cod.
Alaska’s top five seafood landings areas display the diversity of fishermen’s business operations.
Dutch Harbor, the highest valued area, landed $450 million in wholesale value of groundfish and crab in 2014. Kodiak’s crab, groundfish, and salmon-based landings came in second at $284 million, and the largely sockeye-based Naknek processors — situated in Bristol Bay, the world’s largest sockeye run — third with $254 million. Cordova and Sitka netted $174 million and $129 million, respectively, of those area’s primarily pink, chum, and sockeye salmon, halibut, and black cod fisheries.
Fishermen can take a moment to feel pleased that BP’s layoffs and the state hiring freeze don’t touch the seafood industry. Oil and gas employ more people than the seafood industry because of the massive secondary impacts, but seafood employs more people directly than any other private industry in the state.
One fifth of Alaska’s private sector economy is seafood-based, whether as crew for a fishing vessel, on a processor’s slime line, or at the retail level.
Because fishing jobs are mostly seasonal, McDowell Group economists use the metric “full time equivalent” jobs to measure employment.
In Southeast Alaska, fishing is the top job creator. In terms of workforce size – nearly 10,000 full time equivalent jobs – seafood is the largest private sector employer in the region. Southeast Alaskans own more commercial fishing vessels, and have more shore processors, than any other Alaska region. Salmon reigns in Southeast; 72 percent of the regions wholesale value comes from salmon.
Southeast has more direct employment from fishing, but Southcentral has more resident commercial fishermen. One-third of Alaska’s resident commercial fishermen live in Southcentral, more than any other region with 7,000 full time equivalent jobs considering secondary impacts. In Southcentral, 86 percent of the total wholesale fisheries value is from salmon.
Kodiak, which hosts 10 different processors for its diverse fisheries, is the third largest commercial fishing port in the U.S. by volume and ex-vessel value. 5,150 direct jobs in fishing, processing, and support come from the region, and 8,350 full time equivalent jobs total considering secondary impacts.
Bristol Bay totals 4,650 full time equivalent jobs, and is almost entirely dependent on salmon, with 96 percent of wholesale value in the region from salmon.
The Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim area, as one of the lowest density areas in the state, has only 860 full time equivalent jobs related to commercial fishing. | 2019-04-21T08:24:25 | http://www.alaskajournal.com/2016-01-20/latest-mcdowell-group-seafood-report-shows-job-growth |

How Prone to Boredom Are You? Always Feeling Bored?
Are you easily bored? This is the boredom proness scale (BPS), developed by university researchers in the 1980s. It will measure how prone you are to boredom.
Bored already? Are we keeping you awake? I hope the quiz itself isn't too boring. It's only 28 questions, so hang in there. When it's over you can go out and play.

Much of the time I just sit around doing nothing.
I am good at waiting patiently.
I often find myself with nothing to do, time on my hands.
I often wake up with a new idea.
It would be very hard for me to find a job that is exciting enough.

I feel that I am working below my abilities most of the time.
Many people would say that I am a creative or imaginative person.
I have so many interests, I don't have time to do everything.
Among my friends, I am the one who keeps doing something the longest.
Unless I am doing something exciting, even dangerous, I feel half-dead and dull.
It takes a lot of change and variety to keep me really happy.
It seems that the same things are on television or the movies all the time; it's getting old.

The PAN08 is a multifunctional device. Each of the four channels can be used independently as an active DI box, line isolation box or booster.
The PAN08 is a multifunctional device. Each of the four channels can be used independently as an active DI box, line isolation box or booster. The combination socket input accepts unbalanced and balanced signals. The output has dual transformer balanced XLR jacks (front and rear). The signal level can be attenuated by 20 dB for microphone inputs, but can also be boosted in three stages by up to 18 dB for LINE inputs if necessary. With an output level of +12 dBu on a load of 600 Ω with 0.05 % THD / 40 Hz and an output noise level of less than -110 dBu, the unit meets even high professional standards. One special feature that is worthy of mention is battery power. The supply voltage may range from 9 to 18 V. Thus the PAN08 can also be used without mains power outdoors. | 2019-04-25T04:27:05 | http://www.sonicfrog.com.au/p/18/palmer-pan08-four-channel-di-line-isolator-booster |
Musings for the potting shed...: Finished or perfect?
"It's better for something to be finished than perfect" - discuss!
I don't know about you, but to me this sounds like the title of an A-Level English exam question, something which (ironically) is best to be both finished AND perfect when the invigilator signals for pens to be put down and essays handed in!
And as I've been thinking about this statement, I've questioned whether being finished and being perfect are mutually exclusive. Like the exam example above, there are certain things that we want to be both finished and perfect! But does everything have to be perfect? And what is perfect anyway?
As someone with perfectionist tendencies, I've noticed an unfortunate side effect in myself and in others over the years. Sometimes, maybe even quite often, wanting to make something perfect can mean that same thing never gets finished.. it remains incomplete. This inevitably leads to frustration!
When we moved to the West Midlands a few years ago, we bought a house "in need of some work". In fact it needed an awful lot of work. It had no carpets, no central heating, half a kitchen, single glazing, terrible colours, dodgy electrics, gardens waist high with overgrowth.. and it had been unoccupied for six months. It was so bad that even the estate agent tried to put us off (about the only time ever that an estate agent was anything less than effusive about a property). It was, however, pretty good value for money, and we do like a challenge!
But (and it's a big but), in order to make it habitable, in order to make it a home, it needed lots of work and quick. For a perfectionist like me (especially in the area of DIY and making things), I needed to take a deep breath and recognise that it was more important to redecorate the house and get it finished (so we could move in) than do everything absolutely perfectly. And so we did.. we got it finished (enough) rather than perfect.
Over the last few years I've been thinking a lot about creativity. After I'd been working at the same company for a decade it dawned on me that I'd put many of my creative passions, ambitions and desires on hold - subconsciously waiting for the perfect time to undertake them.
Of course, we know that there's never a perfect time to do anything - and waiting for this elusive serendipitous moment can lead to a kind of paralysis, a "rabbit in the headlights" effect, just like when we try to make things overly perfect and end up not making anything at all.
With many things in our culture we can become obsessed with "destination" and miss out on the day to day journey. Too often our head can be immersed in what might or might not happen in the future and we can miss out on the importance and engagement with our day to day life.
Perhaps especially in the area of creativity, the sense of honing our craft means that we need to go through creative cycles - and finishing is an important (if not the most important) part of the creative cycle.
Discussing songwriting with a friend many years ago, he confessed that he'd started lots of songs but had never been able to finish one, as effectively it had never been perfect enough for him, which is a real shame. I feel fortunate that as a teenager, a wise musician friend taught me about the discipline of completing songs. I remember sitting in his lounge talking around his piano, as he told me how important it was to come up with a complete song "even if there's only one part of the song you really like". This nugget of advice has been very freeing over the years, although not always easy to apply!
Another unfortunate side effect of being a perfectionist can be impatience - especially with ourselves. We can set ourselves ridiculously high standards and then expect to be perfect at something from the start.
A few months ago I bought myself an accordion from eBay (my learner theme manifesting again.. I do love to learn new instruments!). After the shock had subsided of submitting a far higher bid than I intended (£1100 instead of £11.00), but subsequently having won the auction for a mere £12.50 (thank goodness I was "sniping" and no-one had time to bid me up to my maximum!) I collected my new instrument from the vendor and brought it home.
It needed some repair, a few new keys and key tops for example, which I was happily and successfully able to do myself in my workshop. Having repaired it, I set about playing it. Now this is a "daddy" accordion.. a massive 1930s vintage Hohner 120 bass.. which means it's fully chromatic and can be played in any key. I can play a bit of piano, and I understand chords, so in my (perfectionist) mind I expected myself to be able to pick my accordion up and dazzle straight off! As usual, the reality didn't quite match my aspiration and it's been a bit harder to learn than I hoped - for one thing you can't see your left hand at all, and there are 120 identical buttons to navigate by feel alone!
My point in saying this is that it's easy to get impatient with ourselves when things don't work out perfectly straight away. For creative types it's ok to allow ourselves to create imperfect things - often its more important for us to finish something than for it to be perfect. Knowing you can do things better next time round doesn't mean you're a failure. It's important to aim high, it's really important to do the best we can, but that doesn't mean we should beat ourselves up in the meantime (although we so often do). Some things genuinely take time.. 10,000 hours according to Malcolm Gladwell (and if you've never read Malcolm Gladwell please go to the library now and borrow every single book of his they have, especially Outliers and Tipping Point).
My dad is a hero of mine. He is a master craftsman, and we think in very similar ways, especially in our approach to making things. I wish I could make things as well as my dad but I can't - not yet at least! You see he's got many many years more experience than I, and it would be foolish of me to expect to be as brilliant as he is without going through all the hard work, mistakes and sheer elbow grease he's put in to his craft. Of course I can learn from him, but I have to allow myself to be "imperfect" in the meantime. So I have to force myself to finish my many making projects in the workshop EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT PERFECT, because I need to learn the art of finishing them off, varnishing etc. And every time I am improving, learning from mistakes and getting better.
There's an old adage that many of us will be familiar with, that you can't turn a stationary ship - you need it to be moving. And of course some ships have larger turning circles than others.. so too in our lives some things take longer than others. And maybe creativity is something that has a large turning circle.
One of the important things I'm continuing to learn is that it's healthier for me to enjoy the creative journey I'm on than to be overly focussed on the destination of being "perfect" at it. Accepting that I can make things better, but that the imperfect things I have made are the foundations on which the perfect things will be built.
In Stephen Covey's influential "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", the last habit is to "sharpen the saw".. to go through to process again, but better. This is one of the reasons why the art of finishing is so important, as it gives us the opportunity to start afresh and to apply the learning we gained on the last creation to the next one.
In New Caledonia there is a particularly bright species of crow. We know that all corvids (crows, rooks, ravens, magpies etc) are extremely clever, but this particular sub-species displays a remarkable characteristic previously only observed in humans. You see, they make simple tools - but more astoundingly, each generation has managed to communicate this knowledge to the next who have not only applied it, they have refined it! This is called the ratchet effect, and it's another fascinating perspective on the art of honing our creative skills - the more we go through the cycle, the more we can refine our tools, and the better we become. This is one of the reasons I'm blogging to the same title as my blog buddies each week - to sharpen the saw and improve my writing.
So is it better for something to be finished than perfect? Well yes and no, but the art of finishing is an important skill for us all to develop on our path to perfecting our craft. | 2019-04-23T14:40:21 | http://www.lukestrickland.co.uk/2014/02/finished-or-perfect.html |

Gaynor is Director of Operations and one of the longest serving members of the Making Space team.
Before joining the organisation she spent 7 years as a Houseparent in a residential school for children with autism. She then spent 3 years as Group Home Coordinator for a number of staffed homes-in-the-community for adults with autism.
In 1990, keen to be involved with a mental health charity, Gaynor moved to Making Space to take up the position of Assistant Manager at Sherdley Court.
She followed this with a period as Registered Manager at Rivacre before becoming Assistant Residential Homes Manager in 1994. In 2001 she took over as Manager.
After only a year in this post she was appointed Head of Housing, Social & Healthcare Services. She held this position until 2005 and then took on the challenge of becoming Director of Operations.
Today, Gaynor’s responsibilities include the strategic and operational management of the organisation. In this role she focuses on supporting the strategic objectives of Making Space by achieving market competitiveness and delivering continuous improvement and quality services.
In addition, she is line-manager to the Director of Services.
Gaynor is also the Registered Nominated Individual for the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for all CQC Regulated services. This role underpins her commitment to continually improving the quality of the services Making Space provides, and to giving the people who use those services a greater say in how they operate. | 2019-04-26T14:27:57 | https://makingspace.co.uk/about/our-people/executive-management-team/gaynor-chisnall |
The talented playmaker will move to Sandy Park at the start of next season on a three-year deal and is Rob Baxter’s second acquisition for next term following the earlier arrival of Australian prop Greg Holmes.
Having been part of the Bath set-up since the 2012/13 season when he joined the club’s Academy ranks, Devoto admits the time has come for a fresh challenge and he sees the Chiefs as the ideal port of call.
“It’s a good move for me,” said the 22-year-old, who has amassed over 50 Premiership games for the Westcountry outfit. “Exeter are a very good club and they’ve shown over a number of years that they are very ambitious. I like the values they have created, especially in terms of working hard, and that kind of mirrors what I demand of myself.
“Having played against them a few times over the years, you know you’re always going to be in for a tough game and that you’ll be tested in every area. They are a side built around hard work, but who are also very skilful and who have a number of ways of causing you problems.
And whilst Devoto hopes for a warm welcome from the terraces, his arrival in Devon will see him reacquainted with a number of his former England Under-20s team-mates, such as Luke Cowan-Dickie, Sam Hill, Jack Nowell and Henry Slade.
“It will be nice to have a few familiar faces when I arrive,” he added. “Obviously I know a few of the lads from the Under-20s group, plus Ollie Woodburn is a good friend of mine and he’s told me he’s really enjoyed things since he moved down to the club.
“The likes of Hilly, Sladey, Dickie and Nowellsy, they’ve all come through over the last few years at the club and shown what good players they are. Obviously they’ve been managed really well by the coaching staff, who are now reaping their rewards for the faith they’ve put in them.
Devoto’s move has been warmly welcomed by head coach Baxter, who along with assistants Ali Hepher and Rob Hunter have closely monitored the Yeovil-born back for some time.
And whilst the Chiefs coaching team like what they see, so too does Devoto, who added: “When you play against Exeter it’s always a big ask, you know you’re going to be defending for long periods as their attack is very strong.
“Hopefully, I can help add bits and pieces to things, but I’m under no illusions how tough getting into the team will be. You only have to look at the competition within the backs to see what strength they have.
Before Devoto heads West, he still has to wrap up his final year in Bath colours and the player himself has paid tribute to his current club.
“I’m massively grateful to so many people at Bath,” said Devoto, who this week was called into the England EPS squad by new head coach Eddie Jones. | 2019-04-19T08:39:27 | https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/exeter/community-hub/blog/view/devoto-seals-move-to-the-chiefs/ |
He never taught any law or practice contrary to the Written Law. Only after his death... many of his disciples introduced practices and doctrines altogether foreign to him, removing thereby the cornerstone of the Law while winning the multitudes.
The winning team like the conquering army claims everything in its path and seems to say that only winning is important. Yet like getting into a college of your choice or winning an election or marrying a beautiful mate, victory is fraught with as much danger as glory. Victory has very narrow meanings and, if exaggerated or misused, can become a destructive force.
The player of the inner game comes to value the art of relaxed concentration above all other skills; he discovers a true basis for self-confidence; and he learns that the secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard. He aims at the kind of spontaneous performance which occurs only when the mind is calm and seems at one with the body, which finds its own surprising ways to surpass its own limits again and again.
Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem invincible.
History offers examples of winning in diplomacy after losing in war.
If you choose your battles wisely, you'll be far more effective in winning those that are truly important.
In my experience, very few politicians have solid principles that they are unwilling to sell out for the sake of winning elections. They are, most of them, "the hollow men, stuffed men" of whom T. S. Eliot wrote, and in Clinton we have perhaps as extreme an embodiment of this professional deformation as can be unearthed.
A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.
The belief that man is an irresolute creature pulled this way and that by two forces of equal strength, alternately winning and losing the battle for his soul; the conviction that human life is nothing more than an uncertain struggle between heaven and hell; the faith in two opposed entities, Satan and Christ - all this was bound to engender those internal discords in which the soul, excited by the incessant fighting, stimulated as it were by the constant promises and threats, ends up by giving in and prostitutes itself to whichever of the two combatants has been more obstinate in its pursuit.

When we were children, summertime meant endless outdoor fun. As teens, we sunbathed with baby oil to ensure the darkest tan. Fast-forward to adulthood. Add cumulative exposure to ultraviolet light to a thinning ozone layer and you have a higher incidence of skin cancer. But while cancer is a serious concern, you don’t have to become a summer shut-in. Use these tips to help you safely enjoy your season in the sun.
For years, Northside Hospital Cancer Institute experts and Atlanta meteorologists alike have warned to stay indoors during the heat of the day. Avoid the peak hours of the sun. Its rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so try to schedule outdoor activities around those times.
Liberally apply sunscreen about 20 to 30 minutes before going outside. Because the sun emits two types of harmful rays—UVA and UVB—your sunscreen should provide “broad-spectrum” protection against both, with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
Reapplying sunscreen may be the most neglected step in the sun safety regimen. Don’t just put it on and forget it. Sunscreen should be reapplied about every two hours while you’re outdoors, and every 40 minutes if you’re swimming.
Wear a hat that protects your face, neck and ears. Choose one with a wide brim at least three to four inches around for suitable coverage. The bucket and wide-brimmed farmer’s hats, in a lightweight straw or cotton twill, are two classic, stylish choices.
While trees and umbrellas provide protection, you still need to protect yourself under them. The sun’s rays can scatter, penetrate and reflect to reach you.
Covering up in dark, tight-knit fabric is the best way to protect your skin, but it’s no fun in the summer heat. Fortunately, some companies now make lightweight clothing with effective sun protection. These items bear an ultraviolet protection factor or UPF (think of it as an SPF for fabric) of 15 to 50 on their labels.
Forget paparazzi cameras; you have a better reason to shield your eyes. The eye area is incredibly vulnerable. Prolonged sun exposure can damage your eyes and increase your risk of developing eye disease.” Choose sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation.
Though each of these tips is important, adhering to one or two isn’t enough. Doing just one thing won’t adequately protect you against the extensive sun exposure you get in the summer months. Wear the hat, the clothing, the sunglasses and the sunscreen. They’re all essential—for everyone.

I thought it fitting to release this blog today since it's International Women's Day. I love to share stories of women who have courageously transformed their lives, so when I was introduced to Charlene Bazarian, I immediately wanted to feature her on my blog. Charlene, like many women, juggles a million and one jobs. She's "mom" to three boys, wife, lawyer, part-time DJ, and most recently fitness guru.
Sixteen years ago, Charlene hit her heaviest weight of 208 pounds. It was then that she decided "enough was enough" and she challenged herself to get healthy. At age 51, she now maintains a svelte 117 pounds and has gone from a size 22 to size 2! This inspirational woman has been featured in magazines (most recently Oxygen Magazine) and generously shares her tips, experiences and knowledge with others. I feel lucky to know Charlene and I'm so excited to share her story with you.
Susan: You balance a lot of different roles...lawyer, mom, fitness expert--even DJ! How do you do it all and keep yourself healthy?
Charlene: You make time for the things that are important to you. I truly find that my workouts give me the energy and strength to handle all that life throws my way. I often try to multitask by working out while my boys are at karate or soccer or by hopping on the exercise bike when I want to watch TV. I use a lot of "to do lists" to stay on task, which even include working out as an action item!
S: What was your "aha" moment?
C: After I had my first son I had hit my highest OMG weight of 208 lbs. I had treated myself to a day of beauty at a spa and was mortified when I had to return the robe as the "one size fits all" size was too small! It was then that I started my "all out" assault on losing close to 100 pounds!
S: How did you set weight loss goals?
C: My weight gain, like many women experience, had been gradual...a few pounds in college and law school and then more after I got married and pregnant. I set mini goals for myself to avoid being overwhelmed...the thought of losing 100 pounds all at once was just too much! I tried to set 5-10 pound goals and then aimed for the next 5-10. I rewarded myself with non-food treats, like a manicure or massage. Between changing my diet in a big way and exercising (like crazy), I lost the weight and have been able to keep it off.
S: What does your diet consist of? What do you typically eat...and never eat?
C: I start off the day with a lemon water. Breafast has been almost the same every day for years, which consists of a Luna Bar and coffee--I look forward to it every morning! Luna Bars were a huge part of my success as they're filling, just 180 calories and delicious (I like mine chilled since it takes longer to eat!). I always keep one in my handbag for emergencies so I'm not tempted to make a bad choice. Around 10:00 a.m. I'll have a Muscle Milk Organic drink and almonds and an orange. Lunch can be a wrap sandwich on Joseph's Oat bran and Flax Seed Wraps, or a bowl of whole oatmeal with protein powder, berries and almonds. I also love making protein pancakes for lunch. I have another snack in the afternoon, which can be almonds and a banana, and dinner is usually a lean protein (chicken, turkey, lean beef or fish), lots of green veggies and a sweet potato or brown rice. I almost never eat pasta, bread or white rice. I can't have a little, so it's easier not to have it at all.
S: Can you share some of your top 10 best weight loss tips?
1. Make workouts like "brushing your teeth" --something you do without question.
2. Plan: Keep a healthy snack in your handbag for emergencies. Check restaurant menus online before eating out. Bring a healthy treat to parties so you know you'll have something to eat.
3. As a general rule "if it's white, don't eat it". White chocolate Luna Bars and cauliflower are exceptions!
4. Try not to drink your calories.
5. Switch up your routines regularly and choose an activity that you genuinely enjoy. I love taking dance lessons, running stadium steps with my girlfriend on Sunday mornings and going for bike rides with my boys.
6. Eat as many unprocessed and whole foods as possible. For instance, eat a whole orange instead of drinking orange juice.
7. BLT's count! These are bites, licks, tastes and sips. They all add up to calories!
8. Think of food as a choice and not as a reward or punishment. You don't "deserve" a decadent dessert, nor are you "depriving" yourself if you don't have it. It's a mind-set!
9. Don't get comfortable with success. There's no finish line or touchdown dance.
10. Make contracts with yourself. I won't watch tv unless I'm on a piece of cardio equipment. I DVR my favorite shows and hop on the bike when I want to watch!
S: The biggest complaint midlife women have is the midsection. It seems to expand and thicken as we get older. How can we battle the bulge? Is there hope?
C: Yes there is hope! The mid-section is truly where diet and workouts collide. You can't "out-exercise" a bad diet and all the crunches in the world won't uncover a six-pack hidden by fat. I do a ten minute ab workout, typically a segment from one of my beloved Cathe Friedrich DVD's (love Ab Hits). Cardio and clean eating will help show off well trained abs, but if you're eating clean all week and splurge on the weekends then all bets are off. Consistency is important!
S: Tell me about some of your amazing interviews...most recently with Oxygen Magazine!
C: I try to encourage others by being very open about my experiences. My weight loss led to being featured as a success story in Good Housekeeping Magazine in 2012. After I lost the weight, a few girlfriends messaged me on Facebook asking me how I did it, so I began helping them. As they began to lose weight, several of their friends started messaging me as well, so I created a Facebook page and blog dedicated to giving diet/fitness tips and healthy recipes. I know my journey has encouraged a lot of people to lose weight so I try to live up to it by making the right choices. I think having been on both sides of the spectrum gives me an appreciation for the struggles, effort, and work that goes into becoming fit. I think everyone has a vision of where they want to be physically and mentally, but getting there can be a complicated road. I feel tremendous joy in coaching others by sharing information and providing encouragement. I've learned many lessons the hard way and from repeated failures, but I'm thrilled that I'm no longer on the sidelines of life! I went on to be featured in Pop Sugar Fitness, Fitfluential, and on the Luna Bar website. I recently sent it my story to Oxygen Magazine and was so excited to be chosen as a fitness success story --I'm currently in the March issue!
S: Of course I'm going to ask a style-related question! What was your style like before the weight loss? Do you have more fun with clothes now?
C: My style has definitely changed a lot over the years. I've gone from suits to pant suits to jeans. As I got heavier the sizes just kept going up, but the selection and choices got slimmer. As I was losing weight I would buy very few clothes, telling myself that I wasn't staying in those sizes for long. I also promised myself a splashy new wardrobe as a reward for reaching a goal. One of my stand-out memories was when I tried on a pair of pants at a store and the salesperson asked if I needed a another size. I remember tearing up as I told her that I had the smallest size and that the waist was TOO BIG! I now enjoy clothes shopping as I feel confident that I can rock more looks---the hard work a the gym pays off!
S: What's next for you? What do you want to do in the future?
C: I'd love to find a way to turn my passion for fitness and writing into a career. It's an incredible experience to hear from people around the world telling me that something I wrote gave them hope, encouragement, and the inspiration to get healthier. I occasionally put competing in a fitness competition on my "bucket list" too. I was lucky enough to meet Jillian Michaels and would also love to meet Gilad Janklowicz and Cathe Friedrich, two of my favorite home workout (DVD) instructors--they've both been so supportive of my journey through social media.
S: What would you like to leave us with?
C: "You're no busier than a fit person".
You can follow Charlene on Facebook, Instagram and on her blog.
Thanks for sharing her amazing story! She looks FAB!!
She is truly inspirational. I learned so much!
Isn't she Peggy?? She'd be great on your podcast!
loosing weight is just got easier with spinning bikes if you 30 minute spin workout everyday you could lose out about 200 calories a day.
Great share for everyone....Workouts can directly or indirectly can help you lose fat, but its of no use if you have are leading an unhealthy lifestyle & having a bad diet , and it has been proven that fat reduction goals are better achieved through nutrition then through exercise.
Based on the producer, PhenQ achieves this by focusing on excess fat in A few various ways: burning up extra fat, controlling your appetite, preventing fat production, and increasing mood and so energy. Check out Phenq review (updated this year): Does this product really work? blog post.
In case you're attempting to get more fit, you have to understand that digestion of yours kicked off.

For the third consecutive season, a member of the Goucher College men's tennis team has been named the Landmark Conference's Senior Scholar Athlete, as Jack Hodges (London, England) was named the recipient of this years award on Wednesday morning.
Hodges joins Midori Fujitani and Seth Hoesman as Gophers who have earned the Landmark's Senior Scholar Athlete award over the last three seasons. It is also the fourth time in the last five years that a Goucher men's tennis student-athlete earned the award, as David Spivey took the award in 2014.
Also, Hodges joins women's cross country's Soliana Goldrich as student-athletes who earned the Senior Scholar Athlete award from the Landmark at Goucher in their respective sports during the 2017-18 season.
The Senior Scholar Athlete award for Hodges bookends an incredible career for him at Goucher College both on the court and in the classroom.
On the court, Hodges has been the leader of a team that has won three straight Landmark Conference Championships, captured 73 total matches, and won a pair of contests in the NCAA Championship, including a 5-0 victory over Messiah in the First Round of competition this season.
In 2017-18, Hodges played at number one doubles and number two singles for the majority of the year, finishing with a 19-9 record in singles and a 16-11 mark with partner and first-year Tetsuya Ota (Winter Park, Fla.).
Playing in the number two spot on the lineup for most of the year in singles, Hodges posted a 14-6 record there on the year and went a perfect 7-0 in singles action during the conference season. Throughout the year, Hodges broke two Landmark Conference records: most career doubles victories (62) and most singles victories in conference play (26), as well.
For his efforts at both singles and doubles, Hodges named the Landmark Conference's Player of the Year earlier this month, becoming just the second player in program history to earn the honor. He was also named to the All-Landmark Conference First Team in both singles and doubles, as well, marking the third time he nabbed a spot on the All-Landmark Teams in his career.
Off the court, Hodges has recorded a 3.92 GPA at Goucher as a dual French and English major at the College. He has also served as a student instructor in the French department at Goucher, helping both student and professors.
The honorees of the Senior Scholar Athlete awards must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives, and sports information directors. In all, the Landmark Conference selects 22 senior scholar-athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics. | 2019-04-24T15:02:30 | https://athletics.goucher.edu/sports/mten/2017-18/releases/20180523foyrm5?dec=printer-decorator |
President Clinton, in a trip today to Grand Canyon National Park, will sign proclamations creating three new national monuments � the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument and the Agua Fria National Monument in Arizona, and the California Coastal National Monument. The President also will sign a proclamation expanding Pinnacles National Monument in California. The newly protected areas are already federal land and, beginning today, will be managed with the overriding purpose of preserving their unique natural, scientific and historic features.
A Century of Land Stewardship. Among the tools available to the federal government to preserve America�s natural heritage is the Antiquities Act, which authorizes the President to create national monuments on federal land to protect �objects of historic and scientific interest.� The Act was passed by Congress in 1906 and first used by President Theodore Roosevelt who, precisely 92 years ago today, created the Grand Canyon National Monument -- the core of what later became Grand Canyon Park. In the years since, almost every President has protected natural and historic sites under the Act. These lands, some of which Congress later designated as parks, include Death Valley, California�s Muir Woods, Alaska�s Glacier Bay, Wyoming�s Grand Tetons, portions of Washington�s Olympic Peninsula, New Mexico�s Carlsbad Caverns, and Utah�s Bryce and Zion canyons. Today, more than 100 monuments in 24 states and the Virgin Islands protect some 70 million acres, about 10 percent of all federal lands.
Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument � Just over 1 million acres of deep canyons, mountains, and buttes on the north rim of the Grand Canyon with a vast and colorful array of geologic features; evidence of prehistoric peoples; relics of 19th-century settlers; and diverse plant and animal life, including rare species such as the California condor and desert tortoise.
Agua Fria National Monument � A 71,100-acre site 40 miles north of Phoenix that contains some of the most extensive prehistoric ruins in the Southwest, including spectacular petroglyphs, terraced agricultural areas, and rock pueblos once inhabited by communities of several thousand.
California Coastal National Monument � Thousands of islands, rocks and reefs along the 840-mile California coast providing critical feeding and nesting grounds for seabirds, including the threatened brown pelican; and for marine mammals, including the threatened Steller sea lion.
Pinncales National Monument � A 7,900-acre expansion of Pinnacles monument south of San Jose (created in 1908) to help preserve the monument�s unusual rock formations, its watershed, and important habitat for species including golden eagles, prairie falcons, and red-tailed hawks.
The overriding purpose in managing these lands will be protection of the unique natural, scientific and historic features identified in today�s proclamations. Valid existing rights, such as water rights and prior mining claims, will be maintained. Other existing uses, such as grazing and hunting, generally will not be affected (although hunting will no longer be permitted in the Pinnacles expansion area). At the Arizona monuments, the current prohibition on off-road vehicles will be made permanent. No new mining claims may be filed and, in some areas, the proclamations reserve water rights for the federal government. | 2019-04-19T18:52:27 | https://clintonwhitehouse4.archives.gov/WH/New/html/20000112.html |
3D printers that have two nozzles. They can extrude two different materials or colors in one print. They are often used to extrude one material for the printed part and one material for support (usually a dissolvable material). | 2019-04-24T04:47:22 | https://3dstartpoint.com/glossary/dual-extrusion/ |
With the buildup of lint in your dryer lines, your dryer’s efficiency is reduced, requiring longer drying periods.
This could also mean that you’re spending more of your hard-earned money on drying laundry. Even more importantly, this blockage could become a fire hazard, as lint is a highly flammable substance.
If you’re noticing that it is taking longer for your clothes to dry, then it may be time to have your dryer lines cleaned. Regular maintenance will also increase the lifespan of your dryer by preventing your fan motor from being overworked. Superior Air Duct Cleaning also offers replacement options for older plastic lines, upgrading them to new, professionally installed aluminum flex ducts. These newer options offer extra peace of mind for customers, as if a spark ever occurs, it will be contained within the line and not spread into your home.
Dryer hose is disconnected from the dryer.
The dryer is precisely cleaned using air-powered instruments.
Flexible air rods are inserted along the entire dryer line with special fittings that loosen the lint from the walls of the line.
A large vacuum draws out all of the debris.
All components are then reassembled and the dryer is turned on and inspected to ensure proper cleaning. If required, an aluminum flex line would then be installed in place of the pre-existing plastic line.
Below is an article from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal.
At Superior, we offer specialty services for condos and town homes using lift equipment to access exhausts from the exterior. This allows for efficient service without access into resident units.
Last year, 340 household clothes dryer fires were reported in Ontario. Almost one-third of these incidents were due to a lack of maintenance. Provincial statistics indicate that, on average, 300 clothes dryer fires are reported annually. Although there have been no fatalities within the past 10 years, up to 15 injuries and a few million dollars in property damage results each year.
The design and internal mechanism of most clothes dryers are similar. The majority come in two sizes: full and compact. (Compact dryers are commonly found in apartments stacked above the washing machine to save space.) Heat for clothes dryers is provided by an electrical, natural gas or propane source, with electrical being the most common. At this time, fire hazards do not appear to be associated with any particular brand of clothes dryers.
Normal clothing is dried at an air temperature of about 60°C while permanent press clothing is dried at about 50°C. Clothing made of cotton fabric or man-made plastic material when combined with the accumulated lint in the dryer has an approximate flash ignition and auto-ignition temperature above 200°C. Safety features built into clothes dryers include two or three high-limit switches at the heating elements which stops any thermal runaway condition by cutting off the power at about 120°C. Under normal conditions, there is a considerable margin of safety before the ignition point of clothing is reached. In addition, the dryer drums within the dryer cabinets are designed to act to as a fire barrier to slow the spread of fire.
The lack of maintenance/care and improper installation (i.e., incorrect venting) are the leading causes of fires in clothes dryers. Fires also occur when flammable materials are inadvertently put into these appliances. If a fire occurs, it will often start within the drum of the dryer and be fueled by lint that has accumulated in the dryer cabinet. In the event that plastic ducting is used to vent the dryer instead of metal ducting, the fire will not be contained within the dryer if the plastic ducting ignites or melts.
The attached information has been prepared to help minimize the fire hazards associated with clothes dryers. To enhance public awareness, fire departments are encouraged to distribute this information within their communities.

When I was a child, mom used to take me (and later, my little sister and me) to church. We were raised Lutheran, and raised in a very small church; my confirmation class had three people in it, including myself. I continued attending church until I graduated from high school, mostly because it was normal in our house and because I was a part of the choir, which I loved.
I stopped going to church at age 17, and haven’t been since, with unfortunate exception for religious funerals.
However, this morning I was watching some documentaries (my solution for boredom during my bouts of insomnia), including one (mediocre) called “The One Percent” and one (outstanding), “The Black Power Mixtape”, thinking about privilege. In a lot of ways, privilege is like the old story of talents.
Your skin color, your class at birth, your family of origin – these are things over which we have no control. We do have control over what we do, especially those born into privileged classes, racial strata etc. If you are born white, you can’t change and decide to be born black. You can choose to use your privilege to give opportunity to people who may not otherwise have a voice.
People who think this way need to burn for justice. We need to speak louder, use our place and our voices to amplify those marginalized by oppression. We need to remember our history and learn the lessons of Malcolm X, of Attica prison, of the Soledad brothers, of Angela Davis, of bell hooks. This is not anti-American. This is pro-American people.
When our time here is done, and we are asked what we have done to make this world better with our privilege and talents, how will you answer?
Okay, the title is way more important sounding than this post will be, but bear with me.
Last weekend I was in another state and became very ill. Severely ill. Like, three days of nastiness. While the cause of my disgusting escapades is still unclear (most likely alcohol + woman times + flu), the whole thing got me thinking about sickness and who is in charge of you when you’re sick.
Now, this is fine advice. And probably accurate; being sick is amazingly dehydrating. But it’s not really a great idea to pour a couple glasses of water into an empty, heaving, already queasy stomach. Despite my insistance that water was not really sounding that great and that slamming a glass or two wasn’t the best idea, this friend insisted (and narrowly avoiding it coming right back up).
Grossness of that story aside, it bothered me that this friend didn’t listen to me, emphatically telling him this advice was maybe not the greatest for me at this point in time. Why did he insist? Why didn’t he ask my preferences? Why didn’t he listen even after I was violently ill after following this advice? | 2019-04-19T15:22:34 | https://theshamedynamic.com/2014/10/ |
Let’s face it; women have it much tougher than men. That isn’t a sweeping generalization, it’s a fact. Women of course have to endure the pain of child birth, they have menstruation cycles to deal with, later in life they have the menopause, they genetically find it much harder to lose fat, and much more besides this.
Yes, women have it tough, and unfortunately the hardships don’t stop there. Recent studies have found that genetically speaking, women are far more likely to suffer from anxiety than men. In fact, they are more than twice as likely to, but why is this? Well, allow me to fill you in, as we look at women and anxiety and at why being a woman will put you at a much greater risk of having anxiety.
Women often suffer from hypothyroidism – Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland functions far less efficiently than it should. This, results in a slow metabolism, which makes weight gain more likely and it much harder to lose weight. Already this is not ideal for women because their anxiety could be triggered by concerns over their weight.
However, as cellular metabolism is suppressed, the body produces far less of a neurotransmitter known as GABA, or Gamma-AminoButric Acid. GABA provides calming qualities and effects on the brain, helping it to relax in potentially overwhelming and stressful situations. The less GABA the body can produce, the far likely a woman will be to suffer from the symptoms associated with an anxiety attack.
Serotonin deficiencies are more common in women than men – When talking about women and anxiety, we can’t ignore serotonin. Serotonin is yet another neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of calmness, relaxation, and happiness. Low serotonin levels have been heavily linked with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and more conditions which negatively affect a person’s mental health.
In yet another one of life’s cruel twists, women also often suffer from serotonin deficiencies. In women, serotonin deficiencies are far more likely to result in anxiety, stress, or depression, than in men.
Women can experience Estrogen dominance – In women, the dominant sexual hormone is Estrogen. Estrogen, when elevated, has been found to enhance depression and anxiety-like symptoms by enhancing hypothyroidism. It also causes impaired adrenal function. The adrenal glands help produce stress-managing hormones to help alleviate the symptoms we experience when we feel stressed. Too much Estrogen means that the adrenal glands cannot cope and so we often feel overly stressed and anxious when Estrogen levels are too high.
Women are often more ruminative than men – Finally, when it comes to women and anxiety, another reason why anxiety is more than twice as common in women than men is because women are generally more ruminative than men. This basically means that they often think of things a great deal more than men. This can often be a good thing, but sometimes it can be detrimental and can result in them over thinking things, or worrying about problems that are not actually there.

Comfort & Versatility in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.
Whether it’s the whole family or bulky luggage that needs to go from A to B, there’s room for everybody and everything in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. Adjustable seats, a luggage compartment with folding floor and countless storage possibilities enable you to alter the space available to suit your requirements. Large doors make it easy to get in and out of the vehicle and the tailgate with its contactless opening and closing function (available as an option) ensures excellent loading comfort.
A MASTER OF TRANSFORMATION. Comfort & Versatility in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.
When someone wants to open the luggage compartment after a shopping spree, they usually have to awkwardly search for the key in their bags while standing in front of the car with their arms full. This has becomes unnecessary with the innovative Comfort Access system. In conjunction with the automatic operation of the tailgate, it enables contactless opening of the tailgate. A quick, directed wave of the foot under the rear bumper allows the tailgate to be opened via sensor. It then unlocks and swings open on its own. Sensors installed at different heights in the rear bumper detect the wave of the foot and open the luggage compartment. This innovative feature from BMW ConnectedDrive makes opening and loading the luggage compartment more convenient. Access is only granted when the system also detects the presence of an authorised car key.
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH FOLDABLE BACKREST.
The front passenger seat with foldable backrest is testament to the high flexibility and well thought out space concept. The backrest can be completely folded down and forward with a handle, creating a virtually flat surface. This enables longer items and sport equipment up to a length of 2.40 metres to be transported.
The elevated seat position has several advantages. It permits a significantly better view in all directions and for all passengers, which improves safety through better visibility and awareness. The elevated seat position also makes getting into and out of the car more comfortable for all passengers. It also impacts the appearance of the interior, giving passengers a better sense of the car's height and spaciousness.
To get your holiday off to a good start, you need to pack properly. Be assured of a relaxed time before you even hit the road with the flexibility of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. Its large doors, wide-opening tailgate, optional foldable passenger seat, adjustable rear seat bench and a luggage compartment floor, create space, seemingly out of nowhere. You can store your luggage, sports equipment and travel utensils in the spacious interior with no hassle at all.
The rear backrests, divisible in a 40:20:40 split, make the vehicle even more practical. The three pieces of the rear backrest can be folded down individually, or in any combination. In any arrangement, they create an opening which is level with the luggage compartment floor. This makes utilisation of the luggage compartment more flexible and allows for the easy transport of bulky luggage, or the comfortable seating of four people plus long items like surfboards.
Remote electronic rear backrest release makes it particularly easy to release the rear backrests and fold them down. With the push of a button, the backrests can be released from the luggage compartment. Switches for this purpose are located on the left and right sides. The left luggage compartment switch releases the segments that make up the left 40% and the centre 20% of the backrest. The right switch releases the segment that makes up the right 40%.
The seat adjustment feature for the rear seats includes seat length adjustment and backrest angle adjustment, as well as remote electronic rear backrest release.
The seat length and backrest angle adjustment increases seat comfort on the one hand and increases transport flexibility in the luggage compartment on the other. If tall passengers are seated in the rear, the seats can be shifted back to offer more leg room. If large pieces of luggage must be transported, the seats can be shifted forward along with the backrests to create more volume in the luggage compartment. The backrest angle adjustment also lets rear passengers comfortably and individually select their own seating position.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT WITH FOLDING FLOOR.
The luggage compartment with folding floor makes the vehicle even more practical. When the floor is closed, it creates a level surface that can be loaded with up to 420 kg of cargo, perfect for cases of drinks, baskets and bags. There is also further storage space located under the floor, with a volume of around 70 litres (without the optional emergency spare wheel), and a practical storage tray for smaller items. The folding floor can be easily opened in just a few steps to reach this additional space under the floor, providing simple and comfortable access. | 2019-04-25T14:26:53 | https://www.bmw-nigeria.com/en/all-models/2-series/activetourer/2014/comfort-versatility.html |

The new CGAP book, Access for All: Building Inclusive Financial Systems, provides an optimistic assessment of ten years of microfinance and offers strategies for the future.
A certain amount of corruption is grounded in culture and immune to carrots and sticks.
Owen points us to the foreign aid face-off being run by the LA Times. Or is it a Columbia vs. NYU subway-showdown? Easterly handily won an earlier round.
Aid should be provided with clear targets and aimed at measurable results, and both donors and recipients should be held more accountable for achieved specified goals. This will require specifying up front exactly what a particular aid program is designed to achieve: building so many roads of a particular quality or immunizing a certain number of children. It will also require assessments by independent monitors, not by the aid agencies themselves.
CGAP has released a new note on sustaining microfinance in post-tsunami Asia. A concise and short two pages. Also see disasters and microcredit.

‘She is a small woman with a globally familiar face, a hundredcarat smile - when she chooses to turn it on - and a thousand years of history at her back. She reigns in a world which has mostly left monarchy behind, yet the result of her reign is that two-thirds of British people assume their monarchy will still be here in a century’s time. She is wry and knowing, but she feels a calling. All this is serious. She can brim with dry observations but she seems empty of cynicism. She is not a natural public speaker.
But there she is, in May 2011 and dressed in emerald green, arriving for her first visit to the Republic of Ireland. Aged eightyfive, she makes one of the most politically significant speeches of her life. “It is a sad and regrettable reality that through our history our islands have experienced more than their fair share of heartache, turbulence and loss. These events have touched many of us personally ... To all those who have suffered as a consequence of a troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy.” This is a highly emotional trip. (…). Nobody else from Britain could have made such a visit of high-profile reconciliation, covered by more than a thousand journalists and reported all round the world. No British politician has been around for long enough, or been personally touched so closely, or could claim to speak for Britain itself. Ireland’s President Mary McAleese speaks for her people warmly and well, the first Northerner and the second woman to serve in the job. But no Briton other than the Queen could speak in that way for the British.
There she is again, just a few days later, welcoming President Barack Obama to stay at Buckingham Palace. In the gusty sunshine overlooking the lawn there is picture-postcard pomp - a guard of Household Cavalry, marching soldiers, bagpipes, national anthems, the reverberations of artillery salutes. On the eve of his visit, speaking in Washington, Obama had gone out of his way to praise the Queen in lavish if not entirely politically accurate terms as “the best of England”. His earlier visit had gone spectacularly well. Even so, this is a relationship which is also, in a gentler and more personal way, about friendship and reconciliation.
For when Obama first became US president there had been unease in London. Here was a man who seemed cool about the (exaggerated) “special relationship” with Britain. He had no personal ties - or rather, just one, which was unhappy and about which he had written himself. His grandfather had been arrested, imprisoned and tortured in Kenya. The early years of the Queen’s reign had been marked by a brutal war against the nationalist Mau Mau there. Obama is a supremely professional politician, very unlikely to allow personal history to influence his decision-making, but the unease was there. Once the pomp was over the Queen did her level best to make him and his wife Michelle feel especially welcome, showing the couple to their bedroom.
As head of state, Queen Elizabeth is the living symbol of nations, above all that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - though another fifteen besides, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and smaller countries, down to Tuvalu. She is not like most other constitutional monarchs. The British state has no single written constitution nor any founding document. About a third of the Dutch constitution, by contrast, explains what the Dutch monarch’s duties are. Spain's king is part of one of Europe’s oldest and grandest royal houses, the Bourbons; but his job is strictly limited in the careful prose of the Spanish constitution.
The British Queen’s authority is more like a quiet growl from ancient days, still quietly thrumming and mysterious. She stands for the state - indeed, in some ways, at least in theory, she is the state. She is the living representative of the power-structure that struggles to protect and sustain some 62 million people, and another 72 million in her other “realms”.
She is not the symbol of the people. How could she or anyone represent the teeming millions of different ethnic groups and religions, of every political view, shape, bias and age? Her enthusiasm for the Commonwealth of nations, which is not the private passion of many British politicians, has made her more interested in the lives of the new black and Asian Britons than one might expect. Receptions at Buckingham Palace are generally more socially and ethnically mixed than they are at Downing Street, or in the City. She is at her most relaxed and smiling with young people, nervous people and unflashy people. Watching her at official occasions, it is clear that the chores are the grand dinners and speeches.
Yet, like it or not, she is the symbol of the authority which drives the state servants and laws - the elections, armies, judges and treaties which together make modern life possible. For sixty years she has appeared to open her Parliament, to remember her nation’s war dead, to review her troops or to attend services of her Church. “Britain” cannot go to the Republic of Ireland to finally heal a political breach that goes back to the Irish struggle for independence in the 1920s - but the Queen can. “Britain” cannot welcome a pope or a president. She can.
She has great authority and no power. She is a brightly dressed and punctual paradox. She is the ruler who does not rule her subjects but who serves them. The ancient meaning of kingship has been flipped; part of the purpose of this book is to explain how, and why, that has been done. Modern constitutional monarchy does not mean subjection, the hand pressed down on an unruly nation. Instead it offers aversion of freedom. For the Crown is not the government. There is a small, essential space between them. It would be rude to say that ministers are squatters in the state - for governments come from parliaments which are elected, the ultimate bastions of our liberty. Nevertheless, ministers are lodgers in the state. They are welcome for a while, but have no freehold rights. The Queen stands for continuity. This is a dull word, but when asked what the Queen is really about, “continuity” is the word used most often by other members of the royal family, by prime ministers, archbishops and senior civil servants. What do they mean? Not simply the continued existence of the country or the state. It is true that the state is a living and valuable presence before and after any one government. People look back to the past and imagine a future that outlives them: monarchy takes a real family and makes it the rather blatant symbol of that existential fact. So a constitutional monarchy claims to represent the interests of the people before they elected this government, and after it has gone. It remembers. It looks ahead, far beyond the next election.
The distinction between state and government is an essential foundation of liberty. In Britain a pantomime of ritual has grown up to express it. At the annual State Opening of Parliament, once in a year, the Queen reads out her prime minister’s words, ventriloquizing for her government. She speaks with deliberate lack of emphasis or emotion: nobody must be able to hear her own feelings break through. A junior minister is taken hostage at Buckingham Palace to guarantee her safety and underline the separation of politics and state. When she leaves Westminster, he is released (after a decent drink) and normal politics resumes. The state and the government have come together, touched hands, and gone their separate ways. Other countries have a similar distinction, expressing it through written documents or powerless elected presidents; the British have long preferred a person.
This is the job. In practice it is a little harder than it looks. When the most important foreign leaders arrive for a state visit, the Queen greets them in the country’s name with a smile and a gloved handshake and small-talk, again deliberately designed never to offend. She offers house-room and pays kind attention to people she may privately regard as abominable or merely hideous bores. Guests at Buckingham Palace or at Windsor will be guided around by the Queen in person. She will have checked the rooms first herself, trying to make sure suitable books are left by the bed, that the flowers look good, and that everything is welcoming. At the grand dinners she will have overseen the food, flowers and place-settings: will everybody be satisfied with where they are seated, and get on with the people put beside them?
When the guests arrive and the conversation starts she has to remember to dodge anything that might cause her ministers a headache. One former foreign secretary, Douglas Hurd, has watched her do it: “She’s got quite an elaborate technique. When a visiting head of state, or whatever it is, begins to talk politics, begins to explain what's happening in his country, she says, “That’s very interesting Mr President ... and I’m sure the foreign secretary would very much like to discuss that with you.” And so you’re shunted. The points change, and you’re shunted onto a different line.” Others talk about how she uses polite silence to deflect trouble; and it is very noticeable that when you ask people about their conversations with the Queen, they bubble about her wit and insight - and then tell you exactly (and only) what they said to her. Clever.
She knows almost every state secret of the past sixty years. Every day she works her way through state papers, sent in red boxes to her desk. Gus O’Donnell again: “We give the Queen the minutes of cabinet, for instance, so she’s up to date on the discussions, the decisions that have been made. She gets a lot of material about what the government’s actually doing, in her red boxes.” The Queen is very interested in issues involving the constitution - Sir Gus singles out current controversies about Britain’s switch to fixed-term parliaments and the future of the House of Lords - and anything to do with Britain's military.
She works hard too, to support the civil service, who, like her, have to be neutral but get very little applause from the public or press. In public, in her Christmas broadcasts and many speeches, she generally takes great care to stay on the safe ground of general expressions of goodwill, although at Christmas she often touches on issues of the day. For decade after decade she has dodged traps that could have led the monarchy into serious danger. She has made mistakes, of course. She is only human. But she has managed this dance of discretion so adroitly that many people have concluded that she is herself almost without character - neutral, passive, even bland.
She is not. She is capable of sharp asides, has a long memory, shrewd judgement and is a wicked mimic. She has been very frank about her children’s scrapes. She has closely observed and dryly described the oddities of foreign leaders and famous politicians. She has done it sitting playing patience during the evening at Balmoral, or with her legs tucked up under her on a sofa on the Royal Yacht, a glass of something cheerful in hand, or walking on beaches and hillsides. In private she has hugged and laughed; and been sharp with bores, dawdlers and slow eaters. Though she does not like confrontation, and has often sub-contracted that out to her husband, she has strong views about people. It is just that her job means she has to hide all this. Other people, celebrities and actors, are paid to have a “personality”. She is required to downplay hers.
The Queen is also “the fount of honours”. She bestows medals, crosses, knighthoods and ribbons, mostly (but not always) on the advice of politicians, to those who are worthy (and sometimes not so worthy). Each one requires conversation, eye-contact, briefing and time. She has so far bestowed 404,500 honours and awards, and personally held more than 610 Investitures (the grand honour-giving ceremonies) since becoming Queen in 1952.
Then there are the services: the Queen is Head of the Armed Forces. It is to the Queen that new soldiers, airmen and sailors pledge allegiance, and in whose name they fight and die. She has a special relationship with some regiments - her first official job was as a colonel-in-chief - and a general one with all. This means many more visits and ceremonies. She is also a patron of huge numbers of charities. They too lobby and plead for her time, often to encourage fundraising. From time to time the royal family settles down together to try to organize their charitable work. After the death of her mother and sister, the family sat down at Sandringham around a card-table and shared out the work they would have to take on. They discovered some charities had rather too many Royals associated with them, and others none at all; so some switching-around was agreed.
Beginning to feel tired? What about Abroad? The Queen never forgets that she is Head of the Commonwealth, a title invented in 1949 to allow the newly independent republican India to keep its association with Britain. This involves her in a huge amount of travel, in addition to visiting her other realms and the diplomatic and trade-boosting visits her government tells her each year she must make. In the Foreign Office they draw up their wish list for state visits and other visits, arguing about which trading partner has priority over which, and which leader would be particularly gratified if the Queen arrived. And then another negotiation about her diary begins.
Beyond all this, the Queen has run the monarchy as a national adhesive, making constant visits around the country to be seen, to greet and to thank people who are mostly ignored by the London power-brokers and commercial grandees. She holds parties, lunches and charity gatherings at Buckingham Palace and Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse to thank or bring together other lists of good-doers, civic worthies and business strivers. At special themed receptions she honours all sorts of disparate groups - they might be Australians in Britain, or young people in the performing arts, or campaigners for the handicapped, or the emergency services. These events are meticulously planned. The Queen hangs over the lists of who may be invited, and why. She plans the evenings and the choreography, and manages to remember at least many of the names. Only by watching the delight of elderly volunteers whom nobody else had thought to make much of or struggling young musicians, can one understand the quiet power of this mostly unreported monarchical campaign.

Ralph Northam in a statement said Saturday that while he was not in a racist picture in his 1984 medical yearbook, he had admitted to "darkening his skin" when he participated in a Michael Jackson dance contest.
But he has lost the support of prominent Democrats in Virginia and beyond, including from the Democratic Party's historically diverse and growing field of 2020 candidates, which includes two African-American senators, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California. Judge the man on what he is doing now, now on what costume he wore and what yearbook photo he chose - or even what he may have believed about race - in 1984.
Northam said at a news conference Saturday that he had prematurely apologized for appearing in a picture of a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
Northam has faced after multiple calls for him to resign after the yearbook image was wide spread on Friday. These pictures are wholly inappropriate. However, he later told fellow Democrats that it was not him in the picture, and that he would not resign.
Northam was scheduled to speak publicly Saturday afternoon.
Calls for his resignation quickly piled up. A CBS report revealed that a page from another yearbook, this one from Northam's time at the Virginia Military Institute listed "Coonman", a racial slur, as one of his nicknames. "Unfortunately, the existence of this photograph does not bring us together", Luria tweeted around 9 p.m. Friday night.
After the photo surfaced Friday, Northam released an apology acknowledging that he appeared in the photo, which showed one man in blackface and another dressed in KKK garb. However, they were at a loss to explain how a mix-up might have occurred that would result in the racist image being placed on his page in error, because students were responsible for submitting their own photos. 57th District Delegate Toscano Calls on Northam to Resign:"The yearbook photograph of Governor Ralph Northam that went viral yesterday is outrageously offensive and deeply troubling".
But Mr Northam appears to have virtually no path forward to remain in office without any institutional support.
"I have not seen it this bad since I was involved in the civil rights movement", she said, adding racism is "alive and well" in this country, in part because of Donald Trump's administration.
It hasn't been a good Saturday for Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.
"I'm not going to resign because it's not me in that photo", Lucas said, recalling what he told her.
Calls for his resignation came from the NAACP, the Republican Governors Association, Virginia's Republican Party and some national Democrats, including presidential hopefuls Sen. At a time when white nationalist movements are on the rise and becoming increasingly visible and openly violent, there is no room for excusing racist behavior. | 2019-04-23T04:06:40 | http://cfanespectaculos.com/2019/02/virginia-governor-now-believes-he-was-not-in-racist/ |

The next Open Game of Intuitive Treasure Hunter will happen in Chicago on Saturday, May 4th at 1pm. Click HERE to reserve a space for an up Open Game and to be alerted about dates.
Intuitive Treasure Hunter is a life-sized game played out in the world that fosters self-trust, group support, creative freedom, and big joy. Playing strengthens the part of you that knows the way, which leads to story-worthy adventures. The game starts with a promise and ends with a treasure.
Created in 2005 as a way to help young people keep open access to their creative intuition, ITH has since been played by people of all ages, from all over the world, for many purposes (some of which are mentioned to the right/just below). In addition to being shared privately, the game has been shared yearly at The Improv Retreat, and used to cap off iO Chicago's Summer Improv Intensives over the past three years.
"This was fantastic!! It has made me want to experience the city like this more. I loved my team and we learned so much about each other and ourselves. I feel like I learned how to see, all over again. Oh, and when it's your turn it's way harder than it looks! In the best possible way. I can't wait to play again."
"Highly recommended! I've done it several times, and each experience has become a treasured memory."
"Playing this was completely mind-expanding, and I know that the world needs it."
"The hunt highlighted that any walk down the street holds hundreds of possibilities. Being open to them leads you to a wealth of experiences, of which any might be your 'treasure'. Yevtushenko said that “No people are uninteresting“. Maybe that’s also true for alleys, storefronts, and sidewalks when you have permission to look and desire to see."
A promise is made at the beginning of this game, which is that if the rules are followed, each person's turn results in discovery of a personal treasure. Treasures may be objects, places, experiences, people, or insights. Below are some things found while playing ITH that had great significance to players. Because unique personal history is what makes something Treasure, these are best related through storytelling. To learn more about that, see THE STORIES page.
The next Open Game of Intuitive Treasure Hunter will happen in Chicago on Saturday, May 4th at 1pm. Click HERE to reserve a space for an up coming open game. Games generally happen monthly, on Saturdays or Sundays at 1pm. We meet at a central location, easily accessible by public transport and with good parking. The location will be emailed to you, along with a welcome and info letter after you register. The game ends by 4pm, and players return after a break to share stories and reflections from the game at 5pm. To join in, click "Register for an Open Game" on the right. There is a $20 workshop fee! Contact us with questions at admin@herechicago.org.

Wikipedia defines "canonical" as "reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality. It is "often used when describing … those books that all educated people have supposedly read, or are advised to read".
I would advise you to read the play-by-play action of the guy who hacked phpbb.com at http://hackedphpbb.blogspot.com. It is a simple tale of the specifics of what he did in that attack, yet it is a good representation of the sorts of things that all hackers go through when breaking into a website.
The description starts with the standard "script-kiddy" formula. The hacker keeps up-to-date with the latest exploits from sites like milw0rm. Specifically, a package with the name "phplist" has a newly announced vulnerability, he remembers that "phpbb.com" uses that package, so he tries out the new exploit and find it works.
A typical script-kiddy would, at that point, simply overwrite the homepage and move on. This hacker, however, goes deeper.
These days, behind every website is a database. It's the database that's the prize for hackers. Hackers are looking for e-mail addresses (for spam/phishing), passwords, and credit-card numbers. The 'phpbb.com' site has no credit card numbers, but it has 400,000 e-mail addresses, which is worth a fair amount of money on the underground market.
One protection against this is to encrypt passwords. This is done with a "one-way hash" against the password, he hash is stored in the database and the original password discarded. This allows the server to check whether the user enters the correct password when logging in, but does not store the password in a way that hackers can easily read. Thus, the phpbb hacker was able to get password hashes, but not the original passwords themselves.
Hackers can get around this with "rainbow tables". This is a method of creating a big database of password-to-hash combinations, so that you can simply look up the hash in the database to find the original password that generated it. There is more to it than that: rainbow tables compress the database hugely, so such lookups can take a while.
A lot of websites in the hacker underground provide rainbow cracking services. You submit files of hashes to them, they run the database lookups in the background, then return any passwords they find. One example is milw0rm's "cracker. All the ones I know about only let people submit a few hashes at a time, this hacker found one that allowed him to submit 28k hashes.
This is an obvious weakness, so the phpbb software has been upgraded to "salt" password hashes. A salt is a set of random characters added to a password before it's hashed. Then, the salt+hash is stored in the database. Let's assume that my password is "trustno1". The system then adds a 'salt', making the password '78dh37trustno1". It remembers the salt, so whenever I log back in, it automatically adds '78dh37' to my password to see if the hash matches.
This breaks rainbow tables. Combining the salt with the password makes it too big to precompute into a database. Now, when hackers steal passwords, the only option is running password cracking software that makes millions of guesses a second by combining dictionary words with the salt to see if any come up with the same result. They also might try brute-force attacks of trying every possible combination.
Rainbow tables, dictionary attacks, and brute-force attacks can be defeated by choosing a sufficiently long and complex password. One of the weaknesses of phpbb is that it doesn't require users to select complex/harder-to-hack passwords, but instead, let's them choose anything, including "password". As a result, few of their users have any passwords of adequate complexity.
Except for system administrators, hackers aren't really concerned with any particular user. They do the simplest and fastest cracking to get as many passwords as possible. They aren't going to spend two weeks brute-forcing your password if they can instead spend one day each on fourteen other passwords.
It appears that phpbb.com upgraded to the newer salted scheme a while back. Anybody who created an account or changed their password since that date has the newer, salted hashes. All the old accounts still have the unsalted passwords, which are the ones the hacker cracked. Presumably, the hacker can also get the newer passwords by using something like John the Ripper. Curiously, Solar Designer wrote both John the Ripper AND the new password hashing scheme for phpbb.
There is not a lot that phpbb.com can do to mitigate such attacks. They are "free" software, so they don't have a lot of money to spend dealing with security threats. The problem here was that they used a free "phplist" software, and the patch came out at the same time as the exploits. They didn't have enough manpower to get the patch installed before they were hacked.
On the other hand, there are some strategies they could use.
The first is to create "canary" accounts. Create accounts that have e-mail addresses, like "something-really-long-xyz-123@gmail.com". This account is not going to get any spam e-mail. When it does get its first spam, you'll know that it came from your database. When I create recommendations for clients, this is always one of the first things I suggest. (Likewise, if you are an e-commerce site, you should get dummy credit cards that only exist in your database). This won't stop you from getting hacked, but it will at least tell you when a hack has happened. (I suspect that this isn't the first time phpbb has been hacked - just the first time it's been made public).
The second thing is to fix the password problem. They should force users to create more complex passwords when they log in. A six-character password consisting of numbers, upper/lower case, and symbols can be brute-force cracked in about a half-hour on a modern computer. I would suggest at least 8 character passwords, containing at least one symbol.
They should upgrade the unsalted hashes to newer salted hashes. Remember that since they don't know the original password, they can't in theory upgrade them. One way around this is to simply run a cracking tool, like this hacker did. Extract the password from the database, do the rainbow crack on it, and if it's found, hash it the new way and put it back in the database. For the remainder of the passwords, add something to the login script: when the user logs in, you have their plaintext password for a few moments, so you can upgrade it right then. My guess is that 90% of user's passwords can quickly be upgraded this way.
Lastly, I would re-architect their software to put the details hackers want (e-mail, password hashes, credit cards) within a different administrative domain. Put that information on a different server. Harden that server so only a single port is open. Make an API that allows you to do things like check passwords, but not ever read passwords. Thus, when a hacker gets into their front-end, they won't be able to compromise that backend accounts machine. It's the same principle as "shadow passwords". The /etc/passwd file contains all the normal account information, but the "shadow" password file contains the account information and cannot be read by normal users.
Update: PHBB3 already automatically upgrades passwords to the new hash on login (I assumed it only upgraded users when they changed passwords). A reader named "Erik" suggests something even smarter for the old passwords: to re-hash the hash using a salt, ie. MD5(salt+MD5(password)) or BLOWFISH(salt+MD5(password)). This works because while they don't know the original password, they do know MD5(password).
One thing I want to point out is that the plaintext passwords the hacker posted, (about 28 thousand of them), are only the passwords that he was able to crack. There were significantly more in the MD5 database that were strong enough that he wasn't able to break.
I read your article on darkreading which implied that the passwords used on phpBB were weaker than the myspace ones. In reality it would be hard to compare the two lists until a majority of the phpBB ones are cracked. I will admit though that without a password creation policy I would expect the phpbb ones to be easier.
All that being said, I fully agree with your recommendations and conclusions.
Just a minor thing: phpBB.com was hacked two weeks before a patch became available.
Good rundown otherwise, especially about the reason for the passwords being as they are.
The problem here was that they used a free "phplist" software, and the patch came out at the same time as the exploits. They didn't have enough manpower to get the patch installed before they were hacked.
This is simply untrue. The milworm exploit was out on the 14th Jan, while phplist didn't put out a patch until the 29th Jan. Manpower or not, no one can apply a patch that does not exist.
The milworm exploit was out on the 14th Jan, while phplist didn't put out a patch until the 29th Jan. Manpower or not, no one can apply a patch that does not exist.
This is a good point, but wrong.
Organizations that spend a lot on security subscribe to forums like milw0rm. As soon as they see something appear on milw0rm, full-disclosure, etc. that affects them, they fix their software EVEN IF NO OFFICIAL PATCH EXISTS. If given no other choice, at least you can disable the offending software. In the case of phplist, it was an easy fix the customer can do themselves. Indeed, that's the point of open-source: you don't have to wait for the vendor to release a patch, you can simply change the source yourself.
The milw0rm post has no suggested fix. Patching software without an official patch normally requires regression testing and the like to make sure your 'fix' not only works against the original problem, but also doesn't miss out any edge cases of the original problem and doesn't introduce security problems of its own.
Your original paragraph implied that there was a patch to be applied but no one did in time, which is my objection.
It's very easy for people to miss things. After all, everyone's human. To insist that phpBB was at fault for not fixing the issue is a stretch at best.
I'd prefer to say the real problem is the fact that phplist emulates register globals. There's a damn good reason why it's being removed.
To insist that phpBB was at fault for not fixing the issue is a stretch at best.
I said nothing implying phpBB was at "fault" for anything. This issue of "fault" is something you read into the post that wasn't there. This insistence of finding "fault" is a disease in the cybersecurity community that disgusts me, and hinders rational discussion of cybersecurity.
Instead, I'm trying to figure out what I could suggest to them to help them mitigate such threats in the future. Normally, this recommendation would be to keep up with Bugtraq, Full-Disclosure, Milw0rm, and similar forums. This exploit was on all three forums on Jan. 14. Moreover, this exploit shows how to patch the vuln (filter the _SERVER variable in the url somehow).
However, I doubt a site like phpBB has the manpower to either keep up with the forums, or to quickly implement mitigation strategies while keeping the system up and running. I'm not saying they are at fault for the lack of manpower, I'm saying the reality of the situation is that as a free site, they can't get the manpower, and that they have to look for other strategies that don't require manpower. I suggest a few things that can be done without spending money or manpower. For example, canary, accounts, are a cheap and easy intrusion detection system that doesn't require manpower to operate.
An even better suggestion would be IDS/firewall options; like mod_security, suphp to use separate users for each application the server runs, proper db permissions to segregate applications, and even the use of Suhosin.
Canary accounts would only tell you that you've been hacked, while the above would prevent it (mod_security and Suhosin alone in this instance would've sufficed to prevent the attack between them).
Upgrading to salted passwords by running cracking tool doesn't sound like very ethical. Besides, complex passwords will most likely not be regenerated with rainbow tables.
Smart idea. I'm jealous I didn't think of that. | 2019-04-24T17:58:02 | https://blog.erratasec.com/2009/02/importance-of-being-canonical.html |
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A group from the U.S. and Japan was planning to trek to a remote Pacific island jungle to document what is considered one of the most important wreck sites of World War II: where American fighters shot down a Japanese bomber carrying the mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack.
Three members of a New York-based WWII research organization and a Japanese aviation expert had planned to visit the crash site on Bougainville, part of Papua New Guinea, on April 18, the 75th anniversary of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s death.
The big break for the U.S. came on April 13, 1943, when Navy code breakers discovered that Yamamoto planned to tour bases in areas of the Solomon Islands still held by Japanese forces. The admiral’s tour was scheduled for April 18.
U.S. military officials quickly approved an air mission to intercept the admiral’s plane and shoot it down.
The task fell to a squadron of Army Air Forces P-38 Lightnings based on Guadalcanal, in the Solomons.
After the pilots closely reviewed Yamamoto’s flight plan, 16 P-38s flew 400 miles west and spotted two enemy bombers over Bougainville, another island in the Solomon archipelago.
But Japan didn’t officially announce Yamamoto’s death until weeks later, saying he died aboard a warplane “while directing general strategy on the front line,’’ according to an Associated Press story on the announcement in Tokyo.
But one of the American pilots on the mission had spilled the beans almost immediately, telling everyone upon landing that he had shot down Yamamoto’s plane.
(Decades later, historians determined another pilot had fired the fatal burst). As the worst-kept secret in the Pacific spread among American troops, AP correspondent J. Norman Lodge confirmed details of the mission even before the Japanese announcement, but U.S. military censors withheld his story.
The wreckage of the Yamamoto’s Mitsubishi G4M “Betty’’ bomber remains in the jungle. Most of the plane was destroyed on impact but a large section of the tail survives. Over the decades, parts of the plane were removed and placed in museums.
The group planned to commemorate the anniversary at the site with a Shinto religious ceremony conducted by Japanese WWII aircraft expert Yoji Sakaida.
Yamamoto remains a revered figure in Japan, where a museum was established in his honor in his hometown of Nagaoka. Artifacts on display include the left wing from Yamamoto’s aircraft. Museum officials say an annual memorial event was scheduled for the morning of April 18, at nearby Yamamoto Memorial Park, where the house in which he was born once stood. | 2019-04-25T19:57:13 | http://nwasianweekly.com/2018/04/researchers-mark-death-of-pearl-harbor-mastermind-yamamoto/ |
Most of the serious conflicts in your life probably involve people you are closely connected to, such as your friends and family, your romantic partners and the people you work with. If a conflict isn't resolved or is allowed to escalate too far, it can damage the relationship. If you can handle the conflict successfully, you can make your relationship with the other person stronger and more resilient by improving your understanding of each other.
Conflict happens when two people want different things and can neither come to an agreement nor get what they want without the other person. For example, if you want to go out for Japanese food while your friend wants to go out for Italian food, you can't both get what you want and still go out to dinner together. According to Wayne Weiten and Margaret Lloyd, the authors of "Psychology Applied to Modern Life," seemingly trivial issues like this are frequently "pseudoconflicts," minor disagreements that mask a deeper conflict in the relationship, functioning as an invitation to have an argument about the underlying issues.
No two people have the exact same set of personal values. According to the Conflict Research Consortium at the University of Colorado, it can be easy to assume the other person is just being stubborn or wrongheaded about a situation, when the real explanation is that you have a difference of underlying values. For example, you may believe saving money and planning for the future is an important value, while your partner believes it is more important to enjoy your life in the present. Conflicts about values can be very difficult to resolve, because neither party will compromise. Sometimes the best option is to simply agree to disagree.
In an ego conflict, losing the argument would damage the person's sense of self-esteem. For instance, if you want to go out to a different movie than your friend, this would ordinarily be an easy issue to resolve. However, if you feel like your friend always gets to pick the movie you see together, you might feel that giving in would make you the less powerful partner in the relationship. To avoid feeling powerless or taken advantage of, you might escalate the conflict further than the situation would seem to warrant. According to psychologist Elaine Shpungin, the best way to handle this type of issue is to confront the underlying conflict directly and try to get it resolved. | 2019-04-20T20:11:44 | https://www.livestrong.com/article/133713-types-interpersonal-conflict/ |
Norwalk DOES NOT "Cherish You," 98 Degrees. The boy band, best known for their popularity in the late-90s/early-00s, is in our local area for a show at the Ridgefield Playhouse tonight. While they're enjoying their stay in the Nutmeg State, some local retailers gave the "True To Your Heart" crooners a warm welcome by kicking them right out of their parking lot.
98 degrees were apparently staying at Hotel Zero Degrees, ironically enough, in Norwalk, CT. According to the The Hour, the buses would not fit in the hotel parking lot, so they moved them them to a Stop N' Shop parking lot nearby. For some reason, that didn't sit well with the grocery chain and customers alike, so they were asked to please leave.
So, basically, nosy people were wondering what's the deal with the tour buses, they call the Stop N' Shop, Stop N' Shop says, "Yeah, it's 98 Degrees. We want them to leave too. Guess we better get on that." Man, you don't kick 98 Degrees out of your parking lot! What were they thinking?
Honestly, this is unacceptable. Whenever 98 Degrees comes to Connecticut they should be treated like the kings they indisputably are. I'm sorry Nick. Please come back soon.
Why they are singing on Mars, I'll never know, but they make the ladies wild. | 2019-04-19T06:58:06 | https://mix925abilene.com/boy-band-98-degrees-kicked-out-of-connecticut-parking-lot/ |
Are we safe in Nanomaterials ZOO?
My research interests lie in the field of emerging contaminants e.g. nanomaterials (NMs) and their toxicity. Even though people aren't very aware of the NMs they use, it has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. This unveils the need for understanding the potentially harmful effects that these materials may have to humans and the environment. In my presentation, I will talk about; Are NMs on the market? How might they affect us and the environment? What has been done to prevent their adverse effects?

The Hopeful Hummingbird: "Failed by the NHS" - It's all over and done with!
"Failed by the NHS" - It's all over and done with!
Monday 29th July and my anxiety was through the roof. I'm talking hyperventilating, pacing, no eating, feeling sick, stomach doing somersaults kind of anxiety. All because "Failed by the NHS" was airing on BBC Three for the first time.
Those who have been reading my blog would know about my experience filming this documentary, and heading on down to the Lake District, meeting some incredible people who will always have a special place in my heart. The experience as a whole did provoke a lot of anxiety for me - travelling, meeting new people, talking into a camera, staying away from home are things I just generally struggle with. There were a lot of tears, a few panic attacks and several times where I sat and wondered what I was doing to myself. Why was I putting myself through this? What will everyone think?
I'm so grateful to Nine Lives Media (visit their webpage here) for the way they did the documentary. Not once did we come across as "crazy" or "bonkers" which I think I was concerned about with the whole BBC Three mental health season. It was real, down to earth and sensitive and I couldn't have asked for it to have been any better. Whilst we might not have had the time to share our stories in detail, we got our voices heard and our stories out there.
The feedback has been phenomenal. I have personally had an overwhelming response from fellow depression and anxiety sufferers who feel they can't speak out about their experiences, and I'm glad that I and the other contributors have been able to speak out on behalf of these people. My family and friends have been incredible. I was extremely worried about what they would think of this documentary, but I shouldn't have worried so much! I received lots of texts saying how proud they were of me, and the best thing was that they said they felt they could understand just that little bit more what sort of struggles I have to go through. I don't think I stopped crying with happiness for about 24 hours!
I was sad to hear that there are so many other people who have gone through similar experiences to myself and the other contributors in the documentary. We received lots of tweets and messages on Facebook about how other people have felt unsupported by the NHS mental health service and I feel for every single one of you. I know how tough that path is when it feels like no one can hear you. I hope that by doing this programme, we have spoken out for you all.
Of course, the title did strike a few chords with some people, thinking that we were belittling the NHS as a whole, which of course isn't true, and you would be aware of this if you'd watched the programme. I know of many fantastic doctors and nurses - I've used other NHS services several times and have had good and bad experiences. But this programme featured specifically on mental health services, which for some of us just simply aren't good enough. I'm so happy for those that have had a brilliant experience, I just wish there was a consistency across the country, and that there was better help available for those who need it and aren't able to access it so easily. | 2019-04-23T22:57:06 | http://www.thehopefulhummingbird.co.uk/2013/08/failed-by-nhs-its-all-over-and-done-with.html |
Building located in the middle of a vast redevelopment project for the site formerly occupied by Stockholm’s South railway station. The main building is semicircular, forming a plaza with a diameter of 180 m (600’), accompanied by two blocks on the South side and a further three blocks on the avenue leading off to the west. The 8-storey complex includes a total of 310 apartments. The lines of the façade have considerable subtlety and purity, deriving from the Nordic classical tradition. The project also served to introduce Sweden to techniques of precast architectonic concrete more sophisticated than anything previously seen in the country. The program includes 310 apartments, underground car park, retail arra and offices. | 2019-04-24T18:27:30 | https://archinect.com/ricardo_bofill_taller_arquitectura/project/pa-soder-crescent |

Is there a way to identify which objects are dependent on other objects within a SQL Server database? I need to modify the table structure to add new columns. However, before making any changes I want to make sure that I understand all the object dependencies. Is there a way in SQL Server 2008 to quickly identify all the object dependencies?
In the earlier versions of SQL Server object dependencies were tracked using the ID of the object, as a result it was tough to keep track of Object Dependencies. However, in SQL Server 2008 Objects are tracked using the name of the object rather than object IDs. The biggest advantage of this approach is that you can track object dependency even after the object is removed from the database and you can also track even if an object is yet to be created in the database.
In SQL Server 2008 there are two new Dynamic Management Functions and a System View introduced to keep track of Object Dependencies. The newly introduced Dynamic Management Functions in SQL Server 2008 to keep track of object dependencies are sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities and sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities. The newly introduced system view to keep track of object dependency is sys.sql_expression_dependencies.
SQL Server 2008 database engine automatically keeps track of object dependency information whenever referencing entities are created, dropped or altered and it records this information in SQL Server system catalogs. A dependency is created between two objects when one object appears by name inside a SQL statement stored in another object. The object which is appearing inside the SQL expression is known as referenced entity and the object which has the SQL expression is known as a referencing entity.
The sys.sql_expression_dependencies system view holds one record each for a user defined object which has dependency on other object within the current database. A dependency between two objects is created when one object calling the referenced object appears by name in a SQL expression of another object. There are basically two types of dependencies tracked by the database engine in SQL Server 2008 namely Schema-bound Dependency and Non-schema-bound Dependency.
Schema-bound dependency: - A schema-bound dependency is a relationship that exists between two objects that prevents referenced objects from being dropped or modified as long as the referencing object exists. A quick example of schema-bound dependency will be a view or a user defined function which is created using WITH SCHEMABINDING clause.
Non-schema-bound dependency: - A non-schema-bound dependency is a relationship which exists between two objects which doesn't prevent the referenced object from being dropped or modified.
The sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities Dynamic Management Function returns one row for each user defined object which is referenced by name within the definition of a specified referencing object. For example, if a user defined view is the specified referencing object, then by using sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities dynamic management function you can return all the user defined objects that are referred in the view definition such as tables, functions etc.
The sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities Dynamic Management Function returns one record for each user defined object within the current database which refers to another user defined object by name. For example, if there is a view which refers to three tables then this function will return three records one for each table reference. This function will also return dependency information for Schema-bound or Non-schema-bound entries, Database level and Server level DDL triggers.
Let us go through an example to understand how the SQL Server 2008 database engine tracks object dependencies.
Use the below T-SQL script to create a table named Employee.
Execute the below T-SQL script to create usp_GetEmployeeName stored procedure. This procedure refers to Employee table which was created using the above script.
Now that we have a sample table and stored procedure setup, the following queries can be used to find the referenced and referencing information.
Execute the below scripts which queries "sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities" dynamic management function to find out all objects which are referencing to "Employee" table.
Execute the below scripts which queries "sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities" dynamic management function to find out all objects which are referenced to "usp_GetEmployeeName" stored procedure.
Execute the below scripts which queries "sys.sql_expression_dependencies" system view to find out all the objects which are referenced by "usp_GetEmployeeName" stored procedure.
Here is an example output of these queries for my test.
Does this mean that any reference to entities in dynamic SQL will be picked up?
Will table foobar be picked up as being referenced? If so, this would be very handy even though dynamic SQL should not be standard practice. Sometimes, you get that with inherited systems.
Could you suggest any way to get list of objects that are being accessed in scheduled jobs? | 2019-04-22T20:02:04 | https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1768/identifying-object-dependencies-in-sql-server/ |
Join us as we celebrate winter, friendship, and new beginnings with a cold weather inspired menu from Matt Buddah of Liberty Kitchen featuring curated cider pairings by Ben Wenk of Ploughman Cider. Matt and Ben will walk you through the 4 courses while talking about the producers of the ingredients and the ideas behind our pairings. After Dinner, Ben and friends will serenade us with his incredible musical talents while we wind our night down with libations from the geniuses behind the bar at Martha.
Liberty Kitchen is a new delicatessen and commissary kitchen opening soon at Front and Thompson streets in Fishtown/Kensington. It is brought to you by Matt Buddah of local cheese fame and Pj Hopkins of Brine Street Pickle fame.
The market will feature a full cheese and charcuterie case, classic deli meats, staple grocery items, Green Street cold brew coffee on draft as well as rotating draft kombucha selections crafted by Fishtown based Funky Fresh. The space will also house a licensed commissary that will be the new home base of Brine Street Picklery, Side Project Jerky, Old City Cheese Co. and Funky Fresh Kombucha among others. The commissary will double as an events and community space, titled the Pop-Down. Programming will include pop-up dinners, workshops from commissary tenants and local businesses, First Friday gallery shows, and more.
Ploughman farm ciders are as unique as the place in which they are created. For over a century, the Wenk family has tended the deep, fertile soils of our orchards in Adams County, PA one of the finest fruit growing regions in the United States.
Each year at Three Springs Fruit Farm, we cultivate apple varieties specifically for our cidery. We work with American heirlooms like Spitzenburg, Golden Russet, and Stayman and select apples like Dabinett, Stoke Red, and Kingston Black for their bittersharp and bittersweet flavor profiles. Every year the apples we use for cider are a little different, which adds layers of complexity to the cider and connection to the farm.
In addition to ciders we also make perries, and other fruit wines from peaches, chokeberries, pears, and fine grapes. Here at Ploughman, we embrace the "frontier" mentality an eagerness to try new things, but always with authenticity to quality. We are not purists, but we will never cut corners and never use engineered essences, flavors, or artificial nonsense. Our eagerness to experiment with new things is almost completely farm based we use whatever is exceptional and abundant at Three Springs Fruit Farm on any given year. | 2019-04-18T10:27:29 | https://winterciderfeast.brownpapertickets.com/ |
(BPT) - When your student is about to embark on their college career, it’s an exciting new chapter in their young life that would make any parent proud.
When that bill arrives from campus, detailing the out-of-pocket costs for tuition, room and board, and fees, it’s not at all uncommon for parents and students to find themselves in a bind. Even if your student qualifies for grants and federal loans, they don’t always cover everything, and that can lead to some serious last-minute sticker shock.
Before the panic sets in, remember there are solutions out there that can help you and your student come up with additional funding to close the gap.
Before you take out the credit card to pay off the final balance of the tuition bill, see if you can buy some time and ask if the school offers installment plans. If so, opt in. This lets you pay down any remaining tuition and fees in monthly payments. If you do find the funding, you can pay it down without amassing any interest.
Has anything changed in the past year in your family’s financial situation? If so, it’s a good idea for your student to appeal for more financial aid. This process can be initiated again anytime during the school year. You or your student can contact the school’s financial aid office.
Even at this date, there may be scholarships available with later application deadlines. So, go ahead and do a quick search on a site like Fastweb and the College Board's Big Future. If nothing promising comes up this time, your student now has a chance to get a jump on the application process for the next academic year.
Sometimes, a ready and willing source of assistance is hiding in plain sight. Check your employer’s benefits program; in some cases, they extend tuition assistance to children of employees. Or, ask family if they’re willing to help. Try the direct approach; a grandparent may be more than happy to pitch in. Another option is a crowdfunding campaign. For the best chances of success, tie the fundraiser to a specific stop-gap need, such as textbooks or credit hours for chemistry class.
Part-time jobs are a staple of many college student budgets, and working 8-12 hours a week is a good way to round up extra cash without interfering with their studies. In addition to filling out applications, encourage your student to network with people they know; their study buddy may have an “in” at the campus bookstore or coffee shop.
A private student loan can be an option to help students cover college costs, especially after they've reached the loan limits on federal loans. If they turn to a lender like College Ave Student Loans, you and your student will find the lending process is simple and personalized. Plus, your student can get access to the money quickly, letting them start classes on time. Before you apply, it’s worth taking the time to understand the differences between federal and private student loans.
Before taking out any loan, it’s always smart to pause and think ahead. Your student needs to understand the costs of repaying their loan, especially if future earnings from their career will make those payments affordable. Lending and future earnings can be difficult concepts for any young person to wrap their head around. To help your student get a clear idea on what to expect and plan their college financing, College Ave Student Loans has an undergraduate student loan calculator that’s easy to use.

The Director General of Traffic, María Seguí, has this week presented the conclusions of road incident statistics for 2014.
Last year there were 91,570 injury incidents in which 1,688 people died and 9,574 were injured to such a severity they needed admission in a hospital. On average, there were 4.6 deaths on the road every day.
One of the most worrying trends is the increase in deaths in vans, doubling from 51 deaths in 2013 to 100 deaths in 2014. Also worrying is the fact that 2 out of every 5 people killed in cars or vans were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident.
However, despite that for the first time since 2009 there has been an increase in the number of long-haul journeys by 1.6%, with 359.8 million journeys on the roads, 5 out of the 13 key performance indicators for road safety between 2010 and 2020 have already been achieved.
During 2014, in addition to the 1.6% increase in traffic, there has been a 2% increase in the number of injury incidents. There has also been a 5% decrease in the number of hospitalisations, and a 0.4% accidents and the minor injuries, a decrease of 5% in hospitalized wounded but a 0.4% increase in the number of fatalities.
Specifically, of the 91,570 injury accidents, in which 1,688 people died, that is an increase of 8 fatalities over 2013.
The data maintains Spain´s position in fifth place in the scale of European rankings by rate of fatalities with 36 deaths per million inhabitants, well below the European average rate which stands at 52, and ahead of countries like France, Germany, Italy and Finland.
The aging fleet of vehicles on the roads is still continuing, despite incentives for subsidies on new cars. Now, more than half of the cars on Spanish roads are 10 years of age or older, a fact that increases the risk of dying or being seriously injured compared to incidents involving vehicles of 5 years of age or less. In the case of fatal incidents in 2014, the average age of passenger cars involved was 12.1 years on urban roads and 13.3 years on urban roads.
In 2014, the number of registered vehicles cars on the roads was 30,976,047. During that year, 1,146,125 new vehicles were registered, 3,095,592 vehicles were transferred and 1,100,176 were decommissioned.
In terms of drivers, there are now 26,217,202 licensed drivers in charge of vehicles, a figure slightly below the previous year of 26,401,660. In addition, last year, 411,583 new drivers were registered and 3,089,952 driving license renewals were made. The data also reveals that the age of drivers is gradually increasing, parallel to the aging of the population, with 13% of drivers now 65 or older.
As regards the road network, it is estimated that there are over 660,000 kilometres of roads, of which over 489,000 are urban and managed by the municipalities, and more than 165,567 are intercity roads, of which 2% (3,036 km.) correspond to toll roads; 7% (11,682 km.) to free motorways and expressways; 1% (1,640 km.) of dual carriageways and 149,209 km (90%) to other conventional roads.
As the details of road incidents, 3 out of every 5 injury incidents occurred on urban roads, but fatal incidents were concentrated on intercity roads.
Last year, 38% of all injury incidents took place on interurban roads, representing 35,147 of the total. However, that was a 6% decrease compared to 2013. There were also a decline in the number of serious injuries by 7% and minor injuries by 5%, but there was a 1% increase in the number of fatalities. On these roads, 74% of all fatalities occurred.
On urban roads, there were 56,423 injury incidents, in which 441 people died (26% of the total), 4,740 were injured and hospitalized and 68,365 suffered minor injuries. Over the previous year, the number of injury incidents and minor injuries grew by 8%, but the number of deaths decreased by 9 people.
As has become the norm in recent years, 66% of incidents where at least one person died happened on weekdays and 63% of those incidents between 8am and 8pm.
Incidents where vehicles left the road is the biggest cause of fatalities, with 32% of deaths attributed to that type of incident, whereas the second most frequent incidents where a death occurred involved a pedestrian, 18% of the total number of incidents. In fact, 20% of all road fatalities in 2014 were pedestrians, with 336 people losing their lives, 132 they were in intercity roads and 204 on urban streets. In total, 336 pedestrians were killed, 40 less than the previous year.
There was a decline in the number of deaths in all age groups except the 45 to 54 years of age group, where an additional 48 people lost their lives, and those aged over 85, where an additional 9 people were killed compared to 2013.
Of the 746 people killed in cars, 23% were not wearing a seatbelt, 171 people losing their lives as a result. In addition, 23 of the 76 fatalities in vans were also not strapped in.
In addition, 11 of the 287 motorcyclists killed were not wearing a crash helmet at the time of the incident, and for moped riders, 9 of the 53 people who were killed were also not wearing a helmet. | 2019-04-19T03:13:30 | http://n332.es/2015/07/06/road-fatality-and-injury-statistics-released/ |

Adobe very proudly gave us a sneak peak of Project Scribbler that auto-colorised portraits. Quite interesting, but worth a watch just for the lady presenter's humour.
Pretty impressive stuff using Adobe Sensei and a good indication that machine learning will end up in video and photo editing apps in the future.
Apple isn't being left out either as their recent 'jobs vacant' board showed a vacancy for a ML expert to work in their video apps department.
Which is all background in the runup to a discovery of ours via Twitter.
Finnian Anderson posted an article on how looking at colourised photos from World War Two got him and his colleague Oli Callaghan thinking could they could automate the process using machine learning and AI.
We shall save you from the science, (which is well worth a read on how they did it) but we will mention that they ended up using a model developed by PHD students at the University of Berkeley. That model has already 'learnt' from over 4.5 million images at ImageNet.
They very cleverly automated the process into a 'Twitter Bot" so all you have to do is tweet a black and white photo to @colorisebot and it will tweet back the colourised version.
It normally takes under 10 seconds to process and has produced some pretty amazing results.
We had a go too and although you can get some amazing looking effects in seconds, it does seem to be a bit hit and miss. Then again, everytime you submit a photo, the process gets better, so by the time you have read this article, it will have already absorbed the info from the pictures we submitted! The bike photo is pretty amazing.
So where is the interest in this for video editors? It wouldn't take a huge amount of code to build a plugin to auto colorise b&w photos without having to do the Twitter dance, but what about video?
This is where Finnian and Oli are already ahead as they claim to be the first to auto-colorise video by breaking it down into an image sequence, running that through the process and then restitching it together.
Not as convincing as the stills and it all looks very yellow, but this is the future happening now. Give it a try yourself with some black & white images. | 2019-04-23T04:47:48 | http://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/articles/2016-automatic-colouring-of-black-and-white-images-using-a-machine-learning-twitterbot |
Katie & Rob now live in LA, but Katie grew up in Boston and spent her summers on Ledge Island on Lake Winnepesaukee. Rob grew up exploring the outdoors in the mid-west, so their lakeside wedding at Church Landing in Meredith NH, made prefect sense. Meredith is my home-town, and Church Landing is where Seth & I were married in 2004. So as you might imagine, there is no shortage of inspiration when we shoot here.
Click, another amazing Wilson-Stevens Band, kept the party rocking all night long. Congrats to Katie & Rob! | 2019-04-25T12:51:08 | http://www.stephaniewalesphotography.com/blog/lake-winnepesaukee-wedding-church-landing-meredith-nh-katie-rob-nh-lakeside-wedding/ |

Tuscaloosa is home to countless opportunities to give back to the community. Nonprofits, churches, businesses and schools can be found hosting fundraisers and awareness events across town year-round that benefit one cause or another. Many of these causes are high-profile crises like disaster relief, child literacy, and animal rights. However, there are some causes that do not receive such a magnitude of attention yet still warrant ample support. One of these such programs is the Pack-a-Purse drive, put on by the University of Alabama’s Women and Gender Resource Center. This toiletry drive seeks to provide women who are just getting out of prison with a bag that takes care of some of their basic necessities as they reenter society. Those wanting to donate can drop off items at the Women and Gender Resource Center in South Lawn Office Building from now until Feb. 16. Pack-a-Purse is a program started by Montgomery-based organization Aid to Inmate Mothers. The Pack-a-Purse drive offers the campus community and beyond an opportunity to give back to a group that often goes unnoticed.
“One of my favorite things [about Pack-a-Purse] is that you don’t have to have a lot of money to be able to give something back,” said Program Coordinator Paige Miller. Situated on UA’s campus, the Women and Gender Resource Center seeks to be accessible to students, faculty and staff regardless of financial status. Contributions of shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, feminine products, lotions and many other items are welcome from any member of the community. More information on donations can be found on the AIM website, inmatemoms.org.
In 2016, when the Women and Gender Resource Center began the Pack-a-Purse drive, it was able to donate around 25 bags. Last year, it packed 53 bags. Miller aims to sustain around 50 bags and hopes to increase their impact even more.
“That way, when women in Alabama are being released from prison, they have at least one thing.” Miller said. In the Alabama prison system, 23.3% of women return to prison within three years of release, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections 2016 Annual Report. Pack-a-Purse along with other AIM programs seek to lower this statistic. Among the women who participated in AIM programs, the recidivism rate was down to only 11%. Reintegration into society after prison is a rarely discussed struggle, and AIM’s goals are to help women beat the odds and give them opportunities to become productive and successful members of society.
Aside from raising awareness about inmate mothers and women leaving the prison system, the Women and Gender Resource Center has evolved its programming to include more education and advocacy projects as well as volunteer opportunities for those wanting to help.
Miller’s focus is not only on programming like Pack-a-Purse, but also on raising awareness about gender issues. She hosts programs like Start Smart that teach college women how to negotiate salaries and benefits when they enter the workforce. The Women and Gender Resource Center also organizes awareness events for global women’s issues and International Women’s Day, mentoring programs for children in the community and also an annual film festival. A great deal of planning goes into these events, so volunteers are always needed in a variety of fields. Miller encourages people to come by the Women and Gender Resource Center, drop off a donation for Pack-a-Purse, and see what it has to offer. The center is home to a library where books and DVDs are available for check out and volunteer forms are available for application.

Toronto Environmental Recycling | Construction & Drywall | Junk It!
Since our company was conceived, we’ve always been devoted to providing environmentally responsible junk removal and garbage services.
Since our company was conceived, we’ve always been devoted to providing environmentally responsible junk removal and garbage services. Junk doesn’t always equal waste, and we’re serious about keeping as much reusable material out of the landfills as we possibly can.
We’re particularly serious about construction recycling, since many of the materials used can be recycled. Drywall recycling, for example, can keep literally tons of material from winding up in landfills.
We do our part to make sure that every scrap that goes through our company goes to the right place.
Every junk removal job includes our guarantee to sort through it and determine what can be donated or recycled. We’re proud to say that up to 60% of our rubbish removal is reused in some way. We do our best to keep our garbage services responsible and sustainable, and we’ve been doing so before the ‘green’ movement swept the nation.
You never need to ask if your rubbish removal can be recycled. If it can be recycled, we’ll make sure that it is. It’s just our way of giving back. | 2019-04-25T00:25:40 | https://junkit.ca/environment/ |
