In the first six months of the current 2000/2001 fiscal year (April 1 to September 30), caatoosee ag, a specialist for information logistics and data networking, exhibited dynamic sales growth of 296%, reaching sales of DM 10.6 million (same period of the previous year: DM 2.7 million). This increase in sales is due to the successful completion of several large-scale projects in its core business as well as the smooth integration of the acquisitions made in the first half of the year. In comparison to the first quarter of the reporting period, second-quarter sales increased by 39% to DM 6.2 million.
The strong sales growth was due, in particular, to the growing demand for caatoosee ag's platform solutions and the successful implementation of its business model. Examples include implementing platform technology for O-Rai GmbH, a member of the Bertelsmann Group, constructing an online platform for db business-direct, the Internet portal of Deutsche Bank AG, and the project commencement of a platform solution for Datev eG.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2000/2001, the Group had EBITDA of DM -2.5 million. Taking into account write-offs of DM 2.1 million (of which DM 1.6 million was goodwill amortization) resulted in EBIT of DM -4.6 million. This loss was compensated for especially by income from securities. Thus, caatoosee ag had earnings before taxes (EBT) of DM 0.6 million and a net result for the period of DM 0.2 million. This resulted in earnings per share of EUR 0.0l.
The earnings situation was influenced in particular by increased costs for the planned strong build-up in personnel. For example, the number of production employees compared to the previous year increased from 31 to 120, principally at the Prague, Zagreb and Temeswar (Romania) locations. In addition, caatoosee significantly expanded its sales and marketing division. As of the September 30, 2000 reporting date, the caatoosee Group as a whole employed 237 full-time workers.
In the second half of the fiscalyear, caatoosee ag will further optimize its strategic orientation and integrate the product and service portfolio of the Group company-wide. The Company expects to be able to continue and increase its positive sales growth and reach the sales and earnings targets it has set. | 2019-04-26T00:26:26 | https://www.presseportal.de/pm/29601/195412 |
In my estimation, President Obama has given up on the hundred year old effort, first by France and the UK and then after WWII the U.S., to keep the peace in the Middle East. Aside from the constant tribal flare ups which the U.S. didn't bother with, there is the much larger millennial conflict between Persians and Arabs that is now turbocharged by the Shia-Sunni divide.
Instead of the U.S. trying to keep that confrontation contained like it did when Saddam fought Khomeini for nearly ten years, and from going nuclear, Obama is now quite satisfied with their keeping each other in check without our involvement. ISIS then is the fighting force of the Sunni Arabs that is balancing the Shia Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Obama's miscalculation, however, may be that the conflict and calculus are essentially religious. Moreover, as Bernard Lewis, one of the most knowledgeable scholars of the Middle East wrote some four years ago in these pages, the clerics in Iran believe they've entered the apocalyptic period of their history and thus actually using nuclear weapons to bring matters to a head with a Shia victory is not out of the question.
Indeed, Lewis said that "the mullahs 'are religious fanatics with an apocalyptic mindset. In Islam, as in Christianity and Judaism, there is an end-of-times scenario—and they think it's beginning or has already begun.' So 'mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent—it's an inducement'."
There is a very interesting redrawing of boundaries of the Middle East taking place that seems to be going unnoticed. I believe it is happening in preparation of Iran getting its nuclear weapons, the Arabs following them, and then it becoming more difficult to solve old problems.
Notice how in the North of Arabia, in Lebanon and Syria running through to Iraq and Iran, there have been powers under Iranian Shia influence, namely Hezbollah and Syria, and parts of Iraq. ISIS, which is Sunni and I am betting an instrument of the Arabs, has now taken huge chunks of those territories. So to the North the Arab Sunnis are consolidating their positions. But on the South in Yemen the Iranians have now taken over.
I fear that what we are seeing is a redrawing of the battle lines of the millennial Persia-Arab conflict, now turbocharged by a Shia-Sunni religious divide. We may be on the threshold of a monumental war some five or ten years down the road, a war with nuclear weapons, and a major disruption to the world’s oil supplies.
I’ve written elsewhere describing in some detail how I hypothesize that George W. Bush went into Iraq precisely to try to avoid a deterioration of the situation as now seems to be happening. If you study a map you’ll see that in 2003 NATO, with Asian support, had Iran surrounded, which I believe was to guarantee their security from Arab encroachment and thus get them to stop their nuclear program, and they did for a while until the Democrats in 2006-2008 made it clear that if they came to power any such deal would be off.
Up until Obama took office that scenario was consistent with past Western policy, both European and American going back to the end of the first World War. Obama changed that entirely and gave Iran a free run in the Middle East. It is therefore not surprising that the Arabs have now made overtures to Russia.
We need to go on the offensive. Last summer Obama said disdainfully that playing Whac-A-Mole was not productive and that the US would no longer be doing it. Yet, Obama's removal of troops from the Middle East has exposed the country to danger.
Playing Whac-A-Mole was actually a strategy to take the fight to the terrorists and keep them in their caves so they wouldn't have a free run at us. It worked for G.W. Bush but now look at the strength and freedom of action to mount attacks that ISIS and its franchised terrorists have gained.
Do we wait for them to come here or do we take the fight to them? I say we get the before they do us.
The United States once supported Iran having nuclear power technology.
Eisenhower was the first to provide nuclear technology to Iran in the 50’s with a 2MW nuclear reactor fuelled by enriched uranium. This led a decade later to a full blown program to install 23 nuclear power reactors in Iran that would have provided around $300 billion(2012 dollars) in orders for western companies. But this was all under the Shah.
When the Khomeini led revolution came into power all these dreams of lavish nuclear reactor orders vanished.
When the Iranians saw that the U.S. resolve on preventing rogue states such as North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons was non-existent and saw the Saudi funded Pakistan bomb program produce its device, the Iranians realized that they could produce their own bomb without much risk of attack.
The last time the U.S. had a chance to affect the development of nuclear bomb technology in Iran was 2009 when the Green Movement posed a serious political threat to the Supreme Leader. There were several covert programs ready to be initiated by the US to help this movement overthrow the theocracy, but Obama wouldn’t support it either because he was intellectually incapable of grasping its significance or had other motives.
Either way, Obama stood by as the leaders of that movement were systematically “disappeared”.
There’s also another aspect to why this agreement was inevitable.
During the sanctions, Germany maintained active trade with Iran becoming its largest trading partner. Given that the EU is struggling economically, not to mention the US, the prospect of releasing all this pent up demand for western trinkets and the money it would produce among all EU countries is simply too great.
What makes this all dangerous over the long run is the trajectory its following is much the same as that which was followed when Nazi Germany was building its war machine. The U.S. and other western countries were competing to get Nazi orders to help their struggling companies during that time of economic stagnation.
History seems to be repeating itself again with only the nature of the fanatics having changed, but fanatics still.
It’s really astonishing. Prior to Hassan Rouhani being elected president of Iran, the leadership of that country shouted its hatred of the west generally and of the U.S. specifically at the top of its collective voice; and had been doing so for a generation. One man three micrograms more moderate than Ali Khamenei, and not a patent psychotic, is allowed by the hard-line leadership to be elected and the experience of an entire generation is to be put aside.
Ali Khamenei, facing a balance-of-payments and currency crisis; and faced with the demands of all the regional destabilizing activities in which Iran in intimately involved in funding and guiding; and seeing general western foreign policy drift, particularly with regard to the Middle East and North Africa; wound up Hassan Rouhani, set him on the chessboard and told him “offer a gambit — let’s see how far we get”.
Astonishingly, the gambit was taken up. Why?
For 6 years it has not been the policy of the U.S. that Iran’s march to nuclear weapons be “leashed”, but that we would not tolerate nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran, a policy re-validated by President Obama just this year. Yet, the latter very clearly has now morphed into the former, and in just a few months.
Clearly, President Obama is retreating from the Middle East and North Africa, as he’s materially retreated from Asia, South America and Eastern Europe . Obama was never particularly attentive to the Pacific Rim countries. It’s all about better focusing on and funding domestic free cheese factories and Band-Aid dispensaries.
If this is suffered to stand, it could become the most obvious gambit that succeeded in geopolitical history. And have us wondering what happened first to our regional allies, then to what was going to be a friendly Iran, once they have as many warheads and delivery vehicles as Israel.
The critical flawed assumption underlying these negotiations is that the Iranians will act in a “rational” way in the sense that western democracies define “rational.” The Iranian definition of “rational” is fundamentally different from ours.
For Iran, it may be “rational” to destroy Israel, even if the consequence is that much of Iran will also be destroyed. The Iranians therefore don’t negotiate with the objectives we attribute to them.
Perhaps the best example of this is North Korea, which is starving its people in order to maintain a million plus man army (over 5% of its population), nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. That is irrational in any common understanding of the word, but to the North Korean government it makes sense.
The sanctions were hurting Iran, but they probably weren’t impeding the nuclear weapons program. Iran’s concern was primarily that its people and commercial sector were being so harmed by the sanctions that the mullahs feared their own people would turn against them.
The sanctions will now be eased, allowing the Iranian civilian/commercial sectors some respite, and, perhaps after a short pause to keep the inspectors happy (Iran will disclose to the inspectors only the facilities the west already knows about), covertly ramp up the weapons program.
1. Iran will keep all existing centrifuges and refining capacity intact. Iran has (according to the IAEA) more than 18,000 centrifuges. This deal will do nothing to roll back Iran’s ability to produce weapons grade Uranium, which was supposed to be a primary objective going into the talks.
Score: Iran 1, Civilized World 0.
2. Iran will not dilute its current highly enriched Uranium stockpiles or covert them to “non-weapons useable oxide. But Uranium enriched to 5% is almost three-quarters of what is required to produce 90% weapons-grade material, and that which is diluted (not one gram will end up being converted to oxide!) can be quickly refined to the current 20%+ level, particularly with the aforementioned centrifuges left completely intact. According to experts, Iran can be right back to where it is today within 3 months.
3. A huge percentage of the economic sanctions imposed on Iran will be removed. The Obama administration estimates that the sanctions-relief provides Iran with about $7 billion over six months, an increase in Iranian access to completely unrestricted foreign reserves of about 30%. That is not a “small”, no matter how you slice it.
But worse, many analysts outside of the Obama administration have already identified value of over $20 billion in immediate value to Iran. That, by any definition would constitute an almost complete capitulation by the P5+1 on the economic sanctions that we all recognize was the one pressure point that was forcing the Iranian regime to the table in the first place.
4. Iran will continue to enrich Uranium, completely reversing multiple UN Security Council Resolutions and guaranteeing that future negotiations will be sucked into an endless spiral of nitpicking about how much is allowable and to what levels. Take it to the bank that this is the rock upon which the so-called “follow-on accords” will founder.
5. Iran will continue construction of the Arak heavy water project, the purpose of which can only be to produce weapons grade Plutonium. The only thing the Iranians cannot do is actually move the equipment into the facilities. Dismantling of this facility was a primary objective of the P5+1 going into the negotiations.
Seems to many like the Obama administration was completely screwed by the Iranians, bringing home nothing but a promise to keep talking, in exchange for granting Iran almost everything they wanted. If this was a “good” agreement, I would hate to see what the Obama folks would define as a ‘bad’ agreement.
Iran has played Obama for an idiot with this nuclear deal. John Kerry is too vacuous to know he was conned.
If the Iranians are serious about this agreement let them grant free and easy access to all their nuclear sites for verification of this treaty.
For 6 years under the Obama administration, it’s been the stated policy of the United States not “to slow down” Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, but that we would not tolerate such weapons in Iranian hands. Apparently, this immense sea-change, unannounced and substantially undiscussed, is only a few months old, since Rouhani offered the gambit that Khamenei approved. “We’ll pretend to like you as we build our bomb if you let us sell our oil”.
So, Iran will still insist that their nuclear program is peaceful and always was, adding that they deserved respect from the West. How has this familiar refrain changed in any way in five years? What really was accomplished in this grand accord that serves to defend western interests and the cause of stability in the Middle East and North Africa?
Iran has given up nothing for the first easing of sanctions that likely will morph into additional easings, and with no verifiable dismantling of nuclear weapons program infrastructure. In the meantime, will have the use of billions that they did not before, to continue policies of destabilization through the region, including a Syria that has become largely a religious war for their support of Bashar al-Assad.
How is this agreement materially better than the one described by the French as a “sucker deal”?
At this stage, the only thing that can derail this “sucker deal” is Congress. They don’t need to strengthen sanctions, they merely need to require that we re-impose those that will be eased by this agreement. That would be most wise. A “break-out” by Iran calls for absolute global embargo of them.
Do not accept for one moment what we are being fed by the Obama administration about this deal with Iran. Iran is giving up not 1 iota of capability; not 1 gram of production capacity and not 1 centrifuge.
Iran has, as a result of this agreement, an imprimatur from the west to enrich uranium, which it never had before. Sure, the ‘approval’ is for non-weapons grade production, but until this agreement the rest of the world did not concede Iran’s right to enrich any uranium, which was a major negotiating point.
Now, future negotiations will get bogged down in nitpicking over the intent of enrichment rather than the enrichment itself.
Under this agreement, Iran needs only dilute existing stocks of enriched uranium, which can within a matter of a several months be reconstituted, should a long-term deal not be reached. Iran does not have to dismantle any facilities whatsoever. They have only agreed to ‘mothball’ the most controversial installations.
In return for giving up essentially nothing, economic sanctions are being lifted across the board. Billions and billions will not flow into the Iranian economy, dramatically lessening the pressure to negotiate seriously. Exactly what incentive will the Iranians have to continue talking?
The only thing the world gets out of this is the ability to tell themselves that they negotiated an “historic” agreement. That and a nickel will buy you a cup of coffee.
If you don’t think the Iranians picked the P5+1’s pocket on this deal, just tune into Iranian TV. They are bragging about how they got everything and gave up nothing; and the facts seem to support that claim. But beyond that, listen closely to the reactions from all of Iran’s neighbors. Do you hear the Turks, Saudis, Iraqis, and of the Gulf States or Egypt trumpeting this ‘historic’ deal? Cue the sound of crickets.
And the Israelis are apoplectic, as they know very well who Iran’s main target will be once they develop the bomb. That is not a matter of Israeli paranoia, but the explicitly stated intention of Iranian leadership.
Care to bet whether there will be any further deal in 6 months time?
It seems that for a small delay in Iran’s enrichment program, which they don’t really care about, on the way to a nuclear bomb they get the beginning of the dismantling of the sanctions program and the Obama administration now effectively acting as a partner with Iran.
1. The many UNSC resolutions demanding the removal of enrichment have been simply ignored. Iran has effectively secured the agreement and right to continue fuel enrichment, albeit at lower levels for the moment.
2. The agreement says nothing about Iran’s military fuel enrichment facility at Parchin which is notably not part of this agreement and so continues to be unmonitored.
3. The agreement will allow the continual building of centrifuges, but not their installation, for the moment.
4. Demands for Iran reversing its nuclear progress was simply ignored.
On balance this is a big victory for Iran. Now that Iran and the Obama administration are in further “secret” talks, who knows what exciting developments are in store. | 2019-04-24T12:38:38 | http://www.punditpress.com/2015/10/barack-obamas-middle-east-legacy-being.html |
Working with all the Center regarding American Development, California initial lady Betty Shriver is having a serious second go through the segment regarding Californians that are facing unusually risky for life-altering conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes and heart problems. Considering their particular typical perform load, it is not surprising in which caregivers are usually almost doubly likely since others to be able to suffer significant chronic health problems.

One with the primary conclusions of Shriver’s record titled “Sick and also Tired” will be that these kinds of double duty appears in could health as much more serious health outcomes than guys have. Women not merely make up half the You. S. work force, but mothers may also be the household providers regarding two-thirds individuals families.
What Does Medical insurance For Los angeles Mean For girls?
Since the particular recession started by the end of 2007, 73. 6 percent with the jobs misplaced displaced men as opposed to women. With 1000s of women gaining usage of health ideas through their particular spouse’s job, that provides left 1000s of women without medical insurance. If a lady has to get health insurance policies in California inside the individual industry, she generally pays higher than a man although she can not get essential coverage regarding maternity and also reproductive medical care.
Each yr the U . s . Psychological Connection conducts any survey to assess the “Stress in the us. ” Answerers showed in which more females than guys say they may be stressed from the economic economic downturn. The economic system isn’t the sole high chance factor that’s more likely to impact could health.
Women will tend to be responsible in making ends meet if the budget will be tight. They’re around the “front lines” in terms of denying their particular children’s asks for and working with temper tantrums. They’re also more inclined than men to be effective in youngster care or perhaps education together with greater experience of influenza as well as other viruses. All sorts of things that women have reached high chance and need medical insurance. California insurance providers, however, choose to spread their particular financial risk using a large swimming through party insurance. That leaves lots of women to confront high monthly premiums for partial medical care coverage.
Start simply by educating yourself in what the distinctions in medical insurance for Los angeles mean to your access to medical care and your allowance. When you are looking for private California medical insurance, one with the first what to check could be the limit on your own annual out-of-pocket expenditures. Once you might have spent very much, your insurance provides 100-percent insurance coverage for approved medical care.
That limit is very important for a couple of reasons. You will have to plan for ways to cover medical care up for the limit, but you can even plan expected medical care around that. If you will need multiple treatments, having these done inside same coverage year you could end up significant financial savings.
The subsequent limit to test is the utmost annual reduce. Insurers cannot limit how much coverage you will need over a very long time, but they could impose twelve-monthly limits. They could also have got limits about outpatient therapy and prescription medications. Most California medical insurance plans don’t buy dental or perhaps vision medical care.
If you are doing need prescription medications, investigate the particular drug formulary of one’s health program. That’s a listing of brand identify and generic prescribed drugs that are usually preferred from your health program. You can easily ask your medical professional to prescribe using this list to lessen your cost and several medications is probably not covered.
Understand the variation between HMO and also PPO ideas. With a great HMO, you need to pick a single in-network physician that will decide when you’re able to get coverage to find out a expert. PPOs typically have higher monthly premiums than HMOs, nevertheless they offer direct access to almost all participating suppliers usually with significantly cheaper rates. In addition they typically offer you partial coverage to look out-of-network.
Co-payments and also deductibles remain important, nevertheless they no longer connect with preventive attention services. Since your annual exam and lots of screening treatments, like mammograms, are included at completely before you fulfill the plan’s allowable, you may well not need any co-pay program. That’s an idea where an individual pay $25 or perhaps $35 every time you see a health care provider or load a prescribed. Co-pay plans normally have higher monthly premiums than California medical insurance plans together with deductibles. Generally speaking, the increased the allowable, the reduced the premiums will probably be. | 2019-04-25T06:52:04 | http://www.thehealthvision.com/health/california-medical-insurance-for-females.html |

Many Neandertal skeletons show signs of broken bones and other traumas. A study by Erik Trinkaus and Tomy Berger showed that the pattern of bone injuries was very similar to that of rodeo riders (Gore 1996). This suggests that Neandertal hunting involved quite a lot of close-quarters contact with large and savage animals. Neandertals apparently never invented thrown projectiles, and their spears seem to have been designed for thrusting while being held. One can certainly see why this modus operandi might result in frequent injuries when hunting big game.

Best Haircuts for Long Faces.
The best haircuts for a long face are flattering because they add width, while detracting length. If your face is longer than it is wider, find out which looks work best for you as there are plenty of cool haircuts to draw inspiration from.
Whether you have a strong jawline or a raised forehead, the right hairstyle for a long face makes all the difference. Texture is very important, so be prepared to work on your hair a bit more, especially if it's naturally straight. A one-length cut for straight hair is the worst choice you can make, since it would elongate your features further, so focus your attention towards cuts that flatter your face shape.
Check out a few much better ideas for haircuts for long faces, that make celebrities with long faces like Liv Tyler and Sarah Jessica Parker look fabulous.
Going to extremes, either very short or very long, isn't usually flattering for an oblong face, but if you like it short, a messy pixie hairstyle can be the right look. Whether you leave the sides a bit long or prefer them short, the key to this look is longer and textured hair on top. Don't go overboard in adding too much volume and height, simply go for texture with some good layering, but no short layers.
One of the best short haircuts for long faces is the chin-length bob hairstyle. It adds just the right amount of width to your face and it's one of trendiest version of the bob.
Bangs are extremely important when it comes to the best hairstyles for long faces. Give them a try, but stay away from the wispy look. Blunt bangs work wonders on hairstyles for a long face and round bangs can be equally charming.
If you're letting your short hair grow out, opt for a lob. The long bob that goes a bit under the chin but doesn't touch your shoulders is an excellent option as long as you get the right layering and add a bit of texture.
If you have straight hair and want to keep it that way, the best hairstyles for long faces are shorter ones. A good trick for straight hair is pulling it in a low ponytail or styling it side swept, like Megan Fox, but you'll get bored of it eventually.
Once you grow out your locks, you'll need plenty of layering and texture. Opt for either soft waves or big curls, they add width and frame your face better than a long cut.
Get face framing layers like Kim Kardashian or go for Liv Tyler's blunt bangs, perfect for a long wavy hair, even with minimal layering. Go for long layers if your hair is curly, but feel free to ask your stylist for shorter layers if you have wavy hair and want the best long hairstyles for long faces. | 2019-04-19T04:17:35 | http://www.becomegorgeous.com/hair/stylish_haircuts/best-haircuts-for-long-faces-A11676 |
[For Weekend Cat Blogging, please follow this link].
Since last Sunday (after my performance at the Y2K8 Looping Festival), visual art as taken over. October is Open Studios in San Francisco, where artists open up their studios to for public visits. I took advantage of the opportunity to get acquainted with local artists, mostly in the neighborhoods in walking distance, and the local art scene.
Taking in so much art and so many artists in such a short period of time is quite overwhelming, and I will only be able to describe a small fraction of what I saw. What makes a particular artist memorable and noteworthy is not only the quality of his or her work, but the conversations and personal connections. In some cases, I remember artists whose work may not fit my own aesthetic, but whose meeting was memorable. It was also the setting, and how their work fit in with my vision and sense of the neigbhorhoods.
My first day out was last Sunday during which I visited several large studios in the Potrero Hill and Mission districts. The first stop was Art Explosion Studios. Here I met and had a change to talk with Amy Seefeldt; and Victoria Highland, whose large city-scape on a hill in front of a bay (where have I seen that before?) was one of the better large-scale paintings I saw. Heidi McDowell had an interesting large-scale painting featuring a young girl at Lassen National Monument, which I visited last year. The recent work of Melisa Philips is perhaps closer to my own interests. One of her paintings featuring stenciled text is shown to the right. I have discussed here on CatSynth in the past my interest in text within visual art, and whether the words and letters are simply visual elements or retain their meaning. Melisa Philips and I had an interesting conversation about this topic. Additionally, her earlier work includes some of the more interesting female figures I encountered on this particular day.
It is hard to tell specifically where Potrero Hill ends and the Mission begins, and many of the venues on this particular trip sit in that ambiguous area of old industrial buildings dotted with lofts and art spaces. Within these spaces, I encountered not only traditional fine art, but other media as well, some which would have been traditionally classified as “craft.” There were several jewelry makers, for example – there is a fuzzy dividing line at which things like jewelry become art, perhaps when they become more an item to collect and display, rather than to wear. There were the chandeliers by “adventurer” Derek E. Burton, which were quite intricate and intriguing, and although they are completely opposite of my personal style and the style of CatSynth HQ, I enjoyed hearing Derek’s story and his passion for his work. Aliza Cohen presented mix-media art, but it was her wool pillows that caught my attention. I did also encounter more traditional media, such as the photography of Christine Federici that incorporated some architectural and space details, as well as a mixture of natural and artificial textures.
Interestingly, it seemed that “modern” art, which is my main interest, was a distinct minority among the works encountered on this first trip. Certainly, there were many artists working with abstraction, but overall it did not have the stark geometric or textural qualities that I have come to expect.
When searching for “abstract” on the main website, the work of Pauline Crowther Scott showed up on the list. Her works features images of cats. Cats and abstraction seem like a good combination, so I made the trip out to her home studio in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. The trip to the narrow and sometimes vertical streets and older houses in this neighborhood in the southeast of the city, on a somewhat chilly late afternoon, was an interesting experience in itself. Scott’s work was much less abstract than I had expected (she was in fact surprised by the designation), but she did have several works featuring cats that were added to earlier (and indeed somewhat abstract) images. One example was Three Cats on a Bedspread.
This weekend featured open studios the South of Market (SOMA) area, which is my own neighborhood. Overall, the works I encountered were decidedly more modern, and often seemed to take inspiration from the industrial and urban surroundings. Indeed, the mixed media works of Rebecca Kerlin draw upon the highway overpasses, such as I-80 and the approach to the Bay Bridge, that I have featured in many posts here at CatSynth, such as in this Wordless Wednesday post. Her work incorporates photos of familiar landmarks and details into mixed media pieces.
Two other photographers I also encountered at included familiar sights from both New York and San Francisco in their work, and I had fun identifying and discussing them. I have unfortunately misplaced both photographers’ contact info (and I cannot find them on the original list. Hopefully, I will be able to get in touch them soon.
Back at Soma Artists Studios (same location as Rebecca Kerlin), I saw an interesting progression the work of Flora Davis. Her early work featured oil paintings of cats, while her more recent work involves sheet metal. They were quite separate, indeed they were displayed in two separate studios. However, I think it would be interesting to place one or two of the smaller cat paintings next to her multi-panel metal works, and considering them as a unit. Indeed, it would summarize my experience as modernism, abstraction, geometry, and cats.
After an exhausting but rewarding walk around the neigbhorhood, I did have to time for a brief excursion south to some studios in the Mission Bay area, which includes much of the old industrial waterfront.
The view behind the studios at 1 Rankin Street onto the Islais Creek Channel were quite inspiring, even without the presence of art. Fitting with the environment, this studio featured metal sculptures. The large sculptures of Béla Harcos greeted visitors. No matter how much I am supposed to be looking for prints and paintings, I am still drawn to abstract metal sculpture. Rebecca Fox also had large works on display, and I able to glimpse her workspace and her collection of metal waiting to be used. The “artist blacksmith” Wolf Thurmeier has some smaller, even “miniature” abstract metal sculptures (what I would consider “apartment-sized”), forged from recycled metal.
Quite by coincidence, I also had the opportunity this weekend to attend a private tour of the Anderson Art Collection. The collection is located in Menlo Park (south of San Francisco, near Stanford University), and features late 20th century and early 21st century American art. It includes over 800 works, spanning about five decades and several notable styles and schools, including color fields, minimalism, the New York school of the 1950s and 1960s (e.g., Jasper Johns and Robert Rauchenberg). There were also recent computer-assisted works by Chuck Close, as well as emerging artists that the Andersons are supporting. One interesting discovery for me was Frank Lobdell. I will have to look for him on the outside. I found it interesting how some of his work resembled the Jasper Johns’ prints featured in the collection (especially the reductions in the very detailed brochures).
This visit to one of the premier private collections was an interesting contrast to many local independent artists over the past week. I would to think that my art experiences will continue to include both. | 2019-04-20T20:32:39 | https://www.catsynth.com/tag/jerry-veverka/ |

This summer holiday season is now open and be wherever we hold heat is key to always have the swimsuit. They come in all types, price and style, but overall its components are always the same. Its fabric is a fiber stretching, resists and stays well despite the way we treat heat, chlorine, salt, sunscreens, etc.
The swimsuit is the essential piece in any handbag for this summer. If we put so much effort into choosing one that left us well to the body, modern design that is comfortable and very beautiful, then the same determination will have to give to care and stay in good condition.
Increasingly their designs become sophisticated and added from special fabrics to embroidery, although they are unfit for use, need much attention. The fabric they are made, spandex, lycra, or other stretch fabrics, can also react badly to chemicals in the pool, the hot sun, washing and carelessness.
So for buying a swimsuit does not become an annual expenditure and the way we like to be used in the upcoming season, we offer some tips to stretch your life and that every time we use is spotless as the first day.
Support: Always try to sit on a towel on a chaise, a bank or any smooth surface. I will never do it on the floor, beside the pool (usually rough tiles anti slip) or sand. These elements are your worst enemy because it directly break it, rip it and will generate these odious balls near the tail.
Washing: there can hardly be washed with running water, never let too much time with the water of the pool or the sea, much less dry it well. For this there are showers available everywhere removing the residue of chemicals, salt, bacteria, etc. Also sunscreen and body oils can affect the elasticity of the garment and some even stain.
Suitable products in cleaning always use a mild soap, if for delicate, better clothes. Normal detergents can be very abrasive and affect the fiber. Even the shampoo hair can be a good alternative. During washing to do a lot of foam and rinse several times to remove any residue.
Not to washing: some fabrics may have swimwear that contain Lycra, or sconces, studs, embroidery, ribbons, etc. They can be affected by the washing machine. The same applies to the delicate areas like the top, inserts, straps, etc. Therefore it is desirable Hand wash . And if possible leave some hours to soak.
Water: cold water is your best ally, not so hot that ruins and deformed. To use the sauna, jacuzzi or other places is better not to use the favorite swimsuit.
Drying: Never squeeze to largue all wash water, this can damage the fabric. Nor never use dryer because it makes the same effect jacuzzi with hot steam. The strong direct sunlight is not advisable. After washing, wrap it in a towel and gently dry, then hang it in the shade.
Leisure: experts warn fabric spandex or lycra fabrics are “memory”, ie they need at least a day to recover its original shape. Therefore it is advisable not to use the same swimsuit always, I rather merged back someone else to give this break in the fiber.
Chemicals and other products despite fabrics swimsuits are tough, never get along with suntan oil, cream, stain, etc. Then it is essential to use neutral products, not too perfumed and if we do not have at least a good rinsed with water alone will keep it in top condition.
Caring for a garment makes its durability and resistance is higher, you do not lose shape, color or you generate defects to the fabric. To do these tips are the best allies of your favorite swimsuit.

Many fall planted, spring flowering bulbs may be grown indoors to bloom during winter.
Some of the most commonly indoor forced bulbs are small early tulip varieties, crocuses, daffodils, narcissus, and hyacinths. Pot these bulbs in a well-drained planting mix and containers with drainage holes. Plant the bulbs so that they are only half covered with potting soil. Allow for 2.5 cm (1 in.) or more of soil below the bulbs. For best results plant bulbs with time same flowering in same container.
Most hardy outdoor bulbs require a cool dormancy period at 3-10 C (35-50F) after they are potted. A cold room or an extra refrigerator can be put into use for this purpose. However, apples or cabbages must not be in the same area since they release ethylene gas which will damage flower buds. These bulbs require total darkness during dormancy; be sure to cover the bulb pots if they are located in an unheated porch or daylight-exposed area.
The length the cool period varies depending on the type and variety of bulb. The cooling requirements for some of the popular forcing bulbs have been listed below to help you with choosing compatible bulbs.
During the cool period keep the soil barely moist; check every week or so to make sure the soil does not dry out. If the bulbs are kept too wet the they can rot; dust bulbs with Bulb Dust before planting or soak them in a Benomyl solution to prevent such problems. Benomyl also controls the growth of mould on the soil surface.
Once bulbs show signs of shoot development move them into a warmer, 15 C (60 F), brightly lit location and keep the soil evenly moist. Warmer temperatures may damage the flowers. After the buds appear the pots may be moved into any light for display. After blooming bulbs can be discarded (they cannot be forced again) or saved for planting outside later in the spring.
Hyacinths can be forced in special hyacinth glasses which are filled with enough water to touch the base of the bulb. They will still need to be cooled in water-filled glasses for 10-12 weeks. | 2019-04-19T13:14:07 | https://greengate.ca/force-bulbs.html |

The question is: Is it safe to put the 2 statues that were stolen from the storage of Amenhotep III temple on west bank, Luxor back in the same storage? Will there be more guards on site and other sites?
Will be there someone who can answer these questions? When can someone responsible tell the world that the Egyptian Antiquities are safe for real???!!!!
Early on Saturday morning the news spread about 3 guards were injured and two statues were stolen in an attack on an antiquities storage on west bank of Luxor. General Mohamed Salah Zaid (The head of the Police administration in Luxor) said at 10:30am that the news about 15 armed men attacking temporary antiquities storage on Amenhotep III temple site is not true.
Nearly an hour after that Gen. Mohamed Salah said that he received a report stated that 11 men with sticks managed to break into the storage and steal 2 statues.
The story started at 3:30am Saturday when a group of thugs attacked the guards and stole 2 statues, one was found last Wednesday (38cm height,23cm width and 26cm thickness) which is a head with the left side broken and the other statue of Sekhmet (69cm height and 40cm width). It was stated that the storage was not locked and the guards statements about what happened to them varied between they got drugged, beaten and tide down also there was a power cut at the time of the attack.
As it was the early hours of Saturday when they did their attack, it was also the early hours of Sunday when the police in co-operation with the army arrested 3 men of the group and working on arresting the other. The 2 statues were retrieved from the main suspect’s house in Nag’ Khalifa,Qurna where one of the thugs lives. The arrested men names as follows: Ahmed Zot(Sculptor),Shaban Taya Ahmed(Farmer),Hassan El azb Hassan El rawi(nephew of the main man) and Mahmoud Hassan Abo Elmagd(drives a microbus No. 2963 Luxor). They are going to stand for a military trial in Qena.
It got to our knowledge that the 2 statues were back in the same storage to be restored before they may be relocated. | 2019-04-19T06:57:57 | http://luxortimesmagazine.blogspot.com/2011_03_20_archive.html |

PartXplore, from Vero Software, contains many innovative features usually found in high-end CAD systems which enable to the user to perform part diagnostics, create assembly instructions and prepare the production of 3D models. The software, which can open the native files of Edgecam, VISI and WorkNC, was created to efficiently import and analyse all file types and sizes at high speed. It often takes less than half the time to open a file compared to the original CAD application.
Reader and writer support for MEG files.
It is now possible to write solid and mesh models into the 3D PDF and JTOpen formats, and the resulting files will contain mesh entities. Solid and mesh models can also be exported in the MEG format used by Vero Software’s production machining CAD/CAM solution, Edgecam. In addition, MEG files can be imported into PartXplore. The translators support most file formats, including DXF/DWG, IGESW, Inventor, Parasolid, SolidWorks, Rhino, Pro/E – Creo, several versions of Catia, and several others.
As well as the enhancements to the translators, updates have been made to PartXplore 2017 R1’s curvature analysis. The object being analysed can now be displayed with colours corresponding to curvature radius values defined as ranges. New radius values can be added and edited interactively, and colours can be displayed in either flat or gradient mode. | 2019-04-20T14:19:49 | https://www.cnctimes.com/editorial/translator-and-curvature-analysis-in-new-partxplore |
I have an issue which i would like some opinions on.
I am having an issue with an older product where it appears that the processor is hanging.
When debugging this, i have been informed that the USART comms is not used anymore and is left disconnected.
I see this as an issue as my Rx line is not tied high using pull-ups (rookie mistake), so now it is floating.
To make matters worse, the unit has been moved to an noisy environment, close to large motors.
After reviewing the code i noticed a redundant while loop in my USART Rx ISR, as below.
if (rx_cnt==BUFFER_SIZE) // if BUFFER_SIZE is reached, reset to start of buffer.
My question is, can the ISR fire, due to noise, without the RXC bit been set in the register, therefore causing my app to sit waiting for RXC making it appear that my uC is hanging?
I am using an Atmega8 with AVR studio 4.18 (old project).
Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.
It makes no sense to POLL the RXC bit in the IRQ, after all it has to be set to get there! The simple solution would be to install a loopback connector (TXD connected to RXD) into the missing serial port on the board, in that way the input would no longer be floating!
100% agree with the polling not been needed, thats what i meant with redundant while.
I'm really interested now to see if noise could fire the ISR but not set the RXC.
If this is not possible then the polling can't hang the uC.
That's why there is a watchdog timer in microcontrollers -- at least then the app will reset and restart.
Now, you are a bit stuck with the old AVR model and existing app. If it were e.g. Mega88, I'd suggest something like watchdog interrupt and grab the return address in the ISR and log to EEPROM or somewhere. Than after a number of these incidents you can see if it is always/usually at the same spot -- a real "hang".
Or not...then I'd suspect some kind of noise zap. AVR8s are pretty tough in a variety of environments. But when hit with hard enough noise spikes (which far exceed Absolute Maximum Ratings by the way) very "interesting" things can happen, most of them ugly.
If you can reproduce on the bench you will be much of the way home.
Yes it is the old AVR that somewhat limits me.
I can't for the life of me reproduce this, the customer can't either.
There could be the argument that this is a setup issue and nothing to do with the processor at all but i'm trying un-turn every stone at this stage.
Is there anyway for me to trigger the ISR without setting RXC, or is the ISR fired by the status of RXC?
If you have the source code, why not disable the USART and be done? Problem solved. Unless you would prefer not to as the possibility of the USART being used in the future?
I can't say with 100% certainty that the USART is the issue.
This is my theory that it could be USART, but my unit is a small part of a bigger system, could be another part causing the issue.
At this point I am trying to see explore all possibilities on my side, a un-needed while loop is always a concern for me.
There is also the possibility that the USART may be used in the future so can't disable it.
Can you tack a 4.7k resistor from the RXD line to the AVR's Vcc?
Can you post a schematic of the circuit? USART area only.
As Lee notes the AVR's are pretty tough.
But you could certainly disable the interrupt now, and see if it then reproduces.
Jim its just a staright track from the pin to the outside world connector, the max232 is part of an outside jig.
I could disable but its only happening on a customer site which is in a different country. I can't produce it in the lab.
Does the RX ISR firing without setting RXC seem plausible?
In theory, no, but once you get into the realm of noise and spikes then all bets are off.
A USART should only start doing anything once it sees a start bit which is, according to the datasheet, only detected once 3 consecutive 0s are seen in the middle of the bit. So it's lowpass filtered by the hardware.
I wonder if the USART is getting the blame unfairly? Are there any other floating pins which might have get 'enabled'? Or what happens if the processor gets an unexpected reset?
Possibly Brian, I am only thinking it may be the USART because of the While loop.
The RXD areTXD lines are floating.
The MISO, MOSI and SCK lines are connected to a 6pin programming connector but would also be floating in the application.
There is nothing to handle a unexpected reset.
If the chip reset and started from scratch would be better, but the customer is reporting the unit hangs.
The hang is coming from a customer description, the unit has a PWM which should vary it's duty cycle depending on an ADC measurement and in turn vary something in their app, instead they say that the PWM holds constant.
Once they manually reset the unit, the PWM works as expected.
100% agree with above but does it sound plausible if the chip got a big noise spike and didn't reset would the PWM hold constant (latch)?
Sorry for all the vague questions but I am working off a very limited amount of information myself.
I can finally recreate this issue on my bench with a returned unit.
There is no issue with the USART.
Instead it seems that my PWM is holding its value and not changing when i write new values to it.
I spotted this errata in the datasheets and I believe it may be the issue.
Does this means all interrupts with regard to the PWM will be missed or just the next interrupt?
I update TCCR1A and OCR1B quite regularly in my code and in the same position.
I also used timer 0 for my timings.
Is it possible that this could cause the issue?
Timer1 is not an asynchronous timer. Timer2 usually is.
How do you know you are actually writing values to the timer?
I have a signal which goes high when i am in my PWM function so I am fairly sure it is writing the values.
You are correct that only timer 2 is async on the Atmega8.
I am using timer 0 and timer 1 (OC1A and OC1B as PWM) so this may not be applicable to my issue.
So what if an irq was missed (as in, never happened)...that generally should not cause your program to hang (or write it so that it won't!)......of course, if it forms some part of a handshake sequence or causes a deadlock, that might be a diff story (but again, should be set up with some escape).
If possible, try disabling IRQ's one-by-one to determine which (if any) hang. Or do the reverse & turn them all off & enable them one-by-one until something bad happens. Hopefully the failure occurs often, so you can observe it & also know pretty reliably that it is really fixed.
By the way, can't you turn on the internal pullup for the rxd pin? | 2019-04-24T07:18:59 | https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/usart-receive-interrupt-question |

The ISA delegation will discuss with WEF its work on educating corporate boards on cyber-risk management, including the development of cyber-risk handbooks for German and UK Boards of Directors based on the U.S. version created by the National Association of Corporate Directors. (NACD) Those handbooks will be released following the WEF meeting at the NACD Global Cyber Forum in Geneva on April 18. Also on the agenda are discussions on streamlining cybersecurity regulations and improving the cybersecurity workforce internationally. | 2019-04-26T02:26:31 | https://isalliance.org/top-cybersecurity-executives-join-isa-delegation-to-world-economic-forums-new-cyber-center/ |

a priority. Individual preferences can be catered for, as seating arrangements are flexible. The road is there and can be seen, but it is no longer the focus of each and every passenger, as in a cinema. This first class traveling lounge is not a foreign concept if we consider air travel. The flexibility of movement for each individual, along with the Infotainment guided by the car computer, gives a sense of luxury well beyond the material and finish that will be expected from such modern and sophisticated vehicles.
The Nucleus can easily accommodate six people.

The third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (HABITAT III) is an international conference of global importance. Every 20 years, under the aegis of the United Nations, the world’s national governments, NGOs, Civil Society and local stakeholders meet to develop a joint compact. This compact then informs national policies regarding key issues such as housing, urbanization and social equity for the next 20 years. Despite the fact that more than half of the world’s population already lives in cities, the process of urbanization continues to gain momentum. Every day, almost 250,000 people move to cities, some 75 million annually. This rate of urban expansion creates major challenges that call for inspired design and planning interventions. Design professionals must play a major role in developing sustainable and socially equitable solutions for these new cities.
This program is one of a series of preparatory events designed to help set the agenda for HABITAT III in 2016. Unlike many other events that deal with the same subject matter, this event will try to ensure that the role of design will be given appropriate prominence at HABITAT III. HABITAT III will provide a unique opportunity to focus the attention of world governments on the critical importance of a city-scale sustainable urbanization in planning for the future. The goal is to achieve an agreed-upon blueprint that will set the priorities for many countries for the next 20 years.

I am going to share my experience and videos about how I generated 100 email leads in just a week using Thrive Leads.Before I go forward you may want to read detail review of Thrive Leads here.
Thrive Leads is a leading WordPress Email lead generation plugin for WordPress. It provides a simple editor to create optin forms. You can target your email optin based on post, categories etc. You also have option to use A/B testing. Today in this post, I am going to share my experience and review of Thrive Leads and how it proved useful within a week.
How I Generated 100 leads in a week using Thrive Leads?
I never used any email optin plugin earlier before Thrive Leads. I always wonder why I am getting visitors but they are not converting to email leads. Finally, Thrive Leads helped me to achieve 100 leads within a week. This helped me and proves every penny invested in Thrive Leads worth.
Now let's see my reports in the detail. You must make sure every visitors must optin to your email list. Thrive Leads provides you every tool to achieve it.
I am going to explain 3 types of optin forms which work very well for me. Please note creating an optin forms is very easy in Thrive Leads and everything is drag and drop.
This is an optin which every blogger must use. This will be visible on the front page or homepage of your blog. This can be used to promote your brand online or offer a free ebook for email optin.
You can keep it as a textbox optin directly or invoke it using a button. This is working very fine for me. People who come on by blog using my homepage often subscribe to it.
There are two types of screen filler available in Thrive Leads; screen filler and scroll mat. The difference between them is, you can ignore scroll mat but not screen filler. Screen filler makes sure user will pay attention to the optin.
How I generated 100 email leads in a week using Thrive Leads?
The best part of Thrive Leads is A/B testing. I simply loved it. It lets you compete for more than one optin form with each other and let it decide the winners. Using this, I have selected the winner between scroll mat and screen filler.
This is the best and my favorite optin. This is one optin which has given me maximum lead. This is the single reason why I purchased Thrive leads.
Exit intent optin is the last place in your blog where you throw an optin when a user tries to exit.
This is the third type of optin I use for my blog. This is a two-step optin in which an optin box is displayed once a user clicks on a link or a button. This is a good way to direct user for a call to action.
Please make sure you highlight the button or include the link in a highlighted box to get user attention.
I am using Thrive Leads for almost 2 months now and I am very happy with it. It gives me a lot of ways to get email leads from visitors.
Thrive popup, Exit optin and Thrive two steps optin is giving me best results so far and I have already started building my email leads. Though I am a still a newbie but I am on my way to get 1000 email subscribers.
I will highly recommend new bloggers to try Thrive leads to start building their email list. It has all type of optin popup you need for your blog. Remember, whether you are a newbie or expert blogger, you have to start building the email list from day one.
Please do not forget to share it with other bloggers, who are looking to build their email list. Also, I would love to hear your comments about the Thrive Leads. Would you like to try it? | 2019-04-23T03:01:55 | https://www.ravisinghblog.in/thrive-leads-review-how-i-generated-100-email-leads-in-a-week/ |
Our Signature Tower is the perfect way to enjoy our most popular chocolates! These are the pieces that get people talking and make customers come back again and again.
We include a 15-piece box of our original Every Flavor Collection. This classic and most popular gift features all ten of our award winning flavors. To make them, we infuse real herbs and spices into fresh cream, add the cream into rich Valrhona milk or dark chocolate, enrobe each piece in a thin layer of 62% dark Valrhona chocolate and mark them all by hand with a fork.
Noted for their extremely thin skins and sweet, almost candy-like taste, our 12-piece Spanish figs are filled by hand with a silky dark 64% Valrhona ganache flavored with whiskey and hand-dipped in dark 62% chocolate. The Calabacita variety of fig is grown by a family owned company in"Los Llanillos" in the village of Almoharin located in the Extremadura region of Spain.
Our 6-piece Chocolate Honey Caramel Bees have a liquid caramel center and a clear, caramelized honey taste. This unique flavor comes naturally from the fragrant clover honey we use, supplied by the Draper Family Apiaries in Millerton, PA. Once filled, each of the six bees is carefully painted by hand with a paper-thin layer of yellow and black cocoa butter. | 2019-04-20T11:23:43 | https://www.johnandkiras.com/product/signature-tower/Chocolate-Figs |

Dating a single mother represents a departure from the normal dating atmosphere and rules. Because of the presence of children as well as their need and right to care, attention and consideration, you may find that you have a little extra work to do when pursuing a single mom. Although your dating life may not be as carefree as that of two single people, seeing someone with kids can still be rewarding. Being aware of the unique circumstance can go a long way toward making things easier.
Dating a single mom calls for extra care and respect.
Expect any single mother worth her salt to put the care and concerns of her children first. Many women are called on to play the role of both mother and father, and you can expect that her children's needs, whatever they may be, will be paramount to her. Being jealous of her time will likely be counterproductive.
Many single mothers are reluctant to introduce their children to a man until they are certain that he will be sticking around for awhile. Be respectful of her need to not allow her kids to bond with someone who may not actually play any long-term role in their lives. If this is frustrating, try to remember that what she is demonstrating is loyalty to her kids and a desire to protect them from needless harm. These are positive character traits, even if it takes you longer to progress in the relationship than you normally might. If and when you do meet her children, make sure that you have discussed with her what their needs might be as well as how to approach them. She may not be comfortable with public displays of affection or overnight stays until you are firmly ensconced as a significant other in her children's eyes. Communicate about what is appropriate at what times.
When children are involved, it is difficult to always adhere to a rigid schedule or to assume that things won't go wrong. There will be times when you are having fun and she will need to get home to drive the babysitter home. A child might come down with the flu and derail date night. As a parent, she will be expected to roll with these kinds of punches. If you choose to date a single mother, some of that will be expected of you as well.
Very few single mothers have not been through some kind of turmoil. Know her history, so you know how to proceed. For instance, a woman who has endured betrayal or abuse may need a slow and steady approach, as opposed to one who found that she was simply not compatible with her ex. Recognize that her ex and the father of her children is likely to be in and out of her life. That in itself can bring stress to a good relationship. The key is good communication on both sides and a pact to put aside any jealousy.
One of the hardest things about being a single mom is the lack of time to do anything for yourself, the exhaustion in the evenings after wrestling children to bed. Offering frequent small gestures speaks pure romance to the tired, overworked single mother who has to spend so much time caring for others and gives her own needs the back burner. Drop by unexpectedly to give her a back or foot massage after a rough day. Buy her that necklace that she has been eyeing, but you know she doesn't have the budget for. Distract the kids for a few hours so she can sit down uninterrupted and catch up with a friend online or go grocery shopping on her own. These kinds of things are the candy and flowers to a single mother (not that those go over badly, either). Give her moments where she is allowed to be taken care of. Speak her language in terms of what would help her propel the relationship forward.

Today, President Obama appointed Vivek Kundra federal chief information officer, which is a new administrative position in the U.S. government. Kundra, currently the District of Columbia’s chief technology officer, will be in charge of policy and strategic planning of federal investments in information technology. Kundra, 34, has previous experience as an executive at the DC-area software and IT firms Evincible and Creostar.
As it turns out, Kundra also has a connection to a Seattle tech startup. Since 2007, Kundra’s group in the DC municipal government has been using a data-visualization package from Tableau Software, based in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. Kundra’s group used Tableau’s product to create charts and graphs for its CapStat program, which has received a fair bit of attention as a way to present trends and analysis to the general public on municipal issues like crime, disaster response, school security, and city maintenance. The program is one of the ways in which Kundra has been recognized in his efforts to make the workings of the DC government more transparent.
Here’s how the Tableau connection came about. Back in early 2007, a DC data analyst named Phil Heinrich was asked to look into patterns of ambulance deployments across the city. He came across Tableau on the Internet, tried it out, and signed up as a customer. Pretty soon, he was using Tableau’s software to help the mayor of DC, Adrian Fenty, monitor city departments more effectively.
As we’ve reported previously, Tableau raised a $10 million Series B round last September from New Enterprise Associates, and has been signing up customers and selling its wares at a record rate. The company was founded in 2003, and has been profitable since 2007.
Tableau isn’t the only Seattle startup with a tie to the Obama administration, either. Blist, based near Pioneer Square, was tapped by the Obama-Biden Transition Project in January to manage and publish interactive lists of donors on its website, Change.gov. | 2019-04-22T14:43:30 | https://xconomy.com/seattle/2009/03/05/vivek-kundra-the-nations-new-cio-is-supporter-of-seattle-startup-tableau-software/ |

Yesterday, during Prime Minister’s Questions, Nigel raised the closure of Kellingley Colliery in the House during Prime Minister’s questions, asking the Prime Minister to join him in recognising the mine, the miners, and its importance to the area. The transcript of Nigel’s question and the Prime Minister’s response, as recorded in Hansard, are below, and can also be accessed along with the rest of the session here.
Q10. Nigel Adams (Selby and Ainsty) (Con): This Friday sadly sees the closure of Britain’s last deep coal mine at Kellingley in my constituency. Will my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister join me in thanking the hundreds of workers who will be working their last shift this Friday, and praise the thousands of workers whose bravery and hard graft over the past 50 years has helped warm our homes, power our factories, and keep our lights on?
The Prime Minister: My hon. Friend speaks very strongly for his constituents. I am very happy to join him in thanking people who have worked so hard at that mine and elsewhere. Obviously it is a difficult time.
“We must take action…to keep fossil fuels in the ground”. That is their policy. They have also got a policy, by the way, of reopening coal mines, so presumably what they are going to do is dig a big hole in the ground and sit there and do nothing. What a metaphor for the right hon. Gentleman’s leadership of his party! | 2019-04-19T04:26:43 | http://www.selbyandainsty.com/nigel-raises-closure-of-kellingley-colliery-during-prime-ministers-questions/ |

GRC means governance, risk, and compliance that we all know but the full story of GRC more than of three words.
This all activates done by internal audit department, compliance, risk, legal, finance, IT, HR departments as well as the lines of business, executive suite and the board itself.
GRC is a method that works to synchronize data and performance behind governance, risk management, and compliance in order to operate more efficiently, enable effective information distribution, more effectively report activities and avoid wasteful overlaps. Although interpreted differently in various organizations, GRC typically encompasses activities such as corporate governance, enterprise risk management (ERM) and corporate compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Our GRC Maturity Survey observes that dislocated GRC activities cause a number of problems.
To address these drivers, organizations develop departments and programs such as performance management; risk management; compliance; corporate social responsibility; and so on.
When these activities are siloed, it is highly likely that counter-productive objectives are established, sub-optimal strategies are selected, and performance isn’t optimized.
Combining GRC skills does not mean building a mega-department of GRC and preparing on with decentralized management. Nor does it call for the use of only one GRC software system to manage it all.
Governance explains the overall management approach throughout which senior managers direct and controls the whole system, using a series of management knowledge and hierarchical management control arrangements. Governance actions assure that important management information reaching the governing business is sufficiently complete, reliable and timely to enable proper management decision-making and contribute the control mechanisms to ensure that strategies, directions, and instructions from management are carried out orderly and efficient.
Risk Management meets the highest security standards to help keep your data safe Risk management is the set of methods through which management organizes, analyzes, and, where required, responds competently to risks that might adversely affect the realization of the organization’s business goals. The report to risks typically depends on their noticed gravity and includes controlling, avoiding, receiving or transferring them to a third person. Whereas organizations routinely manage a wide range of risks external legal and regulatory agreement risks are arguably the important issue in GRC.
Compliance means conforming to stated specifications. At an organizational level, it is achieved through administration methods which identify the appropriate requirements assess the state of compliance, assess the risks and potential harms of non-compliance against the calculated expenses to achieve compliance, and hence prioritize, fund and initiate any corrective actions deemed necessary. | 2019-04-25T10:08:13 | https://www.sapglobe.com/what_is_sap_grc/ |

Following the passage of Hurricane Maria the general consensus was that in order to foster the process of rebuilding a new Dominica the government must lead the way in insuring that things are done differently – governance must become more transparent and that all Dominicans irrespective of political views would become equal partners in the rebuilding process. In fact PM Skerrit promised the international community that he would institute a culture of transparency within his administration but so far it is just more of the same corruption and crass partisan machinations.
Many of us will remember that even after the DLP administration had systematically orchestrated the demise of the agriculture sector, the prime Minister and his cabinet members suddenly realized that in order to move forward from ravages of Hurricane Maria the agricultural sector must become the spring board for the economy. Under international scrutiny Roosevelt Skerrit and his administration committed themselves to rebuilding agriculture –all hands on deck but snakes never change their survival instincts. They continue to use whatever national resources available to buy voter sympathy.
As a first show of commitment to help Dominica’s recovery process the World Bank provided over EC $18 Million towards the reconstruction of the agricultural sector but instead of using the funds to really develop the agriculture sector the PM and his cronies are using the World Bank funds to play political games and we want the World Bank (WB) to know about the despicable behavior of the PM and the cast of players out of his office- Reggie Saverin,, Steve Ferrol and Kervin Stevenson. Note that Kervin Stevenson who was supposed to take up the position of acting Permanent Secretary at the Ministry Of Agriculture is no longer acting and instead the chief veterinarian and prospective Labor Party Candidate, Reginald Thomas is now the acting Permanent Secretary.
Under the watch of the international community it was promised that all “qualified” farmers would receive at least $6000 to assist them with the restoration of their agricultural farms but up to now the farmers are yet to receive the funds. As a matter of fact “some people” were expecting checks on Tuesday but that did not happen. Some people are also expecting to collect checks tomorrow however our information also suggests that the money will not be available tomorrow.
Notice that we are saying “some People” as oppose to farmers are expecting to collect checks tomorrow. This is so because the Prime Minister and his handlers have decided that his Vielle Case constituency and not the genuine farmers out of the main agricultural areas like Marigot, Salisbury, and Wesley will be the focus for the distribution of the World Bank funds. To date only one meeting was held with farmers of Dominica on the matter of the World Bank funds and that meeting was held in Vielle case.
The entire planning process for the distribution of the WB agricultural fund reeks of fraud and political meandering. Farmers are coming out of the woodworks in Vielle case – multiple families many of whom are not farmers are listed to receive $6000. We are aware of some cases where multiple members of the same household are slated to receive $6000 each even though these families and individual family members have no agricultural farms.
We are also aware that some bona fide farmers and non-Laborite with large holdings are also listed to receive funds but are only listed for $2000, particularly non DLP supporters. It is worth noting that during our investigation we found out that prior to Hurricane Maria only 12 farmers show up at farmer’s engagement in the Vielle case constituency and now the farmers listed for the WB funds in the same constituency is now 500 and growing.
As previously noted the clandestine planning for the distribution of the WB funds has been taking place out of the PM’s office. It was Reggie Severin from the PM’s office who conducted that unscrupulous meeting with the fly-by-night farmers of Vielle case. We understand that the agricultural extension officers have not been included in the process of identifying the deserving farmers in Dominica and when the extension officers questioned the process Reggie Severin informed the extension officers that this is an exclusive operation. We also understand that in order to facilitate their bogus intent the PM’s handlers have ask the hinky farmers to falsify the information on the application form – Sketchy farmers of Vielle case are ask to state on the form that they had been supplying DEXIA and the local supermarkets with agricultural produce.
In addition to the shambolic operation out of the PM’s office, government Ministers have also been submitting their own list of bogus farmers from their own constituencies. We also understand that the selection of people (not necessarily farmers) for the WB agricultural funds is now a cabinet affair- the Ministry Of Agriculture and the extension officers have been totally excluded.
Ha Ha, tears of sorrow, tears of joy. When will we wake up and say "enough is enough"? | 2019-04-23T01:05:54 | http://www.masinthecemetery.com/2017/12/world-bank-agricultural-funds-are-being.html |
Our neighbour Marc was weeding his front yard the other day and grabbed a handful of weeds. He looked down at the weeds in his hand and within the weeds were little newborn wild bunnies (still covered in goo). 7 in total. Not knowing what to do (and thinking they were baby mice at first), Marc and Pablo took them to the vet clinic down the street. It was there that they discovered they were bunnies and were told to go put them back in case the mother comes back. They put the bunnies back and we covered them back up with grass and dirt and then sprinkled flour over the top in the hopes that we could see animal prints in the flour - hopefully momma's prints. It poured all night long so that didn't work. Marc went to check on the bunnies and only four made it through the night. Marc and Pablo started googling what to do to save the bunnies and found that the bunnies needed food fast - kitten meal replacement milk. The boys went to buy some and some syringes and came back home and got to feeding - 5cc's for each bunny every 24 hours for the first week (UPDATE: we were just told that the 5 cc's needs to be given 3 times a day - so 2 more feedings today) and 10cc 's after that. You should have seen them eat - they were starving. Here are some photos I took of the little guys. I don't think they liked the flash too much but I made it quick.
I hope the four will make it and have a good life, where ever they end up living it.
Be careful getting too attached... baby bunnies are really, really hard to hand raise... most don't make it :( Good luck, though, and hope you get to be the lucky ones!
Awwwww thank goodness those guys took care of them! They are so sweet! I'm happy to hear there are other people in the world that would take care of them!
My kids and I awwed and oohed over these -- so precious.
I found your blog because we are in the same situation. Found bunnies, a couple of them were dead, and poor things were freezing (despite it being very warm outside). How long did you have them for? Did they all survive?
We only had them for a couple days. None survived unfortunately. | 2019-04-23T06:05:53 | http://www.thebooandtheboy.com/2012/09/newborn-abandoned-wild-bunnies.html |
The relationship between stars and the material around them — the interstellar medium — is complicated. Stars are born from this material — wispy clouds of hydrogen, helium, and other elements, plus tiny grains of dust. And when stars die, they expel much of their material back into the interstellar medium, enriching it with elements forged inside the stars themselves.
And between birth and death, a star can have a powerful influence on the interstellar medium around it.
An example is the star known as Alpha Camelopardalis. It’s one of the brightest stars of the faint constellation Camelopardalis, the giraffe, which is high in the north on January evenings.
Alpha Cam is probably about 30 times as massive as the Sun. That great heft makes its surface extremely hot, driving a strong “wind” of gas off the surface and into space. This material forms a big bubble around Alpha Cam.
The star is racing through the galaxy at millions of miles per hour. As it plows through the interstellar medium, its wind squeezes the cooler gas and dust ahead of the star, forming a bow shock — like water piling up in front of a ship. The shock wave spans several light-years.
Over time, it’s possible that the shock wave could help compress the interstellar medium enough to give birth to new stars — continuing the complex relationship between the stars and the material around them.
We’ll have more about Camelopardalis tomorrow. | 2019-04-24T18:30:50 | https://www.stardate.org/radio/program/shocking-star |

Mayr Brothers Logging started in 1933 with a single horse named, "Old Bess" that brothers Werner and Marzell Mayr purchased to yard pulpwood. These horses were soon parlayed into trucks and tractors and by teh 1970s, Mayr Bros Logging had amassed one of the most valuable holdings of timber land in these United States. This t-shirt was featured at the Northwest Timber Revival festival in Hoquiam, Wash on August 309th. Profits from the sale of this t-shirt go to the Grays Harbor College Foundation and the Natural Resource Department's Timber Technology Degree Program to help train the next generation of timbermen and foresters. | 2019-04-25T08:14:44 | https://www.horsescutshop.com/men-t-shirts/mayr-bros-t-shirt.html |
Prompted by a situation that occurred that morning (see the related story in this issue), the Sarasota County commissioners agreed on Nov. 27 to hold a future, in-depth discussion regarding potential changes in how they conduct the Open to the Public portions of their meetings.
The board members were unable to begin consideration of the business items on their Nov. 27 agenda until almost an hour after the meeting started, primarily because 15 people had signed up to talk about issues related to the board’s May 2016 vacation of North Beach Road on Siesta Key.
Commissioner Charles Hines broached the topic of Open to the Public procedures as the board members provided their individual reports to their colleagues at the end of their Nov. 27 morning session.
Before any of his colleagues joined the board, Hines continued, he sat through one commission meeting with three hours of Open to the Public comments on a proposed ban on retail sales of pets. As a result, he said, the board was able to handle only one item of business on that morning’s agenda.
In some cases — as with a later item on the Nov. 27 agenda — applicants seeking commission approval of a request have paid attorneys and engineers to represent them, Hines added. If the project team members were scheduled for a morning presentation and ended up having to return in the afternoon because of a belabored Open to the Public session, he said, the applicant would end up with higher consulting and/or attorney’s bills.
In Charlotte County, Hines pointed out, the commission conducts an Open to the Public session at the end of each regular meeting. Perhaps, he said, the Sarasota County board should impose a rule saying that if all speakers have not been heard before an established time limit has been reached, anyone who still wishes to make comments will have to wait until the end of the board’s business items.
Chair Detert concurred with Hines in regard to the fairness of the process for people who have scheduled agenda items, especially those who have paid attorneys to represent them.
Municipal boards, she noted, also have been contending recently with groups taking over meetings on topics not on the agenda.
The only other way to control Open to the Public is to impose a shorter speaking time, she continued, and a Florida Statute makes that questionable. Detert noted that some jurisdictions have tried to set a 2-minute limit.
Commissioner Alan Maio did point out that the only opportunity people have to address discussion items on agendas — when public testimony is not considered — is during Open to the Public. Those speakers should have top priority, he indicated. Then anyone else who wished to address the board could do so as time permitted in the morning, Maio said. If time ran out, they could wait until all the county business had been conducted.
Detert asked whether her colleagues felt it would be fair to ask any person who puts in a card for Open to the Public, who is not planning to address an item on the agenda, to wait until the end of the meeting to speak.
Commissioner Christian Ziegler responded that he would find that helpful. Then, as soon as the meeting concluded, he could start to follow up on issues they had raised, including scheduling time with the appropriate county staff to learn more background and undertaking research on his own.
Since every speaker has to fill out a card with contact information, Detert suggested he might, at times, want to phone a speaker to ask the person to meet with him.
Detert noted that she would be attending the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) conference in Tampa later in the week. She added that she probably would bring up the issue with commissioners there, to learn how their boards handle Open to the Public.
Hines, too, said he was planning to be at the FAC meeting and would take the opportunity to do the same. Additionally, he told his colleagues, the Sarasota County Commission could ask that staff research the Open to the Public practices of other Charter counties.
Hines proposed discussing changes to Open to the Public when the board holds its annual retreat, set for Dec. 7 this year. Detert agreed.
However, County Administrator Jonathan Lewis cautioned the commissioners that their retreat agenda already is full, so he did not think they would have as much time as they might anticipate for the topic.
Leigh Sprimont, who manages Commission Services for the county, has been researching updates on other issues to bring to the board after the start of 2019, Lewis added. Perhaps a general discussion about Open to the Public could be included on the commission’s Jan. 3, 2019 regular meeting agenda, he suggested.
No board member objected to that idea. | 2019-04-25T16:00:02 | https://sarasotanewsleader.com/county-commission-to-consider-changes-to-open-to-the-public-sessions-in-effort-to-keep-agenda-items-on-schedule-and-facilitate-fairness-to-petitioners/ |
Very impressed by the first addition of The Manning Community News.
We live in Harrington and also love our town. At Harrington we not only have the beautiful Manning River but also the ocean with its ever rolling waves, sand dunes, dolphins, whales and excellent recreational fishing opportunities.
A visit to Wingham is always a pleasure because our eyes are opened to a much different scenario. There’s the wonderfully preserved courthouse and town hall reminding us of days gone by, the main street with its excellent shopping and restaurant venues and, of course, the bats who love to come and feast on our mangoes when in season.
We also have our town at heart and spend many tireless hours trying to convince council of improvements that could be made. Improvements are not just for us but the Manning Valley as a whole to encourage the tourism dollar. | 2019-04-20T14:37:05 | http://www.manningcommunitynews.com/2015/07/we-also-love-our-town/ |
My first blog post went up on September 17, 2010. It was titled "Welcome!" and was a small introduction for this blog original's title and purpose: For the Love of Reading. As a senior in high school, I was required to complete a senior project, and for my project I chose to put together my very own author signing, which I dubbed For the Love of Reading.
Leading up to the event with Holly Cupala, Kimberly Derting, Mandy Hubbard, and Lisa Schroeder, I posted a couple author interviews and random posts, and then posted about the event itself. For the next few months I posted sporadically, and eventually decided I wanted to turn For the Love of Reading into something I'd seen existing through Twitter: a book blog. I think I wanted to redesign the whole thing a bit--I really had no idea what I was doing, what went into reviewing a book, and so on--and I think I really only changed the name because it couldn't be my URL. I ended up combining my love of Beauty and the Beast with my love for books, and thus Beauty and the Bookshelf was born.
You might notice that this is my third blogoversary, yet my first post was in 2010 and almost five years ago (holy crap). At some point I decided to make June 19 my official blogoversary (I think that's around the time I really started posting more consistently?), and every year I forget or didn't really have the funds to put together a giveaway, or didn't know what I'd do for a post or was too busy and all that, so I've never done a blogoversary post before. And though I'm a little late this year, it's lucky number three, and this year, you get a post!
The thing about blogging is that sometimes it's hard and you fall into slumps or fall behind on posting or there's drama and this and that, but in the end, it is FUN. I don't know how I do as a blogger or as a blog, but I think there's only one qualification a blogger really needs: the love of books. And there are some utterly fantastic things that have come from blogging. Like the BOOKS. I would not have five-and-a-half shelves overflowing with books if I wasn't blogging, and I wouldn't have read or known the existence of so many wonderful books either. And let's not forget the PEOPLE, all the friends I have made in this little nook in the bookish world. I won't name names, because I know I'll forget someone and I hate to have someone feel left out, but I'm pretty sure some of you wonderful people know who you are.
Part of the reason I'm late posting this is because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do for a giveaway. I thought I might repeat my birthday giveaway, or go for a Beauty and the Beast theme, but in the end, I've opted for something curated. Because while a blogoversary may seem to be about ME and the blog and three years of blogging, it's really about YOU, because without YOU, this blog wouldn't exist and it would be nothing more than a speck lost in the neverending inter-webs.
So this giveaway is specifically for YOU. One winner (please follow the rules very, very closely that are listed below) will win a box full of goodies specifically curated for them. In other words, I will be stalking the hell out of the winner to see what books they like, fandoms they're a fan of, and so on, and I'll take all of that and buy some things I think they'll like--and maybe a few surprises--and send them off! So I'm kind of like your personal shopper I guess? It's a surprise in a box! But this is about YOU, so the prize will be about YOU, and I hope you'll like it!
Before I get to all the dirty details of the giveaway, I just want to say a few more things. Okay, just one thing. And that's THANK YOU. Thank you for putting up with all my bookish craziness and occasional profanity. Thank you for following my blog these past three years, and I hope you'll follow for three more. Thank you for freaking out about books and all the mean things they do to us with me. Thank you for being our guest. THANK YOU.
And now, the dirty details of the giveaway, aka, I'm going to sound harsh, but if you don't follow all the rules your entries will be disqualified.
-Shipping will be cray cray, so this giveaway is US only, sorry!
-Giveaway begins on July 2 and ends on August 2, but it may take a few weeks for the prizes to arrive because it will take some time to collect everything for the curated box and send them off.
Okay, I think that's it! Enter away, lovelies! And once again: thank you.
Happy Blogoversary! I didn't know about how the blog started (since I am new to all this ) but loved the story of the author event turned blog.
This is SUCH a good idea for a giveaway!
Happy Blogoversary! Awesome blog (Beauty and the Beast is my FAVORITE as well), and awesome giveaway!
Happy Anniversary! Here's to many more years of happy blogging!
Happy blogoversary!! Thank you for such an awesome giveaway!
Happy blogoversary! Three years is huge! I started mine a little over three years ago, but then I let it go and didn't get back to it until about 8 months ago, so I'll have to make up a date too.
Happy blogoversary! This is such an awesome and unique giveaway! Thank you!!
Happy Blogoversary :) Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome prize!
This giveaway is amazing! I love the idea of it and you are so kind to do it! Thank you!

And so to the dreaded third-place play-off, the one game in sport that no side ever wants to find themselves in. The desolation one feels after a semi-final defeat is difficult enough to cope with without then having to feign interest in a fixture of little significance and of even less interest to the general public.
The noises coming out of the Australian and Welsh camp ahead of Friday's clash in Auckland have all been very positive. The Wallabies claim that they are keen to finish their campaign on a high and give their supporters something to cheer about after Sunday's demoralising defeat by bitter rivals New Zealand. Wales, meanwhile, are talking excitedly about equalling their best-ever finish at a World Cup, which, coincidentally was achieved with a victory over the Wallabies the last time teh tournament was staged in New Zealand, in 1987.
However, they are fooling nobody. Both sides would rather be on their way home at this stage to seek the warm, consoling embrace of their loved ones.
Certainly, the last thing that they Wallabies need is another game. Their campaign has been blighted by injury and head coach Robbie Deans wasted little time in confirming that he will make wholesale changes to the side which started against the All Blacks. His first-teamers have already suffered enough, both physically and mentally.
Wales might be slightly more up for the game on account of their perceived unfair treatment at the hands of referee Alain Rolland in last weekend's agonising defeat by France. Warren Gatland's troops could well be determined to win this one for their skipper, Sam Warburton, who was shown a straight red card just 18 minutes into their loss to Les Bleus for a tip tackle on Vincent Clerc.
However, the Welsh, just like the Wallabies, know full well that clinching third place will do little to ease pain of their semi-final heartbreak. Only time will help in that regard.
Australia - Player to Watch: While some of his team-mates have failed to live up to their star rating, David Pocock has been sensational since returning from an early injury in the tournament. The flanker ended the Springboks' hopes and then fought a lone battle against the All Blacks back-row in the semi-final - still managing to steal a number of turnovers. With Sam Warburton suspended Pocock could well rule the breakdown.
Australia - Team News: Nathan Sharpe will make his 100th appearance for the Wallabies after being recalled to the starting line-up. He replaces the injured Dan Vickerman. James Slipper, Tatafau Polota-Nau and Salesi Ma'afu form an all new front row in place of Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore and Ben Alexander. Ben McCalmanand Scott Higginbotham come into the back-row ahead of Radike Samo and Rocky Elsom. Kurtley Beale returns at fullback with Adam Ashley-Cooper moving into the midfield in place of Anthony Faingaa and Berrick Barnes replaces Pat McCabe at inside centre.
Wales - Player to Watch: While Wales' World Cup campaign has been largely fuelled by a fearless band of youngsters, veteran Shane Williams has more than kept pace with his team-mates. Friday's match could be the final time he dons the red of Wales and Welsh fans will be desperate to see a final fling of magic from the wizardry winger.
Key Battle: Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips has hit top form as the tournament has progressed, epitomised by terrific individual tries against Ireland and France in the quarter and semi finals. While he's had the privilege of playing behind a Welsh pack posed, Will Genia has battled away behind a retreating Wallabies eight. However, if Phillips and the Welsh back-row fail to close down the Wallabies scrum-half, Genia is more than capable of deciding the game in Australia's favour.
"I think it's a good thing that we're playing so soon because you can sit and dwell on these things now. But the fact that in four days' time we get the chance to pull on the jersey and finish this tournament off on a positive note is the thing that's going to drive us."
"Obviously, I am very disappointed. But all my attention and focus now goes towards the players playing on Friday and supporting them the best I can."
Prediction: It's pretty difficult to call. It really come down to who wants it more and perhaps the Welsh will be that bit more motivated. Consequently, we're expecting history to repeat itself and Wales to pip the Wallabies to third place just as they did 24 years ago. | 2019-04-22T16:07:14 | http://en.espn.co.uk/2011-rugby-world-cup/rugby/story/152541.html |

The Port Authority Bus Terminal’s decision to award a design contract based on a new location: 38th to 40th St./Ninth Ave to 11 Avenue, has recently drawn stiff opposition from local Hell’s Kitchen residents and community leaders. Although the PABT has theoretically agreed to $10 Billion for the new terminal, it may be a pipe dream, if local officials succeed in halting this important improvement to the InterCity bus and Commuter bus infrastructure of New York City.
With the projected opening of the new Springfield Union Station Transporation Hub in January 2017, Peter Pan managers and the Springfield Redevelopment Authority are in discussions about a lease agreement of gates and ticket counter space in the Intermodal Transporation Center.

The Senate next passed a decree, providing alike for punishment and safety. If a master were murdered by his slaves, all those who were enfranchised by his will and lived under the same roof, were to suffer the capital punishment with his other slaves. Lucius Varius, an ex-consul, who had been crushed in the past under charges of extortion, was restored to his rank as a senator. Pomponia Graecina, a distinguished lady, wife of the Plautius who returned from Britain with an ovation, was accused of some foreign superstition and handed over to her husband's judicial decision. Following ancient precedent, he heard his wife's cause in the presence of kinsfolk, involving, as it did, her legal status and character, and he reported that she was innocent. This Pomponia lived a long life of unbroken melancholy. After the murder of Julia, Drusus's daughter, by Messalina's treachery, for forty years she wore only the attire of a mourner, with a heart ever sorrowful. For this, during Claudius's reign, she escaped unpunished, and it was afterwards counted a glory to her. | 2019-04-18T10:28:35 | http://romansonline.com/Src_Frame.asp?DocID=Ann_BK13_32 |
Those with long memories, or keen minds, will realise that the Laser II design is 40 years old this year - how time flies!
Sadly the design has been eclipsed in many areas, although still remaining capable of providing cheap thrills on the water. Nevertheless, we have to face up to the fact that there is no national, or international, competitive competitor nucleus, which leaves the problem of what to do with the class association. I'm happy to keep an eye on the website for a while longer, as there is some useful info buried there, but perhaps we should be thinking about the time to say 'so long, and thanks for all the fish'? | 2019-04-26T14:07:54 | https://www.laser2sailing.org.uk/node/60 |
The District maintains an annual testing program comprised of nationally normed, standardized tests, criterion-referenced tests, and district-developed assessments.
1. Basic proficiency in reading/language arts and mathematics is assessed in grades K-12, using both standardized tests and district-developed assessments.
2. Annually, students in grades 2-11 take the STAR California Standards Tests, which assesses proficiency in reading/language arts and mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8 and 10 take a science test. Students in grade 8 take a history/social science test. Students in grades 7-11 take end-of-year mathematics tests.
to identify new students who are English learners, in kindergarten through grade 12.
4. Physical Fitness is assessed in grades 5,7, and 9 each school year in accordance with State mandates.
5. The Academic Performance Index (API) measures performance and progress of a school. It is numeric index or scale that ranges from a low of 200 to a high of 1000. The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Schools that fall short of the target will be required to meet annual growth targets until their goal is achieved. Schools that already meet or exceed the 800 API should continue working to improve the academic performance all students. Results of the norm-referenced test and California Standards Test, and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) in the spring as part of the state's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, are used to calculate a school's API.
6. Seniors in the class of 2006 were the first California public school students who must pass a High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. State law authorized this new graduation requirement in 1999 (Senate Bill 2, Statutes of 1999). The purpose of the CAHSEE is to help improve student achievement in high school and make sure that graduates meet identified state content standards in reading, writing and mathematics. | 2019-04-26T04:50:49 | http://www.orlandusd.net/Schools/Testing-Services/index.html |

General Count Fyodor Keller had assumed command of the Russian Eastern Force from General Zasulich after the Battle of Yalu River. His force of 25,000 men held Motien Pass, in the middle of Liaodong Peninsula, on the main road between Antung (modern Dandong, China) and Liaoyang. Keller, a loyal friend of General Aleksey Kuropatkin and a student of General Mikhail Skobelev, observed that the Japanese strategy was similar to that of the First Sino-Japanese War (i.e. that the three Japanese armies would converge on Haicheng, as they had 10 years previously). Kuropatin agreed, and in an effort to fortify his position at Haicheng, he began a series of complex and confusing troop movements as he endeavored to plug real or imaginary gaps in his defensive line. Keller, already weakened by the loss of men at the Battle of Te-li-Ssu, was further forced to give up two more regiments to Kuropatin's defenses at Haicheng.
The Japanese 1st Army, under command of General Kuroki Tamemoto, paused at Fenghaungshang (modern Fengheng, Liaoning Province, China) from 2–8 July to await supplies and reinforcements. Kuroki decided to attack on 9 July, which was, by coincidence, the same day that General Keller received orders from General Kuropatkin depriving him of yet another regiment to support the defenses of Haicheng.
Guarding the strategic Motien Pass, the Russians had three infantry regiments, three artillery batteries and a Cossack regiment. To the west was the reserve infantry regiment supported by a Cossack brigade. During the night of 8–9 July, a Japanese force moved along an unguarded path to the rear of the Russian right flank. This force was supported by Maxim machine guns and mountain artillery. Another group, clad in Japanese straw sandals to mask their movements, moved around the Russian left flank undetected.
The battle began at 05:15 on 10 July with a direct Japanese frontal attack. This attack faltered by 07:00 due to strong artillery fire from the Russian positions; however, by 08:00, the Russians found themselves all but encircled by the Japanese flanking attack. By 10:00, the Russians were in full retreat towards Hsimucheng (modern Ximu, Liaodong Province, China).
The Japanese moved in to occupy Motien Pass on 13 July. Casualties on both sides were relatively light, and later commentators have speculated extensively on why General Keller (otherwise known to be competent) abandoned such a strategic and easily defendable location with so little resistance. Keller, who perished due to shrapnel wounds from Japanese artillery in an ill-fated counterattack to retake Motien Pass, left no notes. | 2019-04-24T01:20:17 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Motien_Pass |
Ruben was raised in Mexico City and Puebla, Mexico, and learned his love of cooking and baking from his aunt, who taught him how to knead dough by hand in a hollow tree trunk. At age 17, Ruben left Mexico for the United States, landing in California and eventually joined his older brother Hugo in Texas. A 1991 graduate of the Culinary Arts Program at Houston Community College, Ruben won first-place honors in 1993 at the Texas Culinary Federation’s statewide contest. He spent two-and-a-half years with chef/restaurateur Michael Cordúa and his award-winning Américas and Churrascos restaurants as pastry cook before becoming a pastry chef at Aries restaurant. He was named Pastry Chef of the Year at the 2003 Houston Culinary Awards, and has worked with brother Hugo and sister-in-law Tracy on two cookbooks: Hugo Ortega’s Street Food of Mexico (2012) and Backstreet Kitchen: Seasonal Recipes from Our Neighborhood Cafe (2013). | 2019-04-26T06:53:34 | https://www.htownrestaurantgroup.com/team-member/ruben-ortega/ |
The RNLI established a lifeboat station in Ballycotton in 1858. There is a long history of life saving at Ballycotton. The first to be acknowledged by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck was when they awarded a silver medal in 1826. On 21 December 1825, the vessel Britannia was wrecked in Ballycotton Bay. Her Master, the only survivor, lashed himself to a rock. There he remained for seven hours. In spite of the danger, a local man, Dennis Crowen rowed out and rescued him and then sheltered him in his cottage for four days.
There were many early rescues by coastguards. For example, on 13 December 1850, in a violent storm, the Mountaineer was being driven onto rocks at Dunmanus Point. The coastguards rowed out to assist, and got on board. Then their boat was smashed on the rocks. Fortunately the Mountaineer was carrying a cargo of timber and although damaged, remained afloat. Using their local knowledge, the coastguards were able to steer the Mountaineer to mud flats and beach her. The rescue of the 28 crew of the Mountaineer resulted in the award of one gold and five silver Lifesaving Medals to Lieutenant Goss and the men of Dunmanus Coastguard Station.
The current lifeboat Austin Lidbury and the new lifeboat station.
The need for a purpose-built lifeboat was evident. The boat was delivered in time for the visit of Prince of Wales Albert Edward in 1858. The lifeboats prior to the Mary Stanford were all powered by oars and sail. As ships became larger the need for a motorized craft was realised. On 12 December 1928, the RMS Celtic was wrecked at Roche’s Point, Cobh. She was the largest ship in her day, one of the “Big Four”, the first to exceed 20,000 tons, dwarfing the Ballycotton Lifeboat, which came to the rescue. The Mary Stanford was named on 7 July 1930 by the First Lady, wife of President Cosgrave. The cost, £11,000, was donated by Mr. J.F. Stanford, of London. There was a previous lifeboat, named “Mary Stanford”. Two years earlier, it had capsized with the loss of all 17 crew in Rye Harbour, England. The new Mary Stanford would be more fortunate. She would save many lives, including the famous rescue of the Daunt Lightship. Not only would her entire crew receive gallantry awards, she would be the only boat, in lifeboat history, for a boat to be awarded.
Daunt rock has always been a hazard to shipping. The first lightship was stationed there by the Irish Lights Board in 1864 following the wreck of the City of New York on the rock. Lightvessel Puffin took up this duty. There was a severe gale on 8 October 1896 and the Puffin vanished. The wreck was not found until 5 November 1896, a month later. The remains of the crew were never located. In folklore they remain at their post, as a “Ghost ship”, appearing to warn of impending danger.
On 7 February 1936 a south-eastern gale, with rain and snow, developed into a hurricane. Mountainous waves were crashing over the pier and breakwater transforming the harbour into a seething cauldron, the spray was flying over the lantern of the 196ft high lighthouse11]; “stones, some a ton in weight, were being torn from the quay and flung about like sugar lumps”. At 8am next morning an SOS was received: the LV Comet, on station at Daunt rock, had broken from her moorings and was drifting dangerously. Without waiting for orders, in horrendous conditions, Coxswain Patrick (“Patsy”) Sliney took Mary Stanford to sea. Comet was not at Daunt rock, she was riding at anchor a quarter mile away. Other ships arrived, but dare not approach the Comet in such conditions. Lightships, are not ‘lightweight’, they are heavy: built for endurance. The Comet was being tossed around by the waves, were it to hit another ship, that ship would suffer serious damage.
Mary Stanford made several attempts to get a steel cable aboard the Comet. Every time they did, a terrible wave crashed the ships further apart and the cable snapped. When darkness fell, Mary Stanford headed for Cobh to get stronger cables. The Innisfallen and a Destroyer tender stood by. The Lifeboat crew had been, all day, without food. They ate, slept for three hours and received a change of clothing. Early next morning (Wednesday) Mary Stanford returned to Daunt rock. The sea was just as stormy. It was now enveloped by a thick fog. It was impossible to effect a rescue. The lifeboat remained in the storm all day and all night. The Commissioners of Irish Lights vessel ILV Isolda had arrived and stood by while Mary Stanford went to Cobh at 7am to refuel, and promptly returned.
Postage stamp commerating 150 years of RNLI.
They then went to Cobh and disembarked the rescued at 11pm and then returned to Ballycotton. Mary Stanford had been away for 79 hours. The crew had only three hours sleep during the 63 hour rescue (from leaving Ballycotton to disembarking Comet‘s crew at Cobh), they were all suffering from colds, saltwater burns and hunger.
A Gold Medal was awarded to Coxswain Patrick Sliney, Silver Medals to Second Coxswain John Lane Walsh and Motor Mechanic Thomas Sliney, and Bronze Medals to Crew Members Michael Coffey Walsh, John Shea Sliney, William Sliney and Thomas Walsh. Even the boat Mary Stanford received an award – the only time this has happened in lifeboat history. This rescue became legend. It was depicted by marine artists. It featured in popular books. When a postage stamp was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the RNLI, this rescue was chosen. The design of the stamp was based on the painting by Bernard Gribble, which depicts the last two lightshipmen being pulled on to the lifeboat.
Mary Stanford served as the pilot lauch in Limerick port. She now lies in a backwater of Grand Canal Dock. Beside her is the Naomh Éanna, which served the Aran Islands.

Due to it being Mother’s Day yesterday and International Women’s Day last week, I am feeling like celebrating all the strong and brave women right now. So I thought it only fitting that I share some of my favourite travelling, blogging and Instagramming mamas with you.
Mamahood isn’t always easy and travelling with a little one (or little ones in some cases) can be stressful but these ladies prove that it is possible. They all fill me with so much inspiration and wanderlust and they make me want to jet off with Evie on a new adventure every single day.
I’ve always been a bit unsure about cruises. Having been on a few over the years, from luxury Caribbean cruises to mini cruises around the Mediterranean, I absolutely love that you get to explore so many different places in the space of just a few days. Sitting on a different glorious white sandy beach every day? Yes please!
But on the other hand having only a day, or half a day really by the time you’ve got on and off the boat, isn’t really long enough to properly explore somewhere in depth. When I travel I like to do things off the beaten track, meet the locals and get lost trying to find the best eatery, but you just can’t do that on a cruise.
For a taster of a few different cities or beaches it is perfect though so we decided to give it a go with Evie. Our week’s cruise visited several places in Southern Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal and Morocco and I never would have guessed how seriously brilliant a cruise is with a baby. So here are just a few reasons why we loved cruising with Evie so much and, if you’re a bit unsure yourself, why I think a cruise with a baby is the most perfect holiday.
A new year calls for a new travel wish list because what is the start of year but a chance to daydream and think up some awesome travel goals!
Looking back on my wish list from last year I was so happy to see that, apart from one place, we actually visited everywhere I had hoped to in 2017 – plus more! Becoming a mother made it a wonderful rollercoaster of a year (a rollercoaster that included an awful lot of coffee) but we still managed to have some amazing adventures and Evie became the perfect little explorer.
We visited 6 different countries across two continents; went on planes, trains, boats and road trips; sunk our toes in the sand and dipped them in the sea; swung in hammocks and played in the snow; climbed mountains and visited one of the biggest mosques in the world; wandered through small local villages and explored big twinkling cities. I’m not sure 2018 can top last year but we’re going to give it one hell of a try!
Being Evie’s first Christmas we had an actual valid reason to go this year. She adores the twinkling Christmas lights, her whole face lights up when she hears the singing of Christmas carols and I knew it would make our first Christmas with her even more magical. This trip wasn’t for me in the slightest. In fact I didn’t even want to go at all. It’s all totally for her. Yup.
Apart from the wonderful feeling of becoming a mama to my gorgeous girl, one of the things I’ve loved most about parenthood so far is that I’ve been able to combine my biggest passions in life…travel and Evie. So many people told us our travels would be over when we announced that I was pregnant and I told them hell to the no. And I am so glad we carried on booking trips and going away as much as we did pre-baby.
You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quiet on the blog and social media front lately which is very unlike me. Usually, as soon as I wake up in the morning I’m thinking about what dreamy photo I can share on Instagram or where my next blog post will take my readers to. I’m constantly editing photos, replying to comments, reading other blogs and getting plenty of inspiration from other people’s travels. But lately there has been something else that has been keeping me occupied which is the reason for my quietness and lack of sharing.
Constant tiredness, nausea, backache, searching through hundreds of different types of cots and prams, and simply planning for the future now seem to take up my every waking second. Yep, that’s right, we’ve got a little mini adventurer on the way who will be joining us in March 2017! | 2019-04-19T08:34:25 | https://mrsaylasadventures.com/tag/family-travel/page/2/ |

Goals by Almoez ALI, A Aziz and Akram Arif helped Qatar clinch their maiden Asian Cup title as they defeated Japan 3-1 in the summit clash at Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
Almoez ALI opened the scoring for Qatar in the 12th minute of the match, when his overhead kick landed in the bottom corner of the goalpost. After scoring the opening goal, the Maroons started dominating as they doubled their lead inside the first 30 minutes of the match.
However, Japan tried to fight back in the second half as they created a lot of chances. The Samurai Blues hit back in the 69th minute of the match as Minamino wriggled his way through the Qatar defence and scooped it over the keeper.
However, Japan were once again pushed to backfoot, when skipper Yoshida conceded a penalty with a little over five minutes remaining in the match. Akram Arif blasted the ball from the spot-kick to help Qatar restore their two-goal lead. With this win, Qatar became the ninth nation to win the Asian Cup title. | 2019-04-21T20:09:00 | http://lekkiesmedia.com/2019/02/01/qatar-stun-japan-to-win-first-continental-crown-afc-asian-cup-2019/ |
The week seemed normal until Katie receives news about a childhood friend being accused of murder. After being reached out to by the family, Katie decides to take a deeper look into her friend’s life since leaving Crescent Creek. She quickly finds out that things aren’t as Rosie for her friend and their cafe. However, things get even more bizarre as it takes forever to find out who the mystery dead man was, and none of the clues are adding up.
This was an interesting mystery that was focused on circumstantial evidence that Katie focuses on explaining all the things that are happening. She does face a little more resistance in this book than in previous books. I do get to see her deal with police officers and even the lawyer that her friend’s family was working with. We are so used to seeing Katie get her way with the local police that it was a little more interesting seeing the pushback.
We also got to learn a little more about Katie’s high school years. Since she gets to talk with Holly about the past for a little bit at the end of the book. Katie and Harper also talk slightly about their relationship back in high school and how it wasn’t as close as a reader would imagine.
It was a very interesting read and I’m still enjoying the series.
I don’t tend to read these books much, but as you can see by the cover it is a racy women’s book. Now the reason I picked it up is because the concept was interesting, but I was sadly disappointed in the flow of the book.
Sara Temple is one of the Queen of Magic’s royal guards. After an explosion that claimed the life of the Queen’s unborn child, Sara takes the Queen to the human world to protect her. While working one day, a batch of rogue vampires come in with orders to kill Sara’s boss. While protecting them, she meets Aaron MacManus the vampire lord. He takes her in after the altercation to heal her wounds. Meanwhile, Aaron figures out that Sara is his mate and now he has to break that news to her.
I loved the concept of this book. I enjoyed the characters and all their flaws. I even like the plot structure and the direction that the story was going. I, however, couldn’t get over was the gaps, the odd pacing and the swings in the characters’ personality. The lack of consistency ground on my nerves a tad. These are all things that should have been caught in editing but I checked out that this book was published before the publishing house was opened, I doubt that a certified editor read this book. I do like the characters enough to try and read the next book in the series that was released after the publishing house. My hopes are high that the consistency will be there. This is such a good concept that I want this series to be good so bad.
And we’re back, and sadly getting really close to the end of the series that are currently published. This makes me sad, but I’m going to work on getting another book series to read.
We start off this book, right after we left the other book. Charley is pregnant and freaking out about it, her father is missing and she’s brought into a cold case by the FBI. What’s more is that 12 Hellhounds are on her tail. Reyes is trying to get her to take a break, though she’s not hearing it. Could they be any more screwed?
This is a series that just gets better and better as it goes. In this book, they are officially engaged and it hasn’t lessened the story as of yet. Mind you, most of the story line comes from outside of their relationship. Since I love this series though I’m still terrified that the series will fall flat hen they get married. The overarching plot is becoming more intense and the plot thickens and the world is gaining depth. For people who like long series, we all know that some series start to fizzle but this one is still staying strong. | 2019-04-26T14:48:20 | https://dawnslife.net/tag/body/ |
For the American football coach, see Paul Samson (football coach). For the American swimmer and water polo player, see Paul Samson (water polo).
Paul Samson (4 June 1953 – 9 August 2002) was an English guitarist, closely associated with the new wave of British heavy metal.
Born Paul Sanson, his first band in 1968 was a local Kent based group called 'The Innocence' which consisted of him, Stewart Cochrane, Phil Stranders and the late Martin Kirrage. After a period in several obscure bands, Samson formed his own eponymous outfit, Samson, in 1977, consisting of Chris Aylmer on bass guitar, and Clive Burr on drums. Burr left, and eventually joined Iron Maiden, and was replaced by Thunderstick, who wore a gimp mask on stage. In 1979, the line-up was expanded to a four-piece, with the addition of Bruce Dickinson on vocals (with the stage name "Bruce Bruce").
The band enjoyed a cult following in the new wave of British heavy metal, releasing the albums, Survivors, Head On and Shock Tactics, until 1981 when both Thunderstick and Dickinson left, the latter to join Iron Maiden.
Nicky Moore was recruited as a replacement, and Mel Gaynor then Pete Jupp took over drums, and this line-up released Before the Storm and Don't Get Mad - Get Even. These two albums sold in higher quantities than the first three, and the band toured more countries and played to bigger audiences than the Bruce/Thunderstick line-up, although the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was by now said to be a spent force. The band formally split up in 1984.
Samson spent the subsequent years in a variety of solo and group projects, including various temporary reformations of Samson, and had success as a record producer, and also as a blues player, spending a year in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Despite some listings crediting Samson for playing on the Ram Jam 1977 hit single, "Black Betty", he did not play on the record.
Stewart Cochrane ( musician and close friend to Paul since their early band days of the late 60s, their first band at 15 years old "The Innocence" and short time member of the band "Samson") was told by Paul in 1978 that he played on the demo of the hit record "Black Betty", and was paid a paltry £20 for the session. Paul was very peeved about the payment, as he insisted to Cochrane that it was his guitar playing from the demo recording used in the final "Black Betty" pressing and that he was missing out on a large amount of royalty payments. Cochrane can only confirm what Sanson informed him of the alleged switch.
Samson died of cancer on 9 August 2002 in Norwich, whilst recording a new Samson album with Nicky Moore.

Our Mum In Translation blogger brings us the next review of the Rollers R2.
I was recently sent the Roller R2 to review for my son who is 2 1/2 years old. He has already tried a mini scooter and balance bike so we were excited to try something different.
On receiving the big box with the photo on the front my son was hugely excited and jumped around the kitchen whilst I opened the box up. He wanted to start using it immediately but the Roller requires a small amount of assembly. The product came in 3 main parts plus some small screws and clamps, which should be a 5 minute job but I would have liked simpler instructions to help speed things up as my son was anxiously waiting to use the scooter. That said however, the parts are very lightweight but strong so it is easily a job for one person and all the tools are included which is great.
Once it was assembled we first tried the R2 without the seat – as the Inline Scooter. It was good in that the wheels were big and strong and the footplate is nice and wide. He could understand the concept of scooting but his balance is not quite advanced enough to successfully scoot on 2 wheels yet, so we put the seat on to make the Balance Bike, which was a simple case of clicking it into the frame. He was really excited when he saw this and immediately sat down steering the bike around whilst using his feet to move.
He found it very comfortable and easy and we made a successful trip to the shops and back with him happily rolling along. It felt safe to watch him on the Roller as it is low to the ground and cannot go too fast as his feet stopped him – perfect for his age group and now his ‘transport of choice’.
The best thing about the Roller as a parent is the weight – it’s easy to take places and sling on to the back of the pram. It is also quick to set up (subject to simpler instructions) and will last for a good few years once he grows and can use the scooter without the seat and raise the handlebars.
The Rollers R2 is now available to buy in pink or blue at Argos.

Isn’t our planet amazing? Sometimes we forget how truly lucky we are to be living on such a wonderful planet. A planet that provides us with a plethora of unique, delicious and healthy fruits and vegetables to help sustain us.
You’d think with how clever Mother Nature is that she would have thought to put some sort of protective layer over those fruits and vegetables… but I guess we can’t get everything exactly perfect can we?!
How great would it have been if fruits and vegetables such as bananas, apples, kiwi fruits, oranges, carrots and potatoes were all created with some sort of protective skin on them to protect their soft insides? If they did have these amazing protective skins on them, then certain supermarkets probably wouldn’t feel the need to protect those fruits and veggies in plastic that’s never guaranteed to ever naturally break down.
Ohh… hang on… what’s that? A banana actually has a protective layer on it you have to peel off before you eat it? And, whoa?! That protective layer keeps it fresh?! No way!!
Wait, what? MOST fruits and vegetables have a natural protective layer on them we just have to remove before we consume them? MIND BLOWN!
If that’s true though, what possible reason could supermarkets have for justifying wrapping fruit and vegetables in soft plastics?
The average Australian household produces 1.5 tonnes of waste each year, and as much as it’s great to recycle your waste properly it’s even more important to stop unnecessary plastic being used in the first place.
To help send a message to the supermarkets about this pointless plastic put on our fruits and vegetables, One Million Women have started a hashtag movement #LEAVEITONTHESHELF.
They are encouraging Australian’s to leave the plastic wrapped groceries on the shelf and take the pledge to only purchase fresh fruits and vegetables that aren’t in nasty plastic packaging. This will send a message loud and clear to the supermarkets that consumers don’t want their fruit and veggies wrapped in plastic.
What type of waste can be recycled? | 2019-04-20T18:55:18 | https://www.ecobin.com.au/pointless-packaging-must-stop/ |

I even have a brand new love — and it’s now not a person or a residence or a automobile. It’s an edgy Showtime television suburban satire, “Weeds”, in which Mary Louise Parker plays a widowed soccer mom, Nancy Botwin, in a fictional subdivision of Los Angeles known as Agrestic. Nancy struggles with the surprising demise of her husband from a heart assault and agonizes how she’ll support her family in their upper-magnificence way of life. Not having any discernable process abilities, Nancy discovers the beneficial income in being the nearby neighbor pot supplier.
The show is quirky, irreverent, and raunchy. The dysfunctional circle of relatives dynamics are hysterical, specially whilst her unemployed pot-head brother-in-regulation, Andy, arrives on her doorstep. Her interactions and affection for her provider, a black ghetto circle of relatives headed via matriarch Heylia James, and Heylia’s unwed pregnant daughter and ne’er-do-properly son, Conrad, are a stark evaluation to her every day lifestyles in Agrestic. And, the wide social and political statements which are regular undercurrents inside the series are truly just right on the cash.
This show is a huge shift for me — I’m probable the most effective man or woman my age who is in no way achieved any type of drug — so admitting I love a display approximately a pot-dealing suburban mother is ordinary, I admit. What’s most a laugh for me to watch is Nancy’s development as a entrepreneurial businesswoman who’s going to do what it takes to be the most a hit weed supplier in Agrestic. There’s no longer a number of difference between Nancy and me within the quest to build a hit agencies, except that my enterprise is legal, of course, and I don’t must sidestep bullets in pressure-by way of shootings at my provider’s residence.
1. Fish wherein the fish are. Due to her friendship along with her accountant, Doug Wilson (performed via Kevin Nealon), and his institution of friends, Nancy fast realizes that Agrestic is a terrific marketplace for her product. She unearths a super source of pot and is effortlessly capable of promote it, as her upscale goal market is eager to shop for and may without problems have the funds for her prices.
Lesson: Know your goal market. Are they male or girl? What age group? What enterprise? What socio-monetary group? Where do they grasp out on- and off-line? What do they study? To what businesses and associations (real and virtual, private and expert) do they belong? How much money do they make? Can they effortlessly come up with the money for your service or product?
2. It’s all about blessings, not features. Doug discovers a cheap source of scientific marijuana in a medical institution in LA and thinks he is located a gold mine. However, as a way to use the clinic, he has to get a prescription for medical marijuana from a shady health practitioner after which power an hour into the metropolis whenever he desires a top off. Nancy offers him the opportunity to buy the same stuff domestically, with out the pressure, and no prescription wished.
Lesson: People do enterprise with you because you may help them solve a hassle. They care little approximately the way you remedy it (the features of the answer). They simply need you to make the hassle depart so that they have one much less element to worry approximately (the benefits of doing business with you).
Three. Understand the desires of your goal market. Nancy takes a journey to LA to test out the scientific marijuana sanatorium, and discovers a sheer cornucopia of pot, to be had in more varieties than she’d ever imagined. This go to makes her recognize that she’s buying the bottom-of-the-barrel weed and offers her supplier a list of the “appropriate stuff” that her clients actually need. Then, to offer her customers a higher high for his or her greenback (and permit her customers to cover their marijuana use), she begins to bundle the pot in diverse baked items that she makes in her domestic kitchen. One consumer cleans her out of baked goods in a single go to.
Lesson: Give your customers what they want, now not what you watched they need. Many service commercial enterprise proprietors head into the market and don’t have any concept in the event that they provide a services or products that the general public wishes. Or, they offer what they assume is right for a patron in place of what is going to clear up a patron’s pressing hassle. Do your market studies to recognize the wishes and issues of your goal market.
4. The failure of most organizations is due to undercapitalization. Nancy’s personal fees are exceeding her income, and she or he procedures her supplier, Heylia, to give her stock on credit score. Heylia laughs in her face, but after Nancy begs, she’s accepted to hock her leased Land Rover and multi-carat wedding ring with Heylia to get the amount of pot that she desires for the week.
Lesson: Being self-hired is a financial curler-coaster journey. Have economic reserves in area earlier than you start your enterprise so that you can pay your bills till you begin creating a income. And, if you come up short of cash, try negotiation along with your providers or vendors for greater favorable price phrases.
5. Slow and constant wins the enterprise boom race. Nancy turns into heady along with her income success in her suburb and begins to eye different markets so she will be able to make even more money. While at the nearby college campus searching for a train for her son, she realizes the campus is a ready-made marketplace for pot and is to start with very a hit in taking pictures that market. However, what she does not realize is that she is treading on another dealer’s territory (one of the campus security officials), and in a ridicule arrest on campus through this officer, she loses about $15,000 really worth of inventory. When she tells Heylia what came about, Heylia simply laughs and tells Nancy she’s been “jacked” by way of every other supplier, and that is the fee she will pay for seeking to grow too fast.
Lesson: Great fulfillment for your commercial enterprise will make you need to triumph over the world. However, quick growth without right making plans makes many a enterprise proprietor move stomach-up. Plan for the increase of your enterprise, and encompass that growth for your commercial enterprise plans and imaginative and prescient statements in order that it is a herbal evolution of your enterprise.
6. To be successful, you need your circle of relatives’s support. Nancy tries to be an “ethical” pot provider and refuses to promote to kids, or allow every person working for her to promote to youngsters. In the equal vein, she tries to protect her youngsters from the actual nature of her business, not trying to set a bad instance for them (see the irony on this series?). However, secrets and techniques are difficult to hold from young adults. In an act of rebellion, Silas, her 15 year-antique son, tells her he does not must observe her guidelines any longer, throwing in her face that she has no proper to inform him what do to on the grounds that she’s promoting pot. When she tells Andy, her brother-in-law, approximately the state of affairs, Andy tells her that Silas is simply irritated together with her due to the fact she has lied to him approximately how she’s making a living.
Lesson: Deciding to run your own commercial enterprise can be the fastest avenue to divorce or circle of relatives alienation. Keep your family updated on what is going on on your enterprise, mainly in case you run a business this is going to keep you far from them on an ongoing basis. Family regulations, structure, and expectations may also need to shift for awhile, and the greater that you own family may be a part of developing that alternate, the more healthy and happier you all can be.
7. The Lone Ranger did not experience by myself. As Nancy opinions her life lessons in entrepreneurship during Season 1, she realizes that it’s difficult work jogging a business through herself. She invitations her accountant and lawyer (two of her quality customers), her brother-in-regulation, another supplier, and son of her provider to go into enterprise along with her and assist her develop her territory and make it all paintings.
Lesson: You’re remarkable at the core carrier you provide to your clients, but you can’t be suitable at everything, nor should you try to be. Create two lists, one in all what you like to do, and the opposite of what you hate to do. Do what you do pleasant (and love to do) and delegate the rest on your support group. Spend some time greater profitably seeking out opportunities as opposed to losing it on responsibilities that you can lease out plenty greater affordably and successfully than by means of trying to do it all your self.
Business training show up in many shapes, paperwork, and sizes. Tune in to the next season of “Weeds” and notice what is in keep for Nancy as she builds her suburban pot empire. | 2019-04-22T14:35:11 | http://plastservis-nsk.com/7-lessons-in-successful-self-employment-from-weeds/ |
He is a Medal of Honor recipient. However, this small act of kindness caught on video in the middle of combat shows his real nature. Seemingly small and insignificant things like these, are the ones that show the world what makes America the great country we are.
US Army Maj. Will Swenson received the Medal of Honor for his bravery while defending his country. At the time of the Battle of Ganjgal, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, on Sept. 8, 2009, then Capt. Swenson was an Afghan Border Police advisor, in support of 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry). His actions in battle that day earned the nation’s highest award, but small acts like the one caught on video, earned him and, by consequence, his country something even bigger: the enduring love and respect from the rest of the world.

The child also develops the idea of object permanence during this stage, which is the understanding that things continue to exist even though they cannot be seen, heard, smelled, touched, or felt in any other way. While many aspects of the original theory of cognitive development have since been refuted, the objective characteristics associated with cognitive development remain valid. Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Reinforce the development of beginning logical thought. Children tend to think very concretely and specifically in earlier stages, and begin to consider possible outcomes and consequences of actions.
Piaget believed that all children try to strike a balance between assimilation and accommodation, which is achieved through a mechanism Piaget called equilibration. Let's look closer at the preoperational stage and some of the ways that children in that stage think. For example, if you show a child a ball that is mostly blue with a red circle at the top and bottom and ask her what color it is, she might say blue and completely ignore the red color. At any time, operative intelligence frames how the world is understood and it changes if understanding is not successful. The cognitive development that occurs during this period takes place over a relatively short period of time and involves a great deal of growth. Then the child was shown a series of photos of the mountains from different sides of the table.
Preoperational Stage age 2 to 7 Continue to read often and be willing to read favorite stories multiple times. He or she is capable of deductive and hypothetical reasoning. How can caregivers use schemas? However, the application of standardized Piagetian theory and procedures in different societies established widely varying results that lead some to speculate not only that some cultures produce more cognitive development than others but that without specific kinds of cultural experience, but also formal schooling, development might cease at certain level, such as concrete operational level. She's exploring many things in her world. During the preoperational stage of development, a child develops several skills, including the ability to perform simple mental operations, the development of symbolic thought, which can lead to being able to read and write, and a move away from egocentrism.
People in the formal operational stage use deductive reasoning and can engage in logical, methodical problem-solving. For example, suppose you arrange two rows of blocks in such a way that a row of 5 blocks is longer than a row of 7 blocks. It is the phase where the thought and morality of the child is completely self focused. The child is then shown 10 photographs of the mountains taken from different positions, and asked to indicate which showed the dolls view. One of the famous techniques to demonstrate egocentrism involved using a three-dimensional display of a mountain scene. The mountains were different, with snow on top of one, a hut on another and a red cross on top of the other.
However, their thinking is still very limited, and they are unable to understand others' perspectives as well as multiple aspects of a given object or situation. But by the time they were six or seven, they would pick other photos; they understood that the doll wouldn't see things the same way that they would. Additionally, the quality of their symbolic play can have consequences on their later development. Encyclopedia of Psychology and Religion. While children in the preoperational and concrete operational levels of cognitive development perform combined arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction with similar accuracy, children in the concrete operational level of cognitive development have been able to perform both addition problems and subtraction problems with overall greater fluency. Halford; Karen Murphy; Kathy Knox 2009.
It is able to differentiate between itself and other objects. Late adolescent and adult cognitive development pp. Piaget noted that children in this stage do not yet understand concrete logic, cannot mentally manipulate information, and are unable to take the point of view of other people, which he termed egocentrism. This stage is associated primarily with the discovery of new means to meet goals. For example, if their moving toy is not working, they may believe that it's tired and hence resting. Being a developmental psychologist, he essentially studied how the intellectual development in children takes place and how they transform from children to adults.
She contributes to eHow in the areas of parenting, child development, language and social skill development and the importance of play. He proposed that operative intelligence is responsible for the representation and manipulation of the dynamic or transformational aspects of reality, and that figurative intelligence is responsible for the representation of the static aspects of reality. At this stage, kids learn through pretend play but still struggle with logic and taking the point of view of other people. Piaget's water-level tasks: Performance across the lifespan with emphasis on the elderly. Children are then asked which cup holds the most liquid. Includes discussion questions and insights on how the theory impacts teaching young children today. Object permanence Preoperational 2 to 7 years old Development of language, memory, and imagination.
The origins of intelligence in children. Aisha is displaying many of the hallmarks of early childhood, which lasts from age two to age six or seven. These cognitive skills form the baseline for reading with comprehension to develop. The foundations of language development may have been laid during the previous stage, but it is the emergence of language that is one of the major hallmarks of the preoperational stage of development. The ability to systematically solve a problem in a logical and methodical way emerges. | 2019-04-23T12:01:52 | http://bestbetasia.com/piaget-theory-preoperational-stage.html |
This is a rant dedicated to all the people who are missing the main focus of the primary photographic tool.
This is a rant dedicated to all the people, especially photographers, who are using analog cameras as props, as vintage decorations, and not giving them the respect they deserve.
This is a rant directed at all the people who worry about having the latest and greatest camera gear, even when the history of photography has shown us that the camera is just a tool a photographer uses to capture meaningful work.
If you’re passionate about photography, it’s highly likely that at some point you’d have been curious to know how images were captured before digital sensors existed.
The beautiful thing about analog gear, no matter how old it is, is that light is captured using the same physical principles. So it really doesn’t matter what camera you stumble onto – you just need to know the mechanics of the tool to achieve the desired result.
The main focus of every photographic tool is, and always will be, to reproduce reality through images that depend on exposure calculations that exceed the capabilities of the human eye.
Therefore, it's pointless to think that meaningful work depends on having the latest and greatest gear out there. Use whatever you have when stumbling into those moments.
My experience with analog photography came after the onset of digital, so I did things the other way around. My everyday camera is still a digital one.
But analog gear has given me extremely joyful experiences thanks to its therapeutic, slow-paced way of producing a tangible image. After watching a movie, I got pretty interested in how pictures were made before photographers couldn’t see anything on an LCD screen.
I researched a bit and was given a camera that was wrecked – with one condition: to get it repaired. I asked a few questions and got to meet a camera restorer in my country.
After the camera’s resurrection, I started snapping some black-and-white film using the same exposure logic I’d learned with digital. The results were decent – but my craving didn’t stop there. I learned to develop film. Nowadays my scope reaches print, and I love it.
This rant was born thanks to the many pictures of photographers using analog cameras as props, when they could also be enjoying the brilliance of analog photography.
I’ve never stopped feeling a sense of magic when I develop a film.
Especially when I get my roll of film out of the developing tank and start seeing those images with my eyes. I enjoy it so much that I taught my friends how to develop film, for free, some had never seen the process with their own eyes.
My prime goal is not to be a purist. My main objective is to invite you guys who are using analog cameras as props for your portraits and related stuff to actually use one of those beautiful cameras to make pictures.
It’s fascinating to see how people can transform almost anything into a camera. People like Carlos Jurado take the premise of “every exposure setting will work on any camera” to the next level by transforming almost any object into a camera.
It’s interesting to learn how the famous images we most admire were made using less-capable technological tools. It’s still easy to get a secondhand analog camera on eBay or some local shop.
I'm not advising you to migrate from one format to another – I'm just saying that different formats can coexist in a photographer's life, and the results can be rewarding in terms of creativity, self-expression and self-imposed challenges.
Some great examples of people making fine artwork with analog gear (there are a lot, but for illustration purposes, I'm just mentioning three) are Chema Madoz, Alexey Titarenko and Michael Kenna.
Chema Madoz: Surrealism is not some weird abstraction for me. For me, surrealism exists when an artist gets to see mind-blowing juxtapositions or personifications that seem so obvious, but never cross our minds. Chema Madoz is one of those artists, and his favorite tool for creating his art is a second-hand Hasselblad medium-format camera he bought back in the ‘nineties.
Alexey Titarenko: Alexey Titarenko is another photographer who uses a Hasselblad film camera, as you can see in this But the scope of his passion covers everything from the shot to the last print.
Michael Kenna: Everything has probably been said about this magnificent contemporary photographer, but what he has to say about photography and about all the beautiful things surrounding it is priceless. We tend to forget about connecting with other cultures, and I’m sure this guy enjoy his travelling more because he doesn’t have to worry about carrying several camera bodies and lenses. A minimal setup is key to enjoying photography.
So, if you have access to analog gear, don’t limit its existence to prop usage. Give it a new opportunity to play a role in your creative life. If it works by itself, good. If it needs a little love, get it repaired.
These bad boys were made with such enviable quality mindsets that they could last forever after some minor restoring maneuvers! | 2019-04-22T23:03:22 | https://www.lightstalking.com/using-analog-cameras/ |
GRT’s pioneering products for soil and pavement stabilisation, dust and erosion control, and site water management solutions make civil and land development construction faster, greener and leaner.
Stabilisation and sealing solutions form the basis of these approaches. GRT has developed, designed, constructed and maintained public and private assets using our unique polymer and polymer enhanced products.
Stabilisation can be used to improve natural materials, to upgrade existing roads, or improve the strength of newly quarried materials. GRT’s products (both polymer and non-polymer innovations) deliver exceptionally strong pavements – that still retain flexibility. This combination of bearing strength, great tensile resilience, and impermeability improves material characteristics providing a cost effective alternative to traditional bound pavements such as asphalt and concrete.
Sealing with GRT polymer technologies provides and alternative to traditional sealing products such as bitumen (roads) or plastic lining (dams). These products are typically not environmentally sustainable, contain hazardous compounds and are not very tolerant to poor underlying materials. GRT’s road and water storage sealing products are complex and unique polymer compounds that are robust and able to be applied across a much wider range of natural and man-made materials.
The dynamic and risky aspect of the construction and development process pose many management problems. GRT has a range of products designed to give project and environmental managers the right tools to manage their sites efficiently and effectively.
GRT:7000 – polymer seal your access roads or side tracks for all weather dust free access.
GRT:5000 – short term dust control for cross-overs and shoulders.
GRT: Wet-Loc – long term, once off dust control for roads, hardstands, storage areas, and machinery yards.
GRT: Enviro-Binder – industry best, sprayed on erosion control.
GRT: Sediment Control Range – clarify water safely in your sediment ponds.
GRT: Haul-Loc – cost effective, ultra concentrate additive for water trucks – saves resources, fuel, water and actually makes water work!
GRT: Broad-scale Products – GRT: Soil-Loc and GRT: Rubble Loc for broad-scale, cost effective dust control for lard open areas, or site with potentially hazardous demolition rubble.
Let GRT provide you with the best tools for your current or next construction project.
On site windborne dust is an environmental as well as health and safety hazard that can easily spread to surrounding land users, invariably leading to public complaints.
Erosion control on large sites, is an important environmental consideration, but can be very expensive, particularly when sediment basins are required, or techniques such as progressive clearing are used which are less efficient than clearing entire sites.
Polymer dust control and erosion control is a cheap and easily applied sprayed management technique to manage broad-scale cleared areas, exposed surfaces, stockpiles, batter slopes, and drainage paths. Formulated in the GRT laboratory, our environmentally-safe polymer products limit construction site dust, erosion, storm water runoff and the adverse effects it can have on human, plant, water and environmental health. GRT’s innovative polymer solutions bind soil particles together into a durable, continuous surface layer, resistant to wind and water erosion.
GRT’s proven liquid tarping solutions help control fugitive dust both in transit and at the stockpile.
Binding particles together, GRT’s polymer solutions apply a liquid veneer to loose materials, mitigating airborne dust by up to 95%.
Designed specifically for the conditions of the construction sector, the solution can be applied directly to raw materials, without impacting on the quality of the materials themselves. For example the product does not alter the burning properties of coal and can cost as little as 4.5 cents per tonne – a small price to pay to keep staff and the environment safe. | 2019-04-23T02:07:01 | https://globalroadtechnology.com/applications/construction/ |
For the most part, the students chose practical, nutritious plants like soy beans and kale in addition to potatoes. Some added herbs like basil and mint so that astronauts could enjoy more flavorful food on thesolar system’s fourth world.
And one group chose hops.
For the experiments, the students had a small patch of a greenhouse, with a mesh screen reducing the sunlight to mimic Mars’ greater distance from the sun.
What did “fabulous” in pure Martian soil was mesclun, a mix of small salad greens, even without fertilizer, Dr. Guinan said.
When vermiculite, a mineral often mixed in with heavy and sticky Earth soils, was added to the Martian stuff, almost all of the plants thrived. Because astronauts would likely not be hauling vermiculite from Earth but might have cardboard boxes, Dr. Guinan also tried mixing cutup cardboard into the Martian soil. That worked too.
One group of students hypothesized that coffee grinds could similarly be used as a filler to loosen up the soil. They figured the astronauts would be drinking coffee anyway, and coffee would also be a natural fertilizer. “Also, it may help acidify Martian soil,” said Elizabeth Johnson, a Villanova senior who took the class. Mars soil is alkaline, with a pH of 8 to 9, she said, compared to 6 to 7 on Earth.
“We think the coffee has a lot of potential,” Ms. Johnson said.
Her team’s carrots, spinach and scallions sprouted quickly in the mix of coffee grounds and Martian soil, initially growing faster than even plants in a control planter full of Earth potting mix.
Dr. Guinan is not the first to try growing plants in Martian soil. Five years ago, Wieger Wamelink, a scientist at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands had the same idea, a way to combine his work — ecology research — with his interest in science fiction.
The first round of experiments grew 14 types of plants including rye, tomatoes and carrots in Martian soil, simulated lunar soil and Earth soil. Almost all of the plants germinated, Dr. Wamelink and his colleagues reported.
Like Dr. Guinan, Dr. Wamelink found that mixing organic material into Martian soil greatly improved plant growth. They verified that crops grown in Martian soil were equally nutritious and safe to eat. In 2016, the researchers hosted meals cooked from their research crops for more than 50 people who had supported the work with crowdfunding donations.
Last year, they showed earthworms could live, even reproduce, in Martian soil.
Future experiments might grow bamboo, which could also be useful on Mars. “Not because we want panda bears over there,” Dr. Wamelink said. The shoots are edible, and “It’s also a good building material,” he said.
It might be possible to rinse out the perchlorates, which are soluble in water. Bacteria that eat perchlorates might also be used to cleanse the soil.
This semester, two Villanova astronomy students will perform follow-up experiments. That includes attempting to grow barley, the other essential ingredient for future Martian beer. | 2019-04-25T05:57:37 | https://verytopsecret.info/2018/06/30/beer-on-mars-students-find-red-planet-could-grow-hops/ |
