Atom Bank’s chief marketing officer is to join the advisory board for Tech North.
Lisa Wood will work with the organisation to provide a "fresh marketing perspective on a heavily tech-based board" as it continues its efforts to support the digital sector in the region.
Tech North was set up by government-backed Tech City UK and is focused on attracting and developing talent, entrepreneurship and investment in the North.
Wood will join director of Tech North, Richard Gregory, and executive chair, Herb Kim, with other members including Hugh Campbell from GP Bullhound, Lee Perkins from Metronet and David Richards from Wandisco.
Kim said: “I’m incredibly happy to have Lisa Wood join the Tech North Advisory Board. One of the main objectives for Tech North is to raise the awareness of the Northern tech sector and its companies. We couldn’t have found a stronger adviser to help here than Lisa."
Wood has 23 years' experience in marketing and before moving to Durham-based Atom was head of marketing at first direct. She's been recognised in Campaign’s 2017 Power 100 list of influential marketers. | 2019-04-26T07:06:58 | https://www.prolificnorth.co.uk/digital/2017/09/atom-banks-chief-marketing-officer-joins-tech-north-board |
He’s still recovering from a fractured hip but James Robert is looking forward to the better weather and to going to Clavel again.
At 2pm on Sunday 8th November, Clavel is being screened at Inverness Film Festival alongside the first and last of Jenny Gilbertson’s films: A Crofter’s Life in Shetland (1932) and Jenny’s Arctic Diary (1978).
Originally from Glasgow before moving to Shetland, Jenny Gilbertson was a pioneer documentary filmmaker whose main body of work comes from the 1930s, when she made a series of films for Grierson’s GPO Film Unit about Shetland crofters, and the 1970s, when she filmed the Inuit of the Arctic Canada for the BBC and CBC.
Her career spanned the move from silent to sound and then into television, but her idea of filming was the same: live amongst your subjects and let them be who they are, doing what they do. This allows her films to have a gentle pace and understated intimacy.
Gilbertson’s films and her (quietly) radical approach, particularly in the 1930s, has not yet been fully explored, nor has her significant contribution to documentary filmmaking. This has spurred me to write a book about her life and work and to film along the way.
Thank you to Inverness Film Festival for recognising that we have so much to learn from Jenny Gilbertson and for showing her films alongside Clavel, the film that drew so much inspiration from her approach and spirit.
Tickets can be gotten here.
At Dundee Literary Festival this year there’ll be two Shetland-inspired events.
At 10.30am on Saturday 23rd at the D’Arcy Thompson Museum, Malachy Tallack will speak about his book 60 Degrees North. Hang around afterwards to take look at the museum’s Gyr Falcon: it’s a beauty. Book here.
And at 5.30pm on Sunday 25th they’re showing Clavel at the Bonar Hall. Book here. The after-festival party follows and I believe their will be Lerwick Brewery Beer to sup.
You can see Clavel at the Hebridean International Film Festival 2015.
It’s being screened at An Lanntair in Stronoway along with The Laxá Farmers, the stirring story of farmers in Iceland who had to resort to desperate measures to save their land from a dam.
Where does all the oo go?
Here’s a great little blog by Jamieson & Smith, the Shetland wool brokers, explaining where the fleeces and hentilagets from Clavel and all the crofts in Shetland end up and what happens to it.
2015 so far has been a good year for oo, by the sounds of it.
Clavel will be screened twice tomorrow, Wednesday 27th, at Sumburgh Head. The first screening is at 2pm the other at 6pm (we’ll start a little bit after to let those coming from Lerwick get here).
Afterwards there will be a short talk about the making of Clavel and the research I am doing for a biography of the Shetland Filmmaker Jenny Gilbertson.
During my month at the lighthouse I’ve been able to make great progress on the book and have been filming as I go along: first, Jenny’s daughters, Helen and Ann, and then the Hillswick area of Northmavine in Shetland, where Jenny filmed her first films and where she met and lived with her husband, Johnny Gilbertson.
I am very grateful to Shetland Amenity Trust and their artist in residence programme at Sumburgh Head Lighthouse for supporting me with this work.
Note: DVDs of Clavel and a limited edition print of a still from Clavel will be on sale at the Lighthouse screening and at the Sumburgh Head Visitor Centre shop.
A curlew told me that crew from the BBC’s popular detective series, ‘Shetland’, have done a recce on Clavel and will film there at the end of the month.
Whether James Robert is to be given a cameo is not yet known. | 2019-04-24T04:00:07 | https://clavelthefilm.wordpress.com/ |

Port Hardy Museum Curator Jane Hutton gave a humourous and engaging presentation on the facility she manages to District of Port Hardy council May 12.
In 2014, the museum had 4,579 visitors which was down a bit from 2013, Hutton said.
The trend continued in the gift shop. Profits were way up in 2013 and down by about 25 per cent in 2014.
While the number of visitors was down, Hutton kept busy making over and planning various new exhibits.
Last April, she said, the museum had a temporary exhibit focused on prospecting and mining. This exhibit is now a permanent one.
The museum’s latest exhibit, focused on health care on the North Island, opened April 26. It will run until September.
“What we’re planning now for this next season is a short exhibit around Remembrance Day,” said Hutton said.
Another temporary exhibit currently in the planning stages will focus on textiles.
“I have borrowed a collection of children’s smock dresses” for the exhibit which is expected to open in November and run until next summer.
A small exhibit about the Carrot Campaign that resulted in Highway 19 being built to the North Island has been set up in the visitor area at the museum.
The Carrot exhibit is proving to be educational for those who wonder why there is a large carrot in Port Hardy’s oceanfront park.
“Oh that’s what it’s about,” they exclaim, said Hutton.
Over the last year, the permanent sea and First Nations exhibits were updated and the museum has been busy having some new display cabinets built and finding ways to make use of vertical space.
Hutton plans to renovate the commercial fishing exhibit.
The gift shop also received a makeover.
“Ninety-five per cent of what we have in there is First Nations art,” she said.
Despite last year’s dip, the museum has come a long way.
In 2005 when Hutton took over “we were in dire financial straits. Board members used to bring me envelopes so I could mail letters,” she said.
Hutton also asked council about coordinating to celebrate the Municipal District of Port Hardy’s 50th anniversary next year. | 2019-04-23T14:17:53 | https://www.northislandgazette.com/news/museum-sees-dip-in-2014-visitor-numbers/ |

This project focuses on doctoral education (research leadership, supervision, ph.d.-courses, opponent, mid-term evaluation, etc.) and the "silent revolution" within doctoral education with a special focus towards article based PhD-dissertations. PhD by publication is becoming increasingly more common both nationally as well as internationally. But what are the guidelines for such a thesis, how is the formative assessment and how is such a thesis assessed? And how important is research leadership in this new "terrain"? This is some of the elements this project focuses on, in light of international as well as national research on the topic.

What does writing time look like in your classroom? Are your students feverishly writing page after page? That’s great! But if your students watch the clock and count down the minutes until writing is over, then it’s time to add a little fun to your writing block. Here are 10 simple ways to increase writing engagement in your classroom.
Students have a voice, so give them the opportunity to put their ideas and stories onto paper. If you are always dictating what to write about, it sends a message that a student’s thoughts and ideas are not as valuable as yours. My writing block usually started with journal time. Students were free to write and draw about whatever came to mind. After journals we moved into working on a specific genre or writing assignment.
You know I love any opportunity to share a good book, right? Many students get their story ideas from their everyday lives. Since books are filled with stories, they feed into a child’s imagination. This provides students with new writing ideas and opportunities to explore new genres. Kids love to write in a similar style to the authors they admire. So grab those books and use them to bring excitement into writing!
Even as an adult, I still love new school supplies. There is something so magical about using a freshly sharpened pencil and colorful pens. Guess what? Your students love new supplies, too! You can put out some fancy pencils, highlighters, and scented pens. Add some special writing paper with borders or seasonal postcards. Even blank Astrobrights paper is sure to grab their attention! My students also enjoyed using clipboards so they could work somewhere besides their desk.
Adding a little bit of art can be a great motivator for kids. Sometimes it was as easy as having students draw and color an illustration to match their writing. Other times, my students created a craft to accompany their piece of writing, or their writing was included as part of the craft. Art and writing pair well together no matter what you choose.
While many students need it to be quiet to focus, music can also help drown out the distractions. Look for songs that help relax your students and keep the volume low to encourage a more focused writing time.
Writing does not have to be an independent task all the time. One year I had the chattiest group of second grade writers. Our writing block was right after lunch recess. They had the hardest time transitioning into journal writing. I decided to let them have a focused talk each day for the first 5 minutes after recess. They could tell their neighbor what they ate for lunch, what they did at recess, what their after school plans were, you name it! Once that 5 minutes was up, it was writing time. By allowing this social interaction, it actually increased their ability to focus afterward. Allowing your students to talk with their peers can also be used to brainstorm writing ideas and get feedback.
With the exception of a few, most kids love to share their writing. And those who are reluctant to write will have to write something in order to share. Sharing does not have to be done in the same way every day. Sharing might include reading to a partner, a stuffed animal, the whole class, or the principal. It might include putting writing on a bulletin board display or into a class book. You can even take a video of students reading their stories!
When a teacher is excited about writing, that excitement is contagious. Likewise, if a teacher dreads or avoids writing every day, the kids will begin to take on that perception, as well. Do I always feel 100% ready to write? No, and that’s normal. But, I still need to show my students how to work through those feelings and put my thoughts down on paper.
What are some of your favorite ways to increase writing engagement? I’d love to hear them! | 2019-04-24T08:54:05 | https://storiesbystorie.com/8-ways-to-increase-writing-engagement/ |
I’m Cojo, the host of Artist In Repose. I’m known in the NY art and design world as Cojo “Art Juggernaut.” Cojo is short for Colin Jorgensen. I have been known as Cojo since my freshman year at The School of Visual Arts (SVA), and Art Juggernaut is my life. I’ve found it is just broad enough of a descriptor for me to glide in and out of the commercial design and fine art worlds.
My bizarrely inexplicable career path over the last few decades has left me with myriad diverse footholds in many seemingly unrelated creative fields. A Venn diagram of the various fine art scenes, design, advertising, theatre, and commercial art have circles that don’t seem to have any relation to one another, but they do. There are tiny bits of overlap, and those bits are where I somehow live. I bridge the gaps.
The video above shows the faces of just some of the thousands of talented artists, photographers, gallerists, docents, curators, painters, writers, dancers, actors, playwrights, sculptors, DJs, performance artists, cartoonists, musicians, conceptual artists, and innovators I’ve had the privilege to meet and photograph.
Many of them I’ve written about, collaborated with, or interviewed over the past twenty years of working in and documenting the commercial art, design, advertising, tech and art worlds for my blogs ArtSucks and Artiholics. All ages, races, and genders. All stages and colors, from greenhorn to blue chip.
My diverse background puts me in a very strange and complicated rarefied air for a podcast host and interviewer. I am not a boring art historian, or classically trained art writer. I’m not just a random pretty face, talking head, with a list of questions.
I’m a weird combination of my distinct design and art world knowledge, a strange sense of humor, my creative direction experience, writing, social media managing, in person networking, tech development, viral marketing, photography, journalism, comics, illustration, cartooning, video editing, gif building, B2B design, catalog design, html coding, wordpress design, art experimentation, fashion design, billboard design, lecturing, public speaking, influencer seeding, interviewing / hosting, email marketing, directory building, crowd sourcing, blog running, editing, show curating, sculpting, wood working, mold making, editorial design, logo design, poster design, retouching, keynote design, infographic design, High Level Design, and teaching drawing to teenagers (try saying that all in one breath).

Today National has launched yet more legislation aimed at further criminalising and pauperising beneficiaries - and their partners, says Auckland Action Against Poverty spokesperson Sarah Thompson.
“People who are not in the welfare system rarely understand how intrusive Work and Income is in judging when and if people are in relationships in the nature of marriage.
“It's no surprise that so much 'fraud' occurs in this area, as one person's 'marriage' can mean something quite different in reality.
“The effect of these changes will be that even more low income people are criminalised because of the State's interference in this sensitive area, and will lose what income and assets they may have.
“An increase in intimate partner violence is another likely result leading from the threat of partner prosecution.
“A new category of beneficiaries will be created called 'low trust beneficiaries' - who will be treated as an inferior class of beneficiary, subject to even more intimidation and harassment than already applies.
“This legislation will further entrench the dangerous place beneficiaries already occupy in the New Zealand psyche as the group of people most discriminated against, as per the recent Human Rights Commission report.
“Increased information sharing between agencies and the fact that MSD has no obligation to let people know they are under investigation are further proof that the government leaves no stone unturned in its bid to prosecute and persecute people on or applying for benefits.
“Auckland Action Against Poverty believes that ultimately the only real solution to this horrendous blame and shame culture is the introduction of a UBI, a universal basic income which will do away with this whole state apparatus of control over human relationships, more reminiscent of a totalitarian state than of a free and compassionate society. | 2019-04-23T12:35:21 | http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1302/S00192/latest-legislation-further-criminalises-beneficiaries.htm |

Call me a slacker blogger and add slacker photographer in there too because I’ve only captured a handful of moments in the last few weeks.
We’ve been working on getting all the doors and windows painted instead of doing it as we get to that room as we had been doing. The plan is to get before and after shots of each room (without furniture if I can work it out) when it’s totally finished. Fingers crossed in a month.
The house is looking maahh-velous though. No more orange, warm tones everywhere and old feeling. I’m shamelessly admitting that our bathroom door is a blanket right now though.
We only have 2 bathrooms and a kitchen to update, new floors to put in, get the carpet and ducts cleaned, do something with the stairway to the basement and touch ups to do.
I sit looking in the direction of the 3 season porch and cringe because we have no plans to improve it…and it needs help. I still don’t like it overall even though it’s been helpful housing the pups during projects they shouldn’t be present for. If we were going to live here longer I’d rip it off and put a bigger patio in, maybe French doors in the dining room.
Much like I wanted to do more for the exterior but won’t get to. We did put in a lot of time outside to get it to this point-with a new patio in the breezeway between the house and garage-so that will have to do.
The attic has a beautiful new entrance that I’ve not really shared because I’ve been waiting for the trim. Oh well.
But here it is and yes, it’s a hidden entry to stairs to the new, large attic entry (that we added lighting to) that looks like shelving between the dining and living room. You push on the left side of the shelf to open the latch. There was a lot of planning, math and an expensive heavy duty hinge in that baby. We finished it a looong time ago and it’s been housing supplies for projects ever since.
All of these things, along with new doors and trim, will have to suffice. All of this will have been done in two years’ time, mind you. Here’s the list of things we have done and what we have left on our ‘House Projects’ page.
Anywho, painting the doors and windows is somewhat slow-going. The paint is Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White. Nice and crisp but not in-your-face white.
We’ll soon order the remaining trim and paint that then hopefully knock most of the upstairs out on that front over a weekend. Then we can get back to the basement bathroom.
The orders we made are coming in left and right. I think I’ve been dealing with customer service most days. Part of the fun of renovating paired with my notorious bad luck.
Warning: the upcoming paragraphs are rants.
Just yesterday I checked the shipment tracking to see the base was damaged and undeliverable and that I’d have to contact Amazon. So, I did. They can only refund the amount and asked that I buy another one using them as the seller and they would waive the one day shipping fee. That ended up being $20 more than what I had paid for the first base. I contacted Amazon like they said to have the rep tell me he couldn’t help because I apparently was responding from another email…I wasn’t. I began a live chat with a rep who finally took care of everything.
The first pendant light I ordered for the dining room was not as described or pictured AT ALL and after arguing with that company about a complete refund (and getting nowhere) I am still waiting a week later for my money back…even though I am out the $35 for shipping.
The rep for that company first wanted us to drop it off at a Fed Ex location and show them the RMA number where they would create a return shipping label. Well, Greg took it to our local shipping store that ships USPS, UPS and Fed Ex where they charged Greg to print the RMA number (?) that they were supposed to scan from his phone (in the directions) then ended up telling Greg they couldn’t do the return (they could and it’s why we have to drive 20 minutes to a reliable shipper in a town over these days). That took 2 trips just before they closed and achieved nothing nor did they refund the charge to print which was for their own sake. That blew my mind.
I was in contact with the rep from the light place all night just to get him to finally schedule Fed Ex to come and pick it up at our house. The next nearest Fed Ex is 35 minutes away and not on a route we travel often. The rep didn’t tell me when they were coming so of course it was when I was gone and I had to reschedule. A day after they picked it up I received a call from Fed Ex saying they would pick it up the day before…that’s right, the day after what they had said/after it already happened. Might need some improvements on that automated message system, Fed Ex.
The kitchen sink I found on craigslist is not white but cream which will not do. Greg picked it up for me and didn’t notice (that’s my area). The first sink I found on craigslist…sigh…contacted the guy who said they were remodeling in a few weeks and to get back to him then but that it was ours in the meantime. Got back to him when he said they needed a few more weeks. Ok, contacted him again when he somehow didn’t know who I was. He said I could have it if I sent him a check (uhh no) or if I could wait another week we could come and get it. Scheduled the pick up when he wrote back and said it had been broken when they removed it. Back to kitchen sink searching.
All of these things happened in a little over a week and I’ve had other weeks and purchases just like this throughout this home improvement process. Got any good stories of your own? I could use those about now.

The hidden entry is SO COOL! I love it, and it will be one of my favorite features of your house, I’m sure. I’m so sorry about all the “mishaps.” We haven’t done extensive renovations but my sister has…and she has so many stories…she could probably write a book! I’m sorry girl, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end!
I would love to hear her stories. There are just days where nothing seems to go in the right direction but you’re right, it will be worth it in the end. Thank you, Monet! | 2019-04-20T10:53:57 | http://thewitsblog.com/luck-updates/ |

Kepware Technologies, a software development company focused on communications for automation, announced today that its flagship product has been integrated with iQuest, Inc.'s iQagent to deliver an augmented reality view of any industrial plant floor. The Kepware-supported iQuest, Inc. application turns any plant floor into a data-rich environment by allowing technicians to gather, view, and access all data associated with industrial machinery.
iQuest needed iQagent equipped to instantly connect with any machine regardless of its supported protocol. Engineered to support the OPC standard and over 150 different protocols, KEPServerEX allows iQagent to interact with virtually any piece of machinery to consolidate and display previously disparate resources, including operational data, schematics, technical resources, and URLs associated with the equipment process. The iOS-supported application uses QR codes to identify the equipment or process area in the user's vicinity and then displays all relevant process data, document links, and resources in a highly intuitive user interface on an iPad or iPhone display. iQagent turns any plant floor into a data-rich environment by providing technicians with an augmented reality view of production machinery.
Kepware's KEPServerEX is specifically engineered to connect disparate devices and applications. It easily manages, monitors, and controls diverse automation devices and software applications through a robust platform that supports an array of open standards. Kepware's OPC drivers offer the broadest set of support and remove the burden of learning new communications protocols and applications.
"In the Industrial Automation industry, there is no standard language for communications, like the widely known HTTP standard that you see on the Internet," said Bob Meads, Founder and CEO of iQuest. "So you can imagine how difficult it could be to get one application to connect to and communicate with disparate devices in an environment as diverse and complex as an industrial plant floor. With Kepware, it just worked."
Since partnering with Kepware, iQagent has been implemented by highly reputable customers, including the production facilities of one of the industry's largest automotive companies and one of the world's leading healthcare product developers.
About iQuest, Inc.: iQuest is a complete provider of process automation services and solutions, specializing in automation solutions that employ Panels and automated equipment, Drives, PLCs, HMI, Database, Web, network and custom components.

I suppose Dawkins considered this a pithy critique of theistic beliefs and in keeping with the thrust of his book. It does at least give us some insight into how Dawkins and his ilk think about theism, i.e., that it’s epistemically on a par with belief in fairies at the bottom of the garden. But it also reflects just how shallow that thinking is.
Of course it’s enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it, because the former doesn’t depend on the latter in any plausible way. Fairies have no explanatory role to play in one’s appreciation of a beautiful garden. But theists have long contended that God has a significant explanatory role to play in our understanding of the world and our place in it; indeed, a necessary explanatory role.
Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there is a gardener who made it beautiful?
Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without considering not only whether there is a gardener who made it beautiful, but also how it is that we came to possess reliable cognitive faculties which allow us to see gardens, to conceive of them as gardens, and to make meaningful objective aesthetic judgments about them?
But that doesn’t sound nearly so witty, which I guess goes to show that cleverness and profundity don’t always coincide.
The Guardian has provided Richard Dawkins with a platform to explain why he won’t share a platform with Christian apologist William Lane Craig. Dawkins plays what he thinks is a trump card: the real reason he won’t publicly debate Craig is because — drumroll, please — Craig has defended the “genocides ordered by the God of the Old Testament.” It ought to be apparent to anyone who has compared Dawkins’ past debate performances with Craig’s (never mind their respective writings on the rationality of theism) that this explanation is, at best, a feeble rationalization. But that’s not the point I want to make in this post.
Dawkins’ piece reflects his trademark rhetorical devices — condescension, mockery, faux outrage, and a dash or two of genuine wit — but what stuck me most was the complete absence of any moral categories in his criticism of Craig and his views. Dawkins regards Craig’s views as ‘horrific’, ‘revolting’, ‘shocking’, and ‘deplorable’. But none of these descriptors function as objective moral evaluations of Craig or Craig’s God. In reality, they reflect little more than Dawkins’ feelings about Craig and Craig’s God (and the feelings of those who share Dawkins’ jaundiced outlook on the world).
In the end, all Dawkins has really told us is that he won’t debate Craig because he finds Craig’s views personally offensive. It’s not that Craig’s views are unethical; it’s not that they’re immoral; it’s certainly not that they’re wicked or evil. It’s just that Dawkins finds them extremely distasteful. Dawkins is disgusted — and that’s all there is to it. Even if that were the real reason for his refusal to debate Craig, it would hardly be a compelling one. The only virtue of Dawkins’ dubious explanation, if it can be called a virtue, is its consistency with his moral nihilism.
A friend who teaches philosophy emailed me this week and asked whether I’d be interested in collaborating on a book-length, point-by-point response to The God Delusion. He thinks (as I do) that Dawkins’ case against theism is philosophically inept, but he wondered whether a response would be worthwhile because (i) The God Delusion is a New York Times bestseller and (ii) one of his colleagues had expressed concern over several reports of people “losing their faith” after reading the book.
In reply, I told him that while it would be a fun project, in terms of impact it probably wouldn’t add anything to the numerous critical reviews and other responses already available. In any case, these reports of people being ‘deconverted’ by The God Delusion arguably tell us more about those people than about the impact of this one book. Call me cynical, but my suspicion is that most of these were deconversions waiting to happen. Dawkins’ book was merely the final rhetorical shove over the precipice.
I suppose what surprises me most about these Dawkins-destroyed-my-faith stories is that in this day and age it takes practically no effort — at most, a few minutes with a good search engine — to turn up several scholarly responses to The God Delusion (reviews, articles, books, etc.) that should at least give a rational person significant pause before ordering his certificate of debaptism. However, I was also surprised to discover (after a few minutes with a good search engine) that no one has yet gathered links to these responses together in one place.
This post is designed to fill that gap. Consider it a one-stop shop for all your Dawkins-defusing needs. If you know of any (respectable) responses not listed below, please let me know and I’ll considering adding them. | 2019-04-20T07:06:35 | https://www.proginosko.com/tag/richard-dawkins/ |
Kiev - England remained on course for a place in the knockout rounds of Euro 2012 after coming from behind to send Sweden crashing out of the tournament with a 3-2 victory on Friday.
However, the substitution of James Milner for Walcott changed the game. The Arsenal winger lashed in a 64th-minute equaliser to make it 2-2 and then provided the run and pass which set up Welbeck's winner.
"It's always nice to come off the bench and show what you can do," said Walcott.
"We felt from first game (1-1 draw with France) we wanted to pick things up and to get three goals is terrific."
Welbeck was delighted more for the team than himself.
"It was a typical game of two-halves but we always had the belief. There's a great spirit about this squad."
However, Hodgson will want to see a marked improvement from his side if they are to secure the draw they need after a performance littered with errors and shaky defending.
For a while it looked as if England's familiar failings of conceding possession too cheaply and poor delivery would be costly.
Captain Steven Gerrard had clearly seen enough on 23 minutes.
The equaliser came after an Ibrahimovic free-kick bounced back off the wall and was played back to an unmarked Mellberg being played onside by Johnson.
The bearded centre-half's shot beat Hart and Johnson was unable to scramble out of his own net. Mellberg claimed it, but the equaliser was ruled an own-goal by Johnson.
England were rocking and it got worse for Hodgson's men on 59 minutes as Sweden went 2-1 up. Sebastian Larsson swung in a curling free-kick and shambolic defending in the England defence allowed Mellberg to nod home Sweden's second. | 2019-04-19T19:03:45 | https://www.sport24.co.za/Soccer/Euro2012/England-send-Sweden-packing-20120615 |

“With many of us being descendants of immigrants, our sense of home is connected to Toronto but it’s also connected to whichever country we immigrated from. There is a connection to the neighbourhoods and city you grew up in but also a Caribbean identity,” says Alica Hall from NIA Centre, one of the people steering this years Eglinton Cityscapes’ Winter Exhibition.
The theme explores this tension, encouraging us to think deeply about the ways we occupy space in various locations we call ‘home’. Our perspective of what home is, does not have to be a solitary place, but rather a multiplicity of places.
The five featured artists are Solana Cain, Othello Grey, Addae Nurse, Farihah Shah, Kareen Weir. Their pieces reflect themes such as black hair politics, the intersection of language and neighborhood while using Jamaican patois and play on words. Some of the pieces also examine the expression of Black femininity and sexuality.
NIA Centre is a Black art organization focused on promoting, supporting and showcasing art from the African diaspora, providing a platform for emerging artists and emphasizing the importance of Black art and culture. It’s located in Eglinton West, Oakwood village neighbourhood, serving a community largely made up of the first wave of immigrants from the Caribbean. “The Black community has been a substantial part of the history in this area. There’s a lot of creative energy and history in this neighborhood,” says Alica Hall.
The York Eglinton BIA is in its 2nd year with the Eglinton Cityscapes Winter Exhibition, but this is the first time they have partnered with the NIA centre. The goal, says Nick Alampi is to “grow to where it becomes an attraction and an expectation” and encourages more entrepreneurs to open up shop in the Eglinton West area. The neighborhood is active with construction but it is still home to a community that outshines the chaos on the surface.
These artists, through their artwork, are shining a light on their experiences as well as giving passersby a few moments of beauty amidst a concrete transformation.
The Eglinton Cityscapes Winter Exhibition runs until March 26 2019.
Ever Imafidon is a second year student at University of Toronto, majoring in Political Science and minoring in African studies and Women and Gender studies. A proud immigrant from Nigeria, she has been living in Canada for 12 years now and is working towards becoming a lawyer. She currently works with Do the Knowledge, a program attached to Blackstone Foundation Library to promote literacy and Afrocentric reading for members of the Black community. | 2019-04-22T02:21:51 | https://byblacks.com/main-menu-mobile/news-mobile/item/2213-storefront-art-provides-relief-from-construction-at-eglinton-west |
How to calculate biomass boiler cost_Zhengzhou Boiler Co., Ltd.
The cost of biomass boilers is a factor that customers must consider when investing in biomass boiler projects. There are many aspects involved in the calculation of biomass boiler costs. Here are some factors that need to be considered.
Biomass boilers need to know the initial cost of the boiler when calculating the cost. Before the biomass boiler is put into use, it is necessary to purchase the boiler and the auxiliary equipment accessories. The boiler also needs relevant personnel to install and test. The calculation of the initial investment of biomass boilers requires knowledge of the price of boilers and fittings, transportation costs of boilers, boiler installation testing, and boiler room inputs.
Biomass boiler operating costs include: fuel costs, electricity costs, labor costs, boiler maintenance and repair costs.
Biomass fuels in different regions are affected by different conditions such as access methods, transportation, policies, etc., and the price of fuel is different. When the boiler is in operation, the blower, the feeder, the water pump, the induced draft fan and other auxiliary machines need to consume electric energy, which is also a small investment. The boiler also needs a lot of water consumption during operation, and the water and sewage charges should also be calculated. The automation of the ZG boiler biomass boiler is high, which reduces the boiler workers. There are also boiler maintenance and repair costs. The ZG boiler biomass boiler operates reliably, is corrosion resistant, has a long service life and is easy to maintain.

Item was delivered promptly but I would caution other buyers to be careful about your Router. If the 2.4ghz does not reach the bedrooms, the smart plug will not work in the bedrooms. Currently only able to get it to work in the living room. It does work indeed with Google Home Assistant.
Delivery was faster than expected. Tested both plugs, works fine.
Easy to setup and functional. Works fine for scheduling and power consumption measurements.
Fast and good delivery. Product is as described.
Interesting buy. Setup was not too difficult. Now my fan can be "remote controlled".
I received it yesterday. No problem downloading the app (on iphone) and connecting the plug. Also simple to link to Google Home. Works great.
Item received as per advertised. Great value. Fast delivery.
Hope it is easy to set up and works with Google Assistant as indicated.
Item received in good condition. Yet to try it out. Thanks.
Works amazingly, using just to set timer and manual on-off remotely. | 2019-04-20T22:41:03 | https://www.qoo10.sg/item/UPDATED-2-PACK-WIFI-SMART-PLUG-WITH-REMOTE-CONTROL-AND-TIMER/642798973 |
Thanks, Lego-Freak! ;) And yes, I did design this model as well!
This! You guys are definitely the hardest crowd to please... like... EVER!
Thank you for your great review, CorneliusMurdock! Not only for the amazing score, but for all the effort in going into so much detail on your evaluation! It really humbles me everytime someone shows so much respect and admiration for something I've worked on. Merry Christmas to you all!
You need to remove the ground-floor's furniture (they are easily removable) in order to have room to park the car and close the doors, but the Ecto-1 does go through the entrance! it was the compromise I had to make between making the car "fit the model" without leaving a big empty space in the ground-floor and compromising on details like Janine or Peter's desks.
Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly? The mechanism isn't totally symmetric, so you might have missed something. The "H" and "X" configuration shouldn't affect anything in this matter.
That seems a bit of an overreaction, no? ;) Look at this: Out of 5 different versions of the character, represented in that picture, only one has hair. Now, who's rushing in their assumptions and comments? :) The license partner actually has a lot of a say in what versions we can or cannot use, so it's not just up to us, designers, to pick and put them in the box.
So awesome!! :) I gotta remember to come back to this to really dig into the innumerous details! Well done!
Thank you for asking! :) Often we notice in building tests we do with kids that they have a serious hard time pressing plates together. Not only the big ones, but also more "reasonable" sizes like a 2x6. And new consumers - often attracted by IPs like this one, without necessarily having much experience with LEGO - end up having a not optimal experience if we don't take it in consideration that it takes more effort and attention to make sure the bricks are pressed together. With this in mind, having two 2x3 plates instead would have tripled the amount of studs in that area, so I saw a perfect opportunity to introduce an element that I must admit I've completely fallen in love with lately. The color change wasn't done by me. I believe some other product that came or is coming out this year has needed it. Unfortunately I can't always keep track of your comments - you guys write too much! hehe - but I did read some and i must say i'm very happy you guys loved this set. I was thrilled to be part of it and with the great feedback I've been receiving I feel definitely very inspired and motivated for everything else still yet to come! :) So, thank you all! | 2019-04-25T06:35:53 | https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/profile/6217-marcosbessa/ |

Click here for audio of Episode 880.
Today, we enter hyperspace on a kitchen table. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.
Your computer depends on Boolean logic. That's kin to the arithmetic that admits only two numbers: 0 and 1. Binary arithmetic doesn't go 1, 2, 3, 4. It goes 0, 1, 10, 11. The English mathematician George Boole built his logic on that arithmetic.
But we're interested in Boole's daughter, Alicia Boole Stott. George Boole took a professorship at Queen's College, Cork, in 1849. Alicia was born there in 1860. When she was four, George died of the fever and left the family with very limited means.
For the next 14 years, Alicia lived in bad conditions in Ireland and England. She was educated only up to the age of 16. Then a piece of serendipity: In 1878 a family friend brought in a set of wooden blocks and talked with Alicia about tesseracts.
A tesseract is a four-dimensional object. It is to a cube what a cube is to a plane square. If you have trouble picturing that, you can appreciate the task Alicia had taken on.
Alicia went on to be a secretary -- all the time thinking about the generalization of polygons into four-dimensional space. In 1890 she married an actuary of fairly modest means, Walter Stott. She raised two children while she built wooden models of the three-dimensional shadows cast by four dimensional objects.
She was a housewife whose hobby was hyperspace. Then she read a paper on those same geometric figures by Pieter Schoute, at the Dutch University of Groningen. So she sent photos of her models to him. He immediately suggested they collaborate.
And they did, until he died in 1913. She published papers in the pure math journals. After Schoute's death, the University of Groningen asked her to its 300th anniversary celebrations. They gave her an honorary degree -- the only degree she ever got. Later, she showed the cylinder it came in to her husband. "This will be a good place to keep sticks of macaroni," she told him.
During the 1930s, now over 70, she worked on the geometrical problems of arranging 4-dimensional kaleidoscopes. If you think a 4-D kaleidoscope is silliness, please think again. This kind of mathematics plays directly into applied physics and eventually touches practical problems in a very real world.
Maybe Alicia Stott was born with a genetic silver spoon in her mouth. Indeed, her nephew was the great authority on fluid flow, G.I. Taylor. More likely, though, this family simply honored the creative process, generation after generation.
After George Boole died, Alicia's mother sold his gold medal in math to buy a harmonium for her children. And there I believe we see Alicia Stott's real silver spoon. She lived in a family that loved the creative process and fed it -- any way they could.
I refer to Alicia as Alice in the audio of this episode. Actually, her family pronounced her name as Alice although it was spelled Alicia.

Thousands of topics trend on Twitter across the world every day, making it increasingly challenging to provide real-time analysis of current issues, topics and themes being discussed across various locations and jurisdictions. There is thus a demand for simple and extensible approaches to provide deeper insight into these trends and how they propagate across locales. This paper represents one of the first studies to look at geospatial spread of trends on Twitter, presenting various techniques to provide increased understanding of how trends on social networks can spread across various regions and nations. It is based on a year-long data collection (N=2,307,163) and analysis between 2016–2017 of seven Middle Eastern countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates). Using this year-long dataset, the project investigates the popularity and geospatial spread of trends, focusing on trend information but not processing individual topics, with the findings showing that likelihood of trends spreading to other locales is to a large extent influenced by the place in which it first appeared. | 2019-04-26T06:03:19 | https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa43571 |

Plants in an empty home need maintenance; fake plants are…fake. Withering plants and fake plants don’t leave a positive impression.
If you expect your buyers to look past a deficit: don’t; if you see one, fix it. Be completely prepared when showing your home.
Lightly staging a room is a disadvantage: do it totally or not at all.
Hiring a staging professional and imposing your own taste: you are not the professional.
Staging with all the same period furniture. Mixed furniture works well and is affordable.
Taking the shoes off when entering: No, not for a showing.
Pulling out stages when a sale is pending: ill-advised, what if it falls through?
Staging will solve all problems: No.
Staging is easy: if it were, why do you think there are professionals who are paid to do it?
The Winter Home Buyer Report indicates that winter is an excellent time for buyers who haven’t been able to purchase a home during the competitive spring and summer months. This is the finding released in November by REALTOR.com.
Obviously when demand is high and inventory is low, home prices rise. This makes it especially difficult for first-time home buyers. In such a competitive market, all-cash offers and bidding wars for the small inventory of home make it a huge challenge for buyers, especially those new to the housing market.
“This summer and spring home buying season was particularly challenging for buyers, especially first-time home buyers trying to compete with all-cash offers and bidding wars because of reduced inventory. Motivated sellers, better prices and less competition between buyers are some of the top reasons winter home buyers are interested in purchasing a home during the colder months of the year.”—from the November report.
The report finds that 34% report that during the winter there isn’t enough inventory. 29% believe that winter weather makes it unpleasant to house-hunt.
With the distractions of weather and the holidays so prevalent in winter months, the real estate market seems to slow. Even when weather isn’t a factor, there seems to be a disinclination to schedule a move in the winter.
Yet it is recommended that winter is an advantageous time to sell a home, before the new year begins.
Call your realtor and get help with how to sell your home, plus more details about the winter housing market in Napa.
One of the ways to improve marketability of your home and perhaps to lower your anxiety when you are putting your home up for sale is to have a home inspection. Even though an owner may be anxious about what the report will show especially fear that any repairs would be costly, most sellers are willing to disclose all that they know about their home to a potential seller. Better that the buyer know about all issues before an offer is made than afterward.
Home inspection reports can contain surprises for both sellers and buyers. Therefore, if the seller has the home inspected even before putting it up for sale, there won’t be any surprises. You have the choice of repairing or disclosing it to the buyer.
Sometimes in the process of selling a home, every expense comes under close scrutiny. A home inspection, usually about $500, is not something to be disregarded. It’s an important part of selling your home. For a home that sells for $175K, the fee would be less than .03% of the sale price.
Another way of increasing the marketability of your home is to offer a home protection plan. It will boost buyer confidence. The buyer benefits by avoiding unexpected expenses for items covered for the first year of owning their new home.
You can always contact me for recommendations of home inspectors or home protection plans.
Some may harbor the idea that if you’re very friendly with the appraiser, your home will receive a higher appraisal value. However, in truth appraisers have their own methods and engaging them in conversation while they are doing their work would probably interfere with their concentration and ability to do the best job.
There are things you can do to ensure that your home is seen from the best perspective.
• Appraisers are usually in the home for less than an hour. Make sure to point out features that you have questions about that may not be easily noticed.
• Make sure your dog doesn’t provide interference and distraction.
• Photos will be taken of the house’s exterior so make sure it looks its best.
• Your home sound have a pleasant odor.
• List of updates that you’ve done within in the last two years such as electrical and plumbing upgrades should be provided, including receipts of the work done. Work amounting to $500 or more should go on that list.
• De-clutter so that you create a sense of space and cleanliness. Clear your kitchen counter, bathroom areas, end tables of unnecessary items. You might even box them temporarily.
Although you may be anxious to see the appraisal report, the appraiser may take sometime to find comparable properties which are used to generate a report. Be patient.
Most people think about the need for a real estate agent when they are looking to buy or sell a home. During such periods, it’s natural to turn to your real estate agent when you have questions. Yet most people involved in either side of the process are homeowners most of the time. As an owner of a home, if you have questions, where do you turn for reliable solid recommendations?

We intend to have a special group of friends and past customers who turn to us as real estate professionals for all questions related to your home.

Does Reiki Help With Grief?
I’ve been asked a number of times how can Reiki help with grief. That’s a great question. I had been studying and receiving Reiki long before the deaths of my loved ones. So when they died, one of the first things I did each time was to call my Reiki Teacher and Mentor for a session. Anyone who knows me have heard me say that Reiki helped me get through the grief associated with both of their deaths. Here is my take on why.
As a quick refresher, Reiki is is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is given by the “laying of hands” that has been practiced for thousands of years. In fact, the basis for modern-day Reiki may have started in Tibet more than 2,500 years ago. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words – Rei and Ki. The word “Rei” means higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness. The word “Ki” means life energy. This is the same meaning as in Chi (Chinese), Prana (Sanskrit) and Ti/Ki (Hawaiian). Life energy plays an important role in everything we do. Reiki harnesses that life energy to promote healing, relaxation and a sense of calm.
Aches, pains, and other stress-related ailments.
Since the above list shows that grief affects us physically, it’s important to understand what is happening and why. A body needs energy to be healthy. Energy from food, energy from exercise and energy from being outside in nature. Grief however is an energy-depleting emotion. If you aren’t replacing and/or balancing the energy your body loses when grieving, you begin to feel awful. It you don’t do anything to replenish the energy being removed from your body, over time you feel worse and worse. For example, after the death of my former finance, my heart physically ached inside my body. It felt like it was going to explode out of my chest. It felt like I was having a heart attack. Maybe in some way – figuratively not literally – I was. My stomach felt like I had swallowed a block of concrete. I had zip, nada, no energy. A person’s body, mind and soul can only take this for so long before any number of unhealthy things start to happen. It’s not unusual to get sick when you are grieving. It’s not unusual to have some sort of accident when you are grieving. These two outcomes can almost have worse consequences than if we just emotionally felt our grief from the beginning.
It’s not a coincidence that the symptoms associated with grieving and the benefits of Reiki almost match each other one-for-one. Reiki energy knows right where to go to balance and heal. The more I started receiving Reiki (and eventually once I learned how to practice Reiki on myself) the more I realized that I was actually taking better care of my body. As soon as I started Reiki after my loved ones died, my heart stopped feeling like it was going to explode. The brick in my stomach eventually went away. Being physically balanced and more relaxed helped me to find a sense of calm even though I was grieving. It helped me to think more clearly. It helped to sleep better so I wasn’t walking around the house and work like a zombie. Reiki didn’t magically take the sadness associated with my grief away, but it did make it physically easier for me to deal with grief’s ups and downs. Having a sense of calm and balance gave me the courage and stamina I needed to tackle my journey through grief.
So consider trying Reiki. Don’t wait until you are grieving to receive its benefits. If you haven’t tried it and are grieving, find a Reiki Practitioner in your area. Reiki will help you to stay well both physically and spiritually which is something we especially need after suffering any loss. | 2019-04-21T02:39:45 | https://grief-reiki.com/how-can-reiki-help-with-grief/ |

Godot offers two main means of creating types: scripts and scenes. Both of these represent a “class” since Godot revolves around Object-Oriented design. How they do this may not be clear to beginner or intermediate users though.
Godot Engine provides classes out-of-the-box (like Node), but user-created types are not actually classes. Instead they are resources that tell the engine a sequence of initializations to perform on an engine class.
Furthermore, this ClassDB is what Objects actually check against when performing any operation. Access a property? Call a method? Emit a signal? It will check the database’s records (and the records of the Object’s base types) to see if the Object supports the operation. Every C++ Object defines a static _bind_methods() function that describes what C++ content it registers to the database and how.
So, if the engine provides all of this data at startup, then how does a user define their own data? It’d be nice if users could define a custom set of data to be appended to an object’s data. That way, users could inject their own properties and methods into the engine’s Object query requests.
This is what a Script is. Objects check their attached script before the database, so scripts can even override methods. If a script defines a _get_property_list() method, that data is appended to the list of properties the Object fetches from the ClassDB. The same holds true for other declarative code.
This can lead to some users’ confusion when they see a script as being a class unto itself. In reality, the engine just auto-instantiates the base engine class and then adds the script to that object. This then allows the Object to defer to the Script’s content where the engine logic deems appropriate.
A problem does present itself though. As the size of Objects increases, the scripts’ necessary size to create them grows much, much larger. Creating node hierarchies demonstrates this. Each individual Node’s logic could be several hundred lines of code in length.
let’s see a simple example of creating a single Node as a child.
child = Node.new() # Construct the child.
child.name = "Child" # Change its name.
child.script = preload("child.gd") # Give it custom features.
child.owner = self # Serialize this node if self is saved.
add_child(child) # Add "Child" as a child of self.
Child = new Node(); // Construct the child.
Child.Name = "Child"; // Change its name.
Child.Script = (Script)ResourceLoader.Load("child.gd"); // Give it custom features.
Child.Owner = this; // Serialize this node if this is saved.
AddChild(Child); // Add "Child" as a child of this.
Notice that only two pieces of declarative code are involved in the creation of this child node: the variable declaration and the constructor declaration. Everything else about the child must be setup using imperative code. However, script code is much slower than engine C++ code. Each change must make a separate call to the scripting API which means a lot of C++ “lookups” within data structures to find the corresponding logic to execute.
To help offload the work, it would be convenient if one could batch up all operations involved in creating and setting up node hierarchies. The engine could then handle the construction using its fast C++ code, and the script code would be free from the perils of imperative code.
This is what a scene (PackedScene) is: a resource that provides an advanced “constructor” serialization which is offloaded to the engine for batch processing.
Now, why is any of this important to scene organization? Because one must understand that scenes are objects. One often pairs a scene with a scripted root node that makes use of the sub-nodes. This means that the scene is often an extension of the script’s declarative code.
what objects are available to the script?
what connections to each other do they have, if any?
As such, many Object-Oriented principles which apply to “programming”, i.e. scripts, also apply to scenes. Some scripts are designed to only work in one scene (which are often bundled into the scene itself). Other scripts are meant to be re-used between scenes.
Regardless, the scene is always an extension of the root script, and can therefore be interpreted as a part of the class. Most of the points covered in this series will build on this point, so keep it in mind. | 2019-04-23T16:07:33 | https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/workflow/best_practices/what_are_godot_classes.html |

As I am a widow travelling alone I find this way of leaving my Audi in safe hands an extremely efficient and professional service.
It is very quick and smooth, also just a two minute walk up the ramp and you are in the airport.
Enjoyed the service, need clear initial directions to "fast track" car park though, other than that really good.
Parking so near to the airport is extremely convenient and takes away any trouble of parking elsewhere, waiting to be transported or hanging around, more so on very early morning flights when time is of the essence. I would thoroughly recommend this company to friends and colleagues.
As the flight was late the last thing we wanted was to wait around so it was brilliant that the car was where we left it, the driver was available to hand over the keys and we were out of the car park in seconds.
We were met and greeted at both on departure and arrival back at 1.30 in the morning. very cheery guys and much appreciated service.
It is the first time I have used this service and I found it very efficient and convenient.I would certainly recommend it as a trouble free solution to airport parking and collection of vehicle.
We have used this service at least 5 times over a period of years and we would recommend it to anyone .

Today I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master in Positive Psychology. Kind of. Our class technically finishes in the summer when we complete our capstones - but we got to wear the cap and gown and I bought a Penn t-shirt...so it feels like I graduated. I feel good. Relieved. Happy. Content. Sad. Uncertain. Anxious. Calm. Cool. A little numb. Open. Collected. Grounded. All at once.

In feng shui, everything is a symbol of something. In a feng shui consultation, we look at the objects in your home and office and decide together if they still support your intentions or if they thwart them.
The feng shui grid or bagua is made up of nine equal squares. It is important to look at each area to help you gain understanding of positive symbols in harmony with that part of the grid. We'll start with the Wealth area.
As you stand at your front door, the Wealth Abundant Lifestyle area is in the far left corner. The Wealth area of a room is the far left corner as you stand in its doorway.
Before you even begin looking at what is there, now, think for a moment: What is Wealth to you? What makes you feel wealthy? Whatever you value most in your life can give you ideas for Wealth Abundant Lifestyle symbols.
Perhaps abundant wealth means being able to take fabulous vacations. A photograph taken on the most recent one or your passport in a special box are good symbols.
Wealth could mean affording college educations for your children. Anything with the logo of the schools is a great wealth symbol for you.
For some people it is the freedom to choose to do and have whatever they like. Paintings or sculptures that give the feeling of freedom are perfect symbols for them.
Once you have a clear idea of your primary motivator in amassing wealth, then go to the Wealth area of your home and see if what is there supports that prime force. Do you feel wealthy in that area? Do you feel comfortable?
Next, refine your attention to the Wealth area of that room. What is there? Do the items there speak of wealth or not? Ultimately, you will go to every room of your home and check out the Wealth area in each.
You'll delete, move, or refresh anything that holds you in the past, is broken or tattered, or is better placed in another area of the feng shui grid. Anything that honors your primary motivation for Wealth and Abundant Lifestyle stays with added power.

Children who do better on financial capability tend to have parents who are more financially capable themselves.
Parents and carers play a crucial role in preparing children to manage their money well as adults and there are direct links between what parents do and their children’s financial behaviour. Parents and carers are seen overwhelmingly by children as the main source of advice about money and they can role model financially capable behaviour, provide money advice, openly talk to children about money, and provide the opportunity for their children to experience money management.
To be able to manage money well as adults, children need to observe, talk about and experience using money on a regular basis. Our research shows that children who are exposed to conversations about money, are given money on a regular basis and are given responsibility for spending and saving tend to do better with money as adults.
Some parents are concerned about exposing their children to money at an early age, while some other parents find it difficult to have conversations about money with their children.
There are children who receive financial education in school as part of the national curriculum in England (secondary schools), Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (primary and secondary). This could be seen as sufficient for children’s needs, but from our research, four in ten children say they had not received any financial education in school.
Parents and carers provide the opportunity for children to observe, talk about and experience using money and the home environment provides the opportunity for children to practise handling and managing money on a regular basis and make mistakes with money at an early age when the consequences have much less impact. To enhance children’s learning, parents and carers can engage with schools to support their children’s experience of learning how to manage money.

Diabetes UK has introduced a new tool for healthcare professionals to support people with diabetes who may be feeling emotionally low or depressed. The Mood Information Prescription helps generate a structured conversation between a healthcare professional and a person with diabetes who may be experiencing anxiety. The one-page document aims to enable a person with diabetes to talk about how they feel, manage their diabetes well and find practical ways to feel more positive about living with their condition.
Depression is twice as common in people with diabetes, yet less than one in four people with diabetes have access to appropriate emotional and psychological support. Depression may be triggered by the impact of being newly diagnosed with diabetes, the daily responsibility of managing the condition and/or the fear of complications caused by diabetes.
The Diabetes and Mood Information Prescription has been developed in collaboration with people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and Health Care Professionals including psychologists and a psychiatrist. | 2019-04-23T18:56:21 | https://www.desang.net/2017/06/mood-tool-diabetes-uk/ |

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters Life!) - Researchers have found the first published illustration by John James Audubon, America’s most famous bird artist, ending decades of searching for the prized but elusive work.
Audubon had made two references to the illustration in his diaries, but it had never been seen until it was found on a sheet of sample images produced in 1824 by a New Jersey engraver who specialized in illustrations for banknotes.
Eric Newman, a numismatic, or currency, historian working with Robert Peck, a senior fellow with Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences who had spent the last decade looking for the long-lost illustration, discovered it.
Some researchers doubted its existence and even suggested that Audubon lied when he wrote about it to enhance his reputation before the publication of his masterwork “Birds of America,” starting in 1827.
Although it is unsigned, the image is clearly Audubon’s work because its detail - the bird is shown running through its grassy habitat - is characteristic of the artist’s ornithological expertise, according to experts.
The discovery, announced by the Academy on Thursday, will be published in the Journal of the Early Republic, a historical periodical, this fall.
The choice of subject suggests Audubon had little concept of what bankers might want on their notes, and helps to explain why the illustration had eluded scholars for so long.
“A skittish, shy, running grouse doesn’t instill great confidence in the bank,” Peck said.
Bankers in the early 19th century were more inclined to opt for images of eagles, or past presidents, to convey strength and stability to their customers, and so showed little interest in the grouse.
If the illustration of the now-extinct Heath Hen found its way on to banknotes in any quantity, it would have been at the New Jersey State Bank, for which the engraver, Gideon Fairman, produced the samples.
The bank’s Trenton branch failed in 1825 and its only other branch, in Camden, later destroyed all small-denomination bills in an effort to stop counterfeiting.
But Fairman, seeking business from the thousands of different bills in U.S. circulation during the first half of the 19th century, also produced the image for a bank in Norwalk, Ohio, which put it on a sample $3 bill, and for a bank in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which used the grouse on a $5 bill, also just a sample, Peck said.
Two of the Bridgeport notes, and one from the Ohio bank, are now known to exist. All are owned by Newman, who is planning to put them on public display at a numismatic museum in St. Louis later this year. The sample sheets and notes will also be exhibited at Princeton University in 2011. | 2019-04-18T10:26:27 | https://ca.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idCATRE66T3ZB20100730 |

Some new new details have arrived online for Ridley Scott's Prometheus. The synopsis is said to be an official breakdown of the film and has tons of spoilers. I am looking forward to this film and can not wait to see the official trailer when it arrives online.
Charlize Theron, the Monster/Aeon Flux star, is scheduled to join Girl with the Dragon Tattoo lead Noomi Rapace on Ridley Scott’s, “No longer Alien 0, but something new with the same recycled material called Prometheus.” The actual film is scheduled to be in theaters on June 8 of next year. Scott has an established and recognized legacy of action and thriller films, including Blade Runner, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, and American Gangster.
Update: Logan Marshall-Green, of 24 fame, has been added as a love interest for Rapace’s character. X-Men: First Class’s Michael Fassbender, Thor co-star Idris Elba, Outlaw actor Sean Farris and Kate Dickie have also been added to the cast.
Update 2: Via Rotten Tomatoes and Collider, Memento’s Guy Pearce has been confirmed to join the production.
Update 3: X-Men: The Last Stand’s Ben Foster has been added to the cast.
Update 4: While Scott was intentionally elusive about whether or not Prometheus is related to Alien, he did note he plans to work on PG-13 and R-rated cuts of the former film. Scott also touted the 3D aspect of the film.
Update 5: Via @moviefone, Watchmen’s Patrick Wilson has been added to the cast. Oh, and check out the doors on this thing, I guess.
Update 6: Fandompost has unearthed more of the premise for Prometheus. Also of note is that they locked down a June 8, 2012 theatrical date for the film.
Update 7: You can read more about the characters at Dark Horizons, courtesy of MTV.

Update 9: Alienprequelnews.com reports that MA actor Darwin Shaw will play a character known as The Engineer, while Matthew Rook will play a character known as Elder Engineer. Thanks to @timmaughan and @alienpreqnews for the update.
Update 10: Dark Horizons via Speakeasy has a comment from Scott which suggests there might be an Alien connection-albeit miniscule-after all. Also, Sigourney Weaver will not be making a cameo in Prometheus.
Update 11: Bloody Disgusting has the first scans of Prometheus‘ unveil from an upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Update 12: Comicbookmovie.com linked a low-res leaked trailer.
Update 13: AICN via boxofficebuz.com linked possible Prometheus spoilers. Correction: Looks like it’s a fake. Thanks to @timmaughan for the tip.

What happened to Elizabeth Shaw? Who is that in the wheelchair?
Recently released, in the form of heavily Alien inspired, teaser trailer for "Prometheus" is perhaps one of the most intriguing promos ever released. I have been watching it for some time now, on repeat, and it is driving me crazy. The whole cast and Ridley Scott have been teasing all of us cruelly for the last few months - apparently changing their minds whether it is a prequel of "Alien" or it is not. The teaser pretty much proves that in fact, "Prometheus" has very strong links to the iconic movie - here is a wonderful breakdown of the trailer, frame by frame.
What we know for sure is that Charlize Theron is playing a villain - how hot is that - and Noomi Rapace is the heroine of the story - Elizabeth Shaw, whom we see screaming in the trailer. Michael Fassbender stars as an android, who may or may not start becoming - literally - human in the progress of the story.
Charlize Theron, possibly doing push ups after sleeping during space travel?
The thing everyone wants to know is if Alien, in my opinion the scariest movie monster to ever appear on screen, will also appear in this movie. Having read most of the rumours I'm certain that we will see some variation of the creature. Well, we will certainly see the eggs, teaser shows them, but I think everyone wants to see Alien bouncing around. There were people in Alien costumes on the set. So, let's keep our fingers crossed. Although the realist in me thinks that what Scott said - about last 8 minutes of "Prometheus" being a link to "Alien" - will involve the eggs in the cave, that are found in the, chronologically, first film.
From what I gathered from the synopsis, that is flying around the Internet, it seems there may be some conflict on the ship and that the team will start fighting within the group. I think the synopsis is real, since it has strong ties to trailer images and Alien mythology, so to speak. In this case the monsters in this story will be mutated people.
There is a strong chance that there will be a freaky pregnancy in the film - the leaked early version of the trailer has footage of Shaw's belly rising, in the scene similar to Ripley's dream in "Aliens"- if it's the case - is the pregnancy by infected crew member? or by Alien? Is it a coincidence or an experiment?
Scott says there will be the scene showing the creation of Earth. From many rumours it seems that Earth may have been created by aliens or if you wish the Engineers. We may see them in the film.
Theron says about her character "she’s working with the company that’s sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act.". That would tie in with the thing written in synopsis that may or may not be fake that she is more than she appears.
Scott has said that the title is reminiscent of the well known myth where Prometheus stole the fire from Gods, bringing their wrath on human race. I'm still puzzled by this, although the general consensus in speculations seems to be that it's Charlize Theron's character that will do something to bring doom on the ship.
Another thing - which appears to be most well known - is that the film will answer the mystery of Space Jockey. For those unfamiliar with the term - you know that scene in "Alien" where they see this huge throne-thing with dead, huge creature in it? Yeah, that's Space Jockey. They kinda dropped it and it's one of the hings that builds freaky climate of the original film, but now Scott decided to dig deeper on that idea. He definitely went ahead with it, as in one scene in the teaser we see Charlize Theron with Space Jockey's helmet, somewhat smaller, on the table.
Hopefully after "Aliens" which was James Cameron's abomination - he took World's greatest horror movie and turned it into action/adventure/family/drama/crap, "Alien 3" raped by the studio and "Alien Resurrection" which was just...too much of grotesque for any one's taste, when rightful master of the series - Ridley Scott - is in director's chair again, we will get the prequel worthy of original movie. The movie will be shown in 3D which I don't object to, either with PG-13 or R rating which I will object to. It is Alien prequel, or if you follow Scott's diversion technique "the movie set in Alien universe" - it has to be R rated.
Ridley Scott also said that the movie will have ties to the original films and not to the sequels. That makes me very happy. At this point all of these are speculations of course, but we finally have something to go on - the teaser is just fascinating and promises one of the best - if not the best - movies of 2012. We have six months to wait. Let's hope the film is worth it.
AvPGalaxy reports that Ridley Scott has went to the Isle of Skye in Scotland last weekend to shoot a couple of pick-up shots for Prometheus.
According to community based newspaper West Highland Free Press, Ridley Scott was "overseeing filming of some of the final scenes" around the Old Man of Storr, a large sea-stack off the coast of Trotternish Ridge in the Scottish Highlands.
Another report of the shoot comes from the unlikely source of portable toilet hire company, Nixon Toilet Hire, who had to deliver portable toilets and equipment for the shoot before January 13th.
Exactly which actors were present for the shoot is not mentioned, and why they've had to go back for a pick-up shoot is another question.
The major gongs at this year's Oscars were dominated by silent French movie 'The Artist' - though looking ahead to 2013, it could be a more wide-open race. Ridley Scott's sci-fi thriller Prometheus', starring Michael Fassbender, is being tipped as a possible Oscar nominee, while The Dark Knight Rises will surely be a contender. Elsewhere, Clint Eastwood's role as an ageing baseball scout in 'Trouble with the Curve' could see the veteran return to the Academy Awards with a Best Actor nomination, while Leonardo Dicaprio may finally take home the award for his role in 'The Great Gatsby'.
LOS ANGELES, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX; TSX:IMX) and Twentieth Century Fox today announced that Prometheus, the summer's scariest action event picture and director Ridley Scott's return to the genre he helped define, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® 3D format and released in IMAX® digital and film theatres domestically and in a select number of IMAX theatres internationally, starting June 8, 2012.

One of the great multichannel marketing examples of the past few years was the campaign for the Warner Bros. film Inception. The initiative - which had several viral digital marketing components such as social media games and cryptic online videos - amped up the mystery shrouding Inception and was largely credited with driving interest in the movie.
Now, Fox is trying to hit similar notes with its upcoming sci-fi movie, Prometheus. The first pictures from the film surfaced last year, but they showed only vague images of astronauts. More recently, new sets of images were released to media sites and the company's own microsites, further evoking the mystery behind the origins of the aliens.
A 30-second trailer was launched in December that quickly spread on YouTube, amassing nearly 8 million views. This clip was attached to the movie's Facebook page, which has accrued upward of 100,000 Likes.
Fox is taking the viral nature of the campaign one step further, Den of Geek notes, through the launch of a mock blog run by a fictional corporation in the movie. This blog offers further hints about the background of Prometheus.
As the source notes, the care with which the campaign is being executed shows the respect Fox has for film and its fans, which is helping to drive excitement.
"Whether Prometheus proves to be an acclaimed hit or not, it feels like a film that's being marketed by people who have a passion and understanding of what they're selling – and their eagerness to keep so much under wraps merely makes us want to see the finished film all the more," Den of Geek concludes.
Prometheus is set to hit theaters this summer on June 8. A new trailer is slated to launch on Saturday, further enhancing the digital marketing effort. | 2019-04-25T01:00:39 | http://mfmultiply.forumotion.com/t1144p25-prometheus-news |
Sarah & Dave asked me to do their wedding quite some time ago. The day was glorious (for October!) and we had the groom singing as the bridal party walked down the aisle, raucously entertaining groomsmen, autumn colours in the flower arrangements and a staggering amount of time and effort on the part of the couple, with the table decorations beautifully done my themselves, finishing off with a fireworks display. | 2019-04-18T18:30:45 | https://dbrooksphoto.co.uk/DBP/Galleries/20151003-sarah-dave-wedding-kp-club-pocklington/index.htm |
This recipe is great, because it looks, sounds and tastes like a dessert… but you can eat it for breakfast! There’s zero cooking involved, and minimal hassle. Chia seeds are these tiny, spherical beads that don’t look like much upon first glance, but they’re jam-packed full o’ goodness! They’re rich in magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, fibre and omega-3s, which are further enhanced with whatever trimmings you add into the mix.
They best soaked in coconut or almond milk, which helps to maximise nutrient absorption.
I’ve used whey protein to provide muscle fuel and sustenance, plus cherries for natural colour and sweetness.
In a bowl or mug, pour the coconut milk over the chia seeds, stirring gently; add the stevia or Sweet Freedom. Cover and transfer to the fridge for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
When you’re ready, sprinkle some cherries into the base of a jar, glass, or container of your choice (slice them in half if you want to). Pour half of the chia seed mixture over the top, which should now have a gelatinous-like consistency. Sprinkle a few more cherries over this layer.
In a separate container, whisk the yogurt with the protein powder, making sure there are no clumps. Layer this over the top of the cherries. Add the remaining cherries and their juice over the chocolate layer, finishing off with another chia seed layer.
Top with a spoonful of nut butter if wanted, a couple of extra cherries on the top, plus a sprinkling of cinnamon, cacao nibs or grated, dark chocolate.

The error message that you were seeing "Requested Access Module not found" indicates that FastLoad cannot locate the OLEDB_AXSMOD.dll file. It searches the folders listed in the value of the PATH environment variable.
When you start the Microsoft Windows 2000 command interface from Windows (for examples, by clicking Start / Programs / Accessores / Command Prompt, or Start / Run / "cmd" / OK), Windows adds folders listed in the Path registry value located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths\cmd.exe key. The name of the folder containing the OLEDB_AXSMOD.dll file should be put there during installation.
Also, if you started FastLoad directly from Windows, then the folder containing the OLEDB_AXSMOD.dll file would be added to the PATH because of the Path registry values under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths\fastload.exe key.
See www.codeguru.com or the "Application Registration" section of www.msdn.microsoft.com... . asp for more information on the "App Paths" mechanism.
When you create your own application (which is essentially what you're doing by creating a batch file, albeit an extremely simple application) and launch it directly from Windows or via some other mechanism other than from the Microsoft Windows 2000 command interface, you (a) assume the responsibility for setting the PATH properly for your application, and (b) bypass the above mechanisms for setting the PATH.
I hope that this explains why you are seeing the error only when you use a batch job vs. from the command prompt. | 2019-04-21T19:03:02 | http://teradataforum.com/teradata/20040130_145827.htm |

In another twist in the ongoing health crisis in Swaziland, the kingdom’s blood bank has run dry, putting at risk patients who are suffering from leukaemia, cancer of the blood, skin and lung cancer.
The APA news agency reported on Friday (16 June 2017) chief laboratory technologist at the Blood Bank, Gugu Maphalala said the demand of blood had gone up in recent years due to increases in diseases and blood was flowing out of the bank quicker than it came in.
The Ministry of Health has turned to inmates in correctional facilities for blood but APA reported some people were against this ‘as they said it was against certain standards’.
There has been a health crisis in Swaziland for several months as medicines in public hospitals and health clinics ran out because the Swazi Government failed to pay suppliers.
The Minister said more drugs were now being delivered. | 2019-04-22T12:03:15 | http://www.swazilandhumanrightswatch.net/2017/06/swazi-health-crisis-blood-runs-out.html |

Ahhhh, summer—the season of family reunions and summer camps! And with so much fun at stake, your experience is only as good as your preparation. Of course, you’ll plan on packing the essentials (bug repellent, sunscreen, sleeping bag, and other camp requirements), but there are lots of “little” items that can make a big difference as you head off for adventure! Here are 6 items that you'll want to add to your list!
Journal: Camps are chock-full of good-memory- making, and your camper will want to remember as many details as possible! So they should keep a journal handy and jot down a few thoughts every night before bed. These memories will be precious in years to come!
2. Pajamas: Pajamas are crucial at summer camp, as there’s a lot of socializing that happens well after bedtime! Having fun and comfy PJs is a must-have for camping kids—especially in cooler mountain temperatures.
3. Simple Games: Generally speaking, camps have lots of downtime. Having simple games at the ready is a great way to make friends! So pack some dice, a deck of cards, or even some mad libs—they don’t take up much room but provide plenty of on-the-spot fun.
4. Headlamp: Just a “heads-up” about headlamps! Flashlights are all very well and good, but…. hands have to hold them! A good headlamp is a great alternative. Not only do they leave hands free, the new LED style have batteries that can last all summer long!
5. Postage and Self-Addressed Envelopes: Encourage your camper to write home—the old fashioned way! Let them discover the thrill of sending and receiving letters. And when a camping kid meets a new BFF at camp, they can hand over a few self-addressed envelopes and be all set to continue a fun pen-pal relationship!
6. Treats and Snacks: Pre-packaged treats and snacks are always a good idea, whether sharing a snack with a bunkmate or making a friendly wager during those card games. Food and fun go hand-in-hand, at camp or wherever you are!
So there you have it—Lazy One’s top six picks for summer camp items you might not have on your regular checklist. Have a fun and safe season of memory making! | 2019-04-18T16:54:42 | https://www.lazyone.com/articles/fun-activities/6-items-add-your-summer-camp-packing-list/ |

In the Aegean/Mediterranean region crossroads were sacred to Hecate, Triformis, and Diana . Ovid, an ancient Roman writer, speaks of Hecate as having three faces with which to guard the crossroads as they branched out. Verro, another ancient writer, equated Diana with Hecate and stated the images of Diana were stationed at the crossroads. Other writers of the period called this goddess Artemis-Hekate, and attributed the mother goddess aspect to her.
The crossroads are likewise associated with the ancestral spirits called Lasa or Lares. These beings were originally thought to be spirits of the forests and meadows, the fairy folk, and spirits of Nature. With development these spirits became associated with the cultivated fields, and eventually the Lara became protectors of the family and home, and associated with the hearth.
Also, in the archaic Roman religion small towers were constructed at crossroads, and an altar was placed before them upon which offerings were laid. Such towers were associated with Nature spirit worship and demarcation. Possibly this may be the foundation of the concept of Watchtowers within modern Witchcraft.
Since classical times the crossroad has been a favored place for Witches to gather because of its link to Nature spirits and the moon goddess. When the symbolic crossroads were Christianized they became symbols of dread. Crossroads become the construction sites for gallows, and suspended gages that contained bodies of criminals. Also, suicide victims, who were not permitted burial in hallowed churchyards, were frequently buried near a crossroad. Then too, the Judaic-Christian Devil was said to hover near crossroads. All of this, of course, helped to defile the sacred grounds where Witches gathered. A.G.H. | 2019-04-25T16:37:19 | https://www.themystica.com/crossroad/ |

I will be interested to see how well the author has discussed the canal within a regional framework. Diana Wright, for example, published two posts presenting Australian and New Zealand accounts from April 1941 (here and here), which highlighting the Isthmus as a bridge for the Anzac retreat from Athens through the Peloponnese, and, then, later, a German prisoner of war camp. In the Eastern Korinthia Survey, we documented quite a few German gun emplacements and bunkers across the ridges and capes of the Corinthian Isthmus that give a sense of the German investments. The images below were taken at Akra Sophia not far from the canal. | 2019-04-23T06:06:46 | https://corinthianmatters.com/2015/08/18/target-corinth-canal/ |
EUREKA, Utah — Authorities believe they have found the bodies of two Utah teenagers who disappeared late last year, according to KSTU.
Officials with the Utah County Sheriff's Office, Juab County Sheriff's Office and Unified Fire Authority discovered the bodies Wednesday afternoon as they conducted a search at Tintic Standard #2, an abandoned mine east of Eureka.
Search crews found the bodies by lowering a camera into the mine. They found the bodies on a ledge about 100 feet into the 1,800-foot mine shaft.
Riley Powell and his girlfriend, Brelynne "Breezy" Otteson, were reported missing on Dec. 30, 2017, and last seen in the Eureka area heading west out of town.
The pair's Jeep was later found near Cherry Creek Reservoir.
The bodies will be transported to the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner for identification.
Police said foul play was "strongly suggested" in the teens' disappearance.
Officials have identified a person of interest, but have not released that person's name to the media. | 2019-04-20T06:22:46 | https://cw39.com/2018/03/29/bodies-found-in-abandoned-utah-mine-believed-to-be-missing-teens/ |
On September 19, six Oracle employee volunteers introduced 21 kids of the Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Club to the game of cricket.
Boys and girls aged 6-9 were invited to the fitness center located at the Oracle headquarters in Redwood Shores, California. The session was coordinated by Nadia Gruny, member of the USA Women’s National cricket team and led by Rajendra Badadare, former USA Under 15 National Boys team coach.
To some kids, cricket was not an entirely new sport. One American student was overheard explaining to his friend that he cannot drop the bat when running. They all were very enthusiastic about learning the game with some demonstrating a natural affinity to the sport.
The Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Club received a free cricket set courtesy of the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA). The session ended with a small pizza party.
The objective of the cricket session as described by Gruny was to pilot the use of Oracle employee volunteers to teach cricket while generating interest among kids in the local community. More cricket development plans are in the making for the near future.

Looking for the perfect appetizer for this autumn? Look no further! Today we are glad to present you a recipe that you can use during this weekend with your kith to remember when you spent those marvelous days in Barcelona, or to prepare to the ones coming!
Of course, there are many variations of this traditional dish, as its ingredients are very combinable with others as chorizo or bacon instead of ham; and sometimes even tomato.
It’s a healthy and tasteful Mediterranean plate, typically served warm but suitable to eat all year-round.
The best part is that preparation and cooking time takes around 30 minutes, which is great.
In a small saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic previously minced and once it’s starting to get the tan, add the Iberian ham chopped into little pieces. Once it is tanned or browned, you move it apart in a separate dish.
In the meanwhile you can boil water and start boiling the green beans.
Once the green beans are boiled (5-10 minutes), in the same saucepan that you used before, throw them previously cleaned and strained, and cook them for 10 or 15 minutes.
Just before moving away the saucepan from the fire, add the chopped tomato and leave it for 3-5 minutes until it becomes a little bit dryer.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and while is hot, add the pieces of Iberian ham and the minced garlic and mix it.
Check out our other blog posts for more traditional recipes, perfect for any time of year! | 2019-04-19T19:09:06 | https://hotelarclarambla.com/fr/blog/green-beans-ham-catalan-starter/ |
One economist believes the second successive month of falls in the number of consents for new houses and apartments is surprising, particularly in the accelerating Auckland housing market.
Official figures show the number of dwelling consents decreased a seasonally adjusted 3.8 percent, to 2108 in January.
Excluding volatile apartment numbers, permits issued fell 7.5 percent.
A senior economist at Westpac Michael Gordon said higher house prices, a rising population and stronger efforts by policymakers to stimulate house building should be prompting more consents.
Statistics New Zealand said the trend showed consents were rising and it was at its highest level since July 2007, if apartments were included.
The department said the trend was flat once apartments were excluded.
The Finance Minister has announced 5000 new homes for the Tamaki area of Auckland over the next decade.
There is an early setback to the Auckland Council's ambition to curb urban sprawl, with only limited backing from an independent panel considering the city's development blueprint. | 2019-04-26T00:11:03 | https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/business/267298/building-consents-fall-in-january |

Employers should be aware that, where they provide different levels of PHI benefit through a flexible benefits scheme, this may mean that only part of the PHI benefits being paid to an employee can be offset against a loss of earnings claim against the employer.
In Colt Technology Services Ltd v Brown, the employee had opted for 75% salary PHI when he could have chosen to reduce this to 50% and take a higher salary. As a result of workplace discrimination, he went on long-term sick leave receiving 75% salary. When calculating the loss of earnings arising from his successful discrimination claim, the EAT ruled that the employee had indirectly contributed to the PHI premiums for the top up from 50% to 75% cover, and therefore only PHI based on 50% salary should be deducted. | 2019-04-19T13:39:50 | https://hsfnotes.com/employment/2018/07/09/uk-compensation-impact-of-flexible-phi-options-on-loss-of-earnings-claim/ |

When starting a new life as an expatriate, it’s the little things that can be the hardest. Moving to Spain is one of the best decisions you can make, but it’s not all sun, sea, and sangria.
As many new and old arrivals will mention, the so-called “life-admin,” including registration, utility bills, and permits, can be a major drain on your time, energy, and finances. The best way to approach this in a country like Spain is to be proactive, positive, and organised.
International auto insurance is one area where it pays to be even more prepared. As an expatriate in Spain, there are legal obligations when it comes to your car insurance.
Additionally, car insurance does not work the same way as it does in say, the UK or the US, with the terms, premiums, and laws different vastly in some respects. Here’s everything you need to know about getting car insurance in Spain.
As with most European car insurance, you are legally required in Spain to make sure your vehicle is fully insured. Penalties for not doing so are steep and can range from a large fine to actual prison time.
That being said, it’s estimated that over two million drivers in Spain are uninsured, one of the highest numbers in Europe. This makes it all the more vital that you have insurance.
If you’ve taken out overseas auto insurance before your arrival in Spain in another EU/EEA country, then you’re covered for your first six months. After this, you will need to register your car with the Spanish authorities and get Spanish insurance.
Once you can no longer rely on your auto international insurance, it’s time to get some local car insurance.
Third party insurance is the bare minimum mandated by law (seguro obligatorio). You’ll need to be aware of what kind of coverage you’re getting and if it fits the needs of you and your passengers. It is highly recommended that you take out unlimited third-party insurance, which should cost an extra 40 euros a year.
After this, there is roadside assistance (asistencia en viajes) and fire and theft (incendio y robo). But your best bet is to go for fully comprehensive insurance, also known as todo riesgo.
Age, experience, and driver record.
In addition, you will also be able to get quick and easy short-term coverage if you aren’t in Spain for long, although this will be expensive.
To learn more about getting the right car insurance in Spain or to navigate other types of insurance you’ll need in this country, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today.
We’re here to provide all of the expert advice you need.

Senior business leaders are finally seeing the link between competitive advantage and great customer experience; they’re also beginning to understand digital is the way to achieve both. With so many digital tools and channels to choose from, knowing how to prioritise your approach to customer experience is only half the battle.
Ahead of our session at CRM for charity communicators we’ll share a sample of our CARE model of customer experience (CX), which asks four fundamental questions about your organisation’s Culture, Analysis of data and how Rational and Emotional your interactions with your supporters are.
By answering these four fundamental questions you can begin to assess how well equipped your organisation is to survive, change and meet your supporters’ evolving needs. You’ll also know if the experience you are providing makes your organisation: Endangered, Exposed, a Challenger or a CX Champion.
Do your organisation’s values match the needs of your modern day supporters?
Too many organisations see digital as a way of cutting staff out of interactions rather than a way of freeing them to help customers elsewhere: in person, on the website or social media.
Ultimately what’s needed is a new service design strategy, backed at CEO level, which uses digital to deliver both your mission statement and what supporters want.
Is your organisation gathering and reacting to the right data?
Organisations need to be prepared to fix problems, not just capture them in surveys and file them away. When changes in supporter behaviour are spotted, you need to make sure your offers and services are primed and ready to adapt.
Most organisations need a new data strategy in today’s connected world. The strategy needs to be paired with staff who are empowered at customer level to tailor offers and resolve issues as they arise.
How does your core offer stack up to the competition?
Service and product interactions should meet core needs and be hassle-free, regardless of what department or channel the supporters are engaging with – but this is rarely the case.
People expect to deal with one organisation, not multiple isolated sites and sub brands. For this to work the business needs joined up backend IT systems, a unified web presence, and most importantly, sub-brands to be non-competing and collaborative.
Is your organisation elevating and delighting your supporters?
Digital done right means your supporters feel valued and remembered. But many organisations find it hard to strike the right balance between entertaining users and using digital to actually deliver organisational value.
By breaking down a project into smaller cycles you can regularly review outputs, and employ user testing in real environments to incrementally improve interactions, while keeping in line with organisational goals.

The PaRC brings together academics and students from across different disciplines to share their Pacific knowledge, experience and networks.
The research community will provide a strong resource for La Trobe University and for the broader Pacific community in Melbourne, including academics from other institutions.
La Trobe senior lecturer Dr John (Jack) Taylor is the chair of the PaRC steering committee and an anthropologist who studies in Vanuatu.
“The Pacific is already an area of research strength at La Trobe University. The PaRC and the newly formed Pacific Student Association (PSA) will create a strong sense of belonging for Pacific students at La Trobe and encourage more students to study here,” Dr Taylor said.
As part of La Trobe University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, PaRC will also be delivering a four-part public seminar series throughout 2017. The aim of the seminars is to re-energise debate about the Australia-Pacific relations. Speakers from the Pacific will cover issues including art and activism; climate change; youth and culture; and health and social change.
Associate Professor Chris Roche, Director of the Institute for Human Security and Social Change at La Trobe is an international development specialist who has engaged with the Pacific for many years.
“By bringing everyone together in the PaRC we are creating something unique that will increase the university’s research quality and impact. It will also strengthen our collaborations with partner organisations in the Pacific,” Associate Professor Roche said.
The official launch of the PaRC and PSA was held on March 16. | 2019-04-18T16:31:40 | https://www.latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/2017/release/la-trobe-strengthens-pacific-engagement |

Hi, I am on fedora-29. The computer is 50% of the time behind a corporate proxy, 50% of the time without proxy.
The user account I normally use is part of the wheel group and can use sudo successfully.
In the network without proxy, after changing environment variables, I can use curl, browsers, etc without problems. I can use sudo to perform system changes successfully. But I cannot use dnf.
I do not understand where is this proxy setting being pulled from. If I change to root, dnf works as expected.
I can install packages only from root. I can remove packages from any account... it only fails when trying to reach out.
I have reviewed everything I can think of. Am I missing something?
Do you configure you corporate proxy in Gnome's settings (in Network section)?
Also to clarify: do dnf fail when you're behind the proxy, or when you're not?
Also you can try curl -v 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/met...' in the same setting and see if curl itself is successful or not, and if not -- does it tell you something useful.
Hi, I am not running Gnome, but Mate. For my user, Mate's "Network Proxy Preferences" is set to use a proxy.pac endpoint that is only reachable when I am in the corporate network. The file /etc/environment also has proxy configuration that shows up as http_proxy/https_proxy/no_proxy environment variables. When I am not in the corporate network, I run a script that unsets them. This strategy allows my user to run curl successfully everywhere (in/out corporate net) dnf works inside the corporate network, but not outside. If I understand where dnf gets this proxy from, I can fix it in the scrip.
I don't use proxy, so there's quite a small chance I can offer something useful, only if it's something generic enough, or something like looking with a fresh eye.
Observation 1. env and sudo env do give somewhat different results on my system. Am I correct in reading from you post/comment that curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f29&arch=x86_64' does get mirror list successfully?
How about sudo curl the_same_url?
Also you can try sudo -i dnf install *something* (-i sets the environment to more closely resemble user's one).
There can be some other switches to sudo that have something to do with environment variables, I don't know any of the top of my head, but that can be explored too.
Second suggestion is to try something like sudo NO_PROXY=* dnf install *something*, i.e. manually saying any proxies should not be used for this call of dnf.
Basically, the main idea is that environment is a bit different when you call for example curl and sudo curl.
Also from all I see you should be able to recreate the same behavior (i.e. errors) with just calling curl, not dnf itself. | 2019-04-23T18:50:12 | http://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/134985/dnf-fails-to-install-for-some-user-due-to-unknown-proxy-setting/ |
Do not package dried foods for storage until they are completely cool to the touch. The air surrounding the warm dried food will hold more moisture content, which is then released when it cools. You could end up with droplets of water in your storage container, which will reduce the shelf life of the dried food.
Dried fruits must be conditioned before they can be stored. You need to place them loosely packed in jars. Shake the jars once a day for seven to 10 days. During the conditioning period, if you see condensation in the jar, you should send the fruit back to the dehydrator for further drying.
Store dried foods in air-tight containers or freezer bags. You can use a jar with an airtight seal, which can become decor as well as storage. If you use plastic bags, they should be freezer bags, which are thicker than simple sandwich bags.
If using freezer bags, be sure to remove all air from the bag before sealing.
Vacuum-sealing will give you the best shelf life as it removes air, keeping moisture and mold away from the dried food. It is worth getting a vacuum sealer if you are going to dry food.
Store sulfured fruit in non-metal containers or put it in a plastic bag before placing it in the metal container. Otherwise, the sulfur will react with the metal and can produce off-flavors.
Store dried foods in small batches to maintain freshness and to minimize the risk of contamination. Storing individual servings will ensure you aren't opening and closing the container, introducing air that can lead to molding and spoilage.
Label each container with what it is and the date it was packaged. You don't want to have a bunch of mystery items on your shelves, and you will be able to use the older items before they begin to lose their freshness.
Store containers in a cool, dry and dark location. A temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 15 degrees Celsius (or less) is best. Exposure to light will degrade dried foods, so if you store jars out on your counter or shelves, expect to use the food sooner rather than later.
Dried fruits and herbs can be stored for up to a year.
Dried vegetables and meats can be stored for up to six months.
Store dried foods in the freezer if you'd like to use them over a longer period of time.
If condensation appears inside one of the containers of your home-dried food, it needs to be dried again.
Store items so the older items are in front or on top so you can use them up while they are still of good quality.
To preserve freshness, store opened containers of dried foods in the refrigerator or freezer.
Inspect all dried foods before eating them, and discard anything with mold. If in doubt, throw it out. | 2019-04-23T14:43:58 | https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-store-home-dried-foods-1388331 |

I am sure it is because of my own continuing personal search for understanding that has informed my ever-changing outlook on life. Surely, the more I question, seek out answers and discern for myself what path to take, the more I find myself morphing into newer versions of my person. Such is the synchronization between my renewals and my perspective on things.
But I think what’s most important is the root from which such interpretations are made. Going back to my aforementioned regard for homosexuals, my respect for them were based on the fundamental principles of love I had grown to accept as the pillars of my existence.
In the kindness and justice of love, I couldn’t help but evolve from the discriminatory adolescent to the more understanding and accommodating man that I have become.
So I am ever grateful for my belief system, knowing how easily I might have followed other routes that might have led to even more concentrated prejudices. Also, I do appreciate the serendipitous series of events and points of learning in my life that has cumulated into the man that I am today.
Hence, there is no greater service to one’s self than the judicious business of guarding the heart diligently, because, like the Good Book put’s it, from it flows the issues of life. | 2019-04-25T15:44:58 | https://ayeole.com/2018/09/04/as-we-are-why-it-matters-a-whole-lot/?shared=email&msg=fail |
I was so excited to get to shoot Ellen and Stephen’s wedding this summer! Not only are they incredible, down to earth people, they had their reception at Berry College…my alma mater and the namesake of BerryTree Photography! You’ll see from the images how amazing their day was and what an incredible place Berry College is! Ellen and Stephen had a morning wedding and a lunch reception and then afterwards we had a blast wandering around the mountain campus of Berry and utilizing it’s breathtaking scenery for some incredible images! Make sure you check out the ones of Ellen riding piggyback in her ballgown! So classic! I loved that they were up for anything…including climbing up into a tree for a picture! I had a blast with you two! Thanks so much for allowing me to capture your day!
Earlier this fall I was super blessed to get to help capture the wedding of Colleen and Sean. My amazingly talented friend, Amber Anderson, was contracted to shoot this wedding and since I lived a mere 6 hours away, I decided to make the trip with her to help her shoot it! What better than a road trip with one of your best friends and then getting to shoot a gorgeous wedding once you reach your destination! Sometimes it’s good for the soul to step into a 2nd photographer position where you can work on shooting things differently or challenge yourself in ways you couldn’t as the primary shooter – and we had a blast together! Below are just a few of my images from the day. I hope you enjoy!
I’ve known Kathy from an online forum for the last 8 years. We’d never met in person, but Kathy told me that she loved my photography and that some day she’d get to meet me because she was hiring me if she ever got married! Seeing that Kathy lives in Portland, OR and I live in Atlanta, GA (total opposite all the way across the country from each other) I was hopefully but figured it would be a long stretch to actually make it happen. Imagine my surprise when Kathy contacted me, said she was newly engaged and the only thing she could think about was making sure I could come shoot her wedding…what an honor!
Kathy and Mike’s wedding was gorgeous, but what I remember most about their day was the amount of love that was EVERYWHERE! These two are one special couple…and along with their boys…they have a mighty special family! One of the neatest things about their day was that they included a Persian ceremony to honor Kathy’s heritage! It was so unique and just perfect! Ok…enough from me. Let’s let the pictures do the talking! Enjoy!!
Jenna and Matt are one of those couples that you instantly love. They are both laid back and incredibly calm, but also have an adventurous spirit and are up for anything! I knew this to be true when they decided to have their engagement pictures taken at the county fair…how fun! (P.S. – I can’t believe I never shared those here…they’ll be posted soon!) Their wedding day was gorgeous! Simple, and organic, with touches of gray, blue, and green scattered throughout their day. I love that instead of flowers, they used plants for their centerpieces that could then be taken home and enjoyed for years to come! The background of the Foundry at Puritan Mill provided the perfect juxtaposition of industrial and organic for a truly unique wedding that was a joy to capture! | 2019-04-23T00:40:59 | http://berrytreephotography.com/tag/wedding-photographer/ |
Adhesive Capsulitis: What Is It?
Adhesive capsulitis is the currently accepted term for one of several disorders grouped under the umbrella heading "frozen shoulder." This group includes any combination of shoulder conditions that contribute to reduced range of motion (ROM) at the glenohumeral joint, including arthritis; bone spurs; bursitis; rotator-cuff tears; and impingement syndrome. These problems occasionally lead to secondary adhesive capsulitis, but require different types of intervention for complete resolution.
Adhesive capsulitis is an idiopathic (of unknown cause or origin) problem with a peculiar and unique presentation. It typically has a long, slow, painful onset ("freezing"), followed by a period during which pain is reduced, but function is severely restricted ("frozen"), and finally, a period during which all pain subsides and function is fully or nearly fully restored ("thawing"). The entire process can take anywhere from a few months to well over a year.
Adhesive capsulitis can afflict anyone at any age, but it is seen most frequently among women in their 50s. Some researchers suggest that it affects as much as 2 percent to 3 percent of the population at some point, and somewhere between 10 percent and 15 percent of those patients may have it bilaterally.
Because the shoulder joint has less supporting connective tissue than most joints in the body, it has unparalleled mobility and a huge normal range of motion. Even the capsular ligament that links the humeral head to the glenoid fossa is looser than most joint capsules. This increases mobility, but it leaves the shoulder vulnerable to a number of injuries other joints typically don't face, because they're better protected.
When the process of adhesive capsulitis starts, the joint capsule begins to adhere to the humeral head. Sometimes, this process is secondary to another injury that limits shoulder use, but it also can occur without any discernable trauma or trigger. This time frame, during which the adhesions between the humerus and the capsular ligament progress and worsen, is the first of three stages, sometimes referred to as the "freezing" stage. The first stage of frozen shoulder can last for two to four months, and is acutely painful in both active and passive movements of the shoulder. Typically, range of motion is lost in medial rotation first, but may progress to all directions.
The second or "frozen" stage of adhesive capsulitis lasts anywhere from four months to a year. During this time, the joint capsule thickens and essentially glues itself to the humeral head - particularly the anterior portion. Although range of motion is severely limited during this time, much of the pain usually subsides.
Perhaps the most mysterious thing about adhesive capsulitis is that after many months of severely limited movement in the shoulder, and progressive formation of connective tissue adhesions between the joint capsule and humeral head, the condition begins to resolve spontaneously. The joint capsule becomes free, pain is eradicated and movement is restored. This process may take a long time; a year or more is not unusual. If completely untreated, it is likely that range of motion at the shoulder joint may not be fully re-established, but the percentage of lost function (again, this is usually in internal rotation) is often not significant enough to warrant further interference. The goal of many treatment options is to ensure that when the adhesions begin to melt, the fullest possible range of motion is recovered. | 2019-04-22T00:41:50 | http://blog.mendinghands.com/2014/06/adhesive-capsulitis-freezing-frozen.html |

That old SPAM problem | Something Odd!
I’ve just done what I should have done a long time ago – cleaned up the system addresses on our company mail server. Gone are addresses like bin, daemon, adm, lp, mail, mailman, games, and amanda. “Amanda”? That’s our backup software and only ever gets mail from an internal machine. I’ll direct them all to /dev/null eventually, but they’re collecting in /home/amanda/spam.txt for the time being.
Looking at this morning’s 1.5MB spam I counted a huge number of mails to amanda, so shutting that off should alleviate problems somewhat.
Um … only one Spam was more than your normal mail load for the day ?
I have Spam Assassin fairly well trained at this stage which is why only 1 spam got through!
My strategy of directing system mails elsewhere is working. Only 17 spams in the last 4 hours or so, but 57 spams to the “system” addresses. They’ll be going to /dev/null or maybe directly into sa-learn possibly as early as tomorrow.

Alpine knew a strange situation when he saw one. He was a peculiarity, too; a wizard on the road far from a city, looking for adventure. He didn’t stand out, though, since no one really knew he was a wizard. The woman in the corner, however, stood out like frozen laundry on a windy day.
She sat the corner farthest from the door, up against the stairway to the rooms upstairs.. She wasn’t with anyone that Al could tell and she wasn’t waitressing. It might raise a few eyebrows back in Whitney, where women had a little more autonomy, but here in the countryside of Sharka, it was a bit odd. Especially a woman so comely and so unprotected.
She was dark haired with captivating eyes that tilted up slightly. She would be incredibly stunning if she wore clothing more befitting her small stature and gained a little weight. As it were, her high cheekbones shadowed her face dramatically and her collarbones stuck out in a way closer to starvation than exoticism. Her appearance didn’t seem to bother the local men, though. Al had counted eight of them sitting at her table during the better part of an evening, a little under half the men in the tavern. The rest probably understood they were too old or too poor to have a fair chance at her hand.
The woman spoke quietly, occasionally pulling out a bag of runes. Even stranger. A piscarin, so far from the docks of a city. Was that normal for a small town in Sharka?
“We may never know,” Al said, taking a long swig.
Al waited a few minutes, then decided it was worth the entertainment, if not the education. He brought his beer over with him and asked if she minded if he sat down. She waved him to join her.
“Are you looking to have your fortune told?” she asked.
“Seems a good way to spend a few minutes,” he said, putting his beer down on the table.
“Three coppers, unless you’d like a stronger connection.” She held her hand out in front of her.
“Let’s make this interesting shall we?” He placed two coins on the table. “I will pay you one copper for the reading. If you can guess three things about me, I will give you one gold.” Why did I just wager a gold?
He nodded and slid the gold coin a thumb’s length towards her.
He slid the coin again.
He didn’t leave immediately, though. He watched her go through a series of non-verbal tries. First, she flirted with him, her eyes looking into his, then bashfully away. When that didn’t work, she grew cold, leaning back into the darkened corner with her arms crossed. Finally, she ignored him, looking around the room for her next client.
“You broke your facade,” he said after he finished his beer. Her gaze to him. “Just for a moment, I saw someone whom I found much more interesting. I’d rather talk to her and not deal with this fake piscarin thing you’re doing,” Al said, waving his hand in front of her face.
It occurred to him in that moment that the beer might be stronger than he thought.
“You’re a wizard?” she asked, looking piqued for the first time.
Al left her at the table, the woman staring ahead with a thoughtful look. He paid his tab. “What’s in that beer exactly?” he asked the bartender.
He stepped outside, stretching his limbs and pacing back and forth in front of the tavern. The sun was set for the night, but there was still enough light to silhouette the trees across the road. Flies gathered around the oil lamps in the town center, which consisted of just the tavern, a general store, an area with some stalls that suggested a daytime market, and a few houses. Frogs and insects chirped all around him. Al found it peaceful and beautiful.
The white, many paned door to the tavern creaked open and closed. He turned and saw the woman from inside standing there, her arms clasped before her.
Al waved to her as he walked back into the tavern. He walked up the stairs to his room and didn’t notice the jealous looks from all the men thinking he was the luckiest man in the world. | 2019-04-24T09:50:46 | http://forestgreenwriting.com/2017/12/14/2-8/ |
