today i woke up more sick then ever, sweating and in pain... however, after a nice hot shower my throat cleared and i decided to treat myself to a comfort food - garlic cheese bread with olives. i personally love olives, i think they go great on salads, and now i know they're even better on cheesy bread.
mmmmm, without even being cooked it looks tasty!
place your finished french bread on a cookie sheet and bake on 325 for 30 minutes. | 2019-04-20T17:15:49 | http://domesticbabe.blogspot.com/2010/10/garlic-cheese-bread-with-olives.html |
Hi there! My name is Karin and I’m wife to David, mother to Kit, Ella, and Rosie and dog mommy to Oscar. I’m passionate about being a mother, style, and what I like to call “feminist homemaking” (a.k.a. I’m a homemaker, but not because it’s expected of me ?).
I started doing Capsule Wardrobes in the summer of 2015 when Kit was only six months old (crazy how fast time goes!) and to document my journey, I started Truncation.
Mindful Motherhood, Mindful Style, Mindful Living.
So that’s where we are at!
I’m so glad you stopped by, and I hope you’ll stick around (and maybe even have a chat with me in the comments section ?). | 2019-04-23T18:46:07 | https://truncationblog.com/about/ |
Windows recently launched a feature named AppLocker . As its name suggests it simply restricts the executables and applications those can run on the system or user account.
Applocker provides different restrictions according to following situations.
Which user have access to the application?
Which users can install new application?
Which application versions can be installed?
How to audit licensed application?
In security world there is very popular technique named While Listing . A list of software that is secure and approved is created and only this list or inventory includes applications can be installed in to the systems. Other applications are prohibited from installed unless not excepted.
Now action starts. We will create a rule to give permission to an application to run on the windows system.
The new rules will be created with Local Group Application Editor. So we will open this editor easily by running following command in Windows run.
One of the most important part is this step. We will define and identify the application we want to rule. There is 3 type of identification technique.
Publisher information is gathered from executable verified Published meta data.
Path information is simply from which location the executable resides.
We will use file hash in this example.
In this step we will select executable files one by one or by specifying the directory the executables located. As an example we have selected 7z application. These files hashes will be calculated automatically and stored in the created rule.
As the rule vault grows and become bigger management of these rules become a nightmare. So we should select a name which is identifiable. Also we can put some description about rule.
And click to Create button on the left bottom side.
After click create we will get a warning stating that in order to prevent unexpected problems we should add default rules which are used to give required permissions to the Everyone and builtin administrators.
We have created our rule but is it enabled and works as we expect? Not because we should enable the AppLocker rules from its properties.
We can open Applocker properties window like below.
We will just enable Configured checkbox of Executable rules like below and then select Enforce rules and click Apply .
I suggest you that for the first time for a little time select Audit only. This will not enforce rules but create logs about the rules and give hints how it works and prevent accidents and lockdown. | 2019-04-26T06:19:35 | https://www.poftut.com/secure-windows-malware-unwanted-executables-applocker/ |
After lot of noise over Internet spy photos videos, Royal Enfield finally unveiled the much awaited 650cc Parallel Twin motorcycles in EICMA on 7th Nov, at about 8:30 PM IST. As per Siddhartha Lal, CEO of Enfield, the bikes will target the European market initially and later in mid 2018, expected by April 2018, will hit Indian market. With a significant improvement in power, where Royal Enfield were alleged to lack comparing the displacement of the engine, the all new aggressive looking 650cc equipped with loads of new technology and safety measurement like ABS in both wheels etc.
Lal, not confirmed any price for the bike officially, but the bike expected to be withing price range of 3.2 Lakh ex-showroom price which sounds very fair comparing the specification and the current available bikes from other brands in same cc segment.
great looking bike! very classy! just a bit heavy…? if rims are steel, alloy would save some kg’s. a two-in-one exhaust could save some kg’s too… just a thought. that’s what i would do to mine. what’s the retail price in new zealand? | 2019-04-20T16:50:40 | http://350cc.com/royal-enfield-interceptor-650-photo-specification-price-launch-date-india/ |

On hearing the readings for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, those gathered for worship this Sunday might easily regard themselves also as “sheep without a shepherd,” for whom Jesus has compassion. Like the social world from which the villagers of Galilee came to Jesus in the wilderness, the world from which contemporary worshipers come to hear his teaching is all too frequently as badly governed and managed as was Galilee under Herod Antipas. As among those guests with Herod when the head of John the Baptist was served up for food, so also amidst the conspicuous consumers of our political and economic elites, death reigns (see our comment on the readings for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost). If told to go “into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat,” as Jesus' disciples thought to instruct the gathering in the wilderness, those gathered today would be fully subject to the anxiety of providing for themselves from a market dominated by the politically powerful and the materially wealthy. Indeed, if anything, we have made a science of creating the economic circumstances that generate such anxieties for most of the people of the world.
In our often thoughtless and aggressive hoarding of the gifts of God we demonstrate again and again the anxiety of membership. We act as though we can thrive while the habitats and organisms that feed us can languish and die. In a fit of ecological amnesia, we have forsaken our natural neighborhood and abdicated our responsibility to care for them. Having forfeited the opportunity to share in God’s delight in a world wonderfully and beautifully made, we now find ourselves eating through a sick and poisoned world (Food and Faith: A Theology of Eating. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2011, p. 89).
today's global, free-market economy guarantees that we will disregard, diminish, and destroy the larger economy of creation, and so deprive ourselves of the experience of home. It does this by (1) encouraging patterns of life that keep us from seeing and correctly interpreting where we are, and by (2) forming groups of people who, because of their habits and dispositions, find it very difficult to live into any place with sympathy, affection, responsibility, and joy. Paradoxically, the economic disciplines and practices that are supposed to help us live long and well within our homes are now largely responsible for ensuring that we will live perpetually in a state of exile (Wirzba, p. 90).
Indeed, he argues, “the success of today's consumer economy depends on the inattentiveness of its consumers. Very few people appreciate the extent to which their shopping decisions contribute to the degradation of the world's ecosystems. Fewer still understand how this ecological degradation has the potential to catastrophically jeopardize long-term food safety and sustainability.” Meanwhile, as global food production becomes ever more securely tied to the profit-driven interests of multinational corporations, “land, water, minerals, energy, genetic diversity, as well as the many forms of social capital, are consolidated and then managed by a small number of elites. Because poor people cannot afford to enter the global economy, they are easily abandoned and forgotten, or they are made the objects of charity and relief efforts.” (Wirzba, p. 95).
The key point is that this whole development of the way we “provide for ourselves” is a long-term, intentional transformation of human culture. People have been taught “to think differently about human behavior and the aims of a good human life.” What “the great moral and spiritual traditions” once regarded as vices “—pride, greed, prodigality---“ have been “transformed into economic virtues,” so that “Adam Smith's ideas about production, acquisition, and work “ could take hold. In a fundamental “redefinition of self-interest” people have come “to measure personal worth in terms of private wealth”; then it “is a short step from the legitimation of self-interest to the enshrinement of competition and destruction as the normal, even necessary, courses of economic life” (Wirzba, p. 99).
includes also the present assembly of hearers of the story. Once again, even this fragment of the feeding story is a secret epiphany of the Crucified and Risen One—indeed, an epiphany of the shepherd God –present in the midst of the church. . . . . the ‘shepherd's' profound compassion is already the beginning of food for the crowd, a food radically different from anything that Herod served in the immediately preceding narrative[p. 114]. . . . Can given-away, mercy-filled food lead? Yes.” (“Pentecost,” in New Proclamation Year B, 2000, pp. 113-14).
So, “let the sermon announce the judgment of God on false leadership, including the preacher's own,” admonishes Lathrop, while announcing the gathering, wall-destroying, death-destroying leadership of God, present in the grace, leisure, and life—in the food-–that is here given away. And let the assembly be a temple for that God, for the holy Trinity, the God of boundless compassion” (Lathrop, p. 115).
Further development of these theological themes awaits as for the next five Sundays we turn to the narrative of the feeding by the “Bread of Life” from chapter six of the Gospel of John. Lest we leave too quickly the down-to-earth implications of the prophetic critique of leadership, however, our second lesson from Paul's letter to the Ephesians reminds us that the shepherding of God has implications for the gathering's understanding of itself: as Lathrop summarizes the remarkable images for the church contained in the reading, “The church is a union of the far-off and the near, with the wall torn down and the law which divided abolished (2:14-15). It is indeed the ragged crowd of the Gospel. The church is the 'household of God,' the gathered people, a single body, and yet a new-built temple (2:19-20)” (Lathrop, p. 115). That perspective is present in Mark's narrative as well: Jesus feeds both Jew and Gentile in the wilderness, where God is clearly and unquestionably the host. If, as we have been arguing in this series of comments on the lections for year B, Mark's narrative is about the displacement of the presence of God from the temple in Jerusalem to the person of Jesus, this “ragged crowd” is privileged by being newly at home with him in the creation given to sustain their lives.
If “all around us the memberships of creation are coming apart” (Wirzba, p. 80), what creatures “need is the healing and strengthening of memberships, a healing in which the church, understood as the continuation on Earth of Christ's practice or way of being, has a vital role to play (Wirzba, p. 147). | 2019-04-20T16:13:12 | http://www.letallcreationpraise.org/eighth-sunday-after-pentecost-in-year-b |

NSW grower and Nuffield scholar Andrew Freeth (above) will speak about on-farm grain storage at the Grains Research and Developlemt Corporation’s Grains Research Update, Perth, along with agricultural engineer Ben White.
Industry experts are gearing up for the Grains Research and Development Corporation's Grains Research Update in Perth next month.
TARGETING green weeds in green crops, observations from a Canadian farming family and the future demand for Australian grain in key export markets.
These are just some of the broader industry issues to be addressed by keynote speakers at the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Grains Research Update in Perth on Monday, February 25 and Tuesday, February 26.
‘Innovation – applying grains R&D on farm’ is one of the themes of the event and leading a discussion of precision post-emergence control of target weeds in green crops will be Guillaume Jourdain, the co-founder and chief executive officer of the French technology start-up company, Bilberry.
Using specially developed artificial intelligence algorithms Bilberry technology can recognise weeds at 60 kilometres per hour, day and night, to detect weeds within agricultural crops.
‘Green on green’ weed detection is a game changer and Mr Jourdain, who trained as an engineer, will focus on this capability and review the results that Bilberry achieved with the technology’s first users.
Other keynote speakers on the theme of innovation will be Jordan and Jennifer Lindgren, grain and oilseed producers from Saskatchewan, Canada, who aim to maximise crop production while minimising costs, by using field scale trials to determine which products, genetics and practices work on their farm.
The Lindgrens share this information with fellow growers and co-host the annual ‘Field of Dreams’ tour, which is an opportunity to share trial results from previous years and showcase current trials.
Speaking about on-farm grain storage will be grower and Nuffield scholar Andrew Freeth, Gilgandra, New South Wales and agricultural engineer Ben White, who is the Kondinin Group’s research manager, editor of Farming Ahead magazine and a member of the GRDC’s Grain Storage Extension team.
For more information on the two-day event, see a more in-depth story in this Thursday's Farm Weekly.

This morning, I received this email from a friend, who is highly concern for the Crypto world, so I felt required to share it with you guys!
Over the years, you’ve established yourselves as one of the fastest growing and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. Your high level of scrutiny before enlisting any cryptocurrency on your exchange has been the gold standard for the industry. However, your reputation in this regard may be at stake, going by the most recent news of you contemplating listing Giracoin/Girauno on your exchange.
As you may be aware, there are an endless number of fraudulent cryptocurrencies in the market, and I would like to bring to your notice the fact that Giracoin/Girauno is one such cryptocurrency. You would be well advised to carry out a thorough background check of the founders - Gian-Carlo Collenberg, Ramon Simon - of the cryptocurrency and their credentials, before taking a call on enlisting them on an exchange as reputed as Dobitrade. Do read through the inputs below and check the facts listed to support and justify this claim.
An MLM Coin, which until recently was a closed Blockchain, Giracoin/Girauno has wilfully wronged various investors, fleecing them of their hard earned money, by constantly and shamelessly leveraging their ‘Swiss’ origins. The company has time and again closed accounts of members who trusted the company with their time and money. There are various pending charges levied against Gian-Carlo Collenberg and Ramon Simon in Switzerland. One such pending lawsuit against Gian-Carlo Collenberg is that of swindling an investor of 4.5 million Swiss Francs. The founder has since resorted to a much more subtle, yet blatantly shrewd new tactic of fleecing a larger number of investors of relatively smaller amounts, so as to avoid drawing attention towards its illicit activities.
Gian-Carlo Collenberg—the CEO of the company—earlier formed a company called SwSI Medical AG that has a notorious reputation of selling defective products such as rusty and deformed cannulas, jeopardising the lives of newborn babies.
Furthermore, Gian-Carlo Collenberg is infamous for launching new companies, scamming investors and subsequently liquidating it.
Read also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4861923.0 to further back this claim.
Often, he has been known to utilize the investments of unsuspecting investors in one particular fraudulent project for funding another.
Do find attached herewith, the brochure circulated among the team, detailing the proposal of the MLM plan. Also attached for your perusal is the screenshot of the chat between the founder and networkers, explicitly advising them against posting anything in Dobitrade chat which would reveal that it is an MLM Coin.
It might interest you to know that most of the accomplished advisors who were attached with company during its inception, severed all ties with it on learning of the various scams linked to the founder and on realising that Giracoin/Girauno is also going down the same path. This information has largely been withheld from being publicised. However, you could reach out to the original team of advisors to get a better understanding of the ground reality.
Korfmann, Rytz, Schmidt, and Katz are some of the many noteworthy names that disassociated with the company shortly after its inception. You could use https://www.riskscreen.com/ or any similar service to get further insights on the founders of the coin.
I am an avid follower and user of cryptocurrency and distributed ledger technology, and truly believe in its incredible potential to do good. I haven’t a doubt that in light of the new information shared with you, you would revisit your decision of enlisting Giracoin/Girauno on Dobitrade, so as to not be linked with such a highly notorious and fraudulent company. | 2019-04-21T04:14:01 | https://bitcoinforum.com/scam-graveyard/gian-carlo-collenberg-and-ramon-simon-notorious-scammers/msg41417/ |

It may be providential that I lent my copy of Please, No Zits! to a young friend two months ago and couldn’t review it until now, because if you’re looking for a Christmas present for an LDS teen, you might consider this book. You're in luck, too, because it's on sale right now.
I gave one to each of my seminary students last year, which turned out to be a stroke of genius. I didn’t know it at the time, but the book has a couple of Christmas stories in it.
The nice thing about this book is, it’s non-threatening, since it’s a series of short stories, much as you would find in the New Era. A teen doesn’t have to worry about beginning a book they might not have discretionary time to finish.
Anne Bradshaw, author of Please, No Zits! has been published in the New Era many times, so her style will be familiar to young readers.
Parents of a family of teens will find this book good Family Home Evening material, for the stories present problems that loom large in a teen’s life, from not having a date for the New Year’s dance ("Darkness at Noonday") to the temptation to bend the rules in school ("Okay to Cheat?"). The stories are short and would be a good jumping off place for a family discussion.
My favorite story has a returned missionary facing an interesting challenge. It’s not the obvious pitfall of dishonesty or substance abuse; it’s the more common but hard-to-recognize trap of pride. I’d love to lead a discussion of older teens using that story as a beginning.
You can find out more about Anne Bradshaw and how to purchase this book by visiting Anne Bradshaw’s web site.
I’m writing this the day after Thanksgiving, and I’ve been reflecting all day on the hours of service performed by all those who prepared the Thanksgiving feast for their particular partakers, whether it was family or community or institution.
As we drove the four miles to my daughter’s house yesterday carrying our offering of fruit salad, green salad, mustard sauce and three kinds of cream pies, we passed by several homes where people were carrying pots and boxes from the car to the house. I don’t know why, but I misted up when I saw it. There’s something so very basic about bringing food to share. The menu may be different, as historians are quick to tell us, but that was basically what happened on the first Thanksgiving, wasn’t it?
The small town I live in has a community Thanksgiving dinner at the local middle school. It’s not about serving the needy or homeless, it’s about celebrating the day as a community. It’s been a tradition for twenty-five years. The person in charge this year doesn’t even live here anymore, but he came back just to direct the volunteer force of a hundred who cooked twenty-eight turkeys, hundreds of pounds of potatoes and almost five hundred rolls. In addition to those who came to the cafeteria to eat, meals were taken to homebound community members. Those who could, made a donation to cover the cost of the food, but it wasn’t necessary to pay. One of the pastors of a local church lamented, however, that the needy and impoverished families didn’t come.
A neighboring town has several places where homeless and needy can eat a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings, and food banks put boxes together with all the ingredients to make a Thanksgiving feast for their clientele. For years, the youth of my ward made pies for the dinner done by the Lighthouse Mission, and they also did pies for the local food bank’s boxes. Click here to see the blog with instructions on how to set up a pie-making service project.
Since we moved from the farm and downsized, I don’t do the meat course any more, and I kind of miss the early morning quality time, just me and the turkey, as I wrestle it from refrigerator to sink and from sink to the roaster. We always had at least a twenty pound turkey and a houseful of people.
Whatever the food group: vegetable or grain or meat, it doesn’t prepare itself magically. Planning and preparation are necessary for a celebratory feast. Here’s thanks to those who invested the hours to wash, pare, roll, stir, chop, crimp, season, baste, bake, carve, garnish and serve our Thanksgiving feasts.
Here it is! The cover for my latest book. Publication date is March 7, but we'll have some copies available before that...maybe even in time for Christmas.
Though this is fiction, the novel has its roots in my family history, and I've used pictures of the people who inspired the story on the front. Set in Depression-era New Mexico, it's about a cowboy and a lady who came from back east.
Counting the Cost is certainly a spellbinding book. Very, very good. --Dale Baker, reader.
Last time I blogged, I mentioned that Celeste Mergens has a plan broader than simply providing feminine hygiene equipment to the girls at the Academy of Hidden Talents orphanage. That plan includes a program she calls “Days for Girls”.
Reporting on the trip she just concluded, Celeste says they arrived at the orphanage with four huge duffle bags containing more than 500 "Days for Girls" sanitary kits, educational booklets and displays. They also brought the lyrics to "Walk Tall, You’re a Daughter of God", a five-gallon container of bleach, and some detergent. They planned on setting up before the program, but when they arrived, the first group of girls was in their chairs, waiting.
The focus of the program for the girls is threefold: 1) To expand their goals through education and assurance that they are daughters of God, 2) To save their lives by teaching hygiene and safety, and 3) to give them days of their lives back with the feminine kits.
Celeste began the program by showing the girls photos of Kenyan Women of Influence and describing the contribution of each. Some were mothers, some were educators, some worked in government. She ended the segment by telling the girls, "There is another woman I would like to introduce you to who will make all the difference in the world." She held up a mirror that was just the size of the photos and asked, "Do you see her?" As she held it up to the girls, scanning t he room, they cheered.
Then Sue Fleming of Goddard College, pictured at left, spoke of education and its importance.
Julie Matua co/In-country director for PEI, pictured at left, spoke of safety and not letting men trade them "trinkets for sexual favors."
Celeste spoke of predators and their behaviors and told the girls that they only way to be safe is to never be silent, and never allow others to be hurt.
After dismissing the meeting with prayer, Celeste and her team hugged each and every girl as they left. She says that was when we knew that the idea was as sound as any of us had hoped. Maybe more so, because girls began to speak up about exploitation they had suffered. Celeste and the strong team that had come to work with the girls were able to stand as advocates, working with Kenyan authorities to fill in the gaps in personal safety for the girls.
If you want to know more about Project Thrive, click here to visit the web site.
In my blog of September 26, 2008, I introduced you to Celeste Mergans, who works with Project Thrive, a part of the Clay Foundation dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for children at risk in third world countries. I also introduced you to her need at the time: 500 feminine hygiene kits for the adolescent girls at the Academy of Hidden Talents orphanage in Dagoretti, Kenya.
Celeste’s determination to come up with a cleanable/reusable kit rather than the American style disposable product was prompted by three considerations: First, with AIDs being a significant blood-borne threat, and with no solid-waste facilities available, disposal of used, western-style products would be a problem. Second, with the reusable kit, you only have to transport and deliver one package. Third, the washable kit fits the Clay Foundation model of sustainable programs. It’s easier on the planet and involves the user in the solution.
If you remember, Celeste had only a scant month to gather the 500 home-made kits she needed to take with her to Kenya.
My daughter Terry and I, swept up in the need, volunteered to spearhead 200 kits and I blogged about the need, hoping someone might see and want to help.
SWAN, a 501 (c) (3) organization, provided materials for the 200 kits Terry and I volunteered.
The ladies and kids of Sedro Woolley and Burlington (Washington) Wards pitched in to construct them.
My son’s family home evening group at BYU got together to make the bags.
Celeste reports that she got kits from people as far away as Arizona who had seen my blog on Liz Sez and joined the effort.
To all who helped, she says: “Thank you for ALL you did to make this all possible. It was, and is, miraculous.
Celeste also says that this is an ongoing need. You can go to the Project Thrive web site and find out how you can help.
I'll write more about the broader, more far-reaching aspects of Celeste's feminine hygiene kit project in my next blog.
I didn’t have an answer until after I had posted my blog for the day, and then the memories came flooding in.
I’m going to share one with you today. It’s about a casual, one-minute service that saved the day for me and increased my testimony of temple work.
Years ago, during the time I had a bakery, I did lots of my shopping at Costco. However, we didn’t have a Costco near us, so once a month, I’d drive our full-size Mercury station wagon eighty miles south to the Costco in Lynwood and load it up with supplies.
I was also Young Women’s President at the time, and since we had a temple trip scheduled, I decided to be efficient and make that trip count for both purposes. I made arrangements with my counselors to meet them at the temple, and I left early enough to allow me time to shop and then negotiate the rush-hour traffic to the temple.
As I pulled in to a parking space at Costco, I noticed that my tape deck was eating my new Lyle Lovett tape. I turned off the key, pulled out the tape, and spent five minutes repairing the damage as best I could. Then, frowning still, I grabbed my purse, clicked the electric locks, got out of the car, and swung the door closed. Just as the door latched, my mind processed the high-pitched ‘ping-ping-ping’ I’d been hearing. It was a reminder that I had left the keys in the ignition.
When I asked at the Costco service desk if someone had a coat hanger and knew how to use one, they told me to call 911, that the local police had a dedicated man for this type of situation. Looking at my watch and trying to ignore the knot in my stomach, I decided to get my supplies and then call 911.
So, I did, and within 20 minutes I was at the pay phone, sending out my SOS. Dispatch told me it would be a while. I should wait out front.
I sat on the curb and tried to prepare for entering the temple. Though I couldn’t help glancing at my watch frequently, I used my time to compose a poem about how blessed I was. Hardest poem I’ve ever attempted, not because I didn’t feel blessed, but because it seemed every rhyme I came up with was something about locked doors and time constraints.
It took an hour for the policeman to arrive. He was young and sweet and eager, but all thumbs when it came to using a Slim Jim. He worked for fifteen minutes—I know, because I was looking at my watch and calculating how long it was going to take me to get to the temple—before he finally gave up. He said electric locks were hard anyway, but these were impossible. My only recourse was to call someone at home and have them bring down the extra set of keys.
The policeman stood aside, the stranger put his key in the lock and turned it, and the doors unlocked.
I stood there with my mouth open for only a second before I flew into action. The men helped me load my goods, accepted my profuse thanks, and watched me bottom out as I pulled out of the parking lot onto the street.
After that, it was smooth sailing. I’ve never seen traffic that flowed so well at that time of day. I made it in good time, and as I sat in the temple watching those lovely young women, my stewardship, I examined the odds that that key would work and gave thanks for a stranger who heeded a prompting and made all the difference for me.
The day has not gone as planned.
I thought it was going to be a breeze: My blog is due, but I knew what I was going to write, and I figured I could get it done early and have plenty of time to get the turkey I had volunteered to cook for our Ward’s annual Harvest Dinner in the oven. I would also get the green salad for 300 done early so I wasn’t chopping romaine at the last minute.
The first thing that happened to derail things was the message on my answering machine about my doctor’s appointment on Monday that I needed to get blood work done for. Luckily, I hadn’t had breakfast yet, so I dashed into the next town where the lab was. That was an hour I hadn’t figured on spending, but that was okay, because the blog would be a breeze, and there was plenty of time for turkey and salad.
When I got ready to download the pictures I needed for my blog, they weren’t there. I don’t know how I managed to erase them from my camera, but none of the ones I took to report on a service project were there. Yikes! What to blog on now?
Well, first I figured I’d better get the turkey in the oven and—oh, I forgot, I’m watching grandkids, too, while their Mom is over at the church taking charge of getting the Harvest Dinner put together. Grandkids arrived and promptly announced they were hungry.
I fed them scrambled eggs, and I fed Grandpa at the same time, and I managed to fling the turkey in the oven just in time so it could be done by the time it had to be delivered to the church.
What to blog on? My most disastrous service project? A service that was done for me that was just right and just in time?
I contemplated what to write as I ran cucumbers, onions, peppers and celery through the food processor. Nothing seemed right. Plowing through six sacks of romaine, I tried to remember some of the brilliant blogs I had sketched in my mind as I drove to work each morning. Talk about an empty head; there was nothing rattling around there.
I had to stop in mid-chop and run pick up Lucy from school—another unplanned trip. Back in the kitchen, I hastily finished the salad and looked at my watch. Eek! Time to post my blog. But first, the turkey had to be chauffeured to the church. I stashed the hastily finished salad in two fridges and grabbed a cardboard box for the turkey pan to rest in as it rode in the passenger seat (strapped in, natch), to the church kitchen.
So, here I am. No words of wisdom about service. No great descriptions of ways to involve youth. No jazzy pictures of people involved in helping people. And, excuse me, I just heard something crash in the kitchen. I’ve got to go check on the grandkids.
I’m such a hermit. I grew up far from the center of the LDS church, attending branches in New Mexico, Wyoming and Alaska where we were lucky to have fifty people out to a sacrament meeting.
When I began writing, I practiced my craft alone, not realizing until I had published my second novel that there were wonderful writers’ groups available to help me hone my abilities as a writer and offer me the camaraderie of like souls at the same time.
American Night Writers Association (ANWA) is one such group. I blogged about ANWA and what a dynamic group it is quite a while ago. Click here to read that blog.
I belong to another group, too, called LDStorymakers. To be a member of Storymakers, you have to be LDS and a published writer. One might say that we are in competition with each other for the small pool of LDS readers, but all I’ve seen in our association is cooperation. We’re there to teach each other, to cheerlead, to advise, to commiserate, and to give a leg up, if we can.
We will yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own.
To that end, last year, LDStorymakers instituted the Whitney Awards. The object is to honor excellence in fiction by LDS writers in both general and LDS markets.
LDStorymakers is now preparing for the 2009 Whitney Awards and is sponsoring an on-line auction as a fundraiser. I hope you’ll visit the WhitneyAuction Web Site and make a purchase for a very good cause.
This Auction will run for the month of November. You are invited to check the web site often, as new items are added every day. Think Christmas as you peruse the offerings. All items, including shipping, have been donated.
Also, be thinking about the books you have read that were published in 2008 that you would like to see honored by a Whitney, because anyone can nominate a book for consideration. Check out the process on the Whitney Award Web Site.
Quite a few years ago my husband and I worked on a job doing a wastewater treatment plant for a small town in eastern Washington. He managed the job and I did the documentation. The new, state-of-the-art plant was to replace a perfectly good lagoon system. Apparently, some federal department, anticipating that the time would come when the old system would fail, ruled that the town had to replace it themselves, or the government would replace it and charge the municipal government for it. The town leaders weren’t dummies and decided it would save money, time and heartache if they did it themselves. But, that’s another story.
We moved to the town for the year and a half that the project took, and during the building of the new plant, I lived during the day in an office trailer that sat about fifty feet from one of the old lagoons.
As I said, the old system was perfectly good, and not only was there no odor from the process, but the place was teeming with wildlife. Many kinds of birds nested nearby or dropped in to feed, and large turtles thrived there and could be seen sunning themselves on rocks all around the edge.
We arrived there in the summer and got to know all the local critters who hung around, but with the coming of fall we started having avian visitors. Some were familiar: mallards and Canadian geese and even a few swans, but others were exotic, birds of a kind I had never seen.
One day we had a flock of little birds come in and settle on the water, and as they floated they would spin around in a circle with their beaks in the water. Spin, spin, spin, all day long. I grew dizzy just watching them and wondered what kind of birds they were.
A few weeks later they left, and the next fall I was gone. I never saw these birds again, but one day I was listening to Bird Note, a program offered on KPLU, our local NPR station, and I heard about these spinning birds. They are called phalaropes, and they’re a type of sandpiper that breeds in the Arctic tundra in the summer and migrates to the open ocean for the winter. I don’t know what they were doing in Eastern Washington. Maybe their inner compass said: go to the wastewater lagoon and turn right, then over the mountains and you’ll hit the sea.
On Bird Note I learned that this bird spins around once per second. This spinning forces water away from itself, which causes an upward current bringing deeper, nourishment-laden water to the surface. As it spins, the bird opens its bill, creating another surge of water that carries food into its throat.
If you’d like to see a phalarope and hear its call, you can go to the Bird Note site. There you can find out lots of interesting things about birds. Did you know that the Great Gray Owl has eyes larger than most humans’? Did you know that an owl can rotate his head 270 degrees? Did you know that the number of ‘dees’ in a chickadee’s call signals danger?
Bird Note only lasts a couple minutes each day, but I usually try to manage my commute to work so I can hear it. If I miss it, I can always visit the web site and either read the script or listen to the podcast. You can, too. Just click here.
What a great service! Thanks, Birdnote.
Several years ago, I began transcribing the letters my mother wrote me when she was in Afghanistan . Because many of them were typewritten, I thought I might be able to speed up the process by scanning those pages and using a computer program to convert the scanned pages to text. So, I invested the money in the scanner and software, and I invested lots of time in learning how.
In the end, I found that it was actually faster to type the letter into a blank Word document rather than use the scanner. The reason was, Mom’s old typewriter had a couple letters that were a little crooked and an a and an e that came through with the hole filled in. So, the scanner process missed a lot of words, and I had to go through and figure out what was supposed to be there instead of the garbled word the scanner put in.
Where was Luis von Ahn when I needed him?
Luis von Ahn is a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg. You use an invention of his each time you comment on my blog (you do comment on my blog, don’t you?), because I have a setting where you have to read a wavy word and reproduce it in the box provided. It’s an extra little step, but it’s worth it because it eliminates spam. He called this process CAPTCHA.
As Dr. von Ahn contemplated this process, he came up with two conclusions. The first was that each time someone typed in one of these wavy words, the brain was performing an amazing task, one that no computer could do. The second was that the combined time and keystrokes all the people on the internet wasted performing this little security measure was mind boggling. He figured it came to about half a million hours every day.
So, he set out to find a way to harness all that human brain power, time and keystrokes.
He thought of all the libraries’ efforts to digitize their collections so they can make them universally available. The process they use is very like the one I tried with my mother’s letters. And, like me, they end up with words that the computer can’t decipher. A human being has to look at those words and decode them.
Dr. von Ahn came up with the idea of using something very like CAPTCHA, but instead of having one word to decipher, you would have two. One would be a regular test word used by CAPTCHA; the other would be one of the words that a computer hadn’t been able to read that needed a human to decipher it. That word would be given to several people. If they all agree what word it is, then that is the word that will go into the digitized copy of the book or newspaper that it came from.
Dr. von Ahn says that the number of words already transcribed by this process is something over a billion.
Dr. von Ahn calls this technique reCAPTCHA. It’s used by Facebook and Twitter, among others. Just think, every time you use it, you’re helping to digitize the entire library of the New York Times!
I heard about reCAPTCHA on All Things Considered on NPR last August. Check out the program transcript. It’s such a great service to America, the digitizing of whole libraries, that I thought I’d find article after article about it on the internet, but I didn’t.
So I’m writing about it. In a few years, when we have access to books and newspapers from the last century or two with a few keystrokes, we’ll have Dr. von Ahn to thank for expediting the process. | 2019-04-20T19:13:30 | http://sezlizadair.blogspot.com/2008/ |
Barack Obama…he would be a good conversationalist, and probably much calmer than me.
Uno. It’s a family tradition.
What songs do you feel compelled to sing along with, even if you don’t totally know all the words?
This is a trick question, right? There are about a hundred of these that I could name. However, “Strangelove” by Depeche Mode and “Young Blood” by The Naked & the Famous are always guaranteed to get a singalong. | 2019-04-21T20:25:02 | https://www.mbooth.com/about/team/michelle-overall/ |
At the beginning of the summer, we visited community number one here in Africa. This past week, we had the awesome opportunity of going back for one last visit. Between those two times, God drastically flipped my world upside down.
So here we go! During our first stay in this community, I had no clue what to expect, or why I was even here this summer. Why was I chosen for this? A young college student, who definitely didn’t have his priorities straight—why would God choose someone like that to serve Him and further His Kingdom for an entire summer in Africa? But at about this point, after a few long days and long nights, God began to reveal Himself to me in crazy ways. Sick of dealing with these lies in my head, I sought out a staff member who gave me Ephesians 1:1-13. God revealed to me that I am chosen, holy, blameless, and loved. These small pieces of truth played out well in my head, but I absolutely did not believe them in my heart as I walked with God.
I prayed and prayed that God would help me believe these truths in my heart. So as I constantly reminded myself of these truths, and studied more of God’s word about my true identity in Him, head knowledge gradually transferred to heart knowledge. And that’s when God spoke to me in a way He never has before. We were having a night of worship, and we began to sing a song that I had been thinking about earlier that day. Immediately God flooded my mind with an image of Him reaching out His righteous right hand towards me and then I saw myself in pure white clothes, and I took His hand, and we walked into a green pasture. So needless to say, God absolutely ROCKED my world in that moment. My prayers had been answered and God showed me that He heard me. He heard my cries out to Him and He showed me that I am chosen, holy, blameless, and loved by Him. No matter what sinful nature I possess, no matter what I might think of myself and no matter where I’ve been placing my identity, The Lord has chosen me for such a time as this. He sees me as chosen, holy, and blameless, and He loves me more than I can ever understand. And that’s when I realized what God was going to do with my summer. I kept receiving more and more truth about myself, and my identity in Christ. He taught me how to walk, but more importantly He taught me how to walk in perfect truth throughout the rest of my time in the communities.
After wrestling so intensely in our first community, I was very interested to see what God was going to do with my time visiting that community again this past week. But once again (as always) God rocked my world. The word ‘abide’ constantly came up in my day to day quiet time with The Lord. It became clear that God was trying to get my attention. So I began to study it. What does abiding look like in my life? Or on a more real note, what does that even mean? I went to God in prayer, and He has gradually revealed what that looks like for me. As I have been abiding in Him daily, I’ve been able to see God’s faithfulness so clearly. I went from believing lies that didn’t belong in my life at all, to believing and walking in truth that The Creator of the universe has thought about me all along. Have I perfected the act of fully believing that truth every day? Definitely not. But through abiding in Him, I have been able to conquer so much, and discover how God really sees me as His SON.
You know, it’s funny. All summer I’ve been teaching kids through various arts and crafts how they are unique and special, and how God has chosen them to be His son or daughter. But do I even believe that about myself? At this point in the summer, I won’t be able to teach the virtue of uniqueness again in anymore classrooms. I won’t be able to look absolutely ridiculous in front of a classroom anymore, with God’s children smiling at Kate, Hannah, Jay and me as we tell them they’re unique and special. But as I look back at God’s incredible faithfulness, I keep seeing how God has used those moments in the classroom to shape me, and to reveal to me how He sees me, too. Walking through the classroom in one of our teaching sessions, a child wrote on his paper that he is ‘fearfully and wonderfully made.’ God planned for me to see what that little boy was writing on his paper. Sometimes, God works in the little details. And if we just look for them, and if we just look for Him in everything we do, He will rock our worlds in the craziest ways. | 2019-04-23T08:08:52 | http://choosetoinvest.org/blog/2733 |

(Natural News) Be careful where you breathe in California; several cities in this state have the worst air pollution in America.
In their annual “State of the Air” report, the American Lung Association revealed that the city of Bakersfield, Calif., had the worst spikes of short-term air pollution. The city also ranked among the worst in terms of year-round air pollution and ozone pollution, second only to Visalia, Calif., and Los Angeles, respectively. The cities of Fresno, Calif., Modesto, Calif., and San Francisco were also named as having some of the worst short- and long-term air pollution.
“No state has done more to address air pollution than California has done over the last 50 years. But they also have the biggest problems,” stated Paul Billings, Senior Vice President of Advocacy at the American Lung Association. Billings then went on to add that California’s growing population and topography were what allowed air pollution to bypass the state’s strict environmental laws, reported USAToday.com. The Central Valley—which includes Bakersfield, Visalia, Fresno, and Modesto—has been described as “topographically cursed” because its flat bowl shape traps air pollution that accumulates over time.
“Nearly year-round sunny skies also don’t help: those picture-perfect days are a major factor in high levels of ozone pollution,” Billings also said.
Constant exposure to unhealthy levels of air pollution have detrimental effects on the human body. Among the risks are premature death, asthma attacks, lung cancer, and cardiovascular damage. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.2 million people are killed annually by urban air pollution. However, recent studies have shown that air pollution can do more than afflict a person with serious lung and heart ailments.
Researchers from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health discovered that children born to economically-deficient pregnant women, who were also exposed to high levels of air pollution, scored low on IQ tests. One specific type of air pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), was found to be the most deadly to unborn children.
“The group with high levels of PAH-DNA cord adducts significantly scored lower on tests of full scale IQ, perceptual reasoning, and working memory compared to those children with lower levels of adducts,” stated the researchers, who first published their study in the journal Neurotoxicology and Teratology.
In addition to the threat to unborn children, air pollution can also considerably damage the minds of people by increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.
Researchers from the University of Southern California reported that older women who lived in areas with elevated levels of “ultrafine particles” were twice as likely to develop dementia. A research team from the University of Toronto in Canada discovered that people who lived within 50 meters of a major road were 12 percent more susceptible to acquiring the disease. Even animals weren’t safe from the effects of air pollution; a neuroscientist learned that older dogs in Mexico City, particularly those who lived polluted areas, had brains that contained ample protein deposits associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Although they might not know it, many Californians are putting themselves at risk by stepping outside their homes. Even with the strict air pollution laws in place, the problem continues to persist. Only time will tell if these cities will get better or if their people will begin feeling the effects of the Californian smog.

Is that a city I see in the distance?
This afternoon I decided to walk across ANZAC Bridge. Almost every weekend I stretch my legs over the Sydney Harbour Bridge but today I decided it was time for a change.
Walking from Town Hall to ANZAC Bridge I got myself a little bit lost through the back streets of Pyrmont but eventually managed to find the pedestrian access to the bridge.
The bridge is a marvel. When Sydney builds something they typically do it in a way that simply takes your breathe away. I simply love the fact that all the major Sydney landmarks are easily accessible by foot it is something that other cities (hint hint Auckland) still need to learn.
Overall the walk from Town Hall across the Bridge and return took just over an hour and is about 6km. It is a decent but busy walk but is a lot less tourist crazy than the Harbour Bridge.
Below are some photos I took along the way.
I have just finished reading Brian “Head” Welch’s Stronger – Forty Days of Metal and Spirituality. The book is a forty day devotional consisting of a few scriptures and then a few pages of either commentary or stories from Welch about how these scriptures have impacted his life.
This is the second Welch book I have read (see here my comments on his first) and like his previous work this book comes across in an easy to read style that engages the reader in a way that they can relate to. This is what makes Welch’s work particularly good, this is a book about God written not by a high and mighty spiritual perfectionist but instead by a guy who has been on top of the secular world and seen his world crumble all around him and somehow in all the mess, the drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll he found God who has given him a whole new perspective on life.
Overall, Stronger gives an excellent insight into the struggles of everyday life but also how you can live your life with God in control without coming across as some weird ultra-religious zealot. I would recommend anyone who struggles with how they can keep their faith real and relevant in modern society to pick up this book and give it a read, it is short but will challenge the depth of your soul.
Over the last few weeks a revival has happened in New Zealand politics – but not a good revival. On both the left and the right of the political spectrum we have seen a return to the 80s in both politics and politicians.
Let’s start with the Act Party. Strange things happen in politics sometimes. But you can’t get much stranger than Don Brash, former leader of the National Party who is no longer an MP and not a member of the Act Party demanding that Rodney Hide, current Parliamentary leader of the Act Party resign and give the leadership to him or else he will ‘destroy them‘. Out of this coup we have seen the undead zombies of Rogernomics arise with cries of “sell it, sell it, sell it all”.
Meanwhile in the land of the loony left we have the rise of the Mana Party. Rebel former Maori Party MP, Hone Harawira has broken every promise he has made to start this party which features such great minds as Sue Bradford, Matt McCarten and John Minto. The key policy planks of Mana seems to revolve “buy it, buy it, buy it all”. They want to nationalise all monopolies and duopolies and tax and tax and tax everyone into equal poverty.
That is exactly how I feel. At the moment the NZ National Party wants to step back in time and see MMP removed and replaced with essentially FPP on steroids. Both the extreme left and right parties want to return to the past as well… as for Labour… well where have they been for the last three years? Let alone now… who knows that they stand for or want?
Personally I wonder if the success in the revival of 80s politics is actually a result of the failure of my generation to stand for what they believe in. Political apathy amongst my peers is high. No one cares about politics because ultimately many of them feel that no matter what they do, nothing will change. We see National governments and we see Labour governments and essentially they do the same thing… talk, talk, talk, build a white elephant here and hey presto throw in a big sports tournament and we have another three years gone.
Wasted money on white elephants and sports tournaments are enough to get old people angry enough to go to the extremes to try and make a difference. But for many young people making a difference is a turn off. The world won’t change in the typing of a status message on Facebook so therefore it isn’t worthwhile doing.
As a result, we find ourselves where we are today, a generation of young people who are being neglected because politicians know we don’t care and therefore they don’t need to cater to our needs. They know they can simply hold a sports event every three years which will get us drunk enough to forget about our real needs. And unfortunately by the time we wake up from this hangover we will be bearing the consequences of this neglect for many years to come. | 2019-04-20T07:03:09 | https://brad.net.nz/blog/2011/05/ |
Here at ST Towers we like when commentators put their supposed neutrality to one side and show their true allegiances.
There's no doubting whose side this broadcaster was on during Liverpool's match with Stoke. You might want to turn down your volume a little, as the commentator pumps his up, after Rickie Lambert's header hits the bar and Glen Johnson scores the winning goal. | 2019-04-20T14:45:25 | https://sabotagetimes.com/football/excited-commentator-get-shouty-as-liverpool-snatch-winner |
As I prepare Personal Notes for each Sunday, I first reread Personal Notes for the previous four cycles. For those receiving weekly copies of Personal Notes, prior cycles are available at http://www.western-civilization.com/CBQ/Personal%20Notes/Personal%20Notes.htm. At this point, the Reformation Commentary on Scripture has had sufficient opportunity for me to realize nothing there stirs the depths of my soul.
Stirring the depths of my soul for prayer is the purpose of Personal Notes. As best I can tell, there is no ecumenical benefit for the Reformation Commentary, either. This means I intend to shift attention away from the Reformation Commentary and back toward articles in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, with particular attention to the Gospels, because the Gospels is where Sunday sermons focus.
Recent theology shifts from the Synoptic view of Jesus in his human personality. For the Synoptics, the crucifixion marks the death of the human Jesus. The resurrection is central both to the Synoptics and the Liturgy of the Word.
The theological shift is to Jesus in his Divine personality. For John, the crucifixion marks the love of God for humanity. For John, the crucifixion marks new life, the Holy Spirit, handed on to the Faithful. The Synoptics write to foster faith in the risen human Christ; John writes to foster faith in the eternal Divine Christ.

At the same time that Jesus designates his mother as mother of the church, he designates the beloved disciple, John, as her son. Thus, John is the witness leading many sons and daughters of the church to belief in the divinity of Christ, just as Peter is the witness leading many sons and daughters of the church to belief in his risen humanity. This can be ascertained from John 20:30-31 (used here), where John states the purpose of his Gospel (recognized by K. on pp. 233 and 266).
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name” (John 20:30-31). Comments above the solid line draw from this review.
In the gobbledygook prayer at Sunday Mass immediately following the Gloria, the Faithful hearing the 2011 Roman Missal can listen for “in what font they have been washed.” The Responsorial Antiphon for this Sunday is Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting (Psalm 118:1). Between November 25, 2011 and November 25, 2012, Personal Notes systematically examined the illiterate 2011 Missal. For a more thorough examination of the illiterate 2011 Roman Missal, go to 1610 Missal: Thirty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time 121125.pdf/htm at http://www.western-civilization.com/CBQ/Personal%20Notes/Personal%20Notes.htm.
As, on June 23, 2015, I prepared Reading 110B for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary time for July 26, I decided to begin reading unread book reviews and articles from Theological Studies for two reasons. The first is I have already read every article cited in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly. The second is that traditionally Theological Studies articles have been more helpful to my prayer life. I also began reading unread book reviews in the Biblical Quarterly. Beginning with the Second Sunday of Easter, April 23, 2017, I realized the Reformation Commentary on Scripture was doing little for my prayer-life and I began to drift away from the time-consuming details I had been recording.

This page is a translated version of the page KWin Rules Window Matching and the translation is 100% complete.
The Window Matching tab is used to specify the criteria KWin uses to evaluate whether the rule is applicable for a given window.
Window class (application) - match the class.
Match whole window class - include matching the secondary class.
Window types - restrict the match to the type of window: Normal Window, Dialog Window, etc.
Window title - restrict the match to the title of the window.
Machine (hostname) - restrict the match to the host name associated with the window.
While it's possible to manually enter the above information, the preferred method is to use the Detect Window Properties button.
Unimportant - ignore the field.
Both Exact Match and Substring Match implement case insensitive matching. For example, AB matches the string AB, ab, Ab and aB.
Regular Expression - Qt's regular expressions are implemented - see pattern matching using regular expressions.
The Detect Window Properties function simplifies the process of entering the matching-criteria.
For the application you'd like to create a rule, start the application.
Next, in the Window matching tab, set the number of seconds of delay before the Detect Window Properties function starts. The default is zero seconds.
When the mouse-cursor turns to cross-hairs, place it inside the application window (not the title bar) and left-click.
Secondary class name - some applications have a secondary class name. This value can be used to restrict windows by this value.
Click the OK button to back-fill the Window Matching criteria.
By using a combination of the information, a rule can apply to an entire application (by Class) or a to a specific window Type within the Class - say a Toolbar.

CSL Welland was the first vessel to arrive in the Port of Thunder Bay to take on a load of grain on Tuesday, March 27, receiving the Top Hat Honour.
CSL Welland Captain Wilson Walters and Chief Engineer Jean-Louis Girard received welcoming remarks and tokens of appreciation for opening up the navigation season from the Port of Thunder Bay, the City of Thunder Bay and the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce.
The CSL Welland holds the record for the largest single shipment of grain loaded in the Port of Thunder Bay. On August 16, 2016 the vessel departed the Port with 31,064 metric tonnes of grain.
The first ship of the season to arrive at the Port of Goderich was CSL Laurentien, which sailed in during daylights hours with no wind and no ice on March 25, 2018. The vessel took a load of grain to the Goderich Elevators.
Captain Joe Pero signed the traditional top hat Monday morning.
CSL Laurentien’s arrival is the earliest since the Canadian Progress arrived on March 17 in 2011. | 2019-04-23T06:27:00 | https://www.cslships.com/en/media-center/news-events/csl-welland-and-csl-laurentien-take-top-hat-honours-new-shipping-season |
Posted in Misc and tagged Cats, stealth at 4:52 pm on August 9, 2018 by Bodger.
Those tiles are nice. Expensive to get done? Gotta number for yer man?
I’d have a mat there at the door though.
The tiles by the wall look like they were put down after lunch.
And would it kill them to break out the Brasso?
Brasso is great. For instance, if you have those suncream fingerprint marks on your car paintwork, a wipe with brasso (not brillo) gets them off….for a few days while you sell it.
Brass door furniture is all a bit 1980’s hunger strikes and flares.
Chrome is the way to go these days especially up against those tiles.
A big roll of carpet is the only thing which should be up against those tiles.
Would they do wall tiles as well Marco?
Those tiles are the first thing I’d have installed if I ever get to buy my own house. obsessed with black and white tiles. If I won the lotto I’d get Twin Peaks ones put in the kitchen.
Hey knobs, the subject is the two cats, not whether the tiles are laid correctly or draught excluder etc.
Never apologise for immaculate taste, sweets.
You wouldn’t like your home under scrutiny after sending an image to BS would you? It’s mean.
whats the stealth thing about; the water meter?
If the car reversed the cats owner would just stand there with a long puss.
If they leave the door open like that shouldn’t be too difficult to go in an whip the tiles. Eventually, the D7/D8 blow-ins will learn their lesson.
Slow news day obviously. Even slower day for likes on Instagram I guess.
Oh dear. I see it now! Phew. | 2019-04-22T15:09:10 | https://www.broadsheet.ie/2018/08/09/everyone-stay-cool-25/ |

Tibet is one of the most magnificent and spiritually holy places on the earth, famous for the holiest Palace and unforgettable Mt. Everest, the tallest peak in the world, here you will meet the ingenious and hospitable Tibetan people with their unique folk customs. So what is the best Tibet tour in mind, let’s talk about it.
Tibet tours are considered as exploring the religious mystery and natural wonder in the city of Gods. In Lhasa, you will see the best landmarks, such as Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, etc. If you want a best Tibet tour, you cannot miss it. Every year, thousands of foreign tourists are keen to visit Tibet.
Located on the Red Hill of central Lhasa, Potala Palace is the landmark of Tibet and also is the tallest ancient palace in the world. White wall with the crimson and golden roof shining in glory in Lhasa, the Sun City.
It is the largest and most intact ancient castle-style complex in the world and situated at the highest altitude. The general construction of the Potala Palace consists of two parts: the Red Palace and the White Palace. You will not want to miss Potala Palace if you have a trip to Tibet. It is extremely magnificent and gorgeous. The palace also collected a huge number of murals, sculptures, and other valuable cultural relics which desired to visit.
The Potala Palace opened for all foreign travelers all the year round, which has different scenery in different seasons. If you are addicted to photography, you may need to know that the best angle of taking photos is the hill on the opposite road which is easy to find it, since there are two sign towers and it is not free. There is a music fountain performance at 20:00~22:00 pm in Potala palace square, where you can take full advantage of water speckle stain on the ground to shoot the reflection of Potala Palace.
Barkhor Street is a vivid combination of pilgrim circuit, ethnic melting pot, and marketplace and also often called the "Window of Tibet" which is famous for its shopping. There are kinds of air stalls ladening with souvenirs and household goods. If you want to visit Barkhor Street, you'd better chose a leisure way, such as bybicycle or on foot. By doing so, it's easier for you to feel the heritage of ancient cultures.
Built-in 647 by Songtsen Gampo and more than 1,300 years history, Jokhang Temple is the spiritual center of Tibet which situated at the center of the old town in Lhasa. The temple combines with Tibetan, Han and Nepalese wisdom. A large number of invaluable cultural relics are collected here. The Great Prayer Festival is held here every year. The temple was called the 'House of Wisdom’ which means the 'House of the Lord'. It has maintained the key center of Buddhist pilgrimage for centuries and it is the holiest and crucial temple in the heart of Tibetan.
Nyingchi is an exceedingly beautiful place which located in the southeastern of Tibet. It adjoins with Shannan to the southwest, Qamdo to the south, Lhasa to east and Nagqu to the north.
Nyingchi has the possession of stuning peach flowers gorges, vast forests and beautiful lakes etc. You will discover the reason why Nyingchi is called as the “Eastern Switzerland and Jiangnan of Tibet” when you step into Nyingchi. As a matter of fact, there are no peach flowers in Switzerland and no peaks covered snow in Jiangnan. So only in Lyingchi, you can visit such a magnificent scenery.
When you arrive in Nyingchi, you hardly believe yourself eyes. Because on the barren Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is such a fertile and picturesque heaven land in wild Tibet.
Every year, hundreds of thousands foreign travelers go trekking to Mt.Everest which is regarded as the heaven of most adventurers. According to the record, the Mt.Evereset height is 8848m which is known as the highest mount in the world and also the border area between Nepal and China. With magnificent and steep topography, covered by snow all the year round and the shape of like a pyramid, Mt.Everest is very mysterious and fantastic. The experience of hiking the Mt.Everest will become the unforgettable memory of those people who arrive in Everest summit.
Besides all mentioned places, there're still lots of places worthy of visiting in Tibet. I will advice you later. | 2019-04-22T10:49:02 | http://toptibettours.com/tibet-tour-tips/best-tibet-tours.html |
Question: My nose has a bulbous tip and my skin is thick. Can it be fixed?
Answer: If the dome cartilages under the nasal tip skin are large and rounded, then you are in luck in that these cartilages can be trimmed and then reshaped with sutures, giving you better tip definition. If on the other hand, the roundness to your tip is all due to thick skin and the cartilage underneath is weak, then there is less that can be done. Sometimes with thick skin, the tissue underneath can be thinned out, but this must be done conservatively and carefully. Some individuals with thick tip skin benefit from a tip graft that increases tip definition. Some lasers can thin overlying nasal tip skin and some medications can decrease pore accumulations and size. If you are going to have a rhinoplasty and you also have a dorsal hump, it would make most sense to have that addressed at the same time. | 2019-04-18T11:22:15 | https://todaysface.com/blog/qa-my-nose-has-a-bulbous-tip-and-my-skin-is-thick-can-it-be-fixed |

In today’s world, peace needs to become more than just a word. On September 21, 2016, the Class of 2020 at Canfield High School will take part in an International art and literacy project, Pinwheels for Peace by “planting” pinwheels with messages of peace at Canfield High School on the front lawn.
The freshmen class will create pinwheels, pinwheels of all shapes and sizes – as part of the creation process, the students will write their thoughts about "war and peace / tolerance/ living in harmony with others" on one side. On the other side, they will draw, paint, collage, etc. to visually express their feelings. The students will assemble these pinwheels and on International Day of Peace they will "plant" their pinwheels as a public statement and art exhibit/installation.
Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project started in 2005 by two Art teachers, Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, of Coconut Creek, Florida, as a way for students to express their feelings about what’s going on in the world and in their lives. In the first year, groups in over 1,325 locations throughout the world were spinning pinwheels on September 21st - there were approximately 500,000 pinwheels spinning throughout the world. Last year (year 10), 2015, over 4.5 million pinwheels were spinning in over 3,500 locations, including the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, Africa and South America. | 2019-04-22T02:41:26 | http://www.canfieldschools.net/News/1372 |

This article examines debates about political forgiveness in liberal, pluralist societies. Although the concept of forgiveness is not usually taken up by liberals, I outline a plausible conception by exploring two recent approaches. The first, ‘unattached articulation’, concept requires no real emotional change on the forgiver’s part, but rather a form of civic restraint. In contrast, the second version highlights a strong form of empathy for perpetrators. In spite of their advantages, each concept proves too extreme. The problems are revealed by focusing on the case of the Harkis, who fought for the French during the Algerian war. Often still marginalised in French society, their case helps to highlight the conceivability of a ‘middle-ground’ or moderate concept of political forgiveness. Its core rests on the forgiver’s care for the social world. While this concept brings considerable challenges also, and is not inevitable in any particular case, it entails a more plausible combination of emotional and rational shifts in the forgiver’s world-view. Although the article does not recommend forgiveness by any person or group, it observes, recalling Arendt’s idea of amor mundi or ‘love of the world’, that political forgiveness may sustain a viable connection between diverse citizens’ public and non-public lives. | 2019-04-20T04:41:03 | http://eprints.keele.ac.uk/2585/ |

DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is an extremely hard, durable and tribologically (i.e. in terms of sliding behavior) particularly well-suited coating that KTM uses in many parts (f.e. cam followers). Our engines love it.
A key element in the smooth power delivery of the 75° V-twin is each cylinder’s state-of-the-art 4-valve cylinder head. These combine twin plug ignition, flow-optimized ports and a slick low-friction valve drive train with cams from each cylinder’s twin overhead camshafts driving DLC-coated cam followers.
The extremely low crankshaft reciprocating weight enhances the responsiveness and free-revving nature of the engine. With a flow-optimized crank web shape, the particularly low-loss running of the crank drive is further enhanced.
Illuminated switches don’t only look good, you locate the most important buttons in the blink of an eye. At night.
Forget about ignition keys and mechanically locked fuel caps. All you need is the ‘keyless’ transponder in your pocket.
The standard cruise control laughs at long motorway journeys. Switches on the left side of the handlebar and a display in the TFT dashboard allow the rider to intuitively set and change the requested speed, so you’ll arrive where the real fun begins with energy to spare. | 2019-04-26T04:27:37 | https://spinnin-wheel.com/ktm/travel/1290-super-adventure-s-2 |
I play Aubrey, who is a very famous radio actor - one of the great stars of radio. Famously, in our story, Aubrey introduces ghost stories and our drama starts on one of such occasions - but then it all turns rather ghostly itself.
The script is excellent. It’s a really clever, witty, dark and quite a political story. Mark is also a very old and very dear friend - we’ve wanted to work together on something like this for a long time. The reason we know each other is from Doctor Who - he wrote an episode of Doctor Who in which I played Charles Dickens. That was a brilliant piece of writing and a lot of people liked that very much - it helped to humanise Dickens in some people’s minds. Not everybody knows about the man… most people know about the books, whether they have read them or not, but Mark’s episode was a rare example of showing the man in a human and vulnerable, yet crazy Doctor Who way.
Have you worked with any other cast members before?
I’ve met Susan many times at parties and things like that. We have friends in common. But I’ve never worked with Susan or Anjli before.
On television yes - but not from personal experience. Some people are susceptible to these things and I am not. I’ve got no ghost story to tell.
Why do you think ghost stories work so well at Christmas time?
It’s a very old tradition. It’s true - it goes back to Dickens. In The Pickwick Papers, when they are all having their Christmas knees up they sit around and tell ghost stories. I think it’s pre-Christian really, it’s probably quite pagan. Christmas is very connected to the winter solstice, driving away the darkness and bringing the light back again. Ghost stories represent the dark - but most, not all, have a relatively happy ending. I think we like to scare ourselves we like to tell each other scary stories. Unfortunately sometimes some scary stories - like Brexit - turn into a reality.
How was shooting at Maida Vale?
It was great. It’s a wonderful place. It’s miraculous. It hadn’t been in use for some time and Mark had always set his heart on shooting there - it brought a lot of atmosphere. It was a little bit spooky in itself as we were the only people working in a studio there. There were all these empty rooms - very occasionally somebody else would come in but it felt very different to working in a thriving studio.
Have you worked in a radio drama before?
I’ve done a lot of radio. I did my first radio in 1975. I’ve recorded some of the great ghost stories - M. R. James and Dickens and so on. They are very enjoyable to do - because you sense the reader getting more and more spooked as you go on.
It’s very clever of Mark to have used The Dead Room as the title - because of course a ‘dead room’ is the name for a soundproofed room for recording radio. I’ve always thought there was something poetic about that idea - a dead room. The room itself is dead? Or maybe it’s the room of the dead?
I would like a few ten day weeks. I’d like to extend the year a little bit. If Santa could bring me some time, I’d be very grateful. Money is always nice, but time is better. | 2019-04-24T23:29:00 | https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/the-dead-room/callow |

Liberty Corrosion Solutions. Nationwide MIC Testing. MIC Treatment USA.
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a commonly occurring bacterial growth found in new and existing fire sprinkler systems.
Fire sprinkler systems offer an ideal environment for MIC bacterial development. The presence of water, iron, minerals, closed systems, and nutrient rich water as well as pressurized air allow for optimal microbial growth conditions.
The average system affected by MIC will begin to leak within 10 years (Based on ave 10-15 mils. loss per year - sch10 pipe 125 mils.). Some systems have shown serious signs of corrosion after only two years. Replacing pipe without treatments is simply adding a food source to the existing bacterial colonization.
MIC grows as the sprinkler pipes naturally begin to rust. Optimal temperatures for growth range from 50 degree F – 140 degree F. The bacteria seek out low points to establish colonization. Unlike generalized corrosion that affects all areas, MIC attaches to a specific area and begins a localized corrosive attack.
The microbes are attracted to low lying areas and migrate to any irregularities in the piping. As they begin to develop they produce gelatinous slimes and sticky polymers that attract organic and inorganic materials.
The accumulation of materials form rounded shaped nodules referred to as tubercles. The formation of tubercles allow for a reduced oxygen level as little as 50 parts per billion [ppb] within the outer layer. This in turn produces an environment in which anaerobic bacteria thrive.
These bacteria cause an aggressively corrosive environment which chemically attack the fire sprinkler system. The byproducts of the microbes lower the ph to acidic levels leading to further destruction of the pipe wall. The production of sulfuric acid is a byproduct of sulfate reducing bacteria commonly found with MIC . Left unchecked, this corrosion often results in complete pipe degradation potentially rendering the system inoperable.
Numerous metals have been shown to be adversely affected by MIC. Iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, zinc and copper alloys are all affected by MIC to varying degrees in Aerobic and Anaerobic atmospheres.
Studies have also shown that electroplated pipe may accelerate the MIC activity as MIC can set up a reverse galvanic process.
MIC leads to a variety of conditions that may result in permanently damaging a sprinkler system. Problems such as loss of flow, fouled sprinkler heads, tubercle build up, and loss of pipe leading to pinhole leaks are common and may lead to property and life loss.
Liberty Corrosion Solutions offers numerous options for the treatment and prevention of MIC.

In 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch,' Should You Pick Tangerine Dream Or Tomita?
Barely a day has passed since the arrival of Bandersnatch, the latest iteration of the popular Black Mirror series. From the moment it arrived simultaneously worldwide on Netflix, subscribers and fans of Charlie Brooker's oft-dystopian sci-fi series dove into the choose-your-own-adventure style movie, directing its various options and exploring its twisty plot.
At first recalling series favorite San Junipero for its apparent throwback 1980s setting, the UK-set story follows an aspiring young programmer named Stefan in his attempt to create a video game based on a complex book written by a mysterious novelist. But what makes Bandersnatch different essentially from the start is its interactivity, presenting the viewer with options that direct where the narrative leads. Some of the choices appear benign, such as the selection of the protagonist's sugary breakfast cereal, while others prove anxiety-inducing and grave. Warning: some spoilers follow below.
One such decision--and, indeed, where one of the most innovative aspects of Bandersnatch lies--comes from the selection of music. This occurs at two points in the story, the first coming early on during a double-decker bus ride to a business meeting with video game company Tuckersoft. Looking at his walkman, Stefan holds two cassette tapes, one by the Thompson Twins and the other a Now That's What I Call Music compilation. If the viewer selects the former, they are treated to the new wave ballad "Hold Me Now," which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the UK Singles Charts. If they instead choose the latter, it plays The Eurythmics' "Here Comes The Rain Again," a synthpop classic which peaked at No. 4 in the US and No. 8 in the UK.
In execution, picking which tape Stefan listens to in his headphones feels gimmicky at best, a slight diversion that provides a brief bit of enjoyment while hinting at the power the viewer may wield not long thereafter. Yet the second musical choice given to the viewer does far more than press play. Instead, their decision resonates more-or-less throughout the remainder of the film.
Following the Tuckersoft meeting, Stefan receives a list of music recommendations from the company's top games designer, which he then takes with him to a WH Smith location. Intended to inspire him as he writes his own game, the listing features artists like Bauhaus and The Cure. After thumbing through the vinyl bins, ultimately Stefan holds two records out for purchase consideration: Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Isao Tomita's The Bermuda Triangle.
For those unfamiliar with the options, here's a little bit of background. Both albums are from 1970s electronic music pioneers whose works have galvanized generations of composers and producers. Founded in Germany by Edgar Froese in 1967, Tangerine Dream recorded dozens of synthesizer-driven records, including scores for movies like William Friedkin's Sorcerer and Michael Mann's Thief. Japanese composer Isao Tomita put out numerous albums of electronic music, some of which featured radical reinterpretations of classical favorites.
Both Phaedra and The Bermuda Triangle rank among the highlights of the respective artists' careers, though the former did exceptionally better in the UK and charted there for 15 weeks with a No. 15 peak. Either one of these instrumental outings would arguably make a fine purchase, in real life or in Bandersnatch. Yet whichever one the viewer chooses takes on a near-ubiquitous role from that point on, soundtracking most of the movie's remaining scenes. Rather than simply playing out cutely in a scene like the Thompson Twins vs. Eurythmics decision, this divergence point determines many of the musical cues and motifs behind the rest of Stefan's story.
From Hollywood blockbusters and awards season fare to indie flicks and low-budget romps, scores matter a great deal in cinema. The soundtracks and sounds that populate a movie contribute to its overall narrative, amplifying characters' actions and prompting emotional responses in watchers. Some cinephiles say that swapping out the music for a film with an entirely different one makes for a decidedly different viewing experience. The YouTube era brought us an example of this with the recut trailer phenomenon, where new content creators repurposed existing movie preview clips to change the context and even the genre of the originals, often with humorous results.
Thus, a Bandersnatch viewer's in-movie perspective, along with their memories afterwards, hinges on whether they pick Tangerine Dream or Tomita. Though both albums reside in the same broad genre category, their respective characters are quite different. Largely heavy handed with analog electronics, 1974's Phaedra follows a certain structural framework based in no small way on the Moog synthesizer at its core. Conversely, 1978's The Bermuda Triangle boasts a more orchestral approach, rising and falling with classical dramatic flair and enchanting ambient passages.
Knowing this, and keeping in mind that choices in Bandersnatch can sometimes have deadly consequences, many may be wondering if or how their soundtrack choice impacts the pathways or the range of outcomes. Over quite a few hours hunched over a laptop in an otherwise darkened room last night, I explored both musical pathways, starting with Phaedra and then, upon reaching a hard ending with credits sequences, began the movie all over again and chose The Bermuda Triangle instead. In both instances, I arrived at the same choice points and witnessed same possible endings.
While open to the idea that there may be other very subtle or as yet unseen consequences of choosing Phaedra over The Bermuda Triangle (and vice-versa) during subsequent viewings, it seems safe to say that the Bandersnatch story and its narrative paths aren't affected by Stefan's vinyl purchase. Beyond its truly novel approach of letting viewers decide what the movie sounds like, it won't block any of the subsequent outcomes--so choose however you see fit.
One last thing: on the Easter Egg front, there's at least one decision in the game that reveals a new song and another ending that calls back to a familiar scene with a new musical twist. But like so much of what makes Bandersnatch so entertaining, it's a lot more fun to experience than to be told. | 2019-04-19T18:19:41 | https://www.forbes.com/sites/garysuarez/2018/12/29/bandersnatch-music/ |
We all know just how important it is to avoid too many processed foods. Everything from sauces to cheeses and butters to jams, and even pickles; all of these are delicious foods but often by the time they hit our palates and plates, they've been enhanced with additional sugar, salt, artificial ingredients and refined carbohydrates.
The art of creating your own versions of these foods however, for some people can seem all too difficult in this day and age. Sometimes it seems as if creating a whole new pantry of items can cost more than an arm and a leg and leave us with an even bigger dent in our wallets.
This is where the Amber Rose’s latest book, The Wholefood Pantry, comes into our lives.
Amber grew up in New Zealand where her pantry was actually her mother's garden. Her mother and her would forage for wild flowers, exotic fruits, mushrooms and seasonal goodies to include in their cooking.
Her family have a love for not only cooking deliciously simple food, but appreciating the whole process; the excitement of discovering and collecting food, completed by the rituals of preparation and cooking.
Amber's childhood inspired her love for cooking and teaching others how to do it themselves. Amber introduces us to pantry essentials so we can re-build the contents of our kitchen from the inside out. The Wholefood Pantry includes wholesome recipes for stocks, sauces, butters, milks, pickles and more!
Her cooking style is extremely intuitive, delicious and simple. She uses lots of flavoursome herbs and spices to make her recipes as nourishing as possible.
The Wholefood Pantry starts with the basics, teaching us the art of fermenting, creating and customising. Kim chi, nut milks and cheeses are all on the agenda. Once you’ve nailed these pantry staples down, we can move on to utilising these items in delicious recipes. Expect to find loads of salads, meat dishes and of course, beautiful sweet chocolatey dishes too.
'The Wholefood Pantry' simply embodies the ideal that food is medicine. It takes us back to our hunter gatherer roots so we can fall in love with not only food, but cooking it too.
Lucky for us, Amber has allowed me to share her delicious recipe for Chia Pudding basic mix plus two delicious variations down below.
Congratulations on the beautiful book Amber!
For more on Amber, check out her beautiful website and instagram.
Pour the coconut/almond milk into a glass jar, add the raw honey and give it a good whisk. Add the chia seeds and use a fork to stir them through the milk really well. Let the mix stand for 1–2 minutes and then stir it really well again, breaking up any lumps that have formed. Repeat this process a few times over a 10-minute period. Add the spices, if using, and stir. Place the chia pudding in the fridge and let it soak overnight, or for at least a few hours. This allows the chia seeds to soak and thicken up.
Spoon half the chia mix into three glasses. Sprinkle over half the fruit, layer on more chia pudding, then sprinkle over the rest of the fruit. Serve.
Raw chocolate and red berry chia pudding.
Put the berries, lemon juice and coconut sugar in a small bowl and mix well, lightly crushing the raspberries. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes.
Spoon half the chocolate chia pudding into three glasses, spoon over half the macerated berries, then layer the rest of the chocolate chia pudding on top. Finish with the rest of the berries and lastly sprinkle over the cacao nibs. Serve.

The depressing economic reports have kept coming. Late last week two more reports throughout the August markets appeared and both contradicted earlier claims that the economy had turned the corner and was growing again.
The song, “Like a G6,” originates from the 2010 album “Free Wired” undoubtedly East Exercise. Devin Star Tales supplies the feminine vocals since the male vocals are through the Cataracs. Niles Hollowell-Dhar for the Cataracs wrote and produced the song which comes from the gulfstream G650. The song means to imitate the gangster culture as well as the lifestyle of indulgent jet-setters who is usually riding the twin-engine business jet jets.
Equally illogical is at fault behind the 9/11 anxiety. If, as some charge, the attacks were a smokescreen to warrant an invasion of Iraq, then why implicate Osama bin Laden, a Saudi exile that few had ever heard of, and the Afghan Taliban? If Iraq were actually the target on the conspirators, excellent idea that the evidence would have pointed toward Saddam Hussein, a known supporter of terrorists. Whilst it was, the invasion of Iraq would not take place until March 19, 2003, a year and a half after September 11.

We bangs vaccinated our young little heifers today… Most of the work preparing for today, I have missed. That was bringing them to the corral, sorting off any older heifers and cows, and weighing them. Today I was late as well because I had to get lunch going first. We did half of the bunch before lunch, and half afterwards.
I did make it eventually, and I simply had to keep them moving up the alleyway… everyone else had their jobs already!
The Good Doctor was on the job… and his toothbrush full of green tattoo ink was only knocked out of his mouth once by the girls’ slinging their heads!
He vaccinates them, tattoos their right ear with his veterinarian logo and number, and puts in a numbered orange tag in their ear as well.
The Good Doctor is speedy… the only thing that seems to slow us down is the telling of Very Good Stories.
This is also an exercise in record keeping… noting which bangs tag goes in to which heifer… and which direction the girls go. They will go to different corrals… the smaller ones getting some extra ration to help them grow. Brandon had this well in hand… which was great! This is a job where I spent lots of time checking, rechecking, and triple checking numbers so I didn’t mess up!!!
I was happy to not have to deal with it!
Looks like a cold day for you all. At least you had sunshine and stories rather than the wet (46f) we have. Hope all that numbering went well. | 2019-04-18T12:14:52 | https://reddirtinmysoul.com/2017/01/15/deal-with-it/ |
Bert and I were recently sent some cool feeding products to review by the fab people over at Tomy . The products are made by BOON, which is a company I hadn't previously heard of (I am new to this parenting malarkey though!). They make fun, modern, colourful and highly innovative products for babies from baths, to feeding utensils, vegetable choppers to food mashers - all designed to make life with your little one a tad easier.
I like this feeding myself thing mum!
these quavers are tasty mum!
yes, thats a sandwich half poking out his mouth - cute!
is there anything cuter than seeing these chubby fingers covered in butter for the first time?
At breakfast time we tried out the BOON Catch Bowl - I made Bert his favourite combo of Farley's Rusk mashed with Heinz Yoghurt & Fruit cereal (baby rice) - he absolutely loves it! The catch bowl comes with a non-slip bottom much like the platters, along with a rubber "catch it" bib/lip attached to the main bowl, which helps catch any drops and spills - this lip will come in especially handy when Bert is at the stage of wanting to feed himself.
Bert was interested in the bowl straight away and enjoyed touching it - I think he will especially enjoy this bowl when he is feeding himself, and it will make his life easier as it won't slip and slide all over his high chair tray.
Alongside the bowl we tried out the BOON Benders cutlery set - the set comes with a chunky spoon and fork, both of which can be bent at the top to suit either left handed or right handed children - genius!
Although Bert isn't close to feeding himself yet - I let him hold the spoon, put it to his mouth and get used to the motion of bring cutlery to his mouth. He was instantly drawn to the bright colour of the spoon and seemed to find it easy to hold, and got it straight into his mouth without any fuss.
Look at those cheeky chops!
We got on very well with the BOON products we were sent - they've all now gone through the dishwasher (top shelf) a couple of times, and have come out perfectly. They are practical from a parent's perspective, and fun for your kids, and I think these items are priced very fairly.
What Else Do BOON Have to Offer??
Now I've discovered BOON I couldn't resist having a peek at what other awesome products they have to offer.
I like very much that on the whole their products are reasonably priced, and pretty accessible to most budgets - however, if you have a bit of extra cash to spend you could splash out on this pretty awesome Flair High Chair priced at £199.99 which comes with an inbuilt pneumatic lift!
Another product I love - which I could imagine would come in really handy, is this food masher. No batteries or sockets are needed to work this little gadget and it lets you mush up fruit, veggies and boneless meats all at the turn of a handle - you can make your own homemade baby food in minutes! Plus, it isn't noisy like food processors, so it won't wake up your sleeping baby - doubly awesome!
BOON have lots of other great products on offer to parents nation-wide - their website is well worth a browse - especially for those of us at the weaning stage.
It's onwards and upwards for Bert and his weaning journey - we're going to continue with our lunch time finger foods - I'm planning on trying him with some pre-cooked vegetables like carrots and courgette, some slices of ham, and some mashed avocado or cheese spread sandwiches over the next few weeks.
Disclaimer: We were sent these products for the purpose of this review - all opinions and words are my own. | 2019-04-24T10:15:38 | http://www.mrsbishopsbakesandbanter.co.uk/2014/03/boon-feeding-set-review-for-tomy.html |
I live in a suburb of New York City (about 60 miles north) on a pretty quiet street. No big trucks or highway traffic. I have room for a 25-30 foot rig. If you are towing a car, we'd probably have you park it on a side street. It's a pull-in, not a pull-thru so you have to back up to get in or out.
Please keep dogs leashed and under control. The road has a blind curve and is dangerous.
Access road is a publicly well maintained road.
Side streets are available or in the driveway.
A easy to get to stop to get to.
Sorry we didn't meet our host as we arrived 10:30 pm and left 7:30am.
Kundrup and her sweet pooch couldn't have been more welcoming. The space was perfect for my rig and Kundrup was an awesome host. She is knowledgeable about the area and helped me figure out the best routes to my destinations. She also brews a mean cup of Chai Tea! I would definitely stay with her again and would gladly return the favor if she is ever in my neck of the woods.
So sorry I didn’t get to meet my HOST. She has many rave reviews. She answered my request and other later questions very quickly. She had many suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the area. Gave great tips. Hope to meet her on another trip.
We arrived with excellent directions, but found we were too long for the space provided. Laura was very concerned for us and a problem that had occured with her yard. So, we had to find another place to stay. However, she did her very best to even have suggestions as to where we might go. Being a new boondocker, I think she is great to offer parking. Just not for our big rig. Would definitely recommend her for smaller units.
Saw a herd of deer and look forward to staying here again. Thanks to our hostess.
What a great place to stay and what a nice host! We had originally planned to be there for 2 nights, but because of a sick child had to prolonge it for 4 nights. Kundrup was very accomodating and super nice. She gave great suggestions on how best to get to NYC. We wished we could have chatted more but did not want to spread any sickness. Maybe someday we can come back!
Just got home from our first boondocking experience. Our host was perfect very understanding of our short notice needs, she greeted us and helped us decide where to place the camper. This was a great location for our early morning trek into NYC. We are hooked, can't wait for our next adventure.
She is a prime example of why I love using Boondockers welcome. She also has a passion for travel. We had a nice visit and even a jam session with our guitars and singing. Very interesting to talk to and very helpful. I will certainly call her first the next time I come through.
She's the kind of person that makes Boondocker'swelcome so great. We had a good meal prepared with another Boondocker who was staying there for the night, had some good conversation and then a jam session. She also made water and powerhookup available. If I'm back through here I'll definitely look her up again.
We stayed at Kundrup's driveway for one night and we are very thankful for letting us stop by, we were in our 32' ACE motorhome with a small toad and we fitted perfectly in the spot (but we did good at disconnecting before coming in, cannot backup or un-hook after being parked.) The place is very central in town, with a short walk to get coffee, eat, or just to get groceries.
Our host was very welcoming and we chat for a little bit about travel, exchanged recommendations for few places to stay, and our mission during this trip; we hope we can cross paths during our trip. Thanks again for having us!
When you stay with Kundrup, expect to leave knowing you've got a new life-long friend. She was more than gracious, and extremely generous to us during our stay. Her enthusiasm for traveling is contagious. She took us on a amazing local hike, that really opened our eyes to just how beautiful CT is. Our only regret was not having more time to enjoy Kundrup's company. Our paths will cross again soon. We were commuting into NYC for work, and it was painless riding the train in.
Kundrup is a wonderful host. Very friendly and helpful. Kundrup provide us all what we need.hope to see you again. French family.

The program is called the Tantré Farm Internship, but according to Tantré Farm co-owner Deb Lentz, you may be a bit off the mark if you assume the opportunity is just about agricultural training.
"Do you learn about farming? Yeah, maybe," Lentz says. "The interns may learn the name of a weed, but then someone may tell them that weed is also edible and we can throw it in our salad. So for me, it's more than learning about farming. It's learning about the ecosystem and how we fit into it. It's about life skills."
Indeed, an afternoon at the organic farm feels like stepping into a different life entirely. Tucked far down a gravel road amidst the expansive back-country fields southwest of downtown Chelsea, the 40-acre plot is anchored by a well-worn two-story farmhouse. Dogs and cats frolic in the shade of apple, pear, peach and plum trees behind the house. Beyond are the fields, tended by about 20 workers on a daily basis. A few are visiting travelers from Sweden and Macedonia, but 15 are interns, most of them in their 20s and many of them barefoot in the field. They will work, eat and sleep on the farm throughout the April-November growing season, receiving a monthly stipend of $600-$800.
"It's somewhat of a small village," says Richard Andres, the farm's co-owner and Lentz's husband. "I really can't think of any other context for it in our culture."
Adding to the sense of community, everyone on the farm takes turns cooking for the group. Interns are promised three organic meals a day, made from farm produce whenever possible. Fridays are pizza and beer nights, with pizzas cooked in a handmade earth oven in the backyard. Other nights interns will gravitate to group activities like games, movies or swimming at the pond down the road. And at night, they bed down either in the farmhouse or the loft of the barn.
"We live and work and play together, and it's just this really interconnected thing you have to figure out," says Erin Throop, now in her second season as an intern. "The intensity of the work is a lot, but we definitely find this really intricate balance."
The work itself runs from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the work week, and 7:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday. In addition to working in the fields, interns are expected to take turns working Tantré's stand at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. The first month for a new intern is considered an orientation period, and from there he or she will gain more responsibility under the guidance of Andres, Lentz and returning crew members from the previous season. Andres says the work is "very self-directed," however; he'll lecture if he needs to, but it's not a staple of the internship. The program used to include more traditional training, Lentz says, but that "kind of fizzled out."
"It's a very informal kind of learning situation," she says. "It's hands-on, on-the-job kind of training, and it has a lot of extensions."
As a couple, Andres and Lentz's unique dynamic lies at the heart of the farm and the internship program. A former elementary teacher, she's warm, motherly and talkative. He's methodical, focused and dry, although the occasional bit of sly wit escapes from beneath what seem to be permanently arched eyebrows.
"Their team is really amazing," Throop says. "Deb is really understanding and you can always go to her if you need to talk. Richard keeps things together on the farm, but he's become more a work partner than a boss."
It's hard for Lentz and Andres to pin down exactly when the internship program started, because they've had someone working and staying on the farm since its early days. But Andres had to do a considerable amount of work to turn the property into a farm in the first place. He bought the property in 1993 after several years working as a carpenter.
"My money started to pile up and I got tired of running around building other people's dreams," he says. "So I thought I would focus on my own dream, which was something like building a farm."
At that time, there were no outbuildings and no fruit trees in the backyard. Andres slowly developed the property, farming potatoes and other storage crops with Lentz after the two met in 1994. They grew organic potatoes and other storage crops until 2001, when they decided to make the farm a CSA. As they increased production for CSA members, Lentz says more hands were needed to keep up with the farm's organic growing practices, giving rise to the formal internship program.
"Because you're using less chemicals to control weeds and insects, there is some squishing and picking," she says. "So there is a lot of hard labor."
Interns come to the program from various backgrounds and for various reasons. Some are interested in food, some in farming; some are in a transitional period of life and looking for a unique experience. Lentz says ideal candidates include former farmers, landscapers and marching band members--people who can get hot and sweaty and keep working. If interns stick with the experience after the first month orientation, many end up returning for a second season or more. One such intern is Lizzy Olenzek, who started last year and is now doing wholesaling work for the farm this summer.
"I found it really empowering," Olenzek says. "Aside from how to grow things, I learned sort of an independent work skill set and some sort of self-reliance."
In the farm's early days, Lentz says, it was hard to find any workers at all, let alone interns. But that has changed. Now the farm receives 20-30 internship applicants per season, and Lentz and Andres use an interview process to make their picks. Asked why interest has surged so much over the years, Lentz rattles off a list of media sources, from authors Michael Pollan and Wendell Berry to Food Inc. and Time magazine, that have advocated for local, sustainable food over the last decade.
"I believe the movement has worked," she says. "Now there's young people who don't accept corporate society. They're looking for a lifestyle that is more sustaining—feel-good-inside sustaining."
But in the midst of ongoing economic and environmental troubles, will the momentum itself be sustainable? Andres is willing to look on the bright side.
"I think you might see more of this kind of coming together, where the culture changes," he says. "We can either get freaked out and be motivated by fear, or we can try to do something altruistic."

We gladly followed the invitation and attended the year-end meeting of KNX Professionals Germany, which took place in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm this year.
In our presentation on the topic "KNX interfaces - for installation and development" we focused on solutions based on the BAOS architecture from Weinzierl in addition to the classic telegram interfaces. We were also able to go into numerous details with the audience, which was thoroughly experienced throughout.
In addition to all the technical topics and discussions, there was also the friendly networking aspect of the meeting.
The ISH 2017 (March 14 - March 18, 2017 in Hall 10.3 A34) in Frankfurt is the largest international trade show for the network of water and energy. More than 2,450 exhibitors presented their innovations in the field of plumbing and heating technology. ISH is also an important trade fair for Weinzierl Engineering, and the system specialist for KNX from the Upper Bavarian town of Burgkirchen was also present this year with its own stand.
1. KNX USB Interface 312 - The successful KNX USB interface with only 18mm width in a new housing; It also offers the support of KNX long frames for a faster ETS download.
2. KNX USB Interface Stick 332 - almost 50% smaller than its predecessor, the USB Interface Stick now also supports KNX long frames. By integrating the BAOS protocol V2, the stick is now also part of Weinzierl's BAOS architecture and is suitable for the integration of non-KNX devices into the KNX system - if necessary also with an individual ETS product database.
3. KNX ENO 636 secure - the new top model of EnOcean gateways with over 100 supported EEPs (EnOcean Equipment Profiles) and the support of encrypted radio communication.
4. KNX LineCoupler 650 - Compact KNX TP line coupler with a width of only 18mm. KNX Bus connectors on both sides. Keys and LEDs for diagnostic functions.
5. KNX IP Interface 731 - Compact 18mm KNX IP interface, optimized position of the LAN connector. Power supply via the KNX bus.
6. KNX IP Router 751 - Compact 18mm KNX IP router with extended filter table (8k), optimized position of the LAN connector. Power supply via the KNX bus.
7. KNX IP LineMaster 762 - The KNX IP LineMaster in the new and more compact housing (108mm) combines an efficient KNX power supply with 640 mA output current and bus choke with a KNX IP router, status and settings via OLED display.
8. KNX IP BAOS 773/774 - Compact 18mm KNX IP BAOS device, KNX IP interface, BAOS V2 (with 250/1000 data points) allows easy connection of IP devices to KNX, optimized position of the LAN connection. Power supply via the KNX bus.
9. KNX Modbus RTU 886 - Universal gateway between Modbus RTU and KNX TP. Compact design with only 18mm.
10. The new KNX IO series shows what is possible in only one division unit: binary inputs, switching outputs, blind outputs and even combiner units.
We are pleased to have received the positive feedback and thank all visitors for the interesting trade fair talks. Next year we will meet at Light & Building 2018 - we look forward to your visit.
The name is program: the ISE Integrated Systems Europe 2017 in Amsterdam (07.02 - 10.02.2017) once again showed the ongoing trend towards the integration and networking of different trades. Thus it becomes self-evident to connect conference systems with the building control.
Weinzierl showed new devices and concepts on the KNX Association's joint stand. In particular the devices and modules of the Weinzierl KNX IP BAOS family enable an optimal connection of various applications to KNX.
Weinzierl will also be coming to Frankfurt soon - visit Weinzierl at the ISH 2017 in Frankfurt (03/14 - 03/18/2017 Hall 10.3 A34) - we are looking forward to welcoming you there. | 2019-04-25T19:53:37 | https://weinzierl.de/index.php/en/news-en-en?start=9 |
Madi and Jack had a great day visiting Papa who is home from the hospital- they even helped him do some physio!
Madi then headed to the Village for some work with Stephanie. She did some good walking and worked on her single point canes for a bit.
Madi and Jack were thrilled to have Nate over tonight for their first sleepover! They played lots, had dinner, ran around the basement, read lots and lots of books and then eventually passed out. | 2019-04-20T12:46:18 | https://madimoves.com/2018/02/16/day-1062-first-sleepover/ |

Between 2011 and 2017, 259 people have been accidentally killed in all kinds of different ways while taking selfies all over the world. Scientists are calling for "no selfie zones" after the incredible number was revealed.
The most common ways that people die while taking selfies is by drowning, being hit by traffic or falling. And it happens overwhelmingly to men, with nearly three quarters of the victims being male (153). Eight people were killed by animals while taking selfies and another 16 were electrocuted in the same period.
The country where most of the deaths happened was India which accounted for around half of all the selfie-related deaths, closely followed by Russia, the USA and Pakistan. Most of the deaths in the US were due to firearms. Researchers advise the creation of "no-selfie zones" at high-risk areas including bodies of water, mountain peaks and tall buildings.
Dr. Agam Bansal at the India Institute of Medical Sciences led the research. He said: "Selfies are themselves not harmful, but the human behavior that accompanies selfies is dangerous. Individuals need to be educated regarding certain risky behaviors and places where selfies should not be taken." | 2019-04-22T10:28:04 | http://ests24331677.pixnet.net/blog/post/226406114 |

It's amazing what turns up in a seasrch long after the show has ended. An extended version of the Da Vinci's Demons season 3 set interviews with Tom and Laura Haddock has been shared on this site. About 4 or 5 minutes of the interview was shared (in small parts) on various FOX channels as season 3 was broadcast, but nowhere uploaded the entire 8 minute interview.
Two recent online articles looking at cancelled TV shows which should get a new life, and undiscovered television gems, included Da Vinci's Demons in their lists, with some kind words about Tom as Leonardo. The final series is currently been shown on German terrestrial TV RTL.
A feature in the Australian Empire magazine, Spring / Summer issue (November 2015), looks at season 3 of Da Vinci's Demons which was broadcast in Australia last December. The article includes an interview with Tom who reveals how dangerous filming the show was for the final season.
It's always amazing what turns up in searches after a long period of time, but here is a snippet from the Comic Con Portugal press conference from 2014, which I don't think we have seen or heard before. Tom reveals that many of the fun moments behind the scenes involve Gregg Chillin misbehaving in some way. Apparently there are scenes in season 3 which Gregg 'ruined' but they had to use...did any fans spot such a scene?
Da Vinci's Demons season 3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray yesterday in the US, and a few new reviews for it have beem shared online. One review from Inside Pulse, clearly written without ever actually watching the show on DVD or Blu-ray - they awarded 3 out of 5 for included extras, where there are none - can be discounted. I hope no-one actually got paid for writing that piece.
The second part of an interview with Tom for Xfinity, during a press day last year, has been shared online. Part 1 can be watched here, if you are in the US. Both interviews are geoblocked, sadly. In part 2, Tom discusses the implications for Leo's future following Lucrezia's final comments, in the Da Vinci's Demons season 3 final episode.
Da Vinci's Demons season 3 was released on US iTunes yesterday, and as has already been revealed, the Region 1 DVD and Blu-ray will be released very soon, on January 26th 2016. A new trailer has kindly been shared with the website to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release, along with a closer look at the boxed cover art. While a few extras are included in the iTunes download, there doesn't appear to be any to accompany the DVD or Blu-ray. Pre-order the final season on Amazon and other retail outlets. | 2019-04-25T02:11:50 | http://tom-riley.com/tags/da-vincis-demons-images |

Days after three separate suicides in Parkland, Fla., and Newtown, Conn. left those communities reeling, the Senate is doing something rare for a GOP-led chamber: holding a hearing on gun control. In the previously scheduled hearing, the full Senate Judiciary Committee will bring experts to Capitol Hill Tuesday on extreme risk protection orders, commonly referred to as red flag laws.
These laws allow law enforcement, and in some states, relatives and other concerned parties, to petition judges in order to temporarily restrict access to firearms from people who may present a harm to themselves or others.
Supporters of the laws say they can save lives by removing guns from individuals who should not have them. Some states have used the laws to successfully protect individuals from suicide, at least one study shows.
Opponents of such laws say they violate the second amendment and say they do nothing to thwart the underlying issues causing the threat.
The Senate hearing Tuesday will focus on guidelines that a handful of states have used to implement red flag laws, something that Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has signaled he would support on the federal level.
Graham told CNN earlier this month that he saw red flag measures as "prevention," adding that he and President Trump have "definitely" spoken about it.
Last year Graham, along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., began working on legislation, but their efforts never became law.
Since the deadly shooting in Parkland, Fla., last year, eight states have enacted their own extreme risk laws. In all, 14 states have them on the books. Colorado, where the bill is backed by a lawmaker who lost his son in the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, appears to be on the verge of passing one of its own.
The hearing comes at a time when there may be renewed national interest in red flag laws. In recent days, two survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting died by apparent suicide.
On Monday, Jeremy Richman, whose daughter was killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was found dead in an apparent suicide.
Since taking control of the U.S. House, Democrats have sought to make gun control a major platform in their governing agenda.
At the start of the 2019 Congress, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators led by Marco Rubio, R-Fla., re-introduced a bill that was first unveiled in the weeks following the Parkland shooting.
The alleged Parkland gunman, a former student who had received treatment for mental health, legally purchased the firearm used in the attack.
Last month the Democrat-led House approved a pair of bills aimed at broadening the federal background check system. The bills face long odds getting approval in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Activists led by the March For Our Lives pro-gun control group, plan to hold demonstrations on Capitol Hill much of Tuesday to urge the Senate lawmakers to take up a the Background Check Expansion Act.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has 41 co-sponsors. None of them are Republicans. | 2019-04-22T00:37:38 | https://www.scpr.org/news/2019/03/26/88804/in-the-shadow-of-suicides-senate-panel-makes-rare/ |

Both Sleepy & Buttercup are crossbreeds (as far as I know). Columbian Wyandotte in the cross is highly probably considering that the girl that gave them to me said Wyandotte was in there somewhere. Given Buttercup’s beard and muffs, I presume he/she is an Easter Egger cross. Sleepy is likely a Rhode Island Red (the girl mentioned RIR and Sleepy is showing some strong red coloration) crossed with Buttercup’s other parent (given their color/pattern similarities). As stated above, this other parent is likely Columbian Wyandotte. However, these are just guesses!

WordPress is one of the most well-known content management systems for blogging. With a massive database of plug-ins and open-source status, WordPress is a platform that can be used for almost any website. To get the most out of WordPress and force it to function like an entirely different system, you must take the necessary steps to make it fit your personal requirements.
Depending on your goals, you might need to make several changes, and at times, these changes might seem counterintuitive to your goals, but you must have faith that it will work out in the end. For example, you might have to remove page titles and headers.
By default, WordPress will place post and page titles above your content. Most people view these as crucial design elements, but depending on your design goals, the page titles might be getting in the way.
If your goal is to use WordPress as a single landing page or want to set a static page for your homepage, you might find that the page title becomes quite annoying.
When you’re trying to implement a customized style, the page title can clutter the page with unwanted content. Fortunately, it’s easy to learn how to remove a page title in WordPress. One of the easiest ways to remove the title consists of never entering one to begin with.
When you first create a page, you’ll need to enter a title, but after publishing the page, you can double back and delete the title.
However, by deleting the title, your dashboard will label the page with no title, which can get confusing when you have several pages with no titles. A number of free WordPress plug-ins can get the job done.
For whatever reason, you might wish to manually remove a page title. Some users don’t want to install an entire plug-in just to accomplish this simple task.
By making a small change to the HTML code for the page, you can manually remove the title. Technically, the minor change doesn’t remove the title, but it will hide the title from the page.
The title will still be visible from the administrator dashboard, so you’ll always be able to identify the correct content. To remove the title, you’ll need to follow these steps.
First, you’ll need to open the target page in your browser and view it as if you’re a normal visitor. Next, you must right-click on a blank area of the page and click to view the page source.
The wording for this action is very similar in Internet Explorer and Chrome. Next, press Control + F, which will open the Find box. Type “H1” into the box and remove the quotes.
You’ll see that the class name for the title will be shown within the H1 tags, which you can see in the example below.
In the above example, you can see that the class title is called entry-title, and it should have the same name when you look at your own website.
In this step, you’ll need to locate the ID code for the page that you’d like to remove the title for. To find the ID code, you can use a free plug-in or view the source code for the page. When you look at the source code, the ID code should be right above the class name. See the examples below.
Observe the ID code and write it down.
Once you’ve completed the other steps, you’ll need to edit your theme’s stylesheet and add a small bit of code. Head over to your administrator dashboard and navigate to the Appearance section. Next, click on editor, styles and stylesheet.
Scroll down the page until you reach the bottom of the code. Go ahead and enter the line of code shown below but make sure to change the entry title and page ID code to match the information that you’ve gathered from your own site.
To finalize the changes, click the Update File button, and your page or post title will be hidden from the page. If you decide to change your WordPress theme, you’ll need to repeat this entire process.
Once you’ve comprehended these simple steps, it shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes to implement these changes in the future.
If you’re looking for an automated way to remove page titles, consider using plug-ins. Some top choices are Post Titles, Hide Page and Title Remover. | 2019-04-25T08:48:29 | https://makeawebsitehub.com/how-to-remove-a-page-title-in-wordpress/ |
From the crossover at CP-Burn (MP 0.8), where a line to Bethlehem via East Penn Junction departs on the south side, and the Reading Line turns northeast, bridging over an RJ Corman line and the Lehigh River, and the junction with the Lehigh Line at CP-Allen (MP 0.0/88.2), where the Lehigh Secondary Track trails in on the north side, and there is a crossover, the Lehigh Line turns east, single track, Rule 261, maximum speed 20 mph, past the start of Allentown Yard on the north side at CP Canal (MP 86.9), turning northeast, east, southeast, and east again, passing Steel (MP 85.5), to the end of Allentown Yard, crossovers, and the Cement Secondary Track and Freemansburg Industrial Track starting on the north side, at CP-JU (MP 84.5), where the maximum speed drops to 10 mph, and turning southeast, bridging over the Lehigh River, to the junction with the additional segment of the Reading Line at CP-Bethlehem (MP 84.3), where the Lehigh Line trails in on the north side.

The extra track on the north side ends at Freemansburg (MP 85.8), where the erstwhile Reading line from Quakertown once trailed in from the south, the yard ends, and the line turns east-northeast and then northeast, curvily east-northeast past detectors at "South Richards" (MP 82.8), a crossover at CP-Richards (MP 81.1), where Rule 261 replaces the current-of-traffic (Rule 251) on both tracks, east, past MP 79.5, where the maximum speed drops to 30 mph, Glendon (MP 78.6), a line from Keplers Mill bridging overhead, Abbott (MP 77.9), the start of single track, Rule 261, at CP-Easton (MP 77.0), where the Portland Secondary Track heads away on the north side, bridging over the river separately, the bridge over the Delaware River (and thus the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border) at MP 76.6, and over the routing of the erstwhile Jersey Central line at this point, and the junction with the Washington Secondary Track (former Lackawanna), on the north side, at CP-Phillipsburg (MP 76.3), where the Lehigh Line turns south-southeast. | 2019-04-19T14:41:04 | http://donwinter.com/Railroad%20Infrastructure%20and%20Traffic%20Data/Trunk%20Routes/Harrisburg%20to%20Jersey/Route%20Descriptions/Allentown%20to%20Phillipsburg.htm |
I am very excited about today's polish. It's a new brand to me but one I have been lemming for a loooooooong time! I did a swap with a girl in Belgium and finally got my hands on what is promising to be my new brand of choice.
Are you as addicted to Amazon.com as I am? I love that website and order most everything from them. I plan to join the Prime service in January. This is $79 and you get a year of free 2nd day shipping. The amount of stuff I get from them is way more in shipping than this price. So yeah I'm going to give it a try.
I was having hair dye day when an Amazon employee came in. I am totally fascinated and wanted to know what it's like to work there. Well, let me tell you. First you have to do mandatory six ten hour shifts during peak season, which is now. You start off as a temp, employed by a temp agency. You get only three hours of training at that time. You then either figure it out or you don't. The pickers are the ones who pull the items off the shelf that you order. They are required to pick 115 items per hour or 2 per minute. If you do not, you get fired. I am all for hard work and love this regimented way of doing things. You start the job with six points. Being late or leaving early, you lose a point etc. Once you've lost all six points, you are fired. You carry a scanner and a tote to pick the items. The scanner will tell you when to go to lunch, when to go on break etc. If you aren't keeping up with the required items per hour, you are fired.
I did not find out about the other areas, since this person is a picker. I just think it's a cool way of doing things. Then you know each person is pulling their weight. Too many places there are always those who do much more work than their co workers. This way makes the work even for all. Once you've been there six weeks and have proven that you can do the job, then you are hired into Amazon and then given proper orientation and training. I think this is a good plan. Why waste time and money training people at the beginning who don't want to work?
Makes me like Amazon that much more! They are going to start delivering on Sunday. This is a new thing. I like that too.
OK enough stalling. Here is your silly bottle shot.
This is Mavala Metallic Grey and KOH Biggest Fan. Yup that has become me!!!! I forgot to take a picture of the individual boxes these come in. So fancy. I love the shape of the bottle but the long top is kind of awkward to polish with. Yes these are expensive and only 10ml. I didn't know that at the time. It is so worth it to me though-just wait to see why.
Now remember this was hair dye day, so I was in a hurry and did not do perfect polishing here! But this KOH is a one coater!!!! Had I been more careful, I could have gotten away with it. That's what makes it worth the $$.
Next I stamped with the opposite color using MoYou Artist 11. Here are the results.
This Mavala is also a tiny bottle, only 5ml but it has this pearlized glow to it that is gorgeous. I saw it on instagram and had to have it. But how awesome is it that this KOH stamps??? I am begging them to let me be their swatcher, but we all know that's my fantasy. I may have to sell off some of my polish to buy more. This is serious brand love. But I will wait until I've tried the other three that I got.
Here is a picture of the plate I used.
Look at the bottom right of this plate. There you will see the tribal pattern I used here. I am in love with these plates!!!!!
Do you love Amazon too? Does anyone want to send me more KOH out there???????? | 2019-04-21T21:01:16 | https://www.fingerspolishmania.com/2013/12/koh.html |

Beyonce ran the Superdome stage last night (Feb. 3) during the Super Bowl halftime show, and afterwards, announced her plans to run the world ... on a world tour, of course!
Bey confirmed news that she was embarking on The Mrs. Carter Show and announced the tour dates on her website.
She'll kick off in Belgrade, Serbia on April 15 and will do 24 stops in Europe before taking a month-long break in June. She'll then tour North America, starting June 28 in Los Angeles and ending August 3 at husband Jay-Z's Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Beyonce hinted to a tour during a Super Bowl press conference, saying, "I may have an announcement after the performance. Fans should just stay tuned to see."
The Mrs. Carter Show tour will be Beyoncé's first major tour since 2009's I AM ... World Tour. | 2019-04-19T13:01:43 | https://theboombox.com/beyonce-world-tour-announcement/ |
Like any business, coaching comes with some ‘dos and don'ts’, advice that filters from the most successful downwards. These are things like, make sure to build your mailing list, speak at as many events as you can and know your niche market, etc etc.
Many of the tips are valid, but this week I did a quick authenticity scan on myself and discovered that one piece of advice really jars with me. So I decided to own it, to put it out there and call myself on it.
The advice is to do with being consistent.
As coaches, the importance of being consistent with emailing newsletters is hammered into us. It’s part of maintaining visibility and contact with those who’re interested in what you have to say. This however, is one of the things that I have always struggled with, because guess what, I don’t really do consistency.
My nature is loyal, solid, reliable, but damn can I be unpredictable. Do I always have something I want to say? No. Do I always want to send people emails? No.
A big part of what I do is about being genuine. My clients, and even those on my mailing list whom I’ve never worked with, know that I’m always available for direct contact when needed. Who I am at this stage of my life, means that sometimes weekly contact just isn’t on the agenda. I’m simply not feeling it and I always tell people to listen to how they feel.
Consistency is all well and good and I have a lot of respect for those who can and want to maintain it. For me however, it errs too close to routine and if you see my name in your inbox, I really want you to know that there’s something going down – something you’ve got to know or think about, something I don’t want you to miss.
I’m subscribed to a few coaches myself and I have to say, there is only one who week-to-week, has something genuinely unmissable to share.
So guys, if you’re on my list, you might hear from me once a week, maybe once every two weeks, even once a month. By nature I will only talk when I have something I really, really want to say.
I want you to think about all the advice, rules and help that you’re given in your own life or business. Is there anything in there that actually means working in a way that a) is the antithesis of who you are and b) isn’t entirely essential?
If so, really take stock and if necessary, start filtering it out. Remember, you can always bring it back, but don’t force it when you don’t need to. | 2019-04-25T18:57:58 | https://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk/lifecoach-articles/filter-out-help-that-is-not-helping-you |
Clemson enters the game with a 5-0 record. The Tigers have not been 6-0 since the opening of the 1995-96 season when Clemson opened with an 11-0 start. Heading into this week there were 19 undefeated teams remaining at the Division I level, including four ACC teams.
Clemson holds a 6-1 advantage in the series with Winthrop, but the Eagles defeated the Tigers last year at Clemson by a 66-61 score. Tyrone Walker, a junior forward on this year’s Winthrop team, scored 25 points to lead Winthrop to the victory. Former Clemson player Tywan Harris added 17 off the bench for the NCAA-bound Winthrop team. | 2019-04-24T04:16:59 | https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-vs-winthrop-game-notes/ |
Looks good for a Rav 4. Honda will have too step up its game with the CR-V.
Looks nice, but now I’m disappointed that we’ll soon have the “older” model sitting in my garage.
I still wish I could have gotten a small V6 too.
30MPG is nice on the highways, but pulling out into traffic with only 148HP is tough to adjust to after driving the CL-S.
Looks much nicer than the competition!
My GF got the 2003 AWD Sport model. It's the cutest car ever. Stable and light and useful. The engine choice could be better, like V6 from the Highlander & Camry. This new concept could be better overall. Too much "this and that" styling to make it unique.
The profile really said VW to me, for some reason. But it's a hot car, and I'm not a big SUV guy.
Front looks nice....the rear screams VW Toureg.
I don't like it. Atleast it doesn't look like anything else on the road though.
Looks like Toyota targetting the X3. This may provide some indication as to the direction of Honda's CR-V as well.
I like the nice, natural progression. Good job Toyota.
it is believed to have returned to the program after Japan's supplier network started talking about a V6 in the next-generation Honda CR-V, due sometime in 2007.
Mazda should be complimented ... looks like Toyota stole some Mazda 3 5-door drawings Interesting that they are going to make it bigger ... as big as the RX330?
Looks pretty good. It could compete against the RDX besides the CR-V.
I hate the front. It has to be toned down a bit for the production model.
Meanwhile, Toyota's updated RAV4 shows up alongside the company's new Yaris compact, a version of which will also replace the Echo in the U.S. The RAV4 will also be shown at November's SEMA show. The third-generation RAV4 gets better performance and a larger interior, coupled with new styling front and rear. Both the RAV4 and Yaris will be on sale in the U.S. soon: the RAV4 this fall, the Yaris/Echo early next year.
- Centre differential LOCK !!!!!!!
Toyota Motor Marketing Europe (TMME) will stage the world premier of the all-new RAV4 sport utility vehicle (SUV) and unveil the all-new Yaris three-door and five-door liftbacks, at a press conference at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Both vehicles featured at the press conference will have European specifications.
Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. will launch the all-new RAV4, its most affordable SUV, this fall for the 2006 model year. The completely restyled and reengineered third generation RAV4 will feature significantly improved performance and a larger, more refined and modern interior when it goes on sale.
The RAV4 and Yaris will debut in the U.S. at a press conference at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday, November 2.
Current one looks better. This one looks like they shrunk a Highlander and called it a day. The light up gauges are nice, though.
rear end contours remind me of the B9 Tribeca.
the back end is interesting.
Don't really like the style inside or out. | 2019-04-19T19:09:04 | https://acurazine.com/forums/automotive-news-6/toyota-rav4-news-165786/ |

This "tree-form" timeline offers an alternative way of periodizing the history of advertising in modern Shanghai. It is designed to supplement the multiscalar timelines based on the concepts of timeslices and timescales built with the web applications "Chronozoom" and "La Ligne du Temps" (see "related data"). Because of its "rhizomatic" structure, it cannot be properly refered to as a "timeline" stricto sensu.
Mediums (chapters 1, 2, 3, 6): in the press (daily newspapers, magazines and other periodicals) as well as in the streets of Shanghai (posters, billboards, flags, street-cars, and other "eccentric" mediums).
Actors (chapter 4): on the professional side, advertising agencies or departments of major companies; on the production side, a certain "assemblage" of products, resulting in a specific grouping of business sectors, as well as clearly identified generations of brands and companies; on the consumption side, consumers and markets.
Representations/discourses (what was refered to as "landscapes" in chapter 5 of the dissertation), that is a specific "assemblage" of copy models, discursive styles, appeals and related devices.
In contrast to previous multiscalar timelines, this tree-form periodization essay mostly relies on press advertisements - that is, the "visible" face of the advertising business. Although press advertisements constitute the main - if not the only - focus of the mainstream of cultural studies in the field, none of these works have made a serious attempt to classify and periodize advertising styles, discourses and representations, as well as brands and companies. As we have already noticed, scholarly works on the topic usually do not go beyond giving a more or less organized list of branded goods and visual patterns.
In return, this rhizomatic timeline may prove a powerful tool to date, locate and identify fuzzy and bad-documented materials - such as street photographs - by simply identifying a brand, a company, a type of product, a style or a visual pattern, and by refering to the related part of the tree-form timeline.
For creating this rhizomatic "timeline", we use the mind-mapping tool "X-Mind". To cover the entire period, it proves necessary to make six timelines of this kind. The first one aims to modelize the notion of "assemblage." The five folllowing trees are mere applications of this model based on our five usual samples of the Shanghai-based newspapers Shenbao and North China Daily News (1914, 1924, 1934, 1941, 1949). | 2019-04-23T10:25:45 | http://madspace.org/cooked/Timelines?ID=110 |
Here is this month's update of the Buy and Hold Forever Dividend Portfolio. This and all future updates will be posted here. The spreadsheet tracking the portfolio is available on the original post and here.
In accordance with the results of a poll, where I asked whether Coors (TAP) should replace BUD in the portfolio, TAP has been added at Friday 12/12/08's closing price. The $350 that was originally used to buy BUD was used to buy TAP. The rest of the BUD sale proceeds ($41.47) will count as a dividend.
Disclosure: At the time of writing, I owned JNJ and have a limit order for FRO.
Bernard Madoff, former chairman of the Nasdaq, has apparently been running a Ponzi scheme. According to some, he stole $50 billion--$1 billion for each of his 50 respected years on Wall Street.
The news coverage of this latest Wall Street scandal amuses me. It's shocking, commentators say, that something like this could have happened. The only shocking thing is that more individuals and firms on Wall Street haven't been accused of/caught running Ponzi schemes. After all, what types of individuals work in the financial sphere? Isn't greed one of the primary qualifications? Finding a fraudulent investment business on Wall Street is about as surprising as finding a liquor cabinet empty after entrusting it to an alcoholic.
A Ponzi scheme is a simple thing. The thief sets up a fake investment enterprise, and persuades his friends, coworkers, etc, to invest in it. He then sends them statements or even cash dividends, showing that the investment is going well. This attracts more money from the original investors and new ones. Should any investors wish to withdraw their money (in normal circumstances most won't, because their statements show that their investment is doing well), the money from newer investors is used to pay them. Early investors who decide to withdraw their money are paid by the funds new investors deposit. On it goes, until the thief's greed is satisfied and he makes off with the money or there aren't enough new investors to fund the redemptions of earlier investors.
The latter is what happened to Madoff. Losing money everywhere else, too large a number of his investors were forced to redeem their deposits. If the markets hadn't crashed, it's quite possible Madoff's scheme would go on much longer, and some of his investors could have made money (if their orderly withdrawals coincided with equal or larger new deposits).
This brings me to some of the Ponzi-like schemes almost all of us participate in.
Social Security: The money deducted from our paychecks isn't put away for our future use. Rather, it is used to fund currently retired workers. When we retire, those who work then will fund our SS payments. If this isn't a Ponzi scheme, I don't know what is: early investors are paid by the contributions of new investors. The entire thing is based on the premise that there will be more and more workers in the future. It's far from certain that this premise is true.
Our Economy Before the Credit Crisis: People took out loans on their houses and bought junk. When their houses rose in value, they took out larger loans, repaid the old loans (early investors paid off with the deposits of later investors), and bought more junk. Repeat this a few times. Then some of the loans reset at higher interest rates and couldn't be paid back (more redemptions than can be funded by new investors). This triggered more loan defaults, and the buying of less junk, which resulted in more defaults.
Government (and Corporate) Bonds: You buy a government bond. The interest the government pays you comes from the money it borrows from others, that is, other bond buyers (and to a lesser and lesser extent tax revenues). When your bond matures, the government pays you with more borrowed money (and to a lesser and lesser extent from tax revenues).
Insurance (car, medical, loan default, unemployment, stock broker, etc): This is just like Social Security. We pay a premium to the insurer in exchange for compensation when an event insured against occurs. When the event insured against happens (doctor's visit, stolen or damaged property, etc), the insurer funds our compensation from others' premiums. That is, it's like having new investors pay for the redemptions of earlier investors. If the insurer has too many claims, it won't be able to pay all its clients. Some state unemployment funds are facing this problem. As unemployment rises, they have to pay out more benefits while the premiums they collect get smaller. The last workers, while paying everyone's benefits, will get nothing when they lose their jobs.
Bank Deposits: Not quite a Ponzi scheme, but close. We put our money in the bank, and the bank is supposed to invest it. Put another way, the bank borrows money from us and lends it to others. At some banks we get interest for our trouble. Withdrawls are funded mostly by new depositors, or with other borrowed money. Should a large enough percentage of depositors want their money back at once, the bank will fail. Assuming there's no insurance, not all the money will be returned, as some of the bank's investments will not be good ones.
There are many more Ponzi schemes, I'm sure.
As long as there is confidence, a Ponzi scheme can work for a long period of time. Nevertheless, its design is such that it cannot work indefinitely. Either confidence is lost or it grows too big to be sustainable, and the whole thing collapses. Ponzi scheme collapse isn't just possible. It's inevitable.
So what do we do? Press our policy makers for reforms. Build systems that aren't pyramid schemes. And if you're forced (or choose) to participate in Ponzi schemes, try to get paid in cash or real assets that you can use even if no one wants to buy them from you. For example, if investing in stocks, prefer dividends. Convert some of that cash into stuff you can use just in case cash becomes worthless, etc.
There are three general opinions of technical analysis: (1) it is a science that works, (2) it's a pseudoscience that works because its practitioners all do the same thing when a chart is a certain way, or (3) it's a bunch of hogwash.
I'm somewhere between (2) and (3), but am more open to (1) after tracking Adam Hewison's predictions on spot gold for a couple of months. I would like for (1) to be true, as would most people, for obvious reasons.
Certain chart and volume patterns are supposed to foretell a stock's (commodity's, ETF's, etc) future price movement. Occasionally, if I come across such chart patterns I'll post about them. Then, I'll check back after a while to see how the predictions turn out. With enough such experiments, it'll hopefully be possible to either confirm or deny (3).
Since a stock can go either up or down from any given point, there's a 50% chance for each prediction to turn out correct (I'm ignoring the possibility that it'll stay the same). If technical analysis doesn't work, predictions should be right around 50% of the time. If it works, predictions will be right or wrong the significant majority of the time. What constitutes a significant majority of the time will be determined by the number of predictions made. If it seems wrong to say that technical analysis works if it's wrong almost all the time, remember that it is just as hard to be wrong most of the time as it is to be right most of the time when you have a 50% chance of being right or wrong. Put another way, if it's wrong most of the time, technical analysis can be very useful, as we can do the opposite of what it predicts.
A major thing that can skew results is that I can easily misread charts. For this reason, I'll stick to the so called archetypal patterns: double top, double bottom, head and shoulders, cup and handle, etc, that are easy enough to identify with software.
Today, I'll look at two chart patterns, the "double top" and the "double bottom."
The double top chart has two peaks that are roughly around the same level, with a moderate dip in between. It is supposed to be a bearish signal when the stock goes below the level of the dip between the two peaks.
Here's one stock that has a double top chart: American Capital Agency (AGNC). The pattern manifested over the last seven or so days, in the right corner of the image below. AGNC closed at 19.13 on 12/10/08. Let's see where it will be at the end of next week.
A double bottom is essentially the opposite of a double top. It is two about equal dips with a moderate peak in between. The chart is supposed to be a bullish indicator when the stock's price goes above the peak.
So, let's see how these stocks do in the near future. We're looking for DSCM to go up and AGNC to go down.
Disclosure: I hold no positions in the securities mentioned above.
The Model ETF portfolio's original description and list of holdings is here. All updates, like this one, are available here.
As of this update, the ETF portfolio and the S&P 500 are about even, each down almost 30%.
The best performer in the portfolio has been the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND). It has returned almost 2% since the portfolio was started in August.
The portfolio's inflation protected bond holding, IPE, did not pay dividends since October, although it is supposed to pay monthly. Say hello to deflation. The Consumer Price Index has been negative or zero since August.
If the current deflationary environment continues, BND will probably go up a little. Worried investors are driving long term bond yields lower almost each day.
In the longer term, it's hard to see how we won't have major inflation. At that point BND will probably fall sharply, while IPE will do well. The portfolio's commodities holding, RJI, should also do well when inflation reasserts itself. In the near term, however, it looks like it's going lower. | 2019-04-20T23:07:13 | http://www.slackerwealth.com/2008_12_07_archive.html |

1. It’s the holidays. Who doesn’t love holidays? Holidays bring food, friends, family, and most importantly love. The Thanksgiving spirit in and of itself should give you a reason to celebrate your relationship and love a little extra this week. Spend some time cooking together or watching a game of football. Listen to our love advice and whatever the tradition is, share it together.
2. They put up with you. Okay, this is a big one. If nothing else, you should appreciate your significant other because they have to put up with you on a regular basis. Sure, we all think we’re great and have no flaws, but the fact of the matter is that we do. Thanksgiving is meant to ignite a sense of gratefulness for the people you care about, so be grateful that he/she puts up with you during your best and worst moments.
3. It’s the season of giving. Relationships live and thrive through compromise. The ever-changing cycle of give and take is what makes a relationship tick and function properly. Only you and your significant other know your system of give and take, but consider giving a little extra this holiday because it’s good-natured and it even feels good too. If you know he/she likes their potatoes made a certain kind of way, consider making their favorite dish this Thanksgiving to put a smile on their face and satisfaction in their stomach. The little things go a long way, so consider what they love and try to give them what you can this Thanksgiving.
4. For all the times you didn’t say thank you. We’re all guilty of taking things for granted, but it’s important to stop and appreciate who you have every once in a while. There probably has been countless times that your partner has done something for you that you didn’t notice, like hanging your keys up in the same spot so you don’t forget them. Again, it’s the little things that count. It’s okay to forget a thank you here and there. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to tell the person you love how you truly appreciate every time they do those little things, even when you may not say it every time. It’s the perfect time to say thank you for all the things that typically go unnoticed. Our relationship advice is to spread thanks as generously as you spread your gravy and your holiday is bound to be a success along with your relationship.

I loved Diane Setterfield’s debut novel The Thirteenth Tale, a cross between Kate Morton and The Shadow in the Wind. I had no idea what to expect from her next book but a ghost story was not on my list of possibilities. Not that his is a ‘ghost’ story. Yes there is a tad of the supernatural but more in the subtle, mythological way Neil Gaiman does so well.
As a boy William Bellman kills a rook with a stone. Years later William has built a successful life. Business is good but tragedy snatches away his family. Bellman makes a strange pact with a mysterious man in black and all seems to be right again but some things can never be forgotten or forgiven.
Setterfield intersperses the text with myths, legends and facts about rooks; black birds often mistaken as ravens or crows which only adds to the mystery. Bellman isn’t haunted or stalked by the mysterious Mr Black. In fact it is the opposite. Bellman’s problem is he doesn’t remember. As each tragedy in his life gets more personal he throws himself more into his work. Distracting himself. Making himself forget. Until he almost forgets about life at all. The only thing that can help him remember is Death itself. But death is not only the cause of Bellman’s tragic moments in life it is also part of his business success and his wealth is built upon it.
Diane Setterfield reaffirms her immense gift as a classic storyteller and while I think labelling this a ghost story is a bit misleading it might also lead a few more people to discover how good this author is. If you are a Neil Gaiman fan, give this one a go. | 2019-04-21T12:47:41 | https://coupleofpages.com/2013/10/23/diane-setterfield-bellman-black/ |

The professional requirements for success in the public sector are increasing rapidly. Canadian universities have recognized the importance of education for public servants and are helping them adapt to these changes. Below are some of the leading university MBA programs in public policy and administration.
The School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University is a leading national and international centre for teaching and research in public administration and public policy. Established in 1953, the school has prepared its students for professional careers in the public, private and voluntary sectors both in Canada and abroad.
The school offers graduate programs of study and research in the fields of public administration and public policy leading to the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Public Administration, the graduate Diploma in Public Administration (D.P.A.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Public Policy.
The M.A. program provides an advanced understanding of public policy development, public management and policy implementation. The program offers a choice of four areas of concentration: Policy Analysis; Public Management; Innovation, Science and Environment; and International Development. The International and Development concentration is offered in co-operation with the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
The D.P.A. program offers specializations in: Policy and Program Evaluation; Public Management; Sustainable Development; and Health Policy. The program is intended to serve the needs for continuous learning for public servants and other professionals who seek to strengthen or broaden their conceptual and technical skills in public administration and policy analysis. Students can opt to take the program on either a full-time or part-time basis.
The Ph.D. program focuses directly on the study of public policy from both Canadian and comparative perspectives. The formation and evolution of policy in Canada is a primary focus of the program. Areas of research specialization include: policy institutions and instruments; industrial policy; and social and labour market policy.
The Department of Political Science at Concordia University offers a program of study and research centred upon the theories and practices of public policy and administration leading to a Masters in Public Policy and Public Administration (MPPA).
Launched by the Quebec government, it was initially intended as a means of preparing Anglophones for the civil service, which is persistently short of English-speaking employees.
Today, the aim of the program is to combine academic excellence with professional expertise in order to facilitate an understanding of how public policy is formulated and administered in Québec, Canada and the world. Areas of concentration are: Public Administration and Decision Making; Public Policy and Social and Political Theory; International Public Policy and Administration; Political Economy and Public Policy and Geography and Public Policy.
The program provides internships not only for the Quebec civil service, but also for the federal government and many other organizations.
The public administration tradition at Dalhousie dates back to 1936, as the first institution to award a degree in the field in Canada. In 1968 the school established its Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, and created its own School of Public Administration in 1975.
Today, the school supports nearly 200 graduate students. Just over half are in a conventional two-year Master of Public Administration program while the remainder are mid-career public servants following the school’s online MPA (Management) program. The school also offers certain combined programs in collaboration with other schools as well as a Bachelor of Management program to 400 undergraduate students in partnership with the Schools of Business Administration, Information Management, and Resource and Environmental Studies. The Average completion time is 3-4 years.
In addition to the regular MPA program, the school offers an MPA (Management) degree. The degree has many of the features as the regular MPA but is specially configured for mid-career professionals. The program was originally created in response to a need by the Government of Nova Scotia to develop future leaders from within their public service.
Since 2001 the program has been available in an online format to public servants in the federal government and other provincial governments. In partnership with the Canadian Centre for Management Development (CCMD) and the federal Public Service Commission, graduates of CCMD’s Direxion program can receive advance standing toward the MPA-M.
The school enjoys good relations with senior officials in three bureaucracies, specifically Atlantic regional offices of many federal government departments, provincial governments and municipal governments. Field projects for students in the policy course and internships during the summer are two benefits of those good relations.
Any undergraduate degree is appropriate for admittance as the curriculum in the first year brings all students to a comparable level of knowledge in requisite subjects.
Offered jointly by the faculty of the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg, this Master’s Program in Public Administration is designed to meet the needs of two types of students: individuals who are presently employed and wish to add to their formal educational status; and individuals interested in a career in either public administration or public policy and who are proceeding from undergraduate to graduate studies. As such, the program provides both full and part-time studies.
Its core courses reflect a public administration focus, with an emphasis on policy, practice and the political, economic and social context in which governments operate.
Additionally the program offers significant opportunities or specialization in a range of policy areas such as health care, human resource management, social welfare, aboriginal government, and organizational change.
The Université de Moncton Masters in Public Administration (MPA) program focuses on management, politics and public policy. It is geared towards individuals with a first degree in political science, economics, administration or other social sciences. Applicants to the program need one foreign language.
Part-time and evening/weekend programs are available to students.
The Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, located in the nation’s capital, is uniquely positioned. The School of Political Studies offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (MA) and PhD in public administration.
The school itself was founded in 1969 as the Faculty of Management Science when the Department of Commerce, the Public Administration Department and the School of Hospital Administration joined to create a new academic unit. In September 2007, the University of Ottawa’s state-of-the-art Desmarais Building became the new home of the Telfer School of Management.
Beyond the classroom, it leverages its links with the business community to make real-life, hands-on learning a central requirement of every program. It offers outstanding research and teaching programs in both of Canada’s official languages. | 2019-04-25T17:52:40 | https://canadiangovernmentexecutive.ca/higher-learning/ |

Giving? Sharing? Happy times? Seeing loved ones? Rest and Relaxation? Spiritual meaning?
Stress? Over spending? Exhaustion? Difficult family dynamics? Shopping? Sad memories?
So many people tell me that they do not look forward to Christmas or that they actually dread it. It is such a shame.
I feel sad that generally consumerism has taken over Christmas and that most people seem to go along with the spend, spend, spend attitude that the shops want us to go along with. Years ago I decided to suggest to my friends that we meet up and enjoy quality time together rather than buying for each other; they were relieved! It is so special to do this and we are so lucky that we have everything that we need generally. During the year if I see something then I will buy it for them and it means much more for both of us. This then leaves Christmas as a lovely time to see who I want to, to give to local causes, volunteer, rest and celebrate and watch cheesy Christmas films in my pyjamas!
This time of year also brings out the ‘I should’ do this / see them/ buy for them etc. A great way of giving gifts is to do a family or friends secret santa where you just buy one present for 1 person with a rough spend limit and everyone gets one.
On ‘The Story of Stuff’ (.org), Annie Leonard states that only 1 % of stuff given at Christmas is still in use 6 months after being purchased; so sad. I avoid buying the silly stuff that can just end up in landfill.
Self – care is SO important so why not give yourself the gift of freedom and look after yourself this Christmas to spend it with who you want to and do what you want; with some compromises of course! | 2019-04-19T09:34:03 | https://mayawellbeing.co.uk/what-does-christmas-mean-to-you |
New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS is the direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. More Mario is never a bad thing (I’ve heard it nosed about that Mario has the most appearances in numbers of video games EVER, but it’s pretty much a case of for that), and games in the proper numbered series are always well anticipated. This time around, the challenge is less on hunting down an errant princess than on collecting as many coins as you possibly can. And you’ll need a lot. | 2019-04-22T15:13:29 | https://www.onelargeprawn.co.za/tag/core/ |
This Call to Prayer has been issued to encourage God’s people to meet together to pray that God would work with power in our land.
Our land is under pressure: political and economic uncertainty, moral decadence, tensions regarding freedom of speech and expression, and declining awareness of Christian truth. In addition, people are being impacted by a crisis of identity and uncertainty regarding the purpose of life.
While there is much discussion about these things in the public domain, we know that the real need of the hour is for God to work powerfully through the gospel, bringing real, saving transformation to men and women who in turn become salt and light in the world.
