So, what really sets these Indian malts apart? Is it the confidence that India can produce a single malt, the conviction and courage to make it happen? For the Jagdales, it was time to turn the attention away from Scotland to a country that was really never on anyone’s malt shopping list. They went all out to prove their ‘malted’ mettle, that too on Scotch’s home turf. The first cheers came from a 145-year old pub in Glasgow called Pot Still, where the then-anonymous Amrut’s excellent depth and clear colour were mistaken for a 10-12-year old Scotch from Speyside. “But when drinkers found out it was from India, there was jaw-dropping awe. We had elicited a response from Scotland itself.
Step one towards Amrut, India’s first indigenously made single malt was taken,” recounts Rakshit Jagdale, the third generation distiller from the founding family and executive director of the distillery. With a ‘Liquid Gold’ cheer from Murray, Amrut found a deserving spot in Ian Buxton’s famous book, ‘101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die’. It also opened the doors for other players like Paul John, who chose the unconventional Goa as a setting for a single malt. Post a global launch in the UK, an impressed Murray gave a flattering 96.5 out of 100 to the Paul John Edited version for three consecutive years. Awards like the Asian Distiller of the Year 2015 and the Wizards of Whisky Gold Award 2015 were further shots in the arm, and a hint of the world finally starting to recognise India as a maker of good single malts. That space got even more expanded recently, with Rampur rolling out from the Rampur Distillery and its launch in Las Vegas. Says Sanjeev Banga, Radico Khaitan’s international business head, “It is the Kohinoor of single malts’.
Unlike the blended whisky drinker, the single malt consumer is considered to be more receptive to newer flavours. This is where the three Indian single malts score — in the diversity of their geographical locations and their enterprising efforts at malting and experimenting, going as far as flying in peat from Scotland for that smoky, underlying flavour that compliments the Indian palate. There is a burst of Indian summer in Rampur, a mouthful of sun-kissed beaches in Paul John and a taste of a tropical southern edge to Amrut.
International success has spurred Amrut to innovate constantly. There are as many as 18 variants of Amrut single malts in their stable now, with a 19th version slated to be launched in the next two months. It will be India’s first 12-year-old, called Amrut Greedy Angels, after Greedy Angels 8 and 10 year old, introduced over the last two years. It’s a Chairman’s reserve and a limited edition of 120 bottles, meant for export only. The sheer number of variants is also a reminder to Indian consumers who are still stuck on the hugely popular and neverin- stock Amrut Fusion, that there is a whole big bouquet of Amruts to explore. Paul John’s widely acclaimed Edited is a mix of 5-7 year old whiskies with peat which has travelled all the way from Aberdeen and the Islay regions of Scotland, while their Classic is indeed a treat, made up of malts estimated to have been aged for around seven years in bourbon oak and bottled at cask strength. Non-chill filtered, peated and unpeated and bottled at 46 per cent strength (sometimes even more), these malts are as good as many that are made in Scotland.
We may be the largest consumers and producers of whiskies, but when it comes to a single malt, it’s a different ball game altogether. Says Michael John D’Souza, Paul John’s Master Distiller, “The maturation process is such that every six months I get a different whisky, and I have to sample 30 to 50 barrels a day to keep checking the taste, because one year here is equivalent to almost four years in Scotland. We lose a lot to climate, and that, among many other things, is a challenge.” Another is packaging. As Rakshit of Amrut says, “To conform to European standards, it took us a good one and a half years. Our entire packaging, except the canister, is still done in the UK.” To stand out on a shelf, in a market of more than 4500 whiskies, packaging counts, and Rampur seems to have got an edge on that. Its label features a watermark in Devnagri script that reads 1943, the year of the establishment of the distillery, while the fat and stout bottle, with a heavy glass bottom, sits in an ornate silk pouch.
Also Rakshit Jagdale’s favourite, this is a limited edition that gets its name from a mixed vegetable dish in Tamil. True to its title, it is matured in four casks – bourbon, sherry, brandy and then rum. Reserved for international markets.
Select Cask Michael D’Souza introduced us to this single malt, reserved for the international markets. Bottled at a high 55.5 per cent, created using peat imported from Scotland, notes of BBQ smoke, sugar and slightly damp, earthy notes, with bitter orange accompanied by hints of tropical fruit and spice.
Selects Casks It has a nice maltiness, with notes of vanilla, caramel, candy, ginger root, brown sugar, fruity on adding water, a balance of spices, finishing with a creamy lingering taste.

The pair, who were shown round by local delivery office manager Rogerio Machado, passed on their own early season’s greeting to the hardworking staff ahead of the peak Christmas period.
The festive season is Royal Mail’s busiest period in the year, as millions of people shop online for gifts as well as sending Christmas cards and parcels.
Kate Forbes MSP said: “It’s always a privilege to visit the posties who spend December delivering our parcels, cards and letters.
“They’re the unsung heroes who are up at the crack of dawn to sort the mail, pack it in their postbags and then visit every home with the day’s post.
“At the beginning of December, work is already busier than normal. With online shopping as it is, it will get much busier before it gets any better. Just after 7am, all the posties had a smile on their face despite the mountain of post and the tight deadlines.
Maree Todd added: “Kate Forbes and I had an early morning visit to the Royal Mail Delivery Office in Dingwall this week.
“It really is a hive of activity at this time of year - busy, but incredibly efficient.
“It was great to get the opportunity say thank you in person to all the posties. They work incredibly hard all year, not least during the Christmas period!”.
The last recommended posting dates for Christmas are Tuesday 18 December for second class, Thursday 20 December for first class, and Saturday 22 December for special delivery. | 2019-04-23T16:50:28 | https://kateforbes.scot/news/highland-msps-thank-local-posties-as-they-gear-up-to-deliver-a-first-class-christmas/ |

AUSTRALIA - Murdoch University researchers are leading a project to develop a salt-tolerant perennial crop capable of filtering fish farm waste water while providing feed for livestock.
Associate Professor Alan Lymbery from Murdoch’s Fish Health Unit and Freshwater Fish Group said NyPa Forage – a commercial cultivar of the saltgrass Distichlis spicata – could offer solutions to a number of environmental issues.
“Dryland salinity is a major problem in Australia, affecting approximately 5.7 million hectares of agricultural land – a figure which is expected to rise to 17 million hectares by 2050,” Professor Lymbery said.
“The abundance of saline groundwater has prompted interest in growing fish on salt-affected farmland, but disposal of nutrient-enriched waste water is an issue, as runoff can cause problems such as groundwater contamination and algae blooms.
“As a potentially simple and cost effective solution, we looked for a salt-tolerant perennial with a large root system that could filter and trap effluent – one with the yield, protein level and digestibility to become a livestock feed.
Professor Lymbery said tests showed NyPa Forage removed 60 to 90 per cent of total nitrogen loads and at least 85 per cent of ammonia, nitrite/nitrate, total phosphorous and ortho-phosphorus loads.
After fertilisation, crude protein levels and digestibility were roughly equal to grass hay and sufficient for maintenance or moderate liveweight gains in adult sheep or cattle – with no accumulation of toxic minerals.
Nutritive value was greatest when the plants were cropped at 21 or 42 days.
“What we need now is to expand these results to a full field study where we can run livestock on fertilised plants and make sure they feed at expected levels,” Professor Lymbery said.
He said the project could contribute to the future-food challenge in years to come.
“Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food production system and is expected to continue to increase in importance as the returns from wild fisheries decline,” Professor Lymbery said. | 2019-04-18T13:21:43 | https://thefishsite.com/articles/salttolerant-plant-could-benefit-aquaculture-and-agriculture |

As I sit in colorful Colorado, the notion that water sparks political and bureaucratic conflicts seems somewhat far-fetched. The shower works, the toilet flushes and potable water pours out of the tap with just a flick of my wrist. But while I fill up my water bottle and listen to NPR or read the local newspaper, I am struck by the rising frequency, tenacity and scope of water-related disputes and concerns.
The beat writer offers a nice and concise summary….water conflicts are due to water needs for this cause or that cause and not having enough of it to go around. Personal anecdotes abound. Seasoned farmers tell their stories, public and environmental health advocates issue cautions and politicians make calls for decisive leadership and sound policy. In this context, how do water managers manage? What is the managerial environment they confront and why?
Like many issues, water policy has not suffered from a lack of institutional attention. Hydro-politics was among the earliest Supreme Court cases and were used by the Justices to consider the relationship between states and the federal government i.e. the Supremacy Clause (Gibbons v. Ogden 1824).
Since then, governments have enacted a litany of formal laws, regulations and ordinances that directly affect water delivery and policy. Yet – the institutional maze and decision making does not stop, rather it becomes more complicated.
A layer of indirect laws also impacts water politics i.e. the Endangered Species Act, varying legal doctrines and laws regulating natural resource extraction. States, water districts and courts, regional authorities, service providers, counties and cities, landowners also have their say during intergovernmental hydro-conversations, which may result in disagreements over goals and procedures.
But, as is often discussed on the first day of the first class in many MPA programs, formal laws are often incomplete, vague and ambiguous. When this occurs, water managers must rely on more informal norms, best management plans/practices, professionalization and standard operating procedures to govern and deliver safe water.
Water managers also encounter a veritable cornucopia of actors – both public and private. Each adds potential complexity to water managers’ ‘choose your own adventure book.’ On day one, a manager might interact with a private corporation delivering water to millions that must submit compliance data relative to the Clean Water Act. The next day, he or she might offer advice on the best available control technology for smaller water systems. On the third day, a water manager may e-mail a manager from a neighboring entity, tribe or business (upstream or downstream) about meeting standards within the watershed. During day four, the public may need to be contacted so that public engagement requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System are met and that public programs are met with less community resistance. To close out the week, this same manager may need to consult with other environmental managers so that the true impacts of an air or land use policy on water can be accurately assessed and anticipated.
The point: on any given day – strong managers will call upon a wide range of skills and competencies to effectively perform their job.
The adventure does not end. When water managers perform their jobs effectively, they are likely to remain off the agenda of policymakers and groups. But, when quantity (perhaps a drought or increasing demand) or quality (a focusing event) is threatened, managers are likely to encounter a barrage of interest group concerns and demands of elected officials.
The ski and winter sports industries (especially in Colorado), natural gas operators, other mining operations, cities, consumers, regional water districts, public health, environmentalists, farmers/ranchers, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts may all contact drinking water administrative officials or receptive elected officials.
Managers must also decide among multiple and powerful values and symbols. They are likely to consider concerns over utility costs, environmental justice, social equity, renewable energy, economic development, good jobs and environmental/health protection. Each can pull managers in varying and not necessarily the most compatible directions. The framing or understanding of water as a public health issue versus energy development has profound implications – both in terms of a manager’s behavior but also the behavior of the various groups, agencies and elected officials.
In many adventure books, decisions are limited to either/or choices, in this book, administrative decisions are made in scenarios of multiple players, contingencies and circumstances. What does all this mean?
Is my book a page-turner? Or, is it more like the story that will never end and requires several volumes? The answer is both.
Conflicts over water are inevitable–the political stakes and dollar amounts are high, suggesting that water is a never-ending tale. But, my story is also a page-turner. Water officials, much like other professionals, encounter a diverse political landscape. There are many institutional twists and turns, political wins and losses, actors come and go and powerful symbols rise and fall with only some semblance of a rational prioritization blueprint.
Very nice summary. Mainly as a consumer, my concern is at what point do we value health and safety over other water uses?

Every now and then it's useful if your application tweaks itself to the environment its running in; be it development, testing or production.
For example, during development its great for your web application to serve up 500 error pages with stack traces, session dumps and other detailed system information. But in production, so not to scare users, you're gonna want to turn that off and serve up a plain Internal Application Error page instead.
Other reasons may include environment specific database connections, email accounts and so on.
IocEnv is a small utility library for Fantom that scans system information to determine what environment your application is running in. It looks at environment variables, program arguments and even offers a manual override option.
IocEnv is built on top of IoC and makes the IocEnv class available as an IoC service. It also integrates with IocConfig to give you a handful of injectable config values. All of these may be freely used by your IoC application.
The IocEnv class holds the environment setting and has handy utility methods for some common use cases.
You may manually set the environment when you create an IocEnv instance.
The ordering means the environment variables are checked first but may be overridden by program arguments. Subsequently, program arguments may be overridden by setting the environment manually.
The convention for prefixing program arguments with a hyphen is taken from the @Opt facet and AbstractMain. If no environment setting is found, it defaults to PRODUCTION as this is often the lowest common denominator. It also means it's easy to deploy your application to production, which is good, as prod deployments can be tricky enough!
To ensure apps always run in development mode on your local machine, set a new environment variable called ENV to the value dev or development.
Sometimes you want to override the environment setting programmatically - which is common in testing. You can do this by manually creating the IocEnv service in a test specific AppModule, passing in whatever environment you want.
As we can't change or un-make the existing IocEnv service, we create a new service instance and contribute it as a service override. IoC then uses the override everywhere in place of the original.
We have seen it is useful and important for an application to distinguish between the environments it runs in. We've looked at how the IocEnv library is environmentally aware and how your application can use it to make decisions dependent on the environment it runs in.
31 Jul 2016 - Updated examples to use IoC 3.0 and IocEnv 1.1.

The MM Road & Track Grip Box takes the stock Mustang suspension design to the next level. This combination of parts provides great performance while retaining ride quality suitable for daily driving. Excellent for canyon carving, autocrossing, track days, and daily commuting.
The Road & Track Box takes handling performance as far as the stock suspension design can go while still retaining good ride quality. It provides all the basics: chassis stiffening, higher-rate springs with matching dampers, caster camber plates, improved rear control arms, a Panhard bar, and much more. The difference in performance from a stock suspension is amazing. See the Benefits tab.
What if I want more handling performance?
MM has added optional upgrades to the original Road & Track Box that debuted in 1998. These upgrades draw from our top-level Maximum Grip Box and take the performance of the Road & Track Box even higher.
You'll get more performance with more customizations; on the Options 3 tab see "More Options: The Most Popular Parts to Add."
Check out our Maximum Grip Box.
Motor Trend confirmed the impressive handling boost that comes with the Road & Track Box when they tested it for 5.0 Mustang magazine (December 1998 issue). A high-mileage 1990 LX outfitted with MM's Road & Track Box tied for the third-fastest slalom speed ever recorded by Motor Trend at that time. To this day, our 72.5 MPH slalom speed is still near the top of Motor Trend's all-time bests.
Choose between 3 different damper brands; MM, Koni, or Bilstein. All are excellent.
MM Street dampers are most suitable for upgrading to coil-overs. The MM strut housing is the most robust available, and is preferred for track use. The MM shock has the largest-diameter shaft for best performance and durability. Excellent performance and ride quality.
Koni SA dampers are adjustable, for those who know how to evaluate handling and make the proper adjustments to optimize the dampers. Easy conversion to coil-overs.
Bilstein HD dampers provide great performance and good ride quality. Shocks require modification to convert to coil-overs.
What's in the Road & Track Box? See the Features tab.
See the How to Order tab and the Options tab for info about all the parts in this Road & Track Box, along with the choices you need to make to place an order.
Specify steering rack (stock SN95 power rack or manual rack) when ordering. Use the Additional Information field on the first checkout page.
Specify front swaybar diameter when ordering. Use the Additional Information field on the first checkout page.
This Grip Box may be customized to suit your needs. Contact our Tech Associates for help putting together a custom Road & Track Box for your Mustang.
Please get familiar with the parts included in the Road & Track Box, as listed on the Options tab. Many parts are available in multiple varieties. While it's common to need help from an MM Tech Associate to decide which variety of any particular part is best for your Mustang, once you understand the basic options we can assist you better.
Once you have a list of the exact parts you need, either place your order from this page and then type your list of part numbers into the Additional Information field on the first checkout page, or place your order by phone.
Select whether or not your Mustang is a convertible. That determines which springs fit and whether a k-member brace will fit.
Select the brand of struts and shocks you prefer.
Keep in mind that customization also means that we can delete items from a Road & Track Box. If you already have some parts from another manufacturer, let us know and we'll check to see if they all play nicely together. On the other hand, if you're ready to load up your Mustang with a complete street-friendly and track-worthy handling package, we'll hook you up.
The basic kit on this page shows the base starting price. After you place an order, we'll give you a sales quote detailing all the parts you've chosen for your customized Road & Track Box, showing the current pricing.
What's my next step, you ask? Go to the Options tab.
Customizing your Road & Track Box means choosing the best combination of parts for your Mustang from the available options. Listed below are the available versions for each part in the Road & Track Box. You may be able to choose the most suitable version after reading through the descriptions in this section, but if you need help, knowing the available options makes your conversation with an MM Tech Associate go more smoothly. Just take it step by step, and all will become clear. Options appear in order of importance. Follow the links to the individual product pages and make note of your choices and questions.
As each Road & Track Box is customized to suit your needs, we can also delete any item you wish.
We need to know whether your Mustang is a convertible so we know whether to include a K-member brace. Select the correct option button above. Convertibles have a factory-installed X-brace that interferes with the MM 4-point k-member brace.
The heart of your Mustang's high-performance handling is the combination of springs and dampers. We've made things easy by already basing this package around our own Road & Track springs. These progressive springs have a front rate of 650-750 lb/in. That's as high as we ever recommend for a street-driven Mustang, and is only slightly higher than the stock spring rates of the Bullitt, Mach One, and 2003-04 Cobra models.
Choose dampers from 3 brands, all well-suited for this package. Factors to consider are whether you may ever convert to coil-overs, and if you want damper adjustability. Keep in mind that adjustable dampers require adjustment to match the springs and your Mustang. Feel free to consult with an MM Tech Associate before choosing.
Standard Bilstein rear shocks require modifications for a coil-over conversion. If a future coil-over conversion is a possibility, alert us; we can include shocks that are already modified.
Several parts are available in different versions. Read about the differences between versions, then make your choice. All option choices listed below may be specified in the Additional Information field on the first checkout page, or call us and speak with an MM Sales or Tech Associate.
Choose the main plate finish.
Choose the series of MM rear lower control arms. The differences between the 3 different series are in the bushings used and the horsepower rating. Each series has an adjustable ride-height version; specify the control arm part number in the comments field at checkout.
Sport series are rated to 400rwhp, with urethane bushings at both ends.
Heavy-Duty series are rated to 400rwhp, with a spherical bearing at one end for better axle control.
Extreme-Duty series are rated up to 1,000rwhp (600 rwhp for the adjustable-height version) because there are spherical bearings at both ends.
The standard items included in the Road & Track Box, for which there is only one version, are listed on the Features tab.
All option choices listed below may be specified in the Additional Information field on the first checkout page, or call us and speak with an MM Sales or Tech Associate.
By far the most popular option to add to a Road & Track Box. If you choose to add a front coil-over conversion, we'll need to know what front spring rate you'd like. Please read our Guide to Choosing Spring Rates and Dampers. We'll match a stock-location rear spring to your chosen front coil-over rate. For typical street-driven Mustangs we recommend front spring rates ranging from 250 lb/in to 325 lb/in. Front coil-over rates over 325 lb/in will also require a rear coil-over conversion. Need help selecting a spring rate? Contact an MM Tech Associate.
Befuddled? Impatient? Hopelessly lost? Contact us.
What does the Road & Track Box do?
It improves your Mustang's handling to the highest level possible for the stock suspension design. When you want your Mustang to handle optimally for the stock design while retaining street manners, you need the Road & Track Box. The Road & Track Box gives you faster and more stable cornering, which means more fun!
For the highest level of handling performance, see the Maximum Grip Box.
Now go to the Features 2 tab.
MM Strut Tower Brace. Note that aftermarket parts such as superchargers, ignition distributors, and cold air kits may interfere with a strut tower brace and prevent installation.
Confused? Got questions? Contact us.
What's the difference between the Road & Track Box and the Maximum Grip Box?
The Road & Track Box replaces stock items with parts that provide much higher performance. It retains the stock suspension design. The Maximum Grip Box changes the basic Mustang suspension design; it changes the rear suspension to a Torque-arm (a variation of a 3-link) and changes the front suspension geometry significantly.
The Maximum Grip Box includes many more items, so there's a significant difference in the cost of these two Grip Boxes.
Is there anything in between these 2 Grip Boxes?
Yes. The Road & Track Box can be customized. The most popular option is to change from the conventional stock-location front springs to coil-overs. This provides a significant reduction in body roll during cornering and much quicker steering response, while not adversely affecting ride quality; it's a win-win for performance and ride quality, a rarity.
Other popular customizations include adding a Torque-arm and a kit of front and rear swaybars. These all improve performance above that of the standard Road & Track Box, splitting the gap to the Maximum Grip Box.

Mi J., Bai Y., 2018, Research on the Cost Control of Pollution Control in the Exploitation Process of Shale Gas, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 71, 619-624.
Reducing the cost of pollution control during exploitation of shale gas is of great significance for achieving sustainable development of energy and environmental. This paper takes the cost control of pollution control in the exploitation process of shale gas as the research objective, constructs the accounting system of pollution control cost in the exploitation process of shale gas and establishes the systematic measurement model of environmental cost. The M shale gas company is taken as an example and conducts the case analysis of the cost control of pollution control in the exploitation process of shale gas. The research results show that the pollution control cost in the exploitation process of shale gas includes environmental prevention and control cost and environmental damage cost. Through the analysis of the cost control result of M company Analysis, it realizes the internalization of external cost. This study provides references for shale gas companies to achieve scientific management and control decision-making of environmental costs and is of certain practical significance. | 2019-04-21T20:12:50 | https://www.cetjournal.it/index.php/cet/article/view/CET1871104 |

"We are now only 3 weeks from the start of the outdoor season and to make this season bigger & better than ever before we are looking for a few willing parents to come together to form a Junior Social Committee to take things forward “off the field”.
This is about making our Friday club nights even better, perhaps creating new events and linking up with the adult social committee to bring together both sections of the club. As an example we would like to have a “kit amnesty evening” where outgrown cricket kit can be recycled to younger members whilst leaving the coaches to coach. If interested please contact Dave Howorth"
The adults social committee has achieved some great things and so there is definite scope for a colts section social team too.

INTRODUCTION: Inflammation is a well-known physiological response to protect the body against infection and restore tissue injury. Nevertheless, the chronic inflammation can trigger various inflammatory associated diseases/disorder. Moringa oleifera is a widely grown plant in most tropical countries and it has been recognized traditionally for several medicinal benefits.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of M. oleifera extract on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) - stimulated macrophages.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The anti-inflammatory effect of M. oleifera hydroethanolic bioactive leaves extracts was evaluated by assessing the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production during Griess reaction and the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in macrophages.
RESULTS: Interestingly, we found that M. oleifera hydroethanolic bioactive leaves extract significantly inhibited the secretion of NO production and other inflammatory markers such as prostaglandin E2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. Meanwhile, the bioactive extract has induced the production of IL-10 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, M. oleifera hydroethanolic bioactive leaves extract effectively suppressed the protein expression of inflammatory markers inducible NO synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells p65 in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.
CONCLUSION: These findings support the traditional use of M. oleifera plant as an effective treatment for inflammation associated diseases/disorders.
SUMMARY: Hydroethanolic extracts of Moringa oleifera effectively inhibit the NO production in LPS induced inflammatory model.M. oleifera crude extracts successfully modulate the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in LPS stimulated macrophages.M. oleifera extracts suppressed the expression of inflammatory mediators in LPS stimulated macrophages. | 2019-04-22T22:50:21 | http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/m-oleifera-extracts-suppressed-expression-inflammatory-mediators-lps-stimulate |

Did you notice that I made some changes around here?
A new banner for my website and facebook page. I think I put it over on twitter as well.
I've added a new button as I'm sure you've seen over on the right.
While Melanie was at it I had her design a new disclosure banner for me as well. This one for generic reviews that I do.
And this one for the reviews for the TOS crew. :) I wanted to have a clear way of telling them apart immediately. :) Plus the crew needs precise wording for the legal end of things. This way I have a pretty disclosure banner and meet needed requirements as well.. works out good eh?
So just who is the Melanie who helped me out? She's a young adult in our church just starting to spread her business wings. You can find her at her website. Bear with her as she needs to flesh out her website abit yet. :) Didn't she do a good job for me? | 2019-04-25T02:25:21 | https://anetintimeschooling.weebly.com/a-net-in-time-blog/playing-around-with-website-fluff |
For a couple of years you have seen my Preacher posts, so I thought I would give my brief thoughts on what has been going on so far, and let everyone know a little about the comic tie-ins for the major characters. The TV series has definitely strayed from the comic storyline, but the characterizations have been comparable across the platforms. Aside from some laughs and gore, characterizations are about all the viewers are working with at this point.
I have a two-fold luxury in watching this show. First, I read them all. Second, I watch with my soon-to-be wife who has no background for this whatsoever. I’m much more judgy than her due to my background knowledge, but also she asks the questions for the parts she doesn’t understand. So I have a built-in confusion meter sitting next to me who tells me which parts are a little blurry.
In Preacher the comic, the thing about Jesse is that he didn’t preach. The church blew up in issue #1 and the comic went out on the road. On TV we have the story of Annville, a story we never really got to read. Theory for this could be any of a multitude of reasons. One could be sheer production budget. Building some sets, renting/renovating a church, etc. is a whole lot cheaper than shoots from location each week. It’s also clear to the former reader, not to the TV viewer, that they are setting up heavily for some story lines in the comics.
Salvation, a great arc named after a small town, but which started at issue #41, is being fused into the introduction of the entire series. What they are actually doing is blending Annville and the town of Salvation. There was actually more of Salvation in the series than there was Annville. But, as small Texas towns go, for a TV series it makes sense that they use them as the same town. Salvation was one of the most memorable arcs of the series, and for all intents and purposes separating Annville and Salvation isn’t really necessary. It’s a natural blend and a natural introduction. As readers know, they must be on the brink of showing Odin Quincannon’s dark side. It’s gonna get messy!
Wonder about that weird Western-style murderous beginning to episode 2? It’s the first appearance of The Saint of Killers. How about the introduction to “The Grail” with a mysterious man in a hat in a movie theatre in episode 3? It’s Herr Starr! The woman is assumed to be Featherstone. Everyone has been waiting for the price of #13 to go even more nuts, but the episode passed with little fanfare. In all honesty I think the non-reader didn’t realize that this was him. If you read it, you knew immediately.
For the non-reader, confusion over Saint and Starr are understandable. Their momentary introductions do nothing but bring in questions for the viewer. I think this is the perfect technique in production; they are giving a nod to the reader who will always complain that the show is different than the book. It’s like they are saying “Hey! Don’t worry! You saw Saint and you saw Starr! The best arcs are still coming!” Was that bloody kiss between Tulip and Cass just random or not? There are a lot of deliberate clues placed throughout.
I know I’m going sacrilegious here, but we saw what happened after the characters “found themselves” and reached a comfort level with their roles in the subsequent seasons of Game of Thrones and Walking Dead. I’m definitely not ready to anoint Preacher in this light yet, but I think this is going to pick up to Breaking Bad plot pace, rather than slow to Better Call Saul. So far it’s in the middle.
I’m enjoying this slow burn. I don’t need all the arcs at once, and I’m completely sure all hell is about to break loose. Quite literally. Stay tuned.
For the speculation people nothing has really changed: you need #13 first Herr Starr and #42 first Odin Quincannon. Neither is a new spec, but keep looking! #13 is probably the strongest play in the series other than #1. We have only had a Starr cameo in episode 3, so grab a #13 before the first full appearance!
Don’t have time to read all 66 issues? You have time for these! Pick up the one-shots. If you want to know the character stories before they hit the screen, and be less confused, without too many spoilers of what’s to come for them, grab these Preacher Specials (which are very affordable). All these characters have already appeared in the first 4 episodes. I could see them have full origin episodes, so they could be spoilers in that way, but not really for the future of the series.
Saint of Killers (1-4 mini-series) – This is clearly the plotline they are using with his introduction.
The Story of You-Know-Who (Eugene aka Arseface origin) – Don’t know how much more they are, or are not, going to tell his story. They already alluded to what happened to him.
One Man’s War (Herr Starr origin) – Must read. Great background on him and The Grail.
Cassidy: Blood & Whiskey – Also a must read. I’ve been pointing out this to people since I saw that pilot.
Excellent job brother. Great read. Good call on the 13’s, not new spec but certainly a good reminders, especially as some people are cooling down on the show, we could very well see an explosion of interest once the story starts taking shape.
I’ve never read 1 issue of Preacher, but with Shaun’s wisdom, I feel like I know what is going on. Thanks Shaun!
great job. Thank you for the recommendations about the characters, the one shots look like they are great reads.
This is awesome. Preacher is one of my top 5 best reads. Loved it.
Great article! As a long time fan of the series, I love the show. I think Walking Dead created a great formula where they follow the basic plot points of the series but change it up just enough to make it new for the readers. Preacher seems to be doing the same.
Spoiler here for non readers – the end of Preacher is terrible. The last issue is just the worst. It reads as if Garth Ennis had an arguement with DC, took his ball and went home. Something obviously happened there… The animosity towards heros in “The Boys” is telling.
I’m happy to see him writing this show and exploring these characters again. I have a feeling we are going to get a completely new ending on this series. I’m excited.
I am a huge Preacher fan! This was a great article.
Loved this article. Good job Shuan! I watch it with my wife who has no idea whats going on and asks a ton of questions. It has been slow, but when things finally get crazy, I have a feeling it’s gonna be nuts!
Thanks friends. I’m patiently waiting for this to break loose. I know in 2016 we want everything immediately… But I’m content so far.
Only gripe about the TV show is that Shaun Leggitt should be playing Jesse Custer…and there’s not enough drinking in it, other than that it’s all cool.

Apply for a business license to operate a tree cutting business in your area.
3 " Become Licensed, Bonded and Insured"
Tree cutting businesses provide a variety of services, including tree branch trimming, cutting and stump removal. Developing professional knowledge of tree care is a crucial first step in beginning a successful business. This knowledge, plus excellent customer service, will help you to develop a strong, profitable business. This is particularly true if you live in an area where there is a year-round need for tree-cutting services.
Look into the proper training and certification. While in many cases, training tends to come in the form of on-the-job training, it is possible to be certified through the International Society of Arboriculture's (ISA) training programs.
Apply for a business license to legally operate a tree cutting business. Contact the county clerk's office or small administration office in your area to learn more about business licensing procedures. Apply for an Employer Identification Number through the Internal Revenue Service. Use this number on business documents such as tax forms, business registration applications or to open a business bank account.
Register your tree cutting business with your state's secretary of state's office to form a limited liability company, corporation or partnership. Purchase business insurance, such as general liability, worker's compensation, property and auto, from a licensed insurance provider.
Lease storage space or create a space in your home for tree cutting equipment. Contact a property storage company to inquire about storage space sizes and monthly rates or convert your garage or basement into a storage space. Create a home office to store computer equipment, client files, bookkeeping and invoicing software.
Purchase tree cutting equipment. Equipment may include chainsaws, pruning shears, ladders, climbing safety equipment, stump removal equipment and safety gear such as safety glasses, gloves and work boots. Purchase a company vehicle to transport equipment and employees from job site to job site. If providing mulching or tree removal services, purchase or lease an industrial mulching machine and a truck large enough to haul tree branches and trunks.
Secure a domain name and web hosting for your business. You can either design your own website or hire someone else to do it for you. Once your site is operational, choose several social media platforms on which to become active. By posting relevant content, you can begin to form relationships with potential customers.
Advertise your tree cutting business by creating promotional fliers that include a list of tree cutting and removal services and business contact information. Create business cards to hand out to potential clients. List your services in local business directories. Attend local home improvement trades shows and small business events to meet potential clients.
Contact local government agencies, such as the parks department, to bid on government contracts that request tree cutting services.
Contact local nurseries, parks departments and other agencies that regularly use mulch to dispose of leftover mulch your clients don't want. Donate or sell mulch or tree parts.
Assess each tree cutting job before agreeing to providing your services as you may need additional equipment and employees to complete the job.

Although chart success proved elusive following his transatlantic #1 with Oh, Pretty Woman in 1964, Roy Orbison remained a hugely popular live draw. Reeling from the death of his wife in a motorcycle accident in June 1966, he threw himself into touring.
In January 1967 he travelled to Australasia as part of a package that also included the Walker Brothers and the Yardbirds. Despite suffering from a cold on arrival, he played superbly, backed by his regular band the Webbs.
His two performances at Melbourne's Festival Hall were broadcast on Circle J Radio and are presented here in full, together with background notes and images. | 2019-04-25T10:49:06 | http://www.odmcy.com/catalog/index.php/catalogue/9-rox-vox/885-roy-orbison-live-in-melbourne-1967-cd |

LONDON (Reuters) - BP (BP.L) will cut around 275 staff and contractor jobs in its Alaska operations in early 2015 following the sale of its interests in four oil fields in the North Slope area, it said on Tuesday.
BP, one of the largest oil producers in Alaska, last April announced the sale of the fields to privately held Hilcorp, though it remains committed to developing Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, the largest oil field in North America.
BP has a total of 8,300 employees and contractors in Alaska, according to its website.
Its plans for expansion in Alaska include an additional investment of $1 billion over five years, including two additional drilling rigs, one in 2015 and a second in 2016. “The Alaska business is still very important to BP. It’s just a smaller business than it was before,” a BP spokesman said.
BP is also considering production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from reserves in Alaska, the company has said.
The latest cuts are evidence of BP making divestments to simplify its business globally, analysts at Barclays said, though it has further to go.
“What it has not done is simplify the cost base ... This is set to be the next focus for the group and supports our view that material efficiency gains can be made,” Barclays said.
BP shares have come under pressure in recent months due to uncertainties over the size of the fine the company faces over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill as well as over the impact of Western sanctions on its operations in Russia.
By 6:40 a.m. EDT, BP shares were trading 0.6 percent lower at 466 pence. | 2019-04-22T18:37:30 | https://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCAKBN0HB14S20140916 |
MADISON, Wis. – Almost a thousand cases of potential election day registration fraud were referred to district attorneys across Wisconsin following the 2016 general election, and questions remain over thousands more voters who can’t be located or verified, according to data from the state Elections Commission.
All together, 368,392 people registered to vote on election day in November 2016. When the state sent postcards to their addresses to verify their residency after the election, 10,461 came back as undeliverable. Local officials claim they were able to reconcile all but 3,871 of them. That means, officially, 3,871 voters in the 2016 election cannot be verified and potentially voted illegally. Unofficially, there could be as many as 10,461 cases of voter fraud from the 2016 election due to election day registrations (EDR) alone.
Municipalities in Milwaukee County take that possibility seriously. A total of 44,797 people registered to vote on election day in Milwaukee County, and 2,563 postcards bounced back. When all was said and done, the City of Milwaukee referred 886 cases of potential voter fraud to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office after deactivating the individuals’ registrations. An additional 32 cases were referred by the city of Greenfield, for a total of 918 in Milwaukee County.
Milwaukee County assistant district attorney Bruce Landgraf did not return calls asking how many cases were opened in response to the mountain of referrals following the 2016 election.
If these election day registration postcards are returned because of a bad address, it’s the job of local election officials to correct the data or deactivate the voter’s registration and refer the case to the DA. That’s state law.
Even though 3,871 voters across the state couldn’t be verified, only 954 were referred to the local district attorneys. According to state officials, all of them should have been referred, because that’s the law.
“If the postcard comes back to the municipal clerk as undeliverable, the clerk shall remove the voter from the eligible list and provide the voter’s name to the district attorney’s office,” said state Elections Commission spokesman Reid Magney.
Clerks are also supposed to try correcting problems first, by calling the voter or correcting their information using other documents. “That weeds out people who moved after the election but before the postcards got mailed a month or two later, typographical errors and post office issues that would have made the postcard undeliverable,” Magney said.
Neil Albrecht, executive director of the City of Milwaukee Election Commission, said the city has a policy of investigating returned postcards, then deactivating the registrations that can’t be confirmed by other methods and referring all the cases to the district attorney.
The question is, do the DAs act on the referrals, or do they simply gather dust? Albrecht said his agency isn’t privy to that information.
“Occasionally we learn about whatever investigations occurred, but they have no obligation to report back to us on the status of the cases,” he said.
The city of Madison has the opposite problem. Out of 20,491 same-day registrations, 842 follow-up postcards came back as undeliverable.
Somehow, the city managed to resolve all 842 mismatches without deactivating the registration of a single suspect voter – and without a single referral to the DA.
When asked about their policy for resolving same-day registration problems, Madison elections officials directed MacIver News to the state Elections Commission. A message left with city clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl was not returned.
Madison and Milwaukee stand out like hanging chads, but the state is plagued by a patchwork of often conflicting local practices when it comes to deactivating suspect same-day registrations and referring them to the DA. Some local officials follow state law to the letter. Others, not so much.
The city of Janesville automatically deactivates all voters whose cards are returned. Of 3,651 same-day registrations in the 2016 presidential election, 217 follow-up cards came back. All 217 registrations were deactivated. However, their policy for referring suspicious cases to the district attorney is subjective.
“We had some 17-year-olds that registered to vote in the primaries and we referred those to the DA,” he said.
The small Sawyer County town of Hayward, population 3,279, has a similar policy. Out of 186 same-day registrations, 105 EDR cards were returned, all of which were deactivated. Like Godek, town clerk Bryn Hand said they deactivate the registration for all returned cards, but only refer obvious cases of vote fraud to the DA.
She attributed the large number of bad voter addresses to the town’s “mobile population” – pointing to vacationers and the county’s Ojibwe reservation as possible sources of the bad voter addresses. She said it’s been a while since there was an obvious case of fraud, but recalled the time a man voted both in Hayward and Duluth.
The city of Appleton deactivated the registrations of 94 individuals, but referred zero cases to the Outagamie County DA. And like Madison, city officials referred MacIver News to the Elections Commission.
But the Elections Commission’s Magney pointed to the state law requiring local election officials to refer all individuals whose registrations are deactivated to the DA – clearly not the practice in Appleton and elsewhere.
Local officials “shall change the status of the elector from eligible to ineligible on the registration list, mail the elector a notice of the change in status, and provide the name of the elector to the district attorney for the county where the polling place is located and the elections commission,” states the statue cited by Magney.
But a staggering 316 municipalities flouted that law, deactivating more registrations than they referred to their DAs, potentially opening the door to thousands of cases of illegal voting.
At the very least, it’s further evidence of the slipshod, ad hoc management of Wisconsin’s voter data.
Required checks comparing voter registration information against the Department of Motor Vehicles database provides even more evidence that the voter rolls are packed with bad data and ripe for abuse.
The check routinely turns up errors and mismatched voter data that local election officials are supposed to clean up.
Following the 2016 presidential election, a total of 145,109 voter records compared against DMV data came back with conflicting information. Milwaukee alone had 22,359 voter mismatches. Madison had 10,097; Green Bay had 2,815; Kenosha had 2,073; and Wausau had 1,958 bad records.
College students’ voter records are a particular challenge. According to Elections Commission data, addresses at UW-Milwaukee dorms alone turned up 647 failed DMV checks. That pattern repeats in city after city with college campuses, where voter registration data is teeming with question marks.
The DMV check, required under the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002, is performed any time a new voter is added or any information field in the statewide voter registration database is changed.
Liberals like to claim routine efforts to clean up the voter rolls, like Wisconsin’s law requiring voters be removed from the rolls if they haven’t voted in four years, are covert efforts to disenfranchise low-income and minority people.
According to a 2017 Elections Commission report, Wisconsin mailed out 381,495 notices to people who hadn’t voted in four years following the 2016 election as required by state law, resulting in 351,733 registrations being deactivated.
Only 28,169 voters who were mailed the four-year notice asked for their registration be continued, while 153,416 were returned as undeliverable, and 189,702 voters did not respond to the notice.
Claims by liberals that these routine efforts are burdens to some ignore the growing pile of evidence that vigorous scrubbing of the data is critical to protecting the concept of one-person, one-vote.
And catching and prosecuting people who think otherwise.

Although galgos and greyhounds have a reputation as 40mph couch potatoes, we also know they can run - fast! Many years ago before Galgos del Sol was formed, Tina Solera ran a Canicross in Spain with her rescued Galgo Guapo, to publicise the galgos as companion dogs.
Many galgos are now homed in Scotland and here are a couple of websites involved in galgos and greyhound adoption, plus one lady who does Canicross with her 2 greyhounds and a podenco! | 2019-04-23T17:58:37 | https://www.galgonews.com/2019/01/canicross-with-galgos.html |
GERONIMO—–so, Chuck Connors is six-foot four and has blue eyes….It takes a while to forget the casting while you’re watching this standard account of the wily Apache chieftains war with the US Cavalry in the 1880s, and if you get past ‘Lucas McCain’ in a loincloth, you still must deal with Ross Martin as ‘Mangus Colorado’.
Filmed in Mexico, with desert scenery fitting, action sequences that are small but decently done, pacing acceptable at 101 minutes, directed by TV vet Arnold Laven.
Indian (as in ‘India’) beauty Kamala Devi plays the warriors wife (Chuck and Kamala married after filming), Pat Conroy is the mean soldier, Adam West the good one. Smaller roles for Denver Pyle, John Anderson, Lawrence Dobkin and Armando Silvestre. As an accurate document of the way things were, it’s a joke, as a time-filler western matinée, it’s passable.
For heightists among you: Geronimo was five-foot eight. Mangus, on the other hand, was actually quite huge for an Apache, something like six-foot seven (big anywhere). Better bet for the storytelling is Geronimo: An American Legend, from 1993. | 2019-04-18T23:05:18 | https://moviesalamark.com/2015/07/01/geronimo/ |

Andrew York is a GRAMMY Award-winning guitarist and composer, his music and playing appearing on four GRAMMY-winning recordings. His compositions blend the styles of ancient eras with modern musical directions, creating music that is at once vital, multi-leveled, and accessible. York has released CDs on Sony-U.S., Sony-Japan, King Records (Japan), Telarc, GSP, and Delos labels; his work has also been included on Rhino Records “Legends of Guitar”and numerous other compilations. His authenticity has inspired a worldwide following, with an international concert touring schedule that spans more than thirty countries. York received his Master of Music degree from the University of Southern California, and is the only USC graduate in the school’s history to twice receive the Outstanding Alumni of the Year Award—in 1997 as a member of Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and in 2003 as the sole recipient. Andrew is a member of the Triple Nine Society.
David Kechley began composing as a teen after years spent listening to his composer and music professor father Gerald at the piano. At age 19, his Second Composition for Large Orchestra was premiered by the Seattle Symphony, and since then, his works in a variety of genres have received more than 1,000 performances by orchestras, chamber groups, and college music ensembles throughout the United States and abroad. Kechley’s music draws from twentieth-century classics and from vernacular, popular, and ethnic music. Time spent in Kyoto, Japan, profoundly affected his compositions. His pieces are marked by a distinctive style, but his musical narratives are known for sharp contrasts between lyricism, virtuosity, and dramatic gesture. Kechley’s work has been recognized and applauded for nearly 40 years by such organizations as the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the North Carolina Arts Council, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Born in Seattle, Kechley was educated at the University of Washington, Cleveland Institute of Music, and Case Western Reserve University. He also followed his father into music education, teaching at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, then teaching and chairing the Music Department at Williams College in Williamstown, MA, until his recent retirement as professor emeritus. | 2019-04-25T18:49:58 | http://www.ravellorecords.com/epk/wakingsparrows/biographies---waking-the-sparrow---duo-sure%C3%B1o.html |

Both of our camps, Camp Crestridge and Camp Ridgecrest, are American Camp Association accredited camps. While accreditation alone is not sufficient to ensure a strong and safe program, we believe it is vital to show that our camp meets industry standards in pursuit of excellence.
Our Executive Director, Ron Springs, has served within the ACA as the President of the Southeastern Section, as a member of the National Nominating Committee, and by holding a seat on the National Standards Commision. Both our Directors and our Assistant Directors serve as visitors for the accredidation process for other camps in our section. | 2019-04-22T18:13:41 | http://family.ridgecrestcamps.com/information/aca-accredidation |
In his wonderful blog Global Neighbourhoods, Shel Israel has aruged that there is value to a conversation that can't be emasured.
I disagree, of course. Because in 23 years in the business, I've never met a communications program I can't measure.
The value of a good conversation isn't that it leads to greater market share, or a huge sale, but that it enhances relationships, which lowers the costs of doing business. When Robert Putnam did his research on the value of Social Capital, he was in fact making a strong argument to measure relationships. Because what he found was that the greater the level of social capital between people, the healthier and more productive and more efficient people became.
Other research also showed (Download Fussell Tangible Benefits of Social Capital)that the more conversations i.e. the more social capital -- the more efficient organizations become, and oh, by the way, they also see lower legal bills, lower recruitment costs, lower turnover rates and higher customer satisfaction.
The way to measure the value of conversations is to first measure the degree to which people trust you, and the degree to which your stakeholders are satisfied and committed to your relationships. Find out just how valuable people think those relationships are. Then start a conversation and measure how much MORE valuable people think the relationship after you've been talking with them awhile. I'm guessing you'll find that conversations are enormously valuable, not just from a warm and fuzzy standpoint, but from a highly tangible perspective.
And yes, in the interest of transparency KDPaine & Partners does conduct relationship research.
wow, I had never really thought to evaluate the value of a good conversation / communication with clients.
Everything you have said make sense to me. I had always thought something like a conversation would be immeasurable!
Well, it seem to be a difficult to say but once you make your move the world will give its light to show u the right path. so do't worry about the evil but thibk on the possitive side to make it to the future.
great post. and shel's was, too. i think shel's point (one of them, anyway) is that accurate measurement of the impact of conversations is difficult because 1)the impact may in fact be the result of multiple conversations, and 2) the impact may in fact be the result of something besides those conversations (e.g., an ad, a blog post, an op-ed, an overheard conversation between 2 other strangers). i'm curious to know, when you're measuring levels of trust and commitment, how you're controlling for the various impacts of all touchpoints relative to each other? this is fundamentally a question of marketing and communications mix, since we can't possibly know with any certainty what/how to increase/decrease whatever it is we're doing in order to deliver the best results with the most maximized spend. | 2019-04-23T04:31:43 | https://kdpaine.blogs.com/kdpaines_pr_m/2009/07/yes-we-can-measure-conversations.html?cid=6a00d83451658a69e20128761fbab8970c |

This post is overdue. Like about 3 years overdue. So, when Travelodge* got in touch to set me the challenge of writing about what I think are the best kept secrets in and around, Newcastle, I knew this was the time to write about one of my favourite food haunts (especially now that it’s had some major developments), that you all need to get yourselves down to and discover.
There are a plethora of amazing hidden gems in the centre of Newcastle, and I could wax lyrical all day about places like Bunker, True Coffeehouse, Pink Lane Coffee etc, but for something truly great (in both food and setting), get on the Metro, hop on the bus or in the car, get on your bike (or run?), and get yourself down to Tynemouth.
Ok, ok, so I do live in Tynemouth so I’m a little bit biased, but it’s such an exciting place to live and the food scene is thriving. This summer not only saw the arrival of Longsands Fish Kitchen but also a permanent and ideally located home for Riley’s Fish Shack – the seafood streetfood wonder creating delicious dishes using locally sourced fish and seafood. For the past 3 years, the guys have operated from a converted and modified bicycle, made into an al fresco barbecue unit to great acclaim and for good reason.
In the past few years, they’ve also put on a ton of pop-up events from curry suppers at the Tynemouth Sailing Club right through to their annual Lobster Fest at the Toffee Factory. Adam and Lucy Riley, the couple behind the business, are also two of the founders and curators of the Boiler Shop Steamer – Newcastle’s monthly street food and music event.
Last year, they began Crowdfunder campaign to help them create a permanent base for their seafood offering in the heart of Tynemouth, and after smashing their target at the beginning of this year, their shipping container restaurant went into production and opened this summer down in the glorious King Edward’s Bay – I am extremely lucky that this is a stone’s throw away from our house.
So, why should you venture out of the town and down to the coast? Well for one, the restaurant is located in one of the North East coast’s most beautiful bays, meaning you have a view of the sea whilst you chow down; all fish and seafood on the menu is sourced from the North Sea, y’know the big blue guy on the doorstep of the restaurant; it’s open for breakfast! At the moment the guys are only offering pastries and coffee but will soon have kedgeree and gradavalax on the menu (I can’t even describe how awesome I think this is for the colder mornings).
The shipping container has an in-built pizza oven meaning all of their breads are freshly made for each fish-lover who comes down, and the menu which changes daily depending on what’s available, usually always including their infamous Mackerel wrap. All of their food is fresh, tasty and comes with amazing sides – they’ve recently expanded this and were trialling gruyere-topped potatoes last time I was down. Bloody lush.
They’ve just winter-proofed the unit for those colder days and nights, so expect wood-burning stoves for a toasty setting if you head along in the next few months.
This really is one of the most unique settings to eat in the North East so, venture down to the coast. You won’t be disappointed.
Riley’s Fish Shack is open Wednesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 9am-5pm at King Edward’s Bay in Tynemouth. | 2019-04-23T02:47:29 | https://www.alicemillican.com/2015/11/rileys-fish-shack.html |

Discussion in 'Xbox One - Tutorials' started by tunip3, May 8, 2018.
this is a quick guide on how to increase the amount of storage in dev mode sorry it took me a while.
Just one warning this is not magic increasing your storage in dev mode will take away storage from retail mode.
1) go to the the main dev menu.
2)press the menu button on your controller and it will open up a menu go to manage dev storage.
3)Now change your storage to what ever you want and hit confirm.
4)it should ask you to reboot just hit ok.
8BitWonder and Eix like this.
Hi tunip3, I already did this and it still would not allocate more than 2.5gigs for transferring roms to internal drive.
Not sure if it's a bug with my system. Was fine on normal Xbox One but not on One X.
Tried 5 or 6 times even going up to 10 Gigs of storage but it still would say drive is full when half the roms xferred totalling approx 2.5 Gigs.
Also not sure if others experience this but 50% of the time when I switch to retail mode then back to dev mode it says 'unexpected error' so I have to uninstall dev mode app then reinstall it then it works again.
Also roms are already split into folders. Thanks for trying to help.
Nice to see some xbox stuff!
Related question - how does one transfer stuff to the Xbox in dev mode? I accessed the Samba share and dumped some stuff in there, but when browsing the file system from RetriX, I can't see those folders anywhere. I also tried copying them to my Documents folder on the retail side, because I read somewhere one person said they were able to see their regular Documents folder from dev mode, but mine was empty (as expected I imagine) when I switched.
Open the file browser app and transfer from external storage to internal. | 2019-04-23T13:07:47 | https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-increase-the-amount-of-storage-in-dev-mode.503278/ |

Because allergic rhinitis and sinusitis are caused by hypersensitivity our immune system to specific allergens, one method of treatment involves introducing the specific allergen to the body in stepwise dosages until the body can tolerate the allergen without creating an allergic response. This is provided in traditional allergy shots or using allergy drops (sublingual).
If you can simply remove or avoid the allergen, this is the simplest way to treat an allergy. However, because most patients suffer from allergies that cannot be controlled, such as environmental allergens, this can be very challenging in most instances. With food allergies, avoidance is the mainstay of treatment.
This represents the newest and safest FDA approved procedure to treat chronic and recurrent sinusitis. A tiny catheter that carries a small balloon is used to gently open the blocked sinus passages and restore natural sinus flow. This is performed in the office, under endoscopic guidance, with the use of topical liquid anesthesia. No nasal packing is required, and recovery time is as little as 12-24 hours.
Dr. Patel’s surgical skill, innovative techniques, and communication with his patients have been fundamental in creating an environment that fosters a relationship of mutual respect among his patients and colleagues alike.
Balloon Sinuplasty has helped over 500,000 people find lasting relief from sinus pain and pressure. No Cutting or Removal of Bone or Tissue, Quick Recovery, In-office, and Back to Work the Next Day. | 2019-04-24T10:39:00 | https://breathesinus.com/allergy-testing-2/ |

PHOTO OF THE DAY: Governor Okorocha meets with Igbo’s in Bauchi.
Oya oooo!!! It is said that “seeing is believing”. The picture above shows a cross section of Igbo’s in Bauchi who met with Governor Rochas Okorocha today. The Governor was not only in Bauchi, he also visited Plateau and Gombe States.
Below, Governor Okorocha is pictured while being received in Gombe State…..
Let us hope that the reporters who were used to carry the obviously fabricated story on Governor Okorocha not meeting “Ndi igbo’s ” in Kano will sharpen their Biro’s and pencils once more and head back to the Press room . As we can see, there is a lot more reporting to be done.
19 Responses to "PHOTO OF THE DAY: Governor Okorocha meets with Igbo’s in Bauchi."
How does this pedestrian 'redemption effort' u r now making prove that Gov. Okorocha actually met with Ndigbo during that Kano visit? If u feel d report that he didn't meet with our people in Kano was wrong, all u need to do is to provide photo clips or video footages in evidence to prove otherwise, not this contrived n belated effort u r now making but which does not relate to d real issue, i.e. Gov. Okorocha's Kano (Not Bauchi or Plateau) visit! This is not good PR for d Gov at all. If d Gov inadvertently slipped where it mattered, d best way out is an apology to his people, not this contrived attempt to defend d indefensible. Or r u trying to posture with d people who elected d Gov in office? Wait till d next election in 2015 to know how unwise n foolhardy your 'strategy' will turn out.
This PR stunt is belated & simply off the mark. Joi John,I expect you to do better than this as his excellency’s publicist.
that cross section does not look like they are igbos, there are more abokis there than those that look igbos. so this cant be a meeting between okorocha and igbos.
Sorry face saving attempt. Is Bauchi now Kano? Do Igbos now wear turbans? He seems more interested in pandering to the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy than the welfare of Igbo people. Rochas your days are numbered. You are finished.
I am also of the view that the picture above does not reflect a cross section of the Igbos as highlighted by the reporter. Kindly be advised that a matter of this nature should not be politicized.
There are more Alhajis in the front rows that those that are supposed to be Igbos. Were the Alhajis Igbos too?
I am interested in what Owelle told the igbos that he met,—– that they are not the target of boko haram or…… The picture also had more Alhaji's in attendance than igbos or were they putting on babanriga for thier safety while going to meet an Igbo Governors? Hmmmmmm, I can't see the face of those having close handshake with the Governor. Na wa ooooh, Igbo are now looking more like hausas. Maybe what fura de nunu can cause. Hahahaha.
ochi egbuola m ooooo. did you just say Fura de nunu????
I cant phantom how onye Igbo will look more like malam in those picture if not for high dose of fura de nunu.
it’s a face-saving machination. ONLY THE UNWARY CAN BE FOOLED.
1. Joi John is not the Publicist for His Excellency.
2. The photo was made available by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr. Chinedu offor.
Joi, who wrote d cover story, u or SSA, Mr. Chinedu offor?
What did he tell them when they met or was the meeting in camera?
Rochas bring them home.Send free bus.
The governor met with Igbos in Bauchi. I was at the multi purpose auditorium. Igbo leaders in the state spoke. Bauchi is peaceful and there are no indigenes and non indignes in the state. God bless Nigeria.
S.E Governors are CLUELESS, and have done a great DISSERVICE to their wards.
I cannot understand how any SANE IGBO person can go and live and invest in the North, AFTER the 1966 progrom of Igbocide, unless employment took them there.
DEVELOPE YOUR OWN STATE, and STOP investing in the North and West.
ABUJA, LAGOS, and NEVER their own states. | 2019-04-18T19:06:56 | https://imostateblog.com/photo-of-the-day-governor-okorocha-meets-with-igbos-in-bauchi/ |

I spent 34 days in Asia, which means thatI ate roughly 102 meals abroad (plus a variety of snacks and desserts, natch). I've already told you about my Thai Cooking Class and shared some sights from the markets of Southeast Asia, but what did I eat on a daily basis? In short, it was a culinary whirlwind. From coconut pancakes in Bangkok to Pho in Hanoi, it was a constant stream of flavors. My favorite meals were often the simplest--a pile of succulent mangosteens (my new obsession), freshly made young coconut yogurt, or Pad Thai from a stall at the night market. There were surprising flavors and textures--fish mixed with coconut and steamed in a banana leaf, sticky rice topped with egg custard, and lemongrass infused vodka granitas. We also suffered through our fair share of missteps--a glass noodle salad that contained more hard boiled egg yolks than it did glass noodles, too-hot peppers that left my lips burning long after I had finished eating, and, inexplicably, a meal where everything tasted faintly of ham.
To cap off our month of enthusiastic eating, we headed to a yoga and health spa on the island of Koh Samui, the coconut capital of Thailand (they export two million coconuts to Bangkok each month!) where we attended daily Bikram Yoga classes and feasted on tangy gazpacho, spicy papaya salads, and raw vegan banana cashew ice cream. I also drank my fair share of coconut water (understatement of the century). Overall, it was a roving feast through Southeast Asia, and I enjoyed (almost) every bite. Thanks for coming along for the ride! Now it's time to head back to the kitchen! | 2019-04-25T23:40:27 | http://www.sweettarteblog.com/2009/09/asia-recap-part-three-moveable-feast.html |
Have you considered chiropractic for your kids in Edina? At Zen Chiropractic we firmly believe in protecting a child’s body by making sure they have the best possible functioning nervous system. It is well known that children bounce back quickly, but that is related to how they feel; physically and structurally that is not always the case. Unfortunately, children do not always verbalize exactly what they feel when they are sore, uncomfortable, or in pain, but just like with adults, if the underlying cause is left alone for too long it will grow into a bigger problem. Chiropractic care for children can be very beneficial.
At Zen Chiropractic, we make a point to make sure that all the falls, stress, trauma, and physical demands that your children endure do not stop them from being kids. We love treating children of all ages. As a parent you want to protect your child from pain and sickness as much as you can. We get that! Let us help you! Chiropractic care is all about protecting your body from harm. Our exams are extensive so even if your child is too young to communicate, or too shy, we will make sure we know exactly what is going on before proceeding with treatment. Not only that, we will make sure you know what is going on every step of the way.
Call our Edina chiropractic team today for a no-obligation consultation and get your child on their way to a better life. | 2019-04-22T18:38:25 | https://www.zenchiropracticinc.com/chiropractic-care-kids/ |

The state Department of Human Services (DHS) has posted for public comment a draft proposal for a demonstration project that would integrate healthcare services for clients enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid.
Approximately 27,000 individuals in Hawaii are enrolled in the programs concurrently.
Clients enrolled in both programs currently receive Medicaid-covered services through Hawaii’s QUEST Expanded Access (QExA) program. Under the proposed demonstration, those same covered services will be combined with Medicare services, and delivered through the QExA health plans.
The integrated program creates a single, inclusive package of preventive, acute, pharmacy and long-term services that otherwise are covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
The primary goal of the proposed demonstration is to provide a coordinated, accessible and intuitive member-centric healthcare delivery system.
The expected cost savings generated from the integration would be shared between the State and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare and works in partnership with states to administer Medicaid.
To align with the launch of services under the new QExA health plan contracts, the DHS has set a target date of Jan. 1, 2014 to implement the proposed demonstration. Re-procurement for the QExA health plan contracts is expected to begin by the end of calendar year 2012.
The draft proposal for the demonstration will be posted on the DHS website for a 30-day period during which the public can submit comments. Comments received by close of business on Thursday, May 17, 2012 will be reviewed and incorporated as appropriate into the revised document. That document will be submitted to CMS for approval. | 2019-04-21T10:41:36 | http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/6591/DHS-Proposes-Merging-Medicare-Medicaid.aspx |

Attention, aspiring app developers: Dracut-based Asinine Games will host a free Sandbox Jam this weekend at the Merrimack Valley Sandbox, 175 Cabot St., Suite 100, Lowell.
The event runs from 10 a.m. Saturday through 4 p.m. Sunday. Online registration closes at 9 a.m. Saturday, so hurry up and lock in your spot here.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or brand new to app development, the Sandbox Jam is a great way to hone your skills in a fun, friendly competition. Participants will be placed into teams (or can choose to go solo) and given the weekend to build an app together.
Having various levels of talent on each team is a great way to help newer developers learn important skills, according to Asinine Games, Inc. founder and CEO Brian Dutton.
So what does Asinine Games get in return for hosting the free event?
Dutton urged local developers of all skill levels to give the Sandbox Jam a shot.
Asinine Games is a developer that focuses on mobile games and apps, including “Sliders,” “Barn Blitz” and “SlenderCam.” Be sure to check out their booth at PAX East in Boston April 11-13.
“Have you always wanted to make a game but never had a reason? Are you lacking the funds to finally buy the game making software you have always wanted? The Sandbox Jam is a game jam event for everyone, whether you are a game making pro or a total noob, come on down to the Sandbox and get your game on. The goal is to make any kind of game in a weekend, whether the end result is finished, kinda works, or doesn’t really work but you had an amazing time trying. The best way to learn is by doing, and game jams are a great way to get started making games.
Typically game jams start with artists, programmers, and audio people forming teams and working together. You are welcome to do a solo jam, team size will be taken into consideration during judging so if you have the guts, fly solo! We will announce a theme at the start of the jam, please send suggestions to briand@asininegames.com.
You will then work on creating a brand new game from scratch with the goal of getting it up and running by the end of the jam. Up and running could just be one playable level, but try to get far enough along that the judges can easily see your concept and game mechanics. You will have until 4pm Sunday to complete and ship your game, then the presentations and judging will begin.
We will have some creative commons licensed art and audio assets available for you to use if you need to, but the bulk of the game should be a completely original creation.
Did I mention we have prizes?? Really amazing prizes!!! Like a Unity Pro license, Construct 2 Business and personal license, and even something from Izotope for the audio guys! All game engine winners will also recieve a Spriter Pro license from Brash Monkey! Prizes are single software licenses, so take that into consideration when teaming up with others. The single license will go to one person. We are working on art prizes as well, stay tuned!
We will have Unity Pro Suite trial licenses available for atendees to use during the jam so your games can be extra awesome! This includes iOS, Android, Blackberry add ons so you can make your games mobile friendly!
After the winners are announced we will head over to Lowell Beer Works for post jam grog.
I’VE NEVER MADE A GAME, WHERE DO I START??
If you have never made a game before, I would suggest using Construct 2 software from Scirra. There is a free version that will allow you to make a full game, although some features are disabled. It is fairly easy to pick up and does not require traditional programming skills. It is a great way to get started making games, check out the beginners tutorial to get you going.
If you have some 3D experience or programming chops you should try Unity, we will have full Pro Suite trial licenses for attendees to use, there is also a free version if you want to check it out beforehand. Unity Technologies is the creator of Unity, a flexible and high-performance development platform used to make creative and intelligent interactive 3D and 2D experiences. The “author once, deploy everywhere” capability ensures developers can publish to all of the most popular platforms. Unity Technologies boasts a thriving community of over 2 million developers including large publishers, indie studios, students and hobbyists. For more information, visit: http://unity3d.com.
There are numerous tutorials on both of these game engines, so you can do a little prep before hand. I would suggest having everything installed and ready to go before the game jam to save time.
There are many other game engines you can use such as cocos2D, GameMaker, Corona, and many others. Use whatever you like! | 2019-04-25T01:59:46 | http://blogs.sentinelandenterprise.com/gamesandgadgets/2014/03/28/sandbox-jam-a-great-opportunity-for-aspiring-developers/ |
In the U.S., employees and candidates for employment may only be evaluated for employment decisions (e.g. hirings, firings, promotions) based on their ability to perform job-related duties. Congress has prohibited employers from considering immutable factors like race, gender, and age while making employment decisions.
Most Americans know that intentional employment discrimination creates liability for an employer. This accountability is maintained through proceedings known as “disparate treatment” claims in which an employee charges an employer with discrimination and then has to prove that the employer overtly discriminated. In addition to disparate treatment claims, demographic groups, which Congress has deemed “protected,” like racial minorities, females and older workers, are also authorized to file claims against employers for unintentional discrimination.
Claims of unintentional discrimination, known as “disparate impact,” use statistical evidence to demonstrate that a protected trait factored into an employer’s decision-making — either consciously or subconsciously — even without any objective evidence of discriminatory intent. If a protected worker can show that an employer used a specific employment policy or practice within the decision-making process, which resulted in members of a protected class being less successful than unprotected workers (i.e.“adversely impacted”), the employer may be liable for discrimination. | 2019-04-26T01:47:00 | https://www.employmentlawgroup.com/in-the-news/articles/supreme-court-finds-religion-look-hosanna-tabor/ |
The FH+H Government Contracts team, including Partner Milt Johns and Associate Rachel Leahey, successfully prosecuted a bid protest for a client that resulted in the agency taking voluntary corrective action that provided the possibility of additional competition for the work.
The agency agreed to voluntarily terminate a blanket purchase agreement issued on a sole source basis. The termination came little more than one month of its issuance, and after only a fraction of the value of the BPA had been spent on the awardee. The agency also agreed to reconsider its acquisition strategy and issue a revised solicitation.
The protest succeeded due to persuasive argument that in preparing its limited source justification in support of the award, the agency failed to comply with the relevant Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). | 2019-04-18T21:42:57 | https://www.fhhfirm.com/govcon-bid-protest-success |

In the weeks leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the pressure on the UK government to commit to joining the American cause was escalating. And in one Stockwell household the pressure had completely erased the line between the political and the personal – the home of Laura and her husband Nick…Tony Blair’s Chief of Staff.
With the crisis coming to a head, Nick and Laura struggle to protect their relationship as Nick attempts to guide Tony Blair through one of the greatest controversies of our time.
Edward Hall directs Maxine Peake who makes a much anticipated return to the London stage after BBC’s Silk, Confessions of a Diary Secretary, See No Evil: The Moors Murdersand Channel 4’s Shameless. Lloyd Owen makes his Hampstead Theatre debut following his critically acclaimed performance in Blood and Gifts at The National Theatre earlier this year. His other credits include Monarch of the Glen, Wire in the Blood and Taking the Flak.
Loyalty is the debut play from writer and journalist Sarah Helm, opponent of the war and wife of Tony Blair’s then Chief of Staff, Jonathan Powell. Drawing from her own experience, she has written a uniquely informed fictionalised memoir of what it was like to share a husband with the Prime Minister at key moments in the crisis.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. -- Madigan Army Medical Center earned high marks for surgical and post-surgical care in a recent report from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.
The semi-annual NSQIP report, from the American College of Surgeons, highlighted Madigan's consistently high quality in reducing overall surgical complications and surgical site infections along with other indicators of excellent care. Madigan's Department of Surgery began participating in the voluntary program in 2010.
"It is a way for hospitals to get high-quality, validated data that helps them identify strengths and weaknesses and identify where they could be taking better care of patients," said Lt. Col. Peter Kreishman, Madigan's deputy chief of surgery and a NSQIP surgeon champion for both Madigan and for the Army at large. "The reason this is beneficial is because it allows hospitals to have a real measure of how they stack up against other institutions, both locally and nationally, and it helps identify specific areas where improvement can be done."
Madigan earned 23 exemplary ratings for surgical services by being in the top 10 percent of quality for the more than 800 hospitals who participate in NSQIP. In addition to reduced infections for procedures ranging from colorectal surgery to plastic surgery to ears, nose and throat procedures, Madigan also was noted for its low gynecology complication rates, sepsis rates and urinary tract infections.
Neuro and orthopedic surgeries were especially noted for a lack of UTI complications; in fact, 762 procedures over 12 months resulted in exactly zero UTIs. Kreishman called this achievement "remarkable," as catheters are often used with surgeries, leaving patients at greater risk for this type of infection.
The NSQIP even measures how long patients stay in the hospital as an inpatient; Madigan again ranked in the top 10 percent for their endovascular surgeries of abdominally aortic aneurysms.
"These are patients who get fairly complex aneurysms repaired, and they are usually going home before lunchtime the next day, so we're really proud of that one," Kreishman said.
While NSQIP reports come out every six months, Madigan can pull data from the system whenever needed. Every surgical service chief receives this data and sits with a multidisciplinary team to review both strengths and areas to more finely hone quality.
These improvements in care come about because of a continuous combing over of data from medical chart reviews and phone calls with patients by Madigan's NSQIP surgical clinical reviewer Geri Hough.
Although Hough and Kreishman spearhead the hospital's NSQIP efforts, the key behind the quality improvements are the teams of surgical staff.
"That is 100 percent a testament to the dedication and patient-focus of the staff here at Madigan, because participation in NSQIP alone does not improve your outcomes; you have to use the data and the team here at Madigan from the commander on down are so dedicated to working to improve the outcomes for our patients, and that really shows in these reports," Kreishman said. | 2019-04-22T00:08:23 | https://www.army.mil/article/187697/madigan_scores_high_in_surgical_care |
I joined the gym today. This is something I’ve been grappling with for about six months. Living in the Mission and working downtown, it’s been difficult to be as active as I like.
I’m the first to admit that I’ve never been the jock type. I have never been confused with Sporty Spice. I took Dance PE (yes, the one featuring square dancing) in high school. That’s about it. There was a period of about a year where I was biking up mountains and such, but that was in Portola Valley and a whole different story. For the vast majority of my life, I’ve simply been moderately active in my daily life. Fortunately, that seems to work for my genes and my jeans.
There’s the usual walking around to go places, but there’s not much aerobic activity. My commute is: walk one block, ride BART three stops, walk one block. I don’t walk when I get home because I’m not fond of being single in the mission at that hour, especially now that it’s dark. I like to bike, but not where I have to pay that much attention. So, I don’t. Basically, it’s just not as pretty (or safe) to go for a walk in the city. So, I don’t. If it weren’t for Laura, I would hardly go for walks at all! Fortunately, she reminds me that we can go outside at lunch time.
I don’t like the idea of gyms. I don’t like the idea of machines. I don’t like the smells and I generally don’t like the people. I’ve occassionally visited such places known as gyms and didn’t find much appeal. And I really don’t like the idea of paying somewhere for the privilage of helping me break a sweat.
Soon after starting work at Save-the-Redwoods League, I began to see the Status Quo developing. Where, for the first time, there’s not very much activity in my daily grind AND there’s not easy opportunities for other outlets of energy. This also coincided with my growing understanding of what it means to take care of myself. I don’t need to “work out” to look good. But I have noticed that I felt better during the times in my life when I was most active. S l o w l y, I realized that being active and feeling better is a form of self care and that I’m Worth It!
So, I visited several gyms. This one was too far. This one was too full of itself. This was was too gross. Just call me Goldilocks! Finally, I tried the gym across the street. Several of my co-workers are members there and like it. It’s called Equinox. I liked it. The people are nice, even the salesmen. The gym is clean and not smelly. It’s in a beautiful building. There are plenty of varied machines. The classes are conveniently scheduled – for people who have regular 9-5s. It has a steam room! And did I mention it was across the street? During the trial visit, I timed that I could get to the gym and back to the office in an hour.
The only problem was that it’s pretty pricey. Besides the monthly fee, there’s the initiation fee. It’s taken me Several Months to get used to the price tag. Oh! and the committment thing. I have to sign up for one year before it goes month to month.
So, I joined today. The initiation fee was waived. My membership starts on Dec. 26, when I get back from our honeymoon. And in three months, SRL will start kicking in some money towards the monthly fee, which makes it a little easier to swallow.
I’m pleased with my decision. I’m looking forward (!) to going to the gym. Who knows, it might even be fun!

Interesting post, as usual! I have always had mixed feeling about gyms. I have always been reasonably active, but generally it has been a combination of walking/hiking/trail running/cycling/yoga. Being outdoors doesn’t make it seem like exercise to me at all — it’s just fun, whether in the woods or in an urban setting. Like you, I have been lucky enough to not have to worry too much about exercising to stay in shape. But somehow I have also ended up going to the gym, too, pretty much from my first job out of college. Mainly it was to have some outlet during the week when I couldn’t get outside, like you mention (didn’t really feel like running/walking around SF at night). Also, most places I worked had a huge discount at a nearby gym. It was great to get a break from the computer and the office, and it made such a difference in my energy level and mood. The past few years I have worked mostly from home, but I still go to a gym two or three times a week. With a flexible schedule, I can get outside, but I decided that weight training really needs to be something I do for the rest of my life, as the women in my family have all developed osteoporosis as they aged. Finding the right gym, as you discussed, makes all of the difference. I have looked at some pretty terrible places — unpleasant attitudes, terrible smell, bright fluorescent lights and terrible blaring music. Right now I go to Berkeley Ironworks, which is owned my the same company as Mission Cliffs in your hood. I don’t have a climbing membership, but I may eventually. It’s nice and mellow, fun (you can watch the climbers while working out), and the people are nice. I think you made a good decision, and I think you will be more likely to go to the gym because it is right across the street!
How did you get the initiation fee waived? Do you have all access? | 2019-04-20T12:56:19 | http://velma.org/its-not-fitness-its-life/ |

Our classroom helper, Kate did a great job singing us through our calendar activities.
We had another great Math lesson on Sorting and Patterning. We began our lesson on the carpet by reviewing attributes that can be used to sort various items. Students then worked collaboratively to sort tricky jack-o-lanterns into pails. The grade 1s used two pails, while the grade 2s had to divide theirs into four pails! The grade 2s also had an introductory lesson of Venn diagrams and how to use them efficiently when items could fit into both given categories.
As students completed their activities, they worked on their subtraction facts.
After snack and recess, I completed our read aloud novel and students were very excited to learn the true identity of the spooky scarecrow!
The grade 1s then worked on phonics activities while I worked with the grade 2 reading group. We started “A Little Princess” by judging (evaluating) a book by its cover and looking for clues to the plot.
We took turns reading aloud chapter one, stopping often for clarification and comments. Tomorrow we will begin activities based on the events of the chapter.
Following lunch and lunch recess, students had French with Mme Villeneuve.
After last recess, we had a “Ketchup / Catch up” period where students had opportunity to complete/make corrections on outstanding work and receive one-on-one assistance.

These days it is an absolute necessity for website owners to focus on enhancing the GUI of their website to improve the user experience.
The e-commerce arena, which is highly competitive, pushes website designers to look at improving their UX design and understand the importance of doing so. UX design, when done correctly, can make a world of difference to the website you build and the customers it serves.
UX design goes beyond being a digital tool but also involves capturing the true essence (emotions, connectivity on a human level) of how online users will interact with your website. Improving the UX design for how website visitors will use your website to get what they are needing will help reduce bounce rates.
Knowing who your targeted audience is helps ensure your website is designed to meet the needs of this particular demographic of users. UX design involves conducting research and analysis to determine who your target audience is, and from there you can tailor your website design to meet their needs.
Through UX design planning and testing of your website you can determine how accessible your website is to any online user who may visit your site. Drafting a user flow diagram that is put together to illustrate the journey a site visitor would take to move through your website and navigate to where they would want to go would be the first step to take to ensure the accessibility of your website. A secondary measure to take to ensure accessibility of your website is to utilize analytical tools to see how users are accessing your site in real time. | 2019-04-24T14:12:20 | https://www.ecommercewebsitevancouver.ca/blog/3-ways-ux-design-is-important-for-enhancing-gui-on-a-website/ |

Kirk Bell May 29, 2018 Comment Now!
I awaken at the Dorint Hotel on a cool, dewy May morning. The surface of the famed Nürburgring-Nordschleife rests just a few feet outside my window, and it, as well as the plentiful surrounding greenery, is shrouded in a pea soup fog.
Mid-May shouldn’t be this cold. The temperature struggles to hit 50 degrees. In a perfect universe, the sun breaks through the fog so I can test the new top performer in the Aston Martin DB11 range, the 2019 DB11 AMR, on the most revered and challenging racetrack in the world.
Aston Martin didn’t invite journalists here to drive on the ‘Ring. Instead, we’re using the newly inaugurated AMR Performance Center as the base of operations for a drive on local roads. Still cool, but not the drive of my dreams.
The Nurburgring as viewed from a room in the Dorint Hotel.
“I’d take a DB11 to get to the ‘Ring, then I’d jump in a Vantage to go around the ‘Ring,” Paul Barritt, Aston Martin’s GT vehicle line director, told Motor Authority.
This despite the fact that by applying the AMR badge to the V-12 version of the DB11, Aston Martin is signaling it’s the best performer in the DB11 range.
AMR may stand for Aston Martin Racing, but it doesn’t mean the cars move the needle forward like AMG versions of Mercedes or BMW’s M models. Here, it’s applied to the V-12 version of the DB11 because it’s the fastest version. AMR Pro models will come closer to that mark.
The 2019 DB11 AMR remains a grand tourer meant for gobbling up vast stretches of road, not racetracks. Aston Martin refers to it as “continent-crushing” performance.
I settle into the new alpha Aston and I’m immediately treated to a sportier experience. I grip a new squared off leather sport steering wheel, and my backside is held more firmly in place thanks to the addition of alcantara patches on the bolsters and seatbacks.
That will all help on the consolation prize that is the local roads in and around the small town of Nürburg. Set among heavily forested, hilly, green terrain, this region is like a mix of upstate New York and the northern, less populated areas of Michigan and Wisconsin…only the roads tend to twist and turn more. I’ll take it.
Aston Martin chose these roads to show off the continuous improvements it has made to the V-12 version of the DB11. That’s impressive because when the company released the car in 2016, it pulled off quite a feat. Aston Martin created a car whose performance and comfort envelopes far exceeded its predecessor.
Now, Aston Martin has unlocked more performance without sacrificing comfort.
The roads here wind in and out of small towns, with stints on city streets, country roads, in the hills, and even onto the autobahn.
It’s those twisty bits in the hills where the DB11 AMR shows off its new capabilities. The DB11 was already nimble, but the DB11 AMR takes a more controlled attitude through corners, especially in the Sport and Sport + modes, both of which firm up the adjustable dampers. Instead of falling into what Aston Martin engineers call “diagonal pitch”—squatting in the right rear and raising up at the left front in a left turn, for instance—the DB11 AMR stays flatter, which helps it carve a truer line.
Most drivers will never notice the changes because the differences occur during hard cornering.
Aided by a near-perfect 51/49 front/rear weight balance, it tracks well and rotates willingly through corners. It’s not entirely a sports car, though, as weight transitions in ess turns aren’t always immediate—an effect of the long wheelbase.
That flatter attitude is a result of what the engineers learned while developing the V-8 model. “We’ve created a better V-12-engined DB11, which is only natural through evolutionary process of what you have around you and what other projects you do,” Barritt noted.
Like on the V-8 model, chief engineer Matt Becker and his team stiffened the rear subframe and control arm bushings to create more lateral stability in the back. They installed firmer adjustable dampers with updated software to create greater differences between the Comfort, Sport, and Sport + modes. To bring the front end and rear end back in sync, Becker’s team adjusted the front with a half-millimeter thicker anti-roll bar.
In addition, engineers modified the mounts for the engine and transmission to prevent lateral movement of the powertrain within the torque tube. This helps the car act as a single, solid unit by limiting the secondary motion of all that mass in turns.
Speaking of mass, Aston switched to forged 20-inch wheels that save 7.7 pounds at each corner.
Finally, with a bit less unsprung weight and a more stable character, Aston retuned the stability control to cut torque less often and take less time to recover torque when it is cut. The upshot? The tail will now come out more willingly without the stability control trying to rein it in right away.
Aston engineers say the goal was a greater sense of connection without harming the supple ride. For the most part, they accomplished that goal, though the ride does feel firmer without being at all harsh.
The V-12 refuses to be overshadowed, though. How could it be? And this version is even better. It lopes along in Comfort mode in these small German towns with a tame demeanor. Go to Sport or Sport +, though, and the beast is unleashed. It gets up and goes from a stop with the tiniest hint of turbo lag and keeps pulling into German-approved triple digits when I get it out onto the autobahn.
The twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V-12 has been strong from the start, but Aston engineers fiddled with the code to extract even more from it. They unlocked another 30 horsepower to bring the total to 630 British ponies at 6,500 rpm, while torque remains the same at 516 pound-feet from 1,500 to 5,000 rpm. They got the extra power by keeping the turbo boost on longer and adding a bit more at higher rpm. That extra boost up in the rev range pushes the top speed from 200 to 208 mph.
If it was going to be meaner it had to sound meaner, too, which is akin to telling the alpha lion he needs to work on his growl. Aston engineers gave one of the best-sounding, most raucous engines on the market voice lessons by opening up the “Pops and Bangs” program in the Bosch ECU controller, then tuning it for the right Aston Martin sound.
The V-12 burbles at idle, sings in a rich baritone when pushed, and lets out pops and barks on overrun. I found myself stabbing the throttle not so much for the acceleration, but for the sound of the British heavy metal soundtrack emanating from newly blackened exhaust tips. They match the car’s more sinister look that now features darkened or black trim inside and out in place of bright elements.
To wring even more performance out of the DB11, Aston engineers tweaked the code for the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission to make Sport + mode sportier by holding gears longer.
The powertrain work cut 0.2 seconds off the 0-60 mph time, taking it down to 3.5 seconds. It manifests as a kick in the pants as the V-12 causes the DB11 to rear up like a whipped bronco and shoot toward the horizon. It’s a flurry of sound and fury signifying badassery. That extra high-rpm torque is especially thrilling on short stretches of unlimited speed on the autobahn where I reach 145 mph before I have to slow down for slower, more workaday traffic. Wankers.
The entrance to The Nurburgring outside the Dorint hotel. It beckons.
The drive ends where it began: at the AMR Performance Center. The route takes us past the Dorint and the entrance to the Nürburgring, and I can’t help but stop to get pictures of the car at the Nürburgring Info Center.
The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 AMR may be the best grand tourer in the company’s lineup, but with its big brakes, sophisticated aerodynamics, and the changes made for 2019, it can almost certainly handle the Nürburgring.
“The DB11 is competent around there (the ‘Ring) but it is the GT of the range and it’s very much about the long journey, the cross-continental cruising. The Vantage is all about sports,” Barritt explained.
Any reason the DB11 AMR can’t crush continents and tackle racetracks? We're right here.

My grandparents were on the runway at O'Hare Airport in Chicago heading for Las Vegas when Tower 1 was hit. For 5 hours, I had no idea where or how they were. Thankfully, their plane never made it off the ground.
I knew I had to take action and get out of an abusive marriage. Life is too short. I knew my 18 month old daughter and I deserved a better life.
God bless all those who lost their lives in New York, Washington, D.C., & those who gave their lives to save others in Pensylvania.
I was just discussing 9/11 with Harley (yes my dog) this morning, I cried and he came to console me. I unfortunately didn't change my life for the better that day as Kristi did; I grew up on Long Island (living in Rochester NY now) we were in the city all the time, both of my sisters have worked in the World Trade Towers at some point although not that day. My one sister was directly across the street and my cousin was in the first tower, she was on the 23rd floor and got out OK. My father was a construction worker and worked on those towers for YEARS he was a glazier and put the windows on the outside of the building - he took such pride in his work anyplace we went in the city we would stop to look. Seeing those building go down was devistating - the people the families and yes for me even the building!
I am a different person now and not for the better - I have feeling of forboding that something bad is going to happen, I don't like my family being away from me, and I hate to fly (although I do if necessary).
If it weren't for my depression after 9/11 I wouldn't have Harley though - my husband decided I needed a dog to help me so he gave in and let me get a Flat Coat.
So I lit a memorial candle last night for all those who died, I talked and hugged Harley today he has definately helped me today.
I'm sorry this is off-subject, but I saw a flat coated retriever for the first time in person last weekend, and I've decided they're one of the most gorgeous breeds!
We were in Boston moving my middle son in to his college dorm. I got so angry at him that I had changed my flight to go home a day earlier. When dh found out that what I had done, he said that I couldn't leave him alone to deal with this difficult teenager....I needed to stay with him for a couple of more days. The next morning, when we saw 'my flight' burning in the side of the World Trade Center, we were all completely sickened at what our world had become! We had a close friend who watched the plane come in to the first tower from his office in the second tower and he just managed to escape. His life has completely changed!
God Bless all of those who were affected by the disaster five years ago! And let us hope that it will never happen again!
God bless everyone worldwide that was and is still being affected by the complicated and devastating events pre and post 9/11.
Not to diminish the sadness that our country felt on that day, but unless we remember that 9/11 did not happen in a vacuum, and that events and policies in Israel, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and for heaven's sake, even South America precipitated and resulted from 9/11...we will never get beyond 9/11.
I certainly do not want to take this thread and turn it into a political debate, but I'm just here to represent the other side. | 2019-04-24T10:39:52 | http://www.bigpawsonly.com/index.php?topic=12683.0 |

Process mining provides a new means to improve processes in a variety of application domains. There are two main drivers for this new technology. On the one hand, more and more events are being recorded thus providing detailed information about the history of processes. On the other hand, in most organizations there is a need to improve process performance (e.g., reduce costs and flow time) and compliance (e.g., avoid deviations or risks). This introductory course on process mining teaches students the theoretical foundations of process mining and exposes students to real-life data sets to understand challenges related to process discovery, conformance checking, and model extension.

My interest in computer science was born attending classes in the university. From the beginning I wanted to explore many aspects of this topic, motivated by willing classmates and professors. During several university projects I explored in particular embedded systems enhanced with distributed artificial intelligence techniques. Recently I became curious about the development of web and mobile applications and I decided to start a phd in web application testing. I like the exciting, dynamic and challenging environment offered by research, which lets me find out and learn something new every day. I am open to meeting new people with my same passion and thirst for knowledge; I like teamwork, collaboration and sharing of ideas and time.
I am attending the 1st year of PhD in Psychological Sciences and Education in a joint collaboration between FBK and Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science.

My current project is about the relationships between genes, psychological traits, and behaviors using smartphones and social media sites as assessment tools.
Software systems are composed of multiple components. Components hold special privileges to perform different tasks. Controlled access to system resources is achieved through permission based security model. In order to gain privileges, a malicious component usually has to abuse a privileged component. This phenomenon is commonly known as the confused deputy attack. Confused deputy attack occurs when a privileged component performs an activity that needs special permission on behalf of other component that does not have the required permission. Static analysis is often used to detect existence of this vulnerability. However, reports of static analysis are vulnerability points rather than conditions that cause the vulnerability. Therefore, a developer that wishes to fix this vulnerability has to manually analyze the code in order to understand the conditions that cause the vulnerability. Similar to other permission based systems, the Android system also suffers from the confused deputy attack called permission redelegation. In our work, we investigate different approaches on how to automatically generate test cases that reveal permission redelegation vulnerabilities in Android apps. Test cases help developers easily trace, identify and fix the vulnerabilities. The test cases are also used to verify if the applied fix has resolved the vulnerability or not.
I joint FBK as a PhD student to pursue my interests in electrochemical energy conversion, solar fuel production and storage, and more generally exploitation of solar energy. My academic route maintains a strong link to the world of industry and engineering applications, with the aim of facilitating and encouraging the knowledge transfer between university and enterprises. In the ARES unit, I am currently working on the development of a Redox Flow Battery (RFB) based on the use of organic compounds.
My research is mainly focused on the study of opposition relations at lexical level as a source of contradiction at textual level. Detecting oppositions, both among words and among portions of text, is a fundamental requirement for text analysis. Indeed, textual opposition plays a crucial role in applications such as machine translation, discourse understanding, and information retrieval. In the first year, I have mainly focused the research on the study of opposition relation among verbs. I have studied opposition relation taking in consideration that i) opposition relation is among senses of verbs, and ii) there exist different types of opposition relation with different characteristics. The future steps of my research project aims at studying cases in which an opposition relation between two verbs lead to a contradiction among pairs of sentences. The study of contradiction also requires the analysis of the conditions in which this relation occurs, both at sentence and at text level. In fact, the presence of a lexical opposition alone is not a sufficient condition for contradiction to exist: the opposite items need to be referred to the same entity/event. Consequently, for a complete study on contradiction, also co-reference need to be study from both a theoretical /linguistic and a computational point of view.
Wireless embedded systems are shaping a new era of smart everything everywhere. New devices are entering in our daily lives contributing to novel scenarios where their co-existence opens opportunities for users' quality of life. Still old and novel challenges lies ahead. Wearables for Health and professional sport encounters the trade-off between energy efficiency, form factor at one side and the QoS and the human factors at the other. Moreover, their massive distribution pose challenges on their scalability, co-existence and cooperation. In this research, these challenges will be considered under the energy efficiency umbrella.
The aim of the thesis is a general and scalable distributed machine learning algorithm and its application in multi-agent systems to increase their ability of collective adaptation in dynamic environments.

Forests are an extremely important natural resource that need to be preserved for obvious environmental and economic reasons. An efficient forest management is essential for effective forest preservation. However such management demands an accurate inventory of biophysical parameters, such as the tree/crown height, the crown width, the biomass, which are costly to estimate by conducting on-site visits. In addition, the tree species information is also very essential for improving the accuracy of estimation. With the advancements in the airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing technology, it has become possible to capture three dimensional (3D) information of forests at the individual tree level in a much reliable and economical way. The high density multi-return airborne LiDAR data can provide a huge amount of spatial details about forest components, and hence can be used for accurately extracting the tree crowns and species information, which can facilitate the ultimate objective of accurate biophysical parameter estimation. Accurate modelling of the internal crown structure of the tree is necessary for extracting species information. Also, the information in the LiDAR data can be better exploited for accurate biophysical parameter estimation, by developing novel methodologies which incorporate the ability of Sparse methods in finding the prominent patterns in the data. Thus, the overall objectives of this proposal are to: 1) develop methods for identifying the species of trees belonging to the same tree-genera using high density airborne LiDAR data, 2) develop novel methods for 3D tree crown delineation in high density multi-return airborne LiDAR data, and 3) develop fully automatic biophysical parameter estimation techniques, by giving special emphasis on exploiting the capabilities of Sparse methods.
Various health risks are related to unhealthy lifestyles and poor dietary habits. A number of pathologies due to these health risk behaviors represent a serious challenge, resulting in disabling or life-threatening repercussions. People struggle to adhere to dietary requirements, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. Additionally, decreased motivation results in a probability of negative health implications. This study evaluates existing technologies used to have users adhere to sustained healthy behavior. We investigate persuasive technology and gamification strategies to reinforce users in exercising and healthy food substitution. We intend to develop a model to be used in creating-producing widgets to persuade people change their lifestyle. Subsequently, our model facilitates a sustained diet management plan supported by healthcare experts to intervene in the activity, only when necessary.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Trento. By joining the ICT doctoral school program in 2014, I became a research fellow member of ICT4G research unit inside Fondazione Bruno Kessler FBK, Trento - Italy. At the same time, I was partially funded by CRG - Centro Ricerche GPI. I acquired my Master degree in 2014 from the university of Trento, and with a focus on semantic web and NLP. My Master of science in Computer science was titled "A semantic matching via web". Before all these, I earned my Bachelor (with high honours) in Information Technology in 2012 from Eastern Mediterranean University EMU - Cyprus. I earned a scholarship grand offered by the Cypriot government. My research aims to identify the correlation between diet and chronic diseases, and applying multidisciplinary research to promote healthy diet and lifestyle. I am researching motivational techniques, such as gamification and persuasive technologies to engage users in self-monitoring their condition. Additionally, I am also conducting research on AI and applying conversational UIs as a tool in preventive healthcare and quantified-self. My PhD research is specifically focused on diet management, quantified-self and prevention from chronic disease.

WHO? I am PhD student of University of Bologna, Department of Electronics and Information(DEI). My academic supervisor is Prof. Roberto Verdone. However, I have been doing my whole PhD program at FBK/CREATE-NET research center in Povo, Trento Under supervision of Dr. Leonardo goratti.WHAT? The title of my PhD is “Centralized versus distributed Self-Organizing features in 5G small cell networks”. Currently, I have been working on one of the next generations of cellular networks, LTE-LAA, and its co-existence possibilities with WIFI.WHY? The deployment of modern mobile systems has faced severe challenges due to the dramatically increase of users. The situation could be even worse by development of different wireless technologies in the same frequency band. Moreover, the usage of smaller cells (e.g. Micro, femto and wireless LAN), coexistence among heterogeneous networks (such as LTE and Wi-Fi deployed in the same frequency band) has been a big field of research in the academy and industry.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have shown to be very effective for addressing many computer vision tasks being the current state-of-the-art in object and scene recognition and semantic segmentation. In addition, their layers are able to create abstract images representation very effective as features, beating standard handcrafted approaches. However, there is still evidence that CNNs are not strong enough to tackle local variations and their training algorithms are not able to generalize enough to correctly address problems such as domain shift. My PhD goal is to exploit the CNNs power, together with the combination of local features, to clearly leverage the information coming from each part of the image, addressing tasks such as Scene Recognition and Understanding. The main idea is that not focusing on a single image representation helps building classifiers with enhanced generalization capabilities and increased power.
I come from Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, a small village between Umbria and Tuscany.

The Silicon Photo-multiplier (SiPM) is replacing the photomultiplier tube in several applications because of its solid-state nature, its better performance and customization level. Different position-sensitive SiPM (PS-SiPM) architectures have been proposed during the past few years. They allow the position of the light impinging on the SiPM active area to be identified using a limited number of readout channels, with an ultimate precision in the order of tens of microns and a sensitivity down to the single photon. The most important applications of PS-SiPMs are currently in the field of medical imaging, in which a scintillator is used for the detection of gamma-ray or X-ray photons. The PS-SiPM is used for the readout of the pixelated or monolithic scintillator with 2-dimensional position sensitivity and very good timing resolution. In this context, FBK has recently developed a new type of PS-SiPM, called Lineraly-Graded SiPM (LG-SiPM), showing beyond stateof-the-art performance during preliminary measurements. The PhD activity will focus on the research and development optimization of this technology, aiming at improving its performance and at extending its potential applications, within the current research programs of TIFPA and FBK.
Public user profiles are valuable source of data for a variety of promotional and marketing activities run by companies and governments. I aim to design a deep learning-based solution that can gather and infer user attributes by efficiently utilising all available user-related information from multiple social media accounts of the same person.
In the remote sensing, modern Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems have capabilities of acquiring data raising spatial resolution to sub-meter level and/or controlling the wave polarization of both transmitted and received waves. These represent a powerful tool for the multi-temporal analysis of changes in natural and urban areas. If we consider urban areas, SAR image potential in the analysis of small changes (i.e., smaller than the building size) is not fully exploited yet. These changes are associated to specific patterns of amplitude backscattering variation, if we consider same polarization for the incident and the scattered wave; or other parameter, if we consider data with multiple polarization. Thus, my research activity aims at developing backscattering models for changes affecting parts of the buildings (i.e., the roof or one of the façades) It also aims at designing novel advanced methodologies for the detection of changes in multi-temporal SAR images, which exploits the information from the higher level of detail and the different combinations of wave polarization.
Duty cycling Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been extensively applied in wireless sensor networks to reduce energy consumption by periodically putting the main radio into sleep mode. However, these protocols suffer from overhearing and idle listening causing considerable energy waste. This energy wastage can be greatly reduced by using a secondary ultra-low power wake-up radio to completely switch off the main radio and only wake it up when there is communication. To date, most effort has been devoted to the hardware level, but no consideration has been dedicated to the design of communication protocols based on wake-up radios. To exploit the full potential of wake-up radios, cross-layer integration at the higher level is required. My research work focuses on the design of novel wake-up radio MAC and Routing protocols with evaluation using test-beds and real-life deployments.
Currently, I am working with some of the great minds in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks in Dynamic Distributed Decentralized Systems (D3S) group, a cross-institutional research group of University of Trento and Bruno Kessler Foundation. My research involves design and optimization of novel cross-layer MAC and Routing protocols for Ultra Low-Power Wake-up Radios to enable Low Energy Internet of Things (LE-IoT).
I received my M.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India in 2014 where I researched on medical image processing. Following that, I worked as a computational nano mask technology engineer at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, Taiwan (2015-2016). Currently I am a PhD student at Remote Sensing for Digital Earth (RSDE) group of FBK working under supervision of Francesca Bovolo and Lorenzo Bruzzone (University of Trento). I am researching on detection of changes from high resolution optical satellite images. Recently deep learning methods have exhibited state-of-the-art performance in many computer vision tasks. Taking that cue, I am investigating whether deep learning techniques can be exploited for remote sensing change detection.
Production plants are relevant examples of Cyber-Physical Systems where a complex engineered system is built from the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical processes. Production plants present different challenges and needs. However, they share the need for technology that lowers the costs of design and verification, and optimizes the efficiency of production processes. This scenario provides the opportunity to satisfy such need through the development of a new generation of Planning Systems. The present research proposal aims to foster the joined application of Formal Verification (FV) and Temporal Planning in the Plant Automation domain leveraging the model-based approach.
As the number of security-critical, online applications grows, the protection of the digital identities of the users is becoming a growing concern. Strong authentication protocols provide additional security by requiring the user to provide at least two independent proofs of identity for the authentication to succeed. With this work, we want to provide some tools for the analysis and the testing of a specific kind of security protocols: the Strong Authentication Protocols involving mobile devices. These security protocols are widely used for restricting access to critical resources, while their analysis and testing procedure is not fully developed. The aim of this research work is to help security expert to validate and improve the Strong Authentication Protocols design by providing testing tools and guidelines, in order to reach a higher security level for sensitive data access.
Multimedia content analysis more and more relies on advanced machine learning to capture the enormous richness of multi-modal sources (commented videos, images with captions, etc.). At the other side, domain specific knowledge is often available to leverage the content analysis task, but effectively encoding it into machine learning (down to the development of task-specific feature representations) is still an open research issue. The goal of this PhD is to progress on the computer vision side of the problem, to go beyond a mono-modal approach where supervisions for learning are provided explicitly. Instead, I will investigate how structured (background knowledge) and semi-structured data (e.g. text captions and descriptions) can be used to provide implicit supervision to enrich the task-specific visual learning capabilities.
I am a PhD student at the department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Trento, Italy, in collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Kessler. My research focuses on deep learning techniques for computer vision applications.
Smart camera networks benefit from technological advances in sensing, processing and networking capabilities while offering novel opportunities in distributed computer vision research. Especially when people moving in a structured environment are to be monitored using wearable cameras and/or robotic platforms, the synergic collaboration among such devices exposes challenges to be further explored. This research will investigate opportunities of cooperative sensing and processing for real-time mapping, localisation and tracking in such contexts. The problem will be tackled with in a probabilistic framework with resource allocation capabilities to opportunistically manage the scalability-robustness trade-off. Performance assessment will itself require the definition of novel evaluation criteria.
When engineering secure software systems and services, software testing is one of the prominent practices to detect faults as well as security vulnerabilities. Security testing (also called penetration testing) is a branch of software testing devoted to stress programs with respect to their security features, with the aim of identifying vulnerabilities. The aspects of security testing that will be investigated during the internship include: (1) generating input values (referred to as test payloads), intended to exercise vulnerabilities; (2) evaluating whether such payloads manage to expose an actual vulnerability, i.e., the security oracle. Security testing is highly expensive given the complexity of modern systems, typically providing a wide range of services, and the sophistication of attacks and exploitations. To reduce effort and cost, the focus will be on achieving a high level of automation in security testing. | 2019-04-19T08:22:33 | https://phd.fbk.eu/ |

In the last three decades our business have gone trhought lots of changes. And had to face many economic crisis in our country and the world (Tequila and Asian crisis) and major shifts in the industry. The leather market was being deeply transformed and businesses had to adapt to prevail. China and Hong Kong broke in the world leather market with new demands and requirements.
By the year 2000 several customers from Hong Kong, UK, and Canadá failed to pay forcing the company to file a creditors agreement. Production halted, but with the invaluable support of many of our long lasting customers and suppliers the company could keep producing.
Today, the company keeps fulfilling the agreement terms, hired back most of the workers it had before the year 2000 and returned both to local and international markets with the same quality that made Gibaut Hermanos Manuf. de Cueros S.A. (or the "G Brand" for our asian customers) a name in the tanning industry worldwide.
We are now producing more than 1000 hides per day. Providing our customers in Argentina and all over the world with prime quality finished leathers, and developing together and fulfilling their request for new articles.
If you still wonder why this more than centenary tradition keeps leaving a mark in the industry, we can assure that most probably you already had used one of our leathers, eventhough you might not know it. Many different prestigious global brands have used our lethers to manufacture their products, and we are proud of have been chosen by them througout our history. | 2019-04-24T16:18:48 | http://gibaut.com/present.htm |
Complicated internal and external economic conditions increased the pressure on the application of design in production, but even a growing number of measures failed to assert design as being an integral part of production processes. The engineering works of ZŤS Martin, ZVL Považská Bystrica and PPS Detva belonged among the few who cared about a higher level of design in the interest of their export ambitions. The periodical national shows of utility art and industrial creative art managed to hold their importance, even though the joint presentation of industrial designs and free utility art was repeatedly a subject of discussion. Of course, design was also presented at exhibitions. The generation of designers who began to show in the 1980s the implementation of their designs in industrial production included Tadeusz Blonski, Peter Humaj, Ferdinand Chrenka, Ladislav Kubo, Miloslav Suchar, Marek Zitnan and others. The co-operation of Jozef Kamas and Bohus Mudroncik with Tesla Orava and the designs for utility glass by Jozef Kolembus for United Glassworks at Lednické Rovne also deserve to be mentioned, as well as the production of Eva Hricoviniova and Stanislav Stankoci in the area of graphic design.
After discussions in the 1950s, functionalism was as good as the official doctrine in Slovak design, even though the reality of production mainly reflected technological and material restrictions in production processes; therefore ‘engineering’ design was rather a virtue of necessity than a result of the systematic application of functionalism. Due to the critique of functionalism in the 1980s, alternative approaches to utility production started to be applied in Slovakia that could be designated as post-modern. The authentic spawn of postmodernism paradoxically ‘helped’ industry to lag behind. As industry was not very keen on the services of designers, many of them started to fulfil themselves in production reminiscent of art and craft work rather than design in the sense established by modernism. In 1985 an ambitious group of young designers, mainly graduates of architecture at VŠVU who documented the development of impulses from Avant Garde Italian design (Jana Antalova, Jozef Gasparik, Ivan Kepko, Dana Musecova, Imrich Vasko, Dusan Vostenak and Miroslav Zikmund), presented interior design at the Bratislava exhibition ‘From the Studio of the Young’. The production of Karol Weisslechner and Julia Kunovska was similarly orientated. At the end of the 1980s Frantisek Burian achieved (also internationally) the authentic representation of ‘conceptual design’, reflecting the fact that media presentation of designers’ products is more important than their physical existence. | 2019-04-25T15:01:59 | http://profil.kultury.sk/en/the-1980s/ |
You wouldn't expect Luis Perez to be an amateur photographer.
Perez, a higher education learning consultant in Florida, has retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that essentially gives him tunnel vision. He only has about seven degrees of total vision, and his condition could progress to the point where he's completely blind. Even with his limited vision, Perez is already considered legally blind.
Perez makes this happen with a setting called VoiceOver, a setting built into all Apple devices that makes Perez's iPhone almost as functional for him as it is for a sighted person.
Apple first introduced VoiceOver in the Mac operating system OS X Tiger about 10 years ago. Back then, it would have cost a visually impaired user hundreds of dollars to bring similar accessibility settings to a PC. But it's been a standard, free feature in Macs ever since, even if the majority of Mac users never use it or know it exists.
In 2009, VoiceOver came to the iPhone for the first time in the iPhone 3GS and has been included in all Apple products — even the Apple Watch — ever since.
The concept behind VoiceOver is pretty simple: Make it so visually impaired users can do everything on Apple devices that a sighted person can do. That may not sound like a big deal on a traditional desktop or laptop where you can feel your way around with a mouse and keyboard. But iPhones and iPads are controlled almost entirely through a touchscreen, which is nearly impossible to use if you're visually impaired.
In June, The American Foundation for the Blind gave Apple a Helen Keller Achievement Award for its work including VoiceOver in all of its products.
VoiceOver settings on the iPhone.
With VoiceOver enabled on an iPhone and iPad, a digital voice narrates almost every move you make. You can swipe around the home screen to highlight certain apps, and then tap anywhere on the screen when the voice says you've highlighted the app, menu item, etc. you want.
VoiceOver has helped Perez discover his calling as an amateur iPhone photographer. VoiceOver can use facial recognition to let him know who's in the frame and give cues like how many people are in the shot. With stills and landscapes, Perez told Tech Insider he likes taking lots of shots so he can go back to his Mac or iPad later and pick the best photo of the bunch.
It's not just Apple apps and software that work with VoiceOver and all the other accessibility options in iOS devices. When developers get the software from Apple that lets them make iPhone and iPad apps, they also get tools to add similar options to their own apps.
The developers behind the productivity app Workflow did just that. When the app first launched, Workflow didn't have any accessibility options. But after listening to user feedback following the launch, the developers decided to add VoiceOver and Apple's other accessibility settings in a new version that launched a few months later, Ari Weinstein, one of the app's developers, told Tech Insider.
In June, the development team behind Workflow won an Apple Design Award at Apple's annual developers conference because of how it used accessibility options in the app. Workflow requires a lot of dragging and dropping, something that's easy enough for sighted users but can be especially challenging for the visually impaired. Now Weinstein says there's nothing visually impaired Workflow users can't do in the app thanks to VoiceOver.
"For the vast majority of apps, a visually impaired person can do basically anything other users can," Weinstein said, referring to VoiceOver controls. "And if they can't, then there's a way [for developers] to reimagine how to get it done."
There are several other apps that take advantage of the accessibility features, and Apple has many of them highlighted in a new section of the App Store.
That's the same concept behind Perez's iPhone photography. Even though he might not be able to see all his photos as well as others can, he said he does it to prove a point. It's unexpected for someone with his condition to be a photographer, and publishing his photos on Instagram helps raise awareness. It's something he couldn't do until the iPhone came around.
"A lot assume if you have a visual impairment you don't want to take photos," Perez said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. We want to capture memories just like anyone else." | 2019-04-20T01:43:54 | https://www.businessinsider.com/how-voiceover-works-on-iphone-and-ios-2015-7 |
There comes a point in everyone’s life when the rush of urban life starts to wear you down and all those miles over the years start to take a toll on both your body and mind. Designed as a second home for an elderly couple that lives in Seoul, The Layers offers a secluded and comfortable retreat that blends a rustic exterior with polished, modern interior. An OBBA creation, this fabulous home is set at the foot of a mountain range and overlooks a large water reservoir that is just a stone’s throw away. With a fruit and vegetable garden on one side and a curated landscape on the other, this is a home that is all about reconnecting with nature!
The entire house is divided into four different layered units with each layer having a thickness and finishing texture of its own. Since the home was crafted to meet the needs of an elderly couple, all the units are at the same level and transition between one section to the next is seamless. At one end of the house lies the bedroom with the other end containing the social zone. It is the kitchen and dining unit along with a relaxing living area that occupy the two central units.
This single-story building is structured as four masses, extending in the north-south direction and horizontally layered in the east-west direction. Although it is viewed as a blocked façade from the road, by entering the building, one encounters a wide interior view via a long corridor that penetrates through the four layered spaces stretching out to the east-west direction.

Your home should be a comfortable and safe environment for both you and your family. That means that whether you are renting a house, or you own one, you must always strive to carry out the necessary repairs to ensure safety in the house. Sometimes hiring a contractor to do small home repairs can be costly and could also take up a lot of time when you are placed on a waiting list. In order to save on time and cut on costs incurred during repairs, you could do the small home repairs yourself. Even without professional training, these are some of the small home repairs that every man can carry out in the home.
Some people dump a lot of food pieces and dirt in the sink causing the drain to clog. A blocked sink drain can be very frustrating especially when washing utensils. Using a plunger, you can plunge the sink drain so that you pull out the particles blocking it. You can also pour very hot water into the drain to melt any solidified fat that might have been causing blockage. A hand auger is also ideal for unclogging a sink drain and because of its length, it can be very effective.
This doesn’t require much, only some spackling compound and maybe paint to improve the appearance after it dries up. It could actually just take you a few minutes to do this repair. First ensure that you clear the area of any debris before applying the spackling paste.
A house usually has several doors and occasionally they require repair and maintenance. When a door is squeaky, it could be made to operate smoothly by applying grease on the hinges to make it rotate with ease. The same can be applied to a squeaky window that is difficult to open and shut. According to experts from Brezon, loose door hinge as a result of missing screws can make the door unstable. That can be repaired by buying new screws and using a screw driver to fix them on. It is a very easy repair to carry out and one does not need any special skills to be able to do it.
The pane of glass on a window is usually held in position with putty. Simply remove the broken pane and get the measurements of the area where the new one is to be fixed. The hardware store will use those measurements to cut you another piece which you can fix yourself using putty.
This is pretty easy to repair. In most instances, if the toilet doesn’t flush when you press the lever, just open the tank and reattach the chain. If the handle is corroded or any of the pieces that connect it to the flapper broken, then replacement of the parts can be done cheaply. Fixing these parts is also very much easy and can be done with minimal technical knowledge. | 2019-04-26T05:38:35 | http://hightoken.com/small-home-repairs-everyone-can-do/ |
Many terms used in this Standard are defined in previous IRE Standardsfl], including: Bobbin Core. A tape-wound core in which the ferromagnetic tape has been wrapped on a form or bobbin which supplies mechanical support to the tape.B. Methods of Measurement The electrical characteristics of bobbin cores are ordinarily measured by applying one or more tests chosen from one of two categories of test methods, These categories are presented below as the open-circuit test and the integrated-output test. Each of these methods is a valid and useful test, but the methods are basically different and should not be expected to give the same test results. In each method, the number of turns, amperes and seconds are to be specified for particular cases. | 2019-04-23T01:00:50 | https://standards.ieee.org/standard/IRE8_S1-1962.html |

Try these breathwork exercises, courtesy of Happy Not Perfect founder Poppy Jamie.
When your future mother-in-law surprises you with a list of last-minute guest list additions, your officiant drops out, and your wedding dress needs yet another fitting, it's understandable if the pre-wedding stress has you feeling short of breath. We've all been there. It's honestly hard to remember to breathe in, breathe out with a million wedding details racing through your head—but it's oh-so important if you don't want to feel overwhelmed as your big day approaches. Thankfully, there are some helpful breathing exercises brides can try when the pre-wedding stress hits. And breathing expert Poppy Jamie is here to break them down!
This discovery was literally a breath of fresh air for Jamie, who then wanted to share it with the world. She became a breathing instructor to help other people on their journey to taking their first proper breaths. “It’s so freeing,” she says. "It’s just using our bodies right."
So what is proper breathing? Brides sat in on a workshop with Jamie, along with Breathe Right, to find out. When we breathe, the short breaths we typically take through our chest aren’t really cutting it. Jamie recommends a "belly breath," which means inhaling through your nose and filling up your belly for a five-count breath.
"Practice taking full, deep ‘belly’ breaths through your nose," Poppy says. "On the inhale, practice letting your stomach expand. On the exhale, allow your belly to move towards the spine. Remember to relax your shoulders and breathe slowly through your nose for five seconds, then exhale slowly for five seconds. Focus on breathing this way for at least 30 seconds or until you feel calm."
Jamie recommends doing the app’s seven-step Refresh, which the founder describes as a happiness workout, on the morning of your wedding.
1. You identify the emotions you are currently feeling.
3. Journal and digitally burn your negative thoughts away.
4. Write a gratitude diary to help reframe and rewire your mind to start thinking about the positives.
5. Play a quick game to help distract any nervous thoughts.
6. Complete a compassion exercise.
7. Take the attention away from yourself, and make someone else feel good by sending them a positive vibe or words of encouragement directly through the app.
While these steps should be easy enough to follow with the app, brides might find themselves a little preoccupied in the bridal suite before walking down the aisle. If your wedding day schedule doesn’t allow time for this routine, Jamie stands by her advice to just breathe. | 2019-04-20T10:19:40 | https://www.brides.com/story/breathing-exercises-brides-should-try |

WASHINGTON, DC – As drug violence in Mexico spirals out of control, a new blog post published today on the website of the Task Force on Financial Integrity & Economic Development reveals that the Mexican economy is losing over US$50 billion per year in illicit financial outflows. Citing data from GFI’s forthcoming report, Illicit Financial Flows from Developing Countries: 2000-2009, Global Financial Integrity Economist Karly Curcio states that, between 2000 and 2008, total illicit financial outflows from Mexico totaled US$462 billion.
GFI’s forthcoming report, Illicit Financial Flows from Developing Countries: 2000-2009, updates GFI’s ground-breaking 2008 report, Illicit Financial Flows from Developing Countries: 2002-2006, which estimated that the developing world loses roughly US$1 trillion annually in illicit financial outflows.
The new report will provide the latest data on illicit financial flows out of each of the 160 developing countries analyzed for each year from 2000 through 2008. Projected 2009 totals will be included on a regional—as opposed to country-by-country—basis.
The report is scheduled to be released on January 18, 2011.

A component, packaged into a shared library (.so / .dylib / .dll) and exported via the EXPORT_PLUGIN macro, can be dynamically loaded into a host application using the Plugin class. Each Plugin object represents one Component class.
A Plugin should be constructed with the absolute path of the plugin (shared library) to be loaded. Once instantiated you should check that the plugin was successfully loaded by calling IsLoaded(). Thereafter, the contained component type can be instantiated (mutiple times) via the Create() method. | 2019-04-20T10:53:03 | http://flowbasedprogramming.com/docs/html/class_d_s_patch_1_1_plugin.html |

ks, thanks for posting this. I hope others will chime in with suggestions and ideas. I am particularly interested as I try to understand the mysteries of the female psyche in watching my own two young girls develop.
One idea would be to take up 3 Nephi 18:21 in depth. Why does Christ command to pray together as families? (Pres. Hinckley said some things on this passage back in 1997, just barely under your 15 year suggestion—see reference at the Marriage and Family Lesson 16 here.) What is the nature of prayer generally? How should we think about personal prayer and its relation to our family, ward family, community, etc.?
I think prayer is an endlessly fascinating topic, a fortiori as it relates to family relations.
ks: I’m very happy to have you posting here!
Scriptures: Rebekah and Isaac. I wouldn’t use these words, but the basic point is that Rebekah was driving the spiritual choices in that marriage. Isaac comes across as rather too passive.
Tamar and Judah would also be fun—another example of a woman forcing a man to do the right thing. It’d be fun, but maybe some people would be “offended” by the subject matter.
I got a nice laugh also out of the idea of “increasing” one’s chance of staying married.
I think I’d spin the homemaking emphasis into more of an emphasis on how service and compassion are a good foundation to an eternal marriage. When you love someone, you serve and strengthen them. Having skills to serve with are helpful in a companionship.
I’d want to use caution when “spinning” the homemaking material. I’ve seen it happen too many times: someone comes across as denigrating homemaking, as though homemaking efforts aren’t that important, or valuable, or respectable. So while I think it’s important to encourage girls to look at “modern” options for helping their marriage, it needs to be done in a way that doesn’t disparage “traditional” roles.
Wow, I thought I had it bad with Young Men’s lessons.
I recently saw the new Joseph Smith movie for the first time (I know, it’s been out for several years). I was impressed with the portrayal of Emma. There are a few Emma scriptures, and then her life story, with all it’s interesting twists and turns.
I would also throw in that the standard marriage story is about Adam and Eve. Any time spent there is also some covert temple prep time.
I really like that idea about Adam and Eve – good place to go, and it also gets them more ready for the temple. Great idea.
I get to teach this lesson in two weeks and have really been thinking a lot about it. My first reaction to it was nausea! So, as a single mom and teaching girls who may/may not have the ideal mormon home life… what can I teach them? I have complied several talks by Pres. Uchtdorf and several others. Women are creators, your happily ever after is now! Whatever the circumstances you are living in our Heavenly father gave us the ability to create! We create homes which can be a safe haven, a fortress against satan.
Thanks Sharla. I absolutely love that talk by Pres. Uchtdorf. I also like his image of “the golden ticket.” By the way, I also post lesson notes at Beginnings New, a blog focused entirely on the YW program. Please feel free to comment there as well! There was some discussion similar to your comment on the Lesson 5, Manual 1 post that might be helpful too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is a certainly a calling where we really need to pool our ideas and experiences so we can be very thoughtful and careful as we teach.
Thanks for commenting, and again feel free to share your thoughts at Beginnings New as well! | 2019-04-19T12:13:37 | https://feastuponthewordblog.org/2011/01/23/a-young-womens-lesson-a-guest-post-from-ks-at-beginnings-new/ |

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad CMC – More than a thousand Jamaican nationals were denied entry into Trinidad and Tobago during the period 2010 to 2013, but Port of Spain maintains that immigration authorities have the right to refuse entry to any person who is unable to satisfy the criteria for entering the oil-rich twin island Republic.
Both Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries say they are aware of media reports that 13 Jamaicans were denied entry into Port of Spain on Tuesday night and deported to their homeland the following day after being detained.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs here said it “has been advised by the Chief Immigration Officer and has contacted Her Excellency Sharon Saunders, High Commissioner for Jamaica who has been provided with information regarding the matter”.
Jamaica has since said it is “concerned at this development and continues to interface with the relevant authorities in Trinidad and Tobago on the matter” particularly in light of the Shanique Myrie ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice”.
The CCJ, earlier this year, ruled that Barbados had breached the right of Myrie when she sought entry into the country in 2011, but stopped short of awarding the one million Barbados dollars in compensation she had sought.
Jamaica said it was urging nationals who believe their rights under the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) regime have been breached, to make a report to the nearest Jamaican High Commission or the Ministry.
In a statement, the Ministry of National Security here said that the perception being propagated was that immigration officers acted in an arbitrary and inappropriate manner. It said immigration officers were staff of the National Security Ministry as the first point of contact at the country’s borders, and “must act with integrity, fairness and within the ambit of the Immigration Act.
The Ministry of National Security said that during the period 2010 to 2013, an estimated 54,362 Jamaican nationals had been admitted to this country with 1,962 Jamaicans being denied entry for various reasons.
It said that this meant 96 percent of Jamaicans seeking entry into Trinidad and Tobago over that four-year period were given admittance.
As a member state of CARICOM, we as a country agreed that while there should be no unreasonable restrictions on the movement of CARICOM nationals within our region, we must be concerned with the protection of public morals and the maintenance of public order and safety,” the Ministry of National Security said.
“It must be established that the passenger either has sufficiency of funds, has a private person with whom they will stay or proof that they have an established place of residence for their period of stay,” it said, adding that the government was committed to honouring the treaty establishing the Caribbean Community and Common Market signed at Chaguaramas on July 4, 1973.
Port of Spain said it was also committed to the Declaration of Grand Anse and other decisions of the regional leaders in particular the commitment to deepening regional economic integration through the establishment of the CSME.
“In this regard, the Trinidad and Tobago Government upholds the view that nationals of the CARICOM region should be afforded the freedom to commute between countries throughout the region whenever it is believed to be appropriate,” the statement added. | 2019-04-19T13:18:50 | http://pridenews.ca/2013/11/26/trinidad-denies-more-than-1000-jamaicans-entry-over-a-four-year-period/ |
