It’s nice to see people become more concerned about their health, and plant their own fruits, veggies, herbs, etc.
But, we always need some extra space in our garden, and some of us are “lucky” enough to live in a small apartment. So, what can we do to change this?
We suggest that you try our awesome idea, and use every bit of your porch and garden. All you have to do is grow your plants vertically! Yes, you got that one right.
We’ll teach you how to make your drip-irrigating garden towers using soda bottles. In this way you’ll be able to grow your herbs, small veggies, and flowers.
Cut out the base of a soda bottle, but make sure you preserve some of the bottom curve, so the bottles “nest” together well. Get rid of the base.
Pierce two drainage holes on the opposite sides of the bottle, preferably three inches off the cap. Use scissors to do that. Remember, you need tiny holes.
Add in your potting mixture, compost or garden soil, and press lightly. Don’t fill your bottle to the top, leave an inch of free space.
Secure the base of your vertical tower onto a fence or wires.
Do the same with your other bottles. Remove the cap as well.
Fill the bottle with soil, and again, leave an inch of free space.
Nest the bottle onto the base, and secure it.
Repeat this with 1-3 bottles.
Cut a soda bottle in half, preferably a midway to the cap. This will be your watering funnel.
Place it on top of your vertical tower, and “nest” it firmly in the soil.
Cut the bottom of your last bottle, and now you have your watering bottle.
Make a one mm hole in the cap.
Place your watering bottle onto the funnel.
Step 4: It’s planting time!
Draw a square onto each bottle, and cut the top and the sides of your 2-inch square. The uncut bottom side will help you hold the soil in.
Poke a hole, and plant your seeds or seedling. Fill your watering bottle every few days.
Your vertical planting tower is ready!
If your watering bottle doesn’t drip, it may be clogged. You may also need to check the drainage hole in its cap. Add some sand to the watering bottle to slow the dripping. This will provide a gradual and efficient watering. Nice! | 2019-04-22T20:59:20 | https://www.healthyfoodhouse.com/not-throw-soda-bottles-make-vertical-garden/ |
Especially when it comes to baseball, where this year saw the Boston Red Sox win another World Series, the rise of a two-way phenom unlike anything the game has seen in decades, a historic season by a starting pitcher and the newest strategy to take the game by storm. The Boston Red Sox were the undisputed kings of baseball in 2018. After winning a franchise record 108 games during the regular season, the Red Sox were even more convincing in October, going 11-3 against the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers to win the franchise's fourth World Series championship since 2004. | 2019-04-23T15:00:11 | https://www.dailydodgers.com/news/92119-jacob-degrom-bryce-harper-other-unforgettable-mlb-moments/ |

I find myself to be accessory challenged with this house. I seem to have no problem picking and hanging window treatments, however, I have barely anything on my walls!!! I put a lot of time and effort in planning Jillian's nursery, yet the poor girl doesn't even have any cute wall decor. I have at least narrowed down my choices on what to hang over her crib.
The initial is a lot cheaper and with this option, I won't have to put 7 holes in her wall. Something to think about but both options are really cute. Please let me know what you would choose!
I got a wall decal for Jarrett's room & really love it, but they are both so cute! I'm bad at decisions, ha! Either one will look really cute.
Hey, Karen!!! I love the idea of the wall decal of her initial...that's my vote:) Hope you're having a good weekend!
LOVE the letters!!! Those are so cute with the ribbons too!!!!!
I am partial to the wooden letters spelling out her name, but that could be because I have painted and sold numerous sets of them. They are always special because they are hand painted no 2 are ever exactly the same.
I also love the letters; hanging from the ribbon gives a great punch of color too! One idea to avoid all the holes? Maybe hang the letters from a single curtain rod or even a painted tree branch? Then you could just affix the rod/branch to the wall and avoid an individual hole for each letter. Random; but it might work! Good luck!
Love, love the letters...great wall display....enjoyed reading through your blog..
Okay have GG's initials on the wall with ribbon and although they are super cute, they can be hard to keep straight. I mean you don't want them to be totally straight but it was a bit of a challenge to get this just the way I wanted them. I'm so particular that way. I like the ideal of the decal initial. I've seen it in PB and love it. Can't wait to see what you decide. Hope you are having a good weekend. Thought of you today when I bought the cutest Carter's 4th of July set at Target!
I like the letters!! I have letters and I love them!!
I like the letters! Super cute and you can keep them forever.
I really like the letters! They're so cute and they'll add some color to her pretty pink walls!
I like the letters. Use that sticky stuff so you avoid putting the holes in the wall...(command picture strips). Those would be perfect!
I would go with the decal or a framed monogram. The letters are cute but I see them so frequently in nurseries, I like the idea of something not quite so "nursery-ish".
I have letters for NOlen's room so I may be biased. They make me smile every time I see them, I just think they "make" the wall!
I think you should do the decal!
I say go for the decal! They are super easy to put up and no holes! | 2019-04-19T15:15:55 | https://www.thesuburbanstylelife.com/2010/05/nursery-wall-art.html |
The Aquarius Condominium Library has a rich variety of titles. It is organized in two sections: Fiction and Non-Fiction.
Altogether there are more than two thousand titles. In the fiction section the books are displayed in alphabetical order by the Authors’ last name. All genres are under this categorization. Readers looking for a particular genre such as mystery, romance, novels could go to an internet search engine find a recommended author and easily find the book in the alphabetical organized shelves.
On the left side shelves it is the non-fiction section. It has books on personal finance and investment, political science, history and biography, cooking, crafts, self-help, medical, religionexercising and dieting, children books and a small section with Russian and other foreign books.
The library has a section of magazines of general interest such as Business Week, The Week, Car and Driver, Cosmopolitan, People. Magazines on Yoga, National Geographic are not discarded. The magazines 90 days old are periodically removed.
The Aquarius Library is in the South Building a few steps from the Mail Room. It also has a complete equipment for music and video. Remote controls and instructions available at the Security Desk.
The Wi-Fi signal in the Aquarius Library is very good. The password could be obtained at the Security Desk.
The Aquarius Library functions in an entirely honor system. The readers are free to take how many books the need.
We would like to think that patron would give one book and take one book. This way everyone will always find a good variety of titles.
All books and magazines have been acquired by donations of generous Aquarius residents. A donor may ask Aquarius Security or the Valet service to pick up the books destined for donation or take the volumes directly to the Library. There is no staff to maintain the Library. The Library Organization work is done by devoted residents such as M. Carolyn Butera that donates her time and excellent organization skills to keep the Library in its top shape.
Duplicates and books in poor condition are donated to charities such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent.
When was the last time you visited our Aquarius Library? Come on. You will find something interesting and fun. | 2019-04-19T08:39:58 | https://aquariusuno.com/aquarius-condominium-amenities/aquarius-library/ |

As a researcher of urban education and parent of a child entering public preK in NYC this fall, my professional and personal interests converged this past year as I visited schools and poured over school performance data, along with every other parent of a three-year-old in the city. I practically squealed with pleasure when the Department of Education released their newest data tool, the School Performance Dashboard. The Dashboard makes the process of at-a-glance school comparison that much easier, at least for parents conversant in the languages of data and quantitative measurement and interested in data-driven decision-making. It certainly seemed like a better methodology than simply following the hive mind and received wisdom of the playground, birthday party, and preschool pick-up circuit.
The hive mind of a gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood is a funny thing — when it decides that a school has “gotten better,” what it really means is “people like us are sending their kids there.” As the author of the Q at Parkside writes, “A lot of parents I talk to, of the middle class variety, many of them white, are basically uncomfortable about integrating a very poor almost all brown-skinned demographic.” Folks are, by and large, well intentioned, and politically committed to racial and socioeconomic integration in the abstract (and if they aren’t, they won’t say so). But this commitment often fails to translate to matters of their kids’ education.
There are a few ways of discerning if a school has flipped and enrolls a critical mass of children of gentrifying parents, a process that lags behind neighborhood-level demographic transformation. Some particularly incurious people look to surface-level demographics, the quick and dirty method of counting the white faces on the playground, but this points to race more than class, and class is the indicator that matters. It has been well-established since the Coleman Report of 1966, formally known as the Equality of Educational Opportunity study, that the success of low-income students is tied to whether they attend schools with wealthier students. Contrary to the hive mind, attending schools with low-income students does not negatively affect the performance of middle, upper-middle class, and wealthy students.
Next there is the ritualized due diligence of the school tour, conversations with the parent coordinator, the tried-and-true method of asking parents of older kids for the low-down, activities that allow potential parents to collect more granular information about the school “culture” and what kind of classed subject position[s] the schools sees itself as inculcating into students. The various data streams packaged into the School Performance Dashboard inject yet another dimension into the decision-making process.
Accountability as a lever for equity presumes that market-based solutions can work in the best interest of all students, including the less advantaged. When combined with school choice policies, it positions parents and students as consumers in an educational marketplace, autonomous free agents responsible for maximizing their own opportunities. Schools are likewise figured as service providers who must navigate a competitive choice marketplace as they vie for students/customers. But educational marketplaces disproportionately advantage those with the time, confidence, social capital, and institutional knowledge to navigate the system. Too often choice-based systems have the (intended or unintended) consequence of reinforcing school segregation, as has happened in New York City.
After all, accountability in education pivots on a fundamentally problematic theory of change. It imagines information as leading to better outcomes for students across the board, without interrogating the unequal distribution of “choice” and the ways that the provision of information may differentially advantage some individuals and groups over others. One effect of accountability initiatives like the School Performance Dashboard I was given as an NYC parent is to make it easier for parents to self-segregate by race and class and to justify this behavior as rational and politically neutral. | 2019-04-20T05:26:55 | https://medium.com/@cfontaine/does-school-performance-data-reinforce-segregation-5cef420602f3 |
Whether it may be having dinner with friends or spending time with a significant other, good relationships have a strong correlation with your overall happiness.
Living in a neighborhood where you are comfortable with your neighbors makes a huge difference. According to Brooks, countries with high social trust have happier people, more efficient governments & more economic growth.
Brooks states that people are happiest in their 20’s and right after they retire at 65.
This point seems to fall into both categories. People become happier when they receive raises and promotions, but if it has negative effects on other areas of their lives, such as personal relationships they will not.
This may make you happy initially, but it has not shown to have lasting effects.
I really can’t imagine this being pleasant for anyone. Even if you drive a luxury car, traffic can be quite frustrating.
This is one I’d imagine many people with disagree with, but Brook’s point is that these factors would pale in comparison to strong personal relationships.
Many parallels can be drawn between obtaining happiness and creating a brilliant piece of design work. It seems as though we are most happy when we have only what we need and what is most important to us. This same principal applies to design; as a website design firm, we only utilize the most effective techniques and content to create material that speaks to a target audience. And of course, making our clients happy is our number one priority! | 2019-04-24T04:27:08 | http://www.urbangekodesign.com/design-happiness/ |
A 160kms ride from BKC (Kalanagar Bus Stop) to Khopoli Town (Shivaji Statue) and back. The route is scenic and mostly flat.
RSVP for BKC - Khopoli - BKC to add comments!
the spot you suggest is at kharghar and 5.5km towards mumbai. The kalamboli junction is obviously that much towards Panvel. It is the junction of new and old NH4. As I suggested earlier I will wait for you under the Expressway and to the Panvel side of it on NH4.
Sure Satya. The kalamboli little world mall junction.
are you going through panvel? or taking the panvel bypass? If you are going through the city using Sion - Panvel NH 4 route I will meet you at Kalamboli junction below the Express Way. I will be there by 8:30 am.
Sampath you'd be better off meeting at the start point. Else if you think that'd be too early. You could join at Mankhurd.
Sampath - The start time is 7am from BKC so if you leave from goregaon early, you should make it. I can't really predict where we'll reach at what time so hard to commit a midpoint for meeting up.
Hi Satya. Sure you can join the ride but I have no idea from where you can connect with our route. We should be reaching panvel around 9am I guess.
i wish to join you folks on 26th for the ride to khopoli. I live in dombivli. Am I allowed to join on the way to Khopoli? if yes, Where should I join you?and at what time? I will be riding a single gear cycle at about 18km/hr. | 2019-04-26T09:45:26 | http://www.cyclists.in/events/bkc-khopoli-bkc |
During my PhD, I studied the evolutionary history of the True Geese. This bird group contains about 17 species (depending on which authority you follow) and is traditionally divided into two genera: Anser and Branta. At the start of my PhD, I was surprised to find out that the phylogeny (i.e. evolutionary tree) of the geese was still unresolved. The failure to resolve the relationships between these bird species is probably due to high levels of hybridization. My goal was to solve this phylogenetic conundrum and further explore the influence of hybridization during the evolutionary history of the True Geese.
Although the main focus of my research was to quantify the effects of hybridization on an evolutionary timescale, I wanted to know the current state of events. How often do birders see hybrid geese? Which species are interbreeding? Are these hybrids fertile? And why does a goose choose a partner of another species? These questions formed the basis for part one of the goose trilogy. This first story was published in Frontiers in Zoology, entitled ‘Hybridization in Geese: A Review’.
It turns out that the majority of goose species have interbred at some point (in captivity or in the wild). Hybrids are thus common on a species-level, but rare on a per-individual level. The origin of particular goose hybrids is difficult to deduce but several mechanisms, such as interspecific nest parasitism and extra-pair copulations, are possible. The different mechanisms are not mutually exclusive and it is currently not possible to discriminate between these mechanisms without quantitative data.
Most hybrid geese are fertile; only in crosses between distantly related species do female hybrids become sterile. This fertility pattern, which is in line with Haldane’s Rule, may facilitate interspecific gene flow between closely related species. This finding is important for the other stories in the goose trilogy.
Before I could investigate the role of hybridization in goose evolution, I needed a proper phylogenetic framework. The construction of this framework was the focus of my second story, which was published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution under the title ‘A Tree of Geese: A Phylogenomic Perspective on the Evolutionary History of True Geese‘.
For this study, I collected blood samples from all goose species. Sequencing the whole genome of these species provided me with a huge amount of data to resolve the phylogenetic tree of this bird group. I won’t bother you with the technical details (e.g., we opted for an exon-based approach with both concatenation and consensus analyses). Let’s jump straight to the main results!
The split between Anser and Branta was already well-established, but the relationships within these genera were contentious. Using whole genome data, I was able to resolve the phylogenetic relationships between the different goose species.
Within the genus Branta (commonly referred to as the Black Geese) there is a group of White-cheeked Geese – Canada Goose (B. canadensis), Cackling Goose (B. hutchinsii), Barnacle Goose (B. leucopsis) and Hawaiian Goose (B. sandvicensis) – and two basal splits – leading to Brent Goose (B. bernicla) and Red-breasted Goose (B. ruficollis).
In the genus Anser, the most basal split leads to the morphologically divergent Bar-headed Goose (A. indicus). Next, two main groups can be recognised: the White Geese – Snow Goose (A. caerulescens), Ross’ Goose (A. rossii) and Emperor Goose (A. canagicus) – and the Grey Geese – Greylag Goose (A. anser), Swan Goose (A. cygnoides), the White-fronted Geese (A. albifrons and A. erythropus) and the Bean Goose complex (A. fabalis, A. serrirostris and A. brachyrhynchus).
A molecular clock analysis indicated that the majority of speciation events took place at the end of the Pliocene. The approximate date of diversification coincides with the beginning of a period of climatic oscillations between 3.2 and 1.9 million years ago. This period was part of a fast global cooling trend, following the closure of the Panama Seaway and the uplifting of the Tibetan Plateau around four million years ago. This resulted in the formation of permanent Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, the establishment of a circumpolar tundra belt and the emergence of temperate grasslands, which opened up new ecological niches in which new groups of animals and plants were able to spread. The tundra habitat serves as breeding ground for geese, while the temperate grasslands act as wintering grounds where mate choice takes place. Moreover, these tundra and grassland habitats provided ample opportunity for geese to explore new ecological niches and diversify in beak morphology.
More importantly, the comparison of different gene trees revealed that different genes tell different stories. This observation, called gene tree discordance, can be caused by rapid speciation (leading to a phenomenon known as incomplete lineage sorting or ILS) and hybridization. Disentangling the contributions of ILS and hybridization is the focus of the third story.
And so we arrive at the final story in this trilogy where I explored the role of hybridization during the evolutionary history of the True Geese. As mentioned in the introduction, this story was published in BMC Evolutionary Biology, entitled ‘A History of Hybrids? Genomic Patterns of Introgression in the True Geese‘.
I found indications for ancient gene flow during the diversification of the True Geese and I was able to pinpoint several putative hybridization events. Specifically, in the genus Branta, both the ancestor of the White-cheeked Geese (Hawaiian Goose, Canada Goose, Cackling Goose and Barnacle Goose) and the ancestor of the Brent Goose hybridized with Red-breasted Goose.
The reconstruction of historical effective population sizes shows that most species experienced a steady increase during the Pliocene and Pleistocene (in agreement with the conclusions from story 2). These large effective population sizes might have facilitated contact between diverging goose species, resulting in the establishment of hybrid zones and consequent gene flow.
I can definitely conclude that the evolution of goose species follows a complex speciation model high levels of gene flow during species diversification. Unfortunately, I did not have the data to determine whether this gene flow is the outcome of (repeated) secondary contact or divergence-with-gene-flow. This warrants a population genomic approach whereby multiple individuals of one population are sequenced. In fact, this is exactly what I plan to do during my postdoc with Hans Ellegren at Uppsala University.
Apart from the goose trilogy, I explored avian hybridization in general, culminating in two papers (and a third one on the way). These were published in the ornithological journals Ibis and The Auk. | 2019-04-21T01:05:51 | https://jenteottenburghs.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/a-trilogy-of-goose-papers/ |

What the Philippines is really known for: BEACHES!
As mentioned in my Cebu/Bohol post, we ended up flying into Puerto Princesa, but our main goal was Coron. We looked at ferries from PP to Coron as well as flights, but our best option was to go through El Nido.
We wanted to spend as much time as possible in Coron due to the shipwreck dives (I really wanted to do this). We also didn’t hear that great things about El Nido or Puerto Princesa.
But as I mentioned in the other post, due to Boracay being closed, we had a hard time finding accomodations….at least one good one, I’ll get to this soon.
We ended up booking 6 nights in Coron and one night in El Nido. However, there was a night missing in between the one night in El Nido and Coron- we weren’t sure were to go.
The guide book and some blogs say don’t take the vans at the airport to El Nido because they never leave on time and are a bit expensive, but we ended up paying 500 pesos each and left only 10 minutes after the woman said we would be departing. We ended up sitting with a man from Argentina, T. We had 5 hours to El Nido and so we got to talk with him a lot.
We later met up for dinner.
We stayed at Austria’s guesthouse and restaurant. It was pretty dirty and not that comfortable. They were full for the next day so we found a hotel (Balay Paragua) with AC. This was important. However, when we checked in they told us the AC was out due to “maintenance.” We are pretty sure they just turned it off to save electricity costs. It didn’t turn back on till 6 or 7 pm, but we wanted to use it around 2pm (height of the day for heat).
El Nido has a bit of beach, but during the mornings it is packed with boats waiting to take tourists island hopping. We didn’t do this and enjoyed a quiet town during the day drinking some great smoothies and cocktails. El Nido is packed with tourists and it’s more a place to party as there are a lot of bars and such.
The first night, we were walking around with T and ran into someone we met in Taiwan. It was funny to me because he was this hippie loving anarchy (he says) and all through the major city of Taipei didn’t wear shoes. Now we were in a beach town and he had shoes on. I am still puzzled by this.
“No, we want the slow ferry.” I said with a smile. She looked surprised.
These tickets include a meal and we weren’t expecting much, but the slow ferry actually provided us a delicious lunch.
There were 3 girls from the UK and they didn’t eat much of the food and I’m pretty sure it’s because it didn’t fit their “high standards.” The way they were talking about the food and the boat has led me to this conclusion.
But, our adventure didn’t stop while on the boat! One of the propellers decided it didn’t want to work anymore so we had an hour and half anchored by an island fixing it. The crew was actually quite quick much to the attempts to slow them down by this European male. He kept going over to where they were working and getting in their way. Just so he could take pictures and I don’t know what. I’m pretty sure if he just stayed in his seat we could have been sailing a lot sooner.
Anyways, because it’s a long ferry, many people start laying down on the cushions or life jackets. I did and once I woke up and this British guy was leaning over me to stare out the window.
But really? You don’t lean over sleeping women like that. I bring this up because something happened later.
Finally, we met an Austrian woman who we ran into on an island hopping tour we took the next day. She didn’t recognize us at first with our snorkel gear.
This whole time, I was being bombarded by the hostel we booked, The Hub Backpackers and The Flat (same hostel owner and on the same property). They kept messaging me asking if we were coming and telling me that they were the cheapest lodgings in the city center. This led me, particularly, to start having thoughts about what it was going to be like, which didn’t help them at all.
When we arrived- I can honestly say, it is one of the worse hostels I have ever stayed at and it’s been determined that I have stayed in over 50.
I do not recommend this place- only if you have no other options and only for a night or two. We ended up staying 5 out of the 6 nights, more on this later.
It is owned by a Canadian (white) and Filipina couple. First, once again, the age difference was about 30 years. The Canadian was a bit of a talker, which rubbed me the wrong way completely. I did not like him. Dad gave him some chances. Not me. He called his little sailboat a yacht….
Anyways, he gave us this big spiel about you get what you paid for (again with the cheapest thing). Both Dad and I acknowledge this, but I’m not going to give him a glowing review when it’s average/below average.
The Canadian was even using his little 9 month old baby as a guilt trip to make us stay. Due to the situation of not having anywhere else to go we ended up staying.
There is no AC, just one fan in the room and The Flat didn’t have water at all. There are a lot of brown outs in Coron so it was very hot in the room.
Now, we are also pretty sure the Canadian is a bit of an alcoholic. This hostel is more of a drinking hostel. Not party, but just sit outside and drink.
The first night we had a drunk sleepwalker who danced and banged around the room for about 2 hours then had another drunk soul trying to sleep in the wrong bed/room.
The second night the drunk sleepwalker was back, but just to drink and was talking very loudly most of the night.
The third night we had a drunk man that dropped his phone and tried finding it around the bed, but then decided at 2 am to lean over me while I was sleeping. Remember the British guy? This guy actually was from Wales. What’s with men from those English speaking countries and leaning over sleeping/unconscious women?
The fourth night we had a huge group that was talking loudly and finally Dad had to kick them out.
For the 6th night we booked a resort a bit far from town on the way to the airport as we had a flight back to Manila (via layover in Cebu city (again with late bookings and everything being full from the closure of Boracay).
The resort was lovely and what we needed after those nights in the hostel.
Our flights went smooth and we even ran into a couple we met on the boat to Malapascua.
We booked with Sea Dive and did 3 days of 3 dives each. The first day in Coron, we did an island hopping/snorkeling tour and saw the skeleton wreck and other corals. But, I rather scuba dive than snorkel.
We had some cool people diving with us. The last day, it was a Frenchman who wasn’t certified yet and just doing a discovery dive (again as he did it on the first day as well). So, if you aren’t sure you like diving and just want to try it, you can do a discovery dive (2 dives). You get a personal instructor to make sure nothing goes wrong and you can only go to a certain depth due to lack of training. He really liked diving after the first day, but it takes 3 days to be certified so he just did another discovery one. However, because of his lack of training he used his oxygen quickly and we had to surface faster than if it was just us. But, truth be told, that was ok because an extra 10 minutes under water doesn’t really offer THAT much especially when we are just looking at corals and clown fish.
The Barracuda Lake was very interesting as it is a mixture of salt and fresh water and you can see the levels when it transitions- it gets fuzzy for a little bit as well as the temperature changes. That was pretty cool experience and different.
For the first dive we rented a gopro camera (please see post on Cebu for an explanation) and that was pretty awesome to have footage of the wrecks.
Because I am not 100% Advanced certified, they said I wouldn’t be able to explore the wrecks fully. However, our dive master took us on the easy one and it was a pretty immersive wreck exploration. I was more than happy with that- I don’t know what the hard one is, but the easy penetration was what I was hoping for!
For those who don’t know diving terminology: dive instructor is someone qualified to give you your diving certification while a dive master is someone how has done a lot of training/diving that they don’t need an extra hand. Both need to be renewed after a certain period of time like a year versus normal certification is valid for life.

Hi Readinggal - We meet again in the Bond Park thread. I just got through posting in the Lake Pine thread.
I run in Bond Park pretty regularly. I think I'd like to suggest that our leader TRUESOUTHGIRL consider a meet up in Bond Park. I know she (Heather) is thinking about a Farmer's market outing, but maybe meeting somewhere where we could chat and some go for a walk would be a good way to kick-start this team.
I'm new to this group. I'm interested in walks in Bond Park if anyone else is. It would be great to get to know each other and support one another on this journey. Please post if you're interested in walking at Bond Park or any other place (open to suggestions).
I actually walk/run at Bond Park most Saturdays, not necessarily in the morning, but whenever...Did this idea of yours ever get off the ground? Not sure I want to slow down to a walk, but maybe I could wave as I go by? | 2019-04-23T00:34:54 | https://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=-1x12348x11827858 |

The Blue Jays came back against the Yankees to win 4-3 thanks, in part, to home runs by Jose Bautista and Melky Cabrera. Bautista has now homered in five consecutive games and is one game off the Blue Jays’ record, held by Jose Cruz, Jr.
The Syracuse Chiefs squashed the Bisons’ playoff hopes with a 4-3 win on Sunday. Raul Valdes lasted only 3 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits with a walk. Daniel Norris went two no-hit innings, walking one and striking out three in what is his final outing of 2014 in the minor leagues. Shi Davidi has written an article saying that Norris is getting a September call up with the Blue Jays. The Bisons had seven hits including two each from Dalton Pompey and Brett Wallace. Each hit a double and drove in a run while Pompey also stole a base.
Ben White‘s second Double-A start wasn’t as good as his first as he went 4 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits including a home run but he just walked one and struck out seven batters. John Anderson, just activated off the DL pitched a clean inning in relief. All of the batters except for Michael Crouse had a hit with Matt Newman, Andy Burns, Melky Mesa and Derrick Chung hitting doubles. Burns added a walk and a stolen base while Jon Berti stole his 40th of the year, making 2014 the second year in a row that Berti has swiped 40 bags.
Roster Note: The Blue Jays made a trade, acquiring John Mayberry Jr.from the Phillies for current Fisher Cat Gustavo Pierre.
While the Dunedin Blue Jays won their final game before the Florida State League playoffs get under way, Nathan Orf was the story of the game, playing every position on the diamond (including pitcher) and going 0/2 with a walk. That said, Roberto Osuna was strong, striking out three over two scoreless innings and the bullpen got into the action with five pitchers seeing one inning of action and Kramer Champlin allowing two runs (one earned) over two innings, taking over for Osuna. The Blue Jays’ offense exploded for 11 hits including two from Nick Baligod, Marcus Knecht, L.B. Dantzler and Mitch Nay. Dantzler had his third home run of the season and added a double and three RBI while scoring twice. Knecht drove in two with a single and a double.
The exact moment that the Lansing Lugnuts’ playoff hopes were dashed came in the top of the sixth inning when both Joe Munoz and Jamie Westbrook hit two-run home runs off of Chase Wellbrock, increasing the Silver Hawks’ lead to five runs which turned out to be insurmountable for the Lansing side. Despite allowing seven runs to score, starter Jeremy Gabryszwski was only charged with one earned run thanks to three errors on defense. Francisco Gracesqui allowed just one hit and two walks over 1 1/3 innings, striking out three while Wellbrock recovered well to end up pitching four innings. Jason Leblebijian had another multi-hit game, going 2/5 with three runs scored while David Harris was also 2/5. D.J. Davis was 1/4 with a triple and an RBI.
The Vancouver Canadians celebrated yet another playoff appearance thanks to their victory over Spokane. Matthew Smoral allowed two runs, scattering three hits and five walks over his five innings of work but he also struck out five. Andrew Case threw two scoreless for the Canadians and Phil Kish notched his ninth save of the season. Roemon Fields and Alexis Maldonado each had two hits with Fields hitting his fourth triple of the season and drove in a run. | 2019-04-18T23:13:08 | https://bluejaysfromaway.com/august-31-minor-league-report/ |
Manufacturers aren’t the only companies that need master budgeting. Retailers and service providers have to plan ahead, too. Here are some tips on how to adapt the manufacturer’s master budgeting process for other industries.
Remember that a retailer buys and sells goods. Unlike a manufacturer, it doesn’t make goods. Therefore, it just operates stores or warehouses, not factories.
Even without all the burdens of manufacturing, retailers still must prepare budgets. However, their merchandise purchases budget replaces the need for a production budget, direct materials budget, and overhead budget. A retailer uses its merchandise purchases budget to prepare a schedule of cash payments in order to complete its cash budget.
Here, the retailer wants to know inputs — how much merchandise to buy. The outputs equal the budgeted cost of goods sold. Ending means the desired balance of ending inventory, and beginning reflects the existing balance of inventory at the beginning of the period. You can apply this formula in total, for separate quarters or months, or even for individual products.
Pickers, Inc., owns a chain of mall stores that sell clothing. The company’s inventory on December 31, 2012, equaled $250,000. The company budgets predict cost of goods sold in 2013 of $325,000 and desired ending inventory on December 31, 2013, of $210,000. The following figure shows how the company estimates the merchandise purchases needed for next year.
This merchandise purchases budget indicates that Pickers needs to purchase $285,000 worth of merchandise during the period.
Service companies, such as law offices, limousine services, and cellphone companies, sell services rather than products. Like manufacturers and retailers, service companies also need to prepare budgets. However, service companies need to focus on their direct labor budgets because direct labor usually comprises most of these companies’ expenses.
Overstaffing (hiring too many workers) can drag down profits. Understaffing can cause employees to work excessive overtime or even force the company to turn down business.
For a service company, the direct labor budget feeds right into the cash budget and the budgeted income statement. Service companies usually have no need for production or overhead budgets. | 2019-04-21T04:42:26 | https://www.dummies.com/business/accounting/apply-master-budgeting-to-nonmanufacturers/ |
Discussion in 'Hardware' started by keltix, Jul 17, 2006.
I'm trying to convince my dad (computer novice) that in spite of what people have told him, deleting files from the hard drive will not make the computer "faster." I tell him that he needs more memory(RAM) but quotes his friends saying that you need to free up space (memory) to keep the computer from acting slow. The miscommunication stems from the interchangeable meanings of the word "memory." He argues that by deleting movies from the HardDrive, the computer will work faster. So I need your support in proving to him that he should buy some more RAM modules.
OK,More Mem will make a bit of Difference but not as much as U think.Depending on what U do 512MBs is the Min these days....Make sure U have the fastest Mem your MB will support.

The classroom course are held at various locations in and around Hook, Hampshire in the UK.
The exact location will be confirmed at the time of booking.
Our offices are located in Hook, Hampshire. Just off Junction 5 of the M3 Motorway. The venue will be within easy reach from either the M3 or M4 motorways. Hook is also served by the south coast mainline from London Waterloo rail station. There are a minimum of two stopping trains per hour from and to London Waterloo and a faster direct service to the nearby town of Basingstoke.
Hook is nestled in the far NE corner of the Hampshire and Berkshire borders just 35 miles south-west of hustle and bustle of London. The village is bounded on the east side by the picturesque valley of the River Whitewater, and to the south by two areas of common land – Hook Common and Bartley Heath. Bartley Heath is an area of wet heathland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Bartley Heath and Hook Common are easily accessible from the village and are a great place to enjoy wildlife.
Directions will be given at the time of booking.
We are on the main line from London (Waterloo) and trains serve Hook station up to four times an hour. There is a fast service to Basingstoke but you will need to catch a taxi back to Hook (15 minutes). Or you can choose the stopping service to Basingstoke which stops at Hook.
We are equidistant between Southampton and London (Heathrow) airports. If you are coming from outside of the UK the service from Heathrow is quicker, more direct and better served. However if you are travelling from the UK or Ireland we often use Southampton as it serves those regions very well, is quick and inexpensive. You can get semi-direct trains to Hook from straight from the Airport via Basingstoke.
If you are travelling from Heathrow a taxi is the quickest and easiest way to get to us. It is much cheaper to pre-book a taxi to collect you from the airport. Taking a train journey from Heathrow airport is generally not recommended as you will need to change several times to get to us.
If there are availability problems at these locations, Basingstoke or Fleet are nearby towns with ample accommodation options. We are equidistant between these two towns. | 2019-04-21T08:57:08 | https://www.betangelacademy.com/how-to-find-us/ |

The more complicated The voltage, the more effective amplification you’re likely to get. An audio amplifier may be used in a house system or within a professional setting. Picking an excellent amplifier is among the most significant tasks when you’re attempting to use the greater quality, bookshelf type speakers on a desktop PC. Employing a powered loudspeaker is truly a rather interesting idea for musicians-I was really content with it, it is a cool, cool tool.” Setting up these speakers is a very simple job, and it can be accomplished in the situation of a few momemts. Microphones have undergone lots of changes through the years. A very good gaming headset may be a tricky situation to find.
Player appears to be operating flawlessly. For ideal results you have to purchase the right player. Mp3 players are available in various shapes and sizes. Therefore, you are planning to purchase a new MP3 player.
You’ll need to understand which one it is whenever you are attempting to find the audio to come through your television. The audio wasn’t as superior as he expected. Now you’re almost certainly going to need sound from something besides your laptop speakers. If you’re one of people experiencing this faraway sound (tinny speakers) or are hesitant to buy a new TV because of it, there’s an easy and affordable solution to enable you to relish an excellent high quality sound. Therefore all your music is always with you, wherever you’re. Step one is to download music on the Internet.
Just look closely at the label on the jack that you select. The audio jacks allow you to connect not just a microphone input but in addition external speakers. XLR plugs are usually called balanced” and help lessen noise interference, especially over long spans. All you will need is the proper type of cable, and this may be achieved with ultimate ease. As discussed before, usually the RCA cables should do just fine. If you make the connections and begin employing the headphones, you will wish you’d have gotten them sooner. An immediate connection to your radio is the sole thing to do.
In addition, there are many configurations of systems available on the market for professional musicians. Along with the 3 double-DIN outputs, an individual can not just interface other Pioneer options, but could also prepare the AVH-P4300DVD to serve as the control head for a rear entertainment center. These devices may be used to store a full music library. You will also have the ability to control every one of these devices with the exact same remote, rather than having to discover unique codes for each gadget. It is possible to find the device by heading to My PC.” You may also link it to various different devices for the best experience.
The past two items are integrated home theater systems, which is why they’re so costly, when compared with the others. Folks who own home entertainment systems will come across wireless speakers to be a rather beneficial addition to their homes. There’s an exact vast array of wireless PC speaker systems currently on the market. | 2019-04-19T13:16:54 | https://bestbluetoothreceivers.review/bluetooth-to-rca-can-be-fun-for-everyone/ |

It was everywhere, rustling through conversations the way a breeze moves through trees, in the smirks and jokes of some, in the extended, slightly nervous ovation the President and Mrs. Clinton received as they walked into the East Room of the White House on Friday night for a Millennium lecture on jazz. It was the President's Problem, and it colored the event. The musicians onstage spent much of their time, as did the audience, analyzing the way the President and his wife interacted, how they played their public roles, how, in the middle of a Greek tragedy, they were doing.
The concert and lecture, the fourth this year in a series planned by the White House to bring together experts on a particular subject, had the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the pianist Marian McPartland as hosts. The audience of about 100 included the Czech President, Vaclav Havel; Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright; Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, and William J. Ivey, the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, along with some of jazz's more important figures. The saxophonist Wayne Shorter showed up, as did the bassist Ron Carter; the saxophonist and band leader Illinois Jacquet; the head of the Institute of Jazz Studies, Dan Morgenstern, and the social critic Stanley Crouch.
Put together by a coalition of Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Thelonious Monk Institute in Washington, and broadcast on VH-1 and C-Span, the lecture included speeches by the President (who talked about how influential a whole series of musicians had been on his life, including Charlie Parker, Monk and John Coltrane), Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Havel. Mr. Marsalis and Ms. McPartland spoke, as did two jazz educators, Dr. Billy Taylor and David Baker. Ms. McPartland, Mr. Marsalis and Dr. Taylor played music that underscored their points. And a big band, made up mostly of members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, did some roaring.
The show was meant to to put jazz in its national and international context. At the end, questions were taken on the Internet from Britain, Canada and the United States.
There was some suspicion that the event had been put together to show that the President could continue with the life of the country despite the Problem. The event, organizers said, was planned some six weeks ago.
Dr. Taylor, who had given a short lecture and demonstration of be-bop, heard something in what Mr. Havel was saying.
And there were some strong moments musically, too, with the big band performing Duke Ellington's ''Harlem Airshaft,'' swinging it thoroughly. Mr. Marsalis opened the musical portion of the lecture with a duet with Ms. McPartland on ''St. Louis Blues'' that had him tossing burred notes throughout the piece; it all led to his thesis, which bubbled through the entire lecture, that jazz is perfectly emblematic of democracy. The balance, goes the thesis, between the individual desires of the soloist and the necessity of the group is democracy in esthetic action.
Sherman Irby, an alto saxophonist in the big band, was watching the President.
Other musicians felt the same way. After the performance, a small group of musicians in the dark outside the White House waited for a ride back to the hotel.
''He's the hippest President we've ever had,'' said Eric Lewis, the pianist in the orchestra. | 2019-04-24T08:24:32 | https://www.nytimes.com/1998/09/21/arts/critic-s-notebook-jazz-white-house-metaphor-for-democracy-help-boss.html |
Anafi is a so wonderful a secret that, once you have experienced it, you’ll find impossible not to share with others. A tiny speck of land just east of Santorini, this island in the south eastern part of the Cyclades offers its visitors a unique journey through time and space.
As you might imagine, there is not an abundance of ferry routes that pass through this lovely unspoilt place, so far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern civilization. You arrive and depart the port of Saint Nicholas beneath the town in the darkness of very early morning. The island, which the god Apollo conjured out of thin air as a safe haven for the Argonauts during a wild storm, still delights in keeping its mysteries under wraps, preparing its visitors for new surprises at the dawn of every new day.
We arrived at night without a map, but ready to pitch our tents wherever the fancy took us. With us were two other couples on motorbikes, also on the island for the first time. Heading for Roukounas beach by the light of a full moon and caressed by a gentle breeze, every turn took us higher and higher up the mountain, every zig zag in the road was another light from the port disappearing into the night. After a while, we took the only turning which, despite the lack of a signpost, we hoped would lead to a beach where we could set up camp. We reached the sand by following the sound of the sea. We got to the clearing on the coast and on our right we saw a number of tents pitched one next to the other. We were transported in time.
Where else in the world can people still sleep without a care under a canopy of summer stars, watched over only by a huge, reassuringly incandescent moon? Where else are you greeted at three in the morning with such a warm smile to light up the darkness and nothing is asked or expected of you, except to enjoy yourself?
When dawn arrives, it is immersed in crystal clear blue waters, the purity of which you cannot begin to imagine. There’s no music blasting from speakers in bars and canteens to break the tranquility, only the sound of wind and sea. On this beach people of all ages savour the pleasure of the moment, basking in the sun with their friends, taking a refreshing swim, doing exactly what they want to do when they feel like doing it. This is an island that does not oblige you to do or be anything, to think this or that; it simply lifts the cares from your shoulders the moment you step across its threshold.
There is absolutely no affectation here at all, it doesn’t strain to be understood or go out of its way to try to impress you. It is a paragon of simplicity, so pure and bright that you feel that your eyes are opened wider to see the world from an entirely new perspective. Next to Roukounas beach, the Rock stands proudly and looks down at you from a height of 400m, and you wonder what the world looks like from that cross on the edge of the cliff. The second highest monolith in the Mediterranean after Gibraltar stands before your eyes and you are left staring in awe whenever you raise your head after each dive.
In Hora the houses are perched on the rock face. It is here that you understand why the construction of the little houses of Anafiotika, under the Acropolis must have been child’s play for Anafi craftsmen. White houses, elaborately made, miraculously scaling the rocks above the Aegean, gazing out at the blue of the sky and the sea from up high. There are no bystanders, boats, ships, cruise ships, sailboats.

There are not many places in the world that can only be discovered on foot. There are not many places in the world where the best spots are not accessible by car.

During the summer of 2016, the Landscape, Gardens and Health network website hosted the pilot study for the not for profit project Silent Space. For a few hours a week, a variety of gardens reserved an area in which visitors were asked to switch off their phones. They were encouraged to sit or stroll in silence. No matter how busy the rest of the garden, the Silent Space was a place of tranquillity.
The response from visitors, volunteers and garden staff was very positive. As a result, the project continued to expand in 2017. By the end of the year, there were 23 Silent Spaces around the UK.
Tying notebooks to benches in a Silent Space has proved to be the least intrusive method of evaluation. Visitors fill the pages with poems and drawings. Most of all, they express gratitude for the opportunity to spend time in a garden in silence.
Silent Space will continue to expand in 2018.
This is an excellent idea and very timely.
I am surprised not to see more venues in central London as this is where it is needed most. I am sure it will grow .
Thank you for your kind comments, Bridget.
Yes, it would be wonderful to include more venues in London. The response to this summer's Silent Space pilot study continues to be very positive. We'll collect feedback from all the participants at the end of August and use what we learn to help other venues set up their own Silent Space in 2017.
Perhaps you could suggest some potential London sites to get us started?
Wonderful idea! I'm impressed that you have so many places involved. I wish we had similar movement in the US. But you might want to contact the TKF Foundation which sponsors the creation of Sacred Spaces . Though not necessarily silent they encourage the location of benches in quiet, contemplative places, and under each bench is a "log book" where people record their feelings and responses.
Thank you for taking the time to read and to comment, Clare. I'm very happy to share feedback with anyone who would like to start up Silent Space in the US. It could help us all to deepen our connection with Nature.
I will contact TKF/Nature Sacred as you suggest. The participating gardens and I have been wondering about the best way to help visitors to respond. A 'log book' attached to a bench is an excellent idea.
what a brilliant idea. Wish there was something in my neck of the woods (notts/Lincs), everywhere is so noisy these days!
Thank you, Charlotte. Planning to use the wonderful feedback from Silent Space 2016 to encourage more gardens to join in next year. Keep in touch. | 2019-04-19T07:45:17 | https://www.lghn.org.uk/latest-news--updates/silent-space |

Bare Root trees are trees that are dug while dormant and stored without any soil around their roots.
Trees can be bought "bare root," and then planted directly into the ground.
What are the advantages of planting bare root trees?
Bare root trees are able to acclimate to soil quicker once planted.
More root mass. Bare root trees can have up to 200% more roots than B&B or container trees, depending on the soil and transplanting history at the nursery.
Lower cost. Without extra labor and materials, bare root trees cost seller and buyer less.
Easier planting. A young tree without soil weighs little, so it easy to move and plant.
There must be some disadvantages!
Less work time. Once they leave the nursery, bare root trees need to get in the ground within a week at the longest. With no soil, the roots can dry out and die if left exposed for any time.
Narrower planting window. Bare root trees need good soil moisture, so mid spring (before budbreak) and mid fall (after leaf fall) are the only two possible planting times.
Restricted availability. Some species may not be available bare root, and some nurseries may not have trees available for bare root retail sale at all.
What are the best techniques to follow for tree planting?
Use any technique you can to reduce the time the tree roots are bare.
If possible, dip tree roots in a slurry of a hydrogel (a synthetic water-absorbing compound, many brands available) or muddy water, then store them in large, pleated plastic bags until planting.
If no hydrogel is used, soak the tree roots in water for 4hrs before planting.
Keep trees covered, shaded, and moist until actually put in the ground. | 2019-04-21T08:46:09 | https://www.motznursery.com/barerootfacts.htm |

A group of Vietnam’s most exclusive hotels in each of the country’s most compelling stops is working to position the destination as a brighter lure for the world’s most upscale travelers.
The five properties, including the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi and The Nam Hai in Hoi An, form the foundation of a new digital platform — Quintessential Collection Vietnam — that will function as the single most important resource for affluent travelers en route to Vietnam.
The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi opened in Hanoi in 1901.
The other hotels in the collection — The Reverie Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City, La Residence Hotel & Spa in Hue and Paradise Cruises on Halong Bay — each offer a best-in-class experience in their particular destination.
Every month, the general manager from one of the Quintessential hotels will blog on issues that matter to the 1 percent — on getting a tuxedo made in Hanoi, on reading a translation of the great epic Vietnamese poem, The Tale of Kieu, on a night at the opera, and so on.
The site will also feature lists on issues that matter to the 1 percent, such as where to get exactly the right martini, and what goods are exactly the goods to bring home from a trip.
The site will report on what the world’s leading media are saying about Vietnam. And what activities the 1 percent may want to indulge while in country.
The villas of the Nam Hai are contemporary interpretations of traditional Vietnamese garden houses. | 2019-04-18T18:19:59 | https://eatlovesavor.com/vietnam-sharpens-appeal-1/ |

Martin Luther once said that “the work of a milkmaid is just as important to God as the work of a priest.” This week on Home School Heartbeat, our guest Hugh Whelchel talks about why our jobs have value, no matter how humble they may seem.
Did you enjoy this week’s program on the real value of our work? You can learn more about Hugh and his Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics by clicking on the link.
Martin Luther once said that the work of a milkmaid is just as important to God as the work of a priest. Today on Home School Heartbeat, our guest Hugh Whelchel helps us find the real value of our own jobs.
Mike Smith: I’m joined today by Hugh Whelchel, the executive director of the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics. Hugh, welcome to the program today!
Hugh Whelchel: Thank you, it’s great to be here.
Mike: Hugh, you believe that all of our work—whether in the family, in the church, or in our day jobs—is significant to God. Can you tell us more about that?
Hugh: Yeah, that’s right. I think one of the big problems in the evangelical church today is we’ve separated work into two groups. We have secular work and spiritual work. So what we think is that the spiritual work is much more important. For example, the work of a pastor or a missionary, we say that’s really important to God, whereas the work of a lawyer, or somebody who works in a factory, is not. And that’s not what the Bible teaches.
We need to break down that barrier and understand that all work is important to God. Martin Luther, one of the great reformers, talked about this a lot. He said, “The work of the milkmaid is just as important to God as the work of the priest.” And that’s something we need to embrace. How many times have we heard someone say, “Did you hear about John Smith, he quit his job at the bank to go into full-time Christian service?” We’ve got to understand that all work, whatever God’s called us to do, is full-time Christian service. And our work should do three things: it should glorify God, serve the common good, and further God’s kingdom in the here and now.
Mike: Hugh, sometimes we get a job that isn’t very satisfying. Maybe it seems like menial work. Or maybe we have a boss that we just can’t get along with. How should we face these kinds of jobs?
Now the fact that work is hard, the fact that work is difficult, is part of the curse. So we can assume going in, because we live in a fallen world, our work is never going to be easy. But as Christians, God wants to redeem work, and I think as we work He gives us a glimpse once in a while of what good work is really supposed to be and what it’s supposed to look like. And we find fulfillment and satisfaction when we work according to God’s rules and to His design and His desire.
Now here’s the interesting thing. Paul tells us that our work is not in vain. In fact, he goes on and tells the Colossians, in chapter 3 of the book of Colossians, he says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working unto the Lord, not for human masters.” That’s the bigger picture we need to see. And when we understand that, the mundane things, even the things we don’t like to do, that what my work does serves God in this bigger sense, it helps with those things are sometimes difficult to do.
Mike: Hugh, you’ve talked about why our jobs matter. How does that apply to someone who’s actually lost their job?
Hugh: Let me say first of all if there are people out there in the audience that are looking for, that are unemployed, I sympathize with you. I’ve been in that situation many, many times in my career, and it’s difficult. But one of the reasons we actually make it more difficult than it should be is because in our culture, we put such an emphasis on our identity coming from our jobs. Actually, what’s the first thing you ask somebody when you first meet him? If it’s not the first thing it’s usually the second thing, and it’s “What do you do?” In our culture, we find our identity in our work.
Now, as Christians, we should find our identity in Christ, not our work. So when you’re out of work, when you’re looking for another job (and my wife would always tell me when I was out of work, “Your number one job is to find a new job”), but during that period of time, we can focus sometimes a lot more on some of the other things God’s called us to do, some of the other work God’s called us to: our work in our church, our work in our community, our work with our family. He gives us a chance to focus on those while we continue to find out what it is God wants us to do next.
So I think it’s very important to once again shift that understanding that our identity doesn’t come from our job. And this is really true for those of you that are working, realizing that this is not a problem. What you have to do—you have to realize that, to have a meaningful life you’ve got to work, and you have to understand the importance of work. But you must not make your work the meaning of your life. Christ is the meaning of our lives.
Mike: Hugh, what would you say to our homeschool graduates who are starting to search for a job? What should they keep in mind as they go through this process?
Hugh: Yeah, I talk to a lot of young people that are in the exact same place, and I think there are some misunderstandings on what they should be looking for. So let me give you some suggestions that I give to young people all the time.
First, understand that you’re not going to find your dream job right off of college. In fact, your first three or four jobs are really to teach you A) what work is all about and B) to teach you who you are and help you really find what your gifts and your strengths are. I have a friend that went to law school many years ago, and he said he was surprised when he came out that law school did not teach him to be a lawyer. They just taught him about the law. He had to go work as a lawyer for five years to really learn how to be a lawyer.
So you need to understand that, given that, the first thing you should look for is a job that will give you lots of experience. And realize that it’s not going to be something that you’re probably going to do forever. In fact, really I would encourage people to look for three or four jobs over the first four or five years of your career, and do different jobs where you can get exposed to different things, to begin to learn what you like to do as well as what God has gifted you to be good at.
Mike: What advice would you give to homeschool students who are trying to find God’s calling for their lives? Are there any practical things they can do while they are students?
Hugh Whelchel: Yes. In fact, one of the things that we instruct people all the time in this realm is that this is the perfect time to do some soul-searching, to look inward, to really understand who you are in Christ. And we tell people that you should go take a personality test like the Myers-Briggs to understand what your personality is, because God made you that way! You should go take some things to find out what your strengths are. There’s a great little book called Strengthsfinder, put out by the Gallup Organization, and it gives you an idea of what are your top five strengths. You should go take that.
You should think about what has God made you passionate about. Look back at your time in high school, your time in college, and even beyond. What did you do that you really loved doing? What did you do that you’re really good at? All these things begin to give you clues as to who God’s made you. And once you begin to understand that, then the next step is understanding what He’s called you to do. But He has called you to do something that He’s already equipped you to do. So this is the perfect time in your life to really do some soul-searching and look inwardly at who you are in Christ.
Mike: Hugh, thanks so much for joining us this week! And until next time, I’m Mike Smith.

1994’s non-commercial album featuring guitars more strongly than ever before. Includes the hit single “Easy”, not recommended at the first Hunters and Collectors album to try out.
Released in: [Australia / NZ] [Europe] [Canada].
Release Date: 16 May 1994. Remaster: 11 August 2003.
Australian Chart Position: #2 (ARIA) / #2 (AMR) (Gold).
Version: Mushroom and Liberation Records Australian CD album (all the same except for the UK version which adds “Holy Grail“).
Album length: 49 minutes, 44 seconds.
ReplayGain loudness: -5.96dB (1994); -8.43dB (2003/2008).
For somebody living on this side of the planet, the Hunters & Collectors are not a band you just stumble across. You really do have to go out and look for them.
I first started looking when I heard a cover of one of their best-known songs, Throw Your Arms Around Me, on UK radio. The song seemed to fit with some things I was going through at the time, and intrigued about this band, I tracked down their Collected Works compilation album. It actually proved to be something of a disappointment to me, with an unmistakable 80s production sound throughout, which was somewhat lost on me. I felt similar when I then found Human Frailty, and although they are albums I can listen to and enjoy, they never really made it into my pile of favourite CDs.
I then stumbled upon Demon Flower while browsing through a local rarities shop. The version I got had a couple of stickers on it, one advertising the band’s (then) upcoming appearance at the Fleadh in 1994, and another with a mini-review by Bono from U2 commending the group and this album in particular. Bono’s a fairly good judge of a song, I thought, so I went ahead and parted with my cash.
I was far from disappointed. Demon Flower dates from 1994, and is the Hunters & Collectors penultimate studio album. With the 80s production sound (unsurprisingly, for a 1994 album) in absence, and the whole atmosphere generated by the album more in keeping with what I’ve heard of their live repertoire, it’s now one of my favourite rock albums of all time. The loud, guitar-driven sounds define the album, giving it a more vibrant and uplifting feeling than their earlier studio recordings.
For all that I’ve classified it as a rock album, though, there’s some things on there that you mightn’t expect. In almost equal proportion to the wonderful, loud, energetic rock standards are some more ponderous, more intricate tracks. These songs – Back in the Hole, Mr Bigmouth, Newborn, Desert Where Her Heart Is and Ladykiller – don’t get in the way, and can in no way be considered fillers. In both lyrics and music they are pieces of well-crafted punctuation that keep the album from becoming thirteen variations on the same theme. Back in the Hole is one of the highlights of the album, with its delicate, almost inaudible keyboard intro, gradually rising and rising. Even among the rockier tracks, there are things in there that you wouldn’t expect from anyone other than H&C, like French horn and trombone on Betrayer, sounds that just fit and make the songs so much more memorable.
Of the more guitar-based tracks, Easy gets the album off to a good start with its talk of “Crawling my way/like a crab on a shelf”. Panic in the Shade provides another twist in sound, as well as the demon flower of the album’s title, but for me the outstanding track of the whole album is without a doubt Drop in the Ocean. The dominating bass line and distorted guitars provide the perfect platform for Mark Seymour’s voice, and lyrics which I can only interpret as being a wonderful rant against two-facedness.
Indeed, all the way through this album, the lyrics are a joy to listen to. In equal measures cynical, biting, imaginative and astutely-observed, they add a special final ingredient on top of the music itself. No song sums this up more accurately than the final track [UK], Holy Grail, a masterpiece of story telling – as it says itself, it’s a short song but one helluva story!
So, we’ve got the complete recipe list for a great album – catchy tunes, energy, twists, subtlety and razor-sharp lyrics. It’s just a crying shame that so few people outside Australia will ever have heard it.
Note: “Holy Grail” is only on the UK version of “Demon Flower”. It is included in all versions of 1992’s “Cut” album.

In 1999 the Dutch Sculptors' Association (Nederlandse Kring van Beeldhouwers) planned a sculpture exhibition - Landschap Partnerschap (Landscape Partnership) - to be held from April through September 2002 - on the estate of the Groeneveld Castle in Baarn, the Netherlands, the theme being the relationship between man and his environment.
Around the castle itself the English garden style prevails. The surrounding area was charted as plots of farmland according to a geometrical system, as is the layout of the greater part of Holland. The location of the gardens follows this mathematical system. But the style of the gardens themselves is informal and asymmetrical. There are the typical serpentine lakes, winding drives, and clusters of trees in lawns that, in England, echoes the wooded distance, pulling nature towards the house. But here in Holland the effect is the opposite, to a certain extent making the gardens into a oasis inside of the grid of the surrounding landscape. And Holland is flat!
Lucien den Arend, who was invited to participate in this project, chose a location towards the perimeter of the estate. With his installation he interacted with the axial geometry of the long tree lined lane which approaches the castle in its axis.
The location for the semi permanent installation is the area south-west of the lane, leading from a point between the two left trees (below) - the sculptor planted one hundred willows in a curved array leading the eye towards the group of three distant oaks which can be seen between the nearest two trees on the left. | 2019-04-25T16:52:56 | https://www.denarend.com/cities/baarn/index.htm |

Dr Denise Baden’s Eco Hair and Beauty project led her to receive an ESRC Celebrating Impact Prize.
Social science researchers at the University of Southampton will benefit from a major funding boost thanks to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
Southampton’s new ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) award, totalling just over £1 million – part of an overall funding pot worth £27 million - will help social scientists continue to collaborate with businesses, policymakers and other influencers and stakeholders to speed up the impact of their research on society and the economy.
Over the last four years, the University has used its IAA funding in social sciences to create secondments, business development and engagement projects, and training for researchers with excellent results. For example, thanks to IAA funding, Associate Professor Denise Baden from the Southampton Business School has introduced sustainable practices to reduce the carbon footprint and cut costs in the UK’s £6.2bn hairdressing industry. Dr Baden’s Eco Hair and Beauty project has been so influential, it led her to receive the ESRC Celebrating Impact Prize for 2018 for Outstanding Impact in Business and Enterprise.
The fund also supported Dr Judith Joseph, Senior Research-Enterprise Fellow in Psychology, and her POWeR study – Positive Online Weight Reduction – creating an online weight management tool with Changing Health Ltd which benefitted from a pump prime project which resulted in a license deal. Changing Health has also recently closed a £3 million investment round.
Southampton also has IAA awards from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), and a Confidence in Concept award from the Medical Research Council (MRC).
Contact the University's Impact Funding Team for further information on opportunities for collaboration. | 2019-04-22T13:05:58 | https://www.southampton.ac.uk/news/2019/02/iaa-funding-research.page |
In our first installment of You Down with IOT, we defined the internet of things (IoT) and its application in healthcare. If you are reading about IoT for the first time, IoT are internet connected devices which include: wearables, mHealth applications, home monitoring devices, implants, mobile/tablet devices and skin sensors. You Down with IOT Part II looked at benefits to healthcare organizations to integrating IOT devices into clinical workflows. In this final installment, we will look at IOT use cases.
The first use case is Telemed and remote health monitoring. Health organizations are managing risk outside of traditional care environments. Lengths of stay are decreasing and within that shortened amount of time, the clinical staff is expected to have the patient educated to avoid any risk or unplanned readmissions. This puts an additional burden on staff, as well as, the patient.
Telemed and remote health monitoring offer the ability to monitor a patient outside of the four walls of the healthcare organization, while allowing the patient to recover in their home. By deploying IOT devices in the home, healthcare organizations and staff can monitor risk remotely. IOT devices can help organize and prioritize patient outreach, create alerts and triggers for risk stratification and reduce the workload for the case managers.
IOT devices that can help with remote monitoring, including wearables and biosensors, connect the health organization to the patient’s home. Data from these devices have the ability to feed integrate with existing health systems, which turns the patient’s home into an extension of the health organization. In addition to monitoring risk, Telemed and remote health monitoring are also beneficial to reaching patients in rural or outlying areas that may not have the same access as others.
Another use case is the connected hospital. Hospitals are already starting to connect devices and integrate IOT into clinical workflows. The connected devices are improving the patient experience and creating clinical efficiencies. For example, pCare turns the TV in hospital rooms into an interactive device that can be used by patients for tasks including education, temperature and lighting controls among others. Patients can also complete patient reported outcomes or provide other feedback on their smart phones via text or email deployed by the Care Experience CRMD solution.
These are just two examples of how connected hospitals can improve the patient experience and create clinical efficiencies. Connected hospitals can also use IOT devices for security monitoring and facilities management. The connected devices can help keep the facility optimized in terms of things like temperature and environmental controls which help contain costs.
The critical component is having an integrated view of the IOT connected devices. Integration of these devices into an organizations workflow allow for a 360-degree view of either a specific patient, a patient population or entire organization. With all this data, it is important to mute the noise and find the signal. The CRMD dashboard seamlessly integrates IOT devices and integrates, like pCare interactive patient system, and applies cognitive computing to sort through a high velocity and frequency of data to create and drive actionable insights from multiple sources, along with, finding trends and monitoring feedback and service initiatives.
IOT will also help drive innovation as more potential use cases evolve. IOT devices create a better view across the organization and population. Our healthcare partners see increased patient engagement and satisfaction because they know not only are their voices being heard, but that the organization will act on the feedback. Together, the integrated pCare and Care Experience platform can help your organization take advantage of this technology today.

Lachenalia Exhibition, an event in March - Hampshire.
for Lachenalia Exhibition as your favourite British event.
Exbury now has a fine lachenalia collection, which grows alongside our famous collection of Nerine sarniensis, traditionally displayed during October. The collection will be on show in the Gardens Five Arrows Gallery.
Lachenalias (also known as the Cape Cowslip or the Leopard Lily) are a family of about 120 species, belonging to the greater Hyacinthaceae family. They are winter flowering bulbs, which originate from the winter rainfall region of southern Africa, being dormant in summer, and growing and flowering in winter. At Exbury the first lachenalias will begin to flower in autumn with the last ones flowering in early spring. However, the bulk of the lachenalias will flower from February to April. Our fine collection also contains many of the lachenalia variations, extending to over 120 different species or variations. | 2019-04-19T18:32:10 | http://information-britain.co.uk/listevent.php?id=7668 |
Ahoy-hoy! Today I’ll be talking about a Kickstarter called Lands of Ruin. This is a 28mm scale, skirmish sized game set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Already getting my attention. It’s got all you’d expect from this kind of game; cannibal raiders, people trying to rebuild the world in their image and zombies (called “rotters”). Add in a character with chemically-lobotomized slaves that wear explosive vests…well, you had me at chemically-lobotomized slaves. OK, I’ll admit, I’m already interested. Here’s where it really kicks off. The game is designed with each player having access to a tablet (currently Android, iOS to come). This has all of his character cards, a live map and works out all of the game rules for you. So far, so cool. This allows for a very deep system without all the usual memorisation that goes with it. My character has say 20 action points do things with and I can spend them without my opponent knowing what I’m up to. All the numbers are crunched by the app and you can get on with the actual playing of the game. Sweet.
This is Mulciber…and his chemically-lobotomized slaves…that explode. I’m in love.
If all this seems a bit much, check out the intro video. Because after this, it gets really crazy. Thanks to the app, you can have snipers set up and your opponent won’t know where. Perhaps you have access to a scanner and be forewarned about the “rotters” coming onto the board. You might have even run out of ammo but your opponent doesn’t know, prompting them to flee in terror. This to me, is a huge part of where this game can take us. I hate that my scouts are visible on the table, any trap I think to place can be easily avoided and if I want an interesting ruleset I have to memorise books of information just to play. Lands of Ruin isn’t simply access to rules and character cards, it allows a full play experience. I might shoot you and put you down but only you know if he’s dead. I organise my troops before you act and have to improvise on the fly. I might know ahead of time where an airstrike is coming and lure you into it’s path of destruction. I want to play this so bad.
This guy’s a sniper. Hence the gun. The Reclaimers are slightly more “civilised” than the Balean raiders. Bah.
If you want to know more you can find the Lands of Ruin YouTube channel that has some really insightful developer chats and a battle report. Added to what I’ve mentioned is an experience tracker with skills etc. A ranking system that allows you to communicate with opponents. The list goes on. Give it a look and think about giving it a kickstart. If we don’t, something this awesome might not become fully realised. Then we would be living in a land of ruin. | 2019-04-20T23:05:34 | https://thebattlehammer.com/2016/02/23/lands-of-ruin-the-next-generation-of-wargame/ |

Suggester said: "The way the dress of Poseidon becomes a roaring ocean is a great way to combine the power of this legendary sea god with the feminine form the artist has chosen. Absolutely stunning!"
It is a cross stitch company.
* I need artists written permission.
Can you write "permission granted" in a comment to this reply?
I can screen shot that and send that to the company to make this a piece.
Or write : permission granted from artists to create this art as a fine art needlework project.
It will be 4-6 weeks to make the chart or pattern, then many months to complete the needlework if you like to see the finished design.
Great gender bender!!! I loved her dress!
very cool art work i love it.
Beatiful and great art work, congratulations!
I can't stop thinking of this stellar painting. It's really completely awesome.
First of all, Poseidon is a guy. I'm a Greek Mythology geek, I would know. Second of all, yes, she is beautiful, but the inaccuracy just...bugs me for some reason. Good work, though, it's amazing.
WOW it's so amazing & I like it!!!!!!!!
And I love the little touch with the anchors! It takes a minute of looking at the piece to notice them, but they're a cool accent to her costume!
I love how her dress turns into waves at the end. Looks really amazing because the transition from dress to waves was done smoothly!
Hoooly cow o___o This is amazing!
This is incredibly gorgeous, the detail on her face and the water is wonderful.
As a woman? Still, very awesomely done! Especially the water dress.
The seeeeas are his palace!
I WAS gonna say this is beautiful, but "beautiful" does not do this picture justice.

As our plants are located below the ground and use the whole head of groundwater, they achieve high yield with low space requirements.
They are used as foods, fertilizers, fodder and much more. And our ranches are open source: Anyone with 20 hectares, a ship and 20,000 dollars can be up and run within a year. The 3D Ocean Farm is conceived in such a way that it can be reproduced. The Farm Startup Program supports new growers from approval to sale and from seeds to crop.
Featuring over 10,000 eatable marine species and more of the United States under water than above, this is our chance to reorder the seabed and alleviate pressures on fisheries, with sustained seabirds in the center and feral fishing on the edge. Through our restoration breeding facilities, shellfish centres and on-line resource centres, we are laying the groundwork for the emergent blue-green economies and providing the land-based infrastructures necessary for the sustained development of our new growers.
3-D Oceans Farms rebuilds naturally occurring coral ecosystems with indigenous and restoration types that once provided protection for coastline municipalities from severe storm winds and increased our resistance to climate-related meteorological conditions. Cultures that we cultivate do not need fertilisers, fresh water or an antibiotic, making 3-D marine cultivation the most viable way of producing foods on the world.
Low oxygen death zone is a big worldwide crises, and the primary cause is nitrate, which comes from our farmers, plants and cottages. The 3D Ocean Farm sequestrates the flow of nutrients and enables us to use this precious asset in fertilizers and pet food. The 3D Ocean Farm is a communal space where anyone can go fishing and boating.
Our task is to make sure that our seas stay together in our natural and unspoiled world. | 2019-04-22T03:03:38 | http://www.blogdesignsbydani.com/topic/3docean |

TEASER #2: "Mockingjay, Part I"
The second teaser for the Hunger Games sequel arrived today, again playing up the realness of the Panem universe. This one's called "Unity" and contains an appearance from Jeffery Wright. I can only presume that Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss will eventually show up in one of these teasers herself, right?

Named by President Barack Obama to the National Board of Education Sciences and recipient of the 2018 Yidan Prize for education research, Larry Hedges’ ground-breaking work with statistics has been redefined the way schools and universities gather metadata for creating more equal learning environments.
The City Paper (TCP): China is making education a pillar of its economic growth. How does the U.S fare with education?
Larry Hedges (LH): I believe there is good evidence to support that the U.S used to have a compelling advantage over other countries. But, that advantage has begun to erode and by some calculations has practically disappeared. The reason why education is getting more attention in the U.S in the last 20 years than the past 50, is precisely for this reason. Policymakers understand that national competitiveness is strongly dependent on the quality of the education of the workforce. I am not naive enough to think that the interest in education during these last two decades is the consequence of a sudden discovery– or enlightenment – of caring for children. It has a lot more to do with caring about the competitiveness of our economy.
TCP: How has the education model changed over these last two decades?
LH: I think the challenge for the U.S and other large, diverse countries is to create an egalitarian system with high levels of achievement. Very large and diverse countries struggle with this and none of us – China and India included – have it solved. The good news is that the U.S is paying attention to inequality. The No Child Left Behind Act, which is much reviled in many quarters because it set impossible goals, did have one visionary characteristic: it forced schools to actually measure their inequality by collecting data. For the first time, schools began having the capacity to know just how unequal they were, especially with the historically disadvantaged. We knew quite a bit about inequality at a national level, but we had no idea what the pattern of inequality was around the country. This was shocking to a lot of Americans.
TCP: China and India have powerful economies, but does this mean an educated workforce?
LH: All countries are facing the same kind of questions as they move from a system that tries to educate an elite, to one that tries to educate very broadly with high levels of competence. In the U.S, we have moved from a system that did a very good job to educate a small group of people to elite standards, and a large number of people to lesser standards. That’s not good enough in the modern world. We are going to have to educate a much bigger proportion of the population to levels that historically were unreachable. This is a challenge China also faced. They have proven that they can educate at the very top, but what they haven’t figured out, is what we haven’t figured out, either: educate a large group of people whose parents never went to college. We are deceiving ourselves if we believe that we know all the answers.
TCP: So, what solutions are out there to broaden the scope to education?
LH: This calls for an attack on the problem like we addressed with public health. In the 1890s we knew that people could live into the seventies with productive lives. But most didn’t. Life expectancy for a white male was 38 years. We didn’t get to a life expectancy of 78 years because doctors got smarter. We got here, because we decided to have a society that emphasized scientific research. As we gradually learned how to make improvements in medicine there were occasionally giant strides, such as the discovery of antibiotics, but hundreds of smaller innovations, transformed the possibility of us now enjoying healthy and productive lives. That is going to happen in education.
TCP: There is a perception that the U.S education system remains one of haves and have-nots. Your life story, however, has defied this perception.
LH: The perception may be more optimistic than the reality. I think there is a belief in the U.S that it is easy to transcend one’s past. My sense is that people fail more often than they should, and more often than the methodology suggests. In one sense, it’s important to get reality in line with the perception and thereby work to improve reality.
TCP: How has the “return stage” to an education changed since you went to college?
LH: As education becomes more important to society in terms of how much money one makes in a lifetime, over the last 20 years we have seen this “return stage” to a college education increase dramatically. At one point, a student had to sacrifice four years out of the workforce to earn a degree that only meant a small increase in salary over someone who with a high school education, and remained in the workforce. Today, the differences are dramatic. This has fueled a desire by more people to go to college, and it has also fuelled the creation of the education equivalent of patent medicine.
TCP: How do you view the situation in the U.S between a public and private university system?
LH: When I was a college student at the University of California it was well funded and viewed as a crown jewel of the state’s accomplishments. The public university system is increasingly poorly funded and many have had to scramble to pay their bills. In fact, the high cost of tuition has also priced many poor students out of the market if they can’t get a scholarship. Our private universities, on the other hand, are outrageously expensive and because of their tuitions have managed to ear-mark wealth. Much of this wealth is going to fund scholarships for students who cannot afford to pay. They are also reaching out to communities that didn’t typically come to their universities. This is creating opportunities as education must bridge social divides. | 2019-04-26T03:58:21 | https://thecitypaperbogota.com/living/yidan-2018-laureate-larry-hedges-on-education-to-bridge-social-divides/20909 |

Well I did it. After shopping around for the past couple months and reading every post I could find, watching every video I could find I took the leap and bought a new Peavey Valveking II 20 watt combo. I love the amp. I get good tone at low volume, and can practice at bedroom level as well as getting loud enough to jam or gig small venues. I love the amps clean channel and the dirt channel goes beyond my needs. So what else could I want? Well, although the tone is good with the factory speaker I would like more low end. The high end and definition of the stock Valveking speaker is pretty good, but it can get a little fizzy with distortion set at high gain. Would the ET90 be the best choice for my amp?
I don't think the ET90 would be a bad choice ... but my gut tells me the Reaper or Reaper HP would be the BEST choice ... but my disclaimer is that I've never played through that amp!
I've got three Reaper 30s. One is in a 25 watt Peavey Bravo, another is in a Peavey Express and the third is laying in wait for a Peavey Classic 30 to come along at the right price. I've been interested in the Valve Kings too and if I got one like yours I would definitely go with the Reaper- no doubt about it.
The Reaper is fantastic. Nice full and resonant low end and sparkly crips highs and very articulate and well-rounded. I can guarantee you will like it way better than the stock BM- no comparison. Great for lower-watt amps IMHO. Sounds super at low volumes or high volumes. Has nice speaker break-up when pushed too but still pretty clean.
While I do not have the ET90, I'm very interested in it. I have an old Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 that I recently refurbished and I think it would just love a pair of ET90s. They are also 100 watts which is what both of the speakers would need to be rated at as it is a 200 watt RMS amp. But for lower-powered amps, I think I would stick with the Reaper.
Thanks guys! That will help. Any demos of the reaper on you tube?
Hey I also have a Valveking II 20w but my needs are slightly different.
a. Will wake up the amp - make it more lively.
b. Without beinig overly bright or tons of bottom end (I run a Super Champ X2 in tandem with the Peavey. Using a separate oversized cab with a 10" blue alnico, the X2 gives me lots of brights and a big ole bottom).
c. Is extremely versatile - something that does all sounds (everything less than uber BRUTALZ) well. All generes from very clean to pretty well overdriven.
It doesn't need to be extra loud or anything - I'm mostly a studio guy. Think articulate, responsive and extremely versatile/able to handle anything I throw at it.
I am looking at the Retro 30 or the ET65. (Maybe a g12c/s, but I might get a c/s to replace the somteimes overly bright alnico blue in the SCX2, so I don't know).
Wow ... your needs are actually QUITE different! And ... for you ... I'd say go ET65, FOR SURE!!
This summer I picked up a Valveking II micro head. It has the same output section as my combo. I'm building a stereo rig and I just ordered a Reaper HP for this cab. I hope the blend of ET90 I got for my combo and the Reaper HP sounds as good as I think it will. One question though. The cab I'm using with the mini head is closed. Which speaker will work better in a closed cab, or should I convert the second cab to an open one?
Man ... the Reaper will sound excellent in a closed back cab!
Hi Vaughn, I have a VKII 20 watts and need a speaker able to give more fatter low end, i play country and using the Bridge pick up on my telecaster, on clean channel i have to dial the bass at 7 or 8 to get a nice warm tone, on the lead channel, it's at 10 and would need a lot more to be happy, i replace the 12ax7 on this channel to drop the gain, i use now a 12ay7 and it's now more controlable! i was thinking at the ET65, what do you think?
I think a Reaper HP is probably your best choice!
Thanks for your time Vaughn! | 2019-04-22T18:55:37 | https://wgsusa.com/valveking-ii-help |

One Eternal Day: Faithful to Lewis?
Reepicheep is the very embodiment of this longing. At the beginning of the film, we hear Reep reciting his lullaby. He then talks to Lucy about his hope and desire to make it to Aslan’s country. When he finally arrives there at the end, the scenery is breathtaking. Reep delivers an incredibly moving speech to Aslan about his longing and desire for his country. I won’t ruin it for you, but it draws heavily upon the passage in The Problem of Pain where Lewis writes about something we “were born desiring,” and that even our greatest moments have been but “tantalizing glimpses” of it. When Reep abandons his sword and bravely sets sail in his little coracle, it will send shivers down the spines of all friends of Narnia.
Finally, there is the critical scene of Eustace’s undragoning. We had a nice workshop during the script development about grace being something that cannot be earned – it can only be given. So we wanted to make sure that this critical concept was conveyed with the undragoning, but we added a battle between Eustace the dragon and the sea serpent.
Here is the way it plays out: Reepicheep encourages a very reluctant Eustace to do battle with the Sea Serpent. Reep makes it clear in a way that only he can – that there must not be any retreat or any surrender. To do so would spell certain death for everybody aboard the Dawn Treader. Yet after some initial fighting, Eustace retreats to protect himself, despite Lucy pleading to him to come back to help them and despite his knowledge that he is most certainly leaving them to die.
Flaherty also says that whether Silver Chair will be filmed depends entirely on the success of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Assuming it is made, the next would be The Magician's Nephew. | 2019-04-21T06:51:07 | https://www.one-eternal-day.com/2010/12/faithful-to-lewis.html |
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Radio New Zealand International, Dec. 1, 2014) – Solidarity events are being held today around the world to mark West Papua Flag Day.
December 1st is the 53rd anniversary of West Papua's declaration of independence from the Netherlands in 1961, a year before Indonesia invaded the territory.
The former Dutch New Guinea was subsequently incorporated into Indonesia under a UN-sanctioned process.
However, West Papuans continue to mark Independence Day in a variety of ways, including demonstrations, raising the outlawed Morning Star despite the threat of arrest and incarceration by Indonesian police.
Today there are expected to be demonstrations and flag-raisings in West Papua, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific in support of West Papuans' calls for self-determination.
A rally will be held outside New Zealand's parliament today and in Vanuatu it is a public holiday, as a gesture of solidarity. | 2019-04-18T18:31:55 | http://www.pireport.org/articles/2014/12/01/west-papuans-supporters-marks-53rd-independence-day |

Discernment Romans 5:11 ...what IS the "Original Tyndale" ...salvation ?
And the measures and matters of GOD'S TRUTH shown ...for all ...or anywhatsoever is Given is a blessing to the children of God.
> pertaining to the Tyndale Version. I agree with you > that it is the best version.
Question: Your website seems to hint at the fact that Tyndale translated the whole Bible.
other matters rise ...of plain understanding ...the "time factor" Tyndale and Rogers were chased unto death for over 12 years ...during the translation times ...and only ...just over three years were needed to translate all of the New Testament ...and another two year plus months to complete to 2nd chronicles ...now measure the matter for yourself ...if you were being chased to death ...over a works ...and having nearly twice as much time as needed..(though you lost all in a ship wreck once) ...the record is clear ...Tyndale did have time and a way was made for him to finish the translation ...OF THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD !!!
Question: I've found that it is said, that while > Tyndale did translate the whole New Testament, he > never did finish all of the Old. From my studies > (which was how I found your site), I have found that > it is said that Tyndale translated the first 14 > books of the Old Testament, Jonah and a couple of > others. He did not ever translate the 14 "lost" > books, (which it is said even Jerome had problems > with translating, and only did so under extreme > pressure). Is that the correct information that I > have found concerning Tyndale and his work?
Question: Another question I have to ask, is about the word "Advoutry".
The Webster's Dictionary says that > advoutry means adultery: > Advoutry- \Ad*vou"try\, Advowtry \Ad*vow"try\, n. > [OE. avoutrie, avouterie, advoutrie, OF. avoutrie, > avulterie, fr. L. adulterium. Cf. Adultery] > Adultery. [Obs.] --Bacon.
Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary.
Question: Could you tell me where did you get your definition from?
Question: Concerning the original Tyndale writing, it says > "this attonment" rather then "the atonement" as both > your Tyndale and the KJV states, in Romans 5:11.
Question/statement by "kindstranger" : This suggests that the atonement is salvation, when > the original Tyndale suggests that this atonement is > the calling to the fellowship of the Gospel, not > salvation itself.
Question/statement by "kindstranger" :We know that within the fellowship of the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, yes unto, which of course means within this calling can we find, or rather receive salvation.
Answer:"We know" ???...who knows ? You know ? Billions gather up in their "own man made "religions " KNOW ??? ...know what ???
within the fellowship...what "fellowship? ...oh you mean ...the 1000's times 1000 churches ...all saying Jesus this and Jesus that !! ??? that "fellowship" ?? and or the gospel of who ?? each of the 100,000 "religions" of man ...you mean each of their "gospels" ??? ...of this "power of God" unto "salvation"...meaning if any do like any are taught of all these diverse religions and churches "of man" ...then salvation is granted to them ??? Perfectly religious and perfectly churchly ???
Nevertheless KNOW ...Look see the root of the evil "gathering up" of "man" ...do they not gather up for any reason ?? ANY reason ??? football basketball hockey car races ...baby showers ...cook outs ...and 10,000 times 10,000 other reasons ... OH then if they say we "gather up" in the name of Jesus ! ...then all are justified that do such a thing ??? BEFORE GOD AND CHRIST .....ARE THEY JUSTIFIED ??? even when they justify themselves ??? EVEN UNTO SALVATION .....THAT THEY IMAGINE FOR THEMSELVES ...!!!???
IS GOD AND CHRIST ...not able to gather their children up themselves ???
Did not my father God's holy ghost (the power of God ) ...did not the holy ghost ...go out ahead of even Jesus ...when he was here in the flesh ??? ...in towns ...and towns and places ...ahead of Jesus ...that any might KNOW him when he came ???
IS not "salvation" ONLY found in the very realness of Jesus Christ ??? Him actually ...truly ...really ...VERITY ...mending the very hearts and souls of any unto God my father ???
IS there ANY OTHER WAY?? "WAY"??? ...any way of man ??? religion church ...trailer gathering `??? what so ever ...even a single man ...monkishly ...imagining... his own salvation ???
Have these no FEAR of God ?? to watch every word that comes out of their mouths ? Every thought of their minds ? Every moving of their hearts ?? ...Even as it is written they should know this !
OH Tush ! say these ! ...whatsoever WE do ...what soever we say ...whatsoever WE believe ...that is what we will DO ...Jesus this and Jesus that ...in his name this ...and in his name that ! ...even miracles do we do in his name ...!

Q) How often do you deliver?
Q) How fresh is your fish?
A) The fish we deliver is bought the morning of delivery from Grimsby Fish Market and brought to you the same afternoon or evening.
Q) What time do you deliver?
A) We deliver in most areas between the hours of 2 – 7pm.
Q) What will a kilo of fish give me?
A) From a kilo of fish you should be able to get 4 -5 individual meals from it.
Q) How do I place my order?
A) A member of our highly trained Telesales Department will telephone you a week before delivery date to take your order and inform you of all the special offers and new products we have. Our Telesales department is open between 9am – 7pm Monday to Friday.
Q) Do you only sell fish?
A) Fresh fish is what we are famous for but we also offer a range of quality made, prepared fish products such as goujons, fishcakes, breaded haddock, salmon Wellingtons and much more. Alongside of these products we also offer an exclusive range of hand made meat products that are prepared for us by a Lincolnshire Farm Shop eg: Chicken Wellingtons, all these products can be found on our Web Site.
A) A Minimum order is either 2kg of fresh fish or £12.50 in sterling. This over the 8 week period equates to £2.00 per week.
Q) If I order fresh fish do I have to have 2 – 3kg of the same fish?
A) No, obviously people like variety so in a 2 -3 box of fish you can have 2 – 3 different types of your favourite fish.
Q) How is the fish delivered?
A) Fresh fish such as cod, haddock, plaice, salmon etc will be filleted and packed in a box covered in ice. This will need to be separated and bagged for the freezer when delivered. Smoked fish is traditionally prepared in a smoke house and wrapped in paper. This too will have to be separated and bagged. All our fish is delivered to your door in one of our modern refrigerated vans.
Q) Do you offer products that may get children eating more fish?
A) Yes, a lot of our existing customers not only get fresh fish for themselves but choose certain products that their children enjoy. The two most popular children’s products are Jumbo Fish Fingers, these are a prime Pollock fillet in a crispy oven bake breadcrumb and our breaded cod loins which are a juicy cod loin portion skinned and boned in a natural breadcrumb. There are also a number of other relevant products we sell.
Q) Can I buy extra products off the van on the delivery day?
A) No, unfortunately, we only carry what our customers have ordered. This cuts down on waste and cost, keeping our prices competitive, so do make sure when our telesales operator calls you, you ask for everything you need for the 9 week period.

Q) How do I pay for my order?
A) You can either give debit / credit card details at the time of placing your order, although this will not be processed until the day after your delivery or you can give cash or cheque to the delivery driver, once your fish has been delivered. As our rounds are quite large, approx 50 – 80 people to deliver to, it is always most appreciated if customers can have the correct payment ready when the driver calls on you. This helps ensure all customers receive the best quality of our service.
Q) How much does it cost for delivery?
A) There is no delivery charge, just the price of your products. | 2019-04-19T05:14:44 | http://ddfish.co.uk/faq/ |

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often have vitamin D deficiency, which is associated with increased susceptibility to upper respiratory infection—a major precipitant of exacerbation. Multicentre trials of vitamin D supplementation for prevention of exacerbation and upper respiratory infection in patients with COPD are lacking. We therefore investigated whether vitamin D3 (colecalciferol) supplementation would reduce the incidence of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations and upper respiratory infections.
We did a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of vitamin D3 supplementation in adults with COPD in 60 general practices and four Acute National Health Service Trust clinics in London, UK. Patients were allocated to receive six 2-monthly oral doses of 3 mg vitamin D3 or placebo over 1 year in a 1:1 ratio using computer-generated permuted block randomisation. Participants and study staff were masked to treatment assignment. Coprimary outcomes were time to first moderate or severe exacerbation and first upper respiratory infection. Analysis was by intention to treat. A prespecified subgroup analysis was done to assess whether effects of the intervention on the coprimary outcomes were modified by baseline vitamin D status. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00977873.
240 patients were randomly allocated to the vitamin D3 group (n=122) and placebo group (n=118). Vitamin D3 compared with placebo did not affect time to first moderate or severe exacerbation (adjusted hazard ratio 0·86, 95% CI 0·60–1·24, p=0·42) or time to first upper respiratory infection (0·95, 0·69–1·31, p=0·75). Prespecified subgroup analysis showed that vitamin D3 was protective against moderate or severe exacerbation in participants with baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of less than 50 nmol/L (0·57, 0·35–0·92, p=0·021), but not in those with baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of at least 50 nmol/L (1·45, 0·81–2·62, p=0·21; p=0·021 for interaction between allocation and baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status). Baseline vitamin D status did not modify the effect of the intervention on risk of upper respiratory infection (pinteraction=0·41).
Vitamin D3 supplementation protected against moderate or severe exacerbation, but not upper respiratory infection, in patients with COPD with baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of less than 50 nmol/L. Our findings suggest that correction of vitamin D deficiency in patients with COPD reduces the risk of moderate or severe exacerbation. | 2019-04-23T16:59:10 | https://vitamindwiki.com/COPD+reduced+by+vitamin+D+taken+once+every+60+days+%E2%80%93+RCT+Dec+2014 |

The Last Dance is a TV drama directed by Kevin Dowling from a script by Dalene Young, based on Beth Polson’s story, which was adapted from Todd F. Cope’s book The Shift.
The film was originally broadcast on CBS in October 2000. It was released on DVD, but is only periodically available on Amazon. It also shows up on sites like Ebay, Sell.com, and iOffer.com from time to time.
Helen, a widow long retired from teaching, lives alone in a charming house brimming with books and small treasures from her years with her husband, Charlie Parker, a military hero and aviator, who was her one true love.
Helen spends her time quietly reminiscing about days gone by and tending to her lush garden. When she falls ill, she is reunited with a former student, Todd Cope, a nurse on staff at the local hospital where she is a patient. | 2019-04-26T14:11:57 | http://www.eric-stoltz.net/films/the-last-dance/ |

Our 4-week intensive course will provide you with the tools and guidance to become a qualified TEFL/ESL teacher and seek out competitive jobs. Here we give you a better idea of what our TEFL course contains.
Presentation is where the teacher presents students new information, a list of new vocabulary or a grammar point, and offers examples and real-life usage of the new language. This must be detailed and may be presented in many ways until the student can fully grasp what it means.
Practice is where students will be given an activity to practice the new aspect of language – this could be a reading exercise, fill in the gap or games.
Production is where the students will use the language in context, in an activity set up by the teacher, maybe by writing a letter or role-playing with other students.
The most important aspect of our course is the teaching experience you will gain. Each trainee teaches 6 classes which are observed by a member of the TtMadrid team. As part of the course, you are also required to watch 6 of your peers teach, an invaluable experience in allowing you to refine your skills. We offer free English classes at the school and have many Spanish-speaking students that sign up for them with the objective of improving their English. They are a wonderful group of people, and we will give you the experience of teaching all levels from A1 to C1, with both group and one-to-one classes. You may also have the opportunity to teach a telephone class during the course too!
During the first week of the course, you will watch 4 model classes given by the TtMadrid team. We will show you how to design a class, how to give it, what techniques to use and how to control the members of your class. This week of “observing” will ensure that you find the transition into the second week of “doing” much smoother.
The process is simple. We plan a class together using the PPP methodology – Presentation (“I do it”), Practice (“We do it”), Production (“You do it”). Once your plan is complete, you then teach your class. One of the TtMadrid trained observers will be sat at the back observing your class from start to finish, writing a detailed feedback form at the same time. Once your class is over, we will sit down together to discuss how the class went, what you did well and what you need to work on for your following class. By giving such structured and supportive feedback, the quality of your teaching improves incredibly quickly.
Planning a lesson is one of the things that new teachers find very daunting. During the first week of the course, you will be given example lesson plans to follow as you observe the TtMadrid team teach. You will then, over two lessons, dissect the components of a good lesson plan to understand its composition and the rationale behind it. In addition, you will learn how to write excellent objectives that give you a clear focus of what you are trying to achieve. You will also be introduced to the PPP lesson planning methodology (presentation, practice, production) that will ensure you are capable of writing a thorough and effective lesson plan, regardless of your level of experience. You will be required to produce six lesson plans whilst on the course.
During this input, you will analyze a range of real-life scenarios–things that we know (based on our extensive experience) will happen to you as a teacher within weeks, if not days, of starting work. We are committed to ensuring that you complete the course confident in your ability to deal with a range of students: the dominant student, the quiet and painfully shy student who hides in the back of the classroom and the busy business person who can’t be disconnected from their mobile phone. Regardless of the situation, you will be able to handle yourself with both grace and professionalism, leaving the student in no doubt that they are in the capable hands of a trained practitioner.
Many teachers use the same materials year in, year out, which is both uninspiring and demotivating for students. Finding up-to-date and interesting material in books, newspapers and websites, as well as designing your own materials and creating games, is essential to keeping your students captivated and motivated. Teaching business English can be even more of a challenge and we will put you on the right track by providing you with a wide range of materials and skills, to keep your teaching material portfolio up-to-date.
Once your TEFL course is over, our door always remains open to you. TtMadrid grads are welcome to come back to use our extensive library, our computers and materials or even just for a chat and a cup of tea!
This project requires you to work in a group to do an in-depth analysis of the needs and abilities of an English student. This project is very extensive and will really test, through the application, the things you have learned on the course. After collecting a range of data through testing your student’s listening, reading, writing and speaking skills, you will use this data to develop a telephone class, needs analysis and course plan. You will also be required to use the knowledge you’ve gained of grammar, phonetics, word stress, sentence stress and intonation to dissect the data collected in order to determine your student’s strengths, weaknesses and level in accordance with the Common European Framework.
Learning how to identify mistakes and correct them is crucial to a student’s development. Moving from one level to the next in English is often very difficult and is greatly reliant on thorough correction from a consistent teacher. However, effective correction is not an easy skill to master. What to correct? When to correct? How to correct? Are all important questions that will be answered in this two-part input. You will see a student and teacher work together so you can see live examples of error and correction.
To ensure that you know how to develop a course tailored to your students’ needs.
We call our TEFL course the TEFL Plus course! The reason being is that we do all the subjects of a regular TEFL course as well as some additional units that we believe make you very marketable and extremely employable. We are determined to ensure that our graduates have an edge over other teachers. Two units that will give you this edge are Needs Analysis and Oral Level Testing. Many companies will employ a team of teachers for a few weeks before the start of the teaching year to do comprehensive Needs Analysis and Level Testing within companies. This is a great opportunity to earn extra cash outside the teaching year. Knowing how to design and conduct both these things just gives you an extra string to your bow.
There is a huge demand for one-to-one classes here in Madrid and as a result, all trainees will receive training on this type of class. Many of the resources you will find in books and on the internet suit groups–not one-to-one classes. We will show you how to adapt your material and style to meet the different objectives of one-to-one teaching. Many senior executives take this type of class in order to meet specific objectives such as a new project with an English-speaking company, a job promotion, or because it is expected within the company. We will teach you how to identify their motivation and needs and how to teach them effectively.
This is the new phenomenon that is sweeping Spain and most of Europe! With business people finding it increasingly difficult to attend group classes due to their busy schedules, many are turning to telephone classes. You call the student at a pre-arranged time and work through agreed themes and topics. These are fun and interesting, but you need different skills and materials in order to teach this type of class. All of our trainers are experienced telephone teachers who have designed and prepared extensive lessons and role plays. We will pass on our knowledge to you and, best of all, you don’t even have to get out of bed to teach these classes!
This is a core element of the course and taught over three inputs (Reading/Writing, Listening and Speaking). We will comprehensively look at the things you need to consider when teaching these skills and explore varied and interesting ways of helping your students develop in these areas.
This is the module that students fear the most before signing up to do a TEFL course. We are well aware that many of us don’t formally learn about the grammatical characteristics of our own language at school any more. Therefore, we have created our entire grammar inputs with this in mind. We will take you back to the very basics and slowly build upon this. Within a very short period of time, you will not only be able to understand grammar, tenses and parts of speech, but you will be able to teach them effectively too.
Understanding the English phonemic alphabet is a very important tool that will be invaluable as you help your students with their pronunciation. Being able to use the phonemic alphabet will also set you apart from many teachers who underutilize it as a teaching tool. Being able to demonstrate to students how to correctly make a “bilabial plosive sound” and what exercises they can do in order to make these sounds with greater ease in the future will not only impress your students, but it will also result in improved pronunciation in a short amount of time.
Pronunciation is an area that all students of English worry about. As a result they will greatly appreciate your knowledge in this area that is fraught with confusions such as ‘ate’ and ‘eight’ and ‘meet’ and ‘meat’. We will send you the phonemic chart so you can become familiar with it before the course starts.
YOU get to be the student learning a foreign language!
Something all great English teachers have in common is the ability to empathize and relate to what their students are going through. Learning another language requires courage, patience, persistence and hard work, and as a teacher you need to understand the myriad of emotions your students feel whilst in the classroom. Putting yourself in their shoes will make you a better teacher and help you design more successful classes.
With this in mind we get you to undertake two lessons in another language whilst on the course. You will receive lessons using the TEFL methodology. This is not only to ensure you experience what your students experience, but it is also to ensure you gain confidence using a system whereby you are only taught in the language you are learning. We want you to be able to work anywhere in the world regardless of the language you speak. TEFL is a methodology that will expand your teaching opportunities—a qualification that is effective and recognized everywhere. The TtMadrid team has a variety of talents and is home to two fabulous Russian and Croatian teachers!
During the classes you will be required to take notes in order to complete a journal about your thoughts and feelings and identify the skills and styles that the teacher is using to help you learn the language. This really is a fun element of the course and, without exception, students find this an invaluable experience.
You will receive two Teaching Children inputs over the duration of the course, focusing on both the theoretical and practical elements involved. During the first session, you will explore forms of effective classroom management as well as finding useful sites to source materials for children of all ages. In the second input, we will show you how PPP can be applied to a young learner’s environment in a fun and dynamic manner.
Whether you are planning to look for a TEFL/ESL job in Spain, return home, or go to another country to teach English, we will help you work out the best career path for you. We will spend time with you to work out the next stage to ensure your teaching career gets off to a flying start. If you are planning on working in Spain, we will give you all the information you need from housing, taxes and finding a doctor to helping you get your NIE appointment, bank account and mobile phone.
We also have fantastic contacts with some of the best-paying teaching agencies in Madrid. We will help you tailor your CV to the teaching market and send it to over 350 schools, academies and agencies in Madrid. If you are planning to go to work in other countries, we have a wide range of information, resources and contacts.
We also offer full support after the course and you can come back with any queries, questions or just to tell us how you’re doing. We are always pleased to keep in contact with our former trainees and offer them whatever guidance and support they may need.
Many TEFL courses in Madrid and beyond also employ you as they run their own in-company classes. Whilst we know this seems like a plus, TtMadrid specifically chose not to have its own English classes from day one. We chose to do this because, for us, it is simple: we are a teacher training organization and we put all our focus into this. We also knew that you can only offer some of your graduates some hours, so what happens to the rest? You then need to find them jobs with your competitors, which is never easy.
TtMadrid works with so many schools, academies and agencies because we do not compete with them–so they play nicely with us. We generally receive about 20 job offers a week from them and work with quite a few agencies that like to interview you before the course is even finished so they can employ you with an empty schedule.
ALL our graduates get good quality work straight after the course because we are well-connected and are relentless in our support to ensure you get what you came here for. | 2019-04-25T09:48:39 | https://ttmadrid.com/the-ttmadrid-tefl-course/ |
K-Drive usable in different way.
From the beginning of Fortuna K-drives were useless for me, because there is archwing. Saw the newest devstream about making K-drives useful and I just made a quick thoughts on it. 1.Make K-drives equipable in ALL missions, I don't see a point of restricting them only to open worlds. It's a nice difference beetwen archwings and for the more points down below. Optional: a)Make them equipable with Operators, I know that they have void dash but it would be nice to make them use something. 2.Make sprinting for Warframes and operators default, no longer need to hold sprint key to run. 3. While holding sprint key K-drive appear while running and your Warframe/operator step on it without any stop, just still moving smoothly forward and you are on K-drive, but it's a different K-drive equipment that works differently, let's call his "Quick K-drive mode" (explained below). So K-drives become a new sprint key which is faster sprinting. Pressing once or tapping sprint key still makes roll. How this works?: a)You can still equip your K-drive as it is now to make tricks and some other stuff. b)Equiping K-drive with sprint key don't allow you to do tricks, it works as melee 2.9/3.0 any action with auto unequip this K-drive mode: -Pressing shift, make immediately roll and unequiping K-drive. -shoting will unequip "Quick K-drive mode" -aiming will unequip "Quick K-drive mode" -melee attack will unequp "Quick K-drive mode" -Slide right now have no idea : P -Jump will do higher jump and unequip "Quick K-drive mode" -Holding jump will charge up higher jump and unequip "Quick K-drive mode" So almost any action that is not standard moving around or sprinting will unequip "Quick K-drive mode" 4.Each K-drive have it's own 4 abilities just like Warframes, so you can have additional 4 new abilities by just sprinting and entering "Quick K-drive mode". I like the way how we can quickly go into operator mode and do something different, so having quick K-drive access with new possibilities would add even MORE possibilities : D So what kind of abilities? there can be done several ideas, but to show it up here is an CC example type of ability: Of course all can be changed depending on what DE is going to do with that. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe someone will get a better idea from this one. Cheers.
Well in every new Warframe I see the problem: It looks fine but the problem is that you have to do something to make it work, while there are many other Frames that are doing the same or something really similar with just ONE button press.
meeeh update for me, nothing interesting and nothing from QoL changes interests me.
It would be cool if there would be some directional attack that push enemies to the sides you want. -Dodge left + swing = swing from left side to right, that push enemies to RIGHT. -dodge right + swing = swing from right side to left, that push enemies to LEFT. Or maybe something like medium attacks (direction+hold attack for half second) So there woudl be Light attack, medium attacks, and heavy attacks. With that you could make an advantage to gather in one ring and then use Charge Attack as finishing move. Dark Messiah of might and magic have that mechanic with directional hit where you can use it to your advantage when fighting against many enemies, for example to not let them attack you in group, or use map environment. All these mechanics in game (I did not read them all of course just basic) gave me 3 years of having fun.
Maybe it was fun, in solo mode. But in normal public missions it was just annoying. Stopping your bullets and someone just enters the area and slash them with melee, making all your work pointless.
For me it's still broken watched almost all day yesterday and today, just got Forma and no teshin statue/sculpture.
Make negative strength build then.
Earlier spores were decaying fast too fast. Miasma helps it a lot Now which is great. But now you made decaying even worst. Earlier 10% per second, now 10% per half second.... this is not good. Makes duration even less needed because the difference between 100% duration and 150% duration is too low. With Miasma spreading spores, the old decaying would be fine. But now it's even worst. Also there sometimes is a problem with lags I guess. 1.Cast spores 2.Kill the target 3.Spores start to decaying, two ticks so you lost already 20% your spore damage. 4.8+ infected enemies 5.???? I cast spores killed the target and spread occur after 1-2 seconds? But thanks to that lost some damage. Spores decaying should have delay if the last spore is removed. 1 sec or 2 second would be great, in case of lags or that enemies aren't spawning in time.
Defense interception ETC. They made it for purpose, but if that little break on 100% duration saryn will drop spore damage to 0 it is just a bad idea.
Make Molt more useful. Molt just draw some fire but that's not enough. The ability is really good if you are using the augment, but itself it's nothing special. On detonation Molt should deal gas damage and have 100% gas status, and some % damage of Molt should add to spores.
Please don't forget that there is a huge problem with 2 or 3 saryns on the same mission. If one Saryn spread spores, other saryns can't spread spores on these enemies. So each Saryn block each other. If enemies can have 3 spores then why not make that each other replaces one spore, so that each Saryn can have at least one spore on all enemies.
SARYN revisited 2.1 To not change too much. Spore damage indicator shows the damage you deal when detonating them, not the damage spores do. 1.Spores deals only 5% damage per second the indicator shows (20 times lower). If they spores chain ends all gathered damage is stored not removed. If player detonates the spores, spores lose half of the damage stored. Meaning that detonating spores now will be good. Spore damage should be capped at 10K (5% from it is 500 damage per second for spores). Spores can be recasted to another enemies, detonating spores happens by holding "1" (spore ability button). To fix overextended builds being the only real meta, spores should have possibility to spread only to NEW 5 nearest targets (not affected by power strength), meaning that one spore hit will bring maximum of 5 new infected enemies. Overextended builds will be just a nice option. To fix two or three saryn in groups blocking each others, the different saryn spores should replace one of the three spores on each enemy, so all three saryns can spread spores with no problems and they will deal average their damage [(spores+spores+spores) / 3 = average] 2.Molt on detonating add gathered damage to spores counter. Dealing gas damage and have 100% gas status. 3.Toxic Lash stay's the same. 4.Miasma - At first hit after applying Viral status, Miasma deals 100% damage that spores have gathered to all targets, spores are detonated (meaning that targets affected by spores gets double gathered damage). After detonating spores, stored damage is halved. What the change bring: 1. Spores no longer deals massive damage, without detonating them. Spores damage can be stored, not losing them if all spores disappear. 4.After built damage in spores, player can use Miasma to convert that damage into miasma damage dealing 100% damage and double damage to enemies that have spores. Miasma is the main ability to deal the damage. Spores are for building damage for miasma and removing armor. | 2019-04-26T06:37:20 | https://forums.warframe.com/profile/204380-ifritkajitora/ |

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, New York by lead vocalist and guitarist John Rzeznik and bass guitarist and back up vocalist Robby Takac. Since the end of 1994, Mike Malinin has held the lead position of the band's drummer, a position previously held by George Tutuska. Some of their most popular songs include "Iris" and "Slide" from 1998's Dizzy Up The Girl, which produced five top-10 singles, and "Here Is Gone" and "Big Machine" from 2002's Gutterflower. Overall, the Goo Goo Dolls have 17 top-10 singles and have sold nearly 9 million albums in the United States alone.
The Goo Goo Dolls originally consisted of John Rzeznik (vocals, guitar), Robby Takac (vocals, bass guitar) and George Tutuska (drums, percussion). While Takac and Tutuska had been long-time friends in school, Rzeznik was playing in the band The Beaumonts, with Takac’s cousin. The trio picked the current name out of a True Detective ad for a toy called a Goo Goo Doll. "We were young and we were a garage band not trying to get a deal. We had a gig that night and needed a name. It's the best we came up with, and for some reason it stuck. If I had five more minutes, I definitely would have picked a better name" John stated. With Takac as their lead singer, the band released their first album, Goo Goo Dolls in 1987 on Mercenary Records, but was picked up in 1988 by Celluloid Records, a larger record company. The band released its second album, Jed, in 1989 after moving to Los Angeles.
The band released its third album, Hold Me Up, in 1990 and featured Rzeznik as the lead vocalist on five tracks, including the single, "There You Are" -- as well their then concert favorite, Two Days in February. Despite being earlier dismissed as having a sound too similar to The Replacements, as well as being embraced by local college radio and punk scenes (including playing such venues as CBGB), the Goo Goo Dolls' third release had incorporated elements of heavy metal, pop rock, and punk rock. In 1991, the song "I'm Awake Now" was recorded for the soundtrack of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
Superstar Car Wash, released in 1993, received significant media attention. The critical success and encouraging sales of their last album resulted in a larger budget from Metal Blade Records. The album was partially recorded in Metalworks Studio in Mississauga, Ontario, which is where Rush had produced multi-platinum albums. "We Are the Normal" (the single for which Rzeznik asked frontman Paul Westerberg of The Replacements to write the lyrics), received a major push toward play on college and independent radio, while its video was displayed on MTV's 120 Minutes program. "Fallin' Down" made it onto the 1993 soundtrack of Pauly Shore's hit film Son in Law.
Shortly after recording the band's fifth album A Boy Named Goo, George Tutuska left the band. The band moved forward from this December 31, 1994 incident, hiring Mike Malinin in 1995, and toured rigorously.
A Boy Named Goo sold modestly in this time; however, it was not until the release of the single "Name" that the band experienced any viable commercial success. A Boy Named Goo became the first album in Metal Blade history to achieve double-platinum status, also became one of those masterpieces of post-grunge era. This success, however, proved bittersweet, as the band found themselves in a legal battle with Metal Blade records. The band filed suit against Metal Blade, claiming they had not earned any royalties from their album’s sales, which was attributed to a "grossly unfair, one-sided and unenforceable contract" which had been signed by the band in 1987. The two sides reached a settlement which had the band signed to the Metal Blade's distributing label, Warner Bros. Records, under which the band released their sixth album, Dizzy Up the Girl, in 1998. The undisputed success of "Name" marked a fundamental change in the band’s sound toward a more polished, commercial direction. It was "Name" that had made the band popular and they were able to make a guest appearance on 90210 and even present an Award to Michael Jackson.
Rzeznik was approached to write a song for the City of Angels soundtrack, and the end product was "Iris". It is said that he wrote the lyrics in just under five minutes and composed it in about an hour's time. This song propelled the band to stardom, as it stayed on top of Billboard Hot 100 Airplay charts for a record breaking 18 weeks, and was nominated for three Grammys that year. According to interviews with Rzeznik, he was experiencing serious bouts of writer's block when he was approached, and was on the verge of quitting the band days before he wrote the song that would launch the band to worldwide fame.
"Iris" was included on the triple platinum Dizzy Up the Girl, and was among Top-Ten hits "Slide", "Black Balloon", "Broadway", and "Dizzy" from the same album. The new, polished sound garnered legions of new fans, many of whom had not followed the band before their mainstream success. Most of the Goo Goo Dolls concerts feature few, if any, songs the band wrote before 1995, reflecting the band’s more mainstream sound. Although the lyrics to "Black Balloon" are vague and unclear, as this is an essential aspect of Rzeznik's style of writing, the song, according to the lead singer himself, regards drug abuse and the emotional consequences of indulging in them. It is widely believed that the song was written for Robby Takac's wife who was once caught up in drug abuse but who has fully recovered today; both refuse to state who the song is written for or about. In 2001, the Goos released their first ever compilation CD, What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. Next, Gutterflower (2002)—with dark lyrical undertones from Rzeznik's divorce—achieved gold certification, producing the hits "Here Is Gone", "Sympathy", and "Big Machine". On July 4, 2004, the band performed a free concert in their hometown of Buffalo, continuing through a deluge of rain that can be seen on the DVD released later that year. The DVD also contained a studio version of the Goo Goo Dolls' cover of "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp. The single reached the top of the Adult Top 40 chart in 2005.
In 2006, the Goo Goo Dolls marked their 20th anniversary with their new album Let Love In, which included the studio recording of "Give a Little Bit" as well as other top 10 radio singles "Better Days," "Stay With You," and "Let Love In". With their third consecutive single ("Let Love In") from the album, the Goo Goo Dolls hit a record 12 Top 10 hits in Adult Top 40 history, beating Matchbox Twenty and Sheryl Crow until Matchbox Twenty's release of Exile on Mainstream and the Goo Goo Dolls' release of "Before it's too late" from the Transformers Soundtrack, which left both groups with 13 Top 10 hits in the Adult Top 40. Goo Goo Dolls plan to release another single from Let Love In, "Without You Here", as well as a song from the July 2007 Transformers movie called "Before It's Too Late", originally titled "Fiction". To promote the new single, the Goo Goo Dolls performed "Before It's Too Late" at both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 8, 2007, and again at The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 22, 2007. In July 2007 the band discussed their career as a whole and gave a live performance on A&E's Private Sessions. Rzeznik has stated that after the release of "Without You Here" and their summer tour with Lifehouse and Colbie Caillat, the band will return to the studio to begin work on their next album, their ninth overall.
April 13, 1996 and July 4, 2004 were proclaimed "Goo Goo Dolls Day" in their hometown of Buffalo, New York.
On June 27, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls performed to a sold out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The performance premiered on HDNet in high–definition on Sunday, September 30. The entire concert was released as a DVD on the Limited Edition version of their 2008 release, Vol.2.
The Goo Goo Dolls and the NHL Buffalo Sabres came together to create a video for the Sabres 2007 Playoff run. The video was a compilation of shots from the Buffalo area and Sabres players played to the song "Better Days". It was played on jumbotron and at the HSBC Arena before every playoff game.
Though not certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album is said to have gone Gold by various Music sites.
The song "Better Days" was used in the trailer for the 2009 film Love Happens.
On November 13, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls released a greatest hits album entitled Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles, which includes a new version of "Name" and a remix of "Feel the Silence" by Michael Brauer. On August 19, 2008, a second greatest hits album was released entitled Vol.2, which includes b-sides, rarities, and a live performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre from their "Let Love In" tour.
The band performed "Better Days" and "Stay With You" at the halftime of the Detroit Lions' 2007 Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field, which focused on the United Way and the NFL's commitment to youth health and fitness.
The Goo Goo Dolls have announced recording sessions for a new album, on their official website, unrelated to their Volume Two in 2008. In addition, the band performed as part of the O2 Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park in the summer of 2008, at the Miller Lite Rock 'N Racing show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during qualifying for the 2008 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, as well as performing a four show tour across England.
On July 2, 2008, the Goo Goo Dolls released a new single called "Real" to select iTunes stores, while it was released on the AT&T USA Olympic Team soundtrack to the remaining iTunes stores on August 8, 2008, coinciding with the start of the Beijing Olympics. "Real" is also the theme song for World Wrestling Entertainment's "Tribute to the Troops 2008". | 2019-04-19T14:37:04 | http://www.dmuzic.com/goo-goo-dolls/57/biography/ |
Also known as "Hoosier Pie," Crazy Good Sugar Cream Pie is one of the best cream pie recipes (if not the best) that you'll ever taste. Everyone should try this pie at least once in their life. It has a simple, yet pleasing, sugar and vanilla flavor that's unlike anything you've ever tasted before. While you may be intimidated by the thought of whipping up a cream pie, this one is one of the simplest you could ever make. All you need are seven ingredients, one of them being a store-bought refrigerated pie crust. After one bite of this pie, you'll want to make it again and again.
Can I use wheat flour in this recipe, or does it work best with the white flour? I have never made a pie like this one, but it sounds so delicious. I love it. My mom made a custard pie that has these ingredients. I bet it is very similar to her recipe. I will have to get her to make one and I will make this and we can have a taste testing party. Sounds like a fun time, thanks!
Although this is a little too sweet for my taste everyone else in our family tucked in with gusto and then asked when we will be having it again, lol! The kidlets and their Dad all had a scoop of ice cream with it and declared it quite possibly the best dessert ever so it seems that it has become a family favorite! | 2019-04-23T12:01:39 | https://www.thebestdessertrecipes.com/Recipes-for-Pies/Crazy-Good-Sugar-Cream-Pie |
This report presents findings from the conceptualization, design, development, and field-testing of Portable Wordplay, two digital games and related curricular materials for middle grade classrooms. The games and materials were designed to support the growth of students’ knowledge of multiple meaning, high frequency academic vocabulary. The goal of the Portable Wordplay project was to demonstrate how digital games can create opportunities for students who are struggling academically to interact as peers with their higher-achieving classmates, while all students are building and refining core literacy skills. | 2019-04-21T20:02:03 | http://ltd.edc.org/resource-library/portable-wordplay-final-report |
PATRONS ARE DRIVEN FROM HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN HELENA BY FIRE.
Smoke and flames from a basement fire spread upwards through a large partition wall this afternoon, driving patrons from the four-story Harvey hotel in downtown Helena. All available city firemen and police were called on duty in the battle to control the unseen flames.
BLAIR BRACKEN, bell hop and ROGER PORTER, nearby garage owner, made their way through the thick smoke in the upper three stories in a room by room check to make sure that all patrons of the hotel were out of possible danger.
They were unable to check one room, No. 327, because of the thick smoke. All in that room was MIKE H. McLAUGHLIN, retired liquor warehouse employe.
McLAUGHLIN was brought to safety by firemen who went over the top of the EDDY bakery, across the alley on a roof and into the annex. McLAUGHLIN was sticking his head out of his annex room window to get air.
McLAUGHLIN said he discovered the smoke shortly after 2 o'clock, shut his transom and decided to wait and see what happened. The thick smoke trapped him in his room.
Fire Chief JOE MUNGER and his men were attacking the unseen fire from both front and rear of the 83-room hotel. MUNGER and one crew were working forward in an underground tunnel under the one story cafe-annex which appeared to be the starting point of the fire.
Other firemen were shooting water into the unoccupied cafe front.
In the lobby of the hotel, smoke was emitting from every crack and crevice in the south wall. Light fixtures, the drinking fountain, doorways and floor edges were shrouded with thick smoke.
The fire alarm was turned in at 1:45 o'clock by MRS. ORA RUSSELL, day clerk, after NADA BERKLAND, employe of the Merle Norman studio which has offices in the lobby, opened a basement door and saw smoke rushing up the stairway.
MRS. RUSSELL said she had thought she smelled smoke about noon and sent BRACKEN to check the basement.
"I checked over the entire basement and could not see or smell any sign of smoke," BRACKEN explained, his eyes red from a rapid check through the smoke-filled rooms.
"The higher you go in the hotel the thicker the smoke gets. It's pretty bad near the top floor."
BRACKEN and PORTER were unable to get above the first floor in their first try. The second time they obtained pass keys and started their check.
Immediately after the fire report was telephoned, MRS. RUSSELL started a telephone check of the rooms to arouse the 42 patrons.
"Six or seven people were warned of the fire by that method," Police Chief JOHN E. FRED said.
Both MUNGER and BOB JOHNSON, son of Owner MRS. A. JOHNSON, said they believed the fire had started at the front of the building in the basement. They placed it as near a ventilating shaft on the cafe side of the basement.
Because of the huge volume of smoke and inability to penetrate it without masks, the firemen were fighting blind, throwing water into areas where the smoke appeared to be thickest.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the ceiling of the adjacent Union Bank and Trust company building took on the appearance of a fog. Upper floor rooms also were filling with smoke.
Firemen were pouring water into the hotel basement and into the rear of the structure in an effort to control the flames. | 2019-04-24T00:00:39 | http://gendisasters.com/montana/9875/helena-mt-harvey-hotel-fire-may-1953 |
Any successful marketer is acutely aware of the importance of getting quality traffic to their web site and how critical this part of their online endeavor is to their overall success. There are numerous ways you can generate traffic to your business opportunity. Some of these methods are ethical and must always be used while other ways are questionable and if used can generate severe consequences from the search engines. Today we want to talk about the correct ways to promote your online business effectively.
Designing a powerful web site and drawing traffic to your site should be the main focus of any web site. Without good quality traffic your business will soon fail. Traffic to your web site is just as important to your online success, just as food is to your body so you can function each day of your life. A body can only survive a few days without food. So it is with traffic to your web site. Without traffic your business will die.
If your body is starved of food you will soon die. If your web site is starving for traffic, your business will likewise end up dying an agonizing death. So what is the answer then? If you plan early on in your marketing career that part of each and every day must be devoted to generating traffic by using the phone, emails, writing articles, running banner ads and the list can go on and on. If you fail to plan your future with online marketing then your business is dead already anyway. The key here is to be consistent with your planning, advertising efforts and marketing so the traffic will consistently build to a point where you will start making sales. That's what it's all about.
Many site owners will spend an incredible amount of money to build a fancy site with all the bells and whistles, post the site online and expect the masses to visit their site and just assume they are going to make a fortune. It's not going to happen that way, believe me. It's going to take a lot of hard work to make this gig happen. You may spend the next six months working your buns off and never see a sale. Only the strong will survive in this business. If you're not committed to hard work and spending countless hours promoting your business then you might as well hang it up right now.
If your site is constructed correctly with the proper search engine optimization in your title, Meta description and keywords you will be blessed with the search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and other fine search engines placing your site high in the engine rankings and this will help your business grow consistently . If you rely strictly on the traffic the search engines send you, then you're going to fail for sure.
It's going to take a well balanced blend of planning, advertising, search engine optimization and consistency plus a lot of hard work for you to succeed in this competitive business called the internet. This whole experience is an ongoing learning process that never quits. When you think you know it all that's when you're going to soon find out how little that you really know. Don't be afraid to try new things as you go along. You might accidently stumble onto something that just works and you may not even know how it all evolved. It really doesn't matter how it happened, just go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
Abusing the system will kill your chances of success rather quickly. Study and understand the rules, regulations and algorithms of the search engines and always stay within the engines boundaries. If the guidelines say that you should use no more than 60 characters in your title then by all means do what it says. The same is true with your Meta description and keyword character counts as well as good relevant content.
One example of abusing the system is the use of the same keyword repeatedly. Using the same keyword over and over again will not get your site listed with the engines any quicker. In fact the search engines will penalize you for this action and in some cases will not come back to your site and in other cases ban your site from the internet. Understand the rules and guidelines and follow the engines established algorithms and the search engines will reward you with laser focused traffic to your web site.
Using keywords in your source code that does not appear in your web sites content can get you in trouble pretty quick. Don't become paranoid about this, but always be on the cautious side with usage of your keywords. The Google Keyword tool is a great source for compiling your keyword list. Many times you'll spend more time in choosing your keywords than you'll spend on constructing your entire web site. Don't get discouraged here, this is just part of the process of learning to do it right.
Keyword stuffing and spam are considered by the search engines as absolutely not acceptable. So don't try to fool the engines by doing either of these questionable tactics.
Be very careful about using content that you've stolen from other web sites. This is called stealing regardless of how you look at it. It's OK to review your competitions site and get some ideas of what they are doing, however, don't get caught plagiarizing (and the search engines will catch you) because they have some very sophisticated filters that are designed especially to catch this type of illegal activity. You've been warned.
Avoid hidden text at all cost. Hidden text is when you make the font of your site the same color as the background of your web site. All text must be visible to the user. Since the search engines read text, the engines will catch you quickly and impose some drastic penalties even to the point of banning your site. Don't take any chances with this questionable tactic. Research these ideas thoroughly and follow good business ethics and you should get along just fine.
The font size in your site is also important. The acceptable font size is H1 - H6 or font size 1 to font size 6. Never use all caps. If you use this size recommendation you should be OK in most instances. Each search engine has a bit different algorithm so you should study the differences early on in your career and adjust your work accordingly.
Always keep in mind that you only have one chance to make a good first impression so make sure you know what you're doing or get some help from a search engine optimization professional. If you're intent is to make money online then learn the process correctly and do it right from the get go of your online venture. Just remember, there are no shortcuts to online marketing success. It's a well designed, calculated, challenging venture that only you can make happen.

Today I thought I would share my recent 9mm interview with a ‘cool Canadian crime’ writer, award-winning thriller novelist Rick Mofina, who grew up in Bellevue, Ontario and now lives in Ottawa, but has travelled the world in between as part of his pre-novelist life as a journalist. As his website bio says, his freelance crime stories have appeared around the world in such publications as The New York Times, Reader’s Digest, Marie Claire, The South China Morning Post magazine and The Moscow Times. He’s also written for the UK’s Sunday Telegraph. His reporting has put him face-to-face with murderers on death row in Montana and Texas. He covered a horrific serial killing case in California, an armored car heist in Las Vegas, the murders of police officers in Alberta, flown over Los Angeles with the LAPD, and gone on patrol with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police near the Arctic. He has reported from the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East.
Mofina has written 11 thrillers since his debut IF ANGELS FALL in 2000, has won and been shortlisted for several prestigious awards, received high praise from his peers, like Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and Jeffery Deaver, and is a popular panellist at various crime writing conventions. Having kept an eye on some awards lists over the years, I had heard of Mofina, but until recently hadn’t read any of his work.
Canadian crime writers, like their New Zealand and Australian counterparts, are often a little harder to find in overseas markets, no matter how good the quality of their writing and storytelling. Having spent time in Canada in 2008, I know that there are many great crime writers there that I struggle to find on booksellers’ shelves down this way, just as the opposite is true too (ie Kiwi crime writers will be hard to find in Canadian bookstores).
Fortunately, some of Mofina’s books have recently been released in New Zealand, and last week I read his first ‘Jason Wade’ tale, THE DYING HOUR. I picked this up at lunchtime on Wednesday, and ended up finishing it by the next day, immediately picking up the next Wade tale, EVERY FEAR, and reading all of that before Friday morning as well. So the phrases ‘page-turner’ and ‘gripping’ will certainly be top of mind when I write some reviews.
You can read more about Rick Mofina and his books at his website here, and at the Crime Writers of Canada website here.
But for now, Rick Mofina stares down the barrel of 9mm.
Who is your favourite recurring crime fiction hero/detective?Well, he's not recurring, but I am fond of Kinderman, the Washington, D.C., detective William Peter Blatty created in The Exorcist, who re-appeared in Legion. Too many people overlook the masterful job Blatty did in breathing life into that guy, who afterall was chasing the greatest villain of all time.
Paddle To The Sea, a children's adventure because took my imagination hostage. I think it was a masterpiece.
I was a fulltime journalist at a newspaper. I sold freelance true-crime stories to The New York Times, Reader's Digest, Penthouse and The South China Morning Post. I also wrote a few short stories.
Kick back and watch movies. I love having a story unfold before my eyes. I am a sucker for 1950s Sci-Fi classics, like THEM!
Visiting the original jail where they used to hang criminals. It's now a youth hostel in downtown Ottawa, Canada.
If your life was a movie, which actor could you see playing you?Ethan Hawke.
All of them because I love them all equally.
I was with my, wife, our son and daughter when we walked into a big chain books store and saw it on the shelf. It was quiet moving, we all just sort of stood there because well my mother had passed away only a short time before. She never saw the first one, or an advance copy. So seeing it there, took me back to when I was a kid and she'd encouraged me to write, bought me my first typewriter, a portable manual Royal.
This young man came up to me at my signing table and wanted a signed book to his wife, but wanted me to write: "I'm so sorry for making you mad and and I hope you --"I stopped before I started and said, "I'll sign it and you can make the apologies."
Thank you Rick Mofina. We really appreciate you taking the time to talk with Crime Watch.
So what do you think of this 9mm interview? Have you read any of Rick Mofina’s books? The Jason Wade series? Tom Reed/Walt Sydowski series (Mofina’s first five books)? The new Jack Gannon series? What do you think? What do you think of Canadian-written crime in general? Which cool Canadian crime writers would you recommend? Thoughts and comments welcome.
Craig - Thanks so much for this interview. I have to agree with Rick Mofina that Blatty did a great job creating Kinderman. The rest of the interview was enjoyable, too. | 2019-04-21T15:03:21 | https://kiwicrime.blogspot.com/2010/09/welcome-to-latest-instalment-in-crime.html |
Considering that the average American will over the course of a lifetime walk about 115,000 miles, or the equivalent of about four laps around the Earth, it is no wonder that three-quarters of us will experience at least one foot problem somewhere along the journey.
That’s a heavy load to put on a couple of complicated structures that house 52 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and assorted tendons.
But it is a load new The Dalles foot and ankle specialist Joshua Boone, D.P.M., stands ready to lighten.
After completing several years of schooling and training, interrupted by a year-long stint in Iraq, the foot-and-ankle specialist opened his new practice at MCMC | OHSU Orthopedics this August and hit the ground running. Pun intended.
The northern Arizona native says he was attracted to The Dalles because it felt a lot like home.
The opportunity to affiliate with a hospital and work alongside orthopedic specialists Drs. Bruce and John Schwartz and Jenn Van Atta, PA-C, also contributed significantly to the appeal, he adds.
Joshua Boone, D.P.M. earned his bachelor’s degree from Northern Arizona University. However, before graduating, the aspiring doctor and sergeant with the U.S. Army National Guard Transportation Unit was in 2003 deployed to Iraq, where he served as a truck driver.
After his service, Joshua Boone, D.P.M. completed his undergraduate degree then earned his doctor of podiatric medicine degree from Midwestern University in Glendale, Ariz., where he graduated at the top of his class.
He was then accepted into one of the top surgical residencies in the country, Scripps-Mercy Hospital & Trauma Center in San Diego. He rotated through several different hospitals and numerous surgery centers becoming proficient in foot and ankle surgery.
Following his years in San Diego, Joshua Boone, D.P.M. was accepted for advanced training at the Sacramento Kaiser Surgery Program, where he received additional training in foot and ankle surgery.
Sports injuries, fractures, sprains and foot problems related to diabetes are among the most common conditions he sees, but his expertise covers many others, including ankle/foot fractures, sprains and arthritis; bunions and hammer toes; chronic joint pain; diabetic limb salvage; flatfeet/high-arch feet; ingrown toenails; infections; nerve problems/neuromas; tendon problems and surgery of the foot and ankle.
Joshua Boone, D.P.M. sees patients of all ages.
“It’s a very diverse specialty, and I really enjoy it because people often leave my office feeling better than they did when they came in. That’s very rewarding,” he says.
Dr. Joshua Boone is now seeing accepting new patients. To make an appointment, call MCMC | Orthopedics at Water’s Edge, 541-506-6500. | 2019-04-18T18:20:20 | https://www.mcmc.net/latest-news/2016/february/keeping-the-gorge-on-their-feet/ |

It's cold outside but you want to go out for a bike ride nevertheless? Then a cycling jacket for winter will be a good choice for you! Special thermal jackets keep you warm in low temperatures and protect you from cold draughts. An insulation offers additional, effective protection from the cold. In this buyer's guide, we will show you what to pay attention to when buying an insulated cycling jacket.
We stock a wide range of women's and men's thermal jackets in all common sizes and colours by renowned brands like JACK WOLFSKIN, VAUDE, ALÉ, GORE WEAR, MAVIC, NALINI, GONSO, assos, ENDURA and ROSE.
Cold draughts make you feel uncomfortable on every bike tour. Therefore, you should make sure your new cycling jacket is made of a material that provides sufficient protection from wind. Ideally, you choose a windproof jacket that comes with a membrane. This microporous protective layer inside the fabric stops wind from passing through the cycling jacket, thus preventing wind chill. With increasing wind speed, the wind chill effect makes the air temperature feel colder than it actually is. An air temperature of 5°C for instance may feel like -18°C for the body at moderate wind speeds. Windproof membranes can be found in softshell jackets as well as in winter jackets and protect you from draughts and wind chill. Some popular windproof membranes are for instance GORE WINDSTOPPER, WINDTEX by ALÉ, WINDPROOF by VAUDE and STORMLOCK by JACK WOLFSKIN.
Waterproof membranes – act against rain!
When riding on stormy days and through one or more rain showers, you should make sure your thermal cycling jacket is well protected against rain and wheel spray. Rain jackets either feature a water-repellent surface coating or a microporous membrane that is laminated to the other layers of the garment to stop water from penetrating.
A waterproof membrane is a thin protective layer integrated in the fabric of your jacket. Thanks to microscopically small perforations, rain drops cannot pass through the layer, so that the cycling jacket will keep you dry. Besides, these perforations offer great breathability, as they allow excess moisture from sweat pass through the microscopic perforations for evaporation. Thus, a waterproof membrane keeps rain outside, while ensuring high breathability for a good body climate. Some popular waterproof membranes are GORE-TEX, CEPLEX by VAUDE and TEXAPORE by JACK WOLFSKIN.
A water-resistant surface treatment withstands less water than waterproof membranes. After a while or in heavy rain, water might break though the coating. That's why a water-repellent surface treatment rather is a good choice when riding in light rain and needing protection from wheel spray. For heavy rain though, a rain jacket with a waterproof membrane might be a better choice.
Softshell is becoming increasingly popular. The material is very elastic, comes with a windproof membrane like GORE WINDSTOPPER, protects from light rain and spray, feels pleasantly soft on the skin and follows all your movements. The perfect combination for daily commutes and weekend tours!
However, please keep in mind that softshell jackets are only water-resistant, which means that they 'merely' protect you from light rain and wheel spray. For a wider choice of softshell jackets see here.
For especially cold days, thermal cycling jackets often have an insulation to keep you warm. This insulating layer either consists of feathers and down, like in down jackets or down gilets, or of synthetic fibres such as Primaloft (made of polyester). Synthetic insulation jackets are becoming more and more popular.
A classic down insulation offers the perfect combination of packability and protection against cold. The higher the fill power of the down layer, the higher the insulating capabilities. The only disadvantage of down is that you need to be careful when washing them and that they lose their insulating capabilities when wet.
A synthetic insulation on the contrary is much easier to wash and still insulating when wet. Synthetic fibres have a similar fill power, are lightweight, and highly packable – yet, they offer slightly less insulation than down.
We offer a huge range of down jackets and winter jackets with synthetic insulation.
Hood: If you use your bike for daily commutes, we recommend choosing a winter jacket with hood. The hood of an outdoor jacket protects the sensitive areas around your head from cold weather, wind chill, wind and rain. Winter jackets for cyclists who are rather outside in nature to do sports and always wear a helmet usually don't have a hood but a high stand-up collar to protect your neck.
Fleece: A warm and soft lining is a good choice for cold days. A popular material for a lining is fleece, as it retains heat very well while feeling pleasantly soft on the skin. Therefore, many winter jackets feature a fleece lining.
Reflective elements: When regularly riding on public roads in twilight or darkness, your thermal jacket should have large reflective elements. Thus, other road users will see you earlier. Ideally, your sport jacket comes in bright hi-vis colours for best visibility. This is where you will find our hi-vis jackets.
These practical tips will help you find a great companion for riding through the winter. If you don't know which thermal cycling jacket is best for you, our experts will be happy to help. Just give us a call or write an email! | 2019-04-25T04:27:45 | https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/clothing/cycling-clothing/cycling-jackets-and-gilets/thermal-cycling-jackets |
From Burkina Faso to Vietnam, Kyla Hunter has been all over the world with her family of four. Kyla believes in giving her kids the gift of authentic cultural experiences, whether they’re exploring faraway places or their own backyard. Read on to learn more about where they’ve been, where they want to go, and Kyla’s best advice for traveling with kids.
A 6-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl.
TELL US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
We are a Canadian family of four: Randy, Kyla, Calais and Kacela. Calais is 6 years old and Kacela is 5 years old.
We live in a smallish town named Grande Prairie, in Northern Alberta, Canada. I’m an optometrist with my own practice and two very understanding business partners. Randy owns his own financial consulting company.
Our travel style is off the beaten path and on a budget. I often find that the less money we spend while traveling, the better our cultural experience. Typically, the cheaper way to travel is the most local way to travel as well.
OUT OF ALL THE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN WITH YOUR FAMILY, WHICH HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE?
My favourite destination with the kids so far was Vietnam. The food was delicious, the scenery was amazing and it was relatively easy to get around. The people were so welcoming and just loved our girls! It was the first time we really experienced how much traveling with kids provides a connection to the locals that we just don’t get as adult travelers.
I often find the less money we spend while traveling, the better the cultural experience.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE YOU'VE HAD WITH YOUR KIDS?
My favourite travel experience has been visiting the Tata Somba houses (traditional mud houses) in Northern Benin. The Tata Somba houses are slowly being replaced with more modern houses, and the tradition is fading away. It was amazing to see these houses in a location where they’re still thriving, but it’s sad to think that by the time my kids are older they may be gone. I’m glad my kids had the opportunity to see them while they still could.
YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN TO SO MANY PLACES! WHAT'S NEXT ON YOUR FAMILY'S TRAVEL BUCKET LIST?
We have a very long bucket list! The pyramids in Egypt and Lalibela in Ethiopia are both pretty high up there. The top of Kacela’s list is Bali, and the top of Calais’ list is Antarctica!
We document our travels on our blog and YouTube channel. I view the blog as my travel journal, and the YouTube videos as the “new family home video” — it’s just better, because they’re edited!
Travel brings us closer together as a family and provides uninterrupted, quality time together.
There are so many different reasons we travel with our kids, beyond just our love of travel. Travel brings us closer as a family and provides uninterrupted, quality time together. It also exposes our children to the world, providing a real understanding of just how lucky we are, and helping them better realize that minor First World problems are just that.
My favourite travel memory from my childhood is riding the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. It’s something we did quite frequently when we went to visit my grandparents. The ferry ride in itself was always an adventure, with the sea air, spotting marine life and eating fries with gravy (a family tradition). It also represented anticipation; it was the end of the long car ride and meant we were almost there. Victoria was the first city I really visited as a tourist and was an integral part in developing my wanderlust.
One nugget of advice I have for other traveling parents is to pace yourself. Traveling with kids is rewarding, but also exhausting! Don’t feel like you have to do it all, and be prepared to leave something out if everyone’s tired. It’s better to do a few fun, meaningful activities, rather than lots of activities with everyone cranky and tired which is not enjoyable for anyone.
It’s not really a travel quote, but it’s one that we travel by: “Just do it.” Travel with kids isn’t always easy, and sometimes, can be outright daunting. But we tell ourselves to “just do it,” and haven’t regretted it yet! | 2019-04-22T08:45:09 | https://nugget.travel/blog/contributor-spotlight-kyla-hunter/ |
