Earlier this week I reviewed the Precision Pro mousepad from Revoltec and today I'm going to take a closer look at the Revoltec Gamepad Precision Advanced mousepad. The mousepad is made out of plastic and is designed to assure very precise movements in all directions at all times, while reducing friction resistance to a minimum.
Revoltec is a German brand owned by Listan. This company isn't really well known but you may already have heard from their be quiet! brand which ships silent power supplies.
Inside is the Precision Advanced mousepad. It's made out of black plastic and features a Revoltec logo in the bottom right corner. The mousepad is pretty big compared to regular-sized mousepads. It's 4.4cm wider and has 4cm more depth compared to the Revoltec Precision Pro mousepad. But it's only 1.5mm thin.
Revoltec also includes a piece of glide tape. You can cut some pieces of this tape and attach it to the pads on your pads, this will reduce friction and make your mouse glide more easily over the mousepad.
If the pad accidentally gets dirty it should be pretty easy to clean, it's made out of plastic so you can just wash off the dirt with some water.
The underside of the mousepad has dozens of tiny rubber bubbles to prevent the mousepad from slipping away on your desk.
I tested this mousepad with my Logitech MX1000 Laser mouse and couldn't find any problems. The tracking and accuracy were great.
While the Gamepad Precision Advanced doesn't ship with fancy extras like a LAN carrying bag, it performs just as good as the Precision Pro mousepad. It's a fairly big mousepad with a nice design. And one of the great things is that it can be found really cheap. In the U.S. you can buy it at Newegg for only $9.99 and in Europe it can be found for as low as 7.80EUR at a German webstore. That's a bargain for a good mousepad like this one.
- Good surface for great accuracy and tracking.
- Hard to find in some countries.
I give the Revoltec Gamepad Precision Advanced a 9/10 and our Seal of Approval award. | 2019-04-22T10:17:51 | https://www.dvhardware.net/review101_precision_advanced.html |

Barisons Singers was asked to perform in the world premiere of James Brett’s The Book Of Dreams, accompanied by the London Metropolitan Orchestra.
James Brett is a British TV and Film composer and has worked on such films as X-Men, The Iron Giant, Event Horizon and What Dreams May Come as well as the 2001 epic miniseries Band of Brothers by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
The Book of Dreams is a piece for children’s choir and orchestra. James originally thought of it as a mini film score set in a fantasy world where the children have the chance to play the characters on a musical journey. The story contains everything needed to make this children’s musical successful, a dragon, a desert, a forest and a dwarf.
The story is told through the music and the aim of the lyrics is to give a foundation for the listener to follow the adventure to the faraway places within the story.
The Orchestra that performed the music was the London Metropolitan Orchestra conducted by Andrew Brown. This is one of Britain’s leading Film and Television Orchestras with over 200 soundtracks and CDs to their name. They have worked for all the major Hollywood studios, and composers such as Michael Kamen, Elliott Goldenthal and Danny Elfman.
Film soundtracks include Reign of Fire, About the Boy, The Count of Mounte Cristo, Rug rats in Paris, Hilary and Jackie, Mr Holland’s Opus and more.
Their television soundtracks include Steven Spielberg’s Band of Brothers, Inspector Morse and Danziel and Pascoe, and they have recorded and performed with artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Annie Lenox, Sting, Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, Jon Bon Jovi, Nigel Kenedy, Paul McCartney and Sir Cliff Richard.
With this in mind, it was a fantastic opportunity for the members of Barisons Singers to work with such a respected orchestra and conductor. Both James and Andrew came to rehearse the choir before hand and I think they were delighted with the progress our choir made. With little rehearsal time our choir completed the whole work just in time for one last run through on the day, and a performance in the evening. | 2019-04-22T08:04:40 | http://www.barisonschamberchoir.com/index.php/james-bretts-the-book-of-dreams/ |

Levi’s has launched its second capsule collection with music superstar Justin Timberlake.
Dubbed, “Fresh Leaves”, the duo’s spring/summer 2019 line takes inspiration from Memphis and its iconic music culture. From graphic tees that reference the Zippin Pippin rollercoaster in the old East End Park, Skateland roller rink, and University of Memphis Tigers Basketball, to Timberlake’s spin on the Trucker jacket paying homage to the music idols who paved the way, the collection is loaded with nostalgic nods to the Memphis of Timberlake’s youth.
At the heart of the collection is the Levi’s 501 Slim Taper in washed black, a carryover from Timberlake’s fall 2018 collection where it was first introduced as an homage to how he wears his jeans on stage. This style also comes in white for a lighter springtime vibe. But the biggest news of all for spring 2019 is the introduction of the Levi’s 502 Taper in faded indigo and solid black —currently the Levi’s brand’s best-selling fit.
The collection also features a range of hoodies and Truckers—several with “Fresh Leaves” sleeve screen prints—a Trucker-hoodie hybrid, graphic tees in short and long-sleeve, and a print short-sleeve button-up.
The collection, which retails between $38 and $148, is now available.
The Zippin Pippin was located at the Fairgrounds, not the East End Park. | 2019-04-24T00:27:12 | https://mr-mag.com/levis-releases-second-justin-timberlake-collaboration/ |
This fan comes with precisely optimised fan blades featuring high air flow and high static pressure but ultra-quiet operation. The newly designed PWM IC, a core part of Silent Pro 14, eliminates any clicking noise of the fan. Additionally, the intelligent GELID PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control unit drives the fan at an extended speed range from 450 RPM to 1500 RPM, it keeps the fan quiet but accelerates the fan speed whenever higher air flow is needed. The Silent Pro 14 uses the same mounting hole form factor as 120mm fans. Therefore it fits most PC cases and CPU coolers on the market. The Silent Pro 14 also comes with a set of special fan mounts made of high quality, temperature resistant, extra long-lasting rubber which helps to stop vibrations of the fan frame from dispersing into your PC case. | 2019-04-26T16:19:46 | https://quietpc.co.uk/gelid-silent14-pro-pwm |
Before you start marketing your business or service, you need to understand what you are marketing – the brand’s message. This refers to the underlying value proposition of your brand. This needs to be inherently clear to customers – they don’t want to search for the reason they should purchase your item/service. What are you offering, and why is it a necessity?
Brand messaging is more complex than you initially think. Lots of businesses start out with brand messages that are sloppy, unclear and full of buzzwords that they think will capture attention. It takes more than that to create a message that sticks with people, that they can easily spread via conversations, and that excites them. Below are some surefire ways to clarify your brand message, and create a personality that resonates with your customers.
The marketplace. You should be looking at competitors in the same landscape as your business or service, understand what their messages are, and developing your own unique proposition – how are you different? Why should people come to you? What does your brand offer that you can’t get elsewhere?
The staff. Many companies miss this step. While customer input is important, it is also important to understand what your staff see as your value proposition. What resonates with them? What is the ‘selling point’ for the brand when promoting it?
Your core message should be a promise to your customers – what you can offer them. This will be a result of your research above. You want to relate to the customer, verbalize your vision, and indicate what your goal is as a company. Take a note from Apple (‘Think Different’) or Subway (‘Eat Fresh’); in a short quip these companies are able to tell an audience how their product is different, why you need it and what they do as a whole. It’s a challenge, so take your time!
Creating your brand message also means identifying your personality. How are you going to communicate to the audience? What tone do you use in your marketing and across your website? What are your voice and style? All of these things will help back up that core message and get the ultimate purpose of your company across to the customer.
Taking the time to understand brand strategy, core message and personality will clarify your brand message and make you more approachable. It also makes your job easier! Once you have a solid brand message, you have a basis for all of your marketing material. Your brand message should be able to be easily communicated in all of you copy. Brand message gives your company direction. If you don’t have a clear, relatable brand message then get to work – this is a vital piece in creating a successful venture.

← How and Why Do Fish School?
This blog post won second place in the 2016 San Mateo County Fair’s Literary Contest for best blog entry!
From the back of the boat, I made a giant stride into the black nighttime water. Underwater, the cumbersome SCUBA equipment strapped to my back was weightless. Warm water crept into my wetsuit. Exhaling, I descended into the pitch black. Pinching my nose and blowing out through it cleared my ears every few feet, and the pain in my ears felt like when ascending in an airplane. Exhaled bubbles surrounded and reassured me. My only lifeline underwater was working properly. I paused to marvel at breathing underwater.
My descent stopped near the bottom of the coral reef. Narrow beams of light danced around as other divers searched for life on the night coral reef. My highlighted view showed motionless fish sleeping. Multi-legged critters scampered out of my light. A hungry moray eel caught an unwary squirrelfish.
Ten minutes of swimming brought me to the “campfire.” Placed in the center of this underwater campfire was a bundle of dive lights so the insects of the sea, tiny plankton, swarmed together. Swarms of plankton attracted various hungry sea animals including fish, and the guests for the night. Divers pointed their lights towards the surface to attract more plankton. Settling down on my knees in the moderate current, plankton surrounded me. Little white dots darted to and fro in front of my dive mask. My dry mouth came from breathing the arid air from my tank and made me cough into my regulator. My eyes watered from the coughing, then cleared. Something emerged in the distance.
From the muted black darkness, and through the backdrop of the bright Hollywood lights of videographers, came an alien behemoth that glided over the all the divers. She was the star attraction for tonight, a manta ray. Her black back with white patches looked spray painted. Her flattened head and head fins swayed in her swim path. Her head fins unfurled to help funnel water into her cavernous mouth.
Her diamond-shaped body measured at least 6 feet across. She flapped her triangular pectoral fins in unison like a bird’s wings. Each powerful flap of her wings sent her flying within inches of divers’ heads.
The manta ray’s black back contrasted with her stark white underbelly. Her belly was full of black splotches. Splotch patterns are as unique as a human fingerprint and they allow scientists to identify and name individuals over time. The manta ray I saw was named Shirley. She gracefully flew inches over my head. I was reminded of the opening scene from the original Star Wars movie when an Imperial Star Destroyer appears to fly over the audience’s heads.
We divers are not supposed to hold their breath underwater, but in a briefing on the boat we were told not exhale bubbles directly onto a manta ray. I unconsciously held my breath as having Shirley so close to me took my breath away. I looked straight into one of Shirley’s eyes. They reflected such depth and soul that I couldn’t help but feel a deep connection with this alien being. It was like looking into a mammal’s eyes. Only manta rays are fish. They have the largest brain of any fish in the ocean, and a similar brain to body ratio as mammals. There is no doubt in my mind that manta rays are thinking beings. What they are thinking is a mystery to us humans though.
With her mouth agape, Shirley’s wide throat was visible. Her gills reverberated from the passage of water through them. A manta ray’s gills not only extract oxygen from the water around them, but also extract food like plankton. She closed her mouth periodically, presumably to swallow the plethora of plankton caught in her gill rakers.
I watched in awe as Shirley did loop de loops to gather plankton. The barrel rolls that manta rays perform are a magnificent underwater ballet. They are elegant and graceful. I could watch them for hours barrel rolling.
Later, another manta ray showed up. His name was Uhane Nui, which means “Great Spirit” in Hawaiian. Estimates placed his wingspan at eight feet across. Manta rays are the largest rays in the ocean. This one was huge. Shirley stayed in the lights, but Uhane Nui faded into the darkness and emerged from the bright videographer lights. Each appearance was a surprise and delight. The manta rays could come within inches of the divers and never bump into them. They could turn on a dime.
That magical night off of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii was my first encounter with manta rays. Upon arriving home, I devoured all the information I could find about them. I was dismayed to find out manta rays are killed when they get stuck in fishermen’s nets. Historically, fishermen would exact revenge on any manta rays that got stuck in their fishing nets and kill them.
I was later horrified to learn that today manta rays are now being targeted by fishermen. I got involved in the fight for California to ban the sale, trade and possession of shark fins. Now, much like sharks being targeted only for their fins, manta rays are now being hunted solely for their gill rakers. Gill rakers are used in controversial new formulas of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Often those hunting for shark fins will fin a shark alive and toss it back into the ocean to die a slow and agonizing death. Similarly, those hunting manta rays will kill them, cut out the gill rakers, and throw out the rest of the manta ray. Killing them that way is inhumane and wasteful.
A live manta ray is worth more alive than dead. Experts estimate a manta ray is worth one million USD over its lifetime due to ecotourism, but worth only five hundred USD when dead. Globally manta ray tourism is estimated to be 100 million USD annually. I’m hooked on SCUBA diving with manta rays-I will add to that total!

© 2017 IEEE. In this paper, a novel approach to online multi-object tracking is proposed via Labeled Random Finite Sets (RFS) combined with appearance learning. The Labeled RFS formulation of the multi-object state naturally accommodates a time-varying number of objects, track labels, and false positive rejection in a single Bayesian framework. The proposed algorithm exploits appearance feature information for the purpose of learning an object's appearance model, and uses this additional information in the construction an augmented likelihood which improves performance and facilitates track re-initialization. This approach enhances the baseline tracking algorithm and shows better performance with respect to mis-detections, occlusions and false track rejection. Competitive tracking results are shown compared to state-of-the-art algorithms on PETS benchmark video datasets.

They say that every architect should have designed a chair at least once in his life. Carlo Bartoli has already made more than a hundred and so he has gathered quite a bit of experience. Acquainted with user’ needs, he is a professional when it come to designing for economical batch production. “Breeze” chair is convincing proof of the fact.
Designed for batch production, Breeze is a convincing proof that good products last over the decades. First released on 1995 and still up-to-date, it has been awarded several prizes and has sold over a million pieces, supplied for the most demanding contract uses, naval included.
The seat and backrest come now in a total of fourteen recyclable polypropylene colours, to be matched with the various versions of the aluminium frame: anodised or satin or matt black, and white, black, mustard and beige lacquered.
Breeze can be used both indoors and outdoor, may be stacked up to thirteen pieces on floor and up to twenty on trolley, and complies with the highest standards of the EN and ANSI-BIFMA tests.
At the end of its useful life, the materials contained in Breeze are separable, hence easy to dispose of. This is all tanks to the fact that the design uses a mere eight parts which, simply plugged and screwed together, produce a modular result that is assembled in no time. | 2019-04-25T00:15:39 | http://www.bartolidesign.it/?avada_portfolio=breeze |

French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has admitted in a newspaper interview that he made errors and was misunderstood in his management of a hotly contested youth labour law that has sent students and unions into the streets in violent protests.
De Villepin denied, however, that he has been disavowed by President Jacques Chirac, who has ordered up a new, softer version of the law in a bid to buy social peace that, instead, appears to have fed opponents’ ardor. Unions and students looked to a new day of strikes and protests set for Tuesday.
After triggering strikes and protests, the law appears to be taking a toll on De Villepin. He was dealt a further blow with the decision, announced on Saturday, to place the new measure in the hands of Parliament—not the government.
De Villepin was criticised for being intransigent in insisting on keeping the law, which is aimed at encouraging companies to hire youths under 26 by making it easier to fire them.
“There is misunderstanding and incomprehension about the direction of my action.
The interview was conducted on Friday night, after Chirac spoke. It was made available on Saturday night.
A poll by the CSA firm published on Saturday showed that 72% of the French were not convinced by Chirac, and 75% said De Villepin was weakened by the crisis.
In an apparent bid to save face for the government, Chirac said he would sign the current measure into law—likely to happen on Sunday. However, his demand for a new text modifying two key points effectively suspends it. That decision gave a boost to Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, De Villepin’s party rival, who had called for the measure’s suspension.
Sarkozy’s entourage made clear on Saturday that he would play an active role in devising a new law. France-2 television quoted his entourage as saying he had begun making contacts with unions.
Sarkozy and others called on Saturday for dialogue with unions and students so that a new text could be written.
“All those who truly want dialogue seize the hand of dialogue,” Sarkozy said after a meeting of key ministers and governing party leaders with De Villepin.
However, there were no signs of a crack in the firm opposition to the law that has spread from students to trade unions and the political left and crippled dozens of universities and high schools with strikes and blockades. Even some members of the governing UMP party remained critical.
In a national television address on Friday night, Chirac offered to modify two key elements of the law, reducing a trial period from two years to one and requiring employers to provide an explanation if an employee is fired.
But the bid by Chirac to defuse an escalating crisis over the law only fanned opponents’ discontent.
The opposition Socialists promised a counterproposal—a Bill to repeal the law—while unions and students planned new strikes and protests on Tuesday.
Bernard Accoyer, leader of the governing Union for a Popular Movement, or UMP, in the National Assembly, said he and the Senate leader for UMP will write the new Bill. Like Sarkozy, he called for dialogue so the new text could be debated “as soon as possible”.
“We will do everything to open a dialogue, an exchange, with all unions, professional groups and youths,” Accoyer said.
Union leader Jean-Claude Mailly, of the Workers’ Force, said he will “not close the door” to talks—if no conditions are attached and if dialogue “could lead to withdrawal” of the contested law.
“So, for the time being, nothing in our position has changed,” Mailly said.
The measure is meant to cut a 22% unemployment rate among youths that reaches 50% in some poor, heavily immigrant neighbourhoods. De Villepin said in the interview that, according to the national statistics agency, it would create up to 80 000 new jobs a year “for a budgetary cost of zero”.
“The road map is clear ... Let us not fool ourselves about the gravity of the situation in our country: the crisis in the suburbs was an alert,” he said referring to unrest last fall among poor suburban youth.
A collective of 11 leftist parties agreed on Saturday to the need to “continue the mobilisation and help amplify the movement to obtain withdrawal of the [law]”.
Unions and students hope to mobilise support against the law in Tuesday demonstrations. A similar protest last Tuesday brought more than one million people into the streets of France.
On Friday, reacting to Chirac’s speech, hundreds of students held spontaneous protest marches through Paris and other cities. | 2019-04-24T02:39:38 | https://mg.co.za/article/2006-04-02-french-labour-debacle-de-villepin-admits-errors |
Vegan Deep Dish Pizza Recipe – 20 min Crust!
Most recipes that end up on the blog usually start as simple meals and then evolve into the fusion or creative versions of themselves. There are various easy vegan pizzas or deep dish pizza recipes on the web, so sometimes the recipe in its simplest form is overlooked. But those simple recipes are the ones that we all turn back to often.
I posted this Black Eyed Pea Lasagna Deep dish pizza, and this Jalapeno Popper Mushroom White Sauce Deep dish long back. Since then I have been making a simple deep dish with pizza sauce, vegan mozzarella(make it at home with cashews or coconut milk, or use vegan brands), red pepper, greens, garlic, loads of herbs, a few ingredients and variations here and there. I made one again the other day and remembered to photograph and note it.
This super easy Deep dish Pizza is saucy, filled with simple ingredients. It comes together quickly and makes for a filling meal. You can fill the pizza with any veggies you like, sauteed mushrooms, sliced veggies, some spiced tempeh crumbles etc. Make a tall Vegan Deep Dish Pizza!
For a video of making and handling the dough to shape, see my basic veggie pizza recipe video. No kneading required! Want to make this gluten-free, try my GF Pizza crust. Shape the crust to slightly less tall, Bake the crust for 10 mins before adding the fillings. Make this Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza!
For more Pizza options, like 25+ Pizzas, and 10+ different crust options (gluten-free, yeast-free etc), see here. If you make any of my pizza recipes, do tag me on Instagram or elsewhere and let me know how things turned out!
Make the dough. Let it sit for 15-20 mins. Meanwhile, cook the red bell pepper spinach garlic filling mix.
Shape the dough in a tall cake pan. I usually use a bit of parchment on the bottom to make it easy to lift the pizza out. Leave the edges without parchment, so the dough can stick and stay upright on the edges.
Add red bell pepper and garlicky greens. or fill it with any other fillings of choice.
Bake at 435 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.
This Recipe is also in my Cookbook Everyday Kitchen! With Vegan Mozzarella Slices Recipe(pg 152). Book Version Pictured Below.
Vegan Deep Dish Pizza Recipe. Easy Deep Dish Pizza with from scratch Crust, red pepper, spinach, vegan mozzarella and basil. Vegan Pizza Recipe with Almost No Knead 20 minute Crust.. Makes 1 tall 8 ot 9 inch tall cake pan, preferably Springform pan.
Mix warm water, yeast and sugar and let sit for a few minutes. Add 1.5 cups flour, salt, semolina flour and oil and mix well with a spoon. You can also add some garlic powder or dried herbs at this point. Add a tbsp or so more flour if needed and mix in. Gather the dough and knead for a few seconds to make a soft dough. Let the dough sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. See <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZl0SESiIIk" target="_blank">this video</a> for mixing and shaping the dough.
Preheat the oven to 435 degrees F(225 deg C).
Layer with vegan mozzarella, pizza sauce, red bell pepper and spinach mixture, other veggies if using. olives, pizza sauce, vegan mozzarella, some fresh basil and red pepper flakes.
Bake at 435 degrees F / 225ºc for 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle some more fresh basil on the pizza. Let the pizza rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
* At Step 3 of making the crust, you can bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes before layering the filling. This will help strengthen the bottom if using heavy filling or moisture leaking veggies/filling. .
Quick Pizza Sauce: Mix tomato puree, salt, pepper, olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder and onion powder. Thin with water if needed, mix and use.

In other news, California bans breeding and captivity of Orcas. CA Governor signed legislation that will outlaw orca breeding and captivity programs like the one formerly run by SeaWorld theme parks.
It is good to be vegan but I have not had a vegan cheese that I like-homemade or otherwise.
let’s tell them to get on this issue!!!
I know right. 🙂 Try make some at home http://www.veganricha.com/?s=mozzarella .
Where did you find the vegan pepperoni? I cant find it, and my 12 yo DGD is craving it.
I you were reading my mind today. I miss having pizza. Is there any sub for the 2 tsp of oil for the crust?
Thank you Richa, I love your recipes!
You can omit the oil. The 1-2 tsp oil is just enough for holding that extra moisture and giving the crust the crunch (which someone who isnt accustomed to eating low or no oil will notice if you cook without the oil). The crust works without the oil too. Use a bit of flour while shaping.
This looks scrumptious! I love your recipes. I have a vegan mozzarella recipe but it doesn’t set up. You have a link to one above but it doesn’t go to a specific recipe, it goes to a search that has six pages of recipes. Do you have a mozzarella recipe that will set so it can be shredded? Thanks!
I use Whole foods Pizza sauce or a quick sauce made with tomato paste + garlic + italian herb blend + a bit of water to thin, mix and use.
Is there a substitute for semolina flour? I have a dozen different flours but no semolina! I’d love to make this tonight!
Oh thank you! I was hoping I could use cornmeal because I love the texture it adds! I’ll let you know!
OMG! We made this for Game day and it turned out so well. I should have made 2 or 3 more!
This has me drooling and ready to try the recipe! This looks like the absolute perfect comfort food! Thanks SO much!
Is the yeast just the packaged stuff? ALSO can you replace the semolina flour?
it is active yeast. You can use fine cornmeal, or whole wheat flour.
Thank you for this recipe, I adapted it into my own. Very east to follow!
Made this last night – REALLY good! Didn’t have all the veg so i used what I had on hand – a courgette (zucchini) that I fried & chopped mushrooms. Will definately do again. Next time I’ll try the home made mozzarella. Thanks for the recipe!
I would parbake and freeze. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, cool completely, add fillings, bake again for 20 minutes. Then cool completely, cover the top with foil or wrap and freeze in airtight container. Thaw slightly and bake for 20 to 30 minutes depending on the depth of the fillings.
I made this recipe tonight…it was very very good! To be honest, I used a different sauce recipe, but the crust and the mixture was delicious.
I wanted to ask about about thickening up the filling some. I used Go Veggie Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and while they did melt in the filling, it just didn’t get real thick. We used a spoon to get it out of the pan. Any suggestions?
Now, I have a suggestion. If using a springform pan, BE SURE to tighten the clasp around the pan bottom!!! Unfortunately, when putting away the leftovers, (half of the pie), the bottom fell out and it went all over the floor 🙁 Thankfully, we had already eaten!!!
Hmm it seems like the sauce or other fillings had excess moisture. That would need additional bake time to bake off and thicken.
With very moist and heavy fillings be sure to bake the crust for 8 minutes before adding them.
The pizza sauce i use is pretty thick. Some marinara or other tomato sauces have watery mixes of tomatoes and sauce which add a lot more moisture to the pie and which can also soak the bottom too much and soften it. what sauces and fillings did you use?
I made the pizza sauce from a recipe on another site ????I used Go Veggie mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The mixture didn’t get real bubbly like I anticipated, but it was still very hot. After sitting for a few minutes it did firm up a bit. But next time I’ll try your sauce recipe…and a different pan!
It was very delicious though. My newest (and only) vegan family member loved it. The crust was really awesome.
Great recipe! However, I’ve tried this twice and my crust just doesn’t get as thick as yours! It’s driving me crazy. I am not sure if this matters, but I am cooking it in a cast iron skillet that is tapered (10.5 inches at the top and 8 at the bottom). I can’t understand what I am dong wrong here but the crust at the top remains somewhat thin.
Awesome! It isnt very thick. The tall springform pan sometimes is a bit tall for the crust to stay up, so i stick it to the top by pulling over the lip. That pulling over makes the egde look thicker from top.
I made this last night for dinner. So good! My husband’s immediate reaction after his first bite was mmmm! Thank you.
This seems delicious. I really want to try this recipe. Richa, will you please explain that can I make this in microwave oven ? And what would be temperature conversion?
Same temp 435 deg F or 225 deg C. if your oven heats up too much, try 25 degrees lower.
This got high marks from all of us, even the non-vegan members of the family! I did add seitan Italian crumbles and some mushrooms. You are, without a doubt, my most trusted recipe source! Thank you!
Awesome!! Yes definitely add whatever other layers you like. Its a basic deep dish to build over. So glad everyone loved it!
I’m very interested in trying this recipe, but I’m confused. It says it makes 4 servings and that each serving is 121kcal, however just the flour is 880kcal. Divided by 4, this is 220kcal. Can you clarify? Thank you!
I’ve made this crust a few times now and it’s very good. I’ve made adjustments so that it’s whole food plant-based by using whole wheat pastry flour and omitting the oil. It’s not quite as fluffy looking as yours but the taste is amazing and it works really well in the springform pan. Thanks for yet another great recipe!
This was just delicious and hit the spot with my husband, myself and a carnivore guest!
Such a great recipe! I love that the crust was ready in 20 mins! My first time making deep dish, and this recipe nailed our craving! Thanks Richa! | 2019-04-19T18:34:19 | https://www.veganricha.com/2016/09/vegan-deep-dish-pizza-recipe.html |
At least six lawmakers Wednesday introduced a legislation in the US Senate to enforce commercial deal with the Chinese company ZTE and sought to reimpose sanctions on it in case of its violation of American laws.
Introduced by a bipartisan group of Senators, the bill seeks to enforce full compliance by ZTE, with all probationary conditions in the Commerce Department's deal to lift the denial order's seven-year ban against the export of US parts and components to the firm.
If the Commerce Secretary cannot regularly certify ZTE's full compliance with the deal and with relevant US export controls and sanctions laws, the denial order's crippling punishments will be reinstated against ZTE, said the legislation introduced by Senators Marco Rubio, Chris Van Hollen, Susan Collins, Mark Warner, James Lankford and Elizabeth Warren.
"With China's communist government posing the greatest, long-term threat to the United States, we must continue to confront ZTE's real risks to our economy and national security," Rubio said.
He said while it was a "mistake" to reach a deal with ZTE, the bill will ensure the firm is finally put out of business if it does not hold up its end of the bargain.
Hollen alleged that ZTE has repeatedly misled federal investigators and violated the US laws, and its behaviour represents a fundamental threat to national security. This bipartisan legislation will hold ZTE's feet to the fire and should be considered without delay, he added.
Alleging that ZTE has violated American sanctions on Iran and North Korea and lied about its efforts to rectify the issue, Collins said the company's disregard for US laws undermines national security interests and cannot be tolerated.
The bill would require the Department of Commerce to monitor ZTE and effectively put it out of business if it was found to be non-compliant, ensuring the safety of our economy and national security, She said.
"ZTE has a history of violating US sanctions and misleading the US government. Unfortunately this administration has shown that it cannot be trusted to defend American interests and punish companies like ZTE that pose a threat to our security," said Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
This bipartisan legislation would ensure that if ZTE once again violates trade restrictions or its agreement with the US, it will be held accountable in a significant, painful way, he said.
ZTE has knowingly violated US sanctions by shipping its goods to North Korea and Iran, alleged Lankford.
Warren said ZTE violated US sanctions laws and must be held accountable.
"Our bipartisan bill will ensure that this Chinese company faces swift and severe penalties if it breaks the law and puts our national security at risk again," she said. | 2019-04-18T13:14:37 | https://www.zeebiz.com/agencies/senators-seek-punishment-if-chinese-firm-zte-violates-us-laws-63783 |
The defectoscope is used for the non-destructive testing of components made of different materials. As well as using optical methods, a defectoscope can detect material defects by means of, for example, ultrasound, eddy current or even magnetic fields. Be it discontinuities, voids, cracks or material inclusions, with the defectoscope these errors can be found and very precisely localized. A determination of the size of the errors is also possible.
The special advantage of the defectoscope lies in the possibility to check components whilst they are installed, even during their operation. Installations do not necessarily have to be taken down, and components can be controlled directly on site, with no need for costly and time-consuming removal work. A defectoscope therefore finds application in a wide range of areas, including e.g. mechanical engineering, pressure vessel construction, pipeline construction, aerospace engineering and rail transport.
PCE-FD 20 is a portable ultrasonic defectoscope with a large LCD screen that displays A-scan maps of ultrasonic signals as well as B-scan cross sections. Ideal for use in mechanical engineering, aerospace and metallurgical applications, this high-frequency ultrasound-based defectoscope uses a contact transducer (two different probes included; 45° and 90°) to measure material thickness and identify flaws and defects such as discontinuity in welds.
PCE-USC 20 is a portable or benchtop ultrasonic defectoscope or ultrasonic thickness gauge with a 5.7" TFT color LCD screen. This ultrasound-based defectoscope uses one or two contact transducers (four different probes included; 90 °, 70 °, 60 °, 45 °) to measure material or wall thickness, detect flaws or defects in welds, and monitor the effects of corrosion on pipes and tanks.
PCE-USC 30 is a defectoscope designed for the non-destructive testing (NDT) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of electrically conductive materials. This portable, handheld defectoscope detects surface defects and measures layer thicknesses using an eddy current. The PCE-USC 30 defectoscope also measures metal conductivity in accordance with the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS). | 2019-04-26T08:30:41 | https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/measuring-instruments/test-meters/defectoscope-kat_162404.htm |

Also participating is previous backers Kleiner Perkins, Credo Ventures, Rockaway Capital, and Reflex Capital. It brings total funding for Productboard to $19.7 million, while I understand from sources that the company’s valuation increased three-fold since the A round and is “close to a 9-digit figure”.
Founded in 2014 by Hubert Palan and Daniel Hejl, Productboard has developed a “product management system” to help companies deliver better experiences for customers, faster. Specifically, the cloud software is designed to bridge the gap between customer feedback and feature requests and a company’s product roadmap, thus doing away with the use of desperate tools such as chat apps, email, spreadsheets and Powerpoint.
“As competition in the digital space heats up, it takes only a couple of years for a great new product to dominate the market, [and] companies realize that their only way of survival is to deliver the right products to market faster than others,” Productboard co-founder and CEO Hubert Palan tells me. “That is why Product management has been increasingly critical and growing role. What was once a job based on simply gathering customer requirements to send to engineering teams has become a much more strategic role, gaining more influence in the C-suite”.
However, in spite of the growing importance of product management — from startups to much larger enterprises — Palan says there hasn’t before existed a dedicated system for product teams to ensure that they’re building the right products. While sales people have Salesforce and marketers have Marketo, he says product managers have traditionally had to use an assortment of Powerpoint, email, Post-It Notes, Slack, and “many other generic task management and engineering tools,” which aren’t really up to the job.
Productboard draws from the so-called “Product Excellence” framework, an approach to product management that emphasizes getting the right products to market faster through “deep user insight, a clear product strategy, and coherent roadmap”. The online software wants serve as the system of record — or “single source of truth” — for all customer insights, strategy, and roadmaps in order to help align everyone on what to build next.
Next product managers can consolidate all ideas, requests, and feedback from various channels, such as Intercom, Zendesk, email, Slack, surveys, CRM systems, NPS tools, etc. into a single repository for user insights. They can also import user research and submit notes from meetings with prospects and customers.
Finally, Palan says they’re able to rally everyone around their plans by creating interactive roadmaps. “They can share different versions with different audiences, and all roadmap versions automatically update as plans evolve,’ he explains. Productboard also integrates with engineering task management systems such as JIRA, PivotalTracker, GitHub, and Trello to support communication between product management and engineering teams.
“Our customers span a broad range of categories and industries including SaaS solutions, e-commerce platforms, medical device manufacturers, academic journals, news outlets, book publishers, on-demand services, and brick and mortar stores transitioning to digital storefronts,” adds Palan.
“Our main users are product management teams encompassing everyone from associate product managers to Chief Product Officers. Many of our users are also user researchers, designers, product marketers, project managers and similar roles, who may not have the title of Product Manager, but lead their company’s efforts to deliver the right products for their customers”.
To that end, Productboard claims 1,600 customers. They include UiPath, Envoy, MetroMile, Houzz, Macmillan, Unity, Twilio, SproutSocial, Avast, BambooHR, and many others. | 2019-04-21T15:05:18 | http://dailytechnologytips.com/2019/02/04/productboard-raises-further-10m-for-its-product-management-system/ |
The new agreement will see the top three male and female winners from each event heading overseas to the sister country, with a lucky random age-group competitor from each event joining them.
Heading to London under the new arrangement this August are 2005 Noosa Triathlon winners, world champion Emma Snowsill (a past winner of the London event) and Chris McCormack.
Mr Peter Beattie also announced the State Government, through its events agency Queensland Events, will continue its long-running support of the Noosa Triathlon for another three years until 2009.
Mr Beattie said by forging a strong relationship with one of the world's top triathlons, the Noosa event has taken a huge leap in its journey to becoming an international favourite.
"From its humble start with just 183 competitors in 1983, the Noosa Tri has developed into a national icon and will now grow its international profile among 10,000 competitors and 150,000 spectators at the London event each year," Mr Beattie said.
Noosa event organiser USM Events' Garth Prowd OAM said the new agreement would give the Noosa Triathlon Multi-Sport Festival access to a huge market and enormous potential for growth.
"As far as triathlons goes, in terms of profile and reputation, it does not get bigger than the London Triathlon - it is a perfect fit with the Noosa Tri and a great opportunity to promote our event and the Noosa region as an international tourism destination," Mr Prowd said.
"We have come a long way in the past 23 years, with year-on-year growth and a sell-out triathlon race, but some of the extended events and celebrations built around the triathlon as part of the multi-sport festival have enormous scope for growth - now the world will find out about them.
"Through the sister arrangement we can promote the Noosa Triathlon during the two-day London Tri and gain access to their valuable corporate and age group competitors which will in turn boost Southeast Queensland's destination and triathlon profile.
"The team at the London Triathlon have been incredibly supportive of the new partnership and I look forward to working closely with them."
London Triathlon Event Director Nick Rusling said the Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon was delighted to be partnering the established and respected Noosa Triathlon.
" We have worked together to create an exciting concept which will help grow the sport in both Australia and the UK, attract an international calibre elite field at each of our events, which will deliver a great race for television," Mr Rusling said.
"We currently have a huge number of foreigners taking part in the London Triathlon, with the Australians leading the way, and this partnership should also help add to the international flavour and fun of the event," he said.
The London Triathlon will be held on August 5-6, 2006. The Noosa Triathlon is the headline event of the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival which takes place on October 25-29, 2006.
This latest development for Noosa is part of Queensland Events' four-year triathlon strategy to position South East Queensland as the leading international hub for the sport. Earlier it was announcement that the Gold Coast will host the 2009 ITU Triathlon World Championships. | 2019-04-22T06:51:03 | https://www.sportcal.com/News/PressReleases/94691?f=s%3A1%2FTriathlon%7C |
The better part of the last decade, women the world over have been cultivating highly customized approaches to mastering air-dried beach waves—with no stone unturned in matters of dry shampoo and salt spray. But, perhaps fatigued with the modern-day Mowgli look, from the red carpet to the street to our Instagram feeds, the penchant for lanky, undone hair is being replaced by a style that looks like it requires major styling but is in fact nearly effortless: the French twist.
Meanwhile, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, those twinning harbingers of all great hair movements, rely on a few bobby pins to keep their messy twists in place. Hairstylist Mark Townsend, who is practically on speed dial for the sisters, sprays pins with dry shampoo (like Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray, Sally Hershberger 24K’s Supreme Stylist Voluminous Dry Shampoo, or Dove’s Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo) before sliding them into the hair for maximized hold without being overworked. “Mary-Kate instilled in me that if it takes more than five hairpins, it’s too done,” says Townsend of his less-is-more approach. “The Olsens want their hair to look effortless, like it could fall down at any second, but it does take some work to lock in,” explains Townsend. | 2019-04-25T14:50:19 | https://www.vogue.com/article/return-of-the-french-twist-from-mary-kate-ashley-olsen-to-instagram |
In class today I decided to prepare 5th grade for a painting project that will focus on having figures in their picture. The website below was a great way to show them visually the basic shapes of a skeleton and how to draw the basic structure of the body.
I had wood figures on each table. Students were to draw the three main body masses first (head, chest, and torso), then joints, arms and legs. This was to be drawn quickly and very lightly. After a couple of minutes students were to rotate to the next table and sketch a new pose. Everyone was very reluctant when I set such a short amount of time to sketch but after the second drawing they were gaining confidence and getting excited about beating the clock.
After they sketched three different poses, they were to draw around their original structure and create thicker arms and legs.
Next week I will have students drawing each other using the same structure they used to draw their figures. Stay tuned for an update.
Here is a few pictures of the new bulletin board. I like to start the year out with something fun to look at. Everybody loved the dancing giraffe and a couple of teachers said they want to steal it and put it in their room. If you haven’t figured it out already, the bulletin board is based on the book “Giraffes Can’t Dance”.
One issue I often run into is the bending of paintbrush bristles. I try to teach my students to place wet brushes, brush up, so that they dry properly. There is always one or two that still get stuck in the bucket the wrong way. It makes it very difficult for students to use the brushes and I hate having to throw them away. I came across this product when ordering supplies and tested it recently. As you can see in the picture below. It works very well. I am super excited about giving some of my brushes a “lift”.
I ran across this website when I was looking for ideas for one of my camps. It had great images and lots of great information about different artists and art movements. When you are looking up one particular artist, the artwork, history, and quotes are all contained in one place and easy to find. I was thinking this would be great to use in lessons and to even use as an art webquest.
This video was featured on the website and I thought it would be great to use when I teach 6th grade portrait drawing. It shows how often Van Gogh painted himself.
One of my first camps this summer was the digital art camp. This is the second year having this camp and it is one of my favorites. The kids get to do things that are completely new.
One of my favorite projects was inspired by Video Art in Photoshop and Video Art and Photoshop for Kids by Nicole Dalesio. She is another great educator and blogger. She has some fun projects using video and Photoshop that are very easy to follow.
For one of the projects the kids picked a theme that would be easy to film short clips. For this project the them was “kids at play”. The kids went out in groups and picked something to play on in the playground. I showed them how to film at different angles to get more interesting compositions. It was important that they keep the videos short.
Then, I taught them how to edit the length of their clips and apply adjustment layers to their videos using Photoshop.
Once all the videos were complete, I finished the project by uploading the video files to Animoto. Here is the final result.
Check out Nicole Dalesio’s website to see how to apply the filters to video in Photoshop.
Hello all! It has been a while since I posted anything substantial, mainly because of a busy summer. I have been working hard trying to finish a professional certification program, teaching five camps, and cleaning and preparing for the new school year. The great part about not writing for a while is that I have some new things to share with all of you. I will be posting real soon (tonight). Hope you all enjoy and learn something new.
I could not resist posting this music video from a band called Hold Your Horse that show the band members posing as different famous paintings. I first saw the video on Free Technology for Teachers blog and thought it was great. | 2019-04-22T21:55:18 | http://drawpaintandcut.blogspot.com/ |
Gastar Exploration Ltd. announced that it has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with Atinum Marcellus I LLC (Atinum), an affiliate of Atinum Partners Co., Ltd, a leading investment firm located in the Republic of Korea. Pursuant to the agreement, Gastar will assign an initial 21.43% interest to Atinum in all of its existing Marcellus Shale assets in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, approximately 34,200 net acres, and certain producing shallow conventional wells in a transaction valued at approximately $70 million.
Under the terms of the transaction, Atinum will pay Gastar $30 million in cash upon closing and an additional $40 million in the form of a drilling carry. Upon the completion of the funding of the drilling carry, Atinum will own a 50% interest in the 34,200 net acres of Marcellus Shale rights currently owned by Gastar. Gastar will continue to serve as operator of all of the Marcellus Shale interests in the JV. The transaction is expected to close within 30 to 45 days and is contingent upon the receipt of certain required approvals from government agencies in the Republic of Korea and other customary closing conditions.
The terms of the drilling carry call for Atinum to fund its ultimate 50% share of drilling, completion and infrastructure costs along with 75% of Gastar's ultimate 50% share of those same costs until the $40 million carry has been satisfied. Gastar and Atinum are pursuing an initial three-year development program that calls for the partners to drill one horizontal Marcellus Shale well during the remainder of 2010 and a minimum of 12 horizontal wells in 2011 and 24 horizontal wells in each of 2012 and 2013.
An initial area of mutual interests ("AMI") will be established for potential additional acreage acquisitions in Ohio and New York along with the counties in West Virginia and Pennsylvania in which the existing interests are located. Within the initial AMI, Gastar will act as operator and will offer any future lease acquisitions to Atinum on a 50/50 basis, while Atinum has agreed to pay Gastar on an annual basis an amount equal to 10% of lease bonuses and third party leasing costs up to $20 million and 5% of the costs on activities above $20 million. Until June 30, 2011, Atinum will have the right to participate in any future leasehold acquisitions made by Gastar, outside of the initial AMI and within West Virginia or Pennsylvania, on terms identical to those governing the existing Marcellus JV.
J. Russell Porter, Gastar's President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to announce this transaction and we look forward to our partnership with Atinum Partners. This joint venture will allow Gastar to accelerate development of our Marcellus Shale assets while maintaining a low level of leverage and a high degree of financial flexibility. This transaction also realizes a significantly higher valuation for our Marcellus Shale assets than what has been reflected in our share price and thus made a joint venture the least dilutive method to finance development. We may utilize the proceeds from this transaction to help fund our Marcellus Shale development plans, future drilling and development of our East Texas asset, lease or property acquisition opportunities and potential debt reduction."
Kyung Soo Chung, President and CEO of Atinum Partners, commented, "We are excited about the opportunity to invest in the Marcellus Shale and to partner with an experienced operator such as Gastar. This is our third investment in the U.S. energy sector in the last 12 months, continuing our strategy to actively invest in significant growth opportunities." | 2019-04-21T06:47:50 | https://www.gulfoilandgas.com/webpro1/main/mainnews.asp?id=19262 |
The deployments section provides very useful PaaS like capabilities when it comes to deploying applications into the newly provisioned environment. These can be uploaded directly from the UI, pulled from a build server, pulled from a public or private Git repository or even via the API and the various plugins created, such as Jenkins, and Gradle to support continuous build / integration workflows.
A deployment can be considered a set of versions that relate to a particular project or application being deployed. This allows one to keep track of a history of versions and easily reuse these deployment versions across instances that may exist in different environments. An example might be to deploy a version from a deployment to a staging instance and (once approved) also deployed into production.
Getting started with deployments is easy. They can vary slightly for the application stack being deployed but the simplest phase of a deployment is adding a version and adding the appropriate files to the deployment archive that are needed for the application to run. This could be a single file like a WAR file for Tomcat, or it could be hundreds of files for stacks like Ruby on Rails .
There are a few ways to create a deployment. The first is to use the Provisioning -> Deployments section of the application to create them. Simply add a new deployment and give it a name representing the application that is being deployed. Once a deployment is created select the deployment to view its versions (which will be empty to start). Next, its time to add a version.
When adding a version there are several options. There are 3 types represented by the UI. These include File, Fetch, and Git respectively. A File deployment allows the user to simply drag their files into the file explorer presented by the dialog. This file explorer can take single files or entire file trees (If files exist in subfolders then only the Chrome browser is supported due to browser limitations at the time of this writing). This is also the common type that is represented when files are uploaded via the CLI, or available build tool integration plugins. Once the files have completed their upload simply save the version for use.
For performing git based deploys Morpheus supports both public and private repositories. To utilize a private git repository the add version dialog will display a public keypair that can be added to the git service for authentication purposes. Currently this keypair is shared across the account and not specifically scoped to the user so it may be advisable to connect this integration to a deployment account in git. From here either a ssh or https git url can be entered along with a git branch or tag name. Once the version is saved, this repository will be copied down into the deployment archive for use.
Fetch based deployments are pretty straightforward. Simply enter a url to a file representing the deployment. This can be a single file (in which case it will just be added to the deployment archive singularly) or it can be a zip file (which will automatically be expanded into the archive). HTTP Authentication options can also be entered if the url requires some form of basic authentication scheme for access by the appliance.
Now that a version has been added to a deployment it is easy to push that deploy out to any instance provisioned within Morpheus . Simply navigate to the specific Instance that needs deployed to. On the Instance detail page there is a tab called Deploy . From here simply add a deploy. The dialog will ask firstly from which deployment the deploy is from (or allow you to create a new one on the spot) , and secondly which version to deploy (also with the option to add one on the fly). The next step of the wizard will display any configuration options that might be specific to the instance type being deployed to (i.e. CATALINA_OPTS for Tomcat or Java Command for java) as well as the file explorer and deployment type selections for review (or use when creating a new version on the fly). Fill in the required items then simply hit complete. The deploy will now be asynchronously sent off to all of the virtual machines or containers within the instance in a rolling restart and the deployment status will be represented.
When deploying to an instance, the custom configuration options that were entered during the previous deployment are automatically carried forward allowing one to edit them or leave them as is.
Because of the tracked history of deployments kept within Morpheus , the deploy tab of instance detail makes it easy to choose a previously run deployment and jump back to it in the event of a failed deployment. The history will automatically be updated and the configuration, as well as data from the previous deployment state of the instance will be restored.
Since a full history of the backup builds are kept in Morpheus , as the appliance grows it becomes necessary to change where these are stored. On a fresh install these are stored on the local appliance in /var/opt/morpheus or wherever the master account may have changed the configuration to point to. It is also possible to adjust the deployment archive store by creating a Storage Provider tied to an S3 compatible object store, Openstack Swift object store, or any other type of mountpoint provided. This option can be adjusted in Admin -> Provisioning once a storage provider is created within the account.
Select the Deployments link in the sub-navigation bar.
Click the Name of the deployment you would like to add a version to.
From the Add Version Wizard select the deployment type.
Input the Version of the deployment.
Drag files into the file explorer presented by the dialog. This file explorer can take single files or entire file trees.
Enter a url to a file representing the deployment.
The add version dialog will display a public key pair that can be added to the git service for authentication purposes. Either a ssh or https git url can be entered along with a git branch or tag name.
Click the Edit Deployment icon on the row of the deployment you wish to edit.
Click the Delete Deployment icon on the row of the deployment you wish to delete. | 2019-04-24T08:06:13 | https://docs.morpheusdata.com/en/3.6.0/provisioning/deployments/deployments.html |
The Savoy Afternoon Tea Experience has arrived to Fairmont St Andrews.
The Savoy, a Fairmont managed property in London, is world-renowned for its traditional Afternoon Tea. So, following a multi-million pound renovation of our public areas, we, Fairmont St Andrews are delighted to be offering an afternoon sweet treat that will give you a taste of London in St Andrews. Choose from a range of teas served with homemade finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream & jam, and a selection of indulgent seasonal cakes and pastries created by the hotels Executive Pastry Chef.
You will experience this offering in the heart of the hotel in the newly renovated Atrium Lounge which features a lighting sculpture that hangs gracefully above. The 60 metre lighting sculpture is by artist George Singer and named ‘Zephyr’. “Some of the elements I was inspired by in the creation of ‘Zephyr’ were the beautiful rolling hills, the crashing waves on the rugged coastal rocks, the long grasses blowing in the wind and the enormous dramatic skies. A sense of energy, dynamism and movement is captured by suspending twenty-thousand metal disks to create an enormous form full of twists and turns, like a shoal of fish or moving cloud dancing through the hotel’s Atrium”.
We do hope that you will enjoy the Savoy Afternoon Tea Experience. | 2019-04-25T12:06:56 | https://www.standrewsbay.com/eat-and-drink/savoy-afternoon-tea/ |
The Coronation Festival heralds the start of posh picnic season. Xanthe Clay gives her tips on how to eat chic.
Christopher Robin and Alice will be in good company next week, should they fancy another trip to Buckingham Palace. More than 12,000 of us are purportedly heading to the Coronation Festival, to throng the grounds and celebrate all things British.
The Royal Warrant holders will be on parade, including some of the jewels of British food and drink: cheesemongers Paxton and Whitfield, Shipton Mill flour and butcher Donald Russell. Not to mention South African-owned behemoth 3663, which supplies the likes of Burger King. That’ll put paid to any elitism cracks.
Although festival- goers won’t be able to bring any food in, there’ll be grazing galore: a John Lewis picnic hamper at £90 for two includes English sparkling wine, Spanish ham and smoked salmon stuffed with lobster and crab. There’s a £60 option too, with Hebridean crab and Pimm’s.
It seems nowadays no festival is complete without some sort of stellar foodie offering. The Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire will feature chefs including Fergus Henderson, Yotam Ottolenghi and the team from ultra-trendy Polpo (August 8-11); while Jamie Oliver and Alex James’s Big Feastival (August 31-September 1) has a Street Food Alley where outfits such as the sensational Yum Bun will be plying their wares.
But for most of the great British picnic opportunities, the best option is to bring your own. Of course, you can buy the whole lot ready made – there is plenty of choice out there. How about the all-British Melrose and Morgan picnic hamper for two with Chegworth Valley strawberries, Montgomery cheddar, a handmade pork pie and a canvas bag but no umbrella. Not posh enough? Then head to Corrigan’s Mayfair for a luxury picnic for £1,000 upwards – with butler thrown in.
Or you can take the boutique artisan route: make it yourself, for a bargain price. With a few judicious short cuts – ready made custard, oat cakes, really good pork pies – it’ll be as gourmet as anything on offer. And with absolutely no flaccid quiche.
Pack a large bag of ice in the bottom of the cool box instead of freezer blocks. There’ll be plenty for the drinks and the ice bucket, and you won’t have to carry it home.
Paper plates are grim, and plastic cutlery is pointless. Use metal knives and forks (charity shops are a great source of mismatched vintage pieces). Enamelled tin plates from camping shops have a retro charm and will last forever.
Nothing tastes good out of a plastic cup. Even those clever plastic picnic glasses, the ones that look unnervingly like the real thing, feel depressing. Sturdy glass tumblers (Ikea) are good for wine and soft drinks. For champagne I love the pricey but virtually indestructible silver-plated flutes from Selfridges, currently on sale at £50 for a pair.
Paper napkins are convenient but cloth or linen makes even cheese sandwiches feel lavish in a Brideshead way. Plus, you can use them to wrap the glasses in. | 2019-04-18T12:43:43 | https://health.peonyrose.org/post_1186.html |

The Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its 11th year, is conducted by Novi-based Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch as part of an effort to show the effects of lawsuits on warning labels.
Kevin Soave of Farmington Hills, a Detroit suburb, won the $500 grand prize for submitting the winning label.
"Predatory lawyers know they can file ridiculous lawsuits against innocent product makers and blackmail them into a cash settlement - even in cases in which a user has ignored common sense," Dorigo Jones said.
Those who oppose the contest say that while some warning labels may seem silly, even dumb warnings can do good. They have a warning of their own: Don't be so quick to laugh at labels that help save lives. | 2019-04-26T16:19:39 | http://wocka.com/15883.html |
Summary: The lack of transparency and the presence of widespread irregularities in the voting and counting process have given Egypt’s parliamentary elections little credibility among both international and domestic observers.
As results come in for Egypt’s People’s Assembly elections—surprise, a victory for the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP)—they are likely to enjoy little credibility either inside or outside the country due to the total lack of transparency and the widespread irregularities and violence that characterized the voting and counting processes.
Extensive restrictions on media coverage and civil society monitoring ensured that there would be little transparency on election day. Egyptian authorities prevented live satellite broadcasts from the country and cancelled planned television programs by major media outlets, including the BBC.
While the Higher Electoral Commission, which was charged with supervising the parliamentary elections, responded to early complaints about monitor exclusion by saying it would look into the problem, the commission itself created the problem by issuing overly restrictive regulations for monitoring—stipulating, for example, that credentialed monitors could enter polling stations only with the permission of the polling station chair, as if the credentials did not in themselves constitute permission.
Although monitors mostly watched the elections from outside polling places, they observed signs of widespread electoral fraud, in particular ballot box stuffing. Monitors witnessed or received eyewitness accounts (as well as video evidence) of voting stations being closed for hours while poll workers wrote out ballot after ballot, and of supporters of ruling party candidates arriving at voting stations bearing large plastic bags full of voter cards or completed ballots. Outside the polling places, vote buying proceeded as usual, with the price for a vote varying according to the location and the time of day.
Coercion and intimidation also featured in the Egyptian elections, primarily perpetrated by “baltagiyya,” thugs hired either by the security services or by individual candidates. Thugs kept voters out of certain polling stations for hours at a time, expelled civil society monitors and journalists by force, and intimidated or beat up campaign workers or thugs working for other candidates. A few of the thugs reportedly worked for Muslim Brotherhood candidates, but the vast majority appeared to be affiliated with the regime or the National Democratic Party and were tolerated by uniformed security.
With the baltagiyya on hand to do the dirty work, uniformed security officers appeared to be better behaved than in previous elections and there were fewer reports of security cordons around polling places in order to exclude or intimidate voters.
Among the little-noticed surprises of the elections was an announcement that Coptic Pope Shenouda had voted for an opposition candidate, Rami Lakah (a Copt) of the Wafd Party. This was in stark contrast to the Pope’s stance during the 2005 elections, when he instructed Copts that it was their duty to vote for the ruling National Democratic Party and went so far as to excommunicate several Copts who chose to run as opposition candidates. While Shenouda’s change of heart will not affect the election results, it is a strong sign of his displeasure with the regime’s handling of simmering sectarian tensions, including an incident the week before elections in which security services provoked unrest by disrupting the construction of a church, resulting in the killing of one young Coptic man.
Sectarian conflicts are among several other issues—economic dissatisfaction, police brutality and torture, and public safety problems—souring the attitude of Egyptians toward the government and keeping the internal situation at a simmer, if not a boil. A parliamentary election seen by Egyptians as having been stolen will turn the temperature up another notch. | 2019-04-19T01:51:21 | https://carnegieendowment.org/2010/11/30/opaque-and-messy-elections-pub-42034 |
• Change of Course: Contributor Geoff Pingree (page 1) was out when bombs tore through the morning commute in Madrid Thursday. "I was on the metro line leading toward Atocha station, where one of the attacks occurred. Typically, there's an announcement telling you what station you're arriving at. But this time, it was much louder, coming not only from the train but in the station as well. The train simply stopped, and we were informed it would be shut down - though no reason was given."
Geoff says that as he headed back home, he noticed that the atmosphere seemed unusually somber and quiet. "When I walked into my apartment, I turned on the TV and realized what had happened. People quickly began gathering in squares and plazas to show solidarity against such a terrible attack."
• Missing in Moscow: How low-key is Russia's election (this page)? The usual rule in election campaigns, says Scott Peterson, is that the closer you get to campaign offices, the more paraphernalia trumpeting Candidate X you will find stuck to walls, cars, and people.
Not so in Russia. When Scott was hunting for President Vladimir Putin's election office in downtown Moscow, he was looking out for tall billboards of the candidate's enigmatic visage, or walls plastered with posters - or at least a banner strung across the road.
When he finally saw it - using the street number to identify it - he put his camera away.
"It looked like any other renovated building," Scott says. "There was a policeman or two - smart new restaurants in Moscow have more security than that. But there was no indication at all that this was the nerve center of the key national race - except for the plain Jane sign on the wall, which could just as easily read 'Notary Public.' "

Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, Jensun Huang showed the audience in Tokyo how NVIDIA DRIVE and it's scalable architecture will be the future for autonomous driving software, saying that "It will be a functional safe operating system, with incredible algorithms, and all kinds of applications built on top."
On NVIDIA's blog post about Huangs speech they explained what the advantages of Xavier would provide "With Xavier, applications will process sensor data from outside and within the car, using deep neural networks to deliver applications built on 360-degree surround perception coupled with eye tracking, gesture recognition and natural language understanding."
This new software created by NVIDIA means that cars equipped with it will be able to alarm the driver of potential risks and safety hazards surrounding the car, while also detecting and adapting to the current state of driver - e.g drowsiness or distractions. | 2019-04-23T08:58:40 | https://www.tweaktown.com/news/60161/nvidia-play-huge-role-smart-car-race-xavier/index.html |

Outdoor patio bar sets – on summer nights, going out to the outdoor patio bar for a cold drink can be refreshing. A patio bar is especially useful if you entertain large groups of people frequently such as when holding a barbecue on the patio or a meal. Let the style of your outdoor bar reflect the atmosphere and atmosphere that one looks for in the patio area.
Turn your patio into a scene from another era by installing an outdoor bar made of mahogany or walnut wood. This type of bar goes well with almost any concrete patio floor material, and the brightly colored forest lends a sophisticated appeal. Opt for one with ornamental designs or adhere to a simple finish. Either way, be sure to add a weather resistant sealer to the surface to protect it. Covering it when it is not used will also help to add protection.
A bar in the outdoor patio that suits your home, helps to unite the space on the outside of the building. Having this type of patio bar sets could be as simple as using the same building materials for the structure, such as covering it with brick. You could also opt for something more structurally complex and turn it into a covered bar with a matching roofline and shingles. Consider building the roof that comes directly outside the house so you could use the bar even when it is raining. | 2019-04-19T12:32:57 | https://the-modern-village.com/outdoor-patio-bar-sets-design-ideas/ |

Wall Street Journal Features Up & Down – Superior Management inc.
The creative team behind the nightspot Up/Down has been featured by the Wall Street Journal. As noted in the article, upstairs has the uncanny appearance of a hotel lobby and references to FOMO abound. Up/Down is located at 244-6 West 14th Street, was formally Nell’s Nightclub, and is where the music video ‘Big Poppa” was filmed. | 2019-04-21T20:21:41 | https://nysmi.com/wall-street-journal-features-up-down/ |
Parts of South Florida will likely be in the National Hurricane Center’s five-day forecast path. The official forecast takes the Category 3 storm just north of the islands of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Cuba through Friday. Beyond day five, reliable longer range forecast data suggests Hurricane Irma will make a sharp turn to the north near or over the peninsula of Florida. A credible forecast on when and where it makes that turn, along with how strong it will be is just not scientifically possible yet.
Emergency management officials and the National Hurricane Center have urged all Floridians who live in a hurricane prone area area, in particular those along both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of South Florida, to begin making plans that can be acted upon should full hurricane preparations be required later this week.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Workers in the northeast Caribbean cleared drains and pruned trees as authorities urged islanders to prepare for Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm that grew stronger Monday and was forecast to begin buffeting the region the following day. | 2019-04-25T05:02:34 | https://www.wlrn.org/post/major-hurricane-irma-expected-approach-florida-weekend |

He can't pass a leaf without deconstructing it.
The exclamation point was mandatory. Director Steven Soderbergh owed us a warning that “The Informant!” would be different from other corporate malfeasance movies. True story it may be, but the nature of the movie’s whistle blower and the actor who creates him make it a first rate dark comedy.
As Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) reveals his true nature ever so slowly, we begin to understand we haven’t seen his like before. The part of this oddball corporation man called for a very good actor and, wearing 40 extra pounds and a car salesman’s mustache, Matt Damon is very good.
75,000 people live in Decatur, Illinois, and many of them work for Archer Daniels Midland, the agricultural behemoth that makes lysine and citric acid, two ubiquitous food additives in the American diet. Corn and soybeans make up the soul of this town that gives so many a living. At the top of the pyramid is the Andreas family, father and son – CEO and heir apparent.
Vice President Mark Whitacre begins his self-revelation in scene #1 as he lectures his young son about corn while driving through the endless fields of it that surround Decatur. We quickly realize that we will watch one aspect of Mark Whitacre interact with colleagues and another who drops his stream-of-consciousness mental ramblings gently into the narrator’s slot. Mark, you see, is a bio-chemist with an engineer’s mind that sees the world in its infinite details. He is fascinated by the constant interplay of chemical interactions around us. He wanders from commentaries on his own physical strengths and personal habits to butterflies to steam that rises from pools. He can’t pass a leaf without deconstructing it.
I will not be the spoiler of this plot so let’s just say that you will follow the company executives through their crimes to the resulting punishments for wire fraud, price fixing and money laundering. But your pleasure will lie in watching Mark Whitacre proudly describing why he is the white hat hero among all the villains. His certitude about his role in the fraud is as absolute as his house of cards is rickety.
In the movie’s weakest link, the corpora te suits are indistinguishable, one from the other, to the point where we can see them only as a collective symbol. Mark’s wife Ginger (Melanie Lynskey) is fine as a prim, loyal wife under a bouffant wig who speaks in a timid little voice that hides a will of iron. See if you can figure out why so many characters wear wigs in this oddly engrossing movie. I couldn’t.
It is impossible to look away from Matt Damon’s Mark Whitacre. His strange biochemist’s mind tracks both his career and the world around him in layers of observation that work for his internal self but become, in the real world, self-defeating. His engine runs on his own perfect logic. Is he heading for a cliff or will the world around him realize how right he is? | 2019-04-21T20:29:23 | http://joanellis.com/reviews/informant,%20the.htm |
Lydia Liza, known off stage as Lydia Hoglund, got her start fronting the band Bomba de Luz and put out her first EP when she was just 16 years old. She was already leaps and bounds ahead of other Twin Cities musicians in many different ways – she was taking songwriting classes at McNally Smith from Jeremy Messersmith, she was booking her own shows and playing several nights a week, and she was commanding listeners with her huge, booming, elastic voice, which sounds like it’s coming out of another time and place all together.
Since then she’s gone on to guest on many different projects, including Toki Wright and Big Cats’ Pangaea, and she joined Toki on the road as a member of his live band. She’s also established herself as a solo performer, but has yet to release much material under her own name. We’ll get to more of the why behind that in today’s conversation.
Lydia is still only 20—she is getting ready to celebrate her 21st birthday at the end of the month—but she strikes me as an old soul. She bursts forth with a giddy, youthful energy, but seems to understand people and connect with her audience and her peers on an emotional level in a way that’s difficult for the rest of us. Being empathetic comes with a cost, and that’s a trade-off Lydia has been reckoning with in recent years. At the beginning of this year, she hit a wall, and a mental health crisis landed her in the ER, followed by both inpatient and outpatient treatment centers.
On the way to talking about her health and recovery, Lydia touched on just about every topic imaginable. We ended up talking about feminism, about anxiety, about Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, about the pressure we place on celebrities and the pressures she’s placed on herself. We felt all the feelings and covered all the things. And I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Many people seem to travel to Costa Rica these days, but not all of them are quite as clued about all the things that one might have to consider while travelling to these places. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to be quite clueless about things like Costa Rica airport transportation. They wouldn’t have really thought about it until they actually get there, when things might be a little more challenging. If you are familiar with the options early on, you should be in a better position to choose the right one that is cost effective and optimum in other ways as well.
Most people consider going in for taxi or making use of public transportation. If you are travelling alone or are well versed with the different places, then this might be a good option to go in for as you might be able to save money.
However, for people that want to do things on their own and aren’t quite sure about the local transportation, it might make more sense to perhaps rent a car and go out to explore the places on their own. This, in a number of ways, offers the individual to discover places that they would have normally been unable to find on their own.
There are also other different ways to get around Costa Rica that you could make use of. Hence, you might want to check these options out, and if you feel that there is something that you might perhaps want to make use of, it would make a lot of sense to opt in for one of these modes of transportation. Ideally, you would want to opt in for an all-inclusive vacation to Costa Rica, which is sure to help you save a lot of trouble while in the place. | 2019-04-24T06:53:38 | https://www.adventureincostarica.com/costa-rica-travel-blog/costa-rica-airport-transportation-what-are-ideal-ways-get-around-here |
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dare to Lead by Brené Brown.
In her number one NYT best sellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.
But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage, to start.
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?
i have heard most of Brenes audio books so i found this mostly a rerecollection of her books with a professional slant. content is still good etc.. but i definitely struggled with this one i.e took me more than a month to finish.
This book is amazing! As a leader it’s helped me implement some quick simple strategies to have quick wins with my team and dive into the tough conversations. I’ve actually been able to help a team member re-ignite their love of growth in many areas of life not just work which is a major win for both of us. If you are passionate about people and helping them grow, this is the book for you.
Loved the ideas, insights and strategies.
Will incorporate into my life and relationships. Loved the chapter on confabulation -- "the story I am making is..." such a simple and brilliant way to let someone know that your mind has already begun creating a story and that you'd like to get better understanding and clarity.
lots of relatable and usable info. I've already started sharing the concepts with colleagues, and recommending the book title to everyone that will listen.
I'm looking forward to listening again, to fill in some gaps and get a greater grasp and understanding.
I've also bought the hard copy book, and I'm glad to know that extra resources are available online, to help implement the strategies defined within.
She did it again. So simple, so powerful.
I can't tell whether the impact of Brene's writing is amplified by her voice and her story, or if it is just so real and authentic that it would hold up on it's own either way. However, no matter the answer, this book was another game changer for me. It inspired me, validated me, gave me perspective and became woven into my identity. It is nothing short of brilliant.
Brene has gifted the world with yet another gem that soothes your soul like a big sister. With her ability to relate and the ability to love herself despite her (self perceived) flaws, is so engaging. Listening to her tell this story is mesmerising but to listen and be able to simultaneously feel her pain/embarrassment/humour/emotion makes it so valuable. Yes, she is Brene Brown - gifted researcher, Author, speaker, mother, daughter, sister, neighbour and wife (plus much more I am sure) and yes, she is also batshit crazy with the BS she lets in to her head sometimes, just like the rest of us.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I wish every workplace person would read it and lay our vulnerability cards on the table for all to see.
Having a leader that understands the principles of the group/team is paramount. Brene shares how we can overcome hurdles and learn from each other, that every voice counts, that no question is any less important than the last. This is a company i would love to work for. Another great read thank you Brene.
I have been a long time learner from Brene Brown's work, and this piece is the most practical and masterfully woven one yet. Linking together all the research from throughout the years, it allows first time listeners / readers to have a clear understanding of the journey she has been on, while also gaining practical guidance and talk world support for any type of leadership ; from business, to education, to leading in your family and even day to day relationships. I will be reading this again!
I love Brene's work, and this book did not disappoint. Builds on her other works.
Absolutely brilliant! I’ve been using the skills at work even before finishing the book and the levels of trust, communication and staff engagement improve immediately as a result and can’t wait to see where the organisation goes as we implement more and more of these strategies.
This is a book whose time has come. Victor Hugo said: All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
In the current environment with political upheaval, it feels like the old system and structures are being irrevocably changed. In all this, we need leaders to guide us. Having said that I believe people have given up on leaders and often choosing the best from a bad bunch.
This book is truly an idea whose time has come. By being vulnerable and human; leaders can really inspire and motivate others for the tumultuous times that is only just starting.
If nothing else, this book has given me confidence in the processes I use to develop leaders. One part emotional intelligence mixed with two parts bravery plus some practical skills.
I have not read any of her previous books, but I dare you to read this one.
I didn't want to finish this book. It was so moving! Thanks Brené! Your authenticity is remarkable.
It was great. I learned so much about myself and leadership. It does repeat some concepts from the other books, but it was helpful as it was in relation to the workplace. I love Brene’s voice too. The workbook that you get from her site was really helpful to. I wish the links o her site were available with the audio book. Having the downloads would be better but I understand why not.
and stories from leaders many of us admire. I am a great admirer of Brene and her important work!
Brene is always good and I love that she read the book and delivered it more like a seminar than a straight read, more discourse than lecture. However, having read all her previous books, I felt that this was an amalgamation of her previous books rather than fresh information. I agree that good information is worth repeating but I could have done that by rereading her previous books rather than buying this one. Lots of summaries of previous advice, lists, definitions and actions. So overall I was rather disappointed.
Best one since Shame & Vulnerability. Superb!
Loved this book. Really powerful and useful tools to improve not just leadership skills but life skills and communication. Great content, easy to listen too and well explained skills. Comes with corresponding literature and worksheets which are available from the website. This is my favourite book since her original Shame and vulnerability. A must read! I prefer the listening versions as you hear Brene Brown reading it and it has more depth as her personality warm voice and personality shine through. I would recommend.
I could listen to Brene all day long, her words make so much sense and she tells the story so well.
Brene has an incredible ability to bring abstract theoretical concepts on soft touchy topics such as vulnerability, values and integrity in to practical, easy to follow advice which both helps you get super clear on your core values and how these values can and should be implemented during everyday working life. 5 Stars!
What a wonderful book. Listening to the audio was great - Bréne has a great way of telling a story. So engaging.
A lot of lessons and insights. I’m going to buy the book as it will be one I pick up again and again.
Finished in a few consistent sessions, feeling uplifted and made some changes I'm happier with. I'm a lot kinder to myself during the change process and more balanced. Brené has a way of disarming the ego and advising from a centred place. You feel like she's a companion on the journey rather than someone you don't feel struggles and so can't serve as a realistic example of healthy personal development.
Just what we have come to expect from Brene. Insightful and honest overview of how understanding our vulnerability allows us to grow. | 2019-04-25T18:18:15 | https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Dare-to-Lead-Audiobook/B07FTSJX2F?ref=a_lib_c4_libItem_2_B07FTSJX2F&pf_rd_p=d423133c-c59b-46a4-9257-6d953958b634&pf_rd_r=RZ362YFJ5KPQYGSPF6CQ |

92 year-old World War II veteran and Kosieradzki Smith client, Bill Lacina, was nearly drugged to death at St. Therese nursing home when he was given narcotics, something which he was never prescribed. He was given so much of the narcotics that he nearly overdosed and died.
Fox 9 news met with Bill Lacina and attorney Mark Kosieradzki to tell his story.
Bill Lacina was admitted to the facility in April, 2014 and on April 22, 2014 he was admitted to North Memorial Medical Center’s emergency department where he was treated for a narcotic overdose.
“I got a whole tribe of people watching out for me, but what about those poor old people that lay there and would like a few more days of life and don’t get them?” Lacina said.
“By holding wrongdoers accountable we bring some change to our world, and our nursing homes will become safer because the people are held accountable for what they do,” Mark Kosieradzki tells Fox 9.

When interviewing candidates for sales, it’s important you’re asking the right questions. Your interview process should identify strengths, weaknesses, preferences and goals so you can staff your organization with the best-fitting sales reps.
These questions help you evaluate how adept your candidate is at selling a product and closing a deal. An ideal candidate should be able to stay up to date with the market, so ask whether they read relevant trade magazines, blogs or regularly checks in with appropriate social media.
You might ask what are three adjectives a former client would use to describe them. Listen for words that indicate helpfulness and their ability to nurture a customer relationship.
Ask how much time they typically spend cultivating those relationships versus hunting for new clients. They should be doing both. Ask how they research prospects before a call to make sure they look for personal commonalities and professional information so they can customize each call.
Inquire about what they think your sales team could do better and what they would do in their first month there. They should demonstrate that they’ve done research, and can think creatively and entrepreneurially.
These questions should hint at their experience, their persistence and their resilience. Ask how they handle objections and when they stop pursuing a client. The more tenacious and persistent, the better! But they also need to be sensitive to relationships and wearing out their welcome. Six to eight attempts is probably a good target.
Find out about a deal they’ve lost or a losing streak. Could they turn it around and persevere? Can they smile through rejection and bounce back? Ask what they’ve learned from past successes and failures.
Ask questions that can elicit clues about whether they’ll fit into your company culture. For example, do you prioritize making quota every single month or having happy customers? Ask about their thoughts about collaborating with other members of the sales team. Even if your company doesn’t do that, you don’t want to hire someone who’s unwilling to cooperate with others.
Find out what their favorite and least favorite parts of the sales process are. This might hint at strengths and weaknesses, but should also be an opportunity to make sure their process aligns with yours.
Inquire about their motivations and career goals. Why are they in sales? You want to identify a candidate who’s a self-starter and a life-long learner, looking to develop their skills and grow their career.
For more tips on how to pull out the best salespeople in your interview process, contact us today. | 2019-04-23T11:54:43 | https://culvercareers.com/blog/questions-asking-hire-best-sales-reps/ |

This table contains a list of the PDU's Auxiliary Sensors and their respective 'location' in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable table. This table contains 1 row, for potential sensor for each PDU. The rows in this table are created by the agent based on the maximum number of sensor's supported for each PDU. Each row in the table represents an auxiliary sensor, identified by its factory assigned serial number and its placement in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable. If all serial numbers in this table are empty strings then the location of the sensors in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable will default to the agent's default placement algorithm. If sensors in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable and are not represented by an entry in this table then the location of the unrepresented sensor(s) in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable, and other display mediums, will be determined by the agent, but in no case will an unrepresented sensor occupy a position reserved for a sensor present in this table. Those unrepresented sensor's display location is not guaranteed to be consistent across reboots or rediscovery actions on the sensor bus. Only sensors represented in this table are guarantted consistent placement as specified by their index entries (position) in this table. Note that it is possible to have entries in this table representing sensors that may not exist on the given PDU at runtime. These allocated by not present sensors will reduce the total number of sensors that can be displayed for the given PDU.
This entry defines the attributes to be populated in the various columns of the 'lgpPduAuxMeasOrderTable'. This table is indexed by 'lgpPduEntryIndex' which is the sole index into the 'lgpPduTable' and 'lgpPduAuxMeasSensorIndex' which is a unique identifier for the auxiliary sensor attached to the given PDU. Taken together these two indexes uniquely identify a Auxiliary Sensor within this agent.
The sensor's globally unique serial number assigned at the time of manufacture. The sensor represented by this serial number will be, if discovered, by the agent placed in the lgpPduAuxMeasTable at the location specified by the index entries herein. A empty string in this object indicates an open display position that can be occupied by any sensor not given a specific display position in this table. | 2019-04-21T06:07:21 | http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/L/LIEBERT-GP-PDU-MIB.php |

Image and Video Communication – Professor Robert W. Heath Jr.
The next generation of video networks will deliver images and video content to mobile users, leveraging rapidly expanding wireless networks. By many predictions, multimedia especially video traffic is going to saturate capacity in the next few years. A natural approach to solving capacity problems in wireless is to leverage the benefits provided by MIMO communication. Indeed, much of my group’s work has been on making the most out of MIMO (see the related research pages for example). The physical layer, though, is just one part of the solution. We believe that the next generation of wireless networks will need to exploit structure in the multimedia data to enable sensible tradeoffs between source coding and channel rate.
Our recent work has focused on developing distortion models for common image and video compression strategies. We are interested in both distortions due to quantization and due to bit errors caused by the channel. In this way it would be possible to adjust the source rate (impacts amount of quantization) and the channel rate (determines the bit error rate profile). Effectively such models provide practical rate-distortion curves. A challenge in creating these models is that compression strategies used in practice include features like arithmetic coding, run-length coding, transform coding, or motion compensation. In our recent work we developed distortion models for progressive JPEG and MPEG-4 video that accurately predict PSNR under a variety of parameters.
In the design of video communication systems, it is important to keep in mind that the ultimate receiver of visual information, be it images or videos, is the human brain. In our on-going work with LIVE, we are developing models for distortion to predict the impact of quantization and bit error rate on perceptual models of distortion. We are using these models to develop rate adaptation protocols that automatically tradeoff source and channel coding, not just in the wireless link but also in the network.
Several of our recent publications are summarized below.
M. F. Sabir, A. C. Bovik, and R. W. Heath, Jr., “Unequal Power Allocation for JPEG Transmission over MIMO Systems,” IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 410-421, Feb. 2010.
This paper shows the power of our recently developed distortion model for JPEG transmission to implement adaptive transmission in a wireless communication system. In idea is to divide the JPEG-compressed image into different quality layers, which are transmitted simultaneously from different transmit antennas using unequal transmit power, with a constraint on the total transmit power during any symbol period. The power allocation is determined by the empirical distortion model, and is also a function of the propagation channel. The optimal power allocation give large improvements in peak signal-to-noise ratio.
M. F. Sabir, R. W. Heath, Jr., and A. C. Bovik, “Joint Source-Channel Distortion Modeling for MPEG-4 Video,” IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, vol. 18, no. 1, pp. 90-105, Jan. 2009.
This paper establishes a distortion model for MPEG-4 video that accounts for quantization and channel errors at different source coding rates and channel bit error rates. An important feature of this model is that it includes practical aspects of video compression such as transform coding, motion compensation, and variable length coding. The model has low complexity, making it amenable to real-time optimization of video transmission over wireless links.
S. S. Channappayya, A. C. Bovik, and R. W. Heath, Jr., “Rate Bounds on SSIM Index of Quantized Images,” IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, vol. 17, no. 9, pp. 1624 – 1639, Sept. 2008.
SSIM is a full reference metric for measuring image quality, with reasonable correlation with human perception. In this paper, we derive bounds on the structural similarity (SSIM) index as a function of quantization rate for fixed-rate uniform quantization of image discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients with different source models. The proposed bounds are found to be reasonable for a large set of natural images.
S. S. Channappayya, A. C. Bovik, C. Caramanis, and R. W. Heath, Jr., “Design of Linear Equalizers Optimized for the Structural Similarity Index,” IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, vol. 17, no. 6, pp. 857-872, June 2008.
This paper presents the first design of an equalizer for the SSIM index. The key idea is to reformulate the nonconvex problem as a quasi-convex optimization problem, which admits a tractable solution. We find the coefficients of the SSIM optimal equalizers and illustrate its performance. The SSIM equalizer gives better SSIM performance (as expected) with comparable complexity as MMSE solutions.
M. F. Sabir, R. W. Heath, Jr., and A. C. Bovik, “A joint source channel distortion model for JPEG compressed images,” IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, vol. 15, no. 6, pp. 1349-1364, June 2006.
This paper proposes a distortion model for progressive JPEG compressed images that accounts jointly for quantization and channel bit errors. Of particular interest, this model incorporates practical features of JPEG including Huffman coding, differential pulse-coding modulation, and run-length coding are included in the model. The model is found to provide accurate prediction of peak signal-to-noise ratio, and is flexible enough for optimization of image delivery in communication systems.
S. S. Channappayya, J. Lee, R. W. Heath, Jr., and A. C. Bovik, “Frame Based Multiple Description Image Coding in the Wavelet Domain,” Proc. of the IEEE Int. Conf. on Image Processing, vo. 3, pp. 920-923, Genova, Italy, Sept. 11-14, 2005.
Multiple description codes generated by quantized frame expansions have been shown to perform well on erasure channels when compared to traditional channel codes. In this paper we propose a multiple description image coding scheme in the wavelet domain using quantized frame expansions. We form zerotrees from wavelet coefficients and apply a tight frame operator to the zerotrees. The proposed approach compares favorably with conventional channel coding.
We have been collaborating extensively on these topics with Prof. Al Bovik, the LIVE Lab, and the Center for Perceptual Systems. New collaborations in the area of wireless video networks have started with Prof. Constantine Caramanis, Prof. Jeff Andrews, and Prof. Gustavo de Veciana courtesy of our new project on Perceptual Optimization of Wireless Video Networks.

Nelly Furtado fans were not in a very giving mood this week, as her latest effort failed to make waves at the top of the Canadian album charts.
"Folklore," her long-awaited follow-up to 2000's runaway effort "Whoa, Nelly," stumbled out of the gate on the Canadian charts, entering in at No. 18 on sales of 10,400 according to Nielsen SoundScan Canada.
Despite debuting lower than "Whoa, Nelly" (No. 11), "Folklore" did manage to sell twice as many albums in its first week. It's too early to tell if "Folklore" will match "Whoa, Nelly's" success, which made Furtado a bona fide star in Canada. It has since sold more than 427,800 copies in Canada alone.
It was the same story south of the border, where Furtado debuted at No. 38 in the U.S.
News was brighter for fellow Canuck Sarah McLachlan, who returned to familiar territory, reclaiming the No. 1 spot with "Afterglow" (26,500). The album has now sold 172,200 copies since its release four weeks ago.
Two MuchMusic compilations made moves in their second week -- "MuchDance 2004" (21,100) moved from No. 6 to No. 2, while "Big Shiny Tunes 8" (18,100) rose four spots to fifth.
Josh Groban's "Closer" (19,000) claimed the third position, while Britney Spears's "In The Zone" (18,200) fell two notches to fourth.
Bruno Pelletier's self-titled (17,200) album jumped 12 spots to land at No. 6, Sheryl Crow's "The Very Best of Sheryl Crow" (15,200) re-entered the top 10 in seventh, and Blink-182's new self-titled effort dropped to No. 8 in its second week of release, after debuting at No. 1 last week.
Rod Stewart's "As Time Goes By...The Great American Songbook: Volume II" (13,800) placed ninth, and "Star Academie" winner Wilfred Le Bouthillier (13,700) rounded out the top 10.
Other notable debuts this week included No Doubt's "Singles Collection" at No. 13, Garou's "Reviens" at No. 20, the compilation "Women & Songs" at No. 27, the soundtrack to the new "Lord of the Rings" film at No. 36, Missy Elliott's "This Is Not A Test" at No. 41, and Puddle of Mudd's "Life On Display" at No. 49.
In the U.S., Jay-Z checked into the No. 1 spot with "The Black Album" (260,100), followed by No Doubt (252,900) in second, Britney Spears (251,300) in third, Hilary Duff's "Metamorphosis" (223,900) in fourth, and the collection "Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 14" (220,300) in fifth.

If eating frozen treats is a joy of the past, or you can’t brush or floss without experiencing discomfort, you may have sensitive teeth and gums. Fortunately, you don’t have to tolerate the misery. Tooth sensitivity is a treatable condition, and once you learn how to help sensitive teeth, you can enjoy your favorite foods again and stop wincing during routine dental care. Here’s a list of the biggest causes of sensitive teeth and gums and the steps you can take to relieve symptoms.
1. You’re brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush. This can wear down enamel and make sensitive nerves more accessible. Be gentle when brushing, and switch to a soft toothbrush.
2. Acidic foods increase pain. Avoid tomatoes, citrus fruits, pickles, and other acidic foods and beverages to reduce symptoms.
3. You’re grinding your teeth at night; this can expose dentin and allow irritants access to nerve tissue. Ask your dentist about a custom night guard.
4. Tooth-whitening ingredients in your toothpaste, mouthwash, or other products could be causing sensitivity. If you’re suspicious, try switching brands.
5. Alcohol or other mouthwash ingredients are causing sensitivity. Try a neutral rinse, or don’t use mouthwash at all.
6. You have receding gums due to gum disease. Your dentist can help by applying a sealant and treating the gum inflammation.
7. You’ve recently had a dental procedure. Some sensitivity after a root canal, extraction, or filling is common. If it continues, see your dentist to rule out infection.
8. You have a cracked or chipped tooth. See your dentist as soon as possible. In some cases, sensitivity can turn to severe pain if the damage is left untreated.
9. Decay is present around the edges of a filling. Old fillings may fracture or leak, and acids and bacteria can lead to enamel breakdown. In most cases, replacing the filling will solve the problem.
Since tooth sensitivity can be due to serious underlying problems, it’s important to seek professional evaluation. Your dentist may recommend special toothpastes or fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and reduce sensation.

Some musicians have the misfortune to discover, at a certain point in their careers, that it is possible to lose everything. Anderson .Paak had learned this harsh lesson twice over before he had graduated from high school.
It all happened in Oxnard, California. His mother – a Korean-war orphan, raised in Compton – built up a successful organic strawberry business that enabled the family to move from a one-bedroom apartment into a five-bedroom mansion. Brandon Paak Anderson thus enjoyed a privileged adolescence, until El Niño devastated the crop two years running and plunged his mother into bankruptcy. She remarried and made another small fortune as a professional gambler until she was prosecuted for undeclared winnings. This time she lost all her money and went to jail for seven-and-a-half years. These whiplash reversals of fortune have left her son with a keen sense of the contingency of life. | 2019-04-26T06:51:59 | https://news.publicel.net/2019/04/13/anderson-paak-people-are-like-how-are-you-not-on-crack-cocaine/ |
On behalf of The Law Office of Michael J. Joshi on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recently reported its concern over the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in public safety workers nationwide. If you are a firefighter or an emergency medical technician in Missouri, you might be alarmed to learn that your chances of developing MSD are five times higher than that of most workers in other industries. In its National Occupational Research Agenda for the public safety sector, NIOSH published the agency's objectives to address employee safety in this sector.
Although the occupational safety and health of all public workers traditionally fell in one sector, safety authorities say law enforcement, fire services, corrections, wildland fire services and emergency medical services face unique health and safety issues. You might find comfort in learning about the objectives to do more research and develop strategies to protect public safety workers.
Your occupation poses many hazards, but MSDs, cardiovascular diseases, auto accidents and workplace violence will receive particular attention. NIOSH says additional research will define risk factors and establish interventions to limit occupational illnesses and injuries.
Safety authorities will then evaluate all new technologies to determine effectiveness.
There is typically little time to look out for yourself while trying to save the lives of others.
Along with these risks, you could face aggression and violence at any time during your shifts. Although correctional officers frequently face assault risks, all safety officers could be victims of workplace violence.
Although you face high levels of risk in your job as a public safety official, you need not to concern yourself about the mounting medical bills and lost wages. The Missouri workers' compensation insurance program has your back. You can claim benefits to cover those financial losses, and an attorney with experience in fighting for the rights of injured public safety workers can navigate the benefits claim on your behalf. | 2019-04-23T22:52:24 | https://www.joshilaw.com/blog/2019/03/public-safety-workers-face-unique-health-and-safety-risks.shtml |
RRD: There are three words for this, one is,”spin” & the other two are a compound word whose mentionable part is ”bull”. One must ask why Team Obama thinks that Americans will permit them to redefine “recovery” downward to mean increased unemployment,higher poverty rates,& having more Americans on food stamps and welfare. Evidently Americans are supposed to give up their hopes and their dreams so Obama can feel good. After all he wants to be President,isn’t that all that matters. Obama needn’t do anything to merit reelection, his mere presence on tv is his gift to us. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/80584.html?hp=l1 ”Asked on NBC’s “Today” show whether Americans were better off, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter was definitive. “Absolutely,” said Cutter, listing statistics about rising unemployment and declining wages in the six months before Obama took office. “By any measure, the country has moved forward over the last four years. It might not be as fast as some people would have hoped, [but] the president agrees with that, he knows we need to do more.” “The answer is we are better off,” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chairman of the Democratic National Convention, said on CBS’s “This Morning.” “We were losing 800,000 jobs a month, we lost 3.5 million jobs, the mortgage lending crisis was creating a foreclosure problem that we hadn’t seen since probably the Great Depression … We’ve had 29 consecutive months of growth in private-sector jobs… So the answer is yes, we are better off.” RRD: How can one have job growth if Unemployment is higher? Answer words mean whatever we wish them to mean. “Absolutely,” said Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse on CNN’s “Starting Point.” “The truth is, though, is that the American people know, we were literally a plane that was heading, the trajectory was towards the ground when the president took over. He got the stick and pulled us up out of that decline.” RRD: If Obama pulled us out of the decline how is it that he has added trillions to the debt and we now have fewer jobs after his stimulus? These answers differ from Gov. Martin O’Malley’s (D- Md.) response to the same question Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Asked whether Americans were better off, O’Malley replied, “No, but that’s not the question of this election.” RRD: Really? What is the question? Whether Obama wishes to be re-elected or not?

For most of my early life people would tell me I was too sensitive. They would be mystified by my intense emotional reactions and would often tell me I was taking things too personally. I would become very anxious for no reason, cry around certain people and not know why, or feel very averse to certain places and people but not have any reason for it. I always blamed myself and thought that there was something wrong with me because I didn’t know what was going on.
So for much of my early life I stuffed down what I was feeling and sensing. I would subject myself to situations that felt terrible and people who didn’t feel right because I thought that was the right thing to do. After all, I was just being too sensitive. But even though I didn’t trust myself during those years I always had an accurate intuitive sense. I was dead on about 93% of my hits but I just didn’t listen to them. I thought it would be rude, I thought I wasn’t giving the person a chance, I thought, “I feel annoyed/off/tense/anxious sitting across from this person but let’s date anyways because I could be wrong. . .(sound familiar?)” Thankfully by my early thirties the years of suppression had hit a critical mass. And thankfully, I met a therapist and an energy work teacher who helped me to sort out what was going on.
Being energetically sensitive means you are sensitive to the felt impressions of the universe around you. It isn’t paranormal nor is it a special sixth sense. It is a normal if often unused aspect of our sensory capabilities. You can “sense” things about people, places or even objects. The watchword for energetic sensitivity is “feeling” which includes but is not limited to emotions (emotion is a big topic and of course is not only related to energy, but emotion can be one mode of reading something.) Some people feel energy, like me, some people see images and some people hear words. Often times as we develop our gifts we can perceive in all these senses but will stay with the method that is easiest to us. I will always be predisposed to feel energy, but with practice I can see images as well. It’s a reading of the collective consciousness of which we are all a part. In of themselves, these are big topics, I will go into detail about them in future posts, but this gives you the gist of it.
If you had said any of this to me 10 years ago I would have said you were nuts. I would have said you were nuts because deep down I knew these truths (we all do) but I was too afraid of being seen as “weird” or “flaky.” I was afraid of going out on a limb, being authentic, and trusting myself. I was already a super tall gay man who taught yoga, I didn’t want one more “weird” thing to deal with. Now after a lot of study and a lot of personal experience, I have found what I knew to be true, to be true. I stopped whining at the universe and accepted my interest in these skills. I felt freer, happier, and closer to my purpose in life than I have ever felt.
Reading energy is not difficult, but it does take practice and discernment. You can fool yourself. You can easily try to see what you want to see and approach it will wishful thinking. And you sure as hell can come at it with ego and trying to prove something. Just because energy is real doesn’t mean confirmation bias and psychology are not real. What you need to learn is how to separate your energetic hits from your imagination. You have to learn how to receive impressions rather than look for impressions. You need to learn when to say, “I don’t know.” This means you have to meditate and learn how to connect to your body. You have to be able to watch your own mind and body and feel the subtle differences between energy hits and imagination. All of this requires time and focus and should always be done under the supervision of one or multiple teachers.
You also must realize that there can be multiple causes for common characteristics of being energetically sensitive. For example I have had some level of anxiety my whole life. Some of that was sensing too much energy and some of it was past trauma that I had to work out. You must deal with both the pragmatic and the energetic. This is one of the reasons I always recommend my clients see a therapist if they come to me working with complex emotions. Usually there is an energetic cause, which I work with in different meditations and protection/cleansing techniques, and often there are other psychological causes that must be addressed by a therapist.
These are not special gifts, and I don’t like to use the word gift because it makes these ideas sound like they are reserved for a special few. Anyone can learn to deepen their energetic sensitivity if they are interested in developing that skill. I will say there are people who are probably born more predisposed to reading energy, but anyone can learn to do it. And what you will probably find is that you have been reading energy all your life though totally unaware it was happening. You’ll also discover it’s a lot of fun and adds an enormous depth to your experience of life.
For the last 7 years I have researched, learned about, and studied energetic sensitivity. It has reordered the whole way I see the world and view myself. It has helped me forgive my younger self and put context to the confusing inner world in which I came of age. It has shown me that there is much, much more to the universe than what we perceive with our 5 senses. We live in a universe pulsing with energy, life, and most of all love. We are varied perspectives of the same consciousness meeting each other again and again, life after life, in the ever-expanding ocean of God.
I want you to be an energetically sensitive person who thrives in the world. | 2019-04-21T04:32:20 | http://alexamorosi.com/index.php/easyblog/entry/energetic-sensitivity-what-is-it |

A little gray kitten with a taste for adventure stows away on an airplane, and the daring stunt turns out to be his first step toward becoming … Space Cat! The plane's pilot, Captain Fred Stone, names his fuzzy new friend Flyball and welcomes him to an experimental station set up in the middle of the desert. Flyball enjoys supervising the station's workers and takes particular interest in the big rocket ship that he's not allowed to explore. Regardless of the rules, the kitty is determined to hitch another ride, and before you know it, Flyball's wearing a custom-made pressurized suit and headed for the Moon.
This new edition of a charmingly illustrated storybook from 1952 is the first of a four-book series starring the intrepid feline known as Space Cat. Young readers will delight in taking a look at space exploration from Flyball's point of view and following his escapades across the solar system.

"Cambridge's design-build process worked remarkably well for the Reservoir Woods parking project. Their collaborative efforts with our design and construction management teams played a vital role in the development of a successful strategy for the garage's screening, additionally providing a cost-effective building solution."
- Peter Darby AIA, Associate and Project Manager, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Inc.
Reservoir Woods, a 120-acre office complex, required an aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective strategy for cladding a new 871-space open parking structure. A Cambridge Architectural mesh system achieved both the visual and budget requirements, while providing numerous other unique benefits through the application of woven metal.
Reservoir Woods' system provides outstanding functionality. For example, the combined open area of the mesh cladding creates a natural ventilator. Noxious car exhaust is efficiently expelled and replaced with fresh air. On sunny days, the same metal fabric acts as a solar shade. At night - unlike parking garage louvers - the metal fabrics' transparency provides high visibility into the garage, enhancing the safety of people and property. Attached with sturdy Eclipse hardware and Cambridge engineered clips, the metal fabric also creates a code-approved fall protection barrier.
By partnering with Cambridge during the design phase of the project - which had a fixed budget with a specific design concept - the architect and owner were able to maximize savings. Cambridge was instrumental in pattern selection and layout of patterns to increase visual impact while reducing expenses. Small-framed panels were replaced with large panels in tension to dramatically reduce the cost of heavy structural supports. These changes allowed for increased coverage of the garage within a fixed budget.
Unlike closed wall cladding, the open area characteristic of Cambridge metal fabric maintained open structure benefits, such as the elimination of a costly HVAC system and significant reductions of fire sprinkler requirements. Cambridge systems materials are 100% recyclable and feature a high volume of recycled content. They are made to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance required. | 2019-04-19T00:21:58 | https://cambridgearchitectural.com/projects/reservoir-woods |

Thank you, mrdav. This is my all-time favorite version of Acrobat before the bloat. It never nags about opening PDFs made by newer versions of Acrobat, and it still manages to open most. Its Distiller will also embed Type 1 subsets without them needing to be installed in the system Fonts folder. Very nice.
Don't worry, MTT, I always upload all my files to the internal server (eventually) provided they are under 400 MB. This one is in the "To Upload" folder on my Desktop awaiting my attention. | 2019-04-21T05:05:33 | http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/adobe-acrobat-4 |

FLAMBOYANT businessman Phillip Chiyangwa has had part of his upmarket Chisora Village in Harare's The Grange suburb attached after his company Padley Enterprises Pvt Ltd failed to pay damages worth US$609 115 to the Grange Residents' Association for failing to service stands.
Padley Enterprises is Chiyangwa's property development company that purchased a 60-hectare plot of land in The Grange. The plot was subdivided into 2 000-square-metre stands and sold to individuals.
According to High Court documents, Chiyangwa lost the property to the Grange Residents' Association, a group of residents who purchased residential stands from the company during the period extending from 2007.
In terms of various agreements of sale concluded by Padley Investments and its clients, it was supposed to service the property development by way of providing roads, storm water reticulation and waterworks, among other things. Court papers state that Padley Investments breached the terms of the agreements and, despite notice of the breach, the company failed to rectify the anomaly.
On September 27 last year, High Court judge Justice Owen Tagu ruled that the defendant, Padley Enterprises Pvt Ltd, pay the Grange Residents' Association US$609 115 on or before December 31 2017.
In the event of default, Tagu said: ". . . the defendant's property wherever situate be and is hereby declared executable and the sheriff is authorised to dispose of the same to satisfy the damages."
Padley Enterprises failed to pay the sum, resulting in the remaining unsold stands in Chisora Village being attached as shown by the High Court Sheriff's notice of attachment of immovable property dated February 8 2018.
The Grange Residents Association was represented by Tafadzwa Mugabe.
Mugabe said the stands would be sold by public auction.
"It is true Chiyangwa's Chisora village has been attached and because they will be sold by public auction I cannot really say how much they are worth," said Mugabe.
According to the court documents, Padley Enterprises at first denied the liability of paying damages until November 2015 when at a pre-trial conference before then High Court judge Priscilla Chigumba the parties entered a deed of settlement and signed off on an order by consent.
Court documents show that Padley Enterprises was arguing that some of the residential stands were purchased during the Zimbabwean dollar era and the engaged contractor, Bitumen Construction Services, failed to complete the initial works due to the escalating costs arising from hyper-inflation obtaining at the time.
Some of the terms of the deed of settlement which was signed in 2015 were: "That the defendant is unconditionally liable for specific performance to the plaintiff and its membership by the way of development, servicing and attendant works at Sub Division C of the Grange in terms of the agreements of sale made and entered into by the parties or alternatively to pay, in damages in lieu of defendant's performance, the objective value of performance in money equivalent to costs of specific performance aforementioned by a mutually agreed third party."
Other terms were: "That the defendant was supposed to unconditionally elect to pay damages in lieu of specific performance. That the issues of the quantum of damages in lieu of specific performance and the liability for costs of this action are referred to trial."
At the trial one of the plaintiff witnesses, Stanley Nyevere, narrated what the defendant was supposed to do and produced five quotations from different contractors. The defendant did not object to the production of the documents.
The quotations were as follows: Storm Property Developments US$571 110, Clockmate Investments Civil and Building contractors US$722 454, Tencraft Construction Civil Engineering US$506 748, US$830 284 and Tensor Systems US$781 449. | 2019-04-19T22:19:01 | https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-129302.html |
People turn to health coaches for help in making lifestyle changes stick.
On the field, sports coaches help athletes perform at peak levels.
In a similar manner, various types of coaches help everyday people navigate problems or issues in different areas of life—including ways to make lasting lifestyle changes designed to promote better health and well-being.
Nowadays, there seem to be coaches for everything: Life coaches who help people set and achieve goals in their professional and personal lives; business coaches who help people set and achieve the vision for growing or improving their businesses; and financial coaches who help people learn to change their behaviors regarding money to save more and reduce their debt. This explains why the estimated market value for personal coaching was $1.02 billion in 2016, compared with $707 million in 2011.
One fast-growing area of coaching involves helping people implement the types of lifestyle changes that promote better health.
Part of this growth is being driven by an increasing emphasis on preventative measures as a way to hold down healthcare costs. Changing demographics also plays a role: There are now more than 70 million Baby Boomers in the US, people who have reached the age when trying to stay healthy becomes an increasingly important priority.
If you’re thinking about using a health coach, it’s important to know what they provide and what they don’t, what credentials they should have and how to find someone who meets your needs.
Health coaching isn’t the same as wellness or life coaching.
“Wellness coaching is guidance and inspiration provided to otherwise ‘healthy’ individuals who desire to maintain or improve their overall general health status, which often includes smoking cessation, increased physical activity, eating well, and general weight management,” says health coach Melinda Huffman, BSN, MS, CCNS, CHC, who practices in the Chattanooga area.
Helping clients focus on the positive aspects of change is crucial.
Health and wellness coaches are needed more than ever. More than three-quarters of all clinic and hospital visits are attributed to unrelenting stress and the impact of poor lifestyle choices, according to Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, CWP, ACC, NBC-HWC, who chairs the Integrative Health Studies program at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
Healthcare costs in the US and worldwide are skyrocketing due to the prevalence of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Huffman believes that in response, the healthcare system is transitioning from a focus on the treatment of illness to an increasing emphasis on wellness and prevention.
Besides such settings in which healthcare practitioners dominate, Jordan says that health coaches are also working in private practice, wellness centers, nonprofit community centers, digital health platforms, insurance companies, chronic care management firms and senior centers, as well as in educational and training programs.
While a governing body that oversees health coaching certification doesn’t currently exist, the ICHWC aims to hold the profession to a standard.
“At this time, anyone can call themselves a health coach, although not all health coaches have been certified,” notes Leigh-Ann Webster, NBC-HWC, the ICHWC’s executive director. | 2019-04-23T00:22:10 | http://www.energytimes.com/pages/features/0718/coaches.html |
