There are a lot of conclusions one can draw from those numbers, but I think it’s safe to say that the first thing most of you will notice is this: the Royals’ worst lineup slot this season has been their leadoff hitter.
Or to put it another way, the guy in the lineup who bats the most has also been the guy in the lineup who hits the worst.
There has been a lot of research done on the optimum way to build a lineup, as well as on just how important it is to have an optimum lineup in the first place. Most analysts agree that the difference between the absolute best possible lineup and a poorly-constructed one is rarely more than 20 or 30 runs. On the other hand, 1) 20 or 30 runs means two or three wins, which can be the difference between first and second place; 2) the majority of the difference can be had by prioritizing a few simple things.
The first thing to prioritize is this: let your best hitters bat more often.
The next thing to prioritize is this: put the hitters who get on base ahead of the hitters who can drive them in.
So far this year, in 41 games, the Royals’ worst hitter has batted most often. More than that, the Royals’ leadoff hitter has reached base less often than every other spot in the lineup. That’s an impressive trick. The Royals’ leadoff hitter has a .281 OBP, which is Yuniesque. The Royals don’t lack for hitters who can drive in runners – indeed, the #2 through #7 spots in the lineup all have higher slugging averages than the AL mean. What they lack is the hitter who gets on base ahead of them.
The one thing that the leadoff hitters have brought collectively is speed – they are a perfect 13-for-13 in steal attempts, while no other lineup spot has more than seven. And if this were 1979, people might even say that it was worth putting up with the low OBP to keep the speed at the top of the lineup. I mean, it worked for Omar Moreno.
We know better now. For one thing, if the ultimate goal of any leadoff hitter is to score runs, we can simply look at the total number of times the leadoff hitter has crossed home plate – and despite all those steals, the Royals’ leadoff hitter has scored just 19 runs in 41 games. That’s a horrific number – the leadoff hitter is on pace to score 75 runs all year, and that’s for a mythical leadoff hitter that plays every inning of every game. And that’s with a well above-average middle of the lineup to drive him in.
Or look at it another way. The only inning in the game where you know exactly who is scheduled to bat is the first inning – a well-constructed lineup should score a higher percentage of its runs in the first inning than in any other inning. In 41 games, the Royals have scored 14 runs in the first inning – 0.34 runs per inning. That’s 35% lower than their average of 0.52 runs per inning. In the second inning – when the middle of the lineup is generally due up – the Royals have scored 24 runs.
By comparison, the Royals’ opponents have scored 36 runs in the first inning. After one inning, the Royals have led just five times, but have trailed 16 times.
Suffice it to say, the Royals have had no success to speak of from the leadoff spot, and this one weakness has led to a dysfunctional offense that has hamstrung the Royals’ ability to score early.
You may recall that when Hosmer was called up, I suggested that he bat leadoff. This led to a discussion with Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John on 810 WHB, with Nate suggesting that for clubhouse reasons it wasn’t practical to lead off with Hosmer, but that you might be able to do it with Gordon. Which was fine with me. At this stage of their careers, Hosmer and Gordon are pretty similar offensive players – left-handed hitters who can hit for a good average, will take a walk, and have power to the gaps if not to the bleachers, and while neither one is a threat for 40 steals, they both have the speed to take the extra base and occasionally catch the opponents napping with a steal.
If anything, from what we’ve seen from Hosmer so far, he probably has more home run power than the re-tooled Gordon. In which case he might be the better candidate for the #3 hole.
This isn’t the ideal lineup – any lineup with Getz in it can’t be called “ideal” – but it’s close. In a world without relievers, an ideal lineup would probably have Hosmer batting second – the most controversial finding of lineup analysis, but one I firmly believe, is that you want your best hitter to bat second, not third. But a real lineup has to split up the lefties and righties, and this lineup does that pretty well. I’d flip-flop Betemit and Cabrera – Betemit gets on base more, and if you bat him higher in the lineup, you can get more at-bats out of him before pulling him for defense in the late innings. But otherwise it’s pretty good.
What’s really interesting about the lineup is that Butler has moved down to fifth. I can’t speak to the psychological issues here; if Butler views this as a demotion and pouts, that could be a problem. (Remember, a permanent move to DH combined with a lineup demotion just sparked a huge controversy in New York.) But if Butler is okay with batting fifth, I actually like the move a lot.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, you don’t want a low-OBP slugger in the #5 hole. Why is that? Because the #5 hitter is most likely to lead off the second inning. If Butler doesn’t bat in the first inning, he’s going to bat first or second in the second inning, where his OBP skills come into play. And if he does at in the first inning, it’s likely to be with two outs, which takes his GIDP skills out of play.
This change in the lineup isn’t going to be worth a run a game, or a quarter of a run a game; it might be worth a tenth of a run per game. But every run counts. Teams pay millions of dollars for players who might help them score 10 or 15 runs more per season. Tonight the Royals are getting a similar boost without paying a dime.
So kudos to Ned Yost for doing the unthinkable and listening to the blogs and sports talk radio. (Or coming up with a blog/sports talk radio idea on his own, which would be equally impressive.) Let’s just hope he has the conviction to stick with an unconventional, but more effective, lineup all season. | 2019-04-22T09:04:10 | http://www.ranyontheroyals.com/2011_05_15_archive.html |
During their first televised debate, the two Democrats vying to represent Massachusetts’ Seventh District saved their toughest words for President Trump and his administration, instead of each other.
US Representative Michael E. Capuano and Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley said Trump’s foreign policy — which has elevated relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and led to public rebukes of longtime allies like Britain and France — has made the country less safe.
“Donald Trump is the biggest threat on every issue we can think of,” Capuano said.
“I think the biggest threat to us is Donald Trump because we are losing our global standing in the world because of his erratic and chaotic policy making,” Pressley said.
Capuano, a 10-term incumbent, is facing a challenge from Pressley, the first black woman elected to the Boston City Council. The two are vying to represent a majority-minority congressional district that includes most of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Milton, Randolph, and Somerville.
Their debate, which was filmed Thursday, airs at 11 a.m. Sunday on WCVB-TV’s “On the Record” with hosts Janet Wu and Ed Harding. The news station allowed the Globe to view a recording of the debate before it aired.
Trump came up repeatedly during the 30-minute debate, as Capuano and Pressley blasted the president and his administration on issues including foreign policy and immigration.
Capuano said that while Russia and China work to undermine US democracy, Trump is damaging longstanding relationships with allies.
“To sit there and poke an eye in your allies [who] have helped defend you, that you have stood next to for generations, is just ludicrous in this dangerous world,” Capuano said.
Pressley, who has called for the defunding and abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the administration’s “zero-tolerance” policies target immigrants who are entering the United States after fleeing violence and poverty.
She said some immigrants living in the district now avoid taking their children to community health centers or picking them up from school, out of concern they’ll be arrested.
“Immigrants and refugees are living under real fear right now, palpable fear, in the Seventh Congressional District,” Pressley said.
Capuano said he has worked to stop Trump policies enforced by ICE.
Both said they believe Trump could face impeachment after Special Counsel Robert Mueller completes his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I hope so,” Pressley said.
”Yes, I think it might be possible,” Capuano said.
The two candidates shared many positions on questions put to them during the debate.
Both support “safe injection” sites, which would allow users to take drugs under medical supervision, in order to avoid overdosing.
They also both supported athletes’ right to kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality against African-Americans. Capuano said the athletes have a right to freedom of speech, and Pressley said “I stand in solidarity” with the protesting athletes.
Pressley said she agreed with Capuano when he said it appeared that Trump’s strategy to denuclearize North Korea wasn’t working, after news reports that the country was still manufacturing nuclear weapons.
At one point, Capuano complimented Pressley’s work on the Boston City Council and called her a friend.
The harshest exchange between the two Democrats — relatively speaking — came as Capuano highlighted his work in Congress, which he said includes votes against the Iraq War and Patriot Act, and securing funding for housing development and projects like the Green Line Extension.
Capuano said his work has won him the support of groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Planned Parenthood.
“I think that tells you more about the work I’ve done, the priorities I have, than anything I can tell you,” Capuano said.
She pointed to stark economic inequality in the district, comparing differences in income and life expectancy in Cambridge versus Roxbury. | 2019-04-18T17:07:31 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/08/04/first-debate-capuano-and-pressley-save-toughest-hits-for-trump/JiOejCsPthuxruNj1pK2YM/story.html |
Hirokawa M, Kuma S, Miyauchi A, Qian ZR, Nakasono M, Sano T, Kakudo K. Morules in cribriform-morular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: Immunohistochemical characteristics and distinction from squamous metaplasia. APMIS 2004;112:275–82.
Morules are a diagnostic clue to the cribriform-morular variant (C-MV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma, and are superficially similar to squamous metaplasia. In order to clarify the histogenesis of morules and differentiate them from squamous metaplasia, we immunohistochemically compared the morules in five cases of C-MV with squamous metaplasia in six cases of diffuse sclerosing variant (DSV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The squamous metaplastic cells were immunopositive for low- and high-molecular-weight cytokeratin, whereas the morular cells were negative or focally positive. Vimentin-positive cells were observed focally in the morules and squamous metaplasia, except for one case of CMV that showed intense positivity. The morular cells showed weak cytoplasmic positivity for beta-catenin, and the cell membrane was not highlighted. Some nuclei of the morular cells were also positive for this antibody. Beta-catenin was intensively positive along the cell membrane of the metaplastic cells, and did not react against the nuclei or cytoplasm. Bcl-2 was positive in the morular cells, but negative in the metaplastic cells. S-100 protein-positive dendritic cells were observed in the metaplastic nests, but not in the morules. We argue that morules appear in connection with nuclear and cytoplasmic aberrant localization of beta-catenin, and are not an early form of squamous metaplasia. | 2019-04-24T21:03:28 | https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/mksg/apm/2004/00000112/f0020004/art00008 |
We are a small boutique insurance consultancy in Oakland, CA with almost 30 years in the business helping businesses develop and take care if their employees. Our background is working with very large employers and leveraging those skills to bring quality benefits and services to those in the small and mid-sized segment. We also work with individuals who are separating from service and need help in managing those transitions, or those whose benefit plans do not meet their individual needs and are searching for more resources.
Our founder, Patrick Burns, has been a leader in the industry, serving for many years in leadership positions in the industries association, the National Association of Health Underwriters. He currently is on the NAHU Board of Trustees, and has served for a number of years as President of the local Golden Gate Chapter as well as the California chapter. Patrick has spoken often at industry events on current legislation, industry issues and compliance. He has testified as an expert witness in insurance industry litigation and in the State Senate Health Committee in California on Self-funded plan issues, Covered California and Agency issues. He currently is on the Foundation Board of North East Medical Services (NEMS), a community health care organization, and is the Chair of the CAHU foundation and the CAHU PAC.
Our goal has been to offer a variety of services to all levels of employers, from full HR outsourcing to simple employee benefit plan consultation, to the assistance in buying a term life insurance plan. Because we are a small shop, we do not have the requirements of a large organization in terms of legacy systems, overhead and turnover, and therefore our fees are small or non-existent. But at the same time, we can produce the same level of service and excellence as many of our largest competitors. | 2019-04-21T02:50:23 | http://burnsemployeebenefits.com/about-us/ |
Anyone who has experienced a panic attack will tell you just how unpleasant they are. Panic attacks are different from moments of panic. Those instances where you’re frantically rushing to get somewhere so you won’t be late or that feeling you get when you lost something important, are not necessarily what you would feel during a panic attack, but some of the symptoms can be similar. Before I get into the science of panic attacks, let me tell you a bit about my experience. My anxiety journey starts at the beginning of grade nine; I was so filled with anxious thoughts and feelings that it would present itself through physical symptoms. For a while, it was never fully clear why I felt the way I did, and it wasn’t until I saw my family doctor and did some self-reflection that I realized I had an anxiety disorder. After finally having a reason as to why I was feeling the way I did - and with the help of my mom (aka my superhero) I was able to push past the feelings I had and learn how to manage them better instead of the other way around. The last two years of high school went much better than my first two years, and I thought everything was sunshine and rainbows (with the occasional storm cloud, of course). I graduated from high school and went off to University, but the added pressure it brought made me realized my anxiety never really left. I am currently in my last year of University and I can tell there has been a big increase in my anxiety level - so much so that I have developed a panic disorder. I wouldn’t say University is the direct cause of my increased anxiety and panic, but I think the way I handled stressful situations led to my anxiety increasing. Sometimes it seems simply living in today’s world is anxiety and panic-inducing enough. Although I have a lot of sunshine and rainbow moments, every day my anxiety storm cloud likes to peep through. Sometimes, there will be a reason and other times a panic attack will come out of nowhere. Below, I will list some of the things I do when panic attacks like to creep up on me, but first, let’s learn about what they even are in the first place!
Panic attacks are an interesting phenomenon and I found that once I understood more about them, it was easier to prepare for them. You never really know you have a panic disorder until you actually have a panic attack, but even then, it doesn’t necessarily develop into a disorder. Only a trained professional can diagnose you, but the common method of diagnosis is based on an individual meeting the symptoms as set out within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The DSM-5 is a large book (we’re talking almost a thousand pages) that is published by the American Psychiatric Association, and which lists mental disorders and their accompanying symptoms. The first edition was published in 1952, and thankfully since then, it has been continually updated with more inclusive terminology. The most recent version (#5) was released in 2013, and in it a panic disorder is defined as an “anxiety disorder based primarily on the occurrence of panic attacks, which are recurrent and often unexpected.” There are many symptoms associated with a panic disorder, however, with one of my majors being in Psychology, I have come to learn that what is within the DSM is not the be-all-end-all. There are a variety of factors that can determine how one feels, and just because your symptoms correlate with the symptoms within the DSM-5, does not mean it is a for sure thing. This is why the role of a mental health professional is extremely important when deciphering symptoms and disorders that may be present in your life, and I highly encourage everyone to take control of their mental health and seek help. Side note: yes, I took Psychology and have an anxiety disorder. I guess you could say I was already well prepared for the subject.
There are many reasons why one may develop a panic disorder, and you can look at it from a biopsychosocial approach. Biologically, there are neurotransmitters that send chemical messages full of information throughout your brain, and when they are not balanced, panic disorder symptoms can often arise. There are many other brain areas that can contribute to those symptoms as well, so this is just one of the theories that scientists have discovered. If you would like to learn more about these brain areas, this journal article published in the Psychiatric Clinics of North America medical journal goes into depth about various neural pathways, signals, and brain areas that correlate with mood and anxiety disorders. Psychologically, anxiety disorders have a high rate of comorbidity, which means that anxiety disorders and panic disorders can often go hand-in-hand. With that being the case, it is important to see what other disorders might be present if you do display panic disorder symptoms. Socially, your environment can play a big role in how you feel physically and emotionally, which is why if you are able to take the time to calm things down in your environment, you can limit the stimulants that might cause uneasiness or stress.
Now that the science lesson is over, let me tell you about my panic attacks. Folks might experience various symptoms when they have a panic attack, but for me the symptoms present as heart-pounding, trembling, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, loss of control, hot flashes, and derealization feelings all at once; sounds exhausting, doesn’t it? There is a theory as to why we experience these types of symptoms and it is referred to as the fight or flight response. Fight refers to the feeling of being in a stressful, life or death situation and choosing to fight for your life, while flight refers to getting the heck out of there and running for your life. Of course, we might not actually be “fighting or flighting” for our lives in this modern society as compared to prehistoric cave dwellers choosing what to do when a hungry tiger wanted to attack them, but the feelings that biologically arise can be similar. The sympathetic nervous system sends messages to your adrenal glands, which are responsible for stress hormones, and these hormones lead to symptoms that one would experience - such as the ones I do. Although I am not faced in a situation with a hungry tiger, my “tiger”, if you will, are crowded and small spaces.
If I am in a crowded space for a long period of time and there is not an easy and accessible way to get out, my flight response kicks into gear in these situations and I can predict that I will most likely have a panic attack. Of course, other times I will have a panic attack for no reason, such as if I’m at the grocery store or even driving! Although there are situations that I know will bring one on, the instances where it is unpredictable, I have prepared myself and am ready to stop it in its tracks (I guess you could say I’m using my “fight” response here). Below are the things I always bring with me that cater to the symptoms I have.
The first thing that I carry with me at all times are essential oils, particularly a de-stressing oil. The roll-on I value with my life has natural ingredients like lavender and chamomile that are proven to have calming properties (if you are interested, it can be purchased here). When I notice different triggers in my surroundings, I put the oil on my wrist, rub it in, and take deep breaths whilst smelling it. I notice in an instant that some of my symptoms start to go away, such as my increased heart rate. Even my friends have started asking for my essential oil roll on and we are always in shock every time our stressful symptoms start to diminish. Although it seems like magic, there are scientific studies conducted on lavender oil that prove it works to combat anxiety symptoms. This study in particular, found that it causes a decrease in blood pressure, heart rate, and skin temperature, and increased feelings of relaxation and alertness. If you have never tried essential oils and aromatherapy, I highly suggest checking it out and seeing if this natural stress reduction route works to help tackle at least some of the symptoms you may experience.
The next thing that I always have on me, which I’m sure you do too, is my phone. In my previous article, which you can find here, I discuss ways that technology has helped my anxiety symptoms. Utilizing the game apps that I have on my phone has really helped me to distract myself when I desperately need to get out of my own thoughts. I notice in some cases that right before I have a panic attack, my mind is like a hamster on a wheel (multiply that by a thousand), and the fear and accompanying symptoms start to present themselves full force. If I instantly distract myself by doing something that takes a lot of brain power, I notice that I don’t have time to focus on my fears or increasing symptoms because my mind is fully focusing on something else, which in this case would be making sure I don’t lose the game I am playing. The games that you might often scroll past when you’re on the app store, can often be a big help to distract you. After I play a couple of minutes on my chosen game, I notice my symptoms start to subside a bit and make them a bit more manageable. If I do notice my symptoms start to reappear after I play a game and go back to the panic-inducing environment, I always remind myself that if a game took my symptoms away, then there is nothing actually wrong with me, and I know I can always go back to the game if I need to. Of course, there are times when being on your phone is just not possible, and in those times I like to try mental distraction techniques. The one I mainly use is counting backwards from 100 by 3’s. This task is not the easiest thing to do, and that’s the point; using your brainpower to think through the task instead of your anxiety and panic is a good way to distract yourself. I find that counting backwards while taking deep breaths is the best way to carry this step out, otherwise, you will do what I used to do and count down extremely fast when the whole point is to try and take your time and think.
One of the symptoms I always experience when I have anxiety and panic attacks is overheating. Overheating and possibly fainting is also one of my fears, so it doesn’t help when it’s one of my panic attack symptoms. There have been studies, such as this one, that found splashing cold water on your face can help during a panic attack by slowing your heart rate. However, I for one am not into that, especially when I took the time to do my makeup that morning, but I do like the idea of cooling. Instead, I always like to carry a mini fan (a portable, mini, battery-operated fan that acts as an A/C unit that will provide you with blowing cold air). Although it might seem strange to whip out a fan, I promise you it helps cool your body temperature, especially when it’s the summertime and the thirty-degree weather does not mix well with your anxiety-induced elevated body temperature. I once went to an outside concert and was surrounded by thousands of people, and all my friends took turns with the fan, so it really comes in handy! Similar to our phone, if you find it might not be the most appropriate time to take out a fan, I will excuse myself and go to the bathroom and put my hands under cold water. Cooling my hands down automatically lowers my body temperature and it can help with my fear of overheating. Often times just take that breather and cooling down, really helps!
The last thing I bring with me, and this might sound like a cliché, is a ready and prepared mindset. A lot of what you do on your own time at home can help in situations when you’re in public and a panic attack occurs. I like to write and poetry is my way of getting everything that is inside my head out in the universe - whether it’s for other people to read or for my eyes only. Keeping things bottled up inside is not healthy and speaking to someone you trust can make you feel a lot better. But there are times when you don’t want everyone to know what you’re feeling, and that’s okay! I suggest doing what I do and take a couple of minutes to just write what you’re feeling, even if you rip the paper to shreds after. Knowing your thoughts are finally out of your head and on paper is such a freeing feeling! If you take time for yourself, you will notice that things that might have stressed you out before and caused anxiety are not as bad anymore. Taking care of your mental health in between your moments of panic can help you manage those situations better. It’s like going to the store before you run out of something.
Of course, there are tons of other things I like to carry with me, like my favourite snack and mints that I throw in my bag that can sometimes help me feel better when I’m in a stressful situation. However, the suggestions above help me the most and I encourage you to personalize your bag with things that will help with your symptoms. Being well-prepared is not giving into your anxiety or panic, but it is you acknowledging that panic attacks do happen in your life, and if there are things that can make you feel better, you should embrace it! It demonstrates that you’re thinking and caring about yourself. If there are certain things you bring along with you, let Shameless know so we can assemble one big virtual bag of tips and tricks that we can all use!

On Monday, New York City took another big step towards equal rights for transgender people. Mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order allowing trans individuals to use city-owned bathrooms and locker rooms based on the gender with which they identify, rather than the gender they were assigned at birth. These new bathroom laws are popping up in states across the country, but they're getting defeated in plenty of states too because of a persistent myth. So here's the one thing you need to know about transgender bathroom laws: they don't lead to higher incidences of sexual assault.
Some opponents of these laws like to promulgate the idea that, if transgender people are allowed t0 use the bathrooms in which they feel comfortable, rapists will don dresses and wigs en masse in some sort of nefarious twist on Some Like It Hot. They'll pretend to be transgender so they can sneak into women's rooms and assault unsuspecting bathroom-goers. Or, as Republican former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said, ever-so-hilariously, in 2015, "Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE." Really great guy, that one.
But there's a major problem with the panic. The evidence just doesn't support these claims.
Media Matters reached out to experts in twelve states with anti-discriminatory bathroom laws to ask if the incidences of sexual assault had increased since the laws were enacted, and the answer was a resounding "no." Or, more specifically, as Christopher Burke, the chief of the police force in Cambridge, MA, said to them in an email exchange, "There have been no incidents of men dressing up as women to commit crimes in female bathrooms and using the city ordinance as a defense."
Or, in the words of Amy Sneirson, the Executive Director of the Maine Human Rights Commission, "I know that this concern persists but I personally have not seen any factual basis for it."
Or as Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder told Media Matters, sexual assault due to the new bathroom laws has been "not even remotely" a problem, and the idea that men will pretend to be transgender women to sneak into women's restrooms "sounds a little silly."
The list goes on and on. According to The Huffington Post, of the seventeen states and 200 cities that have these sorts of ordinances, exactly zero of them have reported increased bathroom sexual assault as a result.
This is not to say that sexual assaults in bathrooms never happen, because they do. But they're generally not committed by men disguised as women. And it's not like these new laws would somehow legalize bathroom sexual assault. Hey, what happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom, guys! No, it would still be illegal, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
You know where sexual assault does happen a lot? To transgender people. Sometimes in bathrooms, sometimes out of them. If the debate about these bathroom laws shows us anything, it's that transphobia is alive and well.
So if non-discrimination ordinances allow transgender people to answer nature's call in a place where they actually feel comfortable, rather than somewhere they're afraid of being beaten or harassed, here's hoping that the rest of the country soon follows New York's new lead. | 2019-04-23T00:26:05 | https://www.romper.com/p/the-one-thing-you-should-know-about-the-new-nyc-bathroom-bill-for-transgender-people-6915 |
What Does Big Papi’s Last Season Mean?
There is no doubt with this being Big Papi’s last season in baseball that the Red Sox will be Dustin Pedroia’s team, but can he handle it like Papi has? Ortiz has had a number of milestones in Boston, including being a part of the last three championship teams. Through his days with Manny and Pedro and the rest of the team, Big Papi has become an iconic leader in Boston, and that is going to be hard to lose. There is something about the city of Boston that makes athletes want to stay once they’re here, in all of the major sports.
I was 10 years old when the Sox got the Big Man in 2003 and I thought they had the greatest team ever. Team consisted of: Captain Varitek, the Cave Man Johnny Damon, and Cowboy Kevin Millar, the one and only Nomar, Manny being Manny, Pedro, Trot Nixon, Schilling, Derek Lowe and more. This team was put together from a combination of Theo Epstein and Terry Francona, who was a World Series winning coach in his first season with the Sox in 2004.
Let’s take a look on the memories we’ve had with Papi: 31 homeruns in his first season with the team, losing in the ALCS. 2004 bench clearing brawl with the Yankees, hitting 445 homeruns in a Red Sox uniform, the watch and bat flipping after home runs, 500th career homerun. Many more memories in his 13 seasons with the Sox. But after the Boston Marathon bombings, he addressed the city on the mound at Fenway and I think we all remember and will always remember what he concluded, “This is our F***ing City”.
David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia have contributed to the team in different ways and it is hard to compare the two as they are completely different players, but when you think of leadership, captain status, and the familiar face on the team and to the fans, are they that much different? When you think of the Red Sox you think of Big Papi and Pedey. Pedroia is more known for his defense and consistency at second base, earning four Gold Glove honors. Ortiz is more known for his consistency at the DH position and getting on base, earning RBI’s, and of course smashing bombs out of Fenway Park either over the Monster into the train tracks, or rounding Pesky’s Pole. Pedroia has his moments at the plate, don’t get me wrong. He will hit a random HR when no one expects it or get on base when it is most needed. They both equally contribute to their team, and their teammates know that.
At some point next to the statues of: Johnny Pesky, Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, and Dom DiMaggio, there will be a Big Papi next to them. The legacy that he is going to leave in Boston is amazing to think about and to be in his shoes it’s something that you probably never want to end. But as we all know, all good things come to an end. I used to wonder when David Ortiz does retire if the Red Sox will give Wally the Green Monster a buddy and make another mascot as “The Big Papi”. To me, that would be the ultimate honor. Everyone knows who David Ortiz is or “Big Papi” and just as we all had to be introduced to Wally, generations to come can be introduced to the Big Papi. | 2019-04-25T22:00:03 | https://www.bostonsbigfour.com/what-does-big-papis-last-season-mean/ |

Minimize Risks of Cyber Exposure in Your Critical Infrastructure Your cyber exposure risk is changing from relatively static to relatively dynamic. This change is being brought about by the emergence of devops work flows, containerised applications, and the pushing of workloads to the cloud. With these changes it is virtually impossible to properly assess your cyber risk exposure. This session will explain the problem in depth, then detail how multiple modern vulnerability assessment technologies can be applied to accurately measure your risk exposure in near real time. The end result is that you will be able to positively address risk at both the development phase and at the operational phase. | 2019-04-22T06:58:06 | https://www.tenable.com/events/cloud-expo-asia-hong-kong |
I decided to finaly start the build page of my 3rd Max and share the story of the Max that I've been literaly searching for over a year.
Previous owner seemed very passionate about the Max also and has done quite a bit of maintnance, as well as repairs and included a pile of receipts. He was really amazing to deal with. Even shipped items to me after the purchase that he had laying at his house, and did all that at his own cost. Very honest and the most pleasant car transaction I've ever have been a part of.
According to the paperwork, I'm the forth owner of this Max.
Car has been a work in progress and has not been plated yet.

He had pics up at first, but they were tiny. He's working on it!
Get them pictures up .
Thats correct Sir, but seriously im struggling here. Why does photobucket put these pics so small. Ive never had that problem. I upload them into photobucket large then i link the image here and they look tiny?
No idea. I don't have any issues with Photobucket.
and so with that happening, I was left with the option of rebuilding from bottom up and cleaning all the catalytic material out the tired motor, re-ring the bottom end and put new timing components and heads....I opted for option "B" as the damage was too extensive.
This called for a heart transplant. '04 motor out '07 motor in with just over 5800km on the motor Im unsure if it made the first warranty oil service to the dealer and crashed on the way out or perhaps it never made it. The replacement motor was very expensive, but its was clean, cylinder bore crosshatch patterns were as good as new, as if the bores were honed yesterday, and compression was all goooooood.

Damn, this maxima is sure keeping you busy huh.. It'll be well worth it in the end bro.. Keep up the good work..
Damn, you really took on a project, but that's just more reason to love it after you're done with it.
The donor car was 250 miles each way....road trip.
The entire roof (Including curtain airbags headliner and compass mirror) was cut of the donor car at the pillars via sawzall and a portable generator. Rear door was also removed.

Man you are getting down and dirty , I need to get off my hight horse and do the 6 speed swap .
It has been a lot of work considering my 10 hour a day schedule. By far WAY more then I expected.
I just wanted to fix this Max up and make it a "DD" as I already have toys that are modded and fast....Ive driven plenty of 6gens over the years coming to the shop....so I knew what was offered. The plan was not to make this one faster but rather for the enjoyment of the amazing blend of luxury & performance that the 6 speed offers right out of the box.
The initial plan was to do only a few mods. These included.
Once I got the donor car pieces back to shop it was time to start disassembly. (while the disassembly process continued after work hours, on a few days I didnt work late at the shop I was working on the headlights and tailights at home.
Tailights were sprayed with Tinted Clear....2 coats.
Headlights were split, painted and 2 amber led strips applied ( one for park and second for turn indicators, along with a White 3156 bulb in the parking light, and an ember turn signal 9 LED puck. Also a White 3156 For the Daytime Running Lights. Also 6000K HID fogs to match new 6000k headlights.

Do Hens Products Add Value to a Hens Event?
Firstly what are hens products? Hens products tend to be novelty like items used to create atmosphere and add to the decoration and theme of a hens event, which is typically held in honor of the bride a week or so before her big day. Hens Products can be anything you like, naughty or nice, unique or something you have seen before. They should be something that makes the event memorable for not only the bride but all those in attendance. After all everyone wants a hens party to remember so make sure you chose products that make a statement and draw attention.
There are a lot of hens products out on the market at the moment, not all are nasty, there are some very clever, funny products which will definitely add value to any party whether it’s a hens or other themed event.
There are many events celebrated throughout the year including birthdays, new arrivals, anniversaries, engagements etc so to differentiate and promote exactly what you are celebrating you need a theme and products to create this point of difference. Just as birthdays tend to have balloons and cakes, hens events can have their own novelties to make attractive and stand out.
Hens products tend to usually set the trend for the night/ function and lets everyone know what’s in store for them.
Today traditional parties can consist of a night out on the town with plenty to drink, entertainment including strippers, dinner at restaurants themed with fun hens products and the bride ‘guest of honour’ decked out in some elaborate gear. Bridesmaids organise dares for the bride to accomplish on the night and it becomes known to the public the bride is to wed in coming weeks.
For those of you who are not so wild there are many options awaiting including being pampered at a day spa, masseurs and beauticians can come to your home,intimate cocktail party, high tea, cooking classes but still at all these events the venues are themed with novelties and decorations to remind them of what everyone is celebrating.
You can clearly see now that Hens Products definitely add value to any hens event, Bridal Shower or Bachelorette Party. Now all you have to decide is which products to purchase but it can be guaranteed whatever you chose it will make the hens night a blast and create memories which will last a life time. | 2019-04-20T14:27:15 | http://tuximaingoti.us/do-hens-products-add-value-to-a-hens-event.html |

Great replacement remote. I needed it for a tv set for 'commercial' use, like a hotel. This remote enabled my tv to receive tv channels via antenna. I recommend it for anyone with similar issues.
by suzanne on April 22, 2017.
This was the exact remote I've been looking for! I was able to convert 4 (former) hotel TVs from "commercial mode" to "consumer mode" - all in about 5 minutes. What was once "e-waste", are now nice, usable TVs! Thanks!
by David on April 04, 2017.
Useful if you do not have originally green remote. It comes with code to knock out the hotel mode completely so the hotel TV will work with a normal domestic remote from the menu button. Although for me following instructions did not work, but did work it out. (Menu code number menu then unplug) i have not listed code in this review as it would not be fair to the supplier. I did have the green remote but had never come across this code before. So for me the code was worth the cost.

by Juan on October 23, 2016.
Need to familiarise a little bit as button arrangements are not 100% identical as the original remote. Otherwise, it's the best.
by Antonius on October 20, 2016.
Your product did not work as indicated on your sight. When I open the set up menu, there are two lines that address the channels that are available.
by Jim on October 08, 2016.
Shipping was fast and it works perfectly with my TV! It was pretty much: point the remote at the TV, type in the code provided and it was ready to go. Thank you!
by Jennifer on September 28, 2016.
I wondered if this remote would do all the functions of the original green master remote which is no longer available. To my surprise it works perfectly and in some cases is easier to use than the original. For anyone needing this type of Philips hospitality remote, this is the one you want. Solid construction and should last the life of the set.

This remote worked perfectly to unlock my Philips hospitality TV. No issues or complaints. But I must complement the OUTSTANDING customer service I received when my shipment was delayed by our US Postal Service. I was immediately shipped a replacement without question. This type of attention and excellent service means everything when you are ordering over the internet. I definitely recommend this company and product.

The sun in our solar system does a great job nourishing life on Earth, but a new study shows that it might not be the best candidate for the job. Edward Guinan and collaborators at Villanova University in Pennsylvania compared different types of stars in probability for hosting a planet that can sustain carbon-based life. The group published their result in August at the International Astronomical Union meeting in Rio de Janeiro and in an online publication at arXiv.org on November 10, 2009. The study may provide future direction in searching for extraterrestrial life. | 2019-04-25T13:54:29 | https://www.jyi.org/2009-december/category/Features |

Initial results are visible immediately after treatment, but the real results appear over 2–3 months as new collagen builds, gradually lifting, tightening and improving treated areas.
While Ultherapy® does not completely duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, it’s a great alternative for patients not ready for surgery or for those who want to continue building collagen after a surgical lift.
Results are natural, gradual and noticeable. In one study, researchers found that Ultherapy® treatment increased the rate of collagen production in skin samples by an average of 50%.
In another clinical study, patients reported looking years younger* after their Ultherapy treatment.
Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that lifts and tightens your neck, chin and brow, and improves ne lines and wrinkles on the chest.
The length of the treatment will depend on the area(s) being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure takes 60–90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
After an Ultherapy® procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately without having to follow any special post-treatment measures.
You may see some initial effects, but the ultimate results will take place over 2–3 months, as tired collagen is replaced by the growth of new collagen.
As skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments may help to give you more control over the aging process. For many patients, it’s comforting to know that Ultherapy is scienti cally proven to increase collagen production in their skin.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited, indicating that the collagen-building process has begun. Comfort levels vary, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. Your practitioner will make the experience as pleasant as possible, and most patients leave feeling comfortable and excited about the results to come.
The FDA-cleared Ultherapy procedure has been used safely in over 700,000 treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy has been used safely in the medical eld for more than 50 years. In addition, every Ultherapy practitioner receives extensive procedural training and tools, so you can feel con dent in choosing Ultherapy. | 2019-04-25T18:12:21 | https://www.facial-oralsurgeryva.com/medical-spa/ultherapy/ |

1. Based on the input received on the meeting with the suppliers of refrigeration-units on 21 September 2011 the PIEK-board has decided that PIEK-certification in the future will be limited to units which stay within the 60dB(A)-limit without manual intervention.
2. We will not prescribe any specification regarding the cooling-capacity. PIEK is al about the prevention of noise, and the capacity-issue is and stays a responsibility of both the manufacturer and their customers for their specific needs.
3. The measure as stated under point 1 is expected to go into force for newly certified equipment on 1 July 2012, and for equipment already certified on 1 January 2013. For existing units (so the units which have been sold in the past) there will be no effect from this new protocol.
4. The definition of the measure as stated under point 1 will be further discussed with the Advisory board. This will focus on the exact definition and further details. This will be incorporated in the revision of the TNO testingprotocol.
5. On 15 December 2010 the Advisory Board has decided that the whole of a refrigeration-unit has to be tested to receive certification. This means that for refrigeration-units powered by a separate generator the combination of both generator and cooling unit has to be tested in order to obtain a PIEK-certificate. For equipment already certified this will go into force on 1 July 2012. | 2019-04-18T22:58:20 | https://www.piek-international.com/english/register/suppliers/default.asp?category=6 |

In this example, you'll learn to overload increment ++ and decrement -- operators in C++.
In this tutorial, increment ++ and decrements -- operator are overloaded in best possible way, i.e., increase the value of a data member by 1 if ++ operator operates on an object and decrease value of data member by 1 if -- operator is used.
Initially when the object obj is declared, the value of data member i for object obj is 0 (constructor initializes i to 0).
When ++ operator is operated on obj, operator function void operator++( ) is invoked which increases the value of data member i to 1.
It is because the return type of operator function in above program is void.
Here is the little modification of above program so that you can use code obj1 = ++obj.
This program is similar to the one above.
The only difference is that, the return type of operator function is Check in this case which allows to use both codes ++obj; obj1 = ++obj;. It is because, temp returned from operator function is stored in object obj.
Since, the return type of operator function is Check, you can also assign the value of obj to another object.
Notice that, = (assignment operator) does not need to be overloaded because this operator is already overloaded in C++ library.
Overloading of increment operator up to this point is only true if it is used in prefix form.
This is the modification of above program to make this work both for prefix form and postfix form.
// Notice int inside barcket which indicates postfix increment.
// Assigns value of obj to obj1, only then operator function is called.
When increment operator is overloaded in prefix form; Check operator ++ () is called but, when increment operator is overloaded in postfix form; Check operator ++ (int) is invoked.
Notice, the int inside bracket. This int gives information to the compiler that it is the postfix version of operator.
Don't confuse this int doesn't indicate integer.
Decrement operator can be overloaded in similar way as increment operator.
// Notice int inside barcket which indicates postfix decrement.
Also, unary operators like: !, ~ etc can be overloaded in similar manner. | 2019-04-21T10:13:57 | https://www.programiz.com/cpp-programming/increment-decrement-operator-overloading |

Today is just another day where America’s opioid epidemic claims another life.
While many Americans witness the devastation of the epidemic in their communities, we also see the effects on Television and in the news. Mac Miller and Demi Lovato are just two of the most recent overdoses that made more than just the local paper.
After both of these deaths, Twitter exploded with sympathy, celebrities who overdose are “brave” and “heros”. This is in starch contrast with the addicts in everyday America.
Everyday addicts are “bums”, “fiends”,“worthless” and “criminals”. They’re people who knew what was coming to them and did it anyway.
So what’s the deal with this double standard? Where does it come from? Should celebrities get the same treatment as everyday Americans?
People have personal connection with celebrities, every 19 year old kid(myself included) grew up on Mac Miller, or watched Demi Lovato on Disney Channel.
Every Mac album has a song on it that brings me back to a specific part of high school, and when he died it didn’t feel like I lost someone a thousand miles away from me, it felt like I lost a friend. To a lot of people, this was the first time they’d lost a friend to drug addiction.
So they got a glimpse of how painful addiction is, and they called him brave because that’s what he is. He’s brave, he fought a hard fight, and he lost and it’s the worst.
The solution to this double standard isn’t to stop treating celebrities like hero’s, it’s to stop treating addicts in your hometown like they’re villains When an addict overdoses in your hometown, they aren’t a “bum” or a “fiend” or “worthless” or a “criminal”.
Those addicts are brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers in friends, and when it’s outside of your community they’re a rapper or a pop star.
I write this article from nothing but experience, when the first of your friends overdose and you’re seventeen, it’s not a reminder of why you didn’t chose to do heroin, it’s a reminder of how lucky you were to not have been born in his situation.
America’s opioid addiction isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and the policies in place make it even harder for someone to break the cycle of addiction.
The War on Drugs isn’t a war fought with policies on the side of the government, and a war fought with lives on the side of its people.
Addiction is a disease not a crime, and the opioid epidemic will never end as long as the government (which is made by us through civic engagement) sloppily attempts to put an end to it through the enforcement of laws.
The term in and out of prison literally wouldn’t exist if prison did the things did what they were supposed to do.
No matter what you think the cause of the opioid epidemic is, the first step to solving it is to change the perception of the public about addiction. Every addict deserves to be treated like Demi Lovato and Mac Miller when they overdose.
In my dreams, when someone says they’re a former-addict, people don’t see it as a sign that they have poor decision making skills, it’s seen as a sign that someone survived one of the hardest things someone can go through.
It’s easy for people affected so personally by addiction to be upset when they see singers getting praise for something that they know got their loved one got condemned for. Especially when they loved them for so much more than their musical talents.
Remember that when a celebrity gets praise for their overdose, it’s the first step in changing the minds of the public about addiction. Remember that it’s the first step in ending the opioid epidemic.
And if you’re someone whose used to chastising addicts in their community, maybe remember that while your favorite rapper overdosed, the person you called a bum was somebody’s favorite brother. | 2019-04-23T14:04:58 | https://umassdtorch.com/2018/11/12/the-easy-fix-to-the-double-standard-of-drug-addictions/ |
From 12-14 September, over 4,500 local, regional and business leaders gathered on the east coast of the US for the Global Climate Action Summit convened by California Governor Jerry Brown.
392 investors, with $32 trillion under management, will work to ensure a low-carbon transformation of the global economy with the urgency required to meet the challenge.
The summit also included UN special envoy for climate action and former mayor of New-York City Michael Bloomberg and Miguel Arias Cañete, European Commissioner for Climate and Energy, launching a new partnership to boost Europe’s clean energy ambitions. The partnership will build on the Commission’s platform for coal regions that find themselves in transition. Launched in December 2017, the tool provides economic and technological support for 41 coal-dependent regions located in 12 European countries. With this new partnership, the Bloomberg Foundation will fund research projects aim to improve the platform’s database and enable more targeted actions.
Regional, local and business leaders, referred to as ‘non-state actors’ in UN jargon, are proving crucial to climate action as UN talks between countries over the definition of a rulebook to apply the Paris Agreement are currently embroiled in technical struggles. They also show that they can overtake unambitious, if not opposing, national governments in meeting the Paris Agreement target as a report presented 13 September by Jerry Brown and Michael Bloomberg finds. It finds that US cities, states, businesses and market forces are poised to trim carbon emissions to 17% below 2005 levels by 2025. That compares with the 26% to 28% US commitment under the Paris deal. These stakeholders are part of America’s Pledge, a climate action group with more than 3,000 US cities, states, businesses and other groups attempting to deliver on America’s Paris goal, despite president Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw the US from the agreement. America’s Pledge now claims it is within “striking distance” of fulfilling the US climate commitment. The group is optimistic to gather enough momentum at every level of society to hinder federal efforts to stop progress on reducing emissions.
The call to action will be handed over to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during climate week, which will take place in New York from 24 to 30 September. On Friday, it was handed over to Executive Secretary of UNFCCC Patricia Espinosa. | 2019-04-20T22:18:34 | https://library.ecc-platform.org/news/lack-climate-action-ambition-governments-balanced-pivotal-non-state-actors |
Fudgy black bean brownies that satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping things healthier: no refined sugar, grain-free, and 125 calories per brownie!
These days, it’s about satisfying that sweet tooth while keeping thing on the healthier side. And this fudgy black bean brownie recipe is CRAZY good, and was gobbled up by the whole family!
you can make them in the blender or a food processor, no bowls needed!
This fudgy black bean brownie recipe is adapted from my Coconut Black Bean Brownie Muffins, but I wanted to make them refined sugar free, and also in bar form. Over the years, I’ve refined this process a bit, and don’t bother with a second bowl anymore. Simply blend everything up and pour right into the baking dish!
As you can see, it’s OH SO EASY to make these brownies!
Do black bean brownies taste like black beans? NOPE. Honestly, there is no way I’d ever guess that these were made with black beans, and I have tricked my kids (who let’s be honest are the real food critics), too!
Do I need to add the espresso powder? No, you don’t. You can swap for instant coffee if you have it, or leave it out. It simply adds to the chocolatey flavor of this recipe.
Can I make this black bean brownies recipe vegan? I bet you could replace the eggs with flax eggs, however I have not yet tested. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out!
Can I freeze this black bean brownies recipe? I bet you could, however I haven’t tried. I highly recommend sticking wax or parchment paper between them if you do try it so they don’t stick together.
looking for more healthy treats? Try this Healthy Pumpkin Bread, this Healthy Zucchini Bread, or this Creamy Chocolate Dessert Hummus!
Fudgy black bean brownies that satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping things healthier: no refined sugar, grain-free, and packed with protein!
Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining with parchment. Spray the bottom of the pan to help the paper stick, then clip it to the dish with binder clips (remove before baking).
Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a blender or 7 cup food processor.
Blend until smooth and completely combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Scatter chocolate chips over top.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until center is set and no longer jiggles.
Cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
I looked over all the black bean brownie recipes online, and I thought these had the most healthful ingredients. I prepared these as written (well, I did substitute 1/4 C. xylitol for 1/4 C. of the maple syrup), and they are to die for! Thank you so much!
So happy you enjoyed, and thank you for sharing that it worked with Xylitol! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to leave a review, Daria!
BEST brownies I’ve ever tasted! They’re super fudgy and simple to make. I threw in the ingredients I had on hand: a 540 mL can of black beans (which is a bit more than 1 1/2 cups), honey, vanilla, heaping scoop of cocoa, no espresso powder as I didn’t have any, eggs, vegetable oil as that’s what I had handy, no chocolate chips. This recipe took all of 5 minutes to make while the baby napped. They turned out amazing and I feel good enjoying this chocolaty treat knowing that I’m getting a little extra protein and iron. Thanks for the recipe!
Holy moly, what a HUGE compliment! Thanks so much for your review, Jennifer!
Good question! I haven’t tried (they always disappear first!). Let me know if you give it a try.
Hi Denise! Can the coconut oil be substituted with any oil? Unfortunate coconut allergy sufferer here… <– But your recipe looks perfect and delicious!
Hi Alicia! I have only tried with coconut oil but I bet vegetable oil could work in these? Let me know if you give it a try! | 2019-04-21T12:36:09 | https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/black-bean-brownies/ |
They say that frosting makes the cake. Think of the roof as your home’s frosting, and you’ll be amazed at the options to enhance the beauty of your Maryland house, all the while keeping it safe and dry.
And, if you think roofing is all about black shingles, think again. Come take a look at some options that will change your whole outlook, starting at the top. Your new roof is a long-term investment. Get it done right, but have a little bit of fun with your choice of shingle. You may be surprised to see what’s out there.
Today’s residential roofing shingles are completely out of the box. In addition to standard shingles in traditional colors, the industry now offers products designed to complement your home’s architectural style. Choices include 3D architectural shingles to lend your roof dimension and depth. Other choices mimic roofing materials of the past. Picture your home with a slate roof. Or perhaps you’d like the more southwestern feel of an adobe roof. Maybe a more rustic wooden roof? Take your pick.
While we’ve all admired tile and slate roofs, we’ve cringed at the thought of maintenance for an artisan roof. Not anymore. Today’s stunning architectural roofs have the same durability and functionality as more traditional choices, and none of the upkeep vintage materials demand. You have the best of both worlds.
We’re all familiar with black or brown shingles with a sprinkling of white, but there’s so much more. Take a drive through Maryland to Columbia and Baltimore and look up for inspiration. Roofing shingles come in a variety of shades to complement your home. Choose earthy browns and blacks, or cool shades of gray. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Take a look at the reds and greens. The choice is yours. Notice how a dark roof enhances a lighter house, and vice versa. Steer away from monochromatic combinations to breathe new life into your space. Not sure what would look best? Consult with an experienced roofing professional to learn more.
Talk To Your Local Roofing Professional!
Curious to know what your home would look like with a new roof? You can add a virtual new roof here. This online, virtual program allows you to play with shingle options from the comfort of your own home. If you’d like to see the products up close and personal, talk with a roofing professional. They’ll be able to provide you with samples and product specifications so that you can make an informed decision. And that really is the frosting on the cake. | 2019-04-26T13:36:16 | https://www.marylandroofers.com/blog/2018/how-to-choose-roofing-shingles-to-enhance-your-home/ |

Jimmy Jean-Louis stole the show at the 2011 African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) when he made an imposing showing like never before in the history of the awards.
The Haitian actor was not only nominated for his lead role in ‘Sinking Sands’ but was also a special Hollywood guest of honour for the ceremony, along with American actor Nate Parker. In addition, he also starred in two other nominated films namely, ‘Precipice’ and ‘In America: The Story of the Soul Sisters’.
All three of the films that Jimmy starred in won awards on the night, and each time the winner was announced, Jimmy accompanied him on stage to pick up the award. ‘In America: The Story of the Soul Sisters’ by Rahman Oladigbolu (Nigeria/USA) won Best Film for African Abroad and ‘Precipice’ by Julius Amedume (Ghana/UK) won Best Diaspora Short Film. Sinking sands won three awards including Best Costume, Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Screenplay and since the director of the movie couldn’t attend, Jimmy picked up the awards on her behalf. Therefore, Jimmy got on stage for five times – more than any other person on the night! | 2019-04-19T14:28:25 | http://www.ghanaforum.com/archive/index.php/t-4446.html?s=732a291b0e79166ec8ebe24d17dfb4e3 |

So your planning to visit Rome in November! Here is a quick list of some things to do and some events taking place in the city this year.
Firstly the weather in November begins to cool with the winter approaching. The month will start with average temperatures around 15°C and dropping to approx 10°C by the end of the month. November in Rome you can also expect some rain with the odd shower so dont forget your rain coat and umbrella. Although a little cooler the city is great for getting out and visiting the sights as the lines are usually a little shorter and the sights less crowded.
Another advantage of visiting Rome in November is that the accomodation rates in November usually fall to their lowest yearly rates so you may even find a hotel usually outside of your budget offering a reasonable price.
Starting off in November on the 1st is All Saints Day. On this public holiday, Italians remember their deceased loved ones by visiting graves and cemeteries. This solemn occasion sees many Romans visiting churches and even visiting Rome's catacombs. You may find that churches not usually open are open on All Saints Day. Please note that on All Saints Day the Vatican Museums will be closed and its probably worth trying to make your visit there on the 30th October or on Tuesday the 4th November if possible as the day prior to All Saints and Monday the 3rd of November is notoriously busy at the museums. They will still be open however, so if these are the only days you can go be ready for the crowds. Otherwise if you wish to book a tour and skip the lines you can find out more info at Vatican Museums Tour.
Originating from Turin in the north of Italy Subsonica is an Italian electronic rock band. They formed in 1996 and have had 6 studio albums. A great way to come to Italy and enjoy some of the local music while your here if it suits your taste. They will be playing some of the classic hits such as Microchip emozionale, "Tutti i miei sbagli" ("All my mistakes") and "Discolabirinto" ("Discolabyrinth").
To reach Palalottomatica is quite simple. It's an indoor arena which holds approx 10,000 spectators. From Termini Station you will need to take the Metro Line B (blue line) in the direction of Laurentina. The stop you will need to get off at is EUR Palasport and then the Arena is a 5/10 minute walk away. For further information and to book a ticket you can contact Around Rome Tours.
An Evening with JOHN LEGEND-The All Of Me Tour ROMA - Tuesday 11th November @ Teatro Sistina, Via Sistina 129.
The 11th of November offers you the chance to see Grammy award winner John Legend live in concert. This R&B soul singer songwriter has collaborated with artists such as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West and the two musicians collaborated on one another's demos. This November tour 'An Evening with John Legend:"The All of Me Tour,"' has currently sold out in over 60 cities in the US and features John in an intimate setting highlighted by guitar/vocal accompaniment as well as a string quartet. So be sure to book early if you want to find a ticket.
The concert will be taking place at Teatro Sistina which is right in the city centre. The nearest Metro stop is BARBERINI, line A. From the nearest Metro set out to approximately 200 meters in the direction of Via Sistina. For further information and to book a ticket you can contact Around Rome Tours.
The winter time in Rome is a great time to wrap up in the evening and take a guided tour of the city centre. A 3 hour tour would take you around many of the Ancient City monuments visiting Piazza Barberini, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain and finishing off at Campo de Fiori which is a great place to then sit down for a drink. Taking a guided tour will cost €30 per person and you will learn all the history and insights of the city with groups usually no bigger than 15 people. Once you finally reach the end of the tour you may find yourself wanting a good drink. Most of the bars in Campo de Fiori offer the mushroom heaters to fight the chilly winter weather so you will still be able to sit out in the piazza and people watch!
For further info and to book a winter walking tour of the city you can visit the following link Rome by Night Walking Tour.
For Soccer/Football fans this clash of two Italian Titans could be very important in deciding which way this years Scudetto goes. With a vastly improved Roma in 2013 they will be hoping to go for the title this year along with regular contenders, Inter. Either way it goes this should be an excellent clash with a packed Stadio Olimpico of up to 80,000 fans. Whether you are a football fan or not it is definately a spectacle to behold during your time in the capital. For further information and to book a ticket you can contact Around Rome Tour. | 2019-04-20T00:16:39 | http://www.aroundrometours.com/whats-on-in-rome-this-november-2014-art35-uid1.htm |

Tamarindo serves as the home base for many surf trips to Costa Rica. The town itself is somewhat crowded by Costa Rican standards but the abundance of waves, surf hotels, inns, and surf shops make it an easy place to start your trip. The mains breaks in town are: Tamarindo Rivermouth (El Estero), Tamarindo Beach Break, Pico Pequeno, Henry's Point and a little north of town is Playa Grande. Just on the south side of town is the super fun rivermouth break of Langosta. There are also several boat operators here that will take you out to Witch's Rock or Ollie's Point, the iconic surf spots made famous in the Endless Summer II.

I am updating this post because like a dork, I forgot my Cook’s Notes with some crucial notes about WHY I choose Pomona’s Pectin and only that for my jam and preserve making.
My stepmom said to me more than once, “There’s nothing wrong with toast and jam for dinner!” She was brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant. Adding to her charms, Val always had the best preserves; whether they were homemade or sourced, they were always exactly what you wanted to eat. This is one of the many reasons I felt incomparably blessed to have her in my life. I’m beyond happy that the first year I made this, she was still here to eat some of it. We dined that evening on Ginger Peach Preserves, freshly made and toasted oatmeal bread, and Earl Grey tea.
Before anyone says, “I don’t can!” let me mention that this recipe stores beautifully in the refrigerator for up to a month but I’d also like to remind you that I’ve provided a canning basics tutorial for the most beginner of beginning canners right here. Preserves and jams are among the best and most popular starter canning projects for a good reason; they’re very forgiving in terms of mistakes. Even a poorly made preserve is generally still very tasty and edible, so brush up that courage and give it a try!
There is such joy in admiring a line of steaming hot jars on a towel lined counter top. It feels like money in the bank for cold, blowy, winter days.
Because when you have jam, all that remains between you and a perfectly acceptable dinner is a loaf of bread and I’ve plenty of recipes to help you out there. Feel free to peruse the nifty, shiny fresh Recipe Index or use my brand-spanking new search function (both found here!) to find the perfect bread to sit beneath your fabulous Ginger Peach Preserves.
You’ll notice, I’m sure, two odd additions to the recipe; calcium water and Pomona’s Universal Pectin. I do NOT have a recommended substitution for these, as I stand by them 100%. The calcium water comes WITH the Pomona’s, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing them separately. I’ll break down for you WHY it is that I only recommend this product.
Pomonas Universal Pectin, unlike most other commercial counterparts, does not contain any weird preservatives or fillers. This is good news.
Pomona’s, unlike most other commercial pectins, allows you creative license to scale up or down any recipe to your heart’s content. If you scale up other pectins, the jams or preserves almost inevitably fail.
Pomona’s also allows you to make low/no sugar jams, jellies, and preserves with the same product should you wish to do so. If you want to use a grocery store pectin, you’ll need to buy a separate, specialized kind of pectin for that.
Pomona’s lasts forever and has no expiry date as long as it is properly stored.
Pomona’s may seem more expensive if you just compare the box vs. box prices, but with the Pomona’s you can make between 3 and 5 batches of your favourite jam and with the major brand pectin, you get one batch per box. That makes Pomona’s comparable in all cases and cheaper in most!
Bring a canner of water to a boil and sterilize your jars and rings. Put your lids in hot water to wait for you.
Cut your peaches in half, remove the pits and peel them. Cut the peaches into even sized pieces; about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size. Add the peach pieces, water, and piece of fresh ginger to a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, cover the pan, drop the heat to medium low, and simmer for 4 minutes or until the peaches are softened but still have shape and body to them. Remove the mixture from the heat, fish the ginger piece from the peaches, and scoop 4 cups of the cooked peaches into a liquid measuring cup. Add the dried ginger, lemon juice and calcium water and stir well. You can keep any excess for topping ice cream!
Whisk the sugar and pectin powder together in a bowl until even. Set that aside.
Pour the measured 4 cups of peaches back into the saucepan and bring to a full, rolling boil over high heat. While stirring constantly, slowly add in and incorporate the sugar/pectin mixture. Stir enthusiastically for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin and return the preserves to boiling. As soon as they return to a full boil, remove the pan from the heat.
You can pour into jars and store in the refrigerator for up to a month, or you can can the preserves for shelf stability.
After sterilizing the jars, use a ladle to fill the hot jars to within 1/4 inch of the rim of the jar. Wipe down the rims with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar, put on lids, screw the rings to fingertip tight. Carefully lower the jars into the boiling canner water, add the lid to the canner, and return to a boil. As soon as it reaches a full, rolling boil, process for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the jars rest in the canner for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack or towel lined counter top to cool, undisturbed, for 12 to 24 hours. After cooling, wipe clean, label, and store on a shelf.
These sound lovely! Such a yummy combination!
I will also comment and say that the new font is difficult to read – especially words that have letters that go below the line (I am sure there is a technical term that any of my English Major friends could tell me). Jams looks like a brand of dog food, and I was concerned at first about what you were telling us to make.
Thank you for your input. I’m wondering if your screen is set to display small or whether it’s a personal preference issue at hand?
Beautiful post! Looks absolutely delicious! I also love the “Try Them!” plates! Where did you find them?! They’d be perfect for my son!
I only have one of the plates and found it at a thrift shop on Martha’s Vineyard. Sorry I can’t be more help on that!
Your stepmom was such a smart lady. But I don’t need the toast. Just pass me a spoon.
This sounds yummy! Can you tell me the yield on this recipe?
You betcha! It’s about 2 pints give or take!
Sounds good. I made a bunch last year with grated ginger. It’s wonderful.
Question, what is “Calcium Water” and do you put that in when you add the 1/4 cup water? Also. Pomona Pectin. The typical grocery store stuff won’t work?
PS: I like the font!
As to the “Calcium Water”?
And I’m glad you like the font!
I love the flavor combo of ginger and peach. Thanks so much for the recipe and the beautiful photos. I have heard great things about Pomona Pectin and know several people who won’t use anything else.
The jam looks delicious. Although I’m in peach country, I don’t know if they can still be found. And, I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love the new search and category features. It will make life so much easier 🙂 Thank you.
LOVE the new blog! And these preserves look delicious!
This looks amazing – love the peach-ginger flavor combination!
So fresh and delicious. It’s almost like eating a whole peach on a slice of toast, only better.
Would it be wrong if I licked the screen? I would eat these right out of the jar!! Someone reallllly needs to teach me how to can!
I think I would spoon this on top of everything!
In Colorado, we are at the end of peach season, but there are still some available. I’ve put up about 60 lbs, and frozen a bunch for pies, but would love to try this recipe I’ve never used Pomona’s, but bought some to try this year. SO, by scaling up, do you mean I can simply double/triple this recipe? I’m thinking peach ginger ice cream in the dead of winter….
That’s what I mean, exactly, Tina! Double, triple, quadruple! You’re limited only by eh size of your jam pot and the length of your spoon!
Hi – I’ve read the recipe over twice and I cannot see where you add the lemon juice, the calcium water, or the ground ginger in the instructions. I’ma wantin to make this soon, so could you please advise? Thanks.
Great question, Diane! I must’ve back spaced through that sentence! I added it back in now, but all three go in to the measured 4 cups of cooked peaches. Thanks for the heads-up!
Why aren’t you my neighbor? You should be my neighbor and give me all your preserves!
But I don’t can! I tease, what a great flavor combination and refrigerator jam will do thank you. Love the new look by the way.
Hi Rebecca, just found your site and its wonderful. I am new to canning and have a couple of questions. When using peaches, right now I only have access to frozen (I checked with Ball and said that this should be ok and was wonder ing also if I could reduce the amount of sugar and/or use honey? Thank you as I would love to give this as presents for the holidays.
Hi Joe- I believe that the frozen peaches should work alright, as long as you thaw them thoroughly before using. The Pomona’s pectin is quite versatile when it comes to adjusting the sweetener. If you buy it, there is an insert in the box that should help you figure out how to tinker with the amount a bit. I hesitate to advise you on that as I haven’t actually tested it with lower sugar. The only concern, as far as I know, is that you’ll want to take care to use enough sugar or honey to dissolve or hold the pectin powder in it before adding to the liquids to prevent clumping.
Will have to try this recipe this summer as we get great local peaches in South Carolina. | 2019-04-25T21:47:40 | https://www.foodiewithfamily.com/ginger-peach-preserves/ |
Amblemead is one of Mt Barker's newest communities, transforming into a peaceful haven in a rapidly growing area. With Stage 1 nearly sold out, civil construction of Stage 2 has now commenced. The features of the development are starting to shine, taking centre stage amongst the hustle and bustle of machinery.
Take the Amblemead Reserve for example - the area will showcase a combination of deciduous and evergreen trees; residents will enjoy the seasonal beauty that the former exposes along with the year-round vision of the leafy eucalyptus' that will line the edge of the pond. Maples and Nyssa trees will create a burst of colour at the entry point whilst Tillia’s are scattered throughout the reserve with larger trees such as the Bunya Pine and the Horse Chestnut creating points of interest within the development.
The street trees are all deciduous, a combination of Maple species, with a red autumn tone -'these will become a feature of Amblemead's neighbourhood streets' says Senior Landscape Architect at Greenhill, Amy Prince.
Amblemead will fast become a favourite destination with the local community as the Reserve and nature playground will soon be ready for our residents to come home to, and relax.
The Amblemead community will eventually be home to 162 homes and just a few hundred people who will connect with each other via the 2 hectares of open spaces, walking trails, boutique shops and neighbourhood centre. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Find out why more people are choosing to come home to Amblemead, we would love to hear from you! | 2019-04-20T22:20:43 | https://www.amblemead.com.au/news-events/news-updates/on-track-for-beautiful-living-at-amblemead |

“Bob Fletcher, a former California agriculture inspector who, ignoring the resentment of neighbors, quit his job in the middle of World War II to manage the fruit farms of Japanese families forced to live in internment camps, died on May 23 in Sacramento. He was 101. . . .
“. . . . Near Sacramento, many of the Japanese who were relocated were farmers who had worked land around the town of Florin since at least the 1890s. Mr. Fletcher, who was single and in his early 30s at the time, knew many of them through his work inspecting fruit for the government. The farmers regarded him as honest, and he respected their operations. . . . | 2019-04-24T02:05:06 | http://sacompassion.net/bob-fletcher-a-compassionate-neighbor/ |
Good morning, boys and girls. Today I want to talk about the kind of love that God gives to you.

This week SVG Attic releashed a new kit called JGW Witches Gather. In this kit I found this totally awesome realistic shaped Skull. I just needed that for my Halloween decorations…..It’s so cool – don’t you think?
It’s made from AC Cardstock in Vanilla. I made some holes in his eyes, nose and ears so light can shine through and covered these with some printed vellum.
My light is a little too bright but I really love this look.
Great job assembling this skull! Lots of little pieces to keep track of 🙂 The addition of the light is an awesome idea! | 2019-04-21T12:15:33 | https://mycreativehideout.com/2017/10/15/scary-skull/ |

There has been a lot of talk from Barack Obama about how he supports children's health insurance. Elect Obama, the American people are being told, and he is going to make certain that every child in America has health insurance. Sounds wonderful-until we hear more of the story.
wanted to ensure that their children did receive health coverage.
Am I the only one who sees a major double standard here? Obama, like most of the rest of the Democratic field, has justly criticised the President for allowing illegal wiretapping and for the new levels of federal intrusion into Americans' lives. Because of the political advantage that can be gained from such criticism, Obama and all the Democrats are harping away at the PATRIOT Act and at the idea of federal surveillance (as if any of them will actually undo all of this if elected). Yet it is perfectly alright for a Democratic administration to force parents to put their children on government health coverage against their will.
The federal government: It is tapping your phone and monitoring your e-mails. Under Obama it will insure your children whether you want it to or not. It is a large, corrupted beast which exists primarily to enhance its own power.
Through Barack Obama's statement we learn the truth about the Democratic view of the threat of unfettered government power. Republican statism is evil and is a threat to your civil liberties. On the other hand, Democrat statism is kind and benevolent and is here to help you, so you had better do exactly as they say. They know what is best for you and your family, while you don't have a clue. They are from the government, and they are here to help you, so they aren't a threat.
The Democratic Party: Our statism is better!
You are correct on everything you've said here.
However, this exemplifies the problem that I would have voting for any of the other Republican candidates for President, aside from Fred Thompson.
BOTH sides -- Republican and Democrat -- are guilty of the "my large federal government is great, but yours is evil". Candidates like Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani would have no problem with big, intrusive government. Theirs would just do different things than what Democrats would do..
To me, neither party has the moral high ground here. Both are equally hypocritical and self-serving when they talk about the evils of what the other party is trying to do to/with the federal government and the Constitution.
Is it any wonder that a person like me is so invested in the idea of Fred Thompson for President and why a person like me is so lost when presented with the idea of someone else becoming President?
I hate to burst your bubble here, but I expect zero progress on the reduction of the federal government under a Thompson administration. Indeed, Fred has certainly not indicated (as has no Republican candidate except Ron Paul, who promises immediate repeal if elected-and I think we can trust that he would-he also won't be elected) that the PATRIOT Act would be repealed or domestic surveillance will end...I do not believe that it would. We are all deluding ourselves if we think otherwise.
The difference between Fred Thompson and the other VIABLE candidates is that I have faith that under a Thompson administration the situation will not get worse. It is a sad situation when we've come to say "I am supporting a candidate because the situation will not worsen." Unfortunately, that's what we've come to.
No disrespect intended, but I have come to take what you say about Senator Thompson with a grain of salt. That's not saying that you are purposefully being facetious, but I would hope that you would understand that I prefer to hear directly from him on pertinent issues.
Regarding the Patriot Act and things such as domestic spying, we'll just have to see what he says.
Regarding reductions in the federal government, your statement would lead me to believe that you haven't heard much of what he's said on the issue. Still, actual reductions are really not in the hands of the executive branch. There are some things he can do, especially with his veto pen, but much of the reduction responsibility comes from Congress.
And John McCain was right tonight with his statements about how Republicans behaved in Congress once they won the majority in 1994. So, to say that a Thompson administration would oversee zero progress for reducing the federal government is 1) misleading and 2) overstated.
We'll see what happens, but as you stated David, there is no such thing as the perfect candidate. And it's interesting that you continue to try to point out supposed Thompson faults in an attempt to show me that he's as faulted as the other Republican candidates...hoping that I will "see the light" and vote for whichever one ends up nominated. Sorry, but that tactic isn't going to work. I think I've been very clear on that.
It's also interesting how you continue to completely fail to address on their merits anything negative that I might have to say about the Republican Party...things such as my initial comment here. If you want my attention, David, please...challenge me on these points and tell me where I'm wrong, if I am, rather than pretending these problems don't exist.
Did you notice in the debate tonight how the other candidates said things such as "I agree with Senator Thompson" on multiple occasions? I counted possibly a half-dozen times that occurred. And not once did any of the other candidates attack Fred on the issues OR on his record.
You couldn't even come close to saying the same thing about any of the other candidates, especially the top-tier ones.
I think that says a LOT about Fred's credentials compared to the others.
Because of Fred's strong federalist views, I don't expect the situation to worsen. You do have to remember that Fred Thompson is a disciple of Howard Baker (it was Senator Baker who first encouraged him to run for President, and Baker who taught him nearly everything he knows about politics), and Baker was the great pragmatist of the Senate (and so remains one). For that reason, I think it is safe to say that the PATRIOT Act isn't going anywhere-but note that Fred is not talking about it, either. Just because it won't fundamentally change doesn't necessarily mean he likes it.
By the way, the audio part of Talkshoe is down. When it comes back up tonight or tomorrow, I am going to do a short show on the debate (I agree that Fred did VERY well.
And you're likely correct re: the Patriot Act. It's one of those "if we lived in a perfect world" sort of things. I would imagine that Fred wouldn't have anything to do with anything of that sort if it could be avoided...but his talk regarding the war on terror has been very pointed. His comments seem to point that he'd prefer to leave Iraq sooner rather than later, but they also point to a view that there is a larger, more global, conflict. In other words, he's (more or less) adopted the original ideas fronted by the Bush Administration before Bush became hyper-focused on Iraq.
Thompson views Iraq as part of the greater conflict, but not as a central part of it.
As for a TalkShoe analysis of the debate, if you'd like a partner for that, I'd be happy to join you.
Also, if you would like to do a sports show this weekend, I would prefer to do it on Saturday night (11pm or later would be fine) if possible. Let me know. | 2019-04-21T00:29:58 | http://oatneyworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/obamas-kinder-gentler-statism.html |
Des Reid’s work “Prelude” is a kaleidoscopic, picturesque view of a starry night portrayed through a classic-rock-like chord progression, a deep indebtedness to jazz, and a developed sense of musical spaciousness. One can hear the Hotel California-like harmonic sequence that is trimmed with less conventional harmonies, a certain homage to Pat Metheny, and a likeness to Pink Floyd’s far-out senses of structure. A song that is based on a loop, the loop is subtly diverse just enough to make the whole thing not boring; rather, each subsequent guitar solo is a different meteor hurtling through the atmosphere, as one looks up at the night sky above. | 2019-04-24T02:45:37 | https://composerstoolbox.wordpress.com/2018/09/29/des-reid-prelude/ |

JIM Shannon MP for Strangford, speaking after meeting Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon with DUP MEP Diane Dodds said: “We had a fruitful meeting where we urged the Fisheries Minister to be firm and resolute in his representation of the fishing industry. The main issues are Nethrops (prawn), haddock and herring and cod.
Alan McCulla MBE, ANIFPO Chief Exexcutive, Strangford MP Jim Shannon, Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon and Diane Dodds MEP pictured at Westminster.
“We pressed the Minister to ask for a roll-over of prawn as the stocks are stable and we are aware that the Republic of Ireland are pressing for an increase so it is our hope that we will be successful in this section which is critical as it employs the most people in our fishing industry and i made clear to Minister Benyon how essential it is for strong representation on this matter.
“Again with haddock and herring we are seeking a rollover despite the Commission suggestion a 25% cut. This is unnecessary and there is evidence to support this.
“Finally on the Cod recovery plan, and although the commission is looking for a slight reduction, we are pushing for a retention of the status quo and use for sentinel fishing.
“We have asked the Minister to be as passionate for retention in the Irish Sea as he is for the North Sea and Europe has recognised that there has been a lot of hard work by the Northern Ireland fishing industry and this must be rewarded to encourage more. The Minister is aware of the main issues – days at sea, flexibility needed and a recognition that fishing is more sustainable today than ever before – they must allow this to be used. | 2019-04-22T22:28:20 | https://downnews.co.uk/shannon-meets-fisheries-minister-at-westminster/ |

The eerie green glow of the kayak against the Xe Bang Fai river obviously enhances the spooky alien feel but the truth is, the river cave Tham Khoun Xe in Laos really looks like a completely different world.

Smartphone makers have churned out watch after watch in hopes of happening upon something game-changing. If nothing else, they’re getting good at making pretty gear. Still, none of them have the clout that horological giant Tag Heuer does, which is why our collective ears perked up when we heard that the Swiss company was making an Android Wear watch. The result is the Tag Heuer Connected, a watch that looks like some of the company’s most iconic models … and works just like every other Android Wear device out there. At $1,500, it’s also the most expensive Android Wear watch around, but — spoiler alert — it’s hardly worth the price.
Mark Zuckerberg, a man who awesomely wears some variation of the exact same thing every single day (genius), is having one hell of an amazing week.

This jump shuffled Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index significantly, boosting Zuckerberg to sixth place with an estimated worth of $47 billion.

Early Intervention came to do Finn’s evaluation on Wednesday morning. For anyone not familiar with EI, it is a free program that comes to your house and helps evaluate and then work with kids who qualify. Kids can qualify for all types of reasons from low birth weight to low income to autism to all types of other things. One of the reasons Finn will go to another program on top of EI is that they really work with all types of developmental issues where Finn’s is pretty specific and needs substantial intervention.
Anyway, so they come to the house, a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and an Orthopedic Therapist (OT) to evaluate Finn in all areas to see if he qualifies. Finn’s deafness automatically qualifies him, but they have to eval all the kids anyway. So they were here for about an hour and a half and when they left I was in such a bad mood. I was irked and I couldn’t figure out why. We have been to so many doctor’s visits and I have spoken to so many experts and usually I am feeling like we are moving forward and happy to have more information. I could not figure out why I was feeling so annoyed. The SLP was very informative and the OT was great- you could tell she just LOVED babies- so what was my problem?
I think it boils down to my Hermione Granger personality- for you non-Harry Potter fans (shame on you for missing out on the best book series ever written), she is a character who, in crisis, is comforted by books and research and who is a bit of a know-it-all and does not take criticism well. I know you are all thinking no, Katie, you are NOTHING like that, but it’s true (haha).
Ok, I get a little carried away in my head sometimes (think JD from Scrubs). The good thing about this is that I’m aware of this perfectionist/controlling personality trait that seems to reach a crescendo when it comes to parenting (oh, and teaching, as any of my colleagues who have had me on their team can attest to, love you guys!). I am also aware that these professionals are just doing their job and trying to HELP me, not judge me. So even though I might get a bit worked up in my head, I need to be able to take the input they give me- whether I already knew it or not- and realize that they, like me, are just trying to do everything possible to make sure Finn develops into a happy, healthy kid. I know that deep down inside, I just need to remind myself of that in the moment.
I totally understand….I get a little sensitive when it comes to people questioning my parenting techniques…..especially the ones that dont have kids of their own…..and we have 2 EI specialists and an OT coming to our house!!! What I find has helped is that I remind myself that they are fortunate enough to be able to see the situation from a different perspective…..sometimes as the parent you are too involved and unable to take that necessary step back in order to have a different view….so I listen to what they have to say….and sometimes I ask for a different idea because although theirs may sound great….I know I can’t pull it off in our current state (taking Ryleigh to school, soccer, guitar, playdates and providing age appropriate activities with A & M while Ryleigh is in school and can’t take over). I look at it this way….their job is to teach me what they know and I may not….and my job is to help them see that in theory the ideas are great, but putting them into practice is a lot harder than it looks!!!! | 2019-04-18T19:00:41 | https://hearstofinn.wordpress.com/2013/06/07/4/ |
2. You need a certain number of people to do programs, duty, rounds, etc.
3. You need a resource in the halls. You might want a ratio like 1 RA per 20 students.
So, you don’t have to do their job and yours? What is your role as a supervisor?
How do I like being supervised?
How do I not like being supervised?
What style works for me?
What are the expectations I hold of myself and my staff?
What do I want to accomplish as a supervisor?
Although I don’t have an answer for you, I also think it is important to explore some different theories. Douglas McGregor developed Theory X and Theory Y to explain workforce motivation in the 1960s. Although this is about workforce motivation, it is important to understand where you stand with these theories because it will likely reveal a great deal about how you supervise.
This theory states that the folks you are supervising are lazy and avoid work because they do not like to work. In this theory, the management tends to become what has become known as “micromanagers.” The supervisors who believe this about their employees think there is a need for a close level of supervision. Also, these supervisors tend to believe that incentives are the way to get employees excited about tasks or goals.
This theory assumes people love their jobs, and these individuals are self-motivated. A supervisor operating under this philosophy may give their staff little supervision because there is a strong trust that these staff members will look for responsibility and take initiative.
Take some time to reflect on these theories and see where you think you fall. Ask yourself why do you think this way? Do you think it is a mix of X and Y? Why do you think it is mostly X?
Personally, I believe it is unrealistic to place people in a box of X and Y. I think a more realistic representation of these theories in practice is that most people will fall somewhere in the middle.
Once you understand your supervisory style—or at least have a general idea of what supervisor you want to be—there are some strategies you can take to enhance your skills and take on a supervisory role.
Lack of communication is one of the quickest ways a team may fall apart. Students will look to you for answers and direction, and it helps to build strong communication between the whole staff. There isn’t only one way to communicate, so I suggest also understanding your communication style and the communication styles of your supervisees. For example, if you’re more of an indirect communicator, make sure you understand how to relate to those who need clearer instruction sooner. It also doesn’t hurt to give everyone a head’s up about your style early on in the year, just so supervisees know what to expect.
Unfortunately, working with students isn’t all rainbows and ice cream cakes for dinner. There will be a couple of necessary times for hard developmental conversations, and they won’t always be the most fun talks to have. However, it’s always good to remember these conversations aren’t to point fingers or make a student feel some sort of shame, but to promote developmental growth. It also helps to hear all sides of the stories before sitting students down when it comes to inter-team conflicts, otherwise you may get stuck in the persecutor-victim-rescuer loop of the drama triangle.
Over the summer, I had the opportunity to work with Housing Orientation programs, and we all received two different color shirts to wear during the summer. My direct supervisor made it a point to wear the same color shirts as us grads and our students because, as she put it, “we’re all on the same team.” Yes, there needs to be a clear distinction between you as a supervisor and your supervisees, but make sure you don’t put yourself on an overarching pedestal to the point that you appear unapproachable.
One of the best gifts student affairs professionals have is application of theory. It’s always helpful to be able to pinpoint where a student is coming from in their development and their experiences. Obviously, we’re not going to hold up charts of Chickering’s theory to our students’ faces and tell them they’re performing a certain way because they’re in the “Managing Emotions” stage. But in order to aid our students and supervise them in an individual level, it helps to know where they’re coming from.
…But make sure you don’t solely use theory to explain behaviors.
Theories are great, but often times there are students who do. A student may be in different stages at once, and we can’t dismiss past experiences and other factors. Plus, often times we don’t have the time to sit down and thumb through our Student Development book or remember such-and-such theories when we’re focusing on students’ issues, and we need to meet with a student in ten minutes to talk about certain behaviors. Theory helps, but it shouldn’t be the end-all for supervising.
Get to know your staff members.
Know when their birthdays are! Be aware of some of their favorite things to do! At the very least, have more than just a vague relocation of their names and faces. Some of my best supervisors had a wide range of supervision styles, but they all managed to treat me like a person and got to know a little bit more about me. A little bit of effort goes a long way, and students will appreciate being more than just another employee.
There are some days that you’ll want to take a more “Y” approach and will come out with a misguided “X.” You may accidently give student staff the answer, or end up micromanaging because you forgot to delegate that day. Know that it’s okay! There is no such thing as the “perfect supervisor,” and as we all go about learning our supervising styles, we’re bound to hit a couple of bumps along the way. Just take a deep breathe, remember to learn from your mistakes, and take what you’ve learned to improve to your best ability.
One thing to remember is that at the end of the day, you are still supervising human beings, so I think we have to be careful when we think supervising student staff members are different. I think the environment and context of supervision is different than something you would find at a fast food restaurant or a retail shop. When you are supervising students, I think the biggest thing you need to realize is that they came to your institution for a degree. As a student affairs professional, how are you being a resource on their journey to that degree? Now, you obviously do not earn the degree for them, but you want to see how you can make sure they succeed.
Other than that, remember that supervision is always a learning experience and you can adjust as you go along your journey. | 2019-04-22T04:08:02 | https://www.naspa.org/constituent-groups/posts/supervision |
Lisa O’Carroll joins Jon henley to discuss the question of rights for both EU residence in the UK and UK residents in the EU, in light of recent events.
There’s currently no guarantee of status for the 3 million EU nationals currently living in the UK after Brexit. It’s been reported that the UK government is now deliberately trying to discourage EU nationals from applying for permanent residence in Britain. Rather than moving straight to filling out an 85-page permanent residency form, EU citizens are instead being asked to sign up for “emailed news alerts” that will tell them if and when they need to take action over their UK residence.
The Labour party’s Brexit minister, Keir Starmer, has promised that a Labour government – should one be elected in June’s UK general elections – would offer a unilateral guarantee to EU residents in Britain that they could stay and retain their rights.
In Brussels, Sophie in ‘t Veld, an MEP leading the European parliament’s taskforce on citizen’s rights after Brexit, has apparently described a UK minister as a “fantasist” after he wrote to her insisting that people were being treated properly and fairly.
Lisa and Jon discuss what all of this means, and how the people she’s met and written about could reasonably say they’re not being treated either properly or fairly. | 2019-04-20T08:57:31 | https://www.theguardian.com/politics/audio/2017/apr/26/the-rights-of-eu-citizens-in-brexit-brexit-means-podcast |
We've remastered and re-released the song Exorcism.
Always less than happy with how the original version sounded, we asked John Davis at Metropolis Studios London to remaster it.
John is probably best known for his award winning work remastering the Led Zeppelin discography.
The new version is up on Apple Music and Spotify etc now.
Life changing events. Fear and self-loathing. Wrong decisions.

Granite has been in existence for thousands of years, but it’s only been a few decades since homeowners started using it as a decorative stone. It’s beauty and properties have revolutionized kitchens everywhere . We are going to highlight a few benefits of granite and why it has gradually become the popular choice for home renovations.
Our shop is fully digitized. The templators use laser technology, our machinists program the C&C saws and routers to cut out the specific tops, sink cut outs, and custom edges.
Granite countertops come with a standard sealer, but we also offer a 15 year sealer that gets applied once after it has been installed and for the next 15 years you will not have to worry about sealing it. And the best part is, that it comes with a warranty against staining!
Here at Progressive Dimensions, we recycle our water from cutting and polishing the countertops.
Granite can withstand years of wear and tear and will last a lifetime. Natural stone is formed by lava and is naturally resistant to extreme temperatures. You can comfortably place a hot pan on the kitchen counter without causing any damages.
Another good thing about granite is that it’s tough enough to resist scratching. Even if you don’t use a cutting board, you will actually dull your knife and not damage the surface.
If you are searching for something exotic with a unique touch of style for your kitchen, granite should be your number one option. Progressive Dimensions has hundreds of slabs, with a wide selection of colors and patterns to choose from. | 2019-04-25T09:49:24 | https://progressivedimensions.com/why-are-granite-kitchen-countertops-so-popular/ |

Prior to adoption of the Western solar calendar system, China exclusively followed a lunar calendar in determining the times of planting, harvesting, and festival occasions. Though today people in China use the western calendar for most practical matters of daily life, the old system still serves as the basis for determining numerous seasonal holidays. This coexistence of two calendar systems has long been accepted by the people of China.
First, determine the dates for the new moons. Here, a new moon is the completely black moon (that is, when the moon is in conjunction with the sun), not the first visible crescent used in the Islamic and Hebrew calendars. The date of a new moon is the first day of a new month. | 2019-04-21T01:19:22 | http://ordinaryposting.blogspot.com/2008/11/chinese-lunar-calendar.html |
IoT Mobile App For HVAC Balancing Tools | Applied Systems Ltd.
A mobile app to power wireless balancing of tools through processing and visualization of data collected from measurement sensors.
tools communicate wirelessly with different types of terminals, mobile devices, and laptops.
advantage on the market, the customer wanted to offer its users flexible software to satisfy various balancing needs. Furthermore, it was important to develop software that could back up a wide range of handsets and terminals.
Applied Systems’ cooperation with the customer started back in 2003. At that time, the team was busy creating software and UI for the balancing instrument PFM 250 that supported pocket PCs controlled by Microsoft Windows Mobile. As new types of portable devices such as smartphones and tablets appeared, the client decided on software applications compatible with the latest technologies. Apart from technologies, the software itself should become more comprehensive, for example, it was supposed to offer project management facilities and online logging of measurement data.
The paragraph below describes the latest solution developed for the client – an IOT mobile app based on Android.
Since Applied Systems’ specialists were experienced in applications for balancing instruments, they easily met the deadlines and requirements set by the customer.
The Smart Balance Android app uses wireless connection to read, process, and store data from the measuring sensors of heating and cooling systems. It allows balancing the system by comparing and analyzing such parameters as temperature, pressure, and flow.
One of the prominent features of the Smart Balance app and all previously developed software applications is synchronization.
Firstly, the user can save and load gathered data from a mobile device to a laptop or a PC and vice versa. Secondly, it is possible to connect to several sensors and take measurements simultaneously.
The Smart Balance Android app generates reports based on valve data. Measurement results are represented as tables and graphs. Final balancing reports can be created and stored within the mobile or tablet, edited and shared via email or cloud.
The technology stack for this solution includes Android Studio, C++, Java, Apache Ant.
The IoT mobile application provide improved communication and usability for the Smart Balancing measurement equipment. It has acquired additional features to ensure better workflow and flexibility. The user interfaces are easy to understand and operate; branded product versions can be created. Overall the Applied Systems’ team has developed a special software ecosystem for the customer’s products, consisting of desktop and mobile applications, a software licensing system and a download system stored on the server.
The results of our work were highly valued by the customer.
The Applied Systems team was responsible for developing the software part of our products. All the work was done professionally and promptly. These guys have been continuously proving the qualities that are crucial to a successful collaboration, namely responsibility, flexibility, and responsiveness. | 2019-04-26T15:39:57 | http://www.appsys.net/en/case-studies/iot-mobile-app-for-hvac-balancing-instruments |

World Uncovered tracks your travels for you and maps them in vivid detail. It will show you where you’ve been, how fast and how high you were going, and how often you’ve returned to your favorite places. Can you walk every block in your city? Climb all the mountains in your area? How many countries have you visited? What landmarks have you seen? Find out, with World Uncovered.
- 4 map display modes show you: where you've been; how fast you got there; how high it was; and how often you've revisited your favourite spots.
- Score points and earn achievements: whether you're a beginner or an expert, we'll help you set goals and take your vacation game to the next level.
- When you visit some of the world's most famous landmarks, you'll score bonus points, and keep a record of when you were there for posterity.
- Battery efficient: We understand that charging opportunities are few and far between when you're on the go, so we've built our app with the goal of maximizing battery life.
World Uncovered is a simple concept with the potential to go far. The world is yours to discover and our app is the perfect tool to help you do it, and make the experience even more fun. Start with a map that’s completely covered, and uncover locations by visiting them. Change up your routine and find ways of going places you’ve never been. Take a different route to work or school. Take a bike ride through the countryside. Travel. What better day to start the journey of a lifetime than today?
Whether you’re making a trip across town or across the ocean, World Uncovered will lead you to visit places you’ve never seen. The more you travel, the more your map begins to paint a picture of your life. Are you a wanderer or a creature of habit? A jet-setter or a mountain climber? Whatever your style of travel, World Uncovered will push you to reach new horizons and seek out new experiences.
Thank you for using World Uncovered. This update includes a fix for random startup crash.
Once I discovered this app I deleted all the others I was using... and I tried literally all of them. This is perfect. Unlike Fog of World, you can use World Uncovered even when visiting places you’ve already been. I use this app every day: on my runs, trips to work and errands — but it’s best for vacation. Fun to try to earn new badges when traveling — tx to the team behind this app!
I love this in general, though it’s very frustrating to me that it doesn’t support landscape mode — I almost always want to view the map in landscape.
I use an external GPS logger and import the resulting GPX files, so I can’t speak to the experience of tracking directly in the app itself.
The gamification aspects are more minor annoyances to me; I’m sure that some people enjoy that, but I wish I could completely disable it.
For some reason World Uncovered stops running in the background. Very annoying during long trips when I have to check every 30 minutes to make sure it’s still recording. | 2019-04-22T19:12:15 | https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1119505618 |
Diss Rants: What the Hell?
Okay, I guess this is my first excursion into discussion of a religious nature. It's always tricky, this subject. Because people can be offended, angered, disappointed, or, even worse, they can misconstrue what you say. So, let me get this out of the way first. If I offend anyone's personal beliefs here, please understand that it's not intentional. This is a blog, so it's basically a vehicle for me to vent my own personal feelings, often in a stream-of-consciousness way, so don't hold it to the same standards as a researched or heavily-agonized-over piece of writing. It definitely ain't that.
So, what's with the title for this entry? Well, as many of you no doubt know, a few years ago now, Stuart Adamson of Big Country took his own life in what were very tragic circumstances. It was a huge blow for all of us who were fans, not only of the music, but of the man. What was even harder for me is that, at the same time, I had a long-time friend, also a long-time alcoholic, who took his own life in a similar way. In fact, it happened a mere two weeks after the news of Stuart's passing. Needless to say, it was a very, very tough time.
So, again, why the title...well, I built my new computer recently (Yes, it was a success! Pics next entry, for those who care), and I was going through a bunch of old emails on my old computer. I rarely throw away anything. Anyway, I found a post from someone on a Big Country list shortly after Stuart had died. I'd forgotten about this post, because it angered me then, and it continued to incense me recently when I re-discovered it. Anyway, the gist of the post was the person hoping that Stuart was not "in hell" because of his actions, with so-called Biblical references to the so-called fact that anyone who takes their own life can't make it into heaven and basically spends eternity in torturous misery.
What a repulsive, abhorrent concept this is to me.
But, I have to admit, over the last number of years, I've found myself more questioning than ever about who or what God is, what's true, what doesn't make sense, what the answers are. I don't have them. But I do feel pretty confident about certain things that I absolutely no longer believe in. One of those things is the concept of hell.
Okay, here's a theoretical scenario for you. Let's say you go to your job, hang up your coat, and later in the day find a co-worker reaching into your coat pocket and stealing 50 cents from you so they can buy a drink from the soda machine. You've caught them red-handed. Now, what's the punishment? Do you get them fired? Do you punch them in the face? Do you yell at them and make them give back the money? Or, do you take them down into a room, tie them up and torture them for weeks, months, even years on end, keeping them alive just so they can be fully aware of the pain you're putting them through? Does that last choice sound like something a reasonable person would choose? Does that last choice sound like justice? Hell, no on both counts.
And yet, that is EXACTLY what many Christians believe when it comes to the concept of hell and "everlasting punishment" - that God, in his infinite wisdom and love, will not just punish, but TORTURE people for ALL ETERNITY, not just people who committ murder and other horrible acts, mind you, but people who simply "die in sin" or "refuse to accept Jesus" as their savior. Your dear old grandmother, who never hurt a fly in her life and always did good for everyone, according to this mindset, could be in the midst of unspeakable and eternal torture right now, simply because she chose not to believe something.
I find that entire concept borderline insanity on its own, but then to have someone suggest that a person like Stuart or my friend Chris would suffer that same fate for being so depressed and despondent that they took their own life...sorry, but that's crossing the line of insanity.
I can't speak for what Stuart went through during his last days, but I can speak to what my friend Chris went through, as I was in contact with him for a long period of time leading up to his fateful decision. Chris was such a good person at heart. Talented, funny, brilliant. But he was totally hijacked by alcohol abuse and depression, and it's my belief that his untreated depression really led to the alcohol abuse. His own father had taken his life years before. His family situation had always been a mess. He was a scared guy, in desperate need of help but never knowing how to embrace the help that was available to him. He made bad choices, but not out of malice. He wasn't evil, he wasn't selfish, he was just in tremendous, tremendous pain, a mental agony that I hope no one reading this ever has to know. I loved him as a friend, and I love him still, and for someone to suggest that because he took his life in a fit of despair and panic that "God" is making him suffer now even more...it's just a sickening thought to me that people actually believe this. It's sickening and sad that the human mind can be so weak and susceptible to guilt and controlling influences that it convinces itself that this could be true. And yet there are so many who believe this.
It's also incredibly insulting to the concept of God, or a higher power in the universe. It actually reduces the concept of God, particularly a loving God, to a status lower than an animal, certainly lower than a human. After all, if inflicting that sort of punishment on someone can be viewed as undeserved or unjust by us humans, how can we possibly think that God - whatever God may be - supposedly so much more highly evolved than humanity, would think that such a thing WAS just or deserved. It makes zero sense, no matter how you look at it, and I reject it utterly.
Put it this way - if "I" was God, and someone like my friend Chris passed away like he did, knowing what I knew about his life and what he'd gone through, I would offer him nothing but love, peace and tranquility, I would forgive him for the mistakes he made, I would offer him the grace and peace that he couldn't find in life. And if I, a lowly human, would do that, I absolutely know that something that could be called "God" would do the same if not more.
I couldn`t have put it better myself!
> ....simply because she chose not to believe something.
I was told once by a friend that she would pray for me because I was going to go to Hell because I didn't believe in her god.
An entity that banishes people to an eternity of torture is not something I will worship and devote my life to.
Is there a place called Hell? I firmly believe so because I believe in a just God and because I believe that the Bible is the word of God (clearly the Bible and Jesus speak of hell). However, God doesn't put anyone in Hell. People choose to go there by their thoughts and deeds. A willful turning away from God is necessary in order to go there. If someone dies in mortal sin without repenting and accepting god's merciful love they will remain separated from him forever by his/her own free choice. Only God, Stuart and your friend know what was in their hearts when they left this earth.
I believe that we start making our own heaven or hell on this earth and depending on our use of free will we decide where we end up. But I don't believe that everyone simply goes to heaven because hell seems too awful.
I recommend reading C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce" which has an excellent narrative on how people might choose hell over heaven.
I appreciate the comments, JAS, but I just don't personally buy it, mainly because, to me, it makes zero sense. I don't think "Just" and "Hell" go together in the slightest. At least not if your definition of Hell is the typical "fire burning forever" definition, which it seems to me it almost has to be if one is going to accept the Biblical definition of Hell to begin with. I know many Christians who believe that Hell is merely a "separation" from God for all eternity (whatever that means), but that seems to be a copout to me to ease their own guilt about the entire dogma of eternal torture that's been forced down people's throats for centuries. It seems to me that if you're going to believe in hell based on what the Bible says, then you have to believe in eternal torture as well, because, as you point out, the Bible clearly speaks of hell as that kind of place. "No rest, day or night," "Where the worm dieth not," etc.
But if someone is willing to step away from the cumulative influence of traditional belief systems just for a moment and look at the whole construct of hell, it should be at LEAST obvious that when thinking of the idea of hell, the punishment does NOT fit the crime. Eternal torture for, at most, 80 or so years of "sin," even if that "sin" is something as simple as choosing not to believe in the Judeo Christian viewpoint of God. The whole concept is completely bizarre to me at this point in my life, and just SCREAMS of human creation. Only a human could come up with something so cruel and inherently illogical.
There are in fact many Christian groups (Seventh Day Adventists is one I can think of offhand) that believe that "hell" is not a place of eternal torture, but simply equates to death, someone simply no longer existing. They have a variety of translations of Biblical texts that they claim proves this. At least that makes a bit more sense, i.e. if a "just" God can't tolerate the presence of someone who didn't believe in him or follow his rules, why would he keep them around forever to torture instead of simply putting them out of their (and his) misery?
Again, I respect your beliefs - in fact, I probably once shared them to some degree. I just don't share them anymore. As I've gotten older and studied things more and more, my personal feelings about Hell as being a place of eternal torture and torment have DEFINITELY changed, and I am pretty certain they aren't going to ever revert. I also realize that this puts me at odds with the Bible itself, and that's something I'm just going to have to try to figure my way through.
Again, I don't even remotely pretend to have the answers about these subjects. At this point in my life, I'm pretty much trying to figure out what I do and don't belive in in broad strokes and going from there, and the Hell concept that I was taught since grade school is going in the bin.
As for what was going through my friend's head when he took his own life, well, I can be pretty certain it was more of the same awful depression and panic disorder that had plagued him since he was a child. This guy really, really suffered. And if there is indeed a "just, loving" God out there, watching this mess called Planet Earth, I firmly believe that my friend is at peace right now. Lord knows the poor guy deserved it after everything he went through in his life. But that's not for a blog.
Anyway, we'll know one day, one way or the other, I suppose, who's right and who's wrong on the matter. Or maybe we won't. | 2019-04-23T03:04:32 | http://dissmusic.blogspot.com/2005/08/what-hell.html |

Red Bull athlete Dougie Lampkin - Gas Gas made a winning return to the competitive arena when the former multi FIM Trial World Champion was victorious at the twelfth edition of the two days of Arinsal trial held in the mountains of Andorra.
Thirty-seven year old Lampkin enjoyed a weekend long battle with soon to be FIM Junior Trial World Cup winner and Gas Gas team-mate Jorge Casales. Despite a mistake in the final section of the first day, Dougie riding the new TXT Pro 2014 model still managed to beat his much younger counterpart on a most cleans tie-break as the leading duo finished on fourteen marks apiece.
Recognised as one of a series of class multi day events in Europe, Lampkin relished the opportunity to make his debut at this event having competed on similar terrain in Andorra many times during his World Championship winning years. Despite having stepped down from the top tier of competition in more recent years, Lampkin continues to show he remains a formidable force in the more traditional based events, as his back to back to wins at the Scottish Six Days Trial in 2012 and 2013 confirm.
Lampkin was in good form throughout the opening day in Andorra and had the beating of Casales, Pol Tarres and Jordi Pascuet right up to Saturday's closing section. A mistake here would see Dougie crash heavily with the bike landing on top of him in a deep pool of water. This single error at the end of an otherwise solid day's performance would see Lampkin trail Casales by two marks over night, with both Pascuet and Tarres still in close company ahead of day two.
Determined to make amends for his late mistake on day one, Dougie made sure that he had his feet welded to the footrests as Sunday's completion got underway. Just a single five on Sunday for Lampkin proved enough to draw level with Casales in the overall honours after the eighteen year old parted with seven marks on day two. After a tense wait Dougie was finally confirmed the winner with him having recorded one more clean than his young challenger.
Delighted with his latest victory Dougie said. "It always feels great to win even if it is by such a narrow margin. In fact it feels even better when you come out on top in such tight circumstances. It has been a great weekend, very relaxed and some incredible scenery. Andorra has some great trials terrain as I know from past experiences, so it was good to have the opportunity to enjoy it away from the pressure of when I used to come here to ride the World Championship."
"With me only riding limited events nowadays, the younger riders certainly have the advantage over me in terms of time on the bike, so that's when I have to use all my years of experience. The mistake in the last section on Saturday was a shame really, as apart from that I have ridden well all weekend."
Dougie signed off by saying. "It is nice to be heading back to the UK later this week for my annual trials schools with a win under my belt. My leg is a bit sore from Saturday's crash, but that will not stop me putting in the last few miles on the bicycle ready for our Pedal de Alps adventure next week." | 2019-04-19T00:50:54 | http://dougielampkin.co.uk/previous-news/160-lampkin-back-to-his-winning-ways |
Plywood Napkins explores the possibility of formulating a methodology for design through the deployment of a simple, repeated cutting operation. Each piece is cut, the cutoffs are then flipped and glued back together. The object then settles per its natural tendency and the process is repeated. As the surface is edited, it no longer rests flat on the table. A nominal 20-degree cut, set by a fixed saw, varies relative to the surface’s global and local permutations at any one time.
The resulting surfaces exhibit both negative and positive feedback, as the subsequent cuts cause the surface to fold in onto itself. While its footprint shrinks, its mass is conserved. At the same time, each cut and flip causes misalignments, which grow with each higher-order cut. The designer engages continuously in a dialogue between continuity and error, local expression and global form, and design intent and material intelligence. | 2019-04-25T14:13:18 | https://www.gsd.harvard.edu/project/plywood-napkins-revisiting-the-fold-through-recursion/ |

US President Donald Trump's unorthodox trade views will drive trade tensions at least through to the remainder of his term, posing considerable risks to the global trade framework.
Negative knock-on effects for the US economy and for financial markets - which President Trump includes as measures of his success in office - will ultimately help push the US towards conciliation with its key trade partners.
The coming quarters will be marked by an ongoing cycle of escalation, de-escalation and re-escalation in trade tensions as the Trump administration manages trade spats on multiple fronts.
Trade deficits are inherently bad and the result of poor US trade policy. This will lead the US to pursue concessions from and potentially raise trade barriers on traditional partners (e.g. the EU, Mexico, Canada) alongside adversaries (China).
Protectionism benefits US industry. This could result in trade barriers enduring for a prolonged period of time, especially as the Trump team has not laid out explicit goals or terms that would be sufficient for them to pull back on tariffs.
The US should use its economic power to barter better trade deals, leading the Trump administration to favour bilateral deals over multilateral ones.
The current rules-based international trading system disadvantages the US.
This backdrop underpins our view that a cycle of escalation, de-escalation and re-escalation of trade tensions - particularly between the US and China - is the most likely scenario over the coming quarters. We believe that negative effects on the real economy and financial markets, which Trump includes as measures to gauge of his presidential success, will ultimately limit the degree of escalation in trade tensions. However, the guiding principles of Trump's team, as stated above, suggest that trade protectionism will be an enduring thread running through the administration's term in office.
China remains the primary target, in line with our long-held view ( see 'Trump Presidency: Three Scenarios For China', January 6 2017 and 'Protectionism Update: Calm Before The Storm?', October 27 2017). This is most strongly illustrated by the US's pursuit of an escalating number of tariffs on Chinese goods imports for alleged violation of US intellectual property rights, and justified through reference to the rarely-used section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. Tariffs of 25% were imposed on USD34bn of Chinese goods on July 6, with another USD16bn currently undergoing public comment and hearing period. On July 10, the US introduced another list of Chinese goods to the value of USD200bn that may be the subject of a 10% tariff, and President Trump has since threatened to impose tariffs on all Chinese imports, totaling USD505bn.
These actions mark a sharp shift from the policies pursued under previous administrations, which aimed to expand trade cooperation and new free trade agreements - particularly the Trans-Pacific Partnership - in part as a means to pressure China into correcting perceived trade malpractices and adhering to World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
Traditional US allies will not be spared amid a focus on reducing the goods trade deficit. The EU, Mexico and Canada, among other allies, face higher tariffs on their exports to the US, as their bilateral trade surpluses are seen as part of the problem by the US administration. In addition, Trump appears to view these relationships as more transactional than other presidents. While the US has yet to individually target these countries in the same way that it has with China, it has not excluded them from blanket tariffs on steel and aluminium either ( see 'Quick View: US Tariffs To Fuel Further Market Volatility Ahead', June 1). Additionally, in pursuit of ways of boosting domestic manufacturing, the US is now rethinking its support for investment protections like dispute settlement mechanisms in free trade agreements (FTAs). Such protections are included as part of ongoing renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico.
Recent negotiations between the US and EU appear to have de-escalated trade tensions between the two parties, with the US agreeing to suspend a proposal to introduce 25% tariffs on US autos imports from the bloc. Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker also agreed to work towards zero tariffs and zero non-tariff barriers on non-auto industrial goods, as well as increasing trade in other areas including soybeans and liquefied natural gas as well as looking to 'resolve' the current steel and aluminium tariffs imposed by the US in May. This is also a further indication that the US is pursuing a strategy of bilateral trade negotiations rather than multilateral negotiations. While the July 25 agreement marks a reprieve in the trade spat between the world's two largest economies, it is likely that US-EU trade tensions will re-escalate in the coming quarters, if patterns in recent US engagements on the geopolitical or trade fronts are representative.
A lack of clear goals raises the risk of a prolonged trade war. While the use of tariffs has been billed by the US as an effort to bring China and other countries to the negotiating table in order to lower the barriers to trade, the Trump team has not presented clear terms or goals that it would accept as prerequisites for removing import duties ( see 'China-US Trade Tensions: Risks Skewed Heavily To The Downside', July 5). Trade negotiations are usually lengthy processes, and with a lack of clear goals to guide counteroffers and no bilateral discussions currently underway with China, a quick solution looks illusive. The US agreement with the EU announced on July 25 de-escalates trade tensions, but continued uncertainty around US goals here hinders the prospects for a lasting resolution until more information is forthcoming. On a macroeconomic basis, the US's low savings rate and a strong foreign appetite for US assets, coupled with the Chinese yuan's sharp depreciation ( see 'Downward Revision As Chinese Yuan Faces Intensifying Downside Pressure', July 20) will make a reduction in the goods trade deficit unlikely in the near term. The yuan's recent sell-off could also prompt the Trump administration to put additional pressure on China via tariffs, as it may see the currency's weakening as a form stimulus for the Chinese economy.
Preference towards biltareralism vs. multilateralism: In multiple instances, President Trump has expressed his preference for bilateral trade deals, through which he argues the US can get a better deal. We believe this is indicative of his belief that the US should use its economic power for leverage to achieve concessions from trading partners, in direct conflict with one of the primary objectives of the rules-based trading system.
Blocking appointments to the appellate body: While the US has long held grievances with the WTO and its dispute settlement body, often over the use "zeroing" in anti-dumping cases, the Trump administration is ramping up obstructionism. The US is currently blocking appointments to the WTO's Appellate Body that oversee trade disputes. Now, with three of the seven seats vacant and another exit set for September, the institution's operational effectiveness is on the verge of being crippled due to a lack of quorum.
The use of "national security" justification, and potential flouting of the rules: While the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) allows for "security exceptions", members have seldom implemented import restrictions for national security reasons. Critics of the move claim that the administration's true aim is solely protection of US industry. A number of countries have since filed complaints against the US at the WTO. While these cases will likely take 2-3 years to be resolved, leaving plenty of room for negotiation in the interim, we believe the US would likely ultimately lose these cases. Subsequently, if the US, one of principle architects and participants in the rules-based system, were to ignore the ruling, it would considerably erode the effectiveness of the system.
The Trump administration's attempt to upset the norms around global trade is likely to have a lasting effect on any future framework. It is too early to quantify the extent of the impact, but the imposition of tariffs and an increasing preference for bilateral trade negotiations as a means for larger countries to extract trade concessions could conceivably become much more frequent in the years ahead. Such a scenario is particularly apt against the backdrop of increased populist rhetoric across both developed and emerging markets. While this would not immediately sound the death knell for the current system of international trade, its gradual erosion over a multi-decade time frame is not out of the question. | 2019-04-26T16:12:46 | https://www.fitchsolutions.com/country-risk-sovereigns/unorthodox-us-trade-policies-have-lasting-global-impact-31-07-2018 |

In about 2005, I hosted a big tapas party for my friends in my Capitol Hill apartment in Washington, D.C. At the time, my understanding of tapas was largely as small, sauce-based dishes which presented meats, fish, and vegetables with unique flavor combinations. Over the course of the dinner-party, I proudly whipped up about 12 different individual dishes, from garlic shrimp to meat brochettes. At the end of it, however, I was exhausted, and had too much sangria over a hot stove when I was only taking small tastes of my creations!!
On a recent trip to Spain, however, I discovered a new variant of tapas - those that are more simple and easily put together. My friend Karen and I visited a few tapas places, our favorites being the well-known Quimet & Quimet and the largely unknown Bar Ramon, which we stumbled upon when the restaurant we wanted to visit for dinner was closed until later. All of these tapas were whipped together right in front of us, and were not about the sauce, but about the substance. Delicious!
This platter at Set de Gothic in the Barre Gothic in Barcelona was served warm and included a circular arrangement of different delicacies which blended together perfectly. The platter was put together like rings around a planet with each item pre-prepared, and baked with the large piece of goat cheese in the center topped with an olive, then surrounded by a ring of caramelized onions. The next ring is soft roasted eggplant, followed by a ring of roasted red peppers. Serve with bread!
On the left is one of my favorite tapas - simple, and delicious - it is a large mushroom, stuffed with fresh soft cheese, like a chevre, and then topped with bits of prosciutto. When we asked for one, he simply microwaved it to melt the cheese a bit, and topped with olive oil, salt and pepper. Delicious! At the far right, eggplant stuffed with ground beef and cheese.
Quimet & Quimet was really the mother of tapas. Recommended by my friend Karen's friend (and by guidebooks as well apparently), this was absolutely worth it! We had an awkward entry to the packed room, but eventually we got a spot right along the window where they make everything and we could just point and order whatever we saw that looked good! Karen and I agreed that the best one had a bit of round toast, a dollop of creme fraiche, a large mussel marinated in the most amazing oil I have ever tasted, drizzled with a bit of balsamic vinegar and parsley flakes. I wish I had bought the tin to bring some home, and ever since I keep scouring gourmet market shelves hoping to stumble upon them.
This shrimp tapas was almost as good as the mussel one - again on the little toast, but this one topped with roasted red pepper, a large shrimp, a dollop of creme fraiche, a spoonful of black caviar, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Incredible. And, even though there is a fork in the picture, this is a hands-only dish.

GROZNY – Three French gay rights groups have accused the Russian republic of Chechnya of a policy of genocide towards gay people in a complaint filed at the International Criminal Court.
They have blamed Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov and state officials for a “wave of persecution”.
They cited the case of a teenaged male thrown out of a ninth-storey window, allegedly because of his sexuality.
Concern about the plight of gay men in Chechnya resurfaced across Europe last month following reports of persecution in the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
Chechen officials have denied that gay people even exist in the republic.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month backed an inquiry into the reported crackdown on gay people in Chechnya.
But the three French groups have rejected Russia’s internal investigation, and want the International Criminal Court in The Hague to start work before Russia withdraws from its jurisdiction in November.
Reports of arbitrary arrests of gay men first surfaced last month in the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
The three groups highlighted the case of a 17-year-old gay youth allegedly thrown to his death from a ninth-floor window by an uncle supposedly anxious to salvage the family’s honour.
They have accused President Kadyrov of setting up torture camps to exterminate homosexuals, Le Monde (in French) reported. It quoted the leader of Idaho France – one of the three groups instigating the ICC case – as saying the court was the only way they could pursue their grievances.
Last week five gay rights activists were detained in Moscow as they tried to deliver a petition to the office of Russia’s prosecutor general. Police said they were held because their action was unauthorised.
The activists said more than two million people had signed the petition to investigate alleged torture and detentions of gay people in Chechnya.
President Kadyrov has insisted that there are no “people of non-traditional orientation” (a term sometimes used to describe LGBT people in Russia) in the predominantly Muslim republic.
Chechen officials also say the local police have not received any official complaints from alleged victims. | 2019-04-21T22:13:07 | https://barbadostoday.bb/2017/05/16/chechnya-accused-of-gay-genocide/ |
If you thought Abiyum Nanum and Thangameenkal related to same note, then kindly brace yourself because Thangameenkal is not only deals with the father-daughter relationship it also about a deprived father who can go any extends to get what his daughter desires along with that, ram blasting on school education system followed nowadays in a low note.
It’s been five years after the critically acclaimed Katrathu Tamizh got released and ram is more matured than what we have expected. He knows where to play his part and where to let others to perform; for the first time ever you won’t forget a single character from a movie though most of them were new comers, thanks to ram’s crispy characterization and their execution.
on the performance side, there is a tough competition between the little girl and ram but surprisingly Shelly scores in-between strongly. Sometimes that girl’s performance looks artificial; but she blows us down hardly in the emotional scenes. Sadhana has done a role of her lifetime, before she realize what cinema is. Ram as an angry, unemployed and affectionate father does his best and the scenes where he gets outraged on the society, drags us too with him. Apart from the crying part, he was completely convincing as a steadfast father. The rest of the characters performed their roles lively and persuasively.
Unfortunately like his maiden venture, Ram fluctuated between two themes, like how people forget Katrathu Tamizh as a love story; here we completely lost our attention in his views on the school issue because of the father daughter emotions, which strongly overshadowed the school issue. That is the only weak point but it costs gravely in the second half as ram tries to showcase both the scenes simultaneously which leads to confusion. Ram acted very well but in some scenes it looks like ram tries to show his emotion in a hard way which makes the viewers to recollect the performance of Jiiva in ram’s previous movie. Padmapriya’s cameo looks like enigma but it was made up to show how a good teacher should be.
The oscillation of the director comes to an end in the climax and a perfect ending for a movie which deals with the father-daughter relationship but for the school issue, there were few scenes before the end credit rolls, still the climax was an exhilarating one.
Ram’s dialogues are like razor sharp be it on the teachers or on his family members it will cut through you. Cinematography was the biggest asset of this movie, where the beauty of the nature seized seemingly like never seen before. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the second hero of the movie, you can’t see him in the screen but you can feel his music even after you walked out from the theater. It doesn’t matter that how many times you have seen the Anandha Yaazhai song in TV channels but still watching it in a big screen will give you limitless bliss.
Verdict – Watch it once and you will know what your dad did for you. | 2019-04-23T13:58:57 | https://kollybuzz.com/reviews/movie-reviews/thanga-meenkal-movie-review/ |

One of the ways we spent our time together this summer was at toddler gymnastics time.
This was the perfect way to get rid of my son’s excess energy!
We pretty much has free run of the entire gym.
Kyton’s friend met us there to play too.
Posing for the camera while walking on the balance beam. That’s my boy!
I’m sad that toddler gymnastics is during the day while I am at work. We won’t be able to go again until next summer. | 2019-04-21T23:00:51 | http://blog.carlysphotography.com/2013/09/toddler-gymnastics.html |
WOW I can't believe its been over a year since I have posted in this blog.
The reason? Pretty much not been cycling much at all over the last couple of years other than commuting to & from work.
I’ve kept up to date with the Facebook group London Brompton Club which is still going strong but not posting, maybe the odd comment every once in awhile. I have to say that I am very proud of the LBC and how it still growing and many active members all the time. I've been going though some personal issues over the last few yrs and seeing the LBC still going strong gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and makes my dark days a little brighter. So thank you to everyone in the LBC.
I’ve been considering posting about other things I'm also doing. Blogging was a kinda of therapy for me in someways, I look back at my blog to see the things that I have done and think to myself, damn I really did do that.
So on with something a little different.
Currently I'm in the process of building myself a new PC. Only the last couple of yrs I have been gaming more and my current is PC is 8 yrs old and just a couple of hardware updates in that time. Basically its showing its age in regards to gaming.
I've been planning this new PC for about a year now but waiting for the optimum time to buy components. Getting the balance right between price & latest tech is tricky as technology doesn't wait around. As soon as some new tech comes out its pretty much outdated within a couple of months, probably less.
As you can see the case its basically black but will have programmable lighting. While I wait for the availability of of certain components I will be working on the case to give it a little colour.
First thing to do is strip down the case to its bare bones to see exactly what I've got to work with.
First idea that came to me was when stripping the front panel & top panels, which consist of a frame and wire mesh panels.
First thing I thought was spray painting the mesh, give it a little pop. Well you folks should know by now I'm a bit of a fan of black and yellow so how about the mesh panels in yellow. Will be trying out tests on small bits of strap metal to see how this paint goes as I've never used it and its been a long while since I've spray painted anything. I MAY look for a professional spray painting place to see if they could do these little bits for me if I don't feel I will get good results. | 2019-04-26T00:26:32 | http://www.bromptonbumbleb.com/2018/11/and-now-for-something-completely.html |

KIERAN Richardson is predicting no more mid-season slumps for Sunderland after Steve Bruce’s summer recruitment drive gave them a fighting chance of warding off any injury crisis.
The Black Cats saw their hopes of a push for Europe ravaged by a succession of trauma injuries to top players last spring, a situation which saw them reduced to filling their bench with promising Academy players for most of the last month of the season.
That nightmare scenario motivated manager Steve Bruce in the transfer market this summer as he looked to add bulk and numbers, as well as ability, to his Black Cats squad.
Eight new arrivals have given him cover in every key position, and should mitigate against another nose dive as the season reaches its business end. A high-tech GPS system has also been invested in to help the club’s medical staff keep track of the condition of key men.
Richardson is one of several members of the Sunderland squad coming back from serious injuries and feels he is reaching his peak again after a long period out.
He said: “Last season, maybe the squad was a bit light in certain areas. Now, there seems to be a much better spread. Hopefully, there won’t be the gaps any more.
“When we got injuries last season, there were times when we looked a little bit light. Hopefully, this season, even if there are injuries, we’ll have players who can come in and do as good a job as the person who’s been playing on a regular basis.
One potential problem with investing so much in the summer is whether the team will click in time for the big kick-off but Richardson (pictured right) reckons the timing of the signings has helped ensure that isn’t an issue.
“It’s good that the players came in early because we’ve had a chance to work with them right through pre-season,” he said.
“It can be difficult when players are coming and going at the last minute once the season is under way. We needed to make quite a few changes this summer and it’s good that we’ve done that early on. It takes time for players to get to know each other and gel, but we’ve had that.
Incredibly, Richardson is now the longest-serving player at the club after a raft of changes in recent summers. He reckons that shows how committed he is to the Black Cat cause.
“It came as a bit of a surprise,” he said. “That’s football I suppose, people come and go and the squad changes on a fairly regular basis.
“But hopefully it also says something about how much I’ve given to Sunderland, and how happy I’ve been here.
Sunderland travel across the Pennines to take on Burnley this afternoon without John O’Shea, who is battling to be fit for the start of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in the pre-season tour of Germany.
The former Manchester United man is still having treatment on the injury and won’t be risked either at Turf Moor or on Tuesday, when Sunderland make the short trip to Hartlepool for Ritchie Humphreys’ testimonial. | 2019-04-18T15:05:45 | http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kieran-richardson-no-more-sunderland-4428764 |
