A powerful brand is only as good as the target market’s awareness of its existence and qualities. Branding is not done in a vacuum; it is aimed at a particular segment of the market. Every branding exercise should be culture specific.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair once described Africa as “a scar on the conscience of the world.” This goes to tell the how infamous Africa’s brand is across continents.
Recent events on the African continent are however beginning to change people’s perception of Africa. Images of war, famine and tyranny are no more exclusively synonymous with Africa. The improving image of Africa is evidenced and fueled by the following events: the successful hosting of the world cup by South Africa in 2010, US. President Barack Obama’s visit to select countries in Africa, the recent Arab spring that sparked off in Tunisia, the fall of Former Libyan president Gadhafi. Nobel laureates such as the late Wangari Mathai of Kenya and Liberia’s Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, just to mention a few have also brought honors to the African continent.
The improving image of Africa coupled with its widely underdeveloped market and human as well as mineral resources continue to attract new brands unto the African market. Described as the final frontier in some circles, Africa is a very promising brand and market for any astute businessman or marketer. Numerous global brands continue to flood the African market. Their attempts at marketing and creating brand awareness have however been fraught with challenges due to a lack of an understanding of the African market.
Africans tend to congregate around certain activities which are peculiar to the African culture. These should be in sharp focus for any brand awareness campaign.
1) Research: Alexander Graham Bell(Inventor of the telephone), said that “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” This emphasizes the importance of preparation and research in particular in any field of endeavor. To be successful at increasing your brand awareness in Africa, you need to know, understand and appreciate your target market. You must know their needs, wants and desires. Knowing their needs, wants and desires will help you design a product they find useful to their lives.
2) Strong product: Coming from a good research exercise, you are now able to develop a winning product for your brand. For example, research will probably reveal to you the most appropriate colors, for your brand, which will appeal to your target market the most and also create an emotional attachment with it.
3) Deliver on your promise: The measure of value placed on a brand or product is seen in how much you are seen to deliver on your brand promise. If your promise is to deliver timely service, at the very least, just do that. Only then can you delight your customers who will increase your brand awareness by word of mouth especially in Africa where interpersonal bonds are stronger. In Africa, people tend to at least rely on advice from friends and acquaintances principally because of the lack of data and or access to it with regards to product quality.
4) Language: Africa is largely unlettered in the western sense of the word. While the US. For instance has a literacy rate of 99%, the figure is 63% in Sub-Saharan Africa. This requires the use of simple language and more vivid imagery. Indigenous languages should be employed to increase your brand awareness. Also, it should be ensured that brand names and or symbols do not connote negativity in the local African dialects.
5) Consistency: One important ingredient in increasing your brand awareness is consistency in message and product quality. Put out the same message and keep repeating it. The quality of the product behind the brand also goes a long way to increase your brand awareness. It is important to be consistent on the African market because the continent is awash with new brands.
6) Corporate social responsibility(CSR): According to corporate social responsibility expert Mallen Baker, “CSR is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society.” It goes to say that your operations should have a positive impact on the society at large and all stakeholders of your brand. Very often, CSR activities focus on philanthropy leaving out all the other aspects. It is also important to be ethical and that is where most corporate brands fall short. Issues of ethics are at the center of the long standing crisis in the Niger delta of Nigeria. This gave rise to the formation and activities of armed groups such as the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). Activities of such groups affect not only the communal peace, but also the operations of the oil exploration companies involved. Efforts must therefore be taken to fully fulfill one’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
7) Festivals and Dance: Africans are reputed for and pride themselves in having an immensely rich culture. Cultural activities such as festivals and dance are rallying points for the African people. Brand awareness can therefore be increased by using these media. A case in point is the Malta Guinness Street Dance Africa competition which has no doubt increased the public’s awareness of the Malta Guinness brand. In such instances, you get to engage with your customers on a more personal basis which is good for increasing your brand awareness.
Brand awareness is very important to the continued survival of any brand anywhere in the world. To be successful at brand awareness in Africa, you need to have a reasonably deep insight into the minds of the people, delight them with a winning product and empathize with their way of life.

Confession – as I read or listen to the news I am not feeling much of anything besides tiredness and incompetence. I am embarrasingly disconnected as I watch flooded streets and homes in Texas.
My husband and I were talking about this over the weekend, about our inability to care about everything we hear about; about our ability to self-select newstories and situations that we care about and dismiss the rest. As I filter through news stories I want to care about every tragedy, but it turns out I don’t have the emotional capacity to do that and remain sane.
In the 1950’s a new word made it into our lexicon of trauma related diagnoses. The word was “Compassion Fatigue” and was first seen in nurses. As a nurse, it makes sense to me that we were the people who first displayed a tendency towards these symptoms. The symptoms included negativity, lessening of compassion, tiredness, and feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and inadequacy for the job at hand. It was the ‘cost of caring’.
The word has evolved over time and is often called ‘Disaster Fatigue’. Used by the media and donor organizations to describe the response to tragedies and world events over time, it gives an accurate picture without having to be explained. Events that have such massive implications that our brains can’t quite take it in and our responses show a disconnect between what we see and hear and how our hearts and bank accounts respond.
If I list off the events that have happened even in the last month, I know immediately why I have compassion/disaster fatigue. News and events transport us from Syria to Charlottesville to Houston and back again. Every aspect of human need has been affected. The need for shelter, security, food, safety, and the list goes on so that self-actualization seems laughable. The pain and shock of people and nations are felt across oceans and continents creating a sort of secondary trauma zone. How much am I capable of caring about before I move into the disaster fatigue zone? Not very much, it turns out.
Added to this are the things that might not affect the world, but they affect me and my extended family. Family tragedies and crises that make me cry out to God in the night, begging for strength and help for those that I love.
We are overloaded and our minds can’t handle the overload. This in turn leads to apathy, despair, and callous hearts. To compensate, we often update our social media status, just to prove that we really do care, and we expect others to do the same. It’s like wearing a badge of honor; a status symbol of caring.
In the book Amusing Ourselves to Death, the author Neil Postman describes what he calls the “low information to action ration”. He links this concept back to the invention of the telegraph. Before the telegraph people received information that was relevant to their lives, information over which they had a measure of control. After the telegraph, people received information from miles away, information that they could do nothing about. News of wars and tragedies from across the world began to take central stage, while local news took a back page. “the local and the timeless … lost their central position in newspapers, eclipsed by the dazzle of distance and speed … Wars, crimes, crashes, fires, floods—much of it the social and political equivalent of Adelaide’s whooping coughs—became the content of what people called ‘the news of the day'” (pp. 66–67). So a “low information to action ratio” refers to the sense of helplessness we have when faced with information that we can do nothing about.
I have been learning something about information overload and the cost of caring over these past years. I have found that I have to exit the noise. I cannot sustain the information overload. It renders me useless in every day life.
When I give myself permission to exit the noise, when I allow myself to move to a place of quiet, I become healthier and more compassionate. In that quiet space I become far more able to see that despite my huge limitations, a quiet place of contemplation and prayer are far more valuable than distraction and overload. “Think about it, Mom” says my son “prayer is the highest form of empathy, the greatest act of compassion.” He is wise beyond his years.
Prayer leads me to a reliance on a God who “will not grow tired or weary, and whose understanding no one can fathom” and in the comfort of those age-old words, I can lose the guilt and rely on a never-ending resource of compassion and strength, available to all in crisis.
I think you hit the nail on the head, Marilyn. I’ve spoken to Mike about my need to “specialize” and and focus on one or two issues/needs that are most compelling (for whatever reasons). We were in a service last Sunday where we were encouraged to turn off the TV/radio, because none of us were made to be able to know everything; however, I struggle to live in the tension of needing enough information to be a responsible citizen and Christ-follower, and not being so immersed that I’m dragged down by it all. Do you resonate with that?
Yes! That is exactly the place I find myself. I had to take myself off twitter except for the quick look every three days. It was too much. I realized when in conversation with someone else that the ratio of what was useful compared to what hurt my soul wasn’t worth it. Along with that is the need to be fully present in my current reality, which is a struggle for an ATCK anyway….
To another topic – so excited for you all as the third edition of Third Culture Kids comes out!
I echo the grateful words expressed above. It is so easy to carry the heavy burden of our broken world, and we feel guilt when we can’t Your son’s words ring true.. we can pray and pray often, many times over the course of the day if need be , leaving ours and the world’s unspeakable burdens at the cross.
Oh, how true this is, Marilyn! I am watching TV, when Dish functions–it comes and goes when the wind gusts–and seeing lots of caring folks who are out helping rescue people and supply emergency shelters. But I just can’t do it myself, even though my heart would like to, I cannot physically manage it, as chemo is making me weak.
I am in southwest Houston, and amazingly I still have electricity, can flush my toilet, and have no water in my house. Purely the mercy of the Lord, folks a block away have water in their homes. My family has lived in this house for 52 years, and it has never flooded, but I was fairly sure I would get wet when the water was rising on my street yesterday morning. Still in danger, because while the rain has lessened (approx. 27 inches in 2 days), the rivers and reservoirs north of us are draining down to us. I had about 7 inches of rain overnight, according to the local news. Rain gauges that haven’t floated away have overflowed, so I don’t have an accurate number for my house. I joked with a friend that the only useful rain gauge would need to be a meter high!
My theme song for Harvey has been Twila Paris singing “God is in control”. It may be from the 90s, but is is very appropriate today.
Thank you Marilyn, Very timely.
You are so wise, Marilyn, and your words lead me through the current cacophony to a moment of peaceful contemplation. Thanks. | 2019-04-25T10:31:00 | https://communicatingacrossboundariesblog.com/2017/08/28/information-overload-and-the-cost-of-caring/ | [

I used to work at a fantastic hair salon in Covent Garden, London called Windle and Moodie after I graduated from University. I worked on bookings and reception for over two years and met some great people who I am still good friends with today. We also had an interesting client base from students to high flying business women, and yes the odd model and celebrity...I will probably end up writing a better post of my time there but I was happy to see when surfing FGR a nice editorial featuring Brazilian Model Barbara Fialho. She used to come in frequently, and was just so lovely. Visually stunning and healthy in stature but also super intelligent, I always remembered her. Brazilian Babe #Boom.
Winter Kate dresses, Mara Hoffman swimwear, Asos Pink waisted shorts, vintage sandals, Hawaiian shirts and Ray Bans. Some of you I could never afford...ALL I can't afford now at all...while I save for said holiday. Summer is way cuter than winter hands down.

Using data from in-depth interviews with activist lawyers, this dissertation addresses the role of lawyers in social movements. Activist lawyers are a subculture within the legal profession who work to reconcile the multiple identities that they experience as "professionals" and "activists". The data illuminates the ways in which lawyers enter into activism, how they manage their personal and professional identities, and what the consequences of activism are for them professionally and personally. This work challenges the assumption that lawyers act according to their professional roles and have a "deradicalizing" impact on movements. With the exception of the hired gun, who may in fact act as a lawyer, most activist lawyers compare to other activists in their range of behavior, identity processes, and consequences of activism. Activist lawyers are not limited to legal roles, and being a lawyer is not always a factor in their activism. Those that are characterized as "core activist lawyers" are embedded in activist networks that allow them to maintain both work and activist roles and identities without much conflict. They have successfully negotiated their professional identities and roles so that they correspond with their activist roles and identities. Findings also contribute to our understanding of professionals in social movements, provide rich data on the role and identity processes in movements, and broaden our understanding of one segment of the legal profession. | 2019-04-23T18:11:50 | https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/283993 | [

Joey was the most affectionate, loyal, loving, playful, nurturing and happy little dog I’ve ever known. We discovered him through a Wire Fox Terrier rescue agency back in 2008 that specializes in finding forever homes for displaced/homeless dogs. I have no doubt that a Higher Power was responsible for joining Joey with our family, because we never even met him before deciding on adopting him.
He was already 4 and a half years old when he joined our family, but from the moment we met him to bring him home, he was showering my father & I with kisses it was truly a match made in Heaven.
My family and I know how blessed we were to have had nine amazing years with him, but as any pet owner knows, no matter how long you have with your beloved pet never seems long enough. Joey lived 13.5 years, incredibly, in near-perfect health. But in the early morning hours of May 17th, 2017, he had what we later learned was a stroke and my parents made the difficult, but selfless decision to put him to sleep that same afternoon.
And, very sadly & regrettably, I wasn’t able to be there when he took his last breaths because I had undergone invasive brain surgery on the day prior, 5/16/17, and therefore I was hospitalized when he fell ill and when he gained his angel wings. It is that oddly coincidental irony that breaks my heart the most; I don’t feel any sense of closure since I wasn’t able to say “goodbye”.
But, I’m very proud of this memorial/tribute video that I feel perfectly sums up the amazing companionship and love that we all had with little Joey. I’d be honored for anyone to watch it. Thank you very much in advance. | 2019-04-26T02:01:18 | http://www.fondpetmemories.com/2018/11/12/dog-joey/ | [

VANCOUVER, BC, May 30, 2017 - Flowfinity Wireless Inc. today unveiled real-time dashboards for its enterprise mobile application software, allowing organizations to have faster access to visualized, critical information from the field for improving operational intelligence.
Flowfinity allows end-to-end business process applications to be quickly built and implemented, without code. Line of business teams and IT professionals can now also create custom dashboards in a matter of minutes with a point-and-click editor. Real-time data is aggregated in an automatically managed database as it comes in, providing easy access to support faster and smarter business decisions.
Real-time dashboards let management teams stay connected to business operations wherever they are. Flowfinity dashboards can be viewed on both web and mobile devices, allowing managers to monitor activities and stay on top of business as it happens.
Organizations can use powerful charting capabilities and presentation options to customize and display data in a rich and meaningful way. Multiple charts can be linked to reflect operational relationships to see how different information interacts, so any red flags can be spotted immediately.
Unlike cloud-based dashboard solutions that rely on periodic data export, Flowfinity offers fully integrated operational analytics features that allow business managers to oversee their business processes in real-time and close the workflow loop faster. Organizations can quickly address high priority issues discovered with operational dashboards, and then continuously monitor the resolution progress in real-time.
Flowfinity dashboards also offer flexible drill downs and data filters that can be leveraged by users to target a specific data set, down to the last detail.
Whether for customers, partners or internal staff, role-based permissions let managers control how data is accessed and by whom. Information is filtered according to each role, so users can also save time and remain productive by only viewing data that is most valuable to them.
"Flowfinity is critical for organizations that perform high-priority work in the field and need to stay on top of every situation," said Larry Wilson, VP Sales & Marketing, Flowfinity. "We're excited to offer robust, flexible dashboards that will help our customers learn and solve business problems in real-time." | 2019-04-18T14:46:42 | https://www.flowfinity.com/company/news/20170530-flowfinity-transforms-operational-intelligence-with-real-time-dashboards.aspx | [

With the electric cars versus gasoline cars battle heating up, we decided to run a crosscheck to see where the two concepts stand today if they are pitted against each other.
After a brief stint in late 19th century and early 20th century, electric cars are back in the market with a bang. Their resurfacing can be partly attributed to the fact that gasoline-powered cars have come under the scanner for their tendency to pollute the environment and partly to the rising price of oil over the last few years.
The electric cars in production today do seem a lot better than their predecessors, but are they ready to take on their gasoline counterparts? Do they really stand any chance? The only way to find out, is to carry out a head-to-head comparison of the two.
The basic difference is the source of power that they use. In gasoline-powered cars, gasoline, which is stored in fuel tanks, is used to power the engine. The engine eventually powers the transmission and this, in turn, rotates the wheels.
On the other hand, electric cars use a set of batteries to power an electronic motor, which, in turn, powers the transmission and rotates the wheels. Electric cars in production today are better than their predecessors.
The fact that electric cars are environment-friendly is perhaps the most important point that you need to take into consideration when you pit them against their gasoline counterparts.
Gasoline cars burn fossil fuels to generate power and thus, contribute to environmental pollution. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide―a by-product of internal combustion engine, has increased manifold over the last few years and the rising number of gas-powered cars has an important role to play in this.
Other than this environment friendliness, the fact that you can conveniently charge the set of batteries in the electric car at home itself is again an advantage. On the other hand, you will have to take the trouble of visiting a gas station to refuel your gas-powered vehicle.
Even though electric cars boast of several benefits, there do exist some drawbacks. Among the numerous limitations, their hefty price happens to be one of the most important factors. Owing to high production cost of these vehicles and the additional lithium-ion battery set, the few models that are available in the market are also priced high.
Similarly, the absence of public charging facilities also makes journeys a bit risky. Critics are of the opinion that calling them environment-friendly is not correct, as they are also dependent on electricity, which, in turn, is produced by burning coal. Similarly, the production of batteries that are used in these vehicles comes heavy on the environment.
The cars in production today are much more efficient as compared to those of the yesteryears and there is no questioning the fact that they will continue to become better with time. It wouldn't be surprising to see an electric car which is more efficient and sleeker than the ones in production today some time in the near future.
As for the difference in their cost, government is trying their best to promote the sales of such environment-friendly cars by offering tax rebates, which brings their price down by a significant extent. | 2019-04-23T23:55:04 | https://wheelzine.com/electric-cars-vs-gas-cars | [

Architecture students at all stages are encouraged to test ideas through a variety of techniques. It is important that students master emerging design technologies that will be integral to architectural practice in the future. In the workshops they can test ideas through carpentry, 3d printing and laser cutting. The school’s survey equipment such as the 3d scanner can prove useful during fieldwork, while the McClay Library, opened in 2009, is regularly updated with leading architecture books and journals.
Every student has a desk in the school’s design studios: a luxury that many universities are unable to offer. The studios foster a collaborative working relationship between peers that can last far beyond the degree itself. This has obvious benefits for the students’ work, but most importantly it strengthens mutual support and encouragement. | 2019-04-25T15:02:43 | http://www.architectureatqueens.co.uk/facilities/ | [

Stacey and a group of her friends decided to throw a fundraiser to raise the money for a well to get the village clean water. That was the first well and it was drilled in 2006. The party raised money enough for two wells, so a second well was drilled in a neighboring village. Donations kept coming in and as they did more wells kept getting funded, but the group started to question the sustainability of working with partners on the ground. When you raise money from friends and family members you have a real commitment to make sure the money they give is not being wasted.
Drop later established its first field office in Uganda and started hiring local people to handle drilling and monitor the completed wells. Over time this grew to the point where Drop now owns trucks, drills, compressors and operates three offices, all staffed with local people. Our goal is not just water, but to create sustainable long-term solutions to the water and sanitation crisis, promote gender equality and help get children, particularly girls, in school.
10 years and 350+ water wells later, we continue to grow our efforts to empower communities. | 2019-04-18T18:32:21 | https://www.dropinthebucket.org/origin-of-drop/ | [

Not only is the Hollow Everdaze ditty "Cartoons" a heck of an infectious song, but the video for said song is darned hard to tear your eyes away from. The constantly shifting, collage work images represent a punchy pastiche of vintage photos and art, hitting just the right visual note for this dandy of a jangling, fuzzy mess. This is a song of infinite possibility, and it proves to be an excellent way to kick off the weekend, indeed. | 2019-04-23T20:36:10 | http://www.logicfuzzy.com/2017/06/video-of-day-301-hollow-everdaze.html | [

Germany’s military mission in Afghanistan has become increasingly politicised in the eight years since it was launched. Political and ideological differences between parties and even between ministries are becoming more pronounced, not less. This trend narrows the room for manoeuvre and limits the strategic debate. Greater instability in Kunduz province, at the heart of Germany’s area of regional responsibility in Afghanistan, has two immediate effects: it both increases the need to act decisively and it heightens the risk of political paralysis in Berlin. This article argues that the latter is likely to prevail. | 2019-04-25T10:29:47 | https://ridt.co/afghan-option/ | [

So sad to lose such a man...His work really had a positive impact on the world. Once I began gaming in 1989 I stopped partying and became totally addicted to Mario and Zelda...Almost named my daughter Zelda!
My daughter was heavily influenced by Nintendo games from birth. I played Super Metroid, Super Mario, Zelda constantly and she loved the colors, the action, the music and now she is such a talented artist with a vast collection of action figures and games..
I know a lot of people think video gaming destroyed our children but I feel differently. I gave a subscription of Nintendo Power Magazine to 2 young boys who had trouble learning to read and those magazines gave them the reason to read. They wanted to know what those words were telling them so they could beat the bosses.
The most visible and popular president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata died Saturday due to a bile duct growth, the company announced Sunday. | 2019-04-19T03:27:17 | https://www.retrokimmer.com/2015/07/nintendo-presidentceo-satoru-iwata-died.html | [

Penicillin is a group of antibiotics that include penicillin V (for oral use), penicillin G (used intravenously), benzathine penicillin and procaine penicillin. It comes from penicillin fungi and is used to treat bacterial infections. You can only get penicillin with a prescription from your doctor. Do you often wonder whether you can take penicillin and alcohol together? Find out with the information below.
Can You Take Penicillin and Alcohol Together?
While it may come as a surprise to many people, penicillin and alcohol do not interact. Therefore, this shouldn't be a thing to worry. However, you should be wary of the fact that they have the same side effects – dizziness, stomach upset and drowsiness. This means that you increase the chances of experiencing these side effects by taking both of them at the same time. The side effects could also be more severe in some cases.
So,if you have been taking penicillin and alcohol at the same time, you should watch out for any unusual symptoms and penicillin allergies. See a doctor immediately if you suspect anaphylaxis or detect any severe reactions to the medication. If you are giving antibiotics to a child, call 911 if detecting any anomalies in their behavior.
Metronidazole and tinidazole: You should avoid taking alcohol when taking antibiotics such as metronidazole and tinidazole. Metronidazole is used to clear vaginal and dental infections. It is also used to treat pressure sores and leg ulcers. Tinidazole is used to treat the same infections as metronidazole as well as H. pylori. Symptoms for combining these antibiotics with alcohol include headaches, breathless, chest pain, irregular or increased heartbeat, skin flushing, lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting.
Co-trimoxazole: Drinking alcohol while you're on co-trimoxazole will experience the same effect as that of tinidazole or metronidazole. If you choose to drink alcohol, do it in moderation as it normally does not cause too serious problems.
Linezolid: Linezolid interacts with fermented/undistilled alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, lager and sherry. For this reason, you should avoid taking undistilled alcohol when you are on Linezolid.
Doxycycline: Taking alcohol along with doxycycline is not a good idea since it can interfere with the effectiveness of the antibiotic. One special notice: Doxycycline shouldn't be taken by people with liver problems.
Erythromycin: Research has shown that erythromycin may exhibit a minor interact with alcohol, which can delay its effect on the body. This means that the medication may not work as well or as fast as it should.
Penicilin is generally safe, but it can sometimes result in a severe allergic reaction. Signs and symptoms of allergy include skin rash, hives, fever, itching, shortness of breath, swelling, wheezing, running nose and watery, itchy eyes. In severe cases, it can lead to anaphylaxis, a life threatening condition.
Low-sodium diet: If you are on a low sodium diet, you need to realize that some penicillin medicines contain copious amounts of sodium. Make sure your doctor knows about your special diet.
Diabetes: Penicillin can cause a false positive result when you are taking a diabetes urine sugar test. If you are suffering from diabetes, consult with your doctor to find out whether you should change your diet or the dosage of the diabetes medicine.
Phenylketonuria: If you have phenylketonuria (PKU), you should consult a medical professional before taking any augmentin formulations since they contain phenylalanine. | 2019-04-23T00:35:00 | https://www.newhealthadvisor.com/Penicillin-and-Alcohol.html | [

Play time with a purpose!
Allow the power of percussion to fill and surround you, nurturing you and connecting you to the potency of Mother Earth. No drumming experience is necessary to join the circle, and Susan has plenty of extra drums and other instruments to share if you have none of your own.
Bring a friend, the more the merrier…literally!
When: Will be scheduled for special events. Due to low attendance they will no longer be held monthly.
Each circle will focus on working through whatever theme is up on the planet or with the group. Check the calendar for dates, and in case of inclement weather, please check our home page.
Where: Parastudy, 354 Valleybrook Rd, Chester Heights, PA 19017. Off Baltimore Pk (rt 1) between Glen Mills and Media.
Who: EVERYONE is welcome, no experience is necessary.
What to bring: A drum if you have one...Susan will have plenty of drums to share (see pic above). Some people like to bring a small object (stone, jewelry, etc) to infuse with energy from the circle. You may want to bring some water, or some cash to purchase some at Parastudy.
Drum Circle Facilitator: Susan Hart, LMT, RM, CMCP has been drumming since 2001 after attending her first circle, and was hooked instantly by the joyous energy. A few months later she was guided to play a frame drum over a massage client during their bodywork session; learning the resonance of the drum could instantly calm anxiety, ground energy, clear density and more! Since then Susan has accumulated a variety different types of drums and other instruments. Looking for drum circles and not finding any locally, Susan trained with Jim Donovan (of Rusted Root fame) so she could lead her own circles and have the opportunity to play and share the joy of drumming with others. | 2019-04-20T10:54:25 | http://www.parastudy.org/drum-circle-with-susan.html | [

Get the Full StoryMichael Chiesa says it would be easier for him to accept a loss to Kevin Lee in a rematch if he was beaten fair and square. There was a bit of controversy during the UFC s Fight Night event in Oklahoma in June 2017. Kevin Lee was awarded with a late first-round submission win, despite claims of opponent Michael Chiesa of not tapping to the rear-naked choke that was locked in.
Chiesa was greatly upset with the fight s presiding referee Mario Yamasaki, whom he believes should just crawl in a hole and never officiate again. And even after a year later, the TUF 15 alum still feels the sting of that loss, which he is adamant to get back.
But if he ends up with another defeat in the possible rematch against Lee, Chiesa says he would be more willing to accept it, as long as he is beaten fair and square.
We ve spoken to each other and if we rematch, when we rematch, if he beats me fair and square, so be it, you got me, Chiesa said on a recent episode of the UFC Unfiltered podcast transcript via MMA Mania . That s the nature of the beast, when you compete at the highest level you won t be undefeated.
So if he beats me fair and square, it will be tough, but I can live with that.
Chiesa actually likes his chances in a rematch against Lee, which he feels is another fight that is of main event caliber.
I just didn t think that fight was going to play out the way that it ended, Chiesa said. I want to run it back, that s a good matchup for me. And like you guys said, it s got the hype and it s a main event fight, for sure.
In the mean time, Chiesa s task at hand is his rescheduled fight against former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis. The two men will be facing each other at UFC 226 on July 7th in Las Vegas, as part of International Fight Week. | 2019-04-22T16:12:54 | http://news.onlinecasino.com/page/24350/Chiesa-If-Lee-beats-me-fair-and-square-in-rematch-I-can-live-with-that/ | [

mine has the usual problem of rear end sinking straight after start up then takes a while to raise often accomponied by loss of hydraulic pressure/brake pressure on lh display especially if you try to raise car manually it takes a while.
the hp pump is new all spheres have been replaced except the accumulator which i have ordered a new one.
Replace the accumiulator then see if the issue is resolved.
Your car only uses 2 pistons for the suspension system, so is only pumping 10cc per pump revolution. Without the reserve of pressure and fluid the Acc sphere provides, the system soon runs out of pressure when demand is high.
Can confirm Will's point about the Accumulator reserve of pressure. Even with everything in good order, if suspension system pressure is allowed/made to fall very low, starting the engine and then putting the height lever to Intermediate or High without a pause will produce a Low Hydraulic Pressure dash warning. Message disappears, but car rises skowly.
Did you replace the anti-sink sphere? if not, the suspension will leak fluid when at rest, hence the falling when system pressure builds enough to operate the anti-sink valve.
Try the start-up procedure with the hydractive system disabled (pull a fuse). If the sinking does not occur, then you probably have a case of pressure equalisation as the hydractive valve opens. The later modified (Xantia) valves don't tend to do this because they equalise the pressure when you open the door, before anyone gets in to put weight in the car.
Dieselman wrote: Did you replace the anti-sink sphere? if not, the suspension will leak fluid when at rest, hence the falling when system pressure builds enough to operate the anti-sink valve.
That is not correct information. The anti-sink sphere has no effect on the leakage or sinking of the suspension. The function of the anti-sink sphere is to provide a pressure reservoir for the rear brakes while the anti-sink valve is closed. On earlier sinker cars, the rear brake pressure reservoir was provided by the LHM in the rear struts, pressurised by the weight of the car.
The anti-sink valve creates a block to any hydraulic fluid leaking out of the suspension. The anti-sink sphere is used as the reserve pressure to ensure this valve stays closed until system pressure is attained by the pump. If the anti-sink sphere is low on pressure the valve opens and relases fluid from the suspension, thus the pump is required to refil the system.
There is no need for a reserve of rear brake pressure, as there is pressure until the rear is on the lower bump stops with the spheres fully exhaustedd of fluid.
If you have a hydraulic diagram depicting the operation as you describe, I would be keen to see it.

The anti-sink valve is held closed by a spring, there is no need for any hydraulic pressure to close it. You may note that the front anti-sink valve does not require hydraulic pressure to remain in the closed position.
That statement is true for cars without anti-sink, the whole point of the anti-sink valve is that it disconnects the rear suspension cylinders from the (leaky) brake valve, to stop the suspension form sinking, thus when the valve is closed the suspension does not provide reserve pressure to the brakes, and the extra sphere was added to provide that safely function.
"The SC/MAC sphere returns fluid under pressure to feed the rear brakes when the rear SC/MAC valve is closed".
It seems that *all* statements are essentially valid and any contradiction is probably just apparent. The misunderstanding might come from the expression of "feeding the rear brakes". The sphere does that under some circumstances but not when the car is in motion and the brakes are potentially operating.
When the car is in operation, the anti-sink valves are always open, so no description of what the sphere does with a closed valve will apply. When the car is stopped, the valve still stays open for some time. It only closes when the main pressure decreases enough to drop below the suspension side pressure. The anti-sink sphere simply provides additional pressure to make sure that the valve stays closed and doesn't reopen. It does so by adding an extra reservoir to the brake circuit side of the valve (because the brake valve, being usually the most leaky element, would deplete it). So, in this sense, it does feed the brake circuit, yes, but not in the sense that it would influence braking because the car had been stationary for long by then.
The sphere, by itself, when functioning normally, has no influence on the sinking, that's true. But if it doesn't hold pressure, the anti-sink valves will reopen and the car will sink rapidly. So, a bad sphere does have influence on sinking, and quite a drastic one at that.
Now, the question is, how is this different with the later Xantia valve? I could modify the illustrations in the description to account for that. | 2019-04-26T07:49:05 | http://www.club-xm.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9118&p=110496 | [

It’s believed that over 3,200 Washington state prisoners were released from their sentences early because of a bug which miscalculated time credits for their good behavior.
CNN reports that the bug was introduced into computer systems in 2002, when an updated version of court rulings about good beahvior credits were introduced. Apparently three percent of all releases made since then were given too much credit for their good beahvior.
Of those released prematurely, the median number of days of extra freedom granted clocked in at 49. Though the BBC claims that one prisoner had his sentence cut by a frankly amazing 600 days.
A full fix for the bug is expected to be rolled out by January 7th.
For those prisoners released early, it’s not all good news. Officials have said that they will be required to fulfil their sentences, though they will also receive good beahvior credit for the days they’ve spent abiding by the law outside of prison. | 2019-04-26T11:59:31 | https://gizmodo.com/thousands-of-prisoners-released-early-in-washington-sta-1749416241 | [

Reduces dependence on products like deodorants, moisturisers, and makeup.
Improves skin clarity by 35% in 4 weeks.
Improves the look and feel of dry and uneven skin by 35% in 4 weeks.
All of our products are certified for compatibility with the skin's natural microbiome.
All 4 of our Standard Size Products, TSA friendly.
We recommend storing your mist in the refrigerator prior to first use. Refrigerating your AO+ Mist will keep it potent and active for 6 months.
Once you open your AO+ Mist, it's OK to leave it at room temperature, and keep it handy for use. After 4 weeks at room temperature, the bacteria will start to lose activity. Most people find that it takes them 3 - 4 weeks to use a bottle of AO+ Mist.
The shampoo is not temperature sensitive. While refrigeration will give you a cool lather, it will not extend shelf life, which is 6 months after the first pump of the bottle.
WHAT IF MY AO+ MIST ARRIVES AND IT'S WARM OR HOT?
While Mother Dirt shipments may not always arrive feeling very cold, they should not be very warm or hot either. The bacteria can withstand higher temps (remember they come from nature where some temperatures reach very high), but we do take precautions with our packaging to protect the product from extreme temperatures encountered in-transit (such as sitting in a truck on a hot day).
WHAT IF THE AO+ MIST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME?
We know that everyone's microbiome is unique, and as a result, not everyone will respond the same way. Let us know if it's not working for you and we'll issue a refund.
CAN I CONTINUE TO USE SOAP AND OTHER PRODUCTS WHILE USING THE AO+ MIST?
Yes. We'll never recommend that you abandon products you love. (Some of us at Mother Dirt still stick by our favorite conditioner, makeup, and natural deodorant.) We encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you. As best practice, we recommend applying the AO+ Mist as the very last step in your skincare routine, after all other products have had a moment to absorb.
Mother Dirt Shampoo and Face & Body Cleanser were designed specifically to be compatible with the AO+ Mist, and most off-the-shelf products are not considered biome-friendly. Some oils, such as coconut oil, are biome-friendly (as long as they are preservative and added-fragrance free), and will not harm the good bacteria on the skin.
IS THE AO+ MIST OKAY TO USE ON MY KIDS?
The AO+ Mist and Mother Dirt products are safe for use on children. Our ingredients are on each of the product pages, please feel free to run them by a pediatrician or doctor if you would like.
WHAT IF I WANT TO REMOVE THE AO+ MIST FROM MY SKIN ONCE I'VE APPLIED IT?
If for any reason you would like to remove the AO+Mist from the skin, it can easily be removed with conventional soap and warm water.
DOES THE AO+ MIST HAVE A SCENT?
The AO+ Mist has no scent.
DOES THE SHAMPOO CONTAIN LIVE BACTERIA?
The shampoo does not contain live AOB, but it's specifically formulated to nurture the good bacteria that you get from your AO+ Mist.
I DYE MY HAIR, CAN I USE THE SHAMPOO?
Absolutely! The shampoo is safe for colour treated hair.
CAN I STILL USE MY CONDITIONER?
20% of users find that they don't need to use conditioner with the shampoo. However, if you find that you need to use it - no problem! Just keep the conditioner away from the roots and it's all good.
The Shampoo has a very light scent of rosewater (one of the ingredients).
IS THE SHAMPOO OKAY TO USE ON MY KIDS?
The Shampoo and other Mother Dirt products are safe for use on children. Our ingredients are on each of the product pages, please feel free to run them by a paediatrician or doctor if you would like.
The cleanser is not temperature sensitive. While refrigeration will give you a cool lather, it will not extend the shelf life, which is 8 weeks after the first pump of the bottle.
DOES THE CLEANSER CONTAIN LIVE BACTERIA?
The cleanser does not contain live AOB, but it's specifically formulated to nurture the good bacteria that you get from your AO+ Mist, keeping your scalp biome healthy.
CAN I STILL USE MY SHAVING CREAM, AND/OR MOISTURIZER?
Yes. We'll never recommend that you abandon products you love. We encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you. As best practice, we recommend applying the Mist as the very last step in your cleansing and skincare routine, after all other products have had a moment to absorb.
The Cleanser has a very light scent of rosewater (one of the ingredients).
IS THE CLEANSER OKAY TO USE ON MY KIDS?
The Cleanser and Mother Dirt products are safe for use on children. Our ingredients are on each of the product pages, please feel free to run them by a paediatrician or doctor if you would like.
Really impressed with the international shipping and packaging!
I tried the mother dirt bundle, mainly for my teen who has teen skin. It looks like its beginning to help. The main plus is that since forever, I've had an itchy scalp which is mainly due to allergy. Since using the Mother Dirt shampoo and spritzing with the AO mist, I'm practically itch free! Loving that!
Terrific service, very helpful. The products seem to be working. The moisturiser especially has made my skin so soft. I’ve only been using the products for a couple of weeks but I’m really happy with them so far.
Will you guys get the bigger sized products in?
Bought as a gift for my daughter who is very sensitive to products. I myself use the shampoo and am loving it. I have thick frizzy hair and work in a hardware but am getting away with washing my hair every 5 days. It's left clean and soft without conditioner. I'm still amazed. | 2019-04-20T20:43:21 | https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/collections/bundles/products/the-mother-dirt-4-product-bundle | [

We, at Chennai Aqua Pure Systems Pvt. Ltd. have reverse osmosis plant to clean and purify water by removing salts and other impurities to improve the color, taste or properties of the water. The plant can be used for purifying other fluids like ethanol, glycol, etc. Our plant is well equipped with all the instruments and required facilities to meet specific customer needs.
The company prefers high quality reverse osmosis membrane elements to ensure flawless operation. Reverse osmosis (RO) was the first cross flow membrane separation process to be widely commercialized. RO remove virtually all organic and inorganic compounds 90 to 99% of all ions. We have a large selection of reverse osmosis membranes to meet varying rejection requirements. The cross flow mode of filtration continuously sweeps the membrane surface clean of impurities, which allows for many hours of trouble free and continuous operation between chemical cleanings.
It is more energy efficient as compared to heat driven purification (distillation) and more efficient than the strong chemicals required for ion exchange. In this process, no energy – intensive phase change is required. Pores in reverse osmosis membranes are so small they have not yet been resolved, even by the most advanced microscopic techniques. These are generally regarded to be in the 0.0001-micron range, four orders of magnitude smaller than the finest of the normal – flow particle filter.
Allow the membrane to continually clean itself.
Capable of rejecting bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other constituents. | 2019-04-23T18:20:44 | http://chennaiaquapure.com/reverse-osmosis-plant/ | [

KUWAIT | MUMBAI, January 7, 2019: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced that the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) is now operational on TCS BaNCS, its flagship banking platform that helps financial services institutions embrace open and innovative technologies that enhance end-customer experience.
CBK is the banker to the Government of Kuwait, responsible for the country’s monetary and credit policies. It embarked on a technology transformation journey to upgrade the IT infrastructure systems.
As part of that transformational initiative, CBK selected TCS BaNCS for its open architecture, rich functionality, flawless implementation track record across more than 450 sites worldwide, and longstanding partnerships with leading financial institutions in the Middle East. Following a successful implementation, TCS BaNCS’ depth and breadth of functionality is expected to significantly enhance the central bank’s support for, and oversight of, the industry, strengthen its architecture and linkages to broader financial systems, and position it well to address the opportunities of the future.
The implemented solution automates the core processes associated with government securities, such as issuance, repo, OTC, coupons, and redemption. The platform’s real-time interfaces with data feeds and market applications have enabled high levels of Straight-Through Processing, thereby eliminating the need for human intervention, and reducing the turnaround times and possibility of errors. Productivity is further enhanced by using the platform’s auto-authorization features to automate manual processes.
The new solution from TCS will improve the efficiency of services delivered to government entities and banks, streamline operational processes, provide new and enriched functionality, reinforce information security controls to ensure robust security and enhanced stability of their financial infrastructure, and incorporate best practices in reporting. The bank’s process control and monitoring capabilities have been significantly boosted by TCS BaNCS’ dynamic and visual dashboards.
Automated debt management capabilities enable market model changes in line with other leading central banks across the world. Furthermore, TCS BaNCS conforms to open banking standards and integrates with ancillary solutions and a partner ecosystem, helping CBK to create an enlarged, enriched and connected banking ecosystem. | 2019-04-21T14:10:12 | https://www.tcs.com/central-bank-of-kuwait-modernizes-technology-platform-with-tcs-bancs | [

Among the first discotheques in Europe, after London and Paris, it was opened in 1967 in Belgrade. It was named "kod Laze Secera" (at Laza Sugar`s) after the owner then and people were coming there because of quality music and great atmosphere. The reopening took place in 2015 when the club was simply named Secer (Sugar). This small club is within easy reach of the city center. | 2019-04-25T13:59:38 | https://belgrade-beat.com/nightlife/clubs/secer | [

Atari Ferrari share details on single “Born In The Wrong Time”! – What Happened to your Band?
Atari Ferrari share details on single “Born In The Wrong Time”!
Atari Ferrari are an independent & self-produced rock band from Spokane, Washington. They came together originally as a one-night-only tribute band, following the death of David Bowie.
They are Matthew Hughes (vocals, guitar, songwriter) known on his own as Automatic Shoes, Robert Shugert (drums) & Eric Woodard (guitar, vocals) both former members of established Spokane rockers, The Camaros, and another Spokane native Scott Schultz (bass, vocals), formerly of the band Mythship.
“I wanted to write something somewhat political, but also that everyone could agree with. I would hope to bring people together with music instead of divide us further. I wanted and early 70s glam vibe, which is why I wore Marc Bolan’s boots in the video, crossed with a bit of Pretenders”.

HARARE – Senior officials from the ruling Zanu-PF party have reportedly indicated that President Robert Mugabe might be forced to quit before his current tenure ends in 2018 due to “explosive succession and economic problems”.
This comes as Mugabe, 91, continues to make blunders which the opposition says is a sign the veteran leader is “too old” to continue leading Zimbabwe.
According to the privately owned The Standard newspaper, the past 10 months have been especially telling for Mugabe, who among other things, revealed that his wife has literally “captured me at home”, declared his rival Morgan Tsvangirai the legitimate winner of the 2008 poll, famously fell down a flight of steps in Harare, and read a wrong speech at the opening of parliament last week.
The report says that although Mugabe is visibly frail, those close to him claim he is as fit as a fiddle and that he only suffers from an eye cataract. They also claim he will be fit to contest the 2018 elections when he will be 94.
But top Zanu-PF insiders indicate the nonagenarian might quit soon, according to the Zimbabwe Independent newspaper.
“We have been told that [Mugabe] is leaving after his SADC and AU mandates. Since he completed his SADC tenure last month and is finishing the AU one in January, our understanding is that he will leave anytime after that,” a senior official close to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa was quoted as saying.
Mnangagwa is widely tipped to be Mugabe’s successor, with the report saying he has over the past months been seen increasingly overseeing the day-to-day running of government.
Another official quoted by the newspaper said it would not be surprising if Mugabe were to go before 2018 following his “monumental political blunder” of reading the wrong speech in parliament.
But Mugabe’s spokesperson, George Charamba denied the speculation, saying Mugabe would be available for the 2018 elections.
The post Robert Mugabe might quit before end of tenure – Zanu-PF officials appeared first on The Zimbabwe Mail. | 2019-04-21T22:58:27 | https://www.thezimbabwedaily.com/news/37482-robert-mugabe-might-quit-before-end-of-tenure-zanu-pf-officials.html | [

These issues became very apparent in the Uber app clone code. As a solution we updated the layout to use an approach that’s asynchronous and fetches data in batches. This made the layout far more responsive.
// Another update must have run while we were waiting for the bounding box.
// in which case, that update would be more recent than this one. | 2019-04-21T11:15:55 | http://www.codenameone.com/blog/map-layout-update.html | [

Windows Workflow Foundation is a ground-breaking addition to the core of the .NET Framework that allows you to orchestrate human and system interactions as a series of workflows that can be easily mapped, analyzed, adjusted, and implemented. As business problems become more complex, the need for a workflow-based solution has never been more evident. WF provides a simple and consistent way to model and implement complex problems. As a developer, you focus on developing the business logic for individual workflow tasks. The runtime handles the execution of those tasks after they have been composed into a workflow. | 2019-04-26T12:46:55 | http://ebook-dl.com/book/749 | [

Nine Emerging Designers to Wat..
How the Mt Tamborine House Sta..
The Hoshi lounging range from Tom Skeehan is defined by a sense of Japanese minimalism, as seen through the tubular profile of the timber frame.
With a classical attention to detail, the Hoshi lounge comprises a timber frame in American Ash, with both fabric or leather upholstery, and a striking leather strap flourish on the rear of the couch. In the natural stain on the frame is a featured limed wash, or Japanese Black or walnut washes.
Hoshi also available in the form of a couch, single armchair and bench seat, and is now welcomed into the Stylecraft family. Hoshi is the first such Tom Skeehan design distributed by Stylecraft, following his prestigious award wins such as Qantas Spirit of Youth Award, Design Institute of Australia Graduate of the Year Award, as well as Indesign Launch Pad. | 2019-04-18T16:42:48 | https://www.habitusliving.com/products/hoshi | [

It’s the second week in the month and I’m well on my way to meet my goal of 1,000 miles this year! This weekend we were lucky enough to enjoy some deliciously warm weather – 60 degrees – so even after a 11 mile run on Friday night, I decided to get out for a run on Sunday to enjoy some new sneakers plus a run in shorts.
There have been a few challenges – the weather hasn’t been the best and many of my runs in the morning have been on the treadmill at the gym, as opposed to outside as I would prefer. But it’s March and the weather will hopefully turn soon, meaning I’m on my way to warmer and less icy days!
Wow… How did I get in a run every day that week?
Was due for a 10 miler on Saturday, but B’s knees and shins were hurting him , so I opted to go out for a run by myself on Friday after work. I felt decent for the first double digit run I’d had in a while and I was definitely glad to have gotten the run over with so I could relax and enjoy the weekend with B!
I was out of town Tuesday and Wednesday this week, so I was thinking that getting a workout in wouldn’t be to easy — until I realized that I could set my alarm for 6:10 (instead of 5:35 a.m.) on Wednesday to work out before my meeting! It’s the little things.
We were due for a 10k on Saturday, but we were in Cincinnati and I honestly didn’t expect us to run at all – but we ended up doing the Bockfest 5k! Didn’t run for time, but felt good to get out for a run, even in the middle of a beer festival.
This past week was great, running-wise. We had an 11 miler scheduled for the weekend, but B and I decided to get it in on Friday after work. I felt much better than I did on my 10 miler (maybe because I actually drank a ton of water that day?) and it was great to just relax and use the elliptical on Saturday. Sunday’s weather was so nice, I couldn’t not go out and enjoy it? PLUS I had just gotten new sneakers! That’s right, I’m retiring the pink Sauconys (they were great though, just worn down) for some pink Nikes.
The view from my run on Sunday … BEAUTIFUL day!
Do you find yourself running on off days if the weather is nice?
Does buying new running shoes or gear get you excited for a run?
I leave you with the view on Lake Erie Sunday night as the sun was setting. Beautiful! | 2019-04-22T13:31:45 | https://icrashedtheweb.com/2013/03/12/ | [

Thanks to the many supportive friends and colleagues who came to see the show: Today is not the end of another year, but the start of a new one. Keep your chin up…no act of kindness no matter how small, is ever wasted. A hungry baby will not settle or sleep. Thank you for being you. I grew up to have a fear of conflict with females.
Posted by Red 4 comments: At the same time I felt sad for this person who could not believe that abundant constant joy is a possibility. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Maryann was so funny and I joy to interview with. It literally fills me with a shot of joy whenever I come across a person who is authentic. It is interesting that Frank's awareness that his mother is holding him back comes only after he has traveled west.
Nevertheless, the university also has a superbly equipped media campus, staffed by very experienced industry professionals, which sealed the deal for me. Thanks for the picture of a happy, healthy, mature woman! Everyone saying there was areas they did not understand and the teachers responded with silence. There are a few things I would like to be able to "tweek" in order to make things better. In most countries healthcare is free for infants so it always pays to err on the side of caution and have your baby checked by your GP. Maybe you should have stopped counting there though. We have to be able to grow up.
For us that means spankings. It was clear that creativity, commitment, and resolve were key factors in the selection process. Thanks for this article. I am still not blogging partly because of fears like this but then some others too. It meant so much to me to have you all there beside me. I hope that you continue to change the lives of others with your positivity, love, and beautiful spirit. | 2019-04-24T15:56:30 | http://airport-taxis-chelmsford.info/mature/happy-mature-blogspot.php | [

I’m a mother, significant other, entrepreneur just trying to see where life takes me and help and empower other women along the way!
Ms. Health and Fitness and Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors would like to thank Ashley Bowman and her voters for helping us donate $179,724.93 to our injured United States military veterans!
Start somewhere, anywhere. And ask for help. We all started our journeys at some point and had plenty of help along the way. Start with small things like making healthier choices, being more active, reading a little more. Most importantly don’t ever give up on yourself.
Well it creates endorphins and “endorphins make you happy” Legally Blonde, anyone?! But seriously, I was on a pretty destructive path before I found health and fitness, I think it gives an outlet, somewhere I can channel my stresses and release my problems. I believe it helps me stay sharper mentally because it always requires work and learning. And because it’s also my professional field it allows me to help other women everyday, for them to believe in themselves again.
I would use it as a down payment for a home. My fiancé and I want to buy a house and are in the process of saving to do so but that would definitely speed the process up which would be awesome for my little guy so he can get into a better school system for middle and high school. | 2019-04-24T12:52:20 | https://mshealthandfitness.com/2018/ashley-bowman | [

Mortgage lenders expect to further relax credit standards in the coming year, which could help some first-time buyers who have been shut out of the market finally get a foot in the door.
Fannie Mae’s fourth-quarter 2015 Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey found that 16 percent of lenders plan to ease credits standards for GSE-eligible loans in the next three months compared with 2 percent that expect to tighten them. In a statement accompanying the report, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Doug Duncan noted that loosening standards could spur an uptick in first-timer buyers, who have been hampered by limited inventory, rising mortgage rates, and home prices that are growing faster than incomes.
“Thoughtful easing will help mitigate some of the affordability decline moving into 2016,” he said.
Longer closing periods may be partially responsible for the substantial November drop in U.S. existing-home sales, which fell to their lowest level in a year and a half.
According to a report from the National Association of Realtors, there were 4.76 million existing-home sales in November, a decline of 10.5 percent from October and the fewest since April 2014. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun explained that because signed sales contract have remained steady over the past few months, the decrease may be more of aberration as the industry adapts to the new mortgage regulations implemented by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Nearly half of all respondents to a NAR survey reported longer closing time frames in November compared with 37 percent in the previous month.
More than half of Americans own pets, leading some builders to offer luxury features designed to pamper four-legged friends.
A recent survey from John Burns Real Estate Consulting found that 45 percent of pet owners report treating their animals like royalty. Builders have responded, with some offering pet suites that range in price from $1,500 to $16,000. These suites often feature dog-wash areas, beds, and cameras that owners can use to check in on Fido when they’re not home.
And owners planning to put their properties on the market may be in luck if they live near a dog park, as 44 percent of those polled indicated that they would like to have one in their neighborhood. | 2019-04-19T00:48:03 | https://www.robcostabile.com/real-estate-roundup-credit-restrictions-to-ease-in-the-new-year/ | [

The treeview doesn't give the same output as the plugin list, which makes it hard to take as reference. I was trying to copy the same list when I noticed that this happens.
The rest of the program seems to start from FX1, only the treeview starts with 0.
1.17.02.47 fixes this, I think.
Thanks for the patch. Closing this one. | 2019-04-20T04:53:17 | https://forum.openmpt.org/index.php?topic=1321.0 | [

Heaney, J., & Heaney, M. (2008). Services Branding Strategies: Using Corporate Branding to Market Educational Institutions. Academy of World Business, Marketing and Mangement Development Conference.
Corporate Branding has been suggested as an appropriate branding strategy for branding services as opposed to service product branding (Dall’Olmo Riley and de Chernatony, 2000). As corporate branding takes into account the perspectives of various stakeholders associated with the organization, this concept then becomes a crucial strategy when branding and marketing educational institutions. This paper provides an important theoretical contribution to services marketing literature by providing conceptual applications of corporate branding to educational institutions.
The paper also examines how different stakeholders including staff, students, admissions officers and other related faculty and parents can be integrated to enhance the branding of education. In addition to the theoretical contribution, managerial implications on using corporate branding are raised as part of future research issues. | 2019-04-23T08:03:49 | https://researchonline.nd.edu.au/bus_conference/1/ | [

Editor's note: Stephen Lemons is a blogger and columnist with Phoenix New Times in Phoenix, Arizona.
Phoenix, Arizona (CNN) -- Every movement needs heroes. The fight against discrimination in the state of Arizona just got nine.
Sometime before noon Tuesday, nine activists entwined their bodies in a thick steel chain, locking themselves to the doors of the Arizona Capitol in protest against the recently passed Senate Bill 1070, a bill that would open the door to racial profiling in the Grand Canyon state and force all law enforcement officers with "reasonable suspicion" to inquire about the immigration status of those they stop.
In a statement, the nine activists said they chained themselves to the doors "because nothing else has worked. ... Our purpose is to expose Arizona's apartheid legislation, and to uphold our dignity and human rights."
If the use of the word apartheid seems extreme to the uninitiated, all I can say is that you have to know this bill, and this state, to understand that it is, unfortunately, all too correct. Brewer should veto this dangerous, abhorrent and costly measure.
The new legislation, which was written by state Sen. Russell Pearce, resembles the dictates of an authoritarian government. It would presume all those stopped by police to be immigrants unlawfully present in the United States unless they are carrying one of several forms of federal or state ID. Even citizens could be held if they do not have their papers on them.
Those here illegally would be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Aliens here legally, who are not in possession of their registration documents, could be fined $500 and jailed for six months.
Police agencies that do not enforce federal immigration law "to less than the full extent permitted," according to the bill, could be sued by any legal Arizona resident and fined anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 a day.
Although the new law would apply to all residents, in determining "reasonable suspicion" the legislation allows police to take into consideration any two of the following: race, color or national origin. Considering the state's proximity to Mexico, and the fact that nearly one-third of Arizona's population is Hispanic, mass racial profiling will be the inevitable consequence if the governor fails to veto the measure.
As the legislation has inched toward becoming law, the outcry against it has become more and more vocal, drawing both the fringes and concerned citizens into a carnival of the enraged and the desperate. The debate has become polarized, with proponents of the legislation calling opponents "open borders anarchists," and critics referring to the other side's partisans as "racists" or "Nazis."
On Monday, as the state Senate debated the measure, prayer vigils, hunger strikers and protesters comparing the bill to police state-style roundups competed with Second Amendment enthusiasts toting assault rifles and pistols, all for the attention of the media.
For the most part, the pro-firearms people didn't interact with the SB 1070 protesters (gun laws in Arizona allow residents legally to carry their firearms either openly or concealed), but one enraged gun-wearer began shouting, blaming the demonstrators for the death of Rob Krentz, the southern Arizona rancher slain recently, some believe by a drug runner or human smuggler from Mexico.
The man was mostly ignored by the anti-SB 1070 crowd. They were intent on a mock funeral of political "courage," complete with coffins, weeping women and a minister with the United Church of Christ, outfitted in a dog collar.
But on Tuesday, the chaos was more desperate. Hundreds swarmed the Capitol for a rally urging Brewer to veto the legislation, while the bill's supporters stayed away. Then the nine affixed themselves to the Capitol, which dates back to Arizona's days as a territory.
The Capitol Police had to squeeze through the crush of reporters and activists who had crowded near the spectacle, refusing to disperse. The nine, seated, remained quiet. The bolt cutters came out, chains were cut, and the demonstrators were arrested. Later, they were transported to the Fourth Avenue Jail and charged with disorderly conduct.
But before they were bused away, something small happened -- not that odd, really, but strangely moving.
From inside a room where they had been sequestered to await their lawyers, the nine activists, all Hispanics and 20-somethings, began singing "We Shall Overcome," the anthem of the civil rights movement.
As I listened along with other reporters, bystanders, tourists and groups of schoolchildren there to inspect the Capitol, I felt something like hope tinged with defiance, even as SB 1070 sits poised to rend Arizona's social fabric, bringing forth a new order that is odious -- and un-American.
Nine brave young men and women just stood in the way of that injustice, in an outcry they hope their nation hears.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Stephen Lemons.
Will others follow Arizona's lead on immigration? | 2019-04-26T04:45:20 | http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/04/22/lemons.arizona.immigration/index.html | [

Winter weather conditions can be miserable and even dangerous at times. Temperatures may plummet well below the freezing mark, and they may remain at this frigid level for days or weeks on end. In addition, snow and ice can be problematic. The most basic and important function of your home is for it to be your shelter, so you understandably need to keep these unpleasant weather conditions from impacting your home’s interior. Unfortunately, some homes may have various repair issues that allow cold air and moisture to penetrate into the home. These are some of the home repair projects that may be needed around your property to keep cold air outdoors. | 2019-04-18T21:14:22 | https://thisladyblogs.com/tag/winter-weather/ | [

SR #0: What’s so Special?
Okay, if you’ll all take your seats and quiet down we can begin. I’ll keep this very short today because I know it’s Spring and many of you are eager to get out there and walk Frisbees and throw dogs… I mean — well you know what I mean.
The point is, that in keeping with spring, I’m aiming to keep these posts light and breezy. Unfortunately, I have terrible aim, so we’ll see how that goes. I never met a paragraph I couldn’t make longer!
Today begins a series of posts discussing Special Relativity. I’m going to start off by explaining what makes it “special” as well as what we mean by “relativity.” (And note that, from now on, I’ll usually just write “SR” — “Special Relativity” is a lot to type!) I’ll also introduce you to a few other important basic concepts.
By the time we finish this series of articles, this diagram should make complete sense to you!
Last Saturday I gave you an overview of some of the consequences of SR. By the end of the series, I hope to have given you a good explanation of how those things occur. It will take us a while to get there, but every journey starts with a single step, so let’s take those first steps now.
Basically, this is about motion and, in particular, about relative motion. That’s the “relativity” part of the name right there.
If Al is “standing still” and Em is “moving past” then Al sees Em moving relative to himself. But how can we be sure Al actually is the still one while Em is the moving one?
If Al is right next to us — say we’re sitting on a bench — we can obviously tell he’s not moving closer or further away from us or the bench. We can prove this by reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder at any time to reassure ourselves he hasn’t moved.
As we see Em pass by, we observe her distance decrease as she gets closer and then increase as she gets further. If she passes us closely enough, we might be able to “high-five” as she passes. So, clearly she’s moving.
But what if that bench we’re sitting on with Al is in a train car and Em is standing on the platform. We see her (and the platform) get closer, we high-five as we pass, and then she and the platform recede behind us.
Meanwhile, Em sees that she’s standing still (relative to the station platform), and from her perspective we and Al have zipped past in the train car.
Both versions (with certain caveats) are correct versions of the event!
A key caveat here — the key caveat for the moment — is that the motion must be constant. It cannot involve any slowing down or speeding up. That is what makes the kind of motion we’re discussing here “special” (more about that next time).
So long as the train is moving at constant speed — and in a straight line — it is just as correct to say Em is moving as it is to say Al is moving.
The only thing we can say about not moving is that Al is not moving relative to the train car, and Em is not moving relative to the train platform.
But from Al’s point of view this is exactly the case! We’re sitting next to Al, and we can see he isn’t moving. Neither is the bench inside the train car. Everything inside the car is just sitting there (while Em equally obviously is moving past us).
In fact — and this is a really important point — there is no experiment we can perform that proves otherwise. Within the train car, it is absolutely true that we are not in motion relative to the train car. If you’ve ever been riding in a car and felt like the world was zipping past, that is a completely valid way to view it.
The ‘F’ train — as in Fake!
A minor caveat is that the sound and vibration of the train running along the tracks provides a clue that we’re moving.
But if you watched the old Mission: Impossible TV show, you may have seen that episode where they trick their target into believing he’s on a moving train using sound and mechanical effects.
For that matter, some amusement park rides do a pretty good job of tricking you into thinking that you’re moving using the same kinds of effects.
Conversely, if the train car is sound proof and has a smooth suspension, you may feel no sense of motion. Consider what it feels like to ride on a commercial aircraft. You can walk down the aisle with no sense that you’re really hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles per hour!
An important term here is frame of reference. It’s a technical term for “point of view” but it includes the idea that — for example — you, Al, the bench you’re sitting on, and the entire train car, are part of one thing: a frame of reference.
Em also has a frame of reference: the platform and the train station and — in her case — the entire Earth.
But having that larger frame of reference — even one as big as the Earth — doesn’t make hers “better” or preferred. It only means there are a lot more people who share her view that Al and the train are moving.
Special Relativity is about motion of one observer relative to another.
It’s special because that motion must be constant; no slowing down or speeding up.
In this situation, both observers can make equally valid claims they are standing still while the other is moving.
Both can also make the equally valid claim that they are moving and the other party is standing still.
Every observer has their own frame of reference.
There is no preferred frame of reference; all are equal.
Just keep in mind that some dogs have injured themselves doing this!
This entry was posted on Monday, March 16th, 2015 at 5:05 pm and tagged with Albert Einstein, constant motion, frame of reference, motion, Special Relativity and posted in Physics. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.
You weren’t kidding when you said bite sized chunks. But I’m sure the complexity will come soon enough.
I think his book is freely available at Gutenberg [Emphasis again his]. My copy is a 15th edition released in 1952 and copyrighted 1961.
Thanks for the reference! It looks like it is available on Gutenberg, but without the images, which I suspect is pretty crucial in a book like this.
It’s also available on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents, with images, so I just picked up a copy, just in case I decide to read it.
On “special”, maybe we’re saying the same thing but from different angles. It seems like I remember reading some time ago about this breakdown.
1. Galilean relativity: all motion is relative.
2. Special relativity: 1 + the speed of light is always constant, which effectively makes time, length, and mass relative.
But I may be showing my own misconceptions.
The only actual image is a drawing of Einstein, but if they also didn’t include the formulas and a couple tables, that would make it pretty useless. But for 99 cents, you can’t go wrong, so good choice, I’d say.
Incidentally, my edition has a typo. The first formula in chapter 13 should be x’ = wt’ (not x = wt’). The paragraph that follows references x’ (which will confuse you until you realize the typo), plus it’s repeated as the fourth formula in that chapter, so it’s clearly a typo.
Your , , works fine. (A quibble: I believe the mass is more tied to the energy involved, though. The famous E = MC^2 is a reduction of the full mass-energy equivalence formula when velocity is zero. (This is different from time and length changes which follow the Lorentz equation.) But I think it’s still true that what makes SR “special” is that it is restricted to inertial frames of reference — that is, frames moving with constant velocity.
As I’ll mention tomorrow, supposedly (or, at least, I’ve heard that) Einstein wanted to call his theories “equivalence” theories. SR is based on the equivalence of light speed (to all observers). GR is based on the equivalence of gravity and acceleration.
Thanks for the info. While I do understand the basics (particularly why it makes FTL likely not feasible), I’m not confident I have as good of sense of SR as you may be thinking, not the extent that I’d skip Einstein’s description of it, or yours, and I’ve never been able to get the twin paradox straight in my head.
I can relate, actually. I spent a lot of time going over the Twins Paradox — lots of diagrams on graph paper, lots of calculations (even a small Python program). The traveling twin isn’t that hard; it’s the stay at home twin that was so twisty to figure out when trying to nail down exactly what happens.
The biggest hangup I currently have is understanding what happens when the traveling twin decelerates and arrives at the remote destination. Every diagram I saw assumed the twin immediately returned, and exactly where the simultaneity is when they’re stopped at the destination isn’t really addressed. I keep thinking, what happens if the twin stays at the destination? Certainly there is a delay in messaging between the twins, but it should be a known quantity and therefor reconcilable, and so at what point in their timelines will they now be simultaneous?
I don’t expect you to answer that now. I’ll wait until you get to that point. But that’s my current hang up. I fully understand it’s a hang up since SR has far too much experimental evidence behind it for it not to be reality, or at least an extremely close approximation of it.
The trip back is really just a repeat of the trip out and doubles the time difference.
That must mean, from the traveling twin’s perspective, as they are decelerating, the at home twin’s aging speeds up dramatically, to a rate that is faster than the traveling twin’s rate. It’s the opposite of what the traveling twin has observed on the trip up to that point. Why that happens is what I’ve struggled to understand.
I’ll make you wait for the detailed answer, but if you’ve encountered the idea of a “surface of simultaneity” with regard to SR, what happens is that the traveling twin’s perception of what is simultaneous lags further into the Earth twin’s past as the trip progresses (although ahead of what light signals would indicate). Upon stopping and re-entering the same frame of reference, that surface catches up. So in a sense, yes, the Earth twin ages rapidly as that surface moves from the past to the present.
I didn’t realize you were a secret physicist, Lady Di! 🙂 You’re absolutely right, and for certain things that needs to be taken into account. The key is that, for Em standing on the platform, the actual curvature of her motion around the Earth’s axis is very close to a straight line (and the orbit around the sun even more so). Think how flat the Earth looks — so much so we used to think it was flat!
But what’s really cool is how you’re paying attention and thinking about the topic! A+ m’lady! A+!
That sounds better than ‘dead-eye catatonia’ so I’ll take it as a compliment!
It is given as such!
Nice job! I appreciate your breaking this down for people like me.
As with Tina, I appreciate the way you’re assuming nothing on behalf of the reader Wyrd, which in my case is always wise.
The goal is just one new idea per post. That means those with good familiarity may find the series slow, which is unfortunate, but it’s mainly oriented at opening doors for those with no familiarity with it (but a willingness to be fascinated by it).
This blog appears to be special. I just discovered that a lot of people are relating to it quite well! Thank you…on the curve! | 2019-04-24T13:52:45 | https://logosconcarne.com/2015/03/16/sr-0-whats-so-special/ | [

This is defnitely a mix of things I would've never thought go together- chili and pumpkin?! But it looks delicious!!!
It is really delicious. I made it three times in one week (the full, 7-quart Crock Pot recipe), and we had no leftovers. The kids ate it like crazy and asked for more.
I like to play with flavors that don't usually go together. Often, I'm very pleasantly surprised. | 2019-04-24T14:06:27 | http://i-am-so-grateful.blogspot.com/2013/11/crock-pot-gourmet-chili-with-pumpkin.html | [

This is the first post in a new series on the blog, providing a quick recap of recent political-law news and developments.
What role will non-profits have on the 2016 presidential election? According to a report in the New York Times, 501(c)(4) political activity is expected to be an important factor in the upcoming race.
Proposed federal legislation may require New York State, or some portions of it, to receive pre-clearance under the Voting Rights Act before implementing changes to voting laws.
In Wagner v. FEC, the DC Circuit Court upheld the prohibition on political contributions by federal contractors. You can see our full analysis of this important case here.
Challenges in defining coordination and enforcing restrictions means that Super PACs will continue to play an important role in federal elections, including the 2016 presidential race.
The New York City Campaign Finance Board is holding a hearing on Monday, July 13, 2015 to solicit comments on proposed amendments to Board rules on public-funds eligibility and disclosure-statement documentation. More information is available here.
The Brennan Center for Justice, the New York City Campaign Finance Board, and the Committee for Economic Development will be hosting a conference titled American Elections at the Crossroads, on Wednesday, July 22. Ann Ravel, chair of the FEC, will deliver remarks.

Hello all, is it best practice to enable AG mode on blade switches all of the time (obviously understanding that the fabric to which you're connected needs to support and be configured as such for NPIV). Are there times where it's not advantageous to do so? In addition to this if VMWare is running on the blade chassis do you normally have that also configured to use NPIV as a best practice?
I am running all my blades in AG mode. This way there is no domain management required. There is however a known DEFECT where it logs into the DCX with a phantom WWN that starts with 2500. Sometimes blocking the ports on the gateway will resolve it but it still shows up grey in EFCM 9.7.2. When blocking the ports on gateway fail you will need to do a reboot of the gateway. The fix is coming in the 6.3 FOS in September. | 2019-04-26T13:48:50 | https://community.broadcom.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN-Forums/AG-mode-on-blade-switches/td-p/12547 | [

The word optimization was used more times than I could count. One slide in particular from the presentation, entitled “Rapid Manufacturing Scenario,” caught my eye. The speaker described a series of two improvements (noted in the bar charts at the bottom of the slide) using “machining process optimization software tools.” “Hmm,” I thought “interesting stuff: virtual verification of NC code, 3D part scanning and digitization, optimal tool paths, automatic program correction”. But I couldn’t help noticing that as operational times were being slashed, the orange bar – Setup on Machine – stayed the same. In fact, nowhere in the presentation, was there a mention of machine setup improvement.
I wondered, ‘Would this ‘improved ratio’ of setup to runtime cause a machine shop to run fewer parts or more parts?” For a site grounded in Lean, I think the answer would be ‘always work on setup reduction in order to run exactly what is needed for the next process.” In the absence of that grounding however, I worry that the ratio would create more over-production to “optimize’ part cost.
After the presentation, I jumped onto the CCAT website and did find a one-day course on set-up reduction (none scheduled however) and an article on Lean simulation software, not a favorite approach with me. I think the real floor is where the action is, not the virtual floor. Call me old-fashioned.
In June 2011 our national government announced it would spend $500 million to support advanced manufacturing. I hope they understand what it means. I’m still confused. I worry that Advanced Manufacturing sounds an awful (and I mean awful) lot like Lee Iacocca’s “agile manufacturing” strategy (vintage 1990) to leapfrog Toyota’s system. History did not validate this approach; I hope it has not been repackaged for 2012.
I recall a complaint offered by Shigeo Shingo in 1989 that while at that time nobody was paying attention to SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies), there were a swarm of doctoral dissertations on algorithms for optimizing economical order quantity (advanced manufacturing?) Have we grown beyond that thinking today, or are we still squirming in quicksand?
BTW: Mark your calendar. The Northeast Shingo Prize Conference is coming up September 25-26, 2012. Hope we’ll see you there.

“I am one with the weeds,” Menrika commented jokingly while we were working together on an improvement project. She was referring to the nitty-gritty realities that present themselves to us when we are that close to the ground. The expression typically refers to getting too tangled up in details. But while it can be argued that a broad perspective may not be achievable from the ‘weeds,’ I think there are too few kaizen leaders who spend enough time there. Menrika’s comment reminded me of a few lessons I learned from my Dad when I was a tot – maybe 7.
“Funny,” I thought, “the lawn looks so much different at knee level.” There were stones and mold and bare spots and insects — all sorts of different problems that were only visible when, as Menrika would say, I was one with the weeds.
“But why do you use the frame for weeding?” I asked.
“So when do you think we’ll be done with this job?” I asked.

3P, “Production Preparation Process,” is a method introduced to the US in the mid-80’s by Chihiro Nakao, a contemporary of Mr. Ohno, and founder of Shingijutsu consulting. I recall the method was called “New Production Preparation” (NPP) early along, but apparently succumbed to a marketing intervention, hence 3P. The basic idea of 3P is to achieve, in Mr. Nakao’s words, “breakthrough or transformational changes in production process” through rapid, integrated prototyping of both product and process.
I had a 3P experience recently that reminded me how much I learn from customers. My inspiration occurred during a “mini-event” to develop a build-out addition to a surgery center. The decision to use a 3P approach to develop a better floor layout was made pretty late in the process. We had one week to investigate the current condition and understand design requirements. Then, we began, a team of eight clinicians – docs, nurses, techs and housekeepers — to “trystorm”, a term connoting brainstorming activity combined with actual doing. The first of Mr. Nakao’s “16 Catch Phrases” advocates minimal pre-planning and “lightning fast” prototyping, a criteria we closely followed: the event lasted 1½ days.
Most of the 3P team had minimal previous exposure to Lean concepts. But all were very passionate about patient care and “constructively dissatisfied” (a theme I take up in GBMP’s DVD Moments of Truth) with the status quo at the surgery center: Bed shortages in the recovery area, ORs waiting for available beds in recovery, surgeons waiting for ORs and, of course, patients waiting for everything.
When I introduced the concept of “patient-centered” healthcare from a Lean perspective, a connection between passion and principle occurred – not a perfect understanding, more a fuzzy idea that focusing on the care from the patient’s point of view might yield a breakthrough. By the end of the first day (actually half-day), there was consensus regarding the status quo and a first pass concept for improvement. We agreed to “sleep on it.” This, I have found is a very important, if not scheduled, part of the 3P process.
On day two we jumped into trystorming with a vengeance. One participant advised that she’d awakened at 2:00 a.m. with a thought. “What was it?” I asked. “That we might not come up with a better layout.” she replied. Nervous laughter. We trudged on with a concept that was based upon “adjacencies,” a word that connotes relative locations of departments to facilitate workflow. I reminded the team to focus on patient flow, and placed a couple Lego people on the prototype layout to signify the patient and his family. As we broke for lunch, there was a feeling within the team that the trystorm layout created so far would not be a breakthrough. We were facing a 4:00 p.m. deadline for a solution, and CHI-E was kicking in.
Do you have a 3P experience you can share? Please send it along.
BTW: Speaking of principle-based transformation, there’s still time to register for the fast-approaching International Shingo Conference in Jacksonville, April 30 – May 4. I’ll be there, and hope to see you too.

I take my work very seriously, but sometimes when I have excess idle time (like on the red-eye from Phoenix to Boston), I’ll have a whimsical idea. Here’s one I’d like to share, to demonstrate the universality of a good idea. My stream of thought begins with recent participation in the Boy Scouts Merit Badge University. As a counselor for music merit badge, I attended a course for their “new” training method, referred as the EDGE method. I noticed that it bore a striking resemblance to the methods used during World War II to backfill and rapidly train workers in US plants. The same method subsequently was used to help the Japanese manufacturing economy rebound after the war. And today it is experiencing resurgence on US shores, helping to standardize and improve operations in many industries. Most recently, it appears to have made it into the latest edition of the Boy Scouts Handbook. Hurrah for the Scouts, an organization from whom I think I learned more that I did from college. I suppose there is a TWI’er in Scouting today who had the foresight to pass this thinking along. I can only hope that as scouts grow into business people, that EDGE will eventually become their means for training employees.
Explain how it is done – Tell them.
Guide learners as they practice – Watch them do it.
Enable them to succeed on their own – Use memory aids, practice it, they teach it.
(4) Follows up to provide feedback and help.
Could it be that that the creators of TWI were Stooges fans?

With the International Shingo Prize Conference just a month away, I thought a short post about Shigeo Shingo and the Prize named in his honor would be worthwhile. At the time of Prize’s founding in 1988, Shingo was nearly an unknown in the U.S. His first book translated into English (1969, Japanese Management Association) was hard to understand, reading like a 1960’s instruction manual for a Japan-manufactured product. This was my introduction to Set-up reduction and source inspection (or “prevent-type mistake-proofing) techniques. Shingo’s amazing technical discoveries are credited with making just-in-time possible. Today while Shingo’s original book, the Green Book, is out of print, replaced by a slicker, more readable version, the techniques he first described in English forty years ago, SMED and Poka-Yoke, have become part of our manufacturing lexicon.
But one of Shingo’s most important contributions from the green book is often overlooked or even refuted: The concept of production as a network of process and operation. In this network, process is visualized as the flow of objects of change on one axis, and agents of change on another axis. The agents are the operators and machines that add value. The objects are the various parts that are converted from raw materials to finished goods. For those in healthcare, note that “parts” can be replaced conceptually by “patients’, and “operators” can be replaced by “providers” (e.g. docs, nurses, etc.) In Shigeo Shingo’s world, production does not refer only to manufacturing, but to any process-operation network. The concept of waste is the same, in his words, whether you are “making rice cakes or automobiles.” And where do we find nearly all of this waste? On the process axis — from the view of the part (or patient.) When we speak of “process improvement” we are referring to the process axis of Dr. Shingo’s network.
This conventional definition spills over into cost accounting implying that if all operations for a particular process are improved by say 50%, then there will be a 50% process improvement. Consider for example that standard costs are based on roll-ups of operational cost (value-added) plus a large fudge factor based upon average allocation of overhead costs (non-value-added) which, in a circular way, are stated as a multiplier of the value-added time. This is nonsense. Operational times are scrutinized and measured often to four decimal places, while process is essentially invisible in this conventional model. Make versus buy decisions are made by evaluating only a small fraction of total cost. System Efficiency is viewed as a sum over local efficiencies. More nonsense.
The English language can be confounding. Those who prefer Meriam-Webster’s definition of process to Dr. Shingo’s will never gain the benefits of Lean. How important is Shingo’s Network? What do you think? Share a story.
BTW: Looking for another kind of Shingo Network? Come join me and GBMP at the International Shingo Conference in Jacksonville, Florida, April 30-May 4. Hope to see you there.

Dapper and strong-willed electrical engineer and physicist at MIT. The iconic New England Yankee, Bush graduated from Tufts University in 1913. At MIT he developed the Differential Analyzer, an analog computer that could solve differential equations and was used during World War II to decipher code. In 1922 he cofounded the company that would become the high-tech giant Raytheon. From 1941 to 1945 he was director of the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), where he allocated funds to develop military technology, including the first atomic bomb and the radar. After the war he conceived the idea of the memex, an information storage device that would create associative links. His memex idea directly inspired Doug Engelbart, J. C. R. Licklider, and Ted Nelson. | 2019-04-25T14:11:32 | http://technomanifestos.com/index.pl?Vannevar_Bush | [

KAHULUI – As federal energy officials wrap up a statewide listening tour of sorts this week on potential environmental impacts of achieving Hawaii’s ambitious clean-energy goals, Maui County residents are hopeful their staunch opposition to “Big Wind” has been made clear.
Some Lanai and Molokai residents have attended all six meetings held so far.
Representatives with the U.S. Department of Energy, the federal Bureau of Offshore Energy Management and the state’s Energy Office held public scoping meetings this week on Maui, Lanai and Molokai, following meetings on Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island.
The goal of the meetings was to gain public input on potential impacts of a range of technologies that will be considered to help the state reach a goal of 70 percent clean energy by the year 2030 as spelled out in the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. Of that 70 percent, 40 percent will come from renewable energy production, and 30 percent from energy efficiency.
The U.S. Energy Department will be preparing a so-called “programmatic” environmental impact statement for the initiative to help guide future federal funding decisions.
The department in 2010 started the process, but focused only on plans to develop wind farms on Molokai and Lanai, and to lay an undersea cable to send the power to Oahu.
Based in part on feedback from scoping meetings on that plan, the department has revised and expanded the scope of the so-called PEIS to include additional clean energy categories. The review will now look at five broad areas: energy efficiency, distributed renewables, utility-scale renewables, alternative transportation fuels and modes, and electrical transmission and distribution.
No specific projects or sites are being proposed at this stage, said Jane Summerson, who is spearheading the review for the U.S. Department of Energy.
“We need to describe the potential affected environments on an island-by-island basis” in the PEIS, Summerson said.
She cited such examples as recreational areas, hunting, fishing or subsistence areas, and traditional cultural sites that could be affected.
“Anything that helps to characterize your island, your community, the affected environment in a way that could potentially be impacted by one of these technologies,” she said.
Summerson said that information will then be used to analyze impacts and to identify potential mitigation measures that she said could be required during construction, operation or decommissioning of projects.
A court reporter attended the meetings to log oral comments for the PEIS.
She said she does believe renewable energy is important for Hawaii’s future, but that less invasive technologies should be considered.
“The land can’t speak for itself,” Pellegrino said.
Kaye with Friends of Lanai said many of those who spoke on Lanai gave comments in Hawaiian. He said one person sang a song in Hawaiian about the uniqueness of the area where the massive windmills have been proposed, while another shared legends of sites that could be impacted.
Lester Wong, with the group Kupaa no Lanai, said the Lanai wind farm would cut off access to areas that residents regularly use for hunting, fishing and recreation.
He said the area currently is open for hunting 24 weeks out of the year.
“If these windmills are to be built on that side, I can’t see that happening anymore,” said Wong, who retired from the Maui Police Department as commander for the Lanai patrol district.
Doug McLeod, energy administrator for Maui County, said he sees the revised scope of the review as a move in the right direction because it moves away from the “narrow solution” of developing wind farms on Molokai and Lanai.
But, McLeod questioned why community opposition has not been a factor in reviewing projects under the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. He cited concerns on behalf of Mayor Alan Arakawa about a failure to consider community acceptance and benefits in the PEIS approach.
Kanohowailuku Helm – founder of the community group I Aloha Molokai, which was formed to oppose a proposed wind farm for Molokai – said three surveys of island residents have been done.
Glick, the state’s energy administrator, said at the Lanai meeting that if there were “overwhelming opposition” by a community toward a specific energy project, the state would not want to see it happen.
The U.S. Department of Energy will accept public comments until Oct. 9 to be used in completing the draft PEIS. Summerson said the department expects to issue a draft PEIS in 2013 and a final document in 2014.

With her husband, Dr. Jay Watt, she raised 3 daughters and a son who attended Corona del Mar Elementary, Lincoln Intermediate, and Corona del Mar High Schools. She became involved in the community while serving as a Girl Scout leader taking her senior Girl Scout troop to a variety of animal shelters in Orange County while working on a badge and was particularly impressed with the National Cat Protection Society which eventually opened a shelter in Newport – but could only serve a small percentage of the population of unfortunate animals. From that time forward, Jean has believed we should have a state-of-the art shelter for Newport Beach and the opportunity arose when the city leased a shelter which the Newport Beach Animal Control folks could run. When seeing this facility and the tender loving care they receive from the City’s Animal Control staff, the opportunity to start one more “friends” group for Newport Beach became a mandate. .

Shelter animals are so vulnerable and need loving care in a comfortable environment to bring out the best in them, making it easier to find forever homes.
I plan to use my past experiences to contribute to FONBAS’s goal of finding the best forever homes for our boarders as soon as possible. Some examples of these experiences include work as a financial reporter and interviewer on live T.V., and close involvement in building and designing interiors for numerous homes. On the volunteer front I have supported efforts to make people aware of the true nature of unfairly maligned wolves. In addition, I have built playhouses for Project Playhouse, an annual Newport Beach event which aids the homeless.
As the saying goes, I hope to put my “heart and hands” into expanding the capacity and services to the already exceptional shelter in Newport Beach.

When I first started putting this web page together, being minimally computer literate, I didn't really know what FAQ stood for. I was frustrated trying to figure out a way to convey a lot of info on the pages without being too boring....it was then that this whole FAQ idea made some sense.....I can put most of the really boring stuff on the same page!!! So here it is. On these pages I'll be spouting off general useless information such as favorite eateries, beaches, things to do and a bit of info about the biz and diving in general.
p.s.- I'll be adding more questions over time- this website is my 1st attempt at web building, and it isn't done yet.
A photo Pat took on my very first shore dive in Hawaii.
My name is Steve. I owned an aquarium shop for several years and always thought, "you know, a scuba business would compliment this nicely". Well, some time after I quit the aquarium business I took up scuba and loved it. Somehow I ended up an instructor and landed in Kona. I no longer have the urge to keep large quantities of fish...I am lucky enough to be able to swim in one of the largest aquariums in the world pretty much anytime I wish. Kona is loaded with the fish I used to keep and it is great to see them in their natural habitat. Anyway, back to my background/philosophy. I've been teaching scuba in Kona for a few years now . It is my desire to continue my scuba education, so don't be surprised if my class offerings expand over time. I also like to have a bit of fun. My classes will be laid back, but thorough- why cut corners if you can take a little extra time to do it right?
Hey, it's your vacation. Enjoy!
My wife Pat and I first came here together on vacation a few years back. We fell in love with it. Kona is beautiful, the people are great and the island of Hawaii has so many different things to offer. The weather is great, the diving ain't bad (now there's an understatement), it has a rural feel and still has the more urban amenities. "It's a great place to visit, but I WOULD want to live there!" So, we ended up here. Now that we're here and semi-local, we'd like to invite you to visit Kona and see what it's all about.
Your Open Water Certification class- Why do you offer additional discounted days of diving?
You learn to dive best by DIVING. Most people are diving soooo much better by the end of their first dive compared to their first few minutes. This improvement is noticeable on each and every dive. There are 4 dives required for certification and many people are just getting the hang of things around then. By doing extra diving, not only will you be a better diver, but you will get a chance to have fun diving without having to complete skills and you will also see more dive sites and conditions than I can show you on 4 dives. Any extra diving you'd like to do with us on your vacation once you are certified will be at our multi-day discount price.
You don't have to be an athlete to dive. You should be in reasonable condition, be able to walk that 12 minute mile with ease. Most agencies require a swim of 200 yards (no time limit, just need to use a recognizable stroke) or 300 yard snorkel and a 10 minute tread water as physical requirements for certification, so be prepared to do those to become certified.
All agencies will have a medical history form to fill out when you sign up for classes. If you have a medical history (any number of conditions) you'll want to request a form ahead of time to sign off on. It'll be a yes or no listing, and if you have a history of any of the conditions listed you'll need to have your doctor sign off that he see no prudent reason you shouldn't be allowed to dive (sounds worse than it is, most doctors will sign off on most of the conditions. Your average scuba professional doesn't have the medical expertise to make that kind of judgement).
Once you are certified, it's a very good idea to try to stay in shape. It can be a bit of surprise how a long layoff can make things a bit more difficult than you remembered it being.
My Friend is a Diver. Can he show me how to dive?
This is not a good idea. The average diver has not learned how to teach someone else to dive. The omission of any information could be critical. Even Dive Masters are not allowed by their agencies or insurers to train uncertified (and in most cases even certified) divers, though they are allowed to assist Instructors in training under instructor supervision in many cases. Scuba Instructors have gone through the training and possess the appropriate training materials to insure proper and safe training for those wishing to dive.
I'm a bit nervous about trying diving, is there anything I can do ahead of time to help me out?
Get in the water. Spend some time in the pool. Definitely do some snorkeling if you have the chance. A day or two of snorkeling just before an intro dive or class can make a big difference in people's confidence level. This can make things much easier if it has been some time since you've spent considerable time in the water, even for those who "used to swim like a fish". | 2019-04-22T06:54:50 | http://wanna-dive-kona.com/faq.htm | [

Similarity plays a central role in language understanding process. However, it is always difficult to precisely define on which type of data and what similarity metrics we can apply in order to assess the similarity of two texts. Previously, we proposed a four-layer system that takes into account not only string and semantic word similarities, but also word alignment and sentence structure. Our system achieved new state of the art or competitive result to state of the art on different test corpora for the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task from 2012 to 2015. The multi-layer architecture helps to deal with heterogeneous corpora which may not have been generated by the same distribution nor same domain. In this extended paper, we looked into the correlation between the two semantic processing tasks Semantic Relatedness (a more broad task of STS) and Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) to construct a co-learning model where we integrated our multi-layer architecture and Corpus Patterns technique to ultimately improve the performances of both tasks. | 2019-04-19T11:05:07 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-99701-8_3 | [

Autonomous vehicles will change everything. With self-driving cars, we are about to engage in a method of mobility that will rival the advent of the car itself in the way that it changes our world. The entire transportation system – and the communities shaped by it – will be transformed by automated vehicles.
Google brought self-driving cars to public consciousness with its highly visible cars traveling on California roads in 2009. Now, dozens of cities and dozens of manufacturers are piloting these machines. The Midwest cities of Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Minneapolis are joining London, Helsinki, Singapore and Melbourne in piloting cars or shuttle buses that can drive themselves. In Minneapolis, an autonomous shuttle bus is being tested for performance in cold weather and may be showcased at Super Bowl 2018. You can view a full list of these pilot programs here.
There is no doubt that automated vehicles also will have an impact on the environment. When travel is easier, there will be a lot more of it. That is the promise and peril of cars that drive themselves. Automated vehicles could increase miles travelled, increase energy consumption and sprawl, and make 100-mile commutes more common. After all, if you can read, sleep, or text, a 90+ minute commute might not be so objectionable. An empty car (a “zombie” vehicle) might be sent on errands that would otherwise be done by walking or bike.
Safety of automated vehicles has been the initial concern of automakers, consumers, and legislators, with debates simmering over how much better the vehicles have to perform as compared to human drivers.
Other concerns are surfacing: polluting effects on the environment, congestion and land use. Transportation is now the leading source of CO2 emissions in the U.S. And automated vehicles may increase those emissions. Forecasts on the energy impacts of automated vehicles range from a decrease of 60% in total energy consumption to an increase of 200%.
ELPC has raised these issues with agencies of the federal government, urging them to carefully consider the potential greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts – both benefits and drawbacks – that result from accelerating automated vehicle deployment. A smart, data-driven analysis of autonomous vehicle impacts – both personal and commercial – can lead to better policies that will build upon the benefits derived from cleaner fuel mandates, more efficient engines and vehicles, and other efforts to reduce emissions.
Congress is working on legislation aimed at a workable balance between encouraging innovation, setting standards for safety and uniformity, and showing necessary deference to state and local authorities to regulate streets and roadways. ELPC continues to urge that environmental impacts be carefully considered.
In Chicago, ELPC partnered with the Metropolitan Planning Council and Shared Use Mobility Center to present a series of forums to help ask the questions that need to be asked: What policies on automated vehicles should cities consider to capture the benefits of this transformational technology and address all its impacts? What policies will help ensure that automated vehicles improve the quality of life for all, not some? Watch the three-part series: The Public Sector’s Role, Envisioning the City of the Future, and Is Our Infrastructure Ready? | 2019-04-23T18:29:43 | http://elpc.org/issues/clean-transportation/autonomous-vehicles/ | [

Going to look at a 2005 vectra cdti Sri 150 at the weekend, and just wondering if there are any common problems I should be looking for (and how to spot them!). I seem to remember something about 'swirl pots', but to be honest don't know what they are or what I'd be looking for. Any advice greatfully received. Many thanks.
Best advice...Dont buy one! stick to a petrol, it will cost you less in the long run.
Maybe a bit of good advice there! I do love the way diesels drive especially the v6 but am dreading anything going wrong with her as they say they are expensive to fix. Diesel used to be cheap once over not now!
I own one ..... I wouldn't get another older one, half of it newer than when I bought it!
Maybe one of the later ones if the price was right .... But I'd still have a reserve pot for things like the DMF etc.
Shame because when it is running I love it.
Ahh, not quite the advice I was expecting. Well, that's me thoroughly put off! My other thought was to spend more and get an Insignia SRI, although again I'd be looking at diesel. Hopefully the newer design would be more reliable?!
Next we have the EGR valve which is a £100 replacement or a freebie clean up grease and replace.
Final one is again very common to every new gen diesel that is the dual mass flywheel clutch and slave. This is a biggie and can run about £1000 but many have had theirs done for about £600 all in ans some do it themselves for about £400.
Luck of the draw with them ..... Have a look around some have run like a dream for thousands of miles, however the common faults are expensive, if the car you have been looking at has had the work ..... Maybe worth it?
Def check on inlet manifold, clutch dmf and give it a good run looking for judders from engine and knocks from bushes and springs ...... What I can think of to look more in depth at on the cdti apart from the norms.
my Cdti V6 runs like a dream.Its a very responsive car and get 40+ to the gallon,not bad for a 3.0 V6. As with any modern car if they fail they can cost money its not just Vectras.Make sure you get one that has a good history, lowest miles and owners possible.
Go for it mate..the 1.9cdti is as reliable as any other car out there..the forums are here for peoople with interest in the car's and also alot of people asking for advise with problems..look at the bmw/audi/merc's/fords/ etc etc forums,there full of problems also,thats what there here for.And also look at why company's buy them for fleet vehicles,there mile munchers with low cost problems,why else would they buy them if they cost them a fortune to maintain..There is always a risk that you buy a lemon as with any car..good luck,but i recommend the 1.9cdti 07 plate onwards as i have one with no probs so far..TOUCH WOOD lol.
Vectra 1.9 CDTi buying advice..
Looking at buying a 3.0V6 CDTi:Advice please!!! | 2019-04-25T10:21:20 | https://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?124688-cdti-buying-advice | [

« Whatever Happened to all the Heroes?
Adam Gilchrist is, with good reason, rated by many as the most revolutionary player of the 21st century. Before his lusty swing came along to deposit bowlers from all over the world deep into the stands, the position of wicket keeper had been the position that harked back to the games roots.
Batsman had learnt to hit the ball harder and further, and their scores got larger and larger. Fast bowlers went from underarm lobs to viscous bouncers. Spinners added more and more mystery deliveries to their repertoire, from the doosra to the zooter. Meanwhile, wicket keepers were expected to average around 30, occasionally make a battling hundred, and gobble up everything behind the stumps, just as they always had done.
Then Gilchrist turned the game on its head.
Suddenly, having Australia five down no longer meant the hard work had been done. Ignoring the fact that he was an above-average wicket keeper, Gilchrist was one of the best batsmen in the world. On the rare occasion that the Australia top 6 failed, he would invariably change the game in a session with a counter-attacking hundred. God forbid any bowling attack that faced him coming to the crease with the score already above 300.
However, whether he was a genuine revolutionary or a one off freak remains to be seen.
Did Gilchrist really change the game, or did we just witness a player that we will never see the likes of again? It would seem from performances by other keepers since he burst onto the scene that it was the latter.
England are the most obvious example of this. Since the last Ashes series, they have tried and discarded Geraint Jones, Chris Read, Phil Mustard and Tim Ambrose, with Matt Prior having been picked, dropped, and then picked again. At various times, James Foster, Stephen Davies, Jonathan Batty and Nic Pothas have also been championed. All seem to have a major flaw, which has led to a revolving door policy.
Ten years ago, Read would have undoubtedly been the most likely option. Post-Gilchrist, Prior has seemed to be the favoured choice.
Pakistan have gone the other way. Kamran Akmal has been selected consistently for nigh on five years, despite the fact he has often seemed out of his depth. Since he exploded onto the scene in 2004/05, both facets of his game have gone backwards at an alarming rate.
However, despite not being good enough with the gloves to be a specialist keeper, nor a good enough batsman to be considered “front line”, he continues to play.
Away from these two extremes, who is the most likely to prove that the career of Gilchrist was not a one off? MS Dhoni is the most obvious choice. As a young man, Dhoni had an infuriating tendency to throw his wicket away. Maturity has made him a different beast, but has also brought him extra responsibility.
As good as Dhoni can be, the fact remains that Gilchrist never had to contend with captaincy. We may never know how good an unhindered Dhoni would have been.
Another player to have been given a long run is Brendon McCullum. He shows promise, but is another who does not make the most of his starts. Adam Gilchrist made 50’s, then made sure he turned them into hundreds. McCullum has not shown that he can do this.
Ironically, the team with the longest standing wicket keeper is the team with the “old style” wicket keeper. Mark Boucher has been a mainstay of the South Africa side, and is without doubt a wicket keeper first and batsman second. Not only that, over his long run he has become a decent number seven, capable of either holding an end up or counter-attacking with the tail.
So, has Gilchrist actually changed the game? Certainly the perception of what is required of a wicket keeper has, but this does not mean that the players are necessarily able to do it.
Flaws are being found with the keeper-batsman, not least the fact that more chance are going down behind the stumps than ever.
The pressure is then on the player to make up for these mistakes with runs. This pressure has claimed the career of more than on player in recent times. In 10 years’ time, it is quite possible that teams will go back to picking wicket keepers whose first job is to back up the bowlers. If this is the case, Gilchrist may just be even better than he is already given credit for.
No player will have the impact on the game that WG Grace did, nor the brilliance of Bradman, or the all round genius of Sobers. Perhaps Gilchrist will soon join that elite group.
