Have your kitty or small dog look snazzy with oh so sweet Flower Collar. It features lavender, daisies, white, beige and soft purple roses, and greenery, finished off with ribbed Ivory ribbons to tie in a bow. It is designed to sit over the top of the dog or cat’s everyday collar.
The Flower Collar measures approximately 35cm with an additional length of ribbon at either end. Because our Flower Collars are open at the back and tied with a ribbon, they can be adapted to suit dogs with slightly larger collars (we recommend no more than an additional 10cm).
Bark and Bloom Flower Crowns for cats, puppies or small dogs are designed for your pooch or cat to wear and are beautifully handmade. Whether it be a special occasion like a party, wedding, a photo shoot, a market or festival hang or simply to have your pooch look snazzy, our Flower Crowns are sure to delight!
Our Bark and Bloom Flower Crowns are a decorative item, designed for use at special occasions. They are not suitable for rough play and swimming. They are not a safety collar and must be worn with a regular collar underneath. Your dog must be supervised at all times whilst wearing one.

The 1932 NFL season was the 13th regular season of the National Football League. The Boston Braves (the current Washington Redskins) joined the NFL before the season, whereas the loss of the Providence Steam Roller, Cleveland Indians and Frankford Yellow Jackets dropped league membership to eight teams, the lowest in NFL history; the league also had eight teams in 1943 due to World War II.
Although the Green Bay Packers finished the season with 10 wins, the league title was determined at the time by winning percentage with ties excluded, so the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Bears finished the season tied for first place (6–1). Since both games between the teams ended in ties, the NFL arranged for the first ever playoff game to determine the NFL champion.
Extremely cold weather forced the game to be moved from Wrigley Field to the indoor Chicago Stadium. The makeshift football field in the stadium was only 80 yards long with undersized endzones, forcing officials to move the goal posts to the goal line due to a lack of space to put them at the back of the end zone, as was standard in college and professional football. This change was favored by players and fans, and the goal posts were moved to the goal line as one of several rule changes the league made in 1933, with the rule lasting until 1973.
The Bears won the playoff game 9–0, which was scoreless until the fourth quarter, and as the game counted in the final standings, the Spartans finished in third place. The Spartans became the Detroit Lions in 1934.
Because the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Bears finished the season tied for first place, a playoff game was held to determine the NFL champion.
The league decreased to eight teams in 1932.
Following the 1932 season, the NFL would be split into two divisions (later two conferences), with the champions of each meeting in a championship game.
This was the result of the end of the 1932 season, where there was a tie for first in the standings at the end of the regular season: as tied games did not count until 1972, the Spartans record of 6–1–4 and the Bears record of 6–1–6 were taken to be six wins, one loss, giving both an .857 win percentage.
Had pure win-loss differential or the current (post-1972) system of counting ties as half a win, half a loss been in place in 1932, the Packers' record of 10–3–1 (.750, +7) would have won them a fourth consecutive championship, ahead of the Spartans' 6–1–4 (.727, +5) and the Bears' 6–1–6 (.692, +5).
The Green Bay Packers were unbeaten (8–0–1) after nine games, and after the Thanksgiving weekend, their 10–1–1 record (.909) was still well ahead of Portsmouth at 5–1–4 (.833) and Chicago at 4–1–6 (.800).
In Week Twelve (December 4), the Spartans handed the Packers a 19–0 defeat, while the Bears beat the Giants 6–0. Portsmouth, at 6–1–4 (.857), took the lead, while the Packers (10–2–1) and the Bears (5–1–6) were tied for second (.833).
In Week Thirteen, the Bears hosted the Packers; a Green Bay win would have the Packers finish second with an 11–2–1 record (.846) and hand Portsmouth their first ever title. The Bears beat the Packers 9–0, meaning they finished 6–1–6, and tied for first in the standings with Portsmouth.
Though it was described as a "playoff", the Bears 9–0 win over Portsmouth on December 18 counted in the regular season standings. As such, the Bears finished at 7–1–6 (.875) and won the 1932 title, with the Packers runners-up, and the Spartans, at 6–2–4 (.750), finished third.
Kenneth "Ken" R. Wendt (January 29, 1910 – January 19, 1982) was an American football player, jurist, and politician.
Wendt was a guard for the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League in 1932. He then served in the Illinois General Assembly and as a judge in Cook County, Illinois.
The National Football League champions, prior to the merger between the National Football League (NFL) and American Football League (AFL) in 1970, were determined by two different systems. The National Football League was established on September 17, 1920, as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). The APFA changed its name in 1922 to the National Football League, which it has retained ever since.From 1921 to 1931, the APFA/NFL determined its champion by overall win–loss record, with no playoff games; ties were not counted in the winning percentage total. The APFA did not keep records of the 1920 season; they declared the Akron Pros, who finished the season with an 8–0–3 (8 wins, 0 losses, 3 ties) record, as the league's first champions, by a vote of the owners, with the Buffalo-All Americans and Decatur Staleys also claiming the title. According to modern-tie breaking rules, the Buffalo All-Americans tied Akron for the championship. The Canton Bulldogs won two straight championships from 1922 to 1923, and the Green Bay Packers won three in a row from 1929 to 1931.There also has been controversy over the championshipships of the 1921 APFA season and the 1925 NFL season, with the Buffalo All-Americans laying claim to another championship in an incident known as the "Staley Swindle" and the Pottsville Maroons being stripped of their championship in 1925 for playing an exhibition game against college football powerhouse Notre Dame's famed Four Horsemen, leading to a last minute field goal victory for the Maroons, stunning the crowd and nation, and also put the NFL ahead of college football for the first time ever. These three disputed championships contributed to the beginning of the NFL's rich history.
The 1932 NFL season resulted in a tie for first place between the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth Spartans, and could not be resolved by the typical win–loss system. To settle the tie, a playoff game was played; Chicago won the game and the championship. The following year, the NFL split into two divisions, and the winner of each division would play in the NFL Championship Game. In 1967, the NFL and the rival AFL agreed to merge, effective following the 1969 season; as part of this deal, the NFL champion from 1966 to 1969 would play the AFL champion in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game in each of the four seasons before the completed merger. The NFL Championship Game was ended after the 1969 season, succeeded by the NFC Championship Game. The champions of that game play the champions of the AFC Championship Game in the Super Bowl to determine the NFL champion.The Green Bay Packers won the most NFL championships before the merger, winning eleven of the fifty championships. The Packers were also the only team to win three straight championships, an achievement they accomplished twice: from 1929–31 and from 1965–67. The Chicago Bears won a total of eight titles, and the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, and New York Giants each won four. The Bears recorded the largest victory in a championship game, defeating the Washington Redskins 73–0 in the 1940 NFL Championship Game; six other title games ended in a shutout as well. The Philadelphia Eagles recorded two consecutive shutouts in 1948 and 1949. New York City hosted the most championship games (eight), while the highest-attended title game was the 1955 NFL Championship Game, where 85,693 fans showed up in Los Angeles to watch the Browns beat the Rams 38–14.
Staten Island () is one of the five boroughs of New York City, in the U.S. state of New York. Located in the southwest portion of the city, the borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With an estimated population of 479,458 in 2017, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi (152 km2). The borough also contains the southern-most point in the state, South Point.
The borough is coextensive with Richmond County and until 1975 was referred to as the Borough of Richmond. Staten Island has sometimes been called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government.The North Shore—especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Clifton and Stapleton—is the most urban part of the island; it contains the designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, which feature large Victorian houses. The East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile (4 km) F.D.R. Boardwalk, the fourth-longest boardwalk in the world. The South Shore, site of the 17th-century Dutch and French Huguenot settlement, developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s and is now mostly suburban in character. The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island.

Zipline Stoderzinken – pure adventure!
Stoderzinken Zipline – pure adventure!
Definitely not for people who are afraid of heights: In the Styrian holiday region of Schladming-Dachstein, the biggest zipline in all of the Alps has been opened.
The Stoderzinken Zipline begins at around 1600 m above sea level and sends you down a steel cable suspended as much as 120 m above the ground. On this 2.5 km-long ride, you will reach speeds of as much as 115 km/h.
This zipline is unique in all of Europe. It's all about nerve-tingling excitement and an adrenaline kick hand-in-hand with high safety standards. Your speed is regulated by means of wear-free eddy-current brakes. Also meaning that you will be able to break gently just prior to the end of the ride. 30 kg lightweights can rely on them completely, as can sturdier pilots weighing as much as 125 kg.

So you might ask yourself, “What is going on?” How can things be so bad that educators feel the need to petition?
Superintendent Michael Hanson’s administration issued a mandate to all school principals, vice principals and counselors to lower the number of suspensions and expulsions districtwide using a repackaged, rhetoric-filled behavioral modification program called Restorative Justice.
This Restorative Justice concept is not new. These interventions usually fail under the weight of their overexaggerated promises. This leads to an odd belief that if you decrease the number of official suspensions on paper, you can claim success regarding improved behavior.
Fresno Unified board member Christopher De La Cerda, McLane’s representative, highlighted this delusion when he stated, “The data confirms that restorative practices at McLane are working as we intended it to work.” Sort of like bragging that no one drowned in the pool after the water was removed.
If the intention was for more than 80 percent of the teaching staff to be so fed up they needed to file a petition – congratulations! Mission accomplished.
The saddest part of this debacle is that it has ironically resulted in increased insecurity and systemic violence for our teachers and students who truly want to be educated.
But here is the most disappointing fact: This situation did not need to happen; it was self-inflicted.
Three years ago, there was a wonderful, accredited, academic program in Fresno Unified that took in up to 1,600 secondary students a year, who either could not – or should not – attend a traditional high school.
This program was a last-chance beacon of hope for thousands of students who, by their own fault or the fault of others, would have had no real chance of graduating from high school. It was called the J.E.Young Academic Center (JEY). It provided an educational sanctuary for the very students FUSD is trying to corral with this Restorative Justice debacle.
Every student was treated – educationally and emotionally – as a unique individual. JEY accepted the entire spectrum of students; from those whose special needs could not be adequately met, to those whose behaviors could not be adequately accommodated on a traditional high school campus. This program was an oasis for students on the precipice of failure.
It was a wonderful independent study program that served the needs of those most in need. Everybody won. But that didn’t matter.
For spurious and ego-driven reasons, this program was dismantled and diminished to a mere shell of its former self. It was replaced by a program that failed after two years. Like prisons, it involves removing those in society with unacceptable behaviors and placing them into a concentrated environment of only themselves.
If shooting oneself in the foot was considered a good thing, then FUSD could qualify as a world-class marksman regarding this issue. If FUSD really wanted to practice restorative justice, it would bring JEY back to its previous stature. Maybe Larry Powell could help.
William (Bill) Larkin monitors online credit-recovery classes in the Apex program. He taught in the JEY program for eight years. Connect with him at William.Larkin@fresnounified.org.

Net asset value reveals the percentage of a hedge fund's capital not claimed by liabilities.
Choosing the right hedge fund to invest in can be a daunting challenge, but savvy investors use a variety of tools to compare the relative strength of different funds. Net asset value is one such tool that provides insight into the true value of different funds at different times. To calculate net asset value on a hedge fund, you must first choose a calculation method, then determine the fund's total assets and liabilities.
The question of when to calculate asset values in a hedge fund can cause some confusion, but determines the method used. If a fund trades assets on multiple exchanges around the world, one exchange may be closed while two or three others are open. Because of this, asset values in some parts of the fund's portfolio will always be in flux. Some investors use the final asset values at the end of each region's respective trading day for the calculation, while others use the values from all holdings at a chosen moment in time.
Hedge funds hold a variety of assets in various states of liquidity, including stocks, currencies, options contracts and bonds. Hedge funds seeking new investors should provide in-depth information on their current holdings. When you are ready to calculate the asset values, according to your chosen method, multiply the quantity of each individual holding by its market value at that time to determine each holding's current value. Add all of the results together to determine the total asset value.
Hedge funds incur the same types of liabilities as other businesses, including debt payments, interest accumulation, salaries expenses and overhead. Add all of these expenses together to calculate the fund's total liabilities, keeping your chosen time frame in mind. Since net asset value provides a snapshot of value at a moment in time, only calculate current liabilities, including current payments of long-term debt.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines net asset value for an investment business as the difference between the company's total assets and liabilities. Use the following formula as a reference for your calculations: Net Asset Value = Total Assets - Total Liabilities The larger the net asset value as a percentage of total assets,the more efficient the fund is at maximizing profit while keeping costs low. A higher total also indicates that a fund has more capital to invest, allowing it to earn larger returns.

In the 2006 inaugural Melbourne to Vanuatu race, the daily sked was often followed by ‘The Daily News’ or friendly banter between the competitors. Wendy Gourlay became known to the fleet by a poem she penned for one of these sessions.
Wendy and husband Ken (solo circumnavigator extraordinaire) were in Melbourne for the main fleet start of the Osaka race to farewell their son Tristan and co-skipper Jamie from Force Eleven. As part of the entertainment at the farewell dinner, Wendy put pen to paper again to bid the fleet bon voyage. For those of you who enjoyed that celebration and for those who were unable to attend, here is her poem, parts one and two.

Curated For Me is a practice in which a customized shopping experience and an acceptance of AI recommendations are the norm and not the exception. See what this new trend means for your business.
Advancements in technology have enabled one-to-one messaging, and on-demand product and content personalization is now possible. Fully tailored content, customized messages, and shopping experiences that have been selected specifically for a consumer’s personality, interests, and lifestyle are becoming the norm, not the exception.
At the same time, consumer willingness to accept recommendations from bots and avatars is also growing as AI formats are becoming more relevant than traditional models and influencers. The brands and businesses that are able to tap into this trend and satisfy the individual desires of each customer will succeed.
In Malaysia, Spotify just partnered with a Kuala Lumpur-based mall, IPC shopping center, to recommend restaurants to consumers based on their playlists, using insights from Professor Robin Dando of Cornell University about how a person’s mood affects their sense of taste.
Previously, most brand communication was a one-way interaction from brand to consumers. But the dynamic has now shifted from mass to personal communication. One of the most exciting applications of Curated For Me is the growth of influencers and celebrities that are just as niche as consumer demands.
Miquela Sousa is a great example of this shift. The 19-year-old Los Angeles-based Brazilian and Spanish model and musician fills her Instagram feed with an endless stream of “outfit-of-the-day” shots, pictures of herself at events, and posts supporting social causes. Her Instagram followers, which currently number over 535,000, are dubbed “Miquelites.” But Miquela isn’t real. She’s an avatar. She’s the first of potentially millions—if not billions—of new models and influencers who can be personalized as needed.
With the ability to create customized shopping portals that feature either models made from composites of images that resemble ourselves or the people we aspire to be based on things we’ve liked in the past, e-commerce platforms could visually connect with potential buyers in completely new ways.
Imagine a future where travel platforms and ride-hailing companies have a more personalized touch. It’s a future in which travel platforms will shift their roles from travel consolidators to being concierges and curating services under one platform, owning the travel experience from start to finish.

How Is a Reference Bible Different From a Study Bible?
Written objectives for vocabulary lessons provide students with the desired outcomes in advance of each lesson plan or activity. This helps students focus on the key vocabulary skills and information you want them to learn from the lesson. Objectives also help you construct more complex lessons and activities based on a concise plan.
Learning objectives should be written in a concise manner. Begin each objective with a stem that places the student in the lesson or activity, such as "By the end of this lesson, the student will..." Next, include an active verb that the students will perform, such as "learn" or "understand." Finally, define the vocabulary objective that students are to grasp by the end of the lesson.
Include information that is specific to the vocabulary lesson or activity. If the lesson incorporates material from a reading assignment, reference information from the text in the learning objective so students can properly utilize their texts. For writing assignments and other activities, include specific vocabulary knowledge that students are expected to learn in each activity. Specific details create a clear definition of the lesson plan. This helps students focus and apply their studies.
Include new words that students will learn from the lesson, such as "preposition" or "predicate." Many students may not know these vocabulary words in advance. Including them in the lesson plan objective highlights these words for students so that they have a list of keywords to pay special attention to. This also gives students an easy way to look up unknown words that are not defined in the lesson plan so that they can understand the lesson or activity.
An example of a vocabulary learning objective dealing with a phonetics activity might be "In this activity, the student will learn and practice the proper pronunciation of 10 vocabulary words." For lectures and reading assignments, highlight the information students are to learn, as in this objective: "After this lesson, the student will understand the eight parts of speech and how they function." For worksheet activities, make the objective specific to the action to be completed, such as with this objective: "In this exercise, the student will circle the correct verb from the given choices to properly complete each sentence."

This week I've decided to continue on with my Jones family line and do a post on my 3rd great grandmother, Mary H Mitchel Jones.
I remember the first time I ever came across her name was on the death certificate for her son, my 2nd great grandfather, Alexander Hamilton Jones. What a great moment to have at last a name. I wanted her to grow and become so much more to me, so I continued digging.
Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Death Certificates, 1909-1975 [database on-line].
I have often wondered if this entry from the North Carolina County Marriage Index is for my 3rd great grandparents.
Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Marriage Collection, 1741-2004 [database on-line].
I've wondered if the middle initial "H" was for Hawkins. Perhaps this record was for another couple altogether.
Mary and Cesar Jones became property owners before 1900, a fact of which I am quite proud of. I learned of this when I reviewed Mary's will. Upon their deaths, my 3rd great grandparents were able to pass down a house and a lot, as well as 9 shares of Shepard's Point Land Company stock to their kids. You can read about the details of her will on my post Amanuensis Monday: The Will Of Mary Mitchel Jones.
Here's an example of a Shepard's Point Land Company Stock Certificate.

Want to make whole wheat bread yourself? Just follow my step by step instructions to get a fresh loaf of homemade whole wheat bread from your own oven!
4 Tbs. Butter, room temp.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Also to stand for 5 minutes.
Add the honey, salt, butter, and 1 1/2 cups of wheat flour. Mix at a low speed.
Add 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour while the mixer is running. Mix until well combined.
You may or may not need to add more flour at this point. You want the dough to come together in a sticky ball that mostly cleans the sides of the bowl, but still sticks to the bottom. Add more flour a little at a time if you need to. Lean more towards a stickier dough than a stiff dough.
Knead in your mixer for 3 minutes. Then cover and let rise until doubled. This should take about an hour.
Dump risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Shape it into a loaf sealing the seams well.
Place the loaf in a bread pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover and let rise until doubled (about a half hour to 45 minutes).
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Bake risen bread for 45-50 minutes. About half way through baking you will need to tent the wheat bread with foil to avoid over browning.
Run a cube of butter over the top of the hot bread.
Cool 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

The PC I am using right now is more than six years. I checked my blog and found the post of flash the bios in Feb 2013. I did a search in my Gmail. Wow, I found the receipt which I made the order on NCIX. NCIX has closed for years already.
There are three items. All are running on my desktop now.
Later I bought a Crucial SDD for Windows system.
I work on this PC for more than 6 years. Windows 10. Sometimes it powers off without notice. Now it is time to do some upgrade. Wait for the new computer parts from Amazon.

This Friday, November 21 at 3pm EST, please join me and Author, Speaker, “founder and Chief Encourager” of Giant Leap Consulting as we talk about his latest book, “Courage Goes to Work” as part of the Uncommon Conversations at the Coaching Commons.
Last week I wrote a question to the social networking group, Linked In. The question asked for people to ponder that if today was their last day on Earth, to name one lesson they have learned that they would like to pass along. Of course, me being who I am, I had to give a couple of examples of lessons I have learned including that the longer I live the more I realize how I am not as unique as I often wished.

Noel Gallo, an organ builder who designed a new organ at Xewkija parish church and Paolo Oreni, an international organist from Italy, gave a two-hour masterclass to organists and other musicians at the church. They also briefed pianists on the basics of organ performance and gave demonstrations on how organs are made and how they work. At the end of the session Oreni and Sara Musumeci also performed music by Bach, Liszt and Reubke on the same organ. This was part of a series of concerts and masterclasses given by Gallo, Oreni and Musumeci in Malta and Gozo to encourage people explore the beauty of this instrument. Picture shows Gallo playing the organ watched by Musumeci and Oreni.

Alternating between a woman’s childhood in a small town and as an adult in the city, this novel traces a Jehovah Witness family’s splintering belief system, their isolation, and the erosion of their relationships. As Emily becomes closer to her closeted Uncle Tyler, she begins to challenge her upbringing. Her questions about the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ insular lifestyle, rigid codes of conduct, and tenets of their faith haunt her older sister Lenora too. When Lenora disappears, everything changes and Emily becomes obsessed with taking on her sister’s identity, believing that Lenora is controlling her actions. Ultimately, Emily finds release through self-mutilation.
I loved everything about this book. I am quickly becoming a fan of ECW Press as they publish quality and unexpected gems like this one. The book intrigued me from the beginning as who hasn`t had a Jehovah`s Witness come to their door and I did know a bit about their faith so I thought this would be an interesting somewhat inside (although fictional) look into what it would be like to be part of them.
The main character, Emily, was wise beyond her years in some ways yet so sheltered in others. The story goes between past and present and the present left me feeling somewhat unbalanced yet wanting to know more. I loved the way that the story flowed and kept me intrigued to know more and eventually figure out what was going on. The parts from the present were much less straightforward than the parts set in the past so at times I found myself somewhat confused but eventually I got that this was probably also a facet of her mindset. The author was able to create two very distinct personalities in the same character and you could clearly see the changes that time and circumstance had wrought on Emily.
The story was not conventional by any means and that as definitely part of its appeal to me. Not only was Emily raised as a Jehovah`s Witness, there was also her closeted uncle and her rebellious sister that added their own personal elements to the story.
I am definitely looking forward to the next novel by Jennifer as I cannot imagine what she could possibly write to top this one but I am sure that based on her fantastic descriptions and the very fact that she was able to come up with something so interesting that she will find a way to.

Let's start with my personal hero: Scott Hanselman. Scott has many amazing tech presentations. In fact all of his presentations are amazing. But my favorite one in 2012 was not technical.
Nicole Sullivan is also a geek, probably more famous from her CSS presentations. But the 2012 favourite is again a non-techie talk.
By Ira Glass, host and producer of This American Life. Catchy voice, and it is just funny what topics he addresses whilst he teaches you how to create balloon animals for children.

. Published on October 24, 2018 .
Your biggest day requires your most beautiful complexion which is why pre-wedding skin preparation is the workout not to be missed.
The ring is perfect, your dress is perfection and the venue is breathtaking – you’ve organised everything just right, so what about your skin? It’s likely you’ve already booked a photographer and hair & makeup artist but have you spoken to your Skin Technician? On your big day we know you’ll glow from the inside out but a radiant complexion is that special icing on your wedding day look.
We chat with Ultraceuticals Global Education Ambassador, Tracey Beeby on how to get started.
I want perfect skin on my wedding day, how far in advance do I need to begin a skin regimen?
Begin treating your skin as early as possible as this will allow you to relax with a maintenance program prior to the big day. I’d recommend at least six months as the minimum that a skin regimen should begin however if there are specific concerns you’d like to focus on – such as blemishes or pigmentation – these should begin at least a year before.
I have a lot to plan! Where is the best place to start when it comes to wedding day skin?
As with all skin treatments, the best way to begin is with a thorough skin assessment. This will allow you to discuss your needs with a Skin Technician and together work to a plan that not only suits you financially, but importantly will deliver results in the required time frame. And make sure you also consider the skin on your body – I’d suggest the regular use of a cosmeceutical body cream and sunscreen.
Planning a wedding is stressful. Do you have any tips for last minute breakouts?
Aside from a regular skincare routine, a good diet and regular exercise is vital. However, with all that planning stress, breakouts are inevitable! Have a spot treatment on hand such as the Ultraceuticals Ultra Clear Spot Treatment this can be used up to three times daily and will assist to clear the spot as quickly as it arrived. And remember, never try new products or treatments within the final four weeks of the wedding just in case a negative skin response may occur.
Start with a thorough skin health check to ensure a good home care program is integrated with personalised cosmetic clinic treatments. Homecare should include the basics: cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen and environmental protection with treatment serums then added to target specific concerns. Clinic treatments should be performed fortnightly or monthly depending on the results required.
No intense treatments should be performed within one month of the big day and so this is the ideal time for monthly or fortnightly skin peels and maintenance treatments. Sunscreen must be worn daily on the body as well as the face to prevent tan lines developing that may work against your dress design.
As peels are not recommended during this time focus on maintenance treatments including LED light therapy to enhance the skin’s glow before the big day and spa body services for relaxation.
Diligence and routine with homecare is vital to prevent any potential breakouts on the day. If masks and a physical exfoliant are part of your original homecare program, these may be used at home one week out.
Your commitment to skin health has served you well. Stick to your routine, prep with UV protection for your outdoor photo moments, and stay hydrated with regular spritz of a skin mist. Then just relax, go forth and glow!
To start your journey to your best possible skin and discuss how to create a skincare regimen for glowing wedding day skin, visit your local Ultraceuticals expert clinic for a consultation with one of our qualified Skin Technicians.

Founded in May 1990 in the Franconian metropolis, today's agency headquarters is still on the Prinzregentenufer. Since 2015 we have been living the working world 4.0 in Laufertormauer 22: mobile desks, glass meeting room, cooking events and kickers, dynamic project processes and agile working methods characterise the communicative everyday life at the city wall.
Mobility and environmental awareness are not only lived by our employees. The arrival of the self-sufficient, mobile miniloft "KARL" and the installation of a power line for the fast loading of the environmentally friendly agency Tesla are just some of the topics that the young PR team in the smart living and modern workplace area are concerned with. No wonder, then, that Kaltwasser Kommunikation has taken second place in the German PR agency ranking in the field of environmental communication.
At our location in Northern Bavaria, we maintain long-standing and trustful customer relationships both with corporations and SMEs - and of course we regularly support start-ups and innovators from the region. Industry, energy and consumer electronics are our traditional industry focal points. Corporate communication and change communication, citizen communication and product communication have been the core competencies of our Franconian Kaltwasser-team for decades, focusing on topics such as industry 4.0, digitization and change, word-of-mouth campaigns, brand introduction and cross-media PR concepts as well as stakeholder communication.
Our heart has always been beating for young communication talents. It is therefore only logical that we have also been managing and promoting the development of junior staff of the Public Relations Professional Association DPRG for many years from our location in Nuremberg.
A network of strong partners - above all our "roommates" from the advertising agency Fixpunkt – enables us to quickly process and design print and digital media, such as employee and customer magazines (online and offline), roll-ups or large-format billboards as well as advertisements and websites - in other words, the entire range of a full-service agency.
But our network goes even further: We are regularly involved in a good cause, whether it is the cold water grill challenge, the support of the local communication museum or the jailart initiative "Art in Jail" - we not only work in Nuremberg, we also live here.
Talk to us or come and have a coffee with us. Our Nuremberg office is located in the heart of Nuremberg, and is only two underground stations away from the main station.

As an Occupational Therapist, I have always strived to maintain good sitting posture, be aware of my office ergonomics and live a healthy and active lifestyle. So it is somewhat alarming to realise that 30 minutes of exercise every day is not enough to counter-act the effects of sitting all day at work.
From a personal perspective I was quietly excited to think that there was something else that I could do for my health rather than face that run that I dread every afternoon, but from a professional perspective I realised that it would be a challenge to change the habits and expectation of what a typical office worker should do all day…….SIT.
Researchers have linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels.
Research shows that reduced sitting could have a considerable impact on cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
The health burden associated with insufficient physical activity is likely to far exceed the health burden of associated computer-related musculo-skeletal disorders.
Humans weren’t designed to be so immobile – just think back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. As an Occupational Therapist I am well aware of the benefit and very proactive in my support for ergonomic chairs in the work place (and the reasons for those will fill another blog another time!) – but these ergonomic improvements are not enough to off-set the health issues associated with prolonged sitting.
So, how long should we stand at work?

The latest in Jazz North East’s series of Schmazz gigs at the Jazz Café featured British guitarists Mike Walker and Stuart McCallum. All seats in the upstairs room were taken (two of the north east’s finest six-stringers bagged prime seats) and the stage resembled the guitar section of your local musical instrument store. The Greater Manchester-based duo settled down to play the first of two mainly acoustic sets in a setting Walker later described as having ‘a good vibe’.
The material consisted of original compositions (a Schmazz prerequisite) and one or two standards. The opening number had an Americana feel to it, so it came as no surprise to learn it was Bill Frisell’s Where Do We Go? Walker, a man with an impressive cv – the big bands of Mike Gibbs and Kenny Wheeler, stints with Julian Arguelles and Nikki Iles, to his latest Anglo American project, the Impossible Gentlemen – shuffled a set list at will, suggesting to McCallum they do ‘Orpheus’. A change of guitar, some retuning, a bit of banter and into Luiz Bonfá’s Black Orpheus. This and the following number – All the Things You Are – exemplified Stuart McCallum’s penchant for reharmonizing tunes. Dark tones, dense improvisations, Walker picking up on McCallum’s initial foray, further solo invention, the seamless dovetailing of ideas.
A Walker composition – Wallenda’s Last Stand – inspired by the life story of a high wire walker’s final, fatal, do or die journey and McCallum’s The French Song illustrated their talents as tunesmiths. The second set heard McCallum’s Beholden and Walker’s Clock Maker. Walker introduced the latter number with a hilarious, true tale of his friend saxophonist Iain Dixon’s father’s clock making obsession. Imagine a house full of clocks – He made one every four minutes, said Walker – all primed to chime on the hour. It was Walker’s mission in life when visiting Dixon Snr to leave before the cacophonous clock chorus struck up! A distinct folk strand ran through the second set, notably McCallum’s tune inspired by a visit to the Shetlands and his authentic folk ballad Seasons. The one time student of Walker has gone on to work in a variety of contexts including a plum job with John Surman, tenure with the hip Cinematic Orchestra and work with Tim Garland’s Northern Underground Orchestra (including an appearance at the Durham Miners’ Gala a few years ago). This Schmazz gig was one for students of the guitar rather than one for the jazz guitar purist.
Earlier, pianist Paul Taylor played a solo set in the downstairs bar. The Tyneside-based Taylor developed ideas from an impressionist palette, quietly applying complementary hues to an uncluttered canvas. The audience listened intently, some seemingly holding a breath, such was the silence during a half hour improvisation.
Next month’s Schmazz concert at the Jazz Café departs from the usual last Tuesday in the month date. The double bill of Troyka and Pulcinella can be heard on Tuesday 15 July.
Great gig, very inspiring gig Mike!
Thoroughly enjoyable gig left the jazz cafe buzzing. Great tunes, great repartee, great music, great night.

Swissquote has eliminated its minimum deposit amount, and is now providing retail FX accounts to its clients without the previous stipulation that a client must deposit $2000.
The firm has also invoked a progressive stop out methodology which is activated in the event that an account reaching stop out levels.
In terms of functionality, instead of a trader closing all open positions when reaching the stop out level, the platform will close the largest losing positions progressively until the trader is back above the stop out level. This allows other trades to remain open provided there is enough remaining equity.
Retail FX has become a very competitive environment these days, and with Swissquote’s recently established collaboration with PostFinance the firm is clearly intending to attract a new base of clients.

While I believe I executed it well, I don't have anything personal vested in the recipe and Wade doesn't seem to have posted here in over a year.) If you didn't try it, why not? And if there's anyone out there who's tried a hominy casserole before, how did this one compare?
Looked great, tasted...not so great. The Cheez Whiz was tough to take. I could not, however, imagine a better execution.

How could it be gauche to praise sazerac's recipe? Although I'm sure the execution in your skilled hands was as good as it could be. It was a great dish.
Looking back at sazerac's pronunciation, I can see one of the things that might have attracted you to the recipe.
Was it difficult to make? And would you ever use a dish like that as part of your catering repertoire?
It was actually very easy to make and I will definitely make it again for home and possibly catering. I didn't love the presentation and would probably cook the fish seperately so it didn't fall apart as much (for catering; at home I don't care as much about presentation). sazerac mentions an alternative version where the turmeric is sprinkled on the fish which is fried and added to the sauce. I may try that. I will also add a little more heat next time...I made it after the dip and I didn't want to be known as the Hot Queen so I kept it tame.
Aaaah, the dip. I tripled GWiv's recipe and started with 25 whole steamed jalapenos and 1 steamed habanero. I steamed the peppers and garlic in aluminum foil in a 325 oven (lower than I would go for roasting) until they were soft but not browned. I cut the stems off of the peppers, but didn't remove the seeds. It doesn't give any indication in the recipe that this should be done, but my dip was super spicy even with only one habanero (and no fresh). I did add about a teaspoon of fresh garlic and a few extra soda crackers and olive oil to try to tame the heat (if I had more feta I would have doubled the other ingredients without adding more peppers). I really loved the flavor and it actually tamed with chilling and the fresh veggies - still I could only eat a small amount. Just made guacamole yesterday and didn't have fresh jalapenos so he added a touch of the dip and it spiced it up nicely.
It was fun making Trixie Pea's Mac N Cheese for the potluck. I had tasted this recipe before and had actually watched her make it once at my house. I had been looking for a chance to put my own spin on the dish, and this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. I didn't really change the basic recipe all that much because it's pretty dammed good as it is, but I've never followed a recipe to the letter in my life, so I had to change up something. I doubled the recipe that she posted on LTH. In addition, I added some ground mustard, halved serranos and tomato paste to the roux before making the bechamel sauce. I later removed the serranos before adding the cheese to the finished bechamel. I ended up using 5 different cheeses; Fontina, Aged Reserve Gruyere, 5 year aged English cheddar, a mild bleu and some Parmigiano Reggiano mixed in with the panko on top. This was by far the richest (and most expensive) mac N cheese I have ever made. About the only things I would do differently next time is to maybe use a little more tomato paste than I did to give the cheese sauce a richer color (or use an orange cheddar) and I'd probably mix the panko with a bit of melted butter or truffle oil before topping the dish for better browning. I hope everyone enjoyed the dish. There wasn't much left at the end, so that's a good sign.
Sunday was just great. Due to WBBM's traffic lies and my precautions, I arrived awfully early and found very little to set up. I have to start by thanking Molly and Justin for being excellent hosts. They got everything organized and remained helpful from start to finish - providing a utensil or pointing people to supplies they needed with patience, graciousness and aplomb. I think they got a kick out of everyone coming to their place for a change.
This was my second LTH event, but I found everyone as friendly and delightful to talk to as I've read. Conversation ranged from proper internal use of drain cleaner, to lost cities in distant lands to the social skeleton key that is the 40 Year Old Virgin.
That said, there was much memorable food. My eating was divided unintentionally to three courses. Salads, appetizers and meats from around the world.
Two memorable tastes from each one: As others have said, Ramon's goi ga (a la jygach) was a refreshing blend of of flavors and textures. Despite her claims, I don't think a culinary mishap got anywhere near that dish. I also very much enjoyed the Terrasinis' spicy pickle. I heard that Mrs. Terrasini dialed back the spice for the masses. Well, let loose the hounds! I would certainly like to taste the uncensored version.
Wustlmike's olive oil flatbreads and the Giles's sardine dip married nicely. I returned for 2nds on the eatchicago-inspired pissaladiere tarts as prepared by KennyZ. And if he truly made the puff pastry as he intended, my awe in addition to my kudos.
Meats of the world yielded, among other fine contenders, Cathy2's preparation of extramsg's brined pastrami. As I showed pictures in this thread to my foodie Boston friend Abby, she immediately eyed the pastrami. "That looks great!" she wrote. It was, Abby. It was. And the piquant bites I had of JoelF's nuea naam tok as turned out by thaiobessed were a great pleasure indeed.
I realize that I forgot to add a starch plate. Or a Nubian plate. Sadly, there were many dishes I lacked the capacity (fortitude?) to try.
And for the desserts, I find myself echoing others' - Kennyz's herby fire-mint-chip ice cream made the mint chocolate chip I enjoyed as a youngster seem like a silly childish thing. Although I cannot remember if it was ultimately sorrel or another herb that finally made it in. Also, I greatly enjoyed Cookie Monster's prep of Bruce's butter cookie dough cobbler. Then again, I'm liable to go Manchurian Candidate for some stewed fruit and a crumble topping.
More than anything else, I loved being a part of such a large-scale, cooking-focused endeavor. With so many people excited to cook and serve others, dozens of hands darting this way and that to stir a pot or plate a dish, my foodie-predilections felt right at home rather than the fringes they normally occupy. It was just enriching to be in the mix with other like-minded cooks and eaters. And that was what I'll remember best.
Of course, many thanks to all the people who made this possible - especially the organizers and the hosts.
I look forward to the picnic with great anticipation.

I have to admit that I was not as fond of the radish dish as some other LTH'ers. I kept playing with it to evoke either the intense freshness and spicy undertones of raw radishes or a more flavorful cooked variety. I tried adding sauteed shallots and some fresh thyme, but do not think this greatly changed the taste all that much. The addition of the radish greens were a riff on the suggested variation of watercress in the posted recipe. I had so many lovely greens that it seemed a shame to go out and buy watercress. In retrospect, I might have added more. Some of you may have been wondering about the bread I served underneath it. I was trying to evoke the open-faced sandwich that I believe many of us have enjoyed. I intended to toast the rye bread into croutons, which I think might have been better than the sop the fresh bread became. But those are some deliciously 'enriched' slices of bread that I brought home with me, buttery with some radishy-notes.
One technical note. In order to avoid overcooking them, I cooked the radishes in three different groups based on size and stopped the cooking when each was done. This might be impractical in smaller batches, but I think it helped to preserve some texture.
I found the Derby Day salad straightforward to prepare. I think that the largest possible platter to avoid too much mounding of the lettuce is ideal for service. Or perhaps I put out a bit too much lettuce. I found that most of the flavorful toppings disappeared faster than the greens themselves. Maybe I should have upped the ratios there. As LAZ mentioned, I found the pecans a little vexing. I have never candied anything before, but I am pretty sure that even this dialed-down version could have turned out better. Not much of the sugar and butter really clung to the pecans. I think that perhaps melting the butter in a smaller pan and whisking to incorporate the sugars and white pepper before pouring over the pecans might work better in the future.
Of course, the star of this dish was the dressing itself. I chose this recipe to showcase in-season strawberries and was somewhat uneasy with the choice of bourbon as a flavoring agent. I have had it in some sweets but seldom in other applications. Well, the worries were gone with first taste. What a wonderful dressing this was. I did dial back on the lemons and increased the booze a bit as LAZ pondered doing in the original thread. It was probably closer to 3/4 of a cup of lemon juice and 1/3 or more of a cup of bourbon. I also did not measure the olive oil very carefully, but I think it was less than 2 cups. I just started whisking the non-oil ingredients and adding the light olive oil slowly until a rich emulsion had formed. Maybe call it 1 2/3 cups. Because of the addition of the mustard and honey, I found that this kept emulsified in the fridge very well. It was still integrated by the time I had poured it at the party despite being made some hours in advance.
So that's my cook's take on this little experiment. I really enjoy reading people's account so how the cooking went so do post about your experience!
Perhaps you started with bigger heads of lettuce than I used for the original salad. I probably should have given the measurement in cupfuls of greens for more accuracy -- but since I didn't measure them, this would have been difficult! The bibb lettuce I used was about 4 inches in diameter.

Ah, I thought your version had a bit more bite -- I imagine that was the reduced proportion of oil rather than the higher level of bourbon. I typically use a standard 1 part acid to 2 parts oil for vinaigrettes, and I don't bother with whisking but just pour everything into a jar and shake it up.
Thanks so much for trying my recipe. It's so fascinating how different cooks can start with the same recipe and end up with varied results because of different methods and equipment, variations in ingredients and so on, not to mention different tastes, even in a simple dish like this one. We touched on that in this thread.
You have to wonder how large restaurants manage to come up with consistent results when they have so many different cooks.
Perhaps it would be fun sometime to do an experiment in which a group of us all make the same recipe and then we compare the final dishes.

Sounds like a great idea to me. When/Where?
nr706 wrote: Sounds like a great idea to me. When/Where?
Maybe it would be better to figure out the recipe, first?
One criterion I can see is that it should be a dish any competent cook can make, rather than something that requires a lot of practice to get right (e.g. barbecue). Ideally it should be something that can be served cold or at room temperature, so the venue needn't have a kitchen.
And perhaps it ought to be part of another event, so that the prospect of a large quantity of something all the same doesn't seem so boring!
My original, inadvertent experiment of this nature was with cookies.
I enjoyed making Bridgestone's Christmas Meatballs, as I have been somewhat obsessed with charcuterie over the past few years. This was an interesting project for me because even though my wife is of Swedish descent, not very many family recipes from the 'old country' seem to have made it the present.
The wife enjoyed the meatballs (they reminded her of stuff her grandmother used to make for her when she was little) and I received several positive comments about them, including 'exemplary' and 'textbook.' I personally prefer a spicier, more aggressively seasoned rendition but that's just not the nature of the Swedish meatball. These were subtle and aromatic, with faint but distinctive notes of freshly-ground clove and allspice. Because I knew I'd be re-heating this batch, I felt like they needed a sauce, so I created one with the pan drippings that were rendered after I fried the meatballs, by creating a roux in the pan and adding beef stock to it. I also re-emphasized the clove and allspice in the sauce and then ran it all through a chinoise. Thinking about it now, some thinly sliced, sauteed mushrooms would have been a nice addition to the sauce, too.
The very best thing about the meatballs was that they were remarkably tender. This was mainly a function of triple-grinding the meat, something that the sagacious Bridgestone advised in his recipe. It had a huge impact on the final product's texture, which was soft and delicate, and I definitely plan to apply the technique to future projects. The one downside of this tenderness was that, before cooking, the meatballs were difficult to keep spherical. As we rolled them and aggregated them for frying, they tended to develop some flat edges. This might have been exacerbated by my adding too much stock to the breadcrumbs that went into the balls. I'm not 100% sure.
In any event, based on the results, the feedback I received and the fact that the entire pan of meatballs was all but polished off, I'd pretty much call the endeavor a rousing success.
It was great meeting everyone at the potluck.
There were many outstanding dishes. I have been obsessing about YourPalWill's Cochinitia Pibil (made by aschie) since I put the first bite of it in my mouth. So...today I found myself at Tony's buying habanero chiles, banana leaves, achiote and five pounds of pork shoulder. I post on the results after Sat.
I also made Ramon's chicken salad (made by jygach) the night after the potluck.
I think next up will be KennyZ's mint ice cream.
JoelF's Thai Beef Salad (Neua nom tok) was a cinch to make. I grilled the skirt steak to medium rare (I'd probably go rarer next time--it "cooked" a bit in the dressing. I stay pretty true to the recipe (tho I added a handful of mint). I'll definitely be making this again over the summer (Thanks for the recipe JoelF if you're out there).
• Instead of using white sugar, I decided to use palm sugar which, I thought, would give the dressing more depth of flavor. However, my package of palm sugar appeared to have found an undiscoverable hiding spot in my cabinet. As a substitute, I used a combination of white sugar and turbinado sugar.
• Instead of all Napa, I used a combination of Napa cabbage and red cabbage for a crunchier texture.
Others asked me to share my culinary mishaps with the Red Velvet Cake. So, in the spirit of bringing it all to the table for my LTH friends, here are my mishaps and misfortunes with dessert.
The LTH recipe for Red Velvet Cake linked to two recipes. The first used a bottle of red dye. The second used pureed red beets. I elected to go with the beet version as I had no desire to ingest dyes. Since this was a Southern cake I felt it warranted dipping into my store of White Lily flour milled in the South. This recipe not only used beets, but also had melted chocolate in addition to the cocoa. The cake batter had no hint of red but, as they say, the proof is in the baking. Sadly, 35 minutes of baking did nothing to enhance the color. It looked like a basic chocolate cake. At this point it was 1:00 am and my bed was calling.
The next morning all that remained for me to do was to whip up a cream cheese frosting and slap it onto my nine-inch cake layers. I turned to the internet and picked a cream cheese frosting recipe under the mistaken impression that they were all pretty much the same. This recipe used three ingredients – cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar. Three ingredients that, despite my efforts at stirring, whipping, begging, and praying, refused to come together to form a frosting. “Perhaps it will firm up once it’s on the cake,” I hoped, as I attempted to spread this mixture on the cake. It did not, and just kept slithering down the sides of the cake and pooling onto the parchment strips I was using to keep my serving platter pristine. After ten minutes of spreading and then watching the slip sliding I accepted this cake as a lost cause and skimmed through the recipes to find a different dessert.
Staying with the chocolate theme, I selected Super Chocolate Brownies as per the recipe posted by tcdup.
I quickly mixed together two batches and heaved a sigh of relief when they emerged looking dark and shiny. After they cooled, I cut them into squares and placed each batch on a plate. As I was wrapping the plates with foil, one plate slid out of my hands and I watched in horror as one batch of brownies lay on the floor in tiny pieces! It looked like we would have only one batch of brownies instead of two - not the end of the world.
At 3:00 p.m. I packed the food, took it to the car and drove off to pick up Cynthia. I was sharing my kitchen disasters with her when, to my utter dismay and horror, I saw the second plate of brownies slide from their safely ensconced position and land upside down onto the floor of the car in, you guessed it, small pieces. Cynthia helped me salvage a few pieces but clearly this was not an appealing pile of brownies!
You decide – just culinary mishaps or evil spirits.
BTW the brownies were indeed super!
Apparently, several of us had our tribulations.

Was this recipe as much work as it looked like? It was wonderful, but it looked like it took loads of chopping.

I do hope so. I was there, and I'm still eager to see the photos. Perhaps all the photographers are just taking extra care with their processing.
And here's the menu-related portion of the playlist of food tunes. I tried to have a song for every dish, but a few of the latecomers aren't represented.
I wish I'd done a better job of photographing the food but between the setting-up, the food prep and the eating, some stuff slipped through the cracks. I'm sorry that there are gaps in the coverage (including the dishes I made ) but I think this is a fair representation of the spread. Again, I'm sorry if I left anyone's dishes out . . .

WOW. what an amazing array of food.
Nice pictures Ronnie! I'm impressed that you were able to get as many of the dishes as you did. There was so much going on, my camera sat in its case for the entire event.
And, on a slightly egocentric note, it looks like Gary nailed his batch of "laxpudding", too! I positively couldn't have done better myself.

He indeed did nail it, and it was sensational.
And I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd missed your informative and generous review of your meatball making experiences, ronnie. Thank you very much!
Don't know if I missed it, but did figmolly post a recipe for those wonderful chocolate truffles she served as a mignardize? I went through all the pages of this thread, plus LAZ's amazing recipe index, and I couldn't find anything. Of course, being as she's in catering, it might be a trade secret, and I'd understand. But I didn't want to miss out on it if it was simply an oversight.
High praise indeed, though it is mainly due to your delicious recipe and recipe writing skill. On a slightly egocentric note of my own, I'd like to point out that Ron's terrific picture, among many, is a pre decorated Laxpudding, I went total Martha Stewart on its a**.
This was a wonderful event, thanks again to LAZ, Cathy2, The Figs, LTHers who came to the event, delicious dishes in hand, and all who have contributed to the recipe index.
Hammond may have the prize for best and worst item, gravlax spectacular, Raicilla vulgar.
Don't know if I missed it, but did figmolly post a recipe for those wonderful chocolate truffles she served as a mignardize?
Melt 5 oz. of semi sweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, butter and whipping cream over low in a heavy bottomed saucepan and mix until chocolate is melted (it's not neccesary to do this in a double boiler because of the butter and cream, but you do need to watch it carefully). Remove from heat and add liqueur, mix well. Pour into a dish about 1" deep (I use a 9x13 casserole).
Chill in the fridge until hard (I usually do this overnight). In the morning remove from fridge and let sit out about 5 minutes (will vary depending on temperature - you just want the chocolate scoopable). With a melon baller and cup of cold water, make chocolate balls dipping in water between every other one (I usually find dipping it between every one makes it too wet). Place on a sheet pan back in the fridge or freezer.
Temper the remaining semi-sweet chocolate (there are some instructions here). Dip each truffle in chocolate and place on a clean sheet pan. Decorate with a candied fennel seed.
Chocolate note: I used Callebaut chocolate pistils for the semi-sweet and Sharffenberger unsweetened.
Thanks, Molly. That Sambuca made a good truffle quite remarkable.
I was sorry to miss the potluck (was out of town), but I learned from Cathy2 at the Sun Wah pig roast that my recipe put in an appearance for me. I’m pleased that my hazelnut torte was baked by justjoan. (Too bad you couldn’t be there, jj.) Looking at Ronnie S’s picture of it, I’m curious what changes you made in it. It looks way jazzier than my version, which I usually serve rather haphazardly coated with whipped cream.

My baby brother has been gone for 11 years now, but I think of him every single day. He is one of the first things I remember when I wake in the morning. I remember that he is no longer physically with us since that dreaded day in 2002 when I got the call that he was on life support. I will never forget that moment because it changed me to the core. My babies were only 4 years old and 9 months old and having to care daily for them is what kept me going. I really can’t describe the raw pain and anguish that I experienced that first year after losing my brother….who was also a best friend to me. Although we were 12 years apart in age, we were very close and he flew to Phoenix all the way from Maryland several times a year to see me. He especially enjoyed being a young uncle and my kids really dug him.
Our precious last visit with Uncle Shane.
In addition to my supportive family and to my daily duties of caring for a preschooler and a baby, the other thing that kept me and my heartbroken Mother going was the fact that Shane had been a card-carrying organ donor, which is an usually mature decision for a then 22-year-old to have made. And he had just simply checked the yes box to being an organ donor when he excitedly obtained his driver’s license. So when he was taken from us in the accident, and my Mom was told that he could not be saved, she honored his wishes and donated his organs. Receiving letters from the organ recipients has been one of the best gifts…and healing aid…that we have been given. Of course, the best gift of all was the gift of our sweet Shane. We will never understand why such a beautiful, bright, energetic, promising young man (who fiercely loved his family) was taken from us, but we will always be thankful for the 22 years we got with our Sunshiney Shane (he was always smiling, so that is my nickname for him).
So when I came upon this story about another family who lost thier precious child and sister, I had to share this to honor our Shane, his organ donations, his memory and to remind everyone that organ donation is the best gift you can leave behind. This story shows the parents actually meeting and hearing the heartbeat of the Arizona mother who received their daughter’s heart. And this family started the Taylor’s Gift Foundation, too. Please watch this beautiful story and spread the word about the power of organ donation. Oh and definitely symbolic, just the other day my Mom was telling me on the phone that the trees that Shane planted for her have bloomed beautifully this Spring.
Brought tears to my eyes. It’s amazing how a situation can bring so much pain yet so much good at the same time. I wonder how common it is for a woman to have heart issues after pregnancies. I had a friend who had to get a pacemaker in her 30s because she developed a heart condition after her second pregnancy.

Of course it's a light spell, what else could it be?
It's interesting to see what individual settings will and will not call magic. The word itself has a very flexible sort of definition, even within one self-contained work. And it gets doubly weird when crossing over works in fan made stories, trying to see what meshes and what doesn't. I personally am not a fan of some tabletop RPG magic systems because, well, they're waaaaay too complex for me. But I can acknowledge their flexibility.
One of my favorite parts of Pathfinder, unlimited 0-level spells. Dancing lights wherever you go! Free +1 bonuses for everything with guidance! Makeshift field refrigeration with ray of frost!
I don’t know if the smell of freezerburn is much better, personally. Better undoubtedly, but MUCH better? I guess depends on how much that boat would have decayed, and just how smelly it was to begin with.
"It's just one light spell."
Isn't it almost required that a statement like that be followed with, "What could possibly go wrong?"

Proposed pathways for movement of magnesium (Mg) across the intestinal epithelium. Two possible routes exist for the absorption of Mg across intestinal epithelial cells: the transcel-lular route and the intercellular pathway. Although a transcellular route has not yet been demonstrated, its existence is inferred from several observations. No large chemical gradient exists for Mg movement across the cell membrane; however, a significant uphill electrical gradient exists for the exit of Mg from cells. This finding suggests the existence and participation of an energy-dependent mechanism for extrusion of Mg from intestinal cells. If such a system exists, it is believed it would consist of two stages. 1) Mg would enter the apical membrane of intestinal cells by way of a passive carrier or facilitated diffusion. 2) An active Mg pump in the basolateral section of the cell would extrude Mg. The intercellular movement of Mg has been demonstrated to occur by both gradient-driven and solvent-drag mechanisms. This intercellular path may be the only means by which Mg moves across the intestinal epithelium. The change in transport rates at low Mg concentrations would reflect changes in the "openness" of this pathway. High concentrations of luminal Mg (eg, after a meal) are capable of altering the morphology of the tight junction complex. High local Mg concentrations near the intercellular junction also can affect the activities of local membrane-associated proteins (eg, sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphate [Na-K ATPase]) near the tight junction and affect its permeability (see Fig. 4-6) [13-15].

In this Sept. 1, 2014 photo released by the U.S. Geological Survey, fluid lava streams from the June 27 lava flow from the Kilauea volcano in Pahoa, Hawaii. The June 27 lava flow is named for the date it began erupting from a new vent. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issued a warning Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 to a rural community in the path of a lava flow on Hawaii's Big Island, as the molten rock moved to within a mile of homes. Observatory scientists said lava from the Kilauea volcano could reach the Kaohe Homesteads in five to seven days if it continues advancing through cracks in the earth.
PAHOA, Hawaii — Lava from one of the world's most active volcanos has been advancing at a slower pace the past few days and is now moving parallel to a sparsely populated subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island.
Lava from Kilauea volcano was still at least a mile from any homes in Kaohe Homesteads, Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said.
Oliveira took a helicopter flight over the area Monday and saw the lava had crept about 150 yards from the previous day. It's moving north for now but could still stop or change directions.
"It's been doing that for the last several days," he said of its northern pull. Prior to Friday, it was going northeast toward the subdivision.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has warned the lava could reach the subdivision in a matter of days.
Oliveira said he didn't anticipate issuing an evacuation order Monday. But residents should be prepared because it's difficult to predict the lava's movement. It was also raining over the flow site, he noted, which meant there wasn't a wildfire threat.
"That's good for today," he said. "But it doesn't get us out of any potential threat down the road. It just means it's going to be a very slow process."
The lava warning has created an "edgy" mood in Puna, the rural region on the southeast side of the Big Island that is at risk from the lava, said Bill Parecki, a real estate agent who has lived in the area for 42 years. The area is still recovering from the damage from a tropical storm about a month ago.
"Everybody's a little concerned," he said. "Everybody's a little worried. We just have to see where the lava goes. There's no control. It's Mother Nature."
A big concern is lava crossing roads and blocking Puna off from the rest of the island, or becoming "lava-locked," he said.
Business has been quiet since Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall over the region last month, said Mary Bicknell, owner of Big Island Book Buyers, a bookstore in downtown Pahoa.
"We're always watching it, but we're not usually threatened by it," she said of the lava.

Sully H.W. Bush, a yellow Labrador service dog who worked with the late former President George H.W. Bush, will be traveling with Bush's casket on his flight to Washington, DC.
Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman, posted an image of Sully next to Bush's casket on Sunday along with the caption, "Mission complete."
A highly trained service dog, Sully will now go back into service to help other veterans and is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, former President George W. Bush wrote.
The dog went to work with Bush this summer after former first lady Barbara Bush passed away earlier this year.
Sully H.W. Bush, a yellow Labrador service dog who worked with the late former President George H.W. Bush, will be traveling with Bush’s casket on his flight to Washington, DC, according to a source familiar with the plans.
A highly trained service dog, Sully will now go back into service to help other veterans and is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, former President George W. Bush wrote in an Instagram post.
“As much as our family is going to miss this dog, we’re comforted to know he’ll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that he brought to 41,” Bush wrote.
Sully can perform a two-page list of commands, including answering the phone and fetching items.
“As one person said, he can do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini,” McGrath said in June.
He was trained by America’s VetDogs and developed his own huge following on Instagram, @sullyhwbush. America’s VetDogs is a charity that provides service dogs to veterans, active-duty service members and first responders with disabilities.

As robots become more autonomous, the notion of computer-controlled machines facing ethical decisions is moving out of the realm of science fiction and into the real world. Society needs to find ways to ensure that they are better equipped to make moral judgments than HAL was.
Military technology, unsurprisingly, is at the forefront of the march towards self-determining machines. Its evolution is producing an extraordinary variety of species. The Sand Flea can leap through a window or onto a roof, filming all the while. It then rolls along on wheels until it needs to jump again. RiSE, a six-legged robo-cockroach, can climb walls. LS3, a dog-like robot, trots behind a human over rough terrain, carrying up to 180kg of supplies. SUGV, a briefcase-sized robot, can identify a man in a crowd and follow him. There is a flying surveillance drone the weight of a wedding ring, and one that carries 2.7 tonnes of bombs.
As that happens, they will be presented with ethical dilemmas. Should a drone fire on a house where a target is known to be hiding, which may also be sheltering civilians? Should a driverless car swerve to avoid pedestrians if that means hitting other vehicles or endangering its occupants? Should a robot involved in disaster recovery tell people the truth about what is happening if that risks causing a panic? Such questions have led to the emergence of the field of “machine ethics”, which aims to give machines the ability to make such choices appropriately—in other words, to tell right from wrong.
Instead, society needs to develop ways of dealing with the ethics of robotics—and get going fast. In America states have been scrambling to pass laws covering driverless cars, which have been operating in a legal grey area as the technology runs ahead of legislation. It is clear that rules of the road are required in this difficult area, and not just for robots with wheels.
First, laws are needed to determine whether the designer, the programmer, the manufacturer or the operator is at fault if an autonomous drone strike goes wrong or a driverless car has an accident. In order to allocate responsibility, autonomous systems must keep detailed logs so that they can explain the reasoning behind their decisions when necessary. This has implications for system design: it may, for instance, rule out the use of artificial neural networks, decision-making systems that learn from example rather than obeying predefined rules.
Second, where ethical systems are embedded into robots, the judgments they make need to be ones that seem right to most people. The techniques of experimental philosophy, which studies how people respond to ethical dilemmas, should be able to help. Last, and most important, more collaboration is required between engineers, ethicists, lawyers and policymakers, all of whom would draw up very different types of rules if they were left to their own devices. Both ethicists and engineers stand to benefit from working together: ethicists may gain a greater understanding of their field by trying to teach ethics to machines, and engineers need to reassure society that they are not taking any ethical short-cuts.
Technology has driven mankind’s progress, but each new advance has posed troubling new questions. Autonomous machines are no different. The sooner the questions of moral agency they raise are answered, the easier it will be for mankind to enjoy the benefits that they will undoubtedly bring.

Bards Tale on the Spectrum was my first taste of RPG gaming. When I heard that this hallowed Rpg was now on iPad I could hardly contain my excitement. With the original Spectrum role player I must admit that it didn't live up to my expectations, being slow and stilted, the technology just wasn't there to make a proper Fantasy world come alive. Even when the Bard's Tale made its way to the Xbox some decades later I was again slightly put out as it didn't live up to the heroic ideals and grandiose dreams that I had of what a true Fighting Fantasy type game should be.
Well now the technology is definitely here to make all our other realm dreams come true (especially proven with my addiction to Skyrim!) but how does this type of grand and epic fantasy translate to the touch screened iPad?
Well it must firstly be said that it is a port of the 2004 Xbox RPG and not the original and much loved (if only for nostalgia's sake) Spectrum game (was the Bard's Tale on other consoles or PC? I'm only speaking from personal gaming experience here) . What makes this touchscreen fantasy immediately standout is the quirky humour that the series is known for. A satirical British flavour delivered by a States based game developer is definitely a unique and much loved feature of this game!
The eponymous Bard is a likeable and mischievous rogue , who is all up for quaffing a good ale, leering at buxom wenches and going on the odd adventure. The game has a fantastic storyline brought to life by a quintessentially English narrator. It is as much a story of high adventure as a coming of age and transformation of the Bard from a likeable rogue into a powerful warrior.
The journey along the way is truly epic and brought to life by some very slick iPad game controls. The game takes place in an isometric viewpoint with a left movement pad controlling your character and icons for blocking and attacking. The in-game fighting mechanics are brilliant as timing is key to parry your enemies strikes, mistimed parries result in damage to you. But get your iPad swordplay right and your enemy will soon be staggering back ready for you to lunge in with more powerful attacks.
This is probably one of the biggest and most epic games we've seen on iOS. There's unlockable quests to win, mysterious powers to master and an hilarious and deep RPG storyline to revel in. A must have RPG game for the iPad.

Two recently published reports shed damning light on the high cost of low wages in the fast food industry – an industry dominated by the restaurant giant McDonald’s, which raked-in over $5.4 billion in profits last year.
The reports – Super Sizing Public Costs: How Low Wages at Top Fast-Food Chains Leave Taxpayers Footing the Bill and Fast Food, Poverty Wages: The Public Cost of Low-Wage Jobs in the Fast-Food Industry – argue that low-wages in the fast-food industry cost taxpayers nearly $7 billion annually.
Medicaid and CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program) account for more than half of the $7 billion, at an average of $3.9 billion annually. Additionally, due to low earnings, fast food workers’ families also receive an annual average of $1.04 billion in food stamp benefits and $1.91 billion in Earned Income Tax Credit payments.
The ten largest fast-food companies alone made more than $7.4 billion in profits in 2012 and paid their top executives more than $53 million in compensation.
Low-wage fast-food jobs cost tax-payers the most in California ($717 million), New York ($708 million), Texas ($556 million), Illinois ($368 million), and Florida ($348 million).
According to Super Sizing Public Costs, “McDonald’s represents the most costly fast-food company for tax-payers.” Low wages and lack of benefits at McDonald’s cost tax-payers “$1.2 billion every year in public assistance programs,” according to the report.
YUM! Brands (Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC), Subway, Burger King and Wendy’s round-out the top five fast-food companies with workers who rely on public assistance.
The median average wage for fast-food workers is $8.69; an estimated 87 percent of fast-food workers do not receive health benefits. Furthermore, 67 percent of front-line fast-food workers are adults 20 and older; 68 percent are the main earners in their families and more than one-quarter are raising children.
“This business model puts tax-payers on the hook, while rewarding corporate CEO’s,” Jack Temple, a policy analyst for the National Employment Law Project and co-author of Super Sizing Public Costs, said during a conference call with the press on October 15.
The reports come on the heels of a nation-wide wave of fast-food worker strikes; most recently strikes took place in over 60 cities across the nation with thousands of fast-food workers walking off their jobs.
“The CEO of McDonald’s makes more in a day than I make in a year,” Yates added.
Fast-food workers nationally are calling for $15 an-hour in pay and the right to form or join a union without retaliation.
Jacobs also addressed the wave of non-traditional worker organizing taking place in fast-food, retail and other low-wage service sector jobs.
Super Sizing Public Costs: How Low Wages at Top Fast-Food Chains Leave Taxpayers Footing the Bill was published by the National Employment Law Project and Fast Food, Poverty Wages: The Public Cost of Low-Wage Jobs in the Fast-Food Industry was published by the University of California Labor Center.

Over my holiday I had the extreme luxury of reading some of the stoic literature I had. Particularly the lecture series of Gaius Musonius Rufus one of the Roman stoics. From his 21 discourses, discourse 18 labelled “On Food” is what caught my attention. Now I don’t agree with many of Musonius practical stoic ideas, such as not eating meat, but there is one piece of advice he gives, that has stuck with me.
In Discourse 18, Musonius advises that we listen to Socrates and not live to eat, but rather eat to live. What he means here, is that food is just that, it’s food. That is, rather than constantly be thinking about what you are eating, we should treat eating as what it is, something we must do to survive.
I am sure most of us, if not all, have come across the judgemental individuals who will pipe up with something along the lines of “why deprive yourself of food” or “you only live once” or whatever other justification they use every time we politely refuse a piece of cake or a bowl of spaghetti. To these people I often echo Musonius, and mention that not eating a caramel slice is not deprivation to me. I eat so I can enjoy life, I don’t enjoy life by eating.
A lot of us paleo dieters fall into an orthorexic lifestyle. We obsess about our food. This is not a healthy mindset by any means, and is just as bad as eating what we consider to be unhealthy.
A lot of us will do well taking this stoic advice and just eating what we know is healthy, in amounts that allow us to live better. No more and no less.
Yep, that was me in 2010 🙂 Amazing what a little weight gain will do to your mindset. But I don’t think anyone can understand any eating disorder until they experience it, so it’s all too easy to brush off the appearance of obsession as self indulgence rather than understanding why people end up there.

<s>[INST]<<SYS>> Justice requires giving people what they are due (Justinian I, 533). We consider two components of justice.

Apple’s acquisition was a big news for the music industry. This multi-billion dollar deal gave Hip-Hop its first billionaire in Dr. Dre. There were no clear directions though as to what the company was planning to do with the popular audio equipment brand. Looks like the first step in the Apple-Beats saga is about to unveil itself. Financial Times reports that the Cupertino-based tech giant will be integrating Beats Music app on all the iPhone and iPads.
Beats Music is a subscription-based music service that uses algorithms to curate music according to your interests. Beats also has tie-ups with some of the major labels in the music industry and thus, has a huge library of songs that you can listen. The songs are downloadable, so you can listen to the tunes when you are not online. The service will be a part of the default offerings of Apple such as iMovie, Garageband amongst others.
By forcing the Beats Music on its customers, Apple will be benefitting a lot. The company already has iTunes that let you buy music, but with this music streaming service, the company can take on market leaders like Spotify. Be ready for some Apple power, dear music industry.

In November 2014 I began a two month residency in northern Iceland where I became interested in the countries unique topographic features. Its low mountains and fascinating geological specimens inspired this sci-fi photo book that is meant to playfully illustrate a fictional story about a lunar phenomenon taking place in a sleepy little town. As a medium that boasts power and authority, photography remains a complex tool that inherently elicits the truth while simultaneously hinting at the possibility of fiction. These images, constructed using rocks found from the surrounding landscape, are playfully rearranged and photographed within the context of a scientifically ambiguous narrative.
Like images mined from forgotten archives, the photographs borrow reoccurring elements from space and forensic photography. Collectively, the work creates a mosaic that re-presents situations from a research project performed in a remote town. Weaving together photographs of possible lunar samples, scientific machinery and cosmic landscapes, the book forms an eclectic visual journal of a man and his relationship with the cosmos.
Containing 70 unique images across 99 pages, it also includes a fictional short story written specifically in dialogue with the images by Australian playwright Emma Gibson .

I’m making a mobile game, any support would be coolio.
Did ElementGames create this trailer?
Who’s ready for WWE 2k19?
2k should focus on universal mode….
the detail in the chair and building looks low. It looks so PS2 like.
Where Logan Paul in this game???
Normal People: New Year, New Me!
WWE 2k: New Year, Same Game!
you can even give us back cm punk or add Hulk Hogan, but i’m not gonna buying this until confirm ciampa in the game.
I still can’t find the right time to buy the game if you guys keep releasing them every year. I was thinking about getting 2k18 on discount, but game is already……..OBSOLETE!!!!
Graphics really haven’t come very far since the PS3 with the WWE games.
I will have to see if the bringing in all the wrestler from previous games or not. I stop playing about 10yrs now because they are so wack. Here is hoping the glory of wrestling is returned. They can make a story mode with all wrestlers and it does not need to flow the current story on the TV or be similar just include everyone and every match type possible.
Who all ready for this game comes out.
The graphics are like the 2k17, shame.
Nice when is this coming out on PLAYSTATION ONE?
Ok so what’s new ?
how many micro transaction dollars per wrestler?
I didn’t see Nikki and brie Bella, will they be in the game?
Poor graphics. Doesn’t look like a ps4 title.
Is wresting still a thing?
Wow I’m impressed on the graphics of wrestlers now in this game. 2k18 looked so much like claymation.
Very cool,i want cash my money yo buy it!!!
Will i be able to head kick ronda rousey?
Why this game looks like the worst game of WWE 2K series?

It’s always such a nice getaway – not only do I enjoy her company and spending time with family, but there’s the accompanying “perk” that I’m not at home, facing a weekend “Gotta Get this Crap Done” list of house/car/clothing cleaning, repairs, bills, budgeting and other nasty-but-necessary aspects of growed-up life.
Being here, far from the visual reminders of domestic responsibility, means that I can read, blog, read other blogs, work on my website, take on-line classes, create a photo book for our recent Burns Supper celebration and otherwise indulge myself in the “me” time I can rarely schedule when I’m at home.
If we were having coffee, I’d ask what you’ve been watching on TV (should you watch TV) because I’ve been recently obsessed with Broadchurch.
I’m a huge Dr. Who Fan and love David Tennant’s Doctor, but this Tennant is a dark and flawed character, driven by pain and failure – very different from his charming and powerful Time Lord. A mesmerizing plot and really detailed and wonderful character development, added to the gorgeous scenery of coastal Dorset, kept me riveted through Seasons 1 and 2.
So far, they’ve succeeded with The Bletchley Circle, which I got half-way through last night. However, this time, I swear I’m going to ration myself and not serial watch it all this weekend. Does that happen to you?
If we were having coffee, I’d ask you to grab your cup and come to the kitchen. Linda just made pancakes! Would you like some with blueberries or without? There’s butter and maple syrup – help yourself.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that we had an amazing time at our Burns Supper celebration last week and I’m looking forward both to blogging about it and to making another photo book for all the guests, like I did a few years ago. We’ve got so many awesome pictures and happy memories, it’s nice to gather them all in one place.
Which reminds me, while I’m not on an agenda, I guess I kinda am! I need to get working on my book, and I’m feeling fairly inspired, so I’ll thank you for stopping by, remind you to schedule us again for next week and wish you a wonderful weekend full of all the things that make you happy!
I’d also like to thank Nerd in the Brain – I’ve enjoyed her “If We Were Having Coffee” posts so much, it inspired me to brew up a pot and join you all here at #WeekendCoffeeShare.
This entry was posted in Blogging challenge and tagged #weekendcoffeeshare. Bookmark the permalink.
Jessica Jones was awwwesome. And Tennant was wildly creepy in that one. Have you watched Daredevil? I liked that one a lot as well, even though the constant physical battery made me a little uncomfortable. Way too realistic.
Welcome and thanks so much for the coffee and pancakes (please tell Linda, thanks too)! A co-worker of mine loves Broadchurch. She has loaned me a DVD but I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. Sounds like I need to find time! Enjoy your weekend.
It is great to meet you and your MIL. I don’t watch TV so I can’t comment on your shows. I was not addict to it as a child. It was available.
I grew up without TV, I was in college when it started. As your livehood depends on it. I can understand watching it.
I’d still probably prefer a good book!
Welcome! Lovely to meet you – I love that photo of you with the huge smile.
That’s my Mother-in-Law, Linda. She does have a lovely smile – thank you!
My husband and I feel so lucky that our families get along so well – we’ve actually all gotten to be friends (ack – getting older must do that!) and we have such a great time vacationing and spending holidays together! It is a really wonderful thing and I’ve grown to be very grateful for it.
I found myself surprisingly mesmerized by Broadchurch – it really is a very different David Tennant – but it’s such a fascinating psychological thriller and they take the time to develop the characters – it’s much more like a visual novel (if that makes sense) verses somewhat typical police dramas that count on sensationalism and violence to build an audience.
It does move a little slowly, but it didn’t bother me. You should check out Bletchley Circle as well – I thought it such an original premise and so far, very enjoyable.
I’ll definitely have to give both of those a try! I’m at home a lot in the daytime, and I like to have the TV on while I’m working just to keep me company.
I saw Broadchurch too. Was good. Just as Bletchley Circle. I saw it twice as a matter of fact, once by myself and once with Kim. I have to tell you, it was better with Kim. Everything is better with someone.
I’m only getting to these right now, nearly a week late. I spent a good chunk of last Sunday watching documentaries on PBS. Most of the time, it’s Star Trek: Enterprise for me, because Trip and T’Pol (I don’t really need any other reason, really, but #itswritingresearch, too!).
Today is all about Welcome to Night Vale podcasts, because I promised my 11 year old I’d be ready to listen to the next one with her on Monday, but I was over 20 episodes behind, since I was a later adopter than she was. I’m closing that gap, though!
I hope your visit and break from ‘growed-up’ things – and that the book creation was lovely. I enjoyed the coffee but skipped the pancakes, as I’m not a fan.

Introducing the Multi-Language feature of the new iScripts eSwap barter network software and iScripts SupportDesk help desk platform! Included in the software are English, French, Spanish, and German as well as the open capability for any other language of your choosing.
What are the benefits of your site?
BRANDING. Your message is important. Create it once and keep it consistent. Branding, marketing and content can be the same quality for your total reach without compromising time or quality. Your website will appear in different search engines, to a different audience who will be typing in different search terms to find products and services that you offer.
SALES. As internet globalization continues to flourish, the importance of a message and product communicated in various languages to a greater buying audience directly impacts sales. There are plenty of ways to receive online payments to US bank accounts from foreign countries, and, therefore, merchants’ opportunities for sales are big.
TRAFFIC. If your website is translated into many languages, it will have an increased flow of traffic. If you know how to put this traffic to work, then you will probably use ads more efficiently and will receive more CTR from search engines and will increase the overall dollar amount per day. More traffic means more clicks. Similarly, more clicks mean more revenue.
COMPETITION. Are your competitors taking advantage of a multi-lingual site? If they are, they may be eating your lunch and capturing customers that you are not reaching. If they are not, you have the unique opportunity of offering your products and services to an entirely untouched market.
CREDIBILITY. Bring credibility to your site. Since professional language services are not cheap, having a website professionally translated to many languages brings credibility and respect to its owners.
It would be very nice to have a good translator on the sit. Unfortunarely, when I used these translators into Russian *my native language), the results were laughable. It was a source of a really good time for me and my wife. I don’t know about other languages, but Russian was pathetic.

Google-owned Waymo has operated its public pilot in Phoenix, Arizona, dubbed the Early Rider Program, for just over a year. In that time, the service has picked up about 400 regular riders in the area, and it's brought the total real-world miles driven by Waymo's entire fleet to about 24,000 per day. Most of these riders are very young, very elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to drive on their own. In order to get a better understanding of what people think of self-driving cars and how the technology could fit into everyday life once it goes mainstream, Waymo gathered data from its Early Rider Program participants and put out the graph seen below and an accompanying report that breaks down the data.
According to Waymo's data, there have been over 20,000 applicants for a ride in the program in total, up from about 6,000 on the first day. Most of the Early Rider Program's accepted riders used the service as transportation to work. Restaurants were the next most popular destination, followed by schools. Bars and spas were also common, and many used the service to get to the shop where their disabled car was waiting for them, which often meant exiting the program after the car was fixed up. Using the service to get to the supermarket and do your shopping was surprisingly low on the list of most popular destinations, with only electronics stores and gyms falling behind it within the confines of the top ten destinations. Waymo's data indicates that applicants cited two main reasons, on the whole, for applying; they wanted to see the new technology firsthand, and they wanted to help foster a safer future on the roads.
The Early Rider Program has made it quite clear that people have a diverse range of reasons for trusting and desiring the advancement of self-driving car technology. One rider witnessed a fatal car accident and didn't want to drive anymore, while another rider wants to take in her local neighborhood without focusing on driving, to name just a couple of cases that Waymo outed. Thanks to the data found in the program thus far, Waymo is working on a few key goals to make the service easier to use, including making it easier for riders to contact Waymo, and getting cars as close as possible to the places where riders want to be picked up, helping them avoid a long walk to a pickup spot.

AMC Networks Earnings Beat Estimates, CEO Says 'Walking Dead' Franchise "Will Have a Long Life"
AMC Networks on Thursday reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings amid higher distribution and advertising revenue as management touted the outlook for hit show The Walking Dead, which is currently in its seventh season and which has been a big topic of debate among Wall Street analysts.
AMC Networks shares were up 13.6 percent in early Thursday trading at $65.30 as investors cheered the upside earnings surprise.
In the company's earnings report, he had similarly said: "The Walking Dead remains the No. 1 show on television by a wide margin and is a powerful example of programming that we own and distribute that commands a loyal audience, attracts advertising revenue, and has significant ancillary revenues that will benefit our business for years to come. With a rapidly expanding studio business, we now have a growing portfolio of shows that we own that provide this kind of opportunity for our business."
Asked about the studio business on the call, Sapan said: "The company is becoming and has become more of a studio,” rather than “only a channel operator.” He said that has allowed its shows to play on its own channels in the U.S. and internationally, then go to Hulu or Netflix in a later window in the U.S. and be sold to other distributors in foreign markets where the company has no channels.
AMC Networks so far has not produced shows only for other companies and has no plans to do so, but could consider such a production approach longer-term if the financial returns and strategic benefits make sense, said Sapan.
Asked about the company's channel portfolio, Sapan said its quality and pricing counts more than the number of channels at a time when some peers may have to close down weaker channels, according to analysts. "We have been of the mind for some time that quality matters, brands matter, content matters, engagement matters," said Sapan. "And you don’t get a free lunch for showing up with 22 channels." He added that his team felt that "a day of reckoning would come” for some peers.
While the company felt SundanceTV and BBC America, in which it bought a stake, are well-defined channels, overall, he said, "we have already skinnied our offering down.” And AMC Networks channels should still get higher carriage fees, he reiterated. “Collectively, they are underpriced," said Sapan.
The cable networks company on Thursday posted a profit of $14 million for the latest quarter, or earnings per share of 20 cents, compared with $90 million in the year-ago period, or $1.23. The company in the latest quarter took non-cash impairment charges of $68 million related to AMC Networks International-DMC, its Amsterdam-based media logistics facility.
Adjusted for charges, earnings reached $92 million, or $1.30 per share, compared with $102 million, or $1.39 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in adjusted earnings per share was "primarily related to the increase in adjusted operating income more than offset by an increase in miscellaneous expense." Wall Street analysts had on average expected earnings of $1.27 per share. Estimates had come down a bit after Sapan in December said that advertising was looking softer than anticipated.
A 9.2 percent increase in quarterly operating income and 9.2 percent adjusted operating income at the company's U.S. networks, which include AMC, IFC and SundanceTV, reflected higher revenue, offset by an increase in operating expenses. "The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher programming expenses, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses," the company said. "Programming expenses included charges of $5 million in the current-year period related to the write-off of programming assets, as compared to charges of $16 million in the prior year period." The company didn't immediately say which show or shows the write-off was for.
U.S. advertising revenue rose 3.1 percent despite lower ratings in the quarter for the first half of season seven of The Walking Dead. U.S. distribution revenue jumped 15.6 percent.
"2016 was a successful year for our company both financially and operationally, driven by our disciplined and focused strategy of investing in high-quality content and creating brands that have strong, growing, passionate and engaged audiences," said Sapan.
He continued: "We are embracing changing viewing habits by making strategic investments in streaming services that fit well with our programming and the audiences at our network brands. As we look ahead in 2017, we see a number of attractive growth opportunities for our businesses and remain committed to delivering meaningful value to our shareholders.
Michael Morris, an analyst with Guggenheim Partners, said in a note previewing the results: "Season 7 of The Walking Dead premiered in late October, and though the show started strong, by the mid-season finale ratings were declining in excess of 20 percent on a year-over-year basis, worse than the 15 percent decline built into our estimates."
He lowered his fourth-quarter U.S. networks advertising growth estimate for the fourth quarter to 0.5 percent from 6.0 percent "given The Walking Dead's recent ratings trends." Said Morris: "This is consistent with management commentary provided in December. We expect the show to remain in production — and popular with consumers — for the next several years, and as such we anticipate related ancillary revenue (from digital and international partners) to remain intact."
But, he warned, "Investor concern around the company's key Walking Dead franchise continues to weigh on shares. We continue to believe that market value under-appreciates the company’s ability to develop and monetize compelling programming. However, we do not see a clear path to investor realization and thus remain cautious in our target valuation multiple."
Sapan on Thursday also touted the ratings performance of the company's networks. And he said that AMC will this year air such returning series as Humans, Better Call Saul and Preacher, plus new shows like The Terror and The Son.

When mechanical equipment is fixed rigidly to a building floor slab or ceiling, the vibrations formed by the mechanical equipment are transmitted into the structure. These vibrations can travel in solid building elements such as structural columns, beams, and floor slabs which is described as structure-borne noise.
To help eradicate these problems, resilient mounts should be implemented to isolate the vibrating equipment (and anything rigidly connected to it) from the surrounding structure.
Vibration isolation involves installing vibrating equipment such as on resilient materials such as isolation pads or steel springs.
The target is to select an appropriate resilient material that, when loaded, will provide a system natural frequency, or resonant frequency, at least one-third of the lowest driving frequency of the equipment.
Acoustic separation is designed to reduce unwanted noise penetrating through walls from one room to another, in particular airborne noises such as conversations, television and music.
At Inspired Noise UK we can provide soundproofing wall systems that have been designed to offer the highest level of noise reduction coupled with ease of installation.
Sound insulated ceilings are used to improve the sound transmission Loss of the floor/ceiling system for airborne or floor impact-generated noise. An isolation clip or hanger can be used to support the steel grid and plasterboard ceiling. Isolation elements are typically fibreglass pads, rubber pads or, for lower frequency sound isolation, coiled springs. Like all isolated sound control assemblies, the mass of the system, the air space and insulation between layers, and the natural frequency of the isolator will determine the noise reduction. Ceiling isolation systems are often used in conjunction with floor isolation and sound-rated walls to achieve complete acoustical privacy.
Most of the above acoustic floor systems would also contribute to the improvement of airborne sound insulation. When installing a resilient floor treatment care should be taken not to bridge the layer by mechanically fixing (nails, screws) to the subfloor.

“I am very happy with the church; the church helps us. The government cannot do without the church." — Pascal Mombi Opana, vice governor in Orientale Province.
KISANGANI, Democratic Republic of Congo (UMNS) — United Methodist churches are growing and schools are overflowing in this large district. The churches face many challenges, but evangelism is not one, said the Rev. Litalema Bogega, superintendent of Kisangani 1. Kathy Gilbert and Mike DuBose report.
KISANGANI, Democratic Republic of Congo (UMNS) — The Wagenia village is part of the Kisangani district. For more than 200 years, fishermen have fished in the rapids at Stanley Falls in the Congo River. United Methodist pastors make a pastoral call on the small village. Mike DuBose has the story in pictures.
PORTLAND, Ore. (UMNS) — The sponsorship department of the General Council on Finance and Administration has exceeded its goal of raising $600,000 through the General Conference sponsorship and exhibitors program. As of this month, the program has raised $637,600 to help defray the costs of the denomination’s top legislative assembly, which will be May 10-20 in Portland, Oregon. Altogether, the 2016 General Conference will have 130 exhibit booths.
NEW YORK (UMNS) — At any given moment across the world, more than 663 million people are drinking water that could be contaminated because they lack any other real option. That is why WASH — the water, sanitation and hygiene work of the United Methodist Committee on Relief — is helping more communities than ever before gain access to clean water. Susan Kim reports for UMCOR.
CHICAGO (UMNS) — What do five pastors in five different conferences and four different jurisdictions have in common? Besides the fact that they are all United Methodist elders and graduates of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, they have shared a unique bond for more than 10 years as part of a covenant group. Anne Marie Gerhardt reports for the Northern Illinois Conference.
ATLANTA (UMNS) — Candler School of Theology’s Luke Timothy Johnson was in the right place at the right time in 1996. His book, "The Real Jesus," became a blockbuster of the Lenten season. Johnson, the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Emory's Candler School of Theology, recently talked about the book that made him a leading figure opposing the research and scholarship of the widely publicized Jesus Seminar. The seminar was a group of some 200 biblical scholars who sought to verify or disprove sayings and actions attributed to Jesus through historical review and analysis.

In addition to Saturday, Feb. 27, the stations will be held March 12, April 9 and April 23 from 10 a.m. to noon. Those requesting prayer may drive through and stay in their cars as others minister to them. Contact: 843-558-3835 or tenhutrup@gmail.com.

New England is a geographical region which comprises six states of the northeastern United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and the south, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north, respectively. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south.
The puritan pilgrims from England first settled in the region in 1620, forming the Plymouth Colony, the first successful English settlement in the Americas. Ten years later, more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in the greater Boston area, thus forming the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
You can take a virtual tour of the Mayflower ship, the first ship of the pilgrim in the video below. We take you inside the ship to show you how the early English immigrants lived, worked, slept, cooked and ate for months on a torturous and oftentimes dangerous ship journey.
Over the next 126 years, people in the region fought in four French and Indian Wars, until the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America.
In 1692, the town of Salem, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemisphere, the Salem witch trials.
In the late 18th century, political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated the resistance to Britain’s efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government. These were termed the “Intolerable Acts” by the colonists.
The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in the spring of 1776.
The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution, centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys.
The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area. Southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain, while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains.
With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast, numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers, such as the Connecticut River, which bisects the region from north to south.
The region is particularly known for its beautiful fall foliage. Take a look at the beautiful New England scenery in the video below.
Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities, which are known as towns. These are often governed by town meetings. The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity, although the terms of this identity are often contrasted, combining Puritanism with liberalism, agrarian life with industry, and isolation with immigration.

Last week I wrote about the construction, and the challenges, of the creation of a guest virtual machine -based snapshot management solution (or “tool”) for Hyper-V environments. As promised, it’s now available for downloading.
As with our other free tools, the download(s) for HyperSnapshot can be found from here, our community tools page. While both the host -based and guest -based components are really small in size, we decided to have a separate ZIP file for each.
For the Hyper-V host machine(s) you will need to have HyperSnapshot’s host -package, which has one [service] executable (HyperSnapshotService.exe) and installation + removal scripts. Once installed, the service will run in the background responding automatically to the requests made from the virtual machine (guest systems), with zero configuration necessary. The service is engineered so that it try and use as little of resources possible on the host system, which in effect means no continuous polling of VMs but rather responding to changes as indicated by WMI eventing system.
For all the virtual machines you wish to have guest-based snapshot functionality enabled, guest -package needs to be downloaded and extracted to. Since we do not have an installer – at least at this point in time – the client executable (HyperSnapshotGui.exe) has to be started manually by the user or shortcut created for it. Please note that like written in the previous article, the client executable needs elevation in order to function properly. As with the host-side component running on the Hyper-V host machine, the client component does not need any explicit configuration.
Data Exchange service is enabled for the VM (it is by default).
I hope that you find the tool useful, especially in context of App-V packaging!
