E-Learning Mobile Software for Arduino & Its Application (ELA) Keywords:E-Learning, Mobile Application, Arduino, Android Studio, Java, XML, Firestore, Google Play Store, Google form In this era of globalization, telecommunications systems that leading towards to the 5G generation have led to E-learning or Electronic-learning that enables students to gain their knowledge through the utilization of electronic equipment or electronic medium. With the utilization of e-learning mobile applications, students can learn and gain knowledge regardless of time and place. However, Arduino users have difficulty finding knowledge about it. They faced problems in the learning process that they do not know what they need to learn about Arduino. Therefore, the project is aimed to develop a mobile application of “ELA” or “E-Learning Arduino & Its Application” that enables and facilitates students in the learning process and enhances knowledge related to Arduino. Android Studio is used in this project to develop “ELA” mobile applications in the form of APK (Android Application Package) or AAB (Android Application Bundle) that are accessible by smartphone and be able to publish to Google Play Store with the utilization of Android app. This app is easy-to-use, and it is completed with information such as the history of Arduino, identification of different Arduino boards & Arduino IDE, and a few examples of electronic projects implemented with Arduino. As a result, ELA was successfully published to the Google Play Store and received 80 ratings with an average rating of 4.875 and 60 reviews from users. “Google forms” had also been used to collect and analyse users’ information, users’ experience with educational mobile applications, and user opinions on ELAs in application evaluation criteria. ELA had successfully solved ELA user problems in Arduino learning. With the usage of Google Form as a user satisfaction questionnaire platform, all information related to the performance of this application is stored and analysed for the purpose of improvement. From the user feedback, it shows that the level of user satisfaction is good and very helpful to those who are new in learning knowledge related to Arduino.

‘Tree Topping’ can now, officially, be added to the list of stuff-we-ignore-until-we-are-done-for. You’d think, after more than 25 years of literature & seminars extolling the harmful effects of tree topping, it would be abolished already. But, we’re the same civilization that used to think lead was ok, as well as, asbestos, and even more recently, climate change. Come on, we’re kidding ourselves if we think removing 50%-100% of the leaf-bearing crown is not going to stress our trees out as frak! Yeah, indiscriminately lopping off the heads of trees might briefly get your view back, but it will not reduce any hazards; it actually creates lots more of them! Removing leaves, the food factories of a tree, will result in the tree starving, which is messed up. The severity of a topping and resulting nutrient deprivation, trigger a survival mechanism. Because the tree will need to put out a new crop of leaves as soon as possible, it activates latent buds, forcing a rapid growth of multiple shoots below each cut. If a tree does not have the stored energy reserves to do this, it will be seriously weakened or die. And don’t forget a stressed tree is more vulnerable to insect and disease infestations. Large, open topping wounds expose sapwood and heartwood to attacks. And, a topped tree may lack sufficient energy to chemically defend its wounds against invasion; some insects are actually attracted to the chemical signals trees release. Besides making trees susceptible to decay, sunburn, & nasty ugliness, tree topping creates hazards. The new, rapidly-growing shoots developing from buds near the surface of the topped branches, unlike normal branches that develop in a socket of overlapping wood tissues, are anchored only in the outermost layers of the parent branches. The new shoots grow quickly, as much as 20 feet in one year, in some species. Unfortunately, the shoots are prone to breaking, especially during windy conditions. The irony is that while the goal may have been to reduce the tree’s height to make it safer, it has been made more hazardous than before. And then there are the financial costs. The price of topping a tree is not limited to what you initially pay a tree service. If the tree survives, it will require pruning again, only within a few years. It will either need to be reduced once again or storm damage will have to be cleaned up. And if the tree dies, it will have to be removed. Another hidden cost is a reduction in property value. Healthy, well-maintained trees can add 10 to 20 percent to the value of a property. Disfigured, topped trees are eye-sores and considered an impending expense. And then there is all the potential liability. Topped trees are prone to breaking and can be hazardous. Because topping is considered an unacceptable pruning practice, any damage caused by branch failure of a topped tree may lead to a finding of negligence in a court of law. So watch your arse! For the do-it-yourself-generation, pruning large trees can be dangerous. If pruning involves working above the ground or using power equipment, it is best to hire a professional arborist. Don’t be a yahoo with a chainsaw! Sonoma-Marin Arborists Inc can determine the type of pruning that is necessary to improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees. We can provide the services of a trained crew, with all of the required safety equipment and liability insurance. Stop watching how-to-top-your-own-tree videos on You Tube and stay out of court and/or the power lines! Call us now!

Application of Layered Strain Technique in NSTE-ACS Background. To explore the application value of layered strain technique in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods. 120 patients with suspected NSTE-ACS undergoing coronary angiography in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2019 were prospectively selected. According to the results of coronary angiography, the patients were divided into the significant CAD group and the nonsignificant CAD group. Echocardiography was performed 1-2 hours before invasive coronary angiography. The long axis and circumferential strain of the endocardium, myocardial layer, and epicardium were evaluated by the layered strain technique. The territorial longitudinal strain (TLS), the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the three myocardial layers, and the global circumferential strain (GCS) were calculated based on the perfusion region of the three coronary arteries and the 17-segment model of the left ventricle. The primary endopoints were TLS and GCS of the three-layer myocardium. Results. Compared with the nonsignificant CAD patients, the TLS and GCS of three-layer myocardium in significant CAD patients were decreased, especially in the endocardium. The absolute values of TLS and GCS of the endocardium and epicardium in significant CAD patients were lower than those in nonsignificant CAD patients. This indicates a significant decrease in endocardial function. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that endocardial TLS was superior to LVEF, Troponin I (TnI), and other strain parameters in evaluating the extent of coronary lesions. Conclusions. The layered strain technique of 2D-STE can evaluate the severity of coronary lesions in patients with NSTE-ACS, and for significant CAD patients, endocardial function is significantly more impaired than epicardial function. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) include non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary artery obstruction in STEMI requires urgent revascularization, but the clinical presentation of patients with NSTE-ACS is much more variable, and about one-third of patients with NSTE-ACS do not necessarily have coronary artery obstruction or severe coronary lesions, and these patients do not require revascularization. Therefore, it is more important for clinicians to accurately select patients who really need coronary angiography for revascularization to reduce the complications related with the operation and also reduce the medical costs during the treatment process . Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) allows quantitative evaluation of the myocardial strain to assess cardiac function and has been considered an accurate indicator of overall and local cardiac function . Compared with conventional echocardiography, strain ultrasound can be more sensitive and accurate in identifying the degree of coronary lesions in patients with NSTE-ACS . The latest layered strain analysis software can evaluate the myocardial morphology of the endocardium, myocardial layer, and epicardium separately, among which the endocardium is the most sensitive to myocardial ischemia, and careful evaluation of the endocardial myocardium can improve the diagnostic accuracy of CAD . In this study, we applied the layered strain technique to evaluate the myocardial morphology of three layers in patients with suspected NSTE-ACS. 2.1. Study Objects 120 patients with suspected NSTE-ACS admitted to our hospital from December 2018 to December 2019 were prospectively collected. Suspected NSTE-ACS was diagnosed by chest pain, ECG changes, troponin values etc. Electrocardiography was completed on admission, and electrocardiographic ST depression and T-wave changes suggested myocardial ischemia. Echocardiography was completed within 1-2 hours before coronary angiography or within 48 hours of the onset of chest pain, and the echocardiographic data and clinical data were done double-blind. Exclusion criteria were as follows: severe arrhythmias, severe valvular lesions, history of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, myocarditis (diagnosed by clinical symptom, myocardial enzyme, etc.), left bundle branch block, and poor image quality. The primary endopoints were TLS and GCS of the three-layer myocardium; this is the difference between endocardial and epicardial strains measured with the echocardiographic technique. All patients signed an informed consent form and received medication according to the latest guidelines, and this study was approved by our medical and health research ethics committee. 2.2. Instruments and Methods A GE vivid E9 echocardiograph with an M5S probe and the beats/min was used. The left ventricular end-diastolic volume and LVEF were evaluated by the biplane Simpson method. 2-dimensional gray-scale images of three consecutive cardiac cycles were acquired at end expiration, including apical 4-chamber, 2-chamber, and 3-chamber views and standard short-axis views at the level of the parasternal papillary muscle. The long-axis strains of the endocardium, myocardial layer, and epicardium were recorded in the apical views, and the circumferential strains were recorded in the parasternal short-axis views. The longitudinal and circumferential strains of 16 longitudinal segments and 6 circumferential segments were analyzed, and the global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) were obtained by averaging all segments of each myocardial layer. Investigators with poor segmental tracking could manually adjust, and if tracking was consistently poor, the segment was excluded from the study. Territorial longitudinal strain (TLS) was calculated by averaging the perfusion areas of each of the 3 major coronary arteries in the 16-segment model of the left ventricle. 2.2.2. Coronary Angiography Coronary angiography was performed in all patients, and each coronary stenosis was visualized by multisection projection to avoid side branch overlap and shortening of the associated coronary stenosis. Patients were divided into the significant CAD group and nonsignificant group according to the coronary angiography, and the significant CAD group was defined as at least one .The nonsignificant CAD group was defined as no one . 2.3. Statistical Analysis The data are expressed as , value (percentage), median (interquartile range). Independent -test was used for continuous data of two groups, and chi-square test was used for the categorical data of two groups. The upper leftmost value on the ROC curve best reflected the sensitivity and specificity of endocardial, myocardial, epicardial TLS, GLS, GCS, TnI, and LVEF in predicting severe CAD, and the area under ROC (AUC) of each parameter was calculated. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the potential factors affecting cardiac function, such as age, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and each parameter of echocardiography; was considered statistically significant. 3.1. Comparison of Angiography Angiography showed that 75 patients had significant CAD, and 45 patients had nonsignificant CAD. Among the patients with significant CAD, 21 patients had one coronary artery stenosis, 35 patients had two coronary arteries occlusion, and 19 patients had three coronary artery occlusions. 3.2. Comparison of General Data There were no significant differences in age, gender, height, weight, body surface area, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, blood lipid, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate between the two groups () (see Table 1). In the CAD group, 59 cases were larger than 0.2 ng/mL and 16 cases were smaller than 0.2 ng/mL. In the non-CAD group, 26 cases were larger than 0.2 ng/mL and 19 cases were smaller than 0.2 ng/mL. In all patients, endocardial TLS, GLS, and GCS were numerically higher than epicardial TLS, GLS, and GCS (). The TLS, GLS, and GCS of the three-layer myocardium in patients with significant CAD were damaged to varying degrees compared with those in patients with nonsignificant CAD, but the endocardial TLS, GLS, and GCS had the most pronounced effect. The absolute difference of TLS, GLS, and GCS between the endocardium and epicardium in patients with significant CAD was lower than that in patients with nonsignificant CAD (). This indicates that the central endocardial function is significantly decreased in significant CAD patients. Compared with the global strain, the absolute difference of the endocardial and epicardial strains is generally lower in the local strain. However, the differences between these parameters are not statistically significant (see Tables 2 and 3). Taking the results of coronary angiography as the gold standard, the ROC curve was used to evaluate the ability of LVEF, TnI, and strain parameters in diagnosing patients with significant CAD. The results showed that the endocardial TLS and middle TLS were better than epicardial TLS, and the endocardial GLS and GCS were better than epicardial GLS and GCS. The area under the ROC curve of strain parameters was greater than LVEF and TnI (see Table 4 and Figure 1). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the decrease of endocardial TLS was the only predictor of significant CAD, with OR value of 2.15 and 95% CI of 1.45-3.10, which was not related to the variables included in the model besides endocardial TLS. 3.4. Repeatability Test The intraobserver and interobserver consistency tests of each parameter are shown in Table 5. The data showed that the layered strain parameter had good repeatability. Approximately two-thirds of patients with NSTE-ACS require coronary angiography, and several different noninvasive methods to identify CAD are important in clinical work; ECG and troponin alone often fail to identify patients with obstructive CAD. Coronary CT angiography can improve diagnostic accuracy, but its clinical use is limited by being expensive or not available for emergency applications . In this study, we introduced the assessment of left ventricular longitudinal and circumferential strain with 2D-STE as a new method to identify patients with suspected NSTE-ACS, showing impaired left ventricular function in all three myocardial layers in patients with significant CAD compared to patients with nonsignificant CAD. The left ventricular wall is composed of three layers of myocardium, and the deformation and function of each myocardial ventricular wall layer varies during cardiac contraction. The endocardium thickens and shortens more during systole than the epicardium. Myocardial infarction models and myocardial infarction reperfusion studies have shown that the endomyocardial layer is first affected by ischemia, and as the severity increases, ischemia and necrosis spread from the endocardium to the epicardium. The endocardium is most susceptible to ischemia, so assessing changes in the myocardial strain in the endocardial layer can predict CAD . Traditionally, the whole myocardial wall thickness is considered in the evaluation of myocardial function, without considering the differences between the layers of the myocardium. The deformation of each myocardial layer is not independent, and contraction of the viable myocardium may lead to deformation of the adjacent nonviable myocardium by traction. Similarly, the nonviable myocardium may negatively affect the contraction of the adjacent viable myocardium. The deformation of each layer of myocardium is the sum of the active contraction within that layer and the passive traction of the adjacent myocardium. Therefore, layered strain analysis may improve diagnostic accuracy in these patients. The layered strain technique may increase the understanding of the morphology and pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia, and decreased endocardial function in patients with coronary artery disease can be caused by coronary artery obstruction, myocardial injury, and myocardial hibernation [8, 9]. In our study, endocardial longitudinal and circumferential strains were better than epicardial strains to identify patients with significant CAD. 4.1. Limitations of the Study The definition of myocardial stratification is arbitrary and is simply divided into 3 parts. Only longitudinal and circumferential strains were evaluated in this study, excluding radial strains, which have methodological limitations and have been shown to be inferior to longitudinal and circumferential strains in identifying ischemia and necrosis . Due to the poor reproducibility of strain measurements in the basal and apical segments, we selected only short-axis sections of the intermediate segments, and therefore, the results of the analysis were not comprehensive. We did not compare whether layered strain analysis has a more important value in the diagnosis of CAD compared to the conventional global strain analysis. Patients were not followed up, and it is not known what the long-term outcome of patients is, so although the above results suggest that layered strain assessment could be a complementary tool to diagnose patients with CAD, this should be also verified in future experiments. In this study, we evaluated the global and local strains of the left ventricle. When we evaluated the global strain of the left ventricle, there was no effect of anatomical variation. The function of three layers of the myocardium was decreased, and all three layers of the myocardium were affected by coronary artery stenosis. The layered strain technique of 2D-STE can evaluate the severity of coronary lesions in patients with NSTE-ACS, and for significant CAD patients, endocardial function is significantly more impaired than epicardial function.

Here are the day’s outrights and minor moves: - The Diamondbacks have outrighted catcher/corner infielder Jordan Pacheco, per the MLB.com transactions page. Entering his age-29 season next year, Pacheco has not produced at the plate outside of a Coors Field-aided run in 2012, when he managed a 93 OPS+. He is, however, a fairly versatile player, as he is capable of playing at least passable defense behind the dish and in the corner infield. Over 165 plate appearances split between the Rockies and D’backs last year, Pacheco slashed .255/.299/.333.

Philadelphia City Council will hold hearings about a proposed Roosevelt Boulevard Subway, a move spurred by the I-95 collapse in Northeast Philly over the weekend. Councilmember Mike Driscoll, who represents District 6 in the Northeast, is introducing a resolution on Thursday for the Committee on Transportation and Public Utilities to “review the impacts and funding options to extend the subway system into the Roosevelt Boulevard corridor,” per a press release. A proposal to extend SEPTA’s Broad Street Line along the main corridor connecting the Northeast to Center City was originally considered over 100 years ago, but never materialized. The idea of a Roosevelt Boulevard Subway started to gain renewed attention last summer. Driscoll’s office has been looking at the proposal for a while, said his legislative director Jacob Golden, and decided to introduce the resolution this week after a gasoline tanker caught fire underneath an interstate overpass, killing the driver, decimating a highway bridge, and sending tens of thousands of commuters into a tailspin. “We believe that if a Roosevelt Boulevard subway had been in place, the shock of I-95 would have been much more tame compared to what it is now for our commuters,” Golden told Billy Penn. The Sunday collapse of the northbound lanes of the highway at the Route 73/Cottman overpass, just north of the Tacony-Palmyra bridge, has closed the surrounding stretches of normally busy interstate in both directions and altered commuting patterns. That part of the highway will stay closed for months as repairs occur. Hearings don’t guarantee that a subway will be built through the Northeast, but they’re a step toward getting relevant parties to the table to seriously consider it. A dozen other councilmembers are co-sponsoring Driscoll’s resolution according to Jay Arzu, the Penn grad student and transit advocate who’s been instigating for the line to be built via discussions with officials and his Twitter account, @blvdsubway. Those co-sponsors include the transportation committee’s chair Kenyatta Johnson and vice chair Mark Squilla, plus four of its other members. Notably missing from the list is the other Northeast Philly district representative, Councilmember Brian O’Neill. The resolution looks to bring together stakeholders across all levels of government, legislative director Golden said, to have a formal discussion about what would need to happen to bring a subway line, or “some form of rapid transit” to Northeast Philly. Plans for a Roosevelt Boulevard Subway line have gotten numerous false starts since the original 1913 proposal, and a lack of funding was seen as the big hurdle for the most recent push about a decade ago. But Councilmember Driscoll is optimistic about the “once in a generation funding opportunities” available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Golden said. The idea of the hearings, he said, is to convene “the folks who can allocate money from Philadelphia, the folks who can allocate money from the state, and the folks that can allocate money from the federal government all together so that we have a strategy and a plan to best utilize our resources to make this happen.” On the list of planned invitees, per Golden: Philly’s congressional delegation, state legislators from the Northeast (and potentially beyond), and representatives from the Federal Transit Administration. “The councilman has seen the funding opportunities that are available, [and] aren’t going to be here forever,” Golden said. “And if we don’t take them, someone else will. He sees the immense value that decreasing car reliance and auto centric development would have for the people of his district.”

Introduction and effect of one (1) Australian social policy. Identify and describe one social policy that has been introduced by the Australia government Discuss the history and reasons behind the social policy change as well as examine the effects and impacts of the change within Australian society History of Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Australia This report covers the main concern of tobacco faced by people in Australia. Thus a health policy is developed to control the impact of tobacco consumption in life of an individual. This report describes a policy that is used to solve all the problems related to health. FCTC that is framework convention on Tabaco control is used to Australia to reduce eth overall consumption of tobacco and the entire history of this policy is discussed. This policy came into existence in 1991 and has impacted the entire society. This report covers the reasons behind implementation of such social policies. The effect and impact of Australian society because of this policy has also been listed below in this report. The social policy (FCTC), framework convention on Tobacco control policy was designed by world health organisation. This policy was designed and used to protect the present and future generation. This policy helps in removing all the social, environmental and economic consequences of tobacco consumption (Greenland, Johnson & Seifi, 2016). The rules and regulations were developed by Australian government for reducing the overall sale and production of tobacco products. The consumption of tobacco is increasing day by day in Australia thus this policy is used to remove the peer pressure from the society. The Australian government has initiated such policies to resolve all the concerns and promote healthy lifestyle among the people of Australia (Purcell, O'Rourke & Rivis, 2015). This policy stated that tobacco control should be minimised by increasing the prices, deciding a legal age, banned at public places, high taxes and promoting the health warnings. This policy helped the Australia in achieving major objectives and also helped in reducing poverty, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health and promoting environmental sustainability. The social policy for Tabaco control in Australia was FCTC that was a framework convention on Tabaco control that was adopted by the country on 21st may 1991. First of all this policy was proposed in May 1996 to world health assembly (Purcell, O'Rourke & Rivis, 2015). The policy got rectified again on 27 February, 2005. The Australian government banned the consumption of Tabaco by the use of media in 1976 and strict laws and policies were designed to stop Tabaco by 1991. This policy named as Tabaco control program was launched in 1990s which focused on banning cigarettes packs and promoting the side effects of smoking among people to make them health conscious. This policy was used to control the taxes fund (Brennan,et. al, 2015). This policy mostly focused on using mass media as a weapon to control the consumption of Tabaco. This policy was introduced in the schools and colleges to keep the building free from smoke. The prices of cigarettes were increasing which somewhere decreased the sale of such products. The importance of such policy arrived because tobacco became the reason of death. Australia is one of the countries who have successfully reduced the impact of Tabaco among people (Nakkash, Torossian, El Hajj, Khalil & Afifi, 2018). From the survey in 2013 it was found that around 7.8% of the burden in Australia is due to consumption of tobacco. Impact of Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Australia The reason behind this social policy is to improve the health status of the country. The consumption of tobacco among people has made them unhealthy and unstable that affects the overall criteria of the country. The reason behind social policy is to remove the social burden by monitoring all the health effects that are caused by smoking. The reason behind social policy is used to stop the consumption of tobacco (Bilano, et. al, 2015). This policy is used to prevent the consumption of such activities in their life. This can be done by advertising the warnings of tobacco in the society. The reason for this policy is to encounter pro-tobacco influence in the community. This helps in reducing the products of tobacco from the market. It also helps in increasing the service by helping smokers to quit this habit easily. This policy also provides funds for the society for reinforcement of activities and intervention of programs to reduce the overall intake of tobacco products. One of the main reasons behind this policy is to offer al the rights to people to achieve highest standard of heath (Nakkash, Torossian, El Hajj, Khalil & Afifi, 2018). There are several articles that are used to address all the strategies to reduce both the demand of tobacco and also reduce the supply (Hiilamo & Glantz, 2017). These policies are introduced in the society to prevent eh outcomes of smoking in children’s and teens. This policy helps in introducing all the protective factors by avoiding the risk that is caused on living style of people. The main motive of introducing such social policy in the market is restricting the sale of tobacco and supporting strong influence in tobacco industry. Thus this policy focused on improving the living lifestyle and making people aware about all the issues related to smoking. This showcase the warning by making people visible about all the negative factors associated in the society (Bate, 2016). The implementation of such policies in the society helps in making people aware about all the shortcomings. The consumption of tobacco in Australia was reduced to certain extent, thus the number of deaths due to consumption of tobacco was controlled. The effect of this policy somehow managed the consumption of tobacco wherein on the other hand the impact of tobacco can led to sever health problems like heart disease. The economic impact of the country was also impacted by the ban of tobacco. The sale was also reduced this impacted small businessmen on their economic lifestyle (Levin, 2016). Government of Australia ensure that certain communities are developed that encourages individuals to eat healthy and stay fit by running more to avoid all the issues caused by consumption of tobacco. The health system is used that focuses on individual benefits and action so that risks are diminished regarding all the health determinants. Alertness was created to reduce the danger of tobacco cases (Bosdriesz, 2017). The Australian government designed regulations for healthy cities by removing the reasons due to which the person uses to practise such activities. The reason for such issue is depression or stress thus it is necessary to obtain health literacy in the society. That is adapted by making healthy choices and living in a healthy environment (Steele, Gilmore, McKee & Stuckler, 2016). This report covers the policy introduced by Australian government that is framework convention on Tabaco control. This report covers the entire history behind this policy. The FCTC is one such policy in Australia that was introduced for controlling the consumption of tobacco among people. The consumption of tobacco was increasing day by day due to increasing stress and depression in people. The policy introduced various laws and regulations that control the consumption of tobacco and promote a healthy lifestyle. Bate, R. (2016).

The Golden Hearts coordinate bake sales which include the Annual Christmas Bake Sale, receive donations from indiviudals, and hold raffles throughout the year. The funds go towards items which will directly enhance the lives of our Residents. Past purchases included lawn chairs, sun awnings, bed check systems, craft supplies, tub chair, lap tables, transfer belts, cat fund donations, utility carts, exercise equipment, furnishings for the Family Room; monies donated to the new bus fund; Chaplaincy donations; Christmas supplies; garden donations to name a few ! New members are always welcome! The only qualification is that you must have a sincere desire to get involved and participate in helping the Golden Hearts reach its goals and objectives. Those who do not wish to come to the monthly meetings, can still volunteer to help with fundraising activities and be an associate member. If there is an event that you would be able to help with, please contact one of the members listed below – and they will provide you with the necessary information for that event.

This is An Update on the Sheet Mulch Perennial Garden. I was at the farm ten days ago and the vines were only about 10-feet long. Now they are pushing forty feet long and they all have fruit on them. I have a load of baby watermelons and at least fifty butter nut squash on the vines. The tomatoes are going crazy. My in-laws picked 27 tomatoes on Friday. Today is Wednesday and I just picked 67 more tomatoes. That is off of just 5 tomato plants! The perennials are doing just as good as the annuals. I’m not planning on harvesting any of the perennials this year with the exception of the occasional mint leaf here and there. I plan on leaving them be, so they can grow and get a good root structure down. The fertility of the sheet mulch garden is absolutely incredible. Both the annuals and the perennials are doing wonderful. The goal of this garden was to grow great perennials, but the annuals are overtaking everything. Tonight I had to pull a number of vines back and aim them in a different direction just so they didn’t totally overtake the perennials. Next year I will plant fewer annuals and the perennials will be larger. Ultimately the annuals will just fill a few spaces here and there, but this year I’m reaping the rewards of very fertile soil and annuals that are loving life. If anyone has an area where they want to increase soil fertility and vegetable yield, I highly recommend a sheet mulch project. From all of my research, it appears that the real production will start next year and will be great for many years to come. I’m so amazed with what I have this year, I just can’t imagine it being better than this! Please check out the Sheet Mulch Perennial Garden Update video.

PRP is a well-established treatment for the rejuvenation of the skin and its annexes. With its particular ability to stimulate collagen, it is considered a regenerative procedure. The treatment cycle normally includes three consecutive sessions, monthly. Following sessions are carried out every six months. However, we recommend a visit with the specialist to define the specific protocol tailored to the patient's needs. The procedure is very simple. The treatment begins with a blood sample, in fact 30 ml of blood are taken. The bottle is then transferred to a special centrifuge which, in 5 minutes of activity, allows the blood cells to separate. The corpuscular part, in fact, settles on the bottom, while the plasma remains "afloat". With a special instrument, Platelet Rich Plasma is taken (about 3-4 cc) and then injected into the skin and near the hair (if trichological therapy is required). Specific blood tests are required to perform the treatment. Request them with this link.

Fun night with American legend Published 8:13 pm Saturday, September 9, 2017 Suffolk residents can enjoy a fun and engaging evening with an American icon later this month. The Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts will host An Evening with Mark Twain and Friends from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 28. The event is organized by Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia and sponsored by Virginia Eye Consultants. Ryan Clemens, Virginia Stage Company’s resident theater artist, will play Twain and be joined by Reg Lanning on banjo and Samuel Flint singing old tunes for the performance. Email newsletter signup “It’s being transported back to the time of Mark Twain, and having that interaction where he’s less of a famous author and more as a person,” said Nealy Gihan, marketing and communications specialist for Senior Services. Clemens is a descendant of Mark Twain, the pseudonym of author Samuel Clemens. He has performed this show for more than a decade across Hampton Roads. He said he likes to be interactive with the audience as he embodies the sharp wit and warm humor of the beloved author. “When I play Mark Twain in a venue like this, I make a loose plan and then let Mark Twain do whatever he wants to do,” Clemens said. “It’s relaxed, personal, and fun.” Mosaic Café will serve a Mississippi-themed meal for the occasion. Ticket proceeds and 10 percent of the meal cost will be donated to Senior Services for its senior companion program for homebound and isolated seniors. Tickets for reservations are $45 and are available through Sept. 21. Visit ssseva.org or call extension 204 at 461-9481 for more information.

Supporting a Circular Economy Today is America Recycles Day, a day to promote and celebrate recycling in the United States. At Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) we are committed to reducing our virgin plastic use. Beyond material elimination, we are committed to designing for, collaborating on and investing in circularity models so the materials we use can be kept in the economy and out of the environment. Currently, American cities spend billions of dollars annually to send municipal solid waste, including recyclable products, to landfills. If those products were recycled, cities could save money, reduce emissions, create local recycling jobs and preserve natural resources. See how we are supporting a circular economy in the infographic below.

“The proposal wasn’t planned – it just happened,” says Guillermo Drew-Bear. While visiting his sweetheart Ashley Fina’s parents one Sunday, he took them aside and mentioned that he wanted to set a time to discuss something important with them at a later date. Ashley’s mother unexpectedly replied, “Why don’t we speak right now?” Though taken aback, Guillermo seized the moment with aplomb. “I told them how I felt about their daughter, how we complemented each other, and why I knew she was The One,” he recounts. “It came from the heart.” Not wasting any time, Guillermo then headed downstairs and proposed to Ashley. “It was a complete surprise,” she says. The impromptu manner of asking for her hand was not the only reason he didn’t have a ring to present Ashley. “Since she has a jewelry store, I knew it was something that we should pick together,” Guillermo explains. By the next day, Ashley was wearing an exquisite pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. As a nod to the groom’s lucky number, June 14 was decided as the wedding date. Guillermo was involved throughout the planning process. “We work great as a team and are both very detailed oriented,” Ashley shares. So they gave their creativity free reign and had fun with it. For their unique celebration, the couple did not want to take the typical route of hosting their nuptials at a hotel. Moreover, they needed a space that could accommodate their 400 guests and would not limit how late the celebration unfolded. An architectural gem in Brooklyn met their criteria to the hilt. Loved ones gathered for the ceremony beneath the venue’s breathtaking 110-foot-high dome displaying a vivid, ornate mural – part of which was replicated in the envelope liners of the wedding invitations. The fading light of evening filtered through the 20 oval windows at the base of the dome. Votives flickered in frosted hurricanes along the aisle, and a lush chuppah composed of ivory roses, hydrangeas, and greenery stood out against a backdrop of crimson Austrian drapes. A chamber ensemble played classical compositions for the processional. Bridesmaids wore an elegant assortment of mismatched sapphire dresses. Reflecting Ashley and Guillermo’s respective faiths, a rabbi and a priest officiated the service. Ashley will never forget walking down the aisle and seeing Guillermo’s smiling face. “He was beaming,” she asserts. The bride was resplendent in a custom gown with an illusion neckline accented with floral appliqués that were also sprinkled on the bodice and skirt. Her tresses were upswept to reveal brilliant diamond drop earrings, and she held a bouquet of white peonies. The groom accessorized his black tuxedo with an alabaster calla lily boutonniere and pearl cuff links. “The most important thing was the commitment we were making to spend the rest of our lives together and be surrounded by all our family and friends from around the world,” affirms Guillermo of the ceremony. Fittingly, they exchanged rose gold bands by Michael C. Fina with “I love you” engraved in hers and “Yo también” (Spanish for “Me Too”) in his. The décor of the dinner service captured the couple’s fondness for Central Park and springtime in New York. For starters, guests’ seating assignments were inscribed on emerald leaves and wine was poured at a hedge bar. Rows of long mirror-top tables were bedecked with veritable gardens. Bushels of verdant branches dotted with diminutive white flowers in glass vases towered over small single-variety bouquets of greenery and vanilla blooms. An array of attractive crystal vessels were used to create enchanting terrariums. The aged-bronze tone of chairs added to the woodsy atmosphere. A bear crafted of moss – paying a whimsical homage to the groom’s surname – was even placed in the vault for fun photo ops. A tree motif – a symbol of life – graced Guillermo’s handkerchief, dinner menus, and Spanish espadrilles given to attendees, and represented the new one the newlyweds were about to start together. Tasty fare fueled partygoers throughout the festivities. Tequeños – a Venezuelan treat of cheese wrapped in a crispy dough typically served at parties – were passed around the dance floor. In addition to the slices from the wedding cake – festooned with fresh flowers and foliage, and an adorable topper that resembled the couple’s pet parrot, Oscar – an impressive collection of some of New York City’s best desserts were presented. Lastly, there were scrumptious late-night snacks from The Burger Guru. The couple made sure to incorporate personal cultural elements in the entertainment. They participated in the traditional Jewish hora and, since Guillermo is Venezuelan, their band included Latin musicians. In keeping with wedding celebrations in his homeland, fun props – such as sunglasses, feathered masks, and top hats – were distributed to the revelers. Guillermo remembers dancing with Ashley at about 4AM and calling her his wife. “We both looked around at everyone having such a good time and us having an amazing time, I didn’t want the day to end,” he says. “Our vision was translated into reality. I would do it all over again – but only with her.”

“I’d like to look/assess/treat your Subscapularis muscle…” For the newer clients this statement is closely followed by a blank facial expressions. For the current clients this statement is closely followed by a groan or cheeky eye roll. ‘Unknown’ and forgotten even amongst health practitioners (trust me I know!!). The subscapularis is a large triangular shaped muscle that lies between your ribcage and shoulder blade. Why an entire blog post about just one muscle? I hear you ask.. From our experience the subscapularis muscle is a common source of pain for many of our clients, both local (shoulder region) and remote pain. Subscapularis also happens to be the muscle that relieved remote pain in my own body and hence is another reason I have chosen to write my first blog post on this incredibly annoying but fundamental muscle. Subscapularis – What? Where? Why? The image above to the left shows the subscapularis muscle insertion, the lesser tubercle of the humerus or upper arm bone. The second image on the right shows the muscles origin on the flat surface of the shoulder blade (subscapula fossa). Ever heard of the rotator cuff? Subscapularis is one of four muscles that makes up the rotator cuff, which creates stability of the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff works similarly to that of the four guy ropes on a tent, should one become too tight or loose the other three are impacted creating an imbalance. As we know any malalignment within our bodies has the potential to produce pain. The muscle is innervated by nerves travelling out of the neck. In our experiences, when subscapularis muscle becomes dysfunctional often it has the potential to lead to a number of other conditions, and very rarely produces local pain at the site of the muscle. Common referral patterns of a tight and unhappy subscapularis muscle include neck, back and shoulder pain, arm and wrist pain and you may also find reduced strength in these areas (Perry, 2018). How does Subscap become problematic? Prone to becoming tight and shortened, this muscle is most commonly accessed by clinicians via the armpit. There are many different reasons why this muscle can become dysfunctional and aggravated. The most common we find is posture… There’s a reason why you were constantly reminded as a child to sit and stand tall!! In certain positions and postures the subscapularis muscle can be shortened such as at the desk with use of a mouse, especially with the arm held away from the body. Other repetitive action also have the ability to produce dysfunction such as activities that involve a reaching action behind the back, common in swimming and racket sports. A fall onto an outstretched hand in most cases will lead to prolonged periods of immobilisation such as a cast on the wrist or a sling for a shoulder injury, but did you know it can also cause dysfunction to the subscapularis muscle. Once the immobilisation and rehabilitation period are complete, you may still find yourself feeling that things are ‘just not the same since that fall/break/accident’. This could potentially be due to unresolved dysfunction of the subscap. Even sleep position, one where you are side lying onto the shoulder, arm outstretched can lead to an accumulation of strain within the subscapularis muscle and resultant issues…. JUST FROM SLEEPING! … I hear the cogs ticking over now…. How do you know if your Subscapularis needs attending to? - Assess your posture using a mirror. - Where are your shoulders sitting in relation to the rest of your body? - Do you have a gorilla’s posture? (arms and shoulder position rolling inwards) - Assess your Range of Motion - Can you comfortably reach over head or do your shoulders feel restricted and tight? - Can you complete a Subscap Stretch against wall as pictured below? - Identify Weakness using the Lift-off Test - Leaning on an angle, shoulders resting against and feet slightly forward. - Place hand behind back palm contacting the wall. - Press the palm into wall as your body subsequently travels forward. If you noticed your posture is looking gorilla-like and/or had difficulty completing steps 2 and 3 it is likely your subscapularis muscle has been suffering in silence… or you have been soldiering on in pain!! Addressing the subscapularis is relatively easy (unfortunately I cannot promise it will be completely pain free) but following on from treatment you will be sure to notice a difference! The catch, we can not do all of the work for you, if order to achieve long-term and effective results you will need to commit to simple postural correction, strengthening exercise and gain an understanding of how to assess and manage this area in future. If you are interested to learn more or found yourself to have some positive tests, please call our clinic to book your appointment. We are ready to help you! - Kenhub (2018).

On 21 April 2023 the FCA published its long-awaited consultation paper on Multi-Occupancy Buildings. In this article we look at the reasons for the consultation and the consequences for insurance firms. The FCA has, for some time, been concerned about the way insurance products are distributed in relation to multi-occupancy property. The regulator has had several concerns, which can largely be divided into 2 broad areas: - Leaseholder interests – a key concern has been that in most cases a policy is taken out by a landlord or property management company, essentially for the benefit of leaseholders. However, leaseholders are not party to the policy and usually have very little say as to the choice of policy. - Remuneration – it has been common in the market for intermediaries to share their commission with the landlord or managing agent, with the latter receiving more than half of the intermediary’s commission in some cases. This has led to concern that leaseholds are not receiving good value for the premiums they are paying through their service charge, as they are essentially paying for their own landlord or managing agent’s commission share. Owing to the above concerns, the FCA has published the consultation paper to which it proposes: - A requirement for distributors to provide additional disclosure to leaseholders, including in relation to price and other policies that were available but not selected; - the provision of information relating to remuneration of all parties in the distribution chain, including any payaways to property managers and landlords; - a requirement for firms to respond to queries from leaseholders, even though they are not technically policyholders; - the disapplication of the 'contracts of large risks' exemption for multi-occupancy buildings; and - extending the PROD regime and 'best interest rule' to include consideration of leaseholders' interests. The FCA is not currently proposing a cap on remuneration or commission-sharing arrangements, but the impact of these proposals (assuming they are enacted) is likely to be that some of the larger commission-sharing arrangements will disappear. Intermediaries (and those distributing direct) are likely to face additional work in the form of queries from leaseholders. Impact for insurers Whilst most of the proposed changes will impact brokers, insurers must be mindful of these changes and how they impact the distribution of their products. For example, at product design stage insurers must ensure they have taken the leaseholders’ interests into account. Insurers should also ensure they are aware of changes to the remuneration practices of intermediaries and update any fair value assessments, as appropriate.

Are you looking to breathe new life into an old or poorly functioning kitchen? Wait a minute! Before contacting a Tampa remodeling professional, you will need to do a little researching and soul-searching first. Planning is the first phase of any remodeling, and sometimes it is the phase that is ignored. The more pre-planning you can do, the more chance there is for your Tampa remodeling project to be a success. Start to plan by creating a stylebook. If you are even thinking about a Tampa remodeling project, odds are good that you have been perusing multiple design magazines and watching home improvement shows. Both are great ways to jumpstart the creative spark, but to get the most out of the casual surfing, you will need to do more than turn the pages of a design magazine. While looking through the magazines, find photos of room remodeling projects that appeal to you and write what you like about the project on the back of the photo or in the margin. Then place the image into a clear protector and insert it into a three-ring binder to create your Tampa remodeling stylebook. The internet is another great source to remodeling inspiration. If you see room design that interests you, try to find if the photos of the room are available for download. Simply print the pictures and add them to your Tampa remodeling project stylebook. As the book grows, a clear image of your desired style will begin to merge, a fact that is helpful to you and a Tampa remodeling professional. Define the goals for your Tampa remodeling project. There is obviously a reason you want to remodel your Tampa home. What is that reason? Perhaps you want a family room that will help with resale in a few years. Maybe you need a kitchen that is built for entertaining or a kitchen that allows several family members to cook at one time. This is the time to make notes, assessing your needs and wants for the remodeling space, then distill the notes into a one or two sentence goal that applies just to your family. Have realistic expectations for your Tampa remodeling project. Above all else, make sure that you have reasonable expectations when it comes to your remodeling project. Talk to people who have been through the process before. The project is going to take a certain amount of time, there will be mess and there will definitely be stress. Understanding this from the beginning allows you to smash rose colored glasses, keeping some fun in the project. If you have had time to develop your vision for your Tampa remodeling project, and feel prepared to speak with a remodeling professional, call the team from Rossi Construction, Inc. to set an appointment for a free consultation. Our office can be reached by calling 813.436.0177.

Managing director and co-owner at Revolver, Michael Ritchie, opens up on five ads that all share a uniquely clever and courageous approach It was hard to put a list of recent favourite stuff together, but hopefully these all hold up. I was keen to not get too earnest with it all. The common denominator between my picks is smart strategy; clever ideas all brought together with some nice execution. All of these are subjective, but I will attempt to qualify them nevertheless... BrewDog - 'The Planet’s Favourite Beer' Agency: Droga5 London Production: Biscuit Filmworks Director: Jeff Low Post: Electric Theatre Collective Music company: No.8 x Run! Get Music! This is tone perfect to me. It's talking about sustainability, but rather than being woke and highbrow, it's completely self-deprecating, even (brilliantly) deferential to competitive brands. It's beautifully written and beautifully crafted - a particularly pleasing edit, all of which made me laugh. Burberry - 'Open Spaces' Agency x Directors: Megaforce Production: Riff Raff Films Post: MPC London I suspect this might be in everyone's High Five, and for good reason. What is extraordinary is how one of the oldest British luxury fashion brands can continue to push boundaries, and really create film that is shared the world over. This second iteration from Megaforce holds its own with their effort from last year...not an easy task. The brand’s position is now the envy of many but it's the commitment and courage in the film making that has projected it and allowed for a truly amazing visual treat that I never tire of watching. Krafton, Battlegrounds Mobile India - 'Game Responsibly' Agency: DDB Mudra Group Production: Early Man Film Director: Abhinav Pratiman I am not a gamer but my sons are. I don't condone violent games and never will. We do pretty well at home to keep a lid on their game time, but this film really goes there. It's dry, slightly crazed and beautifully realised. I feel it connects to both the gamer and the guardian and it’s got a pretty obvious but effective solution to the problem of over-gaming. H&M - 'Show Them What You’re Made Of. Walk Tall with H&M Man' Agency: Uncommon Creative Studio Production: Anonymous Content Director: Mark Romanek I guess this is a balance to all my other choices here - but it’s one that resonates. Such a perfectly good idea and so beautifully crafted. ROLLiN’ - 'Larry' Agency: Bear Meets Eagle On Fire Director: Andreas Nilsson Post: Blockhead x The Editors Music: Rumble Studios Full disclosure, we did this spot. It’s for Australia. This is a launch spot for people 18 to 30 who need to insure stuff like cars but they don’t want all the baggage that the conventional insurance companies carry. It's boldly silly, totally effortless (as the product is) and perfectly pitched tone-wise - and I still enjoy gag where Larry rolls over his own mouth muffling his ode to Digital Underground. Love seeing new brands come out that have the courage to be right there where they need to be.

Given the sour end to the Milwaukee Bucks season, some of these end of year awards probably feel a bit like salt in the wound for fans, but it’s worth taking a moment in this turbulent time to acknowledge the success of Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez making the All-Defense First Team for this season. The 2022-23 Kia NBA All-Defensive First Team:— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) May 9, 2023 ▪️ Alex Caruso, Chicago Bulls ▪️ Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks ▪️ Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis Grizzlies ▪️ Brook Lopez, Milwaukee Bucks ▪️ Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers pic.twitter.com/Qc5eTBeBkx It’s no surprise Lopez is on there given he was a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award and Jrue Holiday took home the “award” for top defender in The Athletic’s player poll last month (Jimmy Butler must not have voted in that one...). It may be a bit surprising to not see Giannis Antetokounmpo on here for some fans, but I can’t say it’s too crazy? There were a lot of power forwards dominating the DPOY ballot this year so it’s easy to edge off someone who had to shoulder such a large offensive burden for much of this year. However, Giannis did earn a ton of attention from voters. So much that he actually had more points than Dillon Brooks or Bam Adebayo, but due to positional restrictions he missed out. It’s also a testament to Brook Lopez that throughout his storied career, he will now have two All-Defense finishes after being written off as a liability on that end for much of his time in the NBA. This will be the last vestige of Coach Bud’s regular season dominating defensive style during his tenure. While the team will certainly be soul-searching this summer, at least two of its core pieces can pat themselves on the back for a bit. Moving forward, it’ll certainly be interesting to see if Milwaukee maintains such a stranglehold on these All-Defense teams under a new coach. UPDATE: Giannis saw the news and shortly after his Instagram was updated...

6 steps to internet safety We have compared the internet to a big city full of attractions and diversions. But like a big city, the internet has its dark byways and risky neighbourhoods. You need to know how to skirt round them – especially if there are young people in your household. How to Stay Safe online Would you leave your front door open? If you use a public computer to log onto webmail, a shopping site, or any website that requires you to log in, make absolutely certain that you log out again once you have finished; don't just close the window. Staying logged in is like leaving your front door ajar: someone could happen by and gain access. Don't leave your assets lying around If for whatever reason you stop using an online bank account, or an internet shop, or a social media site, then close your account. Don't let it sit there dormant: though it's unlikely to happen, someone could get to it and exploit it. Would You Let Your Mother See It? If you have teenagers in your house, tell them to take care over what they post on social networks. Say: would you be happy for me, or a teacher or your grandmother to see what you are saying? If not, then don't post it. The same goes for you: avoid getting into online arguments (flame wars, as they are known) on social media sites. Where do you live? Don't share identifying information with people that you only know online. And never use your name, home town or age in your usernames. Protect your passwords Don't give anyone else access to your online accounts or passwords. Make sure that all your accounts are protected by strong passwords. Know Who You Are Talking To Impress upon any young people in your household that they should never, ever arrange to meet people that they have only been in contact with on the web. If you or anyone in your household does internet dating, then use a recommended, well-established company; and when you go on a date, make sure that someone knows when and where it is taking place, and the name of the person you are meeting.

Sen. Dino Melaye has advised the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike not to talk after consuming alcohol. Dino gave the advise yesterday in reaction to Wike’s comments that he(Dino) is not qualified to govern Kogi State. He also said it is laughable that Wike who supported him financially and otherwise in 2019 could come out to make such comments, adding that he is more qualified to be Governor than Wike. According to him, power comes from God and that Wike does not have what it takes to make him governor. He also took a swipe at the Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello describing him as the worst governor in Nigeria. Dino noted that after the Kogi elections, he would be in Government House while Wike spends time in prison.

MELAKA, Nov 8 — Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh arrived at the Tanjung Bidara nomination centre this morning to submit his candidacy for the state election. Despite a prohibition by the authorities for any form of political gathering to prevent the spread of the highly contagious Covid-19 — which is still totting up thousands of cases daily nationwide — he was accompanied by some 50 supporters during his walk to the nomination centre. The entourage threw caution to the wind and crowded around the politician. They dispersed only after the police intervened. Ab Rauf reached the nomination centre at 8.50am. In contrast, his political rivals from Pakatan Harapan Zainal Hassan, and Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin from Bersatu, were already waiting at the nomination centre, which opens its doors at 9am sharp. The Election Commission accepted the nomination papers submitted by the three politicians. With this, Tanjung Bidara is confirmed to be a three-way fight, barring any of the trio pulling out mid-stream. As soon as the nomination papers were verified, EC officials told all those gathered, including members of the press, to disperse and follow the Covid-19 resignations. Outside the nomination centre, Ab Rauf told reporters that this election contest doesn’t just pit him against two other people but also against the different politics espoused by their coalitions since all three have been in government prior to today. “This is not merely a contest between me and two others and who is more popular but it is a contest between governments. “Pakatan Harapan took over in May 9, 2018. Then a new government came into play last year. So everyone is choosing the government that they want,” the Umno veteran said. Ab Rauf was asked to comment on the new guidelines for candidates issued by the Election Commission earlier today. He acknowledged the ban on all physical social activities during the campaign season, including house visits and ceramah. But Ab Rauf asked the authorities to issue a much more detailed list. “I implore the EC and the National Security Council to issue a much more detailed list. I do not want to interpret the prohibition inaccurately and get fined. For example, if i am sitting down having coffee with people in the cafe could that be considered as an offence too? “So we need better clarity on this,” he replied. Prior to the elections, the Health Ministry announced a ban on political gatherings and any social events stemming from the state polls, starting October 25 to November 27. Today, the EC had issued its own list of dos-and-don’ts for candidates for the entire duration of the official campaigning period starting today until November 19. Polling day is November 20.

Structure decentralized digital identities for the world…Crypto.Com Domain… Usage NFT domains as your: Universal username across apps and sites Payment address for wallets and far more! When sending out cryptocurrencies to yourself or others, the problem that typically emerges is verifying that you have the right address, due to the fact that it is a complex string of numbers and letters, even doing a copy and paste most likely results in you diligently verifying that whatever pasted correctly, although it should have. This is where Unstoppable Domains intends to assist drive adoption of crypto with their blockchain domains. These domains can not only be utilized as fully practical web pages, with decentralized applications (dApps) integrated, however also as a payment hub address where users can get over 275 various crypto coins and tokens. By giving complicated crypto addresses a human legible name, Unstoppable Domains aims to be the domain addresses of the future. Unstoppable Domains Pros & Cons One-time purchase of domain Streamlines way in which individuals engage with crypto addresses Censor resistant domain stored in your wallet More functionality than traditional domains Supports 276 crypto possessions Have to spend ETH to claim domain Still some concern as to whether Unstoppable Domains will achieve extensive adoption Some domains are still pre-sale only What is Unstoppable Domains? Unstoppable Domains was founded in 2018 by Matthew Gould, the existing CEO, who saw a need for it to be easier for users to interact with crypto addresses. The aim of Unstoppable Domains is to be like the DNS system that came into place, so users did not need to learn IP addresses in order to get to websites, except for crypto addresses. In this way they have been successful significantly, as they have developed a domain system that allows users to establish payments for 276 digital possessions under a single domain name, while also having the ability to be utilized as a fully working site that can even have dApps built onto them due to the fact that the domain is hosted on the blockchain. With no annual renewal and a single payment fees, Unstoppable Domains is an interesting tool for crypto users. Is Unstoppable Domains Safe? Unstoppable Domains is very safe since once declared the domains exist under your address on blockchain, indicating they are as safe and secure as the blockchain itself. It is twice as safe due to the fact that this likewise suggests that the domain can not be obstructed by anybody other than you, so your site is never at risk of being down due to censorship. The site for purchasing the domains is safe also and can be protected with two-factor authentication. Just How Much is Unstoppable Domains? The cost of Unstoppable Domains depends upon a two primary aspects, though it should be kept in mind that buying a domain is a one-time expense and requires no annual renewals of any sort. The very first factor is the cost of the domain itself, this can vary from $20 USD to well over $1000 USD depending on the domain you choose, as expense is based upon domain type (. crypto is more than.wallet for example), and the length of the domain name, with shorter domains costing extra. In addition, there are exceptional domains that cost 10s of thousands. Crypto.Com Domain The next element is the gas fees associated with utilizing the Ethereum blockchain to claim your domain, due to the fact that the domains are stored on the Ethereum blockchain, the transaction to claim them comes in ETH and is not consisted of in your preliminary purchase. The gas fees you will pay will depend on the existing expense of ETH and the network blockage at the time of the deal. In general you can get most likely yourself a cheap.crypto domain and claim it for under $50 overall. What Are the very best Features Crypto.Com Domain There are a few features of Unstoppable Domains that stand out. The fact that it is a one-time purchase with no yearly renewal is incredibly appealing thinking about the way traditional domain ownership works, and in addition, the domain is censor resistant, indicating it can not be taken down by anyone aside from the owner. The domains also have more functionality than conventional domains because they can be utilized to a payment router, but likewise used to produce websites with dApps constructed straight on them because they exist on the blockchain, allowing the use of clever agreements on your site. Perhaps the very best and most appealing feature of Unstoppable Domains is that is offers you a method to have one address for you to get 276 various crypto assets, suggesting as soon as you set it up you will just ever require to understand your domain and your payments will be routed to the wallets you established for each cryptocurrency. It is much easier not just for you, but for anybody who you wish to receive funds from. unstoppable domain names who came up with that brand great a plus so unstoppable domain names is a san francisco-based business that is offering domain name extensions that are connected to the blockchain instead of being connected to the dns system specifically you can get a dot crypto which is connected to the ethereum blockchain or you can get a zillow domain name extension which is tied to the silica blockchain which is an alternative to ethereum the benefit of using these blockchain based domain extensions is simply that they are decentralized so the dns system is controlled and run by icann so anything always requires approval from that governing body but something like a dot crypto or zillow these are based on the blockchain and they are simply completely decentralized so there’s no governing body there’s nothing that requires any type of approval or authorization you as the owner own your domain name so in this video i want to discuss to you whatever that you require to know as a novice about unstoppable domain names ensure to examine the links in the description for time stamps and any resources mentioned in this video so let’s begin how does domain name registration really work i think people are going to be quite surprised that it’s method more complex and technical than you envisioned so when you go to somewhere like namecheap.com or godaddy.com you’re not really buying the domain what you’re doing is you’re releasing the domain name through a icann certified domain name register why do i say i can accredit because you can’t get your domain straight from i can which is again the not-for-profit company that manages the dns system you need to go through an icann accredited domain name register in order to get a domain name and that’s just how it works like you resemble why do i need to do that i don’t understand why asking me those are just the rules and that’s what people have actually been doing for the last few years in order to get a domain name so that’s why you require to pay a yearly charge on your domain since you’re not really purchasing an owning domain what you’re doing is leasing their domain name so you’re going to namecheap.com to get your.com what they’re doing is then they’re going through the computer system registry that manages that domain name extension which is then absolutely managed and arranged by icann broadly speaking so like when you get it.com.net.org the windows registry for that extension is a verisign for example so all these various domain extensions have various computer system registries and the role of the windows registry is just to manage the administrative information for that particular domain nft domain versus the conventional dns system what’s the distinction well the traditional dns system is a central system as i mentioned earlier based around icann so you have icann you have your domain computer registries then you have your icann certified domain name registrars nfts by contrast are non-fungible tokens non-fungal meaning like you can’t jump in and alter it however like what does that specifically imply a non-fungible token is simply a piece of information found on a blockchain that is verifiable and represents a distinct digital product in this instance our domain dot crypto versus dot zill what’s the distinction with these two so if you leap over to unstoppabledomainnames.com link in the description you’re going to find out that you can’t geta.com.net.org why well you can’t you ought to already sort of know why because those are handled by verisign which is a domain registry which is managed by icann that’s part of the dns system that’s why you can’t get those kinds of domain names through unstoppable domain you can just get blockchain based domain names right now they just have a dot crypto in dot zo at the time of tape-recording this video the main difference is that these two are connected to various block chains that’s it so you have your dot crypto which is connected to the ethereum blockchain you have your dot zill which is tied to the silica block durian blockchain is way more developed and you have a little bit more features and services built around uh at the ethereum blockchain with a dot crypto domain name than you make with a dot zill but functionally speaking they are the same individualized crypto addresses that can be set up as a payment entrance so this is the primary feature of unstoppable domain names clearly over time as like we have decentralized web host develop gradually it will be possible to utilize like a decentralized domain and a decentralized webhosting to produce your own decentralized website currently it’s not truly possible i suggest you can do it however it’s quite technical uh but what’s more crucial is that you can set up your dot crypto address or your dot zill address as a payment entrance so what a lot of novices i think don’t understand is like when you have bitcoin you have to send it to a specific bitcoin address if you have white coin you have to send out that to a litecoin address if you have bitcoin money you need to send it to a bitcoin money address and so it gets to be a little bit of a headache of managing all these various addresses and if you wish to get payment from particular people you have to give them this address and this address and this address it’s truly a headache like what if there’s just some method to integrate everything into something that’s a bit more rational easy to use and easy to keep in mind that’s the advantage of using unstoppable domain names and setting up something like dot crypto dot zill as a payment gateway because then you can receive payments and of all various types of cryptocurrency to one address because when you get whatever established you just delve into your unstoppable domain names account and after that you can include your different wallets for your various cryptocurrencies s. There is only one genuine prospective dealbreaker when it pertains to using Unstoppable Domains, which is the expense of claiming your domain with Ethereum. This may just be a dealbreaker because you do not have any Ethereum at your address and need to acquire some in order to claim your domain, or if for some reason you believe it is unreasonable to pay the gas costs. This is a one-time deal cost, and unless you choose to sell/transfer your domain to somebody else it will be the additional charge associated with getting your domain. Crypto.Com Domain

"The Third Day After Thanksgiving" Giovanni di Polenta Giovanni di Polenta really, really wanted to be a fry cook, but, coming from a long line of painters, family pressures prevented him from abandoning his easel and brushes for a griddle and spatula. His frustrated ambition is reflected in his relentless use of fast-food themes for which he became barely famous, or at any rate, notorious. Beginning with his "Nativity: the Magi Bring Takeout to the Stable", and continuing in "Madonna and Child with Extra Fries", Polenta explored the limits of his abilities, usually with a brush in one hand and a newspaper cone of fish and chips in the other. It was executed in 1453 using tempura on a wooden serving platter. The sheer amount of second-hand grease in his paintings has led to the loss of several of his less obscure works. In the warm summer of 1908 his "John the Baptist in the Dessert Line" slid slowly off the canvas in the Tate Museum in London, where it lay in a pile on the floor until the maintenance people came in later that evening. The work shown here, alternatively titled "The All-You-Can-Eat Hardee's Thanksgiving Hangers-on" is dedicated to opportunistic gourmands everywhere. His last work, the "Madonna of Pizza" altarpiece hangs, appropriately, in the Domino Cathedral in Pisa.

A lottery is a game in which numbers are drawn by chance. It is usually organized by a government or private enterprise to raise funds for public projects. Prizes are often cash or goods, but can also be services or even a free vacation. People can play the lottery by purchasing a ticket for a small fee. The first known European lotteries date back to the Roman Empire. These lotteries were mainly held at dinner parties as an amusement and distributed prizes of unequal value to each participant. The lottery has long been a popular form of raising money, and many states now have one. It’s important to understand how the odds work before you start playing the lottery. You’ll be able to better predict your chances of winning and avoid making costly mistakes. The first step is to understand that the odds of winning are not based on your own skill, but rather on how many other players have entered the drawing. You can calculate the odds of winning by dividing the total number of tickets sold by the number of available prizes. Then, multiply that figure by the probability that your chosen number will be drawn. The resulting odds will give you an idea of how likely it is that you will win the jackpot. If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can purchase a lottery ticket with multiple numbers. However, keep in mind that you should never spend more than you can afford to lose. When choosing your lottery numbers, it is important to avoid cliches such as birthdays and anniversaries. These numbers tend to be more common and may make it harder for you to distinguish your choices from others. Try to find numbers that are not commonly used and be willing to venture into uncharted numerical territory. This will improve your odds of winning by avoiding a shared prize. Although the risk of losing is fairly low, it’s still a risk. Lotteries are a form of gambling that can be addicting. Many people use the lure of a large payout to justify spending money they could save for other purposes. This is a big mistake, as lottery play can lead to debt and financial ruin. In addition to helping the poorest citizens, the lottery also helps finance the state’s budget. In the immediate post-World War II period, this arrangement enabled the Northeast states to expand their array of social safety nets without especially onerous taxes on the middle and working classes. However, by the 1960s this arrangement was beginning to break down.

It opened in 1962, and until this spring, remained unchanged in appearance. But today the Strathcona Hotel is unveiling a major renovation to its legendary Big Bad”s John’s “hillbilly bar”. The work took place in two stages, with the original drop-ceiling being removed earlier this year, to reveal a surprising amount of space above the bar. Today workers hurried to prepare a new bar and refrigeration system to complete the transformation. The family-owned hotel boasts the largest seating capacity of any licensed establishment in the city. And most of the other beverage areas (Distrikt, the Rooftop Surf Club, Games Room, Sticky Wicket, Maple Room and Clubhouse) have gone through many changes over the years. But the one constant has been Big Bads. Owner Craig Olson explains that “it was time, we found stuff in there that needed some work”. And he says that this season has been strong, with May 2015 being their strongest month since late 2013. He attributes the strength to the good weather, cruise ship numbers and of course the US dollar. The industry favourite “Blackout” night on Sunday evenings still brings the largest crowd to a pub of any bar in Victoria. Big Bad John’s should be open later today (Thursday, June 18th)

"It's a new stadium for me and somewhere I'm looking forward to playing at," Archie said as the Grecians make a first trip to the Wham Stadium since April 2018. "They're a well established League One side and they haven't lose this season - it's going to be a tough game. We have to get our performance right and just focus on ourselves. "We have to find their weaknesses, and we have to be tight away from home and start the game right, and play in the style we want to portray." Hear more from Archie 👇

Tower fans have become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to their sleek design, space-saving capabilities, and efficient cooling abilities. If you’re considering buy tower fan for your home or office, there are a few important factors to consider before making your decision. Need To Know Before Buy Tower Fan 1. Size and Design: Tower fans are known for their slim and vertical design, making them ideal for small spaces or rooms with limited floor space. Before buy tower fan, measure the available space where you intend to place it to ensure that the fan’s height and footprint will fit comfortably. Additionally, consider the design and color of the fan to ensure it complements your existing decor. 2. Airflow and Cooling Capacity: When it comes to tower fans, airflow, and cooling capacity are crucial considerations. Look for a fan with multiple speed settings, as this will allow you to customize the airflow according to your comfort preferences. Additionally, check the fan’s cooling capacity, typically measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). A higher CFM rating indicates a more powerful fan capable of circulating air effectively in larger spaces. 3. Noise Level: While tower fans are generally quieter than traditional pedestal or box fans, the noise level is still an important factor to consider, especially if you plan to use the fan in your bedroom or office. Look for models that advertise quiet operation or include noise reduction features. Reading customer reviews can also provide insight into the fan’s noise level in real-world scenarios. 4. Oscillation and Directional Control: Many tower fans come with oscillation features, which allow the fan to rotate and distribute air across a wider area. This can be particularly beneficial if you want to cool an entire room instead of just a specific spot. Some models also offer directional control, allowing you to adjust the airflow vertically or horizontally. Consider whether these features are important to you and choose a fan that meets your requirements. Read Also: How to Choose the Best USB Desktop Fan? 5. Additional Features: Buy tower fan often come with additional features that enhance their functionality and convenience. Some common features include remote control operation, programmable timers, sleep modes, and LED displays. Remote control operation allows you to adjust settings without having to get up, while programmable timers enable you to set the fan to turn on or off at specific times. Sleep modes typically reduce the fan’s speed and noise level during nighttime use, and LED displays provide easy-to-read information. 6. Energy Efficiency: If you’re concerned about energy consumption and want to minimize your carbon footprint, consider choosing an energy-efficient tower fan. Look for models with an Energy Star certification or those that advertise energy-saving features. These fans are designed to consume less power while still providing effective cooling. 7. Maintenance and Cleaning: Like any household appliance, tower fans require regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Before buy tower fan, check if it has a removable and washable air filter. A washable filter can be easily cleaned and reused, saving you money on replacement filters. Additionally, consider whether the fan’s exterior is easy to clean, as this will make the maintenance process more convenient. Buy tower fan involves considering various factors such as size, design, airflow, noise level, oscillation, additional features, energy efficiency, and maintenance. By taking these factors into account, you can make an informed decision and select a tower fan that suits your needs and preferences. A well-chosen tower fan can provide effective cooling, improve air circulation, and enhance your overall comfort in any room or space.

By Tracy L. Barnett Nov. 6, 2010 MEDELLIN, Colombia – I arrived just after dawn after a nine-hour bus ride from Cali, but a fresh breeze from the mountains awakened my excitement at being here in this legendary city at last. Known as the City of Eternal Spring, its descent into war and drug-related violence earned it the sadly twisted moniker “City of Eternal Violence.” Much has been written of Medellin’s unfortunate role as the headquarters of Pablo Escobar, the most ruthless of Colombia’s drug kingpins, and the references continue long after elite forces stormed his palatial home and shot him dead in 1993. Like Cali, a bloodbath of homicides and car-bombings held this city in its thrall for years. Walking its peaceful, shady streets today, the nightmare of the ‘90s is just a faded memory, but its legacy lingers on – in the 4.5 million displaced by wars and narcotrafficking that live in shantytowns on the outskirts of cities like Medellin. The core of this city is a paragon of planning, with a Metro system that’s the envy of Latin America and an inclusive approach to development that seeks to break down the barriers between rich and poor with ample public spaces. The wealth accumulated here is evident in the gleaming skyscrapers standing proud against the blue mountains that encircle the Valle de Aburrá, most of which have developed in the past decade. Still, as my first day in this city made vividly clear, those barriers are far from breaking, with thousands in the colonias outside the city living without jobs, public services, education and hope. Residents of Medellín and the mountainous department of Antioquía, who call themselves “paisas,” are known for their determination, their creativity and their forward-looking approach to life, described by the term “hecho p’adelante,” moving forward. Those characteristics don’t just apply to the well-off, as I was to see. I found my hotel in the city center, took a shower and sat down with a cup of coffee and the newspaper, and was intrigued by the lead photo in El Colombiano: a group of youths dressed as Gandhi were making their way around the city, passing out little cards written with messages of peace. On my way to the supermarket, I ran into one of them, a young man whose face still bore the wrinkled makeup from his morning’s event, and who invited me to the group’s next action in the Parque de las Luces (Park of Lights). “We’re protesting the militarization of our country,” said one of the youths, referring to the obligatory military service for those without economic means, and the millions currently being spent on what former President Uribe called “democratic security,” placing military forces throughout the countryside. Those forces have been credited with quelling the violence, but have also been charged with countless human rights violations. The main concern expressed by the young men was the lack of economic alternatives that compel young people to choose a path of violence: either join the military, or take up a life of crime. As we chatted, the noise of drums in the distance was growing louder, and soon we saw why. A demonstration was headed our way, and this was like no demonstration I’ve ever seen. Had it not been for the multicolored signs of protest, I’d have thought I was in the middle of a moving carnival. Children on stilts, their faces brilliantly painted, towered above clowns in rainbow-colored wigs and colorful tophats. A storm was rolling in so I only got to read a few signs before the clouds opened upon us, dispersing the crowds. The main purpose of this group, from what I was able to discern, was to raise awareness about the desperate conditions among the city’s poor, the increase in cost of services like water and electricity, and an assortment of other issues. I was struck by the colorfulness and the lively, almost joyful approach to their protest, and I mentioned it to one of the Gandhis, a young man who makes his living by juggling, walking on stilts and occasionally performing in public theater events –like the one he was participating in, which, it turns out, was sponsored by the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation. “We learned awhile back that people pay more attention to us if we approach them in a fun way, instead of being all angry,” he explained. “So we’ve had to be more creative.” My main contact in Medellín, a mysterious leader in the environmental movement, café owner, attorney and permaculturist known to me only as Pato, is in Peru for the duration of my stay, but he’s put me in touch with a couple of his young colleagues, and I duly follow his leads. The first one takes me out to the countryside for a blessed respite from the city at the newly founded Centro de Artes Ecologicas. I’d been asked to collaborate on a book about permaculture projects throughout the world, and I was excited to see what these creative paisas had come up with. I’m not sure what I expected – ecological houses, fragrant gardens and a busy staff, perhaps – but it’s not what I got. There to meet me at the bus stop on the gravel road in the one-bar town of Sajonia, Rio Negro, some 40 minutes from Medellin was David Rojas, a volunteer who was holding down the fort in Pato’s absence. Someday we plan to build buildings, but for now we just have the carro-casa, he was telling me. Sure enough, the Cento de Artes Ecologicas is currently based in a broken-down RV, donated by a German who used it to travel through Latin America. It seemed I’d be camping. “I hope you’re not disappointed,” David said. I quickly recovered from my initial disillusionment and began to listen and look at what was around me. David was a soft-spoken, tousle-headed young man who seemed to weigh the value of each word against that of quietude. I soon found a wellspring of wisdom in that quietude and in the conversations we shared in this beautiful corner of paradise. “Most people are so busy they don’t really take the time to even listen to themselves, much less to others or to the nature that surrounds us,” he told me. “I come here to do just that.” He took me on a tour of the site, filled with insights about the innovative permaculture practices the group is employing as they develop the property into a training center for ecological design. The hectare of land that the group has chosen is enormously diverse, with habitats ranging from wetlands to hardwoods to pine forest to pasture, and it slopes upward to a spectacular view of the hills all around. He gave me a demonstration of the eco-bricks technique being used throughout Latin America, in which plastic bottles are packed tight with trash and used as bricks to build water storage tanks, benches, roads and even houses. As darkness fell, we built a fire and cooked a simple dinner of pasta and onions, tomatoes and cheese, served with aguapanela, a delicious drink typical in the region made of hot water and panela, an unrefined chunk of condensed sugar cane syrup. The next day we traveled together to the nearby mountain town of Ceja, where I met his friend and colleague Andrés Correa, another energetic and charismatic young leader. The two of them are working on an ecological design project for an ecoresort in Cocorna, Tierra del Agua, www.tierradeagua.org, and they took me on a tour of a new agroforestry project established by the YMCA where they conduct workshops with local youth. My other Pato contact was Laura Montoya, an elusive sprite of a woman who only sporadically answered e-mail and telephone. Laura had inherited the leadership of eReciclaje, an urban permaculture group established by her partner, Felipe Rrague, upon his departure to study in the States. I finally caught up with her at a presentation at a local university, and she was worth the wait. Laura Montoya of the peacock-feather earring, the disarming smile and the passionate rapid-fire defense of the Pachamama, is a one-woman Earth revolution in action. Over coffee, she finally decided that I was worth her time, and she invited me to her home and the new headquarters of eReciclaje in the marginal barrio of Belen, up in the hills on the outskirts of the city. The trip itself was almost as memorable as the actual visit. Starting from the classic Hotel Nutibarra, whose elegant neoclassic lines are meant for others with a far greater budget than mine, I climbed into a reconditioned school bus destined for the outskirts. After nearly half an hour of traffic through the modern world of esthetic salons and shopping malls and residential neighborhoods we began to climb up and up into another world, one in which houses begin with brick and end with sheet metal and black plastic, where women still carry water in jugs and corn in tubs on their heads, where you or your neighbor may or may not have electricity or running water. It was here that eReciclaje located its second project, the first one, an urban permaculture center in the rougher Barrio Triste neighborhood having been undone by a robbery. Here, according to Laura, Felipe started over again, building terraces and irrigation ditches and working the land. Here is the regional headquarters for Clean Up The World, an international group working to organize mass cleanup projects, and here the plastic detritus of the neighborhood becomes eco-bricks of the sort David had demonstrated to me earlier. But first, I had to find it. The neighborhood was a network of streets without names, and a misunderstanding led me to get off the bus in the wrong place. Finally, there she was, smiling, brilliant in her green hindu pants, big white sunglasses and peacock feather. We embraced, long-lost friends who had only met, and she led me up the hill to her “finca” next to the brick factory, where trucks rumbled up and down all day long, carrying away red bits of mountain in their cavernous beds. Ironic, and somewhat poetic, that their little eco-brick workshop is right next to a brick factory of quite a different sort. I thought of what David told me the other night in Sajonia as he tended his little fire. The Center for Ecological Arts is similarly situated in a truck-traffic zone near the cantera (quarry) and trucks rumble past all day long. Here, too, one can look out from this little mountain paradise and see the mountain across the valley being slowly eaten away. “Some might see this as a negative thing, and sure, it’s sad to see the way they are altering the mountain – I wish they wouldn’t do it,” David had said, thoughtfully. “But this is exactly the mentality we are working to change – so it’s better that we are here, rather than isolating ourselves from it.” Laura, it turned out, is not so different from me at 25, in love with an activist completely dedicated to his work, taking on the mantel of his cause as her own. Only hers had left the whole operation in her young hands. Suddenly I understood her reluctance to meet with me. She had been simply overwhelmed. Still, her words flowed crisp and clear like the mountain stream outside the window. “Everything has a message if we listen,” she told me.

Despite not being a federal holiday, October 31st is almost sacred in the United States. But, if you’re one of the millions of Americans who cling to their distant ancestry DNA test results, then you’ve probably asked yourself if they celebrate Halloween in other parts of the world, like England. So if you were getting worried that you wouldn’t be able to enjoy your Halloween cocktails and fun-sized candy bars on your upcoming semester abroad, you can rest easy. Your English Halloween might not look exactly like your one at home, but it’ll be fun all the same. Major Differences in American and English Halloween Celebrations Although parts of the United Kingdom have started celebrating America's favorite spooky holiday, the Brits have yet to really catch the Halloween fever. America's cultural domination of digital media like television shows, films, and social media marketing has helped spread the holiday through the King's land faster than ever before. But for all the increased number of people carving pumpkins and dressing up, there are some things about America's favorite holiday that've gotten lost in translation. In England, They Celebrate Guy Fawkes Night Where Americans have Halloween, the English have Guy Fawkes Night, a raucous celebration held on November 5th that commemorates the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 where a group of secret Catholics, including Guy Fawkes, tried to blow up the English Parliament in retaliation for the anti-Papist cultural and religious crimes being committed and continued persecution under a Spanish-English treaty. Despite the plot failing and the country being largely protestant, the English still go wild on November 5th, burning effigies, setting off fireworks, and partying. While the number of Halloween celebrants is comparatively low in the UK with 2022 projections on total spending reaching only $817.51 million, some researchers predict that religious undertones for Guy Fawkes will lead to the holiday becoming absorbed within Halloween. Professor and author of Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, Nicholas Rogers, says that "In a more multicultural Britain, Guy Fawkes is a bit of an embarrassment. What you're doing is burning a Catholic on a bonfire, and that doesn't go down very well today." Thus, as Halloween grows in popularity in the UK, it's likely that specific ceremonies and practices that would've been celebrated on Guy Fawkes Night are absorbed into Halloween for one big, smorgasbord of an autumnal celebration. England Has Less Candy Corn If you find yourself in the UK in October, you're going to be hard pressed to find the Halloween treats you love the most, with candy corn being at the top of the list. According to one American transplant, candy corn just isn't as prevalent in the United Kingdom as it is stateside, which can be a devastating blow to those who're used to seeing bags of the sugary triangles lining store shelves come early September. The Candy Is Different Similarly, you won't find bowls full of Hershey products, but rather fun size versions of treats like Dairy Milk, Roses, Maltesers, and Buttons lining UK walkways, as the British favor a different variety of sweets and candies, produced by their own domestic brands. Dressing Up and Decorating Aren't as Common in England One of America's favorite parts of Halloween is dressing up - no matter your age. England and the United Kingdom have historically viewed dressing up as more suited for children, though that's beginning to change. Some Brits do enjoy putting on 'fancy dress,' but statistically, they're not spending anywhere close to the $3.32 billion that Americans spent on costumes in 2021. Additionally, the English don't take decorating nearly as seriously as Americans do. You wouldn't expect to find many 12-foot skeletons dominating the cobblestone streets of the average English village, but it's not impossible. As Americans think more is better when it comes to decorating, the English view decorating with a sort of tight-lipped austerity. The garish colors and scary scenes aren't as common in English gardens as they are in American suburbs. Carving Pumpkins Is Fun for Everyone According to the Guardian, there's an estimated 10 million pumpkins grown annually in the UK, and 95% of them are turned into jack-o'-lanterns. In contrast, the United States uses most of its 1.5 billion pounds of fresh pumpkin harvest for decorating on Halloween. When it comes to Halloween, it seems that everyone loves to have a knife in hand and a design in mind. Halloween Puts a Spell on the World Halloween may be picking up speed in Britain thanks in part to America's grip on western culture, but if you really want to experience Halloween at its purest, you've got to stick to the states. However, give it another decade, and England could be well on its way to rival America's obsession with October 31st.

I heard this phrase recently, and think it explains our attendance at church very well. Over the years, I've heard many people comment as to why they have left churches. We should reject those churches whose doctrines don't align with God at all. However, churches that do try to follow God still have some revolving door congregants. Dad taught me that if your heart is right, there is something you can take away and use in your spiritual life in (almost) every church. The trouble comes when, for the sake of a couple of dishes we don't like, we end up rejecting the entire buffet. We don't agree with a couple of things, so we leave the church. With a food buffet, we would never leave the restaurant simply because of a few foods we don't like. There will always be something we don't personally agree with, whether it's the sermon style, the songs, the way people dress, the greetings at the door, or the callings for tithes and free-will offerings. Churches are a lot like families. Put five families together for a day, and they'll have fun. However, put them together for longer than that, and each family's customs will emerge. Put families together for two months, and some of them won't speak to each other for the rest of their lives. Your family has its habits, teachings, things members like and don't like, and things you put up with. Other families will have their practices, but they'll be different. There will be several things they do so differently they may even eventually get on your nerves. In those two months, the first week will be pleasant, but then there will be fights over the bathroom, arguments in the kitchen, infuriations over car spaces, washing machine time, chores, and even quarrels about the way we conduct our family devotions and prayer. Churches also have different ways they do things. Until the Lord comes back, this is the way it is. If we are impulsive, we'll find something wrong. Maybe we won't like how the preacher delivers his sermon or the fact that he wears jeans and a tee-shirt. I recall a bloke from many years ago, who only attended church very infrequently. I have no idea why he came to church at all. He'd purposefully sit in the back pew, almost like a judge considering his verdict. When he left, all he would do was smear the pastor, the music, people who forgot to greet him, and just about everything else. Finding something wrong with a church is the easiest of jobs. While there are humans, we will always be able to find fault. We don't become perfect just because we hold a position in a church. Yet, there are a lot of things right with churches if we have the right motive. The things that annoy us will be the minor stuff, the stuff we can put up with if we've come for the Word of God. Jesus instructed us to get on with people. He said to love others as we love ourselves. Loving others is part of the cornerstone of the church (Matthew 22:36–40). In saying that, Jesus doesn't expect us to overlook major doctrinal issues to attend church. Neither should we. But we are called to overlook the minor irritations for the sake of God's peace within the congregation. If Jesus can wash feet, surely we can humble ourselves enough to dispense with our little annoyances. Today's prayer: Dear Lord, I've been guilty of smearing now and then just because I didn't like some things within a church. People aren't perfect, and sometimes I've expected them to be. Please help me overlook the more minor things to be enriched by what you are trying to show me in your Word. Photo by Christian Chen

Last year I wrote a Why I’m Awesome list. Of course, this still applies. The year before I made a list of resolutions that I really could and would do. This year, I going to look back fondly on 2015 and then move into what I resolve for 2016, here goes. All in all, 2015 was a pretty darn good year: - I got a new puppy last January, Bailey is now a year old and is as cute and as loving as ever. - I got a new Nephew! His name is Kaden (pictured here – yes, totally cute!), he is the son of my brother, Kurt. I am absolutely, without a doubt, wild for Kaden and am quite sure that I am his most favorite Aunt, if not relative. - I moved. I forgot how much fun moving is. It is just really a blast. But so worth it, love the new house and new location! My new house is closer to the grandkids and . . . Starbucks. - I live in a house of potential. There are boxes and boxes of potential lying about. I just know in my heart of hearts, these boxes will one day blossom into a fully decorated home. - I (the Visionary), and my husband, Rick (the Carpenter and back and forth runner to the home improvement store – which is closer now that we’ve moved), have begun construction on my Dream Closet. It will rival none other. Move over Imelda. - I got to live on an island. Okay, so this is not the best of news; our area received record rainfall in December, which resulted in floods for many folks and area businesses. The highways that surround us were all closed for a time, leaving me to live to what was being called JeffCo Island. So though it was an “island,” it was not exactly paradise. And now onto 2016! This year I resolve to: - Continue my quest for fabulous shoes – and continue to look fabulous while wearing them. - Continue to have fun with my grandchildren, whenever possible. - Continue watching my most favorite TV shows and therefore continue my reign as Queen of the Couch Potatoes (you should see the tiara for this one). - Continue to be besties with all my hotel friends. - Continue to go above and beyond for all my clients. - Continue to entertain you and inform you with awesome blogs. And one more thing; I will continue to look for that darn Resolution Jar. Last year I resolved to fill it with notes about all the good things that happened for me during 2015. I just know that jar is in a box, somewhere . . . Happy 2016 Meeting Planners!

New Relic, Inc. (NYSE: NEWR), the industry's largest and most comprehensive cloud-based observability platform built to help customers create more perfect software, announced today that it has received FedRAMP authorization at a moderate impact level. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. In achieving this authorization, New Relic has joined an elite group of technology leaders that allow the public sector and other regulated industries to rapidly adapt SaaS solutions for mission-enabling, secure, and cost-effective cloud-based IT. Public sector organizations turn to New Relic for visibility into their most critical technical efforts, including driving digital citizen experience, cloud migration and optimization, and enabling DevOps practices with data-driven insights. These initiatives are pervasive for public sector organizations that are looking to modernize; according to a global survey of IT decision makers conducted by New Relic in October 2019: - 76 percent of public sector organizations said they are migrating to the cloud; - Over 60 percent cited that they’re digitizing customer-facing processes; and - More than 50 percent are adopting DevOps practices as IT leaders believe that DevOps plays “an important and central role” in their digital transformation efforts. As public sector organizations transform their technology stacks, the need for a highly secure and compliant observability platform grows stronger: teams need to measure the ROI of their transformation initiatives, as well as understand how their systems are performing across multiple agencies at all times. “As agencies tackle modernization initiatives, we are thrilled to receive FedRAMP authorization and bring public sector organizations the power of New Relic’s Observability Platform. Whether improving digital citizen experience, minimizing costs and risks associated with adopting the cloud, or adopting DevOps practices, teams need to be able to get real-time insight, and we are excited to help fuel these initiatives,” said Bob Withers, senior director of public sector at New Relic. “New Relic’s platform fits squarely into Oteemo’s mission as an enterprise DevOps and cloud-native transformation consultancy as it helps us to provide our customers with unprecedented visibility into their technology, to make data-driven decisions, move fast in the cloud, and ultimately drive business success,” said Raja Gudepu, founder and CEO at Oteemo. “By New Relic achieving FedRAMP, our government customers can be comfortable that their data is secure and they no longer have to take on the added risk of doing their own security validations.” "As a former program executive officer for enterprise information systems at the US Army, I know that security is a top concern of government technology teams. New Relic's FedRAMP certification enables widespread adoption of secure system performance visibility in the public sector so that enhanced digital experiences and increased performance can be delivered to federal government users,” said Gary Winkler, president at American Cyber, Inc., and former US Army program executive officer. “As New Relic’s public sector distributor, Carahsoft is pleased to see New Relic achieve this important milestone in the FedRAMP authorization process,” said Craig P. Abod, president at Carahsoft. “Our company is committed to securing agencies’ migrations to the cloud, and we look forward to working with New Relic and our reseller partners to build on the momentum of this authorization and to optimize cloud migrations across the government.” New Relic Drives Success for Public Sector Digital Initiatives New Relic currently supports cloud and digital initiatives for government agencies, public sector organizations, and contractors for large programs like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)'s medicaid.gov and Healthcare.gov platforms. The New Relic Observability Platform is currently available through Carahsoft Technology Corp.’s General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule No. GS-35F-0119Y, which is used by U.S. federal, state and local government agencies to streamline procurement of New Relic’s products. For more information on New Relic’s offerings for the public sector, visit https://newrelic.com/solutions/industry/public-sector. New Relic Continues Leadership in Security and Compliance for the Cloud In addition to this latest security certification, New Relic is a recipient of the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II certification and documents its security controls on the Cloud Security Alliance’s Security, Trust & Assurance Registry. New Relic's Observability Platform is also on the Department of Homeland Security's Continuous Diagnostic and Mitigation's (CDM) Approved Product List.

Naturalist interior design is the practice of incorporating organic materials into spaces, connecting the indoor to the outdoor space. While natural interior design encompasses using earthy materials, it has many variations. Your naturalist design can look modern, traditional, or rustic, depending on how you go about it and the type of furniture you use. Naturalist Interior Design, Explained Rather than an interior design style dictated by rules, natural interior design means using raw materials as much as possible. Naturalist elements appear in many styles, including Scandinavian, Scandifornian, Southwestern, Farmhouse, and Desert. Naturalist interior design dates back to when the first people built their homes using local supplies. Indigenous people and early settlers would craft houses out of logs or clay, depending on the area. After the start of the industrial revolution, builders used mass-manufactured materials and furnishings to construct homes, straying away from natural wood, stone, and clay. Today, many homeowners wish to return to the beauty and quality of raw materials, sparking an interest in nature-inspired interior design. Biophilic Interior Design vs. Naturalist Interior Design Biophilic interior design incorporates nature into a home, which falls under naturalistic interior design. Biophilic designs are often elaborate, dedicating entire rooms to plants, installing wall-length windows and skylights, and decorating with nature-inspired colors. How to Incorporate Natural Decor Into Your home If you want a biophilic or naturalistic interior design style, here’s the natural decor to incorporate into your home. Use Natural Materials for Furnishings, Finishes, and Accessories Rather than using manufactured or plastic materials, focus on organic items. These nature-inspired materials will connect the space with the outdoors and add texture to your room. Here are the top natural materials to bring into your home for sustainable interior design: - Wood or stone floors - Wood cabinets, tables, ceiling beams - Cotton, linen, and leather sofas - Stone countertops Add Lots of Plants There’s no bigger hallmark of natural decor than plants. While some people are fortunate to have grow rooms dedicated to plants, you don’t have to go that far. Start with some easy-to-grow greenery and add more as your skill levels increase. Maximize Natural Light House your windows with light-colored curtains and bamboo shades. When possible, keep your blinds open to let natural light flood your space. If you’re considering remodeling your home, add large windows or skylights to maximize natural light. Decorate Your Home with Earth Inspired Colors Use the color palette from your surrounding environment to decorate your house. Depending on where you live, these hues may change. For example, consider blues, whites, and grays if you live in a coastal home. If you live in the desert, sand, rust, and cactus green are excellent options. Hang Nature-Inspired Art Consider large nature prints. You can opt for photographs that encompass areas around you or feature beautiful scenes from many locations. Examples of Natural Interior Design A natural home decor style features a sustainable interior design and brings the outdoors in. Here are some examples of nature-inspired interior design. Modern Nature-Inspired Kitchen Nature-inspired designs can take on many styles, like this modern kitchen. The designer chose a wood cabinet, stone countertop, wood ceiling beams, and natural light. The building elements are sustainable and long-lasting. Sustainable Living Room Design The owners of this home chose natural resources for their living room design, including local birch wood floors, local granite for the fireplace, a reclaimed wood table, and a reclaimed mantle. They also opted for plants and lots of natural light for an earthy space. Modern Garden Bathroom The views in this garden bathroom highlight the landscaping outside and fill the room with natural light. The color palette is light and airy with stone accents. Decorating with Plants – Living Wall Decorating with plants is a primary strategy in naturalistic design. If you like elaborate decor, this living plant wall might suit you.

Date : 06 December 2009 07:00 Producer : Susan Purèn Presenter : Bongani Bingwa Show : Carte Blanche At 80 this lady is not yet ready to slow down. Still steady at the wheel, Dr Annique Theron often pops into the head office of the company she founded 40 years ago. The name Annique Theron has been synonymous with rooibos tea for more than forty years. She is widely credited for discovering the exceptional healing properties of the indigenous plant, and having made rooibos one of South Africa's most recognisable exports the world over. Suzette Ferreira: 'She remains the centre, the culture, the motivator...' Daughter Suzette Ferreira, is marketing director of the company founded by her mother's company. Suzette: 'The one big thing that I picked up is you've got to keep your mind going otherwise your body will stop. 'Bongani Bingwa (Carte Blanche presenter): 'Because she just doesn't stop does she?' Suzette: 'No, well, it is good or bad. We don't know... ja, it is hard to keep up with her.' Ernest du Toit., the CEO of her company, says a selfless motive brought her this success. Ernest du Toit: 'She never thought about this as a commercial enterprise. She was in the business of helping people, of saving lives, of changing and improving people's lives.' Dr Annique Theron: 'I was driven. That's the best I can describe it. I was absolutely driven.' But the journey has had its ups and downs. One of several books that flowed from her pen has been translated into Japanese and she's been honoured across the world. Dr Theron: 'The first one was when I was 60: 'Entrepreneur of the Year'. And then, of course, the two I received in Geneva.' Among the honours - 'Best Female Inventor' and for 'Discovering the Therapeutic Value of Rooibos'. Dr Theron: 'That was glory... that really was a wonderful thing to happen to me. I couldn't believe it. I was floating on air .' But ten years ago, Dr Theron was accused of illegally registering the name rooibos in America.It's something she denies emphatically. Dr Theron: 'A plant cannot be registered as a sole trademark in the country of origin, but in another country it can. Like rooibos doesn't grow in America so it was legal and acceptable to register it as a trademark.' Bongani: 'Growing up in what was then rural Northern Transvaal there was almost nothing that could have prepared Annique for the road that lay ahead except her insatiable curiosity and enquiring mind.' As a child she played with foxes, squirrels and steenbok, but later dreamt of becoming a medical doctor. One day the determined teenager asked her teacher what subjects she needed for medical studies. Dr Theron: 'And you know Bongani, he looked at me as if I was an alien from another planet. And later on I realised it was because girls didn't pursue medical careers. You know there were so few, if there were there were so few, and here I wanted to know... That was a goal I actually set for myself.' Bongani: 'And did you achieve that goal?' Dr Theron: 'Yes, but 60 years later.' That happened at the age of 72, and the doctorate wasn't just bestowed on her. This hefty thesis was the result of over 30 years of research. But if that wasn't enough, she spent the next eight years writing her autobiography, which was launched in time for her birthday in April. Bongani: 'From its humble beginnings as a foul smelling brew first introduced to the Dutch by the Khoi Khoi at the Cape, rooibos tea has made its transition to be the drink of choice served in homes, in restaurants, and even amongst royalty.' Dr Theron: 'Today I call it an aroma, Bongani, because I have elevated it from what it was at that time to what it is today.' Rooibos grows only in a small area in the Cederberg region of the Western Cape and the herbal beverage is manufactured from the plant's needle-like leaves and stems. The modern day hype around the brew began in 1968 by what can only be described as a twist of fate. Annique's youngest daughter, Lorinda, suffered from colic as a baby. Dr Theron: 'She cried from the third day. And right through her next 14 months we had a terrible time with her.' One morning, to warm up the baby's milk, an increasingly desperate Annique added some rooibos to Lorinda's bottle. Dr Theron: 'Bongani, it was the first time in her life she slept longer than half-an-hour. I was up and down in the hallway, listening to see if she was still breathing... and after three hours - three hours! - she woke up and I was so relieved. But my life went on...' Bongani: 'It took you a while to see what had happened?' Dr Theron: 'Yes, I had to find out what I had done out of rhythm so to speak that could have brought on this wonderful positive result. And I came to the tea that Monday morning... the only time I'd given it to her. And I said to myself, 'That couldn't be.' After about six weeks I realised that I'd stumbled onto something miraculous and I started telling everybody.' Just as excited was the Rooibos Tea Control Board. Dr Theron: 'They wanted to know whether they could use if for promotions for their product and what they would have to pay me. So I thought to myself, 'The moment they pay me I lose it,' and I decided to do it myself.' And she did. Over the next few years she received a stream of pictures and letters from grateful mothers, whose allergic babies were helped by rooibos during those early days. Her late husband, Meiring, provided most of the funding for Annique's work. Dr Theron: 'My husband sponsored me because you know it was manageable in the beginning.' But not for long. What Annique needed was something she could sell and she found it in a slimming product. That led to a series of weight loss competitions in national magazines and newspapers, which cast Annique the entrepreneur and her rooibos remedies in the spotlight. It was a marketing success, especially as one of the winners happened to be Deirdre Barnard, the daughter of famous heart surgeon, Dr Chris Barnard. By 1976, a unique rooibos skincare range had been launched and Annique's ever-youthful complexion became the face of the products. Dr Theron: 'I had to learn everything about skincare, Bongani, because it doesn't fall into your lap.' Bongani: 'Not everyone who invents something or stumbles upon a discovery is able to take it to the next level where it becomes a successful enterprise. It takes a unique combination of skills, vision and tenacity.' Today, a business that began in a garage in 1968 has a turnover of more than a R150-million a year, and it's still one hundred percent family-owned. 12 000 distributors sell more than 300 products in the range, which is also exported. Last year the top distributor's turnover was around R60-million. Bongani: 'Did rooibos discover her or did she discover rooibos?' Ernst: 'You know, that is a wonderful philosophical question. At the end of the day I believe that everything happens exactly the way that it should. And if Dr Theron didn't discover rooibos , rooibos would have discovered her because she had a purpose to fulfil, she had a role to play, there were people who were waiting for this to impact their lives. So I believe that it was a mutual two-way street. They would have found each other somewhere along the line.' Dr Theron: 'Bongani, I regard my discovery as my gift to the world.' But, despite all the recognition she's received Dr Theron wants to be remembered most of all for bringing happiness to people's lives. Dr Theron: 'It was a long but delightful journey. And I'm so happy that I could've been the instrument to have achieved that... as far as rooibos is concerned.' Bongani: 'Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently on this journey?' Dr Theron: 'I would never change what has been given to me so generously and so benevolently.' Bongani: 'Any regrets?'Dr Theron: ' No regrets either.'

Kailash Kher speaks to us about hardships, self-belief, living a life less ordinary and lending his voice for the upcoming UP elections. “Hello sir, are you there?” asked the official — who had called to inform artist Kailash Kher that he would be receiving the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award — after he received no reply for a while. The singer, quite naturally, had gone speechless. Speaking to us post that, Kailash tells us, “Meri toh bolti hi band ho gayi thi tab. It was an overwhelming moment for me. I later regained my composure and thanked the Government of India for bestowing me with such an honour. I would like to thank my parents, seniors and colleagues from the fraternity and all my well-wishers and fans for their relentless love and support.” Kher, who hails from Meerut, shifted to Mayur Vihar in Delhi at a very young age and was about 30 years old when he decided to shift to Mumbai to pursue a career in music. Recalling those days, the musician shares, “My struggles in Mumbai were primarily about making a career, whereas, in Delhi, I genuinely struggled with my everyday life. My family was not very supportive of my decision of choosing music as a profession, and my parents never saw how music could help me earn a steady income. And what happens when you don’t have much support (from your family) is your life begins to be plagued by self-doubt.” He continues, “But it was my conviction and sheer self-belief that kept me going. I left for Mumbai with a do-or-die spirit. I didn’t believe in Bollywood music, which in my view, could be easily bought and sold like raddi. I was self-trained and believed in my music, which was academic, spiritual and Sufi in nature. Also, I was both writing lyrics and composing songs. I strongly believed that my music was not just for entertainment but had a greater purpose. Music means life to me and my journey has been that of a tapaswi.” Talking about accolades and awards, the Allah ke Bande singer says, “It’s a miracle where I have reached today. I believe all this happened because of all the blessings I received over the years. Accolades and awards poured in from smaller forums at the beginning of my career, then I started getting them at award nights and then honours from several state governments followed. Today, it is a moment of pride as I will be receiving a national level award. To think that I have achieved all this in a mere 11-12 years of career span feels amazing.” The voice behind several chartbusters isn’t taking many Bollywood project as of now: “I am lending my voice to many songs meant for different social causes. And most of them, I have sung for free. For the upcoming UP elections, I was approached by all the major political parties. I am taking up these projects; some for emotional reasons and some for professional purposes.” How does he keep himself relevant in this competitive world? He replies, “For me, competition in a field means nothing as I take my whole life as a long battle. Every soul is unique and my destiny is very different from everyone else’s.” He concludes, “What this honour has done is it has entrusted me with the faith that I need to live my life in a way that it becomes an example for others to follow — a life that can inspire many.”

If you’re looking for a fun and easy day trip from Newport this summer, don’t miss the quaint and charming towns of Tiverton and Little Compton. About a 30-45 minute drive from Newport, over the Sakonnet River Bridge, Tiverton and Little Compton provide a wonderful escape from the crowded streets of downtown Newport. What To Do In Tiverton/Little Compton Groundswell Cafe + Bakery With a touch of Parisian flair right in historic Tiverton Four Corners, you’ll love the menu offerings, ambience, and the well-stocked home store across the street. Try their insanely tasty baked goods (the croissants are fantastic), breakfast sandwiches, fresh-made salads, and sandwiches—it’s hard to make a wrong choice here. It’s an ideal spot for breakfast and lunch. Gray’s Ice Cream There’s nothing like a homemade ice cream cone and Gray’s Ice Cream is open year-round. Featuring a ton of classic and seasonal flavors, all of the ice cream is homemade. The grassy area off the parking lot offers a nice scenic spot to enjoy your cup or cone before you head home. Walker’s Roadside Farm Stand Open seasonally, there’s no better place to pick up the freshest fruits and veggies for dinner. The hard part is making sure you don’t overcommit because everything looks so good! Stocked with a sampling of artisanal food items too, you’ll have everything you need to whip up something tasty. The drive out to Fogland is half the fun! Pass rolling fields and pretty views, the beach itself feels like a little bit of a hideaway. Small and intimate, one side is lined with beach grass covered dunes and beach roses. Come for the stunning sunset views, but stay for the classic New England offerings. The Boat House has tasty cocktails, fresh raw bar, and plenty of seafood and American-style main dishes on the menu. A comfortable atmosphere and attentive service means it’s usually busy, so make a reservation ahead of time. Another hidden gem, you’d never expect to find exquisite French cuisine tucked in this tiny spot in Tiverton. But seriously, we’re not exaggerating when we say that these menu offerings are on par with what you’d get in Paris. Steak frites, croque monsieur, French onion soup, and so much more—you have to make a stop while you’re here. They are open seasonally, so check their hours before you come. The Bayside Restaurant A little further out than Little Compton, this family-owned restaurant is in Westport, MA. Serving up all of your favorite seafood dishes like chowder, calamari, cod cakes, and more, it feels very classic New England but thanks to its size, the menu offerings are great if you’re undecided on what you want for dinner. There are plenty of creative options! Dundery Brook Trail If you’re looking for an easy and relatively quick hike this might be the perfect trail for you. Less crowded than some of the touristy spots down in Newport, you can enjoy more space and a calmer vibe here. Plus, a large portion is a boardwalk trail. Peter’s Attic is a fabulous multi-level antique store filled with old furniture, farm tables, vintage clothing, and more. It shares a space with Patina Studio.

Even within a career as a chef, you can specialize in a niche, such as vegan cuisine, a particular type of ethnic food, comfort food, or even cooking on food trucks. There are a lot of options, and a good place to start is with a general culinary degree or certificate. Chefs will generally hold higher-ranking positions in a kitchen. In addition, a restaurant usually has management chefs and specialized chefs. Each type of chef can cover a variety of different tasks, from organizing and training to developing menus and creating recipes. Becoming a chef requires years of education and experience, from entry-level positions to the ultimate goal of executive chef. In general, there is no hierarchy among specialized chefs. Each of them is an expert in their specific field. Chefs usually hold entry-level positions in a kitchen and are trained by specialized chefs. They are more likely to cook according to the recipes given to them and to flow between different cooking positions as needed. A line cook usually gains experience in the position. They will learn different cooking styles from the hands of chefs specialized in cooking. However, smaller establishments may have a head chef or a person who combines multiple functions. In some cases, that person could simply be the owner. Executive chef and head chef are often used interchangeably, but not always. When a restaurant has both, the functions vary quite a bit. The head chef, or chef de cuisine, is among the sub-chefs and the executive chefs in the kitchen hierarchy. When a kitchen has a head chef, that person usually alternates between the kitchen line and management; like the executive chef, the head chef helps develop the menu items, directs the kitchen staff and may or may not get behind the line from time to time. Like a kitchen assistant, a kitchen assistant is in an excellent position to move up the ranks to become a subchef or head chef. A line cook, or assistant chef, is usually an entry-level position in a kitchen. This person cooperates with other cooks to prepare dishes for an independent restaurant, a hotel restaurant, or a virtual restaurant. A line cook can work hard and get promoted, and eventually achieve the title of subchef or executive chef. They work under the orders of the subchef or executive chef to ensure that all food prepared and placed outside their station has the highest level of quality and appearance. Many chefs attend culinary school to master their craft and prepare to work in the hospitality industry. They rank second after the sub-chef and third or fourth in the ranking, depending on whether there is a head chef and an executive chef. Specifically, this chef runs the fryer, while other chefs will take care of the things that need to be fried in the pan. Similarly, the number of folds on the hat shows how many culinary skills and techniques the chef has mastered. The difference between a chef and a cook is that a chef assumes a more managerial role with his responsibilities. In managerial chef positions, there is an established hierarchy because these chefs have the most responsibility in the kitchen to ensure the overall success of the restaurant. The chef in charge of the fish and seafood part of a restaurant or hotel menu is known as a poissonnier or fish chef. These chefs work with station chefs as apprentices or apprentices to expand their skills in the kitchen. Anyone who wants to become a subchef or redman one day will probably do the rounds as a kitchen assistant to better understand all areas of the kitchen and the cooking line. However, since the executive chef oversees the entire kitchen, the subchef will direct the cooking line and perform other comprehensive kitchen tasks in his absence...

March 15, 2017 The city of Philadelphia will hold firm on its sanctuary status in the wake of 248 arrests of "criminal aliens" in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware over the last two weeks. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced the arrests on Tuesday as similar operations continue in targeted locations across the country, backed by recent orders from the Trump administration to ramp up enforcement against undocumented immigrants. Philadelphia, which does not provide information to ICE to assist with such operations, has repeatedly argued that offering sanctuary to its residents is a matter of upholding the Fourth Amendment and maintaining a level of community trust that enables local officials to better fight crime when information is available. "Like ICE, we want to keep Philadelphians safe but we can't do that if we are asked to violate the constitution and if we are asked to destroy the trust our officers have built with communities," said Lauren Hitt, spokesperson for the Kenney administration, in a statement. "ICE continues to ask us to hold people without probable cause or without a warrant. Philadelphia and our justice partners pursue, aggressively prosecute and punish those that commit dangerous crimes and we'll continue to do that. But we expect ICE to uphold our Constitution and respect Philadelphia for doing the same." In a news release, ICE said that among those arrested in the operation, 120 or just under half had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. Another 50 were previously removed from the United States and re-entered illegally. In all, 197 people were arrested in Pennsylvania, 42 in West Virginia, eight in Delaware and one in New Jersey. “In the Philadelphia area, ICE arrested several at large criminal aliens in which the agency had issued detainers but the City of Philadelphia failed to honor them and released the individuals from custody — a situation that puts the public at unnecessary risk," ICE said in a statement. "ICE will continue to conduct targeted enforcement operations, whether local jurisdictions intend to cooperate with ICE or not.” The agency described recent operation as "routine," prompting some to question whether they are a continuation of existing policies or a change brought on by the Trump administration. Last month's directives from the White House urged ICE to broaden its scope to include individuals without criminal records, a departure from the guidelines followed under the Obama administration. ICE has called reports of checkpoints and sweeps "false, dangerous and irresponsible" sources of panic in communities, though the agency's policy of not disclosing its targeted operations has also played a factor in feeding uncertainty and fear. The majority of those arrested over the past two weeks are being held at the York and Pike County Prisons, where they face the prospect of deportation. Last month, immigrants cities across the United States orchestrated a walkout to show solidarity with undocumented workers who comprise a large part of the workforce in various industries.

Besides the classic on-site management of many successful companies (such as Google, Facebook and Twitter), where employee productivity is boosted by providing free buffet meals, gym access, child day care and free transportation to and from work, more and more companies nowadays are recognising the benefits and cost effectiveness of hiring remote workforce. Their number one argument is that the best perk of the job is not coming to the office at all! And for such firms, doing business this way allows them to cut costs, offer flexibility to employees and choose amongst the best workers, regardless of their location. While it may seem like a massive challenge to manage remote employees, it can actually be quite similar to overseeing an in-office staff. There are certainly challenges but it’s not an impossible mission. Here are some tips for leading remote teams successfully. Focus on productivity To create a successful remote workforce, the first step to take is to shift management priorities. From the usual focus on face time, attendance, friendly office atmosphere, and communication among workers, you need to concentrate on measuring their work productivity, goals and what they deliver. To achieve this, managers need to set clear and precise expectations and goals. Since remote work is, by definition, far less structured and temptations to avoid responsibility and slack off are big, the instructions and expectations need to be more defined. Each team member should have no doubt about what their tasks are, the expected timeline, general goals for a specified future period, go-to people, etc. Establish clear communication among employees Good communication is crucial in any kind of collaboration, while on a remote team, where chances of miscommunication magnify greatly, it is of the highest importance. In addition to regular check-ins and daily/weekly meetings, it’s imperative for remote workers to have a way to communicate amongst themselves and collaborate easily. Spontaneous conversations and casual chats are far from being a waste of time as they offer workers a time-out in their busy schedules. An account with Basecamp or HipChat can open a channel for sharing even personal and fun things. However, more than anything else, focusing on an effective collaboration solution should be a priority for any remote team. A professional team collaboration software will help the team to work together and be more productive since it can offer a more organised approach, direct comments under tasks, easy file upload, quick notifications using @name mentions and many other convenient options. Be on top of things Checking in regularly is crucial in a remote work environment. With staff stretched out throughout the country, it’s important to keep everyone in sync. By having regularly scheduled meetings, you’ll ensure everyone is always on the same page. It will aid with the goal of making sure your team has the most accurate, up-to-date information, and that they are on track with their work goals as well. In addition to company-wide meetings, it’s a good idea to check in with individual members of the team often. By taking the time to speak with employees on a one-on-one basis, you’ll know if there are any issues the employee is facing if their job needs to be fine-tuned, and be able to troubleshoot before a small problem becomes a big issue. With technological advances, there are plenty of methods of communication and it should not pose a problem in remote work conditions. It’s easy to miscommunicate when you’re not personally there, so make sure you use the right platform. For neutral exchange of information, e-mail is excellent while a chat is great for group conversations, informal talk, and general information. However, for long, detailed and potentially difficult conversations, you should turn to Skype or telephone. Build an atmosphere of trust and value Telecommuting employees thrive in any work environment when two of their most important needs are met. First, they need to feel as if they are valued and respected within their organization. Second, they excel when management invests in them to help in the trajectory of their career. Both of these needs can be accomplished by offering to coach for all employees as well as mentoring services. You’ll be investing in your employees and, in turn, they will be more invested in your organization and its success. Another important aspect of workers’ confidence is feeling that they can ask for help when needed. When managers focus on fixing problems and offering solutions to help workers be more efficient, the workers are more likely to reach out when they need assistance. By making use of these tips, employers can manage and create an environment that not only improves employee satisfaction but also increases productivity, attracts better talent and reduces costs—a win-win situation for workers and companies alike.

So, Breaky and I had talked about taking a vacation, just the two of us, not related to work for a while now. Something to do before we got serious about settling down and growing roots. We had initially talked about a Europe trip, but after this past year's election and global political climate, we figured we should probably stay local (meaning within the U.S.). Somehow, the fact that Breaky had never been to Chicago came up, and we figured it was a great opportunity to take a vacation that was unique, but close to home. So, we budgeted for about a half a year to save up for this trip. Asked our friends and family what we should see, where we should go, and now we are here! We woke up this morning, packed up the car, said goodbye to DogCPK, made sure the house and the dog were looked after, and "hit the road" so to speak. We live in Kalamazoo, which is almost exactly the halfway point between Detroit and Chicago, so naturally there is an Amtrack that runs through Kzoo to Chicago. I have taken my sister to the train station in Kalamazoo numerous times, and even have taken the train from Detroit to Chicago, but the over 10 years I have lived in Kalamazoo, I have not taken this train from Kzoo to Chicago. We headed to the train station, get settled, and of course, out comes the technology. Hey, it is a two hour train ride. I played a few games of Hearthstone, then booted up offline, Minecraft, in which I started to replicate our family's cabin. I haven't even gotten the entire area cleared out yet. It did help pass the time very well. I think Breaky was watching the coverage of Epicenter, the Dota tournament. Once we get to Chicago, we grabbed an Uber and headed to our hotel, The Essex Inn. What to say about our hotel... Our room is super small, but it doesn't have anything we don't need. Which really isn't saying much. We have a TV, and a bathroom, and a bed. We honestly got what we paid for, and it could have been worse. The view is spectacular, and it is in a great locations for things we knew we wanted to see, like the museums and Navy Pier, so again, it could be worse, but honestly, it could have been better. So we unpack our belongings and headed out to explore a little bit and grab some lunch. We asked the hotel concierge where a good place for lunch would be that is within walking distance and ended up at a place called the Burger Bar, where we had... you guessed it, burgers! Yeah, burgers and beer. Awesome way to start your vacay. :) Food was alright, in my opinion. I had a blue cheese burger, which had some crunchy black pepper that was just a little too much for me. But the truffle fries were alright, and the beer was cold. After lunch, we walked down to the museums with the intention of heading to Shedd Aquarium first, but the Jurassic World Exhibition caught Breaky's eye, so we headed to the Field Museum first. By the way, we made the decision to get a City Pass, which includes entry to many popular attractions and museums. Worth every penny. Definitely a huge savings. Anyway, back to the Field Museum. We obviously get the tickets to the Jurassic World, but as a part of the package deal, we also get tickets to a 25 minute 3D movie, which for us was Above the Earth, which is about a "birds' eye view" of the world. Because of how the timing ended up, we walked around the second floor of the museum for about 20 minutes or so, then headed to the movie. After the movie we headed to the Jurassic World exhibition. We were taken on a journey similar, or so I have been told, to the movie Jurassic World. We start on a boat with an introduction and then step into the "Gentle Giants" part, with realistic animatronic dinosaurs. Then we headed to the raptor area. It was...well, kinda cheesy. You can't tell from the pictures, but "Blue" the raptor was basically someone with a raptor suit on. Kind of disappointing. But not the worst. Then the T. Rex area. This was pretty cool. And here is Breaky with his favorite dinosaur, the Stegosaurus. We exited the exhibit, then headed back to the museum where we ran through the evolution exhibit, then through the Tattoo exhibit, and obviously saw Sue: Sue the T. Rex! Headed back to the hotel, where we kinda chilled, Breaky played some Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Wii U we took with us, and I played some more Hearthstone. Eventually we both gave up and ended up falling asleep while watching the Oklahoma vs Florida Softball National Championship. Keep in mind, this is around 5:00 or so in the afternoon. This is important to remember for later. We woke up from our much needed nap, headed downstairs and down the street to a bar that would have the Stanley Cup Playoff Game on T.V. We went to a bar called Louis' Bar. We had some appetizers, drinks and watched the Predators vs the Penguins. There were both Pittsburgh and Nashville fans at the bar, so that made it interesting when either would score. We headed outside after dinner after the first period where this very nice black and white pitt bull mix was with his very, very very talkative owner was. Capitan Jack Sparrow was his name. Totally worth standing in the chilly night listening to his owner just to meet this lovely pitty. 7-11 has cheaper bottled water than the hotel, so we swung by there to pick that up and maybe some additional adult libations. We watched the rest of the game, in which the Predators owned the Penguins (sorry Diva) and shared some Half-Baked Ben & Jerry's ice cream (totally the adult libation I was talking about...hahaha) Remember that National Championship game I was talking about? Yeah it is 10:41 pm here, and it is the top of the 16th inning and it is still tied and still going on. Those poor girls. So here is to a great first day of our vacation, and to many more!

My wife and I recently ran our first Tough Mudder Obstacle Course Races. We didn’t really know what to expect other than getting filthy dirty and having to complete some rather scary obstacles. We made it a point to arrive early to the venue so we could take in the entire atmosphere and really sear the memory into our minds, and we took note of quite a few unexpected revelations along the course. We were standing in the starting chute when the MC kindly asked everyone to turn and face the flag for the National Anthem. Why? Because, ‘Merica dammit! Immediately following the Anthem, we turned and took a knee to better hear his safety and “legal stuff” talk. He warned of the dangers of the course, reiterated “if you can’t swim, don’t go in the water”, and then got into some really good perspective lessons for the group. WE GET TO RUN The MC reminded us of the fact that we were the few who were doing something hard. We were getting out of our comfort zone. We were pushing limits. He further reminded us that while there is hate in the world, we get to run. While there are bullies and school shootings, we get to run. There is hatred and discourse, we get to run. We GET to run, while others have to run. First responders, firefighters, and military members may not always get a choice to run toward danger, but we GET to run. His reminders of the situation effectively shifted our perspective. We knew at that moment that we were choosing to do something great. For ourselves, for our fellow Mudders, and for our communities. We have the opportunity to inspire others and continue the conversation of helping each other rather than creating conflict. Before we ran our first steps of the course, my wife and I were already captivated by the holistic experience of the event. Making our way through the course was another fantastic mental exercise for both of us. My wife has never done anything of this sort, so she was apprehensive about our preparation. Before the first obstacle, she shattered one of her mental limitations by jogging the entire way. The .8 miles to the first obstacle was the farthest she had run without stopping in years. Win #1. She had also worked herself into a frenzy about jumping into the ice plunge, but the second obstacle had us fully submerged in freezing cold water due to the ambient temperatures. In that moment she figured out that the ice bath wouldn’t be that bad after all and was able to shift her mindset to “I will” instead of “I can’t”. At the end of the course, there were two obstacles she was convinced she couldn’t get over. She was not confident in her abilities. I assured her she was capable, and I reminded her of the power of teamwork. I went to the top of the first obstacle ahead of her, grabbed a fellow runner, and motioned for my wife to take a running start and aim for my hand. She did her best and it was just enough for me and the other guy to grab her wrists and muscle her over the wall. Standing atop the wall, she beamed with confidence. Several high-fives later we climbed down the backside and completed the course. BE A CHAMPION The lessons we re-learned in those couple of hours on the course were great reminders of how capable a person is when they open up to possibilities. Do not defeat yourself before the event. Take it step-by-step, rely on teamwork as needed, and always give 100%. Saying “I can’t” is a defeatist mentality. Everyone should strive to move away from “I can’t” and go straight to “I can” and “I will”. “I will” is a champion’s mentality. It is a blend of confidence, desire, and effort. Sitting in a restaurant replenishing our spent calories after the race, I looked my wife in the eyes and told her ”You are a champion”. Stop saying “I can’t”. Replace that losing language with “I will”. Focus on step-by-step improvements. A little bit every day helps. Win. Be a champion.

Electric Dog Fence | Electronic Fencing & Collars Do you need to contain your dogs within a fixed area around your property? Then we have the ideal solution: The PAC Electronic Fence System This system is highly reliable; can encompass any shape of garden or estate, at very low cost;and can be hidden from view. The PAC Electronic Fence system is ideal where you wish to contain one or more dogs without needing an ugly and obtrusive boundary fence. Each dog that needs to be contained wears an active electronic collar unit. Whenever the dog is nears the boundary his collar is designed to respond to a low strength radio signal. The boundary itself comprises an inexpensive, PVC-coated loop-wire. No-Go areas within the boundary – such as swimming pools, flower beds andchild-play-areas may be selectively excluded within the containment area, by using a simple, wire twisting technique, locally to nullify the radio signals. This kit includes everything you need for one dog. If you want this kit for two dogs please add an extra fence collar to the basket before checkout. Continuous and Automatic Surveillance PAC’s Electronic Fence effectively gives continuous (24/7), automatic and unattended surveillance. Whenever a dog moves into the Active Zone (set by the user, normally to 1-2 metres from the wire), his collar receives a radio signal. The collar then emits audible, warning bleeps, and if he does not withdraw within two seconds, the system ‘ramps-up’ to administer corrective electrical stimuli. The longer the dog is within the active zone; and the closer his proximity to the wire; the greater the intensity of the deterrent stimulation. Thus, the dog self-elects to approach the boundary; andif he runs at it, the system activates immediately. Any number of dogs(each wearing a collar) can be contained. The electronic Control Unit, which needs to be installed undercover,generates radio signals for the loop-wire. It also incorporates monitoring and adjustment of the Active Zone size (i.e. distance from the wire); stand by batteries to keep the system running in the event of a mains power-failure; anda timer-controlled socket, into which a collar may simply be plugged when ever it needs recharging. Electronic Collar Unit The collar unit is a rechargeable waterproof unit that contacts with the dog via two stainless steel probes. Each collar can give up to 2-4 weeks of operation ( up to 3 months in standby mode). An LED on the collar indicates battery charge status. The notional maximum length of the standard ( 1.5 mm2),low cost, multi-cored, PVC covered cable is 1500m, but heavier gauge (2.5 mm2 ) loop-wire may be used for much longer boundaries. Suitable wire can be purchased from PAC or from most electrical wholesalers. The two tails of the loop connect to the Control Unit. - F200A PACFence features and specifications For over 5 acres area, please add the PAC containment system with Boosted Transmitter add-on to your purchase. · Surround and enclose all or part of your garden, paddock or estate, andgive your dog freedom to roam within it. · Continuous and automatic surveillance (24/7) · Stimulus intensity on the collar increases automatically undermicro-processor control. · Digital Signal Processing for complete immunity to outside radio interference · Waterproof durable housing for collar electronics · Transient voltage suppressor protects against 95% of local, adjacentlightning strikes · Open circuit warning alarm · Easy to install with a step-by-step guide List of Contents F200A Control Unit Electronic Collar (Probes Already Fitted) With Strap Power Supply for Control Unit Charging Unit for Collar Spare Probe Kit 2 Screws for mounting control unit (Supplied with Rawl Plugs) This Kit does not include wire.

Prepare to be amazed and astounded, for Australia and New Zealand are two cruise destinations that are quite unlike any other. Where Australia takes the crown as the flattest land mass on our planet, New Zealand is extremely mountainous. Australia is a dry, desert country, and by contrast, New Zealand is a lush, veritable garden. Australia’s land features are best characterized as gentle and regular, with sloping plains and, with the exception of Sydney Harbour, a smooth coastline with few inlets or bays. New Zealand’s shoreline is deeply incised with steep fjords, and in contrast with its neighbour’s flat plains and deserts, its terrain tends to be rugged and precipitous, punctuated by permanent glaciers and white-water rivers. New Zealand’s wintry alpine heights could ring true of Alaska or the Arctic. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, its most famous natural treasure, is built from the same Pacific hard corals as the reefs surrounding the islands of Hawaii. For variation, these two sisters provide plenty. Cruises to Australia & New Zealand introduce passengers to the scenic beauty of the land Down Under – the beauty that enraptured explorers centuries ago. Auckland sits on the narrow peninsula that runs between the sparkling waters of Manukau and Waitemata Harbours. Step ashore to explore a lush, leafy urban cityscape, filled with beautiful parks and renowned art galleries. Surrounded by beautiful beaches, winding hiking trails and a whole host of things to do, Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and most diverse city. Sample the outstanding food and wine and explore the scenery, all whilst cloaked in warmth from the sumptuously sunny climate – New Zealand cruises offer you the chance to taste it all. If you love beaches, you’ll find many of the world’s finest right here, graced with perfect white sand and crystal-clear water. As you’d expect, active outdoor pursuits are abound, so for the adventure-hungry, these islands are the perfect place to roam. Enjoy big-game fishing and hunt out Maori cultural artefacts – these islands are host to an abundance of rich heritage. Visit the 19th-century whaling port of Russell, where the waterfront promenade boasts endless historical reminders of its days as the country’s first colonial capital. Considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney offers just about everything you could wish for — from famous beaches and wineries, to stunning landmarks and world-class shopping. Cruising under Sydney Harbour Bridge will take your breath away, as you pass the iconic Opera House and drink in the unforgettable sights. Soak up the sun and the fun, on the busy Bondi Beach, then head back and experience Sydney by night, where you can immerse yourself in the rich cultural and artistic vibrancy. Melbourne is a glorious gateway, welcoming you in as you cruise the warm waters of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia’s captivating East Coast. Founded in the mid-19th century the city boasts Western heritage, primarily through the decadent Victorian architecture. The city is rife with lush gardens and scenic parks, and home to an inspiring collection of museums and beautifully-preserved colonial buildings. It’s also one of the world’s refined culinary capitals, offering a plethora of unrivalled dining experiences for those who appreciate their fine food and wine.

When builders apply for Professional Builder’s National Housing Quality Award they receive much more than the chance to win an award — they get a detailed feedback report from industry experts and consultants on their business operations and practices. To offer an idea of the value of the report, I’ve calculated the total time spent on its development. As many as four judges evaluate each application, and each judge spends up to six hours on each submittal to complete the scoring and provide comments. Following this initial review process is a two-hour conference call with the four judges to discuss their evaluations and establish a consensus score and list of OFIs (opportunity for improvement) and strengths. That’s 32 man-hours. Next, a one-hour meeting takes place between the entire 11-person NHQA judges panel to discuss each application (11 man-hours), followed by site visits to the applicants that qualify. Each site visit takes at least two days and includes four judges that each put in about 12 hours of work per day, totaling 96 man-hours. The lead judge completes the feedback report after the site visit (approximately six man-hours), and the reports are reviewed by NHQA leaders for accuracy (two man-hours per report). Finally, there’s judges’ conference call of approximately two man-hours to select the winners. By applying a conservative hourly consulting fee of $150, the total value for a company that does not qualify for a site visit is $7,950 (53 man-hours) and $22,350 for those with a site visit (149 man-hours). Depending on the number of homes you build each year, the application fee (which ranges from $750 to $2,000, depending on firm size) will provide a return of at least $7,950 and up to $22,350 in consulting value. So, with that sort of value, are you applying for the NHQA in 2011?

Have you been considering using a planner to help you with your productivity this year? There are many different planners on the market in all shapes and sizes and it can become quite confusing to decide on which one would be best for you. In this post, I will share a cheap but pretty and functional planner that has most of what you need to plan a successful day. The below items were purchased at Wal-Mart and all cost me under $10! MUST HAVE #1: Wire/Coil Binding- A planner with a binding system that will allow you to fold over the pages easily makes it convenient to work only on the pages that you are filling in. MUST HAVE #2: Year at a Glance– Keep track of dates and stay ahead of the game by referencing the year at a glance page. MUST HAVE #3: Holidays at a Glance (This is Optional)– This was a bonus in this particular planner but what I like about it is, you can reference these dates to plan for days off, content scheduling, gift purchasing, or just planning ahead. MUST HAVE #4: Monthly Overview- A section dedicated to setting goals, list making and recording important dates makes for a great guide to schedule important tasks in the following pages of dates. You could call this a “Brain Download” section. MUST HAVE #5: Month at a Glance- A dedicated section to download the happenings of the month is a planner must have. You can use this section to record bills due, important dates, meal plans, fitness schedules, etc. MUST HAVE #6: Daily/Weekly Planning Sheets- A definite must have is a section to plan your daily activities and important tasks. You can track goals, to dos, meals, fitness activity, appointments, etc using daily/weekly sheets. MUST HAVE #7: Notes Page- You can make a notes page serve various purposes. Jot down ideas, shopping lists, journal and even use the page as a vision board page. Notes pages also make a great space to recap your month’s happenings and reflections. MUST HAVE #9: A Good Pen- There are various pens on the market and you will have to find the one that makes your planning session functional and pleasing. Once you find the one you enjoy writing with, you will always want to have a safe place to store it. Keep it near your planner:) If your planner does not have a pen loop, you can purchase them on Amazon, Michaels or Hobby Lobby. The one above came with a kit from Wal-Mart for under $2. (**Optional**) MUST HAVE #10: Functional Stickers- Stickers can add an embellishing look to your planning pages. They can be used to highlight activities, days, and tasks. And, then again…they are just cute to look at. New at planning, start small and don’t go overboard with hoarding tons of sticker books. It may or may not be for you. MUST HAVE #11: Page Markers- One or two page markers will help you keep track of your most frequently used pages. You can use magnetic clips or paper clips to identify your pages to set them apart. These little cuties above came along with the kit from Wal-Mart. (**Optional**) MUST HAVE #12: Washi Tape- This is not really a must-have but can serve the same purpose as the stickers. It can add a cute element to your planning pages. These come in several colors and sizes. If you want to try decorating your pages for the first time, buy 1-2 rolls to get you started. It is good to have your set of supplies that inspires you to be consistent in planning your goals and important tasks. I hope that these must-have tips help you get started with your planning and productivity.

The Making of Martin OM-28V: A Behind-The-Scenes Look at its Manufacturing Process Martin guitars are known for their exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and rich sound. Since 1833, C.F. Martin & Company has been creating some of the world's finest acoustic guitars, and the Martin OM-28V is no exception. This particular model has a rich history and has been played by some of the most famous musicians of our time, including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Eric Clapton. The Martin OM-28V is a classic model that has been in production since the 1930s. It is a versatile guitar that is well-suited for both fingerpicking and strumming, and its sound is both warm and clear. The guitar is constructed with the finest materials, and the manufacturing process involves a combination of handcraftsmanship and advanced technology. This guide will take a closer look at the making of the Martin OM-28V and the different elements that contribute to its superior sound and overall quality. Wood Selection and Preparation The Martin OM-28V is a high-end acoustic guitar known for its superior craftsmanship and exceptional sound quality. The selection and preparation of the wood used in the guitar are integral to its overall quality. Martin guitars are made with high-quality woods that have been carefully selected and aged to achieve the desired sound and stability. The wood selection process for the Martin OM-28V begins with the back and sides of the guitar. The wood is carefully chosen based on its appearance, grain patterns, and acoustic properties. The back and sides are typically made of Indian rosewood, which is known for its rich, warm tone and strong projection. Other woods such as mahogany and maple can also be used depending on the desired sound and aesthetics. The top of the guitar is made of Sitka spruce, a highly sought-after wood for acoustic guitars due to its balanced tone and strong projection. The neck of the Martin OM-28V is made of mahogany or Spanish cedar, which provides stability and durability while also contributing to the guitar's overall tone. After the wood is selected, it undergoes a rigorous preparation process. The wood is carefully seasoned and aged to ensure it is stable and has reached its full tonal potential. The wood is then cut and shaped into the various components of the guitar, including the back, sides, top, and neck. The wood used in the Martin OM-28V is highly regarded for its quality and tonal properties. The selection and preparation process ensures that the guitar has a consistent tone and excellent playability. It is important to understand the wood selection process when evaluating and purchasing the Martin OM-28V to appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into its creation. Bracing and Assembly The bracing and assembly process of the Martin OM-28V guitar is a critical step in creating a guitar that delivers a balanced and resonant sound. The bracing of the guitar top plays a significant role in determining the guitar's tone and response. The Martin OM-28V features a scalloped X-bracing pattern, which is a standard feature in most Martin guitars. During the bracing process, the braces are carefully placed and shaped to provide the necessary support and stability to the guitar top while allowing it to vibrate freely. This allows the guitar to produce a balanced and rich tone with excellent projection and sustain. The bracing pattern used in the Martin OM-28V is designed to allow the guitar to respond well to both fingerpicking and flatpicking styles. The scalloped bracing pattern is carefully shaped to allow the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in a guitar that is both responsive and tonally complex. The assembly process of the Martin OM-28V is carried out by skilled craftsmen who carefully fit the components together to create a guitar that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. The neck is carefully fit into the body, and the fingerboard is carefully installed, ensuring proper alignment and a comfortable playing experience. During the assembly process, the guitar's components are carefully inspected to ensure they meet Martin's high standards of quality and craftsmanship. This ensures that the final product is a guitar that is well-balanced, easy to play, and delivers a rich and resonant sound. Overall, the bracing and assembly process of the Martin OM-28V guitar is a crucial step in the creation of a guitar that delivers superior sound and playability. With its carefully scalloped bracing pattern and skilled assembly, the Martin OM-28V is a guitar that is both responsive and tonally complex. Finishing and Detailing After the wood selection and bracing process, the Martin OM-28V guitar moves on to the finishing and detailing phase of its manufacturing process. This is where the guitar starts to take shape and its beauty is brought to life. The finishing process begins with sanding the guitar's body, neck, and headstock. The sanding process is crucial in achieving a smooth and even surface. It's essential for the next steps in the finishing process, which involve applying the stain and finishing coat. The stain is applied by hand, and it's essential for bringing out the beauty of the wood grain. The type of stain used can significantly impact the guitar's final color and appearance. The Martin OM-28V comes with a vintage-toned finish, giving it an aged look. After the stain is applied, the guitar is coated with a protective finish to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. The finish is also applied by hand, in a process that involves multiple coats of lacquer. Each coat is sanded smooth before the next coat is applied. The final coat is buffed to a high gloss, bringing out the guitar's natural beauty. Once the finish has been applied, the guitar is sent to the detailing department, where the guitar is inspected for any blemishes, and the edges are hand-sanded to give the guitar a smooth feel. The frets are also inspected, and any rough edges are filed down to ensure smooth and comfortable playing. The next step is installing the hardware, such as the tuners, bridge, and pickguard. This is done carefully to ensure that the hardware is installed correctly, and that the guitar's intonation and playability are not compromised. Finally, the Martin OM-28V guitar is inspected and tested to ensure that it meets the strict quality standards set by the Martin company. Only after it has passed all the necessary tests, is the guitar given the Martin label and sent to the dealer. In summary, the finishing and detailing phase of the Martin OM-28V's manufacturing process is a crucial step that requires skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. It's in this phase where the guitar's beauty is brought to life and its protective finish is applied, ensuring that it will last for generations. Quality Control and Final Inspection After the Martin OM-28V has been assembled and finished, it undergoes a series of rigorous quality control tests to ensure that it meets Martin's strict standards for sound and playability. The quality control and final inspection process is one of the most important steps in the manufacturing process, as it helps to ensure the consistency and quality of each guitar that leaves the Martin factory. The first step in the quality control process is to test the sound of the guitar. A skilled technician will play the guitar to evaluate its tone, volume, and overall sound quality. The technician will also test the playability of the guitar, checking the action and fret work to ensure that the guitar is easy and comfortable to play. If any issues are identified during the sound and playability tests, the guitar will be sent back for further adjustments and fine-tuning. Once the sound and playability tests have been completed, the guitar undergoes a final inspection to check for any cosmetic defects or imperfections. A trained inspector carefully examines every detail of the guitar, from the finish to the inlay work, to ensure that it meets Martin's high standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail. If any issues are identified during the final inspection, the guitar will be sent back for further work and refinishing. Once the guitar has passed all of the quality control tests and inspections, it is ready for shipment to dealers and customers around the world. The quality control and final inspection process is a critical part of the manufacturing process for the Martin OM-28V, and it ensures that every guitar that leaves the Martin factory is of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Martin's commitment to quality control and attention to detail is what has made the company a leader in the guitar industry for over 180 years. Customization and Special Orders The Martin OM-28V acoustic guitar is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and attention to detail, and for some musicians, a standard model may not fit their exact needs or preferences. Fortunately, Martin's Custom Shop offers a variety of customization and special order options for the Martin OM-28V. One of the most popular customization options is the choice of wood. While the standard Martin OM-28V comes with Indian rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, customers can work with Martin's Custom Shop to choose alternative woods to suit their preferences. Some popular options include mahogany, koa, and maple. In addition to wood selection, customers can also choose the inlay design, hardware, and finish of their custom Martin OM-28V. For example, a customer may choose a unique inlay design on the fretboard or headstock, or they may opt for a different finish, such as a sunburst or vintage gloss. Martin's Custom Shop can also work with customers to create a completely personalized Martin OM-28V. This may include custom neck shape and dimensions, unique bracing patterns, or special ornamentation. It is important to understand the customization options when considering a Martin OM-28V purchase, as they can significantly impact the sound, playability, and aesthetics of the guitar. Working with Martin's Custom Shop can ensure that the guitar is tailored to the customer's specific needs and preferences. However, it is important to note that custom orders can come with a longer wait time and higher cost than a standard model. Customers should consider their budget and timeline when deciding whether to pursue a custom Martin OM-28V. In summary, the Martin OM-28V is a stunning acoustic guitar that can be further customized and personalized through Martin's Custom Shop. Whether a customer is looking for a different wood type, unique inlay design, or a completely personalized guitar, Martin's Custom Shop can work with them to create the perfect Martin OM-28V. It is important to consider the customization options and budget when deciding whether to pursue a custom model. In conclusion, the Martin OM-28V acoustic guitar is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The result is a guitar with exceptional sound quality, playability, and aesthetics.

As a motorcycle sunglasses and goggle supplier, I have learned so much over the many years from our dealers and from our individual customers. We sell to all segments of the motorcycle world. Some of those worlds are quite different from each other. The one common factor among the riders from each camp is that they all love to ride. They love the freedom, the wind, the adventure and the economy of their motorcycle (although some claim that they can be money pits!). In general, most riders also fully appreciate the solitary experience of the ride. Which brings us to the current situation. First and foremost, we must socially distance to protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable. Yes, Covid-19 has changed everything, including how and when people ride motorcycles. Even if you tend to avoid big rallies, crowds and biker bars prior to the Corona virus, you still may need to consider all the details before getting on a motorcycle. If you are in a county where shelter-in-place laws are strict, you will really need to pay attention to the restrictions on riding. I heard directly from someone stopped in San Diego County for riding and he was told to go home. Other counties are letting people know that riding a motorcycle at this time is not restricted. Other than social distancing and complying with various state and local laws, motorcycling is said to be safe for social distancing. I have been talking with some of the motorcycle dealerships. Some of them are closed completely for the time being while others are saying that they are doing a brisk business in the parts department. I guess that there are many people are working on their motorcycles as they shelter at home. What a great way to spend this unexpected time at home! People have reported all sorts of accomplishments while others have reported that their success has been maintaining a semblance of physical and mental health. I get that. That is a serious accomplishment in and of itself. However, you are spending your time, we wish you well. As I am writing this, I am picturing a remarkable increase in the number of very shiny, very clean and very well running motorcycles on the road in the summertime. The tone of my post has been positive and light. I understand that there many people who are compromised and living in fear of this virus. It is a very scary time and truly feels surreal. Most of us have not experienced this situation. Some older people remember the abject fear of polio and the absolute relief when the vaccine became available to all. To those who have suffered with the loss of family and friends, we wish you peace. To those fighting to recover from the virus, we wish you strength and a full recovery. To those suffering in a different way due to fear of financial devastation or strain, we hope the relief efforts, support from family and the passing of time will bring relief. In the meantime, be well and do all those little (healthy-ish) things that help you cope. The internet is full of those suggestions if you need them. For bikers or motorcyclists, if you prefer, that might mean those long-needed repairs or detailing. Or it could simply mean planning your next motorcycle excursion when time and the virus permits. Perhaps it could even mean contacting that person you hadn’t talked with in years. I think we are all look forward to better, more normal days, and until then, we will ride apart. Take good care, everyone!

A few weeks ago (okay, maybe it was months – time flies when you are home schooling…) I told you I would put this list together. Because sometimes we need a little help… and while I love what’s in The Respect Dare book, sometimes I need a list… a long list of very specific things that help me remember that I don’t want to look like this: You can see why I drive my engineer husband a little bonkers. And so today, I’m sharing the BIG LIST of things we can do – feel free to add some of your ideas at the end. And please know I mean NO offense with any of the language I use. “Let” does not mean to think of your husband as a child requiring your permission, but rather is a common word that can have a number of different meanings. Also know that I know your husband may be different than mine – these are just suggestions – there’s no formula here. At any rate, I’m daring you to comment, to share, to DO these things, to model them to your kids (even poorly until you can do this well) in an effort to obey God’s Word. John 14:23 says… Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. So yes… obey God. Even if you’re not “feeling it.” Even if your husband “doesn’t deserve it.” Guess what? Both you AND him are ALWAYS going to be sinners. SO dish some grace. Respect. Love. Obey God. And if you do, the Trinity will dwell within you. Which, btw, is stinkin’ awesome. And worth dying for. And then you’ll be contagious. So glad you are here. Here’s the LIST of 101 Ways to Respect Your Husband. Love to you,

Daylight Saving Time has come and gone, to the anger of most of the churched world. It meant waking up an hour earlier to get the service ready, show up in the pews or turn your alarm off to give up. Here’s how you expected it to impact your weekend services: 39% of you had total faith that your peers, congregants and friends would figure things out. They’d set their clocks accordingly and show up bright and early, ready to worship together. Another 31% expected some late-comers. Folk who don’t quite grasp the “spring ahead” and wake up only to freak out that their cell phone is an hour ahead of what they were expecting based on the night before. 27% expected the late-comers to be no-showers. They’d see they were late and give up on showing altogether. Or perhaps more accurately, they’d take advantage of a good excuse to say, “Oh! I accidentally overslept.” A small handful of you don’t do Sunday morning services, so it doesn’t matter to you. You gather some day of the week not affected by the time change or late enough on Sundays that everyone figured it out on their own accord. Oh, and a whopping 0 churches roll with it and change the time of their services. So what do you think, in hindsight, was your projection accurate? Did you experience an unexpected dip? Did others perform better than expected? Or do you have no idea because you were the guilty oversleeper? This week, let’s focus on Easter. Let us know, what’s your big marketing plan for Easter?

02 February 2012 17:02 [Source: ICIS news] NEW YORK (ICIS)--US-based Dow Chemical expects earnings momentum to pick up in the second half of 2012 on higher ethylene margins from low-cost ethane, as well as demand growth driven by inventory restocking, its CEO said on Thursday. “In the second half of 2012 and beyond, we see structurally long ethane as increases in fractionation and pipeline capacity surpass the rise in ethane demand,” said Andrew Liveris on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings conference call. He sees volatile pricing in ethane – the key feedstock for ethylene in the US – in the first half of 2012 as ethylene crackers undergo turnarounds. In the long run, Liveris said favourable shale gas dynamics and the company’s petrochemical expansions on the US Gulf coast will drive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) upside of around $2bn/year (€1.5bn) by 2017. Dow is in the process of selecting a site on the US Gulf coast – likely in Texas – for its new world-scale cracker, which is targeted for start-up in 2016–2017, said Liveris. The company will also restart its 390,000 tonne/year cracker in St Charles, Louisiana, by the end of 2012. On the demand side, Liveris expects volumes to “accelerate significantly” in the second quarter and into the back half of 2012. “The restocking effect will accelerate near-term demand growth,” said Liveris. He sees the US in gradual recovery mode, with the food packaging, transportation and energy industries showing signs of steady growth, but electronics and construction sectors lagging through the first quarter. Western Europe is expected to experience weak growth through the first half. But demand is expected to remain healthy in emerging markets, led by China, said the CEO. Dow is seeing polymers restocking in Asia, and price increases from high-cost naphtha in the region will benefit the company as well, said Liveris. “Demand is picking up, and was even picking up going into the [Lunar New Year] holidays,” he said. Earlier on Thursday, Dow posted underlying fourth-quarter earnings of $289m – down by 46% from the year-ago period, on 2% higher sales of $14.1bn. Volumes were flat excluding the impact of divestitures, while prices were up by 5% year on year. Earnings per share of $0.25 fell a nickel short of Wall Street estimates.

Viral insertion into critical genes has triggered lethal leukemias in several gene therapy recipients. Most cases of encephalitis result from viral infection, especially by a mosquito-borne virus. The fact that the video went viral only recently is a reminder of the staying power these sorts of stories have. Scientists say this could be a bad year for a rare but often fatal viral infection spread by rural rodents. The onslaught grew so large that it went viral-live. People share here, but they share betrayals and bodily fluids as if they were viral strains. Viral cases tend to occur in outbreaks, often in the summer and fall.

What appeared to be the symptoms of a typical viral illness did not spontaneously disappear. Another option is to use anti-viral drugs in the event of an outbreak. However, many anti-cancer and anti-viral drugs are toxic to marrow. Broadly speaking, the genes less active in the lonely were those involved in staving off viral infections. But evolution is ever resourceful, and in one case it has found a way to harness a viral gene for the host's benefit. Videos capturing pat-downs have gone viral, generating indignation.

In addition, it is now known that two-thirds of gray squirrels are silent carriers of a viral skin disease fatal to red squirrels. If the body is actively making antibodies, you could feasibly reduce the viral load to almost nothing. The new gimmick for turning attention to the upcoming holy days is all about launching a viral video. Now, after going viral online, the story also has gone mainstream. Making a film about a viral pandemic is never going to be a glamorous proposition. But doctors sometimes give antibiotics to patients who have what turns out to be a viral infection. If there is a low level of flu in the community, a school would be a logical site for an explosion of the viral population. The new trend in matrimony is a viral video-ready flash mob. It's usually the case that viral-video stardom is a poor indicator of real-world success.

Longtime readers know that I’m endlessly entertained by the bilaterally condescending friendship that sprang up between Edmund Wilson and Vladimir Nabokov in the mid-1900s. Reading Wilson’s Literary Essays and Reviews of the 1930s & 40s, I was amused to discover a review — dated September 9, 1944 — excoriating Nabokov’s puns. (The book under consideration is Nabokov’s study of Nikolai Gogol.) The reader is also annoyed by the frequent self-indulgence of the author in poses, perversities and vanities that sound as if he had brought them away from the St. Petersburg of the early nineteen-hundreds and piously preserved them in exile; and, along with them, a kind of snapping and snarling on principle at everything connected with the Russian Revolution that sometimes throws the baby out with the blood bath — to be guilty of a species of witticism to which Mr. Nabokov is much addicted and which tends, also, a little to disfigure his book. His puns are particularly awful. In writing English, he has not yet acquired the sense of how horribly “the government specter” and “Gogol’s spa’s were not really spatial” are calculated to grate on English-speaking readers. This appeared nearly four years after Wilson urged Nabokov, in a private letter complimenting a New Republic review: “do please refrain from puns, to which I see you have a slight propensity. They are pretty much excluded from serious journalism here.†For more Wilson/Nabokov correspondence, see Three responses to Lolita, and especially the (very public) Eugene Onegin exchanges (“I greatly regret,” writes Nabokov, “that Mr. Wilson did not consult me about his perplexities … instead of lurching into print in such a state of glossological disarray”).

Francisco Cordero pitched two scoreless innings to earn the win on the hill for the Reds. Barry Zito was tagged with the Giants loss, giving up the winning run in the 12th.

Jose Canseco’s Trying For a Reality TV Show: A Day with Jose I happened to come across a press release…needless to say it’s screaming for attention. Without further ado: A new television reality series starring Jose Canseco entitle, A DAY WITH JOSE, will begin production in Los Angeles at the end of April. Contestants will “pitch” their fantasy day ideas to a panel of judges, and 6 finalists will surprise Jose with their planned activities — and compete for the ultimate prize — Jose’s 40/40 DIAMOND RING! …. a pool of contestants, initially chosen from their on-line applications submitted to JoseCanseco.com, will appear before a panel of judges, and compete to become one of six finalists who will spend their fantasy day with Jose. They’ll surprise Jose at his Los Angeles home, explain their planned day of activities as approved by the judges, and have Jose to themselves for the entire day. …. At a later date, the six finalists will be re-assembled during one of Jose’s now famous Hollywood pool parties, and a winner will be selected. Jose is apparently scheduled to make a live announcement on Thursday, March 29th at 9:00am CT, and check this out — you can watch it live on www.bigdickhunter.net. No joke. Canseco invited this Richard Hunter character, who’s the host of a Dallas talk show called “Big Dick’s Wild Ass Circus,” to travel around and broadcast the show live. The pair have a long association, going back to 2003 when [Canseco] was under house arrest in Miami. As far as I can tell, the show hasn’t been picked up by any network, so don’t ask where you can go to watch it. Just know that Canseco’s trying to pick up his acting career where he left off in ’05 after appearing in six episodes of The Surreal Life. Crazy.

© Studio Canal Sex With Strangers It's Confirmed: Men Are More Likely To Have Sex With StrangersIt doesn’t take much to convince a man to have sex. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t take any convincing at all — just a hot woman, and even the hot part is optional. Scientists ran a study to prove that men will have sex with anything or anyone anywhere, and the results aren’t exactly groundbreaking. When a gorgeous female approached a random male on the street, a whopping 97% of men agreed to go back to her place right away for a drink, and 83% said yes to immediate sex. Apparently the thought of her being the Jigsaw Killer doesn’t seem to cross their minds. Interestingly enough, men are not as trusting to average-looking girls, though. When the grenade approached, only 80% of men agreed to go back to her place, while only 60% approved of instant sex. In contrast, not even 1% of women agreed to the same proposition when the tables were turned. While it’s not surprising, it’s a tad startling that such a high percentage of men will trust a stranger in an unknown place just because the prospect of sex is on the line.

Biggest character of last season's Survivor: Tocantins ? Benjamin Wade, no doubt. Never mind that J.T. won, in a finish that threw his close friendship with runner-up Stephen on the flames, and then some. Never mind that Sierra almost made a fool of herself, and somehow unwittingly catapulted Erinn to the final four. Never mind everything else. It was Coach who defined the season, with all the things he's said, and apparently done, and the way he seemed convinced that he's this and that. It's hard summarizing everything that he is in one introductory paragraph--or maybe it's me who wants to cram in every supposedly important detail. But a lot more happened after that, and now that Coach's no longer bound against CBS' provisions against interviews, well, he's been set loose. And man, I'm reading through the interview he did with local newspaper The News-Leader , and it's seriously, seriously long. Just what you'd expect. Survivor is available on Amazon Prime. A lot did happen to Coach after his stint on Survivor . For one, he got fired from his slot as the coach of the women's soccer team at the Southern Baptist University. There was, apparently, a semblance of controversy surrounding that, with Coach allegedly telling his team that he's seeking cancer treatment. "I did not tell the kids that I had cancer, but I wish I would've done it differently," he said. "I told them specificially: 'I'm going for testing. I'm going to be tested more than I've ever been tested in my life. I have to go. And pray that God shines through me while I'm gone.' ... I didn't realize that they were going to put two and two together. Right before I left [for Survivor ], I called ... and he was like, everybody here thinks you have cancer." He says that he did get permission from his higher-ups at SBU before leaving, after hesitating with the prospect of leaving his team midseason. He was also bound by the confidentiality clause that Survivor entails. But a miscommunication meant he inadvertently told the school's athletic director that he'll be out for a week--he did say he'll be out for more than a week, he claimed--but when he returned after two months, he ultimately was shown the door. "I was feeling major guilt at leaving my team, anyway," he said. "When I came back, it was a total you-know-what storm. And they needed to have somebody that was a scapegoat ... They actually did not fire me. They told me, 'we're not going to renew your contract.'" "I could've handled things better with my team," he added. "It was one of those areas where I thought I did the right thing, but it comes back when it's all said and done and you wish you would have done it differently ... When I came back, [my team] felt like I was dishonest, which I was ... I think I could've handled that better. I shouldn't have used the word being 'tested'. I was telling myself I was going to be tested beyond belief on Survivor . But it was the wrong choice of words ... I thought they were very gracious." SBU refused to comment on the statements made. Coach also had some gripes with the way he was portrayed on the show. "I got the worst edit possible," he said. "I had everybody from the cast calling me during the season ... They knew it was tough on me because they were, like, 'That's not you at all. You encouraged us every day. You helped us. You gave away your food.' That's why I lost so much weight out there, because I gave away all my food ... I thought they were going to show that part." In particular, he said many of the things he said were taken out of context during editing. "Brendan and I don't get along," he cited. "But the one tribal [council] where I talked to him about the leadership, and he was laughing, and they showed him laughing, he called me and was, like, 'Hey, just so you know, Dragon Slayer, just so you know, I actually wasn't laughing.'" "They would take instances ... when I would say to the group, 'Hey, you know what, Candace, you did a good job,'" he added. "Then, I was, like, 'Listen, man, we sucked ass today. The bottom line is, we lost. We've got to stop losing.' Instead of taking the encouragement, they would take that last thing out of context. If I were really that abrasive out there, then people would've talked about getting rid of me long before they did ... You didn't see all the positive things. You didn't see the noble things. It was very frustrating for me to sit there." "I will say that when I saw the final episode of myself on exile and kind of saw that they have taken a character from here, brought him way down here, then kind of put him out with a semi-heroic exit, it kind of made sense," he finally said. "Two weeks before that, I was talking to someone at CBS, [and] I said, 'I really wish they had portrayed me in a different way.'" He also cited an instance when he felt everyone wanted to see him stumble. "When Debbie went home, [Jeff Probst] was asking a lot of questions," he said. "He said, 'You're going to get the short end of the stick ... Everybody can see right through you. You're transparent. You're not lying to people. You're not playing the game. You're not strategizing. You're not scrambling. You're going to leave with the short end of the stick.' He was saying that to bait me. I thought about it, and I said, 'You know what, Jeff? You're all waiting for that moment when I slip so that you can point your finger at me and say, 'You're just like everyone else. You compromised yourself to win this game.' And I said, you know what? I'll never compromise. So if I don't compromise and I leave on my own terms, I get the big end of the stick." So what's next for Coach? He's since moved to Los Angeles, focusing on the symphony orchestra he's been working with. He also says he's gotten offers to coach for two community colleges in the area, but he's also considering taking up public speaking. Looking back, though, he wishes he could've done things differently with the way he acted. "But as far as keeping my word and being loyal and trying to take the stronger players to the game, I think I set out what I accomplished," he said. "If you look at the beginning when I turned down Survivor , I was trying to be honorable. You look at me being persecuted by everybody out there because I'm a liar and that's why I got fired ... and if you look at the game when I gave away my food, and I went one-on-one with everybody. When you look at all these things that I've done, I've tried to do the right thing. I'm not perfect, but I've tried to do the right thing ... I've been made to look in the worst light. I've been made to be a fool, and I was only trying to do things different." -Henrik Batallones, BuddyTV Staff Columnist Source: The News-Leader(Image courtesy of CBS)

Well, We Had Been Warned by Owen White, TN Well, we had been warned, anyway. As a recent commenter on my blog noted: “Old Friend From Chicago Days” (OFFCD), aka Khalil Habib, close friend of the Gabriels (‘from Chicago days,’ as Kh. Lynn put it), wrote the following words on www.theantiochian.com one day before letting slip his rather astonishing “private detective” post: Philip has also been an empire builder and he will leave a beautiful legacy to his flock. The only problem is there are too many too anxious to get their hands on that which he has built. There are those in other jurisdictions who smell blood and wealth and would be only to see him fall." (Emphasis added.) To my knowledge Khalil Habib was the first to mention the use of private investigators against real or supposed “agitators” with regard to the recent AOANA scandal. In the same week that he left his menacing words on that website, I received two emails from parishioners in a parish in Chicago who claimed to have heard conversation(s) concerning the hiring of private investigators to look into persons dissenting from the rule of +Philip. I did not know what to make of any of this at the time. In addition to these odd words, many of us who had raised the cry of ANAXIOS! had heard the story of Gail Sheppard. A parishioner at St. Barnabas in Costa Mesa, CA Sheppard sent two letters to +Philip concerning regarding questions she had concerning the distribution of AOANA funds in the Middle East. Here is her description of what happened to her: “ I confronted Metropolitan Philip directly with this back in April, the day before the bishops were supposed to have their meeting to sign away their rights. I also copied a few of the bishops. I demanded that he retire and said if he didn’t, I’d turn him into the FBI and the IRS, which I ultimately did. Metropolitan Philip was furious with me. He called my priest and told him to tell me to “back-off.” He also threatened to prosecute me for blackmail. He then called one of our deacons to verify my address. Within 24 hours my home and car were vandalized and my family received restricted phone calls in the dead of night on our cell phones.” Ms. Sheppard subsequently filed a police report. I had also heard a number of rumors and innuendo, but nothing easily verifiable or the sort of information one can, well, do much with. Most of this came to me via emails, most of them via gmail accounts that could not be traced, sometimes from persons using obvious pseudonyms. I did not know if they were from people genuinely concerned for my well being, or if these “friendly warnings” were rather veiled threats from persons who wished to intimidate me. On Wednesday, August 12, two Caucasian men, one perhaps late 30s, the other perhaps late 40s, were walking down the street in front of my house. They acted like they were looking around, but the display seemed odd to me. One of them was shuffling papers. As my wife was nursing our youngest and I was in the living room with her, we saw the whole thing. The man shuffling papers looked in the direction of my truck’s license plate, and spoke into what appeared to be a small voice recorder. When he finished speaking into the voice recorder, he started to put it into his pocket, but then when my dogs started barking from the back-yard, he walked a few steps further down the road veering his head past my house to look at them, pulled the apparent voice recorder out again, and spoke to it further. My window is perhaps 35 feet from the front yard. The men noticed me at the window staring at them. They walked up to the house. They said they were ADT salesmen and that there was a sale on ADT systems in my neighborhood. They knew my name. They began asking questions about our home security, how long we lived here, noted that I was home during the day (do I work at night?) and so forth. I acted noncommittal and asked a few questions regarding the service they claimed to be providing in order to get a better sense of the possible legitimacy of what they were saying. I did not get the sense that they were actually who they claimed to be. I never opened the security door - they gestured as if they wanted to come in to talk. They conveyed an urgency, but not the same sort of pushy urgency one associates with door-to-door salesmen, it was an inquisitive urgency – I don’t think they had expected me to be at the window. They kept trying to look into the house, without seeming to obvious. I told them that my brother, a police officer handled my security needs and that if they would like I would talk to him about their offer (I pointed toward his house). They then left rather abruptly. They walked up a cross street. My wife, whom they had not seen, got into our car which they had not seen and followed them. They walked very quickly in an odd zigzag route, to a location several blocks from our house where they were picked up by a large grey luxury SUV and sped off. They did not stop at any other house along the way to this pick-up point. I contacted ADT twice, making ADT quite aware of my situation. I was assured that they were not ADT salesmen, and the second time I called an ADT manager assured me that these men were definitely not subcontractors for ADT. I also called the local police. The police came and took my statement, etc. My brother has friends at a local police precinct, and his next door neighbor is a member of the Bartlett police department (I live right on the Memphis/Bartlett border – both police departments patrol our neighborhood). There have been increased patrols in our neighborhood since this event. We get cased from time to time in our neighborhood - but it has always been criminals of an apparently lower socio-economic range than these men. Our house, which is typical in our neighborhood, is worth maybe 90-95K these days. I am not much of a lawn person so the property is not what anyone would call attractive. My beat up old truck sits out front. The house is a cheap ranch home that needs a new roof. These men were well spoken (northern accents, clearly not from these parts), well dressed, with gadgets, etc. I don’t think that such a crew would be all that interested in my house or my neighborhood, thus I do not think they were casing the property But, of course, I have no way of knowing, and this is Memphis, so I cannot say with any assurance that this event was anything other than a strange coincidence. Another strange coincidence occurred in Memphis the same week. Sarah Hodges, the schoolteacher who at the recent AOANA Convention brought to the floor the motion to no longer financially support +Demetri and who holds one of my daughters at most Divine Liturgies, is married to Mickey Hodges, who is known to many Orthodox in America due to his participation in a number of ministries including OCF. The Hodges also experienced some strangeness. They describe their event thus: "The Hodges household received a middle of the night visit. Sarah was having trouble sleeping and was on the couch in our living room about 12:30 am. She noticed a bright searchlight slowly coming down our busy street, shining at the houses. It was the only car on the street at the time. The car moved slowly until it was square in front of our house where the numbers are, and came to a dead stop. The searchlight began exploring our property. Our oldest son, Chris, who is a night owl and was in the kitchen, noticed the light and came into the living room. Sarah got up, flipped on the porch light, opened the front door and yelled at the car. The car suddenly peeled off – it did not simply accelerate. A week before this, Chris Hodges had also noticed a Lincoln Town Car-style vehicle stopped in front of the house, with the driver talking on a cell phone. We have reported these incidents to the police. A lawyer friend said it sounded like private investigators. The recently-retired Memphis police officer who handles our security for St. John told me that Tennessee has a new stalking law that any PI would do well to heed." I also want to make this disclaimer – I am not making accusations against any particular person. The facts are as I have related them (or as they have been related to me), and we are all free to speculate or not as to their causes. If these strange happenings are at all related (as I happen to believe), I certainly don’t have sufficient knowledge, yet, as to discern a coordinator behind them. But, perhaps that may come, in time. Whatever the case may be, as a good friend of mine says, it is time for everything to be brought into the light. Anyone who lives in Memphis for any length of time is used to a fair amount of criminal activity. I don’t think that anyone who knows the Hodges or my family would characterize us as paranoid. I do think that some might characterize us as observant, and resolved. I put forth these matters into the public record, hoping that they never really amount to anything.

a PAW web exclusive column by Hugh O'Bleary ([email protected]) Those Were the Days Whether youre 21 or 71, all things change too much By Hugh OBleary The Dinky ride between the Princeton and Princeton Junction stations lasts a little less than five minutes. When youre trying to get through the New York Times Op-Ed page, or the final chapter of that mystery youve been reading, or youve simply closed your eyes for a moment at the end of the day, the trip can go by all too fast. Find yourself sitting next to Randolph (Randy) Wellfleet 58, however, and it can feel like the Trans-Siberian railway on a slow day. Old Randy (he insists you call him that, so as not to confuse him with his son, Randy Wellfleet, Jr. 86, known as Young Randy) is how shall I phrase this? not exactly the sunniest of commuting companions. As Larry King would put it, You look up curmudgeon in the dictionary, you get a picture of Old Randy Wellfleet. Nothing, to hear Old Randy tell it, is what it used to be. In his opinion (usually loudly expressed, complete with hrumphs and pshaws thrown in), the whole world is heading hellward in the proverbial handbasket. Politics, entertainment, food, fashion (When did women stop wearing hats?!) all come under his blistering attack. However, loyal son of Old Nassau that he his, Old Randy reserves his bitterest grumbling for what he sees as the across-the-board decline of Princeton. It was with a kind of morbid fascination that I lately found myself jotting down Old Randys complaints. The following a mere sampling of his menu of malcontentedness makes one wonder how Princeton manages to stay in business. He is, for example, outraged by the trustees plan to increase enrollment. Why bother even matriculating? was his refrain during a recent mornings ride. Why dont they just hand out degrees on the street As for the question of whether trustee ballots should be mailed to alumni, dont get him started: What a colossal waste of time, paper and postage! How am I supposed to know what the candidates stand for? Theres no information anymore on religion, or political persuasion, or family status, or personal financial statements, or arrest records, or blood type .... Its no more than an exercise in photographic Then, of course, there was the Peter Singer controversy: Moral bankruptcy! A university has no business sanctioning the advocacy His reaction to the announcement of Shirley Tilghmans appointment as president was predictable: Couldnt they find anyone with a Princeton degree? He also grumbled about the universitys knee-jerk kowtowing to the feminist agenda, in appointing a woman when there must be scores of men better qualified. That led him naturally into a long, meandering and all-too-familiar grumble against coeducation. Other bugaboos include campus construction One monstrosity after another and the Dinky itself: What was wrong with calling it Well, nothing, I found myself wanting to scream when I heard that one, but now they happen to call it the Dinky! And whats wrong with that?! I staggered from the train, brushing past two young women waiting to board. And I had to walk, like, practically all the way around Nassau Hall, one was saying. Totally, said the other. I dont even know why theyre putting in new walks anyway. What was wrong with the old walks? And thats when it hit me: Old Randy may be a bit extreme, but hes not unique. I mean, that could have been his voice coming out in twin falsetto. Randolph Wellfleet 58 is, if you will, merely the poster boy for disgruntled alums. And there are plenty of those. Just read the letters to PAW; though signed by men and women representing classes from before World War II to 02, 03 and 04, half could have been written by Old Randy at his most curmudgeonly. A university thrives financially and spiritually on the support of its alumni. It is only through that support that a great institution like Princeton can continue to grow and evolve and change and... . And 90 per cent of alumni, it seems, are against change. As Old Randy would say, It wasnt like that in my day! Hugh O'Bleary commutes to New York City from Princeton. He revels in his daily sojourn across campus to catch the Dinky. You can reach Hugh O'Bleary by writing him c/o [email protected]

Experimentation is fun. After all, one of the things that makes Linux so interesting to a number of people is the ability to twiddle settings and see what happens - I'll admit that it's a major factor for me. One of the problems with that, though, is that some types of twiddling can lead to serious problems. A bit like sawing off the branch you're sitting on, in fact... A number of people write to the Answer Gang with a query that goes something like this: "Dear TAG: I have a stick of dynamite strapped to the CPU, and I'm not afraid to use it. Now that I have your undivided attention: I ran into a problem while trying to reinstall..." What it turns out to be - after the police, the fire department, and the burly men in the white coats have come and gone - is that they've run into the classic "fried MBR" problem: install Linux, realize that Windows will screw up the boot record, delete the Linux partition, try to install Windows first... OOPS. The Windows setup runs into a problem and stops. The reason for all of the above is that they forgot to uninstall LILO, which would have written out the original MBR; as it is, the boot code in the MBR is trying to pass control to the Linux kernel - and that's no longer there. Nothing helps. The undocumented "fdisk/mbr" option that is supposed to write a clean Master Boot Record seems to have no effect; "fdisk" in interactive mode refuses to delete the "Non-DOS" partition; even the detonator fails to explode. What to do, what to do... By the way, a factor in the first two problems might be the Windows "lock" command - by default, 'raw writes' to disk are disallowed, and "lock c:" 'locks' the drive to allow writing to it. (For the last problem, stick to the bridge-wire type detonators from Dynamit Nobel, and store them * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Note: The following advice will completely wipe your Master Boot Record, which contains all your partition information. DO NOT DO THIS unless you know that this is exactly the result you want - it will leave your HD in an unbootable state, in effect bringing it back to "factory-fresh", i.e., empty of data and requiring partitioning and formatting. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you can still somehow fire up Linux - say, via Tom's Root-Boot floppy - you can simply invoke "dd", like so: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 Yep, that's it. That MBR is gone. Obviously, you have to be root to do this. Boot with a DOS floppy that has "debug" on it; run "debug". At the '-' prompt, "block-fill" a 512-byte chunk of memory with zeroes: f 9000:0 200 0 Start assembly mode with the 'a' command, and enter the following code: Press <Enter> to exit assembly mode, take a deep breath - and press "g" to execute, then "q" to quit "debug". Your HD is now in a virgin state, and ready for partitioning and installation. Obviously, you have to be root... oh, oops. Anybody that walks up with a DOS floppy can do this to your system in about a minute, including boot time. Let's see; where was that article about securing your box, again?... The "dd" man page. DOS-based fix: Original idea and code by Mark Minasi, used for clearing infected/damaged MBRs in a course of his that I used to teach; all code/command modifications mine.

Imagine you are a multi-millionaire driving to work in your luxurious ’91 Chevrolet Caprice (hey, it could happen). Gas is cheap, the sun is shining, brightly colored flowers are swaying, ducks are quacking, and life sure is good. With the windows wide open and the radio cranked, you do your best to harmonize with Mariah Carey because nobody else is around to judge you. You are sure that today is going to be an absolutely wonderful day. Mariah and yourself are just about to hit the pinnacle of “We belong together”, when your Caprice violently puke’s its connecting rod through the side of the engine block. Ca-Blooey! Rap Rap Ca-Pow! Thud…. Mariah will have to finish this one without you. Silence has surrounded you as you woefully roll to the side of the road. The sun, flowers, and ducks have all vanished as well. Could your engine have really been trying to escape your singing? Ouch. While you can’t be sure about your engine’s motives, you can be sure that your smooth sailing, sweet B-body needs a new power plant. What a bummer… Or is it? Sure, you can call a junkyard or a dealer and get another boooooring stock sbc engine swapped into the engine bay, but who the heck wants that? Oh that’s right, nobody does. This little connected rod mishap is really the Caprice’s way of informing you that it is bored and needs more excitement under the ol’ bonnet. You are left with only 1 option, a Nelson Racing Engine. Is there any logical reason to not treat yourself to a twin turbo 1600+ horsepower tire shredder? I doubt it. Everybody deserves to have a work of art under their hood, and you are no exception. For a nominal price of just $40K, you land yourself a “572 Twin Turbo Daily Driver Series” engine with 1600 horsepower and 1700 ft lbs of torque. With the Dart block, Hell Fire rings, forged pistons, and two 76mm Turbonetics turbos pushing 15 psi through your intake, your Caprice should be happy again. It won’t have to listen to your terrible beautiful voice anymore because of the obnoxiously loud wastegate dumps. You will also be able to burn off your tires in such grand fashion that police officers may actually applaud you for such gross displays of horsepower. Ok, maybe not that last one, but your 1 wheel peels will be grandiose enough to get a few hits on YouTube. Nelson really does an unmatched job at making crazy horsepower with engines that look like art work. Each and every piece that is bolted onto the engine block looks like it blended, smoothed, flow tested, and then painted with the finest paints. While the price of one of these engines is obviously quite huge, just imagine how many hours of labor goes into each of those parts. Polishing the intake alone is probably 7 billion hours of miserable labor. Between the welding, the smooth transitions between all of the parts, the custom intake manifold, and the hundreds of other parts that have all been massaged by human hands, there are few cars worthy of such beauty. These guys would definitely be getting multiple high 5′s from me if I ever met them. Ducks, please commence quacking again. …..Because we love the videos here on this particular car blog, here is today’s. It’s a Nelson racing 427 small block, twin turbo, on the dyno. It apparently makes 1750 hp on race gas, though the video doesn’t show quite that much. Either way, very awesome. Can’t see the video? Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRb2eAzOZU8 Images borrowed from: http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 by Andrew Conkling It can be difficult to manage "today's" tasks when sometimes there's too much to do on a given day. This week's tip, shared by kylir, suggests using priorities instead of due dates for any tasks that don't need to be done on a specific day. I'm often annoyed by having to reschedule overdue tasks when in reality I just want to get that task done today and if not today then as soon as possible. To solve this problem, I've created a simple "Today" Smart List which shows things that are due today or which have a priority. I then mark tasks in my other lists with a priority which then means I should do them as soon as I can. If I don't finish them today, they automatically appear in my today list for tomorrow without me having to change their due dates. My "Today" Smart List looks like this: dueBefore:tomorrow OR NOT priority:none Thanks for sharing this tip, kylir! You're our Tips & Tricks Tuesday winner this week. Do you have a suggestion for our weekly Tips & Tricks post? Got an interesting set-up or idea? Head over to the Tips & Tricks forum, add a new topic, and let us know how you use Remember The Milk.
