If you are a regular user of the internet, and have a hidden passion for efficiency and being as productive as possible during your daily life, then the chances are that you will have encountered IFTTT in the last three years. The If This Then That service allows users to connect their individual channels to custom created recipes in order to bring a certain level of automation to what used to be fairly repetitive tasks. The service has been growing in popularity with internet users over the years due to its ease of use and ability to interact with various social channels, but the launch of the official IFTTT iPhone app is sure to propel the service’s popularity to new levels.
The introduction of the IFTTT app not only means that iPhone users can now natively access the power of the service directly from their device, but it also means that the device itself will seem a lot more powerful thanks to the automation the service brings. Before we all get excited and carried away with the app, it is worth noting that the initial release brings fairly restricted connectivity between "channels" and "recipes". Although the app is set to expand and offer additional functionality, the first release brings with it the ability to deal with contacts, photos and reminders.
The development team behind the IFTTT app have clearly put a lot of work into the release. The initial tutorial is nothing short of parallax perfection and immediately makes you want to dive right into the contained functionality. However, you will realize in between that the software is limited by what Apple allows developers to do with their apps. Creating links being channels and recipes – such as setting the service to upload all captured images to Twitter or Facebook – is straightforward, but due to background permissions and limitations, the recipe doesn’t actually get performed until the If This Then That app is manually invoked.
Android users will be pleased to know that their coming soon variant of the app doesn’t suffer from the same limitations brought about by Apple’s walled garden. Still, users who have previously championed the IFTTT service should have great fun setting up the freely available iPhone version and seeing what it’s capable of in its current form. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T12:32:40Z', 'url': 'https://www.redmondpie.com/official-if-this-then-that-app-for-iphone-is-here-brings-automation-to-your-device-like-never-seen-before/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I firmly believe that the Gandhian philosophy of nonviolent resistance is the only logical and moral approach to the solution of the race problem in the United States.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day ... the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T22:11:11Z', 'url': 'http://libertytree.ca/quotes_about/Non-Violence', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
The Tanga region along the north-eastern coast of Tanzania is characterized by fringing and patch coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangrove forests, esturaries and embayments. The 0.3 million inhabitants rely heavily on harvesting marine resources from these ecosystems for their livelihoods. The coastal fisheries are open access, artisanal in nature and catch a wide diversity of fishes and invertebrates. Fisheries statistics for the region show that the number of fishers has increased steadily whilst the total catch has declined. Most indicators point to a combination of growth, recruitment, ecological and Malthusian over-fishing in the region as a result of the use of destructive fishing practices such as dynamite, small mesh nets and poisons. The Tanga Coastal Zone Conservation and Development Programme was initiated in 1994 in an effort to introduce participatory, community-based integrated coastal zone management in the region. Subsequently the Oceanographic Research Institute was requested to evaluate the activities of the programme with regard to artisanal fisheries and to assist in developing a management strategy for artisanal fisheries in Tanga. Indicators to monitor the fishery were recommended whilst fisheries enhancement methods and best-use options for degraded areas were examined. In view of the nature of the artisanal fishery in Tanga and the capacity at government level in Tanzania, co-management was recommended for the Tanga region. Permanent fishery reserves or closed areas appear to be the only suitable management tool for the multi-species reef fishery. A drastic reduction in fishing effort is necessary in order that populations of reef fishes can recover and alternative sources of income such as mariculture, agriculture and tourism will have to be developed. Further, the Tanzanian government has to take responsibility for the eradication of dynamite fishing along the coast and international pressure should be brought to bear on the country in this regard. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T10:55:10Z', 'url': 'https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/8503/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
With an outer tire diameter similar to a 29" wheel and a width of 3.5 - 4" or more, the fat bike category aims to take you places that would otherwise be unapproachable on a bicycle. A relative newcomer to the bicycle industry, fat bikes have ballooned in popularity almost as much as their tires, and with their amazing grip and low ground force making them especially effective in snow, sand, or anywhere the trail conditions might not be known. Because of this ability to tame even the poorest of riding surfaces, the fat bike has become the standard for bikepacking trips and other outdoor adventures. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T18:53:33Z', 'url': 'https://pedaller.bike/fat-bikes', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
On this trip, I visited Zimbabwe between 15-Sep-2017 and 28-Sep-2017 and I travelled alone.
This was the most enthralling and exciting holiday. I had dreamt about this for along while and loved every minute of it. Zimbabwe was not my first choice but after many discussions and research I am so glad I chose it as my first destination for my safari holiday. The people were charming and the country so diverse in many ways.
To be able to see animals in their natural habitat was a real privilege and the people who were guiding were so passionate about the country and the animals welfare. I always felt safe and despite the long transfers was ell catered for. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T14:46:48Z', 'url': 'https://www.expertafrica.com/traveller-review/29893', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
There are very few vocalists who manage to harness this quality to rise above the large pack of pretenders who may strike the pose but who cannot manage, to paraphrase Hentoff once again, hit that elusive ‘pulsatingly supple’ beat and deliver the necessary evocative phrasing that convinces their audience that their speech is the music.
West Australian singer Jen De Ness is unfortunately one of the latter group. Undeniably, she has a pleasant voice, and she writes passable jazz, bossa, and sixties vocal pop pastiches that are sweetly played and crisply recorded. But too often she sounds like she has no ambition to be anything other than pleasant background sound – producing what would once have been called ‘dinner party music’ – filling gaps in the conversation with her inoffensive sound. She is too self aware and safe in her singing.
Her voice sounds remarkably similar in its timbre to Chrissie Hynde in places and she adopts a constrained vocal delivery that is reminiscent of Margo Timmins, the singer from the Cowboy Junkies, but without Timmins’ latent sensual appeal.
The whole album plays out as a pleasant and undemanding listen, but there are no songs here that force their way into the forefront of your consciousness, despite some tasteful playing from a number of her supporting musicians – evident most notably in the occasional sax solo from Ray Vine, and the excellent gypsy violin flourishes of Ashley Arbuckle.
Most of the songs are originals by De Ness, but many of these suffer from a formulaic adherence to generic forms and structures. The best of these are when she breaks from jazzy clichés and ventures into more sixties vocal pop forms, as she does on ‘Just Gets Better’ which is in a style akin to a band like The Association, and in the chamber pop piece ‘No More Goodbyes’.
The one cover here – the genre standard, ‘Cry Me A River’ – is a lacklustre effort, failing to touch upon the power of the definitive version by Julie London, or the raw emotion of Ella Fitzgerald’s recording, or even Joe Cocker’s visceral interpretation. De Ness, by comparison, has only delivered a ‘by the numbers’ walk through of this classic tune.
Jen De Ness is coming to Adelaide for a performance during the upcoming Cabaret Fringe where her style and approach will certainly suit such a festival. Beyond such events though, it is hard to envisage her commanding a stage of any significance beyond city cocktail bars, or theatre foyers.

Pick up on trends: Learn how clients are developing in other services to see if there is a trend in their behaviours. This identification will help target issues more rapidly and effectively.
Better decision making processes: sharing thoughts and ideas with other services will help make more informed decisions. Tapping into a wider pool of knowledge is always better than a narrower point of view.
Continuity of care: It’s important that services talk to one another so that clients can be guided through a network of organisations in a seamless way. Clients sometimes are fed up in always dealing with services which are disjointed. Services which understand each client journey gives rise to treating issues in a holistic manner.
Learn from feedback: This technology enables clients to have their say on their experiences with services. Feedback always helps services to learn and adapt as they go.

Lebanon is a unique country. Amongst the bullet ridden buildings, brand new buildings stand tall. Traffic is horrendous and the chance of being knocked down by a car if you are not careful when crossing the streets is high. Getting a taxi in Beirut is an experience in itself, bargaining and agreeing on prices before getting into one. Travelling in Lebanon is relatively safe. We tried the local buses to get to the south and north of the country; we are still in one piece...hehe...The Roman ruins are well perserved as you can see from the pics. Food is cheap esp. kebabs and sweets. Yummy, although I had food poisoning on the 2nd day I was there! All in all, a trip worth recommended to others. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T22:32:57Z', 'url': 'http://photo.appsmiths.com/v/naiza/album28/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve. This is one of the heart’s four valves that help prevent blood from flowing backward as it moves through the heart.
Read on to learn more about the mitral valve, including its location and anatomy.
The mitral valve is located in the left side of the heart, between the left atrium and left ventricle. Oxygen-rich blood flows into the left atrium from the pulmonary veins. When the left atrium fills with blood, the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow to the left ventricle.
It then closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the left atrium. All of this happens in a matter of seconds as the heart beats.
What do the mitral valve’s different parts do?
The mitral valve has several unique features that allow it to keep blood moving through your heart.
The mitral valve has two leaflets. These are projections that open and close.
One of the leaflets is called the anterior leaflet. This is a semicircular structure that attaches to two-fifths of the mitral valve’s area.
The other is called the posterior leaflet. It attaches to the remaining three-fifths of the valve. Doctors usually divide the posterior leaflet into three scallops called P1, P2, and P3.
The commissures of the mitral valve are the areas where the anterior and posterior leaflets meet.
The chordae tendinae are fan-shaped connective structures that connect the leaflets to papillary muscles in the heart. They help maintain the connection between the left ventricle and the mitral valve so it can open and close with less tension.
The zone of coaptation is a rough area on the top side of the valve’s surface. It’s where the chordae tendinae attach the mitral valve to the papillary muscles.
This area makes up a small portion of the mitral valve, but any irregularities in it can prevent the valve from functioning properly.
The mitral annulus is a ring that’s attached to the mitral valve. It connects the tissue to the left atrium and ventricle.
Similarly to the leaflets, the mitral annulus has both anterior and posterior portions.
Explore the interactive 3-D diagram below to learn more about the mitral valve.
What conditions affect the mitral valve?
Several conditions can lead to mitral valve disease. This refers to any type of dysfunction of the mitral valve.
Mitral valve prolapse is the most common reason for mitral valve repair in the United States. This condition occurs when the valve doesn’t completely close because it’s loose.
Mitral valve prolapse doesn’t always cause symptoms. But in some people, it can cause mitral valve regurgitation, which can cause some symptoms.
Mitral valve regurgitation refers to extra blood flowing backward through the mitral valve and into the left atrium. This makes the heart work harder to move blood, causing an enlarged heart.
Mitral valve prolapse can cause mitral valve regurgitation. A variety of other conditions, including a heart attack or rheumatic fever, can also cause it.
Mitral valve stenosis occurs when the mitral valve doesn’t open efficiently. This results in less blood going through the valve. In response, the heart has to squeeze harder and faster to move enough blood through the heart.
Is mitral valve disease preventable?

Hello everyone. Today I tried to figure out how I can convert doc files to docx files by using C#. Well, and I came up with the below example.
Now I will explain the necessary steps.
Now search for Microsoft Word 14.0 Object Library (The version number 14 represents Microsoft Office 2010. Version number 15.0 represents Microsoft Office 2013) and click OK.
Important: Make sure you have a version of Microsoft Office installed on your Development machine. Otherwise you will not find the reference you need.
Important: If you remove the following line of code from the above code your documents will stay in Compatibility Mode after they were converted to docx files.
That´s it. Pretty simple, right? Hopefully my post was interesting for you. And as always you can download my code from here.
Hello everyone. Today I was playing around to find out how to convert HTML code to Word documents (.docx). I think I found a very simple solution to do this. All you need is Visual Studio and a dll you can download from here.
For my example I created a new Windows Forms Application.
The next step is to add a reference to the dll “HTMLtoDOCX.dll”.
A Path string where your finished document will be saved.
And as always you can download my example from here.
Important: I did not create this solution on my own. I got the code from here. Please give this guy some credit for his great work. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T08:57:45Z', 'url': 'https://theezitguy.wordpress.com/2014/06/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

A consortium led by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group has put forward plans to take control of Northern Rock.
Under the plans, Northern Rock would keep its stock market listing but would be rebranded as Virgin Money.
Sir Richard has put together a consortium of US and Asian investors, including insurance firm AIG, to take a majority stake in the troubled bank.
Its plan would inject substantial funds into the bank and "guarantee" the jobs of most of its 6,000 staff, he added.
Northern Rock's shares, which have plummeted in value in the past six weeks, closed up 5.9% at 273.25p following Virgin's announcement.
Virgin said its proposal was the "quickest possible solution" to restore public confidence in Northern Rock, which was severely undermined when it sought emergency funding from the Bank of England last month.
Virgin said its consortium was not looking to buy Northern Rock but that it would inject "hundreds of millions of pounds" in return for a substantial stake.
It is also looking to buy newly-issued shares at a discount to their current price.
Virgin added that it would keep the Northern Rock business intact and retain its links with its charitable arm, the Northern Rock Foundation.
Should the deal go ahead, the business would be run by Jayne-Anne Gadhia, head of Virgin's financial services business, who has been working with Sir Richard on developing a mortgage business for him.
Virgin's proposed partners include US insurance giant AIG, buyout business WL Ross and Hong-Kong based investment firm First Eastern Investment.
Virgin said Northern Rock needed a "complete rebranding" and that it believed the business could prosper from an association with the Virgin brand. He wouldn't say how much money Virgin was putting into the deal.
"I have pulled together a heavy-hitting consortium that we believe has not only the knowledge and expertise but the financial clout to make a once great British institution great again," Sir Richard said.
The Virgin tycoon said Northern Rock was a "fundamentally good business" but that its most senior executives had made mistakes and should be willing "to fall on their swords".
BBC business editor Robert Peston warned that any deal would be dependent on the government continuing to financially support Northern Rock.
"There are, of course, big obstacles, not least of which is that Northern Rock has now borrowed £13bn in emergency funds from the Bank of England - with the loans underwritten by the Treasury - and all of that would have to be refinanced by any successful bidder," he says.
Refinancing the loan in current market conditions would be "too difficult" for any buyer should Treasury support be withdrawn immediately on completion of the deal.
But Sir Richard insisted that the consortium's business plan would ensure that the public money would be recouped.
Virgin's move could also face competition from a number of possible rival suitors.
Reports have suggested US private equity group JC Flowers has set aside £15bn ($30.6bn) to buy the bank.
Further speculation also suggests that JC Flowers and rival Cerberus are planning to break up the firm and buy its lucrative home loan book.
Meanwhile, hedge funds SRM Global and RAB Capital have taken stakes in the firm, fanning hopes that the business may be taken over as a going concern.
Northern Rock ran into trouble last month when it faced a liquidity crisis as a result of the global credit crunch - which began in the US.
Northern Rock was particularly hard-hit because it borrows an unusually large proportion of the money it lends to homebuyers from other banks.
The Virgin group pushed into the financial services sector in 1995 and now offers credit cards, insurance, savings and pensions. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T02:50:36Z', 'url': 'http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7041083.stm', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Anyone looking for legislative text of the Senate’s tax code overhaul this week will be sorely disappointed.
But it should be no surprise, because unlike the rest of Congress — including their counterparts on the House Ways and Means Committee — members of the Senate Finance panel conduct their business in plain English. The conversion to legislative text takes place on the way to the floor.
The longstanding practice was a matter of debate back when the committee, then led by Montana Democrat Max Baucus, went through its 2009 markup of the health care overhaul.
Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning sought to require that before the Finance panel could vote on the bill to be reported to the floor, legislative language be available for 72 hours.
Kyl’s comments came during a September 2009 debate of Bunning’s proposal to mandate the use of bill text.
Sen. Kent Conrad, the North Dakota Democrat who was chairman of the Budget Committee at the time, had the biggest stemwinder of an explanation for the practice, although the crux of the argument matched what Kyl had said.
Conrad explained that when he first joined the panel, he met with the previous occupant of the committee seat, Democrat Lloyd Bentsen of Texas, who had left the Senate to become Treasury secretary at the start of the Clinton administration.
As was the case with the health care debate, next week’s work at the Finance Committee on a tax code overhaul might actually be easier to follow than this week’s proceedings at the House Ways and Means Committee, where members have sparred over amendments written in legislative language seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
That is part and parcel of why Senate tax writers have rejected attempts to change the way they do business, including Bunning’s during the 2009 debate.
“Anybody who thinks that is going to be transparent to the American people is really not telling it like it is. You read the legal language of this committee, there is not 5 percent of the American people who would understand what it means. That is the fundamental reason this committee deals with plain English so that the members can understand, so the American people can understand,” Conrad said at the time.
Baucus was perhaps even more blunt at one point in responding to Kyl while making the case against marking up the health care bill using legislative text.
The committee, now led by Republican Chairman Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, is set to unveil its legislative proposal at the conclusion of the House Ways and Means markup.
That could be as early as Thursday, in plain English. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T16:56:55Z', 'url': 'https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/finance-committee-wont-mark-tax-bill-language-next-week', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Temporary unresolved labels created when parsing expressions were not being purged if the parser threw an exception, resulting in incorrect error report information. This has been corrected.
Added a crude debugging framework that hopefully will become a lot more flexible. Currently it can be used (via a plugin in the Core package) to run an external program or a slightly updated version of the PindurTI debugger from Latenite 1.
Templates have been modified for use with the PindurTI debugger.
Tidied up the project builder a little (default build configuration, IE stealing shortcut keys).
An error is displayed when loading buggy, old or otherwise problematic plugins in the help viewer. The help viewer automatically handles all .exe files now (as well as .dlls) and supports debugger plugins.
...and .global, but I forgot to mention that in the release notes.
The "PindurTI debugger" has been mercilessly hacked out of Latenite, so the code very bad (reliance on public static members in Program, to give you a sample). CoBB is not properly credited, though, and it does use a pretty old build of PindurTI, so this'll have to be fixed.
I'd really like to do a total rewrite of the front-end so it can interact with the assembler a bit better. And it really needs your name on it.
That said, not being able to change the state of the calculator via the non-interactive mode (edit registers and memory, for example) limits the usefulness of any debugger, so I don't know if the time would be better spent working on this.
I’m not standing in your way.
Hmm, I think the easiest route would be simply to take the 83+ emulation of PTI and adapt it to your code. Since I can’t seem to allocate any time for it any more, I’ll just release the source and let everyone do whatever they want with it.
The source would be very useful -- I'm already using adaptations of your arithmetic table generation code in the Z80 emulator bit as it is.
Wabbitemu expands on a lot of PindurTI's features, it wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate your source with it. You'd also get support for SE and 84+.
The next version has many improvements over the first beta release. Perhaps supporting a modified version of Cobb's scripting would be a good idea. Alternatively, I also have gotten very interested in COM lately with all the drag-and-drop fanciness, so I'd have no problem providing a COM debugging interface. (COM would also allow Wabbitemu code to show output instead of funneling it through stdout).
I don’t think the current core would be easy to use for these newer models, and I had problems adding debugging facilities too. It would require a complete, much better thought out rewrite.

I went the stdio way because I wanted something portable that’s still flexible enough. And it’s not much of a burden even if you transmit the full calculator state several times a second, which is of course unnecessary.
I went the stdio way because I wanted something portable that’s still flexible enough.
That's certainly the most portable interface. Inspired by your command-line interface, we almost went the stdout route for the Mac OS version of Wabbitemu, but with a couple of tweaks the core can neatly build side-by-side with the native Objective-C.
One of the main reasons I favor the COM approach is it would allow Ben to use our display and display configuration dialogs without requiring any duplicated effort. We put a lot of effort into the next release to allow the user the option of making any grayscale program appear with all its "theoretical" shades.
Your debugger is still more mature than Wabbitemu's in some ways. I only added features as I needed them (so features like importing breakpoints and labels were done earlier than other essential features like ports and memory banks).
I have to confess, I feel an acute sense of embarrassment when it comes to WabbitEmu, as I've never been able to find a working binary - so am yet to use it.
A COM interface would indeed be ideal on the Windows platform.
But still, what happened to .global and .local?
I guess I never got around to writing them. Feel free to do so yourself, that's the basic idea here!
.local isn't required (or practical) given the new entirely-modular label system. .global would be rather useful, though, I can see that.
I just mentioned it for the sake of completeness, though you're correct.
In the meanwhile I ended up making an extra file which re-equates all routines available from the libraries. Though I will probably keep using this trick because it's easier to replace/modify libraries without causing mass label not found errors.
Also I unwittingly removed Brass.exe from the folder (I was trying to create a desktop shortcut so I could see if you did a PNG icon for Vista haha), which causes any helper program to crash.
Aye, the plugin development could probably do with some documentation. For the record, the way I implemented .global was to save the current module then set it to "" (and then recalling the old module when it hit .endglobal).
The helper programs all reference the Brass.exe assembly directly (rather than running it as a process and using some sort of interprocess communication system) so it's going to be much the same result as removing any library file. I'm not sure if I can detect and handle such error conditions cleanly. (No 256x256 PNG icon, I'm afraid, only 48x48 XP icons).
Ohh, I finally found the example projects in the documents folder. Sorry about that.
When I use the shell extension to build it just opens up the compiler UI. I have to hit rebuild for it to generate the 8xp. This is OK, but isn't the behavior I was expecting.
You found a bug anyway, so nothing is lost.
The "Build" menu option/verb is carried over from when it would just build the project and exit immediately (or remain open if there were any errors). Would you rather it built automatically, or would you rather I changed the context menu item to "Open"?
It's not a true shell extension, just a registry entry to register the file type. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T16:57:45Z', 'url': 'http://maxcoderz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2569&start=45', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Raking up the fallen fruit and destroying them is a suggestion for controlling the spread of the weevil.
Odes are being written and numerous social media posts speak to the bounty which is Montserrat’s mangoes. Many moan the large quantities which are wasted and wonder at why they could not be used to export but there is a reason and one that is costly to rectify.
First, the mangoes remain edible. However, they cannot be legally exported due to a pest infestation.
The Sternochetus Mangiferae is a monophagous pest on mangoes. Translation. It is known as the mango seed weevil and this pest only infests mangoes. According to research, it is one of the most important mango pests and widespread in most mango-growing countries. It is invasive and attacks more than one kind of mango species. The results affect the export potential of the fruit but also its use in the daily lives of communities.
Discovered in the Pacific, the weevil is also a problem for larger nations such as India and parts of Australia. Around the Caribbean, the following islands are known to have the same problem: Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, United States Virgin Islands and Montserrat.
The Ministry of Agriculture is aware of the weevil. It has been a known problem since the 80s, Discover Montserrat learned. However, the high cost to resolve the issue remains a challenge. The weevils can be killed using chemical control or by completely destroying by fire all of the mango trees to eradicate the infestation, one official shared. The chemicals however are very expensive and destroying the trees by fire would require national compliance.
Some mangoes once ripe develop a soft inner core. The fruit remains edible but the export potential is lost.
You may notice that many older Montserratians don’t pick up mangoes from the ground to eat. It is a safety measure as the weevils can get into mangoes on the ground. The adult weevil usually emerges from the seeds after fruits fall and enter a state of suspended development until the next fruiting season. The weevils are only active during mango season. The weevil is spread when people transport fruit, seeds, seedlings and/or cuttings containing larvae, pupae or adults. The greatest damage caused by this pest is to interfere with fruit export because of quarantine restrictions.
The damaged fruits have obvious hard, amber-coloured, protective resin marks over eggs on the fruit skin, often resulting in fruits being downgraded. For late-maturing weevils, emerging adults can cause post-harvest damage to the fruit flesh. The weevil infestation can increase fruit drop during early fruit development, and reduce the germination capacity of seeds. Probably its greatest significance as a pest is to interfere with the export of fruit because of quarantine restrictions imposed by importing countries.
According to research, good orchard sanitation is an effective way to reduce adult populations, and this involves the destruction of all the fallen fruit, stones and fruits with seed weevil damage during and immediately after mango harvest. It is also suggested that trees should not be planted too close together. This would be a further challenge on island, as many trees grow wild.
“Plough the soil under the trees. Maintain field sanitation. Collect and destroy the affected fruits at weekly intervals. Dip the fruits in hot water at 50 degree celsius for two hours to kill the grubs. This treatment will not harm the fruit pulp. Treat the bark with kerosene suspension or diazinon 0.05 per cent to kill the hiding adults before the start of fruiting season. Apply carbaryl at 4g /lit alternated with monocrotophos at 1.5ml ml/lit at 22 days interval from the beginning of March to the end of May,” recommends Indian agriculture officials.
While the fruit cannot be exported with the seed intact, there are other ways the fruit can be used to create products. For example, mango jam, and other treats which use the pulp. More education is needed on island to understand which mango trees are most susceptible to the weevil and how residents can help reduce the spread of the pest.
Thank you for the feedback Larry. It would be good if the local government would release more details on what they are doing or what residents can do to manage the problem in their own yards. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T16:17:53Z', 'url': 'https://discovermni.com/2018/07/31/why-montserrat-doesnt-export-mangoes/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Robert and I had a chance to do something that our schedules don’t often allow, a leisurely walk through the patch. As a result we have decided that by Sunday we should have enough ripe berries to invite people to come out once again and pick. So we will be open this Sunday 8/10 beginning at 8am. Remember that as the day moves along the number of berries will diminish and filling a pint or quart container will take a bit longer. So come out early and beat the heat.
We will also have Blueberry Gardens honey from the hives here on the farm as well as fresh organic tomatoes from the hoop house. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T20:42:48Z', 'url': 'http://blueberrygardensupick.com/plan-on-picking-this-sunday-810/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Your quest is simple: get rid of a demon and save the world! Wrath of The Demon is a great action adventure game and technically one of the most accomplished and polished action adventure games written for the Amiga and Atari ST! The game is made up of a series of scenes each of which contains some sort of task to be completed and, while they are not outstandingly original, they are sufficiently varied to prevent any boredom setting in. The game was also released for the MS-DOS based computers and the 8bit Commodore 64.
Early in 90s' the quality of 8bit Commodore games had increased dramatically. A lot of talented programmers constantly found new ways to push the good old C64 further to its limits. This resulted in better graphics and music in the games, but not necessarily better gameplay. The most important factor in the gameplay quality is the design and innovation, not the technical abilities. Wrath of the Demon is one of these attempts, initially written for the Amiga and Atari ST, and then on the Commodore 64/128 (and MS-DOS). The Demon calls all his evil powers and hordes of strong creatures. Kingdom's Princess is lost and the King fears that the Demon took her away. You are the only one who can help find the Demon, destroy him, bring the Princess back and put an end to Anthrax's plans. Your quest it to get rid of a demon and save the world! The Demon calls all his evil powers and hordes of strong creatures. Kingdom's Princess is lost and the King fears that the Demon took her away. You are the only one who can help find the Demon, destroy him, bring the Princess back and put an end to Anthrax's plans. The way is extremely difficult though. You face traps, flying creatures, giants and finally the Demon himself. This game is one of the hardest ever made and one of the graphically advanced for the Amiga, ST and C64!
The background graphics are spectacular, very colorful and beautifully designed. I was astonished by the smoothness in screen scrolling for a C64 game indeed! Parallax scrolling in level 1 is spectacular and worth mentioning. The sprites look good on the little Commodore and the movement is quite smooth, whilst sometimes the monsters' offensive moves look funny. Most of the original (Amiga) graphics details are here which looks rather impressive too!
Soundwise, the C64 version is great too. All original tunes are found here, including the great introductory theme. The (original) music is what you expect from David Whittaker, is just amazing!

Based near Ely, Cambridgeshire is owned and run by Sian Ryan, the training and behaviour expert from BBC2’s Me and My Dog, and is the product of many years of practical experience and academic qualifications so you can be sure that our puppy and dog classes are not only fun, but are based on up to date knowledge and sound practical skills.
Our aims are to develop your relationship with your canine companion, give you the tools to understand each other and help your puppy or dog develop the important life skills that make them part of the family.
Our classes, developed alongside leading researchers in canine science, will develop your relationship, learn how to live together in harmony and give you great ways of playing together too.
Sian is supported by accredited APDT trainers Calum McConnell and Louise Bater, and much of the behind the scenes work to keep everything organised is done by Jennie Cooper.
We believe that bringing home a puppy or an older dog should be a joy, for you and for your dog. Our classes and workshops aim to give you all the skills you both need to live together in what is an increasingly stressful world and to have fun together along the way.
Sometimes things go wrong, but often with the right advice, applied with consistency and patience, things can improve. We’re also here to support you through that process should you need us.
In all our classes, events and behaviour modification we promote only kind, fair and effective methods. Our class sizes are small to ensure you and your dog get the best experience possible. Punishment, stress and over-arousal inhibit learning and damage relationships and have no place in our training centre.
The team at Developing Dogs also includes the resident dogs, Riley, Cooper, Woody and Buzz.
Riley, originally found as a stray by Hope Rescue, has recently retired from front line training work but remains chief treat tester.
Cooper, a playful lurcher from Jerry Green Dog Rescue, was a founding member of the team. His gentle and playful personality made him a firm favourite of everyone who met him. He died after a short illness in August 2018 and is much missed.
Buzz, rehomed via Greyhound Gap with 9 homes before he came to Sian at a year old, is number one training partner and loves to try all the new things Sian comes up with.
We look forward to welcoming you to Developing Dogs. You can read more about Sian, the centre, and her dogs on the Developing Dogs Blog. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T20:31:19Z', 'url': 'https://www.developingdogs.co.uk/about-us/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Spain registered a very slight drop in unemployment in March but there are still more than five million unemployed people in the country.
New figures from Spain's Employment Ministry show that the total number of unemployed people in the country fell by 4,979 in March.
In March last year, by contrast, 38,769 people joined the jobless queue.
The figures released on Tuesday reveal this was the first time since 2008 that Spain's jobless rate fell in March.
The drop was 0.1 percent, El Pais reported.
At the same time, 30,528 people more people registered as working in March — a fact that El Pais put down to tourism and service jobs stemming from the Easter holidays.
El Economista also noted the effect that Easter Week had on these figures. Last year, Easter was at the beginning of April while this year it arrived in March.
Year on year, unemployment is up 5.99 percent or by 284,376 people.
Last month's dip followed two months of growth in registered unemployment, which topped five million for the first time in February as Spain struggled with the fallout from the collapse of a decade-long property boom in 2008.
The number of people registering as being out of work in March fell in the services sector but was up in construction, agriculture and industry.
After smoothing out seasonal blips, the number of registered unemployed in March stood at 4,857,929 — 6,212 fewer than in the previous month.
A broader, quarterly household survey by the National Statistics Institute provides the official unemployment rate, which hit 26.02 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, a record high since the re-birth of Spanish democracy after the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government had predicted the economy will contract by 0.5 percent this year and grow by 1.2 percent in 2014 but last month it said it would have to revise its forecast.
It has imposed steep spending cuts and tax rises, aimed at saving €150 billion ($194 billion) between 2012 and 2014, measures that have prompted mass street protests and added to job losses. A total of 969,627 employment contracts were signed in March, or 85,000 less than a year ago. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T09:24:07Z', 'url': 'https://www.thelocal.es/20130402/jobless-rate-dips-after-easter-tourism-push', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Zhang scored two points (1-2 FG) with two rebounds and a block in Saturday's loss to East Carolina.
Zhang has seen his minutes decrease in five consecutive games, which culminated Saturday with only nine minutes played, a giant step down from the 29.6 minutes he averaged from Jan. 4 through Feb. 14. The reason for his decrease remains a mystery, but it's affected his productivity as he's only averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in six February games. Unless he sees his playing time increase again soon, the freshman likely won't have much impact over the final four regular season games.
Zhang scored 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT) with three rebounds, two assists and a steal in Sunday's loss at Memphis.
Zhang is still playing through an elbow injury that forced him to sit out Dec. 17 against Texas Southern, Guerry Smith of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Zhang was spotted in street clothes prior to Monday's game against Texas Southern, Guerry Smith of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

Ezek 47:12 "By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."
Ezek 47:23 "And in the tribe with which the alien stays, there you shall give him his inheritance," declares the Lord GOD.
Ezek 48:35 "The city shall be 18,000 cubits round about; and the name of the city from that day shall be, 'The LORD is there.'"
Dan 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
Dan 1:4 youths in whom was no defect, who were good-looking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for serving in the king's court; and he ordered him to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.
Dan 1:5 The king appointed for them a daily ration from the king's choice food and from the wine which he drank, and appointed that they should be educated three years, at the end of which they were to enter the king's personal service.
Dan 1:6 Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
Dan 1:7 Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.
Dan 1:8 ¶ But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself.
Dan 1:12 "Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
Dan 1:15 At the end of ten days their appearance seemed better and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king's choice food.
Dan 2:1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T11:22:39Z', 'url': 'http://www.studybibleforum.com/htm_php-c.php?do=dispersed_verses&start=4140&srchstr=', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Launching startx as root or after chowning /dev/tty7 solves it (expect for input not working, not even switching terminals), but I don`t think that is the proper way to do that.
Sway and Weston work flawlessly why won`t X do so?
1 is the number of the "terminal" you are logged in on. If you are not on terminal 1, then adjust the command accordingly.
Apparently this fixed the Permission denied error, and allowed X to start.
I don't understand why startx would need this to be passed explicitly. I don't understand how Gentoo could be doing anything differently to Fedora here. Oh well. At least it should stop startx / Xorg from trying to open tty7. That was definitely not the modern way to do things, and it was not working for you.

Long showers. Endorphins after working out. Solving a problem in a manuscript. Finally nailing something I didn’t think I could do. Going for long walks and letting my mind wander. Being outside in the sun. Being outside in the snow. Being outside on bright blue days when it’s so cold everyone else thinks you’re crazy. Lakes, ponds, the ocean. Snow-peaked mountains. Rolling green hills. Making people laugh.
Thinking I don’t have time to grab coffee/grab a beer/grab lunch with a friend and then making that time because, of course, I do have time for what matters. Starting a new project and watching the kernel of an ideal grow into an actual book. Cat tummies. Ridiculously expensive, ridiculously dark single origin chocolate. Hugs. Dancing in my living room. Getting to love someone.

Ending your day with a perfect dinner is always a great idea. In Vienna, one of the places you can do this is definitely LE’O, a fine dining restaurant in the first district. We were invited to a dinner at LE’O a while ago, and we were really delighted with the experience, which is why we decided that this restaurant should definitely be featured on our blog Vienna Insider and shared with you.
What we instantly liked at LE’O was the sophisticated, romantic atmosphere of its gorgeous interiors. While waiting for our order we were sipping Bellini (cocktail made of champagne and fresh peaches), which is one of our favorite drinks. It compliments the vibe of this place, and if you ever go to LE’O, we strongly advise you to try their Bellini.
As for the food, we had a salad with grilled avocado and burrata cheese, tuna steak and duck breast with pak choi. Everything was excellent, but our favorite was the duck breast. It is a cut of meat quite difficult to handle, but at LE’O they mastered it! It was exactly as it should be – juicy with crispy skin. We also need to mention that LE’O bakes homemade bread. We always appreciate this effort in restaurants, somehow we feel like they really care about their guests, if they bake their own bread. Because baking requires lots of love!
But enough with the childhood memories and back to our review of LE’O.
Thank you so much for the tip- I am traveling with my husband to Vienna on a regular basis due to his work there and am so appreciative of your tips! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T02:05:18Z', 'url': 'https://viennainsider.com/perfect-dinner-at-leo/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

July 26, 2016 marked an historic day as Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first woman to secure the nomination as presidential candidate for the Democratic party in the United States of America.
As the mother of a 15-year-old daughter, I wanted to check in with my girl to see how she feels about the recent political happenings, specifically this nomination. Below is a snapshot of how Hillary Clinton's nomination has had an impact on one young, American girl — my daughter, Lilly Beth.
Hey Lilly Beth, how do you feel about Hillary Clinton receiving the nomination as the first female in a major party to run for President of the United States?
It’s cool to be alive for it and it shows that women are capable of being, you know, capable.
Yeah, it does because she’s a female politician going for the highest position in the land and I don’t really hear too much about women politicians getting that far.
What do you think about all of the negative press she gets?
She doesn’t give up, that’s for sure. She really wants to reach a goal and I don't think it's about being famous or anything. Like, I really think she wants to change the world.
Do you think Hillary Clinton’s nomination will be meaningful to your toddler cousin, Hannah, as she grows up?
It’s cool because if Hillary Clinton is elected as president, Hannah will never know what it was like before a woman held that office.
Do you ever want to run for president?
No, I want to be a comedian, so I’ll make fun of presidents — that or I’ll be a humanitarian.
Anything you want to say about Donald Trump?
Nothing that you can print, Mom.
Thanks for answering all my questions — glad I can high-five you on this historic day.
Eye rolls for days were followed by a high-five and a side smile. I was pretty happy to be alive for this day as well. Like daughter, like mother. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T11:47:15Z', 'url': 'http://www.maximummiddleage.com/right-now/hillary-clinton-nomination-daughters', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Welcome to the first 12 Kits post of the new year! This year we have a few changes and they are fantastic! First of all, it is now called The 12 Kits of Holidays! Next up, is that we have some new players but to do that we had to say goodbye to Suzanne and Cathy. You both will be missed so much! Welcome Kelly and Tracy!
This month's kit was sent out by the sweetest person......Joyce Mehrberg! Please go visit her lovely blog and tell her I sent you! This month starts us off with a holiday OTHER than Christmas. Joyce sent some fabulous pattern papers and stamped images. I went a little different route with my cards this month so I hope you like what you see!
So I mentioned that this month starts us off with a holiday other than Christmas.......Valentines!!!
I love love the papers Joyce sent......they quickly became the focus of my simple cards. First up, is my favorite of the cards I made.
Here is the full list of blogs for the 12 Kits of Holidays! I hope you enjoyed my cards this month.......and the new designers!!!! I know I am!
Hello! I'm here today with a quick card I made that was over at the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog yesterday!
Seriously, who doesn't love polka dots? With this you can see just how easy it is to line up the polka dot background strip that's in this stamp set! Love the softness of how the sentiment stamped over the white polka dots.
I have a very special post today. Read on about the Card Drive for Grayson.
I have a cute way to use some of that Timeless Twine and wanted to share today.
I have a 7 yr old daughter who hates to have her hair done.....I don't use that word often but in all seriousness, she does. So about the only thing I can get her to do with her hair is wear barrettes or headbands.
I've used a plain metal headband purchaseed at Hobby Lobby. After applying 1/8" Scor-Tape down the headband, I wrapped Tuxedo Black Timeless Twine around the entire length securing the ends at the bottom.
I then added a Raspberry Pink Timeless Twine pom pom adorned with 2 layered black buttons. My daughter wouldn't take it off after the photo session!
Hi everyone! It's my day to share over on the Neat & Tangled blog!
I've used stamps from My Heart Sings for a trendy look that includes Washi tape. I've become a hoarder of this stuff so this is a start to me using some! Fairly CAS but there is a bit of coloring involved.
It's Squeeze-A-Palooza time with Fresh Squeezed Stamps!!! If you follow my blog, you know that I love this challenge here at Fresh Squeezed Stamps. However, this month I am sharing a card as part of the DT. So I want to see YOUR cards this month so I can vote for you!
There are some wonderful inspiration photos up this month to spark your creativity. But wait.....No Fresh Squeezed Stamps?? NO problem!
Each month there are FREE digis to use..... you can find them HERE.
I used the adorable colored hearts digi for my card! This card came together so incredibly easy!
My card was made using the sketch found over at Retro Sketches this week.
Thanks for all the sweet words this week......I am truly speechless!
Welcome to the last day of inspiration from the whole Lil' Inker Designs Team! You should have arrived from Alyssa Scritchfield's blog.....if not, please start back at the beginning at the Lil' Inker Designs blog.
Today we get to share whatever using the newest goodies that were released. I can certainly see myself using these balloons hundreds of times.....they are definitely an asset to my die collection! I paired all these new goodies up with a yummy paper collection from Echo Park called LOVE STORY. You can also find this in the Lil' Inker store!
Lots of Lil' Inker goodies here........stitched hearts, stitched clouds, balloons, balloon string.
I wanted to mention a tiny little thing.......you know a little thing called Paper Crafts? Well, their current call is for everything Birthday (you can find info HERE)! Let's see some balloons in there!
Now we need you to hop around because there are a couple of $10 credits up for grabs this release!
I so hope you enjoy the Lil' Inker Designs blog hop......your next stop is Debby Hughes!
Welcome back to the Lil' Inker Designs January Release! You should have arrived from Alyssa's blog but if not, please start back at the beginning at the Lil' Inker Designs blog!
So we heard you were pretty excited about yesterday's products so let's see how you like todays!!
Today we are sharing the new Mini Party Die Set. So I focused on all the mini balloons in this set! Some of these are the same size as the original balloon dies but it's awesome to have doubles of some....makes for much easier die cutting!
I went with a baby card and pastels here, layering both stamped images and stamped die cuts at varying heights. Love how it turned out! The sentiment banner is the double ended banner from Flags and Tags. It was die cut similar to yesterday's banner (photo can be found on THIS post).
I hope you aren't getting tired of me using these stitched frames! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
See you back here tomorrow for the last day!
I interrupt my regular scheduled blog posting for this awesome news!! I am so excited to share that I was asked to be the first Guest Designer for the new card making club called Muse! Check out THIS welcome post to learn all about the rules for the members of Muse!
When I received the invitation from Jackie Rockwell, I was like.....she wants me? for the first guest designer?? That in itself was a challenge. But I accepted! I had so much fun with my card......I used one of my favorite techniques and I got to use WHATEVER I had in my stash! Sometimes it's fun to create just FOR THE FUN OF IT!!!
I used my Distress Inks to color my flower and leaves. And did I say this was my favorite technique?? I did....... I've used this technique before and many of you say you want to try it so this is your chance!!! First, you need to stamp and emboss. Then color! The key is to start applying your ink OFF the paper and work ONTO the paper. Just blend until you get the desired color or shading you want. Play around with the colors.....here I used 2 colors of each but applying lightly because I wanted a more subtle color but a bit darker in the center.
So now you get to interpret my card......whether its the color, the layout, the technique, the impressed frame.....whatever you feel!!!! I can't wait to see what you all do with this one!
Welcome to the Lil' Inker Designs January Release! This month we have some fabulous new products! You should have arrived from Alyssa Scritchfield's blog.....if not, please start back at the beginning at the Lil' Inker Designs blog.
My card uses the new BALLOON image stamps! Yes, I said balloon images.....they coordinate with the previously released balloon dies!!! Yippee! My little "coordinating" heart is just in love! I've done some basic masking with the new images in a variety of bright colors.
I wanted to share a quick tip about my banner layered behind the #7 die cut. I used the Flags & Tags die and just cut the width I wanted, taped with Washi, and die cut the "flag" end! You can get soo much more use out of this die this way!
Welcome back! Quick post today to share the FULL card that was sneaked here yesterday!
I used the new stamp set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps called A Punny Valentine. Too cute for words!
I also wanted to share that there are NEW stamps coming soon from Annabelle Stamps.....Have you checked them out yet? You can HERE. I have a wish list from there!! Annabelle Stamps is having a new release/blog hop tomorrow. Curious about those "sprinkles" I used on my card? You can get them from Annabelle Stamps! Make sure you tell them I sent you!
Have a wonderful day! I'm off today and working on DT assignments and a special card that will be shown SOON!
I have another "Punny" Valentine to share. I just can't get enough of this fun set!
Here's a little snippet of my card to tease you. Go check out the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog today for my full card!
Can't wait to see what you make with this cute set! Don't forget to link up your projects over on Flickr and Splitcoast Stampers (search freshsqueezedstamps)!
Hi everyone! You can find this post over at the Timeless Twine blog today but am also sharing it here too!
My sentiment banner was stamped with a woodgrain pattern and then overstamped with my sentiment in black ink.
Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate all your comments so much!
Timeless Twine New Color Release Blog Hop!!
Welcome welcome! I'm so excited to be here today starting off the Timeless Twine Blog Hop to celebrate the new COLOR release! You should have arrived here from the Timeless Twine blog, if not please start back there to start and for the full list of participants!! Make sure you do because there is a prize up for grabs! More on that later.
I have a few photos of my projects, so let's get this party started. My first project uses the new twine called Cape Cod. It's a combination of soft yellow, grey, and white. You can find out all about Timeless Twine HERE. I have wanted to make one of these tassels out of twine since I can remember. Years ago, I made a graduation card using a tassel I'd made out of embroidery floss. It's so much better with twine! LOL Doesn't it embellish the bag so much better than traditional bows or curling ribbon?
TO MAKE the tassel, I took a piece of cardstock approx 2" wide and just started wrapping the twine around and around until I thought the tassel would be "full" enough. Next tie off one end of your gathered twine with another length of twine. Cut the other end as evenly through as you can. Fold over twine and wrap another length of twine around the top and tie off. I attached my tassel to my bag with more twine!!
Next up is a matching card. I am in LOVE with this paper! It's from the Bramble Rose collection by My Minds Eye. It was layered over a die cut made with the Stitched Mats: Rectangles from Lil' Inker Designs. Cape Cod twine was wrapped around the panel and a sentiment and arrow finish this off!
Here's my card and bag ensemble together!
My next project is another card but using the other NEW twine called Graphite Gray. It's a combination of gray and white. Here I've used the twine to make my own embellished FLAIR! I'm not sure if any of you were obsessed with collecting those JCPenny buttons over the holidays but I was! I even had my hubby going there! So I have this sack of buttons on my craft desk......and thought, why not?!
TO CREATE my twine Flair, I covered the entire smooth surface with Scor-Tape and tucking it over the rounded edges. I then started to create my design. Scor-Tape worked perfectly for this! No sticky glues or mess!
This card uses paper from the Breeze collection by My Mind's Eye that was misted with Classic Tan Mister Huey's mist. I love the look the mist gives!!! My flair was attached using foam adhesive.
I'm going to enter this in the CASual Fridays Challenge this week: Round of Applause.
Here are the new colors of twine now for you to drool over!!!
Remember I mentioned a little giveaway? One winner will receive BOTH new colors and must be a FOLLOWER of the Timeless Twine blog AND leave a comment on all the Design Team's blog posts including the Timeless Twine blog. That's it! So easy! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T16:05:00Z', 'url': 'https://stamp-n-paradise.blogspot.com/2013/01/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Greg Watson (photo above) is taking us on a trip in the desert to the Trona Pinnacles and an old freighting station that was active in the late 1800's. Accompanied by Dan McClung. Called Remi Nadeau's Dry Station (probably named this because of a lack of water). Remi Nadeau was one of the early freighters that hauled gold, silver and borax to shipping terminals and mining supplies and water to mines in the area.
If this alien landscape looks familiar, you might have seen it on "Lost in Space", "Planet of the Apes", "Star Trek V", "The Final Frontier", or a couple of commercials. See the map below for the location of the Trona Pinnacles.
One thing we noticed in Greg's photos and haven't ever seen anywhere else is the excavated tunnel that could have been a mine or residence at the base of one of the pinnacles. Photo in the slideshow!
The Trona Pinnacles are fairly well known, but you'll find this is an interesting, new way to look at the scenery and other things of interest in the area. You should be able to easily find them with the maps provided. Thanks to Greg Watson for sharing this adventure in the Mojave Desert. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T18:25:51Z', 'url': 'http://www.in-the-desert.com/Trona_Pinnacles.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The recently rebranded EFL Trophy has long been a competition famous for giving lower league clubs the opportunity to gain silverware each season. The knockout competition, which only teams from Football League’s One and Two were able to participate in, meant that fans of these clubs from the lower divisions had the chance of a trip to Wembley at the end of the season to watch their beloved team battle it out in the final, ultimately striving to lift the trophy. You can check out the latest EFL cup previews over at Footy Accas, by just clicking the link.
Due to their being no teams from the top two tiers in English football allowed in the competition, even the smallest of clubs with the most stringent budgets in League Two still stood a reasonable chance of making it to the Wembley final. Because of this, the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, which before being named that was widely recognised as the LDV Vans Trophy, was such a well-respected and highly sought after competition amongst teams in the third and fourth tiers.
In the past, we’ve seen the likes of Chesterfield, Carlisle United and Crewe Alexandre all win the competition; all sides who would see chances of playing at Wembley without reaching a play-off final incredibly unlikely if it wasn’t in the EFL Trophy. Attendances at these Wembley finals have always been over the 40,000 mark, which shows just how seriously the competition was taken by fans of the clubs participating in it.
Last season saw a rebrand of the EFL Trophy, the name was changed from the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy to the CheckaTrade Trophy due to sponsorship reasons, and with it came a complete reformat. The EFL Trophy went from being a straight forward knockout competition to having 16 regionalised groups; eight groups for teams from the North of England, and eight groups for teams from the South. This wasn’t the only change made however, as the biggest change the competition witnessed was the introduction of twelve Premier League and four Championship u21 sides.
Development teams from Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Leicester City, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Reading, Southampton, Stoke City, Sunderland, Swansea City, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United all now feature in the CheckaTrade Trophy alongside the 48 teams from League One & Two.
The two teams that finish both top and second in each group then go through to the knockout stages, where it then goes down to who fairs better on the given night. The fact that groups have now been introduced as part of the formatting of this competition means that teams from the Football League have to play a lot more games than they used to. This means that alongside the gruelling 46 game-per-season schedule each team from League One & Two has to already endure, they now have to play a minimum of three games in the CheckaTrade Trophy before they even stand a chance of making it through to the knockout stages, where as many as four additional fixtures can be played out before reaching the illustrious final at the end of May.
Because of these additional matches, many teams from the Football League decide to field weakened teams in order to preserve their strongest line ups for more important domestic fixtures. This, in turn leads to a significant drop in the quality of football on show, which then has a detrimental effect on attendances for these games around the whole of the country. For example, just this season when Grimsby hosted Sunderland u21’s at Blundell Park only 248 fans showed up, of which only 7 of those made up the Black Cats end. Many fans have now started boycotting matches in the CheckaTrade Trophy because of the inclusion of development sides from the Premier League and Championship, stating it’s made the competition a Micky Mouse esc joke cup, that’s it’s purely experimental and for the benefit of the development teams and nothing else. This, as you would imagine has further deteriorated the profile of the competition, to the point where it looks like it will never be salvaged.
The addition of u21 teams from the top flight and Championship means that the EFL Trophy has now lost it’s humble lower league feel, it’s unique selling point and identity within the English game, if you will. Instead, all it signifies now is a competition that caters for the bigger teams, focussing solely on the benefits that they can get out of it, completely disregarding the established mainstays and what they could potentially achieve. Don’t get me wrong, player development is paramount for the future of the game, but doing so at the expense of other teams from the lower league’s will undoubtedly do more harm than good in the long run. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T13:08:08Z', 'url': 'https://www.theleaguepaper.com/latest-news/football-league-trophy/9588/how-the-introduction-of-u21-teams-has-ruined-the-efl-trophy/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Practice makes perfect, We know we need to practice to become great dancers. So how do we find the time?
A few weeks ago I had dinner with a few of my dancing friends. We started talking about how challenging it is to find time to practice and even going social dancing, especially for those who have families, small children or a demanding job. We all agreed, practice is important. Not only makes us better dancers, it helps us memorize complicated moves and steps, as well.
Personally, I don’t go out dancing as much as I used to. And I’m attending far less lessons and workshops than before. In other words, my priorities have shifted.
I did share a tip with the group. Every time I go to a class or workshop to learn something new, I immediately go to a private place or room and I spend about 10 to 15 minutes going over what I just learned. First without music, then I put on my earphones and do it again as I listen to a song, This has helped me learn and remember new material quicker, without spending too much time practicing afterwards.
My tip works for anyone who wants to practice on their own, but ideally we want to find time to practice with other people. So how do we achieve that? How do we keep our work, school, family, and dance lives in balance? In search for the answer, I asked a few of my dancing peers if they could share a tip or advice with me. The one thing I got from all of them is that in order to schedule practice time successfully, two key factors must be taken into account: prioritizing and proper time management.
The more I looked, the more I realized that my search for the perfect live and dance balance is futile. Things are never going to be in balance, simply because life doesn’t work that way and nobody has ever enough time to everything. Nonetheless, we can get more out of your available time if we keep the two factors I mentioned above in mind.
If we want to improve as dancers we do have to make practice a priority. This means that other hobbies and activities besides work are going to suffer, but that’s ok. It’s how life works. The results from practicing and becoming better dancers will eventually pay off happy results. It’s important to mention, that we should not step away from our families. Our loved ones should always be our top priority.
As far as time management goes, the better we organize our lives, the more time we can dedicate to our dancing. There are many apps for mobile devices and computers to help us stay organized. One of my friends keeps a calendar with all the weekly activities glued to the fridge. She says it’s the first thing she looks at when she makes breakfast in the morning. I do have a suggestion for a great book on time management, though. It’s called “Manage Your Time The Lazy Way” by Toni Ahlgren. It has great tips and information about how to get more things done quicker. Finding time to dance might be challenging, but not impossible.
So how do you make time to practice and go social dancing? Do you find practicing at home easier vs. practicing at the studio? What tips that have worked for you can you share with us? Feel free to leave your comments in the section below.
In an average month how often do you go social dancing?
For dancers with families, one of the easier ways to be able to practice and keep up with dance, I think, may be to practice and dance at home, if possible, ideally with one’s partner/husband or wife or even children or other family members.
I know a lady who was one of my professors, she used to dance bellydance at a professional level in Egypt, and even though she doesn’t dance professionally anymore, she teaches dance and physical education at a college, so she probably has a bit of help because her job is closely and often directly related to dance.
She teaches bellydance at the college and neighboring colleges and schools, and is often so busy.
Also, she’s raised three children who have now gone on to colleges. However, I remember visiting her house years ago, and she had a dance studio in there!! She turned the basement room into a really nice dance studio with mirrors, hard wood, and all, so she practices right there at home, often with her children, who grew up seeing her dance.
So, perhaps, it is helpful, if one wishes to keep up with any form of dance, to have a dance space at home, like one might have a library, or play or tv room, if possible. And then, perhaps, the family can join in, too.
Personally, if i had a house, a dance room or space is something i would certainly consider, if i had the choice.
Also, I wonder how the pros who have families do it. I know several well-known dancers now have children, from Tito and Tamara, to Troy and Jorjet, and Yamulee’s Rasove has taken some time off to be with the baby, among other pros. So, perhaps, those guys have some insight into how they balance their lives, although their cases are a bit different because they’re dance professionals. But, still, I think, they do face a lot of challenges and frustrations balancing their families with and dance.
I also find practicing at home easier than the studio. I really like your suggestion of having a dedicated space or room at home to practice dancing.
I think that even a few minutes a day or a week make a difference.
How do you personally find time to practice or going social dancing?
As a leader I sneak my practicing in all over the place. Grocery store carts make a great way to practice my posting as a I groove to the music of the store. Riding my motorbike I do the same as I have to be able to groove without moving the handle bar.
Practice doesn’t have to be a formal event just enjoy some music and groove where ever you are. Also helps build confidence in the sense that you are working on the inhibitions of dancing in public. And any leader will tell you confidence as a lead is key to improving your dance.
So what you are saying is, that if we are unable to schedule a set time for practice, we can incorporate it into our daily activities. For example, computer programmers working from home or an office can stand up from their desks and practice while they are waiting for a huge file to upload. Uber drivers can play some music in their cars and go over some moves in their heads as they wait for their next fare.
In other words, downtime at work or at home can be used for practice. We just need to remember to use that time constructively. Correct? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T16:29:24Z', 'url': 'http://socialdancecommunity.com/i-cant-find-the-time-to-practice-or-go-social-dancing/?replytocom=26777', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The Chushingura is based on a true story and relates the deeds of 47 samurai who became ronin (masterless) in 1701, after their lord had been forced to commit ritual suicide (seppuku) for assaulting a court official who had insulted him. The ronin avenged their master by killing the court official after patiently planning for over a year. They were themselves then forced to commit seppuku. The story was extremely popular in Meiji times and Gekko created many illustrations and prints relating to it. The best known series is his Gishi Shiju-Shichi Zu. This set of oban size prints includes a title page and a print resembling a memorial tablet. The British museum list 52 prints and says that this set of colour woodblock prints was published in 1902 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the event. However 53 prints can be found, dated as early as 1895 and as late as 1903. Three prints exist in entirely different versions, these are the prints of Horibe Yasuhyoue Taketsune , Katsuta Shinzaemon and Fuwa Kazuemon Masatane. In each case one version of the prints is dated in the mid 1890's and the other in the early 1900's which strongly suggests the whole series was printed at least twice. The prints were published by both Takegawa Risaburo and Matsuki Heikichi and may also be found in a creped version. This is however not the only time Gekko was involved with illustrating this story. He illustrated a number of books about the story including an English language version. The Japanese books can be seen here, the English version here. He also produced a half oban size set of 12 prints which can be found bound as an album and at times uncut 2 prints per page. He produced a huge black and white print depicting all the ronin on one page and a fascinating print depicting the ronin presenting the head of their master's enemy to his grave stone. This extremely rare print is reputedly the last print Gekko designed and it was accompanied by a page depicting a group of Meiji notables, including Gekko and possibly a third page of poems about the ronin. The Gishi Shiju-Shichi Zu are shown over 3 pages, the titles given are those found on the British Museum site but other translations of the kanji are possible. The other ronin pieces are on the fourth page in this section.
The first two images are the title page and a 'memorial stone rubbing' listing the ronin and other details about the series. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T15:46:17Z', 'url': 'http://ogatagekko.net/47Ronin.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The great outdoors offers an endless amount of opportunities for fun and adventure. All one has to do is go out and start exploring.
Well, perhaps not all; it pays to be prepared when venturing into the wilderness. For all-day or multi-day expeditions, this boils down to packing the right stuff for the journey.
So whether you’re taking an exotic adventure to Puerto Rico or traveling to another adventure travel destination, here is a brief breakdown of the important things to pack for your next outdoor adventure.
When roughing it out in the wilderness your time outdoors can be made much more enjoyable thanks to the hundreds of clever gadgets. Some examples can be survival-related like a water filter to turn stream and lake water into clean drinking water or maybe freeze dried food that can be turned into an entire days worth of calories with just some hot water.
Additionally, camping can be made much more luxurious with small devices like a headlamp, a folding chair, and table, or even a study wine bottle holder and a cigar cutter and lighter set. Personally, my favorite business travel gadgets that I tend to carry with me on business trips include my solar powered battery pack, cellphone with accompanying lenses, and my travel hammock.
Deciding which clothes and footwear to bring on your outdoor adventure will be contingent on the weather, terrain and region you’re traveling in. For instance, the type of gear you would wear through a tropical destination in Central America would be entirely different from what you would wear to many of the destinations in Eastern Europe.
Suitable activewear and water-resistant boots are probably a universal standard across all climates and topographies, but whether ponchos, sandals, and other items should be packed will depend on where you’re going. Consult with someone experienced in exploring that environment for tips on what sorts of apparel ought to be brought along.
Of course, I always recommend bringing a hammock no matter what region you travel to!
If you’re planning to spend a lot of your time traveling the countryside and exploring the outdoors, you’ll want to ensure you’ll always have the ability to put together a campsite with the right packing essentials for a national park, or someplace less official.
The size of these items as they are when rolled up and packed away is important to know before heading out, as you’ll be lugging them around wherever you go. If you’d like some recommendations, take a look at my packing essentials for a national park guide!
A lot can go wrong when you’re dozens of miles from the nearest road and even further from the nearest town. Take a look at my adventure road trip to Tibet. When you’re taking the back roads in route to Mount Everest, you travel a lot of roads where you rarely see another person. Just as we reached one of the mountain passes we got a flat tire. Luckily, our tour guide and driver had a spare replacement.
But in any scenario, it’s always best to be prepared by bringing a first aid kit, GPS-enabled smartphone, and other items which could prove lifesaving in a pinch. To get some ideas, take a look at my minimal backpacking checklist.
Most amateur wilderness explorers don’t spend enough time on properly choosing the foods they pack for their trip. It’s not unusual to see someone with nothing more than a box of granola bars and a bag of beef jerky. While these foods are better than others in terms of their ability to provide high jolts of energy when you need it most, it would be wise to try and pack camping rations which represent a wider range of nutrition.
Trail mix rich in dried fruits and low-fat nuts, as well as freeze-dried veggies are examples of the additional food items you could bring to make your food supply more nutritionally balanced and optimized for high intensity. Do you like taking the all-natural, all organic route? Then slice up some fruit like mangos, strawberries, and pineapples for a delicious treat. Alternatively, if you’re limited on resources due to the region you’re traveling in, check out the local markets for a selection of fresh treats.
Who needs tourist attractions and theme parks when we have the great outdoors giving us so much opportunity for fun and adventure? While unforgiving at times, exploring the wilderness can give you an unbelievable experience that can’t be recreated through any other activity. Just remember to pack smart to make the most of your outdoor adventure, and to ensure the experience is unforgettable for all the right reasons! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T05:53:38Z', 'url': 'https://activeplanettravels.com/packing-for-your-next-outdoor-adventure/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Russia and the United States put aside bitter differences over Syria to strike a deal on Saturday that by removing President Bashar al-Assad‘s chemical arsenal may avert U.S. military action against him.
The agreement between the U.S. and Russia to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons hands President Barack Obama a diplomatic achievement without U.S. armed forces firing a shot.
Pakistan‘s military response to the raid that killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on the night of May 1, 2011, was entirely inadequate, a leaked government report has charged. Furthermore, due to “outdated” defence procedures and an overall defence “policy bankruptcy”, the country remains vulnerable to such raids in the future, says the Abbottabad Commission report.
The Abbottabad (Osama bin Laden) Commission has concluded that the global terror kingpin’s nine-year-long stay in Pakistan and the May 2011 secret US raid, in which he was killed, were because of “gross incompetence” of the state institutions, but was particularly critical of ISI for being too casual in first tracking him and then investigating the May 2 denouement.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will leave her post on Friday, has said that the United States wants to see a cooperative, comprehensive and positive relationship with China.
Clinton said that together, the two countries will defy history.
“Historically, a rising power and a predominant power have had clashes, whether they were economical or military. Neither of us wants to see that happen,” she told a global town hall forum in Washington on Tuesday, watched by students from around the world via satellite.
“We want to see a rising power like China join the international community as a responsible stakeholder, continue its extraordinary efforts to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, create a strong, vital middle-class and have respectful relations with its neighbors, in all of the ways on land and sea that is required,” she said.
After four years of international tumult, Hillary Clinton is preparing to step down as secretary of state. In addition to carrying out her traditional role as the nation’s top diplomat, Clinton has quietly used the office to help U.S. companies close deals with foreign governments—arguing that business and trade promotion are central to American strategic interests. Bloomberg Businessweek sat down with Clinton in August in her seventh floor office overlooking the Lincoln Memorial. In this edited interview, she talks about competing with China and the rest of the world and why the government should go to bat for business.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was supposed to mark both the “end of history” and the birth of an international community founded on the universal acceptance of Western values — a world in which “market democracy” was the norm. Instead, the West has suffered a litany of disappointments — from costly wars to financial crises to the rise of non-Western powers — that has left it deeply disillusioned. Far from a cooperative, rule-based order, the contemporary world is a place of vast, permanent competition — a muddled melee among regional poles, countries, governments, businesses, banks, financial funds, rating agencies, producers, consumers, individuals, international media, and criminal organizations, if not also between “civilizations.” This competition continues even in the forums that are supposed to regulate it: the World Trade Organization, the G-20, and others. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T01:49:46Z', 'url': 'https://lookingbeyondborders.com/tag/united-state/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Per the Freedom of Information Act, US citizens have the right to access information from the federal government. We can visit Data.gov to search the more than 197,000 current datasets currently indexed on the site. While the intent is to leverage that data for the public good, there’s also an enormous amount of information available that could be used by bad actors to gather information about individuals, like the physicist in this article.
For any organization that has privacy obligations and large data sets, it’s crucial to establish good data governance standards to limit the risk of the “mosaic effect” – where overlapping large data sets that may seem individually “de-identified” can result in re-identification through analysis of the aggregate data. Consider what information you’re making accessible, and to whom, and whether or not those with access could use the data to re-identify confidential subjects.

As with other MV* approaches the goal is the separation between the structure of the user interface and the (UI-) logic. To do this MVVM defines a ViewModel that represents the state of the UI. The ViewModel doesn’t know the View and has no dependencies to specific UI components.
Instead the View contains the UI components but no UI logic and is connected with the ViewModel via Data-Binding.
One of the benefits of this structure is that all UI state and UI logic is encapsulated in a ViewModel that is independent from the UI.
But what is UI logic? The UI logic defines how the user interface reacts to input from the user or other events like changes in the domain model. For example the decision whether a button should be active or inactive.
Because of the independence from the UI the ViewModel can be tested with unit tests.
In many cases there is no need for complicated integration tests anymore where the actual application is started and remotely controlled by the test tool. This simplifies test-driven-development significantly.
Due to the availability of Properties and Data-Binding JavaFX is eminently suitable for this design pattern. mvvmFX adds helpers and tools for the efficient and clean implementation of the pattern.
The following example will give an impression of the development process with MVVM.
In the example there is a login button that should only be clickable when the username and the password are entered.
Now this ViewModel has to be connected with the View. In the context of mvvmFX the “View” is the combination of an fxml file and the related controller class. It is important to keep in mind that the JavaFX controller is part of the View and should not contain any logic.
Its only purpose is to create the connection to the ViewModel.
Please note that the View has a generic type that is the related ViewModel type. This way mvvmFX can manage the lifecycle of the View and the ViewModel.
The shown example uses FXML to define the structure of the user interface. This is the recommended way for development but mvvmFX supports traditional Views written with pure Java code too.
Another key aspect of the library is the support of Dependency-Injection frameworks.
This is essential to be able to use the library in bigger projects.
At the moment there are additional modules provided for the integration with Google Guice and JBoss Weld/CDI to allow an easy start with these frameworks. But other DI frameworks can be easily embedded too.
mvvmFX was recently released in a first stable version 1.0.0. It is used for projects by Saxonia-Systems AG. The framework is developed as open source (Apache licence) and is hosted at Github. The authors are looking forward to get feedback, suggestions and critical reviews.
For the future development the focus lies on features that are needed for bigger projects with complex user interfaces. These includes a mechanism with that many ViewModels can access common data without the introduction of a mutual visibility and dependency to each other (Scopes).
Additionally there are helpers to implement navigation between views and the management of master-detail interfaces. One source of inspiration is microsofts framework PRISM, an application framework that provides many needed tools for the development of applications. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T15:59:09Z', 'url': 'https://jaxenter.com/mvvmfx-model-view-viewmodel-javafx-114907.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Arna is an old friend of mine, and I knew nothing of this when I happened to run into her in February at the buffet table at a local event. I hadn’t seen her in some time, and though she seemed thinner and was lacking her usual exuberance, I saw nothing to suggest she had been seriously ill just months before.
I detailed her story in the latest issue of Stanford Medicine magazine.
She poured out this nightmare of a tale, describing a medical odyssey that took her to a succession of doctors, none of whom could fully explain her condition or offer any relief. I was mortified to think my friend had suffered so and I had not been there to offer her support and comfort. But she told me she had effectively withdrawn from social contact, as she was "living in the land of the ill." | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T12:47:34Z', 'url': 'https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2018/09/24/trying-to-get-answers-one-womans-quest-for-a-diagnosis/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Efficacy of neonatal ventilators in reducing infant mortality continues to drive their adoption in healthcare settings, finds a new Fact.MR study. Global sales are likely to surpass 19,000 units in 2018, equating a market value of over US$ 440 Mn. End-users continue to show a marked affinity for hybrid neonatal ventilators that offer the advantages of both invasive and non-invasive variants.
The neonatal ventilator landscape continues to be massively influenced by advances in automation and integration of technology. To create product differentiation, manufacturers are focusing on equipping their offerings with enhanced safety features, and compatibility with electronic record systems.
The report finds that infant-to-adult ventilators remain an appealing prospect for end-users, but these devices are beset with challenges. The one-size-fits-all approach of infant-to-adult ventilators manufacturers continues to impede widespread adoption. Infant-to-adult ventilator manufacturers are focusing on enhancing patient safety to leverage the opportunities in this landscape. Features such as prioritized alarm messages, customized data displays, and automated weaning software being incorporated by end-users.
Improving efficiency and reducing the overall cost of care is a key focus area for hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. Sensing the needs of end-users, infant ventilator manufacturers are focusing on developing innovative products that deliver invasive, non-invasive, and oxygen therapy. However, the report finds that ventilator manufacturers need to address the specific challenges associated with neonatal ventilation, such as smaller inspiratory volumes, quick gas flow changes, and protection against high airway pressures.
The report finds that end-users have a marked preference for standalone neonatal ventilator devices, vis-à-vis portable and transportable devices. Sales of standalone neonatal ventilator devices are likely to reach US$ 229 Mn in 2018, whereas transportable neonatal ventilator devices are likely to account for the lowest market share.
Demand for neonatal ventilators will continue to remain robust in hospitals, followed by nursing homes and neonatal clinics. Hospitals account for nearly 45% revenue share of the market, and it is likely that status quo will remain unchanged during the assessment period. However, demand for neonatal ventilators is likely to witness the fastest growth in neonatal clinics. The report finds that in spite of growing at a higher rate, neonatal clinics will not surpass hospitals as the largest end-user globally by 2028.
The US continues to be the largest market for neonatal ventilators globally. The report finds that in addition to being a lucrative market in terms of sales, the country is also the hub of research, innovation, and regulation. The US neonatal ventilator marketplace remains highly regulated with FDA recalling faulty products from the market. The dominance of the US in North America’s neonatal ventilator market can be gauged from the fact that it accounts for nearly 83% revenue share of the North American neonatal ventilator market. On the back of strong demand in the US, the North America neonatal ventilator market is likely to reach a valuation of over US$ 163 Mn in 2018.
Manufacturers can expect a steady stream of opportunities to emerge from developing countries in Asia Pacific, as years of economic growth has led to a strong emphasis on revamping the healthcare system. In terms of revenues, Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) is likely to maintain its position as the third largest market for neonatal ventilators globally. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T00:29:53Z', 'url': 'https://www.factmr.com/media-release/483/neonatal-ventilator-market', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
The Reactor Materials Testing Laboratory (RMTL) has opened at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, the specialized lab is able to simulate conditions that materials experience inside a nuclear reactor and will advance research into next generation power plants.
The central feature of the off-campus one-storey structure is a large accelerator that generates a beam of high-energy protons. Encased in a reinforced concrete chamber, it can test the stresses, temperature and other conditions found in metallic components of an operational reactor core.
“This is a highly insulated facility with two-metre-thick concrete walls separating the accelerator chamber from other labs, offices and amenity spaces,” says John Featherstone, principal, Diamond Schmitt Architects. The 600-square-metre building also includes a fully glazed corridor to bring natural light into these work areas.
Metals behave quite differently in a nuclear power reactor environment than in more conventional applications. The RMTL will use accelerator technology to allow researchers to investigate how materials respond to stress and temperature inside a nuclear reactor, leading to the safer and more efficient design and maintenance of nuclear reactors.
“The uniqueness of this facility is a testament to the innovative approaches being used by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science to enable world-leading research and to educate our students,” says Dr. Mark Daymond, the director of the laboratory.
Diamond Schmitt Architects (www.dsai.ca) is a leading full-service architectural firm based in Toronto with an international reputation for design excellence and sustainable design solutions. An extensive portfolio includes work completed for the healthcare sector, with life science facilities, research laboratories and hospitals. Equally extensive is work completed for academic buildings, libraries, performing arts centres, sports facilities, master plans, residential and commercial buildings. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T16:12:49Z', 'url': 'https://www.canadianinteriors.com/2015/09/04/unique-lab-by-diamond-schmitt-architects-opens-at-queens-university/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Design groups are often at a loss when negotiating a contract with fmcg companies, but the DBA is trying to even the score.
The Design Business Association is calling it one of the most important issues it has faced. It has been to the Office of Fair Trading about it, it has been to the European Union about it, and it has just written to a host of design consultancies about it.
The issue concerns clients forcing consultancies into potentially restrictive and damaging contracts. And according to the DBA, the issue affects up to 50 consultancies, working predominantly for fmcg clients (DW 19 January).
Clauses that are giving cause for concern include exclusivity deals preventing consultancies from working with a client’s competitors for a period of time. Other clauses allow clients to own all rights to all work and to make design groups responsible for issues concerning implementation of design.
“We have been aware of these clauses for about a year, but they have been in existence for longer than that,” explains DBA chief executive Ian Rowland-Hill.
They have also been in existence in similar industries, such as advertising, but its representative bodies have drawn up guidelines between agencies and clients that have proved mutually beneficial to both parties. The DBA hopes to do the same.
“We have a view about what is fair and reasonable, and what is lawful,” says Rowland-Hill. “We are out to improve performance and the relationship between the industries,” he adds.
He admits, though, that some consultancies need to have a greater awareness of complex contractual negotiations, and that, traditionally, clients have been in a better position to negotiate a superior deal for themselves than design consultancies.
The rise of the purchasing director is an important factor in this issue, according to Simon Rhind-Tutt, managing director of The Tutt Consultancy. When dealing with contracts, consultancies often find themselves at the table with a trained negotiator, the purchasing director, who is only interested in securing the best deal for the client, says Rhind-Tutt.
“The mistake the design consultancy makes is it doesn’t put a trained negotiator in opposite him,” he adds.
“The purchasing director is not the ultimate decision-maker, but is often negotiating with someone who is, like a managing director. The purchasing director comes to the table with half his cards showing, the MD with all his cards showing, and the client ends up securing a better deal,” he says.
Landor Associates managing director for London Charlie Wrench agrees that it comes down to negotiating power, and often a lack of legal experience on behalf of the consultancy.
While the DBA couldn’t comment on the consultancies affected, it did say that the contracts involve “significant projects with global businesses and are therefore at the upper end of the fee-income scale”.
It is probable, however, that smaller consultancies are the more likely to be affected, a likelihood endorsed by Michael Burd, partner at law firm Lewis Silkin, which represents a number of groups, including The Partners.
“It all depends on the bargaining powers of the design consultancies. None of our major clients would accept [restrictive contracts] but the smaller ones – it depends on their relationship with the client and how dependent on them for work they may be,” says Burd.
Burd believes the shrewder groups will place a different person at the negotiating table from the one that will eventually manage the relationship between the client and consultancy. “The natural inclination for someone who will manage this relationship is to concede during negotiations because they want everything to run smoothly,” he explains.
While Rowland-Hill accuses some clients of employing bullying tactics during negotiations, one prominent former blue chip marketing director who doesn’t want to be named says that clients are just protecting themselves and introduce clauses into contracts to combat the behaviour of some design groups in confidentiality and loyalty issues.
“Clients don’t want to invest time in selecting a consultancy and instructing it on its business, only then to see the group turn around and say we have been offered a better deal and walk. And there are many examples of a client briefing a consultancy on a particular project and within a few days it is being leaked to the press,” he points out.
As the fmcg sector consolidates and a smaller number of bigger companies are created, the secrecy issue becomes more important for the client. In some instances, designers at consultancies are unaware of non-disclosure agreements signed with the client. This fuels client paranoia.
“Clients want some level of security,” says Britvic marketing director Andrew Marsden. “There is a debate about what is reasonable in terms of exclusivity. There comes a point where the consultancy is not going to know much about the client because the information it held is not current.
“Designers will often build into fees compensation costs for the exclusivity period. You can’t complain on the one hand and take advantage on the other,” he adds.
Williams Murray Hamm director Richard Williams has a different perspective. “They [clients] don’t offer us eternal loyalty and we can’t offer them the same, but we can offer them confidentiality,” he says.
One way for a client to achieve greater loyalty and establish longer relationships with consultancies is to set up a roster. It guarantees the client exclusivity, but does not always guarantee work for a consultancy.
“A well-run roster is a good thing to be on,” says Williams. But Landor’s Wrench warns that an assessment of its commercial viability needs to be made, as some groups find themselves bound to a roster with little benefit in return. “A lot of groups sit in a hope over expectation position,” he explains.
While some industry figures are anxious for the DBA to establish mutually beneficial guidelines, others, such as Coley Porter Bell managing director Amanda Connolly, think such guidelines are unnecessary, but insist design consultancies need to wise up.
Most agree, however, that design consultancies need to become more professional in the way they approach complicated contractual negotiations.
The implications for the design industry, such as a restriction in consultancies’ abilities to gain sufficient experience in selected sectors because of restrictive contracts, are serious enough for this issue to be addressed as a matter of urgency. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T22:52:13Z', 'url': 'https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/25-january-2001/making-a-contract-killing/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Truman said it best, “the buck stops here.” Whether you got it from your Dad, bought it, built it from the ground up or someone pays you to run it, it’s all the same. If it makes money you’re a hero. If it loses money you question yourself and others question your compe- tency. The story hasn’t changed for decades. Nor, has the economy. One industry is up, another down. A few years are good, a few are lousy. So, what’s new?
Do you ever wonder at the end of the day, what your real job is? Keep the company solvent, make a profit, control expenses, motivate the people, make the best strategic decisions, keep the Board happy, make the bank comfortable, execute flawlessly, keep clients satisfied and the list goes on. Oh, don’t forget to save time for that thing called balance. It’s almost a joke. Yes, you have an executive team. And, you can count on them. And, for the most part you pride yourself in how well they perform. But at the end of the day, where does that buck stop?
Let’s face it, you didn’t get to where you are because you don’t have a backbone or couldn’t make a deci- sion. You got to where you are because you’re tough and you made people believe your answer was the best answer. But, what got you here may not get you where you need to go next.
There’s a thing called a lifeline. It’s real and it keeps you tethered no matter how stormy the seas get. It keeps you grounded no matter how much zapping is going on around you. It tells you the truth whether you like the sound of it or not. It’s a group of like-minded people with no ax to grind that come together to get smarter and make better decisions.
This is where smart business people go to get smarter. This is where ideas, knowledge and perspectives are traded like kids trade baseball cards. This is where you learn to laugh at recessions and grid your loins for whatever the economy or the government can throw your way. This is that place where you can always let your hair down and your back will always be covered.
You do. No matter what’s planned, what’s gnawing at you trumps anything on our agenda. Rub shoulders with others who are driving strategy and achieving results. Challenge these members with your toughest business issues and watch what happens. This is about making a commitment to 12 other members and bet- ter, yet, making a commitment to yourself. Four hours, once a month where confidentiality and trust are key. Confidentiality is required and you’ll sign an agreement. No competitors are allowed.
Can you test-drive a meeting? Not if you are kicking tires ‘cause that ruins the meeting for the rest of us. Cost? Forums are $500 a month and billed to your company, quarterly. Where? Meetings are held at The Strategy Forums, which is our facility designed to encourage interaction and free your creative juices. When?
The CEO Forum meets once a month. We gather at 12:30 for lunch together. The meeting starts promptly at 1:00 and ends at 5:00. Ask for a list of the scheduled meeting dates.

Former Palm CEO and current HP executive Jon Rubenstein sent a letter to employees addressing lukewarm reviews of its new TouchPad tablet, and suggested that criticism of its webOS operating system is similar to complaints reviewers had with early versions of Mac OS X.
The letter from Rubinstein, who is senior vice president and general manager of HP's Palm Global Business Unit, came in response to reviews that characterized the newly launched TouchPad as a "mediocre tablet." Reviewers were impressed with the look of the TouchPad, but took issue with the device's weight, bugs, and lack of applications.
Rubinstein's letter, shared by Precentral.net (via Daring Fireball), stresses the positive and states that the industry "understand's HP's vision," seeing the "same potential in webOS." He also said that issues highlighted by reviewers are already known at HP, and will be addressed quickly with over-the-air updates.
"We still have work to do to make webOS the platform we know it can be, but remember... it's a marathon, not a sprint," Rubinstein wrote.
He then shared a trio of quotes from reviews from a different piece of software that launched more than 10 years ago: Apple's own Mac OS X operating system. Those early reviews characterized the software as "sluggish," without any "quality apps," and "just not making sense."
"It's hard to believe those statements described Mac OS X -- a platform that would go on to change the landscape of Silicon Valley in ways that no one could have imagined," he said.
In closing, Rubinstein, highlighted what he sees as the "potential for greatness" in webOS. He believes that users of the TouchPad understand that potential as well, and with HP's commitment to webOS, the potential will become a reality.
Last year, HP bought Palm for $1.2 billion. The acquisition brought HP into the smartphone industry, where the Palm Pre and other devices aim to compete with Apple's iPhone.
Prior to joining Palm, Rubinstein played an important role at Apple as the head of the company's iPod division. Rubinstein was instrumental in the creation of the iPod and discovered the portable hard drives that were used in the first models.
Today we bring the HP TouchPad and webOS 3.0 to the world. The HP team has achieved something extraordinary ? especially when you consider that it?s been just one year since our work on the TouchPad began in earnest. Today also marks the start of a new era for HP as our vision for connected mobility begins to take form - an ecosystem of services, applications and devices connected seamlessly by webOS.
If you?ve seen the recent TouchPad reviews you know that the industry understands HP?s vision and sees the same potential in webOS as we do. David Pogue from the New York Times says ?there are signs of greatness here.? (I?ve included links to David?s review and others below.) You?ve also seen that reviewers rightly note things we need to improve about the webOS experience. The good news is that most of the issues they cite are already known to us and will be addressed in short order by over-the-air software and app catalog updates. We still have work to do to make webOS the platform we know it can be, but remember?..it?s a marathon, not a sprint.
"...overall the software is sluggish"
"...there are no quality apps to use, so it won?t last"
"...it's just not making sense...."
It?s hard to believe these statements described MacOS X - a platform that would go on to change the landscape of Silicon Valley in ways that no one could have imagined.
The similarities to our situation are obvious, but there?s also a big difference. Like David Pogue, our audiences get that webOS has the potential for greatness. And like me, they know that your hard work and passion, and the power of HP?s commitment to webOS, will turn that potential into the real thing.
The question is: How much is HP willing to lose (i.e., invest) before they give up?
I always wondered what the term "disgruntled former employee" meant in real-world usage. Jon Rubinstein's picture now appears in the Silicon Valley Tech Dictionary alongside the term. Good luck, Jon. Keep taking your anti-anxiety medication.
I cant believe that a-hole compared that crap tochpad to the early build of OSX.
This just goes to show how much Jon Rubinstein wanted the top spot at Apple. Jealous lil boy. HP failed. Hate that washed up PC maker with their cheap a** calculators.
In other words, its OK to bring a new beast to the table, but WebOS does not have OS9 fall back. This would be like saying iOS in 2007 was like 10.0, and 10.1, it was not. It was fast, smooth, and slick, yeah there new features desired and they came along, but the version iOS1.0 was pretty good and operational on day 1. I know I got one and it just kept getting better and better.
So HP is doing the Rim and Google Android/Chrome, that is, release a beta and eventually release a final product version 1 in a year or so. Its ironic that MS is more like Apple in trying to get out a quality product versus a beta and let the users sort it out.
This is tough call, it takes time [Apple took years and a lot of money, ergo their being pissed with Samsung copycats not competing] to master the performance in the meantime Apple gobbles up market and worst keeps moving the goal posts with improvements.
So HP, RIM, and Google have chosen get to market and fix the product later. Hopefully, Apple's inability to meet demand will persuade users to grab a beta and live with it.
I do find it ironic that HP and RIM get poor to middling reviews on their products and Google with equally poor hardware/software on tablets gets a pass, 'grading on the curve."
Observations may be reviewers are now embarrassed by their leaning over backward on Google and nailing HP and RIM.
I think you're probably right. I welcome quality competition in the mobile OS space - it fosters more ideas from which we all benefit, but at the same time, HP is a business and they won't put up with losses for a long time.
Yeah, however there was Classic mode, so OS X Macs could still run legacy OS 9 (and earlier) applications.
The first really usable version of OS X was 10.2 Jaguar, launched in August 2002. By that time, there was an OS X version of Adobe Photoshop.
I think Jon Rubenstein just got it up the pooper by the HP board and they didn't use any lube.
Does HP's tablet not look exactly like the iPad, save its underbelly color? Are you kidding? And CEO's so-called vision of interconnectedness? Has Apple not already achieved this? They're share of the worlds tablet air space is 1% (50 times more than any of its competitors) as reported by AppleInsider just yesterday. Hey CEO ... go back to the drawing "tablet" and start with an idea that's YOURS.
That is exactly it, he maybe 100% correct but the difference is Steve was 100% all in on OSX they had no other choice. HP is not going to wait years to recovery the investment. At some point they will pull the plug if they do not see some reasonable return.
The question, is HP going after the all encompassing consumer market or is their plan to bundle this with the enterprise business solutions similar to RIM is doing with their play book.
HP plays a long, slow game. Even if TouchPad doesn't sell at all, they will probably keep at it for a few years at least before they give up.
I like their chances myself.
WebOS is so much better than Android in terms of a fit to the market and the users. Android is proprietary, invasive, and primarily only useful for the young techie males it's aimed at. WebOS on the other hand is completely open (to balance the proprietary Apple system), and aimed at the entire market, not just the "I'm a tech head" subsection.
Overall, since Apple is likely to get the Lion's share of the entire market over time, having an alternative system that's very similar, but open, flexible, and based on open technology would be a great fit.
LOL...I love how they didn't site the source of the OS X review quotes...there were a lot of peeps who didn't want OS X to succeed 10 yrs ago...random quotes are meaningless.
Does HP's tablet not look exactly like the iPad, save its underbelly color?
I think it's more of an iPad as re-imagined by Fisher Price.
Seriously guys I love my Apple hardware but you guys have extremely short memories.
For one he is right about OS/X, as nice as it is now it took awhile to get there. There where significant bugs that didn't get removed until Snow Leopard. However does anybody really expect bug free releases of things as complicated as an OS and the attendant SDKs?
The same goes for iOS. If any of you where involved in the first SDK release you will know what I'm talking about. Apple had many iOS releases in quick succession to deal with significant bugs.
IPad is actually an exception for Apple as it has had a very stable OS from release. Most likely that is due to all the "public" debugging seen with iPhone. In the end this tablet is no different than any other rev one product.
On the otherhand people do gave some very positive things to say about HPs new tablet. Sadly we have deteriorated into a culture of negativity, so much so people can't even balance pros and cons anymore. Frankly I could come up with all sorts of things people see as negatives with the iPad, but why reinforce defective thinking?
Worst people have already made up their mind that TouchPad is a failure. That is a big mistake in my mind. You can be pretty sure Apple is already looking over TouchPad if for nothing else to better understand their weaknesses relative to TouchPad.
Being a fan boi is one thing but blinding yourself to what is happening in the rest of the industry is pretty stupid. Besides it is in Apples best interest to have an non Android competitor.
Grow up you dim-wit... what have you done with your life so far? You also clearly know nothing about HP, which as well as building 'cheap-a** calculators' also builds printers, offers consulting services (I have two HP consultants working for me right now) as well as systems architecture solutions, server solutions, support desk implementations etc.
Some of the other posts here are even worse than yours; I can't even be bothered there.
To be fair to this guy what he said is true. I switched to Mac very early on but it was Tiger that really put the finishing touches to make it a great OS.
That being said though, whats really made Apple and OS X successful is iPod and iPhones. If it wern't for those Mac sales wouldn't be increasing as they are now. I don't see HP having much success with this as there's no actual reason to switch to it.
The similarities are intriguing. Abandoning an old, outdated OS with a reasonable level of success for a new, shiny, buggy, sluggish OS with no applications with only a highly dedicated, bordering on insanely loyal, fandom.
I don't know if HP can deliver though. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T10:18:47Z', 'url': 'https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/127640/palm-chief-addresses-poor-touchpad-reviews-compares-webos-to-apples-early-mac-os-x', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Cambridge 302 vario & 303 navigation unit instructions.
The CAI 302 is a very nice modern electronic variometer, flight computer and approved flight recorder. Additionally it has a serial port on the back that can drive a moving map flight computer such as XC Soar or Oudie. (It is also possible to add a bluetooth system such as a K6 BT mux that would allow it to talk to an android phone for use with XC Soar).
C302 Calibration Form, though a newer one will be needed now that it expired.
Structure: Steel-tube center section framework, fiberglass sandwich fuselage PVC foam core wings with fiberglass skin.
Although the Standard Cirrus was a follow-on to the original Open Class Cirrus design, it is completely different aircraft, with a 15 m. wing with airbrakes on the top surface only, an all- moving T-tail and a steel tube skeleton in the wing-fuselage center section. A Cirrus won the U.S. Standard Class Nationals in 1969. Despite a claimed L/D ratio of 38, measured performance by both Paul Bikle and Ricard H. Johnson demonstrated less than 36. In 1975 an improved version called the Cirrus 75 was introduced with redesigned wing fairings, larger airbrakes and other improvements. 176 were manufactured under license by Burkhart Grob in Mindelheim, Germany. After production in Germany ceased in 1977, the Standard Cirrus was manufactured in Serbia by Vazduhoplovno Tehnicki Centar (later Jastreb Fabrika Aviona Jedrilica), first the Cirrus 75 and 75B version, and subsequently a modified Cirrus 81 with roomier cockpit and variable incidence tailplane. Between 1977 and 1978, the French company Lanaverre Industrie built 35 ships designated CS 11/75 L St. and CS 11/78 L St. These ships overlap the German serial numbers with serial numbers beginning at one. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T14:33:51Z', 'url': 'https://southerneaglessoaring.com/Cirrus.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Businesses buy AX, because they would like to automate their processes. Sometimes they would like to automate more, than standard AX allows. And if business logic is built into forms, it is sort of hard to automate.
One of our clients had to migrate open sales and purchase orders to AX, and mark their lines against each other afterwards. Apparently, calling InventTransOrigin::updateMarking method was not enough, as sales and purchase lines were still not pointing to each other in the reference fields. So, I tried to use the standard Marking form for that ad-hoc task.
Below is the code sample that takes a purchase line lot ID, opens the Marking form, selects the target sales order line and marks it (or unmarks, if it was marked before). Just like you do it by hand. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T14:26:12Z', 'url': 'http://sashanazarov.blogspot.com/2012/10/manipulating-marking-form-from-code.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Collector’s jewels. The Italian ancient weapons market capital is Sarzana. That’s where collectors gather to attain Italian, but also French, Russian, Japanese and Turkish, masterpieces. Since 1999, Czerny’s have been dealing exclusively in edged weapons, firearms, armours, helmets, documents and anything that was used in battles. Czerny’s are one of a kind in Italy: they are the only auction house exclusively devoted to ancient weapons, i.e. the ones that date before 1890, as defined by the law. Their competitors are Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Bonhams. It’s a niche business, which, nonetheless, draws a large number of regulars from all over the world. They gather, twice a year, at the Fortezza Firmafede or at the Teatro Civico in Sarzana, where Czerny’s, the only auction house specialized in ancient weapons, have their premises. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T19:17:21Z', 'url': 'https://www.seaandcountryvillas.com/concierge/art-antiquity/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Speech and text analytics are powerful service tools because they provide insights into customer needs by structuring customer conversations and converting them into metadata that can be analyzed. The findings can help to identify customer trends, opportunities, and attrition risks. Such tools can be used in real time to alert management of mishandled customer conversations, regulatory issues, agents who are not complying with scripts, and potential fraud. Speech and text analytics can tell you why customers are calling in and/or writing about your organization.
The challenge is to properly use and apply the findings from these applications. What do you do with the trends and insights that are uncovered in customer communications? In today’s world, where communications and transactions happen at the speed of a smartphone, companies need to move very quickly if they want to take advantage of the findings from speech and text analytics. They need a process for sharing findings among sales, service, marketing, product development, legal, regulatory, fraud, and other departments so that they can respond appropriately. This is the value proposition and promise of speech/text analytics. DMG Consulting research finds that the quantifiable contributions of speech analytics grow as the findings from these solutions are used by more departments within a company.
Today’s customers believe they deserve great service at every step of their journey and are quick to share dissatisfaction via social media. Enterprises invest in their service organizations to offer an outstanding customer experience, and they expect to see a payback. Speech and text analytics are highly effective at identifying enterprise-wide opportunities, whether for service improvements or new sales and revenue opportunities.
Enterprises should adopt these steps to realize the greatest return from an investment in speech and text analytics.
Treat speech and text analytics as enterprise business intelligence solutions. Although such solutions typically analyze contact center recordings and written inquiries, the findings and insights can apply to the entire company.
Find a senior executive to champion the initiative. This will give the effort credibility.
Create an enterprise-wide committee to oversee the speech/text analytics initiative. The committee should include representatives from all departments where system findings apply, and it should compose a charter pledging to use the findings to drive change within the company. It should work with all department managers to explain the purpose and benefit of speech/text analytics so that the solution is well received.
Hire experienced resources to implement and roll out the speech/text analytics solution. If resources are not available, hire the technology vendor to help with the implementation and train internal resources.
Identify two to three targeted uses of the speech/text analytics solution. Address these opportunities thoroughly before rolling the solution out widely.
For each of the targeted opportunities, identify key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of the solution. Prior to rolling out the speech/text analytics solution companywide, use the KPIs to measure performance and save this data as a baseline. Six months after rolling out the speech/text analytics solution, re-evaluate performance based on the KPIs to determine the impact and contributions of the speech/text analytics solution.
Once data is available, apply the speech/text analytics findings to other targeted challenges. Use the solution to diagnose issues and work with appropriate department managers throughout the organization to fix each of the issues. The committee’s goal should be to address challenges and make necessary corrections to improve the customer experience and journey.
Once the initial challenges are fully addressed, move on to new opportunities as identified by the solution. But continue to keep track and measure performance for all previous issues.
Speech and text analytics can provide insights into the performance of many operating areas within enterprises, as customers and prospects freely share their thoughts and feedback with service organizations. Companies that are successfully using speech/text analytics are applying this data to drive organizational change. The findings help to improve the performance of contact centers because they can be analyzed to identify opportunities for improvement. But the ultimate power and benefit of these solutions comes from using them to detect and address the underlying issues that drive people to reach out in the first place.

Four bombs explode as Iraqis prepare for six-day public holiday.
In Karrada, the streets were jammed with shoppers buying clothes and gifts ahead of a six-day public holiday beginning on Tuesday to celebrate the end of the fasting month.
Earlier, one person was also killed and three wounded by a roadside bomb in the district of Mansur, security officials said.
"The insurgents ... [want] to show there is no security in Baghdad," Qassim Moussawi, the Iraqi government's Baghdad security spokesman, told the Reuters news agency.
He said that authorities expected there to be more attacks in the capital, and some would be difficult to prevent, as bombs were being assembled inside the neighbourhoods they were targeting, instead of passing through police checkpoints.
A Kurdish mayor of a northern Iraqi town was wounded in a separate roadside bombing in Saadiyah near the Kurdish-dominated city of Khanaqin, along with six of his guards, police said. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T06:06:11Z', 'url': 'https://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2008/09/2008928162643250167.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
A ‘how-to’ on how I hemmed and created the thin-striped curtain panels (I know a few of you have excitedly been awaiting this tutorial). I was surprised how easy they were to create and they look like they cost alot of $$$ (but they totally didn’t).
When the royal blue walls were complete last Summer, I knew white curtains would be a great, striking complement. Thankfully, I had an extra pair of panels from my son’s room that were purchased from Ikea 5+ years ago.
I wanted to jazz up the white panels a bit though, and at first thought of a leading edge similar to what I created for my daughter’s room. As more ideas developed, I had seen this living room and pinned it a while back. The thin-striped lines stuck in my head and I knew they would be just the touch to add interest to the stark white panels, yet not overwhelm the room. I’ve seen many striped fabrics in window panels lately, but I wanted something softer and thought thick horizontal lines would be too heavy for the space since the dark blue walls are dramatic enough.
To begin, I hung the white panels on the dark wood rods that were already in place.
The dark rod blended in too much with the wall, and the panels looked so low and squat. It totally went against my rule of thumb on how best to hang a curtain.
Because of the window height, I couldn’t put a decorative rod above (there wasn’t enough room), so instead I bought a $3 basic metal pocket curtain rod.
I created the “pocket” at the top of the curtain (fold over top edge, sew or use fusible tape to create a pocket of about 2″ for the rod to slip through). Then the panels had to be hemmed at the bottom because they were too long.
1. With your curtain hung on the rod, loosely pull the bottom of the panel and add 2-3 pins at the spot where the panel hits the floor plane.
Hint: Don’t pull the panel tawt because if you pin and sew at that point, your panels will result too short. You want to leave the panel(s) loose, so it just grazes the floor (this is how I feel a curtain panel looks professional. It’s not a must, but it’s my opinion).
2. With the 2-3 pins indicating the line for which to hem the panel, I used a measuring tape to keep the same length and added more pins all the way across the width of the panel.
O, and did I tell you the good part about this project – I didn’t use a sewing machine. I was totally feeling lazy that day! You can of course, but it’s not a must. That’s a major plus for my non-sewing friends!
3. Using fusible tape, I folded the bottom edge underneath and hemmed at the line of the pins.
A perfectly tailored window curtain panel that just grazes the floor. Super easy!
1. To start off, I determined how many stripes I wanted and the width of the stripes.
4 stripes and 1″ wide.
I layed my curtain panel on the floor and using a little math (big UGH), I determined my stripe placement. Using painters tape (because it’s easy to remove), I marked the 4 stripe locations.
2. Then I added the painters tape and my measuring tape to create the 1″ wide stripe.
Once the tape is in position, it’s important to press hard on it like you’re burnishing it into the fabric. You want to make sure the tape is sealed so the paint doesn’t seep underneath. I ‘burnished’ the edge with my nail.
4. Then using the wall paint that I used in the room (Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue), I painted on the stripes using a craft brush. I did not add anything to the paint to make the medium different. It’s straight paint on fabric!
Once all four stripes were done, I took off the tape. Some of the areas weren’t completely dry, and that’s okay.
5. When setting up the stripes for the second panel, I layed both curtains side by side so they were perfectly aligned. Then, by eye, I created the stripes on panel #2.
The bamboo shades (which I got from Payless Decor) are a fantastic compliment to the stark white window panels and white moulding trim. You may have seen the bamboo shades in other parts of my home (check this post out) and I adore them! They are of great quality (and an awesome price). The darker hue and texture (which is kind of difficult to tell in the picture because of the natural light coming through) are just gorgeous. On my windows you’ll find the tibet color.
O, and if you like it, would you pin it or share it? Thanks a bunch!
Have questions? Don’t be afraid to ask – I’d be happy to help!

Of course you’ll want to know How-To Best Hang Window Drapery Panels, right?
Thanks for checking out my 2-in-1 tutorial! What a great Tuesday!
Have you ever tried painting on fabric? What about embellishing window treatments? Or even making your own curtains? Share your creations with me – would love to see them!
Love it! Thanks for the continued inspiration. So you hung them upside down by creating a pocket for the rod, and then you cut off the end with the grommets? And how did you not paint your floor in the process? :-) Are they lined? I’d fear the paint seeping through!
Last question, just curious what the original length of the panel was. I’m having a very tough time finding 108″ in a simple fabric that I can jazz up (eg paint!).
Great questions Joyce! I did hang them upside down, created the rod pocket at the top with the bottom hem, then cut off the grommets to create the new bottom hem. So the paint didn’t hit the floor, I put a little piece of paper at the edge when painting. Thankfully the fabric was thick enough not to seep through, but it would be a good idea to pant on craft paper instead of bare floor like me – hehe. I think the original Ikea panel was 108″ long. There panels always come LONG and fusible tape is usually included to hem them to the length needed. Target also has longer lengths online, plus Bed Bath and Beyond. Again, great questions and good luck if you create something similar.
I like that you used the wall color for the stripes.
Great idea, and I cant believe it was basically free! I used your idea from your daughter’s curtains to make some for my dining room. I cut up a ready-made panel in a great print (from Lowe’s) and sewed it to plain curtains from Target. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
So happy to have inspired you! I’d love to see a picture of your newly created window panels.
They look awesome Jenna and I love the picture with your sweet kitty cat sitting there posing for the picture. They are too funny!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I absolutely LOVE them! I have been wanting striped curtains for a LONG time and I was gonna go with wide stripes but I love these even more!! I will try this FOR SURE!!
I’m thinking of attempting this, and wondering how you care for the curtains now. Can you just throw them in the washer like you would have done before you painted them?
To be honest, I never really thought about throwing the curtains into the washer. You might be able to add something to the paint so it wouldn’t run, but I’m not sure. Since they are a fairly inexpensive DIY project, I wasn’t too concerned about cleaning them. Yes, I will probably shake them out once in a while, but that’s it.
Thinking of creating stripes on curtains using paint?
If you’re concerned about washing the curtains, you could use fabric paint that won’t bleed or run. You would have to heat set the paint (usually with an iron) and then there’s no problem.
I found these same curtains at my local thrift store for $1 each. I use one as the outer curtain for the shower curtain. Two in my bedroom for a lighter color since at 75 I need all the help I can get to see better. Thanks for ideas to mk them more cheerful. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T06:46:10Z', 'url': 'https://www.jennaburger.com/2013/02/diy-how-to-hem-no-sew-and-add-stripes-to-curtains-using-paint/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Today is First Friday at the International Arctic Research Center and Geophysical Institute starting at 1500 Alaska Time. So when you are in town I would love for you to come. I will take this great event as an opportunity to officially launch my new fashion book at the venue. Thus, when you are reading this post early today morning it would be something like T-11 hours and hold if it were a rocket launch. 😉 But my readers can get the book already prior to the official launch at 33% off.
Actually, it’s an e-book. Those of you who have a free subscription for my free quasi-bi-weekly High Latitude Style Newsletter have had already an opportunity to take a glimpse at the inside.
This new e-book is an adult coloring book featuring outfits my readers loved. Researcher has revealed that coloring has calming benefits. Instinctively, we all knew that. Weren’t we all given a coloring book when we visited granny and the adults wanted their peace to chat? If you have kids, didn’t you use this calming benefit of coloring too to keep your kids occupied whilesitting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office or at the airport?
Example of a fashion outfit you can color after printing it from the e-book. Pages can be printed as often as you like.
Why did we forget about the power of coloring books that we used (and enjoyed) in our childhood and as young parents?
It’s all about stress, routine, and the changes related to midlife. In our professional life and/or career, we exchanged the crayons for pens, pencils and highligthers. Work, career, and midlife have brought many responsibilities. Add getting menopause, becoming an empty nester, downsizing the house, finally getting promoted or re-entering the work force, care for elderly parents and other changes related to midlife plus your body starting to complain when exercising, you name it. In other words, midlife is at times very stressful. We feel burned-out, but the pile of things to be done makes us work even harder and longer to get the job done. We make mistakes, and have to re-do everything. It’s a vicious circle of stress causing more stress and problems. Being tired and exhausted leads to mistakes and even more stress. While not all these “hurdles” applied to me (thanks goodness) I – like many other women of my age – need to recharge my batteries.
I am a big fan of coloring because of its relaxing and beneficial de-stressing power. Coloring generates wellness, quietness. It is also known to stimulate brain areas related to motoric skills, the senses and creativity. Since I consider myself as an average Jane Doe, I am sure many of you have experienced such stressful midlife situations as well. To solve our problem I created a coloring e-book with color pages of fashion. We all love fashion.
The book starts out with a brief discussion coloring supplies. It is followed by an introduction to color palettes with some inspirations on how to choose them to create certain feelings, vibes or effects. Next coloring techniques and best practices are briefly explained. After this introduction into adult coloring chapter, coloring pages follow that require different degrees of skills. Some have shadows already build in others don’t, more or less small features. The most difficult ones are the barely-there contours that just give the proportions right and permit you to unfold your own creativity.
You can print the outfit coloring pages as often as you like. This means you can look how the same outfit looks in a different color combinations or even frame your work as an Andy Warhole like wall decoration.
You can buy my Fashion Coloring Pages e-book for a short time at an introductory 33% off for just $1.99 at the link in my side bar. The price will go up in 2019. Thus, rush to get your solution to relaxation. Buy the e-book now.

Skift Take: Vacasa spent years building a business before venture capital came along for the ride at this level. Its fate now depends on how well it executes the sometimes-cumbersome task of on-boarding new properties at scale, and whether it can avoid hubris.
Venture capital has awoken in a big way to the potential of vacation rental property managers.
In the largest round ever in this facet of the vacation rental industry, Vacasa, a vacation rental property management company based in Portland, Oregon, has secured a $103.5 million Series B found of financing.
The $103.5 million injection comes as Airbnb likewise is trying to make inroads in the property management sector with the release of a set of new tools for property managers.
Riverwood Capital led the round. Past investors Level Equity and Assurant Growth Investing also participated, along with a fresh investor, NewSpring.
Vacasa manages rental properties on behalf of homeowners, covering everything from marketing the property on sites such as VRBO and Airbnb to orchestrating the housekeeping and guest interactions. Its inventory in 15 countries includes properties ranging from modest cottages to $17 million homes.
Founded in 2009, Vacasa closed its first venture capital round of $40 million 18 months ago. Since then, the private company says it has nearly tripled its revenue.
With more than 1,600 employees and newly bulked up resources, Vacasa plans to hire a hundred more employees in the next year.
Eric Breon, the startup’s co-founder and CEO, discussed his company’s business model at Skift Global Forum in New York in September. He explained the various ways that his company’s technology has been wringing inefficiencies out of an old model.
Breon said in an interview this week that the primary constraint on his company’s growth is how quickly it can add new properties.
Breon said his company’s strategy has recently been roughly split between pursuing growth organically and through acquisitions of smaller property-management companies. “We’ve launched the majority of our markets organically,” he said.
Breon said he feels pretty good at how cost-effectively Vacasa can acquire customers digitally via channels like Airbnb, HomeAway, and TripAdvisor.
The company feels confident enough that it charges property owners commissions and fees that are at the high end for the sector — closer to 35 percent than the under-20 percent that its rivals collect.
Breon said that the typical client in this market is not looking for the cheapest offering, but wants the most comprehensive service instead.
Overall, technology from multiple companies has upended the sleepy sector of vacation rentals at several touch points, as Skift Research has reported. Management companies are letting go of their offline business practices and looking for data-based judgments when it comes to setting rates, along with secure and speedy payment options.
Venture capital is making significant bets on vacation rental management.
Other players whose services somewhat overlap with Vacasa’s in the U.S. include the less-well-funded Turnkey (which has raised more than $41 million), Evolve ($19 million), Pillow ($16 million), StayAlfred ($15 million), and MyBookingPal ($10 million).
Another set of competitors includes the legacy hospitality companies, such as Wyndham and Marriott, which have significant vacation rental property networks. The largest of these is Wyndham.
Breon claimed that Wyndham and Vacasa together have about 1 percent share of the revenue generated by independently managed properties in the U.S.
Often, it’s the small, local vacation rental managers that are the fiercest competitors in the many fractured markets at resort locations worldwide.
Breton claimed he doesn’t worry that one of the large consumer players might decide to compete with the property management companies like Vacasa by getting into the sector to manage properties themselves.
There would still be enough other sites for distribution, he said.
Vacasa’s latest fundraising likely means more acquisitions are in the offing. It is the third-largest round in the vacation rental sector to date if you include the rounds raised by consumer marketplaces Airbnb and HomeAway. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T00:04:23Z', 'url': 'http://travelisthenewclub.com/vacasa-raises-103-million-as-venture-capital-commits-to-the-property-management-sector/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Midway Gardens was designed to be a European–style concert garden with space for year-round dining, drinking, and performances.
Cottage Grove at 60th St.
In its brief existence, it hosted several notable performers and entertainers. Built of yellow brick and patterned concrete block, the entire complex was adorned with intricate geometric ornament. Stretching the length of a double city block, its southwest corner was enclosed to create the Summer Garden, an open interior courtyard for dancing and eating. A band shell at one end and the Winter Garden at the opposite were flanked by low arcades with cantilevered balconies. The Winter Garden was enclosed for year-round activity and capped by a roof garden. Wright designed every detail of the complex down to the napkin rings and he commissioned Alfonso Ianelli to create sculptures to punctuate the property. In 1929, having passed through multiple hands and greatly affected by World War I and prohibition, Midway Gardens closed permanently and was demolished. A testament to the solidity of Wright’s construction, the process of tearing it down proved so difficult that it sent the demolition company into bankruptcy. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T22:08:03Z', 'url': 'https://franklloydwright.org/site/midway-gardens/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
