This past summer I had the pleasure of meeting David Ariel De Guglielmi in his charming gallery in the Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy. Batsheva and I were on vacation visiting the beautiful city of Venice, the place I studied to be a Rabbi 10 years ago, and have always wanted to return and to share with my wife. Walking along the ghetto streets pointing out all the new spaces that have popped up in the last 10 years (contrasted with the places that have been there for centuries) we came upon David’s work spilling out of the gallery on to the cobble stone streets of the ghetto. I was drawn in by the energy, variance and colors on display. David’s work is filled with a love of God and his people, full of life, vibrantce and meaning. David’s work is an expression of his passion for his Judaism and his desire to share it with everyone who comes his way. But that was not always the case; David grew up in Milan, Italy with a very limited knowledge and concern of his Jewish identity. David, who was creating art from an early age went to the art school Liceo Artistico Hajec in Milan following high school. While at school David bumped heads with the faculty and decided to leave school and go at it on his own, exploring figurative application of old techniques and informal expression, becoming fascinated with the first uses of oil painting. David’s art career took off with shows in Milan, Brescia, Genoa, and New York with work displayed at the Venice Biennale. Following a serious car accident David put painting to the side and began exploring his spirituality, dabbling in a few different disciplines until he came upon his own faith, his Jewish heritage. Related coverage May 25, 2022 1:55 pm 0 With Help of Israeli Startup, EuroLeague Players to Give Fans First-Person POV of Games For the first time, basketball fans will be able to see and hear everything players do on the court, thanks... David’s family came along for the journey, making it a group effort, where they began a life of Torah and mitzvot (Jewish teachings observances) as they continued to learn. David did not see the place for art in his new lifestyle and found a job working as a ‘mashgiach’ a kosher supervisor in a factory in Italy. David found contentment in his new spiritual path seeing to grow in other areas outside of his art. A senior kosher supervisor approached David one day and said “This Kosher supervision work is not for you. You are an artist; you have a talent, a gift. You have to use your talents to share your new found conviction and faith in God with others” David Ariel De Guglielmi in his charming gallery in the Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy. To communicate his deep love for Torah, To dialogue with any and all tourists who pass his gallery – no matter their beliefs To host intimate musical gatherings in the square in front of the gallery. To communicate the essence of God and His love for humanity, and how one can connect with God. Today David continues to paint daily in his gallery, finding harmony with his soul and it’s expression. David has returned to figurative work with depictions of daily life in the ghetto, from the young Chabad students running with their Tefillin, sharing with a new tourist, or the doors of the ancient synagogue. To David art is a tool to connect to God, seeing Jewish art as an expression of the soul to connect and share with others. I am blessed to have one of David’s pieces on my wall -traded for one of my own works -a memory of the wonderful Shabbat spent with David in Chabad’s Gam Gam restaurant, a place where all are welcome regardless of their background. Where perhaps you too will get into a discussion with David of Judaism, art, and our place in this world.

We are venturing out and about a bit more and recently had a much needed mommy-daughter date in Franklin. We hit up 10 Pins for mini-bowling for the first time and had so much fun! I can’t wait to go back and take the whole family next time. What is Mini-Bowling? If you are not familiar with mini bowling, it is a bit of a mash-up between duckpin bowling and regular bowling. It is similar to duckpin with smaller pins, shorter lanes, smaller and lighter balls, plus no finger holes in the bowling balls. The size and weight made them a great option for my girl’s smaller hands! (A little too great, maybe? The balls are so much lighter than we are used to, my little love quickly found out what the term “lofting” means. Whoops.) How Does Mini-Bowling Work? Mini-bowling is similar to regular bowling, with two rolls per bowler’s turn, automatic scoring with fun animations, and bumpers that can be set to pop up and go down automatically for kids who need them. The pin reset is a string pinsetter, meaning all the pins are connected to strings that pull up the pins after every roll. Think of a bowling pin marionette. This was a big hit and kept my girl entertained the whole time. Also, you don’t need to remember spare socks, because bowling shoes are not required to play. Your street shoes will work just fine! (Closed-toed are recommended, though, to avoid any hurt toes if a ball gets dropped.) There are six mini-bowling lanes available, and eight seats for every two lanes. The seats themselves are a neat feature and have a bit of history. They were originally theater seats at Bob Jones University in South Carolina in the 1940’s and have traveled to other locations before coming to have a home at 10 Pins. Plan Your Visit to 10 Pins Bowling In order to bowl, 10 Pins highly recommends and prefers reservations at this time. They will attempt to accommodate walk-ins, when possible. Your best bet is to call ahead, no matter what. When you call to make a reservation, you will need to pre-pay for your group, and secure your spot with a credit card. There is a maximum of six people per lane. Lanes can be rented for a full hour for $25 with 1-2 bowlers or $40 for 3-6 bowlers. They also offer half hour rates, upon request. Half hour rates are $15 for 1-2 bowlers and $25 for 3-6 bowlers. We went for the full hour, and were able to play two full games in our allotted time. This was with the two of us doing much exploring, taking pictures, and dancing to the juke box the whole time. Two games in one hour is apparently not the norm. Staff at 10 Pins said the average is three games played in an hour for up to four people while still allowing time for socializing. (We managed to have the whole alley to ourselves during our reservation slot, so we may have taken advantage of exploring the space more than we would have, had it been busier. We definitely could have been a bit more frugal with our time, but we are a bit more relaxed on our mommy dates.) We had a great time, though, and thought it was still a more than fair price with just two games! In addition to bowling, there is an arcade and table game area, bar, juke box, and large screen televisions. The games include foosball, basketball, darts, Big Buck hunting, Jenga, and Golden Tee. Games are typically $1 each, with the exception of Golden Tee. Jenga is available for free. Food at 10 Pins You can also order from Greeks Pizzeria’s full menu at the Ipad ordering station and have it delivered to your lane. Lighter snack foods, such as hot dogs, brats, chips, or nachos are available from the bar. There is a shared table space between the two lanes or tables with bar stools off to the side of the lanes for a spot to eat. The bar has eight beers on tap, ciders, seltzers, canned and bottled beers, as well soda, juice, and bottle water for beverage options. The restrooms are located in the back, by the arcade and table games, and both sets of restrooms have changing tables available. Covid-19 Measures I was very impressed with cleanliness all-around, and additional measures have been taken to support cleanliness and safety during this time. Balls and chairs are sanitized in-between groups, and partitions have been put up in-between every two lanes. There are also two ball color types, so each lane has their own easily identifiable color. There are also pump hand sanitizers at every lane table. If you are looking for more to do during your visit to Franklin, check out the Wild Geese Bookshop, Hoosier Cupboard Candy Store, or Toodleydoo Toys! We went big and added them to our date. The girl was over the moon!

A diminishing number of those who survived the WWII conflict, some not ’Merrow natives’, now live in Merrow: one of them is Percy Lewis Percy only started speaking about the war later in life, conscious that the upcoming generations need to know how awful war really is, if we are ever to learn to stop fighting each other. Percy was there on D-Day – 6 June 1944 – he landed on Sword Beach at 1600 hours carrying a No 18 wireless set, moving 3 days later to Ouistreham to a pill box at the end of a jetty. Posted from 1st Battalion Bucks regiment to 1st Battalion Black Watch at the end of June he was wounded by mortar fire on 20 July and returned to England for a total of 19 days. He went back to France, through Belgium and on to Holland where he was captured at the end of October 1944. Percy became a Prisoner of War ending up in Stalag XIB Fallingbostel in Germany, which was liberated on 16th April 1945. Stalag XIB Fallingbostel Percy was a member of the Normandy Veterans Association, now disbanded, but Mark Waring of Northcott Global Solutions arranged for a group of ‘Normandy Vets’ and helpers to go to France and stay from 3 – 8 June 2019. They visited the graves of comrades. The highlight of Percy’s visit came on 6 June at Arromanches. Percy and two other veterans were awarded the Legion d’Honneur. This was presented to Percy by his friend of 32 years, Mayor Patrick Jardin at the Remembrance Service. Percy is very modest about this honour but the many people he knows in that part of Normandy remember the British who fought on the beaches. They encourage their children to learn about the war and to learn the lessons of history.

Trying to choose a juicer is pretty hard, especially if you don’t know the specifications and how it functions. There are 4 different kinds of juicers and the best out of all these juicers, based on our own experiences, is the slow juicer. It makes very minimal noises and it doesn’t produce heat, making the juice retain the nutrients of the fruits and vegetables.

Bazaar has a strong commitment to inter-version compatibility both on disk and over the network. Newer clients should be able to interact with older versions on the server (although perhaps not at optimal speed) and older clients should also be able to communicate with newer versions of Bazaar on the server. Divergences from this rule are considered bugs and are fixed in later versions. That said, Bazaar is constantly improving and the most recent versions are the most featureful and have better performance. In particular, the Bazaar versions 2.0 and later have significant advantages over earlier versions, including a more compact disk format, faster network operations and overall performance improvements. With the 2.0 release, Bazaar has moved to a stable/development release model where the 2.x series is maintained with bugfixes releases for six months, while simultaneously the 2.(x+1) series is being developed with monthly beta releases that are suitable for everyday use. Bazaar development has a stable trunk with an extensive test suite, so there is no reason to fear using the development series for everyday use, it simply changes more often than the stable series. Many users do run the development version of Bazaar and update it regularly, including most of the Bazaar developers themselves. Software upgrades¶ Upgrading the Bazaar software is as simple as re-installing the Python package using either the latest binary package for Windows or Mac OS X, the binary package provided by your GNU/Linux distribution, or installing from the source release. See for the latest releases for all supported platforms. Bazaar’s later versions support all of the earlier disk formats (back to the very first one), so there is no need to upgrade the branches on the disk when upgrading the software. To make use of particular new features that might need updated versions on both the server and developer’s machines, it does not matter if the clients or the servers are upgraded first. Disk format upgrades¶ In its evolution, Bazaar has used a sequence of disk formats for improved storage efficiency and speed. With the new disk format released in version 2.0, there is a commitment to keep that disk format until version 3.0 is released, which has not even been planned yet. (Bazaar 2.0 was released almost two years after Bazaar 1.0.) As a result, disk format upgrades should be extremely infrequent. If there are existing branches in an older format that you would like to upgrade to the latest format, you can see the 2.0 Upgrade Guide for more information. From the system administration perspective, it is important to coordinate the timing of various upgrades in the process. First, the central branches on the server should be upgraded. Next, any local mirrors that developers have should be upgraded. Finally, developers’ local branches should be upgraded. These upgrades will require an appropriate version of the software whenever they are performed. (It is possible to upgrade branches remotely over the network, but it may be much slower.) Plugin upgrades¶ When Bazaar does update its version, plugins that use the Bazaar API may need to be upgraded to reflect changes in that API. Some plugins have strict version dependencies on the version of the Bazaar API that they will accept. If this is the case, then you should ensure that the plugins you depend on have been updated before you upgrade your Bazaar version to avoid a situation where your plugins won’t work with the installed version of Bazaar. If this does happen, then the solution is simply to reinstall the previous version of Bazaar that did work with the plugins. For installations that depend on a large number of plugins, this sort of version upgrade should be tested in a safe sandbox to ensure that the entire collection of Bazaar and its plugins can all work together.

Ever since we moved aboard the La Luna eight and a half years ago, our friends have been very supportive. One friend tickled us because she kept looking for things that would “fit” our new lifestyle and came up with bread mixes that only needed one ingredient, coats that zipped into a pocket, and a travel towel from L.L. Bean. I have to confess that I was not enamored with that travel towel. In private, we smirked a bit and exclaimed “But this is our home! We use regular towels!” Indeed, when our plush green towels started showing wear, we purchased even more plush white and buff towels, 60 inches long. We even had a set for guests. Then Margo (world cruiser and one of the folks I listen to with rapt attention) said, “You know you can’t take those towels when you cruise, don’t you?” EW was more stricken than I and I was struck dumb. “Really?”. “No, you can’t. They will take ages to dry in the tropics and will mildew.” Ick. So I did some research on microfiber towels. (You know where this is going, don’t you?) I found the towels on Amazon for a good price, but the size I wanted didn’t have hanging tags and then I found the same towels just down the road at L.L. Bean. EW and I took a short road trip before we left Maine and picked up two sets of microfiber towels so we have a set for guests. They really do dry us well, and they dry very quickly. They’ll be easy to wash out on the boat when we are far from a laundry-matt. And they take up a lot less space. Here are two lovely plush towels with two lovely flat micro-fiber towels on top of them. And here they are with one vacuum bagged plush towel. EW wouldn’t let me get rid of them, so they’re stored under our bed. This is supposed to be a long cruise and I wonder if they will still be usable (or important) eight years from now.

A spokeswoman for Israel’s former president Shimon Peres said Tuesday afternoon that he has left the hospital after he was rushed to the emergency room for the second time in two weeks. The 92-year-old Peres was taken to Tel Hashomer hospital on Sunday night with chest pains, days after he suffered a mild heart attack. After doctors detected an irregular heart rate, Peres was monitored in the hospital as a precaution.

fanatix | Football | Premier League | Manchester United FC | AGREED! Man United to land €35m midfield STAR AGREED! Man United to land €35m midfield STAR Posted by Jonathan Machlin 12/07/2015 A superstar in Premeira Liga, Nicolas Gaitan has caught the eye of Louis van Gaal. Could Gaitan be a difference maker for Man United? Man United are on the verge of sealing a deal for Benfica star midfielder Nicolas Gaitan. According to the Metro, Gaitan’s agent Cassiano Pereira confirmed the interest of Man United in his 27-year-old Argentinian client, and said that a cash-plus-player swap for his client is in the works. Pereira also represents Man United’s defender Rafael and indicated that the 25-year-old could be included in the final deal. “It’s true,” Pereira said. “Benfica and Man United are in negotiations over Gaitan – and one offer includes Rafael to join Benfica.” Gaitan was signed by the Portuguese league in 2010 for €8.4 million after an impressive run with Boca Juniors in Argentina. Gaitan won Portugese League Breakthrough Player of the Year honors in 2011 after scoring a career-high 9 goals and winning the Taca de Liga title. Last November Gaitan signed a contract extension with Benfica worth €35 million. The club would go on to win the Premeira Liga title for the second year in a row.

By 1985, the original Masters of the Universe line was three years old–a pretty long time for a boys’ action figure brand, if not that impressive next to its big sister Barbie. The He-Man cartoon was at its peak and She-Ra was just about to hit. While He-Man and his arch-nemesis Skeletor had already become cultural icons, Mattel decided the skull-headed necromancer might be getting a little long in the tooth. It was time to up the ante against He-Man and his allies–it was time for the Evil Horde. While Skeletor and his minions were all based on the same two or three body types, Hordak and his Evil Horde benefited heavily from MOTU’s success: all five of the original 1985 Evil Horde figures received brand-new tooling (and except for Hordak, they were all entirely new sculpts). What’s more, the ancillary fiction (the mini-comics and, later, the She-Ra cartoon) established Hordak not only as being more powerful than Skeletor, but as having been Skeletor’s master (or at least mentor) at one point. Masters of the Universe Classics Hordak arrives as one of the most anticipated figures in the line yet. While he received an impressive “staction” from the Four Horsemen and NECA, this represents the first new Hordak action figure in twenty-four years. Packaging: I love the retro packaging look of MOTUC, and Hordak is no exception. However, after some recent fan comments regarding the figure’s positioning, I’m paying more attention to how it looks MOC. Hordak’s head is fully visible, and the figure is showcased well. However, the detailed top of his staff is covered up by the MOTUC banner, which is going to disappoint MOC collectors. Mattel may want to consider moving the banner to the back of the card, rather than the front of the bubble; while this might obscure the banner a bit, it will make sure the figure itself is being showcased, which is what’s really important, after all. These are the actual products, not advertisements for the brand. The “Evil Horde” sticker is a nice touch and a nostalgic throwback to the original sub-line. Design & Sculpting: In Mastering the Universe, toy designer Roger Sweet says he came up with Hordak’s head design from a Hollywood witch doctor’s mask. Let’s face it–no matter how much you love him, Skeletor was a rather drab-looking villain, the sort of skeleton-faced evil sorcerer who had graced the covers of paperback fantasy novels for decades. Hordak’s design was a bit more interesting, from the more diverse color scheme to the interesting, if goofy-looking, bat accessory. The Horsemen went all-out on their staction re-design of Hordak, as they did with many of the 2002 versions. MOTUC is much more about staying true to the original design, and that’s what the Four Horsemen have done here. The sculpting, while not as detailed and exaggerated as the staction, is still quite good and some of the best work we’ve seen on MOTUC so far. I particularly like the head, but there’s some great work around the edges of the “cowl” and on the bat on his chest as well. In terms of new tooling, Hordak has new forearms, calves, and feet, and also features the longer loincloth first (and last) seen on King Grayskull. I guess wearing the furry underwear long was the style back in the old days. My favorite part of the design is the fact that the head is actually a separate piece from the mantle, meaning he can look in all directions without the big oval bit moving with him. It creates an interesting, almost regal effect when his head turns to the left or right but his mantle remains still. The mantle is a separate piece from the armor; to take off the armor, you pop the head off, remove the mantle and cape, then remove the armor. His armband is also removable. One of the more controversial aspects of this figure has been the flat abdomen piece used to represent the lower part of Hordak’s armor. The 1985 Hordak wore a cuirass that covered his entire torso all the way to his belt. Had that been implemented for MOTUC, it would have prevented the figure from having any useful abdominal articulation, so the Horsemen created a flat abdomen piece to represent the smooth surface of the armor while preserving the articulation. Had the ab piece been sculpted with muscles and molded in gray, it would have looked like the Ruthless Leader of the Evil Horde was wearing a half-shirt–and that would be bad. But if it was molded in black (as the “armor” abs are), it would have looked like he was wearing a tight shirt underneath the armor, and probably wouldn’t have been very noticeable. This is the very rare case where, in my opinion, the Horsemen made the wrong call. It just doesn’t look right. (On a side note: a medieval knight wearing a large cuirass probably wouldn’t have been able to bend his torso very much, so if they’d gone with the true cuirass and obscured the ab crunch articulation, it would have still been accurate.) Plastic & Paint: Hordak’s arms and legs are molded primarily in gray, while his torso is done in black–largely as a consequence of the decision to use the flat ab “armor” piece, although again, if it had been molded in gray with muscles, it would have looked like a muscle shirt and, thus, even sillier than your average MOTU character already is. It does, however, make Hordak look a bit off when his armor’s been removed. Oh, and don’t forget the armband! It tends to get a little loose when you’re moving the figure’s arms, but it’s tight once you’ve got him in a pose. I would have rather it just be sculpted on, but I’m sure this helped save on new tooling. I suppose they could have glued it on, but where’s the fun in that? Seriously–I’m sure fans would rather be able to remove it. The most ambitious and also most disappointing aspect of the figure are the paint applications. The worst is the silver drybrush used on the belt and other armor parts. I think the goal was to approximate the look of burnished steel, but it’s uneven, blotchy, and a little sloppy here and there. The red jewel beneath his chin isn’t fully painted on any of the four Hordaks I received (all for friends, except mine of course). But the paint applications on the head, the red bat symbols and the drybrush on the loincloth all look good. And if you look close, you’ll see Hordak has pupils! I’d rather he didn’t, personally, but it’s subtle enough that you probably won’t even notice unless you’re looking for it. Articulation: Hordak features ball joints at the shoulders and hips, hinge joints at the elbows, knees, ankles and abdomen, and swivels at the biceps, wrists, waist and calves. He also has some of the best “rocker” ankle joints we’ve seen yet, probably thanks to the new tooling on the calves. The “cowl” limits the head articulation a little, but probably not much more than it would to a person in real life. Accessories: Hordak comes with an updated version of the crossbow the original figure came with, a staff, and a bat. I never liked the crossbow that came with the original figure–what the heck does a powerful sorcerer need with a crossbow? But I applaud Mattel and the Horsemen’s dedication to providing everything that came with the original figure. The staff is much cooler–an addition created for the 2002 update (whether it originated on the 2002 cartoon or from the Horsemen themselves, I’m not sure). It’s a slightly simpler version of the staff that came with the staction, and as such, it has some great detailing and fairly good paint work (although that messy, light burnished silver is still present). A little tip: if the spikes below the ball that the bat is sitting on aren’t lined up properly, you can twist the top of the staff (just under the ball) gentle to put it in the right position. On my figure at least, the ball section appears to be designed to move and not glued on. (Thanks to Poester Jim for that tip.) The little bat is another nod to the original 1980s figure (and no, it doesn’t appear to be Imp–note the tusks on the bat, as opposed to fangs). It has a great, detailed sculpt and some nice paint work, and can be fitted firmly on either wrist. Quality Control: Aside from the aforementioned issues with the paint and the spikes on the staff, nothing. No significantly loose joints, no broken parts. Overall: [raven 4] The paint issues and the flat abdomen, coupled with the cost, bring down what’s otherwise a five-raven figure. Having picked up two superbly-painted NECA Terminator figures for half this price at TRU recently, I’m really starting to think Mattel needs to up their game on the paint applications at this price point. I suspect NECA is producing more of each Terminator figure than Mattel is of each MOTUC figure, so the mass-market excuse doesn’t work. I wonder if Mattel is still using the same factories for this line as they do for everything else they produce. If so, they may want to start looking outside their “comfort zone” at some of the factories that produce figures for NECA, McFarlane, and Mezco and so forth, and consider having a few contracts with these factories for collector-specific products requiring a greater amount of complexity and detail. But these issues aside, Hordak is still one of the best MOTUC figures to date, on par with Skeletor, Beast Man and Mer-Man. Masters of the UniverseMattelMOTUC Previous It Figures #36 (interactive) Next New Topless Robot list: Ten More Famous Geek Arguments 20 Comments PrfktTear No problems so far, and I've had it for over a year. Wii pads? Like the controllers? I have the NES classic controller, it works pretty good. I don't like using it for N64 games, but otherwise it works fine. You can download oldschool Nintento games and games from other developers like Sega, etc. July 2, 2009 Mark I love my WWE wrestling games and Street Fighter, some PPG's and some FPS'S aswell. Have you had any problems with your WII, also how do you think the WII pads would work with a WWE game? Didn't realise you could download the old games for it. I miss playing Mario so much. I had a load of cool games for the PS1 and PS2…could have still been playing them. July 2, 2009 PrfktTear My NES STILL works. Of course now that I can just download all my old games onto my Wii, I just use that. Still, the fact that the little red power light still comes on is awesome. I've toyed with getting an XBOX or PS2, but in the end I just don't game enough to justify one. I like mostly side scrollers, a few RPGs & FPSs. July 2, 2009 Mark I honestly wish I had kept my Nintendo, PS1, PS2 and Commadore 64, sold them a few months back….at least they all worked. If I get another console I am going for a PS3 or a WII. No way would I go back to XBOX or recommend them to anyone….over hyped….I am not even a hardcore gamer by any means I play the XBOX 360 for maybe 3 hours a week if that. I am so disgusted. July 2, 2009 PrfktTear I have never owned a Sega, XBOX or Sony game system. I have been 100% Nintendo. NES, GB, SNES, N64, NGC, DS, Wii!!! Makes me want to break out my N64 this weekend for some Mario 64! July 2, 2009 Mark I deffinently an not to interested in POP or NA. It really just depends on how cool the figure looks when its made….so far they have all lived up to my expectations. Having said that it also depends on money….my XBOX has just experienced 'The Red Ring Of Death' so I am might have to look for a new console….every console I have owned from the 80's has been great and worked well, I get an XBOX360 and in less than a year it breaks down….PlayStation and Nintendo all the way. July 2, 2009 Jim I will get Kobra Kahn though…since he's on skeletor's team and he's best buds with Webstor! 😀 July 2, 2009 Jim @prfkttear: I think I read toy guru said a 200x heman would be a variant. I was never a fan of the "anime" style heman so when they do 200x heman I seriously hope it has not anime body parts. Anime in a barbarian type of figure line just doesn't fit to me. It's like Anime is Japanese and Barbarian to me seems American y'know July 2, 2009 PrfktTear There aren't any that I DON'T want. I'm looking foward to the Horde & Snakemen. As a kid I always preferred Skeletor's troops though. I'm also looking forward to the NA villains. As far as 200x figures with the '80s bodies, if it comes to that, I hope those are just secondary figures/variants in the line and not the main figure being offered for the month. July 2, 2009 Jim Which MOTUC figures are you planning on getting? Well…which are you planning on NOT getting. Here's my list of UNWANTEDS: 1)POP 2)NA 3)Evil Whore 4)Snackmen 5)200x figures maked with classic 80's bodies (if they do 200x figures…they should make them have unique sculpts like 200x merman) July 2, 2009 Mark @Jim, you did the right thing. I have bought Transformers and after getting them open I have found faults and issues with the line in general like Classics 2.0 and Animated. As much as I like Classics I found the new line to be full of QC problems….like Powerglides wing not connecting to the body, parts of Onslaught popping out of place and Sunstreaker not staying together. As for Animated as much as I enjoyed the cartoon and some of the designs and G1 nods I couldn't get paste the childish pre-school look of the toys, I was ashamed going to buy them and displaying them so sold them all. I anm only geting the MOTUC figures I really like. July 2, 2009 Jim @prfkttear: Yeah..tell me about it…Hordak man…Hordak. I can't believe i sold it too, but with all this talk of his ab armor and my own thoughts of it itching in the back of my head, I couldn't keep it. I just can't afford to keep something I won't display on my shelf. It's funny. Now, I won't be collecting any of the Horde or Snakemen due to the Ab Armor. lol I think the only reason why I got into the Horde was due to the 200x Neca Staticons. Works of art, indeed! 🙂 I really hope you opened your Hordak staticon up prfkttear! The 80's Horde and the Snakemen never really interested me. I felt that Skeletor villians had more "substance". They seemed a lot more creative. While the Horde seemed evil by just looking more scary and grotesque than skeletors henchmen. The snakemen? Villians that are all snakes are such a bore to me. July 1, 2009 PrfktTear Sold Hordak? After just a month? I suppose, better to sell now whlie the gettin' is good. Still, I don't think I could let go of Hordak, even if I hated him. July 1, 2009 Jim @Mark: I LOVE Hordak even though I like Skeletor better but the 4horsemen really screwed up the ab armor. Can't blame them though…Mattel's a pretty frugal company with their obsession of reusable parts. It's funny. Hordak LOOKS evil but if you think about it…Skeletor IS PURE EVIL. Hordak at least understands loyalty and serves the Horde Prime. Skeletor is loyal to no one and wants to rule all. Plus, as regal as that neck piece makes Hordak…it reminds me a bit of Queen Elizabeth lol lol July 1, 2009 Mark WOW. Jim selling a MOTUC….Hordak especially. WOW. I told you he wasn't as cool as Skeletor. July 1, 2009 Jim Sold my Hordak. Due to the Belly Armor, he just doesn't look as "solid" as the rest of the villians. I think it's because the top armor is SO wide at the "rib cage" section and then the belly/abless section is thin…looks wierd. July 1, 2009 Mark Probably be few weeks before mine arrives although my Zodac is finally arriving this wekk. July 1, 2009 PrfktTear OKay, so after pulling him out of his package, I have decided I don't like the flat black piece and would have prefered sculpted abs. I also almost perfer him without his "cowl". I kind of wish they'd taken a smidge more influence from the Filmation look, otherwise he's great. On my Hordak's staff, the spikes below the ball that the bat is sitting on aren’t lined up properly either, but it really isn't a big deal to me. Otherwise I like the figure, and he's fine as far as QC is concerned. No, the paint apps aren't perfect as Poe mentioned, but, I guess thats something to live with. My figure's left foot is a little loose, thats my only complaint. Overall I'm happy with him, and for the time being he's taken over the bad guys with Skeletor in the background. I've got He-Man posed shrugging and Stratos turned around waving goodbye. I'm looking forward to next month! He-Man will finally have some HE-Roic help! June 30, 2009 Mark @PrfktTear….I can just see Hordak sitting late at night watching QVC and see the Ab Solution and saying time to get back in shape and take out my former apprentice. June 27, 2009 ScienceFriction I really like this figure, even though the flat abbs do detract from it. I pretty much just look at that pictures and check my bank account (woops time to pay tuition again) and wish I could buy these new He-Man figures. I still prefer Skeletor though, just something about Skull headed bad guys that are take the cake. I've been lurking for a bit and I love your reviews Poe, so I hope you recover from your burn out before too long. 🙂

“Wow, this is actually very beautiful….” I whispered to myself in disbelief as I sat there staring at the captivating sunset over Lake Chivero. The sun was a soft burnt orange, and looking at it made it hard for me to believe that that was the same sun that had blazed hot at midday, and even with dark glasses on, one still hadn’t been able to look at it. Now, there it was, with a tender yet majestic glow, with the water glistening in harmony to it. When I heard that we will be watching the sunset every day at camp, I was glad only because it meant time to sit and rest, not run around trying to sort out my college application issues. I really didn’t think I’d actually care about watching the sun itself. Growing up in a busy world, trying to juggle school and family responsibilities didn’t leave time for admiring nature, especially things such as sunsets. To me they had always seemed like a waste of time. However, when I finally sat and actually enjoyed the sunset seriously for the first time in my life, it really struck me how beautiful it was. Just sitting there not doing anything but gazing and being mindful, made me feel such a peace I had never experienced. I felt like all along I had missed out, having been too busy to appreciate all the free gifts I can’t put a price tag on, that God has given us. As I sat watching the golden orb descend over the water, I recalled many episodes of my life, but failed to find one that had struck me in the same way the sunset was. Chenai on the assault course at USAP bootcamp. It also occurred to me how I had failed to appreciate many other gifts I had gotten for free. The jokes we shared over simple meals, the hearty laughs we had as the USAP family as we watched the naughty monkeys that scrambled for banana peels, even the heated discussions I had with my group mates. I appreciated all those moments of our weeklong USAP bootcamp, but the part I looked forward to the most became the daily sunsets. It amuses me now, that all it took for me to learn how to be really grateful for all the free gifts I have in life, was simply watching the sunset mindfully. Chenai Mangachena is a USAP student who attended Mufakose 2 High School for O level and currently studies A level at Hellenic Academy on a Makomborero Scholarship.

One of the worst experiences I had as a school administrator was enduring the agony of a strategic planning process led by business consultants who didn't understand the complexities of schools--especially the relationships involved. In the end they did more damage than good, leaving me with the challenge of restoring trust and trying to maximize the benefits that could be gained anyway. ________________ We needed to renew our long-term plan, so the board and I went through the normal steps of identifying consultants who had the reputation and experience we felt was needed for our school. The recession that started in 2008 took a heavy toll on our community, decimating housing values and forcing families to reconsider their educational options. This school was in an already very competitive school market, and the economic downturn made it even more so. Bringing in expert help to create a strategic plan was a significant investment. One of our school board members made a very generous offer to fund the strategic plan ONLY IF we would use the company their family had used previously for providing such services for another non-profit. After interviewing this firm, we collectively decided to accept these conditions. And that was the beginning of one of the most stressful and exhausting years of my life. This story could go on for many paragraphs, so let me summarize the lessons learned and then we can have a conversation if you want to know more about the details--especially how to determine the best way to start your growth plan. Lesson #1: Schools are Different While many of the techniques of effective strategic planning are portable across industries, the structure and dynamics of educational institutions are unique. These differences aren't just contrived in order to insulate school leaders from change and outside guidance. Strategic planning for a school should be tailored to the specific context, including the unique strengths, structures, relationships, history, and community of the school. The planning team must also understand the inter-relationships of the Four Domains of School Design along with the Seven Drivers that define the organization. Schools are different. Lesson #2: Boundaries are Different The strategic planning process for a school must consider the boundaries between governance and administration/management, along with the importance of setting accurate expectations for parents, faculty, alumni, and others who may be invited to contribute to the dialogue. Involving the school's stakeholders can be valuable and productive IF the forums are managed wisely. Those involved in funding this initiative later revealed alternative motives that undermined trust among the board and administration. Careful management of donor goals and expectations is another lesson learned from this experience. Lesson #3: Relationships are Different The very nature of the relationship with employees (teachers, staff, coaches, etc.), clients (parents, students, grandparents, guardians), and funders (donors, bank(s), etc.) is absolutely different in schools from other types of businesses or organizations because of: Sharp variations in perceptions/expectations The emotional fear and mistrust that is too common, and The language/cultural barriers that frequently impair communication. Ignoring these critical relationship differences is a big risk to the planning process, which is why business consultants without deep education experience can often cause considerable disruption to a school. ________________ The journey of completing a strategic plan should be as valuable as the resulting documentation because of the meaningful engagement that can be achieved. The goal is to create a strategic vision to embrace for the future, while also equipping the leadership to achieve it through short-term tactical planning that produces breakthrough momentum and results. It is through this difficult strategic planning experience from years ago, and from our work with thousands of schools over the last decade, that we created a data-driven strategic planning process that uncovers the individual and organizational strengths of the school to create a plan that delivers an exciting path forward. No matter the size of your school, planning can be an affirming, community-building experience when it's done right.

Do you have a concrete floor that is deteriorating? Are you noticing cracking? In many cases, slight cracking is nothing to be concerned about. As concrete dries, small cracks can appear due to the excess moisture that evaporates which causes it to shrink. If the cracks in your basement floor are about 1/8″ or smaller, it is highly likely that everything is simply fine. On the other hand, if they are larger you should have them inspected. Cracks that are a 1/2″ or larger, even if there is no major cause, should be repaired as they can become a hazard for tripping. Crack in foundation can be harmful Furthermore, significant cracking can lead to moisture seeping into your basement through the floor which will eventually cause you many more problems in the future. If it is time to replace your concrete floor, Rooter-Man is the company for you. Our concrete flooring professionals will determine the causation of your deteriorating floor. It could be due to shrinkage, stress, poor installation, or simply normal settling of the home after construction. We have many years of experience in concrete flooring and will ensure that your new floor is installed correctly, using the best concrete formula for the type of project. When you choose Rooter-Man you can rest assured that your floor will last for many years without issues.

Tonight I went to the Guggenheim to listen to Gordon White and D.W. Pasulka talk about Magic, technology, art, UFOS and other things. It was super fun. Some of my main take aways are : Where do ideas come from? Answer: not us (maybe aliens, another universe, spirits what have you) I have been thinking a lot about this lately, since listening to a vox podcast Lian sent me, and reading Alan Moore’s Promethea. And it seems, for Moore, ideas come from idea space, or the immateria. Perhaps we can call it the noosphere. Basically ideas come from something, like gas comes from distilling oil. I am down with this idea. For me the key is to connect the idea with the body, and for this I have a friend to thank, but I’m not sure if I can link to his blog. We can have all these ideas running around in ideaspace but until they are affirmed by the body and perhaps manifested in physical space who cares. And even more radical, what if the ideas are themselves material, what if material is not even material, but immaterial or ideas. This is all very confusing. 2. Our environment is technology. Gordon sort of mentioned this and I wish this was discussed a bit more, but this is about the whole fake distinction between nature and culture. That there is something pure that is nature, and something artificial that is culture. Well no. We are in a cybernetic relationship with nature and we are using technology to shape nature, shape our environment. We live in tech, we live in praxis. Also there is the idea that we think with objects. Pasulka told a story about someone who visited a friend with some sort of Roswell like object in his backpack and his friend had dreams about this object. There is a relationship about being in proximity to objects (ie habitat) that works on consciousness. The body matters and the material matter. 3. There are protocols for accessing idea space – they are probably related to ascetic practices, but who knows maybe tantra too. In any case, they are antithetical to how most people in the west live life, and they definitely fall along class lines. My take away- we need to support body practice education so that everyone can access the ideaspace. (This was related to an amazing question and it completely spot on). In part, that is what RuneSoup is doing – democratizing the protocols for this sort of immateria contact. But there is really a lot more to be done. It is sort of frightening. 4. Art – why and why are we having this discussion in an art museum. There was a notion that artists are at the forefront of these ideas, or that art can put us into a psychic state that helps us absorb these ideas. This was not fleshed out as much. There were some art pieces presented during the talk. Most of the art pieces were technological creations and I could not help but think of Flusser’s Philosophy of Photography book. For him, an imagistic world (world of the cave paintings) works by magic. That is the logic. Symbols have/are power. In the written world, images are demystified and explained through words. Now words have power (codes of laws and so forth, think of performative speech). In the technological world, images come back but they are part of a discourse created by apparatuses. We absorb images. Apparatuses (like the iphone) work on us in a sort of somatic/neurochemical way. (I’m taking liberties) The point is to reflect on what the apparatus wants you to experience, and what discourse is the image part of. I think about this and Gordon’s notion of the campfire’s edge – where the shaman keeps the other world at bay at the edge of the campfire, but that is where the potentially interesting things (the Gnarl in the worlds of Rudy Rucker) are. The technological image exists at the campfires edge. The goal of art in the technological age, when all art are products of an apparatus within a discourse (even painting), is to push the boundaries of the edge (of the apparatus and perhaps the discourse). This is sort of depressing for me. I always like to think of art as something beautiful and personally expressive, but perhaps that is just an artistic discourse. And perhaps within that discourse an artist can continue to push the boundaries. In thinking of my class on Robots, Computers, and Film, I am thinking about why this class is interesting. What can we learn from it? What is the boundary that each film is pushing? What discourse is it creating?

It was a hot day yesterday and forecast to be hotter today. I hate sitting in traffic in a car on a hot day, but meandering along quiet country lanes in an air-conditioned car on a hot day is rather pleasant, so that's what we did. I've been maintaining a list of the places in East Yorkshire and the progress towards completing a good standard of them. This, to me, means all public roads added, with names where possible, and the obvious PoIs, such as churches, schools, post offices, pubs and some shops. More is better, but this will give a usable map and a good framework for people to add extra stuff to. There were some villages in the north of the county that were partly complete so we thought we would take a look at them and try to bring them to a good standard. There are also some country lanes that were missing, some of which we could take in. I like the countryside in this part of the county, known as the Yorkshire Wolds - there's always something to see. We saw pheasants, partridges, yellow hammers, linnets and a kestrel. The verges were full of flowers, especially meadow cranesbill. The most northerly place we visited is the hamlet of Fordon. There's not much of the hamlet in the picture, but in fact there's not that much more to the whole place, but the view is great. We did venture out of the East Riding a few times to join up a few roads to roads in North Yorkshire. There was a noticeable surface change at the boundary - perhaps a good clue to where unmarked boundaries lie. In the end we completed seven villages. All of them had had some useful work done before by other people and some by someone I have come across before. Once more his tracks are pretty good, but some of the names on roads have clearly been copied from other sources. They are right now, but it does make me cross.

Contractors with Rotchey Inc. are moving into the main construction phase of Toledo's new sewer plant and remain on track to complete the facility by May of next year. Started recently were excavation and fixtures (pictured) related to two large clarifiers, intended to remove sludge from influent by scraping particulate matter from the top of settling water. Also expected to see construction begin soon are a new pump station, an operations building, and an aerobic digester, followed by construction of a sludge drying bed by the end of the year. This project, expected to cost a total or around $9.6 million, had been undertaken by the city with the use of $6.4 million in state and county grants, as well as up to $9.1 million in loans from the Public Works Trust Fund.

At ERGO, we believe protecting our natural resources starts with the small things – but that they can have a big impact. All our employees have an active part to play, by saving paper and water and reducing waste to the benefit of the environment. Our headquarter has a dedicated Waste Management Officer The fact that we have established the function of a dedicated Waste Management Officer at our Düsseldorf headquarter bears witness to the high priority we at ERGO give to avoiding unnecessary waste. The Waste Management Officer’s remit includes ensuring waste is disposed of appropriately, supervising the companies we contract to perform these services, acting as a knowledgeable point of contact on key legal and liability issues surrounding waste, and monitoring compliance with existing standards and regulations. In addition to this, the Waste Management Officer ensures companies working on our site separate waste correctly and adhere to their other legal responsibilities. These issues are central when it comes to building conversion work or matters connected to our technical systems and related disposal issues. A helping hand in ERGO intranet ERGO’s employees can visit the “Environment” section in the Company intranet to find a clutch of useful tips for eco-consciousness in their day-to-day work, including matters of waste disposal, saving paper and water. For instance, employees are urged to avail themselves of pre-used filing folders wherever possible, especially when archiving docu-ments, and to order refillable office supplies rather than disposable products. There’s paper-saving advice and recommendations to print and photocopy on both sides of the paper. Our water-saving tips include making use of dual-flush functions when flushing toilets, after which employees can save energy and help protect the environment by using cold water to wash their hands and keep water consumption down by turning off the tap while lathering up. And every little helps: If all employees were to follow these rec-ommendations all the time, they could slash their water consumption by approximately half.

We like taking our pets out whenever we can, on short trips, family visits, when running errands, or taking a vacation. While we enjoy the rides, it is super important to keep ourselves and our pets safe. Here are our 6 safety tips for driving with your pets. 1. Keep your pet restrained Our pets may like to have complete freedom and mobility in our cars. However, loose pets can become a dangerous distraction for the driver. Unrestrained pets can go under the driver’s feet, jump on the dashboard, or on the driver’s lap and become a deadly distraction. Also, in case of an accident they can get injured or escape from the vehicle. Use harnesses, crates and other products to keep your pet restrained and safe. 2. Never sit your pet in the front seat It may be fun having our pet nearby in the front seat, but this is not safe. Just as with children, pets could be injured if the airbag deploys. Never keep them in the front seat restrained or unrestrained. The back seats are perfect! 3. Keep your pet inside the car while driving Pets love having their heads or paws out of the window and feel the breeze. This is not a good idea from a safety perspective. Small rocks or other debris could end up in the pet’s eyes or mouth, leading to possible expensive eye surgery. 4. Turn off power windows If you have power windows, beware. Your pet could accidentally open and close them by just pressing the button with their cute paws. This may be particularly dangerous because they can close the window on their neck and choke. It’s not worth the risk. 5. Never leave your pet in a hot car A car gets hot really quickly under the burning sun. Never leave your pet in the car unattended, especially on hot days. Even if you leave the window slightly open and run for a quick errand, your pet is in serious danger of heatstroke. A few minutes can be fatal. Take your pet with you or make other arrangements for them. In fact, it’s best to never leave your pet alone in the car regardless of weather. 6. Take breaks during long drives If you are going for a long, exciting drive with your pet, don’t forget to take regular breaks to let your pet stretch, move a bit, and do its business. It will not only help them, but you will feel better and enjoy the ride more. These are our 6 safety tips for driving with your pet. When you can’t take your pet where they need to go, you can request a ride with PAWS En Route. Our trained drivers will transport your pet (and you) safely and comfortably within the Toronto area.

There was a momentary silence. The Duchess leaned back in her chair, and Mr. Hebblethwaite, always the courteous host, talked for a while to the woman on his left. The Duchess, however, reopened the subject a few minutes later. "I come, you must remember, Mr. Hebblethwaite," she observed, "from long generations of soldiers, and you, as you have reminded me, from a long race of yeomen and tradespeople. Therefore, without a doubt, our point of view must be different. That, perhaps, is what makes conversation between us so interesting. To me, a conflict in Europe, sooner or later, appears inevitable. With England preserving a haughty and insular neutrality, which, from her present military condition, would be almost compulsory, the struggle would be between Russia, France, Italy, Germany, and Austria. Russia is an unknown force, but in my mind I see Austria and Italy, with perhaps one German army, holding her back for many months, perhaps indefinitely. On the other hand, I see France overrun by the Germans very much as she was in 1870. I adore the French, and I have little sympathy with the Germans, but as a fighting race I very reluctantly feel that I must admit the superiority of the Germans. Very well, then. With Ostend, Calais, Boulogne, and Havre seized by Germany, as they certainly would be, and turned into naval bases, do you still believe that England's security would be wholly provided for by her fleet?" Mr. Hebblethwaite smiled. "Duchess," he said, "sooner or later I felt quite sure that our conversation would draw near to the German bogey. The picture you draw is menacing enough. I look upon its probability as exactly on the same par as the overrunning of Europe by the yellow races." "You believe in the sincerity of Germany?" she asked. "I do," he admitted firmly. "There is a military element in Germany which is to be regretted, but the Germans themselves are a splendid, cultured, and peace-loving people, who are seeking their future not at the point of the sword but in the counting-houses of the world. If I fear the Germans, it is commercially, and from no other point of view." "I wish I could feel your confidence," the Duchess sighed. "I have myself recently returned from Berlin," Mr. Hebblethwaite continued. "Busby, as you know, has been many times an honoured guest there at their universities and in their great cities. He has had every opportunity of probing the tendencies of the people. His mind is absolutely and finally made up. Not in all history has there ever existed a race freer from the lust of bloodthirsty conquest than the German people of to-day." Mr. Hebblethwaite concluded his sentence with some emphasis. He felt that his words were carrying conviction. Some of the conversation at their end of the table had been broken off to listen to his pronouncements. At that moment his butler touched him upon the elbow. "Mr. Bedells has just come up from the War Office, sir," he announced. "He is waiting outside. In the meantime, he desired me to give you this." The butler, who had served an archbishop, and resented often his own presence in the establishment of a Radical Cabinet Minister, presented a small silver salver on which reposed a hastily twisted up piece of paper. Mr. Hebblethwaite, with a little nod, unrolled it and glanced towards the Duchess, who bowed complacently. With the smile still upon his lips, a confident light in his eyes, Mr. Hebblethwaite held out the crumpled piece of paper before him and read the hurriedly scrawled pencil lines: "Germany has declared war against Russia and presented an ultimatum to France. I have other messages." Mr. Hebblethwaite was a strong man. He was a man of immense self-control. Yet in that moment the arteries of life seemed as though they had ceased to flow. He sat at the head of his table, and his eyes never left those pencilled words. His mind fought with them, discarded them, only to find them still there hammering at his brain, traced in letters of scarlet upon the distant walls. War! The great, unbelievable tragedy, the one thousand-to-one chance in life which he had ever taken! His hand almost fell to his side. There was a queer little silence. No one liked to ask him a question; no one liked to speak. It was the Duchess at last who murmured a few words, when the silence had become intolerable. "It is bad news?" she whispered. "It is very bad news indeed," Mr. Hebblethwaite answered, raising his voice a little, so that every one at the table might hear him. "I have just heard from the War Office that Germany has declared war against Russia. You will perhaps, under the circumstances, excuse me." He rose to his feet. There was a queer singing in his ears. The feast seemed to have turned to a sickly debauch. All that pinnacle of success seemed to have fallen away. The faces of his guests, even, as they looked at him, seemed to his conscience to be expressing one thing, and one thing only—that same horrible conviction which was deadening his own senses. He and the others—could it be true?—had they taken up lightly the charge and care of a mighty empire and dared to gamble upon, instead of providing for, its security? He thrust the thought away; and the natural strength of the man began to reassert itself. If they had done ill, they had done it for the people's sake. The people must rally to them now. He held his head high as he left the room. CHAPTER XXXVIII Norgate found himself in an atmosphere of strange excitement during his two hours' waiting at the House of Commons on the following day. He was ushered at last into Mr. Hebblethwaite's private room. Hebblethwaite had just come in from the House and was leaning a little back in his chair, in an attitude of repose. He glanced at Norgate with a faint smile. "Well, young fellow," he remarked, "come to do the usual 'I told you so' business, I suppose?" "Don't be an ass!" Norgate most irreverently replied. "There are one or two things I must tell you and tell you at once. I may have hinted at them before, but you weren't taking things seriously then. First of all, is Mr. Bullen in the House?" "Of course!" "Could you send for him here just for a minute?" Norgate pleaded. "I am sure it would make what I am going to say sound more convincing to you." Hebblethwaite struck a bell by his side and despatched a messenger. "How are things going?" Norgate asked. "France is mobilising as fast as she can," Hebblethwaite announced. "We have reports coming in that Germany has been at it for at least a week, secretly. They say that Austrian troops have crossed into Poland. There isn't anything definite yet, but it's war, without a doubt, war just as we'd struck the right note for peace. Russia was firm but splendid. Austria was wavering. Just at the critical moment, like a thunderbolt, came Germany's declaration of war. Here's Mr. Bullen. Now go ahead, Norgate." Mr. Bullen came into the room, recognised Norgate, and stopped short. "So you're here again, young man, are you?" he exclaimed. "I don't know why you've sent for me, Hebblethwaite, but if you take my advice, you won't let that young fellow go until you've asked him a few questions." "Mr. Norgate is a friend of mine," Hebblethwaite said. "I think you will find—" "Friend or no friend," the Irishman interrupted, "he is a traitor, and I tell you so to his face." "That is exactly what I wished you to tell Mr. Hebblethwaite," Norgate remarked, nodding pleasantly. "I just want you to recall the circumstances of my first visit here." "You came and offered me a bribe of a million pounds," Mr. Bullen declared, "if I would provoke a civil war in Ireland in the event of England getting into trouble. I wasn't sure whom you were acting for then, but I am jolly certain now. That young fellow is a German spy, Hebblethwaite." "Mr. Hebblethwaite knew that quite well," admitted Norgate coolly. "I came and told him so several times. I think that he even encouraged me to do my worst." "Look here, Norgate," Hebblethwaite intervened, "I'm certain you are driving at something serious. Let's have it." "Quite right, I am," Norgate assented. "I just wanted to testify to you that Mr. Bullen's reply to my offer was the patriotic reply of a loyal Irishman. I did offer him that million pounds on behalf of Germany, and he did indignantly refuse it, but the point of the whole thing is—my report to Germany." "And that?" Mr. Hebblethwaite asked eagerly. "I reported Mr. Bullen's acceptance of the sum," Norgate told them. "I reported that civil war in Ireland was imminent and inevitable and would come only the sooner for any continental trouble in which England might become engaged." Mr. Hebblethwaite's face cleared. "I begin to understand now, Norgate," he muttered. "Good fellow!" Mr. Bullen was summoned in hot haste by one of his supporters and hurried out. Norgate drew his chair a little closer to his friend's. "Look here, Hebblethwaite," he said, "you wouldn't listen to me, you know—I don't blame you—but I knew the truth of what I was saying. I knew what was coming. The only thing I could do to help was to play the double traitor. I did it. My chief, who reported to Berlin that this civil war was inevitable, will get it in the neck, but there's more to follow. The Baroness von Haase and I were associated in an absolutely confidential mission to ascertain the likely position of Italy in the event of this conflict. I know for a fact that Italy will not come in with her allies." "Do you mean that?" Mr. Hebblethwaite asked eagerly. "Absolutely certain," Norgate assured him. Hebblethwaite half rose from his place with excitement. "I ought to telephone to the War Office," he declared. "It will alter the whole mobilisation of the French troops." "France knows," Norgate told him quietly. "My wife has seen to that. She passed the information on to them just in time to contract the whole line of mobilisation." "You've been doing big things, young fellow!" Mr. Hebblethwaite exclaimed excitedly. "Go on. Tell me at once, what was your report to Germany?" "I reported that Italy would certainly fulfil the terms of her alliance and fight," Norgate replied. "Furthermore, I have convinced my chief over here that under no possible circumstances would the present Cabinet sanction any war whatsoever. I have given him plainly to understand that you especially are determined to leave France to her fate if war should come, and to preserve our absolute neutrality at all costs." "Go on," Hebblethwaite murmured. "Finish it, anyhow." "There is very little more," Norgate concluded. "I have a list here of properties in the outskirts of London, all bought by Germans, and all having secret preparations for the mounting of big guns. You might just pass that on to the War Office, and they can destroy the places at their leisure. There isn't anything else, Hebblethwaite. As I told you, I've played the double traitor. It was the only way I could help. Now, if I were you, I would arrest the master-spy for whom I have been working. Most of the information he has picked up lately has been pretty bad, and I fancy he'll get a warm reception if he does get back to Berlin, but if ever there was a foreigner who abused the hospitality of this country, Selingman's the man." "We'll see about that presently," Mr. Hebblethwaite declared, leaning back. "Let me think over what you have told me. It comes to this, Norgate. You've practically encouraged Germany to risk affronting us." "I can't help that," Norgate admitted. "Germany has gone into this war, firmly believing that Italy will be on her side, and that we shall have our hands occupied in civil war, and in any case that we should remain neutral. I am not asking you questions, Hebblethwaite. I don't know what the position of the Government will be if Germany attacks France in the ordinary way. But one thing I do believe, and that is that if Germany breaks Belgian neutrality and invades Belgium, there isn't any English Government which has ever been responsible for the destinies of this country, likely to take it lying down. We are shockingly unprepared, or else, of course, there'd have been no war at all. We shall lose hundreds of thousands of our young men, because they'll have to fight before they are properly trained, but we must fight or perish. And we shall fight—I am sure of that, Hebblethwaite." "We are all Englishmen," Hebblethwaite answered simply. The door was suddenly opened. Spencer Wyatt pushed his way past a protesting doorkeeper. Hebblethwaite rose to his feet; he seemed to forget Norgate's presence. "You've been down to the Admiralty?" he asked quickly. "Do you know?" Spencer Wyatt pointed to Norgate. His voice shook with emotion. "I know, Hebblethwaite," he replied, "but there's something that you don't know. We were told to mobilise the fleet an hour ago. My God, what chance should we have had! Germany means scrapping, and look where our ships are, or ought to be." "I know it," Hebblethwaite groaned. "Well, they aren't there!" Spencer Wyatt announced triumphantly. "A week ago that young fellow came to me. He told me what was impending. I half believed it before he began. When he told me his story, I gambled upon it. I mistook the date for the Grand Review. I signed the order for mobilisation at the Admiralty, seven days ago. We are safe, Hebblethwaite! I've been getting wireless messages all day yesterday and to-day. We are at Cromarty and Rosyth. Our torpedo squadron is in position, our submarines are off the German coast. It was just the toss of a coin—papers and a country life for me, or our fleet safe and a great start in the war. This is the man who has done it." "It's the best news I've heard this week," Hebblethwaite declared, with glowing face. "If our fleet is safe, the country is safe for a time. If this thing comes, we've a chance. I'll go through the country. I'll start the day war's declared. I'll talk to the people I've slaved for. They shall come to our help. We'll have the greatest citizen army who ever fought for their native land. I've disbelieved in fighting all my life. If we are driven to it, we'll show the world what peace-loving people can do, if the weapon is forced into their hands. Norgate, the country owes you a great debt. Another time, Wyatt, I'll tell you more than you know now. What can we do for you, young fellow?" Norgate rose to his feet. "My work is already chosen, thanks," he said, as he shook hands. "I have been preparing for some time." CHAPTER XXXIX The card-rooms at the St. James's Club were crowded, but very few people seemed inclined to play. They were standing or sitting about in little groups. A great many of them were gathered around the corner where Selingman was seated. He was looking somewhat graver than usual, but there was still a confident smile upon his lips. "My little friend," he said, patting the hand of the fair lady by his side, "reassure yourself. Your husband and your husband's friends are quite safe. For England there will come no fighting. Believe me, that is a true word." "But the impossible is happening all the time," Mrs. Barlow protested. "Who would have believed that without a single word of warning Germany would have declared war against Russia?" Mr. Selingman raised his voice a little. "Let me make the situation clear," he begged. "Listen to me, if you will, because I am a patriotic German but also a lover of England, a sojourner here, and one of her greatest friends. Germany has gone to war against Russia. Why? You will say upon a trifling pretext. My answer to you is this. There is between the Teuton and the Slav an enmity more mighty than anything you can conceive of. It has been at the root of all the unrest in the Balkans. Many a time Germany has kept the peace at the imminent loss of her own position and prestige. But one knows now that the struggle must come. The Russians are piling up a great army with only one intention. They mean to wrest from her keeping certain provinces of Austria, to reduce Germany's one ally to the condition of a vassal state, to establish the Slav people there and throughout the Balkan States, at the expense of the Teuton. Germany must protect her own. It is a struggle, mind you, which concerns them alone. If only there were common sense in the world, every one else would stand by and let Germany and Austria fight with Russia on the one great issue—Slav or Teuton." "But there's France," little Mrs. Barlow reminded him. "She can't keep out of it. She is Russia's ally." "Alas! my dear madam," Selingman continued, "you point out the tragedy of the whole situation. If France could see wisdom, if France could see truth, she would fold her arms with you others, keep her country and her youth and her dignity. But I will be reasonable. She is, as you say, bound—bound by her alliance to Russia, and she will fight. Very well! Germany wants no more from France than what she has. Germany will fight a defensive campaign. She will push France back with one hand, in as friendly a manner as is compatible with the ethics of war. On the east she will move swiftly. She will fight Russia, and, believe me, the issue will not be long doubtful. She will conclude an honourable peace with France at the first opportunity." "Then you don't think we shall be involved at all?" some one else asked. "If you are," Selingman declared, "it will be your own doing, and it will simply be the most criminal act of this generation. Germany has nothing but friendship for England. I ask you, what British interests are threatened by this inevitable clash between the Slav and the Teuton? It is miserable enough for France to be dragged in. It would be lunacy for England. Therefore, though it is true that serious matters are pending, though, alas! I must return at once to see what help I can afford my country, never for a moment believe, any of you, that there exists the slightest chance of war between Germany and England." "Then I don't see," Mrs. Barlow sighed, "why we shouldn't have a rubber of bridge." "Let us," Selingman assented. "It is a very reasonable suggestion. It will divert our thoughts. Here is the afternoon paper. Let us first see whether there is any further news." It was Mrs. Paston Benedek who opened it. She stared at the first sheet for a moment with eyes which were almost dilated. Then she looked around. Her voice sounded unnatural. "Look!" she cried. "Francis Norgate—Mr. Francis Norgate has committed suicide in his rooms!" "It is not possible!" Selingman exclaimed. They all crowded around the paper. The announcement was contained in a few lines only. Mr. Francis Norgate had been discovered shot through the heart in his sitting-room at the Milan Court, with a revolver by his side. There was a letter addressed to his wife, who had left the day before for Paris. No further particulars could be given of the tragedy. The little group of men and women all looked at one another in a strange, questioning manner. For a moment the war cloud seemed to have passed even from their memories. It was something newer and in a sense more dramatic, this. Norgate—one of themselves! Norgate, who had played bridge with them day after day, had been married only a week or so ago—dead, under the most horrible of all conditions! And Baring, only a few weeks before! There was an uneasiness about which no one could put into words, vague suspicions, strange imaginings. "It's only three weeks," some one muttered, "since poor Baring shot himself! What the devil does it mean? Norgate—why, the fellow was full of common sense." "He was fearfully cut up," some one interposed, "about that Berlin affair." "But he was just married," Mrs. Paston Benedek reminded them, "married to the most charming woman in Europe,—rich, too, and noble. I saw them only two days ago together. They were the picture of happiness. This is too terrible. I am going into the other room to sit down. Please forgive me. Mr. Selingman, will you give me your arm?" She passed into the little drawing-room, almost dragging her companion. She closed the door behind them. Her eyes were brilliant. The words came hot and quivering from her lips. "Listen!" she ordered. "Tell me the truth. Was this suicide or not?" "Why should it not be?" Selingman asked gravely. "Norgate was an Englishman, after all. He must have felt that he had betrayed his country. He has given us, as you know, very valuable information. The thought must have preyed upon his conscience." "Don't lie to me!" she interrupted. "Tell me the truth now or never come near me again, never ask me another question, don't be surprised to find the whole circle of your friends here broken up and against you. It's only the truth I ask for. If a thing is necessary, do I not know that it must be done? But I will hear the truth. There was that about Baring's death which I never understood; but this—this shall be explained." Selingman stood for a moment or two with folded arms. "Dear lady," he said soothingly, "you are not like the others. You have earned the knowledge of the truth. You shall have it. I did not mistrust Francis Norgate, but I knew very well that when the blow fell, he would waver. These Englishmen are all like that. They can lose patience with their ill-governed country. They can go abroad, write angry letters to The Times, declare that they have shaken the dust of their native land from their feet. But when the pinch comes, they fall back. Norgate has served me well, but he knew too much. He is safer where he is." "He was murdered, then!" she whispered. Selingman nodded very slightly. "It is seldom," he declared, "that we go so far. Believe me, it is only because our great Empire is making its move, stretching out for the great world war, that I gave the word. What is one man's life when millions are soon to perish?" She sank down into an easy-chair and covered her face with her hands. "I am answered," she murmured, "only I know now I was not made for these things. I love scheming, but I am a woman." CHAPTER XL Mr. Selingman's influence over his fellows had never been more marked than on that gloomiest of all afternoons. They gathered around him as he sat on the cushioned fender, a cup of tea in one hand and a plateful of buttered toast by his side. "To-day," he proclaimed, "I bring good news. Yesterday, I must admit, things looked black, and the tragedy to poor young Norgate made us all miserable." "I should have said things looked worse," one of the men declared, throwing down an afternoon paper. "The Cabinet Council is still sitting, and there are all sorts of rumours in the city." "I was told by a man in the War Office," Mrs. Barlow announced, "that England would stand by her treaty to Belgium, and that Germany has made all her plans to invade France through Belgium." "Rumours, of course, there must be," Selingman agreed, "but I bring something more than rumour. I received to-day, by special messenger from Berlin, a dispatch of the utmost importance. Germany is determined to show her entire friendliness towards England. She recognises the difficulties of your situation. She is going to make a splendid bid for your neutrality. Much as I would like to, I cannot tell you more. This, however, I know to be the basis of her offer. You in England could help in the fight solely by means of your fleet. It is Germany's suggestion that, in return for your neutrality, she should withdraw her fleet from action and leave the French northern towns unbombarded. You will then be in a position to fulfil your obligations to France, whatever they may be, without moving a stroke or spending a penny. It is a triumph of diplomacy, that—a veritable triumph." "It does sound all right," Mrs. Barlow admitted. "It has relieved my mind of a mighty burden," Selingman continued, setting down his empty plate and brushing the crumbs from his waistcoat. "I feel now that we can look on at this world drama with sorrowing eyes, indeed, but free from feelings of hatred and animosity. I have had a trying day. I should like a little bridge. Let us—" Selingman did not finish his sentence. The whole room, for a moment, seemed to become a study in still life. A woman who had been crossing the floor stood there as though transfixed. A man who was dealing paused with an outstretched card in his hand. Every eye was turned on the threshold. It was Norgate who stood there, Norgate metamorphosed, in khaki uniform—an amazing spectacle! Mrs. Barlow was the first to break the silence with a piercing shriek. Then the whole room seemed to be in a turmoil. Selingman alone sat quite still. There was a grey shade upon his face, and the veins were standing out at the back of his hands. "So sorry to startle you all," Norgate said apologetically. "Of course, you haven't seen the afternoon papers. It was my valet who was found dead in my rooms—a most mysterious affair," he added, his eyes meeting Selingman's. "The inquest is to be this afternoon." "Your valet!" Selingman muttered. "A very useful fellow," Norgate continued, strolling to the fireplace and standing there, "but with a very bad habit of wearing my clothes when I am away. I was down in Camberley for three days and left him in charge." They showered congratulations upon him, but in the midst of them the strangeness of his appearance provoked their comment. "What does it mean?" Mrs. Benedek asked, patting his arm. "Have you turned soldier?" "In a sense I have," Norgate admitted, "but only in the sense that every able-bodied Englishman will have to do, in the course of the next few months. Directly I saw this coming, I arranged for a commission." "But there is to be no war!" Mrs. Barlow exclaimed. "Mr. Selingman has been explaining to us this afternoon what wonderful offers Germany is making, so that we shall be able to remain neutral and yet keep our pledges." "Mr. Selingman," Norgate said quietly, "is under a delusion. Germany, it is true, has offered us a shameless bribe. I am glad to be able to tell you all that our Ministry, whatever their politics may be, have shown themselves men. An English ultimatum is now on its way to Berlin. War will be declared before midnight." Selingman rose slowly to his feet. His face was black with passion. He pushed a man away who stood between them. He was face to face with Norgate. "So you," he thundered, suddenly reckless of the bystanders, "are a double traitor! You have taken pay from Germany and deceived her! You knew, after all, that your Government would make war when the time came. Is that so?" "I was always convinced of it," Norgate replied calmly. "I also had the honour of deceiving you in the matter of Mr. Bullen. I have been the means, owing to your kind and thoughtful information, of having the fleet mobilised and ready to strike at the present moment, and there are various little pieces of property I know about, Mr. Selingman, around London, where we have taken the liberty of blowing up your foundations. There may be a little disappointment for you, too, in the matter of Italy. The money you were good enough to pay me for my doubtful services, has gone towards the establishment of a Red Cross hospital. As for you, Selingman, I denounce you now as one of those who worked in this country for her ill, one of those pests of the world, working always in the background, dishonourably and selfishly, against the country whose hospitality you have abused. If I have met you on your own ground, well, I am proud of it. You are a German spy, Selingman." Selingman's hand fumbled in his pocket. Scarcely a soul was surprised when Norgate gripped him by the wrist, and they saw the little shining revolver fall down towards the fender. "You shall suffer for these words," Selingman thundered. "You young fool, you shall bite the dust, you and hundreds of thousands of your cowardly fellows, when the German flag flies from Buckingham Palace." Norgate held up his hand and turned towards the door. Two men in plain clothes entered. "That may be a sight," Norgate said calmly, "which you, at any rate, will not be permitted to see. I have had some trouble in arranging for your arrest, as we are not yet under martial law, but I think you will find your way to the Tower of London before long, and I hope it will be with your back to the light and a dozen rifles pointing to your heart." A third man had come into the room. He tapped Selingman on the shoulder and whispered in his ear. "I demand to see your warrant!" the latter exclaimed. The officer produced it. Selingman threw it on the floor and spat upon it. He looked around the room, in the further corner of which two men and a woman were standing upon chairs to look over the heads of the little crowd. "Take me where you will," he snarled. "You are a rotten, treacherous, cowardly race, you English, and I hate you all. You can kill me first, if you will, but in two months' time you shall learn what it is like to wait hand and foot upon your conquerors." He strode out of the room, a guard on either side of him and the door closed. One woman had fainted. Mrs. Paston Benedek was swaying back and forth upon the cushioned fender, sobbing hysterically. Norgate stood by her side. "I have forgotten the names," he announced pointedly, "of many of that fellow's dupes. I am content to forget them. I am off now," he went on, his tone becoming a little kinder. "I am telling you the truth. It's war. You men had better look up any of the forces that suit you and get to work. We shall all be needed. There is work, too, for the women, any quantity of it. My wife will be leaving again for France next week with the first Red Cross Ambulance Corps. I dare say she will be glad to hear from any one who wants to help." "I shall be a nurse," Mrs. Paston Benedek decided. "I am sick of bridge and amusing myself." "The costume is quite becoming," Mrs. Barlow murmured, glancing at herself in the looking-glass, "and I adore those poor dear soldiers." "Well, I'll leave you to it," Norgate declared. "Good luck to you all!" They crowded around him, shaking him by the hand, still besieging him with questions about Selingman. He shook his head good-humouredly and made his way towards the door. "There's nothing more to tell you," he concluded. "Selingman is just one of the most dangerous spies who has ever worked in this country, but the war itself was inevitable. We've known that for years, only we wouldn't believe it. We'll all meet again, perhaps, in the work later on." Late that night, Norgate stood hand in hand with Anna at the window of their little sitting-room. Down in the Strand, the newsboys were shouting the ominous words. The whole of London was stunned. The great war had come! "It's wonderful, dear," Anna whispered, "that we should have had these few days of so great happiness. I feel brave and strong now for our task." Norgate held her closely to him. "We've been in luck," he said simply. "We were able to do something pretty soon. I have had the greatest happiness in life a man can have. Now I am going to offer my life to my country and pray that it may be spared for you. But above all, whatever happens," he added, leaning a little further from the window towards where the curving lights gleamed across the black waters of the Thames, "above all, whatever may happen to us, we are face to face with one splendid thing—a great country to fight for, and a just cause. I saw Hebblethwaite as I came in. He is a changed man. Talks about raising an immense citizen army in six months. Both his boys have taken up commissions. Hebblethwaite himself is going around the country, recruiting. They are his people, after all. He has given them their prosperity at the expense, alas! of our safety. It's up to them now to prove whether the old spirit is there or not. We shall need two million men. Hebblethwaite believes we shall get them long before the camps are ready to receive them. If we do, it will be his justification." "And if we don't?" Anna murmured. Norgate threw his head a little further back. "Most pictures," he said, "have two sides, but we need only look at one. I am going to believe that we shall get them. I am going to remember the only true thing that fellow Selingman ever said: that our lesson had come before it is too late. I am going to believe that the heart and conscience of the nation is still a live thing. If it is, dear, the end is certain. And I am going to believe that it is!"

Lot of vintage pure linen damask tablecloths and napkins, used with many spots, though the fabric seems pretty nice and crisp. We haven't washed or soaked these at all, or had them cleaned. They're just as found, last used more than 50 years ago! There's ten matching napkins measuring about 22 1/2" x 21". There's two tablecloths in this lot, neither matching the pattern of the other or of the set of napkins. One cloth is 72" x 88", one cloth is 72" x 124".

In 1998, David Robert Duval won the PGA Tour’s money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. In 2001, he won the Open Championship. Two years later, he was off the PGA Tour. Born in Jacksonville, Florida on this date in 1971 to a father who was a golf instructor and mother who, while in college, was part of the flying Trapeze act with Florida State University’s circus. Duval spent much of his childhood on the golf course. He received his first golf club—a cut down eight iron—from his father at eleven months old and won his first tournament, in Tallahassee, when he was nine. Duval pitched and played third base for his Little League team, leading them to the league title while he was in grade school. His brother, Brent, was diagnosed with aplastic anemia—the failure of bone marrow to produce normal blood cells—at age 12 and David, who was nine, donated bone marrow for his brother. The transplant was unsuccessful and Brent died in May of 1981. The loss led to his parents’ divorce and Duval sought solace at the golf course, breaking 70 for the first time when he was 14 in route to winning the city amateur title. He graduated from Episcopal High School in 1989 and won the U.S. Junior Amateur in El Cajon, California later that year. Duval enrolled at Georgia Tech University, alma mater of the great Bobby Jones, in the fall of 1989 and was a four-time first-team All-American. As a junior and senior, he was named ACC Player of the Year and earned National Player of the Year honors as a senior in 1993. Duval qualified for the U.S. Open as an eighteen year old, making the cut and tying for 56th. Two years later, he led the Atlanta Open after 54 holes before shooting a final round 79 to lose to Tom Kite by two shots. Duval played in two Eisenhower Trophy matches—a biennial world amateur team competition—and finished second in both. He led the United States to the 1991 Walker Cup over Great Britain & Ireland in 1991 and turned professional following his graduation from Georgia Tech in 1993. Mr. Duval played in nine Nike [now Tour events in 1993, making the cut eight times, and ended the year with two wins and five top-ten finishes. The following season, he made 17 cuts in 22 starts with ten top-ten finishes. Duval earned his PGA Tour card in 1995, and won over $ 880,000 [11th on the money list], which was quite a contrast to the $ 44,006 he had earned on the Nike Tour just one year earlier. He qualified for the 1996 President’s Cup team, going 4-0-0 to help the U.S. defeat the International Team. David Duval’s first PGA Tour win came in October 1997, when he claimed the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill. He won the next two tournaments that month, including the season-ending Tour Championship, and became [at that time] the fastest player to earn $ 1 million on Tour. Duval’s breakout season came in 1998, when he won four events—including the World Series of Golf—along with the money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. He opened the 1999 season with a nine-stroke victory over Mark O’Meara to win the Mercedes Championships. Two weeks later, he eagled the final hole to fire a final-round 59 in a come-from-behind win at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Duval’s ball-striking was so precise during that round that his 11 birdies came from a total distance of 54 feet—less than five feet per putt. That same day, his father, Bob–who was competing on the Champions Tour–won the Emerald Coast Classic, the first time the PGA Tour crowned father and son champions on the same day. Two months later, David Duval won the Players Championship and overtook Tiger Woods as the top-ranked player in the world. The following week, he won the BellSouth Classic, the same tournament he had blown in the final round as an amateur in 1992 and finished the year with a career-best $3,641,906 in earnings. Bob Duval described his son as a “focus freak” and “serious SOB” on when competing on the golf course. David won 11 events in 34 starts from the end of 1997 to early 1999 and, along with Woods, dominated professional golf. He won the Buick Challenge in October of 2000—his only win of the year—and dropped to number seven in the world rankings. Nine months later, he won the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes to claim the only major championship of his career. It would be the final PGA Tour win of Duval’s career, as injuries and medical conditions led to his dropping to 80th on the money list in 2002 and 211th in 2003, prompting an extended break from the game. Duval attempted several comebacks in the ensuing years, finishing second in the 2009 U.S. Open as well as 2010 AT&T at Pebble Beach, but never regained his old form. David Duval won 13 events on the PGA Tour and 19 overall as a professional. He played in three Presidents Cups, two Ryder Cups, two World Cup matches and won nearly $ 19 million on the PGA Tour. He also won over $ 3,346,000 on the European Tour between 1995 and 2001. Mr. Duval was inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013 and joined the Golf Channel as a studio analyst in 2015.

I’m not typically a fan of what I call “spa foods” - a unique subset of plant-based dishes that are generally served cold, often all or mostly raw, and heavy on the cucumber - so my expectations were low when Greg proposed this chilled soup. I was, however, craving something fresh and green, so I acquiesced. Thank goodness I did. His final creation is bright and utterly satisfying. With the sharp base, the creamy almond yogurt, and the crunch of fresh cucumber and toasted cashews, it’s a perfect combination of flavor and textures. Follow Greg and Holly’s food adventures on Instagram at @dabbleeats Chilled Cucumber and Zucchini Soup Ingredients: 1 almond yogurt (5.3 oz) 1 lemon 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving 5-6 cloves garlic 2 zucchini 1 jalapeno, seeded 1 small shallot (or half a large) 2 cucumber 3 Tbsp fresh dill fronds 1 ½ tsp agave 1 ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste ½ tsp pepper, plus more to taste ¼ cup roasted and salted cashews Empty almond yogurt into a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth (or paper towel or coffee filter in a pinch), and allow to drain for at least 10 minutes. Zest lemon and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Mince garlic and add to pan. Saute until soft and aromatic. Roughly chop zucchini, jalapeno, shallot, and all but half a cucumber, and place in blender. Add three quarters of the sauteed garlic, juice of half the lemon, and 2 Tbsp dill fronds, and puree until smooth. Add agave, 1 Tbsp of the drained almond yogurt, salt, and pepper. Blend until combined. Strain through a clean fine mesh strainer. Finely dice remaining half cucumber. Combine with drained almond yogurt, juice of half a lemon, remaining garlic and dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Roughly chop cashews and toast over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Serve soup cold, generously topped with cashews, cucumber and yogurt mixture, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Reply K.M. Vollmer says: 2022-02-15 This judging system makes watching a lot more fun – they always seem to get to do a lot more than when they've got 2 or 3 set runs. It's epic. Reply Edward Mihevic says: 2022-02-15 I enjoyed seeing the scores during US Open, bring back the scores please! Reply Gut Gespielt says: 2022-02-15 I don't even want to watch xgames anymore because of the judging system! Reply Johnny Cipperly says: 2022-02-15 No scoring and sound effects, stop both of those. Reply seb99 says: 2022-02-15 Can someone explain me why everyone does the same lines and almost no creativity in the runs? And is the course not made well because they all drop in way slower then any other slopestyle contest of snowboarding such a dissapointment Reply Dodo on the rocks says: 2022-02-15 The scoring thing is good for rail jam and knuckle huck… maybe even for the qualifiers but please dont use it in the finals :/ Reply George Gividen says: 2022-02-14 Somebody didn't tell Darcy that this is an overall impression event. Reply Frank Lamothe says: 2022-02-14 Mc Morris is so boring 😑😑. All years the same tricks. No fun, no creativity, less style than lots of riders and always on the podium… Snowboard spirit can die with that 😥 Reply Mountain Man says: 2022-02-14 Don't really agree with judges. If they're basing it off of overall impression then Mark should of won. He landed more runs and switch it up on more features. Mark should of won in my opinion. Reply Kyeboards says: 2022-02-14 This scoring is honestly boring to watch… I'm all for the evolving courses that really put more emphasis on rails and style, but like… overall impression? Basically encourages safe riding and haults people pushing the limits of snowboarding. You think that Dusty would've gone for a quad cork in the US Open for the first time ever if he didn't think it would help his score? Knuckle huck is about the only thing that this format really makes sense for. Reply toi38 says: 2022-02-14 bring back the scores!! we want some bangers, not overall impressions Reply Alexander Bertallo says: 2022-02-14 Terrible conditions… Reply Will Palmer says: 2022-02-12 x games: how can we kill snowboarding? new intern: I have this new scoring system I've been working on. x games: now you are thinking Reply Luca Leggo says: 2022-02-12 Bring back scoooorring Reply Luca Leggo says: 2022-02-12 New format gets rid of all the tension and excitement of these events Reply LeBraun says: 2022-02-12 That course is terrible wow Reply Zenmasterme says: 2022-02-12 Bias judging is not fair to the riders that put their body and their lives on the line to progress the sport. This made me not want to watch anymore snowboarding events. Reply Bernhard Marsden says: 2022-02-12 The judges wouldn't be able to explain their own decisions after run 1… and it s even worse at women's slopestyle… Reply MrGavinmccolgan says: 2022-02-11 We need Scores. Reply Raven says: 2022-02-11 New format needs to go Reply A. says: 2022-02-11 i like this system in big air but in slopestyle … really!? Reply Ѫ says: 2022-02-11 these x games announcers are so annoying. nobody needs your stupid storylines and hearing about cancer every single time max drops in. stop trying to make tv show idiocy out of this Reply Abby Grey says: 2022-02-11 Hey X Games, are you going to read your comment section and listen to what your fans are saying? I haven't seen one positive comment about the new judging system. It might be time to re-think Reply Robert Hudson says: 2022-02-11 Just want to chime in on how much I dislike this scoring system. Here are several reasons why: (1) the riders are encouraged to play it safe and land at all costs instead of taking risks and riding to their full potential; (2) the viewers and the riders have absolutely no insight into why or how the runs were ranked (this was especially confusing when Darcy suddenly jumped to first after falling on several runs); (3) it makes the judging even more subjective and susceptible to bias; (4) it is harder for new viewers to understand what judges look for and why runs are scored the way they are; and (5) the suspense of waiting to see a score is gone. It’s like if they took the point system out of basketball or football and judges just decided which team “played better.” No one would watch it. I understand the desire to make snowboarding more about style and less about spin to win, but I think that is best accomplished through other events like the knuckle huck or the rail jam – not by fundamentally changing a tried and true fan favorite event. Reply Greg D says: 2022-02-08 Absolutely RIDICULOUS scoring system. NO SUSPENSE whatsoever. C'mon Craig McMorris you KNOW you hate it. I get it…..you are paid to say its great…..it SUCKS!!!! (And by the way I live 5 minutes from LeBoldus in Regina ans was at Mission Ridge on the weekend). Congrats Mark!!!!! Reply Donk says: 2022-02-08 Hearing a snowboarder stomping the landing be referred to as "bolts" really hints at the skateboarding roots. Reply Kyle Keegan says: 2022-02-08 is Andy Richter commentating? Reply justin steranka says: 2022-02-08 Love the color commentary from these two every time, but someone needs to educate them on the phrase, "bolts". Your feet land on top of the bolts in snowboarding whether you land or fail. This is yet another phrase (such as cab, nollie, fakie, frontside, backside) that was adopted from skateboarding. Most are apt adaptations, but "bolts" is not. In skateboarding, you can land with your feet anywhere on the board and are most secure and most in control when you land your trick with both your feet over the bolts (not one on the tail and one in the middle of the board). Please, quit saying bolts. About a year or two ago, the history of this phrase was improperly recanted by Mr. McMorris and the credit was given to the snowboarding world. If you plan to say these things, much like your diving references, please understand what you are saying and why. Reply Wee Wa says: 2022-02-08 Turn off the sound to better enjoy the video! Reply Faith & Action says: 2022-02-08 I think it's disappointing that most of the best riders in the world waste the upper half of the hitching post rail when it's the most exciting rail in the comp' if you can use both top & bottom. Only Stale. Reply Boden Devaux says: 2022-02-05 they don’t appreciate style enough. stale had so much more style especially in the rail section Reply Will Dykema says: 2022-02-05 Go to burton open slope scoring!!! They did it best Reply XWhiteWinter says: 2022-02-05 is it me or the point system was better like 10 year ago when could participate and estimate for yourself the result , now is just for regular folk turning tv on and watch this in 720 p ???? like helllo 2020 4k resolution , where are you ?????? Reply TheRealSweedie says: 2022-02-05 I've never understood the "jam session" format… why does it matter if that's how they do it or if they just give everyone x amounts of runs? It feels like a very forced way of being "with the culture"… Reply Troy says: 2022-02-05 The fans have spoken, switch back the scoring system! Reply pumpkin1escobar says: 2022-02-05 The soundeffects are kinda cringe, they don't add anything. Reply EarlGrey says: 2022-02-04 Has anyone ever landed a 1800° ? Reply danners238 says: 2022-02-04 No more throw away runs means more action for the viewers so that makes the overall impression scores a good idea. However I dont think they expected so many competitors to throw down all solid runs. It means if a top competitor makes one error it can ruin their overall impression even though they may throw down the best single run. It makes going big much more risky so maybe they are trying to stop pushing the sport to progress as quickly. Could be trying to protect the athletes from injury? Thoughts? Reply StickSkinny12 says: 2022-02-04 11:48 they called that all too well Reply Young Salty Outdoors says: 2022-02-04 This judging format is complete garbage. The boarders that did not put in the work can easily win, that's a problem. Please fix this garbage

The Linda Vista-Annandale Association would like to share the following information from the City of Pasadena with residents going to neighborhood polls on election day: ​Pasadena voters who live in the Arroyo Seco area and who intend to cast ballots at two polling places near the Rose Bowl Stadium are reminded to go to the polls early to avoid traffic and possible delays due to the Copa America soccer match on Tuesday, June 7, 2016. As an alternative, voters may wish to request an online “Will Call Ballot” for pickup at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Avenue, by visiting the County of Los Angeles Registrar Recorder/County Clerk website or by calling the County at (562) 466-1323. Will-call ballot requests generally take 48 hours to process. The pilot “Will Call Ballot” program is offered locally by the County through a partnership with the Pasadena City Clerk’s Office and is available at Pasadena City Hall now through the close of business on Monday, June 6, 2016. The program includes both weekday and weekend early voting opportunities, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5. Ballots MUST be preordered for “Will Call” pickup at City Hall. The two polling places within the Arroyo Seco that might be impacted on Election Day due to the Copa America soccer match include the Pasadena Fire Station 38 (located at 1150 Linda Vista Avenue) and a private residence located at 1725 Casitas Avenue. All polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. on that day. All voters are urged to go to the polls early, especially in the Arroyo Seco area (before 4:30 p.m.), to avoid traffic and possible delays. Limited, short-term parking will be available adjacent to each polling location. For voters casting ballots at Fire Station 38, please review parking signage near the polling location and park only in designated parking areas as this is a working fire station that must be available to respond to emergency calls. The Pasadena City Clerk’s Office is also available to answer questions and provide additional information by calling: (626) 744-4124. More information about the soccer match can be found online at including information about the clear bag policy for entrance. FROM THE LINDA VISTA-ANNANDALE ASSOCIATION: To facilitate access to the Linda Vista-Annandale polling location at Fire Station 38, note that the "No Parking" signs on Linda Vista Avenue, adjacent to the Fire Station, will indicate "No Parking Except Poll Voters Exempt." Please watch for these special signs and park accordingly to vote. The special signs will be placed on the east side of Linda Vista Avenue from the northern edge of the Fire Station property, south to Linda Vista Way. The special signs will also be placed on the west side of Linda Vista Avenue from Afton south to El Mirador. Beginning at 4:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., assistance in the face of heavy event traffic will be provided to those who park on the west side of Linda Vista Avenue so that those who need to cross Linda Vista can do so at the Afton crosswalk. LVAA has also asked for assistance for those who need to turn around at El Mirador to go back up Linda Vista Avenue after voting.

Stone, Daphne F.; Hinds, James W.; Anderson, Frances L.; Lendemer, James C. (2017), Data from: A revision of the Leptogium saturninum group in North America, Dryad, Dataset, Abstract A revision of the North American members of the Leptogium saturninum group (i.e. species with long lower-surface hairs, isidia, and usually smooth upper surface) is presented based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of mtSSU and nrITS sequence data, together with an extensive morphological study. Three species supported by both molecular and morphological characteristics are recognized: L. acadiense sp. nov. (distinguished by granular saturninum-type isidia, medulla composed of irregularly arranged or perpendicular hyphae), L. cookii sp. nov. (distinguished by cylindrical saturninum-type isidia) and L. hirsutum (distinguished by hirsutum-type isidia and medulla composed of loosely intertwined hyphae). One species supported by morphological characteristics, but for which no molecular data could be generated, is also recognized: L. compactum sp. nov. (distinguished by hirsutum-type isidia and medulla composed of tightly packed hyphae). Finally, L. saturninum (distinguished by granular saturninum-type isidia and medulla composed of perpendicular and parallel hyphae) is supported by morphological characteristics but molecular data from geographically diverse populations, including those near the type locality, indicate that the morphologically defined species is paraphyletic. Leptogium burnetiae is excluded from North American based on morphological study of the type. The species are described and illustrated in detail, and are distinguished morphologically by their isidium development, morphology of mature isidia, and pattern of hyphae in the medulla in transverse sections near lobe margins.

There’ve been other dogs. Growing up around here, most every family I ever knew had at least one. They weren’t always inside dogs and they usually lived on table scraps. Trips to the vet were rare. If somebody’s pooch got run-over and there was a chance they’d make it, then maybe. Neighborhood dogs were an important part of our childhood. My people alone had yellow mutts, black mutts, white mutts, and a Chesapeake named Dee-oh-gee with curly rust-colored hair and one of that breed’s peculiar smiles, except bucktoothed and crooked. There was a VIP, a Blackie, a Whitey, a Mac, a Max, a Neighbor, a Tippy, and a Steven. But me and Tammy Sam? We’re done for now. We just said goodbye to two old dogs we lived with for the last decade and a half. Tammy Sam and I adopted Buster back before our daughter Debra Winger Philpot was born. Relieved to be sprung from the rowdy pack of street dogs and orphans he was bunking with at the shelter, Buster turned out to be a mellow prince, a snuggly lover of women and favorite uncles. Strangers always asked if he was a Husky. He looked like a wolf but had the charisma of a lamb. Buster was quickly followed by Bashful. Neighbors kept her tied to a tree with a short rope. The second time we asked for her, we came home with a dirty, sad, orange and black hounddog, a shanty-like doghouse, and a bone dry water bowl. Bashful had heartworms and ticks, and an ill-considered will to escape our clutches. Love, medicine, regular meals, and a dry place to sleep cured her of all that. For the majority of her life Bashful sat around and barked orders like the Queen of All She Surveys. You never met a dog with more personality or stronger will. An old Kent Islander once told me that old, sick dogs are lucky to have friends who care enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye. That Islander said every beloved dog will be by your side forever, but when there’s nothing left of it’s body but wounds, it’s time to let that part go. And after 15 years, that’s what happened. We all took one last trip to the vet together. Yeah, I’ve counted a dozen dogs as family, and if time and circumstances allow, there might be one or two more initiated into our pack. But we’re done for now. Saying goodbye to friends takes a lot out of you. I think it was Will Rogers who said, ‘If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.’

The safety of students is our top priority. Arrival and dismissal are busy times at schools. We need to work together with parents, guardians and childcare providers to make sure students are safe. Here are key points to be aware of when planning pick up and/or drop off of students: Supervision starts fifteen (15) minutes before bell time and ends fifteen (15) minutes after bell time, school staff will contact the parent/guardian, followed by emergency contact for any student who is not picked up within this time. If late pickup happens often, additional support services may be involved. If parents/guardians arrange for other people to pick up their children, like a private childcare provider, the parent/guardian is responsible to ensure the alternate person/program is picking up on time. Designated bus loading zones are out-of-bounds during arrival and dismissal times, with the only exception being Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium buses. Private childcare providers will be asked not to use these areas. Parents are also not allowed to drop off or pick up in the bus zones. Once buses have departed and the loading zone has been opened up by school staff, vehicle traffic may begin to flow through the area to pick students up. Traffic must be in constant flow in this area at all times, meaning no unattended parked vehicles in this area. Unattended vehicles must be parked in an approved parking space, outside of the kiss and ride area, with the engine turned off. At school with kiss and ride areas, parents/guardians must adhere to guidelines provided by the school to maintain a steady flow of traffic. Safe Arrival program All parents/guardians are asked to contact their school when their child will be absent from school. When schools do not hear from a parent/guardian, and a student who is enrolled in the Safe Arrival program is absent, the school will call home to find out the reason for the absence. On days when buses are cancelled due to inclement weather, the safe arrival program continues. For parents/guardians of students who ride the bus on these days, if you receive a call and believe that your child should be in attendance, you are asked to please call the school. Otherwise, the school will assume that you are aware of your child's absence. Families of students who walk to school should call the school if their children are not attending on inclement weather days.

If you are looking for something new to add to your bookshelf, request from the library or download on your phone, here are 7 books I’ve read this year that I would definitely recommend! 📚 Fiction Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins I love how this novel made everything feel so real by being written in interview style. The singer Daisy Jones and the band The Six are interviewed about their time together in the 1970s. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Everything about this book is unique. I don’t think I’ve ever read another book with a protagonist like Kya--a resilient, intelligent, lonely, poverty stricken woman. This book kept me on the edge of my seat while making me cry and empathize. Non fiction The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions by Emily P. Freeman I really enjoy Emily’s writing. It’s refreshing, like a deep breath of autumn air. Seriously. I love her podcast The Next Right Thing so of course I had to read her new book. It did not disappoint. If you need encouragement as you make little day to day decisions or the big scary decisions, please read this. (Or listen to the audiobook, Emily’s voice is relaxing. 😂) The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee I learned a lot about North Korea in this shocking memoir about how she “escaped” North Korea in accident. The Valedictorian of Being Dead by Heather B. Armstrong This is a deep look into depression and the extreme, experimental treatment Heather went through to heal her mind. Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes If you are familiar with Grey’s Anatomy, you probably know the name Shonda Rhimes (she’s the the writer/creator). This book follows her journey to saying yes to all of the opportunities that came her way for one whole year. It was uplifting and encourages you to say yes to the important, and sometimes scary, things in life. The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore Wes Moore was intrigued when he heard the police were looking for a man with his same name and in his same neighborhood for the shooting of a police officer. After doing some research, he contacted the other Wes Moore who was then in prison and started talking about their paths in life. He realized that he could have had ended up in his shoes if his life had been just a little different. It’s an eye opening read on how much our families, living conditions, friends, schooling and job opportunities can affect our lives. Please let me know if you have any recommendations for me! Several of these books were recommended to me, so thank you and keep them coming!️ 📚❤

Heber Springs quarterback Liam Buffalo looks for running room as coaches Drew Lawrence and Jay Bishop look on during seventh-grade football action in Searcy. PHILIP SEATON PHOTO September 12, 2019 By PHILIP SEATON SEARCY – Heber Springs scored a touchdown in the final minute to pull out an 18-14 victory over Harding Academy Thursday night in Searcy. The Panthers improved to 2-0 with the win and will be off next week before returning to action on September 27 at Lonoke. On Thursday, it was last-minute heroics that got the win for the Panthers. Heber Springs Ty West running up field against Harding Academy on Thursday. PHILIP SEATON PHOTO After Harding went up 14-12 with 4:36 to play, Heber Springs marched the ball downfield mainly on the legs of quarterback Laim Buffalo, but the drive appeared to stall with the Panthers facing a fourth-and-5 from the Wildcat 17. Instead of going with the legs of Buffalo, it was his arm as he connected with Weston Warden who caught the short pass and did the rest racing 17 yards for the score with 53.7 seconds left. The two-point conversion failed. The Panther defense held Harding Academy and Heber Springs came away with the win. Heber Springs’ Axley Davis takes the hand-off from Panther quarterback Liam Buffalo Thursday night in Searcy. PHILIP SEATON PHOTO Heber Springs struck first as Buffalo connected with Warden with a 77-yard touchdown pass to put the Panthers up 6-0 with 11:21 to play in the first half. After Harding Academy tied things up at 6-all with 5:41, Heber Springs struck right before halftime as Buffalo found Bryce Seigrest on a 60-yard touchdown pass. Turnovers plagued Heber Springs in the second half leading to Harding Academy to taking the lead. After a turnover and the ensuing drive reached inside the Panther 25, Heber Springs’ defense stiffened and stopped the Wildcats on fourth down. But another turnover gave Harding Academy the ball back which led to Wildcat score.

As a user, I can drag and expand my Layers and Assets work-panel. I’d like to have that functionality on the right work-panel (Design, Prototype, Inspect panel). Some of our design tokens are a bit long and are truncated due to character count limits.

Ginny_Wood June 15, 2021, 5:53pm #2 I want to be able to drag the right panel to resize it like I can with the left panel so I can view the full names of my color styles. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this? 4 Likes Craig2 July 29, 2021, 10:32am #3 Hi, We have color and type libraries set up to align with our development environment meaning we can just have “red” or “body” as a description. It needs to be longer. However, The right bar containing all our properties has become almost unusable in some circumstances due to it’s hugely constrained width. We can often just see a category title, and not the actual label of the color or type. With the left layers panel being resizable, it would make sense to provide this same flexibility for designers to better utilise our working space. Thank you, Craig Jasper_Behaegel December 10, 2021, 9:58am #4 Hi, I’d like to add that the problem is even bigger for developers inspecting designs. For us, the variant names are directly pointing to React property keys. Therefor it is crucial that developers can read the full property name. Right now they’re being truncated after 6-7 characters, which is way too short. Thx! Jasper 1 Like Blagovirnyy_Roman January 27, 2022, 7:36pm #5 The Properties panel and menus for selecting styles are very narrow. This makes it difficult to identify and select styles that are deeply nested in a tree structure or have long names because the text is truncated (Note that the distinguishing suffixes are often at the end of the names and get cut off). image1142×976 77.3 KB Note: we often end up with long names for color styles when we match them with names of variables that devs use in their CSS. I have at times used the Chrome dev tools to adjust the CSS for the width of this panel. This help a little but is cumbersome to do every time and results in a janky UI. Please improve the Figma UI so that we can see the full names of styles and components in the Properties panel and menus. Does any one else struggle with the names of styles and components being truncated in the Properties panel and menus? Do you wish the menus can dynamically adjust their width to fit the whole names of the list items, or at least use word wrapping? Do you wish you could resize the width of the Properties panel like you can with the Layers panel? 3 Likes Blagovirnyy_Roman January 27, 2022, 8:50pm #7 Yes, thank you! Bryan_Berger February 7, 2022, 1:32am #8 I made a hack for this (I won’t promote it here) which adjusts the internal CSS of the property panel. Some things are a bit quirky but overall its a HUGE improvement to be able to see variant properties, text and color styles in their entirety. This makes hand-off so much smoother as others have mentioned. It would be great to hear an official response from Figma on this, and ideally some roadmap commitment (new features are great, but a rock solid foundation, like accessible properties, is absolutely critical). Daniel_Klopper September 23, 2021, 8:53pm #9 What? Could we please get the ability for the RHS panel to be resized, in order to read component names. image660×720 11 KB 4 Likes Kieran_Kelly February 9, 2022, 8:43am #10 Hi there, I’ve set up a some font styling (based on tailwind presets) and am wondering is it possible to enlarge the dialog window where I can select them? currently I am having to scroll alot. I’m using a 5K screen, so there is plenty of space for a larger window… Screenshot 2022-02-09 at 08.40.34696×1666 60.9 KB Buck2 March 10, 2022, 9:18pm #11 This. Due to the structure of style hierarchies and labeling practices, it’s rare when an entire style name will be completely visible in this right panel. And identifying information is usually at the end of the style’s title. Designers tend to use larger monitors, so screen real estate would generally be ample enough to allow for more text to be shown. (But not always, so expanding the right panel should be possible, but optional.) Developers don’t need to see as much of the canvas, so being able to expand the right (Inspect) panel makes their job easier, too. They’d be able to see the code more fully without having to copy and paste it somewhere else (just to know it’s the right code they’re after).

I want to use eclipse and the arduino libraries to program some atmega168 chips without any arduino hardware. I just want to make use of the wicked arduino libraries. I have gone through the tutorial here: and everything seems to be working fine. I’m using the stk500 as a programmer. I have successfully compiled and programmed a chip with a simple blink program. The problem is now I want to use other parts of the library (hardware serial) but I just get errors that seem to be related to not having the libraries setup correctly. If I try “Serial.begin(19200);” I get: error: ‘Serial’ undeclared (first use in this function) Any advice about how to get these libraries working with Eclipse would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! nospam2000 September 26, 2009, 10:47pm #2 I haven't used Eclipse, so I don't know it's special handing, but in general to use the HardwareSerial library, you have to add "HardwareSerial.cpp" to your project, so it gets compiled and linked. "Serial" is defined there at the very end of "HardwareSerial.cpp". In your own cpp files you have to include the header "HardwareSerial.h" to make use of the "extern HardwareSerial Serial" declaration. MikeT system December 1, 2009, 11:30am #3 I am struggling with this as well. I have HardwareSerial.h included but is doesn't make any difference. Does anybody have this fixed yet? cyberreefguru February 6, 2010, 3:13pm #4 Have you included the library path(s) in the eclipse set up? Project Properties (right click on project name->Properties) AVR Compiler->Directories AVR C++ Compiler->Directories AVR C++ Linker->Libraries (the name of the library w/o 'lib') AVR C++ Linker->Libraries Path (the path to the library) I like that Arduino hides all the details of compilation from you, but it certainly makes it difficult when you want more from a editor than the arduino tool can offer. system December 28, 2010, 8:04pm #5 This is a compiler problem. I think you are using the avr-gcc as your AVR Compiler when you really should be using avr-g++. "Serial." is a C++ header, so you need to be using avr-g++. By using avr-gcc, you are trying to compile it as C code, when it actually is C++ code. So, this is giving you errors. To fix this, right click your project and go to Properties. Go to C/C++ Build > Settings > AVR Compiler. There is a text box for "Command:" There should already be something there, and I think it would be "avr-gcc". Change it to "avr-g++" and click OK. This should fix the error, but if not, perhaps you need to add some more code. says that you may need to add an extra function when using C++ headers. Copy and paste that block of code into your main.c file. I don't know what that block of code does :P, but it might help. For reference, I do not have that block of code; I just have the avr-g++ as my AVR Compiler, and everything still works.

Ever since taking a Psychology of Sleep course as an undergraduate, I've been completely fascinated by the connections between the 1/3 of our lives that we spend sleeping and dreaming and our memories. In cognitive neuroscience, we have the incredible opportunity to ask big questions. Why do parts of my day appear in my dreams? Are memories being processed during sleep? Does sleep help me retain certain kinds of memories, but not others? My goal is to explore sleep, dreaming, and memory through my scientific research, as well as in art and scientific communication. I would love to see so many more conversations about the science, art, symbolism, and role in our lives of sleep, dreaming, and memory. If you're interested in collaborating on a project, I would love to hear from you. Contact me I am currently a PhD student at the University of Toronto. I'm also an artist working in video, installation, and more recently, artificial intelligence. You can follow my artwork and science communication on my Instagram.

If you know the story of Frosty the Snowman, you know the features and adornments his builder outfitted him with: the magical hat, a button nose, coal for eyes and a corncob pipe. This construction has become a model for children making snowmen around the world. Don't go out and spend money on a corncob pipe, however, when you can easily make one at home. Because your snowman won't actually be smoking out of the pipe, you can use some household items to build a simple corncob pipe that can add personality to your snowman. Advertisement Step 1 Cut a corn cob with a kitchen knife to measure between 5 and 6 inches long. Use a smaller knife to round out the bottom of the corn cob, so that it is shaped like a bowl. Video of the Day Step 2 From the flat end of the cob, carve out the center of the cob, until the hole is about two inches deep. Leave at least half an inch of circle around the top to form the rim of the pipe. Advertisement Step 3 Set the corn cob on a piece of newspaper in a dry area of your home so that it dries completely. Step 4 Paint a plastic straw yellow or orange to match the corn cob you are using for your pipe. Allow the paint to dry completely; this can take a few hours, depending on the type of paint you used. Advertisement Step 5 Insert the straw into the corn cob, about halfway between the rim and bowl-shaped base. Push the straw into the corn cob until it is securely in place. Tip Don’t worry if your measurements are a little imprecise while you are making your corncob pipe. Because no one will actually be using the pipe. Size can vary. If you have trouble securing the straw to the corn cob, cut out a small hole in the side of the cob and apply a little bit of glue. Insert the straw, and allow the glue to dry completely. Warning Children may want to help you make a corn cob pipe for their snowmen. However, make sure that an adult handles all cutting and handling of sharp knives.

Fitness is often a topic of conversation around the new year. But where and how Americans choose to work out has evolved over the past several years. From 2019 to 2020–a time that we might now consider the early stages of the pandemic–working out several times a week increased. However, after that initial surge, interest in working out stabilized and then decreased, essentially returning to pre-pandemic levels. Unsurprisingly, working out in a gym initially decreased from 2019 to 2020, with widespread gym closures potentially fueling this trend. This number has failed to bounce back fully in 2021. Today, more than a third of U.S. adults say they are most likely to work out in their home this year, followed by exercising outside. Just 16% indicated a gym or studio will be their go-to. As the data show, interest in returning to a gym or fitness studio skews towards adults aged 18-24, with those aged 25 to 34 showing stronger likelihood as well Gen Xers represent a strong percentage of outdoor fitness-goers. And while women are more likely to work out at home than men are, men prefer the great outdoors or the gym. COVID exposure or diagnosis seems to decrease concerns of working out with others indoors, with those who have been exposed or diagnosed with the virus more comfortable in a gym or fitness studio setting. Gyms and fitness studios may also serve a social need, as those who are working remotely are the most likely to be working out in a gym or studio this year. What’s not surprising is that those who plan to workout at home have prioritized new exercise equipment. But what is somewhat surprising is that those who plan to workout in a gym or studio are the most likely to have plans to buy new equipment. So as we look into 2022, it’s clear that while some exercisers are ready to return to gym and studio fitness, at-home fitness is here to stay…at least for now.

According to Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc, he is "certainly one of the most exciting players in Europe.” And as Jadon Sancho makes waves in German football and celebrates a senior England call-up, it is difficult to argue with that assessment. Frustrated at Manchester City and seeing no clear pathway into Pep Guardiola’s first team despite having total belief in his ability, a 17-year-old Sancho pushed for City to let him leave last summer. Subsequently, BVB – yearning to replace Ousmane Dembele following his mega-money move to Barcelona – handed over £10million to take a player rated as among the best in his age group anywhere on the planet. Sancho rejected £30,000-a-week to remain at the Etihad alongside pal Phil Foden. You can question his methods – staying away from training at one point – but 14 months on, you cannot question the end result. "Brave" is what England boss Gareth Southgate calls his decision to move. And while Foden, the Golden Ball winner at last year’s Under-17 World Cup, is left scratching for minutes at City – and granted more have come his way this term – Sancho is proving increasingly pivotal at the Westfalenstadion. Last season offered Sancho, now 18, a taste of what it was all about; amid a tricky season where Peter Bosz lasted less than six months and Peter Stoger was an ill fit, Sancho made 12 appearances totalling 685 minutes and gave glimpses of his burgeoning talent. This season, under the guidance of a proven developer of young talent in Lucien Favre, Sancho has taken the Bundesliga by storm. He’s yet to start a league game, but has appeared as a substitute in all six so far, showing an aptitude for entering the fray and turning matches in Dortmund’s favour; bending them to his will with his pace, dribbling ability and calmness in the final third. Nowhere was that more apparent than in last weekend’s trip to Bayer Leverkusen. Called off the bench with his side 2-1 down with 22 minutes remaining, he’d been on the field a matter of seconds before keeper Roman Burki threw him the ball inside his own half; Sancho raced forwards, played a couple of exchanges with Marco Reus, and teed up the Germany international to equalise. He would add another assist to his total in injury time as Dortmund won 4-2. He himself is cool about the situation, knowing he must continue working hard to nail down a starting spot – "Obviously I don’t want to be a sub" – whilst simultaneously gaining a reputation as a ‘joker’, the word used when Germans describe their game-changer from the bench. The Champions League has offered starts, and against Monaco he again made a keen impression. With the game locked at 0-0, a clever vertical pass through the Monaco backline put the opening goal on a plate for Jacob Bruun Larsen. Sancho is making the most of every available minute; no player in Europe has managed more than his eight assists so far this season – despite them coming in just 317 minutes. In the Bundesliga he’s averaging one every 20 minutes and has an xA90 (expected goals per 90) of 1.05. No player to have played more than 100 minutes gets anywhere near that right now. Increasingly, it is a matter of time before a place in the first XI is definitively his. His starring role against Monaco was proof for Southgate that now is the time to bring him into the senior set-up and take a look; on Tuesday, a first Under-21 call had looked more likely. But his ability to commit opponents at pace and open up opposing defences with his dribbling is something England lack. Two-footed, capable of going either way, after terrorising the French side at Europe’s elite level he simply couldn’t be ignored and becomes the first player born in 2000 to make the senior squad Former England under-16 coach Dan Micciche believes Sancho can be England’s answer to Neymar while Marco Reus has credited him with helping to return "euphoria" to the North Rhine. The boy from Watford now has the platform to showcase his quality and make himself crucial in the next step of Southgate’s England evolution.

A ‘safe space‘ or ‘safer spaces‘ refers to a space that was created for folks who experience marginalization to gather, share common experiences, communicate, heal and organized. People taking the seat(s) of leaders, facilitators, organizers or teachers in the space hold the boundaries of the space, usually with zero tolerance policies for violence, harassment, or hate speech, including microaggressions. These “boundary holders” usually understand the particular ways in which certain marginalized groups may uniquely experience oppression and act as gatekeepers to protect the space. No space can be made entirely safe. Boundary holders work to keep a space as safe as possible, hence the term ‘safer space’. WHY ARE SAFER SPACES IMPORTANT IN HEALING WORK? Simply put, it is very challenging to do healing work beside the same people you experience oppression from. People existing within marginalized communities often have complex layers of trauma due the varied ways they experience oppression and violence. Here is an example: When compared to White Men, white heterosexual women and white non-men are at higher risk of experiencing domestic violence in intimate relationships. White heterosexual women living in poverty may not have the means to escape a violent situation or seek healing work. This might lead one to believe that simply not having men in a space where women are is enough to make the space safe, or making a space financially affordable makes the space “safe” Racialized women however, may experience additional, complex layers of violence. They may experience racial violence at the hands of White women, in addition to the even high rates of domestic violence they face. Simply having no men in the room or having a less cost barriers may still not be enough to create a safer space for racialized women and non-men. There are additional layers of complexity: Racialized queer people experience even more complex layers of systemic oppression. One example is that their experiences may even not be included at all in research around domestic violence at all. Health and wellness service providers may also lack of understanding and awareness of distinct experiences of abuse of LGBTQ+ people. They might rely on myths and stereotypes for information which can contribute to misunderstanding or minimizing of the risk experienced by LGBT people. Health and wellness service providers may also lack of awareness of the spectrum of sexual and gender identities. This exclusion leads to total erasure when people gather to come up with solutions or create healing modalities. OPPRESSION IS A COMPOUNDING TRAUMA Marginalization exists in multitudes and layers. When people with privilege create solutions they may create solutions with holes and blind spots – it’s important that marginalized communities find healing and solutions within their own communities as the solutions that emerge in these spaces are like to be more holistic and effective. People who live with mobility disabilities may not be able to attend a meeting in a healing space that is not accessible (has stairs, too narrow for a chair to safely move through). People living with invisible disabilities may be excluded as well. Racialized women may not be able to afford healing practices with high price points and will not be safe in spaces where racism, colonial mindset, or xenophonia/nationalism is present. Queer bodies may experience erasure in spaces that use gendered language, have gendered washrooms and will not be safe in spaces where homophobia or trans-antagonism is present. Women & non-men may experience judgement, silencing and opposition when expressing their experiences of domestic or systemic violence when men are present in a space, making the space less safe for women and non-men to be their most authentic self. When we create healing work we have to ask ourselves: “Who is this “Healing Work” really for?” If it’s a space where “everyone can heal“, then we have to take into considerations the barriers that this “everyone” group faces, and what exactly it is that they are “healing” from. If it’s not a space for “everyone” we need to be honest about that, and really clear about who the space is for so that we do not create additional harm in out attempts to create healing. “When marginalized groups have to invest time explaining their experiences to non-marginalized people they do so at the cost of time they could have spent healing or working towards collective inclusive solutions.“

Are you wondering how to start a nutrition business? If so, welcome to Nutrition Geeks. I am glad you have made it here. There most certainly has never been a better time than now to get started as entrepreneur. Of course, there are major reasons for considering a home business rather than a brick and mortar business. You don't have to deal with payroll, employees, maintenance costs of your building and utility bills. In fact, your can operate your nutrition business from your laptop. No, it isn't simple and will require some up front work. That being said, it is most certainly worth it. Residual income is income that continues to come in for having worked hard once. It isn't like the linear income you have to keep reporting to work in order to receive. What happens to the average employee's paycheck the moment they stop showing up to work or laid off? Does their employer continue to pay them regardless if they work or not? Of course not, that is not how we all have been taught about money right? We have been told to work hard for money and not been taught how to make money work hard for us. My goal with this post is to share with you a business opportunity you may want to consider. Why Consider Herbalife? Herbalife was founded in 1980 by the late Mark Hughes. Mark was a committed and driven entrepreneur who wanted people to live their happiest, healthiest and wealthiest life possible. The company is now located in 94 countries around the world and is only a one-time investment of $94.10 USD to join as a distributor. No, I will not lie to you and say that is simple. You have to think outside the box. Remember, every Herbalife distributor gets the same distributor website. In addition, most distributors are following the same advice which is to post on social media. In addition, to find their family and friends and share Herbalife with them. What if these people are not interested in what you have to offer? So, the goal is to find those that are already searching for Herbalife. You seeking how to start a nutrition business already tells me you are seeking success. Perhaps, you have a desire for wealth, health and better lifestyle. I know you already know how to work hard. I would recommend working smart and joining Herbalife as a distributor. Remember, all new preferred members (customers) and distributors (home based business owners) need to sign up under a sponsor. The reason is that Herbalife is not sold in stores. I, too, had to join under a sponsor. I will serve as yours if you choose to join today. You can simply click the green button below to get started. It is a simple process to join and the steps to join are listed on our registration page. JOIN HERBALIFE TODAY Why Consider Me as Your Sponsor Of course, we all have to join under a sponsor which is a distributor. I didn't even know my sponsor. In fact, I simply watched a YouTube video, found his sponsor ID and joined that way. You are more than welcome our about page if you would like to know more about me if you wish. That being said, will share a few details here. I am a 2:19 marathoner, former member of the US Army World Class Athlete Program and Herbalife Global Expansion Team (GET) distributor. No, I didn't get to this rank quickly and it has taken time. You have to understand the way I build my nutrition business is not the normal way distributors are taught. I rarely use social media. To be honest, I just didn't feel like sharing Herbalife with people who were not interested. In addition, the old, tired way, of messaging strangers on Facebook or Instagram just wasn't appealing to me. I am sure that may be a turn off to you. So, I worked for over 2 years writing about Herbalife and sharing occasional videos on YouTube. My goal was a long-term approach. Of course, you can build your nutrition business using social media. In fact, the vast majority of distributors are building their businesses this way. So, it can work and others have become successful Herbalife distributors using this method. Remember, there are many ways to build your team of preferred members and distributors. Is Selling Herbalife Worth It? Yes, but you have to be committed. Herbalife is not a pyramid scheme. In addition, the company is not going to pay you any money unless you move product. Again, the more people you help the higher your chances of building residual income. Income that continues to come in for having worked hard once. The majority of us have not been taught this strategic way of earning income. Yes, you may love your job but there is only so much work or service you can provide in an 8 to 12 hour day. In addition, you have to start over every day regardless if you love or hate what you do “for a living”. How to start a nutrition business with Herbalife is simply taking action and joining. Herbalife distributors, like customers (preferred members) receive a lifetime, 25 percent discount when they join. In addition, once you make it to the distributor rank of supervisor you will earn a 50 percent discount on your future product orders. Also, distributors who work smart, build their teams and help people earn higher commissions, bonuses and rise in rank. That being said, you have to be consistent. You may choose to use social media to build your team or other methods. The key is being willing to help other people to get what they want. How Do I Start an Online Nutrition Business? First, make the decision to join as a Herbalife distributor. Once you join, you will be able to login to Herbalife and order your products directly from the company. As mentioned above, Herbalife provides all new distributors with their own website. So, you will want to share your website with people online as well as offline. You can take a look at mine here to see what yours will look like. Again, Herbalife is now located in 94 countries around the world. I am in the united States of America. So, prices on my site are in USD. Also, the prices you see listed are retail prices. Remember, we as distributors and preferred members (customers) get our products at wholesale prices. The vast majority of people who will join your business will do so as a preferred member. The reality is most people just want to get Herbalife products at the most affordable prices. Preferred members pay a one-time fee of $34.95 USD (or the equivalent in your countries currency) to join. Herbalife also makes it very easy to go from being a preferred member to a distributor. In fact, I have had many preferred members on my own team who have converted to be distributors. It is a one-time fee of $59.95 USD in order to do this. Herbalife Preferred Membership The Herbalife preferred member fee is paid annually. Herbalife membership is good for 1 year. So, we pay a small annual fee on our Herbalife anniversary. The good news is that the fee is small. It is $79 USD to “re-up” for another year as a distributor and only $15 USD for preferred members. Remember, if you choose to be a distributor that $79 fee is a business write off at the end of the year. The process of how to start a nutrition business as a Herbalife distributor is simple. You will need your sponsors ID number and the first three letters of your sponsors last name. You can click on the button below to see my ID number and first three letters of my last name. The same steps you will follow to join are the exact same steps I followed to join Herbalife. The great news is that it only takes a few minutes. Once you join you will then take a few short mandatory distributor online classes which take about an hour to complete. Once those are completed you will be qualified to start sharing Herbalife with others. How Can I Make Money from Nutrition? Duplication. Again, the key here is to work smarter, not necessarily harder. The vast majority of people who work hard at full-time or part-time jobs are barely making ends meet financially, respectfully. The truth is jobs do not have the mathematical methods of wealth built into them. There are only 24 hours in a day. You and I need sleep, get tired and become irritable. Well, your nutrition business as a distributor does not get tired. The internet never sleeps. So, the key is working in a way where you will be paid regardless what time it is, even while you sleep. The bad news is that it won't happen quickly or easily. You have to be strategic in how you build your business. Of course, you focus on a short-term and quicker method (social media messaging people) or long term (starting a blog). So, it all depends on how you want to go about this. Does your employer pay you a percentage of the work all of the other co-workers at your company do? No. You are only paid for the work that you do. Now, imagine if you earned a percentage of the work they did. How much quicker would wealth build for you? Well, being a distributor means you are paid for helping others to get what they want first. You earn a percentage of each sale each one of your preferred members and distributors makes. Remember, the more people you help the more they will help you. How Can I Earn an Extra $1000 Per Month? I wrote an extensive, over 7000 word post about this titled digital entrepreneurship. What is also on the list, how to start a nutrition business with Herbalife. Remember, there are many ways to earn income online. My top recommended way is to start a blog and write about Herbalife. You already know a lot about nutrition and perhaps have some background in business as well. The network marketing business model has created more millionaires than any other business model in existence. No, it isn't simple and I cannot guarantee you will make any money with Herbalife. My sponsor couldn't guarantee me that either. I was able to do it because I was fully committed to creating content. My job isn't to shove Herbalife down anyone's throat. It is their job to take action or not. All I can do is share some tips, guide and be there for support. Of course, it is my hope that you and others will start your own nutrition business with Herbalife. I write this because of the many benefits the company has provided to me. You will earn the level of income your actions warrant. Are you more of an introvert? Well, create content via blogging or start your own YouTube channel. It is free to start one. In addition, only a small investment to start a blog. Closing Thoughts I hope this post on how to start a nutrition business with Herbalife has been helpful. Again, the way you build your team is seeking the right people out. What you don't want is to beat up people's Facebook and Instagram feeds with information they are not interested in. So, seek ways to find the people that are already seeking what Herbalife has to offer. Teachers, coaches and athletes are great people to see out. These individuals are already motivated. You will also find motivated people in all types of careers from secretaries, truck drivers, bank tellers, to name a few. Remember, for every “No” you get there are 100 “Yes's” out there. How you build your nutrition business is entirely up to you. You can use your social media outlets, start a blog or YouTube/TikTok channel. The key is to be consistent and be patient enough to see it through. Feel free to e-mail me at nathanpennington [at] protonmail [dot] com if you have any questions or concerns.

The backlash began immediately. After Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album, Core, on Sept. 29, 1992, the California rockers became equally embraced by some rock fan and reviled by others. Beginning with the lead single “Sex Type Thing,” radio loved STP. Critics largely despised the band, perceiving them as grunge poseurs, a group desperately attempting to mimic the Seattle sound. Listeners couldn’t read or hear about Stone Temple Pilots without obligatory comparisons to Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Although annoyed by copy-cat notions, the Pilots handled the situation well in the press, pointing out that “Plush” had been written back in 1989 (two years before Pearl Jam had released anything). Meanwhile, they complimented the bands from the Pacific Northwest while suggesting that any musical similarities likely stemmed from shared influences. Just like Nirvana and their ilk, the guys in STP liked a mix of ’70s hard rock and ’80s post-punk. As a young fan, frontman Scott Weiland became part of Los Angeles’s hardcore scene. The story goes that a teenage Weiland met bass player Robert DeLeo at a mid-’80s Black Flag show in Long Beach and the two became fast friends, soon forming Mighty Joe Young with drummer Eric Kretz and Robert’s older brother Dean DeLeo on guitar. The band began to write songs, with Weiland penning the majority of lyrics and the DeLeo brothers handling most of the music. They drew from musicians they had loved for a long time, with Robert crediting Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” for inspiring the quieter, acoustic-based “Creep” and Dean drawing from Led Zeppelin on “Sex Type Thing.” “This song reminds me of ‘In The Light’ by Zeppelin,” Dean told Spin in 1993. “I was in my driveway and heard that riff, so I went inside and came up with this, all the time totally prompted by ‘In The Light.’ ... Except because the music was inside and I was outside, it sounded different. You know how you can hear music sometimes in a different way? I heard it ‘buh-neh-buh-neh-buh-neh,’ which is like the riff idea to ‘Sex Type Thing,’ and ran in and hit it out on the classical guitar.” When Dean brought it to Weiland, he thought it sounded like Sonic Youth, and wrote lines that sought to send up domineering, macho attitudes. As a lyricist, Weiland was influenced by some of the darker elements that he perceived in the world, from organized religion (“Naked Sunday”) to everyday loss of love and life (“Plush”). The singer explained the track’s tragic inspiration years later. “This is another one of those songs that Robert and I just came up with, before we actually had a record deal, when we were working across the street from one another,” Weiland said on VH1 Storytellers in 2000. “And the lyrics to this song were actually inspired by a true story. A girl, whose name I won’t mention, was kidnapped and then later found tragically murdered back in the early part of the ’90s. It sorta gave me fuel to write the words to the song. However, the song is not about that really, it is sort of a metaphor for a lost obsessive relationship.” Because of a 1990 demo tape and a steadily building reputation for hard-edged, but melodic, concerts in Southern California, Mighty Joe Young signed to Atlantic Records in 1992. They quickly entered Rumbo Recorders in the San Fernando Valley, working with producer Brendan O’Brien, fresh off his work with the Black Crowes and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The match appeared to be perfect. “It was awesome working with him,” Weiland said after the album came out. “The way things are now, it looks like he’ll be producing all of our future records. He’s not the kind of producer who wants to tell an artist what to do and pushes his own sound.” While O’Brien would remain a fixture for the band’s recordings – producing their first five albums – one element of the group was about to change. Just before finalizing the music and artwork for the big debut, Mighty Joe Young found out that a bluesman had already laid claim to that name. A new moniker, Stone Temple Pilots, was chosen by the quartet, due to Weiland’s memory of the STP motor oil logo. The newly named Stone Temple Pilots released Core – supposedly named for the infamous apple in the Garden of Eden – in the fall of 1992, courting instant controversy, not just with a grungy sound and Weiland’s Eddie Vedder-esque vocals, but also because of the lyrics to “Sex-Type Thing.” Certain critics and listeners took Weiland’s adopted aggro persona at face value, assuming the single wasn’t belittling rape culture, but celebrating it with words such as, “I am a man, a man / I’ll give ya something that ya won’t forget / I said you shouldn’t have worn that dress.” “‘Sex Type Thing’ is pretty much a song about rape and sexual persecution of women in our macho, male-dominated society and the attitudes towards women, sexually, as objects and not as equal human beings,” Weiland said. “I’m putting myself in the mind of the typical American jerk with a totally unoriginal attitude about women.” Despite the negative press (and maybe even aided a little by it), Stone Temple Pilots quickly became a big-name band, initially touring with Megadeth and Rage Against the Machine before graduating to a headlining tour in 1993, when Core went platinum in the U.S. The album stayed on the Billboard chart for more than two years, peaking at No. 3, while MTV put STP videos into heavy rotation and “Plush,” “Creep” and “Sex Type Thing” became (and remain) rock radio staples. Grammys and Video Music Awards followed. Although the band would go on to have continued success through the ’90s (and shed their bad reputation as grunge pretenders), STP’s debut is still their best-selling album, at least in the States, where it stands as eight-timed platinum. For Core’s 25th anniversary in 2017, the album was re-released in a deluxe edition that included the band’s original Mighty Joe Young demos, as well as b-sides and live material.

The business world is constantly in flux, and businesses that want to stay ahead of the curve need to be prepared to adapt rapidly. While stability is essential, it’s also important to be open to new trends and opportunities. The key is finding a balance between being too rigid and too reactionary. Staying ahead of the competition is essential for businesses, and that often requires being able to react quickly to changes in the market. Trends come and go, and what’s popular today may not be popular tomorrow. It’s crucial to stay on top of these changes and be prepared to adapt your business accordingly. Those who choose not to go to lengths to adapt might fall behind the competitive scale. There are countless examples of businesses that have failed because they could not adapt to changing times. Blockbuster, for example, didn’t embrace the digital age of movie streaming and was quickly eclipsed by Netflix.

Welsh Black cattle are a very old British Breed known for their ability to convert poor quality forage into excellent meat and milk. They are a dual-purpose breed, but in North America they have been used in beef programs to improve the quality of commercial herds. We started out with Welsh Black bulls to breed our commercial cows, and through a bit of serendipity, quickly found ourselves with over 50 head of Fullblood Welsh Blacks, mostly registered. We raise our cattle exclusively on pasture and hay. Calves are born on pasture in April and May, and are left with their mothers until February or March of the following year. Cattle are rotationally grazed, and are moved twice per week to new pasture. Even with the drought we experienced for the past few years, we are seeing the quality of our soils and pasture stands improve using this method. We have found the Welsh Blacks to be a pleasure to work with. They are exceptionally docile and easy to manage, and they are excellent producers and mothers. These cattle have a tremendous deep, long frame. They have the largest ribeye area of any breed. Their double haircoat allows them to thrive in the coldest conditions, and they require about 30% less feed than breeds with less hair. During the summer they are slick and shiny. Welsh Blacks perform exceptionally well in cross-breeding programs; calves have excellent growth rates, frame quality, and hardiness.

The Alliance produces FREE public events every year including the Fall Symposium where industry experts and community members gather to share ideas, and The Water Festival every Spring in downtown DeLand, Florida, where individuals, businesses, families, children, and community associations come together to share, learn, have fun, and celebrate our most precious natural resource—our water. An early meeting of Volusia Water Alliance members. Around the table from the left: Patrick Shannon, Saundra Gray, Jane Durocher, Clay Henderson, Sharon Leboffe, Stephen Kintner, Keith Riger, Mariellen Calabro.

Twin Horseshoes is publishing its first children’s book! Coming soon, Frank the Fish Finds His Forever Home is a story about a betta fish named Frank. Frank is more person than fish. He loves his people, he likes his routine, and he knows what he wants. Unlike most fish, he’s very expressive and is more than capable of conveying his displeasure or joy. After a journey full of ups and downs, Frank realizes that home isn’t about where you live, it’s about who you love and who loves you. I feel very lucky to do what I do, helping people to publish their stories, and this book is the perfect example. Not only does it contain themes like moving, pet care, and what it means to be a family, but it includes thoughtful information on the ideas of adoption and acceptance, trust and change. We can all learn from a little fish called Frank. I can’t wait to read this book to my daughters. What makes this book even more special is that it’s based on the true story of a real betta fish named Frank. Finding his forever home is just the beginning…stay tuned for more of Frank’s adventures in the coming months. Please join me in congratulating the author, Sarah Burnett-Murray, and illustrator, Cory Cole, for creating such a magical children’s book! Share this: Tweet More Email Like this: Like Loading...

The day after Opening Day always kind of sucks, because of the bizarre tradition of scheduling an off day on the second day of the season. But sitting through the off day is a lot better after an Opening Day win, when you are anxious to see your team get back on the field and try to make it two in a row, than after a loss, when you have 48 hours to brood about the crappy start to the season. Jeff Wilson's game story from yesterday talks about the bats finally coming to life against Shaun Marcum, who entered the 7th with a no-hitter going. What was particularly maddening about yesterday is that, after all the happy talk this spring about the changed approach and how the offense is going to be better than last year, through six innings, it was like 2009 all over again. Marcum kept going to his change-up, and the Rangers kept swinging through it, much like last year, when it seemed like every time a Ranger hitter got to 3-2, he'd end up whiffing on a change. Tom Grieve kept talking about how this was just an instance of a pitcher having great stuff and shutting down a strong offense, but it seems like we heard that refrain a lot last year, as well. I'd really like to see the offense step it up the next two games against Brian Tallet and Ricky Romero...an Opening Day that featured 6 hits and 2 walks from the offense is not encouraging. Evan Grant says that the offense battled back and showed resilience, along with a better approach with two strikes. Grant notes that last year's club was 28th in the majors in OBP once there were two strikes, a big issue that Clint Hurdle has been working with the hitters on. T.R. Sullivan also has his game story up at the Rangers website. Richard Durrett notes that, lost in the excitement of the walk-off win, Darren Oliver had a pretty huge 2010 season debut, coming in with the bases loaded and one out in relief of Neftali Feliz, and getting out of the jam with no more damage done. Scott Feldman says he was a little "fastball happy" early in the game, but started throwing all his pitches as the game went on, leading to increased success while keeping the Blue Jays from extending the lead any farther. The S-T's notes include a mention of how long-time Ranger nemesis Vladimir Guerrero got a rousing ovation from the home crowd. Kevin Sherrington has a column up on yesterday's home opener. Ditto Randy Galloway. Off the field, Sullivan writes that Ian Kinsler is "not close" to being ready to return. The plan is for him to go on a rehab assignment once he's ready to play, and he's apparently still a ways away from that point. And Anthony Andro says that Chuck Greenberg isn't worried about the delay in getting the Rangers' sale done.

Today I finished Polly took some picts and now she’s gone. I am tying a new warp onto Polly using some beautiful tsumugi silk (from Habu) with some spun silk in silvery grey. I am about halfway through the tying-on process, but having twisted fringes this morning my quota for the utterly mindless studio chores is filled for the day. So I began winding the warp (not utterly mindless) for the second (and sure to be much better) double weave baby blanket in sock yarn. I have a design in mind – I’m so excited . . . On a parallel note (the weavers’ antidote to mindless weaving chores), I have to put a plug in for my newly beloved New Yorker Fiction Podcast . You can download (for free!) from iTunes New Yorker writers reading short stories they have picked by other New Yorker writers and then talking about what the stories mean to them, etc. Unbelievably great.

This morning in Kabul, Afghanistan, more than 40 people were killed and dozens more wounded when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest. He got inside a building that housed a cultural center and a news agency, both associated with Shiite Islam. ISIS has claimed responsibility for this attack. And for more on this and on the growing ISIS presence in Afghanistan, we're joined by Reuters bureau chief James Mackenzie from Kabul. Welcome to the program. JAMES MACKENZIE: Hello. SIEGEL: And first, tell us a bit about these targets, a cultural center and a news agency. MACKENZIE: Yes, it's a slightly unusual target. There have been a number of attacks on Shiite sites in Afghanistan recently. Most have been mosques or else demonstrations of people from the Hazara community, which is mainly Shiite. This one was on this sort of cultural center, this news agency, which were housed in a building in a kind of mainly Shiite area of the city. And, yeah, as you saying, it was claimed by Islamic State, which made the explicit link with the fact that it was a Shiite center and said it was receiving support from Iran, which is something they have done in past attacks as well. SIEGEL: What was going on inside this building at the time of the attack? MACKENZIE: There was a kind of panel discussion going on, you know, involving researchers. There were students in the audience. It was a sort of - a conference about the anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And while this was going on, this explosion happened in the middle of the big room where it was all - where the event was taking place. And, you know, that's where a great, you know, bulk of the casualties were caused. SIEGEL: And you say that ISIS, Islamic State, which is drawn from Sunni Islam, from the majority Orthodox stream of Islam, specifically spoke of the Shiite or the pro-Iranian nature of these targets that it has selected. And that's typical of what ISIS has been doing? MACKENZIE: That is typical of what ISIS has been doing. It's been a very, you know, nasty and unwelcome development over the past two years roughly. Previously, attacks on Shiite targets specifically - you know, this sectarian thing that is so widely seen in places like Iraq was very rare in Afghanistan. But since the beginning of 2016, really, there have been, you know, many of them - you know, around about 12, I think - claimed by Islamic State with the apparent aim of sort of fomenting this kind of sectarian violence that's seen in other areas that was quite rare in Afghanistan before. SIEGEL: How active is ISIS in the country? And does the level of its activity there have to do with the defeats that it has experienced in Iraq and Syria recently? MACKENZIE: Well, that last question is really one that nobody knows the answer to. It's one of the great questions there is. Islamic State has been active in Afghanistan for the past three years or so. It first appeared in kind of the very beginning of 2015 in an area in eastern Afghanistan on the border with Pakistan, and has since sort of spread its activities in other areas of the country. But its exact nature is still really a bit of a question. SIEGEL: Kabul, being the capital of the country, is I believe the most heavily fortified place in Afghanistan. Was there security at all at this site? And what did people make of the ability of the attacker to get through whatever security there was? MACKENZIE: Well, certainly the center of Kabul, in the area where the foreign embassies and the many government buildings are, is very heavily fortified - concrete blast walls, police checkpoints, barbed wire everywhere. But, you know, it's a big city. There's, you know, 5 million inhabitants or so. And a city that size can't be locked down completely. So outside this sort of government center that level of security isn't seen. Questions will be asked about what security arrangements were taken. But, you know, once you get outside the kind of diplomatic area, you know, the security isn't quite - isn't nearly as tight. And, you know, there are opportunities for these attacks to take place.

Periscape VR Experience Centers, a location-based VR startup, opened its first location in New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport earlier this month. “Many airports are becoming some of the most successful shopping malls in the world,” Founder and CEO Lynn Rosenthal explained during my visit to Periscape’s new location, “We have a captive audience looking for something to do.” Seventy thousand people a day pass through Terminal 4, which mostly handles international flights. Many of travelers will wait in the terminal for hours. Average dwell time in Terminal 4 is three to four hours. And, unlike a normal mall, Terminal 4 is booming eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When I visited at 9 in the morning Thursday, all twelve stations in Periscape’s VR towers were in use. This makes JFK’s Terminal 4 just about the perfect location for VR. Periscape VR Station in Terminal 4 of New York’s JFK airport ready for boarding. The VR Towers (don’t call them kiosks) are beautifully designed, with large video monitors that preview titles, promote sponsors and content, and allow others to watch what users are doing in the virtual world. Rosenthal explained that the video exposure is important to brands and the company will eventually sell some of its visual real estate to others marketers seeking to reach the 21 M people who will walk past Periscape annually. The VR towers are designed to be operated without an attendant, though at JFK there are two Periscape brand ambassadors to provide customer service. It’s easy to get into VR using the simple self-serve interface Periscape worked with VRsenal to develop, which works in nine languages. It dispenses hygienic cleaning wipes and even has a built-in locker where you can lock up your carry-ons while immersed in VR. Periscape now offers users seven titles, including the Blu, Job Simulator, Longbow and Fruit Ninja, Notes on Blindness, MasterpieceVR and is planning to add more weekly. Rosenthal says the ideal number of titles is twelve to eighteen. Periscape is nestled among high end retail, duty free shops, bars and restaurants in Terminal 4. Periscape is located in the middle of the retail lounge, adjacent to luxury retailers like Brooks Brothers, Coach, Juicy Couture, and Michael Kors. Brock Myers, Senior Manager, Commercial, for JFK International Air Terminal, told me Periscape has been an immediate hit. “It’s really enhanced the overall customer experience we strive to create.” The company is already in discussions with JFK to install VR Towers in additional areas of Terminal 4. VR is showing up more public places for a variety of reasons. While the price and complexity of PC-based VR with the Vive or Rift is a deterrent to home users, it is a small investment for a business. Even though these VRcades are relatively inexpensive to open, they still must bear the cost of real estate, labor and marketing, and the vexing problem of utilization (not enough seats Saturday, too many seats the rest of the week). Putting Periscape in an airport terminal with long dwell times solves all of these problems. They are open 18 hours a day at JFK right now (a normal retail location can only do 12 hours on a Saturday). Attendants are optional, and will not be needed in many locations. The Periscape stations are completely self-serve. The average dwell time for international passengers in . terminal 4 is four hours. Rosenthal told me utilization is over 60%. Let’s do the math: 6 stations, running 18 hours a day, at one dollar a minute gives a max gross potential of $1,080 per machine per day, or $6,480 for six stations. In a week, the max potential is $45,360. That’s $2,358,720 per year. Even if utilization fell to half of what Rosenthal reported for first month, this would still be the surest, more profitable LBVR venture we’ve seen. Rosenthal was so sure the venture would succeed herself that she’s financed the entire company out of her own pocket. This has enabled her to travel light and work fast. Periscape already has exclusive arrangements with 229 airports, including Paris, Dubai, Shanghai, Singapore, and Atlanta. Rosenthal left CBS in the mid-90s and started consulting with celebrities and other clients that needed to brand themselves (and sometime re-brand themselves). This led to work with major retail brands who have suffered as retail has continued its freefall. Rosenthal explained that retail is down 15% year over year for the last several years, except in airports. As someone who spends a lot of time in airports, Rosenthal knew first hand how little there is to do there, except shop. At the same time, as the result of another consulting engagement, she was exposed to VR. Rosenthal immediately understood this could solve problems shared across industries. When she started to drill down into the idea, she got a lot of affirmation. HP, which has an interest both supporting location-based VR companies and getting people to use its WindowsMR headset, immediately offered its support, providing hardware, expertise, and introductions to become Periscape’s first industry sponsor. “Consulting is not scalable,” Rosenthal told me. “VR has no limits.” She hastened to add she is passionate about the essence of the LBVR business: exposing people to techn0logy which will play an increasingly large role in their lives. “This is how it begins,” she said. Self-serve VR. Periscape is tiny, with only four full-time staff, but with the success of the JFK location, it is poised to grow quickly. The company has so much inbound business it’s added well-known VR industry consultant Amy Peck as its Chief Strategy Officer. Rosenthal estimates there will be over 1,000 units in the field within the next year and hinted that big announcements will be coming soon.

Seven years into the journey of Soma International, we have now been able to obtain our official non-profit status! This journey has been an integral part of our lives as students, working professionals, and as volunteers that believe in Soma wholeheartedly. Since 2012, we have been able to collect over 10,000 books, and have had generous donors supply us with their efforts and financial means. Through these efforts, we have been able to open two rural learning centers in Tanzania! Pictures of our first library and learning center at Boko, Dar Es Salaam. Pictures of our second library and learning center at Suwa, Handeni, Tanga, affectionately titled ‘Wanda Library’. How did Soma International officially become a non-profit? In August 2019, Mohamed met with the Blacksburg/Christiansburg Rotary Club to present Soma International updates and ask for their help in our endeavors. The club was impressed and inspired by our accomplishments thus far, and felt motivated to help Soma International’s progression. With the Rotary Club’s help, Mohamed was able to meet with a lawyer named Jim Montgomery. Jim generously donated his services to help Soma International get organized to begin the process of becoming a non-profit. Three weeks later, we were notified of our status as a non-profit. We are incredibly excited about our new status, and we hope it will provide us with opportunities to grow in the upcoming year. Soma International is incredibly grateful to the Blacksburg/Christiansburg Rotary Club and Jim Montgomery for everything they have done for us this year. Thank you!

Capturing wildlife and sacred aspects of slow pace life in the interior away from the tourists and in humdrum of hectic city sprawling life. These areas are protected and biodiversity allowed to flourish. Monks worship Buddha, children play with monkeys in the slow tropical forest rivers that meander through small villages and townships. Monsoons are frequent and forest growth rapid providing enormous bamboo, giant leaves and an abundance of habitats for a variety of flora fauna and insects. Karst rock formations so indigenous to SE Asia are formed across the lakes and coasts, littering the countryside with caverns, caves providing home to huge colonies of bats, birds and reptiles.

Mother Russia has been in a technology race with the US forever. While mostly copying American developments for air and space vehicles, it did launch the first human successfully into space. But that was in 1961. Since then it has been mostly crickets. But in 2018, the Russian government announced to the world it was developing a game-changing EV wagon called the Kalashnikov CV-1. If Kalashnikov sounds familiar it’s not because of the CV-1. It’s probably because of the AK-47 assault weapon which comes from gunmaker Kalashnikov. Back in August 2018, it presented the 1970s retro CV-1 EV wagon at the Army 2018 International Military Forum held in Kubinka, near the Russian capital. Russian claims about how revolutionary the CV-1 EV were bold Russian Kalashnikov CV-1 EV | Kalashnikov Touted as containing a number of “complex systems” it felt that these triumphs would “let us stand in the ranks of global electric car producers such as Tesla.” The light-blue EV it was showing off was shy of technical info and had windows too dark to see the interior. No price was given, according to the BBC. But Russia made big claims about how revolutionary the CV-1 really was. Russia said that the CV-1 EV would produce 1,680 hp with a range of 220 miles. Zero-to-62 mph times were around six seconds. All of this was because of the “revolutionary inverter.” Sau, what? While some of these numbers tend to be shy of bleeding-edge technology today keep in mind that this was three-plus years ago. This brings up the next point. The Kalashnikov CV-1 EV has never been seen since Russian Kalashnikov CV-1 EV | Kalashnikov RELATED: Be Glad You Don’t Live In Russia: 2021 Lada Is Really 22 Years Old The Kalashnikov CV-1 has never been seen since. And no one has yet to see the interior. Not to mention that while the Tesla Model 3 is a modern-looking vehicle inside and out, the CV-1 wasn’t. It looked like some kind of 1970s Japanese sedan, though this was configured as a wagon. With the Model 3 as its stated target, it seems like an unusual move. Because things are so bad economically in Russia, and because of increased interest in EVs worldwide, electric vehicles have a Russian following. And some Russian manufacturers have produced EVs in the void. Zetta makes one for $6,100. It’s touted as being the “cheapest EV in the world.” Then there’s the Aviar R67. This is a Tesla Model S rebodied to look like a 1967 Mustang. But there won’t be too many of these floating anywhere around the world. That’s because, with a price of $350,622, who needs an old, electric Mustang made in Russia? Russian EV development has mostly been due to Renault Russian Kalashnikov CV-1 EV | Kalashnikov What does all of this mean? Not a whole lot. As best as anyone can tell the CV-1 was a propaganda tool. If there was any real money or effort behind it we would have seen something by now. Not only is there almost nothing on the internet, but EV development in Russia has mostly been due to Renault. It invested big money into Lada and Dacia to develop some co-ventures into cheap, new vehicles for Russia. But not EVs. At least, not yet. With Russia’s track record of questionable technology advancements since the 1960s, the CV-1 remains a puzzle. Or rather its purpose remains one. We always hoped it would go into production for no other reason than a retro-1970s Japanese-type wagon with electric power would be cool.
