GSoC is almost over and i just pushed all the work i’ve done these three months. It was one of the greatest experiences and i’ve learned a ton of stuff. I feel proud of my work and i can’t wait to see it used in Mailman working environments. For those who don’t know what is all about, a live demo of the app exists here 1. The code is hosted in Launchpad 2 and if you are interested to learn more, i would suggest you start reading the documentation, from the installation 3, to metrics collector 4 and metrics display 5. To learn even more about the functionality of the app, please check the tests that lie in the ‘test app’ directory for each submodule. I would like to thank Wacky (a great mentor) and the rest of Mailman developers for their help. Mailman has a great community and of course i’ll stay here for anything regarding improvements of my app or anything else Mailman-related.

Florida means beaches, fruit trees, sunshine, warm days, and unfortunately… pests. Besides pest control for common insects, living in Cape Coral and Fort Myers means dealing with rats. Rats love the warm weather and an abundance of fruit trees. So why should you be concerned about palm rats? Besides not wanting to share your home with rats, there are very good reasons to have regular pest control service for rats & mice. One main reason is that mice & rats carry diseases and contagions. Another reason is the damage rats & mice can cause. The palm rat will invade a home and while nesting, this rat can destroy siding, insulation, and water & electrical systems. The damage that rats cause to these systems can lead to fires and further damage to your home & automobiles. A third reason to control mice & rats is the cleanliness of your home. Mice & rats leave their waste and droppings wherever they travel inside of your home. This can lead to foul odors, mold, allergies – not to mention the high cost of removing these pests & repairing the damage they caused. Do you want to know how to get rid of rats? As your local pest control company, Security Termite & Pest Control in Cape Coral can help with extermination & prevention of palm rats, roof rats, woodrats and mice. Types of Rats & Mice As a local pest control company, Security Termite & Pest Control is accustomed to controlling the three main types of rat found in the Cape Coral / Fort Myers area. We also contend with a little mouse called the “house mouse.” Here are the most common rats ‘stealing your cheese:’ PALM RAT: The Florida palm rat goes by many names: roof rat, tree rat, fruit rat, citrus rat, or black rat. The palm trees and shrubs around your Cape Coral home, along with abundant water sources, make a literal paradise for the palm rat. NORWAY RAT: The Norway rat is much larger & lighter in color than the Florida palm rat. Preferring the outdoors most of the time, this rat will venture inside your home searching for food & water. This type of rat is especially common in Fort Myers. EASTERN WOODRAT: The woodrat, although less common than the palm rat & Norway rat in the Cape Coral / Fort Myers area. They are often called “pack rats” due to their knack for stealing & storing small objects. HOUSE MOUSE: These little pests are often forgotten about, as much emphasis is placed on rat control instead; however, the dangers & nuisances associated with rats also apply to mice as well. Security Termite & Pest Control in Cape Coral can build a pest control plan for you that includes control methods for the house mouse.

Algorithmics – the systematic development of efficient algorithms – is therefore crucial for transforming technological potential into applications that are important for technology, business, science, and our daily lives. At the institute of theoretical informatics, our group focuses on the "basic toolbox" of methods that are needed in many applications, e.g., sorting, index data structures, route planning in graphs, or partitioning graphs. The group also develops open source software for solving such problems and uses its know-how to solve selected concrete application problems. At first glance, it is surprising that despite decades of research there are still open problems within the basic toolbox. There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, in the last years we are facing an explosive growth of data sets that can only be handled using increasingly complex parallel hardware. This also implies additional basic toolbox problems like load balancing or communication algorithms. On the other hand, a huge gap between theory and practice has emerged. Theoreticians develop sophisticated solutions with strong performance guarantees for simplified settings, but all too often ignore implementability or the realities of applications and modern hardware. For their part, practitioners often ignore theoretical insights and methods and thus arrive at ad-hoc solutions without any discernible performance guarantees. Therefore, the methodology of algorithm engineering is central for our group which helps to overcome the above challenges by integrating modeling, design, analysis, implementation, and experimental evaluation.

Lori's strength and attitude are the inspiration for my swim. She could not control the fact that she had cholangiocarcinoma and she stayed strong and positive through her entire journey. The thought of swimming across the English Channel is very scary. And I do have a choice. My choice is to use Lori’s inspiration to get me across, the same way she handled her cancer journey. -Jonathan Whiting English Channel Fast Facts The English Channel is 21 miles straight across. Because of tides and currents, the swimming route is an S pattern making it closer to 26 - 28 miles. It takes 7 hours to 27 hours to complete the swim Water temperature is 57 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit Fewer than 2,000 solo swimmers have completed the swim Only 1 in 10 who train complete the swim The swimmer is not allowed to touch another human while completing the route. Food has to be delivered by a long pole from the escort boat. Donate to support research Text TeamCCF9 to 71777 Updates Dear Team: When I came up with the idea of swimming across the English Channel to raise money and awareness for cholangiocarcinoma, I had no idea what would follow. I knew I would honor my late wife Lori, and that idea gave me strength and purpose. I also hoped this mission would somehow help and benefit those currently diagnosed and those who may receive a diagnosis in the future. I felt I would continue the strength Lori showed me to help others. What I discovered was something truly amazing. The support of the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation staff, who assisted me in my efforts, was unbelievable. It energized me and pushed me to meet my objectives. They were always there for me and always helping me. In addition, the support of the cholangiocarcinoma community, including patients and caregivers, was also outstanding, as well as family, friends, and others that I wish I had the opportunity to meet. While swimming, during my most challenging moments, I would think of the people who supported me and followed my journey. I would also ponder what patients and families have been through and are going through. I could genuinely feel everyone's presence while swimming for our common objective, which made such a difference. Of course, the thought of Lori and my children, Cole and Emma, never left my mind. Lori was never afraid. And I was never scared during my swim (thanks to Lori). But I think it's OK to be frightened. I believe there is great comfort and hope for everyone in our community. I experienced this from all of you. Therefore, I am saying thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jonathan CONGRATULATIONS, JONATHAN Jonathan's safety came first. At 9.5 hours (longest straight swim) and 12.5 miles completed (longest swim ever), Jonathan ended his swim in the English Channel. He fought 4-foot waves and strong tide flows for as long as he could. Well done, Jonathan. Journey to Complete the Journey July 8, 2022 Cold showers daily for two years Ice baths lasting 10-15 minutes a few times a week Swim 4-5 days a week, two-mile intervals during the week, longer swims on weekends Work, swim, sleep, repeat has been one man’s routine for the last two years.

Those of us who have studied the history of technology have likely read a lot about “white, male wizards who magically manufactured digital tools that determine our future,” says NYU Professor Charlton D. McIlwain. “I [wanted] to tell the powerful story of the black women and men who took their own technological futures in their own hands,” he says. “How black folks from the seventies and beyond pulled themselves up by their technological bootstraps and began to use computers and the Internet to determine our own fates.”

I might as well get these Rio Grande reviews out of the way. There's one more to discuss, and then I can get back to not playing European games unless they come out of France (French people make awesome games with dead bodies and demons and naked chicks - all things I readily endorse in my games). So the last of these dead-fish Euro games that Rio Grande sent me is called Cinque Terre. In English, this means Heavy Poop, or literally 'sinking turd.' The game is called that because if you drop it in the toilet, it will fall to the bottom, and you will be glad and want to flush it… Wait, sorry, I'm being handed an updated memo. It seems Heavy Poop was a bit of a prank by the boys in tech support. Cinque Terre is about five villages. Ha! Good one, tech guys! OK, so there are these five villages on the coast of Italy, and they are freaking beautiful. They're built in terraces, almost inaccessible by car or plane, with stunning geography, picturesque vistas and charming architecture. These five villages are famous for being almost completely unspoiled by corporate intrusions like Exxon and Starbucks, and are thus quite the tourist attraction. And according to Rio Grande, they're also really into fruit. Because in Cinque Terre, a game about five amazing locations that are almost lost to time, you're going to sell fruit out of a motorized wagon. If that sounds like a grievous waste of a perfectly wonderful theme, then I think you and I are on the same page. Still, reading the rules, I was kind of looking forward to playing this game. It seems like a quaint thing where you harvest fruit and sell it in the various villages, taking advantage of increased demand and specific fruit orders. Unfortunately, it's not that. Unfortunately, it's actually just work. Cinque Terre - a game supposedly about five of the most beautiful and charming locations in the northern hemisphere - is a logistics exercise. The way you win this game is by carefully planning ahead, making the most efficient plans and thinking six steps ahead. I like games with some planning. I don't like games where planning IS the game. Here's a little of the nitty-gritty, so you can understand what I'm talking about when I say this is basically like having a job as the dispatcher at a trucking company. On your turn, you can travel from one location to the next, harvest specific types of fruit with specific cards, then sell specific fruit in specific villages to fulfill specific fruit orders. And all the time you're doing this, you will absolutely, under no circumstances at all, interact with the other people who are playing this game with you. It's not even fair to call the other players your opponents, because nobody is actually opposing you. I wanted to like Cinque Terre. I did some homework, looking up the region online, reading about how it's hard to get to these villages and looking at photos that made me want to give up my day job and move to Italy. If the region had featured in the theme in any way, I might have loved it. But there's no reason this stretch of beautiful coastline has to be the least bit involved in this game. You could make the same exact game about shuttling farm animals around small towns to enter them into livestock contests. I don't need another game about picking up wooden cubes and taking them other places. Unless people are going to shoot at my car as I hustle fruit across enemy lines, this game is going to be so ludicrously dull that I would rather just balance the checkbook. It's about the same amount of work either way, but at least keeping up with my finances will be good for something. And neither thing is fun. That does it for the Rio Grande games, and I'm glad. I won't be asking them for any more games, because even if they don't hate me all the way to Hell and back for panning the crap out of every review copy they sent me, I don't actually want to play their games. I know they sent me three under-performers, and I know they do have some games that are better, but I can't be bothered to care. I want death tolls and hookers, and until Rio Grande decides to make some games for immature grown men, I think I can stick with Asmodee. Summary Pros: A game named after a really beautiful part of the world Some decent production value Cons: The beautiful part of the world does not feature in the game in any way The decent production value is mostly just lots of wooden cubes The game is a boring logistics exercise I would rather mow the lawn Don't bother playing Cinque Terre. Instead, look at these amazing pictures and tell me you don't want to move to Italy. MUCH BETTER THAN HARVESTING FRUIT Posted by Matt Drake at 8:08 PM 2 comments: John Stratford said... Thanks for that. I'm a gamer and a walker. I've been to the region and have done the 5 villages trek twice. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I was going to buy this game based on my love for the region but now not bothered. Seems a shame that they did not theme it. June 8, 2013 at 3:26 AM Matt Drake said... I am so jealous. I see places like Cinque Terre and desperately want to visit. Also, I am surprised and delighted that anyone was considering this game. It makes me happy to know that I've saved at least one person some money.

"Valandi, thank you for such a great night. Everyone enjoyed themselves so very much so I thank you for a fantastic job. You were wonderful. My neice now wants to book you as we are sure to expect another super night with you at the helm. Thanks again :-)))" Kathy, Engagement, September 2012 ​ "Hello there, this is Tina from Saturday nights party. I just wanted to thank you soooo much for the amazing job you did at my daughter's 21st." Tina, 21st Birthday, June 2013 ​ "Hi Valandi, Jess and I want to thank you for the amazing job you did at our wedding on Saturday night. I have had nothing but good reviews and people asking me for your details. Everyone had a great time. Thanks again! " Peter and Jess, Wedding, Oct 2013 ​ "I LOVE Bounce Entertainment!!!! I can't even tell you how many obnoxious DJs we interviewed for our party, and when we found Dimi and Valandi it was like the clouds parted and the sun started shining. The music for our party was tasteful, fun, totally in our taste, but at the same time. The Boys took requests from the crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. In fact I've received a number of compliments on how fun it was and how great the music was and I am attributing that to my awesome DJ-ing. We literally had everything from Sixties to Top 40 to Eighties to R&B. The Boys also gave us a great recommendation for party hire through Modern Party Hire. They are fun , enthusiastic and amazing mixes created on the night and they even gave me a CD of their mixes which they did live. AWESOME!!!! I know I would recommend Bounce Entertainment to anyone looking to have a fun time at their event and who don't want to be stressed with the organising of a party. Thank You Dimi and Valandi and I can’t wait for my friends party coming up where YOU GUYS will be there again!!!!"

Economic growth in some of the world’s poorest nations is being held back by a lack of financing. International financial centres (IFCs) have a crucial role to play in mobilising such finance as they can provide secure jurisdictions, fund structuring and tax neutrality for both private investors and public–private co-financing. The paper finds it is important that policy balance the trade-offs involved in fostering IFC intermediation of development finance, while ensuring that illicit activities continue to be tackled resolutely. It recommends the development community be more balanced in its approach to the debate on the possible advantages and disadvantages of utilising IFCs, to ensure the best possible outcome for the world’s poorest nations.

The famous “Disaster Girl” meme of the girl grinning as a house burns down in the background was sold as an NFT for nearly $500,000. The NFT seller is the same girl who was in that famous photo in 2005. Watch today’s #MorningMusing to learn more about this situation and NFT’s! Like our Morning Musings? Consider getting your own Morning Musing book here: Transcript: Have you heard of the disaster girl? If not look behind me and you see her smiling in light of the house being on fire. Well, the house was not really on fire as it was a controlled burn by the fire department. Therefore, it was not the smirking smile of a young kid being excited about the fire, maybe there’s arsenal involved. But in any case, the girl in the picture is now 21 years old, nicknamed the disaster girl. She sold the 2005 photo of her over an NFT auction. NFT, Sometimes also known as nifty or non-fungible tokens, is the hottest thing on the internet right now. Blockchain backed up proprietary information, so somebody spent 495,000 us dollars to have the rights to this picture. Everybody else can still use the picture that’s the concept of NFT’s, but she now sold off the right on the picture. There are two takeaways. Number one, she hired a lawyer to help her. And the lawyer negotiated that in the part was this process, any future sale, will give her a 10% commission. So this NFT is traded later at a higher price. She gets 10% out of that. And number two NFTs by themselves are such a young legal concept that I am watching out for what’s happening there.

Linette Pedigo has been a professional artist specializing in dimensional and tactile plaster paintings for over 15 years, with her work being displayed and collected all over the United States. Over the years, Linette has developed a style of art she calls “plaster painting” where she sculpts her compositions with an acrylic-based plaster on a flat, two-dimensional surface. Texture is always the most important step that defines all that comes after. Linette’s work is contemporary and often draws inspiration from nature. Abstracts and florals are her favorite subjects, and she also tends to incorporate many modern elements including patterns, geometric shapes and sheet music into her work. Bringing three-dimensional qualities to a two-dimensional surface is always Linette’s goal, as there is something innately beautiful and unique about a painting that uses more than just color to define itself. “In with the New” will be on display from April 11 – May 26. The reception will be on Saturday, April 16 from 2 – 4 PM to coincide with the Blackford County Arts Center’s Anniversary Celebration. Regular gallery hours at the BCAC are:

I love these people so much! The first time I ever talked to Tiffany on the phone it felt like we had known each other forever. Her husband and three kids and the rest of her family behind the camera were so sweet to us! They invited us out to their property in Newcastle and made us feel at home. The wine barrel is from a family run vineyard and so cute to use for these photos of their new baby. A big thank you again to all of them for making this such a great shoot!

– It’s HOT here. For the first time since moving, I would have turned on the air conditioning, if we had any. I really dislike having the AC on. We had central air in our home in Baltimore, which was a blessing with tiny babies to keep cool, but I’ve never liked the stale, closed-in feeling it gives the house. Today however, I would have been glad to have it. What’s amusing is that the temperature topped out at only 87*. I guess my blood really is getting thicker. – With the heat, I’m doubly grateful for the kindness of our new neighbors. Our neighbor to the left has 6 year old twins who decided to pass their wading pool along to the girls this weekend, and then Barbara came up the driveway with a rubber ducky sprinkler, so we have spent the last three days in our own little water park in the front yard. The well water is icy, so we’ve been filling the pool in the morning and letting it warm up for afternoon splashing. It then gets emptied to water the veggies and rinsed out for the next day. We thanked Barbara with a bouquet of hydrangeas from the yard, and I think we’ll bake cookies for the boys. Once it cools off a little. – Swee and I picked berries this morning, barefoot and in our jammies. I told her that she could be like Little Sal (a wonderful Maine story, and one that Swee is obsessed with) and eat anything she picked for her cup, which of course turned into me picking berries for her cup, and then scooping my berries out into her cup. Still, we came away with several handfuls to share with Daddy, and many more left to ripen on the bushes. And we never left the yard.

The year was 1989 in post-industrial Northeastern Pennsylvania when Shawn Rudiman and Ed Vargo created Total Harmonic Distortion, Rudiman’s first introduction to making electronic music. The two artists became self-taught creating a band that became a solid influence in the world of Electronic Body Music, a varied Belgium-born genre that takes influences from electro, punk and post-industrial. Currently based in Pittsburgh, Penn., Rudiman is fervently creating and exploring the techno world. Why techno? “Music is the best escape, therapist, and consoler I’ve ever known. Techno is forever the future, alternate reality and unwritten parallel universe that will always have a hold on me. It’s home.” – SHAWN RUDIMAN During the 1990s he developed an affinity for vintage hardware and is now known for his solo work performing live analog sets. His rig consists of: Roland TR-8, Access Virus A, Alesis MMT-8, Korg Electribe Sampler 2, Arturia MicroBrute, Future Retro 777, Future Retro SWYNX, FMR RNC Compressor, and the Boss DD-7. This hearty collection of gear allows him to take things anywhere stylistically, he says. When he is not performing with them, Rudiman is maintaining, fixing and modifying vintage synthesizers. “Analog is as valid as any other form of synthesis really. To me … it’s just where I fell into. I’m no purist. I’m more a road warrior or rogue samurai looking for the most comfortable sword or weapon. I can’t expose one form of synthesis over any other, since they all have purpose and times to shine,” he says. This free-flowing way of performing for Rudiman means breaking through structure and playing off-the-cuff, allowing emotional adaption during a live set. “I started out 17 years ago now, playing sets that were very formatted, and rehearsed. It’s crushing to me. And massively limiting. I can’t play a set more than once. It’s boring. I don’t want to be bored. I never want to have to play that way with techno. To me, techno is always on the edge of failure — that thin razor edge. That’s what gives it feeling, not perfectly rehearsed or choreographed. It’s raw, wild, and possibly a car wreck. But also enthralling, gripping and demanding your attention. It’s responsive and operates on the crowd’s output, as well as my own feelings.” He now has releases on 11th Hour Recordings, Bleepsequence, Cache Records, Detroit Techno Militia, Integrated Recordings, and Minimalsoul Recordings. Additionally, he established the store and label HyperVinyl Records with Trevor Combee, leading to a friendship with the notable Detroit techno musician Anthony “Shake” Shakir. Along with Jwan Allen and Adam Ratana, Rudiman runs Technoir Audio out of Pittsburgh, Penn. He has toured internationally playing in places like Detroit, New York City, Berlin (like the Berghain and Tresor) and other areas of Europe; his most recent performance was held earlier this month at the Great American Techno Festival in Denver, Colo. “Honestly some of my favorites aren’t the big or famous clubs. This past year playing Movement at the festival itself was one though. It was a life goal for me. Another was a gig in Glasgow, Scotland about 10 years ago. Just great people and crazy, wild times. Those are the ones that you cant put a value on, for me,” he says. Rudiman will be performing alongside Sam Kern, aka Sassmouth, this Saturday, Oct. 17 in Rochester, N.Y. for the next Signal > Noise installation. Not only are the two friends but they have worked together professionally with a recent release by Rudiman under Kern’s label, god particle. “Sam’s one of my favourite humans. It was complete chance we met really. I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s family. She’s easy to work with, to me, and we see fairly eye to eye. She picked those songs from a pile I sent her; she chose wisely. Working live with her on the decks and me on my crap is easy — she can feel flow and knows how to make it happen. She reads the crowd. So we work well as a duo going back and forth. We are on the same page so it makes it easy,” he says.

After more than a year of working with a group of docents who have helped to run the blog, I've decided to end the experiment. The docent model was not entirely successful, in no small part due to an overall lack of organization and commitment, but lately due to some specific personality conflicts. I'm not sure what will take its place, but I'm hopeful that we can develop some sort of community-governed system. Stay tuned. Jason, a fellow former docent who I like and respect, called for Rick's resignation via email to the rest of the docents earlier today. Just for reference, Rick founded and still owns Olyblog. This dustup reflects a view of Olyblog that in my opinion isn't entirely healthy or productive. "Olympia owns Olyblog" is hurtful because Olyblog cannot be everything to everyone. We've become too used to their being one place, one newspaper, one blog where we all go. More Olyblogs. UPDATE: Though Rick turned off comments on his thread, a post with comment enabled have popped up: A place to comment on the "End of the Experiment." Posted by Emmett at 7/23/2008 10:57:00 AM Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: olyblog 16 comments: Anonymous said... I feel bad for enpen. He was easily one of the most prolific contributors. He just celebrated one year of free wall updates and gets repaid by this. Lesson for all those being told they aren't contributing enough content. No matter how much time and personal effort you give to Rick, it won't amount to much when he freaks out on you. July 23, 2008 at 12:23 PM Emmett said... I dunno, I put up my share of content over there and I never consider it effort given to Rick. Its just stuff that works over there, people seem to like it, so I keep on doing it. Plus, I don't really think Rick was the first to freak out. Enpen suggested booting Rick before Rick booted the rest of us. July 23, 2008 at 12:38 PM Anonymous said... Rick resign? That seems odd, I don't get it~ July 23, 2008 at 1:55 PM Chris said... If you are paying attention, it does not seem odd at all. July 23, 2008 at 5:13 PM Anonymous said... Seems about right. Rick goes on his manic power trips whenever his ego and/or his desire for sycophants gets the best of him... July 23, 2008 at 10:24 PM daedalus said... OlyBlog was pretty damn good to me. It light speed accelerated my ability to jump into the Olympia community. I have few complaints about my OlyBlog experience. Regarding OlyBlog ownership: I was made to understand that Zhonka took on hosting OlyBlog for free because it is a community owned resource. I communicated that belief to other people, which sucks. July 24, 2008 at 12:22 AM Chris said... Rick, Rob Richards, and enpen in particular were terrible docents. I see all three as hypocritical, self absorbed and less than intellectually honest. They claim one thing, like acceptance of dissenting views, yet choose to ban and or denigrate those they can not scare into complying with their views. I am sure that olyblog will fail because of this management style. What we are seeing is that goes around comes around. When you try to control what people say, they won't say anything, and judging by all the zeros in the comments column of the 'recent posts' page I would say that I am calling that right. I am also sure, on a slightly different note, that they will continue to claim they accept dissenting views, and offer up excuses for the failing blog, but a simple honest look, and you will see the facts plain as the nose on your face. C. July 24, 2008 at 11:06 AM daedalus said... This comment has been removed by the author. July 24, 2008 at 12:28 PM daedalus said... You were banned from OlyBlog after repeated misattribution of quotes and ideas to other people active in the space. Two Neo-Nazis were banned from OlyBlog prior to either of our participation on the space due to threats they made toward other OlyBloggers and bigoted posts. The space is what it is: a personal blog that invites other people to put work into it for free. I thought it was something else and was attempting to manage it accordingly. This was also my first attempt at creating a "community" space, so sometimes I sucked. That's the nature of the beast. A kid throwing 20mph fast balls in no way stops the kid from growing up to launch 98mph gas. - Jason (enpen) July 24, 2008 at 12:29 PM Chris said... Wow, sadly that is not at all what I was told as I recall by you or by Rick. Anytime the question about attributing something incorrectly was brought up, I would defend what I was saying, cite my referenced, and it was announced that 'We were not going to go down that road'. 'We will not rehash, this or that, you have been warned.' etc. etc. I didn't missattribute anything, and when I did, I was clear with a correction. Considering the number of times this happened, it seems that discussion was not permitted, for fear of the so-called docents behavior being shown for what it was, intellectually dishonest. If you have an example, now of what you are suggesting, I will gladly make the time to read it, and respond and make absolutely clear what I was talking about, or if necessary (which is doubtful, but possible) I will make clear a correction. I was banned because I was willing to do things like hold firm beliefs and call things what they are, such as the very clear connection between Islam and hate, abortion and murder, and private rights trampled on by the marxist left in the case of the boycott of Ralph's drug store. It is up to you, whether you would like to take up this challenge or not. What I will not accept is the suggestion that I was dishonest, or 'miss attributed' things with out correction. You can see this issue as either water under the bridge or you can revisit the issue, what ever you do is fine with me, I prefer the bridge path, but if you choose otherwise, I will be glad to join you on that journey. On a side note, I don't care what went down with Rick and you. Olyblog is falling apart because of the way it was/is run. Excuses are made, fingers pointed, and so on, but it was on the cards from at least the time I joined. It was being used as an echo chamber, and echos only last so long. That is what happens when ideas are not permitted. As I said before, what goes around comes around. I look forward to your decision. C. July 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM daedalus said... You claimed that Rob Richards said the OPD stormed into the Camp Quixote tents in full riot gear. This was a misattribution which you never owned up to. You claimed Janet felt it was okay to attack people as long as she doesn't know them. When asked for evidence of your claim you did not produce it. You claimed that Rob Whitlock feels the murder of Israeli citizens is justified. When I asked for your evidence you provided evidence of empathy. I initiated the call for your ban on the premise that after the 2nd instance of misattribution I warned you that one more infraction would give me cause to ask for your dismissal. Other docents may not have voted for your ban using the same rationale, but that has nothing to do with why the process was put in motion. On another occasion I stopped a call for your dismissal from the space as I thought the rationale was groundless. July 24, 2008 at 1:31 PM Anonymous said... Janet does attack everyone on the blog. Not one of her comments is constructive or friendly. She's snide, rude and controlling. She ranks right up there with OlyDowntowner and Wilson. They are the 3 most abusive posters at OB and their behavior is condoned. Chris was banned for no good reason other than his opinion differred from the majority of you all. He wasn't the only one who was constantly berated, harrassed and abused on that site because of their opinion. How about S6?JstPlnOnry? How about JT? Or Norm? Or Merwyn? Or EG? Or Larry? How do you justify the way those good posters were treated? You can't and that's why they went away and formed a better way to exercise their opinions and ideas. A forum I hope you'll bring your Freewall posts to. Rick and Rob are the worst of the worst. It's their way or no way and you were absolutely correct in calling for Rick's resignation and asking for a vote on it. The only reason Rick reacted the way he did was because he knew where he stood with the OB community and his days were numbered around there. Both are nothing but bully's who do what they want, when they want, how they want in order to get their ways. I feel bad for what Rick did to you Enpen and to see his response to Matthew Green proves his bullying techniques. He has never accepted responsibility for his actions and most likely never will and as you see, it's costing him. Whatever beef between you & Chris should be left behind on Olyblog. You both were wronged and should align, not continue to build walls and verbal weapons. July 24, 2008 at 1:51 PM Chris said... I don't recall saying that about the OPD, I remember the discussion. I will look. I remember that remark even, and I think someone was citing something in the Olympian. Like I said I will look. I claimed that Janet said that because Janet said she thought she would be less bothered by someone being attacked because she did not know them personally. I believe she was referring to the Vice President. The post is there, go look, you will also find my saying the EXACT same thing, and then someone saying that we were not going to rehash it again. What the heck is evidence of empthy? He feels the killing of Israeli citizens is justified because he supports Palestinian terrorists (though of course blowing up innocent women and children is not terrorism in his estimation, they are just doing what they can). What is there to be confused on this point? If I made some miss attribution there was never any honesty in resolving the issue. The so-called docents, you included, had no intention of permitting a discussion around the 'reason' I was banned. It was decided, in what ever form it took, that the accusation would stand, and thus a dissenting voice would not be permitted. This is predictable, provable behavior of leftists. Janet did not like being called on her hypocritical statement. Rob is so disconnected from reality and common sense he does not even grasp that he is willingly supporting murdering terrorists. As for Rob, he is a typical 'do as I say not as I do' Michael Moore/Al Franken style liberal. He is dishonest through and through in my opinion and generally beneath contempt. I will spend some time and find the stuff you have brought up as I said I would. Give me a little time to get my work done and I will get back with you, as soon as I am able.

ADHD brains are more likely to be distracted than neurotypical brains, but it's also harder for the ADHD brain to refocus on the task at hand once a distraction has occurred. This means it's important not only to minimise the chance of distractions occurring in the first place, but also to redirect our attention back to the task at hand when a distraction does occur. We can get back on track with a technique called "Listen, Validate, Redirect". Working on an assignment and getting distracted by laundry is an example of when this technique can be useful. Imagine working on an important work or school assignment at home, and suddenly noticing that the laundry needs doing. You stop working on your assignment to put the laundry on, then you realise you need to pre-treat a stain on your favourite shirt. You pre-treat the stain, but as you're in the cupboard grabbing the pre-treat stick you notice you're low on washing-up liquid, so you write that down on the shopping list. Seeing that there are a lot of items on the shopping list, you decide to go to the shops. Two hours later, you're at the shops looking for items that aren't even on your list... and you've forgotten about your assignment. "Wait... what was I supposed to be doing?" How can we avoid getting derailed like this? One way to deal with interrupting distractions is with the Listen, Validate, Redirect technique. Here's how it works: Listen Firstly, when a distraction occurs that might derail from something that's already being worked on, listen to it. The listening stage involves stating the distraction out loud. This is listening to what the distraction is trying to say. It might be an external distraction, such as a work colleague or family member interrupting with a question or request, or an internal distraction, such as suddenly noticing or remembering another task that needs doing. Here are two examples of listening to distractions: External distraction: "You're asking me to take the bins out. Got it." Internal distraction: "I see a pile of laundry that needs doing." Validate Secondly, validate the distraction. This means acknowledging the significance of the distraction, and involves both stating it aloud and writing it down. In the case of an internal distraction, validation allows a moment of pause to process the distraction and assess its relative importance. If it's an external distraction from another person, validation also shows them that the relative importance of their request has been understood, making them feel acknowledged and appreciated. In both cases, writing it down means that there's no need to worry about remembering to do it later. Here are two examples of validating distractions: External distraction: "I agree that I should take the bins out. Let me write it down so I don't forget." Internal distraction: "The laundry is an important thing that needs to get done. I'll write that down so I remember to do it." Redirect Thirdly, redirect back to the activity or task that was happening before the distraction occurred. Stating out loud the intention to redirect to the task at hand actually helps the brain to re-engage. Here are two examples of redirecting to what was happening before the distraction occurred: External distraction: "I'll do the bins right after I've finished my schoolwork, which I'm doing right now." Internal distraction: "I'll sort out that laundry once I'm done writing my assignment, which is what I'm working on now." Write down the distraction so it can be dealt with later. Sometimes, the distraction is more important than the current task. For example, sorting through some old emails at work before suddenly remembering that the daily finance report is due in ten minutes! You can still use the Listen, Validate, Redirect technique to help you. In this case, validating means acknowledging and writing down the task that was being worked on rather than the distraction. After all, what was being worked on is still important, and by writing that down it can be resumed right after this more important thing that caused the distraction. Then redirect, only this time the redirection is to shift the focus away from what was being worked on and towards the more important distraction. Listen: "Oh! I've just remembered that the finance report is due in ten minutes." Validate: "The project I'm working on now is still important, so I'll write it down." Redirect: "I'll resume the project I was working on when I'm done with the report, and I'll start the report right now." If the distraction isn't important at all, simply state out loud why it caused a distraction, then redirect to the task at hand. Validate: "It's totally understandable that I'd get annoyed by the dog barking outside." Redirect: "I'll put on these headphones and keep working on my assignment." Acknowledging unimportant distractions means you can then refocus on what's important. What This Means... With this powerful technique, three common roadblocks can be avoided. Avoid being derailed The most obvious benefit to this technique is that it allows us to redirect our attention back to the thing that was being worked on and avoid bouncing around from one thing to the next. It's particularly useful at work, where the demands and requests from colleagues, bosses and clients can overlap and lead to a string of unfinished work. Listen, Validate, Redirect can help us acknowledge, prioritise and remember all the demands that are made of us and get everything done. Avoid becoming overwhelmed Starting a task, then getting distracted part-way through by another task, then a third, means that there are now three unfinished tasks that need processing and remembering! Since ADHD also means our working memory capacity is reduced and our processing speed impaired, holding that amount of information in our brains all at once is near-impossible. This can easily create overwhelm, either causing mental paralysis meaning nothing gets done, or causing a meltdown. By validating and writing down the distraction, the information can get out of your head and onto paper. Avoid disappointing others Sometimes we deal with distractions from other people by shutting them out or even telling them to leave us alone. This isn't because we're trying to be mean, it's simply a coping strategy to avoid getting derailed or overwhelmed by distractions, even if they're important. An interruption whilst focusing on a task can make us irritable, but with practice it can be avoided. However, it can have the effect of making others feel as though their needs aren't important. By validating their requests and writing them down for later, the derailment and distraction is avoided and they still feel acknowledged and important. Finally... Have you found the Listen, Validate, Redirect technique helpful when you get distracted? What else do you do to help you stay on track?

Unless you built your Portsmouth, NH, house yourself, there are probably at least a few things you don’t like about your home. Older homes often have small kitchens, tiny bathrooms, or peculiar floor plans that don’t make sense. Even if you’re perfectly happy with your home’s layout, you may dream of adding a master bedroom suite or using the space in your basement for a guest suite and home theater. A renovation will give you the space and amenities you need and increase your home’s value. If you’re considering renovating your Portsmouth home, here are a few things you’ll need to consider before you begin the process. Exploring your Remodeling Options is Essential Before you make a call to a Portsmouth renovator for an estimate, do these things: Consider your Renovation Goals: What do you love about your home? What things would you like to change? List everything you dislike about your home, no matter how trivial the issue. Perhaps keeping dishes clean during parties is a problem, or you get cold and wet walking the 10 feet from the garage to the house when it rains. Including a second dishwasher or enclosing the space between your garage and your home could solve those problems. Do a Little Browsing for Home Design Ideas: Looking at home design photographs on the Internet and in magazines makes it easier to settle on a style and features for your new home. Don’t forget to check the websites of the renovators you’re considering when you browse. Many, like Oxland Builders, offer photographs and descriptions of projects they’ve completed. Set an Estimated Remodeling Budget: How much do you plan to spend on your Portsmouth home renovation? Is there any wiggle room if the features you want will cost a little more than expected? The home design process proceeds much more quickly when you know exactly which features you do and don’t want. Doing a little research and soul searching can also save you money. If you know exactly what you want, you’ll avoid costly change orders during the building phase of the remodel It Pays to Find a Portsmouth Remodeler Who’s Had Experience with Homes Like Yours You wouldn’t trust any mechanic or repair shop to fix a classic old car or restore a vintage watch, so why settle for a low-bid contractor who hasn’t worked on an older or historic home before? When you interview renovators, be sure to ask if they’ve ever completed a renovation on a home like yours before and if they can provide references from satisfied clients. Older homes, whether they’re Cape Cods, Shingle Style, Italianate, Georgian, Second Empire, Federal, Queen Anne, or Colonial, usually have a few quirks and unusual details that can make them a little more challenging to renovate. If your remodeler doesn’t know how to restore or incorporate key features, you may end up spending thousands on fixing his or her mistakes. Experienced renovators can upgrade your house with out sacrificing the features that make your home stand out. Experience is significant if your home has received a historic designation, as particular building standards and codes apply to these homes. Fortunately, the Oxland Builders team has extensive experience working on historic and older homes in the Portsmouth area and can even recreate custom millwork. Please take a look at our project gallery to see examples of our work. Don’t Forget About Protecting Your Seacoast Home from the Elements Wind, moisture, and humidity are more of a concern in Portsmouth than in other areas of the country due to our proximity to the bay. Be sure to ask remodelers what they plan to do to prevent rot, corrosion, mold, and mildew in your newly remodeled space. At Oxland Builders, we use treated wood, brick, concrete, and other materials that resist corrosion and withstand any weather condition. Adding impact-resistant windows will keep your home free from water damage even if the windows are exposed to hurricane-force winds. During your remodel, we can also add insulation and use environmentally friendly building products and techniques that improve energy efficiency. Know What Permits you Need for a Portsmouth Renovation All renovations in the Portsmouth area must meet the current building code. Portsmouth makes sure homeowners adhere to the code by requiring permits and inspections for renovation work. Luckily, you won’t have to worry about getting permits for your project. Obtaining permits and working with building inspectors is one of the services the Oxland Builders’ team handles. If you’d like more information on permits, the City of Portsmouth’s FAQs explains when permits are required. If you’ll be remodeling a historic home, your remodeler will need to submit a Land Use Application in addition to permit forms. Are you remodeling a historic home? Check out the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s website for tips about historic renovations.

Very few oral diseases are as uncomfortable as periodontal disease. The condition typically starts with poor oral hygiene that allows plaque and tartar to build up, and soon leaves patients with sore, inflamed gums, loose teeth, or infections. Studies suggest that because periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, a healthy gums diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods may be your best bet to fighting the condition. These foods contain vitamins and minerals that help promote great periodontal health … from A to Zinc. More Orange Veggies Beta-carotene — the substance that gives orange fruits and veggies their color — is a powerful tool against periodontal disease. It’s a provitamin that your body converts into Vitamin A, which helps fight against inflammation. Incidentally, studies have found that eating more foods that are high in beta-carotene can improve healing of periodontal disease among non-smokers (smokers have a harder time processing beta-carotene). It also supports healthy skin and mucous membranes … we’re looking at you, gums! Vitamin C A glass of orange juice in the morning could do a lot more than just give you a tasty wakeup call. A recent study found that people with gingivitis and periodontal disease tended to have lower levels of Vitamin C than patients with healthy gums. But when the people in the study took supplemental Vitamin C, their gum disease improved. So if you’re looking for a reason to have a second serving of fruit, go right ahead. Your gums will thank you! Omega-3 Fats Omega-3 fatty acids have long been shown to help decrease inflammation that contributes to heart disease. But data shows that it can also help prevent periodontal disease. Unfortunately, Omega-3s can only be gotten through foods (your body can’t make them itself). Fatty fishes like salmon and tuna, flaxseed oil, and walnuts are all great sources of Omega-3s. Zinc The last piece of the healthy gums diet is zinc. This mineral plays an important role in cell growth, repair, and healing. Not surprisingly, a study found that patients who used the healthy gums diet rich in zinc had better periodontal health than those who had zinc deficiencies. Proteins like red meat, poultry, and nuts are the most common sources of zinc, though oysters contain more zinc per serving than any food. Looking for more help in fighting periodontal disease? Our team at Dental Specialty Associates would love to help you on your journey. Give us a call at 602-795-5995 to schedule your first visit.

Telegrammed by The Fact Compiler at 16:21 Labels: Railway Garden Competition. All bets off at Derby Good news for York! Provincial backwater Derby has abandoned its grandiose plans to become the UK's 'Rail Capital'. According to This is Derbyshire... PLANS to build a £15m centre for the UK rail industry in Derby have been scrapped. The UK Rail Centre was intended to provide a showcase venue for the industry but the East Midlands Development Agency admits it has failed to attract investment for the project. Derby was chosen ahead of York by the Railway Industry Association and the Rail Sector Advisory Group for the right to house the centre in 2005. Alas. Despite the East Midlands Development Agency spending £1.95m in 2006 on a 2.6-acre site close to Derby station no additional external funding has been forthcoming. The design for the proposed centre also proved slightly contentious, with its eye catching 32m ventilation tower being nicknamed the traffic cone. Perhaps apt now that this particular avenue for regional grandstanding has been closed off.

In the early 20th century, cervical cancer was the most fatal of cancer in the United States, killing 40,000 women a year. But until a Greek immigrant named Dr. Georgios Papanikolaou came along in 1913, there was no good way to catch its warning signs before the disease took hold. Papanikolaou, whose 136th birthday is commemorated with a Google Doodle on Monday, is the inventor and namesake of the Pap smear, a cancer screening technique that was as revolutionary as it was controversial at the time. The Google Doodle that appeared in the United States on Monday, May 13, 2019. He began his US research career in New York in 1914, studying the cells swabbed from the vaginal tracts of guinea pigs at Cornell University Medical College’s Department of Anatomy, where his wife, Mary, worked alongside him as a technician. At the time, cancer screening relied heavily on biopsies of cancerous tissues, which required surgery. By studying the shapes of cancer cells from vaginal swabs of both animals and humans and comparing them to healthy ones — some of which he first observed in cells from his wife — he established that it was possible to detect cancerous cells without putting patients under the knife. The Pap smear allowed doctors to identify cervical cancer cells using an easy, low-cost test. Wikimedia But the medical community was not impressed when Papanikolaou presented his findings at the Third Race Betterment Conference (a very problematic meeting, in retrospect) in Battle Creek, Michigan, in January 1928. "His technique was initially considered an unnecessary addition." His student, Dr. Neda Voutsa-Perdiki, recalled in a 2017 interview that “this potential medical breakthrough was initially met with skepticism and resistance from the scientific community at that time, and his technique was initially considered an unnecessary addition to the existing diagnostic methods for cervical cancer.” The authors of the textbook Colposcopy of Female Genital Tract note that the skepticism and resistance to Papanikolaou’s methods resulted in the medical community to take “over a decade to validate the diagnostic potential of the vaginal smear.” The field of science he was cultivating is now known as exfoliative cytology — the study of cells shed from the body — but was not a particularly hot topic in the medical community at that time. Exfoliative cytology “was not a common practice in those days, as pathologists relied heavily on tissue biopsy for diagnosis of cancer,” said Dr. Rema Rao of the Papanicolaou Cytopathology Laboratory at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in an interview. Papanikolaou was born in the town of Kymi, Greece, and came to America in 1913. Wikimedia However, the American community’s resistance to his research may have also stemmed from a communication barrier and a lack of faith in foreign ideas. “Because he was Greek and he didn’t learn to speak English very well, a lot of what he presented apparently had spelling errors,” said Rao. “He struggled to communicate to the medical community what he was trying to say.” Standing by the importance of his findings, Papanikolaou continued his research, and eventually, the life-changing impact of the Pap smear was recognized starting in the ‘40s. The American Cancer Society takes credit for its widespread acceptance, noting on its website: “At first, most doctors were skeptical, and it was not until the American Cancer Society (ACS) promoted the test during the early 1960s that this test became widely used.” Thanks in large part to Papanikolaou’s persistence and his support of the Pap smear, the number of deaths due to cervical cancer have dropped 70 percent in the US since the ‘50s. Today, the Pap smear continues to be one of the most widely used — and effective — cancer screening techniques in the world.

State leaders got a glimpse into the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on learning when the California Department of Education released student assessment scores for 2020-21 this month. Data from the CAASPP, California Science Test, alternative and English language proficiency were released, along with data on absenteeism, discipline and graduation rates. Scores declined for the first time in years and showed a widening achievement gap between student groups. The four-year cohort graduation rate also lowered by 0.6 percent to 84.2 percent. The assessments were completed by roughly 25 percent of California students in a year where most students learned from home, leading the CDE to caution that the data is “limited in both scope and use.” “COVID-19 not only created challenges for teaching and learning but also for the administration of the statewide assessments,” according to a CDE release. The federal testing requirement was waived in 2019-20, however federal testing was required in 2020-21. To ease the burden, the schools administered shorter versions of the Smarter Balanced English language arts and math tests or had the option to use another local assessment. To help school leaders analyzing this data, the CDE has developed an interpretation guide. “Our road ahead is clear — we must continue to focus our energy and resources in supporting our students, families, and educators so they not only recover from the impacts of COVID-19 but thrive in days ahead,” said State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond, in a news release. “This must remain our top priority. I am grateful to the Legislature and Governor Newsom for last year’s historic education package that provides a record-high level of funding to help transform our system to one dedicated to addressing all the impacts of COVID-19 on our students — academic, behavioral, social-emotional and physical.” Other key highlights from the data release: 49.01 percent of all students in all grades met or exceeded standards for English language arts, down from 51.1 percent in 2018-19. 33.79 percent of all students in all grades met or exceeded standards for math, down from 39.7 percent in 2018-19. 28.72 percent of all students met or exceeded standards for science. 13.98 percent of English learners taking the summative assessment scored proficient. The statewide suspension rate hit an all-time low, as might be expected for a year of mostly remote learning. Statewide chronic absenteeism rate increased 2.2 percentage points in 2020–21 to 14.3 percent. Students are considered chronically absent if they miss 10 percent or more of school days per school year.

Buy it before I move or it goes with me No reserve Whomever purchases is getting a great boat. I bought her from an Air Force Captain in Destin who was relocating. The boat has been wonderful. It’s the fastest and cheapest way I know to get to the Bahamas.Everything was working when she was pulled out of the water. I would advise having her serviced before splashing her. Just normal stuff.

A different company did all the engine work and I can’t find his bills. $25,000 to remove old engines and to put in the new ones. Not like me at all to loose a paper receipt but I did. Wide fishing deck with a Tuna door for bringing in the big ones or letting kids in and out to swim. This is a great boat and will serve your family well, just like it did ours.

Wifey wants to keep her for the new lake house, but I’d rather sell her and find one up there. House is listed and being shown. Don’t mess around or you’ll miss it.

You should not forget that your body needs to have exercise. Your body needs movement and your body needs to sweat in order to release toxins and lose some of that extra weight. If you are way beyond the recommended weight for your height then you should shed some of that extra weight so that you feel good and so that you could be healthy. Hence, you must exercise regularly in order to achieve the ideal weight that you must have for you to be a fully functioning individual. If you deny your body exercise then you could have more problems than just losing weight. Exercising regularly could be very boring for some people. There are just people out there that are not born to go to the gym, lift weights, jump some ropes, bike for a couple of minutes or lift some big wheels. So, if you are one of those people who are not fond of going to the gym for regular exercise then you must make sure that you find other ways in order to exercise. At this moment, there are so many things that you could do as a form of exercise. There are so many new activities that other people have developed in order to be fit and healthy and receive the benefits that you are going to have with exercising such as mountain climbing, swimming, trekking, biking and martial arts. Martial arts classes could be taken from Shaolin Kung Fu Washington DC where you would be receiving new classes and forms of exercise. Truthfully, there are so many things that you could gain from entering Kung Fu classes or learning new form of martial arts such as Ving Tsun and so many more. If you are interested about these advantages for you to gain then you should stick around up to the end. HEALTHY FOR THE BODY As what have been said above, many people are taking martial arts classes because it is a good form of exercise and it keeps your very healthy. When you join kung fu classes, you will be performing dances and stance that would require you to move all the parts of your body even your brain. You will be thinking about your next move while you examine the flow of energy in your body and move all the limbs of your body. KEEPS YOU SANE If you are taking martial art classes, it involves so much discipline and it would teach you to be physically and mentally strong which is the best part about it because you are hitting two birds with one stone and you are giving so much love to yourself just by trying this new activity for you. It will keep your mind and thinking healthy. MAKE YOUR GROUP BIGGER If you join clubs or an organization that pertains to martial arts then you could grow your group bigger because you will be meeting new friends. From there you will see and hear different reasons of joining martial arts classes.

Data compression routines can accurately identify the language, and even the author, of a document without requiring anyone to bother reading the text. The key to the analysis is the measurement of the compression efficiency that a program achieves when an unknown document is appended to various reference documents. This was demonstrated by Dario Benedetto and Emanuele Caglioti of La Sapienza University in Rome and Vittorio Loreto of the Center for Statistical Mechanics and Complexity, also in Rome. Zipping programs typically compress data by searching for repeated strings of information in a file. The programs record a single copy of the information and note the locations of subsequent instances of the string. Unzipping a file consists of replacing various bits of information at the locations recorded by the zipped file. Such file compression routines work better on long files because programs are, in effect, learning about the type of information they are encoding as they move through the data. Add a page of Italian text to an Italian document, and a zipping program achieves good efficiency because it finds words and phrases that appear earlier in the file. If, however, Italian text is appended to an English document, the program is forced to learn a new language on the fly, and compression efficiency is reduced. The researchers found that file compression analysis worked well in identifying the language of files as short as twenty characters in length, and could correctly sort books by author more than 93% of the time. Because subject matter often dictates vocabulary, a program based on the analysis could automatically classify documents by semantic content, leading to sophisticated search engines. The technique also provides a rigorous method for various linguistic applications, such as the study of the relationships among various languages. Although they are currently focusing on text files, the researchers note that their analysis should work equally well for any information string, whether it records DNA sequences, geological processes, medical data or stock market fluctuations.

The past two weekends have been blown out from heavy rain thanks to the severe storm systems that have swept across the country. For the weekend warrior, fishing has been tough but we are out nonetheless. I had the opportunity to hop on a boat and try my luck at some striper fishing. Unfortunately, the aforementioned rain forced the river to rise some 80,000 cfs and morph into a flowing lahar. Visibility might have been three inches and the stripers never found our articulated plugs. I didn't really mind though, I was on a boat and we had cold beer. In the coming weeks, I'll be looking for some revenge. Until then, I'll keep tying 12 inch herring patterns and pole dancers because the water temperatures are rising and things are about to get interesting.

Recently, original housewife LeeAnne Locken announced she would not return to Real Housewives of Dallas for the fifth season. According to a Bravo insider, two Dallas-based ladies will allegedly join the cast after Locken’s departure. Brandi Redmond, Stephanie Hollman, Kary Brittingham, Kameron Westcott, D’Andra Simmons | Peter Larsen LeeAnne Locken leaving ‘Real Housewives of Dallas’ In 2016, philanthropist and former pageant beauty LeeAnne Locken joined Real Housewives of Dallas as an original cast member. While she frequently butted heads with almost all of her castmates during the four seasons she spent on the show, many fans sympathized with her past and enjoyed her. In the last season, Locken made racially insensitive comments towards the newest housewife Kary Brittingham, who is of Hispanic heritage by referring to her as a “chirpy Mexican.” So annoying that LeeAnne keeps bringing up that Kary is from Mexico and how Kary should be big and strong because she’s Mexican. It embarrasses me when white women are sooo easily triggered and threatened by women of color/other cultures. We need to do better. #RHOD — Ginger (@GingerRealityTV) December 9, 2019 When Locken faced backlash for her words, she apologized and denied she had a “racist bone” in her body. She eventually reconciled with Brittingham but announced she would not return for the fifth season. Even though the philanthropist noted it was a “personal decision,” former RHOD housewife Cary Deuber claimed Locken “got fired, like me.” Two new ladies are allegedly joining ‘Real Housewives of Dallas’ According to Real Housewives insider The Bravo Boy, anesthesiologist Tiffany Moon, M.D., and realtor Jennifer Long are joining the cast as full-time housewives. Moon is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Management at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She is also married, and they parent two young daughters. Her husband owns Sam Moon, a successful jewelry, accessories, and apparel store. Recently, Moon attended the International Fashion Gala hosted by Harper’s Bazaar. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tiffany Moon, MD (@tiffanymoonmd) Jennifer Long is married to a man named David, and they have a two-year-old daughter, Davis “ViVi.” The Longs are real estate brokers and own commercial properties in Dallas. Moon is a friend of D’Andra Simmons, and Long is associated with Kameron Westcott. Almost immediately after the first part of the RHOD Season 4 aired, Locken’s wedding planner, Steve Kimble, uploaded a 2017 video of co-star Brandi Redmond seemingly mocking Asians. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jennifer Davis (@jendavis) Redmond addressed the clip and claimed she made it when D’Andra Simmons called her eyes “squinty.” Because this situation came on the heels of Locken’s controversy, Redmond faced heavy backlash for the video and checked herself into a wellness center when it became too much. Therefore, many fans believe Redmond might get demoted to “friend of,” and these two ladies will replace Locken and the mother-of-three as full-time cast members. Fans react to the potentially new ‘Real Housewives of Dallas’ housewives The majority of Reddit users only responded to the casting of Dr. Moon as they’re “excited to see a person of Asian descent as a main cast member.” Additionally, the anesthesiologist will be one of the first doctor housewives. Many fans also thought it would be “karmic” for Dr. Moon to replace Redmond because the mother-of-three recently came under fire for a racially insensitive video where she seemingly mocked Asians. Rumors are going around that this is the alleged Season 5 cast of #RHOD Tiffany Moon and Jennifer Long are the rumored new housewives. Not sure how legit this is, but if it’s true I’m excited! ⭐️ — HousewifeConnoisseur (@connoisseurhw) February 27, 2020 Bravo has not yet confirmed the casting of Long or Moon as of yet. Filming for Real Housewives of Dallas Season 5 is expected to start soon.

There is only one factor for success or failure -The human. If we want to get the best employees, then we have to accept the new rules of the game. Trust, information sharing, transparency and remote working. At first glance, this introduction may be commonplace and perhaps we do not understand what these words are doing in such a sentence. But the world is changing and its speed is exponential (nothing new). Large pyramid-structured and large corporations structured with a high hierarchy, working days 9 through 5, are breaking down. Robotic technology takes their place so quickly that, when we realize it, we're communicating with human-sounding machines, whilst we didn't even know ... Besides, the big cities have become impossible to deal with in the past decades because of the labour force and the infrastructure load they have caused. The daily commuting is 3-4 hours a day, even within the city limits. This is not only an unsustainable point from an economic point of view but also an environmental point of view. Electric cars do not solve the fundamental problem on this issue, at most environmental pollution occurs elsewhere, and if we think globally, it will not reassure us. Another important question that the introductory sentence refers to is the acquisition of the right workforce. Do not let the opportunity to choose the best people for your project be affected by the country, county or city someone lives in. From the employer's point of view, it's simply ignorant to look past the fact that remote working means significant cost savings compared to rising real estate prices and office rentals. Last year, according to the Eurostat survey, only 2.5% of employees worked in remote working in Hungary. Which is exactly half of the EU average. However, trends indicate that within 10 years every third employee will work through remote work. Remote work - facts and misconceptions Most of the employers are not aware of the differences between remote working, freelance and outsourcing. They are convinced that these ways are unreliable and ineffective. Here are some facts to dispel these misconceptions. The 6nomads team made a survey in which 250 developers were surveyed, analyzed 400 profiles of LinkedIn working in remote working and achieved the following results: Pros Which are the three most important benefits of remote work? More than 85% of respondents said that the most important benefit for them is leaving their daily commuting. Half of the respondents have the advantage of spending more time with their family. Just over a third of respondents said that remote working is an opportunity to get involved in exciting foreign projects and even higher salaries. The lack of the opportunity not to go to an office for specified period results in an unnoticed work as healthy and burning out. Cons In addition to the advantages, we also have to face the disadvantages of remote work. The survey shows that almost half of the respondents feel that work and private life are not well separated. Especially when colleagues work in other time zones and have to adapt to each other. The lack of the opportunity not to go to an office for a specified period results in an unnoticed work as healthy and burning out. 20% of the respondents lacked a sense of belonging to the team. Communication problems that are caused by this modality are mentioned in similar proportions. Also, 20% of respondents are struggling with the problem of self-organization or disorganisation. After analyzing this group of respondents, it turned out that they mostly complained about their inactivity who had been working at a distance for less than a year. What is the biggest problem with remote work? These difficulties do not reduce the benefits of remote working, but only highlight the areas that we need to deal with if we want to work effectively in remote work. Conclusion The technologies of the present and the visible future have made remote work a successful option. Of course, not all work can be done at remote work, that's not the goal. Employers can experience that in remote working colleagues, especially those who work in creative work, are more effective in this form when the creative process is not interrupted by the disturbing processes of "job wear" and "office life". Remote work also has interruptions, but they are mostly volunteers because we can decide when we stand up, look at our messages or eat something. In remote working, underperformers are visible, much more than in office environments where "social fog" and deceptive personality traits can mask real performance. New leadership style Remote work requires a different style of leadership. Don't try to mimic the feeling of an office. It is often said by employers that it is not possible to control colleagues in remote work. Release the control. Find colleagues we trust. Turn our energies into better communication. Choose the appropriate communication channel for your project and let go of e-mail dumping. Do not spend periodic distance meetings with everyone reporting how efficiently they spent the past period, because this is just about control or self-marketing. Shared documents and to-do lists are suitable for this. Focus on the present and the future, on new tasks at these meetings. New work style For those of you who have been working in the office for less time, there is a huge change in remote work. The initial euphoria for the feeling of freedom, even if it was soon dispersed, is when we face the routine of our everyday life and the lack of framework. Strong organization and self-discipline require structuring our day. Not everyone is born at home, there are those who will never be able to do this, the rest of them have good news that this is learning and there are some who can help. Keep in mind that every environment can be confusing, especially for our family. Let's plan, create an ergonomically and psychologically healthy working environment that separates us from the rest of our home. Separate working time from leisure visually, acoustically or in any way possible. for example, pick up another dress. If you reach us in the cabin fever, change the location, let's go to a cafe or co-working office for a short time. Pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, eat regular and healthy, do sports, meet with friends and talk about things other than work. Finally, a remarkable result of the study. The interviewed remote workers do not want to do this job again in the office. Some of them would consider office work if they were given outstanding status, salary or project management.

The primary aim of the project was to develop a prototype system for testing in the mining environment and to carry out lab and field tests in a mine. Secondary objectives were to expand the ThingWave network and to have good communication with mining companies, suppliers to the mining industry, and academic institutions in Sweden as well as abroad. The project’s goal is more than achieved with the completed lab and field tests, expanded network of contacts with industry and academia in Sweden but also abroad. Structure and implementation The project began by initiating talks with bolt manufacturers, mining companies, and suppliers and consultants to conduct field tests. At the same time as technology development has taken place, much emphasis has been given to meeting stakeholders in Sweden and abroad. After conducted lab and field tests, the results have been presented to many mining companies and bolt suppliers with great interest as a result. The tests had to be delayed due to external factors but could be performed anyway. During the project, a dialogue with mine engineers, business advisors and experts in IoT has been important to get feedback. Results The project has developed a prototype system used in lab and mining tests. We have also identified partners around the world and started discussions with them. ThingWave has participated in several exhibitions, for example Euro Mine Expo in Skellefteå, IoT World Event in San Jose, California, the Industrial Internet Summit in Sydney, EIT/SIP-STRIM meeting in Luleå, etc. As a direct result of this project, ThingWave will within the next 12 months have at least three active mine installations as well as collaboration with international enterprises and universities.

DD HQ here. Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something creative because you were scared of being seen as…cringe? If you’re not a sleuth of the Internet, ‘cringe’ = feeling painful and awkward from second-hand embarrassment. Think of it like the first time you heard your significant other talk in ‘work voice’ or re-reading your old (dramatic) journals. In all honesty, it’s the emotion we try to desperately avoid feeling as humans. Pretty much all of our lives, we make choices to skirt around potential embarrassment. But, what if we told you that embracing cringe, that leaning into the embarrassment was the gateway into your open, creative brain? And even more - shedding shame around ‘mistakes’ and taking risks is key to unlocking your fullest human potential? Before we get into why, think of the first time you remember feeling embarrassed. It may have been in those pre-teen years you confidently strode into school wearing a uniquely creative outfit, but no one else saw your vision. Or maybe, you were screaming Kelly Clarkson in the shower when you thought no one was home and - surprise, surprise - you had an audience. Or maybe, it was when you wrote a poem or told a compelling story at work or sketched an intricate doodle on your To Do list or broke out into a freeing dance. Maybe, you did something - even a tiny, little thing - that felt like you showed your soul to the world. You allowed the inner-stuff that no one else really gets to see breathe some fresh air. That - that moment of inner-aliveness - is what some experts call vulnerability. And, being vulnerable isn’t just a trendy term; it’s our innate ability to take emotional risks and be open to sharing your most human self, even when it’s unclear how others will respond. Research shows that when we show other people the inner-workings of our humanity, regardless of how they respond to it, we form deeper connections. It allows us to foster trust, empathy and belonging. Some experts say that vulnerability is the “glue that bonds individuals together.” Even more, those moments of slight (or maybe even great) discomfort helps lead to more creative ideas. When we try something new, we’re expanding our openness, and in turn, allowing our creative brains to make more connections. But, in order to be vulnerable, to show our creativity - we have to shed our fear of imperfection. Of being seen as cringe. Of making mistakes. And, creative expression helps us do that. The more we create, the more we’re able to exercise our curious, open brain. It’s a virtuous cycle. So, diving in head first - being open to being seen as cringe is the first step. As Taylor Swift says, “learn to live alongside cringe. You’ll always find something you felt cringe about, retroactively.” At Daydreamers, we’re here to make it cool to be cringe from time to time. To us, it’s a sign we’re breaking through the status quo. With us? Katina + Dupi and the entire team @ DD HQ Feel like these weekly notes shift something in your brain? Forward it to a friend (or a few) who need this permission slip to be creative, too. Let us know you did + you’ll get an invite to our private community Discord channel! Share Head in the Clouds by daydreamers An idea to noodle on 💭 Embracing cringe is the gateway to your creative brain THINK ON THIS: Feeling embarrassed is a powerful emotion. While it’s considered a ‘self-conscious’ emotion (in the same family of shame and guilt) it can be an important precursor to cultivating openness, intrinsic motivation + forming deeper connections with others. Embarrassment can be a sign you’re thinking differently. …MAYBE NOT THAT: Your creativity doesn’t need to be shared. Think about it this way - even Ben Franklin used pseudonyms. Creative expression can (and is) a personal journey. Remember, there are many different ‘types’ of creativity, and ones that are judged by others is just one kind. Inside our brains at DD HQ 🧠 A peek into the depths of the universe (in our opinion, it’s natural ‘art’). In praise of ‘pointless goals’ - high quality leisure, hello!

A shamanic healing starts with an interview to find out what the symptoms are, how long the person has been having them, as well as severity and type of pain and other pertinent information such as whether the person has been seen by a medical doctor and what types of medication the person is taking. The practitioner then prepares themselves, usually by silently observing the patient in a meditative state, by asking their allies or helping spirits and the patient’s allies to help them see what is needed in the healing. Depending on the information they receive they may take various approaches to the healing using the proper shamanic tools for the job. Since most problems come from dammed up flows of energy the most common approach is restore circulation and movement of energy in the body. The practitioner may use sound healing with a drum or rattle, feathers, tobacco, crystals or other tools to clear resistance in the form of fear or anger patterns, get circulation moving again, restore lost parts of self, or energetically extract foreign energy or obstacles. Occasionally they may use simple massage techniques. Commonly the practitioner will sing, whistle, or hum traditional healing songs. Shamanic healings are generally short, between fifteen minutes to half an hour but in some cases they can last up to an hour. They often come in groups of three over a period of days or even weeks. While it is common for the practitioner to charge a modest fee for such work, they should never manipulate the client by suggesting that only they can save them nor should they charge exorbitant fees or make any inappropriate sexual innuendos or touch the patient in an unacceptable way.

In 2001 Jim Reynolds made a career change from small business owner to public service when he was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate. He served there admirably for over a decade, until he was elected as the Cleveland County Treasurer. During his final year in the Senate, Jim Reynolds authored the 3% property tax cap. The proposition, which voters overwhelmingly passed on the November 2012 General Election ballot, became effective January 1st 2013. Jim Reynolds brought his conservative management style and professional experience to the Cleveland County Treasurer's office from day one. He has raised the bar on level of service and held in check his appropriated budget annually. His current 2019 appropriated budget is 10% less than the day he took office 8 years ago. Jim has also completed all training required for his Basic, Advanced I, and Advanced II certifications from the State County Training Program. Advanced II is the highest level of certification offered through the State program. Duties of the Treasurer The County Treasurer is an elected constitutional officer with a four-year term whose primary function is to collect taxes certified by the County Assessor from the assessment valuations placed on real estate, personal property, and public utilities in the County. After collection, the Treasurer disburses the moneys to the county, cities, towns and schools according to budgets approved by the County Excise Board. The County Treasurer is the official custodian of all funds for the County. Other duties include: - All warrants and vouchers for all County departments are registered and maintained through the Treasurer's office. - Tax collections are balanced on a daily, monthly, and year-to-date basis, which allows the investment of funds to be made with more accuracy. All special assessments, such as demolition, health, mowing, paving, and nuisance abatement taxes that are originally assessed by cities and towns in the County are certified to the County Treasurer for collection after they have become delinquent. They are placed as lien on real estate property account of the taxpayer. - The Treasurer's office also manages of County-owned property acquired at annual sales of real estate for delinquent taxes. The Treasurer also may sell these pieces of property, upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners.

What is the difference (theoretically) between using 2 different optimizers for two networks (for example 2 generators/discriminators) and using 1 in which we sum the losses of both networks and bp it? For example in CycleGAN, there are two optimizers for the two Ds and one for the two Gs. smth January 4, 2018, 11:04am #2 there’s no difference for all 1st order optimizers, it’s your choice. For 2nd order optimizers like optim.LBFGS it matters. Shani_Gamrian (Shani Gamrian) January 4, 2018, 1:30pm #3 but isn’t doing (lossG1 + lossG2).backward() means that both generators are affected by the same summed loss in contrast to having 2 optimizer and doing lossG1.backward() for one and lossG2.backward() for the second?

There aren't many artists who make us stop in our tracks to take a second look, but Akin Okusami aka Axematic is making ripples in the art scene with his compelling works. The London-Nigerian artist sat down with Vingt Sept taking us through his captivating collection and walking his creative process and through his journey thus far. You grew up in 80s Hackney, once a place where people were scared to walk, and today one of London's most expensive boroughs. What was it like, and what do you think about Hackney today? I grew up in what some may say was the 'proper' Hackney. We lived in the original Holly Street Estate in Dalston, which was arguably the heart of Hackney at the time. The old estate was built in the 1960s in that brutalism style, which I'm sure, looked beautiful and in accordance with whatever vision they had at the time. But by the time I came around, it was a bit of a rat-infested ghetto. Pretty crime-ridden and a hell-hole to some observers. Of course, I didn't know any better and loved living there. It was natural not to stand at the back of the lift because it was filled with urine. The long dark corridors were nothing intimidating except for the odd weirdo you might bump into. My mum did up the flat as cosy as she could, so once that door was shut, I felt safe and secure (though we got burgled numerous times). My fondest memories of that period were the sounds of dancehall music and hard dub reggae coming; it seemed, from every other flat. Idris Elba captured the essence of 1980s Hackney in his film Yardie. Though he didn't have the biggest budget, I think he got the look and feel of the place. Contrast that to today. The transformation is incredible! The luxury apartments, the expensive cafés, the Michelin-starred restaurants… amazing! I'm pretty sure they've done something about them rats too! It's bitter-sweet for me, though. Where was all of this when I lived there?! While I'm happy that the area's fortunes were raised, gentrification is still a thorny issue. We've seen this movie many times before. A group of immigrants or minority groups bring a richness of culture to a deprived area, make it cool or trendy, and then are sidelined as others reap the rewards. That's what we're seeing all over the world, it seems. From San Francisco to Brooklyn to Stratford. Not cool, not cool at all! I'm glad the Peace Mural along Dalston Lane is still there, but I sometimes wonder if it is now just a mere piece of decoration or the meaningful symbol it once was. What was your childhood like, and how does this influence your work today? I had a much-fulfilled childhood, I must say. I grew up in a single-mother household, and my mother and I are extremely close. We grew up poor, but my mother successfully hid the pangs of poverty from me. She had me thinking we were rich! She spoiled me quite rotten, buying me whatever I wanted. I loved bikes, and living in Hackney meant they would often get stolen. Yet my mum would go out and buy me a new one. Only as an adult did, I realise the extent of her sacrifices. She worked three jobs to pay for it all. I mean, she was shelling out the equivalent of £300 on a kid's bike! As she worked three jobs, I often stayed with white foster parents in the countryside, a common practice amongst African parents in the 70s and 80s. This gave me contrasting experiences growing up – from the fields of Kent to the concrete jungle of Hackney – it is something that has stayed with me. My mother also took me travelling with her. She was once a flight attendant and loved travelling. I went to quite a few countries in my childhood whilst my cousins and friends hardly went anywhere. It has spurred my love of culture and to study what makes a group of people behave in the ways they do. Being the sole Black kid in an all-white school definitely makes you know that you're different, which also has stayed with me to this day. Whenever I go on holiday, I try to live like a local, not a tourist. I really love seeing how others live, which is reflected in my work. Issues of culture, or the clash thereof, are usually central to my work which all started in childhood. Midsommer Ⓒ AXEMATIC You went to an ILEA school dubbed "the poor man's Eton" that taught legendary students such as Skibadee, Phil Jupitus and Martin Offiah. What was it like for someone like yourself, and do you feel it helped you in any way with what you do now as a career? Our school was one of only two ILEA boarding schools. That school is probably the single institution with the most considerable influence on my life. We had an incredibly well-rounded education, though none of us probably appreciated it at the time. Just like my mother, the school taught you to dream big and that you are the master of your own universe. The school was unique in that it was predominately Black, all of us were from London (mainly East and South London), but the school was in East Anglia! We probably appreciated the uniqueness of the situation more than anything. And as we were the last students in the school's history, we remain a loose brotherhood of around 500 ex-pupils. That said, we were exposed to 'posh' sports like shooting, sailing, and fencing, along with other non-London sports such as rugby, cricket and cross-country. We prevailed in all the aforementioned sports and became quite a famous school in the area. The main thing the school taught me is that there's nothing we can't do or achieve despite the hurdles. You studied a completely different subject field to what you do today (Marketing). Do you feel that this has helped you in the art world? To be honest, not really, though it should. I mean, I've not even got my social media game tight yet! Being an artist is about putting yourself out there, which is the sole purpose of marketing, but I haven't married the two skills together. I choose to be a bit naïve on this one, but I believe the best art doesn't need marketing. If it's that good, then it'll consistently market itself. Of course, we all know that that's not how the world works – but we can all dream! How would you describe your art? If I had to coin a term, I'd describe the style as Digital Renaissance. Though I do abstract stuff also, I primarily focus on classic portraiture. I love the classic baroque styles of the Old Italian and Dutch Masters. I worked in Whitehall for nearly ten years and spent the many-a-lunch break in the National Gallery, so there's a major influence there. I like to re-create classics with a modern interpretation where possible. Many of my clients want their portraits in that classic style, especially their children as angels or cherubs, which I enjoy doing. In my work, a social or moral question is always asked, just like with the Old Masters. I don't always set out to do that, but sadly there's always some turn of unfortunate events just around the corner or someone being an asshole on telly that always makes you want to say something. So, it creeps into my art. Angela Ⓒ AXEMATIC Is there any creative/moment in history or artist you hold in high regard? Oh yes, several. An obvious one is the Renaissance, as just mentioned. I like to merge the periods of the late Renaissance with the Romantic Period. So much good art in a time that the world was changing and truly becoming global. It also paints the mindset of Europe at the time, its attitude towards the rest of the world, and its transition into a new age of discovery. We're tackling the blowback from that era till this day, whether it's the question of religion, supremacy or even climate change, but all were captured beautifully by a plethora of incredible artists. As a Black man born and raised in Europe, the reasons and circumstances of my presence here now, for good or bad, are captured in all that art. Being of Nigerian descent, I am naturally drawn to the golden age of the Benin Kingdom as they produced some of the world's most incredible carvings and sculptures. I'm not sure it's truly appreciated the influence it and the old Japanese had on modern art. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and as African lore is incredibly deep, one can only imagine what could've been produced if their kingdom wasn't messed with. It's sad how most Nigerians haven't seen most of these incredible pieces of art because they were looted and reside in foreign museums. Finally, on a lighter note, I believe the rise of Pixar/Dreamworks is an age in itself. I might even expand that as the CGI age started with Jurassic Park in 1993. Folks like to focus on bad CGI, which has given the overall artform an unfavourable view. But c'mon, those dinosaurs were so damn amazing when they first popped up on the silver screen. Before that, it was dodgy-looking stop-motion, hand puppets or sticking appendages on a distressed-looking lizard. We're so used to incredible animation, but let's remember just how mind-blowing Toy Story was back in 1996! What inspires you most in the world? I suppose music inspires me most. I'm a huge fan of hip-hop. As it's the art of the spoken word, I believe it almost intravenously pumps inspiration into you! When Black Thought or Mos Def spit a line, you almost want to stop the music and reflect on what they just said. Rap gets a bad rap (pardon the pun) because of the actions of a few. But most of them, especially unheralded artists, have an incredible way of portraying the world around them, exactly what I try to do with pictures. Regarding people, I'm very inspired by the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry. These supremely talented athletes refused to be used as mere commodities or a piece of meat with no voice, a brain or a say. Serena (Williams), too. It says something for the rest of us whose concerns have long been ignored: these wealthy superstars are still subject to some of the ugly ills of society and are not having it. Yet, even when they are not affected, they still speak out... for us! I have a large portrait of Colin Kaepernick in my living room. I'm inspired by Barack and Michelle too. I know Obama is now the poster child for paranoid conspiracists, but him merely getting elected twice is still mind-boggling to me. In 2008, I was in that Chris Rock (Bring The Pain, 1996) "I'm saying NEVER!" crowd. But as Eddie Murphy (Delirious, 1983) would say, "…he f*cking won!". Bad Choking Habit Ⓒ AXEMATIC Are there any artists you look up to? My favourite artist has to be (the Italian painter) Caravaggio. He's probably the reason I wanted to paint pictures, as the aesthetic look of his work is very pleasing, even to someone who isn't into art. He is the reason why I like to use chiaroscuro in my works. Then you hear about his interesting life; knowing the genius and rogue behind the art makes the art even better, in my opinion. I aim to emulate how he tells stories in his paintings, whether subtle or in your face. I also love the works of Canaletto, along with the likes of Peter Paul Rubens, (Johannes) Vermeer, and (Jan) van Eyck, as my aspiring Renaissance period painters. John Constable and Joseph Wright of Derby are the English painters who have influenced my work most. The common theme amongst them is the quality and clarity of their works. Barkley L. Hendricks has a seismic influence on what, how and why I do what I do. He had an effortless way of capturing his surroundings, and everything looked super cool and fly! The stories behind the portraits are amazing. I so want to live his life. I also look up to CJ Hendry and what she does; I'm a huge, huge fan. She's why I became more driven about my art in the first place. I was trying to sell t-shirts online and needed a gimmick or reason for people to visit or stay on my prospective website. I stumbled across a video of CJ whilst she was living in a tiny space in New York. A wide-eyed Aussie girl in the biggest of cities. She explained she was selling t-shirts to earn a meagre living so she could continue creating her art. And boy, was her art incredible! One lawsuit and meeting with Kanye West later, the rest is history. She's the shit! When I see videos of her these days, she still seems to be that same girl in New York, even though she is world-renowned, married, and has a child. I saw her do a TED Talk; it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. She seemed quite surprised that the stuffy world of fine art was taking her seriously. I try to get my work to her level as close as possible, which is a big ask. So, Caravaggio, Barkley and CJ are what I want to be – simples! Martin Ⓒ AXEMATIC What euphoric moment have you had in your career thus far, and why? I did a portrait for a couple's 50th wedding anniversary. I was pretty nervous whilst doing the commission because: a) the pressure of producing something for a couple that has been together for that long is always going to be daunting; and b) I had to give a speech explaining the portrait in a room of 200 people at this posh function. I did the portrait and gave the speech, but the crowd's reaction to unveiling the picture was audible gasps, whoops, and then a huge round of applause. I was expecting applause, as people are polite even if they don't feel something, but I was not expecting THAT reaction. There was a standing ovation. I naturally responded, "I take it you lot like the picture?". Even the golden couple said the portrait had stolen the show, which was priceless to me, especially as the bride is an art lover. To say that moment spurred me on would be an understatement. When the average person likes your work, that is a thrill for me. There was another moment when I saw a friend who owned a gallery in Wimbledon. It was just after lockdown, and I'd lost contact with him. So I went blindly to see if they were open and if I could use our friendship to perhaps display some of my work in his space. The gallery was still closed, so I went into a restaurant nearby to get food and see if they knew anything about the gallery. A proprietor of another local business was also having lunch with the owner. Both were art lovers and collectors, with the restaurant filled with art, presumably from local artists. I showed them the painting I was thinking of asking my friend to display. They both liked it. There and then, they started bidding for the work. It wasn't huge sums, but their bidding got a bit heated. I was never going to sell and even offered to do a similar portrait for each of them, but they were having none of it – they wanted that particular piece. I left the restaurant with both men still arguing! I thought, "I might actually be quite good at this art malarkey". It rubbed my ego the right way! What was 1990s Peckham like for you? Peckham during that period was a blast! Again, a bit like my time in Hackney in the previous decade, it was a crime-ridden ghetto, but we didn't know any better. Once in Peckham, you were in the heart of south London. It always lived in Brixton's culture shadow, but Only Fools And Horses and Desmonds put it on the map. I was in my adolescence at the time, so being a young man who had just left home, it would always be an adventure. Sadly, some of my darkest times were also during this period. I was in a gang; I had been stabbed; and was into petty crime, so I had been locked up. Thankfully, I stayed in college throughout all of this. The benefits of having a good education have left their mark. I knew the street life wasn't for me, but it was great while I was in it. Peckham also suffers from what I was moaning about with Hackney, as the very people who made it trendy are now being sidelined. All of a sudden, Peckham Rye railway station is being revamped. A lovely green is being constructed in the station approach. From an art perspective, it is most annoying that they will be reviving The Old Waiting Room, which has been closed for 50 years, to its original art deco grandeur. The coincidence of these projects is frustrating. When I lived in Peckham, we didn't even know about this Old Waiting Room's existence. Again, not cool at all! That's My Dawg Ⓒ AXEMATIC You spent three years living in Lagos, Nigeria; what was the reason behind this? My parents wanted me to know more about my roots. At the time, my dad lived in Lagos with my sister, and I lived here in London with my mum. We did a switch. I went to live in Nigeria with my dad, and my sister came to London to live with my mum. Lagos was cool when I knew I was on holiday, but the moment I knew I wasn't coming back to England, it became a nightmare and an eye-opener, even more so when I was sent to a military boarding school in the north of Nigeria. Man, was that an experience! In hindsight, I definitely appreciate it. I learnt how to understand Yoruba, and I'm bilingual. I learnt other vital crucial life skills, but more importantly, I began understanding the context. You can't take things for granted. Living in England, I think we sometimes moan about trivial issues, "I can't afford Netflix, " and stuff like that. First World problems, as they say. Well, some people haven't even got electricity in Nigeria, and it's one of the wealthier African nations, so you can only imagine what it's like for people that live in places like the Central African Republic or Somalia. You've lived in London and Lagos; tell us how both (culturally and generally) influence your work/craft. Both cities are wildly different but have similarities as they are both sprawling metropolises. When I think about it now, though London is more of a developed city, Lagos is definitely more urbanised. It's a very large, sprawling, almost concrete jungle. It's just mad! As far as influences on myself, obviously, London is one of the great art cities. At school, we have the privilege of visiting great museums and art galleries from an early age. I lived in Holborn for many years, right on the doorstep of Theatreland, so there was all of that going on influential-wise. London's also a global centre for music, and many of the arts have a significant influence and a long history. With Lagos, what I took from there is just the hustle, the hustle n bustle of it all, making the most of what you've got and then some. You've gotta get five plus five to add up to fifteen! Then there's the attitude. Londoners, whilst being hospitable people, are famous for having little patience. Short shrift for small talk or small fry, but Lagosians can be even more brutal. They're known for not having time for "any nonsense". These factors have helped mould me as a person. Having experienced country living in both the UK and Nigeria, I'm wholeheartedly a city boy! All of that is reflected in my art; I'd like to think it's in your face. You immediately know the subject line, even if you feel you didn't know or have read the message. At what age did you realise you wanted to be an artist/knew you had talent? I've always loved art and knew I could draw from nursery. But most of my life, I didn't take it seriously. In fact, I didn't do that well in GCSE art. Another kid in my class, Simon Williams, was (and still is) an incredible artist. So I almost felt, "I don't even want to try to mess with that...". I worked in the music industry for a number of years managing Drum n Bass and Grime artists and used to airbrush my client's profile pictures myself (in the days when an actual physical photo was used) rather than pay a photographer. I got really good at it, so I started designing the artwork for my artist's mix tapes rather than hiring a graphic designer. Many music industry professionals assumed I had paid a talented designer to do the covers and were shocked to find out it was humble old me! I knew I had something, and I then switched industries. I first became a Tax Advisor and then a Civil Servant – two roles as far from the arts as you can get! A few redundancies later, I rekindled the passion that never really went away. Lockdown was the catalyst to really try to turn that dream into reality. How did you get your big break/first commission, and what did the experience feel like? My first commission came about when I showed family and friends the work I'd been doing for a bit of fun. I was expecting people to say, "oh, that's nice...." and that would be it. Then, a friend of mine who had just bought a house in Essex said that he wanted a large portrait of himself in the lobby. The house was large, and he was undoubtedly proud of the pretty pile he'd worked hard to purchase. As soon as they came into his house, he wanted people to see a large imposing picture of himself - sort of like a king and his castle. So I said I'd do it, but only when I had the time. Eventually, I would have created something over the weeks, but he uttered those magical words, "I'll pay you", and I haven't looked back from there! I did the commission. I unveiled it to him, and we shot a little video because he wanted me to describe the inspiration behind the piece and what went into the process. So he posted that video, which went mini-viral, and then I started to get quite a few enquiries from people about doing work for them and asking for my rates. So I had to get my pricing structure together quickly and did two commissions for a wealthy contractor. Another friend asked me to do her parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. That commission was the first time I thought, "OK, I'm a serious artist now". Since I've been doing those additional videos for my clients, they seem to want that as part of the package. They always want me to come along and do the unveiling in front of their family and friends and give a little bit of a speech. I try to make it more entertaining for them, and that goes down well. Of course, I should charge more for that, but it's fun to do, and it's nice to know that people appreciate your work. I mean, this is something that I would probably be doing for nothing but being paid to do it, no matter how meagre – I'm pretty blessed! I've still not made it, though. I'm not Damien Hirst or Banksy, but that's the aim – to get to those levels, be able to do nothing but art, and think about nothing but art. I'll get there one day. Girl at protest Ⓒ AXEMATIC Do you have any advice for any aspiring artists trying to make it? I'd say to young aspiring artists to just keep practising. I mean, that's the only way. Use every conceivable hour of the day that you can spare for your craft. It's the only way to get better, to stay inspired. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, and if an idea is in my head, I get the pad out and start sketching. It doesn't matter what time it is – I'm just on it! I would also say to study other forms of art to get inspiration. For example, you can do your version of a song, a poem, or even another painting. But do your version in your art form or your interpretation. It sounds simple, and obviously, it's not, but putting it together is the tricky part. That can only be achieved with practice. I'd also advise having an unwavering belief in yourself as well, I think that helps. I often compare established or famous artists' work with mine, convincing myself that I'm just as good as they are, even if they are better than me. What's in it? 2-5% difference in the quality? Don't get me wrong, I'm not delusional. I'm not trying to say I'm CJ Hendry or Michelangelo, but I'd like to think that I'm in the same bracket, you know. Perhaps mid-table of that exclusive league. And even if I wasn't... I'd believe it anyway! What does the future look like for Axe? I hope for bigger and better things, naturally. My confidence is pretty high at the moment, so I'm pushing on, though my journey has just started. Like any artist, I want to be recognised nationally or globally. I wish to be displayed in the big galleries. Though I'm humble by nature and don't have much of an ego, I nevertheless do have an ego! Who wouldn't want their art to sell like a Basquiat at Sotheby's or Christie's (despite my criticism of those institutions and the wider art world)? I'd like critical acclaim for the hours I've put in, though I recognise that other, possibly more talented artists, who have been in the game longer, are still striving to achieve this. So I guess I'm happy with what I get, but that's entirely different from what I want! I definitely would love to be in the same space as more established artists than myself. Or meet uber-talented ones who are like me on their way up. That would be cool! But as it stands, I've still got a lot to say about my artwork. I still feel like a young artist who has a lot to say and a lot to express with a lot of energy. So I want to get it out there, so I'll keep doing that. I hope to change the world in my own small way through the pictures that I create and the portraits I paint...that's really my main goal.

The new millage for the Fraser Public Library will be the first increase in millage funding since the library was established in 1963. Photo by Brendan Losinski Fraser library millage approved by voters By: Brendan Losinski | Fraser-Clinton Chronicle | Published August 8, 2022 Advertisement FRASER — On Aug. 2, Fraser residents voted to approve a new millage supporting the Fraser Public Library. It will replace a previous millage that has remained unchanged since 1963. It was approved with 1,870 votes being cast in support of it, which was 57.6% of votes cast in the race, while 1,374 votes, or 42.4% of votes cast in the race, were opposed. The ballot measure approved the new millage to run for 20 years. “We were ecstatic to find out the results for the library millage!” Library Director Lorena McDowell said in an email. “Not only did the residents vote in favor of the millage, but every precinct voted yes. We couldn’t ask for anything more than to see such community-wide support. Our mission now is to do our best to be good stewards for the funding and provide excellent resources for Fraser residents.” “The library board and staff thank the Fraser voters for passing the millage approval,” Library Board President Marlene Hoeft added in the same email. “We know that the library is loved and supported by the people of Fraser and are truly grateful that even in these difficult economic times, they have chosen to sustain us with this millage.” The millage provides funding for the Fraser Public Library through a property tax on the residents of Fraser. The library established a 1 mill rate in perpetuity when it was established. Library staff say that the funding needs of the library have increased since 1963, so the library asked the citizens of Fraser to increase the funding by one more mill. Two mills is the maximum allowed by law for libraries in Michigan, so supporters of the millage stated that the library will be fully funded with the passage of the ballot measure. “Seventy-five percent of this millage will be used for building issues,” Library Marketing Director Fatima Syed said in July. “Our current building is owned by the city of Fraser and is badly in need of repair. It also lacks adequate parking for us to provide the services that are expected of a modern library. Our first choice is to move to a larger building. If the millage passes but we are not able to purchase an appropriate building in Fraser, our second choice is to purchase our current building from the city and refurbish and build onto the current building.” Syed added, “The other 25% will be used to update our technology and to provide more programming for patrons, especially the youth of Fraser.”

And then the next day we do it all again. Excursions Though we purposely keep the exact details of the next day's agenda hidden until the night before, your week will be full of adventures that allow you to sample the highlights of what makes Tuscany so famous. Expect private tastings at award winning wineries, guided tours of ancient cities, pampering at natural thermal spas, mingling with the jetset at coastal resort towns, and more. The Evenings The days are all memorable, but it’s the nights that our past travelers have told us they love the most. Each evening is an extravagant dinner party with fantastic cuisine, unlimited fine wines and cocktails, themes, games, and lots of laughter.

Bananas are beautiful exotic plants with lush green foliage that are fast-growing and can give a tropical look and feel to any garden or home. If you are a fan of exotic tropical plants like us and want to grow banana trees but don’t have enough space or live in a cold climate, you can opt to grow them in pots. It is actually very easy, and yes – bananas grown in pots can bear fruits! Many banana varieties grow well in pots and can also withstand temperature drops. We will help you choose the right variety for you and show you how to take care of it easily, so it grows into a healthy and strong plant. All you need to do is carefully read these 10 tips on growing banana trees in pots, and you will instantly become an expert! 1. Choosing The Right Variety If you chose to grow bananas in a pot, you would probably need a dwarf variety, especially if you need to take it indoors before the first frost. What is unique about dwarf varieties is that they taste so much better than the regular supermarket bananas. Dwarf varieties of banana trees can grow anywhere between 2 to 4 meters. The best dwarf varieties to choose for growing in containers or indoors are Dwarf Red, Dwarf Cavendish, Dwarf Brazilian, Dwarf Jamaican, Rajapuri, Williams Hybrid, Gran Nain, and Dwarf ‘Lady Finger’. If you decide to grow ornamental bananas, try Ensete ventricosum, Musa sikkimensis ‘Red Tiger’, or Musa ornata. 2. Buying The Banana Plant via wikimedia.org Once you have chosen which varieties to grow, it is time to buy your banana. Although most of the nurseries do not carry bananas, they can order them for you or easily order some online. Most banana plants come as bulbs or corms, so you should be prepared for what to do once the plant arrives. The first step is very important, and it involves washing the corm in lukewarm water to remove any fungal or bacterial growth, which may have developed during shipping. Then it is planting time! 3. Planting The Banana Start by choosing a standard, medium-sized container with a hole at the bottom that will allow good drainage. Now plant the rhizome upwards so the top part is uncovered and can be exposed to light. You can cover the corm with soil after few leaves appear. When the plant becomes container bound, it is time to replant in a bigger container to ensure fruits. 4. Choosing The Right Location Bananas are tropical plants, so logically, they love lots of sun, heat but also humidity. Have this in mind when choosing the location for your banana tree once it is planted. Choose a spot that receives sun during most of the day but make sure it is sheltered from the wind. 5. Soil Requirements When buying the potting mix for your banana plant, go for the quality. Bananas require well-drained, sandy soil that is also rich in organic matter and compost. You can choose to make your own potting mix; just make sure you include some sand, perlite as well as compost or manure. Bananas need soil with a pH of around 6-7. If your soil is alkaline, mix sulfur to decrease the pH. 6. Humidity As we mentioned, bananas are tropical plants that need humidity even higher than 50%. To obtain this, it is crucial to mist your banana tree and place it on a layer of pebbles in a tray filled with water. This way, you will increase the humidity levels around the plant. 7. Watering Your Potted Banana Bananas need to be watered at least once a week, but if they receive a lot of direct sunlight and the room temperature is high, they will need watering every two days. Before each watering, check the moisture level about 1 inch below the soil’s surface; if it is dry, then it is the right time for watering. To keep better moisture, apply some mulch. 8. Fertilizing Needs As bananas are plants that grow very fast, it is obvious that they need fertilizing to grow at their full strength. For young plants, use nitrogen-rich fertilizer, which will help them grow faster. Once the banana plant is mature enough to produce fruits, fertilize it with 15:5:30 fertilizer regularly. 9. Diseases and Pests Luckily bananas are quite resistant to pests. However, some pests can attack your plant, most likely aphids, banana weevil, and coconut scale. To fight them, use organic pesticides. If you notice that your banana tree leaves turn brown, it means you are overwatering the plant. If they turn yellow, then the banana plant is having a lack of nutrients. 10. Overwintering Banana Trees via When temperatures fall under 50 ° Fahrenheit, banana trees stop growing. This is why before the winter comes, you should apply mulch heavily and prune the leaves. Once prepared, place the plant in a warm, bright room until spring.

They are herbaceous plants with pseudostems. They have specific requirements in regards of light and temperature. In a marginal climate (growing zone 8 and below), it will be extremely difficult to get them to fruit. A fruit bunch will take about 6 month to fill in and ripen properly to get edible bananas.

Dwarf banana plants are hard to get in these areas. Reply Jen April 8, 2018 at 8:50 pm I live in southern ca. I have had banana trees for almlost 15 years.. and although they produce bananas they never ripen. How do you get them to turn ripe when they are almost fully grown. I can open them up and the innermost layer feels like a ripe banana would feel.. So its almost as if they are almost ripen.. Reply Kristi September 21, 2018 at 4:15 am Jen you know how the bananas come from the top down in what are called “hands”? You can start removing them from the main stem (don’t cut the main flower stem) when you think they’re about ready. If they need to continue to ripen, you have 3 options. Take them in and 1) Keep them together on the counter and they will ripen. Bananas release ethylene which will cause them to ripen. Just the same if you want them to stay green longer you separate the bunch. 2) You can put them in a brown paper bag together to speed #1 along. OR 3) When you bring them in sit them where they will get bright indirect light inside. Hope this helps! Reply Margarita September 22, 2018 at 8:57 pm Jen I live in southern California too San Diego and I don’t where to found some plants Reply Miriam March 14, 2019 at 3:47 am I purchased my seed from the Wish App. They are awesome!

The Furry Godmother is a fully bonded and insured pet sitting and dog walking service Mahwah | Ramsey, NJ Website Designed at Homestead™ Get a Website and List Your Business About Us: "I grew up in the Mahwah-Ramsey area. After graduating St. Paul's School and Ramsey High School, I chose a career in nursing. Upon earning a nursing degree from Felician College, I worked in different area hospitals focusing on oncology and psychiatry. After I married, my husband (Pete) and I moved right down the street from where I grew up. "28 years and 3 sons later, I have the time to concentrate on the things that I love. Animals have always fascinated me. What makes them tick? My approach as your pet sitter is to look at the ‘whole animal’ to provide expert, pinpointed care that meets the needs of each animal. And since I have lived in this area all my life, I want to care for local animals in my hometown where I am close by and available to my clients. So now, I truly have the best job! What could be better than being outdoors, getting exercise, and meeting new friends both human and furry? "I believe leaving pets in their familiar environment is the best thing in most cases. Not only is it less stressful for the pet but also for the owner. Not having to deliver or pick up your pet from a kennel is a time saver and when you come home from your trip, your pet will be waiting to give you hugs and kisses and you can both relax. Also, leaving your pets in your home means they will not be exposed to canine flu, viruses, and fleas. "Here at The Furry Godmother, we have a saying: 'Cause furry tails DO come true!' And they really will for your pets when you work with us! Call or email me so we can meet and discuss your needs and your pets!" - Lauren Lauren Charkowski President of The Furry Godmother, LLC Pet Care Specialist Peter Lakawicz Pet Care Assistant "About four years ago, when my wife (Lauren) needed help, she wanted to find someone who was dependable, trustworthy, and experienced with dogs. Naturally, Lauren decided that I would be a good choice to help her out! "Back in the day (35+ years ago!), I was involved in Greyhound Rescue long before most people even heard of it. One of my first dogs was a Greyhound named Betsy. I got her right off the racetrack in South Dakota where I was attending college at the time. "I grew up just down the road in Elmwood Park, NJ and I have a degree from Ramapo College in Human Environment. I'm pleased to be able to bring my 32 years of business experience, sense of humor, and love of animals to our clients!" - Pete "Our love of animals (especially dogs) has always been a bond between us. Pete gave me a German Shepherd puppy for my 25th birthday. For our 25th wedding anniversary? We didn't go on cruise, or a trip to Europe, or exchange expensive jewelry... we gave each other a puppy, of course! We love dogs, we love talking about dogs, and we love working with dogs. Apparently, we get on our children's "last nerve" because we talk about dogs too much and we've been warned that they will not go out with us if we are going to 'talk dog.' And we'll bring that enthusiasm for your pets on every visit!" - Lauren

The power of positive mindset in attracting the business and personal growth you desire are undeniable, as Elite Consulting Partners CEO Frank LaRosa discusses with the company’s Regional Market Manager Len Murtha. Their in-depth conversation mines the theories of positivity, abundance, and the laws of attraction to offer financial advisors a new perspective on how to approach their practice – and life – in order to achieve goals and realize success. Key insights and takeaways include: *Why using the philosophies of flow and reciprocity are key components of maximizing business value. *How financial advisors can implement mindset techniques in a traditionally tactical business environment with intentionalism to accelerate growth. *Why energetic strategies can prove vital to shifting advisor mindsets for enhanced business performance. *The trickle-down effect that mindset, positivity, and big-picture thinking have on satisfaction and happiness in all areas of an advisor’s life. *How the energetic changes within the financial services industry, particularly in the wirehouse space, have fostered a lack of advisor fulfillment. The depth of discussion between Frank and Len conveys a direct message to advisors that fulfillment as an individual is the ‘secret sauce’ to actualizing full potential in their practices. It’s time for advisors to get excited again about their careers. Let’s all vibrate at that higher level and visualize our collective, greater achievement in order to reframe the financial services industry together!

According to the word of the year 2021 is "Allyship". The term is defined as "the state or condition of being an ally: supportive association with another person or group". In other words, allyship is the practice of emphasizing social justice, inclusion, and human rights In this more than challenging year, in which the whole world was faced with the uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic, mutual support and understanding are needed more than ever before. And while we are all struggling with our own worries and doubts and the time seems to be passing by too quickly, perhaps the end of the year is the perfect time to reflect and to take a closer look at the things we could and should do to make this world a place of equality, love and mutual respect. We often forget that by pointing a finger at others, the other four fingers of our hand are actually pointing at us. And we may not be able to change the whole world, but we are always just one step, one decision away from changing ourselves. That is the reason why I choose the word "change" to be the word for 2022. I'm not talking about a huge list of New Year's resolutions. I'm talking about the process of becoming more conscious about myself, about the people and the world that I'm surrounded by. I'm talking about accepting that being different doesn't mean wrong. I'm talking about recognizing that I may not always be able to understand someone's choice or point of view but I can always choose kindness as my primary reaction. By accepting and realizing that we are all equal citizens of this beautiful home called Earth, we need to do our own part and make sure that every single living being and soul on this planet feels accepted, loved, and respected. And it all starts with each and every one of us. The way we choose to talk, act, and react in every given moment is the change we desperately need in this world. If you and I really want to make an impact, we just have to take a close look at the person in the mirror. And to choose to love that person unconditionally, to fully accept every single part of ourselves, to make our mental and physical health a priority. In the end, we all just want to be accepted for who we truly are. So be authentic, be whoever your soul desires to be. Smile, cry, scream, and laugh when you need to. And give everyone around you the chance to do the same. To be fully present, to exist, to be - everything and everyone we were created to be. I hope that the upcoming year will be filled with hope and joy, and will move you towards all the things your heart was seeking and whispering to you until this moment.

The most common and most serious emergency you can experience on your property is water damage. The presence of water on your property can be distressing and threaten your safety and value, no matter whether the cause is-a storm, flood, broken pipe, overflowing appliance, or sewage backup. To prevent further property damage and implement solutions that work, taking action as soon as possible is crucial. Stop the flow of water. If you can, locate and stop any stream of water flowing into or around your home to prevent further damage. If you don’t know where your shutoff valves are, take the time to find them if your water lines leak or if your water heater malfunctions. You should take the necessary measures to protect your home against water intrusion if you know of an impending storm. Contact your insurance provider. As soon as possible, you should contact your insurance provider to report the damage and find out what they plan to do. Be sure to do the following: Ensure you know any applicable deductibles and filing deadlines under your insurance policy. Photograph and inventory the damaged items to document the damage. An adjuster can help you evaluate the extent of damage and estimate repair costs. Maintain detailed records of all receipts and payments. Water damage round rock can help you handle water damage restoration claims when you’re unsure how to do so. You will continue to receive assistance from your insurance company and mortgage company to ensure you receive the best care possible. It is stressful enough to deal with water damage on its own, and you do not need to deal with insurance complications when water damage is stressful enough on its own. Protect Yourself Disable all sources of electricity within the affected areas immediately after cutting off the water supply. It is hazardous if you continue to allow normal electrical flow in the presence of water since water conducts electricity very well. Turn off all circuits in the affected areas safely by accessing your circuit breaker panel. Remove all electrical devices from affected rooms. If flooding is imminent, all household members and pets should be evacuated. You should keep pets and children enclosed in a safe area even if the water damage results from a burst water heater or a leaking pipe. Keep Your Valuables Safe It’s safe to remain inside your home, but elevate anything soaked or flooded to prevent further damage. Mold can develop quickly on water-soaked items, so make sure you remove valuable furniture from the area as soon as possible to prevent future rot. Furthermore, remove any valuable electronics or items that may be damaged, such as high-priced items or irreplaceable ones. Get in touch with Water Damage Round rock Lastly, don’t try doing water damage restoration yourself. Certified experts are the only people with access to the right equipment and techniques for safe and adequate water damage repair. Mold growth and rot eventually result from improper restoration, causing more expensive repairs. Take no chances!

Mariela's love of cultural artifacts and history, music and art, has been influenced by her home country of Argentina, and growing up in several countries in the Americas. Studies in film and business communications in Monterrey, Mexico, led to work in film production and marketing in Puerto Rico, El Salvador and Nicaragua. After stretches of time in Bali and Tulum, she settled in Nevada City. She began experimenting with pyro-wood burning techniques, touched with inspiration from her travels and her parent’s lifetimes creative works of art. Mariela’s “Func-Art" is a mix of rich colors and shaded pyro art applied to everyday functional wood pieces found mostly on the shelves in our numerous local thrift shops or alongside our regional rivers and lakes. There is no preset look to Mariela’s work: each piece plays off a scrap of wood, a simple table, a piece of driftwood, or a discarded lampshade.

When many tabs are open, FZ indicates unseen tabs to the left or right by means of a little arrow. (Aside: This arrow is grayed out when at the end of the list, but I'd prefer a much lighter shade of gray, as mine appears nearly black.) Open a bunch of tabs, so that there are many unseen tabs to the left. Now close the rightmost tabs. Instead of unseen tabs coming into view from the left, blank space remains where the now-closed tabs formerly sat. Only when the last visible tab to the right is closed is a set of leftward tabs then brought into view. It would be nicer to maximize the number of viewable tabs as each is closed. On the issue of maximizing the view, it would also be nice to be able to set the width (in characters) of the tab, in case a user can tolerate more, but shorter, tabs. Finally, it would be great to have a customizable tab display using formatted fields, as with date and time, by creating a spot at Settings/Interface/Tabs. Presently, the display is of the form "Sitename - Server" (perhaps this might be indicated by a format string "%n - %s", e.g.). My server is always the same, so I have a lot of wasted characters on my tabs. For me, "Sitename-Remote folder" (%n-%r) would be far preferable, as I often wander from my original folder, leaving me several tabs with the same display, open to different folders. Long info could appear in the dropdown widget at the right (I love that thing), while compressed versions can be shown on the tabs (e.g., "FaveSite-.../Here/Now"). This is the sort of request that shows a user is spoiled rotten, which in turn indicates the already excellent state of a program.

The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to announce our exclusive West Coast representation of Netherlands based photographer Bastiaan Woudt (1987), whose emotive portraits and mystic landscapes capture monochrome minimalism at its finest. Bastiaan was nominated in 2014 for the SO Awards and was named New Dutch Photography Talent in 2015. In 2016, the British Journal of Photography included him in their ‘Ones to Watch’ issue, and he received the Van Vlissingen Art Foundation Prize. Alongside his own work, Woudt has done commissioned work for magazines such as British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, New York Magazine, Numéro Paris, and l’Officiel. Bastiaan Woudt’s use of intuition guides the creation of his imagery. Instead of shot lists and lighting charts, he lets his eye discover the image. Often moving around his subject in studio, he is constantly observing all angles and aspects of his subject without preconceived ideals dictating success. His mastery of minimalism leads to a poetic conversation of tone and contrast. You’ll find a hint of surrealism as the sober shades within his work invite the viewer to see only the essence of his subjects. The digitally native photographs are rooted in the study of traditional 20th century photographic practices. His quest to explore and expand on classic imagery has led him down a path of continuous discovery and resulted in photographic beauty that is surprising and reinforces tradition.

I’m writing to you in regards to new cancer research and actions. I think that cancer is a serious topic of discussion and that we should be doing everything we can to help cancer patients. One of my childhood friends was diagnosed with cancer when she was in third grade. During cancer treatments, she was motivated at first to do everything she could to get through, but soon she lost her motivation and wasn’t too certain she would make it. However, my friend and I didn’t give up on her and she is now free of cancer for 2 years. I would really like it if cancer patients everywhere realized that there are people for them and that they will get better very quickly. An article from the MD Anderson Cancer Center says that one of the easiest ways to help cancer patients is just helping them with everyday tasks. Helping them with groceries, helping them keep their house clean, driving them to appointments. Another way to help is to visit them regularly. This helps let them know that they have a friend by their side no matter what. American Cancer Society says that many patient families have trouble dealing with the costs of cancer treatment. Some ways to help are to donate to cancer-related websites so that the stress of dealing with costs can be lifted off of their shoulders. I think that many people can easily help support this cause and that it should be talked about more. Sincerely, Drishti Nishar Eighth-grader Fairfax About the Writer Drishti Nishar Drishti Nishar is an eighth-grader in RCMS.

This year the housing market was different than what was forecasted. A review of Rein’s monthly market reports show that inventory has steadily declined since the beginning of the year which started at the lowest point since 2013. Sales have remained strong throughout the year with the best months being February and May while July had a large drop year-over-year. The drop in July was not in Hampton Roads alone, in fact the Hampton Roads market has followed the national market with low inventory and low sales in July. Redfin is attributing the July sales to a month of fewer business days due to five full weekends and a national holiday. New construction has continued to be strong since May with double digit growth and the median sale price has remained relatively stable since April which had a 4% increase year-to-year. The mild winter may have helped the spring market and May had the lowest state unemployment rate since 2008. Interest Rates Although the Federal Reserve threatened to raise mortgage rates this year, we have actually seen a decline of approximately 0.5% since January with rates below 4%. Many of the foreign economies are experiencing slow growth which is keeping our rates low. If China, Japan, and Europe’s economies turnaround, our rates may rise a noticeable level but until that happens, economists don’t expect to see a significant change. We may continue to see rates near 4% for a while. Homebuyer Shift While the market has remained strong and rates low, the homebuyer market has seen a change in homebuyers. According to NAR, in this past year, 17% of homebuyers were single women, which was twice the rate of single men. Many female buyers of single family homes are in their 40’s or older and are divorced or widowed. The report also showed that single millennial women are buying condominiums. MLS Tools This July REIN implemented single sign-on technology to allow easy access to all the necessary transaction tools. You no longer have to recall numerous websites and passwords to process a single transaction. This should speed up and simplify the transaction process. In October zipLogix Products were replaced by Instanet Solutions to also simplify the transaction process. Matrix is now the sole MLS system. This decision was made by the product vendor who is no longer going to support the technology behind Fusion. The REIN staff was busy working with the vendor to create reports and functional processes to make the transition seamless while offering all the tools that we need to run our businesses. Change can be painful for some, but in a world of changing technology and data access it is important that we stay up-to-date to effectively service our clients. Since this year’s market has been so strong it is believed that it will remain strong into next year. Rates may increase to 4.5% but this should not have an impact on the market. It will still be difficult for first time home buyers to qualify for a mortgage. If inventories increase, appreciation should slow down and keep prices at an affordable level, allowing many first time home buyers to qualify for a loan.
