Recommended Trekking Route: Ao Ech – Viet Hai This route is around eight kilometers long across the lush forest of Cat Ba National Park. The first section, lasting 100 meters, is the most difficult section because you have to navigate high rising stones. Along the trail stands a lot of big trees. Don’t let the fatigue distract you from enjoying the beauty of the forest. After trekking uphill, you will see a large mass of water stretching out before your eyes under the trees: you are at Ao Ech (literally means frog pond). Ao Ech is the only flooded forest highland in northern Vietnam. Ao Ech has an area of 3.2 hectares and is 80 meters above the sea level. The water in the pond is so clear that you can see to the bottom! As its name suggests, you can also hear the buzzing sound of frogs. The next section of trail will be around the limestone mountains cliffs. This is the limestone forest, and you will see many vines interwoven along the ground. After eight kilometers across Cat Ba National Park, you will reach Viet Hai fishing village. Mountains surround this village on all sides and to reach it you can only travel across the sea or go across Cat Ba National Part forest via the trekking route. When your journey ends, you can take the boats to return to your accommodation to relax and be ready for the next journey. You will start at Cat Ba National Park main gate and have to provide your personal information (name, ID, passport, and phone number). Address: Xuyen dao Cat Ba Street, Ward Tran Chau, District Cat Hai Discover Kim Giao Forest and Ngu Lam Peak It will take you about 15 to 20 minutes to walk from Cat Ba National Park to Kim Giao forest. The first 500 meters from the garden to the foot of the mountain is quite flat and easy to navigate. Observe the botanical garden with more than 1,500 species in Cat Ba National Park. From the bottom of the mountain, you start to climb 500 meters along sections of rugged limestone stairs. Exploring Kim Giao may take three to four hours to walk only three kilometers. You will rest in the shade of green foliage, listen to the sound of the wind and the summer choir of cicadas, enjoy listening to the guides detailing the origin of the name Kim Giao: the love story of a boy, Kim and a girl, Giao. After that, you will continue trekking to conquer Ngu Lam Peak with the height of 210 meters above sea level. The higher you climb, the more difficult the road is, with narrow and slippery paths just enough for one person to walk through. After nearly two hours of climbing, you can reach Ngu Lam Peak. Now, you can take an expansive picture of Cat Ba National Park from above and immerse in majestic nature. Kim Giao Forest with the untouched beauty and various kinds of flora and fauna will bring you to a peaceful atmosphere with interesting experiences for those who loves adventures. The route also starts at Ca Ba National Part main gate. The address is above. Challenge Yourself with Deep Water Soloing This is an extreme sport executed on the side of dangerous cliffs over the sea, you can fall back into the water if your hand or foot slips. Cat Ba Islands are considered the heaven of deep water soloing because it’s not too hard to climb the cliffs with bare hands and the sea is deep enough to be safe. This is a sport of strength and nimbleness, just a second of inattentiveness will cause you to fall right away. You have to be clever to coordinate your hands and legs, and most importantly your mind! For beginners, the common height is 10 meters above the sea level, but it’s 30 meters for professionals. While climbing requires calculations, cleverness, and strength, falling to the sea brings a feeling of freedom and comfort: a new experience of free fall from the height of dozens of meters. For many people, deep water soloing is a sport that helps them find their limits and try to break their own mental and physical barriers. It’s not only an extreme sport, it’s a challenge to your psyche. You can experience deep water soloing with Mr. Zoom Company: Mr. Zoom Backpacker Hostel Address: 25 Nui Ngoc Street, Cat Ba Town Contact: (+84) 0225 36 96 230 Cat Ba National Park is really for those travelers who admire the full beauty of the wild mountains and forests.

By Tiffany Lester, MD, for Parsley Health It’s officially spring! While many of us look forward to shedding some layers and watching the flowers bloom, folks with allergies dread this season filled with nasal congestion, and Kleenex. You are not alone. Allergies affect about 50 million people in the United States. And they continue to increase every year with most people having more than just one type of allergy. The most common allergens include trees, grass/weed pollen, mold, dust mites, and cat/dog dander. While some of these can be controlled by keeping a dust-free, pest-free home, often people with allergies will keep all the windows closed to avoid environmental triggers. This can actually worsen indoor air quality and increase sneezing and congestion. Especially if you are cleaning your home with toxic cleaners. Choosing brands like Meliora or Pure Laundry that are made with natural ingredients or DIY is actually the best way to ensure that your home stays toxin-free. I see patients who load up on over-the-counter drugs to dull the effects of their allergies. These mask the problem and often cause terrible side effects. That’s why I’ve created a four-step solution for my patients to help cure allergies naturally. RELATED: Schedule a free conversation with a Parsley Health expert to learn about our comprehensive approach to a healthy eating. Other Ways To Stay Sniffle-free This Spring 1. Take a natural antihistamine. Over-the-counter antihistamines are the first thing many people reach for when allergy season hits. While effective, they can have side effects like headaches, drowsiness, dry mouth, and fatigue, especially with chronic use. I like to recommend a natural antihistamine when patients are really suffering that includes ingredients from natural sources. My favorite is D-Hist which contains stinging nettles and bromelain (the active enzyme in pineapples) for allergy relief. 2. Stop eating dairy. While it may be tempting to enjoy that ice cream as the temperature warms up, it could be worsening your nasal congestion. Dairy can increase the mucous production of your nasal passages, making symptoms worse. I had the absolute worst allergies growing up. Doctors told me it was due to genetics. During medical school, I started to learn about nutrition and cut out dairy. My allergies evaporated into thin air and I had the startling realization of how powerful the food we eat can be on our health. 3. Take your shoes off at the door. You could spend all day cleaning your home but unknowingly tracking in pesticides and environmental allergens on your shoes. We can’t control the outside allergen exposure completely. But you can greatly decrease your exposure by taking your shoes off as soon as you walk in the door. Slip into a comfortable pair of socks or slippers that you only use inside your home. 4. Get tested. Eighty percent of our immune system is in our gut. If you have a leaky gut, you are more prone to develop new allergies or worsen existing ones. At Parsley Health, we do state-of-the-art testing to determine the actual health of your gut and how it is affecting your immune system. I have seen allergies disappear once we heal a patient’s gut. This piece was originally published on Parsley Health. Parsley Health is a groundbreaking medical practice of highly trained doctors and health coaches in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Parsley Health takes a smarter, whole approach to helping you live a healthy life. You deserve a better doctor.

Freeze-up of Hudson Bay sea ice is well underway now, virtually the same time as it was the last three years, and in 2008. Bears in the north will be able to move out, while near Churchill and in Southern Hudson Bay, some bears will be able to successfully hunt for seals on the newly-formed ice close to shore. Over the next week or so, all the bears onshore will gradually move out onto the ice as freeze-up progresses. By the time there is ~10% ice coverage on the bay, most bears will have moved onto the ice (except pregnant females that have made dens onshore). The Arctic outbreak underway in over North America may hasten this process along (see 7-day and 14-day weather forecasts for Churchill). Ice maps below courtesy Canadian Ice Service. It seems pretty clear now that time of freeze-up on Hudson Bay is not correlated with the extent of sea ice at the September minimum. Have a look at the maps and graphs below. UPDATE: more recent maps added below (ice concentration 15 November; ice development 14 November). Evolution is not just for the long-term – natural selection also goes on over short time periods. In the case of polar bears, this adaptation is almost certainly critical for its long-term survival. Hudson Bay female with cub Wapusk National Park, Thorsten Milse, Government of Canada Not all polar bears are identical — that is the reality that allows natural selection to operate. I will argue that early breakup years in Western Hudson Bay weed out individual polar bears that do not have the physiological or behavioral characteristics necessary to be useful members of the population – and that this is a good thing for the entire population.

At the most basic level, an invention must fulfill the following requirements to be considered for a patent: 1. The subject matter must be patent-eligible. Section 101 of the U.S. Patent Act, found in Title 35 of the United States Code, states that “Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title.” 2. The invention must be new or novel. If an invention was known to the public prior to an inventor filing a patent application, the invention cannot be considered new or novel, and is therefore not patentable. In other words, a patent cannot be granted if it prevents people from doing what they had previously been free to do. This requirement for novelty exists to ensure that existing inventions, also known as prior art, are not patented again. All information relevant to a patent’s claims of novelty that has been disclosed to the public, no matter the form in which it was presented, is considered prior art. 3. An invention must be non-obvious. This means that an invention must be a non-obvious improvement over existing products or practices. If it is deemed that an invention could easily be discovered by someone of “ordinary knowledge” or follow from “normal development” in a given field, the invention is not patentable. Additionally, if the invention is simply a routine or predictable combination or application of existing technology, it is not patentable. 4. An invention must be useful, meaning that the USPTO’s patent examiners must determine that an invention has a specific utility. Now knowing what it takes for an idea to be patentable, we will assume that your solution is useful. Why else would you be creating it? We will focus the patentable invention investigation on patent-eligible, novel, and non-obvious to determine if your technology or processes contain inventive material. Generally, when reviewing your product and roadmap for patentable inventions, you should focus on your most significant differentiators and competitive advantages. What do you want your sales and marketing people to tell potential clients? Is your company’s solution faster, cheaper, smaller, easier to use, etc.? How did you make it so or how do you plan to make it so? When trying to determine where in your technology there may be good IP, often an engineering team is unaware that what they have created is novel and non-obvious. It’s been our ongoing experience that talented engineering staffs frequently dismiss the possibility of their creation being patentable. This is an area where automation can really help. Automated invention discovery tools can compare product information to a vast database of prior art and help give you an idea of whether or not patentable material exists within your solution. It can also be helpful to have a patent expert examine your technical material and/or hold a brief invention investigative session with your key engineers. It is best to do this prior to publicly disclosing your innovations or offering for sale products that contain your innovations. Going forward, have your engineering team document new projects, upgrades, and designs in enough detail to have someone of a similar skill level be able to reconstruct it without too much experimentation. This enhances future invention disclosures and will provide a ready-made basis for your next set of provisional patent applications.

From Political Refugee to Advocate for Adolescent Health Tanaka Chavanduka, MPH '18 Clinical Research Coordinator, Health Behavior and Health Education, Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities August 19, 2019, Alumni, Health Behavior and Health Education, Child Health, Health Disparities, Research Tanaka Chavanduka was just four years old when his family fled from persecution in Zimbabwe. His father, Mark Chavunduka,* was a prominent journalist and founding editor of The Zimbabwe Standard, an independent newspaper that offered an alternative to government-owned media. His outspoken advocacy for freedom of the press and government transparency earned him widespread respect from fellow journalists and Zimbabwean citizens. However, it also made him a target of the government. In 1999, Chavunduka and one of his reporters, Ray Choto, published an article claiming nearly two dozen Zimbabwe National Army officers were arrested after an attempted coup. The government denied the claims and had Chavunduka and Choto arrested. During nearly two weeks of detainment, the men were brutally tortured. The guards repeatedly beat them, used electric shocks on their bodies and submerged their heads in water. After a massive outcry that drew international attention, the men were released but still charged with publishing false information. The charges were later dropped. After a year of turmoil, Mark Chavunduka, his wife and his three children sought asylum in the United States. “It was the safest for our family but we had to learn how to shape a life amid the uncertainty,” said Tanaka. As the family was settling into their new lives, Mark was compelled to return to his home country. “At the time, I didn’t really understand why he was going back,” said Tanaka. “Now, taking time to reflect, I recognize he was fulfilling his sense of purpose. He understood that information is power. He believed the progress and independence of the people depended on their access to the truth.” Tanaka believes the family’s new lives in the US reinforced his father’s determination. “As he ensured that his children could have certain freedoms, he wanted to continue advocating for those freedoms in Zimbabwe,” said Tanaka. “He taught me my first lesson in bravery.” But sadly, Mark Chavunduka never fully recovered from the injuries he sustained while in custody. In 2002, he died at age 37. What has gotten me this far are the mentors that provided me the space to think beyond limitations, and the experiences that showed me what’s possible when I do.” Thriving in the US Despite the trauma Tanaka Chavanduka experienced as a young child, he flourished academically. He enrolled at Eastern Michigan University at age 14, graduated at 18 and then pursued a master’s degree at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. “What has gotten me this far are the mentors that provided me the space to think beyond limitations, and the experiences that showed me what’s possible when I do,” he said. Finding His Purpose in Research Now a clinical research coordinator at University of Michigan School of Nursing’s Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities (CSCD), Tanaka is determined to make a positive impact on the country that gave him a safe place to thrive. He’s putting his focus on helping youth and young adults through his research at the CSHD. It’s so impressive how much knowledge exists and the discovery that is capable in a place like Michigan.” “I’m interested in understanding how youth and young adults move between their digital and physical lives to cultivate their health behaviors,” he said. “I’m learning what people require in order to feel close to solutions that provide health, healing, and positive well-being. What’s considered valuable information will shape the future of health equity. As technology advances, feeling better should not come at a cost of being exploited, especially for marginalized and vulnerable communities.” He says he finds inspiration in Michigan’s strong interdisciplinary research which is exemplified in the CSHD’s staff, faculty and students who represent nursing, public health, epidemiology, social work and various specialties. “It’s so impressive how much knowledge exists and the discovery that is capable in a place like U-M,” said Tanaka. He says he’s not ready to answer the question of what his father would think of his current work. “That is an easier question once I feel like what I’ve done can influence the human experience,” he said. But Tanaka does think about the sacrifices his father made to ensure his family would be safe and have immeasurable opportunities. “Considering who my father was shaped our presence here,” he explained. “Some people believe the reason immigrants come to America or migrate in general is to take from others. But there’s really only one thing they want to do and that’s have a better life. That gets lost in the rhetoric. It’s our responsibility to create spaces where people can find that bridge to humanity and access their potential.” *The discrepancy in the spelling of their last names was caused by an unchangeable clerical error during immigration.

For each service, you'll get an overview of the table setup in your restaurant and its status. The color markup of the table reflects its status. This color changes in relation to the dining order process. Color as table status: - free table: grey - reserved table: blue - seated: red - ordered: orange - served: green When clicking a table, the available actions for that table appear at the bottom. At every moment in the ordering process, only relevant table actions are shown, depending on the current table status: - free table: seat, reserve, order - reserved table : seat, order, free - seated: order, close (pay) - ordered: serve, order, close (pay) - served: order, close (pay) You can toggle the table overview from ‘map’ (default) to ‘tables’. In the Tables view, all tables are listed with their status and server name. The server name represents the staff user that entered the first ordered item for this table.

It wouldn’t really feel like an Apple product launch if there wasn’t some sort of technical issue for users to contend with and the release of the new iPhone X hasn’t broken tradition. The tenth-anniversary handset went on sale last Friday, but already users are experiencing problems and it looks like Apple were aware of it the whole time. The tech giant released a support document, which it called ‘About The Super Retina Display On Your iPhone X’. In the document, it states: “If you look at an OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. This is a characteristic of OLED and is normal behavior. “With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include ‘image persistence’ or ‘burn-in,’ where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen.” Not what you’d expect from a phone which starts at $999. However, Apple users aren’t the only ones facing the problem. Owners of Google’s Pixel 2 XL smartphone are experiencing similar problems, although they have the additional problem of poor colour calibration to contend with. Still, Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is one of many Samsung products using the same type of screen and so far, there is no evidence of similar problems in that device. Meanwhile, SquareTrade, a company that provides extended warranties for electronic devices, has crowned the new Apple handset the “most breakable yet“, after putting it through a series of tests designed to measure its durability. SquareTrade claimed that the iPhone X broke on its first drop and that its glass back and lack of a home button made it the least sturdy iPhone to date. “Not only did the iPhone X’s glass shatter when dropped on its front and back from a height of six feet,” said SquareTrade, “but the display also malfunctioned. “Keep in mind that pocket height for most people is about three feet.” However, many other YouTubers have been putting the new phone through its paces with varying results. EverythingApplePro placed the iPhone X in a 20-foot tube of water for 35 minutes without any signs of liquid damage, while JerryRigEverything scratched the iPhone X with a knife, including the cameras, stainless steel frame, and Apple logo. He also tried to bend the device, without much success, and to burn the display with a lighter. Featured Image Credit: Apple

(Photo by Chris Kendig) In 2014, I joined the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Innovation & Technology as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed program manager for innovation management. I knew nothing about innovation, technology, or government — but I must have known something about program management because I was hired for the job. In a post I wrote for Generocity after two years in that role, I said that “working for the city is unlike anything I imagined, and it has turned out to be the best decision I could have made, both personally and professionally.” Six years later — is that still the case? The short answer? Yes. The long answer? It’s a bit more complicated. All the things that I loved about my job in 2016 are things that I still love today. As the director of innovation (#promotion — it does happen in government!), I have tremendous autonomy over a portfolio that I deeply believe has a positive impact on Philadelphia and its residents. I get to work with colleagues across City government who are continuously challenging the status quo and truly want to deliver services and programs more efficiently, effectively and creatively. I’ve seen leaders from all sectors come together to address our city’s most pressing challenges and be excited to use Post-Its, markers and flip chart paper to brainstorm, create and implement solutions. I’ve also learned that this work is difficult and it truly takes a village to build and sustain the culture of innovation that we’ve been growing since 2014. There are so many things that I wish more people knew about sitting in this space in the public sector and while I wholeheartedly, 100%, no-questions-asked believe that everyone should consider working for government at some point, part of the reason I feel that way is because we need as many people as possible to understand these five things: 1. The right people need to be at the decision-making table. A lot of the success of our work is due to the fact that we’ve built a portfolio that makes innovation accessible to anyone. Our core programs — the Innovation Fund, Academy, Lab and Consulting — are available for all City employees, regardless of level, and we’ve seen truly fantastic ideas and change come from engaging more junior colleagues in program and process development. Over the past six years, innovation has been incorporated into more and more high-level decisions, both formally and informally, but there are still many departments and leaders who haven’t yet fully embraced our mantra of “doing government differently.” Until Innovation Academy graduates and others who “get this” work (looking at you, potential new hires) are invited into the board room (or the right Zoom call), our ability to reimagine so many elements of Philadelphia will hit a ceiling of impact. 2. Technology can’t solve everything. The irony of working in the Office of Innovation & Technology is that our work often doesn’t involve technology at all. Instead, we emphasize the people and processes behind the tech to make sure we’re addressing the right problem in the right way. Public sector innovation looks different than in other places: While we might ultimately realize that we need an app or a new cloud platform to improve an element of service delivery, more often than not, we need to eliminate redundancies in a process, or improve team communication, or overhaul an outdated strategic plan. Only once we’ve done that due diligence and incorporated the appropriate feedback and engagement from the appropriate people (see point #1) can, and should, we think about introducing a new technology into our ecosystem. 3. Government is confusing. Remember everything you learned in your Civic 101 class in high school? Yeah, me neither — but I can tell you we didn’t talk about the complicated procurement rules, the multilayered budget process, the unions, the relationship to City Council, the slower pace of business, etc. On their own, none of these factors are inherently bad, and they each serve a unique purpose in government, but they do create very real standards (and yes, sometimes barriers) for how we work, how we innovate, and how we create lasting change. And, to be sure, many of these things are elements that we’re trying to address through our innovation work, but stay tuned for point #4 because — 4. Capacity is key. With only myself and an innovation coordinator working on this portfolio full time, we’re a small team with big goals. We’re so much farther along than where we were in 2014, but there’s more work to be done, and we’re continuously thinking about ways that we can leverage departments’ and employees’ capacity to be innovative in their own portfolios without our direct involvement. Programs like the Innovation Academy and Innovation Consulting focus on training individuals and arming them with specific tools and methods they can use to think creatively about challenges in any context, and we rely on these folks to be innovation ambassadors in as many situations as possible. We need all the allies in as many pockets of City government as we can get to ensure that programs, processes and standards are continuously evaluated and improved. 5. Most employees really, really, really want to make Philadelphia better. If you’re interested in a job with the City, I’ll assume that you would be one of these people too, but just to be clear — there are so many good folks working in government who are trying exceptionally hard to make Philadelphia the best version of itself. We’ve graduated six cohorts of the Innovation Academy (and had a seventh one interrupted by COVID), funded 22 pilots through the Innovation Fund, and facilitated over 100 Innovation Consulting workshops, which means hundreds, if not thousands, of employees have chosen to engage with the innovation portfolio in some way. This doesn’t even begin to include the people who are doing this work on their own without an “official” touch point with our team. The changemakers are out there and they’re impacting us every day, even if that impact isn’t immediately felt. So, to recap: I love my job and I encourage everyone to consider a stint working for local government. COVID has made the past seven months challenging, but I think it’s simultaneously highlighted both how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go, regarding innovating in government — and a key part of that trajectory is getting the right people in the right positions at the right time. I am just as grateful for, and excited about, my role as I was when I joined the City in 2014, and can only hope that more of you get to experience what it’s like inside City Hall — or, get to hop on a video call with people who work in City Hall.

If you have a dream, imagination, free time, the necessary tools and knowledge, nothing will stop you from realizing what you want. Apparently this is what the British inventor who dreamed of flying was guided by. The enthusiast assembled his own drone called “Roy”, equipping it with 54 propellers controlled via six channels. The device of unusual design was able to fly with the pilot to a height of about 4.5 meters, with a total weight of 148 kg (pilot plus drone). As stated by the \land is 164 kg. So far, however, the inventor cannot boast of long flights over long distances. But the Briton does not intend to stop there.

In Hannah McGregor’s history of publishing class, we often talked about how new technology doesn’t “kill” old technology, that they can in fact live alongside one another. Spotify exists, so do record players, both are forms of listening to music, both offer different experiences and both are great. There’s this fear with digital reading that the print book will become obsolete, a fear that it will disappear. On top of that there’s this added fear of the new technology. It’s a habit we humans have. When Gutenberg’s print book was “invented” they called it witchcraft and lamented for the handwritten books of the scribes. When the handwritten book was “invented” they mourned the loss of the scroll. When people started writing stories down Socrates said it would melt our brains and we’d never be able to remember anything anymore… that oral storytelling was the way to go. My point is, “reading” (storytelling) is an ever changing form, that all forms past and present count, and no form is more “pure” than the rest. I also argue it’s more important to look at it as storytelling instead of reading and that it’s our thirst for an entertaining narrative that spurs innovation. When reading online I tend to have a difficult time settling into a longer reading, and am instead used to skimming for pertinent information. Even when I’m interested in what I’m reading, I find myself wanting to skip forward and get to the point. It’s only when I force myself to slow down and focus (hypothes.is helps accomplish this) that I can connect with the longer form of online reading. Then again, it honestly hurts my eyes if I stare at a screen for too long (Digital Eye Strain). This is more about personal preference than anything, and I prefer print if I’m doing long form reading. Of course, online reading is good for quickly disseminating information. While there has been a rash of fake news, there’s also credible sources (NY Times, Kottke, Shatzkin etc.) out there that are able to produce reliable articles. Plus, even the longer articles are pretty short in the grand scheme of things. There’s also the ability to update information if someone is able to disprove a “fact”, or there’s at least the ability to have a conversation around it (in the comments). Aside from the standard Medium sized article (pun intended), there are micro stories (tweets and tweet threads) or lengthy, novel sized stories (fanfiction). Both have their own tone, and allow for different levels of detail and expression. Technology doesn’t limit the stories we can tell, it allows us to be even more innovative than before. From Twinscapes to Twitter, humans enjoy sharing narratives and are hungry for them in any form they present themselves. Some forms work better for some people than others for a variety of reasons. Audio books (oral narrative) work better for people who want to multi-task or enjoy the “company” of someone telling them a story. I prefer print books because they don’t strain my eyes and force me to focus more on the narrative. Other people prefer ebooks because they’re cheap and easy. Here’s the best part, you aren’t limited to one form or the other, you can enjoy all forms of narrative as many people do.

Would you like to learn a language in a way that is structured to the way you would like to be taught? Are you a beginner, intermediate or advanced level student? Do you want to focus on vocabulary, grammar, conversation, business or day-to-day useful tools? If you answered "yes" to at least one of these questions, then you are in the right place. My name is Saul Siliezar, and my goal is to provide language learning in a way that is tailored to the type of student you are. With a certificate in ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera), and a strong enthusiasm for second language learning, it is my belief that students should be allowed to learn the Spanish language in a way that guides them to success and recognises each person's needs to meet their own individual goals. Whether you are looking for a few extra classes before a holiday to Spain, need to do business with Latin American countries, or even are preparing for your IB, AP, IGCSE, A'Level or Scottish Higher exams, I will aim to meet all your needs. My main goal is to make your learning a fun and beneficial experience all round, because I understand that learning a new language can be a challenge, and needs to be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. My teaching style is very much based upon the learning style of each individual student. Some of us enjoy learning through conversation or games, whilst others prefer using techniques which allow us to explore grammar or literature in more depth. Whatever method suits my students best, is the method we will be using in your lessons. During the initial class, we will establish your Spanish level, and the teaching and learning styles which you feel most comfortable with as a student. This coupled with your short, medium and long term objectives, will allow us to maximise this teaching and learning opportunity. Self-employed Tutor responsible for teaching students from all over the world both online and face-to-face, in an individualized way, in which I analyze the need for learning with each person and differentiate these needs in the lessons taught. Throughout this process, I evaluate the progress in the medium, short and long term to ensure that each individual is gaining the most from the time we work together. 2015 - 0 Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala Working with individuals both face-to-face and online to help them improve their Spanish language skills and proficiency.

Kanchanaburi (Thailand) – August 25, 2016 (travelindex) – The small town of Kanchanaburi is well off the radar of most visitors to Thailand, yet offers a fascinating combination of rural charm and history. If your idea of a holiday is spending all day, every day on the beach in Phuket, Pattaya or Koh Samui, turn the page right now. Kanchanaburi is a destination for those who want to add an element of exploration to their relaxation. The perfect base from which to explore this fascinating region 130km west of Bangkok is the Felix River Kwai Resort – overlooking both the peaceful river and the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai. Once a Sheraton and then a Novotel, this is resort with real allure; peaceful and authentic with a lot of Thai guests. The Australians who do visit mainly come to see the bridge, to take a drive out to Hellfire Pass, to take in the several war cemeteries and museums, as well as many temples. The town’s location at the edge of a mountain range keeps it much cooler than the other provinces of central Thailand. Other local attractions include taking rustic local trains through remote countryside; Wat Tham Phu Wa, a temple which features a series of grotto shrines within a large limestone cave system, and several elephant sanctuaries. Thankfully, a temple at which visitors could pose with drugged tigers was recently closed down. Kanchanaburi was under Japanese control during World War II and Asian labourers and Allied Prisoners of War, many Australians, were forced into building the infamous Burma Railway, including the bridge and Hellfire Pass, around an hour’s drive away. Almost half of the prisoners working on the project died from disease, maltreatment or accidents. At Kanchanaburi, there are a memorial and two museums to commemorate the dead, as well as two immaculately-tended war cemeteries. In both the hotel and the region, you get a sense of the real Thailand. The food is not dumbed down for visitors and many of the locals have barely a word of English. At the lively Kanchanaburi night markets, pointing can be a very effective means of communication. The hotel, from which you can walk across the bridge into town, has 255 rooms and suites, all with private balconies, as well as a Log Cabin retreat for celebrity visitors. There are two large and very clean swimming pools, expansive gardens, and a walkway along the river, streams running through the gardens that are home to some huge carp and two tennis courts. There are spa and fitness facilities, bicycles and canoes for hire and large rafts that serve dinner on the river at the weekend. The more adventure-minded can pick up a long tail boat and cruise along the river to one of many floating restaurants. With many of the Felix guests locals attending midweek conferences, the food is flavoursome and well-priced – and there is also an upmarket Chinese restaurant on-site, as well as a pool bar, karaoke bar and cocktail lounge. It is a delightful, if a little dated, place in which to wind down for a few days and the friendliness of the staff is infectious. Very spacious rooms start on-line from around $90 a night – decent value.

Muttiah Muralitharan, the most successful bowler in Test history, identifies the moments that made him in a chat with Ed Davis. Introduction by Roshan Gede. A magician, a match-winner, and above all else, the all-time leading Test wicket-taker – Muttiah Muralitharan is one of the greatest to have graced the game. With 800 scalps in Tests and 534 in ODIs, Murali is, by a distance, the leading-wicket taker in the longer versions of the international game. Add to it his 13 T20I scalps, he’s taken a staggering 1,347 wickets in international cricket – that’s 346 clear of the next highest, Shane Warne. Murali’s brilliance with the ball is akin to that of Sachin Tendulkar’s with the willow. His impact, though, was much beyond numbers. At 24, he was a key member of Sri Lanka’s World Cup-winning side in 1996. Then, 15 years later, in his last international tournament, he led Sri Lanka’s charge to the final at the 2011 World Cup, taking 15 wickets at 19.40. In Tests, he was Sri Lanka’s go-to man during the Nineties and the Noughties, starring in some of Sri Lanka’s most famous wins. Arguably the most remarkable among those came at The Oval in 1998, where he bagged 16 wickets to set up a 10-wicket win for Sri Lanka, an important victory that elevated their Test status. His magnificent career was, unfortunately, punctuated with a few controversies, with suspicion over his bowling action. He was infamously no-balled for throwing by Darrel Hair at the MCG in 1995, and nearly a decade later, was banned from bowling the doosra. That, however, failed to deter his impact with the ball. Fittingly, he signed off with a wicket off his final delivery in Test cricket – against India at Galle in 2010, which made him the first ever bowler to claim 800 Test wickets. It’s a feat that is seemingly beyond anyone’s reach. The legendary cricketer picks his top ten moments. 127 wickets in a 14-game season | 1990/91 I took up cricket at the age of eight, but at first I was just a medium-pacer – I was definitely not quick! I took up off-spin at the suggestion of my coach Sunil Fernando while I was at St Anthony’s College in Kandy, and it quickly became obvious I was much better at spinning the ball than trying to bowl fast! I took five-fer in my first game as a spinner and never looked back – in my last full season at St Anthony’s I took more than 100 wickets in just 14 games. Meeting the team 6-48 | Sri Lanka Invitational XI v England A, 1991 As I was enjoying so much success in schoolboy cricket, the selectors invited me to play in a two-day friendly against England A, who were touring Sri Lanka that winter. It was a strong side that included Graham Thorpe and Nasser Hussain, but the batsman who stood out for them was Mark Ramprakash – he was in great form and looked a class apart. I bowled really well – the ball came out nicely and I got it to spin big and bounce – and ended up taking six wickets. That was enough for the selectors to take me on the 1991 tour to England, where I played a few games and bowled at our batsmen a lot in the nets. That really accelerated my development – I improved so much as a player by going on that tour. 5-64 | New Zealand v Sri Lanka, First Test, Napier, 1995 I made my international debut in 1992 and had already taken some five-fers, but this one sticks out because it helped us to Sri Lanka’s first Test series win overseas. [Chaminda] Vaas bowled really well throughout the game and ended up taking 10 wickets in the match, while I took five of New Zealand’s top seven’s wickets in the second innings on a pitch that wasn’t really helpful for spinners. It was a great feeling. 1-124 | Australia v Sri Lanka, Second Test, Melbourne, 1995 A game that I don’t remember fondly but one that helped make me the man I am today. Darrell Hair started no-balling me – I think it was something like seven times in three overs – and I just remember feeling shocked that people could think I was cheating – nothing could have been further from my mind. I thought about walking away from cricket, but thanks to the support of my family, friends and teammates I came back a more resilient person. The ICC cleared my action, I always did everything asked of me, and I know I always played the game the right way. World Cup wonder 1-28 | Sri Lanka v Australia, World Cup Final, Colombo, 1996 Winning the World Cup was amazing. I don’t think Sri Lankan cricket would be as strong as it is now if we hadn’t won that tournament – it inspired a generation. I only took one wicket in the final – Darren Lehmann out stumped – but I was the most economical bowler in the match and that helped us build pressure on the Australian batsmen, and they ended up succumbing. Easily one of my proudest moments on the pitch. 7-155 & 9-65 | England v Sri Lanka, Only Test, The Oval, 1998 A special win. England thought they had batted themselves into a great position after scoring 445, but Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva batted brilliantly, scoring their runs quickly and tiring England out in the field. By the time I came to bowl in the second innings the pitch was quite dry and offering bounce, so I knew I was in with a chance. I bowled nicely, really accurately, and England just didn’t seem to know how they wanted to play me. Getting 16 wickets in the match was an amazing feeling – I still shake my head when I think about it. Call him the red rose 7-44 & 7-73 | Lancashire v Warwickshire, County Championship, 1999 Lancashire signed me for the season after that match at The Oval. I didn’t get to bowl in my first Championship game because of rain, but in my second game I got 14 wickets and I finished that season with 66 first-class wickets at just 11.77. I learned so much playing county cricket, it helped round me out as a bowler and I look back on my time with Lancashire very fondly – I made a lot of friends at the club, especially Andrew Flintoff – I just wish we could have turned some of those second places into more silverware! 7-30 | India v Sri Lanka, Sixth ODI, Sharjah, 2000 My most successful ODI performance came against India at Sharjah. Against a really good batting line-up that included Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh, I took seven wickets while keeping the runs tight. We’d racked up a big score in our first innings so India had to come out all guns blazing, but I backed myself and ended up with what were the best ODI figures for quite a while. We are the champions 3-16 | Chennai Super Kings v Warriors, Champions League Final, 2010 A proud moment. The Warriors had been playing some great cricket in the run up to the Champions League final and were obviously confident. But we were a very good team, the best Twenty20 side in the world according to a lot of experts and pundits, and we were determined to prove them right. The Warriors won the toss and decided to bat, but we bowled very economically and kept them under pressure throughout. That’s the key in Twenty20, if you keep the scoring rate down batsmen are forced to go for shots they normally wouldn’t and get themselves out. The perfect ending 5-63 & 3-128 | Sri Lanka v India, First Test, Galle, 2010 What a moment this was. pic.twitter.com/jkUG1WVUwf — Wisden (@WisdenCricket) April 17, 2020 The obvious one! I entered the match knowing I needed eight wickets to finish with 800 Test wickets, but I also knew I was up against a fantastic India batting line-up – Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dravid, Laxman, Gambhir and Dhoni don’t just give their wickets away – so I couldn’t have scripted it any better. It was one of those days where I just felt good from the first ball – I can’t really think of a time when I bowled much better – my control was good, I was getting the ball to turn, so I knew I just needed to be patient and my opportunities would come. It wasn’t just about me though, it was about the team – I wanted to win my final Test more than I wanted 800 wickets and I was telling [Kumar] Sangakkara to get a wicket any way he could! But it was a great moment when that final wicket fell, one of the greatest of my life. First published in 2012

What's more, He sent His Son to demonstrate true love, forgiveness and grace.

Site has converted ok. They are promoting on television, which is good. - Quibids.com – The quibids affiliate program is not accepting affiliates and they do not seem to be accepting affiliates at this time. Perhaps after one of their affiliates used ijustine’s photoin one of their advertorials and they received a ton of emails about it they decided to be very selective with their affiliate program. Bidcactus.com direct signup– This site sucks ass. I sent them a ton of clicks and never received one conversion. A total joke.

What is an Affiliate Program? Essentially an affiliate program is a ‘revved up refer a friend program’. I say revved up because it is designed to attract professional marketers to promote their product for a commission. The vendor (the penny auction site) pays affiliates whenever a sale is made or in some cases whenever a new user registers at a site. Affiliates are essentially commissioned only sales reps. Virtually every major industry and major company includes affiliate programs in their marketing efforts because it is a cost effective way to market your product and service. It is free to sign up for any affiliate programs (or it certainly should be, if an affiliate program tries to charge you to sign up to promote them, then something is wrong.). Some sites offer direct affiliate programs while others are only offered through affiliate networks like cj, shareasale, pepperjam or linkshare. Some sites offer multiple choices in order to attract the most affiliates. There are good affiliate programs and there are bad ones. This is especially true in the penny auction world where it is important that you work with trusted penny auction sites both on the player side and the affiliate side. It is also important that you understand that as an affiliate you are not paid until you generate real sales. Real sales means that the sale has to be genuine and not just a way you have figured out to try and get a maximum discount by purchasing things. Do not sign up for an affiliate program and refer yourself and expect to be paid the affiliate commissions. It does not work that way and these sites do audits and checks on your account. What is the best penny auction affiliate program to promote? In our experience there is a clear front runner in the best penny auction affiliate program. Click here and sign up at our top rated penny auction site and lock in the top tier above advertised affiliate rate. Thank me later!

by Jen McManus Since last fall, BOMA members have had the opportunity, via technology, to gather with other instructors across the country and beyond. Many of our teachers are the only NFP instructors for miles around, and it can be difficult to find other teachers that they can discuss the topic of NFP with. I was one of those teachers who didn't know anyone else besides the three people who were with me during the teacher training. Knowing this and knowing that other teachers were in the same predicament as myself, I approached the BOMA Board with the idea of starting something that could bridge this gap. Not only did we all agree this would be a wonderful opportunity for our membership, but we knew that we wanted something that fed our membership regularly and kept us all energized. Hence, the Billings Fellowship Hour was born. One of these meetings was themed, "Getting the Word Out." We discussed getting information to parishes, diocese, seminarians, and other church-related groups as well as how to be thankful to our priests who have allowed us to use parish space. We discussed the use of media, in particular, the two movies that are available to us through the BOMA website entitled "The Sexual Revolution" and "Unprotected." While speaking with others at this virtual fellowship meeting, some colleagues described their experience at Catholic conferences. After talking about this, we discussed how we all wished and hoped for more and better communications through our parishes, as well as how we could spread the word outside this select group. One of our supervisors shared she had success at the local Grange. Another teacher wondered about getting out to the IVF crowd. We bounced ideas around about getting involved in the natural living movement and where one might advertise or offer a class at an organic farmers conference or other types of events. We learned what ideas were successful, as well as which ones were not. We also discussed how we had not tried some ideas and wondered if other members had success with those ideas. The next meeting was in Spanish, and I hear it was well attended with a very lively conversation. I wish I could speak Spanish. It would be nice to figure out how to subtitle or do something soon so English speakers can attend or watch a recording of a Spanish meeting and visa versa since we want all to be included. Our first meeting even had a Billings teacher join us from near Russia! In April, our theme was social distancing and distance teaching. At this meeting, we had present the chair of the education subcommittee. We were able to review the protocol of teaching remotely and where to find that information for further review. We discussed the difficulties and advantages of Skype, Zoom, and Face Time as examples. It seemed to be about double the attendees at this meeting than the first, so there were more experiences and helpful tips, especially for me, who is NOT tech-savvy. I, for one, feel better about it after this meeting. Humble Pie was the theme of our most recent gathering. Several seasoned teachers were reminding us never to be embarrassed to ask the simple questions. These great ladies did not have supervisors when they were new teachers in the early years when our supervision system was not yet developed. They stressed how good and essential it is to keep in contact with supervisors. We listened to anecdotes about charting with funny words and how to figure it all out. We also talked about always asking questions and never to take a chart at face value. Asking questions like "What do you mean by XYZ?" or "Was it different or mostly the same?" are good questions to ask. All of this helps us to remember we are empowering women and couples with education about how God wonderfully made them. We had some die-hard teachers on this call that several of us stuck around an extra hour talking about virtual conferences and taking advantage of Joy Defelice, R.N.'s information about the Light Factor. You cannot put all this into a report, nor can you replicate the community building of being at these live meetings. With this being said, if you are interested in becoming a BOMA member, we'd love for you to join us and share your needed insights. If you are a member, we'd love to have you join us for our next (free for members) Billings Fellowship Hour! BOMA-USA provides education and training for The Billings Ovulation Method® which is a natural method of fertility management that teaches you to recognize the body's natural signs of fertility.

Windows users in no hurry to change, poll suggests Windows 8 runs up against reluctance to change, upgrade Microsoft bills Windows 8 as a "re-imagining" of the personal computer market's dominant operating system, but the company still has a lot of work to do before the makeover captures the imagination of most consumers, based on the results of a recent poll by The Associated Press and GfK. The phone survey of nearly 1,200 adults in the U.S. found 52 per cent hadn't even heard of Windows 8 leading up to Friday's release of the redesigned software. Among the people who knew something about the new operating system, 61 per cent had little or no interest in buying a new laptop or desktop computer running on Windows 8, according to the poll. And only about a third of the people who've heard about the new system believe it will be an improvement (35 per cent). Chris Dionne of Waterbury, Connecticut, falls into that camp. The 43-year-old engineer had already seen Windows 8 and it didn't persuade him to abandon or upgrade his Hewlett-Packard laptop running on Windows 7, the previous version of the operating system released in 2009. "I am not real thrilled they are changing things around," Dionne said. "Windows 7 does everything I want it to. Where is the return on my investment to learn a new OS?" Microsoft usually releases a new version of Windows every two or three years, but it's different this time around. Windows 8 is the most radical redesign of the operating system since 1995 and some analysts consider the software to be Microsoft's most important product since co-founder Bill Gates won the contract to build an operating system for IBM Corp.'s first personal computer in 1981. Microsoft is hoping the way Windows 8 looks and operates will appeal to the growing number of people embracing the convenience of smartphones and tablets. The consumer ambivalence, however, was even more pronounced when it came to Microsoft's new tablet computer, Surface, which was built to show off Windows 8's versatility. Sixty-nine per cent of the poll's respondents expressed little or no interest in buying a Surface, which Microsoft is hoping will siphon sales from Apple Inc.'s pioneering iPad and other popular tablets such as Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire and Google Inc.'s Nexus 7. The results indicate Microsoft still has work to do to create a bigger buzz about Windows 8 and help consumers understand the new operating system's benefits, even though the company provided several previews of the software at various stages in the final 13 month leading to its release. But the information apparently resonated mostly with industry analysts, reporters, technology blogs and gadget geeks. Microsoft is in the early stages of an estimated $1 billion marketing campaign that will include a siege of television commercials to promote Windows 8 to a wider audience. Wish you could go back That still might not be enough to sway longtime Windows users such as Mary Sweeten. She is 75, and not eager to learn the nuances of a new operating system. She, too, is comfortable with her current desktop computer running on Windows 7. "I am not technologically savvy like all these young kids," said Sweeten, who lives in Camdenton, Missouri. "I like something I am used to and can get around on without too much trouble. Sometimes when you get these new (systems), you wish you could go back to the old one." Windows 8 represents Microsoft's attempt to adapt to a technological shift that is empowering more people to use smartphones and tablets to surf the Web and handle other simple computing tasks. The revamped system can be controlled by touching a device's display screen and greets users with a mosaic of tiles featuring an array of dynamic applications instead of the old start menu and desktop tiles. In an effort to protect its still-lucrative PC franchise, Microsoft designed Windows 8 so it can still be switched into a desktop mode that relies on a keyboard and mouse for commands. Microsoft felt it had to gamble on a radical redesign to fend off the competitive threats posed by Apple, which has emerged as the world's most valuable company on the strength of its iPhone and iPad. Google Inc. is a threat, too. It has used its 4-year-old Android operating system to become an influential force in the mobile computing movement. Microsoft deeply entrenched Despite the growing popularity of smartphones, Microsoft remains deeply entrenched in people's lives. The poll found 80 per cent of respondents with personal computers in their homes relied on earlier versions of Windows versus only 12 per cent that operate on Apple's Mac system. Windows is even more widely used in offices, but 90 per cent of companies relying on the operating system are expected to hold off on switching to the new operating system through 2014, according to a study by the research firm Gartner Inc. Jim Beske of West Fargo, North Dakota, won't be waiting long to install Windows 8 on the home computer he bought a year ago. He already has seen how Windows 8 works in his job as a network engineer, and he considers it to be a nice improvement. "They have made it much simpler," Beske, 43, said. "I don't know about the tiling so much; that's something I think younger people will like more. But once people get in front of it, I think they will understand it." Windows 8 also could appeal to consumers who still don't own a home computer. The AP-GfK survey found 22 per cent of all adults fall into this category, including 30 per cent with households whose incomes fall below $50,000 annually. Beske is among a growing group who use both Microsoft and Apple products. Besides his Windows computer, he also loves his iPad. No hurry to upgrade Most survey respondents liked both Apple and Microsoft. Fifty-nine per cent said they had favourable impressions of Apple versus 58 per cent for Microsoft. Tequila Cronk of Herington, Kansas, is more of a Microsoft fan because she considers Apple's prices to be a "rip-off." At the same time, she can't justify buying a Windows 8 computer when her desktop and laptop computers at home are running fine on the earlier versions of the system. "We will upgrade, but I am not going to rush out and buy a new computer just because it's got a different operating system," Cronk, 26, said. Windows 8's release came at a perfect time for Hector Gonzalez of Kissimmee, Florida. He is so frustrated with the performance of his 3-year-old laptop running on Windows 7 that he is considering buying a MacBook laptop. But now he plans to check out the array of new Windows 8 laptops and may even consider buying a Surface tablet to supplement the iPad that he bought for his teenage daughters. "Anything that is new, it's worth taking a look at," Gonzalez, 35, said. "That's the way technology is. There is always something new to replace everything else."

VERNON — Two men posing as Connecticut Water Company workers distracted a Vernon couple Wednesday while an accomplice stole several thousand dollars worth of jewelry and cash, police said. It was the latest of several reports this week of suspicious people posing as water utility workers. Both the Metropolitan District (MDC) — the regional water and sewer agency — and Manchester officials issued statements Wednesday advising residents to be cautious of individuals trying to enter homes under the guise of working for a water agency. A person claiming to be from the MDC tried to get into a West Hartford home in the Cumberland Road area, and two people claiming who also claimed to be MDC workers tried to gain access to an East Hartford home, according to the agency. In Manchester on Wednesday, two people asked to enter a home on Pine Street, claiming they needed to run the water and check the meter, police said. A resident stayed with the pair while they were inside and it does not appear that any other crime occurred, police said. In the Vernon case, residents called police to their Grove Street home at about 5 p.m., after realizing they had been burglarized. Two men had claimed they worked for the Connecticut Water and were there for plumbing repairs. A man who lives in the house brought one of the men into a bathroom, while a female resident accompanied the other man to the basement. Police say that’s when a third person snuck into the house and stole cash and jewelry from dresser drawers. Neighbors reported seeing a gray or silver SUV or minivan leaving the house and heading south on Grove Street toward Hartford Turnpike, or Route 30, and I-84. Police retrieved an mage of the van from a neighbor’s surveillance camera. Residents should ask for identification if they have any doubt that a person actually works for a utility, officials said. Manchester residents should be aware that town water department employees, absent an emergency, usually make an appointment to visit a house, General Manager Scott Shanley said. Also, town water employees drive vehicles bearing a town of Manchester seal, or have “MA” at the end of the license plate number. Residents can call 860-647-3201, or 860-647-0311 to confirm employee information. Breaking News Newsletter As it happens Get the latest updates on Coronavirus and other breaking news events happening across Connecticut The MDC urged all residents, especially those who are home during the day, to be alert for impostors. Agency field employees carry photo ID badges and wear clothing and drive vehicles clearly marked with the MDC logo. Also, the agency encourages customers to stay in their homes while asking for identification from anyone who comes to the door. “If someone comes to your door claiming to be from the water company and you do not have a previously scheduled appointment, do not allow access to your home until calling the MDC Command Center at 860- 278-7850 and press 1 to verify their identity,” the release said. “If you have any doubt about the individual’s identity or motives, or the authenticity of their credentials, do not allow them into your home and call the police.” The men in the Vernon theft were both white. One was older, about 5-foot-7 and 200 pounds, and was wearing black sunglasses, a dark blue jacket, a blue baseball hat, dark blue pants and dark brown sneakers. Police had no specific description of the other man who posed as a worker, and the third thief was never seen. Anyone who may have information is asked to call Vernon police at 860-872-9126. Callers may remain anonymous, police said. Christine Dempsey can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.

The whole team is great. I have been a patient of Summit Dental for over 20 years. My dental hygienist, Amy, has been taking care of my teeth all this time. I would definitely recommend this practice to people of all ages. This is only my 3rd cleaning with Dr. Grossman and his team - and I couldn't be happier. Instead of walking away feeling relieved to have another appt behind me...I came away feeling like I can't wait to try some of the suggestions for improving my dental hygiene. In just a little over a year, I've noted a significant improvement in the sensitivity of my teeth and learned not only how but where to focus my efforts.

|Lullaby Warmer--Courtesy of GE Healthcare| GE Healthcare ($GE) has staked a major claim in a field that's not well tended--the development of affordable medical technologies to improve health outcomes in the emerging markets. It's creating a devoted business called Sustainable Healthcare Solutions out of a combination of its operations in India, South Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia dedicated to serving 70 markets--and investing $300 million to back the effort. Industrial conglomerate GE has been looking for a way to boost its healthcare business. Last year, it brought in former business development head John Flannery to lead the group. Earlier this month, he offered an overview of the changes needed at GE Healthcare to generate sales growth and expand profit margins in this $18 billion group that's been treading water for years. GE Healthcare accounts for roughly 16% of parent company revenues. In a speech last week, Flannery emphasized the role of the emerging markets in boosting GE Healthcare. He noted that it's invested heavily in India and China and that he expects growth on the order of 20%+ in this segment, driven largely by first-time GE customers who need complete solutions. Now GE Healthcare is putting its money where its mouth is and aiming to work with governments, healthcare providers, payers and non-governmental organizations via this new Sustainable Healthcare Solutions (SHS) business. The intention is to increase access to the roughly 5.8 billion people who don't get basic healthcare. It's also explicitly in support of the new 2030 Sustainable Development Goals being ratified at the UN General Assembly 2015 this week in New York. "Much of the world's population is without adequate healthcare, and innovations that can create better patient outcomes in a sustainable way are urgently needed," said Flannery in a statement. "Many emerging economies are looking for experienced partners to help build skills, capacity and effective healthcare solutions for their patients." |Vscan Access--Courtesy of GE Healthcare| The company pointed to examples such as the handheld ultrasound device Vscan Access+ and Lullaby+ infant warmer as examples of products that it's already developed to address emerging markets. It noted that maternal and infant care is a particular focus and estimated the "low-cost healthcare equipment sector" as worth $8 billion annually, a figure that's only growing as developing countries increasingly invest in healthcare. "SHS will leverage GE's Fastworks methodology to accelerate, test and rapidly commercialize relevant, affordable technologies. By taking this 'start-up' model approach we can rapidly test new ideas, products and services to maximize effectiveness for customers before we scale up," said Terri Bresenham, President and CEO of GE Healthcare's SHS unit. "From basic primary care delivery through to more complex, structural healthcare challenges, SHS will aim to combine GE Healthcare's capabilities and scale with the local know-how and expertise of our partners across Africa, Southeast Asia, India and South Asia." - here is the announcement - and a blog post from GE

Single Motor or Dual Motor Standing Desk: Which One Is For You? June 10, 2020 Common sense dictates that power is the main difference between the single motor and dual motor standing desk. But a closer look reveals that there is much to it: There’s adjustment speed, load capacity, ease of assembly and maintenance, aesthetics, and cost. These are important points that must be considered before buying a height adjustable standing desk for your office. It pays to do your assignment first because a height adjustable standing desk is an investment in your home office. If you buy the right ergonomic equipment for your workstation, working from home will be a healthier and more enjoyable experience. If you are ready, continue reading the article as we dig deeper into the differences of a single motor and dual motor standing desk. The Important Pointers 1. Adjustment Speed and Load Capacity -- Speed and capacity can vary according to the material and overall makeup of a standing desk. Some brands offer a wide portfolio of products such as FlexiSpot with its signature Loctek Motion frames. This means that whether you opt for a single motor or dual motor standing desk, you will still enjoy the perks of having a superior ergonomic product in your office. But for the sake of numbers, let’s do a comparison. FlexiSpot’s single motor desk can adjust 1 inch per second while the speed of a dual motor frame can be 1.3, 1.5, or up to as much as 3.15 inches per second. As for the weight capacity, the single motor supports up to 154 pounds, while the various dual motor models can lift things that weigh 176 to 220 and up to 275 pounds. But wait -- here’s a plot twist. This might surprise you. While it may seem that the dual motor standing desk frame looks like the clear winner in terms of numbers, the single motor models showed high consistency. This means that after placing larger and larger amounts of weight on the desk, the single motor’s lifting speed stayed relatively similar throughout. On the flip side, some dual motor models did not disappoint. The dual motor frames that did offer better consistency were better suited for lifting loads that meet and sometimes even exceed the manufacturer’s stated capacity. In general, dual motor frames are the best fit for users who tend to have more items and higher weight loads on their desks. 2. Assembly and Maintenance Okay, so you are a one-man team now that you stay in your house to work. The assembly part then becomes tricky because precision is essential in the assembly process. If you opt for dual motor desks, this would leave less room for error because each leg has its own built-in motor. Single motor standing desks require the alignment of a hex rod from the shared motor to each leg. Now, if that sounds complicated, you might just opt for the dual motor. But consider this fact: While two motors offer greater power, this also means double chances to fail. By any chance that one of the motors of the unit is a lemon, this can result in an uneven adjustment. Before buying, ask for the brand’s warranty and maintenance services since there is no designated workplace expert to help you out. Unless, of course, you find joy in doing DIY projects. If you have a penchant for design, you might want to think hard and long on this pointer. A dual motor standing desk’s motors are somewhat hidden within rectangular boxes located above each leg column, while the motor or motor cover in a single motor sticks out. Instead of using one larger and more powerful motor, dual motor frames use two smaller motors so that they can fit within the width of the leg. Because of its sleek appearance, most people find a dual motor frame more aesthetically pleasing. By and large, modern standing desks are now more aesthetically pleasing than their predecessors. Even if you go for a single motor or dual motor, you can make them work double-time as a functional and beautiful addition to your home office. Look at this FlexiSpot single motor model and dual motor unit to know what we are talking about. 4. Price Tag It would not be surprising to know that a single motor standing desk frame is more affordable than a dual motor frame. If you are thinking about the cost repairs once the desks are past the warranty period, note that single external motors are easier to replace if needed as they’re more accessible. The Final Say There you have it -- a detailed comparative analysis to help you take your pick. With FlexiSpot’s warranty and commitment to the utmost quality, you cannot go wrong with whatever you decide to purchase. The choice is yours to make now. We accept articles, stories, and reviews that feature our products. The topics can also include tips on posture, spine health, and how to create a healthy work-from-home setup.

HUNDREDS of concerned people packed into Parkview Centre for the Community on Thursday (June 13) to hear about the £250 million Sheerwater regeneration plans. Residents were hit with the news last week that their homes could be pulled down to make way for 1,000 newer properties along with community and leisure facilities. Those in attendance were greeted by large display boards detailing the process and maps of the area to be developed, produced by New Vision Homes. Many tenants face the possibility of being moved out if their property is chosen for demolition, causing concern among many long-term Sheerwater families. Reema and Resham Gauchan, who live in Wakehurst Path, were not against the plan but did not want to see their house included and were concerned about moving their two children away from schools. Mrs Gauchan said: “The plan is good, we’re not against the plan to develop but the designated area could be better. "We are settled here and don’t want to move.” May Hooks has lived in Sheerwater for almost 50 years. She said: “I am happy here, we have good neighbours and have no trouble but it needs to be brought back to what it used to be.” Margaret Gower, of Devonshire Avenue, has lived in the area for 40 years and was concerned about where the displaced people would be moved to. She said: “I think we do need to redevelop the area, when it was built it was a wonderful thing. “The biggest problem is what will happen to those people if we send them off to wherever? A lot of people rely on neighbours for their support. “It is really very worrying for everybody – they do not know if they are going to have their homes knocked down.” Trevor Crook, of Dartmouth Avenue, was not convinced some of the improvements such as the leisure centre were needed, given the recent investment and proximity to Woking Leisure Centre and Pool in the Park. Mr Crook added: “We will see what impact we have. There is nothing really here to say ‘we are putting this there and that there’. “I would like to know what the houses look like.” A new surgery and health centre also form part of the initial ‘vision.’ 'Better accommodation, better health' Dr Munira Mohamed has been a GP at Sheerwater Health Centre for 14 years. She said: “Is the health centre going to be replaced? I want to know how soon it is going to happen because we are so short of space. "I think the project is going to have a positive impact on patients. If accommodation is better, health is better.” Lauren Dodson, of Albert Drive, said she had given suggestions to New Vision Homes on how best to satisfy the needs of residents, such as safe play areas and elderly housing zones. She said: “It needs to be tailored to suit everybody’s needs. I am for progress without a doubt, but not to the detriment of people who live on the estate.” Residents were able to put their names down and sign up to be part of the Sheerwater Steering Group. New Vision Homes will create a team consisting of a cross section of the community to hold further meetings during the two-year ‘masterplanning’ phase. Chris Le May, project director for New Vision Homes, said: “I have not seen such great interest so quickly before. "The scheme has so far been received positively. People have got a lot of questions.”

Many news outlets declared 2014 to be “The Year of the Breach,” especially for government. The title seems appropriate. Last year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the State Department, and even the White House fell victim to successful hacks that resulted in sensitive information being exposed to adversaries and the public. And that’s just the beginning. Nearly every state experienced a government network breach during 2014, while simultaneously managing disruptions in commerce caused by hacks of companies such as Home Depot, Staples, and Target. Even localities were not exempt — Rapid City, N.D., and Napa, Calif., are just two cities whose websites were hacked. Nevertheless, maybe we should reconsider that title and be a little more optimistic. Instead of “Year of the Breach,” can we consider 2014 to be the “Year of Lessons”? Maybe the “Year of Progress”? While government-at-large certainly faced setbacks in the cyber world, many agencies also took great steps toward security. At the federal level, commitments were made and plans drawn to better equip smaller entities with the resources and strategies necessary to protect their networks. Locally, many organizations created new partnerships and streamlined their internal systems to achieve greater security at less cost. This guide explores how local, state, and federal governments have learned from successful attacks of the past to bolster their cybersecurity today. In this guide, we: - Describe the level and impact of advanced cyberattacks on government agencies. - Discuss five cybersecurity tactics that the public sector has deployed to mitigate risk. - Provide two case studies from government to illustrate each tactic in action. - Detail lessons learned from these government tactics. The numerous cyber incidents of last year prove there is still more government must do to secure our nation’s networks. However, the case studies in this guide highlight that innovators in the public sector are already leading the way to enhanced cybersecurity.

An Earth-like planet is orbiting the sun closest to ours, scientists announced Wednesday. The planet, called “Proxima b,” orbits a star called “Proxima Centauri” and has a temperature that would allow liquid water to exist there, according to a statement released Wednesday by the European Southern Observatory. That means the world is possibly habitable, but scientists don’t know yet whether there’s anything living there. “This rocky world is a little more massive than the Earth and is the closest exoplanet to us ― and it may also be the closest possible abode for life outside the solar system,” ESO said. Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star, lies just 4.25 light-years away from Earth. While that’s pretty far away by astronomical distances, it’s just a drop in the cosmic bucket. Other Earth-like exoplanets that have been discovered are much farther away from Earth, which makes the revelation of Proxima b more exciting. Earlier this year, researchers in Chile looked at Proxima Centauri using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher, or HARPS, a high-resolution instrument that specializes in the search for extrasolar planets. They were searching for a wobble in the star that would indicate the gravitational tug of a potential orbiting planet. What they found amazed them. “The first hints of a possible planet were spotted back in 2013, but the detection was not convincing,” Guillem Anglada-Escude of Queen Mary University in London, who led the Chile team, said in the ESO statement. This year, the team checked every day during the 60 nights of their scans of Proxima Centauri. “The first 10 were promising, the first 20 were consistent with expectations, and at 30 days, the result was pretty much definitive, so we started drafting the paper!” he said. The researchers will publish their scientific paper detailing the astronomical finding on Aug. 25 in the journal Nature. The following video is an imagined fly-through of the Proxima Centauri system: Video Credit: PHL @ UPR Arecibo, ESO Music by Lyford Rome Proxima b is about 1.3 times bigger than Earth and orbits its parent sun approximately every 11 days. It’s a lot closer to its star than we are ― just 5 percent of our Earth-Sun distance, according to ESO. Astronomers say that Proxima b is orbiting in a habitable zone, meaning the planet’s surface temperature could promote the presence of liquid water. But that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s any life there. Radiation from the red dwarf star could cause a much different climate on Proxima b than we have on Earth. The discovery and confirmation of the planet now begins a more extensive exploration of our very close ― cosmically speaking ― neighbor. And that means the planet will become a major target in the search for life elsewhere. “Many exoplanets have been found and many more will be found, but searching for the closest potential Earth-analogue and succeeding has been the experience of a lifetime for all of us,” said Anglada-Escude. “Many people’s stories and efforts have converged on this discovery. The result is also a tribute to all of them. The search for life on Proxima b comes next.”

Industry software for petroleum engineersChemical, process and petroleum engineering students benefit from the detailed instruction they receive on industry-standard software packages In most oil companies worldwide the petroleum engineering broadly concentrates on maximising cost-effective production from the field. A number of core software programmes are part of its daily routine to assess this effectiveness and efficiency of oil and gas production. Students on these subject areas at LSBU benefit from detailed instruction on a suite of industry-standard software packages. This instils a level of professional competency that industry employers immediately recognise and value. Thank you to our sponsors Petroleum Experts (Petex), UK has donated 10 licenses of the IPM software suite, equivalent to £1,072,970.00 to London South Bank University. Industry relevant skills First year chemical and petroleum students start practising on HYSIS, as this introductory software that builds up their core skills of data collection, defining the boundaries of probability and testing data sensitivities. The second year students have access to Prosper and Gap through a dedicated computer suite reserved for the subject area. The software is used extensively in second year projects. Final year undergraduate students have the opportunity to develop skills in Petrel and Eclipse, especially in relation to their design/test extended project, which makes up part of their overall course grades. The MSc Petroleum students receive detailed instruction in all of the software and use it throughout their two semesters of taught classes. Many students opt to use their favourite software in their chosen dissertation project. - This software is produced by Aspen Technologies and models fluid flow and separation and is used in refinery operations or pipelines. It is a standard package for chemical and process engineers working in industry. - This industry-standard software is produced by Schlumberger and uses oil exploration data to work out the volume of a sub-surface oil or gas accumulation that is in the reservoir. - This software is produced by Schlumberger and models the movement of fluids in the oil or gas reservoir and works out what percentage of the hydrocarbons could economically be produced. - This software is produced by Petroleum Experts and looks at the design of a well to model various options available to the engineer to maximise well productivity. Options could include: putting a pump at the base of the well or a technique called gas lift (where gas is injected to help lift the liquid hydrocarbons). - GAP – produced by Petroleum Experts - This industry-standard software is used to describe the optimum method of joining wells together at surface level via pipelines to optimise the fluid flow pathways to the production station.

Apple's iPod Media Event Rumored for Mid-September Date All Things D reports that Apple's traditional iPod-focused media event may be scheduled for a mid-September date this year, slightly later than in recent years. Apple's iPod media events are traditionally held on either Tuesday or Wednesday, suggesting September 14th or 15th as possible dates. According to several sources and as has been widely expected, Apple will once again be holding its annual special event, possibly closer to mid-September this time. Apple (AAPL), which has had a fall hello-there confab every year since 2005, waited until August 31 last year to announce its "Let's Rock" event on September 9 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. Just last week, a rumor surfaced that Apple might be holding its iPod event in mid-August this year, several weeks earlier than usual. With less than six days to go before the end of that rumored timeframe and no invitations yet issued by Apple, it is appearing unlikely that the rumor is correct. As for Apple's product release plans for the media event, whenever it might take place, there is strong evidence for a refreshed iPod touch, with claims of a high-resolution Retina display and both front- and rear- facing cameras. A refreshed iPod nano is also expected, with some sources wondering if a tiny Apple-branded touch screen that surfaced last month might make its way into an iPod product of some sort. Apple may also be offer some music-related announcements such as a cloud-based streaming iTunes, although recent rumors suggest that the company is scaling back on its plans in that area and may still not be ready to make any announcements.

Full TitleA phase I and randomized phase II study of KW-0761 (Mogamulizumab) and MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) in relapsed, refractory diffuse large-B cell lymphoma (NCI 10106)(CIRB) The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of mogamulizumab that can be given with pembrolizumab immunotherapy in patients with advanced lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment. In addition, researchers will determine if the combination of these two drugs is more effective than either of the drugs alone. Mogamulizumab and pembrolizumab work by complementary mechanisms to boost the immune system’s power to find and kill cancer cells. Their combination is expected to be synergistic (an effect greater than the sum of their parts) and of particular interest in patients following CAR T-cell therapy. Patients in this study will either participate in the dose-finding portion, or be randomly assigned in the second part of the study to receive mogamulizumab/pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab alone. These medications are given intravenously (by vein). To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following: - Patients in the first part of the study must have recurrent or persistent lymphoma (any subtype). Patients in the second part of the study must have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that continued to grow despite at least two prior regimens of therapy; they must have previously received, refused, or been deemed ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation - At least 3 weeks must pass since the completion of prior therapy and entry into the study. - Patients may not have previously received immunotherapy. - Patients must be able to walk and do routine activities for more than half of their normal waking hours. - This study is for patients age 18 and older. For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Erel Joffe at 212-639-8109.

Ferguson panel recommends merging police, other changes FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The co-chairman of a reform panel formed after the Ferguson police shooting of Michael Brown said Monday that the group's report calling for police departments and municipal courts to be merged and other changes "reveals uncomfortable truths about this region we call home." Rich McClure and other Ferguson Commission members acknowledge in their 198-page report that the panel has no power to enact any of the proposals. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said he backs the recommendations and during a news conference declared: "I commit to you today that these tireless efforts will not be in vain." "Together we will lead St. Louis, our state and our country toward a brighter future of justice and opportunity for all," said the Democratic governor, who was joined by commission members at a local community college. "Where others have stepped back, Missourians have stepped up, setting an example for the rest of the nation. And we will continue to do more." The 16-member commission's report comes 10 months after Nixon appointed the panel in November. The report, with 189 "calls to action," recommends consolidating St. Louis-area police departments and municipal courts and scaling back police use of force. After Brown's death in August 2014, several police departments and courts, especially in north St. Louis County, were accused of targeting minorities. The report says mistrust from many black residents was a key factor in the unrest after the shooting. Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, was killed by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson during a confrontation. A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice declined to prosecute Wilson, who is white and has since resigned, but the shooting spurred a national "Black Lives Matter" movement and led to protests and rioting in and around Ferguson. The report says the panel heard from many black residents "who do not feel heard or respected when they interact with the police or the courts, and who do not feel that they are treated in an unbiased way." Relations with police were strained in parts of the St. Louis region before the shooting, partly because of excessive force, the report says. "The regular use of force has led many citizens to view the police as an occupying force in their neighborhoods, damaging community trust, and making community safety even more difficult," the report says. It suggests new use-of-force policies, officer training and a change in department culture. It also recommends establishment of a statewide database of use-of-force incidents and statistics. The report notes St. Louis County has 81 municipal courts and 60 municipal police departments — and recommends consolidating at least 18 of those departments into just three that would oversee different areas of north St. Louis County. The fragmentation "is not only costly and a grossly inefficient use of taxpayer resources, but more importantly presents as an impediment to justice for many of our region's citizens," the report says. The commission also recommends a statewide plan to deal with mass demonstrations. Some observers were skeptical about the value of the report. Remy Cross, a criminologist and sociologist at Webster University in suburban St. Louis, isn't optimistic that it will lead to significant change. "It's hard not to be cynical of these kinds of reports given the track record," Cross said. "They (commissioners) are really not given any authority. Everybody agrees with the report, and nothing really comes of it because no one wants to pony up the money or get down to the brass tacks of the policy changes." Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III said his community has made several changes, including installing a new police chief and municipal judge. He is concerned that the name of the commission is misleading. "One of the worst things they could have done is naming it 'The Ferguson Commission,'" Knowles said. "That's not what it's about. When you do that, it makes it real easy for other communities not feeling the pressure to ask, 'Why do we need to change? There wasn't a riot in our section of the region.'" Suhr reported from St. Louis.

I’ve been meaning to write about Towns for a while and since it fits neatly with my thoughts about ‘living’ game worlds, this seems as good a time as any. In its isometric countryside, the player takes the role of a town mayor, building up from a patch of wilderness and attracting newcomers with housing and entertainment. However, your settlement sits atop an ‘orrible dungeon so among the folks you’ll need to attract are heroes, who will need incentives to quest into the depths and fancy equipment if they are to delve deep. Majesty meets Dwarf Fortress? Play now or journey downtown for more details. Yes, it’s another game at an early stage of development but I find this one particularly intriguing. Let me namecheck something else it reminds me of: Din’s Curse. Perhaps because there’s the potential for all manner of towns that are only linked by their preposterous positioning on top of a hole in the ground that happens to be filled with evil. Development seems fairly rapid and I’ve seen plenty of progress since I started following it a few weeks ago. You can download the latest public build now and see if it seems like something worth devoting an eye to. This version, 0.35, will be the last trial version. As I understand, from here on in only those who preorder will receive new versions. Hopefully the game won’t fall foul of feature creep. The basics are sound and if future updates concentrate on passing heroes, and the systems for crafting and selling them equipment, there will be a perfectly functional simulation to tinker around with. It’s already possible to craft (and possibly find) magic items of a Diabloesque nature. It’s crucial to remember though, you’ll be handing all your fancy bits and pieces to braver men. You’re the major, not an adventurer. You’re probably rotund and further weighed down by symbols of office. In a lovely touch, the developers have even answered the question as to why the town has been built just where it is. Why is there a dungeon right where they decide to build their settlement, isn’t it kind of counter-intuitive of them to do so? Well, there was this king… oh, shut up, it’s fun! And it is already fun with the potential to become much more involving. Two long tutorial videos follow that will be a great aid to anyone wanting to play. The UI isn’t terrible by any means but it can take a while to learn. The audio recording isn’t the best so you might need to PUMP UP THE VOLUME. You might also want to boost your bass for the heavy duty explosions.

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 7:22 pm Liverpool forward Sadio Mane faces a late fitness test to be in contention for Wednesday’s English Premier League trip to Burnley after sustaining a foot injury, manager Juergen Klopp has said. Senegal international Mane suffered a cut which required several stitches during Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby, but Klopp refused on Tuesday to rule out the 26-year-old. “Sadio really had an awful cut on his foot. It needed to be stitched. He is okay but walking around here now in flip-flops — and you don’t play in flip-flops,” Klopp told reporters. “That means in this moment he is not ready, but we will see later.” Liverpool could also be without defender Andy Robertson who suffered a dead leg. “With Robbo it is not that serious as with Sadio, but we need to have a look.” Klopp also said he had accepted a Football Association charge of misconduct for his wild celebration after Divock Origi scored in the sixth minute of added time at Anfield against Everton. He had been given until Thursday to respond, but the German said he would pay the fine. “I couldn’t avoid it obviously… If there was no rule, we as managers would do it every week. “That’s what rules are for and, if you break rules, you have to be fined for it,” Klopp added. “I don’t think anyone thought it was massively wrong. It happened, a fine, I’ll pay it, no problem.” Klopp was asked about the form of forward Roberto Firmino, who has gone off the boil this season, scoring just three goals in 14 league appearances. “It’s completely normal. It’s not that he’s playing his best football in every second. You have moments when you fly and moments when you have to work and come again,” Klopp said. “Nothing to worry about. It’s a normal football season… We all have to go through this and everything will be fine.” Liverpool are second in the league with 36 points from 14 games, while Burnley are second from bottom with nine points.(Reuters/NAN)

Life has a way of making its own schedule. You may have planned on being home before dark, but then there was a work emergency or you went out with friends. You arrive home and the outside is completely dark. You know the odds of a person hiding in the dark are small, but you still approach the door with a little trepidation and more than a little fear. You hear a commotion beside you and jump as the neighborhood cat skitters away. With darkness coming earlier, you need proper lighting outside your home. Protect Your Home with Flood Lights If you leave in the country or have a large backyard, you might want to invest in either timed or motion-activated floodlights. A porch light can illuminate the porch area, but not much beyond. If you have a walk from your car to the porch, a floodlight can illuminate the way. Motion-activated lights alert you to movement outside your home. It could be a raccoon or possum or it could be an intruder looking for a way inside your home. If it is an intruder, then the lights will likely frighten them away. Watch Where You’re Going Most times the biggest danger of darkness isn’t what’s lurking in it ready to strike, but your child’s bike that they forgot to put away or a front porch step you didn’t see. Injury caused by poor visibility is common. Perhaps someone left something outside or you’re just no expecting to be so close to the home. A fall could cause minor cuts and bruises, but if you strike your head or fall on concrete the injuries can be more severe. Electrical lights can protect you from more than just critters and intruders. You don’t want to be injured and unable to get your cell phone or see your keys to open your front door. Don’t Forget About Out Buildings If you have a large property with barns our outbuildings, then lights along the route give you peace of mind and help you see where you’re going. What’s nice about electrical lighting is there are no batteries to replace. You can connect them to timers, motion detectors or a main switch that you can flip from the house or from the barn. The ground can be uneven and a hole you don’t see can cause an ankle sprain. You can keep critters and other animals at bay because they generally hate light. Walking in the pitch-black darkness, even when you know it’s safe, is also really creepy. Why deal with it if you don’t have to?

10:50 – Frances is visiting Dutch today, so Barbara and I are taking the day off to build science kits. She’s out in the den now, watching Private Practice on Netflix streaming while she tapes up bundles of wood splints. When I ordered 10 boxes of 500 splints, I figured that’d last us a long time. Now, as it turns out, it may not last out this year. Among other things, we’re putting together 57 small parts bags for the chemistry kits. We’d planned to do 60, but as it turns out we had only 57 9V batteries in stock. So I need to order a few hundred more of those. And some more wood splints. Last year at this time, I noticed while working in the unfinished area of the basement how humid it was down there. I thought about buying a dehumidifier then, but never got around to it. Barbara is running some errands this afternoon, so she’s going to stop at Lowes or Home Depot and pick one up. It’s comfortably cool down there, but the humidity must be up around 80% or 90%. 14:24 – The most recent NEO missed us, as we knew it would. Still, this one, an object somewhere between the sizes of a garbage truck and a large house, passed closer than the moon’s orbit. If you consider that earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles and the moon’s orbital diameter is about 480,000 miles, then if the moon’s orbit is the outer ring and earth the bulls-eye, that makes the diameter of the bulls-eye about 1.67% that of the entire target and the area something like 0.03%. Considering the object to be a point, that means that if you know only that a large object is going to pass inside the moon’s orbit, there’s still only a tiny probability that it will strike earth, something like 3 in 10,000. Still, given the disturbing frequency of these NEOs, we should be doing a lot more to track them and to devise and implement planetary defenses. As things stand, an object large enough to wipe out civilization may not be detected until a few weeks before impact, too late to do anything but have the party to end all parties, literally. The farther out an object can be detected, the less force must be applied to it to make it miss the planet. All that needs to be done is to change the velocity–speed, direction, or both–slightly to cause the object to miss. How the velocity changes–faster, slower, up/down, left/right–doesn’t matter. Any change is effective, as long as it’s great enough that the orbit of the object no longer intersects our own orbit when we’re at the same point the object would otherwise have been. A high-power laser impinging on such an object may alter its velocity (orbit) in one or both of two ways. First, if the object is distant enough and the laser is powerful enough, light pressure alone can be sufficient. That works even on metallic objects that don’t ablate significantly. Second, on objects that contain frozen gases, the impinging laser causes outgassing, thereby altering the orbit. I don’t see how anyone can dispute that it’s long past time that we had some serious space-based planetary-defense assets up there, including an array of nuclear-powered beam weapons. The US government currently wastes trillions of dollars on programs that are simply money down a rathole. It’s time they started investing in real infrastructure, before a planet-killer shows up. We should fund it ourselves if we must, but we should also encourage the rest of the first world to participate, both in funding it and in developing and deploying these planetary assets.

Minnesota Wild development camp started Tuesday with a familiar face. Former Wild forward Matt Hendricks was at the team’s development camp, but it wasn’t to prepare for the upcoming season. Instead, he announced his retirement from playing in the NHL. “You get to the point in your career where it starts trickling into your mind,” Hendricks said. “What’s next?” Hendricks knows what’s next, as he starts a new role as the assistant director of player development for the Wild. Hendricks was back on the ice before the position was announced, running drills with the players in the two sessions of the camp. Hendricks spent much of the first day for development camp running those drills alongside Wild coaches and trainers, trying to help the next wave of prospects get ready for the upcoming season. “It becomes more of a seamless transition (to my new role),” Hendricks said. “This is where I think I have been in my career, the last three years. I think one of the best stories about this position for me is that I spent a long time in the minors.” Hendricks will work with director of player development Brad Bombardir. Much of that job includes the annual development camp held in St. Paul that started Tuesday and will end Friday with a 3-on-3 scrimmage between two teams of prospects. Overall, his job will consist of figuring out how to develop the younger players with Bombardir. “Helping the young guys,” Hendricks said. “The prospects, keeping an eye on Iowa, in the American (Hockey) League and taking a little off of (Bombardir’s) plate.” Hendricks is quite familiar with Minnesota, having played at Blaine High School and later at St. Cloud State in the early 2000s before an 11-year NHL career that saw stops at Colorado, Washington, Nashville and before joining the Wild for the 2018-19 season. “I wanted to be around my family a little more,” Hendricks said. “The last three years or so have been hard being away a lot. Obviously, there’s still quite a bit of travel in this role and in this job, but I still don’t know which direction I want to go whether it’s going to be coaching (or) in management.” Hendricks played just 22 games in his only season with the Wild before being traded at the 2019 deadline to the Winnipeg Jets to finish out the season. He played four games in the regular season for the playoff-bound Jets. For now, Hendricks’ duties will be focused on the rest of the Wild’s development camp through the end of the week. “It was a lot of fun (on Tuesday),” Hendricks said. “Something new for me that was a different experience. Back in 2000 in Blaine we didn’t have any of (the training equipment). I was real proud and excited for them at this time in their career.” The Wild have extended qualifying offers to seven players eligible to become restricted free agents, including forwards Ryan Donato, Joel Eriksson Ek and Kevin Fiala to retain the rights to three key pieces of their young core. The moves were made Tuesday, as expected. Four players were not tendered offers, including forward Pontus Aberg, making him an unrestricted free agent when the market opens Monday. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Stacia was there to capture every little moment, I am still speechless at the fact that she was able to capture such deep emotions and translate them into beautiful photographs that we will both cherish for years to come.

Two weeks ago I had 3 skin biopsy's after a full body check for skin cancers. Thursday I had an appointment at 10.30 am to get the results and surgery no 1, if necessary. The Gang and I had had a lovely walk in Victoria Park on Wednesday, but I was determined to get up early and do my 8 km, hilly circuit on Thursday morning, just in case I was not to be allowed to be out and about after my visit. It was a lovely clear morning with just a hint of cool in the air. The birds seemed to be greeting me every step of the way. Of course they rarely stay long enough for me to get a photo of their beauty. Some shots of the morning. There seems to be large flocks of crows around at present. Not my favourite bird because of their raucous, repetitious call. On this occasion, they too seemed to be filled with the joy of the morning and we got along just fine. I walk this track at least 3 times a week. Only today do I observe a nasty scar on the distant ridge. Alas, yet another rural, lifestyle development on the go. 10.30 arrived and the good news is that only 2 of the three have to be removed. The face is fine. The right calf can wait until June, but the left shin must be done immediately. I don't usually procrastinate, but I have been counting down the days to my visit to my son in Canada, in just under 4 weeks and don't want anything to spoil the time with him. After some discussion with my skin specialist, who I hold in high regard, the surgery went ahead. My job now is to keep off it and keep it elevated for 4 days. The stitches will be in for 2 weeks, so definitely no walking for some time. Thursday night was the 99% full moon, just on sunset. My favourite time of day, but I didn't venture out. I was quite pleased with what I managed from the lounge floor. Suddenly appearing through the pool fence. I don't expect that there will be much happening here for the next few weeks. Enjoy the great outdoors for me.

Hunt 23: The 7th Member Twenty-third day of Sat’xahr, 4044 AOT, Weih’zien Past four o’clock in the afternoon In the fourth watch tower, located behind the Irog building, is where the clubroom of the newly authorized club Asylum. The tower is composed of two stories and is about twenty meters tall. It was used as guard post during the academy’s earlier establishment. However, since the modernization and rapid advancement of technology, the Balaam Knights no longer needed an actual guard to keep watch twenty-four hours a day. Most of the monitoring duty is being controlled by a group of specialists that guards the whole island. The ground floor of the watch tower has become dusty; janitors clean it only once every month. Because it is left unused for several decades most of the leftover furniture are shabby. They look around at first until they notice how Duke suddenly starts cleaning the place. While all of the six members celebrate their new found place and camaraderie, they suddenly hear a weak knock on the tower’s main door. “Who could it be?” Tristan wonders. Blair runs cheerfully towards the door. “I’ll go open it.” She is then taken by surprise. She takes a step back while greeting the guest with shaky voice. “Good afternoon, sir. What might have brought you here?” “Good afternoon.” He greets back while exploring the interior with his dark brown eyes with dark bags underneath. “I’ll be your club adviser, Jhalil Claws.” He walks past Blair, observing all the members. “I hope we get along… and that you brats won’t make too much trouble for me.” He pulls one of the unused chairs lined across the wall and then takes a sit there. The room is enveloped with silence until Azalea’s voice rings. “We’re very lucky to have you as our adviser, Prof. Claws.” “That sounds very sarcastic,” His squinted eyes gives her a piercing stare. “Have I always been such a terrible person in your mind?” Azalea leans on the worn-out table behind her. “You said you are a licensed Rune Adventurer, I honestly think it’s great to have you as our guide, sir.” “What’s great about that?” Primrose who is sitting around the corner opened a can of cookie. “Aren’t we going to slack off?” “You were eating gummy bears a while ago, weren’t you?” Tristan recalls. “Even if that was our original objective, I don’t think we can always spend as much peaceful times here.” Azalea answers directing her gaze on the ground. “Did you notice? This academy isn’t as peaceful as it appears to be.” “I see.” Professor Claws scratches the back of his head, messing up his already messy hair. “In just about two weeks of staying here, you’ve already perceived some unseemly stuff in the shadows.” Blair, Emil and Tristan’s eyes widen as they listen to their conversation. The air inside the room is starting to feel tense. Azalea laughs teasingly at them. “Don’t make those stupid faces. Whatever it is that might come out of the dark shadows lurking around, we or should I say the students, won’t be dealing with them directly. That’s why we have these Balaam Knights to keep peace and order within the academy.” “That’s a relief. I have zero fighting skill,” Tristan lets out a heavy breath. Emil turns away while putting his hands in his pockets. “I don’t want to be dragged into the sort of trouble that could throw me straight to jail.” “How long have you been investigating these dark shadows?” Duke asks while putting the feather duster aside. “I am not specifically investigating them,” she answers modestly. “Your disinterest over everything seems to have eaten your entire personality,” Professor Claws says lethargically while fixing his cold eyes on Azalea. “Such a wasted potential… I mean not only Blakewood, but everyone here. I’m amazed as how all of you had found each other and actually gathered here just to goof around. What a pain.” “I don’t particularly get what you’re talking about,” Blair wonders in a more serious tone. “Well--” He is about to disclose something when they hear a knock on the door. As the one closest to the door, Blair opens it immediately to see who the guest might be. She is surprised to see that at the other side of the old rusted door stands a young lad from the blue zone. He is wearing a radiantly kind smile and stunning electric blue eyes. His hair has an unusual blue highlight on the left side. An earring with blue gemstone dangles from his right ear. But what really caught their eyes is the creepy looking sword he carries by his side. “Hello,” the lad with bright aura around him greets courteously. “Is the room of the newly formed club, Asylum? I would like to talk to the club president regarding the signing up process of your club.” They are all taken aback after hearing his inquiry. “Sorry,” he humbles his tone. “I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Evancross Naoe. I want to join your club.” “N-naoe?!” Tristan gulps. “I heard that it’s very rare to have a blue come out of their zone and join in a club established by the green. Did we get caught up into some trouble again?..” “Ah… Please come in.” Blair gives way to let Evancross into the room. “I never would have imagined that we’d get a new member as soon as our club becomes official.” “Well… What made you want to join Asylum?” Azalea asks suspiciously. “We don’t have a good reputation here, you know. Most students already called us the ‘trash club’ or ‘chaotic gang.’ Are you sure you didn’t get us mixed up with a different club?” Professor Claws keeps his silence while watching them deal with the situation. It seems that he does not have any objection, or he plainly just do not care about the it at all. “Yes, I’m sure I want to join your club.” Evancross answers gladly. He then walks closer to Azalea while keeping his left hand on the sheath of the sword by his side. “Why this club?” Tristan ask. “Because it looks fun.” Azalea tilts her head slightly to the right while fixing her eyes on Evancross. “Are you crazy?” “I might be. That’s why I’m going to join Asylum,” he teasingly answers with a smile. “I can’t stand this guy,” Azalea mutters. “Tristan, please talk to this noble boy.” She pulls Tristan to the center while she slips farther to the back “Hey, don’t just pass the work to me!” Tristan complains but Azalea only gives him a thumbs up from the distance. “Well, you are the president after all.” Duke says with a teasing smile. “You should take proper care of our seventh member, prez.” “So, we aren’t going to kick him out?” Emil says with an unpleasant look on his face. The air around Evancross suddenly changes becoming cold. “If you have a hidden grudge towards me, then we could settle that right now.” “Really, are you sure you can take a fight with me, shitty noble?” Emil seems pissed off. Tristan gulps not knowing what to do amidst the brewing trouble. “Please don’t fight or else we might end up getting disbanded right after today!” “That would be troublesome,” Evancross says and then he turns back to Emil. “Whatever it is that I’ve done to offend you, let’s settle it some other time.” “Are you mocking me?” Emil takes a step forward but is stopped by Duke. “Mister Evancross,” Primrose calls while munching some cookies. “The blue highlight on your hair really looks familiar. You have a twin?” “I have an older brother,” he answers politely then the atmosphere around him turns light again. Primrose thoroughly observes him from head to toe. “Your brother helped me one time, so I guess I have no objection.” Then she continues eating. “If my sis is fine with him around then I don’t have any objection either.” Duke continues on dusting the piled tables beside him. “I’m not particularly against him either,” Blair adds before turning her back to go up to the second floor. “How about you, Emil?” “I don’t trust him at all,” he answers frankly. “It seems that you’re the only one with objection. Won’t you give me a chance?” Evan states making his stand firm. “He just counted me as one of in favor of him,” Tristan whispers in his head. He looks around trying to find an escape. “Err… why don’t we all arrange the place at the moment so that we could have a sit and talk things out, later?” He tries to calm the awkward situation down. “Well, we don’t have a specific reason to reject your application,” Azalea says while standing behind Tristan. “However that does not erase the fact that everything about you looks very suspicious.” “Now, aren’t you just being rude?” Tristan turns scolding her off softly. “It’s okay,” Evan replies wearing his suspicious gentle smile. “We can all take our time getting to know each other.” “May I ask a few questions then?” Azalea raises her hand. “Go ahead,” he replies politely. “Did Ivanryd send you here?” “It is my decision to join. Are you an acquaintance of my brother?” “Did Zharyx ask you for a favor?” She continues asking ignoring his question. “No, I am not that close to the Student Council.” “Are you doing this for the headmaster?” “I do not serve the headmaster.” “Who do you serve?” There is a sudden distinct pause before he gave his answer. “At the moment, there is none.” “Prez, what do you think?” She smiles kindly towards Tristan. Tristan hastily turns at her growling, “Don’t just call me ‘prez’ whenever it’s convenient for you!” “Come on, don’t be too grumpy now.” She laughs but then again immediately reverted to her serious expression. “Regardless of my personal impression,” she feigns a smile while rubbing her nape. “I believe we should give him a chance. Maybe we could also make use of him in some way too.” She forces a laugh. Primrose rolls her eyes towards Azalea making a cold stare. “You sound very uncomfortable and you’re not even hiding it.” “Make use? What in the world is she thinking?” Tristan sighs. “For now…” She lowers her head. “Since we have nothing to d--” “You kids will have to start with cleaning this tower and making it look like a proper clubroom usable by humans.” Professor Claws cuts in. Blair clicks her tongue. “I hate cleaning, it’s tiresome.” “Did I just hear you complain?” He glares at her. “It’s called freedom of expression.” “If you are going to continue having that kind of attitude then I guess I have no choice but to throw away all of those little animals you are keeping sheltered in AB forest.” “W-what?!! How did you even learn about that?!” “Because I’m not an idiot.” “Coward! Low life! Animal abuse!” Professor Claws dials on his phone calling someone. “Hello, pest control?” “W-waah--!” She shouts as she jumps towards the professor reaching for his phone but he manages to quickly avoid her. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Prof?” “What do you think you’re doing?!” He looks down at her while she lies flat on top of the table. “Get off there and go back your seat before I become serious.” Everyone stares at them like they are watching some comedic duo on tv while Evan casually continues on filling up the registration form. At that moment, Blair quietly and obediently goes back to her seat. “I only want you kids to do nothing and leave me with no trouble as the years pass. I hate dealing with the aftermath of every distasteful situation you will surely get into. If you are going to do something against the rules, either don’t let yourself get caught or keep it low. Alright, now that we have properly introduced ourselves to each other and I have given you some activity to get yourselves busy for today, I guess I’ll have to go.” He yawns before taking Evan’s application form and then he leaves. “We got one hell of a prof, huh?” Emil sighs leaning on the back of his chair. “Hey, red head.” Evan calls. “Don’t call me red head or I’ll break your face!” She growls while clenching her fist. “Sorry,” he scratches the back of his head while making a soft laugh. “It’s just that you haven’t introduced yourself to me yet.” “It’s Blair Lisiantha.” “You’re not a Rouge?” “Rouge? That Rouge?...” Tristan wonders. “Hey, would you cut that out?” Azalea reacts unusually. However Evan does not sway. “What is your middle n--” “Stop asking stupid things and let’s just get into that cleaning task now.” He pauses and then thinks to himself. “I see.” Azalea stares at his reaction. He has definitely figured something out. They are about to begin sweeping when a knock resounded in the room. When Tristan opened the door a light blonde boy with aqua-marine like eyes from the blue zone is standing in front. He humbly smiled and bowed at him while he stood speechless. “Hello, my name is Keito Ikari. I came here to get Sir Evancross Naoe.” “Yeah, he’s here.” Tristan tensely gave way showing the interior. “Have you had your own fill of fun? Evan, your brother wants to have a word with you.” Evan stood up and nonchalantly walked towards the door. Primrose, Emil and Blair just watched him while Duke made his way up the second floor. “Hey, blue-boy--!” Azalea called as he exits the door. He turned his head a little just enough to keep a glance of her. “Please call me by my name. Don’t worry, I won’t be doing anything. I won’t talk about it either.” She stared at him quietly as he leaves the room with the other guy, until Blair tapped her shoulder. “What’s wrong, Az?” “He wasn’t sent here to keep an eye on us, was he?” Primrose said softly and suspiciously. Tristan closed the door and obliviously strolled back inside. “Why would they do that?” “Probably because we have three reds and two greens that got an awful record gathering in the same place in the pretense of engaging in some sort of school activity.” Emil answered sarcastically. “Hey,” Duke called peeking from the second floor, “we should start from the top and see which of these pile of stock up stuff can be of use.” Meanwhile, Evan goes directly to meet Ivanryd in the Balaam Knights Office. He casually goes inside the main office strolling through the living room. He takes a few seconds to stand in front of the Commander’s door before knocking courteously. He then gently opens the door revealing the interior of the quiet and tense-filled office. The sound of several refined steps echoes inside followed by the click of the closing door. A freezing silence surrounds the man occupying the commander’s seat. His cold eyes are fixed directly at his rebellious little brother. “So, what kind of play are you trying to make? You’ve never made such unexpected decision before, Evan.” “Brother,” with unyielding voice he responds, “I am not playing around. I am seriously showing how interested I am this time. I want to take a different path.” “Everyone had been expecting you to join Balaam Knights and someday replace me here. I know a lot of people are going to compare us to each other simply because we are brothers. I know it’ll put great pressure on you… BUT that doesn’t mean you have to take complete turn and join a newly formed club composed of mischievous lot.” He smiles kindly. “I know. I thought I’ll follow your footsteps as well since I have nothing better to do. However, brother, one day I’ve suddenly realized that I should stop chasing after the traces you’ve left behind but rather chase after something that made me realize what I should be.” “And what might that be?” His usually cold eyes sparks with curiosity. “I won’t tell you… you’ll end up learning about it anyway.” He sighs. He is spinning a pen in his hand while keeping his gaze down on his table. “Is this the reason why you decided to finally carry that cursed sword?” “I had a talk with the young lord. For the years that I am going to spend in this academy, I have been permitted to act freely, regardless of the will of the Naoe clan and the House of Kirihara.” They keep silent while staring at each other for a long time; fixing their eyes right on each. It is as if they are calculating their resolve and sensing who is going to make a step back first. The pressure on the air is so thick that the room feels like a steaming underground lava cave. Evan breaks the silence sweeping the fog of animosity with his sweet but dubious smile. “It seems that you have nothing to say to me anymore. I’ll be going then.” “I’ll let you play around for now,” is his brother’s goodbye quote while Evan steps out of the door without turning back. Keito enters after Evan left. He closes the door gently and then salutes shortly. “Take this.” Ivanryd pulls an envelope from the files inside his drawer and placed it at the corner of his table. “I want all and any kind of information you can dig about the students in that envelop, ASAP.” “Yes sir,” he immediately complies with a straight face before leaving. Ivanryd closes his eyes while pressing the bridge of his nose out of weariness. “He had always been very compliant before, just what could have gone wrong with him?” Yup, I changed the format to something easier for me to keep doing.... So, the rest of the chapters will be like this from here on until the end. Hope you don't mind. Yup, I changed the format to something easier for me to keep doing....

Now the name “kedgeree” itself is most likely a derivation of the Indian word “khichiri”, which is a traditional Indian vegetarian rice and dal dish. Most surprisingly though, is that kedgeree is eaten as a breakfast dish throughout the UK and is still enjoyed even today. This is a great way to use leftover fish and basically any fish will work, just use whatever variety you have on hand or what is available in your area. Traditionally, smoked fish is used in this recipe but I found the smoked flavor slightly overwhelming for this dish but if you love smoked fish – then feel free to use any variety of smoked fish you like. Personally, I prefer to use either baked or poached fish for this recipe. Kedgeree is also a great way to use leftover rice. KEDGEREE (Anglo-Indian Style Rice with Fish) 2-2½ cups cooked Basmati rice 1-1½ lbs of cooked fish, gently flaked 1 tsp black mustard seeds 1 medium onion, finely sliced 1” piece of ginger, peeled & finely grated 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 4-6 fresh curry leaves 3-4 dried red chilies, to taste 2 tbsp good quality curry powder ½ tsp turmeric (haldi) ½ tsp ground cumin powder ½ tsp ground coriander powder salt & pepper, to taste zest of ½ lime ¼ cup golden raisins, soaked in a little warm water juice of ½ lime 2 tbsp ghee, butter or oil (vegetable or canola) 3 hard-boiled eggs, cut into quarters ¼ cup fresh herbs finely chopped (you can use cilantro, chives, parsley or any combination) In a large deep skillet or wok on medium high heat, add the ghee. When hot, carefully add the mustard seeds and allow them to splatter. When the splattering subsides, add the onions and sauté until just translucent. Next, add the ginger, garlic, curry leaves and the dried red chilies. Stir and add in the spices (curry powder, turmeric, ground cumin powder, ground coriander powder, salt & pepper). Let the spices cook for a few minutes before adding in the cooked rice – this may be done in batches. Stir well to coat the rice with all the spices & aromatics, then add the lime zest & golden raisins (along with any soaking liquid). Now gently add in the flaked fish and the lime juice. Mix well to combine, reduce the heat to low, cover and let cook for just 4-5 minutes. Gently fork the rice and transfer to a serving platter. Lastly, finish the dish by arranging the boiled eggs over the top and garnish with the fresh herbs. Serve hot as part of any Indian meal. Although not traditional, feel free to add your favorite vegetables to this dish such as green peas, corn, carrots, grape tomatoes, spinach, fennel, bell peppers, zucchini… You Should Also Read: Kolambi Bhath Recipe Indian Paella Recipe Jhat Pat Seafood Pulao Recipe Editor's Picks Articles Top Ten Articles Content copyright © 2019 by Sadhana Ginde.

Me & My Shadow. Boston Children's Museum. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, I start to look forward to the bad weather that comes with this season change. That bad weather is an excuse to stay in, hunker down and pour another cup of coffee. It is an excuse to bring Alice to our bed and spend the morning playing or reading under the warmth of a heavy quilt. It is an excuse to bake something fragrant all while hanging out in our pajamas. And honestly, it's an excuse to not leave our apartment. I tend to be a bit of a recluse. I sort of like being by myself on most days. Sometimes I wonder if I am inherently reclusive (the chicken)? Or I wonder if living in a city with few friends and no family is the reason behind my reclusiveness (the egg)? Who knows which came first. It doesn't matter, really. So when it is miserable outside Alice and I happily stay inside and watch the inclement weather from the warmth of our third floor apartment. But, after a day or so of being inside, that old stir-crazy feeling emerges and, as soon as the sun shines, we head out to warm our faces in her rays. My feelings about staying cooped up in our apartment might change when Alice goes mobile and requires more entertaining. I am sure 1100 square-feet gets boring quickly to a toddling baby! Can you relate?! Snowy weather. January 2012.

Officials in Saudi Arabia announced their intentions to construct a women-only industrial city, according to a recent report published by Reuters. This measure was adopted in order to give local women the possibility to work and observe the country’s strict laws at the same time. It may seem like a small change for people who live in more modern countries, but the construction of a women-only industrial city is a big step for a highly conservative civilization like the Saudi Arabia. Supporters of equal rights still think that women are discriminated because they are forced to work in special environments, but they acknowledge that the city will make a difference in the Saudi Arabian culture. The construction will be concluded next year and is meant to give women the possibility to support themselves. The city, which will be located in Hofuf, will be purposefully built to protect women and allow them to work without being afraid of infringing the local laws. General Saleh al-Rasheed, the Deputy Director of the Saudi Industrial Property Authority, told the press that only several industries will be allowed to function in the city because women should, nevertheless, work in the domains that best suit their interests and their nature. As a result, there will be more than 5000 jobs in less difficult domains, such as, textiles, pharmaceuticals and food-processing. The city, however, will be placed in residential areas, so local women won’t have to walk long distances to get to their working places. General Saleh al-Rasheed concluded his declaration by expressing his belief that women will be very efficient at their jobs because they have always expressed their wish to be financially independent. At present only 15 percent of Saudi Arabia’s workforce is made up of women. The new measures could lead to similar changes in the future and women’s status in the Arabian society might be improved. Four similar cities could be created after the industrial city of Hofuf is finished next year.

Through oscillations of excitement and doubt in AR, what are the market factors that indicate its growth potential? These “confidence signals” as we call them were the topic of our recent presentation at AWE Nite SF (video below). One of the biggest confidence signals for example is to “follow the money.” Billions being invested by tech giants not only indicates a future for AR, but what that future could look like. Through self-interested positioning, they’re building platforms and paving the roads for the rest the sector. For example, Google has a vested interest AR-based visual search to boost monetizable search query volume. Facebook wants to keep us in its walled garden through visually-immersive content sharing like AR lenses. Branded lenses also directly monetize through product try-ons. Apple meanwhile wants to make the maturing iPhone sexy again through AR, while also planting the seeds for a longer-term AR hardware suite (glasses, hearables, etc.). And Amazon has AR features that let shoppers visualize products in-home to boost e-commerce and reduce returns. But that still leaves the question of what AR’s killer app will be. The AR sector has gotten flak for not producing a mass-market killer app. Pokemon Go and Snapchat Lenses have certainly reached killer app-like penetration. But for world-immersive AR, we’re not there yet. But the question is whether or not that’s a bad thing. Does AR need a killer app yet? Looking to historical evidence — our favorite pastime — iPhone killer apps didn’t arrive until 2-3 years after the device’s introduction. 2-3 years from ARkit’s June 2017 launch is later this year, or next year. Like with the iPhone, this is the requisite incubation period for developers to gain their native footing. We’re otherwise anchored to the mentality of legacy technology. At the time of the iPhone’s 2007 launch, that meant a desktop mentality. Today, it means a mobile 2D mentality. So when will AR’s killer apps arrive? It won’t exactly follow the 2-3 year incubation cycle we saw with those early iPhone apps, but it could be close. As for the what, the requisite mindset shift means, by definition, that we don’t yet know what those apps will be. There will be surprises. Mundane Will Win Going back on the previous statement… though we don’t know the exact nature of AR’s eventual killer apps, there are some attributes we believe they’ll carry. For example, they’ll have some novelty but will rely more on factors like all-day utility and capacity for frequent use. Pointing to a few examples in today’s landscape, AR experiences that have these traits include “try before you buy,” product visualization. They solve real pain points and align true utility with monetizable and commerce-oriented experiences. The latter is where brands will actually invest. An even better example can be seen in Google’s interlinked AR efforts. That includes visual search, which has the greatest potential “all-day” use case in terms of utility and frequency. And VPS will solve real user pain points — on city streets and retail environments (monetizable). To put some numbers behind that, there’s $3.7 trillion in offline U.S. spending. An increasing portion of that spend — about $1 trillion — is influenced by mobile. This is where AR will live, as it compresses that online-to-offline consumer journey. Google is particularly vested in this vision. Picks and Shovels Another key area of opportunity is AR building blocks. It includes enabling technologies that handle the back-end heavy lifting and let developers focus on their front-end UX. Examples are companies like 6D.ai or AR as a service (ARaaS), such as Niantic’s Real World platform. Another key building block will be creative tools like Adobe Aero, Amazon Sumerian and anything that democratizes AR creation and distribution. This is required to boost the libraries of 3D graphical assets that will populate all of these AR experiences that we envision. That includes a related opportunity and confidence signal: brand advertising. It’s currently one of the few places being monetized in AR, with just over $400 million spent in 2018. That’s mostly branded AR lenses in Snapchat and Facebook. We project it to grow to $760 million this year. The appeal to advertisers is strong brand engagement due to immersive use cases like trying on cosmetics. And it’s going beyond brand awareness to drive actual conversions with baked in transactional functionality. This makes it a rare full-funnel ad medium (see chart below). Business Model Validation Lastly, one big confidence signal is real revenue generation. Beyond the hundreds of millions in AR ad revenue per the above, there’s already $ billions in in-app purchase revenue. Specifically, Pokemon Go has driven more than $2 billion in revenue to date from in-app purchases (IAP). To be clear, this revenue isn’t fully attributable to AR, as Pokemon Go is an experience in which AR is just one (growing) component. But it’s still a confidence signal — and not just for the question of whether or not AR revenue exists but how. Lots of signs point to IAP as a go-to model. Not only is IAP validated in other segments of the mobile gaming world, but it’s fitting to AR’s early stages. As our survey data with Thrive Analytics indicates, AR is too early and unproven to get users to pay upfront for premium apps. More survey data are unpacked in the video below. Beyond all these consumer AR confidence signals, there are of course negative signals we’ll continue to examine on AR Insider.

She said, "Sorry about the wait - the drive-thru has us totally backed up on tacos, and... she doesn't like being helped." It was several more minutes before we got our food. I'm sorry, if it's the lunch rush and half your food service is getting backed up, you are just going to have to learn to work with other people. So that's a suck from the person who is apparently cranky and refuses help, and a suck from the manager who doesn't put another person on tacos when it gets so backed up that it takes NEARLY TWENTY MINUTES TO GET OUR FOOD. We didn't bother complaining because it was obvious they knew about the problem and were not doing anything about it.

On Sale: July 20, 2010 Featuring: Mary Crawford; Fanny Price Mystery Historical, Jane Austen Buy at Amazon.com Complete with romance, intrigue, and crimes of the heart, MURDER AT MANSFIELD PARK is an irreverent new twist on an old classic. Murder at Mansfield Park takes Jane Austen’s masterpiece and turns it into a riveting murder story worthy of PD James or Agatha Christie. Just as in many classic English detective mysteries, this new novel opens with a group of characters in a country house setting, with passions running high, and simmering tensions beneath the elegant Regency surface. The arrival of the handsome and debonair Henry Crawford and his sister forces these tensions into the open, and sparks a chain of events that leads inexorably to violence and death. Beautifully written, with an absolute faithfulness to the language in use at the time, Murder at Mansfield Park is both a good old-fashioned murder mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the very last page, and a sparklingly clever inversion of the original, which goes to the heart of many of the questions raised by Jane Austen’s text. Austen’s Mansfield Park is radically different from any of her other works, and much of the pleasure of Lynn Shepherd’s novel lies in the way it takes the characters and episodes in the original, and turns them into a lighter, sharper, and more playful book, with a new heroine at its centre – a heroine who owes far more to the lively and spirited Elizabeth Bennet, than the dreary and insipid Fanny Price. A treat for Austen lovers and murder mystery aficionados alike. Murder at Mansfield Park – an excerpt There has been a gruesome murder at Mansfield, and in his father’s absence Tom Bertram has summoned a thief taker from London, to help solve the crime. Now read on… Mary sat for a few minutes deliberating whether it would be best to return to the parsonage; her sister must be wondering where she was. She was still debating the matter when she heard the sound of a carriage on the drive, and went to the window. It was a very handsome equipage, but the horses were post; and neither the carriage, nor the coachman who drove it, were familiar to her. The man who emerged was a little above medium height, with rather strong features and a visible scar above one eye. His clothes, however, were fashionable and of very Read More…

Testimony by Colombian statistical expert Daniel Guzmán provided key evidence in the conviction of two former police officers found guilty in the 1984 forced disappearance of Guatemalan student and union leader Edgar Fernando García. In a historical ruling, two former officers of the Guatemalan National Police – disbanded in 1996 as part of the peace accords ending the internal armed conflict – were each sentenced to the maximum term of 40 years in prison for their role in García’s disappearance. On October 28, 2010, twenty-six years after the crime against García, the Eighth Tribunal of the Guatemalan Supreme Court in Guatemala City sentenced Abraham Lancerio Gómez and Héctor Roderico Ramírez just ten days after the start of the case. Two other former officers suspected in the crime remain at large. The verdict has established forced disappearance as a crime in the Guatemalan judicial system and prompted the Guatemalan Public Ministry to investigate other members of the National Police involved in the case, high-ranking officers among them. “I feel proud to have been able to support justice in Guatemala with my statistical, technical contribution,” said Guzmán, who is a consultant for the Human Rights Data Analysis Group at Benetech, a California nonprofit. “Most importantly, García’s family is starting to believe some kind of justice is possible.” The trial in the case of Edgar Fernando García´s disappearance in Guatemala is exceptional in several respects. First, the sentences against the two former policemen are the first based on evidence found by researchers among the estimated 31.7 million documents contained in the Historical Archive of the National Police. Second the guilty ruling against the accused is the third such verdict passed in Guatemala against forced disappearance. Since there were two similar rulings issued in 2009, this most recent verdict will establish a lasting judicial precedent for future cases that can help hold other perpetrators accountable. Edgar Fernando García was 26 years old, an engineering student, union activist, and member of the clandestine Guatemalan Workers´ Party (PGT in Spanish), when he was detained by National Police agents on a Guatemala City street. His whereabouts are still unknown. With his disappearance on February 18, 1984, he left his young wife and 18-month old daughter behind. During the reading of the verdict, it was announced that among the evidence taken into account in the trial was expert testimony from Guzmán that calculated the percentage of documents about García known by different police units. Guzmán and his colleagues at Benetech, with technical support from the statistical survey research organization Westat, of Washington, D.C., carried out a quantitative analysis of the official records found in the National Police archive, from which most of the essential proof in the case emerged. The statistical analysis by Guzmán and his colleagues, based on random sampling of the estimated 31.7 million documents in the Archive generated between 1960 and 1996, centered on the quantity and the movement of the documents found there. According to Guzmán, units responsible for direction and coordination of National Police policy were acquainted with proportionately more than twice the number of documents related to the Edgar Fernando García case than with the total of documents in the Archive. By calculating the percentage of documents known by different police command structures, analysts can reach conclusions about relationships among security forces and communications between the army and police. This evidence is critical because historical data has shown that the Guatemalan army was the force most involved in human rights violations against civilians. Prosecutors hypothesize that the National Police may have carried out crimes against civilians in coordination with the army. Guzmán’s findings helped to support arguments by prosecutors that relatively high-level officers of that institution were aware of the planning, the design, the orders given, and the supervision of the type of operations like the one that resulted in García’s disappearance, which were carried out against activists and perceived subversives during the time of the internal armed conflict in Guatemala. The data that Guzmán used in his testimony was based on three years of coding key variables from random samples of documents drawn from the National Police archive. Random sampling is a statistical methodology used when the whole of reality cannot be observed directly. An extrapolation is made from what is known and directly observable to what has not been observed and therefore remains unknown. In the case of the Historical Archive of the Guatemala National Police, for example, it was impossible to read the estimated 31.7 million documents produced there and so analysts created a physical map of the archive and sampled the documents. Sampling was also necessary to ensure that the documents were chosen at random and not selectively analyzed. The science of statistics has been used by Guzmán and his colleagues at Benetech in other countries, including Colombia, to carry out estimates of massive human rights violations. In February 2010, on the basis of partial data, Guzmán and his colleagues presented a scientifically based statistical estimate of the total homicides and forced disappearances that took place in the Department of Casanare in the period 1998-2007. This was documented in the 2010 Benetech report, “To Count the Uncounted: An Estimation of Lethal Violence in Casanare.” The testimony provided by Guzmán and others in the García case fights impunity and strengthens the rule of law to resolve crimes committed during Guatemala’s years of conflict. The statistical analysis carried out in Colombia by Guzmán and his colleagues also provides historical clarification and may perhaps help Colombian families of the disappeared find the peace and justice found by the family of Fernando García. Author Beatriz Vejarano is Colombia Field Consultant at Benetech.

Nick Cherry '21 Hometown: DuBois, PA Legal Areas of Interest: Business Law, In-House Counsel University of Pittsburgh Campus and Community Involvement: Aside from being a Law Lion Ambassador, I am the Competition Chair for the Sports & Entertainment Law Society, and a member of Phi Alpha Delta and the Business Law Society. I am Dean Williams’ Research Assistant, and worked for the Elder Law Project as well. I was also a member of Dickinson Law’s softball tournament team, and was actively involved in the planning for 2020’s tournament prior to its cancellation. A Dickinson Law Favorite: As cliché as it sounds, I really enjoy the whole community. The entire faculty and student body are more than willing to help you grow as a lawyer and as a person. Additionally, the alumni are very involved and always willing to help current Dickinson Law students. Obviously, I have no experience at other law schools, but the way Dickinson Law operates seems unique in the best way. The sense of community within Dickinson Law is one that is not only stressed in words, but also in practice. Why Dickinson Law?: Dickinson Law checked just about every box on my list for law school. As I was researching and applying to law schools, several of the Dickinson Law Alumni I knew spoke highly of their alma mater, including Carlisle as a whole. After hearing these unfiltered yet glowing opinions of the Law School, which were overwhelmingly positive, I was sold. In the summer of 2019, I had an internship with Neiswender & Kubista, a law firm in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I was also able to observe several proceedings at the Clearfield County Courthouse. During the spring semester of 2020, I was able to intern with Hershey Entertainment & Resorts’ legal department. I will intern with Judge Lewis at the Dauphin County Courthouse in the summer of 2020, and have accepted an internship with the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association for fall 2020. My favorite courses have been my problem solving (legal writing) classes with Professor Prince. Professor Prince made the classes great, as she gave constructive feedback on papers and briefs, never talked down to her students and always encouraged them, and did her very best to make the classes engaging and fun. These classes gave me the confidence and ability to write succinctly while still making effective arguments, an essential part of legal writing. Advice for Prospective Law Students: Trust your gut. You are going to have any number of people giving you their two cents about where you should go, which classes you should take, and everything in-between. Yes, advice can be very helpful, but there is a difference between advice and orders. You have to make decisions that feel right for you, otherwise it won’t work out. Do what feels right, and everything will be fine. Something You Love About Carlisle: My favorite thing about Carlisle is the people. I have never experienced a community as friendly as the one in Carlisle, whether as a resident or as a guest. Walking to and from school, it is common to have several people smile, wave, and ask how you are. That incredible kindness is unique to Carlisle. On Choosing a Law School: I wish I would have known that it takes some time to get acclimated to the work of law school, and that’s completely normal. You'd Never Guess That... : I used to work at Walt Disney World.

Forgiveness is the art of letting go so we can be free to be happy. If we don’t forgive then we end up chained down by grudges, painful memories, unrealistic expectations, and the like. Forgiveness helps us let go of those things and move on to a better life. For instance, I forgive my hair for not behaving for this video!!!! 😉 Want to support peace and happiness?

In many ways, baby boomers and millennials could not be more different. Confronting the two generations’ differences in the workplace is a circumstance that offers some challenges along with great promise. If you can harness all the energy that these challenges create, and consider the benefit of millennials’ differences, your workplace will be dynamic and productive. Social scientists define each separate generation by the attitudes, behaviors and expectations of the people born within a particular timeframe. The baby boomer generation (1946-1964) has been perhaps the most influential in shaping modern society and workplaces, because it pushed aside the tired social notions of the pre-war era in pursuit of innovation and imagination. The boomers invented scores of new industries and created immense wealth. In many respects, the baby boomers set the tone and style of the work world for generations to come. For many millennials, those born between 1982 and 2004, the boomer mentality no longer seems relevant. Millennials are resisting social notions that they consider outdated in favor of progressive and innovative approaches, just as the baby boomers did when they were entering the workforce. Millennials were raised with an electronic console in each hand, coached and supported at every step of their development, and encouraged to express the full extent of their emotions. This upbringing has created noticeable traits that are often criticized by members of older generations. For corporate administrations steeped in baby boomer traditions, the vast differences in mindset and attitude between the boomers and the millennials make the increasing number of millennials joining the workforce a particularly difficult situation to manage.

Thoughts on Swift 2 Errors When Swift was first announced, I was gratified to see that one of the (few) philosophies that it shared with Objective-C was that exceptions should not be used for control flow, only for highlighting fatal programming errors at development time. So it came as a surprise to me when Swift 2 brought (What appeared to be) traditional exception handling to the language. Similarly surprised were the functional Swift programmers, who had put their faith in the Haskell-style approach to error handling, where every function returns an enum (or monad, if you like) containing either a valid result or an error. This seemed like a natural fit for Swift, so why did Apple instead opt for a solution originally designed for clumsy imperative languages? I'm going to cover three things in this post:

The Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office has a new tip line phone app that works with Android and Apple smartphones. The program is called “tip411.” In a statement, Sheriff Mark Nelson said, “Citizens today are far more likely to text or email a tip than they are to make a phone call. … This is technology that helps connect the sheriff’s office with our citizens in a different way, and will enable us to get timely, anonymous information on crimes in Cowlitz County.” Nelson said public involvement is the best crime-fighting resource in Cowlitz County. He said he hopes callers will use the app to report suspicious activity, drug complaints, domestic violence or any other crime they see. Read More Here at TDN.com

LOS ANGELES – Applying for a divorce is already a hassle and a mentally and emotionally draining experience. But on top of it, going into unknown territory, without a lawyer, can be pretty risky. California lawyer. If the divorce is uncontested, i.e., all the major decisions have been agreed upon by the couple, it can be done without a lawyer in California and other states. But there is more than what meets the eye. Let’s dive in deeper to understand more: Criteria to be fulfilled: Even if the process has been simplified and the need for a lawyer has been eradicated, there are specific criteria to meet: It must be an Uncontested Divorce: Any disputes, whatsoever, may disqualify the couple from going without a lawyer. Short Marriage: The less time a couple has been together, the less property, debts, and other financial responsibilities have been accumulated in the marriage. So shorter marriages result in fewer complications. No Minor Children: If you have minor children, the court will consider the effect of the divorce on them. Child-related issues (custody, maintenance, visitation, etc.) are very difficult to settle without a qualified lawyer’s help. Property Division: The couple must agree on how the assets are going to be distributed. A financial expert may be needed in cases involving valuable property, retirement funds, a family business, and other investments. However, with some help, it can still be done without a lawyer. Child Custody: In a typical situation, both parents are not only willing and able to stay involved in the life of the child; it is also heavily encouraged by the court. Spouses will have to agree on who will take physical custody (where the child lives), how visitation will work, and how the parents will work together to make important decisions in the child’s life. Grounds for Divorce: The spouses must agree about getting a divorce and agree to have a no-fault divorce to avoid court hearings that will require hiring a lawyer. Spousal Support: The divorce may leave one spouse at a disadvantage financially due to the inability to receive the training and education necessary to start a career during the marriage. If one spouse needs alimony or spousal support, the couple must agree about the amount and type of payments if a lawyer is not involved. Despite the costs, having a professional to back you up is always a good thing. However, not everything requires a Lawyer’s assistance. Some items can be handled by a certified paralegal who can guide you through the process. Mediation is a cheaper option for settling disputes. Online divorce services can handle the paperwork. Financial experts can help with certain financial issues. Lawyer 2 lawyer What kind of Complications can there be in Uncontested Divorce? T he dissolution of a marriage is not an everyday issue. Lawyers and professionals study it for years to become experts. So a Do-it-Yourself divorce should not be taken lightly. The purpose of this article is to prepare readers mentally to get ready for the challenges they may face, such as: A lot of forms will need to be completed and submitted to the court. Supporting documents will be required, which will be mentioned in the forms. The court will charge filing fees. Paperwork will have to be submitted on time. So, it is advisable for the petitioner and the respondent to seek professional help to avoid mistakes, the consequences of which can be delays, rejections, and even additional fees. What kind of low-cost professional help is available? Paralegals prepare legal documents to be filed in the court proceedings, but there are limitations to their profession. They can not, in any way, give you legal advice. You can use their help at a low cost to avoid making mistakes, but you will have to represent yourself in court. In this way, your cost of divorce will go down dramatically. Advantages of an Uncontested Divorce Low Cost: Uncontested divorce cases can be done with no help or the help of low-cost Paralegals. Less Time: These cases end sooner because there is very little or no disputes. This makes these cases very easy to finalize, and, in some cases, they only require one or two hearings. Less Effort: This type of divorce requires less effort from the petitioner and the respondent compared to a contested divorce. Less Emotional Stress: Because of the much lower stakes, and everything going on without conflicts, there is less emotional and mental stress. Complicated Situations – Contested Divorce Certain situations have the potential to cause complications. If the petitioner and respondent cannot come to a mutual agreement, the divorce becomes contested. Below are some conditions that require close attention: Financial Matters: If there is too much debt or asset creation after the marriage, complications can arise. Couples can get into an endless dispute about who takes what. Family Matters: If there is too much emotional involvement with the other family members, the respondent may raise objections against the petition and reject the divorce papers. Social Disparity: Some couples find it difficult to adjust to their new social identity after being part of a couple for so long. In such cases, the respondent’s friends and social life may be more adversely affected than the petitioner can realize. These things can become a pain in the neck if not appropriately addressed. Alimony Demands: This can also complicate matters and lead to a court contest. What may seem like life support to one of the parties may seem unfair to the other. It may result in conflicts, becoming a hurdle on the way of a peaceful separation. Intellectual property lawyer The blame game: Taking responsibility for a failed marriage is not an easy task. At times, this point becomes an obstacle for an uncontested divorce and forces a situation where parties blame each other instead of accepting responsibility. These situations take a dirty turn more often than expected, creating a further ruckus. Solutions to such problems come only through lawyers, or in some cases, mediators. When mediators are involved, issues are settled before going to court, and a public scene is avoided. On the other hand, lawyers do things differently and solve disputes in front of the court. But the cost implications of these situations can be tremendous. It can take months and even years to resolve some issues during a divorce, depending upon the complexity of the situation. There is a fair share of online divorce services, one of them californiaonlinedivorce.com, which offers you a fast and affordable divorce with your spouse, without an attorney. Many of them claim to be the best online divorce services, providing help with paperwork preparation online. But how do you select the right one?

That’s where we come in. We will put in every ounce of our strength and resources to serve our clients. We aim to provide the most hassle-free service for you so that you can move past your divorce troubles faster and get on with living a quality life. After verifying that you qualify for an uncontested online divorce, you’ll register and complete an online questionnaire so we can gather the details about your divorce. That information will be used to select and complete all the required divorce documents for your case. Our system works quickly so that your divorce can start faster. Your court-ready forms will be available in as little as two days. You’ll also get clear filing instructions to make submitting your documents to the court easy. We use our muscles to make this process easy for you, and we charge a very reasonable fee. After all, making the divorce affordable and easy is our mission. We are very good at what we do.

Hello Stampin’ Friends, Today I’m going to share with you a card inspired by the technique that I’m doing with my Technique Clubs this month. A simple technique that really has that “WOW” factor. You will need a clear block, some markers and a stamp set of your choice. On today’s card, I’m using the stamp set “Wetlands” and the sandpipers from that set, block “H”, the “Marina Mist” marker from the Soft Subtles and “Soft Suede” from the Neutrals Collection of markers. I know my club members are going to enjoy this one! I use the lightest of the two colors first, so the Marina Mist is scribbled onto the top half of the block, then the Soft Suede on the bottom half. Fill your Stampin’ Spritzer with water and simple spritz the block until it begins to bead. Then press it onto your cardstock (we used Whisper White). You will actually see the color pull into the cardstock … Hold it down for a bit till the water is absorbed. Let it dry somewhat and then you can stamp your sandpipers onto your watercolor image. You will never get two to look the same, and that is the beauty of this watercolor technique. My greeting comes from the stamp set “Choose Happiness”. I like the way the font compliments the line image of the sandpipers. YES … Sometimes less is more. Adding extra embellishments just because you have them, would take away from the simple message of this card. I’d love to hear your thoughts about the use of embellishments. Don’t get me wrong … I like my bling too! lol Thank you for joining me today. I have listed the supplies below, just click on them for details about the product or to begin shopping at my online store. Have a beautiful Sunday ~ TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …

Training: Memory Training Improves Intelligence in Some Children If the training is fun, not frustrating, it can lead to long-term gains in abstract reasoning, scientists found June 14th, 2011, From wire service reports, eSchool News Training a child to hold a whole cluster of items in his or her memory for even a short time might feel like trying to hold a wave on the sand. But a study published June 13 says it’s a drill that can yield lasting benefits. Children who’ve had such training have better abstract reasoning and solve problems more creatively than kids who haven’t, the study found.

- PACKAGE METHODS - SEE ALSO Array::Base - array index offseting use Array::Base +1; no Array::Base; This module implements automatic offsetting of array indices. In normal Perl, the first element of an array has index 0, the second element has index 1, and so on. This module allows array indexes to start at some other value. Most commonly it is used to give the first element of an array the index 1 (and the second 2, and so on), to imitate the indexing behaviour of FORTRAN and many other languages. It is usually considered poor style to do this. The array index offset is controlled at compile time, in a lexically-scoped manner. Each block of code, therefore, is subject to a fixed offset. It is expected that the affected code is written with knowledge of what that offset is. An array index offset is set up by a use Array::Base directive, with the desired offset specified as an argument. Beware that a bare, unsigned number in that argument position, such as " use Array::Base 1", will be interpreted as a version number to require of Array::Base. It is therefore necessary to give the offset a leading sign, or parenthesise it, or otherwise decorate it. The offset may be any integer (positive, zero, or negative) within the range of Perl's integer arithmetic. An array index offset declaration is in effect from immediately after the use line, until the end of the enclosing block or until overridden by another array index offset declaration. A declared offset always replaces the previous offset: they do not add. " no Array::Base" is equivalent to " use Array::Base +0": it returns to the Perlish state with zero offset. A declared array index offset influences these types of operation: array indexing ( array slicing ( array pair slicing ( list indexing/slicing ( qw(a b c)) array splicing ( splice(@a, 3, 2)) array last index ( array keys ( keys(@a)) (Perl 5.11 and later) array each ( each(@a)) (Perl 5.11 and later) Only forwards indexing, relative to the start of the array, is supported. End-relative indexing, normally done using negative index values, is not supported when an index offset is in effect. Use of an index that is numerically less than the index offset will have unpredictable results. This module is a replacement for the historical $[ variable. In early Perl that variable was a runtime global, affecting all array and string indexing in the program. In Perl 5, assignment to $[ acts as a lexically-scoped pragma. $[ is deprecated. The original $[ was removed in Perl 5.15.3, and later replaced in Perl 5.15.5 by an automatically-loaded arybase module. This module reimplements the index offset feature without any specific support from the core. $[, this module does not affect indexing into strings. This module is concerned only with arrays. To influence string indexing, see String::Base. This module does not show the offset value in $[ or any other accessible variable. With the array offset being lexically scoped, there should be no need to write code to handle a variable offset. $[ has some predictable, but somewhat strange, behaviour for indexes less than the offset. The behaviour differs slightly between slicing and scalar indexing. This module does not attempt to replicate it, and does not support end-relative indexing at all. The last-index operator ( $#a), as implemented by the Perl core, generates a magical scalar which is linked to the underlying array. The numerical value of the scalar varies if the length of the array is changed, and code with different $[ settings will see accordingly different values. The scalar can also be written to, to change the length of the array, and again the interpretation of the value written varies according to the $[ setting of the code that is doing the writing. This module does not replicate any of that behaviour. With an array index offset from this module in effect, $#a evaluates to an ordinary rvalue scalar, giving the last index of the array as it was at the time the operator was evaluated, according to the array index offset in effect where the operator appears. These methods are meant to be invoked on the Sets up an array index offset of BASE, in the lexical environment that is currently compiling. Clears the array index offset, in the lexical environment that is currently compiling. B::Deparse will generate incorrect source when deparsing code that uses an array index offset. It will include both the pragma to set up the offset and the munged form of the affected operators. Either the pragma or the munging is required to get the index offset effect; using both will double the offset. Also, the code generated for an array each ( each(@a)) operation involves a custom operator, which B::Deparse can't understand, so the source it emits in that case is completely wrong. The additional operators generated by this module cause spurious warnings if some of the affected array operations are used in void context. Prior to Perl 5.9.3, the lexical state of array index offset does not propagate into string eval.

Eijaz Khan recounts his long battle with mental illness that almost derailed his acting career and left him alone as partners moved away. His parents’ separation when he was just four and a lifelong search for love and acceptance, triggered a long-overdrawn battle with mental illness for popular TV actor Eijaz Khan. Surprisingly, till six years ago, he was not even aware that he was ailing. “We have been socially conditioned to believe that boys don’t cry, so I didn’t. Instead, I grew up believing that my mom had left me because she didn’t love me and my father couldn’t accept me. I blamed myself for my parents’ fights and the anxiety eventually translated into anger issues,” he confides. When he discussed this with his then partner, just before they were to tie the knot, she advised Eijaz to see a therapist. He admits that though he went there just to prove a point to her, therapy changed him. “Till then, I was Eijaz Khan, the star, who was always right. But by the fourth meeting, I was talking about my childhood in third person, like it had happened to someone else,” he shares. Afraid to trigger those dark memories, he stopped going for therapy. But when forced to continue, he started taking medication that made him sleep 18 hours a day. “I got panic attacks, and for a person who hadn’t cried since he left his home at the age of 17, I was suddenly bawling for no particular reason,” Eijaz reminisces, adding that as a teenager, he had turned rebellious, and once, when his father slapped him, he stormed out of the house. “Now, I understand that he was just trying to be the best father he could,” he says emotionally. The toxicity Eijaz carried with him till he was almost 40 affected his own relationships as he was superimposing his insecurities on his partners. “I badly wanted them to stay with me, but not in a possessive way. If they tried to do anything independently my passive aggressive side would surface. I was so comfortable being unhappy that I’d do something to create that. I don’t blame my partners for leaving me and moving to a healthier life,” he acknowledges. Professionally, too, his work suffered as he identified with and surrounded himself with people who were low themselves and stopped meeting real friends or going for meetings. He would lock himself in a room, blacking out the windows, and not step out for three days. “From hating the world, I started hating myself. I tried to find what I didn’t have for real in the characters I played on screen. I would gravitate towards broken men with women in their lives who had gone away or were in some kind of a strained relationship or dead. I was validating my pain through them, thinking that when it ends for them, my pain would also go away,” Eijaz chokes up, admitting that the two years from 2015 to 2017 were the most traumatic. He started therapy again, but it wasn’t smooth going because he now started falling for his therapist and was visiting them for the wrong reasons. Eventually, he stopped going for his sessions and moved from Bandra to Powai to cut himself off from his earlier life. Fortunately for Eijaz, a close friend became his support during this tumultuous phase, calling him every day for a year just for a chat. And after a gap of two years, he went back to therapy and hasn’t stopped since. “Today, I understand that therapy makes you realise that things aren’t as bad as one might think. You are not scared to live anymore,” he asserts. Bring up the subject of Sushant Singh Rajput and Eijaz points out that the news led him to identify with him in that they were both dancers and from television. “Around 20 friends of mine called me up the day after Sushant’s death, saying it made them think of me. I slipped back into self-pity, wallowing in it for almost 16 hours a day for about a month. It affected me mentally and manifested itself physically,” he recounts. But then, he picked himself up again, and has been fighting since. “The lockdown forced me to be with and take care of myself. The biggest paradox is that while the world is tackling hardships, I would say that this has been the best phase of my life. Today, at 45, I am publicly talking about my issues and that makes me a winner. The stigma around mental health has to end, we need to start discussing it,” he signs off. Mirror Exclusive Photos: Masks on, Bollywood celebrities venture outdoors Bollywood is ready to 'Unlock' It's been months since we have all stayed indoors in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sanitising every shooting location, wearing of masks, thermal scanners, oximeters are now all a part of the shooting paraphernalia. Even when they are not shooting, Bollywood celebs are stepping out keeping all precautions in mind. Actors have also resumed their dance classes and the papz are now getting to see more celebs slowing stepping out, whether it's for shoots, jogs, walks or runs. Testing protocols for shoots are strict and producers and the crew are ensuring the norms laid down by the government are being followed as Bollywood gets ready to roll again.

If Norwich’s City’s season is to be prevented from its seemingly perpetual spiral into Championship oblivion, Delia Smith, Michael Wyn-Jones, Jez Moxey and co must be bold. They must acknowledge and come to terms with the fact that this incompetent City side were so comprehensively outplayed by David Wagner’s Huddersfield team on Friday night, visibly manifesting defensive ineptitude, a lack of creativity and movement and a midfield as overrun as Norwich’s streets for Christmas shopping during the festive period. But they won’t. The increasingly lost-looking Alex Neil was assured of his position as Norwich City manager prior to this week’s two pivotal games regardless of his team’s performances, further evidence of the board’s perplexing and unwavering loyalty to a manager who each week appears to be becoming more and more incapable of inspiring this underachieving team. I may have only just turned 20, but Friday night was as poor a City performance as I have seen for a long time. Our side dithered going forward, appeared static off the ball and all too frequently delineating profligacy in possession. Our build-up play was too lateral, posing no real threat and failing to penetrate what was an excellent, permanently-pressing Huddersfield team. City – for a full 90 minutes – were fundamentally inferior to their Yorkshire visitors. Huddersfield looked fitter, hungrier, more organised than this ageing and declining Norwich City side. Their Wagner-inspired press hurried our players, leading to the conspicuous mediocrity of Graham Dorrans and Yousouff Mulumbu at the base of our midfield. City’s holding players were completely absent in what was a chaotic first half, unforgivingly failing to cope with the away side’s terrific ball-retention and quicker, superior movement. The problems continued. The uninspiring and unstimulating duo of Robbie Brady and Jacob Murphy were fundamentally oblivious to their important defensive duties, steadfastly refusing to track back and therefore leaving City exposed. Huddersfield’s first came from Tom Smith being allowed such an alarming amount of room on the right hand side. This team lacks an identity. Throughout all of our unconvincing 22 games this season, what principles and ideals have characterised City? The only ones that spring to my mind are incompetence, defensive fragility and such a visible lack of creativity and spark. Our absence of ideas going forward was so striking. Once again, City’s build up play was slow and sideways, resembling something of a turning Indian cricket pitch that our country’s batsmen are struggling on so significantly this winter. But even at 3-0 down in Asia, England’s cricketers have probably performed better than City in recent weeks. And then there’s Alex Neil. City’s manager has come to constitute an isolated figure in his dugout, vociferously yet futilely commanding orders at his failing team. The Neil of late has demonstrated such considerable conservatism in his approach, lacking pragmatism and flexibility in the way he sets up his team. Carrow Road’s fervent and audible response to the departure of the tenacious Nelson Oliviera on Friday evening said it all. Having scored three excellent goals in three less than excellent City performances, Neil’s bizarre decision to deploy the returning Cameron Jerome for the Portuguese international when in fact the two needed to play together was as perplexing as it was frustrating. Like at Trafalgar in 1805, Nelson was needed to inspire victory. Neil’s concerning lack of pragmatism and instead his ardent maintenance of his 4-2-3-1 system remains a fundamental issue for this team. Losing 2-1 at home and in desperate need of a result to at least seek to trigger some sort of form, it doesn’t take a tactical genius to be aware of the vitality of employing two strikers. Yet Neil’s uncompromising and stubborn mentality prevailed. City fans could ask for no better Christmas present than Neil out and the young, impressive and hungry Gary Rowett in. Whilst such a notion dominated the post-match phone-in late on Friday night, those endorsing the case of Rowett are right: he is a superb young manager who possesses the ability to rejuvenate this ineffective Norwich side. It won’t happen though. The fact that the increasingly divisive Jez Moxey has never taken a club out of this league as a Chief Executive is so telling, whilst his unreasoned and directionless words of ‘promotion, promotion, promotion’ at this year’s AGM confused fans. His and the board’s unremitting persistence with the failing Neil could see City confined to the Championship wilderness. They must be aware of our frustration. On few occasions has Carrow Road responded so toxically to the sound of a full-time whistle as on Friday, whilst the response to Neil’s overtly conservative change on 65 minutes was justifiably hostile. To slightly distort the lyrics of a chant that echoed round Carrow Road in the second-half, Delia needs to sort it out. Manager and board aside, City looked unfit, undynamic, uncreative and fundamentally inferior to this developing Huddersfield side. Whilst our squad may not possess the level of talent we once perceived it did, these players are underperforming under the hapless Alex Neil. Defensive issues remain – City do not possess one dependable centre-half – but the most alarming thing that emerged on Friday was our lack of direction, purpose and creativity going forward. Laterality, slowness and disorganisation in the final third championed over notions of innovation, enterprise and penetration. So change is vital. Indeed, it is now almost universally desired. Two points from our eight games against top ten teams represents grim reading for City fans, and under Alex Neil, such an unpleasant run of form appears unlikely to be terminated. So, whilst I write my Christmas list this year, a new item – albeit a hopeful one given the board’s steadfastness – emerges. Forget books, clothes and the rest: all I want for Christmas is a new manager.

Take a few minutes and read Robert Koehler’s profound and inspiring story, BUILDING COMMUNITY, BUILDING PEACE (released October 12, 2011 – commonwonders.com.). It is somewhat difficult to read, as Bob reminds us of the horrors of gang violence and its tragic aftermath, using the senseless death of Fenger High School student, Derrion Albert. But as always with Bob and his stories, from dark despair he leads us to the light of solution. Bob’s story highlights Robert Spicer, the “culture and calm” coordinator at Fenger High School, and Spicer’s use of Restorative Justice practices to restore and build community. If Restorative Justice and its practices aren’t a part of your life experience, you can also visit the website www.restorativejusticeinaction.org. There you can view clips of Robert Spicer and other Restorative Justice Practitioners and the amazing RJ work they are doing in Chicago. This website will inspire you to learn more, and perhaps even encourage you to bring RJ into your community, work, school, home…begining a restorative way of life. And finally, take a look at the powerful short documentary, Concrete Steel & Paint, a film about crime, restoration and healing (Winner, Best Short Documentary 2011 Peace On Earth Film Festival), by filmmakers Cindy Bernstein and Tony Herzia (www.concretefilm.org). The film takes you into the center of the RJ process, slowly building to healing and restoration, as it is directly experienced by crime victims and offenders meeting inside prison walls. I hope one or all three of the above motivates you to explore bringing Restorative Justice practices into your corner of the world. Sometimes simply learning about a successful and tested practice like RJ can move us to action for the greater good. Peace!
