History of Laguna Woods:
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguna_Woods_Village):
Ross Cortese's early success in 1961 with Leisure World Seal Beach provided the concept of what would become Laguna Woods Village.[3] Cortese purchased several sites across the nation, including 3,500 acres (14 km2) rural of the Moulton Ranch, located in the Saddleback Valley of southern Orange County, California.
Construction of Laguna Woods Village began in the spring of 1963 with an initial phase of 530 units. The first ten homeowners moved into the community September 10, 1964.
Laguna Woods Village is an age-restricted community for active adults aged 55 and over. The development, formerly known as Leisure World, was developed by Ross Cortese.

Menu calendars are a staple to any school nutrition program. Whether they're available in print or online, parents at your school district check them regularly. The design of your menu calendars give you the opportunity to portray your program's personality while offering important information in a clear and concise way.
Here are 7 steps to help spice up the look and feel of your school menu calendars:
1.) Use consistent fonts and colors
It may seem tempting to use a variety of fonts and colors to add interest to your menus, but it can be distracting! One of the best ways to create a nice looking, clean design is consistency. Try limiting your design to using only 1-2 different fonts. Make sure to use typefaces that are easy to read and omit fonts that are more decorative
Use a similar rule of thumb for colors. You can play with colors to match the season/month or commit to a standard color scheme for your school. Consider using only 2-3 different colors to avoid making the calender look too busy.
And remember, when it comes to colors and fonts always consider readability! Many shades of yellow or orange can be hard to read once printed. It's also good practice to avoid using colored text on top of a colored background. For example, a blue font on a red background will likely be very hard to read.
2.) Make sure meal and item names make sense
Sometimes the default recipe names in your Menu Planning software can be a bit too descriptive for the purpose of your calendars. If you generate your menu calendars right from your Menu Planning software, make sure you change those default names to something more recognizable.
For example, if you have a recipe called 'TOASTED CHEESE SANDWICH:WW' consider using 'Grilled Cheese Sandwich' instead.
Have any themed days or holidays coming up? Don't be afraid to play around with the names of your meals to make options more enticing! Get some inspiration and check out this list of Creative, Fun & Descriptive Names for school meals from Smarter Lunchrooms Movement.
3.) Consider omitting daily offerings
Are there certain menu items that are offered daily? Consider leaving those off of each day's meal listings and make a general statement about their availability. This way each day has less items listed and your menus will look less busy.
For example, if you always serve a variety of condiments and milks, try using this statement at the bottom of your menu calendar to mention these items.
"A variety of condiments and milks are offered daily"
4.) Add fun header images
The header of your calendars is the perfect space to add some personality! Create custom imagery using Microsoft PowerPoint or work with your school's Art Department to create truly unique artwork for your calendar headers.
Do you use Mosaic Back of the House? Attend any Mosaic Menu Planning online training and you'll receive the official Menu Format Style Guide for access to custom header images you can add to your calendars right in Mosaic.
5.) Put important information at the top
Pricing, school name, contact information - this is all important information that your students' parents may need to know. So make sure it's easy to locate by putting it right at the top of your menus.
Are there certain questions you get calls about often, such as how to apply for free and reduced meals or how your program addresses food allergies? If space allows, consider adding some information that addresses those questions.
You can even cycle out this information based on the time of year. Include details about applications at the beginning of the year but swap it out for something more relevant afterwards.
6.) Don't forget to promote your social media accounts!
Does your school nutrition program have a Facebook page? Encourage parents to like your Facebook page or follow you on Twitter. Use icons for the social media networks your program is on at the bottom of your calendars to help promote your online presence.
7.) Include information about paying for meals online
If you allow parents at your school to pre-pay for meals online, make sure to put the web address and logo of your provider right on the menu itself. Getting the word out about online payments adds convenience for parents and helps speed up your serving lines in the cafeteria.
If your school uses MySchoolBucks, you can download the MySchoolBucks logo on Marketing Central to use on your school menus.
How does your school spice-up your monthly menu calendars? Let us know in the comments below or share your menu calendars with us on Facebook.

OMFG you guys! Oh my fucking god! That was amazing! Arrow wraps up the season in 35 amazing minutes, and then deals with the fallout!
Okay, so back to the start: Slade's men are just about to storm the Clocktower - Team Arrow's temporary HQ. Luckily the one-woman Cavalrly shows up to save the day in the form of Layla Michaels who torpedoes the building! Did I ever mention that I love Layla? Because I do. (And I love the adoring looks Dig gives her too. So adorable.)
While Team Arrow regroups at what's left of the Foundry (RIP Arrow cave, I really liked you) the other cavalry arrives: Nyssa Al Ghul and 6 of her best assassin pals are here to help and make this episode about 200% hotter (because it's the finale, just the regulars weren't cutting it). And to let Felicity bring the best line of the episode (again). She finished MIT and she ain't afraid of no demons.
The expanded team then sets off for Slade's base of operations (Queen Consolidated building) where a fight ends in Isabel's death (mid-monologue! this needs to be a new item on the drinking game) courtesy of Nyssa, in defiance of Oliver's no kill rule.
Meanwhile Slade goon #576 (and it feels like they were that many in spite of them repeatedly saying they were only about 40) kidnaps Laurel for Slade. So, after delievering a rousing speech to what's left of SCPD (which ranks somewhere between "Be brave!" and "Today we're cancelling the apocalypse!" on the Doomed Meter), Detective Lance meets with the Arrow to beg him to save Laurel (and remind him that killing the mirakuru!zombies might actually be the answer).
It's Felicity who manages to mobilize Oliver again (is this like... the 4th episode in a row?) and gives him the best idea on how to get close enough to Slade to deliver the cure. It involves setting her up as bait and one of the most heartbreaking scenes in this show. I believed that barely whispered "I love you" for a second there. Then I realized that something is off. This is TPTB deliberately playing with our hearts, but I'm kind of okay with it.
Aftwards the team (plus Det. Lance every step of the way!) takes on what's left of Slade's army who was trying to blow ARGUS blockade and get out of the city. At the same time Dig and Layla break into ARGUS to try and stop the drone Amanda Waller has fired at the city. They first break out Deadshot (and what appear to be some new members of the Suicide Squad) and try to storm the command room. That only ends in a Mexican standoff and the shocking news that Dig is going to be a father. For a second there I thought they might have gone for the ol secret!kid trope, but thankfully they're only doing that with Oliver.
Then we finally get to the part that we've been waiting for all season: the final showdown between Oliver and Slade. Felicity actually stabs Deathstroke in the neck with the cure after he has a her in a choke-hold and she and Laurel basically rescue themselves. The actual fight scene is impressive (as are all of them this episode, but by now I've come to expect that from Arrow) and paralleled by the showdown on the Amazo in the island flashbacks. It seems Oliver chose to kill Slade back then while he was pinned under falling metal beams and still threatening his family. I'm not sure how to feel about that. It was a bit underwhelming and considering the crushing weight of the debris I think delivering the cure might have a death sentence anyway. Just a slower, more painful one.
With all that going on, it's almost easy to forget that Thea shot Captain Barrowman at the end of last episode. Of course he's still wearing his kevlar from last season so he glleefuly gets back up and starts the "You truly are my daughter" spiel. I love Thea's eye-roll as she walks away leaving him mid-sentence. She then goes back to Roy (who can't remember what happened while he was under Slade's influence) and actually believes him when he doesn't know anything about the Arrow. Then she actually finds his bow and quiver and realized he was not entirely truthful. Yeah, no DUH. And then she decides to leave with Captain crazy-pants Barrowman, because of course she does. As I've said before. I am not opposed to Thea taking a few levels in bad-ass, but I really hate this plotline. Her boyfriend is a liar, but her crazy city-destroying biological father is somehow better? WTF, show?
One of my biggest pet peeves with season finales of all kinds is that while they do deliver the amazing earth-shattering events they usually end very soon after the climax, and season premieres usually start with some sort of time-jump or they continue with the whole episode right from where the cliffhanger left off and then just end. Which usually means the next episode is back to whatever the show does weekly with very little onscreen dealing with actual fallout. Arrow did something else entirely: ended the main plotline of the season in 35 minutes of non-stop action and then gave us 10 minutes of proper emotional wrap-up, as well as dealing with the stuff that happened. Not everything of course, but they addresses some of the immediate stuff: the relationship between Oliver and Slade, that conversation between Oliver and Felicity, the Canary situation.
First of all Sara goes back to the League with Nyssa, but this time by her own choice. As they're saying their goodbyes she gives Laurel her canary jacket. As I've said last time, I'm really okay with this. either Laurel temporarily doning the Canary costume or becoming Manhunter. Of course, as I also predicted last time, not everything can go well for the Lances, and the Detective has developed a sudden case of Contract Renegotiation. I really really hope they bring him back next season, it wouldn't be the same without him.
Oliver tells Slade that he's become a hero because he didn't kill him, but that's not really true, is it? Because heroes are not measured by whether they kill or not but by what they are willing to sacrifice for the greater good. And Oliver finally answered: everything. And Felicity's the person who helped him do that. I also kind of love that Slade is imprisoned on Lian Yu and Oliver actually tells him that.
Speaking of which - that really awkward conversation between Oliver and Felicity at the end. Ow, my heart. I ship it - hard, so that was heartbreaking. That after all this Oliver still can't get his head outa his ass about being with Felicity. That wistful look on his face. But then I get it - Oliver isn't quite there yet for a very serious relationship.
Anyway, season 3 promises a lot of amazing things. Like regular doses of Barrowman chewing up scenery! Little!Dig! More Suicide Squad! And most likely a Flash crossover ep, right around midseason. Hiatus is going to be hell.

Here is the first of many 'easy, vegan' recipes I plan to share with you. I want to show people how easy, cheap and convenient eating vegan can be, so if the ingredients can't be found in the local supermarket, it's not going in. There really is no need to hunt down raw cacao or do all your food shopping at Whole Foods. Cooking vegan is easy as 1, 2, 3....
So first up is this Easy Vegan Spag Bol, I used to love making this when I was a meat-eater, but the vegan version is cheaper, quicker to cook and more healthy (less fat and more veg!) The recipe takes around 30minutes in totally, from chopping board to serving up.
This easy, vegan spaghetti bolognese is a little less tomato-y than the classic spaghetti bolognese, it's more smokey and rich in flavour...I hope that makes sense and doesn't sound too budget Nigella!
Here's the ingredients you'll need (feel free to skip things out, add more, substitute items...make it yours). This batch I made using the whole vegan soy mince pack, made enough for around 4-6 people, depending on how big you like your dinner ;)
- 1 pack of vegan soy mince (even though this one says vegetarian, it's suitable for vegans)
- Vegetable oil
- Carton on chopped tomatoes
- Squeeze of tomato puree
- Large glass of red wine
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- Lots of garlic
- About 5-6 mushrooms
- Teaspoon of Marmite
- Nutritional yeast
- Italian herb seasoning
- Dairy free milk
- Salt & pepper
- Dried pasta
- Green veg for the side
Heat the oil and add in the crushed garlic and a sprinkle of Italian herb seasoning. Let this simmer as you chop up the onion, carrot and mushrooms (into small cubes if you can be arsed).
Add in all the veg, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and the soy mince. You might have to wait for the soy mince to defrost a little before breaking it down in the pan.
Once the vegan mince and veggies are all mixed in together add the wine, a sprinkling of nutritional yeast and teaspoon of Marmite.
Simmer on a low heat for around 15 minutes, before adding a splash of dairy free milk (this makes it really creamy). Have a little taste and add salt and pepper. If it tastes a little acidic-y this is probably from the tomatoes, so half a teaspoon of sugar mixed in will help balance this out.
Leave to simmer for a further 10 minutes and get the green side veg and pasta on.
I've also shared this method on one of my daily vlogs, to watch how I made this Easy Vegan Spag Bol, click HERE.

A monogrammed piece of jewelry from jenny present® is a great gift to give or receive. Not sure how to place the letters of a monogram? It can be a little tricky. See our monogram guide below.Traditional Monogram:
Please take special care when wearing and storing your delicate piece. Make sure to store jewelry in an airtight bag away from sunlight to help keep metal's luster. Polish with a soft jewelry cloth when luster begins to fade. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairspray. Do not wear your jewelry while showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping or cleaning. Please, follow these steps to ensure your jewelry lasts for years to come.
Our brass pendants feature a clear nano-coating that helps protect the jewelry from tarnishing. Over time the coating will wear off. When this happens, a polishing cloth may be used to restore the jewelry's luster.
The Sunshine® Cloth, available here through jenny present®, is a perfect way to polish your sterling silver, gold, and brass jewelry, but is not recommended for use on gold plated items. To ensure a longer lasting gold finish on gold plated pieces avoid excess wiping or rubbing. Too much rubbing will cause the layer of gold to wear off. If necessary, use a soft cotton cloth, warm water, and a tiny bit of mild liquid soap to clean gold plated jewelry. Be sure not to use a paper towel, for this can damage the gold plating.
The Sunray™ Liquid Jewelry Cleaner, available here through jenny present®, is ideal for cleaning all of your sterling silver, silver-plated, gold-plated, gold filled, brass, and copper jewelry.

Termites, Rotting Take Down Power Poles
New York City firefighters said 60 homes lost power when termites and rotting caused five utility poles to collapse.
Electricity provider Con Ed said the poles were taken out by a truck Tuesday, but firefighters said they had no evidence to support the truck claim and the poles showed signs of termites and dry rot, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Residents said the poles had been showing signs of rotting for months and they had repeatedly complained to Con Ed.
No injuries were reported but one car was smashed by a pole. Power was restored to the neighborhood Tuesday night.

A hasty decision to move to the cloud can lead to trouble. There needs to be a substantial, comprehensive process. What factors should your organization consider in that process? This Article will give you valuable insight into finding the right answers for your specific needs. In the Article, We will talks about the importance of your organization understanding why a transition to the cloud is being considered and making sure the company's business goals match up to solutions and strategy that you decide upon.
Your organization must undertake to maximize the probability that the choices you're making regarding are the correct ones. This Article offers value insight into a process that has helped many organizations decide upon a strategy that enables them to grow and strive.
There are different things, and obviously we can get into this a little bit more as we continue, but understanding just the basic differences within the cloud offerings is very confusing today. There is no set standard, when you look at each organization, every organization has their own unique aspects to it, and those aspects relate to the application and services they're providing, to the infrastructure and other areas. So when you look at a company's overall IT department, and IT gets asked by some executive within the organization that, "hey, why don't we close the data center and move to the cloud?" That has some significant ramifications to the business. Cloud sizing is not something that there's always a common answer for, every environment is unique, you need to look at those unique demands within your business before you can understand it.
There's a series of different considerations or best practices that need to be understood before you can really go into even selecting a cloud provider, let alone putting together a migration project, and that can be very complicated on all the different offerings that cloud providers have, and being that there is no standard, each one of them has their unique characteristics. And then you also get into the aspect of we often hear, well, if I'm going to move these migrations to the cloud, I want to optimize these applications, or I want to update them, or I want to make changes to them, or other factors, and the reality of it is, you really should look at moving those applications to the cloud when they're cloud ready, making that migration, and then using the cloud to be more for your capacity planning, and for the utilization of that application, or things where you can turn off your time in the cloud so that you can conserve your financial costs, and other factors with it, make the best benefit of it. So, all of those types of things are really different areas that an organization should really talk about, should really understand, and really should compare before they consider making a move to the cloud solution.
The market itself creates confusion around cloud computing, right? You have almost every single marketing program out there, when you start to look at the product companies, and the service companies, has the word cloud in it, and what does cloud mean?
A cloud storage solution is one thing, a cloud software as a solution is completely different from another cloud offering. There's public cloud, there's hybrid cloud, there's private cloud, now I just heard community cloud as the latest term that you're hearing lately. There's infrastructure as a service, software as a service, platform as a service, and there's infrastructure as a service for only storage, or there's infrastructure as a service for an entire stack from servers all the way through.

"All of our growth has been outside the U.S.," PlexiDor CEO Joe Ambrose says.
Joe Ambrose comes from a family that built automotive dashboards and ceiling panels in Michigan.
American manufacturing is in his blood.
So when he graduated from Trinity University in Texas and moved to Florida with his wife, Ambrose sent out 600 mailers to manufacturers across the Sunshine State, asking if they wanted to sell their businesses.
Two weeks and 20 meetings later, the young entrepreneur struck a deal with a couple from Bradenton to buy their pet door company. That was two decades ago, and PlexiDor, of which Ambrose now is CEO, has not stopped growing since.
"I grew up around manufacturing," Ambrose said. "I have a real passion for cranking out things. I'm always looking at products, just thinking 'How can I make 10,000 of these?' "
PlexiDor makes composite pet doors designed to resist damage from sunlight, extreme temperatures and high impacts.
The saloon-style swing door panels are popular among the frigid towns of Canada and other areas where the difference between Ambrose's door and his competitors is 10 percent off an electric bill.
Since Ambrose took over the company in 1994, his sales have risen 20-fold.
He has grown the business from four basic products to a line of more than 50, while moving from 700 square feet to the 9,000-square-foot headquarters it now occupies. The company is even looking for a new facility that is closer to 20,000 square feet.
Ambrose declined to cite specific revenue or an exact payroll count.
But the company now sells pet doors to major distributors around the world -- with his best sales originating outside the U.S.
PlexiDor is still not quite as big as companies around Ambrose's roots near Detroit, and likely never will be. But Ambrose relies on the techniques he learned from four generations of Michigan manufacturers in his work at his production facility at 4523 30th St. W, in Bradenton.
"We are always trying to minimize the steps, and when you do that, your quality is actually improving," Ambrose said. "The less you touch the product, the less chance you have to scratch it. When we pull our products off the line, you don't even have to clean them."
During the past two decades, PlexiDor saw steady growth of about 20 percent each year. But, like manufacturers of other durable goods, the company took a beating during the Great Recession.
Instead of pulling back, however, Ambrose hired a pair of business consultants from Chicago to study the company's operation.
"We didn't need a new product," Ambrose said. "We needed new customers because our old way of doing things wasn't working anymore."
At the end of their visit, the consultants sat down with Ambrose in his office and scolded him for never leaving Bradenton.
During the company's infancy, the CEO regularly took trips around the world to promote his products at trade shows and network with industry insiders.
But having raised a family and focused on PlexiDor's daily operations, Ambrose realized he had not taken one of those trips in 14 years.
He hopped on the next flight he could, bound for a trade show in Canada, then Switzerland, then the United Kingdom. His sales immediately doubled.
"Turns out they were right," Ambrose said. "All of our growth has been outside the U.S. Now, we need more elbow room. We have doubled in the last four years, and we project to double again in the next two years."
PlexiDor makes a variety of higher-end pet doors that range in price from $163 to $1,249. The products are mostly sold to distributors, who work with authorized dealers around the globe.
The doors are made from composite panels -- developed by the company -- that are designed to be sturdy and to seal weather out.
Unlike most standard pet doors, which are made from a mud-flap material, Ambrose's products open like old-time Western saloon doors and shut tightly.
With certain models, a pet can even wear a collar that signals the doors to open and close so the animal can come and go as easily as a driver with a garage door opener.
The company's estimate that its doors save pet owners up to 10 percent on their energy bills could be worth as much as $1,200 over five years.
"The bottom line is our door works," Ambrose said. "Our competitors have been around 50 years, and they haven't changed. They have been beat up by the Home Depots and the Lowe's of the world -- which dictate the market.
"That's like saying I know I need a kitchen door, but we can save some money if we just tack up a shower curtain."
Barbara Cook was interested in a pet door at her Sarasota home for her six show dogs.
The Weimaraners, a breed of German hunting dogs, can now go in and out without Cook having to get out of her seat every few minutes.
But it was the door's ability to keep the air-conditioned air in and hot air out that sold her.
"I would have never put in a door if I hadn't seen this one," she said. "It gets a lot of use, that's for sure."
PlexiDor joins a growing number of manufacturers in Florida that specialize in doors and windows, with two-thirds of all doors and windows that are made in the U.S. now being built in the Sunshine State, trade records show.
That includes local manufacturing giants PGT in Venice and IRISS, a specialty window manufacturer that has built a new global headquarters in Lakewood Ranch.
Manufacturers attribute that to the construction industry here, which is more active than in many other states.
"It's the supply chain," said Peter Straw, executive director of the Sarasota Manatee Manufacturers Association.
"The closer you are to your market, the lower your costs are. And who has more construction going on than Florida? It's a natural fit for logistics purposes."

Trafalgar Square, 3pm.
While casually walking along my usual route back to Northumberland avenue, I see a crowd gathered around the National Gallery. Standing in the middle of a half circle is a tall man with messy mad-scientist-like blonde hair talking through a microphone and and making people laugh with his witty humor. And the best part, I arrive just in time to hear him announce the removal of his shirt, confidently stating "you are about to see the best specimen to walk on this earth." After much anticipation, neither me nor the crowd gathered could help laughing when finally he took of his shirt to expose a pot belly and a tattoo across his back that said "showbusiness".
Who is this strange entertainer you might wonder? He is Matthew Valentine, a street performer and one of the many acts stationed outside the Galley.But everyone knew that Matthew wasn't out merely to show off his flexibility (he stuck his whole body through a tennis racket); he was there to make people happy, and he made sure of it.
And that's the beauty of it. In a city where entertainment comes at a cost, with elaborate theaters and expensive shows, London will find a way to bring a smile to people's faces. Kids, lovers, tourists, locals- everyone is invited. A few feet away, a young musician was singing and playing covers of hit songs on his guitar. No one was gathered around him unlike the other performers, but I shyly walked over to him and dropped a few coins into his guitar case. He was in mid-song but he managed to squeeze a "thank you very much" into his verse, flashing a smile as I walked away.

I've been in love with this print ever since I saw it for the first time last spring. From Ladies Stitching Club collection by Oliver+S.
Better with the red or the gold sweater? You know I'm so bad at decisions.
Love the way the pockets pop out on their own even when there are no hands in them. The pattern is just a very simple flat-front / elastic-back rectangle skirt with roughly 4x my waist circumference. It's super-duper full. I've always felt that if you're going to go full, you should go ALL OUT dudes. One last shot here, you can see a bit of the waistband:
UPDATE: this skirt was an early prototype for the Cleo Skirt pattern, now available
in my shop!

The original inspiration of this post came from the concept of color blocking. It isn't something that we have fully seen transition to weddings just yet, but it is all over the fashion industry and well, it is only a matter of time!
What started as a post in color blocking simply turned into a whole lotta color and some of the fabulous things you can do with it. I swear, I used to be all about white, cream and ivory when it came to weddings (yes, I know those are essentially all the same color) but I feel like I have become infused with color after a long dry spell.
You want to know why I didn't want a whole lot of color in my wedding? I was seriously afraid of it. Seriously and truly afraid. When you have the options of color, ummm you have like a ga-jillion options! How do you choose? How do you pick colors that match with other colors? I know this sounds kind of dumb, but it really what went through my head.
I stuck to what I knew, white was what I knew, and I had muted tones everywhere. I kind of wish I spruced things up a lot more, but at least I had some fabulous florals to brighten things up. If any of you brides are feeling how I felt, don't let it stop you from creating something fabulous. Because as pretty as white is, color is much more fun.
If any of you agree with me on being scared colorless (I just made that up...and I really like it!) then please do let me know and I can help you with some colorful details that fit your style and plans. I wouldn't want you to miss out on some colorful additions because you felt like I did.

Allscripts dbMotion 5.0 has been tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Certification Body program. This EHR software is compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"Managing transitions of care is an essential component to Meaningful Use Stage 2," said Paul M. Black, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. "dbMotion serves as the digital key to unlock the open exchange of critical patient information across disparate systems. With this certification, providers can rest assured they are using a solution that will help them and their communities achieve Meaningful Use Stage 2 while enhancing patient care and lower costs."
Drummond Group's ONC-ACB certification program certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology – a key component of the federal government's push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.
Allscripts dbMotion 5.0, which met the requirements for both Modular Ambulatory and Modular Inpatient certification, provides a strategic platform for care coordination and population health management that integrates discrete patient data from diverse care settings, regardless of IT supplier, into a single patient record. It provides a longitudinal clinical data repository with semantically harmonized patient data, point of care workflow tools, a physician portal, population health tools and an analytics gateway. This reduces the cost of care delivery and enables better physician-to-physician care coordination.
"Leveraging information technology for healthcare initiatives provides the opportunity to deliver a high-level quality of care and efficiency which essentially benefits and enhances the overall [Read more…]

When a new application is created in a Lotus Notes 7, 8 or 8.5 client or on a Lotus Domino 7, 8 or 8.5 server, the on-disk structure (ODS) remains at 43, which is the ODS version introduced in Notes/Domino 6. The on-disk structure has been upgraded in Notes/Domino 8.5 to the new ODS version of 51. However, it is not enabled by default for new or upgraded applications. This default behavior deliberately avoids forcing ODS upgrades during DB compact, which can be unexpectedly time-consuming. Running 'compact' against the application will not upgrade the ODS unless CREATE_R85_DATABASES=1.
There is no UI equivalent for this setting.
To allow compression of document data or consolidation of attachments through the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS), NSFs must be at least ODS 51.
If CREATE_R85_DATABASES is absent or set to 0, then the file format of any new or compacted database will default to ODS version 43
Add CREATE_R85_DATABASES=1 to NOTES.INI to enable ODS 51 as the default. New applications and updated applications (via 'load compact -c') will now be upgraded to the new ODS. This is strongly recommended because of the significant performance improvements built into ODS 51.
This configuration is valid for Domino 8.5 and beyond
A server restart may be necessary in order for this change to take effect.
Related Settings:
Domino Configuration Tuner:
This setting is included in the DCT catalog of best practices.
CREATE_R85_DATABASES enables ODS 51
It seems it is only after I added this notes.ini-setting also on my client machine that new databases get the ODS51-foirmat. Is this correct? Or is it by design that it takes a certain number of minutes before the server reads the notes.ini-setting on the server?
Is '-c' the only compact option that will trigger the ODS upgrade?
We don't use the -c option in any of our scheduled compactions.
found reason for crash
Found out in the meantime that crash not occurs when editing notes.ini with notepad instead of a profesional edit. Maybe a codepage problem ?(editor converts text file on opening)
Setting crashes Client 8.5 on Vist64 ..
and forces new installation. The error message is " You can not run Client an Server ....."
Yes, the D8.5 ODS is 51
Yes, there had been a beta with ODS 50.
The body of the main post has been updated.
ODS 51 as of Beta2
Maybe it was 50 for Beta1?
ODS 50 or 51
Both ODS 50 and 51 are mentioned in the text. Which is correct ?

Helen McCarthy of Living Lightly Peterborough recently married her best friend in a beautiful ceremony in the middle of the forest. What was particularly impressive, was that she managed to organize a stunning, environmentally conscious event, with zero-waste decor. Helen foraged all of her flowers locally in an effort to reduce the environmental and economic impact that weddings typically have. This included vibrant displays of goldenrod strung throughout their venue and a bouquet made of freshly picked goldenrod, Queen Anne's lace, wheat and lavender. While working on the bride's hair, Helen's hair stylist looked at the flowers in alarm and said, "Oh no! I'm allergic to ragweed, I won't be able to use that!"
Many people have a similar reaction to goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) because they mistakenly blame it for allergies which are caused by ragweed (Hymenoclea), a plant that frequently grows nearby. However, it is actually impossible for goldenrod to be the culprit of seasonal allergies, because its pollen is too heavy and sticky to be carried on the wind. Not only that, but goldenrod is actually a potent antidote for allergies. It contains a constituent called quercetin which acts as an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.
I love learning the botanical names of plants because they often give you information about the plant itself. The genus name Solidago comes from the Latin words solida meaning "whole" and ago meaning "to make," so the literal meaning of the name is "to make whole." There are many species of goldenrod, and all are safe and edible for consumption, however Solidago canadensis is considered the best tasting and most medicinal.
Without knowing a plant very well, there are often many clues which will offer you information about what the plant can be used for. The taste of goldenrod for example is somewhat astringent, a little spicy, and quite bitter. Astringency often has a drying effect (usually caused by tannins), which can aid in drawing together broken skin. Dried and powdered, goldenrod leaves can be used to stop bleeding. Consumed as a strong tea, the aerial tops of goldenrod (including leaves and flowers) can help stop internal hemorrhage and influence menstruation.
Spiciness often indicates antiviral, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antifungal properties and would make me guess the plant is good for infections. Combined with the drying effect, I know that goldenrod is good for colds, flu, candida overgrowth, urinary tract infections, and for healing coughs and drying excess phlegm. Spiciness also often has a numbing effect, which is a good indicator that the plant may be an effective analgesic. Goldenrod can be made into a tea, or infused into a honey, or the flowers can be chewed on to soothe sore throats. It can also aid kidney function and can be used as a diuretic to help with kidney stones.
Generally, bitterness is an indication of the medicinal properties of a plant. Spice and bitter frequently aid in digestion, which means goldenrod can be used for colic and to relieve flatulence. Bitter helps to produce bile and therefore often supports liver function. Typically, when I taste bitter I know to use a plant a bit more sparingly, as a medicine or nutritive tonic rather than as the main portion of my diet. Goldenrod can be a lovely addition to salads or cooked greens, and the edible flowers can be used to adorn cakes in the summertime.
It is always interesting to observe the taste of your foods and think about how the flavours are often indicative of medicinal and nutritional properties. If you pay close attention, you might start to notice the effects. Even the most common foods often affect us in ways we may not have previously noticed.
Like many other "warm" coloured flowers, the yellow colour of the plant suggests that goldenrod likely captures the energy of the sun. Goldenrod flowers can be made into a hydrosol, or the roots can be pounded into a poultice to soothe sore muscles. Taken internally, the quercetin (among other constituents) is known to potentially reduce symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and depression, brightening your day like the sun.
Although goldenrod pollen is not airborne and does not cause hay fever, some people have a contact allergy and may develop a rash with extensive handling of the plant. Caution is also advised when consuming aerial parts of the plant if you have allergies to the Asteraceae family. However this can often be avoided by making a tincture with the root rather than the flowers.
For this post, we decided to make a goldenrod vinegar. There are a variety of menstruums or solvents used in making herbal medicines and each one has different strengths and weaknesses as it will extract different constituents from the plant. The wonderful thing about an herbal vinegar (also called an acetum) is that it extracts both medicinal and nutritional properties. While a tincture made with alcohol is excellent for extracting medicinal properties and will last longer than a vinegar, the alcohol often destroys the nutrient content of the plant.
Goldenrod vinegar makes a great nutritive and medicinal tonic which can be used for improving mineral balance, it is great for immune system function, and can help in eliminating flatulence, regulating blood sugar levels and preventing kidney stones.
- aerial tops of goldenrod (including leaves and flowers, ideally before they begin to develop pollen)
- apple cider vinegar
- fill your jar with coarsely chopped goldenrod leaves and flowers
- fill to the top with apple cider vinegar
- seal the lid tightly and allow the bottle to sit in a cool, dark place for several weeks (make sure to use a plastic or rubber lid or place several layers of plastic between the jar and metal lid, as vinegar erodes metal)

This uke came to me with a broken headstock from being dropped.
This is a Gretsch concert ukulele, although the body looks soprano-sized. The label says 9100-L, which the interwebz tell me is a long-neck soprano.
The Gretsch website claims that the neck is mahogany, but that doesn't look like any mahogany I've seen before. Whatever it is, it's a nice clean break. Unfortunately it's right through the tuner holes. You can see above where one of the tuners is trying to pull out of the neck. That could be due to the drop, or maybe it was just getting worn.
Here it is after I removed the tuners.
I almost never use a brush for glue, but I did this time to make sure I covered the entire surface of the joint. I thinned the glue (regular old Titebond PVA) with just a bit of water to get it to flow better.
Mashing it together with fingers shows just a little bit of squeeze-out, which is good.
I used C-clamps to attach these alignment cauls so the repair would be in line front-to-back. The cause are scrap wood covered in wax paper. If you watch the Stew-Mac videos they have fancy clear acrylic for this, but I seem to be out at the moment.
The quick-grip clamps provide pressure for the glue joint.
Now I need to let it dry overnight.
Guess I might as well clean up and lube the tuners while I have them off.
Well, that doesn't look too terribly bad. I can clean it up a bit.
Looks better from the side. I've also pressed the tuner bushings back down, as they were a bit proud of the surface. I also replaced a couple of chips around the tuner screw holes and reinforced the holes with CA (superglue) as the wood seemed pretty soft.
(Just as an aside, the real professional way to fix stripped tuner screw holes is probably to drill them out and insert a plug, then drill new pilot holes. And perfectly match the old finish. Next best is to glue a toothpick in there for the screw to bite into. But I think CA should be okay for this.)
I guess I may as well clean it up a bit before I put strings on it. I've already done some touchup on the headstock joint – removing dried glue, and staining the crack with a furniture repair marker to darken it. (It's alcohol-based stain, which is probably similar to what was used originally.) I also oiled the fretboard with lemon oil.
The G and A string slots were awfully tight, so I widened them just a hair. I polished the saddle with 2000 grit sandpaper, also. (Gretsch says it's bone, but it sure does seem soft.)
I'll trim these after the strings have had time to stretch out. I put GHS Hawaiian black nylon on, because that's what I had on hand. It was delivered with Aquila Nylgut – which is my go-to string also – but the A had broken and I didn't have a spare.
Now we wait to see if it explodes (unlikely) or stays in one piece. Then I'll tune it up, trim the ends, and send it back home. It'll take a week or so for the strings to finish stretching, but from what I can tell, it sounds pretty good.

Anti-depressants have the side effect of hair loss. The materials in a few of the anti-depressants purpose your hair loss. Talk to your doctor and notice if that you could swap to a medication that is not going to make your prescription to at least one which doesn't motive hair loss.

Last night I heard Anna Sadler give a talk about her recent work; the latest in the Penryn-based Independent School of Art series. Anna's project, The Other Foreign Body: camera as probe, reminded me of some of the questions I've been asking about medical listening in my current research project. Her use of the camera in the piece Mouth Endoscopy provides a subtle visual counterpart to some of the work by Christof Migone that I've been looking at over the past two years. It also set me thinking about the relationship between techniques of medical imaging and techniques of medical listening, particularly as they might be co-opted for creative arts practice. I scribbled down a few notes:
The work I am reminded of most is Migone's Evasion, or how to perform a tongue escape in public (2000). In this work, the performer is required to stick out his/her tongue as far as, and for as long as, possible, a move that Brandon LaBelle describes as delving into the 'viscous materiality of the mouth.' He argues that the work 'exemplifies Migone's practice: by uncovering an inside that suggests a different outside.' As LaBelle points out, the work is intimately (tongue)tied to orality, implying the voice through exposing its fleshy, physical origins.
Mouth shapes. Correspondences between the shape of the lips and the position of the tongue. How are these understood by the eye when the ear has no part to play? Can the eye only understand as an implicit ear, the body unable to disassociate completely from memories of moving its own mouth, from the feeling of forming sound?
Mouth as opening to the interior of the body, something to be 'looked into'. In sound works, the mouth and its sounds are always over-written with the potential for speech? Sadler's work forestalls the possibility of diagnosis via the speech of the patient describing her symptoms and revealing both the interior of the body and the interiority of subjective experience. Thus while the materiality of the flesh is emphasised, it remains mute, impenetrable, and caught by the inability of the camera to reveal the body beyond the oral cavity. The lens reveals, but also silences.
There's a lot to reflect on, and no doubt some of my thoughts and questions are naïve and poorly articulated, but this is definitely something I want to come back to. Perhaps I will do some proper research and try to get it all down in a longer essay.
In the meantime anyone interested in the relationship between medicine and the arts might want to check out Clod Ensemble's Performing Medicine project.
Performing Medicine provides training to medical students and healthcare practitioners using the performing and visual arts (at undergraduate, postgraduate and at professional development level). We also curate events for the general public which engage with issues at the heart of medicine and healthcare.
As well as some wonderful performances, there are a number of workshops running during November and December. Topics include: Anatomy Through Movement, Anatomical Drawing, and The Poetic Body.

Financement du secteur privé
Projects with private sector participation that reached financial close in 2017, as recorded in the Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) project database*, totalled $5.2bn. Of this, $2.3bn (45%) was privately financed.
This is a significant increase in investment compared to 2016 when total project investment amounted to $3.6bn, of which $2.5bn was private capital. The investments in 2017 were lower than the $8.5bn recorded in 2015 but slightly higher than the $5.1bn reported in 2014.
The majority of projects – 41 out of 45 – that reached financial close in 2017 were in the energy sector. The remaining projects include three in the transport sector and one in the water sector. The 45 projects in 2017 is a marked increase on 2016, when only 12 projects reach financial close.
The regions receiving the most private sector investment were North Africa (49%) and West Africa (30%).

The new Russian anti-radar materials The Russian researchers go further for developing more advances compounds and technologies for an anti-radar covering. As it's well known, the airframe and the shipframe stealth geometry gives only a partial answer for the contemporary radar development. Only the centimeter and millimeter long radar waves are effectively deflected by such method while the L-band radars progress is remained the growing treat for military devices. Other complimentary methods are composite use and covering.
The usually used antiradar materials are the resins and paints with ferromagnetic. The new nano-metric anti-radar covering is much more light and stable. It's made with magneto-dielectric layering 2-80 nm thick on a high temperature-steady material. The radar-absorption is about 10 Db in 8-80 GHz diapason, i.e. lg (P1/P2) = 1, while P1 – is the incoming radar power and P2 – the reflected. By the formula with these materials the RCS can be reduced 10 times. Its relative mass is as 1 – 1.5 kg/m2. High resistance against climatic factors is provided. They have the one-layer structure instead of usually 5-6.
This new technology can be used not only for RCS reducing, but for side-lobe radiation reducing on the radars, raising their effectiveness. The military electronics can be defended from radio splashes and an unsanctioned communication access by this way. Personal isolation from the dangerous radar microwaves can be provided too by this method.
The potential of this technology allows creating ant-radar materials with working diapason of 1 – 300 GHz. The implementation of it on the 4th+ generation fighters' fleet could prolong its service while the 5th generation planes are yet to be produced or too costly for some customers.

Estate planning is a dynamic process. Over time, changes in family circumstances, changes in laws, and even changes in one's philosophy regarding wealth transfers can make redoing one's estate plan desirable. Some of these dynamic circumstances include: changes in wealth, later-life marriages and remarriages, the recent flood of increasingly complex (and uncertain) tax laws and the growing popularity and usefulness of lifetime irrevocable trusts. Any of these changes may increase the likelihood that your estate plan will need some sort of change or "fix" over the years. Accordingly, clients and their advisors, increasingly, are looking for ways to modify existing estate plans, particularly focusing on irrevocable trusts, when circumstances change. Further, with more frequency than attorneys feel comfortable admitting, errors in existing documents may surface requiring corrective action. So, is there a "do-over" button in estate planning? Definitely maybe!
The good news is that, as the need for the revamping of estate plans grows, the techniques for fixing "broken" estate plans also have expanded. Of course, keep in mind that revocable arrangements such as wills and revocable trusts, typically, are easy to fix as long as the settler/testator is alive and competent. Unfortunately, documents are perfect while sitting in a vault, and their problems often come to light only after death.
State law governs wills and trusts. State law, therefore, dictates how and when the terms of these instruments can be changed or modified. There are several methods for effecting changes in irrevocable estate planning documents. The four principal methods –construction, reformation, amendment and decanting – are discussed below. Decanting is of most interest; but first I want to touch on the legal processes known as construction, reformation and amendment.
Construction court proceedings, generally, are used to correct an ambiguity in the will or the trust document, or when there are no provisions for a particular contingency. For example, an obvious ambiguity is when two different heirs are listed in different parts of the document as the intended recipient of the same bequest, or when the document has provisions for a gift of a piece of property that was never owned by the decedent. Generally, the court tries to read the document in the way that makes the most sense given the apparent intention of the document. If that fails, there are statutory preferences for construction to facilitate the reading of documents, such that they are consistent with the decedents' general dispositive provisions. The intended outcome of a construction proceeding is that the court is deciding what the document actually means.
Reformation is a court proceeding generally used to fix mistakes or errors. It is not used to clear up an ambiguity but to clear up an unambiguous document that is not accomplishing what was intended. Reformations are often triggered by "scrivener's errors"–basically, mistakes made by the lawyer drafting the document. A scrivener's error can be something simple like the misspelling of names or it can be something much more egregious, like leaving out a clause that allows a trust to qualify for a specific tax treatment (e.g. the marital deduction). Reformations can, retroactively, change documents, but they may not always be effective in undoing tax consequences that occurred as result of the error.
Amendments are fairly straightforward. Revocable trusts effectively allow for amendments; irrevocable trusts generally don't. However, recent, well drafted, irrevocable trusts, generally, will allow amendments for administrative matters or situs issues that do not impact the dispositive provisions. In other words, if certain investments need to be made or the trust needs to be moved to a state with more favorable laws, an irrevocable trust can often be modified to achieve these goals.
Decanting is not limited to what is done to a hearty French wine. With trust documents, the decanting process consists of pouring one irrevocable trust into another irrevocable trust which has different, more appropriate terms; a sophisticated technique for fixing problems that may exist in a document. Unfortunately, only about a dozen or so states (including New York) have decanting statutes; but there are also common law arguments and clever drafting approaches that may allow for the same result.
Although, certainly, not a "blank check," there are a number of problems that decanting can "fix," some of which also can be fixed utilizing the previously mentioned techniques:
- Update or modify trust provisions.
- Improve trust administration or management.
- Correct drafting errors.
- Address changed circumstances.
- Remove unworkable restrictions.
- Change provisions relating to trust powers and trustee succession.
- Achieve tax savings.
- Change trust situs.
- Combine or divide trusts.
- GST Planning.
Since decanting generally does not involve the courts, the time and cost savings, along with the myriad of issues that can be addressed, make decanting a very attractive solution to "broken" or sub-optimal estate plans. In modern planning, well designed trusts often include a decanting clause which can eliminate the reliance on state statute – especially as most states have yet to adopt decanting statutes.
As you probably have surmised, the process of "fixing" an estate plan is highly technical and will always necessitate expert advice. The important take away, however, is that, in modern estate planning, there often are multiple ways to undue an inappropriate or outdated plan – even when the structure used was irrevocable. Further, with estate laws in flux, decanting provisions may give some comfort to families that are hesitant to engage in long-term planning for fear of changing ground rules. As there exists an important window for estate planning during the remainder of 2012, the increasing ability to press the "do-over" button should further motivate those so inclined to plan now.
