DIY – How-to Paint A Diamond Pattern On Living Room Wall
Is your living room looking a little blah? Want to add a little plash of color to a bedroom, office, or your dining room? This diamond pattern living room painting how-to is easy and FAST! We took a 90 inch wide by 104 inch high section of my living room and painted this Do It Yourself diamond pattern on it in 2 hours. That includes the drying time for the paint! You can easily do this painting DIY over the weekend with a friend.
I chose a wall in my living room to paint. I already liked the color that was there, but I wanted to add a blue/grey paint to it. I like the contrast of the tan/blue. If you do not already like the color of the wall you will be painting, paired with the color of the diamonds that you want, this will take longer. You will first need the entire area you will be putting the diamond design onto to be painted the color you want to show through. Like I said, I already like the tan color I had on the wall, so this cut down on application time for me. If you are painting from scratch this will be a two day project, just to be safe.
What you will need –
- measuring tape
- pencil (do NOT use a pen they bleed through paint)
- 1 1/2 inch painter tape
- paint brush
- tarp to cover floor
- paint
- 6 foot ladder
- and a friend to help
Step 1 – Measure your wall. y wall is 104 inches high and 91 inches wide. This will decide how wide/tall your diamond pattern will be. I wanted more diamonds horizontally than vertically. So, the width of my diamonds are 21 1/2 inches. This takes into account the width of my tape throughout the length of the wall. The easiest way to figure it out, though, is to just decide how many diamonds you want, and divide your length by that number. I drew out a couple different versions and decided that four diamonds length-wise looked best on this area of my wall. so 91 / 4 = about 22 3/4 inches (roughly). Draw your pattern out on a pad of paper and keep this nearby. You will need this for reference.
Step 2 – Mark your wall. Now that you know how wide and tall your diamonds will be, mark your dimensions on the wall. You will need to mark on the right side, left side, top and bottom in pencil. I suggest that if you are not taking the width of the tape into account for your measurements that you make your marks a little longer than you think are necessary. Such as if you run into a corner like I did on both sides, your mark should go onto those walls and possibly the ceiling. This will make finding your mark when putting the tape onto the wall MUCH easier.
Step 3 – Lay the tape. This is where having a friend with a ladder really helps. Start on one end of the wall, at the top. Hopefully you have that drawing nearby. This is your guide to the placement of your painter tape. Have your friend start in one corner holding the tape tightly on your first mark. You will then guide the tape to its ending spot on the bottom of the wall. Remember to pull the tape tight, this will help keep the paint from bleeding. Once you found the spot for the tape press down the tape onto the wall the entire length. This will also keep the paint from bleeding. You need to press down on this tape the entire length. Make sure there is a good contact the entire way. Do this for the rest of your wall. I suggest starting at the left and moving right, then going back right to left. This will keep your directions straight in your mind. Left to right diagonals first, then right to left.
Step 4 – PAINT! Now that all of your tape is on the wall, in the pattern that you want, and is pressed tightly, it is time to paint. You can use a roller if you like, especially if this is a large wall you are working on, but since this was a small wall and it needed so much cutting in on the sides, top, and bottom, we just chose to use a brush for the entire wall. When you are painting on the tape, paint over it slightly and in the direction it is running. This will help keep the lines defined.
Step 5 – Dry. You will need to let the paint dry for AT LEAST 30 minutes after you finished painting. It was an especially hot day here in southern California, so I could have let it dry for less time, but we wanted to be safe. DO NOT let the paint dry completely. This may cause the paint to come off the of wall when you peel off the tape! After 30-45 minutes you will need to CAREFULLY remove the tape. I took it off one strip at a time. This is where putting the tape on left to right, then right to left will pay off. You will hopefully have avoided any basket-weave patterns with the tape, and can remove strips easily one at a time.
Step 6 – Let dry completely. I would not suggest hanging pictures or placing furniture up against the wall immediately. You might want to wait an hour or two before doing anything like that just to be sure the paint has dried completely.
Step 7 – Enjoy! Take pictures, post them on facebook, and admire your work. This is a simple DIY paint project if you just take your time and plan. And it looks great in your living room, kitchen, bedroom or office.
If you decide to do this project I would love to see how it turned out! You can do this, just take the time to draw it out first, then take your time.
UPDATE Paint names used for this project –
For the tan wall we used Behr paint in Barista.
The blue was a custom color but if you take this image to the paint department they can enter the numbers in for you and will come up with something VERY similar.

A lot of noise has been made on the web about "random shutdowns" in MacBooks and MacBook Pros over the past several months. While Apple's worldwide battery exchange for MacBook Pros seemed to remedy the problem for some (the issue was caused by warping batteries), it did not remedy the problem for all. Others were still reporting that they were calling Apple to complain about this issue, only to have Apple tell some of them that it was a logic board issue. Apple never did quite officially acknowledge the problem though, and users continued to be frustrated with this problem that was severely interrupting their workflow.
Finally, however, it looks like Apple (at least indirectly) is acknowledging the problem directly by a new knowledge base page on their website: MacBook: Shuts down intermittently. The gist of the document is pretty simple:
If your MacBook is shutting down intermittently, please contact AppleCare for service.
...as if you didn't already know to contact AppleCare when your laptop just randomly decides to turn off, but hey, at least they sort of accept it now as an actual problem instead of PEBCAK, right?

Proud to be on Mars !
Two Exxelia film capacitors on-board the InSight spacecraft
The NASA InSight spacecraft landed on Mars on November 26, 2018 with two Exxelia film capacitors onboard. Designed and manufactured in France, these high precision capcitors are mounted on the French sismometer.
New Plug&Play filters for datacenters and mission critical facilities
Electronic equipment can leak sensitive information over conducted or radiated electromagnetic emanations, and signals transmitted down unprotected lines can potentially be intercepted. That's why filters are implemented into systems to prevent EMI disturbances, as TEMPEST filters stop the high frequency EM signals (or noise) emanating inside the secured environment. Exxelia has a long history of manufacturing state-of-the-art electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering technologies for space, avionic and defense markets. Thanks to this in-depth knowledge, Exxelia came to the conclusion that the installation of a product is as critical as its reliability, especially when shielding continuity and sensitive copper terminals are involved. That's where Exxelia's new full range of TEMPEST pluggable filters will save time and spare headaches! The 9260W series is a multi-socket line extension with a built-in 16A Tempest filter (minimum 60dB, from 100KHz to 1GHz), CE qualified according to EM 60950-1 standard. 9260W series Plug&Play solution is available with UK, US and EU standard plugs and can be provided with any other standard plug upon request. In addition, Exxelia completed its offer with the 9259W series of pluggable filters featuring various plug interfaces such as VGA/DVI, USB, Ethernet, Phone, Audio and much more. 9260W series and 9259W series are both fully compliant with EMC expectations and allow considerable time saving and cost-effectiveness. When a standard filter needs to be wired and shielded to each socket one-by-one before carefully re-closing the whole equipment, Exxelia new series can be installed using no special tools and with a smaller footprint. To all people handling sensitive information, a simple plugging operation is now enough to protect their data. Available now, 9259W and 9260W series are fully customizable upon request.
Magnetic Components based on Adaptive CCM Technology at APEC – Booth# 653 –
Exxelia will exhibit the CCM series during the Applied Power Electronics Conference at Exxelia's booth #623 from March 27-30, 2017 in Tampa, FL. Exxelia designed CCM technology to respond to the growing interest of electronic engineers for inductors and transformers with multiple outputs, high power density and reduced footprint. Qualified for aeronautic and space applications, the CCM product line features terrific robustness. The monolithic design provides high mechanical performance, proven by the successfully testing in accordance with MIL-STD-202 (methods 213 and 204). The series offers five different sizes, allowing optimized component design in a pick-and-place surface mount (SMD) package. Through-hole (TH) packages are also available upon request. The CCM series is particularly flexible with a number of pins options available, from 2×6 pins for the smallest package, up to 2×10. CCM transformers and inductors can operate over a wide temperature range with a minimal temperature of -55° C. The standard thermal grade of the technology is 140° C. Thanks to the technology design, the thermal resistance is 30% lower than standard industrial components. The epoxy molding protecting the winding ensures a lower temperature gradient and a better heat dissipation. Each unit is thoroughly tested with a dielectric withstanding strength of 1,500 VAC. Component materials meet UL 94-V0 rating. Exxelia can evaluate losses and related temperature rise thanks to an in-depth knowledge of CCM technology. Thermal resistance data is available for each package size. Exxelia can also manufacture products in CCM technology according to MIL-STD-981.

May Seminars by Johan Strijdom: 'Material religion' and 'indigenous claims': Examining theorised key concepts and case studies
|We 18-05-2016 13:00 - 16:00
|Room 117, Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, Oude Boteringestraat 38, Groningen
In May, Johan Strijdom, professor in Religious Studies at the University of South Africa (Unisa), will visit our Faculty on an Erasmus Mundus INSPIRE scholarship. At Unisa, he is primarily responsible for teaching courses on social and postcolonial theories of religion; human rights and religion; religious nationalism and violence; gender and sexuality; and African indigenous religion, African Christianity and African Islam. He will conduct four seminars for Master's degree students in May about 'Material religion' and 'indigenous claims'.
Third seminar: The senses, focusing on the visions and dreams among shamans and neoshamans
The purpose of these seminars will be to facilitate a dialogue between research in the comparative study of religion done in the global south and global north on 'material religion' and 'indigenous claims'. We will examine theories of these key concepts and their application to case studies by researchers in the Netherlands (Birgit Meyer, Kocku von Stuckrad, Peter Berger and Peter Geschiere) and South Africa (David Chidester, with whose work I have engaged for some time).
For each seminar I will suggest two articles that will form the basis for our discussions. The idea is that we formulate questions that arise from these articles and debate the theorisation of key concepts and their application to case studies as best as we can.
More information on the seminars can be found on the special Facebook group created for these seminars: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1712444679023810/
There's only room for 15 people. If you would like to participate, please register by announcing this in the facebook group.
Complete programme
- Wednesday 4 may 13-16h: objects / fetishes in the study of material religion
- Wednesday 11 May 13-16h: the senses, focusing on the metaphorical use of sight and hearing in Christian creeds, and visions in medieval Christianity
- Wednesday 18 May: 13-16h: the senses, focusing on the visions and dreams among shamans and neoshamans
- Wednesday 25 May: 13-16h: problems with indigenous and autochthonous claims

Fabulous 8,6 From 67 reviews
Beautiful view,good location. Security is good but what is annoying is that you check in at the desk and have your photo taken at security a mile away... this makes the check in process lengthy and painful. The phone to contact the help desk just rings. Had to call the 24 hour helpdesk with my cell phone, to report a the Airconditioner not working, but no one got back to me... service no good ! Disappointing for property in that class!
Waterfront Marina is always fantastic location, low bed futon type mattress in main bedroom didn't quite do it for me - Altmore103. Otherwise great apartment.
The apartment was worn down and not very clean. The location is superb, but for the price I paid you expext a bit of luxury, and that was not the case. The floor in the bathroom is very slippery and dangerous when wet.
The rules of the complex (29) including fines for each are insulting for an upmarket clientele. The parking has no rhyme nor reason in it's layout. You need to search for your assigned stall.
I was out most of the time and only used the apartment to sleep in. I slept in the main bedroom and the bathroom light did not work. That was my only disappointment. overall a very good stay.
Staff was very Helpful in order for us to get our preferred villa
I stayed in Altmore 001 and lovely apartment but lounge set very minimal. It does distract from a luxurious apartment.
very very nice self catering
It was the best ever! The reception was exceptional...service great...location could not have been better...quiet...exceptionally clean...fitness room has four treadmills...great equipment and environment...outstanding security!!! Book it!

Saolta University Health Care Group publishes Group Strategy 2019-2023
The Saolta University Health Care Group has this week published its five year strategy which outlines the vision and framework for the Group's strategic development from 2019 to 2023. The Saolta Group comprises Galway University Hospitals (University Hospital Galway and Merlin Park University Hospital), Letterkenny University Hospital, Sligo University Hospital, Mayo University Hospital, Portiuncula University Hospital and Roscommon University Hospital.
Commenting Saolta Group CEO Maurice Power said, "The vision of the Saolta Group is to be a leading academic Hospital Group providing excellent integrated patient-centred care delivered by skilled caring staff. In the implementation of this strategy, we are committed to ensuring that our patients are at the centre of all service design, development and delivery. Over the next five years we will further develop our services, both clinical and organisational based around seven key themes: Quality and Patient Safety; Patient Access; Governance and Integration; Skilled Caring Staff; Education Research and Innovation; eHealth and Infrastructure. These will be our key areas of focus between now and 2023 to enable us to meet the future needs of our patients.
"As part of the implementation of this strategy we have identified 20 priority projects across the Group which are aligned with Sláintecare's goals. They include a number of clinical and organisational projects which are focused on further improving services for our patients and staff. This strategy is underpinned by 41 individual speciality strategies that set out the future requirements for each speciality across Saolta Hospitals. We work very closely with our colleagues in the community both Community Healthcare West and Community Health Organisation 1 in the North West. This collaborative approach will continue in earnest as we work towards delivering more streamlined care to our patients in line with the national focus of bringing services closer to patients.
"A dynamic research, innovation and education culture is critical to the Saolta Group and through continued working with our academic partner NUI Galway and others we will continue to build our research and innovation capabilities which enable our patients to access new treatments and technologies".
Saolta Chief Clinical Director Prof Pat Nash added, "A key theme within this strategy and its successful implementation is the development of Managed Clinical and Academic Networks. While the tertiary referral centre for the Group is University Hospital Galway, it is essential that all our hospitals work more closely together in delivering services to address the challenges facing us across our region. These networks will ensure that specialities in individual hospitals will no longer work in isolation but as a networked team which will improve clinical quality and patient safety. It will also support collective learning/sharing of expertise and will be supported by education, training, research and audit programmes. This new structure will result in safer, standardised and more sustainable services for our patients and improved recruitment and retention of staff.
"The other key focus of this strategy is improving access for our patients and reducing waiting times for scheduled and unscheduled care. We must aim for a fully integrated patient pathway from the first point of contact with the GP, to timely access to local hospitals and onward to UHG as the tertiary referral centre, if required. Maximising capacity across all of our hospitals is a key part of this".
The Chair of the Board of the Saolta Group Gerry McManus stated, "The Saolta Group provides hospital care to over 800,000 people across the West and North West of Ireland which is 1/5 of the population but across 1/3 of the country's landmass. The Board has been very much involved in the development of this strategy, particularly through the Board's Strategy sub-committee. We are determined both at Board and Executive level to ensure that this this strategy will be implemented. While it is ambitious, we have identified the initial priority projects to be progressed in achieving the strategic objectives over the next three years. This roadmap will be reviewed on an on-going basis over the life of this strategy to ensure it is aligned to national and local developments. This process will be overseen by the Board Strategy sub-committee".
Concluding CEO Maurice Power said, "A huge amount of work was involved in the development of this strategy involving every speciality and hospital within the Saolta Group. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the support provided by the HSE's Public Health team who worked closely with us to undertake an extensive analysis of the current and future population trends, health projections and ultimately develop a health profile for our region. This work was critical in assisting us plan our health services for the coming years particularly in the areas of patient flow, chronic disease management, services for older people and children.
"I would like to thank all of our staff both clinical and non-clinical for their contribution to the strategy and I know that they are committed to its implementation over the coming years to provide the highest possible standard of care to our patients".

MEVO, or the Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization, Inc. was founded by Eric J. Fuchs-Stengel with the help of several of his friends in July 2008 when he was sixteen years old. Eric, Samuel Berman and Shane Mitchell grew up together in Mahwah, New Jersey. While many adventures would persist throughout their years together, it was the summer of 2008 that changed their lives. Eric, Sam and Shane exercised – ran and rode bikes. They weren't afraid of running a mile every year in gym class. One day, Eric suggested, "Hey guys, why don't we go hiking in the woods, that's probably better exercise then lifting weights in our basement."
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="2_3″][et_pb_text admin_label="Text" background_layout="light" text_orientation="left" module_id="content-bg"]
So they took off to the only woods they knew, the 3,300 acre Ramapo Valley County Reservation. A beautiful forest loaded with trails, a plethora of animals and great rocks and trees to climb. Coming from the pesticide-covered lawns and the suburban sprawl, it was magnificent to see all this just ten minutes from their homes! They spent that summer hiking through the magnificent forest, experiencing the natural world and loving every minute of it. The friends couldn't get enough of the place they discovered. This is where our MEVO story begins.
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label="Image" src="http://mevoearth.org/img/our-story-1.jpg" url_new_window="off" animation="off" module_class="vanity" show_in_lightbox="off" sticky="on" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label="Text" background_layout="light" text_orientation="left" module_id="content-bg"]
In July of 2008, when Eric and Sam were on a hike, Eric noticed that something seemed "off" with the forest. Trash – plastic Tupperware, aluminum cans and beer bottles – littered the heavily travelled lower trails. Eric asked, "Why would people trash such a beautiful place, one unlike anything in the surrounding suburbs?" There had to be a problem. Eric loved the forest and the vast expanses of land – he cherished it and respected it. The Ramapo Reservation had changed his outlook on life. It made him happier and healthier than he had been before. There was so much more to the Earth – so many beautiful places, people to see and experiences to have.

But what was the problem? Perhaps those who littered didn't understand the value of the Ramapo Reservation, or maybe they didn't care. Nevertheless, Eric saw the trash and didn't want to leave it there for another minute. Eric thought of his cousin Jesse Fuchs-Simon, who when he was fifteen founded the not-for-profit American Youth Understanding Diabetes Abroad, Inc. Trash is a problem. Founding a not-for-profit would be taking action to solve it. Eric called Sam and said, "Let's start an organization to clean-up the Ramapo Reservation!" And at that moment, MEVO was founded.

It took the friends several days to think of a name and goals. They wanted to make sure that people understood who they were and what they did. They also knew they wanted an acronym, something that was flashy and cool to say. After tossing around ideas and letters, they decided on VEO, Volunteer Environmental Organization, which sounded like a good idea but still didn't have that official feel. For two Mahwah High School students, living in Mahwah, New Jersey, who hiked the Ramapo Reservation in Mahwah, NJ, the missing letter was obvious. Mahwah! And that's why MEVO is the Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization. Little did Sam and Eric know, but MEVO would change their lives. It spread across Bergen County and Essex County, as far as Clark University in Worcester, MA and New York University in New York City, NY. And the story goes on…

Tafika is a remote bush camp situated in the northern reaches of the South Luangwa National Park, away from the more crowded southern section. It is the flagship property of Remote Africa Safaris, and managed directly by RAS founders Carol and John Coppinger, wonderful hosts and highly experienced safari guides.
At first glance, Tafika is a fairly simple bush camp—unelaborate in its design and totally lacking in pretension. While the service provided by the Coppingers is exceptional, Tafika doesn't offer the high-end comforts of some of Zambia's more luxurious camps. What it does offer, however, is a truly exclusive wilderness experience. Indeed, Tafika has acquired a reputation in the 20 years since it opened as one of Zambia's very best wilderness camps, thanks to its remote location and superb guiding.
At Tafika Camp you have a great deal of flexibility in how you structure your day—you can enjoy full-day activities or, if you prefer, break up the day with shorter excursions. There's a good variety of activities, including 4x4 game drives, guided walking safaris (with an armed ranger), and, something of a novelty, mountain bike safaris, which are conducted close to the camp. Microlight flights are also offered (at additional cost), led by camp host and experienced pilot John Coppinger.
Tafika Camp is open from 15 May to 30 November (dry season) and 10 February to 10 April (green season).
At the centre of Tafika Camp is a large, open-air thatch structure, which serves as the lounge and bar. Scattered around this are six very simple reed and thatch chalets. Each chalet is en-suite and furnished with two queen-size beds. At the front is a narrow covered verandah.
One of the chalets at Tafika is larger than the others, with two bedrooms (three beds), making it suitable for use as a family unit.
There's also a honeymoon unit, more or less identical to the others, only slightly more spacious, and equipped with a king-size bed and a larger shower.
- Dining area
- Bar
- Patio
- Walking safaris
- Game drives
- Micro lighting
- Village visits
- Cycling safaris
- River safaris
- Bird watching
- Canoeing
Child Policy
Tafika Camp generally only accepts children over the age of ten due to its remote location. Younger children may be accommodated on request, however. Please also note that there is an age limit of 12 for the river and guided walking safaris.

With the much-anticipated season finale of UPN's Veronica Mars upon us (tonight at 9 pm/ET), many fans are still trying to recover from the shocking not-guilty verdict delivered at Aaron Echolls' trial in last week's episode. Meanwhile other readers are already looking ahead to a potential third season. In his latest exclusive Q&A, Mars creator Rob Thomas provides plenty of insight about recent happenings and answers TVGuide.com readers' burning questions about Veronica's future.
Question: First, I trust you. Second, please tell me the whole STD thing will make sense after seeing the finale. I'm torn between whether Duncan slept with Kendall or Aaron paid the doctor.... Do tell! Holli
Rob Thomas: All will be answered in the finale.
Question: A lot of people are commenting on how Aaron Echolls' attorney obtained Veronica's medical records to reveal in court that she was treated for an STD. Were her medical records obtained illegally? Jamie
Thomas: Probably. I'm not sure how they were obtained. I'm not even particularly interested in how they were obtained. At the end of the day, Aaron Echolls got off like O.J., like Michael Jackson, like Robert Blake because he's famous. Finding 12 jurors who would convict this famous man was simply not going to happen. It's a noir world. Unfair things happen.
Question: Wasn't Kendall the last to use Duncan's shower? Yet she pulled "evidence" pointing to Duncan and not herself from the drain.... Dan
Thomas: She could tell the hairs apart. Duncan's are shorter.
Question: Is there any significance to the ring Veronica has recently been wearing on her right ring finger? Sherry
Thomas: No.
Question: After Keith and Veronica's fallout in the "Donut Run" episode, I expected there would be a little more tension between our favorite daddy-daughter team. In "Happy Go Lucky," we saw that tension resurface for an instant, when it was clear Veronica is still hiding things from Keith. In your mind, where do they stand? Did Keith really forgive Veronica for her con so quickly? Or was it repressed and the aftermath is still pending? Courtney
Thomas: In truth, I think we underplayed the Keith-Veronica riff in the aftermath of "Donut Run." I'm sure everyone is aware that by the time we cut together an episode, the next three episodes are already written and are prepping or shooting. I don't think I was quite prepared for how powerful that moment would be. It's the curse of working with really good actors. After we filmed the scene and cut it together, I realized that we'd kind of already blown the aftermath. I think we had a similar problem after Episode 20 ["Look Who's Stalking"] the final Logan-/Veronica scene begged some fallout in Episode 21 that we really didn't have in the script. We live. We learn. We try to do better.
Question: Have you considered giving Veronica some self-defense classes at some point, so she can at least defend herself a little bit? Jessica
Thomas: I don't want the show to be about Veronica kicking ass. Alias and Buffy were great at that sort of thing. Veronica outwits people. And occasionally Tasers them. That's how I like it.
Question: The rich kids are always referred to as "the 09ers." I watch and watch and still don't get why there are called this. Can you help? Salie
Thomas: The rich kids live in a zip code that ends with 09.
Question: Loved, loved, loved Dick's Texas T-shirt in "Look Who's Stalking"! Hook 'em Horns! Whose idea was it for him to wear the shirt? Susan
Thomas: Sal, our head of wardrobe, put Dick in the UT shirt. I think he knew it would make me happy.
Question: Do you or someone else on staff have a background in police or detective work to make this show some of the best television ever? I'm truly intrigued about the creative process behind the show. Jill
Thomas: No. In fact, quite the opposite. In television drama, writers are often thought of as either "character writers" or "procedural writers." Procedural writers tend to write for police shows, law shows, medical shows. Character writers tend to write things like Freaks and Geeks, The Sopranos, Northern Exposure. I haven't hired any procedural writers for the show; everyone comes from a "character" background. We do have a private-investigator adviser whom we call on pretty regularly.
Question: Just curious are any of those tattoos that Weevil [played by Francis Capra] sports real? Thanks. Diane
Thomas: All of them are real.
Question: First, I wanted to thank you for giving the fans such quality week after week. Now my question: Were the kids in the back of the van [in the "Plan B" episode] Weevil's niece and nephew? Stacie
Thomas: No. Those were just random kids waiting for their mom to come out of church.
Question: Is Mac going to be a regular for Season 3? Is she going to Hearst? Will she and Veronica be roommates there? Lisa
Thomas: We hope that Tina Majorino will be back with us next year. We're trying to negotiate a deal to bring her on as a series regular. We absolutely want her. As for the roommate/college situation, we're still figuring that out.
Question: It seems pretty obvious that Veronica will be at Hearst College next year and the serial rapist story line will also show up again. Can you give us some other clues about what to look forward to next season? Jessica
Thomas: The biggest news is that we will be going to a three-mystery-per-season format next year. This way, the mysteries will play uninterrupted by repeats or preemptions. We're hoping this will help us cast guest stars in smaller arcs, allow newbies to jump in easier, and lessen the too-much-going-on complaint we heard in Season 2.

The Definitions
Put simply, privatisation involves the transfer of assets or economic activity from the public to the private sector. This is the general definition. There are, however, three specific types of privatisation.
- Denationalisation: The sale of public sector assets. Includes industries, companies and local authority council houses. This is the type of privatisation that most people recognise; the selling off of British Telecom and the gas, electricity and water industries.
- Deregulation: The removal of legal barriers to entry in a previously protected market to allow private enterprise to compete. Hence, public sector provision (i.e. financing) and production are replaced by private sector provision and production (e.g. the bus services).
- Franchising: The public sector continues financial provision but for private sector production. Competitive tenders are requested for a contract to be awarded for a stated period of time (e.g. hospital needs and the railways).
Nearly all exam questions on this topic ask you, in one way or another, to examine the advantages and disadvantages of privatisation. This would seem to be a good place to start. For more detail, see the next two Learn-Its.

Welcome to my nightmare.
The problems with my blog and, in particular, the link to the "HSUS 900lb Gorilla" post, began hours after I published it to the web. Users reported error messages when trying to access the post, or in some cases the window would just close on its own.
I'm not that technical of a person when it comes to "compromising" or "hijacking" a website /blog/whatever. And it may just be a case of bad luck. However, this afternoon my computer "fell ill" under mysterious reasons causing me to lose EVERYTHING on my hard drive: pictures of dogs no longer with me, thousands of documents, email addresses...gone. Vanished.
I am having this looked into for whatever it will be worth. In the meantime, I am using a backup computer to ensure the TRUTH is kept alive. All of this may just be bad luck, but it could also be a case of trying to shut me up.
For those that know me personally, you know that ain't gonna happen! It takes more than being "watched" by the animal radicals (AR); it takes more than "intimidating" messages...not even a total computer crash will stop me from exposing the animal radicals (AR) and their agenda.
Keep the TRUTH alive. Forward and forward AGAIN the links to the video HSUS does NOT want in the public eye. We are making HUGE headway into exposing the masters of deception. The WSB Atlanta station gave us a huge helping hand...don't drop the ball.

Cometh the time, cometh the exploitable prejudice. With millions of globally displaced persons, states are retreating from the business of actually treating the condition as one of dysfunction inflicted by war, famine and poverty. It has morphed from a matter of humanitarianism to one of social ill and unease.
Grieving the death of a tree seems a common experience, but I had rarely heard about it. We share stories of the loss of loved ones or pets, but not of specific trees. Are we less comfortable acknowledging the depth of this relationship? Does it challenge our cultural understanding of the natural world and our place within it?
There is no basis for this claim that, if the summit and its outcomes had occurred under Barack Obama, some have argued, those on the centre left would be cheering. The reality is, the summit would never have occurred, because no other president would have made the concession of a meeting at all for no apparent gain.
Article 21 of Tunisia's 2014 constitution makes this document pivotal in the broader fight for gender equality across the Arab world. Even so, more than four years on from the constitution's inception, progress is slow in the struggle for equal rights in Tunisia, and the fight for basic equality between the sexes is still ongoing.
Researchers from Oxford concluded that consumers have significant power to 'deliver environmental benefits on a scale not achievable by producers' by excluding animal products from their diets. Interestingly, this report comes at a time when the uptake of veganism is growing significantly, both globally and in Australia.
Tony Taylor's study of the funding of Australian schools from the time when Menzies first aided Catholic schools until today explains how school funding has come to pose such an intractable problem for governments. It is also a lament for so many lost opportunities to build an educational framework that would open opportunity to all.
The result in Ireland is a timely reminder to political and/or church leaders in Australia who like to use Irish Catholic heritage as a way to defend their conservative views. On nearly all issues that have been debated by Australian Catholics against their religious obligations, the motherland is, clearly, no longer the source of moral legitimacy.
In Mexico, every two hours a person vanishes. Most likely they are executed and thrown into narco-fosas, the term given to the thousands of clandestine graves used by narco-organised crime to bury their victims. Most of the victims are young. More than 46,000 young people were killed between 2007 and 2016.
A little over 77 years ago, Allied forces fighting in northern Greece were overwhelmed by German strength. In Kalamata, for years now there has been a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial close to the waterfront. It occurs days before the Nakba, the remembrance of Palestinian displacement that this year marked 70 years.
A thread of male entitlement binds the American literary world to a shepherd's world in India's Kashmir valley. Days ago, the American author Junot Diaz left the Sydney Writers Festival amid allegations of sexual abuse. In India there is another, more sinister and tragic manifestation, woven with the use of rape as a weapon of war.
The number of medals available to men and women was equal. In this respect the games were better than the cultural norms of some of the competing countries. Integration of disabled athletes was also significant. Against this generally positive background the media persisted in an approach which was needlessly one-eyed.
If the powers that be are not keen on protests while Australia is on the international stage, the answer is simple: stop demonising Indigenous people and using our children as cannon fodder. You're not listening if you continue showcasing us on your terms while dismissing our political voice, denying our presence and erasing our history.

I'm going to try something new, I'll call it "Why Do or Don't I Wednesday". I thought of a better name how about Wednesday's Words. I've seen a ton of Wordless Wednesday posts so that kind of gave me the idea.
Today's question is why do I spend so much time on the computer?
It just occurred to me as I was visiting Rita's Reviews a blog that I've come to love. She kind of gave me inspiration to talk a little bit about myself. See when I started this blog I thought it would be all about saving money and that I would share deals and do match ups for coupons and then I discovered giveaways. So I started to focus on joining and having giveaways on my site. I have a limited amount of time for blogging admittedly because I spend a ton of time entering giveaways, which is an issue for another day. I've found tough as I go through and enter these giveaways I learn tidbits about other bloggers by reading their posts. Since I don't really get out of the house much (toddler and husband take most of my attention and time), I think I've replaced outside friendships with following and interacting with other bloggers. I think it helps me feel less like I'm on an island by myself. I wonder if anyone else is in this boat?

Why Do or Don't I Wednesday - Wednesday's Words
1 comment:
I think we are all in your boat some way or another. I too interact mostly with other bloggers and online unless you count the kids. Just remember to take just a few minutes each day to walk outside and just enjoy five minutes for yourself. I am also so thrilled that you love Rita Reviews. Thank you!ReplyDelete

Chapter 258: Demon Lord
Chapter 258: Demon Lord
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
A few days?
Chu Yu's heart fluttered, The concept of time in the various spaces in the Devastated World were so powerful!
He was worried that the Mirror World would have changed greatly once he came out.
However, his master had told him not to worry. He had said that the rules of time inside were different from the outside, but he did not specify how different.
Little did Chu Yu expect that two years inside was just a few days outside,
If not for the fact that he had many things to do, Chu Yu wanted to turn back and learn from his master for another decade.
At the very least, he could breakthrough to the True Lord realm?
Even though his master had told him that a high cultivation level did not mean great battle power, wouldn't it be better if he was of an even higher cultivation level?
That being said, his master had told him that he could fight Divine Lords.
However, at this point, the two demons were rather depressed.
Since these two fellas thought that he died inside, didn't that mean that they had ill intentions when bringing him there?
"What is that gaze? Didn't you say that he was your relative?" Weird and Crafty was still rather witty at times.
Chu Yu's mouth twitched, "My business is done, send me down the mountain."
"Send, send you down the mountain?" Crafty and Weird glared at Chu Yu, "Why should we? It's not like you're our lord?"
After a minute, Chu Yu looked at their swollen faces and said, "How about now?"
"Yes yes, you're the boss, what you say goes." Crafty and Weird said depressingly.
They could not figure out how someone who was not their match a few days ago managed to become so powerful!
Weird and Crafty said, "Our Lord would like to meet you."
"Meet me?" Chu Yu stiffened, wondering if this demon was lying.
"Yes yes yes, I remember now. Our Lord said that if we saw you again, we were to invite you over!" Crafty and Weird said by the side.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Lead the way!"
The two demons heaved a sigh of relief and limped over to another cave.
The cave was surrounded by mist and it was hard to see what was inside.
It was fading in and out of view. Chu Yu saw three words engraved on top of the cave.
Black Wind Cave!
There were two unkempt little demons at the entrance and it looked like they were not fully developed.
One was a human body with a tiger head. Its expression was vicious and its fangs hung out of its mouth as it salivated, "Human... yummy!"
The other was a human head on a leopard body. It had leopard eyes and two black and thick eyebrows.
It paced around on four legs, its eyes dodging about as it sized Chu Yu up, ready to lunge.
Crafty and Weird said, "He is the esteemed guest of the lord, behave yourselves!"
The tiger head demon salivated, "Human, yummy!"
"Scram!" Weird and Crafty bellowed. Then, he brought Chu Yu into the cave.
The cave was wide and bright. It was over 30 yards high and there were many luminous pearls that brightened up the entire space.
There were over a dozen demons inside and an ancient tree. There was an ancient figure on the tree.
Seeing Chu Yu enter, he opened his eyes and shot out two rays of light to observe Chu Yu.
There was an adorable red fox which was only about half a meter long.
However, it looked like Chu Yu as if it was eyeing its next meal.
There were also demons with wolf heads. They too looked at Chu Yu icily and let out guttural growls.
All in all, other than the swollen faced demons who escorted him here, all the other demons had nothing but ill intentions towards Chu Yu.
They exuded a powerful and icy aura.
Any demon with the right to enter this place was at least a True Lord!
Chu Yu took a deep breath. Since he decided to come, he should take it easy.
He raised his head and followed Crafty and Weird as well as Weird and Crafty inside.
His gaze did not stray!
"Can we eat him?" The red fox's voice was like that of a young girl.
"He looks quite yummy." That ancient tree replied.
Chu Yu was speechless.
After passing by here, and going past a few bends, Chu Yu was stunned by what he saw.
A luxurious palace appeared right in front of his eyes!
The gold of the palace glimmered. The entire palace was made from gold!
How alluring!
Chu Yu thought to himself.
At this point, at the end of the walkway, he saw a youth sitting atop the throne.
The youth was dressed in snow white clothing. His hair was neatly tied up and a crown was on his head. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with life and his skin was fair. He sat there looking rather intimidating.
Seeing Chu Yu enter, he smiled, "Friend, please have a seat!"
All of a sudden, an ancient chair appeared below. There were shreds of Dao radiating from that chair.
Divine wood?
Chu Yu observed that chair and felt a wave of awe.
He cupped his fist, bowed, then sat on the chair.
At this point, the youth looked at the two escorts and frowned, "What happened to you?"
The two of them were beaten up quite badly. After stammering continuously for quite some time, they could not bring themselves to say they suffered this at the hands of Chu Yu.
The youth looked at Chu Yu, then waved, "You all can leave."
The two of them left the room.
The entire palace was only left with Chu Yu and this youth.
"Brother, you're extremely lucky to have curried the favor of the most powerful person in the Heavenly Mountains." The youth looked at Chu Yu and smiled warmly.
Chu Yu replied, "I got lucky. May I know who you are?"
"Me? I am just an insignificant pawn." The youth shook his head as he got down from his throne. He said flatly, "I am just a lucky demon. I managed to become the demon king in the Heavenly Mountains. However, I can't leave, so there's not much meaning."
"You can't leave?" Chu Yu glanced at him.
"How powerful do you think I am?" The youth smiled at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu shook his head, "My cultivation level is too low, I do not know your true level."
"Haha, didn't the Great Sage teach you the Penetrating Gaze?" The youth smiled. "My name is Snow, and my cultivation level is similar to the Legendary Emperors."
Legendary Emperor?
Legendary Emperor!
Chu Yu gasped. He never expected this demon king to be this powerful.
The only reason why he and Xu Xiaoxian could kill the Worm Lord was because the Worm Lord's level was suppressed in the Devastated World. He could not bring his full power to bear.
Furthermore, Chu Yu managed to destroy the worm he planted and Xu Xiaoxian played the Heavenly Demonic Tune with no regard for her life.
To be honest, they got lucky.
However, in the Heavenly Mountains, in the face of a Legendary Emperor demon, Chu Yu had no intention to fight.
He would be no match for this demon.
"Over here, other than in those special spaces, I am virtually invincible." Snow laughed, "Even if the saints from outside came in here, they would still be suppressed and even killed by me"
There was danger at every step in the Heavenly Mountains.
These dangers were related to this demon lord.
"However, I can't leave the Heavenly Mountains."
Snow's eyes revealed traces of loneliness, "This place made me, but also restrains me."
"Let's not talk about this. It is rare that to see someone so pleasing, let me hold a banquet for you!"
As Snow spoke, he commanded for a banquet to be set up.
Very quickly, various dishes were laid out.
Chu Yu was shocked to find out that the dishes the demons made were a match for the chefs on Earth.
Just smelling and looking at it made one salivate.
Snow invited Chu Yu over and retrieved a flask of beer. This was only a palm sized flask, but it was actually a storage magical equipment.
After filling Chu Yu's cup, Snow filled his own and said, "Come, taste it!"
Chu Yu raised his glass to thank Snow, then gulped it down.
A pleasant feeling entered Chu Yu's lungs through his throat. Then, rays of powerful energy spread to his extremities.
Mist rose from Chu Yu's body!
"Good wine!"
Chu Yu commended.
Snow smiled, "The demons in here all don't like this wine. They don't think it's strong enough."
Chu Yu was shocked, "They like drinking hard liquor?"
Snow nodded, "Yup, even though this wine is of great help to them, they don't like it. Since I've found someone of my own heart, come, let's drink more!"
Chu Yu did not reject the demon lord. It wasn't that he trusted the demon, but if the demon wanted to harm him, it did not have to go through this much trouble.
"Taste these dishes, they are all delicacies of this mountain!"
"There is chicken of phoenix blood. Drinking the soup can strengthen your bloodline and raise your mental cultivation."
"There's also Qilin Lion meat. After eating, you can gain Qi..."
The demon lord introduced each dish to Chu Yu and helped Chu Yu to the dishes.
Even though he was trapped in the Heavenly Mountains, the demon lord was extremely knowledgable, especially when it came to the old Immortal World.
Even though the monkey was also from that time, he was unwilling to say much about it.
As such, Chu Yu managed to learn more about that time from the demon lord.
"The Immeasurable Catastrophe was known as the Heart Catastrophe back then. When the core of the universe is particularly strong, then the universe can no longer hold it. It can only cleanse it."
"The result of the cleanse is the destruction of the universe. After it is destroyed, it will rebuild a new universe on the same land. This cycle will keep continuing. It has never stopped."
"It is extremely difficult, near impossible even, to escape this fact.
"As such, in the eyes of the powerful, this world need warfare. Only through warfare can we rid the world of powers and talents. This is the only way to extend the arrival of the Heart Catastrophe."
Snow was rather tipsy and said many things that stunned Chu Yu.
He even said that the Mirror World talents wanting to fight their way into the Solar System was just a ploy.
"Can you really gain Dao in the Solar System? Does killing someone there give you added Dao? In my view, that's rubbish!"
"The Solar System is special and the people there have the blood of gods."
"However, in the eyes of the powers, that is insignificant."
"Those b*stards actually have other paths to enter the Solar System, yet they've only been working hard to break the one for lower level cultivators..."
"They clearly have other intentions!"
"Saints are apathetic. They may not even care about their own descendants."
"Why do you think they would be so 'kind?'"
Chu Yu felt a wave of emotion well up.
He could not help but ask, "How can it be that no one realizes this?"
"They are powers! These superior powers have been plotting this for aeons. This is why this is just a ploy. They're unstoppable like a raging river. Even if people realize it, they can't stop it." Snow looked at Chu Yu tipsily.
"The fact that you were accepted by the Great Sage shows that you come from the Solar System. Else, he would have shred you to pieces."
"If I were you, I would just stay in the Mirror World. Why go out and participate in a meaningless war?"
"If you stay, I can make you the second lord of the Heavenly Mountains..."
"You will become a Legendary Emperor in less than 300 years!"

Colour is big news this season: think of the warm welcome we've given jewel tones like emerald (or any other shade of green), golden yellows and violet. The challenge is that using bold colours in your home needs a little care, or they run the risk of becoming overwhelming. Here's how to do colour right.
Think about your space. Before you choose a palette, consider the size and scope of the room you're working with, as well as the statement you want to make and how you plan to reflect your personality through your choice of furniture and décor. Not sure where to start? Look at your wardrobe for inspiration: you're bound to find that certain shades make a more frequent appearance than others. These are the colours you should concentrate on.
Know when to be neutral. Although you may want to go all out with colour, remember that the strong shade you love right now might not evoke the same positive emotions in years to come. Instead of redoing your home every few months, use colour as an accent only. "It's best to keep your larger items, like couches, a neutral shade, and add in pops of colour with scatters, statement chairs or rugs," advises Alon Sachs, co-founder of Mobelli Furniture + Living. He also says it's best to stick to a single colour palette: if you wish to bring in different colours, make sure they are in harmony with each other. Clashing is a no-no. Check the colour wheel if you're not sure which shades are complementary.
Make sure that no single colour dominates, says Zane Pretorius of Block & Chisel. The best way to do this, he adds, is by balancing your hero tone (usually a bright) with neutrals.
Use colour to play with the dimension of your room. For instance, Pretorius points out that painting the wall furthest from the entrance to a room in a darker colour creates a perspective of distance.

Introduction to Concepts of Complexity Science
Presented by Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam
President, New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI)
Wednesday, November 20, 2019
10:00am - 11:00am
Potomac Institute for Policy Studies
Ballston Metro Center Office Towers
901 North Stuart Street, 12th floor
Arlington, VA 22203
Identifying what is important to focus on (what matters) is the essence of effective strategic decision making and policy. In this presentation Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam will review the capabilities of complexity science to provide that focus as well as quantitative analyses that can be built to provide decision support. Rooted in mathematics developed in physics that transcends calculus and statistical assumptions, complexity science provides essential concepts that are necessary to identify the important information in data for strategic decision making in both the public and private sector. He will provide brief reviews of previous applications, including: the use of ethnic demography to determine areas of ethnic conflict; the role of food prices in the Arab Spring; the combination of these factors in specific countries, e.g. Yemen and Syria; the relationship of revolutionary activity to national stability in the aftermath of the Arab Spring; trend following and panic in the financial crisis; the dynamics of social interaction and fragmentation around the world; Fed policy and its impact on economic growth, polarization and its impact on democracy; and the impact of changing global connectivity on pathogen evolution and pandemics. We have used these insights to advise policy makers about the financial crisis, diplomatic and military engagement in Egypt and Syria, and the Ebola outbreak responses in West Africa and DRC. Depending on audience interest he will also touch on private sector applications, e.g., in supply chain optimization and organizational dynamics. The talk will not present the underlying mathematical frameworks, so that no mathematics background is needed for participants.
Professor Yaneer Bar-Yam holds an SB and PhD in physics from MIT. Since the late 1980s he has contributed to founding the field of complex systems science, introducing fundamental mathematical rigor, real world application, and educational programs for new concepts and insights of this field. His work quantitatively analyzes a wide range of scientific and real world problems such as the origins and impacts of market crashes, social unrest, ethnic violence, military conflict and pandemics, the structure and dynamics of social networks, as well as the bases of creativity, panic, evolution and altruism. He has advised the Chairman's Action Group at the Pentagon about global social unrest and the crises in Egypt and Syria, the National Security Council and the National Counter Terrorism Council on global strategy, the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group about military force transformation, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Congressman Barney Frank, about market regulation and the financial crisis, the UN and World Health Organization about pandemic control the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about delivery of prevention services and control of hospital infections, and other government organizations, NGOs, and corporations on using principles and insights from complex systems science. He has authored more than 200 research papers in professional journals, including Science, Nature, PNAS, American Naturalist, and Physical Review Letters, and has 4 patents. In addition to having taught more than 2,000 graduate students, professionals and executives, he has been a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and the MIT Media Laboratory.

Absurd humour in a car ad? Brilliant. Absurd humour based on a human foible in a car ad? What a wonderful way to shake up a genre riddled with sameness and clichés.
The Monkeys' latest Holden campaign is called Not To be Outdone. It's for the Holden Colorado and it's about a bloke competing with a goat to reach the highest peak. The directing decisions, by Goodoil's Hamish Rothwell, are superb.
The aim of the campaign, of course, is to show that the Colorado can take the tough stuff and presumably won't be outdone by its competitors. That message is unlikely to be overlooked or forgotten.
"The ad's strength is that it's simple but unexpected," stated Ant Keogh, The Monkeys chief creative officer, Melbourne.
"It's hugely entertaining while subtly showing off driving performance and ruggedness."
The campaign is running in broadcast, out of home advertising, digital, radio, press and on Holden-owned social channels.

Generis Technology Ltd, part of the Landis+Gyr Group
"Explorer has helped Generis Technology Ltd, part of the Landis+Gyr Group, to modernise its legacy Forms application using APEX. Through this investment, Generis reiterated its continued commitment to offering its clients the very best in security, user experience, and functionality.
Explorer adapted to the needs of Generis, providing a trusted team of developers to supplement in-house resource. The product modernisation will now lead to a potential reduction in licence and support costs, the ability to enter new markets with improved multi-lingual support, and to support a subscription model for software and services, all of which will help Generis to accelerate growth freed from architectural constraints."
"At BMI Healthcare, Oracle Application Express (APEX) is used as a core development platform alongside Oracle PeopleSoft ERP and other Oracle products. APEX provides BMI with a robust and cost effective rapid application development platform to create visually attractive, yet highly functional, applications much faster and more efficiently than other tools we evaluated. There is no complex middleware and infrastructure to deploy, so coupled with the benefit that APEX is a no- cost feature of the Oracle Database, APEX helps keep our total cost of ownership as low as possible. Whilst our own developers are experts in APEX, we work with Explorer as our Oracle partner to benefit from their flexibility and expertise to accelerate our use of APEX and assist us with other Oracle products. We specifically benefit from their APEX development resource and is our preferred route to delivery than hiring independent contractors."
Government Agency
"During the past 2 years, we have engaged with Explorer to deliver several distinct work package that have that have formed part of a large government project. For this, Explorer has had to adapt to the Agile working practices and deliver to standards required by this demanding client. We have found that Explorer consistently exceed customer expectations and delivered high quality code on time and to the required standard. They stand out as a team and able to use technology to deliver innovative solutions to complex problems. As an organisation, they are engaged with the developer community and understand that importance of contributing to the community knowledge base. For the standard of delivery and customer service I would give Explorer a 5-star rating."
Close Bros
"Java development has been, and will remain, a fundamental component to our development strategies but we needed an alternative to deliver data centric applications faster to the business. APEX was selected and we chose Explorer to help support us by on boarding our developers to make sure we gain maximum value from the framework. Explorer not only provided training and coaching to our team but we also outsource development projects to them rather than the traditional approach of hiring a contract resource. Their development team is second to none, can execute on a request for resource quickly and provides us with consistency at an extremely competitive rate."
"MDM specializes in interpreting global regulatory disclosure rules for finance and investment companies. The company provides MDM Shareholding and Disclosure System, an automated monitoring solution for financial institutions that are required to disclose details of shareholdings to financial regulators, ensuring that they always remain fully compliant with world-wide disclosure rules. Customers include investment banks, asset managers, and investment managers across the globe. We chose Oracle for its scalability, flexibility, and reliability, as well as its strong reputation in the financial services sector. Speed of deployment was also critical, and by choosing Oracle Application Express and hosting in the Oracle Cloud, we were up and running within just a couple of months. Explorer is our partner of choice for APEX development and Managed Cloud Services; they have a large team with a deep understanding of APEX and Oracle Cloud and were the right choice to entrust this critical development plan with. We have a great relationship with Explorer and the team really understands and supports our business."
