On this day in Lewis & Clark history...
The Expedition splits into two parties. Clark travels south through the Bitterroot valley camping near present Hamilton, Montana. Lewis heads north and has difficulty rafting across Clark's Fork near present Missoula, Montana.
From the journals...
Thursday 3rd 1806 July.
we got up our horses and boath parties Set out about one time. Capts. Lewis & Clark parted here with their parties & proceed. on I with Capt. Clark up the flat head River.
Bitterroot valley sunrise
Thursday July 3rd 1806.
I proceeded down Clark's river seven miles with my party of nine men and five indians. here the Indians recommended our passing the river which was rapid and 150 yds. wide. as we had no other means of passing the river we busied ourselves collecting dry timber for the purpose of constructing rafts
Clark Fork island near Missoula, Montana
Thursday July 3rd 1806
I observed 2 Species of Clover in this vally one the white Clover Common in the Western parts of the U. States, the other Species which is much Smaller than either the red or white both it's leaf & blossom
the horses are excessively fond of this Species.

COPELABS Coordination: Paulo Mendes
In user provided networks, forwarding and routing challenges differ from the traditional Internet routing scenarios due to the fact that end user devices may behave as network nodes and nodes are highly nomadic. Also in user provided networks, data is exchanged based on individual user interests and expectations, control and management requires de-centralized and distributed solutions and routing may take advantage of user mobility patterns.
The characteristics of user-provided networks require two basic properties: robustness from an end-to-end perspective, and intermittent connectivity support as such the UCR (User-Centric Routing) project will consider recent trends in wireless communications that will be used to develop novel routing metrics, algorithms and protocols for scenarios where information routing and relaying may be provided by end-user devices, and where networking nodes are essentially characterized by having restricted resources and a highly nomadic behaviour.

Baby Prams
Baby prams are probably the most important buying decision a first time mum and dad has to make. Mums and Dad's buy 5 Baby Prams over the life of a child in an effort to find the right one. There are a number of reasons for this – Firstly, most baby stores are not spending time with parents to understand each customers individual needs. There is no single pram that suits everyone's specific needs – everyone has a different lifestyle and different needs when it comes to Baby Prams. We also do not sell every brand under the sun. We have specifically chosen the brands and models that we sell as each one has a unique benefit for different parents needs. If you don't yet know which features suit your needs and would like advice on the right pram for your specific needs, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone so we can give you the advice you need. We don't want you to become a statistic.

WINCHESTER, VA - American Woodmark Corporation net sales rose 18 percent to $256.3 million second quarter, pacing ahead of first quarter. For the year so far, American Woodmarket sales are up 13 percent to $487.5 million in fiscal year 2016.
Sales improved across all its channels - home improvement retailers, builders and cabinet dealers. Net income was $18.2 million for the period, more than double the $7.7 million from last year. American Woodmark's board will spend some of those earnings on a stock repurchase program of up to $20 million.
Sales of cabinetry for remodeling increased 17% during the second quarter, American Woodmark said in its SEC filing.
"Our Waypoint brand represented approximately 9% of our overall sales and grew by 40% during the second quarter and more than 30% during the first half of fiscal 2016. . . Management believes that the company has improved market share within the dealer channel while maintaining market share within big box retailers. However, we understand big box home improvement retailers have lost market share to other channels, primarily independent dealers due to the more affluent nature of their customer base.
Regarding new construction markets, American Woodmark says it believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of cabinet activity. Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose by more than 15% during the second quarter of the Company's fiscal 2016 over the comparable prior year period.
Sales in the new construction channel increased by more than 18% in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2016 when compared with the same periods of fiscal 2015. The Company believes it continued to over index the market due to share penetration with our builder partners and the health of the markets where we concentrate our business.
American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and through a network of independent distributors. The Company presently operates nine manufacturing facilities and seven service centers across the country.

UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group, today introduced a new bundled payment program for maternity care to help support the well-being of moms and babies before and after delivery by closing gaps in care and encouraging healthy, full-term pregnancies. The new bundled payment program will help close gaps in care and encourage healthy, full-term pregnancies, supporting moms' and babies' health and reducing risks of complications before and after delivery.
Bundled Payment Method
The bundled payment method reimburses a care provider or hospital for a defined episode of care (EOC), such as prenatal, delivery and postpartum services, under a single fee or payment. This is a shift away from the common fee-for-service structure in which a care provider is paid for each treatment, appointment or test, generating multiple claims within a single, broader episode of care. Bundled payment methods reward care providers for value over volume, helping align incentives and linking reimbursement to the delivery of coordinated, efficient care.
Bundled Payment Program for Maternity Care Overview
The new bundled payment program for maternity care has already launched with two healthcare providers, Lifeline Medical Associates in New Jersey and Privia Medical Group – Gulf Coast in Texas, to help encourage more coordinated care and better health outcomes for expectant mothers enrolled in UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored health plans. By year-end 2019, UnitedHealthcare will expand the bundled payment program to as many as 20 care provider groups, including ones affiliated with the U.S. Women's Health Alliance, a national organization of leading health care practices. Mothers enrolled in UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored plans will have access to the program at no additional cost.
New Payment Model Builds on UHC's Existing Matnernity Program
The payment model builds on the UnitedHealthcare Maternity program, which has helped women by contributing to fewer non-medically indicated cesarean (C-section) deliveries, reduced both pre-delivery hospital admissions and the average length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and decreased other delivery and newborn-related costs.
The C-section rate for low-risk pregnancies among women enrolled in UnitedHealthcare's employer-sponsored health plans in 2018 was 18 percent,1 lower than the 23.9 percent target set by the federal government. Approximately one-third of babies nationwide are born via C-section, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Studies have shown that early, non-medically indicated C-sections are linked to a higher risk of complications, including infection, hemorrhage or blood clots, and admission to the NICU.
The UnitedHealthcare Healthy Pregnancy mobile app and Maternity program provides expectant women with personalized content and 24/7 nurse support. Nurses can coordinate care, help with the management of chronic conditions, and connect pregnant women with behavioral health care teams for emotional and mental health support. These resources are provided in collaboration with Optum, UnitedHealth Group's health services business. Employers can offer these resources to their employees at no additional cost as part of their benefit plan
UnitedHealthcare's Commitment to Value-based Care
The maternity care bundled payment program is part of UnitedHealthcare's ongoing commitment to value-based care. By the end of 2020, the company expects to have $75 billion in care provider reimbursements tied to value-based arrangements annually, which support the health of UnitedHealthcare plan participants at no additional charge.
Why It Matters
"These resources can help improve access to quality, coordinated care, offering important support to women and families before, during and after delivery," said Janice Huckaby, M.D., who leads UnitedHealthcare's women's health initiatives as a senior vice present and regional chief medical officer. "Value-based care programs such as this help improve clinical quality, patient safety and satisfaction, and care coordination among physicians, with the goal of reducing costs."

Ricky Martin teams up with Mr Worldwide for a raunchy, upbeat disco-flavored jam, Mr. Put It Down. With Pitbull spitting out his signature licks and Ricky's falsetto versus they make a great pair!
In one of the best lyric videos we've seen this year, all the action takes place in a tattoo parlour. Pitbull starts off by boasting about how good he is with the ladies and then Ricky joins in – "Who has a lifetime, baby? We've got the night right now. When you see what I'm planning, you're gonna call me Mr. Put It Down."
Ricky released his 10th studio album, A Quien Quiera Escuchar – a completely Spanish album, back in mid February and now we have the first single from album number 11. The new album is more of an international affair with all the tracks being in English and is scheduled to be released later this year via Sony Music Latin.

Oh Canada...
A hateful man posted a YouTube video saying he would reward $1000 to any child who spied on Muslim children praying.
Fear is an unusual entity. More often than not, it is unwarranted and unreal. But it becomes the biggest reality some of us will ever experience. And if we aren't careful, it becomes us. It becomes the people around us.
A lot has already been said about Islamophobia. A lot has been spewed in the broad spectrum of bigotry, hate, prejudice, terrorism and intolerance. In Canada, in the wake of the recent racist attack on a Quebec mosque early this year, the Canadian government decided to pass an anti-Islamophobia motion known as M103. As per the bill, the government felt compelled to "recognise the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear" and "condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination".
As expected, the reaction received wasn't peachy. According to the surprised, Liberal Member of Parliament Omar Alghabra,
"It's troubling. [The motion was] a very non-partisan, symbolic, good, positive motion. And I thought it would be like [an] 'apple pie and motherhood' type of statement."
Contrary to Albhabra's expectations, it wasn't. Amid people of other faiths and even amongst Muslims in Canada, a startling difference of opinion arose. Some people mistook this as the government's undue inclination towards Muslims, while some initiated arguments on restricting freedom of speech. Upon asking friends, family and acquaintances about their take on the motion, a majority of them scoffed at the decision for a variety of reasons – some didn't want undue attention when the world was already watching their every move, while some called it a shallow political tactic with no real meat to it; some called it unnecessary as it was vague, biased and ineffective, while some remarked that if it were better articulated, it would have made more sense. However, in a moment of appreciation, some people said that it's heart was in the right place and that the government meant well.
I have written about my experience living in Canada plenty of times. For me, Canada has been welcoming beyond words. Even my family and friends who have lived here for decades feel the same way. But then I watch the news and read disturbing accounts of racist attacks in Canada. I hear about incidents that open the floodgates of questions, fears and a whole lot of hullabaloo – a seemingly endless cycle that dies down when the media discovers new breaking news to pursue. And I think to myself, maybe this decision isn't such a bad idea. But then the crucial question starts to linger – are these measures enough to control the ever-growing issue of racism in Canada? My question was soon answered by two very recent and nauseating incidents.
A hateful man posted a YouTube video saying he would reward $1000 to any child who spied on Muslim children who prayed and exhibited malicious content during school. It is interesting to note that prayers have been taking place in many Canadian public schools for more than two decades, peacefully without any problem. A local Muslim mother relayed her personal experience where her Jewish principal had offered a secluded prayer area for her in high school. It goes without saying, school authorities, parents, local government officials retaliated with utmost disgust and anger. Parents were sent emails and personalised phone calls were made condemning this abhorrent action and advising the community to be more vigilant.
Another was at a Toronto public school council meeting. A bunch of people resorted to lewd actions and speech against Islam, Muslims, etc. But an amazing thing happened. A courageous young lady, who was not Muslim by faith, stood up to what those men truly were – plain and simple bullies. It seemed to be the same playground, the egotistical kind that has always existed. And will unfortunately, always exist. She stood for all that is brave and hopeful left in us humans. She was the fearless warrior each and every one of us needs to be in these horrid times.
Did any of the people involved in these incidents need a political affirmation for doing what was right? This made me realise the power of Hazrat Muhammad's (pbuh) hadith quoted by Muslim where he said that whosoever sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then let him change it with his tongue; and even then if he is not able to do so, then with his heart.
That's all there is to it really. We don't need a defensive write up to defend Islam and Muslims in Canada. We don't need to fear hate-mongering people, like the one from the video, whose hearts and minds are already doomed and diseased. They are powerless as long as we don't let the fear paralyse us. All we need is to hold on tight to the humanity God has instilled in us, whether we are black, white or brown in skin colour. Whatever faith we uphold, our duty is to stand up against everything that is unjust and wrong. We can't pick and choose what is worthy of condemnation and what isn't. Whether an Indian man is shot for looking like an Arab, or a Synagogue is vandalised, or a black man is stabbed because of racism, or a woman is refused entry into a country because of the way she is dressed. These are incidents that should make us forget our differences and unify against all mutated forms of hate.
So yes, I do commend the Canadian government's attempt to show solidarity with Islam and Muslims. But a large part of the solutions lies within us. Again, I am no expert in the fanciful arts of politics. But I don't have to be one in this matter. I just have to be human to do what is right. Fear should not drive us. Humanity should.

Digital News Roundup – 8 February
Social media platforms facing scrutiny from MPs over vulnerable users
Social media giants are facing action forcing them to "remove illegal content and sign a code of conduct protecting vulnerable users, including children", following a BBC investigation around a teen who took her own life after "viewing distressing material about depression and suicide on Instagram".
The move ties in with Safer Internet Day, where Margot James, the UK's culture and digital minister, was expected to use her speech to promote the new regulatory regime. It also aligns with Instagram head Adam Mosseri writing an open letter in The Telegraph this week, admitting that the platform is "not yet where we need to be on the issues of suicide and self-harm" and saying that it needs to do everything possible to "keep the most vulnerable people who use our platform safe".
A spokesman for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: "Social media companies clearly need to do more to ensure they are not promoting harmful content to vulnerable people. Our forthcoming white paper will set out their responsibilities, how they should be met and what should happen if they are not."
This is just the latest step in ensuring that social media players like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat are taking responsibility for keeping users safe. For more on the news, head over to The Drum.
Facebook celebrates its 15th birthday after rocky 2018
This week saw Facebook celebrate its 15th birthday, marking 15 years since Mark Zuckerberg launched the social media platform from Harvard University. Now, the platform is the most popular social media site in the world, connecting billions of people and serving a previously unheard of amount of content and ads to people all over the world.
Over its life, Facebook experienced a meteoric rise – dominating the world of social media and snapping up competitors in the process, acquiring Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. Unfortunately, however, recent years have seen Zuckerberg come under fire for a host of privacy and ad-related issues, culminating in 2018 being dubbed " the most challenging year for Facebook in its history".
This was largely due to a combination of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, some high-profile departures, and data breaches, with Zuckerberg appearing in front of US lawmakers on Capitol Hill – facing hours of questioning around how the company works. If you didn't see the coverage of the grilling, it's well worth a watch.
2019 is set to be an interesting time for the platform, as it continues to face scrutiny around its process and technology. Can it rebuild the trust it once had? Perhaps only time will tell. Take a look at the history of the company over at The Drum.
Firefox for Android set to block video and audio from auto-playing
The Firefox team have this week confirmed an update to the popular mobile and desktop browser, which will see Firefox 66 block auto-playing video and audio when a page launches on Android.
The update will work across both desktop and mobile and will default stop audio and video when loading a page. For anyone who enjoys auto-playing noise, you'll be able to manually change the permissions for each site individually within Firefox for Desktop, creating your own whitelists of websites.
However, for the people who hate clicking on a link or new tab and being confronted with a wall of random sound from an unknown source – this update is a very welcome addition. The Firefox team have confirmed a March 19 release date, so keep your eyes peeled for the launch. Check out more on the detail at 9to5 Google.
Users can now lock WhatsApp using Face ID or Touch ID
Users of WhatsApp for iOS will now be able to protect the app using their phone's biometric security – with the option of using either Face ID or Touch ID to restrict access to the software, depending on your iPhone model.
This new layer of security will mean that your messages will be protected even if your phone itself is unlocked, but it can't be implemented on a chat-by-chat basis. You'll also want to keep an eye on your notifications; message previews will still show, and you'll be able to reply without unlocking the app.
If you fancy giving it a go, head to the app's Privacy menu within Account Settings to enable the feature. For now, it is only available for the iOS version of the app, but rumours suggest an Android release could be on the way soon. Read more at The Verge.
Google to remove Notifications Widget from next month
Google users have been spotting a notification this week, declaring that the Notifications Widget in the navigation bar will be being removed from next month.
The often-used feature was introduced back in 2011 alongside Google+, aimed at delivering notifications for the social network on whatever Google service you were using – although it soon grew to include notifications for Hangouts Chat and Google Photos.
The news was delivered to users from within the Notification Widget itself, with a warning message appearing:
"After March 7, 2019, notifications for Google web products will no longer be accessible from the navigation bar. If you'd like to receive similar notifications in the future, you can update the notification settings for your individual Google products."
With Google+ for consumers set to be deprecated in April, it's perhaps not surprising that the notifications option is being cut too. If you still want to see these notifications head into the apps and enable alerts in settings, or read more at 9to5 Google.
230 new Emojis set to be released for 2019
Just when you thought you couldn't go any longer without a flamingo emoji or a bionic arm – the final emoji list for 2019 has now been approved.
This is the sixth major emoji update since 2014 and includes a total of 230 new emojis – with everything from a flamingo, a waffle, a Hindu Temple and a guard dog. The new additions also work to expand the scope of people that can be represented, with emoji couples featuring a mix of skin tones, a gender-inclusive couple, and people with various disabilities – including a deaf person, an ear with a hearing aid, and a man or woman in a motorised wheelchair.
Of the 230 new emojis, the Emoji 12.0 release is comprised of 59 distinct new emojis that have never been seen before – and we can't wait to see how people will use them. Find out more over on the Emojipedia blog.

SOS hopeful Gessler warns of commies under every bed
Uh-oh. If Gov. Bill Ritter actually invites Scott Gessler for a Colorado secretary of state tryout, he's gonna have some 'splainin' to do — what with the major rule being no one is supposed to embarrass the governor and the Republican attorney already called some of Ritter's big-dollar supporters Maoists.

#ChaYeRyun Opens Up About Personal Struggles Due To Her Father's Fraud And Apologizes To Victims https://t.co/vR7IEKgvee pic.twitter.com/AfIKHJMhii— Soompi (@soompi) November 28, 2018
On November 28, MyDaily reported exclusively that they had received information that a man who had been sentenced to three years in prison for land trade fraud was the father of actress Cha Ye Ryun.
When the actress was contacted for comment, she acknowledged the reports and apologized for her father's actions. She also opened up about her family history for the first time to give a proper explanation to the victims of her father's fraud. She stated, "Ever since I was 19 years old, I have not seen my father for the past 15 years, but I have still done my best to pay off his debt for the past 10 years."
Cha Ye Ryun said that after she made her debut, and her name and face became well-known, "People I didn't know became coming to filming locations or our agency, and they would ask me to pay back the money my father borrowed from them. Some would hold on to me and explain their situation, and others would get physically violent towards me." She said that she had been scared of her father's actions becoming public, but after hearing that people had lent her father money out of trust as he had used her name and status as a celebrity, "I felt a sense of responsibility, so I took out my own loans to repay their debts. There have been times when I used all of my salary to repay the money my father had borrowed."
She confessed, "Every day, I was terrified of opening my eyes. I would repay one debt, and then another debt would face me, and that was the life I lived." She revealed that she had repaid approximately one billion won (approximately $883,745) for her father.
Cha Ye Ryun explained that her parents are currently divorced. She said, "I just keep hoping there are no more victims of my father's actions. I will do my best to resolve the situation. Once again, I apologize to everyone."
Cha Ye Ryun's father received a prison sentence of three years for fraud in 2015. At the time, the news described him as "The father of a famous actress." Cha Ye Ryun's father was charged after approaching the victim and gaining their trust by using his daughter's name and celebrity status. He offered to buy the victim's land in Paju, Gyeonggi Province for one billion won (approximately $883,745), but only paid a portion and promised to pay the full amount at a later date. He then used the land as collateral to buy rice crops, which he then cultivated and sold for a profit of approximately 750 million won (approximately $662,940).
The fraud victim stated that their parents had lost their life savings to Cha Ye Ryun's father. They gave their reasoning for revealing that the famous actress mentioned in 2015 was Cha Ye Ryun by stating, "We know that Cha Ye Ryun did not directly have a hand in this fraud case. However, we wanted to report this because her father used her name to commit his fraud, and he only received three years in prison for his crimes. He will be released from prison next year, so we felt the need to report this so there won't be any more victims of his fraud."

Want to go camping badly but in deep trouble to pick the right thing? No problem, this guide will help you to pick the best tent for backpacking.
Don't think that it is a simple task; you will have to struggle to take a decision. Why? Because there are types of tents to choose and trust me all of them looks good.
As you are going camping, you already know that the tent will keep you safe and you will have to spend lots of time there. So, the tent needs to be protective and perfect.
If you are one of them, who is having a nightmare about picking tents than sitting back and relax. Go through this wonderful one and pick the one that will suit you and make your camping experience a wonderful one.
Table of Contents
Before starting with a guide, at first, you have to what type of tent you need. Still confused? Hopefully following things will be helpful to choose the right tent.
Yes, you have to know which tent you need? But first, you have to know what they mean.
This tent is for three seasons summer, autumn and spring. You cannot use this tent for the winter season. The material of this tent is flysheet made, and it can endure raindrop and hot air. Usually, they come in lightweight and can be set up easily. The panels of this tent mesh that makes better ventilation and spacious.
This tent is for the rest 4 seasons. But mainly it is for winter time. You can say this tent is a winter tent. The design of the tent is unique like it has a geodesic pole design, this pole keeps the tent stable even in fierce wind and snow. There is no mesh in this tent, and if there is one, you can close it with a zipper.
So, you can guess, when you are going to pick the tent you have to know, in which season you will go on camping. If you want to go in the winter time, then pick the 4-season tent and for other time 3 season tent is best.
As we are talking about backpacking tents, you have to think about the capacity. You will find tents with a capacity of 1 person to 4 persons. When you are going camping, make sure you know how many in the group.
But keep in mind that if the tent capacity is large than the tent will be heavy. Another thing is you have to consider the floor space.
The best range is 1.2-1.7 square meter. If you get more than this, it will be tough for bag packing.
If you go camping only by yourself, then take the 2 person tent. It is light, but if you are in a group then you have to manage a bigger tent.
This tent comes with single wall tents, and the fabric is waterproof. They are light in weight and easy to set up. You will not have to face a problem when a storm take place. But you have to vent the tent perfectly.
You will find this double tent wall. The material is flysheet and outside is fully waterproof and the inner one is not. This is the best feature of this tent. This tent has multiple doors and has enough storage space. So it is obvious that this tent is heavy.
For dry camping and light in weight, single wall tent is the perfect one. For a rainy season, you can't take any option than using a double wall tent.
Weight is an important factor when you go for a tent. If you go for a 3 season tent, pick it little larger than your requirements.
And if you are going for 4 season tent pick the strongest one that will protect you from worse weather situation. So the weight of the tent depends on the weather condition.
The below features are needed to be in your tent. Make sure to check them:
The entrance of the flysheet tent extends the door. If the entrance is good in size, then it is good. You can store your things easily. When a storm is happening outside, you can cook in this part easily. But be careful when you are cooking.
Among all the tents, the free-standing tent is easy to set up. Some tents have poles. You have to pick the one that will help you with camping.
When you are camping in dry weather, ventilation of your tent is very important. Because it will ensure you breath ability when you are sleeping at night, and you will stay dry inside the tent.
This feature is up to your personal preference. One is enough, but if the tent has two, then it will be the best.
About picking the best tent for backpacking, you have to know your budget, preference. Check the consideration points than decide which tents are best for your camping. If you have less budget than go for the small and light tent.
And the budget is not a problem then go for the bigger one. If you want my recommendation than I will say pick the one that will keep you protected and makes our camping experience excellent.
It is wise to invest in a good tent as it will give you a service for a long time.
I know it is tough to decide to pick the right tent, but you have to think about your safety as you will stay away from home.
A good tent will stand for you in the worst weather condition like storm and snow. Don't rush, do research and take experts recommendation. It helps.

Departure of an alien, and other thoughts
The Alien in my house has returned to his home planet, taking the captured female humanoid with him. She practically lived here with us for the past 2-3 months. No, they didn't get married, but the Greyhound Bus carried them both away this past Wednesday evening. I gave them both a hug and wished them luck in their new adventures.
Some Aliens and some grandmothers probably just weren't meant to live in the same house. Too much age difference. His music didn't make sense to me and mine was all too country for him. His constant, "Whaaazzup Nana," grated. All those squawks and beeps and raps from those things stuck in his ears were nerve-wracking. I guess if I'm totally honest, I'm just too ancient to be around aliens anymore. My sense of time and space, right and wrong, good and bad is just not geared for the teen-age male and I was probably too quick to react to warnings of "Danger, danger."
So life at my house is slowly returning to normal, whatever normal means. A friend once said, "Normal is just a setting on the clothes dryer." Nick and Nora are now my only and best companions. They do talk back but "Meow," is fairly easy enough for me to understand. Food, water, clean litter box and many nice strokes and face rubs keeps them happy.
I am excited to think about getting back to a more organized writing schedule. Something about other people in my house and my brain sometimes had trouble focusing on my work. Some people write in any situation, but it's always been hard for me to focus when I'm constantly interrupted by other noises and talking and trying to manage a taxi service. I know writers who have small urchins who live in their homes and who seem to be able to turn them out and keep to their writing schedule. I think I could do things like that when I was younger but that's been so many years ago I'm not sure I remember.
I have a feeling that after a few weeks I'll be able write a good story about dealing with aliens in my house and most likely it will be a good story. Young aliens seem have a particular love of drama. Almost everything they want to see and be and do has to be the most important thought and deed of the day. They also live only in the moment. I can barely get through a day without a little bit of planning and routine.
In the meantime, the anthology that I co-edited, MURDER HERE, MURDER THERE is due out any moment. I actually received author copies in the mail and was able to hold the book in my hand. That's always an awesome experience. I'm very proud of the work my co-editor, R. Barri Flowers and I did on this anthology. He and I both feel it's better than the first, although, MURDER PAST, MURDER PRESENT was excellent. We have nineteen writers, all members of the American Crime Writers League, all award-nominated, and/or award-winning authors. The stories are actually set from East to West Coast and points in between with some overseas locales thrown in for extra added flavor. Our publisher, Twilight Times, brings out lovely books and our editor/publisher Lida Quillen is a delight to work with.
Today I attended the Heart of TX Sisters In Crime meeting and our program was by the Barbara Burnet Smith Mentoring Authors Foundation. Barbara was a mystery writer, mother, grandmother, mentor, wife and friend. She authored the Purple Sage mysteries, a short novel and several short stories and had started a second mystery series with a wonderful character whose hobby was beading. Barbara and her son, WD had loved and traded and played with beads for many years. She was a member of HOT-SinC and was President of Sisters in Crime International, 1999-2000.
Before she was ever published and I only had a couple of short stories published, she, Susan Rogers Cooper, Jeff Abbott and I formed a critique group. Susan and I were the only ones published at the time. Susan had three or four novels to her credit, all in the Milt Kovak mystery series.
After Barb was published she began mentoring other mystery writers, helping to inspire new comers to the field. With this foundation, we honor her each year. Aspiring writers send a few chapters and an short synopsis to published mentor authors. I've been mentoring almost every year. Each year W.D. Smith, Barbara's son and the SinC chapter give out the Sage Award, named for Barbara's Purple Sage series. Chosen by a group of writing peers, the foundation honors the mentor chosen and to show appreciation for their mentoring.
Barbara was one of my best friends and I miss her, but am pleased and excited to help mentor new and up-coming mystery writers each year.

Frankly, as a stay-at-home dad & writer, I find it tough to deal with kids underfoot when working, myself.
And now, Summer is once more upon us. Their last day of school is this coming Wednesday.
Thankfully, they're becoming later risers, so I'm thinking I might adjust my schedule to: (A) Do stuff w/ the kids in late morning & through the afternoon, (B) Have dinner ready for my wife at 5:30, then spend some "family time" together for a few hours, and (C) write late at night.
Living in the desert, with a converted-garage office cooled by a window A/C unit & 3 fans, I think this might also help cut down on my electric bill. LOL

I'm looking forward to the anthology, Jan!

- Fran Rizer said...
Good morning, Jan. There is something special about being able to set your own schedule without other influences, and I'm happy to know you've regained that freedom. Your opening was delightful, and I, too, wish Alien and his humanoid happiness and good luck.
Can't wait for the anthology!

- Leigh Lundin said...
Humorous article, Jan. I get the impression you're awfully fond of your Alien.
- 21 May, 2012 07:08
- David Dean said...
Lovely piece, Jan. Ah yes...the drama of youth! All that passion, and usually about all the wrong things.
Like you, I need a bit of quiet to work.
- 21 May, 2012 08:41
- Jan Grape said...
Thanks guys for your comments. Yes, I do love the alien even though he can drive me to distraction...lol. Normal for grandsons, right. Fran, I've been intending to write, dear and will do so post-haste. You are in my thoughts quite often. The anthology was fun to do, reading so many great stories by so many awesome writers.

Hey Dixon, I came up with a splendid idea to cut the AC bill and food bill also. Here in TX we have HEB grocery stores. I was in one in Bee Caves the other day. It's one of the newer, huge ones. I was roaming through the produce and frozen food sections and was struck by the fact that these areas of the store were exzceedingly cool. So I thought why not come spend the day here. I can sit in one of their electric carts which would make for an easy visit. They also have food demonstrators giving away free food samples so I can graze about half the day. I can turn my AC at home up high so it won't run all day which will cut my electric bill drastically. The only problem the store is 30 miles away. Got to come up with a gasoline solution. OK there's an HEB store here 5 miles away, but it's not as large, but it is cool. There's also a good size Wal-Mart so think I can work this...surely.

- Dixon Hill said...
Hey, Jan, I'm all over it! HEB groceries; haven't seen any in the Valley of the Sun, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Meanwhile, maybe I can convince the Basha's market on the next block to let me write in the meat locker. That would keep me close to my favorite foods (steak, roast, ribs, etc.), plus it would feed my craving for puns, since they've got meat hooks in there, upon which I could "hang around" while writing. LOL

Watch NBC Nightly News Tonight
Who knows if they will even have him on. Like he said, it will probably be a two second shot.
Still going crazy here preparing for our upcoming board meeting in less then two weeks. I really think I'm getting too old for this...

Christine--I watched NBC national news--no mention of story.
I assume it would be a positive story.
What a great kind of organization to work for. My husband works for the state education association in PA.
Hope things calm down for you. Reminds me of a former life for me--when I worked for the state medical society. Getting ready for board meetings was always mass panic!

I know! I have to admit (not to my boss though) that I was switching back and for from the news to The Simpsons so I wasn't absolutely sure I didn't miss it. Glad to know I didn't. Well, maybe tomorrow night?
Honestly, not that anybody should care!

So, the story was on tonight (Thurs). It was a well-done story on early childhood education, although the section for your boss was brief--like one sentence.
But I did see the whole story.

I'm glad you saw it Donna! I did too. At least he made one good point! You just never know how things are going to be edited when you sit down for a tv interview.
In my rush I didn't fully read your last post. Yes, my organization does great work. It is not my passion, as that would be working with/for animals, but they pay a good wage, great benefits and I know I've done something to advance the education of young folks. I've worked in the for profit world (for about four years in the mid-80s) and it just is not a good fit.

- I don't have to be nice to everyone but I need to be fair to all.
- I don't have to let insensitivity of some people ruin my mood, I need to just learn to apply "humour techniques" that I have learnt so far from Afrobabe and Vera [the birthday girl].
- It does not matter how truthful and considerate of others you might be, you will still get cross by others, your intentions misinterpreted sometimes but the guiding principle should always be about your conscience.
- You will sometimes offend others whether you are in the right or wrong. Be brilliant about when to say "sorry" and when to ask for one and if it is not offered to you, move on.
- Be strategic and economic with criticism, advice even help rendered to others, there may be need for others to learn from their own mistakes...
- It is not compulsory to get along with everyone, but it is necessary to learn how to work with even those you might never get along with.
- Always remember that the principles above are not meant to be static! Even the saints are not perfect and life is always going to be a work in progress.
My aspiration is to be one of the builders of a world of equality, a world where diversity is respected and value for people's lives is paramount. A world where religion and culture are not used as weapons of dispute and destruction, where leaders serve and not steal, where everyone does not pretend to love each other but does so straight from the heart.

Two Thousand & Twenty – A New Year and the start of a new decade. I do like the start of a new year. I don't make any resolutions as such, but I do feel like it's a fresh new book with 365 (or 366 this year) of empty blank pages for us to fill in and at the end of the year look back at our adventures, achievements, memories and just daily life of our year.
I added my 2019 highlights on Instagram and I really did enjoy going through a year of our photos to see what we got up to. Seeing when the seasons changed, where we went on days out, what milestones we've had and any travel we did. It's amazing to see just how much we did get up to. Seeing the children on a day to day basis they don't change much but when you look back over the year you can indeed see so many changes, from them getting taller, losing baby teeth, their faces changing and just looking older than they did 12 months previously.
2019 seemed to whizz by & I feel like I have neglected my blog and I wasn't giving my all into my Instagram (how hard is it to grow on there!!!) so this year I am definitely going to put more effort in. I'm not going to put any pressure on saying I'm going to post X amount of posts per week or I am going to post about X, Y & Z, instead I'm going to just take it as it comes, but just be more regular and see if I can get my blogging & Instagram groove back. I must also try and learn more 'behind the scenes' a bit more too and try to get my head around the ins and outs of it all instead of wrecking my poor husbands head!
In a nutshell, 2019 saw us celebrate our 17th Wedding Anniversary, Lauren taking her GCSE's and finishing school, having Prom and then starting sixth form. Caiden finished Year 1 and started in Year 2, he lost 4 baby teeth, had his room decorated and learnt how to ride his bike. We had a wedding anniversary trip to London and a family holiday to Walt Disney World in Florida which was AMAZING.
Like I said I make no resolutions as such but things I do want to do better at this year and things I would like to achieve are:
- Drink more water – I badly need to do this.
- Try to get into either swimming or cycling on my days off
- Decorate at least Lauren's bedroom, our lounge/dining room and the hallway (if we decorate more then great!)
- Visit London at least twice for a weekend – we visit London fairly regularly – there's always SO much stuff to do as a family and we love it – we only managed to go once last year.
- Book our summer holiday and maybe another little sneaky extra one in somewhere.
- Blog & Instagram more, put more effort in and try to increase my following.

The Academy and Safety section on AVCOM is intended as a section dedicated to promoting aviation safety and learning. It is from this type of environment that individuals should feel at ease to ask questions and have them answered by the more experienced aviators in our forum community. For this reason, this section will be moderated to a very high compliance standard.
Safety awareness and possible future accident prevention is brought about by discussing accidents as and when they happen and speculation about each specific accident as well as typical scenarios relating to each type of accident is encouraged. AVCOM does not purport that any sort of accident investigation is underway in order to apportion blame on any individual, but rather to discuss all probabilities with a view that the vast readership might learn from the knowledge put across and as a tool, might dissuade other aviators from falling into similar traps, etc…
This section requires login access and therefore any individual who browses or participates in this section does so with the full knowledge of the rules pertaining and have agree to abide by those rules.
In order to keep this section at the desired standard, the following RULES and protocol will rigidly be applied by the Moderators:-
- Speculation about accidents is encouraged – any post that attempts to question or suppress speculation will be deleted. (Oxford dictionary: Speculate - Form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence.)
- Names of the deceased in the case of fatal accidents should not be published on AVCOM until their details are reported in at least one main stream media.
- Accident scene pictures may be posted, but pictures of the accident scene may not contain images of the deceased.
- Condolences are not allowed in this section. Once it is clear that a fatality has occurred in any accident, the first avcomer who would like to express condolences should start a condolence topic in the GENERAL SECTION. Any condolences posted in the Academy and Safety section will be deleted.
- Keep to the topic – any posts that stray from the intended topic will be deleted. Discussions that reach the end of their life will be locked at the discretion of the moderators.
- No personal attacks – It is okay to express your view point no matter how radical it might be. Any post that "plays the man and not the ball" will be moderated and a warning issued to the poster. It is therefore important to ensure that any dialogue refrains from insulting or belittling comments.
- Read the whole topic before participating – All too often, individuals only read the last page or so and start asking questions or adding information that has already been posted. Please read the entire topic and all pages BEFORE you post your contribution.
- No idle chatter – Please keep your posts specific and direct in expressing your sentiments. Please do not post comments that might be specific to an individual, but consider that you are addressing the entire AVCOM community.
- Right to post – All individuals are encouraged to share or express their views. It must be understood that the AVCOM community comprises of professional pilots as well as engineers, businessman, hobbyists and folk from all walks of life. Having the right to post in this section means having the right to express your opinion or ask any question. If you are answering a question then please ensure that your answer is technically correct (as we are attempting to promote safety). If it is just your opinion, then please state that clearly at the beginning of your post and the experienced aviators will correct your assumption/comments in the interests of safety. In the same light, if you are an experienced aviator, please refrain from "throwing your hands in the air" when unqualified comments are made and rather put the effort in to write a concise response that will be everyone's advantage an in so doing, being a valued contributor to this forum.
- Humorous comments - Please refrain from humorous comments and "play on words", etc… in this section.
- No Trolls allowed – AVCOM encourages this section for meaningful use. Any individual who attempts to post in this section in order to abuse the privilege or deliberately mislead the audience, will be instantly banned at the moderator's discretion.
- Remain Objective - Please keep emotion out of posts. It is understandable that in many cases emotions can run high, so if your contribution is emotionally charged, then please refrain from posting until you have had a chance to calm down.
- 24 Hour Edit Policy - Once you have posted, you have a window of 24 hours to edit your comments or correct your statements. After 24 hours, posts are automatically locked in order to preserve discussion continuity.

How to Encrypt a PDF
by Hung Nguyen
Password protect PDF files with ... the Smallpdf Protect tool. Not all heroes wear capes!
Password protect PDF files with ... the Smallpdf Protect tool. Not all heroes wear capes!
PDF files are great to use, as they cannot be edited. However, you may not even want others to view the content of your files at times. For such cases, you can lock your PDF files entirely with a password.
Standard PDF password lockers are usually unreliable, and the unencrypted passwords can be easily removed with an online password remover software (admittedly, we have one ourselves).
What an unencrypted password looks like.
To prevent such cases, you can rely on our Protect PDF tool. We lock your PDF files with robust 128-bit AES encryption. With this, it's almost impossible to open the files without the correct password. The tool itself is pretty much self-explanatory, but here are the instructions on how to encrypt a PDF anyway.
How to encrypt a PDF with Smallpdf:
Upload your PDF to encrypt it via the Protect PDF tool.
Enter your password - and DON'T forget it!
Click 'Encrypt PDF' and let the encryption begins.
Download your locked PDF.
128-bit AES encryption for the strongest of all passwords!
Is the process secure?
All files and passwords that are transferred via our online platform are done through secure SSL connections. Furthermore, all files that are uploaded and processed will be deleted after an hour. The passwords that you type into the tool to encrypt your files are also never saved either.
As Smallpdf operates online, you can access our platform via your favorite internet browser (Firefox, Edge, Safari, Chrome, etc.). Similarly, it doesn't matter if you are on a Windows, Linux or Mac, you can always access Smallpdf. Our site is online, all year long!
Can Smallpdf unlock these files?
Not at all. The files are so strongly encrypted that you need to know the exact password to unlock them. Because of this, make sure to write these passwords down. Or better yet, just set a unique password that only you can remember!
How to encrypt a PDF can't get any simpler with the aid of Smallpdf. Our tools are free to use, twice an hour. As such, there's no excuse not to lock your files when they need to. In case you wish to password protect files in other formats, you can always convert them to PDF format to use our tool for the encryption.
Aside from how to encrypt a PDF file, do you have any other questions on how to securely handle your PDF files? Our team is always available to help via our Helpdesk.

Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are heavily infested with weeds resistant to glyphosate (group 9), PPO inhibitors (group 14), and ALS inhibitors (group 2). This has greatly reduced the number of effective postemergence herbicides for controlling these weeds in Roundup Ready 2 (RR2) soybeans. Adoption of Roundup Ready 2 Xtend (glyphosate and dicamba resistant – RR2 Xtend) soybeans and use of dicamba-based herbicides is one option for managing resistant weed populations. Keep
in mind that selection for dicamba resistance occurs each time dicamba is applied, and over reliance on this technology will lead to the development of dicamba-resistant weed populations.
Concurrent with the development of dicamba-resistant soybean varieties, Monsanto and BASF developed new formulations of dicamba herbicides for use in RR2 Xtend soybeans that are supposed to be lower in volatility compared with previous dicamba products. These products are Xtendimax (Monsanto), FeXapan (same thing as Xtendimax, but sold by DuPont), and Engenia (BASF). The federal labels for these herbicides contain very detailed application instructions to reduce risk of off-target movement. However, in 2017, there were thousands of cases of off-target movement affecting millions of acres throughout the soybean growing region of the US. As a result, we provide information here to help reduce risk of off-target movement of dicamba applied to RR2 Xtend varieties. The information provided here is not necessarily inclusive, or meant to replace a thorough knowledge of herbicide labels and other information provided by manufacturers.
In early October 2017, the EPA approved revised labels for Xtendimax, FeXapan, and Engenia. All three products are now restricted use pesticides, meaning an applicators license must be held in order to purchase and apply these products. The labels now also require applicators to attend an annual dicamba or group 4 herbicide-specific training prior to using the products. In addition to becoming restricted use pesticides, these revised labels have more restrictions outlining how the products should be applied. The language regarding buffers and applications near sensitive crops has also been rewritten for clarification on what constitutes sensitive areas and crops, and how the products should be applied.

Interview vidéo - La Provence
Interview vidéo de Corinne Touzet réalisée par le journal La Provence.
Le Figaro : Corinne Touzet and her Journée particulière
Corinne Touzet and Jérôme Anger - Une journée particulière
The actress plays the role of Antonietta with a great sensitivity in the adaptation of the famous movie of Ettore Scola at the festival Off in Avignon.
The success was far from certain. To adapt a masterpiece of the Italian cinema, Une journée particulière , of Ettore Scola for the theater with actors used to television, was crazy. But, the play directed by Christophe Lidon is a success. Corinne Touzet is different from Sophia Loren, except for her looks, but she proves here to be more than just the heroin of the series Une femme d'honneur on TF1.
She moves the public by putting tenderness and sensitivity into the character of Antonietta who is the mother of a large family, always diligent and dominated by a macho husband. Her partner is Jérôme Anger who plays Gabriele (Marcello Mastroianni in the movie). He convinces the public as an brillant intellectual, excluded from the radio because of his homosexuality.
The historial context, 8th May 1938 when Hitler meets Mussolini in Rome and the festivities following this meeting, bring together two vulnerable and solitary individuals, during one day. The clever set-up of white curtains strengthens the acting and the fear of Antonietta to leave her well established environment. The production is sober, simple and rather efficient. Corinne Touzet and Jérôme Anger found each other [...] In 1998 Jacques Weber played Une journée particulière with Françoise Fabian in Nice and afterwards in Paris. This new version has its place in Paris too.
At the Théâtre du Chêne Noir 8bis, rue Sainte-Catherine 84 000 Avignon (Loc. 04 90 86 74 87 ou www.chenenoir.fr) until 28th July 1013.
Source of the article : http://www.lefigaro.fr/theatre/2013/07/09/03003-20130709ARTFIG00497-corinne-touzet-et-sa-journee-particuliere.php
Corinne Touzet: "For me here, this represents the Saint Graal of the theatre"
The preferred female "gendarme" of the French people is taking part in the "theatre adventure" in Avignon, which makes her fans very happy. For this first she has not chosen the easy way by playing the part of Sophia Loren in "Une Journée particulière" by Ettore Scola.
Corinne Touzet, the heroine of the television series "Une femme d'honneur", will be on stage of the Chêne Noir during three weeks. She hereby gives us her impressions on Avignon, the festival and her projects.
How do you tackle this first festival?
This represents a real test for me and I am at the same time impatient and scared to be here as it is a real challenge. I am entering a new family, moving from the television to the theatre and Avignon is the "Saint Graal" of the theatre. I have the impression to have earned my stripes by coming here.
Are you familiar with Avignon and "le Vaucluse"?
Sure, I lived in this region in Maubec. I had to move because of my profession which took me mostly to Paris. It is very emotional for me to be here.
How do you feel about this abundance of plays in the "Off"?
I think indeed that there are too many plays. It is difficult to make a choice between all these artists present here and I know that certain groups have to leave before the end of the festival because of lack of audience. There are places that don't even look like theatres anymore.
Will you go and watch other plays?
Yes, I have friends on stage here, such as Clémentine Célarié or Antoine Dulery and Zabou Breitmann and I will go and watch them play. There are fine people here this year.
What are your passions apart from the theatre?
I love the cinema of course and I love going to the festival every year to mix with the american stars. I am passionate about circus as I learned to be a clown at the beginning of my career to evolve in this environment.
Can you tell my about your projects?
I have a few proposals for television movies and I will continue with "Une Journée particulière" in Paris and on tour in France.
Isabelle, heroine of "Une femme d'honneur", is she like you?
In a certain way, yes. Isabelle has a natural authority who enjoys life and who is very maternal also.
This series has allowed me to look upon the profession of "gendarme" and policeman in a different way and to provide people with a better image of them.
« Une journée particulière » every day until 28 July at the théâtre Chêne noir, as from 15h45. Duration 1h25.

When life gives you peaches ... make a marmalade!
The recipe I share today is for a marmalade that makes me think of summer each time I eat it later on (if we can manage to save a jar or two; beware: it is really good!)... doesn't summer taste like peaches? :)
- 70 dag of peaches
- 30 dag of bananas
- juice of one lemon
- 1/2 kg of sugar
- 1 package of fruit pectin (instead of sugar and pectin I use already prepared mix that contains 1/2 kg of sugar for 1 kg of fruit)
- 1 tbsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp rum
- cinnamon stick or a small amount of ground cinnamon
- cardamom seeds (out of 5-7 pods)
First - prepare the ingredients and the jars you will put the marmalade in. I wash them thoroughly and let them rest in a warm water I added vinegar to. And before I fill them with marmalade I put them in the oven (50 C) to sterilize them.
Second - peel the fruit and cut it, put it in blender (or use the hand blender like I do), add sugar, pectin and spices.
Third - leave the mixture rest for two hours.
Fourth - cook everything for 15 to 20 minutes (yes, that's right, you don't have to cook a marmalade for a large amount of time. I have no idea why I thought that before I started cooking marmalades by myself. It may have something to do with the memory of my dear grandma cooking apricot jam out of what seemed a ton of apricots each summer... and it took her the whole day or even more.)
Fifth - fill (get the cinnamon stick out before you do that) your sterilized (still hot) cute little glasses with the marmalade and seal them well.
Usually marmalades lasts a year or more, but I was never able to wait that long with this one.
Enjoy! With pancakes, in a yogurt with muesli or simply 'with a spoon out of the jar' :)
That is why we just settled for a few walks, cooking and trying some new recipes, reading, watching a few episodes of Downton Abbey and Men of a Certain Age and ... well, some household chores necessary each weekend like laundry and cleaning the floor (blah). We also started planning the itinerary and all the details of our October trip. The frame of it is already defined. Yay!

The new 38,000 SF center includes state-of-the-art small classrooms, a large active-learning classroom, a learning center, a large lecture room, conference rooms, huddle rooms, private offices and an open pre-function area. Conference rooms are audiovisual-enhanced with video- and web-conferencing capabilities. A large meeting room accommodates special events or can be divided into three separate independently operated rooms with ceiling-mounted projectors and motorized screens. An open area outside the meeting room features two flat panel screens displaying digital signage for pre-function information. Spaces are constructed with specialty acoustical treatments and enhanced sound isolation techniques to eliminate disruptive noises or excess vibrations.
Eric Sterner, Architect with Architekton, says, "The building acts as a reference point that bridges the divide between the Scottsdale Community College Campus and the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC). The campus goal for this project is that it will educate students and visitors of the history of the SRP-MIC. The intention of the visitor experience is to express the history of the land, its people and the future of the SRP-MIC community."
The Sextant Group was responsible for Audiovisual, IT and Acoustical Consulting, working with design architect Architekton, and General Contractor Okland.
Cloud Song Center also won ENR Southwest's Best Project Award in 2018.
