The internet is slow. Focus has been hard to come by, and it seems like all is on the fritz! It's a full moon tonight for us here in Colorado, there is a comet streaking across the sky, and a lunar eclipse is also visible. Could this be coincidence or the influence of something greater??
In attempts to understand this Earth we live on, mankind has often looked to the sky. The stars have been used for navigation, and the sun has been used to tell time during the day. It's fitting that the moon has also played a part in man's desire to understand what is going on around us. Though many beliefs have since been debunked by science, we have at some time or another thought that the moon controlled fertility, birth rates, blood loss rates, sleep quality, and other human behavior, such as mental illness and epilepsy (as in lunacy, lunatics, etc.). You may have heard reports of increased crime or people acting irrationally due to a full moon. Additionally, the moon is used in some gardening and farming techniques, including biodynamic agriculture. Some believe the moon's gravitational pull affects water in soil, much like it affects larger bodies of water. Even the legendary werewolf could not escape the pull of the moon.
We do know that the moon affects tides with its gravitational pull, and the phases of the moon are a good indication of passing of time. Each lunation, or lunar month, is approximately 29.53 days, and each lunar year is 354 days. While the moon may not seem to have the effect on our daily lives that it did before modern science, many cultures have calendars based on the moon's phases. Some of these calendars include the Hindu calendar, Islamic calendar, Chinese calendar, Jewish calendar, and Baha'i calendar. January 28, 2017 marked the lunar new year, which is also the Chinese New Year. It is the first new moon of the first calendar month of the year.
Special moon phases also exist. Some of these phases are
Super Moon: The moon is at its closest point to Earth, or the perigee; looks 12% - 14% larger than a micro moon.
Micro Moon: The moon is at its farthest point away from Earth, or the apogee; appears less bright.
Blue Moon: An additional full moon; 3rd of 4 full moons in a season, or a 2nd full moon in a calendar month.
Black Moon: An additional new moon, similar to a blue moon for full moons, or a lack of a new moon in a calendar month.
With all the lunar events going on, I wanted to map out the lunar calendar in Grapher. Below, you can see the phases of the moon for this lunar year, including the special phases of the moon. The phases are as seen from Colorado, USA. This lunar year began on Saturday, January 28, 2017, and it ends on Thursday, February 15, 2018.
Line plot of moon phases for the current lunar year, created in Grapher. Click for a larger image.
As we come upon the first full moon of the lunar new year tonight, be mindful of the low low tides, the high high tides, and of course, the lunatics!

CodaOctopus® Underwater Inspection System (UIS)
Our Underwater Inspection System (UIS) is specifically designed for Port and Harbor security activities, such as reconnaissance and inspection.
Our Underwater Inspection System (UIS) is specifically designed for Port and Harbor security activities, such as reconnaissance and inspection.
The CodaOctopus® Underwater Inspection System (UIS) is the world's first fully integrated 3D sonar system for specialized underwater applications such as maritime security, port and harbor maintenance, search and recovery, and intruder visualization and classification. The system can also be used to rapidly assess storm damage, locate sunken debris, and provide baseline maps of critical infrastructure.
Using Echoscope real-time 3D volumetric sonar technology to deliver precise, intuitive, and instantaneous three-dimensional images, the UIS is the only system that is suitable for multiple applications, producing detailed GPS referenced underwater scans in real-time. Even the least experienced operator can undertake rapid inspections of harbor walls, bulkheads, piers, bridges, pilings and ship hulls. The system can also be utilized to inspect and clear shipping channels and to image and classify divers and underwater vehicles.
Alongside the Echoscope sonar, the UIS delivers co-referenced above waterline imagery via a ruggedized waterproof digital video camera for both day and night operation. Immediate GPS data referencing is provided by a pre-calibrated F180® series system, which simultaneously outputs heading and motion data. Each subsystem sensor is connected through a 3D Connect, which acts as the hub for fast and rapid deployment, to a mission control laptop running dedicated and intuitive CodaOctopus® Underwater Survey Explorer Professional (USE PRO) topside software.
Complete with a rugged and easily deployed vessel pole mount, the UIS is currently used by law enforcement agencies, military organizations and port security operatives as a means to have fast access to high definition subsea data for decision-making purposes.
Dedicated to enhanced customer service and support, TEAM members access a range of benefits alongside unsurpassed 24x7 technical support. Additionally, Coda Octopus offers on-site training for the products and Through Life Support for extended support that goes beyond regular service level support and warranties.
With expertise in supplying leading-edge software and hardware solutions within our 3D, MOTION and GEO range of products, Coda Octopus has built a reputation of delivering quality solutions and after sales technical support.

San Antonio Academy
San Antonio Academy, a private preparatory school for boys, was opened in San Antonio by Dr. William Belcher Seeley in September 1886. The academy, first located on East Houston Street, had an enrollment of seventy-two students at the end of the first year. In April 1888 the school was moved to North Flores Street, facing San Pedro Park. A charter was granted in 1891. The academy was said to be the first private school in the state to be given full affiliation by the University of Texas. In 1893 the school was opened to girls. In 1926 it merged with West Texas Military Academy, and the upper school, giving college preparatory work, was called Texas Military Institute, while the lower school in 1950 operated as the San Antonio Academy. The academy severed its relationship with the Texas Military Institute and became a nonprofit organization in 1954. In 1967 the school moved to East French Place to what was formerly St. Mary's Hall. In 1995 the academy offered prekindergarten through eighth grade to 300 students. The principal was John Webster.

Email Customization: Getting Personal to Deepen Relationships, Generate Additional Sales, and More
- Presenter:
- Broadcast:
- Thu., May 22, 2008, 12pm ET (9am PT)
- Length:
- 90 minutes
- Rating:
Throughout 2007, marketers and industry experts alike have been extremely vocal about the strength and reach of email marketing. And with good reason; the DMA reported an average ROI of $48.29 for every dollar spent on email.
But for results like this, marketers must take a consumer-centric approach. Blasting emails and pushing irrelevant content is no longer acceptable, and in fact, it can damage your reputation and often result in deliverability problems. Profitable email marketing, alternatively, hinges on the unique one-on-one relationship you build with each prospect and customer.
Why are so few email campaigns aimed at precisely segmented lists? Usually it's because as a marketer, it seems it's all you can do just to get ONE message out. Not to worrythere are some simple but effective personalization techniques that can be used to make any mailing feel more targeted to the individual.
Dynamic personalization and triggered messaging are two terrific tools that create a real-time dialog with customers based on what they do on your site or how they interact with your emails. The beauty of triggered email marketing is that it is automated. You create the rules, and when the condition occurs, the appropriate email is automatically sent.
With smarter email marketing tactics, marketersboth B2B and B2Cwill find greater success with acquisition and retention programs. In this 90-minute seminar, you'll see examples of successful email customization and learn how you can apply similar strategies to reduce work and increase ROI.
Regina Brady is on the forefront of todays phenomenally profitable interactive marketing field. A frequent spokesperson for the power of email marketing, Reggie is President of her own e-marketing and direct marketing consultancy, Reggie Brady Marketing Solutions.
Who Should Attend?
Attendees should include marketers who are somewhat familiar with segmentation and email marketing. This session will provide examples and case studies of successful programs.
Although most of the examples include retail commerce, most of the principles can be applied equally well to B2B marketing.
What Will You Learn?
- When personalization makes sense
- Segmentation—six types and ideas you can put to use now
- How to get started with triggered messaging
- Five types of triggers—and which work best
- How abandoned shopping cart emails are a great way to recapture revenue

Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
09 Aug
Posted by Rob Kalajian as Card Games, Modern Board Games
Incredible Expeditions: Quest for Atlantis is currently working on getting its funding on Kickstarter. Designed by Liz Spain, the game is a strategic deck building game with elements of exploration and resource management. The game will have competitive, cooperative, and solo modes to play, all wrapped in a wonderful Steampunk/Lovecraftian theme.
The game has almost hit $18,000 of its $26,000 goal with 37 days still left on the clock. a $50 pledge ensures you a copy of the game, and from the looks of things that seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Though I didn't get to marshal at Pukekohe Park Raceway on this visit, I was lucky enough to stop by at the circuit and do a few laps around with Anna Scott behind the wheel showing me all the changes since the last time I marshaled there.
There were cars on track the day of my visit, some of them race cars while others just souped up street cars, so I'll go ahead and include a post about this experience here. Why not?
The Sunday of my visit was a private track rental by what looked to be a Nissan enthusiast group with plenty of great looking Skyline GT-R's, Sylvia's and other Japanese cars in attendance.
Judging by the burned paint on the bumper I'm going to guess this car means business!
Naturally I was most interested to see some souped up MX-5's at this track rental, but it was definitely a different crowd. We did spot one red GT PRHT in attendance and I rushed over to say hello. The owner, a member of the MX-5 Club of New Zealand turned out to be the father of one of the Skyline racers there. Nice to see family supporting their kid's participation in Motorsport. And more importantly instead of having them hoon on the street, they actually join their son doing it the correct way, racing around a race track.
A great car indeed 🙂
Anna was kind enough to give me a tour of the facilities which have really grown since my last visit. Race Control had moved from a little shack like structure to a proper building. The track is now lined with barriers plucked directly from the Hamilton street circuit where Australian V8's used to race, and in general this little horse racing track looks like a world class facility. Shame I didn't get a chance to actually marshal there this time…
A few days earlier, while my Aussie friend Ian was dropping me off at Anna's house, we made a drive by past Pukekohe and sure enough we spotted another MX-5 entering the track. Much like Australia the MX-5's are right in their element in New Zealand, the country has a perfect weather for owning a Roadster!

The week before winter break is always an exciting time in the classroom and it can be a challenge to keep students on task and learning! Students seem even more energetic than usual and less focused on learning. I'm always looking for fun and meaningful ways to integrate the holidays into my classroom to keep my 5th graders focused on academics. My 12 Days of Christmas Math Project is challenging, yet fun, and allows students to practice problem-solving skills by calculating the cost of the 12 Days of Christmas.
I start by having my students read the lyrics to the "12 Days of Christmas"(I like to play the song as they read along). I have my 5th graders highlight the gifts for each of the 12 days of Christmas as they read. Next, I give them the 12 Days of Christmas Task Page and review the three tasks they are required to complete.
Task 1: Calculate the cost of each gift
Task 2: Calculate the total cost of all gifts given on each day
Task 3: Use the calculations to answer questions
After we review the tasks, I give my students the 12 Days of Christmas price list. There are two price lists options to choose from - whole numbers or decimals to the tenths place. I differentiate this activity by giving each student the price list that suits their needs best. You may also choose to have students work with partners or in cooperative groups to complete the project.
Students use the recording pages to calculate all of the costs. While they are working, I like to project a Yule Log video on the board and play holiday music in the background.
Answer keys are also included. If you would like to share this activity with your students, you can find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers store here!
Happy Holidays!Live, laugh, love to learn,

I'm not sure that I understand the purpose of the suggested backup - if I lose the SD card can I then create a new one by copying these files onto a blank SD card? I didn't think this was possible.
Looking after and backing up your Garmin map card
Some words of caution around SD cards We had a few tales of woe recently where users have either lost cards whilst changing batteries of deleted the contents of their expensive SD cards in error.
Make sure you dont lose your SD card whilst changing batteries on the go as weve had a couple of occasions recently where users have dropped expensive Micro SD cards whilst changing batteries on the hill.
If the card is lost then Im afraid youre not going to get a free replacement from Garmin as loss & theft are not covered.
We recommend that if you do have to change batteries on the hill then be very careful and make the change with the screen facing to the ground that way you stand less change of dropping the SD card whilst you fiddle with the batteries.
GPST Tip – did you know you can back your Garmin mapping card? This is how.
> with your SD card installed in your device
> on your computer go to My Computer
> select Removable Disk (G) this is your SD Card
> open Garmin Folder
> copy the 3 map files gmapsupp.gma, gmapsupp, gmapsupp.uni to a folder on your computer for safe keeping – warning be careful not to select Delete as it cannot be undone
You can download PDF factsheet about how to back up your Garmin OS mapping card from here.
To keep up to date with all the top tech and team news sign up to our weekly newsletter
Just sign up to our mailing list on the left hand side of page.
Hi Graham, thanks for your comment, when you back up the data from your SD card you cannot then re-send it back to a different SD card, the reason we recommend backing up the data is in case you accidently delete any map data from the original card, as you can then re-send the backed up data back to your original card.

Student Leadership Council (SLC) works with the Board of Education to provide an outlet for students to get themselves, and their schools, involved in district-wide initiatives, have their voices heard and engage with like-minded individuals.
For the 2020-21 year, the theme of SLC will be Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
SLC was started in 1998 by students in our district under the leadership of Patricia Gartland who was then District Principal for Community Relations. Since then SLC has been an important part of School District 43. Past events have included the Believe Initiative, a District Student Leadership Conference, running a steering committee for feminine-hygiene products, a digital media awareness event, a bullying awareness event, a TEDx event, and multiple World Cafés. We have also given input on various current events within the district, such as School District budgets, or graduation requirements.
By facilitating the sharing the voices, opinions, and concerns of students, we are the pathway between the Board and students to achieve fair representation of student voice.
The School District 43 (Coquitlam) Student Leadership Council (SLC) is a group comprised of student representatives from Middle Schools and Secondary Schools across the district. General Meetings are held once a month, and Executive meetings are also held once a month. If you have any further questions, please contact us at email@example.com, DM us on social media, or reach out to an Executive member or district representative.
"We are the pathway between student and the district to achieve fair representation of student voice."

Explore America's Campgrounds
Bass boat seats can often be repaired by adding new upholstery but many owners choose to completely replace the seats because it is cost effective. Seats that have been exposed to the elements for a long period of time will wear, tear and eventually begin to omit a foul odor. Replacing the seats is typically the best option when the damage is extensive enough to create a moldy odor. The seats can be replaced in a short amount of time with basic tools.
Items you will need
Replacement seats
Phillips bit
Bench Seats
Use a drill with a Phillips bit to remove all of the screws that hold a bench seat in place. If the seat base is in good shape, use the drill to remove the hinge screws from the lid.
Measure the dimensions of the bench or the lid depending on the desired replacement. Contact the boat manufacturer or a marine seat manufacturer and order a replacement in the exact size.
Replace the lid or the bench with the new seat. Use the existing holes and matching screws to install the new seat.
Pedestal Seats
Use a crescent wrench to remove the bolts that tie the seat to the pedestal base. Remove the seat and save the bolts and nuts for the new seat.
Locate a new seat that matches the pedestal dimensions. The bolt holes must line up between the pedestal and seat base. There are numerous manufacturers that have seats designed for standard bass boat pedestals.
Place the new seat on the pedestal and insert the bolts to lock the seat in place. Use a crescent wrench to the tighten the bolts and secure the new seat.
- Ensure that the seats are secure to the boat before driving at high speeds. Loose seats are a hazard on high horsepower bass boats.
- You can remove the entire pedestal if it is damaged but it may only require polish. The pedestals on bass boats are durable and difficult to damage.

This is sure to be a new family favourite in your household, especially with my fun take on leftovers for the next day!
It is a fairly simple dish to make, with simple ingredients! The best part is that you can make it ahead of time by setting your crockpot to low while you're at work and dinner will be ready to go when you get home! There are two components to the dish; the "red" saucy part of the chili, and a nice cheesy surprise to top it with.
Cheese Sauce
- 4tbsp butter (or margarine)
- 2tbsp flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups milk (warmed)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 chicken boulion cube
- 1 can of kernel corn
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 L (1 large jar) strained tomatoes
- 1c water
- 3 chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked and shredded (or rotisserie chicken)
- 3tbsp chilli powder
- salt, pepper and parsley to season
EXTRA: Tortilla chips (any variety your family likes!)
- Heat 2tbsp olive oil in large sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add in onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic and boulion cube, allow to cook for 2 mins, stirring frequently. Add in water and tomato paste (will turn into a thick sauce).
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add strained tomatoes, salt, pepper and parsley and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking begin to prepare your cheese sauce.
- Heat butter over medium heat, once melted add in flour and stir constantly until a thick paste forms. Allow to cook for 2-3 mins.
- Slowly add in your milk, being sure to stir frequently. Allow to come to a low boil before adding in the cheese.
- Once all ingredients are together, add salt and cayenne pepper and allow to cook for 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Back to your red sauce! Add in the shredded chicken, corn and beans and cook until heated through.
Now it's time to assemble. Scoop some of the chili into a bowl, spoon cheese sauce over the chili and add some crumbled tortilla chips on top! Dig in and enjoy!
But what about those leftovers?!
For a quick and easy dinner (or snack) the next day, reheat the chili and cheese sauce and add to a heaping pile of tortilla chips! Serve with a healthy salad and enjoy a fun meal!

On this page, Arch MI provides you the information and resources you need to be prepared for the October 2015 launch of the CFPB's TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules, as well as important information on how mortgage insurance premiums should be disclosed under the TRID rules.
The disclosure of mortgage insurance under TRID depends, in part, on what kind of premium payment plan is selected for a Loan. Importantly, a change in the mortgage insurance premium on a loan using Arch MI's EZ Monthly premium plan, in which premiums are paid in arrears, does not trigger a re-disclosure obligation under TRID after the Loan Estimate is sent to the borrower. With EZ Monthly premiums, you only need to re-disclose a change in the premium if you are sending a revised Loan Estimate for another reason. Of course, Arch MI offers a variety of mortgage of insurance premium plans other than EZ Monthly to meet your borrower's needs, not all of which involve payment in arrears.
The following information and resources regarding the treatment of mortgage insurance premiums under the TRID rules were developed by Arch MI in conjunction with Benjamin K. Olson, a partner at the Buckley Sandler law firm. Mr. Olson is a former CFPB Deputy Assistant Director who led the CFPB's development of the proposed rules and forms integrating TILA and RESPA disclosures. These materials are provided for informational purposes only and may not be relied on as legal advice.
The TILA RESPA Integrated Disclosure changes are a chance to position yourself as an expert and share important information about the changes with your real estate partners. We've made it easy to educate your real estate partners with our sponsored Readiness Roadmap Webinar and downloadable presentation materials.

CVS Stops Selling Tobacco A Month Early
As CVS sharpens its focus on customer health, the drugstore chain based in Rhode Island said it will stop selling tobacco in their 7,600 stores Wednesday, nearly a month sooner than planned.
CVS says not selling tobacco products will trim about $2 billion in their annual revenue.
CVS Caremark will also tweak its name to CVS Health. But the signs on its roughly 7,700 drugstores won't change, so the change may not register with shoppers.
However, those customers will see a big change when they check out. The cigars and cigarettes that used to fill the shelves behind store cash registers have been replaced with nicotine gum and other products that help people kick the tobacco habit. CVS said earlier this year that it would stop selling tobacco products on Oct. 1.
CVS and other drugstores have delved deeper into customer health care in recent years.

The End of Moral Philosophy?
David Brooks's latest is thought-provoking as always, but ultimately it's a rather puzzling read. He begins with the idea, which will of course be familiar to readers of this blog, that our basic moral convictions are the product less of Socratic reasoning than of a system that throws up moral judgments in a more automatic fashion and allows us simply to perceive, as it were, the rightness and wrongness in the situations we encounter. As someone who's presently working through Hume's theory of the moral sentiments with a few dozen undergrads, it's so far, so good for me. But it's where Brooks goes from there that leaves me scratching my head:
Moral judgments are like that. They are rapid intuitive decisions and involve the emotion-processing parts of the brain. Most of us make snap moral judgments about what feels fair or not, or what feels good or not. We start doing this when we are babies, before we have language. And even as adults, we often can't explain to ourselves why something feels wrong.
In other words, reasoning comes later and is often guided by the emotions that preceded it. Or as Jonathan Haidt of the University of Virginia memorably wrote, "The emotions are, in fact, in charge of the temple of morality, and … moral reasoning is really just a servant masquerading as a high priest."
Now in the first place, note that these stronger claims are true only if our moral judgments are not only not guided by, but also ultimately impervious to, input from our more "purely" rational faculties; and even if this isn't so it could still be that reason manages to influence our moral judgments in more indirect ways, perhaps by spreading memes that help to shape our moral intuitions via the process of cultural evolution that Brooks describes in his column's second part. Reasoning may not have the kind of role in the practical domain that Kant for example might have hoped for it, but it can nevertheless be more than an epiphenomenon.
But in addition to all of this, I think it's important to see that the role of servant to the high priest of emotion involves a good deal more than mere bowing and scraping. Even if we credit the emotions with the kind of role that Brooks follows Haidt and others in envisioning for them, that still leaves to be done all the work of systematizing all those axiomatic intuitions into a rationally cohesive structure; of working out the tensions, lacks, and – perhaps – outright contradictions among them; of developing a robust theoretical understanding of the good that respects those intuitions even as it moves beyond them toward an articulation of the deeper principles that make them true in the first place; and so on. For it's not, of course, just the realm of morals that has the sort of inescapably perception-driven status that Brooks is describing here: our understandings of space and time, of quantity and number, of matter and color and life and death, are ultimately shaped by our more basic modes of access to the world in very similar sorts of ways, but by no means does that entail the impossibility of using science and philosophy as tools to deepen and, at times, significantly refine those understandings in precisely the sorts of ways that Socrates envisioned. Philosophy can come in toward the end even if it's not that relevant at the beginning, and so granting the emotions the first word in the human grasp of morality doesn't require conceding that they also have the last.

Biosecurity on Valentine's Day
Don't surprise your loved one with weeds this Valentine's Day.
Flowers are the number one gift given on Valentine's Day, and as always, Sydney Flower Market and local florists will be brimming with beautiful blossoms. But those bouquets can sometimes include species that have the potential to threaten our bushland and waterways.
Emily McCarthy, Biosecurity Officer from Strathfield Municipal Council, will be at the Market on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February, inspecting stalls to ensure that favourite 'filler' weed species like asparagus fern, turkey rhubarb, privet and olive species are not being sold or distributed. Emily has a crucial role in protecting the state of NSW from the spread of invasive weed species, as the Flower Market accounts for 75% of the wholesale cut flower trade in NSW.
"The stall holders have been collaborating well with Strathfield Council to implement best practice at Sydney Flower Market. I've noticed a steady reduction in the quantity of invasive plant weed species being sold commercially to both the general public and florists over the last 10 months, which is a really positive outcome for the economy, community and environment", said Emily.
Weed officers and inspectors around the region will have an important role in conveying and enforcing the provisions of the new legislation, and will be visiting florists over the Valentine's Day period in a regional effort coordinated by Greater Sydney Weeds Action Program project officer, Nicola Dixon.
What can you do to help nip the problem in the bud? Ask your flower retailer whether any of the species you are buying have weedy potential. If you would like to make a submission on the draft Greater Sydney Strategic Weed Management Plan, please visit greatersydney.lls.nsw.gov.au/

"The country is their country" says Egyptian farmers in lead-up to elections
Issued on: Modified:
The Egyptian election affects all of the country, but not all of the country feels it has much of a say in it. In this photo-essay, Anne-Marie Bissada meets generations of farmers in the south of the country who feel this election will not change anything for them. Photographs by Pedro Costa Gomes.
Taha carefully pours strong tea from the charred pot into glass cups, and then pauses for a moment to laugh and say 'el balad baladhom', meaning the country is their country, or in other words nothing changes. Here, beneath the shade of a large tree in the middle of farm fields in the village of Riad Basha, just outside Beni Suef city, the family sits together to sip tea and occasionally crack jokes about the situation of their country.
Beni Suef is considered the gateway to Upper Egypt, in the south of the country. Upper Egypt remains home to the country's poorest areas, with some 57 percent of rural areas being impoverished, says a 2016 report by CAMPAS, Egypt's official statistics agency. The village itself is named Riad Basha after the grandson of Muhammed Ali, who is considered the founder of modern Egypt. Riad Basha used to own this land until President Gamal Abd al-Nasser nationalized it during the 1950s.
The family rents one feddan (approximately one hectar) of land for 7000 Egyptian pounds per year. Mohamed explains that they subsist on what they get. Since 2016, after the pound was devalued by 100 percent, the daily cost of living has gone up, says Taha's mother. Taha explains that he and his wife have five children and they all live together with the other family members on the farm. After selling their harvest of wheat and cloves, Taha says sometimes they have 1000 or 10,000 Egyptian pounds to live off. But no matter what the amount, he says they always manage to make do.
"The government doesn't support you with anything except enough to buy shoes!" says Taha laughing while the others nod their heads in agreement. In the past five years since the fall of Mohamed Morsi and the rise of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Taha's mother says nothing has changed. "It's always the same. Five years ago or 10 years ago, it's the same", she explains. When there used to be government subsidies for cotton farming, many farmers, including some here in Riad Basha, grew cotton. But now they grow wheat, corn or cloves since cotton is no longer lucrative.
"They are all going to vote, but not me" explains Mohammed. He decided that he will not vote for anyone because it's already going the way of Sisi. "My voice will not change anything" he adds. "He will already win anyways, just like the time of Mubarak" adds Ahmed. "He [Mubarak] was winning without people going."

In the studio, students use digital and manual signifies to analysis and recommend design alterations and renovations that give current buildings new life. If for example the solutions of an electrician are essential, say to repair a chandelier, the certified interior designer will have to source for one particular, hire and then supervise his performs while installing. A pivotal figure in popularizing theories of interior style to the middle class was the architect Owen Jones , one particular of the most influential design and style theorists of the nineteenth century. I often liked to grow to be an interior designer due to the fact I loved designing a lot but fate changed and I became a technical bug..but nevertheless I nonetheless make my house a better location to reside and use all my creativity in decorating hub is fantastic. You can act as a supervisor for custom design and style tasks or much better nonetheless, as a project manager, managing a project that's relatively sizeable.
Learning of how to meticulously plan and document all aspects of interior design and style and its progressive stages, and how to operate and manage time effectively and far more effectively as a professional interior designer. It aids you to see the different stages an interior decorator goes through in their profession, along with answers to often asked queries, and a list of expert organizations. They owe a commitment to themselves and the client to guarantee the design and style procedure is made to be an straightforward one for their clientele. If you are a residential interior designer, you will offer solutions strictly for property owners, assisting them to improve the functional aspects, aesthetic values and security of their residence. It is my belief that with the ever developing economy interior design and a want for it grows.
Providing interior design services requires explicit communication of concepts and effective implementation of guidelines in a technical professional manner, by means of the use of detailed drawings, specifications, schedules, and mood boards. Interior design also provides wonderful opportunities for any person that wishes to be self employed, or one that can only function part time. You can begin by studying to acquire a Diploma in interior style as this ensures you are taking the proper step and a professional strategy towards attaining a dream.
With that said, let's get into what interior design is all about, and what we can do to make our own homes or apartments more enjoyable and satisfying. Exhibit designers, asides from developing the ideas, might also have to oversee the building and installation elements of the exhibit, order for the necessary supplies, and even have to work in interior style connected services such as lighting style or visual media arts. My daughter will be beginning college in 2 years studying to be an interior designer.
Right after an interior designer develops the design and style concepts of any project, it has to be communicated to their clients. For these factors, the government of interior design and style standards and qualifications was typically incorporated into other skilled organisations that involved design. Even if you are going to end up hiring an interior designer or consultant, you are going to want to do some investigation and recognize who you or the individual family members members are as far as design desires go, in order to make the appropriate decisions and adjustments. This is excellent if you want to replace (redecorate) doors without changing the entire cabinet frame.

Obviously, I blog (although it's my super secret blog), I'm ADDICTED to Facebook and today, I finally got a better idea of how to Tweet. Through the professional organization I am a part of, there was a professional development session on Twitter this morning.
I opened a Twitter account a few months ago, just so I had a better idea of what the heck people were talking about in meetings. Didn't really get it, so I thought this class would be helpful. Especially since I'm job hunting, I need to be on the cutting edge (or at least know what the cutting edge is!).
It's kind of a lot to handle -- blogging, FBing and Tweeting... But, it's fun and a great way to be connected.
On a different note, I had a killer workout last night. I did a Brick workout... kinda. It wasn't intentional, but just ended up that way so I went with it. I wanted to test out running, so I ran 1 mile (9:15 pace) and felt great. My foot wasn't hurting, but I didn't want to push it. A mile run isn't enough of a workout and the thought of the eliptical just wasn't jiving with my mood. So, I jumped on the bike for some spinning. I did that for 30 minutes and thought, Hmmm... I should follow up with a little run. So, I ran another 1/2 mile. I felt like I could go more, but again, didn't want to push it too much. It's an odd feeling, but felt pretty cool doing it. ;) Cheesy, I know.
After some good quality stretching, I headed to the weights and lifted. Concentration on my arms. Gosh, I love a great workout!!!!!!
Busy weekend coming up and I can't wait. My goal this weekend is to NOT be a slacker and get a lot accomplished. I really feel that I need to keep busy to keep my mood elevated. So... be ready for some great weekend updates! TGIF everyone!

Learn the true legend of 3 Sisters
3 Sisters in The Blue Mountains
The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters, Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. They fell in love with three men from the neighbouring Nepean tribe, but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back. This legend is claimed to be an Indigenous Australian Dreamtime legend.
However, Dr Martin Thomas, in his work "The artificial horizon: imagining the Blue Mountains", shows that this supposed "aboriginal" legend is a fabrication created by a non-Aboriginal Katoomba local, Mel Ward, presumably to add interest to a local landmark. The story originated in the late 1920s or early 1930s and is unknown prior to that date.
The Aboriginal traditional owners, the Gundungurra, have a legend that includes the Sisters rock formation.

I don't know whether I'm more wary or more circumspect right now as a general rule, but certainly I'm not free and open and ebullient.
It has been a very long time since I was able to take life for granted and not live every day by manning the internal battlements. Others have sometimes suggested that I relax, but the stimuli have been external since last decade.
I wonder if the day will ever come when I feel as though I have a sorted and risk-free personal life that I can entirely take for granted.
That's what I'm looking for—the chance to simply feel comfortable (no, I don't mean finances or chair coverings) in life again. To be able to look at a day and think about opportunities, rather than hitting the ground running to fight risks and other dragons.
I miss that feeling terribly—the feeling of waking up to a world of endless possibility, untarnished by danger.

Classy Car Show Sign UpPosted by LDDA on Apr 17, 2018 in News, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Classy Car Show Sign Up
First Friday has changed ownership and management. The Lakeland Downtown Development Authority is now the organization responsible for the event. As the new owners, we have assessed the event and need to make some changes. Those changes to the CAR SHOW portion of the event are outlined below:
- We will brand the CAR SHOW as the First Friday Classy Car Show and include the information on all posters and print materials. We will create new banners with First Friday Classy Car Show and hang those on the barricades in the footprint of the CAR SHOW.
- The CAR SHOW will have a dedicated footprint that will not vary from event to event. The CAR SHOW's footprint will on Tennessee Ave from Lemon Street to Pine Street. Portions of the Munn Park parking lot and portions of Pine Street will be reserved as overflow areas.
- The LDDA will be responsible (via paid staff) for delivering cones to the parking spaces, coning the spaces at 3pm, and removing the cones from the streets at the end of the night.
- The LDDA staff will also man the barricades at the beginning and end of the event. At 5pm and 5:30pm depending on the barricade, the staff person will be there to allow authorized cars into the event.
- The car show will officially end at 8pm, not 9pm as the rest of the First Friday event does. At 8pm, the DJ will announce that the CAR SHOW is officially over and many cars will be vacating the streets. He will ask pedestrians to please vacate the street so we can get the cars out.
- LDDA staff will lead cars out of the car show area and move the barricade to let them out. We will work on getting those folks out who want to leave from 8 to 8:30. Those who wish to stay will need to re-park in the parallel spaces as a regular car. We will open the street at 8:30. The remaining cars are now free to leave whenever they like. Cars who consistently want to leave at 8pm should be places closer to the exits for safety.
- CAR SHOW participants will need to register with LDDA (just once, not every month) and LDDA will provide a dash placard to ID them. The LDDA will request contact information to be able to communicate as needed with car show folks – event cancellations, etc. – as well as use the information about the cars to promote them on our Facebook page. It is also imperative that we know who is participating in our event. Unfortunately, anyone who does not choose to register with us will not be allowed to participate in the First Friday classy car show.
We hope you will join us if you have never participated or continue with us if you are a regular participant. Please fill out the form attached. We will get your placard to you.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing you!

Now here's a concept timepiece that could literally stand the test of time.
The brainchild of designers Christophe Koch and Lea Kobeli, Time-aid is a custom-made wristwatch that relies on the imaginary Timex clock network. In short, it's capable of displaying clock faces around the world via a live satellite feed. If you are in London, you could be looking at the Big Ben on your wrist, or the tower clock at the Star Ferry terminal if you are in Hong Kong.
The solar-powered concept is waterproof up to more than 16,000 feet and makes use of a wraparound assembly that's purportedly indestructible. That's not all. You also get to tattoo your name and birth date to make Time-aid a personalized timepiece.
Of course, don't expect this to be available soon, but with the Time-aid scoring a big win at the "Timex2145: The Future of Time" competition co-sponsored by Timex and design blog Core77, we figure someone at Timex could be looking to bring this into production sooner than you think.

The Hypocrisy of the Farm Rescue Movement
A recent story on The Huffington Post shows the sheer hypocrisy of the farm sanctuary movement. It falls into the category of "do what we say" and never mind what we actually do because we're doing the same stuff as real farmers and for the same reasons.
The story outlines the rescue of "Theo," a little Jersey calf who grew up to be a steer. You can guess how he got that way (though no details are provided).
Turns out Theo was born on a Maine dairy farm, but was sold a few days after birth because he was a bull. The person who bought him also ran an allegedly illegal dog breeding operation. When it was raided by authorities, Theo went into custody along with the puppies. Peace Ridge Sanctuary, an animal sanctuary farm, learned of the puppy mill raid and agreed to take Theo in. The plan is to let Theo live out his life along with a couple of companion ruminants, Mary and Rhoda, two Alpine goats.
But even the folks at Peace Ridge knew that Theo, left intact and unneutered, presented a possible liability and threat to not only Mary, Rhoda and the Peace Ridge staff, but anyone who came to visit. Though small in stature, the only thing more aggressive than a Jersey bull is a raging White Rhino on methamphetamines. So the Peace Ridge folks, not being stupid and doing what every farmer would do, had Theo the bull become Theo the steer.
And herein lays the hypocrisy. Animal rights groups come down hard on farmers when they castrate or dehorn animals, separate calves from dams or any other common sense management practice that's done for safety, health and welfare of the animals and their keepers. If farmers do it, it must be cruel and is done so only for profit. If animal rescue folks do it, it's done for only the most altruistic reasons.
Farm rescue folks also miss one other important point. The only reason Theo exists, the only reason his dam became pregnant with little Theo in the first place, was to create food for people. Given the basic biology of the bovine sperm cell, there was a 49% chance that Theo would become a Thelma and a 51% chance Theo would become a Theo. The odds were slightly stacked against him, and Theo came into the world as Theo.
On a dairy farm, if you arrive as a Thelma, you will be raised to produce milk. If you arrive as a Theo, you will be raised to become someone's dinner. (The only alternative is to euthanize tiny Theo, and I think we all agree that would be a terrible waste on so many levels.)
There is nothing wrong or immoral about raising Theo for food. In fact, he's an important link in the food chain, converting grass and forage that humans can't digest into meat protein that they readily can. But the farm sanctuary folks don't see it that way. They will let Theo live out his life in his pasture, using the land and resources that could be put to better use raising food for a hungry world. Where's the morality in that?
