Here are highlights from Tuesday's Analyst Blog:
3 European Firms Strike Angola Deal
With the aim of expanding individual footing in the energy sector of South Africa, three European oil biggies entered into three different deals with Sonangol, the National Fuel Company of Angola, to explore the undeveloped pre-salt offshore acreage.
London, England-based BP plc ( BP ) received access to five more deepwater exploration and production blocks offshore Angola, netting a total of nine blocks. BP and Sonangol also inked production sharing contracts (PSCs) for four new blocks in the Kwanza and Benguela basins.
BP, with a 50% interest, will act as the operator for Blocks 19 and 24, while it holds non-operating interests of 20% in Block 20 and 15% in Block 25. Additionally, the company acquired a 40% stake in Block 26 and signed a farm-in deal with the operator, Petrobras ( PBR ).
Another integrated oil and gas behemoth, Statoil ASA ( STO ) won operating rights for Blocks 38 and 39, with 55% interest in both. The company also received 20% partnership interests in Blocks 22, 25 and 40. These blocks are located in the pre-salt play of Kwanza Basin.
Norway-based Statoil's work commitment involves 3D seismic acquisition spanning 7,104.3 square miles. The company will also be engaged with the development of Sonangol's Research and Technology Center, social projects and training programs for Sonangol employees.
Italian firm Eni SpA ( E ) inked a PSC with state-controlled Sonangol for the drilling of deepwater offshore Block 35 in northern Kwanza Basin. The block will be operated by Eni (30% stake), while partners Sonangol and Repsol Exploracion SA will hold a respective interest of 45% and 25%.
The scope of the contract offers exploration of two wells at pre-salt plays and the acquisition of a 3D seismic survey of 965.3 square miles.
Angolahas vast untapped reserves of oil and gas, which are attracting investors from across the globe. With the help of technological expertise and skilled manpower extended by the above alliance, exploration activities are expected to yield a high success rate. Development of the southwest African nation's energy industry will also aid in fulfilling the growing domestic demand for fuel and minimize the dependence on imports.
We are maintaining Neutral ratings on BP, Statoil and Eni for the long term.
Nissan Makes 3 rd December Recall
Nissan Motor Co. ( NSANY ) recalled new sets of vehicles for the third time in December due to safety issues. The recall included 14,000 units of 2011 Infiniti FX, 2012 Infiniti M, and the 2011-2012 Nissan Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder and NV due to faulty engine bolts.
The company has revealed that the defective bolts in the vehicles may break, leading to oil leaks and engine failure. It has begun the investigation on the vehicles, manufactured between June and September this year, after receiving several reports of bolts breaking.
Earlier in the month, Nissan announced that it would recall 34,000 units of Sentra compact cars due to a problem with their battery cables, causing the engines to stall. The recall included 2010 and 2011 model year vehicles that are equipped with MR-20 engines and manufactured between May 11, 2010 and May 22, 2010, and July 8, 2010 and October 25, 2010.
It also announced to recall 28,294 units of Juke small crossover SUVs due to a problem with their turbocharger boost sensor bracket that can break free from an air inlet tube resulting from a defective welding. The problem could cause the vehicle to stall that may lead to a crash.
The 2011 model year Jukes were manufactured between April 9, 2010 and May 12, 2011. Nissan has decided to check the brackets and replace them free of charge if necessary. It will start recalling the vehicles from January 9, 2012.

In The Ape Man, an example of raw craziness from 1943, Bela "Dracula" Lugosi finds himself turned into an "ape man" due to some kind of mad science accident. After puttering about in his lab wearing gorillaface, he realizes that he only needs a bunch of spinal fluid to make himself human again. So he starts attacking humans with his gorilla buddy (whom he actually sleeps with in that cage at night), sucking out their spinal fluid, and whining about how "it's not enough." Finally, as you can see in this climactic scene, he captures a lady who refuses to let him suck spine. He winds up duking it out over her with his gorilla pal. I just love all the running and screaming and gorilla noises. Apparently this flick did so well that in 1944 Lugosi starred as a different mad scientist in Return of the Ape Man — he and a pal decide to transplant a "less primitive" brain into the body of a caveman and the fun begins. This wasn't even Lugosi's first gorilla tale — that honor goes to his star turn in Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), where he plays a mad scientist who wants to put the blood of a gorilla into the body of a nubile, caged-up woman in order to create some kind of hybrid.

My BFF is a veritable Martha Stewart. And yes, I stand in awe.
Her creativity and generosity inspire me. Hardly a week goes by that she is not creating for someone.
For this reason, it didn't surprise me when she recently announced plans for an enormous family get-together to celebrate the birthdays of several family members.
Preparations included an elaborate dinner menu that included a bunny-shaped, cream cheese frosted cake. Gift bags for those with birthdays as well as all the younger members of the family were also made.
She definitely knows how to give in style.
The night before the big event, my dear friend texted me to ask for prayer.
I'm no Martha Stewart, but that I can do.
The weather forecast called for rain storms on the day of the party. Since the interior of her home is comfortable but certainly not large enough to accommodate that birthday crowd, precipitation posed a bona fide problem.
She admitted she believed her request to be a little "silly." After all, she had often prayed that rain would wash away the dust and drought in her region of California.
I understood how she felt. Sometimes, I feel my requests might get in the way of some of God's greater plans. Yet, knowing her unselfish and giving heart as well as the amount of time and energy that she had given her preparations, I promised to pray.
Then, I ran to my heavenly Father. I presented my case: my BFF longed to honor her family; she planned a beautiful birthday celebration of her mother and a few others.
I humbly reminded Abba that my friend was actually "honoring her father and her mother." Would it be too much to ask that He stall the rain for a few hours?
I prayed throughout the day. The last thing I remember before succumbing to slumber was that I begged God for a reprieve from rain.
All good, of course.
However, here's the ridiculous part. I did not expect God's answer to be so tailor-made to my friend's heart desires.
When I received word from my bestie the following evening that the rain stopped several hours before the party and didn't begin again until after clean-up, I was both surprised and delighted.
Yeah, Abba is gracious and good like that. All-powerful and all-knowing, He is able to accomplish what's best for all His children.
Yet, His goodness frequently catches me off guard. I ask, but I don't always believe that the God of the universe will take time out from His "important" tasks to worry about me and my "parties."
But I should know better.
After all, the whole of the gospels details God's love and grace toward all people, both the worldly important and those who pass their lives in anonymity.
In fact, Christ especially sought out those who felt unimportant. Who can forget Zaccheaus, the Samaritan woman, the boy with the fish and loaves of bread, the outcasts, beggars and lepers?
And of course, Jesus reminds us that if Yahweh provides for the birds of the field, how much more will He provide for His beloved children, (Matthew 6)?
Okay, so I can accept that God cares enough to provide our food and clothing. Jesus obviously promised that.
But to hold off rain for a party? Where does that fit in?
Well, believe it or not, I recently discovered that God's Word addresses such a question. Indeed, God gives grace not only for critical necessities, but also for the small, seemingly insignificant details of our lives.
As you and I study the life of Christ, we see over and over again that He directed His ministry to "the lost." Jesus didn't hang out in palaces. He didn't hobnob with the rich or even the famous.
When He received criticism from the religious leaders of His day for spending time with the sick, the religiously "unclean," the poor, and the outcasts, He answered, "The son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost," (Luke 19:10).
You betcha. Christ's humble birth definitely expressed our Savior's love for all people, the worldly insignificant included. The angels announced Christ's birth first to Shepherds, men who occupied one of the lowest rungs on the ancient, social ladder.
But the way that Jesus inaugurated His ministry particularly interests me. After John the Baptist's testimony and Jesus' initial selection of disciples, Jesus attended a wedding.
That's certainly not the venue I personally would have selected for Christ's "Messianic Coming Out Party."
And if Messiah attended such an event, I probably would predict it to be the wedding of the century.
Such was not the case. In fact, we are not even given the names of the bride and groom. Obviously, the host was not influential or even well-connected. He was no Mr. Darcy.
In addition, there was nothing notable about the wedding. Little detail is recorded about the festivities. And the only specific noted is not something anyone would wish to broadcast in high society: the host ran out of wine.
Clearly, the family lacked financial means. I know this for a fact because during that time, wine served as a dietary staple. Rich and poor alike drank wine because water carried impurities and diseases. Thus, any basic menu must include wine.
For this reason, running out of wine posed an entertainer's catastrophe. Given the social position of the host, the guests likely expected simple fare. But at the very least, guests would have expected something to quench their thirst.
True, a lack of wine would not shatter the universe. The problem did not compare with the hurdles faced by victims of earthquakes, tsunamis, war, famine or disease.
Lives were not at stake. However, a courteous host would supply the basic necessities for his guests.
The circumstances at Cana offered an unusual start to Messiah's ministry. And His miracle, there in Galilee, most certainly kicked off His three-year discipleship program. Luke notes that Christ's miracle at Cana was His first Messianic miracle.
What's up with that? Why did Jesus bother?
The guests could have gone home early. No harm in that. But at Cana, Jesus demonstrated that He cares about ordinary folk and their everyday concerns.
Unquestionably, He would perform grander and more spectacular miracles during His three-year ministry. If we read only of such, it would be easy to conclude that He sought out only the most desperate of cases.
But that would not be an accurate picture of our Savior.
To be honest, the miracle at Cana comforts me. You see, I once thought I was too ordinary to be of value.
I thought my concerns insignificant.
I believed my burdens unimportant. No need to bother God with my worries.
I distinctly remember sitting in church as a young teen and marveling over the dramatic testimonies of those who had been rescued from lives of crime, addiction, poverty and worse.
My life narrative lacked such story-telling power and I questioned my ability to encourage others.
In response to others' stories, I heard church members called out hearty "amens." Much applause rang through the building. And rightly so. We ought to celebrate when a lost brother or sister is found.
Undoubtedly, the Father celebrated when the prodigal returned home. But the Father also loved his eldest son and had given access to all that the Father possessed. The eldest simply needed to ask (Luke 15:11-32).
I'm not sure why he didn't ask. Maybe, like me, he felt he should wait for a big occasion. Perhaps, he feared his father would dismiss his concerns.
Whatever the case, he didn't avail himself of all that his father longed to give.
Yup. Sometimes, I carry on like an impoverished wedding host when Jesus stands waiting to fill my needs.
Or like the elder brother, I miss out on all that my heavenly Father has in store simply because I fear to ask.
That day at Cana, however, someone did ask.
Mary, Jesus' mother, certainly anticipated the day when her son would claim His identity as Messiah.
After His miraculous birth, she pondered each prophecy and promise given.
Then, John the Baptist announced Christ's authority; Jesus selected His disciples.
Mary likely thought the wedding an opportunity for Jesus to demonstrate His Messianic identity. She probably hoped He would dispel any doubts about His birth and mission.
But Jesus knew that a miracle at Cana would not ultimately prove His deity. He knew that could only be established by His death and resurrection.
For this reason, Jesus said, "Woman, what do I have to do with you? My hour has not yet come," (Luke 2:4).
Even Mary did not fully understand the plan of God. Cana would not crown Christ as our eternal King.
But Jesus did launch his earthly ministry that day at Cana.
What I love about His wedding miracle is that Jesus exceeded all expectation.
When the servants poured the miraculously created wine, the headwaiter pronounced it better than what had been previously served.
Uh, huh. That's the kind of generous and gracious God that we serve, (Ephesians 3:20).
Yet, I can't help but wonder if the wedding at Cana demonstrates so much more than Christ's power over the natural world or His love for ordinary people.
Perhaps, Scripture doesn't tell us the names of the wedding party in order to illustrate an extraordinary truth.
In fact, as I consider the events of that day, I am convinced that Jesus chose to work a wedding miracle because His life represents the culmination of God's incredible love story.
Throughout the Old Testament, God uses marriage as a picture of His loving relationship with the nation of Israel. The New Testament develops the analogy further.
Jesus frequently spoke in parables that evoked images of marriage and family. He even responded to the questions of John the Baptist's disciples regarding fasting.
When asked why Christ's disciples did not fast, Jesus said, "'The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they?'" (Matthew 9:15a).
The book of Revelation gives believers this future hope: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready," (Revelation 19:7).
Thus, we wait for Christ, our bridegroom. Having placed our faith in Him, we look forward to His return.
In the meantime, with boundless love, He graciously renews our lives with His good, (Psalm 103:5) . He bestows beyond expectation.
That's right. When He turns our water into wine, the wine wins every award. He gives what's best to His beloved.
He clearly demonstrates His love in the every day: providing wine for a wedding party, holding back rain for the duration of a birthday celebration, opening up a parking space for an overburdened mother, sending a word of praise or encouragement through another believer, or painting a sunset sky with vivid color…
Sure, our Savior showers us with grace in moments of life crisis. I have no trouble recognizing God in those events. But He also provides in the quiet and seemingly mundane.
Our Messiah cares about even the smallest details of our lives, (Lamentations 3:22-23).
A dear, artist friend of mine calls such gifts of everyday grace "God's bouquets."
I love that.
For this reason, I run to Jesus with my worries. I carry my fears to Him. I sit at His feet and pour out my tears.
And Jesus, the believer's Bridegroom, responds with a "bouquet of long-stem roses."
In His infinite love for you and me, He turns ordinary water into wine.
"This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The LORD's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Thy Faithfulness," ~Lamentations 3:21-23

What wedges will you be wearing this spring/summer and with what outfits do they work?
The sunshine is finally out and whilst we know from experience that it may not stick around for very long – I'm giving it til about mid-April (and that's me at my most optimistic!) – it does give the opportunity to finally free our feet, shoulders and legs from the cocoon of boots, tights, over-the-knee socks, capes, scarves and mountainous layers of winter.
We're focusing on womens shoes today, with the help of Next UK, and we're going to take our gaze most directly to one of spring (and summer)'s most-loved styles: the wedge.
This season we've seeing slip-on mules come back in fashion for the ultra-snooty types who don't have to do any walking around. Well, wedges are still going strong and unlike mules, they don't fall off if you attempt to move faster than a sedated elephant.
This summer there's also going to be a lightness to the accessories world – inspired by the speed and agility of the Olympics no doubt, but also the shades and shapes of nature, we're seeing bags and wedges carrying bright colours.
One trend that's up and coming for this year is cork wedges – a true life-saver in terms of style and comfort. As well as the twined espadrilles as a base, Next's wedges are also coming with a cork wedge and complementary colours for the upper.
Especially good for weddings and accessorizing this season's patterns (tropical, 1970s psychedelic or ultra-feminine crochet and broderie anglaise styles), tan and nude leather uppers in strappy and peep toes give a casual elegance and height to your summer outfits.
We're very keen on the texture too – this is another key style note that Next are particularly promoting with the latest collection – think raffeta, canvas, natural, almost coarse and dense fabrics that give an element of the sea or the forest.
For party times, you'll want to go for this season's hottest bright – yellow. The brave can team it with the season's boldest clothing colour – cobalt blue. We love Next's Citrus Extreme Wedges, which give you a limey-yellow that isn't too acidic that it won't go with anything. With a cute peep toe and a towering wedge heel, it is screaming for a dinky playsuit or some very short shorts…

Rolling out the MCA-21 for the West Bengal registry here, Gupta said the companies would have the option to file their returns through the paper mode within September 15. However, e-filing would be made online after that period, he said.
MCA-21 is a part of governments national e-governance plan by which companies would be able to file their documents through the electronic mode.
This programme was being executed by the ministry in partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) based on the public private partnership model.
West Bengal was the 19th registry where MCA-21 was launched. The next roll out would be made in Jammu but it was being delayed due to connectivity problem. The total cost incurred for implementing the programme was Rs 350 crore.
The joint secretary with the ministry of company affairs YS Malik said the programme would bring speed, transperancy and efficiency in the delivery of the services rendered by the ministry to all the stake holders.
He said the staff working in the department will be given special training so that they become computer savvy.
On other issues, Gupta said the government was trying to bring more reforms. As a first step, it had been decided to give more autonomy to the three professional institutes ICSI, ICAI AND ICWAI. He also said the limited liability partnership Bill would be introduced in the winter session of the parliament.Gupta said the ministry would also set up facilitation centres at Salt lake, Falta Sez and Siliguri in the state.

Coffee & Cupcake Morning | Thursday 15th June 2017
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those who came and supported National Cupcake Day at our Coffee and Cupcake Morning in aid of Alzheimer's Society. We raised an impressive £251.07 in just a few hours!
Alzheimer's Society is massively underfunded therefore we are happy with this amount and hope to do more for the charity in the future.
Finally, a big pat on the back to the Thomas Bell team for baking up some delicious cupcakes especially. We received a number of complements for how tasty they were!
Thank you.

Easton moves to take over abandoned cemeteries
EASTON -- The town's dead may rest more peacefully with the knowledge that Town Clerk W. Derek Buckley has successfully advocated for change at the state level that will lead to the restoration and maintenance of gravesites at three of four abandoned cemeteries in Easton.
The new state law, effective Oct. 1, will allow municipalities to take over abandoned cemeteries to provide for their preservation and upkeep. Impetus for the law came after Buckley shared with legislators his frustrations trying to determine ownership of the cemeteries and raising funds for the work, which he estimates at $700,000.
"Seven hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money for a small town like Easton," he said. Buckley said he and a handful of volunteers tried to trace the ownership trail using probate records and other means, but came to a dead end.
He said they attempted to raise the money through private donations, but willing organizations and individuals backed away when they learned ownership of the burial grounds is in question. Neither could the town apply for federal grants related to the cemeteries for the same reason, he said.
The town initiated an adopt-a-grave program through the Senior Citizen Center, where individuals would pay $50 for the renovation of a particular gravesite and they would agree to keep an eye on it regarding future maintenance as it became necessary. But that would only provide a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of gravesites at Center Street, Lyon and Gilbertown cemeteries that require restoration and maintenance, including repair of headstones and lawn work. A fourth cemetery is on water company property and cannot be acquired.
In the past, people would provide money up front for perpetual care for their gravesites. "The problem is inflation has made those funds pretty well meaningless," Buckley said, using as an example a couple that left $150 years ago for the maintenance of two graves. "You can only use the interest to maintain the graves. It was a lot of money at the time, but inflation has made it kind of worthless," he said.
"Two hundred years ago in perpetuity' wasn't as long as it is today," joked Steve Carlson, an alternate member of the town's Planning and Zoning Commission. Buckley spoke at a joint meeting of the P&Z and the Board of Selectmen this week to discuss the impending legislation.
Under the new state law, a town must post a legal notice three weeks in a row and set a date for a public hearing about cemetery ownership. If no one comes forward to assert ownership of the cemeteries at that hearing the town can take over either the cemetery as a whole or the individual graves.
The takeover is not by eminent domain, Buckley said. "People can come along at a later date to reassert their ownership if they want to, but it would give us ownership rights so we could go out and raise money to fix the cemetery," he said.

The rumoured iPhone 5C could actually be launched as Apple's mid-level iPhone, rather than a low-end budget iPhone as previously expected.
That's according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has an impressive track record for predicting Apple product launches, and believes that the iPhone 5C will take the place of the iPhone 5 when it is released alongside the iPhone 5S next month.
See: What to expect from Apple's 10 September event
His theory is that the iPhone line-up will start with the flagship iPhone, the iPhone 5S, followed by the mid-range iPhone 5C and then the cheaper iPhone 4S, ditching the iPhone 5.
Kuo expects that the price of the iPhone 5C will be between $400 and $500 without a contract subsidy. That's around £250 to £320. The iPhone 5 is currently priced between £529 and £699, so that would still make the iPhone 5C significantly cheaper than the flagship model.
He believes that the iPhone 4S will carry a price tag of between $300 and $400, which is around £190 to £250.
In addition to the iPhone 5, Kuo also thinks that the iPhone 4 will be removed from the iPhone lineup when the new iPhones launch.
Kuo's new prediction contradicts previous reports that suggested Apple will ditch all old iPhone models in favour of the iPhone 5C, leaving just the new iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C available.
Check out our iPhone 5C preview for more information about the expected design, specifications and features of the iPhone 5C.

Top Sustainable Travel Programs in Europe
By Victoria Schlesinger
From researching dolphins and wolves to preserving medieval architecture and organic farms, Europe's top sustainable and responsible tourism programs offer exciting opportunities to travel and help at the same time.
Adriatic Dolphin Project
Imagine yourself at the bow of a small boat, breathing in the saltwater air of the Mediterranean while on the lookout for dolphins…. alright, you may not be at the bow of boat, you'll probably be seated and wearing a life jacket, but there will be salty breezes and you will be in search of bottlenose dolphins alongside scientists from the Adriatic Dolphin Project (ADP) in Croatia.
Flanked by Italy to the west and Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, and Greece to the east, the Adriatic Sea's warm waters have been the site of ADP since 1987; they study the sea's dolphins from the shores of the Cres and Lo inj islands off the coast of Croatia.
As a paying volunteer, you can join researchers for 12 days, taking boat trips in search of the dolphins and living alongside the project's scientists in the ancient village of Veli Lo inj. You'll count dolphins, describe their behavior, and assist in recording data, as well as shop, cook, and wash dishes. Eighty percent of the project's funds come from visitors, and support on-going dolphin research in the region.
La Sabranenque, France
In the hills of southern Provence, in a small town near Avignon, preservation of the local architecture has been going on since 1969. A group called La Sabranenque leads on-going restoration projects, which they invite travelers to join.
Live with other volunteers in one of the stone houses of Saint Victor la Coste, the village whose architecture you will help to restore. Eat homemade family-style meals in the cobblestone courtyard of the La Sabranenque quarters under the shade of trees. Spend your days learning about stone masonry while helping to restore the local castle or other projects. La Sabraneque also offers programs in Italy.
Committed to organic agriculture, almost 100 small farms in Poland now host visitors that want to learn about rural Polish communities, support organic farming, and simply enjoy the outdoors.
Camp, stay in simple lodgings, or join organized tours of the farms; your fees provide diversified income for the farmer and the means for them to pursue ecological farming.
The European Center for Ecological Agriculture and Tourism (ECEAT) is the supporting organization and has been in operation since 1993, fighting to support the rights of local farmers, most of which are run by women. From ECEAT's website, you can order a catalog that provides a description of each of the farms and its nearby towns and activities.
Ecologia Trust
Imagine pursuing the mission statement of "promoting creative change in Russia's ecology, environment, education, and youth welfare." That's exactly what the Ecologia Trust, a Scotland-based charity, has been doing since 1988. Among their many projects, Ecologia offers travel counseling services for independent travelers coming to Russia.
Liza and Rachel, who work with the trust, will arrange visas, homestays, and counsel on other Russian destinations. All fees help fund the trust's work, some of which you can also partake in.
Six years ago the trust established Kitezh, a revolutionary ecovillage devoted to caring for, educating, and finding families for orphans. You can visit the ecovillage and help out in a variety of ways, among them teaching English, spending time with the kids, and gardening.
Carpathian Large Carnivore Project
Tromp through the wildflower-dotted (summer) or snow-engulfed (winter), meadows and forests of the Carpathian Mountains of southern Romania while in search of wolves, bears, and lynx. By your side will be the trusty biologists of the Carpathian Large Carnivore Project (CLCP), who seek to study the carnivores and preserve their habitat.
As a volunteer, you can join their daily tracking expeditions, or, if you prefer just a bit of wildlife viewing and more exploration of southern Transylvania's culture, and even a trip to Dracula's castle, you can visit as an eco-tourist.
You can book through any of the partner travel agencies committed to supporting the project, all of which are listed on CLCP's website. A portion of your trip cost, be it as a volunteer or eco-traveler, goes to the project, which is largely supported by the German Wildlife Society and the Romanian State Forest Administration.

The Kendo UI Window features in many widgets as an editable popup and form container - like the Kendo UI Grid and TreeList, the Kendo UI Diagram and it would be great to be able to keep using it and open it elsewhere dynamically as right now this takes no effect.:
Thank you for voting!
It would be really nice to have an easy way to dynamically create Kendo Windows in AngularJS. And also with separate controller and template. https://github.com/kjartanvalur/angular-kendo-window Here i´m trying to do this but it would be really good to have a similar way integrated into Kendo. There is also a demo on the repo. http://plnkr.co/edit/6lyrblMhZ5ofuonmGoPZ?p=preview
I have this problem where I use the window but I turn off your titles and use my own custom made because of the specifc layout I have. But by doing so I lose the option of making the window draggable since it can only by dragged by its title. Give us a simple config option to set any elements inside the window as the draggable points. That way I can set my own header and make the window draggable by holding it.
Windows should be able to be contained or restricted to a specific area. This can either be using parameters or by containing it to a parent object/DIV. Reasons: Windows can be dragged anywhere on the browser document and when maximized they take up the entire document. This is a problem if you have an area of the document that you always want to have visible. In my example, I have a toolbar at the top of the screen 25px high and I would like the windows to never move into that area so that it is always accessible.
Currently kendoWindow class publishes a "minimize" event but not the corresponding "restore" event, as far as I can tell. We need to catch the "restore" for our UI case, as follows: The default Minimize action leaves the window width unchanged, and collapses the height to 32 pixels. But we'd like to also shrink the minimized width, in order to further save space. It's easy to do that, via the minimize event, but then getting the original width back upon Restore is a problem - I can't find a straightforward way to do that, because the presence of the Restore button ("k-i-restore" class) is elusive - it isn't present at startup, nor is it found at the end of our custom "onMinimize" method. In the absence of the "restore" event, if anyone can suggest a straightforward way to accomplish the above, we would be grateful.
Currently, a modal window allows for tabbing out of the window to controls on the page below. See forum posts http://www.telerik.com/forums/tab-key-and-modal-windows http://www.telerik.com/forums/kendo-window-tab-order-and-section-508 On a web app I run into the problem where the dialog is dependent on a grid row to be present, but due to tabbing out of the not so modal window I can delete the applicable grid row removing the context on which the modal window is based. This is a bug.
Please add option for setting custom window titlebar icons like in this Telerik MVC Window example: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/razor/window/loadingexternalpage
I am loading content into the window asynchronously and would like to see an event that I can subscribe to that would fire when this content has finished loading.
add sure/cancel button on the bottom(default) of Kendo window component
Make the Dialog widget responsive Note: Dialog category missing, selected Window instead
Please consider adding an option to Kendo Window to make it always centered/fixed. This will be essential for Modal windows/dialogs to always stay in the middle of the screen if there are scrollbars on the page. I would go as far as suggest making this the default behavior for windows with modal: true.
Allow the toolbar to be docked to the Kendo window at the top under the title or tabstip at the top under the tab, this way the scrolling would keep the toolbar in place and would be always visible for user action
I need to call .center() on a kendo window to have it centered on the page. Position and size are already included in the configuration properties of kendo window so it would be logical to include the alignment as well.
If the close method can accept the parameter object, then we can check if execute our logic in the close event.
Right now the only position option I see is center. It would be nice to have greater options for positioning the window in the viewport. I know that most people are fine with center but there are times when my business needs to display a lot of data. The center causes the window header to be center but then the user has to scroll or move the window to the top of the screen. Even just an option like TopCenter() would be enough for me. jQueryUI uses a position that takes strings.
We should not lose functionality that the jquery dialog already supports. Keydown is an important aspect in many web apps and right now a user can click the escape button if entering in a bunch of data and it closes out the window.

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry
Imagine my surprise at finding more butternut squash at our Favourite supermarket, Superama, here in Mexico. It is highly unusual, so much so that I bought all seven of them! They were hidden among the pumpkins which had just arrived. Those of you who live in northern climates will easily find these everywhere this time of year. Pinterest to the rescue with this recipe…
Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth, or 1 vegetable bouillon plus 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper, optional
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium-high. Add onion, garlic and ginger.
2. Cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in curry powder, paprika and thyme. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Stir in squash, coconut milk, vegetable broth.
5. Bring to boil, Cover and reduce to a simmer on low heat.
6. Cook for 15 minutes until squash cubes are tender but not mushy
7. Stir in pepper, salt and cilantro.
Delicious served with rice.
Creamy Cauliflower Chowder
Baby its cold outside (in the North, actually here in Mexico too, trust me on this one…). Great time for a hearty chowder – vegan if you leave out the bacon!
It calls for a whole head of cauliflower, but here we can but 1 lb. packages of florets which simplifies the recipe. I think you'll really like this one my friends…great start to the New Year!
Creamy cauliflower chowder
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Yield: 4-5 people
Creamy Cauliflower Chowder is a healthy, easy, comfort food recipe and ready in under 30 minutes. It's gluten free, low carb and keto friendly.
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup diced Onion
- 5 Garlic Cloves (minced)
- 1/2 cup diced Carrots
- 1 Whole Head of Cauliflower (cut into small florets)I bought a one lb. bag of florets
- 1 1/2 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Oregano
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- Salt to taste
Olive Oil and cooked bacon (4 strips) for topping
In a Dutch oven or soup pot, heat butter and add onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes until the onions are soft.
Add carrots, cauliflower, vegetable broth, pepper, oregano and salt to the pot. Bring this to a boil, and slow the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or so till the cauliflower is tender.
Switch off the flame and using a blender, blend the soup partly in the soup pot. If you don't have a hand blender, pour half the soup into a blender and pulse a few tips till creamy.
Switch the flame back on and add a cup of water or broth along with the cream cheese. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and switch off the flame. Feel free to thin the soup further if you like with some more broth or milk. Top with olive oil and bacon and serve hot.
Roasted Garlic and Asparagus Soup
My mom always instructed me to snap off the bottoms of the asparagus stalks when I was a kid as they were never tender and I still follow that rule. She always threw them away in the garbage! I have started to save the end pieces by putting them in a freezer bag for latter use…i.e. soup! This latest find for soup combines two strong flavours – asparagus and garlic. This recipe can be served cold by putting it in the fridge the next day OR serving hot. The former is more of a asparagus gazpacho. The latter is great with some shaved Parmesan cheese added after serving.
I would be interested in your opinion…
Roasted Garlic and Asparagus Soup
- 2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
- 10 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup 2% milk
- cracked pepper and chopped parsley, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Toss asparagus and garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange asparagus and garlic on prepared baking sheet in one layer.
- Roast for 12 minutes, or until asparagus is soft, stirring once.
- Remove from oven and transfer asparagus and garlic to a blender. (I never blend it all as I like it a bit chunky).
- Add broth and milk.
- Blend until smooth. Depending on how large your blender is, you might have to do this part in batches.
- Transfer soup to a soup pot.
- Warm soup over medium-high heat, thinning with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper. Continue to taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
- Ladle into bowls.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
Ultimate Vegetable Soup
Blame it on Costco! Too many great vegetables luring us to buy them. The result…better cook these before they spoil! Pinterest to the rescue, another great recipe worth sharing.
Ultimate Vegetable Soup
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
2-3 carrots
1 zucchini
1 1/2 cups cabbage (I skipped the cabbage this time)
2 cups broccoli
2 cups cauliflower
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups cut green beans (frozen or fresh)
1 1/2 cups peas (frozen) (didn't have any)
1 1/2 cups corn (frozen or canned)
Large handful spinach, or more (skipped this too)
15 oz. can diced tomatoes (and/or fresh)
8 cups vegetable broth
Salt to taste
Prep veggies: mince garlic and dice onion, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms. Roughly chop cabbage if using, and cut broccoli and cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, saute onion for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add broth, tomatoes with juice, and all veggies (except spinach if using).
Increase heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until veggies are desired tenderness.
Stir in spinach or not, and salt to taste.
Vegetable soup freezes wonderfully!
The frozen veggies work great as "fillers" if you want to quickly and easily add more veggies.

When rookie OF Bryce Harper was tossed by umpire C.B. Bucknor for helmet-spiking last week, it marked the first time in 2012 any member of the Washington Nationals had been ejected from a game. If you think that's because the NL East-leading Nats have little to complain about, Adam LaRoche (above) argues (politely, of course) it's really a matter of anger management. From the Washington Post's James Wagner :
"I don't think we've had that long stretch of really frustrating losing, nothing is going right and getting [upset]," said LaRoche, who has been ejected only twice in his nine-year career; last in 2008. "I think that's part of it. I guess we've got calm tempers."
It's worth noting that only six current Nationals players aside from Harper have been ejected in their careers: Mark DeRosa (with the Texas Rangers in 2006); Ian Desmond (throwing his helmet following an overturned call in 2010); Jesus Flores in 2008; John Lannan (in his 2007 major league debut); LaRoche (in 2006 and 2008); and Zimmerman (throwing down his bat and helmet after a strikeout on Aug. 18, 2010). Also, Manager Davey Johnson has been tossed 34 times in his career; his most recent one on Aug. 28, 2011.

I don't really talk a lot about my (Insta)hubby, but he is very much involved in my blog as I am. He is my photographer and co-director of my shoots. Sometimes I leave product shots and editing totally up to him. He actually picked out this bag from Flying Zacchinis. Since his main mode of transportation is a motorcycle, he wanted something that was durable and easy to use while riding. I used to ride with him (on the back of course) all the time since you can lane split in California and was planning on getting my moto license, but I got pregnant and thought it would be better to postpone that for another time.
Flying Zacchinis is a company that was founded in 2009. They specialize in crafted leather accessories ranging from wallets, bags, belts, cases, watch straps and even motorcycle helmets! Their minimalistic design and high grade, full grain leather make for durable, long lasting pieces that never go out of style. My husband John and I (John and Jen, I know) both share this Ago military style bag, but it is holding up just fine! When I'm not pregnant, I plan on using this bag as a fanny pack since the strap is much like a belt and very sturdy. Flying Zacchinis has crossbodys, totes, duffles, wallets, and satchels for women and backpacks, watches, wallets, belts and bags for men.
You can scroll down to see how I styled this bag with a mustard sweater dress that I planned on wearing post-pregnancy because it's a size XXS. It did look a little funny because of my growing belly, but hey I'm all about double dipping, yo!

Nothing too surprising here, but I think most users will appreciate the idea of getting rid of mandatory, periodic password resets.
Robyn Hicock of the Microsoft Identity Protection Team published a Password Guidance paper recently in which recommendations are made to IT administrators and users in regards to password security and management. Passwords are widely used on today's Internet, local networks and even individual devices, and while companies have started to develop alternatives, none will replace the need for passwords for authentication in the near future.

It can be known mostly to the Temple of your Reclining Buddha that is a Buddha which is resting perched on his arm. It is enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and may only be viewed in sections simply because of its size. There are numerous beautiful gemstones that have been in lead within the soles in the feet, a total number of 108 stones total. This really is a number linked to procession, the wobble of the earth, something that is constructed into lots of the temples throughout Thailand.
The Grand Palace
It is really an absolutely beautiful structure that has quite a bit of history, and is the house of precisely what is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It is here that this emerald or jade Buddha can be found, in this palace integrated 1782, the residence from the royalty which were in command of the land back then. This palace includes a couple of hours of not simply the palace itself but also the Wat Phra Kaew Tour.

You can go to the skyscrapers if you want to, and have a fantastic look at the city, but these places upon earth are really beautiful and will give you a taste of methods Bangkok perhaps once was before modernization.

Myrita Craig has had plenty of experience being thrown into the deep end of the pool.
More than 30 years ago, she took on myriad assignments as a young AT&T executive fresh out of college.
She helped direct Cincinnati Bell Inc.'s strategic planning shortly after telephone deregulation in the 1980s. Despite no background in community planning, she was asked to lead the Agenda 360 process during an eight-year career at the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber.
More recently she helped local technology startup Blackbook HR successfully launch its community engagement product as its president and an investor.
"I've often thought I was better off not having a lot of technical expertise in whatever job I've had," she says. "Because then I have to rely on the team doing the work to understand what's important."
But Craig says her newest role as chief operating officer at the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati under CEO Sandy Walker may be her most challenging one yet.
"In business, you have a return on investment objective," she says. "If things don't fit the ROI, it's pretty cut and dried. But when you have a mission, it's more challenging."
The Y's mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy mind, body and spirit. It serves some 140,000 area residents through its 13 branches in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, more than 60 child care centers and Camp Ernst, its 325-acre residential camp in Burlington, Ky.
The mission hasn't changed in 160 years, but how it is achieved is constantly evolving.
"This is a powerful organization. There's an opportunity to be more visible here," she says. "But you have to remain relevant in today's world."
Craig got her first taste of the Y as a seven-year-old growing up in Joliet, Ill.
"I was a good swimmer at a time when it wasn't cool for girls to be athletes," she says. But as a member of a Y swim team with four other girls: "I learned so much: how to win, how to lose, how to compete, how to be disciplined about practice, life lessons that probably wouldn't have been available to me as a young girl."
The Y staff and volunteers have completed a visioning process since Craig joined the staff last summer.
"I break it down this way: There are three things to keep in mind: The mission, the members and the money. The staff and volunteers are in the middle trying to facilitate all three of those. All three have to be in balance."
The Y has identified several stretch goals over the next two years, Craig says.
One is to engage 2,000 new members. Another is to increase children enrolled in Y programs by 18 percent to 23,000 annually. And another is to increase the number of donors and volunteers, what the Y calls its ambassadors, to 10,000.
On a program level, Craig says she'd like to see the Y's 26 swimming pools used to their maximum capability, add new youth sports programs such as lacrosse and broaden its child care program to include enrichment options in areas such as science and technology, art and drama.
Craig says she relishes her new role.
"If I can add value to such a great organization, I'd be honored to do that in the twilight of my career."

Let's call him "Lewis." He's a regular-looking guy, maybe 50 years old, with an overgrown mane and beard. His dark hair is graying, and he looks lethargic. But he smiles, because he's just taken his first shower in quite some time. He sits down in a barber chair and a sheet is draped over his shoulders. An electric razor appears, and the locks fall away. Buzz by buzz, Lewis' face emerges.
"What's better than a haircut after a shower?" muses Vanessa Parent, a professional stylist and owner of Vanessa Hair Salon in Pawtucket. As she cuts, she asks Lewis about his life. She's upbeat and funny. You'd think she was in her own place, but instead she's here, in a lonely parking lot off Barton Street, giving haircuts to people without homes. "I don't have a lot of money to give," Vanessa adds. "But doing this, it immediately makes you feel so good."
None of this would be happening without Peter Kelleher, a Maine native better known as The Soupman. Peter is a veteran contractor and past owner of a doggie daycare; he's a gregarious man with a boisterous voice. In 2016, Peter learned that his son Travis had died. For some time, Travis had struggled with addiction and homelessness. Now, they'd subsumed him.
Peter responded to Travis' death with a biblical intensity. He began to cook and distribute soup to homeless people around Bridgewater, Massachusetts, where he now lives. He started collecting clothes and shoes, coats and toiletries. He embraced his nickname and began a movement, "Support the Soupman," complete with website and T-shirts. He renovated two buses to provide desperately needed services in Bridgewater, Taunton, and now, Pawtucket.
"This has all fallen into my lap, by the grace of God," proclaims Peter. "I'm still in shock. I didn't ask for any of this. But I have a good team. That's what helps this thrive every day."
Peter has a strong relationship with Ocean State Job Lot, a company known for its philanthropy, but it was a newspaper article that turned Peter's attention to Pawtucket. With the help of Mayor Donald R. Grebien – plus an army of partners and volunteers – Peter quickly set up a portable shower unit. The station pops up every Tuesday and Thursday.
"It's a wonderful thing they're doing here," says Tom Hodge, who serves as homeless liaison for Pawtucket. He estimates that 200 to 300 people currently live on the city's streets. "Now we've got to find them homes. That's the big thing."
The Soupman has a knack for attracting helpers – people like Vanessa, who happened to spot the shower unit from her car and now volunteers regularly at the new site. Peter's goal is to establish this kind of service in every city in New England, helping people like Lewis get back on their feet, or even just survive the week.
Peter insists that homelessness, and the factors that contribute to it, affect everyone. "I say it a hundred times a day," he adds. "If it's not in your house, it's in your neighbor's house. And if you don't believe me, you're delusional."

Houston, TX Uber & Lyft Accident Attorneys
If you've sustained injuries resulting from an Uber or Lyft ride, you most likely will need to identify whom should be liable for damages. The responsible party with be liable for paying damages to all injured parties in the accident. Fortunately, our team of competent accident attorneys specializes in handling Uber and Lyft accident cases. With an exceptional understanding of how claims for Uber and Lyft accidents work, our team can help guide you through all the options open to you in the event of an accident.
What Are The Insurance Policies For Uber And Lyft?
All Uber and Lyft drivers are required to carry car insurance wherever they may work in the United States. However, liability laws differ from state to state, as so do coverage options. Uber and Lyft give their driver's insurance protection, even in cases of fatal accidents, but there are several conditions and disclaimers attached to these conditions. This means that Uber and Lyft only take responsibility for accidents under a strict set of circumstances.
Uber's Insurance Policy
Uber covers up to $1 million for a single accident if a driver is on duty and fulfilling a customer request. Uber's insurance coverage starts once the driver accepts the request of a customer and starts driving to the customer's pick-up location. Uber's insurance coverage also covers property damage and other damages to third-parties such as pedestrians or drivers in the event of an accident, and only when the Uber driver is established to have been at fault.
Uber also provides coverage of up to $1 million if another road user is at fault. This is inclusive of uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as for hit-and-run accidents. Collision coverage is the other type of insurance that Uber offers. Once an accident happens either as a result of an Uber driver's negligence or that of a third party, Uber provides coverage up to the value of the other driver's vehicle after a deductible of $1000 is made. This applies only when the accident happens when a driver is on duty AND the driver maintains personal car insurance that includes collision coverage.
Lyft's Insurance Policy
Lyft's insurance policy for drivers is similar to that of Uber. The only notable exceptions are when coverage applies and when it does not apply. Lyft offers no accident coverage when a driver is not on duty. In such cases, the driver is required to use a personal insurance policy for covering the damages. In addition, Lyft insures drivers to varying degrees based on accident specifics. For example, drivers can get from between $50,000 and $100,000 per person per accident. This also includes up to $25,000 property damage coverage.
How a Houston Lawyer Will Help You Claim Uber or Lyft Accident Compensation
In case a Lyft or Uber driver gets into an accident with your car, your insurance policy may not apply, and it will be up to you to report a claim against the personal policy of the driver. Drivers in Houston always have the option of buying extra types of coverage, but it is important that you know that the more the coverage, the higher the premiums you will end up paying.
To succeed in filing a claim, a plaintiff in a Lyft or Uber case is required to prove that the accident resulted from the fault of the ride-sharing service driver. Doing this will require you to prove that the driver owed you a duty of care but did not fulfill it in some way which directly resulted in damages being sustained by you.
Unless you have a legal background, you may not be in a position to prove all of this without the help of a qualified Uber and Lyft accident attorney. This is more so because the defendant will present their own lawyers, and so will the insurance company.
A worthy Uber and Lyft accident lawyer will help you file an accident claim with regards to:
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of income
- Medical expenses
Bear in mind that Texas has a contributory negligence rule. It states that a plaintiff can recover compensation for damages even in cases where the plaintiff himself or herself partially caused the accident. In case both the defendant and the plaintiff were negligent, the jury assesses case facts so as to come up with an appropriate fault percentage for both parties.
In case the defendant has a good lawyer but you do not, the contributory negligence rule could work against you. This itself is reason enough to seek the services of a professional Uber and Lyft accident lawyer.
