The Murrumbidgee is flowing, and we are flooding to experience the food and wine of the entire Riverina.
Between Sydney and Albury in the south, a string of often quaint, old inland towns straddle the Hume Highway west of Canberra. The land is wide and brown, but the sprawling Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers give life to these towns, and have allowed to flourish a dynamic and exciting food and wine scene. Spanning Griffith, Wagga Wagga and towns famous for bushrangers, drought and farming all around, the Riverina is fast becoming a destination for discerning food lovers.
An abundance of autumn shades are currently invading Wagga Wagga - saffron, tangerine, apricot, gold, rust, bronze, amber, pumpkin, crimson - you name it! This particular gem is smack bang in the middle of our Botanic Gardens. Image: @journeytoeveryland via #visitwagga #wagga #waggawagga #botanicgardens #autumn #leaves #tree #nature #riverina #seeriverina #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #gardens
Wagga Wagga may literally translate as "the place of many crows" in the local Wiradjuri aboriginal language, but it's also the place of much livestock. Stock, including cows and sheep, are a major part of business in this town, and visitors can witness the action. Turn up to an amphitheatre-style ring in the Boman industrial area on a Monday morning for cattle and Thursday for sheep and watch farmers sell and barter. If Australia was built on the sheep's back, or you love your beef and lamb chops, this is your chance to witness that world in action.
Sprout and About is the Wagga Wagga farmers' market for those who love a bacon and egg roll and a good coffee for breakfast, and local oranges squeezed fresh. After breakfast, stock up on groceries from 30 stalls that span produce, organic vegetables, even hot sauce. It's how the locals fill their pantries (monthly on the second Saturday, 8am-1pm).

In the small Riverina town of Junee, half an hour from Wagga Wagga, walk down the side of a large brick 1935-built mill that was brought back to life after near destruction from fire by Green Grove Organics. Inside, people shovel, Oompah Loompah-style, and work to turn organic couverture chocolate through fruit and nuts – think ginger, macadamia nuts, coffee beans - which are polished to a rich gloss in gleaming copper barrels you can see through viewing windows. They make licorice here, too, the love-or-hate black confection said to cure constipation and nourish our immune systems. There's a shop out front to stock up. The Junee Farmers Markets are bustling on the first Sunday of each month, so time your visit well.
A welcoming French restaurant in Leeton has a distinctly Australian accent, selling local wines and serving bistro favourites to sharp locals. The warm Pages on Pine does melting brie with pear and rhubarb compote, a crisp confit duck with pork belly and prunes, and vanilla crème brulee among other French classics. It's one of the best eats in the Riverina.
Griffith is arguably the culinary heart of the Riverina, and its cultural mix of Fijians, Indians and Italians ensure gastronomic diversity. A fourth generation family bakery has been making bread, biscotti, cannoli, gelato and nougat since 1952 at Bertoldo's Pasticceria. Another culinary staple – wine – is a persuasive reason to visit Griffith. De Bortoli does its iconic dessert wine Noble One as well as a host of premium varietal, sparkling and recently Prosecco, and tastings are available from its cellar door, surrounded by expansive gardens. McWilliams Wines is another premium stop for the drop, and the cellar door is set on a stunning rural property. Just look out for the massive structure that looks like a barrel buried in the Australian earth, and ask for a tasting.
It's possible to race down the Hume Highway, eyes on the road and mind on the tunes, but take a detour and explore the historical towns of the quaint, often buzzing Riverina, its markets, vineyards and restaurants. It's a destination steeped in history, but being bound by two of our greatest rivers and the farmers, producers and people who reside there, it's one with a bright gastronomic future as well.

Sweet Apple flavor with a hint of candied Cinnamon and Caramel.
Creamy and smooth and completely addicting! Glides on beautifully smooth with no waxy feel. Made with skin softening oils such as Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Jojoba, Cocoa Butter, Babassu Oil, and Vitamin E for nourishing, and a hint of Castor for a gorgeous shine.
Our lip balm does not contain sweeteners as some lip balms do. Sweeteners tend to make you lick your lips, which can cause your lips to chap. Kind of defeats the purpose of using lip balm.
Ingredients: Beeswax, Castor Oil, Cocoa Butter, Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Mango butter, Jojoba Oil, Babassu Oil, Vitamin E and Flavor Oil.

In gemstones, green supposedly has healing and calming powers. When jewelry sends a message about who we are, who wouldn't want to convey a calming presence?

This 'Hotline Bling' sweater can only mean one thing: Ultimate coziness
If Drake's not calling you late night when you need to cuddle (that's what that song is about, right?), this Holiday Bling sweatshirt will help keep you warm on those cold lonely nights.
Sure, it's flawed — ideally, it would be a fuzzy gray turtleneck. But Drake himself is the furthest thing from perfect. And it does feature simulated embroidery of Drizzy's signature dance moves and a shopping list for a night with Champagne Papi.
It will set you back $25, and makes the perfect gift for anyone you want to passively aggressively tell to think of you late night when they need love.

Nebraskans may soon be able to conduct court-related activities in retail stores using a new Court Information Services Kiosk.
In the near future, Nebraskans may be able to pay court fees and look up other court-related information at their local Walmart or Target with a new Court Information Services Kiosk.
Last year, the Nebraska Administrative Office of the Courts and Probation completed the test phases of a new kiosk that includes an Internet payment system application that allows the public to pay traffic tickets and citations. The kiosk also includes applications to search the multi-court case calendar and the Nebraska Supreme Court website's forms page, according to a state report.
The kiosk was first tested from March to June 2010 in the Franklin County Courthouse, said Bill Miller, Nebraska deputy state court administrator for IT.
"When we put it out in Franklin, we didn't have a touchscreen with it, so the instant feedback was everybody tried to touch [the screen] instead of using the roller ball and mouse," Miller said. "So when we brought it back from Franklin, we did modify it so that we added a touchscreen capability to it."
Other modifications have been made to the kiosk since testing. Miller said during the pilot project, the kiosk originally had a video conference feature so the user could virtually meet with staff members in a county court. This function was later removed because Miller and the team working on the kiosk weren't satisfied with the software.
Although Nebraska is currently pushing kiosk technology into the mainstream, the technology isn't new, said James McMillan, principal court management consultant for the National Center for State Courts, in an e-mail. In Orange County, Calif., a kiosk is used to provide self-help services related to the courts http://www.occourts.org/self-help/ with the I-CAN! system.
McMillan said kiosks have been used in courthouse lobbies for information and on occasion they've been used as a payment method similar to an ATM.
While using kiosks in courthouses hasn't proved too popular for the last 10 to 15 years, kiosk use is making somewhat of a comeback. Larry Murphy, a court consultant for the National Center for State Courts, said because technology advances so quickly, kiosks often become antiquated.
Murphy said he sees two kiosk trends as they relate to courts: Kiosks are going to pop up more, and courts will also focus on providing information through Web services.
"The national trend is to deliver services of the court more conveniently to the citizen — rather than driving to the courthouse, standing in line, and to pay or to give an affidavit or file an affidavit with the court — just to make it more convenient," Murphy said. "That's what the citizens are demanding."
Providing a court information kiosk in places like stores would be beneficial because the hours that the kiosk could be used extend beyond when a courthouse is open, Miller said.
"I really think where the use of [the kiosk] would probably end up is if it could be put in a Walmart or a Target or something like that where the public really gets to it," Miller said.
But one of the struggles for keeping a court information kiosk in a store like Walmart is maintaining it if something goes wrong, Murphy said. If the kiosk goes offline or gets a virus, the store needs to follow specific procedures to fix the problem.
Miller said Nebraska's $6,000 kiosk is currently in storage in Lincoln, and on Jan. 20, when the chief justice gives the state of the judicial branch address to the state Legislature, the kiosk will be put in the Capitol rotunda to allow members of the legislative branch to try it out.

What ever happened to the family friendly movie? The proliferation of kid films and animated features would convey the illusion that all is well with the world and that the family feature film has been warmly embraced by the current Hollywood establishment as a mainstay of their production output; that family audiences are not only desired but perhaps, despite the continued objections from those who insist Hollywood only caters to 18 to 24 males, the targeted demographic for box-office lucre. This is a gross misconception, as what Hollywood is after is what it has always been after: your money. Simply put, if the major studios could get away with the dangling of a shiny bead in front of your eyes (at twelve dollars a pop, that is) they would do so. And that is exactly what has happened to the family feature film. It has become a shiny bead. A hypno-disc worthy of the hoariest William Castle marketing scams. The formula is easy, take the most pliable of minds, who have yet to develop evaluative faculties and throw any colorful, active mediocrity their way, and when it succeeds, throw a succession of progressively insubstantial sequels their way. Repeat process. Ad infinitum.
"The Croods" (2013)
For an example of what is despairingly wrong with modern animation features, one needs look no further than "The Croods", an example of what appears to be the new industry penchant for "animation release of the week", with all of the apparent thought put behind the project that such accelerated production schedules might indicate. The film begins promisingly with a whimsical family history told through animated cave paintings, but the magic is quickly extinguished with the look of three-dimensional plasticity that has become de rigueur for all contemporary studio feature animation and an opening sequence which flaunts one of the curses of the cinema's reliance of computer imagery, either live-action or in animation: busy action which defies the laws of gravity and general physics to the point of making Wile E. Coyote's antics seem like a demonstration of quantum mechanics. (All this and the intrusive visual references to football- or is it rugby? -while the entire sequence is scored using Lindsay Buckingham's Tusk, a bizarre example of anachronistic overkill that would make Fred Flintstone wince with embarrassment.
It is immediately apparent that the contemporary tradition of the avoidance of trained and talented voice artists will continue with an assortment of the all too recognizable (Cloris Leachman giving the same damn overexposed grumpy granny performance she's been hauling around for decades) or, more damagingly, the vocally unmemorable who seems to be hired by the stature of their recognition by the film industry rather than their usefulness in being able to create a distinctive character solely through their voice. The flat timbres of the vocalizations of Nicholas Cage, Catherine Keener and Ryan Reynolds should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever seen a performance by any of the aforementioned, yet it is a persistent habit of today's studios to insist that marquee names (Remember Brad Pitt as "Sinbad"? Neither does anyone else.) provide a greater guarantee of financial success worthy of the artistic compromises. Unfortunately, much as the screenplay by co-directors Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco creates distinctive personalities for all but one of the seven core characters (Keener's maternal Ugga simply gets lost in all of the calamity), the monotonous quality of the acting simply drags down the more colorful aspects possible in the characters. That real connections with resulting emotional resonance are occasionally developed between several of the characters, especially between the inquisitive, restless teen Eep (with well matched vocals, played with real pizazz by Emma Stone) and her dad, the loving but obsessively overprotective Grug, is fairly miraculous in itself for a film without a real story (These moments also demonstrate the depth of feeling the film might have striven for in developing character rather than being content with wall-to-wall action and slapstick.), in what is essentially a series of noisome events following the same tired premise since cinema immemorial which tells of a trek to a promised land absent of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, droughts or any other form of environmental catastrophe. The episodic nature of the narrative- in which a new and more explosive bit of action occurs every five minutes or so -gives the audience the impression of being trapped inside a pinball machine: its all very colorful and detailed and painstaking, but we'd rather know more about the central characters who are not well developed as idiosyncratic conceptions, but are locked into stereotypical models- the sexpot teen, the nasty grandma, the oafish son, the strong but brainless dad. Still, there is sufficient humor which works well enough within the script's limited vision, and- oddly enough -the central character tension between Grug and Eep, following a universal path of teen rebellion versus the burdens of worrisome parental responsibility, manages to sneak in several moments which reach a satisfying and honestly earned level of poignancy. Indeed, there are several moments which are truly striking: Eep's first discovery of the dancing embers of fire; Guy's saving of Eep from a deadly cloud of birds which strip flesh from the bone with piranha-like efficiency; a truly hilarious escalation of feral behavior by the youngest, a nappy head little tot named Sandy whose entire means of expression is encompassed by growls or dangerously chomping teeth, a playpen version of the Tasmanian Devil.
Eventually, the film plays with the sentimental tropes of domestic family comedy (Grug and Ugga might be identified as history's- in this context anyway -first potential empty nesters), but as with most contemporary animated films shies away from prolonged exposure to sentimentality, as if its audience might shun contact with genuine human emotions like a virulent pathogen. (Substituting a world in which every movement is met with the effect of bounding and tossing like Superman playing with a Frisbee becomes tiresome- and stupidly undercuts the climax of the film -hardly engaging the emotional appetites of the viewer.) No matter what technology the studios and theaters contrive to project their animated visions in, without the reemergence of genuine heart into story lines, the characters will forever be consigned to the world of the 1D movie.

The British Museum are still reproducing prints from the Mexican revolution on paper and canvas, inspired by their now sadly closed exhibition on the subject. The prints available actually date to well before and after the period generally considered to be the actual revolution in Mexico and therefore cover a broad range of dates and styles and changing politics.
The image pictured was made to celebrate the defeat of Nazis at end of WWII and remains a powerful image today. It offers an unusual alternative to some of the other political posters widely available for sale from this period.
Each print is made to order, with prices starting at £15 for a 50 x 40 print on paper.

Once pilgrims have arrived in Santiago de Compostela they can still continue walking after a well deserved rest. El Camino de Santiago hasn't finished yet. There is a beautiful extension or epilogue to el Camino de Santiago or The Way of St. James: the way to Finisterre and Muxia (el camino a Finisterre y Muxia).
There are around 90 km from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre. Finisterre is a village and a cape in the Atlantic ocean. Finisterre means the end of the land, and this cape was the end of the known land in the Middle Ages. The final goal of many pilgrims is arriving in Finisterre and sitting down on the rocks of the cape in order to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. It's also a tradition to burn some clothes or anything that has accompanied the pilgrims in their pilgrimage as a symbol of renovation, a rebirth.
Pilgrims need around 3 or 4 days to get to Finisterre from Santiago de Compostela. This is a beautiful Camino much more unspoiled, less travelled and if you thought that when entering Santiago de Compostela you missed the beautiful postcard images of the city and cathedral now you'll realize that those famous pictures were taken from the western exit of the Santiago de Compostela, the exit to the ocean.
If after Finisterre you still want to walk more, el Camino de Santiago still continues a bit. There are 30 km of really nice path along the beautiful coast to Muxia and its impressive church on the ocean rocks. Here you can get another diploma accrediting that you've walked el Camino de Santiago or Way of St. James until the end of the land!
"El Camino de Santiago doesn't finish when you arrive at Santiago de Compostela, but it does continue after it.
Following the sun till "the end of the earth" (Finisterre), admiring an amazing sunset from the place where our ancestors thought the Earth finished, walk till it's not possible to keep on walking, and realising that, after all, we have to turn back home, keep El Camino in our hearts and follow our walking through life…
But by then you've already learn that there's always some arrow to follow, and most important, that no matter if you get the wrong path provided that you enjoy every step and every little thing that surrounds your own way."

Smile and Laughter in Northern Uganda
By Rev.Willy Akena
There is Acoli saying, Gin caka pe moko odeyo, meaning what you are given each day has no impact. Yes, skill training is good but has little impact if you have no tools. It is like getting food stuff for a meal each day. But when you have a tool like sewing machine, your training would have some impact that is why Ajok Beatrice one of the victims of the Lord's Resistance War says now she has a reason to smile after it was announced to her that she will benefit from a sewing machine fund. The fund is a direct involvement of Elsebeth Højgaard from Denmark who has a passion for the former war victims.
The news we have is that the students at the Women Development Centre will all receive a sewing machine upon completion of their training.
While speaking to the beneficiaries Elsebeth said her people in Kingos Church had contributed what they could so that others benefit. She challenged the former students to do like wise. "In the same way we want you to contribute what you have so that others will also benefit". The idea is for the Old Students of WDC to contribute something small towards the cost of the sewing machines. What you will pay will go back to the sewing machine funds, and will be spent for purchase of sewing machines only. The contribution from Kingos Church pays for 75% of the total cost and the students are to pay 25%. This is a kind of Micro Finance Scheme, where you do not just receive something for free but you contribute and thus own it.
Bishop Nelson Onono-Onweng appealed to the beneficiaries to make proper use of the machines. It is absurd to note that as a result of the peace prevailing in Northern Uganda some people have resorted to sleeping without doing serious work to support themselves. The Bishop cautioned the young ones to avoid having too many children as it leads to chronic poverty.
During the visit to the Women Development Centre, Elsebeth divided her time between interacting with the students and attending board meetings.
This year we have a total of 62 new students at the Centre. They are mainly child mothers, formerly abducted children some orphans and girls who are unable to continue with formal education because of lack of money to pay school fees.
The center is grateful to Elsebeth Højgaard, Kingos Church in Denmark, Danish Uganda Friendship Association (DUFA), the Mothers Union, Diocese of Northern Uganda of the Province of Church of Uganda and DANIDA for their support.
The WDC appeals to well-wishers to come in and support feeding of the students and payment of some of the staff who are not catered for in the DANIDA funding.
Let the child mothers together with their children benefit with your support to feed them. Remember, one by one makes a bundle. Thank you for your consideration to support us.

I know the absolute path of an image (say for eg, /sdcard/cats.jpg). Is there any way to the content uri for this file ?
Actually in my code I download an image and save it at a particular location. In order to set the image in an ImageView currently I open the file using the path, get the bytes and create a bitmap and then set the bitmap in the ImageView. This is a very slow process, instead if I could get the content uri then I could very easily use the method

Professor Andrew Penaluna
Research Director of the Centre for Creative Entrepreneurship
Tel: +44 (0) 1792 481000
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Research Director of the Centre for Creative Entrepreneurship
Andy studied in Cornwall at what is now Falmouth School of Art. The Universities of Wales and New York supervised his doctorate, awarded for his research into early and unrecorded airbrush history and image manipulation. He has been programme director of a diverse number of BA (Hons) degrees. These range from illustration to multimedia and, more recently, advertising design. Andy has also taught on the Fellow's programme at Kodak's International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York.
His appointment as Professor of Creative Entrepreneurship was made in recognition of his contribution to developing creative and innovative thinking in business contexts. In what he describes as a 'career swerve', he was nominated for two international awards for research papers including the Internationalizing Entrepreneurship Education and Training Annual Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where a paper co-authored with Kathryn Penaluna won the prestigious 'Best International Empirical Paper'.
Andy subsequently set up the UK Higher Education Academy's Special Interest Group in Entrepreneurial Learning, a group dedicated to meeting the challenged of enterprise education, and in 2010-11 the 95+ University network Enterprise Educators UK elected him as their Chair. He is now an Executive Director with a remit to develop international dialogues. He works closely with Welsh Assembly Government and the Enterprise Directorate the UK Government Department for Business Innovation and Skills and is also an acknowledged expert at the United Nations in Geneva, where he has contributed to the development of a new international policy toolkit. In June 2011 Andy received a personal mention in the Government's White Paper for Higher Education 'Students at the Heart of the System' and was on the Advisory Panel of the Wilson Review: Business-University Collaboration.
Educating the educators for enterprise has also been a key goal and Andy has worked internationally on this agenda, including a number of expert's role for the European Commission. He helped to lead a Welsh Consortia of Universities and colleges to develop what is believed to be the UK's first fully University accredited M Level module in Initial Teacher Training for enterprise educators. Developing 'constructively aligned' assessment strategies for enterprise and entrepreneurship education are high on Andy's agenda.
Andy chairs the UK's Quality Assurance Agency's Graduate Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Group, a team that has put together expert guidance for all UK University educators. Andy is also a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the American University in Cairo, Visiting Professor at the University of Leeds and an Innovation Business Fellow of the Royal College of Art.

Creating a Type 2 Diabetes Management Plan
Crafting a personalized diabetes care plan is the first step toward taking control of your health.
Receiving a type 2 diabetes diagnosis can be overwhelming in and of itself — and then you have to think about all the things you must do to manage your condition. That includes eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, checking your blood sugar, and taking any medications you may need. You may find it difficult to know where to begin, but working with a certified diabetes educator (CDE) to design a personalized diabetes care plan is the first step toward taking control of your health.
When crafting your plan, the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) recommends focusing on these seven key areas of diabetes management — called the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors™ — to put you on the path to success.
1. Healthy eating. Your body breaks the carbohydrates in the food you eat down into glucose to be used for energy. Insulin is needed to move the glucose into your cells. When you have type 2 diabetes, your body doesn't produce enough insulin or the cells don't use insulin properly, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). This means blood glucose (sugar) remains elevated, which can lead to complications including heart disease and nerve damage.
Watching your intake of carbs — which can spike blood sugar quickly — and eating a healthy, well-balanced diet that includes lean protein, whole fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats can help keep your blood sugar in check and allow you to maintain a normal weight, according to the ADA. Learning how to count carbs, read food labels, and measure servings can help keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day, says Lori Ann Slimmer, RN, CDE, a community educator at University Hospitals Geneva Medical Center in Geneva, Ohio. "The key is to find a healthy way of eating that fits in with your lifestyle," she says.
2. Being active. Regular physical activity helps reduce insulin resistance so your insulin works better. It also helps improve cardiovascular fitness and enables you to better manage your weight, Slimmer says.
"Losing weight, if you need to, and keeping it off is an important part of your diabetes management plan," explains Sethu Reddy, MD, MBA, chief of the adult diabetes section at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. This is because both obesity and diabetes are risk factors for heart disease, he says.
Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise (brisk walking, bicycling, swimming, jogging, hiking) at least five days a week, and add in some type of strength training at least twice a week, the ADA suggests.
3. Monitoring. When and how often you monitor your blood sugar levels depends on many factors, including whether you take oral medication or insulin, how often you exercise, and your diabetes management goals. Some people may need to monitor their blood sugar a few times a week, while others may need to do it three times a day, Dr. Reddy says. He suggests working with a CDE to make sure you know how and when to test your blood sugar.
4. Taking medication. Medication for type 2 diabetes can include oral medications, insulin, and injections that lower your blood sugar; aspirin to reduce your heart disease risk; blood pressure medication; and cholesterol-lowering drugs. "Not everyone takes medication for type 2 diabetes, but if you do, it's important to take it as directed and to check in with your doctor routinely to make sure you are doing all that you can to keep your diabetes under tight control and to lower your risk for heart disease," Reddy says.
5. Problem solving. While you can't prevent life from getting in the way of your diabetes management, you can strive to have a plan in place for those unexpected events. For example, maybe your flight got delayed and you missed a meal, causing your blood sugar to drop, or work stress sent you careening down a slippery slope of unhealthy behaviors. "Nobody is perfect," Slimmer says. "The key is to learn from your mistakes. Keep a journal so you can discuss what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again with your CDE at your next visit."
6. Reducing risks. Diabetes can raise your risk for heart attack, stroke, blindness, poor wound healing, and other health conditions, Slimmer says. "A risk assessment can tell you where you stand, and from there we can figure out how to prevent any of these from occurring," she says. For some people, this may be losing weight or quitting smoking to improve heart health. "Make sure you have an action plan and follow it carefully," Slimmer says.
7. Healthy coping. Stress can affect blood sugar levels directly, and it can also set you up for unhealthy behaviors like overindulging in fatty comfort foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, and not exercising, Slimmer says. Healthy ways to cope with stress include reaching out to friends and family, taking a walk or doing another activity you enjoy, and treating yourself kindly. "If you are having a really difficult time, ask your CDE for more tips and consider talking with a therapist," Slimmer suggests.
Not all seven areas apply to every person who has diabetes, so Slimmer recommends working with a CDE to design a personalized plan for you. It's also important to remember that your diabetes care plan isn't set in stone and will likely need to be adjusted over time. "If you're maintaining a normal weight and your blood sugar is stable, it's a pretty good indicator that you're doing really well right now," Slimmer says. "[But] you don't want to become complacent, so make sure to check in with your health care team regularly."

Condenser coils are part of a refrigeration circuit and allow the thermal exchange between two fluids, in this case, air and cooling gas. Unlike evaporators, condensers have a header at the entry.
It should be noted that Radiadores Cerezo has the experience and knowledge to manufacture reversible devices, which work as a condenser and evaporator, combining the trap of condenser units with the distributor of evaporator units in the same input.
We can find these in various facilities such as thermal control in clean rooms, industrial air conditioning in data centres, conditioning of swimming pools, or drying processes such as is the case with meat curing. We have taken part in relevant projects such as the nuclear security in France or HVAC units in Germany.
Radiadores Cerezo condensers are custom-made produced, adapting its design to the equipment needs and, therefore, being an ideal option for new projects, as well as for replacements. Our condensers are usually built in two configurations: the 325 with a geometry of 25 x 21.65 mm and copper tubes of 3/8″ and the 538 with a geometry of 38 x 34 mm and copper tubes of 5/8″. The type of materials and their thickness are chosen according to the working conditions and according to the requirements of each client and project.
In addition, we have advanced selection software that allows us to make thermodynamic calculations according to the specific working conditions that the project requires. Thanks to this calculation programme and our extensive experience, we can optimise performance, quality and price.
Concerning the after-sale services, we offer transport solutions adapted to your needs by allowing deliveries in different formats; by land, sea or air, transport door to door, and urgent, from EXW to CPT, according to the Incoterms 2010, managed by ICC, International Chamber of Commerce.
Radiadores Cerezo products are covered by a 2 years warranty.

Head Teacher's Leadership Academy from Columba 1400 is designed to support head teachers as they focus on the cultures they create through an understanding of core values. This approach assists school leaders in setting standards for teachers, students, communities and the interface between all three. The programme focuses head teachers to critically reflect on how they see themselves as social leaders. Attention is paid to the development of conditions in the workplace within which learning is most likely to occur. Head teachers will leave inspired about their role in creating the environment and conditions for quality relationships for young people. Participants leave further equipped to enable change through values based leadership and to improve their school so that it will ultimately lead to improvement in the lives of young people, their staff, their families, their learning networks and the whole community.
Central to every Columba 140 HTLA is the development of skills for learning, life and work and these are all explored within the topics of leadership and communication - organised under the 6 Columban core values.
In addition to these core components, participants bring their personal values into focus enabling them to recognise who they are, what they are about and where they are aiming to go in their lives. Participants are given the opportunity to experience new techniques and approaches when faced with conflict or challenge through alternative styles of communication.
The group experience enables all participants to explore their current reality and create their desired reality for themselves and others. The residential element provides an opportunity for participants to put what they have learned into practice, recognise what they have learned and appreciate what they have achieved through celebrating themselves and others. This is in preparation for returning to their school community where they will serve themselves, their children/young people, their staff and their community.
The programme is aimed at existing head teachers, newly appointed head teachers and aspiring head teachers.
From Phase 1 to Phase 3 is normally about 10/12 weeks depending on school holidays.
From Phase 3 to Phase 4 is approximately 8/10 weeks

When a Java virtual machine encounters a request for a class which hasn't been loaded to its memory, it consults a class loader to locate and load the class. Typically, the classes are loaded from a filesystem or URL as a bytecode array and then converted into an instance of class java.lang.Class within the virtual machine. Jiapi is a tool which can be used to alter this normal class loading behavior. Instead of letting the class to be loaded as it is, Jiapi is used to manipulate classes' bytecode. The manipulated class is then passed to a class loader which loads it into a Java virtual machine. In addition to just described just-in-time bytecode weaving, Jiapi can be used to instrument a class ahead-of-time. In this mode compiled classes are preprocessed by Jiapi instrumentors and modified classes are then serialized on a filesystem to be executed later.
This whole process can be arranged so that it is transparent to a class being manipulated. This transparency can be utilized by several types of applications:
- Debugging tools
- Debugger could add tracing information in between the original bytecode of a class. Profiling tools
- A profiling application could manipulate classes by adding "hooks" which can be caught at runtime to them. This way it is possible to analyze and visualize the runtime characteristics of a program without touching the code itself. Aspect oriented programming tools
- AOP compilers could utilize Jiapi as a bytecode weaver. etc...
The focus of a project is to provide:
- a framework to implement instruments which manipulate Java bytecode
- implementations for common bytecode manipulations
- an abstraction for some of the details in bytecode structure
- easy to use event based API and runtime hooks for application developers
- instrumentation configuration tools
- ClassLoaders utilizing bytecode instrumentation
- class loading plugins for application servers

Hiya everyone!
Just wanted to take a moment to mention a few things. First of all, I am still wrapping up the next episode of Just Draw! for the new channel on You Tube. I want to make sure I am releasing high quality videos that are informative and engaging, as well as fun to watch. (In case you missed last week's episode, here's a link.) Just Draw! Episode 1
Also, in case you haven't heard, the next episode will be based on the theme of anime art… a topic very special to me. I'll talk briefly about the inspiration for the illustration I create, and show a compilation of the creation process from start to finish. You'll get to see the blank paper get all filled up with graphite, ink and paint! (Perhaps a little extra bonus at the end too.)
Secondly, a big shout out of thanks to everyone recently following me on Twitter, You Tube, Subscribing to me here… and everywhere else I share my art! I am very thankful that you all are finding value in my content and are appreciative of art as much as I am. I really do believe that sharing the creation process of art has a way of inspiring and motivating people's inner creativity.
So again, thanks for joining me on these adventures… you'll be hearing more from me very soon. Take care!

Watch out for lane closures on I-49 and the Johnson Mill Boulevard this week
Starting Monday and through the rest of the week, crews will be working on I-49 in Johnson. The work will require overnight lane closures between the Clear Creek bridges south of Johnson and just north of the Johnson Exit.
Workers will remove temporary concrete barriers, mill existing pavement and resurface with new asphalt on northbound and southbound lanes. The inside and outside lanes of I-49 will alternately be closed during this time period to allow for construction.

- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - My last newsletter was in October. As usual, things are very hectic here at CARM and trying to keep ahead of the tsunami of work is quite difficult. So, my apologies for not producing a newsletter sooner. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope you have a good Christmas season. It is not about getting gifts or giving gifts. Jesus is the reason for the season. Remember that our Messiah, the one who fulfilled the law, the one who became flesh and dwelt among us, the one who bore our sins in his body on the cross, the one who died and rose on our behalf, has given us the greatest gift anyone could ever receive. The eternal life and forgiveness of sins that we have in Christ has no comparison in value. So, during this holiday season do not neglect to thank our Lord for such a great work of salvation that he has given us.
- Possible support for Prison Ministry - We recently received a request for some of our Basic Christian Doctrine manuals to be given to a local prison ministry. Many ministries are facing financial hardships and CARM is no exception. We cannot afford, because we don't have the money, to donate the manuals that we would like. They are asking for 50. The total would be $425 and that is at cost. If you would like to donate to this fund, please go to carm.org/donate and make a donation. In the comment section please mention that it is for the prison manuals. If you're not able to comment, then email us at email@example.com and let us know that you donated so we can properly designate your donation. Thank you.
- CARM Redesign - Unfortunately, it will take another two or three months to be able to utilize the new CARM design with its additional features. One of the problems we have discovered is that the code given to us by the company who did the redesign was not efficient. It slowed the load time down significantly. We do not have the finances now to pay anyone to clean it up. Now, you might ask if we can get our money back, and no, that option is gone. Anyway, it's just another project that has had to be pushed back.
- CARM Finances - I do not like asking for donations. However, CARM, by the first of the year will be officially broke. All of our reserves are gone and we will not be able to make the payroll for the few people we support. We need help. Please consider donating at carm.org/donate or CARM, PO BOX 1353, Nampa ID 83653. Thanks.
- Philippines Trip - A local pastor goes to the Philippines once a year for preaching and teaching. The ministers there have asked him to teach on various theological topics and he has asked if I would be willing to go since I know those topics well. We both want to serve the Lord over there by preaching and teaching, but we will also be doing relief work in the areas hit by the hurricane. I've told him that I would like to go. However, the CARM finances do not permit me to go at this time. So, if you have a special burden for the Philippines and would like to support my trip, the total cost will be around $4000. If you donate for that trip but the total amount is not raised in order for me to go, then I can take whatever you donate, convert it to cash and give it to the pastor (Randy Reams) to take with him. Each time he goes he leaves more than $1000 in cash for the missionaries and the locals. So, we want to leave as much as possible with people. I ask that you would prayerfully consider supporting either of my trips, and/or give a financial gift for the Christians (and non-Christians) in the Philippines.
- Salt Lake Radio Show - As you may know, months ago we began working towards increasing the radio outreach. It took quite a while to arrange everything in Salt Lake City as well as Boise Idaho. It's going well. We are now getting regular calls from the Salt Lake City area which, we're glad to say, covers around 2 million people. Please pray for the financial support of that radio show at that station. We don't want to have to cut it back.
- Since last newsletter - Since the last newsletter I have released over 80 articles. I have been bolstering the questions section with some of the 2000+ questions that have been sent to CARM. I've also begun research on the Orthodox Church. So far the section I released on it only has a few articles, but there's more to come.
- Got suggestions? - Do you have any suggestions for CARM? We want to know what you think. Please help us out by emailing us at email@example.com to submit suggestions. Now is the time since we are in the redesign process of CARM, and as we make plans we want to improve in areas which will matter to CARM's readers.
- I just wanted to thank you for your informative article on the subject of Homosexuality. I knew most of it, but couldn't quote it chapter and verse or word for word. The reason I Googled and found your site was to get all the Bible's verses on the subject. I have been reading all the articles about Phil Robertson and his quotes in GQ magazine and the uproar. I'll admit he kind of got blunt there, but the message came out loud and clear, I guess. I read the comments left by people and it just amazes me. I know the US and It's amazes me how many people and even our President condone such activity. People seem to be non-belivers or they twist the Scripture to fit their ideas and opinions. If it's okay, I might leave a post with the link to your site. It might help some of them get the true scoop on the subject.
- I cannot tell you how much of a joy that your website has been to me. I attended Liberty University and recently graduated with my B.S. in Religion. That, in itself, is an achievement for my family as I'm the first one to actually achieve that level (my father never graduated high school). However, I want you to know that I wouldn't have been able to do it without your material. I'm 37 years old and have a full time job with three young children. Let's say that time was a luxury for me. However, I used your website quite a few times in my papers because I love the way that your material was composed and it fell in line with my doctrine. I thank you from the bottom of my heart on how much that you taught me over the years. I now take the papers that I have written and pass them on to others.
- please this is urgent, you are chosen among many and highly favored, i want you to sponsor me to preach the mysteries of the kingdom on radio and tv, remember this is urgent, there is a lot you need to be taught about me, am not a human am an angel, last angel with the message of mysteries of the kingdom and if you love and fear God truly then this is time to prove it. this is a test, am God Almighty, i have chosen you, remember i say it is a test. But i will help you by some quotations about this day and this test. please pray before and read carefully.
- Calvinists called CH Spurgeon the "Prince of Preachers", If Spurgeon is the "Prince of preachers" then what is Paul? The only thing higher than a prince is a king and we only have one King and that is Jesus. So Calvinists put Spurgeon above Paul and Paul heard directly from our risen Lord. That means that Calvinists put Spurgeon above the word of God. That's a cult. Cults put their faith in human beings, not in the words of Christ. Carm puts their faith in Matt Slick, not in the words of Christ. That's why Matt is right about one thing when he said, "Carm is about one man, me." That's a cult.
- Ezra the Scribe EZRA & THE BLOODLINE Racism was invented By the Jewish Priest Ezra! Ezra & Hitler are in total agreement. In ancient Israel mixed marriages had been allowed, but eventually they came into disfavor. Foreign women were blamed when Jewish men failed to fulfill their religious obligations or fell into idolatrous worship. The reaction against such marriages was an attempt to avoid influences that might dilute or corrupt Judaism. Those who continue to assert the narrow, tribal nature of Judaism are ignoring the outcome of the struggle between the opposing viewpoints during the fractious post-exilic period. Today, it is the lesson of Jonah, not that of Samuel, that is read as the prophetic portion on the Day of Atonement, a message of universalism.
