Just a reminder that you get source code access as an OEM customer and the LGPL viewer also allows you access to the code (which is a subset of the full commercial code).
These options make debugging and also seeing how things work much easier (as a customer emailed to point out last week). There are also some useful debug jars on the Customer page.
The Javadocs have also all been update this week. It all hopefully make the software as easy as possible to use and integrate into your applications.
IDRsolutions develop a Java PDF Viewer and SDK, an Adobe forms to HTML5 forms converter, a PDF to HTML5 converter and a Java ImageIO replacement. On the blog our team post anything interesting they learn about.

Discouraged because your life isn't everything you dreamed it would be?
I bet you also have a nasty voice that tells you you are "Not Enough."
My dear, you are enough. More than enough - You are Enough Already!
All those doubts and insecurities? They're just stories we tell ourselves. And they hold us back from living the life we crave.
Maybe you don't feel brave enough to walk away from your soul-sucking job.
Maybe you don't feel talented enough to start your own business.
Maybe you feel like you don't have enough money to take your dream vacation to Paris.
Maybe you don't feel empowered to leave that dead-end relationship.
Or maybe you just feel like there's not enough time in the day to start taking the steps toward the life you've envisioned for yourself.
It's time to say, "Enough Already." You can live the life you dream of. It's all about identifying and slaying those Not Enough thoughts and feelings.
I'll show you how!
Enough Already is an online program I'm creating.
Sign up now to be the first to know when registration opens.
enough already will teach you how to slay those "Not enough" thoughts.
Then we'll RE-IMAGINE our BIG ideas and dreams - I call them yearnings - knowing we are Enough Already.
We'll take action with our Enough Already-self that is empowered and free to create and manifest what we dream of and yearn for.
Do you have BIG dreams?
I've always had BIG dreams and goals, but as hard as I tried, I couldn't seem to make some of them happen.
I had plenty of "Not Enough" thoughts and feelings.
A few years ago I said, Enough Already! I was sick and tired of living a life that is less than what I could imagine for myself.
I had gotten seriously derailed. No job, no home of my own, very little in my bank account. It was a 'dark night of the soul' to be sure.
I was a Life Coach. I had to figure this out.
I said, Enough Already!
I slayed the thoughts that told me I was "Not Enough." I re-imagined my yearnings and dreams, then created a life that is aligned with my yearnings!
I did the work. And you can too.
I kicked the thoughts and feelings that told me I was Not Enough to the curb.
I found the part of me that knew I was Enough Already.
Then I re-imagined and lit a fire under my yearnings and dreams.
My life has never been the same.
If you're ready to say, Enough Already, this program is for you. I'll take you on your personal journey to reimagine your dreams, tap into your deepest yearning and slay your Not Enough thoughts and feelings.
This is real work. It's not for sissies. Enough Already is for freedom-seekers. If you're ready to dig deep and take all the power out of Not Enough, to live in the freedom and creative genius of knowing you are Enough Already, this program is for you.

Guerilla Coffee sells great tasting coffee uniquely roasted so that it's dead easy for anyone to brew at home. Oh and free shipping on any order, because we know how lazy we can get when it's time to buy coffee!
Quality & Freshness. Unfortunately only a taste test will prove that you. So take a leap of faith with us, we're confident you'll be pleasantly surprised.
We currently roast weekly on Wednesday. Packing delivery happens over the next few days after and we'll pop it in the local Singapore mail right after. Your fresh coffee will reach you within a week's time of it's roasting.
1) Freshness - Great coffee loses its greatness very quickly. A regular subscription ensures you get your coffee in a timely manner at it's peak quality.
2) Laziness - We know that you hate to run out of coffee and hate to do that 'last minute' dash to get coffee, especially in the early morning. Or the detour in rush hour after work to the Supermarket. Those inconveniences suck so here we are, offering the easiest, most brainless way to be lazy.
Yes. At anytime except the day that we roast (every Wednesday). Please place your order by 5pm on Tuesday. Do it in your accounts section. Or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for anything else.
Coffees can stay fresh for about a year
WRONG!! It only lasts for about about two months!
Coffee get's stale after two months. All the fireworks of aromas and kaleidoscope of flavours escape will inexorably find their way out of the roasted bean. This process speeds up exponentially once the coffee is ground. What remains is a muted and general idea of coffee that was good. Don't be lazy, we roast weekly so that you get your coffee at peak flavour!
Dark roasted coffees are the bomb!
Dark roasted coffees tend to mask flavours and impart smoky ones.
Most dark roasted coffees also roast away their unique flavours. Oils also form faster on the surface of the bean. It looks great but faster oxidation of these oils will lead to rancid flavours.
Light roasted coffees are "sour", too light and not "strong enough"
Yes a lot of great coffees are guilty of being under-roasted. Acidity overpowers the coffee and unbalances an otherwise great cup. Here at Guerilla Coffee we've found a secret sweet spot between light and dark roast. Yes it takes precision and patience but we've found a way to roast our coffees to develop the acidity further to balance with increased body sweetness. Roasting this way also keeps away the smoky flavours and retains the original flavours and aromas of the coffee.
Yes I can brew like a champ!
No you can't! But you can brew almost like one!
Guerilla coffee has a special roasting style that will greatly help you to brew coffees so that the coffees are well extracted, taste great and ticks all the right boxes. However to get the best out of it you'll have to learn some finer points in brewing coffee! We've also got a simple brew guide coming soon and there are tons of brewing tips everywhere online so do experiment and get brewing!

cup of coffee. I've experienced it and hope that
I can now share it with everyone."

This is a potential NQR buglet or naturally occurring feature/limitation of the program which might surprise or confuse some users. (v2.0.02 compiled for Debian x86-64.)
If I wanted, for instance, two MultiReverb.csd files running at once, so I could patch them in series or in some other way, I can open one File > Examples, and then open another in the same way. There are now two such files of the same name in the top pane. I can make one or the other play OK.
Looking at the patcher there is only one item "MultiVerb". There is only one GUI window, with Size, Mix etc. knobs. When I play the left .csd it runs fine. When I play the right one, it stops the left one, reloads the GUI window with its own knob settings, and plays OK. However, I can't make them both play at the same time, or arrange them separately in the patcher.
If I delete the one "plugin" in the patcher, none remain there. One is reinstated if I play one of the .csd files.
I think it would be a common desire to have two or more instances of a given .csd file (plugin) in the same patch. The next message concerns something which relates to this: any change to the text of the .csd file in the editor causing the file on disk to be written when the Play button is pressed.
Of course you're right. I'll try to sort this out asap. Along with the rest of the reports you posted. Thanks for these. These little things often slip under the radar, but must drive new users mad!
This one involves a fair bit of reconstruction. I inadvertently backed myself into a corner in how I implemented it previously. Have a solution, but need a little time to work it in.
I just pushed through some changes to the master branch. It should allow as many instances of an instrument in the graph as one likes. But it needs testing.. feel free to build and give it a whirl.
Just built from sources on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), I've the following:Loading two (even three) istances of the same file in the patcher works with te following:
the csd GUI doesen't have the dimensions declared in the form (see picture attched) the guis should be 950 by 180 but looks more like 400 by 300
saving the patch, restarting cabbage and opening it shows the same behaviour (closed tabs, wrong size,..)
Great. Thanks for testing this. It really needed some!
I think you may be able to build as normal user if you chmod the files in the repo? I think I may have accidentally pushed through some mode changes? Can you try and let me know?
Hi Stefano. I push through some fixes just now. Would you mind rebuilding and testing? My simple tests here passed, but I didn't have time to really push it..
Unfortunately still problems for me:- authorization issue: tried some chmod (even chmod -R 777 ~/cabbage-2.0.02 on the entire code directory) but to have it compiled and installed i need to be sudo.- window for plugin gui is the correct size but only a portion of it is displayed, the rest is black, small GUIs are displayed correctly (seems that there is a limit somewere)- code windows can not be closed and single effects started/stopped (maybe is meant to be so)- if i remove an effect from the patcher the code window remain open (see above point)
Thanks. I'll keep working on it.
[edit] I've not had a free moment to look at this yet. It's exam time here and I'm up to my eyes in correcting. Hopefully I'll get a chance towards the end of next week at some point.
waiting is not a problem
Actually, this makes sense, as it now installs to system folders, in line with regular Linux software. Sorry, that's the reason there. I would like to eventually have a Debian based package installer for Cabbage so I think it's probably good to start having the local install script put it in places one might expect to find software and libraries.
Should be fixed now.
Not sure I follow. I can close any code editor windows by hitting the red X?
I'm not sure what the expected behaviour should be here. Should we assume that if a user removes the node from the graph that we also close the corresponding source code? Or perhaps a user wishes to remove the node but continue working on the code? I think not closing the source by default is the lesser of two evils?
I'll try the new version hopefully soon.
I didn't noticed files where installed system wise, silly me.
Yes the red X, maybe was mine installation
I'm not sure either, so for me the lesser of two evils or the easier path, whichever occurs first.

Cyber Monday 2013 Sales and Deals:
Cyber Monday 2013 is on December 2nd, but the Cyber Monday sales are already starting on the weekend. Most Cyber Monday 2013 sales launch on Sunday. Cyber Monday 2013 is expected to be the biggest online sales day of the year with sales of $2.2 billion. Of course it makes sense to shop already on Thanksgiving Day the online Black Friday 2013 Sales, as several deals will be much better than on Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday will though also have great deals again as this day is become crucial for online stores. See the latest Cyber Monday 2013 News.
Cyber Monday, a term coined by Shop.org in 2005, got established when retailers saw a trend of consumers shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Today, Cyber Monday is viewed as the online equivalent to Black Friday. Cyber Monday 2013 is expected to a huge sales day again this year - most likely the biggest.

I have compiled a list below of the best video projectors you can own based on my own experience and reading the best video projector reviews.
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350
The Epson PowerLite 8350 projector is from my point of view one of the top video projectors in 2019. This is a projector capable of showing you Full HD 1080p images. The details of the picture are very clear thanks to the 50.000 to 1 contrast ratio, which is very impressive if I might add. The colors also seem exactly like in real life because of the 2000 lumens color brightness, which means that regardelss of the room`s light conditions the colors reamain perfect.

Try your own too." Lisa Evans
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 705
Using the Epson PowerLite 705 for movies and games is ideal and you would be very pleased by its 720p HD video capabilities.

In Focus Work Big IN2102EP Projector

The lamp life is also above avarage lasting up to 3000 hours of projecting. In a room with normal light its 800×600 SVGA resolution will display the colors in a very good way with a clear detail, as well. The best video projector reviews recommend this as I do too for those who are just getting the feel of a device like this.

It is a matter of pride that in J&K two AIIMS like institutions are going to come up. The legacy and the value that it will add to the existing healthcare infrastructure makes it a momentous phase.It is important to think big and act big. Building AIIMS-like institutions in Jammu and Kashmir is undoubtedly a great initiative. These would help provide the latest medical facilities to common citizens at their doorstep. They would not have to rush to Chandigarh, Amritsar or Delhi for treatment of serious ailments. That the proposed institutes of higher learning and services would be a little away from winter and summer capitals, which have comparatively better Government and private amenities, is a thoughtful decision. The one at Awantipora in Pulwama district of the Valley would provide the population of south Kashmir quick access to ultramodern care. Likewise the other in Samba would bridge the existing gap in the Jammu region. A sum of Rs 3000 crore has been allocated for the construction of these institutes. Gradually similar institutes could be built in other parts of the State including the Ladakh region. The job should be taken on a priority. It is equally relevant to remember that an institution is as good as the people running it. Huge infrastructure has to be run by public-spirited men of talent and vision and they should be selected with proper care and scrutiny. It is important to provide right mentors so that they could be the best in the country.
However, any comparison with AIIMS New Delhi is misplaced at this stage. AIIMS New Delhi is a saga of hard work. It has earned its current status and reputation on the strength of its faculty and professional management.
It is imperative to understand the hard work and commitment that has gone into raising AIIMS New Delhi to the present level. Indeed, it is credible that it has maintained its zeal for research for the sake of achieving its excellence. Its name evokes global respect. One has to see to believe how its staff — both academic and non-academic — burns midnight oil to ensure timely delivery of services. Many doctors from the State who have served short stints at AIIMS would vouch for this. Millions have received quality healthcare over the last five decades and have invariably given a good chit — a matter of immense satisfaction for any institution. Primarily the credit goes to the faculty and other staff for carrying out sustained quest for excellence. The political leadership too deserves kudos. Jawahar Lal Nehru had thought about a medical institute par excellence as one of the temples of modern India. His Health Minister Rajkumari Amrit Kaur took over this challenge and the foundation of AIIMS was laid with the clear mandate that it would be an institute of global repute — a cradle for medical research and training. She was the first chairperson of the Institute of which the earlier years bear a stamp of her selfless service. To the credit of political parties that came to power at the Centre subsequently they showed keen interest in maintaining its high standard.
The current enthusiasm of spreading "AIIMS-like" organisations all over the country is in tune with the existing realities. First, the country has the necessary resources to steadily achieve the objective. Secondly, there is realisation on the part of everyone concerned that the benefit of medical advancement has to be shared with the people at large. Sustained effort is the key to success. AIIMS has set a pace for others to emulate. It leads with more than 2000 research publications by the faculty and researchers in a year. It enjoys autonomy including in planning curriculum, selects the best students of the country and trains also those from friendly neighbouring countries. Small class size, excellent library facilities, liberal clinically oriented teaching and research exposure are its other strong points. Relevant systems and processes have been firmly established to attain thetrinity of Mission of AIIMS which is Training, Patient care and Research.
The existing Medical colleges in the state are doing an excellent job but we can't draw any comparison with AIIMS and I think that is not your intention either. Our State has produced brilliant medical practitioners and administrators who have excelled not only in the country but across the globe. As a State subject, I too share this pride. It is a pity that most of them have found their worth outside because they believed in themselves.Our colleges have adequate infrastructure and facilities. It seems nevertheless that their hospitals are being overburdened with heavy rush of patients. That is a different subject. We need to usher in our colleges the capacity to think global. For this it is necessary that there is serious academic interaction at various levels: (a) among teachers; (b) between teachers and students; and (c) between teachers and students together on one side and highly qualified professionals from outside on the other. It has to be a constant exercise. In case of a seriously ill patient, such interactions should go on till a cure is found. It may require the availability of the latest equipment which must be ensured. This will provide the requisite practical experience. Infrastructure, human resources and equipment are three pillars on which an institute stands. All of them should be all the time honed to keep pace with the fast-moving times. There is no full stop in this regard.
Mentoring of AIIMS in J&K is of paramount importance. Selecting and nurturing the proper human resource is a Herculean task.It concerns faculty development which is an essential component of reforming curriculum. A student learns what a teacher practices and not just what a teacher teaches. That explains the crucial role of mentors whose grasp of the subject, knowledge of the current developments in their field and experience hold the key to the faculty capacity building. They have to steer away from the conventional track of traditional and rigid methodology to remain in touch with the latest developments and explore new avenues. In fact, this is applicable to all in the medical sphere. They are dealing with human lives and their confidence born of genuine ability serves the cause of humanity. To ensure the healthy quality of human resource I may venture to suggest the following measures to be taken with respect to AIIMS-like institutions in Jammu and Kashmir:
a) At the recruitment stage the experts from existing autonomous institutes of excellence in the country should constitute selection committees;
b) After selection the recruits should be trained under the mentorship of selected doctors from respective specialties;
c) Doctors from the institutes like AIIMS, New Delhi and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, should be sent on deputation to oversee the incubation period of various departments and their faculty;
d) Faculty from AIIMS, New Delhi and PGIMER, Chandigarh should be sent on 3 to 5 years' deputation to establish department and create same working culture and they should be paid a dignified deputation allowance. While on deputation they should be allowed to maintain liaison with the parent institute and their research activities should go on unhindered. This would help evolve a work culture and ethos apart from augmenting skill base;
e) The faculty should also have the option to retire from parent organization and take on the challenge of establishing a startup organization.
f) The training calendar should have common entrance test, common curriculum, and uniformity in training calendar and student exchange programmes.
g) There should be common capacity building programmes for faculty and the same can be carried out centrally at Dr K L Wig CMET (Centre for Medical Education and Training), AIIMS, New Delhi. This can also be extended to residents, nurses and other paramedics;
h) There should be provision of joint research programmes and multicentric studies;
i) Besides AIIMS and PGI, the institutes like JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry), Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow and NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences), Bengaluru, could be asked to extend the benefit of their advice from time to time;
j) The use of 'telemedicine' to conduct lectures, seminars to impart training to doctors and webinars to update on the existing scenario should be planned; and
k) 'Centre of Excellence' for clinical and scientific research should be developed for the benefit ofskilled professionals.
If developed in a planned manner the two AIIMS-like institutes in the State would gain in stature and reputation. The Government has supported the growth and mentoring of institutes. Jammu and Kashmir could also benefit from this. It always pays to be mentored by those better qualified and more experienced. The two institutes would open the floodgates of medical knowledge in the State.

So new Prime Minister, new knee-jerk reactions to education policy. In a move that will delight the right of the Tory party and the Mail, Express and Telegraph readers, the idea of lifting the ban on selective grammar schools, set into law by Tony Blair's government in 1998, is being floated.
Indicative of Mrs May's speech as she entered Downing Street last month, this is all under the guise of social mobility for those from more deprived backgrounds. Obviously this is a laudable aim and coming from an ex-grammar school girl adds extra credence to the argument.
There are the usual arguments about labelling children at 10 or 11 years old and, listening to the ultra-comprehensive types, discarding children at such a young age. This of course depends on the quality of schooling those that do not pass the 11+ (or whatever they decide to call the entrance exam) would receive. I don't for one minute think that the secondary modern sink schools that pupils that failed the 11+ usually had to go to would be tolerated in the current educational and political climate. However I'd like to float a couple of other suggestions, based not on knee-jerk reactions or ingrained contempt for an idea, but on hard facts and research, as to why grammar schools may not be the answer to improving social mobility.
The pro-grammar school group say that grammar schools are the answer to elitism. In other words it gives those from a more deprived background a better opportunity than the current comprehensive system. However research by the Sutton Trust refutes this fact. Comparing the areas where grammar schools are still in existence with other state schools it has found that only 3% of entrants to grammar schools are entitled to free school meals – the indicator used to determine the pupil premium – as opposed to 18% for your average comprehensive school. Also four times as many entrants to grammar schools came from independent schools. In other words those from more deprived homes struggle to even get accepted to grammar schools and often grammar schools are used by those who would normally use independent schools as a cheaper alternative. Factor in those from more affluent backgrounds also have the means to 'coach' their children to pass the entrance exams (for example paying for private tuition) and the social mobility argument looks pretty weak.
The other big argument used is that outcomes for pupils are better for those who attend grammar schools than those who are comprehensively educated. Again, this has a very weak if not existence basis in fact and is more anecdotal in nature. To dispel this myth consider Kent and Medway, one area which has grammar schools. The graph below paints an interesting picture and shows GCSE performance against deprivation index. It shows the GCSE performance of pupils in selective Kent and Medway, those in London and those in other schools excluding Kent, Medway and London. The further left you go, the more deprived an area the pupil comes from.
The key points from this graph are:
1. Those from deprived areas fare worse in selective Kent and Medway than in other schools in England and in fact those in London do best of all.
2. Apart from the least deprived areas, selective Kent and Medway pupils fair worse than schools in England in general.
3. In EVERY area – from most deprived to least deprived – educational outcomes are best in London than anywhere else in the country – including selective Kent and Medway.
This graph blows out of the water the argument that selective education works for those from deprived backgrounds, but for me as a practising teacher and supporter of the Yorkshire Party the biggest conclusion to draw from this comes from the London trend. In an area which, fifteen years ago was the educational basket case of English schools, London now has the best educational outcomes for ALL pupils IRRESPECTIVE OF BACKGROUND. Why is this? It has to be the effects of the London challenge, which I've written about before. This approach to educational improvement is of course a central policy for the Yorkshire Party – one that appeared in our manifesto last year and has been taken up (though of course they don't ascribe this to us in the Yorkshire Party) by the Yorkshire Post.
To me, the answer to improving educational outcomes for pupils from ALL backgrounds isn't resorting to an educational approach from the 1950s which works for a few but not the many, but by adopting regional challenges akin to the one which has transformed London schools. Of course this is just a theory backed up by hard evidence and years of examination performance data and not a knee-jerk reaction which will gain approving nods from the Daily Mail. So based on past experience I'm not convinced Mrs May et al will take it on because our politicians much prefer exciting and controversial knee-jerk reactions rather than the more mundane ones that actually have a basis in evidence and research. If I was to be sceptical of the governments motives, which of course I would never dream of, I'd be thinking this big policy change was nothing really to do with improving the social mobility of those from the most deprived backgrounds and more to do with providing cheap (free) private-style education for the squeezed middle class the Tories are trying to entice. I can say that but of course Mrs May and Ms Greening couldn't possibly comment!

The Topeka West Rotary Club held its first Grocery Grab fundraising event on April 28th at the Topeka Hy-Vee store and it was our most successful fundraiser to date. The Club spent six weeks selling tickets, both at the store and to companies and other individuals prior to the event. Total ticket sales went very well, particularly for our first try for this type of event.
The Club wants to thank Ed Coulter, with the Shawnee Mission Rotary Club, for his guidance and sharing of information regarding his Club's Grocery Grabs. A great example of Clubs working together to achieve common goals. The net funds raised will be used to purchase dictionaries for third grade students and teachers in eleven area elementary schools and for grants to local charities.
The Club donated $150 for hygiene kits in support of the Celebration of 30 Years of Women in Rotary and contributed $100 to the Public Image campaign that District 5710 is conducting in collaboration with Districts 5670, 6040 and 5690.
Our members answered the challenge to achieve Star Club status again this year by obtaining the minimum average donation of $100 per member to The Foundation. Pledges have also been made by members for additional donations that will place us beyond the minimum per member.

December, 2017
It was another busy month for the members of the Topeka West Rotary Club. This was the 12th consecutive year the Club has ordered and delivered dictionaries to all third-grade students and teachers in eleven area schools for a total of over 700 dictionaries. The children are always very excited to receive the dictionaries, as for some, it is the first book they have ever owned. The teachers are greatful as well and use information in the back of the dictionaries for additional class studies. The dictionaries were purchased in part from the Star Club grant received this year.
The Club welcomed its newest member in November. Victoria Watkins is a chemist for the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Victoria was actually a guest speaker earlier this year, addressing the topic of Chemist Without Borders and the work the organization is conducting in Bangladesh to provide clean and safe drinking water for the people in a test area in that country. Victoria enjoyed our Club members so much that she continued to attend our meetings regularly and later decided to join our Club.
Club officers lead discussions during our Assembly Meeting on November 15th. Reports were presented by the Club's Treasurer, and Committee Chairs of the Foundation, Membership, Programs and Social Events, Fundraising and Nominating Committees.
Guest speakers included: Rick Randolph - Rotary Tree Planting Program; John Muglar, CEO or the YMCA; and Joy Wheeler, CEO of the Girls Scouts NE Kansas and NW Missouri area.
Topeka West Rotary members delivered dictionaries to 3rd grade students at nine schools. This is the sixth year Topeka West has distributed dictionaries to area schools.

On August 30th, District Governor, Adam Ehlert, visited the Club and talked about why he became both interested and active in Rotary and also shared many of his experiences as a Rotarian to include his trip to Finland. He challenged the TWR Club members as well as all members throughout the District to donate at least $5.00 per member to the relief efforts in Texas and Louisiana. The TWR members gave an average of over $10.00 per member.
The TWR joined all of the Topeka area Rotary Clubs and the Holton Rotary Club in sponsoring a welcome reception for Adam on August 31st. It was well attended and Adam again urged all of the Club members to donate to the hurricane relief efforts.
Victoria Watkins, a chemist for the state of Kansas, addressed the group in September regarding the Chemists Without Borders organization that is currently conducting experimental tests in Bangladesh to help provide clean and safe drinking water for that country. Early results appear promising with more work yet to be done.
Brett Ballard, a former KU basketball player who played on the 2002 final-four team, spoke to the Club about his philosophies not only regarding coaching basketball, but also trying to create an environment which encourages the players to be responsible citizens, both now and in the future.
The Club also had its monthly Assembly meeting. The members continued to discuss ideas for this year's fundraiser and decided to purchase dictionaries again this year to be distributed to third graders in eleven different elementary schools in Topeka. This project has been well received by both the students and the teachers for over ten years.

It was another busy month for the Topeka West Rotary Club. Club members voted to fund a Shelter Box again this year, sending $1,000 to Shelter Box USA. Bob Mackey reported the Shelter Box was displayed at the PETS meeting this year and it's easy to visualize how a Shelter Box gives great relief to those experiencing a disaster or humanitarian crisis throughout the world.
The TWR achieved Star Club status this past year and has already applied for a community project grant to provide dictionaries to third-grade classes in 11 elementary schools this fall. The Club has provided the dictionaries to schools for several years and we always receive thank you notes from both the students and teachers expressing their appreciation.
After 40 years of service to the TWR Club and the community, Bill Nace decided to retire as a long valued member. The Club held a special celebration for Bill during our meeting on August 23rd to thank him for his commitment and dedication to the Club. Bill was presented with a Certificate of Achievement and Service Award and was encouraged to join us at any of our meetings in the future.
The Club also held an Assembly meeting on the 23rd and received reports from committee chairs. A new event for a fundraiser is being researched and more information will be presented to the Club in the coming weeks. The Membership Committee is reviewing the Club's past efforts to obtain new members and will schedule a formal meeting soon to discuss additional efforts. Financial reports were also shared with Club members. TWR is also jointly sponsoring an All Topeka and Holton Club Social for District Governor, Adam Ehlert, at the Topeka Civic Theatre from 5:30 - 7:30 pm.
Among our guest speakers this month, were Erik Karre, Assistant District Governor - Area #5, who provided helpful comments about acquiring new members and retaining existing members, and U.S. Marshall, Ron Miller, addressed the group and presented a history of the Marshall's office in Kansas beginning with Wyatt Earp to discussing the responsibilities of today's Marshall. On August 30th, we are very much looking forward to having District Governor Adam Ehlert as our guest speaker.

Having tried out Simplicity 4277 view c in some inexpensive leafy cotton fabric I wasn't very happy with the fit of the sleeves (they weren't full enough so ended up quite tight round my arms at the bottom) so on that basis I scrapped that attempt and decided to make up view d (without sleeves).
This time in a checked seersucker fabric with two shades of ric rac trimming.
This is the finished top, it needs to be washed and ironed to stop the hem from sticking out (and apologies for the poor quality image – tried out a new camera not very successfully). Anyway, altogether I am quite pleased with this I just hope we have some sunshine now or I'll be wearing it with a cardigan!

I walked down Hollywood Boulevard through an amazing rainstorm on Tuesday, to meet up with a guy selling me tickets to see Bob Dylan on Friday.
We met at Musso and Frank's, as old school a hot meal watering hole as there is. I had a fantastic Pork Chop. The waiter told me it would take 20 minutes, so I orderd the French Onion soup. The ticket man arrived, carrying a copy of Reason Magazine. I didn't have a copy of Coagula for him, but he told me that he had read it already.
I've been inundated with freelance jobs lately, so I haven't had time to ponder the meaning of art and life.
But here is a link to the long-promised photo of myself, a friend and Charles Bukowski. This was taken after about 20 Heinekens.

This is Mrs. Carol Van Sant, long-time resident of Stepford, Connecticut, and dedicated wife to my precious husband, Mr. Ted Van Sant. You may have heard a little squawk about the Stepford community from those mean-spirited movies, suggesting that we Stepford wives are oppressed robots. My heavens! Don't pay any attention to those rumors.
Anywho, I am here to speak out against something that has been plaguing the media recently. There is a hullabaloo about this Ocean's 8 movie and an all-female cast. I have educated myself (via my rightfully concerned husband) on this woman actor business and the stress it has caused.
Calm down my dears! I've figured out how to stomach this movie.
See, if you put little mustaches on all the women, you no longer have to endure these lady actors. This trick makes them into real actors; they become male! The Stepford community developed this after realizing how difficult it was to find movies with an all-male cast.
You know what really gets my goat? These women actors taking up all this space, time, and money, just to deliver a movie that's already been made. Ocean's 11 was just fine and dandy the way it was first created; that talented Frank Sinatra perfected it in 1960. I mean, if they're going to be copycats, why not keep re-doing those reality series on housewives? At least they're helpful to other women; they make my Valium-popping look like an innocent dose of Tic-Tacs.
Women actors must face reality: everything they do is garbage. And what does any civilized person do with garbage? Get rid of it! Lady actors, let the experts continue doing what they do best. Save your acting for the headaches when you crawl into bed or your feigned sobriety. Besides, your assumed 2.5 offspring from a heteronormative union need you at home!
The only times critics should approve of female actresses is when they're pretty and don't talk much. Oh! You know what woman actor I really like? I think you'll like her too: Lillian Gish. She was very popular in the silent movie era. She's probably the only woman actor that hasn't given me a vocal fry headache.
Honestly though, I can't think of a movie with an all-female cast that is worth the overpriced popcorn.
Oh, except Fried Green Tomatoes.
And the Sister Act movies.
Oh, and Calendar Girls.
Don't go near that Thelma and Louise movie though, what a disaster. I had the darndest time keeping little mustaches on those women during that Grand Canyon scene. And did I ever get a well-deserved scolding from Mr. Van Sant for exposing myself to those bra-burning butches. He thinks such movies could brainwash me—could you imagine that he thinks there's such a thing as brainwashing?
Sometimes I get so frustrated by these discussions. Mr. Van Sant says that Midol helps women stave off the devil's visits before menstruation, but my neighbor, Mrs. Van Tramp, says Valium does the trick—for once, a woman was right! Mr. Van Sant is always willing to guide me in dark times. He reminds me that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Our differences are vast and this is why the glass ceiling is so important! I can't imagine being burdened with the same opportunities that men face. Thank you, patriarchy, for restricting women to low pay and dead-end jobs.
Now, to help settle your hysterical brain about these female actors, I suggest you go home to your men and watch one of those nice Hangover movies. There's at least two of these Hangover movies and they are just wonderful. Or at least that's what Mr. Van Sant keeps saying. You may fall asleep in the middle of the second (or…third?) movie, or you may be overcome with a recurrent nightmare sensation while watching them. But I hear that's how you know it's good cinema.
The point remains that women actors have yet to prove themselves in Hollywood; acting in daily life is where the talents need to be preserved. I don't know how their success is calculated by the male-dominated media. But you know how women and math are.
So don't worry your pretty little head about it. Just keep booing everything women do until the menfolk tell you otherwise. Now, how about some Ovaltine? I promise to put a touch of my Valium elixir in it to calm any nerves this topic may have caused you, you poor, fragile thing.

CAMPAIGNERS are calling for a radical new approach to treatment of drug addicts in a bid to reduce the number of lives being lost.
The Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) wants addicts to be prescribed heroin, as the most recent figures show the number of drug deaths in both Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire is on the rise.
Over the past decade, drug fatalities in Renfrewshire have almost doubled, with East Renfrewshire's total up by a third.
The annual average for Renfrewshire has risen from 15 to 28, while East Renfrewshire's figure has jumped from three to five.
Across Scotland as a whole, a total of 934 drug-related deaths were recorded last year. This represents the highest total since statistics began in 1996.
And experts at the SDF, which describes itself as "an independent centre of expertise on drug use and drug problems," have warned the total will "almost certainly" top 1,000 in 2018.
Now the group has launched a new campaign – #StopTheDeaths – to raise awareness of the increasing toll of deaths from drug abuse.
David Liddell, SDF chief executive, said: "From speaking to our members across Scotland, it is clear that the number of drug-related deaths continues to rise at what now seems an exponential rate.
"This means that, in 2018, Scotland will almost certainly suffer over 1,000 preventable overdose deaths."
He said the #StopTheDeaths campaign, which will provide free courses allowing people to recognise and reverse an opiate overdose, was "a call to refocus our actions and to draw attention to evidence-based approaches and protective factors that can be deployed now."
Mr Liddell added: "These include improving access to take-home naloxone, ensuring people have swift access to, and are retained in, treatment in high-quality services, and providing a range of opiate replacement therapies tailored to the needs of individuals, including heroin-assisted treatment."
Public Health Minister Joe Fitzpatrick said addressing drug-related deaths is a "priority" for the government.
He added: "That is why our new combined drug and alcohol strategy, publishing later this year, will focus on how we engage those most at risk and how services can adapt to help people most in need and best deliver support."

One day, I stayed at the house of my favorite grandma.
There was nothing wrong, just time just passed.
I thought that I was bored, I thought that I wanted to pick up a favorite song at the piano in my grandmother 's house.
I am on the second floor now, there is a piano on the first floor.
The grandmothers said that 30 minutes ago "I'm going to buy ingredients for supper a bit, so please wait."
But, the sound of the piano is on the first floor where no one should be ,,,
How about this story?

Major U.S. stock-market benchmarks closed lower on Monday, weighed by a second straight session of firm losses in technology shares, but the shift away from tech appears to be feeding recently unloved sectors and smaller-cap stocks.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.74% which hit an all-time high only to close down 1.8% on Friday, remained under pressure. Overcoming a 97-point deficit on the session, the index closed down 32.45 points, or 0.5%, at 6,175.46.
While, at first, losses in broader indexes were largely contained, the slump started spreading. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.62% finished down 2.38 points, or 0.1%, at 2,429.39, overcoming a nearly 12-point deficit earlier. Six of the benchmark's 11 sectors closed lower. The technology sector led losses, down 0.8%, while energy shares were up 0.7% and telecom stocks rose 0.9%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.25% snapped three days of gains to close down 36.30 points, or 0.2%, at 21,235.67, as losses in shares of Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.49% and McDonald's Corp. MCD, -0.94% offset gains from shares of General Electric Co. GE, -0.20% and Chevron Corp. CVX, +0.29%
Friday's tech selloff wasn't surprising given how sharply these shares rallied over the past 12 months, said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at Voya Financial.
"It could be a little concerning, because just as the tech has been leading the market on the upside, they can lead the market down as well," Cavanaugh said. "However, tech earnings have been particularly strong and given improving fundamentals, any swoon should be a buying opportunity for investors," she added.
While there's a lot of focus on the tech selloff, Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group, sees what's going on in the market as more of a rotation.
"Last week we had a big selloff in tech and a bigger rally in financials and energy," Stone said. "Some of these momentum stocks have given up for now, but everything needs a breather." While tech shares on the S&P 500 are down 1.7% for the month of June so far, financials are up 4.6% over the same period and energy shares are up 2.2%.
And that rotation isn't just limited to large caps, recently battered small-to-mid caps are starting to get some love too, Stone said. While the S&P 500 is up 0.4% for June, the Russell 2000 RUT, -0.50% and the S&P Small Cap 600 SML, -0.24% are both up 3.6%.
On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.8%, with its sharp pullback coming after big recent gains for heavyweight tech stocks. The selloff also followed a warning from Goldman Sachs analysts that high-fliers such as Facebook Inc. FB, -1.21% Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -0.68% Apple, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.15% and Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOG, -1.42% GOOGL, -1.37% may be overextended. Meanwhile, shares of Netflix Inc. NFLX, -3.11% slipped into correction territory. But not all tech stocks were getting caught up in the selloff.

Individual movers: Shares in Apple finished down 2.5% following a downgrade to neutral from buy by Mizuho Securities analysts. Still, Apple shares are up 25% year to date, compared with 8.5% for the S&P 500.
It is the second time in a week that the iPhone maker has been downgraded, with the more bearish view once again stemming from concerns that optimism over the iPhone 8 has been baked into the stock.
On the upside, General Electric Co.'s shares GE, -0.20% finished up 3.6% following news that CEO Jeff Immelt is retiring after nearly 16 years at the helm of the company and will be replaced by John Flannery, currently president and CEO of GE Healthcare.
Apparel stocks were some of the best performers Monday, with shares of Under Armour Inc. UA, +0.17% UAA, -0.07% leading the S&P 500 with a 5% gain. Hanesbrands Inc. HBI, +0.43% shares rose 3.4%, while shares of Nike Inc. NKE, -1.02% advanced 1.1%.
Other markets: European equities SXXP, +0.12% pulled back, and Asian markets closed with losses, as the tech selloff spread to exchanges there. Oil futures US:CLN7 rose 0.6% to settle at $46.08 a barrel, while gold futures US:GCQ7 declined 0.2% to settle at $1,268.90 an ounce, and a key dollar index DXY, +0.29% traded flat. Treasury yields inched higher, with the 10-year yield TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.00% up a basis point at 2.21%.
