The difference between NeedleArts is the backing one works on whether it be fabric or canvas. Any stitch can be duplicated in all the different NeedleArts. My theory is there are only 2 stitches, a long one and a short one. If you stitch them vertical or horizontal or at a slant, it is the same stitch just named differently. I teach multiple stitches for any NeedleArt canvas whether it be needlepoint, embroidery, cross stitch or counted cross stitch. I took up needlepoint in the late 60s.

This is very weird and for this so called Lagos Big Boy to be walking the streets with girls chained like dogs show the kind of lawless society we are in. This is against the law and i don't care what you call it, it is slavery and as such he should not be seen chaining girls like this and doing it overtly.
I mean whoever says money doesn't intoxicate should see these pictures and even watch the video. He was seen leading his two girls in chains to a wedding ceremony #KBABS2017 today. This time around, he lead them in with a more befitting chain or should we say pretty dog leash around their necks.

Srinagar: Srinagar has been turned into a garrison with multiple security check posts set up on all important locations while the roads leading to Sher-i-Kashmir Cricket Stadium have been completely sealed ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Valley on November 7 (Saturday). All the link roads near Cricket Stadium have been closed and barricades and barbed wires have been placed in other sensitive areas across Srinagar city. Skeletal vehicular movement was observed on the uptown roads though no separatist organization had called for any strike on Friday. Separatist had called for Jamia Masjid march prompting authorities to impose curfew in the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Police station Khanyar, Nowhatta, Rainawari, Safakadal, MR Gunj and Maisuma. Roads wore a deserted look in old Srinagar city where only government forces were seen deploying in strength on roads. In uptown especially in City Centre Lal Chowk and its adjacent areas, people were thoroughly frisked at the check points created at different intersections. Sources told CNS that almost all the schools in Srinagar city have decided to close their institutions on Saturday keeping in view the activities of the men in uniform. "We cannot take chances especially with the kids because the situation has become so frightening by the increased activities of the men in uniform so we have conveyed the parents not to send their wards to school on Saturday," a Srinagar based school owner told CNS. Though there will be no official holiday on Saturday yet according to reports normal life is likely to get affected and crippled in wake of Modi's visit. Lal Chowk, the business hub in the the summer capital is witnessing extra security arrangements and the presence of forces on various vital link roads is exhibiting the scenes of 1990's when militancy was at its peak in valley. The high security arrangements ahead of Modi's visit are being taken in view of the series of recent militant attacks carried in various parts of Kashmir valley. Reports said that to give final shape to Modi's rally in Srinagar, BJP big wigs have already arrived in Valley. Staying in a luxurious five star hotel here, the BJP top leadership including Modi's close aide Ram Madahv is camping in valley since last week. Madhav is accompanied by other BJP workers who worked for the party during Bihar polls. Modi who is arriving today (Saturday) in Srinagar will address a public rally in which BJP and PDP supporters are expected to take part in large numbers. Reports said that PDP high command while directing their party leaders to pull more and more supporters for the rally have informed them not to carry party green flags with them as according to them Modi feels uneasy with green flags in Kashmir. However, sources said that the BJP leadership had asked their supporters and party workers to carry party saffron flags with them. His visit to Kashmir comes at a time when separatists have called a 'Million March' to counter his rally. Police have already sealed TRC, the venue for Million March and according to police officials not a single person will be allowed to move towards TRC on Saturday. This will be Modi's first visit to fortified Srinagar city since his party assumed charge with the help of PDP in Jammu and Kashmir. Sharp shooters, barricades, luggage checks and more -the Indian Forces are taking no chances in Srinagar and other parts of the valley on the eve of Modi's visit. (CNS)

Welcome to Mr. Farley's Classroom PageContact Information:Name: Jacob FarleySubject(s): English IV and Coaching Football/WrestlingEmail: email@example.com: 817.232.7112Conference: 10:00-10:50 (2nd Per.)Room Number: 421
About Mr. Farley
This is Mr. Farley's third year as a pedagogue, and this is his third year at Chisholm Trail high school. He comes to us from Emporia State University (Emporia, Kansas) where he played football for the fighting Hornets and graduated with a B.A. in Education.
Having known Mr. Farley for some time now, I can honestly and accurately say that he is thoroughly delighted with his choice of becoming an educator. And furthermore, I know that I speak for Mr. Farley when I say that there is not a more life-fulfilling feeling than teaching.
For those of you who are saying to yourself, "this is probably Mr. Farley writing this..." I must congratulate you on having an unerring sense of direction. But, this is fun; let's keep going.
As one of his closest companions I have compiled a "Favorites" list, pertaining to Mr. Farley's most-liked preferences:
- Movies: He prefers any movie that has made the conscience decision to avoid Brendan Fraser, most notably Donnie Darko, High Fidelity, and Dead Poets Society.
- Books: He enjoys perusing Young Adult novels; he believes John Green is doing great things. And, Mr. Farley found the recently created trilogy, Red Rising, written by Pierce Brown to be extraordinarily pleasing. But, his all-time favorite has to be "The Catcher in the Rye."
- Poetry: Poetry, a genre that Mr. Farley approaches with a sincere interest. His favorite poets include Tim Seibles, Gary Soto, Naomi Nye, James Wright, Alan Dugan, and last, but certainly not least, Mr. Charles Simic. He has also grown quite fond of Ross Gay and Idra Novey. Be sure to check out one of Mr. Farley's favorite poems below.
- Music: Firstly, Led Zeppelin, according to Mr. Farley, is at the top of any musical rating system by a large margin. With that being said, he enjoys any and all music; especially, and indie/alternative rock (e.g. Alt-J; Sublime;Incubus; Milky Chance).Also, Mr. Farley noted that he particularly digs an artist who isn't afraid to be different, or combine genres.
Making a Fist
Naomi Shihab Nye
For the first time, on the road north of Tampico, I felt the life sliding out of me, a drum in the desert, harder and harder to hear. I was seven, I lay in the car watching palm trees swirl a sickening pattern past the glass. My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin. "How do you know if you are going to die?" I begged my mother. We had been traveling for days. With strange confidence she answered, "When you can no longer make a fist." Years later I smile to think of that journey, the borders we must cross separately, stamped with our unanswerable woes. I who did not die, who am still living, still lying in the backseat behind all my questions, clenching and opening one small hand.
- Movies: He prefers any movie that has made the conscience decision to avoid Brendan Fraser, most notably Donnie Darko, High Fidelity, and Dead Poets Society.

Consultation on the New National Health and Social Care Standards. These new Standards take a much more human-rights based approach and focus on achieving better outcomes for service users. They also help providers; planners and commissioners; and staff working across health and social care to identify and deliver more person-centred care and support.
Findings of the consultation will be available in April 2017 and will help steer implementation of the new Standards in April 2018.

Admitting that there had been several weaknesses in the government's implementation and delivery system that led to the Indian sometimes losing out in various fields, he said the party would rectify them. "There are weaknesses, but they can and will be corrected.
Some people keep on condemning the 25/11 rally as unnecessary, "not our culture", penyangak, and so many other things. Just imagine the rally never took place. Would the Indian community get any attention. Nothing much in the last 20 -30 years. But now, more airtime in news, committees set up to manage temple issues, meeting with PM, awareness on equal rights, among others have occurred. Something that the leading party had failed to highlight or do while in power. But now, claiming there is some problem with implementation. For so many years, there was no weakness/problem is it? Only now the eye can see? Looks like a jolt like the rally is indeed needed.
SAMY VELLU: My door is always open
"My door is always open," said MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to the Indians, especially to the youths and professionals.
Samy Vellu, who is also Works Minister, said he was willing to listen to any problem faced by the Indians, especially the youths. "Indian youths play a major role in ensuring unity within the community as they are a major force that will shape its future direction," he said in a statement issued here today. Appreciating the role of Indian youths as "people who have the courage and wisdom to bring changes to the community," he said the party was not making promises merely to canvas for support from the Indians.
"But MIC will strive to bring justice and fairness to them through the government by taking the necessary action," he said.
Admitting that there had been several weaknesses in the government's implementation and delivery system that led to the Indian sometimes losing out in various fields, he said the party would rectify them. "There are weaknesses, but they can and will be corrected.
"No government in the world can satisfy 100 percent the needs of their people. But what is important is to ensure that what we deserve is attained."
Samy Vellu said the party would adopt a different and more practical approach in tackling the problems of the Indians. "We have been vigorously taking the necessary steps in the last four months and we expect to see some positive results soon," he said. "We will be more open to hear their views, especially from the Indian youths."
He said Malaysian Indians needed to unite to safeguard their future in this country, adding that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had been sympathetic to their plight and had promised to address their problems.
Samy Vellu said the party which had laid a strong educational foundation for the Indian community with the creation of two institutions, namely TAFE College and the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology, was now striving to raise their economic position with several measures taken with the help of the government. "MIC has also fought hard to ensure better housing, healthcare and employment through training for the poor, especially single mothers and youths."
He said the Indian community in Malaysia should not fall into despair, adding that only the Barisan Nasional (BN) government could ensure their future. "They should not be duped by the opposition parties who only want their votes in the coming general election." However, he said, the party would work with anyone who wished to see the progress and development of the Indian community, but would fight "to the ground those who poison the minds of the Indians".

We are experts in mould treatment and prevention. Mould is now a common problem within our homes. With improved building features such as cavity wall insulation, double glazing and air tightness, 'natural ventilation' is prohibited. Stale air is trapped leading to musty smells, dampness and mould growth.
Older properties tend to suffer more than new ones due to poor insulation and cold surfaces.
The problem varies from a small patch of mould or discoloured wallpaper behind the wardrobe, in the very top corner of a bedroom, to serious amounts of mould growth across walls, ceilings, inside wardrobes and on clothes, furnishings, carpets and in basements.
It's a serious problem because of the health risks associated with mould spores. The mould fungi have been identified as the source of many health problems, including infections, asthma, allergies and sinusitis.
Moulds produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, toxins that may cause reactions in humans.
Pro-Tech - Over 30 Years Experience
Why are some properties particularly prone to the problem?
Moulds typically grow in buildings affected by high levels of humidity. This humidity may be caused by an ongoing damp issue or maybe down to the lack of ventilation in the property.
The main causes of mould:
• Wet or damp walls.
• Condensation from high relative humidity in air
• Too much water vapour or steam being generated in the property.
• Poor ventilation
• Inadequate heating
Inadequate extractors fitted in bathrooms and en suites.
Mould growth and Condensation
Mould growth is often complex and a combination of things. It is sometimes caused by inadequacies in the building but very often the main cause of mould growth is the lifestyle of the occupants.
Once the mould growth has been allowed to germinate and develope, it can reoccur again and again.
Houses have become effectively sealed boxes, keeping in any moisture produced within the house and providing ideal conditions for condensation to occur.
Ventilation is only effective if it is consistent throughout the whole envelope of the property. Condensation is encouraged by poor air circulation where stagnant air pockets form (behind furniture and in cupboards) and the first evidence is often the appearance of mould growth and a musty smell on clothes in wardrobes.
The warm moist air rises to the highest points in the property, forming condensation in those areas, which are often coldest, including bedrooms, wardrobes, bathrooms and toilets etc.
The modern life style, means that many houses remain unoccupied and unheated throughout the greater part of the day, allowing the fabric of the building to cool right down. The moisture producing activities are then concentrated into a relatively short time period, producing large amounts of steam when the building structure is still relatively cold.
Pro-Tech - Over 30 Years Experience
Installation of a Positive input Ventilation System (PIVS) in the property.
The PIVS draws fresh air into the dwelling from outside and filters it before being delivered into the property.
Moisture laden air is diluted and replaced with clean, filtered air resulting in
- Improved ventilation within the property.
- Improved heat distribution.
- Reduce Relative Humidity.
- Lower Dew point
This eliminates or reduces surface condensation, which causes mould growth, providing a significant improvement in the health of asthma sufferers and general indoor air quality.

1653. Oil on canvas. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Read Note.
Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) was born at Stagica, in Macedonia, where his father was physician to the king Amyntas II. Sent to Athens in 367, he studied under Plato for twenty years, and then, in 342, was summoned by Philip of Macedonia to be the tutor to his son, the future Alexander the Great. Seven years later he returned to Athens where he opened a school in the Lyceum, a grove outside the city. He taught there logic, ethics, metaphysics, physics, zoology, politics, rhetorics, and poetics. Transmitted through translations, his works shaped the development of medieval thought first in the Arab world, then in the Latin West, where Aristotle came to be regarded as the source of all knowledge

On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.
Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.
Check for any driver compatibility issues with:
Use the following program to monitor your hardware temperatures during the stress test:

Mahindra Electric, part of the USD 19 billion Mahindra Group and Zoomcar, India's leading car rental company, today announced the launch of a unique initiative to promote development of the sustainable mobility ecosystem in the city of Mysuru. As part of this initiative, 20 e2oPlus vehicles, Mahindra's all-electric city smart car, and two fast charging units will be deployed on the Zoomcar platform. These vehicles can be hired by residents and visitors in the city.
These vehicles are financed as a part of larger financing arrangement between Zoomcar and Mahindra Finance, which will see Zoomcar obtain customised EV financing. Mahindra Finance continues to be a preferred financier for Zoomcar & Mahindra Electric for EV financing.
This initiative is aimed at promoting connected, shared and electric mobility as a model, in line with the recommendations in the NITI Aayog report on the government's 2030 vision. Mysuru is being developed as a holistic EV ecosystem, in alignment with the Karnataka government's EV policy which envisages going beyond metros. This is the first of its kind EV policy drafted by a state in the country.
Mahindra Electric is also offering fast charging services to enhance the EV experience for Zoomcar's customers. Currently, charging units have been installed at Country Inn and Garuda Mall, which can be used by EV users. With the government's support, the plan is to have more units installed at key locations in the future. The organisations also intend to replicate this model in Chandigarh, Delhi and Hyderabad soon.

More than 150 speakers, CEOs, Heads of NGOs, political decision makers, academics, social entrepreneurs, and artists, from all over the world talk about their experience and innovative projects in the field of agriculture and food, global governance or finance at the Positive Economy event held annually in Le Havre, France and San Patrignano, Italy. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, astrophysician Hubert Reeves, navigator Ellen MacArthur, Nicolas Hulot and many more have shared with passion their commitment to a more positive society.
The Positive Economy team came to us to re-develop their website because they were eager to benefit from the sophisticated, yet extremely easy-to-use functionalities we build.
Multiple Event Management
Due to the rapid growth of the event, they needed the capacity to create an unlimited number of events. Functionally, we created a system that enables unlimited use of each page template and module for as many events as they wish – and they have complete autonomy in the process. The Positive Economy team can easily create a new event in the event category. Once they have created the event they simply assign each piece of content to that event. Once the page for an event is ready to publish they select a pre-existing template and assign an event to the template. The rest is magic – all of the content gets pulled into the right place on its own. This means they can as much content for each event as they would like at any given time.
One of the key requirements was that the site needed to be multilingual to meet the needs of the events the currently host and those they develop in the future. This means that everything on the main section of the website needed to be offered in French and English. While the website dedicated to their event in Italy needed to be offered in Italian too. While the site defaults to the English version, users can simply switch to the French version(or Italian version on certain parts of the website) by clicking on the flags in the top menu. While it is very simple for users on the front-end, we set out to make multi-lingual content management as simple as possible for their team. For example, when the Positive Economy team creates a piece of content they have a one-click solution for duplicating it into French and Italian. This means that all of the content gets pulled over, including the images and metadata. Then they can simply remove the text in their original version and place the other language content into the page. They can also translate the menus, videos, categories and tags easily so they are completely self-sufficient.
Video Library
Video content is the fuel that keeps the ecosystem running. Because of the sheer volume of videos that the Positive Economy publishes during a single event (80+) the speed of upload and simplicity of the function was extremely important. They needed to upload all of their videos from YouTube instantly each day of the event – no editing required but with the flexibility to adapt the content if they wished. From a content management standpoint we built a robust, one-click video management module.
Automatic Video Upload
The Positive Economy wanted to save time getting video content live on the website after each event. This was especially important for the video page, so we set out to build a function that automatically uploads videos from the Positive Economy Youtube channel. The video module uploads all of the videos and their details (title, description, tags, featured image, video, etc…) from their YouTube channel, then uploads them to the database and saves them each as a draft.
Homepage Video Grid
The website made use of a lot of grids for an immersive visual experience. This was especially important for the homepage, in particular the video grid at the very top of the page. We suggested building the grid with a fixed layout that pulls in new videos randomly on each page load based on a specific algorithm. To preserve a content strategy, three of the grid elements can be directly controlled by selected the precise video they would like to publish in those three spots. The speaker names and session titles automatically feed in and resize to preserve a pure visual experience.
Video Filter
A robust filter allows users to filter the results by Event, as well as by Theme. The filter plays a crucial role in helping users find relevant videos or speakers on the homepage, video or speakers libraries.
Live Streaming Pop-In
The development of the new website presented another opportunity to further ease the way in which we run events online. Our development team created a module that allows their team to publish a pop-in on any page they publish and easily embed a their livestreaming on it. The Positive Economy Team found this incredibly useful as they were able to place their livestreaming front and center on their homepage during each event – increasing the number of viewers event over event.

Government communication and information system needs surgery
It is a truism that internal and external communication is the strength of any government, corporate body or organisation. The overwhelming importance of internal and external communication is particularly beneficial to any government that intends to instil national cohesion, enhance service delivery and amplify national development plans. This primarily creates a platform for participative decision-making, citizens' interaction with the state, information sharing, creativity and innovation, as well as creates an environment that fosters productivity and a sense of ownership. The communication and information system of the Namibian government leaves much to be desired. Yes, we have a ministry of information and communication technology. We also have a plethora of spokespersons and liaison officers, from the office of the president to every ministry and state-owned enterprise. With so many spokespersons for the same government with their individual communication strategies, the articulation of government's national development plans, including the Harambee Prosperity Plan, is becoming ever more uncoordinated and at times contradictory and incoherent. Providing citizens with well-coordinated adequate information on government priorities, programmes, and activities ensures the legitimacy of government and serves to stabilize the socio-economic and political situation in any country. In contrast, when governments face a crisis of legitimacy, they become vulnerable to disruptive forces and may not be able to effectively carry out their mandates. It is in the interest of governments to communicate effectively with their constituencies on their plans and activities in professional rather than propagandist manner. As legitimate players in the evolving public spheres, governments benefit from developing and maintaining effective communication capacity with citizens, to better take stock of their needs and preferences, and to foster a more deliberative public space for multi-stakeholder participation, informed policy debate, and to develop effectiveness. There are three primary functions of government communication, namely, informing, advocating/persuading (for policies and reforms), and engaging citizens. Communication represents an important function of governments, responsible for improving three principal elements of government: effectiveness (building broad support and legitimacy for programmes and national development plans), responsiveness (knowing citizens' needs and responding to them), and accountability (explaining government stewardship and providing mechanisms to hold governments accountable). These should not be left in the hands of public media, nor should they be left in the hands of individual ministries. Uncoordinated government communication is a recipe for national communication disaster. Neglecting to provide coordinated and professional information to the public represents a serious impediment to good governance, and underscoring the benefits of improved and coordinated government communication has a strong multiplier effect. Government communication is more than just developing effective spokespersons for various ministries, it also involves the provision of customer oriented services and the building capacity for citizens to provide government with feedback regarding these services. It is more than just a crisis management tool. It is for this reason that government needs to seriously look at a comprehensive communication and information strategy that will enable it to unambiguously translate its vision, decisions and strategic objectives into reality. Uncoordinated communication from government hinders it to comprehensively translate its development plans into actionable outputs. Strategic communication has the potential to build and sustain social interaction between the state and citizens and most importantly drive a sense of delivery message to all citizens and civil servants. Effective communication and service delivery work in tandem like a hand in glove. There is need to put emphasis on development communication that places a high premium on direct dialogue between government and citizens. It is important that government transforms the current communication system that has a multitude of spokespersons and liaison officers and instead establish a department, preferably in the office of the president, which will serve as a centre for coordinating, facilitating and strategizing all government communication in order to provide a cost-effective communication service to the general public. The ministry of ICT may also be a perfect location, when thoroughly revamped for that purpose. No need to have scattered communication "experts" in each ministry – rather have all these in one place to be responsible for government communication and not ministerial communication. Such a centre should have sub-centres in each region, to be easily accessible to the general public, especially in rural and urban areas, responsible for implementing communication strategies and for compiling and delivering development-centered information programmes and campaigns, e.g. articulating Harambee and/or any other national development plan to the general public. Furthermore, the centre will be responsible for the integrated implementation of the government communication strategy and coordinate the marketing of Namibia internationally. Planning and managing government communication and information campaigns, communication research and strategies can bear tangible fruits when properly and centrally coordinated.
