Report | United States Industrial Outlook - Q4 2015
At 6.4 percent, vacancy is at a 15-year low and Class A warehouse space remains limited. At the same time, there continues to be a healthy pipeline of tenants in the market. As a result, developers are breaking ground on more speculative product in many markets. By year-end 2015, under construction spec projects totaled 115.0 million square feet, up 25.0 percent from one year ago (92.0 million square feet).
However, steady leasing activity should keep up with and slightly outpace new construction in most markets over the course of 2016; enough that the national vacancy rate is expected to drop closer to 6.0 percent, leading to warehouse rent growth of 4.5 percent. Although many leading economic indicators were strong in 2015, some variables - such as a slowdown in global demand - may affect the property segment in 2016.

Just today i realized that whenever my ACD's display goes to sleep (after 3 minutes), my iPod (which is connected to the ACD's usb hub) stops charging. This was never the case before. Then when i move my mouse and the display lights up, it says that there wasn't enough power on the USB port. I have the usb hub on the ACD hooked up to my ipod and another powered USB hub, while for firewire, it is hooked to my isight and my lacie HD. I tried removing everything but the iPod on the ACD's hub but as soon as the display goes to sleep, the ipod stops charging. Is my ACD having a problem with the usb/firewire hub? Thanks.

lol minecraft in 5 years
lol minecraft in 5 years
good. I like it. very limited on art tho.. like mine.. lol stupid deadlines lol btw do you use mouse or template and if so? what kind? I go my "genius" out of the bozes tonight and theres definitly an art quality increase but, since it doesn't have a screen and isn't super accurate I still wanna pull my hair out. then, final question.. how to you make lines like super straigh and clean.. my would want to like "bloch" when trying to draw a straight line so, do you like use pencil tool or something? or, this there like a "key" smoothness/setting on brush tool?
I use a Wacom Intuos 4 to draw everything. To smoothen lins, you draw something with the brush, select the lines and look at below the colours in the toolbar, there are "smooth" and "straighten" commands.
This'll help you.
Great story, really enjoyed it. NIce animation and sound pulled it all togther.
I was a huge fan of the animation here, the style definitely kept my attention, and it was fun to watch, I can't wait to see the rest of this "obligatory 24-part series". Keep up the good work, I'm a fan of other animations you've released in the past year or two, and I hope to see more from you soon.
Hey, thanks a lot :D
Is such a thing even possible?
Yes it is.

Jeroen Wolff continues his analysis of issues faced by legacy modernization professionals in this latest blog post.
In our previous legacy system modernization blog, we focused on the importance of understanding exactly what your legacy system does, and how it does it – before planning your route to modernization.
This seemingly obvious process, like the subject of this particular blog, is often not given the priority it deserves.
And that takes time, as well as increasing frustration and delay.
Today, we're talking about documentation – and the importance of creating and maintaining both user and support documents. It does sound obvious, doesn't it? And you'd think it would be done as a matter of course. But, as we'll see, that can sometimes not be further from the truth.
Consider the software engineering tool, CA Gen, where we have specialist expertise. The whole idea was that, being model-based, the documentation effectively WAS the model. This was a fundamental principle of the IEF, the forerunner to CA Gen. In theory, any competent person, involved in any part of the life cycle – from analysis to implementation – should be able to pick up the model, and understand how it was encoded. However, there are a number of reasons why the reality differs from the theory.
- The theory still requires the developers to enter descriptions and annotations where necessary. Developers are, of course, not writers. They like to code, and the need to add those descriptions gets put on the back burner and ultimately become "forgotten". After so long, it simply gets overlooked as the path of least resistance becomes a little more trampled.
- Development methods inevitably move on and the development tools lose their synergy with the method. For example, whereas CA Gen had full support for information engineering methods, it is less suited to support current trends like UML and analysis methods of writing user stories
- There are many people with an interest in the documentation who don't necessarily have access to CA Gen or the skillset to find the relevant documentation within it.
The impact of all this is self-explanatory. As discussed in the previous blog, you find yourself looking at a legacy system, scratching your head as to where to start. Had there been a mindset that documentation was maintained (for both users and support staff), you'd have a much better idea of how to begin.
Tools like Jumar's Model Analyser and Model Reporter can be used to automate the analysis of the 'as is' state of the applications, but having documentation to complement this means you can make even more educated decisions at the start of the process.
What, therefore, can be done?
The solution can be boiled down to a three-step iterative process, comprising improvement, extraction and monitoring:
- Improve the information that is within the model. Tool like Jumar's BulkUpdate allows for descriptions and notes to be added quickly and efficiently, using Office tools. Other Jumar tools can be used to extract information from various different development tools and bring it together. For example, Jumar has experience linking different development tools (IBMs Rational, CA ERwin Data Modeler, etc) with CA Gen and vice versa, thus allowing for the full life cycle coverage once again.
- Extract as much as possible from the models. Automation tools like Jumar's Model Reporter and Model Analyser greatly help here. The first allows for automatic generation of User and support documents in different formats. The latter extracts all important model information to a local database where it can be queried easily. It also allows for complexity reporting so that you know where the focus of the documentation should be. It can also help in terms extracting certain business rules and problematic code constructs.
- Monitor for quality purposes. Once the documentation is up to date, ensure it is maintained by setting up appropriate QA processes. Again, tooling can help to carry out QA activities. Especially important when supporting a system which is only updated every so often or when quick production fixes are applied.
A word of caution though; using Model Analyser and Model Reporter can be a 'quick fix' – but it'll be much more cost effective for your organisation if they are used as the starting point for a concerted, on-going plan to improve documentation.
While we've touched on CA Gen as an example here, this is true for practically any legacy system, but is a warning that we see repeatedly going unheeded.
Case study
In a recent client assignment we undertook here at Jumar, one of our experienced legacy experts took six weeks to complete the documentation of a system which should have been done by its previous custodians. Six weeks may sound like a long time, but it was dramatically accelerated by the use of automated analysis tools – and this investment in time ensures that any future development within that legacy system can take place at a fraction of the time and cost than it would have done without those robust documents.
So, what is our advice to alleviate the problems caused by a lack of documentation? Quite simply, you can AUTOMATE your understanding of the system. By 'automate', we do genuinely mean that the process is not a manual one. There is an understandable suspicion towards claims of automation – with many thinking that there's a low-cost development shop somewhere carrying out intensive tasks which vendors claim to automate. But the tools described here (and others within Jumar's Project Phoenix suite of software) ARE genuinely automated – and we can demonstrate this. This will form the basis of next month's blog – but for now, we hope this latest post shows the importance of documentation, and why now could be the time to grasp the nettle and get on top of the issue in your organisation.
We can help make it cheaper, faster and less stressful – just get in touch to find out exactly how.

More than 1,000 Chicago-area women and men die each year from breast cancer, and Komen Chicagoland is working to change these statistics. The Mother's Day Race for the Cure will take place on May 14, celebrating its 20th anniversary and making the move from Grant Park and Lombard to Montrose Harbor. Participants are asked to commit to raise $180, the average cost of a mammogram.
Funds raised through Race for the Cure will help achieve the goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. by 2026. The race enables Komen Chicago to provide life-saving screenings for those who can't otherwise afford them, fund national research, and empower people with knowledge. "If you join Race for the Cure, you can be someone's hero and help us close this gap." Says Bonnie Gordon, Komen Chicago executive director.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary and the move to Montrose, this year's Race for the Cure will be bigger and better than ever and feature exciting additions, including:
· An optional Shades of Pink Powder Path.
· Recognition of 20 More than Pink Heroes for the 20th anniversary, who will lead the Survivor Parade.
· The National Pink Cape Campaign: anyone who raises $180 will receive a pink cape to wear as a symbol of commitment to the fight to save lives.
The Chicago Mother's Day Race for the Cure will feature one 5K Fun Run/Walk, with registration fees of $40 for adults, $35 for survivors and $25 for kids (four and under are free). Registration is open. Participants can start or join a team or register as an individual.

When I was little, my dad used to read me some Shel Silverstein poems. One was about little creatures called "Whatifs" that would crawl inside your ear at night and whisper worries regarding all the "What-if's" in life. I still have days when those Whatifs come creeping, whispering all sorts of worries about raising my precious son who has Down syndrome. I think all parents of kiddos with special needs have difficult days now and then, worrying about their child's future. Nobody worries more, however, than the expectant parent – the one who has just received a "diagnosis" from their doctor, but who has not yet been able to hold their baby in their arms or look into his or her beautiful eyes. I ran across an alternate list of "What-if's" on another blog, and I believe Jessica was the original author. It touched me, and I couldn't resist republishing her list, and adding some of my own.
What if . . . ?
What if you fall madly, deeply, and hopelessly in love with your new baby?
What if he is the most amazing human being you will ever know?
What if he makes you a better person?
What if he makes your other children grow to be better people than they would have been without him in their lives?
What if you fall in love with your husband all over again for the way he fathers your son?
What if he brings you closer to God?
What if he touches and encourages more people than you can ever imagine?
What if he loves you more completely and sincerely than any other person you'll know?
What if he is much more alike than different from other children his age?
What if he connects you with an amazing community of people that you otherwise would never know?
I invite you to add your own comments – what "What-if's" can you add?

Time marches on. The days are running together. The weather here was nuts two days ago, lots of rain the other day, and still puddles here and there.
I hope you enjoy my story about the Iraqi Engineer School in Taji, Iraq north of Baghdad (click on the newsletter image on the left to see the full story in .pdf format). We flew there by military Blackhawk. I love that aircraft. Back when Katrina hit Louisiana, I was called to National Guard duty after the storm hit. I must have flown in the Blackhawk on at least 12 to 15 missions.
Well, here in Iraq, our success is very much dependent on the Iraqis training well. By June 30th, our forces are set to leave large cities, although that is not totally set in stone. But we're hopeful the Iraqis will be ready to take over security in many areas. Let's hope that this historic transition we're going through will lead to success after we leave Iraq altogether.
Anyway, I look forward to receiving your emails. You folks are very caring and selfless. Take care and God bless,

In the mid 1800s, the US Government went to great lengths to shut down Lysander Spooner's private post office. Turns out, Spooner's business should have been left alone. They should have shut down their own boondoggle. Almost a century and a half later, after billions upon billions of dollars of debt, the post office may be coming to its final death rattle and yes, that's fine with us.

The Phoenix Basketball U-12 team, consisting of lower Fairfield County All Stars, swept past three New York teams to win the Tip Off Classic AAU Tournament in Brewster, N.Y.
The team averaged more than 70 points a game in its wins this week. Westport players were big contributors to the Phoenix's success. Shooting guard Ben Casparius was one of the top scorers. Mack Muller and Thomas Tamiolakis were terrific on the boards and in defending the opponent's best scorers.
This weekend the team heads to Fordham University to play in the Minutemen Tournament. This tourney features 14 of the top AAU U-12 teams from the New York City area. The winner of this tournament qualifies for the National tournament, which will be held at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Phoenix will be defending their title as last year's U-11 Minutemen champions and nationals qualifiers.

COSTA MESA — BankAmerica Gallery will close Aug. 11, the final day of its current exhibition, "Hockney & Diebenkorn: A Print Survey from BankAmerica Corporation Art Collection."
The building that houses the gallery is owned by San Francisco-based BankAmerica Corp., which is negotiating to lease it to Unocal Corp. for a subsidiary, 76 Products Co. Earlier this month, BankAmerica employees were told the building must be vacated by Sept. 1, gallery coordinator Karen Brown said Thursday.
She said the bank's corporate art program is "exploring options" to find another Southern California location for exhibitions of the corporate collection, which now includes more than 22,000 works of contemporary art.
But whether that site would be in Orange, San Diego or Los Angeles county is not known at present. One concern, Brown said, is that a new gallery be "proximate and easily accessible to bank employees."
The 9,000-square-foot ground-floor gallery opened in 1989 in what was then the Orange County headquarters of Security Pacific Bank. When BankAmerica acquired Security Pacific--and its art collection--in 1992, the site became one of several galleries operated by the banking giant.

In Fall 2012, I opened Your-Movement Wellness Center as an oasis from the chaos of New York City life. My studio is a calm space where New Yorkers can feel refreshed – turning off the noise in their heads to tune-in to their greater self. Together, we have built a community where every one feels welcome to work-out in a friendly and non-judgmental environment. I wanted more people to understand their inner self, and feel balanced in mind and body. In the studio we specialize in small intimate classes so that each student can get one-on-one attention. My goal is that even after just one class we can help improve students' form. Creating a lasting impact.
When I first started working-out daily, I was doing it wrong, with poor alignment. This led to injuries in my knee and shoulder. In my private sessions I focus on correct alignment. Everyone should know a safe way to exercise. My growing knowledge, and my practice of Pilates and Yoga has led me to a full recovery. I know the healing benefits of practice first-hand. Everyone can benefit from taking Yoga and Pilates. They improve focus and concentration, reduce pain, and improve posture.
The practice of yoga and Pilates has changed my body and my mind. After a year of continual practice not only did my body become leaner and more toned, but I was also changing from the inside out. After classes I was craving healthy food. I studied and went through Health Coaching myself I found that there was a difference between what I thought was healthy and what was healthy for me. Learning to listen to my body was a challenge, but one that was well worth it. Our bodies want to be healthy, it's just a matter of being able to listen to them. This journey led me to certification as a Health Coach and Nutritionists.
In holistic health care, every bit counts. This means, eating sweets is okay, because Holistic health is not a lists of "dos" and "don't." It is about moderation and listening. My passion is to help others establish full, healthy lifestyles, through whole foods, exercises, and mindfulness.
Having a strong body doesn't matter, however, without strong mental health. Being able to stay calm and centered, even in challenging situations. Meditation, and other healing methods, helped me to see everything with a positive mind set, and helped me to face the good and the bad with open arms. We never know what tomorrow can bring, and most of the time we need to endure the bad, and learn from it, and to enjoy and appreciate the good.

Mayor Bloomberg: Newly Elected Politicians Are Ignorant and Can't Read
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned that newly elected politicians could spark a trade war with China because "they can't read."
FOX News reported:
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, traveling in Hong Kong over the weekend, warned that the new crop of politicians elected to Congress last week could spark a trade war with China because their criticism of the Asian superpower is bred in ignorance.
The billionaire mayor reportedly said Americans who voted for these politicians may do a disservice to U.S.-Chinese relations because the incoming freshmen aren't worldly enough to grasp diplomacy or the economic upside of China's emerging economy.
"If you look at the U.S., you look at who we're electing to Congress, to the Senate — they can't read," The Wall Street Journal quoted Bloomberg as saying.
"I'll bet you a bunch of these people don't have passports. We're about to start a trade war with China if we're not careful here only because nobody knows where China is. Nobody knows what China is," he reportedly said.

John Suthers (R)
DENVER (Legal Newsline) - Attorneys for the state of Colorado have reached a settlement with an Internet marketer and seller of nutritional supplements to bring them into compliance with consumer protection laws, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers has announced.
Nutra Pills Inc., and its owner, Joshua D. Bezoni, will also reimburse consumers who did business over the last year with the company.
The Arvada, Colo.-based company, also doing business as Golf Nutrition Sciences and GNS, has used so-called "free-to-pay conversion" marketing since 2005. This practice led to consumers unknowingly incurring ongoing payments for products that they initially believed were free.
"Our office and our partners at the Better Business Bureau receive thousands of complaints every year concerning free-to-pay conversion schemes," Suthers said. "This agreement will ensure that Mr. Bezoni's future businesses will be required to clearly disclose exactly what consumers are signing up for when they request a free sample. Consumers should always beware of any offer that purports to be free. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
According to court filings, consumers signed up for free trials of products, including Acai Berry Edge, Acai Berry Elite and Slim Seduction. At the time of placing their order, consumers believed that they were only authorizing the shipping and handling charges for the free trial. When the trial arrived, however, a two-month supply of the product was also sent. The consumers were given a limited amount of time to return the product or face a nearly $80 charge within 30 days.
If the consumers failed to take any action to cancel the order and send the two-month supply of the product back, the company enrolled them into its "continuity" plan. Under the plan, consumers are sent products and charged nearly $80 for each shipment.
Over 1,000 consumers complained that they did not realize they were agreeing to the additional charges associated with the free trial offer and that after learning of their enrollment, it was too difficult or too late to get their money refunded.
Bezoni and his businesses, under terms of the settlement, are prohibited from marketing "free" products unless they are actually free and not part of a free-to-pay conversion plan. The defendants are also barred from enrolling consumers into continuity plans unless the terms of the plan, including the cancellation policy, are clearly and conspicuously disclosed to consumers prior to signing up to receiving a product. The terms must also be disclosed after the transaction has been completed.
An express authorization must also be obtained by the defendants from consumers for all charges associated with the initial transaction, including future charges, and disclose when those charges will be levied.
Additionally, Bezoni and his businesses must allow consumers to cancel in the same manner as they signed up for a sample. The defendants are also required to obtain express authorization every 12 months from consumers already enrolled in a continuity plan to remain enrolled.
Bezoni and Nutra Pills will pay a $100,000 find under terms of the agreement, with half of that payment suspended for a period of five years provided the defendants do not violate the settlement. All consumer complaints filed since December 2006 must also be reimbursed as well as reimbursements for all consumers who requested but were denied funds since December 2008.
Nearly all of the company's $40 million in sales generated in 2009 came as a direct result of its free-to-pay conversion sales. The company, since Attorney General Suthers launched his investigation into Nutra Pills one year ago, has refunded nearly $9 million dollars to consumers and ceased doing business.

NMJC Automotive Programs Maintain National Certification
11/25/2008 12:11:09 a.m. - Hobbs, NM. The Ford and General Motors Automotive Technology training programs at New Mexico Junior College have once again received certification by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
To achieve this coveted recognition, NMJC's automotive technology training programs recently underwent rigorous evaluation by NATEF. Nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas such as instruction, facilities, and equipment were used.
"This is great news for automotive-minded young people and their parents," said Donald Seyfer, NATEF chair. "Because this program increases cooperation between local education and industry leaders, it gives added assurance that NMJC's graduates will be employable entry-level technicians. As a result of the quality education provided by NMJC, the motoring public will benefit since better repair technicians will join the work force."
Upon completion of the evaluation, NATEF recommended that NMJC be re-certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), which is a national non-profit organization that tests and certifies repair technicians, in addition to certifying automotive training programs.
Dr. Randy Whicker, Professor of Automotive Technology for the Ford-ASSET program at NMJC, is understandably pleased with the renewed certification. "We're certainly proud of our automotive programs here at NMJC. The fact that we have been NATEF certified since 1993 speaks volumes regarding the quality of training available here for individuals wanting to prepare for a career in the automotive service industry. It's important to note that this couldn't be accomplished without the support of local automobile dealerships and independent repair facilities."
Sam Gilcrease, Professor of Automotive Technology for the GM-ASEP program, also stresses the partnerships that are created by maintaining national certification. "Students can be assured of a high quality education, and shop owners will be assured of getting quality job applicants. It's definitely a win-win for everyone," he said.
For more information about NMJC's automotive technology programs, contact Dr. Randy Whicker (Ford) at 575.492.2865 or Sam Gilcrease (GM) at 575.492.2863.

At an event in New Delhi today, Motorola launched the much touted Moto Z and Moto Z Play in India at a price of Rs 39,990 and Rs 24,990.
Moto Z: The World's thinnest premium smartphone
The Moto Z, which is undoubtedly Motorola's most exiting smartphone in recent years, comes packed to the gills with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera with OIS and 4K recording, a 5MP front shooter and a 2,600mAh battery along with TurboCharging support.
The 'Worlds thinnest premium smartphone' comes with a 5.5-inch QuadHD display protected by corning gorilla glass, a sleek and suave metal/glass body and unlimited feature expansion through Motorola's Moto Mods.
Talking about the camera setup in detail, the 13MP rear camera has an aperture of f/1.8, zero shutter lag, optical image stabilisation, a dual LED flash and laser autofocus. The front 5Mp camera is shared with the Moto Z Play and Motorola claims has improved low light capabilities.
Moto Z Play: The younger brother!
Alongside the flagship Moto Z, Motorola also launched its younger brother, the Moto Z Play which comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a downgrade from the QuadHD resolution of the Moto Z.
The Play has a metal frame with a glass back and feels premium in the hand. It is quite heavier and thicker that the Moto Z, which might actually be a positive for some, as its much easier to grip in the hand.
The Moto Z Play comes with the Snapdragon 635 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 16MP rear camera with laser autofocus and the largest battery Motorola has ever put in any of its smartphones. Motorola claims the Moto Z play can give upto 45 hours of battery life and also supports Motorola's TurboCharging technology.
The front camera is the same as the one on the Moto Z, with a 5MP sensor.
Price and Availability
The Moto Z and Moto Z Play have been prices at Rs 39,990 and Rs 24,990 respectively and will go sale via Amazon India and Flipkart from 11;59 pm onwards on 17th October 2016.
While the devices are incredibly premium and feature packed, I wish Lenovo had been a little aggressive in their pricing.

We got Garlic Guy's Garlic Head BBQ sauce the other day, and have been enjoying it immensley!
delicious, garlic-y taste, a nice balance of flavours
nice, thick texture
nice packaging. The lid could use a logo on it for easy finding in the fridge.
Here is our recipe, it's very simple;
We used Schneider's au'Natura chicken stripes as the "meat" of choice. Snaggy and I both are vegetarians, but we do like the fake meat products out there. We slathered the sauce onto the fake meat strips, so as to coat them well. In a saucepan (or wok) we cooked them up, let them sizzle in the sauce as we made some Jasmine rice. After about 15 minutes or so, dinner's on! We served the simmered Garlic Head fake chicken strips on a bed of jasmine thai rice with a side of green salad. Yummy! Delicious! I definitely would add that dish to my repertoire of dinners. Easy, fast to make too.
Thanks Garlic Guy! That's a great product you have there!
PS, we are going to try it on plain old tofu next.
PPS, in BBQ season, when we're invited to BBQ's I usually make veggie kabobs with thick chunks of tofu and veggies, I would definitely like to try this sauce on a veggie kabob, I bet the smoky, charred flavor of the BBQ with the Garllic Head would be delicious! My fave kabob veggies are; green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers, zuchinni, and mushrooms.

Thank you for the kind words and the information, Nitro!
(/tips his hat, trying his hardest not to come off as the 'cowboy wannabee' he really is)
I should have mentioned earlier that I often put a round white label bearing the website address on the lid when sending out orders. I have always done it as a marketing tool - never even thought of the "finding the jar in the fridge" aspect. This too helps.
I'd like to offer your recipe suggestions on the site as "nearly" vegetarian, citing the fact that the sauce itself contains a tiny amount of anchovy.
I am a little behind in work right now, but will be getting reward shipments (together with one belated request - MoMan) into the mail by Friday.
Then I'll try to organize my ideas for a contest giving away some merchandise and some more sauce for all to participate in. Hopefully we'll have a bit more fun with this....
Still waiting to hear from a couple of the sauce recipients - you know who you are...
I don't know what I was thinking... it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Pseudo edit: WARNING - This post may ramble and or be long.. You HAVE been warned...
"Here is another recipe that I've used recently - nothing clever this time...
Took a fairly big rolled shoulder of pork and put into a marinade of about half a jar GH sauce, glass or so of red wine and about half a jar of water used to washout the jar. Left it to soak for about 45 mins, turned the joint over and left for about another 45 mins. Put the joint in a preheated oven @ 200 C in the marinade uncovered, turned it after about an hour still uncovered... put the lid on the crock for the last half hour to allow a bit of steaming in the now reduced marinade.
Did roast potatoes as I usually do (peel and place raw into a dish and brush/drizzle with a little oil, crush 2-3 large cloves garlic over them and sprinkle with tarragon and marjoram (or other herbs of your choice - oregano + basil or cumin powder + marjoram also work well but YMMV). Place in the oven with the meat for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on size of spuds...
Purely for curiosity question - how many of you have heard of/use this potato roasting technique?
I learned it from my mother who got it from her mother, etc. But here in UK the usual form seems to be to boil the potatoes for 20 mins, drain and shake vigorously in the pan and then add to a preheated pan coated with oil for about 20 mins turning/shaking regularly.. to me that would appear to be a form of sautéed potatoes rather than roasted... But hell, neither I, my Mother or Maternal Grandmother (or Nanny as she was always known to me) seem to have ever given a "flying monkey's" about what "the experts" said... This way works for us and has produced consistently fabulous roasted potatoes for generations. If you have never heard of/tried this variant maybe you should give it a go... Works for me Dude....
Steamed the broccoli, cauliflower, leeks and carrots over pork stock (from a cube - can't be bothered with all that boiling up) + soy, Worcestershire and and herbs (oregano, basil and corriander), couple of cardamom pods, couple of allspice berries and a bay leaf and sprinkled a few fennel seed and cumin seeds into the veg itself (this is standard practice for me BTW) Herb mixture varies with meat involved... Beef always seems to need thyme to really bring out its flavour (but that is just me)
Made gravy/sauce from half the remaining veg steaming mix, another pork cube and a bit of fresh water, finally stirred in a ladle (poss two) of the remaining GH marinade to prevent a clash of flavour between the gravy and meat...
Meal was a great success - both Jackie and I were impressed with how nicely the marinade flavoured the meat, left a slightly sticky semi sweet layer on the outside of the meat and didn't overpower the other flavours involved...
(Note: we have in the past been big fans of carefully stabbing big joints of meat with a small bladed filleting knife at strategic points and sliding a 1/2 to1 clove of garlic (depending on the size of cloves) into the cut before roasting... This gives a fine garlic infused roast but without the BBQ sweet/sourness.
GH Sauce however did not leave that undesirable tomato/sharp/sour taste that many BBQ sauces can - which isn't always a bad thing on a BBQ - but isn't what you're looking for in a flavoursome pot roasted flavoured joint...)
P.S. In many ways this replicated Ronwhyyn's "pulled pork" idea although I must admit have never hearing of that before... Excepting that our joint was left firm enough to carve up into nice "slices" in the traditional "roast meat dinner" style
"So if you want my address - it's No. 1 at the end of the bar, where I sit with the broken angels, clutching at straws and nursing my scars..."

Ehh, give credit where credit is due, Serenak. BW had the awesome-sounding pulled pork recipe. I only marinated pork ribs overnight, then put in the Crock-Pot for a few hours before baking. The next day I did pull the leftover meat from the bones and stir in enough GH sauce to make a good mixture, but I never got to a microwave so I ate it cold/room temperature. It was actually rather good.
I want to try GH on chicken patties next, maybe mixing the sauce with spaghetti sauce a bit, then layering a slice of American (Swiss would be better but we rarely have it 'cause it's so expensive) cheese over top and broiling.
My family makes fried potatoes similar to how you do them, but without so many spices (PA Dutch cooking doesn't use a lot of spices
) and sometimes with the skins on. We'll dice them or slice them, depending on our mood and how quickly we want them to get finished (thinner bakes/fries faster).
If we ever got everyone together for potluck, we'd be so stuffed our airlines would have to kick someone else off the plane to make room! Hmm... that's a thought, GG... you could have a cooking contest as part of your local fair... the contestants would have to use GH sauce somehow in their recipe. (Hershey's Chocolate sponsors a similar competition with baked goods here in PA.)

Manawa boys fall to Shiocton, down T-Birds
The Manawa boys basketball team split a pair of games last week. On Tuesday, Feb. 7 they beat Iola-Scandinavia to record their second win of the season. On Friday, Feb. 10 the team fell to Shiocton 73-37.
The Wolves got off to a hot start against Shiocton, outscoring them 15-8 in the first quarter. Shiocton battled back in the second quarter to take a one point lead at halftime. Manawa struggled mightily in the second half. They were outscored 29-8 in the third quarter and 20-6 in the fourth quarter.
Logan Hass was the only Manawa player to score in double digits, as he scored 12 points. Wesley Krauss chipped in with eight points.
Earlier in the week, Manawa defeated Iola-Scandinavia for its second win of the year. The two teams were evenly matched in the first half with Manawa holding a two point lead after the first quarter and then a one point lead at the end of two quarters.
Manawa had a huge third quarter, outscoring the T-Birds 24-11 and held a 53-39 lead entering the final quarter of the game. The T-Birds didn't give up as they outscored the Wolves by 10 points in the fourth quarter, but the Wolves were able to hold on to a 58-54 victory.

Adaptil For Dogs is a plug-in diffuser that releases a calming pheromone. Just plug it into the room where your dog displays signs of stress, and get 24-hour control. Adaptil also comes in a spray that can be used on your dog's bedding.
Dogs and Puppies
When you plug Adaptil into an electrical socket, it emits a scent that mimics naturally reassuring pheromones. It includes Adaptil (Dog Appeasing Pheromone), a proprietary formula that mimics the appeasing pheromones secreted by female dogs when nursing that sends a signal of comfort and safety to her puppies. When your dog senses the pheromone, he or she feels secure and comfortable, reducing anxious reactions and the urge to act out destructively.
Read all instructions before using. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children. Do not put fingers or hands into the diffuser. Adult assembly is required. The surfaces of the diffuser reach high temperatures to create evaporation of active ingredients. These surfaces should not be touched when plugged in. Don't use this product with any other type of plug-in device, or place it underneath or behind furniture. When plugged in, do not touch with metal objects or wet hands. Harmful if swallowed. Call your physician immediately.
When using Adaptil Spray, do not spray directly onto your dog.
All Adaptil products should be stored at room temperature. Always store diffuser bottles in the upright position.

text: The effect of exogenous silicon on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat cultivars under salt stress conditions K. Maghsoudi College of Agriculture, Shiraz University author Y. Emam Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Seed germination and early seedling growth are critical stages for plants establishment and production, particularly under salinity conditions. Exogenous application of silicon (Si) can enhance germination as well as seedling growth. In this experiment, the effect of priming with Si (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 mM sodium silicate) on seed germination and seedling growth under NaCl (0, 100 and 150 mM) conditions was studied in two wheat cultivars of Kavir (salt tolerant) and Shiraz (salt sensitive). The experiment was designed as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in the laboratoryof college of Agriculture, Shiraz University, in 2012. Results showed that seed priming by Si improved germination percentage, germination rate, vigor index, shoot and root length and seedling dry weight in both stress and non-stress conditions. Moreover, Si increased K+ uptake and K+/Na+ ratio and decreased Na+ content of cultivars with the effect of 2.25 mM being more pronounced. On the contrary, salt stress reduced the above traits andK+ uptake and K+/Na+ ratio and increased mean germination timeand Na+ uptake in both cultivars with the negative effects of 150 mMNaCl being more severe. However, the tolerant cultivar (Kavir) accumulated less Na+ and more K+ and had greater K+/Na+ ratio compared to non-tolerant cultivar (Shiraz). Although the salinity adversely affected seed germination and seedling growth in both cultivars, Kavir (tolerant cultivar) was less affected. It was concluded that priming with Si may promote germination and subsequent seedling growth of wheat cultivars under salinity conditions by reducing Na+ in favor of K+ accumulation.

Parvizi Shiraz University author A.R. Sepaskhah Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- In recent years, intensive drought has caused a severe yield reduction in rain-fed trees. Increasing runoff of low amount rainfall can be used to provide partial water requirement of rain-fed trees. To achieve this objective, some strategies including gravel removal (G), rill construction across to slope (R) and applying of baking soda (S) and their effects on runoff, rainfall infiltration and soil loss were simulated by a laboratory rainfall simulator under 33 mm h-1 intensity in 60 minutes. The results showed that the combination of R+, G- and S+ significantly increase the soil loss, runoff, and runoff coefficient 14.43, 2.74 and 1.59 and decrease rainfall threshold and infiltration 2.1 and 1.57 times compared to the control, respectively. Separately, S+, R+ and G- were the most effective in the runoff enhancement (31.2, 29.3 and 22%) and in infiltration reduction (8.4, 7 and 5%), respectively. S+ had the most effect on soil loss due to dispersion of soil surface. Furthermore, the effect of R+ was more visible than G- in increasing the soil loss. Applying sodium bicarbonate (S) increased the sodium in runoff and sediment, but there were no salinity (EC= 0.51-0.60 dS m-1) and sodicity (SAR= 0.34-0.73) hazard in runoff. In saturated extract of sediment, the salinity (EC= 1.75-2.23 dS m-1) and sodium (SAR= 1.96-3.45) hazard were relatively high and low, respectively. Although, chemical treatments (S) did not show the sodicity hazard very much, the use of S must be considered carefully.

Zarei Shiraz University author Z. Paymaneh Shiraz University author A. Ronaghi Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT-Water stress is the main cause for crop yield reduction in the majority of agricultural regions of the world because it affects almost all plant functions. The effects of Glomus mosseae on growth, nutrients uptake, and antioxidant enzymes of sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and rough lemon) Citrus jambheri) rootstocks were assessed in sterilized soil under greenhouse conditions. A three-factor experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with three replicates of each treatment. Treatments consisted of water stress at four levels (irrigation intervals of 2, 4, 6, and 8 days) and mycorrhizal treatments at two levels (inoculation with G. mosseae and non-mycorrhizal control). Mycorrhizal seedlings of two citrus rootstocks were successfully infected by G. mosseae. As water stress increased, root colonization, shoot dry weight, shoot N, P, Mn, Cu, and Fe uptake of two citrus rootstocks significantly decreased but shoot Zn uptake and the antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (G-POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)] activities of two citrus rootstocks leaves increased. With inoculation of seedlings by G. mosseae compared with control, shoot dry weight, N and P uptake, and antioxidant enzymes activities increased. It may be concluded that mycorrhizal inoculation notably influenced shoot nutrients uptake and leaves antioxidant enzymes activities in citrus and an increase in these parameters alleviated water stress.

Fararooei Shiraz University author S. Amin Shiraz University author M. Noshadi Shiraz University author S. M. Taghavi Shiraz University author A. Niazi Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Aerobic biodegradation is an environmental-friendly biological method that allows micro organisms to remove persistent organic pollutants. Aroclor1254 is a mixed compound containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) along with persistent organic materials. There is no estimate of Aroclor1254 usage and its release into the environment in Iran. A transformer manufacturing plant in Shiraz (located in southwest of Iran) uses transformer oils containing Aroclor1254. Soil samples contaminated by transformer oil were taken from the manufacturing plant's site and were tested for the presence of certain bacteria, level of degradation and pH. In all samples, 13 bacterial strains were isolated on C-media, and their growth was measured using a spectrophotometer. Of the isolated strains, eight could degrade Aroclor1254. Of these eight strains, three showed weak growth (OD between 0.1 to 0.195), three showed low growth (OD between 0.2 to 0.3) and two showed good growth (OD between 0.3 to 0.5). Some of the strains grew well during the first week, but their growth decreased and eventually stopped in the second week. For all the growth media on which the bacteria from the soil was separated and cultured, pH decreased as the bacterial growth increased. For some media, in which bacterial growth had stopped, pH increased after 14 or 21 days but it was always below 7.0. This indicated that environmental pH or increasing carbon dioxide levels were not suitable for the growth of these strains. However, this trend was not observed in bacteria belonging to Pseudomonas, Curtobacterium and Burkholderia. These bacteria could grow and degrade Aroclor1254 even at pH of 4.5. In fact, their degradation efficiency increased at a constant pH of about 5.5.

Malekzadeh Tabriz University author H. A. Alikhani Tehran University author G. R. SavaghebiFiroozabadi Tehran University author M. Zarei Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- A pot experiment was conducted to elucidate the effects of single and co-inoculation of maize plant with Bacillus mycoides and Micrococcus roseus, indigenous to HMs contaminated soils, on the plant growth and uptake of essential nutrients and Ni by maize in the soil polluted by 250 and 500 mg Ni kg-1. At each level of Ni contamination, shoot dry weight and nutrients uptake significantly increased in M. roseus and B. mycoides treatments compared to non-inoculated plants. The highest plant growth promoting effect was found for B. mycoides at the level of 250 mg Ni kg-1 and for M. roseus at the level of 500 mg Ni kg-1 which enhanced plant biomass by 33.2% and 90%, respectively, compared to non-inoculated plants. At the levels of 250 and 500 mg Ni kg-1, shoot Ni uptake of plants inoculated with B. mycoides or M. roseus significantly increased compared to non-inoculated plants. Root Ni uptake of plants inoculated with B. mycoides and M. roseus significantly decreased at the level of 250 mg Ni kg-1 and increased at the level of 500 mg Ni kg-1 compared to control plants. The lowest Ni transfer factor and maximum Ni translocation factor were in plants inoculated with B. mycoides at the level of 250 mg Ni kg-1 and in non-inoculated plants at the levels of 500 mg Ni kg-1. Inoculation of plants with B. mycoides and M. roseus may be the effective treatments in Ni phytoextraction at the levels of 250 and 500 mg Ni kg-1, respectively. Consortium of two bacteria had the lowest plant dry matter and shoots and roots Ni uptake and the maximum transfer factor compared to other treatments at the level of 500 mg Ni kg-1 that may be the effective treatment in Ni phytostabilization.

Rezvani Shiraz University author A. Akhlaghi Shiraz University author F. Saemi Shiraz University author M.M. Ommati Shiraz University author M. Dadpasand Shiraz University author H. Atashi Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Ninety six 2-week-old British United Turkeys (BUT) Big 6 were assigned to 2 groups (4 replicates of 12 birds each). One basal diet and another one in which 20% canola meal replaced the corn starch in the basal diet were prepared. At 9, 16 and 21 wk of age, four birds from each pen slaughtered for digesta collection. The last two-third segment of the intestine, between the Meckel's diverticulum and about 2 cm anterior to the ileo-ceca-colonic junction, was excised. The diets and digesta were analyzed for dry matter, crude protein, and chromic oxide content. The standardized prececal protein digestibility of canola meal was calculated using multiple linear regression procedure. The standardized prececal protein digestibility of canola meal at 21 wk of age was significantly lower as compared with that of 9 wk of age; the relative weight of digestive organs also decreased significantly with increasing age (P< 0.05). By using multiple linear regression which accounted for the endogenous nitrogen losses, we showed that standardized prececal protein digestibility was also influenced by the age.

Baruah Tezpur University, Tezpur, Assam, India author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Energy use patterns and the contribution of energy input vary among farming systems. The optimal use of improved farm machinery coupled with the optimal use of other recommended sources permit an increase in paddy yield up to potential levels. In order to determine the effect of production systems on energy use efficiency focusing on mechanization for paddy production in Khuzestan province, a survey was conducted in the fourth largest rice producing region of Iran. The data were collected by interviewing the farmers using a questionnaire through two-staged cluster sampling of 295 households from these two regions covered farm operations over the period 2009-2010. The surveyed households were grouped into five categories based on the method of crop planting and drainage conditions. The energy input of paddy production systems ranged from 55,000 to 180,000 mega joules per hectare. This high amount of energy applied to paddy production in Khuzestan province is mainly due to the high amount of energy consumed by pumping water. This critical operation led to energy ratios below one for systems recognized as more mechanized. Energy consumption through diesel and electricity which was used for irrigation purposes and machinery operations was the maximum (up to 93%). The second highest energy input source was chemical fertilizer which consumed 4 to 57% of the total energy input. An operation-wise energy use analysis revealed that harvesting and tillage operations are important consumers of energy in paddy production. The rice crop showed a low energy ratio and energy productivity, indicating an energy-expensive crop under the conditions prevailing in the province.

MousaviNik University of Zabol author A. Jowkar Shiraz University author A. RahimianBoogar Shiraz University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Improper seed germination is a serious challenge for medicinal herbs under drought stress conditions in semi-arid and arid regions. A new group of plant growth regulators known as karrikins have been proved useful to improve seed germination in some plants. In this regard, the effects of karrikin on seed germination and vigor of three medicinals under drought stress were examined. Seeds of Trachyspermum copticum (L.) Link, Foeniculum vulgare Miller, and Cuminum cyminum L. were sowed under drought treatments (-1, -1.5, -2 and -2.5 MPa of PEG 6000), with and without synthetic Karrikin GR24 (10µM). Results indicated increasing osmotic pressure seed germination characteristics were severely reduced; however, karrikin significantly increased the seed germination of the three herbs. The application of karrikin in all drought conditions significantly increased germination percentage, germination rate, germination index, seedling vigor, shoot length and radicle length of all herb seedlings. Ajwain (T. copticum) showed a greater drought tolerance compared to the other medicinal species.

Lashgari Arak University author R. MohammadiGol Arak University author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Firmness is one of the most important quality indicators for apple fruits, which is highly correlated with the storage time. The acoustic impulse response technique is one of the most commonly used nondestructive detection methods for evaluating apple firmness. This paper presents a non-destructive method for classification of Iranian apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Golab) according to the duration of storage. Several data preprocessing methods were tested: normalization, detrending, Savitzky-Golay smoothing, first and second derivatives, multiplicative scatter correction, standard normal variate and moving average. It was observed that the maximum average Fβ value of classification on the test dataset (0.84) belongs to non-preprocessing. In this study, principal component analysis (PCA) technique was performed to determine the key variables that explain most differences in the spectra. Seven principal components were used to calibrate linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) classifiers. The classification accuracy for LDA and QDA models were about 80.56% and 83.33%, respectively. The results indicated that the acoustic impulse response method is potentially applicable for the detection of apple firmnes Iran Agricultural Research Shiraz University 1013-9885 35 v. 2 no. 2016 65 70 http://iar.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3799_71328e2bfcd92561a2fd2905f61e3c33.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22099/iar.2016.3799 Influence of pre-treatment on the drying process of apricots K. JafariNaeimi ShahidBahonar University, author R. Ahmadi ShahidBahonar University, author M. DavariShamsabadi ShahidBahonar University, author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- Drying has been used for the preservation of fruits since ancient times. Dried apricot reduces the damages, weight and volume losses, packaging space, storage and handling costs. In this paper, the effects of hot air dryer on an Iranian apricot cultivar "Noori" have been investigated. The experiment was conducted at three temperatures (30, 40 and 50oC), three fruit thicknesses (5, 10 and 15 mm) and two pre-treatments (sulphur dioxide and water soluble sodium meta-bisulphite (Na2S2O5)). Based on the analysis of variance, the effects of temperature, thickness, pre-treatment and their interactions on drying time were significant (P<1%). It was revealed that water soluble reduced drying time more than sulphur dioxide. The data was fitted to eight different mathematical models. Page model was determined as the best one to explain thin layer drying of apricots by comparing the coefficient of correlation determination(R), chi-square ( ) and root mean square error (RMSE) between the observed and expected moisture ratios.

Afsharmanesh Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman author K. Dahghani Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman author Z. Mehdipour Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- This study was designed to investigate the effects of adding different levels of date presscakes (DP), with and without enzyme supplementation (ES), on the ileal digestibility and growth performance of broiler. A completely randomized design containing 2 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments (with and without enzyme supplementation and 5 levels of DP) was used. The enzyme complex contained 3500 U ß –glucanase, 600 U xylanase and 10.2 U cellulase activities per g of product. Five experimental diets with similar composition as the control were prepared by partial replacements of corn by DP at the levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg diet. Day-old male broiler chicks were allocated into 40 cages at random (4 replicates per treatment, 10 birds per cage). Body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and apparent ileal digestibility of nutrients were determined. Substitution of corn by 75 and 100g DP/kg increased (linear, P<0.05) the body weight gain and feed intake. Enzyme supplementation of the diets at 50, 75 and 100g DP/kg improved (P<0.05) the daily gain of birds as compared with the birds that were fed the control diet without enzyme. Enzyme supplementation at 0, 50 and 75 g DP/kg diet improved (P<0.05) the crude protein digestibility. The data indicated that DP with ES, included at the levels of up to 100g/kg diet might enhance the growth performance of broilers..

Hashemi Malayer university author H. Abbaslou Sirjan University of Technology author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- The present research was conducted to study K forms and fixation in soils of southern Iran (Hormozgan Province) with aridic and aridic-ustic regimes and to address the relations between soil mineralogy and potassium forms. Thirteen surface soil samples (0-25 cm) were collected from different regions and analyzed in laboratory. Illite and feldspar and mica are the major clay and soil minerals for K reservoir, respectively. Mean of non-exchangeable, exchangeable and total content of K were equal to 31.3, 283.9 and 1080.6 mg kg-1 soils, respectively. These forms of K were abundant in plateau and piedmont plain physiographical unites while the greatest amount of soluble potassium was observed in flood and alluvial plain units. Despite the aridity of the region with low clay fraction and unlike the previous studies in calcareous arid soils of Iran, the amount of potassium fixation in soils was high, probably due to the predominance of micaceous minerals. In an adsorption experiment, the average K adsorption in soils was 71 percent after adding 1000 mg K kg-1. In general, the most active component in the K fixation was the silt fraction, dominated mica and illite. Potassium fixation boosted after increasing the wetting and drying cycles in relation to the samples that did not suffer these cycles.

Miri University of Zabol author A. Gholamalizadeh Ahangar University of Zabol author M. Ghorbani University of Zabol author E. Shirmohammadi University of Zabol author text article 2016 eng ABSTRACT- The increasing population and the pastures inability to meet food needs in livestock have led to the increase of cultivates forage plants. In order to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) extract on the growth and concentration of macronutrient and micronutrient contents of forage sorghum (Sorghum vulgare), an experiment was conducted as factorial aaraned in a completely randomized design with six replications at Research Greenhouse University of Zabol. The first factor was PGPR (included soil inoculated and non-inoculated (control) medium, and the second factor was alfalfa extract in three concentrations (0, 2 and 4 ppm). The results showed that increasing alfalfa extract concentration significantly increased total plant dry weight as well as the macro and micronutrient contents. The highest and lowest manganese contents were achieved in the 0.004 levels and control of alfalfa extracts, respectively. Copper content in 0.002 level of alfalfa extract showed a 15% increase compared to the control, with no significant difference with 0.004 of alfalfa extracts. PGPR application as growing substrate also significantly increased dry weight as well as manganese, copper and potassium contents of the plant. Also, there was no significant difference in iron content at level 4 per thousand of alfalfa extract in a substrate inoculated with PGPR compared to the non-inoculated substrate. Finally, it is recommended that the effect of alfalfa extract on yield and nutrient concentrations of other plants be examined in the future.

On Wednesday 23 April Vicky Johnston and I had the pleasure of attending a thought provoking presentation by co-founder of Green & Black's, Josephine Fairley.
Green & Black's is one of the best-known brands in the food world, known both for its quality and for its ethical credentials. Launched in 1991 by organic food pioneer Craig Sams and his journalist wife Josephine Fairley, it is now an internationally renowned, award-winning brand and multi-million pound business.
Josephine began her presentation by telling us how the Green & Black's business name was derived, this not being from any of the founders' surnames or from an eco-catchy name such as 'Eco Choc' (which was highly in fashion at the time), but from a wordplay. 'Green' standing for the environmental, ethical concerns of the founders and 'Black' for the high cocoa solids chocolate they wished to provide.
Josephine went on to share with us her business story and the key areas she believed were fundamental to their success including branding and design, effective PR, customer service and the importance of ethics underpinning a brand.
Throughout the presentation Josephine made reference to the power of a brand and how the use of colour and design in the right context can play an important part in establishing yourself making you instantly recognisable. In a design conscious environment where consumers regularly purchase based on 'looks' this is ever increasingly important. While it is key to constantly assess your position and reinvent, Josephine talked about the difference between evolution of your brand rather than revolution, which could result in significant changes being made and a recognised brand being instantly lost.
Advertising was something Green & Black's did very little of in the early years. Instead they focused on effective PR, gaining endorsements from recognised people to promote their product. They established their brand and then went on to advertise and promote this further to the masses before selling the business to Cadbury plc in 2005.
The presentation concluded with Josephine sharing her summarised best advice with us as well as the best practice she had learned from others along her journey which included two fundamental tools – the ability to look at your business from two angles. The 'microscope' allows you to look at a business closely to ensure that you have got the detail right while the 'telescope' allows you to stand back, take perspective and look at your business from a distance and gain perspective.
The event was hosted by the University of Cumbria in conjunction with the Cumbria Growth Hub and we would like to thank them for hosting such an entertaining and stimulating session. Josephine certainly provided new angles to consider when developing a business.
At David Allen we are always looking to ensure we expand our existing expertise with new, fresh and exciting ideas which in turn helps us to provide practical advice to help our clients succeed in business.

The house was super clean and complete (furnitures and kitchen). The villa was super calm too. We spend a lot of time at the pool, which was never crowded and it´s huge.
We will definitely come back if we have the opportunity!!
We enjoyed it here at the villas. It was very nice and clean! My sister and I (both over 50) also liked the location. You were off the main road so you didn't hear the traffic but yet you were close to shopping and restaurants. The pool was great and not crowded! We would highly recommend and if we are ever in the area we would definitely stay again!!
This place was wonderful! Very homey and quaint. Lots of room for the four of us. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable. Pool was wonderful. Never crowded. It was almost like a private pool. Also, the price was extremely reasonable for what we got. We will definitely stay there again!

text: We present a three-layered semantics of Timber, a language designed for programming real-time systems in a reactive, object-oriented style. The innermost layer amounts to a traditional deterministic, pure, functional language, around which we formulate a middle layer of concurrent objects, in terms of a monadic transition semantics. The outermost layer, where the language is married to deadline-driven scheduling theory, is where we define message ordering and CPU allocation to actions. Our main contributions are a formalized notion of a time-constrained reaction, and a demonstration of how scheduling theory, process calculii, and the lambda calculus can be jointly applied to obtain a direct and succinct semantics of a complex, real-world programming language with well-defined real-time behavior.

Years ago my buddy Matt took me out mountain biking in Durham Forest. It was my first time using clip-less pedals (a name I've never understood, as "clip-less" pedals are the only kind you clip into). Under practice conditions, I could snap my foot out of the clip-less pedals fine, but when I really needed to, such as when I was falling, the odds lowered to about 50%.
On one such occasion I was about to fall sideways into an evergreen tree, but rather than risk my delicate skin on the pines, I fell to the other side of the trail into what appeared to be an open clearing. Visually deceiving, the open clearing had the remnants of a small sapling – and I landed ass first into that damn stump. I've never admitted it publically, but I've avoided most real cycling ever since.
Fast forward 6 years, and Matt's invited me out to the Chico 24 hours of Summer Solstice – a 24 hour mountain bike race in the hills of Albion, Ontario. It's a 17km looping course that teams of 1-12 people (yeah, some go solo), try to tackle as many times as they can in a 24 hour period.
I arrived just in time for the start, which had been delayed two hours because of a downpour. So the 24 hour marathon had now become a simple 22 hour sprint. The race is the largest of its kind in North America, and loaded with a lot of first time racers who seem drawn to the energy and team/camping experience.
Many teams carry a laid back, "have fun" attitude, enjoying the capacity campsite and taking turns spinning out through the woods.
Matt's brother's team, 3 Rox Racing, hooked me up with one of their bikes, some gear, and a guide in team member Corey who took me for a lap around the track.
The course had some highly technical portions, and while I still knew how to pedal and steer a bike – trying to flip gears, brake, and avoid other riders on a wet course proved to be a challenge. The typical routine had me failing to pick up enough speed into an uphill, sliding off a tight turn as we descended, and thanking Corey for waiting up every few minutes.
I couldn't stick around for the night ride, but after navigating the forest and hills during the daytime, I think it'd be amazing to watch some riders tear through that course in the dead of the night with just a few lights guiding them.
Anyways, the experience has motivated me to inflate the tires on the old 18-speed, spray some WD-40 on the gears and invest in a non-purple helmet that's less than 10 years old. Keep an eye out for me near Heber Downs or up in Durham Forest.
