ION Audio Air LP and AIR CD - Troubleshooting Connections to Bluetooth® Speakers
The ION Audio Air LP and AIR CD allow you to wirelessly stream your favorite records or CDs to virtually any Bluetooth speaker. If you are having trouble setting up, this guide offers troubleshooting steps to help you get your AIR LP or AIR CD paired with your Bluetooth speaker.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connections with your Bluetooth Speaker
- Observe the Air LP/CD Bluetooth connection status
- No Connection/Not pairing - The pair light on the LP CD will be Off / The display on the Air CD will not read "BT"
- Actively Pairing - The Pair light on the Air LP will be continuously blinking / The Air CD will read a blinking "BT" on the display. The pairing process could take up to 30 seconds.
- Paired - The Air LP pair light will be lit a solid blue / The "BT" on the Air CD will be solid (not blinking) indicating that the Air LP/CD is connected with a Bluetooth speaker.
If you observe LED behavior that is NOT listed above, we recommend contacting ION technical support so they can assist you.
- Move Air LP/CD closer to your Bluetooth speaker
- Turn off both the speaker and Air LP/CD, then turn them both back on.
- Move each device close to each other. This should be within 30 feet (9.1m).
- Attempt to pair them again while they're close to each other.
- Make sure you have no other Bluetooth speakers powered on and in range of Air LP/CD
The Air LP/CD attempts to pair with the strongest and closest Bluetooth device available. To ensure that Air LP/CD pairs with your desired Bluetooth speaker, make sure all other nearby Bluetooth devices are turned off.
- Check that you are using a Bluetooth speaker and not another type of wireless speaker
There are different methods of streaming audio wirelessly. It is important to make sure that the speaker you are attempting to pair with the Air LP/CD is Bluetooth compatible. Some systems such as Apple TV and SONOS® use non-Bluetooth technology to stream audio. These products will not pair with Air LP/CD.
- Give Air LP/CD enough time to pair to your speaker
Distance, wireless interference, and signal strength can all affect how long it takes Air LP/CD to pair with your speaker. Occasionally, it may take a few minutes for the pairing process to complete, especially if you're pairing to a new speaker. Give Air LP/CD enough time to pair and pay attention to the Bluetooth connection status indicators.
- Power cycle Air LP/CD and your speaker
Some Bluetooth speakers only enter pairing mode for a limited time when they're powered on. Try turning both Air LP/CD and your speaker OFF and then ON again before trying to pair
- Make sure you are following the directions for your speaker
As mentioned above, some Bluetooth speakers enter pairing mode as soon as they are turned on, but others may require you to press a "pairing" button or more. For more information please reference the manual for your Bluetooth speaker.

New figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show there was a 12 per cent increase in the number of UK claims for research and development (R&D) tax credits in 2014-15.
R&D tax credits reduce a company's tax bill by an amount equal to a percentage of its allowable R&D spend. At present there are three possible schemes that businesses can use to claim R&D tax relief: the Small or Medium-Sized (SME) scheme; the Large Company Scheme; and Research and Development Expenditure Credits (RDEC).
The latest HMRC figures indicated there were 22,445 R&D tax credit claims for the 2014-15 financial year, directly from SMEs.
HMRC believes the increase in SME claims is "likely to reflect the continuing effect of the removal on April 1, 2012, of the rule limiting payable credits to the amount of a SME's PAYE/National Insurance liability and increase in the rate of enhanced expenditure for SMEs from 100 per cent to 125 per cent (allowing relief on 225 per cent of their expenditure) in 2012-13 and then 130 per cent in 2013-14".
The most common method for SMEs to claim R&D tax credits was through a deduction on their corporation tax liability. Some 10,925 claims were made through this avenue in the 2014-15 financial year, compared with the 3,485 claims made for a payable credit, which is claimed by companies that are making a loss and subsequently have no corporation tax liability to offset a deduction.
HMRC confirmed that since R&D tax credit schemes were first launched back in 2000-01, more than 141,000 claims have been made up until 2014-15, totalling almost £14bn in claimed tax relief.
Some 39,360 different businesses made R&D claims under the SME scheme by the end of the 2014-15 financial year, while 9,030 had submitted claims under the Large Company and RDEC schemes.
New figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show there was a 12 per cent increase in the number of UK claims for research and development (R&D) tax credits in 2014-15.

A new "ghost train" system is to be set up in prisons in England and Wales to move the most troublesome Islamic extremist inmates between isolation units, the justice secretary has indicated.
Liz Truss confirmed that specialist isolation units to hold the highest-risk prisoners would be created in high-security jails. She said the lessons of the Maze and Maghaberry prisons, which became hothouses for terrorists, had been studied.
"We have looked at what happened in Northern Ireland and the experience of other European countries who are facing a growth threat of extremism, as we are in Britain," Truss said.
A new Ministry of Justice directorate of security, order and counter-terrorism had been set up, she added. It would be responsible for ensuring that concentrating the most dangerous Islamist extremists into separate units would not simply allow them to create their own operational command structures, as happened in Northern Ireland.
"It will be the responsibility of the head of that directorate, who is a former prison governor, to make sure that we don't allow prisoners who could potentially collaborate with each other and cause problems," Truss told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "We don't want to allow that to fester. So people will be moved around and that will be an operational decision by the people who are the experts in dealing with counter-extremism."
One prison expert called it the "ghost train" approach, in reference to prison slang for the practice of moving the most difficult prisoners from one jail to another. It is also known as the "magic roundabout" or the "shared misery circuit".
The need to introduce a new system reflects the inherent problems in ending the 50-year-old policy of dispersing the most dangerous prisoners within the mainstream prison population in high-security prisons.
Truss was responding to a classified report on Islamic extremism in jails by Ian Acheson, a former Whitehall civil servant and ex-prison governor. He recently told MPs that the debate over concentration versus dispersal was the most difficult issue his review team had had to grapple with.
In her official response to the review, Truss reveals that five specific extremist "texts" identified by Acheson have been banned from prison libraries. But she does not spell out what criteria have been used to decide which books should be banned. "A thorough and objective process is in place to assess the extremist nature of concerning materials against existing criteria for inappropriate material," says the official response.
Truss has rejected three of the 11 recommendations made by Acheson in his classified report, of which only an 18-page summary has been published.
Acheson's proposal to ban attendance at the Friday prayers inside prisons by those who disrupt or abuse faith activity and to use innovative technology to provide an in-cell alternative has been rejected. The official response says governors can already ban subversive prisoners from Friday prayers and they do not want to "alter the provision of worship more generally or, for example, to pursue in-cell alternatives".
Truss has also rejected Acheson's first recommendation calling for an independent advisor on counter-terrorism in prisons, accountable directly to the justice secretary and responsible for an over-arching counter-extremism strategy. It is thought that Acheson himself might have been a candidate for this role, and Truss makes clear she want to use existing expertise "rather than relying on the appointment of a further independent adviser".
A third recommendation calling for a review of so-called rule 39 correspondence – covering communications between prisoners and their lawyers – is also rejected. The justice ministry says the evidence of the past year is that attempted abuses of this rule have almost always been by prisoners and their criminal associates rather than lawyers.
The Acheson review acknowledged that most of the 240 full-time, part-time and sessional Muslim prison chaplains were dedicated and did good and useful work. It said there was evidence of a weak understanding of Islamist extremists, including a lack of data on conversions and lack of management control over extremist literature and materials.
The review team noted that about two-thirds of Muslim chaplains followed the traditional and conservative Deobandi denomination and said this could be problematic if non-Deobandi chaplains and prisoners felt marginalised. The justice ministry said the "due diligence" tests for recruiting chaplains would be strengthened to "ensure we have the right people in place to counter extremist beliefs".

Since I learned how to hold a pencil in my hand, I've spent most of my time writing — that is, of course, if I wasn't reading — and as an adult, I am lucky to have made a career out of something I truly love. I put passion into everything I write, and whether it be a book review, a cooking tutorial, or catalog copy, my love for the written word is clear.
I love learning new things and meeting new people. When I'm not click-clacking on my computer's keyboard, I'm usually getting lost in the woods, hopping on a plane to somewhere I've never been, or trying out a new recipe.

I phoned regarding the screen size on my tv as the picture was cut off at the edges, Dave recommended that I call Sky because it could be a problem on the digibox. I called them and they talked me through the process to remedy the fault. I'm grateful for the free advice which saved me from calling out a technician. I really appreciate your assistance, thank you.
Brilliant from Dave. My 50" Plasma was up the spout and Dave managed to come out, give a competitive repair and have us up and running again within 24 hours. Very courteous and professional. Does exactly what you'd expect him to do and some.

Mike did a great job on two items we took in over a 2 week period. Firstly he couldn't find a problem with my amp that wasn't working. He could have made something up and charged me for it, but he was honest and gave me back my amp working👍. My second item was a large TV that needed a new motherboard. They sourced a new motherboard and fixed the TV within a week. Fantastic service and way cheaper than a new amp and TV.
We used Excellent Electrics to repair a Panasonic vacuum cleaner. They did a great job and quickly - the repair was done by the end of the following day. The estimate cost about £40 but this goes towards the cost of the labour for the repair. It hard been difficult to find a business able to do the repair and we were very pleased to find them.

This was a beautiful weekend to spend with our beautiful little babies!
Elizabeth rode her bike to the park. And I pulled Caroline in the wagon. It was really sunny, but also very chilly. One thing I love about our neighborhood is that we have our own park, but we also have a great one outside the neighborhood that's even closer. It never fails that we run into one of ourneighborhood friends when we go. This time, Elizabeth got to play with Laney.
Elizabeth decided to ride in the wagon on the way home. And apparently decided she needed a hat on top of her hood. That girl is so goofy!
Caroline was quit comfy laying on her big sister.
Here's a picture of me and my girls before church this morning. I love it when we're ready in enough time to snap a few pictures!

Teachers and students of Viet Nam National University's HCM City School for Gifted Students have anointed student Pham Tuan Huy as "the golden boy of mathematics".
The 18-year-old earned the title because of his remarkable record of awards in national mathematics contests as well as the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO).
Huy's teacher discovered that the boy had a passion for mathematics when he was only 12 years old.
"For me, math is always fun and serves as a great place for me to create and set up my own features," the boy revealed.
"The opportunity to work the way you want and do what you like develops your passion for the work. Math gives me such feelings and allows me to be myself."
Huy expressed the belief that what the teachers teach in the classroom is the most important knowledge. After finishing his homework, Huy often thinks carefully about the sources of the problem to remember it more and longer.
The student said that it was not necessary to do more homework but rather, to develop a deeper understanding of the exercises.
"Some problems are a combination of many different problems. The most important thing is finding the key to solve it," Huy said.
During his spare time, Huy often searches for reference books or surfs the Internet for materials to supplement his knowledge. Teachers and friends also serve as great references and sources from whom Huy learns.
Numerous exercises have given Huy headaches and have taken much of his time to solve, but he has refused to give up. With Huy, encountering such problems was necessary to explore and discover his capabilities.
In previous years, the results which Huy achieved in national and international examinations surprised him and made him quite happy.
Huy placed first in the entrance examination for the Mathematics Class of the HCM City School for Gifted Students.
He later won first prize in the City Contest for Mathematics in 2011 and the National Contest for Mathematics in 2012, as well as the gold medal in both the IMO in Columbia in 2013 and the IMO in South Africa this year.
Huy also received a certificate of merit from Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and was recognised as a model young citizen of HCM City last year.
After participating in international contests, Huy found out that although Viet Nam had fewer contestants than China or the United States, Vietnamese students' exertion, creation and national pride helped to motivate them to try harder and achieve more.
"I often tell myself and my friends that the contest is a small step in our lives. So whether we win high results or not, we should not give up. The important thing is that you learn and have more experiences. Do not put any pressure on achievement, and just try your best in the contest. Besides, you should always believe in yourself," remarked Huy.
Nguyen Trong Tuan, a math teacher of the HCM City School for Gifted Students who has taught Huy for three years, admitted that he was not surprised over Huy's success because so far, he has always proven to be an outstanding student.
"He's always eager to find something new while solving math exercises. Studying math is his happiness," Tuan observed.
Huy's father, Pham Chau Tuan, agreed, saying that doing math exercises had always been his son's biggest passion.
As Chau Tuan is busy all day, he does not have much time to coach his son. So the father buys books for his son to read at home.
"He sits all day upstairs solving math problems," Chau Tuan said. "My son goes downstairs only when he feels hungry and wants some food."
Huy only wanted to receive books as rewards for his work.
"He reads books everywhere he can. He brings a lot of math books with him when travelling as well," his father added.
Many talents
Besides his passion for math, Huy also loves social subjects, especially literature.
"Many people think studying math is usually dry, but for me, studying math requires a certain kind of imagination and romanticism to feel the attraction and beauty of the subject. High-falutin thinking sometimes helps me find surprise solutions to math problems," said Huy.
Friends also admire Huy for his ability to play the piano. He began studying how to play the piano when he was still in kindergarten and passed the entrance exam for the HCM City Conservatory of Music when he was only 10 years old. This passion was apparently passed down from his mother.
Huy won first prize at a Casio Festival in HCM City when he was only 11 years old.
He recalled feeling "very happy and surprised. My reward showed that a lot of people are expecting much of me. That urges me to try harder in school and in life in order to live up to people's expectations".
In September next year, Huy will go to the US to study at Stanford University. "Wherever I go, it is for sure that I will come back to Viet Nam to devote my time and talents to the service of my country," he said. — VNS

First Lady Melania Trump appeared at Ford's Theater's annual gala on Sunday night just two days after her husband President Donald Trump smashed conspiracy theories over why she would not be traveling with him to Canada and Singapore.
Mrs. Trump's Sunday participation in the gala was among the most visible appearances she has made since undergoing an embolization procedure for a benign kidney condition on May 14.
Thank you @Fordstheatre & the talented performers for a special evening celebrating the arts & the legacy of former President Lincoln. Congratulations to @jacknicklaus & Sheila Johnson, the recipients of the Lincoln Medal! pic.twitter.com/EEJLhLn5qb
— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) June 11, 2018
Media and internet conspiracy theories rose up as she recovered from the surgery, claiming that she had moved back to New York or was cozied up with the Obamas writing a tell-all about plastic surgery and her husband. Just 20 days into her recovery CNN ran a headline calling out her absence.
The first lady's Communications Director Stephanie Grisham condemned one senior news editor's suggestion of abuse between the president and first lady as "disgusting on many different levels," in a statement to Breitbart News.
Speculation mounted still as the president's trips to the G7 meeting in Canada and summit with North Korea in Singapore fast approached. Those speculations were smashed on Friday just before the President took off from the White House for the G7 summit. He told inquisitive reporters that "the First Lady is great." He said she had wanted to go, but that she couldn't fly for a month after her surgery on doctor's orders. "She had a big operation," he said, revealing that her surgery had lasted four hours.
The first lady made her first event appearance since surgery to honor gold star families at the White House last week. The event was closed to the press in respect for the families' privacy.
At Sunday night's gala honoring former President Abraham Lincoln, the first lady served as Honorary Chair. She delivered remarks at the end of performances, thanking the theater and performers, according to the first lady's office.
"I was honored to be part of such a special evening," said the first lady. "Tonight reminds all of us about the power the arts have in cultivating the American voice. Thank you to Ford's Theatre Society for tonight, and your continued dedication to education and leadership in the arts—the impact they have on society is invaluable and something we will continue to cherish throughout time."
Mrs. Trump "congratulated the recipients of this year's Lincoln Medal – an annual award given to people who have exemplified the legacy of President Lincoln through their achievements and bodies of work," according to the first lady's office.

A partnership led by Humankind and including Spectrum CIC and Changing Lives has been successful in renewing its contract to provide the North Yorkshire Horizons drug and alcohol recovery service.
The new five year contract, awarded by North Yorkshire County Council, begins on 1st October, 2019, will run until October 2024 and may be extended for a further five years after that.
The Horizons service, which last month was awarded "outstanding" status by the Care Quality Commission, sees some 2,900 clients each year in town centre hubs in Northallerton, Harrogate, Skipton, Scarborough and Selby. Its workers also conduct outreach sessions in rural areas including Malton, Whitby, Tadcaster, Sherburn, Thirsk, Great Ayton and Catterick.
Ted Haughey, Humankind's Executive Director of Operations, North East and North Yorkshire, said: "We are absolutely delighted to continue to lead this high profile and innovative service for the people of North Yorkshire.
"This is marvellous news for our service users, our dedicated staff and volunteers and for Humankind and its partners, Spectrum CIC and Changing Lives.
"We are ambitious for the future of North Yorkshire Horizons and we will continue to provide the best possible service with honesty, commitment and innovation for our clients."
The existing contract for North Yorkshire Horizons has run since October, 2014. Humankind runs other drug and alcohol misuse services in County Durham and South Tyneside with Spectrum. And has similar high profile recovery services in Sunderland, Leeds, Barnsley and the Halifax area.
Dr Linda Harris, Chief Executive Officer, Spectrum Community Health CIC and clinical partner in North Yorkshire Horizons: "We're so happy that North Yorkshire Horizons have been awarded this contract and that our organisation can continue our work in partnership, working with Humankind and Changing Lives to build on our strong foundations and track record of service excellence to deliver truly effective services for the citizens of North Yorkshire
"The whole Spectrum team are excited to continue to work within a partnership that recognises the importance of personalised care and the integral role of family, friends, peers and other professionals as well as wider local partnerships in supporting individuals on their journey from drug or alcohol misuse to recovery."
Becky Elton, Executive Director Operations at Changing Lives, said: "Changing Lives is delighted to be working in partnership with Humankind and Spectrum CIC to continue and enhance services for people recovering from addiction in North Yorkshire.
"We are looking forward to helping more people to work towards recovery, find meaning for themselves outside of addiction and reconnect with their own communities and recovery communities across the county."

10 Tasks to Accomplish Before Fall's Arrival
I know it is hard to believe when today's high is going to be 94 degrees. But the first day of fall is officially Saturday September 22nd. The days are getting shorter and the nights will get cooler very soon. Perform these 10 tasks now to get your home ready for the cooler months ahead!
1. Fix Cracks in Concrete and Asphalt. There may not be a lot of weekends left that will be warm and sunny enough to repair sidewalk and driveway cracks.
2. Clean Out the Gutters. This needs to be done annually. A few hours of preventative maintenance can avert problems later on. While you are up there, visually inspect your roof for damaged shingles, vents and flashing.
3. Start Composting If you don't have compost bins, now is the time to purchase or build some. Composted Autumn leaves will be great for your garden next summer!
4. Plant Bulbs for Spring Plant bulbs in late October to reap spring rewards. Be sure to select a spot that gets full sun during the day!
5. Clean Outdoor furnishings and Gardening Tools In Oklahoma it is not time to put them away, but a good cleaning now will mean less work once the weather gets too cold!
6. Inspect Windows and Doors Check weather stripping by opening a door, placing a piece of paper in the entryway and closing the door. If the paper slides back and forth easily, your weather stripping needs to be replaced.
7. Prepare a Mud Area in Your Home. Even if you don't have mudroom, organize and stock your entryway to serve as a mudroom for cold and wet weather. Put down an indoor/outdoor rug to protect the floor. Donate any unused Coats to charity to make room in the Hall closet for this year's outerwear!
8. Clean the Fireplace and Chimney. Clean out the fireplace, inspect the flue, and ensure doors and shields are sound. If needed, make an appointment with a Chimney Sweep for a professional cleaning and inspection.
9. Bring Light into Your Home. Clean windows and blinds to accentuate natural light. Add lighting to darker spaces with new lamps. Replace traditional light bulbs with new, energy efficient bulbs.
10. Prepare Your Furnace for Upcoming Winter. Visually inspect your furnace and replace the filter before turning it on the first time. Consider getting your furnace professionally serviced for maximum efficiency during the winter months.

Health Scares Won't Halt Hamburger Craving
- By Scott Bauer
- Oct. 22 1997 00:00
Italians may have pasta, the French may have their wines. Americans love their hamburgers. And a recent contamination scare isn't going to change that.
"There's something about eating a big bite of hamburger," said Sam Ross, former manager of King's Drive In, a Lincoln, Nebraska, fast-food restaurant dating back to the 1960s. "It's something you can chow down on."
Since the 1940s, hamburgers have been America's favorite food, according to Nation's Restaurant News. There were 5.4 billion hamburgers and cheeseburgers served in commercial restaurants in 1996, that is up 3.8 percent from the previous year.
Ross said burger sales make up 75 percent of King's business -- about 300 burgers a day.
He said business did not slow even with the E. coli contamination scare that led to the recall of 11.36 million kilograms of ground beef from a Columbus, Nebraska, plant -- the largest meat recall in the nation's history.
No lag in beef sales was reported across the country, even though the contaminated hamburger sickened more than a dozen people in Colorado.
The hamburger's roots can be traced back to the tribes of Tartars living in the Baltic provinces in the Middle Ages. German trading partners developed the Hamburg steak -- fried beef seasoned with onions -- and brought it to America in the 1700s and 1800s.
While stories vary on just how the Hamburg steak evolved into the present-day hamburger, the hamburger as we know it today gained widespread attention at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, where it was said to be all the rage.

Millions of consumers blindly pay credit card interest year after year, seemingly oblivious to the fact that there is no need to do so. Every single time a credit card is used which carries an APR above 0% then interest is charged on the total balance unless it is paid off in full each month. Many people are unaware that when they use their credit card to obtain cash the advertised APR on the card isn't the amount charged, but a much higher rate as stated in the terms and conditions, sometimes almost 30%.
Servicing the credit card bill with a minimum payment increases the debt carried on the credit card and leaves people paying interest on interest. If you find yourself in this situation take the time to study your statements and work out just how much you've wasted in unnecessary interest payments to your credit card provider, and think what you could have done with that money. It may well shock you into never carrying a balance again.
There are two ways to stop paying interest on a credit card. The first is to never carry a monthly balance but to pay the card off in full each month. This is good practice and makes the APR on the credit card completely immaterial. Simply use the card only for amounts you know you can clear in full on a monthly basis and this will help to keep your credit score in good order too.
The second way to stop paying credit card interest is only applicable if you carry a current balance which you are paying interest on. Take a 0% balance transfer card and transfer all your current debts onto it. As you won't be paying interest on the card the interest rate after the introductory period will be immaterial and you should look for a balance transfer card with the longest introductory period you can find. One the balance is transferred destroy the new balance transfer card and begin to aggressively pay down the balance.
You should aim to pay off the debt by the time the introductory 0% rate expires. Make a note of the date when the introductory offer expires and if your calculations show that the debt will not be paid off by this time then be prepared to become a 'rate tart' and look for another balance transfer card. Do this at least a month before the current cards 0% offer expires, and transfer the remaining balance. You will be liable for balance transfer fees but as long as the balance transfer cards are used only to pay down debt then the expense is usually justified.
Paying interest on your purchases is quite frankly a mugs game and should be avoided at all costs. If you are aware of how not to pay interest it will become second nature and your purchases will cost you the price you actually pay, rather than the price plus x amount of interest accruing more interest. When all is in order you should then look to obtain a credit card which will effectively pay you for using it rather than the other way round, by sourcing a good cash back credit card.

text: This is Jack sitting on the porch waiting for my daughter to come home. I wonder what goes through his mind…"she left me again she might not come back this time i'll be alone who will feed me i love the way she smells i wonder if that's her car i'm not moving until she comes home unless that other woman gives me a rawhide." Don't we all spend some metaphorical time sitting on a porch waiting for someone to come home? Someone who will have all the answers, who will take care of us, who will turn on that soul switch when they walk in the door. Jack's needs/wants are so close to the surface. Most of us spend our lives practicing how to hide those feelings, because we think we're the only ones who have them. Lucky Jack — he never learned how to save face or look cool.

The final day and today we take the relatively short journey (just a couple of hours this one) to visit Finca San francisco Tecuamburro and the perfect host Sergio. You can always tell its going to be a party day when at 10 o'clock in the morning your sitting in the back of a pickup truck drinking ice cold beer from a draft tap that's been fitted especially for your visit. The journey is not so long but twice as rough. I didn't realise 4×4 's could go up such slopes.
We arrive to a big welcome of some friends we met at dinner the previous evening. We wind up Sergio about his Germany football baseball hat to chants of "Mexico Mexico". I managed to collect some really "bad" hats (read bad as sooo bad they become good) and we swap (until I feel bad for Sergio wearing a woolly hat in the hot sun).
The farm is so beautiful and a real culture shock from the El Bosque farm yesterday. Both produce awesome coffee (it's a big favourite of Monmouth if its need any bigger accolade), because of the people involved in producing it. This week has taught me this is one of the most important factors in producing special coffee special people. I'm questioning everything I've ever thought about coffee this is a real education in ethical buying.
We go to the main heat of the Finca, where the coffee is growing and again we get a chance to pick. This time it's on our own. Green bean Richard wins the day again but on the quantity I get in a zone where I just keep going and going I really enjoy it shut out the rest of the world just me and the plant that has taken over my life and defines who I am. One of my best moments of a entire trip.
We then return to the house to yet another big feed (they like their food) and just sit and relax. This is great lovely weather and great company.
The journey back to the farm I get some time to think and evaluate the trip. Truly life changing Such nice people and I bet behind each other bean we sell someone just as nice (and lots we don't). The decisions we make are vitally important. There will be some changes over the coming months which I feel will be for the best.
This evening we go for a meal with some of the people we met and some people who's famr we couldn't get too. I got to meet the Entri Rios lady who was delightful. Readers of the blog know my love for El Salvador, so when I got to meet the owner of La Fany and El Bourbollon. One would have been enough but two, I was like and exited school boy I don't think they knew what hit them. Luckily there English was better than my Spanish. We socialised to the point they had to force us to sit down and eat something.
I hope you have enjoyed the posts, boy I need a blogging break, but the photos are on there way soon to share, so that will be my next post.

senjaPelangi holic..
Today, i want to share about art, letter, and true story. Would you like read my post? Yes, really? Ok, stay cool in area 🙂
Guys, you know about Helen Keller? No? Oh no! That's not funny, you know!! Cause, who's don't know about her? She is most famous in this world? She is inspring people for decade? Ya, i think so.. But, you must know that arround people in the world is inspiring for me and us..
Oke, let's check her profil on wikipedia.com:
Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Her family lived on a homestead, Ivy Green, that Helen's grandfather had built decades earlier. Helen's father, Arthur H. Keller, spent many years as an editor for the Tuscumbia North Alabamian and had served as a captain for the Confederate Army. Helen's paternal grandmother was the second cousin of Robert E. Lee.Helen's mother, Kate Adams, was the daughter of Charles Adams. Though originally from Massachusetts, Charles Adams also fought for the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, earning the rank of brigadier-general.
Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf; it was not until she was 19 months old that she contracted an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain", which might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. The illness did not last for a particularly long time, but it left her deaf and blind. At that time, she was able to communicate somewhat with Martha Washington, the six-year-old daughter of the family cook, who understood her signs; by the age of seven, she had over 60 home signs to communicate with her family.
In 1886, her mother, inspired by an account in Charles Dickens' American Notes of the successful education of another deaf and blind woman, Laura Bridgman, dispatched young Helen, accompanied by her father, to seek out Dr. J. Julian Chisolm, an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist in Baltimore, for advice. He subsequently put them in touch with Alexander Graham Bell, who was working with deaf children at the time. Bell advised the couple to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind, the school where Bridgman had been educated, which was then located in South Boston. Michael Anaganos, the school's director, asked former student Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired and only 20 years old, to become Keller's instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship, Sullivan evolving into governess and then eventual companion.
Ok. stop it! Next, i want to share about masterpiece based on true stroy Helen Keller. As i know, two masterpiece born from her story. In India, who's don't know #BLACK (2005) Movie? Yes, Black is one of masterpiece adapted by Hellen's story.
Check it out: <a href="http://
I have wrote some quote from Black movie. This quote presented by Rani Mukherjee as Michelle, when she standing on the graduation stage 🙂
"Black is not only darkness and suffocation. It is the color of achievment. The color of knowledge. The color of graduation robe. The calor that we all share today. But there is a difference between you and me. Today you all wear this to celebrate graduation. But not me. Because i want my teacher to be the fist one to see me. Wear this black robe."
And then, let's check second masterpiece in Indonesia. Yeah, allow me to introduce the best novel "Moga Bunda Disayang Allah" crated by Tere Liye.
Oke, share is over. Oya, i'm forget, i wanna share about my experience when my graduation. Maybe this story like a Helen's story. There are graduate who were given an ovation by the people. Because her graduated, although he was blind. That was incredible! So, do not make deficiency as a weakness. Make it as something special that God gave to us.
Ok, finish.

Weekly Economic Report 9.1.2017
KEY MARKET INDICATORS as of Sep 01, 2017
August Jobs Report
Job growth slowed in August, but the labor market remained healthy and in full employment. Employers added 156,000 jobs during the month, below the 176,000 jobs per month pace for the past 8 months. The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.4%. Wage growth was unchanged at 2.5%. This report does not cover the period of Hurricane Harvey. We will see Harvey's impact on the labor market from next month's jobs report.
The slower job growth for August occurred in the services sector, which is now a much more important part of the economy both in terms of the overall number of jobs and job market growth. Tourism (leisure and hospitality – up 4,000 jobs in August), education and health (up 25,000 jobs), and professional and business services generated 69,000 jobs during the month, well down from the 124,000 jobs per month pace seen in the first 7 months of 2017. The bright spots this month included manufacturing, which added 36,000 jobs; and construction, which added 28,000 jobs. Construction has been the fastest growing sector in the economy in the past 12 months in terms of growth rate, thanks to the rapid growth in housing-related jobs.
The job market continues to be very positive for potential first-time homebuyers. Unemployment rate for people in the primary homebuying age (25-34 and 35-44) was 4.2% in August, near the lowest point in the cycle.

Op-ed: Opening the cell door to re-entry
There hasn't been a lot of good news out of Washington lately, given the state of politics and the growing divisiveness between Americans. But there is change afoot in the nation's capital that will likely impact every community across the United States: Congress and the White House have teamed up to ease draconian sentencing laws that have left our prisons overcrowded and unsafe while doing little to keep individuals out of prison once they are released.
Known as the First Step Act, this legislation, which was passed in the House last May by a vote of 360 to 59 and now awaits passage in the Senate, will reshape the current federal prison in-take system by effectively assessing an inmate's needs and linking them to community and faith-based programs before they complete their sentences.
The bill prevents individuals from recidivating back to prison through programs and services to help them find jobs, housing, counseling, and a viable plan to help them reconnect with their families. The president in recent weeks has publicly praised all the elements of the bill and has urged the Senate to pass the legislation as soon as possible. Its passage comes at a unique time when the president is expected to introduce a massive infrastructure bill that could result in hundreds of thousands of jobs for all Americans, including the formally incarcerated.
There are 2.3 million Americans behind bars, including 1,316,000 in state prison, 225,000 in federal prisons, and almost 50,000 in youth detention facilities across the United States, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. More than 625,000 will leave prison after serving their entire sentence or because of probation. The number of people currently on probation is a staggering 3.7 million, a figure also based on PPI's research.
It's not hard to see why this bill had strong bipartisan support, especially given the inordinate number of people in prison. For too long we made rehabilitation a dirty word from which politicians on both sides of the aisle shunned. Instead, we opted for punitive sentencing with little or no in-prison programs to help them learn a trade, get an education, or simply find the right path once they were released.
That mindset evolved for several reasons; first, we can no longer afford to house low-level nonviolent prisoners. According to the Vera Institute of Justice, incarceration costs an average of more than $31,000 per inmate, per year, including the feeding, housing, and security of prisoners. In some states, the cost is $60,000 per inmate.
Second, we've begun to explore effective pre-release and community re-entry programs that provide a cost-benefit to taxpayers. In Connecticut, where the inmate population stands at 13,500, we've begun pre-release re-entry programs. My organization begins working with inmates, mostly young people, six months prior to their release and for a period of up to a year following their release from prison. Similar to other pre-release programs, we provide skills training for job opportunities, case management to address emotional or addictive behaviors, and we help them to think about soft skills training such as learning to manage their money prior to getting a job.
Make no mistake: people who commit horrific crimes should be held accountable by laws that govern those actions. The First Step Act is geared toward those people who've committed low-level nonviolent crimes, which often involve the sale of drugs. The research on such programs has been positive; a 2014 report by the University of Cincinnati concluded "that reentry programs that initiated treatment while the offenders were incarcerated and continued into the community had a greater impact on recidivism than programs that were limited to pre- or post-release."
That the bill was sponsored by Hakeem Jeffries, a liberal Democrat from New York, and Doug Collins, a staunch Georgia Republican, speaks to the ideological bridge forged by two members of the House who see how federal and state sentencing laws have torn apart families and whole communities.
For the greater part of our nation's history we've slammed the door shut on the idea that formerly incarcerated individuals can become responsible, productive members of society. It's time for us to begin opening the door to changes that we know will make it possible for community re-entry to work.

Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo recently revealed that they're having a baby girl, and TLC gave Counting On fans an inside look at the couple's baby shower. Photos from the event show that it was ballet-themed, and this detail has become a hot topic of discussion on the Keeping Up With the Fundies Tumblr. Jinger's family frowns upon dancing of any kind, so it's definitely unusual to see the Duggars surrounded by figures of dancing women.
The decor for Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo's baby shower included large cut-outs of ballet slippers and pink ballerinas wearing tutus. Tiny ballerinas also danced atop the floral bouquets decorating the tables, and the couple's guests were served slices of a two-tier cake that was topped with a pair of ballet shoes made out of pink fondant. One fan wondered whether the choice of a ballerina theme means that Jinger and Jeremy would ever consider letting their daughter take dance classes.
It's doubtful that the Duggar family has ever attended ballet, and it's highly unlikely that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar would ever let any of their daughters take ballet lessons. During an interview with Beliefnet, the parents of 19 revealed that they do not allow their children to dance, watch other people dance, or listen to music that makes them want to dance.
Jim Bob explained that he and Michelle put the dancing ban in place because "when a guy sees a girl dance, it really can be defrauding to a guy, especially if they're dressed immodestly." To the Duggars, "defrauding" means "building up sensual desires that you cannot rightfully fulfill." The Duggars also have a strict dress code that requires the women in the family to wear modest clothing that keeps them covered from the neck to the knees. Additionally, their outfits can't be too tight or show too much shoulder, so leotards and tights are definitely out of the question.
Now that Jinger Duggar is married, she doesn't have to follow her parents' rules. It's up to her and Jeremy Vuolo to decide whether they'll allow their daughter to take ballet classes. However, fans who want this to happen shouldn't get too excited about the Counting On stars' baby shower theme. The parents-to-be had no part in planning the event, nor did any member of the Duggar family. According to People, a couple that Jinger and Jeremy are friends with surprised them with the baby shower.
Then again, Jinger did wear skinny jeans for the first time after she married Jeremy, so it's possible that someday Duggar fans will see the couple's daughter rocking a tutu and performing in her first ballet recital.

FAQs on BioFuel and Jathropa
What is a Biofuel?
Biofuel is any fuel that is derived from organic matter. It is a renewable source of energy unlike any other resources such as petroleum, coal and nuclear fuels. One advantage of Biofuel in comparison to most other fuel types is its biodegradability, and thus rendering it relatively harmless to the environment if spilled. It is made from biomass and primarily used for motive, thermal and power generation, with quality specifications in accordance with the Philippine National Standards (PNS).
What is an Alternative Fuel?
Alternative fuels are fuels that are not composed substantially of petroleum and thus, are alternatives to petroleum. As a substitute to this "traditional" fuel, it is expected to yield significant energy security and environmental benefits to its consumers.
Methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols blended with gasoline, diesel or other fuels are alternative fuels. Those that act as substitutes to petroleum, such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen, and coal-derived liquid fuels are also considered as alternative fuels, as are fuels derived from biological materials and electricity.
Is there any agricultural products that can be tapped for biofuel use?
Agricultural products specifically grown for use as biofuels include:
- Corn
- Soybeans
- Cassava
- Sugarcane
- Sweet Sorghum
- Coconut
- Jatropha
What is the Alternative Fuels Program?
Energy Independence Agenda, which outlines the roadmap that willThe Alternative Fuels Program is one of the five (5) key components of the government's lead to the country's attainment of 60% energy self-sufficiency by 2010.
What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradeable fuel extracted from plant oils. It is a natural hydrocarbon with little sulfur content, and can be used in diesel engines (in lower blends) without any need for engine modification.
The Philippines is the first country to use coconut as a source or feedstock for biodiesel, thus the inception of the government's Coco-Biodiesel Program. Coco-biodiesel, or Coco-Methyl Ester (CME), is produced from the transesterification of coconut oil, using methyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. This process forces out the unwanted components (such as glycerine) in the oil, which could cause the gumming and clogging of fuel systems and eventually lead to engine failure in the long term.
Why use CME?
Blending CME into diesel seeks to reduce importation of petroleum products, which will turn into foreign exchange savings for the country. Initial estimates show that with the use of 1% biodiesel blend, foreign exchange savings from the country's transport sector alone will amount to about US$23 million in 2007. This figure is expected to increase to US$49 million once the 2% biodiesel blend is implemented two years after.
Aside from foreign exchange savings, CME also has the potential to improve engine performance and consequently, air quality.
And because of CME's unique properties such as lubricity, detergency and solvency, using CME will restore engine efficiency and optimize its combustion, translating to an average of 17% additional mileage for your vehicle.
What is the current demand for CME in the country?
At present, local demand for CME is estimated at 980,000 liters per annum, representing the CME requirements of government agencies' vehicles. This is equivalent to 1.7% of the total CME production capacity.
What is the current supply of CME in the country?
Existing capacity for producing coco-biodiesel is estimated at 111 million liters per annum. This supply is from three (3) firms accredited by the DOE to produce CME. This combined capacity is enough to meet the projected 40 million liters of CME needed by the transport sector in 2007.
What other feedstock for Biodiesel is being considered by the government?
To ensure sustainability of the biodiesel program, the government is presently studying other feedstocks such as Jatropha Curcas or "Tuba-Tuba" as a potential source for local biodiesel production.
What is Jatropha Curcas?
Jatropha Curcas is a non-edible plant that grows mostly in tropical countries like the Philippines. Jatropha Curcas is resistant to drought and can easily be planted or propagated through seeds or cuttings. It starts producing seeds within 14 months, but reaches its maximum productivity level after 4-5 years. The plant remains useful for around 30-40 years.
As potential source for biodiesel, the Jatropha plant can produce an oil content of 30-58%, depending on the quality of the soil where it is planted. Its seeds yield an annual equivalent of 0.75 to 2 tons of biodiesel per hectare.
Based on a March 2006 study commissioned by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), potential areas for jatropha plantation in the Philippines is at 2 million hectares. If farmers will be encouraged to plant even in field boundaries or hedges and to practice intercropping, a total of 5 million hectares can be utilized for the jatropha plant.
With 1.1 million hectares dedicated to jatropha, 5.5 million metric tons (MMT) of biodiesel feedstock can be produced. Five million hectares can yield up to 25 MMT of biodiesel feedstock.
At present, a total of 360 hectares of land are planted with Jatropha in the country, found in the following areas: 200 hectares in General Santos, 27 hectares in Camarines Sur, 120 hectares in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija, 5 hectares in Dacong Cogon, Negros Occidental, and aside from locally-grown jatropha in Quezon Province.
Why use Jatropha?
Benefits of jatropha as biodiesel include the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as of the country's oil imports. Local production of jatropha is also practical because as a non-food crop, it will not compete with food supply demands. It can also grow on marginal and degraded land, leaving prime agricultural lots for food crops while at the same time restoring the marginal and degraded land's fertility.
What are the current government initiatives on Jatropha?
Government is taking careful, measured steps in exploring the use of jatropha as biodiesel feedstock, as the following initiatives show:
The PNOC EDC has a 5-hectare pilot plantation in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental, which is being carried out in partnership with D1 Oils Asia Pacific, a subsidiary of D1 Oils Plc of the United Kingdom, and the Dacongcogon Producers' Cooperative and Marketing Association, an agricultural cooperative based in Negros Occidental.
Preparatory phase of other PNOC-EDC jatropha field trials in its geothermal project sites in Leyte, Negros Oriental, Sorsogon and Kidapawan, North Cotabato are currently on-going for the agronomic requirements and site conditions of jatropha, while the DOE works to draft the implementing rules and regulations of the Biofuels Law.
The Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) also sent a team to India last April 2006 to study the different agriculture and production technologies of India, which is already using Jatropha for Biodiesel production. Other institutions, such as the University of the Philippines-Los Baños Agriculture Department, are also currently studying the different varieties of jatropha and its agriculture management, systems and production technology. Most recently, the PNOC Board approved the 2007 budget of the PNOC Alternative Fuels Corporation (PNOC-AFC), which will be allocated for the funding of jatropha mega nurseries, as investment share in the planned biodiesel refinery, and for research and development activities.
The DOE's current research and development efforts are also focused on testing the oil production capacities of local jatropha varieties, to determine which of them will produce the most oil for biodiesel. Two local varieties of jatropha are now being studied for local propagation, namely "tuba-tuba" (jatropha curcas) and "tapul".
The Technical Committee on Petroleum Products and Additives (TCPPA) has also started formulating the Jatropha biodiesel standards that will allow the high-quality local production of Jatropha biodiesel.
What are the other uses of Jatropha?
The use of jatropha on the village level is also a possible application, and government is considering the village-level production potential of jatropha for firing cooking stoves. The "village-level production potential" refers to the process where the community could extract jatropha fuel without esterification, and directly use the extracted fuel oil to fire cooking stoves. The development of such an extraction technology, however, has yet to be assessed. Further study is also being done on this process and its impacts to health, as the toxicity of its emission has yet to be determined.

Ruby kite is always original with limited editions that stand-out as truly unique in a world of mass production.
