Than Hitt is a biologist. Ben Combee is a developer of embedded software for smart TVs. What do they have in common? They're solar!
People have different reasons for going solar. Some are interested in saving money, some protecting the environment. Others want to be independent of the power grid or just show off their cool solar panels and brag about their energy production on Facebook. But really, deep down, it's not about the intellectual reasons. It's not the rationale. It's a matter of character.
We've found that people don't go solar, they are solar. Being solar is caring for a friend or neighbor, offering to clear the table and coaching a little league team. It's taking out the trash, hosting a foreign exchange student and being grateful for the big and the little things in life. Be solar. It feels good.

This article constitutes Part 2 of a series of articles covering our CA's Agile Vendor Pool RFI response process. In the previous article, we focused on our user-centric approach and how we responded to the first seven plays from the Digital Services Playbook. In this article, we will dive deeper into our team's open-source tool stack.
Our development team formed quickly to meet CA's Vendor Agile Pool RFI requirements – and build a notification service based on open-source tools. We used an Agile approach, and we designed the solution to scale and distribute using modern open-sourced DevOps tools and techniques. We had about three weeks.
Given the necessity to default to modern open-source software for the solution, our technical team began brainstorming on the right product stack during our "Architecture Sprint." In this initial sprint, we bolted together the following open-source product mix:
- .NET Core
- MySQL
- Angular.js
- Bootstrap
- jQuery
- Report.js
- Leaflets
- JWT for authentication
- MySqlConnector
- xUnit for unit testing
- Docker
These open-sourced products represent all architectural layers necessary to complete the application (frontend, backend, etc.). In addition to meeting the goal of using open-source tools to develop our prototype, our team also integrated the open-source tool from tree.tiaga.io for our project management needs. This allowed us to document and share the sprints, user stories, and tasks with the entire team.
At the center of our development tool choice was Microsoft's .NET Core. This open-source tool is a modular and high performance implementation of .NET for creating web applications and services that can run on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. Our team's expertise with C# and the productivity afforded by the Visual Studio Community made this an ideal choice for our REST API needs.
This screenshot shows the build-time test functionality available in Visual Studio. Using XUnit and Visual Studio test projects, developers can quickly markup test methods for Visual Studio to automatically run at build time eliminating any extra steps for testing. Deployment can also be connected to the results of the tests only allowing deployment to complete if all test cases pass. Details for the results of the test cases are also easily accessible to developers helping them resolve build and test errors.
We elected to use xUnit as our open-source library for testing C# code so that our testing suite could be built directly into Visual Studio. This was an important consideration; it increased our reliability when testing the service layer. Our team had a great experience with xUnit and Visual Studio. We had continuous integration and automation testing during this short project. This area of the development world has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Being able to build software and simultaneously run all test cases ensures code quality at tremendous speed. This increases developer productivity, reduces bug fix cycle times and immensely raises the quality of software.
Perhaps the most established open-source tool that our team used was MySQL. It is hard to refute their website's claim to be the "world's most popular open-source database," its popularity is a testament to its usability. Our team was able to rapidly build a robust Azure-based MySQL environment to serve as the backbone of our data-driven prototype.
Selecting MySQL also allowed us to leverage the MySQL Connector for .NET Core, another excellent open-source library that connects .NET Core to MySQL using an ADO.NET-style implementation. Our team knew we could implement these tools for an efficient, and easily maintainable, data layer. The team ultimately opted to avoid an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) because of the need to efficiently handle large data sets – in this case, of alerts and emergency data.
Token-based authentication has become the de facto standard in web development to deliver stateless and session-less applications with REST APIs and other services. For us, using tokens meant that our application could easily be evolved into native or hybrid mobile apps and even authenticate with other APIs that could consume our data. This meant greater ease of use and expansion of features for our users and IT teams alike. We chose to adhere to the IETF 7519 standard of JSON Web Token, or JWT, for our token system. JWT is a compact, URL-safe, means of transferring claims between parties. JWT is widely considered the ideal token authentication design.
After selecting .NET Core and MySQL to power our service and data layers, and JWT to secure access, the architects focused on selecting UI components. Modern web development has shifted to make Single Page Applications and toolsets easily available. It is easier than ever to generate beautiful, loosely-coupled, highly-testable websites quickly and efficiently.
Ultimately, the team selected Angular as the frontend framework. We were able to create modular and highly reusable components quickly. Angular is also easily extended with Bootstrap, an excellent responsive theme framework that we selected to make the prototype available on virtually any type and size device. The native touch friendliness and responsive formatting that Bootstrap is famous for made it the best choice for our application.
jQuery is a JavaScript library that greatly speeds up JavaScript development. We used it sparingly layered into our Angular UI to solve some key deficiencies of Angular. We also used Reports.js and Leaflet to visualize key data elements. Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. This allowed the functional administrators to easily consume an enormous amount of data quickly; enabling them to visually select an area and easily send out critical alerts.
With a mandate of deploying to any scalable hosting environment, our team turned to Docker to containerize the application. This approach allowed us to build a scalable container with only the necessary software decoupled from the operating system. With the installed Docker toolset, our team was able to leverage the containers to quickly scale and deploy to any environment. This key take-away is that this directly eased our testing and development workload.
The final decision our team needed to determine was which production environment to use. The team selected Azure. There were several critical factors that lead us to choose Azure, including:
- our team's familiarity with the platform & tools,
- the availability of a mature DevOps toolset to allow continuous deployment, continuous monitoring, and log file management, and
- its service-based environment allowed us to automatically scale the system to meet demand.
An overriding theme to the open-source initiative is to develop software by and for the user community. To this end, our team used Swagger to document our RESTful APIs. This framework allowed us to describe our API with a common vocabulary in a way that would allow other developers to use our messaging and data services.
This prototype proved that an experienced development team could quickly come together to meet a hack-a-thon type development challenge and build a notification service based on open-source tools, with an Agile approach that could scale and be distributed using modern open-sourced DevOps tools and techniques.

New York Gets Gritty | Elias Wessel | Love Zone/
References to New York in the 70s, when the city teetered on the brink of financial default but was prolifically creative, are popping up in art and fashion media. These 'Love Zone' photographs by Elias Wessel featuring Tatyana Usova, in new magazine FutureClaw made me think of Max's Kansas City and a dirtier, grittier New York.
In the midst of its tackiness, with panhandlers asking well-heeled New Yorkers for money — sometimes five times in a single block, a more bohemian New York was culturally richer.
Perhaps the financial pressures of this deep recession and Apple's relentless determination to unlock our artistic creativity will stimulate the city once again.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes Roy Hodgson will find it difficult to leave teenager Raheem Sterling out of England's World Cup squad due to his "sensational" form.
Sterling has shone in recent months, and the injury to Theo Walcott has created an opening for wide midfielders eager to go to Brazil.
Gerrard believes that Sterling possesses the necessary attributes to become an international star, and has called on the 19-year-old to grasp an ideal opportunity between now and the end of the season.
"He's in top form at a fantastic time," Gerrard said. "I'm obviously disappointed for Theo with his injury but I'm sure Roy Hodgson is looking out for who is going to replace him and Raheem's performances of late have been sensational.
"There are many candidates. Aaron Lennon's playing well. There is Andros Townsend and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's back, but if you are looking at like-for-like – pace down the wing and someone who can make, score and create – then Raheem has got a fantastic chance."
Sterling appeared to have gone out of the reckoning earlier in the season when he was struggling for opportunities at Anfield and returned to England Under-21 duty.
Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, has repeatedly urged the teenager to prioritise his career over the many distractions that come the way of youngsters who earn too much, too soon.
All the observations since Sterling's return to the first team before Christmas have been positive, and Gerrard says the dip his team-mate endured was understandable.
"You've got to understand his age. He's learning the game. He's got a fantastic manager to help him through that," he said. "He's only 19 and you are going to suffer a dip in form. Who doesn't have a dip at 19 years of age?
"But the mark of a good player and how good any player is going to be is how they come back from that. Can he react? To come back the way he has, he's been one of our most consistent players in the last couple of months. He's been brilliant.
"I think he knows what the situation is. I said to him after the Stoke game 'if you keep your performance at that level and you are going to make it very difficult for Roy Hodgson not to take you'.
"Hopefully he can build on the confidence from his recent performances and finish the season really strongly. He's got all the tools to do it, it's up to him now. If you are a full-back you don't want to play against pace when it's coming at you all of the time. He keeps going.
"He's a fit lad who will be relentless, he'll keep going even if he makes a mistake. He's a team player, too. Everyone knows Roy likes a wide player who can defend as well. He's got everything going for him. Now it's up to him to keep putting in that level of performance."
Gerrard believes that Liverpool's victory against Stoke City on Sunday was especially significant given their struggles against the same opponents in recent years. "A few years back, if we'd have been pulled back to 2-2, we may have lost the game," he said.
"The manager asked us at half-time whether we had the character and bottle to win the game and we went on from there. We have improved, we have got more steel in the team. We have proved to everyone that we are right up for this fight to get into the top four."
Blackburn Rovers are interested in taking Liverpool youngster Jordan Ibe on loan. Rodgers is keen for the teenager – a substitute on Sunday – to get more first team experience.

On the centenary of the epic expeditions of Scott and Amundsen, this book traces our search for the South Pole, from the earliest encounters with icy Antarctic waters, through the Heroic Age to modern times. In addition to the words of Scott and Amundsen, vivid descriptions from the logbooks, journals and narratives of pioneers such as Carsten Borchgrevink, Ernest Shackleton and Douglas Mawson provide first-hand experiences of this enigmatic and unforgiving region. Modern explorers and travellers, writers and scientists also explain what the South Pole means to them. Among those featured are Edmund Hillary, Vivian Fuchs, Ranulph Fiennes and Borge Ousland. Stunning images by Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, and from the personal collections of explorers and adventure photographers, as well as contemporary ephemera and artifacts illustrate the hardships of life on the ice. The authors, Kari Herbert, daughter of polar explorer Sir Wally Herbert, and Huw Lewis-Jones, former Curator at the Scott Polar Research Institute, have woven together the narrative of this enduring human quest with the individual stories to place the Scott-Amundsen race in historical context.

When Social Norms Overpower Competition: Gift Exchange in Experimental Labor Markets
Do competitive markets remove the effect of social norms on market outcomes or are norms capable of exerting a persistent influence? In this article, the authors report the results of a series of competitive market and bilateral bargaining experiments. They indicate that the norm of reciprocity gives rise to wages that are persistently above the competitive level. Moreover, wages under bilateral bargaining conditions coincide with wages in competitive markets, indicating that competition has a limited effect when the norm of reciprocity is operative. In addition, the results show that workers' reciprocal behavior increases effort and, hence, the efficiency of trades. Coauthors are Erich Kirchler, Andreas Weichbold, and Simon Gachter.

Thursday Schedule Detail
Session Name: Engineering: Buildings & Structures~~Recovering from Disasters with Building Codes
Session Description:
Building code enforcement is an important part of post-disaster recovery. Hazard-resistant provisions in building codes reduce damage to buildings, increase public safety, and allow communities to recover more quickly from natural disasters such as hurricanes. This session will cover FEMA's new policy "Disaster Risk Reduction Minimum Codes and Standards" and its application to Public Assistance, as well as planning for pre- and post-disaster building code enforcement. FEMA will require integration of building codes and standards for programs that fund buildings. The first presentation will focus on how this policy applies to Public Assistance, explain the reasoning behind the policy and highlight wind and flood provisions in the International Codes and the referenced standard ASCE 24, Flood Resistant Design and Construction. The second presentation will address getting building code enforcement help after a disaster and what to do before a disaster to ensure that help will be there when you need it. This includes funding for post-disaster code enforcement, as well as funding to improve local codes. The presenters will also discuss how the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) can be used for post-disaster building code enforcement and how that ties into the Public Assistance program. Through EMAC, states can share their resources with affected states in need of assistance.
Day of Week: Thursday
Time Start: 3:30PM

EducationElementary Education Major at Illinois State University. 4.0 GPA
ExperienceI am an elementary education major with endorsements in mathematics, language arts, science, and social science at Illinois State University.
In the spring of 2013, I completed six observation hours at Metcalf Laboratory School and three observation hours at University High School. I observed a variety of classrooms to learn about the physical, social, and cognitive development of children. I learned how these different types of development interact to impact a child's life drastically. I also observed five community-based hours around the town of Normal to report on the literacy practice that I observed. These clinical hours helped me to learn about the social interactions between adults and children and how a child's literacy is a form of personal identity. Similarly, I have done two clinical hours of mathematical tutoring at Prairieland Elementary. These clinical hours were extremely beneficial to see how children learn mathematics. With the hopes of becoming a math teacher with the math endorsement that I am working towards, the mathematic clinical hours have helped me gain insight and experience on how to effectively communicate mathematics to young children. I also worked for the past two years at a summer camp in which I was the head camp counselor. I formulated lesson plans for each day of the week for three months. For each lesson, I planned a gymnasium game, an art craft, and an outside activity. Similarly, I balanced fun games with journaling time and reading time. I established and scheduled set times a week for the children to comfortably read and relax by expressing their emotions about previous activities and upcoming events in their designated journal, which they were allowed to decorate and personalize. I also referred to the children and incorporated the activities that they expressed interest in into the lesson plans. I adjusted the daily activities in cooperation with parents' schedules, weather forecasts, and children's special needs. The children and I worked together to obtain a maximum learning environment while also having an enjoyable summer. Similarly, I have a very specific teaching philosophy. I believe that each child is a unique creature who needs a secure, comfortable, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my goal as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, encourages risk-taking, and invites a sharing of creative ideas. There are three elements that I believe are essential to establish this type of desired environment. The first is the teacher acting as a guide to learning by scaffolding questions to peak the interests of the students. The second is creating an organized, structured schedule that the children will accommodate to. The third is promoting respect for all things and all people by teaching diversity and self-actualization.
HobbiesI am a very flexible person with fantastic organizational skills. Punctuality is essential to me and strive to succeed in all that i do. I enjoy reading and socializing with my friends and family. Having fun is key in life and learning through hands-on, interesting activities is how i believe tutoring should be.

TROUBLED engineering group Invensys offered little hope of a strong upturn in its fortunes yesterday, admitting that first half operating profits were at the lower end of expectations.
The group, which recently offloaded two businesses as part of a programme of sell-offs set to effectively halve it in size, said trading over the six months to the end of September had met expectations as a whole.
But it said that the cost of investment in a programme of growth initiatives launched last year - covering a range of areas from marketing to IT changes - had helped drag operating profits down.
Analysts' forecasts for the first half vary widely, from as little as #48m to as much as #141m. Shares were down 4%, or 1.25p, to 32.5p yesterday.
Other negative factors affecting profits include the #5m cost of a handful of legacy issues, including settlement of an accounting matter in South East Asia dating back to the late 1990s.
The London-based group said planned productivity improvements were proving slower to achieve than hoped.
But the group said it had made a satisfactory start on its latest disposal programme, offloading its loss making Dutch software business Baan and electronics operation Treccor.
The group, which reported full year pre-tax losses of #1.39bn in June, is paring down its activities to focus on its production management and rail systems operations.
The latest round of sell-offs follows a major disposal programme launched in February last year, which generated #1.8bn.
The company said yesterday that the current round of sell-offs was proceeding to timetable.
Chief executive Rick Haythornthwaite said, "Invensys is in a period of significant transition, as we narrow our focus and work to reduce our liabilities.
"There remains much to be done to achieve our goal of building a stronger Invensys, both operationally and in terms of our balance sheet."

Do you want to increase traffic to your library? Follow these 10 simple steps to enhance your library publicity and get in front of the public!
1. Get yourself out there. Give talks and write articles about your program. Offer monthly training workshops on how to access and use your collections and services.
2. Create programs that use unique features of your library. Are the holidays coming up? Why not have a holiday gift-giving program with ideas on how to use your makerspace? Is your local school struggling for space? Offer to rent out space for classes or computer labs.
3. Go where the people are. Do you loan out devices or have a great ebook collection? Then ask staff, volunteers, and library patrons to use them in public spaces, such as coffee shops, while wearing pins that advertise they are reading a tablet from the library. You could even put a bold sticker on the device itself so wherever patrons are using it they are inadvertently advertising your library.
4. Use social media. Make a Pinterest site for things people have made in your makerspace or write a blog featuring Q&As with visiting authors.
5. Let other libraries know. Post your new assets and invitations on listservs and ask nearby libraries to advertise your upcoming programs or your collections.
6. Create a YouTube channel with How-to videos. You can demonstrate how to make cool things in your makerspace, interview people who use your resources for usual projects, or demonstrate how to use your collections.
7. Send personal invitations. There's nothing quite like a handwritten invitation that beckons. Invite faculty to an app demonstration complete with appetizers and wine. Or why not send invitations to local preschools to invite them to story hour?
8. Involve local niche interest groups. Special interest groups like the local history society, business networking groups, or parent groups can be great sources of programs that involve different parts of your community.
9. Tap into local talent. Host an open mic poetry night, an art show, or an engineering design competition.
10. Dress the part. Don't just host a reading; invite people to come dressed as the characters or in the time period the work takes place. Whether it's mystery night at the library, a Halloween masque party, cosplay, or recognizing the anniversary of a special collection, make it an event people remember and look forward to.

Depressed moth.
The Moth and the Podiatrist
So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office and complains, "Doctor, I feel terrible. I am so depressed. I wake up every morning and look at myself in the mirror and I feel lost, confused, and disoriented. I can't make decisions at work. I can't relate to wife. And I don't even recognize my kids anymore!" The doctor informed him, "Moth, I'm a podiatrist. I'm not trained to treat someone with your problems. You need to see a psychiatrist. Why, on earth did you come here?

Can Trade Show Booths Talk?
What did the Male Trade Show Booth say to the Female Trade Show Booth?
There was a wine-tasting for the kick-off reception at a tradeshow in Las Vegas recently. On set-up day, Barry the big trade show booth flexed his flat screen as he glanced over at Lucy the little trade show booth across the aisle. She, in turn, winked her spotlights flirtatiously. Encouraged, he decided on an opening line to impress her. What three words did he say in an effort to break the ice?

Prospect = Horse

Why is a Tradeshow Prospect Like a Horse?
"I don't get it," the booth staffer says to me. "You attract 30 people to the booth every 30 minutes. They watch your fabulous presentation and learn about our products and company. But very few talk to me afterward or ask me about our products. What's up with that?" I answered, "You missed my pre-show training session and you obviously don't own a horse." "A what?" he replied, with a very confused look on his face.

I don't really like to spread the review over two threads, but in this case, I looks like the best way to do it.
If you would like to read my Short Outbound review, please visit this link: Thomsonfly - East Midlands > Ibiza - Boeing 757 (by AIHTOURS Sep 3 2005 in Trip Reports)
Route: Ibiza to Nottingham East Midlands Airport
Flight Number: BY276B
Aircraft: G-BYAR

We arrived at our apartments quite early on in the day. They was nice, decent facility's etc... Cala Llonga was the resort where we stayed. I stayed there in 1999, and it has changed a little bit. I visited Ibiza in 2001 with Airtours. We stayed at the resort of Es Canar.
I was ill for a few days during the holiday early on, these days were mostly overcast. When I felt a bit better, the weather improved. We visited a number of places during the holiday.
Here are a few places we visited:
San Antoni De Portmany
Very nice Place, excellent bay, and I would really like to visit here again.
Nice scenery when you arrive and throughout the journey. Though, I would choose not to stay there as the resort is quite out the way of other places.
Playa d'en Bossa
Lots of Aircraft to see on Approach to Ibiza Airport. Though that was one of the only reasons we went
Cala San Miquel
Fantastic! Excellent beach, nice shops and great scenery. Again, like Portimanx, this location in out the way of other resorts.
Ibiza Town
Busy, Lots to see here. Make sure you visit the Old Town if you go. Some excellent performers at the port who stay perfectly still and dance if you give money to them.
You have to get a boat to visit this Island. It was 1 Hour and 10 Minutes from Cala Llonga to get there. The crossing wasn't exactly steady, but boats from Ibiza town take around 30 minutes according to the AA guides. Thankfully I had a nice pair of Sealegs that day, and felt fine going out and on return. It was my first time on a boat like that for almost 10 years, so not too bad. It isn't as interesting as flying though.
The Island itself is very beautiful. Unspoilt beaches, clean and a nice place to visit.
Though there isn't that much there. We went on the "Regular Bus" to see what's about. (It's a tour more or less).
Some nice views from the tour:
Then it was time to return back to Cala Llonga on the Catermeran, called "Capita Jack"
Visit Santa Eularia if you can, it is a very nice Place. (Here is me in Santa Eularia)
I like Ibiza Island, and would be happy to visit again. Soon though it was time to go home.
Transfer Coach picked us up and we drove away to the Airport. Once arrived at the Airport, the Thomson Rep told us our Numbers for the Check-In.
Ibiza departure lounge was bearable, we managed to get to the front of the queue quickly just by noticing that there was a queue which was short. We was not Split up like on the Outbound flights, we all got seats together on row 23. 23A, 23B, 23C. I was to later find out these were Extra Legroom Seats. Result! I was very pleased with that. My Dad got 12A on the outbound flight, which is one of the best seats on the 757 in Britannia's Configuration.
Security Point. The queue was the length of the hall. Though we got through security pretty quickly in 15 Minutes or so. The departure lounge is nice, with a good selection of shop's, a big cafe/restaurant, and a pretty rubbish Bar Area. Comfortable seats are in there, so it isn't that bad.
I saw a ThomasCook 757 G-JMCG, (First time I've ever seen one in my life - you can see I'm from the East Midlands Airport area ), Iberia, Spanair and various other Aircraft. There was a Futura 737 there, I still enjoy seeing them after there appearances at EMA seem to be getting more rare.
Soon it was time for Boarding, and we boarded after the First Choice to Manchester.
We boarded the Plane from the rear as requested. Then I noticed we had the Extra seats! Fantastic that was! The Cabin on G-BYAR was very clean and tidy. She looked really new outside and inside, but didn't have the new inhanced interior lockers neither did G-BYAP on the Outbound flight. Still, a lovely Cabin though! The Same audio was being played as the outbound flight with the TV's. The Flight Deck told us about our flight, and seemed very friendly.
Here are some Photos from inside the Plane:
First Choice G-OOOX:
We started moving as soon as everyone was ready. Safety TV and Manual instructions were shown, they were the right length I felt, and the Video was just good. We moved past some Props and Business Jets. Then we turned, faced Playa D'en Bossa and then lined up with the Runway. The engines fired up, and I was flung back into the seat. A very powerful Take-off and a sharp bank after lift-off followed.
The in-flight service then began. The Crew told us about the Services on-board the flight amongst other things. The flight-deck spoke to us again, telling us about our flight today and how the flight will be 2 Hours and 1 Minute long. I got comfortable and looked out the window mostly until meals were served.
And fantastic meals they were!
Farmhouse Chicken Pie, Bread, Crackers and Cheese, Summer Trifle, Chocolates and the Tea or Coffee.
The Crew were fantastic on this flight. They enjoyed what they were doing, and each one of them was in a good, helpful mood. The uniform they ware does now match the Cabin, and looks very smart.
Entertainment was Spongebob Squarepants and My Family, and some other things I guess (I didn't watch it).
I had a great view of the Coast on England, and soon after we started our decent. I saw many Airfield on approach to East Midlands, including one which looked like it is the home on an Ex- MyTravel Aircraft:
Can you identify the Airfield or Aircraft? About 25 Minutes from East Midlands Airport on the plane.
I think I saw Lasham aswell, where some MyTravel Aircraft are. (I will post the Photo later)
The landing and Approach was fantastic, we passed over the East Midlands to give a fantastic view of the area. We flew over the M1, which made me think we was going to do a rare 09 landing over Donington Park. We descended over Donington Park, and the bikes were doing circuits.
We arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and Thomsonfly G-OBYF landed after us. I didn't ask for a Flight Deck visit as I felt my Parents wanted to just get off the Plane. Well, the amount of time we waited for out cases, (At a not very busy EMA) I may has well had done this, and they felt the same!
After we got our cases it was a case of getting home. And that's where my story finishes.
I do have a Video of our Landing and some more Photos from out the window in the Queue for the Airliners.net database, and will post the video and Photos when they are ready.
This flight was amazing, perfect, professional. We all couldn't have asked for more. I have full respect for every aspect of the TUI Group and look forward to my flights in October with Thomsonfly.
Well Done Thomson. I give a 9 out of 10 for both flights. Exceptional!

Guide Dogs for the Blind
I was recently in the Bay area with my husband, John, as part of a fundraising effort for the Guide Dogs for the Blind, a school training labrador and golden retrievers to become working dogs. I led a cooking workshop for the recipient of the silent auction item (a gastronomic evening with me) and her fourteen guests. After the interactive culinary class, we enjoyed the three-course dinner together al fresco at Joan Boyd's home in Napa, owner of Boyd Family Vineyards.
The day before the dinner, John and I visited the GDB campus in San Rafael. It's a gorgeous campus—I mean, who can beat that California climate and scenery? (Well, I guess the scenery would be of little value to the school's human students.) It was nonetheless a nice getaway from the Houston heat, and with wine and puppies, what else could I ask for?
John and I got to experience walking with a guide dog (yes, John was blindfolded). We strapped the GoPro to our heads—the footage will later be made into a Blind Life YouTube episode. Best of all, we had puppy playtime! How could you not love those pups pictured above?
A future guide puppy is specifically bred and born in-house at GDB. At about 12 weeks, they meet their raisers, or volunteers all over the country who foster the puppies—socialize them and give them basic training—until they're over a year old. THen the puppies return to the GDB where they receive additional training to become a guide dog—think of it as their master's degree.
Owners are matched to dogs by personality, lifestyle, needs, even walking pace. Humans have to be trained on how to work with their guide dogs, too, so potential owners come stay on the GDB campus for two weeks for training. The GDB is set up like a cozy college campus, complete with a cafeteria with customizable menu, individual dorm rooms, a student center/union, a gym, and so on. At the conclusion of the two-week program, there's even a little graduation ceremony for the dogs, during which they're officially given over to their new owners. So cute.
I've thought a lot about getting a guide dog over the years, and after my visit to the GDB, it has become a more serious consideration. To learn more about the GDB, their mission, programs, opportunities, how to become a puppy raiser, and how you can support, visit the Guide Dogs for the Blind website.

Graham Cope will become legal director and group company secretary with responsibility to Redrow's main board.
Cope will replace Rhiannon Walker, who will stay on in the legal department but is taking semi-retirement after more than 16 years with the company.
Cope has spent the bulk of his career in-house. He worked at both McAlpine and Beazer before joining Hammonds in July 2001 to drive forward its housebuilder practice in Birmingham.
"My only reason for leaving is because this tremendous opportunity has come forward," commented Cope.
Birmingham head of property at Hammonds Anne O'Meara added: "This is a very senior role and a great opportunity. We're sorry he's leaving as he's made a great impact in a short period of time."
Redrow is not a Hammonds client. Last year it chose Eversheds for additional property support and uses Nabarro Nathanson for corporate work.
Walker has built an in-house team of four qualified solicitors at Redrow's main base in Flintshire and a further four in the regions, as well as a large team of legal executives and paralegals. She said the team is likely to expand further. "It's great news that Graham is coming," she said. "It's taken a while to find the right person."

That leaves those … More North Korea: Contingency Planning Among Brinksmanship


text: Wow, what a pile. It was outside on the front porch, covered with a tarp. No blower. Baffle boards totally junk, with big pieces in the bottom. A bunch of broken bricks, still full of ash, the inside was coated with creosote, and the glass was worse than mine has ever been (and that's pretty bad). I offered $200, and she said she had somebody else coming. Good luck.
