We seek fancy fame
there is no stopping it.
Hunger for bright lights
and pleasing monuments.
If we beg the question of
this immovable force,
of what we do dream
is not simple of course.
There in lies a heart
an essential key part.
Discernment's from
the heart at the start.
What sets us at ease;
we will do what we please.
Yet what creates peace
is our logic we give at least.
Call it judgement
call it God's eternal job.
Let us discern awhile
that which makes us sob.
For when we see
what makes us weak
we hide it below
where few can seek.
We dress ourselves
for other's eyes.
The very thing that's
a definition of lies.
I want to be remembered
by that which I have loved.
Where the chaotic discourse is
and how I did rise above.

Observant readers of TVG may recall my promise earlier this February to review the suiting of Trunk Tailors. The commission up for scrutiny – a big lapelled navy number in 8 ounce Dugdale fine worsted. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts I was only recently able to complete the final fitting of that garment, with it now currently en route to Hong Kong for (I am assured) the last chunk of touch-up alterations. Although I was frustrated at this missed opportunity to share my experience with that first commission, Jack Liang (one half of Trunk Tailors) suggested I fill the void with a more succinct report on the second suit I have since had made through him and Homie (Trunk Tailors' co-founder).
Given that solaro cloth is always a voguish textile for menswear lovers, and that alterations were unnecessary, we proceeded to snap a few spontaneous images of this commission using a 'point and shoot' camera. While these digital photographs fail to capture the full complexity of the solaro cotton or the breadth of comfortable movement possible, I am delighted to say that this suit is a joy to wear.
The historical origin of solaro cloth harkens back to the early 20th century. David Isle of No Man Walks Alone wrote a fantastic primer on this one hundred year old fabric, and my commission is made up in a beige variety which ticks all of the boxes in the aforesaid article. The particular bolt that this suit has been made with weighs between 9 and 10 ounces, and comes from Neapolitan textile merchant Caccioppoli. Like Delfino, Caccioppoli are particularly well known for their seasonal fabrics, as is reflected in this slick and breathable cotton from the 'Cottone Speciale' suiting book. Needless to say, it wears extremely cool. The cotton also possesses visual interest that comes courtesy of its earthy beige tones, which complement a wide – and not always obvious – spectrum of different shirt and tie colours.
As for the quality of the suit's construction, this is another area in which I am reasonably satisfied. The jacket chest is made with a hand padded canvas that is comfortable to wear, while having the knock-on effect of supporting the cloth's rigidity. To accommodate my pitched shoulder position, Jack & Homie instructed their tailor to insert padding in the left shoulder of the jacket. This insertion 'smooths' out the uneven height between my two shoulders (particularly when I am standing upright) and was generally well executed. If I were to be pedantic, the additional padding becomes more visible when I crunch my left arm at an angle. However, given the range of motion the crown and sleeve of a jacket experience daily, that is a minor gripe at best. Because of its more casual aesthetic, I opted to have this commission cut with single button cuffs. Again, the work on the sleeve buttonholes is visually intricate (especially given the pricepoint) and did not incur an up charge – an observation worth making given the artificial pricing barriers many custom clothiers employ these days.
A notable element of Trunk Tailors' value is in the quality of their hand finishing. Naturally, they are unlikely to engender the same degree of awe in this area that tailors such as Cifonelli or Liverano do, but at the former's pricepoint I was continually left impressed by the consistency of the hand work displayed. The Milanese style finishing on the lapel buttonhole is both tightly controlled and evenly spaced, while the pick stitching on the jacket front (including the welted chest pocket) is cleanly and deeply set. These aesthetic details do not intrinsically speak to the quality of a commission, but suggest the skill of the cutter. In particular, the physical control that individual possesses when working more unconventional cloth (i.e. cotton) in their hands.
The house style that Jack & Homie have worked to implement across most Trunk commissions is decidedly Italian. While they are happy – upon your instructions – to fit and cut a more English silhouette, I opted to preserve the sort of aesthetic that naturally complements a sporty fabric like Solaro. For me, the totality of their house cut is extremely attractive. This commission possesses open quarters, an extended skirt (that doesn't float metres above my arse) and a gentle amount of waist suppression that accentuates the 'golden ratio' between my shoulder points and waist. It also bears mentioning that Trunk Tailors' trousers are cut with a higher-than-average rise, perfect for shlubby men like myself who wish to draw as much attention away from our paunches as possible. Overall, the rise of the trousers is flattering without sacrificing the comfort in the more integral areas of the waistband and seat.
For those who patently obsess over a tailor's historical prestige or who bear some reservation toward Asian made garments, Trunk Tailors may not interest you. Personally, Jack & Homie have managed to craft a suit for me that sidesteps many of the problems I have encountered with previous made to measure specialists. The fit is generally very comfortable, classical in its proportion, and made up in a fabric many other 'tailors' would have slapped me with an artificial surcharge for. The potential for customisation (i.e. single button cuffs) also adds value to your overall experience and I can confidently say I will be visiting Jack & Homie for another commission some time in the future.

- Book your party bus in a timely manner to get rid of last minute confusion and mess.
- Be ready on time. Party bus journey demands punctuality. You need to be ready before your vehicle even arrives at your doorstep.

Security and Power Management Design of Smart Homes based on Internet of Things
Amber AyubDepartment of Computer ScienceKinnaird College for Women, Pakistan
[email protected]:
Nowadays, the development of smart devices for home automation has rapid growth. The arising problem is how to integrate and control these devices efficiently to have a better safe comfort life. In IoT enabled Smart Home environment various things such as lighting, home appliances, computers, security camera etc. all are connected to the Internet and allowing user to monitor and control things regardless of time and location constraint. Each of the devices has its own configuration technique, which creates different problems of integration. The paper presents the design and implementation of an Ethernet-based Smart Home intelligent system for monitoring the electrical energy consumption based upon the real time tracking of the devices at home. The proposed system works on real time monitoring and voice control, so that the electrical devices and switches can be remotely controlled and monitored in a user friendly and a mobile way.
With the growing demand, comes the growing competition which has forced the competitors to come out with more intelligent, efficient as well as user friendly models. This has made our lives easier. The
Internet of Things will maintain our appliances it will regulate our lights, heat, AC, and other home appliances and devices, turning them on and off as we enter and exit rooms.

Save money on energy use, while keeping your office or building comfortable. The cost of simply forgetting to turn off your classroom lights and electric appliances can really add up over time. Automating your heating and lighting systems allows you to hand over the routine chores to a smart system and remove the cost of human error.
? Internet of things influences us in many ways and people are continuously developing new smart gadgets to improve lifestyle. IoT has contributed a lot towards automation of home duties. The control aspects which IoT has provided are really great for home automation like you can control everything just with the help of a single click. You can have a log of events to keep a check on who visited your house, when a family member did something like got home, left home of turned a fire alarm off. Smart home is about connecting the electric appliances in a network so that they can be remotely accessed and controlled. How to integrate multiple devices into one and transfer the information to the owner is the question of interest.
To cut the long story short IoT has enabled us to control everything virtually, without physically being present at the spot, you can keep check of every event. This is one important accomplishment in security aspect too that everything is being monitored and controlled via single platform, using security enabled communication protocols.
This paper proposes an IoT based smart and intelligent energy and security management system to autonomous power control system in a user friendly and a mobile way so that a user can manage the power management as well as security of their house even when not at the house. In proposed model an Ethernet based system that let users monitor real time switching information of the
electrical devices and controlling them through an android app as well as monitoring the security of their homes in case of unwanted entry or fire.
The app cannot work in an area where internet is not available so what if there is an emergency at home and you are in an area where internet is not available.
Fig. Communication Methodology
Home automation is a matter of concern in today's world, people want more ease with simple to use appliances and internet of things provide us with such devices that make our everyday life easier. This paper introduces an IoT based smart and intelligent energy and security management system in a mobile way so that people can manage the power and security of their homes and reducing the power consumption and maximizing the energy utilization. Foe this purpose, the proposed model Ethernet based system control and track information of the electrical devices and controlling them through an android app.
The proposed model uses temperature sensor and smoke sensors to check for fire at the user's home, PIR motion
sensors to check for the unwanted presence at their homes and also monitor and control the real time tracking and switching of all their electrical devices through an android based mobile app. The system is connected to this android app using internet connectivity for better and fast communication. The model has an option of controlling devices by either sending voice commands or by simple tap-to-toggle system, making the overall system user friendly and easy to manage.
So, getting in detail about the model, we have temperature sensor which works along with smoke sensor to check the
presence of fire at home, PIR motion sensor to detect the human movement in the house, and relay connected devices so that they can be easily toggled by the microcontroller. The brain of our model is an Ethernet based Intel Galileo 2nd Generation Board which let our devices and sensors connected to the internet.
Fig. System Architecture
On the other side of our model, we have an android based mobile app that has options to track the switching time of the devices, controlling the switching of devices either through touch mode or voice mode and also generates alerts in case of security breach or fire. The app is android based which is connected to the internet thorough either Wi-Fi or mobile dat. It connects to the Intel Galileo based server over the internet and lets the users to monitor with the help of an internal mobile timer and toggles the switching by tap-to-touch or voice using Google API speech recognition tool. User can manually switch on or off the PIR sensor or the fire tracking system and even get alerts in
case they do detect a change. The alert is sent real time to the user app and shown in the alert tab. Thus, an energy monitoring security system is being set up in the home with a user-friendly mobile app to make your home a smart and an intelligent home.
An android app is made for controlling and monitoring the features of smart home (herein MY Home) The app is based upon android open source development which has to be connected to the internet through mobile data or using a Wi-Fi.
In other options the user has an option of changing the Settings of the app, accessing the Touch Mode, accessing the Voice Mode and Viewing the status of the connected devices. This is the most user's friendly feature of this app that let users toggle the state of devices using available voice commands. The feature uses the default Google API speech recognition tool that recognizes the available commands and sends the output according to the selected command. The user can also play the voice command and scroll over the list.
Fig. Android App welcome screen
and options
Fig. Android App Touch Mode
Fig. Android App Voice Mode
All the tracking and monitoring is based upon the date at which the system was last refreshed which can be done through settings of the app, an auto connect feature that let the app automatically connect to the internet when possible and to refresh the status of the app so that a fresh tracking and monitoring is deployed.
From experimental result, it has been clear that proposed system given has proved to be a better way of energy and security management. The main idea of this system is to monitor the energy usage and security of the house in a user friendly and a mobile way so that a user can manage the power management as well as security of their house even when not at the house itself.

Oklahoma passed a law earlier this year that will require restaurants, hospitals, and other businesses with public bathrooms to spend an estimated $2.3 million on signs intended to reduce abortions.
On Tuesday, the State Department of Health began considering the regulations for signs, which will be required to be posted in hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, and public schools, "for the purpose of achieving an abortion-free society," the Associated Press reported.
Hospitals and restaurant groups in the state are opposing the new regulation, saying that it serve as an unnecessary tax on small businesses.
"We don't have any concern about the information they're trying to get out to women about their babies and their pregnancy. This is just the wrong way to do it," said Jim Hooper, president of the Oklahoma Restaurant Association, told the Associated Press. "It's just another mandate on small businesses. It's not just restaurants. It includes hospitals, nursing homes. It just doesn't make sense."
The Oklahoma Hospital Association estimated making the signs would cost from $45 to $150 per sign, which could add up to roughly $750 in costs for a small rural hospital and $60,000 for Integris Health, Oklahoma's largest network of health care systems, reported NewsOK.
Many took to social media to complain about the new signage requirement.

Leaders of the Oklahoma Assisted Living Association also opposed the required signage, though for different reasons.
"This rule could have a negative emotional impact on our residents," a comment from the association reprinted in NewsOK. "I understand the purpose of House Bill 2797 is to educate those of childbearing age of option to terminating a pregnancy. However, our residents are obviously older and not of childbearing age. Is it necessary to inform them of options which are not applicable?"
Public bathrooms have become a major target for city and state regulation — at times to the detriment of local businesses.
North Carolina's "bathroom law" — which mandates that transgender people must use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex — has reportedly cost the state nearly $400 million due to lost business.
Meanwhile, cities including Philadelphia and Seattle have passed legislation in recent years to require all businesses with public bathrooms to designate all single-stall restrooms as open to all genders, something cities said was a relatively low-cost proposition.

South Shore chapter screens Silver Donald Cameron's film [b]'Green Rights' in Mahone Bay[/b]
[ https://canadians.org/blog/south-shore- ... mahone-bay ]
May 21, 2017 - 6:23 am
The Council of Canadians South Shore chapter screened the film "Green Rights" on May 19.
The outreach had noted, "Green Rights: The Human Right to a Healthy World" will be shown at 7:PM Friday, May 19, 2017 at the Mahone Bay Centre, 45 School St. The event is co-sponsored by the South Shore Chapter of the Council of Canadians and the Friends of Nature. It will be hosted by film writer and narrator Silver Donald Cameron."
It adds, "Green Rights tells the stories of ordinary people and dedicated lawyers who are suing multinational corporations and unresponsive governments on behalf of future generations. And they are winning in places such as Argentina, the Philippines, Ecuador, and the Netherlands. Cameron and film director Chris Beckett captured footage and compiled interviews from eleven countries on every continent except Antarctica. Cameron is also the author of the companion book Warrior Lawyers: From Manila to Manhattan, Attorneys for the Earth, which will be available at the event."
The 336-page "Warrior Lawyers" book includes fifteen interviews with lawyers from nine countries, plus an essay by the author. Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow says the book is "moving, terrifying, inspirational – these stories stand as a beacon of hope in our troubled world."
There are different ways to access the film and book:

The carving of three Confederate leaders and their horses at Stone Mountain Park isn't just about race, rebel hoopla and questions of history. Unlike most of the staid statues and monuments under threat of being torn down on courthouse squares across the nation, the one at The Big Rock also involves money.
The three-acre carving is the biggest branding sign we've got in Georgia, as disconcerting as that is.
It consumes more space than any Coke sign, MLK bust, statue to Jimmy, Olympic cauldron, Big Chicken or memorial to Ray Charles or Bobby Jones. It's more vast than the Mercedes-Benz emblem (allegedly "the largest corporate logo on Earth") now atop the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Hood Ornament in downtown Atlanta.
Stone Mountain Park also claims to be the biggest attraction in Georgia. That's where the money and business comes in.
Three or four million people visit annually, depending on who you ask.
This is not treated as an embarrassment in DeKalb County, where more than half the residents are African-Americans.
Instead, video of the carving is the first image that popped up on homepage and Facebook page for Discover DeKalb, which is how the county pitches itself to visitors and tourists. (Just after this column was writen, the video selection was changed, putting less emphasis on the carving.)
Consider that the original idea for the carving traces its lineage to supporters of the Ku Klux Klan, before the state got involved in the project.
Now, the state's Stone Mountain Memorial Authority farms out the park to be run by a for-profit outfit, Herschend Family Entertainment, which pays the state about $10.75 million a year.
Messing with money
"Mess with this park and you are messing with economic development in this state," said R.K. Sehgal, who served as Georgia's commissioner for industry, trade and tourism in the early 2000s.
"When promoting tourism, this park was mentioned very prominently in our sales efforts," he told me. "We played up the largest granite outcrop in the world. We played up the mountain rather than the carving."
Besides, he said, in such a sprawling park with lots to do, "the carving is more or less an asterisk."
Wasn't the presence of Confederates on a mountainside viewed as a big, fat negative by employers being recruited by the state?
"Absolutely not," Sehgal told me. He said he's been to Stone Mountain Park "hundreds of times."
A little backstory: Sehgal was born in India. Andrew Young, the veteran civil rights leader and MLK lieutenant, is godfather to Sehgal's son.
Stone Mountain Park invites those kinds of odd juxtapositions. The carving gets special protection under state law. It's a memorial to the Confederacy and the spot where the KKK was reborn for people who let fear and meanness get the better of them.
When I tell this to visitors from outside Georgia they usually ask roughly same question: "And that's a thing people take their kids to see?"
Graffiti on the haunches
I tell them the rest of the story, at least as I see it. It's a beautiful mountain, aside from the graffiti carved in its haunches. There's a zillion things for families to do in the 3,200-acre park, from the nightly laser show and boat rides to running trails and hikes up the mountain for stunning views of Atlanta.
So how crucial is the carving to keep people visiting the park? And how many potential visitors does it deter?
I tried to get answers from Herschend, the park's operator, but the company seems to be trying very hard to hide under the bed on this whole issue lately.
A few years ago, the company's CEO told the AJC the park didn't track the impact from the Confederacy legacy. Online, Herschend highlights family activities and nature more than the carving.
A spokesman for the Stone Mountain Memorial Association said the association doesn't know the answer to either question, but he said three-fourths of the park's visitors go to the natural stuff compared to the attractions and carving.
Ken Bernhardt, a retired Georgia State University marketing professor, told me his past research found that when tourists are choosing a city for a getaway weekend, learning about history and visiting museums is among the most important considerations. Only shopping and fine dining were bigger, he said.
The carving, I guess, is at least a suggestion of history, one that glamorizes an ugly chapter in our history.
It's a detraction from the mountain's natural beauty. But it's also pretty amazing, having been carved hundreds of feet up a sheer cliff. The figures are so big that an adult could stand in an ear of one of the horses.
But I doubt most park visitors spend lots of time contemplating what motivated the Confederates etched into stone. Heck, I'd be surprised if one out of 20 people could name all three of the dudes.
Instead, the rock where the KKK burned crosses has become a magnet for people of all different backgrounds, from all over the world. Families, including plenty of African-Americans, have picnics and family reunions in the shadow of the carving.
Flaccid reminders?
And so the images on the mountain have become only flaccid reminders of the Confederacy.
Except when the rallies and protests crank up. That reminds us that there's an uglier history hanging over our heads.
Which is why we are again confronted with the question of whether its worth it socially — or financially — to find a way to kill it or keep living with it.
Suggestions to add a big civil rights monument or carve non-Confederate figures into the rock haven't gotten much traction. And spending time and treasure to demolish or cover up the existing carving doesn't sound very satisfying to many people.
Hiding sins has a way of making them fester. And destroying a carving marvel feels unseemly.
Maybe instead of dynamite, what we need is more honesty, context and truth in advertising. Perhaps it's time to rebrand The Big Rock.
Someone I know suggested just renaming the mountain for what the carving really represents.
"Treason Mountain," he said.
There are other options. Bigots Boulder, Sedition Stone, Racism Rock, Rebels' Ruse, Distortion Hill.
Imagine putting any of those on a tourism site.
We're all stuck with our pasts, but we are free to do better.
If we choose to live with this thing, let's really live with it. Let's acknowledge what it really is.

How to Prevent Dandelions
The dandelion, the puffball, the lion's head the thorn in your side, the irritation that never leaves, the classic flower picked by every toddler for his mom. It is perhaps the most well-known (and also the most irritating) weed in almost every area across the country.
Dandelions commonly grow in the middle of your lawn leaving a bright yellow eyesore anywhere it pleases. It's an aggressive weed that can sprout out as much as ten inches and controlling it is a never-ending challenge.
Until this year.
This is your year, the battle against the yellow coats is coming to an end. We're going to wage this war and give you every secret you need to know how to prevent dandelions this year once and for all. Dandelions are one of those things you have to get a head of, or they will dominate your turf!
Remember picking up that white-cotton like puff ball as a child and blowing hard so it spreads everywhere? Well, those cotton flowers are dried up dandelions, and those fine hairs each hold a seed that carry new dandelions into the air and spread seeds over hundreds of yards.
Seeds germinate easily on or just below the surface of moist soil when temperatures remain consistently over fifty degrees (aka: all summer long) While children everywhere love to pick and carry and blow dandelions all summer long, it will always lead to more and more dandelions.
Of course, we can't blame innocent children for the entire problem. Dandelion seeds remain viable for decades, and will pop up when you least expect them.
The best way to prevent the spread of dandelions can be reduced through regular lawn maintenance. Grass should be mowed regularly to destroying developing flowers before they are able to mature into seed distributors.
When mowing a lawn prone to weed issues, let the grass clippings act as mulch to promote grass health and also inhibit the germination of dandelion seeds on the soil surface.
Of course, you can always remove dandelions by hand, ensuring you get the entire root by using a screwdriver or garden fork. Keep in mind, dandelions often have long roots, sometimes over 12 inches in length, so digging them out might cause more damage than you're willing to put up with.
For a persistent or extreme dandelion infestation, use an herbicide applied in spring or fall when conditions are dry. When using any chemical on your lawn consult with a local nursery to determine what type of fertilizer you need and how to apply it correctly.
Dandelions are a nuisance, but you don't have to succumb to their terror. The best antidote for dandelions is a lush, thick lawn of beautiful green grass. Focus on that goal, and the dandelions will disappear in the process.

An ever-increasing range of technologies have begun to disrupt the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) industries. From the Internet of Things to data analytics to marketing platforms – and beyond – emerging technologies present both opportunities and threats to TMT business leaders.
Today, many TMT leaders express optimism about the potential impact disruptive technologies will have on their businesses and their industries. But their confidence isn't fully merited: Too many TMT firms lack the organizational capability, culture, strategic vision and a solid understanding of the impact disruptive technologies have on their sector, to successfully navigate this revolution.
KPMG and Forrester Consulting conducted a global study on disruptive technology adoption trends and the organizational and customer impact of these technologies on technology, media, and telecommunications companies. Based on a quantitative survey of more than 1,700 senior executives in 16 countries and qualitative interviews with numerous senior executives in the TMT industries, the study offers insights into the fears, opportunities, organizational changes, investments, and key performance indicators deriving from disruptive technology.

On a few of our FC6 machines, various programs intermittently crash with
SIGSEGV. The two easiest test cases are:
while ping -c 1 localhost; do :; done >/dev/null
while sudo su -c true; do :; done >/dev/null
Each fails after a few seconds to a minute.
All the machines in question are running 32-bit i386 FC6, and have
prelink-0.3.9-2, glibc-2.5-10.fc6 installed. Some were upgraded from FC4, while
others were installed with FC6 from scratch. Some are single-core Celerons and
others are dual-core Pentium Ds. There is no apparent correlation between the
machine's configuration and whether the crashing occurs on the machine.
On one machine, I tarred up /bin/ping and its dependent shared libraries, then
disabled prelink and ran "prelink -ua". After this, the above tests do not crash.
Created attachment 146963 [details]
/bin/ping and libraries before prelink -ua
Created attachment 146964 [details]
/bin/ping and libraries after prelink -ua
This issue seems related to (if not a duplicate of) bug 110665.
Actually, the crash occurs on all our FC6 machines. The ones I thought were
okay are actually still running FC4.
ping is a PIE, my guess this is a dup of #217614.
What exact glibc do you have installed? *.i686.rpm or *.i386.rpm?
Can you get a core dump? ulimit -c unlimited; while ping -c 1 localhost; do :;
done >/dev/null
? You'd need to run it as root, otherwise setuid ping won't create a core dump.

/bin/su coredump
# rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' glibc iputils

Yes, likely dupe of #217614.
I've just managed to figure a "fix" by unprelinking the libraries
that /bin/ping is linked too, cureing a previously observed segfault:
[root@skyline ~]# sh t
completed: 1867
[root@skyline ~]# prelink --undo /lib/libresolv.so.2
[root@skyline ~]# sh t
completed: 97
[root@skyline ~]# sh t

[root@skyline ~]# sh t
completed: 11705
[root@skyline ~]# prelink --undo /lib/ld-linux.so.2
[root@skyline ~]# sh t
<... still running == likely fixed ...>
Here's the dinky t script:
while `/bin/ping -c1 -w1 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null`
i="`expr $i + 1`"
echo "completed: $i"
Note that there was another element in #217614, whether glibc.i386 or glibc.i686 is installed.
My comment #9 has these (FC6 kernel, CentOS4.4 glibc&ping) packages installed:
[root@skyline ~]# rpm -q glibc kernel iputils
This appears the minimum necessary change to "cure" /bin/ping segfaults:
root@gt40 ~]# sh t
completed: 1076
[root@gt40 ~]# prelink --undo /lib/ld-linux.so.2
[root@gt40 ~]# sh t
< --- running almost an hour --- >
I can reproduce this problem on demand if that helps.

Queensland will become one of the first places in the world to have autonomous drone deliveries when global tech giant Alphabet introduces its Wing service to Logan later this year.
It's the latest initiative to position Queensland as a global leader in drone technology, with TIQ also supporting a number of drone export and investment opportunities.
Innovation Minister Kate Jones announced in late July that Wing would launch in Logan later this year, after 80,000 test flights around the world, including initial test flights in rural Queensland in 2014.
Deliveries of items up to 1.5kg are expected to be made in Logan in the second half of 2019.
Ms Jones said the new service would create local jobs for drone pilots and help to position Queensland as a leader in the global drone industry.
'We're working with the world leaders in drone technology to create jobs for Queenslanders,' she said.
'That's why we're partnering with Wing today to make sure that we lead the way when it comes to capitalising on the opportunities provided by technological advancements in drone technology.
'Already we have some of the world leaders in drone tech and we're investing more in this space than any other government in the country.'
Ms Jones said the government's Queensland Drones Strategy was an Australian first.
'We are already leading the way in drone technology across a number of industries, including defence, agriculture, mining and manufacturing,' she said.
'Wing has the potential to shift the gear again in the use of drone technology for transportation by increasing access to goods, easing traffic congestion and helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.'
The Minister met with Wing to explore Queensland opportunities during a trade mission to the USA in June.
Wing's Australian Head of Operations Terrance Bouldin-Johnson said the company was excited about its expansion into Queensland.
'We're pleased to be expanding our Australian operations and launching the first air delivery service in South East Queensland,' he said.
'Queensland has staked out a leadership position in the advancement of drone technology and some of the most significant drone developments in the world are happening here.
'Wing allows customers to order a range of items such as fresh bread, hot coffee or food items on our mobile app, and have them delivered directly to their homes by drone in minutes.'
Queensland is home to the annual World of Drones Congress, with this year's gathering to be held in Brisbane in September.
The state also hosts Outback Aerodrone, which showcases western Queensland as an ideal environment for drone testing.
And, in 2017, the Australian Government announced Brisbane as the location for a $50 million drone research centre, the Cooperative Research Centre for Trusted Autonomous Systems.
The aerospace and defence sector is identified as an emerging export priority in the Queensland Trade and Investment Strategy 2017–2022.

A William Blake Walk from Tyburn to Primrose Hill
Niall McDevitt – having created westerly, easterly and southerly Blake walks – unveils the first of two northerly Blake walks.
The site of Tyburn is undoubtedly the most abhorrent in the Blakean imagination. While the Vatican chose to counteract the executions by building the Tyburn Convent, Blake erected a psycho-architectural monument which he called 'The Gate of Los'.
The walk follows the course of the Tyburn river while telling the stories of Catherine Blake, The Jews Harp Tavern, the Cato conspiracy and George Richmond.
The pilgrimage ends on the magical apex of Primrose Hill where Blake 'saw the spiritual sun', and where – 150 years later – Allen Ginsberg meditated with Iain Sinclair filming.
Meeting under Marble Arch on Sun 30 September at 2pm. £10

We've all spent the past few days, or maybe the past month or two focusing on the things we're THANKFUL for. Sometimes it's difficult to feel thankful, and sometimes it's easy ti find many things. But one thing we can ALWAYS find thankfulness in is HOPE! In our Lord's LOVE and FORGIVENESS! We will always find sin attractive, but we'll also always find God ready to receive our repentant hearts and forgive us. That gives me HOPE!! And the HOPE of knowing that as Christ Followers we get to live with God forever in PARADISE, real paradise, not what we as humans imagine as paradise. True paradise is being with the Lord of Lords forever!! YIPEE!!
No matter what's happening in our lives, no matter the circumstances, these are the things we can always be thankful for! :>
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. " 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I have worked as a Registered Nurse for about 15 years now and am extremely aware of how important body mechanics are when performing as a nurse. However, no matter how cautious you are, 15 years of nursing does cause some wear and tear on the body. He in the past year has given me back a sense of control.
It's difficult to describe the gift Noah's care has given me, but he has put me on the path to healing and my pain is gone, my function on my left side is coming back. I recommend Noah's service and knowledge without reservation; he not only is great at his profession but is caring and intelligent in his approach.
Manipulation for physical therapy is a type of passive movement of a skeletal joint. It is usually aimed at one or more 'target' synovial joints with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect.
Manipulation can be distinguished from other Manual Therapy interventions such as joint mobilization by its biomechanics, both kinetics, and kinematics.
Joint manipulation is characteristically associated with the production of an audible 'clicking' or 'popping' sound. This sound is believed to be the result of a phenomenon known as cavitation occurring within the synovial fluid of the joint. When a manipulation is performed, the applied force separates the articular surfaces of a fully encapsulated synovial joint. This deforms the joint capsule and intra-articular tissues, which in turn, creates a reduction in pressure within the joint cavity.
The clinical effects of joint manipulation have been shown to include:
- Temporary relief of musculoskeletal pain
- Shortened time to recover from acute back sprains
- Temporary increase in passive range of motion
- Physiological effects upon the central nervous system
- No alteration of the position of the sacroiliac joint

source: Telegraph Nepal, May 6, 2014
Chairman Kamal Thapa of Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal has demanded a probe to investigate incessant flow of funds in the country to carryout religious conversion(s).
Thapa was speaking in the parliament, April 29, 2014.
"Few days back, a main opposition leader had strongly raised the issue of flow of funds from foreign sources to derail the peace process. But, for the last few years funds are being pumped into the country to carryout religious conversion. Why has this issue not been raised in the parliament as yet," asked Thapa.
On a different note Thapa claimed that the majority of the parties prior to the CA polls had made the commitment to hold the local level election in six months time. However he said, five months have already passed since election held but there is no sign of declaring the election date until now. The parties have themselves foiled the prospect of local level election, he added.
He also said that as per the revived mandate following the second election of the CA, election to the president and vice president should also have been held but due to political bargaining between the ruling parties it has also been distanced.
The fact is that none of the parties listen to Thapa's cry.

What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?
A remote working, professional freelance administrator.
Who are Virtual Assistants?
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is somebody who offers their professional administrative services to businesses and individuals. As they are self-employed they appeal to small and medium sized organisations looking to expand, but reluctant, or unable, to take on additional staff. Other barriers for taking on employees include the employee-burden of taxes, insurance, pensions and office space. Another advantage is the flexibility Virtual Assistants can offer; Business owners and Executives can retain their services for a few hours each month or on an ad hoc basis for one-off projects.
You need extra help but don't have:
- Consistent additional workload
- The budget to pay for more staff
- Physical office space for extra personnel
Virtual Assistants are highly-trained and experienced business professionals with a background in office management or high-level Executive Assistant/Personal Assistant experience. Their unique, individual skill-sets and talents are determined by their professional background. Because there has been a rise in the number of administrative professionals making the transition into freelance Virtual Assistant work, it is possible for business owners and individuals to find the right partner for their needs.
Technology has been a real driving force behind the growth of Virtual Assisting, with cloud based services, email and video calls it is possible for business tasks to be carried out anywhere with internet access.
Ultimately, Virtual Assistants help organisations and people become more productive and they facilitate growth while minimising risk. The benefits can be substantial.

Event planning
Impressing your customers with a memorable event takes meticulous planning and organising. Whether you are launching a new product, organising an away-day, hosting a seminar or planning a conference, to ensure your event runs smoothly you need someone dedicated to its planning and organisation. A Virtual Assistant will work tirelessly to find you the right venue, maintain your guest list and work alongside suppliers. While the event management is in their capable hands you can concentrate on other aspects of your business.
Being more organised
Perhaps your working life is full of post-it-notes, voice memos and calendar notifications reminding you to chase payments, answer client enquiries, update website content, paying suppliers and so on. All of this before your mid-morning coffee! Hire a Virtual Assistant and become more organised. Furthermore, you'll soon become the outstanding business owner you've always aspired to be.

Heat (Hardcover)
Email or call for price.
Hard to Find
The #1 New York Times bestseller inspired by the true-life story of a former little leaguer Twelve-year-old Michael Arroyo lives in the shadows of Yankee Stadium, home of his heroes, but a place that might as well be on a different continent since he can't afford to see the inside. He also lives in the shadows of his Bronx neighborhood, hiding from the bill collectors and the officials who would separate him from his seventeen-year-old brother if they knew the two boys were living on their own. Baseball is Michael's only salvation, along with his dream of playing in the Little League World Series--until a rival accuses Michael of being older than the league limit. With no parents and a birth certificate that is stuck in his native Cuba, the shadows in Michael's life grow darker. But that is when heroes emerge, and for Michael, heroes don't come any bigger than the Yankees. Praise for HEAT * "The dialogue crackles, and the rich cast of supporting characters nearly steals the show. Top-notch entertainment in the Carl Hiaasen mold."--Booklist, starred review "Lupica scores another hit with this warmhearted novel."--School Library Journal " C]onvincing characterization and exciting on-field action help Lupica throw out a baseball story with heart."--Publisher's Weekly

Professor Nicolás Wschebor will lecture on effective theories at Polytechnique
Professor Nicolás Wschebor, from the University of the Republic of Uruguay in Montevideo, is an expert of effective field theories. He will spend the Winter 2017-2018 at École polytechnique as a Distinguished Visiting Professor.
During his stay at École polytechnique, his group will be hosted by the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPHT) and will collaborate with members of the particle physics group, in particular on the study of infrared aspects of non-Abelian gauge field theories using a novel perturbative approach. His high-level and broad expertise on the functional renormalization group, a definitely interdisciplinary theoretical tool, will also help to trigger new collaborations with other members of the theory department.
Professor Wschebor will lecture at M2 level on effective field theories in statistical mechanics, focussing on the relations with high-energy physics. His course will be complementary to the quantum field theory courses, and will in particular cast a new light on the central concept of the renormalization group. The Higgs phenomenon, which leads to the breaking of the electroweak symmetry in particle physics, will be reviewed in the context of the general theory of phase transitions, and analogies with e.g. the superconductivity phenomenon in condensed matter physics will be highlighted.
After his bachelor in Montevideo, Nicolás Wschebor came to Paris for his master's degree in theoretical physics, which he earned from École Normale Supérieure in 1999. He subsequently prepared his PhD at LPT/Orsay, and then moved to IPhT/Saclay for a postdoc. Since 2003, he is back at University of the Republic in Montevideo as a Professor.

The immunologists were able to develop a model vaccine, which targeted these 'T-helper type 1' cells, and then showed experimentally that its use led to improved infection outcomes.
Assistant Professor in Immunology in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity, Dr Rachel McLoughlin, said: "To design an effective vaccine it is imperative you know how a bacterium interacts with its host. By screening patients with Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections we were able to isolate key players in the immune system that dealt with these infections and then designed a model vaccine that effectively sparked them into action."
The World Health Organisation (WHO) warns of an impending "post-antibiotic era," with the potential to undermine modern medicine. Anti-microbial resistance is a global crisis that demands the development of new antimicrobials, but developing alternatives to antibiotics such as vaccines would prevent infection in the first place.
The bacterium S. aureus is a major cause of healthcare-associated infections, and blood stream infections caused by S. aureus are associated with significant mortality. Resistance in S. aureus to the main antibiotic used for treatment, methicillin, was first reported in the 1960s and, over the past decades, antibiotic resistant S. aureus, or MRSA, has become endemic in hospitals throughout the world.
The incidence of MRSA blood stream infections in Irish hospitals has been steadily decreasing in recent years, but is still higher than several other European countries, which means there is an urgent need to develop a vaccine to prevent this infection.
To date, around eight promising candidate vaccines have failed in clinical trials, despite showing promise in pre-clinical models. Traditional approaches to vaccine development have thus failed to develop an effective weapon against MRSA.
We now know that cellular immunity (involving 'T-cells') is vitally important in protection against S. aureus infection, because individual T-cell subsets are very important for activating phagocytes – the immune cells that ingest and kill bacteria.
Dr McLoughlin and her colleagues found that 'T-helper type 1 cells' were elevated in patients following S.aureus infection. Their model vaccine, which jolted these cells into action, improved infection outcomes. The results therefore support the design of vaccines that specifically target these cells in humans.
Dr McLoughlin said: "This study demonstrates the importance of truly translational research. Using pre-clinical models we identified an immune mechanism important for protection against S. aureus infection, but it was via collaboration with clinicians at three Dublin teaching hospitals that we were able to translate these findings to show the same mechanism of immunity is relevant in human infection. Our findings will directly inform the design of next-gen anti S. aureus vaccines and could significantly increase our chances of realizing an effective vaccine to protect patients from MRSA."
The research was supported by funding from the Health Research Board (HRB) and the Wellcome Trust. A copy of the journal article, just published in PLOS Pathogens, is
