Graduation Day
Everything felt wrong. Every inch of my five-year-old body felt under intense scrutiny. A social inspection I was failing from my steps, gesture and posture. My size four shoes? Why were they squeezing my toes so tightly? Didn't Mami say these were the ones that fit?
Waiting in the queue leading to the auditorium, I bend over in a futile attempt to loosen my shoes and my graduation cap falls off my head. My heart sinks. Mami and Papi had spent what felt like ages getting that cap to fit on my head properly. It felt uncomfortable and too small for my head. I picked it up off the ground quickly, hoping the white cap hadn't been stained as I attempted to shove it back atop my head.
Mrs. Metro, my kindergarten teacher, came over to me at that moment. "Aw, Karl, let me help you," she said sweetly. "We want you looking handsome on your big day."
I stood in awkward appreciation at Mrs. Metro's kind words as she adjusted my cap back onto my head. She always knew how to make me feel OK.
A few moments later, the doors to the auditorium swung open. Bright lights poured through the entrance and there were flutters in my stomach. Everyone would be seated in that big room and they'd be looking at me.
We practiced what we were supposed to do with Mrs. Metro last week. We were supposed to walk in a single file line when the doors opened and take our seats. Then you wait for your name to be called. When your name is called, you walk to the front of the stage…by yourself…and grab the piece of paper from the man in front. After grabbing the piece of paper, you would turn and look at the man holding the camera.
When he says, "Cheese!" smile for the camera. I remembered all of it and hoped I wouldn't mess it up. Mrs. Metro led us into the auditorium and the lights looked even brighter than I imagined. I wasn't sure if I had seen so many people in one place.
My size four shoes felt too tight.
I flopped into my seat and my graduation gown bunched up uncomfortably in the front. I lifted myself up and tried to rearrange the fabric, so I could sit comfortably.
I couldn't sit comfortably.
I heard applause from the crowd and a man's voice booming from a microphone. I could barely make out what he was saying. But I was focused on just hearing the sound of my name.
"…Kelsey Grant…"
"Tiffany Hardwick…"
"William Hunting…"
"…Karl Hyppolite…"
It was my turn. I got out of my seat and walked toward the man. He placed the piece of rolled up paper in my hand and I tried not to fumble it. I placed my little hands at two ends of the paper just like Mrs. Metro told me and looked at the man with the camera.
There's a bright light shining in front of me. I can't see much but I hear the word "Cheese!" cut through the air. I smiled as brightly as I could.
My size four shoes felt too tight.

London-based recycling business First Mile has taken action to ensure its fleet is ready for April's Ultra Low Emission Zone as it continues to roll out cleaner vehicle tech.
Founded in 2004 to provide easy recycling services for businesses, First Mile works for 14,000 businesses in the UK and is focused on environmental goals, including zero-emission deliveries. Already, in central London, First Mile operate 150 zero emissions deliveries a day through its new electric vans and its first cargo-bike and is also on a mission to electrify its whole fleet.
It's also optimised route optimisation programmes to determine the most fuel-efficient route for the collection and delivery vehicles. Additionally, all vehicles are fitted with telematics to deter heavy breaking, fast acceleration and idling.
The firm is also driving efficiency through other measures, including deploying its central London waste sorting depot, located in Park Royal, which has further reduced emissions.
Commenting on the firm's actions, Bruce Bratley, founder and chief executive of First Mile, said: "For businesses like ours with a fleet of over 70 vehicles operating in city centres, turning the fleet green is a substantial investment, but one that is absolutely necessary. As a leading sustainability company, we wouldn't be staying true to our values or providing the green service that we promise to our customers if we didn't. All businesses have a responsibility to minimise their impact on the environment, and reducing toxic emissions that poison the environment and the air we breathe is a big part of that.
"We knew we had a backstop of 8 April with London's Ultra Low Emissions Zone, so we systematically upgraded our fleet in order to be ready for that date. We started updating the fleet to Euro 6 three years ago and have been gradually replacing our older fleet. Euro 6 vehicles have much larger exhaust systems which initially lead to some chassis configuration issues whereby the payload we could carry was less. We worked closely with the engineers at DAF who quickly reconfigured our chassis to accommodate a larger body. This was very important to us because we want to ensure full vehicle utilisation to reduce emissions per tonne of waste collected.
"First Mile were early adopters of Euro 6 trucks and all the manufacturers we used experienced issues with the emissions control units, and subsequent engine issues such as overheating. These issues now seem to be resolved and we are getting back to the reliability we expect from leading OEMs like DAF, Mercedes and ISUZU.
"Our next goal is operate zero-emission collection vehicles which would be ideal for our central London rounds. We have trialled several vehicles, but unfortunately the technology for these trucks is not yet ready and manufacturers have unreasonable expectations on price and usage. For example, we operate all our diesel fleet at least 18 hours per day (2 shifts), which is not feasible for a battery powered vehicle as there is no time available for charging. Currently electric vehicles cost almost double that of diesel, and if we were only able to operate on single shifts, our current fleet would cost four times as much to acquire and there would be a significant cost in terms of embedded carbon in vehicle and battery production. However, we would love to hear from any OEMs with new tech they want to test in a harsh operating environment!"

Introduction: Wine Glass Stem Ring Holder
I was working with wine glasses on another project.
I was cutting off the base and stem of the glasses.
I came up with an idea of saving the cut offs and using them as Ring Holders.
A little polishing to get rid of the sharp points and they will make great gifts.
Step 1: Gather Things Up
Long stem wine or water glass - the ones I used were 9 inches tall overall - 3 1/4 inch diameter base - with approximately 3 1/4 inch stem.
Diamond saw – I am lucky to have access to one. Note: I did one wine glass with a stain glass cutter and got a good result.
Grinding wheels/sand paper – grits – 100, 220 400, 600, 1200– Again; I am lucky to have access to power wheel grinders/sanders. When I was younger I used by hand wet silicon carbide sanding paper to smooth and polish cut pop bottles.
hand glass cutter
painters tape
Step 2: Let's Get Started Cutting the Glass
I picked up some wine glasses from my local dollar store. I am sure you can find some glasses at a thrift store. Also, keep this project in mind when a glass breaks (save the stem and base).
Cutting the Stem:
I used a power diamond saw to cut off the base and some of the stem. There is no exact spot to cut the stem, but cut enough for rings to fit on. For this project - I cut the stems anywhere from 1 to 2 1/2 inches up from the base.
Please note; glass is very unpredictable especially when cutting and polishing. For Safety - Adding blue painters tape around the glass and/or wearing gloves is advisable. When I used the hand stain glasscutter, I put the entire glass under a heavy towel before striking it to break.
Clean with soap and water.
Note: This power diamond saw uses oil for lubricant and coolant.
Step 3: Polishing the Glass
Water and more water will be needed to take the sharp edges off and polish the cut glass.
I started with 100 grit to take off the sharp edges.
Then I use finer grit levels to polish - 220 400, 600, and 1200. I really just rounded off the top of the stem - to avoid cut fingers when using.
Clean with soap and water.
Step 4: Finished – That Is It – Some Examples
This is a great project.
What was once considered scrap from another project, turns out to be a great gift.
It makes me feel good not to throw things away.

Do you sell the top parts too? I am looking for a martini glass with the base removed to replace one that broke on a serving dish I have.

Shield Challenge buses confirmed
on Wednesday, 08 August 2018. Posted in Turbos News
The Manawatu Rugby Union is hoping to ensure the Turbos' Ranfurly Shield challenge against Taranaki is greeted by a green army by putting on buses to the match.
The Turbos challenge for the Ranfurly Shield on Friday 24 August against Taranaki at Yarrow Stadium in the second round of the Mitre 10 Cup.
The union has organised buses to get Turbos fans to the New Plymouth venue.
Manawatu Rugby Union chief executive Shannon Paku, who has had plenty of experience playing in front of parochial crowds during his playing days, said it was important to get as many Turbos fans as possible to the ground.
"When you play in front of a full house in those times when you are in the bottom of a ruck, or you are laying on the ground, or need to chase someone down to make a tackle, you hear the crowd roar and you grow another leg," he said.
He said opportunities to challenge for the shield were something for players and fans alike to savour.
"The Ranfurly Shield challenge poses a unique opportunity to witness history. We are really excited by the team that Jeremy Cotter and Aaron Good have put together and we believe we have a good chance to return the Log o' Wood to its rightful home.
"We have a limited number of seats available, so Turbos fans need to get in quickly to make sure they don't miss out."
This year marks 40 years since the province last held the shield when the great Manawatu side of late 1978 controversially fell to North Auckland deep into referee's time.
It ended a 13-match shield tenure that started with an historic win over Auckland in 1976.
Manawatu v Taranaki Ranfurly Shield Challenge in New Plymouth

Product Review: Snuggle Me Cushion
Hi all!! My silence is finally broken! Austin and I have made it thru the last few weeks of a growth spurt and recovery from a dairy protein allergy. Let's just say my time has been completely consumed by caring for him and making sure he is happy, safe, and most importantly healing at 100%! Everything is under control again -- and I am back on the Advanced Plan. No more yogurt or raw cheese for me. :( All for the sake of a happy healthy baby!
I have a wonderful product to share with you, one that has helped me SO MUCH over the last two months since Austin's birth. It is called the Snuggle Me Organic Cushion. The Snuggle Me Cushion is a portable infant bed that can be placed just about anywhere in your home, so that mom knows where baby is and that baby is safe. It allows mom to have her hands free to take care of herself or, in my case, the much needed house work. Simply Mommy was so kind so send me a Snuggle Me Organic Cushion to try out with Austin.
Because I practice Attachment Parenting, I want to make sure Austin feels comforted even when I need to put him down. The Snuggle Me Cushion does that! I think I have found the Snuggle Me Organic Cushion most helpful when I needed to take a shower, wanted to cook a meal or simply make myself a salad, and when I just needed a little break to myself while Austin slept. It fits right into the Attachment Parenting lifestyle. And baby doesn't always have to be sleeping to be in the Snuggle Me. I have placed his Snuggle Me Cushion on our kitchen table with him in it, wide awake, while I prepared dinner. Austin loves to hang out in it, too. And as long as you place the Snuggle Me Cushion on a flat non-slippery surface, you can feel safe because baby isn't going anywhere. That is something else I love, the security you get from knowing he is safe right where you left him and can't roll off.
I also use the Snuggle Me Cushion while changing Austin's clothes, especially after a bath or if I need to run to the laundry room to get something out of the dryer for him. I can step away for a moment knowing he's not in any danger while I'm gone. And he stays right there for me even if he's slippery from his bath or wriggly from not wanting to put on a pair of pants. The Snuggle Me Cushion makes life with infant easier!
|Austin at 3 weeks using his Snuggle Me Organic Cushion
I am also a proud supporter of organic products. The fewer chemicals you bring your baby into contact with, the better for their long-term health. This is why I love that the Snuggle Me Organic Cushion is hypo-allergenic and covered with certified organic cotton twill. It also comes with a slip-on cover made of certified organic cotton fleece. AND, get this, the ENTIRE CUSHION is machine washable and dryable! How cool is that?! I must confess, the fourth day Austin used his Snuggle Me, he had an explosive diaper and his mustard colored poo was all over the cover and seeped thru to the cushion. At first I was freaked, thinking "How could we stain this after just a few uses?!" But after the quick wash in the washing machine (no rinsing, scrubbing, or pre-treating necessary), it came out just like new, no stains left behind. It really is simple to use AND simple to clean, just what a mom ordered!
Please go here and read more about the Snuggle Me Organic Cushion and all that it can be used for. There are so many benefits that will help make mom's life easier! I think our Snuggle Me Cushion has come so in handy that I've used it in just about every way on the list with Austin.
I also wanted to share the chiropractor's opinion of the Snuggle Me Cushion. My husband, Dave, uses the snuggle me when he adjusts Austin. He used to place Austin simply on the adjusting table, but he would squirm and move around, making what should be a simple and quick adjustment take a few minutes. Now, Dave places the Snuggle Me on the adjusting table with Austin resting on it. The sides hug him and Austin remains calm while Dave completes the adjustment. We are talking about getting one for use in his practice for adjusting the many babies he takes care of, and also a place for moms to put their babies while they get their adjustments. Dave also approves the Snuggle Me for the great spinal support. It is so important for babies to sleep in a proper position while their bodies grow. The Snuggle Me ensures their neck and back stay in alignment while baby sleeps. Two thumbs up from Dr. Dave!

There has developed, writes Walter Lippman "a functional derangement of the relationship between the mass of the people and the government." The people, he writes, "have acquired power which they are incapable of exercising, and the government they elect have lost powers which they must recover if they are to govern." What this means, is that there is a need for a responsible electorate and strong government.
Institutional decay can provide explanations for political, constitutional and economic crises, issues of governance and leadership, and the negative consequence of policies that lead to issues of poverty, unemployment, crime, and national security. Providing a culture for good governance and raising the level of living of the people is basically the responsibility of the government. Efforts in this context can only be fruitful in a friendly internal and external environment.
At this juncture in Pakistan's history, the most pressing need is for the country to stand united. The real question is not the power of the government itself, but how that power is used to prompt justice and national well-being. Only a modern, tolerant and democratic Pakistan could provide the political and social framework for overcoming complex crises. There should be an end to violence and disagreements are not something to be afraid of. In an open society, managing and resolving conflicts is an essential learnt skill.
Economic factors that create underdevelopment are influenced and shaped by local culture, and in particular, local political structure i.e. the state and public sector bureaucracies that manage the development effort. Our current politics is not supportive of efforts to address underdevelopment and to overcome the crises of poverty, growth and governance. To resolve all these issues, a sincere effort is needed in the education sector. This sector requires attention for reform and increased investment.
We have to remember that governance is not simply a heavy-handed approach to power. Governance is effective only when those who are being governed consent to obey. Most people within any organization are governed through coercion. Why else would we have the need for internal and external auditors? The aim of democracy, under such coercion, is to help public representatives acquire political management skills and good governance strategies to deliver welfare to the masses. If divorced from this fundamental aspect, as is the case in present day Pakistan, democracy becomes irrelevant to the nation.
Saner elements expect political leaders to demonstrate maturity, shun politics of hate and avoid unnecessary politicisation of issues. Crowd behavior and street politics do not match with democracy and responsible constitutionalism. Collective cooperative action is the need of the day. Every citizen of this country has the obligation to do things, which go a long way to enhance the strength of Pakistan. This country does not need self-seekers, or those who join politics for personal power.
Effective leadership makes politics meaningful. Research studies indicate that effective leaders are alike in one crucial way: they all have a high degree of what is known as emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership. A person can have the best training in the world, an incisive analytical mind, and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he/she still won't make a great leader. Versus technical skills and IQ, emotional intelligence proves to be twice as important as the others. The five components of emotional intelligence are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill.
Self-awareness is defined as the ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotions, and drives, as well as their effect on others. The hallmarks include self-confidence, realistic self-assessment and self-deprecating sense of humour. Self-regulation is defined as the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods, the propensity to suspend judgment, to think before acting. The hallmarks include trustworthiness and integrity, comfort with ambiguity, and openness to change. Motivation is defined as a passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or status, and a propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence. Its hallmarks include strong drive to achieve, optimism even in the face of failure, and organizational commitment. Empathy is defined as the ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people, and skill in treating people according to their emotional reactions. The hallmarks include, expertise in building and retaining talent, cross-cultural sensitivity, and service to the people (clients/customers). Social skill is defined as proficiency in managing relationships and building networks, an ability to find common ground and build rapport. Hallmarks include effectiveness in leading change, persuasiveness, and expertise in building and leading teams.
An important consideration for organizational as well as political leaders is creating a 'Culture of Trust'. Followers want leaders who are credible and whom they can trust. Effective leaders lead through empowerment of party workers and organizational workers thus increasing their decision-making discretion. Leadership styles, however, have to fit in cultural expectations. Adaptation and adoption become necessary to operate within cultural boundaries.
As Kahlil Gibran wrote, "You have to know who you are and what you are, whether you are of those entering into the world of life or of those going into the land of darkness. Are you a parasite living on the flesh of others or are you a devoted patriot who whispers into the ear of inner-self, 'I love to serve my country as a faithful servant.' If so, you are an oasis in the desert ready to quench the thirst of the wayfarer."

Just a few miles from Custer State Park is Wind Cave National Park.
Wind Cave is park number 39 for us.
It is the 7th dedicated national park and the first cave.
The cave is famous for its boxwork formations which are only found here.
Although the cave was interesting, I thought both
Carlsbad Caverns & Mammoth Cave were prettier caves.
It was a a very narrow cave with few other formations other than the boxwook.

Here are the other infamous spiritual gurus in India who have faced sexual assault allegations.
The conviction of the head of Dera Sacha Sauda sect on two counts of rape by a special court in Haryana on Friday has once again put the spotlight on allegations of sexual exploitation that have dogged self-styled god men in India.
Ram Rahim Singh was sentenced to a total of 20 years imprisonment on Monday in a high profile case that highlights sexual exploitation of women in cults.
Here are the other infamous spiritual gurus in India who have faced sexual assault allegations.
- Swami Premananda
Swami Premananda shifted base to south India in 1983 to escape ethnic violence in Sri Lanka.

The Supro Blues King 12 combo amplifier captures the vintage Supro amp tone that helped sculpt the sound of early electric Rock & Roll and the British Invasion of the 1960s. The "single-ended" Class-A tube power amp found in the Blues King provides the raw tonal characteristics and remarkable touch sensitivity of these mid-century combos, while delivering a full 15 watts of 6L6 tube power.
Front-end gain in the Blues King is supplied by a 12AX7 tube preamp and a FET-driven, fat boost function. In addition, the amp's high-gain mode uses a series of cascaded FETs to achieve face-melting levels of distortion and sustain. 3-band EQ and Master Volume controls join the footswitchable boost and gain functions to provide multiple layers of stackable overdrive for gigging, recording and home practice.
The Blues King features a custom-made genuine analog spring reverb, plus an effects loop for pedals and a line output for recording or feeding to another amplifier. The vintage-inspired poplar wood cabinetry is based on the mid-50's Comet model and comes loaded with a BK12 speaker. This custom-made, 12" driver was specifically designed to capture the magic of the original field-coil speakers used in American tube amps at the dawn of the electric era.

Gael defense leaky in Masuk tournament
Recommended Video:
The Shelton High boys basketball team entered the 15th annual Masuk Holiday Tournament with a 3-1 record and a load of confidence.
Coach Brian Gardiner had a quick response to why the Gaels will take a 3-3 record into the New Year, after dropping games to Bunnell of Stratford and the host Panthers in Monroe.
"We scored enough points," he said after Shelton lost 64-42 to Masuk in the consolation game on Friday night. "But our defense this week has been atrocious. Giving up 50 points or less is our goal; 60 or higher and we are in trouble."
Shelton dropped an 80-70 decision to Bunnell of Stratford in the first round of the tournament on Thursday.
It was the fourth straight game that the Bulldogs reached the 80-point mark.
Things were pretty much on target at 14-13 Masuk after one quarter.
Patrick Murphy opened the game with the first of his four 3-pointers and the Gaels did a good job distributing the ball in the period.
Mike Davis took the ball to the hole for a bucket and then the junior guard dished off to Craig Packnick, who buried a jumper from the foul line for a 7-4 lead.
Christian Federici's putback extended the lead to five, before Masuk (1-3) used multiple transition baskets to take a 14-11 lead.
Packnick found Chris Pawlowski open on the opposite block with a quick pass to close the deficit to one at the break.
Federici had five rebounds in the frame before garnering some quick fouls in the second session that limited his time the rest of the way.
The game took on a racehorse quality in the second quarter, which was won by Shelton 18-15.
Packnick had two free throws off a rebound and Ben Malay scored on a breakaway off a Davis steal and assist.
Murphy took a pass from Davis and nailed a corner jumper before Malay made a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer on a pass from Pawlowski.
Packnick's screen-and-roll bucket off another Davis assist ran Masuk into a timeout with Shelton in the lead 25-22 with 4:19 left in the first half.
The Gaels weren't to be denied.
Murphy (14 points) hit a jumper off of Davis' penetration of the lane. Davis added a clear-out drive and bucket before he tacked on a free throw after the buzzer for a 31-29 halftime lead.
Masuk shot the lights out in the third period when the Panthers went on a 19-10 run.
After making one 3-pointer in each of the first two periods, the Panthers knocked down four treys in the final three minutes of the third stanza, and tacked on two more to start the final frame.
Shelton didn't score from the field until two minutes were left in the third, when Packnick (10 points) knocked down a pull-up jumper from the foul line.
Murphy added a trey off one of Davis' eight assists, before Davis made three straight from the line to close the deficit to seven points at 48-41 with one period remaining.
Casey Belade scored on a baseline drive to make it a five-point game, and Justin Lynch buried a jumper but Masuk stayed hot and took the final stanza 16-11.
Malay scored 19 points for the Gaels in the loss to Bunnell.
Federici scored 15 points, Belade had 14, Pawlowski nine and Packnick eight.

L IFE is short. It is a most serious reflection,
L Life is short. The weakness and folly of childhood, the vanity and vices of youth, the bustle and care of middle life, and the infirmities of old age, (if we live to be old) what do they leave us? A short life indeed.
Yet, " man has a soul of vast desires." He is capable of much, and aims at more. Many things he cannot attain, and many are not worth the pains. Oh, 'tis pity that man should not know how to choose the good and refuse the evil !-how to make the most and best of so short a life!
Now, there is an infallible guide. Oh, that man would regard it! " Once hath God spoken ; yea, twice have I heard this :"—What is the chief end, the first business, the true interest of man?
Job was a man truly wise and eminently good; he had deeply considered the nature and value of wisdom; but he inquires, Where is it to be got? Men know where to get gold and silver; and get them they will, if possible, though at the hazard of life. " But where shall wisdom be found ? and where is the place of understanding ?" All nature falters in giving an answer; but God himself vouchsafes to give it. To man, he said, perhaps to Adam the first man; however, to us, to every one of us he says, " The fear of the Lord, behold, that is wisdom : and
to depart from evil, that is understanding." True religion is the true wisdom.
SOLOMON, deemed the wisest of men, speaks the same language; and thus concludes his book of dearbought wisdom. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; of what matter? The subject he proposed in the beginning of his book. What is the chief good ? - What is that good for the sons of men which they should do all the days of their life?" (Eccles. ii. 3.) And here we have it :-" Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man;" or rather the whole of man; his highest wisdom, his proper duty, his true excellence, his best interest. (Eccles. xii. 13.)
But a greater than Solomon is here. What saith JESUS, "the Wisdom of God," Wisdom incarnate! "This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." (John xvii. 3.) As if he had said, The way to eternal life,—the earnest of it,—the evidence of right and title to it,—and the final enjoyment of it, consists in, and is connected with, the knowledge of the only true God, in opposition to all false gods; and in the right knowledge of Christ his Son, the only Mediator and Saviour, in opposition to every other mediator, or pretended way of acceptance with God..
In our text, St. Paul adds his testimony to the former; the testimony of his own experience. He was a man of learning, and had been a zealot for the Jewish law, a hater of Christ, and a bloody persecutor of his church; but grace had renewed his mind and changed his heart; he no longer boasted of his works, or went about to establish his own righteousness; but the law became his schoolmaster, to bring him to Christ; through the law, he became dead to the law; now he desires to be found in Christ, and depends alone upon his righteousness.
What things were gain to him, he counted loss for

7 libros para abrir tu mente David Booth (4) Next up is building an email newsletter. The best services offer several ways to do this; you can import your own HTML, start from scratch, or use a pre-designed template. Most of these services have drag-and-drop UIs that let you choose exactly the elements you want to include, as well as image libraries in which you can store assets such as your logo or company photos. Tools that let you test your emails for spam are also essential since there are some seemingly innocuous terms that may send up red flags and drop all of your hard work into your subscribers' junk folders or, worse, get your emails banned before they ever reach their recipients.
Email marketing is all about expectations, and it's up to you to set them. If your call to action is strong, and your follow-up is consistent, then you can count on a positive campaign. However, if you promise to send one email per week and instead send them daily, then you're setting yourself up for failure. On the contrary, if someone is expecting daily updates or critical product updates and you don't' deliver, then they are likely to be just as upset in that case too.

#2 — Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Parenting & Relationships An exit-intent popup shows up at the precise moment the user is about to leave your website. This popup doesn't interrupt the reading experience and only triggers when the user is leaving. This is the perfect time for asking them to subscribe because likely they've read your content and found your site helpful.
Security Information Monitor brand mentions: Use a social listening tool like Social Mention to monitor and contribute to conversations happening in your niche. Here's an example. Let's say that a consumer visits your site and spends quite a bit of time looking at different products and adding them to their digital cart. Then, for some reason unknown to you, they leave without making a purchase. With email automation, you can make sure that this user receives an email shortly after they abandoned their cart, reminding them of what they left behind and asking if they need help completing their purchase. In this case, email marketing automation turns a missed opportunity into an opportunity to build a stronger relationship and make a sale.

|Robert Motherwell, Elegy to the Spanish Republic no, 110, 1971, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, via Wikipedia.
This quirky little piece flashes with odd insights and surreal pictures, like that of a bank where they have armed tellers and loan officers instead of security guards, or of a man so rich he owns everything in the plural, things like banks that people really do own, and things they don't, like schools, and might plan, "I'll do that thing with my schools that I do with my banks." Or of "hardened" schools, I realize he's not making that one up, but when the expression acquires Trump's voice it acquires the strangeness of its literal meaning, of schools in danger of melting or crumbling that need to be reinforced, stiffened, or they could disappear into the natural surroundings. Then it slips into imagining something darker, the mentality of what he's elsewhere called the "sicko shooter", the attacker against whom the banks and schools must be guarded.
They Live For Gun Free Zones
by Donald J. Trump
You'd need 100, 150 security guards... But you
could have concealed on the teachers.
I want my schools protected just
like I want my banks protected.
We have to harden our schools
not soften them up. A gun free zone
to a killer or somebody that wants
to be a killer, that's like going in
for the ice cream. That's like here I am,
take me! We have to get smarter in gun free zones.
When they see it says this is a gun free zone
That means that nobody has a gun except them.
Nobody's going to be shooting bullets inThe shooter in Trump's head is unexpectedly cheery, enterprising, eager for the pleasure, like somebody after that extra scoop of ice cream that nobody else gets; wanting to be wherever he's the only guy with a gun, the only source of the bullets. In this way the concept of the gun-free zone fills him with delight: you can picture him scoping out neighborhoods, looking for the gun-free zones. They're "beautiful targets"—they call to him, "Take me!" He lives for gun-free zones.
the other direction. And they see that
as such a beautiful target. They live for gun free zones.
So that if you're "smarter" you'll make it generally known that you have guns on your premises, and he won't be interested. When he's checking you out, in his search for beautiful targets, and finds on your website, or driving by your signage, or whatever it is killers do, that you've got a gun-rich environment, he'll be put off, and keep looking.
Of course if you're thinking about reality, that doesn't work very well. Politifact finds that there's no good evidence to correlate mass shootings positively or negatively with gun-free zones. Robert Mackey writing for The Intercept finds that mass shooters rarely if ever take this into consideration, since their main interest seems to be typically in killing people in places they have an emotional connection with—a hated workplace, for instance, or a school they've attended, or an abortion clinic. The case of the Sandy Hook killings seems like one clear exception, but it should be remembered that that shooter did begin by shooting his mother, and ended by shooting himself.
Which is another thing: almost none of these killers survives, so it's impossible to ask them whether they were picking gun-free zones or not. This also indicates that they're not in it for the ice cream, but for death, as Scott Bonn argues, either as a suicide or in what's becoming familiar as a suicide-by-cop, what Michael Kimmel and Cliff Leek describe as the white guy who wants to die. Avoiding getting shot is not the mass shooter's main motivation.
But Trump isn't writing social science, he's writing poetry, and what we see in these lines is not to be read as some kind of theoretical prediction. Rather it's the poet imagining what it would be like if he were a mass murderer with a semiautomatic rifle; it would be fun!

Lewis Wallace came from a political background, much as had William Wallace. His father had been a successful lawyer and jurist and later served as Lieutenant Governor and then Governor of Indiana. Lewis followed in his father's footsteps and became a lawyer in his turn.
Lew Wallace was active in Indiana politics but remained a Democrat even when Oliver Morton, disenchanted with the party's growing appeasement of the militant pro-slavery Southern wing, bolted the party and joined the new Republican Party.
Lew Wallace's career, like William Wallace's, was interrupted by service in the Mexican War, where he served in the 1st Indiana Volunteer Infantry.
However, when Lew witnessed the Lincoln-Douglas debates, he was greatly impressed by Lincoln's performance–far more so than that of Stephen Douglas's. Witnessing the growing sectarian division in the country, Lew even organized a militia company–The Crawfordsville Guards Independent Militia–in Indiana several years before the outbreak of war, looking towards the day it would be needed to help preserve the Union.
After the Election of 186O, as it became obvious that it was pro-slavery militants who were actually going to precipitate a civil war, Lew Wallace finally threw his lot in with the Republicans. Lew was what was called a "War Democrat." Wallace went to Governor Oliver Morton to volunteer his services for the Union.
Initially, Wallace was made Adjutant General and put in charge of helping organize the masses of recruits flooding into the training camps throughout Indiana. Lew was then given commission as Colonel of the 11th Indiana Volunteer Infantry and dispatched with his command to help liberate western Virginia (later West Virginia). The core of Wallace's regiment consisted of his old company of volunteers, now expanded to a full regiment of zouaves. After seeing some brief skirmishing in Virginia, the regiment's term of enlistment expired, but it was soon replaced by a three year regiment. In September, however, Colonel Lew was promoted to general and given a brigade to command.
In February, 1862, Brigadier Lew Wallace took part in the expedition to attack the Confederate forts guarding the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee. Now part of General Smith's division, Wallace's brigade was at first given the passive role of garrisoning Fort Heiman, an unoccupied Rebel defense across from Fort Henry, which had been blasted into submission by Flag Officer Foote's flotilla of gunboats.
Soon, however, Grant precipitous advance on Fort Donelson necessitated his calling up Wallace's unit to close the siege of the Rebel stronghold. Although told not to take offensive action by Grant, General Wallace, now in charge of a full division, realized that nearby Federal troops were about to be overrun and, against orders, advanced to prevent an enemy breakthrough. He arrived to find General William Wallace's outnumbered troops falling back and rushed to their rescue, saving the day. The Confederate counter-attack a failure, the enemy inside Fort Donelson soon surrendered to Grant.
After the successful conclusion of the Donelson Campaign, Lew Wallace found himself promoted to Major General and in command of a division on a permanent basis. He was soon dispatched up the Tennessee River where the next campaign, aimed against the strategic rail junction of Corinth, Mississippi, was starting to take shape. Lew's first mission was to cut the Mobile and Ohio Railroad north of Corinth, even as Sherman's division was to cut the railroad south of the city. Wallace's mission was a success and he returned to his temporary camp along the Tennessee. General Lew Wallace expected an advance on Corinth proper would follow almost immediately as that post was still weakly held. But it was not to be.
Instead, General Henry Halleck, the departmental commander–nicknamed "Old Brains"– had decided to wait and have both Grant and General Buell's armies rendezvous near Savannah, Tennessee, before moving against Corinth. In the wake of the spectacular victory at Fort Donelson and the fall of Nashville, Wallace's superiors believed the Rebellion was all but over. Wallace's temporary advance base at Crump's Landing was therefore made his division's bivouac, as he awaited the rest of the Union forces to accumulate further downriver.
As the bulk of the army gathered at Pittsburg Landing, some six to eight miles distant, Lew Wallace feared that his isolated division was vulnerable to enemy attack. Wallace deployed his brigades in depth, even as he sent out cavalry patrols and scouts (spies) to reconnoiter the countryside.
Wallace also familiarized himself with the roads in the area and set work details repairing all the roads and bridges leading to Pittsburg Landing. Unfortunately, Generals Sherman and Grant were not so diligent in scouting and patrolling, nor in constructing roads to link the separated sections of their main camps at Pittsburg Landing. Of redoubts and barricades, there were none built by Grant to slow an enemy attack.
Several days before the April 6 attack, Lew Wallace's spies reported a major movement of the Confederate Army from Corinth, headed for Pittsburg Landing. Lew Wallace immediately sent a dispatch to Grant, which should have been in Grant's hand no later than the morning of the 5th of April. In his memoirs, Wallace gives Grant "the benefit of the doubt" as to whether or not Grant received the dispatch. In any case, Wallace informed his brigade commanders to make ready to move on short notice, expecting an attack at any time.
In the actual event, on the morning of April 6th, although Grant and Sherman were not technically surprised—several frontline units had tried to warn their superiors to no avail—in fact the Confederates caught them unawares and totally unprepared.
When Wallace, at Crump's Landing, first heard the firing around six a.m., he immediately put his command in readiness to march, awaiting Grant's marching orders. It wasn't until about 8:30 that Grant appeared on the Tigress at Crump's Landing and at that time merely instructed Wallace to "hold yourself in readiness to march upon orders received." When Wallace informed Grant that his command was ready to march immediately, Grant simply said "hold the division in readiness ready to march in any direction."
It wasn't until 11:30 a.m. that Wallace finally received Grant's marching orders via one of Grant's aides, who had translated Grant's verbal orders into writing. Whether the written orders actually reflected Grant's verbal intent has been the subject of dispute.
General Wallace's column was actually making good progress towards the battlefield, when a series of orderlies and aides came up from behind, with panicked instructions from Grant, urging Wallace to "hurry up." Finally, Grant's assistant adjutant, Major Rawlins, came up and under threat of being relieved, told Wallace he was on the "wrong road," and to divert towards the low-lying road close to the river.
In fact, Wallace had long since surveyed all the roads towards Shiloh and was proceeding on the shortest route; it was a route that would put him on the right of Sherman's original camp, where Grant's original instructions ordered him to go. However, the Union forces had been forced backwards towards the river since the early morning and Wallace's route would put him behind and on the flanks of the Confederate attackers—as it turns out, exactly where he would have been able to make a difference in the first day's flight.
However, taking Major Rawlins petulant demands as a direct order from Grant, General Lew turned his column around and marched it back to a road that would take the division southward to the sodden and marshy river route—a route which was in places covered with water as high as a horse's breast. After making this detour, Wallace's progress slowed to a crawl and his force was not able to reach the battlefield until after dark–after the end of the day's fighting and too late to make a difference in the first day's battle.
Earlier that day, as General Lew Wallace awaited orders, the situation at Shiloh had gone from bad to worse, as the Union forces were repeatedly outflanked and pushed back towards the river.
William Wallace, now in charge of the Second Division, had his command's bivouac close to the river. Nevertheless, as soon as William Wallace heard the distant sound of firing, he ordered the drummers to sound the "Long Roll," mobilized his division and arrived close to the front in short order. Initially, the Second Division was employed as a reserve, detaching units to the support of the frontline divisions that were desperately attempting to repulse the repeated Confederate attacks. However, because of a lack of unified command—each division fighting on its own front and lacking coordination from Grant—and a lack of prepared defenses to rally around, the Confederates were able to penetrate between the separated Union forces and flank them repeatedly. Whole regiments and even brigades of Federal troops disintegrated and fled to the rear—but not the men under William Wallace's direct command.
It was not until the afternoon that Wallace, along with the surviving fragments of General Prentiss' division and miscellaneous units, were able to form a stable front on the crest of a thicket covered ridgeline with a shallow sunken road meandering along it—what the Rebels called "The Hornet's Nest." For a large part of the afternoon Wallace's division, along with the other units, held back repeated Confederate attacks, drawing off Rebel units from other parts of the battlefield and allowing the beaten and demoralized survivors elsewhere to retreat to Pittsburg Landing, where they crowded the riverfront by the thousands—perhaps the tens of thousands.
Finally, subjected to a massed artillery barrage and nearly surrounded, William Wallace ordered a fighting retreat. All was going well for the Second Division as it escaped the tightening noose. However, as he directed his men's withdrawal, a sniper shot hit William Wallace in the head and he was left for dead as the retreat became a rout.
The next day, General Lew Wallace launched a counterattack on the right on his own initiative, lacking any direct orders from Grant since the day before. Similarly, on the left of the field, General Don Carlos Buell's troops also counterattacked. Supposedly, the survivors of the first day's fight, compressed into the center of the semi-circular federal line defending the landing, also attacked—although by mid-afternoon on Monday, April 7th, General Buell's extreme right was covering General Lew Wallace's extreme left.
The action of the 7th—which Buell's men forever after called "Buell's Battle"—is what allowed Grant to claim victory in his reports and memoirs. In all the recriminations following the Battle of Shiloh, Lew Wallace was criticized as "going slow" on the 6th and becoming either confused or lost on his way to battle—none of which was true.
General William Wallace, whose courage and rock-steady leadership in the face of overwhelming odds helped save Grant's command, received scant recognition in all the reports of the battle. Due in large part to his fatal wounding and being unable to tell his version of the battle, William Wallace never received the full credit due him at Shiloh.
As for Lew Wallace, while Grant ultimately exonerated him of any wrongdoing, his reputation remained under a shadow even after the war.
The two Generals Wallace, both "political generals," men committed to the cause and competent leaders in peace and war, each deserved far better of History than they have so far received.
For more about William Wallace and his wife Ann and the Battle of Shiloh, see Chapter 12 of Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War; for other, more unusual aspects of Shiloh and its aftermath, also see Chapter 11 of Ghosts and Haunts, as well as Chapter 31 of Strange Tales of the Dark and Bloody Ground.

Shortage of skilled manpower impedes Islamic banking
Speakers at a programme in the capital on Wednesday emphasised the need for creating a sizeable manpower capable of handling Islamic banking in Bangladesh.
They said the number of full-fledged Islamic banks and conventional banks doing Islamic banking has been going up.
Besides, applications to open more Islamic banks, branches and wings are now pending.
In such a situation, the speakers said, the authorities concerned should set up an institute for offering certificate courses and necessary training on Shariah-based banking and help create necessary skilled manpower.
They said these in a review paper -- 'Islamic Banking Operations of Banks 2018' -- presented at a dissemination programme, organised by the Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) at its campus.
According to the paper, about 90 per cent of the existing Islamic banks thought that there exist limited opportunity for getting rigorous training on Islamic banking in Bangladesh.
There is also scarcity of Islamic banking-related scholars to help expansion of the industry in Bangladesh, most banks said.
About 50 per cent of the banks said they applied for opening new Islamic banking branches and windows, but are not getting permission.
The review paper found that on an average 130 female staff members are employed in each Islamic bank.
It also mentioned that some non-Muslims are also working in the Shariah-based banking system.
The paper recommended establishing a separate Shariah Appellate Bench in the High Court for handling the cases related to Islamic banking.
The review paper suggested that the Bangladesh Bank (BB) can establish a specialised training institute, and include Islamic banking in the national curriculum as well as in schools and graduation level of higher education.
Speaking at the programme, S M Moniruzzaman, Deputy Governor of the BB, said Islamic banks have to operate in accordance with Shariah principles.
He also said the central bank directed the banks to form supervisory committee in each branch or wing to monitor activities.
Shah Md Ahsan Habib, Director of the BIBM, said Islamic banks should give more focus on compliance rather than profit growth.
Dr Haider Ali Miah, Managing Director of the Exim Bank Limited, said Islamic banking now constitutes around 27 per cent of the total banking of the world.
No Islamic bank was affected during the recession in 2008, as they are practicing real economy, not promoting bubbles, he opined.
He also urged the government to form a Waqf bank to look after Muslim charity and donation-related activities.
Yasin Ali, Supernumerary Professor of the BIBM, said Islamic banks themselves, not the BB, should establish institutes to meet their demand of skilled manpower.
He also opposed a new Islamic bank act, as demanded by the Islamic bankers at the discussion, and said the new act will shrink Islamic banking activities.
Helal Ahmed Chowdhury, another Supernumerary Professor of the BIBM, said Islamic Banking is no more a specialised banking.
"Islamic banking has become (a part of) the mainstream, and is accepted by all," he added.

Modern steel fabrication, new products, and new building ideas have revolutionised modern construction methods. Today's builders choose steel for better building quality, higher standards of living and effective design options for residential and commercial buildings.
From high-quality steel roofing to the structural base of a building, steel has continued to prove itself as a versatile, attractive and superior material.
The Beauty of Steel
The beauty of steel can be summarised in the results it has produced. Modern steel fabrication has resulted in better buildings, better designs, greater energy efficiency, and improved standards of living. Buildings that would have been impossible or prohibitively expensive to build in the past are now commonplace thanks to steel.
Architectural technology has been the driver behind new steel designs. For example, CAD design now allows you to provide specifications for every single weld in a skyscraper or design in a custom home. This allows you to plan for and visualise the possibilities for homes, commercial properties or even entire prefabricated modern buildings.
The Benefits
The benefits of steel start with your budget. It is a relatively cheap material and it's flexible for building, able to be configured into any kind of design. Reduced costs have also been a major factor in the exploration of new architectural techniques and ideas.
The cost factor underpins the practical aspects of building advanced architecture. Steel makes big spaces much more cost-viable, delivering value from the design screens to the end users.
Building with Steel: How Modern Roofing Reflects Advances in Architecture
New steel roofing materials are fabricated to deliver excellent roofing space, size, and architectural choices. Insulated metal roofs are the simplest and best way to provide roofing for bigger buildings and they come with the advantage of long product lives. Metal roofing can also scale with your property, making large homes and commercial spaces much more affordable to build and maintain.
Whether your building is residential or commercial, large or small, a metal roof will provide:
- High-quality materials for building
- A strong roof frame immune to termites, mould, frame warping and other usual problems with conventional roofing
- Cheaper installation costs
- Much longer product life
- Lower maintenance requirements and lower maintenance costs
You can see why architects, designers and builders don't need much convincing when it comes to using steel roofing. This is the no-nonsense approach to both design and construction.

— by Cristina Deptula
Last week, our own Joel Thomas came to talk to Chabot Space and Science Center staff and volunteers about the history of our understanding of light and time. His lecture, Galileo, George Washington and the Speed of Light, began with a discussion of Galileo's observations and how they supported the Copernican, sun-centric model of the solar system. Through his telescope, only 30x magnification, Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter, craters on the Moon, sunspots, and the phases of Venus, which suggested that the planet was orbiting the sun.
Understanding that our planet rotated around its axis and revolved around the sun allowed for us to calculate where we were by observing the sun's relative position in the sky. Latitude could be determined by looking at the sun's altitude at your local noontime and comparing it to figures in declination tables, which recorded how much the sun's position varied with distance from the equator. Figuring out longitude was possible because the earth rotated at a steady speed, 360 degrees a day, 15 degrees per hour. So if you compared your local time to Greenwich Mean time, you could see how far you had traveled in an east-west direction. This is a similar idea to knowing that you're in an eastern state if you are three hours ahead of California time.
Longitude was more difficult to determine as it required accurate measures of time, which were often hard to come by at sea or on long journeys. Astronomers, including Galileo, proposed that we could calculate time by using telescopes to track objects in space that moved in predictable patterns, such as the moons of Jupiter. These methods, although imperfect, assisted navigators and surveyors, including George Washington, until clockmaker John Harrison finally built a marine chronometer that was physically hardy enough to tell accurate time at sea.
When scientists understood that sunlight traveled through space to the parts of the earth that faced the sun, they wondered how light moved and how quickly it could go from one place to another. Some people guessed that the speed of light was infinite, as it was faster than anyone could quantify using lanterns, clocks or other technologies of the day. Astronomer Ole Roemer thought that light speed must be finite, because he observed differences in the orbital periods of Jupiter's moons when Earth moved towards or away from the planet. He explained this phenomena by saying that light took extra time to reach us when we were farther from Jupiter and calculated an estimate of the speed of light given that extra time.
Roemer estimated that light took 22 minutes to travel through the diameter of the Earth's orbit, so theoretically light speed could be calculated by dividing the diameter of the orbit by the time difference. His friend Christiaan Huygens did the calculation and came up with the best estimate anyone had developed for lightspeed up to that time, although the figure was off due to inaccuracy in the figure for the orbit diameter.
Over time physicists developed better technologies such as atomic clocks and lasers to determine the speed of light more precisely. The figure of 186,000 miles per second became common knowledge decades ago and in 1983 the International System of Units fixed that value as the official speed of light to be used for navigation and scientific research.
Joel Thomas ended his talk by pointing out how people could measure the speed of light in their own homes with a microwave and a stick of butter. Given the structure of a wave, the speed is equal to the frequency (the number of complete waves that pass by any given point per second) times the wavelength (the length of the wave from crest to crest). Most microwaves will list the frequency of the waves they emit in the owner's manual. As for wavelength, if you remove the turntable and place butter sticks in the microwave for a few seconds, you will see small bubbles from the areas where the waves crest and thus provide more energy to melt the butter more quickly. Measuring the distance between the bubbles gives you the wavelength, which you then multiply by the given frequency for your microwave to estimate the speed of light. Microwave radiation is also on the electromagnetic spectrum along with visible light, sound, X and gamma rays, etc so this calculation will also apply to light.
