Elites on both coasts are bravely boycotting Indiana, a state they were totally planning to visit next month. A new center honoring Ted Kennedy's legacy features a life-sized replica of the Senate Chamber, though its "Filibuster Simulator" is leading to long lines. And a British politician declared himself "A man of the world" after being caught looking for porn on Twitter. A man of the world, yes, but a true leader would've kept off Twitter and in an incognito window. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Monday, March 30th, 2015:
HOOSIER LEAST-FAVORITE STATE? AP: "Indiana's Republican legislative leaders said Monday they're working on adding language to a new state law to make it clear that it doesn't allow discrimination against gays and lesbians, while Democrats countered that a full repeal is the only way to stem the widespread criticism. The measure prohibits state laws that 'substantially burden' a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of 'person' includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. Businesses and organizations across the country have canceled future travel to Indiana, tabled expansion plans or criticized the legislation. Opponents have taken to social media with the hashtag #boycottindiana...The furor over the Indiana law stems in part from the fact that the state's civil rights laws don't ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. [Republican state house leaders] did not appear eager to add that language into the measure, noting that it is a big policy decision and that only four weeks remain in this year's legislative session." [AP]
CONNECTICUT WILL NO LONGER VISIT INDIANA - Jen Bendery: "Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy (D) will sign an executive order on Monday barring state-funded travel to Indiana because of the state's new law that could allow businesses to turn away gay and lesbian customers for religious reasons…. Malloy's move would make Connecticut the first state to boycott Indiana over its Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which Gov. Mike Pence (R) quietly signed into law last week…. A Pence spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Two cities, San Francisco and Seattle, have imposed similar bans in response to the law." [HuffPost]
INDIANA GOP SURPRISED DISCRIMINATION BILL UPSETS PEOPLE - From the same people who brought you "But 'colored only' water fountains cut down on lines!" comes their eagerly-awaited follow-up, "But religious freedom is the bestest!" Amanda Terkel: "Indiana's Republican leaders said they were shocked, confused and completely caught off-guard by the backlash to their new 'religious freedom' law, telling reporters Monday that they had not expected criticism calling the measure anti-gay. 'I don't think anyone anticipated that the characterization of the bill would be, this denies to services to a specific class to Hoosiers. It does just the opposite. It includes all Hoosiers in the religious freedom standard. And it's a misperception that it denies services,' said Indiana state House Speaker Brian Bosma (R) during a Monday morning press conference with Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long (R). Long acknowledged that the GOP-controlled legislature did not work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights groups on crafting the language of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act because the lawmakers didn't think the bill would affect that community." [HuffPost]
Watch and be amazed by Mike Pence's inability to answer George Stephanopoulos' straightforward question about the law.
When life gives you lemons, core out the lemons and use them as bongs: "Indiana's new 'religious freedom' law has been widely criticized and condemned by many, but an innovative marijuana activist in the state is using the bill's legal protections as a means to set up a new religious sect -- the First Church of Cannabis, where members would aim to use marijuana freely as a sacrament in a state where the substance remains banned." [HuffPost]

OOPS - Paul Farrell: "The personal details of world leaders at the last G20 summit were accidentally disclosed by the Australian immigration department, which did not consider it necessary to inform those world leaders of the privacy breach. The Guardian can reveal an employee of the agency inadvertently sent the passport numbers, visa details and other personal identifiers of all world leaders attending the summit to the organisers of the Asian Cup football tournament." [The Guardian]
DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - Chico Harlan has a story that might help people understand the weakness of the labor market right now: "Shanna Tippen was another hourly worker at the bottom of the nation's economy, looking forward to a 25 cent bump in the Arkansas minimum wage that would make it easier for her to buy diapers for her grandson. When I wrote about her in the Post last month, she said the minimum wage hike would bring her a bit of financial relief, but it wouldn't lift her above the poverty line. She called me the other day to say she didn't get to enjoy the 25-cent hike for long. After the story came out, she says she was fired from her job for talking to the Post." [Wash Post]

JEB BUSH ENJOYS THE FINER THINGS - Chris Frates: "There were plenty of red flags surrounding the company Jeb Bush was planning to join: lawsuits, bad headlines, even previously convicted drug dealers in top positions. But somehow Bush seemed to miss them all in 2007 as he prepared to join InnoVida as a $15,000-a month-consultant -- a position that would lead to board membership and stock options. Just months out of the Florida governor's mansion, the consulting gig with InnoVida would help Bush replenish his bank account after eight years in public service." [CNN]
MURRAY BACKS SCHUMER - Smash cut to January 2017 and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introducing SB 1, the "Let's Build 6,500 Bridges In The Greater Spokane Area" Act. Roll Call: "Having won the backing of the entire leadership team, New York's Charles E. Schumer might become the next Senate Democratic leader by acclamation. Conference Secretary Patty Murray, D-Wash., has joined in endorsing Schumer for the top job when Nevada Democrat Harry Reid retires at the beginning of 2017, according to a Murray aide. 'Senator Murray spoke to Senator Schumer several times over the past few days and told him that she planned to support him for leader next Congress and looks forward to continuing to be his partner in Senate Democratic leadership,' the aide told CQ Roll Call. Murray has long had a large portfolio within the Democratic caucus, and she's likely to only expand on those responsibilities in the next Congress. The news from Murray, which shouldn't come as a terrible surprise, comes after Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., predicted the caucus would unite behind Schumer." [Roll Call]

DENOUEMENT AT CATO INSTITUTE - Dave Weigel: "John Allison, the former BB&T banker who took over Cato in a much-watched power struggle between donors and scholars, will retire, the think tank said Monday; Peter Goettler, a former managing director at Barclays Capital, will replace him... [Cato founders] David and Charles Koch had taken a hands-off approach to Cato in the decade previous. When William Niskanen, one of four shareholders, passed away, the Kochs surprised libertarians by suing for his shares to be handed back to the board. Ed Crane, who'd run Cato since the beginning, blew up at the news...The unexpected media furor only ended after a deal that ended the contentious shareholder system, calmed the waters, and installed the affable Allison. It didn't end the outflow of libertarian scholars at Cato, as some left to found an eponymous Niskanen center, others for existing think tanks. But it brought Cato to normalcy during a couple of political years when the Kochs got more involved than ever before in electoral politics. Goettler, who doesn't have a long paper trail, just joined the Cato board six months ago; he has been on the board of the Atlas Network, a less politically riven think tank that promotes libertarian movements around the world." [Bloomberg]
TED KENNEDY *APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE* - We eagerly await the 50-foot recreation of Dave Obey's beard under construction at the Obey Center. Carl Hulse: "More than $18 million of the $38 million in public funds for the center was funneled through the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, a powerful panel once run by other Senate powerhouses who have died in recent years: Senators Daniel K. Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, and Ted Stevens, Republican of Alaska. Their contributions to the center are set to be remembered at the dedication: Their widows will be seated at desks in the centerpiece of the institute, a strikingly realistic replica of the Senate chamber." [NYT]
REPUBLICANS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT OBAMA THAN PUTIN - In their defence, the president has been operating a number of different information campaigns in this country. Politico: "Republicans are more concerned about the imminent threat posed to the United States by President Barack Obama than by Russia's Vladimir Putin or Syria's Bashar Assad, according to a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos. Thirty-four percent of Republicans see the president as an imminent threat, compared to only 25 percent for Putin and 23 percent for Assad. A roughly equal number of Republicans said Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was an imminent threat equal to Obama. Fear of the Democratic Party broadly also outranked fear of Putin and Assad, with 27 percent of Republicans saying they believe the Democrats pose an 'imminent threat' to the country.The poll found that only 12 percent of Democrats saw Republican House Speaker John Boehner as an imminent threat -- less than Putin or Assad, but more than Cuban President Raúl Castro and Chinese President Xi Jinping."

BRITAIN HAS ITS ANTHONY WEINER - Independent: "Labour MP Simon Danczuk has said he watches porn, claiming he is 'a man of the world' and that it was 'part of life'. The 48-year-old politician, who recently 'favourited' a hardcore 18+ porn site on his official Twitter, said although he did not use porn regularly, politicians should not be 'sanctimonious" about 'that sort of thing.' Danczuk told a Manchester radio news station that the account had been tagged by mistake after he plugged his phone into an unverified charger. He told the station 'unbeknown to be, I had favorited a tweet which related to this porn site image.' He went on to explain that while he did not watch porn regularly, 'I am a man of the world and it is part of life, many people do.' The MP, who currently seeking re-election in Rochdale, added that politicians should not be castigated for telling the public they watch porn." [Independent]

The Ottoman Dynasty had unusual succession practices compared to other monarchies.[1] Those succession practices changed over time, and ultimately the sultanate was abolished in 1922.
In the early period (from the 14th through the late 16th centuries), the Ottomans practiced open succession, or what historian Donald Quataert has described as "survival of the fittest, not eldest, son." During their father's lifetime, all of the adult sons of the reigning sultan would hold provincial governorships. Accompanied and mentored by their mothers, they would gather supporters while ostensibly following a Ghazw ethos. Upon the death of their father, the sons would fight among themselves until one emerged triumphant. How remote a province the son governed was of great significance. The closer the region that a particular son was in charge of the better the chances were of that son succeeding, simply because he would be told of the news of his father's death and be able to get to Constantinople first and declare himself Sultan. Thus a father could hint at whom he preferred by giving his favourite son a closer governorship. Bayezid II, for instance had to fight his brother Cem Sultan in the 1480s for the right to rule. Occasionally, the half-brothers would even begin the struggle before the death of their father. During the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (1520–1566), strife among his sons Selim and Mustafa caused enough internal turmoil that Suleiman ordered the death of Mustafa, leaving Selim II the sole heir.
With Suleiman and Selim, the favourite concubine (haseki) of the Sultan achieved new prominence. Gaining power within the harem, the favourite was able to manoeuvre to ensure the succession for one of her sons. This led to a short period of effective primogeniture. However, unlike the earlier period, when the sultan had already defeated his brothers (and potential rivals for the throne) in battle, these sultans had the problem of many half-brothers who could act as the focus for factions that could threaten the sultan. Thus, to prevent attempts upon his throne, the sultan practiced fratricide upon ascending the throne. The practice of fratricide, first employed by Mehmed II, soon became widespread.[2] Both Murad III and his son Mehmed III had their half-brothers murdered. The killing of all the new sultan's brothers and half-brothers (which were usually quite numerous) was traditionally done by manual strangling with a silk cord. As the centuries passed, the ritual killing was gradually replaced by lifetime solitary confinement in the kafes ("Golden Cage"), a room in the Imperial Harem from where the sultan's brothers could never escape, unless perchance they became next in line to the throne. Some had already become mentally unstable by the time they were asked to reign.
Mehmed III, however, was the last sultan to have previously held a provincial governorship. Sons now remained within the imperial harem until the death of their father. This denied them not only the ability to form powerful factions capable of usurping their father, but also denied them the opportunity to have children while their father remained alive. Thus when Mehmet's son came to the throne as Ahmed I, he had no children of his own. Moreover, as a minor, there was no evidence he could have children. This had the potential to create a crisis of succession and led to a gradual end to fratricide. Ahmed had some of his brothers killed, but not Mustafa (later Mustafa I). Similarly, Osman II allowed his half-brothers Murad and Ibrahim to live. This led to a shift in the 17th century from a system of primogeniture to one based on agnatic seniority, in which the eldest male within the dynasty succeeded, also to guarantee adult sultans and prevent both fratricides as well as the sultanate of women. Thus, Mustafa succeeded his brother Ahmed; Suleiman II and Ahmed II succeeded their brother Mehmed IV before being succeeded in turn by Mehmed's son Mustafa II. Agnatic seniority explains why from the 17th century onwards a deceased sultan was rarely succeeded by his own son, but usually by an uncle or brother. It also meant that potential rulers had to wait a long time in the kafes before ascending the throne, hence the old age of certain sultans upon their enthronement.[3] Although attempts were made in the 19th century to replace agnatic seniority with primogeniture, they were unsuccessful, and seniority was retained until the abolition of the sultanate in 1922.[4]
The Ottoman dynasty was expelled from Turkey in 1924.[5] The female members of the dynasty were allowed to return after 1951,[5] and the male members after 1973.[6] Below is a list of people who would have been heirs to the Ottoman throne following the abolition of the sultanate on 1 November 1922.[6] These people have not necessarily made any claim to the throne; for example Ertuğrul Osman said "Democracy works well in Turkey."[7]
According to genealogies of the House of Ottoman, there would hypothetically be twenty-five Princes now in the line of succession after Bayezid Osman, if the sultanate had not been abolished.[10][11][12] They are listed as follows; the succession law used is agnatic seniority, with the succession passing to eldest male dynast.[13]

On Monday, Aug. 11, news that Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams was dead of a suspected suicide at 63 stunned the world. From Taylor Swift to Ozzy Osbourne to Pete Wentz, Twitter was taken over by an outpouring of grief over the loss of the comedy titan. Although Williams struggled with depression before his death, he'll be remembered for the joy he brought to children and adults over the course of a lengthy career. In addition to five Grammy wins, Williams sang one of the most beloved songs in the entire Disney canon -- "Friend Like Me" as the Genie -- in 1992's Aladdin. Robin Williams' 10 Best Musical Moments Shortly after the tragic news went public, Aladdin composer Alan Menken gave Billboard a statement on his reaction to Williams' death: "If I had only watched Robin Williams on the TV screen, in the movies or on stage, I would consider myself blessed for having simply experienced his brilliance, his joy, his humor and his heart. The fact that I had the honor of sharing the creative process with him is an honor and a privilege that I will cherish for the rest of my life." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

Dufour, E. I. 2017. Advancing chemical characterization of feedstuffs commonly included in dairy cow rations. MS Thesis. Univ. of Nebraska, Lincoln.
A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science, Major: Animal Science, Under the Supervision of Professor Paul J. Kononoff. Lincoln, Nebraska: August, 2017
Copyright (c) 2017 Ellan Irene Dufour
Chemical composition of feedstuffs commonly included in dairy cow rations is variable within a feed type, which raises a potential for nutrient inadequacies for an animal. There are multiple methods to characterize and determine chemical composition including in vitro and in situ methods, as well as refining processing procedures to produce a consistent feed product. Feed component digestibilities can also be evaluated using similar methods.
Research reported in Chapter 2 focuses on characterizing chemical composition and determining the digestibility of fiber and protein fractions of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) originating from seven different production sites across Michigan, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Results indicate that chemical composition of DDGS, including amino acid composition and fatty acid composition, differed significantly among sources suggesting that processing procedures are variable and frequent analysis of chemical composition should be conducted to ensure quality control. Protein digestibility was determined using the Ross et al. (2013) method, with significant differences being reported among DDGS samples in the areas of rumen-undegradable protein (RUP), RUP digestibility, and total-tract digestible protein on both a crude protein and dry matter basis. Fiber digestibility was determined through a series of varying in vitro incubation periods, as well as using the Combs (2013) method of in vitro total-tract neutral detergent fiber digestibility. Significant differences were observed across all DDGS samples for protein and fiber digestibility estimates across production sites.
Chapter 3 describes the second experiment, focusing on quantifying the extent of microbial contamination of eleven different feedstuffs with varying chemical compositions. Feeds used in this study included alfalfa hay, bloodmeal, wet brewers grain, canola meal, citrus pulp, corn silage, corn dried distillers grains with solubles, grass hay, soybean meal, soy hulls, and SoyPass®. Samples were weighed into nylon bags and ruminally incubated for 16 hours to determine DM digestibility (DMD) and the RUP fraction. After ruminal incubation, samples were lightly rinsed, DNA was extracted, and concentrations of DNA were obtained using spectrophotometry. DNA samples were then run through a droplet digitial polymerase chain reaction procedure in order to quantify the extent of microbial contamination on each feed sample. As expected, chemical composition and DMD differed across feedstuffs. Microbial contamination upwardly biased RUP estimates and the extent of this contamination differed across feedstuffs, suggesting there may be an opportunity to increase our understanding of chemical composition of dietary components and the effect they have on the extent of microbial contamination.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The last three implosions of a power plant on the Northside brought down two boilers and a 640-foot smokestack right on schedule Friday morning.
The wrecking company used 600 charges and 600 pounds of dynamite in the choreographed imposition at 8 a.m.
WATCH IT AGAIN: 3 angles of Friday morning's implosion | Drone video of implosion |
GoPro video of implosion
Last summer, two cooling towers came down at the long-retired retired JEA/Florida Power and Light plant off New Berlin. Earlier this year, catalytic reactors on the outside of the boilers were imploded.
No roads were closed, but people who live nearby heard the detonation and noticed dust in the area. The Jacksonville Fire Department and Sheriff's Office were standing by just in case.
Friday's implosion was directed by the same company that managed the implosion of the cooling towers on June 8, 2018. That marked the beginning of the demolition of the power park and the end of an era in Jacksonville with the closing of what had been a joint JEA-Florida Power & Light facility.
Then, on April 12, the selective catalytic reactors on the outside of the boilers were imploded at the power park. That had to be done with precision, as the explosion actually cut the steel that was holding the reactors.
The total bill for all three demolitions ran close to $14.5 million.
The overall boiler structures, which were put into service in 1987, are 240 feet high and each boiler, including its support steel, weighs 11,500 tons. The smokestack had a shell weighing 14,325 tons and each chimney weighing 4,300 tons.
While Friday's implosion wasn't as visually striking as when the cooling towers came down last summer in just seconds, it might have been just as big a bang. It was bigger and louder than the one in April.
INTERESTING FACTS: SJRPP boilers | SJRPP stack
Crews will now remove materials from the site in preparation for remediation, cleaning up the contaminated land. That could take another year.
The demolition company said nearly 100% of the debris will be recycled.
JEA said the decommissioning of the power park is currently scheduled to be completed at the end of June 2020. The plan is to then possibly sell the land for redevelopment, but as of yet, there is no word if or when that could happen.

Hi everyone. Wonder if anyone has done this trip or at least one of the countries? Couldn't find a lot of info on this site, most travelers went just to Tallinn as part of a Baltic cruise. Wonder if anyone has experience with a rental car. Ideally, I would love to rent a car in Tallinn and drop it off in Vilnius , Lithuania. Can't find a lot of info online, might have to call car rental company. Any interesting sites in those countries? Found a couple of old posts but they were not really informative...were from the times when there was no 100 words requirement. Your input is appreciated...thanks in advance.
Hey there! I did that exact same trip in July 2018 albeit in reverse order. I picked up car in Vilnius, Lithuania & dropped off at ferry terminal in Tallinn, Estonia. I made online reservation through Avis & prepaid my car while reserving. If you are a US citizen & hold a US driving license, go to AAA to get an International driving permit because just US license wont work (a friend of mine gave me this pro tip 2 weeks before I flew & turned out this is true. Surprisingly you wont find this requirement easily unless you call Avis customer service). Ping me if you have questions.
Thanks for the message. I am lucky, I have both, a U.S. and a European drivers license. Was the one way charge outrageous? Where you able to use the primary car insurance from your credit card? Anything we should skip or definitely see on the trip?
I paid $804.46 for 9 days in July (prices may have been hiked for summer). I was able to use primary car insurance with Chase Sapphire Reserve card (the primary travel card I had back then).
Must dos & can skip: Just my 2 cents if you start from Tallinn, rest of Baltics can be a let down. We started from Lithuania, traversed through Latvia & ended in Estonia with Tallinn as the best part of the roadtrip. I personally may not have enjoyed Vilnius that much if I had seen Tallinn's glory as the first introduction to that region.
* Olde Hansa in Tallinn is a must do for lunch.
* Skip Jurmala in Latvia & Tartu in Estonia
* Hill of Crosses in Lithuanis is quite unique - dont miss it & so is Trakai Castle near Vilnius
* Riga is cute, go to Jauneila - one of the most beautiful streets of the Old Riga , between the Dome Square and Town Hall Square. There were shot 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Seventeen Moments of Spring', and many other films.
Thanks for the info. We will take the ferry from Helsinki, so it will have to be the other way around.
Checked a couple of prices for car rental yesterday night, 3 weeks are currently around $ 1,000 for a compact. About half of that are fees and taxes, assume the one-way fee is quite high.
Good to know about Tartu, would have been on my agenda otherwise. Guess we will drive along the coast down to Riga which on the other hand means that we won't get to see most of Estonia...maybe head to one of the islands for a few days.
I am still in the planning stage. Google for what ever reason is not particularly helpful, not many pictures or travel posts.
Yep, Google isnt much helpful for trip to Baltics. I am sharing my planned itinerary with you, if it helps. This was what was planned & ofcourse like any travel we didnt do all of it to be flexible with weather, traffic & other surprises. My itin is Finalnd (Helsinki) -> Lithuania ->Latvia -> Estonia - ferry to Finalnd (Helsinki & Porvoo) -> onwards to St.Petersburg.

Love the detailed itinerary, you sound like my kind of planner! Curious if you could share your plans to get from Helsinki to St. Petersburg. I'm just getting started planning to go from Tallinn to Helsinki to St. Petersburg to Moscow for this fall. I see you're perhaps looking at the overnight ferry to St. Petersburg? I was looking at taking the Allegro train that looks like it gets there in about 3.5 hours, wondering if you knew anything about the train, and why you would opt for the ferry (cost?).
I am a US citizen & therefore ferry was the easiest option to get 72 hours visa on arrival in St.Petersburg. Train is definitely a better alternative but I would have had to get visa approval prior (and thats a huge hassel from what I have heard/read). I took the Moby overnight ferry, got visa at the seaport, spent 72 hours (which were enough to see the city & neighboring sites like Pushkin palace & Peterhof gardens).
If your situation allows you to take the train, its the best!
Here is my planned itin for SPB
* Arrive St. Petersburg at 9AM
* City bus tour at 9AM. Having the «Arrival/Departure» card you can board and leave the shuttle bus unlimited times during the day at the bus stops indicated on the map.
Use metro everywhere
* Lunch at Terrassa (open 11AM)
* take a walking tour along Nevsky Prospect, where you can take in the ambiance of the city and do some shopping at Grand Palace, Passage mall, Gostiny Dvor ,and the Eliseyev Emporium food hall (Choc/Dessert MUSTDO)
* Afternoon coffee/tea with view at Cafe Singer
* Degtyarnye Bani - Russian Bath <skip if you have had Sauna in Helsinki>
* St.Peterburg House of Books (9AM-12AM)(avoid 12PM-5PM) - cute cafe, nice architecture for photoOp, sit by picture windows overlooking St Isaac's Cathedral w/good coffee. great selection of souvenirs: mugs, chocolates and posters.
* Maker Design Loft - russian designer wear, souvenir + best coffee. Do stop by. 10AM-9PM
* Canal boat ride <http://anglotourismo.com/> or next day. Go around 11PM to ensure you are in the water to see bridge opening at midnight & the famous white nights of Russia.
* Dinner at Katyusha Restaurant (open till 1AM)
* Breakfast at Pyshechnaya (opens 9AM)
* Peterhof Park and the Catherine Palace Tour in One Day
* Peterhof for a tour of the Upper Gardens and the Lower Fountain Park, where you'll hear about the history of this impressive landmark.
After lunch, spend the afternoon in Pushkin exploring Catherine Palace and Park.
* The Amber Room or Yantarnaya Komnata is a world-famous chamber decorated in amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors, located in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo.
* Return to St. Petersburg & dinner at Gastronomika. Take subway back to hotel.
* Canal boat ride <http://anglotourismo.com/> if not done previous day

Thanks for the great info sonag11, I've yet to dive into the visa morass, so I may be changing my tune and plans once I see what I'm getting into. We've been email pals with some Russians from Moscow whom we met in Paris a few years ago, and want to try to visit while we have an invitation to hang out with some locals. Just decided to go for it this year, so I'm just getting started!
sonag11: This is great stuff. Glad to see that there are more folks like me who like to prepare in detail (hello ED4000 :-)). Admittedly, you are even more detailed than I am but we usually do additional homework once we are at our destination. We keep our schedules a bit more open and just list what we might want to see/do. In many cases, locals gave us the best tips and we kept some flexibility.

Niche Player: Forcepoint
Austin, Texas-based Forcepoint is owned by defense firm Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners. Forepoint is a security company that offers SD-WAN as a feature of its platform. Forcepoint's ability to offer SD-WAN and security from a single vendor sets it apart from competitors that partner with third-party security vendors for that capability, Gartner said. The company's strength in security policy is solid, and Gartner said customer feedback indicates strong feature quality. However, it is unknown whether Forcepoint can compete with network-centric SD-WAN vendors, and its offering may be less mature than competitors'.

I've now completed the order for 4 market bags, and frankly if I have to make another bag in the next two months it will be too soon! I can crochet the pattern with my eyes closed, or without my reading glasses on! Counting back I think I have made 10 of these bags since the beginning of July. Recently that's been two a week.
Pleased with the way the stripes have turned out, though still not sure about the colour choice, but the customer is always right.
Instead of knotting the yarns together (I know you are secretly horrified) I've been joining by looping the new yarn onto the stitch the way teacher taught me. This gives me plenty to sew into the bag pattern when it is complete and will hopefully look better, sit better and be stronger. A bag needs to be strong.
Some feedback was that when the bag is full it stretches too much so I behave reduced the number of rows by 5 to see if that makes enough of a difference.
In Dunelm Mill I found this cute antique ribbon which I am attaching to all my finished items from now on, it just adds that extra personal touch. It's very me! My stamp on the back of my handmade cards which I had specially commissioned says "made with love just for you by…" And then my name, so this ties in with my brand image if you like.
I'm keen to get cracking on other projects, I've actually bought some knitting patterns too. Oops. The craft fair I'm involved in is on 8th November so not long to follow!
Also my sister in law is now officially on maternity leave, 4 weeks to baby is due. I've decided that I've so many other things to craft to wait until we know if I have a niece or a nephew, and then work like and to make something. I've dug out my baby hats knitting pattern which is quick and easy and I hope to share with you the pink or blue results in November sometime! So excited!!
