BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Friday approved new guidelines to further stimulate household consumption, in a bid to stabilize the economy as it braces for a full-blown trade war with the United States.
The world's two biggest economies slapped tit-for-tat duties on $34 billion worth of each other's imports on Friday, with Beijing accusing Washington of triggering the "largest-scale trade war" as they sharply escalated their conflict.
The new guidelines were discussed and approved at a meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms, convened by President Xi Jinping, state broadcaster Central China Television (CCTV) said.
China should "step up efforts from both the supply and demand side and actively cultivate niche markets within the key consumer sectors", the meeting said, according to the broadcaster.
"(We should) strengthen consumers' spending capabilities ... to increase the fundamental support consumption provides to economic growth."
CCTV did not give details of the guidelines, or say when they would take effect.
China's retail sales missed expectations in May, rising 8.5 percent from a year earlier, versus expectations of an increase of 9.6 percent and compared with a rise of 9.4 percent in April.

Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation
THE ORGANIZATION: Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation serves more than 8,000 residents of the Cypress Hills community each year through programs that promote housing preservation, economic development, and the positive development of youth and families.
Feeling like the agency had hit a wall in attracting new funders, Cypress Hills LDC came to Cause Effective for help in using its 25th anniversary campaign to diversify its funding base and raise more money from individuals.
OUR WORK: Cause Effective helped Cypress Hills LDC rethink who might take a deeper interest in their work. Through a series of Cause Effective-facilitated brainstorming sessions, according to Cypress Hills LDC executive director Michelle Neugebauer, "We realized we have a lot more access to resources and wealth than we had imagined."
By reaching out in a more personal way to banks and others who had already provided institutional support, the organization discovered wider circles of people who were ready to support Cypress Hills LDC's work through their own personal networks. This ultimately opened doors to people working on Wall Street who had seemed too distant a target in the past.
As an outgrowth of these sessions, the agency formed a College Success Partners volunteer corps, whose members support Cypress Hills LDC's college access programs by volunteering with participants and fundraising. This group "has brought us connections with worlds that we didn't otherwise have access to," reflects Cypress Hills LDC development director Emily Blank.
THE RESULTS: Cypress Hills LDC raised $130,000 through its anniversary campaign, more than doubling the net proceeds from the last anniversary event. And the impact is lasting far beyond Cypress Hills LDC's 25th year: "While other nonprofits are closing programs, the money we have raised has enabled us to sustain our services" explains Michelle. "Even in the midst of an economic recession, with Cause Effective's help, we have been able to continue to develop innovative affordable housing for our community."

Ruminations Regarding Libya
Another brilliant move on the part of the Obama Administration.
Officials have let it slip that the CIA has operatives on the ground in Libya.
Shouldn't the proper response be when such a question is raised "neither confirm nor deny"?
Better yet, what is so wrong with outright prevarication in regards to such a matter? Some truths are not necessarily owed at the time they are initially raised.
Doesn't the discerning individual already realize that the great powers, by default, have operatives at work in nearly every other great nation around the globe?
In his speech to the American people, the President assured that the Libyan resistance could be trusted since the ranks of the movement consists of lawyers and doctors.
In other words, these people aren't the common street rabble employed as greeters at the Bengazi Walmart or Tripoli Target (the store that is, not the air strike coordinates).
Interesting how Obama applauds these desert nomads for clinging to their guns and their God but thinks it is somehow a threat to the Republic when the armed theists in question happen to be from Pennsylvania.
In regards to the alleged moral superiority of doctors and lawyers over we mere common laborers, weren't a goodly percentage of Nazi managerial functionaries drawn from the professional classes? As Mark Steyn remarked while filling in as a guest host on the Rush Limbaugh program, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara not only rank respectively among modern history's most famous lawyers and doctors but also among the discipline's most bloodthirsty revolutionaries as well.
Interesting in the case of Libya how in Obama's mind doctors somehow rank without investigation among the noblest of civil servants that sacrifice willingly for the good of the broader society. But here in America during the healthcare debate, the President depicted the practitioners of medicine as so lecherous as a whole that such wanton avarice had to be contained by layer upon layer of new bureaucracy.
If Qaddafi threatens to go house to house killing Libyans to put down the revolt, what makes him any worse than Prince Phillip who wants to be reincarnated as a killer virus to decimate world population?
Considering they consider themselves enthusiastic members of Qaddaffi's retinue, Americans must ask if given the chance would Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan inflict here the kind of bloodshed their patron is in enacting in Libya.
The propriety of intervention in Libya is now sort of a moot point. Given the Lockerbie Bombing, Qaddaffi must now be taken out if for no other reason than to prevent another similar tragedy.
Guess those Americans living in Libya being interviewed by Geraldo realize now living in the trashpile nations of the earth isn't so glamorous after all.
Qaddafi has been a plague upon mankind for decades. This human pustule has been allowed to fester ignored for so long that no matter what action is taken, the aftermath will infect the world for a long time to come.

Week one
There is a Miracle called Friendship

and you don't know how it happens
or when it even starts.
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that
Friendship is God's most precious gift.
Styling with Stitches
RJ - I chose four stitches by Homespun Elegance to make four seasonal door hangings for Mary for Christmas one year. They are all from the delivering series. I made Delivering Flurries for winter, Delivering Fleurs for spring, Delivering Posies for summer and Delivering Harvest for fall. I used all over dyed threads some called for and some I liked better.
The stitch I used for spring had a sheep with the cart but I changed it to a bird from Delivering Americana so that all four of the stitches would be birds. It meant changing the straps where they meet the bird but other than that I pretty much followed the pattern. The sheep was adorable but Mary really loves birds so I wanted to be sure they were all birds. There were lots of details in these cute stitches like lots of small French knots, button wheels, cute charms, decorative buttons and ticking ribbon. It really was so much fun putting these four separate patterns together and making a door hanging for each season.
|Delivering flurries I used for the Winter bird and added a snowflake button to his beak.
|My favorite was made for Spring. I changed the sheep to a bird and added garden tools to his strap.
|This was my choice for the Summer bird. I added a ladybug button to the cart. The insides of the flowers were all tiny French knots.
|The autumn bird had a lot of detail which was fun. I added an acorn charm to the cart. The caps of the acorn and flowers were all tiny French knots. And there was a lot of backstitching to highlight the stitch.

Only a fellow stitcher could imagine my delight and how touched I was to receive this beautiful series. My favorite is also Delivering Fleurs because of how she personalized this just for me. I love birds and how she kept the continuity of the series by changing the sheep to a bird made it even more special. I loved the addition of the red bird sitting on the bird's head, the flower between cart and bird and the shining sun she added. The time and effort that it took to personalize this just for me is what made this so special.
I wanted to give RJ a gift that would bring as much joy to her as her gift brought to me so I enlisted the talented Faye of Carolina Stitcher to finish Valentine Sampler by Brenda Gervais, With thy Needle and Thread.

My pencil skirt (which I have been making forever and has been the subject of several previous blog posts) has two front vents to enable you to walk. On trying out the toile I worked out very quickly that these would need some industrial strength reinforcement.
Alice very kindly pointed me to this tutorial for Arrow Head tacks but I thought these would look a bit busy on my herringbone tweed. In the end I went for simple triangles sewn with a bit of bias binding at the back to strengthen them further. I think they look quit neat!

28 - Câest lâhistoire dâun ArabeâĶ
Nelly Quemener
ââI am not racist !ââ Racism and white masculinity in comedy of the 1970s and 1980sLe Temps des mÃĐdias n° 28, Printemps 2017, p. 61-74.
>> Acheter cet article sur CAIRN
This article sheds light on the criticism of race in the comedy of the 1970s and 1980s in France. Caracterized by an oustider position in relation to spheres of power, this buffoonery was meant to develop a satire of popular France through mocking the average French person. The analysis of this typical French figure, characterized by national pride and racism, reveals ambivalent effects in the excessive individualization of racism as well as its otherness. It argues that the construction of this ââotherââ racist is primarily a site of negotiation of white masculinity.

Updated: September 6th
Several loyal readers have been waiting patiently for me to reveal the big news coming down the pipes and why I've been so darn busy the past few weeks. Well, the wait is over! I am very excited to let everyone know that this fall I will be self-publishing a Starcrossed book!
I will be launching a Indiegogo campaign shortly to help raise money for printing. The campaign will also act as a pre-order for the book as well as give everyone an opportunity to pick up some fun Starcrossed rewards and original art as a thank you!
I am still putting together the rewards and sorting out shipping costs. I am just putting the final touches on the campaign.
If you're unfamiliar with Indiegogo, it's very similar to Kickstarter. Here are the basics.
You can bet your butt that I will let everyone know when (soon!), when and how to get your hands on Starcrossed Volume 1.
Stay tuned!

Fink Brau: The great cleanser30
Like Homer Simpson in that certain episode, I also from time to time need to undertake the task of "a little spring cleaning", albeit involuntary and hugely self-inflicted. Through great expense to myself; financially, mentally and physically, I have found the perfect diarrhoea beer. It retails in a Lidl store near you and comes in small unassuming bottles, costing a little over €10 for 24. It's "Fink Brau", the alcoholic alternative to Senokot.
I found some months ago that consumption of over half the case of beer (and I use that term loosly) causes involuntary muscle spasms of the arse. Over half is brave (read: stupid) and the whole case in one night is Rymus. Needless to say I hovered around the pot like a homesick dungbeetle for several days after that fateful Saturday night. It tastes rather like a crude mixture of Budweiser and horse piss, although many speculate that Budweiser is indeed chiefly comprised of that very substance anyway. That leads me to wonder if what we know as Budweiser is actually Fink Brau re-packaged? The conspiracy theories are ongoing. My respect for the French plummets ever lower on drinking every bottle. I can hear chants of "what do you expect from Lidl beer?" but to those that chant I answer "what about that stuff that comes in the longneck brown bottles?" That's the sauce of choice for many's the poor student and cheap date. Bring back the Bergadler pils! I hate this frinking Brau crap.
Mice on Atkins Diet0
We already know that following the Atkins diet can cause medical problems, such as diabetes. It has emerged today that a further threat of pregnancy problems could be tacked onto the world famous diet.
High protein intake and lower carbohydrates, scientists have concluded that large amounts of protein can have an effect on fertility in mice and possibly humans also.
The Colorado Centre for Reproductive Medicine have noted that vain mice taking the diet experienced disruption in embryo development. Dr. Gardner, from the CCRM said;
"Although our investigations were conducted in mice, our data may have implications for diet and reproduction in humans,"
So, can the Atkins diet really make it harder to get pregnant? Surely it would be the final blow for the health regieme if it is proved so.

Salted Caramel:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup white granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon of flaky sea salt (I used Maldon)
2 nine-inch pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
3 Gala Apples (You can use others too - like Russets or Orins)
1 Granny Smith Apples (I used this for an added tartness - totally optional)
1 lemon
4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon bourbon (optional)
3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Turbinado Sugar
Flaky Sea Salt
Special Equipment:
9-inch pie pan
Silicon Spatula (we don't want it to melt in the caramel)
1. In the microwave or a small pot, heat the heavy cream until it's warm to the touch. Set it aside.
2. In a medium to large pot, add the sugar and place it over medium heat. Do not stir. Cook the sugar until the bottom starts to turn a light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir the sugar, if needed, so all of it gets its turn hitting the bottom of the pan. Cook the sugar until it turns a medium brown, this process will happen fast so be sure not to leave. Once the caramel reaches a medium brown color take it off the heat and whisk it until smooth. You'll notice that it will still turn a darker color and cook more as you whisk. At this point it should be a dark brown - if it's not, place it back on the heat in 30 second increments, whisking the entire time, until it reaches that dark caramel color. Turn off the heat and whisk in the 5 tablespoons of butter (it will bubble up!). Keep whisking until the melted butter fully incorporates into the cooked sugar. Next, add the warm cream (it will bubble up!), whisking it in until it's fully incorporated. You'll notice that the texture is much thinner than it was earlier - not to worry it will thicken as it cools. Add the salt and whisk. Transfer it to a glass container and set aside.
3. To assemble the pie, roll out 1/2 of your homemade or store-bought dough to a 12-inch circle and place it in the 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges, leaving a 1/4-inch overhang - it will shrink in the oven! Transfer the pie pan to the refrigerator while you make the heart-cut outs. Take the second half of your pie dough and roll it out. Cut out about 10 hearts, re-rolling the scraps and making 2 more. Lightly flour them, transfer them to a cutting board and place it in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat the oven to 300F. Peel, core and slice the apples to a 1/4-inch thickness. I lopped off the tops and bottoms and sliced them horizontally. TIP: If you don't have an apple core, you can use the bottom half of a piping tip (I did this!). Transfer the apples slices to a bowl and to prevent them from browning, coat them with the juice from the lemon. Add the flour, bourbon, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to the apples and using your hands, toss the apples until they're evenly coated.
5. Take the pie crust out of the fridge. Transfer the apple mixture to the pie crust, layering them in a circle pattern. Taste the caramel - does it need more salt? Add more if needed. Pour about 1/4 cup of caramel over the apples. Top them with a few pinches of salt. Brush the edges of the pie crust with water. Place each heart around the pie crust, gently pressing them down so they are secured to the pie crust underneath. NOTE: There will be some heart sinkage because of the holes in the cored apples, to prevent this from happening, cube up an apple and fill those holes to keep the pastry dough upright. When you're done arranging the hearts, lightly brush them with the leftover caramel and top with a few pinches turbinado sugar and a few pinches of sea salt.
6. Transfer the pie to baking sheet and place it in the preheated oven. Bake at 300F for 25 minutes, until the pie crust is a very lightly golden brown. Turn the heat up to 350F and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes. You'll know when it's done when the pie crust is a golden brown color and the caramel looks bubbly. NOTE: When you take it out of the oven, the caramel may look thin - that's ok. It will thicken completely but it needs to cool. If you serve it now it will be goopy - but delicious! If you want attractive looking slices, allow it to cool (on your kitchen counter) for 5-6 hours. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel.

2:30 pm at the
Ashland Museum
105 Hanover Avenue
Ashland, VA 23005
Rosanne Shalf, President of the Ashland Museum, and Sherry Graves, member of the Virginia Homespun Dance Ensemble, will present a program about 19th Century Women's Clothing on Sunday, February 8, at 2:30 pm at the Ashland Museum, located at 105 Hanover Avenue in Ashland, Virginia.
The talk will include pictures and examples of women's clothing from 1800 to 1900, with examples from the Ashland Museum collection and the collection of Sherry Graves.
Rosanne Shalf, a local historian, researched the history of 19th century clothing for this program and collected samples and pictures for the presentation, including pictures from Ladies Godeys Book from the early 19th Century to the turn of the 20th Century. The Museum's collection includes a replica dress from 1865 donated by the Virginia Homespun Dance Ensemble and Halloway House and a dress from 1870 owned by Ashland resident Ella Williams Walsh given to the museum by her great-granddaughter, Toni Leake of Richmond.
Sherry Graves is an expert on clothing of the mid-19th Century, including underpinnings such as hoops and corsets that women wore. The Virginia Homespun Dance Ensemble is composed of members and friends of the Virginia 12th Infantry reenactment group. They demonstrate authentic dance, music, manners, and clothing of the mid-19th Century.
Tickets are $10 for Ashland Museum members, $15 for non-members. Register online here or by mailing a check to Ashland Museum, PO Box 633, Ashland, Virginia 23005. Please indicate name of program on the check. This program benefits the Ashland Museum.

Please note: Your login-status and your cart are not available in the german shop!
The lightweight, coated fabrics with a weight to 100g/sqm are suitable for any application, where no excessive mechanical stress is applied to the fabric. Typical applications are lightweight tents, tarps, awnings, ultralight to lightweight backpacks, bags, thin covers, kites or decoration. Notwithstanding the low weight, these fabrics are certainly also suitable for demanding tasks - you just should have in mind the technical limits of lightweight fabrics.
Among others in this category you will find some fabrics which we specially offer for ultralight purposes: e.g. ripstop-nylons, where a stronger thread is woven in for extra reinforcement or fabrics made with Dyneema for a high tear-resistance.
For fabrics that are regularly exposed to higher abrasion, fabrics with a weight between 100g/sqm to 250g/sqm may be more appropriate.

Just last week i wrote a post about my preggy update
Today all i will talk about is another major symptom of 3rd trimester that's bugging me and killing me like any thing.
I never had an idea about what heartburn is untill now, n trust me its nothing one can enjoy. i've gotten so sensitive that even a lil fatty or oily or spicy stuff (i dont usually have spicy even generally) and my entire internals are boiling and burning. on top of that, the Reflux is getting really bad.
Last night i woke up coz i felt almost chocked in my throat with a weird burning acidic feeling and feeling so sumthing stuck in my chest. it was soo uncomfortable. i tried to elevate my pillows n stay on my left side so it may get better, but no such luck. on top of that, entire day today my throat felt that yucky acidic feeling arghhhh so not happy about it. but then again i keep telling my self that its just two months more and things might just get better. For now Gavescon syrup is the rescue, dat too dosnt help at times 😦

A public relations course is designed to help companies or organizations better understand the importance public relations plays within their organization. From there, it teaches specific methods and techniques for bettering public relations campaigns in order to increase recognition of products and services as well as creating and fostering good business relationships with the general public.
Who Benefits From Public Relations Courses?
Virtually any company could benefit from a public relations course, particularly smaller or fledgling companies that do not have a communications team or a public relations director already on their staff. An effective public relations course will help organizations learn how to do the following:
– Increase and maintain visibility and public awareness of the organization, a particular person, or event
– Help the public to see the organization as an industry leader
– Increase awareness of the organization's programs, products, and services throughout the community, state, country, or world
– Enhance and maintain the organization's image
– Support and organize efforts with regards to fundraising
– Respond in the best possible way in the event the organization experiences any negative publicity
– Boost employee morale and help to recruit and retain employees

Japan's Nikkei today reported that Sanyo Electric Co. will increase spending on rechargeable batteries and solar cells to more than $2.13 billion. The company plans mass production of lithium ion batteries for plug-in hybrids and electric cars by fiscal 2012—and aims to capture 40 percent of the global market for vehicle rechargeable batteries by 2020.
Development of affordable, lightweight rechargeable car batteries—with greater energy storage capacity—is seen as the key to a mass-market for hybrid and electric cars.
In December 2009, Panasonic acquired a majority control of Sanyo for $4.6 billion. The merger created Japan's second-largest electronics conglomerate—and gave the pair a market share in nickel metal hydride batteries, used in today's hybrids, of about 80 percent. Panasonic has historically provided batteries for Toyota hybrids, while Sanyo supplied Ford and Honda.
According to a report in Nikkei in Aug. 2009, Toyota will use Sanyo batteries in a hybrid minivan slated to debut in Japan around 2011. Toyota also plans to use lithium ion batteries in a plug-in version of the Prius.
Asian battery companies have also taken a lead in lithium ion battery technology. South Korea's LG Chem will supply batteries for the Chevy Volt. Japan's NEC—a strategic partner with Nissan—will produce batteries for the all-electric Leaf sedan.
Back in the USA
The United States has, by no means, given up the fight. Last week, the Department of Energy's ARPA-E (Advanced Projects Research Agency – Energy) program announced a new round of battery research funding of about $35 million. Among the 10 companies receiving support, Tucson's Sion Power Co. was given a $5 million grant to develop a lithium sulfur battery that can go 300 miles between charges. Another $5 went to PolyPlus Battery of Berkeley, Calif., to develop a battery that has the energy density roughly equivalent to gasoline.
The federal government has also invested in battery manufacturing capacity. In 2009, the US Department of Energy awarded $1.5 billion in grants to US battery makers in attempt to build a domestic manufacturing base for advanced auto batteries—to spur growth in the burgeoning hybrid and electric car industry, and to create clean tech jobs especially in Michigan.

Missionbeat calls for blankets for rough sleepers
- Details
Rain, hail or shine, life is unrelentingly difficult for people who are sleeping rough.
I've worked in this sector for many years but I still find some of the stories from our Missionbeat frontline staff truly heartbreaking. They meet people every day who are homeless and face severe hardship from challenging and complex personal circumstances. Added to the mix, they're also living a transient life in harsh, uncomfortable and potentially unsafe environments.
It is no secret that the lack of affordable housing is one of the major reasons there are so many people who do not have a safe place to call home. We will continue to advocate for more housing, including social housing, for people on low and moderate incomes. We also want the number of lower income Australians living in rental stress to be halved.
But I know a lot of people ask me what can they do to help people who are sleeping rough? How can they, as individuals, make a difference? What is appropriate? What is not?
I always say to people – do what you find fitting. Some like to give directly to organisations like ours so that when they see people sleeping rough they know they are helping them in some way. Others might like to stop for a chat or offer a coffee or a sandwich. It can be a lonely existence on the street so a kind word or gesture can mean a lot.
Right now, Sydneysiders can make a direct impact by donating blankets to our Missionbeat service to help keep people safe and comfortable throughout the warmer months.
After a cold, wet winter our stocks are low and despite the weather getting warmer we are still much in need of this simple provision.
A blanket can be a vital item for a homeless person in every season, including spring and summer. It can define their own space, sets parameters for their safety and can soften a park bench or cold concrete surface. Even as the weather warms, a blanket can protect someone from the elements and offer a thin veil of privacy from onlookers.
Of course, a blanket is a stop gap while Mission Australia and other services continue our work in supporting people with the longer term actions required to help them permanently exit homelessness.
All people who are homeless deserve to be treated with dignity and donating a few blankets is one easy way that the community can support people in need. A blanket might not solve homelessness, but it can make a short term difference to someone who lives on our streets.
Drop your blanket at the Missionbeat office, 24/168 Victoria Road Marrickville, open 7 days a week between 7.00 am and 10.30 pm.

To be free from suppliers and fully answer for quality of its goods LLC "RubiKOM" produces its own fodders. In 2004 the company set its foot on a new sector - field-husbandry. At present time, LLC "RubiKOM" cultivates 20 thousand hectares and has become an innovator in field-husbandry sector in Kazakhstan. We grow barley ("Tselinnyi 91") and wheat ("Saratovskaia") for grain forage.
To use intensively a plot of arable land there was worked out a unique scientifically well-grounded strategy. This Canadian revolutionary technology so called "zero technology" recently adopted by Kazakhstan farmers was significantly improved by LLC "RubiKOM" specialists for soil cultivation; as a result it allowed good yielding.
The work of LLC "RubiKOM" field crop growers is of high interest to scientists. Field crop growers contracted with the agricultural research institute named after Baraiev. So, with joint efforts many research works are carried out for optimal selection of cereals that suit for "zero" and minimal soil cultivation technology. Crop rotation is developed considering relevant fallow crops resistant to drought (as maize, beans); also agro technical tests are performed.
Achievements of LLC "RubiKOM" were marked out at republican level. In august 2007 on the basis of LLC "RubiKOM" fields a republican seminar "Days of field" took place with participation of agricultural specialists of all grain sowing regions. Scientists and agronomists displayed genuine interest for the new agro technology that gives promising results.
In the future the big agro holding of Pavlodar region, LLC "RubiKOM" intends to develop its own forage reserve through use of modern technology (fertilizers, new technologies in soil treatment, complexes for storing forages and grains).

Which way, national carrier Uganda Airlines, as Vule plans its takeoff date?
Wednesday September 27 2017
A privately owned carrier, Vule Airways, is set to hit the skies this November, subject to regulatory approvals from Ugandan civil aviation authority, even as the government struggles to revive national carrier, Uganda Airlines.
Vule, which is incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in Uganda, is expected to enrich regional air transport dominated by Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and RwandAir.
The new entrant plans to not only cover East Africa but also operate direct flights to London.
According to Robert Mwesigwa, co-founder of the airline, Vule is looking to lease a 40-seater Bombardier Dash B, a 78-seater Bombardier Dash C, three 128-seater Boeing 737-700s and a 300-seater Boeing 777-200.
He said they will fly to Moscow, London, Dubai, and serve East Africa, with direct flights to Tunis and London.
"We are negotiating codeshare agreements with major carriers, and looking at six aircraft once we are approved," Mr Mwesigwa told The EastAfrican.
Air service licence
According to Vianney Luggya, Uganda Civil Aviation Authority's public relations officer, Vule Airways appeared before the CAA board on September 8 alongside other airline operators and have secured an air service licence.
"They are now going through a safety assessment and evaluation phase, which would lead to issuance of an Air Operator's Certificate," Mr Luggya said.
For such certification, according to the CAA Directorate of Safety, Security and Economic Regulation manual 2007, an operator has to submit a business plan that covers the first two years of operations in order to demonstrate that they are able to cover actual and potential obligations for a period of 24 months from the start of operations.
The operator is also required to provide evidence of ownership of the aircraft or long-term lease agreements whereby the aircraft must be under full control of the applicant and fulfil the flight safety standards of Uganda.
The applicant is further required to submit copies of their aircrafts' certificates of air worthiness, a copy of a certificate of registration, copies of insurance certificates and evidence of the applicant's financial capacity to finance the proposed air transport services and meet CAA financial obligations.
The new carrier comes at a time that Kenya's low-cost airline Jambojet has applied for licence to fly to destinations in at least 11 African countries in renewed efforts to expand operations beyond the country after posting a profit last year boosted by growing passenger numbers.
Some of the destinations Jambojet, whose parent is Kenya Airways, has applied to fly are Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Arusha, Lilongwe, Blantyre, Entebbe, Addis Ababa, Mogadishu and Kinshasa.
Turbulent market
Vule Airways will join a highly unpredictable and often turbulent market for domestic carriers that seek international routes. Its founders say they are aware of this turbulent history that saw airlines like AfricaOne and Air Uganda fold in a few years.
Mr Mwesigwa said Vule will operate a different model designed not only to keep it afloat but also soar into success.
But industry experts warn that with the government's plan to revive Uganda Airlines, competition from established regional carriers Kenya Airways, RwandAir, Ethiopian Airlines means Vule must brace itself for stiff competition.
"To operate an airline with any realistic chance of success in this market you must have at least $200 million even before you take off for your first flight," said one expert in the industry. "Are they willing to spare that kind of money? That might be the difference between their survival and early death."
Targeting tourists, Vule is being welcomed by tour operators as a value addition to the sector.
Michael Makonzi, chief executive officer of Go Gorilla Trekking, said there can be an increase in the number of tourists from the UK but this means that Vule Airways has to strive to be as, or more efficient than RwandaAir which is making more trips to many destinations around the globe.
"Most clients we will come from the USA, United Kingdom and Australia and prefer direct flights to London which is currently not happening at Entebbe Airport," he added.
Vule Airways, which has over $40 million invested in the venture, will face competition from RwandAir which recently bought $250 million airbuses, confident that of the aircraft will cater for increased passenger numbers boosted by new routes to India, China and Europe, starting early next year.
In January 2015, RwandAir started direct flights between Entebbe and Nairobi filling the void after the exit of Air Uganda.

Cloudline | Blog | Meet ARM's Cortex A15: The Future of the iPad, and Possibly the Macbook Air
In addition to unveiling its Cortex A7 processor on Wednesday, the press event was also a sort of second debut for the Cortex A15. The A15 will go into ARM tablets and some high-end smartphones during the second half of 2012, and it's by far the best candidate for an ARM-based Macbook Air should Apple chose to take this route. Just as importantly, A15 will also go into the coming wave of ARM-based cloud server parts that have yet to be announced.
As part of the press materials for the A7 launch, ARM also released the first detailed block diagram—at least that I've been able to find—of the Cortex A15. The company also had the first working silicon of the A15 on display running Android. So let's take a look at the A15 from top to bottom, because it is the medium-term future not only of the mobile gadgets that we all know and crave, but possibly of some of the servers that those devices will connect to.

According to Weather Underground, Casper may see 3 to 5 inches of snow this coming Thursday. There is a 50% chance that the flakes may start to fall late Wednesday night. Thursday will see a 60% chance of snow, but the chance for high winds exists as well with gusts getting close 50 MPH.
This prediction is a few days away and may completely change come Thursday. Even though the forecast is predicting a small amount of precipitation, most people will welcome any and all moisture to our currently dry area.
As the old saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Wyoming, wait 5 minutes."

Launch of New 2025 Treasury Indexed Bond
29 September 2009
The Australian Office of Financial Management (AOFM) announces the issue by syndication of a new 3.0% 20 September 2025 Treasury Indexed Bond. The initial issue size is expected to be at least $1 billion.
Pricing of the issue is expected to take place no later than 1 October 2009.
- Initial price guidance for the issue is a yield spread of 0 to 5 basis points to the 20 August 2020 Treasury Indexed Bond, subject to market conditions.
Holders of the 2010 Treasury Indexed Bond will be offered the opportunity to convert each $100 face value of that bond (unadjusted for changes in the inflation-adjusted capital value of the bond) to $160 face value of the new 2025 Treasury Indexed Bond.
- The indicative repurchase price for the 20 August 2010 Treasury Indexed Bond will be calculated by reference to the yield that is 210 basis points below the yield for 15 August 2010 nominal Treasury Bond at the time the new 2025 Treasury Indexed Bond is priced.
The AOFM has appointed Deutsche Bank AG Sydney Branch, RBS Group (Australia) Pty Limited and UBS AG Australia Branch as Joint-Lead Managers for the issue. Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited, JP Morgan Australia Limited and Westpac Banking Corporation Limited have been appointed Co-Managers.
New Information Memoranda for Treasury Indexed Bonds and Treasury Bonds are being issued today.
- The new Information Memorandum for Treasury Indexed Bonds replaces the Terms and Conditions of Issue for Treasury Indexed Bonds dated 18 February 2002. The new 2025 Treasury Indexed Bond will be subject to the new Information Memorandum for Treasury Indexed Bonds.
- The Information Memorandum for Treasury Bonds has been updated to clarify the pricing of near-to-maturity Treasury Bonds and expected changes in relation to the application of non-resident interest withholding tax.

League of the European Nations
In September 2018, the UEFA's most recent innovation for international football was launched: the UEFA Nations League. Its basic purpose is to eliminate 'meaningless' international friendlies in favor of a competitive tournament in the traditional league form.
Football in Russia
The 21st edition of World Cup took place in Russia in the summer of 2018.
The Russia national football team played their first match at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on June 14, 5 p.m. against Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabia national football team is the only team ranked lower than the hosts. One month of soccer fever gets under way as the competition kicks off in Russia! The final took place in Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday July 15. With the Netherlands not having made the cut for the 2018's big trophy tournament, there are still fantastic evenings with a good atmosphere. Reigning champions Germany will meet Mexico, Sweden and South Korea in Group F as they look to defend their Wold Cup crown this summer. They wanted the 5th star and left early.
Watching football
Public Viewing in the Netherlands
Every second year we - Meet the Germans & German Expats - get numerous questions regarding Public Viewings in the Netherlands during the World Cup or European Championship. The question, which we also read very often, is: "Where can I see the World Cup together with other football fans?".
"Public Viewing" a term used in Germany for the live broadcasting of sporting events, a public screening. This expression became known from the year 2006 during World Cup in Germany. The Dutch say "WK kijken". Due to strict guidelines and laws in the Netherlands, it is very difficult to arrange a real public viewing. It is easier to see the World Cup in a restaurant or bar. So do not be surprised.
Meet the Germans organizes "Public Viewings" for all German national team matches in Utrecht, within walking distance of Utrecht Centraal Station. You are not in Utrecht? Then visit our overview and find your public viewing during the World Cup, European Championship or Nations League:
You organize a public viewing too?
If you organize a public viewing of World Cup matches (with or without German participation), please register it here for free and without any obligation.

Typically, you will not find a Geocache in a State Park; however, the park rangers at Bear Lake State Park in Utah have a keen sense of humor and certainly one for adventure. Rick, Sandy and I started out to find the Geocache located somewhere in this enormous state park. Using our trusty Garmin GPS for walkers, we were able to locate this find.
See the photos for an amazing discovery. :)

I don't know about you, but I began the school year with such good intentions. I wrote a two blog posts that were quite well-received (one on switching back to Evernote from OneNote, and one on Google Classroom). I felt so good about this that the day before classes started, I determined that either writing 500 words or reading 25 pages of an life-improving book every day was a reasonable goal.
I managed four days, and then the first wave of grading came in: personal essays and reflections on the summer reading (otherwise known as proof-you-did-the-summer-reading), and I missed my goal one day, two, then ten.
During last year, I had tried various methods to streamline my feedback on student writing – rubrics, color-coded feedback, text expanders – but I have found that there is no substitute for personalized comments and strategies for improvements. I will continue to explore these strategies and others, but I cannot help but add personalized comments to student work.
I grade before school starts, I grade between classes and at lunchtime, I grade after school, in the evenings, and on weekend mornings, sometimes afternoons, and furiously on Sunday evening to meet my grading goals. (It has become a little sad that my main professional goal, week in, week out, has been to get through the pile of grading in as swift and conscientious manner as possible.)
When colleagues or former students drop into my classroom, I am torn between gratitude for their friendship and the loss of productive grading time. I do my best to stay present, but my brain pings notifications, warning me that I'm not going to get through the ten papers I promised myself I would do before going home.
And then there's the drudgery; as much as I value each of my students as a unique individual and want to celebrate their achievements, the enthusiasm does begin to wane when reading the 38th of 51 papers about roughly the same topic.
So, I've come up with three strategies to weather the storm, to evade the black hole, to mix the metaphor:
– Give my students greater choice not only in the content of their work but also in the media in which they communicate. Clearly this is mutually beneficial: the students have choice (and hopefully intrinsic motivation) and I have variety;
– Try to be less stressed about getting through a pile of grading at school, and instead take the time to enjoy talking to colleagues and students; I will grade a little longer into the evening, and it is probably OK to take a day longer to return work.
– Use the Pomodoro method: grade intensively for 25 minutes at a time with a set goal in mind, then take 5 minutes to play Candy Crush, get a coffee, watch a YouTube. Then back to another 25 goal-oriented minutes.
So this is where I am. I am confident these new school year's resolutions will last a little longer than my writing/reading fantasy because I know that grading is my reality for the next ten months and I really have no options.
How do you do it? How do you manage the workload and still have time to speak to your friends and loved ones? How do you provide meaningful feedback, while still fulfilling your non-grading dreams (if such things exist)?

|Winfield allegedly followed the woman from the Bryn Mawr station. | Wikicommons, Cook County Sheriff
48-year-old Reginald Winfield of Harvey is charged with robbery and videotaping through clothes.
An Edgewater woman told police that Winfield approached her near the Bryn Mawr Red Line station around 11:45 p.m. on August 6 and said, "I'll whoop your ass and take your phone" before snatching her iPhone from her hands and running away around.
Cops caught up with Winfield nearby, and the 31-year-old victim identified him for police.
An investigation revealed that Winfield had been videotaping the woman on a CTA train before he robbed her, police said. Officers found evidence that Winfield "was trying to videotape the victim's underwear" on the Red Line.
A judge set Winfield's bail at $90,000.

The last project gave me the idea to make flowers out of the tissue paper strips, instead of those squares. In fact, many of my creations are born from previous projects. Paper flowers are one of my favorite things to use on cards.
|I don't particularly like this picture because it wrongly portrays the way I make the crumples. (Don't know what else to call them!) In reality, I hold them from the top, so they're hanging vertically.
|A finished "crumple."
|Press it down with your finger,
|Then I added this border all around.
|Now stick the flower on where you want it,
|...Put another glue dot in the center,
|This is one of my favorite I've made lately, thanks to you, +Rebecca Groover! Thank you so much!

Cincinnati Reds
Latos goes long, and Frazier goes deep
CINCINNATI — Todd Frazier's long home run gave Mat Latos all the run support he needed, and Latos gave the Cincinnati Reds exactly what they needed to finish off a 10-game homestand in style.
Latos retired the first 10 batters and 15 of the first 16 he faced and mostly spared an overworked bullpen, and the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 1-0 Wednesday.
"This is what we wanted so bad," Reds Manager Dusty Baker said. "This sets us straight for a couple of days."
With one out in the sixth inning of a scoreless tie, Frazier blasted a 2-1 pitch from Jeff Samardzija 480 feet to straightaway center field to increase his team-leading home run total to six. The homer is the longest at Great American Ball Park this season and the seventh-longest in the facility's 11-year history.
"I was just trying to get a fastball," Frazier said. "I haven't seen too many lately. I got one, and I took advantage of it."
Latos (1-0), the victim of two blown saves among his first four starts this season, allowed four hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Jonathan Broxton replaced Latos with two runners on base and nobody out in the eighth.
Both runners moved up on Cody Ransom's sacrifice bunt, but pinch-hitter Alfonso Soriano struck out and shortstop Zack Cozart went deep behind second base to flag down David DeJesus's grounder and throw him out to end the inning.
"I've been struggling at the plate lately, so to make a play like that makes you feel pretty good," Cozart said.
Cubs Manager Dale Sveum said that's just the way it's been going for the Cubs, who are 1-5 on their current road trip.
"That was an unbelievable play in that situation," he said. "Before that DeJesus hit a foul that missed the line by less than a foot. That's what happens when things aren't going your way."
Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his fourth save. Latos' effort left Cincinnati's starting pitchers with a combined 5-0 record and 1.54 ERA on the homestand.
Samardzija (1-4) had his fourth consecutive loss after beating Pittsburgh in the opener. The right-hander allowed seven hits and three walks with eight strikeouts.
The Reds won eight games in the 10-game homestand.

After opening it's first store on Hollywood Boulevard in 1946, Frederick's of Hollywood innovated its way to becoming one of the most recognized brand names in the country. As Victoria's Secret's more provocative rival, Frederick's reinvented itself tirelessly throughout the years. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be part of one of these refreshes, as Art Director for the web.
I was responsible for the user experience and design of the responsive site. The original site was outdated and cluttered, confusing the customer, impacting conversion, and increasing exit rates. By streamlining the user experience and designing a consistent visual language, conversion increased and shoppers moved through the site with ease.

Signs are pointing towards a lightweight match-up between Anthony Pettis and Clay Guida taking place at one of several potential events later this year, according to UFC president Dana White.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, White stopped short of confirming the bout between Pettis and Guida, but said it's something they have discussed.
"It's not a done deal, but that's the fight we're talking about," White said.
Heavy.com first reported the potential match-up. Sources close to the situation indicated to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday that the fight is one that's been talked about, but much like White said, it's not done just yet.
The date for the fight has been speculated to take place at several shows, but according to sources, if Pettis vs. Guida does become official, it could happen as far out as UFC 131 rumored for Vancouver.
MMAWeekly.com first reported the news that Pettis didn't plan on sitting out and waiting for the winner of Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard last week.
"Anthony was obviously disappointed in not getting the title shot, but he also understands why Dana made that decision," Pettis' manager Mike Roberts told MMAWeekly.com. "After consulting with Anthony and Duke Roufus, we collectively decided that it would be in Anthony's best interest to take a fight in the meantime.
"A 10-month or possible year layoff was just too long. We believe with a win against a top lightweight contender Anthony will still get the title shot later in the year."
Former title contender Kenny Florian has also asked for the fight with Pettis, but it appears as of now that Guida is the leading candidate to welcome the last ever WEC lightweight champion to the Octagon.

Senator *
The blush is more orange-red where thinner. Coverage is nearly complete.
The peel is otherwise yellow tinted green, and tan lenticels (generally small and numerous below, large and rarefied aloft) add dramatic contrast. Senator is a looker.
The apple feels quite firm with only a faint musty aroma.
Senator crackles at first bite, with very crisp off-white flesh shot with red. The flesh is perhaps more fine-grained than coarse; it is more than moderately juicy.
The apple's aroma, or lack of it, while unbroken is a harbinger of its flavors, which are all weak and attenuated. There is a little cane sugar and a whisper of berries and vinousness, that is all.
I like full-flavored apples, so this is disappointing. But I have to admit how much Senator's great crunch makes it oddly appealing.
A second sample has flavors that are a very little better, enough to suggest a washed out Mac or Macoun. Its faint sweet finish includes just a whisper of vanilla.
This slightly improved taste helped the whole thing come together for me. I think a lot of people would like Senator at its peak.
The Apple Journal says that Senator was originally Oliver, hailing from Arkansas in the early 19th century. Creighton Lee Calhoun tells more of that story on page 119 of his Old Southern Apples.
