Back to work
October 1, 2016
It has been a challenging summer dealing with various health issues. But now I have energy again to share some of my life with anyone interested.
Making artwork has never really stopped. Some weeks after the op, I was already painting a copy of a Matisse stillife. Spring inspired me to paint trees, then I got sick in June and things ground to a halt for awhile. Around that time I started sewing a quilt by hand, having bought 2 packs of beautiful Tilda cotton squares on sale. I liked the slow pace and the kind of mindless precise work.
Fall brought new inspiration. My last post had been in June and, with the onion paintings, I had broken through to a new way of working, .
It was kind of intimidating to try and pick that up again, I'd tried and failed a few times. So I decided to ease into painting again by doing something familiar. I feel most comfortable working in defined areas, like patchwork really. My oil pastel drawings tend to begin as grids, so I chose a few of my favourites and began copying them in acrylics.
It is so true that just working, regardless of being inspired or not, most always opens up the next step.
Even though I stopped again after completing these 2 below, doing them launched me into a new phase in my painting. More about that in the next post. Meanwhile…
When stuck in one medium it is often helpful to go to another. I decided to make collages out of some old oil pastel drawings. I did one a day for a week, here they are:
take care, til next time.
Painting adventure
December 16, 2015
There is a lot of movement happening in my life, and it is reflected in my painting. I'm leaving old ways of seeing, and familiar approaches, and embarking on 'The adventure of a lifetime' (A plug for Coldplay's new single YAY!!). The freedom I have in inventing when working in oil pastels has finally transferred to paint. I'm working in acrylics because I like layering and they dry fast.
I won't take you on the complete journey, but this particular stream started months ago. I have mentioned that I do collages for relaxation and processing of any issues up for me. I always really like them, they surprise me and are fresh. So this one, with the painting by Alexey Kvaratskeheliya at center stage inspired me to try an oil pastel painting using the same kind of little shards of concentrated colour as Alexey K.
Which resulted in this piece:
Working with colour in this way feels very natural to me. (This piece is in our currently running show at Scherer design store. In a few days they will have our exhibit announced on the site.)
I wondered if I could work this way in paints, but it is different when you can reach for one of 121 concentrated oil pastel colours, or you have to mix them yourself and keep using clean brushes to apply them.
But one evening I took a little piece of cardboard, and intuitively began working in small colour areas. That freed me up to take another step- I took all the leftover colours on my palette and made a background on a previously painted canvas with the partly dried paint and palette knife:
Then I painted over it intending to work into the result below, but I like it so much I'm leaving it as is.
The next two happened around the same time:
They are both painted in acrylic over previous paintings, taking cues from the background and at the same time evolving their own unique forms.
This method of working really suits me. I work messily and spontaneously on an already painted canvas and things just happen.
Gee that Flora Bowley book mentioned in the last post must really work, I haven't even read it yet and my work is undergoing a major reorientation! 🙂
All of the preceding are quite small format- around 30 x 30 cm. Then I retrieved one of the fairly free paintings from this summer where I was trying to lose form, and painted over it. The tree emerged, and I worked into it some, but not much. It captures the energy I need most to connect with now as I face major surgery tomorrow. Hopefully I can bring it into the hospital where I can see it.
What we need more of
November 24, 2015
It has been ages, nearly 3 months since I posted. Hi again, to the handful of faithful followers who make this worth doing.
Crazy months dealing with health issues. There is an operation coming soon, and hopefully after that things will settle down into a more normal routine again.
My art is in a turbulent period of its own. I think I included some of the newer experiments this last summer,where I was letting go of form and trying to paint more intuitively. I've been more comfortable with watercolour sticks (a kind of crayon that is water soluble) and collage lately, than oil paints. I want to do quick, spontaneous studies rather than labour over one painting.
Rende and I have an upcoming exhibition in a high quality interior store here in the north of Holland. He'll be showing woodwork and photography, and I'll hang 18 pieces, oil pastels and oil paintings. I'll link to the site when they've got our info there.
I know I've posted the art above before here, and probably the quote as well, but it is worth repeating:
What we need more of is slow art; art that holds time as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of perception and making whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn't merely sensational, that doesn't get its message across in ten seconds, that isn't falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures.
In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media. – Robert Hughes

Tulip time
April 18, 2014
At the moment I'm working on two paintings at the same time. I have another one of the same subject as above at a further stage of development, but I just started this one today and wanted to record this part of the process in case it is of any help to other painters.
The subject is deliciously complex, with two patterned fabrics intertwining on a background cloth, with 3 vases of tulips. In the above picture, there are actually 3 stages of underpainting shown.
- First is a neutral light blue coat, (ultramarine and white with a good amount of heavy gel mixed in). I chose this colour carefully having learned from my work in oil pastels that the background colour can make certain colours glow and kill others dead. See in the example below, how the pinks and oranges come to life on the blue paper. In the painting I'm working on, there are some hot greens and vibrating turquoises that I want to keep alive, as well as the oranges and pinks of the tulips, so the neutral greyish blue undercoat will allow that.
- The folds of cloth with the pattern following them is so complex that I needed to establish values and contours before I started in with the oil colours. So I mixed some cobalt blue and burnt sienna into a dark grey and sketched in shadows and folds.
- After that, I mixed some bright colours with gel to form transparent glazes (so I didn't cover up all my previous work getting the contours!!), and painted in fun colours, keeping complements in mind. Oranges layered over that acid green will make the tulips dance off the canvas. And the purply pinks will glow here and there through the green leaves, giving them depth.
I enjoy painting the oils over a supportive layer of acrylic colour, unexpected things happen, happy accidents of one colour against another, or letting the background colour show as a contour to give a subtle painterly effect. From previous paintings, I've learned to put the darkest colours where my lightest values are going to come. So that dark browny purple behind the middle tulip vase is actually waiting to receive a beautiful honeyed orange light. The blue cloth on the left will, in the end, be hot pink, gold and blue. It takes patience to work this way, but doing it like this is also a way to familiarise myself with the subject before I start applying the oil paint, so that stage proceeds with more confidence.
I will be following the dark values on this painting, something I haven't done before, usually I let the lightest point lead the eye into and around the composition. But it happens that in this one, the darkest areas lead into the painting in a nice curving path that the eye can follow easely (pun intended, sorry). 🙂
Creative drawing classes
November 17, 2013
These were made by one of my course participants after our pen & ink sessions. They are particularly heartening because she had a hard time getting a handle on the medium most of the session. Then right in the last 5 minutes she totally 'got'it. The next week she came in with these sketches from a recent outing. Aren't they lovely.
The last session this season, we combined collage and oil pastel to create a drawing from our imagination. We leafed through magazines for pictures which suggested a story, cut those out, then pasted them on white paper and worked into them with oil pastels. The results were free and colourful.

It's so much fun learning something new everyday. Not just new recipes but also about other countries' languages and cultures. For instance, I learned yesterday that in Japanese, "yaki" means grilled and "onigiri" means rice ball. That should help me retain the words in my head. And the next time we go to a Japanese restaurant, I'll know that every dish prefixed with "yaki" is a grilled dish and every one with "onigiri" in its name means it has rice.
Yaki onigiri then is grilled rice ball. I suppose that, traditionally, it would be cooked in a teppanyaki grill but since we don't own one, I pan-grilled the rice in a cast iron frying pan.
This wonderful recipe is from Nami of Just One Cookbook.
Yaki Onigiri (Grilled Glazed Rice Ball)Print Pin
- 2 cups cooked Japanese rice (long grain rice won't stick together and hold shape)
- cooking oil
- 2 to 4 glazing sauce from the Japanese fried chicken recipe (or use plain light soy sauce)
- Form the rice into triangles. Speedy did this for me because I was busy with the fried chicken. Wet your hands with water. Place about half a cup of rice on one palm. Curve your other hand to form an inverted cone and clamp your two hands together to press and shape the rice. Move the rice about 45 degrees and press again. You want the sides to have flat surfaces because you're going to grill the rice.
- Sam said our pyramids were the wrong shape. I think she's right.
- Sprinkle a tablespoonful of cooking oil on the frying pan. Cook the rice over high heat, turning them every few minutes to brown all sides.
- Brush with the sauce and continue cooking until nicely browned and the sauce has caramelized a bit.
Because we live in unusual times, read about stocking the pantry and how to replenish your food supply.
If you cooked this dish (or made this drink) and you want to share your masterpiece, please use your own photos and write the cooking steps in your own words.

Recently while waiting in line, 2 of my boys were behind some young adults who were not using kid friendly language. Fortunately, one of my boys was totally unaware. The other one (the older brother) was very bothered by what he overheard.
Explicit language is not an option at our house - if you want to continue residing there. "Potty words" are looked down upon - severely! Words are just one way to demonstrate good manners. A polite compliment, a sincere "How are you?" both go a long way to making the person on the receiving end feel exceptional!
Having 6 boys in my house (my husband totally counts in this situation!), I take manners very seriously. My boys know when it comes to manners, I mean business - especially at mealtimes. I have been known to send a boy to bed without dinner due to gross negligence of mealtime manners. Don't worry, no one has starved and they are all now BIG believers in manners during dinner!
So why is it so hard to help manners make a comeback? Some kids gravitate to manners easily (my 16 year old who always opens the car door for me) and some do not ( my almost 8 year old who has discovered armpit noises - slight laugh, sigh and "ugh!") Manners demonstrate civility, an understanding of relationships and social connections and are good for us mentally and physically.
So the next time you say "Pardon me" or delightfully use the appropriate fork at your plate, remember - you're making the world a better and more fashionable place for everyone!

Poetry 1
After months of failing to master Adobe Photoshop, page layout, and book design software, I was lucky enough to find Darlene Swanson and Van-garde Imagery. Darlene quickly recognized my hopes for Living Mountain and quickly lent her fine eye and long experience to composing the book. She discovered a way to connect photos and poems on facing pages, then worked for consistency across the whole book. I came to see her as a partner in discovering a powerful way to present ideas on the page.

Manage Your Amazon Developer Account and Permissions
You can manage your Amazon Developer account within the Appstore Developer Console. You can give other users permissions to your account, update your contact information, and more.
- Create a Developer Account
- Add Users to Your Organization's Developer Account
- Managing Access to the Developer Console
- Receive Communications
- Change your contact information
- Find Your Customer and Vendor ID
- Create Multiple Profiles Under the Same Account
Create a Developer Account
You must create an Amazon Developer account in order to publish an app in the Appstore.
If you already have an Amazon.com account but not an Amazon developer account, you can optionally sign in with your Amazon.com account. On the backend, the Developer Console will create a developer account using your Amazon.com email address, and then the two accounts will be tied together and synced. You will be prompted to complete the registration profile pages in the Developer Console.
To create a new Amazon Developer account:
- Go to https://developer.amazon.com/.
- Click Sign In in the upper-right corner.
- Click Create your Amazon Developer account.
- Complete the requested fields for your name, email, and password, and then click Create your Amazon Developer account.
- Sign in with your new account. (You can always sign in to the Developer Console by clicking Sign In in the upper-right corner.)
After you sign in, you'll be prompted to complete information on 3 tabs, as shown below. (After you complete this information, you can update it at any time by logging into the Developer Console and going to Settings.)
Complete information about your name and contact information. Here's more information about some fields on this tab.
Developer name or company name. This information (highlighted in yellow below) will appear below your app title in the Appstore listing. Here's an example from the Amazon Music app
Developer Description. This information is not shown on your App details page or anywhere else on the Developer Portal.
Customer support [email, phone, website]. You can (optionally) provide a Customer support email address, support phone, and support website. If you do, the email address and website are added to the Developer info section on your app's listing. Here's an example from the Amazon Music app:
The More apps by this developer (shown in the screenshot above) link lists all other apps published with your same company or developer account.
You can edit this information at any time by going to Settings > My Account and Settings > Company Profile in the Developer Console.
This agreement is required to distribute your app. You can review the agreement at any time here: App Distribution and Services Agreement.
If you plan to monetize your app, you need to submit some information about how Amazon can pay you, as well as tax forms. If you don't want to set up this information now, you can do so later by going to Settings > Payment Information.
Add Users to Your Organization's Developer Account
If your company has multiple users who work on app development and submission, you can give them access to your organization's account. You can also assign each user a role that limits their permissions within your account.
You add users to your Amazon developer account by going to Settings > User Permissions. There are four roles that each user on a company's developer account can have, each with unique permissions.
- Administrator: This role grants complete access to all sections of the developer account, including reporting and payment information. Most importantly, any account administrator has the ability to manage user permissions, including inviting or removing users from the account.
- Marketer: Outside of an Administrator, this is the only role that gives users the ability to edit the content associated with apps (i.e. Descriptions, Images & Multimedia) and IAPs. Like the Analyst, this role also gives access to sales reports. In the Alexa Developer Console, this role can access all Alexa Skills Kit areas except the Payments and Earnings sections.
- Analyst: Outside of an Administrator, this is the only role that gives users the ability to view earnings reports. Like the Marketer, this role also gives users access to sales reports. In the Alexa Developer Console, this role can access all Alexa Skills Kit areas including the Payments and Earnings sections.
- Developer: Outside of an Administrator, this is the only role that gives users the ability submit and adjust application files. In the Alexa Developer Console, this role can access all Alexa Skills Kit areas except the Payments and Earnings sections. This role can also use the ASK Command Line Interface (CLI) and make changes through the Skill Management API (SMAPI).
Choosing the correct user permissions for each user allows the account owner to control what each user can see or do in the company's developer account.
The following table shows the permissions by role.
|App files information
Manage apps on the APK Files tab or App Files tab tabs.
|App details
Manage app details on the Description tab.
|Company profile
Manage information on the Settings > Company Profile tab.
|Earnings/Payments reports
Manage/view information on the Settings > Payment Information tab and view Reporting.
View help documentation.
|My account
Manage information on the Settings > My Account tab.
Create/submit IAP items
|Sales reports
View the Reporting tab.
|User permissions
Manage user permissions at Settings > User Permissions.
|Create/Modify/Delete Alexa Skills in Alexa Skills Kit Developer Console
Manage skills in the Alexa Developer Console.
|Create/Modify/Delete Alexa Skills in ASK CLI/SMAPI
Manage Alexa skills using the command line interface (CLI) or Skill Management API (SMAPI).
|View Alexa Skills Kit Earnings and Payments
View/manage information in the Earnings and Payments tabs of the Alexa Developer Console.
You can view a similar permissions matrix by going to Settings > User Permissions and clicking Show permissions matrix.
After you add a user, the Developer Console sends an email invitation to the user. After the user accepts the invitation, their profile will be added to your company's account. (Note that the user will need to accept the account invitation via the emailed invitation link; this link will redirect your new user to the Developer Portal to complete the user creation process. Your new user should not go directly to the Developer Portal to register, as this may create a separate developer account for the user.)
To remove a user from your organization's developer account, go to Settings > User Permissions, and click Remove access next to the user you want to remove.
Managing Access to the Developer Console
The first user associated with the Alexa Developer Account is considered the owner and will retain full rights to administer the developer account.
Additional users can be invited to have access to the developer account. Invited users will have the rights associated with the roles assigned to the user. Note that as an account owner, you are responsible for all activities that occur under the accounts you authorize.
Receive Communications
Amazon will send email only to the address listed in the company profile when corresponding with you about your app's status. When you set up a new Amazon developer account, you are the default account administrator. You can add other people in other roles to the account, such as analyst, developer, or marketer. You can also add other administrators.
Although any developer or administrator can submit an app, Amazon will send correspondence only to the email address in the company profile. Amazon will not send messages to the email account associated with the person who submitted the app, unless that person's email address is the email address in the company profile. To see which email address is listed, an account with administrator permissions can check the Company Profile on the Settings tab.
Change your contact information
Sign in to the portal, click Settings, and then click Edit to edit your email address, account information, company profile, and user permissions. If you do not have administrator permissions, ask the account administrator to make the changes.
Note that your account contact information isn't necessarily the same as your app's contact information. When you're viewing an app, the General Information tab lists the contact information for the app. There's an option to use the same contact information as your account.
Find Your Customer and Vendor ID
At times, Amazon teams might need your customer and vendor ID in order to whitelist your access to certain programs or documentation pages. You can find your customer and vendor ID by doing the following:
- Sign in to the Developer Console.
Go to https://developer.amazon.com/mycid.html.
Your customer ID and vendor ID are shown on the screen.
Create Multiple Profiles Under the Same Account
You can create multiple developer profiles using one Amazon user account. This feature makes it easy for one user to access multiple Developer Portal accounts, without needing to manage multiple usernames and passwords. To link multiple accounts together, do the following:
- Log into your existing Developer Portal account.
- Go to https://developer.amazon.com/new_firm.html.
- Fill out the required fields to create the new Developer Portal account. Make sure to use a unique "Developer name or company name" for the new account. To switch between accounts you can use the drop-down selector next to your name located at the top-right corner of any page.
Example uses for multiple accounts:
- You are a freelance developer who wants each client to have their own Developer Portal account.
- Your company creates apps across multiple content categories. You can use this feature to use a different company name, or brand, for each app category differently.
- Your company owns multiple companies or has multiple divisions. You can link the parent company to the new companies' Developer Portal account.
- Q: How do I contact Amazon if I have questions about my account?
- Sign in to the Developer Console and go to Settings > Contact Us. Alternatively, go directly here: Contact Us form.
- Q: How do I change the company name for my account?
- To protect the security of your account, Amazon does not allow changes to your company name. You can request changes to your company name by using the Contact Us form.
- Q: How do I change the information Amazon uses to pay me?
- Only users with the administrator role can change payment information. In the Developer Console, go to Settings > Payment Information. For security purposes, the information is not shown on the screen. Click the click here link to view empty banking fields that you can repopulate and submit, overwriting the previous information.

A few weeks ago, I came home late from work and turned on ESPN's "College Football Final." They were going into a Colorado highlight when host Rece Davis said something along the lines of, "There are no two teams in the country who are more improved but have less to show for it than Colorado and Arkansas."
Clearly this was before Arkansas beat LSU and Ole Miss in consecutive weeks.
You might be thinking to yourself, what does this have to do with the 2014 Cheyenne South football team?
Well, that's an apt description for the Bison, is it not?
There was no team in Class 4A more improved but with less to show for it in the standings.
South finished its fourth season of varsity football 2-7, a school record for wins. It scored its first win over a cross-town rival and its first road win (31-28 at Cheyenne Central on Sept. 5). Continue reading

In 2008, books about ecclesiology were selling briskly. Bloggers were consuming and recommending books about the church and church planting at rates never before seen, and the market included both clergy and laity, with the latter group feeling empowered to take an interest in a subject previously left to the professionals. (Historically in North America, while you might need theological degrees to be the pastor of a church, the work of planting includes colorful stories involving all types of people.)
Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices was an important book during this time. The Tyndale House-distributed title with the bright red cover was presumably an update of a previous edition in 2002. According to what I wrote at the time, George Barna's contribution was added for the revised edition. I have to assume that included much of the research; up to 25% of each page contains exhaustive footnotes. Those notes give the book an academic air, but in the end, especially re-reading this today as I've been doing, you realize that some of what is being offered up is based in opinion; specifically a preference for less-institutional, more organic worship setting, specifically the house church type of gathering. The book seems to want to call for a more radical paradigm shift than is realistically possible across the entire spectrum of churches.
In 2008, the market was ripe for a book like this. It was a time for deconstruction, and many were re-inventing the wheel. The terms emergent church and emerging church were on everyone's lips, as was the idea of being missional, but this book doesn't necessarily go there, since many emergent forms consisted of a blended worship which continued to incorporate the very traditional elements the book decries as rooted in medieval Catholicism, academia and even forms from other religions.
Where the book shines however is in terms of giving us an historical understanding of why we do the things we do. The use of church buildings. The sermon form. The robes and vestments. The clergy. The paid church staff. The Choir. Our expression of Baptism and Communion. Christian Education.
In 2016, as I've gone through it again, I believe the book continues to speak into our tendency to do church as it has always been done. Reading it eight years later provides a different lens however; many models were considered and not those churches which were implemented succeeded. Rather, the book inspired church planters to take a salad bar approach, to pick and choose which elements they wished to refine or delete altogether.
However, this time around, I also got more of the sense of walking in on a heated argument; a reminder that there are two sides in a debate, the other being traditionalists. It could be argued that we came through this micro-period in church history and not much changed. Or, it could equally be argued that in 2016 we have a much greater variety of churches doing very different types of things, and giving expression to their worship in unique ways.
For the latter group, the book Pagan may have been a big part of that.

Using the SAP Password BAPIs (Updated)
How to use SAP password BAPIs to fullest advantage
Many users of your SAP-enabled web applications will be people who do not have named SAP userids, either because they are employees who do not require constant access to SAP or because they are business partners. So your applications will use a generic userid (or several, for different types of applications). In many applications, though, you require a userid/password mechanism that guarantees that only authorized persons can access the functionality.
While you could implement the required mechanism yourself (outside of SAP), it is probably faster and easier to use the password BAPIs that SAP provides for the object types Employee, Customer, Vendor, Applicant, and BusPartnerEmployee. (There are some additional object types with password BAPIs but they are either obsolete or have incomplete password functionality.) These object types have a set of BAPIs that allow you to create object type-specific userids and passwords and manipulate and check them.
In SAPGUI, you can use transaction code SU05 to maintain these userids. A normal application will at least need to check the password that a user enters and may also let the user change the password. A more sophisticated application might even enforce a periodic password change.
An administrator application (as an easy-to-use alternative to SU05) must be able to create, delete, and lock userids, re-initialize the password (in case the user has forgotten it), and check the status of a userid. The SAP password BAPIs allow you to do all these things, without you having to worry about a separate database, password encryption et cetera.
If you want to save some time in getting up to speed with these BAPIs, read my article "Password Management for Extranet Applications" in the July/August issue of the SAP Professional Journal (www.sappro.com). And if you are using the SAP Java Connector (JCo) for your applications (the best BAPI middleware I am aware of) then you can even save more time: I have developed a Java component that encapsulates access to the password BAPIs and allows you to manipulate the userids and passwords with a few lines of code. Contact me (email@example.com) if you want to receive an evaluation copy.
By the way, if you are already on 4.6C or later, there is a new mechanism for dealing with external users. RFM SUSR_USER_INTERNET_CREATE allows you to create new standard users through RFC. Details about how to deal with the associated license issues can be found in OSS Note 313585.

We keep telling you about more murders and more violence nearly every day in the Mission District. But now we are going to tell you what police are doing about it.
Sgt. Michael Andraychak tells SF Weekly that the Police Department has allocated "additional staffing" to the Mission District in response to the recent spike in assaults, shootings, and overall violence that have plagued the neighborhood.
While he wouldn't disclose how many more officers are patrolling the streets, he did say the Department's violence reduction teams and gang task force specifically have been deployed to hopefully try to curb the number of people being killed in the Mission.
Just to recap:
Tuesday morning, 28-year-old Jose Matias-Aguilon was shot to death on the corner of 21st Street and South Van Ness. Police arrested two people, including a 14-year-old boy, in connection with the murder.
Five days earlier, two men were shot on Harrison Street; 19-year-old Cesar Bermudez, a San Francisco resident, died, while the other victim is expected to survive. Five days before that, 19-year-old Jose Escobar was shot to death as he walked through the Mission neighborhood.
On September 20, a group of people spontaneously rioted along Valencia Street after an undercover officer shot a man who was believed to be a gang member. Demonstrators trashed the area, smashing car windows and storefronts, as well as scribbling the word "killers" across the Mission Police Station.
And don't forget about the chaos that happened after the World Series win on Sunday; much of the destruction happened right there in the Mission District, where small fires burned. Police arrested three dozen people, and the city attorney is pledging to sue every single one of those vandals.

Calcium + Hydrochloric -> Calcium + Carbon Investigation
Extracts from this document...
Calcium + Hydrochloric -> Calcium + Carbon Carbonate Acid Chloride Dioxide Prediction I predict that the higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid, the quicker the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate will take place. E.g. double the concentration, halve the time it takes for the reaction to take place. This is because as a substance becomes more concentrated there are more particles of that substance in a given space. The greater the concentration of particles, the greater the chance they have of colliding with each other and therefore more chance of reacting quickly. This is the kinetic theory. Apparatus The apparatus needed for the experiment is: * Conical flask * Delivery tube * Large beaker * Burette * Measuring cylinder * Stop watch Diagram Method In this experiment we are going to find out how variables will affect the speed of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. ...read more.
We will measure out 10g of calcium carbonate on a top pan balance and then it will be put into a conical flask. Then 50ml of hydrochloric acid will be put into the conical flask along with the calcium carbonate. At the same time a bung will be fitted on top of the conical flask with a delivery tube in it and the stopwatch will be started. The gas produced will travel through the delivery tube and into the burette, displacing the water in it. When 50cm of water has been displaced the timer will be stopped and the results will be recorded. The experiment will be repeated but with weaker concentrations of hydrochloric acid. The order of the experiments are as follows: Order Hydrochloric Acid (ml) Water (ml) 1st 50 0 2nd 40 10 3rd 30 20 4th 20 30 5th 10 40 There is no point doing the experiment with just water and no hydrochloric acid because calcium carbonate doesn't react with water. ...read more.
Evaluation The apparatus used was only as accurate as the people using it. Obviously the water being displaced out of the burettes had to be judged by eye. The equipment used could be bettered by using digital equipment. When we measured out the 10g of calcium carbonate, we used a digital top pan balance. This could not be more accurate and so we made sure that 10g was measured out exactly each time. On their own these results aren't very reliable. For example, something could have been wrong with the equipment that we didn't know about and could have hampered the results. The best way to get the most reliable results is to do the whole experiment several times and then take the average of the results. Doing this would also show any data that is incorrect. ?? ?? ?? ??

Dave East Ft. A$AP Ferg – Paper Chasin
April 4, 2017 12:55 pm
Dave East & A$AP Ferg fire off shots in "Paper Chasin" video.
Dave East continues to drop videos on videos, coming back with a new clip for A$AP Ferg assisted "Paper Chasin." The Chariot Pictures production directed by Kid Art opens with a visceral tease of things to come, as police sirens wail in the background over sporadic gunfire. The video proceeds to embark on a loose narrative, following our heroes East and Ferg gassing up the whip in badass fashion before an intense parking lot shootout. Bodies get dropped, including a mafioso-style plastic bag fatality.
The video is the second Dave East clip to drop in three days, indicating one important thing – beast mode.

ECONOMISTS have long argued that the most efficient way to curb global warming is to put a price on the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause it. A total of 41 OECD and G20 governments have announced either a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade scheme, or both. Add state and local schemes, and they cover 15% of the world's emissions, up from 4% in 2010. Voters concerned about climate change are egging them on. So, too, are corporate bosses. More firms are imposing such pricing on themselves, even in places where policymakers are dragging their feet.
Of the 6,100-odd firms which report climate-related data to CDP, a British watchdog, 607 now claim to use "internal carbon prices". The number has quadrupled since CDP first began posing the query in its annual questionnaire three years ago. Another 782 companies say they will introduce similar measures within two years. Total annual revenues of these 1,389 carbon-price champions amount to a hefty...Continue reading

Easy,fast and tasty! I followed the advice and added artichokes, turned out very good.
Jan 21, 2011
This was a great easy dish. I used fire roasted canned tomatoes instead of the fresh. I doubled the recipe so I used 2 cans and drained them slightly. I reduced the chicken broth by 1/3 and added a can of artichokes in water (drained). I served with roasted asparagus and cresents. Even my kids ate it! It also made great left overs. I will make this one again.

On Monday, the Highland and History Genealogy Research Tour headed over the sea to Skye. This was quite a long drive but the scenery and wildlife made up for it.
Our destination was Armadale Castle and the Clan Donald Centre. The library had a bit of an internal communication disaster and the librarian wasn't aware that we were coming, but did an absolutely stellar job of managing all of the research requests.
The records in the library are unique to Clan Donald and the lands of the Lord of the Isles.
We had a lovely tour of the museum and had the chance to do research, wander the gardens and walk past the castle.
After our time at Armadale came to an end, we headed back to Inverness, stopping at the iconic Eilea Donan Castle for a photo op and, for some, an ice cream!

BBM application with portfolio assessment data in math learning was collected using observation sheet, students activity data collected using activity observation sheet, while learning completeness could be found from final determination and test consisted of collection portfolio result (Student's Working Sheet and Homework), determination portfolio, and final test. Data analysis used are qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The research showed: a) learning application with BBM strategy with Portfolio assessment applied as the concept. In BBM component collection portfolio determination, what existed were thinking and writing, it could be proven by the students who fulfilled the test as the order. In determination portfolio, BBM component showed up were thinking, talking, and writing. b) In general, all activities had increased since first meeting to fourth meeting. The average of students activities percentage had from first meeting to fourth meeting was 74.07%, 77.78%, 79.8% and 3% with classical percentage 79.07% with good criterion. c) Students' learning completeness (school standard) in classical was 97% with 35 students had fulfilled their study and 1 students still incomplete. While according to criterion completeness of students' learning (National Education Department) in classical was 66.7% with 24 students considered complete and the other 12 were still incomplete.

One thing that many people aren't aware of is that final comes after winter break for me, hence doing the absolute bare minimum (leisure activities wise) and lots of hitting books. Needless to say, it really didn't hit me until this morning that tomorrow will be the last day of 2017. Where DID THE TIME FUDGING AGO?!!! Well, while I procrastinated planning for NYE, this post (which I've gathered from various fashion bloggers/brands/internet) is for all my procrastinating angels out there who are still struggling to make a last minute decision. IF there is a place to be and nothing to wear, I hope this serves as somewhat an inspiration to celebrate the beginning of yet another year, in the most stylish manner possible, of course!
For my boho goddesses:
For my edgy city troopers in heels:
The thriving baddies:
Which look will you be rocking this NYE? Let me know!
In the meantime, let's enjoy these last precious moments of 2017…
xo, J

Is the time that it takes to boot up and power down a computer at the beginning and the end of the day work?
A number of lawyers are trying to settle that question. On the one hand, users start rebooting the computer and then spend up to 15-20 minutes chatting, getting coffee, and so on during the process, which adds up to a lot of unproductive time for the employer, contends one side. On the other hand, the bootup process -- which may be required due to security or power concerns, and can include a variety of programs required by the employer -- needs to be performed by the employee before they can work, and it can add up to a lot of unpaid time for the employee.
There is, of course, a long history of requiring employees to contribute unpaid time to the employer, ranging from George Orwell to Upton Sinclair. But unlike that era, employees are now fighting back.
During the past year, the article described, several companies -- including AT&T Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Cigna Corp. -- have been hit with lawsuits in which employees claimed that they were not paid for the 15- to 30-minute task of booting their computers at the start of each day and logging out at the end. One respondent to the article said she had worked for MBNA and had been required to show up 15 minutes early, and received a check some time later in response to a class-action lawsuit paying her for that extra time.
The attorney for some of the employee cases disputes the contention that employees are goofing off while the computers boot up, claiming that they are actually starting paperwork, making calls, or arranging their calendar while waiting on the computer.
The problem can be particularly acute in call centers, where there may be hundreds of employees who may be required to show up as much as fifteen minutes early in order to be ready to work by a particular time.
Employees also wonder where it will end.
"Taken to a logical extrapolation an employer could pay a receptionist only for the time he/she is routing a phone call not the few minutes of "downtime" in between," noted one commenter. "It could easily be argued that when I hit the "Compile" button on a large project, I'm taking a work break because my machine is doing all the work," agreed another.

The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech. - Edwin H. Friedman

The Choice- Robert Whitlow
I have had a hard time sneaking in reading time lately, and wouldn't you know that some of my favorite authors have been coming out with new books. Robert Whitlow is a great author and I have always loved his books. I started The Choice last night, and tried to go to bed, couldn't sleep and got up and finished it around midnight! Where there is a will there is a way!
1974 finds Sandy and her boyfriend Brad 'in trouble'. Yes you really can get pregnant the first time, and now Sandy has to pay the consequences. Back in a time when teen pregnancies were hidden and shamed. Sandy has to leave school unless she gets an abortion. Her boyfriend Brad wants to marry her.. if she gets rid of the baby. This is on the heals of Roe Vs. Wade, abortions are legal and Brad and his family push for that. It just doesn't sit right with Sandy. She decides that the offer to go live with her Mother's olders sister in Georgia would be the best option, as there is a school there where pregnant teens can finish their high school year.
Sandy has decided to give the baby up for adoption, knowing she isn't ready to be a Mom.
What a choice... who says pro life women aren't pro choice, often making very difficult choices themselves.
This book chronicles Sandy's next months until after the birth. Then the author jumps 20 years ahead. Yep you can see what is coming here, long lost adopted child seeks out mom or vice versa. I don't want to give you any info, but it is a page turner! Sandy can see God's hand in the season of her life.
Very well written as the characters are so real, so touching, and you just want to reach out and comfort Sandy and her mom! Robert Whitlow's book dedication was very touching as well:
"To mothers. You give away part of your life each time you bring a baby into the world. May you be blessed for your selflessness."
Prove 31:28
Her children arise and call her blessed.

15-11-2012 | Parkinson's disease | Article
Combined exercise approach may help Parkinson's patients
medwireNews: A mixture of gait training and strengthening exercises may be beneficial for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), suggest findings from a randomized trial.
"All types of exercise do not produce the same results, and certain exercises are more effective than others for selected outcomes," say Lisa Shulman (University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA) and colleagues.
Treadmill exercise improved the patients' gait, whereas stretching resistance exercises improved muscle strength, they report in the Archives of Neurology.
"This research adds to the evidence regarding the value of interventions for PD beyond medications and surgery and offers an opportunity for patients to be active participants in their care," write Liana Rosenthal and E Ray Dorsey (The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland) in an associated editorial.
They add: "Exercise puts the patient - not a pill - at the center of care, which is exactly where patients want and ought to be."
The trial included 67 patients who were randomly assigned to undertake stretching and resistance exercises (two sets of 10 repetitions on each leg on three resistance machines), or treadmill training at low intensity (50 minutes at 40-50% of heart rate reserve) or high intensity (30 minutes at 70-80% of heart rate reserve). The patients exercised three times a week for 3 months.
Surprisingly, the low-intensity treadmill exercise had a larger impact on gait than did the high-intensity exercise, improving distance on the 6-minute walk test by 12% versus 9%.
"One explanation is that, when the velocity is increased, gait mechanics may become strained, 'sloppy,' and less efficient as patients try to keep pace," suggest Shulman et al. They say that "the key differentiating factor may be training duration or the effect of training velocity on gait biomechanics, particularly for participants with reduced physiologic reserve."
Stretching and resistance exercise also improved distance on the 6-minute walk test, by 9%, and was the only intervention to result in improved muscle strength, by 16%. Conversely, the treadmill intervention improved cardiovascular fitness by 7-8%, whereas stretching and resistance exercise did not.
However, in line with previous research, the changes in patients' walking speed and fitness did not translate into improvements in ambulation at home (Step Activity Monitor) or activities of daily living performance (Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale).
"It is unclear whether the extent of improvements is inadequate to improve function or whether the measures are insensitive to these changes for clinical practice," says the team.

The Victims
Byrd and Melanie Brock Billings were residents of Pensacola, FL. They were known in the community for their seemingly altruistic endeavor of taking on special needs children in a rather bulk manor.They had within 9-14 within the passing years. They were mourned after their murders as pillars of the community. Kind, giving people who were senselessly murdered.
Melanie Brock was one of Byrd's stripper's at "the Backseat". She was significantly younger than Byrd but when they married she had 2 daughters. Ashley & Nikki. Nikki was a disabled child which is probably the reason they took in the other kids. The girls were accepted by Byrd as his children even though he had grown children not in the area as well as an adopted son, Justin that he had full custody of. Ashley, in fact, worked with Byrd at the car lot with her husband, James "Blue" Markham. The family seemed close-knit.
There was speculation of exploitation of the children in the household. When there is a person of Byrd's character and prior deviant acts, putting him in proximity to special needs children, does not leave much doubt he was somehow exploiting them. He made a very public attempt in the early 2000's to copyright his kids' names and tried to sue Department of Children and Families for every document mentioning the names of the children. It was eventually thrown out, but this is the man we are dealing with. He also was convicted of adoption fraud in 1989, in an attempt to obtain his son Justin. Somehow he was allowed to keep the child in lieu of his conviction. That remains questionable. This is the pillar of the community that is put on display after the murder. The society of the city wouldn't have spit on Byrd Billings to save his life; then he is murdered and martyred to the country as a philanthropist or humanitarian.

When you think of Brunswick and Brunswick East often Sydney Road and Lygon Street are the first dining areas that come to mind. Nicholson Road may be quieter and more residential but it still has some great spots for brunch, like our new favourite Pope Joan. Pope Joan has a really lovely feel about it. It's light and airy with beautiful decor that really welcomes you and draws you inside. There's a feeling of space, a great use of texture and natural tones throughout. We started our meal with coffees. The first, creamy, rich and delicious with a good consistency and mouthfeel. We promptly ordered a second, equally delicious brew. The constant stream of people ducking in and out for takeaway demonstrating that we were not the only ones who enjoyed their coffee.Our first choice from the menu was a Green Omelette, served with chilli salt and a slice of toast. It was absolutely loaded with broccoli and veggies, a huge serving with creamy eggs. The baked ricotta inside was a delightful surprise, added to the creaminess of the dish. The chilli salt gave it a bit of zing, the ability to serve it yourself meant it was always to taste. This a wonderfully filling but also healthy way to start the day! Finally, we also order the Full Breakfast, a hearty serving of beans, sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs. The beans were the standout, served in a sardine tin with a punchy flavour and a firm but light texture. The bacon was a classic short cut, smokey, meaty and well cooked. The scrambled eggs were creamy and the sausages were, herbed and juicy. We would have liked a sharper knife with our meal, as well as just a bit of greenery on the plate.
We loved Pope Joan's cafe space and delicious coffee. We'll be sure to come back and sample more of the menu offerings!

[Updated] Can no longer change your name color
As in the May update, name color was fixed and we can no longer change it anymore.
Now, all players just have the same color white name instead of multicolor ones. Perhaps the purpose is that we can now more focus on the battle rather than the name color. XD

10-20-2017, 07:29 PM (This post was last modified: 10-20-2017, 07:30 PM by gayprojectforum.)
Dear Project,
today for the first time I had the evidence of the stupidity of some guys and I also sent one of them to hell, not to say worse, even though he was a very good guy in many respects and I liked him a lot. I've always been afraid of sexually transmitted diseases and I'll explain why, and some of the things you've told me have accentuated my fears. I do not think that happiness can be achieved just though sex, though sex is still a thing that creates a true dimension of intimacy, however, thinking of ruining life for five minutes of unprotected sex with an unknown guy seems to me the classic behavior of a totally irresponsible person.
I had a friend, or better, luckily, I still have a friend, he is a guy of Irish origin, I'll call him Patrick, even though this is not his name. Patrick has become HIV positive for underestimating the risks. It is true that now being HIV positive does not turn immediately to AIDS because there are antiretroviral drugs that control the situation well enough and that's why the outlook is far less terrible than a few decades ago, but Patrick's life will be permanently conditioned by the HIV. I've seen how Patrick changed after the diagnosis and everything he needs to do for therapy and related clinical controls and are not at all banal things, and anyway HIV is not definitely eliminated.
Talking to Patrick causes me distress and it causes me also rage because no one has ever made him reason, on the other hand I too didn't even do it, I thought he was very careful about prevention but it did not happen, and I cannot even blame him because he did not have risky behaviors or at least he did not seem to have risky behaviors. He had sex only with his partner and his partner didn't know he was HIV positive. So, in essence, no one and not even his partner is really guilty of what happened. You could try to figure out who has infected his partner but you would end up tracing back the infection chain without any real utility.
The only way to avoid what happened would have been to test before having sexual intercourse and repeat the test after the window period without having sexual intercourses between the two tests, but it's a long thing, not easy to accomplish and people end to neglect it with the terrible consequences that Patrick is now facing. I must say that I am very informed about HIV (I study Medicine) and I have continued to attend Patrick, but many of his friends, having known that he is HIV positive, abandoned him completely and this has greatly aggravated his psychological situation.
After I saw how Patrick's life changed (because of these things I often talk with him), I became absolutely uncompromising in terms of prevention, I would say almost maniac. At that time I had not had already any sexual intercourse with anyone and I was quiet for my personal situation, but later I also had a boyfriend. Until a few months ago, I was with a guy who unfortunately got tired of staying with me and has gone, but from the perspective of prevention he was a guy with the brain in the head. When we thought we could have sexual intercourse, we went together to test and another time four months later for the window effect, clearly we went together to test and retire the results, so as to take away any doubt, therefore, when we had sexual intercourse we did not have in the background the ghost of the fear of HIV.
There is not only HIV but there are several other sexually transmitted diseases, which make perhaps less frightening but are able to cause anyway serious damages. And then, if one goes to test, he becomes also more careful and learns that prevention is a fundamental thing. Of course we waited four and a half months to have sex, but when we did, we could only think about sex and not about the possible risks. Okay, this was my ex-boyfriend, and losing him caused me trouble, because he was not the type of sexual escapades, he had met Patrick, and Patrick had shown him very closely that the risks really exist. Anyway my ex-boyfriend left because we were thinking about other things in very different ways, however he left, and bye!
But since then it had been over a year and I was slowly falling in love with another guy, a very nice and very sweet guy, a guy I loved very much. We started chatting, then we met in the evening to talk a bit (he lives somewhere near my home). Then, inevitably, sexual expectations were also created. I told him about my story and he told me about his. At this point he thought we would come to sex immediately, because in our stories it didn't seem to be any risk of sexually transmitted diseases, but in such things I don't accept at all the word "seem", and I told him that we had to do the double test before having sex, as I had done with my old boyfriend. He was very weirded by this speech. I quote here a piece of a mail about the subject:
"I felt treated like a leper. You do not trust what I tell you. But why should I tell you something false? Do you want to use the condom? Okay, that's fine, but using it for oral sex just seems absurd. But you do not even need this, you just want to do the test and you want to do it twice! But so we have to throw away five months to wait. But do you feel right? And It's all for a matter of principle, because you know that you can trust me. Please, try to think serenely and put aside absurd complexes!"
Obviously I could not give in, I told him I did not want any risk and our relationship began to crunch. We met another couple of times, the second time I told him about Patrick's story because I thought that the story would cause him to reason but that didn't happen at all and he reacted in a way that annoyed me and probably from here on our relationship went into crisis. I told him that Patrick had only had sex with his boyfriend and that his boyfriend did not know he was HIV positive. I had told him so because that was what really happened, but he started to do strange faces, almost insinuating that Patrick probably had had sex with so many guys and that he probably had infected his partner, but such things were all completely devoid of sense, because he had heard Patrick's name for the first time just 10 minutes before. Then I became the target of his frustrations, he considered me a psychopath. In the end he put an ultimatum
"or tonight we do it and as I like, or our story is over. I think you'll be happy."
I cannot stand ultimatums, and even less that someone judges without knowing what he is talking about, nevertheless I tried to make him understand my point of view and said:
" But how can you not understand that it is not a psychological problem but a real risk? Patrick trusted his boyfriend and came out devastated. You do not know him, you know nothing about him and you think you can judge him, but you don't know how he is now, you should meet him and understand so much more. Anyway I do not blame you, before I saw closely Patrick's story, I too considered these things very superficially, it was he who taught me to reason and not to trust. I'm not full of complexes about sex as you think, I'm not trying to get away from anything, before I knew you, I had a boyfriend and we had sex a lot of times, but it was safe sex. I've seen more than once worried guys for having had unprotected sex, guys who have been waiting for the test results with a terrible anxiety, they felt extremely worried because they felt as if they had played a game similar to the Russian roulette. In the end, things have gone well for them, but your answer: "So why should not go well to you?" It seems completely absurd, because to Patrick things went wrong. But, sorry, is it not better also for you to have security at another level? It's about waiting, and then we can be well together even without sex, not forever, but only for a while."
After this message he disappeared altogether. Now he is not with me, but there is not even fear in the background. I told Patrick that this guy was gone and he said to me:
"He has had a really childish behavior, if he really wanted to, he would have understood, but he preferred trying to force things and impose his point of view, and this is already not a good sign and in fact he has tried to impose an imprudent behavior, which means that it underestimates the risks and as he did it on this occasion he could have done the same in the future. I think that if the guys could see closely the problems caused by HIV they would use much more brain and with a serious education on prevention, the risk of AIDS could be slowly eliminated."
If you want to post this mail, post it, I think you should absolutely publish it because making the guys aware of the risks of unprotected sex might be equivalent to saving their lives.
A hug.

The Stevin Centre for History of Science and Humanities is a collaboration of staff members from different faculties of the VU University Amsterdam. It was opened on March 18, 2014. Members of the Stevin Centre offer English and Dutch taught courses on the history of science and the humanities at the BA and MA levels. The Stevin Centre is also a platform for research in the history of science and the humanities at the VU University and it organizes workshops, colloquia and seminars. The Stevin Centre is a part of the interdisciplinary Research Institute CLUE+ of the Vrije Universiteit.
The Centre is named after the polymath Simon Stevin (1548-1620), who was born in Bruges, but lived from 1581 in what is now the Netherlands. Stevin developed a wide range of activities, in which knowledge and knowledge practices always played a central role. He not only advised Prince Maurice about fortifications and dyke building, he was also involved in the foundation of an engineering school in Leiden and he published on urban house construction. He advocated not only the use of decimal fractions, but also the use of the living Dutch instead of the dead Latin language. He occupied himself not only with mathematics, perspective and mechanics, but also with bookkeeping, accounting and music theory. He was concerned about the principles of good citizenship, and he expressed himself on the education of youth. An intense desire for the return to a peaceful and perfect society is manifest in several of his writings.
