Amy & Rachel arrived in Ohio just fine and only a little late (darn that Detroit airport!). We had a nice lunch at Max & Erma's and then scooted on home. Mom's brothers were going to join us for supper (hence the pizza) since the girls head back to Minnesota before the Anderson gathering. Folks all napped and I returned home to goof off (and write my journal entry).
Uncle Bob & Aunt Madeline arrived first, followed by Uncle Doug, Aunt Charlene and finally Patty, my cousin. We all squeezed around the kitchen table for pizza, chips, and popcorn popped in Gramma's old kettle. (Doug recognized it right away.) We had a nice evening chatting, eating, and laughing. I ate too much (no surprise there).
The next day was our day off. Heh. We decided to spend it shopping. CD Connection to pick up an Amy gift, the pet store for Leo's present, then K's for lunch. K's is a greasy spoon (aka diner) that's been in Troy since 1935. I got a cheeseburger, fries, and malted milk. Very yummy. And greasy. The way cheeseburgers are meant to be. We then headed off to Kohl's where I found a bedspread for my winter sheets. It's flannel and had matching shams & bedskirt all together. I also got a spare set of snowman flannel sheets for when my current winter sheets wear out. Some more Christmas presents were found & bought. And our final stop of the shopping experience was Krogers, for all of the groceries we'd need for the holidays.
Once we got back, I dumped my stuff off in my house. When I got back to the folks' house, I found out they had a phone call from Aunt Becky - they were waiting on the squad to come & pick up Granny. So mom & dad headed off to Granny's and followed the ambulance to the emergency room. Granny was having intestinal woes (TMI) but in the process of helping her with that, they found out her blood had gotten too thin and she was bleeding internally. Eep! Had she not had the intestinal complaint, they wouldn't have found the blood chemistry problem and she probably would have passed away that evening. Yikes!
The good news is that they caught it in time. They were able to stabilize her condition and they admitted her to ICU that night. Mom & dad stayed with her the whole time, finally coming home after 11pm or so. Poor Granny!
Today, Amy, Rachel & I went to visit Granny in ICU. She recognized us OK, but she did have a lot of confusion. She asked about Grandma Lowry (either her grandmother or mother - I'm not sure which). She was convinced that mom & dad were in a car accident and was relieved when we told her that they were both home and fine. It was sad to see her with such confusion, but she is eating and drinking. Not a lot, but it's something. Her blood pressure is fairly normal now. They still have the intestinal complaint to deal with, so she has that to contend with. But they'll do what they can for her. When the folks get home from visiting, we'll find out of there's anything new.
After visiting Granny, we headed to the Night Sky Cafe for lunch. Grilled cheese on sourdough with tomato & ham, plus a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup, was my lunch. I bought lunch for the girls too. Then off to Wynan's for coffee (for the girls) and cocoa (peppermint, for me). A stop in The Bakehouse for a chocolate chip cookie split three ways, and we were done with the downtown. We stopped at Krogers once more to pick up something for the parentals, then back home.
I returned home to form the dried beef cheeseballs I made this morning. One for tonight at Granny's (even though she won't be there - alas!), one for tomorrow night when we open presents, and two to take along to elsaf's. One for the Doctor Who Viewing Party (where her brother and his g/f will join us to watch The Christmas Invasion!) and the other for when Elsa, judiang and I get together in Chicago.
While typing this up, I got a call from CD Connection- the other CD that I ordered is in, so I should probably go get it before the party tonight. Then I can wrap it tonight so it'll be ready for tomorrow. Yay! I love Christmas!
Granny, get well!

Facebook has announced an ambitious plan to address large-scale social, health and infrastructure challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Together with key non-profit and research partners, the company plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to address challenges that range from rural electrification in Tanzania to vaccinating people in remote corners of Malawi.
The leading social media company aims to create the world's most detailed and accurate maps of local populations. Facebook also partners with Columbia University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) to ensure that this effort leverages the best available administrative data for all countries involved.
The Boston-based Facebook team uses advanced computer vision and machine learning to combine satellite imagery from Digital Globe with public census data and other sources to create detailed population density maps of Africa.
Using Facebook's machine learning capabilities, Facebook started developing population density maps to provide better tools to support connectivity efforts around the world. No Facebook data has been or will be used in the project and the census and satellite data used contain no personally identifiable information.
High-resolution satellite imagery already exists for much of the world. However, prior to Facebook's mapping project, it would have required countless hours for volunteers to comb through millions of square miles of pictures to identify which contained a tiny town or remote village.
"I have witnessed first-hand the critical role that accurate data plays in the effectiveness of humanitarian efforts," said Laura McGorman, a Public Policy Manager at Facebook.
"What's exciting about projects like these that they provide an opportunity for our company to contribute to these efforts through our expertise in data and machine learning," she added.
In Malawi, a drive known as the Missing Maps Project used these AI-powered maps to filter out the 97% of the terrain that is uninhabited. This helped to coordinate the efforts of 3,000 Red Cross volunteers in Malawi who visited roughly 100,000 houses in just three days to educate people about measles and rubella vaccines
"The maps from Facebook ensure we focus our volunteers' time and resources on the places they're most needed, improving the efficacy of our programs," said Tyler Radford, Executive Director of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, which is part of the Missing Maps Project.
The maps have been used by aid groups like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank, and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap. In Tanzania, Facebook's AI-powered maps helped kick-start efforts to bring renewable electrification to rural areas.
The Facebook population density maps project now aims to keep adding new continents and countries.

Clyst St George batsman Sam Read hits third ton of the season to lead side to victory over Feniton
PUBLISHED: 22:33 10 June 2019 | UPDATED: 22:33 10 June 2019
Clyst St George batsman Sam Read is just 21 runs shy of becoming the first batsman in the Tolchards Devon League to reach 500 runs this season after his third century of the campaign helped the Bohea Field men to a 100 run victory over Feniton when the sides met in a top-of-the-table D Division East contest.
The visitors won the toss and invited the home side to bat first and Chris Ferro and Sam Read launched the home innings and took the score to 60 before Ferro was sent packing, caught and bowled for eight.
Ten runs were added before Dan Kenyon became the second home wicket, in his case out for one. That brought Freddie Creer to the wicket to join Read and the pair took the home effort to 147 before Creer was bowled for 21.
Read was next to depart with his side's score then 168-4 and, at that stage, Read had dominated proceedings, facing 106 balls for his 119 which included eight fours and no fewer than seven sixes!
Andrew Donovan and Jayakrupakar Nallala gave the innings a late boost as they put on a quick-fire 70 for the fifth wicket with Nallala next man out but not before he had walloped 42 from just 27 deliveries. Ollie Chatterjee was sixth man down, caught for two and that left Bertie Creer (1) and Donovan (31 from 29 balls) as the not out batsmen as Clyst St George closed on 246-6 in 45 overs.
When Feniton batted, it was Bertie Creer who made the initial breakthrough with the visitors on 32. Two more wickets fell before the Feniton score reached three figures - both visiting batsmen being caught by Nallala off the bowling of Owen Walton.
From 96-3, the reply slipped to 112-6 as Sam Read claimed a wicket and Freddie Creer picked up two. Bertie Creer held a catch to give brother Freddie his third wicket and it was soon 130-8 as centurion Read bagged his second wicket. The end came soon after as Freddie Creer completed his 'fivefer' to see Feniton bowled out for 142 in 37.1 overs.
Freddie Creer topped the bowling honours with a splendid return of 5-21 from 7.1 overs. Sam Read completed an excellent afternoon's all-round shift with 2-25 from seven over and Owen Walton's return was 2-21.
The win, a fifth of the D Division East campaign, leaves Clyst St George 13 points clear at the top of the table with one-third of the season completed.
This Saturday (June 15), sees Clyst travel to Mid Devon to meet Kentisbeare.

Chinese Food
This is the first I took the picture of chinese food. For it is the first time, I found that taking a pciture of food is very difficult. You need to prepare a lot of equipments. It need to control the light very well. When I took the picture in a very open area, it is so hard to deal with the nature light and the indoor light.
But taking picture of food is a very interesting thing. We always are accustomed to taste the dainty and will not focus on how nice the food is. So to find the beautiful view of the food is very interesting.

It's a good thing summer is almost over, because there is nothing worse than a movie like this inspiring tons of girls to wear Daisy Dukes.
There nothing worse than people making dumbass comments like that
what's so dumb about the comment? It's obvious all the little girls would want to', 'run around with booty cutter shorts on, just because Jessica is doing it.
She looks hot….. Wish I could have seen the performance!
I hate the short short shorts….I know that I don't care to see butt cheeks hanging', 'out…. Jessica Simpson wears them in promoting her role and movie (and she looks hot)…once the "Dukes" fever is over, she'll put on pants, or capris, or even a short skirt that is more trendy and classy. But other girls should NOT wear them!
She has a flat ass, what's so hot about that? She is pretty though.

Tests from our Testing Laboratory! In our Testing Laboratory we are intensifying tests on shelters according to the standard UNI EN ISO 14120:2015, that concerns the general conditions for the design and construction of fixed and mobile shelters.
More and more often in fact the market requires the respect of the standard, by carrying out tests to verify that shelters fulfil their purpose properly.
In the last weeks, we have published the video of the "test of bullet", implemented by a special equipment called "cannon", to measure the resistance of protections to impacts coming from inside the danger zone.
In this case, we wanted to simulate the force of the shelters to a possible expulsion of a broken part of the machine due to a malfunctioning, or of a piece of manufacture. Watch the video on YouTube!
Tests have continued with the execution of the "test of pendulum", used to test the resistance of shelters to impacts from the outside of the danger protected zone and from the inside. The test provides to simulate the impact of a body against the shelters to evaluate the resistance.
As you see here, not always the shelters exceed the expected test results, so it is necessary for the manufacturers to perform appropriate tests on protections, in order to evaluate the conformity with standards and guarantee a quality product certificated in terms of safety to the market.
Send an email to email@example.com for more information about tests that our Accredited Laboratory can perform and on ECM services for factories!
