Crowley Establishes New Service Between Puerto Rico and USVI
To better serve customers shipping in the Caribbean Basin and beyond, Crowley Maritime Corp.'s liner services group announced today that it has launched a new feeder shipping service connecting San Juan, Puerto Rico; Rio Haina, Dominican Republic; and St. Croix and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
With the new service, vessels depart Rio Haina on Sundays and arrive in San Juan on Tuesdays. After departure on Thursdays, cargo arrives in St. Thomas and St. Croix on Fridays, before the vessel moves to the Dominican Republic again for Sunday operations. This fast, reliable schedule also provides customers shipping time-sensitive cargo the advantage of end-of-week departures with early-week arrivals in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Customers can ship cargo in all types of equipment, including 20- and 40-foot refrigerated "reefer" and dry containers, 45-foot by 102-inch dry containers and flat racks. Supporting the ocean freight services are employees at the company's San Juan, Rio Haina and USVI facilities, who can streamline the handling and delivery of goods to their final destinations using a full portfolio of supply chain services, including warehousing, Customs clearance and trucking.
"We are pleased to offer customers yet another innovative service connecting key trading markets throughout the Caribbean Basin," said Steve Collar, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley international services. "The addition of this service helps us to remain focused on providing customers long-term competitive and reliable supply chain solutions by leveraging our expanded capabilities. It's yet another way we're strengthening our reputation as a market leader in the Caribbean."
This fast and reliable feeder service complements the company's existing cargo transportation services linking Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the USVI with the surrounding Caribbean (including the Leeward, British Virgin and Windward Islands), Central America and the U.S. Mainland. Earlier this month Crowley announced a new, direct northbound sailing between Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and Port Everglades, Fla.
Customers who want to learn more about these new services should contact Crowley's customer care team by calling 1-800-CROWLEY, and selecting option two.

Helping Single Moms program has received support from the United Way
IHA's Helping Single Moms Overcome Obstacles on their Path to Financial Stability and Emotional Well-Being program was partially funded through the United Way of Frederick's Live United Grant. This program began in August 2018 and is expected to become an ongoing program that IHA will be offering. Over 60% of the IHA Purchase Repair Homeownership Program have been single moms and we have found that group workshops encourage them to realize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! The initial funder for the new program was the Women's Giving Circle.

The outback is an amazing and profoundly beautiful place to be, but if you've ever woken up in your swag to the sound of multiple dingos howling only metres from your head or strange squelchy scratching sounds when camped in crocodile country the outback can sometimes be a little eerie or downright scary.
No matter how well you are prepared for a bush adventure, it takes a special kind of person who can drive out into the middle of nowhere and not for a few seconds wonder about what is lurking in the vicinity of their campsite. Space is what we all crave but at the same time too much space can mess with your head, especially when it's dark and especially if you've ever watched the film Wolfe Creek.
For that reason I am the owner of "critter cam" an infrared camera intended for hunting. I set it up at night time to record what's happening when I'm fast asleep (or awake worrying). The cameras are fairly inexpensive ($160AUD), easy to set up and can either be set up to take video or stills. You'll be amazed what these things capture and they might give you some peace of mind.

Last month I had the joy of going on campus at Bakersfield College with Pastor Kyle and his intern, Haley. And what a fruitful time! We shared the Gospel with several students and taught them how to do One Thing Studies. The highlight for me was seeing Kyle and Haley (pictured above) engage with students while I just watched from a distance. I get to go back to Bakersfield in the next couple of weeks and help train more students (from Kyle's college group) in evangelism and disciple-making on campus.
I am continuously amazed at the spiritual openness on campuses all over CA!
There are 2.1 million students on 113 community colleges in CA alone!
Pray for Pastor Kyle as he continues equipping students to multiply disciples at Bakersfield College, Taft College, and CSU Bakersfield.
There are pastors like Kyle near every community college; please pray that that Lord would connect us with them!
Thank you for joining us!
The Yorks are passionate about bringing the Gospel to the nations - especially the unreached of the world (those who have no access to the Gospel). They are convinced that the greatest impact they can have in reaching the unreached is by multiplying disciples on college campuses and equipping churches to be missional disciple-makers.

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has received an order for large container ships worth 1.09 trillion won, showing a good sign that it will meet its order goal for this year.
SHI has won a contract from Evergreen, a Taiwanese shipping company, for about 1.09 trillion won ($920 million) to build six 23,000 TEU container ships, a company spokesman said on Oct. 8.
The new vessel is a super container ship that can carry 23,764 20-foot containers at once, with a length of 400 meters, width of 61.5 meters and height of 33.2 meters. SHI rewrote its world's largest container ship (23,756 loaded capacity) record in July. The ship was delivered to MSC in Switzerland in July this year.
With the deal, SHI has been recognized for its quality competitiveness in the large carrier market, with its order backlog of 23,000 TEU-class supercarrier ships increasing to 14 vessels, the world's largest, while also taking a step closer to meeting its order target, the spokesman said.
SHI has received orders totaling $5.1 billion so far this year, achieving 65 percent of its target $7.8 billion. By class of ships, there are 14 crude carriers, followed by 11 LNG (liquid natural gas) carriers, six container ships, two petrochemical product carriers, one special ship, and one FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) ship.

Hi folks! This is a little follow up video to the one I just posted entitled Should I Attend an Open House Without My Real Estate Agent.
I have been hearing some agents claim that homes don't get sold through open houses. They suggest that it's just a way for listing agents to pick up buyers. I feel that this is untrue. Case in point, I just sold a N. Hills townhouse through an open house I held this weekend!
Here are things I do at my open houses to help get your home sold:
- I put thought into the things that make your home special and then design my open house around them.
- Example: the townhouse I mentioned had a great deck that looked out onto a lovely wooded area. Hence, when people came by to tour the home, I let them know we had cold drinks out back. It was a terribly hot day and they might have avoided going outside without this enticement. This allowed them to spend a minute on the deck while sipping an ice cold La Croix and imagining entertaining out there.
- Example: I staged the bathrooms with pretty shower curtains and matching towels and candles. The bathrooms were a nice selling point since each of the two bedrooms had a full bath attached which is not always the case. This allowed the baths to shine rather than looking dull and empty.
- At NextHome RARE Properties we make sure that our listings get little signs posted throughout the home that call out unique features of that home. This is helpful when people are touring at an open house and also when they come by for a private showing with their agent and I am not there. As they move through the house, cards remind them to note things like a wood burning fireplace or a front porch perfect for enjoying their morning coffee or a refreshing community pool just steps away…
3. Great signage. It's important to place lots of signs running from the main road through the neighborhood up to the house so potential buyers don't get lost. This seems obvious, but putting out signs can be a pain and sometimes an agent might skimp.
So to sum things up… YES you can sell a home through an open house, IF that open house is done correctly.
If you have other questions about how I can help you sell your home quickly and for a great price, please contact me at:

Happy to answer your questions!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Because of Her by K.E. Payne
Published: Bold Strokes Books (2014), eARC, 264pg
Source: NetGalley
Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, GLBTQ
For seventeen-year-old Tabitha "Tabby" Morton, life sucks. Big time. Forced to move to London thanks to her father's new job, she has to leave her friends, school, and, most importantly, her girlfriend Amy, far behind. To make matters worse, Tabby's parents enroll her in the exclusive Queen Victoria Independent School for Girls, hoping that it will finally make a lady of her.
But Tabby has other ideas.
Loathing her new school, Tabby fights against everything and everyone, causing relations with her parents to hit rock bottom. But when the beautiful and beguiling Eden Palmer walks into her classroom one day and catches her eye, Tabby begins to wonder if life there might not be so bad after all.
When Amy drops a bombshell about their relationship following a disastrous visit, Tabby starts to see the need for new direction in her life. Fighting her own personal battles, Eden brings the possibility of change for them both. Gradually, Tabby starts to turn her life around—and it's all because of her. (from Goodreads)
I really wanted to like this! It's a contemporary YA book with a lesbian protagonist set in England at a fancy upper-class school. All things I like! However, I couldn't behind a few of the plot points, including the main one which was the relationship between Tabby and Eden. It WOULD have been totally adorable except for the fact that it moves into Tabby-cheating-on-her-girlfriend territory. I am not down with cheating, y'all, even if it's against an unsuitable partner. Just break up with them!
Also the pacing is super slow. SUPER slow. At first I was all into it. It reminded me a little of Anna and the French Kiss!1 Unlike with Anna, though, I wasn't as emotionally invested in the relationship between Tabby and Eden. It's a VERY slow burn kind of romance. Sometimes that works for me, but not for this book, unfortunately. I just couldn't stay interested. I ended up DNF'ing it at about 65% because I just didn't care anymore.
I know, I know, people cheat IRL and it's realistic and blah blah blah. However! Tabby goes on and on about how Eden was making her a better person.
A) I did not see any actual evidence of that besides Tabby joining a fencing club, which I guess was good because it gave her a new hobby? She apparently didn't have one before, idk.
B) Meeting Eden may have actually made her a WORSE person! Tabby felt compelled to cheat on/ignore her girlfriend to be with Eden more and more; it's not like Eden encouraged her to forsake her girlfriend or anything, but still. Eden + Tabby = Tabby doing morally suspect things and I don't think the new fencing hobby makes up for that.
C) We don't actually see Tabby and Eden together all that much. Mostly I remember it as Tabby staring at Eden while Eden's crappy friends make fun of Tabby for being somewhat butch. Tabby and Eden ARE in the fencing club together, and they do go on "dates," but most of the actual action/talking/getting to know one another is off-screen. Reading about Tabby pining over Eden is fine and dandy, but not for 150 pages out of a 250 page book. I want something more, y'know? I wouldn't even have minded philosophical conversations a la John Green.
How do you feel about characters cheating on their significant others? I think I wouldn't have minded it so much if there hadn't been that whole thing about how Eden was making Tabby a better person, or if Tabby had actually told her girlfriend that she wanted to break up and why. Instead, Tabby passive-aggressively let the relationship die and then practically congratulated herself when her girlfriend broke up with her first. Ew.
It's not like it was the best relationship anyway, but I wish Tabby had treated her girlfriend with the same amount of respect she was giving to Eden.
Read: February 27-March 4, 2014

How can we achieve sustainability in commercial real estate? This is a major, major issue to change the way engineers design and construct buildings to ensure our personal health along with the health of the planet. Today on The Urban Monk Pedram Shojai welcomes a man who is at the forefront of this issue in California. Chris Jafarieh heads up the Green Diamond division of the Blaqk Diamond Group and he'll give us an insight into how traditionally constructed buildings are impacting us and the planet. Can only new buildings be completely sustainable? Is it possible to retrofit old buildings? How much would that cost and is it worth it? What is a green, sustainable building anyways? And what does the future hold for sustainable buildings?

|My Mother & Me – January 2014
On chilly mornings my mother made me eat a bowl of oatmeal before school. "It's good for you," she said. As I grew older, my mother shared many things that were good for me including her beauty secrets and skincare routine. They were simple really, as basic and natural as oatmeal.
My mother is 68 and when people meet her, they always comment on her youthful appearance. Her skin is smooth, clear and translucent.
My mother has spent the majority of her life taking care of others – me and my siblings, my dad and for the last 15 years she's cared for her parents. In my grandmother's final years, my mother walked to and from the nursing home every day. She fed her, bathed her and moisturized her skin. When my grandmother died, everyone talked about how good she looked – how her skin looked beautiful. Now my grandfather is in the same nursing home. My mother visits him almost daily. But no matter how many people my mother is responsible for, her skin is never neglected.
My mother's beauty secret is all about skincare. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup. And as I started wearing makeup, she always reminded me that makeup was useless if I didn't take care of my skin. She stressed the importance of washing my face twice a day and taking off my makeup at the end of the day. And always moisturize after showering. Healthy skin, is clean and moisturized skin.
I remember her taking a handful of oats (from the same container she made our morning oatmeal) and mix it warm water. She'd apply it to her face like a facial cleanser. I used to think it was kind of gross.
I turned 39 in September and taking care of my skin is more important than ever. These days, my daily skincare routine is a reminder of my childhood and my mother. Using AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Lotion and AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Body Wash, is the perfect combination for my lifestyle. Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Body Wash and Lotion contain oatmeal to relieve dry skin and replenish skin's natural moisture.
I absolutely love the Body Wash, the fragrance is light and feels luxurious at the end of a long day. I also like that I can use it as a shaving lotion – it makes my legs feel silky smooth. After my showering, I apply the Moisturizing Lotion. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave me feeling greasy. It's long lasting so it keeps my skin moisturized the entire day. I also use the Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF – it's ideal for the warmer months when my skin is exposed.
And recently I started following my mother's evening routine of her oatmeal facial wash. It's pretty amazing.
I may not eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning but oats are part of my daily skincare routine. And it's good for me.

Dimple Kapadia's nephew Karan's Bollywood debut just got interesting with the entry of Sunny Deol - the 61-year-old actor and Dimple Kapadia have often featured headlines for a rumoured affair. The Ghayal star has joined the star cast of Karan's film, producer Tony D'Souza told Mumbai Mirror.
The producer also added that Sunny Deol's role will take him back to his action hero days. "It's very different from his current lot of films, including Poster Boys and Yamla Pagla Deewana 3 and takes him back to the action genre," he told Mumbai Mirror. Karan's Bollywood debut will be directed by Behzad Khambata (assistant director for OMG! Oh My God and Boss). Sunny Deol will start filming next month while Tony wants to wrap the entire shoot by April-end.
Well, rumor has it that Dimple might just make a cameo appearance in the film and if that happens it will be after 28 years that Sunny and Dimple will be sharing screen space.
A few months ago a video of Sunny and Dimple holding hands on a secret foreign vacation went viral on social media, reigniting rumors of their age-old romance.
The two actors have worked together in films like Aag Ka Gola, Narasimha, and Arjun.
Akshay Kumar is also rumored to make an appearance in Karan's first film.

Coyote Star Basket by Elsie Holiday (#461)
19 3/4"
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every purchase.
Elsie Holiday has taken a small aspect of a major Navajo cultural story and woven an amazing basket around it. Elsie loves Navajo culture. Her father Robert June Blackhorse was a Medicine Man and made certain that Elsie knew the myth and legend. In the Placing the Stars story, first man and coyote were responsible for placing the constellations and Milky Way in the night sky. It is said that coyote chose one piece of rock star mica for himself and placed it in the heavens. Elsie's basket represents the spectacular beauty of that particular star.
About the artist:
Considered one of the best Navajo basket weavers, Elsie Stone Holiday married into the famed Douglas Mesa family of weavers. Weaving baskets has become almost an addiction for her. "When I go two or three days without weaving I get anxious to get started again," she says. She weaves 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. "Sometimes I think, 'How long can this last?'", she wistfully states, but for now she is content with her art, finding immense satisfaction in creating premier quality baskets.See full biography | See all items by Elsie Holiday

The division of the year into twelve months may also have been superimposed on traditional Navajo concepts. This may be why only some of the months have specific constellations associated with them. Four of the months were said to have feather headdresses? More about this legend
Navajo Basketry
Basketry is a woman's industry, which is also pursued by the nadle (he changes), hermaphrodites, or men skilled in the arts and industries of both men and women. Basketry, however, is not classified with textile fabrics (yistl'o), but with sewing (nalkhad). It is of interest also that, while the basket is in progress, the sewer is untouched and avoided by the members of her family?More about this legend

Happy New Year! I've taken time off from blogging, social media, and sewing for the last month, so I could enjoy the holidays with family, relax and focus on my goals, and take a fun trip with my husband. I'm happy to be back to my sewing room, though!
I wanted to share a few pictures from my trip to New York — and then I'll be back to my usual program of quilting! My husband and I gave each other the gift of travel for Christmas. My best friend from high school was getting married in New York and we decided to make it a fun long weekend. We've both been to New York before, so we skipped some of the more touristy spots and crossed some more artsy things off our bucket list. We started by seeing a comedy show at the Ed Sullivan Theater — it was very cool to see Stephen Colbert's set.
Then we headed to the MOMA. I was in awe by seeing some of my favorite pieces in person. Highlights included Rothko, Pollack, Picasso, Van Gogh, and my personal favorite — Monet!
Day 2 brought a very chilly trip to Central Park. My husband and I are huge Beatles fans, so it was nice to see Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon Memorial, and The Dakota. We warmed up with some pizza at a cute Italian place nearby.
The next day, we took the art tour of Rockefeller Center. It was so fun to hear the history of this family and the thoughtful architecture and art that went into all of the buildings.
And later that night, we watched my friend get married overlooking the water and seeing the lunar eclipse. (It was impossible to get great pictures, but it was truly amazing to see the moon over the New York skyline!)
On our last day, we spent hours in silence at the 9/11 Museum. It's one of the most poignant and thoughtful museums I've ever been to, and was really meaningful seeing people from all over the world remembering these events.
We had a blast and can't wait to go back — maybe when it's a little warmer next time!
Thanks for joining me for "happy hour,"

MANCHESTER City are set to raid the Saints for a promising young defender, according to a report.
The Blues are reportedly poised to snap up England under-19 defender Matthew Mills from Southampton, based on the recommendation of City's former Saints coach Steve Wigley, claim the News of the World.
The right-footed centre-half, who has yet to establish himself in the first team at St Mary's, has rejected a new deal at the south coast side, but City would still be liable to pay compensation in the region of £250,000.

Sex trafficking ring's 'Dragon Lady' ordered held with no bond
DETROIT — The Detroit Free Press reports in its online edition this morning that a 40-year-old motel manager from Macomb Township was ordered to be held without bond on sex trafficking charges during a federal court hearing Monday.
She was arrested on Jan. 12 during one of the largest sex trafficking raids in Detroit history, and the Free Press story began by saying: "The sex slaves called her "The Dragon Lady" of Victory Inn, a violent, gun-toting motel manager who federal prosecutors say helped run a drug and sex-trafficking ring."
"She was essentially responsible for managing the human misery that went on at the Victory Inn," Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Jawad told U.S. Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub, according to the Free Press story. Accusations from federal prosecutors against the Victory Inn's motel manager, Janette Tawfik, emerged Monday for the first time during a dramatic federal court hearing that featured surveillance video of life inside Detroit's Victory Inn where prostitutes, cocaine and heroin were sold with help from Tawfik's motel staff, according to prosecutors.
Tawfik faces up to life in prison if convicted of sex trafficking charges. She also faces drug charges after being indicted five days earlier with five others on drug conspiracy charges. Federal agents say the raid came after an investigation uncovered a "sophisticated criminal organization with a hierarchy, lookouts and a body count." They say the drug and sex-trafficking operation at the 42-room hotel left only two rooms available for legitimate customers.
Tawfik is accused of using a gun to keep prostitutes at the motel to service customers. The raid allowed federal agents to rescue 14 women who were being forced to work there as prostitutes. It was revealed in asking Monday for no bond Monday that agents had obtained statements against ring members by sex trafficking victims and that the conspiracy by the ring had led to "many deaths."
Federal prosecutors have also alleged that motel manager Tawfik was romantically involved with convicted murderer and alleged drug deal Darrick "Tone" Bell. The 48-year-old Bell is accused of running the sex-trafficking ring at the motel and federal agents are still looking for Bell and one other man who was indicted in the case — Harold Nero.
Tawfik has hired prominent Detroit area attorney Michael Friedman who said in court Monday that his client carried a properly registered gun because the motel is in a dangerous location along Michigan Avenue near the Dearborn-Detroit border. Friedman said his client was a $500 per week room clerk employee and he denied she was romantically involved with Bell. Friedman added that statements from drug-addicted prostitutes are not credible enough to convict Tawfik of any crime.

text: Aggregate for central lubrication with grease and oil is used in two-line system. It is designed to work in the harshest conditions such as on the excavator surface mines, steel mills, cement plants etc. The tank can be set up with the level measurer with maximum and minimum levels of lubricants which can be used for automatic completion. Ultrasonic level measurer measures three levels of lubricant in the tank and its scope is made according to customer's needs. There are three possible sizes of tank- 50, 80 and 100 dm3. We recommend that you do the amendments using a supplement pump because of the purity of the lubricant and prevention from trapping air in the lubricant. Pump is piston and it works in three ways of flow and the operating pressure. Pressure gauge and safety valve prevent its overload. Lubricant is filtered and pumped into the hydraulic manifold grease. Hydraulic manifold is a managing control device. When the pressure in the main water reaches a preset value (50 - 300 bar), the system will automatically switch trunk lines and the micro switch will signal that the lubrication cycle is completed. After you turn on the pump, manifold will automatically charge the second highway lubrication with the lubricant and the cycle repeats. In this way it is possible to very easily manage the operations of the entire lubrication system.

It is quite evident that the women presidency fever has emerged and now has a tight grip over the political scene in South Africa, and one can also observe that majority of the ANC's structures are also heeding to the call. It wouldn't be that farfetched to say that one can hear a mumble between certain individuals in Swapo, and certain publications trying to develop the exact narrative. However within Swapo, the culture of silence and fear for prejudice holds back the views of those that believe in the cause.
One needs to understand that within many political organizations, women had to fight tooth and nail against the male dominated structures enable to break ranks. Namibia has seen the rise of women in key positions and leaders of government business. It is also observable that Namibia possesses a caliber of women that can lead the country; however the sphere of full bright politics always taken its toll. In the Namibian context, an error made by the establishment was to hire somewhat capable executives to take up presidential advisory roles; the thought was admirable however these executives do not possess the skills to deal with full bright politics. We can define full bright politics, as the process where different political elements such as factionalism, contemporary issues and certain acts determine the political landscape. Why is this analogy important? It plays into the notion that one can't simply, but must look for individuals that pass through the eye of the needle criteria.
The Narrative
The existing narrative is that women must come and fix what men have broken. In times of need many look to women leaders to come in as unifying candidates to come and unite the political organization and the country. a reality that we must accept in the Namibian context is that the country is divided on whether President Dr.Hage Geingob is delivering and whether he should get a second term, this scenario is accommodating the call for a woman to take over the reins at next congress. The Swapo party women's league has also made it clear that they will back any female candidate for presidency; this notion by the women's league is highly flawed. It might come to the point where any female candidate avails herself; however that candidate might not be well placed for presidency. The women's league needs to focus on ensuring that the crème de la crème of available women leaders get into positions. The women's league might justify their position by playing the "Women have been marginalized" card. We recognize that women have had their disadvantage share of oppression and unfair inclusion. However this argument still doesn't justify the need for "any" kind of female leadership. Those that back the narrative of women's leadership, make it difficult for themselves as they complicate the process of sensitizing the masses.
In RSA, it is easy for one to support Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in her verge to cling the hot seat, because she speaks out on issues, she let's known her belief and perspective on many contemporary political issues. One might not always agree with her views, but the fact that she allows one the opportunity to analyze it plays in her favor. On the other hand in Namibia, it becomes very difficult for one to rely on existing women leaders in the establishment, as they are rather num on issues that require their perspective.
It is easy for one to say that they are maneuvering strategically, however the political dynamics have changed as more conscientious and academically oriented youth challenge the establishment. The harm of this perceived "maneuvering strategically" is that only when it is time to tally up to the masses, is when we get to hear the views of these leaders, furthermore one can also analyze that one can't then take them seriously because at this stage their views are very much systematic and agenda driven.
Mitigating the political sphere
Women leaders in Namibia and around the world owe it to themselves to remain defiant and resist being used in the name of "it is time for female presidency'. For us as Namibians to start taking grip of the possibility of Women Presidency, we need start hearing independent views and perspectives of women leaders in and out of the establishment; it sets the platform for much needed growth of women within the country. When one observes at how revolutionaries embark on change and sensitization, the simple answer is that they let their perspective be known, an engage all forms of criticism on it. Independent perspective development allows one the opportunity to be critical on an intellectual level, and it gives the gallant masses the platform to engage purposefully, this is the kind of growth that the women presidency narrative needs.
It would be easy for die-hard feminists and Feminist radical sympathizers to allude that this opinion piece diminishes the image of women and further intelligently marginalizes them, however from an intellect perspective, this opinion piece looks at factors that influence and hamper the growth of women leadership, and how women can spearhead their own growth in a just and independent manner.

Is your platform ready for the next generation of connected devices? Your audience will not wait.
Where do we go from here? We've bounced in relatively short order from desktop browser to mobile device, long form to social media, voice activation to Alexa. Each leap asks questions the traditional CMS struggles to answer.
Edit is different. We won't lazily claim to future proof for every scenario, but our technology is headless and commits unbendingly to API-first principles or what we like to call 'content as a service' – that we store your content in a format ready to suit almost any application you may wish to connect it to.
This means text is raw and images, for example, will adapt automatically to the smallest of devices (or connections), and will recrop dynamically without ever losing sight of the focal point. We also manipulate video and audio to similar effect.
Page designs can be optimised for new devices without fear the content cannot keep up – any adjustment made by engineers is done safe in the knowledge editors won't have to trawl through archives checking content for style.
Our interfaces and content structures are flexible too. Even if, for example, the article format you've chosen to best suit the 78% of users that browse your content on mobile doesn't translate well to a smart watch, you can adjust Edit to support a new cut of the editorial designed to suit.
The Edit Solutions team frequently run R&D/New Product Development programmes testing new approaches to content management (indeed this is how the Edge Network was born). If you'd like to partner on a new initiative, get in touch.

Easy lifter
VSL heavy lifting manager ? ME David Gratteau tells us how the company positioned a 280-ton steel truss 51 metres above ground in one smooth operation to form part of U-Bora Towers
Located in Business Bay, Dubai, U-Bora Towers comprises a 56-storey office tower and a curved residential building, rising from 12 storeys at the tower end to 16 storeys at the western end.
It is being developed by Korean company Bando, alongside Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), architecture firm Aedas and property services company Asteco.
Last month, VSL lifted a 280-ton pre-fabricated, reinforced steel truss comprising beams and pipe bracings into place to form a cut-out square archway in the residence building. VSL heavy lifting manager — Middle East David Gratteau tells us how they did it:
"The conventional method would be to use a crane; build a temporary platform and progressively and slowly assemble the steel members until the completion of the truss. However, there are various problems with this method.
Building a temporary platform at height is not easy, it takes time to install and can be costly. Furthermore, the weight of the steel is around 280 tons and the podium below limits the crane access. "Instead, we used the strand jacking method to lift the steel extrusion. This method allows the load to be picked up at each connection point. The complete truss can be assembled at ground level and the VSL lifting jacks, situated one floor above the final level of the truss (in this case, 55 metres up) lift and place the load in one single operation.
"The truss was not bolted to the side buildings, but was sitting on corbels. We lifted the truss with a side offset of 1.8 metres until the final level (plus 10cm), then with push-pull jacks, we slid the lifting strand jacks and truss horizontally by 1.8 metres and then lowered the load onto its definitive supports, progressively transferring it to the permanent structure.
"Heavy lifting is a cost-effective solution and works out cheaper than other conventional methods.
"Assembly at ground level is quicker than at height and results in a higher quality of construction. This cuts the cost of staffing and reduces rental periods for equipment, such as propping and scaffolding. Furthermore, smaller machines and cranes are required."

The contrary of top tech is high-tech , talking to easy, frequently mechanical or traditional technological innovation; as an instance, a slip principle can be an semi automatic computing apparatus.
The term had been utilized at a 1958 " The New York situations narrative advocating"nuclear vitality " to Europe:"… Western Europe, having its compact population and also its own particular high-tech…" Robert Metz utilised the expression at a economic pillar in 1969:"Arthur H.

It's dependant upon the degree of improvement and exploration tasks utilised inside of just OECD states in those businesses, leading in several different classes.
Start-ups taking care of high-tech (or growing brand fresh high-tech ) can be thought of as profound tech.

Uniqlo launches a capsule tribute to the Japanese Ukiyo-e art
The Great Wave off Kanagawa and many other masterpiece protagonist of the new UT collection
Two Japanese symbols meet in the name of fashion. The retailer Uniqlo chooses to pay homage to the artistic movement Ukiyo-e, famous for printing with wooden matrices, with a new capsule collection of t-shirts, available for men and women for €14.90. What makes each item special are some of the most evocative works by Utagawa Kunimasa, Tōshūsai Sharaku and the famous Big Wave by Katsushika Hokusai. Their art, which flourished between the seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries around the city of Edo (which later became Tokyo), is an invitation to float, remove the melancholy of reality and pain and get lost in pleasure, beauty. Utamaro, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi and others tell of a world made up of distant landscapes, female faces and kabuki actors, figures from a faraway Japan that still conquer us all today.
The new Uniqlo collection is the result of a partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston that began in 2017, will last for 10 years and will include, in addition to 'Ukiyo-e, various artists and movements becoming an part of the retailer's proposals. Among those that will be launched in the coming weeks, are interesting capsules tribute to Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, part of the UT Collection of graphic tees. Who knows if these new items will still be available when Uniqlo opens its store in Milan on September 13...
Here below there are some of the Ukiyo-e works that became prints for Uniqlo's new collection.

Ag Notebook for Aug. 26
August 26, 2012
So. Colo. farm leases could dry up next year … Storage levels for Pueblo have hit a seven-year low, raising doubts about the ability of the Pueblo Board of Water Works to market water next year.
"We're still in good shape in terms of having a reserve, but we'll probably have to throttle back one-time leases next year," said Alan Ward, water resources manager for the water board. "We may lease very little water or none at all on the spot market next year."
According to The Pueblo Chieftain, the water board leases have been an important source of water for farmers on the Bessemer Ditch and for well augmentation groups this year. This year the water board was able to lease 14,000 acre-feet — the equivalent of half the metered water supply for Pueblo.
The situation shouldn't affect the board's long-term leases to Aurora, Xcel's Comanche power plant and other businesses.
USDA eyes whether tainted beef entered food supply … Federal regulators who shut down a central California slaughterhouse after receiving an animal welfare video were investigating Tuesday whether beef from sick cows reached the human food supply.
According to The Associated Press, the video appears to show workers bungling the slaughter of cows struggling to walk and even stand. Under federal regulations, sick animals cannot be slaughtered for human consumption.

The investigation will determine whether sick cows were slaughtered and whether meat products from the company should be recalled, a spokesman for the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service said.
The agency suspended operations Monday at Central Valley Meat Co. in Hanford after receiving the video Friday from the animal welfare group Compassion Over Killing. The footage shows animals bleeding and thrashing after being repeatedly shot in the head with a pneumatic gun in unsuccessful efforts to render them unconscious for slaughter.
Federal regulations say to avoid unnecessary suffering during slaughter, animals must be rendered unconscious by a single shot to the head from a pneumatic gun that fires a bolt through the skull to pierce the brain.
The USDA said late Tuesday it found evidence of inhumane practices on the video, but the footage did not indicate beef from sick cattle got into the food system. However, the investigation is continuing.
Self-restraint plan is working for Rio Grande irrigators … Self-restraint can avoid "Draconian" rules like those in the South Platte and Arkansas River basins, water managers told lawmakers Tuesday.
"This is the first time where people who own wells set about to limit pumping in order to counteract the effects of pumping on surface water," David Robbins, attorney for the Rio Grande Conservation District told the state Legislature's Water Resources Review Committee.
According to The Pueblo Chieftain, a subdistrict north of Monte Vista that encompasses 180,000 of the 600,000 irrigated acres in the Rio Grande basin is in its first year of operation. It collects assessments to purchase or lease water and to pay farmers to take land out of production.
The goal is to balance agricultural revenues, but maintain the aquifer farmers depend on, said Steve Vandiver, manager of the Rio Grande district.
Bill extends overtime pay protections to California farmworkers … California farmworkers would receive the same overtime pay benefits enjoyed by workers in other industries under a measure approved by the state Senate on Monday and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the bill would accord farm laborers overtime for working more than eight hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week. Under existing law, they receive overtime only if they work more than 10 hours in a day or 60 hours in a week.
"This measure provides the same protections for farmworkers that other employees have long been entitled to," said Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, who spoke in favor of the bill as senators debated it.
The United Farm Workers union requested the legislation, by Assemblyman Michael Allen, D-Santa Rosa.
Republicans objected to the measure, saying it could hurt workers rather than help them, for example, if farm owners decided to add an extra shift of workers or use mechanical harvesting devices rather than pay more overtime.
Food giant to eliminate meat from pigs bred using gestation crates … Philadelphia-based food-service giant Aramark said Tuesday it would eliminate the use of all pork from animals bred using gestation crates in its U.S. supply chain by 2017.
According to The Philadelphia Enquirer, in announcing the plan with the Humane Society of the United States, Aramark joined dozens of other food-service companies, restaurant chains and supermarkets that have pledged to end their reliance on suppliers who house breeding pigs in confining crates their whole lives.
"Aramark is proud to stand in partnership with other industry leaders and supply-chain partners to transition away from gestation crates in a timely fashion," said Kathy Cacciola, Aramark's senior director of environmental sustainability. "We're committed to operating responsibly and addressing key issues, including animal welfare, throughout our supply chain and business, and this commitment helps move the entire industry toward the elimination of gestation crates."
To meet this goal, Aramark has asked its primary pork suppliers to develop plans for reducing, and then eliminating, gestation crates. It will require new suppliers signing contracts for pork to provide a plan that addresses how they will phase out gestation creates to meet these important goals, the company said in a statement.
Farmers still rebounding from effects of Hurricane Irene … A year after Hurricane Irene swept away topsoil and crops and replaced them with rocks and contaminants, farmers from North Carolina to Vermont are rebounding but still grappling with the aftermath — on top of an early spring followed by cold snaps, a dry summer and an anticipated spike in feed costs caused by the Midwestern drought.
According to The Associated Press, the U.S. Department of Agriculture paid farmers $78.6 million for insurance claims covering about 225,000 acres of Irene-damaged farmland in nine Northeastern states through its Risk Management Agency. Not all farmers buy crop insurance, so the figure isn't a complete measure of the devastation.
More than half the damaged land was in New York, where two crop-growing regions — the Hudson and Schoharie valleys — were hit especially hard. Irene's raging waters rearranged the landscape, onto farm fields in many places, and floodwaters carrying spilled fuel and refuse eventually settled into the ground.
The floodwaters last Aug. 28 swept away 128 bales of dairy farmer Doug Turner's hay to feed his 45 cows in Waitsfield and contaminated a third of his corn crop. He had to mow it down after it turned brown and moldy, then buy hay, and is still catching up from the feed loss.
SW Ind. farm source of some contaminated melons … Health officials say a farm in southwestern Indiana was the source of at least some of the salmonella-contaminated cantaloupe that has made at least 178 people in 21 states ill, but they are still trying to determine whether there are other sources.
According to The Associated Press, federal and state officials disagree whether it is safe to eat melons from the region. The Food and Drug Administration says consumers should discard any cantaloupes grown there bought on or after July 7 because they are still investigating other possible sources of the outbreak.
Amy Reel, Indiana Department of Health spokeswoman, says the state is recommending cantaloupes from Chamberlain Farms in Owensville be discarded, but melons from other farms are safe to eat as long as they are washed well and people use clean knives and cutting boards.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Wednesday identified Chamberlain Farms as a source of the outbreak, which has led to 62 hospitalizations and two deaths.
Shelly Burgess, an FDA spokeswoman, said Thursday the investigation is still in its early stages and that it is too early to say whether all the contaminated fruit could be traced back to the farm.
Tim Chamberlain, who runs the 100-acre Chamberlain Farms, said it stopped producing and distributing cantaloupe on Aug. 16, when the FDA alerted him that the fruit could be tainted.
Calif. congress members ask USDA to reopen plant … Three central California congressmen cited the region's high unemployment Thursday while asking the federal government to reopen a slaughterhouse at the center of a cruelty and food safety investigation.
According to The Associated Press, Republican lawmakers Devin Nunes, Kevin McCarthy and Jeff Denham signed a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack saying shutting the plant will do nothing to further the goal of responding to the alleged animal abuse.
The trio also asked Vilsack to intervene against "attacks that are occurring at the behest of radical groups."
The USDA says the company cannot reopen until it resolves its humane handling issues.
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture suspended operations at Central Valley Meat Co. of Hanford after an undercover video shot by the animal welfare group Compassion Over Killing showed cows that appeared to be sick or lame being beaten, kicked, shot and shocked in an attempt to get them to walk to slaughter.
