Weekend coffee share
If we were having coffee this weekend, it would be at Burgate Coffee house in Canterbury. I ordered a single shot flat white with almond milk, which made you laugh. I can't handle more than a single shot of coffee ... about once a week. I'm way to sensitive to the caffeine. As for the… Continue reading Weekend coffee share
Pugs in Green Park #weekendcoffeeshare
If we were having coffee, I'd recommend you crash a meeting of pugs in the park, like I did today. Not three, not thirty, more! I confess, I never liked pugs before, I always thought them squashed-looking. But today, I am quite converted. Big ones, little ones, fat rolly ones and skinny ones, old and… Continue reading Pugs in Green Park #weekendcoffeeshare
Finding my tribe(s)
If you and I were having coffee ... I'd tell you that I'm finding my tribes. Plural - because why limit myself to just one when there are so many amazing people in this world? With the Australian Writers Centre podcast 'So You Want To Be A Writer' by Allison Tait and Valerie Khoo - and a… Continue reading Finding my tribe(s)
If we were having coffee, I'd remind you that the coffee in London almost universally sucks compared to Sydney, and that we should be having wine instead, or that coffee after 3pm will keep me up till 3am. But you know all that, so why nag. Instead, let me sit in silence a while and… Continue reading Listening

Warner to launch Harry Potter version of Pokemon Go
Niantic Labs, the creator of free-to-download augmented reality game Pokemon Go, is to launch a new game based on Harry Potter in conjunction with Warner Bros.
The AR platform turns real-world streets, neighbourhoods and cities into a "global game board", and is able to bring players together in a shared digital reality. The new game, "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite", will enable players to learn spells, to explore their real world locations to discover and fight "legendary beasts", and to team up with other players to "take down powerful enemies".
Niantic's "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" is one of a series of mobile and console game experiences planned by Warner to be released under its new label, Portkey Games.
The games will feature both new characters and and familiar characters "at different points in their lives" from the Harry Potter stories.
David Haddad, president of Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, said: "With Portkey Games, we are thrilled to answer the fans' requests for more games inspired by J K Rowling's Wizarding World. We are working with talented creators to build games that focus on player-generated stories, which will live alongside the magical universe created by J K Rowling."
No release date has yet been given for the new game.

Eglantine was delightful! She showed us so many interesting areas of Paris that we would not have discovered. However, the description of the tour on Peek was misleading, as it sounded like would be stopping in some of the clubs to get the flavor of the jazz scene. Still, we all enjoyed it and highly recommend it!
Jun 8, 2014
Eglantine ( I hope I spelt that correctly) was a delightful guide, we saw so much more than we were expecting and her information was always entertaining and educational. This was a very enjoyable time during our stay in Paris, and we realise now we should have booked more tours with this tour company. The group was small, so we felt comfortable asking questions and could hear Eglantine really clearly....not the case when you are in big groups with other tour companies..... We highly recommend this tour.

Microelements complex structural requirements at wide material selection
Special applications such as medical technology or precision engineering often need components with filigree microstructures. While the watch industry uses micro gearwheels made of steel or brass, the medical technology requires certified materials like inert ceramics, components with microdrillings, microchannels and functional surfaces. The high structure resolution and the large spectrum of workable materials of laser processing with USP lasers allow to produce microelements with complex structural requirements.
Increased component flexibility
Demonstration part
Microstructured gearwheel
The combination of different laser processes can achieve the production of microelements. Spiral cutting allows precise cuts at high edge quality with material thicknesses of 0.8 mm in metals and 0.6 mm in ceramics. This process is suitable for the production of micro gearwheels or the cutting of a component contour out of the raw material. Precise microdrillings can be achieved by a spiral drilling process or by percussion drilling. Laser removal processes can be used to produce microchannels for the guiding of fluids, electrical contacs or additional microelements.
Our offers in the sector of microelements
Pulsar Photonics covers the sectors of laser processing, laser cutting, laser drilling and laser structuring.

So Friday was a little bit of a terrible, horrible no-good very-bad day, that started off with plumbing issues and a busted computer. Niles was packing to go see his family for the weekend, so I told him I'd take care of of cleaning it up. While he was out getting me paper towels he picked me up some shrimp, because he knows me and also because he is awesome. Crustaceans will go a long way towards cheering me up on a bad day.

Sometimes we have to break out to see,
Sometimes the painful path sets us free.
Sometimes the blows that make us bend,
Lead us to a happy end.
Sometimes the girl who is lost and scared,
Needs to be broken to be repaired.
Sometimes the Master sends sharp light,
To break us free and set things right.
Sometimes the chance to construct your place,
Is a refining path of trials and grace.
Sometimes the answer is a mouth full of dirt,
To taste the sweet you have to hurt.
Sometimes eternity holds your everything,
Because you felt a bitter sting.
Sometimes beauty and pain intertwine,
Sometimes you are shattered before you shine.

I feel a tender connection to Saul, Alma, Alma the younger and Almulek. The story of turning to Christ after wandering far from him is mine. I am so grateful for the examples of these great and noble disciples of God. I see the power of the atonment in each of their stories and it fills me with joy! I wanted to include a small portion of Saul's story today. His is a story of sharp light bringing a beautiful transformation. I rejoice in the King of Kings who makes every sacred transformation possible!
Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 ¶ And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
True Love
The friend that had the courage to help me awake,
Also had the courage to point out my mistake.
The friend that helped me transform dark to light,
Added strength to me as I stood forth to fight.
The friend who brought tuff love was my needed blow,
He struck at me heart and helped heal my soul.
The friend who cared enough to tear down my wall,
Was the friend who helped me learn to stand tall.
The friend that I kept by being meek in heart,
Is now the path on which I start.
Sometimes we face a fork in the road,
Where we can put down sins heavy load.
Not easy or quick, but a journey divine,
God sends us a friend who will help us shine.
His grace is sent out with care to all,
But you have to hearken and heed His call.
In the love of a new friend who is willing to try,
You can gain the courage to break from a lie.
True love can change eternity,
It can bring new life and set you free!
Written by Michelene Glasson
We each have a choice when God reaches out. We can humble ourselves and turn from sin or we can walk away. He sends friends to help guide us back to Him but respects our agency. He will not force us to joy. We have to chose to repent and follow Him. The song below, How To Save A Life makes me think of the Nephi and his brothers. He was, "grieved for the hardness of their hearts." He reached out to his brothers time after time trying to save them from spiritual death. But his noble and loving example was rejected and finally he was warned by the Lord to, "depart from them and flee into the wilderness." His brothers wanted to kill him. The friend that was reaching out with love and light was the gift they refused. I think of the Savior when I picture Nephi's heavy steps as he walked away from part of his family. I can hear Christ's sad lament, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!"
When Aaron testified of Jesus Christ and taught the plan of salvation, to Lamoni's father he was touched deeply and responded with these beautiful words, "O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me and I will give away all my sins to know thee, and that I may be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day." May each of us echo his faithful and meek response. It is our willingness to let go of the world and cleave unto God that enables the transormation of going from dark to light. I rejoice in the Savior of the world who atoned for my sins and enabled me to be transformed. I rejoice in the beauty of all I see as I walk in the light of His matchless love!
Spinning with Joy
Someone once asked me, why do you spin?
Why do you wear such a bright happy grin?
I answered quickly, it is my Savior in me,
I spin and I smile because I am free.
Once heavy cords held me down,
But now I rejoice as I seek for my crown.
My soul feels the miracle of hope you see,
That's why there is spinning and smiles in me.
The truth of Jehovah is written within,
I rejoice in the One who freed me from sin.
I celebrate the miracle of my spiritual rebirth,
I can't help but spin when I think of my worth.
I stretched my hand out and smiled with care,
Come now my friend and together well share.
I pulled out my scriptures and we began to read,
The story given by Alma about God's seed.
We finished and I looked my new friend in the eye,
You see it's the seed, I gave heaven a try.
Nourishing the goodness of all I found,
I ended up smiling and spinning around!
Joy is the beauty of following my Lord,
I feel peace and hope as I live by His word.
The path of my covenants is bright, fun and clear,
I move along it spinning and smiling with cheer.
We all have a choice this much I know,
You have to be good if you want to grow.
Take now your seed and nourish it with care,
For God has so much He is eager to share.
I promise with effort you will come to see,
The sweet fruit of spinning you've witnessed in me.
My new friend departed my Book of Mormon in hand,
And I spun one more time, feeling life was quite grand!
Written by Michelene Glasson
My Sisters
A shout out for the girls and women of light,
A shout out to the daughters that do what's right!
My hat off for the women who sacrifice each day,
My thanks to every sister who lifts along the way.
My smile for the daughters who follow their dear King,
My sisters I am amazed by the joy you bring.
I see the Savior's light in you,
The world is brightened by all you do!
Written by Michelene Glasson
My Heart
At the heart of every action is my reason why,
The love I feel moves me to try.
At the heart of all I hold safe inside,
Is the answer of why I will abide.
The storm fierce the battle near,
At the heart of my soul I feel God here.
One name answers every hit I take,
My heart His love, I will not break.
My Master calls me to victory,
I carry safe His name in me.
The darts as fire are extinguished and fall,
Every time I answer the Master's call.
Written by Michelene Glasson
As an Eagle
Taking flight as an eagle I soar,
Feeling hope I move toward more.
The wind and rain cannot still my flight,
My wings your grace I move toward light.
You renew me and I fly with love,
I feel you here in the heavens above.
My view the beauty of mercy divine,
Great Jehovah with joy I call you mine!
The sun upon me, your warmth to heal,
Your strength and beauty is sacred and real.
As an eagle I soar to all I can be,
My God, my Redeemer you live in me!
Written by Michelene Glasson
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed "Dumplin'" by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked... until Will takes a job at Harpy's, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn't surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back. Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant - along with several other unlikely candidates - to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she'll shock the hell out of Clover City - and maybe herself most of all.
Dumplin' is an upcoming American musical comedy film directed by Anne Fletcher. It is based on the young adult novel of the same name by Julie Murphy. The film stars Jennifer Aniston and Danielle Macdonald. It will be released on the streaming network Netflix on December 7, 2018.
These fictional titles involve teenaged girls who stand up to self-image and the "norms" of society.
When Ann decides that she is going to lose 45 pounds in time for her aunt's wedding, she discovers that what she looks like is not all that matters.
Feeling like she does not fit in with the other members of her family, who are all thin, brilliant, and good-looking, fifteen-year-old Virginia tries to deal with her self-image, her first physical relationship, and her disillusionment with some of the people closest to her.
Fifteen-year-old Shay is trying to cope with being overweight and getting bullied in school, but when she falls in love with mysterious Blake, insecure Shay needs the help of her two best friends to make love prevail.
Millie Michalchuk has gone to fat camp every year since she was a little girl. Not this year. This year she has new plans to chase her secret dream of being a newscaster - and to kiss the boy she's crushing on. Callie Reyes is the pretty girl who is next in line for dance team captain and has the popular boyfriend. But when it comes to other girls, she's more frenemy than friend. When circumstances bring the girls together over the course of a semester, they surprise everyone (especially themselves) by realizing that they might have more in common than they ever imagined.
As New York City teenager Virginia learns to accept her plus-size body and struggles to cope with her brother's suspension from college for date rape, she finds herself losing interest in boyfriend Froggy and growing closer to new boy Sebastian until a terrible secret threatens everything.

The only thing that makes a fancy hotel stay better is fine, fine food. You could be settling in for a lifetime's worth of both, and at a fraction of the price. But before we get to that, here's our (definitely not exhaustive) "fave five" list of swanky Marriott and Marriott-affiliated hotels around the world that promise to majorly pamper you and your stomach:
1. The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
Japan's always a favourite when it comes to foodie destinations. The next time we're there, we'll be sure to Shinkansen over to Kyoto and check in at the five-star Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, which promises stunning views of the Kamo River and Higashiyama Mountains. Once we're done wandering around Kyoto's Shinto shrines, we'll sit down for a meal at The Ritz's one-Michelin-starred Mizuki, where fresh, seasonal delicacies are skilfully fried in safflower oil. We're already drooling thinking about the Omi beef fillet rolled with Japanese basil and the feather-light egg-yolk tempura.

2. JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa
If you have time for a longer-haul hop, it's safe to say you won't be disappointed with the scenery, climate and cuisine of Italy. While Venice is a hotbed of tourist hordes (and for good reason, given its historic beauty), we'd certainly enjoy escaping the crowds at the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa, which is located on a private island. And livin' la dolce vita would not be complete without a meal at the hotel's one-Michelin-starred Dopolavoro Dining Room, where Veneto-inspired dishes are prepared with fresh produce and hand-picked herbs from the hotel's gardens.

3. Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel
Looking for a quick weekend getaway? Our pick is the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel in Singapore, which sits right in the middle of Singapore's main shopping belt, Orchard Road. In between all that shopping, be sure to give yourself a treat at the hotel's one-Michelin-starred Ginza Sushi-ichi, which serves traditional Edomae sushi using premium ingredients flown over from Tokyo's famed Tsukiji Market.
Images from: Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel and Chope Singapore
4. The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong
Hong Kong is perfectly located for easy access to China, so why not take advantage of that and check out Chinese metropolis Shanghai? We'd suggest getting a room at The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong, which boasts unbeatable views of the Bund and Oriental Pearl Tower. Complete your experience with a meal at the hotel's one-Michelin-starred Jin Xuan Chinese Restaurant, which specialises in Cantonese dishes alongside regional favourites from other provinces. Imagine indulging in the eatery's signature Peking duck with goose liver as you savour the Shanghai night view from the restaurant's 53rd-storey vantage point.
Images from: The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong, and ViaMichelin.com
5. The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
No time or patience to cross any borders? One of our top picks for a dream staycation spot has to be The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, which sits pretty nearly 500 metres above Kowloon, offering some of Hong Kong's most spectacular views. Spoil yourself (and your stomach) silly with the hotel's array of acclaimed eateries. We'd choose a dim sum lunch at two-Michelin-starred Tin Lung Heen and dinner at one-Michelin-starred Tosca, which prides itself on Italian cuisine that strikes an exquisite balance between classic and contemporary.
Images from: The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, and Chope Hong Kong
So, what's all this about a fraction of the price you mentioned above, you ask?
Meet Marriott Vacation Club, a holiday ownership programme that's been running for over 30 years (while keeping up with the times, of course). Members purchase a package of points that then renew yearly. Points can be redeemed for more than 10,000 luxury vacation options worldwide (from villas that will accommodate a whole family, to cruises and safari tours, to stays at Marriotts and affiliated hotels – The Ritz, anyone?).
Interested? Click here to get more information
If you make it down to Marriott Vacation Club's VIP preview (held at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, in fact), you could be eligible for a US$125 Marriott gift card (which could go towards a meal at one of these fancy digs) or a HK$800 Lane Crawford gift card (perfect for some holiday swag). Sign up here to get more information.

I once skipped bowing to my Guru on Guru Purnima. It is the biggest holiday (holy-day) in the yoga tradition, not only because it is the full moon dedicated to honoring the Guru but also because Grace flows most fully on Guru Purnima. I was living and serving in the Ashram, and several thousand people came to see Baba, understandably! I worked in food service, helping to feed them, so I and my fellow sevites were very busy. I bowed to Baba in my heart, skipped taking a break, and went on serving.
I went forward in the darshan (reception) line to greet Him the next night. He tapped me with the peacock feathers. I lowered my head below my heart in the classical pranam (bow). I looked up at Him as I came up and He looked at me in His usual way. It was all perfect and it was all incomplete. I knew that I had blown it. I had missed my chance. His Grace was there, certainly — but the night before would have been something else. If only I had prioritized my relationship with Him instead of the work I did for Him. Tricky!
I thought of the New Testament story of Mary and Margaret. I began to understand what it was like to be the one bathing His feet instead of the one bustling around getting things done. I'd always been the "bustler." I have bustle karma, that's for sure. It's true that things must be done. There's a lot to do in order to support those who come to the Guru, in person or through the teachings, in books, online, etc. But what does the Guru need? Nothing. That's the point. The Guru is the only not-needy person you'll probably ever meet. That's the reason to be in this relationship.
This relationship, like any relationship, needs some TLC. When you do your part, you get more out of what was always available. It's like being in relationship with the sun: when you go out to soak up some rays, you get the vitamin D. When you don't, you don't. But the sun is always there. It's always shining. It's always giving.
In India, Guru Purnima is the day when people pilgrimage to see their Guru. This is no small feat! The full moon in July is the middle of the monsoon, which makes travel precarious at best. They bring gifts and donations, usually providing enough financial support to cover the Guru's and His or Her Ashram's needs until the next Guru Purnima. Thus the Guru doesn't have to go out with a begging bowl every day, nor charge for the teachings. The tradition of providing the teachings for free comes from a land where they know that they must support the one who gives the teachings.
Buddha gave His first teachings on Guru Purnima. Veda Vyasa was born on Guru Purnima. Thus Buddhists, Hindus and yogis all celebrate this holy day every year. Personally, I used to take this time to go to India to be with my Guru, visiting His samadhi shrine, a meditation room in which His body is interred under a marble slab. Since I've been appointed to serve in this way, I stay in America for the celebration, so that I can be available to everyone who wants to come.
In India, it's hard to see the full moon on that July night due to the monsoon clouds. My experience has been that, somewhere in the night, just when I'm looking up, the clouds will part just a little so I can see the moon. It is the biggest full moon of the whole year, which is why the sages dedicated it to the Guru. It is the biggest because it is the point at which the moon is closest to the earth.
So if you cannot join me for Guru Purnima, go out and soak up some moon rays. And chant "Guru Om." At least for the evening. And meditate. What's the Guru for anyway? To help you turn inward. To help you know your own Self. That's the point.

Reader Mark says an Xbox Live Arcade glitch stole some of his bought and paid for XBLA games?:
Has anyone else had this issue?: Yesterday i turned on my 360 and and had some issues logging into live. After receiving an error message about live being temporarily down, I waited a little bit and was able to log in again. However, when i visited my arcade section, I noticed a bunch of games that i had purchased somehow reverted back to "demo" mode. WTF??!! out of thirty games i had purchased, 8 of them "magically" converted back into the free trial mode. anyone else experience this?
It looks like his games were erased and then replaced with trial versions via auto-download. Presumably, he was able to obtain the full versions again without a problem. Did anybody else see their XBLA games get Grinched??
The XBLA glitch that stole Christmas?

Golf fans say Phil Mickelson might betaking CBD oil at the Masters
Phil Mickelson, a popular golf player is lurking at the Masters nearly 49 years old, planning to become a four-time green jacket winner and the oldest major championship in the history of gold.
He frequently talks about new things to try to stay young, powerful and a step ahead in the competition. Mickelson is also seen increasing his swing speed using Super Speed Gold, chewing gum during his round and, possibly taking CBD oil as well.
On Friday, at the 2019 Masters, several fans spotted Mickelson using a pipette to put a few drops of some liquid from a bottle into his mouth. The player didn't intend to brag about his little liquid secret perhaps because it looks a little strange to the casual observer.
However, fans who themselves have tried CBD oil or have seen others using it, knew right away that the star was actually consuming CBD Oil. Mickelson does not open up about such things unless there's a financial stake in their well-being, while he hasn't openly mentioned whether he is using CBD oil or not, he refrains from spilling all his secrets.
There could be multiple reasons behind his consumption of CBD oil; it has significant health benefits, though not backed up by any formal research or international standards, users have experienced a good time with the substance.
CBD Oil and its benefits
Cannabinoid or popularly known as CBD is a liquid extracted from the flowers and the buds of marijuana, it is also found in abundance in hemp plant – a cannabis genus plant. The substance has potential health benefits such as improving sleep patterns, reduce stress, anxiety, depression and many more.
CBD has become an essential part of the recreational and medical industry, especially after the federal law in 2018 passed hemp derived cannabinoid for legal use in the United States. Currently, around 30 states have legalized CBD oil in lieu of the farm bill, while the other states have specific laws and certain regulations around the usage of CBD oil.
The Food and Drug Administration is yet to set their regulatory policies on the drug and allows it only for treating 2 rare forms of epilepsy. The agency announced a public hearing in May to discuss the regulatory issues. It prohibits CBD based edibles at this time and is digging deep in research to understand how the drug works and validating the promising claims of the substance.
The contrasting decisions made by the U.S. government and the FDA have led companies and consumers, both in confusion.Despite this and the possible consequences, many companies and retailers have started selling CBD infused edibles. They include a wide variety of products such as gummy bears, candies, popcorn, beverages, etc.
The safest bet for companies is the beauty and lifestyle domain which is introducing new CBD products quite frequently. It includes lotions, creams, capsules, oils and much more. Celebrities have also shown their inclination towards the product by taking on to their social media accounts and posting pictures of CBD infused products.
Mickelson might be consuming CBD oil for a bunch of different reasons – he suffers from arthritis- CBD can help with anxiety and is also an anti-inflammatory aid which can treat several ailments.
It is said that CBD oil isn't absorbed well by the human body when taken orally, only 20% of the drug is ingested, while the rest remains undigested. Mickelson's direct consumption might affect his progress and slow it down, CBD would be more effective when rubbed via cream.
Is CBD oil a performance enhancing drug (PED)?
According to the PGA Tour Anti-Doping Program, CBD oil is not considered as a performance enhancing drug or substance. The World Anti-Doping Agency, upon which the Tour models set its programs removed CBD oil from its banned substance list in September 2017.
The legalization of CBD has brought a revolutionary change in the market, analysts confirm that CBD is the next big things in the consumer world with a promising revenue generation of billions.

Happy Belated St. Patty's Day!
I've recently been chatting with a dear friend who lives in Ireland, and she mentioned to me that March 18th of this year was the first time she had ever heard of all of the "pinching and wearing green" malarkey that us Americans go on and on about every March 17th. I was a bit ashamed to admit that I didn't even know of the origins of the holiday as I have Irish Catholic roots; have we really translated a holiday meant to mark the arrival of Christianity in Ireland into a green beer drinking, corned-beef eating good time? We have? I mean, sign me up, but let's not forget to take a moment to bow our heads and thank Saint Patrick for finding that 4 leaf clover on March 17th.
I'm celebrating late because I have been sick the last week, and only just felt up to cooking something this morning. One of my favourite uses of Corned Beef is as a hash. If you have already cooked leftover potatoes from another dish, this is a fantastic way to utilize them. Meat and potatoes with a fried egg = a pretty delicious breakfast.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 lb. cooked corned beef
- slightly less than 1 lb. golden potatoes
- 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock
- 2 tsp dijon or whole grain mustard
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
As finely as you like it, dice the onions, potatoes, and corned beef. Mince the garlic.
Steam the potatoes (with skin on) until they are just tender, about 5-10 minutes depending on how large you diced them.
In a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the oil when the pan is hot. Add the onions and sauté until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or so.
Add the corned beef and potatoes, lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the stock, mustard, and worcestershire sauce and combine thoroughly. Drizzle this over the potatoes and corned beef, and stir to incorporate. Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium or medium-high.
Cook until the hash becomes crusty. Stir a bit, and then let it sit and develop a nice crunchy crust.
Liberally season with salt and pepper and serve with a fried or poached egg on top.

Please consider this when purchasing. If the one you want is sold out send us a quick email and we can let you know the time frame.
Designed by Camilla Vad, this pattern is worked seamlessly from the top down. It is a beautiful construction, knitted flat with a lovely lace trim around the bottom edge. We are knitting with a lighter yarn, fingering weight instead of DK weight, with the same size needles called for on the pattern to create a more light weight, year round wearable version.
Let's see how many pepole can we get knitting on the same sweater project at the same time? We are creating a virtual meeting space and are going to host an event that will occur on the dates and times listed below. Once you have registered for the event, we will give you the meeting contact and password. On the planned dates, we will all log in, and you will be able to call in on a phone if you do not have access to internet.

Register for TFK-A-Long:

85 - Balls for Rohit Sharma to complete his century, the joint third-fastest among his 24 hundreds. His fastest was off 82 balls, against England at Trent Bridge last year. He also got an 85-ball hundred against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2017. Both those innings came in chases.
136.5 - Rohit's strike rate against the fast bowlers; against the spinners, it fell slightly, to a still-impressive 110.7. Rohit was especially scathing on Hasan Ali (41 off 26 balls) and Wahab Riaz (32 off 23). Mohammad Amir bowled only eight balls to him, and conceded five. Among the spinners, Imad Wasim was the best, conceding only 20 off 24.
196 - Rohit's strike rate off back-of-a-length or short balls off Pakistan's fast bowlers - he scored 53 off 27 such balls, including six fours and two sixes. Amir escaped unscathed, however, conceding only four off seven balls of those lengths, while Wahab conceded 25 off 12, and Hasan Ali 24 off 8.
58 - Runs scored by Rohit off the pull and cut shots - he scored 30 from 14 cuts, and 28 from eight pulls. Against the pacers, he scored 21 from seven cut shots, and 20 off six pulls. Overall, his most productive scoring region was backward point, where he scored 28 of his 140 runs.
125 - Rohit's strike rate in his first 20 balls, which was surprising considering he generally gets off to measured starts. In fact, his innings progression in Manchester highlights how well he stepped up at the start of the innings, in the absence of his regular partner Shikhar Dhawan. He kept up an impressive 100-plus strike rate through each of the 20-ball intervals, except in the 41-60 ball period, when he scored 16.

"Album number 4 - it doesn't seem that long ago that myself and Adam were talking about maybe, perhaps, if you're up for it, having a go at writing a song, just for a laugh of course, can't harm can it, see what happens... 9 years in, an EP, 4 studio albums, a live album, and various other recorded odds 'n' sods and here we are, releasing the fourth of those studio albums, 'Full Nelson'.
"Signing with Earache was the absolute making of this album. After 'Welcome to the World' we were kinda homeless really. We had started writing again but had no real plan for a release; self-release maybe, talk to another label? But just at the exact right moment Earache made contact and here we are, overflowing with confidence and pride for 'Full Nelson', and still amazed we've managed to write an album of tunes, let alone 4!
"This album we feel is the Wagons fully in their stride, both musically and lyrically. It's big, bold and memorable we think, but to be honest that's not really for us to decide haha. We've definitely poured more time and hard work into this album than any before, from the artwork, the songwriting and recording, to merch and PR, this is definitely our biggest effort yet, and the one we are most pleased with.
"We'd like to thank our wonderful team at Earache Records; they have worked tirelessly on our behalf to build this album up to be as big as it can be. That can also be said of Terri at RPM. Terri and Heidi represent this band from the heart. We would not be doing this without them at all. And thanks to all the rockers and rollers across the galaxy who have already ordered the album, and those set to buy it. We ultimately do this for your entertainment. We love to entertain, to give people a chance to let go and enjoy music, and we are truly honoured and humbled that you listen. We hope you enjoy our songs and thank you for your continued support. Rock on!"

Change in Today's Economy
The best leaders know how to empower employees to effect change. No business or leader can survive very long these days without the ability to anticipate and accommodate ever-changing external and internal influences.
Common External Influences of Change
Common Internal Influences of Change
You'd think by now that leaders would have learned how to handle organizational change well. But the opposite is true. The majority of change initiatives (up to 70% by most accounts) fail.
Why Is Organizational Change So Difficult?
After nearly three decades of change management consulting, we believe that change is difficult because companies continue to neglect the human factor. Change leaders get so involved with the mechanics of change management that they overlook the fact that successful change requires a human-centric approach.
Employees at the Center of Change
A human-centric approach puts those affected by change as the driving force of change. To succeed at organizational transformation, you need stakeholder engagement, discretionary effort, wholehearted agreement, and committed willingness to go beyond the status quo.
4 Ways to Inspire and Empower Employees to Effect Change
Here is how to inspire and empower employees to effect change:
1. Establish a Meaningful Purpose
Give employees a powerful reason to support the change. They need a compelling answer to the question, "Why is change needed?" Give them an emotional connection to the change that inspires them to greater commitment and effort. How will the change make things better for employees, customers, stakeholders, and even the world in general?
2. Show That You Care
Change is disruptive and threatening to many. Be sure to act in ways that show understanding and compassion. Regularly solicit employee input on how the change is affecting both those who stay and those who leave. Do what you can to ease the transition of employees who need to find work elsewhere and support the emotional and professional needs of employees who must adapt to new roles and teams.
3. Create a Culture of Empowerment
Ensure that your workplace culture (how things get done in your organization on a day-to-day basis) is healthy and positive. Change is best effected when employees know what they are expected to do, how they are expected to behave and that they have a degree of autonomy that shows they are valued and trusted.
4. Model Strong Leadership
Leaders set the tone by articulating a vision, reinforcing strategic priorities, making sure the purpose of change is well understood, motivating employees to act in alignment with the change, and providing the necessary resources.
The Bottom Line
Keep those affected by change at the center of your change initiative. They are the ones who will provide strength and vitality to your transformation.

Il video presentato da Riccardo Benassi
Techno Casa is a performative environment that come to terms with factual reality: architecture is transformed into a system of displays / presentations and there is no longer any difference between a monitor and a room: a monitor becomes a touch screen only if in the room, human beings are roaming around, ensuring a certain degree of interactivity. Techno Casa is the sabotaging of the total PowerPointing of every discussion: suddenly rediscovering oneself to be a biped, dense subtle shades in a vacuum, complex relationships with the ethereal. Techno Casa has a sound whose sole function is to attract attention, a little like the polyphonic ring tone of a mobile phone: the melody is always identical to itself but we still cannot get used to it, or rather – like life – we feel it even when it is not there. The mobile phone has replaced design in the mediation between us and space – all the tools that we were surrounded with became invisible – the final victory of the objects is revealed in the total disappearance of each object. Thus, as this economy is basically intangible but not transparent, zero-stock to get rid of the architecture, out-sourcing to move the office into the apartment – technological colonization of the instant that goes hand in hand with the modular furniture. Vertical surfaces such as walls recognized the covenant that is provided by an electrical outlet. Techno Casa gives a sense to enclosures excluded – meat and spaces removed from the psycho-symbiosis process with digital emptiness: interfaces that crave content to make sense – and they call it love.

Rutgers University wants to be known for its high-level academics, but now, another controversy has the Central Jersey institution in the headlines — it involves students, but it's about anything but academics.
Students partied so disruptively over last weekend, police in the City of New Brunswick, which includes Rutgers, say, that they had to call in reinforcements from four other departments, including Rutgers University Police. The partying was so intense, that now, investigators are reviewing video of the makeshift event that took up a whole block, as well as roofs, and sidewalks and cars, to see if more arrests need to be made.
"If they hadn't have shown up, we'd have never gotten out of there," said James Ciampi, regarding the police presence at the party on Delafield Street. He was among the many who had attended who acknowledged that their celebration, called Delafest, got too big.
It started around noon, and brought out hundreds of people. Cops came mid-afternoon to break up the unlicensed road closure. It died down some, but then, when people started tweeting friends to "lite sh** on fire," cops came back, in riot gear, and with firefighters. They pepper-sprayed some people, and arrested three others. Sixteen more got court summonses.
According to New Brunswick Police, Jordan Zuck, 21, from Linwood, NJ was charged with aggravated assault on police, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession
of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, disorderly conduct, and riot.
Michael Simone, 20, from Whitehouse Station, NJ was charged with obstruction, failure to disperse, obstructing a roadway, disorderly conduct and underage consumption of alcohol.
Haroon Malik, 21, from Paramus, NJ was charged with obstruction, riot, obstructing a roadway, and disorderly conduct.

International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems, vol. 17, no. 8, pp.2097-2113, 2019
Abstract : The navigation function (NF) is widely used for motion planning of autonomous vehicles. Such a function is bounded, analytic, and guarantees convergence due to its Morse nature, while having a single minimum value at the target point. This results in a safe path to the target. Originally, the NF was developed for deterministic scenarios where the positions of the robot and the obstacles are known. Here we extend the concept of NF for static stochastic scenarios. We assume the robot, the obstacles and the workspace geometries are known, while their positions are random variables. We define a new Probability NF that we call PNF by introducing an additional permitted collision probability, which limits the risks (to a set value) during the robot's motion. The Minkowski sum is generalized for the geometries of the robot and the obstacles with their respective Probability Density Functions (PDF), that represent their locations' uncertainties. The probability for a collision is therefore the convolution of the robot's geometry, the obstacles' geometries and the PDFs of their locations The novelty of the proposed algorithm is in its ability to provide a converging trajectory in stochastic environment without inflating the ambient space dimension. We demonstrate our algorithm performances using a simulator, and compare its results with the conventional NF algorithm and with a version of the well known RRT* and Voronoi Uncertainty Fields methods for uncertain scenarios. Finally, we show simulation results of the PNF in disc-shaped world, as well as in star-shaped world.

Comments Posting comment... Premium member Presentation Transcript PowerPoint Presentation: Logistics and Inventory Control Software – Keeping a Business in the BlackPowerPoint Presentation: Logistics software is particularly helpful in a warehouse setting, as it allows a great deal of control over a wide variety and volume of information. Some types of this software will allow barcode scanning, automatic reports and updates, and data retrieval functions. Inventory control software can help almost any type of business do better and keep overhead down, as lost merchandise, mixed up purchases and other types of avoidable problems are where most businesses lose money in the long run. Choosing A Logistic Software And Warehouse Management Software ResellerPowerPoint Presentation: Efficiency is the name of the game with any type of business, whether it is warehousing, trucking or manufacturing. All of these types of business usually deal with a great volume of products, and it can be difficult to keep track of everything if you try to do it manually. Logistics software can allow you to follow the progress of your inventory and your company, and get mistakes taken care of or avoided . Inventory control software may be the single best key to reducing overhead costs, and in this tight economy, that could possibly mean the difference between success and failure. Whether you own a small company that drop ships or are part of a nationwide chain that manufactures parts, keeping track of inventory, data systems and the million other details involved in a business is crucial. Never overlook the power of logistics software – it can reduce a toppling pile of paperwork into neatly and logically typed data reports, and inventory control software can turn a bedlam in the warehouse to a smooth running operation. By reducing chances for mistakes and using modern innovations for a business, you are able to not only improve your business, but create happier employees as well.PowerPoint Presentation: "This means a huge increase in the investment in technology applied to logistics. Magaya is the first freight forwarding software company to move to this region and we propose to take our full array of products to all the sectors of the supply chain in this region," said Ignacio Bencomo , Latin American Business Manager for Magaya Corporation. Many US freight forwarders and NVOCCs have partners or branch offices in Brazil. Using Magaya logistics software on both sides of their operations provides real-time tracking across their supply chain, one-time data entry, and reduced communication expenses and labor costs. Magaya logistics software is the leading choice of start-up companies in the logistics industry. In addition to the New York and Brazil offices, we have offices to serve you, including the corporate headquarters in Miami, Florida and regional offices in Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles, California.PowerPoint Presentation: To manage supply chain processes, software designed specifically for wholesalers, distributors, and other logistics service providers can provide numerous benefits for managing the purchasing, ordering, sales, and shipping of inventory. The best solution includes built-in warehousing features, international shipping documentation, and online tracking, covering all the processes from seller to buyer. Supply Chain SoftwarePowerPoint Presentation: You should also look at several different types of supply chain software. Play around with it; get a feel for it. If it takes too much training for you to get used to it, chances are that the rest of your company will have just as much trouble with it, if not more. Ultimately, good logistics software should be intuitive and user-friendly, without you having to take a class just to figure out where you might find specific information in the program. It should be easy to use for the layman, and not just for those trained in the use of computer software. Of course, if you want to use your supply chain software to maximum effect, it can help to have a few training sessions with an expert who's familiar with the use of this software program. And holding these trainings is also a great way to get the rest of your staff on board with using your new logistics software. It may take a little effort in the beginning, but it'll be worth making the effort in order to save a lot of time, confusion, and trouble on the back end. Once things get running smoothly, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.PowerPoint Presentation: Get Your Software Through Online PaymentsPowerPoint Presentation: http:// magaya.com / Thanks For Watching For More Details Please Visit You do not have the permission to view this presentation.

Canberra City Farm has a 'value-add' group to turn produce from the Farm, and any other excess seasonal produce available, into preserves.
These preserves are sold at events to help fundraise and promote Canberra City Farm. At present we are running this project as a pilot with the idea that it may become a self-funding enterprise in the future and contribute to the longer-term sustainability of the Canberra City Farm.
From 8 May 2017, there has been a fully-equipped commercial kitchen available for use at the Canberra City Farm for preserving.
This for-profit enterprise provides other businesses with hired access to the commercial kitchen, the equipment and the facilities to start their own food businesses, or to assist with their current operations. It is not a charitable venture, but if you wish to start or test a food idea and don't have the funds to hire the kitchen, it will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Working bees
Working bees are held when produce is available and are a great opportunity for people to come together and share their preserving techniques. So far the preserves we have made from Canberra City Farm fruit are: fig jam, relish and buttons; plum compote, sauce and jam; and shiraz jelly. We are currently experimenting with Shiraz Vinegar.
Get involved
You can get involved in, or assist with, this group by:
• joining the Value-Added Group, which coordinates preserving activities including working bees.
• donating any of your excess produce to Canberra City Farm suitable to be turned into preserves.
• giving us any spare clean jars that we will replace with new lids and fill with preserves.
• helping out on a market or festival stall selling preserves and promoting Canberra City Farm.
• contributing your favourite preserve recipes for working bees or Canberra City Farm newsletter.
• attending a working bee to help build up our stock of preserves or learn preserving tips from other volunteers.
• buying our preserves!
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us.
