A hundred years ago the First World War came to an end . Just twenty years after that, seven months before I was born, the storm clouds were gathering from another hideous conflict. Just a few years after that, as a small boy in a basement air raid shelter in Newcastle, I heard German bombs exploding in the street outside.
The Common Market which became the EU was established, not only to facilitate trade but, vitally, to put a stop to the wars which had raged
in Europe for centuries. In this it has been brilliantly successful, a prize which relegates arguments about economics into insignificance.
At the referendum in 2016 the electorate was seriously and deliberately misled as to the effect of a leave vote. That effect is much clearer to
us now and very unappealing it looks. The Conservative and Labour parties are in total disarray on the issue. Liberal Democrats have been
united from the outset on the desirability of remaining in union with our continental friends and, bearing in mind the chaotic situation we
are now faced with, champion a Peoples Vote, a second referendum now that we all know how damaging Brexit would be.
I am not blind to the faults in the EU and a good outcome of this turbulent exercise, and bearing in mind the nationalist movements
gathering strength in various European countries, could be that the EU examines its governance to address the issues which I know trouble many people but which should not blind us to the over-riding value of the institution.

Last year Matthew Ryan's "The Little Things" rapidly became one of my favorite songs, after a free download of it from the Abercrombie & Fitch store. It remains one of my favorite songs to listen to.
If you have iTunes, try it out, and the rest of a very good album, here.

Bear brings a piece of suitable plywood into the house from the garage for the moldy floor. He draws the holes he needs to cut for the pipes and asks me to hold the plywood as he cuts the holes with the sawzall. Have you ever held something while it's being sawzalled? Let me tell you, it stinks. It felt like I was trying to hold a jackhammer by the tip. It takes about fifteen minutes to get the holes cut out and the plywood down. Bear puts the old faucet onto the pipes (minus the vanity) so he can check that there are no leaks.
boy, is there ever a leak!
Apparently while cutting the old vanity bottom away from the pipes, he knicked the cold water pipe with the sawzall. Water starts spraying all over the place, most of it landing on the freshly-dried subfloor. The plywood is wet now, too. Bear turns the water back off due to my screaming, and surveys the damage. No help for it, we will have to go back to Home Depot for some new pipes. We're tired and cranky, and I haven't showered since Friday night. Bear thinks if he turns on only the hot water, I can at least shower. He goes down stairs to turn on the hot, forgetting he has taken the old faucet back off the pipes, leaving open ends on both. I stare in horror as hot water geysers out of the hot water pipe and all over the floor. It takes two or three seconds to realize there's a bucket nearby. I scream even louder for him to turn the water back off. He does, but then turns it right back on again. Nearly hysterical because my bucket is almost full, I screech, stomp, holler and generally cause a ruckus until he hears me from the basement and shuts the water off for good. We decide we will both have to call in sick on Monday to get the project finished. One good thing does come from this - I now have water to use the toilet. Ahhh, sweet relief!
Monday's trip to Home Depot was for two flex pipes, two shutt-off connector valves, and some asprin. Total cost: $25.
The pipes go in well and everything is looking good - no more leaks in the pipes and the vanity slides in smoothly. There is still one more problem - the drain pipes don't match up. I question if this is a big problem, because the drain works, it's just under a bit of pressure. Bear calls his uncle that lives near by, who promises to come look at it Tuesday night. A new piece of flex pipe for the drain (total cost: $5), and we have a new sink.
It's beautiful, and looks terrific. But damn, what a pain in the ass!

HACU chief development & marketing officer serves on panel on diverse workforce
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities was among the presenters at a panel on, "HBCUs, HSIs, and Community Colleges: The Gateways to a Diverse Workforce," at the Building a Diverse and Skilled Tech Workforce event on April 2, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
Sandra Espinoza Holt, chief development & marketing officer for HACU joined panelists Daniel Lufkin, Ed.D., Paul D Camp Community College, Charlene Dukes, Ph.D., Prince Georges Community College; and David Wilson, Ed.D., Morgan State University.
The focus of the panel was to ensure policy leaders understand the critical role that HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions and community colleges play in educating our current and future tech work force. Topics covered were some pioneering new programs and ways in which companies, Congress, and civil society can help these institutions expand their mission and attract more students into these critical skilled fields.
The event, presented by the Verizon Foundation and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship was designed to put the issues facing's America's tech workforce, including the shortage of skilled workers and the lack of diversity, front and center for the new Congress and highlight how HSIs, HBCUs, and community colleges are leading the way when it comes to efforts to develop and diversify our tech workforce and grow our economy.Photo: Sandra Espinoza Holt, chief development & marketing officer, HACU

Thanks for the info, I will have to take more notice the next show, I've seen a couple of 3 window coupes and quite like them too, that would solve the weather problem
but won't solve the wife problem, HA-HA, Richard.
I used to have a 32 roadster (fibreglass) with a removable roof which looked like it was a soft top. I cut up the innards of a car door with wind up windows and fitted this to the 32 doors, that way I had wind up windows. But they didnt fit perfectly like the Dearborn so always a few drafts.
If you want a 32 with wind up side windows, you need to find a convertible. Lots of money, not a lot made. Never gonna find one. The Jago 32 roadster was based on a convertible, but it didnt have the correct screen posts or door furniture available.
We used Tetanus as our only car for over 2 years, rain or shine and yeah it does get a bit tired very quickly, but roll up windows on a roadster? Not for me, I made a bolt on hard top, eventually with lift up/out windows (bit like a 2cv) we only used it twice like that. A hat, gloves and a set of waterproofs win everytime
Dearborn Deuce, Premier manufacturer of an all steel 1932 roadster body with a fully disappearing convertible top.
The price will take your breath away but I think someone makes a glass version. Someone on here has a beautiful red one, it's in Scotland but I can't remember his name
With a bit of jiggery pokery you could fit winders in. Glass would be the easy part as its flat
32 chevy roadster.
I've been in the custom/hot rod thing for donkeys years, go to loads of shows/weekends through the year but never take enough notice of
details of some cars I like. I'm thinking of looking about for a ford 32 roadster,but I've looked at hundreds over the years and ask the
question can you get proper wind up side windows, Its all very good if somebody just use there roadster for the odd day out when the
sun is out, but I want to use as all weather vehicle, my wife only like this shape model where I like 5 window coupes as well, cheers Richard.

text: The engines grew louder, and the helicopter took to the air. As I watched Fox Glacier disappear into the distance, I couldn't help but feel frustrated. I wish I could tell you that the heli hike had been a highlight of my trip to New Zealand. I wish I could join hundreds of praising reviews that describe the experience as incredible and amazing. At the very worst, I wish I could at least promise that it is absolutely not worth the money. But unfortunately, the truth is always somewhere in between.

Re: htaccess allow folder access
Well, if you are using URL rewriting in the root folder (highly recommended if available), then you could use this in your sub folder's htaccess:
you can replace index.php with whatever your actual index file name is.
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine Off

Thank you to Eli's family for sharing this Rockin' Chat and Tell with us. Mazel Tov! Here's what his mom had to say:
Eli loves Rock n' Roll, and he truly rocked the bima, but so many people helped his Bar Mitzvah party helped make his party a rockin' success! Yvette and the staff at Restaurant 210 helped it to be the amazing venue we envisioned with delicious food. We really can't say enough about how the space is both gorgeous and just a little edgy, which is exactly the vibe we wanted. Plus, the acoustics are amazing! The very gifted Lance at Freelance Studios put together such fabulous decor that both enhanced the space and personalized it – exactly what we'd hoped!
Marz and his Charisma Entertainment staff kept the party moving along and also helped create our vibe by playing Eli's classic rock music choices at exactly the right times. Marla Fleishman was so much more than a fabulous "Day of" Party Planner who kept things running smoothly; she was also a great sounding board along the way. The old school video games and crane game from Clowning Around/Entertainment Authority were a truly fun accessory and a huge success!
Aliza Sperling at G.Q. Promotions, Inc. had the patience of a saint while I hemmed and hawed about giveaways and DJ prizes and then got us such great gear at the right prices. They beautifully showcased the logo that Eli's dad, Jeff, created, and I have since received numerous compliments about them.
George Burns, photographer extraordinaire of George Burns Photography, demonstrated once again the huge advantage that Jeff's employment at Harpo Studios was in terms of connecting to people of fabulous talent. His photos were thoroughly gorgeous! Check out his website if you want to see all the work he's done for Oprah and just how lucky we were to have him.
Vanilla Video gave us the great raw footage so Jeff can edit it in the way he chooses – a true find for a dad who is a professional editor! WDS brought in their "Candy Cotton" – cotton candy made from 2 choice flavors of hard candy – and it was thoroughly beloved by adults and kids alike and so tasty! Bent Fork did their magic baking and helped us create a cookie table of Eli's delicious dreams. Edoughble provided us with our "at the door" treat and shipped some of the best cookie dough we have ever tasted complete with the logo, and the little spoon provided in the to-go cup is such a nice convenience. We can't thank all these fabulous vendors enough for shaping our party into a genuine success!
Venue: Restaurant210
DJ/MC: Charisma Entertainment
Giveaways: G. Q. Promotions, Inc., Aliza Sperling
Decor: Freelance Productions

Plans for M&S Foodhall as part of new Skegness retail park
A new M&S Foodhall is expected to arrive in Skegness should planning permission be granted by East Lindsey District Council.
If given the green light, the new foodhall will join the proposed development in the former Skegness Town Football Club along with Aldi, Pets at Home and a new Marston's Pub, creating around 200 jobs.
Marks & Spencer has previously had a clothes store in the town but closed it down in 2011.
East Lindsey District Council's Economic Development Team Leader, Jon Burgess, said: "It is good news for Skegness that M&S could be returning to the resort.
"There are some significant proposals in the pipeline for Skegness which if delivered will create employment opportunities for local residents and enhance the existing offer which can only be positive for the economy of the area."
This is the second store to be announced in Lincolnshire in August after plans were submitted for an additional M&S Foodhall in Lincoln.
Head of Property Planning at M&S Rob Morray said: "Our new store would offer customers the very best of M&S food, as well as play a role in the local community."

Hyderabad, April 25, 2019.....The New teams of FLO (FICCI Ladies Organization) and YFLO—Young FLO lead by Sona Chatwani and Shilpa Datla, Chairpersons of FLO and YFLO respectively took over.
Interacting and delivering key note address "living on my own terms" the well known actress Tabu said "I am attached to Hyderabad. I didn't want to leave. It was difficult to leave Hyderabad. I have my childhood memories here in this city. That is why I initially denied acting in movies as I didn't want to move away from the city, she said
Now that I am living in Mumbai, on any small excuse, I make it a point to come to Hyderabad, she shared.
Is it because of the family, Shabana Azmi your Aunt and Farah your sister and the connections you got into pictures? Tabu replied that it had just happened and was not planned.
When asked to share her views on Me Too movement she responded that it was a generic question, couldn't be answered just like that. And said it depends differently on different people and how each one takes.
Responding to another question Tabu said "I make friends everywhere. I have a lot of friends in the industry. I have made friends through my work".
I would love to do Telugu movies. I started my journey with a Telugu movie. I have learnt everything from that movie. My guru is Raghavender Rao. I want to keep my Hyderabad connection live, Tabu said
When asked how she managed her stress, she said, it is most commonly found issue in this modern era. Even children are talking about it. We can't eliminate it. We have to manage it. I listen to music and walk to break the stress and overcome it, she shared
Addressing the press conference prior to the change of guard, outgoing Chairperson Priyanka Ganeriwal Arora said my tenure as 17th Chairperson of FLO has been enriching and rewarding. I had become a better version of myself she added.
During my tenure, the chapter has reached a record number of members, 680 this year. The chapter hosted interstate meet, felicitating 170 members from 15 states. We had hosted 21events. We donated 1540 smile kits, hygiene kits, much beyond the targeted figure of 1100, to those girls who dropped out of school due to lack of proper menstrual care, Priyanka informed.
Sharing her vision, incoming chairperson Sona Chatwani shared theme for the year: "Reframing Women Empowerment". I will work on rebooting, reconnecting and reinventing with meaningful events, capacity building workshops and skill development initiatives, she added.
I will be taking forward Agriculture initiative which is the National theme initiated by the National President of FLO Ms. Harjinder Kaur. This year I will be launching - FLO Market place- Style tatva encouraging women and aiming at women empowerment, which infact is going to be a flagship event, IN HUB, an interactive and networking hub among members and Indigenius Agriculture, in alignment to the national theme she informed.
FLO must become a dominant player for the women in India. We will take an active role to work with government to play a proactive role in policies making. We will also focus on STEM education in two girls schools in the city, she informed.
It is a mixed feeling, both pride and sadness". Pride because I have done my best for the development of YFLO members and sad because I am demiting my office, said Vinitha Surana, the outgoing Chairperson of YFLO.
My theme for the YFLO for this year will be "The New You", shared YFLO Chairperson Shilpa Datla. In the coming year we will take up activities to create more awareness and encourage more women to get into Boards of various organizations.

Language - Python Windows Visual Studio
Language - Python
Windows with Visual Studio
Welcome to using Phidgets with Python! By using Python, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
Visual Studio is an IDE provided by Microsoft that can be used to develop code in a wide variety of programming languages, including Python.
Install Phidget Drivers for Windows
Before getting started with the guides below, ensure you have the following components installed on your machine:
- You will need the Phidgets Windows Drivers
- You will need a version of Python installed on your machine (2.7 and 3.6+ are compatible with Phidgets).
The recommended way to install the Phidget22 Python module is using the PIP package manager.
Python versions 2.7.9+ and 3.4+ include PIP by default. To install the Phidget22 Python module with PIP, simply open the Command Prompt (press the Windows key and search for "cmd"), and enter the command:
python -m pip install Phidget22
To install the Phidget22 libraries to a specific Python version, you can use the Python Windows Launcher from the Command Prompt as follows (replace -X.X with your Python version, e.g. -2.7 or -3.6):
py -X.X -m pip install Phidget22
To install the Phidget22 Python module without PIP, you will need to download the Phidget22 Python module. After unpacking the Phidget22 Python module, open the Command Prompt (press the Windows key and search for "cmd") Locate the folder where you downloaded the Python module and enter the following command:
python setup.py install
This will build the module and install the Python module files into your site-packages directory.
Finding Code Samples
To find the code sample to use for your Phidget, navigate to the Code Samples page and select your device from the drop-down menu.
Once you select your device, the code sample generator will give you a working code sample, and a selection of options to customize it to your needs.
Setting Up a New Project
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget Python library.
To start, create a new Python project:
Then open the Python file that was generated with the project.
Using the Code Samples
Now that you have configured a project to use Phidgets, you can copy the code sample from the Code Samples page into your project, and run it.
What's Next?
Now that you have set up Phidgets to work with your programming environment, we recommend you read our guide on Phidget Programming Basics to learn the fundamentals of programming with Phidgets.

- Heavy Traffic
It was the Reverend Sidney Smith who said, "I never read a book before reviewing it; it prejudices a man so." Thirty years ago that remark was still a joke. These days, it's a downright plausible idea, one with a distinctly postmodern ring. If the objects of experience are nothing but constructions, inventions of our cultures and mind-sets, that must go as well for all the books we read—including those books which urge this fact on us. To read them is to construct them, to write them for yourself. But wait—that can't be a fact, because facts are just prejudices too. Takes your breath away to realize how far scholarship has come.
These thoughts drifted through my mind reading The Traffic in Culture: Refiguring Art and Anthropology, edited by George E. Marcus and Fred R. Myers (University of California Press, $48.00 cloth, $17.95 paper). It comprises a long introduction plus eleven chapters which "explore the boundaries and affinities between art, anthropology, representation, and culture, casting a critical, ethnographic light on the art worlds of the contemporary West and the ways they give value to cultural form—in short, a "'traffic' in culture." It is not easy to make out a consistent thread in the essays themselves. Carol Vance offers a fine discussion in the form of four small essays on censorship, the NEA, Jesse Helms, and so forth. There is no discernible connection with anthropology, and I cannot see why these pieces are included. Nancy Sullivan, described as a Ph.D. candidate in Fred R. Myers's NYU anthropology department, struggles with her cumbersome account of the artworld in the last generation. Again, I can detect no hint of how anthropology has helped her understand the artworld. Hal Foster makes a cameo appearance of only a few pages, a kind of postmodern arabesque with lots of big words. Christopher B. Steiner revisits material [End Page 283] presented in his book, African Art in Transit, which is squarely in the field, and Steven Feld agonizes about appropriation of world music into commercial music business while telling some interesting tales about a radio program he produced of music from Papua New Guinea. The feminist Judith L. Goldstein does a late-capitalist, "late-postmodernist" job on women's makeup, with much reliance on Fredric Jameson but no anthropology I can discern, despite the fact that she gave a version of it at an American Anthropological Association conference. If we really have reached "late-postmodernism" we can only be thankful. Molly H. Mullin's account of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century enthusiasm for American Indian artifacts, on the other hand, may begin with clichés about "élite responses to the rise of consumer capitalism," but it soon settles down to a solid account of the people and problems of trying to achieve recognition of Indian handicrafts as art. This was made possible, we learn, by much devoted work from people who were multiculturalists before the word existed, white Americans whose actions were based on a love of Indian cultures and arts, rather than postcolonial theory and the school of resentment. All the issues of art vs. craft, the relation of tourism to artistic development, authenticity, and so on, were raised in the 1920s and 30s, with sophistication not often seen today.
But to figure out how it all is supposed to tie together, we have to turn to the book's explanatory introduction. This is so turgidly vague that when I was done I felt like invoicing the authors for my time. These pages are peppered with half-assertions I'd half want to dispute if their meaning were plainer, and a few that are plain enough to be flat-out wrong. Among many examples: "Ironically, the very category of 'art'—as opposed to 'the arts'—goes unexamined in its own hierarchies of sense, so that various forms of popular performance, in which disinterested contemplation does not necessarily reign supreme, are excluded." Excluded? Notice that irritating passive voice: who, I'd like to know, has left popular performance unexamined and excluded? What are "hierarchies of sense"? The sentence carries no reference.

The AFL has informed clubs that the sub rule will be abolished in 2016 and the interchange cap will be reduced to 90 rotations per game.
The controversial substitute rule lasted just four years, after being introduced at the beginning of the 2011 season, with the league now going back to four interchange players.
The new cap of 90 rotations, down from 120 this year, will mean the league will average around 90 rotations for the first time since 2009.
More to come.

Blame Jon del Arroz. I attended the steampunk panel at LibertyCon, and Jon announced that 1) he's got the next two books in the steampunk series coming out in August and September and 2) he's trying to revive steampunk as a genre, and is starting a #SummerofSteampunk campaign. (Scroll down toward the bottom of the post.)
I don't tweet, twit, Gab, or whatever they are calling it this week, but I agree with Jon, and not just because I have a steampunk novel and novella available for sale.
Some of you may recall my frustration when I went hunting for cover art for "In the Vliets" and found a lot of covers that struck me as more Victorian Paranormal Romance than steampunk. As in, not so many gears and goggles and too many gals in leather corsets and crinolines. When the only women in the story are both proper Victorian ladies who don't run around showing their shoulders over leather, well, the art might hurt sales by promising what the story doesn't deliver.
To me, that says that steampunk as a sub-genre of fantasy or sci-fi has hit a bit of a marketing barrier. At 1600 CDT on Wednesday of this past week, only four of the top 20 best-selling steampunk books on Amazon had actual steampunk elements, and one of those books was Lovecraftian horror with some steampunk blended in by virtue of when it was set. That's cool, but where's my Jules Verne, William Gibson, and other "steampunk" stories? It appears there's a problem, especially because the #1, #5 and #6 are space opera with (apparently) a few steampunk elements tacked on. Once past #20 things improve and you find the Parasol Protectorate series among others.
Granted, Amazon is not a perfect source, but if the top 20 steampunk books have fewer than 20 titles that are obviously steampunk, either the genre needs a little re-defining or people are not reading "pure" steampunk*, assuming such a thing exists aside from Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.
I suspect that steampunk has been folded into too many sub-sub-genres, and has been diluted by the other messages being imposed on some of those genres. To me, steampunk has the sense-of-wonder that the originals included, Verne and those Victorian and Edwardian penny-dreadful story tellers who explored their world and its technologies. Think of the original Wild Wild West TV show, but with more air ships and experimental technology. Weird West can include steampunk, but also encompasses a wider time-frame.
Steampunk is in many ways as much an aesthetic as a genre, as the song "Stick Some Gears on It" points out. It is more than "Goths in brown with goggles," however. To me, it has to be set 1) before much electricity was in use, 2) in a steam and hydraulics world, 3) with adventure and a sense of wonder, 4) and have a neat story. I'm flexible about the first three to an extent, but you have to tell me a cracking good story, like H. Rider Haggard and Jules Verne did.
*Or people are gaming the keywords to bump their ranking, which is a whole 'nother mess entirely.

From old skool hip hop to classic rock her style and taste in music just isn't big enough. But above the rest Ruth will settle for blues being her most passionate style.

There are more signs that the advertising world is taking Amazon extremely seriously.
Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of the world's largest ad group WPP, has given the biggest estimate yet of how much Amazon makes from digital advertising.
During WPP's half-year earnings call, he estimated that Amazon had earned $US2.5 billion (£1.95 billion) from digital advertising. He didn't give a time frame, but the wider context of his remarks was digital ad spend in 2016.
That's the biggest public estimate of Amazon's current advertising earning power out there. eMarketer last year pegged Amazon's ad revenue at $US1 billion (£781 million) for 2016, and predicted that it would rise to $US1.81 billion (£1.41 billion) this year.
Sorrell said Amazon controlled a small but "increasing" share of the digital ad market, which is currently dominated by Google and Facebook. He said Amazon could be a possible "third force" against the two dominant firms. He has previously said Snapchat, ad tech firm AppNexus, and Oath could be viable third forces.
Amazon's ad business is small fry compared to Facebook and Google's, but it's growing rapidly. The company is hiring more staff to that area of the business, and CFO Brian Olsavsky said growth had been "strong and fairly consistent." Still, Google made $US22.7 billion (£17.4 billion) from advertising in the second quarter, while Facebook made $US9.2 billion (£7.2 billion). And Sorrell said WPP would spend about $US6 billion (£4.7 billion) on Google this year, and more than $US2 billion (£1.56 billion) on Facebook.
He warned against another walled garden however, where marketers embrace a new platform but struggle to control data around customers. Facebook, Snapchat, and Google have all been criticised by the ad industry for not being transparent enough about the way they measure ad effectiveness.
Sorrell said: "It's a question of who controls data. It's all very well going on Amazon's platform — as clients have found with Google and Facebook, control of the data is critically important."

Why is it So Difficult to Take Your Own Advice…?
I listen to a lot of my friends problems, talking through them and coming up with viable solutions. With my interest in psychoanalysis I can see to some extent where problems stem from therefore helping to understand how to resolve them.
I use the same approach for myself; analysing the roots of my issues and recognising areas for change. Why doesn't this approach ever seem to get me anywhere though? If I know the root of the problem and the solution, why do I keep going round in circles?
This conundrum has got me thinking about the mental states of similar thinkers. Are all psychoanalysts suffering from the same feeling that their worlds are spinning out of control? And does that mean that they are therefore not in any position to be helping anyone else with their problems?
The only conclusion I can draw from this is the fact that trying to deal with my own problems myself is counterproductive. That exploring personal issues internally, from my own viewpoint is doing me no good whatsoever therefore completely nullifying my attempts to "know oneself."
Back to square one for me it seems…yet again.

If you are comfortable with Command Line Interface (CLI) use the following commands -

By Roger Cox, Editor
This winsome family-run resort in the Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania, 65 miles from Pittsburgh, started out as a hunting lodge, but that doesn't begin to suggest how it has evolved after a $100 million infusion of capital and enthusiasm from 84 Lumber founder Joe Hardy. With a French Renaissance-style chateau at its core, a full-service spa, and a wealth of recreation, Nemacolin has emerged from the privileged shadows as one of America's most charming all-round resorts.
That said, I don't want to oversell its appeal to tennis players. Although there are two golf courses, the spa, an equestrian center, a sporting clays club and shooting academy, fishing creeks, croquet and more, there are only four artificial grass courts (all with lights). However, the tennis program, which runs from mid-April to November, is now under noted coach and USPTA pro Fritz Schunck, who ran his own junior camps for 34 years. Here at Nemacolin, he supplements private lessons with junior clinics, adult socials, and Cardio tennis while helping guests find matches.
There are a variety of lodging options, including rooms in the hunting lodge and in the chateau as well as townhouses and homes. Rates are generally higher on weekends. Check the website for rates during the period you expect to visit.

Very impressive of R&R Publisher Erica Farber to end 2007 with a profile of one of the best programmers I ever worked for, Bill Drake:
State of radio: Competition is such that today people are excited about a 3 share. There are so many wasted signals. Our policy was, we didn't go into a market without the intent of being No. 1, period, boom! No niche this or that. And we made it 90% of the time.
What we can learn from yesterday's successes: Whoever puts the best on the radio wins. Obviously today you've got iPods, satellite and all kinds of goodies. There are some good programmers, but some lousy-sounding stations—and some of them have incredible signals. There doesn't seem to be that fever anymore. I know when we were doing it we were like a brotherhood. We went in to win and did whatever it took. We were totally, absolutely dedicated. It doesn't come across on many radio stations now. A lot of people just don't know what they're doing. Of course, that's always been true, thank you, Jesus.

Today is Father's Day. My husband had to work the graveyard shift and didn't come home until 9 am this morning. So, while he slept, after I walked our GSD, my teen and I went to the gym to workout to continue on my quest of getting fit for our summer vacation at OBX. Cost of gym = free. I'm on the quest to get fit on a budget.
My wish list
I want to tone my arms and abdominal. Anything else that gets toned while doing so is a plus.
My Chosen activity for the day
- Marpo Kinetics Compact Climber = 15 minutes, 2212 feet climbed
- Elliptical = 18 minutes (including cool down), 1.65 miles
- Racquetball = 35 minutes
Day 6 of my toning quest
I have to say, I was happy that my teen initiated the invite to workout. We went to the gym, just the two of us. Even more, we were pretty productive.
Since I had Friday and Saturday off, I wanted to work on my arms again and opted for the rope climber. I learned about this machine from Part 5 workout. I really like this equipment because I can really feel my upper torso muscles at work.
Where I felt the most muscle workout on this machine:
- triceps
- biceps
- hands
- inner upper thigh (from the way I am sitting, I guess)
After the rope climber, I did a few minutes on the elliptical to balance the workout before moving on to racquetball, which is my teen's favorite part of the gym. We still don't know how to play the sport, but it doesn't stop us from playing it. haha.
This sport works the whole body and I got a pretty decent workout playing it, regardless if I knew how to play or not.
Total gym time = 120 minutes.
A more scenic alternative to exercise
I have not had the pleasure to play racquetball prior to this fitness quest. The necessity of the room to be closed up to allow the ball to bounce on the walls makes finding a scenic alternative to this particular game a bit of a challenge.
What I can offer is tennis, which is similar to racquetball in terms of hitting a ball with a racket. Here in Virginia Beach there are several locations to play tennis outdoors for free.
A great place that offers free tennis court usage can be found at Red Wing Park. Because it is a city park, it also offers picnic tables, and pave pathways to ride the bike or walk. There is also a basketball court at this park. I have noticed when we came back to Virginia Beach that most of the parks no longer have basketball courts. This park is one of the few that still does.
At the gym, the racquetball equipment is provided for free. However, at Red Wing Park, you must bring your own tennis gear. Ours is nothing fancy since I know the kids will just bang it around before they actually learn how to play.
We still haven't learned to play tennis, still learning to control the strength of the hit; but, we do have fun whenever we play, which is the most important part. Exercise should be fun, especially when kids are involved.
Working on getting an automatic ball machine that serves the ball automatically. It's especially helpful for one player training. For the mean time, there are boards at the tennis courts that you can hit the tennis ball against, allowing for a one player game.
Additional Background to Red Wing park
Virginia Beach is a sister city to Miyazaki, Japan. As such, there are 150 Yoshino Cherry Blossom trees that were donated to Red Wing Park. Red Wing Park is known for its Cherry Blossoms in the months of March-April.
The trees bloom the beautiful pinkish white flowers once a year and it is dependent on the winter season when it will bloom. It's worth seeing, especially when you can't visit Washington DC to see the cherry blossoms. This park is also pet-friendly.
The annual Cherry Blossom Festival takes places at Red Wing Park once a year and is timed during the peak of cherry blossom trees blossoming. It's typically on a Saturday and it is filled with activities, music and performances and food, all geared to teach about the Japanese culture. Bring your own chair or blanket to enjoy the performances. This event is outdoors, so please bring sunscreen.
Red Wing Park also have a spacious dog park.
Final words
Please consult with your doctor(s) regarding starting an exercise regimen. Your doctor(s) will be able to help you create a goal based on your medical history. Please also listen to your body, it will tell you if it's had enough.
The exercise regimen I have provided on this post, or my other posts, is for information purposes only and should not be taken as a exercise regimen advice. I am not a professional. Thank you for understanding.
How do you keep yourself motivated to exercise?
Until next time.

Norway may just be the first country in the world to ban the use of petrol and diesel-run cars, according to a report in an influential local newspaper.
Following the exclusive story, the world's media has been responding to the idea of an entire country running on electric cars, and a mixed response has emerged. For many, the move makes sense as the country exports almost all of its natural resources and manages very well without consuming vast amounts of gas and oil. In fact, a quarter of the new vehicles sold in Norway are already powered by electricity.
As we move further and further towards electric cars becoming a realistic alternative to petrol and diesel cars, many dealerships will start to add electric car models to their offering. However, it's vital that dealerships diversifying their stock in this way keep their motor trade insurance up to date to ensure they are sufficiently covered.
Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire behind the Tesla car brand took to Twitter to voice his approval of the decision stating that Norway is an "amazingly awesome country" for taking the plunge and moving towards 100 per cent electric cars.
The report states that the plan has come about following agreements between officials from all sides of Norway's political spectrum and that the ban will take effect from 2025. However, some on the more right wing side of politics in the country claim that the ban has not yet been officially confirmed.

Over time, the actual use of a tool or part can outlive its documentation. Or, in production environments, a physical tool can be edited and adjusted to achieve the required results. When it comes time to replace this customized part or tool, it's print or CAD documentation no longer matches reality. So when a customer needs to accurately document or re-manufacture a legacy item of this kind, reverse engineering (RE) and geometry re-creation are essential.
Designing and Retrofitting
When a part is reverse engineered, designers work within the context of the larger system or device, because the new design must be flawlessly integrated. For example:
In advanced mechanical and aerospace industries, traditional reverse engineering in which only a CAD copy of the old component is developed is less effective than using a 3D model and performing deviation analysis as a final check. 3D re-engineering optimizes the component/sub-system design concerning new materials and the advanced manufacturing technologies often employed in such industries.
As part of an integrated re-engineering plan for the replacement of an aerospace component or sub-system, a 3D scan of the original part is often the first step. This provides a simple neutral model showing the exact surface characteristics around which the engineers must design. Then, using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling techniques, a re-engineered design can be tested in a virtual environment to ensure that it provides the solution required.
Sophisticated technicians can build design files for use in any modern software, and many legacy platforms. We prefer SolidWorks and Creo/Pro-E, and use those regularly for ongoing re-engineering projects with our aerospace clients, so we can speak to the accuracy and ease of re-engineering using those platforms.
Once the re-engineered design is complete, deviation analysis should be used as a final test.
Using Deviation Analysis in RE
By using Deviation Analysis (DA) as a final proof-of-work when a Reverse Engineering project is completed, the designer can be certain that the re-engineered part will perform as desired.
You may have heard Deviation Analysis being referred to as Comparative Analysis, Computer-Aided Inspection (CAI), Computer-Aided Verification (CAV), or Color Maps. We prefer the term Deviation Analysis (DA) because it most clearly and precisely describes the goal of the analysis: to detect any deviation between the scan data of a part and its CAD model or the scan data of another of the same part.
In DA, point-cloud data from the scan is overlaid on the CAD model or the other part's scan data to reveal any deviation between the two. Besides first-article inspection and part-to-part comparison, DA is also used for rapid design verification and tooling validation.
Used in re-engineering, Deviation Analysis employs precise point-by-point comparison to show that the design created matches the newly designed physical part exactly as needed. This extra step enables design technicians to achieve a level of precision in verification that is almost impossible with manual methods.
We use and recommend deviation analysis as a crucial and cost-effective step in assuring the accuracy of any re-engineered model.

Pick-ups are proceeding as planned, despite the situation, unless there is a reduction in staff.
As a result, you can protect garbage collectors during a pandemic.
Visit the Coronavirus page.
*Other dates may be added during the year, such as additional bulk waste collections and fall leaf collections. The collection date for December 2020 for bulk waste has to be determined.
Tricycle is an online tool to better recycle, which is part of the CYCLE of reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery of residual materials.
Where can I bring my used batteries? Where can I bring my empty paint containers? What can I do with my old appliances? Where can I bring my old clothes, toys, and books? Where can I bring my asphalt shingles waste? Tricycle can help you answer all these questions.
As of January 6, 2020, the recycling collection will be every Monday.
Dates for the 2019-2020 holiday season:
- December 19 and 26
- No collection on January 2
- January 6
All recyclable goods must be put in the blue bin supplied by the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges. We recommend that you put your recycling bin out at curbside as of 6 p.m. on the day before pickup to be sure you don't miss the truck the next day.
Cardboard special collections in 2020
- Week of January 2 to 8
- Week of July 2 to 8
Disassemble and stack your boxes. Then put them next to your bin during the regular recycling pickup day, on Monday.
Accepted and refused materials
Materials accepted in recycling bins
As of January 31, 2020, garbage collection will be every other Friday.
As a result of the obligation imposed by the government, and due to the recent adoption of a Sustainable Development Policy, the Town of Pincourt has decided to follow neighboring towns by reducing its waste collections.
The amount of waste placed in the garbage bin has decreased since the arrival of food waste collection. This new change is a great way to collectively reduce our ecological footprint.
Collections dates in 2020
- January 31
- February 14 and 28
- March 13 and 27
- April 10 and 24
- May 8 and 22
- June 5 and 19
- July 3, 17 and 31
- August 14 and 28
- September 11 and 25
- October 9 and 23
- November 6 and 20
- December 4 and 18
All garbage must be put in the black bin supplied by the Town. We recommend that you put your garbage out at curbside as of 6 p.m. on the day before pickup to be sure you don't miss the truck the next day.
Refused materials
The following materials may not be placed in your garbage bin:
- Agricultural and industrial production waste
- Manure, mud, liquid waste and fertilizers
- Hazardous goods
- Explosive items
- Tires and car parts
- Soil and sand soaked with oil or gas
- Biomedical waste
- Hazardous household waste
- Electronic appliances (ICT items)
- Ashes
Did you know?
Garbage trucks are equipped with a GPS positioning system that records their movements. The GPS records the trucks' positions at each stop and minute by minute. These data are then collected by the Public Works Department.
Think the last garbage truck may have forgotten you? The GPS data can tell us exactly when the truck serviced your street.
Recycling Food Waste (compost)
Food waste is collected
every Monday.
Phase 2: Food waste collection
- Multi-unit buildings of 4 units and more
- Distribution of 240 L bins: starting September 30, 2019
- First collection: Monday, October 7, 2019
Transfer the content of your kitchen bin in your brown bin. On collection day, place your bin out at the curb, wheels facing your property. This will prevent the materials from dropping onto the lid when emptied.
Do you already have a domestic composter?
Do not change your habits! See the brown bin as the perfect complement to your domestic composter.
The collection of food waste is an opportunity for you to optimize the recovery of other materials such as table residues, which do not go into your home composter, i.e. meat, fish, leftovers, pasta and salads containing sauce and /or vinaigrette.
Use your brown bin as an alternative when your home composter is full, frozen, or you need snowshoes to reach it!
Accepted and refused items

Bulk deposit (pell-mell in the bin):
- You may cover the residues of dry matter or newspaper between the deposits.
- You also can double or triple the thickness to prevent liquid leakage.
Authorized and refused
Whether 100% compostable, oxo-biodegradable or biodegradable, plastic bags are not accepted in food waste collection. Which material in your brown bin is accepted or rejected depends on the site and the processing technology used.
Use cellulose-lined paper bags (available in grocery stores and hardware stores).
Alternatives to bags:
- Newsprint
- Flyers
- Paper grocery bags
- Soiled unwaxed cardboard
Maintenance of your bins
Kitchen bin and brown bin
Clean your bin regularly with water with added vinegar or biodegradable soap. Avoid using bleach.
Tricks to avoid bad smells:
- Line the bottom of your bin with newsprint or cardboard to absorb liquids and prevent materials from sticking to the bottom.
- Use a corner of your freezer to store animal or odorous materials until the day of collection.
- Avoid dumping in large amounts of liquids or oils.
- Sprinkle a deodorant product such as baking soda.
- Store your bin in the shade.
Repell animals:
- Apply cough ointment or essential mint oil to the rim of the lid of your bin.
- Close the container tightly with the provided clasp.
Your brown bin during winter:
- Prevent materials from sticking to the walls by lining the bottom of the bin with layers of newspaper or cardboard.
- During a snowstorm, if possible, wait until the next collection to put your bin out on the street so as not to hinder municipal snow removal. Your bin is large enough to hold the equivalent of several weeks of food residue and in winter there is no smell.
Frequently asked questions (PDF)
Phases of the new collection
- Phase 1 (2018): homes with less than four units will receive a brown bin
- Phase 2 (2019): multiple units of more than four units will be served
- Phase 3 (2020): the sector of industries, businesses and institutions (ICI) comparable to the residential sector will be served
Bulk waste
Starting in February 2020, the bulk waste will be picked up on the fourth Friday of the month.
There will be a bulk waste collection on Monday, January 20, 2020.
As of February 28, 2020, the bulk waste collection will be every 4th Friday of the month.

Due to the high demand, the branch collection takes several days to be completed. When demand is very high, collection can continue the following week. If your branches are not picked up on Tuesday, it is normal.
You must put your branch at curbside the day before pick-up, on Monday after 6 p.m.
How to place your branch?: PDF
You no longer have to call the Public Works Department to reserve your pick-up. You simply have to place your branches at curbside on the designated dates. Due to the high demand, the operation may take several days. Thus, your branches could be picked up on a day other than Tuesday. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Green Waste (leaves)
The leaf pickup, also called the green waste, targets plant waste produced by your fall garden and lawn clean-ups.
Paper bags authorized
Plastic bags are NO longer accepted.

Christmas Trees
Christmas trees will be picked up during the entire month of January.
Want to get rid of your natural Christmas tree? Nothing could be simpler: just put it by the side of the street. Public Works will pick up real trees through the end of January.
Make sure you remove all decorations before putting your tree by the curb. Place it with the trunk closest to the street.
Garbage, recycling and large item collection is postponed to a later date if the regular date falls on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
If the garbage, recycling or large item pickup date falls on any other holiday, the collection proceeds as usual.
During the holidays, our contractors may experience scheduling constraints that can affect collection operations and times. For that reason, we recommend you always place your bins and materials for pickup at the curb on the day before collection. Thank you for your understanding.
Bin placement
Your bins will be emptied if certain requirements are met.
Under our contract, our service provider is not required to lift wheeled bins robotically in the following cases:
- If there are any bags on or next to the bin
- If a bin is stuck in the ice
- If a bin is in the street
- If the bin's wheels are on the street side
- If the bin's lid is open
For safety reasons, garbage truck drivers must remain in their vehicle if they see an incorrectly positioned bin.
In winter, the bin must not get in the way of the snow plow. Avoid leaving your bin too close to the street.
Your bin wasn't emptied? Call the Public Works Department to find out whether your address is listed in the contractor's non-compliance report. If it is, you'll find out the exact reason why your bin wasn't emptied.
Moving and bins
Black bins
Your black bin, identified with the Pincourt logo, belongs to the Town. Its serial number, shown on the left side, is linked with your address. If you move, you must therefore leave your bin where it is. Thank you for your cooperation.
Blue bins
Your blue bin, identified with the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM logo, belongs to the regional county municipality. Its serial number, shown on the left side, is associated with your address. If you move, you must leave your bin where it is. Thank you for your cooperation.
Broken, lost or stolen bins
Broken bins
Is your blue or black bin split? Has a handle on your blue bin broken? Or maybe the lid of your black bin has been torn off, or you're missing a wheel? No worries! Just make a repair or replacement request to the Public Works Department by phone or email at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Any breakage caused by bumps or collisions during waste collection operations will be repaired without cost.
When making your request by phone (514 453-8981, ext. 381) or email (firstname.lastname@example.com), be sure to provide the following information:
- your name
- your address
- your telephone number
- the color of your bin (black, brown or blue)
- the serial number of your bin, which is marked on its left side
- a description of the breakage or problem
Once you have filed a repair or replacement request, make sure your bin can be seen from the street. Do not leave it in your garage or back yard.
Repair and replacement details
Blue bins
Every second Wednesday, the Public Works Department sends the list of repairs to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM. Call us before 10 a.m. on Wednesday, and allow 10 working days for your bin to be repaired or replaced.
If you make your request after the list is sent, you will be added to the next list to be sent out two weeks later.
Black bins
Every Monday, the Public Works Department sends the list of repairs to Matrec, a private firm. Call us before 10 a.m. on Monday, and allow one working week for your bin to be repaired or replaced. If you call after 10 a.m. on Monday, your name will be added to the following week's list of repairs.
Lost or stolen bins

If you new to investing or just starting out I would highly recommend Ramit Sethi's Blog – I Will Make You Rich. He is one of the premier financial adviser/blogger and recently stressed the importance of investing in the stock market and starting early.
I agree whole heartily that investing in the stock market is a smart decision if you know what you are doing.
Yes – having a very good understanding of the market and how it works and how to invest and diversify … is required. So read up, take a course, borrow a book or check out other posts on this site and start the journey.
According to a recent Gallup poll, only 37% of young Americans ages 35 and under said they owned stocks between 2017 and 2018, compared to the 61% of people over the age of 35 did own stocks.Opening an investment account gives you access to the biggest money-making vehicle in the history of the world — and you don't have to be rich to do it. Many account providers will waive minimums (the amount required to open an account) if you set up an automatic monthly transfer.
Here is the rest of the article and clip by Ramit. Read the original article here.
Invest now — you're not getting any younger
What if you had started investing $10 per week five years ago? Assuming an average return of 8%, you'd have thousands of dollars today— all from investing a little more than $1 per day. Think about that $10 a week. Where did it go, anyway? If you're like most, you probably spent it on Uber rides and Frappuccinos.
Despite wild rides in the stock market, the best thing you can do is to think long-term and start investing early:
- If you invest $10 per week: After one year, you'll have $541; after five years, you'll have $3,173; after 10 years, you'll have $7,836.
- If you invest $30 per week: After one year, you'll have $1,082; after five years, you'll have $6,347; after 10 years, you'll have $15,672.
- If you invest $50 per week: After one year, you'll have $2,705; after five years, you'll have $15,867; after 10 years, you'll have $39,181.
Stop making excuses
Although most people are limited by circumstances, most will never get rich simply because they have poor money practices. If you're in your 20s or early 30s, there's still time to set aggressive investment goals. The first step is to understand what your excuses (or what I call "invisible scripts") really mean.
- Invisible script: "There are so many stocks out there, so many ways to buy and sell stocks, and so many people giving different advice. It feels overwhelming."
What it means: This is code for: "I want to hide behind complexity." Any new topic is overwhelming (i.e., diets, workout regimens or parenting). The answer isn't to avoid it — it's to pick a source of information and start learning.
- Invisible script: "I don't want to be the person who buys into the market when it peaks."
What it means: You already know you can't time the market, but you just don't understand it. You can make this problem disappear by automatically investing each month.
- Invisible script: "I haven't invested in anything because there are so many different options to put my money in over the long term (i.e., real estate, stocks, cryptocurrency and commodities). I know I should invest, but stocks don't 'feel' comfortable. "
What it means: The great irony is that you believe "control" will help your investment returns. In reality, you'd actually get better returns by doing less. The less control you have, the better. The average investor buys high, sells low and trades frequently (which incurs taxes). All of this cuts your returns by huge amounts.
- Invisible script: "Due to my lack of knowledge and experience in the stock market, I don't wish to lose my hard-earned money."
What it means: Ironically, every day that you don't invest, you're actually losing money due to inflation. You'll never realize this until you're in your 70s, at which point it'll be too late.
- Invisible script: "Fees are a big part of it. I only have a small amount to invest, so trading fees can make a big dent in my returns."
What it means: It's totally mystifying how people think "investing = trading stocks." Oh wait, no it isn't — every dumb commercial and app pushes this agenda. When you follow my advice, your fees can be really low.
- Invisible script: "I ordered a small coffee instead of a large, so I'm actually saving X dollars a day. Am I adulting?"
What it means: Not really.

You're So Green I Bet You Think This Post Is About You.
With a burning passion.
Almost as much of a burning passion as my need for money.
I hate you, money.
I want to write a blog ranting about how money is evil and it does nothing good most of the time, the only time normal people feel good about it is when Amex is taken off your post-it of "Avoid Answering These Numbers" or possibly when you can actually go buy clothes or shoes without feeling like you need to avoid lunch until next pay day.
But there are too many points to write a post on this, too many variables that will morph an annoying money problem into a full blown panic attack.
I guess all I have to say is I'm tired of it running my life. I'll make money, I'll spend money, I have to deal with actual money every day in a truly expensivo city that the last thing I want to do is allow the stress of it to creep into my shiny bits of life that I actually enjoy and look forward to.
Yes, money is important. Yes, when it's not the amount you need life can get very tense. Yes, I've experienced times when the thought of money sparks an instant migraine.
Yes, I'm probably living in what my friends call "Erikas World" and most people are rolling their eyes at my thoughts.
But does that change the fact that I want to breathe for awhile in my life without smelling that weird metal/people hands odor on the green paper we put so much stock into? No.
I will live in my world if it means not allowing the idea of money to consume every cell in my brain.
But that takes living in another world where I even allow my world to come into focus. Right now I'm so damn stressed about my current money, my near future money, and anybody else's money that I have to be involved with.

Dr. Szmuc explains how much weight a woman might expect to gain during pregnancy.
Dr. Szmuc:
Weight gain is a area that is a touchy subject. I would say that the average is 27 to 30 pounds in a average patient's weight that comes in at their first visit.
We say that you should gain less if you are overweight or obese and that can be anywhere from 15 to 20 pounds. If you are way underweight the recommendation is up to 30 to 40 pounds.
Well the baby needs a proper weight gain by the mom so that the child can get all the nutrition that baby needs. Remember, you are growing a baby from scratch and that baby is just going to grow to six to ten pounds in a matter of months.
So the weight gain is important. The weight goes to the baby, to the uterus, to the placenta, the mom's body including breasts and bones – all that increases and all that takes weight gain.
About Dr. Edward D. Szmuc, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.:
Dr. Edward D. Szmuc, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., is board certified with the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Fellow of American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Banner Desert Medical Center in Tempe, Arizona. Dr. Szmuc earned his M.D. from the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo and completed his residency at Boston University School of Medicine in Massachusetts.

uImagine was fortunate to have Jessica Stevens presenting a session on her PhD research as part the the weimagine:Open season held in November last year. Jessica Stevens is a PhD Candidate in the Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Research Program at the Queensland University of Technology, and she is also the Creative Commons Global Network Council Representative for the Australian Creative Commons Chapter.
Access to education is essential for humans to progress and develop to their full potential. The fundamental requirement of access to education is highlighted in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number four, to 'ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all'.
Jessica's research explores how open education resources, specifically the creation and adaption of open textbooks, can be better used to support human progress and development through broader access to education. Specifically, it investigates how open publishing models work in the context of open textbooks in higher education. Drawing on the dominant open textbook publishing models in higher education and through qualitative research interviews with stakeholders, her research analyses the circumstances in which open publishing models are effective and efficient, and how they compare to each other.
The overall goal of Jessica's research is twofold. Firstly, this research seeks to provide a template to guide Australian stakeholders in higher education on choosing between models of open publishing – making it easier to support, fund, create and adopt open textbooks in the Australian publishing ecosystem. Secondly, the outcomes of this research can assist stakeholders in understanding the potential value associated with providing barrier free access to education resources, such as the potential to address SDGs and support human development.
We invite you to view Jessica's presentation and encourage you to ask questions or add any comments in the Comments section below.
