Girl's Guide to Witchcraft by Mindy Klasky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book so much! I liked the majority of the characters a lot. Jane is a favorite and I am so invested in what happens to her. I want to begin reading the next book now. I like that no one is perfect in the story. I love all the emotions that Jane went through. Nothing was glossed over. It is one of the most honest, true to life paranormal story I have read in awhile. I love being taken away by fantasy and had forgotten how good it can feel to meet a character you can relate so well to. At times this book had the feel of Practical Magic for me. (That is good as that book is a favorite with my girls and me.) I'm not big on books I love being made for the screen. It is so iffy on how they will turn out that it scares me. However this is a series that I think would be truly fun to see made for the screen. I laughed way too often reading this book. It has definitely made my list of favorite reads for this year.
There are mature scenes though nothing explicit in this book for those who want that information.

Patreon is a great way to support what I do – it's a subscription service for artists.
Starting at three dollars a month, you'll see (and have the opportunity to own) new work first! You'll also peruse sketchbooks going back to when I was a pre-teen, and higher levels give you access to more (as I scan them, of course). It's rare that an artist self-records, in order, her progress from barely holding a pencil to successful creative.
If you love my work, my stories, or my shenanigans (which you can see at Facebook), Patreon ensures that at least my health insurance is taken care of.
Most of all, you become a Patron of the Arts, and you let me know that what I put into the world is truly valued.

The world's largest gathering of international dignitaries is being held this week at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City! Over the next week we will be introducing some of the people behind the scenes of the UN General Assembly who make what has been called the World Cup of Diplomacy happen! Over the course of the series we'll get a firsthand glimpse into various departments within the UN and how they prepare for some of the busiest weeks of the year at the United Nations.
Journalists and correspondents play a critical role as the eyes and ears of the general public and cover a wide range of issues for their media outlets, both traditional and digital. During the General Debate of the UN General Assembly more than 3000 accredited journalists are on hand to cover the two week period in which every speech has the potential to be breaking news. It's a hectic time for the journalists responsible for informing their audiences about what is happening on the multilateral stage and they have to stay up to the minute not only on the General Debate, but hundreds of side events and activities taking place on the margins of the General Assembly Hall.
Yoshita Singh, Chief Correspondent for the Press Trust of India at the UN, took time to speak with us about what makes covering the UN General Assembly as a journalist so special, including some of the challenges and the moments she witnessed at the UN General Assembly that will stay with her forever.

No point in waxing nostalgic over old New Year's greeting cards… Things change. Fact of life. Yes, when I was a school girl, sending Shana Tova cards was quite a project (only it wasn't referred to as a project, nor an enterprise or an assignment). We walked into the center of town, to our favorite bookshop or kiosk, that now had a table laid out with an enormous selection of cute, small cards with matching envelopes: with and without cherubs and doves, with and without silver or gold sparkles. You had to choose carefully, which you'd send to whom, how much you'd spend, how many plain ones you needed and how many fancy ones. Anyone from my generation, growing up in Israel when I did, remembers this, and I'm sure it's been documented in various novels, short stories, newspaper articles.
So, if there's no point in pining for Old Times, what am I complaining about?
I'm complaining about the other extreme: Sending one Shana Tova greeting to your entire list of Contacts, Friends, or Customers, or your entire Address Book. By email or by texting (SMS, to Israelis.)
I know it's efficient. I know you simply don't have the time to send an individual email greeting to each. I know that most of the people who include me in their Shana Tova mailing list do indeed mean it, and do indeed think of me not only on Rosh Hashana. Still, it simply doesn't have the same impact. No matter how clever and original your copywriting, it's still impersonal, and I have not gotten used to it.
Do I have a solution? Not exactly... not as such. I've become so upset by this phenomenon in the past couple of years that I've stopped sending greetings altogehter. I phone some people; I send a few personal emails; I enclose a real, tangible card when sending, say, an invoice/receipt or any other bit of correspondence that requires the use of snail-mail; and of course I reply to the greetings I receive by email. Because, as I said, the senders are my friends who truly wish me well and whom I really want to wish a Happy [Jewish] New Year. But I just can't bring myself to create and send a mass message.
Hope I haven't offended my friends. I'll probably get my comeuppance next year, when my friends will say, "Well, ma'am, if that's the way you feel about it, no problem, I'll just delete your name from the list." And I'll be the only person in Israel not getting any New Year greetings, and shall feel very forlorn…
I wonder whether there's an in-between method. How would that work?
- First of all, either phone or send a paper greeting card to elderly people who don't have a computer and/or computer skills.
- Next, prepare one e-greeting for family. If you don't have too huge a family, you can even give their names in the body of the email, and/or make the text a bit more specific, e.g., Sweetie – may your enterprise flourish, Honeybunch – knock their socks off, Baby – enjoy your new job/apartment, Auntie – hope you can go back to running this year; and so forth.
- Stage three – prepare one text for friends in Israel, wherein you can allude to local issues; and a slightly different text for friends abroad, wherein you can express your hope of their coming to visit you in Israel next year (or not).
- Stage four – a text for customers, both current and prospective. Should be easy to wish them success in their business ventures, with the implied hope that they count you in and send some work your way. And a separate text for colleagues, who have helped you in the past and whom you wish to thank and wish well.
- Stage five – well, anyone else who has not been included in the previous categories, but whom you do not wish to leave out.
Does this sound like a lot of work?... Almost as time-consuming as going into town and hand-picking paper cards, addressing them and sticking on stamps?... Aw, shucks! I guess it's time I got used to the mass e-greetings.
Thank you, my friends, for thinking of me. Shana Tova to all.

Okay, so now I'm doing this thing which I'm calling 'Marilyn Packages' where you get a short fanfic, bonus, maybe jokes or memes and other little treats. A package is released every week, so thanks for ordering! Stay Miraculous!
It was a bright Saturday morning. The park was full of kids, the streets were almost empty and the bakery was busy. So was Adrien's father, as usual. As for Adrien, he was in his room, watching a recent video on the Ladyblog.
Alya: (On the Ladyblog) Hey everybody, it's me, Alya. And today I present a new video of Ladybug and Chat Noir saving the day again! *video of Chat Noir being heroic* Wait, where's Ladybug? *Chat Noir defeats the bad guys and the police arrive* That's odd. But Chat Noir saved the day again! Stay connected! *video ends*
Adrien: Even Ladybug didn't come today. I feel like the most invisible person in the world today.
Plagg: I can see you just fine.
Adrien: I mean nobody's paying attention to me. Father promised to join me for breakfast and didn't show up. Ladybug didn't come today. Nino's phone died so I can text him either. You're the only one who's listening to me today, Plagg.
Plagg: I'm here for ya, Adrien. Literally and gladly. *cute cat smile* Have you ever considered getting a pet?
Adrien: My dad didn't even let me have a birthday party, what makes you think he'll get me a pet?
Plagg: You're lonely. You need love. That's very obvious. Try asking Natalie. She's practically your godmother.
Adrien: I could try... But what pet should we get? A dog, hamster, cat, fish, bird..... wait no, cross out bird, I'm allergic to feathers.
Plagg: Puppy. I love puppies! They're cute.
Adrien: Wouldn't a puppy need attention?
Plagg: Yeah. You can take him out for walks and get out of your house more often. We could also train the puppy to do cool tricks and stuff.
Adrien: Okay then. A puppy it is.
Plagg: I prefer German Shepherd or Pomeranian. I've experienced living with both so I suggest one of them.
Adrien: Which breed do you think will suit me best?
Plagg: Pomeranian. They're smart and cute. A lot like Ladybug. So you won't feel too lonely.
Adrien: Okay then. Pomeranian puppy. I'll see what I can do.
Later on...
At lunch time, Adrien is eating alone again. Natalie comes by to inform him about his father's absence again.
Adrien: Um, Natalie? I was wondering if... you could ask father if I could... get a pet?
Natalie: Oh um.. sure. I'll see to it.
Adrien: Thank you!
8 days later....
Adrien hadn't heard from his father yet. He kept asking Natalie every day. But she just told him that his father was thinking about it and hasn't decided yet.
Plagg: You okay, kid?
Adrien: I guess so. It's like my father doesn't even hear me sometimes. I cant hear him either. And even if I want to talk to him, it's through Natalie. He's so.... invisible. I know he has a big company, but he can't be running around doing business the whole day.
Plagg: Sometimes I wonder if he's hiding something. Also I did have a theory that he was Hawkmoth, but I dismissed it when he was akumatized.
Adrien: We all had that theory once. *sigh* I just wish we can spend more time together...
(Plagg hides)
Adrien: Come in.
To his surprise, his father comes in. He still has his professional gait and face. He came up to Adrien, who was actually standing near the windows.
Adrien: Father?
Gabriel: Listen, Adrien. I'm... sorry.
Adrien: Huh? For what?
Gabriel: (apologetically) I'm sorry for... everything. I haven't been spending enough time with you since... your mother disappeared. I understand that you miss her. However I can't neglect the business either. I have a lot of work that still has to be done. To make up for my absence, I decided to get you a new friend. Natalie, bring him in, please.
Natalie walks in with a big white box with a red satin ribbon on it. There were holes in one of the sides of the box and there was something moving inside.
Adrien gasped. Plagg was smiling from the foosball table where he was hiding in the goal. Gabriel took the box from Natalie. She was smiling warmly too. So was Gabriel. He set down the box in front of Adrien.
Gabriel: Go ahead, open it.
Adrien: *breathlessly opens the box*
Immediately a small white snowball leaped out. Adrien caught the snowball and realized that is wasn't snow. The thing looked much like a fox, but it was tiny, white and fuzzy. It had three dots on its face, the eyes and the nose. It was a Pomeranian puppy! He was only a little bigger that Plagg himself, who was 10 centimeters tall. The puppy panted and yelped at Adrien. Adrien was as radiant as the sun in joy. Plagg's jaw fell as he fell in love with the puppy. Finally Adrien caught his breath.
Adrien: Thank you, Father! *hugs him with one arm and holds the puppy with the other*
Gabriel: *hugs him back and smiles*
After the hug breaks.
Natalie: Sir, there's still one important task left to do. It's very urgent. I think it's best if taken care of immediately.
Gabriel: *sighs* I need to take care of this. Will this puppy be happy with you?
Adrien: Yes. Can you come for dinner today, please?
Gabriel: Of course.
Natalie: Sir, I meant we need to name the puppy. It is important, isn't it? *grin*
Gabriel: Oh of course! That is urgent! So what shall we name your brother, Adrien?
Adrien: Uh.... how about......... Felix?
Gabriel: That's a wonderful name, Adrien!
Natalie: Felix. It's music to my ears!
Adrien: Thank you, father! Thanks you, Natalie! Thank you so much! *pets Felix*
(Felix sniffs his hand and licks it)
Felix: Arf! Arf!
Gabriel: I'll send his stuff up soon. He'll be your roommate from now on.
When Gabriel and Natalie leave (both still smiling), Plagg files out to meet Felix. He lands on Adrien's shoulder and cocks his head at Felix. Adrien puts Felix down on his bed. Plagg and Felix sit face to face and stare at each other curiously. Plagg tilted his head to one side. Felix imitated. Plagg lifted his tail. Felix imitated him. Finally, Felix approches Plagg and sniffs him. Plagg sniffs him too. It was a funny sight. After a while, Adrien burst out laughing and Plagg was sitting on Felix's back.
Plagg: We'll get along just fine! And he like camembert too! Look! *gets a piece* Here boy! *feeds Felix the cheese*
Felix: *happily eats the cheese* Arf! *nuzzles Plagg in affection*
Plagg: Awww! *impossibly huge smile*
So for the rest of the afternoon, Adrien, Plagg and Felix play together as the warm light of sunset fills the room, making it glow in happiness.
The End
Bonus story continuation
At school, Adrien's bag starts moving around on its own. It makes weird noises and keeps jumping. Suddenly, it bursts open and Felix comes flying out with Plagg in his mouth. Plagg immediately freezes and acts like a dog toy. Felix drops Plagg and sniffs and pokes him. Everyone sees the adorable puppy running around the classroom.
Adrien: Get him!
Everyone dives to catch Felix, but he's too fast. In the confusion, Adrien grabs Plagg and hides him. Finally, Marinette catches Felix in an interesting manner.
Marinette: *takes out a macaron* Here puppy! Come to the treat!
Felix: Arf arf ar- ?? Arf! *stops and scurries over to Marinette* *sniffs her* *takes the macaron and eats it* Arf! *jumps onto Marinette's lap and nuzzles*
Marinette: Awww. *pats Felix and calms him down* He's adorable! Here. *gently passes Felix to Adrien*
Adrien: Thanks. *keeps petting Felix to calm him down*
Ms. Bustier: Adrien, why was there a puppy in your bag?
Adrien: Oh, this is Felix. He must have sneaked into my bag when I wasn't looking. I'm sorry.
Ms. Bustier: He's very adorable!
Everyone in class was looking at Felix and smiling at how cute he is.
Adrien: I guess I'll call my driver to take him home.
Felix: *suddenly leaps onto Marinette's table and yelps* Arf, arf! *licks Marinette*
Marinette: Hehe, stop it! That tickles! He's in no hurry to get home.
Ms. Bustier: Does anyone have any allergy to dogs?
Everyone: No.
Ms Bustier: Umm, Adrien. It's the middle of the day and I'm sure your driver must be tired. How about you keep him with you until you go home? How does that sound?
Adrien: Really? Of course! Thank you! Come here, Felix.
Felix: *sitting between Marinette and Alya on the table* Arf!
Adrien: Wow! He really likes you, Marinette. Is it okay if he stays with you a little while? Marinette: Sure! Be good, Felix. (pets him)
Felix: *sits up and faces the front of the class*
Ms. Bustier: Okay then, let's continue. *teaches*
Felix sits and listens to the class the whole time, as if he were a student too. So that day, Felix made a new friend, Adrienette happened again and the day was well.
The End!
And a bonus dog meme! 😆

Contracts approved for winter services in Plainfield
Madhu Mayer | 10/5/2016, 4 p.m.
A flake of snow has yet to fall, but the Village of Plainfield is gearing up for the ugly aspect of winter.
The Plainfield Village Board Monday awarded contracts for snow removal services, as well as purchased up to 6,000 tons of road salt at an unit price of $45.58 ton, totaling $273,480.
After receiving applications from area contractors, Allen Persons, public works director, said the village selected eight contractors, many based in Plainfield, Rockdale and Yorkville, to complete the work. He said having eight contractors gives the village quick accessibility for snow removal throughout the community.
"The village has utilized outside contractors to assist with snow removal, as needed, for many years," said Persons. "This policy has generally improved services in a cost-efficient manner. This year, the snow removal contracts have been updated in an effort to more effectively deal with winter events in the future."
So far, Persons said the village has budgeted sufficient funds for snow removal and deicing operations. Each contractor will be paid for services provided based on the agreed to hourly rates, which range from $45 to $180 depending on the type of equipment used to remove snow. The more snow there is to remove from village streets, the higher the cost as heavier equipment like a tractor will have to be utilized. These hourly rates are the same as the last winter season, and the village will only pay for actual work completed, he added.
As for the 2016-2017 road salt purchase, Persons said the village has participated in a state program where Illinois secures the buy for Plainfield. Thankfully, according to Persons, the sate made changes to the bidding process, which resulted in this year's bid being 27 percent lower than last year's price.
"It is also the lowest price that we have been offered in over eight years," said Persons.
Village Administrator Brian Murphy said he remembers a time when a ton of salt cost $107. In a typical winter, the Village of Plainfield uses about 4,000 to 5,000 tons of salt to deice snow. Plainfield has about 1,000 tons of salt left over from last year's mild winter season.

CONFESSIONS OF A SUGAR DADDY has a lot of truth intertwined within the fictional embellishments in the story's narrative. The writing is by Chase Montgomery, the Sugar Daddy, while he sits in a death-row cell in a Florida prison. He tells us in narrative form and in scenes from the beginnings of his life when he was first sexually abused by his horny and unattractive babysitter to his own abusing of his first girlfriend during his youth to the string of later girlfriends, prostitutes and even a dominatrix: each female, from his legitimate relationships to his nonlegitimate Sugar Babies to his last live-in Sugar Baby arrangement in Florida where he ended up after leaving New Jersey. It's the result of his last disastrous relationship with a college-age student. In Florida he sets up housekeeping with his last Sugar Baby, plus his live-in butler/man servant who is young enough to be attractive to Chase's Sugar Baby. It's his big mistake. The Sugar Baby and the male servant end up plotting to eliminate Chase in order to take over what he has for themselves as a couple. Chase becomes aware of it and in a fit of rage, while witnessing them making love in his house, yet, he shoots both of them dead and then meekly turns himself in to the county sheriff's department. The story ends with him in his cell writing the last of his comments on his life as he waits for word of his clemency appeal from the governor. If he doesn't get the pardon, he knows what's in store for him, an injected chemical cocktail that's intended to kill him, like a dog being put to "sleep" in some veterinarian's office.
Confessions of a Sugar Daddy isn't a direct sequel to Sugar Daddies 101, but it surely is related since it comes out of the author's research in the intriguing field of Sugar Daddies and their Sugar Babbies and what is all wrong about their sordid relationships.

A DeLorean DMC-12 in excellent condition is being sold by V8 Werk in Bärenstein, Germany.
A DeLorean DMC-12 in excellent condition is being sold by V8 Werk in Bärenstein, Germany.
Famous primarily for its role as a time machine in the "Back to the Future" movie franchise, the DeLorean DMC-12 features a stainless steel body with gullwing doors and a fiberglass underbody. Less than 9,000 units were ever made during the model's production run between 1981 and 1983 at a factory located southwest of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
One of the last cars assembled is now available for €56,900 and judging by the attached images it seems to be in great condition for a car which is 32 years old. The seller says more than €15,000 have been invested during restoration, including a new braking system, door seals and an AC compressor.
This particular DMC-12 was driven for just 13,183 miles (21,215 km) and has the original rear-mounted V6 2.8-liter engine developing 129 bhp (96 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 207 Nm (153 lb-ft) at 2,750 rpm. It's the version equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, but DeLorean also sold the model with a three-speed automatic transmission.

Physicians, nurses, sponsors, auditors, statisticians, and federal and nonfederal regulatory bodies carefully monitor the actual conduct and safety of protocols. This means that different groups are reviewing the safety and progress of each protocol on a regular basis. If any of these groups determine that there is a concern with how the study is conducted, the study will stop.
Each clinical research trial is different. Each trial tries to find answers to a specific question. Researchers must follow strict rules to decide who may take part in research. Not everyone with the disease or problem that is being studied can take part in a research study. If your doctor thinks that you might qualify for a study, he or she may ask if you want to take part. Many patients also look for research studies on their own through websites or support groups. If you have questions about whether you would be a qualified candidate to be enrolled in one of our current trials please contact our clinical research department.
To be included in research, you must agree to take part. You may drop out of a research study at any time, even if you already agreed to participate.

Compensation will typically be in the form of a gift card, preloaded debit card, discounted services and/or medication.

Burmester has un-veiled a new pair of massive speaker! The C500 Concept speakers are a remarkable piece of German engineering and the first words that come out of listeners mouths when hearing it is, "The Power!" These massive speakers weigh in at 500 kilos each and require a crane to be moved and are currently in the concept and prototype phase with a goal of a release date by the end of this year.
The C500's have two modes, pure mode and party mode(seen left). In pure mode the speakers are optimized for a seated listening position; how most audiophiles likely have their home audio set-up. In pure mode, or "audiophile mode," the C500's utilize a 3-way bass reflex side firing system to give the most pure and optimized sound possible to the seated listener.
Now, when you want to utilize the party mode the side firing speakers are swung out so that the bass drivers are pointing directly at your listeners and the front panel extends up along the aluminum frame. The full power of the C500's are directed at your party which even at low volumes you can feel the power of the speakers.
There are two woofers with a diameter of 38cm(15″) and two midrange drivers with ultralight, extremely stiff cone and a powerful magnet system. Each woofer sits in a seperate elaborately reinforced single compartment.
The C500's are also equipped with Air motion transformers (4 x 14cm2) which reproduce the high frequencies at the finest possible resolution and incredible love for detail.
The high and midrange drivers are embedded into the massive aluminium front which is nearly two meters high!
With an extremely solid frame these come in at over 500 kilos and require a crane to move around. The woofers are mounted in a rotatable body which is detached from the rest of the speaker cabinet. The well engineered construction principle enables the loudspeaker to be played in the differently tuned modes.
There are 4 handcrafted bassreflex tubes made of low-loss, double-walled porcelain. These tubes are made by our partners KPM Konigliche Porzallan-Manufaktur Berlin. The company has over 250 years of experience with building and managing porcelain and were brought on to create a unique component which is perfect in form and function and peerless in design. The solidity of the overall construction ensures minimal vibrations on an unprecedented level and the smooth surface of the material minimizes acoustic losses and flow noises occurring in the sub low frequency range.
The C500's currently have no set price and are still in the prototype and concept phase, though you can most certainly expect that these will replace the B100's as the reference speaker and most certainly will be more expensive. The expected release is by the end of this year! More information is certainly to come and we will be letting our readers know more as it comes, keep in the know by following our Burmester of North America Facebook and Rutherford Audio Facebook feeds.

The post National Honey Bee Day 2017 Recap appeared first on Beepods.
To be updated with the latest information in the apiculture industry to may visit our apiculture latest news. On the other hand in case you are new to apiculture and desire to begin professional beekeeping now get a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other activity, has its dos and don'ts. Start beekeeping generally involves the gear that is needed and buying bees. Yet, some people who are beginning this avocation generally make a few mistakes. It is okay to make mistakes, and this article can help new beekeepers prevent making exactly the same mistakes others have previously.
Here are three errors which every beekeeper should avert:
1. Not understanding the best time to begin avocation or a beekeeping business can end up being a calamity. It may lead to some lack of cash and your bees. Winter is the worst possible time to begin, since most bees die during the wintertime. This would drive a beekeeper to buy a brand new batch of bees, which would cost more money. Fall is another inferior time since there are fewer flowers, thus a smaller amount of honey picked to start beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which will be the time of the year where there are plenty of blooming flowers.
2. Purchasing used equipment and old books. This really is a familiar error made by many start beekeepers. Buying used equipment and old beekeeping novels is not a good idea, although it is understandable that one would want to save money as much as possible. First, used equipment can come with "familial" issues. The extractor factory outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife might not be sharp enough to uncap all the wax. This would surely change the quality of one's honey, which isn't an ideal scenario particularly if a beekeeper is intending to start a honey-selling company. Second, old books can supply information that is aged on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the traditional method when there are quicker and better means manufacture honey and to keep beehives.
3. Refraining from buying protective gear. Think about this. He/she'll come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers stuck to their body, if one doesn't wear protective equipment when handling the hives and amassing the honeycombs. Protective gear is pricey, yes, but it is going to help beekeepers avoid spending medical bills.
These three blunders happen to be presented here to help they are avoided by future beekeepers. It's best to consult with a specialist beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If purchasing a particular item seems too expensive, constantly consider the ending price (if they don't buy this item now, will it cost them more later on?). In the long run, it is up to the person to decide the best strategy.

In recent year, with the development of the worldwide power industry and voltage levels, the capacity and level of power transformers are increasing. The HVDC system is becoming very popular and its safe operation of high capacity converter transformers is related to the security of entire grid. Meanwhile, transformer oil and paper are vital essential parts of EHV and UHV transformers, and oil–paper insulation is also commonly used in large power transformers. As a bridge between AC and DC transmission systems, the valve side of the main insulation in the converter transformer under normal conditions should have considerable ability to withstand the AC and DC voltages. Due to the imbalance of permittivity and resistivity in mass dielectrics such as the transformer oil, pressboard, and others, the interface between the dielectrics will accumulate charge (Wada et al., 2006; Yang et al., 1997; Xu et al., 2016; Hanaoka et al., 2002). When the power flow of the system is reversed or a sudden outrage occurs, the local electric strength of the dielectrics will have a serious distortion, most likely leading to the occurrence of discharge or insulation damage. Owing to the fact that the flashover breakdown field strength along the oil–paper interface direction is lower than the bulk field strength which is vertical to the interface, surface discharge can occur easily, and will cause power failures. So the effect of the interface charge on oil–paper insulation becomes the topic of focus (Huang et al., 2014).
Oil–paper insulation dielectrics are complex combinations of solid–liquid two–phase morphology, and the injection, transport, accumulation, attenuation characteristics and mechanism of space charge are not entirely clear yet. These characteristics are closely associated with aging and damage mechanisms and directly affect the variation in electrical performance and insulation life of oil–paper insulating dielectrics. Direct-fluorination is a method to modify the chemical constituents of the material which possess the advantage of alternating the surface property only and leaving little modification on the essential property of the matrix, and thus, has been widely applied in many areas (Yi et al., 2015; Saulnier et al., 2013; Charlet et al., 2015; Prorokova et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2009). In recent years, researches have focused on the paper applied in transformers for improved dielectric properties (Chen et al., 2014; Zhuge et al., 2015). However, most studies on direct-fluorination have concentrated on the chemical stability, wettability, mechanical strength, etc. Few researches discussed the effect on electrical property after the treatment. In recent research, efforts have been paid on the surface modification of insulation material for improvement on the dielectric property.
Moreover, the oil applied in transformers is highly refined mineral oil which performs dual functions of insulating and cooling materials. The oil fills up the pores in the fibrous insulation thus affecting the dielectric property of oil-paper insulation system and increasing the breakdown strength. For thermal property the oil carries away the heat generated during normal operation by conduction and convention (IEEE, 1995). The miniaturization and higher voltage of electric devices have brought new challenge to traditional transformer oil. New type of transformer oil with enhanced dielectric property and high thermal conductivity is in urgent need. In recent years, many researchers have been concentrated on preparing nano-oil by dispersing nanoparticles into transformer oil and measuring the electrical property (Mansour et al., 2012; Atiya et al., 2015; Du et al., 2012; Zhong et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2011; Lv et al., 2014). However, most studies on nano-modified transformer oil have been limited to the dielectric property or thermal property only. Very few researchers have considered developing a type of nano-oil with improved properties of both breakdown strength and thermal conductivity, and investigating the relation between the thermal conductivity and the dielectric property.

It is of coiled construction, as can be seen on the center of the bottom, and was decorated by the potter using their fingernails to create small regular impressions in the overlapping clay coils before the pot was fired. This style of decoration has become known as corrugated. The interior is smooth and there are small firing clouds on the body and rim, typical of Southwest Native American prehistoric and historic pottery.
This piece is intact with no restoration. There are two old chips to the top exterior rim, one small and one a bit larger (1 x 3/8).The bottom and sides show worn down surfaces from ancient use. The surfaces have an old patina and the indents of the corrugated design have an almost black encrustation in places. Please note that the photographs show the piece a bit more red in color than it actually is. When viewed in person it appears to be a bit more grayish. I bought this piece about 25 years ago from an estate of a collector of Native American pottery in the Castro District of San Francisco.
I dont know the collectors name and have no other information or provenance to relay. This piece will be double-boxed and carefully packed for safe arrival to its new owner.AGE: Circa 1000 - 1400 AD. SIZE: Height - 6.75 (17.5 cm) / Diameter - 8.25 (21 cm). CONDITION: Good ancient condition, as shown in the photos and with the following noted: No restoration noted. Two old small chips to the rim. Surface has wear, as shown.
Rare intact example of Prehistoric Native American pottery. This piece will be a museum quality addition to any collection of Native American Indian Art and will display beautifully in any Mid Century Modern, Art Deco, Southwest, Western, Santa Fe - Taos Style, Modernist, or Arts and Crafts decor. Look carefully at all the photos to view the details and condition of the piece. This object comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
The item "Prehistoric Anasazi Native American Pottery Olla-Seed Jar/ Tularosa New Mexico" is in sale since Monday, November 16, 2015. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\Native American\ US\Pre-1600\Pottery".The seller is "antiques-art" and is located in Ben Lomond, California.

So we go to the next restaurant called Vita. There is hardly anyone there.
We head to the rooftop.
And it is empty except for us and another table of two women.
It is hot and fortunately there are some mist devices up on the roof to keep our bodies very cool.
We start of with some orange juice – excuse me – some mimosas.
And then I get the vegetarian benedict. It is delicious.
Later on we start talking to the other table near us and we invite them over to join us and meet Jenn from California and Allison from Chicago. Bill and Laura moved to Denver from Chicago too so we bond and make friends. It also turns out that Bill and Laura and Jen have a friend in common.
After bunch we go back home. I pack up the rest of my gear and we head out to a park: Cheesman Park relax and enjoy the weather, sun, and peace of the park.
A picnic in the park has to have cheese and crackers.
It quickly approaches 5 PM and I have to head out to Longmont to see Jude a friend from college. I say my goodbyes to Bill and Laura. They have been fantastic hosts and I have had a wonderful time in Denver. I'm seriously considering moving there. It is in my top three. Thank you Bill and Laura… you are amazing friends.

Social enabling: Helping tap untapped resources
Why do some countries with poor soil conditions produce more than some with better soil conditions? Generally speaking, the areas with the highest agricultural yields are not the places with the best climate and soil quality, but the places with the best social enabling environment. Examples of such social enabling factors – which go along way in determining whether a farmer can achieve the full potential of soil, skills and climate – are government policies, the functioning of and access to agricultural markets, access to finance, access to knowledge, and public expenditure on agricultural research and development.
Scientists contend that we could produce a European-style diet for double the 9 billion global population that is expected by 2050. One continent with vast potential is Africa, which is home to six of the world's 10 fastest growing economies over the last decade. But the right social enabling factors are crucial.
Social enabling numbers
- 75% of the world's poor live in rural areas in developing countries, but only 4% of development support goes to agriculture
- Europe has higher farming yields than the Americas, despite having lower quality soil
- East Asia has high yields despite a low soil quality, thanks to a favourable climate and use of subsidised fertilisers
- Argentina has the best soil and a good climate but is not reaching its potential due to the negative impact of agricultural policies such as export taxes

Motor Current Signature Analysis (MSA) is one of the testing tools used to assess motor health, reliability and predictive maintenance. This tool allows professionals to establish a baseline and trend for P-F curve intervention to reduce motor failure and production downtime. The ideal tester should have the ability to do dynamic and static testing that is mean dynamic on line testing power quality, inrush current, current, voltage imbalance etc., This will also allow for testing polarization index resistive and inductive imbalances, quality control checks after receiving motors from repair. Other test than can be done through MSA include eccentricity air gap, rotor influence, etc. The important thing to remember is to identify your critical motors and size of motors on all nameplate data and to see if it is reasonable and economical to implement this tactic, as the MSA can be expensive and their needs to be an return on investment (RO) justification.
Motors like the 900 HP, 1100 HP, 1500 HP, 3500 HP, and 14000 HP are worthy of collecting data under this program for CBM. I've found that even in small motors such as the 350 HP, which are critical for production, are also worthy to monitor to ensure the capacity of plant. If you cannot have this testing done in house, then you can contract these services to electrical companies.
The MSA is a great tool for testing and troubleshooting various fault zones, including power quality, power circuit, harmonics, stator, rotor, air gap and insulation. In general the motor faces four stresses: 1.Thermal, 2. Electrical, 3. Mechanical, 4. Environmental. With MSA, you will be able to check each one.
Is it possible to conduct MCSA on a critical motor which is VFD driven ?? For VFD Driven critical motors what is your recommendation for online monitoring ??

Setting goals and targets
Did you know that in Odoo you can set goals and targets to staff members? What better way to improve productivity than to be able to define criteria based around roles that is measured and reported. Setting goals and targets is a means of motivation as well as performance management and the results can be published in a leader-board and/or individuals notified via alerts of their progress to date.
Typically sales-people are the easiest to track as their direct measurement is amount of sales (or margin on sales) over a given period of time (usually a month). However Odoo enables users to set other types of performance measurement including ratios of days sales outstanding (for an accounts receivable staff member), time to respond to tickets (for a support person) and time from order processing to dispatch for warehouse employees.
Better still, rewards can be generated to give staff that feeling of accomplishment.
To create a goal or target first you need to enable the 'employee directory' and 'gamification' modules. Then you go to the employee directory app and under the 'challenges' tab create your rules. From here you assign who you want to assign the challenge to, the goals criteria (target amounts, timing…), the reward and other details such as reporting and notifications. Challenges can have start and end dates applied or can be ongoing.
From here the selected employees to which the challenge has been assigned will be notified of progress (completeness of challenge) and also be able to view challenge history and awards received.
Please contact us for a demonstration of this feature or to discuss your requirements around performance measurement and reporting.
