This year, Chinese tourism in Thailand is up 90%. Twenty and 30 years ago, the largest tourist groups in Asia were Europeans and Americans. Today, the Chinese dominate. This is an example of how the center of economic gravity is shifting to Asia from the Western countries.
Asian hotel and casino companies are
beneficiaries. A conservative way to play the local travel boom is to
buy shares of airline caterers or aircraft-maintenance companies. In

Story 4 – Stories of the Valiant
When you are at peace with two peoples who are at war, you must choose your side.
He came from the mountain in the plains of Esdraelon, running for his life. He came to me for refuge because of the peace between our families. I left my tent and called to him, "Captain! Come. Come in, and don't be afraid."
He entered my dwelling and fell upon his knees, shattered by the chase. He was out of breath, and his eyes darted about in terror. In them I could read what he was thinking: His armies were gone, every man of them killed. He was the last—their captain, he was the last!
I drew a blanket over his huddled figure. He looked up at me with his wild eyes, sunk into his drawn face, and said, "Please…Give me water. I am…so thirsty."
I could have given him what he requested, but I placed the skin of milk in his hand instead, the cream risen, smooth and silken, to the top. He drank of the milk until his thirst was quenched, and I covered him once more.
I heard it in his sigh: His weakened body was giving way to the lulling effects of the rich cream.
"Guard the door," he slurred, commanding, "That way if they come seeking me, you will stop them and tell them you haven't seen me here."
Sleep claimed him then.
I stood at the entrance as he slept and withdrew a spike that secured the cords of my house. Approaching him softly, my hammer in my right hand, I heard his heavy breathing. Nothing could have pulled him out of that torpor. Nothing.
I drove the tent nail through his temple and into the ground.
"Come," I called to his enemy, when he came in search of the dead captain. "I will show you the man you're looking for."
It was I to whom the LORD sent the last man standing. To me, Jael, was given the honor of taking down Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army and the enemy of God's people.
Sisera, the captain of the armies of Jabin, king of Hazor, went to Jael, the wife of a Kenite, for refuge. She killed him with a tent nail to his temple after giving him milk to drink when he requested water (Judges 4:15-22). Deborah, the judge of Israel, prophesied to Barak, the captain of the Israelite army, that the honor of the battle would not go to him–that Sisera would be delivered into the hand of a woman (Judges 4:9). They sang of Jael in Judges 5:24-27, and how she killed Sisera.

MacKay Creek has been the focus of much of Echo Ecological's work over the past several years. We initially started the restoration process for this site at the mouth of the creek, where it connects to Burrard Inlet. Following that, we have been slowly making our way up the creek and restoring the riparian area as we go. In 2016/17, we received funding from the Habitat Stewardship Program to focus on restoration activities along the banks of the creek south of 1rst Street W, North Vancouver.
West bank completed fall 2016
The west bank of MacKay Creek was severely impacted by an immense amount of english ivy strangling mature trees and covering many native shrubs. This was the primary invasive that was tackled in this section of the restoration project and removal efforts were quite successful.
Throughout the span of our project, we removed a total of 6.5 tonnes of invasive vegetation. This took 3 truck loads, as well as two 30-yard bins. The District of North Vancouver aided us in some of the removal efforts by providing the in-kind use of their truck and trailer.
During restoration efforts, numerous species of fungus were found on site. Fungi species aid in improving soil health and are becoming more commonly used at restoration sites.
During the fall of 2016, we conducted weekly in-stream spawner surveys for returning salmonids. We completed several surveys between September and December. This was our first year for completing in-stream surveys and we were excited to see mature chum and coho species returning to MacKay for spawning.
East Bank invasive removal completed spring 2017
The east bank of MacKay Creek provided a greater challenge when it came to removing invasives from this area. Access was more difficult and the spread of invasive plants was far more extensive. In this part of the site, there was numerous types of non-native plants, including English ivy (Hedera helix), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), English holly (Ilex aquifolium) and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica).
To undertake such a large-scale restoration project, it is necessary to have a dedicated team of hard working individuals. Echo Ecological is an equal opportunity employer that hires current students and recent graduates that have educational experience related to biology, ecology or ecological restoration.
Planting March 2017
During our spring 2017 planting event, 90 trees were installed, 690 shrubs and 807 ground cover species for a total of 1587 plants.
To help us with the installation of this large number of native species, we were joined by 100 volunteers who were excited to lend a hand to help improve their local creek. The volunteers included members from the local community, the North Shore Wetland Partners, some members of the Northshore Streamkeepers, as well as many students and teachers from Bodwell High School. We really appreciated of all of their hard work!
During this season, Echo Ecological worked with Bodwell High School, Cleaveland Elementary and BCIT to cut, paint and construct nest boxes and bee houses. This was made possible by the large donation of plywood from Seaspan Shipyards. These boxes were then installed along the length of MacKay Creek and will hopefully be inhabited by mason bees, swallows and chickadees!
An important part of riparian restoration in urban areas is to manage for wildlife populations. In MacKay Creek there is the established beaver presence. In recent years they have become much more active. To prevent the beavers from using our newly planted native trees and shrubs as foraging materials, we installed beaver exclosures on all plants that might be impacted.
At any planting event there is always a sizeable collection of pots left when all the plants are in the ground. Thankfully, these pots can be delivered to the local recycling facility to be made into something new!
Following the planting event, a 2 inch thick mulch layer was installed on-site to aid in the repression of emergent weeds and to retain moisture for the new native plants.
Many hundreds of hours have been given to MacKay Creek in the last 5 years in hopes of helping to restore its functionality. Since restoration activities began in 2013, we have seen a definite increase in fish species utilizing the creek and the general public has become much more aware and interested in this area. We hope to further our work to protect MacKay Creek in the years to come and educate future generations on the importance of urban streams and their inhabitants.
Riparian areas are necessary in maintaining stream health and functioning. They provide shade during warm summer months, which reduces in-stream temperatures and creates a cool micro-climate necessary for fish health and wellness. The riparian zone also acts as a filtration system to remove urban runoff, chemicals and pollutants before they contaminate waterways. Healthy plant communities aide in providing bank stabilization through provision of root cohesion, which prevents excess amounts of sediment from entering the stream. In addition, stream-side vegetation provides food and habitat complexity for the aquatic ecosystem, as leaves, branches, and large wood often fall into the stream.
In the summer of 2015, Echo Ecological began working on a restoration project at MacKay Creek in North Vancouver, upstream of where initial estuary work had been completed through 2013-2015. This project focused on restoring the riparian zone surrounding MacKay Creek by removing the dense coverage of invasive species and re-planting the area with native vegetation. This area had been significantly disturbed, and was been used as a dump site for many years. Even though it was adjacent to the highly used North Shore Spirit Trail, it had been overlooked by the community and had become overgrown with a myriad of invasive plants.
This project worked in conjunction with another very prominent estuary restoration project that occurred along MacKay Creek in 2013/14 that was funded in part by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. MacKay creek runs along the Kings Mill Walk, the North Shore Spirit Trail and Lower MacKay Creek Park, and multitudes of people utilize these amenities on a daily basis for biking, dog walking, wildlife viewing and recreation. MacKay Creek is also a prominent salmon spawning and rearing channel on the North Shore. Chum (Oncorhynchus keta), Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) utilize this creek and have been increasing their returns since the weir was removed from the estuary in 2013. The goal of this project was to help maintain the health of the previously restored estuary, thus enhancing the area for both the community and wildlife species.
This site had previously been significantly degraded due to encroachment from waterfront heavy industry and upland urban development. The riparian area along the banks of MacKay Creek had been overrun by invasive species, resulting in poor habitat and little cover for in-stream salmonid populations. This project's goal was to restore the riparian area surrounding MacKay Creek so that it would support habitat for salmonid populations and other estuarine and riparian wildlife species.
From June to November 2015, we conducted and preformed invasive vegetation removal manually using small mechanical tools and hand tools such as brush cutters, shovels and rakes to minimize the impact to birds and wildlife present in the area.
The project area was completely inundated with several invasive vegetative species including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), English ivy (Hedera helix), Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). These species are detrimental to riparian areas as they disrupt natural ecosystem processes by out-competing native vegetation, creating a monoculture which reduces the overall biodiversity of the area. A small patch of introduced giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) was also found on site. This was particularly concerning for wildlife and human health as the sap of giant hogweed contains photosensitive chemicals that can cause permanent and painful rashes if it comes into contact with exposed skin.
A total of 870 m3 of invasive vegetative matter, including leaves, stems and roots were removed from the project area. Ten truckloads of vegetation were taken off-site for high-heat composting. The District of North Vancouver generously provided this service to the project in-kind.
Following completion of invasive vegetation removal, native trees, shrubs and herbs were planted on site. Species were selected based on site conditions such as substrate and light availability. Wildlife value and cultural significance to First Nations were also considered in plant selection.
In order to increase survivability of the newly planted vegetation, a layer of soil amender (rich organic compost) was added to the site prior to planting. The soil amender was blown throughout the planting site over the course of a day to ensure consistent soil depth. The Pacific Bark Blowers added several inches of soil amender to our project site in order to restore much needed nutrients to the soil.
Planting the at project site occurred in two phases with one planting event occurring in October 2015 and the second planting event in March 2016. During the planting events a total of 2575 native plants were planted.
To help us with this project, many volunteers lent their time and resources in hopes of restoring MacKay Creek back to its former ecological state. Students from Bodwell High School came out numerous times to help us battle against the invasive plants. The Ecological Restoration class at BCIT volunteered for a day during the planting event, aiding with the construction of beaver cages and invasive removal. Employees from the company Lafarge helped with the spring planting by putting numerous new native plants into the ground at their new MacKay home.
Beaver-tree exclosures made of galvanized steel fencing were constructed and placed around all newly planted trees, as well as many existing mature stream-side trees. This effort was undertaken to prevent the trees from becoming a food source for the local beaver population, which has been becoming increasingly prevalent along MacKay Creek in recent years.
Once the exclosures were successfully installed, a mulch layer was deposited around the site as a means of preventing invasives from re-establishing. Mulch minimizes the re-growth of invasive plants, but also allows the soil to retain more moisture and helps moderate the ground temperature. Mulch also increases the aesthetic of a planting area, as it creates a more natural look than bare soil.
This project was completed between June 2015 to the end of March 2016.
To date, the habitat enhancement activities at MacKay Creek have been a success. Invasive vegetation and garbage has been removed from the project area, providing a safer and healthier area for native plants, birds, wildlife and humans. Many native plant species have been planted, further enhancing the area and improving ecosystem benefits. In addition to the advantages for fish populations, increased riparian health will also allow for small mammal species and numerous bird populations to have greater usage of this area. Existing and newly planted trees have been caged to protect them from beaver and human impacts, guaranteeing long-term protection and growth. All of these activities on the creek ensure it will be a greater long-term asset to the community. Improved ecological functioning will provide individuals with more wildlife viewing possibilities, and additional educational opportunities for years to come.
In future years we plan to expand the project area and continue with invasive vegetation removal and native species planting. This will provide local fish, birds and wildlife with opportunities to increase their range and have greater success finding shelter, food and nesting/rearing areas. We plan to continue to organize community outreach events to inform the public on the success of the project and how they can help it continue into the future.
This work would not have been possible without the help of our many wonderful partners.
MacKay Creek Maintenance Event
Community Maintenance Events
For many of our current projects, Echo Ecological relies strongly on members of the community to help us with our restoration activities. We partner with several different community groups throughout the Lower Mainland, and work together to restore health to our creeks. As the old saying goes, 'many hands make light work' and this is definitely true when it comes to removing invasive species! A considerable amount of work is required to restore the health of a creek in an urban community. This is why we are very grateful to all of our many partners who help us to continue with the important work we do.
One of the the groups that has been supporting us since the very beginning is Bodwell High School. They are a private co-educational boarding school located on Harbourside Drive in North Vancouver. As their school boarders MacKay Creek, they have been very interested and excited about the work we have been doing there. Their environmental club has always been more than happy to come out and lend a hand on the Creek!
At the beginning of May we worked with the 31st Burnaby Girl Guides to remove scotch broom from MacKay Creek. These girls were AWESOME at finding the baby brooms and digging them out. They were on a mission trying to eradicate as many as possible. When the event was over, many girls were BEGGING to come back and help again! Now that's what we want to hear from our future generations!
Most recently, we hosted an event that had many different members of the community coming out to help. With so many adults working hard to battle the invasives at the creek, we had quite the pile to show off at the end of the event!
We are very grateful that we have so many great people that are interested in improving the health of our local creeks! Hopefully we will see you all back again in the future!

Seymour Planting
At low tide, the large log structures are easy to see. When the tide rises, the farther portions of land become completely submerged, separating the islands from each other and allowing for fish passage. The tides played a very large role in this project as we needed to align our work hours with the lowest water levels. It would have been immensely difficult to haul soil and plants to the farther islands if they were entirely separated by water!
After carefully spreading out the soil in preparation for planting, we were then able to position the plants. When they were all nicely situated with adequate spacing, our crew began putting them in the ground. Thank goodness we got some beautiful weather, as it made for a very enjoyable experience!
Once all the plants were in the ground, work began on the fencing. Beavers are common in the area, so we didn't want to give them the opportunity to munch on our babies before they had a chance to mature!
Once the riparian area was planted and fenced we set to work planting grasses into the intertidal zone. They look so lovely growing between all of the large woody debris we installed!
We got so carried away with planting that we didn't realize how close the tide had gotten. At one point we were really working against the clock to try and plant all of our grass plugs before we were totally submerged in the water. Never a dull moment!
In order to reduce predation on our grasses (Geese LOVE to eat these tasty plants!), we constructed improvised exclosures with caution tape and rope. We also made use of the installed pieces of large wood. Future testing will be done in order to determine how effective these methods are in increasing plant survival.
The completed project looks quite aesthetically pleasing compared to how barren the site was prior to restoration. Hopefully the surrounding community and all of the local dog walkers that frequent this site will appreciate all our hard work.
Seymour Estuary Restoration
For the past few weeks we have been working with BCIT and the River's Institute installing large woody debris in the Seymour River Estuary. We are only able to work during the hours surrounding the lowest tides of the day, so there has been much work effort during the night. It is challenging to work in the estuary in the dark, but it has definitely been an rewarding experience.
The work we are doing is of paramount importance for the continued health of the estuary, as it adds complexity to the stream channel, which provides habitat for salmonid species. The main body of this work includes securing logs to large boulders placed in the stream. The logs are held in place by metal cable that is glued with epoxy into deep holes which we have drilled into the boulders.
Each hole that is drilled into the boulders must be cleaned thoroughly. This ensures that the epoxy fuses to the inside of the rock instead of any dust or grit that may have accumulated inside the drill hole. This is the most important step of our work, as it is imperative to have a firm epoxy connection to ensure the log's stability (We wouldn't want to have any errant logs drifting off downstream!).
After the rock holes are cleaned, we are able to run cable through wood holes which were initially drilled in the logs and into the boulders.
Once the cable is in place, we must then epoxy the cable-ends into the boulder to complete the final step of the process. The epoxy takes about an hour to harden, so we have to make sure this step is completed well before the tide begins to submerge the logs again.
The cabling is fairly unobtrusive, so it blends in well to the natural habitat. You can barely notice we were here at all.
Hopefully the salmon will appreciate all of our hard work!!

Topic Page: Davis Cup
Annual tennis tournament for men's international teams, first held in 1900 after Dwight Filley Davis (1879–1945) donated the trophy.
The Davis Cup was held on a challenge basis up to 1971. Since then it has been organized on an elimination basis, with countries divided into zonal groups, with a promotion and relegation system.
The Davis Cup is the premier men's team event in the sport of tennis. First contested in 1900, the event allows the best players from the member nations of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) the chance to represent their country in a sport where players usually compete as individuals. The tournament was established by a Harvard University student named Dwight Davis. Davis, who at one time was the second-ranked tennis player in the country, originally intended for the match to be a competition between the United States and Great Britain. Davis commissioned a jeweler, Shreve, Crump & Low, to produce a silver trophy, and then captained the U.S. team to a victory against their British opponents during the first match in Boston. The tournament uses a terminology of its own: for example, the word rubber is used for match, and the word tie is used for a round of competition.
The United States won the first three Davis Cup matches against Great Britain, and then in 1904, teams from Belgium and France took part for the first time. The cup been contested every year since 1911, except for during World War I and World War II. In 1923, the ITF revised the structure of the competition by dividing the world into two zones— American and European—to accommodate the increasing number of teams taking part.
The four nations that host a Grand Slam event in the sport (Australia, France, Great Britain, and the United States) dominated the competition, winning all events up to 1973. However, it should be noted that in early competitions Australia competed as part of an Australasia team alongside New Zealand. For the first seven decades the Davis Cup was only a competition for amateur players, but changed to become an open event in 1973. Since 1974, a number of other nations have won the trophy, with Croatia becoming the most recent first-time victors, winning the cup in 2005. To date, 12 different nations have won the trophy; the United States holds the record for the most victories, with 32 Davis Cup titles to its name.
Over the years, the structure of the competition has changed in order to accommodate the large number of nations that now enter the competition. The most significant change occurred in 1972 when the traditional challenge round was abolished. Teams now comprise three to four players, and nations face off in a best-of-five rubber encompassing four singles and one doubles match-up over a period of three days. The 16 highest-ranked teams are assigned to the World Group and compete annually for the cup. Nations that do not play in the World Group compete in one of three regional zones (Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Europe/Africa) and the competition takes place over the course of four weekends throughout the year. The ITF determines the host countries for matches before each tournament. Nations in the World Group compete in a four-round elimination tournament and are seeded based on a ranking system. The losers of the first-round matches move to the World Group playoff round, where they play along with winners from Group I of the regional zones. The winners of this then enter the World Group for the tournament the following year, and the losers play in Group I of their regional zone.
The global financial group BNP Paribas has been the title sponsor of the event since 2002. Other companies involved as partner sponsors include Hugo Boss, Rolex, and Wilson. The Davis Cup partnership program provides each of these companies with tailored benefits enabling them to achieve their marketing and promotional goals year-round and at every Davis Cup tie. The Davis Cup is primarily shown on terrestrial television, so it allows sponsors to reach a wide audience in a number of different markets.
In 1974, South Africa won their first, and to date only, title without even playing in the final. They were due to meet India to contest the cup but the Indian government boycotted the match in protest against South Africa's system of apartheid. In 2009, the Sweden versus Israel match in Malmo was played in an empty stadium because of security concerns following a "Stop the Match" campaign against Israeli attacks on Gaza. Outside of the stadium protesters clashed with police while the two teams competed.

School choice and equality of opportunity
The schools that pupils attend have a significant impact on their educational experience, academic performance, and future life chances.
Since 1988, parents in England have been able to choose a school for their child. This parental choice is similarly well established in many other countries. However, despite its political popularity, parental choice of school and its effects is a somewhat contested field.
This study will review a wide body of international research to explore how choice-based school admissions policies affect the allocation of pupils across schools. It will focus on the extent to which school choice promotes equality of opportunity in terms of access to different types of secondary school for children from different backgrounds.
This will be an 'integrative review', encompassing both the empirical and the theoretical literature with the aim of providing clarity to a contested problem.
The overall aim is to inform policy and practice around equality of opportunity in education, by clarifying what evidence is already available and where the gaps in the evidence base are.

PMO as per Wikipedia
A project management office, abbreviated to PMO, is a group or department within a business, agency or enterprise that defines and maintains standards for project management within the organization. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects. The PMO is the source of documentation, guidance and metrics on the practice of project management and execution.
PMOs may take other functions beyond standards and methodology, and participate in Strategic project management either as facilitator or actively as owner of the Portfolio Management process. Tasks may include monitoring and reporting on active projects and portfolios (following up project until completion), and reporting progress to top management for strategic decisions on what projects to continue or cancel.
The degree of control and influence that PMOs have on projects depend on the type of PMO structure within the enterprise; it can be:
- Supportive, with a consultative role
- Controlling, by requiring compliance for example
- Directive, by taking control and managing the projects
An agile PMO. Surely such a thing exists; but then how could it? Given that in the majority of organisations a PMO has directive control.
Controlling project delivery, managing capacity, risks, documentation, progress reporting. Whilst in an agile environment, the teams are self organising; controlling their own delivery, capacity and reporting is dynamically available at any given point in time. No need for extensive project reporting.
So the question is where does a PMO fit in when transforming to an agile methodology?
People naturally are adverse to change and an agile transformation is no exception. The PMO can assist greatly in the acceptance and understanding.
Training Transforming to agile is a complete mind shift in how to approach a problem. Training individuals on the concepts and benefits. Selling the process to the teams.
Facilitating & Coaching. The scrum ceremonies have a strictly defined format and each of those rules as to how to conduct a session are there for very good reasons. The PMO can initially facilitate the sessions being careful not to drive the session, but facilitate and remind of the ceremony rules an format. Stand-ups; for example, the PMO member can attend and in fact turn his back to the circle or stand on the outside of the circle. Listening on the peripheral. Should team members not answer the three obligatory questions or get in to design detail, this is the opportunity for coaching the team to stick to the 15 minute stand-up rule and take detail off-line.
Consolidating Metrics. As it did before the PMO can collect the metrics which are now real-time and in tune with actual progress. Consolidation for reporting on an overall project or programme progress as a whole becomes that much simpler. No more asking someone for a thumb suck of the percentage complete on a task they gave you a thumb suck estimate on.
Managing the pipeline. Limiting incoming projects to capacity. Assisting the organisation management in understanding the working teams capacity and prioritizing the pipeline with this in mind.
So where does a PMO fit in when transforming to an agile methodology? (and post transformation..)
Everywhere, with the bonus of reduced operating overheads.
Advocates and trainers of the process, coaches and facilitators in the ceremonies.
Gatekeepers to enter the process
High Level Reporting
.. everywhere

Pro Gain Eyeing iTunes
Celebrated Christian rapper and record producer Pro Gain has eyes on the world's biggest music distribution platform iTunes.
Speaking with this writer on Sunday, June 03 2018 in Blantyre, the 'Ndine Mfana Mofewa' hit maker alluded to a fact that he's at the moment setting up an account on iTunes in readiness of his album that is expected to be sold on the music store when it is out later in the year.
He has just released a single 'Ame' that continues to enjoy massive airplay on local radio stations and is being downloaded prodigiously.
Malawi Heat wanted to know what's coming from Pro G in the meantime keeping in mind the album will be out in almost five months from now. "People should expect video for Amen and two more singles. Then the album will surely come," he said as if giving prophecy on the signs of the coming of his album.
With confidence and energy, the rapper outlined his plans in a way that one would only keep eyes wide open awaiting to see what Pro Gain will bring before the album.
Asked about the growth and development of Christian music as a genre, the Chancellor College graduate said he was impressed with the gains made in the genre. "The growth has been tremendous. There has been increase in numbers. That is to say upcoming artists and fans. And our genre is now at par with secular hip hop."
Listening to recent music from the talented rapper, it would be fair to conclude his tracks should have been on the global music stores by now. His lyrics and content are mature and inspiring. It could be just that he's been waiting on The Lord. As in he's been waiting "for God's time" the whole time.
In music, patience is of the essence. an artist cannot just wake up, check download statistics on Malawi Music dot com then go ahead open an account on Spotify or Amazon thinking their Malawi Music success will turn commercial. It doesn't work like that!
Local music websites offer music free of charge whereas on iTunes, Amazon etc… people literary buy music. So, a musician has to have marketing channels in order or make themselves a laughing stock when they fail to breakthrough.
That could be a reason pro gain did not rush to have his music uploaded for sale. Songs like 'Thima Ili Zii' released in 2017 and his new bubbling-sizzling hit 'Amen' could do well on big online stores
Real name King Khangamwa , Pro Gain, however, painted a gloomy picture on the business side of Christian urban music. He said: "Our secular counterparts are involving the corporate world. That's why they're making money out of their music. So, if we Christian urban musicians follow suit, things will work out."

Addressing Certificate Error Trouble on Your Computer
Internet Explorer helps to keep your information more secure by using security certificates. When there is a problem with these certificates you are alerted to that fact with a certificate error.
Symptoms of Certificate Errors
Usually when a Certificate Error occurs you are notified with a message that attempts to block the web page you are trying to access. You can ignore this message and proceed but you will then be doing so in an unsafe manner. Microsoft will alert you to this with a red address bar and a message that alerts you to the fact as well.
Cause of Certificate Errors
Many times there is no cause for a Certificate Error other than the fact that the website you are trying to visit is considered unsafe. It may be that the website is not accurately identifying itself and it may also be a problem with your compute being intercepted by a third-party server. This might be due to an incomplete Windows Update, a virus on your computer, or a registry that has allowed too many corrupt files to exist on your computer.
Addressing Certificate Errors
The first thing that should be looked at with Certificate Errors is you updates. Check and see if your latest version of Windows Updates has been completed. Even if you think it may have been you can always force a manual update as follows.
- Click on the Start Button.
- Click on the Control Panel.
- Double-Click where you see Windows Update.
- Allow Windows Updates to fully run.
- Restart computer once complete.
Should the troubles persist your computer might have a virus. In this case you can always run a complete virus scan of your entire PC deleting anything you may find.

The subject of this article or section is part of Midsummer Fire Festival, a seasonal event that lasts two weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.
- For the boss, see Ahune.
|Ice the Frost Lord
|Slay Ahune in the Slave Pens.
Ice the Frost Lord is an achievement gained by slaying Ahune. Completing this achievement is an objective of the meta achievements [The Flame Keeper] and [The Flame Warden].
Notes Edit
[83+] Ahune <The Frost Lord> is a seasonal boss located just inside the entrance of the Slave Pens. Access to him is gained by using the Dungeon Finder, and using the option Ahune the Frost Lord. Alternately, the Earthen Ring Elder offers a dialog option, "Queue for Ahune, the Frost Lord".
The Dungeon Finder option is not presented to characters under level 80, and characters under 80 using the option presented by Ahune will find themselves in a default dungeon finder queue. (For instance, characters 71-79 will find themselves in a queue for a random northrend dungeon.)

Earlier: Philly Fed Manufacturing Survey showed "Continued Growth" in October
Earlier from the Philly Fed: October 2017 Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey
Manufacturing firms reported continued growth in regional manufacturing in October. The survey's current indicators for general activity, new orders, shipments, and employment all remained positive this month. Both of the survey's current labor market indicators showed notable improvement. The indexes assessing the six-month outlook suggest that firms remained optimistic about future growth.Here is a graph comparing the regional Fed surveys and the ISM manufacturing index:
The index for current manufacturing activity in the region increased 4 points to a reading of 27.9 and is now at its highest reading since May ... Firms reported, on balance, an increase in manufacturing employment and longer workweeks this month.
emphasis added
Click on graph for larger image.
The New York and Philly Fed surveys are averaged together (yellow, through October), and five Fed surveys are averaged (blue, through September) including New York, Philly, Richmond, Dallas and Kansas City. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) PMI (red) is through September (right axis).
This suggests the ISM manufacturing index will show solid expansion in October.

WAYNE, PA – Reynolds, a leader in K-12 school construction services, completed construction of additions and renovations to the Upper Bucks County Technical School. The modernization of the 50-year-old buildings ushers in a new era of state-of-the-art technical programs for the 122,700-square-foot facility.
Completed in phases, the $23 million project included modernization of education classrooms while adding new technology; new electrical, heating, and plumbing systems; a small addition; and a covered hallway to bridge the distance between the two main buildings. Various programs benefited from classroom changes and equipment upgrades, while the reorganization of existingspaces improved clustering of related programs.
The 10,400-square-foot addition connects two buildings and eliminates most of the exterior circulation on the site, as well as enhances building security. A new public entrance gives public access to the administration, café, and salon without compromising the security of the students.
"We are proud to work with Upper Bucks County Technical School to deliver affordable, flexible solutions for their expanding facilities," said William MacLaughlin, Reynolds project executive. "The renovations and additions position the school to attract a broad student base and prepare them for technical careers, from automotive to cosmetology to law enforcement."
Located in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, the technical school serves about 650 students from the Pennridge, Palisades, and Quakertown
Community school districts.
About Reynolds
With the experience of 20 years in the construction industry, Reynolds has become a full-service building solutions provider with a wide array of service offerings in construction—from preconstruction to close-out, restoration, energy, and commissioning and engineering.
At Reynolds, it is our goal to become the first contact for all building solutions. Throughout the course of a relationship with our clients, we strive to resolve each and every issue as it arises, so that our clients end up with a high quality project that meets their needs…every time.

|Welcome to the Schwinn Paramount 75th Anniversary Website. This project is the result of a collaboration of Waterford Precision Cycles and Pacific Cycles, producer of Schwinn Bicycles. Waterford and Pacific put together the 70th Anniversary Paramount 5 years ago. It set a new standard for custom lug design while providing our clients a memorable ride. Afterwards, Waterford and Schwinn went our separate ways – not a breakup, more like drifting apart.
As the 75th approached, we wondered what might happen. Then we received a call from Terry Elsen, then Sales Manager for Schwinn. He asked if we had time to meet the newly named Global Brand Manager for Schwinn, Joe Werwie. We expected a motorcade to arrive at the appointed time with a crew in dark suits and sunglasses. Instead, a rather unassuming young man arrived, dressed like bike people, not money people. Turns out Joe owns a Waterford from many years ago, and he comes from a family that raced Paramounts at the Kenosha track. In short , he gets Paramount, and Schwinn, at a really deep level.
Ever since, Joe and Waterford founders Marc Muller and Richard Schwinn have been bouncing around ideas for how we might approach the 75th. Marc has been a part of the Paramount scene since the late 1960′s, when he joined the racing scene in the Western Suburbs of Chicago (whose favorite son Chris Van de Velde is concluding an impressive international career just this year). Marc joined Schwinn's engineering department in the late 70′s and took over Paramount production in 1980. He organized the Paramount Design Group factory the following year; not only building world-class road bikes but introducing a startling number of innovations over the subsequent dozen years.
Twenty years ago this year, Richard and Marc dedicated themselves to continuing the tradition of building the World's Finest Bicycles by forming Waterford Precision Cycles. Waterford has earned its own well deserved reputation (including its own World Champ stripes) while pioneering a number of innovations including compact designs, the use of stainless steel, as well as a number of groundbreaking bicycle platforms.
The 75th Anniversary Paramount is yet another statement in this long tradition, and working with Joe has made it all the more special.
Our goal is to create compelling and enduring designs without ostentation. The bikes will unfold over the next few weeks with the production of frameset number 1 of the 25 we plan to build.
Join us on this dream journey to bring the past into the future!

so..........how bout those red socks? while the playoffs were going on chuck said "wouldn't it be funny if it ended being the rockies against the red sox?" ie His team vs. My team. he totally jinxed them. and i don't think he's happy with the results. the first game i had to tease him, and of course a little today. i can't believe they sweeped the rockies. it was the perfect ending to the whole sox-toberfest (i couldn't resist the pun - sorry).
born and raised in MA i've always been a red sox and patriots fan. they always seemed to have this pattern though: do great during the season, get into playoffs, decide it's vacation time and crash and burn. so these last few years it's great to see the teams actually remembering to play during the postseason. and win. i love it. and with the pats 8-0 the superbowl's looking pretty good too. we're coming up against the colts though. i hope we whoop em. last year i banned payton manning's name, just because they said it every other second on espn.
in other good news. . . ah yes. the grand seaming event of last saturday. i was It. so i did what i could, and still have most of the squares to sew up. *sigh* at least the pressure's off. since then i've only done "fun" projects, but there's no school thurs and fri this week so i'll have my own private netflix seaming party then. and maybe get rid of the cobwebs in the house. the whole blanket project is turning into more of an ongoing thing, which is good because i still have squares (thankfully) trickling in. so given time we can do more.
the first fun thing i did was finish the woven stitch towel. yay!
the edges curl just a bit, but i can live with that.
last weekend i worked on chuck's neglected sweater until i couldn't stand it anymore. now i'm about 3 inches from the neck decreases. like a horror film, i knit but don't seem to get any closer. stake conference this weekend gave me plenty of time to work on it. for mostly being a church knitting project, it's coming along fairly well. i have a dream of it being done in time for our thanksgiving trip, but know it probably won't happen.
i finished the thuja. i tried the sewn bind off for the first time and *really* liked it. my first toe-up sock i had to go up like 3 needle sizes for it to be loose enough to fit over my foot. the sewn bind off is like grafting half a stitch so it's super easy. and flexible! i was very happy with it.
broadripple 2 got started and almost finished last week, mostly knitting at school during my prep period. that's the best thing about high school i think. it just needs an inch or two and it'll be done. no pics, cuz, hey, it looks just like the first one. and the stripes match up pretty good, maybe half a row off.
i finished reading scions of shannara. despite having no recollection of the story line, i apparently have read it before, since i came across a quote i copied from it. i definitely don't remember it being a trilogy. so, druid of shannara up next once i go to the library tuesday. yesterday i barely started heartlight but i'll tell you about that tomorrow (it's almost bedtime).
today i started the second moss grid towel. i noticed on the first one that the seed borders on the sides fold in pretty bad. it's not blocked yet (i figured i'd do both of them at the same time) so hopefully it'll go away. that'll be my home knitting, while the socks are my school knitting.
sadly, the job i have right now is math. which means the kids have questions and need help during class (yeah i actually have to, like, teach) so i don't knit. luckily it was a 5 day job. the checkbook likes gigs like that. it helps keep the kids in line too. they haven't been a problem at all though, and i was a little discomfited to learn i was popular friday. i started wednesday, but only had 3 of the 5 classes. friday i had all of them. they tell me i'm better than their normal teacher, which i take with a grain of salt. (have i mentioned lately i hate math?) but then friday, the new afternoon class asked some question, which they thought i would explain well, and said they'd been told i was a good teacher. what do you say to that? not being a real teacher and hating math? i guess if they tell it to their friends they mean it.
most of my pics were taken outside cuz the inside light sucks here. you know what's tricky about takings pics in AK? your breathe fogs up the lens and makes the pic blurry :( but still, here are some pics of the fjörgyn + buttons for you to enjoy. and for all of you out there (tanya) always asking why i'm not in the pics, i even got chuck to take some with me wearing it.
i think i like not blogging for a week, i feel like i've done so much!

Actor Hrithik Roshan has acted with almost all the popular names in Bollywood but not with Katrina Kaif, who is perhaps the top actress today. Now, this dream pair is going to adorn the cover page of Harpers Bazaar.
The magazine managed to bring the duo together for the first time ever. They share incredible chemistry and the poses they strike are revealing enough. It is said that both of them were excited about the photo shoot.
It was earlier reported that Katrina opted out of a film starring Ranbir Kapoor after receiving an offer to act with Hrithik in Zoya Akhtar's next film.

When you have the chance to interact with customers across a variety of channels, knowing that each has their own unique value and effectiveness, opting for one or even just a few isn't going to deliver the ideal results.
A multichannel integrated marketing strategy is certainly a start, but no matter how many channels you manage at any given time, you're bound to face limitations if these channels don't communicate with one another. Consumers are fluid in their digital behaviors, and brands need a marketing strategy designed to keep up with these various behaviors.
An omnichannel approach can offer a more consistent user experience, whether you're interacting on desktop, mobile, connected TV or in-person.

Strong performances from the rest of the Shady label aside, acceptance of "Shady XV" will purely depend on your acceptance of Eminem's savant syndrome manifestation.
Fifteen years of Shady Records represents an unusual time for rap music, transitioning out of the shiny suit era and into a bubble featuring new names. Aside from D12 and Obie Trice releases, the label's existence was mostly tied to Eminem signing a certain Queens MC. 2011 proves a critical year with the reformation of Bad Meets Evil with friend Royce da 5'9", and the signings of the Slaughterhouse collective and Yelawolf. Given the very recent additions, it would seem somewhat premature to drop a compilation, much less going with a double disc of new and old music. Nonetheless, Shady XV gives the people what they want. But which people are those?
Jumping into the meat of the projects, Shady XV features Eminem with bars on top of bars on top of bars, over his typical acid rock influenced production. "Psychopath Killer" brings back subtle horrorcore, with half of Slaughterhouse with Yelawolf. The song also has Eminem literally detonating on the track. At some point, he stops rapping off beat, and to his own time. "Die Alone" pulls in a Kobe hook, where he's asked to channel the Eighties Luther Vandross. Oh, the irony.
Bad Meets Evil reunites for now-infamous "Vegas," a carnal and frankly misogynistic experience, in which Em cannibalizes Royce, who actually comes correct when his turn comes. The track fully encapsulates the ethical conundrum of Eminem of the present day. His elite technical ability has reached past another previously unseen Mario level. However, he's still stuck on crushing female artists, with the 'cut and sew' precision that most non-stans would love to see on a different subject (literally any other subject, besides simulated abuse of women.)
Finally providing something other than Em spazzing out, Slaughterhouse gets their time to shine over a DJ Premier beat, with "Y'all Ready Know." An honest and emotional Shady reappears with Sia on "Guts Over Fear":
"Learned how to harness it while the reins were off/And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part/ Was soon as I stopped saying I gave a fuck/Haters started to appreciate my art."
"Right for Me" displays Eminem's complete disregard for production, which he seemingly views simply as requirement satisfaction for a rap song, proves both enthralling and problematic. The excitement lies in Em's anaconda-like ferocity, his ability to swallow the beat whole, leaving nothing to waste. The problem is he clearly no longer cares about anyone or anything else, while he's in the zone. He settles for nothing less than complete annihilation of everything, including the artists performing alongside him.
This almost autistic approach begs the questioning of desired intention. Is the current version of Eminem even hip-hop, or increasingly abstract performance art with hip-hop as a base platform? Is he in discovery mode, similar to Thelonious Monk searching for lost chords and new syncopations? Is he just a raging misogynist, with nothing more to talk about (which, if he's looking out on a world outside of the world of Marshall Mathers, seems a poor excuse on many levels)?
If "Down" was a reject from the "Love Story" sessions, Yelawolf might have something special on the way. He has flipped out that nasal, specifically Southern drawl, going with a more neutral tone. It comes back on the "Till It's Gone," a standout also featured on Sons of Anarchy. Mr. Porter and Kuniva pop on "Bane," the D12 union track minus Eminem. Everyone runs down the "Detroit vs. Everybody" with a vengeance, but how do you have Dej Loaf on before Black Milk or Elzhi? (Or both.)
The "greatest hits" disc feels bloated, and largely unnecessary. Save a few deepish cuts, there's nothing revelatory to be found, unless you've been living under a rock. Asking fans to purchase mostly ubiquitous tracks, like "In Da Club," stands just this side of laughable within today's music buying climate.
Though it has some strong points in lyrical dexterity, Shady XV fails to deliver definitive answers on where the label is now, nor where it may be going in the future. The album will pacify the subset of Eminem stans – which is acceptable for the personal journey of a solo album. However, taking a celebration of fifteen years to spew "me, me, me" vomit on an increasingly diverse canvas was unnecessary. Regardless of how skilled the delivery is, if you have nothing new to say, why say anything?
"Sometimes I have to ponder why people are like (I'll stick around)/And put up with my crap so long for/What's the attraction, mama? Is it the fact that I'm a walking, talking, actual quadruple entendre/Or the pointy nose that's pointing at you, mama?/ Who knows at this point."

This recipe was shared with me by my good friend and former neighbor, Bev Chicos. I have enjoyed many coffee/breakfast treats at her home over the years! The unusual thing about this recipe is that there is no baking soda or baking powder in these muffins and they still rise! I have come to the conclusion that the eggs must solve that problem. Let them cool 6-8 minutes before removing from the pan or use paper liners.
Blueberry Coconut Muffins:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp grated lemon zest
2 large eggs
5 Tbsp whipping cream
1 cup flour
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 cup blueberries (don't thaw if using frozen)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray nine muffin tins with cooking spray.
Beat butter, sugar and zest until fluffy, add eggs one at time. Then reduce to low and add cream and flour. Fold in coconut and blueberries. Bake 20-30 minutes until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. May refrigerate dough overnight. These are good served warm or cold.
