XCD HR teams with Peterborough City Council to provide software solution that transforms business operations by as much as 4x
Automation of manual data and over 100 HR paper-based processesSaves critical employee and business hours
XCD HR is working in conjunction with Peterborough City Council to tailor their cloud-based HR solution in-line with public sector requirements. This technology will enable employees to work more effectively and flexibly, saving both time and money.
"Local councils are facing huge pressures to save money. We have teams of experienced employees, who are good at their jobs. We want to retain our staff whilst making better use of valuable skills. We need to work more effectively moving forward" commented Richard Godfrey, Assistant Director: Digital Peterborough, Peterborough City Council.
Huge business savings – time & money:
Historically, many of the council's HR processes and procedures were paper-based. Over 100 of these tasks have now been automated. This allows employees to spend less time on paperwork and more time on the crucial elements of their jobs which really make a difference to the general public. The business can now ensure it utilises employee skills to the absolute maximum, which consequently improves internal operations and services to the community.
"We are here to serve our community and so automating processes and enabling staff to work anywhere, from any device, means services will improve." continued Godfrey.
The Digital Peterborough Campaign:
Peterborough City Council is leading the digital revolution of the Public Sector under its "Digital Peterborough" campaign. Their aim is to transform the way in which they deliver services to their local community by partnering with a number of leading technology partners, including XCD HR, Salesforce, Box, Transversal and Arcus Global.
Tailored Technology from XCD HR:
The XCD solution is a perfect fit. Not only does it meet the requirements of an employee centric, self-service system, but it also sits on the same technology platform (Force.com) that all other systems used within the council are migrating to as part of the council's innovative Technology Strategy.
XCD HR has taken its standard, out-of-the box solution and worked alongside Peterborough to develop the system to specifically fit their needs. Although the Public Sector HR model is complex, it's mainly rule based as the majority of contracts, salaries, leave, benefits and pensions are standardised.
"We could see the immediate benefits of automating their processes and the efficiencies it would make right across the organisation, for HR, Managers and Employees. We were in the perfect position to take on this challenge because the Force.com platform enables us to work four times faster compared to traditional software, and our clients have their data stored in the Salesforce UK data centre." added Chris Mitford-Slade, CEO, XCD HR.
Business benefits:
- - Immediate benefits/efficiency gains across the council (for HR, Managers and Employees) have been realised
- - Improved reporting capability with 24/7 up-to-date decision making data available to appropriate audience supporting CMT
- - Improved access to information to support a more mobile workforce using current communication tools – phone, tablet, pc, from anywhere via the cloud
- - HR's workload has become far more manageable and CIPD skills put to better use
- - Less chasing is required due to the approval process and email alert reminders on managers and employees
Future benefits for the Public Sector:
This means that there is now a tailored solution available to the entire public sector. Other UK councils will be able to utilise the design built and benefit from a reduction in the length of their implementation projects by harnessing this expertise. This will be of huge benefit to the market place as the system is already tried and tested and implementation time will be hugely reduced moving forwards.
"It has been a pleasure to work with a software supplier which has felt like you are working with your own in-house development team. We've been able to tailor the solution and mould the new system as if it were a bespoke project just for PCC." added Jan Paxton, HR Analyst, Peterborough City Council.
"Digital Peterborough" is a long-term project and XCD HR will continue to work in partnership with the team. The XCD HR solution can be purchased via the G-Cloud, an initiative targeted at easing procurement by public sector bodies.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Large Hydropower Reservoirs Far Lower Than Currently Assumed
Three Gorges Dam, photo: Harvey Barrison/CC BY-SA
From an environmental perspective hydropower is a mixed bag. Depending on how it's done (micro, small, run of river, large scale) it can be anything from a great low-carbon sustainable energy source to an environmental disaster destroying habitat, displacing people and animals, and even spewing greenhouse gases from the large ponds created behind massive dams. At least that's the conventional eco-wisdom.
When it comes to the greenhouse gases emitted from hydropower reservoirs though, some new research published in Nature Geoscience shows that concern may be overblown. This analysis of 85 existing hydropower reservoirs finds they collectively emit 1/6th the greenhouse gas emissions as currently assumed and "are not major contributors to the greenhouse gas problem."Paper co-author Dr Johnathan Cole notes however that just 17% of potential hydropower reservoir sites are being used and "impacts vary based on reservoir age, size, and location."
Even though hydropower emits no greenhouse gas as it generates electricity, when a reservoir is constructed and new land flooded, for a time period greenhouse gases are emitted from the flooded land, at levels varying based upon what sort of habitat was flooded.
As paper lead author Nathan Barros concludes,
The bottom line is that per unit of energy, hydroelectric generation produces much less carbon dioxide and methane emissions than previous thought, but impact are not equal across all landscape. Reservoirs in tropical locations, such as the Amazon, emit more methane and carbon throughout their lifecycles. (Science Codex)
Of course, when it comes to large-scale hydropower though this research shows that the greenhouse gas concerns are not nearly as great as we thought, construction of dams and reservoirs of this size still have large impacts (often negative) on the ecosystem in which they are located, as well as having impacts on water flow downstream.

Marine Corps History
Born in Tun Tavern Philidelphia, Pennsylvania 10 November 1775, the United States Marine Corps is older than the nation it protects. The history of this proud organization is a story of triumph and glory, and tragedy and pain. The call first went out in 1775 when the Continental Congress authorized then Commandant, Cpt. Samuel Nicholas to raise a brigade of Marines. The Marines of Commandant Nicholas's brigade were stout seamen, who brought their own rifle, and knew how to use them. These Marines helped protect American shipping interests prior to the Revolutionary War.
During the Revolutionary War, the call again went out to America's youth. The Revolutionary War saw the Marines take their place as America's soldiers on the sea, as well as the birth of many of the Marines symbols and traditions. For example, the term leather neck comes from leather collars worn by Marines to help hold their heads erect and protect them from slashes by sabres and cutlasses. The quatrefoil, a braided cross of gold cord worn by officers, was originally used by Marine sharpshooters to help tell friend from foe. The sharpshooters would climb into the rigging of American ships and when the Marines boarded an enemy ship, the sharpshooters would rain death and destruction upon the enemy while sparing the Marines who wore the cross of rope upon their covers.
The blood stripe worn on the dress blue trousers of officers and non-commissioned officers is in memory of the battle of Chapultepec, during the Mexican-American war. During that battle, 90% of the Marine Officers and NCO's died taking the Mexican stronghold. The battle is further commemorated in the Marines' Hymn in the line "From the Halls of Montezuma".
The War to end all Wars, WWI was another proving ground for the Marine Corps. Although the Marines won many honors, the horrors experienced by all the allied troops was a heavy price to pay. Among the honors won were 3 French Croix de Querres, Frances highest military honor. The third Croix de Querre was won at the battle of Belleau Woods, now called La Boix de la Brigade des Marines, the Woods of the Marine Brigade. In honor of the three Croix de Querres, the Fifth and Sixth Marine Regiments are authorized to wear the French Fouragere, a braided cord, symbolizing the their units famed past. Another distinction to come out of WWI was the phrase First to fight , which came from recruiting posters of that era. The one award which the Marine Corps is most proud of from this period of strife did not come from our allies, rather it came from the hated enemy the Germans. It was during WWI in Belleau Woods when Dan Daily said, " Retreat hell! We just got here!" that the Marines won their most prized honor. For it was during this battle that the Germans first started to use the term Tuefle Hunden. After classifying the Marines as Shock Troops, a classification given only to the most elite military units, the Germans gave us our name, DEVIL DOGS.

When Oberon, Inc. introduced the Model 1070 Mounted Zone Telecommunications Enclosure in October of 2009, the idea intrigued the networking community.
By locating Ethernet switches, patch panels, wireless controllers, and other networking and A/V components directly in the space where they are needed, the enclosures can be used to shorten home-runs, improve data rate and network capacity, and reduce crowding in the telecommunications room.
Cisco recently introduced two compact versions of the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Series and 2960-S series to make local placement of network equipment simpler and more convenient. Cisco has stated that the new Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and Catalyst 2960-C Compact Series Switches offer "the same functionality, OS, and management capabilities as their wiring-closet brethren." Designed to deliver network connectivity outside the wiring closet, the C-Series switches are themselves powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the switches to be used up to 100 meters from the wiring closet and in spaces where there is no access to power outlets.
Of course, moving the switches out of the wiring closet imposes a new set of considerations for protecting the equipment. Oberon's new model 1082-00 wall mounted network cabinet, and new model 1072-00 suspended ceiling telecommunications enclosure are ideal for securing these new switches in the workspace. The 1082-00 is a 22" x 22" x 4" deep network cabinet which can be quickly surface mounted on the wall. The 1082-00 is deep enough for 2U of 19" rack mountable components, (mounted vertically in the cabinet), including Cisco C series switches, patch panels, and other standalone network components. The 1082-00 has a plastic door so wireless routers and access points can also be secured inside.
The new model 1072-00 is a low profile ceiling tile-like enclosure which mounts into the 2' x 2' ceiling tile gridwork. The 1072-00 is only 4" deep, yet is deep enough for 2U of 19" rack mountable equipment. Designed to TIA standards for telecommunications enclosures, the 1072-00 has numerous mounting features for active (line powered) networking equipment, PoE powered equipment such as the C series switches, Wi-Fi access points, and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) components. There are mounting features on the door for Wi-Fi and Cellular broadband antennas.
The 1082-00 and 1072-00 are constructed with locking doors and means to protect attached cabling from tempering, so they are perfect for protecting equipment in remote offices, retail spaces, professional offices, healthcare, classrooms, and other venues where wiring closet space is at a premium.
Oberon is a member of the Cisco Registered Developer Network. For more information on secure, convenient, and aesthetic telecommunications and wireless access point enclosures for suspended ceiling and wall-mounted systems.

I knelt down, folded my hands, and told the person on the other side of the screen, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been four days since my last confession.
"Since then, I've smoked three cigarettes–which is up from last week, and it's only Wednesday. I also thought a whole bunch of impure thoughts. I don't know why that's a sin, you know? I'm fourteen. That's what fourteen-year-olds do. Oh, well, God's house, God's rules; you don't make them.
"Where was I? Oh, yeah. What commandment tells you not to draw schlongs in someone else's textbooks?" I asked. "Either way, we also drew gross pictures of Sister Mary Sebastian in the margins and put it someplace where she could find it. I mean, it's not like I'm coveting Sister Mary Sebastian or anything, but I'm pretty sure framing Jimmy Emerson for that is bearing false witness against my neighbor."
I added, "Speaking of coveting, Heather Baruchel is still going with Alfred Nuñez, and I really want her to be going with me. It's not like they're married or anything, but I still think it would be adultery if I stole her away, so I'll go ahead and skip that one, I think. That's not my kind of sin. Besides, Alfred's kind of a…" I wracked my brain for a confessional-safe word. "… jerk-face. It's only a matter of time before she's single again.
"And of course, I skipped school yesterday…"
I straightened my back. "Actually, I'm not going to apologize for that. There's nothing to apologize for. I thought no impure thoughts, I didn't covet my neighbor's wife, and I didn't kill anybody. My friend had a crisis, and word got back to me–always does–and I went to her. That's what I do. Am I supposed to do anything less?
"She's lost. She's like a sheep in a briar patch or something like that, and I'm going to lead her out." I wanted to stand to emphasize my point, but that's not how things were done in a place like this. "Isn't that what Christians are supposed to do?
"Anyway, let me get back on script: Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest–"
I thought of something else. "And it's not like she makes it easy to lead her away from the thorns. One minute, she's like a puppy, you know? Following me around and attacking anyone who's being mean to me? And the next she's sulking and impossible. But I still look after her because she's a good person. She really is."
With a frown, I asked, "Could I get sainthood for that? How do you get sainthood anyway? Is there an application process? Because, believe me, if the pope ever met my friend, he'd fast-track me.
"Oh, and I can't forget to mention the reason I'm here in the first place: Darla O'Donnell hired Angelo Schaaf and me to steal the answers to her Anatomy final, and the Mother Superior heard us in the teacher's office, and we took off, and I'm hiding in here until she stops checking out the chapel. Amen."
Just before I made the sign of the cross, I added, "Oh, and I played with myself at least ten times since my last confession."
"Jesus, Max!" hissed the screen.
"Priests don't say Jesus," I replied. "Taking the Lord's name in vain and all."
"I'm not a priest!"
"You're on the padre's side of the confessional, Ange;" I told him, "you're the padre."
"Fine," he said, "but I don't want to hear about you playing with yourself!"
"There are no secrets from the Lord."
He mumbled a bit until he stopped and opened the door a crack. He whispered, "I think she's gone, Max."
"Anyway, Lord," I said to the sky, "Got to go. Thanks for listening. I'll say Hail Marys and shit later." I made the sign of the cross, jumped to my feet, and ran for it.

Israel and the joke that called UN's human rights body (UNHRC), composed of world's worst human right violators.
The reports against Israel by the UN Human Rights Council should be framed and posted in every political science class in the world: It would be an advanced lesson on diplomatic cynicism and the broken UN dream.
Saudi Arabia is one of the world's worst human rights violators. It is not an electoral democracy and political opposition is forbidden. Freedom of speech is heavily restricted. The government maintains control of the media and responds harshly to criticism or deviation from its strict Islamic dogma.
How can a country with virtually not connection to human rights be a member of a formal body dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights around the world?
Is that not similar to putting a wife-beater in charge of a women's shelter?
The UNHRC is dominated by third world countries, in most of which democracy and human rights are nothing more than theoretical concepts. More than half of the Council's members are not free democracies; on top of Saudi Arabia and Iran, it includes some of the world's most oppressive dictatorships, such as Libya, Qatar and China.
Incredibly, about 80%, 34 out of 40 of the Council's censures were devoted to Israel. This is an unbelievable figure: Meanwhile, tyrannies such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, China and others were never condemned by the UNHRC.
Israel, a democracy that grants freedom, civil rights and human rights to all of its citizens, including minorities that belong to a people with whom Israel is involved in bitter conflict — is supposedly the worst human rights violator on earth, and in fact one of the only human rights violators altogether.

Reviews of Bounds Taxis, Northampton
Review by p tew on 29th May, 2019
Add your review Date visited: 20 may 2019
Due to thier good reviews I phoned Station taxi's and booked a car for 9am on a monday, stating 4 people and 2 suitcases. At 9.15 a bounds taxi arrived 15 mins late-it was a old van type VW It only had seat belts for 3 people, so the middle rear had NONE. On getting away it sounded like the exhaust was loose as the engine sounded rough!. took ages for the car to get up to speed. when he slowed down he had to keep applying the hand brake, so something must have been wrong with the main brakes. This car was not roadworthy and probably wouldnt pass an MOT!!! It was certainly NOT like the flashy photos on the website!!

Thank you Bounds Driver for leaving us stranded when the BOOKED vehicle arrived only to drive off with the wrong passengers, with me 2 metres away waving at him, it was also 1 minute early so we were not even late. I also ran after the Taxi as it pulled onto the road so he either did not look in his mirrors or decided to blank us, not impressed, time to use another Taxi company

I would never use Bounds taxis as their driver donot know the law about parking.They park on double yellow lines;approaches to zebra crossings and nearly always double park.Whenever I have driven behind them they always exceed the speed mimit and disobey the red traffic lights.Their drivers are a risk to their passengers and other road users, so I would never use them.

Rang today to arrange a taxi to take three of us to Birmingham airport. I informed the controller the pick up address was on overstone lakes caravan park the reply was we only pick up at the main entrance, I explained that my mother in law is blind and the difficulty in getting her and luggage to the main entrance but the answer remained the same. surely this is discrimination to the disabled. Needless to say we shall never use Bounds taxis again.

Asked for a taxi to take me to the station and I asked them to bring one to pick up my dog. The taxi turned up late then refused to take me and the dog to the station. Then pretended he was frightened of dogs but then said he was OK with Guide dogs. He pretended to phone his office and deliberately tied up the line so that I could not get through. When I phoned the office and told them of the problem they did not apologise just stated their drivers were self employed and they could not control them. On this point alone they therefore must be putting people at risk including schoolchildren because without proper control of their drivers how can they guarantee their safety? Avoid this taxi firm. I shall enjoy calling the local authority.

Booked a taxi at 0700 on automated machine for 8.15by 8.40 taxi still not arrived.i rang bounds to follow up and was told by the operator that taxi had not been dispatched yet.i told him I was not happy as this was not the first time this had happened. He told me never to ring them again and to use county taxes. He said he wasn't Jesus or Moses and could not predict problems with traffic.my kuda needed to get to school and I was stuck.i have started using county cars as advised after having been a bounds customer for over 14 years. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.

Booked taxi on 25th at 19:20 for a pick up on 27th at 06.40. At 06.53 the taxi arrived and then preceeded to go the longest route to my destination. This was a surprise as i only use the one taxi. Of late the service has got poor, Somehow i don't think my boss would except "sorry" for being late all the time. Even on a day when you have to pay double fair!!

I was recently stranded in Northampton late at night. I phoned two or three taxi companies only to be told they be about 45 minutes before they could pick me up, I was stranded. I popped in to a pub and asked the bar staff if they knew of any taxi companies I could try and they said about Bounds Taxis in Bradshaw Street at the top of the Drapery. When I got to the Bounds Taxis office, I found a large, bright waiting lounge and staff at the booking terminals. I waited no more than 1 minute and my taxi arrived. Whilst waiting for the taxi to draw up I watched Sky News on the large flat screen TV's. Brilliant, not only did I not have to wait for my taxi but in the waiting lounge it was warm, bright and dry. Now I just keep Northampton 62 62 62 the Bounds phone number in my mobile. Many thanks Martin

Would not use again. I pre-booked a mini bus and obtained a quote which was compariable to other firms. On reaching the destination we were informed that the price was 50% more expensive and that quotes are only approximations. Had I been informed of this at the time of booking I would not have chosen the company.

From the In-Case-You-Were-Wondering department:
While watching the two latest Star Trek
travesties movies, I couldn't help but notice how ridiculously young the characters look, compared to their Original Series counterparts. I thought it would be interesting to compare the relative ages of the actors at the start of the series and at the premier of the first alternate-timeline movie. According to the Memory Alpha article on Stardates, the first alternate-timeline movie is set seven years prior to the setting of the first episode of The Original Series. In the table below, I've presented the actual difference in the ages of the actors and then the difference adjusted by that seven year difference. Read the rest of this entry »

Cb060 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
- We are an independent music and culture (mostly music) blog
- Our demographics are mostly college students and young adults
-Our name "Toasted Robots" means a "awakened or enlightened human being"
Hey designers,
Our demographics are mostly college students and young adults. We post music, music videos, funny random stories, cool pictures/videos, and pop culture. We do not have any specific genre that we only post. Our website has a very trendy youthful vibe to it. We want a logo that includes a cool character (some type of a playful looking robot) and our name "ToastedRobots.com" incorporated with it somehow. We plan to use this logo for our twitter & facebook page, stickers, and t-shirts. So we want a logo that we enjoy looking at and our youthful crowd of readers especially like clicking on it. We do have a slogan, "Stay Toasted"...we would like to see a few options with this logo in it but aren't 100% sure if we want it in our final logo (probably not).
The logo I attached is the one we currently use. One of my good friends simply sketched it up and modified it a little bit on his computer. It's nothing special, we just chose to include so you can get the idea that we want some of robot/character who is fun looking and not to complex. Even though this logo is black and white...we DO want the logo that you make us to have color (again, nothing to complex). We do not have our mind on any specific color scheme so please provide a few different option. Sorry to repeat, but we do not want anything to insane or complex. Something relaxing and not to "in-your-face" with brightness. We are open to any color scheme but we just don't want anything to intense. But keep in mind that we want something that is distinct and our viewers will remember, and be proud to stick the sticker on their laptop or dorm fridge. Simple but dope.
I trust you guys so please do a good job,

Amazon Partner Baristas adds Fox News, CNN, ESPN, Food Network, Cosmopolitan Magazine and Sports Illustrated to White Coffee Advertising Resulting from Record Sales
/EINPresswire.com/ -- SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2017) - Baristas Coffee Company (
Baristas recently kicked off a national multi-faceted advertising campaign which combines digital display advertising driving traffic directly to Amazon with a broad reaching terrestrial (over the air) radio campaign on over 120 stations nationally utilizing the top radio platform in the country. Baristas added Spotify the world's most listened to streaming music to its campaign currently underway. This campaign is the initial expansion of advertising and focuses exclusively on the unique white coffee Keurig cups. A media plan has been developed extending out over the next 6 months focusing on the expanding Baristas White Coffee product line as well as other Baristas products soon to be announced.
Barry Henthorn CEO stated: "Our marketing is working not only driving sales and revenue but in gathering information regarding our customers. We have learned in the initial stages of the sales increases over the last 30 days that our target audience is much broader than we expected. Although the 18 to 34 sector that is choosing White Coffee as a more natural high caffeine alternative to energy drinks and chemically laden energy shots continues to be our core audience, we are seeing significant traction in the 35/54 audience who are embracing White Coffee as a refreshing, lower acidic alternative to their traditional coffee choices. The acceleration and expansion of our current 6-month advertising program to include the core consumer portals of the 35/54 audience will capitalize on this broader audience."
Baristas partnered with Amazon, the most valuable retailer in the United States, to offer the only White Coffee single serve cups compatible with the Keurig® K-Cup® Brewing System 2.0 available on www.amazon.com at: https://www.amazon.com/Baristas-White-Coffee-Single-Arabica/dp/B018VYS7YW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1496872256&sr=8-1&keywords=baristas+white+coffee through "Amazon Prime."
White Coffee is a rarity and is developed using a slow and low heat roast that preserves a much higher caffeine level than a traditional roast. Because the beans have been under-roasted, white coffee has a lighter taste than traditional coffee and is described as both neutral and nutty.
About Baristas Coffee Company:
www.baristas.tv Baristas is a national Coffee Company that is recognized throughout the US. It currently produces and sells coffee related products under the Baristas brand. The Baristas White Coffee single serve cups compatible with the Keurig 2.0 brewing system is the bestselling product in its category. Baristas also markets other coffee related products. Baristas gained mainstream exposure when it was the subject of "Grounded in Seattle" the reality show special feature which aired on WE tv. Baristas has recently refocused its business to focus on its wholesale and direct to consumer coffee based products such as single serve coffee pods compatible with Keurig 2.0 brewing system. Baristas special "Espresso Blend" and its revolutionary "White Coffee" have become strong sellers, with the lightly roasted 3X the caffeine, "White Coffee" becoming the number one white coffee Keurig compatible cup in the nation.

Kachemak Bay State Park and State Wilderness Park Planning
Alaska's first state park, and only wilderness park, contains roughly 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, forests and ocean. The bay's twisted rock formations are evidence of the movement of the earth's crust. Highlighted by constantly changing weather patterns, the park's outstanding scenery is a backdrop for high quality recreation. Park visitors will find opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, camping and mountain sports.
Kachemak Bay is a critical habitat area, supporting many species of marine life. Visitors frequently observe sea otters, seals, porpoise and whales. Intertidal zones offer natural settings for marine studies. Land mammals include moose, black bear, mountain goats, coyotes and wolves. The many species of birds that inhabit the bay, including eagles, gyrfalcons and puffins, make it a popular area for bird watching.
Hiking and camping along the shoreline and in the surrounding forests and mountains are excellent. Above timberline, skiers and hikers will find glaciers and snowfields stretching for miles. Special park attractions include Grewingk Glacier, Poot Peak, China Poot Bay, Halibut Cove Lagoon, Humpy Creek, and China Poot (Leisure) Lake.
Access to the park is by boat or airplane, as there are no roads to the park. Air charters, water taxi services, and boat rentals are available in Homer. Authorized commercial air and water taxi services.
Commercial operators must have a permit to operate within park units. Authorized commercial tour services for Kachemak Bay.
Note: Access to Halibut Cove Lagoon can be hazardous due to rip tides and shallows. Lagoon access is recommended at high tide, and for shallow draft boats only. Contact park rangers for details.
◇ Trails - More than 80 miles of trails provide access into the park's backcountry. Trail descriptions
◇ Camping is permitted in most areas of the park. A number of sites have been developed that may include fireplaces, picnic tables, tent platforms, information, outhouses or food caches. Contact park staff for details. Notice: Kachemak Crack Day Use Area and Left Beach Camp Areas.
◇ Public Use Cabins are available for rent on a reservation basis. The rustic cabins are located in the Halibut Cove Lagoon, Leisure Lake, Moose Valley, and Tutka Bay areas. Information on cabin rentals in Kachemak Bay State Park.
◇ Halibut Cove Lagoon Public Dock is an 80-foot-long floating structure, capable of mooring boats up to 26 feet long. The dock provides access to the Ranger Station, public restrooms, 2 public use cabins, and a major trailhead. Space is limited, and is available on a first come, first served basis.
The Kachemak Bay State Park and Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park Management Plan is in the processes of being updated. Please visit the park units planning page for more information.
The area's quiet, natural beauty can be deceiving; it can be a harsh and unforgiving place for the unprepared. The following are suggestions to make your trip both enjoyable and safe.
Travel Plan - Leave a travel plan with family or park rangers, and use trail registers where available.
Weather - Kachemak Bay is an arm of the north Pacific Ocean and is subject to severe and unpredictable weather. Visitors should prepare for a cool, wet, windy climate. Bring extra clothing and adequate rain gear.
Boating Safety - The bay is very rough at times. When conditions are poor, be patient and wait for them to improve, as they often do in the evening. Always carry enough food and warm clothing for an unexpected overnight. Always wear a personal flotation device (life jacket). Flotation devices are required, by law, to be worn by children 13 and under. If you have never operated a small boat in Kachemak Bay, please talk to park rangers about special precautions.
Navigational Hazards - Numerous hazards exist on the bay. Marine charts show many of these, and should be carried by all boat operators. Refer to Nautical Chart #16645, Gore Point to Anchor Point.
Tides - Kachemak Bay's tides are the second largest in the world. The average vertical difference between high and low waters is 15 feet, with an extreme of 28 feet. Tidal currents can be very strong, and rapids are often created in narrow passages, such as the entrances to Halibut Cove and Tutka Bay lagoons. Tide books, available at sporting goods stores, are essential. Use the Seldovia tables. Be sure your boat is secure before you leave it.
Drinking Water - Water is readily available from streams and springs trickling from hillsides. Treat all drinking water by boiling for ten minutes, or with biological filter or chemical treatment.
Sanitation - Use latrines when they are available. When they are not, bury human waste 200 feet from fresh or salt water. Please be sure to be away from the beach and/or your campsite. Human or animal waste on the beach or near campsites, is a significant problem.
Prepare Yourself - Visiting any remote area is an exciting wilderness adventure, but it involves an element of personal risk. Thoroughly prepare yourself with adequate equipment and education. Don't count on being rescued if an emergency arises. You must be able to recognize and avoid hazards, and handle emergencies yourself.

These bear-proof food storage containers are available to borrow for camping and outdoor adventures, where bear hangs in trees are not an option.

Respect private property. Many of the most inviting beaches and camping sites are privately owned, but not all are posted. Please obey "No Trespassing" signs.
Practice Minimum Impact. Pack out what you pack in. Where latrines are not available, bury human waste a minimum of 200 feet from trails, campsites, streams, and beaches, and pack out tissue. Please do not discharge waste water into streams.
Fires are allowed only on beaches and gravel bars, in metal fireplaces provided, or with portable stoves. Use only dead and down wood for fires. No open fires above timberline.
Hunting and fishing are allowed in the park. Consult regulations, Rangers, or the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for information.

A lot was done but help it still needed
About the tragedy happened with Kirill Vorob'ev (aka Bayan Shirianov) – a writer beloved by many, well known by his novels about the life of Moscow drug users – we read in the newspaper. Being diagnosed with brain encephalopathy he was discharged from the hospital in a very difficult condition considered as a life-long sentence. Now he literally has to learn again how to talk and how to walk.
Althoug Kirill has no any relatives in Moscow many people, not only friends and fans but also complete strangers, were ready to help him. That is why our social workers who also visited Kirill in a hospital and proposed their help were mostly involved in dissemination of the information on Kirill's condition and needs in order to attract more attention to the situation. We created a group on a Facebook to coordinate the activities of people who were ready to help and also initiated a compaign on Global Giving to collect funding for Kirill. Although ARF collected only about 800 USD altogether we managed to fundraise enough money to buy him a walking frame, cover the nurse and pay the bills for a flat. Thank you to all those who donated to support Bayan!
Someone brought a new cell phone to Kirill, someone else presented him a new comfortable wheelchair. Friends visit Kirill almost every day and this support is invaluable – when you are in trouble it is so important to know that you are not alone and that there are people around who love you and care about you. It was Anya Zagorskaya who coordinated all these activities in person and Kirill's former wife Irina who did the on-line coordination. We also would like to thank a poet Alexey Rafiev, Kirill's friend, who supported him greatly during the most difficult hospital and rehabilitation period. Special thanks to Alexey Zakharov who provided Kirill with a laptop; to Margo Miller and Tash Granovskiy who did a lot not to allow Kirill to feel himself being thrown out of literature and life.
Really a lot has been done by this moment and Kirill's condition became better and continues to improve – his speech became more articulate, a walking frame allowed him to move around a flat and refuse the use of pampers. The medication to fix the serotonin insufficiency is really effective and because of it Kirill is now mostly in a good mood. According to a neuropsychiatrist if Kirill continue to follow regime of treatment there is a chance for recovery – so we really hope that Kirill will be able to walk and take care of himself soon.
But there are a number of things still to be done before Kirill would be able to move from Moscow to nearby countryside where he will have better conditions for recovery. First of all we need to accomplish the application process for retirement and disability benefits. Kirill's nurse, Elena, is working on it and our social workers are helping her. Also aftert this process is completed help will be required to organize Kirill's move out of Moscow to a new place.
So resources to organize all these processes as quick as possible are still required that is why we will continue to do a fundraising through our website.

College is a time when music taste peaks for many people — myself included. And college kids often have their collective pulse on what is musically fresh and innovative.
Now Spotify has tried to capture some of that magic using the brute force of machine learning, and put together a playlist of the top songs for college students.
Spotify data "alchemist" Glenn McDonald looked at the difference between what songs college students like versus the average population. He used the "student discount" on Spotify to determine who was a student — so admittedly the list might be imperfect.
Here's what he found.
College students love Mac Miller. Pittsburgh's native white rapper, its shining son, had not one, not two, but three songs on the list. These included "Weekend," "Clubhouse," and "Brand Name."
Spotify also found that US college students prefer their music downtempo and "chilled-out," with sing-along choruses. Make of that what you will.
They are also fans of slow jams and oldies.
Check out the full list below, along with the embedded playlist:
- Jordan Belfort, Wes Walker, Dyl
- Until You Were Gone, The Chainsmokers, Tritonal, Emily Warren
- Roses, The Chainsmokers, ROZES
- Weekend(feat. Miguel), Mac Miller, Miguel
- Clubhouse, Mac Miller
- Here for You, Kygo, Ella Henderson
- Brand Name, Mac Miller
- Doses & Mimosas, Cherub
- Nobody To Love, Alex Newell
- All Night Longer, Sammy Adams
- Brand New, Ben Rector
- Die A Happy Man, Thomas Rhett

***I was gifted an eCopy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
It took me three attempts to get past the first couple of chapters of this book. Today I finally gave up about halfway through the book.
I just could not get immersed in the story. Two many character identity changes to keep up with.
The story and the writing just did not gel together properly which for me, made it impossible to read and enjoy.
The idea behind the book was a good one and I think, if it was expanded on properly and the style of writing flowed better, this would then be a book I could read and enjoy properly.
My rating for this book will be 2 Shamrocks because, although I couldn't get to grips with it, I didn't hate the book but I just could not finish it so it doesn't quite merit a 3 star rating.
This is my own personal opinion and maybe you would enjoy the book more than me 🙂

OMG. Sugar coated waffles. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also known as, Liege. Have you ever had one of these babies? They are the most delicious waffles you will ever eat in your entire life. Even their smell is intoxicating. Sometimes you can find them in Waffle Cabins on ski slopes….
homemade waffles
Waffles, Waffles, Waffles!
WAFFLES! Nothing is better on a Saturday morning than a large, puffy, slightly crunchy, but soft on the inside, waffle. Our biffies (that means best friends in my world) came to visit and look at how excited Coco was! Look at that face, she just couldn't wait for them to get here…

Theme icons offer users a means to customize their Android devices to their own liking in term of look and feel. This however doesn't mean they offer everything you'd need, that's why making your own custom icon is the next best thing. And it's easier than you think. To make this possible, all you need is some creativity and a photo editor to make the most of it. You choose any type of photo editor, whether a Photoshop or even a cloud-based editor such as Pixlr. As for the image to use as an icon, you can select any image available online and have it set as an icon on your device, using a launchers that comes with support for custom icons, for instance Nova Launcher. However, you'll notice that once you set an icon using this method, the icons will either appear much larger, completely filling up the icon square or the icon will have a border around it, since it lacks transparency. Luckily there are editing options for the intended icons that can greatly improve their look on the home screen. There are a few ways you can enhance your base image while it is in the photo editor, to make the entire process easier when setting it up in the launcher.
TransparencySelect the image around your intended icon using the magic wand tool. If the image has a solid color around it, simply select the outside area and tap delete. If the color or the area is replaced by black or white, then it means that either the layer of the image is locked or the editor you are using does not support transparency. Confirm by checking in the layers window (usually shown on the right side of the editor), that there is no lock beside the layer displaying your icon. If there is, double-click the lock icon found at the bottom of the layers window to remove it.
Borders and OutlinesThough Bordered icons may not look as clean, they are easier to create, set and keep uniformed. There are a number of ways you can make your icons bordered.
- Photoshop brushes can be applied in the creation of borders outside your icon
- The shape tool features an array of borders that can be employed for custom icons.
- Copy/ Cut: You can use a magic wand along with Crtl+Shift+I within PhotoShop to select the inverse of the brush or shape outline around an icon and then copy it to transform it into an icon stencil. Next move from the border you had based your layer on, on to the layer containing your image icon and right-click within the selected area then choose Layer via Copy. Have all the layers next to the newly created icon hidden and you'll be left with a model icon cutter that can be reused for as many icons as you wish.
Icon SizeAlthough in most cases bigger usually means better, the same doesn't apply to icons. Regardless of your phone's display resolution whether it's an HD or a 4K display, you'll find that the icons are all really small. This doesn't mean that icon size shouldn't be a factor when creating them, it simply means that whether you save your custom icons as 500 pixel squares or 2000 pixel squares, the difference made on your home screen would only be minor. Additionally, whatever the shape you choose for your icon, you need to make sure that the canvas you save remains squared as well as a bit transparent. If the icon you are left with is rectangular once you are done, then you can use the Canvas size setting to extend its canvas. Furthermore, ensure that your icon is placed at the center of the square to avoid the need to reposition it later on when you are setting it up in the launcher. Another important tip you need to remember is that since it's a transparent image you need to save in a format that supports transparency, that is, in PNG.
Your own creativityConsidering anything can be made into a custom icon, it can be a little overwhelming to find inspiration for your desired icons. Although your custom icons are likely to be focused on particular themes, there are a couple of other ideas you can use for custom icons: Game elements: The internet offers sheets of game icons for a variety of games whose elements you can divide to have achieve hundreds of options you can use for custom icons. Recolor icons: If for instance a particular icon has an awesome design but its colors are not so great, you could always have PNG icons downloaded from launchers such as Nova, recolor them to your liking and then upload them as custom icons. You could even have your custom icons match a particular color-theme. Other options include emoji, which can be used to represent how a particular app makes you feel or what it reminds you of; music elements such as custom icons from an album by your favorite artist or band; and even logos of different brands. There are endless options for custom icons, the only thing limiting you is your imagination. If you were to choose, what would you use as a custom icon and for what app? Let us know in the comments.

11 Dec 2003
On 11th December 2003, the world champion elect, Michael Schumacher took on an unusual opponent at the wheel of his F2003-GA: the Italian Military's Eurofighter Typhoon jet fighter. On the runway of the "Baccarini" military airport at Grosseto, a duel took place over three runs between two symbols of Italian excellence, going head to head over three distances, 600, 900 and 1200 metres. With his hand on the joystick was Italian pilot and astronaut, Maurizio Cheli.
The first test was won by the F1 car, which made the most of its better acceleration: 9.4 seconds to cover the 600 metre course, two tenths faster than the jet. Cheli settled the score over the longer distance of 1200 metres, covering it in 14.2 to Schumacher's 16.7. The tie breaker went to the jet by a head, with just two tenths separating them, as the Eurofighter won in 13 seconds over the 900 metres. The Ferrari was also penalised by the fact that rain meant the car had to be fitted with wet weather tyres.
"Obviously the best race was the first one," said a smiling Michael. "If it had not been for the rain, we would have had more grip! It was fun seeing the plane take off from where I was sitting… I hope the crowd enjoyed the spectacle as much as we all did!"
This challenge was preceded by the recreation of a similar duel staged on 8th December 1931 at Rome's Littorio airport between an Alfa Romeo 8C-2300 driven by Tazio Nuvolari and a Caproni CA-100 piloted by Vittorio Suster. Seventy two years on, the Alfa was entrusted to Massimiliano Stancari, while Stefano Rusconi slipped into the cockpit of a Tiger Moth, which stood in for the Italian biplane. As was the case in Rome, so too in Grosseto, the plane beat the automobile, although not by much.
Ferrari also ran another duel up against an airplane on 22nd November 1981 at Istrana airport, near Trieste. At the wheel of his 126 CK, Gilles Villeneuve narrowly beat (just ten hundredths of a second difference) an F104 from the Military Airforce.

The Eve of All Saints
Posted by Pamela under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment | No Comments
It is Halloween, and soon the neighborhood children will be knocking at our door and hoping for a treat rather than a trick. A light, spitting rain has begun to fall, and it may make the evening a non-event. This whole day has been overcast; and even when no rain had started, the streets and sidewalks looked damp. It is a perfect day for the Eve of all Hallows, at least in my world; because this is the day that my very core vibrates with a song of endings and of laying to rest.
I live under the Gregorian calendar; and like the rest of my contemporaries, I celebrate New Year's Day on January first. Still, there is a part of my DNA, hidden deep within my bones, that knows today is the day of endings — the day to lay the year to rest. If the weather allows, I will build a small fire in the fire pit and watch it burn. I will place the parts of my year that need to be relinquished in its flames and give thanks for them as I watch them fade to ash. I will sit in the silence that is broken only by the crackle of the fire and the whisper of the veil as it grows thin in the Autumn night. I will listen carefully for the voices that play in my heart — the voices of those I have loved, and who have loved me, and who now live a hair's breadth away in a world we find mysterious. I will listen to the mystery and let my heart play the sound of their voices as the fire reminds me that their physical beings have been consumed. I will sing a song or two — a melancholy one that tells my longing to reach through and touch them again, and a celebratory one that conjures the memories of times when we laughed and touched and lived together.
When the fire has turned to embers, I will light a small candle and carry it inside to bring light to my table. I will laugh at the way that my DNA, hidden deep within my bones, urges me to bring the fire inside and see that it keeps burning through the long, dark winter. I will shut the door tightly so that no breeze can enter and blow out its flame. I will watch as it burns through the coming day and hold onto the chance to honor those I love and bask in their closeness.
When the day is done, and the candle has finished its burning, I will straighten my calendar once again and return to the cycles of the world where I live my days; but the whole winter long, I will feel the warmth of the fire that has followed me home on this dark Halloween night.
I must go now. There will soon be small goblins and ghosts appearing out of the darkness. I must prepare the glow sticks I have waiting for them. There is something in my DNA, hidden deep within my bones, that compels me to send them into the darkness with some light to lead their way. Tonight is the night when darkness and light dance their dance of mystery. Tonight my spirit twirls to the music and follows the light across the divide and back again.

Former Pakistan cricket captain Rashid Latif said on Tuesday he turned down the job of national chief selector because he could not work with ex-players tainted by corruption.
The 45-year-old, who famously blew the whistle on match-fixing in 1994-95, last week refused to take up the chief selector's post with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Corruption, match-fixing and spot-fixing allegations have dogged Pakistani cricket for two decades and Latif said he could not work with tarnished ex-pros.
"I have my principles, which do not allow me to work with players who were punished for match-fixing in the past," Latif told AFP.
Latif refused to name anyone but appeared to be making a dig at former teammate Mushtaq Ahmed, who has reportedly been offered a role in the national cricket academy.
Ahmed was among six Pakistani internationals fined by a judicial commission in May 2000, following Latif's allegations.
The commission under Lahore high court judge Malik Qayyum also censured legspinner Ahmed and recommended he not be given any office of responsibility in the team or on the board.
Against International Cricket Council advice, England employed Ahmed as a spin bowling coach in 2010.
Latif said the PCB should have zero tolerance of corruption.
"Any players suspected or punished in the past have no business working for the PCB in any capacity and, since I know that more than one player were offered jobs in the PCB, I stayed away from it," said Latif, who played 37 Tests and 166 one-day matches for Pakistan.
Latif also refused the role as head of the anti-corruption unit in the PCB.
"I wanted to purge the game in Pakistan but, when I saw that unwanted elements were there, I turned down the job."
Pakistan is the country worst- hit by match-fixing in cricket, with three of their top players – Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer – serving five-year bans for spot-fixing.
Legspinner Danish Kaneria is serving a life ban imposed in 2012 by the England and Wales Cricket Board for spot-fixing in a county match.

Is a baby coming? Are you thinking of breastfeeding? Do you want to feed privately or in public as well? Nursing clothing is a great choice to accomplish this. Rather than creating controversy, invest in some clothing designed with discreet public breastfeeding in mind. Nobody will be able to tell that you are feeding. Before you try to breastfeed in public, try looking in a mirror to see how others see you. You can then make the necessary adjustments for privacy.
Make sure that you attend all appointments with the medical care provider. Your appointments are set up at certain points in the pregnancy for a reason. This allows the doctor to monitor the baby during key points in its development. To make sure the both of you are in tip top shape, don't miss an appointment!
Take prenatal vitamins as soon as you plan on getting pregnant. Your baby will start to develop his neural cord, which will turn into his spinal cord and brain during your first trimester. If you wish to have a healthy baby, start taking prenatal vitamins even before you become pregnant. These supplements should include calcium, iron, and folic acid.
Becoming pregnant is a miracle. It is an incomparable experience and you have the power to shape your child's future right from the start. You probably have many questions and are reading a lot of information regarding pregnancy. This article should have provided you with the advice you need to start on the path to having a successful pregnancy. Hopefully, they'll help you along the way.

Subscribe To Miles Teller In For Movie Described As Full Metal Jacket At Julliard Updates
I've already subscribed
Earlier this year, a short film called "Whiplash" earned buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, and ultimately won the Short Film Jury Prize for "its wicked sense of humor, fantastic ensemble acting and razor sharp directing." With the help of producers Jason Blum (The Purge) and Jason Reitman (Young Adult), writer-director Damien Chazelle made "Whiplash" to earn buzz and raise funds for a feature-length version of its story. And it seems that gamble is paying off big. Deadline reports that Sundance stunner Miles Teller of The Spectacular Now will front the film, which is being described as "Full Metal Jacket at Julliard."
Chazelle wrote the feature-length script, and will direct with Blum and Reitman producing alongside Couper Samuelson (We Own The Night) and Helen Estabrook (Up in the Air). Teller will star as a novice drummer who dreams of becoming a key component of America's best jazz orchestra. J.K. Simmons will co-star, playing his harsh music teacher who—as we can tell from the Full Metal Jacket comparison—arguably pushes too hard to inspire the young drummer to greatness.
Simmons will actually be reprising the role he played in the short. Below, you can see a clip of him in action with Johnny Simmons in the role of bullied boy musician. It's housed within an interview with Chazelle, Blum and Reitman.
"Do I look like a double fucking rainbow to you?!" Yup. Shine meets Full Metal Jacket makes sense to me.
Teller has undoubtedly become a young actor to watch. He made his film debut with a powerful performance opposite Nicole Kidman in John Cameron Mitchell's critically heralded drama Rabbit Hole. Then, in 2011 he was one of the few outstanding aspects of the lackluster remake of Footloose. 2012 brought a role in the house party megahit Project X, which took in more than $102 million at the box office. Then, of course this year he is fronting the celebrated Sundance hit Spectacular Now, where his performance is getting absolutely rave reviews. In my own review I compared him favorably to Matthew Broderick from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Tom Cruise circa Risky Business.
But all of that could just be the tip of Teller's iceberg as he's got a slate of projects coming up including the 2014 tent pole release Divergent. The action-adventure movie based on the popular YA novel by Veronica Roth could well become a Hunger Games level hit. Beyond that, Teller was recently rumored for the role of Reed "Mr. Fantastic" Richards in The Fantastic Four reboot. While that has since been debunked, the fact that the rumor got such traction speaks to how fast Teller's star is rising. Pairing him with the always fantastic, Reitman muse J.K. Simmons on Whiplash is enough to get this critic interested, but the Full Metal Jacket comparison doesn't hurt.

For the first time in ITOG history, the Annual Meeting was held in Europe. ITOG members Dr. Sebastiano Filetti and Dr. Martin Schlumberger hosted an exceptional two-day gathering at Sapienza Università di Roma in Rome, Italy, where Dr. Filetti is a member of the faculty. The inspiring agenda was complete with presentations of groundbreaking research, the latest results from clinical trials, and innovative approaches employed in other cancer diagnoses that could be translated for thyroid cancer research. Dr. Thomas Giordano gave an extremely informative talk on the molecular characterization of thyroid cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) effort, a description of which can be found on the ITOG website (www.itog.org). The presentations were split between the US and European members and included special guests from Sapienza Università di Roma and Institut Gustave Roussy in Paris, France.
Gathering in Rome demonstrated the commitment of ITOG to working closely with international members. The venue also provided the opportunity for the leadership of ITOG, ACCRU and EORTC to meet, share their capabilities with ITOG membership and to strengthen collaboration with EORTC. One unifying goal is to open ITOG trials on both sides of the Atlantic.
Drs. Filletti and Schlumberger not only organized an exciting scientific program, they extended a most warm welcome to ITOG members able to make the trip to Italy. The overwhelming participation and attendance at the Annual Meeting is a testament to its value, and fosters the collaborative culture that ITOG has developed. ITOG members Dr. Bryan Haugen and Dr. Rebecca Schweppe at the University of Colorado in Denver will host the 2016 Annual Meeting. The ITOG Annual Meeting has become the "Go To" meeting in the field of thyroid cancer.
