Enabling Two-Factor Authentication in Joomla
Joomla is just one of many content management systems that allow Two-Factor Authentication, but what sets it apart from the other CMSs is that it was the first to implement the security practice. However, the Two-Factor Authentication methods for Joomla can differ from other platforms, such as WordPress where there are dozens of plugins that can perform the function. Nonetheless, the two-factor authentication methods that are usable in Joomla are, perhaps, the most secure. You can download free Joomla templates.
You see, you usually go to a website and enter a username and password to log in and that's all you have to do. Unfortunately, this isn't the most secure approach because usernames and passwords can be acquired by hackers. This is sometimes the case when a computer is infected with certain types of viruses. When a username and password is taken, the website is vulnerable. Two-Factor Authentication makes it much harder for a hacker to access the backend of a website. Joomla website builder build secure sites.
How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication isn't too difficult. Right after you install Joomla 3.2 or higher, you will notice a post-installation message on the backend of the site that says nothing about Two-Factor Authentication. You have to click "Review Messages" in order to see that Two-Factor Authentication is available to you. There will be an "Enable Two-Factor Authentication" button waiting for you to click. This starts the process.
Using the User Manager
The User Manager is where you really start putting Two-Factor Authentication to work. You will need to "edit user." In other words, you can edit the user profile of anyone who has backend access to the website so that Two-Factor Authentication is specific to that user. Because you want to increase website security, you will most likely want to enable this security feature for all user groups that have any level of administrative access to the backend of the website.
Once you are in the User Manager, you will click the Two-Factor Authentication tab and then you will utilize one of the two authentication methods. The first is Google Authenticator and the second is Yubikey.
Using Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator is a smartphone and desktop application that generates a six-digit security code every 30 seconds. This means that it doesn't stay the same long enough for a hacker to figure it out and infiltrate the website. The number remains just long enough for you to log into your website. So instead of just entering your username and password, you also enter the six-digit security code generated by the app.
To get Google Authenticator, you will need to download the application. Once it is installed, you will go to your User Manager tab, which brings us back to the part mentioned earlier about there being two types of authentication. The types are listed in a drop-down menu labeled "Authentication Method." To use Google Authenticator after its installation, you will choose it from the drop-down menu.
When you install Google Authenticator on your desktop, you can scan the QR code with your mobile phone so you can sync your devices. This will make it possible for you to generate the six-digit code needed for login whether you are logging in on your desktop or mobile phone.
After you have done this, you will have to activate Two-Factor Authentication in order for it to work for you. There is an "Activate Two-Factor Authentication" field in which you will enter a six-digit security code that will be displayed on your smartphone's screen or in your Google Authenticator desktop app. You can then save and close.

There is one thing to know about activation and that is that a set of one-time emergency passwords will be created. You will want to print these passwords so you have them whenever you need them. You will find these passwords on the User Manager screen under the Two-Factor Authentication tab. They are useful when you are not able to use Google Authenticator for any reason and they are destroyed upon use.
After activation, the Google Authenticator app will show the six-digit code that you will have to enter when logging into Joomla. Keep in mind that Google Authenticator is running on its own either through the desktop or mobile application, so the code will be on the Google Authenticator screen and you only have 30 seconds to log in from the time the code is generated. For example, you can generate the code on your mobile phone and then enter it into the "Secret Key" field when logging into your desktop. However, be mindful of any time lapses that may require more than one attempt when pulling your code from a device other than the one you're using. If you need to log into your site on your phone, you will login from your phone's browser, but the code will be displayed in the Google Authenticator app. The same concept applies to when you use the desktop application to generate a code that you can enter into the Secret Key field of your Joomla login screen while working on your desktop.
Using Yubikey for Two-Step Authentication
The Yubikey secure hardware token can be used if that is the method you prefer. You will need to acquire a Yubikey USB device that you have to plug into your USB port before logging in. When logging into your Joomla site, you will click the Secret Key field in the login area and then touch the Yubikey gold disk to complete login. If you wish to log in using a mobile phone, you will need an NFC-equipped Android device so the NFC reader can copy the secret code from a compatible Yubikey token, such as Yubikey Neo. The code is copied to the mobile device's clipboard, but keep in mind that the code constantly changes so you have the protection you need against hackers that may acquire your password.
Just as you chose the Two-Factor Authentication tab in the User Manager screen, you will do the same when enabling Yubikey. Simply choose it from the Authentication Method drop-down screen so that Joomla knows that that is what you are going to use. You then follow the steps of activation.
Disabling Two-Factor Authentication
If you wish to disable two-factor authentication, you can log into the Joomla administrator and click "Plugin Manager under "Extensions." You will find "Two-Factor Authentication" and then you will choose the authentication method that you are using. You then click "disable" and Two-Factor Authentication will no longer be in use.
So when you want added security, you have these two very solid two-step authentication methods to protect your Joomla website from malicious hackers. Both are reliable methods, but which you choose is entirely up to you and your individual needs.

You've been asked to put together the ultimate swag bag for your upcoming corporate event, Oh no! What comes to your mind is a bag of cheap promotional products that will get tossed the moment they get home. But this is your time to shine. Show them you got this, you're the master of swag.
First things first, What is a swag bag? Derived from the Latin word Swagatolli it's the bag that holds your essential utensils for a night out. OK, we just made that up. The word swag actually has its origins in Scandinavia but I digress. Who cares about the origins. The clock is ticking and you've got to get it together. Focus.
A swag bag is a bag with a collection of gifts to be handed out at an event like the Oscars or other events like your humble corporate holiday party. The items in the bag are usually promotional in nature in that they have a company logo on them. So it's a cross between a gift and a promotion product. The word swag is slang for promotional products or marketing materials with a company name on it. Swag is also sometimes called chotskies.
Customizing Your Swag Bags
Swag bags are there to remind your employees or clients of the products or services you provide. Whether it's a simple swag bag for a company picnic or the ultimate swag bag from a star-studded event, every bag's purpose is to advertise, build your brand, and simply say thank you. Typically some items in the bag will have a logo imprint and others may be something simple like a chocolate bar or bag of snacks without your logo.
How to Begin Putting Together Your Swag Bags
To create the perfect swag bag for your upcoming event, all you have to do is take these simple steps:
1. Lock in your budget
How much will you be spending on each bag? Maybe it's $15, $50, or $500, the important thing is to start with a budget and stick to it.
2. Choose the number of items
Keep in mind that the best number of items for a swag bag is between four and six. Too many items and you'll be spreading your budget too thin. Too few and, well, it won't really be a swag bag, right?
3. Choose the bag
The bag sets the tone for the entire corporate gift so make sure you choose one that fits the message. A sleek, black bag with gold lettering promises a luxe gift set, a polka dot beach bag says these products are going to be fun, and a backpack may tell them there will be something useful in their swag. You'll be spending some of your budget on the bag, so make sure it is the type of bag the recipient is going to want to keep.
4. Choose the products
Once you've selected the bag and narrowed in on a theme, your swag bag ideas will start to flow. It's now time to choose the products that best suit your theme and marketing needs to create a swag bag your employees or clients will love and one that will impress your boss. When selecting items think about the feeling you would get if you received the item. For example, a stuffed animal may make you smile. A chocolate bar may give you that special 'Yeah!' feeling. A water bottle may make you think, Cool I can use this. Also, consider the event itself. If it's an outdoor event then a water bottle or sunblock may be perfect. If it's a long event, then maybe some snacks.
5. Art Prep & Order
Now that you have selected your products, determine which art you would like printed on each item. If you have an ace art department let them know which items you're getting and let them work up some amazing art for each item. It's often best to name each art file with the name of the item it is to be printed on. Once your art is ready, place your orders. Keep an eye on the in-hands dates to ensure everything arrives in plenty of time. If you're in a jam and waited a little too long to get started, companies like Blueberry Ink have thousands of custom printed items that can be shipped in a rush. Many can ship within 24 hours.
Your Checklist should look something like this:
Swag Bag Ideas & Examples
Here are some of our favorite combinations of items to go in a swag bag. Notice that the bag selected is the starting point of creating your bag and will set the tone for the collection.
Swag Bag Example #1
Approximate Cost $25 per Bag
To get started with our sample swag bags we'll go with a simple paper bag. They're inexpensive but a great way to have your logo or event message proudly displayed. The stuffed animal, in this case an elephant, will be the first thing they notice and grab onto. Again, ensure that your logo is printed on most of the items in the swag bag. The sport bottle will be one of those items they use a lot, so it's a nice item to include in the collection. Flashlights are fun if it's an outdoor evening event. Then the high value item in this bag is the wireless phone charger. They're not going to throw that one out. It's a keeper. We finish this swag bag with a smile. It's a delicious pack of M&Ms. Now everyone wants a bag.
Swag Bag Example #2
Approximate Cost $30 per Bag
We call this the traveler's swag bag because it has so many essentials for the traveler. We start with the bag itself which is a drawstring tote perfect for those on the go. Then inside that bag is another small bag which can help keep small things easily accessible. The customized passport holder tells the whole story: this is a traveler's kit. And of course a notebook to keep your travel journal going. The granola bar will be just what your traveler needs. If it's a hike, you may want to toss a few more snacks into this swag bag.
Swag Bag Example #3
Approximate Cost $50 per Bag
Fun is the theme of this corporate swag bag. By using a clear tote for the bag everyone will see what they're about to get. With the logo t-shirt teddy bear peaking through the clear tote, they'll be smiling even before they get the bag. The umbrella can add a lot of color to the see-through bag and the tumbler engraved with your event logo will be the premium item in the collection. An executive pen gives this goodie bag a high-end twist and the mints which you can just pick up at a big box store makes those meeting more pleasant.
Swag Bag Example #4
Approximate Cost $50 per Bag
This swag bag starts out with a custom printed power bank which is a popular item especially if people have traveled to the event. Having a power bank makes those long days away from home easier. Then we drop in an executive journal great for conferences or conventions. The umbrella is a 'must have' if the event is expected to see some rainy weather as many may have left their umbrella at home. We finish this collection with a little chocolate which will put a smile on their face when they're checking out their goodie bag.
Swag Bag Example #5
Approximate Cost $100 per Bag
In this high-end swag bag we've included a Moleskine journal, a Bluetooth speaker, a Cross pen, and a Starbucks gift card. By including brand name items in your bag, it becomes a high perceived value collection. Also notice in this swag bag the bag used is not just a simple bag, but a lunch cooler.
Fun With Swag Bag Art
Remember to have fun with your art! Promotional products and corporate gifts typically only have a company name and logo, but there are so many other things you can do to make your products stand out. If you have a killer art department, let them have a little fun by creating a unique art file for the bag touting the event. Whether it's a play on words, a cool design, or a completely off the wall idea that will undoubtedly be remembered, be unique in your advertising methods, especially for something as fun as swag bags. On this notebook, we not only put our logo at the bottom but we also put "Brillian IDEAS" with a light bulb making it a fun promo item. For our custom umbrella, we printed "Rain Check" on one side and our logo on the opposite side.
How Far in Advance Should I Order My Swag Bags?
Timing is everything. Make sure you give yourself enough time to set your budget, choose your promotional products wisely, and have them ordered and delivered well in advance of the event. We recommend giving yourself at least a month for your swag bags. You can spend a week setting your budget and choosing your products, another week creating your art and getting the order placed, and still have plenty of time to get your order delivered and checked by you. Plan on getting your products at least a full week before the event. The last thing you need before an important event is to be waiting until the last minute for your boxes to arrive. Plan early, place your order early, and have it all done in plenty of time.
Swag Bag Themes
Here are some different themes to consider for your swag bag.
The Fun Bag
Sometimes, trade shows and other events may be monotonous or a bit tedious (a.k.a. boring), so offering a fun swag bag will give the attendees something to do to liven up the place. Some great products to include in your swag bag are customized mugs with funny sayings, stress relief balls, customized games, or a t-shirt that says I survived the *insert event name* trade show.
This type of bag can also include customized snacks or candy to rejuvenate the attendees and allow them to get through all of the presentations with ease and sugar.
The Hobby Bag
For this type of swag bag, discover the items that your clients and employees will love by focusing on their hobbies and pastimes. Do your employees enjoy a round of golf, hiking through nature trails, journaling, or another specific hobby? Your swag bags can include items that will encourage their relaxation by providing useful tools for that activity. Golfers always need extra golf balls and accessories and hikers can always use a good custom backpack or a good food storage jar and water bottle to get them through that trail. A person who experiences wanderlust may enjoy getting travel items that follow airport protocol and encourage additional trips and a music lover will love a good pair of headphones or a Bluetooth speaker.
The Home Bag
There is nothing like a relaxing day at home and there's no better time to connect with your clients than when they are comfortable and at ease in their own space. The Home Bag may include customized drinkware, custom blankets, food storage containers, tablet stands, cutting boards, and so many more items that your client can use while sending time in their abode. The idea behind this bag is to include items that are useful and will remind clients of your company's brand and mission at a time when they are not trying to send that last email or dropping their kids off at school on time.
The Personal Care Bag
A little rest and relaxation never hurt anyone and it is necessary to maintain some semblance of normal in today's modern world. The personal care bag will do just that with items specifically chosen to help clients and employees unwind after a long day. Spa gift sets are always a good option for the personal care bag, as are aromatherapy oil diffusers, manicure sets, massagers, and compact mirrors. By making clients and employees feel calm and comfortable, you'll be making a positive connection from them to your brand that will keep your business at the forefront of their minds.
The Personality Type Bag
Every office has the wine enthusiast, the workaholic, the gym rat, the techie, and any other type of person with specific interests. Much like the hobby bag, this swag bag focuses on the individual person or group of people to create a customized swag bag they will love. This is where personality and fun come together with customized beer glasses, custom gym bags, personalized power banks, and so much more.
The Work Bag
Work can be stressful, especially if you don't have the proper supplies to get the job done. Custom padfolios and notebooks, high-quality promotional pens, briefcases, executive desk gifts, and other work-related corporate gifts can help your employees and clients get organized and become more efficient during their workday. Try to find the promotional products that will benefit your employees and clients the most and put those in the swag bag to decrease their work-related stress.
The Ultimate Bag
This combination of goodie bag ideas will ensure there will be at least something the recipient will love and something else they will definitely use, and your marketing efforts won't end up in the trash at the end of the day.

Presenter(s): Rachel C. Shelton, ScD, MPH. Type: Webcast. Level: Introductory Intermediate Advanced. Length: 60 minutes. TRAIN.org link
Annotation: Dissemination and implementation sciences are defined as the systematic study of how a specific set of activities and designated strategies are used to successfully adopt and integrate an evidence-based public health intervention (EBI) within specific settings, and are comprised of four steps: 1) exploration, 2) adoption/preparation, 3) implementation, and 4) sustainment. The overall goal is to reduce the gap between science and practice/policy. Implementation research speaks more to processes and factors associated with successful integration of EBIs within a particular setting, while dissemination research focuses on the processes and factors that lead to widespread adoption and use of EBIs. EBIs are shaped by research evidence, resources, population, and context, and are popularly used due to their demonstrated effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and fast process. In order to successfully select an EBI, interventionists must Identify community needs, assess organizational capacity, and search program registries to select a program. When preparing for implementation, and EBI can either be adopted as is or adapted to fit the local conditions. Adaptation is an important part of the process in order to enhance engagement, reach the audience, address disparities, increase fit and relevance, and reinforce the message. Adaptations can be either surface or deep structure, and the use of either or both should be a conscious, well thought out decision. Surface adaptations use visual and auditory cues for culturally appropriate messages, while deep structure adaptations involves cultural sensitivity and comprehensive understanding of ethnic group's core cultural values, norms, and stressors (economic, social, environmental) affecting health behaviors. Models for guiding adaptation include Card, ADAPT-ITT, and MAP.

O.M. Heynders - LITERATURE AS SOCIAL KNOWLEDGE
My research project addresses the transformation of literature in the current digitalised and mediatised public sphere. This transformation encloses the blurring of text genres (autobiography, essay, novel) and discourses (fictional, realist, historical, journalist, political), the changing roles and performances of authors and readers (fans), and the expanding marketing of literature as well as new forms of publishing.
I currently work on two book projects:
Rethinking Reflexivity, Spirituality and Privacy – Female Public Intellectuals
This is a follow up of the book project published in 2016 at Palgrave Macmillan: Writers as Public Intellectuals. The focus in the new project is on women thinkers, activists and artists and their critical intervention in democratic societies.
Experiences of Migration: Literature as Social Knowledge.
This project combines literary studies and social policies on migration, it takes literature as a specific form of knowledge that can be relevant in societal discussion on migration. Various concepts and metaphors of the journey, route, trajectory, itinerary or path way are discussed in connection to the works of several literary authors, from Gazmend Kapllani to Viet Thanh Nguyen and Jenny Erpenbeck, from Tayeb Salih to Moshin Hamid and others. The hypothesis is that literary descriptions of the experiences (Raymond Williams) of migration and (dis)connection can be used in the new development of social policies on migration and urban planning.
Odile Heynders is Professor of Comparative Literature, and head of the Department of Culture Studies at Tilburg University. She was a fellow at NIAS (Netherlands Institute for the Advanced Study in the Humanities) in 1998/99, and 2004/05. She has published books (in Dutch) on modernist strategies of reading, European poetry, the Dutch intellectual Paul Rodenko, and the history of literature studies in the Netherlands. She published the book Writers as Public Intellectuals, Literature, Democracy, Celebrity at Palgrave Macmillan (2016). Her current research is on experiences of migration in literature, and on female thinkers and activists.

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer are reportedly 'set to become millionaires' after winning Love Island 2018 last night on ITV2.
After eight weeks the Love Island villa has closed its doors for another year and a new couple has been crowned the winners.
Caroline Flack revealed the winners of Love Island 2018 were Dani and Jack last night on ITV2 – They won the cash prize of £50,000 that Jack chose to share with Dani.
According to a report, the couple could now be set to become millionaires.
Celebrity PR expert, Rob Cooper told The Mirror: "One of the smartest things the couple have done without realising is talking about moving in together as soon as they leave. There will now be countless TV production companies putting in offers to follow their first steps moving into a new home and documenting their life outside the Villa."
Rob added: "Dani will be extremely popular with magazines as she's one of the most relatable female personalities on TV and girls will want to know about her life – she'll easily pull in £100,000 from TV and magazine interviews alone this year."
Within the next 12 months, Rob Cooper reckons the couple will pull in an easy £750,000 – £1million following sponsorship deals and collaborations with major brands.
Megan and Wes finished in 4th place, Kaz and Josh finished in 3rd, while Laura and Paul are this year's runners up.

On Military History and Criteria for Most Important Battles: Bigger is not Always Badder
How do we
gauge the relative significance of a given military encounter in the annals of
world history? We naturally tend to
focus on the loudest, heaviest clashes that shout their intensity in the most
overt tones—the Stalingrads and Verduns, those massive set-piece conflagrations
that pit enormous standing armies in each other's firing lines. We also tend to zero in on "decisive" battles
that were crucial in determining the outcome of a war. A decisive battle can also be one that
permanently and fundamentally alters the state of affairs for the war's
aftermath; the Fall of France to the Germans in 1940 and Britain's catastrophic
defeat against the Japanese in Singapore in 1942 both had momentous impacts
over and above the war's immediate causes themselves, since they undercut the
physical and psychological bases for the British and French empires and
undercut these countries' capacities to suppress independence movements,
causing their colonial realms to crumble.
Certain nations, naturally, will tend to have certain wars and
particular battles lodged especially high up in the collective consciousness. In the
In compiling my own short list of crucial military engagements, the big confrontations don't necessarily carry any advantage over small-scale raids between rival villages. And while a battle does have to be decisive as defined above, there are plenty of decisive battles that nonetheless did little to divert the floodwaters of history. We live in a world of finite resources and competing cultures and interests; inevitably we've had many wars, and most of these did little to change the preexisting world (or regional) order. Thus, in my criteria, what matters most is the effect that a particular decisive battle had on the course of historical events. Battles are especially important if they are associated with the rise and dissemination of what becomes a cultural meme, some idea or assemblage of ideas (a religion, philosophical belief, or legal scheme for example) that becomes integral to a culture and eventually spreads on a more global scale. The bearers of these ideas are often challenged by competitors, and when these involve military confrontation, such battles can be extremely consequential in affecting the course of history, since they can define the identity of entire cultures, determining the cultural landscape associated with a given geographical region. In fact, if we examine such influential battles, these are often rather small affairs, sometimes even resembling neighborhood skirmishes, and they generally take place before the second millennium A.D. Obviously, a lot of history has occurred since the year 1,000 A.D. especially with respect to technology, art, and forms of government, but the cultural identity—the ethnic and religious composition, languages, basic customs and laws—of the Eurasian landmass in the year 2004 A.D. largely took shape in the centuries prior to the second millennium, often consequent to small but momentously important military encounters.
The Battle
of Milvian Bridge in 312 A.D. was a conflict within a civil war between two
rival Roman contenders for the imperial purple.
Yet Constantine's victory over Maxentius transformed the Christian faith
from an outcast, persecuted cult with a limited following and a confined
geographical scope into the predominant belief system of the Roman Empire, both
linking the religion to the Roman political and hierarchical structure and
providing the young creed with a large core of worshippers within the vast
expanse of the Roman superstate. The
effects of this battle reverberate profoundly today, since this conflict was
intimately associated with the rise and spread of a defining feature of Western
culture. The Battle of Badr was a
one-day affair in the parched Arabian desert in the year 624 A.D., waged
between two small ad hoc armies of a
few hundred soldiers each, with relatively light casualties. Yet the outcome of Badr—in which the pagan

Twitter's crackdown on violent extremism has resulted in an additional 235,000 accounts being suspended over the past six months, according to a post today on the company's blog.
The service had become one of several online services used by ISIS to spread propaganda and recruit new members. Twitter responded by increasing the staff on its abuse reporting team and leveraging "proprietary spam-fighting tools" that are able to surface accounts that may violate Twitter's policies, the company said.
The suspensions announced are in addition to the 125,000 accounts Twitter said in February it had taken down for promoting terrorism or issuing violent threats.
"We have already seen results, including an increase in account suspensions and this type of activity shifting off of Twitter," Twitter's blog post said.
In a separate update, Twitter also detailed new tools it plans to roll out this week that will allow users to control what they see and who they interact with on Twitter.
Twitter trolls can be proactively banished with notification settings, which will allow users the option of only seeing notifications from people they follow.
When activated, a new quality filter can weed out low quality tweets, such as spam or duplicates, from a user's notifications and other parts of Twitter.
The filtering system won't include accounts a user has recently interacted with or other people they follow, Twitter said.

Ferrostaal Sediments offers solutions for "de-sedimentation", preventing I .e. loss of storage capacity in all kind of water reservoirs. Its innovative process continuously regains storage volume. ConSedTrans® can be implemented as a short-term measure or as a permanent solution for the reservoir.
The accumulated sediment in the reservoir is mobilized and transferred with ConSedTrans® (Continuous Sediment Transfer) further to the downstream river section. The sediment remains in the river system. Since, no material is removed, ConSedTrans® avoids costly dredging campaigns with landfilling and deposition.
Advantages of the ConSedTrans® system:
- ConSedTrans® is very efficient and economic.
- continuously transfers sediment from your reservoir to the downstream river. It replicates the river's natural sediment transfer leaving the sediment in the river system.
- fulfills the high standards of the EU WFD (EU Water Framework Directive).
- is adjustable in its mass transfer performance. Any important limits (e.g. solid concentration) for you and your stakeholders can be adhered to.
- is scalable in its amount of transferred volumes. We design a tailor-made solution for you.
- the quantities transferred by ConSedTrans® are transparently documented in real time. We have full control over the transfer. Its progress can be checked at any time.
- can operate fully automated and unmanned.
- operates effectively throughout the whole reservoir. We can fully restore its storage capacity.
- operation does not have to be stopped during ConSedTrans®. You can maintain your plant availability during the sediment removal.

The first printed Armenian Bible is 350 years old
This year is the 350th anniversary of the first printed Bible in Armenian language. According to the information provided by armchurch.info website, publishing of the book began on March 11, 1666 and was completed by October 13, 1668. The Bible consists of 1462 pages,presented in two columns (2924 columns) and has 159 images.
The basis of this edition was taken from Bible made in 1295 by the order of Hethoum II, the king of Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. The original text was edited by Voskan Yerevantsi in accordance with the Latin translation of the Bible "Vulgate." In the process of publication, he additionally translated and added few books of the Old Covenant which were missing in the version of Armenian canon. Voskan Yerevantsi ordered a luxurious binding for his Bible from the famous Dutch master bookbinder Albert Magnus, which was then gifted to the French King Louis XIV, and now kept in the National Library in Paris.
Voskan Yerevantsi's Bible is one of the best examples of Armenian early printed books.

There is nothing quite like the sound of a cork being eased slowly out of a bottle of wine and that satisfying pop; the whole ritual adds to the anticipation of an evening relaxing with friends and putting the world to rights.
Why cork ? Cork has been used as a bottle closure since the 18th century when the Frenchman Dom Perignon found it worked better on his champagne bottles than wooden pegs wrapped in oily rags. Cork is flexible and can be squeezed into the neck of a bottle forming a tight seal. Pores or lenticels through the cork allow a tiny amount of air through, important for the ageing process of wines.
What is cork ? Cork is taken the bark of the cork oak (or sobreiro in Portuguese). These trees have to be 25 years old before the first cork can be peeled away and then they are harvested every 9 years or so- Lots of patience needed ! The bark is stripped off, boiled, rolled flat and punched to produce cork for bottle closures (or floor tiles, shoes, handbags, purses and even postcards !)
Portugal produces a lot of cork and about half the world's natural cork forests (Montado) can be found in Algarve and Alentejo. Take a drive along the endless straight roads of Alentejo under the huge blue skies and it won't be long before you find yourself driving through groves of cork trees with cattle, sheep and Iberian pigs grazing in the meadows and wildflowers beneath. The cork trees that have been cut have the reddish bark below exposed and numbers painted on them to display when they were last harvested. These cork forests are very important for biodiversity and are home to lots of endangered species like Imperial eagles and Iberian Lynx. They also help keep local economies afloat in these rural far flung parts of Portugal.
In recent years cork has had some bad press due to cork taint, a mouldy wet cardboard smell when the bottle is opened. This led to the rise of screw caps and plastic corks and the cork industry reacted by investing in improvements in the whole production process and the risk of a 'corked' bottle of wine is now less. The subject of bottle closures is still quite contentious and the different camps have their vocal supporters !

Do the Hokey Pokey: Turn Your Mad into Glad
I saw a bumper sticker that said, "What if the Hokey Pokey is really what it is all about?" I tend to agree. I flew out of Macon, Georgia, via Atlanta, a while back. I looked out of my car window and saw no planes flying above as I drove into the airport. To say the least, I was concerned that no flights were departing from the small airport. As I checked in, the gate agent was totally absorbed with clipping his nails. I heard the familiar, "Click….click…click…." "Excuse me," I said. "Isn't there a flight to Atlanta?"

Tonga declared on Monday a state of emergency as the South Pacific island state prepares for severe tropical cyclone Gita that threatens to hit southern Tonga with a potential Category 5 force from Monday night.
According to Matangi Tonga online, the island state's leading news website, Tonga's Acting Prime Minister Semisi Sika declared the state of emergency due to the expected destructive winds and sea level rise.
Tonga has a population of over 100,000.
"We want to emphasize to the people the severity of this tropical cyclone and not take it lightly. The authorities are concerned about people's safety and it is important that they now prepare and make efforts to protect themselves and their properties," said Poasi Tei, Tonga's minister of meteorology, energy, information, disaster management, climate change and communications.
Under the state of emergency, a curfew in the central business district area of the capital city of Nuku'alofa will start from 9:00 p.m. local time Monday until 7:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Commissioner of Tonga Police Stephen Caldwell said on Monday night.
Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Tonga's Ministry of Internal Affairs Onetoto Anisi said they have called on district and town officers to ensure people who needed to be taken to evacuation centers to move on Monday because of the severity and danger of tropical cyclone Gita.
"It is vital that they are moved to buildings that can withstand a category 5 cyclone and ensure there is enough food, drinking water and there are first aid kits and records of people."
Tonga's Director of Meteorology 'Ofa Fa'anunu said a category 5 tropical cyclone will bring winds that have reached 110 knots or around 220-230 km per hour.
Truckloads of soldiers were moving around Nuku'alofa helping with storm preparations.
NASA's satellite images from space show the massive size of the storm, with the first clouds starting to brush Tonga after noon on Monday.
Gita has already caused serious damage in both Samoa and American Samoa.

Apollo Minerals Limited (ASX:AON) has been given the green light to reinstall underground mine services at the historical, high-grade Salau tungsten mine within its Couflens project in southwest France.
This process includes ventilation infrastructure inside the mine with ventilation fans ordered and installation scheduled for late April.
The company expects that this work will take about one month to complete.
Shares are up 40% to an intra-day high of 14 cents.
READ: Apollo Minerals receives high-grade gold and tungsten results from historical Couflens data
Apollo's executive director Hugo Schumann said: "We are pleased to be nearing completion of the program to reinstall mine services at Salau, most notably the installation of ventilation infrastructure after more than 30 years of the mine's closure.
"The Salau mine has the potential to create significant jobs in the Ariege department and to provide a strategic supply of tungsten to French industrial companies who rely on China for most of its supply of this critical raw material."
The mine had average operating grades of 1.5% WO3 during its 15 years of operation before closing in 1986 due to low tungsten prices, rather than depletion of the deposit.
As part of the program, the company will also repair mine supports, secure the working areas for exploration and complete the installation of communication and emergency facilities.
Schumann added: "In the coming days we will deliver the ventilation fan to site and commence with the works needed to bring the mine into a good working condition for the final phase of health and safety checks and our upcoming drilling and sampling programs."
Apollo began a program to reinstall mine service last year following an initial phase of health and safety risk assessments, focused on geotechnical stability, air quality, ventilation tests and water quality.
Exceptional underground conditions
This work confirmed the exceptional underground conditions in the mine with the mine environment benefiting from natural ventilation flows from upper levels which are open.
The required ventilation improvements to support exploration activities are, therefore, minimal and comprise the installation of one fan on the 1430 level, two ventilation doors and two walls.
Apollo is utilising local contractors to carry out the work while goods and services are being sourced locally as part of the company's commitment to invest in the region.
Drill program planned
The company has also shortlisted preferred drilling contractors for the initial underground drilling program at Salau.
This is designed to confirm known zones of tungsten mineralisation and test for extensions of these zones as a precursor to estimating a JORC-compliant mineral resource.
Couflens project comprises a 42 square kilometre licence area and is close to the border with Spain.
The company also has the Aurenere project across the border and which comprises an Investigation Permit under application.
Aurenere covers 27.5 square kilometres and is along strike from and adjacent to, the Couflens project.

I have visited Samoa a lot over 25 years and I know that $1,000 is a King's ransom for many Samoans.
This looks worse for El Ladrón when you consider the thai tiler is an immigrant/worker sponsored by the Fields, under notice from the Samoan Government to shoot through by the end of the month, unable to return to New Zealand because Helen Clark has used her normal tactic of putting the word out to Government Agencies and Ministry's via a contrived media conference, and so on.
Labour and Field have stuffed the thai tiler.

On July 15, the debate of who has the cooler side of Niagara Falls will be over. Canada already has the prettier falls (stop arguing about this) and Mainland, but our brothers to the south still insist their side is better for some reason. Although the Americans have fought valiantly, Canada finally has the indisputable lead. In just a few days, you'll be able to zipline along the Canadian Niagara Falls. Mic drop.
The MistRider Zipline is 2,200 feet in the air and goes from the Niagara Parks Commission's Grand View Marketplace into the Niagara Gorge at speeds of up to 60 km/h. The grand opening is set for July 20, but the ride is open to the public as of this Friday (July 15). Worried about where to leave the kiddies while you have the thrill of a lifetime? Not a problem. Kids as young as seven years old (as long as they're within the weight limits of 65 to 300 pounds) will be able to ride with an adult; it's that safe. Plus, the cost of the minute-long thrill ride is only $49.99 per person. This attraction was built for families.
Staff members have already taken test rides and it looks like a BLAST. Trip to Niagara, anyone? There are very few things that would beat the feeling of soaring over the falls on a beautiful summer day. Currently, the attraction is set to remain open for the duration of the summer and into September. It will close for the winter months for obvious reasons.
Wildplay, the company behind the zipline, is also constructing a second Niagara attraction: Wildplay's Whirlpool Adventure Course. Even the name sounds fun! The attraction has been described as 'a playground in the air for adults' and could open as soon as the end of July. Count us in.
It looks like Niagara Falls is shaping up to be a pretty great destination for your summer vacation. Take the family for a few days and explore everything that the site and city have to offer. On the Canadian side, of course.

- Description of Target:
- The branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids to acyl-CoA and CO2. It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).The BCKDHA gene encodes the E1-alpha subunit of the branched-chain alpha-keto acid (BCAA) dehydrogenase complex (BCKD; EC 18.104.22.168), an inner-mitochondrial enzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacids derived from isoleucine, leucine, and valine. This reaction is the second major step in the catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids (Wynn et al., 1998 [PubMed 9582350]). The BCKD complex consists of 3 catalytic components: a heterotetrameric (alpha2-beta2) branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), a homo-24-meric dihydrolipoyl transacylase (E2; MIM 248610), and a homodimeric dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3; MIM 238331). E1 is a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent enzyme. The reaction is irreversible and constitutes the first committed step in BCAA oxidation. The BCKDHB gene (MIM 248611) encodes the beta subunit of E1. The complex also contains 2 regulatory enzymes, a kinase and a phosphorylase.[supplied by OMIM].

Riverwoods photographer Mark Kaufman's new series of black and white photos, "Diner Society, A Counter Culture," raises a coffee cup to a slice of American social history. His diner photos are on display at Perspective Gallery in Evanston through May 1.
"Each diner has a personality of its own," Kaufman said. "Staff seem like they are there to serve family and not customers. You see truck drivers sitting next to CEOs. There's something warm and comforting about diners that got me on the trail."
Some of Kaufman's favorite spots include Broadway Diner in Columbia, Mo. and Frank's Diner in Kenosha, Wis. "It was one of the true highlights," Kaufman said of Frank's.
Kaufman said Frank's is considered the oldest diner still operating today in the United States. The building was brought by railcar from New Jersey where it was built in 1926, at the height of diner popularity in the United States.
Lately, more and more new restaurants are designed to evoke the look and feel of a dated diner. But Kaufman's lens is directed on the authentic, long-standing spots. "I'm focused on the ones that are stuck in time," he said. "Somehow, even just the stools, even when empty, tell the story of the people who've sat there."
The bustle and frenzy that create the dynamic vibe of a diner also presented Kaufman with some of his greatest challenges while shooting. "Space is always at a premium. People in diners don't sit still. Staff is flying around and I'm there with a big tripod camera and all my other equipment trying to stay invisible and not get into people's faces," he said.
Kaufman's work has evolved even further since he built "the dark room of his dreams" a few years ago in the basement of his home in Riverwoods. "I spent about 10 years picking up things on Ebay and other sites," he said. He bought a 7-foot-long sink from the University of Iowa when their dark room flooded. He found the crowning jewel, a revolving door, in Madison, Wis.
Chris Schneberger, a Perspective Gallery board member and founder, praised the print work and composition of Kaufman's photos. He first met Kaufman over 10 years ago while he was teaching at the Evanston Art Center.
"What I love about the photos are the little clues that these are contemporary photos," Schneberger said. "Kaufman doesn't try to simulate a bygone era." In Kaufman's photos, clothing, food containers and other snippets of modern time unapologetically stand out against a backdrop of nostalgia.
Kaufman plans to continue on the diner trail. Next he hopes to visit Mickey's Diner in Minneapolis and Goody Goody Diner in St. Louis, Mo. He's excited about finding even more special places and, of course, indulging in the fringe benefits of this labor of love. "Some of the diviest joints can serve the best cup of coffee you'll ever have," he said.

Customization: Doable With Cheers POS
We pride ourselves on listening to our clientele. It is for this reason we have made an addition in the products we offer: we now provide the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo (http://www.dymo.com/en-US/labelwriter-450-turbo-label-printer) as an option for printing your labels.
We used to advertise that you did not need a special printer to print your labels (you still do not), and we advocated the Brother DCP-L2540DW (you still have this option). After listening to how we could be even better for our customers, we decided to provide the best for them. Customization. It's what we can do.
And both options allow you the ability to print two different labels.
Why We Offer This Option
Some do not want to, or do not have the time to, print out a sheet full of labels and cut them to size (and then go from product to product to label the shelves). It is for this reason that we decided to go with the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo label printer. It prints as quickly and efficiently as printing out a receipt. The Dymo Label Writer 450 Turbo option provides a way of convenience.
If you decide to go with this option, all you need to do is enter the information you want in your Cheers POS System, print, peel, and stick. There is no cutting and formatting, just print and go.
We want to provide the best for our customers, which is why we offer choices; Cheers POS allows you to choose what you want to do what is best for your business.
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo — Because: YOU!!!
We thought we had a perfect solution regarding label printing, but, our customers showed us we could do better for them. Our owners are very much involved in Cheers POS and they spent a lot of time deciding the best label printer in appreciation for our customers. We knew it had to be fast, neat (as in readable and not smudging), and technological. We worked hard to fully integrate this with Cheers (for, you see, everything we add to our system, has to sync up with it). It works perfectly with Cheers POS and is super easy to use AND efficient for your needs.
Again, we want all of our customers to be happy and 100% satisfied with Cheers POS, which is why we still offer the Brother printer option (or, if you have your own printer that is compatible, we are glad we can save you money).
You helped us to allow all our customers to have this option (can YOUR current point of sale system's manufacturers say the same thing?). Thank you for your input.

Lincolnton Native Stephen Ramseur, Casualty of Shenandoah Campaign
On October 20, 1864, Maj. Gen. Stephen Dodson Ramseur died from wounds received the previous day. Born in 1837 in Lincolnton, he attended Davidson College, where he studied mathematics briefly before entering the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1856. There he became close friends with several future Union generals including George Armstrong Custer.
After graduation Ramseur served with the 3rd United States Artillery stationed in Washington, D.C. He never reported to his new command after a promotion in February 1861 and instead he resigned his commission and offering his services to the Confederacy.
After briefly serving with an artillery unit, Ramseur was appointed colonel of the 49th North Carolina, a regiment he led with distinction at Malvern Hill where he was severely wounded. Promoted to brigadier general and assigned a brigade in the Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, he led his brigade at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor. In the fall of 1864, Ramseur led his division in the Shenandoah Campaign. On October 19, 1864, he was mortally wounded at Cedar Creek, Virginia. Taken prisoner, he died the next day at Union headquarters surrounded by many of his former friends and West Point classmates including General George A. Custer.

Thomas Wolfe and "The Old Kentucky Home"
On October 18, 1929, Charles Scribner's Sons published Look Homeward, Angel, the best-known novel by Asheville author Thomas Wolfe. Inspired by a marble angel outside his father's monument shop on Pack Square, Wolfe wrote his first and largely autobiographical novel about the fictional Gant family wherein the father is a volatile stonecutter and the mother a business-minded boardinghouse operator.
Wolfe was only 6 when his own mother, Julia Westall Wolfe, left her husband and older children and bought the "Old Kentucky Home," a rambling Victorian boardinghouse in downtown Asheville, to which she brought young Tom. With his family divided, Tom felt lost amongst his mother's tenants and resentful of the changes the tourists were wreaking on his hometown.
Always aware of the life and people around him, Wolfe later turned his observations into a novel in which his mother's boardinghouse became "Dixieland" and Asheville, the fictional town of "Altamont." Although names were changed, Asheville residents still recognized Wolfe's characters as themselves and were scandalized. Only in 1937, a year before he died, did Wolfe return home to visit. He was, however, buried in Asheville's Riverside Cemetery. His mother's boardinghouse is now the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, one of 27 state historic sites.

"Choo Choo" Justice Barreled Down the Football Field
On October 17, 2003, football star Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice died at his home in Cherryville at the age of 79. A native of Asheville, Justice acquired his nickname in the Navy, into which he was drafted in 1943. Seeing him dodge tacklers for the Bainbridge Naval Training Center team, an officer remarked, "He looks like a runaway train. We ought to call him 'Choo Choo.'"
After the war, Justice played for the UNC, though many other college vied for his talents. From 1946 to 1949, while Justice played for the Tar Heels, the team had a record of 32-9-2, went to three bowl games and even achieved a number one ranking in the AP Top 10. Justice was named National Player of the Year in 1948, was runner up for the Heisman Trophy in 1948 and 1949 and remains in the record books at UNC for a number of achievements.
Justice played for the Washington Redskins in the National Football League in 1950 and again between 1952 and 1954, before retiring to work in the oil business and then in the insurance industry. He was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 1963.

Old East, UNC-Chapel Hill Landmark
On October 12, 1793, Grand Master Mason and future North Carolina governor William R. Davie helped lay the cornerstone of Old East, the nation's oldest state university building and a dormitory at UNC-Chapel Hill for nearly 220 years.
The brick building housed the university's first student, Hinton James, in 1795, and the future eleventh U.S. president, James K. Polk. Over the years Old East has also held classrooms and offices. It was home to the university library from 1853 through 1869.
Set at the crest of McCorkle Place, the structure originally stood two stories tall but had a third floor added in 1824 to mirror Old West, another dormitory constructed opposite it. The "north towers" added to both buildings in 1848 became the library and debating chambers for the university's two literary societies. Old East was home to the Philanthropic Society (the "Phi"), which took in students from eastern North Carolina, while Old West housed the Dialectic Society (the "Di"), which claimed students from the western half of the state.
Condemned as unsafe in 1922, Old East was extensively remodeled in that year and again between 1991 and 1993, when air conditioning and elevators were added. It became a National Historic Landmark in 1966.

World War I Medal of Honor Recipient Robert Blackwell
On October 11, 1918, Person County native Robert Lester Blackwell was killed when he attempted to
deliver a message asking for help for his unit near St. Souflet, France.
Blackwell's unit had been cut off from the remainder of the force engaged in battle and was exposed to artillery and machine gun fire. The platoon commander ordered that a messenger be sent back for help; that man was promptly killed as was the second person sent behind him. Blackwell volunteered for the task and also lost his life. He was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The citation commended Blackwell for his "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty."
Blackwell's father received the award in a ceremony in the State Capitol. Governor Thomas Bickett spoke, noting that no medal could compensate for Blackwell's death. The family subsequently donated the medal to what is now the North Carolina Museum of History. Blackwell was one of two North Carolinians to receive the medal in World War I, the other being Samuel I. Parker. Blackwell also received the Cross of War from both the Portuguese and Italian governments.

Lemur Jovian, Star of "Zoboomafoo"
On October 4, 1997, Jovian, the lemur that many television watchers came to know as Zoboomafoo, was introduced to the custom made sound stage at the Duke Lemur Center.
Jovian is a Coquerel's sifaka, a species of lemur native to Madagascar. He was selected to appear in the educational wildlife show, "Zoboomafoo," produced by Chris and Martin Kratt. The latter was a graduate of Duke University and had volunteered at the Lemur Center while in school.
The award-winning children's show starred Jovian as Zoboomafoo, and included a puppet lookalike for scenes in which Zoboomafoo talked. For the program, a sound stage was attached to an animal care building, where Jovian lived with his parents while the live portions of the show were being filmed.
Zoboomafoo ended production in 2001. Since then Jovian has enjoyed his retirement in a natural habitat enclosure at the Lemur Center.
The Duke Lemur Center, formerly the Duke University Primate Center, was established to explore the genetic foundations of primate behavior. Today researchers investigate a wide variety of disciplines including behavior, physiology, paleontology and conservation biology.
Visit: The Duke Lemur Center in Durham. Tour information is available on their website.

St. John's at Colonial Williamsboro in Vance County
On September 30, 1956, St. John's Episcopal Church in Williamsboro was reconsecrated by the Right Reverend Edwin A. Penick, Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, following the building's careful restoration.
The Anglican church building, constructed in 1773, is one of only three intact Colonial era churches remaining in North Carolina and the only one of frame construction.
The simple but well-crafted rectangular gable-front building rests on a Flemish bond brick foundation, is sheathed in molded weatherboards and features a modillion cornice and tall 16-pane-over-16-pane double-hung sash windows that illuminate the bright interior characteristic of the auditory Anglican church model.
The interior has an arched ceiling, original gallery with turned posts and boxed pews.
Master carpenter John Lynch built the church according to specifications drawn up in 1771, but it took two years of sporadic effort to complete. It originally was named Nutbush Church and was consecrated as St. John's in 1825.
The small town of Williamsboro sprang up around the building at the heart of the wealthy plantation community in what would become northern Vance County.

Sure, everybody gets excited to spend some quality time on the beach, but maybe not as much as this guy hanging out on the cover of Prince Edward Island's latest travel brochure. Heh.
Do you see what we mean? This guy is really into P.E.I.'s natural assets.
Not only is this … um … stand-out image featured on the cover of the island's 2015 travel guide, the province has printed over 180,000 copies of it.
Naturally, social media took this ball and ran with it — because who can resist pointing out such an epic oversight:
