By now, the end game the Republican Senate majority has in mind in their setting of the rules for the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump is pretty clear to everyone: first deny the Democrats the ability to call witnesses and offer evidence, and then derisively dismiss the charges for lack of evidence. For his part, does former security adviser John Bolton really, really want to testify against his former boss? If there was any competing faction within the Republican Party, there might be some point for Bolton in doing so – but there isn't. More>>

Below are the citation and abstract (and a comment from me) of a new paper in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. (restricted access - full text may be requested here:
CITATION: Sharma BB, Loxton DJ, Murray H,et al. A first step to improving maternal mortality in a low-literacy setting; the successful use of singing to improve knowledge regarding antenatal care. Am J ObstetGynecol 2018;219:615.e1-11. https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(18)30830-5/fulltext
BACKGROUND: Preventable maternal mortality is related to delays inrecognizing the problem, transport to a facility, and receiving appropriate care on arrival. Reducing maternal mortality in low-literacy settings isparticularly challenging. In the rural villages of Nepal, the maternal mortality rate is among the highest in the world; the reasons include illiteracy and lack of knowledge of the needs of pregnant women. Culturally, singing and dancing are part of Nepalese daily life and present an opportunity totransmit knowledge of antenatal care and care at birth with a view toreducing the first 2 delays.
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that health messages regarding the importance of antenatal care and skilled birth assistance would be effectively transmitted by songs in the limited literacy environment of rural Nepal.
STUDY DESIGN: We randomly grouped 4 rural village development committees comprising 36 villages into 2 (intervention and control) clusters. In the intervention group, local groups were invited to write song lyrics incorporating key health messages regarding antenatal care to accompany popular melodies. The groups presented their songs and dances in afestival organized and judged by the community. The winning songs were performed by the local people in a song and dance progression through the villages, houses, and fields. A wall chart with the key health messages wasalso provided to each household. Knowledge of household decisionmakers (senior men and women) was assessed before and after the intervention and at 12 months using a structured questionnaire in all households that also assessed behavior change.
RESULTS: Structured interviews were conducted at baseline, immediately postintervention in the control and intervention areas (intervention n=735 interviews, control n=775), and at 12 months in theintervention area only (n=867). Knowledge scores were recorded as the number of correct items out of 36 questions at baseline and postintervention, and of 21 questions at follow-up. Postintervention, test score doubled in the intervention group from a mean of 11.60/36e22.33/36 (P<.001), with no practically significant change in thecontrol population (17.48/36e18.26/36). Improvement was greatest among the most illiterate members of the community (6.8/36e19.8/36,P<.001). At 12 months follow-up, a majority of the participants (63.9%) indicated that they provided information learned from the songs to their neighbors and friends, and 41.3% reported still singing the songs from the intervention.
CONCLUSION: The use of songs bypassed the limitations of literacy incommunicating health messages that are key to improving maternal care inthis low-literacy rural setting within a developing country. The improvements were maintained without further intervention for 12 months. With appropriate sociocultural adaptation to local contexts, this low-cost method of community education may be applicable to improving maternal healthknowledge and behavior change in other low-resource and limited literacy settings that may lead to reductions in maternal mortality.
Comment (NPW): Singing and drama have long been recognised as important methods of health education. It would be interesting to understand more about how their impact can be enhanced and sustained.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been a force to be reckon.
All season he has dominated the court with his electrifying performances, and for this he has been named 2015's MVP. He beat out equally talented players such as OKC Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and Houston Rockets' James Harden.
In a ceremony honoring Curry, which was held in Oakland, Ca this past Monday, he gave a heartfelt speech in front of his family, coaches and peers. He wore a dark colored suit with a light gray tie. Curry who is an ambassador for Express Men, keeps his style very simply but sharp. Style icon he's not but this year's MVP, he surely is.

text: In the sequential pictures below, I show you the process I go through to repaint my 1971 Swiss Mondia Special. The original finish was quite worn and faded and just did nothing for me. And not being a fan of the original Mondia "fade" paint jobs, I did this one to my taste. Components were removed and polished, frame was stripped to bare metal, etched and epoxy primed, then it was painted in an original style single stage paint, hand rubbed and reproduction decals applied before reassembling the bike. The final result with it's chrome head tube Nervex lugs, chrome fork ends and chrome rear frame sections, popular look of the era, plus all the lovely Campagnolo Record components is nothing short of dazzling. These gorgeous high end bikes from the pre carbon fiber days are like fine jewelry, precision made by artisans of the trade and still perform wonderfully all these decades later.

There are so many blogging posts on what to do, how to succeed, how to improve your traffic and grow your following. You can find every single tutorial out there about the strategies you need to start seeing success and make money blogging but the truth is, there are so many things you need to accomplish before you dive into those strategies. You may have to work out some kinks and find your own way, but to get you started I have 13 secret things you are doing wrong. Seriously. And chances are, no one is telling you. These are the real reasons why you're not making money blogging.
*This post contains affiliate links. Although I may make a commission, all recommendations are my own.
This recommendation is coming from one of the least organized people you will ever meet…or at least I used to be.
If you are hoping for blogging tips to make more money, then it is time you start taking this thing seriously. Carve out time for this dream of yours and stick to it! Snag 2 FREE blog schedule printouts here or check out this amazing Blogging Planner.
But the thing is, I have dreams bigger than just sleeping in. So I wake up for them. You should too.
No matter what your schedule, find a time in your day where you can dedicate a few hours completely to your blog. The most successful bloggers are waking up early, blogging on their lunch break or during their kid's nap times and doing everything they can to make sure they are successful.
If you struggle with schedules and consistency, you will love my blogging course, The Fun Sized Blogging Basics. I will take you through everything it takes to succeed in the blogging world, including creating a quality schedule that works for you.
One of the best blogging tips I can give you is to be consistent.
If you don't have a consistent blog schedule, then it is high time you start. Get a blogging planner. The more you post when you are first getting started, the better. My posts go live every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 5am.
Setting a schedule for your blog posts is huge because not only do your readers know they can count on you, but it also forces you to hold yourself accountable.
Let me take it one step further and say that Google appreciates consistency as well. If you want your little blog to be taken more seriously in Google's eyes, then you have got to take it more seriously yourself!
Checkout this great blogging planner that helps you break your schedule down from months into weeks, keep track of your passwords and plan your SEO perfectly.
This is quite possibly the harshest tip I could give you, but hear me out. Of course your family, friends, and Facebook stalkers would love to read a blog all about your daily adventures and what you think about the world around you but the thing is, the rest of the internet has zero clue who you are.
Until you have built a strong, solid following, it's a good idea to steer clear of getting too chatty about yourself. Now, is this always the case? No. Some bloggers have made a huge success out of their life story and it all started with a blog.
But more often than not, the people who see success with their blogs are the ones who write for others.
People out in the world are searching for answers. They need help with something, they need advice, a recipe or a DIY tutorial.
I cringe when I browse Pinterest and see a post that says, "My 5 favorite books this year." —who are you?! How do I know I will like your books? What genre?! Tell me more. —no one is going to click that link.
If you're still not convinced, think about what you type into Google in a day. Do you type things like, "Great diets for weight loss." "How to get out of debt." and "Chicken dinner recipes?" — Chances are you are using these types of searches more than you are looking for a random strangers top 5 favorite books.
Now just because I said people don't care about you, doesn't mean you can't use your experiences to help others.
Keep this in mind when you are writing your posts. Did you have a really rough experience with your toddler yesterday? Instead of writing out a story that tells people what happened, find a way to make it a teaching point for other moms.
Now when you write this post, you absolutely should talk about yourself and your experience!! –People also want to know they are not alone. They'll enjoy relating to you and are more likely to join your e-mail list or follow you on social media when they know you are relatable and helpful!
As you learn these types of things on how to improve your blog, you have got to be willing to roll with the punches. If you love writing posts about how to style an outfit, but no one is reading them…your audience is talking to you. They're asking for a little change. Does your one post about how you organize a sock drawer do really well? Then listen to that. Maybe organization is where you really shine.
If you want more readers, then you have got to be willing to write about what they want to read about.
Don't let your pride stand in your way so much that you think you are the exception to every rule. Because I totally did. When I saw the pins that other people were pinning, I decided I wanted mine to stand out. I would take my own, creative photos and come up with catchy titles….and they never got clicked on. Which brings me to my next point.
A lot of people who want to start a blog do so because they have a passion for writing. It's a natural talent of theirs so they think they will fall head over heels in love with the wide world of blogging.
One major blogging tip truth is that running a blog also requires graphic design, technical skills, a marketing mindset and structure. These aren't all necessarily things creative people possess.
You have to be mindful of how you structure your post and how you create your graphics for your pins on Pinterest. Here are some quick tips to get you started:
That grand 'ol internet of ours is filled with tons of blogging tips and how to start making money and you should be taking advantage of it all. I was recently talking to someone about my blog and how I operate my affiliate links, courses and social media. My friend turns to me and says, "How do you know all of this?" and the truth is … most of it was free. It came from blog posts (like this one)
If you are not taking full advantage of every ounce of free blogging information, then you are missing out my friend. Yes, you are going to definitely heard a lot of the same things over and over again. But that should only reassure you that those things are true.
I know, I know you're learning to blog so you can make money but have you ever heard the phrase, "It takes money to make money?" Well, it's true! Any single successful business owner will tell you this.
Treating your blog like an investment is one of the wisest things you can do. Sure, it doesn't cost much to simply start a blog, but in order to make it thrive there are a few things I highly recommend investing in:
These are are blogging courses that I have gone through and fully recommend.
My personal course creation platform of choice is Teachable.
Teachable is a great way to create your own courses so that you have an additional way to make money with your blog. The best part is, Teachable is totally free to get started.
Why I recommend paying for Teachable:
The main reason why I would recommend paying for Teachable ($29 per month minimum) is to have the use of affiliates! You are able to create your own affiliates for your courses with this plan. That means people who take your courses can recommend them to other people. When they do this, they will get part of the profits and you will get the rest!
Creating your own affiliates of your own is a great way to make more money, reach a wider audience, and do less work! Get started with Teachable.
Automation tools are tools that are designed to take some major workload off of you. My personal favorite is Tailwind.
Tailwind is a great tool that helps you schedule pins to Pinterest so that you aren't spending hours each day doing this.
I discuss my personal Pinterest strategy in my course, Fun Sized Blogging Basics. You can actually watch me schedule my pins on Tailwind, see how I manually pin and get all the best tips for setting up a quality Pinterest profile. Get 30 FREE days with Tailwind.
There are a ton of great, free ways to start your e-mail list when you first start blogging, but there are great reasons why you might consider paying for one as well.
When I started blogging, I decided to pay for e-mail marketing with Constant Contact. I paid less in the beginning because I had fewer people on my e-mail list but because of Constant Contact's helpful sign ups and automation tools, my list quickly grew to 10K which meant I was quickly paying more for their services.
Because I pay for e-mail I can do automated e-mails where they send a new e-mail each day when people sign up for a certain e-mail course. I am able to take polls to learn more about what my readers want. I get detailed reports on which e-mails are opened and what links are clicked on and can even send out multiple e-mails to see which one does better. Check out Constant Contact.
This is a tough one for most bloggers because there are so many things we could easily write about on a daily basis. In the wide world of blogging, you will also run into a lot of people telling you to either "niche down" or telling you it doesn't matter at all!
Here is my basic, super simple blogging tip behind why you should be willing to niche down: You can focus better on one thing.
If your blog isn't gaining traction and you are writing about multiple things, I highly recommend niching down for a while. Instead of writing about food, finances, makeup, DIY and motherhood try choosing one topic.
If you choose to focus on only one topic you will be able to perfect this area and learn more about what these types of readers want. After you have mastered one niche, then work on expanding.
Learning your audience is crucial to seeing success and it's hard to learn an audience when you are trying to cater to multiple different ones.
A lot of times bloggers get so excited by the idea of monetizing that they throw around affiliate links in a really half-assed way. Excuse my language.
Doing this can come across as really inauthentic and might even drive people away. Take the time to focus on high quality content with a few affiliate links. Work to get readers to come back to your site and build trust with them before you start asking for money.
So, how do you start making money with affiliate links without sounding spammy?
Just like niching down can help you to focus more on one things, so can using less affiliates.
Pick 5 affiliates that you strongly support or believe in and focus on naturally and authentically mentioning them in your posts.
In my course, there is a free lecture all about how to create affiliate links. If you are unsure of how to, make sure you check that lecture out.
Using less affiliates can help you focus in on how to make these few affiliate links work for you, you can narrow in on how to promote them and any consistent readers will start to see how much you really recommend these specific affiliates which will make them more likely to click your link.
One of my biggest struggles when using affiliate marketing was using sneaky wording to promote different affiliates.
For example:
There is an awesome app that saves you tons of money.
There is an awesome app called Ibotta that can save you a ton of money when shopping or planning vacations, and you get $10 totally free just for signing up! Sign up with Ibotta.
See the difference? The "awesome app" link is not going to get you nearly enough clicks. It may not be as glamorous just getting strait to the point with your affiliate links, but it is exactly what your readers need.
This all comes back around to that darn creative side of the brain again. While your creative side is wonderful, this is another area where you might be getting yourself into trouble.
I used to write catchy blog titles like, "Every light in the house is on." It was a great post written about how when you see houses with lights on everywhere it usually means that every family member is s p r e a d out. They are separate from one another. One light, in the center of the house often means dinner time or family game night.
–This post was naturally read and adored by my personal Facebook friends, but that's it.
Now I would find a less creative way to write this post and the title. Maybe "How to Save on Your Electric Bill and Bring Your Family Closer Together." (wink, wink.)
Do not write a post, link an affiliate, or promote a sponsor that you do not actually support!
This was a struggle when I first started doing more minimalist focused posts. — "How in the world am I going to make money when I support owning less?" — I can't link to Amazon purchases, I can't recommend new, fun toys….what am I going to do? I'll totally fail.
Not. true. at. all. Like I said, before you focus on monetizing, just work on building a following. Affiliate linking and brands will just come naturally. I gathered a few ideas for those of you who may be in the same boat…
If I haven't said this enough yet, remember that you content is key! No matter how many bloggers told me this, I just continually didn't listen. You have got to be giving something back to your readers, or they will not come back. If you keep pushing for sales or writing half-assed posts, people will catch on.
Build a solid, strong following through quality content. When the audience comes, the opportunities for making money will follow!
When I first started my blog, it was actually a health and fitness blog. I…July 25, 2019

Dog Friendly Santa Cruz: So much more than the boardwalk
Santa Cruz, the beautiful coastal town in Northern California is famous for its boardwalk, much like Coney Island near Manhattan. There is a very different side to this sleepy little beach town that includes hidden beaches, redwood groves with some of the world's tallest trees (coastal redwoods) and a cute little downtown with lots of good eats. What made us choose this town for our weekend getaway is because Santa cruz is extremely dog friendly as well and is a mere 1.5 hrs south of San Francisco. Continue reading this post for dog friendly hikes in Santa Cruz, dog friendly restaurant suggestions and a fantastic dog friendly B&B right in the heart of the giant redwoods, where we stayed. If you are wondering about other weekend getaways with your dog in the San Francisco Bay Area besides dog friendly Santa Cruz, here is my guide to 5 dog friendly Bay Area day trips that will guarantee a fun vacation with your pet! For more ideas on what to do in Santa Cruz with your kids, here is an excellent post on what to do in Santa Cruz by my blogger friend Harmony.

Dog Friendly hotels in Santa Cruz: where to stay with your canine buddy
Santa Cruz is riddled with options for dog friendly hotels, i.e. places which allow dogs to stay with/without a fee/night. The thing is if you start searching for pet friendly hotels on the internet, you will come across those same cookie-cutter chain hotels that welcome dogs in Santa Cruz or similar fancier establishments that are in downtown or those that boast of being near the beach and boardwalk. Because of the location, these pet friendly hotels are pretty expensive and all of them charge an extra fee for dogs. On the other end of the spectrum are the dinky motels, that may come cheap but really do not provide an inch of comfort and are simply places to rest your butt after a day out. Not good for you or your fur-baby who will more often than not, be stressed out in a new location. All this underscores the importance of finding a peaceful haven/ place of rest where you and your canine companion can unwind at the end of the day in dog friendly Santa Cruz. A spot of zen far away from the din and bustle of touristy areas which envelopes you in a blanket of utter calm once you set foot in it. Now imagine such a place right in the middle of a lush redwood grove, thick with dense vegetation, greenery and acres of redwood trees standing tall and silent all around. Rustic lodges with modern amenities nested inside with steps flanked by flowering shrubs and a home-cooked morning breakfast served in a lawn amidst the redwoods, with strains of Sitar wafting in the background, lulling you to a state of nirvana. This, my friends, and more is what Redwood Croft, a dog friendly B&B in the town of Bonny Doon has to offer. If you are wondering where to stay in Santa cruz with your dog, I cannot recommend this place enough. Sure, it is pricier than your regular B&Bs but that is a small price to pay for the delicious breakfast, kind hospitality and the tranquility of the redwoods surrounding you.
Dog Friendly Santa Cruz: Our Bonny Doon B&B experience
Bonny Doon is a census designated town in Santa Cruz and is located at an elevation of 450m, surrounded by several reserves and state parks and about a 30 min drive from downtown Santa Cruz. Redwood Croft Inn, a dog friendly establishment, nestled right in the heart of the Redwood forest of Santa Cruz mountains and is the perfect getaway place for both human and pets. An incredibly warm and hospitable place to both two and four legged beings, owners Sitah and Dale Cummings are the perfect hosts one can ask for. They have two beautiful dogs-3 and 16 yrs old, who were extremely friendly and sweetest to boot. Sitah prepares amazing breakfast for guests every morning and weather permitting, one can have it outside in the balcony surrounded by the giant trees. She happily accommodates dietary restrictions upon prior notice, as she did for S. There are several rooms on the property and ours was a beautiful one with skylights to get a slice of the redwoods peeking from above. The room was beautifully decorated and there were thoughtful touches strewn all around, such as wine glasses with a bottle opener, in case one gets a bottle from one of the local wineries (Santa Cruz mountains are famous for their vineyards) to enjoy. The toiletries in the bathroom (the bath has a charming stone bathing tub and is separated from the toilet) are from a local farm, and the closet has a microwave and mini-fridge. All these amenities, an old-world wood-burning furnace (you can get a room heater if that seems too daunting) and the amazing greenery all around comes at a price which is way too reasonable for what this place offers. Best of all, there is no extra charge for pets.
One can spend an entire day exploring the property or simply sit back and relax and take in the zen of this calming atmosphere in dog friendly Santa cruz. No matter how much I tried clicking, I don't think the photos do enough justice to the beauty of this place and the priceless tranquility that it offers. Babu had a blast sniffing and exploring the grounds and we were so happy to have chosen this place over others in noisy downtown. I highly recommend all dog lovers or simply folks who love them some peace, quiet and a lap of mother nature, to stay at Redwood Croft if they get a chance. One of the best places we've stayed hands down. And finally in case you are still wondering about that thing of utmost importance, the place does have wi-fi service.
Dog Friendly beaches in Santa Cruz
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" goes the famous adage. When in a beach town like Santa Cruz, simply find a beach close by and bum out on the sand. Unlike other parts of California, Santa Cruz has ample dog friendly beaches which welcome dogs on a leash. Beaches are either along Cabrillo Highway (Highway 1) or to the south of the Boardwalk. We picked Greyhound Rock beach, a mere 17 min north of us and made our way down the paved path adjacent to the parking lot, towards the blue water. The parking lot has an overlook which was pretty crowded, but the funny thing was that the trail leading to the beach was oddly empty. That turned out to be a great thing since we got glimpses of an empty beach and fantastic views of the foamy waves hurling against the rocks as we descended to the clear white sand below.
Greyhound beach turned out to be fantastic gem of a stretch with almost no human in sight (barring another man and his water loving pooch and two sun-bathers) and thus it felt as if the beach belonged to us. We walked along the periphery of the waves, marveled at some of the extremely polished, flat stones and then settled down on one of the dry spots on the sand. Babu ran around, frantically dug up several bunkers to rest in at several times and then finally plopped himself right between us. We rested for some time and then made our way back up to our next destination, a dog-friendly Redwood State Park.
Dog friendly hikes Santa Cruz: Hiking in Redwood state park
Unlike Redwood country up north in Mendocino, where nary a Redwood reserve can be found in sight that lets dogs in, Santa Cruz springs in a lovely surprise with several of them, the nearest to us being the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. There is an entry fee of $ 10 for vehicles (for the park's maintenance) and you get a map at the entrance which has all dog friendly hiking trails clearly marked. Since this is also an ecological reserve for wild animals calling the redwoods their habitat and many trails are shared by horses/horse-riders, dogs do not have access to those as they are considered natural predators. The most popular dog friendly trail is a paved pathway (Pipeline Road) that goes right through the Redwoods and leads to the nearest Redwood grove, with trees as tall as 277 feet and about 1500 years old! This state park preserves a 40-acre grove of the tallest tree species on earth, i.e. the coastal Redwoods and the trees here are taller than the ones at the Muir Woods National Monument near San Francisco. We were fascinated to know that the tallest Redwood tree (379 feet) surpasses the Statue of Liberty in height (305 ft) and that they have a very unique growth pattern, i.e. they are self-regenerating. On our way along this Santa Cruz dog friendly hiking trail, we saw several trees that had fallen to the ground, with branches growing vertically upwards towards the sun from the prostate trunk. Our dog friendly hike in Santa Cruz lasted for a mere 40 min, but if you have more time then do explore further inwards with other plant ecosystems and if you are not traveling with pets, then there are several other options to explore such as the observation deck and ranch and the cable car beach. Plus we also spotted a heritage train chugging along with the Roaring Camp Railroad nearby which should be a fun activity for kids.
Dog friendly Santa Cruz downtown
Besides going on dog friendly hikes in Santa Cruz, you might also want to explore its cute as button downtown that is very welcoming to pets. Downtown Santa Cruz is a nice few blocks of stores and restaurants, all buzzing with activity. Pacific avenue forms the main artery but the streets around have many local favorites like Penny ice creamery (Santa Cruz's only ice-cream parlor where the icy desserts are made from scratch) and many charming boutiques selling local, artisanal jewelry and clothes. Overall downtown Santa Cruz is incredibly dog friendly since most restaurants have outdoor seating area and many stores welcome dogs. Here and here are two good resources for all things dog-friendly in Santa Cruz, which are excellent resources to ensure that your pooch has a great time vacationing!
Finally, here is a separate post on all the tasty, dog-friendly dining spots in Santa Cruz, where you can enjoy a delicious meal without your dog having to sweat it out in the car, miserable and alone. Thanks so much for reading!

The Future of Multimedia in Education
Many predictions have been made about the future of education, the demise of the classroom-based teacher, and an information technology lead revolution in schools, universities and organisations. Often it is espoused in glowing terms that push the agenda of equity and access. But what are the dangers, the impediments and costs in both human and quality terms? This paper will look at the strategic development of educational models that are designed to exploit current technological opportunities by placing the issues in context and challenging both new and traditional models.

Good Idea, but you need to sell some with the leads coming off of a side... way easer to integrate...good idea though!!!
I'm making a PCB with eagle... I did not find them in it.. any ideas?
Will this work with 3.3v Sparkfun brand arduinos?
About how long will a Xbee (transmitting data about every hour), and Arduino Pro Micro (3.3v), and a sensor pulling 12ma be able to last running on this? The battery is Alkaline (2000 Mah)
Not changing all my passwords. If they had my passwords they would have hacked my accounts already... This thing has been going around for two years...
Not anymore...
Looks like you should run sales more often... you get 100% the normal amount of business!
What is the average number of orders made each day? Anything near the previous record of 4,000?
Did you make any money off the boards? It seems like the components/pçb cost more then the price you were selling them for.
I agree!

A MASSIVE hotel, office and residential development in Cork's docklands is to commence by the end of the summer after the sole objection to the plan was withdrawn.
HQ Developments has proposed the construction of more than 200 apartments, office space for 5,000 people and a 136-bed hotel on a 6.1-acre site next to Kent Station.
The office space will cover 37,000 square metres in three blocks, with 237 apartments spread over four blocks.
The hotel will include a rooftop restaurant along with retail and restaurant space.
The €160 million Horgan's Quay development is one of the most ambitious in the city centre confines and is viewed as a crucial component of the revamp of Cork's docklands.
Planning permission was granted by city planners in February, clearing the way for the project to proceed. However, an objection was lodged by the Port of Cork in late March, leaving the plan in limbo.
In their submission, the Port of Cork said the development was premature pending the development of a local area strategy.
However, the Port of Cork confirmed that all concerns which were raised regarding the proposed development have now been satisfied by HQ Developments Ltd.
"As a result, the Port of Cork Company has decided to withdraw the third-party appeal which was lodged against HQ Developments Ltd for a mixed-use development at Horgan's Quay, Railway Street and Lower Glanmire Road, Cork and support the development going forward."
HQ's plan includes apartments, open plazas, a hotel and other retail amenities.
A spokesperson for HQ Developments Ltd confirmed that the developer plans 'to be on site by the end of the summer'.

… Guessing Sarah's character has at least 3 ranks of it, and some maxed out stealth.
Ahh yes… The Sneaky Changeling. My Gravewight had that going for him. Absurd amounts of sneaky. Add in the fact that I can walk very quietly when I want to in Real Life, and you have a perfect recipie for the maggot-riddled corpse showing up behind you when you least expect it.
"So anyway, I'm not saying it's a bad idea, its just… *shudder* He's behind me again, isn't he?"
Yay! That is all I wanna say cuz' this web comic is amazing!
HAH! Mark check's under Katie! Classic!
Hehe. Really loving the interaction in that motley.
Ah, the Winter Court. When in doubt, assume there's at least 3 members in any room.
scooby doo reference ? 😛
You want ninjas? Fine. Here you go:
My changeling character was sneaky as hell, which was made all the more impressive by the fact he was seven feet tall and dressed exclusively in reptile skins, which included a trench coat of blackgator hide in which he carried a machete at all times, and a shotgun most of the time. Basically, think terrifying seven-foot panther with an attitude problem. Problem is, my motley included a light-themed diplomancer, and my DM was a big fan of talking. In two years of playing, I actually got to fight maybe a dozen times, and I never got to sneak up on anyone because he'd always go talk to people! I'd have been more pissed if he hadn't been so damn good at it.

Application Timeline
This article applies to Visual Studio 2015. If you're looking for the latest Visual Studio documentation, use the version selector at the top left. We recommend upgrading to Visual Studio 2019. Download it here
Use the Application Timeline profiler to find and fix application-interaction related performance issues in XAML applications. This tool helps improve the performance of XAML applications by providing a detailed view of the applications' resource consumption. You can analyze the time spent by your application preparing UI frames (layout and render), servicing network and disk requests, and in scenarios like Application Startup, Page Load and Windows resize.
Application Timeline is one of the tools you can start with the Debug / Performance Profiler... command.
This tool replaces the XAML UI Responsiveness tool that was part of the diagnostic toolset for Visual Studio 2013.
You can use this tool on the following platforms:
Universal Windows apps (on Windows 10)
Windows Store 8.1
Windows Phone 8.1 (Common XAML Platform)
Windows Presentation Foundation (.Net 4.0 and above)
Windows 7
You can collect and analyze CPU usage data and energy consumption data along with the ApplicationTimeline data. See Run profiling tools without debugging
Collect Application Timeline data
You can profile the responsiveness of your app on your local machine, connected device, Visual Studio simulator or emulators, or a remote device. See Run profiling tools without debugging.
If possible, run the app directly on the device. The application performance observed on the simulator or through a remote desktop connection might not be the same as the actual performance on the device. On the other hand, collecting the data by using the Visual Studio Remote Tools does not affect the performance data.
Here are the basic steps:
Open your XAML app.
Click Debug / Performance Profiler.... You should see a list of profiling tools in the .diagsession window.
Select Application Timeline and then click Start at the bottom of the window.
You might see a User Account Control window requesting your permission to run VsEtwCollector.exe. Click Yes.
Run the scenario you are interested in profiling in your app to collect performance data.
To stop profiling, switch back to the .diagsession window and click Stop at the top of the window.
Visual Studio analyzes the collected data and displays the results.
Analyze Timeline profiling data
After you have collected the profiling data, you can use these steps to start your analysis:
Examine the information in the UI thread utilization and Visual throughput (FPS) graphs and then use the timeline navigation bars to select a time range that you want to analyze.
Using the information in the UI thread utilization or Visual throughput (FPS) graphs, examine the details in the Timeline details view to discover possible causes for any apparent lack of responsiveness.
Report scenarios, categories, and events
The Application Timeline tool displays timing data for scenarios, categories, and events that are related to XAML performance.
Diagnostic session timeline
The ruler at the top of the page shows the timeline for profiled information. This timeline applies to both the UI thread utilization graph and the Visual throughput graph. You can narrow the scope of the report by dragging the navigation bars on the timeline to select a segment of the timeline.
The timeline also displays any user marks that you have inserted, and the app's activation lifecycle events.
UI thread utilization graph
The UI thread utilization (%) graph is a bar chart that displays the relative amount of time spent in a category for during a collection span.
Visual throughput (FPS) graph
The Visual throughput (FPS) line graph shows the frames per second (FPS) on the UI and composition thread for the app.
Timeline details
The details view is where you will be spending most of your time analyzing the report. It shows a detailed view of CPU utilization of your application categorized by the UI Framework subsystem or the system component that consumed the CPU.
The following events are supported:
|Time spent parsing XAML files and creating objects.
Expanding a Parsing node in Timeline details displays the dependency chain of all the XAML files that were parsed as a result of the root event. This will enable you to identify unnecessary file parsing and object creation in performance sensitive scenarios and optimize them out.
|In large applications, thousands of elements may be shown on the screen at the same time. This might result in a low UI frame rate and correspondingly poor application responsiveness. The Layout event accurately determines the cost of laying out each element (i.e. the time spent in Arrange, Measure, ApplyTemplate, ArrangeOverride, and ArrangeOverride) and builds the visual trees that took part in a Layout pass. You can use this visualization to determine which of your logical trees needs pruning, or to evaluate other deferral mechanisms to optimize your layout pass.
|Time spent drawing XAML elements to the screen.
|Time spent retrieving data from the local disk or from network resources that are accessed through the Microsoft Windows Internet (WinINet) API.
|App Code
|Time spent executing application (user) code that is not related to parsing or layout.
|Xaml Other
|Time spent executing XAML runtime code.
Choose the CPU Usage tool along with the Application Timeline tool when you start profiling to view app methods that execute on the UI thread. Moving long-running app code to a background thread can improve UI responsiveness.
Customizing Timeline details
Use the Timeline details toolbar to sort, filter, and specify the annotations of Timeline details view entries.
|Sort by
|Sort by start time or the length of events.
|Adds or removes a top-level Frame category that groups events by frame.
|Filters the list by selected categories and the length of events.
|Lets you specify the annotations to events.

Bucket List
Although together for over 30 years, Joan and Helen had only been married since federal marriage laws had changed in 2015. Now just entering their 80's and in excellent health, Joan had chosen no pension survivor payments when she retired 15 years ago. At that time you had to be legally married to your partner to choose a survivor benefit. Common law relationships were not recognized for pension purposes for heterosexual or same sex couples.
Joan had been a corporate attorney and Helen a chef. They lived on about $15,000 a month, $9200 of which was the pension payments. They still had a $1 million mortgage with $6,000 a month payments on their $7 million home in West Hollywood, CA. If Joan passed away first, Helen would have to sell their home to survive. Neither of them wanted that.
Their tax CPA referred them to me. We discussed various options and finally decided upon a $3 million reverse mortgage with a right of last survivor. This meant the loan would not have to be paid or repaid while either of them was alive. We paid off their mortgage and gave them $2 million to invest; which at only 5% gave them $100,000 more a year that for now they decided to ethically reinvest.
By paying off the mortgage and lowering their overhead by $72,000 per year and securing additional income of $100,000 a year, we not only solved the problem of what would happen to Helen should Joan pass away first, we improved the quality of their life together as a couple. They now had much more disposable income and were able to really make a dent in their bucket-list with no worries about their future.
These are real stories about people like you who have benefited from a mortgage program designed by Marc Gertz.
Only their names have been changed or omitted.

The Kobe 8 "Spark" has received a good reception so far as another entry into a strong run of colorways being released as we await details on the the ninth Kobe Bryant signature shoe, and dome new images have surfaced online that give us a look at a couple of different angles.
What we've been calling the Spark may actually be known as the Firework colorway. The graphic print sat atop the red/orange base is certainly reminiscent of a pattern left in the sky by the Chinese gunpowder concoction.
Check out the images and stick with MidwestSole for release information as it becomes available.

Modernization of the Center
As already known, the Center's structure was formed thanks to equipment from Russia - fire-rescue vehicles, robotics and reserves intended for use in the liquidation of consequences of emergency situations, such as fires and floods, and to ensure the actions of the personnel of the RSHC and Serb colleagues.
Over the past years of its work, much of this has been transferred to operational use by the units of the Serbian Emergency Management Sector branch of the Ministry of Interior and local authorities to eliminate local crisis situations, as well as international organizations to eliminate humanitarian problems by deploying points for admission and placement of migrants in Presevo, Kanjiza and Sid.
A powerful impetus for the development of the Center this year, was the decision of the Government of Serbia to transfer the ownership of the building in which RSHC is currently located, to the Ministry of Interior, which allows further work on its modernization and transformation into a logistics and training center.
Moscow from its side, within the framework of the Agreement between Russia and Serbia, continues to support the activities of the Center and, in particular, replenishing its reserves. This year, it is planned to supply 5 tons of materials used for the liquidation of emergencies - generators, beds, pillows and other, as well as equipment for creating a powerful training base "Sturm" test site, which is scheduled for delivery in December this year. After its installation and commissioning, the Center will become unique humanitarian structure in all the Balkans, where it will be possible to train not only representatives of various departments of Serbia, but also colleagues from neighboring countries. In addition, a significant amount of equipment was purchased in Serbia. The total cost of purchased goods is more than 400 thousand dollars.
Today, at the reception of the Russian cargo, there were guests - employees of the Emergency Management Sector of the Ministry of Interior of Serbia and a representative of the Russian Embassy in Belgrade.
All Center's staff and all their friends are happy about this step in the development of the RSHC and hope for the revitalization of its activities!

Did you know, for example, that stress accounts for most workplace illness? Indeed, millions of working days are lost to it each year. So having somewhere to completely detox and unwind at home at the end of the day could do amazing things for your health and wellness. According to the Global Wellness Institute, last year the worldwide wellness industry was worth $4.2 trillion, which gives you an idea of the scale of this area. It seems we all place more value on our well-being than ever before. By blending exercise and relaxation, ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology one can create the ultimate spa package. You could also, for example, have yoga and meditation areas as well as a full gym. What do I need to create a spa at home? One of the first things to consider is installing a fully integrated steam room or sauna. There are so many ways one of these could improve wellness, from enhanced relaxation and circulation to muscle and joint pain relief. These days, your luxury home spa can incorporate a range of mod cons, such as audio visual systems, soft lighting, smart climate-control solutions, and seamless integration with automation systems. This creates different moods at the touch of a button. For an even more luxurious experience, consider a modern take on a Turkish bath or hammam. Or you may want to include a plunge pool, and keep the water at a chilly 5 degrees for jumping into after your sauna to boost the immune system and aid circulation. Alternatively, salt sauna therapy is gaining in popularity. Walls are lined with blocks of rock salt, with LED lights set behind them. Users bathe in the light streaming through the salt walls as the ions in the air become positively charged, providing a wealth of health benefits. Other features one can add are a range of hydrotherapy effects to the pool, from a Jacuzzi area to volcano jets and sprays to massage individual parts of the body, A pool on its own is no longer enough. Think natural and use materials like wood and stone. Plants can also help create a lush environment. We recently wrote about biophilic design, and these principles are perfect for designing a spa. At Rachel Laxer Interiors we've got a wealth of experience in wellness interior design and can create the ultimate luxury spa for your home. Get in touch with us today to find out more.

Lyse Doucet, BBC's Chief International Correspondent, discussed the advantages she found to being a western woman reporter in Afghanistan, as well as the fear of sexual assault. Marina Walker Guevara is Deputy Director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists; she says the vast majority of journalists who are killed were investigating human rights violations.

Should you tip a skycap for wheelchair assistance at the airport? If so, how much is appropriate? A lot of people are really confused about this pretty straightforward issue.
This fact was aptly illustrated as I was waiting at the gate last week, and a skycap wheeled a 60-something lady over to departure lounge. Her companion followed close behind. The skycap situated the lady close to the gate, put on the wheelchair brakes, made a little small talk and then did what I call the "tip shuffle". He was waiting for her to go for her purse, but she didn't make a move. When it became apparent that he was getting stiffed, he smiled, sighed and then left. I mean, what else could he do?
After he left her companion piped in with, "Marge, you should have tipped that man." Marge laughed and replied, "Why? He was just doing his job? I shouldn't have to pay anybody for that."
So who was right? Marge or her companion?
In this case, Marge's companion has the correct answer.
You should always tip a skycap for any assistance they provide. Just like you should always tip a bellman or a shuttle driver. AB or dis — you should always tip these service workers.
Does this mean you should always tip anyone in an airport who provides assistance? No. If an airline employee (note the uniform and the ID badge) provides assistance, tipping is not required. Same goes for those cart drivers in the large airports (like MSP and DFW); no tip is required. And for goodness sakes if you have your own wheelchair and push yourself and don't need any assistance with your luggage, then again, no tip is required. But if you do need luggage assistance (and by this I mean pushing it across the airport, not merely lifting it up at the check-in counter) then yes, a tip is required.
And what's the going rate? For skycap assistance at the airport, $5 is appropriate for regular assistance; more if they provide extra services (like helping you make a flight that you probably would have missed had they not been there). You should also tip the hotel bellman $1 per bag and the hotel shuttle bus driver the same. If you have a scooter or wheelchair that the shuttle bus driver stows in the back, tip a few bucks for that too. If you stay in your wheelchair during the trip, no additional tip is necessary.
Some people (like Marge) feel they shouldn't have to pay extra for service, but remember skycaps and bellman are in an industry where tipping is the norm. The provide a service, and customers tip them for that service.
Although tipping is a personal choice (and based on service) I don't think you should stiff anybody unless the service was egregious. For example, let's say the skycap just left you sitting halfway to the gate, while he stopped and chatted with a friend; and because of this delay you missed your flight. In that case, no tip is required.
Some people tell me that they just don't have the budget to tip (I hear this from cruise passengers a lot). My reply to that is that tipping is part of the cost of travel. You *need* to include it in your budget. If you don't have enough money to tip, then you really don't have enough money to travel. Just like, if you don't have enough money to tip a waitress, then you do not have enough money to eat in that restaurant.
Personally I hate it when I see a PWD stiff somebody. It makes me cringe because it perpetuates that myth that all PWDs are poor, unemployed and on public assistance. We all know that's not true, but when you stiff somebody that's the impression they get. Don't help perpetuate this myth. Remember to tip appropriately.

A little anecdote: I wanted to get whole seasons of Dexter, Mad Men and Breaking Bad for someone in my family, but they would have to be dubbed in German since this person doesn't understand English. Since this person also just received some new hardware with a Blu-Ray drive and has a flat-screen TV, I thought it'd be great to buy those series as season packs on Blu-Ray, German version. I already had the HDTV rips in English, but it'd be nice to look at a German Blu-Ray version switched to English just to compare quality.
My cheerful shopping spree received a shotgun blast to the face from the entertainment industry only a few minutes later, because none of those series can be bought. Germany only makes DVD versions of this, no HD, no Blu-Ray. If you want the stuff in HD you have to… well, I guess you have to learn English and order the UK Blu-Ray versions.
So yet again I'm standing here, ready to give cash to the entertainment industry, but the entertainment industry incapable of receiving it. If they stopped moaning constantly and would untangle the horrible mess that is their regional licensing model, they might actually make more money. And who would want that, eh?

CHICAGO — The WGN Morning News team got a little giggly Tuesday morning.
Anchor Robin Baumgarten was reading a story about how toilet paper companies are cutting back.
The size of a sheet is up to a half-inch narrower, and the cardboard tubes are also increasing in diameter so the companies can sell less paper for about the same paper.
The process is apparently called "de-sheeting."

Tips For A Successful Garage Sale
Everyone wants to throw a successful garage sale. However exactly what success means is different from person to person. This article is based on the idea that a successful garage sale does two things well. 1) makes you money 2) cleans out your house and yard. Below we provide you a collection of tips you can use to make sure you have a truly successful garage sale. You want customers to stick around and buy something, so one of the most important tips for a successful garage sale is to have an attractive display.
Put a tablecloth on that table piled with china. If you want to spruce it up with a candelabra and a vase, then you would probably be well served to do so with a candelabra or vase you are actually selling. Otherwise, people will continually carry those items up to you and ask, "How much for this?" You want to save yourself the need for explanations of just what is for sale when you are trying to move stuff out of your home. You also need tips for a successful garage sale if you really liked the first experience and want to have repeat customers. While you are setting up, you can help your sales by carefully aligning separate types of merchandise such that there is a flow between the various portions of the items on display.
If you have a variety of car-care manuals, put the books near the automotive parts. Put the automotive parts near the tools. Put the tools near the gardening implements. Put the gardening implements near the camping gear. Always try to make one section seem to be a logical fit with the items that are in the next section. That way, you will create a sort of logical buying flow in the mind of the buyer. As a result when they are looking at one item, they have a much better chance of seeing another, somewhat related item next to it that has a greater chance of catching their interest. Following these tips for a successful garage sale will bring in lots of customers and in turn lots of sales.

and help make Too True - Synchromystic Journey a reality.
The day has arrived and I am super excited to share with you in the creation of my latest book. Welcome my friends to my latest project... I have launched a Patreon site to help me to finance the creation of a Health and Wellness Journey guide. By supporting the project you will not only be helping me to finance my work but will also be helping those who are not financially secure enough to afford a Health and Wellness coach. Let's face it... chronic illness can destroy a persons financial stability yet poverty should never interfere with and individuals right to find their way to health and happiness. This project is about offering the same information I offer in my one on one coaching at a fraction of the cost. Each month I will release articles, chapters and tips to help assist people on their own journey to Health and Wellness.
Patrons will have the opportunity to get access to articles on Health and Wellness, Chapters and journals that document my thought process during the creation of this project. Ever wonder what I am really thinking??? Like no-holds-barred not holding anything back for fear of public sensitivities being offended… now's your chance to find out.
Here's a bit of a sample of one of the articles released this month…
"Tips to Help You Deal With The Anxiety Dragon.
For Chronic Pain sufferers' life is challenging enough due to the physical limitations that they struggle to overcome every day without the added burden of emotional angst. Unfortunately, for most people suffering from Fibromyalgia, the pain is only one part of a complex problem. Having Fibromyalgia is like being in a semi-permanent state of light or flight; basically your body is always on high alert which leads to unreasonable attacks of intense fear. Doctors are only now beginning to understand that Fibro is a nervous system disorder and have thankfully begun to treat the emotional body along with the physical. Still, around the world, fibro warriors wake each morning facing fears that their mind has artfully created out of nothing. Unfortunately, knowing that your fears are not based on a reality or truth of your current situation doesn't stop the effects that those fears have on your mental well-being. While some doctors are willing to help treat the anxiety with medication, not everyone is willing to take or can afford prescription drugs. Thankfully there are several different natural ways to deal with and treat anxiety. Though it may not remove it from your life completely, it will help you to manage it and allow you to find your way back into some semblance of a more relaxed emotional state of being.
!. Water, water and more water… I know this sounds crazy, but I have learned over the years that if I wake up in the morning with WTF is happening going on in my brain, if I take the time to drink some water it helps to calm my racing heart. Symptoms of dehydration can often mimic the symptoms of an anxiety attack, so when the anxiety dragon attacks, being dehydrated can compound the symptoms and make them worse. The trick is to keep a bottle beside you at all times (yes beside your bed too) and to take slow, deliberate sips over a period of 10 – 15 minutes. While drinking the water, try to mentally talk to your body, let it know that you hear that it is in distress and will do what you can to ease its suffering. Concentrating on taking care of your bodies basic needs will help to ease you back out fight or flight.

Thursday Friday bags: the ultimate in meta fashion.
Who knew that even designer replica bags have wait lists. But leave it to Thursday Friday—the Los Angeles-based handbag company famous for screen-printing images of iconic designer bags onto canvas totes—to set the bar high. After all, the brand was sued by Hermès earlier this year for using the Birkin image in a way that was allegedly "confusing, misleading, and deceiving the public" (the case was finally settled earlier this month). Now, Thursday Friday is back with a line of Miu Miu-inspired canvas totes and makeup bags, which are already on back order until at least July. And just in case Miu Miu doesn't take the "sincerest form of flattery" route, you'd better add your name to the wait list before the legal claws come out.
Thursday Friday bags range from $25 – $65 and can be purchased online here on Thursday Friday's website.

Zhuang Zi(369 B. C.~286 B. C.), with his given name as Zhou, was a key figure of Taoism following Lao Zi. He was born at the town of Meng (Northeast of the present-day Shangqiu, Henan Province) of the Song State.
Similar to Lao Zi's philosophy, Zhuang Zi believed that the "Tao" is the origin of everything in the universe. However, the "Tao" Zhuang Zi referred to is an omnipresent and infinite concept in nature.
