Reflecting on the third Brussels Briefing, Ambassador Patrick Gomes (Guyana) focused his intervention around four main points.
To avoid repeating the same things over and over again, he argued that we need to clearly define the bottom line of the debate on Aid for Trade, looking at its context and purpose. These find their reason in the MDGs, and agriculture is a key element in order to achieve them.
Ambassador Gomes suggested that while the definitional issues need to be addressed for greater "clarity of meaning and purpose", lessons from "best practices" or the monitoring procedures so far undertaken can be 'packaged' and disseminated to enhance productivity and competitiveness of enterprises across ACP countries. When talking about infrastructure, for example, it is important to consider this in a broader dimension, comprising also elements such as water and irrigation, or non-physical infrastructures, such as organizational capacities in farmers' associations.
In terms of resources, again, his perspective differed from Glenys Kinnock's call for additional funding. The key question he asked is "are we using what we have now? Are we overcoming inefficiencies in aid delivery?" In other words, it is not just a matter of more money. The key issue is to "use what is there for more precise objectives, with less regulations and confusion." In that regard, the support to bananas is interesting; only 16% of the Aid for Trade funds could actually be absorbed by recipient countries.
Lastly, he reminded participants that the erosion of trade preference must be addressed. This calls for "compensations, assistance and adjustments."

Asbestos was unexpectedly found during the demolition phase of a renovation at Wapato High School in Washington state, causing delays in the construction project at the school.
According to construction crews, the discovery has prompted an extension of the cleanup process at the school. The remodeling project was supposed to be completed before the school year began, but it is now behind schedule.
Officials with the school have stated that the safety of students and teachers is not at risk, but managing the flow of students within the school is difficult. Fortunately, the demolition phase that construction crews are currently working on is scheduled to be completed this week, and the next phase is supposed to begin shortly thereafter.
If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos and would like to learn more about the possible dangers associated with it, please visit the Mesothelioma and Asbestos Help website today at www.mesothelioma-asbestoshelp.org.

RunRio, Unilab Active Health, and BFD
As soon as I entered the building, I was led to a room where Coach Rio of RunRio, Alex of ULAH, and the rest of their team was confined. Took the first vacant seat that I saw. Coffee was offered. I politely declined. Opted for a glass of water instead. Since we don't want to waste any precious time, the meeting immediately kicked off. Ground rules was cited in order to make the brainstorming more efficient and productive. No ideas will be challenged. Only to be prioritized according to cost and its impact to the running community
Here were some of the things (in no particular order) --
1 Finisher's Towel. I saw this being given away during Ironman Kona. Somehow it does make some sense. After bringing it home you will still be able to use it and it will serve a nice memento for accomplishing a feat. I suggested a regular-sized towel for the highest distance available (32k in RU3 and 42k in RUPM) then throw in a smaller version to those who completes the half-marathon category. Runners can immediately wipe their sweat while they wait their turn in the baggage counter or while loiter around in the ULAH village
|photo grabbed from teamtbb.com
2 Baggage counter. We all hate long queues. I personally witnessed people lining up for at least an hour on an international event. Its best to have multiple baggage counters per category and having at least 20 chutes to serve the runners. Runners will also appreciate it if their belongings will be placed inside a bag that will protect it from the elements and stored on a multi-level rack, if possible. This will help the personnel to locate the runner's baggage a lot faster
|photo grabbed from davesensei
3 Barefoot-friendly race route. Always hate to see Macapagal and Kalayaan/Buendia flyover. My feet hurts like hell. It is always a sight to see whenever Roxas Blvd is part of the race map. This can be a bit of a challenge to RunRio's team. But I believe in Coach Rio's group in their creative process and coming up with a new one
4 Pacers. Sub2(hours) on a half-marathon? Sub4(hours) on a full marathon? Unilab can open up a registration system that will allow volunteers to serve as pacers. In order to qualify, s/he must be at least 20~30 minutes faster than the time s/he is applying for. We are not even talking about PR/PB. Such times should be consistent or has been done with at least 5 races. In addition, the pacers will have a separate running clinic to make sure that they are in tip-top shape come race day
|photo grabbed from nike
5 Assembly Pen. If assigning pacers is not feasible, it is best if Unilab and RunRio will educate the runners with regards to proper placement in the assembly area. We can place big markers that will indicate the expected finish time or pace (minutes per kilometer). Believe me when I say that most elite/competitive runners doesn't like it when slower runners are in front
|photo grabbed from jasoninhollywood
6 Guaranteed singlet and shirt sizes. We can open the registration at least 3 months prior the event. Then allowing the runners to indicate their preferred singlet and finishers shirt size. This can create a win-win situation where the runners get what they want and at the same time minimize the cost of the organizer in singlet and shirt production. In addition, this will also facilitate in personalizing our race bibs. Yey!
7 10-Miler. Keep having 3 Unilab events in a year but having each leg with a different (longer) distance. RU1 keeping the half-marathon but also introducing a 10-miler category. The introduction of a 16km will serve as a springboard to those who are still afraid to make the jump from 10km to 21km. Then RU2 will no longer cater a 10-miler category but will sport a 21km and the Afroman distance (32km). RU3 can now be re-branded as RUPM since it will now have a full marathon category
8 Readily available finish/gun time. We all know that it would usually take 24-72 hours before the official race result comes out. However it would be great if there would be such a facility that will allow the participants to view their (unofficial) time. The portal will have direct access to the raw data. This is similar to what the Standard Chartered Marathon series does
9 Reflectorized wrist band and singlet. Let's make it safer for runners. Most of us burn the calories away either in the morning (read: very early) or at night. By making our singlets stitched with reflectorized strips will make it easier for motorists to spot us miles away. Giving them no reason sideswiping us. Not that they have a reason for doing so
10 Finish Line Arc. I remembered my 5km run back in 2010. It was with RunRio. That event made an impression because of its "hi-tech" finish arc. The said arc displayed your name and time. I'd really appreciate if we can have it back. This gives the runners to immediately feedback regarding their finish time. I'm not sure why it was removed from the succeeding races. I am assuming that it was a bit expensive
11 Photo booth. Lots of 'em. If we are talking about 14,000+ runners per event then we would need a lot of photo booths. This means a lot to us runners since we want a memento of accomplishing a feat that we are proud of. The longest distance runners would usually bring home a finishers shirt and a medal. At least the rest of us will have our pictures taken with the best smile we can don. Don't forget the high-speed photo printers so we can minimize the long queue
12 Medical Assistance. I find this essential because you can expect when to see the first-aid group along the route which is every 3 kms. Yep, every 3 kilometers. It gives us runners some level of assurance. No need for anyone to look for a marshal along the route if you are feeling unwell. Simply go back to the last station or keep on walking and get on to the next. We all know the importance of response time in case of an emergency and proximity is key
13 Medal around my neck. Not on my hands. This may sound childish/petty at first but would you rather have your finishers medal handed over to you? This is very simple and quick to implement with no cost involved (maybe a little if it will require additional manpower) It gives all finishers a sense of accomplishment. Nuff said

14 Photovendo. How I missed them so much. It allowed us to simply search for our pictures by typing in our bib numbers. It was that simple. I mean who would want to swim through tons of pictures and after 3 hours you still can't find yours. Besides having a photobooth, you still want to have a "running" photo that you can post on your facebook wall. Or wait for your friends to tag you. If you got any, that is
15 Wifi. Free of course! Most runners bring their wifi-enabled devices. So as soon as you cross the finish line you can connect to your facebook, twitter, linkedin, myspace, google+, and other social networking account that you may have and brag about it. Maybe not brag but making your 10,000 friends/subscribers know that you've completed your first 3km fun run

16 E-certificate. Lets save Mother Earth. Lets minimize the use of paper. The online certificates can be made available after the official race results has been released. At least you can print your own finishers certificate with your name and finish/gu time on it. Then the rest of us can simply upload it on our virtual walls
17 Doughnuts! A tasty treat that awaits all finishers. All 200-calories of it
Discussion was getting heavy so I requested for a short break. It was granted. My phone rang. It was Meowth. I excused myself. "Good Morning!", she said. I opened my eyes. I was now staring at my ceiling. I realized that I was still on my bed. Glanced at my watch and it said 652AM. It was all a dream

What is it like to be a young woman with Parkinsons?
With thanks to Jaycott.co.uk.
Please note that these tools are suitable for most disabilities, not just Parkinsons
See also Parkinsons UK for lots more information about Parkinson's
The tools and equipment featured are all from jaycotts and I will give you the links as we go along. Please note that the products featured are suitable for use no matter what your disability, be it arthritis or poor eyesight.
Well, Christmas is here and it's a nightmare! The shops are busy, my town centre is being " updated" and half the parking is gone so I can't shop here until the roads reopen, it means a 15 mile drive to the next big town.
And the crowds, shopping is stressful enough at the best of times but add to that busy stores and car parks, queuing it becomes an impossibility.
Food and medication have to be carefully timed, I mean meticulously timed, it's no good eating or taking meds an hour out of sync, that just makes my symptoms worse. Yes I can enjoy a drink, but not too much because of the medication.
I haven't sent Christmas cards because I can't write them. Life is so very different. If you know anybody with Parkinson's do look for ways to make things easier for them. If they are eating with you ask what time would be best for them and they will give you a window. Food and medication often have to be taken an hour or so apart, and some foods cannot be eaten at all. A discreet conversation would prevent embarrassing moments on the day. Cut your guests turkey very thinly and add lots of gravy as swallowing is affected by the disease. Provide a steak knife too, they do help.
I might make light of my condition, but it isn't easy to live with.
Parkinson's is not what I want for myself or anybody else for that matter,quite frankly it stinks. One day I may feel well (ish) there is always an ish! Other days I cannot even get out of bed.
Currently around 127,000 people in the UK are living with Parkinson's, an incurable, degenerative neurological condition which leaves people struggling to walk, talk and sleep
It's made harder by the fact that I live alone, people with disabilities become somehow undateable, I mean it's not the best chat up line in the world is it? " Hi, I'm Angela, I suffer from Parkinson's, I have chronic fatigue, I drop things constantly, I can't always find the word I want and I might fall over and appear drunk" come on! Yes I know I am positive and I am a fighter but sometimes I don't want to be, you know? I want to be " normal" I don't want to have to collect two carrier bags of medication every month and spend two hours every week sorting it out.
And I am really not complaining because I am grateful, but I would love to be able to earn my own money and not be means tested. Hey I'd love new carpets! Correction I NEED new carpets but I don't have that sort of money! I cannot just go out on a whim if I am feeling low or buy myself a treat - like those carpets, or anything really.
I lost a 30K + salary when I was diagnosed, now I have to prove to people that I really do qualify for the little I get, just like millions of others.
I didn't want to give up work. Early " retirement" was not an option. It was tough giving up a career I loved.

I stayed at Susan's cottage August 31-September 7, 2019. The place was just how it was described. There's a great front porch to grill on, sit at the table and play a game, or just hang out! The cottage was spotlessly clean, and had plenty of room for all! Centrally located to stores, restaurants and beaches...hope to go back next summer! A five out of five review!!!
We had an excellent stay at the cottage. Susan was very welcoming and arranged our arrival conveniently, which is nice for Canadians coming from the other side of the border! The cottage had everything we needed : air conditioned, proper equipment, convenient location near the road and a few minutes away from beaches (and not too noisy despite being close to the road). Easy access for disabled. Thank you, we recommend!
I have been coming here the same week for several years and it feels like coming home every time I walk through the front door! It's my little oasis on the Cape and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!
This is a great place to just chill out on the porch or use as a home base and do the tourist route. We found the beds comfy, kitchen has all the basics, easy clean floors. Our fav spot is the covered porch where you can grill, smell the roses and watch the birds. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
This place is truly wonderful. The location is convenient to fresh water ponds, ocean and bay beaches and great restaurants. The cabin itself is nicely appointed and clean. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the birds.
Great cottage with plenty of room. Nice open kitchen and living room. Plenty of parking spots and even has a yard. Owner is super helpful and answers all questions promptly and fully.
We are a family of 4 who live near Boston and wanted some time to relax on the Cape. We found this property and had simple expectations for the price. We were pleasantly surprised to find a warm, comfortable cottage close to excellent beaches, restaurants and P-town. The accommodations were lovely and included air conditioning, cable tv and a full kitchen. We had no problems at all and have already decided to return this summer. May be the best value for the price on the Cape!
We loved this cottage! The open concept was fantastic and great for all of us to hang out together. The front porch is huge! We ate all our meals out there. The yard is big, has an awesome hammock and outside shower. If we take a Cape vacation next year, we'll be hoping that this will be available.
We stayed for a week in August. Great litle place for the money. We had a great time and pretty much everything was there we needed. Only thing would be to have more comfy furniture in the living room.However, it was nice to have the futon as well.

Save up to $300
Starting June 12th and running through September 3, 2017, Jøtul is partnering with it's North American dealers to implement the fifth annual Stove Changeout Program. With the goal of improving air quality by removing dirty burning non-EPA certified wood-burning appliances from use, and reducing the burning of open fireplaces, Jøtul North America is pleased to offer you the opportunity to save up to $300 off the purchase of a Jøtul wood or gas stove, or fireplace insert.
Here's how it works:
Step 1: Check to see if your stove is EPA certified. If it's more than 27 years old, it may not be. There should be a plate on the back of your unit indicating whether or not this is the case. Here is a listing of EPA compliant stoves. If the stove is not EPA certified, you are on your way for qualifying for the Jotul Change Out Program!
Step 2: Find a local recycling center that handles old appliances like stoves and arrange a drop-off.
Step 3: Get a receipt from the recycling center after you have dropped off your old unit.
Step 4: Come to McGuckin Hardware's Fireplace Department and shop for a new Jotul brand stove or fireplace insert.
Step 5: Show your stove recycling receipt to the sales clerk at the time of purchase to receive the $300 discount at the register.
If you have any additional questions about this promotion, or any other questions about fireplaces, stoves or inserts, don't hesitate to ask a Green Vest!
We'll get back with you as soon as possible!

Project Tracking
Many of our clients provide services to their customers on a project basis. Whether you believe in "Value Billing", fixed fee pricing, or hourly billing, you need to track project progress. That progress comes in many forms. Tracking deadline and deliverable dates, estimating and reporting percentage of completion, and, sometimes, recording hourly time spent, all contribute to your ability to keep your customer informed and happy. Crosspointe can help with all of these critical tracking tasks.
Time Tracking
Regardless of how you determine your pricing for billing, you lose valuable information by not tracking your labor investment in your product, whether it is a tangible product or a service. You would not think of manufacturing something and setting a price without knowing what it cost you to produce that product. Your time is an equally important asset. Learn how to track your time against your projects, with some advice from Crosspointe.
Our purpose at Crosspointe Consulting Group is to help you and/or your accountant find more efficient ways to manage your financial information. We can help you organize your information for faster financial statement preparation, better profitability analysis, and a system designed to facilitate tax preparation with less pain and effort. Give us a call to learn how we can help you manage your critical financial data.
Project Management
The consultants at Crosspointe Consulting Group have years of experience in managing technology-related projects. By hiring a project manager for your technology project, you will know what needs to be done in advance, what amount of time it will take (not only consultant time but your staff time), what it will cost, and when it will be completed. A software implementation is more than just installing a program. Lean on our expertise to get you through the process efficiently.
For most professional service firms your "inventory" is your projects and your unbilled work. Tracking that "inventory" is every bit as important for professional service firms as it is for manufacturing and distribution companies. The software tools that we have developed expertise with over our many years in the technology field are targeted at managing resources to most efficiently and effectively deliver client services.

Philm documentary about the making of "Fire From The Evening Sun"
Director Rick Kosick has uploaded a video documentary about the making of "Fire From The Evening Sun". You can watch the video below:
Rick Kosick said: "Philm recorded the drum tracks for 'Fire From The Evening Sun' at the House Of Rock studios in Santa Monica, California, the home of the late actress/singer Kathryn Grayson.
This studio/home is amazing; it has a great vibe, which makes a comfortable working environment."
"When I was filming, I had no idea that Dave Lombardo was going to lay down all twelve drum tracks in one day. Impressive! What I remember from that day was that Dave was really focused, and he had this look on his face that he meant business. I'm still surprised that he didn't tear a hole in his drumhead, because he was playing like a madman. Pancho and Gerry were both on top of their game that day as well, and three of them executed everything without any problems. I mean, what can you expect from professionals, right?"
"I'm happy how everything turned out with this video, and what a great opportunity to be able to document this important process of making an album."

It is easy to take in information. Just open your eyes and ears. We are bombarded with data and information virtually all day, everyday. You can be filled up and brimming with facts in no time. I have written about ways to sift through that information to find truth and falsehood, things you can know with certainty, and justification for these things, but there is a more general action which deserves just as much (or more) attention: understanding.
This is what I mean by understanding: To know how things work and why they work, not just that they work. To know the causes for something and be able to predict the effects. To be able to make relevant connections to other phenomena and see the big picture at work. To know the deeper causal relationships between things, not just the readily seen.
I am going to make the case that understanding is not a function of raw data gathering or fact-retrieval, but it is necessarily related to abstraction and conceptual reasoning. In order to understand things, we remove the specifics (or "particulars") from various situations and, instead, look at general principles and concepts that we can recognize in other situations. It is a tragedy that "abstract" is, today, often synonymized with "impractical", "irrelevant", or "unrealistic". As we will see, we would be reduced to a pathetic state of ignorance if it were not for abstract reasoning.
To illustrate, we'll take the story of a child:
Hot Wheels: Stanley is a kid. He plays with toy cars. He has progressed in his toy-playing abilities over the last few years. There was a time where he hadn't ever seen a toy car before, let alone touch one or roll one on the floor. Let's visit that moment, in fact:
"What is that? Can I eat it? Should I touch it? I wonder what it feels like. Cold, and hard. Ah! It moves. And squeaks. Hmm, it moves easily. A little nudge and it goes rolling away. How fun!"
What can be gathered from this example? If Stanley takes his knowledge of this car (the look, the feel, the rolling properties, etc.) and only makes connections with the specific experience he had with the specific car under specific circumstances, he will have a very limited understanding of anything, indeed. After all, if he was rolling the car on a wooden floor, he would have no idea whether or not a car might roll on tile or concrete. If the force he applied to the back of the car is only understood in specifics, he could never understand that any push of the car will result in movement, only that his one specific amount of force applied under that specific circumstance resulted in that specific movement.
Now, what happens when he sees a friend's new Hot Wheels car? If there is no understanding made, no abstraction from the previous experience, Stanley will be equally as perplexed and curious as he was when he first encountered a car. However, perhaps he abstracted away from the specifics of his car-knowledge and can easily recognize the shape and the "wheels" on the bottom of his friends car. It is likely that if he pushes this new car, it will roll as well. Maybe the child now understands that rolling over his toes will hurt regardless of the specifics of the toy. The general principle of pain, as it relates to metal things running into the body, can be understood at a conceptual level. (When a child puts his hand on a burner, he hopefully learns that all burners (the cause) have the capacity to result in the same unpleasant feeling (the effect), not just the one specific burner.)
In time, Stanley will learn that slanted surfaces will result in faster movement from his cars. The steeper the incline, the faster the movement. Perhaps he can create his own ramps for even more enjoyment. Imagine what he could teach a child, with excitement, who had never played with a toy car before. He has built up a basic understanding of toy cars, why they move (a push), their feel, sounds, looks, speed, and perhaps their relationship to certain people (friends, parents, siblings). Again, these are non-specific principles, not facts relating to merely his own cars or even the ones he has played with.
Now, fast forward a bit. Stanley has moved on to college, and he studies physics. Seeking deeper understanding, he understands that if you have a thing with wheels on an incline, it will move, with the speed depending on the incline. But why is this the case? He learns about (what we will call) the principle of gravity. It is not only toy cars which are affected by gravity, but everything with mass. He studies the formulas developed through other people's experiences with things, and learns that there is actually a way to predict the speed of objects moving through space, regardless of certain variables (like color, taste, etc.). This is more universal abstraction, and it has all sorts of other conceptual implications in other areas.
If Stanley were to read his textbook and only understand the specific examples in a vacuum, he would not understand very much at all. It is when he abstracts away from the specifics that he develops an understanding of what is going on.
Fast forward again. Stanley is still fascinated by physics. "Gravity" is no longer a satisfying answer to the question, "Why do objects fall to the ground?". He seeks a deeper understanding. Why does gravity work this way? What are the fundamental causes of gravity, and does it really apply universally? What principles can be found at this new level of inquiry? And so on…
Enough of Stanley. You get the picture. As he progresses along his intellectual journey, he gets deeper and deeper into understanding the fundamental principles and concepts behind whatever his studies, and he gets farther and farther away from studying what seems to be the most immediately "practical".
Here's some great news: you have countless chances to seek conceptual understanding and abstraction every day. The more you seek out conceptual knowledge, the easier it gets, and the faster the connections are made.
In contrast, we are told that the possession of "concrete facts" is the hallmark of an intellectual. I disagree. For example, one who only knows figures and numbers about some specific economic system understands nothing and can explain nothing, in contrast to the man who can always apply certain economic principles in any situation. A precise knowledge of cause-and-effect is not numerical or immediately factual. The principles, theory, and concepts come first, then their manifestation into the specifics.
In fact, every discipline requires abstraction. Historical facts are meaningless and incomprehensible unless put inside a conceptual framework. Science can't tell us anything about the world without abstracting to the world outside the laboratory. Somebody who says they are concerned with "just the facts" or "just the data" is confused. Pure data input is no different than looking at and memorizing the digits of pi. You need to know how concepts relate to one other, not be able to regurgitate numbers and unstructured information.
Perhaps the most fundamental abstractions are those of language. Every belief that you hold, regardless of the specifics, can be put into language. If you understand the principles and necessary rules of language, this applies to literally every sentence which you will ever speak. What could be more fundamental? (Relevant to this site: it just so happens that logic has been called the study of the "rules of language".)
Abstract, conceptual reasoning is not only an academic pursuit. You will find that those who are the most accomplished professionals in nearly every field and discipline are learned in the theory of what they study. In fact, even the same exact concepts and principles are used between different activities. For example, the principle of relaxation, or the economy of motion, is used at the highest levels in everything from Ju Jitsu to chess, or from piano and guitar playing to table tennis. Getting from point A to point B via the easiest, most comfortable and natural move is an abstract concept, but it is immediately related and incredibly practical in any specific endeavor.
So, the next time you want to put on a shirt that you have never specifically worn, don't fret. Think about the abstractions that you have learned in the past. Perhaps it does not matter the color of the shirt or the day of the week; you can put it on the same way.
If you want to be somebody who understands how a machine works, and not somebody who is merely content that it works, you must actively search for the deeper concepts at work, not get caught up by arbitrary specifics.

Continuing from LHP's recent post on Platooning - "Is Platooning the Future of IoT in The Trucking Industry?", there are other implications to the evolving automation of heavy-duty trucking, especially as they relate to big data and analytics. As a review, the areas of EU regulatory framework are to focus on-
LHP Latest News Blog
Do you remember years ago a toy train set that could be connected by magnets? The magnetic pull would force each individual train to follow the one that came before it. With enough magnetic pull, there would be three or four trains connected, following each other in the same path on the wooden train tracks. Now, let's expand our thinking and apply this to today's modern technology. Imagine you are driving down the interstate when you see three or four trucks following, no more than 10 feet behind the other. Except this time, they are not connected by a magnetic pull, but by IoT technology. According to the Washington Post, A wave of new technology intended to make trucks safer — using radar, cameras and reflective light scanning — is sweeping the industry. This new wave of technology is defined as platooning, and it is becoming very real in the trucking industry.
It is impossible to go very long without hearing that IoT, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and AI are going to completely transform everything we do, both personally and professionally. Yet, for all the talk, most people are willing to admit that, while they might vaguely know what the concepts are and some of the anecdotal effects of these technologies permeating our everyday lives will be, they don't exactly know how to get started. LHP has created an IoT Analytics Training that focuses on IoT connectivity between the could and live data sets
LHP's Michael King, stared as a guest on Automation Alley's Factory Reboot Podcast Series. The Factory Reboot Podcast Series is a podcast about technology's role in manufacturing and how Industry 4.0 is transforming the future, from autonomous robotics to artificial intelligence. Hosted by Automation Alley Executive Director, Tom Kelly, the series explores the minds of industry experts, and divulges the opportunities and challenges manufacturers face as they rethink, retool, and reboot their factories for manufacturing's next act: one that is smart and connected.
Coding with the Community
LHPs Data Analytics team has partnered with the Columbus Chamber of Commerce on the piloting of technology introductions for school students. Cool Coding Awareness Week is scheduled to kick-off October 24-30. For one week,trainers from Eleven Fifty Academy will deliver age-appropriate lessons about computer coding to 1000 Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation students, working alongside teachers, out-of-school educators and a small army of volunteers. Instructors will be at Lincoln, Mt. Healthy, Smith and Taylorsville Elementary Schools, Central Middle School and CSA New Tech High School. LHP has commited to providing 45 hours of hands-on instruction during the classroom sessions. Outside of the classroom, LHP plans to conduct a workshop at kidscommons, using remote-controlled cars and Raspberry Pi processors. Cool Coding Awareness Week: Grades K-1: Learn about the computer languages that drive the hardware Grades 2-6: Learn the basics of computer coding

Costa Teguise is a small town on the island of Lanzarote which is located in the Canary Islands on the coasts of Spain. It locates geographically to the south east corner of Lanzarote island. Costa Teguise, a seaside resort located about nine kilometers north of Arrecife is a natural tourism spot and hundreds of tourists flock to experience the beauty of the place all year round. Costa Teguise has four main beaches namely Playa de los Charcos, Playa del Jablillo, Playa Bastián and Playa de las Cucharas. The streets and layout of the town is well planned and there are hundreds of open areas still left to be developed. The beauty of Costa Teguise lies in the fact that it manages to have a nice peaceful and happy community feel always. The wide array of restaurants, shops and hotels cater to all tastes.
The history of this wonderful town goes way back in the late 1970's where it was patronized by the wealthy residents of Spain and even the royal family of Jordan. There have been a lot of developmental projects going on to upkeep the beauty of the place. Till date, there are certain areas around the town which have street lights set up but are uninhabited.
The beaches in Costa Teguise are the exception of this small island. Playa de las Cucharas is the best of them all.

Costa Teguise weather is pleasant all the year round. The beaches here are windier as compared to the other beach side resorts. This accounts for the trouble experienced by most wind surfers and other water sports enthusiasts. However weather on Lanzarote island is a boon in the summer months.

Most families tend to visit Costa Teguise in the winter season as the winds are calmer around this time of the year. It would be safe for any visitor visiting to expect a lot of sunshine hence carry the most appropriate skin lotion.

How Much Botox Will I Need to Have a Younger Look?
Enjoying summertime fun with pool parties, beach excursions, backyard barbecues, al fresco lunches and outdoor concerts is the ideal way to capture the essence of this season's benefits. Whether you're clad in a sporty beach bikini, donning a trendy summer dress or just hanging out in a pair of khakis, you want to look your best. Of course, looking good includes skin that looks vibrant and youthful. If you're considering botox in San Diego, you may also be wondering how much you need to sport a youthful look for the summer.
Botox-It-Up for the Summer
The good news is that one Botox treatment in the beginning of summer will last until the winter holiday season. Unlike the long recovery time associated with cosmetic surgeries like facelifts, there is also little or no recovery time from Botox treatments. This way, there's no interference with those fun summer activities. Summer is the season to sizzle in the city, and a botox treatment will have your face looking radiant and refreshed. Here's the amount of units needed for different facial areas:
- 2-5 units for eyebrow lift
- 2-6 units for dimpled chin
- 5-15 units for crow's feet
- 5-10 units for nasal lines
- 10-40 units for forehead lines
- 10-30 units for frown lines
- 3-6 units for a smile lift
How Botox in San Diego Works
Botox is a purified protein that is injected directly into the muscles of the face that are causing stubborn lines. Treatment takes just 10 minutes. Book a treatment on your lunch break or take a quick break from the pool. No anesthesia is required, and discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Frown lines and other permanent facial lines are reduced, as Botox works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses that increase muscle activity, which results in persistent facial lines. Within two to seven days, you'll see a marked improvement in facial lines just in time for some summer fun. You also don't have to worry about looking as though you've just had work done; Botox doesn't radically change the facial appearance, and the change is natural looking. It actually softens the lines between the eyebrows, eyes and forehead. It also turns ups the corners of the mouth to ease expression. To sum it up, the benefits of botox treatments in San Diego include:
- Little discomfort
- No downtown
- Natural-looking results
- Long-lasting results with repeat treatment
For a youthful look in the summertime, one treatment with Botox goes a long way.
If you're seeking a treatment for Botox in San Diego, turn to the cosmetic expert at Laser Clinique. Laser Clinique is an innovative medical spa and laser clinic in San Diego, California, that performs a variety of both medical and cosmetic procedures using all of the latest technologies and advances, including Botox Cosmetic treatments.

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about this because at first blush, it's a downer, and downers are not awesome at all. Then I remembered that this blog, even when written about one subject for a month, is still my blog and written truly from the heart, so why not. It also gave me a chance to reflect upon my own feelings I've had today.
I am a jewelry designer. For years, I exhibited at about 20 juried craft shows a year and updated my web site constantly. It was a good living -- a HARD way to make a living, but rewarding. I became an LLC , I had a studio built, I wrote a book, and things were moving along swimmingly. Awesome, you could say.

Trapeze's flexible ticketing solutions allow you to sell tickets quickly and easily whenever your customers want it: at home, en route or on board a vehicle.
The Trapeze ticketing application is secure, easy to use and works across all platforms: smartphones, computers and internet-enabled mobile devices. Passengers can pay with cash, credit card or debit card, with sale charges made through a browser-based backend system.
Your solution can also include Trapeze stationary ticketing machines in stations and at stops and/or mobile ticketing machines for in-vehicle use. The latter can combine a ticket printer with the vehicle's on-board computer for optimal system compatibility and seamless integration with your existing systems.
Trapeze's ticketing technology caters for a range of ticket types, from traditional paper tickets to smartcards and e-tickets. Our latest innovation is based on presence detection technology, where commuters carrying Be-In/Be-Out (BIBO) cards are automatically registered as soon as they board any public transport vehicle. This means no touching smartcards on or off, no scrabbling for change to pay for fares and no worries about losing paper tickets.
"We couldn't operate the bus network in the way that we do without having a good, effective ITS system underneath our operation. The Trapeze solution has enabled us to deal with a lot of problems that have occurred within the network over the last 10 years. It's enabled us to have a common platform on every single vehicle, which has given us the same look and feel to the service that we provide to all customers; no matter whose vehicle you get on, it's still recognised as a London bus."

EUGENE, Or. (January 11, 2019) — Lane United FC announced today that its only ever head coach, John Galas, has been named assistant coach for USL League One club FC Tucson, which is owned by USL Championship club Phoenix Rising FC. He will be joining head coach Darren Sawatzky who was appointed last month, having been hired from NW Division rival Seattle Sounders U-23.
"I am delighted to join the Phoenix Rising FC family and specifically FC Tucson." said coach Galas. "I would like to thank Darren Sawatzky for this tremendous opportunity to join his coaching staff. Furthermore, I'd like to send a special thank you to Lane United FC managing director Dave Galas, the LUFC ownership group, and the Red Aces for the last five years of unwavering support"
Galas had coached with the Portland Timbers and Thorns, Real Salt Lake Academy, Florida State, University of Oregon, and the University of Arizona before joining Lane United as its first head coach and sporting director in 2013. 2018 was Lane United's most successful season on the field, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
Galas will be replaced by 5-year assistant coach Conner Cappelletti effective immediately. Conner holds a USSF B license and has been with Lane United slightly longer than coach Galas, having played in the two friendlies in 2013. "I am very excited to have this opportunity presented to me, " said Cappelletti "and would like to thank John for preparing me to lead Lane United and keep the level of soccer rising in Eugene/Springfield."
Managing director Dave Galas added "To lose a coach is always tough, but John can be very proud of the brand of soccer he brought to Lane County, the players he developed, and the deep passionate roots he left with the fans. I don't need to tell Tucson they are getting a tremendous coach, and I know John is going to a fantastic club. We wish them all the best and hope to be competing against them in League One sooner than later."
Lane United FC, established in 2013, is participating in its sixth season in USL League Two. In 2014, Lane United FC was named the USL League Two Rookie Franchise of the Year.

Most cleaning products that you purchase at the store are toxic. Look at the labels on bottles such as toilet bowl cleaner, bathroom disinfectant, and furniture polish. You'll see words like Poison, Danger, Warning, and Caution. If you'd rather not bring those chemicals into your home, it's easy and inexpensive to create your own homemade, non-toxic cleaning products. Simple combinations of baking soda, vinegar, borax, and essential oils make a variety of cleaners, which can be used on mirrors, windows, toilets, sinks, floors, and more. And, they are effective, cheap, and safe!
General Cleaner: 2 tablespoons liquid soap (non-toxic, such as Dr. Bronners) + 2 cups water makes a great general cleaner.
Toilet Cleaner: Sprinkle 1/4 cup borax (available in a box in the cleaning aisle of your grocery store) or baking soda and a few drops of essential oil (eucalyptus or tea tree oil are antiseptic) into the toilet, scrub, let sit for a few minutes, scrub again, and flush.
Floor Cleaner: In a squirt bottle, create a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water, add a few drops of essential oil (peppermint or lavender are nice), squirt cleaner onto floor, and mop up.
Glass Cleaner: Club soda in a squirt bottle works well, as does an equal mixture of water and vinegar. Wipe down with a lint-free cloth or crumpled newspapers.
Tub and Sink Cleaner: Shake some baking soda mixed with a a few drops of essential oil (orange or lime smell fresh) into sink or tub, wipe with damp sponge, rinse. Also, Bon Ami is a non-toxic alternative to products with a abrasive scrubs.
Wood furniture polish: Add some olive oil and a few drops of vinegar on a cloth and rub in.
A microfiber cloth (available at any discount or grocery store) will do a swell job of removing dust from all hard surfaces, eliminating a need for those pricey dusting sprays and non-recyclable paper towels.
By creating your own cleaning products, you'll keep your home, family, and environment safe. (Use common sense – even though these cleaning products are gentle, it's best to keep borax and essential oils out of young children's reach.) You'll never have to worry about harmful fumes or chemicals with these great cleaners. And you'll save lots of cupboard space, money, and time by simplifying your cleaning routine

Bruce Walker, Founder of WeAreTheFuture
London: It's all about 'scale'.
Over the last three years, I've had the opportunity to work in and collaborate with a number of international entrepreneurial 'eco-systems', from Edinburgh,London, San Francisco, Los Angles, Chicago, New York, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
This has given me some really interesting insight into the Startup and Scaleup culture around the world. Ultimately my verdict is that entrepreneurs are facing more or less the same challenges, regardless of their geography. They all crave very similar support, which is access to role models and advise, capital and talent.
Last month I had the pleasure of speaking at Scottish Business Network, hosted at the Shepherd and Wedderburn offices overlooking St Paul's Cathedral. This event is rather unique, bringing together high profile and successful Scottish business leaders who are based in London. I spoke about the journey of WATFand our upcoming summit in London, which will focus on scaling your startup and positive social business.
The intimate audience of business leaders heard me discuss the launch of our'Impact Summit' which will address the need for Startups to grow and scale, taking lessons from some of the UK's most successful leaders, include Sir Tom Hunter and Julia Groves.
I also shared my personal ambition, which is to see all businesses as 'social' businesses, using their profit for good. We recently teamed up with Virgin Unite, the not-for-profit arm of the Virgin Group and Branson Family, to create theChicago Startup Summit, which focused on People, Planet and Business for Good. The success of the summit in Chicago has led us to invite Emily Turner from Virgin Unite to take part in the London Impact Summit to discuss how 'Good Business is Good for Business'.
It's my belief that companies don't have to be 'social enterprises' or not-for-profits, but rather they can use their success to support their local and global communities.
In the run up to the Impact Summit, I'm asking entrepreneurs and business leaders (including you) to comment on this blog answering, "What are you doing to make positive impact?"
Almost done…

"Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow!"
― Stephen Schwartz, Wicked
Hi darling people!
Do like that Stephen Schwartz quote? Isn't he too amahzing for words? LA is so gorgeous and rainy today-it's really kind of making my life, to be perfectly honest. The problem with living through a drought, though, is that by the time it does rain you've forgotten how to open an umbrella. I know.
Some of you know about the musical I'm writing. It's ten minutes long, it's about a boy who can read people's minds, and it's just so lit. I think. What does lit mean, anyway? Writing it has been a, to use the metaphorical, journey. But the kind of journey where you listen to the Hamilton soundtrack on repeat. AKA: Amahzing.
To be still more metaphorical, writing a musical is like reading The Goldfinch by Dona Tartt*: seven-hundred pages long, filled with insanity at every turn, and kind of hard to get through at the half-way point. For those of you who have not read The Goldfinch by Dona Tartt, picture a shimmery purple unicorn with a New York accent who sometimes lets you ride on their back through lollipop meadows and sometimes chomps you on the ankle.
Just picture it.
That's writing a musical.
I'm guessing you have just had one of the following three reactions after reading the above:
1) I love that you're such a big sports fan! How 'bout we go kick some baskets later? Check out my Blog: Sports and Beer! ⚽
2) Unicorns? 🦄
3) Lil, tell us more about how you conquered the shimmery purple unicorn! You so cool! 🎵🦄
⚽Okay, first of all, I think you're getting golf and air-hockey mixed up! Silly kid. I will not check out your blog because I DON'T THINK YOU EVEN READ MINE! YEAH, I KNOW! HOW DID YOU GET HERE? DID THE GUY GAURDING THE DOOR LET YOU IN? JEFFERY, YOU TOLD ME YOUR AUDITION FOR THE REVIVAL OF DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES WASN'T UNTIL LATER!
🎵🦄Dear person, darling child, of course I will tell you more about musical-writing! I didn't even think I was going to keep talking about it until you gave me that little boost of confidence! What a lovely person you are. May your life be filled with light and joy. May you someday win a lock of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hair on an Ebay auction.**
I wouldn't say my musical was commissioned. I wish I could say that but I can't. I'm currently taking a course in musical theatre writing and part of the course was writing a musical. Because of this there were certain requirements and rules about the musical I wasn't commissioned to write. For starters, it had to be ten minutes exactly. It also had to have at least three songs and couldn't be based on existing material. So out went my tapping-dancing Sherlock Holmes idea. Someday, right? Anyway, me and my collaborator (see Swan Lake The Musical where the fellow is featured) started on our musical. I quickly learned several things. The main one was There Is A Process To The Madness.
Because I am Broadway Lil, the super fabulous conveyer of all things Broadway, I will lay out the process. I love you. You're welcome.
The Process To The Madness Which I Am Laying Out For You
- Think of an award-winning idea like a boy who can somehow read people's minds!
- Get some white notecards. I recommend stealing some from some sort of office
- Write each teensy weensy piece of your musical on the notecards
- Write some titles for songs on some blue notecards you also stole from some kind of office
- Write a script. 1 page usually = 1 minute
- Write some songs based on the song titles. In musical theatre the song structure is AABA, so verse, verse, bridge, verse, but nowadays you can chop up the structure thanks to rock musicals like Next To Normal.
- Be passive aggressive to someone in a New York accent to relieve stress
- Smush the songs and script together
- Find some actors (Tip: most people are actually actors so this shouldn't be hard!)
- Put on your musical!
- Rock the world!
Of course, there's a lot more to it than that, but that is the basic process used by writers everywhere. I think. I hope. Oh gosh, is it not? Am I even alive? What is life? Who am I? Hold me, my life is flashing before my eyes. Lin is that you? Oh god, it's my Twitter feed. #stoplookingattwittersomuchoratleastdontonlyfollowpeoplewhohavelinmanuelmirandaspicturefortheirprofile.
Anyway, my musical isn't quite finished but I am absolutely thrilled, because I am beginning to live my dream (or follow my bliss, as some of my hipster frenemies would correct me) and living your dream is the absolute best thing ever!
I hope! I don't sound! Too! Thrilled or! Anything!
Musical Theatre rocks. It really does.
P.S. If you leave a comment, any kind of comment, I will love you forever. Send me an emoji. A poem. A picture of your uncle Robbie who you hate. Anything.
*fave book ever in spite of disturbing quality that scarred me for life.
**Can I stop right here and compliment myself on my above use of emojis to bring greater meaning to my breath-taking prose?
