We covered the recent launch at thetightspot.com of their new category of men's tights – a carefully chosen selection of tights from brands and styles in stock that are suitable for men.
As part of the launch we also interviewed Sophie and Sarah of the thetightspot.com as part of the launch of their recommended tights for men.
thetightspot.com kindly sent us a pair of the Wolford Merino Tights to trial and review.
Wolford have really gone the extra mile to make the whole packaging and presentation of this style something different.
The tights are packaged in an elegant box, with a lid that slides open to reveal the tights sitting in a tray.
The tights are folded around card and then wrapped in special Wolford tissue paper. It really feels quite special opening them.
Material and features
First impressions are very positive indeed. The yarn feels wonderfully soft and warm. The legs are also very long – a great sign for male wearers.
The tights are made from 49% Virgin Wool, 49% Nylon and 2% Elastane.
The low Elastane content is quite surprising. But wait, this is what Wolford say:
"Elastane is not needed on the leg, because wool has a high natural stretch of its own."
Elastane is used in the 3cm wide knitted waistband, which also has the usual Wolford label seen into the inside seam.
As mentioned above the legs have excellent length and are tapered – the thighs have more room and this narrows towards the calf and ankles.
Closer inspection reveals the real touches of quality: the toe, heel and sole are all reinforced to provide durability and longer wear. The reinforcement on the sole is barely visible so well is it engineered.
The brief is, as in all Wolford styles, nice and roomy and will stretch easily over the waist and hips.
Seams are flat and there is a wool gusset. Extra Large Wolford tights do not have a rear comfort panel.
Fit and sizing
The Wolford Merino Tights are available in four sizes at thetightspot.com:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
I tested a pair in the XL size.
These tights feel just amazingly soft and comfortable on the skin. They provide warmth but the skin is also able to breathe. If your legs sweat at all, you will find that the wool in the yarn absorbs this and also allows for evaporation.
The sizing in the XL size is really quite generous in the leg as well as the brief.
The fit was excellent and the Merino Tights were just so comfortable to wear.
Colour range
The Wolford Merino Tights are available from thetightspot.com in Black and Cream colours.
I tested the Black colour.
Price and availability
The Wolford Merino Tights are priced at £38.95.
Are these the best wool tights you can buy? I can't see anything else that can touch the Wolford Merino Tights for quality, detail and comfort.
I can see that Falke, Fogal, Kunert and Trasparenze all make some very nice wool tights; some with cotton and some with cashmere.
But it's hard to see how the Wolford Merino Tights can be bettered.
If you want a touch of absolute luxury then go for these. I can't wait for the cooler autumn weather to arrive so I can wear them regularly.

[ Note: Click here for the Docker Monitoring webinar video recording and slides. And click here for the Docker Logging webinar video recording and slides. ]
Docker deployments can be very dynamic with containers being started and stopped, moved around the YARN or Mesos-managed clusters, having very short life spans (the so-called pets) or long uptimes (aka cattle). Getting insight into the current and historical state of such clusters goes beyond collecting container performance metrics and sending alert notifications. If a container dies or gets paused, for example, you may want to know about it, right? Or maybe you'd want to be able to see that a container went belly up in retrospect when troubleshooting, wouldn't you?
Just two weeks ago we added Docker Monitoring (docker image is right here for your pulling pleasure) to SPM. We didn't stop there — we've now expanded SPM's Docker support by adding Docker Event collection, charting, and correlation. Every time a container is created or destroyed, started, stopped, or when it dies, sematext-agent-docker captures the appropriate event so you can later see what happened where and when, correlate it with metrics, alerts, anomalies — all of which are captured in SPM — or with any other information you have at your disposal. The functionality and the value this brings should be pretty obvious from the annotated screenshot below.
Like this post? Please tweet about Docker Events and Docker Metrics Monitoring
Know somebody who'd find this post useful? Please let them know…
Here's the list of Docker events SPM Docker monitoring agent currently captures:
- Version Information on Startup:
- server-info – created by spm-agent framework with node.js and OS version info on startup
- docker-info – Docker Version, API Version, Kernel Version on startup
- Docker Status Events:
- Container Lifecycle Events like
- create, exec_create, destroy, export
- Container Runtime Events like
- die, exec_start, kill, oom, pause, restart, start, stop, unpause
- Container Lifecycle Events like
Every time a Docker container emits one of these events sematext-agent-docker will capture it in real-time, ship it over to SPM, and you'll be able to see it as shown in the above screenshot.
Oh, and if you're running CoreOS, you may also want to see how to index CoreOS logs into ELK/Logsene. Why? Because then you can have not only metrics and container events in one place, but also all container and application logs, too!
If you're using Docker, we hope you find this useful! Anything else you'd like us to add to SPM (for Docker or any other integration)? Leave a comment, ping @sematext, or send us email – tell us what you'd like to get for early Christmas!

The EU bailout of Cyprus banks negotiated this weekend, which contains a controversial haircut on depositors, has just been pushed back again.
Originally, it was scheduled for today, but this morning, it was postponed until tomorrow.
Now, Peter Spiegel at the FT reports that tomorrow's vote has been cancelled as well.
Word from Nicosia that they've canceled the bailout vote for tomorrow. #Cyprus— Peter Spiegel (@SpiegelPeter) March 18, 2013
According to a report from Antenna TV (via Bloomberg), Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades will tell the Eurogroup that he doesn't have the backing in parliament to pass the bill.
JPMorgan's Alex White discussed the possibility of this scenario in a note to clients over the weekend, writing:
A 'no' vote, or a failure to bring the package before parliament in the immediate term could have significant regional implications. Germany has made clear that it won't bring any measure which does not include depositor haircuts before the Bundestag.
The extent to which the region has played hard-ball with Cyprus was indicated in Anastasiades' claim that he was threatened with an immediate withdrawal of ELA support if he did not commit to the deal as it stands.
In the event of a need to renegotiate, the path of least resistance in our view would probably see an amendment of the existing deal, such that the pain is redistributed to impact uninsured depositors (we think there is a chance of the Cypriot Government seeking to amend the terms in this direction before bringing measures to parliament if it faces the prospect of failure).
In effect however, the damage would already have been done if Cyprus sees significant deposit flight, absent a deal. In the context of the Troika's current disagreement with Greece on further disbursements, and the likelihood of political dead-lock in Italy, a return to a more stressful episode of the European crisis cannot be discounted, in our view.
Should these hurdles be passed, longer-term we think there is a possibility of legal challenge to the package, under both Article 23 of the Cypriot Constitution, and under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) given the requirements of both in respect of property rights.
Not getting the deal through parliament this week – which could happen, given how intense the debate will probably be – is the biggest near-term risk for markets, according to Wall Street strategists.

Questions on trash carts need to be answered
Questions on trash carts need to be answered
In reading about the new collection program for trash and recyclable pickup, there is going to be a problem with this on two-dwelling units and over. I believe each dwelling should have its own carts. Sharing one cart for two dwellings is going to cause a problem if the first floor puts out too much garbage in the cart and does not respect the second floor's need to put out their garbage in the same cart.
Since they cannot use regular garbage barrels, where else do they put their garbage? Also, no cart fee will be assessed for the original carts distributed to properties with one, two and three dwelling units. If the property has six family units, who pays for the carts needed for the six-family, the landlord or the tenant? I do not think the landlord will want this responsibility, but will it work in all the neighborhoods with multi-family units.
Also, if a person moves out, are they allowed to take the carts with them to their new address? A lot of issues on this have to be ironed out for this to work in the city of New Bedford.
As for myself, I generate more garbage in summer from cookouts. In the winter, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, my garbage almost doubles on these special days.
Also, carts for properties with one, two and three units will be automatically delivered. If a person lives in a six-family unit, does this mean they have to pick up their own carts and pay for them at the facilities and fleet management on Liberty Street?
This new collection program for trash and recyclables, in my belief, was not totally worked out for the general residents of New Bedford.

There are many ways you can partner with the work and ministry of ESA. You could volunteer and lead on any of our camps, partner with ESA through praying or partner financially partner with the work and ministry of ESA through donations.
Prayer Partners
Prayer is incredibly powerful and vital in the ministry. Each of our pastoral workers are ministering in a multitude of ways in many different setting. To receive ESA prayer updates please contact us so we can put you on the appropriate mailing list.
Each of our pastoral workers also has a prayer & support card outline how they are ministering in their area and how you can uplift them specifically in prayer. Each edition of InStep magazine includes a suggestion for how you might pray for the various people and activities of ESA through the month.
Financial Partners
As ESA is a faith mission, much of the work we do and the wages and costs of our pastoral workers relies heavily on the generosity of our financial partners to continue the work and ministry of ESA. Almost all of the activities of ESA cost, and camps are run with very small margins to keep each camp as affordable as possible. This is where you can help! You could partner by directly supporting one of our pastoral workers, by contributing to a partnership committee, providing sponsorships for those who find it difficult to attend camps due to finances or simply donate to ESA to allow your support to go to the greatest need.
Business Partners
ESA would like to acknowledge and thank these businesses who support ESA, our workers and all that we do. We use each of these businesses, so we can recommend them to you with confidence. Please show your support to these businesses where and when you are able to and let them know you have seen their business with ESA!

Swami Vivekananda Jayanti 2021 and 2022
Every 12 January is Swami Vivekananda Jayanti in West Bengal to celebrate the life of this man who had his greatest influence in the 1890's. The date also marks National Youth Day across the country.
|12 Jan
|Swami Vivekananda Jayanti
|12 Jan
|Swami Vivekananda Jayanti
Swami Vivekananda represented India and Hinduism at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions, and it was at that time and following that he became an inspiration to much of India's youth and had a great influence on the West and other parts of the world. The date of the holiday honouring Vivekananda is the swami's birthday.
On National Youth Day, special events are held all over the India, especially at educational institutions. You will see parades, speeches, musical performances, sports matches, and writing competitions, among other things. There are also special youth groups that are devoted to studying the writings and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda that will hold events in his honour on this day. Finally, look for the annual National Youth Festival to pay homage to the swami's legacy.
Swami Vivekananda Jayanti is a day to remember and learn from the man who did more than any other to spread the ideas of Hinduism, especially among the world's youth.

| 7°C Dublin
A dedicated police dog has been praised for successfully tracking a suspect for two miles.
German shepherd Troy was called to investigate after the owner of a "high value" Mercedes reported that it had been stolen from a house in Winscombe, North Somerset.
Avon and Somerset police officers had spotted the car and started a pursuit, but it was then lost from sight.
The vehicle was later found abandoned in Brockley Combe but there was no sign of the thieves.
Troy arrived at the scene with his handler Pc Jim Hampson and managed to pick up a scent.
He followed his nose for almost two miles and, together with a force helicopter, led a police team right to the suspect.
Four-year-old Troy was praised by Avon and Somerset chief constable Nick Gargan. He tweeted: "More great police dog work overnight. This time, our canine colleague Troy tracked for over 2 miles before finding a suspected burglar."
Pc Hampson, who has had Troy for three years, told the Bristol Post: "I'm very proud of his drive and determination.
"Tracking is his best skill and he'll go on and on. We went over a fence and through wood and over fields and it's a real challenge keeping hold of him."
Last October, Troy was praised for tracking a lead thief who fled after being caught red handed stripping the metal from the roof of a building in Blaise Castle, Bristol.

I look forward to February every year, because it contains 2 of my favorite fiber events: Madrona Winter Retreat, and Stitches West.

Working with yarn in lots of different ways keeps crafting fresh for me.

Please note we are unable to sell non-essential items at this time, however you can still add the item to your wishlist and we will be in touch when they are available for purchase
Product code: 4439
Exemplary service from Wallace Cotton. Excellent communication and very speedy delivery. Highly recommended.
They look and feel good,only time will tell
Love these large, thick towels. Have purchase a number of times and will continue to do so.
I love the new white bath sheets recently purchased and they have washed perfectly. They are lovely to wrap up in summer and winter!
I love my bath sheets. Nice and big, beautiful colour, and they dry well.
Beautiful colour and quality
I love these towels. They are thirsty and soft. Definitely need to do the whole soaking and drying thing or they fluff all over the place. Any residual fluffing wears off quite soon. These are hard wearing and great quality.
love it alot
So thick and fluffy
Good purchase
Just what I have come to expect from Wallace Cotton. Beautiful towels, generous size, which wash well and look great.
We followed the instructions and soaked the bath sheets before use. They came up absolutely beautiful, are super absorbent and are fluffy and luxurious after every wash.
gorgeous and generous in size
Soft, fluffy and a bit of luxury. Washes well.
Excellent towel. Great size.
Beautifully sumptuous towels bought to create a feeling of warmth and luxury in a show home. Will fit the bill beautifully and will probably buy some more for us at home since they are so perfect!
I am really pleased with these bath sheets. I love the charcoal colour and they wash really well. Another great purchase from Wallace Cotton!
Looks good
nice thick super big towels
This was a house warming gift for my daughter and her partner. They just love them - so thick and fluffy and a good "man size" towel. Rapid delivery within 24 hours! I would certainly buy again - my daughter said the quality was the best
Gorgeous sumptious bath sheets - first time buying towels from Wallace Cotton but am hooked! Fluffy and luxurious.
Great soft towel drys well, almost too big for the bathroom
These towels feel wonderfully luxurious and are a great size. I followed the pre-use recommendations and soaked them for 24 hours and they are completely absorbant, none of that new-towel-won't-get-you-dry feeling.
Lovely colours. I was concerned they were not going to be very fluffy and absorbent, but after washing a couple of times they have come up well. These towels dry really well from the first use.
really nice towels
I have been looking for years for fluffy bath towels that don't have that 'velvety' texture (ie which kind of rub the moisture all over you but don't actually dry it). I have purchased several sets of reasonably expensive towels which have under-performed. These are great! I did the soaking as recommended by the salesperson (actually it would be great to have these instructions inserted with any towel purchase cos if you don't know you don't know..) then line and dryer. Still needed another couple of wash/dryer sessions to lose fluff but now beautifully 'thirsty' and I have bought a second set.
Great size, colour and soft feel, just wish it was a touch more wicking/absorbing.
I use only Wallace Towels for our B&B - and they seem to survive the amount of washing they have to go through. I am disappointed nevertheless to have paid a "sale" price and then only yesterday to see you had reduced them even further. I bought 6 Bath Sheets and could have done with paying the lower price!
Nice thick towels that dry well
These towels are everything Wallace Cotton says they are - thick, soft, fluffy and wonderfully large. I did what was suggested and soaked them in cold water for 24 hours and then washed them, again in cold water and line dried them - gorgeous - one of life's simple luxuries.
Best towels ever! They are very fluffy and dry you really well. Size is huge. Love them!
I have a bed and breakfast and these are the classic fluffy white towels that guests expect. This is the second time I have bought them and I have found Wallace Cotton to be the best ever.
These wonderful towels are a fabulous choice for the blokes in our lives - an excellent size made out of luxuriously soft towelling.
.......scrumptious, fluffy, generous sized towels

The 7 Steps You Will Go Through
There are seven steps every family goes through when they lose a loved one. It knocks you off your normal path of life and, at times, onto a very painful path. Someday, you'll get back to your normal life, but during this time, your life is definitely not normal. Over the years, we have seen every family go through these same steps.
It's important that you know these steps have nothing to do with cremation versus burial or even how much someone spends on a service.
The first step on this painful path is a sense of private shock, a deep feeling of I'll never see him or her again.
At this point, many people feel physical pain. The heart races, you become short of breath, and you become lightheaded. Tears aren't far behind.
For some people, this lasts just a few minutes; for others, this can last weeks, months, or years.
Next, word begins to spread. Many times, this task will fall on the shoulders of one or two family members. Making the phone calls and spreading the news. Word first spreads through the immediate family, and then the extended family—brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren. This might take a few hours or even a few days.
Inevitably, what happens next is the family gathers to support each other and to make pressing decisions, such as who's going to go to the funeral home to make arrangements.
You may have already been nominated or you know the task is going to fall on your shoulders. We know it's a big responsibility. It's important for you to know that it's our mission to help you help your family. Let's talk about what's coming next.
Receiving condolences is the next step on the path. The process of spreading the word continues for days after the loss of a loved one. All of the family may know pretty quickly, but now the community of people around you gradually begins to find out over the next few days. Your friends, your coworkers, and your neighbors all have one burning desire: to say, "I'm so sorry for your loss." You may have already heard it from some people.
It may surprise you to learn that 65% of people who come to a memorial service tribute didn't know the deceased directly. They knew the family or a family member and are coming to support them.
As people learn the news, they all experience some degree of private shock. Their first thought will be, "I hope they're OK." They will feel a deep emotional need to gather around you and support you. Next, they will continue to spread the news—amongst other friends, coworkers, and acquaintances.
All of these people are jumping on the path with you and your family, and they all want the opportunity to say that they're sorry for your loss. This need to express condolences is part of our basic human nature.
The next step is called public mourning. While the people around you will need to express their condolences, you and your family will be going through an emotional time of mourning.
That's how something as deeply personal as mourning or expressing the loss of a loved one becomes a public event. You may feel like everyone is watching you. You may be processing your private memories of your loved one, and well-meaning people will want to support you.
The mourning step can be either very painful or very helpful. In a painful mourning, people focus on the death and on how you and your family are dealing with the loss.
In a helpful mourning, the focus is upon celebration of the life that your loved one lived. It helps you to mourn; yet, it takes the focus off of you and puts it upon your loved one's life, where it should be. Mourning is all about processing memories. Focusing on the stories of your loved one's life helps you do that.
Eventually, it will be time to say your final goodbye to your loved one. The final goodbye is the next step on the path. Whether you are choosing cremation or traditional burial, when you say goodbye for the last time, you're really closing the book on the set of memories that you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
How you go through these last three steps—condolences, public mourning, and final goodbye—directly dictates what happens in the concluding step.
The last step is private grief. Anyone who has ever lost a loved one can tell you that grief is very real. Some people find that there's a physical pain associated with it, just like the private shock of finding out that your loved one has died.
The things that remind you of the deceased can trigger grief. It could be a photograph, a chair, a crochet needle, or even the smell of aftershave.
But the most painful triggers can come a few months later, when people keep saying they're sorry for your loss. You might be ready to get back onto the normal path of life, yet well-meaning people may keep pulling you back into grief. A farewell tribute event provides a time and place for people to visit with you to express their condolences, so that all may move forward through private grief and on to emotional healing.
The seven universal steps of a loss begin with private shock, then word spreads, next the family gathers, you will begin receiving condolences, you'll experience public mourning, you'll say your final goodbye, and conclude with private grief. If your loved one has already passed, you and your family are on this path right now.
At Moles Farewell Tributes, we specialize in walking this path with you. We will manage the details so that your family and friends can focus on the life your loved one lived and cherish the stories one more time.

Ethernet connections are still used in offices throughout the world, and they still perform just as well as they ever did. However, there are more than a few advantages that come with upgrading from ethernet to wireless – if you're yet to make the switch, it's well worth taking a look at the benefits.
Ethernet connections are valued because they are faster than wireless connections. That's still true, but the difference in speed isn't important for the majority of offices, and what wireless loses in speed it makes up for in terms of flexibility. Instead of being tied to a workstation, wireless lets you and your team move around the office at will. If you want to bring everyone together to collaborate or switch around teams, you can do so without issue.
No Inconvenient Cables
With an ethernet connection, there needs to be a cable for every device that's connected. These can form a safety hazard, and it can take time to place them through walls or along skirting boards. With a wireless network, you only have to worry about the cables that run from router to power and from router to phone line.
Allows Modern Opportunities
When wireless started to gain steam, the way people use their devices started to change. For example, businesses can now adopt a BYOD policy that saves on the cost of buying company computers, and BYOD works a lot better with wireless connections. It's also easier for people who sometimes work at home to come in and connect up. Perhaps most importantly, ethernet connections are tough or impossible to use with more modern devices, including tablets and smartphones. Even the Microsoft Surface Pro requires an adaptor to connect to a traditional ethernet network.
Handles More Users
Wireless networks cannot handle an infinite number of devices, but they can usually accommodate more users than an ethernet network. After all, each one of those cables needs to be plugged into a connection port – if you run out of ports, you can't connect any further devices.

Ray Verdon's riveting tale makes you want to laugh and cry, and question history as he shines a light on Canada's Conscription Crisis and zombies—men forced to serve as reservists to defend Canadian shores during WWII, and reviled because they didn't go over to the fighting fields. As Verdon discovers, little was recorded about their treatment. One such zombie, Alfred Mondou, is chased through Canada's three solitudes by police, military and bounty hunters; Mondou goes through more heroics than Indiana Jones and Robin Hood. One pursuer, Mac Gleason, learns about a secret zombie network—so, will fugitive Mondou finally get caught by a nosy old coot?

We're excited to announce Flossmoor as our most recent partner in Illinois!
Flossmoor is a village with a growing population of 9,526, priding itself on being a multicultural and multiracial community. In particular, the Village of Flossmoor is known for its rich collection of public art (see picture above). For example, the Flossmoor Sculpture Gardens was the first of its kind in the region where world-class works of art have been installed within the bustling village square.
The Village's new app, called "Flossmoor Connect", will afford citizens, residents and visitors the ability to report problems such as potholes, graffiti, street lighting and snow clearing easily through web tools and mobile apps. Then, these reports will be forwarded directly to departments throughout the city that will utilize the valuable information to fix the issue.
In addition, the platform is a centralized and integrated management system, where city officials will be able to communicate directly with citizens, while tracking these issues and monitoring their progress. By harnessing this unified and citizen-connected platform, Flossmoor will increase both the quality and efficiency of service throughout the city.

Have you ever found it difficult to clearly define what you want and your vision for this next phase of your life? If you consider yourself smart, highly functioning, and have achieved a decent level of success but are still asking, "Why the heck can't I figure out what I want and go for it?" or "Why is my progress so slow and the pressure so intense?" then keep reading.
The greatest pain and theme that I hear today when I speak to people is that they've hit a point in life where they feel like they should be appreciative for all they have, but they don't feel fulfilled. They feel like they're going through the motions and getting it done. They've lost their passion, and they're tired of grinding it out and struggling. They know that the way they've lived their first half isn't the way they want to live their second half. And they want change, but they don't know what that is or how to get it.
You can listen to the full podcast episode here, or continue reading below:
I've identified this as the Nagging Half-Version Syndrome. I define it as a sense of knowingness that we are not showing up to what we're capable of. It's a widespread longing to step into our fullest version of ourselves, both personally and professionally. This syndrome is sweeping our families and homes and is the ultimate UN-rest.
What we all want is to know we're living our best version of ourselves. That when we get to our last day we can look back and say we've lived boldly, loved fully, and our life made a difference.
Now, after many years of working with hundreds of passionate, talented, highly functioning individuals, whether their corporate or entrepreneurial, men or women, young or old, leaders—budding or established– I've seen that most of us were never taught and don't know how living a life that's both successful and fulfilling really works.
What I uncovered after years of working with clients is that there are a series of specific steps taken in the right order that were repeatedly leading to my clients to extraordinary results. I put them together in a strategy I call Playing Full Out.
Playing Full Out is not about grinding it out or pushing your pedal to the metal, working harder or striving and pushing and longer. It's identifying what success means to YOU, and showing up fully for it.
Here are the four foundational keys to "playing full out" and transforming your life and leadership:
#1) Stop Trying to Change External Circumstances
The biggest detriment to our own progress is thinking that everything is happening to us. That we are victim to it all. We have to own that we're much more powerful than we've previously given ourselves credit. We are powerful co-creators. It's an empowering to understand we're 100% responsible for 50% of a relationship.
Stop looking for how you're going to change external circumstances. Instead turn your focus on who you are being as you do what you do. Looking at our internal obstacles is still not getting the attention it deserves. The questions to ask is, "Am I contributing or contaminating this situation?" And how can you change your own approach to affect a different result.
#2) Stop Settling and Raise Your Standards
The second key to playing full out in life is to stop settling, and raise your standards. This means ask for what you want and expect it. The only reason a person has something "more than you" in a certain area is because they have a higher standard around it.
When I go to the gym at 6:00 AM and am mesmerized by all the people that are finishing their workout because they arrived at 5:00 AM, I realize that's just what they do. It's their standard. Choose to raise your standards and say "This is just what I do." "This is how I roll." Whether it's what you eat, your self-care regimen, exercise routine, support you request, or boundaries you keep, choose to raise your standards. Imagine if that new standard became–it's just what I do."
#3) Stop Focusing on What You Don't Want
Whether we want our kids to stop doing what their doing, we don't want another micro-managing boss or another year like x, we tend to focus too much time on what we don't want.
Instead of targets like how do I escape my spouse being frustrated with me? How do I avoid disappointing my client? Or how do I stop worrying about my family's financial picture," choose what you do want. Tune into your own internal GPS. You will know the truth by the way it feels. Ask yourself, "What energizes me? What brings me joy? And what do I want more of in this next phase of life?"
As Einstein said, we can't create what we haven't first imagined. If we focus only on what we don't want we'll get more of it. If our target is vague and blurry, we're going to get vague and blurry results.
#4) Release Your Inner Control Freak
Tina Fey says, "Say yes, and you'll figure it out afterward." And the fourth key to living a life played full out is to take the leap before you think you're ready.
What is a leap? A leap is an unplanned or uncalculated intuitive hit. It's something that comes into your mind when you least expect it. Rarely does it come while you're sitting at your desk. You might get the insight after you've taken a shower, while in the shower, or perhaps after you exercise. A leap might be to make a call to a potential client, sign up for an opportunity you don't feel ready for yet, ask to join a group you think is above you, or interview for a position that stretches you.
The reason we don't leap before we feel ready is because we humans hate uncertainty. It's a natural, human, primal response to resist it. The aversion to uncertainty may keep us alive, but it will never help us thrive. Leaping first and figuring it out as we go, breaks the old inhibiting patterns.
If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you. We'll never experience the optimal vision of our life with our inner control freak in charge. Take your next step before you feel smart enough, confident enough, or ready enough. Your life will thank you. You might even get a date with the life you love.
And remember if you nail something right out of the gate, whether it's a perfect product launch, speech, interview, presentation or conversation, then you've waited too long!
The bottom line is that to ensure the greatest version of you and your leadership are at play…
- Own that you are a powerful co-creator.
- Raise your standards and expand your boundaries.
- Tune in to know what you want for this phase of your life.
- Take the leap before you think you're ready.

Middle Aged borrowers struggling to take out mortgages ñ effect of new lending rules 'a major challenge'
Mortgage affordability regulations, newly specified in Aprilís Mortgage Market Review, mean lenders have re-vamped their requirements for loan approvals. Banks & building societies are now considering a borrowerís post-retirement income before sanctioning a mortgage term which ends after the latterís retirement. Even those who are planted firmly in the black, with sizeable assets and a good income must meet these requirements.
Figures from one of the UKís leading independent mortgage brokers, the Mortgage Advice Bureau, display lenders' growing penchant for implementing maximum age limits for mortgages. Averaging at 72, this maximum cut-off age causes borrowers to be left with a small amount of time to repay their mortgage. The pressure resulting from this short time-frame is not conducive to the lifestyle a citizen of such an age ought to be leading. Moreover, the resulting debt would be problematic given the lack of livelihood and unpredictable health of an elderly person.
"The new affordability rules are creating a collision between borrowers' desire to stretch their repayment terms beyond their normal retirement age, and the requirement for lenders to carry out income-based checks to ensure that consumers can afford to repay their loans," said Brian Murphy, Head of Lending at the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB).
"Borrowers often seek longer repayment terms to reduce their monthly repayments and keep them as a manageable portion of their overall expenditure. However, if that term crosses over from their working life into retirement, there is still a regulatory imperative for lenders to ensure that affordability will not be compromised when regular employment income comes to an end.
"Many lenders also have a maximum cut-off age for borrowers at the end of their mortgage term, which averaged 72 across the market in June. The result is that some borrowers are left with a limited window in which to repay their mortgage, especially as housing pressures and delayed home-ownership can mean people taking on a loan later in life than once was the norm."
As displayed by figures released by the MAB, 1 in 5 buyer searches on-line insisted on a mortgage term of 30 years or more. This protracted period of repayment can be beneficial to an extent.
On the one hand, dividing the sizeable cost of a mortgage over a lengthier period of time will assure lenders that customers are capable of affording monthly repayments, in accordance with their incomes. This reduced pressure on borrowers can lead to monthly repayments being decreased by over £100, depending on the interest rate, compared with the archetypal 25 year term.
However, it also pushes up the total cost of the loan in its entirety, potentially adding tens of thousands to final amount.
"Lenders are increasingly concerned as to how mortgages are going to be repaid," said Adrian Anderson, director of mortgage broker Anderson Harris, "and have particular worries about those borrowers taking on interest-only mortgages who don't have any plans in place to pay off the loan. It is harder for older applicants to get a mortgage with many lenders insisting the loan is paid off by the age of 65 or 70, depending on their criteria.
"Increasingly since Mortgage Market Review, many lenders are using 65 as the applicant's retirement age which makes little sense when the state retirement age is rising and most people will work on beyond this age.
"Given that the average age of a first-time buyer is their mid-30's, by the time many have saved up for a deposit there is not enough time to pay the mortgage back by the time they reach retirement age. Stretching the term to reduce the payments and help with affordability is not an option either. Some lenders are more flexible than others with regard to when a mortgage is paid off so if you are in an occupation where you are intending to work until you are 70, some lenders will consider this."
Recognising the wide variety of needs borrowers of all ages harbour remains one of the biggest challenges facing the mortgage market. The ageing population has to be faced, their worth to society assessed and their ailments accommodated ñ there is work to be done, quite literally.

High Voltage Riddle No.4 - High voltage Dead tank & Live tank equipments
High Voltage Riddle No.4 - High voltage Dead tank & Live tank equipments
Please explain the difference between dead tank & live tank type CTs with relative merits/demerits and constructional difference.

Circuit breakers:
Circuit breakers are available as live tank, dead tank, or grounded tank designs. Dead tank means interruption takes place in a grounded enclosure and current transformers are located on both sides of the break (interrupter contacts). Interrupter maintenance is at ground level and seismic withstand is improved versus live tank designs. Bushings (more accurately described as gas-filled weathersheds, because, unlike the condenser bushings found on bulk oil circuit breakers, gas breakers do not have true bushings) are used for line and load connections that permit installation of bushing current transformers for relaying and metering at a nominal cost. The dead tank breaker does require additional insulating oil or gas (i.e., more insulating oil or gas than just the amount required to perform successful interruption and to maintain adequate dielectric strength) to provide the insulation between the interrupter and the grounded tank enclosure.
Live tank means interruption takes place in an enclosure that is at line potential. Live tank circuit breakers consist of an interrupter chamber that is mounted on insulators and is at line potential. This approach allows a modular design as interrupters can be connected in series to operate at higher voltage levels. Operation of the contacts is usually through an insulated operating rod or rotation of a porcelain insulator assembly via an operating mechanism at ground level. This design minimizes the quantity of oil or gas required as no additional quantity is required for insulation of a grounded tank enclosure. The live tank design also readily adapts to the addition of pre-insertion resistors or grading capacitors when they are required. Seismic capability requires special consideration due to the high center of gravity of the live tank breaker design, and live tank circuit breakers require separate, structure mounted, free standing current transformers.
Grounded tank means interruption takes place in an enclosure that is partially at line potential and partially at ground potential. Although the grounded tank breaker's current transformers are on the same side of the break (interrupter contacts) the grounded tank breaker relays just like a dead tank breaker. The grounded tank breaker design came about as a result of the installation of a live tank breaker interrupter into a dead tank breaker configuration.
Current transformer:
The Outdoor Current Transformers may be Live Tank Design or Dead Tank Design. In the Live tank design, Active part (ie Core with secondary and Primary duly insulated) is in the top tank. Top Tank is live and secondary is insulated and taken to the bottom tank. In Dead Tank design, Active part is in bottom tank. The bottom tank is dead ( in ground Potential) and the primary is insulated and taken to the top tank for primary termination.

Dear Hamid
What is the advantage of live tank over dead tank...as we are using live tank ct in 800kv, 420kv,220kv,132kv..
what is the reason using live tank type...as u said that "Dead tank is more applicable"

describe us the details of live tank PT & how it works?
Author : S.K.Deore
Mon, July 2nd, 2012 - 10:44
Dead Tank is more applicable because its cheaper. The manufacturing of bushing for power transformer can be used is this case and automatic wrapping of paper made it easy to manufacture (time and cost reduces) and available in plenty from many manufacturers. Installation is easier since the tank is far from live line.
Advantages of Live tank -->
a) Shorter primary conductor gives better rigidity and high short circuit current withstanding capability.
b) With uniformly distributed primary winding these CTs are with lower reactance -->provides inherent better transient performance.
c) Main source of heat - high current part is only in primary tank -- ensures less heating of bushing/core compared to dead tank type design. This ensures better thermal stability and less problem created through dissolved gas in insulating oil. In case something goes wrong - a well designed live tank CT wont explode only from top unlike the blast of insulator core of dead tank CTs' which can damage human life a well as the other substation equipments nearby.

Dear V.K.Nambiathiri
in India we are following Live Tank Circuit Breakers from 132KV Level to 765KV level.
in case of 1200KV Dead tank Circuit breakers are adopting due seismic test pass.
in case of CTs either Live tank or dead tank both acceptable. but in case of 1200KV Dead Tank.
Further in 1200KV adopting Hybrid GIS system with inbuilt CT.
Dear Saptarshi Chatterjee
Accepted the views given

Live tank CT are cheaper because the length of primary conductor is very less and the oil capacity is also less . Live tank CT is more susceptible to failure because the secondary terminals ( multiple ) are to be routed from the tank top up to the bottom , where they are terminated .
In case of Live tank , the pressure relieving aperture is very close to the CT tank and the gas generated are released quickly reducing the chances of bursting .
The primary being shorter have lesser Resistance and hence less loss ( heat generation) giving specific advantages in cooling and overloading .

text: There are comments, both on the internet and in conversations, that it is time to have more than two political parties. Much of this is due to congress's unfavorable standing with the public as well as all the bipartisanship being shown lately. But, as stated in the article that is linked below, if we look beyond the immediate machinations of our politicians, we will find that the root of this problem began in 1913 with the adoption of the 17th amendment. When you read through this article, I think you will find that no matter how many political parties we have, the same problem will exist. That problem could be summarized in the saying "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I am amazed at times that we, the people, seem to act in the moment instead of trying to find the source of whatever problem we may have. Read the article and understand that the present political problems we have, were created by us, the people. Remember, a constitutional amendment cannot be put in place without the approval of the majority of the citizens.

Sarah Jessica Parker once said "As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going."
I have recently finished university. Up until now I always knew what to do or where to go. Now I don't. I don't want to make the wrong decision and end up doing something I regret – but I guess if you don't try you'll never know, ey? So I'm going to buckle up and live by those wise words of the incredible Sarah Jessica Parker.

Internet jihad…
Another in Kathy Shaidle's marvelous series.
Lying on the budget…
Other than giving my impressions, I haven't gotten into the meat of Obama's less than impressive press conference. You know it was bad when even the San Fran Chronicle politics blog calls His Oneness a lecturer.
I could write for a week on the lies he trotted out, but here are some columns that highlight some of the most outrageous things in his proposed budget.
Start with the impression he gave that the Bush deficits went continually up, when they were actually declining.
Then to the charities which His Oneness assured us would not see a dime less.
And here.
But people may be starting to catch on.
FHA lending becomes the new subprime…
Citigroup and Bank of America are reportedly using bailout money to purchase mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market, while FHA lending has exploded, and banks are starting to wash their hands of taking over the foreclosures.
Does anyone imagine that FHA has sufficient reserves in its accounts to cover these looming losses? Does anybody doubt that taxpayers will shortly be on the hook for them as well?
Welcome to the logocracy…
Kathy Shaidle refers to Canada, but it's fast becoming accurate for the USA.
A government ruling through words….
Obama ousts GM chairman…
Yesterday the White House pushed out the chairman of General Motors and told Chrysler to form a partnership with Italian automaker Fiat within 30 days as a condition for receiving another round of government aid.
With the C.E.O. gone, GM is now run by the Chief Operating Officer. What reporters need to ask at the daily briefing from the White House is what the COO agreed to do that the CEO would not. That ought to give Press Secretary Robert Gibbs a whale of a deer-in-the-headlights moment, but I won't hold my breath that any reporter will oblige me with what should be the most obvious question of all.
There is no mention, of course, of the new mileage standards the government just mandated. Thank God I bought my big diesel truck before all this nonsense started. Pretty soon we'll all have vehicles that will tote about 2 bags of groceries, and nobody in cities will be able to afford anything larger than a bicycle, which is what the liberal urban planners consider Nirvana.
Let's see, the financial sector is already run by White House dictates, now the auto industry. Who's next? And there will be a next, even if Congress manages to resist Geithner's call for more regulatory power. His Oneness isn't concerned, since they've taken the power without its being granted — so what if Congress doesn't catch up.
Another in Kathy Shaidle's enlightening series about Islam in America.
Muslims have been using lawsuits in many places besides Minneapolis, and it has proven effective.
Combined with the UN's resolution against religious "defamation", this is a concerted effort to kill free speech.

"Gypsy moths bring unwelcome rash for some" (The Standard-Times, June 1) misses the mark on the real reason residents must protect their trees from gypsy moths caterpillars.
Obviously, no one wants a rash from these annoying insects, but there real worry is the tree mortality they may cause this summer. Tree mortality is a serious matter, and though most are predicted to survive multiple defoliations, that is only in the case that they are in a healthy condition.
Trees are facing many stresses that leave them defenseless against gypsy moths. These stresses include, but are not limited to drought, pollution, and other defoliating species such as the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) and the black oak gall wasp (Zapatella davisae).
As forest quality diminishes, so does natural habitat, biodiversity, air quality, soil stability, and overall enjoyment of natural spaces.
It's essential for homeowners to realize their responsibility to their trees. Yes, gypsy moths are a nuisance, cause rashes, and affect the attractiveness of a yard. But what really matters is how important it is that our trees keep their vitality this summer.

| "The moment we begin to believe that we are doing badly because someone else is doing well, that moment that aggrievement takes over, it's not long before his twin brother comes behind, and that would be entitlement"-Condi Rice 2012
"We need people in Washington who believe, but who believe based on the right values — personal responsibility, fiscal discipline, care for one another, strength for our armed forces and a sense of this very special, exceptional country," –Rice
After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us
|And we need to give parents greater choice, particularly,
particularly poor parents whose kids, very often minorities, are
trapped in failing neighborhood schools. This is the civil
rights issue of our day.
If we do anything less, we can damage generations to
joblessness and hopelessness and life on the government dole. If we do anything less, we will endanger our global
imperatives for competitiveness. And if we do anything less, we
will tear apart the fabric of who we are and cement the turn
toward entitlement and grievance.— Condileeza Rice 2012
"America has never had a narrative of grievance. We've never believed 'I am doing poorly because you're doing well,'" she said. "The moment we begin to believe that we are doing badly because someone else is doing well, that moment that aggrievement takes over, it's not long before his twin brother comes behind, and that would be entitlement."– Utah 2012, campaigning for another black female running against a male Democrat.
Grace Williams explains how Black Americans need to stop acting like victims:
It is a cry of many Black Americans that ,"We have not yet reached the Promised Land." and "When will we reach our Promised Land." Guess what? This is the 21st century and those mantras are tired and worn out. We Black Americans must create our Promised Land through high intellectual and academic achievement in addition to a prodigious work ethic.
Sadly, many Black Americans believe that they need a savior to help them to achieve educational and socioeconomic parity. I heard that many Black Americans state that they voted for Barack Obama to be President of the United States solely because he is Black. A lot of Black Americans pinned all of their hopes and dreams on President Obama, praying and hoping that he would get them out of a hopelessly dire socioeconomic situation and into a more affluent lifestyle. Now many Black Americans are displeased with President Obama because they believed that he did not create for them the housing and jobs that he promised that he would create.Many Black Americans contend that they are blameless for the educational and socioeconomic morass they are in. This belief and ideology are not only prevalent among lower socioeconomic classes of Black Americans but also among a few middle and upper middle socioeconomic classes of Black Americans. For example, one maternal cousin once removed, who has a Master's Degree in Psychology and is in a high-level administrative position, steadfastly maintain that "the man" is holding "us brother/sisters back".
Every Saturday morning in my area(Harlem) without fail, in a park opposite that of my apartment complex, there are a group of Black Americans led by the Reverend Al Sharpton shouting repeatedly, " No justice, no peace!" as if only doing this will obtain them quality education, housing, and job equality. Many Black Americans want to be rescued. It seems that they are waiting for a Great Savior to come to Earth and make everything copacetic.
Each time I go into the African-American section of Barnes & Nobles and any other book store, 75% of the books regarding the Black American cultural experience are about Black victimology and 25% of the books are about Black achievement, excellence, and self-empowerment. Many of the subjects pertaining to Black American culture on some Black-made DVDs and CDs stress Black victimology and how we are oppressed by the enemy. Seldom do I find any Black-made DVDs and CDs stressing Black education, achievement, empowerment and how to be socioeconomically successful. Finding a book on Black American culture that is not imbued with the victimization mentality is analogous to finding a needle in a haystack.
Tom Burrell, Black American author of BRAINWASHED: CHALLENGING THE MYTH OF BLACK INFERIORITY asserted that Black American students are the worst students in the country. Many Black American leaders cited institutional racism and poor socioeconomic living conditions. According to the Education Trust, only a minute 12% of Black American fourth graders were reading at their grade level and beyond; however, an abysmal 61% of Black American fourth graders lacked rudimentary reading skills.
Now let us look at the racism factor. To reiterate, yes there is institutionalized racism in this society not only against Blacks but all people of color. However, studies authenticate that Black students in Caribbean and African families outachieve Black American students in the academic arena. A second study showed that middle and upper middle class Black American high school students had similar SAT scores to lower socioeconomic class Caucasians. Regarding socioeconomic class, it has been substantiated that Asians in poor neighborhoods are high academic achievers and score high on SAT tests. So the variables of race and socioeconomic classes are declared invalid. Now, what is the underlying factor which is a determinant of the academic underachievement of the Black American student?
Many Black students are told by their parents, relatives, and peers that they are performing well "as long as they pass the course." In the Black American student milieu, they are told that education is for nerds and to "stay real/Black" and "not to act white" i.e. being a high academic achiever. In the Black American student milieu, the high achieving Black American student is often stigmatized, ostracized, and/or worse by the lower achieving Black American student. In many Black American families, intellectualism and academic achievement is not highly prized.
Oh, look, A Secretary of State that was not only a woman, she was black, and not as corrupt and universe is wide….
since she's a <<shudder>> CONSERVATIVE! She must be evil and forgotten… 🙂

Warning : This blog post contain images that are not suitable viewing for arachnophobes!
The next point of call was to be Wenderholm, another one of the glorious Auckland Regional Council Parks in the northern reaches of greater Auckland. There is a new camping area that has been developed, well, new since we were last here, and it is a stunning set up. The camp is a lovely flat area alongside the estuary, beautifully planted out, with lovely facilities.
This is a view of the camping area taken from above looking out toward the Puhoi River. The entrance to the river is to the right of the photo.
Looking back toward the camp from the main beach front
There are a number of ducks parading around the park. They come in all sizes including a trio on an early outing in the river.
At all of the Regional Parks there is rubbish disposal for both waste and recyclables. These facilities are provided by large plastic hooded in ground bins. It has been somewhat of a mystery as to how these are emptied as they seem to be at least 3 or 4 metres deep.
But we now do not have to wonder any more. This morning a truck turned up and simply attached a hoist to the lid of the bins and lifted! The bins contain a liner attached to a ring frame under the lid. The complete contents are lifted and a draw rope pulled to open the bag and the contents spilled into the truck Very neat and tidy, no mess, simply redo the draw rope and replace the the empty bag into the holder.
As usual there are some very old Pohutukawa trees along the river bank showing the characteristic form with aerial roots, epiphytes. exposed roots and an apparent tenuous hold on the river banks.
Alongside these there are some young Kowhai trees in bloom on the banks as well
All of the livestock is not necessarily in the paddocks. This rather large spider was in one of the sinks in the toilet block. This would undoubtedly scare some.
Along with the native trees in the park there is a row of Flame trees in bloom. They provide a nectar source for the Tui before the flax begins to flower.
And of course there are the Pukeko. Lots and lots, including these small ones being fed by parents. These have not even reached the stage of being pom-poms on sticks so are very young.
During our stay here this week, we have put out the flounder net on a couple of occasions, alas, no flounder were harmed during this process although we do know that there is at least one there, as Roy nearly stepped on one as we were setting the net! Never mind, another time as we will certainly be back here. We have really enjoyed our 5 day/4 night stay here, it has been quiet, relaxing and just plain delightful.
And to more domestic matters. We were able to buy Seville Oranges at the Kerikeri market and these have been made into Marmalade. Now all we have to find out is if they have the same effect on medication as Grapefruit before some of us can enjoy it.
The one of us that can enjoy the Marmalade, can attest that its damn delicious

NordForsk Open Invitation
NordForsk may fund high quality research, research infrastructure and research-based innovation in different sectors of society and select projects for funding based on scientific quality and expected Nordic added value.
The Open Invitation mechanism is NordForsk's main mechanism for the development of NordForsk research programmes:
Open Invitation is an opportunity for the national research funding organisations* to take an active part in setting the NordForsk research agenda. The national research funding organisations are invited to propose new Nordic programmes, or extension of existing NordForsk programmes. At least 2/3 of the programme budget should be provided by external organisations from at least three Nordic countries. NordForsk will then co-fund the programme with up to 1/3 of the total budget. The joint Nordic programmes will be administered by NordForsk, however the national research funding organisations will be involved in the financial decisions and the planning of the programmes through participation in the Programme Committees.
About NordForsk
NordForsk is an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers that facilitates and provides funding for Nordic research cooperation and research infrastructure. NordForsk's key stakeholders comprise the national research councils, universities and other research-funding bodies. Together with stakeholders NordForsk works to identify common Nordic priorities and provides funding for research and research infrastructure. NordForsk has a Board with full responsibility, that consists of five members from the national research funding organisations and one from the Association of Nordic University Rectors Conferences (NUS). In addition, there a observers representing the funding organisations in The Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
A mechanism for establishment of new NordForsk initiatives
The NordForsk Board aims to develop NordForsk in a manner that secures close ownership and involvement of the key stakeholders – especially the national research funding organisations.
In light of this, NordForsk has established a mechanism to ensure a simple and flexible way of establishing new programmes and initiatives: the NordForsk Open Invitation. The mechanism should mobilise and stimulate the national research funding organisations to make use of NordForsk funding and the NordForsk administration. NordForsk's ambition for the mechanism is to encourage and enable the national research funding organisations to set the NordForsk research agenda by working together to develop common expressions of interests, thereby ensuring the involvement of the national research funding organisations in developing new initiatives as described in the NordForsk statues: "NordForsk ska främst utforma initiativen utifrån de nationella forskningsfinansierande organens prioriteringar" (NordForsk Statutes, paragraph 2.1). For the national research funding organisations, the Open Invitation provides an effective way of contributing to Nordic added value, increasing the value of their funding by up to 50 percent, reducing their own administrative costs, and supporting international research cooperation.
NordForsk Open Invitation
Through the Invitation, NordForsk calls on the national research funding organisations to submit expressions of interest to establish new initiatives in fields where they see a common basis for Nordic research funding cooperation. For an expression of interest to be a candidate for a new programme or initiative, certain minimum requirements must be met:
- The initiative can be either research collaboration or research infrastructure collaboration and must be supported with funding by a minimum of three national research funding organisations from three Nordic countries, or two Nordic countries plus either Greenland, The Faroe Islands, or Åland; or two Nordic countries plus a non-Nordic country.
- The NordForsk share of the proposed total budget and the total spending of the programme may vary from 0 – 1/3, based on strategic priorities and the budgetary situation.
- The funding model, the financial scope, and timeline of the programme, is determined by NordForsk in collaboration with the national research funding organisations.
- The contribution from the funders must be at least 20 mill NOK before a new programme or activity can be adopted by NordForsk.
- An expression of interest does not need to include a formal funding commitment from the national research funding organisations, but funding possibilities must be realistic. The payments of the national contributions may be adjusted to suit the national organisations' budget timelines.
- A description of the scope of the initiative, including a clear case for Nordic added value, and, where appropriate, relevance for existing NordForsk activities, must be included. The description must outline how the initiative complements ongoing national and international initiatives.
The expressions of interest could either be on a completely new theme, or an extension of an existing NordForsk programme or initiative, and will be examined by NordForsk secretariat and presented to the NordForsk Board for funding decision. The decision should be based on the criteria above. In dialogue with the national research funding organisations, the NordForsk Board decides how the initiative should be organised in NordForsk.
The NordForsk secretariat and Board will, at the request of any of the Nordic national research funding organisations assist in any way possible in the development of expressions of interests. This includes, for example, acting as a "broker" and facilitate contact between relevant contact persons in the various organisations, organising meetings at the request of the organisations, organise and host seminars/workshops/conferences on particular themes should this be needed, and commissioning feasibility studies or the like on behalf of the organisations. National research funding organisations that would like to pursue an idea for a Nordic programme may in any case, as a first step, contact the NordForsk secretariat for advice on how to proceed.
Once an expression of interest evolves into a new programme, this programme would, as other NordForsk programmes, be administrated by NordForsk, and funding of research will be subject to rigorous peer-review process in line with international best practice. NordForsk funding will cover a substantial part of the administrative costs, thus providing a cost-efficient solution for the national research councils. The NordForsk Board will appoint a Programme Committee based on nominations from the national research funding organisations, as per existing practice.
The NordForsk Board will each year allocate a budget for Open Invitation and invite the national research funding organisations to submit expressions of interests. The expressions of interest could be either for a single, large initiative or several smaller ones. NordForsk will have deadlines for submissions four times per year, in advance of NordForsk Board meetings.
Projects that are funded in a NordForsk programme may have research performing organisations, public sector, private sector and third sector participants, pending on the purpose and objectives of the programme and project. All projects funded by a NordForsk programme must have a research performing organisation** as the project owner and main applicant.
*The primary addressees of the Open Invitation mechanism are the national research funding organisations in the Nordic countries: https://www.nordforsk.org/en/policy/norden/forskningsradene-i-norden-en
Other research funding organisations, private or public, may be involved in Open Invitation initiatives in collaboration with primary addresses.
**A research performing organisation is a legal entity which is a university, university college or a research institute, and is characterised by the following:
- A primary goal to independently conduct fundamental research and/or applied research and or research-based innovation where results are published.
- The entity may be private or public but must not pay out dividends from its activities.
- The entity must have significant production of academic, published research.

Sustainable Care: Connecting People and Systems
How can we make 21st century systems of care sustainable? and how can citizens be empowered to have more control over how care resources are accessed and care costs distributed? The care of older, sick and disabled people is a timely and important topic: population ageing, modernising health and social care systems, and new ways of organising / supporting care work (paid and unpaid) are critical issues for governments worldwide. The sustainability of care is challenged by increasing population mobility and ageing and rising social inequalities which make commodified caring labour accessible to the most affluent but beyond reach for the less well-off, including many older, sick or disabled people.
Widening inequalities are challenging cultural practices, with important effects on care practices, which are often deeply embedded in familial and cultural values, yet under great pressure from economic and demographic change. This strain is felt most acutely among minority, migrant and indigenous populations, frequently drawn into 'global care chains' or facing care dilemmas within transnational family networks.
This research collaboration will analyse and compare these developments, assess their role in making care sustainable, theorise their impact and offer critical assessment of policy options.

Wiring little wires to stuff or "How did I get fingerprint scanner"
So I had/have a semi-old dead laptop. The motherboard is dead, everything else works. It's a Dell XPS M1330. It has a fingerprint scanner that made my curious. How does it work? How is it connected and can I use it?
I ripped the laptop open and extracted all kinds of fun stuff including the fingerprint sensor.
It has a little chip with a writing / / TCD42A1DN0 / /
So I started investigating.
First thing that threw me off was the 6 pin ribbon cable (USB typically uses 4).
- Finding ground pin is the easiest – Found that.
- Found the power pin- It was a line that had a capacitor connected with the ground. So I assumed this was the power pin.
- Two pins are unpopulated.
- Two pins are connected to resistors – starts to seem like USB data lines~.
Interfacing it.
Typically all internal laptop stuff uses 3.3V. So that seemed a safe way to go. I need to use a voltage converter to step down from 5V.
It has a ribbon cable, so that's a no go. Removed that and the plug and decided to connect wires directly to it.
This needs some soldering under a microscope because this stuff is tiny.
Soldered everything up and time to test.
USB data + and – //connected it randomly, 50/50 chance that it goes correctly the first time. (But in real life I connect it always backwards the first time.)
Connected it a perforated board and hooked up the USB cable.
Time to roll
Connected to a computer. Windows detected it (Data+ and Data- went right ways the first time). Windows installed drivers automatically and restarted the computer.
Voila, it is working!

Do you live near Bowling Green, Kentucky? I don't, but I'm considering a road trip for the Duncan Hines Festival on August 10 and 11. Just the very name conjures images of brownies, cakes, muffins, and cookies. And, did I mention, brownies?
According to the website, "The Bowling Green Junior Woman's Club is proud to host the 16th annual Duncan Hines Festival. This year's events include a Concert in the Park, Art Exhibit, Adventures in Good Baking Contest and the very popular Uncle Duncan's Duck Derby! Proceeds from this event will benefit the Regional Child Development Clinics and other worthy nonprofit causes."
The event looks like loads of fun. There's even a brownie-eating contest!
I doubt I'll really be able to make this trip, but I know my family would enjoy it. What fair or area event are you looking forward to this year?

This article represents the institutionalization of Hayek's fatal conceit. This top-down, non-market approach to health care delivery is shrouded in the usual terms and phrases that lend credibility to the illegitimate.
There are so many false premises taken for granted in this article that the author probably couldn't get past his second sentence without failing a blistering challenge from someone that actually knew what they were talking about and wasn't affected by the Kool-Aide this guy has drunk. HIT(health information technology) has a life all its own, now, regardless of the mindlessness of it all. An industry created out of nothing and subsidized with taxpayer money that makes Solyndra look like Toy Story.
If you think that the good doctors are going to tell the feds to shove this up their arse and not see any patients for whom they are required to comply with this Meaningful Use crap, parts 1 and 2, you go to the head of the class. But then, that's the whole point, isn't it? Rationing by overwhelming technological obfuscation. This stuff might make for a dark sort of sit-com many months from now when people everywhere are aware of the consequences of this overstepping of government. People dying from denial of care isn't funny, though, is it?
