Kenya is mourning the death of one of its leading dairy researcher Dr Titus P. Lanyasunya.
Dr Lanyasunya had more than 20 years of experience in research and has been the head of dairy research programme in Kenya Agriculture Livestock Research Organisation (KARL0) in Naivasha.
Born at Lolkunono village in Samburu district, the late Dr Lanyanyusa was a holder of Bsc in Animal production (Egerton University), Msc in Livestock production systems (Wageningen University/Netherlands) and PhD in Animal Nutrition (Yangzhou University/PR China).
Since joining KARI, Dr Lanyasunya managed to publish 24 articles in refereed journals (all in the field of animal science), over 30 articles in international conferences, Several book chapters, Extension booklets and articles in key farmers' magazines.
Some of his research work is/was supported by funds secured through open competitive bidding. Since joining KARI in July 1993, Dr Lanyasunya has won several competitive research grants, dairy consultancies and established robust collaborative research linkages at both national and international levels.
In recognition of his good work, Dr Lanyasunya won several awards. The most notable was Certificate of Honour presented to him on 19th October 1996 by Hon. Jan P. Pronk (Minister for Development Cooperation/The Netherlands); Nomination as KARI scientist of the year in 2007 (the award was presented to by the Chairman – KARI Board of Management: Dr J. Mutugi); and decoration with a medal of "The Order of Grand Warrior of Kenya (OGW)" presented to him by President Mwai Kibaki in December 2008 for distinguished service to the nation.
In 2008, Dr Lanyasunya was entrusted by KARI management the responsibility of joining three other Eastern African countries (Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania) in the development of Eastern African Agricultural Productivity Projects (EAAPP) to assist in the alleviation of poverty, food insecurity and unemployment in the region.
Dr Lanyasunya's role was to lead Kenyan team in the development of a robust Regional Dairy Centre of Excellence (RDCoE) serving the entire Central and Eastern Africa Region (ECA). He ably steered this process till the project was approved by the World in 2009 to the tune of US $ 30 million for a period of five years, with a possibility of extension for another five years.
In addition, Dr Lanyasunya has supervised several local and international Msc and PhD students some of whom are registered at either Egerton University or University of Bonn/Germany.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has eulogized Dr. Titus Pirishon Lanyasunya as a great researcher who contributed to the improvement of livestock production systems and animal nutrition in Kenya.
The President said as a lead scientist in Kenya Agricultural Research & Livestock Organisation KARLO, Dr. Lanyasunya and others ensured that Kenya continued to be in the forefront in dairy and meat products in the East and Central Africa region.
"Having vast experience in livestock research with a focus on livestock production systems and animal nutrition, Dr Lanyasunya was a driving force in the improvement of our livestock sector, having won several competitive research grants and recognition awards.," said President Kenyatta.
Dr. Lanyasunya is a brother of Kenyan High Commissioner to Canada, Ambassador John Lepi Lanyasunya, and was until his death Director, Dairy Research Institute, Naivasha where he has been fighting to save the institute's land from land grabbers.

Dave's Review
Took my Volvo in for an oil change and standard maintenance. Brons mechanics took care of those and found a problem with my tie rods which I had felt in hindsight. Ordered parts and fixed same day!
Good service at good prices! Plus they offer shuttle service or you can hang out at a nearby restaurant or the mall. Plus you get a free car wash for many repairs.

Ever since online slots arrived on the scene in the mid-90s, the genre has grown in leaps and bounds. Not only have thousands more games been created; they have also seen the introduction of a plethora of exciting features.
When Charles Fey invented the first slot machine in the late 19th century, it had 3 reels on which were basic symbols, and any winnings came in the form of hand-outs of one kind or another from the proprietor of whatever establishment in which the machine was installed.
There certainly were a few innovations introduced in the decades that followed, especially after slots were electrified in the mid-20th century. However, things got even more exciting when online slots started being developed, and the excitement has continued.
Ways to Win
Until fairly recently, all slot machines had paylines. Symbols needed to form combinations that matched those on the pay table by appearing from left to right on one or more of the slot's paylines.
Now, however, you can find Ways to Win slots. Such games have done away with traditional paylines, and require symbols to appear on adjacent reels. They may feature 243, 1024, or even 3125 different ways in which symbols can combine.
Random Wild Symbols
Random Wilds were among the first special features to appear in online slots. Like ordinary Wilds, random Wilds can substitute for all other reel symbols except Bonus and Scatter symbols.
However, unlike ordinary Wilds, these symbols only appear on the reels once they have stopped spinning.
Expanding Wild Symbols
If you have ever experienced the power of expanding Wilds, you will know why they are such popular slot innovations. They can also substitute for other reel symbols, but the really exciting part is that, when one lands on a reel, it can expand to fill other positions on the same or on adjacent reels.
This could see you either form a better-paying combination, or land several winning combinations on one spin.
Cascading Reels
Casino software developers such as Microgaming have introduced Cascading Reels in some of their more recent online slots. When you land winning combinations on Cascading Reels, the successful combinations disappear before being replaced with new symbols.
If the new symbols form winning combinations, those will also disappear and be replaced with new symbols, giving you even more chances to win.
These are just a few of the innovative features now part of many top online slots, and there are sure to be more to come in the future.

You may have a bunch of questions that you need answers for... and we're more than happy to talk you through all you need to know. That's our place! And it's what we do best. Give us a call and ask away - in the meantime here a few of our frequently asked questions.
Can I sublet my property?
Subletting is a breach of the tenancy agreement. You must seek permission to add people to your lease. Additional tenants will have to complete our application form and be added to the lease. The landlord may refuse your request if the property is unsuitable for an additional person or the person you are proposing does not meet our eligibility criteria.
I broke a fixture in the property, what do I do?
Don't stress... it happens! If you damage or break something in the property report the issue to your Property Manager. They will be able to assist you and point you in the right direction. Any damages or breaks are repaired or replaced at the tenant's expense.
I'm going on vacation, is there anything I need to do before I leave the house?
If you are going to be gone for a period longer than 14 consecutive days, you will need to notify Place Property Management. This is to ensure that there is no confusion between you being on vacation and possible abandonment of the property.
Can I have pets at the house?
Any pets that will be residing at the home need to be included with your application and would be included within your lease. If you plan to obtain a pet after moving into the property, you need to notify Place Property Management. This needs to be checked with the landlord. If permitted, they will create an addendum to the lease which must be signed and returned prior to the pet residing at the property. You may also be required to submit a pet deposit.
Can I smoke at the house?
All of our properties are non-smoking residences, which is specified in your lease. You have the right to smoke outside your home.
How much notice am I required to give?
In New South Wales if you are on a periodic agreement you are required to provide 3 weeks written notice, if on a fixed term agreement, the required notice is a minimum 2 weeks notice leading up to the expiration of the tenancy agreement.
What costs are involved when I break my lease?
As you are breaking the contract you will be responsible to continuing paying rent until a new tenant is secured. You may also be responsible for paying all advertising costs and a let fee of 1 weeks rent + GST.

Ohio State's wrestling room holds more world championships than some countries. When that's the case, there are bound to be some conflicts.
At least two Buckeyes will be competing internationally during the 2017-18 NCAA season. Senior heavyweight Kyle Snyder announced last week he will be competing in the World Wrestling Clubs Cup in early December and at the Ivan Yarygin Memorial Grand Prix in Russia at the end of January. He also will wrestle Reza Yazdani of Iran and Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia in highly-anticipated matchups in their respective home countries.
The World Wrestling Clubs Cup will take place in Iran on Dec. 7 and 8. Ohio State has a dual meet on Dec. 10 against Indiana. The exact date of the Yarygin tournament in late January is unknown. The Buckeyes will meet Michigan State and Purdue on Jan. 26 and 28, respectively.
Junior Joey McKenna will be competing for the United States' U-23 World Team from Nov. 21 to Nov. 26 in Poland at the United World Wrestling U-23 Championships after qualifying over the weekend. McKenna will be absent for Ohio State's Thanksgiving Throwdown meet against Cleveland State and Kent State on Nov. 21.
Head coach Tom Ryan made it clear that competing internationally not only is allowed at allowed at Ohio State, it's encouraged.
"The objective for us as a staff, and the commitment we have to these student athletes is, we're going to do everything we can to help you improve," Ryan said. "To be the best version of you, and if being the best version of them means that they've got to miss a dual meet to get overseas and wrestle some Russians and Iranians and Turks to help them really uncover what some of their weaknesses might be or lesser strengths, then we're going to do that."
Ryan said wrestling differs from many other NCAA sports, such as football, because losing a couple of dual meets does not "greatly diminish" a team's chances to win national championships in March.
For a special case, such as the Olympic gold medalist and two-time national champion Snyder, competing internationally might be necessary to maintain shape against level competition.
"Instead of having a Kyle Snyder go to a tournament and not get out of the first period, he's better off going to Russia and wrestling some people that can really challenge him in a way that will help him grow," Ryan said.
Snyder competed internationally during the season in 2016 and is familiar with the task at hand. He said Ryan and the coaching staff have been extremely helpful in allowing him to pursue opportunities, and that he enjoys competing internationally when it presents the challenges he needs.
"The NCAA, there's a couple good guys, but internationally there's still some guys that can wrestle pretty hard with me, and I want to compete against them and that's where you learn the most about yourself," Snyder said.
The change in scenery is also accompanied by a change in style. Folkstyle wrestling, which is use in the collegiate arena, is more focused on controlling your opponent. Freestyle wrestling, which is practiced on the international scene, is more focused on exposure points and allows tactics such as locking the hands. Getting experience wrestling freestyle is important for those with professional aspirations, such as Snyder and McKenna.
"I'm excited to wrestle freestyle, as that's what comes after college and that's where the World Championships and the Olympics are," McKenna said. "Obviously that's a main focus for post-collegiate wrestling so it is important to wrestle in those events when I can."
This winter will be the first time McKenna has pulled double duty during a collegiate season. Still sore from successfully qualifying for the U23 Worlds in Poland, the junior is encouraged by what he has seen his teammate accomplish before him.
"Having a guy like Kyle on the team who does wrestle internationally during the season kind of changes the perspective on that," McKenna said. "He's able to do both, so you wonder, why can't I?"

he kills shroedinger's kitten...i guess this answers the eternal question
oh! please excuse my ungeekyness! schroedinger!
wtf!!?? get it right google! schrödinger! (well, the ö sound basically counts as oe, right?)
the oe does mean ö, so don't worry about it, oe is acceptable on an
English keyboard.
Actually, the ö character was derived from oe (as was ä from ae, ü from ue and ß from sz). They used to put the e on top of the o in order to indicate the typical sound (rather than pronouncing it literally as an o and an e). Due to their calligraphy pens the vertical lines of the e became more dominant and the horizontal lines were almost invisible, producing two vertical lines above the o (or the a and u, for that matter). Later people became even more lazy and just wrote dots instead of lines. Bam!
I just read your comment in zoidberg's voice :D
I'm sure you know this but you don't need the axiom of choice to choose an element from an infinite set, only to simultaneously choose elements from an infinite collection of non-empty sets. PS, love your comic.
He kills the cutest one!
AGeekStory's got a point. If cuteness is a well-order on the set of cats, then you don't need the axiom of choice at all.
Giacomo: Yeah, well, that's because the fact that you can have a well-order on every set is equal to the axiom of choice (and Zorn's lemma, while we're at it). If you assume one, you can prove the other.
but it's not. it's not even linearly ordered.
but rn't we considering just one set??..i think the axiom only applies whn there r infinite no of sets..in other words we don't need the axiom for a finite no of sets..god can be so random sometimes!!
Pooky, the axiom can be applied with a finite number of sets, although, it is not required (but can be used anyway).
Disregarding that, look at the monsters... They're not from this earth. That must mean there's an infinite number of planets with kittens in the uni(multi)verse...
Yeah... that must be it... ( ????? )
I'm hoping God doesn't use the axiom of choice, or he could be in an infinite recursion...
Well, it can be proved terminating. Eventually, all cats will be gone :D
I wonder what he kills if I use the generalized continuum hypothesis...
Well here is another prove of god not existing.
Because he couldn't deal with such a problem.
Only if you accept the premises. God would not kill an innocent, fuzzy, cute little kitten just because you act in a certain way.
Shouldn't you be working on your dissertation?
All done. It was sent to the external yesterday :P
German? :)
I've felt that there is somethin wrong about Axiom of choice. Thanks for opening my eyes ⌠›;
I always had a feeling domo kun could double as the angle of death
Which one does he kill? Hmm... Well let's find out. Someone do an axiom of choice.
In ZFC, a cat is a set.
Awesome comment! ZFC FTW!
Kittens form a finite set. Thus, arrange kittens by measure. There exists a kitten with maximal measure. This is the chosen one.

Villefranche-sur-Saône, France
Member since2007
|Exchange dates
|January 13, 2019 - November 30, 2019
|2 weeks
We are flexible.
1 story house in VILLEFRANCHE SUR SAÔNE, near the Beaujolais hills and Lyon, France
Our house was built in 1996. It's a pleasant house to live in as it is surrounded by a garden and is a ten minutes' walk to the city centre where there are some French Renaissance houses, good restaurants and busy cafés.
We have a washing-machine, a computer with an Internet connexion and the wi-fi, but we don't have a television, and we don't have a dishwasher. Intervac partners say they've enjoyed the peace and quiet here.
Villefranche is called the capital of Beaujolais. It is a market town of 40,000 inhabitants, with all sorts of nice shops in a picturesque 1-km long main street. It is also famous for its fruit and vegetable covered market, which takes place 5 times a week in the morning. On Saturday there's also an organic market outside.
If you like browsing second-hand shops, there's a big and well-organised store round the corner, selling all manner of recycled goods : furniture, bric-a-brac, records, toys, books, clothes... The goods are sold to help provide for those who need it.
It is closed in August though, however there is another one about 3 km away.
In the Beaujolais hills you can taste Beaujolais wine of course, but also go cycling on quiet roads leading to golden stone villages, and go walking on easy footpaths. The river Saône valley is quite near too. A little further east, the area of the Dombes is full of fishponds and lakes ( 1000 they say !) with a lot of birds. The restaurants there have a reputation for gastronomy.
If you're interested in Christian religion, Ars, the village of St Jean-Marie Vianney, the patron saint of catholic priests, is only 8km from Villefranche.

Waffles on mind?..Coffee by Di Bella is the answer! Coffee by Di Bella probably was the brand that introduced Mumbaikars to 'WAFFLE CULTURE' and started the 'WAFFLE CAFE' concept.Though now there are lot of cafes serving waffles as well as waffle houses throughout Mumbai.But few years back Coffee by Di Bella was the only chain that served variety of waffles.Their first outlet was in Bandra and youth use to travel from all over Mumbai to visit this cafe including us! Waffle was like the 'COOL DESSERT' then. Now Coffee by Di Bella has total 16 outlets all over mumbai.It started of as cafe with variety of caffeinated and non caffeinated beverages, ofcourse waffles along with other desserts and quick bites but now it's more like a cafe cum restaurant serving delicious Italian dishes as well.Over the years we have visited lot of cafes and dessert parlours but Coffee By Di Bella is straight away our all time favourite among the whole lot!
Giving you a heads up for the waiting as this place is packed most of the days. We feel its one those places which is apt for both formal and informal meetings. The way we are raving about Cafe By Di Bella, you would have guessed that we would have visited multiple outlets of Coffee by Di Bella multiple times by now! Haha and yesss thats right, we actually have! ? …will tell you what we liked Coffe By Di Bella.
- Affogato: 4.8/5
Are you an espresso lover?…If Yes, then Affogato is going to be on your list of favourite dessert for sure! It's on ours already! affogato (Italian for "drowned") is an Italian coffee-based dessert. Its basically a scoop of vanilla topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso. Sounds ordinary but wait until you taste it!
2. Strawberry Nutella Waffle : 5/5
One of the best waffles at Coffee by Di Bella we think is strawberry nutella waffle.Strawberrry and Nutella is a proven delectable combo and with waffles it's just gastronomically perfect!
3. Lasagna : 4.5/5
We have tried several quick bites and their italian menu as well here and we found most of them below average, but lasagna is an exception! Tangy delicious sauce in between the perfectly cooked layers of pasta and the saucy red goodness with some grated and molten cheese to finish it off!
4. Ferrero Rocher Shake : 4.8/5
Shoutout to all Ferrero Rocher lovers….you guys will love it. Hazel nutty, Ferrero Rochererry deliciousness! We've had Ferrero Rocher shake else where too and we found that it gets too sweet to finish the whole damn thing. But this one is just perfect!
5. Toblerone Shake: 3.5/5
Being Toblerone lovers we were quite excited to see Toblerone shake on the menu. This one didn't impress us like the other shakes here. We felt they could have been more generous with the Toblerone bites and the cream.We asked them to do just that the next time we visited the cafe and they did comply to quite an extent!
You guysssss… If you are in Mumbai, don't miss this place! A big thumbs up from us! ?
Happy Nomm Nomm!??

Is a library competent? Not really, library staff are competent and the subject of Competencies in the library is of great importance for leaders and for members of staff.
Every organization wants competent staff, who are able to solve many different tasks, and who together possess the necesary competencies.
Whichever professional occupation you are involved in, there will be certain conditions applicable to just that type of organization, and this certainly holds true also in the library field.
This issue of Scandinavian Library Quarterly gives an insight into how diverse and far-reaching the library's tasks are, and how many different competencies are in fact required for working in a library now and in the future.
Specialist or generalist?
Throughout the years, discussions have been going on about whether staff should by subject-specific library trained, supplemented with other professional competences, or generalists, whose professional capabilities were supplemented with in-house training targeted the individual type of library institution based on local needs, whether it be a public or a research library.
This discussion is still going on, and this issue offers contributions from the Norwegian and the Danish Library Unions, who argue that competencies should be based on the public's needs and that these vary from library to library.
Many libraries are fully aware that the educational background is one thing, and that the exact competencies might well be something else, and consideration as to a new recruitment will be a match between formal education, experience and personal competencies as well as the more indefinable factor, which we in Denmark call chemistry between candidate and work place.
New challenges
Most of us learn that what we originally trained as has changed considerably, and the libraries, which previously focused particularly on collections: building, registration and purchase, have now be allotted new roles – not least due to the technological development, where libraries were very quick to embrace IT and also train the citizens to be able to manage in a digital world.
At the moment, discussions are going on as to how the libraries will tackle the task of learning, and where the borderline is drawn in relation to for example guidance, which has been a regular library task. Just how far should the libraries go? What about the interplay with the educational institutions?
New competencies to future users
In the future, too, the role of library staff will change and new competencies will be in demand. This is reflected in the tasks, functions and titles of the staff: librarian, information communicator, project manager, event maker, information broker etc.
Consequently, competence development will be an essential element in the development of the libraries. Whether the staff 's present and future competencies are acquired via formal education and/or experience is perhaps not all that important – the crucial point is that the libraries continue to educate their staff, so that they are prepared to meet the users' needs whatever type of institution.

So, woah, that was a quick one. I went from 9 days of spotting and 12 days of gut wrenching pain in Cycle 18 to one day of spotting, one heavier day of spotting with red stuff to BAM!! full on period. So, here I am at CD 1 (or 2) in Cycle 20. I'm counting this as CD 1 because it makes all this taking the med stuff more clear since I'm now officially starting ovarian stimulation.
I go for a baseline ultrasound tomorrow. Hello, Wandy! I've had those before when I had a dermoid cyst. They made me feel like a boat and the sonographer was the one controlling the rudder — and man, was she making some sharp turns. They're not terribly fun, but they're not painful.
Then it's Clomid on Wednesday to Sunday, Bravelle on Monday to Wednesday, then another ultrasound, and a trigger shot. It's started! Holy Moly, finally, something's started.
Oh, still on Atkins and hating it. All I want is chips, lots and lots of chips. Salsa and chips, chips and cheese, sour cream and onion chips, BBQ chips… just chips. Instead, I guess I'll have another slice of chicken. Bleh.

While Botswana has a reputation for being expensive - and it's true that the most luxurious lodges are not cheap - you do get what you pay for. Privacy, exclusivity, king-sized beds, bathrooms with bathtubs, outdoor showers, private plunge pools, and all in a pristine environment with the wildlife all around you.
The luxury touches don't stop there. If you're in the Okavango Delta and your lodge is near a permanent water area you can enjoy water activities all year round.
To be poled along through the lily and reed in a traditional Mokoro (a dug-out canoe) with a bottle of champagne and a picnic is one of the most relaxing ways to explore the waterways and see the wildlife.
At night, relaxing over drinks on the outdoor deck is a wonderful place in which to sit around the fire and gaze up at the stars. Your whole camp will reverberate with the sound of reed frogs and hippos.
The service and standard of food in the most luxurious lodges are superb.
Start planning your luxury Botswana safari
Luxury camps and lodges in Botswana
Xudum Delta Lodge
Set in its own concession on an isolated delta island, Xudum provides a luxurious retreat to return to after wildlife viewing in the bush, offering nine split-level suites and an interactive kitchen.
Chief's Camp
Located on Chief's Island, one of the Delta's richest game areas, you can frequently view game without even leaving camp. Shaded from the heat of the day by a beautiful grove of trees, Chief's Camp is so remote you'll feel like the only person for miles.
Jao Camp
Small and strikingly stylish, Jao Camp offers both land and water-based activities directly from its idyllic location in the heart of the Okavango Delta.

I don't bother with New Year's Eve these days. Gone are the wild parties of my disaffected youth, the conga has drawn to a halt, there is no more kissing of strangers or midnight choirs, just a glass of pseudo champers and an early night. Do I sound like a champion party pooper? The truth is that I am just eager for the new year to begin. After the black hole (albeit a pleasant one) of pre-Christmas, real Christmas, post-Christmas and "anyone any idea what day it is?"mas I am eager to get going with this 2015 malarkey. Ready to experience all those adventures lurking around the corner. Ready to face whatever challenges this new year will bring. So today, on the first day of 2015, I wish you the same as I wish myself – may we get what we deserve and may we deserve what we get. Be brave and kind and a bit daft, listen to others, notice the small things. And when things go wrong, as they undoubtedly will, I wish you strength and humour and a good friend to share the burden. Oh, and most importantly, whenever possible fit in a sneaky cartwheel. Happy New Year!

Well said missus….my thoughts exactly..after nearly a week of not really being outside I'm itching to get going!! Happy New year to you and him indoors. See you soon I hope xx
Happy New Year to you too. Hope to catch up soon and in the meantime I'm perfecting my mini-cartwheel!
Happy New Year to the two of you, I hope it turns out to be as interesting as you expect.
BTW my green bin is already full but cartwheels-forget it.

I wanted you all to get a chance to meet the hosts for the last straw bale workshop of the year. Beau and Stefanie are an amazing young couple with a growing family and a love for the visual arts (read photography and video work). I met them a couple years ago at the Austin, TX workshop and knew right away that I wanted to work with them. They're a ton of fun, and inspiring people. To help you get to know them a little better, I've asked them to share some thoughts on their project and themselves below.
We have a few more spots left in the workshop if you want to join us. I know it's going to be an amazing week, and as the last hurrah of the year, it will likely be a heck of a good time. Bring your instruments, your humor, your life stories, and your desire to have fun, and meet us in Oklahoma! Here's what they had to say about their project…
When we thought about building our house, we considered a lot of different details. In the end, we loved the idea of being teased about the three little pigs for the rest of our lives. That and building with alternative building materials. When reading about building earthen ovens, we started reading about cob construction, and straw bale construction shortly thereafter. We loved the philosophy of both techniques, but straw bale seemed to be the most viable and appropriate for our climate.
Much time and effort has been put into the property. When we first purchased it 2.5 years ago, it was nothing but 20 acres of thick trees and poison ivy. The trees were all so over crowded that nothing was really thriving. Since then we've cleared out three main areas: The farm, the homesite, and the nature trails. We are taking great strides to pursue principles of permaculture in everything we do. That is, using the natural flow of the elements in order to produce things in harmony with one another. We hope to use the property as an example to educate people on the benefits of these principles, though we're still rolling around ideas.
While building with young children has certainly had it's challenges, we're very grateful that our oldest, Oliver, is getting to experience this with us. He's 4 years old now, so he was only 18 months when we started this adventure which is mind blowing. Our 6-month old daughter, Violet, is obviously way too young for her to remember this time, but she is THE PERFECT BABY for this time in our lives. She's remarkably chill, which has made dealing with some of the more challenging aspects of this process a little easier. Want to meet our kids too? Come to Choctaw to help us build and we'll be happy to give you the full family tour!
Unfortunately the majority of the work we've done on our home has been in the planning and logistical aspects. The original dream was to learn how to build this home ourselves, but the need for full time work and an expanding family put a fire under our butts. We're working with a builder who is overseeing the entire build process. That's not to say we haven't had an incredible amount of help from family and friends in this process. Simply put, we could not have done this on our own and we are so excited to welcome all of the participants to our workshop in the coming weeks. Having participated in a workshop a couple years back, we are thrilled to be on "the other side" of the equation this time around, as hosts!
Andrew asked us to share what we'v learned most about in the journey so far. Soooo, what we've learned most about hammers…oh wait. Seriously though, we've been tested just about every step of the way on this journey. We've learned that we're strong enough to get through the setbacks. We get EACH OTHER through the setbacks. Our families have incredible patience, as do our friends. We've also learned that we probably owe a lot of favors to a lot of people, and will have to have an epic house warming party once we're ready. The true journey is not so much the house construction, but the life lessons that have come, and continue to come, with it.
If we could be so brave as to offer a thought of inspiration for the next person considering building their own home, we would say this: There will be immense challenges. There were times we thought we were going to have to pull the plug. We could have easily given up, but we put our heads together and figured it out. Find your grit and get through the tough times, as there will likely be many. The experience of overcoming those roadblocks has been worth every stress along the way. We have grown as people and we have learned new skills on the construction site too!
We would also recommend that you hire an architect who understands the modern techniques of straw bale construction. There have been changes in the industry and convincing our architect to draw the modern systems that Andrew uses in his workshops took extra effort and time. Don't get me wrong, we love our house and are very happy with the layout, but it was extremely time consuming getting the plans adjusted to be more along the lines of modern straw bale building techniques.
When we went to Austin to discover whether or not we would want to pursue this for ourselves, we realized something bigger than that question. We'd read the articles, watched the videos, bought the books, but didn't have any hands-on experience. From the moment we arrived and saw the frame of the house we were going to build, it just felt right.
As hot as it was in Austin that summer, we left knowing that we were going to host a workshop of our own. It was excellent working as a team. We met people that we still keep in touch with today (some will even be visiting during our workshop)! It was empowering. Learning all of the new skills and actually applying them to a real build was an incredibly gratifying experience.
We want to share that experience with others, and that's why we strongly encourage people to attend our workshop in Choctaw, Oklahoma. It will change your life. I know that sounds crazy, but as Andrew has said before, "it's SO much more than a workshop". It's truly a life experience.
One thing we'd like to add is that we went into this expecting to be turned down by bank after bank, and to have to come up with some kind of clever way to hide the fact we were building with straw bales in order to get a permit. We experienced none of that. We not only found financing at the second bank we spoke to, we received our building permit with zero issues relating to the bales. Our plans had straw bales written all over them, and not one word was mentioned by the permitting department. That's not only a victory for us, that's a victory for straw bale construction.
We are so excited for our workshop and we hope you will join us. As we said above, its so much more than a workshop. Come learn about bales, construction, life, and friendship. You'll be so glad you came. We can say that from experience! If you want to learn more about the project or if you want to sign up, you can click here to do so. See you next month in Choctaw!

I know you said before that you do not do houses in the Dominican Republic, but could you not send out an email, and find out if we could get enough of an interest to do a strawbale house in the DR? please, pretty please. We could do it in late January early February during their drier season. Also I think some people would welcome a vacation away in the winter.
Andrew Morrison Fri, November 3, 2017 at 11:12 am #
Hi Rae. I can always ask. 🙂 The 2018 season is already booked though, so I can't add it in at this point, even if we have the interest necessary for a workshop. Sorry for the continued "Debbie Downer" response…

In July, I visited my friend Jenn in NYC for a weekend. Among other things, we visited the Harry Potter Exhibition. If you are a fan of the movies, it is well done and worth seeing.
My favorite part? I picked up a Time-Turner for myself!
Yes, the sand really moves. As of right now, it doesn't actually turn time. But, being a Muggle, it's possible I just don't know how to harness it.

Tom Trigg is the superintendent of Kansas' Blue Valley school system—and an ambassador between two worlds.
The first world is his 22,000-student system, a high-performing district located in the suburbs southwest of Kansas City, Mo. The other is the surrounding business community, which Mr. Trigg and other district officials have courted and counted on to support the Center for Advanced Professional Studies, a program he helped found that introduces students to careers in the fields of law, bioscience, engineering, and many other areas—and is now being replicated in districts around the country.
The program allows students from the district's five high schools to spend a portion of their days at the CAPS campus, taking classes that are designed and continually modified to reflect shifting industry standards.
Mr. Trigg, along with others in the district, helped shape the program and now promotes it among employers, as well as parents and others outside the district.
As they have built CAPS, Blue Valley officials have gone to companies with "a different pitch than I suppose what businesses are used to," Mr. Trigg said. "We didn't ask them for money. We said, 'We've got this idea. Would you share with us your human capital? Would you be willing to provide your employees to help us put this program together?'"

Overall good except the water in the jacuzzi
Overall good but there were some things not functioning or broken. The biggest disappointing was that the jacuzzi was not in a usable condition because of the water.
Dear Lars, we are happy that you enjoyed your time but we are really sorry to hear that you were disappointed. We have a service company which does the pool service after every departure. The next time please let us know about any problems directly so we can solve anything immidiately. Our highest priority is to make a great holiday possible for you.
All the best and we looking forward to welcome you again.

Some years ago I created and ran the "Reading Archives" blog. You can find this older blog at http://readingarchives.blogspot.com/. Its purpose was stated as follows: "With this blog, I am planning to offer, as regularly as possible, critical observations on the scholarly and popular literature analyzing the nature of archives or contributing to our understanding of archives in society. I am not planning to comment on basic practice manuals, technical guides, or best practice reports; these I will continue to describe in my monthly column published in the Records & Information Management Report, a technical report I edit and that is published by M.E. Sharpe. I hope this blog will be of assistance to anyone, especially faculty and graduate students, interested in understanding archives and their importance to society. I hope readers will comment on the postings, suggesting different perspectives or reflecting on other publications related to the specific topic or the broader importance of archives in society. I plan on making postings, from time to time, reflecting my own research and writing or recommending areas and topics that seem ripe for new research. As part of this, I intend to comment occasionally on the work that my own doctoral students are engaged in."
My earlier blog lasted about two and a half years, before I ended it and turned my attention to other projects and responsibilities; my reasons for terminating this blog were complicated and I may comment on them in future postings. A lot has changed for me since I worked on that blog. I no longer edit the Records & Information Management Report or any other serial publication. With this new blog I am expanding its focus to concentrate on two of my primary research and teaching areas, 1) archives, in all of its facets from theory and knowledge to the history of archives and recordkeeping and 2) the university in society and the place of professional education in the university. Both of these broad areas are showing interesting new research and publications with implications for the archival profession and faculty at all levels. Hopefully this blog will be of use to many of my colleagues and students. It will be of use to me as I continue reading and reflecting on my life and career as an archival scholar and faculty member.

I feel like I did when I was younger when I would go away for the summer and get back to school - but the break this time seems 3 times as long and much further froim all my friends as I sat here reading a some entries.
OK, this will need to be delayed - as usal, lol. I have stuff I want to get out, but I'm too distracted currently. It'll be much easier when I get back from visiting a friend in Spain and my apartment is basically done (the construction that is).
I will say this - I am excited for the upcoming semester and all my classes, especially since I will not be dieing from all the work as I was last semester. I am also looking forward to actually seeing some friends in person, relaxing.
If I can get my camera working, I'll have pictures from Spain when I get back and I'll put a link up to the pictures from Florida and some comments from the trip.
I've gone through some interesting - to say it simply - stuff. Anyways, more later :)
I hope all is wonderful

Just a little something I whipped up on Tuesday for lunch, this tataki roll exceeded my expectations. It's like bite-size beef carpaccio rolled around fresh salad that you eat with your fingers.
I took some beef tri-tip roast and cut from it a log about three inches in diameter and six inches long, making sure the grain ran lengthwise. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and sauteed it in a little peanut oil until it was just seared and brown on all sides. I chilled the log in the fridge until it was cold and firm and then cut slices about 1/8 inch thick with a very sharp slicing knife. Between two pieces of plastic I pounded out the pieces until they were even thinner but not falling apart. I stored these slices between small sheets of wax paper until I was ready to serve it.
|Well-marbled, barely-cooked beef with herbs and ponzu.
I made a very simple dressing of 2 tablespoons ponzu sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of salt, some cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger.
I then took a handful of micro arugula, a handful of micro cilantro, and a little very thinly sliced iceberg lettuce and mixed it together gingerly. You could certainly make this with regular arugula and cilantro, but you'd have to thinly slice it to get a similar mouth-feel.
I laid out the beef slices and put a little cluster of the salad mixture into the middle in a clumpy sort of line. I rolled the beef up gently until I had some "cigars" of beef with salad inside. I cut these in half and put them on a plate. I drizzled the dressing over the top and garnished with some scallions greens.
It was delicious and refreshing. And it's a lot easier than you think to make this elegant and healthy little appetizer.

Distance: 15.3 miles
Time: 6.75 hours (incl stops)
Weather: Perfect winter conditions, sub-zero, no clouds
Munros Attempted: Beinn Fhada
Munros Summited: None Route: View on OS Maps
Another perfect morning in Kintail: the air icy and cold and the sky already a deep shade of blue as I ate my breakfast. The surface of Loch Duich was ruffled only by a pair of herons as I walked briskly along the side of the A87 to the turn off at Allt a' chruinn. Sgurr an Airgid was delighting in the feel of the morning sunlight on its snow-speckled upper reaches.
Strath Croe had a typical Sunday morning feel to it and only a couple of four-wheel drives passed me as I turned up towards the Activity Centre, clearly not active all year round. The views onto the notched ridge of Beinn Fhada, and the more gentle A' Ghlas-bheinn were stunning. From here I followed a track close by the Rive Croe until it crossed a bridge by Innis a Chrotha (NG 969 211). It wasn't clear exactly where the track went as it passed by farm buildings but it was clear that I took a wrong turn as I ended up on boggy ground close by the river and on the wrong side of a large deer fence. With only a couple of cows to witness I clambered over the fence and found the actual track just metres away.
It was now a case of following this well made track on into the wilder regions. Ahead lay A' Ghlas-bheinn. I skirted the base of Beinn Bhuide, the northernmost part of Beinn Fhada. A couple of kilometres on I glimpsed through the trees a couple of cars parked at the Falls of Glomach car park. The path now turned right into the depths of Gleann Choinneachain, hidden from the low winter sun by steep mountains on all sides. The path here is excellent, and I steadily gained height as the slopes of A' Ghlas-bheinn passed on my left. Ahead I could see Meall a' Bhealaich and to the left the Bealach an Sgairne which carries a right of way through to Glen Affric.
Ahead of me on the path was a solitary figure. I eventually caught them up at the crossing of the Allt Coire an Sgairne (NH 003 212) which came tumbling down in a series of impressive falls from Beinn Fhada's northern corrie. The river was wide and fairly swift but the main problem was the sub-zero temperature which meant any exposed wet rock was like an ice cube. Following the advice of the person, who had already crossed, and with the aid of my pole I semi-waded, half-danced across and paused for breath and a chat on the far side. The chap was heading to A' Ghlas-bheinn.
From here the path climbed in a series of wide zig-zags, heading towards the pass. At a small cairn (NH 007 213) a track forked off to the right and I took this, heading for Beinn Fhada's northern corrie. Although the path lower down had some treacherous stretches of ice it was on this section that I met the first snow. It was deep and well consolidated though gave good purchase on the axe which had now replaced pole. A set of prints were seen coming down the track and these made the whole thing a lot easier as I could use these where deep enough, or enlarge them with my axe if necassary. In this way a lot of step-cutting time was saved.
I was soon enough in the impressive surroundings of Coire an Sgairne with jagged peaks to my right and the headwall of dark cliffs to the south. The stalkers track continued to give up a good route and was largely snow-free until I reached the final steep pull to the ridge. At this point I left the track and headed more or less directly up, using lines of turf and rock to scramble up. This tactic paid off until I got within ten meters or so of the summit at which point the snow was unbreached. The ice axe was now used to cut a series of steps up the incline until, with much relief, I reached the top (NH 011 202).
It was well worth the effort, the views were spectacular and the sky still carried not a shred of cloud. As I stood catching my breath, and buttoning up against the wind I heard a cheerful "hello". Two guys were coming nonchalantly down the snow slopes from the summit. They reported excelent views from the top though had doubts of my ability to step-cut all the way. Crampons would have been brilliant at this point but I didn't have them (it's a long story!).
Instead I repeated the previous tactic, keeping close to the broken edges of the west rim of the mountain, I scrmabled my way up to the 930m point. Here, unfortunately my way was barred by a vast snow slope, unbroken and disappearing up over a false summit (NH 014 196). Concious of the time of day and my energy levels I decided that the mountain had won this time and that I wasn't going to step cut up. I took a few photos, admired the view for a while and then started my descent.
The views all around were superb. Immediately below I could see the Loch a Bhealaich. To my west Glen Affric stood. South the jagged tops of the Five Sisters just peered over the summit plateau. That plateau, the Plaide Mor, stretched around, covered in shimmering white snow, to the magnificent peak of Sgurr a Choire, which has a very Alpine flavour. North I could see the Torridon Peaks, away beyond the bumps of A' Ghlas-bheinn.
The tactical retreat was easier than I expected, taking the same line down the first steep part of the descent until I regained the track in the coire. Here I sheltered behind a large boulder and ate lunch, enjoying the views down Gleann Choinneachain to Beinn Bhreac. I then followed the stalkers path back down to the fork. The snow slopes going down were no worse than they'd been going up, and the work I'd done enlarging steps made it all pass by quickly and securely.
With plenty of time to spare I enjoyed a more casual walk back, crossing across the Abhainn Chonaig near the Glomach car park (NG 982 223) and talking a line down the other side of Strath Croe. In the low winter sunshine it looked idylic. There were deer and sheep grazing on the lower slopes of Sgurr an Airgid and the waters of Loch Duich shone.
I returned to the hotel at around 3:30 for a well deserved bottle of Red Cuillin and a feeling of satisfaction despite not having summited. With crampons this climb would have been much less dramatic and safer but I kept within my ability and turned back before I could get myself into a difficult situation.

The Last Kind Words by Tom Piccirilli
Publisher: Random House/June, 2012
Raised to pick a pocket before he could walk, Terry Rand cut free from his family after his older brother, Collie, went on a senseless killing spree that left eight dead. Five years later, only days before his scheduled execution, Collie contacts Terry and asks him to return home. Collie claims he wasn't responsible for one of the murders—and insists that the real killer is still on the loose.
Dogged by his own demons, Terry is swept back into the schemes and scams of his family: His father, Pinsch, a retired cat burglar, brokenhearted because of his two sons. His card-sharp uncles, Mal and Grey, who've incurred the anger of the local mob. His grandfather, Shep, whose mind is failing but whose fingers can still slip out a wallet from across the room. His teenage sister, Dale, who's flirting dangerously with the lure of the family business. And Kimmie, the woman Terry abandoned, who's now raising a child with Terry's former best friend.
Terry pieces together the day his brother turned rabid, delving into a blood history that reveals the Rand family tree is rotten to the roots, and the secrets his ancestors buried are now coming furious and vengeful to the surface.
Terry Rand hasn't seen his family for 5 years, but the impending execution of his brother Collie has brought him home. He thought that living under an assumed name and losing himself in the labor of tending to a sprawling ranch would give him the peace he desperately wanted, but he was so wrong. His family is shattered after the killing spree perpetrated by his brother that left eight dead, including a family of 5 and a little girl. After all, the Rands aren't killers, they're thieves, and the why of Collie's rampage is still a mystery, and Collie certainly isn't shedding any light on it himself. He didn't call Terry back to tell him why he killed eight people, though. In fact, he claims that the young woman that was strangled and attributed to him wasn't actually his doing, and he wants Terry to find out who it was, before anyone else dies. What made Collie go so deep down into the underneath, and can Terry find out without destroying his family any further?
Terry's homecoming has stirred up all kinds of new trouble, not to mention the trouble that had already infiltrated his family. His grandfather is sinking further and further into Alzheimers (and possibly his uncles), his 15 yr old sister is dating a much older guy (who "smelled of oil, acne ointment, and second-rate pot") that his parents strongly disapprove of, and the only woman he's ever loved is now married to his former best friend. Then there's the other crime family that's got their eyes and ears on him, and they're not a peace loving clan like the Rands. There's also a nosy cop (and family friend) sniffing around, looking for his own particular brand of trouble. Things are slowly crumbling, amidst this eccentric family, and Collie seems to be at the center, but there are plenty of skeletons in this family's rather deep closets. When the body count starts to rise again, and is unmistakably connected to the girl that Collie claims he didn't kill
This isn't just a murder mystery, it's a book about a brother's love, a son's love for his family, and the ties that bind us together. The gritty, nourish undertones only serve to highlight the prose that always hovers right at the edge of desperation, as Terry's voice carries us through his own self discovery, and his struggle to understand his relationship with his brother and how things could have gone so, so wrong in one long, dark night. Terry is terrified of someday becoming his brother, or succumbing to the disease that seems to be eating his family from the inside out, and his search for answers is eating him alive. Throughout this book, I kept hoping that Collie was innocent, that he didn't cold bloodedly kill eight people, but he did. All except for one. The race for the true killer is only one of the reasons you'll be up late reading this. Terry Rand and his dysfunctional family are nothing short of fascinating, yet for all of the dysfunction, their love for each other is fierce and true, and the explosive climax will test that love to the limits. The Last Kind Words will keep you up late, horrify you, and break your heart, and you'll still want more. Don't miss this one!

Climate's Not Going to Communicate itself. Tips for Effective Comms
January 30, 2018
New handbook on climate communication from the IPCC has been released.
It follows the basic principles that those on the front lines have worked out over the past few decades.
- Be Confident – people will trust you more if you use an authentic voice
- Talk about the real world, not abstractions
- Connect with what matters to your audience
- Tell a human scale story – show the human face of science – your own story, perhaps
- Lead with the knowns, not the uncertainty
- Use effective visual communication – focus on the human side of the equation
The greatest advances have not been on the science, but on how we get the mass of people to understand it – see experts weigh in below.
Below, a few years ago, John Cook asked leading scientists to give their best "Elevator Pitch" on climate. They generally incorporate some best practices.

Former Green Bay star point guard Keifer Sykes was one of about forty NBA D-League prospects chosen to participate in the 7th annual Elite Mini Camp in Chicago this week.
The camp provides an opportunity for D-League players to showcase their talents for NBA scouts in town ahead of the annual NBA Draft combine in hopes of landing a spot on an NBA Summer League and/or training camp roster this fall.
The minicamp puts prospects through agility tests, drills, and takes measurables – much like the Draft Combine – as well as four 5 on 5 scrimmages for players to showcase their talents to the scouts in attendance.
Sykes was the 3rd smallest player at the two day event – measuring 5'10" without shoes – but still showed he has the ability to jump out of the gym. He had the 2nd best no-step vertical (34") and max vertical (40.5") behind only former Iona star Ra'shad James in both categories.
In the live scrimmage portion, Sykes averaged 13.0 points, 1.8 assists, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in the four games, including leading his team with 18 points in the opening game, a 91-86 victory.
He shot 15/25 (60.0%) from the floor in the four games and an impressive 22/24 (91.7%) from the free throw line, including 10/11 in the game 1 win. His team finished 2-2.
Sykes recently finished his first season of professional basketball with the Austin Spurs, the D-League affiliate of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. Appearing in all 50 regular season games (37 games started), he averaged 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game in 31.0 minutes per game while shooting 44.6% from the floor and 31.5% from beyond the arc.
In the playoffs, Sykes led Austin to a 2-1 opening round series win against Rio Grande Valley, including a 31 point performance in the game 3 victory to clinch the series. He averaged 18.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 36.0 minutes in 6 playoff games this season.
Sykes played last summer in the NBA's Las Vegas Summer League with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization before joining the San Antonio Spurs for training camp. He was cut by the Spurs but decided to stay in the organization, signing with Austin last October.
This year's summer league takes place from July 8th through the 18th.
One of the greatest players in Green Bay program history, Sykes finished his collegiate career with 2,096 points – 2nd behind only current Virginia coach Tony Bennett. He averaged 16.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game as a four year starter for the Phoenix. He was named the Horizon League Player of the Year in each of his final two seasons.
