Top-quality products on show at prestigious forum
Minsk hosts 19th International Prodexpo-2013, with tasty samples on hand
By Yuri Chernyakevich
More than 200 companies from around the world took part in the prestigious international forum this year, with stands full of bakery and confectionery, meat and dairy products, as well as production and shop equipment for the food industry. Visitors could evaluate quality not only by eye but through organised tastings.
Among the meat pavilions was Vitebsk Meat Packing Plant's stand, manned by Lyudmila Ivolgina. She explains that most of their output is sold in Minsk but that various suburbs have quite different tastes, with some preferring smoked products and others summer sausage. "Participation in the exhibition is very useful for us, as we learn about demand and can seek out new partners," she admits.
The meat section was well-represented, with each participant trying to surprise visitors. Minsk Meat Packing Plant featured a violin made of sausage while Bobruisk Meat Processing Plant featured a 'sausage armchair'.
Belarusian dairy stands attracted huge numbers of visitors, including those from Moscow. The latter commented enthusiastically on the quality of Belarusian milk, sour cream and cottage cheese. I'm confident that the produce under the 'made in Belarus' brand also seems to be warmly accepted across other Russian regions, thanks to high-quality products gaining a good reputation. Our niche on the Russian market appears to be permanent.
Slutsk Cheese Factory, about to launch new labelling and packaging, is one of the country's major players in the food industry. An aggressive marketing policy is also in the pipeline, explains marketing specialist Irina Samusevich. She tells us, "We plan to update our range of cheeses, which currently includes 'Parmesan Gold' and 'Tyzengauz' — the most expensive. We've been producing mozzarella for pizza for a long time and are working on blue cheeses now, as well as those made from goats' milk (a niche yet to be explored in Belarus). From spring, we plan to be selling goat's cheese and goat's yoghurt in shops: all very healthy!" she declares.
Following your nose brought you to the chocolate stands of OJSC 'Kommunarka' and 'Spartak', where the selection was huge. It was hard to know where to look first! With attractive new packaging and dozens of tasty novelties for New Year and the World Ice Hockey Championship, the stands were a dazzling sight. I particularly liked the '3D book' from 'Spartak': a children's gift box.
Prodexpo-2013, hosted by the Football Manege in Minsk, gathered thousands of visitors: all eager to evaluate the quality of the goods on show. Of course, the trade fair's main objective was not promotion for its own sake, but to sign profitable contracts for 2014. At last year's forum, about 20,000 contracts for delivery were signed; this year may have seen even more.
According to Vasily Pavlovsky, Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Food, Belarus aims to increase agro-exports to $7 billion by 2015. These seem ambitious plans, especially as 2012 brought about $5 billion of sales. However, Mr. Pavlovsky emphasises that 2013 should see at least $6 billion in agro-revenue. By building on existing markets and entering into new ones, the target is achievable.

Glass Shower Maintenance Tips
Adding a glass shower or shower doors to your bathroom is a wonderful way to add style and beauty to the room, but when the glass is dirty or covered in soap scum, even the most elegant shower can be an eyesore. While there are a number of products that are great for cleaning glass, tiles, and the metal accessories found in most showers, we thought it would be nice to help our customers keep their showers clean by offering some tips and tricks that we've picked up on shower maintenance over the years.
Using Common Household Products
- Cleaning Your Shower With Vinegar:
- Did you know that while some cleaning products can kill bacteria and remove soap scum from your shower, not all of them will get rid of mold? Cleaning with distilled white vinegar is a great way to ensure your shower is left mold free. Using a rag, just wipe down the shower glass, door, and hardware with undiluted white vinegar to eradicate mold and mildew.
- Cleaning Shower Glass With Vinegar:
- White vinegar also works wonders removing scum from the glass walls and shower doors. If the glass is dry, wet it using regular water and then take a small squeegee and clear the water from the glass. After that, use a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar and cover the area you wish to clean. Now just spray it clean with regular water to remove hard water deposits and minimize their chance to stain the glass.
- Removing Tough Stains With Baking Soda:
- Use baking soda with a little tap water to make a "runny paste" and apply it on a cleaning cloth or sponge. Use this concoction along with some elbow grease to remove tough hard water stains and other grime including mildew buildups on faucets and on tile.
In addition to products you can usually find lying around the home, there are also some interesting commercial products available that work well... even if they weren't intended to clean a shower:
Using "Other" Products
- Pre-Cleaning With Bounce Fabric Softener:
- Believe it or not, Bounce Brand, and other fabric softener can also remove soft soap scum build-up and even loosen other stains and build up that would otherwise be hard to remove. Take a sheet of fabric softener to the dry glass and scrub. This will loosen tough buildup and remove the lighter stains. Then take some tap water and your trusty squeegee or even the vinegar solution explained above.
- WD-40 Does That Too?
- WD-40 is man's best friend. It scores right up there with action movies, duct tape, and bacon, but did you know that you can also use it to clean the glass in your shower? Christine Argier, an eHow contributing writer advises to use it for cleaning your shower doors. She says to spray generously on the inside and outside of the door and you can spray both dry and wet glass. Wipe it away with a clean dry towel to remove dirt, soap scum, calcium deposits and more.

France - Rwanda: now is the time
During his first visit to France since the 1994 genocide Rwandan President Paul Kagame repeated his will to "move forward", to "overcome past disputes" and enter without delay into the second phase of reconciliation.
Kagame's three day visit to Paris, from the 11th to the 13th September, would surely not be enough to overcome the strained relations that have existed since 1994 - Rwanda has always maintained allegations of French complicity in the genocide. Kigali broke off diplomatic ties in 2006 after a French judicial inquiry fingered president Kagame in the April 6 plane attack which triggered the violence. That investigation is still ongoing, now with a new judge and a more balanced approach, and Rwanda is waiting for ballistic results conducted by French judge Marc Trevidic in Kigali on September 2010. The recurrence of tensions may well depend on their results, now scheduled before the end of this year.

Let me introduce you to my paternal grandparents….Stephania and John
They are my Polish grandparents…and the ones that always lived near us. My babcha, Stephania, was a expert gardener, seamstress and shopper. She was always so fashionable dressed and accessorized. She generally made ALL of her own clothing, anything that she could practically make, she did.
And cook! Could she ever. We had the best holiday dinners at her house. All the good traditional polish food. At Thanksgiving, my favorite was her gravy with some sort of polish mushroom….oh were they good. And she would make pierogi, at Thanksgiving the fillings would be sauerkraut, potato and cheese. But at Christmas, she would make apple, blueberry and plum pierogi with powdered sugar and butter over the top. She made cooking and serving look so easy, serving a good number of guests around her table…not asking anyone to bring a dish to pass, and absolutely no one was to help her with the dishes. The table was set with beautiful china, and goldplated silverware, candles too of course. She would never sit down during the whole meal, saying she had enough to eat while she was cooking. She would bring bowl after bowl of food as needed.
These are wonderful memories, of my past Thanksgivings with my grandparents, thanks for taking the trip back with me. Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving that you will remember fondly.

The Yard Sale box is the perfect way to post directions to your yard sale. To use, fill in the appropriate end of the arrow, add a brick to the inside of the box to hold it in place, and close the lid with some tape.
would like it to be a little cheaper and maybe some smaller sizes available
Hello, Abbey! No, we do not carry a box that says "Garage Sale." Thank you!
For the 18"x 20"x 28" you could use one of our Shorty Wardrobe Boxes. As for the 20"x 20"x 55", the closest thing we have is a Grand Wardrobe Box that is 24"x 21"x 48". Another option would be to use furniture pads with your end tables instead of sealing them up in boxes. This is how most moving companies would pack end tables to prevent damage.
Yes, there is!
Thanks for asking.

PowerPC 970FX making its way into other platforms
Posted by: Jim on: 02/27/2004 02:31 AM [ Print | 12 comment(s) ]
Tom was kind enough to send in this news about the PowerPC 970FX (G5) processor making its way into machines other than Apple's illustrious Power Mac G5. A company by the name of Momentum will be offering these up in a dual configuration on an IBM-designed motherboard.
Available in two different packages, Momentum will offer the evaluation platform as either: A full system with dual 1.4GHz 970FX processors, 1GB DDR SDRAM, 400W ATX power supply, 20GB IDE hard drive including the 970 file system and CD-ROM drive in a clear acrylic ATX case. They'll also offer a development net-boot system with dual 1.4GHz 970FX processors and 400W ATX power supply mounted on an acrylic support plate that leaves the board exposed for easy probing and diagnostics.These kits will probably be quite expensive, but it'll be nice to see these processors in machines other than Apple's. Check it out.

W00t...PowerPC970s without all the Apple cruft. I expect we'll have some at work to play with eventually...When I posted something about this a while ago the number $3,500 was being kicked around. Hopefully the final units won't be that pricy.

For the price that they are talking bout charging.... I wouldn't look twice at them. I would just go and get a PowerMac, XServe or an IBM 970 blade all of which are cheaper.
They need to seriously rethink the pricing in my opinion. But its really interesting to see other people getting this cool technology.
All the same by the time its out in march, users only have to wait 3 more months and the 3GHz G5's as promised by Steve Jobs at WWDC 03 will be due to roll out into XServes and PowerMacs.
@HEMI: obviously you don't like the idea of an Apple badge on your operating system or hardware. fair enough, why don't you just get the same tech in an IBM blade instead of that Momentum job. It shuld be much cheaper. AFAIK Apple presently has the fastest processors in their setups (probably due to an agreement with IBM) but IBM does have a real nice Blade with 970FX's at 1.6GHz , in SMP arrangement. Might be more your thing if you want to steer well clear of apple??? Or if you don't mind the apple badge on your case, get a G5 powermac (this would be my option), wipe it of OSX, and then install gentoo PPC or yellow dog linux (I don't think there is a supported FBSD distro for it yet..)....

There were versions of NT 3 and 4 that ran on PowerPC. Maybe if there was enough demand MS would port NT5 or Longhorn over.
The Xbox 2 will run on PowerPC so MS will be writing/porting stuff over to PowerPC anyways.
Will Vista run on my TRS-80?

There is a FreeBSD/powerpc port in the works. I don't really follow development of the port, though.

Ive heard xbox 2 will be on an Athlon 64 chip, with an ATI chipset, but until its on the shelf all bets are off...
NT 3.51 ran on PowerPC's back in the day. However it likely wouldnt run on a the new PowerPC... If going from the PowerPC 3 to 4 was enough to break Mac OS, I imagine windows would also break....

In a way it's a real shame that MS stopped the multiplatform support that the early versions of Windows NT had. The discipline necessary to write clean and reliable multiplatform code (with multiple different HALs for the various hardware types) has probably been somewhat diluted in Win2k/XP due to their x86-only nature.
Not to mention NT4 on an Alpha ruled, apparently

xbox2 is going to be a 970 variant, but microsoft has no plans to
support the ppc outside of the x-box
IBM has been mulling the "powerpc reference platform" for years,
but for some stupid reason the company never pushed it. It may get
more attention now that there's long-term contracts with apple, sony, nintendo, and microsoft for various flavors, combined with ibm's growing momentum towards linux.

PReP? Do IBM RS/6000 and Motorola Powerstack ring a bell? I think the older Apple Network Servers may have been PReP-based machines as well.

I was referring to the broader push to get independent vendors to create powerpc based motherboards. There have actually been a few and some are even still in business.

Itanium isn't x86. Which means multiplatform support still exists.
And I heard the development SDK for the XBOX 2 is running on a version of Windows NT running on dual G5's.
I can't wait to see Windows 2003 or Longhorn running on the 970FX or even the Power4.

Absolutely fucking dud.
Their debut seems to be on countless lists of "best albums of the '00s" and to this fucking day I've never been able to figure out why. Sure, there's the occasional witty lyric and some good drumming, but witty lyrics and good drumming alone do not make a great album. Alex Turner's delivery and incredibly limited melodic sense on top of some of the most lumpen chord progressions leads to pretty much every song sounding near enough the fucking same, and most of the material for me most part strikes me as being very unmemorable. To be honest with you, I thought these fuckers were nothing more than a fad back in 2006 and never really understood why everyone seemed to be collectively ejaculating at the mere thought of 'em, especially when there were much better bands around at the time. In fact, I thought so little of them that I remember thinking that maybe, just possibly, their careers would be over in a small handful of years a la Kula Shaker when everyone realised how rubbish they were. I wasn't a massive fan of Franz Ferdinand either, but I thought they were miles and miles ahead of Arctic Monkeys at the time, and still think they're the superior band. Listening back, Franz Ferdinand's debut still holds up incredibly well. The Arctic Monkeys one doesn't, but did it ever?

last album had some of their best stuff though, even if the dr dre production impersonation could occasionally have been done a bit better.
I always pictured Alex Turner giving a sly wink after that "save it for the morning after" lyric in Teddy Picker. I never got this band despite all my friends going crazy for them back in '06. I do like some kitchen-sink lyricism but they never did it for me and the new stuff sounds compressed and boring like all modern rock does now. and Alex Turner has turned into shithead Indie Bono. I do like "Cornerstone" though. They got it right there imo.

I've been a fan of them since their second album and I think they've only gotten better at just about everything since then. What Alex Turner's always had from the beginning though is undeniable charisma. Even back in 05 when they were shit at guitar and all the songs sounded the same he had a commanding presence.

Ooh, I dunno. As I said before, I thought Franz Ferdinand were making better music at the time, and I still think Bloc Party, Maximo Park and The Futureheads debut albums are all good records, even if they seemed to struggle to match those albums afterwards.

i actually don't know that album. i did buy it but resold it before i even opened it, now i can listen on Spotify.
i love AM and think it's the best thing this band has done. songs like "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?," "One For the Road," "Arabella," "Fireside," the wonderful "Knee Socks" and of course "Do I Wanna Know?" might be my most played album in 2013.

there's a much longer thread about AM somewhere i think?
they peaked at Suck It And See IMO, the Glastonbury show in between Suck It.. and AM was extraordinary.

Hmm. I should listen to Suck It and See today - it seems to be the album of theirs that nobody talks about.
Humbug is getting stronger with each spin. I still hate that first LP, though.

Sounds like they've made their Hot Space. I'm here for it!
Anyway some bright spark has made a Spotify playlist of the tunes Alex Turner said he'd been listening to of late(in a MOJO feature) and it's amazing

Hot Space is a terrible record, so if that's what the Arctic Monkeys have made then that really doesn't sound promising.

Really good with a few weird play-them-once-skip-them-forever-after tracks. Also an 8.1 on Pitchfork, 0.1 better than the best review they'd had on the site previously (for AM).

For example, tools originally designed for motion will be used to construct form. Aspects of time such as speed and duration will be used to contemplate form and interaction. The first half of the course involves weekly assignments focused towards an understanding of virtual in relation to real form. The second half is devoted to an individual project.Grading: Grading is determined by the completion and quality of all assignments. Attendance and participation are mandatory, these effect the grade. No more than 3 absences allowed. Assignments should only be made for this class.Overlapping Exercises and Assignments0a) Create a simple scene in Unity, use OBS to record while wearing a Vive headset. Due Weds week 1.0b) Create a simple scene in Unity using Maya shapes with some animation, use the Vive to look at the scene, use OBS to record the project while wearing a Vive headset, due Wednesday week 2.0c) Animate a cup and pencil in Maya from the tutorials, use trigger to start the animation. Use OBS to record the project while wearing a Vive headset. due Monday week 3.1) Find an artistic image of an interior photograph or painting created by a known artist. Model it. Consider light, point of view, and what it means to change the original. Consider who or what is the point of view of the image, what feeling or idea is the artist trying to convey? We will use the environment from the image to view as a VR virtual reality. You will be adding elements not seen in the artist's rendition since you are not able to see behind the artwork. In addition, render 2 3000 pixel images and document the interaction of the VR. Due week 52) Model a ring to be 3D printed at shapeways.com. Bring in a sketch idea week 3.

AKC Standard for FruFru's , and FCI Standard too.
And FAQ's, written by my friend Schalene Dagutis are the most complete description of our little guys. These little Cuban Bichon dogs are just so unbelievably adorable that even I have been sucked into the world of little FruFRUs!!!:)
This is "Precioso's Rx Por Sonrisas", she is known as FruFru, Snowshoe, PooPoo, foo foo, and other such silly names!! Her name is in Spanish and it means "Precious Prescription (Rx) for Smiles!!!!!" Schalene gave her to me when Circus was dying of cancer as he loved the little dogs soooo much and she gave Circus so much fun in his last days. She has continued to keep me smiling by her amusing ways and by her ability to always make me think of happy thoughts, it is like somehow Schalene and Circus both knew that I would be the one that needed this "prescription"
How can you not just laugh at a dog that is like a ragdoll?? Fru is the most entertaining and silly dog in the world, she never has a bad day (bad hair days, yes, bad mood days--NEVER).
Havanese are known for their bouncy, springy step. They do always look "disheveled" but they are always happy!
Pets can be clipped for comfort and easier grooming, every Havanese I know sleeps on the BACKS of the furniture - like furry parrots!
And all of our Havanese are socialized to the REAL dogs and forced to be the entertainment for the crowds!!
The dog pulling is Action Jackson a Great Pyranees:
The dogs riding are Max and Mardi (fun at parties) Dagutis!!

Packing when moving houseJ4 Packaging
We know moving house is stressful and one of the biggest single tasks is safely packing all your valuables and belongings and then unpacking at the other end. Your task can be made a little less stressful and possibly cheaper thanks to a little planning. It is worth mentioning that the cost of moving house can vary a lot depending if you will be doing it yourself or if you are going to hire a specialist company and finally, the type of company you will chose. f course a man with a van will be cheaper option than a full service removals company.
Here are our top tips to help with easing your tensions when it comes to the big move.
Begin your packing early, some would suggest months beforehand but this would depend upon how many items you intend to pack. We would say allocate at least 1 week for each average sized room you intend to clear out and tackle one room at a time, starting with the rooms used less frequently. This will help with the clutter created from boxes and packing material getting in the way.
Begin with packing items that are not used on a daily basis, this way you can pack and forget about them. Packing items you are likely to need regularly will only mean wasting time unpacking and repacking them. This will also give you an opportunity to re-evaluate the items you intend on keeping.
Now is the perfect time to begin putting aside items that can be sold at carboot/garage sales or given to charity. Be ruthless in your approach and dispose of any items you cannot accommodate easily in your new home. Do you really need that old rug which has been gathering dust in the loft? Moving house is a good way to do a bit of decluttering. If you need a bit of inspiration, check out "The life-changing magic of tidying." by Marie Kondo
Pack each box lightly so lifting and moving the boxes around is easy. Attempt to keep the weight of each box under 15 kg and fill in voids and gaps within the box with newspaper or biodegradable loose fill to help avoid items shifting in transit. You can use additional packing tape and bubble wrap to line the sides and bottom of your boxes for additional cushioning and safety. Remember as a general rule, small to medium sized boxes are ideal for heavier items, larger boxes are more suited to lighter items. Also, pack heavier items such as books first, heavier boxes will hold up stacks of lighter boxes freeing up valuable floor space.
You may find it useful to employ a packing and removal company (preferably one that does both) on the day of the move. They are unlikely to get sidetracked with nostalgia every time they pick up an old photo album. This will speed up the process and make it less painful on the day of the move. It is worth mentioning that the cost of moving house can vary a lot depending if you will be doing it yourself or if you are going to hire a specialist company and finally, the type of company you will chose. The cost vary a lot: from £20 an hour for a man with a van to thousands of pounds when you have a big house and hire a professional company.
Labels, labels, labels.. You will be thankful for this one when you begin to unpack, saving you time when looking for items you will need access to right away. Place labels and notices to the sides of boxes and not the top. Also, colour code your box labels for different rooms to help make sure the boxes are moved to the correct location. For example all packed kitchen items should be colour coded in one colour, bedrooms items in another and so on.
Be sure to pack an essentials box, this should include snacks and other essential items such phone chargers, kettle, tea/coffee, details of local take aways and contact details of your Utility suppliers.
Keep the kids busy on the day, if you can get help with looking after young children on the day of the move then this will certainly help. However, you can get them involved with certain tasks such as writing and colour coding your box labels to keep them occupied whilst everything is going on.
Last but certainly not least we suggest having a good supply of packing material to hand, items such as heavy duty packing tape, bubble wrap, biodegradable loose fill and cardboard boxes of various types.
Here are some handy packing hacks to help further:
- Don't skimp on packaging materials as they will be used for storing your valuable items for a few weeks at least, so invest in quality material that will stand the test of time.
- Use paper or styrofoam plates in between your ceramic dinner plates to help with cushioning.
- Use resealable bags to pack liquids and gels to avoid unwanted spillages
- Books can be extremely heavy once boxed away, be sure to stack books spine down and the opening of the book facing upwards.
- Clothing can be used as effective space fillers for voids in boxes.
- Use wardrobe boxes which allow you to hang your clothing items for easy access and efficient unpacking at the other end. Remember it is unlikely you will be able to unpack all your items right away. Having quick and easy access to your clothes will be essential.

Regulation of Blood Sugar in Intensive Care Patients
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/1739
High blood sugar levels are frequent in intensive care patients, resulting in higher mortality and morbidity, and longer stay. GlucoSafe, a computer decision support system, is developed to assist clinicians in regulating blood sugar. The system uses a physiological model of sugar metabolism, including insulin production and action, and intestinal uptake of nutrients. However, efficacy will depend on how accurately it can predict future blood glucose levels (BG) after a glycemic control intervention, based on previously measured BG values. 1-10 hour forward predictions were made using GlucoSafe (GS) and a clinically tested model (CC) from New Zealand for 11 hyperglycemic patients, 6 from New Zealand and 5 from Denmark. As expected, relative RMS prediction error increases with prediction interval for both models and cohorts. Fig. 1 shows similar predictive power for GS and CC up to 3-5 hours. GS outperforms CC for predictions beyond 5 hours. A CC-based protocol has been successfully applied for glycemic control in Christchurch. Therefore, GlucoSafe is expected to be a safe, effective tool for blood sugar regulation in intensive care.

After a week of unexplainable illness, O.k. maybe unexplainable illness is a stupid choice of words here. I just mean an illness that I am not really sure of it's origin. Anyway, the very next week I was SO Much better it was remarkable.
After the ill week I had five days of the Status Quo days. It is funny to hear myself say that I was delighted to have them back. I have come to a place of understanding of those. I can navigate those.
I was feeling so good and the weather was so reasonable, I took total advantage of them all. Granted I still kept my head and didn't see if I could push myself too hard.Words from my daddy always play through my thoughts, warning us of what spring fever can do. He would always stop us before we went out on a spring day and caution us. Be careful out there. Don't enjoy the day so much that you aren't watching out for yourself. Don't let yourself get killed or injured because you're in a rush to have a fun time in the nice weather. Those kind of comments are treasure to me. They reveal a caring, knowing, loving father.
I have mentioned before here of playing with my son's wii all winter long. I am so glad we did. When last Wednesday broke forth with ample sunshine and reasonable temperatures I told him to get ready. We are going for a hike.
I have been wanting to make this hike since last fall. And this day all the pieces fell into place. Even before my son and I could head out my hubby got home. Work had ended early. He was up for the hike too. That made it positively perfect. So with out further pale words from me. Here is our hike.

This is so exciting. I love this book and to finally see it with a cover is fantastic!
Spiritbound will be released on April 22, 2015. It's a paranormal romance ebook and a prequel to Bespelled. That's right, this story is set before Elena and Jake and it features Grace and Declan.
So without further ado. Tadaa!
Many thanks to the design team at Escape Publishing. It's great.
It looks so fab.

The administration's considering was more than likely depending on three factors. First, given that the full Eleventh Circuit is taken into account much more conservative than the three-judge panel that struck down the mandate, the one advantage of a second hearing would have been to delay consideration by the Supreme Court. Towards this was presumably factored the political threat of a further effectively-publicized rejection of the mandate providing further ammunition for opponents of reform.

There aren't any rules! You may write whatever you want everytime you want. It's your journal. The biggest hurdle you will have to get over is the value of your writing. Many quit journaling as a result of they assume what they're writing has no value. If it did not you wouldn't have began in the first place. While you get these emotions write through them. What is essential is to get started and preserve going. The extra you do it the extra ideas you have got and the more your path will develop into apparent.

9-12m Christmas Guide!
Happyland figures -
I came across these while searching through Amazon's Best Sellers for babies around his age and started with the London Bus set which came with 5 characters! They're so solid and don't have any fiddly bits that I'm happy for him to play with them and put them in his mouth. They all stand up so it's fun to put them in a line and a few have even crept their way into the bath which make good bath toys. I've since got him a set of another three people and a cat and a dog. On Black Friday the Happyland sets went half price on most of the sets which was such good value. They have a ton of cool sets like farm, police, train set, pirate ship... so many and they're so cute! I'm going to wait to see what Oscar gets for his birthday and Christmas from other people and scope out some more Happyland sets in the January sales!
My Firstyears -
My Firstyears had such a good Black Friday sale that I managed to swipe a few bits. I got Oscar a blue rucksack with stars on that has his name engraved on the back. (Something I'm fine with now but not sure I would want his name so big/on his bag if he was walking home from school or something, for obvious reasons) It's the perfect size for his day-bag for when he goes to his Grandparents, has two side pockets for snacks and a water bottle and enough room for a change of clothes a few nappies and some other bits and bobs. I also got him a beautiful lilac/grey dressing gown. He actually had this gifted to him at his baby shower in the 0-12m size which has lasted him so well, and has his name embroidered on one side, I loved it so much and think the colour is so lovely that I bought it in the next size up exactly the same. I also got him a grey fabric toy 'bag' with "Oscar's Toys" embroidered on it. It's reversible and his nursery is grey so was absolutely perfect to go in there. I've already given him the bag and the box as he is too young to know when/what Christmas is anyway so were more convenient for me to use from when they arrived. I also bought a pair of grey slippers with penguins on for my Secret Santa, a little boy called Bertie, and engraved his name on the back. And also a PVC apron with the name engraved on the front in pink, with a floral reverse which came with a set of paints too for my friends 2 year old to paint with!
Not on the high street -
From www.notonthehighstreet.com I got Oscar a personalised sack with his full name on, I love this as it feels so authentic and will be something we can use every year to keep his presents in. It's not as big as I thought it would be so considering most of his presents are big as they are toys in large boxes, it fits about a dozen presents. If it were an adults sack it would fit plenty but his toys are pretty bulky. I also got a personalised stocking, in hindsight as he has a common name I probably could have found one in a shop and paid less, but I love the design of it and again, is something we can use year after year.
Toys -
The Fisher-Price Bright Beats Dance & Move BeatBo - he is one catchy mother fucker. It dances around and sings songs as its stomach flashes different colours. It took Oscar a while to come around to it but now he holds on to the sofa and bounces up and down with his knees dancing to it. It's a good distraction toy. If he hurts himself by accident or gets moody about something its a nice and bright toy to distract him and make him happy again!
Vtech learning activity table. This has been a great toy to get Oscar more confident in standing as it encourages him to play while standing as opposed to sat down. I like to put it just a foot or two away from the sofa to encourage his walking from the sofa to the table and back again. Again, it's a little annoying but what kids toys aren't.
Clothes -
I have got Oscar some 12-18m clothes from various shops- Zara, H&M, Mothercare to name a few. It's something he needs anyway so makes a nice gift to have it all ready for when he is big enough for that size. I got him some Christmas pyjamas to wear on Christmas Eve and spend the morning in on Christmas day from Matalan.
I got given some jeggings a while ago and still squeeze him into them because I love them so much and haven't found anything similar yet - until I got told to try checking the girls section!! So today, Oscar got three new pairs of leggings from the girls section - NO SHAME IN MY GAME! I also got him two Christmas jumpers from ASDA and one from Mothercare - they're too cute not to! It's crazy because they are both from the boys section because he is now size 1-1/2 years which is just crazy!
Range Rover - This a silly present as we have a Range Rover so it's just novelty. I got two name signs from the pound shop and stuck them on as 'private plates' which look super cool. He also has a red race car walker from Toys R Us which has been amazing and he absolutely loves it! It's helped with his walking so much and he goes so fast around the kitchen in it!
'Thats not my' books... A lady sent me a link to get a set of 5 Christmas themed 'That;s not my' books for an amazing price. They're normally worth £7 per book but this website had these 5 for £20 including postage! 'Thats not my donkey, Santa, Elf, snowman, reindeer' worth £34 plus postage!! https://www.lowplex.com/christmas-collection-x-5-special-touchy-feely-5-board-books-set-thats-not-my-elf-snowman-donkey-santa-reindeer-42183-p.asp

As a science teacher at Hillcrest Academy, I get to know students from all around the world and each has a unique story. I have seen, over and over again, that the process of becoming a Christian isn't an event as much as it is a journey (an adventure, really). So many people and events go into that process. Of course, that is also the Bible—a long history of God revealing himself to fallen humanity, preparing us for that moment in time when God entered time and space through Jesus Christ.
What follows is a Hillcrest story that blossomed before my eyes over the past two years, and I still am in wonderment that it happened.
August 2015: The student would be arriving at Hector International Airport in Fargo, North Dakota. I headed down the highway to Fargo, wondering how I'd spot the new student. Would she be tired, hungry or worn out from the trip? Most importantly, could we communicate in English?
It didn't take long to find Loi, looking cheerful, perhaps a little apprehensive, and excited to start life at Hillcrest Academy. She had come to America from Vietnam. This was her first time in the USA. I asked if she'd like something to eat. She said she was fine, so we loaded the car and headed southeastward to her new home.
During the hour-long ride back to Hillcrest, I asked quite a few questions. My first big surprise was that Loi was fluent in English—as in, there wasn't even an accent. And she had a huge English vocabulary. I never would have guessed that she was an international student. We began a conversation about Jesus. Loi hadn't heard of Jesus, though she was interested to find out more. I asked her about the Bible, she had heard of that, and was interested to learn more.
So I asked her after a bit—did she know that Hillcrest was a Christian school? She was not sure what that meant, but she thought it would be interesting to learn more about what Christians believe.
When school started, I was blessed to have Loi in my biology class. Over the following semesters, she would take biology, chemistry and physics. I appreciated her insightful questions, her boldness and deep thinking. There were only a few Hillcrest students from Vietnam, and Loi seemed to prefer books or studying to spending time with friends. I found myself praying that she would develop deep friendships as the year progressed.
In Loi's second year, a few students joined the student body who would have a profound impact on the lives of many students. One was Ashley, who has an amazing vivaciousness for life and people, and who has a sort of Velcro-stickiness that attracts friends. Loi soon found herself caught up in Ashley's circle of friends.
Another student, Molly, came from Brainerd, Minnesota. She also got caught up in the Ashley Velcro. Molly was a cross-country ski champ, and Hillcrest was blessed to have her on the school's team. Molly is one of those quiet evangelists who is always looking out for others. She brings wisdom to every conversation.
We have circular tables in the dining hall—very handy for conversations. Often faculty and staff join the students for lunch. Loi, Myles, Ashley, Di and others staked out a place in the southeast corner. Di came from China. She's a fantastic artist and engineering student. Sometimes I'd sit with these students and enjoy learning about life. Myles works at a movie theater and gives intellectual reviews of the latest movies. It's also a great spot to discuss spiritual things.
Things transpired that this "sunshine" group of girls from Hillcrest began attending Fergus Falls' Good Shepherd Lutheran Brethren Church. Ellen, who had also joined the Ashley team, along with Molly, Di and Loi, would sit in the first row at church, absorbing all of the music and preaching. They also joined the youth group. God's spirit was at work, and soon Loi was asking a lot of questions about Jesus. Paula Quam started a Bible study for the girls. As time went on, I noticed that Loi's circle of friends was growing and that she was becoming more and more cheerful.
One day, during Loi's senior year, she and Di brought some really big news: "Mr. Jahr, we're going to be baptized!" I praised the Lord for his powerful work!
And the year continued to unfold with a multitude of requests from Loi to me. "Mr. Jahr, would you like to read my testimony?" "Mr. Jahr, would you write a recommendation? I'm applying to a Christian college."
And as the year closed, Loi wrote, "Mr. Jahr, thank you for everything in the sciences and about Christ… I am grateful for how you've helped me establish my faith. Don't forget me!"
Loi concluded her testimony with these words: "People will be asking questions about how I became a Christian and why I am a Christian, and I hope that my answers would always lie in how great of a sacrifice Christ has made for me, and how deeply I need his forgiveness as a sinner and his shepherding as a lost lamb. There's much to be said about my relationship with Christ and I'm confident that my story will continue to evolve and change as my life will itself. I hope that Christ will always be the center of my faith and that I will stay as committed to him, a follower, as I am now."
Loi's testimony was recorded and featured at the Hillcrest class of 2017 graduation. Hers became another voice testifying to God's grace as her faith was brought to life through Christ's Spirit at Hillcrest.
Loi's life changed because the Lord brought her to Hillcrest from Vietnam—halfway around the world. Her story of faith is another celebration of Hillcrest's centennial.
Rev. Armin Jahr is the Science Teacher at Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

Mysterious PrismBack to Objects Main > Mysterious Prism
Real Identity: Not Applicable
Appearances: Colors of Raven, Some of Their Parts, and Garage Sale
Powers/Skills: Magic
Voiced By: Not Applicable
The Mysterious Prism is an obscure artifact that was on display at the Jump City Museum. Dr. Light stole it for some nefarious purpose but Raven defeated him. The prism was confiscated by the Titans. While they played around with it, the prism turned on and imprisoned Raven within it. It feel to the ground and shattered into five shards. Five Ravens, each representing an aspect of her personalities, emerged. The other Titans eventually captured the five Ravens by touching a shard to each then rejoined the object. Raven was restored to normal.
A shard was tossed in Beast Boy's chest of mementos under his bed. Eventually, he found it and tried to split Raven up again so he could make out with the passionate Raven. Robin deflected the prism and reiterated how dangerous it was. However, Robin realized he could use the prism to split each Titan into their five core personalities and chose which one he wanted for his elite crime fighting team. The rest were held in the prism, which he attached to a blaster gun. After stopping a huge crime wave, Robin realized a team of five Robins would be better. He restored the Titans for normal then used the prism on himself. Silkie ate the prism in a bid to save the day and split off. Each Robin fought one of the Silkie personalities. Once the Robin's were all defeated, Silkie restored them both to normal. Robin apologized for abusing the prism but Beast Boy used it on Raven. Before he could get his kiss, raging Raven grabbed him by the head. It was stored in the Titans Tower attic.

Do Elections Hinge on Mortgage Rates?
July 18, 2018
Changes in the availability of mortgage credit can impact voting patterns in presidential elections, according to a new paper by researchers Alexis Antoniades of Georgetown University and Charles W. Calomiris of Columbia University. They analyzed swings in mortgage credit to study the impact they may have had on political choices. When credit is readily available, consumers don't seem to be at all politically influenced by mortgage credit. But when loans are challenging to come by, they take their anger out on incumbent politicians and parties, the report suggests.
"If the supply of mortgage credit had not contracted from 2004 to 2008, [Republican presidential candidate John] McCain would have received half the votes needed in nine crucial swing states to reverse the outcome of the election," which went to Barack Obama, the researchers write. "The effect on voting in these swing states from local contractions in mortgage credit supply was five times as important as the increase in the unemployment rate."
Researchers also note that the limits on mortgage credit during Obama's first term also had consequences for the Democratic Party, which lost congressional seats. On the other hand, when credit was widely available, it did not seem to help the incumbent Democratic Party in 2000 or the Republican Party in 2004, researchers note. Consumers don't seem to reward politicians for actions to expand credit, but they do appear to take notice and action when it isn't widely available, the researchers note.
"Asymmetries in voting response may reflect attribution bias," the researchers write. "When a voter gets a job or secures a mortgage, he or she may conclude that this is a consequence of his or her achievements; when a voter loses a job or is rejected for a mortgage, he or she may find it easier (in the sense of avoiding cognitive dissonance) to blame others."

Mother's Day is the one day of the year that it's all about mamá. It's the day we thank her for making us the center of her life the other 364 days of the year. So this year make it super special with a gift that takes more than money and a trip to the store. In my Fox News Latino article I offer several ideas that will help you make this Mother's Day a sentimental experience that your mamá will cherish for years to come.
Mother's Day: Casa Latina's Tips on What to Buy Your Mom
By Marlene Pratt Published May 06, 2012 Fox News Latino
Mother's Day comes but once a year and has particular significance in Hispanic households. For families that live in close proximity, it is a day for the extended family to gather and honor all the mamás, tías and abuelitas. However, that special gift is usually still reserved for our own mothers.
So right now many of us are thinking, "What should I get for mami?" We take stock of what she might need, or take pains to remember something she said she'd like that we know she would never buy for herself. Then we go out and buy it with love in our hearts and present it with a big hug and kiss. Any recognition and sign of affection is going to make every mami very happy. In the end, it is never about the size of the gift, or how much you spent on it, but about the fact that you, her daughter or son, presented it to express your gratitude and love.
This year I suggest you do something a little different. Consider giving mami a heartfelt – homemade – Mother's Day gift she will remember and cherish for years to come. It may not cost you as much as you would normally spend in dollars, but it will take a little time, effort and thought, which in the end, is more valuable.
Create a Family Scrapbook: Go through family pictures that span from mami's childhood to the present day and include thoughts, memories and poems that illustrate how much she means to you. Also integrate birth announcements, invitations to milestone events and songs she sung to you as a child. Be creative, cut around the photos using patterned scissors and boarder them with colored paper. Integrate stickers and ribbons to add pop.
TIP: You can buy a scrapbook and most of the supplies you need for this project at your local craft store.
Start a Family Tree: Start your family tree early by asking relatives for names and dates you don't have and pictures you can make copies from. Go back at least three generations to start. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the information needed for the last three generations. Online you can find templates, 'family tree kits' and charts you can purchase and customize. Make this a continuing family project that everyone can enjoy and participate in the future. You will be surprised at how many family stories and 'lore' that you are unaware of comes pouring out once the older generation start talking and reminiscing about la familia.
TIP: If a family tree chart is too complicated you can start simply by customizing a photo album with pictures, captions and dates.

The collared dove had decided that he didn't want to eat off the floor. So he started jumping on to the feeder tray to munch.
Then he sussed he could easily reach the ports.
The feeder was quite solid on the branch with its' metal handle, so I took it off and tied it to the branch with some string, thinking that when he lands it will swing and he'll lose balance.
The next morning, I looked out to see him happily munching away, no problem.
So I moved the feeder to underneath the bush, thinking he'd not get enough room to fly to it.
But I came home to see him munching away. Although I did see him try to get on later on. If he didn't get it right, it would be a bit awkward for him and he'd give up. So a part result.
I have now got 3 greenfinches, although they won't stray from this feeder.
I now have a male and female goldcrest. The male has an orangy stripe while the female's is yellower.
I also have the two nuthatches flitting in and out all day.
"I'm looking at you"
I was especially pleased to get my monthly visit from the bullfinches.

Passengers were pictured waiting on the tarmac as London City Airport was evacuated tonight over a false alarm.
All flights were suspended after the fire alarm went off, causing delays when things returned to normal this evening.
Fire crews were called to the airport while they tried to figure out what had caused the alarm.
The airport tweeted: 'Thank you for the patience of passengers following the fire alarm activation.
'The terminal has been temporarily evacuated.
'Following an investigation, this has been deemed a false alarm and normal operations will proceed as soon as possible.
Flights resumed again at 7.20pm.
The airport said: 'For passengers that remain in the queue to re-enter – we have opened as many security lanes as possible to get passengers through as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your patience.

Meaning, experience, and the modern self
The phenomenology of spontaneous sense in Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway"
Jacob Rump
pp. 317-355
By portraying meaning as a phenomenon that eludes complete expression and arises spontaneously in our everyday embodied interactions with others and objects in the world, as well as in our own unconscious registering of those interactions, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is uniquely insightful concerning both the presence of meaning in modern life and the modern conception of the self–phenomena marked by a certain ineradicable tension between that which is constituted by us and that which is given from outside us. This paper examines this tension through the lens of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, with special attention to the leitmotif of the «spontaneity of sense». Woolf and Merleau-Ponty both help to illustrate an important modern insight: that among the most meaningful experiences are those that are not only unexpected and unexplained, but in some sense foreign and unexplainable – mysterious events and yet everyday occurrences that explode the supposed privacy of our thoughts, and exceed our capacity for expression.
