The Knutsford Community Survey, completed by the Town Plan in 2009, found that 49% of 2,632 people responding to the Town Plan survey expressed a great deal or a fair amount of concern about the potential danger to the town from aircraft over-flying the town. Each year, more than seventeen thousand aircraft fly at between 600 and 1,000 feet across the town when approaching to land on a north-easterly runway at Manchester Airport. About another sixty-eight thousand flights, after taking off from Manchester on a south-westerly runway, normally skirt around the northern boundary of the town. In a wider safety context, major emergencies could arise from many other man-made or natural causes. A risk assessment of hazards peculiar to Knutsford is in Section 8 and other nationally defined hazards, their impact and local safety preparations and actions are covered in Section 9.
Community safety concerns were discussed at meetings by Town Plan specialist representatives with both Manchester Airport and the former Cheshire County Council. Following these meetings and a Town Plan recommendation made concerning flight safety at the airport, the Town Plan Report issued in March 2010, reflected community views given in responses to the 2009 Town Plan survey questionnaire. The Town Plan Report undertook to prepare an Emergency Plan the objective of which was to increase the responsiveness and resilience of the community and Town Council to any type of major emergency affecting the town.
The resultant Knutsford Community Emergency Plan, adopted by the Town Council on 10th January 2011, sets in place arrangements to meet the objective above. The Plan was prepared by the Emergency Plan Community Representative (EPCR) of the Knutsford Town Plan organisation in cooperation with Cheshire East Council (Joint East and West Cheshire Emergency Planning Team & Local Area Partnership), Cheshire Police Contingency Planning, Knutsford Neighbourhood Policing Team and Knutsford Town Council.
Aim and Objectives
The aim of the plan is to increase the readiness, responsiveness and resilience of the Knutsford community during any major emergency in the town by establishing an organisation, management structure and procedures capable of reacting quickly and effectively at no notice.
They key four main objectives are:
- To increase the preparedness and resilience of the community enabling it to respond quickly and effectively to any major emergency affecting Knutsford, thus allowing the emergency and public services to focus attention where it is most urgently needed.
- To provide an up-to-date and accessible database that includes key personal contacts, and the location of key buildings and facilities in the town, for use by Town Councillors in their role as Emergency Plan Coordinators, and to assist others (e.g. Emergency and other Services) brought in from outside Knutsford who lack local knowledge, to deal more effectively with the emergency.
- To identify local hazards and where practicable, to reduce the potential harm they may cause; and also to prepare plans to enable the Council and the community to take further action to mitigate the adverse effect of these hazards during an emergency.
- To encourage good neighbourliness so that members of the community look out for and assist neighbours at risk, and inform Councillors or the Emergency Incident Room should they believe a neighbour or someone else needs, or may be in need of assistance.

It is no secret that we at Garonga love romance and relaxation. We also love wildlife and the raw African wilderness that sets each day with a unique safari scene. Pair these two factors together and you have what we like to call "A Safari for the Soul".
A soul safari is an unhurried experience with opportunities for wild and wonderful wildlife encounters and precious time for relaxation and rejuvenation, all with the aim of reawakening one's spirit and appreciation of our world. The Garonga team believes in a safari experience of a different kind, where you can do as little or as much as you like.
Hop into a candle-lit bush bath with your loved one, let the worries of the world fade away and surrender to a safari romance whilst the wild scents and tranquil sounds of the African bush surround you.
Another way to experience the Kruger Park that remains a unique Garonga hidden treasure is to sleep outdoors on a raised platform where you can truly connect to the bushveld surroundings. The night sky and twinkling stars become your bush bedroom backdrop and the magic of Africa casts her safari spell that whisks you away into a deep sleep.
A recent visitor effortlessly summed up the Garonga experience as "just the right mix of boutique and bush".

I have a file with a lot of word lists, different sizes. I would like to know if it's possible to find overlaps between these lists automatically.
List A: lemon apple salad
List B: salad banana strawberry
List C: banana
I want to know if I there is an automatic way of signing this overlaps, or more specifically say how much overlap % there is between each of the lists.
Comebody can help?
Thank you in advance
Do you need the word/value in column A to match the same row in column B?
i.e.apple banana apple banana apple salad salad salad banana
Is apple in column A matched only to Column C, since it is not in the same row in column B?
I'm not exactly sure how to compare between the columns, but I know it's possible (try the VLOOKUP function).
I was going to recommend the "COUNTIF" function, but that would only help if you were looking for matches for a single word/value. If you were needing every possible word to be compared in the column, that might be too cumbersome.
Depending on how many different names you are looking for, you could do a separate COUNTIF function for every name. Take each count total for every name, divide by total, multiply by 100, and you have a %.
I did not interpret your post the same way that jdfry7 did,
so could you please post some of your data with what it looks like before
and what you expect after.

5 Tips for How to Stage an Intervention for Your Loved One
With nearly 24 million Americans struggling with addiction at any point in time, there are nearly 24 million ways to approach the problem. While there is no one size fits all solution, there are some approaches that have proven to work. If you're able to stage an intervention for your loved one, you could help them escape their addiction and rebuild their relationships.
Here are the 5 steps to staging an intervention that will work.
1. Form Your Team
Before you stage an intervention, you need to choose who is going to participate. Having the wrong people at your intervention will be a roadblock to your success. You need people who care about your loved one, whether co-workers, employers, parents, or partners.
Your team needs to be people who care for your loved one while also being those who have been affected by their addiction. The people who arrive need to be able to speak from experience and speak from the place of an open heart. They need to know this person as more than just a person with an abuse issue but as a real and complex individual.
You also need to be frank about how your team members affect your loved one's addiction. If they have traumatized your loved one in the past for any reason, they're not the right messengers for this intervention. Many people who suffer addiction do so as a response to trauma and if you risk repeating that trauma, you'll do more harm than good.
Be sure that everyone is comfortable speaking about these issues and is ready. Some people take time to heal when they've been hurt by someone's addiction. Don't reopen fresh wounds.
2. Find The Right Place
The place where you hold your intervention is just as important as the people you choose to fill it with. You need to have a place where you won't be interrupted. It needs to be convenient enough for everyone while not being a place where people will be popping in and out of.
If you choose the home of a friend or a loved one, you need to think carefully and have a frank conversation about everyone involved. This home could be a place where your loved one feels safe and could open up. It could also be the sight of a traumatic argument or event that led them down the path of their addiction.
Consider renting a private office somewhere. If you're having a large enough group of people, you might want to rent out a conference room at a hotel or even just a hotel room. Keep your attendees limited to more than three but less than 10.
MAke sure your loved one knows where the place is so that they don't feel too caught off guard. They need to feel open to receive the information.
3. Write Your Scripts
Everyone involved in the intervention should have a script for how they will tell their story and how they were affected by the addiction. When a friend or loved one is dealing with alcohol or drug abuse, it's not about the drugs or alcohol itself. IT's about the things that your loved one will do in order to get drunk or high.
Have everyone write out a script. It's okay to read from the script during the intervention. Writing things and reading them out loud is a great way to understand your feelings.
Come up with some rules for the scripts. There should be no blame placed on your loved one. Just tell the story, give the facts, and let the results speak for themselves.
Don't speak for anyone else, whatever you do. If your spouse was negatively impacted by the actions of your loved one with the addiction, only speak from your own experience. Speaking for someone else is too open to speculation and will seem abstract to your loved one.
It's too easy to argue with an abstract idea or how someone who isn't in the room felt about something.
4. Rehearse With The Team
You need to take some time to rehearse your intervention with your team. Rehearsing your intervention allows you to get through the tough material, to know what works, and hammer out the order of the intervention.
When your loved one is in the room with you, your emotions will be different. It's more likely people will be pushed to tears, but if they've practiced their scripts, the intervention will be more effective. Be sure to bring tissues.
Scrutinize the order that everyone speaks in and look for issues in their writing. They need to maintain open body language and make as much eye contact as is possible.
They also need to obey the order and not speak over anyone else. Speaking out of turn can introduce chaos and make things much harder than they need to be.
5. Have a Goal and an Agreement in Mind
You need a result from your intervention. It's more than just an airing of grievances. The point needs to be to get something done.
You need to have a goal in mind and a place you want your loved one to attend. Research a few programs before your intervention. Look at the pros and cons with your loved one in mind.
Consider what's important to them and what they want to get from their intervention. Addiction is a painful and difficult struggle for everyone involved but without a possible answer, you'll be fighting it for a long time.
When You Stage an Intervention, Have an Open Heart
If you take the time to stage an intervention for your loved one, you could be saving their life. Approach it with an open heart and a boatload of patience. It might take years but your loved one will thank you and so will the people who love them will too.
If you're wondering what you can expect from a treatment program before and after your intervention, check out our guide for more info.

Hello! This post is a little long. Read the more concise and practical version here.
If you want advice on how to get over someone – read this post.
Note: While this post pertains to dating advice and dynamics, it's also entirely relevant for general social pursuits – eg. Expressing interest in a platonic friendship of someone you admire, or forming a business/professional relationship. In fact it's these kinds of relationships that I'm more interested in, but discussions of romantic pursuits is a relatable and common starting point.
Recently I saw this image posted on my Facebook and it got me thinking about my own experiences with not receiving replies to text or Facebook messages.
I've found a common dynamic when it comes to dating and friendship is I'll invite a friend or a romantic interest to spend some time together, and I'll either get no response from them at all, or I'll get a some kind of 'I can't this week, but maybe next week?' or 'I have to look at my schedule'.
While these two responses are distinctly different, what they have in common is that being on the receiving end it can be unclear what the response means, especially if you've talked before and the engagement has been cordial.
In this post, while I use online dating as an initial vehicle for discussing the dynamics of no-reply and I'm-busy responses. The more important dynamic I'm really interested in, is these responses from people who you know a bit better.
It's important to acknowledge here that it's possible that when someone hasn't replied they may be perfectly interested in whatever relationship it is you're seeking, but have forgotten/got busy/are feeling depressed. I know personally I tend to stop replying to messages when I get depressed, and it's not because I don't like the person who's messaging me. Equally possible though, is that they haven't replied because they're simply not interested.
Why even talk about this?
It might be tempting to suggest that these kinds of social dynamics simply don't merit this much thought – an emotionally healthy person will simply forget about it till the next time they consider messaging a person. An alternative phrasing is to suggest that these kinds of dynamics apply to people who 'playing games' and that socially mature people communicate honestly and in an upfront manner. I think both of these arguments are dismissive and don't appreciate the complexity of human social interaction. A quick google of terms like 'sometimes I forget to reply', 'when they don't text back' reveal plenty of results and memes about the subject, which suggests that it's a wide spread experience, and is thus worth theorising about.
No reply as a not interested.
In online dating, not replying to a first message is the accepted standard that says 'not interested'. This isn't bleak reflection of the state today's social dynamics, it's just how it works. It might not be a satisfying conclusion to the person being rejected, but the alternative that the rejecter faces is facing abuse for their rejection, or a person otherwise persisting in the face of explicit rejection. Tinder provides a good mechanism for this kind of rejection – by unmatching the person it both sends a clear signal that you're interested, as well as not allowing them to send another message protecting you from any abuse.
If we can accept that a no-reply in this context is socially acceptable, and not rude, then we can extend it to include real life dating and social interaction as well. For example, that cute girl you met at a party, who you got the number of, may have decided that she's no longer interested, and simply not reply.
This 'silence means rejection' can further extend itself into rejection of established relationships – notably in the practise of 'ghosting' whereby one breaks up with someone by simple blocking them on social media and never talking to them. A technique for ending or toning down friendships is the 'slow fade' where one consciously stops initiating conversation, or replying to messages and the relationship naturally winds down.
While I think ghosting might be warranted in some circumstances (eg. the person is the person is a stalker, or following a big fight in which you break up), I'm generally of the opinion that this isn't a progressive social technique. In my opinion it's more indicative of social immaturity, and a desire to 'win the break up'.
I'm busy as a not interested.
In a similar vein, 'I'm busy' type responses can be used as a less confrontational alternative to saying 'I'm not interested'. One could be honest and say 'I'm not attracted/interested in you', but that can be quite an awkward conversation, and lead to further awkward interactions in the future. Instead, one uses 'Sorry, I'm busy that night' and hope that they get the hint, and the lack of explicit rejection allows the parties to continue interacting in a platonically friendly way.
This is more appropriate where you know the person in real life. For example a mutual friend or a colleague asking you to coffee or a drink after work. In online dating it's not necessary to give a 'I'm busy' – because not replying can suffice.
How to respond to receiving one of these responses?
For the person who's message isn't being replied to, it can be difficult to decide how to proceed.
By the nature of a no-reply it can be hard to tell whether:
- As suggested in the meme, the person has simply forgotten or has got busy.
- The message didn't catch their attention enough for them to be excited enough to reply.
- They receiver actively considered the message, and consciously decided not the reply.
One of the key points to acknowledge here, is that when someone doesn't reply to a message, it can be either consciously (they see the message and thing 'No I'm not going to reply'), or unconsciously (they see the message, but don't get around to replying to it and eventually forget, or they remember later but it feels to awkward to reply then).
Add into the mix an optimism bias, which is seems likely that men have in regards to their attractive appeal, and you can have a situation where the person whose reply has gone unanswered will interpret it as a 'they've forgotten' rather than as a 'they're not interested in me'.
Similarly, receiving an 'I'm busy' reply can be ambiguous. It hard to tell whether:
- They're genuinely busy.
- They're not interested, and are letting you down softly.
However, with I'm busy messages it can be a bit easier to indicate levels of interest. If the person saying they're busy is interested in meeting for the date, then they can suggest an alternative date. This removes the onus on the person asking, from having to ask, and expose themselves to rejection again.
This creates quite a clear communication protocol:
The person asking for a date: If you ask for a date, (or have a date cancelled), do not ask again, it's up to them to suggest an alternative.
The person being asked for a date: If you're unable to to make it on that day, or you have the date arranged by have to cancel – then if you're interested in dating that person it's up to you to immediately suggest an alternative date. If the other party is following this model, they won't ask again.
So ideally if everyone was following this model, then it would work quite well. The problem is, not everyone may be aware of etiquette to suggest the alternative, and instead for example be too shy to suggest the date alternative themselves, or be assuming that the other will continue to initiate requests.
However, the problem with this robust protocol, is it doesn't account for asymmetry in social value or importance.
For example, say for the purposes of general interest or career improvement you want to catch up for coffee with a famous politician. You can send them a nice email explaining who you are, and why you want to meet them. They may be genuinely interested in meeting you, but unable to meet you at time of the year. It wouldn't be reasonable to suggest it's then up to politician to make the next move to arrange the appointment – it would be up to you to persist and ask again in three months or so.
A simple counter point here is to suggest that if the politician is genuinely interested, they should tell the person 'Sorry, I'm too busy at the moment, can you try again in a couple of months?'.
Asymmetry of engagement
When I meet a girl who I'm interested in, I'm usually pretty excited about them and think about them a lot, and have to distract myself to avoid texting them too much.
However, it's not necessarily true that she will have a reciprocal level of engagement toward me.
We could put one's levels of engagement on a scale like this:
|In love
|Thinking about future together, what your kids will look like.
|Looking forward to seeing the person again.
|Enjoying the person's company, but don't miss their company when they're not here.
|Either you remember the person but didn't find them particularly interesting, or you don't remember the person.
|You remember the person, but consciously dislike them. You found them offensive.
Now of course this scale is very naive and can't reflect the multidimensional nature of our emotions, but it's a good starting point.
If someone is at the top two tiers of engagement, then they aren't going to have any trouble messaging the person they're interested in, because they're already thinking of them. However, if they're at a lower tier, they the thought might not occur to them.
It's tempting to argue that any successful romantic pair occurs when both parties are excited about each other. But this excludes the possibility that a romance can occur when one party isn't on the other's radar, but increases their level of engagement through persistence. For example, sending a second opening message on online dating, or continuing talking to someone when you see them in mutual social circles.
In online dating, the initial message may very well have been not a particularly interesting one – perhaps the sender was in an uncreative mood at the time, or perhaps they misjudged things. In this circumstance, sending a second message to pique their interest may be a good idea.
Unfortunately on traditional online dating sites like OkCupid, the reciever can see the previous attempt, and that possibly will reflect badly on the sender. A good feature OkCupid could implement is a 'delete previous message' option, though this could be subject to abuse. On Tinder you can unmatch the person, and hope to match again for a clean slate.
Sending a second message
One suggestion is that if one has initiated a request for a date, and for whatever reason it hasn't panned out (plans got changed, or they didn't reply), then to simply move on and accept that the relationship isn't going to happen.
I think this is a naïve strategy that throws the baby out too quickly. It discounts the potential value of initiating a conversation that piques their interest, or discounts that someone might simply have forgotten to reply.
I have a good example to demonstrate this. My older sister met her husband on online dating. They had exchange some messages, but for whatever reason a date didn't pan out.
A few months later, he messaged her again, mentioning that they'd talked before, and this time a date did happen, and less than a year later they were married and pregnant. The husband-to-be in this scenario could have held the thought that 'I've already tried here, it didn't happen, therefore I shouldn't try again'. But as you can see in this example, his sending of a second message did work out for both parties. Edit: my sister clarified that it was her that reinitialised contact by sending him a 'smile'. He then messaged her again and told her that they'd talked before.
As part of my research for this post I googled 'persistent male dating strategy' and found some interesting results.
This Hooking Up Smart article framed and addressed the issue of general persistence well, the question asking:
> I hear so much about how women love to be pursued, but it seems the line between pursuit and stalking, and confidence and desperation, is very thin, with said line moving depending on the girl's preferences.
As well as saying 'It's not one size fits all', one of the cautionary answers given was:
>No woman wants to feel stalked by a desperate male.
This answer strikes at why this subject is worth thinking about. If this dynamic didn't exist then one could just continue sending messages, and it wouldn't really be a problem. Because not many men want women to feel uncomfortable around then, seconding that message requires more consideration. The article deals with persistence in a broader scope and is well worth a read, but let's dial it back to just addressing second messages or date requests in face of either not receiving a reply, or getting a 'I'm busy' with no alternative suggested.
Let's ask and answer why shouldn't you send a second message?
- It'll make them feel uncomfortable/be unpleasant for them.
- It'll be counterproductive to your success – second a second message may make you look desperate, and thus less attractive.
- It'll be unpleasant for you, if you face a second rejection.
When it's framed like this the answer to whether you should send a second message in online dating question is pretty simple. There isn't much harm in sending a second message. Someone isn't going to be instantly creeped out if you send a second message, and so long as you're pretty accepting that you might not get a reply, then there's not much harm to yourself either.
For people you might have already talked to or just met, the answer is similarly casual – a second message isn't going to do much harm, so long as it's friendly and relaxed. A no-reply to the second message does more firmly indicate a conscious decision not to reply.
Unfortunately, the conclusions I have on this dynamic aren't especially… conclusive. There's no hard and fast rule I can suggest. Instead I would suggest that your response depends on how well you know the person.
If it's someone you don't know well, then as I've suggested, sending a second message isn't unwarranted, but at the same time because you don't know each other that well, I'd suggest taking a low cost approach to the second message (ie. Not getting to emotionally invested, don't put a lot of consideration into the second message, and crafting a message such that you're perfectly prepared to get no response).
For someone you know a bit better you can consider if perhaps they're depressed, ('Hey how are things going?'), or reevaluate the nature of your friendship according their response. Generally I would suggest that the longer/better you know someone, the more leeway you can give them before giving up completely.
On the other side of things – if you ever find yourself in a situation where you've forgotten to reply to someone's message and you're still interested in them – acknowledge it – 'Hey sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, how are you?'.
If you're too busy to make a date but are still interested, then be the one to suggest the alternative.That's a very proactive way to maintain and generate a friendship.

UK: Afghan campaign 'until summer'
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The chief of Britain's defence staff says the military campaign in Afghanistan could last until next summer or beyond.
At a news briefing in London on Thursday with UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, Admiral Sir Michael Boyce said it was difficult to predict how long military operations would last.
The campaign could end soon, he said, if the Taliban give up accused terror mastermind Osama bin Laden and there was a government that did not support terrorism.
But in the meantime, he said, there were still targets to be struck in Afghanistan and that Britain was continuing to support the U.S. campaign.
Boyce said the air operation was "impressive" so far but added: "We are very much still at the beginning. We are there for the long haul."
And, asked what the timescale of the campaign was, he said: "We must expect to go through the winter and into next summer at the very least."
Hoon said he was aware of Taliban claims that more than 100 civilians had been killed in the latest strikes. He said those claims could not be independently confirmed but asserted all efforts were being made to avoid civilian deaths.
"There is always going to be a risk, that can not be avoided," he said.
"It is becoming clear that the U.S. and UK carefully targeted strikes are increasingly effective," Hoon said. "We have inflicted damage on bin Laden's organisation, terrorist training camps and the military infrastructure of the Taliban regime that shelters and protects him."
The defence minister said: "It is clear that the coalition is already having an impact on Taliban cohesion. Reports suggest that some of (Taliban supreme leader) Mullah Omar's followers are starting to have second thoughts. Some are clearly defecting."
However, he said the defections were not at a level that would suggest the Taliban are losing control of the government.
Boyce said the coalition had air superiority over Afghanistan, but U.S. and British planes still face threats from portable anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns.
He said British reconnaissance and aerial refuelling planes were supporting the strikes by U.S. combat aircraft.
Boyce said Britain's forces had not launched any combat strikes since its submarines fired cruise missiles at Afghanistan last Sunday and added that there may be a lull in the bombing as the impact of the attacks is assessed.
Hoon: Ground troops an 'option'

Are you looking for an eco friendly bag that is one of a kind, fits your most valuable possessions and is durable enough to carry around with you 24/7? Then Freitag could be what you are looking for!
When you invest in a Freitag bag:
- You help recycle truck tarps that would otherwise be waste products.
- You get a product that is one of a kind, extremely durable and, of course, looks great
- You get bags that are produced in Switzerland and sewn in Switzerland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, France, Portugal and Tunisia. No sweat shops involved!
How it started
When in 1978 their father showed to Markus and Daniel Freitag how composting works, the seed of the recycling concept was planted in their heads. In 1993 they founded Freitag, giving shape to their own idea of recycling.
Freitag each year:
- Re-purposes on average 440 tons of truck tarpaulins, 35,000 bicycle inner tubes and 288,000 car seat-belts
- Offers 40 models in the Freitag Fundamentals collection and 10 models in Freitag Reference collection
- Offers fair wage and healthy working conditions to more than 150 employees
Freitag has an extended documentation of all the processes that go on from the purchase of the used tarp, until it is transformed into a bag. And it is not just about materials, but also about the people who work enthusiastically to get things done.

The Viatorian Youth Congress wrapped up Thursday and it was a milestone. This year's congress marked its 10th anniversary, and Saint Viator High School students and alumni played key roles.
For starters, Mrs. Cathy Abrahamian, a Viatorian associate, brought a delegation of seven current students and another six alumni served as leaders. Br. John Eustice, CSV, and Br. Peter Lamick, CSV, were among the adults involved, while Fr. Corey Brost, CSV, said daily Masses, and he and Fr. Dan Hall, CSV, Provincial, made presentations to the group.
In all, 70 teen delegates and college-aged leaders convened at the Cabrini Retreat Center in Des Plaines. They represented parishes and schools in Arlington Heights, Bourbonnais, Chicago, Kankakee, Las Vegas and Bogotá, Colombia.
Jason Wilhite '15, served as one of two coordinators, helping to guide leaders and delegates through the prayer sessions, group discussions and other activities that make up the four-day congress.
He attended the youth congress in 2013 and 2014, and he returned last year to address delegates about social justice. He credits his faith-based activism, in part, to his experiences at VYC. Next month, he returns to Saint Viator to serve as a campus minister.
"We hope to challenge delegates," Jason said at the outset, "to be more engaged in their faith — and to work for a better world."
The Viatorian Youth Congress originally was conceived to bring together teens from different schools and parishes run by Viatorians, as a way to advance the Viatorian charism.
Now in its 10th year, organizers see the benefits of its faith and leadership development. Its daily activities include keynote presentations, prayer workshops, opportunities to assist in leading liturgy, and small and large group discussions. There's also a talent show, a Taizé prayer service and confessions.
A highlight takes place on the second day when delegates and their leaders visit the Viatorian Province Center. They break up into groups of three to interview and then present to the crowd a Viatorian associate, brother or priest.
"The VYC helps our young faith leaders realize that they are part of a worldwide family," Fr. Corey says, "that is changing the world."

The 2013 NFL Draft is in the books and teams have already finished their OTA's and the next step is training camps, which begin shortly. For fantasy football owners, several of the bigger sports sites have already started the registration process for the upcoming football season and that means it's time to get your self prepared, if you want to win a championship this year.
There are several different methods to drafting a winning team, but in the end it comes down to owners that find those hidden 'Sleepers' in the later rounds. Doing some basic research is one way to find these type of players, but here is a list that could help those owners when your draft roles around later this summer.
Jarrett Boykin of the Green Bay Packers is not a player that will likely get drafted in your league this year. With just five receptions for 27 yards as a rookie last year that makes sense, but the second year professional from Virginia Tech is one of those players primed for a breakout year in 2013. At 6'2" and 218 pounds, Boykin has terrific size, but the better news for him and fantasy football owners is that with the changes the Packers made with their roster this off-season, this young man now finds himself as the team's number four receiver and while that may not excite owners, just look at the numbers from the last couple of years for Green Bay and how their lower tier receivers made significant contributions throughout the year. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers likes to spread the wealth and Boykin could easily mange 30+ receptions, over 600 yards receiving, and 4-6 touchdowns on the year.
Rookie wide receivers are generally a bad idea, but Detroit Lions youngster Patrick Edwards is a player to keep an eye on this year. Edwards will play in the slot for the Lions this season and his burst off the line and terrific hands make him a valuable asset, but the other reason for his status as a sleeper, Detroit throws the ball more than any other team in the league, making this young wide out a terrific selection in the late rounds of any fantasy football draft.
Rob Housler had a good season in his second year in the league last year with 45 receptions for 417 yards, but he didn't have a single touchdown, but that should change now that the Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach that loves to use the pass and the team added veteran quarterback Carson Palmer to the roster this off-season. At 6'5" 250 pounds and with good speed, Housler definitely has the size to become an elite tight end in the league and now he will have a quarterback and offense that will target the 25 year-old much more often in 2013. For those owners looking for a late round steal, this young tight end is a must have on your roster.
These are just three players that should see a significant amount of playing time in the upcoming NFL season and with some hard work and a little luck, they could be the player that propels you to win a title this year and bragging rights with all your friends.

The Green Heart is a nature area surrounded by the Randstad (The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Amsterdam). The area consists of a series of landscapes, water and cities. The Green Heart can be subdivided into several areas, each with its own character, such as the Hollandse Waarden.
The Hollandse Waarden lie between Alphen aan den Rijn, Woerden and Gouda. In this area, you can experience beautiful Dutch scenes as if they were staged especially for you. There are farms where the clothes are still hanging outside to dry with in the background, a pasture of grazing cows, cropped willows and windmills. It can hardly get more Dutch than the Hollandse Waarden.
Meadow Birds in the Hollandse Waarden
The landscape of the Hollandse Waarden includes many meadows and grasslands full of flowers and herbs. This is also the landscape of the meadow birds. The Hollandse Waarden are an important nesting ground for the black-tailed godwit, redshank, northern lapwing and common quail. Thousands of birds spend the winter in the Hollandse Waarden, including the wigeon, goosander and all types of geese.
Fort Wierickerschans
Staatsbosbeheer (the Forestry Agency) manages the Hollandse Waarden and is the proud owner of the Wierickerschans. This is a beautiful fortress located in the Groene Hart and was part of the Dutch Water Line. Today, it houses a visitor center where you can learn all about the nature and history of the landscape, recreation facilities and regional produce. If you decide to make a trip through the Hollandse Waarden, do not forget to visit the fort Wierickerschans.

Facebook Handset Running Android Rumored To Be In Development
Earlier in the week, TechCrunch wrote that an Android-powered Facebook smartphone was rumored to be in development. Later, in a TechCrunch interview with Mark Zuckerberg, Mr. Zuckerberg refuted the rumors that Facebook was building their own smartphone based on a social experience. He went on to say that Facebook's aim is to increase social integration, not compete with the likes of Android and the iPhone.
Zuckerberg also said that Facebook's engineers are not working on such a project, but that they have been working with INQ for a while to better integrate Facebook onto INQ's devices.
Here is a snippet of the interview with Zuckerberg taken from Engadget, where he discusses his vision for a Facebook integrated smartphone:
On phones we can actually do something better. We can do a single sign-on if we do a good integration with a phone, rather than just doing something where you go to an app and it's automatically social or having to sign into each app individually. Those are the two options on the web. Why not for mobile? Just make it so that you log into your phone once, and then everything that you do on your phone is social.
Bloomberg reportedly has three insider sources which claim that Facebook has teamed up with INQ, a smartphone manufacturer, to create two smartphones based around Facebook and Android, but "hasn't decided whether its name will be used on the devices, the person said."
According to Bloomberg, the phones will first be released in Europe somewhere in the first half of next year, followed by the U.S. in the second half of next year. AT&T is considering whether or not to carry the phones.
Gizmodo comments that INQ was "also rumored to be creating a Spotify-specific phone last year, though that didn't pan out once Spotify created apps for Android and iPhone. One thing we can be sure of if Facebook does actually launch their own phones: they're going to be cheap. Cheap 'n nasty."
Confused? Join the crowd. I tried my best, but this whole thing is really confusing. My question is, does anyone here Facebook enough to be interested in buying an integrated Facebook experience as it's main selling point?

Photo Tip of the Week
You Might Be a Real Photographer If ...
Let's face it. If you're reading this, you are probably a photographer yourself or at least hang out with those who are photographers from time to time. But are you a real photographer? Just how committed are you?
If you've taken thousands and thousands of photos but have few if any of yourself, you just might be a real photographer. Personally, I'm far more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. I'm betting that at least some of you can relate.
It may be time to start considering yourself a real photographer if you've spent more on camera gear than on your car. Big glass costs big bucks. And buying a new lens means adding it to your growing collection. Buying a new car means trading in the old one. Sooner or later, the camera and lenses win out.
You might be a real photographer if your tripod cost you more than most people spend on their camera. New photographers rarely budget for a proper tripod, only slowly coming around to appreciating their true worth. If you've graduated to a good one, consider it your badge of honor as a serious photographer.
If someone asks if you shoot people and you know they didn't mistake you for a contract killer, you're at least beginning to think of yourself as a real photographer.
You just might be a real photographer is that goofy sequence of aperture numbers actually makes sense to you. More than a few new photographers give up any idea they may have had about getting serious once they encounter the curious sequence that includes 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. Not everyone wants to take up a hobby that involves dealing with multiples of the square root of two. Extra points will be awarded for thinking it's completely normal for the opening in a lens to get smaller as these aperture numbers get bigger. That's just weird.
You're at least starting to get serious when you realize you never eat breakfast or lunch at a "normal" time because you set your schedule so you don't miss shooting during the "golden hours" or sunrise and sunset. Priorities matter. You're grumbling stomach can wait.
You might be a real photographer if people walk past you on the trail after pausing briefly to puzzle over why you are sitting on the ground with your camera pointed at a mud puddle when the scenic overlook is still another couple hundred yards further along the trail. That overlook will (hopefully) still be there when you're finished with the puddle. If you're still sitting there when those people walk back past you on their return trip to their car, you're definitely serious about your work or else you pulled out your back again from lugging around your heavy camera bag and tripod.
You might be a real photographer if you set the background on your computer monitor to neutral gray so you can more accurately judge colors in the image you are editing. If you paint the walls of the room gray in which you use that computer, you're definitely a serious photographer. Or perhaps just a big fan of primer paint.
If you own more lenses for your camera than you do pairs of pants, you just might be a real photographer. Basically, pants come in only two focal lengths, full length pants, and shorts for when it's warm enough to wear them. Lens focal length needs range the full gamut, regardless of the weather.
If you can use the term "circle of confusion" without being confused yourself, you may be a real photographer. Ditto for "unsharp mask." Don't get me started on "bokeh."
If you've considered naming your first-born child either "TIFF" or "JPEG," you may or may not be a real photographer. But you're definitely at least a tad crazy. Or are those thing really all that different? Sometimes its hard to tell. But just the same, please don't name your kids based on file formats.
You might be a real photographer if you can recognize the potential for good images all around you. Look, over there. What do you see? Now go grab your camera.

Breathing deep of the salty air, Percy Humboldt raised a silver-plated fork, sighed, and took the first bite of a meal he'd waited five decades to
"Mmmm! God, that's good!"
Percy's wife, Ida, looked disgusted.
"Ah!" said a dapper bald waiter to Percy's right. "The gentleman approves?"
"Damn right!" Percy replied, winking at Ida. "Best three grand I ever spent!"
"You have a discerning palette, Mr. Humboldt. Delphinidae a la Provencale. Fresh from this very sea; prepared by our own Chef Grigori."
"Well, my compliments to Chef Greg!"
The waiter grinned. "Excellent, sir. Now, if you require nothing more, I shall take my leave."
"Oh, by all means, go on break. This is tremendous!"
"Enjoy your lunch, then."
"Mmmm-hmm!" Percy moaned around another bite.
Lips pursed, the waiter turned to Ida. "Madam."
Ida forced a smile.
With an expression both curt and smug, the waiter turned on his heels and disappeared below deck.
"Really, Ida," Percy said, shaking his head. "Can't you just relax and have a good time?'
"No. No, I can't."
Percy frowned. "Will you look around, Mrs. Humboldt? Isn't this great?"
Ida shrugged. They'd dined on yachts before, but never quite this luxurious. Of course, she hadn't ordered anything on this floating restaurant. No one in their right mind would. So she'd settled on a cheese and cracker plate, with a white wine spritzer at no extra charge.
"The scenery's fine, Percy."
"Well, look at this gorgeous meal!"
Ida looked. Didn't want to, but she did. Atop a bed of jasmine rice, surrounded by sauteed vegetables, lay a thick slab of pink meat. The casual observer would've mistaken it for salmon or swordfish, but Ida knew better.
Boy, did she.
"The meal's what's making me sick."
Swallowing another bite, Percy smiled. "You sure it's not just the motion of the ocean?"
"Oh, God."
"Ha!" Chortling, Percy threw back his head. A big man, his jowls and neck shuddered with each breath. "See what I did there, Ida? I did that on porpoise!"
Ida sipped her wine. "Gong! You're through, Mr. Humboldt."
Still laughing, Percy reached for his large glass of beer. Ida snickered as he guzzled half of it in three swallows, then belched.
"That does it. I think I'm gonna write a poem about you."
"Yeah? You mean like, uh, Shakespeare or somethin'?"
"Um, more like a Homerian epic. I have the perfect title: Rhyme Of The Ancient Glutton."

The existence of benthic animals on a body of water, is strongly influenced by various environmental factors, both biotic and abiotic. Biotic factors that influence them is a manufacturer, which is a food source for benthic animals. The abiotic factors are physical-chemical water such as: temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical (COD), and the amount of nitrogen (N), water depth, and the base substrate.
Zoobentos an animal that part or all of their life cycle in the bottom waters, either sessile, crawling and digging holes (Odum 1993). Animals holds several important roles in water as in the process of decomposition and mineralization of organic material into surface waters, as well as occupying several trophic levels in the food chain (Odum, 1993). Benthos holds several important roles in water as in the process of decomposition and mineralization of organic material into surface waters and occupying several trophic levels in the food chain.
Suwondo et al, (2004) also suggested that Benthos an aquatic organism whose presence can be used as indicators of changes in the biological quality of river waters. In addition, benthic organisms can also be used as a biological indicator in studying the river's ecosystem. This is due to different responses to an incoming pollutants in river waters and is immobile.
Benthos itself has various characteristics which include, according Sudarjanti and Wijarni (2006) are:
a) have a different tolerance to various types of pollution and have an immediate reaction.
b) found abundant in the waters, especially in the river ecosystem, affected by various types of pollutants that exist.
c) have a high diversity and have a response to environmental stress.
d) attached to the bottom of the aquatic life.
e) have a long life cycle.
Pictures. Planaria
Based on its size, the animal organism classified on the benthos:
a) Makrobentos (0, 425-15 mm)
b) Meiobentos (0.05 to 1 mm)
c) Mikrobentos (<50 μ, for example protozoa, rotifers and nematodes)
Organisms which includes macrozoobenthos are: Crustacea, Isopoda, Decapoda, Oligochaeta, molluscs, nematodes and annelids. Taxa-taxa that has a very important function in aquatic communities because most of it occupies the second or the third trophic level. While others have an important role in the mineralization process and recycling of organic materials, both from aquatic and from the mainland.
Pictures. Lymnaea
Mahmudi, et al, (1999), also confirm that the macrozoobenthos has an important role in the ecosystem of the river, namely:
(1) can provide information regarding the transfer and use of energy in the ecosystem of the river,
(2) possession of a role in the process of self-purification of the river, and
(3) can be used to benefit the restoration of river waters by creating habitats that encourage colonization macrozoobenthos. Macrozoobenthos community even become a source of energy for the fishery in the river ecosystem.

for April, 2015
Pat's Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant HendersonApr 21 2015
Earlier this month, we spent the better part of a beautiful day out in the Louisiana swamps, quietly cruising around the little hidden parts of the Atchafalaya bayou for some of best bird and gator-watching the state has to offer. Huge trees with thick, ribbed trunks densely populate long stretches of the swamp, with long tendrils of Spanish moss clinging onto branches in all directions, gently swaying with the breeze. From far, they almost look like cobwebs, a perfect haunt for the famous ghosts and otherworldly spirits of Louisiana. Further adding to the unique landscape are sharp stumps jutting up from the water in clusters, the remainders of clear cut trees from years ago.
SP Chicken Chiang MaiApr 12 2015
Chiang Mai is heralded by food critics and top chefs as the holy mecca of Thai food. After watching Anthony Bourdain and Andy Ricker destroy the plates of roast chicken while praising this place non-stop, we knew we had to make a trip while we were in the city.

JS errors in MFP Windows Universal apps when using AngularJS
Vinod Appajanna May 01, 2016MobileFirst_Platform Windows_8
Have you experienced the "add dynamic content Errors" in MFP Windows Universal apps?
When you are building a Mobilefirst Hyrid app using frameworks like AngularJS, you will see some errors on the Windows universal platform. Windows Universal apps are built as Win JS apps. the WinJS Universal apps are built on the Windows 8 WinRT platform. The reason behind this is that these frameworks relies on innerHtml that injects the dynamic contents. For security reason on Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows Surface / Desktop 8.1 apps Microsoft doesn't allow to inject scripts this way.
Running such apps results in the below error:
Unhandled exception at line 12229, column 11 in ms-appx://b5fb28e5-26bc-40e7-b0b8-91afcaef904d/www/default/lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js0x800c001c - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to add dynamic content. A script attempted to inject dynamic content, or elements previously modified dynamically, that might be unsafe. For example, using the innerHTML property to add script or malformed HTML will generate this exception. Use the toStaticHTML method to filter dynamic content, or explicitly create elements and attributes with a method such as createElement. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=247104
To avoid or ignore such errors while using the frameworks in your app, Microsoft provides a way to disable the scripts injection validation. It can be disabled by just wrapping the function that injects the content dynamically with MSApp.execUnsafeLocalFunction and in this way your code works without errors.
MSApp.execUnsafeLocalFunction(function() { var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]; body.innerHTML = '
example
'; });
The only problem in here is that we will have to search and replace it in all the places in the framework files and this causes maintenance overheads and is error prone.
Can we avoid modifying the framework files and still make the app work ? Yes, we have tried our sample with one of the below JavaScript dynamic content Shim. It works just by including the JavaScript file before any your framework file is loaded.Include the JavaScript Dynamic Content shim for Windows Store apps in your app to address this issue.
Refer the below Microsoft links for more information on how to build a secured WinJS apps
Also note that when it comes to Silverlight apps (MFP Windows Phone 8) this restriction doesn't exist.
