Steingraeber & Söhne
The story begins in 1820's Germany. At that time, Gottlieb Steingraeber had a pianoforte factory in Arnshauck, Thuringia. His nephew, Eduard Steingraeber, apprenticed in the factory, and in 1852 passed his Master Craftsman's exam. Five months later, on August 17, 1852, he moved the factory to Bayreuth, Bavaria. It was in Bayreuth that Eduard completed his "Opus 1", a revolutionary masterpiece in which he combined Viennese and English mechanical systems.
Within the span of three decades he built the firm into Bavaria's largest and most important upright and grand piano maker, at the service of the Bavarian Royal House and the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg. The company has been a regular recipient of international awards since 1867. The legendary model 205 was manufactured in 1873 particularly for composer Franz Liszt. It was in 1875 that Richard Wagner ordered his personal piano from Steingraeber. The following year Steingraeber supplied pianos for the first Bayreuth Festival and the Wagner family. Then in 1881, Wagner commissioned a special piano for the temple scenes in "Parsifal". The instrument was used at the premiere performance and then intermittently at the Bayreuth Festival until 1974.
The third generation began when Eduard's sons, Georg and Burkhard, join the company in 1892. Both brothers dedicate themselves to the development of keyboard instrument making. Georg became the creative head of the family. His designs have been preserved in the latest E-272, D-232, C-212 and A-170 models. Burkhard later takes over sole management of the factory (he is memorialized in the model 130 upright piano) and in 1901 receives an Imperial patent for the invention of the "grand piano mechanism with new repetition springs". World-renowned designers began to fashion Steingraeber piano cabinets in 1906.
In the early part of the 20th century, Burkhard's daughter Lilly Steingraeber and her husband, the music historian Dr. Heinz Hermann, join forces to lead the firm. Their nephew, Heinrich Schmidt-Steingraeber, joins the company in 1932. Together with his wife Magdalene, they later takes the reins throughout the post-war and reconstruction periods, modernizing the factory in 1960 and producing new models of grand pianos.
Heinrich and Magdalene's son, Udo Schmidt-Steingraeber, becomes manager of the factory in 1980 – the sixth generation. Since then, Steingraeber has expanded to the worldwide market, attending their first fair in China in 1984 and in the USA in 1985. New construction designs have been conceived and special developments have been formed, including pedals for disabled persons, ecological pianos, and anti-allergy pianos.
One of the most recent advancements was the manufacture of the first "PHOENIX" grand piano in 2006, according to the patent of British inventor Richard Dain. The PHOENIX bridge agraffe system with adjustable hitch pins creates a brighter harmonic spectrum, increasing sustain, volume and clarity. This grand piano design has been enhanced with additional pianissimo function, by reduced hammer blow distance, of the una corda pedal (half-blow pedal). A carbon fiber soundboard improves tuning stability and piano durability.
For the past 20 years, Steingraeber & Söhne has received more awards than any other piano company for excellence, including the prestigious Paris Piano "Best of the Very Best" award. Through the years the family tradition has remained. So have the international awards, the historic residence of the firm and, above all, the goodwill of important artists worldwide. Again and again, Steingraeber & Söhne has led the way in new developments that inspire the construction of world-class instruments.

The United Kingdom's future was yesterday entrusted to Chancellor George Osborne... and he "couldn't care less".
Mr Osborne is known in Westminster circles to have long believed that the Tories would be much better off without Scotland. But PM David Cameron yesterday put him in charge of a bid to stop Scottish independence.
Labour MP Tom Blenkinsop blasted: "The Tories don't believe in British identity. George Osborne is the couldn't-care-less Chancellor in charge of the couldn't-care-less Government."
If the Scots vote to go it alone, the Tories will have a better chance of a majority at the next election. If they vote to stay in the Union, sources say Mr Osborne can claim victory.
SNP leader Alex Salmond wants to hold a vote on independence on the 700th anniversary of the battle of Bannockburn, when Scotland defeated England on June 24, 1314.
Mr Cameron said: "If Alex Salmond wants a referendum, why do we wait until 2014? This is very damaging for Scotland because businesses are asking, 'Is Scotland going to stay part of the UK? Should I invest?'"
However, the PM's plans to impose an 18-month time limit on a vote look set to be abandoned when Scottish Secretary Michael Moore outlines the official position today.
A spokesman for Mr Salmond, Scotland's First Minister, said: "The more the UK Government interferes, the stronger support for independence will become."

Is it possible to add a feature that allows a course to have a fixed reoccurring due date regardless of when the learner may take the course?
I have many courses that are required to be "refreshed" every year. In the plant, we have split them into monthly programs to help break up the time burden. As they are set right now, they expire 12 months after they are taken. As one can imagine, courses are often taken after the due date, which then sets them to expire outside the month they were to be done in the following year. If they finish them before the due date, it generates early notices and earlier due dates. These courses are also required of all new hires within 30 days of hiring.
For Example:
Course is due Jan 31, 2019, required to be refreshed every year. Notice of re-enrolment is 30 days.
Situation 1:
Learner takes course April 1, 2019. (late) New due date for learner is April 1, 2020 and learner is notified March 1, 2020. Learner completes the course again on March 15, 2020. In 2020 learner is in actuality 1.5 months past the plant established due date, but shows current in Bridge.
Situation 2:
Learner takes course Jan 5, 2019. New due date is January 5, 2020 and learner is notified December 7, 2020. Learner takes the course again December 15, 2020, new due date is December 15, 2021 and learner is notified November 20, 2022. By 2022 course is being taken two months before the plant established due date and in the middle of our busiest season.
Situation 3:
New hire takes all 24 required training in the month of July, 2019. For 2020, all course due dates are in July and notification comes out in June 2020. In reality, only two courses have a pant established due date for July, 10 courses were to have been completed prior to July, and the balance come later in the year.
These situations leads to poor reporting of monthly compliance, and the only work around is to review all 500 learners, the 24 courses, and manually reset their due dates. That is 12,000 items to check by the administrator.
Is it possible to add a feature that allows a course to have a fixed reoccurring due date regardless of when the learner may take the course?

Charitable giving in Demopolis, Alabama is the giving of money or some other asset to a charitable cause.
The simplest way to make a charitable gift is to just give the money or property directly to the organization you want to help.
Some people, however, may be especially dedicated to a certain cause, giving rise to a desire to donate a very large percentage of their assets to it. However, during life, this is usually infeasible, since people have their own expenses that they have to cover. So, people often put off this donation until after their death.
If you decide to make a sizable donation to a charity that will not actually occur until after your death, the easiest (and most typically-used) method is to simply leave the desired amount of money or property to the charitable organization in your will.
Charitable Trusts in Demopolis, Alabama
Charitable trusts are usually used for very large donations, and can be made during the donor's life, or after their death.
The money is still technically owned by the donor, but the charity, serving as a trustee, has the permission to use it for charitable purposes, with the exact scope of this right having been laid out in the trust agreement.
In Demopolis, Alabama, a "charitable remainder trust" is the most frequent kind of charitable trust. This allows the money or property to immediately pass to the charity of the donor's choice, so they can benefit from it as soon as possible. The charity takes the money, and invests it (generally in reliable, but not necessarily high-yield, investments). They keep most of the income that this generates, but return a portion of it to the donor on a regular basis, for a set period of time. When this time runs out, the original donation, along with all the income it will produce, becomes the legal property of the charity, to dispose of as it pleases.
You should make sure the charity is registered with the Internal Revenue Service, and (if applicable) the taxation authority of .
Do I Need a Demopolis, Alabama Attorney?
When attempting to create a charitable trust, or make another charitable donation, the first thing you should do is discuss this with the organization you want to make the donation to. They will probably be able to advise you on how to donate your money in the way that will be most useful to them. And, of course, you should speak with an attorney in Demopolis, Alabama, who will usually be able to make the process much easier.

Podcast: Download (Duration: 1:16:23 — 104.9MB)
Cultures give us guardrails for behavior, beyond which we can only pass with difficulty. They also give us what to say in a difficult situation, a script that helps us to get the words out, even gives us a template for how to behave. Sometimes these guardrails shift, and the scripts and templates are rewritten.
In her new book, Inventing Disaster: The Culture of Calamity, from the Jamestown Colony to the Jonestown Flood, Cynthia Kierner describes the ways in which people (particularly in North America) gradually began to speak of disaster in the way that we do now. From the "starving time" at Jamestown in 1609, to the Johnstown Flood of 1889, Kierner chronicles not the disasters themselves so much as the response to the disaster. The results might surprise you. "Although how we interpret and respond to disasters has changed in some ways since the nineteenth century, Kierner demonstrates that, for better or worse, the intellectual, economic, and political environments of earlier eras forged our own twenty-first-century approach to disaster, shaping the stories we tell, the precautions we ponder, and the remedies we prescribe for disaster-ravaged communities."
Cynthia A. Kierner is Professor of History at George Mason University, and author of many books including Martha Jefferson Randolph, Daughter of Monticello.

Last weekend there was a professional photographer at our Rally Trial. He took photos of the Rally contestants and has posted them on his website. Some of them are really good. Here are just a few of Denali doing her Rally thing. This is the first time we've ever had professional photos of us and it was fun to see them!
It was actually raining lightly when we arrived and stopped just before we went into the ring. If we look a little damp, we were! It was also cold. I had on about four shirt layers! Great temps for a fluffy! Denali loved it!
See all of our photos in the Excellent-B class.

Five Things Friday #13
It's Friday!
I am pretty pumped for this weekend because tomorrow I will head to Baltimore to check out Expo East and I am really excited to meet up with new people and grab some swag. I have been wanting to go since last year when I first learned about it. Check back Monday for both the recap and the winner of my PRO Compression giveaway (ENDS AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!). If you haven't entered yet, click here to do so.
Let's kick off Friday with some things I am loving this week:
1. Running in the USA
So I ran my first half marathon last weekend. (I'm sure you had NO IDEA). After I finished, I wanted to run more. As it turns out, Chelsea at Chelsea Eats Treats published this post right after that and I learned about the site Running in the USA. When looking up more races to run, I was doing random Google searches which took up a lot of my time. This site is an inventory of all different race distances across the country and the best part about it for me is the visual representation. I work really well with visuals, so seeing where the races are and being able to hover over the pins to see the dates made it really easy.
I especially love it because my friend Carly and I have decided that if/when I move we want to travel to different destinations to catch up and also run races at the same time. This site makes it really easy to do that!
2. Love Grown Foods Oats w/ Chia
I received this gluten free oatmeal from Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean when we were Foodie Pen Pals one month and I have just recently gotten around to eating it. It is full of awesome ingredients like chia, amaranth, quinoa, nuts, and seeds. It is incredibly hearty and I have been flavoring it with either sucanant or maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and some dried plums. This has been my dinner the past two nights and it is great. Before I ate scrambled eggs and mushrooms everyday for breakfast, I used to have oatmeal with pumpkin pie spice. Throwback.
3. Lifestyle Accountability Show Podcast
I looked back over my past posts and I think I completely forgot to talk about being featured on the Lifestyle Accountability Show! I had the privilege of being interviewed by Adam and Devon Bates, two brothers who put on this show. If you are looking for motivation or inspiration, check out all the stories from these fabulous guests! If you want to cozy up with a warm beverage and a blanket and spend 34 minutes and 56 seconds with me, click here. IT'S LIKE WE'RE HANGING OUT!
4. Harry Potter
This may seem random, but Neil has not seen the Harry Potter movies and so we have been marathoning them since last weekend. I forgot how much I loved them (and the books!), so they have definitely been a favorite this week. LOOK AT THAT BABY.
5. Half Marathons
I can't promise that this will be the last time I will talk about my race, but it was definitely one of my favorite things of the week since my last FTF. I can't wait to do more and cover myself in more swag. How many times can I use the word swag in this post?
I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words after yesterday's post. There are definitely a lot of hypotheticals, but I know as long as we keep doing the work and taking things as they come, it'll all work out!!
Question of the day: What are some of your favorite things this week?

Drill Teams
As an Air Force cadet corps, our unit participates in various challenging and enjoyable activities and competitions. One in particular that Rocklin/Whitney High School is known for is Drill Competitions. Held in high regard are our strategies from distinctive drilling and preparation to team building and bonding. Our theory is the team is as strong as its weakest member therefore the team aids one another and progresses and becomes stronger as one.
In preparation for Drill Competition twice a year we endure rigorous training with a Color Guard, Armed and Unarmed team. Three months prior to the competition we begin practice which includes dignified drilling, physical training and Midnight Madness. Throughout practice appointed Drill Team Commanders teach their teams their Regulation and Exhibition routines as well as a random inspection. Along with drilling we do P.T., which includes hundreds of pushups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, leg-lifts, mountain-climbers, running etc. All the while we have our former ASI Master Sergeant Romero screaming "pain is weakness leaving the body," as a way to unify our entire team as one and help each other to accomplish our main goal of being the best that we can be. All of this is in preparation for a long held tradition called Midnight Madness. Where we show Sergeant Wilkinson, A.K.A Diablo and Master Sergeant Romero what we've been working on for the past three months. We go through all three phases of the competitions: inspection, regulation and exhibition. The kind of inspection that Diablo and Sergeant Romero gives us is an in-your-face, hardcore inspection, where we just get ripped apart. This is prepare you us with the discipline we need to excel in a Drill Competition, JROTC and life in general. Therefore the preparation for a Drill Competition consists of perfecting Drill maneuvers, intense physical training and Midnight Madness.
However, not all preparation for a Drill Competition is hardcore...

So I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with the Kinect. I got one for christmas, and I still haven't had time to do much with it. I'm a huge music person, and I'd like to create an interactive audio visualizer that takes input from body movement instead of perceivable audio qualities (volume, frequency waveforms, etc…). I think that using gestural input from a person dancing, conducting, or otherwise rocking out to music would provide a much more natural input, since it would accurately reflect the individual's response to the audio. I can imagine pointing a Kinect at a club full of dancing people and using their movement to drive a wall-sized visualization. It'd be a beautifully human representation of the music.
I've been Googling to see if anyone is doing something like this already, and I haven't been able to find anything really compelling. People have wired the Kinect through TUIO to drive fluid systems and particle emitters, but not for the specific purpose of representing a piece of music. I don't find these very impressive, because they're really dumbing down the rich input from the Kinect. They just treat the users' hands as blobs, find their centers, and use those as multitouch points. It must be possible to do something more than that. But I haven't tried yet, and I want everything to be real-time – so maybe not
Here are a few visual styles I've been thinking of trying to reproduce. The first is a bleeding long-exposure effect that was popularized by the iPod commercials a few years ago. Though it seems most people are doing this in After Effects, I think I can do it in OpenGL or maybe Processing:
This is possibly the coolest visualization I've seen in a while. However, it was done in 3D Studio Max with the Krakatoa plugin, and everything was painstakingly hand-scripted into a particle system. I love the way the light shoots through the particles (check out 0:16), though. I'd like to create something where the user's hands are light sources… It'd be incredibly slick.
I'm not sure how to approach implementing something like this, and I'm still looking for existing platforms that can give me a leg-up. I have significant OpenGL experience and I've done fluid dynamics using Jos Stam's Navier-Stokes equation solver, so I could fuse that to a custom renderer to get this done, but I'd like to focus on the art and input and let something else handle the graphics, so suggestions are welcome!

Pakenham Shire
Pakenham Shire (1973-94), an area of 874 sq km in west Gippsland, was created on 1 October 1973 by severance from Berwick Shire. Berwick Shire's offices were in Pakenham, having been moved to there in 1912.
From north to south the shire extended from north of Gembrook to the middle of the former Koo Wee Rup Swamp. From west to east it extended from Beaconsfield to the Bunyip River.
The shire's close settlement was along the Gippsland railway (1877). Twenty years later there was a string of village settlements along the Main Drain Road (Koo Wee Rup Swamp), notably Iona and Cora Lynn. The northern hill country had been a rich source of firewood, and its farm communities were scattered.
When the shire was created in 1973, Berwick was changing from a country town to an outer metropolitan suburb, and its neighbours (Hallam, Narre Warren etc) were closely following it. The town of Pakenham had about 2000 people in 1971, with a racecourse/showground next to the shops and railway station. Within 20 years the town had nearly 6000 people.
Pakenham Shire was amalgamated with about half of Cranbourne Shire, completely taking in the fertile Koo Wee Rup farm lands, in 1994. The new shire, named Cardinia, reaches from the Puffing Billy tourist railway to the shores of Western Port Bay.
Relevant census population data was:

Title: That Summer
Author: Lauren Willig
Genre: Historical Fiction, Fiction
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Publication Date: June 3, 2014
Pages: 352
2009: When Julia Conley hears that she has inherited a house outside London from an unknown great-aunt, she assumes it's a joke. She hasn't been back to England since the car crash that killed her mother when she was six, an event she remembers only in her nightmares. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house—with the help of her cousin Natasha and sexy antiques dealer Nicholas—bits of memory start coming back. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe, and a window onto the house's shrouded history begins to open…1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man, Arthur. The one bright spot in her life is her step-daughter, Evie, a high-spirited sixteen year old who is the closest thing to a child Imogen hopes to have. But everything changes when three young painters come to see Arthur's collection of medieval artifacts, including Gavin Thorne, a quiet man with the unsettling ability to read Imogen better than anyone ever has. When Arthur hires Gavin to paint her portrait, none of them can guess what the hands of fate have set in motion.From modern-day England to the early days of the Preraphaelite movement, Lauren Willig's That Summer takes readers on an un-put-downable journey through a mysterious old house, a hidden love affair, and one woman's search for the truth about her past—and herself.
I will read anything that Lauren Willig writes. I mean it can be about a chipmunk who wants to be an astronaut and I'm sure it would be fantastic. I've been reading Lauren's books for years now. It all started with her Pink Carnation Series, specifically this one. I even remember when and where I picked it up. I was a sophomore in college and browsing titles in my local Barnes and Noble. I came across The Secret History of the Pink Carnation and I was extremely intrigued–French spies? Men in Breeches? A young woman studying in London?
I mean hello.
I devoured that book and from then on, I was hooked. I even got my friend Jess on the Lauren band wagon. We now show up to practically all her readings and have gotten to know her. Lauren even helped Jess with one of her school assignments. (Notice how awesome she is at this point?) Most of Lauren's books, up until recently, have been part of the Pink Carnation series. Each cover has a specific flower inspired spy. At (almost) every reading, Jess and I try to coordinate our outfits to the color of flower on the cover. We then have to take a picture with Lauren. It's gotten to be a tradition that the three of us can't break (otherwise it would spell disaster–duh). See evidence below:
Like I mentioned earlier, Lauren started delving into some stand alone novels that don't take place during the Napoleonic era. The Ashford Affair was her first (which was fantastic–I highly recommend it) followed by That Summer.
That Summer takes place in 2009 and 1849, telling the stories of two very different women–Julia and Imogen. Julia has inherited a house in England from an aunt she doesn't remember. She's forced to face some painful memories from her past in heading back to England. Once in the house, she discovers a family secret and treasure hidden for years. Imogen is the unhappy wife in a loveless marriage. When her husband asks Gavin Thorne to commission a portrait of her, events are sparked that could change the fate of both women.
Ohhh the feels with this book! I literally called Jess the minute I finished it.
Me: Jess!! Ahh!
Jess: I know, Cris. I know.
Me: But…
Such a fantastic story. It will leave you with all the feelings. You have an idea of where the ending is headed and then it completely goes in the opposite direction.
The characters are extremely engaging and you find your self deeply invested in each woman's storyline. You emphasize with Julia and want her to face the past she's so determinedly ignored while hoping Imogen finally finds the love and attention she so rightfully deserves. The two storylines eventually intertwine (which you knew they would), but the journey to that point is filled with discoveries, twists and turns, and of course beautiful paintings.
This book will leave you feeling appreciative of the things you have and the desire and fearlessness to achieve the things you want.

methinks I should hear with indifference if a trustworthy messenger were to inform me that the sun drowned himself last night
Thoreau's Journal: 09-Nov-1858
The newspaper tells me that Uncannunuc was white with snow for a short time on the morning of the 7th. Thus steadily but unobserved the winter steals down from the north, till from our highest hills we can discern its vanguard. Next week, perchance, our own hills will be white. Little did we think how near the winter was. It is as if a scout had brought in word that an enemy were approaching in force only a day's march distant. Manchester was the spy this time, which has a camp at the base of that hill. We had not thought seriously of winter; we dwelt in fancied security yet.

Sosh expands to New York, helping you discover the best things to do nearby
Sosh, a San Francisco-based service which surfaces the highest quality activities and events nearby, has just launched in New York — its second city.
Sosh's iPhone app and site highlight the best things to do nearby, including the top dishes, cocktails, date ideas, concerts, classes and more. Focusing entirely on things to do and not places to go, the service differs from sites like Yelp which largely operate as venue directories.
After testing it first-hand in New York, we found the experience was smoother through the service's iPhone app than online — the latter somehow set us as a San Francisco native after visiting the settings page and made it difficult to adjust. Other quirks like not being able to rename the default collections were frustrating, but not deal-breakers.
Sosh isn't alone in its activity-driven methods. How About We and GroupMe Experiences, for example, function similarly, but are in the game for different reasons — Sosh doesn't sell anything and doesn't pre-purchase packages; it's simply about the discovery. You won't find daily deals here.
The company may be new to New York, but its team of former Googlers appear to have done insanely well in its first city; apparently 1 in 8 adults between the ages of 21 and 40 (in San Francisco, of course) are members of Sosh. These are impressive stats, to be sure, and now the service is ready to leave a mark on New York before venturing into Chicago, Boston and LA.

Sisters! Why have you decided to turn yourselves into the Joker's long lost sibling even though your brows ain't smiling? With magical potions like concealers, foundations, glitters and your wands – the brushes you use to apply the makeup, you can perform a transfiguration spell that would give Professor McGonagall a run for her money.
Sisters why are some of us the enemies of our faces? Why don't we ever let our faces breath? I have seen ladies with heavy makeup and simple outfits at the stockfish market and I watched in amusement as they tug, curse, sweat and struggle among the throngs of people that mile around the place. The thick layer of foundation which slide down to their neck as they clamp their polythene bags to their chest while they struggle out of the market. I once saw an acquaintance looking sickly, I stopped what I was doing to express my concern over her disheveled and unhealthy look, to my surprise she told me she was perfectly okay. 'Oh! It's probably because I am not putting on makeup, two people have told me the same already' she chuckled.
Sisters, we keep complaining about how our boyfriends are no longer romantic. How they don't give us beautiful out of the blues angelic kisses on the forehead. Playful pecks on the cheeks and passionate quick kisses on the lips. Haha, aunty? Why are you wicked? You want somebody's son to use his lips to wipe that expensive mud off your face? Fear God o.
This makeup hullabaloo led to the breakup of somebody who knew somebody who is friends with somebody that I know. It was said that the brother had gone to pay his babe a surprise visit at her PPA, she was a corper then, the babe on seeing him jumped at him and hugged him tightly. Sweet huhn? Not! Because the lady was plastered in makeup which she smeared on his expensive white chet (shirt)! The brother was furious and that led to the relationship going kaput.
'Slay queen, did you know she wakes up as early as 3am to start applying her makeup after bathing before the soldiers start their wahala when we were in camp?' The somebody added
Most of us can't do without this slimy facial torture that we wear it to bed when we visit bae. Little wonder some marriages pack up after few weeks due to real face and unreal face brouhaha. Why do you think the grooms you awwn at during weddings cry and their brides have a face that doesn't look like it would give way to some wet emotions? It is because the brother is thinking of what could be lying beneath the flawless face as she walk down the aisle while a sister gotta keep the face dry cus the makeup runs into hundreds of thousands of naira.
Just imagine what would happen if Buhari declares a makeup free day in Nigeria. News of suicides, heart attacks and general mayhem at different parts of the country would fill the newspapers. Imagine a scenario between a boss used to his employee's made up face.
'Miss, maybe you are at the wrong place, I repeat you are not Kemi Junaid, the lady who works for me is light in complexion.'
'But sir, we both closed the account of the Garba company before I left for my house on Friday and I could remember Mr O.T called you to book an appointment for…'
'It is you oooo. What happened to your face? Gas explosion? Oh dear'
'Not sir, it's just… The… You know sir… '
'Ha! Buhari's makeup free day? I don't even understand this government again. The files I want you to… Hold on please let me pick this call.'
'Hello Femostic'
'Hello Ay' the voice from the other end croaked, 'A strange woman is here in my house and she said she is my wife.'
'Hahaha, have you forgotten what today is? Hahaha, I leave you to find out. Please don't call me after.'
That was how one of my Uncle's wife earned the nickname Mother Gagool the day he came with her to my little cousin's birthday. The colour block thing was the rave then and she was dressed in a bright pink gown, blue bag, yellow shoes, a blonde afro wig and a heavily made up face – a brow faced Abuja while the other defiantly faced Bayelsa, her screaming red lipstick completed the look. Oh boy, we all started laughing when we saw her. As she ballooned from one side of the compound to the other the kids playing burst into laughter. Perhaps they thought she was the clown that had came to entertain them.
Dearest sisters, I am not saying makeup is bad. I never said you shouldn't wear makeup but we should be moderate in everything we do. Too much application of makeup ruins our skin and make us age faster than we should. Half a word…

The Issue: How to rethink the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to get the project finished.
With coruscating directness, The Post has shown the way forward regarding the 9/11 Memorial and Museum ("A More Modest Museum," Editorial, June 18).
Because of the Port Authority and the Memorial Foundation, the process has been fraught with political influence resulting in a corrigendum that only federal control can rectify.
Is this to be a monument to America, or just one to the politicians and the powerful?
James McCaffrey
Since 1905, the Daughters of the Texas Revolution have maintained the famous Alamo in downtown San Antonio. It includes an IMAX theater, picnic grounds, museum, gift shop, security and volunteer guides.
It welcomes over 2 million visitors a year and depends entirely on private contributions and gift shop sales.
The difference is that in Texas they did not feel it was their place to replace history with a monumental vanity project. In sophisticated New York, however, we are much wiser — and broke.
Michael Burke
The Bronx
Kudos to The Post for its excellent editorial — it's exactly what many 9/11 families, including mine, have been advocating for during the past 10 years.
However, the Memorial Foundation has consistently ignored all input from the majority of families. The Post's suggestion to bring the museum above ground and into the light is what we always appealed for.
And the frenzy to put a performing arts center at Ground Zero is a sacrilegious and wasteful plan that must be stopped.
It is amazing that the politicians, stuffed suits and fat cats could not think of this most appropriate solution, while The Post has done it for free.

A new online polls suggests that 71 per cent of British Columbians support moving Family Day to the third Monday in February.
The poll, conducted by Insights West, asked 803 British Columbian adults whether they would support or oppose changing the Family Day to the third Monday in February.
Only 13 per cent said no, while 16 per cent were undecided.
B.C. first started observing the holiday in 2013, after then-Premier Christy Clark followed up on an election promise.
"Creating a Family Day in B.C. was an important priority for me. Today, my government is following through on that commitment and I am proud and delighted to let families across B.C. know that our very first Family Day will be on Monday, Feb. 11, 2013," said Clark when the holiday was announced in 2012.
Seven other provinces observe the holiday on the third Monday of February.
But the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce is opposed to the change.
In a statement emailed last week, executive director Jana Thompson said that the Chamber supported keeping the holiday on the second Monday of February so as to spread out traffic in Revelstoke over two weekends.
"The economic impact to Revelstoke is massive," she said.
A Change.org petition started by a Vancouver entrepreneur to change the date to the third Monday currently has more than 22,000 signatures.
Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Doug Clovechok told Black Press in October that he does not support the change.
"It's not putting the interests of British Columbians ahead of others. Everyone knows prices fluctuate on the busier holidays. Now it's more expensive for BCers to go skiing, go out to dinner, whatever," he said. "It does not float well for rural B.C."
When the holiday was first put forward, the government consulted with the tourism industry, business owners and chambers of commerce, said Clovechok.
At the time,the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce supported having the holiday on a different day than Alberta.
"That's what the majority of our members wanted," then executive director Judy Goodman told the Review. "That's good news for us."
It meant that in Revelstoke, which is close to the Alberta border, the demand for hotel rooms, lift tickets and restaurant tables would be spread out over two weekends instead of stacking them over one weekend.
B.C. premier John Horgan first said in an interview with News 1130 in October that he is considering changing the date of Family Day.
The potential change has been spoken against by many ski resorts in the province as well as the Tourism Industry Association of BC.

People print or save webpages for a couple of good reasons.
Sometimes it's because you need to have a permanent record of something you've done: a receipt after making a purchase, or a confirmation that you've filed your taxes or booked a rental car.
Other times, you want to be certain that a copy of a page that will be accessible when you're offline. This might be a boarding pass, a set of directions, or the simplest case: an article to read.
On current mobile devices it's rarely straightforward to print, and dealing with a saved folder of saved HTML, CSS, and images isn't really what's called for in the scenarios I've described. It also doesn't make much sense on devices that, for good reason, try to de-emphasize file systems.
Fennec 1.1 tries to fill this void with a Save As PDF option in the new site menu:
On the N900, selecting "Save As PDF" will bring up a save dialog:
The saved PDF will show up in the Fennec download manager, so that you don't have to go hunting for it in the file system:
Tapping "Open" will bring it up in the device's PDF reader:

Singapore shipping giant starts using marine gas oil
April 14, 2011 12:55 am
SINGAPORE, April 13 — Singapore shipping giant Neptune Orient Lines will start using marine gas oil as the new fuel is cleaner and greener than traditional heavy fuel oil.
"As Singapore's largest carrier, we feel a responsibility to manage the environmental impact of global trade," said Eng Aik Meng, president of APL, the shipping line of Neptune Orient Lines.
The new fuel produces less sulphur oxides, local daily Straits Times reported.
The fuel conversion is one of the steps expected to be taken by maritime players in Singapore to make the industry greener and cleaner under an incentive scheme announced by Transport Minister Raymond Lim at the ongoing Singapore Maritime Week.
The government has earmarked 100 million Singapore dollars (79. 4 million U.S. dollars) in the next five years for the Maritime Singapore Green Initiative, which will be administered by the Maritime and Port Authority.
The scheme will have three portions targeting different players, including the Green Port Program that encourages ships to burn cleaner fuel at Singapore's port by allowing them to pay less in port dues if they use such fuel.
The Green Ship Program will allow Singapore-flagged ships to pay less in fees and taxes if they adopt ship designs that reduce fuel consumption.
There is also the Green Technology program that gives maritime companies funding support to develop and adopt green technologies.
The maritime sector contributes about seven percent of the gross domestic product of Singapore and employs more than 170,000 people in the city state. (PNA/Xinhua)

This regulations, besides containing a restatement of the obligation which wholesalers and distributors now have as well as in the past have had, relative to obtaining certificates from certain purchasers as evidence of sales transactions claimed to be exempt from the tax, now prescribes additional requirements regarding certain notations which must appear on invoices reflecting such sales.
Gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property made by wholesalers and distributors shall be regarded as receipts from retail sales and therefore taxable unless it can be shown that such receipts are attributable to sales exempted by Rhode Island law.
Copies of all invoices reflecting exempt sales of tangible personal property made by wholesalers and distributors must be maintained, each to contain the correct name and address of the purchaser and the date of purchase.
It will be presumed that such portion of the seller's gross receipts which is not properly evidenced as exempt will be subject to the tax and the wholesaler or distributor will have a direct obligation to pay the tax to the state.

Client/Project: Multi-Asset Cryptocurrency Wallet
Role: Researcher, UX Designer, Tester
Goal(s): Create an intuitive, learn-as-you-go method for storing and exchanging cryptocurrency.
Result: A user-centered wallet design that focused on learn-by-use interactions, founded in user research and testing.
Tools/Techniques Used:
Research + User Surveys
With the problem first presented, the team examined the current collection of wallets the client had built in the past, what platforms those worked on (laptops, mobiles, etc.) and what current user comments were. I conducted stakeholder interviews to learn more about what they hoped to accomplish and the benchmarks they hoped to reach. With a larger adoption of the currency as one, by a larger number of people, we set out conducting a user survey with the current user base.
We conducted a short survey of 10 questions and had over 100 responses. We set out to find what people use to hold their cryptocurrency, and why they made those choices. We asked about why they opted for certain devices over others, and learned that people used wallets across different devices for different purposes: hard wallets for secure storage, laptop wallets for research and keeping up with the portfolio and rewards, and mobile for checking on balances and quick actions.
Users in the survey also sent out a clear call for an easy to use interface, something that just didn't look good, but also worked smoothly. This specific user base not only wanted something easy to use for themselves, but as a stronger ideological need to help something they believe in (blockchains and cryptocurrency) succeed.
Information Hierarchy
With user goals and stakeholder goals in mind, I set out to contemplate all the information presented in the app – and organize it in a way that would make sense to a broad spectrum of users, as well as supporting the idea that learning through interacting with this information would aid learning and encourage tentative users to become full-fledged experts.
After many whiteboarding sessions with the larger team, we had a better idea of where the information fit into features, and where those features fit into the larger app. For the mobile app, I made a hierarchical chart that displayed where information lived, and what top level persistent actions or features we had identified. This guide was used as an "at-a-glance" map for all of the possible user flows that would be created after this.
User Flows
Alongside the informational organizing, I outlined user flows that simplified actions and made room for onboarding and/or tutorials that would ensure a user had the chance to learn about a process as they were going through it. We spent a great deal of time working on getting to the basic requirements of cryptocurrency transactions – where user input was needed, where it wasn't, and how much help you can offer a user without posing a perceived security risk. We also worked on ensuring that actions like sending and receiving were well explained, but brief and to the point.
Once the user flows were in place, I identified the screens that would need to be created to support the flows. Back to the whiteboard, we sketched out many options for presenting heavy information on a page without overwhelming the user. At this point, I was able to precisely note where tool tips and other inter-page information needed to be available to the user, based on user survey results and comments.
Once I had a general idea mapped out on whiteboard, I turned them into wireframes in Sketch, focuses on showing a user only what they needed to know to successfully complete the task at hand, but also allowing a user to dig for more information and learn at their own pace.
Prototyping + Testing
Once we had some initial wireframes, I stitched them together into a prototype for testing. I identified some specific aspects of the prototype to test – i.e. our bottom menu would add navigation, and that our intend to have users 'learn through interaction' would be successful.
I ran a qualitative survey with 5 participants. I asked the participants some initial questions, ran through some identified tasks with the prototype, and recorded the results with audio and in-testing notes. Testing revealed that our language in-app needed tightening; there was too much reliance on jargon. Regardless with how smooth a flow was, if a user did not understand the technical jargon, the cognitive load was increased, and not decreased. The language of the app was given a complete overhaul, and special attention was paid to icon labels as well.
Final Results
The wireframes were passed off to visual design, and then to development. The app is slated to be released in the late summer/early fall, and will be watched to assess what the next steps for design and UX will be.

Make a Playdate with Your Mat
Anusara Yoga teacher Sianna Sherman believes in the power of play, a concept that's known in yoga as lila. "Play can so easily be dismissed or even trivialized, as if there's no profundity. But the most profound truths often emerge when you feel free and playful," she says. Sherman contends that a playful approach not only builds self-awareness, but it also encourages you to accept your idiosyncrasies. "When you let play lead the way, you recognize that every situation in life is an opportunity for greater heart energy."
To tap into the playful side of asana, Sherman created the uplifting backbending sequence on the pages that follow. She starts the practice with standing hip openers to help establish the blueprint for the hips and legs in backbends. "Once you establish the basic form of your backbend, then you can practice a wide array of variations," she says. The basic form she refers to includes widening the inner thighs and pelvic bones as you root your tailbone down. These actions will keep your lower back spacious and prevent compression as you arch up and back.
As you move through the sequence, pause at the beginning of each pose to feel your breath and to settle into the foundation of the pose. Hold each pose for five breaths, moving your breath into your back body.
Before You Begin
Open To Grace: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and set an intention.
Align Your Spine: Do several rounds of Cat-Cow.
Salute: Do 3 to 5 rounds of your favorite Sun Salutation.
After You Finish
Bow: Sit in Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose) and bathe in your inner light. Take Balasana (Child's Pose) and make an offering from your heart.
Recline: Do Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) on both legs.
Rest: Take Savasana (Corpse Pose), with hands over your heart for the first few breaths.

As a professional salesperson your time is best spent in front of someone who has the ability, need and desire to purchase your product or service. Unfortunately, there a few things which must happen in order for you to get there.
First, you have to have a lead in order to turn them into a prospect. If you will, consider a lead a "suspect" who has the chance to be a "prospect".
Here are 4 Tips For Generating Leads:
Partner With Other Vendors: Talk to other vendors who do business with your customer. Where do they go when they leave your customer's office? Many times you both share the same (or very similar) customer base and forming a strategic partnership could pay dividends for both of you.
Networking: We've all heard "birds of a feather flock together". Well, it's true for customers, too. When I talk about networking in this sense, I mean go where you customer's are going. Where do THEY network? The odds are good they will be around people in similar businesses or industries.
Sponsorship: What type of industry event or cause do your customers follow? There are tremendous opportunities to sponsor these events or at least part of them. Perhaps you can sponsor a cocktail party at a convention without breaking your bank and blowing the entire marketing budget for the year. Do what you can and don't let what you can't do stop you from at least doing something. But, beware of just buying an "ad" in a program or flyer. That, in my opinion is a waste. Do something interactive where you can actually meet and introduce yourself to your potential prospects.
Provide Education: Whether it's a free webinar, seminar or even an online blog like this one, give your leads something that solves a problem for them without asking for anything in return. Do this enough and they will begin to see you as the expert in the field and what would've been a cold call ends up being a warm call one day.
One of the keys to make any of these work is to not be too salesy about it. Be involved, be present and give but always have an opportunity to collect names, phone numbers, emails or whatever you want in order to follow up later.
Generating leads is an ongoing process—it's not something you can do hit-and-miss. Keep yourself and your company in the light.

La Chandeleur
Fête de la Chandeleur or just La Chandeleur is a popular French name of the Catholic holiday of Candlemas. It is held 40 days after Christmas. That is on the 2nd of February
The holiday is also sometimes called Fête de la Lumière or Jour des Crêpes. For all those little bit confused, let's just say that Fête de la Lumière is also the name of famous light festival in Lyon. This festival has nothing to do with La Chandeleur.
Crêpes or pancakes are prepared in large quantities. There are quite many folk beliefs related to them. Some say that farmers must eat lot of pancakes to ensure rich harvest.
There is a special ritual if you want to ensure prosperity during the entire year. You will need a coin. Hold it in one of your hands. Use the other one to hold a pan and prepare a pancake. Now you need to throw a pancake in the air and catch it with your pan. The success means prosperity in your life.
There are some French sayings about the relation between La Chandeleur and the weather. One of them says that the dew on that day means that winter is almost over.
La Chandeleur includes few other folk beliefs. If you light a candle inside a church and you manage to bring it to your home without flame going out you are not going to die in the coming year.

Perhaps out of humiliation over the ongoing spectacular tragicomedy that is Brexit, and in desperate need of a distraction from her domestic political troubles, Theresa May has taken a page out of the the US neocon playbook, and has decided to send Britain's new aircraft carrier to China's backyard in what The Times has dubbed "a show of strength" - just in case Beijing is unclear how to respond to this hilarious development - because apparently the UK believes it is a US stunt-double when it comes to sending Beijing messages about its territorial ambitions in the South China Sea.
May's defense secretary, Gavin Williamson, will say today that "Britain must be ready to use hard power" to protect its interests, The Times reported, although it wasn't clear just what interests the UK has just off the Chinese coastline. Williamson will warn that Russia and China are blurring the boundaries between peace and war and declare that Britain must stand up to those who "flout international law", a principle that "may lead to us intervene ourselves."
"To talk but fail to act risks our nation being seen as little more than a paper tiger," he will say, seemingly unaware of how the world currently views Brexit ground zero.
Williamson will also announce details of a global tour that the new aircraft carrier, one of two costing a combined £6.2 billion, will undertake according to the British newspaper, carrying two squadrons of British and American F-35 multirole stealth fighter jets.
HMS Queen Elizabeth, the country's largest warship, will be sent to the Middle East and Mediterranean, as well as the Pacific, where the Royal Navy narrowly avoided a clash with the Chinese. Last summer Beijing accused London of provocation after the Royal Navy warship HMS Albion sailed near the contested Paracel islands in the South China Sea. China responded by sending a frigate and two helicopters but the attempt to escort HMS Albion out of the waters failed and it continued its passage.
Just like the US, the UK has expressed a particular interest in deciding who is the de facto ruler of the South China Sea which is also the world's busiest commercial shipping route, and where China has built a series of artificial structures and begun to militarise them.
In 2017 Boris Johnson, then the foreign secretary, signaled that the carrier would be used to conduct "freedom of navigation" operations in the area. In recent months other Royal Navy vessels have joined the US in exercises there but avoided entering the 12-mile zone around territory claimed by China.
Last year USS Decatur came within 41 metres of a Chinese destroyer, raising tensions. Subsequently, in response to Beijing reneging on its 2015 promise not to militarize the disputed waters, China's navy's invitation to last year's multinational Rim of the Pacific exercise in Hawaii was withdrawn.
China has flaunted international demands to restrain its naval ambitions, and in 2016, Beijing rejected an international court ruling that invalidates its claims to the area. The US views the sea as a vital international maritime corridor.
* * *
And so, with the UK domestic political situation going swimmingly, Williamson has indicated that Britain intends to expand its international presence in the Asia-Pacific region and the Caribbean where it somehow won't be seen as a joke by Beijing. As a result, his speech at the Royal United Services Institute in Westminster will signal that the government is taking a more hawkish stance. "We have to be ready to show the high price of aggressive behaviour," he will say.
"Against adversaries upping their spending and advancing technology, we have to respond. If we do not, we will find ourselves with fewer options when we face threats in the future," he will say.
Perhaps to avoid being seen as a laughingstock, the US will embed aircraft with the carrier because Britain recently took receipt of only 17 of the 48 F-35 jets that it has committed to buying. The UK "show of force" comes after he criticised the Chinese telecoms giant Huawei last month and voiced grave concerns about it supplying infrastructure for Britain's mobile network, amid espionage fears.
Meanwhile, just to make sure China is really pissed off, overnight two US warships sailed near islands claimed by China in the disputed South China Sea, prompting an angry response by China's foreign ministry, which said the ships entered the waters without China's permission, ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing.
The operation was the latest attempt to counter what Washington sees as Beijing's efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the strategic waters, where Chinese, Japanese and some Southeast Asian navies operate.

A Special Issue of Studies in American Fiction
"Critical Approaches to Age in American Literature"
Late style. Juvenilia. Coming of age. Constructions of age shape not only literary forms and representations but also our critical approaches to them, and yet, this ideologically fraught category of social organization remains neglected in US literary studies. We invite submissions for a special issue that raises new questions about the undertheorized work of age, maturation, and the stages of life in American literature. How do we historicize works in relation to shifting cultural age scripts or emergent life course norms? What visions of the aging process do literary works inscribe, and what value(s) do texts attribute to particular life stages? For instance, Charlotte Temple is fifteen-years-old when she is seduced and abandoned while her counterpart, The Coquette's Eliza Wharton, is thirty-seven-years old when she suffers the same fate. How can attention to the racialized politics of age help us read Toni Morrison's Beloved, who is at once a baby, nineteen-years-old, and eternal? And how might Still Alice's vision of midlife memory loss help us think through intersections between aging and autonomy? What constitutes deviant aging or an oppositional representation of embodied age?
Building on the work of childhood studies, this special issue moves beyond youth to consider "age" more broadly as a key index and site of meaning for American literature and culture. As an analytic frame, age can provide an intellectual meeting ground for scholars working from a range of methodological perspectives and historical eras on related concepts such as temporality, personhood, political autonomy, and the like. An attention to age dovetails with interpretive practices such as queer theory that aim to destabilize identitarian categories and allow for alternative ways of imagining subjectivity and embodiment. Similarly, age studies intersects with disability studies in a shared attention to bodies that do not align with capitalist values of productivity and self-sufficiency. How might we envision the role of imaginative literature in the genealogy of age categories and their relation to adjacent and overlapping structures, including those of race, class, gender, and sexuality?
Possible topics might include but are certainly not limited to:
- Age as an acknowledged but underexplored heuristic for disability studies
- Expectations for "successful aging," particularly under late capitalism
- Age and medical humanities, esp. issues of debility and frailty
- Age as an instrument of biopolitics and population management
- Narratives of middle age/midlife
- Age and narrative form beyond the Bildungsroman
- Age and aesthetics (e.g. the notion of "late style" or "juvenilia")
- Feminist responses to the patriarchal meanings of age
- Lifespans and life expectancies—human, animal, environmental
- Age fraud and/or age deviance; narratives of age passing
- Representations of senility and/or dementia
- Narratives of age rejuvenation, longevity, or eternal youth
- Intersections between hierarchies of age and race
- Queer figurations of age, development, and becoming
- Cross-generational collaboration and/or intimacies
Please send 250 word abstracts/statements of interest by Feb 1, 2018; final submissions of 8000–10,000 words (including endnotes and works cited) in Chicago format will be due June 1, 2018. Please send electronic submissions and any queries to the guest editors: Sari Edelstein (email@example.com) and Melanie Dawson (email@example.com).

How Less Tech Gave My Family More
Parents: we have a problem. Technology is changing our kids.
Of course we know this. Extensive research is conducted. Long-range studies are published. But recently, I witnessed the impact on my own family firsthand. Please realize this is not some comprehensive or organized experiment. It is simply real life – my life – and to be honest, the outcome would vary based on individual situations. But I will say this:
My son has changed. For the better. And it is all because we took his phone away.
Our kid is a good kid. He is smart, kind, hardworking, shy, witty, and an incredible blessing. But at the beginning of February, something occurred in our family that led to a revamp of rules for our son. Access to technology is a privilege not a right in our household which means he has to earn the ability to have and use. And while the trigger for this decision is not important, the results are.
- NO PHONE. Not at school. Not at home. Not anywhere. No calls, texts, internet, music, gaming. Nothing. He does not have access.
- NO COMPUTER. He must use a chromebook for school, but he is limited to homework and assigned internet searches.
- NO EMAIL. Personal email has been blocked, and school email must be related to assignments.
- more conversation
- more interaction
- more connection
- more focus
- more patience
- more consideration
- more creativity
- more inspiration
- more laughter
- more joy
- more peace
- more love
Our son has always been amazing, but now he is like a different kid. There is less arguing and mood swings. He plays outside more. Free time is spent reading and writing. If he wants to talk to someone, he must do it in person. If he wants to learn about something, he needs to ask. We have never allowed social media apps but perhaps just the pressure of texting, emailing, and being in the know was too much.
Like many teens, he was addicted. But I also think he was fearful. Of not being cool. Of not keeping up. Of missing out.
These rules might seem harsh but they were necessary for our end goal: a reset. And though there was reluctance by our son, they were agreed upon as a family. It has now been one month, and we are planning to reinstate phone privileges slowly and with time limits. [Note: It would be unfair to abruptly change the rules for a child without thought, discussion, or a valid reason. But if the opportunity arises to make a meaningful change as a way to guide or teach a lesson, take it.]
We are not perfect parents. We are ever-learning. But this experience has taught us to disconnect so we can reconnect.
With the horrors of recent current events, it might feel harder than ever to parent, especially teenagers. But when the outside world begins to overwhelm our children that is a sign for us to take charge of what is happening on their inside. We must not be afraid to follow instincts, make tough decisions, and say no when everyone else seems to be saying yes.
Our kids can do without and survive, but we must take the initiative. More importantly, we need to lead by example – that means logging off more and going screen free as well. There is much to be found online but in the end, the best of life is lived offline.
We have the power to power off.
