Today the Street Vendor Project's Vendy Awards announced its five dessert nominees for this year's upcoming competition. Relative new players in the mobile dessert world, the nominees are Miss Softee, La Bella Torte, Cupcake Crew, Wooly's and La Newyorkina. These finalists were chosen by anyone who wished to cast a vote, and many exceptional dessert vendors were snubbed this year.
Veteran trucks like Big Gay Ice Cream Truck and Coolhaus have received plenty of media attention for their original creations, but fans chose newer treat vendors over these traditional favorites. Hoboken's La Bella Torte has only been around for five months, but serves some truly unique desserts, including an olive oil, rosemary and blood orange cake. Wooly's Truck specializes in Hawaiian and Taiwanese shaved ices, and takes a different approach to the standard shaved ice recipe. This truck blends delicious flavors together in ice, then shaves them off and covers them with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit.
Miss Softee is a woman who has served signature ice cream cones from a Mister Softee ice cream truck for the last two years no longer operates from her truck, but still makes scheduled appearances for events. La Newyorkina serves handmade gourmet Mexican ice pops with unusual flavors, like cucumber lime or mango chili with real fruit slices. The last nominee, Cupcake Crew, serves gourmet cupcakes with an Italian appeal. Many are stuffed with cannoli cream, and owner Frankie Francollo constantly tricks out his cupcakes to stay ahead of the competition.
The Seventh Annual Vendy Awards will be held on September 24th at Governors Island. Tickets are already sold out, so if you're one of the lucky ones who already ordered a ticket, be sure t try out these diverse desserts.

Created: 19th century.

Dimensions: high - 105 cm.
St Roch is a pilgrim saint of French origin who lived in the thirteenth–fourteenth centuries and who dedicated his life to nursing people suffering from the plague. He was born at the time of the Black Death into a pious family of rich and influential traders that took care of the poor. Roch studied medicine. On his deathbed his father asked his fifteen-year-old son four things: serve all those who needed his help, not to abandon God, to inherit his status and assets, and to take care of people ill with the plague. When his mother died, Roch became a begging pilgrim and treated people not only using his knowledge of medicine, but also with the sign of the Holy Cross. Once he heard an angel saying to him in a dream that he would have to face an illness and when he woke up he found a wound above his left knee. Trying to avoid any danger to others, he left the hospital and settled in a cave in a forest. A dog provided him with bread. When he recovered, he travelled home, but was stopped and accused of spying and was imprisoned. He spent several years in prison.
St Roch is considered the patron saint of those suffering epidemic diseases. His attributes are a stick and a bag. He is also depicted with a plague wound on his leg and an accompanying dog. In Lithuania the cult of St Roch strengthened in 1713 after the establishment of the brotherhood of St Roch in Kražiai.

We currently have two committees to support the running of AEA-Europe. Committees are made up of members of the association. Click on the links under each group to find out who is involved and a basic description of their roles.
Professional Development Committee
The Professional Development Committee: remit, roles and responsibilities
Continuous professional development is at the core of any professional organisation. For AEA-Europe, creating opportunities for its members to increase their knowledge and understanding of assessment and keeping up to date with the latest developments is one of its main raisons d'être. Our annual conferences are an important example of this, but AEA-Europe does much more.
The Professional Development Committee (PDC), in its current form, was established during the annual AEA-Europe Conference in Paris in 2013.
The PDC is organized around a number of strands of activity:
- AEA-Europe Accreditation Scheme
- New Researcher Award combined with the Doctoral Network
- Poster Award
- Webinars and Seminars
- Standards for Educational Assessment
Here we briefly summarise these activities and provide an accompanying explanation of how we intend to take each one forward.
- AEA-Europe Accreditation Scheme
AEA-Europe's professional accreditation scheme was first launched in 2007. The scheme provides members of the Association with the opportunity to have their assessment knowledge, skills and expertise recognised through the award of the status of Associate, Practitioner and Fellow of the Association. The PDC is actively encouraging Association members who have not yet applied for accreditation as Fellow, Practitioner or Associate to do so.
Applicants for Associate status will generally be starting to work professionally in assessment, in universities, examination boards, development agencies, publishers and similar. They should be in a position in which they can put into effect their knowledge of the principles and practice of assessment and also to be able draw up a professional development plan to show how they intend to improve their professional knowledge and competence in assessment.
Candidates for Practitioner status are assessed on the basis of evidence which shows that they:
- have a breadth of professional knowledgeof assessment and understand the wider professional context of their work;
- are able to reflect critically on and evaluatetheir own service performance;
- are committed to continuing professional developmentfor themselves and, where possible, for others;
- are able to analyse their professional performance and progression with reference to sound developmental goals.
Fellowship is the highest professional recognition given by AEA-Europe. It shows that a member has demonstrated a high level of professionalism in his/her personal practice and made important contributions to the assessment profession as a whole. Candidates for a Fellowship will be assessed on the basis of evidence which shows their:
- substantial achievement in professional practice;
- significant contribution to all or (a specialised) part of the assessment profession;
- active commitment to continuing professional development for themselves and for others;
- evidence of significant participation in training,mentoring or informing other assessment professionals;
- current membership of AEA-Europe, and willingness to participate in the Association (for example, by contributing to AEA-Europe conferences).
The PDC is also aware of the continuing requirement for progression through the levels of accreditation for AEA-Europe members. For example, Practitioners are being encouraged to consider applying for Fellowship status.
One of the roles of the PDC is to identify the kind of training (and where to obtain such training) potential applicants would need in order to enhance their chances of successfully applying for Practitioner and/or Fellowship status.
The PDC is also looking for Fellows and Practitioners who would be willing to describe the benefits and entitlements their accreditation status affords. For example, Fellowship status allows opportunities to review conference proposals; fosters participation in the election of other Fellows; and creates openings for engagement with the New Researcher Award. If you are interested in finding out more about the accreditation process, please contact the Secretariat of the AEA-Europe Association (email@example.com.) or any of the PDC members.
- New Researcher Award combined with the Doctoral Network
AEA-Europe is keen on providing support for new researchers and doctoral students who have an interest in assessment. The Association has built a network of doctoral students from various European academic institutions. The doctoral network created a Linked In page to provide a platform where doctoral students can share their experiences and struggles. It has organized several successful events over the past years including pre-conference workshops. The PDC is currently exploring ways of reaching a larger group of doctoral students and catering for their professional needs. It is preparing a new doctoral pre-conference workshop for the annual conference in Tallinn 2014.
AEA-Europe recognizes new talent in research by granting the Kathleen Tattersall New Researcher Award every year to the best new researcher in Europe.
- Poster Award
AEA-Europe encourages its membership to submit poster proposals for its Annual Conference each year. It is a very effective way for professionals engaged in assessment to present their work, having the opportunity to exchange ideas, get feedback to improve their work and develop new, shared projects together with other experts in the field. The best poster presented at conference will win an award which consists of having the opportunity to visit CITO (Netherlands), meeting other experts and getting to experience an institution deeply engaged in assessment. However, this is not the only beneift of being an award winner. The PDC is of the opinion that posters should be given more attention and, for this reason, is attempting to disseminate more effectively the benefits for entering and winning the competition.
The poster award is generously sponsored by CITO.
- Webinars and Seminars
In the past, the PDC was responsible for organizing webinars for AEA-Europe members and inviting some of the latest conference presenters to present their papers using this form of technology. In view of offering a more efficient service to the membership, the PDC will soon send out a questionnaire to determine the most popular and useful topics to be presented in this way. Moreover, the PDC would like to enlarge its membership by offering face-to-face seminars in less represented countries (especially in South and Eastern Europe).
- Standards for Educational Assessment
AEA-Europe believes that there should be a way to compare the quality standards that professionals in educational assessment work towards across Europe. A first draft of a document which addresses this issue, The European Framework of Standards for Educational Assessment, was presented at the Berlin conference in 2012. The Framework is the result of a process that started a few years ago when AEA Europe members discussed the issue of quality standards during their annual conference.
The development of this Framework is another step in realizing the long-term objective of the AEA-E Council: to position the Association as an expert organization that can facilitate and set up peer review and audit procedures to foster the quality of educational assessment across Europe.
The PDC is now looking for members to both evaluate and use the Framework. Again, contributions from Fellows, Practitioners and Associates are welcome.
The PDC is committed to making AEA-Europe the foremost association for all assessment professionals throughout Europe particularly, it is hoped, with the active involvement of its academic, professional and vocational members.
Publications Committee
The Publication Committee's role is to set and maintain a professional communication flow amongst members and possible future members, throughout the year. Planned work includes the following:
- Enhancing approaches to communication, for the associations members, including more regular use of E – newsletter and social media channels. This also includes the updating of the website to facilitate a more integrated communication approach
- Establishing one of more Special Interest Groups – starting with e-assessment
- Putting in place a process for members to propose new Special Interest Groups
- Developing a strategy to increase membership of the Association
This is an exciting time for the Publications Committee as we seek to add further value to the Association's members by exploring how we broaden out our communication approaches. We welcome feedback from members about how we could enhance our work for the European assessment community – any ideas please post them on any of the AEA- Europe social media channels.
The current members of the publications committee are:
- Deborah Chetcuti – chair
- Lesley Wiseman – leads on Special Interest Groups
- Amina Afif – newsletter editor and communication
- Mary Richardson – leads on communication through social media channels

Neurologist Dr Smith's research on finding the underlying causes of headaches has helped him to treat those who have in many case been misdiagnosed.
Dr. Smith is an MIT-trained electrical engineer and physician who is in private practice in Rochester, NY. He completed medical school and a Ph.D. in neuroanatomy at the University of Rochester Medical Center and holds a postdoctoral fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology. He has trained with Dr. George Engel in the biopsychosocial model of the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Smith is board-certified in neurology.
Specialties: Dr. Smith offers a novel approach to the diagnosis of medical problems. Today the MRI scan and the OCT scan have become the virtual autopsy. Electrodiagnostic techniques are available which make the physical exam much less useful in establishing a correct diagnosis. The internet and various other modes of communication have created the possibility of investigating an illness in the same way a detective investigates a crime.

NCLA New Writing:
'Buen Camino' by Antonia Cundy
Buen Camino
To lie, to flop, to fling
Down on a bag.
Green, green,
Rich warmth – what warmth! –
In the word, green.
I wandered, not lonely as a cloud,
But full!
Full of sun and pulpo,
Empanadas and air.
Boiling over, a bubbling brook.
O Cebreiro, Sarria, Palas de Rei.
I escaped the world,
With just two friends,
And flew –
To music, words, the rise and fall of hills;
Fat friars lying flat, grassy chests and muddy knees.
Just green and brown and blue.
Golden cowbells which really ring,
Sheepdogs, used for herding sheep,
Milestones for a map.
Yellow shells into yellow arrows –
"Buen camino", passed along the way.
Antonia Cundy is a second year English Literature student at Newcastle University, and editor of The University Paper Newcastle. Having always written for pleasure, she is now hoping to circulate her name further in the poetic world.

Much as they were in Cincinnati earlier this month, the Patriots allowed themselves to be bullied in losing to the New York Jets.
The red flags were there for more than four quarters, long before umpire Tony Michalek's game-changing yellow flag hit the ground in overtime.
An obscure NFL rule gave New York Jets place-kicker Nick Folk the re-do that provided his team with a 30-27 victory on Sunday, but the Patriots' problems both preceded and extended well beyond the penalty that, if nothing else, will make Chris Jones the answer to a trivia question.
Before Folk lined up for what truly was a long shot in overtime, which Michalek deemed the proper time to apply a recent addition to the NFL rule book, Rule 913 had never been enforced.
In retrospect, though, more alarming than the Patriots' loss, costly as it may have been in the AFC East standings, was the manner in which it developed.
The Patriots may not have deserved to lose in the manner in which they did, but clearly they deserved to lose.
For the second time in three weeks – it also occurred when they lost in Cincinnati, 13-6 – the Patriots weren't merely beaten in this game, they were beaten up as well.
Plain and simple, much like the Bengals, the Jets played the part of schoolyard bullies to the Patriots, mounting a physical challenge they were either unable or unwilling to match.
At times, left tackle Nate Solder and center Ryan Wendell were particularly overmatched, serving as little more than speed bumps in the Jets' way.
It all seemed to take a toll on quarterback Tom Brady, who threw more incompletions than completions (22-for-46), was sacked four times, fumbled twice and intercepted once, serving up a pass safety Antonio Allen returned 23 yards for a pick-six that pulled the Jets to within 21-17 at the start of a third quarter they owned.
That, incidentally, was the only touchdown pass Brady threw on this day.
Yes, the finish was bizarre, a "did that just happen?" feel to it, but the Patriots left themselves susceptible because, at a point in time where they could have put the game away, instead they let the Jets back in it.
The Patriots' running game averaged 4.5 yards per carry, but offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had such little faith in it at the end of the day the team had called 50 pass plays to 20 runs – the kind of mix you'd expect to get from a team in the Arena Football League, not from a purported contender in the National Football League.
Given the inconsistency Brady has so often exhibited in throwing to a made-over receiving corps this fall (some of it falls on the quarterback, folks) and the fact that the team's defense was trying to make do without its two starting defensive tackles, it's leading tackler and a cornerback who's been the team's MVP, one would think McDaniels would be more patient with the ground game in an effort to play some ball control, but apparently not.
Consider the fact that on Sunday, Brady targeted returning tight end Rob Gronkowski with passes nearly as often (17 times) as he handed the ball off to a running back.
Conversely, the Jets pounded the ball on the ground 52 times for 177 yards, while attempting to throw it on 37 occasions.
Obviously, the approach differs when one has Brady dropping back to pass rather than Geno Smith and the Jets entered the game with the league's second-ranked run defense while the Pats came in at 24th (they're now 31st) and reeling with injuries, but still…
The Jets' approach enabled them to be in possession of the ball for nearly twice as long as the Patriots in the game, 46 minutes-and-change to less than 24 minutes.
First the Jets won the battle in the trenches then they won the game.
The unlikely end of the Patriots' win over the New Orleans Saints the previous Sunday, coincidentally a 30-27 decision as well, led the team's radio analyst, Scott Zolak, to launch into a nonsensical soliloquy that included the words "where's the beef?"
The manner in which this one unfolded before its unlikely end is reason to pose another question.
Where's the brawn?

Income inequality in 2011-12 was at its lowest point since 1986, according to the Office for National Statistics. In its latest annual report on the impact of tax and benefits, it calculates that the Gini coefficient for disposable income in 2011-12 was 32.3 per cent, a fall from its 2010-11 value of 33.7 per cent.
The global economic crash of 2007 resulted in widening income inequalities in the UK during the years that immediately followed it, according to a new study from the London School of Economics.
The study forms part of the 'Social Policy in a Cold Climate' research project charting developments in a wide range of social issues since 2007.
Poverty and inequality in London worsened during the course of the 2000s, particularly during the global recession from 2008 onwards, according to a new report from the London School of Economics.
The study forms part of the 'Social Policy in a Cold Climate' research project charting developments in a wide range of social issues since 2007.
The last Labour government made 'considerable' progress on its chosen objectives of reducing child and pensioner poverty, but had little impact on overall inequality, according to a major study of its time in office (1997–2010).
The 'Social Policy in a Cold Climate' project, being carried out at the London School of Economics, aims to chart developments on a wide range of social issues since 2007 – eventually allowing a detailed comparison between the Labour and coalition governments. A new report from the project summarises five separate studies of the Labour period, including one focusing on poverty and inequality.
The existing economic model traps too many people in Scotland in a cycle of economic hardship, argues a new report from Oxfam. Allocating resources in a more effective and sustainable way could help to tackle poverty and inequality, it says, and deliver lasting social change.
Inequality in the United States is greater today than at almost any time in the last century, according to a new report. It points out that gaps in income and wealth also run deeper in the USA than those in virtually any other democratic and developed economy. The report sketches recent trends, and sets out radical policy solutions.
The percentage of people living in households with an 'absolute' low income was 17 per cent (before housing costs) in 2011-12 – nearly a million higher than when the coalition government took office in 2010-11 – according to the latest official Households Below Average Income (HBAI) statistical report.
The HBAI report uses three main measures of low income/inequality:
Relative low income – where someone lives in household that receives less than 60 per cent of the average (median disposable) income in the year in question.
Absolute low income – where someone lives in household that receives less than 60 per cent of average (median disposable) income in 2010-11 adjusted since then by inflation.
Income inequality – measured by the Gini coefficient, on a scale from zero (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).
Despite using a 40-year old absolute standard, child poverty in the US has increased dramatically from 14% to 22% as Salvatore Babones reports here.
Downward pressures on wages are holding back economic recovery in the UK and other advanced countries, according to the latest edition of the International Labour Organization's World of Work report. The ILO contrasts the position of most workers with that of top executives on 'elevated' pay packages, and calls for greater effort to tackle damaging inequalities.
Reforms to the education and tax/benefit systems in the US could help to reduce income inequality and relative poverty, according to a working paper from the OECD in Paris. The paper highlights the fact that inequality and poverty in the US are among the highest for developed countries, and have also increased substantially in recent decades.

I apologise in advance for this long-winded, ranting pity party. My husband was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after getting a phone message at work telling him that he had to see the doctor that day. No explanation. We both were panicking all day wondering what was wrong. We finally get there and the dr's assistant keeps looking at us with pity. After an agonising wait, we are told that he is a type 2 and is immediately put on metformin and glimepiride. His original reading was 305 and the one taken that night was 340. No a1c done.
We were told about carb counting, which we have been doing, and appointments for a consultation with someone (I have no idea who) and a dietician. The consultation was cancelled by the doctor's office with only a "you don't need it".
Within a couple of days his numbers were well under the upper limits suggested to us. They have been dropping since then. At the dietician, I said that he is having to eat because his numbers are so low. They did talk to the doctor so his glimepiride has been reduced to once a day.
I suppose my concern is that the doctor is basing this on one reading with no a1c, not accounting for stress, the fact that he innocently took dayquil when he had the original fasting blood work done and I just want all this to go away.
I'm really disappointed with the "care" we have been getting. My husband is not overweight and runs regularly. Although he has lost about 4 pounds, I have yet to lose any, grrrr!!! Yes, I know it is not about me but I was hoping for something :-)
Thank you for letting me rant, I do feel a little better!
I apologise in advance for this long-winded, ranting pity party. My husband was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after getting a phone message at work telling him that he had to see the doctor that day.

After an agonising wait, we are told that he is a type 2 and is immediately put on metformin and glimepiride. His original reading was 305 and the one taken that night was 340. No a1c done.
No reason to apologize. It's a lot to handle at one time. And it sounds like your husband is responding to treatment really well so far.
Although an a1c can be helpful information, #s of 305 and 340 are not glucose readings that a non-diabetic would have. (I asked the same type of thing myself at diagnosis - "What if I had a really sugary lunch???)
One thing that I might suggest, as you've said your husband is not overweight and exercises regularly is to read up on Type 1.5 or LADA diabetes and consider asking for tests to rule that in or out. 1.5/LADA is adult onset of Type 1, and a slower progression that can respond at 1st like type 2. But insulin will eventually be needed, and having the correct diagnosis can help with both treatment and healthy expectations.
Wishing both of you the best of luck in this crazy new lifestyle. I'm pretty new to TuDiabetes itself, but it's a wonderful non-judgemental place where none of us are truly alone.
Thank you! I know I'm still in denial. His mum was diagnosed about 20 years ago, was diet controlled and is just recently injecting, she's 79. I suppose it was inevitable. I'm just a little disappointed that they went immediately to drugs and now we are in a situation where his numbers are really low: 76, 95 and 110. His lowest was 67. He is a computer geek and has all of this with what he ate on a spreadsheet :D
We have his next appointment next week so I will make sure we ask about type 1.5.
I think you have a right to be disappointed in the care your husband has received to date. Blood sugars in the 300s do indicate some sort of problem beyond Dayquil and stress though. The fact that your husband is thin does raise a red flag. Many thin people that are diagnosed as T2 turn out to have LADA which is a slow onset T1. Typically T2 drugs will work for a while but gradually loose their effectiveness as the autoimmune attack progresses. At a minimum an A1c should be taken if for no other reason than to have a benchmark to judge progress. My own initial A1C was 13.1 and I got it down to 5.6 within 5 months. One shouldn't discount the mental boost something like this has as far as a positive reinforcement and encouragement to continue on with whatever program you have arrived at.
All diabetics need to educate themselves so they can take an active part in their treatment, and because in many cases they are receiving sub optimal care. Good resources for learning more about LADA are the LADA group here on tuD and member melitta's blogs. Another type often misdiagnosed as T2 is MODY. The MODY group here is an excellent resource
In my opinion all newly diagnosed T2's need to familiarize themselves with the "eat to your meter" system. In a nutshell you tailor your diet to your actual meter readings by keeping a log of foods eaten and the resulting blood sugar readings. Then you modify your diet to achieve your blood sugar goals. Incidentally many of us believe the goals given are too high and result in further deterioration. My personal goal is never to go over 140, I would suggest you educate yourself about this and set your goals yourself instead of relying on someone else to do it. A good source for reading about the "eat to your meter" system as well as appropriate goals is the bloodsugar101 website. Depending on what level of carb restriction your husband ultimately chooses it may be possible to reduce or eliminate some drugs.
Good luck, keep us updated and don't hesitate to post further questions, tuD is a tremendous resource.
The link to bloodsugar101 is broken here's one that works:)
We will definitely talk to the doctor about this at the appointment next week. I have learned a lot from this site already!
Alan had a spike yesterday but we are putting it down to him having an after work thing where he had a diet coke and not eating anything until after 7pm. He usually has something around 4.30. Not sure if the diet coke really was a diet...
Our daughter has had a benefit from all this, one of her high school classes is doing a healthy eating/fitness tracking thing where they get points for each goal met. She has all the healthy food ones! Her teacher asked how she managed it and she just smiled and said "diabetic dad" :D

Happy Birthday Grandma!
Today is a very special day in our home. Grandma Rosa was my inspiration and director of how to find joy in my life. Her desire to live without restraint and explore new paths is the reason we are all on this same page of yoga. I thank her every day for being a true pioneer.
While enjoying this morning reflection of just how special she was in my life, I showered as I always do, looking out our window at the sunrise and desert landscape. Today, a slight movement in the trees caught my eye. I focused and noticed a beautiful mamma doe bedding down below the branches.
As always, I am impressed with the divine timing in my life. The synchronicity of the doe feeling safe and welcome at my home on this very special day of connection. She is lying there now, sweet and serene. How wonderful this life is.

Hello Summer!
Well, it is the first day of summer. It is official. It is no longer Spring.
An unfortunate highlight from yesterday happened at my job at Burger King. I was told that a kid crapped in the play area. I was the one that had to clean up the mess.....>_< Meh....I had to climb up through the tubes. At the top next to the slide, I had to clean up the mess. Eww....>_< That's so disgusting.....Don't kids know where the bathroom is at?
As for payday, that is today for me. I will pick up my check tomorrow when I go in to work.
Well, I'm going to read my books now. I'm now down to Soul Harvest and Kyle's Ultimate Fantasy. Fun fun fun.....^_^

Located on a side street, close to The Louvre, hides one of Paris's real hidden gems. A café where you pay by the hour, not by the drinks or food. Prices start at 4€ an hour or 16€ a day, but you can also choose to pay by the week or month. AntiCafe is known as an "Espace de Partage", for anyone wishing to work, write, meet up, and share. A network of writers, who have found a safe haven, sit at community tables and share their thoughts. However, it still holds that independent, creative environment.
A place where you can have a bowl of chocolate cereal or elegant biscuits, fresh lemonade or an espresso. Wifi is free and fast, with an abundance of chargers and outlets. They even supply a printer, projector, and scanner for those extra hard workers. A large wooden bookshelf hides in a niche, with a variety of books and games to peruse at your leisure. Delicate, black and white art lines the whitewashed walls, emphasizing the simplicity of the whole cafe.
At the beginning of Paris's design week, AntiCafe welcomed a trendy, week-long pop-up showroom. Happy young adults presented their collection of modish clothes and accessories.
At one point I found myself in the company of a well-behaved doggy, patiently sitting underneath my table. Most people were very comfortable with him as if he were a regular customer.
This modest treasure can be found in Rome, as well, with three more locations all over Paris. There are many events that take place here, including theme parties and movie nights. You can find out more about this magical world on their Facebook page. I promise you, you have never seen anything like this.

A Porphyry installation video of a beautiful cobblestone pathway is educational. This short (2:21) segment showing two posers (layers) and a helper laying overlapping arcs with 4" (8-10cm) porphyry cubes, demonstrates an effortless seeming process of a traditional setting method that dates back centuries. The stone setting skill of these two is highly refined and belies the years of training and experience they demonstrate.
Porphyry paving is an old world material, a type of volcanic igneous rock. This material used with installation professionals can achieve stunning areas that will heighten the aesthetic value of the surroundings. Cubes lend themselves to many different patterns. It is exciting to watch this installation performance.
The overlapping arc pattern is the most wide spread pattern that easily suits every kind of area. This is the reason it is also called "normal" lying. This and other patterns along with stone installation techniques can be found in the Milestone Imports Porphyry Manual available in digital form on our website. Milestone brings porphyry to all North American destinations.
Overlapping arc patterns have been used all over Europe beacuse the strength of the pattern. It is stable on uphill grades and resists the forces of turning traffic. The compresive strength of the stone combined with this pattern makes this method of porphyry paving the most durable.

Collaborative WELLNESS is an Integrative Nurse Coach Practice. We partner with clients in identifying and achieving their health and wellness goals through an integrative lens, evidence-informed resources, and coaching.
Optimal health and wellness is a state of being that is realized when one's mind, spirit, and body are in balance. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), over $2.5 trillion was spent in personal health care expenditures in 2014 compared to $23 billion in 1960. Furthermore, 86% of our nation's health care costs are attributed to treatment of chronic diseases. The CDC has determined four targets to decrease chronic disease and high-risk health behaviors. Creating alternative community services to connect healthcare professionals and individuals that support preventative care and healthy behaviors will impact healthcare delivery. "Establishment of community conditions to support healthy behaviors and promote effective management of chronic conditions will deliver healthier students to schools, healthier workers to employers and businesses, and a healthier population to the health-care system" (1).

Choosing the right insurance quote
When you come to choosing an insurance service or company it is vital that you compare it with different ones. The quote you get from one company may seem like the best deal, but there may be companies willing to offer you a better deal elsewhere. The development of technology has made it possible for us to obtain quotes from various sources, via online, the telephone or by visiting the insurance company. The real trouble arises when it comes to selecting the best one.
It's good practice to remember that each insurance company is trying to lure in consumers. They heavily advertise their insurance deals, and make them appear like the best deal for you. However, these advertising techniques are designed to entice you into buying their insurance without having compared their quote with other companies. It is company techniques like this that make it difficult for consumers to compare quotes. These tips will hopefully make it easier for you to effectively compare insurance quotes.
1. It isn't all about the price. You should analyse every aspect of the agreement. In this age, we are used to buying products that have the lowest price attached to them. A lot of people seek out insurance, using the price as their only judging criteria. You should check every part of the quote, from what it fully includes and the benefits you are entitled to, and the date that the agreement expires. Using tables is a good method to summarise and compare different quotes. Always clarify anything that you are unsure of.
2. The complexity of insurance policy contracts is not accurately portrayed in an insurance quote. The quote only really shows you the very surface of the policy, and this is usually less than 25% of the actual contract. Therefore, you must understand that the insurance quote does not explain everything about the insurance service. If it's possible, request a copy of the insurance policy contract from the insurance company and seek legal consultation if required.
3. Compare the quality of service provided. A frequent error that occurs is that people assume that if a company gives you more, it is better than another company. This is partially true, but the quality of service is definitely better than the quantity provided. If there is one insurance company which will process your request in 2 days and another takes 1 month, then it is clear which insurance company is superior.
4. Seek expert advice. When we compare insurance quotes, we are doing so at a very basic level. If you consult an independent insurance expert then it will be incredibly beneficial. They have all the right knowledge and are aware of what aspects of a policy are better than others. There is only one problem with this approach, and that is that the insurance expert may be tied to a particular insurance company and work to make sure their company becomes your insurance company.
These tips should help you to choose the most beneficial insurance policy for you, by comparing the different policies presented to you. However, in the end it is your good ju8dgement that you will have to rely on as the deciding factor. Be careful when comparing insurance companies and you should get the best deal.

Kaya Services, a virtual assistant company, has announced a two-hour trial of virtual assistant staffing to small and medium-sized businesses to demonstrate the benefits of using a virtual assistant company to complete many digitized tasks. Using a virtual assistant takes the process of using additional help to the next level. Employers do not need to designate space, office equipment, office supplies and on-site supervision. Professional Employer Organizations (PEO), such as Kaya Services, outsource many routine daily tasks when a full-time employee cannot be afforded or is not totally needed. In hiring a virtual assistant (VA), employers do not have to pay for standard benefits or workman's compensation insurance.
VA's perform such duties as making business plans, preparing and coordinating market research and financial feasibility reports. They are available for transcription services, data mining and data entry, bookkeeping, appointment setting, email management and general office duties. An international VA like Kaya can also assist with order processing and Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) management.
A full list of back office services offered by Kaya include:
• Research and analysis for preparing business plans, market research projects, and financial feasibility reports.
• Transcriptions services, including medical and audio transcription.
• Recruitment Process Outsourcing.
• Data mining and data entry.
• Appointment setting, email management, and general office duties.
• Content moderation.
• Order processing.
• Bookkeeping.
• Customer relations management.
• Translations services.
• Real estate support.

Gay Pride weekend in New York City just passed, and I write this on the 41st anniversary of the Stonewall riots. Two weeks ago, we celebrated Gay Pride in Brooklyn with a fair and a parade on a sunny Saturday in June.
For the fourth year in a row, my Roman Catholic parish had a table at the fair and I was scheduled to "woman" our table. I arrived a little early to find the two women in our Gay Ministry finishing their shift. The table was surrounded by toddler gear. I surveyed the diaper bags, teething toys, baby wipes, board books, bears and sippy cups, remembering the wonders, thrills and trials of life with toddlers (I had three children in four years!).
I asked the two gay moms how things were going, and braced myself for the answer. We expect to catch flak. It tends to fly at us from two opposing directions: from Catholics who accept Church teaching and therefore view homosexuality is a disorder, and from those who believe gay people who stay in a church ruled by self-hating homosexuals in miters are sexual identity traitors.
A reader of my essay "Sex and the City of God" wrote the following in the Huffington Post comment field in response to my speculation on what might happen if every gay Catholic abandoned the Church for a month:
If every gay church worker, closeted or otherwise -- music directors, nuns, priests, and lay ministers -- were to call in sick for a month, Or just quit the RCC and join a church that respects them.
"Devon Texas" has a point, but like many women who remain in a church governed by misogynists, many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people believe they are part of a church that that can be healed -- a church that belongs as much to them as to any of its members. While it is true that the Church hierarchy does not respect homosexuals, many gay men and women know that the people of the Church -- who are the Church -- do, for the most part, respect them.
Though we on the Gay Ministry team at my parish are committed to affecting change (growth) from within, we know it's slow going. Roman Catholic Church leadership is somewhat diplomatic in its hateful disposition toward gay people, but unlike fundamentalist Christian leadership, Catholic teaching does not deem homosexuality an "abomination." Perhaps because so much of Church leadership is gay, the hierarchy does not bother with the vicious, backwards and fallacious notion that homosexuality can be cured.
Technically speaking, every Roman Catholic church in the world welcomes gay people to the altar, so long as they do not have sex lives. Like many Catholics who refuse to be complicit in the hierarchy's penchant for using the Eucharist as a cudgel, GLBT Catholics often disregard doctrine on the matter of being gay.
A year ago I wrote a bit about my work in Gay Ministry in an essay called "Born Again Catholic in Brooklyn" which appeared in the New York Times online. The following remark appeared in the comment field.
Still it's different to admire the courage of a lesbian nun, but not be one. Try being gay in the church rather than being supportive of their ministry. It's a less comfortable and viable position. More like worshiping in a hate crime.
(This comment was signed 'Eileen Myles.' Poet Eileen Myles -- if this commenter and she are one and the same -- is a superb, well-known lesbian poet raised in the Church, which seems important to note here.) Not being gay, I can't know what it is to be gay in the Church. But I am not in "their" ministry -- I'm in "our" ministry. We call it a ministry for "gay Catholics and their families"; I helped to build it, and I am needed in it because heterosexuals have a role in helping this change along. Furthermore, I think women and gay men and women are linked as victims of the hierarchy's bigotry in a way I find slightly comparable to the way "Suffragettes" were connected to Abolitionists. The two causes weren't identical, obviously, but there was psychological, political and spiritual overlap which inspired mutual support.
Am I "worshiping in a hate crime?" I don't believe so. But I'm never sure. I do know that each December 1st, for three years running, some guy who rarely sets foot in a church has approached me at the end of our annual World AIDS Day Interfaith Memorial Service to tell me how grateful he is for the opportunity to remember friends he lost to AIDS in a house of worship. I suspect that some of the partners of the guys in our ministry might agree with Ms. Myles, but I don't believe we are "worshiping in a hate crime." I think we are worshiping next door to a hate crime, trying to improve the neighborhood.
What I am sure about, too, is that anti-gay bigotry in the secular world is fueled by anti-gay bigotry in the clerical world, and I think anyone who works to oppose homophobia in any religious setting is engaging in both secular advocacy and --pardon the pun -- God's work.
Father's Day happened a little over a week ago. I concentrated in praying, this year, for a friend who is waiting with his partner to finalize an adoption. This couple (two men) has been trying for long time. They've endured crushing disappointment, but this pair of fathers-to-be strikes me as men put on this earth to be dads. I notice that parents who overcome extraordinary obstacles in building their families often become extraordinary parents. I am thinking chiefly about what I see in parents who have triumphed over the legal and emotional vicissitudes of adoption, but this would seem to apply to those who have had difficulty becoming parents, too. Often these parents, who worked extra hard to become parents, seem more all the more grateful and all the more conscious.
It must be very difficult and require great courage, even now, for gay couples to "start families," and the half dozen or so gay parents I know are some of the most careful and gifted parents I know. I don't mean to suggest that heterosexual couples fall short, but that, as in so much else, the degree of difficulty which accompanies working for a treasure makes it all the more precious. Gay parents, out of necessity, are more attentive to teaching children about prejudice and may be less likely to be enamored of conformity. Gay parents have no choice but to teach their children about the relationship between principle and prejudice. For gay parents, it is not a lesson that is easily postponed.
That some parishes (not mine!) decline to fully accept these children -- and their parents -- disgusts me, but more and more parishes are realizing that they must accept them (If not for the right reasons, then for the wrong one: cash). I'm optimistic. I think it is these children and their gay parents who will change the Church for the better.
My work teaching high school English for two years and college writing for a decade brought me into contact with many young gay men and lesbians in their late teens and early twenties. Because autobiographical writing generally finds its way into all freshman writing curricula, it's not unusual for a freshman English instructor to read highly personal work written by students. I've read a few dozen compositions by gay men through the years, in which they describe the struggles with living in/coming out of "the closet." I always had trouble squaring the hopelessness and self-loathing I saw in these narratives with the talent, warmth, wit, charm and beauty I saw in the authors of these tales of danger, whose accounts of running away, being beaten by parents for 'coming out,' voyaging into the depths of substance abuse, and entering destructive sexual encounters taught me how dangerous both homophobia and being gay are. Escape was always the recurring motif, and suicide fantasies and scenarios were so prevalent that I came view them as mainstays of gay college guy subculture. It was through reading accounts written by undergrads double-teamed by gay-bashing faith and family that I first came to see that people die of homophobia.
In "Catholicspeak" I might say I "consecrate" my gay ministry work to my brother Scott who came out at 40, died at 45, and loved the Church for most of his life. Even though my "Irish twin" Scott, was 13 months younger than I, he was, in so many ways, the father I never had. He convinced me that I was enchanting, defended my honor, and championed my work. His life was marred by depression and substance abuse which were intensified (or brought about) by the hopelessness and strain of having to live a lie.
When Scott came out to me, I wasn't surprised, but I was shocked that he hadn't done so sooner. For all of our conscious lives he knew me to be supportive of gay people. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief when he "came out"; I celebrated it. He didn't have to hide who he was anymore. When I asked him why he hadn't come out to me earlier, he responded with a common answer. "I couldn't come out to myself."
The "love the sinner hate the sin" take on homosexuality, which the teaching authorities of a more than a few religions (including my own) espouse, is untenable. Being gay is not a sin. And when Church leaders exclude gay couples from having their children baptized, or deny gay people the sacraments, the Church degrades these people in their entirety.
Thus, I believe, they assail the mystical Body of Christ of which gay and straight people are equally part.
I knew a man who, shortly after coming out to his family, felt that he had been blessed with full acceptance by each family member and planned a visit with his out-of-town brother and his family. At the last minute, the straight brother called the gay brother and asked that the boyfriend stay at the hotel, explaining that his wife and he were not yet "ready to explain homosexuality" to their young children.
"This," the gay brother said later, "is why gay people don't come out."
This injury not only damaged the relationship between the two men, but it profaned the sacred nature of the brave and life-affirming action of coming out. This kind of transgression is usually committed out of ignorance, sexual dysfunction or fear -- not malice -- and this manner of response is certainly not limited to Christians. A few years ago, I attended a wedding of two women, which the father of one of the brides had refused to attend. In this case, religion appeared not to play a role. The bigotry was secular. But secular homophobia has its origins and roots in religion.
The father-to-be I mentioned earlier told me that he encountered resistance when he informed his devout Catholic mother that he would soon become a parent. Then he showed the future grandmother a photo of the baby who might soon become her grandchild. The mother and son put a face on it. Really, one might say, they put God's face on it - acceptance soon followed. This, I believe is how it should go.
I observed my own children at the Brooklyn Gay Pride street fair as they slalomed ahead of us through the crowds, slurping lemonades, eating grilled corn on the cob, checking out the t-shirt tents and Italian sausage booths. They were unfazed by the preponderance of same-sex couples holding hands, and all smooching was "disgusting" or "mushy" -- regardless of the gender of the "old people" (anyone over 22) doing the osculating. If the kids craned to stare, it was the girls noting a transgendered beauty, guilty of the "fashion don't" of being overdressed for a day in the park. For them it was a sunny June day, and another Brooklyn street fair. For their parents, it was a day to luxuriate a bit in our "straight pride."

The newly appointed telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has recently said that 5G trials are going to begin in the next 100 days. The formal announcement from the minister has put an end to the months of speculations. One of the largest telecom equipment providers in India, Ericsson is gearing up for the launch of 5G services. It has tied up with Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel and BSNL for 5G rollout and network planning. Here are the edited excerpts of the interaction between Nitin Bansal, Head of Ericsson India and Head of Network Solutions Ericsson South East Asia, Oceania & India and Business Today.
Business Today: How is Ericsson supporting evolution from 4G to 5G? What are the Indian operators doing right now for this transition?
Nitin Bansal: In India, there's a lot of investment happening in 4G and it's going to continue in the coming years as the demand for data will only pick up further. This means that the operators will continue to work on their 4G networks and we are helping them to provide the most efficient and seamless 4G experience to their customers. While the investments in 4G continue, we are also helping them prepare for the evolution to 5G.
For instance, we recently made an announcement that Ericsson will be deploying 5G-ready LTE equipment for Vodafone Idea. This deployment will enhance Vodafone Idea's (VIL) networks with advanced LTE capabilities now while enabling the rapid transition of sites to 5G through remote software installation in the future.
Ericsson's network technology enables evolution to full 5G deployment through natural, step-wise implementation - one that balances investment, new revenue streams and competitiveness. Our end-to-end 5G platform - across radio, core and transport networks - enables operators to evolve to new 5G capabilities in a way that matches their own business strategy, while enhancing current 4G business.
BT: What kind of investment will be required for this switch?
Bansal: The investments depend on where you start and what sort of deployments one is looking at - whether nationwide coverage from day one or addressing high footfall areas. It will also be a factor of what kind of use cases operators are readying the network for.
But we have to understand what is happening in the Indian telecom industry right now and accordingly prepare for the future. Ericsson's Mobility Report predicts that the mobile data traffic per smartphone per month is expected to grow at CAGR of 14 per cent from 6.8 GB (gigabyte) in 2018 to 15 GB in 2024. The overall mobile data traffic will grow four-fold in this time frame. To address this growth, our telecom networks need to evolve simultaneously and that needs to happen while keeping the costs down. Our studies indicate that 5G will bring down the cost per GB by about 10 times as compared to 4G, thus enabling massive efficiencies for operators.
BT: Share details of your collaborations and partnership on 5G globally and in India?
Bansal: We are the first with commercial live networks in the US, and have already deployed operational 5G networks based on commercial equipment in Europe, Middle East, Australia and Asia. We have publicly announced 5G deals with 18 operators globally. From an India market perspective, we brought the first live demonstration of 5G to India in late 2017. In 2018, we signed MoU's with Bharti Airtel and BSNL to work together to create a roadmap for 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments in India.
Also, at the India Mobile Congress 2018, we showcased 5G use cases with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. With Airtel, we demonstrated Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations leveraging high bandwidth and ultra-low latency of 5G networks to showcase mission-critical applications such as disaster response and monitoring, emergency delivery services and remote surveillance. In a joint collaboration with IIT Delhi and Reliance Jio, we have demonstrated the remote operation and control of a car that was connected over a live 5G network on 3.5 GHz band.
BT: How will the switch to 5G benefit operators? What will be the business opportunity for operators?
Bansal: The first commercial-scale beneficiaries of 5G will be mobile broadband consumers with massive and highly cost-efficient capacity expansions facilitating new applications in augmented reality and virtual reality in areas such as gaming and sports broadcasts.
5G will play a major role in industry digitalisation. Our report on 5G business potential shows that there is a $619 billion revenue opportunity for telecom operators globally by 2026. 5G mobile services are expected to create over $27 billion business opportunity for India by 2026, out of this $13 billion is the addressable revenue opportunity for mobile operators in the country. This will be on top of revenues from traditional services.
Early adopters of 5G technology will gain significant advantages when it comes to addressing the growing appetite for data services as well as leveraging the industry digitalisation opportunity. But, 5G will not just be the next big thing in telecom technology; it will be seen as critical national infrastructure.
BT: When should India expect first 5G deployments?
Bansal: We are aligned with the government's vision of bringing 5G to India by 2020 and from a technology point of view, we are ready. The Ericsson Radio System hardware has been 5G-ready since 2015 and we have already shipped more than 3 million 5G-ready radios to our customers worldwide, including in India. The whole ecosystem needs to come together for 5G to be a reality. To this effect, we are working with telecom operators, partners from other industries as well as academia to develop India-specific use cases.
