Since then, I've seen it, or other similar bees, making the same journey to gather water from the tray and then, presumably, head back to the hive. Getting into the tray was the easy bit. Getting out tended to be more of a struggle.

Not to mention, you now have a team of experts at your disposal should you have questions or last-minute needs. Let's start with answering what Gross Margin means:
In accounting and finance, the gross margin is calculated as revenue less cost of goods sold.
The gross margin provides a bookkeeper with a method to track the direct profit associated with the actual exchange of goods and services for income.
The cost of goods sold includes only the direct labor and the material costs of the goods sold. It does not include indirect costs, overhead cost, and sales-related expenses.
The review and analysis of gross margin is crucial.
If the accounts are not properly managed, a company can keep all prices and costs set, increase sales, but have a decrease in income due to a change in the percentage of sales of products with varying levels of gross margin.

But when his good intentions are put to the test by saving an old homeless man from some street thugs, the mysterious man shows his gratitude by...burning a tattoo onto Seigi's palm?!
It turns out, the tattoo is a powerful secret weapon that everyone—including a formidable girl with a tattoo of her own—is after. With his life on the line and his martial arts skills alone no match against super-powered foes, will Seigi be able to unlock the latent potential of his tattoo and live to fight another day?!"

Even With Fresh Rate Cut, a Bear Market Awaits
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S DECISION TODAY TO CUT the key fed-funds rate by 50 basis points is still just one event in what could well turn into a true bear market. Unless the next few days bring a sizable rally, the weight of the technical evidence will still point to a continued rocky road for weeks to come.
Getting Technical has covered several indicators in recent weeks that have fallen into the bear camp. From volatility spikes to trend changes, and market breadth to more arcane technical fare, chart watchers have many reasons to doubt that the bottom has been made.
But when so much is being made about what the Fed is doing by not only stock-market pundits but also mainstream news and even politicians, we have to step back to let the dust settle. From a charting perspective, the stock market is at a very critical juncture with the Standard & Poor's 500 facing very stiff resistance (see Chart 1).
Chart 1
Two weeks ago, the index fell below a 20-point-wide support zone surrounding 1369. Confirming the significance of the event was progressively increasing volume, indicating that this was driven by an urgency to sell and not just a lack of buying interest.
After the upside reversal of Jan. 23, volume decreased each day in a classic definition of a corrective rally. Bargain hunters were active, but it is hard to say that true buying demand came back into the market. And now with prices once again at the former support zone, which is now acting as resistance, it is decision time for the market.
The technicals are lined up to end the rally and send the S&P back down for at least another test of the low, if not another leg lower. But that does not take into account the importance the world is placing on the Fed's move today. If, after the initial gyrations calm down, the index punches through resistance by perhaps 2% or more then all of the short-term negatives on the chart become moot.
Under such a turnaround win for the bulls, again a short-term event, we would have to once again look at the charts to find a likely target. We would also have to reconcile the short-term bullishness with the longer-term bearish evidence that still remains.
For the S&P 500, a rally back to the low 1400s would be consistent with a rally within the context of a bear market (see Chart 2).
Chart 2
At that level, chartists will note the meeting of several features that should give traders reason to take profits. These include a trendline drawn from the October peak, the 50-day moving average and a price level at which many investors can use to "get out even."
Anyone buying the market at anytime of the first three weeks of this year is now in the red. A rally up to early January levels would allow everyone to sell without incurring a loss, and psychologically this is a very satisfying opportunity. But that will bring out a surge in supply to put the brakes on the recovery.
Whether the market will end its recovery this week, or sometime in the near future at the ceiling just mentioned, is more of a trader's call than an investor's. After that, the bears are likely to resume control.
Phil Roth, CMT, chief technical analyst at Miller Tabak & Co., agrees that there is more downside ahead. Many of his reasons emanate from reduced liquidity in the market today.
One of the factors many analysts cited in the bull market through last year was that not only was demand for equities growing thanks to cheap financing from the yen carry trade, but the supply of shares for purchase was shrinking. Roth notes that the big contraction in supply (corporate buybacks exceeding new equity financing) of 2004 through mid-2007 seems to have abated in the second half of last year.
He also contends that institutional demand, notably from state and local government retirement funds, has peaked, as they try to reduce the percentage of domestic equities in their portfolios and diversify into foreign stocks and real estate.
As a first sign that liquidity has begun to increase, Roth wants to see money flow from money-market funds back into stocks, but he sees little evidence of that happening yet.
Combining chart levels with such behind-the-scenes liquidity conditions should keep the bulls on the defensive no matter what the short-term swings following the Fed decision will be. Investors should remain cautious and try to reduce risk within their portfolios no matter what their bull/bear leanings may be.

Emotions and emotionality
What is Emotion……………………………………………………………………………........3
The Main Emotions……………………………………………………………………….4
Emotion Recognition……………………………………………………………………...5
The Importance of Emotions…………………………………………………………………….6
Every human being on this planet has the ability to feel, the ability to somehow respond to the surrounding world with feelings and emotions inside of them. Emotionality is part of everyone and emotions arise every now and then. The way people express them are different, there are some who barely show it, some who are "too emotional" and those who express it in a way that is more acceptable and considered normal by the society. By normal, I exclude those who show their emotions in a very sincere but maybe a bit too appalling way (having fears that trigger a behaviour considered weird by others, such as being overly protective, showing their love in a very radical way etc.). Those who hardly show their emotions, if at all, are often considered as cold and heartless persons. There have been many researches carried out with the aim to find out the essence of emotions and the truth behind it, but as many other subjects of research, which cannot be precisely measured and theories cannot be based on mathematical calculations, so does emotion and emotionality leave a lot of quesitions pending, which can get very controversial responses from different psychologists. That is why I shall raise some of these questions here and try to find an answer with the help of literature and researches that have been sucsessfully carried out already. Is there actually a difference between emotions and feelings? What are actually the main emotions that cause different actions? How do people express emotions? Why is the emotionality of people...

The 3 Health Benefits I Notice from Eating Lots of Garlic
Posted on
One of my all-time favorite smells is garlic filling the room when it hits a pan and begins to sizzle. If you're like me, you can appreciate that all good savory recipes start with garlic, olive oil, and a nice flame on the range. I know you know what I'm talking about. What you may not know are the many benefits that come from eating garlic.
People have known for centuries that garlic combats infections and disease. Its antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties make it an all-around superb natural healer. Newly focused research has shown that garlic is fantastic for a myriad of issues and may even fight cancer.
Garlic is a member of the allium family, and as such, contains a sulfuric compound called allicin. This is what makes it a powerhouse in the fight against cancer.
Garlic should be eaten raw, or as close to raw as possible, to get the full effect of allicin. When cooking with garlic, chop it before you begin to prep your other ingredients. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, which will give the allicin adequate time to release before you pop it in the sauté pan. Whether you cook it as a base for other ingredients or mince it and add it to homemade salad dressing or meat, garlic is amazing for your health. Let's look at three ways that garlic can make your life better.
Great Skin
Garlic contains sulfuric compounds that decrease inflammatory skin issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. I get that smelling like garlic is probably not top on your list of how to get great skin (or a date, for that matter), but a simple mask of coconut oil and garlic can do wonders for your skin. Should acne be a problem for you, you can peel and cut a clove of garlic and rub a slice of it over the affected area.
Way More Energy
Consuming garlic prior to hitting the gym might seem a wee bit odd, but you might want to give it a go! Garlic is packed with nutrients like vitamins B6 and C, manganese, selenium, and fiber. You get all of those benefits without a heavy calorie load, and you'll even get a small bit of carbs and protein from it.
Garlic does your heart good, too. Research shows that consuming an amount comparable to four cloves was actually as powerful as a high blood pressure drug called Atenolol. Because smart red blood cells can turn the sulfuric compounds of garlic into hydrogen sulfide gas, blood pressure is lowered and blood vessels are widened.
Garlic also gives the "bad" cholesterol (LDL) a kick in the pants to the tune of lowering it by as much as 15%. It's also been shown to prevent atherosclerosis, a cardiac disease that deposits plaque on the artery walls, which causes a hardening of the arteries and restricted blood flow.
Sick and Tired? Never!
Garlic is your immune system's friend. Seriously. A study that took place during the height of the cold season in the UK discovered that those participants who used garlic had 60% fewer colds. Not only that, but the duration of the colds was shorter.
Try steeping crushed garlic, lemon, and honey in hot water for an extremely effective cold remedy. Fancy that! Tea time isn't just for our friends across the pond anymore.
Garlic is a superhero antioxidant against which inflammation-causing free radicals don't stand a chance. Increased inflammation in the body can be a springboard for a whole slew of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Garlic is also a must-have for anyone suffering from an autoimmune disease.
Garlic is useful against heavy metals in the blood, too. Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are all heavy metals that can come from a variety of sources such as lead paint ingestion, food, unsuitably coated food containers, medicines, industrial exposures, and air or water pollution. They can poison you and wreak havoc on your body. A study showed that use of garlic led to a 19% decrease in the blood lead concentration in men who worked in a battery factory.
While I don't like to talk about too many disgusting topics, there's one I must address: sometimes food has parasites and bacteria in it. I know, gross. But regular intake of garlic can combat the negative effects those little guys can have on your system. Research shows that fresh garlic can treat E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enteritidis.
Used topically, garlic ground into a paste and combined with coconut oil can help with areas of the skin impacted by parasites or worms. Athlete's foot and jock itch can also be treated with an addition of garlic to your diet.
Okay, let's get back to the good stuff. I've used garlic not only in tea form and in cooking, as I mentioned before, but I've also thrown a couple of cloves in the blender with olive oil, some fresh raspberries, a bit of apple cider vinegar, and raw honey to make a delightful and healthy vinaigrette.
There are so many wonderful ways to incorporate garlic into your life. It's been around for a very long time and has been used by humans for its healthy and distinctive benefits. Bottom line, garlic is a delicious addition to any diet and can be used in a variety of ways. So go on, try a little today and feel amazing tomorrow!

The Oldest Old Project: Millie Garfield
Wednesday, 01 October 2008
[EDITORIAL NOTE: I am out of town for several days this week. In my absence, are stories from five elders and/or bloggers who have contributed to what I am calling The Oldest Old Project. They had to be at least 80 to participate and I asked how their lives had changed in the 20 or more years since they were 60. Today, Millie Garfield, who blogs at My Mom's Blog.]
In January 2007, I wrote a post titled, My Trip From 65 to 81. I'm 83 now and have reread what my thoughts were then and where I'm coming from today.
I'm still the same confident and independent person I was then. Being independent is even more important to me now. The few times that I've needed help, it was there for me but I realize that the more help I would get, the more dependent I would become. It's nice for someone else to drive you where you want to go, do your shopping for you and make your meals, BUT I would lose my independence. Better to work a little harder and be able to do for yourself.
Years ago when someone invited me to join them in some activity, I would be quick to accept. Now I seem to be more selective about who and how I spend my time. I'd rather stay home than be doing something that gives me no satisfaction. I thought we mellow with age and are not as critical of others but I have become more aware of how and who I spend my time with.
Recently I was with a group of ladies and the subject of age came up. One of the women asked me, "How come you put your age on your blog?"
I was surprised at the question! My answer was, "I'm comfortable and proud of my age." When I was in my late 20's and not married I would not advertise my age because at that time girls were getting married in their early 20s and I was considered "an old maid."
One lady said she wished she was 16 again, another said she's like to be 50 again. Forget that, I wouldn't want to go through all that again.
There is a lot to say about how health effects a person's life. When I made the move from my home to a condo, I was 71. Looking back at it now, that was a good time to make the move. I could adjust to my new surroundings and start a whole new life.
For a while, I had been considering moving to a retirement community; as a matter of fact I have been on a wait list for the past year. As time goes, by my thoughts have changed. It would be too much for me to deal with now - new surroundings, new people and new adjustments.
Friendships are affected by health too. One friend is now in an assisted living facility - we talk on the phone. Another friend has many limitations - we talk on the phone. And so it goes.
I eat right, take my medications but the one thing I don't do is exercise - that has always been my downfall, BUT hopefully that will change: I just signed up for an exercise program at the local community center. I'm always interested in trying something new, so this should give me a new challenge.
The days, weeks, months and years fly by so fast.
When I first started taking medication, I had this small pill box. Then I needed a larger pill box. Before I turned around, I had to refill the pill box so often I bought another one - filled two weeks of pills at one time. Now I am going to buy a third pill box - fill three weeks of pills at one time!!
[At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Georgie Bright Kunkel writes about her remarkable cousin in Ninety-Seven and Counting.]

CALDER Valley MP Craig Whittaker will be the special guest at an event to promote apprenticeships.
Mr Whittaker will join Calderdale Mayor Clr John Hardy at an open day tomorrow at electrical design and installations company Projex Solutions in Brighouse.
The event aims to promote apprenticeships among local businesses. Projex Solutions is an avid supporter of apprenticeships.
Managing director Jamie Ashton said apprenticeships now offered a wider scope of skills than the traditional electrical, plumbing and engineering and included areas such as sales and administration.
He said: "For many years now we have identified a range of skill shortages and truly believe apprenticeships are about planting the seeds for the future growth of our business."
Projex Solutions provides electrical testing and electrical design work for organisations such as BASF, Linthwaite-based Thornton & Ross and Bradford-based Seabrook Crisps.
The open day, which runs from noon to 3pm, will provide a chance for local firms to learn from the firm's experiences.

Plasmid #3 serves as a template for tagging target proteins with N-terminal CL7 tag. It has three options for the 5' placement of target genes (see cloning options below), and XhoI is the 3' cloning site. All three options require a stop codon encoded in the 3' cloning primer. There is an existing 1711 base pair restriction fragment inserted at the HindIII/XhoI restriction sites.
Transcription is induced with IPTG and driven by the T7 RNA polymerase. The plasmid is designed for expression in E. coli.
The CL7 tag for purification is fused to the N-terminus of the target protein, upstream of the SUMO cleavage site.
CLEAVAGE SITE(S)Plasmid #3 includes two protease sites: a SUMO and Sortase A (SRT) cleavage site exist between the CL7 binding site and downstream target protein.
The plasmid includes an N-terminal thioredoxin (Trx) tag upstream of the CL7 tag.
1. HindIII/XhoI Insertion Site – Trx | CL7 | SUMO | SRT | Gene of Interest
2. KpnI/XhoI Insertion Site – Trx | CL7 | SUMO | Gene of Interest
3. Bsu36I/XhoI Insertion Site – Trx | CL7 | SUMO | Gene of Interest
The Bsu36I/XhoI insertion scheme maintains the Gene of Interest's wildtype sequence without adding any extra residues. The N-terminus of the Gene of Interest must include the following to complete the SUMO C-terminal sequence:

Part of IMPACT Wrestling's success has to do with its unpredictability and being able to surprise it's fans oh so well! Tonight at the IMPACT Plus special Bash At The Brewery, IMPACT did it again when The North, Josh Alexander, and All Ego Ethan Page, defeated the mighty IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions, LAX to become the new tag team champions. The match itself was very hard hitting and it seemed as though The North came in with a game plan after scouting and watching tape of LAX members Santana and Ortiz during their dominating reign as the tag team champions.
Upon winning the titles and before walking to the back, All Ego went to the camera and said that this was just the beginning and that they own tag team wrestling. There is no doubt that the formidable team can do some significant damage to the tag team division. Meanwhile, what happens to the Latin American Exchange though? Melissa Santos provided an update on what would happen at IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary saying that the tag team match that was scheduled to be The Rascalz versus LAX for the titles has now been changed to The North defending their newly won titles versus The Rascalz this Sunday night.
Melissa Santos did question however if the match on Sunday could be a three-way tag match for the tag titles and that there could be a further update on the match throughout the weekend. IMPACT Wrestling has a very busy weekend with airing four shows in three days with tonight having the Bash At The Brewery on IMPACT Plus, the promotion's weekly IMPACT Wrestling show also airing tonight, and tomorrow, Deep IMPACT featuring Booker T's Reality Of Wrestling promotion as both companies co-host the big event, and Slammiversary XVII to top off the weekend.

This is not the first taste of gold for the duo of Josh Alexander and Ethan Page. The two have teamed together going all the way back to 2011. Monster Mafia is what they are also known as; they've held the tag team gold for Pro Wrestling Guerilla, Fringe Pro Wrestling, and the now defunct Insane Wrestling League. The duo also appeared for Ring of Honor for a stint in 2014.

'She didn't make it, Larry': Video of Barrington man confessing to shooting wife showed in court
Barrington man accused of killing wife after dispute about coffee maker
The Barrington man charged with fatally shooting his wife during an argument over a coffee maker told police in a recorded interview that he didn't know what made him angry enough to pull the trigger.
Portions of the 2½-hour video depicting Larry Lotz's Jan. 15, 2016, interview with Barrington police were shown in court Tuesday. Lotz, 69, is charged with first-degree murder and chose to have a bench trial, which is being presided over by Lake County Circuit Judge Daniel Shanes.
In the video, Lotz sat with two detectives and told them he and his wife, Karen Lotz, began arguing soon after she got home from work because he had left the coffee maker on. He retreated to a room in the garage that he called his man cave.
Lotz told the detectives he locked the door and went to his desk. When he heard his wife enter and resume yelling at him, he became so angry he pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot himself in the head, he told police.
"I cocked it, pulled the trigger, and nothing happened," Lotz told detectives in the video.
When the gun wouldn't fire, he was going to set it on his desk, Lotz told police. But as his wife continued yelling at him, he said, he pointed the gun at her and started firing.
"I don't know how you become enraged over a stupid coffee pot," Lotz told police.
After about 20 minutes of the interview had passed, Lotz asked Detective Kevin Croke if his wife was alive.
"She didn't make it, Larry," Croke told Lotz on the video. Lotz put his head in his hands and wept.
Lotz was in the courtroom Tuesday while the video played. He mostly looked down at the table and occasionally wiped his eyes.
On the video, detectives asked Lotz several times why he shot his wife.
"That's what I can't tell you. I honestly don't know," he said. "I can't explain it. What explanation can you give for killing somebody?"
As the interview was ending, detectives asked Lotz if he had anything else important to tell them.
"Anything important to say? Well, I ruined my kid's life, I ruined my life, I ruined her family's life," Lotz said. As the detectives stood to leave, Lotz told them, "You do what you got to do."
Defense attorney Robert Hauser said several times in court Tuesday and during previous hearings that Lotz suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and he plans to use the condition as part of an insanity defense.
Later Tuesday, Hauser called Karen Lotz's older sister, Mary A. Kobinski, to testify as a character witness. Hauser asked Kobinski why she agreed to testify on behalf of the man who shot and killed her sister.
"We believe in our heart of hearts that Larry would not have done this if he was in the right frame of mind," she said.
Lotz is free on $3 million bail but has been on an electronic monitoring device since May 2016. Lotz, a Vietnam War veteran, was permitted to leave home confinement in February 2017 to be admitted into an in-house treatment facility for PTSD at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago.

Brand consistency is vital for the success of any business to face its competitors. It is the pattern that effects people what they think about the brand and its product and services to maintain the longevity of the brand in the market. The more consistent your brand message is, the more powerful your business is. So, the most important factor to have the consistency of your brand in the market is to develop trust and loyalty among your buyers. Branding is the key to distinguish your brand from other competitors. So, the successful brands in the market are based on genuineness which is drawn from real achievements, strengths, emotions that are alive in all levels of any organization
5 reasons why brand consistency is significant:
1) Increases consumers trust:
If you deliver consistent messages to your customers, then it automatically enhances the trust and credibility among them. It is very important to retain the business credibility to maintain a long term relationship with them because your buyers have an emotional attachment with your brand, so brand consistency in such case will be very significant.
2) Enhances customer's loyalty:
Your consumers trust the brand they recognize and building customer's loyalty is to help consumers know your brand at the personal level. Brand consistency plays a great part in building trust among your buyers to experience them all channels of communications
3) Makes your brand more dependable:
Building a brand identity does not happen overnight it takes time and patience, so discipline and commitment are required. Therefore, every business must develop certain attributes such as credibility, investor trust, supplier confidence, and happy customers to make the brand more dependable and consistent in the market.
4) Improves the perception of your brand:
To maintain the consistency of the brand and improve the customer's perception towards your brand, it is very essential to spread consistent brand messages to your buyers. You should gain trust among your target audience to go a long way in your business and maintain a strong relationship with your consumers.
5) Facilitate steady brand evolution:
The main component of brand consistency is brand evolution because as the needs of the market changes your company's product and service will also change. So, it is very much important for your brand to reflect such changes and make the changes accordingly. This maintains the authenticity and reliability of your organization amid the major changes in the market.
The brand consistency of your business will allow your core message to reach your target audience which will help to solidify brand recognition. It is the practice of delivering messages to your buyers and ensuring that your brand is easily recognizable among other channels to evoke positive emotions. So, to hold a strong grip in the market, it is very important to communicate the message repeatedly that will set your company apart from the rest.

Former Conservative councillor and Mayor of Brent Gwen Tookey dies aged 96
PUBLISHED: 17:54 18 October 2016 | UPDATED: 17:54 18 October 2016
A former Mayor of Brent who had a street in the borough named after has died at the age of 96.
Gwen Tookey was a former Conservative councillor in the borough and held the mayor title in 1995 to 1996.
Born Gwendoline Biggs in a tenement yard in London in 1920, she had three sisters and four brothers.
She excelled academically but her parents were unable to afford for her to pursue further education so she left school at the age of 14.
She became a Sunday school teacher and in 1942 she married Normal Tookey, who was in the Royal Army Corps, and they went on to have on child – a daughter called Katie.
Mr Tookey died in 1972.
During the World War II Mrs Tookey was a volunteer fire watcher and an aircraft inspector.
In 1968 she became a Conservative councillor for the Kingsbury ward, a position she held for 20 years and was also a governor at Claremont High and Kingsbury Green Primary school.
She sat on every committee and sub-committee during her time in the council and
Tookey Close in Kenton was named in her honour.
Madeleine Sutherland, Mrs Tookey's goddaughter said: "I have known her literally all your life. I would visit her every two weeks.
"The general opinion of Gwen was she was cankerous, difficult, forceful but she got a hell of a lot done in her life.
"I would like to thank the Catholic Voluntary Service and her carers
Jim O'Sullivan, former Conservative councillor for Barnhill and ex-Mayor of Brent, added: "This is sad news and she will be missed.
"Gwen served the community for many years and there must be many, many people out there she helped greatly."
Mrs Tookey's funeral took place in Harrow last week.
She leaves behind her daughter and four grandchildren.

Streetwalkers say thanks
Dear editor:
On behalf of the Mountain Home Fire Department "Streetwalkers," I would like to thank each and every one of you, individuals and businesses alike, who donated so generously to the annual Fourth of July fireworks.
We are always overwhelmed each year how this community comes together to make our fireworks such a success.
Once again, we exceeded our expectations. This is the first year, after some last-minute donations on the 4th of July, we exceeded the $11,000 mark in one year.
My "Streetwalker" crew consists of the following: Vickie Bermensolo, Mary Beth Brown, Sharon Fletcher, Terry Knox, June Lonigro, Nancy Mason, Elise Mathias, Mary Miracle, Carol Mooney, Mary Lou Pursell, Janette Rost and Theresa Wilson. These girls work extra hard on Wednesday evenings walking in your neighborhoods asking for donations for the fireworks from March through June to make each Fourth of July show a little better each year.
I would also like to thank Fire Chief Alan Bennensolo and all of the firemen for their tremendous dedication and pride in the City of Mountain Home. We as a community are lucky to have such a great group of men and women.
Say a prayer for all the firemen everywhere to be safe.
I hope you enjoyed the fireworks this year as much as your "Streetwalkers" did and we look forward to next year when we hit the streets to come knocking at your door.
-- Marianne Bate, Streetwalker "Boss"

Windows Vista Digital Cable Tuners
Here is one cool looking Windows Vista device, a Windows Vista Digital Cable Tuner. Robert McLaws has posted some pictures of the unboxing of his, and will be detailing the device, it's abilities and it's limitations.
Last year at CES, Microsoft announced that with Vista Media Center, home users would be able to record high-definition television. Through OpenCable Receivers (OCURs) sold through system OEMs, you?d be able to plug a CableCARD into a box attached to your computer and record pristine digital cable, even in HD. AnandTech had a great article on them, even posting some pictures of an early prototype.
Well, I?ve been able to experience this system first-hand over the last six months, and this is one of the many Vista-related technologies that I?m really excited about. The OCUR name is gone, in favor of ?Digital Cable Tuners?, or DCTs. The reason for the change was to bring the terminology in line with the existing analog products on the market for the last decade. Source: Exclusive: Windows Vista Digital Cable Tuners
He is also planning on interviewing some people from ATI about the inner workings of this device.

August 27, 2020–Dogs and cats and coyotes are some of the main characters in book 2, The Hunt for Fang (April 2021). To mark National Dog Day, I shared an excerpt on YouTube. In this scene, some strange sounds outside waken Jack and his little sister Midge. YEEOOWWL!
July 22, 2020–Book 2 of the Tree Street Kids series is demanding my attention like a hungry, sleepy, and poopy toddler. I'm working hard to get the draft to the finish line at the beginning of September . . . and into the hands of my editor. And exciting news! We have an OFFICIAL TITLE! View the video!
June 17, 2020–Here's my analogy for the draft (thus far) of book 2: a quintuple-knotted shoelace on the sneaker of a kid who just returned from a day of frog hunting in a muddy creek. (Also the shoelace is missing its aglet.) But it's OK! We see how life can feel the same as a rough draft. A utter mess. Pages and pages full of conflicts and not enough resolutions. But we keep using our words and our gifts and our belief in a better story.
This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. –Toni Morrison
April 16, 2020–Check out our new YouTube channel for a read-aloud from Jack vs. the Tornado! In addition, you'll find a playlist of our weekly Kids' Table Book Review.
March 22, 2020–I wish I could share the photos moms and dads sent of their kids reading the first draft of Jack vs. the Tornado. The kids did great and provided helpful (and honest!) feedback. Plus, I'm working with a wonderful editor who has written her own children's books.
Now that the first book is written and edited . . . on to book 2!
No title yet, but in the second book of the Tree Street Series, Jack and his friends learn some survival skills at the church's summer camp. They'll need them! Determined to find Ruthie's lost cat and protect Jack's new puppy from Fang, the local wildlife, the kids head deep into the woods. Just when they think they've cornered the "enemy," the kids realize someone has gone missing.
Here I am sheltering at home, like many of you, because of the corona virus. I'm imagining I'm in the Gryffindor Common Room with a nice fire crackling and words magically pouring from my laptop keys like music (i.e., like a squeaky wheel–life is a little distracting these days, isn't it?).
I hope you are finding fun and inspiring books to read!
January 11, 2020–Happy New Year, readers! And thanks! I'm already getting some amazing and helpful feedback from the Tree Street Kids Reading Team and their parents. I wish I could post the great photos you guys are sending. I heard one family ate dinner in the dark so their kids could wear the headlamps they got in their reader kits. That's a cool family.
PLUS! I'm really excited and thankful to now have an official editor for Jack vs. the Tornado. Being a book editor myself (nonfiction), I know how much editors can help writers see places to improve their books. An editor is a writer's second pair of eyes (kind of like the eyes moms seem to have in the back of their heads).
(Btw, this is not my editor.)
December 31, 2019–I'm finishing the decade today with "The End." Tomorrow the spruced up draft of Jack vs. the Volcano goes to beta readers (aka the Tree Street Reading Team)!
December 10, 2019–The beta reader welcome kits are getting packed and ready to mail! Each item relates to a character in Book 1, Jack vs. the Tornado.🌪 Now to finish the first round of edits . . . (tchotchkes are so distracting!)
December 6, 2019–Have you ever slidden into home base a split second before the ball hits the catcher's mitt? I haven't. But I DID finish the first draft of Jack vs. the Volcano the day before my self-imposed deadline of Dec. 1. It took a minute to feel the relief, to let out the breath I've been holding, but I did get on my knees and read a few psalms of praise aloud…alotloud.
Now on to the first self-edit before—GULP and YAY!—the book goes to beta readers! I'm taking a break from social media this month—except for our Thursday #thekidstablebookreview on Instagram—to make more time for editing…oh, and Christmas.
I would SO appreciate a prayer from you as I edit. For clarity and patience and even new vision.
November 25, 2019–This week I started the FINALE of Jack vs. the Tornado. (If you're a writer and curious, the finale is "beat 14" in Jessica Brody's Save the Cat Writes a Novel.) Ironically, I was writing the finale as the sun was rising. And my draft was way less spectacular than that amazing sunrise.
This is often how you get a book written . . . in itsy, bitsy, (bumpy) blocks of time . . . When you're exhausted from 12-hour work/commute days . . . When you're not sure how the story is ever going to come together. When the sunrise is TOTALLY showing you up. Actually, maybe it was totally cheering me on. Yep. That's it.
November 16, 2019–Welcome letters have been sent to the moms and dads of the TREE STREET KIDS READERS TEAM members!
These beta readers will be giving me honest (OW! OOCH! YAY!) feedback on Jack vs. the Tornado after they read the first draft at the end of the year.
Can't wait to send them their official TSKRT pins!

4/10/2008 at 4:12 pm #7213highpointersclubParticipant[Ed: Imported from Americas Roof 'Summit Trip Reports' forum][By: Kevin Mikolajczak on April 10 2008 at 4:12 PM][Link: http://www.network54.com/Forum/198362/message/1207858342/Black+Mountain%2C+KY+March+22%2C+2008]Out of the nine high points we have done so far, this was our least favorite and most scary!. We approached the high point from the Virginia side because we did Mt Rogers earlier in the day. The road up was very steep and full of twists and turns. As you get closer to the top you can look back down and see the effects mining has had on the mountain. It's sad.
As we crested the mountain we looked to our left to see the FAA sign and dirt road as described in "Highpoint Adventures" by Charlie and Diane Winger, my highpoit bible. We headed past the gate up the narrow road to the summit. I was afraid of this road because I have a Honda Civic that sits very low to the ground and there were a few deep potholes. Needless to say I took it very slow because the last thing I wanted to do was blow out a tire so far away from help!
We parked just beyond the FAA radar site where the paved road surface ends. From here we walked a short distance up a dirt road to the summit. The summit is just plain ugly and very unimpressive! There was trash and broken bottles scattered everywhere. As we were taking pictures under the firetower, we heard a radio playing music in the cinderblock building behind us. Now I know for a fact that we did not pass any cars on the way up nor did we see any other cars parked at the summit, so I knew we were alone. At this point the kids and I got REALLY creeped out because we didn't know if there was anyone in there or not! To be truthful I didn't want to find out either. All I could think about was the movie "Deliverance".
We quickly walked closer to the woods to search for the true highpoint, took our pictures, and got the heck out of there. I'm telling you, my kids were really scared. Again I had to drive down slowly because of the condition of the road. When we got back down to the FAA sign, we took our pictures near the bullet riddled "Welcome to Kentucky" sign. FYI, this was my first time back to Kentucky since I left Army basic training at Fort Konx in 1994. We made a left onto Routh 160 and headed into Lynch, KY, glad that this highpoint was behind us.

How does Power over Ethernet (PoE) work?
- Open Mesh Access Points
Power over Ethernet (PoE) works by sending power across unused Ethernet wire pairs in the CAT5 (or CAT6) cable, or via phantom power (802.3af).
PoE does not need a separate power cable to the access point from a power outlet. PoE is advantageous if you wish to place a unit in a spot where power is not readily available, and running a power cable is cumbersome.

Here in Santa Cruz County, the decision to make compost from old food scraps and other materials is a personal one—there are no municipal programs in place that take the guess work out of the process. That means it's up to you to come up with a plan for your home or business to manage that would-be waste and, in the process, help off-set harmful greenhouse gas emissions that result when organic matter enters our landfills.
According to CalRecycle, California collectively adds approximately 30 million tons of waste to landfills each year—40 percent of which could be composted. While some cities around the nation, such as San Francisco, have implemented collection program for food waste, most, including Santa Cruz, do not offer compost pick-up.
A key issue with managing compostable materials, residentially and commercially, is transportation and having a facility to treat and transform the waste into something useful. Currently, the closest entity that does this is the Monterey Regional Waste Management District, located in Marina. That facility is fully equipped to not only produce compost but also generate electricity through a process called anaerobic digestion.
Santa Cruz does transport some compostable material to the facility, but at a larger scale the transit needs would begin to cancel out the benefits, says Mary Simmons, waste reduction program manager for the City of Santa Cruz.
What about existing resources closer to home? One possible solution is sharing an existing anaerobic digestion system that is already up and running at the Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Facility, Simmons says. "It is very expensive to build a digestion facility, which is why existing infrastructure makes a lot more sense," she says.
Noticing the need for more local composting, entrepreneur Ivy Young was inspired to create the Santa Cruz Community Compost Company. She and her small team ride bicycles equipped to transport buckets and pick up their clients' compost bins for $5 per week. They haul the buckets' contents to a plot of land at the Homeless Garden Project, where they convert it into compost and then donate it to the farm or back to their customers through a "community-reward system."
"In some ways the residential pick up by bike might seem less efficient, but in other aspects, like the ecological foot print, it's actually much better," Young says. "A municipal program would be good, but I think localizing the management is the key."
Young says that, on average, each client produces about 10 pounds of compostable material per week. Since the company's start in 2014, they have diverted more than 300,000 pounds of waste from landfills.
The City of Santa Cruz has offered a rebate program since 2001 to incentivize residents to manage compost at home, says Simmons. With proof of residency, locals can get $40 back on compost collection bin expenses. Simmons says that, while a municipal program is an eventual goal for the city, the primary focus is on encouraging people to reduce the waste stream at the place of origin: their own kitchen. To date, about 1,650 compost bin rebates have been redeemed.
"Composting at home is the perfect circular system for managing this material," Simmons says. "If you can collect it and where it originates and put it right back into your own soil, you're doing an important part."
While incentivizing community members to compost at home is important, according to Cary Oshins, associate director of the U.S. Composting Council, another big piece of the puzzle is the commercial aspect: grocery outlets, restaurants, schools, and certain manufacturers that produce large volumes of compostable material.
In an effort to address that need, the City of Santa Cruz began a pilot program in September 2017 that offers food-scrap collection for 20 commercial businesses including Charlie Hong Kong and The Bagelry, Simmons says. The program is part of Assembly Bill 1826, signed in 2014, that requires business to recycle their organic material depending on the amount they generate per week.
"Ultimately, composting is about recycling our nutrients back into the land, and what we learn from nature is that there is no waste," Oshins says. "In the natural environment, everything gets recycled. Composting is the technology that allows us to do the same, and it should be practiced at all scales."
Sidebar/Graphic Content
A few benefits of composting: Making compost for your garden is like feeding it probiotics. It will thank you with bountiful yields and delicious produce. According to The Food Revolution Network, compost in soil promotes a higher yield of crops, reduces or eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers, helps to remove solids, oil, grease and heavy metals from stormwater runoff, and much more.
The ideal location: It is best to locate a compost bin in partial shade, such as under a tree or overhang, Simmons says.
Staples of a good compost batch: Egg shells, coffee grounds, grass clippings, fruit and vegetable scraps, and so much more.
A few compostable items that may come as a surprise: Pet hair, wood chips, popcorn, stale bread, dryer lint, seaweed, and contents from your vacuum cleaner bag.
Does your compost have a bad smell? That likely means there are too many green materials, which can be neutralized by adding dry leaves.
Are flies frequenting your compost batch? Always be sure to bury new food scraps about a foot below the surface in the center of the pile. Otherwise flies and other pests may become a nuisance.
Keep out: Do not add any meat, dairy products or oily, fatty foods to your compost. Be sure to churn the pile regularly and lay gopher wire under the bin to prevent critters from chewing up into your batch.

She said though she didn't enjoy the marriage, her parents didn't permit her to jump from man to man.
Patience Ozokwor further advised women never to leave their husbands unless when their life is in danger.
