"Unfortunately, a number of macroeconomists have not fully learned the lessons of the great financial crisis. They still do not pay enough attention - en passant - to the financial sector. Financial sector crises are not as predictable. The risks build up until, wham, it hits you," Rajan has said in the interview.
A sudden shift in asset prices could happen in a variety of ways, Rajan was reported to have said in the Central Banking Journal.
The most obvious route would be as a result of investors chasing higher yields at a time when they believe central bank policies will protect them against a fall in prices. "They put the trades on even though they know what will happen as everyone attempts to exit positions at the same time - there will be major market volatility," says Rajan. "True, it may not happen if we can find a way to unwind everything steadily. But it is a big hope and prayer."
Euro is too strong
Rajan says the eurozone faces similar problems to emerging market economies, as it is affected by spillovers from ultra-loose monetary policies being pursued by the central banks such as the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and Bank of England. The RBI governor pointed out that Europe faces a disinflationary environment, close to deflation, despite pursuing a "very, very accommodative policy".
"The exchange rate is too strong given the euro area's economic standing," Rajan says. "In a world where demand is weak and not strongly influenced by monetary policy, the effect of monetary policy may be more in 'demand shifting' that is operating through the exchange rate, rather than 'demand creation' that is operating through credit growth and credit flows domestically."

Jackson Kayak Villain Creek Boat Review with Dustin Urban
Jackson Kayak Villain Review
Note: The Jackson Kayak Karma has replaced the Villain as their go-to creekboat.
The Villain is Jackson Kayak s most dedicated creek boat, forgiving and high performance not only for boaters looking to fire up steep and technical class IV and V whitewater, but also a good choice for class II-III boater. If you re looking for a good waterfall boat, this is a great option; the Villain has a displacement hull with gentle edges, translating to softer landings, smoother boofs and forgiving handling (do your back a favor and stay away from planing hull boats if you re planning to run waterfalls). Prior to the Villain, I paddled the Dagger Nomad for years, and I ve always said I thought the Nomad was one of the best creek boats out there. But the Villain S stacks up against the Nomad 8.5 quite well, handling very similarly, which is a big complement.
Handling and Performance: Quick and Forgiving
The Villain has the enough rocker to make it very maneuverable while still having the speed you need to make critical ferries and hold your line when it counts most. Gentle chines help you carve in and out of eddies, but they don t interfere with the boats excellent boofing abilities. All of these forgiving characteristics, plus the fact that it rolls easily, make this a good beginner-intermediate design as well. If you re looking for a boat that tracks (goes in a straight line) really well and surfs better than the Villain, check out the Jackson Kayak Zen. Or take it a step more playful with the Jackson Kayak Fun Runner .
Boofing Performance: A Classic Creeker
If you re looking for a high performance creek boat, it s crucial to make sure that the boat boofs well, and the Villain certainly does. It has the rocker to make straight downstream boofs a breeze, and it also preforms well on angled boofs where you make contact with a rock and need to the boat to roll/slide off the rock smoothly without tripping. A boat with a planing hull and chines (the Wave Sport Diesel, or Jackson Kayak Zen, for example) is not the best choice for tight, steep and technical creeking, in my opinion, because when you go to execute a boof like this, your chine will often catch the rock, tipping your boat downstream and throwing you into a big downstream brace.
Instead, the Villain allows you to make an angular boof like this and edge your boat upstream, allowing you to land in the eddy behind the rock with the necessary upstream edge to make a quick eddy turn or simply land in control. This performance characteristic is, in my mind, the hallmark of a good creekboat.
Pros: As I ve said, great all-around creeking performance. It s very dry, and I also love the outfitting. The uni-shock bulkhead system is probably the safest and best-thought-out in the industry. I hope not to ever piton like the shots in this video, but it s awesome to know how well this system works if I do:
Cons: My only complaint about this boat is the fact that I hit my thumbs on the outside of the boat around the knee area. If there were less of a ridge here and the boat tapered more smoothly from the sidewall to the cockpit rim, this wouldn t be a problem. Sit in it and see what you think. I haven t heard this complaint anywhere else.
Verdict: This is easily in the top three creek boats in the industry. Definitely give it a long hard look if you re looking for a dedicated creek boat for your quiver. For sizing, at 155 lbs, I prefer the Large Nomad but paddle the Villain S.

It's one thing to know the basics about marketing automation – what it is, how it works, and what it can do for you – and another to truly understand the ramifications of a system that fuses the art of marketing with hard data science. From seeing data in a different light to using technology to improve personal connections, marketing automation is more than just a new generation of software.
The Human Factor
Even if you're using marketing automation already, you can gain insight into the technology and use it as an even more effective revenue generator when you work with professionals who know every aspect of the system. Think of it as a high-performance race car; a good driver can get in and, with a little training, make it around the track in decent time, but professional drivers win races. Like a Formula One car, marketing automation is powerful, but it doesn't drive itself; a marketing automation consultant or third-party marketing firm that knows how to put it through its paces will help you win your own race to the top of your market.
Data as Inventory
Most of us think of data in the abstract, and it's hard not to. After all, there's just so much of it – about 2.5 quintillion bytes of it generated daily, according to IBM – that it's hard for us to visualize as a concrete resource.
Enter marketing automation technology.
To a marketing database, data is inventory. It has value, needs organization, and is perishable just like any product. Storing, retrieving, and moving data quickly is essential to keeping the stock fresh – in other words, ensuring its continued relevance to your marketing activities. By turning information itself into a commodity that can be managed the same way you'd restock inventory of any product or material, you're able to keep up with your customers' demands for timely, relevant marketing.
Defining User Environments
Customers are aware that their data has value too, and they're only willing to spend some of it when they know they're exchanging it for something of worth. They want to feel comfortable spending the coin of the digital realm, their data, with brands they come to know well. With marketing automation, you're able to personalize marketing channels to create the customized user experience prospects want. That's just as important (if not more so) to B2B buyers as it is in the consumer sphere as your B2B prospects typically spend more, stay loyal longer, and have a far longer sales cycle.
Scalability Matters
Unless you only have a couple of customers or a nearly one-to-one ratio of personnel to buyers, you can't personalize engagement manually. It's just not possible to make a meaningful impact in limited time without scalable software. Marketing automation that lets you carry on multiple conversations with leads in real time and delivers highly relevant content precisely when it's needed allows you to deliver the same high quality marketing interactions whether you're working with a few hundred clients or a few hundred thousand. Conventional marketing technology pre-dates the rise of social media and mobile-first design, but marketing automation has that scalability and flexibility built into it from the outset.
Once you move up to marketing automation, do more with it than just taking that high-performance vehicle around the neighborhood. Put it in the hands of professional marketing revenue drivers and watch it fly past the competition.

most days
My days are virtually the same, hour-by-hour, sitting at my desk, searching for photos, making lunches, begging telling Josh to play outside, cleaning up cat puke, and avoiding anything resembling housework. Thankfully, most days are punctuated with little bits of humor, like watching Wipeout. I know, I know, it's all kinds of wrong, but I can't help it. 🙂 And, yes, I let Josh watch it too…
Anyway, I wanted to show you a few things I typically see around here on any given day.
Look closely at the top of the photo. Yes, there is an extra cat in the picture. George is often found sleeping with toys piled on top of him.
I know I'm not the only mother in the world whose kid has extra sensory perception regarding the phone. Right? As soon as it rings, or even if I silently start to dial – he's in the room. Talking to me. Or giving me hand gestures. Anything to get my attention. Or to listen in. Every single time! This photo? If I had saved them all I would have hundreds just like it:
Have you ever been to Passive Aggressive Notes? Well, I could have had a whole website of "I'm On The Phone Notes" if I had just planned ahead.
Lately we've been on a kill the clutter kick and we've decided to have a yard sale. A whole lot of crap is now piled in the garage:
And that's not even all of it. Every day I put a little more in the pile, now named the Monster that Ate the Garage. We need to have that yard sale soon!
And last, but not least, is an older photo I found, taken by my husband that perfectly illustrates most of my days:
A cat that thinks he's a person sitting on a Garfield book with Legos and crap all over the place. If a corner of a computer and a coffee cup were in the photo it would be perfect. 🙂

We had a fabulous day at the beach with my sisters and their families yesterday. The weather was absolutely perfect, 85 and sunny, and the water was warmer than its normal freeze your toes off temp. Perfect shark weather, but no, we didn't see any. 😉
I gotta tell you, I had better pictures than this one, (all taken with my new-to-me iphone!) but my boy won't let me post them. ~sigh~ This blog has been going through some growing pangs lately, because he doesn't really want me to write about him or post pictures of him anymore. He only approved this one photo because his back was to the camera.
I'm being censored.
If we are doing anything fun or if I innocently take a photo I am often asked "you're not gonna blog about this are you mom?" Huh. I guess not!
He and I have been here before…you may have noticed there have been several posts about him lately that didn't really show him. A birthday post without a birthday boy, a science post without a clear face, a post about his treehouse with only one blurry image. As you can see, I've had to get creative with my photography. It helps that I'm not particularly good at taking pictures so blurry faces are a natural. 😉
I knew this would come eventually. I just didn't think it would be so soon! I kind of thought I had until he was 10 or 12 before he stopped letting me write about him. In fact, if he knew I wrote this recently he wouldn't be very happy about it. I published it because I know someday he'll appreciate it.
I've always self-censored anyway, not wanting to get overly personal on something that can't ever really be deleted, but I've always felt pretty free to post about his childhood. Like I own it or something! Well, he is his own person, and has the right to keep his life off the internet if that's what he wants. I still might write about him, but only if he approves it. Future photos will be faceless, like they were back when I first started and blogged anonymously. Or there won't be any photos of him at all. I just don't know yet.
What happens to a mommy blogger (ugh, it's what I've become but I still hate that word) who can't blog about her kid?? I really don't have the answer right now! It's why I don't post as often as I used to, and I don't foresee it getting any better.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't depressing. It's just different. I have to make a change. Write about my own life, or don't write at all?

holding on
His hand has always fit into mine perfectly. For years now my response to standing next to him is to hold out my hand. His response was always to take it. There is safety in holding hands, comfort, and silent communication.
This spring has shifted that, ever so slightly. His instinct to reach out hasn't changed but more often than not instantly pulls back, then glances around in case anyone saw him. Apparently seven is too old to hold hands with your mom, at least if your friends might be around.
Sometimes, even in the school parking lot, he forgets to pull away, and his fingers press lightly against my palm. I don't remind him, and I can't help but grin.
I was sitting in a rocking chair a couple of days ago, sewing a Toy Story pillowcase for his bed. He had just picked out a few yards of fleece for a new blanket and there was enough for a pillow too. Suddenly, he looked at me and asked if I could work on that later; he wanted to sit in my lap. He snuggled in, as best he could do with those long legs, and let me rock. Never say no to a seven year old boy who wants to sit in your lap, it just might be the last time he ever asks.
He lost another tooth at school yesterday. He wanted to keep it a secret, I'm assuming so he could test the tooth fairy, but he couldn't contain himself and told me within minutes of getting off the bus. The tooth fairy left a dollar last night, more than expected. He told me this morning that it must be because he's such good kid. Yes, yes that's exactly right.
Tomorrow is his last day of first grade. It's move-up-day, when he finds out who his new teacher will be, who the other kids in his class are. His excitement is palpable. As much as he will his enjoy his summer vacation, he would be just as happy to start second grade on Monday.
I'm glad we have the summer together though, to read books and play legos. Because I once he's in second grade, I doubt he will still believe in the tooth fairy, or sit in my lap, or forget himself and reach out to hold my hand anymore.

A little back story for you; when we bought this house a little over 4 years ago there was a swing set on the back lawn that was perfect for Josh (who turned 3 the month we moved in) and we asked to keep it in the contract. The sellers were more than happy to leave it behind – they really didn't want to tear it down and move it anyway.
There was also a treehouse behind it, a bit into the woods, but of course Josh was far too young for it and we didn't give it much thought for a long time. We knew the treehouse would be nice to have someday, but that it would need some work before it could be used. We just took down the ladder and left it be.
Fast forward to now, with a 7 year old boy getting bigger by the day, a swing set getting a bit rickety from tons of use, and a lonely treehouse with a rotten floor.
And a husband who is apparently really great at building things.
He has spent the last few weekends tearing out the rot, replacing support beams, putting in a new floor, and combined the components of the swing set that were still in good shape into a big kid complex!
Doesn't this make you wish you were a kid again? Who wants to come over and play?!
Filed Under the boy Tagged the boy
I can't get away with another cat picture post can I?
I can probably answer that one for myself. No. So you're getting a mommyblogger brain dump instead.
I don't have writer's block. I just don't have any time. Right now I'm in a different stage of production on six different books. Four of them in super duper tight deadline mode. Arghhhhhh! I feel like I have a white rabbit running around the inside of my brain muttering I'm late, I'm late, I'm late….and I really hate being late!
Then there's baseball. Why oh why did I talk Josh into playing baseball this year?? Because I knew he would love it dang it, and he does. And I would too if only I had time to go to all of it. Two games a week, one a week night and one always on Saturday, plus Sunday afternoon practices. My weekends are wicked fun.
Did I mention before that Josh won't let me talk to him during games? Apparently I embarrass him or something…just like I used to do to my mother when I played softball. That? Would be karma, biting me very, very hard.
Sometimes coach asks me to be dugout mom, that is, keeping the kids from killing each other when they are waiting for their turn to bat. Back when Josh played t-ball that really was like herding very funny cats. Alas, they are cute little kitties kiddies no more. With first and second graders, it's more like herding howler monkeys, they're fast, loud, and are always trying to climb the fence.
Except they really are kinda cute. (Even though they all hate that word!) There's just something about a seven year old wearing a batting glove:
Anyway. This is my life right now. Work interspersed with baseball. And very little sleep.

kicking cancer's ass one science post at a time
If you don't know WhyMommy, well, you should. And if you do know her then you know why I'm doing this.
I was very fortunate to meet and hug (and eat chocolate-dipped fruit with!) Susan aka WhyMommy at BlogHer this summer, but I feel like I've known her for oh so much longer. I've been a reader of her blog Toddler Planet for years, long before I was a blogger myself. One thing that has always been clear in her writing is that throughout her trials with cancer, Susan is first a mother. She's also, quite literally, a rocket scientist.
Some of you may know that Susan has recently been diagnosed with cancer again, and is undergoing surgery again, today. We wanted to do a little something to support her, in the way only bloggers know how. In the spirit of Susan's love for her kids and for teaching them science we bring you Team WhyMommy's Virtual Science Fair! (Thanks to the amazing Stimey for the putting it all together!)
So the science fair project I did with Josh was one he didn't actually know was happening. I stealth-scienced him. 🙂
My goal for this last week was to fit any science topics I could more into our daily life and conversations, whenever and wherever they seemed to fit. Here's a few of the highlights!
First we took a walk in the swamp behind our house. It's early for the frogs yet, (and for mosquitoes for that matter! Yay!) but even without spotting any wildlife we enjoyed it. Clearly he did:
It's so pretty back there, and we've never really taken the time to appreciate it. I'm so glad we did. And we'll be going back weekly to watch the changes as spring and summer progress.
While we were up in Maine this weekend, we had a chance to stop by my friend's house to see her new baby cow named DC. Short for Diet Coke, the cow was only 3 days old, (!!) and as cute as can be. I don't think Josh has ever petted a cow before, at least not a tiny one. I wish I had gotten pictures though! I didn't even think of it. He also got to pet one of her chickens, which she picks up and holds just like I do with my cat. (She's been known to comment under the alias "Cluckers" here. I wonder why?)
When we got back to my parent's house from visiting Cluckers, it was dark and the sky was full of stars. Josh and I really don't get to see that very often. We have too many trees, and far too much light pollution around our own house. So I made him stop and look. I pointed out Orion, and Cassiopeia, and he asked where the Big Dipper was. Now I'm planning an evening out with him, with a star map in hand, and we're going to look at the stars for as long he wants to!
One of the most fun things we did this week was taking a walk by a nearby brook that looked more like a river from the heavy rains we've had.
Whoa! Of course we talked about the flooding, and we inspected the edges to see how high the waters had come up just a few days before.
See where he's standing? All of that was underwater!
Then he found a clearing and danced like a leprechaun! So much for real science. 🙂
This week has made me realize that I really don't do enough of this stuff with my kid. Sure we spend lots of time together, and he loves to read science books, but we don't experience it as much as we should. I think we just forget to stop and pay attention to things during our usual hectic days, but now that we've started I'm not going to stop our science adventures, it's been too much fun!
Thank you Susan, for inspiring us in so many ways! I hope you can look at the stars with your boys again soon. xo

party on
Okay, I have officially lost my mind.
So we're having a birthday party for Josh this weekend. AT MY HOUSE. His birthday happens to fall on Saturday this year so naturally that seemed appropriate for a full out party. I am so dumb.
Last year Damon was out of town on Josh's birthday and we did very little for it. Josh was so mad at us! It seemed (even to me) like every kid in his class last year had a huge party and he was the only one who didn't. He was so upset he actually told all of his friends he was having one and they were all invited. Uh, no. And oy. Yes, I made him go back to school and tell them the truth.
We started planning this one shortly after that little incident. This party is a year in the making. So it should be well planned yes? Heh.
So yeah. Anyway, we invited every kid in his class. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
We also invited a few of his close friends from his class last year, as well as a few close friends that have kids around the same age and live nearby.
And almost everyone has said yes.
Not that I wanted anyone to say no!! I really like everyone we've invited, but still…
Put it this way; I've made 28 goodie bags so far. Twenty-eight. And I'm afraid we're going to run out.
A couple of things are going in my favor.
- I thought in advance to ask one of my friends with older kids if they can help monster kid-wrangle, and at least one if not all three are going to actually do it. And yes, Nicole, I am paying them whether you like it or not. pffft.
- Most of the parents are planning to stay. I've bribed them with adult friendly food. (Pulled pork!)
- Josh doesn't want any typical party games. It's a Lego party, and we're going to just play Legos!
- The weather is supposed to be gorgeous. Partly cloudy and 71 degrees. 71 degrees! In March! In NEW HAMPSHIRE! We can throw the kids play outside!!
Even so, I'm still a little scared. And clearly, insane. And I hope I didn't just jinx myself and it's going pour buckets on Saturday instead.
Dear Josh, you'd better enjoy your party, because I'm never doing this again. Love, Mom.
Sigh. Maybe.
At least getting ready for the party has kept me too frantic to have time to think about the fact that my baby is turning 7. ::weeping::
Filed Under family, humor, life, the boy Tagged birthday, crazy, life, the boy
Most evenings we let Josh have one tv show before bed. Usually he has a snack and plays Legos while he watches, but once in awhile I have the pleasure of cuddles instead. Tonight was one of those rare nights, and I don't ever take them for granted. Damon has been out of town for a few days, and Josh needed some mommy time.
Josh cozied up to me on the couch, and then George snuggled up to him. Sigh.
Josh loves his cat, and George loves his boy.
My foot fell asleep but I didn't move an inch. There was no way I was going to be the one to disturb them!

If you're reading this blog, then chances are you're a geek* too, so you know what I'm talking about. And you get why I'm actively striving to raise a geek. But not just in an I-<3-scifi kind of way. In a I-love-to-read and question-the-universe and take-things-apart-just-to-rebuild-them-all-day-long kind of way.
I don't talk about Josh's brains much here because it can get awkward and braggy sounding and I don't want to be ~that~ mom. But, it's something I need to talk about sometimes because omg the kid makes me crazy with the smarts. I'm a little bit afraid.
For example. He's now reading The Hobbit. (Not an abridged version.) I was looking for something to read TO him that would challenge his listening skills. After I finished reading a few pages and Damon finished reading a few pages he took it to bed with him and read it for another half an hour alone.
Of course, reading alone in bed is a nightly event and highly encouraged, but The Hobbit? Really? Surely he didn't understand any of it? Right? Hmmm. So after the second time he read some of it alone, we questioned him, and he was perfectly able to recount the whole chapter to us. To be completely honest, I am floored.
Remember, he is still 6. Six. First grade.
Anyway, we are encouraging the geek in him:
- He goes to a second grade classroom for reading group twice a week. (Not my idea, but I'm really happy they found a way to challenge him! His reading level seems to be somewhere around the 4th grade.)
- Damon rebuilt a computer and gave it to Josh for Christmas so he could learn how to email and navigate. For extra geekiness it's running a linux based operating system, just for fun. All extremely supervised by me of course. Cause, seriously, he's six. (He like to email puns and knock-knock jokes to his grandmother.)
- Next month he starts an 8 week First Lego League session. Cause it's never too soon to learn robotics. Heh. (And this is where the "I'm a little scared" part comes in. Just what kind of robot is he going to think up?)
Last Friday I asked him if he wanted me to get him anything from the library since I was going while he was in school. He thought for a moment and said "can you get me some good non-fiction?" Um. Yeah. I'll get right on that.
Don't get me wrong, he's definitely a six year old in so many ways. We don't even push him to do any of this, it's happening spontaneously, and I'm left stunned by the things he says and does. So I throw as many geeky** things his way, and we'll see what sticks. If you have any ideas what I should throw at him next, I'm all ears.
*It's important to note that around here geek is a good word, nay, a great word. We pride ourselves on our geekdom.
**Including some scifi. Ahem.

yes you can have thanksgiving without turkey
Our turkey disguised himself and got away.
So we had a pork roast instead. Mmmmmhhmmm! Okay, the truth is Damon doesn't particularly like turkey and since we were staying home this year he requested the pork roast. It was a good choice, and frankly it made my day really easy.
We also had the best dang carrots ever! I made them with brown sugar, agave nectar, (I was low on honey and it was a fantastic substitution) butter, and vanilla. I'll never make honey glazed carrots with honey again!
It was just the three of us, simple, quiet, and lovely. A day to be thankful for.
Did I just hear a collective "awwww" 🙂 or was it just me?
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! xoxo

Inadequate brakes are a big no-no if you'd like to achieve safe and sound driving, and in fact, a top quality Mitsubishi Galant brake disc will help you avoid such a situation. Whenever you hit your break pedal, friction induces your car or truck to slow down and your brake disc bears all that friction as well as the heat it generates to provide smooth automobile stoppage.

WRC at the forefront of emerging contaminants research
Despite considerable progress in water research undertaken over the past decade, there is increasing concern over the presence of the so called "emerging contaminants" (ECs) in the environment as well as their potential human health risks. The Water Research Commission (WRC) has realised that more needs to be done in order to understand, assess and manage the risks associated with emerging contaminants in the environment, to advance the science, as well as to communicate with the authorities and the public.
The WRC has over the years played a critical role in co-ordinating and funding water research in South Africa. The WRC research programme on ECs was formally launched in a workshop held in Pretoria in 1999, and a strategic research plan was consequently developed and published by the WRC in 2005. Since then, there have been a number of related studies and 2015 was an opportune time to review the ten years' worth of research done.
The WRC together with stakeholders in the water sector, including water professionals, government representatives, water services institution personnel, consumers, public health practitioners, researchers, the medical community, and communication experts, met on the 22 July 2015 in Centurion in order to discuss the issue at length and share new research developments, as well as formulate a research strategy on how to tackle the problem in hand in order to improve our understanding on the full potential human and ecosystem health effects of these contaminants in our water resources.
Mr Dhesigen Naidoo WRC CEO, emphasised the importance of engaging in such talks a as transformation of the current water treatment system through technology is fast growing. According to Professor Henk Bouwman of the North West University, more and more emerging contaminants of concern are being detected at various concentrations in the environment, what is important is to have a clear understanding of the impact of such chemicals and their mixtures on human health as well as ecosystem health in general.
Dr Audrey Levine, a Fulbright Fellow and Program Director at National Research Council, United States of America, offered valuable insights on global perspectives on emerging contaminant management issues. In particular, she pointed out the need for new or hybrid approaches for managing contaminants, to assist in the screening of contaminants and prioritizing research. In addition, more research is needed to look into ways of developing new treatment process configurations or better still, improving on current processes to target the removal of emerging contaminants to certain acceptable limits before water is either discharged into the environment or distributed for drinking purposes.
Ms Noluzuko Gwayi, a Senior Policy Advisor at the Department of Environmental Affairs, stressed on the importance of development of policy with regards to the establishment of monitoring programs; the addition of contaminants to a priority list of contaminants that requires regulation, and establishment of a national committee to help identify information gaps that may help define research needs for South Africa and international partners to better understand these issues.
All stakeholders were in agreement that, more needs to be done on this issue, particularly, towards hazardous waste collections and more should be done to raise awareness amongst consumers on the proper disposal of pharmaceutical products, in order to safeguard against the entry of these contaminants into our water systems.
In addition, there is need for a change in consumer chemical consumption behaviours in order to decrease our exposure to emerging contaminants. For example, consumers should opt for safer alternatives of home and personal care products. Apart from changes in consumer behaviours, there needs to be drastic policy reforms, to ensure that human and environmental health aspects are taken into consideration (by conducting comprehensive health risk assessments) for any chemical products before its manufacture and introduction into the marketplace. Introduction of appropriate policies can also result in the correct labelling of products, such that the consumer is aware of the potential health effects of the product, and can in fact choose to use or not to use that product based on its chemical content.
For more information please contact Dr Nonhlanhla Kalebaila, Research Manager for Water Use and Waste Management email : email@example.com .

Eating Vegan in Morocco: Rabat
16 comments:
Great photos! The stork nests are awesome. Morocco looks gorgeous, and thank goodness for that bread!ReplyDelete
Fun fun fun! I'm glad you found things to eat despite some bumps in the road.ReplyDelete
Welcome back! Sounds and looks like an amazing trip despite the lack of vegan-friendly eating places. But what you did find looks great, especially those olives and bread and the fruit too. And I'm very interested in the minty tea too. :-)ReplyDelete
It is good to see you back.ReplyDelete
Hi Amey! This is so excellent. I leave for Morocco on Sunday, and this post will be helpful, as will any others. I've traveled a lot as a vegan, but am anxious about this trip and finding vegan eats. I will go to Rabat and Fes. Do you have any advice about what to wear? Do women need long skirts/long sleeves? Any restaurant recommendations?ReplyDelete
It all looks so colourful and yummie. I especially love the picture of the fruits and vegetables.ReplyDelete


text: ok. I bashed it after I saw it the first time. But here's the deal. I am an old school G1 fanboy. I LOVED the first cartoon when it came out. I was the market for Transformers when they started out. I bought toys from the first line when they were released in stores. My parents put Wheeljack on layaway at Service Merchandise for crying outloud. and I wasn't enthused by what Transformers turned into. Beastwars, RID, Armada, all that junk. I felt like it ripped the soul out of the whole deal. Robots that turned into animals? Pokemon influences? come on. and when I tuned into Animated, I felt like they had killed it. They 'Teen Titaned' the Transformers. It was like Muppet Babies. But as I've watched the show, I've really come to appreciate the fact that they are staying completely loyal to G1. Like no other show has. I've learned to love the unique style. And I've felt it has evolved and grown up. I love the characters, and I love the figures. And just when I see this, they cancel it.

The Himalayan Ranges and the adjoining plains of the Tibetan Plateau have largely been imprinted by "Tibetan culture". Ethnical Tibetans live in an area the size of Central Europe. Their cultural influence extends far beyond the Tibet Autonomous Region in China – the former religious and political center – into large parts of Chinese provinces such as Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan and Xinjiang as well as neighboring countries such as India, northern Nepal and entire Bhutan.
Since the heyday of the Tibetan Empire (7th – 9th century) a distinct and more or less coherent "Tibetan" culture has spread over a vast area in central Asia. It endured the change of political systems, waves of migration, wars and the influence of competing cultural values. Though fragmented into local kingdoms and numerous Buddhist sects, a stable cross-border cultural reference survived that created a unique and common identity for people living in an area stretching over more than 3,000 kilometers of the Himalayas.
Part of this identity is a distinct and extremely rich architectural tradition. While originating from the Tibetan Plateau, it shows surprising diversity and flexible adaptation to local climatic conditions, economic necessities, the availability of building materials and the influence of other ethnic groups.
Our Research Project, which was funded by a four-year grant from the German Research Foundation, aims to capture the richness and diversity of Tibetan vernacular farmhouse architecture by documenting selected buildings in a cross-country approach. Typical buildings in the Himalayan region were surveyed and documented. Drawings were complemented by interviews on the historical and social contexts, and an exploration of the symbolic and anthropological aspects of traditional building and craftsmanship. We envisage that the Research Project will contribute to a better understanding of what may be called a "traditional ecology of building" that is based on an intricate balance of locally available resources, energy consumption, investment and the deriving social, economic and cultural benefits.
We believe that the documentation of vernacular farmhouses deserves special attention: not only do they represent the most widespread authentic cultural asset of Tibetan culture, they are also a rapidly vanishing species. In contrast to religious buildings such as monasteries and temples that have attracted a huge amount of international attention and academic research, vernacular farmhouses have been grossly neglected. A proper documentation seems urgent not only because of the architectural value of vernacular architecture but also because, with increasing modernization, even remote areas experience rapid changes in terms of accessibility, building materials, values, styles etc. In some regions the traditional farmhouse architecture is not far from becoming extinct.
It is our pleasure to inform you about the publication of our book: Tibetan Houses- Vernacular Architecture of the Himalayas and Environs (Birkhäuser September 2017).
This book presents an in depth documentation of selected examples of farmhouses across the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas based on a four year research project supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
The book documents in detail 19 traditional houses scattered over a vast area stretching from Ladakh in the west to the culturally Tibetan parts of Sichuan in the east. They demonstrate the quality of traditional craftsmanship and architectural richness. A second part offers a comparative study of construction elements – such as walls, roofs and facades – using hand-drawn construction details and photographs.
We hope this publication will be of interest to you.
Peter Herrle and Anna Wozniak

I understand about your wife's sense of aesthetics. Mine shares this wonderful attribute.
I think we need to educate them about the absolute beauty of a well organized collection and display of clamps. (And other tools)
It is very much a wreath in its own right!

Great project. Stumpy is a pretty clever guy and you did a great job making it look good.
My wife has a wreath for Every. Single. Holiday. So I offer my commiseration.

Timber Gap Trail is a 9.8 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Mineral King, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from June until October.
nature trips
wild flowers
no dogs
Directions from Lookout Point Entrance: Follow Mineral King Road eastward to its end. Find the Sawtooth Trailhead and follow the Monarch Lakes Trail northeastward a quarter mile to a fork in the trail. The left side of the fork leads northward to Timber Gap.
Nice one, did it along with part of the bigger loop, very nice, not too steep (vs. sawtooth)
There were 4 of us. We (us older ones) chose this trail because the Mineral King map describes this hike as 2 miles one way and moderate. My girlfriend and I are in OK shape, but I living at sea level definitely noticed the altitude. But we kept on and stopped along the way to take pictures (rest break). Thanks to my son and nephew who put up with us slower pokes. This is indeed a must do. (There is only 1 trail marker; at the fork showing left for Timber Gap and right for Monarch Lakes (4.5 miles one way). Keep going past the actually "peak" and continue until you come to where the creeks is running over the trail. A little beyond this point are some trees, and a view that is breath taking. I'm so glad we kept on. I did it!! I'm glad I didn't know it was 6 miles (round trip), I probably wouldn't have done it.

If you are a UK taxpayer and you make a donation to CAT charity of any size, we can now reclaim the tax you have already paid on your gift. This means that for every £1 you donate, CAT can reclaim a further 28p from the taxman at no extra cost to you.
It is incredibly simple to set up - you just complete the form and that's it.
The one form will cover all donations from that time on, whatever size they are and whether they are made regularly or not. If you stop paying tax for whatever reason, just tell us and we will cancel your form.
It's as easy as that!
Please, even if you're not able to make a donation today, complete the form. We can then have it ready if you choose to make a gift in the future.

|[jira] [Assigned] (DERBY-5445) Enhance existing concurrency test to stress sequence generators to also stress identity columns
|Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:28:35 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Mamta A.

Satoor > Assignee: Mamta A. Satoor > > DERBY-4565 added a concurrency test for sequence generators to test the possible race condition for allocating a new range of pre-allocated numbers for the sequence. I have been looking at enhancing that test to provide similar test for identity columns. I plan to add another command line parameter to the test which will run the concurrency test to stress identity column generator. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Music Maestro: What song are you?
"What song are you?"
In a brief moment of downtime the other day I did one of those online personality tests, where the resulting song is meant to represent your personality. I shared it with my friends on Facebook and soon they were all at it. It was just a bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously…
Or was it "just a bit of fun"? The comments amongst my friends and I hint at something more fundamental. Those songs represent a common experience; a common language we could all engage in and that we actively chose to do so.
You see, music is undeniably powerful. Yet it is also intimate and often subliminal.
The High Street plugged in to the power of music a long time ago. However, the choice of a playlist can be hit and miss. It's my belief that the time has come for retail brands – and not just fashion retailers - to pay expert attention to their sound and develop a brand soundtrack.
Silence is awkward and instinctively avoided, but frequently individual store staff are left to improvise by plugging in their mp3 player with their own choice of tracks on shuffle.
For organisations that have often spent millions developing their brand, leaving something as important as a brand's soundtrack to chance is, at best, risky. For starters you have the issue of potentially causing offence through bad language on a track or inappropriate lyrics.
But it's not just about avoiding causing offence. Music has a positive contribution to make. It can provide a richer brand experience if expertly matched to the brand and delivered to accommodate your customers' requirements as they change throughout the day and across different regions. So what's playing in a London flagship store at 6pm on a Friday might be slightly different to a smaller outlet in, say, Bath. And what's playing in that same Bath outlet at 6pm is likely to be different to what was playing 10.30am that same morning.
Leaving the soundtrack to "shuffle" should never be an option as it takes a knowledgeable ear to translate a brand into audio, to adapt that sound to different demographics and to apply that audio-branding consistently, but adaptively, over days, weeks, months and years.
I know that for large retailers with multiple stores, an in-house "Live Radio" feel syndicated over their stores has been one highly effective solution, albeit an expensive one. A more cost-effective option is the use of bespoke pre recorded radio shows but without the expense of your own dedicated radio station. PEL's 'MediainStore', for example, uses the latest audio scheduling technology, enabling it to transmit radio programmes and playlists to every location that is set up to receive the service.
For smaller retailers, a music only supply service such as PEL's 'MusicStore' would be more suitable. A music playlist is created which reflects the brand image and customer profile and updated monthly to keep it fresh. Award winning hair salon chain Rush sums up the benefits of this route: "Music is important to our company's image" states Carole Dowd, Operations Support Manager for Rush. "The quality of the sound is important; so is what's played. We want uniformity across the salons and to ensure this we needed greater control of the playlist. Using 'MusicStore' we can ensure the right ambience. PEL can even adapt the music on a demographic basis to meet the slightly different requirements of an inner London salon with one in the suburbs. Plus they can alter the music to the time of day, with more chilled music in the morning and something more energising towards the end of the day."
Getting a brand's soundtrack tone and balance right doesn't have to be overly complicated or expensive, but it does need to be done by professionals who understand that brand and have a wealth of music knowledge. Regardless if the customer size, there is a music supply service out there to meet their budget and requirements.
Oh yes, my song, in case you're wondering, from that online testwas that 2006 classic by the Scissor Sisters. I think that's just ridiculous …I *always* "feel like dancin"!

The Times-Tribune reportsthat Ephraim Gorton, a 29-year-old inmate at USP Canaan (PA), died this morning after sustaining life-threatening injuries:
A federal inmate at a Wayne County prison died this morning after a fight with another inmate in a prison housing unit sent him to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.[…]
Staff responded to the fight and separated the inmates, she said. The second inmate, who has not been named, was treated for minor injuries. No other inmates or staff members were injured.
The cause of Mr. Goitom's death and most details about the fight are not being released as the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigates the incident, she said. The prison will remain on lockdown during the investigation.

The Publicis Groupe advertising agency competed for the account against the chain's nine-month incumbent, Square One, Dallas, as well as finalists Crispin Porter Bogusky, Miami; and Interpublic Group of Cos.' Austin Kelley, Atlanta. Consultant Pile & Co., Boston, conducted the review.
The Dallas-headquartered chain's 32 units across the country are a combination restaurant and entertainment complex that features carnival-style games as well as billiards and virtual reality systems.
Dave & Buster's officially parts ways with Square One on Sept. 1 and Fallon will begin work defining the brand. Some efforts will start to appear in the fall, but a full-fledged campaign won't begin until early 2004, said Maria Miller, senior vice president of marketing for Dave & Buster's, who joined the company in May.
"We're trying to build the business and generate sales," Ms. Miller said about the new marketing appointment. Same-store sales at the chain fell 3.2% in 2002 and were down 7.5% in the second quarter ended May 4. Because of the economic woes, the chain tabled expansion plans and cut hourly and management staff.
The company said it is adding more games and amusements to each unit and that it will continue to push event programs and is planning a guest loyalty program.

Our Story
I've always loved good and honest food. As a registered nutritionist*, I'm a great believer in nutritious calories that give your body something other than energy. It frustrates me that there are so many treats coming to market claiming to be healthy when they aren't. At home I used to make chocolate avocado mousse - a combo of avocado, cocoa and maple syrup. It was great but I wanted to turn it into a dessert that was delicious but also as nutritiously balanced as possible. That meant a lot of tasting and testing. The Onist ingredients are all nutritiously dense - avocados, dates, cashew nuts, cocoa, lime juice and natural extracts, nothing else. All ingredients are Organic and Fairtrade and all the pots are suitable for vegans and those on a paleo or gluten free diet. I'm super happy with the end result - even my friends who are die-hard milk chocolate fans love it.
I also really wanted to create a company that could make a difference. I worked for Jamie Oliver as nutritionist for several years and he inspired me to think about sustainable business practices. I passionately believe that socially responsible business is the future and it is how all companies, especially food companies should run. I've partnered with a charity in Gambia called Pandys so that for every Onist pot you buy, you are buying a healthy breakfast for a child in need. The businesses tagline is 'buy one, give one'.
There have been a lot of ups and downs and different challenges along the way but I was over the moon to see the first few pots fly of the shelves at our first stockist in Oxford early last year. I am now running Onist full time and we are available in several places, and have recently launched our online shop, but there is still a long way to go.

Perhaps, I could call this Garage Sale Linking!
My wife tells me I gotta clear out the garage. I have what seems to be a lifetime of killer sales, and marketing books, tapes, cd's etc. Yah, I am a pack rat.
I was going to sell them on Ebay or give them away. However, I thought perhaps you dear reader could use them. My clean garage is your gain kind of thing.
Besides, I had just read Bernice Ross' piece on the Movie the Secret and she says you have to clear out your "closet" to allow for more. So who am I to argue with Bernice?!(She podcasts some really cool positive real estate news)
So I am going to run some promotions like best comment of the month. Or best post of the month or day. It should be fun and my wife will love me and thank you for it!
So keep an eye open for our first promotion.

Geocaching is a fun and interesting game that allows you to spend healthy outdoor time with your family and friends. But, you can also enjoy this game on your own. Geocaching is a perfect combination of nature, hard work, critical thinking and just plain fun! It's perfect for those who want to stay fit but don't particularly love the gym. It's hard to be out of shape and love to geocache. If you've never done it before, these few steps will get up to speed and ready to roll!
Pick up a GPS receiver
It doesn't matter how you will get one; you can buy it, borrow or rent it. Even easier, most smartphones come fully equipped with an already installed GPS receiver. Since geocaching is based on GPS coordinates, you really can't play without one. A better GPS will allow you to handle the tougher Colorado back country and still know where you're going. But your phone will let you handle some basic geocaches and will be fine for urban geocaching.
Open An Account
To start playing, you need to find a reliable website and open an account with them. Some of them will offer you free access to caching data, and you will have all the site features available, while others will offer you a premium membership. It means you will be able to get access to more advanced features of the website. A large variety of websites offer caches nowadays; you just need to find the right one. Look for a future blog post on user reviews of the popular geocaching apps.
Use the search option and start small
Once you've made your pick and set up your account, it's now time to find a treasure! And they are hidden everywhere. Use whatever app you picked to find some of the simpler hunts to start with.
Trade small items
Don't forget to bring something with you while during your hunt! Specifically, something you're willing to trade for whatever you find in the cache. Many caches follow themes, so if you already know the theme, bring something to trade according to that.
Recognize the cache
They can come in different shapes and sizes and even colors, so pay attention closely. Once you find it, you will need to replace it in the same way, as they were before. Keep in mind that Geocaches are never buried underground. Some people will leave more detailed hints than others as far as the location of the cache. Others will go out of their way to make finding the treasure as hard as possible.
After you find your first cache, contact us and tell us the story of your first experience with Colorado geocaching!
