Scanner sees everything, as do customs officers
By Valentina Koverina
"Brest Customs Service has a two-sided task: to process cargo as quickly as possible; and to identify prohibited goods," explains the head of Brest Customs Service, Leonid Dosov.
Russia and the EU are keen to see Belarusian customs form a reliable shield, protecting against smuggling across the EU and the Customs Union: across West and East. China has allocated around $4m of free assistance to install and service the first stationary scanning system for large-haul vehicles on the western border of the Customs Union (the first of its kind). The new device allows for more thorough inspection and can process up to 15 trucks hourly, working day and night.
"Previously, we had to unload a vehicle if we were in any doubt, calculating the cargo and comparing it against the documents submitted by a driver. This is no longer necessary, as operators can view high-quality x-ray pictures to decide whether additional inspection is needed. It takes us just 3-4 minutes to adopt a thoroughly thought-out decision," notes Mr. Dosov.
During the scanning process, any 'suspicious' vehicles are sent to the x-ray box, where 6 megaelectronvolts scan the cargo; it's even easier when the vehicle has steel sides (up to 30cm) rather than tarpaulin. Importantly, safety rules are adhered to, with crash gates and an infrared barrier. If anyone steps in, the x-rays automatically stop, so there's no real cause for concern. Meanwhile, food, cosmetics and medicine's quality are unaffected. He explains, "Our x-rays do not even influence electric appliances or transport vehicles."
The device was trialled for several weeks, during which time customs officers detected illegal cargoes on their way to Russia: alcohol, food and flowers. "A similar device is to be installed on the railway, to scan cargo transported in containers," Mr. Dosov tells us.
Instalment along the western border of the Customs Union is the next huge task being undertaken by Belarus' State Customs Committee. A complex programme for the development of road checkpoints is running from 2011 to 2015, with much achieved last year alone. The State Customs Committee's Press Service tells us that Domachevo checkpoint, built on the Polish border, is now operational. Peschatka checkpoint is still being built while Privalka (at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border) and Grigorovshchina (at the Belarusian-Latvian border) are being modernised, with similar plans for Verkhny Terebezhov (at the Belarusian-Ukrainian border) and Urbany (at the Belarusian-Latvian border).
The results are evident: after the Domachevo and Kozlovichi cargo terminals came into operation, processing capacity rose to 28,000 vehicles daily (against 24,000 in 2010). This enables Belarusian customs officers to work quickly and thoroughly, while reducing the time spent in queues.

The film that could shatter Tommy Cooper's good name for ever: Adultery. Wife beating. And a comic as loved as he was flawed
- The new ITV film explores the life of a comic who, until his death 30 years ago, was seen as unimpeachable
- At his peak, Tommy Cooper was earning £750,000 a year
- However, according to the programme, the comedian's struggles with drink unleashed a much darker side of his character
- The film has been endorsed by Cooper's surviving daughter
A hideously drunk man and his wife stagger out from a smoke-filled London pub and begin shouting at each other in the street. Voices rise, and insults are hurled. Soon, the couple start pushing and shoving.
A handbag is swung; swear words exchanged. Then, to the horror of onlookers, the man throws a vicious right hook. As the camera pans, we see the middle-aged duo fall to the ground and begin wrestling on the concrete pavement.
Not long afterwards, the same, strikingly tall man is inebriated once more, slurring his words in the bar of a provincial hotel. It's very late at night. Glancing at the bar, he spots a different woman — not his wife, but his mistress — pouring whisky into an ice bucket, in an apparent effort to cut short his drunken binge.

Tommy with children Vicky and Thomas in 1961. The comic's troubled side was revealed only recently
The man gets up from the table, and clenches his fist, menacingly. The camera fades . . .
The following day, we see the mistress on a train. Dark glasses cover a black eye, and a violent purple bruise has spread across her cheek.
These harrowing scenes of domestic abuse are part of an eye-opening new drama at the centre of ITV's Easter Weekend schedules. Called Not Like That, Like This, and with a glittering cast that includes David Threlfall, of Shameless fame, Harry Potter actress Helen McCrory and New Tricks star Amanda Redman, the TV film explores the life of a man who has been regarded as an unimpeachable legend of British showbusiness.
That man is Tommy Cooper. And for three decades, until his death in 1984, aged 63, he was one of the nation's most bankable prime-time stars. With his trademark Fez, and impeccable comic timing, Cooper was idolised everywhere from working men's clubs, where he performed live several times a week, to Buckingham Palace — the Queen was a huge fan.
At its peak, in the Seventies, his routine — a bumbling magic act — helped earn him the then astonishing sum of £750,000 a year. His TV programme, The Tommy Cooper Hour, had millions of viewers. He starred in more Royal Variety Performances than any other entertainer.
Tommy with his wife Gwen but, under the happy facade, the comic was prone to violent outbursts
Yet, as Monday's programme demonstrates, Cooper's happy-go-lucky exterior masked a flawed genius. Behind the smile was a tricky, sometimes frightening character. An alcoholic, who needed a bottle of brandy before heading onstage — and used to joke: 'I'm on a whisky diet, I've lost three days already! — Cooper's drunkenness weighed heavily on his nearest and dearest.
Though loved by the public, he could be staggeringly cruel towards the fans and autograph hunters who approached him off duty.
ITV's new film exposes these murky character traits, focusing on the final 17 years of Cooper's career, when he conducted an affair with his stage manager, Mary Kay.
During this period, the 6ft 4in Cooper maintained a double life, living with Kay while touring, but resuming domestic duties on his return to West London, where he shared a large house in Chiswick with wife Gwen and their two children.
This arrangement was an open secret in showbusiness circles, but Cooper kept it from being made public (and being known to Gwen) through threats, deceit, and the occasional act of intimidation. The new film does not shy away from showing Cooper at his worst. In several scenes, he suddenly loses his cool, clenching his fists and shouting menacingly.
Curiously, given the ugly nature of these scenes, the drama, written by Men Behaving Badly creator Simon Nye, is the first film about Cooper to have been endorsed by his surviving daughter, Vicky. She met Amanda Redman, who plays her mother, and consulted on the script.
'She does not want to see her parents being trashed, so she got the script,' Nye says. 'We were anxious, but she was very nice about it.'
Vicky's views on the finished product, which is being aired in the week of the 30th anniversary of Tommy's death, are unknown. She did not respond to requests for a comment this week.
However, some of Cooper's friends have concerns. 'It's a very good film. Brilliant, really. But I do hope it doesn't tarnish his image too much,' says comedian Barry Cryer. 'Tommy was a genius, but obviously a less-than-perfect man.'
Like most of Cooper's friends, Cryer witnessed the fall-out from his relationship with Mary, who he met in 1964. She was married to composer Norman Kay, with whom she had three children.
'We all knew about it, but you just kept quiet,' he tells me. 'We used to joke about it behind his back, because the idea of Tommy in any sexual context was funny. But it was painful for Gwen and the children.
'I wasn't privy to the violent side of Tommy, and never saw Mary with a black eye, but clearly there were occasional explosions. He had a sadistic side, and could be quite cruel with fans. He sulked if he wasn't the centre of attention.'
That murky character trait first came to light in 2011, when extracts from the diaries of Cooper's agent Miff Ferrie were published. The diaries, which form the basis of much of the ITV film, revealed how in 1969 Ferrie took a call from Gwen, saying she was leaving Tommy because he had hit her in front of the children.
The agent's unspoken assumption is presumably that he usually attacked her out of their sight.
In 1973, Ferrie recorded: 'She is divorcing him . . . he keeps beating her . . . I spoke to [Tommy] who said she must be drunk! It would be farcical if it weren't so tragic.'
Another time, Ferrie noted: 'She is divorcing Tommy. Can't stand it any more. He keeps beating her up. Last time was on their anniversary.'

A few weeks later, he wrote: 'She has had enough. He drinks all the time . . . he gets violent . . . goes to bed at 5am then goes down to the kitchen and starts drinking again.'
In an interview three years ago, Mary's son Tony said: 'I met Tommy about half a dozen times. There were things about him I liked, and things I didn't. There were stormy moments with my mother when she came back with bruises.'
In a biography, author John Fisher described an incident in a Derby restaurant in which Cooper 'flung [Mary] to the floor after she laughed at his complaint that the crackling with his roast pork was soggy'.
Fisher also told how during a row, Cooper ripped apart the seam of an expensive new dress he had brought Mary. On a third occasion, he tore her watch off her wrist and threw it across the room.
Fisher's book also laid bare Cooper's legendary meanness, noting that despite his enormous wealth: 'He was acknowledged as the tightest man in the business.'
Mary Kay was Tommy's stage manager and his mistress while they were on the road touring
Stage doormen were never offered a tip, but a choice of three envelopes, all empty. 'Better luck next time!' he'd say, when they picked one. Taxi drivers were told 'have a drink on me!' as he stuffed not a banknote, but a teabag in their top pocket.
The selfishness was perhaps a product of his modest background. Born in 1921, he grew up in Exeter, where his father had an ice cream van. He took up conjuring as a child, after an aunt bought him box of magic tricks.
And he was just 14 when, during a performance in the canteen of the factory where he was an apprentice, he hit upon the act that would make him famous.
'I did everything wrong. But the audience loved it,' Cooper later recalled. 'The more I panicked and made a mess of everything, the more they laughed. I came off and cried, but five minutes later I could still hear the sound of the laughter in my ears and was thinking maybe there's a living to be made here.'
The act Cooper developed was of an incompetent magician who mostly fluffed his tricks but very occasionally pulled one off in spectacular fashion.

Though his material could be corny ('Doctor, doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains . . . Well, pull yourself together'), his delivery was perfect. And his hapless stage persona won over the public.
During World War II, he was entertaining troops in Egypt. One night, performing a sketch that needed him to wear a helmet, he found his prop box empty, so stole a fez from a waiter. It became his trademark. After the war, he married Gwen, a farmer's daughter nicknamed 'Dove', who had also worked as a services comedienne in the Middle East.
By the mid-Fifties, they had a son, Thomas, and a daughter, Vicky. Cooper had his first television series and was playing the top venues. During the Sixties he grew into a major star, loved for his daft jokes ('I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't half mad') and cheeky demeanour.
Cooper's status as a public treasure was cemented when he was presented to the Queen at the 1964 Royal Variety Show. He asked whether she liked football.
When Her Majesty replied 'no', he asked for her Cup Final tickets. Stratospheric success, however, would soon lead to excessive and often reckless drinking.
At his peak, Tommy Cooper commanded an audience of millions and was earning £750,000 a year
'Tommy was a heavy, heavy drinker, with all that entailed,' says one biographer, Jeremy Novick. 'And the violence was particularly grim because of his size.'
The relationship with Mary made matters worse. Wanting to be away from home, he spent longer on the road and the drinking increased.
He'd been married for 20 years when he met Mary at a production meeting for Thames TV. She became his manager and mistress, helping him cope with a life-long stage fright that could be alleviated by drinking a bottle of brandy before leaving his dressing room.
Cooper suffered his first heart attack in Rome, in 1977. By that stage he was smoking 40 cigars a day and during binges he drank three bottles of Dubonnet a night.
He died on April 15, 1984, after suffering a heart attack on television, during a broadcast of the Live At Her Majesty's variety show hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck. The moment is eerily recreated by ITV.
For the people he left behind, it would take years to come to terms with the tragedy. Son Thomas died in 1988, of complications from haemophilia. Gwen died in 2002 and Mary in 2010.
Daughter Vicky has rarely spoken about her father, but in 2004 she gave an interview to the Daily Mail.
Though largely affectionate, she at the time noted: 'Dad was a petulant, self-obsessed child in a 6ft 4in body. He had a terrible temper and went off like a firework.'
Vicky, who still lived in her father's old house at the time, also acknowledged his relationship with Mary: 'I adored my mother, but strangely wasn't angry when I discovered about eight years before he died that Dad was having an affair.'
No longer living at the Cooper family home (it was sold for £1.6 million in March 2010), friends expecther to watch ITV's warts-and-all biopic with a mixture of sadness and stoicism.
'It will be painful for Vicky,' says Barry Cryer. 'She has said that she will brace herself, pour a stiff drink, and sit down to watch it.'
Given what we know about the lifestyle of Tommy Cooper, you suspect that, for better or worse, he would probably approve.

Since 1999, food manufacturers have been allowed to make heart health claims for foods containing soy protein. This was based on the idea that soy protein might lower LDL cholesterol, which in turn should reduce the risk of heart attacks.
About-Face on Health Claims for Soy Protein:
Now, the FDA is getting ready to do a U-turn on such health claims for soy. It is not that soy protein is thought to be harmful, but the agency has seen a number of studies with inconclusive or contradictory results.
According to the FDA,
"While some evidence continues to suggest a relationship between soy protein and a reduced risk of heart disease…the totality of currently available scientific evidence calls into question the certainty of this relationship…Our review of that evidence has led us to conclude that the relationship between soy protein and heart disease does not meet the rigorous standard for an FDA-authorized health claim."
What Is the Evidence on Soy Protein and Heart Disease?
We can get a sense of why the FDA may be back-tracking on these health claims by looking at recent research reports. In one recent study, scientists found that Japanese people had no different cardiovascular mortality regardless of how much soy protein they consumed (Nagata et al, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Feb. 2017). People who ate more natto, a fermented soy product, were less likely to die of stroke or heart disease, however. Soy and natto are both traditional items in the Japanese diet. Research in another Asian population, Chinese people in Singapore, also found no link between soy protein in the diet and the risk of death from heart disease (Talaei et al, Journal of Nutrition, June 2014).
What would this mean for North American populations who are less accustomed to eating miso, natto, tempeh or tofu? A Canadian pilot study found that people with metabolic syndrome got better results with supplements containing soy, pea and whey proteins than with diet alone (Dahlberg et al, Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, Aug. 11, 2017). The low-glycemic load diet should have benefits on its own.
Mediterranean Diet vs. Metabolic Syndrome:
Previous research highlighted a Mediterranean diet that uses olive oil instead of animal fats like butter and is rich in whole grains, vegetables and fruits as a way of combating heart disease. Greek researchers discovered that it can reduce the likelihood of metabolic syndrome (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, online, March 7, 2011).
This constellation of risk factors, including high triglycerides, a big belly, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure elevated blood sugar is linked to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The meta-analysis involving 50 studies and over 500,000 subjects suggests that a Mediterranean diet might lower the risk of developing metabolic syndrome by nearly one third.
Soy protein is not a prominent part of the Mediterranean diet. Scientists hypothesize, however, that the Med diet might be healthful because it has more plant protein and less meat.
As you can see, the evidence is not all pointing in the same direction. We think it makes sense for the FDA to take stock of the research before it issues new guidelines on whether we should all be eating more soy protein.

Retopo Workflow between Autodesk Catch123D, 3ds Max and Mudbox
We're seeing a major initiative to bring 3D scans into our applications for clean up, retopology, and redeployment in virtual scenarios, i.e. games, simulations, or VFX. Specifically, this means converting a hi-res triangulated mesh into a reduced quad-poly version that retains the detail of the original -- and to do this in a tight time frame. Autodesk 123D Catch lets you use any camera (phone to DSLR) to capture a series of images of the object from different viewpoints. It then uses photogrammetry (the practice of determining the geometric properties of objects from photographic images) to generate a hi-res mesh from these bitmaps with texture maps synthesized from the photos. This video takes you the next step -- how to use 3ds max and Mudbox to make this mesh usable in 3D applications. It's surprisingly easy.

Xray CAT Survival Toolkit 1.5 is a set of tools for 3ds Max users who use the built-in CAT system. I find the Rig Creation, Layer Manager, Pose Manager and Joystick Creator to be welcome additions.

Federal Judge Prohibits Prayer at Texas Graduation Ceremony
A court of appeals has slapped down this activist judge and reversed his decision.
A federal appeals court has lifted the order banning public prayer at a Texas high school graduation Saturday.
The reversal comes on the heels of increasing criticism of a federal judge's earlier ruling that agreed with the parents of one graduating student that religious expression during the ceremony at Medina Valley Independent School District would cause "irreparable harm" to their son.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals thought differently, reversing the judge's ruling Friday and allowing students to say the word "amen" and invite the audience to pray during the ceremony.
"This is a complete victory for religious freedom and for Angela," said Kelly Shackelford, president/CEO of Liberty Institute, which had represented class valedictorian Angela Hildenbrand in the appeal. "We are thrilled that she will be able to give her prayer without censorship in her valedictorian speech tomorrow night. No citizen has the right to ask the government to bind and gag the free speech of another citizen."
Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's initial ban had been denounced as an "activist decision" by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who called it "exactly the wrong civics lesson to teach to the class of 2011."
Biery had ruled Thursday in favor of Christa and Danny Schultz, who sued to block such religious expressions at their son's graduation. Among the words or phrases Biery had banned were: "join in prayer," "bow their heads," "amen," and "prayer."
He also ordered the school district to remove the terms "invocation" and "benediction" from the graduation program, in favor of "opening remarks" and "closing remarks."
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott responded by voicing support for the school district in its appeal.
"Part of this goes to the very heart of the unraveling of moral values in this country," Abbott told Fox News Radio, saying the judge wanted to turn school administrators into "speech police."
"I've never seen such a restriction on speech issued by a court or the government," Abbott told Fox News Radio. "It seems like a trampling of the First Amendment rather than protecting the First Amendment."
Biery's ruling infuriated religious activists, like the AGAPE Movement, a Christian group based in Wichita Falls, Texas, which had said Friday it would travel to the school in Castroville for a peaceful protest if the ban wasn't reversed, according to the San Antonio-Express News.
The family's suit was being backed by the Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Every year, along with high school graduations, we get the typical court challenge to graduation prayers. This year is no different.
A federal judge has ordered a Texas school district to prohibit public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony.
Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's order against the Medina Valley Independent School District also forbids students from using specific religious words including "prayer" and "amen."
The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Christa and Danny Schultz. Their son is among those scheduled to participate in Saturday's graduation ceremony. The judge declared that the Schultz family and their son would "suffer irreparable harm" if anyone prayed at the ceremony.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the school district is in the process of appealing the ruling, and his office has agreed to file a brief in their support.
"Part of this goes to the very heart of the unraveling of moral values in this country," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott told Fox News Radio, saying the judge wanted to turn school administrators into "speech police."
"I've never seen such a restriction on speech issued by a court or the government," Abbott told Fox News Radio. "It seems like a trampling of the First Amendment rather than protecting the First Amendment."
Judge Biery's ruling banned students and other speakers from using religious language in their speeches. Among the banned words or phrases are: "join in prayer," "bow their heads," "amen," and "prayer."
He also ordered the school district to remove the terms "invocation" and "benediction" from the graduation program.
"These terms shall be replaced with 'opening remarks' and 'closing remarks,'" the judge's order stated. His ruling also prohibits anyone from saying, "in [a deity's name] we pray."
Should a student violate the order, school district officials could find themselves in legal trouble. Judge Biery ordered that his ruling be "enforced by incarceration or other sanctions for contempt of Court if not obeyed by District official (sic) and their agents."
The Texas attorney general called the ruling unconstitutional and a blatant attack from those who do not believe in God — "attempts by atheists and agnostics to use courts to eliminate from the public landscape any and all references to God whatsoever."
"This is the challenge we are dealing with here," he said. "(It's) an ongoing attempt to purge God from the public setting while at the same time demanding from the courts an increased yielding to all things atheist and agnostic."
Ayesa Khan, an attorney representing the student and his parents, told KABB-TV she was delighted in the judge's decision.
"It caused him a great deal of anxiety," she said, referring to her teenage client. "He has gone to meet with the principal to try and talk in a civilized way about long-standing problems, and the school district has continued to thumb its nose."
The judge did grant students permission to make the sign of the cross, wear religious garb or kneel to face Mecca. But that's not good enough for some students at the high school.
"It's just a big surprise that one kid can come in and change what's been a tradition since Medina Valley started," student Abigail Russell told KABB-TV.
Fellow student Alicia Jade Geurin agreed.
"At graduation, I would love to be able to speak from my heart," she told the TV station. "But in this situation I feel my freedom of speech and my First Amendment is being infringed upon if I can't say what I feel."
But the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, hailed the judge's decision.
"This is a high school graduation," he told Fox News Radio. "It is not a church service."
Lynn was critical of the attorney general's allegation that the ruling was an attempt to purge Christianity from the public square.
"Any attorney general worth his salt would know that's the issue and that this is not about promoting atheism," he said. "That's ludicrous."

Meanwhile, I'm still window shopping for an outfit for my brother's wedding in November. I really want something that is floral and floaty as it's a spring wedding. I have this ASOS dress in mind:
And these Next Direct dresses:
Or alternatively I could recycle this maternity dress that I wore to a friend's wedding in February 2011 when I was 6 months pregnant with Bubby.
This photo always makes me laugh. I look so frumpy and uncomfortable. Well, if memory serves me right my feet were very swollen (yes, I know they don't look swollen but they were, my anaesthetist also laughed at me when I complained about my swollen feet and ankles after my C-section because he thought they were 'slender') that night from my shoes (which were also my wedding shoes and yes they were also uncomfortable on my wedding day). I could barely stand that night hence the awkward pose. Supermodel pose it ain't but I had a lot of fun that night and this was the time when I really enjoyed being pregnant.

POCATELLO — Senior tight end and defensive lineman Brady Martin scored three touchdowns, including a pair of fumble returns, in his final high school game, and St. Maries (12-0) won its first football state championship Friday at Holt Arena.
Martin's 85-yard scoop and score with 55 seconds remaining capped the team's 31-0 scoring run and sealed the Lumberjacks' win.
He also found the end zone on his only catch of the game, a 41-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
"It is indescribable," Martin said. "I cannot believe it. … I never thought I'd play like this."
As a team, Declo (10-3) totaled 72 yards in the second half after gaining 222 by halftime. The Hornets turned the ball over five times, three of which came inside the Lumberjacks' 20-yard line.
The Lumberjacks' past two playoff appearances ended in the quarterfinals.
"It is a little surreal right now," St. Maries coach Craig Tefft said. "It hasn't sunk it yet. I'm just so proud of the kids and the community. There are so many people that had their fingers in this."
1A Division 1: RAFT RIVER 46, OAKLEY 18
POCATELLO — Raft River quarterback Kolten Hitt hammered Oakley (9-3) for a state title game-record 254 yards rushing on 23 carries in the Trojans' win Friday at Holt Arena.
The senior put the Hornets away, speeding past defenders on a 56-yard run that put his team ahead 32-12 with 2:32 left in the third quarter.
The touchdown drive came after he threw an interception and fumbled the ball on the first two drives of the half. But that was all behind Hitt and the Trojans as they scored two more times for good measure, including a 35-yard run by Hitt.
He also tossed for 264 yards passing and three touchdown passes, two of which went to Wacey Holtman, who also scored on a fourth-quarter pick-six in what turned out to be Raft River's last points of the state title win.
The Trojans (12-0) have won four other state championships in their history, the latest coming in 2004.
"We're so excited. These kids have worked hard. Everybody worked hard to do it," Raft River coach Brian Poole said. "There's a lot of good competition out there and you've got to make plays when it counts and you got to stay together and you've got to face adversity and deal with it. And our kids have done that really well, so we're just excited that they were able to keep playing and get it done."

In the middle of Saint-Aurélien square, a statue of Our Lady of Pity was erected, by request of the butchers' wives in the late 19th century. The butchers' corporation was very pious. There are several similar statues in the area.
From the beginning of the 15th century, the town's butchers established a fraternity : a community of laymen whose goal was to help each other and to pray to their patron saint. They chose Saint Aurélien to be their protector. He was the city's second bishop (the 1st being Saint Martial) in the 4th century. The butchers built a chapel in 1475 to protect the saint's relics. Its existence shows the butchers' religious fervour as well as their great fortune.
Another testimony of their faith occurred in the 17th century when they joined the Feuille-Morte Penitents, a group of laymen who practiced penitence and charity during the Counter Reformation.
During the Revolution, the butchers secretly saved their saint's relics and bought the confiscated chapel back from the State. They purchased a cross monument and placed it at the chapel's entrance.

The past couple weeks I've had the opportunity to paint a mural for a children's area
of a local church.
It was my first "real" job like this, and I was nervous.
I've painted lots of things for our house, family, friends,
but a real, paying job?
That's a whole different story.
It started out as just a big blue room,
and the children's director, Terri, and I shared our visions for the final result,
coming together with this.
This is my progress so far on just one wall.
Terri was wanting this main wall to be a journey scene, heading toward an adventure.
Their theme is Kid Venture,
so we wanted it to be fun and happy and whimsical.
Who says trees have to be green? Turquoise, purple, and orange are WaY more fun. ;)
Next week I'll be adding in paper embellishments...that's what will make this project feel complete....it's just not right without scrapbook paper involved somewhere. :)
I will post the finished product as soon as it's done.
This has been SO much fun~ can't wait to see it finished!

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with posting a news article. I use FCK Editor, and when I enter an article and want to use the apostrophe in a string like this: This is a test article. It can't be done right. The display reads as: This is a test article. It can\'t be done right.
I would like to know how to over come the problem of the backslash appearing in the display.
Also when I want to update the article in this way: It can be done right, can't it?
the display shows this: It can be done right. Can\'t it?
I would like the display to read: It can be done right. Can't it?
Can anyone help me in getting the display to read properly without the backslash appearing
Please find my example code attached.

Why training benefits your surfing?[addtoany]
Surfing is a demanding sport
Surf training is the most important part of your preparation to get better in this sport. Imagine all the paddling, all those wipeouts and the strength you need to pull off manoeuvres when you're up and riding a wave. Improving your fitness will make surfing and especially learning to surf, much more enjoyable. You will feel more connected with your entire body and take advantage of every part of the wave.
It will increase your stamina and power to catch more waves, enable you to spend more time in the water, improve basic surfing manoeuvres and help you to deal with the challenging conditions the ocean throw at you.
This is why first having balance and stability in your core and posture are essential to a successful weight-training program. If you're not sure if you have a stable core or posture, you need three months of core and posture foundation training before you start a strengthening program.
Stability and strength are two different things
First you get stable, and then you can get strong. Stability means having the ability to form basic movements with balance and coordination and endurance. Being balanced on the wave and in your body is a combination of understanding technique and the range of positions you can or can't reach, because of your physical limitations.
When you're training, try to focus on exercise routines where you work the whole body at the same time, try to include exercises on unstable surfaces like an Indo board or Bosu ball to be able to learn how to have strength in your core and muscle.
We have develop a surf training program to help you to reach the next level at surfing. The first step is to analyst your current level, then we create an specific program for you with exercises, surf coaching sessions ad video analyst. Contact us to know more about our services.


text: 0 comments 0 shares on Facebook 0 tweets on Twitter 0 shares on Linkedin Television Advertising Two breaches in 2016 federal election advertising The Australian Communications and Media Authority recently found two breaches of the rules about the broadcast of election advertisements. Both breaches occurred in the lead-up to the 2016 federal election. Clause 4(2) of Schedule 2 to the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 requires all election advertisements to include an announcement immediately following the advertisement of "required particulars", including the name of every speaker in the advertisement. The first breach concerned an election advertisement broadcast on radio C91.3 FM in Campbelltown NSW from 13-17 June and 20-28 June 2016, in which there was no announcement identifying Russell Matheson, then MP, as a speaker in the advertisement. The second breach concerned an election advertisement broadcast on Southern Cross Television (SCTV) in Tasmania between 23 and 28 June 2016. There was no announcement identifying the Hon. Will Hodgman, MP, Premier of Tasmania, as a speaker in the advertisement. The rule about broadcasting "required particulars" ensures that those involved in preparing and placing political advertisements are clearly identified to audience members. The rule aligns with similar requirements in the Commonwealth Electoral Act that apply to written and internet electoral advertisements. Both the broadcasters involved have taken steps to ensure compliance into the future. The ACMA expects all licensees to have effective clearance and control procedures in place to ensure compliance with the election advertising rules. Investigation reports BI-202 (C91.3 FM) and BI-208 (SCTV) are now available. For more information please contact: Emma Rossi, Media Manager, (02) 9334 7719, 0434 652 063 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Media release 30/2016 - 2 September Backgrounder The ACMA does not have a role in making or administering rules about the authorisation of electoral advertisements. Nor does it have a role in determining whether an election or political advertisement is misleading. However, the ACMA does administer the rules in the Broadcasting Services Act about political and election advertising on television and radio. These rules apply to broadcasters, not to political parties or other advertisers. Subclause 4(2) of Schedule 2 requires that, when broadcasting political matter at the request of another person, a broadcaster must cause the announcement of certain particulars in a form approved by the ACMA. The particulars required to be broadcast about political matter are defined in Clause 1 of Schedule 2 as follows: if the broadcasting was authorised by a political party: o the name of the political party o the town, city or suburb in which the principal office of the political party is situated o the name of the natural person responsible for giving effect to the authorisation if the broadcasting of the political matter was authorised by a person other than a political party: o the name of the person who authorised the broadcasting of the political matter o the town, city or suburb in which the person lives or, if the person is a corporation or association, in which the principal office is situated the name of every speaker who, either in person or by means of a sound recording device, delivers an address or makes a statement that forms part of that matter. The following is the approved form for announcement of the required particulars: if the political matter is broadcast by radio, the broadcaster shall cause the required particulars to be broadcast in the form of a spoken announcement if the political matter is broadcast by television, the broadcaster shall cause the required particulars (other than those contained in paragraph (c) of the definition of required particulars in clause 1 of Schedule 2) to be broadcast in the form of a spoken announcement, and cause all the required particulars to be broadcast in the form of images or words in all cases, the required particulars must be broadcast in the same language as the political matter. In addition to the licence conditions, the broadcasting codes of practice contain provisions about accuracy and impartiality in the broadcast of news and current affairs. Election coverage by broadcasters must comply with these code requirements. The ACMA also administers the rules in the Spam Act 2003 and the Do Not Call Register Act 2006. The Spam Act prohibits the sending of 'unsolicited commercial electronic messages', including email, short message service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS) messages. Electronic messages authorised by certain bodies, such as a registered political party or a government body, are exempt from this prohibition. Purely factual messages with no commercial content are also exempt, but the sender must include accurate information to identify the individual or organisation as the authorised sender of the message. The Do Not Call Register Act provides that telemarketing calls authorised by: a registered political party an independent member of parliament a person who is a candidate for election for parliament, legislative assembly or local governing body are designated telemarketing calls under the Do Not Call Register Act. They are exempt from the prohibition on making a telemarketing call to an Australian number registered on the Do Not Call Register. Designated telemarketing calls that are exempt from the Do Not Call Register Act must nonetheless comply with the Telecommunications (Do Not Call Register) (Telemarketing and Research Calls) Industry Standard 2007 in relation to prohibited calling times. These rules are explained in more detail in the ACMA's Election Guidelines. Last updated: 09 September 2016

A common scenario is to hide a certain shipping method when the weight is over X Lbs/Kgs
In ShipperHQ, ensure you have your Carrier set up with shipping methods selected/defined.
- Click Filters on the dashboard navbar and add a new filter.
- On your new filter, select "Whole Cart" under Filter Applies To in the Edit Filter panel and enter a name you'll recognize (e.g. "Over 350")
- In the Filters panel, select "Range" for the Weight filter, enter a Min value of 350 and check the No Max checkbox and Save. You now have a filter set up which will match against an order total with more than 350 weight in the cart.
- Click on Carrier Rules on the navbar and add a new Rule.
- Enter a descriptive Name (e.g. "Hide 2days air when weight is over 350Kgs") under the Overview panel
- In the Applicable Methods panel, select "2day air" (and every other method that you expect to be hidden when the weight is over the filter maximum threshold).
- In the Conditions panel, select the Filter you just set up under Weight/Price/Quantity Filters
- In the Actions panel and the Rule Action section, choose "Hide all shipping methods".
ShipperHQ will now hide 2day air when the weight is over 350.

Phillies' Carlos Santana pushes car (slightly) uphill
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Carlos Santana apparently got tired of working out in a traditional setting like a gym or training room.
The team's recently acquired first baseman took his strength training to a parking lot, and, in a video he posted to his Instagram account Friday, he pushed a car up a slight hill.
La preparación es parte el éxito
A post shared by carlos santana (@slamtana_41) on Jan 5, 2018 at 8:02am PST
The car was presumably in neutral, but there was still a person in the car and it's an impressive accomplishment, nonetheless.
In December, the Phillies and Santana agreed to a three-year, $60 million deal and is the team's largest in its rebuilding process, according to USA TODAY Sports. If this is any indication of how hard Santana is training this offseason, it's safe to say the Phillies made a good decision.

Last year, as part of Middle School Student Council at The Harley School, we embarked on an ambitious journey. Our goal was to build a well for a village lacking safe drinking water in South Sudan, and to educate our fellow students about the serous water issues facing our world. The Water for South Sudan project has now expanded into a school-wide effort with enormous support from students, faculty and the entire Harley community.
In December, 2012, The Harley School's Water for South Sudan Committee met and surpassed their goal of raising $15,000 to build a well in an impoverished village in South Sudan. We crossed the threshold at the site of our latest fundraiser, the Alternative Fair. It was a moment marked by laughter, tears, joy and immense happiness. In the early part of 2013, a well will be built in South Sudan to bring clean water to an impoverished village. This would not have been possible without all of the support from the Harley School community.
Students reflect: "We wanted to build a well because we believe that safe drinking water is a basic human right. We are aware that every 20 seconds a child somewhere in the world dies of a waterborne disease. We know we can't save every child, but we can help to save some. We are also mindful that access to clean drinking water is an essential building block for the future of each and every community member. Where wells are built, schools and markets often follow. Girls and boys who have access to clean drinking water not only are healthier, but also have opportunities to transform their lives. Even if the wells should yield but one drop, that single drop opens a sea of empathy and compassionate action."

About our courses
Pamoja Taught courses are written by subject matter experts and authorised by the International Baccalaureate. They cover the same course content and prepare students for the same assessments as traditional face-to-face IB DP courses. You can be confident that courses meet IB standards and learning outcomes, as well as being fit for purpose for an online environment.
Pamoja Taught at a glance
Students join a classroom of up to 35 learners from all around the world, and are given access to the course content through an online learning platform. The content is broken down into weekly lessons: each week, objectives will be introduced to help your child stay on track.
The course is mostly taught asynchronously using the materials and resources already available on the learning platform. Each student also has the opportunity to join a live lesson with their teacher every week, where they can interact with classmates and have their questions answered straight away.
IB World Schools are responsible for registering students - get in touch to find out whether your school already offers Pamoja Taught courses. Alternatively, speak to your school's Diploma Programme Coordinator.
I love the format of the platform; it's very easy to use and makes your progress through the course really visual.

The dynamic live performer has successfully completed treatment and has been given the go-ahead by his doctors to return to the stage following a stomach cancer diagnosis last fall. The 68-year old singer made his first live appearance post-treatment last month at the High Water Festival in Charleston, SC and is excited to be back. He is grateful to his doctors for the excellent care he received and to his family, friends and fans for rallying around him. Bradley notes:
"I am so grateful to my beautiful fans and touched by all the love and support they showed me through my crisis and time of sickness. They truly lifted me up and kept me going. I am honored and glad to be back and am going to give you all of my love."
Charles Bradley released his critically lauded third album Changes on Daptone Records in April 2016.

A thought came out of nowhere about writing an inspirational book for children with real life stories about children that have demonstrated creativity and innovation and shared it with there communities. I was so deep in thought and when I came close to home, ready to turn into our road, I looked up and saw a rainbow just behind our house! It didn't rain but there were huge clouds in the sky with this rainbow. I couldn't believe it. It really felt like the rainbow was just for me, as if the universe was saying to me:"' Feel the love, trust your heart and amazing things will happen."

A marketing plan that incorporates email but leaves out direct mail (or vice versa) is a marketing plan that will not drive maximum results. That's because consumers perceive that email and direct mail are for different things according to a study by Royal Mail MarketReach.
Consumers view email as a fast and informal form of communication that they can respond to quickly, but they view direct mail as attention-grabbing and informative. In other words, direct mail gives a better impression of a brand than email according to this study.
Click on the image to see all of the details in a data visualization from Royal Mail MarketReach. Following are some of the highlights from the report that brand marketers shouldn't miss:
Did you know that consumers who are considered to be digitally active are actually more likely to take a digital action after reading a piece of direct mail? According to this study, 86% have connected with a business after receiving direct mail from that business, and 54% have engaged with the brand on social media after receiving direct mail from the brand. A total of 43% of direct mail recipients have downloaded something offered by the brand sender after reading the mailer, and 57% believe that mail makes them feel more valued than email does.
The Royal Mail MarketReach study reveals that companies can increase consumer action, sales, and brand loyalty when they integrate direct mail and email marketing. In fact, 51% of consumers want to receive both email messages and direct mail from the companies that they buy from. At a time when most brand marketers are shifting budget dollars away from direct mail, which is expensive, the report reveals that doing so could be a big mistake. Not only do more than one in two consumers want to receive both email and direct mail from companies but another 17% only want to receive direct mail. If all of your budget dollars are going to email marketing, then you're missing a 17% segment of the audience and you're not delivering everything that another 51% wants.
Today, direct mail can be extremely effective for the simple reason that the number of companies sending direct mail on a daily basis has dropped so much over the past 10 years. Instead of struggling to get noticed in the mailbox, companies now have to struggle to get noticed in the email inbox. That means the door is wide open for your brand to get noticed with a great direct mail offer and design.

Homespun Wonders is Katie Collins and her Mum, Heather, who live in Sheffield. We caught up with Katie to talk about the creative hub that is Sheffield, the inspiration for her yarn and her plans for the future.
Katie has been dying Yorkshire Dale Yarns for a year now and was the obvious choice for our February box not least because she creates some wonderful hand-dyed Aran yarn but also because the yarn colours she chooses are inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District around the City.
Katie moved to Sheffield from Colchester two years ago as her partner had a new job at Sheffield University. Her mum soon followed her from Norfolk and now lives in nearby Chesterfield. Having both been crafters all their lives, it made sense for both of them to work together to create hand dyed yarn.
"My mum and I have been crafters all of our lives," explains Katie, "my Great-Aunt taught both my mother and I to knit from a very young age. I learned when I was 4 years old and have knitted and crocheted for years. I ended up with this huge stash of shawls and blankets that in the end, from the suggestions of my partner, I put up on Etsy.
"But I love wool, the feel and the smell of it. I had colours in my head that I couldn't get out so I thought I would have a go myself. My mum likes the same things as me so we thought we'd give it a go. The results were great."
The industrial city of Sheffield may not seem like the most obvious of places for a hub of creativity but it is fast marking itself out as one of the North's most artistic places. As Katie explains having moved up not knowing what to expect from Sheffield:
"Where we used to live in Colchester, Essex, I never met any other knitters. When I came to Sheffield I joined Ravelry to see if there were any knitters so I could make friends and there is so much of a community here. It is such a creative environment, you've got a lot of arts workshops happening and an Etsy Sheffield Team here. I meet up with people about once a month and there's yarn-dyers, spinners, weavers and a lot of other artists. I was really surprised but I find it is definitely the North driving the creative industry.
"It is one of those cities where you have a town centre but then so much greenery around it. There really are several villages connected together and they all have a community spirit. Everyone has been welcoming here."
It is not just the community in Sheffield which has supported Katie but the online community of hand-dyers who are working together that has bolstered her passion for Homespun Wonders.
"One of the nicest things I've found is that hand-dyers all seem to be happy to work together," says Katie, "there is no 'I don't want to help you because you're in competition with me' and there is definitely something feminist about it all. You feel like you are part of a community, even with the customers. I have customers connect with me on social media and contact me all the time to show me what they have made. It makes you feel part of something bigger."
As we've looked at in previous interviews with hand-dyers, time and again it comes up that from a limited number of yarn bases comes an incredibly personal product that is tantamount to buying a piece of the dyer.
"Everyone has their own inspiration," explains Katie, "Truly Hooked, for example, is very bright and colourful, neon at times. Whereas ours are much more muted colours. Everyone does it slightly differently. Some people boil it in their sinks, others will microwave and some have massive baths. It all comes out slightly different and that is a nice thing as I can use their yarn and not feel like I've waster my money. You are buying a bit of that dyer in a sense, which is nice. It is something you cannot get from commercially dyed yarn."
"If you put out all the different yarns, I could tell which was from Dye Candy or Truly Hooked without labels as their style would come through. You just need to look at social media and see the dyers at the pot with their hair tied back getting covered in colour. You can always tell an indie-dyer from their hands."
Yet not many indie dyers choose to dye Aran weight yarn. Katie explains her decisions for including this base in her repertoire.
"When I crochet I like to use a heavier weight so that's really why we've included aran. It does soak up a lot more dye and therefore there is an added expense to dying it but it is hard to get hand-dyed aran which for us is a reason to do it. We also have a blue and a pink, Yorkshire Boy and Yorkshire Girl for our baby colourways in aran. Again this is really hard to come by and it is superwash so you could technically put it in the machine. I wouldn't put it on high as the dye may fade but you can wash it. Our aran is so soft and fluffy though so it's ideal for baby knits."
Katie comes across as a very thoughtful and highly organised person and this shows through in the consistency of her products. The self-confessed 'organisation nerd' will calendarise dates for wool show applications to be the first to get the form submitted and has a giant book of recipes to ensure that each skein is as close a match to the last dye lot as possible.
"Even if the dye is a one-off we will record every step of the process. When we dyed all the Cowslip for the Sonic Knits box we dyed each individual yarn to the same recipe and then at the end we had a big bag of it and spent ages stroking it. My mum and I are perfectionists so we've put aside many yarns that we've felt haven't been good enough before only to be told by our other halves that there was nothing wrong with them."
Katie's hopes for the coming year is to build on the successes of her first year of dying and attend a lot more yarn fairs. She will be attending Spring Into Wool in Leeds on 8 April 2017 and will be posted more fairs as they are confirmed.Save

"Bobo" I yelled "my blog published before I finished writing". He just ignored me. Off course being a blog novice I could not figure out how to go back so am continuing the blog here.
Surprisingly I loved the Laurent Perrier Rose, it deserves to be called the best Rose Champagne in the world, this comes from a die hard Lanson Rose fan.
The champagne surgeon hummed and hawed but picked the Veuve as her favorite, I think she just likes the story of the widow!!!
Laurent Perrier Rose the clear winner.

Internet Win of the Day: National Grammar Day Edition
Just something I thought was awesome for reals …
"Ode to the Semicolon," by @tonynoland: ow.ly/il4ZS #grammarday
— Mignon Fogarty (@GrammarGirl) March 5, 2013
Click the link up in the tweet or right here to read writer Tony Noland's short poem about the subtle beauty of that oft-misunderstood piece of punctuation, the semi-colon.
This would catch my eye any day of the year, but considering it's National Grammar Day, I'm all the more excited about it. And that sentence should tell you all you really need to know about me and my interests. But just in case it doesn't, behold Exhibit B, the blog post I once wrote about this photo:
No, that's not my arm. But a fella can dream.
Today's Internet Win point gets split between Tony (@TonyNoland), the writer of this semi-colon love story, and the Grammar Girl herself, Mignon Fogarty (@GrammarGirl), who published Tony's opus in her newsletter back in 2009 and tweeted about it today in honor of this national holiday.

If you could, take a minute to complete it. I would LOVE to hear you guys get real about your opinions, struggles and needs as beautiful creative, adventure seekers out there! I'll be sharing the results in a future blog post and using the materials for a great project I have in the works as well.
I've had so many beautiful conversations with you all about the triumphs, the aches and pains, the resources and desires of wanting to create and explore on the blog and on social media (particularly you readers from Instagram…. you guys are so awesome). So let's get all our thoughts out there! What gets your creative juices going? What stops you from creating or going on an adventure? Where do you source ideas from? Tell me, tell me, tell me right here!

LONDON (Reuters) – The British government set out proposals for new rules on company takeovers in the military and technology sectors on Tuesday, which it says will better protect national security. The proposals, part of a broader consultation on the takeover regime, include lowering the turnover threshold at which the government can scrutinise a merger to companies with at least one million pounds in revenue from 70 million pounds. They also suggest removing the current requirement for a merger to increase a company's share of supply to or over 25 percent. The proposed changes will apply to companies in the military sector and those involved in the design of computer chips and quantum technology. Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to protect critical infrastructure and wants her government to intervene in deals that could affect national security. The government said it will set out further measures in the autumn to safeguard national security, while ensuring the UK remains open to free trade and inward investment.(Reporting By Anjuli Davies; Editing by Rachel Armstrong)

Vacationers to Wisconsin hoping to whisk a case of Spotted Cow across state lines may want to plan ahead.
There is no shortage of the popular farmhouse ale from New Glarus Brewing Co. but the price can vary widely depending on where it is purchased and, in at least one instance, is nearly $15 more than a nearby grocer.
The 46,000-square-foot Mars Cheese Castle along Interstate 94 in Kenosha is a major tourist draw and often a last stop for out-of-state travelers before they cross into Illinois.
The business, founded in 1947, sells a wide variety of cheese from around Wisconsin and the world, has a bakery, restaurant, bar and a gift shop. The store, with six check-out lanes, also has an impressive craft beer department anchored by cases of Spotted Cow, which is famously sold only in Wisconsin.
But the price for 24 bottles of what has turned into the state's signature craft beer is eye-popping.
On a visit to the store last weekend, a case of Spotted Cow was going for $44.99 and appears to be one of the higher price-points around for the bovine-themed brew. In fact, less than four miles to the south, at the corner of I-94 and Highway 50, Woodman's Food Market sells a case of Spotted Cow for $30.79.
But what about other retailers at major state exit points?
At Keyport Liquors in Superior, a case of Spotted Cow sells for $34.79, while it goes for $32 a case at the Family Fresh Market in New Richmond, northwest of the Twin Cities. Historic Casanova Liquors in the I-94 border city of Hudson sells a case of Cow for $39.99.
In Beloit, the Cornellier Superstore, another popular tourist spot that sells cheese and souvenirs at the interchange of I-90 and I-43, a case of Spotted Cow retails for $37.99, while at the nearby Badger Spirits it's $36.98 a case. Over in Prairie du Chien, a case at the Piggly Wiggly sells for $34 and at the Woodman's in Onalaska it retails for $29.99.
In the Madison area, Steve's Liquor on University Avenue sells a case for $34.06, tax included, while Star Liquor on Williamson Street retails it for $33.99 and Costco in Middleton for $30.75.
But the Mars Cheese Castle price of $45 a case pales in comparison to the price of Spotted Cow in the Local to Go section at the Metcalfe's Market in the terminal at the Dane County Regional Airport. A six-pack of bottles is $19, which would equate to $76 a case, while a 12-pack of cans is $26.99.
Like I said, plan ahead.
