We've covered some of the basic methods of solving Sudoku puzzles on other pages here. Now it's time to practice some. Thanks to a program named Magnum Opus, that is possible here.
Magnum Opus is a program that allows you to both build and solve a large number of puzzle types including crossword and Sudoku and many more puzzle types. I've used it to create the seven Sudoku puzzles shown here…
Solve Some Sudoku Puzzles
We've covered some of the basic methods of solving Sudoku puzzles on other pages here. Now it's time to practice some. Thanks to a program named Magnum Opus, that is possible here.
Solving Sudoku Part 5
We're almost at the end of this series of posts now. Here's where we left off…
We just filled in the two marked rows and now need to move to the rest of the puzzle. [Read more…]
Solving Sudoku Part 4
Last post we left the puzzle looking like this…
Where would go next? [Read more…]
Solving Sudoku Part 3
We left off last time finishing all the horizontal and vertical gimmies in the puzzle. These are the numbers that it takes little effort to find. Remember the technique (check rows and columns of containers for duplicates and then see if the remaining container has a unique position for the number in question) as you will use it throughout the puzzle solution. Every number you put into the puzzle should trigger another gimmie search in both the horizontal and vertical directions for the container in question.
OK, now where to we go? [Read more…]
Solving Sudoku Part 2
This is the second in a series about the Sudoku puzzle and some of the solution methods. In the last post the puzzle was defined and the rules for solving were shown. In summary, you have a 9×9 array of squares that have to be filled with numbers such that each row, column and container contain one through nine with no repeats.
In this post we'll show the method to find the "gimmies," or numbers that you don't really have to think very much about. Let's recall the puzzle…
Recall the container rule that every container must have the numbers one through nine in it. Given that, consider the top three containers which form a group of three rows. Look for two of those containers having the same number in them. Sometimes this combination will define a unique place for that number in the third container. Let's see an example of where that happens in this puzzle… [Read more…]
Solving Sudoku Part 1
Sudoku? Why Sudoku and what is Sudoku? (By the way, it's pronounced "Sue doh' coo".)
Sudoku is mostly seen as a number puzzle in newspapers. It's basically a logic puzzle and has nothing to do with math. That's important to understand as I've asked many people if they solve Sudoku puzzles and the almost universal answer when they say "no" is because they are not good in math.
It has nothing to do with math! [Read more…]

What led you to take the Cambridge MBA?
The Cambridge MBA is a collaborative programme that attaches huge importance to teamwork. I have come to appreciate that with teamwork, every objective can be achieved, and I am confident that working with other students on the MBA will be beneficial. During my career, I have had the chance to work with individuals from various countries, and I have recorded the most innovative and outstanding results while working in very diverse teams.
Describe the biggest accomplishment in your career so far
So far, I have had a very rewarding career, mostly with BAT, and I have delivered value to the company while in several positions. While I worked for BAT in London, our marketing team developed a new approach to Portfolio rationalisation for the group. I was responsible for crystallising all our findings into a manual, which was adopted as the global standard within the BAT group.
How do you feel about being awarded your bursary?
I am very excited to have been awarded this bursary. I believe that to unlock Africa's potential, we need better leaders and individuals with stronger business acumen. The MBA will help me develop my skills further in order to enable me contribute to the much needed change on the continent.
Something that not many people know about you
I once considered becoming a jazz musician before I got into the corporate world.

EX-WREXHAM hit-man Lee Trundle is lining up a cup final crack at his former Racecourse team-mates tonight.
But the 27-year old striker knows his Swansea City side face a potential banana skin against another former club when they face Rhyl in the semi-finals of the FAW Premier Cup.
The League of Wales side, chasing success on four fronts, have home advantage for the match, which is being shown live by tournament sponsors, BBC Wales, and Trundle is taking nothing for granteed.
Like his Vetch Field team-mates, the Liverpudlian is very much on trial in the first match in charge for new Swans' boss Kenny Jackett.
The ex-Wales international was appointed on Monday and has since had his players training twice a day after hearing complaints that the squad he inherited from former boss, Brian Flynn, was not fit enough.
"We' ve been in morning and afternoon since the gaffer came in, but it's not been too bad," said Trundle last night.
"He's told us that everyone starts with a clean slate and he's going to judge us on how we perform between now and the end of the season.''
Trundle, who has a contract until the end of next season, has only just returned to first team action after knee and hamstring injuries curtailed his excellent form earlier in the campaign.
His 20 goals in all competitions helped the Swans surge towards the top of the Third Division but, in his absence, the team has struggled to maintain that promise and even a play-off place now seems beyond them.
"The FAW Premier Cup now looks as if it might be our only chance of winning some-thing," added Trundle. "And there's an extra incentive for me to beat Rhyl because Wrexham are already through to the final.
"I really enjoyed my time at Belle Vue and, though I played against them last season while I was at Wrexham, I've not been back there for a few years.
"I'm looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces up there, both on and off the field, but the main aim is to help Swansea go through. I played a full game last Saturday for the first time in six weeks and I'm hoping to get among the goals tomorrow.
"That would set us up for the final and a reunion with the Wrexham lads. It was my first professional club and I owe a lot of people at the Racecourse a great deal for the help and support they gave me. I had a brilliant time there but I'm with Swansea now and it would be great to finish the season on a high note."
The winners of tonight's match will host this year's final on a date to be arranged.
As well as topping the Welsh Premier League table, Rhyl are also through to the League Cup and the Welsh Cup finals so they will be aiming to complete a hat-trick of final appearances.
"It's a tremendous achievement for a part-time team but the players have been absolutely brilliant," said manager John Hulse.
"We had a very hard Welsh Cup semi-final against Cwmbran on Saturday but the lads kept going and scored four goals in extra-time which says a lot for their spirit.
"The big games are coming thick and fast now and every one is like a cup final but we are prepared both physically and mentally for the challenge.".
Jackett's appointment is of some concern to Hulse.
"This could have come at the wrong time for us as the Swansea players will be determined to impress him but if we perform as well we can, we can beat them," he insists.
"Lee Trundle returned from injury on Saturday and he will be out to put on a show in front of our supporters, who really appreciated what he did when he was here."

Most everyone has their laptop open in most meetings, and yes, I do emails during meetings. Don't know what goes on in meetings at the very top of the executive hierarchy.
My intern is of a new generation: he never concentrates on me. I am about to convert him to full time and my message for him is the hippy one: "Be Here Now."
If you are supposed to be attending to someone, they better feel that you are attending to them rather than to your computer, phone, etc. They actually notice, and may not be willing to play second fiddle to your email and text messages.

A homeless pit bull has been transformed from petrified to playful after being rescued from an oil refinery in California.
Workers at the refinery reported the stray dog to Los Angeles-based animal rescue organisation Hope For Paws after seeing it at their workplace for several months.
They claim that whenever they tried to approach the dog, it would run and hide in one of the hundreds of pipes at the site.
The dog rescuers then devised a plan to coax the pit bull out of a pipe and into a dog cage after hearing its growling echo through one of the pipes.
"Quickly, we constructed a long pole so I could reach him from one end," a Hope For Paws video of the rescue was captioned.
"Lisa Arturo and Loreta Frankonyte awaited my signal to close the other end using the trap."
The two women placed an open cage at one end of the pipe while the pole was pushed in, forcing the pit bull to take shelter in the metal dog crate.
At first, the pit bull was growling and couldn't be calmed.
"After so long without human contact, he didn't know that he could trust us," a subtitle read.
One of the pet rescuers attempts to calm the distressed dog, to no avail.
Throughout the journey in the back of a car, the dog is seen cowering in the corner of the crate it is being transported in.
When the video cuts forward two hours, the pit bull's personality couldn't be further from the one that had been rescued.
Named Tank, shelter staff are seen patting and playing with the dog.
He was treated at the animal shelter before being released to a foster carer.
It is unknown whether the dog has been adopted yet.
It is unknown when the rescue took place or where in California the oil refinery is located. Nine.com.au has contacted Hope For Paws for more information.

I couldn't make a sound, nor could I wave my arms. When I tried, I would immediately go under. All around me, even brushing against me, people were splashing and screaming and laughing, oblivious to my struggle. Finally, exhausted, I gave up and lowered my chin.

Five-star girls basketball recruit Zarielle Green and teammate Starr Jacobs of Duncanville decommit from Kansas; Green visits Tennessee
Five-star recruit Zarielle Green and teammate Starr Jacobs of defending Class 6A girls basketball state champion Duncanville have decommitted from Kansas, Duncanville coach Cathy Self-Morgan said Friday.
Self-Morgan said that Green, who was SportsDay's All-Area Player of the Year last season, is on an official visit to Tennessee this weekend and has already visited UCLA. Jacobs is now committed to Houston, Self-Morgan said.
Self-Morgan said that Duncanville senior guard Aniya Thomas is still committed to Kansas. Thomas hit five 3-pointers and scored 19 points in Duncanville's 76-65 win over Cypress Ranch in last season's state championship game.
Green, a 6-0 senior guard, is rated the 13th-best recruit in the nation in the Class of 2018 by ESPN's HoopGurlz. She averaged 17.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists last season and was named the MVP of the state final after scoring a team-high 25 points against Cypress Ranch as Duncanville (39-2) won its second straight 6A state championship.
Jacobs, a 6-0 senior forward, averaged 14.3 points last season. The three-star recruit was a third-team all-area selection, and she had 17 points and 11 rebounds in the state final.

text: Collection for PTUDC relief funds at Benazir Bhutto film premiere in Germany Share Tweet +1 285.15 Euros raised for Pakistan earthquake appeal after premiere of film on Benazir Bhutto. At the Exground-Filmfestival in Wiesbaden 285.15 Euros were collected for the solidarity-caravans of the Pakistan Trade Union Defence Campaign (PTUDC). At the premiere of the film "Benazir Bhutto, Daughter of Power" - a bourgeois film about the leader of the PPP and for a time prime minister of Pakistan - we were allowed into the discussion that followed to present the action of the Pakistan comrades and make an appeal for the collection. Although the film rarely dealt with the base of the PPP and the problems faced by trade unionists and left activists under the Musharraf-dictatorship, the interest and readiness to give donations of the visitors were great. So we were allowed to distribute some leaflets and collect a lot of money. Even the president of the PPP in Germany was present and interested in further cooperation with us.

It is amazing to me how sometimes a prompt will result in an immediate idea and flow of words. Like a tap being turned on. Other times a bit of effort is required. Occasionally, I find, I just don't feel inspired and then I leave it. Forced writing is never work that I am ultimately pleased with. Happily, when I saw this divine photograph, this entire poem popped into my head, almost fully formed.
My mind's eye
I reflect on my life
through my mind's eye
I open secret drawers
rummaging through
their hidden contents.
My childhood
A time of happiness
and laughter.
My teenage years
I gently probe
Pulling out memories
Like old clothes
from the cupboard of time.
I run my eye over them
looking for rents,
tears and wrinkles.

I'm cooking up some Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup
Should I chuck in some frozen peas? Will it actually add any nutrition? Will it tasty?
What's your favourite Heinz soup?
I like Heinz Cream of Tomato, and I like peas
but I don't think they would be very nice together. The soup is the wrong consistency.PickledOeuf this'd this
You're right, it's rubbish :(
Soup tastes all pea-y and not in a nice way, I wouldn't recommend it.
It seemed like such a good idea at the time too.
So disappointing.
- Antpocalypsenow, dash_and_blast, japes, and jopzorz this'd this
let me cut up your pork pie
wonder how long it'll take for some absolute life virgin to say Heinz soups aren't nice?
"urgh, too much salt"/"i prefer non-stodgy homemade soups, actually" etc.
to answer your question, i like them all, but the standard veg is my favourite.sophiacherryx this'd this
i accidentally bought a load of tins of cream of tomato WITH A HINT OF BASIL the other month
they're shit, just tastes of basil.
* Basel
i don't get it
hakan yakin slowly emerging from the bottom of the bowl?
Tomato soup with grated cheese <3
Best thing. Ever.PickledOeuf this'd this
For some unknown reason I really don't like the phrase
'cream of tomato'.this'd this
It's probably because there is no cream in tomatoes
It should be 'cream enriched tomato soup' or 'creamy tomato soup'or just 'tomato soup with cream' or something.
was going to reply to the thread saying this, glad it's been covered.
My favourite used to be Cream of Mushroom which is ok cos mushrooms are kind of creamy.
I'm aware you dislike mushrooms.
Is nothign sacred?
However, do dip in toast that's buttered with hummus. I promise you, it's an amazing three taste combo.
Ooooh I imagine it is!
I had a toasted and buttered muffin with it though, it was the last one and needed to be eaten.
chicken noodle
always got time for a heinz soup
ccb is right, Mulligatawny is the king
what i like to do is get a tin of soup, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.
Soup should only be eaten/drunk between the months of October and February.
It's winter/autumn food. I guess it's September tomorrow and so you're not too far off. Heinz Tomato soup, simple but brilliant.
I can only have this when I am ill
I used to have a 'sick' dress that I'd wear whilst eating. I lost it. :(
Glad this quality quality thread
from August got bumped.
AND i NEVER READ DATES AND ALL THAT JAZZ.
Yeah but surely it was buried on page 38 or something?
I never get how people bump really post threads. I thought it was 4 teh lulz?!
Nope, page one.
Right at the top, buddy.
I bumped it.
Not consciously, I was just trying to find a thread via 'my board posts' and went in this and had something to say. SO SUE ME!
Oh ok, cool
Mystery solved. Maybe when someone bumps and old thread, they should have to explain. Sometimes I spend a good minute or two going through to see who's bumped it and how come.
Weird huh? I think I need to shut up.
I really don't get tomato soup
I just find it really boring. I am not trying to be an elitist here, it just doesn't scream out at me from the shelf. I'll even take mushroom over tomato.
Add pepper or chilli
It's nice if you're feeling unwell.
You love peas, don't you?
Have you tried adding a little grated cheese to your peas?
cheddar cheese + peas = awesome.

Best Places on Earth to Meditate, Part One
Any meditator who lives life somewhat on the move becomes an expert in guerilla meditation. You learn to get down and dirty and meditate anywhere, anytime. A bench on a street corner, a restaurant booth, a cinema seat before showtime—we've all used them as twenty-minute refueling stations and they work just fine. Sometimes, though, you score an unexpected luxury spot.
Last week, after a month living and writing in New Mexico, I did a solo road trip around Southwestern Colorado. On the drive back south, I crossed the state line in the late afternoon, following Route 84 through massive fields of sage-green ranch land to sun-kissed bluffs of golden-red sandstone. It was time to meditate—but where to pull over?
That's when I saw what looked like a massive clamshell carved out of the rock walls that loom over the highway. A sign said "Echo Amphitheater." It's a natural phenomenon, a Hollywood Bowl-like structure of carved-out rock where, I'm guessing, Pueblo indians surely came to hoot, chant, and sing to the sky gods. I drove in as the last tourists of the day drove out. The sun was setting behind the rocks; the whole vast site was open and vulnerable in the way all natural sites are after the visitors leave and they can—sigh—have their space back again.
I took off my shoes and walked towards the concave dome, and what struck me was the silence. It was profound—dense and delicious. It was the dominant feature of the place. If the silence had been a color, it would have been red. Something obvious and unmissable. The acoustics of the rock wall made it so you could not avoid becoming quiet in yourself and falling into alignment with the environment.
I had a little hooting moment under the dome. "Love!" I blurted out and "...love! love! love!" came echoing back. "Thank you!" went my vocal chords and "...thank you! thank you! thank you!" came the boomerang response. Frank Gehry couldn't have done a better job of designing this thing: the reverb was terrific. I found a bench under the shadow of the dome, and as the "golden hour" flooded the landscape all around me, I did my evening meditation before finishing the drive back to my temporary home about an hour down the road, with its old friends and its puppies, goats, and starlight.

I have a Jewel trigger, glass bedding, and I reload..tried many bullets...all about the same. This is a hunting rifle, and I desire consistent 1MOA at 300-600 yards. On average will a custom barrel shoot 1MOA with hand loads? I am trying to avoid spending $750 to later end up buying a custom gun. Thanks, Kenn

Being Led Into All Truth: Part I of a Response to NeoTheologue
This post is Part I of my response to NeoTheologue's critique (his 10/7 post--permalink doesn't work) of an essay written by John Craton. This series of posts will make more sense if you're familiar with these two papers. However what follows should be coherent enough to stand on its own (hopefully!). With all the introductory material, this post is the longest.
Rather than defend the Craton essay, per se, I'll stick to analyzing several quotes from Neo's paper. While I think the Craton essay has a lot of good things to say and I agree with his final conclusions, I concede he doesn't do a great job of explaining certain concepts. By the way, his essay also includes other chapters and was originally meant to be read only by members of the church from which he left as a brief explanation of why he was becoming Orthodox. Thus, I will concur that it is far from complete, sufficiently nuanced, or researched. In any event this is all to say that some areas of Neo's critique stand uncontested by me. Others may wish to add further comments.
Neo wrote, "Jesus wasn't promising his Spirit to a church in John 16:13, but was promising it to eleven individual men....there is no textual evidence that Jesus is speaking dogmatically here with the whole Church in mind."
The Greek in this passage is ambiguous, you are correct. So why couldn't Jesus have meant the promise to *both* the Apostles as individuals *and* to those who would follow the Apostles, who would read these words from the very pens of the Apostle, who would be fully united with them in the Church?
One could ask where the Scriptural text is to back an "either/or" interpretation rather than a "both/and" perspective. What you argue for seems like an unnecessary false dichotomy, especially since the Church for 2000 years has always interpreted Jesus' words in John 16:3 to apply to the whole Church. The consensus within the Tradition directly contradicts your interpretation.
You are right in one respect: Jesus wasn't speaking to "a" church, but to the very Church that the Apostles would go on to become pillars of; this same Church which is the Orthodox Church. Not counting all the references of St. Paul in the Bible (like 2 Thess 2:15), we also see from Church history that the teaching, direction, and truth Jesus gave the Apostles was to be passed on and lived out by all those in the Church, not just the eleven. I just posted these quotes in my discussion with Justin the last few days, but they are relevant here too:
St Basil: Of the dogmas and messages preserved in the Church, some we possess from written teaching and others we receive from the tradition of the apostles, handed on to us in mystery ... both are of the same force ... Indeed, were we to try to reject unwritten customs as having no great authority, we would unwittingly injure the gospel in its vitals ...
St Augustine: "... there are many things which are observed by the whole Church, and therefore are fairly held to have been enjoined by the apostles, which yet are not mentioned in their writings."
Saint John Chrysostom: (commenting specifically on 2 Th 2.15), "From this it is clear that they did not hand down everything by letter, but there is much also that was not written. Like that which was written, the unwritten too is worthy of belief. So let us regard the tradition of the Church also as worthy of belief." (Props to Christopher for these quotes)
Continuing on, Neo wrote, "The idea that it is the church (or even more exclusive, a particular church) that is indwelt with the Spirit and not individual Christ-followers is Biblically unsupportable."
Two things here. First, there is only One Church because there is only one Jesus. There is the Church and then there are "denominations" that splinter away from, not within, the Church. This understanding is a direct result of the Nicean Creed's "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic" description of the Church. See here for more on this....
Second, the idea that the Spirit only indwells the Church but not the people themselves is flat out not an Orthodox teaching! No Orthodox has ever posited that the Spirit is limited to just the institutional forms of "the Church" and is not for the individual believer to participate in. If you saw this dichotomy in the Craton essay, I'd be curious to see a specific reference.
Those who have studied Orthodox pneumatology understand the holistic experience we have of the Spirit. For example, during the Sacrament of Chrismation we personally and intimately share in the event of Pentecost itself. During the Liturgy we pray that the Holy Spirit "who is everywhere present and filling all things" may "abide in us and cleanse us from every impurity and save our souls..."
Many more examples could be given. Suffice to say, the idea that the Holy Spirit is limited to the institutional forms of the Church and is not intimately involved with the believer is absolutely not our teaching. However being most fully "Spirit-filled" and being a visible member of the Church are always interconnected in the Bible and throughout the writings of the Fathers.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as an "autonomous experience of the Holy Spirit." The Bible tells us that those who are "being saved" were added to the Church (Acts 2:38-47). They were not merely making "decisions for Christ", or beginning a "personal (i.e. private) relationship with Jesus" , or "receiving a special anointing." (None of these modern, subjective, and individualized concepts are Scriptural) Rather the early Christians were repenting, being baptized for the remission of their sins, partaking of the sacraments, and actively immersing themselves in the liturgical, ascetical, and sacramental life of the one Church.
Part II coming soon....

UCSF researchers are boldly going where they will surely be skewered.
In this article by Juliana Bunim, UCSF researchers stress that we – as a society – need to eliminate sugar from our diets. The science is clear: sugar is addictive, toxic and responsible for a global health crisis. Bunim writes,
At the levels consumed by most Americans, sugar changes metabolism, raises blood pressure, critically alters the signaling of hormones and causes significant damage to the liver – the least understood of sugar's damages. These health hazards largely mirror the effects of drinking too much alcohol, which they point out in their commentary is the distillation of sugar.
The researchers go on to say that sugar consumption has tripled in the last 50 years. While most view sugar as "empty" calories, the researchers argue that sugar is more sinister.
What's missing from this story is the fact that most "sinister" sugar comes from processed foods. Natural sugars (from fruit or honey) are fine because our bodies can metabolize those. It's the added sugar from Franken-foods like processed chips, cakes, pies, sodas and yogurt that is the problem. Yes, we should limit sugar but we should eliminate processed foods altogether.
The researchers don't call out the food industry yet they say campaigns similar to those curbing tobacco use should be employed. This includes education, taxes on sugar-filled foods and legislation limiting access and addressing licensing issues for suppliers.
That's bold stuff. What do you think?

A recommendation to halve the number of lots developers can record in a year is not intended to make their life difficult, Carroll County Planning and Zoning Commission members said yesterday.
The recommendation, which would limit developers to recording 50 lots per year rather than 25 per quarter, aims to help county services keep pace with development, they said.
"This is not intended to cause any loss to the owners of subdivisions," said commission member Dennis Bowman. "We don't think that it will affect that many people or that many developers.

Ultimately, our efforts are all about customer satisfaction. We look to forge a rock-solid reputation as professionals of the highest order. Here's what they say!
Christofer Åhman, Creative Director Video
"Few people in film & TV positively surprises me with their efforts, Matthew Gormly is one of them. I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt on a large-scale shoot for one of Sweden's biggest brands, Volvo Trucks. I quickly learned that Matthew is eager and passionate for his work. He has an extreme technical knowledge, and first and foremost, a great artistic eye. He sees the possibilities instead of focusing on the problems. Matt gets my warmest recommendations for future work in the business."
Shannon Swan, Producer
"Matt's knowledge base is simply huge. Matt has both technical and creative flair behind the camera and as a producer, and this is truly a unique combination, making him the most powerful production tool I have encountered. I only wish we had another Matt in Melbourne for us to work with full-time!"
John Oliver reports on "Gun Control in Australia" (3 segments)
"Yes, I'd say the shoot went extremely well, beyond our expectations! Brennan and John both said "That was THE BEST crew they have ever worked with!!!". They both really enjoyed working with them on every level ...personally and professionally!"
Production Manager
*Emmy award-winning 'Best-editing' for segment 3/3
Emma Scott, Producer
"Matthew is an extremely experienced and reliable DOP whom I do not hesitate to work with due to his consistently outstanding results. I trust him creatively to deliver beyond expectations of the brief. He's a pleasure to work with and with his professionalism, and easygoing friendly nature always ensures that the crew works seamlessly together as a team."
Nicholas Goldsworthy, Executive Producer
"Matt is one of the most professional, dedicated, and experienced media practitioners I know. His hard work, attention to detail, and professionalism is second to none, and it makes him one of the most sort after producers and camera operators. It was a delight to work with Matt in the field. He sets himself the highest standards, and delivers quality results."
Tom Gose, Producer / Director
"It was very successful. Matt Gormly did a great job. He got what we asked for and once the event began, he made good decisions on his own."

Comments about Hazel June Hooper
The Sunset
No artist's hand could paint a picture
So wonderful to see,
No masterpiece as priceless
As the one in front of me;
No brush could do it justice,
No palette have the hue -
The colours not of this world
Fiery red to blue.
A panorama of colour
Unfolds in beautiful array,
No canvas could portray
This close of day!
The sun dips low,
Shed's it's orange glow,
As if it knows
The world will lose it's magic
When it goes.
The painter's hands I cannot see,
But the artistry of God
Is everywhere with me.

Wolves have held talks with Reading boss Brian McDermott as a possible replacement for Mick McCarthy.
The Molineux side spoke to the 50-year-old last night and he will meet incoming Royals owner Anton Zingarevich today to discuss his position.
Wolves have also asked Brighton for permission to speak to Gus Poyet. But it is believed Steve Bruce is still the firm favourite to replace axed McCarthy.
Wolves dumped the former Replublic of Ireland manager last week and interviewed ex-West Ham and Charlton boss Alan Curbishley for the post.
But it is believed Curbishley knocked them back after only being offered the role until the end of the season - and was warned he would have to take a pay cut if they went down.
Morgan has also interviewed Bruce and the ex-Sunderland boss is the bookies' odds-on favourite.
But Wolves clearly have reservations as they are still looking at different options and are very keen on Poyet, as well as eyeing up the impressive McDermott.

This century-old, British-based, multinational energy company has been working with Fresh01 for 10 years to adapt and refine its eLearning training solution. Fresh01 has been proactive in its eLearning offering since the early days and Centrica has continued to benefit from Fresh01's award-winning approach to devising ever new formats and content.
Centrica PLC came to Fresh01 when the company needed to create an engaging travel security eLearning course for its employees and to summarise the existing course into a downloadable format for internal marketing. As with any eLearning programme, the key to success is to engage from the get-go. As a long-established company, the basis of Centrica's century-long success is to move seamlessly in sync with an ever-changing world, meaning that Fresh01 had to produce a course that would be as innovative as if it were created for a brand new energy company and work when rolled out on a grand scale.
Over a period of three months, Fresh01 created an interactive bespoke SCORM compliant eLearning course that made use of the advanced technological tools at its fingertips: APIs, HTML5 and new video formats. We created seven individual films shot on location and green screen and embellished by animation and kinetic text. Each film was supported by bespoke music creation and a unique back end system to support an interactive Q&A interface.
The project was enhanced by an interactive app, highlighting key facts and information for the course so that Centrica's employees can access vital safety information on the go, wherever they are in the world.
The client is delighted with the outstanding results and has reported back that, as is the general trend with adopters of eLearning solutions, productivity has increased exponentially. The programmes were exceptionally well-received by employees, who found them engaging, comprehensive and that the interactive elements encouraged them to retain their new knowledge. Subjects covered are cyber security, crime, terrorism & emergency situations, health & wellbeing, preparing and during your trip.

Leaves one to ponder, and rarely flatters? Is never enough to go all around, and often too rough when finally found? And where will it go long after I'm dust? Another will know and hopefully trust. Announce its calling with melodic chime. This ever-sprawling, mystery called time. Tree of Neurons Seasons pass and memories fall away, casualties of wind's torment through the day. The tree of neurons begs for fertile soil amidst the drought of life's constant turmoil. Fallen leaves betray the former glory, as details go missing from each story. If only we could gather all the piles and savor tightly visions of past smiles. But time prunes on with wicked precision, happy moments lost with each incision.

I'm soaking in all the well wishes from friends and family. Their positive energy and cautious baby fever makes me smile. LOL I think a few people are actually ready to go "surprise adopt" a baby for me. I love that they are invested in our happiness emotionally. A sense of community and well being spreads through me. My mind tells me this is not yet our time, but I can't help but be swept up in their hope. Even CWB left a lingering hand on my tummy before he kissed my head on his way out the door to work. "Be nice to mommy today, she doesn't feel good." he spoke ostensibly to the dogs, but the warmth of his hand told me exactly where his true thoughts lie.
I've talked to my little sister, her antics make me smile even though she called in a moment that I was choking back tears. The way she hops around with so much energy both rejuvenates and drains me. I wonder if that's what my older sisters saw in me. Boundless energy, hope, possibilities, mischief, excitement, love. I wonder if I've lost that or if it just packed away on this rainy, grey day.
Don't get me wrong. I love rainy, grey days. I often think I should have been born in London rather than Lubbock. The cool misty wind suites me more than the blistering heat and dust. An Island in the sea rather than a desert or painted sand. Oh, I love Texas, but I can't wait to leave. Ready to test that theory about absence and fondness. To see if I can hold all the beauty in my mind and relay it some stranger with enough conviction to make them wan to trek back the thousand miles to see for themselves.
I should be tweeting something.. but hey...I've done that all week when I only really need to do it three days. I can afford a day off. I should be writing something, besides this blog. And maybe I will later. I should be trying to eat something other than Saltines or Ritz. Drink something other than flat sprite and coffee. Do something other than scroll through Netflix, Amazon and Facebook.
I really should address the issue of a person who has infiltrated my sanctuary and harmed one of my precious
I wonder how many people are going to email me and ask me if that ^^^^^ is actually about them. There are a couple fringe floater that it could apply to lmao.
I should call someone, but the thought of a human voice actually grates on my nerves like a Styrofoam cooler against a tailgate. Not that I don't want to hear from folks-- I just don't want to "hear" from folks. And the act of speaking makes my throat prickle like fire. I'm annoyed at the imagined conversations. The feigning of appreciative tact that I just don't have the energy to contrive. "Yes, actually, I am aware that I am sick more than any other person you know. Yes, I should have a doctor check me out, your absolutely correct. The team of personnel I've been seeing since birth is obviously incompetent and your laymen's diagnosis is absolutely exactly what I suffer from. No, I had no idea you'd had the exact same ailments but different and were cured with milk of magnesia and cow chip tea. Oh yes, I hear they are making a Drea sized bubble this year. I am on the waiting list for one for of those." * I actually made myself smile with that, I'd laugh if it didn't hurt. I should be and actually am really grateful for all those conversations. But really people, sometimes a chic is just sick. Say feel better and move on lol.*
No, no.. today I am gonna blog randomly. Sleep and enjoy the sweet earth scented air. Today I am going to be sick, play hooky ( sorta) and not worry about what I SHOULD be doing. Probably gonna dry heave some more. Yeah, dry heaving is defo on the schedule *wish I could get rid of that particular event , but the other option is eating enough to actually PUKE and that is so not on*.
Gonna email a couple of people. And hope they don't take that as a "call me right now".
And then I'll read back over this blog obsessively to see if my words came out the way I wanted them to.
Not that I'll ever correct them if they didn't.
And I'll think that I shouldn't wait so long between blogs.
And that I really have a lot of thoughts for it being a grey, thoughtless kind of day.

Home Health Value-Based Purchasing is in full swing in nine pilot states, but even if your agency is not part of the pilot, there is no time to wait. Use the pilot as an opportunity to learn and prepare because it is extremely likely that HHVBP will become a permanent part of CMS's HHA reimbursement strategy.
"The Essential Guide to the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Progam" will provide you with everything you need to know, as well as what steps to take to make sure you succeed under the program's rules.

Your Gateway to the Future of Healthcare
The American Diabetes Association reports the average yearly total costs for a person with diabetes who developed complications were $20,700 – almost three times the average cost of $7,800 for patients without complications.
The results are clear. Insurance companies implementing telehealth programs are able to significantly reduce costs while helping to promote quality improvement and patient knowledge. Our full-circle, preventative healthcare solution enables a provider or health plan to easily apply a customized program designed to:
- Monitor chronic conditions to prevent hospitalization and emergency room visits
- Encourage self-management which leads to better health
- Educate and inform employees with long-term illnesses such as diabetes, heart conditions, etc.
- Monitor, encourage, and support compliance with rehab, wellness, and discharge plans
- Reduce employee out-of-pocket expenses through better awareness, early detection and early intervention
- Provide overall healthcare cost reduction for providers
By partnering with Advanced TeleHealth Solutions, insurance companies can experience a direct reduction in costs and improved performance by:
- Maintaining patients/clients outside of the hospital, thus reducing risks from exposure associated with institutional settings
- Maintaining control over patients/clients while Advanced TeleHealth Solutions monitors and delivers results
- Reducing expenditure of insuring clients by healthcare cost reduction
- Competitive positioning in the marketplace
View our results on readmissions and healthcare cost reduction. Find out more about how we use telehealth solutions to provide preventative healthcare for your insurance company.
The numbers from Advanced TeleHealth Solutions shows significant reductions in emergency room visits and re-hospitalizations, particularly for high-dollar patients.
I don't go to the hospital now because I'm able to check my vitals daily and I'm not afraid. I could barely function before, and now I feel safe. The staff is never in a hurry, never too busy for me. It's a comfort to know that they are watching out for me. It's like having a whole bunch of friends around all the time.
Telemonitoring has been very helpful. In the past, anytime a patient had a problem with blood pressure or a medicine had to be changed, it was very difficult to monitor, and many times we had to bring the patient back to the clinic or we had a nurse go check their blood pressure. Since telemonitoring, it's really been very convenient, especially for the patients.
By carefully monitoring the patient several times a day, Advanced TeleHealth Solutions could tell when it was time to make a home visit and administer care. As a result, the patient was much more comfortable and the home visits saved a trip to the hospital. With the budget crisis in the state of Missouri involving Medicaid state management, telemonitoring is such an inexpensive alternative to multiple trips to the emergency room or doctor's office.

Positioning For A Miracle
Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Apr 27, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: This sermon deals with Elijah and the way he had to be in the right place to receive a miracle from the Lord.
Positioning For A Miracle
10/15/2000 1 Kings 17:1-12 Luke 19:1-9
Pastor Toby and I have gone to a few volleyball games to watch some of the girls play. Just before the game starts, the girls all get into this squat like position, with their hands locked together moving from side to side with their arms and upper body. Now if you did not know they were playing volleyball, you'd be able to get a good laugh just looking at them. But each girl is expecting to make something happen the moment the ball comes over the net. They are attempting to put themselves in the best position possible to make something happen. They do not have any control over how the ball is going to approach them, but they are doing their best to make the most of whatever opportunity may come their way.
Often times, people will make the comment "I'm waiting on the Lord" for such and such when, all they may be doing is wasting time. Waiting on the Lord does not mean you sit back and see what it is God might do for you. In the verse those that "wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." The word wait does not mean to sit down. It's the word which means to wait on a table as a waiter or waitress would do at a restaurant. A good waiter or waitress is moving about quickly to serve the person he or she has been assigned to serve. Good waiters or waitresses know how to position themselves in such a way as to respond to your needs before being asked. To wait on the Lord means to position yourself to be ready to respond to what the Lord desires to send your way.
In our New Testament reading, Zacheaus wanted a miracle from Jesus. Here was this wealthy man who was probably used to people begging before him who needed to position himself to meet Jesus. I suppose he could have tried to have had his secretary contact the disciples to arrange a meeting with Jesus at his office. He could have tried that, but he never would have received a miracle from Jesus. He had the money to send a limousine to come and pick Jesus up and bring him to his house, but if he had tried that option, he would not have received a miracle from Jesus. In order to position himself for a miracle, Zaccheaus needed to forget about who he was, how much money he had, and what other people might think.
This Chief Executive Officer of Roman Taxation Incorporated, went out into the streets with a desire to see Jesus. God showed him a tree. "Now Zaccheus, if you want to meet Jesus, you've got to humble yourself and climb that tree." Can you imagine how funny this middle aged man must have looked, trying to climb a tree. Somebody crying out "help him Lord." But Zaccheus was positioning himself for a miracle. When Jesus got to him, he granted him a miracle of salvation that not only changed Zzaccheus, but was a financial blessing for a whole lot of people who really needed their money.
In order to receive a miracle from the Lord, sometimes we have to position ourselves to make it happen. If all we do is talk, without filling out an application, or making a change, or going to find somebody who can show us the right direction, we never will get beyond where we are today. Just waiting on the Lord is not enough. Do something in the waiting period. Getting in the right position requires some effort on our part.
Go back with me in history when King Ahab and Queen Jezebel were leaders of the country of Israel. Now this couple were famous for all the evil deeds they did. King Ahab was a pretty wicked fellow by himself, but that he was egged on to do even more evil by his wife Jezebel. They rejected the true God of Israel, and started to serve a god by the name of Baal. Now Baal was believed to be the god of fertility who made things grow and who controlled the weather to produce all the food needed. If you needed rain, you simply asked Baal for it.
Now God contacted Elijah the prophet, and let him know, "I'm about to position you for a miracle. I want you to go and tell King Ahab, that I said there will be neither dew nor rain for the next few years except at my word." Now Elijah was already upset with the King. He could not wait, to get in there and to tell the king off in a righteous manner of course.
He marched to the palace. The guards asked, "do you have an appointment". He told them, I don't need any appointment. "I'm Elijah. My name means servant of the Lord. I've got a message from God for the king." Now Elijah God had sent him so he was as bold as a lion when he got in before the King. "Now King I know that you think Baal is a god who controls the weather, but I want you to know right now that my God says there will be neither dew nor rain for the next few years except at my word."

Delivery: 5-7 Working Days
Calabrese Kabuki F1 Hybrid is a very early variety, ready 65 days after planting out.
Kabuki Seeds can also be grown at closer spacing's than usual in order to harvest the heads when small and tender. This will encourage the side shoots to develop for a second cropping.
Calabrese has a flavour that some find a little milder than sprouting broccoli. Add to that a shorter growing season and it makes an ideal vegetable for those who like quicker results.
Just like sprouting broccoli, this 'superfood' is packed full of cancer-fighting properties, vitamins, iron and other health-giving benefits. Unlike broccoli, calabrese does not cope well with having its roots disturbed.
Like all young brassicas, it is advisable to use netting or bird scarers when planting out.
Baby heads'' 65 days after planting out.
Sow Indoors: March thinly ½in (1cm) deep in clean trays or modules of firm pre watered compost. Keep soil moist at all times. Place in warmth 15-20°C (60-70°F) and keep moist at all times.

Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by diadlover, Oct 12, 2006.
There was a DVD that was distributed back in May that got Hoffa all pissy. Yes, it's old news.
The dude has a point. I don't know particulars but if Overnite has been sucessful as a non-union shop why organize now?
I know when he says "flexiablity" he means long hours at weird times but its to serve customers so the business is profitable so the employees have jobs and pensions.
I will agree with you for once Voiceofreason, the man does have a point. I have my retirement privately invested, along with a smaller UPS plan, I can make more money when I am old and ready to retire that way, through I privately invested fund.
they sure did a great job of making the teamsters look like a bunch of *******s.
i liked when heavy hunter said: 'im going to hurt you'
what a fat ass slob.
are we expected to smash things and people when we go on strike?
if so fortunatly i was to young for the last strike.
If everything they guy was saying is true then I'd wonder why them boys over at UPS Freight would even consider inviting the Teamsters in. The strike images alone are enough to turn most people away.
Regardless, the people in those videos are idiots.
Unionization should only happen if employees want it to happen, that is, when the employer is dicking around with their employees. This doesn't seem to be the case, especially when the VP sends a DVD to all employees to explain his side and say "we'll be stopping by in every shop to answer your questions".
Just a question, why were the teamsters striking in 1999 against overnight? Were the trucks in the video scabs or overnight employees who wouldn't show solidarity with another stupid teamster strike?
Because some people don't know how good they have it.
Once you're unionized, you can't go back. If employers are smart, they run an efficent business but they don't have to work their employees far into the ground. Then employees unionize, and because labour costs shoot up, the employers demand a lot of efficency out of their employees. You think if you take the union out of the picture, we'd still get good pay and get worked into the ground? It's something you have to live with, people...
I'm overnighting the devil some iceskates before it melts down there
hoser, are you saying that if ups wasnt associated with a union that management would ease up a bit, the company would be more layed back?????
First time I've seen this video. Pretty eye opening. The pension arguments it makes score points. Why would anyone want to join the central states plan and end up with less.
I wonder how overnite gets away with this type of action. I always thought it was a violation of the NLRB laws for a company to actively fight unionization.
my bad! i forgot to add a "not" into the OP. i'm saying the exact opposite.
management have to be easy and empowered for a non-union environment to thrive. those are the best places to work for.
All the VP said was "this is what the union will do" "unionizing is VERY serious and not appropriate for our kind of industry" "this is the other (and what I see to be the true) side of the teamsters" and "don't get intimidated". Pretty much: 'the grass isn't always greener on the other side'. I wouldn't call this "actively fighting", it's just good management that's fighting for what they believe in.
IMO it starts to get unlawful when the local power plant black's out a power plant worker's union meeting, or a company coerces employees not to organize, not a company rep giving his argument. It would be a sad day for our society when it's against the law for a VP of a company to publish media to his employees giving his organizations side of the unionization issue. To give unions monopoly over discourse in something as serious as union issues is a slippery slope.
And if the union deserves to exist in a shop, no plea from an executive would stop them.
You mite better take another look.This is what we had to put up with from the fellow brother hood.But as you can see we survived and will be around a long long time without the scum bag IBT!I have to say the employees at UPS frieght are some of the hardest,proud,loyal working people UPS could have ever invested in.UPS got the best frieght company money could buy.Overnite didn't get away with anything.I hope the IBT is paying dearly for all the employees that they injured during their THUG FEST.
I've never heard of Overite (AKA "UPS Freight") being the best freight company. Most customers I've talked with say FexEx Freight is the best. I was hearing that when they were still American Freight Lines.
I guess your opinion should be the only.If Fedxs is such a great company why haven't you gone over?I will tell you more than likely you wouldn't survive.You are the employee who needs the IBT to protect your big fat lazy a--.I here all these people on here complain about UPS.Im starting to believe the reason you need the union is because your a SLACKER and the company would have gotten rid of you by now.
ha...The company would get rid of everybody if they could. Including many management. The management style from this company was in place from day one...and continues to get worse. Personally I dont give a **** about the ibt, or ups. Both will screw you if they can. The local reps do a decent job. The local ups management do a decent job. Are you trying to say that every driver is a slob???
Separate names with a comma.

Safety Standards
Safety Standards
Crash testing and A.D.R. Compliance has been performed on all our products under the name of the Oliver Family during the various stages of product development. The Compliance pertains to any and all companies run by the Oliver Family both past and present.
A.D.R Compliancy. What does it mean and why?
Many people manufacture devices to add to vehicles both commercially and privately. Mostly everyone I know has made something for their car to hold, attach or store something at one time or another.
Anyone can make a box, call it a storage system and put it in the back of a vehicle. Is it safe? Will it stay there in the event of an accident?
Can you attach a legal cargo barrier to it? Can you attach child restraints to it?
The answers to all these questions if you ask their maker, will be no.
It is not a legal requirement to have storage systems ADR compliant. It should be!!! If I was investing hard earned cash into my vehicle, I would want it to last, be family friendly and child safe (and tested to be sure) for peace of mind.
Can you attach a legal cargo barrier to it? Can you attach child restraints to it?
The answers to all these questions if you ask their maker, will be no.
It is not a legal requirement to have storage systems ADR compliant. It should be!!! If I was investing hard earned cash into my vehicle, I would want it to last, be family friendly and child safe (and tested to be sure) for peace of mind.
Some manufacturers take the responsibility of their role as manufacturers seriously. RV Trade & Fleet P/L are one of those manufacturers, our customers safety is paramount .
Grad Zivkovic and his team of Automotive engineers of Australian Automotive Safety P/L in South Australia test all of RV T&F products to the relevant ADR rules and regulations and our products are not released to the market unless they pass and are deemed safe.
Vist their website for more information on the procedures and to see what's involved. www.autosafety.com.au/index.htm
Drawer Systems ADR42/03
Rated RV Trade & Fleet storage systems can carry 250kgs (ADR42/03) of evenly distributed weight in and on the system. This includes the fridge, recovery gear etc. We believe this is more than is required for any trip. It is good to know that it has been tested at this extreme weight and held safe to the vehicle in a crash test
Other manufacturers may claim to have crash tested similar products. It is important to know that when RV T&F crash test products, they are not individually tested but tested together in a real crash scenario.
Our systems are rated to carry 250kgs. Our barriers are rated to 60kgs (AS/NZS 4034.2:2001)
Cargo barriers and top shelf combo's. AS/NZS 4034.2:2001
Our ADR rated Cargo Barrier, Top Shelves and Dividing Barriers are attached to the storage systems when tested. It's important to know that all products will stay together if an accident occurs.
Weight issues
RV T&F work closely with Automotive Safety Engineering P/L in product design and load carrying capacity. Weight is always an issue when adding equipment, gear and off road products to the vehicle. RV T&F rate the carrying capacity of their gear based on the manufacturers specified carrying capacity of the vehicle. It is under these guidelines that we crash test and then give the gear a rated maximum load . These tests do not allow for other modifications.
Child Restraints ADR3/02
RV T&F have taken occupant safety a step further by crash testing child restraints for ADR compliance in conjunction with a fully loaded storage system.
Once a storage system is installed over the traditional child restraint fittings in the floor of the vehicle, they become unusable and it is unsafe to try and do so. RV T&F can install up to 3 child restraint anchorages to the rear of the storage system on both the left and right sides plus the centre of the system.
If child restraints are ordered at the time of purchase they can be factory fitted to the storage system and meet Australian Design Regulation ADR3/02.
They are also available as individual kits for retro fitting. RRP $25.00 each supply only.
Considerable time, effort and expense is put into ensuring that if you put RV T&F gear in your vehicle, you and your family will be safe wherever you go.
If you intend to make any permanent or temporary changes to either the load capacity or seating capacity of your vehicle, RV T&F strongly recommend that you speak to your relevant state regulatory authority.

"Who is the greatest centerfielder of all time? How about the most dominant pitcher? What's the best game ever? SI's team of experts once and for all settles the questions baseball fans have been debating since the first pitch was thrown," the back jacket cover announces in the book, Sports Illustrated Baseball's Greatest.
At two hundred and eighty-eight glossy pages, this over-sized hardbound coffee table book is targeted toward those who love the game of baseball and anything to do with America's favorite pastime. With color or black and white photographs that are full page close-up or smaller inserts, Sports Illustrated makes its mark honoring the beloved sport.
After an introduction discussing the athletes chosen and explaining how they were ranked, it gives the top ten players in each of the nine positions including right-handed, left-handed, and relief pitchers along with managers, games, ballparks, and franchises. Also added are the best designated hitters, sluggers, base runners, defensive players, and a summary of uniforms, characters, rivalries, movies, quotes, and records with a recap of results but no index listing names alphabetically.
In each of the "best of" chapters, the ten players chosen are listed with the winner first with large photographs and a few paragraphs per competitor. Also in each section, there is a full-page article reprinted from Sports Illustrated about a particular player.
Take the "mind and soul" position of catcher with the top ten listings in order starting with the best: Bench, Berra, Campanella, Rodriguez, Gibson, Cochrane, Fisk, Dickey, Piazza, and Carter. With the narrowest group of nominees, ten had to be chosen from eleven selections, with Harnett mentioned in the final results. A 1990 article by Ron Fimrite is included about Campanella, written after the player's car crash that paralyzed him. The photographs show the players catching, throwing, or getting ready to play ball.
Being a subjective ranking of winners, readers may debate the choices of position from long ago to current players. Was Cobb, Gehrig, Ruth, or Wagner a better player than Bonds, Glavine, Griffey Jr., or Jeter? Should gambler Rose be selected over four times in the categories or did the seven panelists overlook other games, seasons, or plays? Only readers can decide who they think had the best physical prowess, the strongest arm, or the most agility.
Worth its weight, this book is perfect for the baseball enthusiast that likes looking at pictures of their favorite players with little reading, few statistics, and a simplistic format.
This book was furnished by DKC Public Relations, Marketing & Government Affairs in lieu of a review based on the reader's opinion.

Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson is relishing his combination with new signing Blake Green, benefiting from the freedom the new five-eighth allows him to play with.
Johnson and Green made their first NRL start together against the Rabbitohs in Perth last week, with the pair shining as the Warriors picked up a 32-20 win to open their account for 2018.
Speaking at Warriors training today, captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck spoke about the effect that Green is having on the club's other playmakers, including Johnson.
"Greeny's there to take control, and allow players like myself and Shaun to run more," Tuivasa-Sheck said.
"On the weekend, you could see Shaun was loving the freedom to run, and you can see that he looks good doing it."
