To continue with the 515 East 72nd Street/Miraval Living Preview, I want to tell you about my latest obsession Be & D. It is the most fab collection of luxury handbags, shoes and belts. It has a distinctive point of view and truly rocks my world... That said, I want to share what their amazing publicist has written about them...
"In 2004, Be & D designers Be Inthavong and Steve Dumain burst onto the luxury scene with a debut collection that rocked, or rather, studded the world. Over the past 5 years, Be & D has solidified its position alongside storied luxury houses by consistently presenting collections that speak to the individuality of a new generation of luxury clients.
In celebration of Be & D's 5th anniversary, their iconic Garbo returns for Spring/Summer 2009, anchoring a capsule collection that is the epitome of punk modernity. The satchel remains in its signature sumptuous lambskin, this time awash with new spiked studs. Original buckles have been removed to streamline the effect, while the addition of whip stitched handles reinforce the intricate artisanal craftsmanship synonymous with Be & D. The grouping also includes the versatile soft-handle Garbo shoulder portfolio and matching waist belt, as well as the introduction of Garbo wallets.
The combination of equestrian-inspired whip stitch detailing and spiked studs continue in the perennial Greta, updated with signature Be & D hardware, and the Belleville 'baby' hobo – the perfect alternative for those who would rather 'carry' than 'clutch'. Tassel charms/key chains in the form of 18th century horsewhips add a touch of fetish to the mix.
To balance the collection's hardware-centric statement, Inthavong and Dumain have created two new shapes that add balance and softness without sacrificing attitude. The Clara portfolio is decidedly ladylike, but keeps from being too precious by turning the bow on its side. The Gibson tote and satchel are named for Charles Dana Gibson's "Gibson's Girl" who epitomized spirit, independence and femininity. Distinctive in its construction, the two top-zipper entries with separated compartments and a single gusset side pattern allows for organization while keeping the look sleek and easy – creating an organic square-like shape and unique proportion."
To get get up close and personal with the Garbo, the Greta and the Belleville, come visit Be & D at the gotta-attend Retail Therapy at 515 East 72nd Street/Miraval Living event on April 3rd from 3-7, April 4th from noon-5 and April 5th from noon-5. See you there.

For those who follow me on a regular basis, it's clear that Smooth Jazz and Quilting are my passions. At every opportunity I get, I indulge on these two activities.
Recently I combined these two persuits. I made a quilt for Dave Koz to celebrate the cruise I attended with him and many other of my favourite smooth jazz artists.He was delighted with the quilt and agreed to have a photo taken with myself and the quilt.
This is a close-up of the quilt... I used a variety of techniques from machine applique, piecing and hand embroidery. I added fotos of Dave and the circular blocks are a representation of his released albums.
All the fabrics used are music themed including the back of the quilt.
Before the cruise I visited Portugal and discovered this small shop called Loja do Sr Jacinto
in Caldas da Rainha (appr. 80 kms north of Lisbon).
It's an old fashion looking store and I believe it has been there for many, many years.
I was looking for "chitas de Alcobaca" which is a portuguese cotton fabric with bright and specific designs which include stripes. These are the ones I purchased.
Silvia at the store, tempted me with some of her button collection and I could not resist....
The foto also shows the thimbles and pins I managed to collect during this trip.
But the highlight of the quilting part of the holiday, was to meet face to face my quilting/blog friend Teresa Teresa in Lisbon.
We spoke for hours and I promised to visit her again ....
Here are some photos of some of the places I visited in Italy, France and Spain...
Amalfi Coast:
The Vatican:
Palacio da Pena in Sintra, Portugal:
Monserrate Palace, near Sintra (Portugal) which was an exotic palatial villa, the traditional summer resort for the Portuguese court.

They talk that they want to improve customization then do stupid things like that...
Who cares if a paladin is using a 2 handed staff vs a 2 handed sword.
Give me the option.
Wizard can't use plate mail? That's why they have str req that are high... so if they want to, they can... they just need to sacrifice alot for it.
Since auto-allocate stats, I think they said they're getting rid of requirements (besides level) to items.
More and more like WoW...
Diablo players don't want WoW.

i disagree. it's not like stats added much customization to d2. add str for item, add dex for block, rest vita. whooo! now barbs will naturally have high strength and life as they level, wizard will have high mana and not as much str (will have to level more to wear the same armor as a lower level barb). just go with it and stop comparing it to wow. it's getting pretty annoying.

They won't be able to wear the same armor... because of reqs.
The main reason people did that was because energy had no use in D2.
D3 energy gives damage to your spells... so you'd make a decision if you're a spellcaster if you want to have life over damage.
Also a hybrid would have to choose too.
It'd be much better if they let us choose how we want our characters to be built.
The more they talk about D3, the more apparent the similarities to WoW appear.
So far it sounds like a stripped down WoW (which is unfortunate but I'm still hopeful that it'll turn out to be a decent game).

Blizzard Quote:
Let me take this opportunity to clear up one thing, potentially unrelated to whatever the OP said.
There is a continuing idea that we have either said or stand behind the notion that auto-stats are either partially or in-whole being implemented because it makes the game easier to balance. That is completely false.
If manual stat placement was or should become the best system for the game then we would balance for it - bottom line. But the fact is, it isnt the best system. The game needs to be fun, it needs to be awesome. Were not going to cut corners or try to make it easier on ourselves by choosing systems that are less work. In fact Id say the exact opposite is true. Some of things these guys do requires an insane amount of work, but it makes the game better, and thats why its done.
Manual stats ultimately provide no better or more interesting customization options than other systems, and in fact by removing it were then able to implement systems which are better and more interesting ways of character customization.
Theres a last thread of well why cant we have everything? that auto-stat opponents hold to, and the simple answer there is that having a bunch of different systems all just sort of tossed in onto each other is not a clean or fun solution. We want a lot of customization, well have a lot of customization, clicking a button to allocate stat points in no way needs to be involved to make that true.
Let me just say, I do not likey! I would have to say give "me" a choice (option) of having my stat points auto-allocated or personally allocated, thank you for reading, bye!

static attributes is the least of my concerns, its just one of the only tidbits of info the public can focus on.
Wow is class based MMO, diablo is single player; i cant really compare them much bc of these roots.
the stats are big roots in many aspects to dmg and healing and it becomes too delicate a system to give the user an ability to dump 300% more power into (x). So my defense for blizzards static stats system is this will focuse on the +stats you gain with items/skills/buffs.
COuld blizz have left in a hint of user distribution on stats?, sure
maybe a
but it would have been weak compared and therefore a false impression of control..... thats just unnecessary imo, and a weak system does not need to take up months of code/QA/design time imo
i do like the system from what i saw over 1 year ago.
Magic missile doesn't kill people, wizards who cast magic missile kill people.

Most cognitive models try to explain/predict behavior presuming (sometimes unintendedly, and inadvertently) the availability of knowledge and its representation. Whereas such a bias may have different justifications and is useful, it may also mislead our understanding of the studied phenomena.
With this worry in mind, my aim is to build models that are able to discover the relevant properties of the environment for the task at hand, so that they can decide what/where to focus on, to build their own representations in terms of those properties and their relations, and increasingly improve performance as representations become more detailed. I am particularly interested on how humans deal with this problem.

Italian graphic designer and photographer Paolo Pettigiani isolates images within the bigger picture to highlight subtle patterns within geometric photos.
His latest photoseries 'E X P O' explores buildings and forms present at the current Universal Exposition 'EXPO 2015,' located this year in Milan, Italy. At a gathering that features several world renowned architects, Pettiginai cleverly explored minimal examples of both geometry and of color present around them. Each photo isolates a specific section of a building, and in doing so, separates it not only from the surrounding area, but also from the original building itself.
With this collection of minimally inspired geometric photos, the artist is able to highlight forms that would often be overlooked against a larger backdrop. Isolating our view allows the viewer to understand and appreciate subtle aspects of the world around us.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKT) ("Rocket"), a leading U.S.-based multi-platform gene therapy company, and the Stanford University School of Medicine today announced a strategic collaboration to support the advancement of Fanconi Anemia (FA) and Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) gene therapy research. Rocket's lentiviral vector (LVV)-based gene therapy program for FA is currently in clinical trials with academic partners in the U.S. and Europe. The LVV-based gene therapy program for PKD is currently in preclinical development in Europe.
Under the terms of the agreement, Stanford will serve as a lead clinical trial research center in the United States for a planned upcoming registrational trial for FA, and would also be the lead site for PKD clinical trials. Maria Grazia Roncarolo, M.D., director of the Stanford Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine and co-director of the school's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, will lead the school's effort. The center is a joint initiative of the School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children's Health and is focused on bench to bedside development of innovative cell- and gene-based therapies.
Gaurav Shah, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Rocket, commented, "Rocket is delighted to expand the reach of our gene therapy program in the U.S. and prepare for our registrational trial. We are committed to developing FA and PKD programs in collaboration with outstanding gene therapy centers and pioneers in the field. This collaboration with the Stanford Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine is a critical step within our overall strategy of building relationships with gene therapy experts, with investigators who have dedicated their careers to improving the care of patients afflicted with these disorders, and within the broader FA and PKD communities."
"This project will also evaluate the introduction of conditioning regimens for both FA and PKD, where we hope to develop best-in-class gene therapy approaches for both clinical indications. The regulatory design and preparation for our registrational trial for FA is ongoing and we remain on track to advance this program to a registration study in 2019. Our PKD program continues to advance in preclinical studies with an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) expected to be filed in early 2019," continued Dr. Shah.

Swinging for Kings:
Cast across and slightly downstream - This will give plenty of time to mend and get the fly down for that long, slow swing. I like to cast right across, throw a upstream mend and with the rod tip raised up, slowly back the fly down til it starts to swing (gives the fly that plugging appearance, backing down in front of them).
Throw a big mend upstream - Kings like the fly slow, a big upstream mend will slow the fly down and help get the fly in their face.
Don't set to early - The classic King take feels like, Headshake....Headshake..............Pull... Wait for the pull before you set the hook. If the King immediately starts screaming line off your reel, you don't need to wait, it's game on.....
Put the Boots to 'em - Once you set the hook and the game has begun, after that first run, fight them hard. If your not working, they are resting. The longer the fight, the more chance they will get off.

William Bensinger's Sword
Dublin Core
William Bensinger's Sword
Military Ohio
Daggers & Swords
Andrews' Raiders
This sword belonged to William Bensinger, a native of McComb, Ohio, who was one of Andrews' Raiders, a group of men who ventured deep inside Confederate territory during the Civil War. The raiders were caught, and William Bensinger was an exchange prisoner. Bensinger used this sword as a soldier in the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.), in which he served from 1861 until he volunteered for the mission as one of Andrews' Raiders. It measures 43" (109.22 cm) long and 1.5" wide (3.82 cm). In 1862, a group of Ohioans volunteered to be part of a secret mission deep into Confederate territory to disrupt transportation and communication lines. The group, later known as Andrews' Raiders, purchased tickets and boarded a train just north of Marietta, Georgia on the morning of April 12, 1862. When the train stopped at the town of Big Shanty for breakfast, the soldiers separated the engine, called The General, the coal tender, and three boxcars from the rest of the train. With the Confederate crew in pursuit, Andrews' Raiders headed toward Chattanooga, tearing up track and cutting telegraph lines. The Confederates picked up a new engine, The Texas, at the next railroad station and continued to pursue the Raiders. Although they released two of the boxcars and tried to set fire to a bridge, it soon became clear that the Raiders would never make it to Chattanooga. They abandoned The General about half way to Chattanooga. Andrews' Raiders fled on foot, but all 21 were captured within a week. Eight of them were hanged and the rest were sent to Confederate prison camps.

Single-action grippers or air nippers are automatically restored to the initial position by a compressed spring, i.e. it is sufficient to apply compressed air to operate the gripper or the air nipper.
Double-action grippers or air nippers have separate compressed air connections for opening and closing. They are especially suited for short duty cycles as they do not rely on the reset time of a return spring.

A mosque in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been renamed as 'Mariam, Umm Eisa' — Arabic for 'Mary, the mother of Jesus.'
"Using the name of 'Mother Mary' on this mosque is a gesture of love and peace that we hope will be followed around the world," The Rev. Ibrahim Farouk, patron of the Pope Tawadros Christian Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt in Abu Dhabi said, according to the Christian Post.
The change on June 14 was ordered by Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, to "consolidate bonds of humanity between followers of different religions".
According to the Christian Post, more Christian leaders continue to praise the move, noting that this will foster religious tolerance.
The earlier name of the mosque was the Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Mosque.
Mohammed Mattar Al Kaabi, chairperson of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments in the United Arab Emirates told Journalists on Thursday that the renaming of the mosque falls in line with the liberal policies of President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is the President of the United Arab Emirates, the Emir of Abu Dhabi and the Supreme Commander of the Union Defence Force.
Al Kaabi is quoted to have said the UAE has always been keen on tolerance and peaceful coexistence "that is based on justice and brotherliness among all those living in the UAE".
This week, according to Matters India, a church in Al Ain, an inland oasis city on the eastern border with Oman, UAE opened its doors for Maghrib prayers. The event saw church workers lay down carpets on the wooden floor so that more than 200 Asian Muslim workers could perform prayers.
After hearing the news, several senior Emirati officials in Al Ain called up the church to express their appreciation. "It was the first time, at least in the UAE, that a church opened its doors for Muslim prayers," said Bobin Skariya, a worker at the St George Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Simhasana Cathedral.
The country, however, continues to be ranked as a "high" level persecutor of Christians, Christian Post reports.

News from the Society of the Sacred Heart comes to us of the death of Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, at the age of 85. Last year she marked her 60th anniversary as a Religious of the Sacred Heart. How blessed are the peacemakers.
Prominent peace activist Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, died Monday, August 27 at Oakwood, the Society of the Sacred Heart's elder care center in Atherton, California. Known around the world for her commitment to peace, Sister Montgomery was incarcerated many times after witnessing to peace and justice through acts of nonviolent civil disobedience, in protest of nuclear weapons. Her life will be celebrated in a Mass of Resurrection at Oakwood, 140 Valparaiso Avenue, Atherton, California, 94027. Burial will follow in the Sacred Heart Cemetery on the grounds of the Convent.
"Contemplative and a lover of the poor, Anne stood simply and strongly against that which harmed people and the earth, regardless of the cost to herself," wrote Fran Tobin, a Religious of the Sacred Heart and one of her many friends.
Anne Montgomery was born in San Diego, November 30, 1926 to Rear Admiral Alfred E. and Alice Smith Montgomery. Her only sibling, a brother, Brook, predeceased her. She entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in Albany in 1948, professed first vows in 1951 and final vows in 1956 in Rome. She is remembered with deep respect and affection by Religious of the Sacred Heart around the world, as well as former students and colleagues.
As a member of a Navy family that moved several times during her childhood, Sister Montgomery found a home as a teenager at the Eden Hall Academy of the Sacred Heart in Torresdale, Penn. She graduated with both a bachelor's and master's degree from Manhattanville College, also founded by the Society of the Sacred Heart, and later earned a second master's degree from Columbia University in New York.
Sister Montgomery's teaching ministry began in classrooms in various Sacred Heart schools, including the Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City, where she served1959-69. In 1970, she began to teach at the Street Academy of Albany, where she experienced the challenges faced by the poor and people of color. In 1975, after training to educate children with learning disabilities, she returned to New York City to work with school dropouts in East Harlem. In the late 1970s, Sister Montgomery began the work of her life – that of peace and service to the most vulnerable – first at the Catholic Worker House in New York, then with the Little Sisters of the Assumption in East Harlem. She soon moved into a fulltime ministry as an advocate for peace, which was to continue for the rest of her life. She became known in the peace communities on both the East and West Coasts as a person deeply committed to nuclear disarmament by nonviolent actions.
In 1980, as a member of the first Plowshares action called The Plowshares Eight, Sister Montgomery took what was to be the first of several Plowshares disarmament actions. She was arrested and served time in jail several times. Her final Plowshares action took place in 2009, when she was 83. She served her two-month jail term, and four months of house arrest, last year.
The Society of the Sacred Heart sent the following in a missioning statement at the time of Sister Montgomery's sentencing, "We send you, Anne, on behalf of the Society of the Sacred Heart, to continue your prophetic, educational mission with courage and grace, whether within the walls of prison or without, making known the love of Jesus for our world and all people."
Sister Montgomery once explained her peace activism by saying, "Civil disobedience is, traditionally, the breaking of a civil law to obey a higher law, sometimes with the hope of changing the unjust civil law. … But we should speak of such actions as divine obedience, rather than civil disobedience. The term 'disobedience' is not appropriate because any law that does not protect and enhance human life is no real law."
Sister Montgomery's commitment to peace and nonviolence led her to ministries in war-torn areas around the world. As a member of the Christian Peacemaker Teams, an ecumenical anti-war nonviolent group, she served as a witness to peace in the 1990s in dangerous conditions in Iraq, the West Bank, Hebron and the Balkans.
Sister Montgomery was also a member of Pax Christi and the Catholic Worker Movement. She received several awards for her work for peace, most recently the 2012 Courage of Conscience Award from the Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts, which she received just one week before her death. She was a sought-after speaker and an educator both by example and word, but her true call was to stand as witness to the Gospel.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Society of the Sacred Heart, 4120 Forest Park Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63108.
The Society of the Sacred Heart was founded in France in 1800 by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and brought to the United States by St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in 1818. There are 330 members in the United States Province and more than 2,500 professed members in 41 countries. Members of the Society are committed to discover, live and announce God's love through the service of education for transformation, in diverse ministries, particularly addressing the needs of children, young people, women and those in society who are marginalized.

Any advice other than "get over it" would be helpful ! I am new to cycling. I say new because I can't ride over 32 mph downhill, I can't get into my aero bars without gripping fear which makes me pop right back out, and I can't U turn left. I have completed 4 Ironman triathlons on a tri bike barely ever getting into aero ! - what a waste right ? I ride and ride and ride outside and feel a little more comfy at the end of each season than at the start, but no where near as comfy as the 60+ year old women who cycle past me tucked nicely into aero. Is there any advice on how I can either drill or strength train or something so I don't feel so nervous? So I don't feel like I need to steer the bike with my hands ? I have seriously thought about two shots of tequila before my next ride to relax - but my husband doesn't like that idea too much.

They could've easily their "mistake" an inadvertent ballistic-missile drill. After all;
- Hostile governments—including the Iranian, Russian, and North Korean governments—have made quite clear their intents to try to engage the United States, Israel, and others in nuclear wars.
- Especially with Russia, history is repeating itself—don't, for example, the Baby Boomers and even some Gen Xers in the Hawai'ian government remember the under-the-desk drills?
- All one needs to do is look at a few Google maps to see why Hawai'i's "mistake" of a ballistic-missile warning could've been an opportunity for a ballistic-missile drill.
In conclusion, then, the Hawai'ian government is either oblivious or complicit regarding the danger that Anti-American governments pose to Hawai'i and the rest of the United States—and not to mention that on the flip side, an island government that is still allied with Russia once tried to go after the United States (Don't the Baby Boomers and still-living members of previous generations remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?).

I believe that the sense of community that Venus provides us with gives us the support, motivation and encouragement to do things in both our business and personal lives that without that sort of environment around us we may not do, simply because we don't have the know how, the courage or we need some support and motivation! As women we provide one another with a safe and friendly environment to learn and grow not only personally as women, but as business women as well.
Our vision is to help everyone, no matter where they are on their journey. We use the network to support the network wherever possible, as the old saying in goes, you get out what you give, so if you're wanting to step up in your own business, now might be time to think about how you can contribute to the growth not only of yourself and your own business but also to the other Venus women you will meet when you join.
Our Regional Managers are all women well versed in business and in Venus, the main thrust of their roles being to help you get the most out of your membership by putting together your own personalised networking plan, of course the execution will be up to you but we'll give you all the support we can and be your very own cheering squad!
What does this all mean to you as a potential member? It means we as a company we are stepping up and supporting and motivating one another, we'd love you to come along for the ride. We need your enthusiasm, your motivation and your love and support to help us get to where we want to be as a community. A rising tide lifts all boats!
If you come in to Venus with a positive attitude and a work ethic you can't fail! It works for us, you can be sure it will work for you – a little hard work, and enthusiasm will see us all better off and more importantly we'll be able to help one another and get to know a whole range of business women and businesses that we don't yet know – mostly you'll come to understand how amazing this community and the women in it are!
Come and visit a group by registering as a guest. I look forward to meeting you soon.
26-27 October, 2018
Ellerslie Events Centre, Auckland
Members share their experiences and thoughts on being part of Venus.
I have very much enjoyed being part of the Venus Network. I always look forward to the fortnightly meetings and the chance to catch up with the group on their news and to RAVE one-on-one to really get to know Venus members and their business. I always find it interesting to talk to people about what they do and why and their combination of skills and experience as it is this combination that is unique for every person / business…
I appreciate that Venus offers so many opportunities – to connect to members within and outside of your own group, the educational opportunities within Venus and the Venus Academy, to collaborate, meet new people, share ideas, learn from each other, become aware of the products / services available to help business owners thrive and personal products / services as well. It's great to know what is possible, what is available and to be able to support other members.
I chose Venus because of the Values, network and meeting structures, resources available, number of networking opportunities and the overall caring and supportive intention of the business. There is so much available to members through the various Venus offerings (referrals, collaborations, education, connections, the conference, magazine and so on) to those who choose to access them.
Venus certainly continues to grow each year in exciting new ways – congratulations on your development of the network offering! It never ceases to amaze me the amount you achieve!!

NewAir's WAT30B BPA-free water cooler not only delivers pure, clean, and great-tasting water, but peace of mind as well. NewAir is committed to the highest levels of quality and safety, which is exactly what you get with this water dispenser.
Includes a Built-In Bottle Spike for Easy Loading & No Spills
In order to prevent leaking or overspills when installing your water bottle, the NewAir WAT30B has been constructed with a built-in bottle spike at the top of the unit. When you load your chosen size water bottle into the top of the water cooler, the spike pierces the bottle cap and lets the water drain down into the reservoir. Bubbles will percolate up as it fills. Once the bubbles stop, the unit's ready to dispense water.
Includes Child Safety Lock on Hot Water Faucet
Because the cooler dispenses water at an extremely high temperature, NewAir has included an extra safe child safety lock on the hot water faucet to make sure your little ones stay safe 24/7. It provides a reliable and safe experience for your whole family, courtesy of NewAir.
Saves Money & Makes Your Home More Energy Efficient
The WAT30B is Energy Star approved, which means it provides great-tasting, hot and cold drinking water using less energy than its competitors. The cooler also complies with UL and NSF safety and quality standards. The dispenser has an on/off switch for the hot water tank. It's an additional energy-saving feature that lets you disable the heater, in order to save money while you're not using it.
Stainless Steel Water Tank Provides Clean Drinking Water 24/7
The NewAir WAT30B comes with high-quality, stainless steel water tank that provide clean drinking water all day long. The tanks are immune to corrosion and actually improve the taste of your water. Water from dispensers with plastic tanks often have a plastic taste, but the stainless steel tank in this water coolers gives it a pure, crisp and clean taste.
Removable & Easy to Clean Drip Tray
The drip tray below the water nozzles catches stray water droplets before they can run down and get your floor wet. The tray is 8" below the nozzles and fully removable. Take it out when you need to fill larger bottles or when it needs cleaned. The tray is completely dishwasher safe, so it's convenient to clean as often as you like.
Water Tanks Hold a Large Amount of Hot & Cold Water
The water tanks can hold the following amounts:
- Cold Water Tank: 0.8 Gallons
- Hot Water Tank: 0.26 Gallons
Requires Minimal Maintenance to Prevent Anti Bacterial Buildup
The dispenser only needs to be cleaned every 3 months in order to prevent mineral buildup in the water reservoir. Maintenance is as simple as running a mixture of water and vinegar or water and lemon juice through the machine. The exterior should be cleaned with a soft cloth, soap, and water as often as needed.
Great Accessories Help Save You Time & Money
Instead of spending time and money purchasing fresh plastic water jugs, you can fill the WAT30B using the NewAir WAT10W Water Filtration Bottle. It sits on top of your cooler like an ordinary water jug, but it can be refilled using tap water. The filter removes chlorine, particles, and odors, producing water every bit as fresh as what you'd get from a bottle.
Attractive Design Improves the Look of Your Kitchen
Most water coolers have been designed to provide a convenient way to access water on a regular basis. However NewAir have considered many factors when developing this top loading water cooler. The WAT30B is extremely compact with an estimated height of 39.5 inches (58.5 inches with a bottle installed), therefore it can fit into a multitude of spaces. In addition to its compressed design it has a polished black finish with silver highlights. No matter the theme of your kitchen or your personal preferences, this cooler will blend in seamlessly with its surroundings. An added feature found in this cooler is the storage cupboard located at the bottom of the unit, which is ideal for storing cups and glasses. Please note that this is not a refrigerator.

San Francisco, California, June 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global market for next generation sequencing is expected to reach USD 27.87 billion by 2022, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Technological developments in the field of genomic sequencing is expected to cause a decline in the cost of sequencing per base pair and thereby, greatly enhance adoption and usage rates of next generation sequencing over the forecast period. With this expected increase in usage of whole genome sequencing, a consequent increase in revenue from HLA and prenatal testing segments is also expected, owing to the introduction of more informative novel phase resolved single cycle reads. Growing incidences of cancer and infectious diseases are further expected to fuel the growth of the next generation sequencing market over the forecast period.
Browse to access In-depth research report on Global Next Generation Sequencing Market with detailed charts and figures: http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/next-generation-sequencing-market
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- Targeted sequencing & resequencing was the leading technology segment of the market in 2014, majorly owing to rapidly growing demand in oncology and infectious diseases related research. Sequencing of targeted genes allows researchers to gain insights into the functioning of cancer cells and pathogenic life cycles. Growing incidences of life threatening forms of cancer and infectious diseases is a high impact rendering factor expected to contribute to the growth of this segment over the forecast period.
- The next generation sequencing based oncology market is expected to lead the market in terms of revenue throughout the forecast period. However, the use of NGS in fields of HLA and prenatal testing are expected to grow at a relatively higher rate through to 2022, owing to the introduction of techniques which can enable researchers to acquire phase-resolved HLA and prenatal sequences in single cycle reads. In addition, recent developments are expected to solve sequencing ambiguity issues and provide greater insights about genetic functioning.
- Next generation sequencing was the largest workflow segment of the market in 2014. The introduction of technologically advanced genome sequencing platforms and the growing demand for personalized medicine are two factors likely to drive segment growth over the forecast period.
- Next generation sequencing based data analysis is also expected to grow at a considerably high rate during the forecast period. Large amounts of sequencing data generated from extensive R&D initiatives and the subsequent growth in demand for storage and analysis are some factors attributing to the segment's rapid growth.
- North America emerged as the leading regional market in 2014. High R&D investment directed towards the development of genome sequencing, presence of sophisticated technology framework, increasing adoption rates of whole genome sequencing and the reduction in cost of sequencing per base pair are some factors accounting for the region's large market share.
- Key participants of the next generation sequencing market include GATC Biotech AG., Life Technologies (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 454 Life Sciences Corp. (Roche Holding AG), Pacific Biosciences, Agilent Technologies Inc., Macrogen Inc., Beijing Genomics Institute, Biomatters Ltd., CLC bio (Qiagen), Illumina Inc., DNASTAR Inc., Knome Inc., Qiagen NV., Helicos BioSciences, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies.

Ok, so before I get ahead of myself, I technically I haven't been accepted into college yet. The stressful experience of waiting for that acceptance letter will continue until the 20th of August. But I threw an e-mail off to the wonderful people at the school of english in the college I hope to attend anyway, asking
beggging to be notified as soon as the reading list was published…and it's arrived!! YAY!!
In first year English we take a general compulsory course and then specialise in year 2 and 3. For Drama we're studying
- The Bald Prima Donna – EugeneIonesco
- Look Back in Anger – John Osbourne
- The Caretaker – Harold Pinter
- Romeo and Juliet – William Shakespeare
Scarily I haven't read any of these, actually I haven't heard of most of them (except obviously Shakespeare :P). I look forward to the challenge. I do wish we were doing a different Shakespeare play as while I haven't read Romeo and Juliet, those I've spoken to don't rate it as one of his greatest works. But then again it is Shakespeare, so I can't imagine it's going to be anything but a pleasure to explore in greater detail.
For Fiction we're studying
The Picture of Dorian Gray – OscarWilde
- Dubliners – James Joyce
- Vilette – Charlotte Bronte
- The Member of the Wedding – Carson McCullers
This group fairs a little better as I've either heard of or read all but McCullers' The Member of the Wedding. I read The Picture of Dorian Gray a couple of months ago and adored it. I was in the middle of exams at the time so no doubt a lot of the messages and symbolism most likely went unnoticed but I loved what I did manage to catch and look forward to going through it with a fine tooth comb. 😛 I'm actually reading Dubliners at the moment. It's…strange…but I'll hold off further judgement until I get into it properly (after I finish Inheritance :().
There's also a poetry class but I won't know exactly what we'll be studying until I get started. Last but not least WE'RE STUDYING OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH! Ok maybe, possibly, I shouldn't be so excited to study this. I know more than one person has given me a funny look when I've mentioned that I can't wait to study it but I can't. My old English teacher did a little with us in a class before Christmas and myself and a friend of mine were absolutely hooked! (not that I've actually attempted to learn anymore but in my defence I was studying for other exams) I'm not great with languages, but still find them fascinating. I was even tempted to take a latin module in 1st year of college but thought better of it. I can't wait to learn how English as we know it evolved through the ages from that in The Canterbury tales to Shakespearean to what we consider English today. We're studying Beowulf and I've already been told to get the translation as fast as possible so I'll definitely do that.
All in all I'm really excited to get started, if not a little apprehensive as well. I'm also going to be taking classes in Psychology, Archaeology and History in my 1st year. I hope to then continue on to get a History and English degree. I've loved the college I've applied to for years, ever since I visited it on an open day. I fell in love with the old stone buildings and the character that it exudes. What can I say it appealed to the historian in me. Fingers crossed I get that acceptance letter in the post.
If anyone has actually read any of the above, drop me a line. *Goes to hunt down copies of the aboves*
P.S I will most likely miss my weekly review on Monday as my Debs/prom is tomorrow and I won't get a chance to finish anything by Monday, unless there's a miracle (or it rains). I'll hopefully get something posted by mid-week though my exam results are also being realeased Wednesday followed by that all important college acceptance letter so I'm not sure when I'll next be online.
Au revoir!

My colleague Robin Yehle (I don't know why they call her that – I've never head her raise her voice) posted a great tip on how to use Plug-in Spy to help you discover which part of the RTC API to use.
Figuring out the right method to use in the API, and the right interfaces to access so you can reach that method, is one of the hardest things about writing RTC extensions right now. Her tip is a great time saver, so check it out!

Little Brian a big winner
Paint Sticks creative range scoops gold at Bizziebaby Awards 2017
Little Brian has won Gold in the Arts and Crafts category at this year's Bizziebaby Awards.
The creative Paint Sticks range scooped top place in the awards, which is judged solely on product use by a panel of independent testers.
The judging panel included parents that were given the opportunity to trial a range of products along with their children which saw Paint Sticks come out on top for its mess-free painting fun.
Lara Alcock, Sales and Marketing Director at Little Brian, said: "We're very proud of Paint Sticks and absolutely delighted that it has achieved yet another award. The fact it is judged by parents and children really is testament that they meet the needs of everyone that uses or experiences the product.
"We're still very early into the Little Brian journey, having only launched last year, and are continuing to invest in the Paint Sticks range and are committed to keeping the bar as high as it has already been set, meeting the needs and expectations of parents with young children so watch this space!"
Paint Sticks provide a clean and convenient way to paint without the need for water or brushes or the usual mess that comes with it and the sticks twist up and down to get the solid paint out, applying colour to a range of surfaces.
The Bizziebaby Awards accolade is another to add to the cabinet for Little Brian, which already scooped three other awards in the last nine months.
Paint Sticks come in three different colours: Classic, which offer bold and vibrant colours, shimmer-effect Metallic, and Day Glow, which provide fluorescent colours. Classic and Metallic Paint Sticks are available in both a 12 and six pack, and Day Glow is available in a pack of six.

Regarding the dispute between Rick Dees and comedians Ron Stevens/Joy Grdnic (Pop Eye, by Patrick Goldstein, April 14), I wonder if any of them remember the 1960s routine by Peter, Paul and Mary involving the drive-in restaurant? Sound familiar?
Maybe that's the real reason Stevens/Grdnic don't want to push too hard for credit.

I am blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful support system and incredible community. As my sweet girl Ahnung continues to heal from her surgery, we will walk this health journey together, wherever it takes us, as we continue to be supported and held up by such a loving community.
I will hopefully hear from my surgeon tomorrow with the results of the pathology report. At times I wonder if the anxiety of waiting for the results to come in can be worse than whatever the news is ... I remember waiting and waiting for the results of Ahnung's pathology report to come in, and when the call finally came and the somber voice of my vet quietly said, "I'm sorry, I don't have good news for you ..." and as he went on to say a million things, the only words that kept echoing in my head were "she has an aggressive cancer ... invasive adenosquamous carcinoma ..." I remember thinking and wishing I was still waiting for that call, because at least during the wait, there was a part of me that could continue to hope the report would come back benign or at least a treatable cancer. So here I am again, waiting. Somehow, at this very moment I am simply grateful. No matter what my surgeon tells me tomorrow, no matter what the outcome is, I will be okay. I was reading one of my favorite Mary Oliver poems this morning, "The Journey" .... I am so blessed to be living my life's passion; i am so blessed to be serving my community in a way that makes my heart full and so alive; i am so blessed to be surrounded by such a loving and caring community; and i am blessed to be walking this health journey alongside my beloved Ahnung. My prayer and my wish is that I am given the courage and strength to be able to deal, with love, grace and acceptance, whatever direction our journey takes us.
The Journey
By Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice—
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do—
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Finally got a chance to try out the FAB Overdrive that I picked up for 15 bucks at a Guitar Center over the holidays. Setup: my MIJ '69-reissue Pink Paisley Tele to the pedal to my stock Pro Junior amp.
First, believe the little instruction booklet warning to make sure the level is set at no more than 25% when you turn it on -- this is, as noted, a HIGH GAIN pedal. Out of the box, all three knobs were set at 50%, the lines on the knobs facing up.
All that is on the top of the pedal are blue light to show when it's on and the activation "button" that you step on. The knobs are placed on the back side of the pedal, right above where the cables are plugged in, not the top. They face away from you and to adjust them the right way, you have to remember if you are looking down on them as they point away from you, that you must rotate them counterclockwise -- or you can pick it up and face that side of the pedal toward you and and turn them clockwise. Awkward.
A little goes a long way with both the level and the OD knobs. I certainly didn't need to go any higher than a quarter turn on the level, and the OD dirties it up fast, too. As the distortion goes up, it doesn't exactly muddy up, but does seem to blend notes of chords more. It also makes the tone more "solid state" -- increasingly brittle and harsh. While the Pro Jr. and the Tele get along well and give that nice Tele twang some punch, add in the FAB OD and what I got was a definite shift to a "quack" from the single coils. More pronounced if the pedal's tone is set toward the high side, but still there when tone is lowered or the neck PU is in play rather than the hotter bridge PU.
Doesn't seem to add any extra noise to the signal when inserted into the path.
I didn't have a long time to fiddle with it, but initial reaction is "less than impressed" other than the fact that it can definitely help you punch through if you need to give your amp a boost. Of course it might hurt someone or something.

Ramadan tends to be a time for rich and bountiful Iftar feasts. I admit that as a child, I grew up in a similar tradition, with the table groaning under a large number of dishes either fried or super creamy. Due to certain health and dietary reasons, the last few Ramadans have been of the lighter variety, helping to detox the body and still be wide awake for working or going to evening classes.
That being said, one main dish that is a staple in the family Iftar, regardless of whether we serve everything fried up or not, is chickpeas (or channa as most desis know it). My granny has come up with countless ways of serving them, including having them raw.
One key ingredient in all the channa dishes is chaat masala. This mix is available in most supermarkets in the UAE and quite spicy and tangy. A word of caution: be super careful with the salt as most chaat masala mixes contain liberal doses of salt. The best thing is to add salt just before serving if you feel the sodium content is too low. Oh, and my mom and granny are coriander addicts so don't even think of having these recipes without them.
So, as a guest contributor, I'm sharing three ways of serving the humble chickpea. These dishes are quite easy on the stomach, yet filling:

But what's this - chick peas in a can?
I guess the days of soaking dried chick peas to soften them before cooking are over! LOL

I never said I was a traditionalist - although the raw chickpea one should satisfy your taste for soaking them. :)

Hi everyone,
I have a large shed at the bottom of my garden and have converted about a third of it into a coop for the winter months and for when we have excessive bad weather. The shed is approximately 13'X8'.
This is how it started out...
I bought some cheap wood and some off cuts of plyboard from a timber merchants and sectioned off a third of my shed by building a frame for my winter coop in the left hand side.
I used some thick, rigid wire mesh for the window to allow ventilation and built a door with two sliding bolts to keep the coop secure.
I then used some more plyboard for a large nesting box. (This didn't take too long to knock up)
Next, I cut to size a broom handle and secured this at either side of the coop for a perch and because I had some left over, I added a smaller one too. Then I decided to build a droppings board underneath the perches to catch the droppings and make cleaning the coop an easier task. I cover this board with old newspaper and remove it when soiled.
I found the old 'Meadowside' house sign in another shed of mine and thought I'd put it to good use and name the chicken coop that.
Then I built a ladder leading to the droppings board for the chickens to jump up onto the perches. (I did lower the perches after these photos were taken to make it easier for them to jump up. I dont think it was too high, I just think they were a bit lazy and just decided to roost on the board but lowering it encouraged them to jump up onto it.) I added a few long screws to the left hand side of the coop to hang cleaning tools to keep things organised.
And finally, I gave the shed a well needed lick of paint. It was VERY thirsty and absorbed loads! But it now looks much better!
This coop, as I mentioned earlier, is only used for the cold winter months and extreme weather conditions. I like my chooks to live outside and even in winter during the day my chickens will live outside but at night will be carried into 'Meadowside'.
I also built the wooden framed chicken coop that you can see here and stapled chicken wire all around it. This is where my chickens live at the moment. They are happy chickens!

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
Prehypertension among pregnant women can predict the development of postpartum metabolic syndrome, a Chinese study showed.
A single at-term measurement of diastolic blood pressure at the prehypertensive threshold of 80 mm Hg or higher was associated with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.94 for subsequent metabolic syndrome (95% CI 1.19–7.25) compared with being in the normal range below 80 mm Hg, Qiong Lei, MD, of the Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital in Guangzhou, China, and colleagues reported in Hypertension.
Women with a diastolic blood pressure trajectory putting them in the prehypertensive range for much of their pregnancy were 6.5 times more likely to develop postpartum metabolic syndrome (adjusted OR 6.55, 95% CI 1.79-23.92; P=0.04) than women who were classified as having lower or normal blood pressure while pregnant.
"Moreover, incorporating the diastolic blood pressure trajectory, but not the diastolic blood pressure prehypertension defined by a single measurement at term, with glucose and triglycerides provided a prediction model with clinically acceptable discrimination (AUC of 0.7–0.835) and good calibration," the researchers noted.
They proposed that a distinction should be made between pregnant women and the general population in blood pressure guidelines, noting the typical J- or U-shaped trajectories during pregnancy as peripheral arterial resistance changes that has left optimal pressure an "open question."
Blood pressure trajectories are relatively inexpensive, and have the potential to identify pregnant women who might be at increased risk for metabolic syndrome, according to the researchers.
"The article contributes to our expanding knowledge of the risk factors that help us identify future cardiovascular risk in women," Nieca Goldberg, MD, of the NYU Langone Joan H. Tisch Center for Women's Health in New York, said in an email to MedPage Today. "It is another way we can identify future heart disease and take risks for early steps for prevention."
Lei's group agreed that young women with risk-associated blood pressure trajectories in pregnancy may warrant early cardiovascular risk factor surveillance so that "lifestyle modifications may help delay the onset of cardiovascular disease that may present 20 to 30 years after delivery and consequently improve women's health status and quality of life."
Data was collected based on antepartum and postpartum check-ups of 307 consecutive women in Guangzhou who had a blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or lower, normal lipid and glucose profiles, and no tobacco or other substance abuse at 11- to 13-weeks' gestation in pregnancies that resulted in a healthy singleton live birth. Each participant underwent a minimum of seven antepartum check-ups and two postpartum check-ups at which physicians recorded body weight, measured BP, took obstetric information down, and performed an ultrasound scan.
While none of the participants had metabolic syndrome at baseline, 35 (11.3%) of them developed metabolic syndrome by their second postpartum follow-up visit.
The participants were placed in one of the three categories:
- The low-J-shaped group (32.4%), who maintained a low diastolic pressure of 62.5 to 65.0 mm Hg at 11- to 13-weeks' gestation then a J-shaped change through to term
- The moderate-U-shaped group (52.5%), who had a moderate starting diastolic pressure around 70 mm Hg at 11- to 13-weeks' gestation, followed by a slight increase, which "represents participants with blood pressure levels between normal and prehypertension levels"
- The elevated-J-shaped group (13.2%), who had an elevated starting diastolic pressure of 76.2 to 81.8 mm Hg at 11- to 13-weeks' gestation that then steeply increased over the course of the third trimester, such that they fell into the prehypertensive range for much of their pregnancy
The moderate-U-shaped group did not have significantly higher risk than those in the low-J-shaped group. Nor were systolic blood pressure or mean arterial pressure significantly associated with postpartum metabolic syndrome.
Limitations of the study included the follow-up rate of only about 60%, the solely Chinese population, lack of self-reported smoking status data, and a dearth of information about the women prior to conception.
Support for the research was provided by the Science and Technology Planning Project of Guangdong Province, and by the Tianjin Municipal Science and Technology Commission Key Funding.
The researchers disclosed no relevant relationships with industry.

The Brothers of St. Gabriel linked their foundation to St. Louis Marie de Montfort (1673-1716) in France. The first Brothers were associated with the founder, St. Louis Marie, and assisted him in his missionary preaching in the western part of France. In the course of his mission in those parts of France St. Louis Marie de Montfort established charitable schools for needy children. He entrusted this work to the early followers, from whom the group grew to be later known as the Brothers of St. Gabriel.
For news on the Gabrielite Brothers go to:
The Brothers of St. Gabriel arrived in Singapore at the end of 1936. They took over the running of Holy Innocent English School (later on known as Montfort School) in 1937 at the invitation of the late Bishop Deval. The mission in Singapore grew and flourishes and today we have the Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools; the Boys' Town, which include the Boys' Town Home, the Assumption Vocational Institute and the Assumption English School; and the St. Gabriel's Primary and Secondary Schools. Today there are no longer any Brothers directly teaching in the school but the spirit of the founder continues among the many lay personnel of the schools and institution. The St. Gabriel's Foundation established in 2001 constituting of lay members and Brothers now governs the schools and institution in the spirit of the founder St. Louis Marie de Montfort as emulated by the early founding Brothers.
The Brothers of St. Gabriel arrived in Johor Bahru in 1955 and took over the St. Joseph's Schools. In 1957 they took over the Serendah Boys Home for some two years and thereafter started the Montfort Boys' Town in 1959 in Shah Alam. Today the Brothers in Malaysia are mainly engaged in running institutions for the needy youths. They run the Montfort Boys Town in Shah Alam, the Montfort Youth Training Centre in Sabah and the Montfort Youth Centre in Melaka. Those institutions cater to those youths who have dropped out of school, and provide them with vocational skills training and character formation.

Last June, when anti-virus researchers reported the discovery of the first proof-of-concept cell phone virus, analysts and experts immediately predicted a coming wave of malware targeting high-end mobile devices.
Since then, the warnings have been coming fast and furious. According to the experts, the original proof-of-concept code quickly evolved into Cabir, a worm capable of bluejacking nearby cell phones running the Bluetooth-enabled Symbian Series 60 operating system.
Then came reports of mutants and Trojans and weekly warnings that the worm had spread to 17 countries around the globe. New reports that an underground virus-writing group called 29A had released the Cabir source code pushed the story onto the pages of the mainstream press, prompting anti-virus vendors to roll out plans to combat the threat.
But not everyone is convinced that the risk is high enough to justify the investments. On security discussion forums, there have even been suggestions that research firms are overblowing the threat to create an artificial market for cell phone anti-virus software.
Further reading
"A lot of this is hyped to create a market that doesnt exist," said Neil MacDonald, group vice president and research director at Gartner Inc. "The market will exist eventually because the devices are becoming more powerful, but the threat today is minimal and overblown."
Gregg Mastoras, senior security analyst at Mass.-based Sophos Inc., echoed MacDonalds thinking. "Were not trying to be prognosticators and say mobile viruses will never be a big threat. But right now, it isnt and shouldnt be something an enterprise administrator should worry about. The level of the threat does not warrant all the headlines," Mastoras said in an interview with eWEEK.com.
Sophos has no immediate plans to create—or market—anti-virus software for cell phones, but rival companies insist that there is a legitimate market to be served.
One such company is Kaspersky Lab, the well-known Russian anti-virus company that recently opened shop in the United States. "Malware for smart phones is now evolving, and seems likely to become a growing threat as smart phones gain popularity," the company said in a statement announcing the launch of a beta anti-virus product for Symbian-powered cell phones.
Kasperskys beta is likely to evolve into a paid product, much like F-Secure Corp.s Mobile Anti-Virus software that promises "real-time on-device protection with automatic, over-the-air antivirus updates."
Symantec Corp., Trend Micro Inc. and McAfee Inc. also have invested in mobile anti-virus products.
Next Page: "Our philosophy is to be prepared," says the leader of Kasperkys U.S. unit.

MOSCOW — Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin made a cameo appearance Friday in the tragicomedy that has been playing at the famed Bolshoi Theater: He fired the unpopular general director to the cheers of disgruntled performers.
But the latest scene of a drama that has transformed Moscow's premier artistic venue into a theater of the absurd was not expected to soothe the frayed egos of the dancers and musicians for long.
A presidential edict dismissed general director Vladimir Kokonin "in connection with his transfer to another job," the Itar-TASS news agency reported.
But a leading theater critic and sources within the Bolshoi management said Kokonin's new position would be as executive director of the theater--a mostly cosmetic revision of the post from which he was fired.
