March, 2018. We have been advised that the 80 items sent before Christmas have arrived at Ryder-Cheshire Foundation's Klibur Domin. Of this shipment 40 were made by the Helping Hand Quilters of Deception Bay, Queensland and consisted of 18 patchwork quilts and the rest were Polar Fleece blankets and bunny rugs. The other 40 were from Victoria and NSW. This was an amazing effort and many thanks to all concerned. Some of these will be distributed to hospital patients and the rest will be distributed through outreach workers who visit patients in their own villages.
January, 17, Word of thanks has come from Klibur Domin, the quilts have arrived and the residents and patients have them on their beds. They wish to thank all those people who have contributed and let them know how happy they are to receive the quilts.
October,16. Another 30 Quilts are on their way to Klibur Domin and should arrive just before Christmas. We delivered them to the Rotary container last weekend and they left last Tuesday. Many thanks to all the ladies who made the quilts. They will be cherished by their recipients in Timor Leste.
January 2016. Updating Charity Quilts. This project is on-going and this year we are expanding to include the Ryder Cheshire Home, Klibur Domin at Tibar, Timor Leste. This home has been in operation since 2000 and it cares for frail aged and people undergoing treatment for serious illness and is located near Dili. Klibur Domin conducts outreach services testing and treating people who have TB. They also have an outreach service for disabled people and are doing amazing work. For more information on the work of Ryder-Cheshire go to their website at www.ryder-cheshire.com The quilts required are roughly 48 x 60 inches. Weighing about 1 Kg finished quilted and bound. Light weight wadding such as Hobbs fusible cotton, bamboo or poly without bulk is what is needed. I can help out with fabric or wadding if you have the time to make a quilt. Although Timor Leste has come a long way since independence most people are living on less than $1 a day and poverty, illness and disability are commonplace. Your help will be greatly appreciated. It gets quite cool at night and the gift of a quilt will not only keep someone warm and comfortable but in the spirit of Ryder-Cheshire, help to relieve the suffering. For more information or to contact me see my home page. Thank you, Carole McLennan.
February,2016. Thank you to Wendy and the team at the Specialist Medical Clinic at LRH for donating the blood pressure testing equipment, bandages etc. Thank you to everyone who has sent me crutches. You'll be pleased to know these have been gratefully received by the president of Ryder Cheshire in Melbourne, Peter Newton and will be sent to Klibur Domin, Tibar home near Dili, Timor Leste. Gifts of this nature are helping relieve the suffering of sick and underprivileged people in Timor Leste.
July,2015 another 29 quilts were delivered to disabled and underprivileged youngsters in Timor Leste thanks to generous ladies who gave their time and materials for these very deserving recipients. We took crutches for the youths at Ahisaun Disability Centre in Dili and heaps of school bags and supplies to the primary school children at Malimea. They gave us a very warm welcome in English which was a lovely surprise. It was a very successful trip, met some great people and it was sad to say goodbye.
We are going to Timor Leste again in July, 2015. Enquiries welcome. Generous people are making more quilts to take with us for disabled and disadvantaged children there.
Well over 130 quilts have been delivered to East Timor and more are required as Ahisaun Disability Training Centre has new houses at Railaco and Hatolia.
At the end August 2014 Tony, Melanie and I travelled to Timor Leste and had a fantastic time. As the plane touched down an enormous pod of dolphins seemed to welcome us. We travelled up and down mountains and saw wonderful sights and met great people doing amazing things. For six days we had a driver and 4 wheel drive. Our first stop was at Ahisaun Disability Training Centre in Dili where we handed over another 15 quilts. We met Padre Adriano and some of the staff and young people living there. I gave them my old crutches as I don't need them anymore. Two young boys were using bamboo poles to get around and they were delighted with the crutches and took one each. We then travelled to Gleno to the Hope Orphanage and gave them 15 quilts. On up the mountains to Atsabe where we unfortunately missed seeing Natalia but stayed at her brother's house overnight. Google maps said the trip from Dili to Atsabe is 43 minutes but that must be by helicopter. It took us 7 hours as the roads are very rocky but we took in the sights and had smiles on our faces as everyone says Bondia (good morning) or Botadi (good afternoon) through the car window and some even shout it to you from their houses. Timorese people are warm and friendly. It was cold overnight so no question the quilts are needed. Maria cooked us a meal and a teacher friend of Melanie, Manuel came to visit us.
Next morning we went to Manuel's village and met his family and the ladies weaving tais. Manuel is now the principal of the government secondary school in his village and his wife served us coffee in his home. We then travelled on to Maliana, a very large town where there was still evidence of much destruction by the Militia and we saw sites important to the vote for independence. We were there for the annual formal independence consultation celebration day. Overnight we stayed at a lovely new hostel and the next day travelled on to Balibo and saw the flag house which has been restored to a museum.
After reflecting at Balibo we went on to Betugade on the coast, the border with Indonesian West Timor. Then along the coast road back towards Dili where we saw men extracting sea salt on a coastal estuary and had lunch at an old Portuguese fort. The next day we travelled to Baucau, a very large Portuguese built town on the coast. Back in Dili we went to the Alola Foundation and bought up big, beautiful bags made from tais and gifts to bring home. Alola Foundation was set up by Kirsty Sword-Gusmao to give support to girls and women in Timor Leste. We spoke again to people at Ahisaun about what their needs are at present. I will send them crutches and quilts with travelers from Australia. If you would like me to come and speak to your group about my interest in Timor Leste please get in touch with me through the contact-us button on this website. Carole.

In June 2014 another 10 quilts were delivered by Audrey and the group travelling with Friends of Ermera.
(September 2013) Lindsey and Richard travelled to Timor Leste and graciously carried 18 quilts in their luggage. Ten were given to Sister Lilli at Hatubilicko for the Ahisaun Disability Foundation house up there in the mountains. It gets pretty cold up there so the young people will enjoy the colourful warmth of the quilts. Lindsey and Richard arrived there late in the day and so Sister Lilli accepted them on behalf of the Foundation. Here she is looking at the quilts. Richard is carrying a bag of quilts down a rocky path and outside Sister Lilli's home with the driver and guide. Eight quilts were left in Dili with Eco Tours owner, who has very graciously agreed to deliver them Natalia at the Women's collective guest house at Atsabe as soon as he is going that way. Many thanks to these kind people for being part of the Quilts for East Timor Effort.
This is due to the kindness and hard work of many quilters. Many, Many thanks for your efforts.
(July,2013.) Natalia has given me her national dress and I am overcome with emotion knowing it was very precious to her. She was referred to by Jose Ramos Horta as his hero in a talk he gave to Friends of Ermera to celebrate 10 years of Timor Leste Independence earlier this year. Natalia gets up early and walks a long distance on mountain tracks to cook breakfast at the women's collective guest house. She then walks all the way back and teaches school for the rest of the day then goes home and looks after her family and foster children. She set up the women's collective and the guest house to offer hospitality to travellers and employment for the local women. The women's collective will be receiving some lovely bright quilts this year so they can offer a bit more comfort to travellers.
(July, 2013.) Over the past 12 months Quilts for East Timor has been my main charity quilt focus. After learning about the great work going on at the Ahisaun Disability Centre in Dili (see below.) I thought it would be great to send the young people living there a big hug (quilt) from Australia to let them know we care and to give them something special of their very own. I put the word out through my newsletter and Country Threads Magazine ran an article about it in March. Quilts came in from all over Australia and are still arriving.
Recently 37 quilts were delivered to the young people at Ahisaun Dili. Over 100 quilts were donated, some finished quilts ready to go, some needed to be quilted and some needed to be finished. Three more charities have been added to the list to receive quilts as well as the extra 13 quilts for those living at the new Ahisaun house at Hatabilico. Many, many thanks to all the generous quilters who supported me in this effort. With your help it will continue into the future as a gesture of friendship and love for the people of East Timor in the struggle to overcome disability and poverty as they build a new nation. Special thanks to Paulene Cook and Margaret Dixon for their amazing work and support. A big thank you to the tour group from St Paul's Grammar who took the 37 quilts with them to Dili earlier this month. Here's some photos of Melanie handing over the quilts. It was smiles all round.
If you would like to make a quilt for this project please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com and I will let you know approximate measurements and materials required. I am unable to finish uncompleted quilts so please don't send tops. The finished quilt needs to weigh only 1 Kg.
The Ahisaun Disability Foundation Timor Leste is providing hope and a future to people with disabilities. (2012.)

Most Australians should be aware of the situation in East Timor and if you need an update visit Caritas for a few facts and figures on the current needs and wonderful work on the ground there at the moment. http://www.caritas.org.au/learn/countries/east-timor
I am looking for donations of single bed quilts with light weight wadding, poly or cotton poly. Poverty is a way of life for most people in East Timor and especially difficult if you have a disability. The quilts will be a "big hug" to let them know someone here in our affluent society cares about them and encourages them.
Quilts for East Timor is currently underway and hopes to provide 50 single bed quilts for young disabled people living and studying or gaining work skills at the Ahisaun Disability Foundation. 37 are required for the Dili house and another 13 for a newly opened centre at Hatubilco in the mountains. I am aiming to have these by the southern winter, June 2013.
You may telephone me if you have any questions or better still email email@example.com

In this episode, I talk about early morning rituals and how they can set you up to be more productive, more successful, and more healthy. They might even enable you to make more money!
According to a 2007 poll conducted by Gallup:
- 55 percent of U.S. adults consider themselves "morning people."
- 15 percent consider themselves "afternoon people."
- 20 percent consider themselves "evening people."
- 6 percent consider themselves "late night people."
Click to Listen
Subscribe to Podcast in iTunesInterestingly, "Morning people" tend to:
- Make more money.
- Be more productive.
- Be healthier and live longer.
- Be happier and more satisfied in their lives.
The good news is that if you aren't a morning person, you can become one. (See, for example, "10 Benefits of Rising Early and How to Do It.")
But what about the "ritual" part of the equation? If you are like some people, the word ritual may have a negative connotation.
If you look it up on Dictionary.com, the first definition is this: "an established or prescribed procedure for a religious or other rite."
The problem is that we typically think of it in a religious sense. I am not using it in this sense, though for me, even there, it has a positive connotation.
I define ritual as "a prescribed procedure for achieving a specific result." In other words, it's kind of like a recipe.
For example, as a golfer, I have a ritual for hitting drives that are long and straight (most of the time). Does my ritual always produce the intended result? No. But it increases the probability of achieving the intended result.
An early morning ritual can do the same thing for your productivity and the effectiveness. It won't guarantee your results, but it will set you up for the possibility of success.
By the way, the truth is that you ALREADY have a ritual. Rituals are inescapable. The only question is whether or not you are intentional about your early morning ritual and whether or not your ritual is producing the results you want in your life.
Anyone can design a more effective early morning ritual by following these seven steps.
- Acknowledge that you already have a ritual.
- Document your existing ritual.
- Evaluate whether or not it is producing the results you want.
- Determine the results you want (and don't want).
- Reengineer your current ritual.
- Implement your ritual.
- Tweak your ritual as necessary.
Reengineering your morning ritual can be a simple way to become more productive and set yourself up for success.
Listener Questions
- Andrew Mason asked, "What do you do when your morning gets derailed?"
- Hank Osborne asked, "What if you are a night owl?"
- Leslie Samuel asked, "How do I keep from getting side-tracked by e-mail first thing in the morning?"
- Matt McWilliams asked, "How do you adjust your routine when you travel?"
- Tor Constantino asked, "What do you need to do the night before?"
- Travis Dommert asked, "How have you maintained your early morning rituals?"

Hi -- I'm looking to get back into Tennis after a couple of years without playing. I've never played competitively, but have played off and on casually. I live in Providence with my wife and my cat and work at a university.
Free tonight? Need a couple more for doubles.

Your Creator Wants You Whole
In the United States half of the adults have a chronic disease. That's 117 million people. One in four adults have two or more diseases. Chronic disease accounts for seven out of ten deaths in America. These statistics include people that love God and believe He provides healing: physically, mentally and emotionally. These stats are both sobering and troublesome to me.
I grew up in a church that taught it was never God's purpose or will for humanity to be diseased. I knew all the scriptures that said healing was part of what Jesus came to bring in His death, burial and resurrection. Knowing God's word on healing and even believing it wasn't helping me out in my chronic allergic state. There had to be something more.
Out of this search for answers was birthed a class we now offer called Course 1 by Get Whole. We take a weekend and teach through 20 lessons in just over twenty hours. Over one thousand people have come through in the last couple years and we've seen great success.
In this series we will introduce some class highlights.
- God doesn't break us up into spirit, soul and body as if He cared about one more than the other.
- He cares about our body just as much as our spirits. He cares about our soul as well.
- You were created in His image and He never took that back even after the fall of man.
- Who's at fault for our sickness? Is it God? the enemy? or could someone else be involved?
- What did Jesus teach while He walked the earth? Why were so many healed and set free?
Above is the video for part one of this series and below is the audio and part two.

I will get better at updating this - for myself at the very least! I'm back with another Sunday Scoop. I wish I had time to update on other things. I only have 2 1/2 more months of grad school, so at the very least, I hope to be back in January with regular updates!
Anywho - here's what's up with me this weekend.
Clearly, I have too much to do. It was a rough week last week, so I'm doing a little catch up. Luckily, I have some fantastic TV premieres tonight to motivate me to get everything done quickly. I almost put Once Upon A Time down in my MUST do because no matter what time I get everything else done, I will watch that show before I go to bed!
How's your fall lineup looking? Are you so thankful like I am that TV shows are back on?
Until next time!

I've done a fairly bit more these last 2 days.
This is the foot part. I have to say that it feels much stable than the gundam ones.
Some decorations I guess... luckily I bought a heat gun to dry the gold part quickly.
These little bits were such a pain in the arse to panel line.
Here's the to-be-assembled and assembled legs. Looks really nice even in RL. :)
And here are both feet/legs standing. Can't wait for it to finish.
Well, I stopped using my sis' DSLR again as I find using my Arc somewhat better with the correct exposure settings.
I've done the head and the body part already but will post that some other time... hopefully in a few days instead of after 15 days.

* IN GAME ONE, Matts gave up only three earned runs in four innings of work. Vincil worked the final two innings, giving up only two runs in earning the save.
Junior catcher Kyle Myers was the big hitter in the game, going 3-4 and knocking in three runs. Senior Dave Wiggins went 2-3 with an RBI, while Jason Proctor and Brandon Nowak each had two RBIs.
* IN GAME TWO, Raymond pitched a beauty. The talented junior gave up only three earned runs, while striking out six and walking none.
A lot of players had hits in the second game, but the big blow came in the fifth with the score tied 5-5. Wiggins came to the plate with two outs and delivered a clutch base hit, knocking in the eventual game-winning run.

What you wearing J's or Adidas? What kind of shirt is that? Is that fake or real? How come I never seen that before? Sounds like a typical conversation I'd hear from time to time between various pods of black students on campus, and sometimes my friends. We as African Americans, but black men in particular, are obsessed with the latest and greatest threads. It's not necessarily a bad thing, after all we came from greatness and our ancestors were pharaohs, kings and queens. So it makes since we'd be obsessed with the lavish things, but the way we do it today is an unhealthy habit that can make or break us alone. Plain and simple, we are obsessed with fashion, what are you wearing? So when we see our favorite artist (who would just so happen to have billions of other fans) wearing something we want and can afford or acquire it, then the story is already set in motion. Even if that means going as far wearing a crop top because we saw Kid Cudi wear one at Coachella or Lil Wayne wear jeggings (yes, actual jeggings) at the VMA's, some people (black men included) are just so inclined to look exactly like their idol and can't refuse the chance to even if it means dressing like a female in the process. This is how they hook the black man, if a big star like that is doing it then why can't I? Boom, he's hooked and thus staring a cycle of de masculizing the black male.

A few days ago, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4, it's new Android flagship. We've had a few rumors and leaks, and this time most of them were right. Actually, the exact design of the S4 was leaked the day of the announcement.
The Galaxy S4 looks a lot like the S3 and the Note 2, it has a 5″ Super AMOLED full HD screen but is the same size has the S3, which is nice. The sides of the device are a bit more straight than what Samsung did with the S3 and it's really rounded shape, which was supposed to feel more "human".
Here's our video hands-on of the Galaxy S4 that we discovered at Unpacked 2013 in NYC on the 14th of march.

On December 31st, I decided that I wanted to get back on my Rebif injections. I have been off since March-April, as Jason and I tried to get pregnant. So with all other elements of the story aside, I want to strip this post down to the morons at the MS Clinic.
The Clinic left a message for me on December 31st, in response to my message that I was wanting to start my injections on January 1. I wasn't able to start back on my regular dosage amount and schedule. I would need to provide baseline blood work, and inject on a titration schedule.
Okay. No problem. The requisition for blood work was in the mail, as well as the request for the annual Exceptional Drug Status with the Provincial Government.
Let's skip along...
By Monday January 11, I hadn't received my requisition, but I had received confirmation from the government that they would accept my drug costs. I'm anxious to get started - I don't want to change my mind. So I left another message with the Clinic, including the option of using the test results from blood work that I had done at the hospital on December 14 - it would include everything they needed.
I was assured in the responding voice mail that my requisition is in the mail...
I could get my blood work done at the hospital as results would be faster than if I went to a clinic.
Roll ahead to Thursday, I'm at the hospital for another procedure, and decide to stop in at the MS Clinic and pick up a requisition so that I could stroll over to the hospital lab.
But would they give me the paper - NO!
Either the requisition is in the mail...or they have called up my chart. I could take my pick of excuses, as both were offered.
I know it's in the mail...it has been in the mail since the end of December! I'm here now! I have a stack of requisitions at home but they have the wrong phone number and fax number since the Clinic moved. I wasn't asking to see the doctor. I wasn't asking for anything pertaining to CCSVI.
I came out in the cold and poor sidewalk conditions!
I had forgotten how unhelpful, impersonal, and controlling the Clinic could be.

It's so shocking and sad to hear that a place where you would expect advocacy, support and understanding above and beyond the call of duty grants you the exact opposite.

Hello everybody! I am new here, 28, female... Beginning of day 4 for me too! Not easy! I smoked for 12 years, never tried to quit before, but now that I have 2 weeks all for myself I decided to do something productive for me! Because quiting smoking is all about yourself and doing something for yourself!! Isn't?!
It's amazing... wow... in only 3 days my body and my mind went to so many changes!! It is like a journey, for real!! Craves, anger:mad:, obsesion, tears, "quiting" quiting smoking, blaming everybody else, sweating, exhaustion, even shaking to some degree, sleep so well, then not sleep at all, feeling so weird in general, like I am not my own self...!:confused: But then... the feeling of accomplishment after I past each crave, the smell (that's a journey it self as well), the taste, worm feet! And let's face it, these are about all the benefits for now!! And craves AGAIN!!:eek: But it will only get better!! And better! After all it's only day 4!!
Quiting smoking is smart! It's a life experience! It will make us stronger, more patient, we'll feel, taste, smell, experience the world again without nicotine this time! It's like a new beginning that we am offering to ourselfs, if we are strong enough for just a few minutes a day, every day! And we will always have the advantage of knowing and understanding the "before" and "after"! Smoking was just a phase in my life, I had ENOUGH!, time to moove on! Quiting is even trendy!:cool:
All these thoughts help me go on! I thought I should share!
I've been awake for 2 hours, no smoking! That's all it matters for now, right?!
Let's keep it strong!

This tutorial will help you design and analyze a sensory discrimination triangle test in Excel using the XLSTAT statistical software.
Included in
Dataset for running a discrimination triangle test in sensory analysis
An Excel sheet with both the data and the results can be downloaded by clicking on the button below:
Download the data
A brewer wishes to commercialize a new beer and would like to know if consumers will be able to differentiate the new product from a beer of its own line of products.
To test the hypothesis that both beers are similar, he wishes to use a triangle test.
Goal of the triangle test
The goal of this analysis is to first generate a design of experiments to taste the beers, then to analyse the result in order to know if the two products are well discriminated.
In the triangle test, three samples are presented to each assessor in different orders. Within these samples, two are similar and the third one is different. Assessors have to identify the sample that is different from the others.
Setting up a design for a triangle test
Once XLSTAT is activated, select the XLSTAT-Sensory data analysis / Design for sensory discrimination test command (see below), or click the corresponding button of the XLSTAT-Sensory data analysis toolbar.
Once you have clicked on the button, the dialog box appears. Select the triangle test, the number of judges ins 20 in that study. You can also select the name of the products (in our case beer 1 / beer 2).
After you have clicked on the OK button, the computations start and the results are displayed on a new Excel sheet.
Running the triangle test
The obtained table allows you to prepare your test with your 20 assessors. Each judge taste 3 samples in the designated order. If the judge recognizes the product that is alone, then the last column should be completed with a specific value (we use + in our case), if the judge does not identify the good sample then a specific value is also added in the last column of the table (in our case, we use -). These values can be any value depending on the user choice.
Once the table is completed, you can analyze the obtained tasting results.
Setting up a triangle test
Select the XLSTAT-Sensory data analysis / Sensory discrimination test command (see below), or click the corresponding button of the XLSTAT-Sensory data analysis toolbar.
Once you have clicked on the button, the dialog box appears. Select the triangle test, the Thurstonian model will be used. We select the last column of the design in the corresponding box and add + as code for correct. Other data input can be used as the number of correct answers or the proportion of correct answers.
We wish to estimate both d' and probability of discrimination so we choose the estimate option and use an exact binomial distribution. For more details on these concepts please check the help of XLSTAT.
After you have clicked on the OK button, the computations start and the results are displayed on a new Excel sheet.
Interpretation of a triangle test
The first table summarizes the selected options.
Then the test results and interpretation are given. In our case with a p-value smaller than 0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis that d' is equal to zero. That means each beer is not coming from the same normal distribution. We can thus reject the hypothesis that beers are similar. Furthermore, the power of our test is very high which allows us to conclude that our test is robust enough.
The next table gives the parameter estimate including the d'. We can see that all parameters are significantly greater than 0. The d' is almost equal to 3 which is very high meaning there exist a large difference between the two beers (three standard error).
The conclusion of that test is that consumers discriminate the new beer from the older one well. The brewer can assume that this new product will be well identified by consumers.

If you read this article, it's easy to presume that you've come here of passion in the largest information in the monetary world in recent times – cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin Let's see what's up and why are they are generating so much talk. Not just in socials media as well as online forums, but also in central banks, boards as well as federal governments in numerous nations around the world.
The term "cryptocurrency" is merely a virtual currency protected by encryption. Cryptocurrency is a rapid and dependable payment as well as money transfer system based on cutting edge innovation and also is not controlled by any type of federal government.
Words "Bitcoin" is formed "bit"- the tiniest device for information and "coin" – the coin.
One of the most common acronym for Bitcoin is the BTC.
Does Litecoin work in Albion?
This is the very first and most well-known cryptocurrency icon and also a flagship for the crypto globe, in addition to the financial tool used in the system.
Exactly what is the most essential attribute of Bitcoin from the perspective of the economy? This is a digital item with restricted supply, the algorithm is made to make sure that the system can not exceed 21 million devices, additionally called "bitcoin". Schedule of developing, or "mining" these coins, is identified by the program and also recognized ahead of time. After you have actually created the last of the coins, there will be no more. The Bitcoin economy is based upon a deflation model, which increases worry amongst several financial experts.
In fact, this relatively handful of coins is sufficient for daily estimations, considering that the 1 bitcoin is divided right into 100,000,000 pieces, called "Satoshi", to honor the Creator of the system. Occasionally the term "millimetron" (mBTC, one thousandths) as well as "microbial" (uBTC, one millionths) is used.
Arrange for creating Bitcoin.
Bitcoin began with a principle file, published on October 31, 2008, a mystical individual functioning under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. This day is Bitcoin's birthday celebration as well as announced that to the entire world.
Exactly what is the distinction and what does that mean to Albion Oklahoma?
Bitcoin features that distinguish it from various other types of electronic as well as paper-based money:
The Bitcoin network is a combination of all customer programs (budgets) and a distributed database, blockchain, that is kept on each computer where you have actually set up the complete customer. Connecting to the computer system registry is feasible to utilize your own wallet web interface or special solutions for monitoring anywhere in the world without password, and also any other approvals.
• Full transparency in the estimations. The background of settlement as you can (theoretically) trace up until the time of coin generation, and also it will never ever be eliminated from the data source. By feeling in one's bones the address of a Bitcoin at any moment you could locate all transactions that were accepted by this address or sent out with it.
• Free selection of engagement. You can set up the main Bitcoin Core style, which saves the whole deal history. If you do not require independent procedure and also blockchain evaluation, you can instead mount mobile purses, which call for significantly less resources. For optimal safety, there are hardware budgets with additional degrees of security.
• The absence of control over the network. Since blockchain is a distributed data source produced by equivalent nodes, the Bitcoin network has no control facility that can freeze any kind of account, alter the number of money units in the system, or block or terminate the settlement.
• The opportunity of confidential repayments. Bitcoin is a convenient as well as, if desired, anonymous repayment representative system – not in link with its owner and also does not require any activities.
• Network rate. New bitcoins come in circulation as a reward for those who execute calculations called" mining ". Their task is to tape right into a single tool, and also all deals that have actually taken location in the network considering that its launch (on ordinary 10 minutes), as well as "seal" its complex cryptographic signature.
Far, Bitcoin is a decentralized network, which even more than 8 times (speed to compute SHA-256 hash) surpasses the overall computer power of all supercomputers in the globe. In order to catch the still limited control, several substantial resources and costs call for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Cryptocurrency in life – what does it mean in 74521?
Originally bitcoins remained in need simply amongst mathematicians, cryptographers, and people are very enthusiastic concerning computer as well as networking. At that time, bitcoin was a simple proof that it is possible for e-money that has no guaranteed safety and security. Rather, they could be called electronic matching of gold – like gold, bitcoin is difficult to create, it's restricted, as well as the intricacy of production only boosts gradually. In the fall of 2009, you could purchase 1 BTC for $0.00008 USD. The story of supply trading started, which was a whole lot of ups and also downs, personal bankruptcies and effective projects. In the beginning, transactions with bitcoin were unusual as well as bothersome. The initial and also most well-known were to purchase 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC, in May 2010. Ever since, the currency exchange rate has risen and fallen lot of times. Most lately it's been above $ 17,000.
OK Chart of exchange rate on Bitcoin
At an onset of the development of Bitcoin, its popularity has produced a Japanese exchange called Mt Gox, and also an unlawful online marketplace called Silk Road. Currently Bitcoin is not depending on a stock market or pool, as well as illegal tasks in the cryptocurrency police authorities discovered how to combat, along with with other financial criminal offenses.
Today Bitcoin is a modern-day digital currency, which is optimal for estimations on the web. More and more shops approve Bitcoin as a settlement alternative. The simpleness and benefit of opening accounts in bitcoin are drawn in to the digital currency, specifically an increasing number of individuals from establishing nations. In numerous states in Asia as well as Africa, the Bitcoin network difficult and also costly financial services. In industrialized countries, a spread of POS terminals for bitcoin settlements in stores, ATMs for cryptocurrency equipment pocketbooks for Bitcoin. It was a genuine boom of startups to use Bitcoin. It turned out that the modern technology in blockchain is not just ideal for economic computations, however additionally for distributed data storage space of various assets. There are already hundreds of other crypto currencies created by Bitcoin or based upon various other ideas.
A little regarding national politics
Many governments have picked a line of observation with mindful positive outlook, consisting of the USA, Canada, most of the European countries, Britain and Switzerland, and also nations in southeastern Asia. In a lot of industrialized countries financial regulations is adapted to manage cryptocurrency.

While we were getting ready for a day at Gig Harbor, a nice little bay town across the former Galloping Gertie bridge, I decided to use a small window of time to get caught up on painting.
Most of what was required was natural metal, for which I used Alclad's White Aluminum. Now that I've segregated most of the paints which I bought during some of their paint formulation issues a number of years back, Alclad paint is a joy to airbrush. Covers well, doesn't require any thinning, and can be masked when it fully cures. This covered landing gear on three Hurricanes and a P-47. I also had two sets of five-spoke early Hurricane wheels in resin, and included those as well.
Next came a quick job: painting the Black anti-glare panel on the Lightning F2A. The paint tried to be a bit contrary by being too thin, but I got that sorted out without too much difficulty.
The final color was White, being used to patch up some overspray on the prototype Yak-130. Once that cures, I'll be able to start the masking job for the Blue portions of the aircraft.

First here in the lower stomach, then right in the gut here, and then in the solar plexus, here, just below my sternum. Lastly, I'm going to take some liver shots, just here to the right under my rib-cage "I'm going to ask to get punched harder and harder in each area until the punches put me down.

Little did I know the benefits of eating Brown Rice before I bought a bag of brown rice from Bangkok!! Why Bangkok?? u must be thinking!! On one of the lonely evenings of an office trip to Bangkok, I entered a super market just to kill time. I thought of buying a packet of potato chips flavored/seasoned with thai red chilli paste. I was amazed to see the variety of Brown Rice samples, and its wide availability there. Went around to see 7-8 varieties of brown rice. Itchy hand u see... ;) to buy something different, this pack of brown rice got a good seat in my suitcase. hmm..this was a year and half back. This packet of rice was still there in the corner of the cupboard waiting to be cooked and kept teasing me whenever I opened the cupboard.
One fine day I took enough courage to cook brown rice. So I thought of making dosa. umm...safer option ;) Onion uttappam tasted better than plain dosa with brown rice dosa batter. Do give a try ! You will like it.
WHFoods has complete description about brown rice and its nutritional value including its health benefits. Website says " the complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids". I concluded .... -it is time to make brown rice uttappams for breakfast!! Here you go with the recipe
For Dosa Batter :
Wash and soak 3 cups of Rice (2 cups brown rice+1cup white rice):1 cup of urad dal for 5 hrs. You can add fenugreek seeds and chanadal if required. Adding 2 tablsespoons of sago gives crisp dosas. Grind them to smooth batter, add salt and let it ferment for 7-8 hrs or overnight. You can take a smaller cup or bigger cup for measurement depending on the qty you want to make.
Uttappam :
Onions chopped finely from : 5 onions
Green Chillies Paste from : 20 chillies
Coriander Leaves finely chopped
Curry Leaves finely chopped
Mix all the above to dosa batter and make small uttappams. Alternatively, you can make small dosas and spread the onions over dosa. Enjoy hot dosas with chutney and sambhar.
My 5yr old likes to eat it with ghee...:D this was his plate. He wanted me to show his fishy plate to u all... :D

Sorry for the delay in letting you all know that there were no new listings today. I listed everything I had not destined for a show last week.
However this weekend is my last bead show for 2012, so next Wednesday, November 7th will be a big listing day especially for glass.
I still wanted to give you a treat this week so if you have been following my facebook or my Introduction in my etsy store you already know....
There is 15% off everything in the Gardannebeads shop starting today and will continue for a full 10 days!!!
I have extended the sale for 10 days because it just would be mean to add new beads to the shop next Wednesday and then stop the sale.
So before you check out of etsy make sure you add the coupon code
and 15% will automatically be deducted from your order.
You still get free shipping for all orders over $50, but you cannot combine this coupon with any existing coupons you may have.
We survived Hurricane Sandy with minimal damage, it is amazing how huge the storm was. I kept thinking it was not going to impact us until it was almost nothing today, then I realized that the the storm was over 900 miles wide. So on Monday we had 40 mph winds with gusts up to 60+ mph plus a couple inches of rain. Our home backs up to a wooded area so we did have a top of a tree bounce off the roof and land on the deck, but nothing major. It is amazing how powerful those winds are the tree was a foot wide at the top and it traveled quite far before it landed.
So our plans to visit Fredonia State on Lake Erie were put on hold and the teen had a day off of school since our county was in a state of emergency. I am sure they had to evacuate folks on Lake Ontario, the waves were 20 feet. It's times like this when I realize how huge those Great Lakes are and they do behave like an ocean during bad weather.
Charlotte Beach, Rochester, NY
Enough tricks mother nature, back to treats and enjoy the sale.

Heathfield & Co is a ready-to-order lighting store that's aiming to make designs which make up the focal point of a room, instead of just a backdrop. The company's latest designs range from whimsical cloud-like illuminators to more shapely, triangular looks.
The company's overall goal is to challenge the way that consumers see lights. Many people think of these fixtures as an afterthought, like an item that completes a space rather than makes it. Heathfield & Co is not satisfied with this outlook, which is why the team is pushing to make distinct designs that will draw in onlookers rather than having people simply appreciate the fact that it's not dark in a room. Hopefully these installations will have this desired effect, and make people want to pay more attention to lighting. Photo Credits: designboom, heathfield

Damian was previously arrested during a buy-bust operation on Feb. 15, 2013. He was, however, acquitted on August 27, 2015 due to inconsistencies in the testimony of the witness against him. Despite his acquittal, Damian continued to ply his illegal drug trade, a police report said.
Damian's apprehension brings to 11 the number of members of local drug groups arrested by PDEA-CAR this year.
He is now detained at the PDEA-CAR regional office pending filing of violation of Republic Act No. 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 before the court.

Two Toe Tuesday: One of These Socks is Not Like the Others
So what about these socks? Two are a little alike, because they are they are both knit from Shelridge Farm's soft touch heather, and both are knit from ribbed Nancy Bush patterns. However, the Yarrow rib, in green, is gi-normous, being knit for a man. And the Spey Valley socks, in purple, are a few sizes smaller than my feet, being knit for a woman with smaller feet than mine. I love both of these socks, and need to get cracking on sock #2 of Spey Valley. Sock #2 of the Yarrow rib is just about ready for a heel, so I should power through that as well.
The third sock has not made an official blog appearance yet, although I started it in July. It's still on the needles, because I wanted to make sure that I end up with socks that are the same height and use as much yarn as possible. The yarn is Yarntini self-striping sport, in Blue Hawaiian. It's great yarn (I've used the semi-solid before, and love it), with great colors, but I don't like this sock. The heel is a standard short-row heel, and I hate it. I think that it has to do with the weight of yarn more than anything else--even though I picked up the wraps, the turns look messy and I don't like the way the heel interrupts the stripes. This is why it took so long to get to the heel--I was thinking about using a heel flap pattern, but I have less experience with those. And I really needed to get past the heel, so I would have a nice plain sock to knit at the movied. Bad reason to rush through, and I'll probably just rip it out. The stripes would make a really cute hat, wouldn't they?
Hope that everyone's holiday preparations (such as they are) are coming along well. I'm hoping to get my knitting / blogging mojo back in the coming weeks, and I keep seeing projects that I'd love to take a crack at once I've finished up some other things (but keep me in mind if you have any recommendations).

Stories From the City
I went to New York a few weekends ago, and I only took photos of two things on my camera.
Top Photo: Paparazzi taking photos of Katie Holmes & her daughter through the window of a restaurant they went into. It was horrifying--this was taken after much of the crowd thinned.
Bottom Photo: a store that knows better than to oversell itself.
I didn't take any photos on my camera of the great rock show E___, R___ and I attended (Langhorne Slim--highly, highly recommended), but should get some from E___ soon. I didn't take any photos of the long bus ride from Boston to New York, or of the walk from the World Trade Center to Soho to the Village, or lunch with M___ and J___, or the delicious skewers at the Miracle of Science. I was really just too busy cramming as much good time as possible into three days on the east coast, and I think I succeeded.
On the flight to the east coast, I did start a new project:
Spiraluscious by Anne Hanson, and the yarn is Skinny Bugga from the Sanguine Gryphon that I purchased almost accidentally at the Loopy Ewe. I was on the site totally by chance when the yarn was posted, and before I knew it I had ordered this skein. I've been trying to buy less "stash" lately, because I keep coming across yarn that I bought without a plan and am wondering how I'm ever going to get through it all without turning knitting into a chore. However, I am really pleased with this yarn. The color is a really beautiful, rich semi-solid, and the little bit of cashmere in it has made it a pleasure to knit with. This neckwarmer should only take about 1/3 of the skein, so there will be enough left for more neckwarmers, or maybe mittens. Or maybe I'll just pass along the leftovers to another knitter? I suppose I should wait to see how this turn out!

Reasons My Co-Worker is Going to Get It. And By IT, I Mean Something Bad.

Oh, co workers. Just came from a meeting. The worst kind? The kind that pretend you can trust them, so they divulge something to you, you say, "this is fun! stuff of my chest!" so you divulge back and BAM!
Next thing you know, your boss wants to "see you."

I sit far too near to a woman who CONSTANTLY clears her throat. Like every 2 minutes. And not a polite *ahem*, but a violent, rattling, near-yell throat unclogging. We've offered cough drops as a subtle, kind hint, but she declines. This has been going on for YEARS. I think I'm developing a twitch.

i once worked with a woman who was exceedingly interested in broadcasting her entire course of gynecological treatments via speakerphone conversations with her doctors. that. was. HIDEOUS. and because she was dating the managing partner of our practice group, well, no one could say anything to her. sigh...

Empress - Ooooh, how do they have time for that kind of malice? I don't get it.
Crystal - That. sucks. Wow. I would probably lose it one day and just start screaming and stuffing Ricola down her throat.
Magnolia - OMFG. Are you kidding me? Because there is no way that is not disgusting.

i work with a chick who adopts this gravelly voice that she clearly thinks sounds sexy (you know, the whiskey soaked tone) whenever she makes a phone call. it makes my throat hurt just to listen to her. i want to tie her down and force feed her cough drops. she also overly abuses the words "seriously" and "like". i want to tell her boyfriend to buy her a dictionary for christmas.

I work with a woman who takes it as a personal affront if the printer/copier runs out of paper while she's using it. She huffs and puffs and makes sure the rest of us know SHE just added paper.

RMb, gah. There's nothing worse than a fake sexy voice. Except, like, overusing, like, seriously. Or like.
Nikki - jesus, that is beyond obnoxious.

Fortunately I don't have any complaints about my (only) co-worker, because she's a dear friend but, oy, can we talk about my boss? Aside from the usual boss atrocities (standing around for twenty minutes complaining about how busy she is, sighing like a martyr every time she's asked to do her job, taking double her allocation of vacation days, etc. -- what's up? do they teach this behavior in boss school?!), she has one quirk in particular that gets my goat:
All day long she blasts an internet radio station that I like to think of as "Wedding You Don't Want To Go To 94.5," that plays the same twenty-five popular-six-months-ago anthems on perma-loop all day. Not only does she feel the need to blast it to us, but before she leaves her office to go to lunch, she locks her screen with the music still blasting so we can't even be free of it while she's gone.
Oh god. I can't even keep typing about this. My twitch is coming back.

A few things that irk me at work:
- 1pm meetings
- I hear Crystal on the coughing thing. We have one of those
- I had 5 new frozen lunch meals thrown out when someone decided to clean out the fridge and not inform people via email. Instead they left a handwritten note on the fridge the day before. I was out that day... and those things aren't cheap!
- Lastly, on a weird note: Someone left 3 bottles of curl styling gel in the Womens restroom...guess in case that bounce in your curls starts to slip mid-day????

I used to work for this guy who would grab the paper and head to the bathroom for like an hour! Then he'd put the damn paper on MY desk on his way back to his own! Yuck! Poop Paper! He was an ass. He was also a hypochondriac so I used to pretend I was deadly ill all the time and cough on his stuff.

Cambridge, Mass. (December 5) – MIT women's soccer sophomore Emily Berzolla (Riverside, Conn.) and juniors Lily Mueller (Lakeville, Minn.) and Hailey Nichols (Boulder, Colo.) have all been named as Academic All-Americans by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for their hard work both on the field and in the classroom. Berzolla and Mueller were named to the First Team, while Nichols was named to the Second Team.
The trio of Engineers are the seventh, eighth and ninth CoSIDA Academic All-America selections in program history for the MIT women's soccer team and all three have earned the honor for the first time in their careers. MIT is the all-time Division III leader in producing Academic All-Americas (275) and ranks second across all NCAA Divisions only behind the University of Nebraska.
Berzolla, a mechanical engineering major with a perfect GPA, had a great sophomore campaign as she finished the year ranked fifth in all of Division III women's soccer with 16 assists. The mark also tied the program record with Rebecca Hill '94 and Amy Ludlum '07. Berzolla added seven goals to her 16 assists for 30 points this fall as she was joined by Olivia Struckman (Scottsdale, Ariz.) as the first student-athletes to record 30+ points in a single year since Alisha Lussiez '12. Berzolla is also a two-sport athlete, who also competes for the MIT women's lacrosse team. Off the field, the sophomore is a Teaching Assistant in MIT Physics 1, is the Head of Athletic Promotion for the MIT SAAC and is a Tutor at Greenwich SES, helping students with material in courses ranging from biology to calculus as well as SAT/ACT prep.
Nichols, who was also named as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Defensive Athlete of the Year, aided the Engineers to nine shutouts and a goals against average of 0.90 as a key member of the MIT defense. Nichols, an aerospace engineering major, led MIT to a 0.90 goals against average, which ranked third in the NEWMAC this fall and offensively contributed five goals and three assists for 13 points, which ranked seventh on the team. Off the field, Nichols is currently doing research at the MIT Institute of Soldier Nanotechnologies and has worked as a Systems Engineering Intern at Lockheed Martin and a Research and Lab Assistant at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is also a Tutor for Unified, where she aids sophomore MIT students in understanding the concepts and real-world applications of Signals and Systems Engineering.
Mueller, in her first year as the starting goalkeeper for the Engineers posted a record of 19-2-1, to go along with six shutouts, a goals against average of 0.86, a save percentage of 0.782 and 61 saves in 1778 minutes of action. A mechanical engineering major, her 19 wins are the most for a goalkeeper in a single season in program history. Off the field, the junior is currently a Women in Science and Engineers (WiSE) Mentor and has been a Mechanical Engineering Research and Development Intern at Integer-Greatbatch Medical. She has also served as the Wellness Committee Chair for Maseeh Hall, has competed in the MIT 2.007 Robot Competition and a Chemical Engineering Intern at HOBO, Inc.
The trio led the nationally-ranked Engineers to their best season in program history as MIT finished 2017 with a record of 20-2-1, earned its first NEWMAC Championship title since 2011 and reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012. Berzolla, Nichols and Mueller also helped the Engineers break seven team records including win percentage (.891), most wins (20), longest win streak (12), most wins to start a season (12), goals (77), assists (62) and points (216) and aided MIT rank in the top-10 nationally in total assists, total goals, total points, win percentage, and shots on goal per game.
CoSIDA, which began its recognition of NCAA scholar athletes in the 1950's, has honored thousands of deserving recipients across all divisions in numerous sports. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a 4.00 scale, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his/her institution and be nominated by his/her Sports Information Director.
For the latest on MIT Athletics, follow the Engineers via social media on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

It's an ironic and cruel truth that in summer, the time we need shapewear most, it's too hot to even consider wearing it!
At least until now.
Ladies, I'm here to give you some of the coolest warm weather ways to keep that muffin top inside the oven.
First, witness Spanx Skinny Britches (BlissWorld.com, $42). These feather-weight shorts are so sheer, the manufacturers promise you'll feel like you're going commando! Also, they can be layered. One slims, two shape, three totally transform. (THREE Spanx at once?! Um. No.)
And I've got plenty more options to help keep you looking slim this summer ...
One of my favorite ways to reduce layers in the summer is to wear shapewear that doubles as clothing. I have this Yummie Tummie Hip-Length Shapewear Tank (Dillards, $62) and wear it all the time, just like I used to wear normal black camis in the summer.
I love the idea of this Flexee Chemise, Weightless Power (Macy's, $36) to wear under summer dresses. I also love the price!
These Assets by Sara Blakely "Fantastic Firmers" (Dillards, $26) will let you still show some serious leg this summer. The high leg works even under shorts.
This Miracle Shapewear Extra Firm Control Body Briefer (Figleaves.com, $52.80) would go under just about any summer outfit.
Finally, I'm a little obsessed with these Bare Cooling Slip Resist 7 Dernier Tights (MarksandSpencer.com, £4), which aren't available in the United States. Why am I even telling you about them, you ask? Well, according to the manufacturer, not only are they totally sheer, but also "they're uniquely designed to release cooling bubbles as you move, leaving you feeling fresh all day."
Cooling bubbles? For realz? I'm dying to try them! Bring them stateside, please!
How do you feel about shapewear in the summer?

Two of the Ravens' most promising defensive rookies suffered injuries Wednesday at training camp.
Defensive end Brent Urban, a fourth round draft pick out of Virginia, was carted off the field into the training room, unable to put weight on his right leg.
Urban has injured his right knee and will have a magnetic resonance imaging exam tonight to determine the severity of the damage. Urban had ankle surgery in February following the Senior Bowl, but had fully recovered from the procedure.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the team is a little more concerned about Urban.
"We're just hoping and praying for the best on that one," Harbaugh said. "It's his knee."
Meanwhile, second-round defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan limped into the training room under his own power. It's unclear what's wrong with Jernigan, but it didn't appear to be nearly as serious as what happened to Urban. Jernigan appeared to be favoring his back.
"Timmy looks fine," Harbaugh said.
Starting center Jeremy Zuttah was shaken up, but resumed practicing after being examined by trainers.
"Jeremy looks fine," Harbaugh said.
Jernigan has drawn heavy praise from defensive coordinator Dean Pees for his ability to disrupt plays. Jernigan was an All-American selection last season at Florida State before declaring early for the NFL draft.

Female musicians brought into focus
New book highlights achievement of fairer gender
Sadeke Brooks
Men have been at the forefront of Jamaican music for decades, but Chicago-based author Heather Augustyn has placed their female counterparts in the spotlight with her book Songbirds: Pioneering Women in Jamaican Music.
Released last month, Augustyn says the book focuses on women who were involved in the music industry between the 1940s and 1980s. She explained that books have been written about men, but very little attention is given to the females who were very pivotal in the development of the music.
"I realised that there are over 500 books on Bob Marley and none on the women. And without the women, there would probably not be a Bob Marley," she told The Sunday Gleaner.
But the idea for this publication stemmed from a previous book, Don Drummond: The Genius and Tragedy of the World's Greatest Trombonist.
"When I was writing the book on Don Drummond, I realised it was just as much about Marguerita as it was about Don Drummond. If she was so important and we didn't hear about her, it was probably the same of other women. She was critical as without her, there would probably be no reggae as you know it. She was able to bring the Rastafari drummers into the uptown clubs," Augustyn told The Sunday Gleaner.
Anita 'Marguerita' Mahfood, an exotic rhumba dancer and singer, was Don Drummond's girlfriend, who he was convicted of murdering in January 1965.
After doing a presentation at the International Reggae Conference last year about Marguerita, Patsy Todd (of Derrick and Patsy and Stranger and Patsy) and Sonia Pottinger, Augustyn said the idea for the book was born.
Having already written about these female musicians for her presentation, Augustyn continued her research, which saw her interviewing the likes of Millie Small; Enid Cumberland of Keith and Enid; Janet Enright - the country's first female guitarist who performed jazz in the 1950s; Marcia Griffiths of the I-Threes; members of the first all-girl ska band - the Carnations (featuring the parents of Tessanne Chin and Tami Chynn); Doreen Shaffer of the Skatalites; Althea and Donna; among others.
In cases where the musicians passed away, she said she spoke with their family members. "I also used The Gleaner archives, which is amazing," she added.
Unfortunately, she said very little was written about the music in the 1950s and 1960s as it was often seen as 'downtown music'. Back then, she said the musicians of the time were given little recognition and it was even worse for the women, who she believes were neglected.
"Women, especially, because this was not a woman's place in these days and even if women did sing, they were told what to sing and when to sing. Some women were even taken advantage of sexually," she said.
But towards the 1980s, Augustyn said there were improvements.
"The climate was different. There were more women because they saw it could be done. When customs and traditions changed, so did the attitudes towards women in music," she said.
Songbirds: Pioneering Women in Jamaican Music is Augustyn's fourth book on that era, which covers jazz, ska, and rocksteady. Previously, she had books like Ska: An Oral History and Ska: The Rhythm of Liberation.
When compared to her previous books, she says this recent release is twice the size because "... there was a lot of women, a lot of things to say".
As someone who started researching Jamaican music and culture after seeing The Skatalites perform live in Chicago in the mid-90s, Augustyn says she merely wants to preserve the history of the music.
"I want to make sure that 20 or 50 years from now, people can know who Enid Cumberland is or who Janet Enright is. Part of my job is to preserve history. I think that is my number one goal. I hope I can do the history some justice," Augustyn also told The Sunday Gleaner that she was thankful to Herbie Miller, Institute of Jamaica's musical director and curator for the Jamaica Music Museum, for his assistance.
However, in terms of profitability, she says her expectations are low as she "lost money" when she shipped a previous book to Jamaica for distribution and sale purposes. Now, persons are encouraged to order copies of the book on Amazon.com for US$22.
"In America, it is not a good seller, but that's okay because my goal is preservation," she said.
As part of her preservation efforts, she says she will bring copies of the book to Jamaica to be placed in libraries and universities when she returns for the International Reggae Conference in February.

After the sash has been made, it should be draped around the wearer and pinned to itself in the back to hold it in place.
Before making a pageant sash, gather scissors, pins and thread, iron-on letters with an iron, wide satin ribbon and a darker trim ribbon.
- Cut the ribbon.
- Sew the ribbon.
- Apply the letters.
- Pin the sash to the correct length.
First, cut about 72 inches of wide satin ribbon and two 72-inch lengths of narrow trim ribbon.
Using a needle and thread, sew on the trim ribbon lengthwise along the edges of the wide ribbon. If necessary, cut along the edges to make the trim ribbon flush with the wide ribbon.
Use an iron to apply the appropriate iron-on letters running down the middle of the sash. The letters should be placed evenly so that when the sash is draped over the shoulder, all of the letters are still visible from the front.
Drape the sash over the shoulder of the wearer and pin it together in the back at the appropriate length.
