Great Hotel In Disneyland ParisReviewing: Kyriad Disneyland Paris Marne La Vallee, Paris, France | Rating:
It took me several months to finally decide on the hotel to book in Marne La Vallee area in Paris, France where the Disneyland Resort Paris is located.
Since it was our first trip to Paris, I wanted to ensure that we would not get lost and that the proximity of the hotel to Disneyland Resort was close.
The Kyriad Disneyland Hotel was recommended by my friend whose family went a month before we did. That quelled my quest for a good hotel because Kyriad Disneyland Hotel was the hotel I wanted for my family.
Here are good points why I considered this hotel:
Location: It is located inside the Disneyland Resort Paris. It is not adjacent to the park itself but being inside the Disneyland area, we were assured that we would not lose time looking for the place and finding ways to get to Disneyland Resort Paris.
Room: We booked a family room which was good for maximum of 3-4 persons in the room. The hotel room was big enough compared to the other European hotels I have seen so far. We had enough space to walk around. There was a separate double-decker beds allocated for children. An attached bathroom is also in the room. We had mini-bar and complementary coffee, tea and water included in the price I paid. Bathrooms are equipped with hairdryer and free toiletries are also included. There is also a safe and tv with international channels to choose from. All rooms are also installed with airconditioning units.
Meals: Although the price I paid for was exclusive of the breakfast, I had paid in advance the breakfast meal for 3 which was buffet breakfast. They offered continental breakfast buffet.
Ammenities: It was a mansion-like hotel with a separate wing at the back for more rooms. They have a small souvenir shop at the lobby if in case you have forgotten to purchase some nice merchandise from the Disneyland Resort. There is also a restaurant and bars for the adults who would like to unwind after a long day in Disneyland. There are also games and play area for the kids in the lobby.
Staff: They were all amiable and spoke good English.
They offer complimentary shuttle to and from the Disneyland Resort Paris so our trip was really worth the time!
If ever we go back to Disneyland Resort in Paris, I will not have second thoughts on this hotel. I will surely stay here again.

This a really simple and simply superb recipe taught to me by my friends mom Jalajaka , it really tastes awesome and has a big advantage where we can keep the vada dough for at least one week in fridge and still it turns out awesome. A must try snack.
One cup rice ( Ponni or basmathi or raw rice) : wash and soak it for 2 hours
Tamarind : one big lemon size
Whole Red chillies : 6 nos
Curry leaves a few
Fresh Coconut scrapped : Two handful or half coconut
Salt to taste and oil for frying
1. Remove all the water from thee soaked rice and dry grind the rice without adding water to a course powder and dont make it very fine and keep aside.
2. Grind in the mixi with little water , coconut, redchillies, curry leaves and tamarind like chutney and salt keep aside.
3. Now add the chutney to the rice powder and mix well with hand so that you get a thick dough like muruku dough even thicker than that and now make small balls and take a plastic bag and rub oil on it and make the ball flat with hands and the vada should be thick and deep fry it in hot oil in medium heat . It will swel up like pooris.
Serve hot with plain coconut chutney and even it tastes great when eaten with no side dips.

Maritime trade union Nautilus International has called on the UK government for 'radical reform' to protect British jobs onboard UK-flagged ships.
The call comes at a time when despite there being almost 4,000 out of work officers in the UK, many jobs are still going to non-UK residents.
According to the union, against the backdrop of a significant decline in the number of UK seafaring officers working in the UK's shipping industry, seafarer numbers nationally have fallen from more than 66,000 in the 1970s to just over 23,000 today.
The Union is calling on the government to review their position for a reform to the certification system which they believe is currently disadvantageous to UK nationals, a move which should protect jobs and safeguard those working at sea.
In order to work aboard a UK flagged vessel, non-UK Officers are required to hold a Certificate of Equivalent Competency (CEC's) issued by the MCA, which allows them to work onboard a British vessel. However, this is often at the expense of working conditions and lower wages for workers. The Union is calling on the government to revisit an inconclusive report into the issuing of CEC's conducted in 2007.
Nautilus International is encouraging a review of the current system for issuing CEC's which, they say, is not adequately controlled and creates a pool of cheaper labour against which UK resident seafarers struggle to compete.
The union also has concerns about the quality and standards of training with certification overseas, undermining opportunities for the some 2,000 unemployed British officers and directly affecting working conditions and safety.
Nautilus general secretary Mark Dickinson commented: "We are urging MPs to call for a review of the CEC system.
"In 2015, there were more than 10,500 non-UK nationals with valid CECs. In that same year and the next, around 2,000 UK seafarer jobs were lost due to the downturn in the oil price alone. These seafarers have struggled to find work due, in part, to the amount of competition from lower-cost seafarers which is in turn driving down working conditions and pay.
"If the government continues to be complacent on the issue, we will witness a further decline of the nation's essential maritime skills and an even greater dependence on other countries in a world of increasing political turbulence.
"With so many experienced British seafarers now out of work, reform is needed to the system for issuing CECs and to give our home-grown and home-trained maritime professionals the best possible chance of securing future employment".

Shirtless Tayo Branston really stands out in a crowd — even when his crowd is a funkadelic nine-member band that performs songs about a giant robot destroying the earth.
Drummer/vocalist Branston is part of Five Alarm Funk, which will play a mash up of rock, funk and world music on Wednesday at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer.
The local play list will include selections from Abandon Earth, a just-released sci-fi-themed album that sets songs about global destruction to a smile-inducing beat. And Branston will be the clothing-optional guy behind the drum kit.
"I refuse to play with a shirt because I get extremely hot and sweaty," said the 31-year-old.
Other musicians in his Vancouver-based band might choose to wear a random superhero costume or some kind of eye-catching headgear, but Branston generally refuses to get dressed above the waist when on stage.
He explains his drumming style involves playing with his whole body, "and I don't want to be doing a lot of laundry while on tour. … The thing about a Five Alarm show is that we totally engage with our instrument with all of our moves and energy."
The group formed a decade ago once featured an unruly assortment of 10 or 12 musicians, but Branston said that number has since been whittled down to "the perfect nine."
That way, the two guitarists, bassist, three percussionists and three horn players can all fit on stage at the same time and pull off synchronized dance moves in the vein of '70s R&B/funk groups Kool and the Gang, or Earth, Wind and Fire.
"We're all white guys from Vancouver, so we all have two left feet," he admitted.
But practise makes perfect — or at least passable.
"We put on a show with very dance-able music and vocals, and try to make it super fun and quirky, so people have a big smile on their face."
At the same time, some of the group's music has deeper themes, although no overt messages, said Branston. "It's not my style. I never try to push my views on people."
The fifth album, Abandon Earth came about not because group members are B-movie fans, but because they were looking for an theme that would lend itself to being both ridiculous and serious, depending on interpretation.
Fans, especially those familiar with the group's silly We All Scream video (which involves an ice cream-related torture scene), might think of those schlocky 1950s alien invasion movies — and that's fine with Branston, who came up with the robot-destroys-Earth story line last winter.
"I wanted to do something fun because Five Alarm's all about that."
But he was also thinking about climate change and the idea of technology or man-made devices overpowering the natural world. One of the new songs, Higgs Boson, is about fears that splitting the "God particle" might lead to the development of new black holes. "Who knows what would happen if you activated a particle collider?" said Branston.
The group's sense of humour shines through in fake apocalyptic newscasts read by voice actors and squeezed between songs on the album to move the storyline along for listeners.
"Our biggest influence is Frank Zappa," said the Vancouver native, who wanted to be a musician ever since getting his first drum kit at the age of 10.
His firefighter father and cake-decorator mother were always supportive. In fact, Branston credits his mom's love of dancing to salsa and flamenco tunes around the house for exposing him to some of the world music that now colours Five Alarm Funk's repertoire.
Balkan/Gypsy music, Bollywood soundtracks and plain old rock 'n' roll are other influences — as is '70s-style funk, a resurgent musical genre that Branston believes has never entirely faded from popularity.
"People regularly get up and dance at our shows. We toured from Vancouver to London, Ont., and did 18 shows in 17 days and were sold out 95 per cent of the time. … It's getting to the point where our dream is becoming a reality."
There's a $10 cover charge for the 8:30 p.m. show. For more information, call 403-356-0033.

Buzzillion has a collection of customer reviews of Flexsteel chairs, sofas and reclining seats, while And You Will has an expert review of Flexsteel sofas. Consumer Reports compares various brands of sofas and ranks Flexsteel among the top three.
Most of the consumer reviews give four or five stars. The expert evaluation finds the springs and frames to be of high quality but the quality of the upholstery to be more variable. The reviewer specifically advises against Flexsteel's Latitude product line, which is made with less durable leather.
Flexsteel also sells tables, desks and nightstands. Its trademark design feature is its blue steel seat springs, which are very durable and comfortable. Its furniture has a limited lifetime guarantee for frames and springs but only a one-year guarantee for the upholstery.

Can Early Life Gut Microbiota Predict Celiac Disease Development?
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Celiac Disease & Gluten Intolerance ResearchCeliac.com 04/16/2018 - A team of researchers recently set out to investigate whether alterations in the developing intestinal microbiota and immune markers precede celiac disease onset in infants with family risk for the disease. The research team included Marta Olivares, Alan W. Walker, Amalia Capilla, Alfonso Benítez-Páez, Francesc Palau, Julian Parkhill, Gemma Castillejo, and Yolanda Sanz. They are variously affiliated with the Microbial Ecology, Nutrition and Health Research Unit, Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology, National Research Council (IATA-CSIC), C/Catedrático Agustín Escardin, Paterna, Valencia, Spain; the Gut Health Group, The Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK; the Genetics and Molecular Medicine Unit, Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia, National Research Council (IBV-CSIC), Valencia, Spain; the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire UK; the Hospital Universitari de Sant Joan de Reus, IISPV, URV, Tarragona, Spain; the Center for regenerative medicine, Boston university school of medicine, Boston, USA; and the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu and CIBERER, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona, Spain The team conducted a nested case-control study out as part of a larger prospective cohort study, which included healthy full-term newborns (> 200) with at least one first relative with biopsy-verified celiac disease. The present study includes 10 cases of celiac disease, along with 10 best-matched controls who did not develop the disease after 5-year follow-up. The team profiled fecal microbiota, as assessed by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, along with immune parameters, at 4 and 6 months of age and related to celiac disease onset. The microbiota of infants who remained healthy showed an increase in bacterial diversity over time, especially by increases in microbiota from the Firmicutes families, those who with no increase in bacterial diversity developed celiac disease. Infants who subsequently developed celiac disease showed a significant reduction in sIgA levels over time, while those who remained healthy showed increases in TNF-α correlated to Bifidobacterium spp. Healthy children in the control group showed a greater relative abundance of Bifidobacterium longum, while children who developed celiac disease showed increased levels of Bifidobacterium breve and Enterococcus spp. The data from this study suggest that early changes in gut microbiota in infants with celiac disease risk could influence immune development, and thus increase risk levels for celiac disease. The team is calling for larger studies to confirm their hypothesis. Source: Microbiome. 2018; 6: 36. Published online 2018 Feb 20. doi: 10.1186/s40168-018-0415-6

"Spot On"
This apartment is in a great location on the La Torre complex and also right beside a wonderful swimming pool. Being on the ground floor gives very easy access to the pool and has a great terrace and small garden space as well. The apartment is nicely furnished and has everything you may need for a good holiday stay. The addition of a ceiling fan in the bedroom would be the icing on the cake. There are small fans provided but we found them a bit noisy to use at night. Having said that there is an air conditioner in the main lounge area of the apartment so you could run that if you wanted. Overall I would definitely recommend this lovely apartment.
Ideal for a peaceful holiday
I have just returned from a very restful holiday for me and my family in this wonderful apartment. The booking and all communications with the owner and their key holders were faultless which got everything off to a good start.
The apartment was clean and well presented and contained everything we needed for a good weeks holiday. The location near to the shops, the town center and particularly the pool which was about 15 paces from the end of the garden, made the apartment an ideal location for a holiday on the La Torre resort.
The resort is great for just soaking up the sun and allowing the kids to play in the superb pools. There are a couple of restaurants and a Irish themed pub but, aside from the golf of course, there is little else. That is however all my family needed for a great holiday and, what little else we required, was available within a 15-20 minutes drive to San Javier or one of the beach resorts. The beeches at Los Alcazares and Santiago de Rebiera were great for families with young children.
Would highly recommend this apartment and I will be happy to stay here again.
I'm so glad you had a great time.
Great Apartment
Went with my family and Kids, what a lovely apartment. La Torre is a great place, nice pools, nice restaurants. Cant wait to go again
I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves so much. It was a pleasure having you stay at out apartment.
Great holiday rental!
The apartment is in a great location within the complex and the pool is fantastic as only a few feet from the patio area. However our 8 and 10 year old boys were unable to stand in the shallow end and inflatables are not permitted, this is checked regularly by security.Thankfully they have been learning to swim although this was frustrating. It was a great base to work from to travel to different activities, such as the beach, go-karting etc. The apartment had everything you could need and more.
Thanks for your feedback, so glad you had a great time.
Awesome Holiday!!
I spent a week at this apartment with my family. We had such a great time, the kids really enjoyed the pool, we couldnt get them out. My partner and I enjoyed the closeness of the restairants and the Irish bar of which we spent a few nights at. We were totally relaxed and chilled for the holiday. we were also able to enjoy a few rounds of golf, it was great.The apartment is beautiful, it had everything we needed.I especially liked the fact that it was groung floor and a few feet from the pool. We have already booked for next year.
I am so happy that you all enjoyed it so much. Thanks for next years booking.

In the 2013-2014 school year, GK HRAP students continued to build on their previous climate change work by focusing on the issue of climate change education. HRAP students wrote a petition mandating climate education for all New York City public school students and held a rally at City Hall in June 2014, which was attended by partners New York City Council Members Costa Constantinides and Donovan Richards, among many other supporters.
Through a collaborative process with GK Leaders, Council Member Constantinides introduced into New York City Council Resolution 0375-2014 calling for climate change education in all New York City schools.

State Senator Patty Ritchie is applauding nearly $150 million in new job-creating Regional Economic Development Council awards across Central and Northern New York.
Wednesday's announcement represents the third round of job creation awards.
The North Country, which includes Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties and which once again was named a "top performer" in the Governor's annual economic growth competition, will receive $81.3 million. The Central New York region, including Oswego County, is in line for $66.9 million in economic development investment by the state.
The new awards bring to a three-year total of $542.7 million in funding for the two regions—more than any other part of the state, representing what Albany views as the strong growth potential for the local economy.
"Throughout the past two years, the investments made through the Regional Economic Development Council Program have been a catalyst for new jobs and economic growth throughout Central and Northern New York, and today's announcement proves that there's even more potential and enthusiasm for the future," said Senator Ritchie. "Both the Governor and I recognize the need for jobs in our region, and these awards show that New York State is ready and willing to invest in our communities and a brighter tomorrow."
Established in 2011, the Regional Economic Development Councils, made up of local experts and stakeholders with backgrounds in business, academia and local government and non-governmental organizations, were formed to develop long-term strategic plans for economic growth for their regions.
Among projects to be funded with the new round of grants are development of a world-class motor sports facility, located directly off I-81 in Oswego County, funding to assist with the redevelopment of Mercy Hospital in Watertown and broadband expansion to provide high-speed Internet access to more North Country communities.

I Feel Productive! Oh So Productive!
Remember a couple weeks ago when I wasted a whole day trying to get the wireless router connected? Ta Da! And it's behind the firewall, hooked up the way I wanted to to begin with. This means pilgham can have internet even when MD and I are online which was iffy before. It also means I can make this entry while sitting in my family room watching Monk on Tivo which I couldn't do before.
Also MD and I went to the Post Office this morning and applied for our passports.
And, in order to clear room to open up the server to put the new cards in, I cleared part of my desk. This had the happy side effect that my scanner is almost uncovered so I'll actually be able to use it!

Bending over, I wrapped my hand around his erect shaft and licked around the crown, tasting the salt and spice that was Lex. The sound of his moan mixed with the sprinkling from the water.
"You are so sexy," I said, stroking him a couple of times before letting go. "Turn around, brace your hands against the wall and spread your legs."
His lustful gaze settled on me for a few seconds before he did as I instructed.
"You know I love it when you're so compliant, chico," I said as I dropped to my knees behind his legs.
"Just as long as you don't turn into a tyrannical boss." Amusement tinged his words.

Chicago's Premiere River Transportation Service
Wendella Sightseeing, Co. Inc., a Chicago family owned and operated business is entering it's 80th season as one of Chicago's premier sightseeing and tourism venues. Founded in 1935 by Albert Borgstrom, a Swedish immigrant, Wendella is now in its third generation of family ownership. The company has been and continues to be an integral part of activities associated with expanded use of the Chicago River and the city's evolving lakefront. Our mission statement and motto is- "Showcasing Chicago to the World. Setting the Standard for the Industry."Since its inception, an estimated 14 million passengers have been transported safely on more than 150,000 tours/charters.
The Chicago Water Taxi operates on a closed loop route on the Chicago River, from March to December, shuttling passengers between Chinatown and Madison Street on the south branch; La Salle Street, The Chicago Riverwalk at Clark Street, and Michigan Avenue on the main branch, and North Avenue on the North Branch. During the summer, departures and arrivals are scheduled on Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. through 9:00 p.m., weekends from 10:00 a.m. through 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday nights until 11:00pm for Navy Pier fireworks.
In 1962, Wendella started a rush hour commuter service between Michigan Avenue and the Northwestern Railroad Station, enhancing transportation options for the city's thousands of commuters by utilizing the resources of the Chicago River. Known as the RiverBus since 1999, now the new Chicago Water Taxi, Wendella provides seven-day a week water transportation service to thousands of commuters on every branch of The Chicago River. Since 1962, the fleet has safely carried an estimated 4 million rail commuters. In 2012, the Chicago Water Taxi celebrated its 50th anniversary of bringing commuters from Madison street to Michigan Avenue, and was the official liberty ship for the USS Dewert during the War of 1812 Bicentennial.

A few years back, Gwen and I were on Sanibel Island. I walked up the beach toward the area were all the trees used to be. It was known as an area to go nude. I was walking along a part of the beach that seemed deserted, so I slipped my trunks off and continued walking. I started playing with my cock and soon was pumping a nice, full erection. All of a sudden, about 50 feet aheard of me, up on a ledge along the beach, this 30-someting lady pops up from a towel! She had been laying there, and I couldn't see her before. She got a full view of naked me and my masturbation!
I don't believe in exposing myself to people who don't want to watch. I also didn't want to get arrested! I ducked behind a nearby beach bush and slipped my shorts back on. My cock was still buldging, but oh well. I walked on past her and said hello. She smiled back and said 'hi'. She had on a pink bikini. I walked maybe about 150 feet down the beach, to where the tree-line started. Erosion was causing the trees to fall into the Gulf, and there were spaces on the beach between them to put a towel and have a relatively protected area to nude sunbathe. I turned around and noticed the woman had taken off her top. I figured she was there for the same reason I was, so I tossed down my towel, stripped my shorts off, and sat down on the hard packed sand (it was low tide).
I stretched my legs out in front of me. My penis, which was still half-erect, began to stuffen fully in the warm of the Florida sun. I turned and looked up toward the woman. She was stitting there looking at me, with a slight smile on her face. Did she want to watch? I casually reached down and touched my cock, my fingers tracing the underside and the head. It felt so good!
I glanced her way again, and she seemed intrigued. I got bold and put my full fist around my penis and started pumping. I LOVE TO MASTURBATE, and I love being watched! I looked back to her and she was tilting her head, still smiling. I looked at her nude breasts soaking up the warmth. I wondered if she was getting wet.
Soon I exploded in a solo-love orgasm, the sperm shooting up and landing all over my hand, my arm all over my crotch and legs. It was so good! I wiped my hand off on my towel and collapsed on my back. After a moment, I raised myself up on my hands and looked over at the woman. She was smiling, and gave me a little wave! I smiled and waved back! She then quickly put on her top, gathered her towel and disappeared! I put on my shorts and got out of there, just in case she changed her mind and decided she was offended and wanted to call the cops!
But it was a very erotic masturbation session, and I'm glad the lady enjoyed it. I know I did!

Our Mission: "Improving Lives by Changing the Way the World Builds™"
|ConXtech's ConXL and ConXR Systems are Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM Silver under Version 3.1.
The world is rapidly changing and society's appetite for technology has accelerated that change. The developing world is at the epicenter of this change, but the need to build rapidly, cost efficiently and sustainably is not limited to the developing world.
We must house the masses. We must build durable, higher density facilities that can provide the basics to literally billions of people. Simply said, we must build more – for less.
Ironically, technology is not just the driver, but the solution. ConXtech's technologies hold the potential to be an integral part of the solution.
Building Better – A Systemized Approach
A ConX frame is just the beginning of what we call our Chassis Based Modular® building system. The building frame is a precise chassis to which other modularized, or factory fabricated building components and systems can be added. This approach allows ConXtech to offer a particularly green, remarkably affordable and sustainable structural solution for nearly any building application including: hospital, medical office, military, governmental, high density housing, mixed-use, commercial office, data center and parking structures.
The ConX System also provides a greener, more efficient solution for a growing number of industrial applications including communications, alternative energy, pipe rack, pipeline and mining structures that can be easily assembled, disassembled and re-purposed.
Leveraging Technology to Build More Sustainably
ConX structural components are manufactured in highly automated factories which utilize CAD/CAM, Building Information Modeling (BIM), robotics, CNC machining, specialized fixturing and other state-of-the-art technologies. Although these technologies have been employed in the automotive, aerospace and a host of other industries for decades, the construction industry has been particularly slow to innovate or adopt technology for a variety of reasons.
Now, as the world begins to recognize the value of building more sustainably, technology is the key to cost control and quality and will enable unprecedented collaboration and efficiencies in the use of materials, time and energy in the built environment.
Efficient Use of Time, Materials and Energy
- Time
ConX building components are precision manufactured in a factory environment, reducing labor in the field. ConXtech's Certified Fabricators provide a fixed place of employment – a factory rather than varying job sites, which historically have required an entire labor force to travel great distances from home to jobsite and back – only to travel to begin again at new jobsite or place of employment when a project is complete. This antiquated model makes it impossible for millions of workers to locate their homes near their work because their workplace is transient.The benefits of ConXtech's model are abundant. Factory manufactured enables a majority of the construction labor force to locate their homes and families near their place of employment. Fewer miles traveled reduces waste in numerous ways including enormous savings in fuel consumption, an opportunity to use public transit or bicycle to work, and fewer hours wasted in transit. Employment near home also means more family time and time to participate in our communities.In the field, ConXtech assembles a structure 2X to 5X faster when compared to conventional methods, and minimizes disruption to the community in which we are building. In remote or industrial applications, the savings are even more significant.
- Materials
ConXtech primarily sources steel manufactured in state of the art Electric Arc Furnaces, of which 90-100% is recycled automobiles or other scrap steel. Scrap in a ConX factory is less than 2.5%, whereas the conventional industry is 6-8%. Lastly, similar to more conventional structural steel, all scrap is then recycled.
- Energy
The Electric Arc Furnace utilizes considerably less energy and resources to produce the equivalent amount of steel in comparison to the traditional integrated steel operation. ConXtech minimizes structure related waste both in the factory and at the building site. All of these things contribute to sustainability of our planet, our communities and our families. Additionally, most of the energy consumed in a ConX factory is electricity in contrast to fossil fuels that would be consumed by field welding.
The ConXeco factor can be realized in every phase of the building process:
Conceptual Design, Architecture, Engineering and Analysis
In many cases the initial framing plan is conceived on paper from a plan view of the architect's conceptual drawings or in AutoCAD. From that point forward, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and CAD tools are employed and those drawings evolve electronically all the way through the process until the structure is fully manufactured. This does not mean that the drawings don't make it onto paper at points in time throughout the process, but ConXtech reduces the amount of paper consumed by streamlining the design process so that the initial conceptual designs are closer to reality from both structural and aesthetic perspectives. Less back and forth between architect and engineer reduces consumption of paper, toner and even incremental energy consumption. Conservatively, we estimate that we reduce paper consumed during the design phase by 50%. Analysis is also automated using eTabs or other software analysis tools.
From Approval to Detailing
Structural detailing is highly automated and checking details is accomplished electronically using a variety of CAD applications including Revit and Tekla. These tools, along with the use of oversized displays on modelers and detailers' desktops, enable cross-checking iterative updates directly from the electronic model (rather than from printed drawings.) Manufacturing data is transferred electronically from the model to CNC cut and drill lines. This process virtually eliminates the shop drawings which typically consume paper, toner and other resources.
The resulting structure is precise due to the use of electronic files which greatly reduces potential for human errors that often occur in fabrication and field assembly. "What You Design Is What You Get" (WYDIWYG). This electronic process enables the design and detailing team to literally eliminate weeks and sometimes months, in the design detailing phase.
From Detailing to Manufacturing
ConX moment collar connector components are machined to precise tolerances using CNC machine centers, a production cell that can run lights out for 72 hours. ConX beams and columns are cut and drilled by an automated cut-and-drill line that requires minimal human intervention and can produce substantially more product for the same footprint and manpower when compared to conventional methods.
Welding is conducted either robotically or manually in a factory environment utilizing specialized fixturing and processes. Whether welded robotically or manually, ConXtech's technologies and processes result in higher quality in significantly less time. For example, ConX robotic weld cells accomplish in 5 minutes and 35 seconds, what would take close to 3 hours in the field.
ConXtech has also developed a "manual factory" comprised of fixturing along with appropriate manual processes, to achieve rapid throughput in a manual factory environment while still delivering ConX building components and assemblies with unprecedented precision and quality.
From Manufacturing to the Field
ConXtech's process from manufacture to the field is also streamlined. ConX structures are manufactured in the order in which the building will be assembled in a Just-In-Time (JIT) sequential fashion to minimize the need for storage of finished goods and lay-down on site.
Reduction in Steel Reduces CO2 in the Atmosphere
Engineering with ConX has reduced the amount of structural steel by 5% to 30% when compared to conventional steel. For every ton of structural steel produced, two (2) tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere. Due to the redundant distribution of robust connectors in a ConX structure (resulting in a space frame); a less complex foundation can often replace piles or piers – resulting in a significant savings in schedule and foundation related materials. Additionally, in high seismic areas, there are often fewer pounds per square foot of steel in a ConXframe than just the steel reinforcement (rebar) in a concrete structure.
Recycled and Reused ConX Packaging
The packaging used for shipping and protection of ConXR components from the factory to the field is also highly efficient and green. Precisely machined beam-end connectors are protected for shipping with recycled plywood end-caps. The end-caps protect the machined surfaces and are re-used again and again – leaving virtually no garbage, scrap or clutter on the site.
Minimal Waste on Site
Because ConX components are pre-manufactured and factory pre-assembled to the largest extent possible, ConX creates remarkably little waste at the jobsite. There is virtually none of the conventional cut and fit or field welding on the structure. There is also minimal cut and fit of the corrugated metal decking because that material is ordered off of the BIM model, in pre-cut lengths that fit directly into the building's bays.
Delivery is also sequenced (just as the frame structure is sequenced) so that decking can be taken directly off the truck and hoisted into the structure. This choreographed approach means that in even the toughest urban environments where lay-down space is limited, the ConX System can be efficient and less disruptive to the community.
The Ultimate in Sustainability – Disassemble, Reassemble and Repurpose
Our unique bolted collar connection makes components uniquely re-usable. The lack of weld between ConX beams and ConX columns means that each stand-alone column and each beam assembly can be repurposed into a completely different structure with minimal impact to our environment.
In fact, ConXtech has utilized the same frame components (columns and beam assemblies) on several structural bracing projects where ConX was assembled to temporarily brace a number of historic facades while the interior was seismically retrofitted. Today, those same assemblies reside in a helicopter rescue training tower for the National Park Service in Yosemite, CA.

Background. Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that appears at sites of inflammation in cardiac pathologies. Aim of the Work. To evaluate the role of TN-C as a marker for active inflammation in children with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Subjects and Methods. 24 consecutive patients with primary nonfamilial DCM aged 6–72 months (mean ) were divided into group I, twelve patients with acute onset DCM (<6 months duration), and group II, twelve patients with chronic DCM (>6 months duration), and compared to 20 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Investigations included estimation of serum TN-C and echocardiographic evaluation using M-mode and 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Results. Serum TN-C showed a higher significant statistical elevation among patients than controls () and in group I than group II (). EF was significantly decreased, and LVEDD and EDV increased in patients than controls and in GI than GII. STE showed a statistically significant difference in global peak strain longitudinal (GPSL) average in patients than controls () and between GI and GII (). STE wall motion scoring showed normokinesia (33.5%), hypokinesia (8.33%), and akinesia (50%) in GI and hypokinesia (100%) in GII. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between serum TN-C and GPSL average. Conclusions. Increased serum TN-C can be used as a marker of inflammation in DCM and is associated with the severity of heart failure and LV dysfunction as detected by STE.

Sidney Crosby scored his 400th career goal in the Pittsburgh Penguins' game Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.
Crosby scored 3:31 into the second period to tie the game 1-1 and reach the milestone. Conor Sheary assisted on the goal.
Thanks for the puck, ref.
Sid's going to have to add that one to his collection. pic.twitter.com/zaNSApdCWZ
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) February 11, 2018
Crosby is just the third Penguins player to reach the 400-goal mark, joining Jaromir Jagr (439) and Mario Lemieux (690). Crosby's teammate Evgeni Malkin has 358.
Crosby is also the 95th player in NHL history with 400 goals.
It was Crosby's 18th goal this season. He led the NHL with 44 goals last season.
Only Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Alex Ovechkin have more points among active players. Crosby was the top pick in the 2005 draft, and Ovechkin was No. 1 in 2004, but they both were rookies in 2005-06. They have been compared their whole careers, and after Crosby's goal Sunday, they were separated by only five points (1093-1088).

For me the best walks on Tenerife, or anywhere, involve routes which offer lots of interesting curios, OMG scenery moments and also have something that little bit different which sets them apart form other walks.
The route we followed yesterday fitted this criteria perfectly. As we navigated our way along a partially overgrown merchants' trail, we detoured to an old tile oven and a communal water tank which in the past was used to refresh the animals and clean the clothes – imagine cleaning your laundry next to a slavering great beast of burden.
The path also skirted the occasional abandoned house, one of which occupied an enviable spot with vistas from Alcalá all the way to the edge of Costa Adeje. We spent a few minutes exploring and imagining how wonderful it would look when fully renovated. Oddly enough the place was littered with the soles of old shoes making us wonder if a zapatero (shoemaker) had lived here.
All around was evidence of a thriving agricultural past that had been long since abandoned, possibly because of the lure of a far more lucrative income offered by the pleasure palaces on the coast below. There were rows of neat empty terraces, more eras (threshing circles) than I've ever seen in one area and old disused fountains where the green slimy puddles showed that the water of life still trickled.
We followed a cobbled trail lined by tabaiba, cactus groves and wild lavender, stopping where paths merged to make educated guesses (hopefully) at the right direction. The path undulated along gentle ravines before a completely hidden path ascended steeply to a ridge, then descended to the base of an oasis of a ravine where it disappeared into wild vines and long whispering grass.
Tracing the faintest outline we pushed the foliage apart and made or way up through a narrow ravine until we reached a point in the path where a pumice dry-stone wall bordered one side and an agricultural enclosure the other. The contents of the enclosure were covered so I couldn't see what was being grown, but it was clear that it had been tended recently; up ahead the faint sound of human voices broke the silence.
I've got to admit to my imagination running away a wee bit here and suddenly visions of Leo DiCaprio in The Beach entered my head. This was supposed to be an abandoned valley, yet it clearly wasn't. Suppose it was now a marijuana factory or something?
However rationality knocked these fanciful thoughts from my head. I've never walked anywhere that feels safer than Tenerife; the chances of being machine-gunned were remote to say the least.
We carried on toward the voices and pushed a curtain of grass aside...and there it was; Las Fuentes, an immaculate little agricultural valley hidden away in the hills.
I love those moments when you reach the highlight of a walk when suddenly one step opens up a whole new world. The Montaña Guajara walk is a bit like that. But this was a place I'd never even seen a photograph of, so it felt extra special.
This sort of experience is what walking on Tenerife is all about.
A detailed guide of the route will be added to Tenerife Island Walks soon, that's a definite.

Cheers Dennis,
Definitely a simple life up there and by the looks of the terraces and vines you'd never run out of spuds or wine...but the question is do they get Man U games?

Match Process
Pilot Health Tech NYC is a marketplace for digital health technologies. A key part of this program is connecting buyers and sellers through curated matchmaking. We understand that as a Host it can be difficult to determine which early-stage healthcare technology company or 'innovator' might be the best match for your organization's needs. Similarly, for a company, the initial pilot relationships can make or break future progress. Pilot Health Tech NYC's matchmaking process works as follows:
- Both Innovators and Hosts looking for pilot partners should fill out the "Find a Partner" form indicating your interests, capabilities, and resources. The deadline is October 8, 2015.
- We'll do an initial screening and send each Host a list of companies that match their interests.
- Hosts will let us know whether they want to make any changes to their proposed schedule
- Once the selections come in, we'll set up 15 minute roundtable discussions during the in-person matchmaking sessions. Matchmaking sessions will take place two times a year.
Because of the volume of interest that we receive, not all applicants will be invited to attend the matchmaking sessions. After the matchmaking sessions, the Host and Innovators will be responsible for setting up follow-up sessions to agree on the details of the pilot project, including budget, milestones, and timeline.
Note: Interested applicants do not have to go through the Pilot program's matchmaking process to apply for funding. However, only joint Host and Innovator applications will be accepted into the Funding program. Please read our Official Rules.

- Aetna
- American Heart Association
- Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health
- Bedford Stuyvesant Family Health Center

From 6 months ago.
I give the people what they want, when I want.
Now. If you could all turn on your inner British-English accent voices in your head, we can proceed.
There will now be many more photos than any of you care to see of us standing in front of important British places where we can't touch them or are too thrifty to pay an extra quid to go inside.
And we're off. July 2014.
Malaysian Airlines
Non-stop flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to London, England
On board their top of the line A380. I daresay a more uneventful flight with 4 Littles in tow has never been.
The gravity of that reality gets me every time.
How many other Mama's took pictures of their sleeping babes aboard that aircraft and never got to show them off on a blog or to friends?
I post these because I feel a little more human by doing so.
And LESS mind blowing is that this was a 12? 13? hour flight. I have a friend who repeatedly shakes her head at the prospect of being on a plane for that long. Or maybe some of you can't imagine taking your kids on big trips. Well, this is what it looks like. You just kinda deal. (and pray you get a bulk-head)
You also have to deal with this. (granted we were MOVING back to the US temporarily...we don't normally take this much crap on a holiday)
Y'all, we've had several moments over the years that got testy as we traveled. But lugging that luggage across 3 terminals with
Near the end of the epic terminal trek we met GRANDMA! Yaaaaaaaay!
She timed her flight to near perfection and arrived about an hour or so after us.
We found the BEST cabbie in the world. (his name is Ray and we can put you into contact with him if you'd like) And once we made it safely to our hotel, got unpacked, and washed the "travel funk" off of us, things perked up.
Within 5 minutes we found a
|The Tube. It should be noted that we have about 6 photos of Zayah and Grandma sitting together on the tube. :)
Big Ben! Just, right there!
And then across the street, Westminster Abbey (and all the cool buildings apart of it)
|You don't need Big Ben in the frame, when these cuties are filling it so well. One of my favorites!
And the Queen's House.
(Confession: I'm a history dork. HISTORYYYYYY!!!!)
JUMP FOR JANE! Well. At least we're all smiling!
The Tower Bridge (NOT the one with the song)
Fact: THIS is my favorite family picture of the whole trip.
Isaiah: "A bird pooped on my head."
Question: "Why?"
Isaiah: "Because I was chasing birds everywhere I went."
And then we got our Harry Potter nerd on.
Y'all. I have ZERO problems being a touristy-tourist in a city where I have a ton of anonymity.
Guys, do y'all know that THIS was where Hagrid walked Harry to catch the Hogwart's Express in the very first movie?
No. Shame.
We're near the end. Just two left. (for this post)
This may be hard to believe, but travel isn't always cool playgrounds and magical luggage trolleys.
So much whining during this meal.
So much.
Such a cute, trendy, healthy little eating establishment, ruined by incessant crying.
Shortly after getting up from this table I had Ivy in the infant carrier facing me (because she had been crying so much at the table).
Holy Hogsmeade Harry.
Travel Tip: King's Cross Station has a family restroom where, say, if you need to strip down to your knickers to wash your clothes out in the sink, there is one located just past the Harry Potter photo op behind the escalators. Paper towels for days. Take as long as you need.
The boys succumbed to the jet lag while I was de-puking myself, rounding out our big days in London.
Next up!

We've recently, been holding a series of online trainings, using the new 3CX WebMeeting platform. It's only natural that we also host an online training about the 3CX WebMeeting platform itself.
As promised, we are publishing the recorded webinars on our website for those who couldn't make it to the live one:
In the webinar, we explain what a webconference is and how it can be used to communicate and collaborate with colleagues, associates and customers. We introduce you to the platform's client software and the WebRTC platform, where you can host a web meeting over a browser with no software installations required. We explain the requirements needed to run a web meeting and explain the different levels of participants as well as the procedure required to enable web meeting accounts in 3CX Phone System and the bandwidth managing features.
The Client-Server architecture is also explained, to show the benefits of hosting multiple participants in the meeting.
On a less technical note, we go over some factors which can increase the meeting quality and experience, for example lighting, clothing and the audio/video equipment you are using which is as equally important as bandwidth and infrastructure.
These online trainings are part of the revamped 3CX Academy where online trainings are held in an interactive and educational way using our very own, recently launched, 3CX WebMeeting.

Mexican Stamps Racist, Civil Rights Leaders Say
Thursday, June 30, 2005
The Mexican government issued a series of stamps yesterday depicting a dark-skinned Jim Crow-era cartoon character with greatly exaggerated eyes and lips, infuriating black and Hispanic civil rights leaders for the second time in weeks.
Mexican postal officials said the five-stamp series features Memin Pinguin, a character from a comic book created in the 1940s, because he is beloved in Mexico. A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy described the depiction as a cultural image that has no meaning and is not intended to offend.
"Just as Speedy Gonzalez has never been interpreted in a racial manner by the people in Mexico," embassy spokesman Rafael Laveaga said. ". . . He is a cartoon character. I am certain that this commemorative postage stamp is not intended to be interpreted on a racial basis in Mexico or anywhere else."
But the leaders of the NAACP, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the National Council of La Raza and the National Urban League denounced the image in strong terms, calling it the worst kind of black stereotype. The curator of a Michigan museum that collects Jim Crow memorabilia said the Memin Pinguin caricature is a classic "pickaninny" -- a black child, oafish and with apelike features.
"It is offensive," said the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, who like other leaders called on Mexican President Vicente Fox to apologize and stop circulation of the stamps. Jackson vowed to lead a demonstration at Mexican consulates if Fox does not do so.
It was the second time in seven weeks that Jackson called on Fox to apologize for a racial offense. In May, Fox apologized for saying that Mexican migrants in the United States work jobs that "even blacks don't want," a comment he said was taken out of context.
Marc H. Morial, executive director of the National Urban League, joined Jackson in calling on President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to denounce the stamps. "It's outrageous, it's offensive, and it really raises the question of whether President Fox's apology was sincere and meaningful," Morial said.
Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, said it is "impossible to overstate how appalled and offended I am, not only by the stamp but by the reaction of the Mexican postal service." She added: "Hispanic Americans and all other Americans will and should be equally outraged."
David Pilgrim, curator of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., said images such as that of Memin Pinguin are prolific in Mexico, Latin America and Japan. "I'm disappointed but not shocked," he said. "This is consistent with what we in the United States would refer to as a pickaninny image. It's disappointing when you find a government putting its stamp on racism."

Despite what you might have heard, climate change is very real and very serious. Scientific studies have proven the planet is getting warmer and warmer. Storms like hurricanes are getting more and more severe. We're seeing normally warm weather events like tornadoes in the middle of winter. The polar ice caps are melting and as a result, sea levels are rising. If the trend continues, we face the very real possibility of several east coast cities eventually being partially or completely under water.
So what can you do? Plenty. Write to your representatives and senators to urge them to support climate change regulations. Donate to scientific organizations dedicated to fighting and educating about climate change. Talk to your friends and get them involved as well.
Other ways you can help include changing your commute. Cars contribute a tremendous carbon footprint, which contributes to climate change. Take public transportation, ride a bike, or get together with coworkers to create a carpool. Even better, see if you can work from home a few days a week.
Buy environmentally friendly products. Avoid those with excess or non-recyclable packaging. Avoid all types of Styrofoam, including packing peanuts. The manufacturing process contributes greatly to air pollution and the product itself is not biodegradable. Instead it sits in landfills for many years. Landfills are a huge contributor to climate change due to the massive amounts of methane gas they produce. To avoid adding to them, recycle as much as possible. Many cities encourage and even require recycling of paper, plastic, glass and metal. If you have a baby, consider using cloth diapers instead of disposable. Buy a steel or plastic water bottle that you can refill instead of buying packs of bottled water. Those plastic bottles build up in landfills and take many years to breakdown.
If you are really serious about fighting climate change, consider getting a degree in environmental science, meteorology or engineering and make climate change research your career. You can get started at online-engineering.case.edu. If you don't want to make that kind of commitment, volunteer for non-profit organizations dedicated to environmental protection or climate change. Education is the strongest weapon of all.
Talk about climate change on social media. Direct people to solid, legit information sources and away from the plethora of fake news and propaganda sites. Don't be afraid to correct misinformation or educate people.

Artist Eliza Bennett takes embroidery to the extreme, literally creating an art installation in her skin! She uses her own hand and skin as a base for embroidery to create immensely work worn hands; in hopes of challenging stigmas related to traditionally considered 'women's work' (such as sewing and embroidery) in her work named 'A Women's Work is Never Done- Flesh/Thread.'
She uses her own hands to shed light on society's problematic pre-conceived notions of 'women's work' as being easy work. Bennett literally depicts the labor and pain that goes into the trade of embroidery. She also demonstrates how undervalued and under paid the trade is, along with other gendered trades.
Bennett claims that her work has a "narrative quality," even though it's shocking and extreme. Most importantly she states, "To me what makes a powerful work of art is when it moves one to acknowledge the wealth of feelings inside, whilst embracing the incoherence of lived experience". Talk about being a dedicated artist!

Warren Buffett's annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders usually contains an interesting section on the insurance business—a crucial ingredient in the Oracle of Omaha's investing strategy.
Read it here: Warren Buffett's annual letter to investors
In this year's bulletin, Buffett talks about the hit Berkshire's BRK.A, +3.01% BRK.B, +2.84% underwriting business took as a result of the three devastating hurricanes that hit Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico last year. Berkshire's pretax loss is seen at $3.2 billion he said, which comes to around $2 billion after tax. Overall damages from the hurricanes are seen at around $100 billion, Buffett noted, while cautioning that such estimates are often revised substantially higher.
Read: 7 highlights from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway investor letter
Buffett noted the loss came after a 14-year string of underwriting profits, which totaled $28.3 billion pretax.
"I have regularly told you that I expect Berkshire to attain an underwriting profit in a majority of years, but also to experience losses from time to time. My warning became fact in 2017, as we lost $3.2 billion pretax from underwriting."
See: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway got a $29 billion boost in 2017 from tax plan
Buffett said the $2 billion net cost from the hurricanes cut Berkshire's net worth by less than 1%, while other companies in the reinsurance business suffered net losses of 7% to 15%.
Buffett also discussed the probability of a U.S. "mega-catastrophe"— an event that causes $400 billion or in insured losses. Berkshire puts the probability of any such event in a given year at 2%.
Read: Warren Buffett: New accounting rule will 'severely distort' future Berkshire earnings figures
"No company comes close to Berkshire in being financially prepared for a $400 billion mega-cat. Our share of such a loss might be $12 billion or so, an amount far below the annual earnings we expect from our non-insurance activities," he said.
Frighteningly, he says that such an event would put much, if not most, of the property-and-casualty insurance world out of business.
